HAMS would be good I agree but also on a SHTF situation the average person if any will be trying to broadcast for help on standard CB bands .... I think possibly another solution is to have a Nextel or I guess they are Sprint now PTT Phones ... that way range isn't an option for an initial coordination per sector or possibly state wide ... Granted they will not work forever in a SHTF as computerized billing and things like that will probably take affect on top of that as well as once Basic services shut down like power plants and things like that ...
