Wound my heart with monotonous languor.
Translation, don’t power up your Baofeng !
Breaker 1-9, Breaker 1-9... we gotta stolen election in the rearview....
Does this apply to Nellie Ohr too?

So this was circulating in my local ham group after it was noted that a repeater in Fairfax was shut down during the capitol incident. Its not clear who or what was using the repeater. In general the repeaters record every time they are used, so it shouldn’t be too hard for the operators to publish what the offending usage was.. If they haven’t been told not to due to an ongoing investigation. Its also not clear who shut down the repeater.. My guess is it was just one more example of the massive over reaction.
Here’s the thing.. Antifa posers are not going to use the repeaters.. They are going to be using their baeofeng radios in simplex for a lot of reasons.. So my guess is that the repeaters were being used by the people at the rally as an alternative to the overloaded cell network.. A contingency discussed here. Cutting off the repeater was similar to cutting off the cell service.. Another way of contributing to the chaos.
I told my neighbor to get a baofeng and I’d program it for him. Most cop freqs are out of baofeng’s range, but fire is still accessible.
Also, you can monitor all FRS and GMRS walkie frequencies, so if people are coordinating near you, you can hear them coming.
Finally, you can talk all you want on them as long as you’re moving. FCC can’t triangulate a moving source.
We got some domestic terrorists here trying to use the public air waves.
Aaaaaa! We’re all doooooooomed! It’s all a conspiracy—everything!

Why would they announce this?
The only people doing this have been untouchable for a few
months shy of a year.
All powers that be refuse to go after them.
Might as well whiz up a rope as to announce this.
Waste of time...

Remember the sound trucks roaming the streets in the occupied countries of Europe?
may God continue to bless and protect our Amateur Radio Service from all its enemies. Amen.
If you aren’t near a coastline or large body of water, the marine band is rarely used for anything.
Just sayin’.
