on. The broadcast tells you that the old government has been
dissolved. It tells you not to resist. It tells you to contact your
local police dept to turn in all your firearms and you will not be
harmed.
The internet goes down.
What do you do for real information? Shortwave? Pony express? Paul

few critical hours?

CB radio. TRUCKERS will pass along news along the hundreds of miles
each drives daily. The regime won't shut them down - as no trucking
means core urban Blue Nation starves from lack of food delivery and
runs out of power-generating coal, then comes the riots there.

Speaking as a former trucker, truckers also pass along bullshit, rumors, and
outright lies along with some accurate reporting. Come to think of it,
about the same as the internet, although a CB doesn't require basic
literacy.

There already are pirate FM transmitters. Its not hard to make one. You
mite need an outdoor TV antenna and cable to your radio.

several days. The situation is just too urgent, and too
emerging. That said, AM / FM radios may have some
information. Shortwave, well, if any useful information can
make it out of the country to some other transmitter.

We'll use sun and mirrors to relay messages.
Each neighborhood, each community around the nation will have
a team of communicators whose job will be to collect, send
and distribute communiques.
With succeeding generations will come a class of communicators

This must be planned for in advance, but a "backup" for the Internet
would be to go back to the old Dial up Bulletin Board Systems and
FidoNet, over the PTSN(Public Telephone Switched Network). Of course
the announcement may tell you to stay off the phones, and there may be
trouble getting connections the first few days, but FidoNet transfers
generally happened in the middle of the night when traffic is the
lightest and the long distance rates were the cheapest.

That's why I said "there may be trouble getting connections the first

Amateur Radio is another alternative, but the Government may ban amateur
radio operation like they did during World War II.

If you're suddenly limted to a few radio transmitters in the country,
there'd be no more reliable means of getting news out to a really large area
of the US...

shortwave station don't have any information to share.
The original question was how to get information with the
internet and phones down. Listen to out of country shortwave
stations, well, that's more news than I had before.
But, for me to get any information from shortwave, the info
has to make it out of the US to the other radio stations.

The US government does not "dissolve".

At this point, the US Constitution and all the laws that depend on it
no longer exist. Those people who were once in the US military still
have their skills and a fair chance of getting their hands on weapons.
Exactly /who/ is going to tell them otherwise?
And they are going to be very unhappy.
In addition, the US currency (fiat money) is going to lose nearly all
it's value. Just exactly /what/ is the new regime going to pay the
goons enforcing the new edicts? Where is the new regime going to get
it's money from? Taxes?

They are called heliographers. Heliography was a primarily military
communications technology that was well developed by the mid to late
19th century. Pretty cool stuff.

No night time talk shows???

Have you never actually listened to shortwave?... (Hmm.. Or are you outside
the US, maybe?)
A large percentage of it's American broadcasters.. And a very large
percentage of that's religion and "right wing wackos"... Which kinda fits
with the original question, I guess.
The reception usually kinda s*cks, but you can normally get more American
news (vs talk-show) programming from shortwave than AM or FM, even without
some sort of nuclear attack.

CY: Cause if the information net shuts down, the information
won't make it to the broadcasters. Didn't I write that,
already?
Have you never actually listened to shortwave?... (Hmm.. Or

CY: I've only listened for a few seconds to say "Oh, yeah,
it's working". I'm in NYS, USA.
A large percentage of it's American broadcasters.. And a
very large
percentage of that's religion and "right wing wackos"...
Which kinda fits
with the original question, I guess.
CY: So, how does right wing whackos relate to the original
question "how will you get your information"?
The reception usually kinda s*cks, but you can normally get
more American
news (vs talk-show) programming from shortwave than AM or
FM, even without

CY: And when the internet shuts down, and the phones are
shut down, how do you think the broadcasters will get
information?

I'd suggest you get a decent receiver, an efficient antenna, and a copy of
Monitoring Times for the schedules. Unlike the US stations like WWCR, the
foreign broadcasters aren't up 24/7.

Shortwave would be the idea form of communication for getting news quickly
to large parts of the country,..
but just look at what always happens in small areas of the country when
phones, electricity, etc. goes out due to storms or whatever..
Radio communications (mostly ham-radio) takes over tasks normally done by
other means so that news, emergency, etc communications gets thru. People
don't just "sit in the dark" wondering what's going on in the rest of the
world when the internet goes out.

You cut-n-pasted my post in an attempt to make it look as if I was on the
exact opposite side of the argument, or somethng...
Like the very first line you pasted from my post.. "Why?" wasn't asking
"Why listen to shortwave?"...
Or the very last one... While attempting to twist my position again, you
simply repeated what I had said.. Shortwave doesn't make for the best
listening experience when you've all the other forms available now, but it
could be the most reliable.

Perhaps if you didn't top post this sort of thing would happen to you.

previous posts (quotes) to get to the reply with so-called bottom-posts,
especially if there's several posts and you have to do it with each-n-every
one of 'em.... If you haven't, and it's top-posted, occasionally scrolling
down to read the replied-to post isn't that difficult..... Which I find I
do much less so, btw...
MOST of the time, such critism is simply someone's dislike of seeing
something done differently than they do it. Nothing more. And there's a
word for that, doncha know?
