And just why would only CW radios survive?? This is news - EMP will ONLY
take out SSB/FM/AM radios!!

As usual Mal lives in his own little world.

A recent newspaper report indicates a certain country building up its
ability to ZAP all appliance communications systems ie Satellite and
Internet systems.
and do not forget SATNAV systems.
Bring back Loran and associated nav systems for dependibility with some
national control.
That leaves the average radio amateur appliance operator out of the comms
business.
Those CW operators with real radios and ability to operate them will be the
only source of communications in the end.
Govt agencies also take notice. Real radio amateurs with basic CW and RF
skills should be encouraged.
Some might critize these observations but BEWARE
I have heard stories of ships with the latest communications appliance
devices being unable to contact shore stations and only managed because some
senior  staff qualified radio officers on board took over using CW. This
could be the reason why some govt agencies are reluctant to release the 500
khz CW band and mothballed some costal stations, in fact some ships are
still equipped with MF/HF equipment as well as Sat systems.
