I am a general class ham. I have been looking for discussions on HF regarding current events. A few minutes ago I came across a discussion on 40 meters at 7235 khz that was about the impeachment backfiring and the hidden truth being dropped as a result. Suddenly the two guys discussing it disappeared, and a couple of guys with much weaker signals started talking about HCQ. I've been listening for about 20 minutes and have heard no call signs.
Does anyone here know of any HF frequencies commonly used for this type of discussion? Q was never mentioned, but these guys obviously have been red pilled.
These days even cheap is expensive except for those Chinese Baofeng types.
Yeah. Radios like the 718 or 706 look like they're going for $350-450. The next tier is like $700-800. I have an Elecraft KX3 - that's like $900 plus the amp for another thousand or so. Not a cheap hobby by any stretch.
