- - - - - - -
ASSIGNMENT OF NATIONAL SECURITY AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COMMUNICATIONS FUNCTIONS
By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. The Federal Government must have the ability to communicate at all times and under all circumstances to carry out its most critical and time sensitive missions. Survivable, resilient, enduring, and effective communications, both domestic and international, are essential to enable the executive branch to communicate within itself and with: the legislative and judicial branches; State, local, territorial, and tribal governments; private sector entities; and the public, allies, and other nations. Such communications must be possible under all circumstances to ensure national security, effectively manage emergencies, and improve national resilience. The views of all levels of government, the private and nonprofit sectors, and the public must inform the development of national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) communications policies, programs, and capabilities.

But what does it mean? It seems like a bunch of mumbo jumbo to me.
7145 used to be the hang out spot for all the pirate shortwavers.
If I want DX, I'd put up a 100ft tower and slap a monster yagi on it.
I do like playing with milliwatt power homebrew transmitters.
Fun times. Keeps me off the streets. ;)

FYI ping.
Would a document such as this one be signed “BARACK OBAMA,” without any title of office?
You know, much as I agree with you and am ready to vote for the RINO...I am really, really starting to wonder if we are ever going to make it to November.
And even if we do, there’s 2 more months before he has to leave, which he won’t.
I do believe the Devil is in the white house, and no law means anything to him.
0bama can issue as many EO’s as he wishes, he can pontificate and make all the proclamations his ego will produce but in the end there absolutely WILL be one or more loyal military officers who will not violate their Oath to “preserve, protect and defend” the Constitution of the United States, and they will do whatever becomes necessary before total darkness descends upon our Land.
Take that to the bank (if your bank is still open ;).

Sec. 5.6. The Federal Communications Commission performs such functions as are required by law, including: (a) with respect to all entities licensed or regulated by the Federal Communications Commission: the extension, discontinuance, or reduction of common carrier facilities or services; the control of common carrier rates, charges, practices, and classifications; the construction, authorization, activation, deactivation, or closing of radio stations, services, and facilities; the assignment of radio frequencies to Federal Communications Commission licensees; the investigation of violations of pertinent law; and the assessment of communications service provider emergency needs and resources; and ...
Sorry, I didn’t mean to sound like a smart alec. I don’t know what it means either, but he’s got the authority to put a commission together to come up with ways to do things in times of emergency, blah blah. The commerce clause has already been warped to give the Executive branch the power to regulate telecommunications, hence the FCC (part of the Dept. of Commerce) already has the ability to control radio, TV, phones, and the internet. And they report to the President, so this isn’t exactly a shocking development. The sticky part is - who determines what is an emergency and under what circumstances could the President could take control of things? That seems to be the kind of question this commission will attempt to answer...
I think you would be handy to have as a neighbor. ;>)
Got Morse?
Yep and better.
I would never break a law tied to a treaty like the ITC agreement. I've had a licence since forever.
Having basic skillsets is important, though.
Freedom requires skills. 73's.

Yikes!!!
“Are you a DXer?”

I can not see Obumbo doing it, as his Commie supporters also
rely on the Internet as much as anyone. Even the DUmmies would be pissed.
My question is...If Obumbo shuts down the Internet in the USSA, how will it effect the net internationally?
Other then FR and some Email contacts, a US shutdown would not have so much impact on me.
Digital modes... got it, don't use it much, besides CW.
I grew up building homebrew stuff. I'll probably croak out with a half-finished project in a box somewhere.

I'm sure he will also be Pardoning a few Black “Political Prisoners” who are convicted Cop Killers.
No doubt in my mind.
This makes sense. No one is stopping him, so he’s simply continuing to take, take, take. Dictators are like that.
Sorry for the gross political incorrectness, but can anyone name a prominent black national leader at the executive level who did NOT become a dictator? I mean in ALL of world history.
It doesn’t mean Obama is GOING to become a full dictator, no, but if he does not I believe he would then be the first or second in world history who did not.
That’s just a guess, and I’ll welcome it if someone corrects me.
