Do you know anything about radio?

RF Transmitters can be quickly identified in a military conflict. Shelling invitation.

But yes, remember when Boris Yeltsin was in danger in Russia. Some of the Ham community got the word out about him maintaining control. Military supported him too, from what I have read.

Until Obozo, our military was largely supportive of the Constitution. All took an oath as they joined and later as they advanced.

So. I think you miss the mark.

Portable hand-held ham radios

“I think you miss the mark.”

I think “openurmind’s” question was a legitimate one...and the very same question I was thinking when I bookmarked this thread. I will admit, I know nothing about ham radio...or that type of equipment at all... except for military experience. But, I always thought ham radio really shined in emergencies. There was also the question for me as to whether the use of ham ready might create a target for the enemy. Now I know.

Yes I do know a bit about it, I am into radio. And one time Uncle Jimmy told me that on his third tour in Nam he would take his crew out and not contact anyone unless it was absolutely necessary. Because if you give away your location or called in for fire support you could get shelled by BOTH sides.

So he said short transmissions and move quick. But they still had to communicate now and then for resupply and to give reconnaissance updates.
