Very Disturbing on NOV 9th

[Pistol Packing Preacher]

It would be my guess that the HAM operators will be pretty active that day-

We are already active! We have the knowledge and the equipment and have been practicing for a long time.
When everything is down... hams get through!

Who really listens to the radio anymore? Between podcasts and music I actually want to listen to, my ipod is ALWAYS on in the car. At home, the tv is only on for movies and the occasional football game. We have a family of 5 and try to practice the art of conversation with our kids while we are at home.
If they wanted to get a real emergency message to me, they would have to send it to my cellphone. Or turn on my tv so I could see the message.
Either way in the end, they have control over all media that is outside your own personal network and will take control of what they want, when they want. I just hope they know the consequences for that action.
That said, this specifically seems to me to be nothing different than the EBS of old.
