Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued two actions to protect public health by addressing per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in drinking water, highlighting the agency’s commitment to address these long-lasting “forever chemicals” that can enter drinking water supplies and impact communities across the United States. The Biden-Harris administration is committed to addressing PFAS in the nation’s drinking water and will build on these actions by advancing science and using the agency’s authorities to protect public health and the environment.
Additionally, the proposed UCMR 5 would provide new data that is critically needed to improve EPA’s understanding of the frequency that 29 PFAS are found in the nation’s drinking water systems and at what levels.

Noice catch! Now... Now, I wonder if it's possible to reverse engineer my bedside radio to transmit as well as receive...
I tried to hot-wire my pigeon to be faster. That was some good eats, but it did nothing for message sending/receiving. I'm looking at a Xiegu G90 or an Icom ID-5100A. Both are really capable units, can operate at low power, and most importantly don't cost an arm and a leg like the Icom 705.
My old Kenwood I have right now works no matter what you do to it, but just can't do the interface like the newer units can. Hey your in England, can't you just get surplus Military Radios on the cheep still?

I can tell you, from experience, you can communicate with someone on the other side of the globe, at solar minimums, with less than 5W of power using an appropriate digital mode. And that's with the signal being down in the noise. If a SHTF, global-style-shutdown occurred, battery/solar operated QRP stations would be worth their weight in gold.
Think about how the Rothschild's made their fortune. If the world had HF digi modes then, or anything more advanced than human messengers and carrier pigeons, would the Rothschild's have succeeded in hoodwinking the market in London? Doubtful.
Some will scoff, but information is power. If the information superhighway was gone and you needed/wanted to find out what was going on anywhere from several hours to half the world away, there simply isn't anything more viable. Alas, it seems to be a dying hobby.

"Not when their false beliefs negatively impact my actual health."
That's exactly what I was told by a leftest when I said vaccines should never be forced.
That type of thinking takes freedoms it does not respect them.
