Someone LB asked about ham radio for meet-up if internetz down. In addition to VHF/UHF local comms, neighborhood or city-wide repeaters (recommended), those hams with HF capability can meet on 40m or 80m. A proposed Storm Watch network control protocol attached.

It's a standard emergency/traffic net similar to what hams establish to handle emergencies like hurricanes, floods, etc. that take out regular comms.

Thanks to the hamAnon who prepared this.

Please note that if you are not a hamAnon, you can certainly LISTEN on these frequencies with your shortwave radio and a stubby antenna, but unless you're licensed AND have a ham radio transceiver with a decent antenna, let's say a wire 20 meters in length at least 25 feet high, with a suitable ground, you're NOT going to transmit. It would be unlawful, but also just not even technically feasible.

God bless patriots.
