It means that the feds want to take over all means of communications, including this one (the internet). That isn’t going to happen, no matter how hard they try. As long as I have a source of electronic parts, I can get a signal out, and no one can stop me. The genie has been let out of the bottle.

Amen, brother. I may have to solder with a hot rock, but as long as I can dig up an 807 and a hunk of wire, there’ll be communications...Obama EO or not.

7.1 MHz is a good place to play. Math is easy, antennas are easy, coils are quick to wind, and receivers are actually easier than some other frequencies.

I'm not talking xtal controlled tube transmitters. Spark gap transmitters and cat's whisker receivers.

As long as I have an open fire and a blanket for smoke signals, no EO can stop me. Oh, and someone in the next town who can read and forward them.

You're right - it's Homeland Insecurity trying to flex their thugginess... Then again, they're NOT the people protecting the country - they're union type muscle - and LOTS of paranoia... The country will get around them and in a few years Homeland Insecurity will be a creepy chapter in some history book...
