What about us getting some sort of common equipment? and a common prepper frequency?
could we do it? for mutual aid, protection or stores sharing etc...
maybe we could all chip in, so we know we're all in it properly.
maybe with some sort of passwords, security etc...
And before you say it I know its been said before but..
any new ideas or thoughts?...
I know much has been made about cb's and such but is there an id card we could make, a small badge we could wear, just so we dont shoot each other....

I certainly hope we will, I sure could use a vacation from this silly shit."

When CBs were all the rage we set up a club and one of the techies modified our rigs to get a slightly off channel frequency which we could use at the flick of a switch. A channel just for us. That was how I met some of my close friends. It worked great and then CB was legalised and we all went our own ways.
The issue we have is we are all over the country, none of us know each other and we are unlikely to build up close relationships that way. However, in saying that I set up the contact area for that very purpose so people living close could meet and build up relationships.
I can't think of a way that we could do this covering the UK like the masons, with a secret handshake, or frequency. Any ideas? I don't have the pennies to invest on a bit of kit that would be stored in Wales and I may never get to use when I need it.
I think though this is what we should be looking at. A community is much better than an individual.

PMR is a reasonable bit of kit for short range use 1 to 2 mms.
CB gets you a bit further.
HAM radio can get you around the world but, would you want a great big target...I mean radio antenna in your back garden in a situation where people could be cold, tired and hungry?

You can't eat a radio antenna, in a rural environment it may draw make it easier for refugees to find your house but in an urban or suburban environment I don't think it will draw additional attention to you.
There is house I pass occasionally that has a huge antenna in the garden. I assume he has a few radios, I don't assume he has stocks of food.

You can make it with OPSEC in mind. My next door neighbour was a ham and he had his washing line as an antenna with a extension which he raised in the dark. I would guess we could so something similar.
Maybe we should arrange a frequency and time when we could all go on and listen. Meeting points as well. Now is the time before we need it.
