That’s right. Himmler would be very jealous.
To round things out, get a CB and even the short range UHF FRS/GMRS radios too.
what TF is a ham tower
No license needed to buy a radio,for now
Doesn’t matter.
Just hang a cheap lightweigth relay on a ballon, either tethered to last a long time or just adrift to last a little shorter.
50c?
CB, while widely available and practical, will be the least desirable to use for coded communications. Running CW on 60 meters is going to be like the wind talkers in WWII. Morse is a dying art, and it’s not been in widespread use by the government for over 50 years. When we’re in post-apocalyptic America, knowing Morse could help to get information out to the world.
For the serious guys. My neighbour built one, 30m. Looked like the frikkin Eiffel.
Yea me papy had one too...neighbors hated it
Nailed it.
I wondered why some of the new radios are FM only. Not many conservative talk shows there.
Access is NOT the same as “control”.
I suspect there are at least a couple of systems he can’t “control”.
Ham radio and hand held walkie-talkies.
“No license needed to buy a radio,for now”
Correct. I in fact bought my transceiver in 1999, got a license in 2007. I wouldn’t have bothered to get a license if I knew upfront that the feds force you to surrender a SSN to become ham licensed. Another invasion of my private info.
Oh, yeah? I’ve got two cans and some string around here somewhere.
If sixteen year old kids can figure out how to build and operate pirate radio stations, I suppose we can too.
That's only the repeaters. It wouldn't effect local station-to-station communications. Besides, with my amps running, I can get out a looooong way.
Who says that all who have capability and power to communicate on 10 meter and 2 meter are licensed?

FR Screwed that up
I said in morse code “You are so right”
Meanwhile, in our “conservative” House, we hear...zzzzzz....
It’s really getting tiresome.
They can, in fact, determine your location in the time it would take you to send a useful message. They can also jam the airwaves. Why do you think the Iraqi military became paralyzed very early in Gulf Wars I & II?
