We're probably covering 1% of the world events when we conduct these briefings, so please remember that if we left it out, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's unimportant. Also, remember that we do these briefings quite often, so we might have covered an issue previously that you might not see if you are only watching our most recent videos. We're also doing this in our spare time, so again we fully admit that these briefings aren't even close to being perfect; we're going for a healthy blend of speed and quality. If we were to wait and only post a brief when it's "perfect" we would never post anything at all. So expect some minor errors on the slides here and there. If there is a major error or correction that needs to be made, we will post it here in the description, and verbally address it in the next briefing, whenever that is. We do not have a set schedule for when these videos are published...when we get enough info that we think is worth it, we brief it. If we were bound to a schedule we would be obligated to provide fluff for the days where there isn't anything worth commenting on. Also, thanks for reading this far. It is always surprising the number of people that don't actually read the description box to find more information.

Hey everyone, here's the result of our first book club choice; as many of you pointed out this was a great choice to start with. I don't know if we're going to be able to be this in-depth with other books, so this format will probably change over time. Gotta start somewhere though, and I think this is a great way to deep dive into some of the history that is becoming important to understand a bit more clearly.

Hey everyone, just a quick and dirty rundown of the Wire reports we've been doing, as well as the future capabilities something like this has. Right now, radio is largely about the technology itself, and not about the content on it. The ability to share information via radio is important, but we can't just focus on that ability, we have to provide the information itself. Stuff like this is an attempt to offer quality, helpful information in a way that makes daily radio usage not just possible, but actually preferrable. Provide the content, and they will come, so to speak. As great as emergency preparedness is, we want to get out of the mindset of the weekly comm check, and actually lean on reliable technology every day. Because if there's one thing that's certain, we're living in a constant state of emergency every day now, and the existing radio agencies/nets/entities are not remaining relevant in this 5GW world.

Our Telegram channel for these reports is: @S2UndergroundWire
