Massive solar storm ? solar and Scotland don't really belong in the same sentence. Even if it does happen , it would only remove the longer distance capability of my UV-5R. The CB should provide some form of backup for that , but I dont really want to use that.
The further north you are or further south in other hemisphere the higher the risk of an EMP created by a CME, like north western Canada in the 80s.
