One good Solar Storm would wipe out all but the basics now days. LOL

They would be going house to house looking for the CB radios people had stached away.

I still have my morse key which I used with a 1/4 watt transmitter, and we used to get out far in the right conditions.... Very crude it was, but worked Grin

Morse always got out further than the radio's Clapp

even the boats preferred morse in the old days, the sos from the titanic was in morse Funny

Hi AU, great to hear / see you here Great

Believe it or not, normal radio would not of worked as good as the morse (in those days anyway), even in this day and age, airports still use morse to identify the airport. If you use a scanner you can often pick it up if you are near enough to the airport.... Morse seems to get to places that normal signals do not No no!

I think X, needs to use morse, as his internet does not seem to work so well Funny
