In light of today's widespread Internet outages, we should discuss contingency plans for FR availability, news updates and emergency communications.
Please share what ham amateur radio shortwave frequencies to monitor for emergencies and news updates, as well as practical ham email on the HF and VHF bands.
Typo, should be Framingham
No problem. There is from time to time gear on craigslist and many ham clubs have swap meets.
Excellent tip!
The democrat party can be considered a hacktivist enemy of the state.
Many thanks for the ping.
Thanks for bringing this up...
“During WWII the partisans would have a pre=arranged time to go ‘on air’ to send and or receive Code messages.”
Wow. Amazing things have gotten to the point where we have even think like that again.

MARS-Amateur Radio Interoperability Exercise to Test “Very Bad Day” Scenario
10/19/2016
From October 30 through November 1, members of the Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) will conduct a quarterly US Department of Defense (DOD) Contingency Communications Exercise (COMMEX). The quarterly exercise will offer training on the ability to provide communications following a “very bad day” scenario, when traditional forms of communications will likely be unavailable. The exercise will involve interoperability between MARS and Amateur Radio participants and is open to all members of the amateur community.
“While the simultaneous loss of all communications nationwide is not likely, we are assuming there has been a massive nationwide outage, for training purposes,” Army MARS Program Manager Paul English, WD8DBY, said. “One objective of the exercise is to continue the partnership with the Amateur Radio community to help provide information about local conditions.” Information gathered will be forwarded to the DOD to provide a better picture of what is happening around the country, he said.
“During this exercise, we will use 60 meters, local VHF and UHF repeaters, and HF NVIS [near-vertical incidence skywave] Amateur Radio bands,” English explained. “Our goal is to have a conversation about the local conditions in and around your county. During the conversation, our operators will be asking basic questions, such as the status of commercial power, public water systems, and road conditions. These will be person-to-person conversations; you don’t need to use any digital modes or know any special messaging formats.”
To kick off this exercise, MARS is encouraging the Amateur Radio community to monitor 5,330.5 kHz from 0300-0400 UTC on October 31, when MARS will conduct a high-power voice broadcasts, alternating between military stations on the East Coast and West Coast. MARS wants Amateur Radio operators to submit reception reports, as indicated in the 60 meter voice broadcast.
For the remainder of the exercise, MARS personnel will be calling for Amateur Radio operators on the five 60 meter channels as well as on established Amateur Radio nets on HF and on VHF/UHF repeaters.
Contact MARS with questions about this exercise.
During an October 25 webinar, English will discuss the quarterly DOD contingency communication exercises, which promote interoperability between the Amateur Radio community and the DOD. He also will talk about initiatives for promoting the use of 60 meters between Amateur Radio and the federal government as well as the types of information MARS operators will be requesting from the Amateur Radio community during October 31-November 1 exercise.
Registration for the webinar, “Overview of Army and Air Force MARS,” remains open. Also during the webinar, US Air Force MARS Chief Dave Stapchuk, KD9DXM, will discuss the history of the Military Auxiliary Radio System (MARS) program and membership requirements for Amateur Radio operators. Webinar registrants will receive a confirming e-mail that contains information about joining the webinar.
Best citizen disaster recovery ham radio org I’ve seen so far.
Christian oriented, no supremacist overtone detected.
The American Redoubt movement is essentially the proactive migration of devout Christians and jews relocating to the US N West in preparation for inevitable economic collapse and resulting social unrest. Headed by Pastor Rawles, supported by Chuck Baldwin.
ABOUT | AMRRON
AMRRON MISSION STATEMENT
We are committed to maintaining a continental network of radio operators for disaster response and civil defense, always ready to serve our communities, our states, our nation and our fellow countrymen with unconventional communications in times of need.
ABOUT
Founded in 2011, AmRRON was originally created as a communications network to keep communities and states within the American Redoubt connected in the event of a major disaster situation, or socio-economic collapse. Within a year, over half the members consisted of those living outside the American Redoubt. AmRRON has now grown to nearly two thousand radio operators, with members in every state, plus Puerto Rico and Canada. In January, 2014, AmRRON merged with TAPRN, making it the largest conservative mostly-Christian radio network outside of a faith-based organizational structure (such as Salvation Army and LDS).

AmRRON is a network of Preppers, Patriots and Redoubters who have volunteered to keep each other connected when other means of communications are unavailable or unreliable. AmRRON operators participate in scheduled nets to practice using non-conventional communications.
Although, AmRRON has interoperability with other preparedness and patriot networks, we strongly encourage other communications teams to develop their own, communications plans in the event that AmRRON becomes disrupted or compromised.
Example of groups who have AmRRON operators as an integrated part of their disaster/preparedness plans:
– Community Preparedness Networks
– Prepper Groups
– Patriot Organizations
– Families and Individuals
– Church-operated disaster preparedness teams
– Militias
– Oathkeepers
– Various ARES & RACES groups
– Ham clubs
Types of AmRRON members
HAM OPERATORS:
Use their equipment and skills to keep the American Redoubt connected and informed, to coordinate the efforts of Redoubters, and to promote the American Redoubt movement. Many of them have capabilities that allow them to stay connected across the entire American Redoubt, as well as with other Redoubters and patriots (and other redoubts that will emerge in the future) across the country and even in other countries. They may also relay relevant information, alerts, coordination of efforts, and promotion of the American Redoubt movement to Redoubters in their local area using the CH3 Project frequencies. The frequency bands that are covered by many Ham Operators include HF (shortwave), 2m, 72cm, CB, FRS/GMRS, and MURS.
RELAYS:
Although Ham operators are also expected to perform Relay functions, dedicated ‘Relays’ are typically operators who have volunteered to monitor for radio traffic from other Redoubters, and then Relay that information across their local area, or to a Ham Operator, who can then pass the information on to others in the network. Most Relays have at LEAST one type of CH3 Project communications, such as a CB (Citizens Band radio), FRS (Family Radio Service), or MURS (Multi-Use Radio System). But they generally SHOULD have some type of communications that can monitor for radio traffic from Ham Operators, such as a high quality shortwave (with Single Side Band) radio or a police scanner (typically from 30mhz to 800mhz), or both. This way they can hear traffic from many, many miles away and relay that to Redoubters in their local area using CH3.
AmRRON CORPS:
AmRRON also has a paid membership, called AmRRON Corps. The AmRRON Corps team is group of communicators dedicated to learning and being involved at a higher level. AmRRON Corps members have access to experience operators and are able to have direct communications with other members via the ProBoards forum. This is an amazing group of communicators and have become a strong team by working and learning together. If you are willing to learn we would love to have you on the team!
The AmRRON frequencies are outlined in the Communications S.O.I.

I did a little research on what happened yesterday. The whole Internet did not go down just the Domain Name Servers were attacked. Someone explained that to be like someone stealing your phone book for us old timers. You know the name but not the number to call.
There’s a work around for this. Google and OpenDNS have their own servers with that information. You have to setup your computer to use them. I’m trying it out now and will report back the next time this happens.
Ironically I live in the red zone yesterday and never had a problem. My ISP must be good.
I have a "Uniden (BearCat-like scanner) BC355N Scanner" which gives me air plane, fire, police, weather, and CB channels, all in one scanner package.
The range for the scanner is about 20 miles, without relays.
Many fire and police departments are going into multi-bands and encryption channels which require a more expensive scanner, and code access , as they modrnize.
The typical CB radio range is around 30 miles, depending on the type and height of the antenna and output power;
trucker nation is on channel #18, if I recall properly.
There is a restriction on how powerful CB's can be, if I recall properly.
Go to post #42 for a direct link and its also a "Hot-link" to arrange admission to the OathKeepers WEBINAR
It's comming up on Monday, 10/24/16, and scheduled for Central time(!) , so adjust time accordingly.
I have been looking for additional information on this to verify authenticity. It is crazy, scary if real. Please read to the end. http://192.168.1.1:8181/http://www.veritasresearchconsulting.com/PSYOPS/Benson_Strategy_Group-Clinton_Foundation-Salvage_Program.pdf
Another freeper here gave me a heads up on it.
BSG political consultant is real, and their phone number on this white paper rings up their office.
As for the authencity of the content, like you, I have not been able to verify it.
I’m sure BSG would deny it.
It’s similar to rumored NASA Project Blue Beam, ie: fake ET “disclosure” social disruption event.
Can’t find anything on this “Firesign” project (except for old episodes of Fire Sign Theater ;n)
Good help us.

SALVAGE PROGRAM
Salvage Options (Recommendation & Alternatives)
We have analyzed a number of potential salvage options and have a strong recommendation.
Non-Recommended Salvage Options
Optional Scenario Notes Risks / Issues
Red Dawn Support is too wide-spread. While an RD scenario using UN
forces and Canadian-border infil would be effective in
shutting down northern voting, it would simply delay the
inevitable and result in hardened support for Mr. Trump.
Loss of property (& life)
Alt-Right forces are prepared for battle
Cobalt Rain The public has been primed for radiological attack and
stockpiles have been positioned but while the psychological
impact of a Co-60 weapon is severe, the threshold of
opportunity may have passed for this to stop a vote.
Loss of profit under martial law.
Leaks could compromise
BLRiot Again, while staged civil unrest could prevent pockets of
America from voting, the damage is too wide-spread.
Command and control is dicey at this
point as substantial numbers of employed
minorities have defected to Trump
Zikpocalypse Improved strains of ZIKV have been delivered and we have
disseminated them to operatives. Unfortunately this will
suppress women voters more than men (even as ZIKV2 is
lethal in adults). This would hurt Hillary Clinton and
Trump voters are willing to risk lethal pathogens to vote
Post-election control
Sharia Escalation States have blocked key immigrant operatives. Without the
required Muslim-Islamist population in place, the IE plan
will not be sufficiently impactful.
LEO is pro-Trump and will not roll over
due to Muslim demands of political
correctness
Unnatural Disaster HAARP is in skeleton crew mode. Subterranean
thermobaric devices in fracking mines are untested. Surveys
suggest this might not stop Trump voters
Unproven techniques / unintended
consequences
Reactivating HAARP may have PALE
HORSE PROTOCOL ramifications
Recommended Salvage: FIRESIGN
For almost two decades the Department of Defense and NASA have
coordinated on a black book project under the codename FIRESIGN.
FIRESIGN’s aim is to create a religious “awe effect” in enemy
populations to create an instantaneous psychological soft-kill (abject
submission). The operation uses high powered lasers to project real-
seeming images on the sodium layer 100km above the surface. These
images can cover hundreds or even thousands of square miles and can
appear completely real, three dimensional, and can move.
These visual cues are augmented with pulsed ELF electromagnetic
emissions (see: PROJECT SANGUINE) that attack the specific areas
of the prefrontal cortex that are stimulated during religious
experience. In limited tests, subjects have been able to be
overwhelmed on both axis of vastness (an overwhelming of the
subject’s frame of reference) and a powerful need-for-
accommodation. The mix of these two will produce inaction, lack of
focus on self or individual interaction, and gross transformations in mental equilibrium (a Road-to-Damascus Experience).
Anything like this in California? http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/paffairs/faq/faq71.htm Article from 2011 says they're dying out.

(Dear Doc, what does "73" mean?)
Thanks, TIK!
Excerpt below, more at the link.
An FOIA request filed by Kristan T. Harris of the American Intelligence Report resulted in the release of related to former United States Naval Intelligence officer, author and radio broadcaster William (Bill) Cooper from Eagar, Arizona.
The unclassified documents paint Cooper’s controversial actions as “hosting a talk show by means of short-wave radio,” as well as “frequently condemning the federal government, Justice Department and the FBI for the ‘atrocities’ at Waco and Ruby Ridge”. The records punctuate the point that Bill was, “convinced there is a government sponsored socialist conspiracy to establish a ‘new world order’” multiple times throughout the FBI’s investigations.
Cooper, best known for his underground best seller, “Behold a Pale Horse”, caught the FBI’s attention in 1997 over controversial allegations surrounding the Oklahoma City (OKC) bombing and Timothy McVeigh, the FOIA shows. In his broadcast, Hour of the Time, he often called the tragic incident a false flag attack by criminal elements of our government.
Shortly after the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building, Rush Limbaugh read a White House memo on the air during his broadcast which named William Cooper, “…the most dangerous radio host in America”.
This contributed to Cooper believing that he was personally targeted by President Bill Clinton and the IRS for tax evasion. He often addressed his concerns over his daily broadcast, Hour of the Time, and Project VERITAS publications.
