Dont feel bad, all our hamfests around here have been cancelled too, Lawrenceville Ga. had theirs but the covid restrictions they required made it impossible to go to.NM Hamfest cancelled two years in a row? That's ridiculous.

Best to move to one of Jupiter's moons.that is beyond anyones control,,,,it will take out everything,,,I don't think we can prep for that,,,,
Yes, I know one of them, W8RO. He has done many videos for the Collins Collectors Society.There's people who have FAR more than my measly little stash.
Our swaps have been going strong for the past year, without restrictions.Dont feel bad, all our hamfests around here have been cancelled too, Lawrenceville Ga. had theirs but the covid restrictions they required made it impossible to go to.
Found some info fom the Navy regarding your question:Do you know why the Navy/Marine Corps ended their M.A.R.S. program?
It's not. The only way it could be affected is if it has a solid state controller like most big lithium batteries do.How is a car battery affected by an EMP?
I very much doubt that the battery would explode.now will it explode the battery that a question I cannot answer and that's the battery is protected somehow someway
That was from the E3 component. Only long circuits like power lines and pipelines are affected by the E3 component. A car battery is not connected to any circuits long enough unless it's on a charger plugged into the wall.I wondered about batteries exploding. During the starfish test of a high altitude nuke in the early 1960's, transformers in Hawai'i supposedly caught fire, and some exploded.
The Carrington Event in the 1860's supposedly electricuted a few telegraph operators.
I'm not enough of an engineer or physicist to figure out if batteries will explode, but it does sound plausible.

Thank you.To be precise, a solid metal container is a "Faraday Shield" not a "Faraday Cage." The more conductive the metal, the better. A Faraday Cage has holes, either perforated holes or gaps in a metal mesh. A Faraday Shield can block a wider range of frequencies than a Faraday Cage, which is usually designed for blocking certain frequency ranges.
If you use a metal trash can as a Faraday Shield, you should use inner shielding as well, such as three layers of heavy duty aluminum foil. The contents should be insulated from the foil, and the foil should be insulated from the outer metal container. A layer of cardboard between the insulation and the conducting materials will keep sharp corners from accidentally poking through the insulation and touching the conductive surface. Grounding the outer container can prevent build up of static charges on the container.
It is my understanding that a Solar EMP caused by a Carrington Event, or coronal mass ejection (CME) only contains an E3 component, not E1 or E2. The Faraday Shield is for E1 and E2. All you need for E3 is isolation from long metal circuits like the power lines or metal pipelines.
