No HAM operators don't rely on repeaters to cover those great distances. The problem with a major EMP is nothing electronic is going to work unless it was stored in a shielded environment at the time of the event.
Think about that for a minute! even generators and solar cells have electronic regulators.
So if the equipment still works ,and you can power it, Hams will still be able to communicate.
