Show Notes
In a bomb shelter, silence isn't golden—it's dangerous. This episode explores the engineering paradox of modern missile defense paired with outdated data infrastructure. We break down why concrete acts as a signal graveyard and how simple tech like SMS, travel routers, and LoRa mesh networks can restore a lifeline to those trapped in the dark. From physics to DIY fixes, discover how to bridge the last fifty feet of connectivity.
