In these unsettled times, many people are preparing themselves, their families, and other groups to survive if law and order breaks down due to the "Big One" that comes from whatever source. For such groups, survival communications can be a 'game changer' if not a key to success or failure. This book takes a basic look at helping the 'survivalist' to think about communications planning. Portable radio equipment, antennas, voice/CW use, security, operations, and more are discussed. Numerous links also will help the reader explore in much more detail.
