That might explain the lack of responses....oops.
There are some hippie communities that run eco/green radio stations, that are entirely powered by renewables and are 100% off grid. If there's a grid down situation, this style of radio station could provide a series of important datasets.
My thoughts are, they will still be up and running, and broadcasting on AM/FM frequencies, will continue to run and talk about the situation going on. They will be a beacon of information and a great help. With grid down...they'll still be running.
The other thought on these kinds of stations, they could be commendeered by TPTB and used to broadcast a message of 'everything is okay. Stay in your homes...etc'.
Either way, the information provided will be useful. If commendeered, it lets us know there is still a working police force or military. If it gets taken over by rioters and the alike, it provides info about how bad things are going/getting.
So I'm just curious who has thought about this and who has any experience working with them or even just turning in on them. Any info on their reliability and any recommendations for stations to tune into?
