      I was wondering if I should get into this. I’m more interested because it seems cool and I need some kind of backup means of communications in case communication is down or something

        Sure, give it a go. The bands and the learning you get access to as a ham are a valuable tool.

        But don’t be that kind that gets a licence just for ‘prepping’.

        Having the gear without being proficient in it’s use or having someone to talk to is pretty useless.
