Hi Guys,

Thanks for the warm welcome.

To try and answer a couple of the questions that have been asked I'll give you a bit of a bio:

I have lived in Surrey for as long as I've been around and am married with 4 kids ranging from 26 down to 4, 1 grand child and up to another 3 on their way...... (2 daughters are "with child" we just don't quite know how many yet, but has one on the way and other "may" have two - don't ask )

I've got many interests and one of them is a "doomsday" scenario and where do we go after that......

I personally think the we are on our way to a "new world order" but not in the way the PTB think we are!!!!!

I believe that there are a couple of possibilities that will cause the "end of civilisation as we know it" or SHTF scenario and they are, in no particular order:

a) Economical/Political collapse
b) Natural disaster (solar flares being high on the list)
c) Revolution caused by a) .........

but it will come.

I am "by trade" an "Ex" IT engineer and have an avid ongoing interest in radio comms and been involved in comms (in an amateur capacity) for some 25 odd years although not "licensed" it never stopped me communicating

So as I said, time to take it to the next level

Cheers and beers,
MA

Sounds interesting. We have a few hams here and not just the radio enthusiasts.

Hi Skean D,

Reading your musings, there are a couple of things there that I could well have written......

I think we are living in interesting times and not for the reasons the "popular press" would have you believe, nuff said

I think that the "tone" of this forum is absolutely on the right track compared with some of the others that are out there, that's not to say they are not valid but I just feel that this one is more "progressive in it's thinking" shall we say

It might be progressive but cannablism does pop up about once a month
