UPDATED: Holy Shit, Big Explosion in Arctic!

you are beautiful

No way... That's a pretty big deal if true.

Its a radio that only plays jokes! Kinda like this thread

Uncle fucking retard story.

An EMP woulda taken out the sat phone too .

Stop that. You'll have 333 over here in a minute..

Awe...too bad, now YOU'RE going to have to be the receiver in some sadistic sexual perversion

I would like to visit as a civy. As if the military would let me.

theres a big UFO war going on there so not surprised

A high altitude burst designed to be line of sight to a entire country perhaps.. but residual pulse from a surface burst would only cause a temporary disruption, not fry the electronics.

And if it was a specific EMP profiled detonation, we would be getting threads about EAM's and missing flights..

Those weapons were always tested at the Pacific proving grounds to be sure not to knock out friendly equipment.. The Russians choose the deserts. I vote for a bolide impact or BS flag..

Same here

I am a civilian and have spend far too much time at bot Fort Resolute and Alert. you just have to have a reason to be there otherwise the military doesn't care too much., Bases are a far different story, and old DEW-line stations.

The problem with EMP is that its been used as a plot device in Hollywood for decades now and everyone thinks it takes out all electronics. It doesn't. Your caar and cell phone and ipad are going to be just fine. The power grid and stuff hooked up to it are susceptible just like a lightening strike. And sensitive front ends like dish and HF antennas could be wiped. There will be a lot of car alarms triggered.

In Starfish Prime which was a one megaton high altitude burst it set off some burglar alarms in Hawaii and took down some of the power grid and thats it.

It fries satelllites beause it ionizes the upper atmosphere and pumps up the Van Allen belts with protons and electrons. Thats probably the most dangerous effect. he Iridiums would probably crap within a couple of weeks along with all spysats. Most of the GPS constellation would make it through. Don't know how the commercial comsats would fare but one analysis said they would all be wiped if not shielded by the earth.

I truly hope you are joking otherwise your tinfoil is too tight. Time to loosen it up.

I am listening to a russian station on 20 meters on my TS-590 HF rig right now

there are stations all over the world on HF, and none talking about anything out of the norm... doom off

My uncle told me the polar bears have developed a taste for flash-frozen alien...

thats beautiful man. another psychoturd outed.

FFS!

Did this shit happen or not? Pages and pages of total crap with no answers.

Other than what I am told, I have no idea...

The answer is 42.
