I heard the NSA cannot monitor it.

Therein lies the cause: California has gone full Communist. Much of CA has become another country and an enemy one at that.

They can. In fact, they do. There are a number of satellites that monitor VHF communications.

Ham radio is one of the easiest things for the NSA or you to monitor.

All you need is radios that cover the assigned ham radio frequencies and an antenna, and you can monitor it all.

Transmissions are in voice, Morse code and digital, AM and FM and single sideband, etc, so you have to learn a little and invest a little to hear and see it all, but it's doable.

Encryption, to the best of my knowledge, is not allowed.

Flat-out untrue. Licensed General Class here so I know what I'm talking about.

re: “I heard the NSA cannot monitor it.”

THEY are just lazy; all ham comms in the US _must_ use published protocols with NO encryption of the content ...

That's why the deep state's Nellie Ohr obtained a Ham radio license back in 2016..............
