Diversity gets rid of all ham.
And in other news: Multiple wildfires break out across LA: Terrifying footage shows hundreds of firefighters battling to contain raging blazes in Southern California as 100,000 are forced to flee their homes:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7562033/Terrifying-footage-shows-drivers-rushing-escape-huge-wildfires-burning-California.html
What a pile of BS. I was a LEDO (Lab Emergency Duty Officer) at a national lab and we always used the ham operators during exercises and any actual emergencies. Sometimes that was the only way we could communicate.
California being dumb-ass stupid again. Just after more money.

“That is a big red flag. Ham radio is the last line of defense for comms in SHTF event”
It still will be for local & long distance.
And if a SHTF requires local area communications, Amazon
has a 5 pack of BaoFeng 5 watt UV-5UV-5RR UHF VHF Dual Band Two Way Radio Walkie Talkies for $129.00.
FCC license is required for operation now. But, not for purchase.
This is wrong an every level. When the time comes to make these wrong-headed leftists pay for their crimes against the people; it won’t be pretty but it will be just.
I know I am going to get yelled at by the hammers for saying this, but this elite organization and the FCC should consider opening up a few of the “long range” frequencies for general public use. It’s time, the public being limited to just a couple short range frequencies like CB and FRS and having all the long range frequencies restricted to a good old boys club is not quite fair to the general public.

Well then, when the long forecast catastrophic earthquake hits, the local officials can just do without our communications expertise.
The good news is, in CA those little Bottles of Shampoo you see in Hotel Rooms will be Illegal starting in 2023.
Seriously...

This really makes me want to get a ham radio and a license, and learn how to use it.

Caliph-ornia says ham is forbidden.
Thank you for posting this. Saw it on Twitter and coupled with power cutoffs, and this, some people think this is a precursor to some false flag incident in California.
What I found interesting- that there was a level of this paranoia “something’s up” among liberals, and conservatives alike.
Yes it is.
And this "announcement" came from fire authorities, while the state is burning again.

And HAM operators provide essential services during and after disasters. CA is really going to regret this.
And it is essentially unregulated. We generally self-report violators.
Only one reason they are doing this. Network disruption. Also, they are trying to hobble ARES, which is FEDERAL.
The bulk of repeaters are on Federal land in the West.
CA hams need to find new, privately owned towers. Pi$$ on the govt.
