With the recent string of cataclysmic disasters hitting the USA lately
and the complete collapse of the Verizon network due to a cyber attack, 
I have been thinking about how fragile the Internet is and how all BBS
activity could grind to a halt with little warning.

So I have been seriously thinking about starting a packet BBS. Packet BBS
uses shortwave but of course you still need electricity. A small
generator would be enough to run it from a laptop.

Packet BBS could be a great way to keep communities together in
times of disaster. My question is, do any of you have experience
with packet radio? If so, could you give me a few pointers? I
hardly know where to start, Thanks.

.... That's not a bug, it's an undocumented feature
