perfect excuse to get your ham radio license - edit (added more info)
The philosophy behind amateur radio is very similar to owning firearms.
One reason people own firearms is so they do not require police for protection. The firearm owner wants to be responsible for his own safety. He requires a license, practices, spends money, becomes smarter, and enjoys the hobby.
Amateur radio is the same mindset. I don't want to rely on AT&T, or Verizon, or CNN, or Comcast, or TD.W for communication outside my bubble. I practice, spend money, become smarter, have fun with the hobby. I can easily communicate with most of north america and western europe. Remember, amateur radio is point to point....there is no middleman. I maintain my equipment, other hams maintain their equipment...no problems.
Walkie Talkies and CBs do not require a license. Depending on the area, these can end up with lots of jokers tying up frequencies. Their range is relatively short, so this is only a local problem (only people near the joker can hear him).
The High Frequency ham bands can go all around the world. One of the main purposes of ham is for communication during emergencies. By requiring a license, the operator is forced to learn how to operate his radio correctly. Its kind of lame to require a license. But its a pleasure to interact with other ham nerds, because most everyone is very professional, polite, and smart.
Thanks for replying blacktankguy. What particularly interests me right now is via licensing I assume your name and address is documented making it easier for "the powers that be" to, well essentially 'find yer'. If you get my drift. Or perhaps I'm becoming paranoid? 😜
Or guys like you take on an apprentice or two, so the other hammers don't get ticked at poor protocol. Why give them another way to track you by getting a license to communicate?
If this site ever goes down my support of Trump will only go up even more. We can't doom in absence of our community and it will just be a celebration that they view him and us as that dangerous, while we figure out how to regather.
I need to download some shit to my tablet so I can read / watch something whist on the shitter. Can NOT do shampoo bottles again like I did growing up in the 70's-80's.
They do have these great things called books and magazines still. Cheap to buy used, do not require electricity (except when it's dark out) and the only downloading you need to do is the one you sat on the toilet for.
You did that, too, huh? Did you try to find each letter of the alphabet on the bottle, and freaked if there was a j,q,x, or a z, not counting the ounces (oz) in the bottle?
I am outing my freaky self.
We rely too much on electronics. Soon all our books will be downloadable and can be deleted with a switch. Our electric cars won't work because the electric grid may be attacked (always good to have a classic gas car/truck you can fix on your own and runs on gas). They want to control you- that's why California is banning gas-cars by 2030.
I feel like this is a dumb question, but i can't seem to find the answer...I don't have "real" tv, just a roku, so if the internet goes out, I guess that means I am out of luck? Frankly I don't even know for sure that if internet does NOT go out, whether the EMS would show up on my tv.....anybody have a clue?
The internet cannot just "go down" or "go dark". Maybe a few websites will, but literally just plugging an ethernet cable from my PC to my neighbors pc is internet
Can someone explain how internet, radio, and TV could all be shut down? Do leftist control all of it? Couldn't like police broadcast something? I have no idea how any of this works.

What's the purpose of a Ham radio license?
Walkie Talkies and CBs do not require a license. Depending on the area, these can end up with lots of jokers tying up frequencies. Their range is relatively short, so this is only a local problem (only people near the joker can hear him).

Yup - name and address is tied to your "callsign" unfortunately.
I heard lots of people use PO boxes - evidently that is acceptable.
I wasn't really paranoid back when I got my license....but I feel differently now.

8f it goes down im sire it'll be back up without hours or days so I'll probably just chill till then lmao
That is the saddest static I have ever seen.

Back to the 80s yes!
Lol wouldn't that technically be uploading?
Edit: uploading a Pence, as they say
use paper if you're going to touch-ee the download

Lol.

And why would you know before an emergency broadcast ?
The LORD has this!!
I'm stocked, locked and ready.

If you have a modern TV it may pick up local stations without an antenna. If not an antenna is cheap.
I have a roku tv, you can plug in an antenna and get local over the air channels as long as you’re in range of the tower.
The MSM is providing the cover for the traitors, crooks and fraudsters which allows them to get away with it.
❤️✝️🇺🇸💪
If it happens, i will stand. If not, i will wait.
The internet cannot just "go down" or "go dark". Maybe a few websites will, but literally just plugging an ethernet cable from my PC to my neighbors pc is internet
Sounds like larping
I pray it happens
Please God, may it be so.
Trump cannot fail. He has us.
HAM Radio and AM radio will be crazy hard to shut down completely.
Can someone explain how internet, radio, and TV could all be shut down? Do leftist control all of it? Couldn't like police broadcast something? I have no idea how any of this works.
Hint - they can't shut any of that down. Nor do they have reason to. Even if Trump had some master plan, shutting everything down makes 0 sense
why tho? we already know whats happening.
Can we quit with this. Nothing is happening he's leaving office 3 days.
You people are delusional and starting to look crazy. Stop and go enjoy life. It will all be over soon.
You might start with "be careful what info you trust" before you worry about "should comms go dark".
