your “retreat” or safe area and, if you like, your entire house from an EMP attack unless you are in visual range of the discharge and you might still be OK if you spend enough money on a thorough protection system. Just be prepared to spend money! Installations such as a TV station don’t hesitate to spend $300,000 on a good system designed around Transtector when the chances of a one thousand foot tower being directly struck by a lightning bolt at least once during every passing lightning producing rain storm is close to 100% protecting millions of dollars of sensitive electronic broadcast equipment is money they don’t hesitate to spend.
The author owns such a tower on a Colorado mountain top protected by a Transtector system protecting expensive electronic equipment with many transistors knowing the tower has endured hundreds of direct strikes since its installation in 1995 without a single transistor ever being damaged. Would it survive a nearby (i.e. one mile) EMP bomb discharge? I doubt it. THAT is how devastating an EMP bomb can be. Everything that is electronic is destroyed as well as many electric devices (a radio is electronic while a toaster is electric). Basically, your home is TOTALLY unprotected and if you are, say, 50,000 feet right below where the discharge occurred NOTHING will protect all of your electronic equipment except perhaps as just described.
How would you know a very high powered burst or bursts of a microsecond in duration but of billions of volts in intensity just occurred (most likely out of line of sight)? You might feel a slight static tingle for a millisecond just as happens if you are too close to a lightning bolt but not hit. If an EMP discharge attack discharge has just occurred and you have a pace maker that is a “must always work on every beat” your heart stops and you die. If you are in a vehicle built since the early 70’s, it just quits. The headlights might work and it might “crank” but getting it restarted, sorry, the electronic ignition is fried and the vehicle is dead probably for good. If you are unlucky enough to be riding in an airplane, the plane loses all power and crashes as the pilot tries to glide to a landing but can’t even do that since all of his controls are electronically controlled so all planes just fall from the sky. Trains, busses, subways and all means of transportation that depend on electronics stop dead. Only people like the Mennonites might not notice anything different. The intent of the (evil!) mass murdering enemy that triggered the EMP bombs was to generate static pulses so strong that even the protections now in use by radio and TV stations in the most lightning prone state in the Union (Florida) are not adequate and all radio and TV stations go off the air probably permanently. Are there some stations that have extreme EMP protection supplied by the government? Let’s hope so! That information is classified.
Let’s assume they ALL go off the air. Let’s say all this happens at 2 PM on a weekday. You just finished lunch and using your laptop computer working from home. You wait for it to reboot but it won’t. You turn on a transistor radio but hear nothing, how odd! You try other battery powered radios and you hear no stations. This is very odd! If you were one of the smart people who had the foresight to buy this book you purchased at least two AM/FM/SW (short wave) radios that can be powered by battery, by a built-in crank and by solar cells you have means to find out what happened while no one else does (unless they also had an EMP protected short wave radio - read on). And you shielded them from an EMP burst.
The radio MUST have good shortwave reception. The nearest station still on the air might be the BBC in London. You’ll listen as the shaken announcer says “all contact has been lost with North America. Equipment picked up single strong sparks in that direction but no radiation is being shown leading
