Faraday cage (easy enough to make) around radios will protect them from EMP. They should then be able to reach other radios likewise protected... I'd think.

or a galvanized steel garbage can with your electronics sealed in a heavy plastic bag, or one of those metalized ziplock bags for food storage with a regular ziplock inside of that , or just stored underground (and no your basement doesn't count).

that's an entire new topic and we' would have to rely on other people's guesses as I don't see how this can be tested at home. I've also heard/read that packing them up in aluminum foil would work too. It better work cause that's my plan for now. 😀

A radio will not work if it is inside a farady cage, either to send or recieve. The whole idea is to insulate it from outside electromagnetic sources and that is what readio waves are.

yes, they will only be insulated during the period of time the flare will hit earth, after that they will get out and put to use. If they still work. And if you still have power. At least that's the plan.
