  If the national electrical grid and 80% of the broadcasters are gone,
several high-powered AM stations is a decent doomsday plan.  You might even
get good reception on the AM band again.

Hey gang ....

Pick up a copy of the last edition of Discovery Magazine - There is a piece
about just how fragile the power grid is - 

Out this way we are doing a lot of planning for the eventual Cascade
Subduction Zone earthquake (Google Cascadia Rising to see what we are up
to).   

The bottom line - We are very poorly prepared for a disaster of the
magnitude of these events.   Their cost in terms of infrastructure and lives
lost will make Sandy, Katrina etc mini-events.
