Well I agree with original poster Roger K1VB
It would be wonderful to build an all-tube transceiver with SSB and CW capabilities; I'd love to do that. Just don't expect me to produce a kit for it! Or do it any time soon (not a trivial project!).?

Well mate ,,? with all that? EMP blast you 'd be? better off with lead line underwear so your essential parts don't become useless like the hypothetical? Semicoductor issue.
For? a? Prepper radio that could stand a Hiroshima level bomb? 7 km away ,? look up on of the myriad? 6T9 or? 12 AE 10 single tube? 7 W? valve transmitters that infest the internet.? You'd have to? coordinate the crystal frequencies with your other? doomsday preppers though.? you could? go for a? version of the? Taurus? 3362 based receiver (40 mtr version)? and have quality superhet Rx to match it? $26 as a kit from India? ( but where you get your latter filter xtals from is a worry as nobody sells filter sets these days ) that? could go in a little tin lined box with steel shielding outside .
Even if you are succumbing? to lethal doses of? Gamma radiation? ,as you pass out it will be a comforting thought that your glass and lead transceiver will be working long after you have passed on.? HOld that thought - Getting mains power for the Tx? after the Big one drops on you might be a bit of an ask.? Solar panels of course will be hit by your proposed EMP pulse.
Diplomacy sounds the best option but? cans of? baked beans and dried seeds in lead lined rappers are a back up.?

Trust But Verify.
? Namely Verify that Donno is not doing the diplomacy by himself I think.? (as Sleepy Joe walks off the stage in to oblivion).?
