Quoting: Hamburgerwagon The Deep State could just bring down the grid rendering the EAS system useless. Don't get mad at me, I'm just playing along in the What If scenarios. Radio and TV stations all have backup batteries, auto-starting generators, and auto-switchover for all of it. |

Or whoever hacked the DOE computers in the SolarWind hack. Talk about nation-wide panic! So few are ready for that... TANSTAAFL - There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch |

I worked as a TV station engineer for over 10 years and I can say it will be hit and miss. Our main transmitter (over the air) had zero backup. |

How would the EAS work with no electric? I mean, if you believe this EAS is going to happen, you have to figure they would stop at nothing to stop it. TV? What's that? Oh, now I remember. Had one 12 years ago. Grid-off does not mean no electricity for telecom. SMS will work just fine. |

Quoting: Crazy Chicken Lady What about after they loose or are about to loose the narrative? Whats there next move? Give up? That is why they are silencing opposition. Simply take out alternative news and make them unable to communicate, and they regain control of information. The best stories are told by the survivors. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77907821 United States 01/19/2021 12:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a little known fact that cell phones have an FM receiver in them. My guess is that, along with handheld radios, would be sufficient to share the necessary information as a last line of communication. [link to www.makeuseof.com (secure)] |
