Ok, so does it follow the ionosphere like AM, or travel line of sight like
FM.
I had read some ware that the logic in not protecting the electronics in war
planes better was that if they were close enough for effect the pilot would
take enough damage that the plane was the lest of the worries, (used to keep
a file, wish i still had it).
Another reference came in was that the Migs had relatively simple
electronics and the DoD was not sure why until they figured out that the
"simpler" electronics were less vulnerable to EMP.
Anyone know how wide the bandwidth of EMP is?

Rikk,
Nuclear EMP (NEMP) is definitely NOT a localized phenomenon. To some
extent it depends on the altitude of the air burst and, of course, the
weapon's energy yield. In fact, the NEMP effect can be mirrored on the
opposite side of the world, depending on conditions.
Sorry I can't discuss actual yields, frequencies or energy levels, but
you could probably find that info on the Web or even in your local
library.
