I know that your comment was tongue-in-cheek, as was my response!
Have fun and 73,

I'm sure that he meant 1974 or 1984. In 1874 they only had landline
morse telegraph. Now during the civil war they sent up observers in
balloons with morse keys. Lightning would be an issue there, but not EMP.
The first EMP incident, predating the atomic bomb was probably War of
the Worlds (1939?)

I'm ex-Army Signal Corps (1874-1987.)
On the modern battlefield EMP is a real concern and the radios were
hardened. This would included solid-state as well as the Korean War
tube type radios we had.
