One thing I wonder about is if major events were taking place throughout the country would the people caught up know stuff was happening in other areas? I mean, if power/communications are down and they are just struggling to survive their situation they may not have access to information about the rest of the country. Hmm, kind of like the situation in the TV show Jericho.

This leads me to wonder about the effectiveness of a crystal radio set. Would they be affected by EMP? Does anyone have any feedback on the how well they work in general (tuning, clarity, etc...)
