*Modems, Routers, Mobile networks, VPNs (personal phones, laptops, etc)... Are BANNED if used to contact any any “foreign adversaries” (such as Korea, China, Cuba, Iran) Also this is subject to change, meaning anywhere in Europe could be next if deemed “appropriate”)


So in Amateur radio a computer can be used to generate a signal that is transmitted through your radio and into the aether. That signal is picked up by a Chinese station say BD5XXX—a signal report is is exchanged and everyone is on their way...

There is another mode that operates in a similar fashion that allows for a short exchange of written messages called JS8Call... Again a computer or tablet is used to generate the signals that are transmitted through one’s radio.

JS8Call is the ultimate sharing of information outside the internet—although a laptop or tablet is used.

So the question is—will this bill make such modes of transmission illegal?

It depends.

Who did you vote for in the last election?
