As a General license holder myself, this is absolutely retarded. There are so many HAMs that take FEMA classes and get certified in case of a disaster in order to save lives that FEMA is too incompetent to save.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Libs could (and would) shut off the cellular network in order to keep the proles in line. They couldn’t do that with the ham folks. (Yes, wideband jamming is possible, but many xmtrs at multiple frequences would required and even then the jammers could be DF’d and decommissioned by ...er...folks on our side.)
Nope, not paranoid, but realistic.
Never, EVER trust a progressive. They are the enemy.
Bottomless slime.
NEVER EVER.
As for myself, I have been a ham radio operator for close to fifty years and hold an extra class license and my call starts with WB9.....I do believe that the real reason for shutting down ham radio is that if law and order breaks down, and not just in an emergency, ham radio operators still can provide an essential link, something a totalitarian government which is hell bent on controlling every facet in our daily life’ can not permit.
This is one of the first things any government which intends to take total control will do, is to shut down communications which they can not control. First take all the guns and then restrict free communications. Well I think Kalifornia is well on its way and people better wake up, as most of them are too ignorant to pay attention to the proverbial handwriting on the wall as the “Canary in the coalmine” which is an harbinger for the rest of nation has just about taken its last breath. No doubt that many of you have heard the saying “The way Kalifornia goes, so goes the rest of the nation” What dreadful thought !
