Try living in a Hurricane and Tornado prone area. You get all the

I've got a friend in canada with her HAM license, she uses it in part for

You got it when worse comes to worse (which it does every so often,
especially when you least expect it) the low tech options seem to

My friend has a shortwave base station that has worked for years. It's
the best first responder emergency radio system. Shortwave operators
gave reports during Katrina and 9/11 when nobody else could get through.
Shortwave probably will die when BPL comes online. Too bad. There's
