Why Preppers Need Shortwave Radio
It’s definitely different from what it used to be decades ago – with today’s digital technologies, associated communications methods, and the internet. However, being preparedness-minded, a so-called portable battery-powered ‘shortwave radio’ (including the HF Ham Radio bands) certainly has some preparedness appeal. Radios remain one of our most reliable means of communication.
When looking for the best shortwave radio, I highly recommend that it also includes the HF ham radio bands, and, (important!), SSB capability (single side band). Cheaper shortwave radios do not include SSB capability.
single side band will pick up HAM broadcasters
If America ever had a really worst case kind of event, like an electromagnetic pulse attack, a shortwave radio could get you news and information from halfway around the world. You would have the ability to know what is going on. That could be important if all official news and information sources have been destroyed or damaged.
The same thing would be true if there were massive power failures.
