“ Preppers practicing for comms post shtf times.”

That’s my guess. GMRS repeaters maybe or a meshed LTE network of some kind.

That’s not how we do it. Our antennas don’t need solar power. And a repeater would need to be on a substantial base to be effective over more than a short distance.

I have a number of friends who have set up repeaters and mesh networks to the point they can operate/communicate with dozens of people spread over several miles easily even if internet goes down

I’ve been thinking about doing the same just haven’t gotten around to it

That was my thinking...preppers doing it. Thinking they wouldn’t get caught or thinking it was innocuous enough to be of any real concern.

Sounds like they thought wrong.
