Danny, Would you agree that it is about 2 weeks to 5 WPM and another 4 weeks to 20 WPM if your are really working on it, say in Monterey?

Yeah,. I understand that Hans, but not only we, but the enemy are going to 
e in the same shape, as far as satellite communications is concerned.  Im 
ooking at this as a setback to communications, and in fact is the big one 
its (solar storm - EMPs) even so-called hardened equipment is going to be 
ostly useless- because you will have little if any long range propagation. 
his is not a likely event, but is possible.  At that point, I believe hf 
ropagation would be the first to return, but we best have the hardened 
quipment to work with it then, and CW is likely to be the best mode, at the 
irst.  Ive been off the clock for almost 12 years now, so havent kept up 
ith the most modern equipment/facilities/modes, but in my experience with 
he nuclear testing back in the 60s-70s and observations of the hf bands 
hen, I cant see that anything else will be able to do that command job. 
omething as simple as PSK just might work, but I see it dropping in and out 
nder even todays propagaion conditions.   At that point, all the surface 
ounted data collectors/streams would probably be out anyway.

 Not actually, Dan.

 Yes, of course, there are still messages drafted by humans and read by 
 human
 eyes, but human-readable traffic comprises only a minor share of the
 communications load.

 Most of the "activity" on modern Navy communications channels is data
 streams between "machines" --- google "Aegis"  --- then imagine that 
 system
 integrated across an entire battle group where several ships (and their
 aircraft) share all threat, targeting, countermeasures, and weapon 
 response
 data in real time, untouched by human "operators".
