Amateur Radio has always been the only means of communication during all kinds of conflicts, blackouts and emergencies and will continue to be so. Some of the bands can operate across the globe
Hello fellow ham
Heya! The last time I held a license was more than 30 years ago. I dont know if HAM uses morse code predominantly anymore or not.
Morse is not even a requirement for entry-level level "Tech" license anymore, completely did away with the Novice class.
Like everything else, the push is going digital, computer controlled radios and software only rigs, SDR, satellite, etc.
Still a great hobby but nothing like the good ole days. But then...
What is?
Well, as long as there are rigs that run on batteries and can transmit really far, its all good. I am not sure if voice modulation requires higher wattage / morse transmits farther. I am gonna look back into this and buy myself a nice rig.
Oh yes, very true!
And it is still quite possible to make contacts half way around the globe on 1W using CW (Morse) when the band's are right! It all still depends on our sun, one thing that is not going to change, atleast not anytime soon.
Ham's are still some of the finest Patriots you could ever hope to meet, just great people!
I really hope you do decide to get back into it, it is more diverse than ever. There's something for everyone, that's for sure! (Met a guy in Orlando that is into Moon-Bounce, I didn't know there were any Moonies left around, he said not too many are!)

Exactly I’m still a noob, you can listen all you want. The weirdest thing I heard was a Chinese broadcast the night of the 2020 election, on 20 meters that blew me away. I haven’t heard it since then, now I know there was something in that broadcast.
I keep saying I am going to get licensed and buy a ham radio. I’ve said it for 2.0 years. But have I ever done it —- no. I think it’s a really great thing to have in your arsenal of prepping. It seems complicated… what radio to buy? How to start? Etc. Taking any advice anyone has to give on this!
I’m studying for my Extra (took both Tech and General test in one sitting back in 2016) my wife thinks it would be a great idea to get one and now she’s studying for her technician license. She is not technical at all, but it’s mainly laws and regulations and very basic electronics.
All you need is the official study guide, The ARRL Ham license manual (get the spiral bound one, just trust me bro) http://www.arrl.org/licensing-education-training
That is all you need but a great addition is the fast track series where they break down the questions that are in the exam.

For a radio, a great starter and common radio is Baofeng UV5R, just buy a better antenna and get the cable so you can program it with CHIRP!
It’s a great hobby and may be a lifeline some day. I always have it when I’m out hiking
Thanks for these great resources!
Thank you!!
that's a big 10-4, Big Muskie!!!
I identify as a CB radio, now.
My preferred pronouns are "10-4" and "Good Buddy".
That made me smile!
Convoy! https://youtu.be/Sd5ZLJWQmss
You do know what good buddy means right?
No, what?

Good Gosh, has everything become sexualized?
Key part of that urban dictionary definition-
For those who haven't descended into degeneracy, the answer is no. For those who have, they see evidence of Rule 34 everywhere.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Rule+34
I coulda gone my whole life without knowing that. Meat puppets. Sheesh.
To the unclean, nothing is clean. (BIBLE)
Ewww .. must they commendere everything?
Oh good lord.
I can just imagine how many people are dusting off their old CB radios to give shout outs to the truckers going to/in Canada right now.
Things are going to get very interesting! 😂
Yeah, you might want to rethink "good buddy".
Sounds like booma hyuma to me.
🤦🏻
That range though...
And government determines what bands you can use...
And it's easy to listen in if not using encryption...
Not to mention if you key in, they can figure out your location. Instantaneously.
That's why we speak in parable, allegory and code
Number stations.
You bet RANGE! AND, the government has FAILED to fully control and enforce these band-use and power regulations. FCC has turned over the monitoring and enforcement to city and county governments. And, if you wouldn't say it in public, why on Earth would you say it on the FREE AIRWAVES?!?!
Not allowed to use encryption
Additionally, now that Musk has dramatically increased traffic in the near future, they will have a really hard time using it anytime soon.
..i hate habing to wonder if it isn't deliberate..
When I read about jizzlane being a hammie 4 or 5 years ago I realized just how important the skill would be for the coming apocalypse.
Wasn’t the ugly woman who was having the affair and wrote all the text messages (drawing a blank on her name) a ham radio operator?
Beautiful Nellie
Oh yeah. Her^^
You have to speak like Jesus, or Q. Few will truly understand.
Your telling me p25 phase 2 has been cracked?
What’s a good model?
Beofeng
Isn't that a Chinese developer?
I have a couple of those potatoes
Thats not a CB radio.
Better. It’s a ham.
Fang fang
Probably. However they are some of the best.
Hate to say.
I'm happy with my 3.
Uniden.
Stryker radios have extra power built in and can be modified to broadcast on the CB band. I personally run a Modded out galaxy 959
...i hear 'presidents ' arn't bad, still have a few ' cobras ' lying about
Cobra, Uniden, Realistic, Sears, Midland, anything, really from the late 70's thru the 80's with ssb and swr. Full frequency units like Yaesu, Icom and Kenwood are a stretch but are loaded with filtering, tuning tweaks and power.
You leave Jack Burton alone! We are in his debt, he showed great courage!
That movie was so campy.
That was the point.
Ahh....great flick from my youth. Sucks to have to hate Hollywood and most in it
That sounds good, but a few EF-18G Growlers airborne with jammers on could keep CB comms from happening across thousands of miles. Not normally used on their own country, but if they felt civilian comms via CB were a threat they could easily jam the frequencies.
"They" have jammers set-up on many cell towers as well, in the most populated areas.
Since around the time of 9/11 they have made it a priority to gain instant and complete control over all our normal forms of comm's.
Folks would be shocked at just the abilities their local law enforcement (think SWAT, Feds etc.) have available to them to control local comm's.
Everyone should be asking themselves just why the Gov't wants or needs these systems.
And to listen in or search through online activity, comms, etc. Nothing is private and these VPN companies over promise in the hope you never find out all of them probably have a government back door.
The phone network had a government electronic back door installed in every phone switch in the early 2000s. Saw it happen. It was "so courts could issue subpoenas and monitor suspects without human intervention at the phone company" but the real purpose was access to everything without anyone knowing or able to stop or see it.
They've gotten the ability to listen prior to that through cooperation with the phone companies and manual intervention. Now they have complete, unfettered access with only keystrokes required and no checks and balances.
They did something like that with the South African farmers.
Jammed their signals so they couldn't call for help when being attacked.
By neighborhood joggers in boots?
And what many don't realize is we have airborne SIGINT aircraft all over the world. Things like USAF Rivet Joint RC-135's sniffing for signals for many miles around. No telling what ground based sniffers are in place in larger populations. And add on jamming capability, especially for citizen bands like CB, short wave and cell phones, and we're basically at the mercy of those with the tech to shut it down or listen in at every moment. Cell phones microphones, smart TV's, Alexa devices, basically anything connected to the web with a microphone is listening.
People fool themselves if they think they can communicate without some way to listen, monitor or absorb that data, pool it, analyze it, etc. That's why the NSA built that giant facility in Nevada. Storage. And computing power. Go talk in the woods without electronics if you're looking for the perfect solution.
Yeeeeaaah rodger that. 👍
For now
Still gonna monitored.
Lol! They've got some work to do...
The deep state thought they were safe from the NSA. Hello Nellie.
Elon is dropping those red pills these past few days
Elon says AI is the biggest threat to humanity.
Elon also says he wants to connect AI directly to your brain.
Reconcile.
AI in the wrong hands is the biggest threat. Context.
Hopefully starlink will be too... 🤣
He’s had some interesting tweets lately.
My Dad and I used to go south on 75 along the midwest down to Florida was surreal driving from subzero temperatures into pure sunshine, oranges, fish, one of my favorite memories was staying up late shit talking people on the CB's and getting genuine reaction.
in the south I guess some of the drivers during the early 2000s couldnt read in some cases so to communicate wether or not the state weight gates were open they would say
"Big Word is out." on the CBs to communicate "Closed"
"Little word is out." on the CBs to communicate "Open"
as to if the weightgates on the interstates we're open or closed
a courtesy to truckers to let them know if they have to deal with govt pricks lol weighing and inspecting but I guess that's what we get for letting them tax and regulate us illegally.
Roger that. 10-4 good buddy. C'mon through
I want a CB again! Love back in the day my dad would sit up till all hours and talk to other dudes!
Trucker clock, whooooo wants it?!
Tech will unfurl another signal that envelopes the frequency as a digital network making analog radio without a clear function. 5G?
No doubt they have a "kill" signal that would smoke most currently produced transceivers but there's still A LOT of old "tank" radios that didn't say...
Device may not cause harmful interference Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. ... However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
TY for the clarity. IEEE/FCC aside(pending mankinds paradigm shift); regarding the features of the radio transceiver, could modern technology gleam any useful technical insight into the cymatic/radio/vibrational++ interactions of a species through clusters of it/s neural network (brains) via DNA/RNA(transcription)and Cosmic effects like our local star(The Sun)? *sry for convolution
