FYI

 I know less than nothing about ham radio but today I got an advertisement that might interest you. Ham radio starter set and repeater set.

If you need a second magazine, its time to call in air support.

God created Man, Col. Sam Colt made him equal, John Moses Browning turned equality to perfection, Gaston Glock turned perfection into plastic fantastic junk.

Mmmmm. Not discourage ANYBODY from getting a ham radio BUT. A Bafeng VHF/UHF HT (Hand held/Handie Talkie) would only run you $35-. Add a power amp ($40-) to that HT's 5 watts you could get as much as 50 watts. Add a homebrew antenna ~ $10. You could have a great doomsday system for $85-. Put it all in a small plastic case like a ammo case and you are set.

The secret is to practice with your setup BEFORE the SHTF. To do that you will need a Technicians license.

Buy the ARRL book, read it and study the questions (in the back of the text book), Take the test and VIOLA! You can use that Bafeng and practice. 
Keep abreast of J6 arrestees at https://americangulag.org/ Donate if you can for their defense.
