For individual teams there would be walkie talkies with a minimum range of forty miles to talk with each other and the safe house . A cb radio for communicating with the teams and monitoring radio traffic to find out if there are any other survivors in my area and to determine if the military and goverment still exist after the outbreak . After the outbreak I would make my way to one of the half dozen or so am/fm radio stations in my area and "salvage" the broadcast equipment . In my area you can pick up fm stations up to fifty to seventy miles away and am stations can be heard hundreds of miles away during the day and even further away at night . So the am/fm broadcast gear would be invaluable in telling the other survivors that there is a place to come to where they will be safe from the horde . For the first few weeks I will remain silent on all communications until I have had time to properly get myself setup and prepared for any potential survivors or raiders and to ensure that I won't have to deal with any military or police coming in and trying to take over my setup since they already lost theirs . I will be monitoring the radio channels with the cb and the radio but I will be waiting a while before I start broadcasting my position to any other survivors .

Just think about the blackout in 2003 in the Northeastern US. If you didnt have a lan line you couldn't call anybody. Cells didn't work. I only knew 3 people with home phones including me, everybody else only had cells.

Sound drawing attention and all? Smoke is a yes, I've got quite a few smoke grenades for use in paintball stocked away in my cupboard, never know when you might use or sell them. As for communications through voice, try the old tin cans on a wire thing. Sounds silly but if you put one in your main defensive room and one or two going across the street to your neibours house or into a phone box (obviously after the infection kicks off (unless you're friends with your neibour and phone box =P)) that way any roaming survivors that may need help can be directed from the safety of your home, no power needed and no zombie attention drawn!

Hardly anyone has posted about it. i figured most communications would be done by leaving signs posting info for those passing by. Don't really see much need other than that. Kinda like in dawn of the dead. Whistles are a good idea, or maybe smoke. wow, it is really obvious how little most of us know about commo.

Amateur radio has been around for a hundred years, and perhaps in it's earliest days was done with "wireless telegraph" rather than voice, but you can be sure that amateurs were using voice from the first day that anyone was using voice.
