Captain Radio Adventures
The channel focus will shift to amateur radio's role in "preparedness" in terms of readiness to respond to emergencies and disasters (both man made and natural). I will still post content related to Summits on the Air, antenna design and general amateur radio topics from time to time. Amateur radio is supposed to be the last line of communications infrastructure that can survive a catastrophe because it is decentralized and be operated apart from the electrical grid - it is a stand-alone mode of communications.
