Some of the Generators are gas/fuel efficient.  I don't have my books with me right now.  What about using car batteries as Terri suggested?  Do Ham radios use a lot of electricity?  I know the CB Radios can operate off car batteries.  C Crane company offers hand crank radios but not sure if they will transmit like a CB Radio/Ham radio.  I'll have to get back to you on fuel efficient generators when I can lay my hands on my reference books.

Hollyweed - CB Radios are limited in the range of miles they can go.  If our Truckers can transmit info on their CB's and relay the info via other Truckers from area to area that would work - albeit not the most efficient way - but it could work.
