You have come to a very strange place. Hopefully it is a pre-need visit. Who knows how soon after a nuclear war this page will be able to be updated -- or if it will even still be here. But - here we are now, putting the structure into place. After a nuclear war we hope that this page will have many contacts for your area along with specialists for agriculture and other needs.

This New Jersey web page is still under development. The New Jersey website is presently stored on a central server but Ark Two hopes to eventually have the New Jersey SAFE website with all the information specific to New Jersey mirrored on a server physically located in New Jersey so that should a catastrophe happen elsewhere that disrupts the central server - this information will still be available in New Jersey if its server is functioning.
As this page is further developed we intend to show all the reconstruction resources that we can identify for New Jersey.

Ark Two on HAM Radio AFTER the Catastrophe Ark Two will monitor the band (note singular) appropriate to propagation conditions at the time. 80/75 meters LSB (LSB = Lower Sideband; the world standard) If possible, Ark Two will TX an SSB or CW beacon on an appropriate band so others can find us. We will ID as ARK TWO. Reply on beacon frequency in SSB or CW when our carrier drops.
40 meter LSB Generally, 40 meters is a good daytime band until perhaps 4PM, and then 75 meters picks up. 20 meters is a long-range band used for long haul, and counts on bouncing off the ionosphere and reflecting back, as does most amateur communication. The operator must understand propagation and skip, the factors that affect them, and know how to select the proper band based on numerous factors. 10 meters and 15 meters are the bands most affected by the eleven-year sunspot cycle. We are about 18 months from the bottom of the cycle, which is the most difficult times, in about 6 years we'll be at the peak of the next cycle, and the higher frequency bands will work. Now it's very rare to be able to make other than very local contacts on 10 and 15 meters, and this will only get worse until the sunspot cycle picks up. When it does get near peak, though, small amounts of power can talk around the world with simple antennas. The above are the type of reasons that we are mentioning "appropriate to propagation conditions". There may be other conditions caused by EMP, widespread nuclear activity, and earth changes. Whatever, we will be looking for people calling the tactical sign ARK TWO, and the call sign that we respond with will depend upon which of our HAM radio operators are present - providing that is relevant.
