[TowerTalk] noise profiles...

[Roger (K8RI) on TT]

Maybe for you, but not for me.
I hope it never happens and at my age, there is little sense in preparing
.
The two most important needs when society melts down whether caused by a 
CME, or a disaster  whether natural, or man made are food and staying 
alive, unnoticed. Neither are simple, whether in place, or Bug-Out.  I 
know several and that's what they preach. If lucky, they'll only be back 
to 19th century living.
A direct hit from a CME and the electrical grid will be down fore many 
months, if not a year or two..  It happened in the 1800s and the 
telegraph lines were hot. Fortunately they didn't depend on electricity 
to stay alive.

Eventually, after it becomes somewhat safe to be noticed,  it will 
become a time for QRP and CW. IOW, basic communications.  A time to know 
enough electronics to build a simple SS CW transmitter. Receivers?

You won't be putting out a signal except maybe right at first, then it 
will be wait until you are no longer worried about being found. No 
repeater, no telephones, no electricity from the power co, no water, and 
no gas for the house or car.

Off the grid and off the RADAR.
