DAV mentioned Michael J. Panzner’s Financial Armageddon blog. I was pleased to see that Michael is really digging ito the current liquidity crisis and astutely focusing on derivatives. (That will surely be “the other shoe to drop.” ) I was also delighted to see that he has a link to SurvivalBlog in his blog roll.

Reader Jeff S. mentioned the QRPme.com web site. Jeff’s comment: “Having a QRP transmitter and receiver stashed away, in cans, for under $50 can’t be a bad thing, eh? Admittedly, you’re looking at “some assembly required”, but I suspect they’re EMP proof as all get out.” My comment: Yes, they’d be relatively EMP proof if they have no antenna attached. But once one is, then the microcircuits would surely be vulnerable.
