Radio Communicating Options
Handy in many situations, radio communications can be life saving when phones and Internet are down or out of reach. This 2-hour, one evening overview of radios covers walkie-talkies across the yard to ham radios around the world. What radios should you have for emergencies? What do they cost? What do they do? How can you be sure they will be available when you really need them? Regular, non-technical people become Ham radio operators all the time. Should you? If so, how?
