We need to learn of local ham/amateur radio operators and us ham operators need to have a pre-established network with designated frequencies to get our message out and around.
Don't wait for the day that either due to martial law or other catastrophic events, our communication paths are severed or greatly blocked.
I suspect there are many ham license holders that are freepers as well. We need to know about each other before the day when we wished we had done this.

Can I get a “green” credit on my taxes for something that looks like a wind turbine generation system. We know that the fed hired help won’t be able to tell the difference.

No code needed anymore for license.
By the time it happens we will be knee deep in the hoopla, so to speak and you will already know what is going on and what to do!

Any good “mobile” HAM gear you’d recommend?

HI LLS,
Thanks, I wouldn’t want to openly post call signs and private info either.
I’ll talk to DH and see if he has any ideas.
Thanks

Mr G (the ham) refers all to winlink.org
Regardless of what the government or private sector (such as AT&T) can do, natural disasters can disable the internet in large regions. Suitably equipped ham operators can send email into and out of such a region using winlink. Winlink is an all volunteer, non-profit project.
