Coverage of earth by earth sensing satellites in visible spectrum is so high, that you can literally write different message into sand / earth every hour. No radio construction necessary XD

The biggest flaw of all prepper radio lists is that they do not contain knowledge about how easy it is to locate a radio transmitter. Every radio user should do at least one "radio fox hunt" to understand how to locate other people and / or how easy it is to be located.
You can do that even with radios on this list, no special equipment needed.

This push is so strong even Steve Jobs started to Think Different after cloning BSD in 199x...

COMPILERS - just use LLVM.
Why do we need 900 different compilers ? We can have every architecture, programming language covered. Less human resource wasted. Experiments and new approaches can be tried inside LLVM too.
