  1. I'm a ham - in fact that's my call sign here on YouTube. I've had my Amateur Extra license since 1993. I live close to Boston and when the terrorists struck everyone assumed the government shut down the cell network - nope congestion was the cause. Amateur radio would have gotten through. And yes, point to point but for VHF/UHF you can setup generators are repeater sites and extend it to tens of miles range.Oh and I get tagged as a SHTF guy - just because I have radios and guns.

  2. For a moment I was thinking if IRLP would work - but if everything goes down net services probably would too. So HF it would have to be. Or a 10GHz 1500W signal toward say Los Angeles.

  3. Here's my view on it. Why would beings from another world want to visit Earth? It makes no sense to haul across the vast distances of the cosmos to get here. Now time travel - I think we can do that. So maybe it's us from the future? But then the future has not yet happened so that's not it either.
