Hello

This is my first post here and saw a Ham related question and thought I might answer it, sort of. Being a Army MARS OP I personally would be on a military freq. But to answer your question there are portions of each band that are "calling freqs" so It would make a difference whether it was local or Inter-national you were needing. You would have the option of using any band/freq combination. I know that danced around the question more than answered it but yes this would be something that should be determined before the shtf. Locally you might be using the 2 meter band and long range you might need the 80 meter band for an example. No answer here but your individual needs should be addressed prior to the actual needs, you are on the right track. Did I muddy up the water even further? Sorry if I did.

The ARES and other groups are there for Emergency OPs. If you aren't a member of a local/state/national group it might be a good place to start.
