Its noticeable when tuning around these bands the re emergence of stations exchanging reports and sending long coded 5 letter group messages mostly at hand sent speed but others automatic, some are using the cyrillic alphabet.

Someone obviously being prepared in the event of a big BANG and maybe using valve/tube devices which are more robust.

It could be back to basics quicker than you think. Learn how to make a RX out of a piece of fence wire, toilet roll, and razor blade detecter/pedal cycle alternator for power/basic 6v6 osc/pa for tx, and most important be able to send CW by touching two bits of wire together.

Indians are also in with a good chance, I expect they still know how to send smoke signals!!!
