[/quote] First of all, this thread wasn't started by GM. It would be a place where GLP-ers could connect on HF - which is one of the few means of long distance communication in this scenario. If out of the thousands of GLP posters, ten had transmission rigs like this, a rough idea of what is going on in this event could be pieced together and broadcast. [/quote]

The question that has been kicked around on various threads is what if the GLP effect fails? How do we get the juicy info if it all goes sideways?
One way to do this is with HF radio on the 20 meter band using 50 watts, using a text mode called Hellschreiber - also called Feld-Hell.
Here's an introduction to this mode:

The idea would be to have a master station receiving at 20 meters throughout the day. 8 am CST to 7 pm seems to be the best for radio propagation at this frequency.
PRIMARY: 14.064 Mhz
SECONDARY: 14.075 Mhz
TERTIARY: 14.077 Mhz

Every day, say at 5 pm CST, a digest of all the field reports received with Feld-Hell would be retransmitted several times via CW. Then the master station goes into receive mode.
You wouldn't need a transmitter to get these reports. A HF receiver like a Grundig could receive the transmission, and a laptop with free Hellscheiber decoding software would display the daily digest.
You can download the software here:

And radio-computer hookup information is here:

Alternatively, a computer with an external microphone could conceivably receive the transmission by simply putting the microphone near the radio's speaker - no splicing wires would be needed.
