The Black Sky Event

This video presents a discussion of potential threats to the national power grid. While (as the video points out) a national level EMP is a very low-probability event, it is also an event with very high consequences if it was to happen.

TARGETING THE ELECTRIC GRID

Through June 1st [2022] you can sign up to watch this 20 minute episode for free. After that the video will be available for purchase.

The Black Sky Event docuseries examines the possibilities, if not probabilities, of our national energy grid going down, leaving us in perpetual darkness. Modern infrastructure is so interdependent and vulnerable that the electric power grid has become the Achilles’ heel of our nations’ security.

The series illustrates four likely threats that could take out the grid: Solar Flare, Cyber Attack, Physical Attack and EMP. An EMP is an air burst nuclear weapon, which would send out an electromagnetic pulse that would fry all electronics in its wake. Cars, phones and refrigerators would stop working. Planes would fall out of the sky.

Our free and open society has led us to build a connected network of distinct but interlinked power companies. It is the highest value soft target for a determined enemy. A cyber or nuclear attack by one of many foreign adversaries would be an attack we are not ready to face. These plans are already in the hands of our enemies and the details of our vulnerabilities are not a secret.

A natural solar flare has already taken place. It occurred in the 1800’s and took out the nascent electrical system then in place. The next one would do the same, but with everything now running on electricity, the result will be devastating to humanity.

We traveled the country to interview many of the top advocates for grid down preparation, including the former head of the CIA, military generals, civilian technical experts and government sector authorities. These experts have answers to how we fortify our systems against a grid down scenario. Compiling the latest declassified information, this film takes a hard look at the risks facing the nation. More than twenty experts share the same message they have tried valiantly to share with Congress in a desperate attempt to get lawmakers to act.

The Black Sky Event is the documentary series everyone needs to see, so they can prepare themselves for the greatest external danger facing our nation today.

If no action is taken to protect our grid, it very well could be the end of civilization as we know it.

The Facts About Radio Communication Distance

-

What’s the range for a radio to communicate with someone? How many miles? This is almost the most common question people ask before getting a new two-way radio. But if you check the answers for the same radio, you may find many disappointed people saying that only 0.5 mile, but also some saying 3 miles, 5 miles, and so on. Why they're so different? Because the type of terrain and equipment can greatly affect the talking range. You often see ads for two-way radios saying "up to 36 miles" or more. Here the keyword in the advertisement are "up to". This maximum range is more theoretical than realistic. So how far can you really expect to talk? The key considerations that affect range are: signal type, antenna, obstructions, and signal strength (wattage). No single factor is a silver-bullet to extend your communication range. But taken in combination, they can mean the difference between getting 1/2 mile range, vs 6 miles or more. This article from Baofeng discusses

What Gets Destroyed in an EMP (And How to Protect)

EMP is a low-probability threat, but one with potentially high consequences should it occur. Dr. Arthur Bradley, a recognized expert in EMPs, their effects and how to protect against them, has a video where he offers suggestions on how to protect against an EMP. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNBj3nkVqEQ Dr. Bradley's recommendations are based on his research and would seem to offer a reasonable degree of protection against EMP... unlike some suggestions we see in "prepper" groups suggesting such things as using a microwave oven as a Faraday cage. There is a common misconception that a microwave oven is a Faraday cage. It is not. Not even a close approximation. Go in your kitchen and open the door of your microwave. Look at the mating surfaces between the door and oven. There is no bare conductive metal at all, usually power coated sheet metal or plastic on both surfaces. It is essentially *wide open* from an RF perspective except right at 2.4GHz. Attenuation at 2.4GHz
