Proper Dooooom! The Sky is Falling!

NASA sounds red alert over solar flare that nearly wiped out human civilization two summers ago - NaturalNews.com

All gone in an instant!

Nothing with a chip in it will work!

Riots in the streets!



I'm not altogether sure why everything electronic gets zapped.

Stuff connected to networks such as the mains and telephone, yes, but everything?

Must be one hell of an EMP for that.

Thank heavens for my Murphy B40 and Racal RA17 receivers.

They're stuffed full of valves.

Sadly, no 'lectrick to make them work though.

Ho hum.

Maybe I'd better do some work on that battery powered portable wireless I bought off ebay.

Then again, maybe a CME isn't such a bad thing:

All the skills of the Information Age become instantly useless once a massive solar flare wipes out the electronics.

Gulp.

Everyone round to zeity's - he knows how to grow cabbage

[mudskipper]

Oh well.

Gulp.

Everyone round to zeity's - he knows how to grow cabbage

He can't cook it though, so we're still f***ed, and not in a good way

Um, Zeity? Who's going to be broadcasting?

[xoggoth]

I was going to do a thread on this one but then couldn't be arsed as Zeity was bound to do it for me. Thanks boy. Now make me a toasted cheese sandwich.

PS Old battery AM radios make great wire detectors.

[Bunk]

Probably someone with a valve transmitter.

It's you isn't it? You're going to be the only one broadcasting and the only one listening

[EternalOptimist]

Probably someone with a valve transmitter.

It would be great listening to all those old programmes again.

It would be great listening to all those old programmes again

Probably lots of space aliens 60 light years away listening to Hancock's Half Hour.

Valve transmitters are very easy to make.

And I've got a shedload (literally) of valves to do it with.

Maybe I'd better get started, so I'm ahead of the game & don't need to use a poke heated on an open fire as a soldering iron.

Can you make a valve record player so that you've something to play over the air too please?

I'm assuming that would be easier than a valve MP3 player?
