      All,

      I had a bunch of tabs open in Firefox and so I decided to go weed through them and see what I could act on and close.  A common theme were posts made at http://www.survivialblog.com which I had found interesting and had kept open to post about here.  The topics range from Using Military Principles – Improve Civilian Radio Comms to Building a Simple One-Tube Radio Kit to A Crystal Radio Kit for TEOTWAWKI to some Elenco Electronics radio reviews.  There was a fascinating six post Communications Options for the Common Man series that covered a lot of material that I hear our members discussing regularly.  If you don’t look at any of the others, at least look at the first of that series and see if it interests you.  I thought one or more of them would, so I am going to post the titles and hyperlinks below.  If they do interest you, great.  If not, the information is still here for some future reader.

      Just to add some additional color to the website cited above and the posts made there, the site is owned by author James Wesley Rawles (Wikipedia bio).  Rawles is a former US Army Intelligence author and a prolific author.  He has “…eight books in print that are sold by mainstream booksellers: five novels and three nonfiction survival books.”  He started the blog a number of years ago and in my estimation it has the best, and best updated, content of any blog of this type anywhere.

      Amateur radio has a strong nexus to prepping.  If you are a prepper and you are not checking his site daily, you are missing a wealth of tremendous content.
