Solar flares

[TheGuru]

Apparently there is a couple of smallish ones on the way,, should hit Friday Saturday. CNN were reporting them as massive and scaring the shit out of all those yanks but they are not gonna be that bad however they may affect some comms. As far as farrady cages go a metal insulated box is just not man enough for the job, it will stop low level reception like a radio or a mobile phone from working but it will not stop a higher level of transmission like a CB radio or a scary EMP. I am sure I read a post on here somewhere about how you should have multiple layers and thats spot on. I have got my CB radios in metal insulated boxes from Machinemart for 8 quid and then secured in Tech Protect EMP bags 14 quid for 2, and it does the job great. For my Bug out Bus I have got a spare set of ECUs and other electronic parts all protected by the same way. So if we get one big CME I should be able to get going again but if another comes in soon after I am gonna be well pissed off ranting raving and cursing at the side of the roas somewhere.
