I’ll be to busy planting the turnip patch to worry about it.
I just hope that the guvmint uses the same ROE on us that they use in every other country we’ve been ‘involved in’ over the last 50 years.
Get to know your neighbors, figure out who can be trusted, learn basic life skills and be prepared for the time when electricity, water and gas are rationed or cut off entirely.

A license is needed for VHF except marine.
Unless you know how to run a ham radio...go luck hearing anything.

Yeah that’s what I was referring to - marine use

The amateur packet radio system isn’t flashy, but with a node in a high location you can communicate over a 60 mile radius. Packet is similar to the old bulletin boards with messaging.
If you don’t have a license, it’s illegal and risky. The FCC has mobile units and monitoring stations that can find you.
Amateur radio is excellent for emergency communications but is a licensed service. When WWII started, the government ordered all operators off the air and it stayed that way until 1945. They can do so again.
One more thing - learn how to turn your phone into a hot spot. (iphones can do this, not sure about android) That way you can use your mobile phone to feed internet access to your laptop.
Watch the movie “The Postman”

I copied a half a paragraph and used the search engine and this came in at the top of the list.
The BNA will be played at/sung at Biden’s inauguration IMHO
They’re not still everywhere?
We have landline phone and internet(dsl) and the lines are all buried. They even bury fiber optic for future use but the phone guy laughed when I asked him how soon we’d have fiber optic internet so I probably won’t see it in my lifetime.
When we get storms that knock down trees that fall on electric lines, we still have phone and internet or at least we did. I need to get a new set of batteries for the battery bank. We didn’t get electric until three years after moving on to the property but had phone and internet the first year. Electric required clearing an easement but since phone/dsl get’s buried, it didn’t. We had a few solar panels and the battery bank and an inverter that ran the dsl modem/router and a cordless phone. Also LED lighting, TV with streaming and a 12vdc chest freezer/fridge. We wouldn’t know the electric was out unless I neighbor told us. It was kinda nice really.
I don’t know if the phone company has a backup generator but I would think so. They’re probably at the top of the list for electric co repair priority, just below hospitals. Of course if some huge transformer(s) that runs half the State goes out ... The ones that take months to make and are not kept in stock.
Thanx for sharing. I saved it and will review later. It is important that we keep all avenues open incase there is a Internet Lockdown. And it can happen.
uhmm. There's already a Ham network and has been for decades and it's worldwide. dumbass politicians.
Half my family has opted to only go with cell phones. Most people have gone with just the cells. They can get landlines, but choose not to.
Its reverse engineering for libs. This tells them what to shut down to conservatives first and then go after these things listed.
