EMP & Electronic Gun Safe Locks

Great find Rastus!

I've save that for future reference.  I speed read about twenty pages already but I'm going to sit back and study that one later.

I just saved the PDF for future reference also.

Day 4 with no electricity for a lot of people due to the storms.  At least the power loss is spread around a bit and not just in one spot.  I'm wondering if the inner cities were hit with the loss or mostly suburbs & business.  I'm supposing there's no shortage of water or sewer services yet???

Still, after 4 days of no power in the summer nerves have to start getting frayed.

This power loss in the heat of summer is a good learning ground for a lot of people to consider how to address an EMP event.

I'm just saying....

Say how are those Chevy Volts working out with no recharging capabilities in the "affected" areas?

Probably not much worse than anything else since gas pumps run on electricity.
In fact, if there is a way to hook up a solar charger they may do better.

I think the Chevy Volt will run on gas only if the battery goes dead. The Nissan Leaf on the other hand is a dead duck without a method to recharge it. It is strictly battery powered.

I'm picking this up in an old thread because there is a lot of good information in it to go back and read.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-10-26/dod-plans-solar-storm-based-national-blackout-drill-during-antifa-protests-november

The Department of Defense is planning a drill to simulate an electrical blackout cause by a solar storm.  I think that's a cover for planning a drill for a North Korean EMP device (or future Iranian device).  Ham radio operators will be getting into the act for communications.  There's a letter posted in the article linked above.

In fact, after being pretty much kicked to the curb MARS (Military Auxiliary Radio System) has a renewed interest these days. 

Read the linked article but read or reread this thread.  A lot of good info in it.  We discussed a timeline for an EMP event in the thread...maybe time is getting close.

EMP is back in the news...there is a new report from the US Air Force, the 2018 ELECTROMAGNETIC DEFENSE TASK
FORCE: 

https://www.airuniversity.af.edu/Portals/10/AUPress/Papers/LP_0002_DeMaio_Electromagnetic_Defense_Task_Force.pdf

90% of the East Coast US population dead in 1 year.  99 nuke reactors would melt down.

I did switch to EMP proof gunsafe locks, by the way.

And now may not be a bad time to bring an EMP strike conversation up again?

So with what is going on in Ukraine and realizing we are getting a lot of opinion I have opted to store few things away in case there is an EMP attack. 

Shortwave transceiver, shortwave receiver, antenna analyzer, programming cables, solar battery chargers, etc.  One thing I realized is that even my thermometers are electronic so they went in the Faraday cage along with the BP machine, O2 sensor, etc.

Here's an update on EMP:  https://defconwarningsystem.com/digest/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Russia-EMP-Threat.pdf

I figure many if not all of the nuclear reactors we have will experience a meltdown.  If you live a little west of the Mississippi River you will have a litle less of this to worry about.

Switch to dial or EMP-proof electronic? And DIY or hire someone to do it?
