[amsat-bb] Re: Safekeep Sat Radios

[Glenn Little WB4UIV <glennmaillist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In a nuclear war, the satellites are targeted first to blind  and cause 
chaos to the enemy.

While in the military we learned to rely on absolutely nothing satellite 
based. It is great when it works, but, is a very easy target and easy to 
destroy.

What would the radios kept in a "safebox" talk to with the satellites gone?
