This video shows a simple wire dipole tuned for 27.5 MHz and supported by a carbon fibre fishing pole being used for CB Radio Emergency Communications suitable for a Grid Down scenario.

Examples of a potential Grid Down scenario include (but are not limited to):
Storm
Flood
Solar Flare
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP)
