>>9834646Packet Radio slow???
Last time I checked typical rates are 1k2 on HF or on VHF or even 9k6.
There is a 300 baud mode but it can go faster than that.
Also see
>>9834644In a SHTF event basic text communication and simple data transfer are important.
List of people, abilities, resources, problems.
List of communication nodes or important locations.
News or Information about procedures.
A Packet Radio Node would be good for storing and forwarding messages or retrieving documents.
But you're not going to send nudes over that network.
Ok yes you can use SSTV for that ...
Other Idea:
as there are 40 channels on CB radio there could be some broadcast channels that transmit important info over and over again as voice or RTTY and images as SSTV.
