It also has info on what they are and how they mess up electronics. www.futurescience.com/emp/emp-protection.html

thanks, i've sent that to others.

I haven't read through the whole thing but...... microwaves are faraday cages too.

also...anything that would have an electronic start won't work, including most watches etc, so have a hand wind clock of some sort.

have matches and candles/oil lamps. also glow sticks.

Not because the signal could be i.d.'d or tampered with, as a computer, but because transistors would be fried by an EMP, but tubes would not.
