Off Grid ham radio is a necessary tool for critical comms in a variety of emergency scenarios. JS8Call and VARAC merge off grid comms with asynchronous data messaging, for a much more reliable off grid comms solution.
Normally, ham radio is used to contact DX stations around the globe. An amateur HF radio and antenna can also be used for emergency communications, off-grid communications, and preparedness. Whether operating from home or portable, using solar power or connected to the grid, your QRP or QRO station can do things you might not have imagined. JS8Call, VarAC, and Winlink, can tranform a normal ham radio station, into a life saving one.
