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.

I have an old 2 meter sideband radio and a booster that is capable of 1500 watts. I haven’t had it out to use in years, but I have talked as far as Texas an Oklahoma. I was living in North Carolina at the time I need to get it out and see that it still works.

“The amateur packet radio system isn’t flashy”

That would be HAM?

What’s an amateur packet radio?

I didn't know that, but it makes sense.

Back then the globalists had managed to trigger Japan and Germany into empire ambition, and both those countries were busy spreading democracy, their style.

China will be used this time around.

The constitution of the Constitution of the People's republic of China is very strong on protecting human rights.

"the Chinese people took state power into their own hands and became masters of the country." - right there in the preamble.
