New government entity to take control over military and civilian networks

This is pretty scary stuff. The Federal government is ready to seize control of private company networks in order to "protect" us in the event of a hacker attack.

We are long past the need for tinfoil hats. The stuff that the tinfoil hat brigade was warning us about 10 years ago is now commonplace and accepted. We are living in dangerous times.

I could see them take control of level 3 in this country. The L3 carriers bridge every ISP in this country with the internet.

Does the marine radio band require a special license?

I don't believe so,, but the serious sailors use SSB, (single side band) which does.

Forget GPS. When the SHTF they will shut it down. The Military id already launching new GPS sats that will not be available to the public.

That was not the feature that caught my attention,,, it was the voice scrambling...not sure how that works.

My LDS stake in San Diego had ham radio ops, but also had an effective "phone tree" and "on the ground" connectivity via foot or bicycle. We could account for 5,000 people in the space of 30 minutes without phone or radio.

Anyway to join LDS w/o believing the crap?

VS is quit simple and is based upon the same technology as PGP from a few years back. A key is needed to decrypt. Good systems have floating freq and scramble technology. Very hard to crack.

Has there been any mention of solar activity in this thread yet?

Just got in from work, trying to catch up.

If you have some LDS neighbors, ask if you can participate in the emergency preparedness drills. It's a good time to review your own readiness with respect to food, water, first aid and other common needs in an emergency situation. If you're an active ham, I'm sure you would be welcome to participate in the drills.

The Mercury Amateur Radio Association was formed and spun off from the church organization.

You need either a ship's station license or a base station license for the radio. The radios need to be set up properly with oven controlled crystal oscillators to meet the frequency tolerances. +/- 50 Hz on the boat. +/- 10 Hz at the base station. The operator(s) need a 3rd class radiotelephone license. Basic rules/regs. I have a 1st Class grandfathered to a General Radiotelephone Operator's License (lifetime). In the late 70's I cared for the radios on 180 boats and about 14 base stations in San Diego. I moved on to PacBell when it was clear that the tuna fleet intended to leave town. That gutted the customer base.

That was not the feature that caught my attention,,, it was the voice scrambling...not sure how that works.

I fitted voice scramblers on many tuna boats and base stations. The basic technology breaks voice band energy into 5 audio bands. The filtered energy is passed to a balanced mixer producing upper or lower sideband against the carrier frequency in that band. The USB or LSB is then linearly mixed to one of the other 5 bands. There are about 40,000 combinations. A good scrambler steps through a precisely timed sequence of those combinations. All stations on the same "net" will have the same sequences programmed. All will synchronize to a "master" station at the start of the "net". It was all analog, but pretty effective. The biggest challenge for me was dealing with all the different microphone circuit types. Dynamic, carbon and crystal mikes were a common mix on the boats.

I haven’t noticed a mention of solar activity—but I admit that I’ve done a bit of skimming the responses-—I’m out of duct tape and don’t want my head to explode—LOL!
