It looks like it’s time get a ham radio. I don’t know anything about them other than you can communicate with people globally, and you need a license. I understand that you need a transceiver, an amplifier, and antenna.
Should I go with a mobile ham radio or a stationary one?
Also, what equipment do you guys recommend? I want to be able to have the ability to scale as I accumulate licenses.
Start with a hand held to reduce costs and get a hand on the program. You can receive and listen without a licence. It is just the transmit part you need the licence for. Check you local fire department and Civil Defense in your town or state for classes or ham clubs to get your info to start and possible gear cheap. As hams we are constantly upgrading and our older equipment is just fine and we sell cheap to newbies. Welcome to the club and it is a lot more fun than TWATTING.

Thank you that sounds like a plan. I’ll check those out. I’m really looking to get something in the next few days (I understand that I’ll need to sit for a test to talk), since, with the mass censorship that is occurring, I don’t know how much longer before more things are censored and we’re completely cut off.
