The number one reason a radio check fails is there is no one at the other station even listening to you. Number two reason is the other station doesn’t even have their antenna plugged in. It’s wildly frustrating.
That's why in my prepper community, I encourage regular use and practice. Not just with comms but with other aspects like security, food preps and storage, water purification, etc.
And also having a community in the first place would be helpful, whether they are your amateur club, fellow preppers or even your own family members who are into having the ability to communicate when the grid goes down.
In prepping, our toools are not just stuff to be stored and forgotten only to be brought out when SHTF. They need to be used and skills need to be sharpened.
