Let’s all chip in and buy JimRob a Megawatt transmitter, ship it to Fresno, and set it up as a mega-repeater.

All kidding aside. We need a select number of ham operators, one for each geographic area of the country. And a frequency that lay folk can tune in to at regular times. I think this was done in WW2. One-way transmission of news at top of the hour, certain times a day.

That’s an important idea. I hope you post a thread worded in a way that potential participants would recognize. Or if you’re too busy to post, post to me on this thread the text that I could post as a standalone thread.

I don’t have any background to request the network operators you propose so I rely on you.

We old Ham ops are everywhere. Short wave will not patch the web. But there are digital come. IVe done most of them and have the equipment. Hold Amateur extra and GROL Commercial license Ran Navy/Marine MARS station out of my home for 19:years. That service is long gone. Also many of the operators are gone.

Figure out some way to contact by old fashioned mail. Person to one person and chain to a different known freeper, etc.
