Several leftist cities enacted "emergency noise pollution bans" so as to prevent large patriotic fireworks displays. LA is the latest, with ban enacted two days ago.
My neighbor called at 0315 hours in a panic. Said her daughter was coming to visit and "all flights are grounded!". She's the retired widowed gal living on next farm over from me and spends lots of time visiting me. Anyway, I got on computer and figured out that SouthWest has big problems. Their story is "network connection difficulties". But, I'm thinking this is a takedown of them, and bits and pieces will be released over next few days. My conspiracy and chicanery antenna is up!
Freeband 11 Meter Frequencies and Bands
Most freeband operators use AM mode below CB channel 1 - the lower bands and SSB above CB channel 40 - the higher bands. There are several exceptions to this "gentleman's rule" however.
While some export radios - sold as 10 meter radios - often cover frequencies above and below the 25.615-28.305 MHz range, that is the de facto "standard" export band alphanumeric plan. Generally the CB band is band "D" or the "mid band". On 120-channel radios, coverage is generally limited to 26.515-27.855 MHz or 26.065-27.405 MHz, depending on the model. Modern Chinese export radios cover 25.615-30.105 MHz to include all of the 10 meter band and frequencies above it.
25.615-26.055 MHz - Band A - often used by taxi cabs and trucking companies (AM mode in the Americas, AM or FM elsewhere)
25.835 MHz AM - CB channel 19 "down three bands" - truckers are often heard here
26.065-26.505 MHz - Band B - often used by taxi cabs, trucking companies and hunting clubs
26.225 MHz USB - Latin American SSB activity
26.285 MHz USB - 26 MHz international calling frequency (commonly used in Europe)
26.285 MHz AM - CB channel 19 "down two bands" - truckers are often heard here

26.515-26.955 MHz - Band C - "low band" or "lowers" all sorts of users, AM in the Americas, AM, FM and SSB elsewhere
26.515 MHz AM - active in southern USA
26.555 MHz LSB - very active in Mexico and Central/South America (and Caribbean)

26.715 MHz AM - alternate to 26.705 MHz
26.725 MHz AM - alternate to 26.705 MHz and 26.715 MHz
26.735 MHz AM - CB channel 19 "down one band" - truckers are often heard here (see also 27.635 MHz)
26.755 MHz AM - Often active in southern USA + every 10 kHz to 26.955 MHz
26.885 MHz AM - alternate to 26.915 MHz, others
26.905 MHz AM - alternate to 26.915 MHz, others
26.915 MHz AM - Big radios USA "915" channel 36 down one band, AM DX channel
26.965-27.405 MHz - Band D - legal CB band - "mid band", "FCC band" or "CEPT" band
27.415-27.855 MHz - Band E - "high band" or "uppers", mixture of SSB, AM and FM (FM rarely used in North or South America)
27.410 MHz LSB - Often used for SSB in the USA, can suffer from interference or QRM from AM stations on 27.405 MHz (CB channel 40)
27.415 MHz LSB - US calling/working frequencies (channels +5 kHz, 27.420 MHz, 27.425 MHz, 27.430 MHz, and so on, usually in LSB mode)
27.455 MHz USB - Latin American calling frequency (see also 26.555 MHz LSB) - Spanish language
27.505 MHz LSB - "Channel 50" - US freebanders
27.515 MHz LSB - Jamaica and Caribbean calling/DX frequency "The Knight Patrol"
27.555 MHz USB - international 11 meter DX calling frequency
27.60125 MHz FM - begin UK FM 27/81 CB allocation, 10 kHz steps to 27.99125 MHz
27.635 MHz USB - digital modes found here in Europe (ROS, PSK31), see also 27.235 MHz and 27.245 MHz
27.635 MHz AM - CB channel 19 "up one band" - truckers are often heard here (see also 26.735 MHz, 28.085 MHz, 25.835 MHz, 26.285 MHz, etc)
27.665 MHz USB - Spanish language common frequencies + 5 kHz USB/LSB to 27.705 MHz or higher
27.700 MHz USB - international 11 meter SSTV frequency
27.735 MHz USB - international 11 meter SSTV frequency (alternate, also digital SSTV)
27.775 MHz AM - sometimes AM signals are heard on this frequency and higher during band openings, often taxi dispatchers, etc
27.855 MHz AM - High band channel 40 - popular with trucking companies and taxi cabs
27.855-28.305 MHz - Band F - up to 27.995 MHz (channel 11A) popular with taxicabs and truckers, although truckers are often heard above 28.000 MHz it is strongly advised that freebanders stay below 28 MHz
Interdasting article on Faux-news today about "Right-Wing Extremists" and the "Boogaloo Movement". Describes them as Militia organization who target corrupt law enforcement personnel. They wear Hawaiian Shirts so as to recognize each other.
Gee, what's next? Secret handshakes and doing the Dap?
There was an aircraft crash near Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada just a few hours ago. The USAF is being very closed-mouthed about it, saying only that "... a contractor operated aircraft has crashed...". Pilot evidently killed in crash. No other information thus far.
I had the "Frank" placeholder icon saved and it now changed and login required registration of a telephone number. Time to go to the pajeet store for one of them special phones bought with cash, wearing a face mask, floppy hat and cammies.
Just noticed this.
Looks like after the big-wigs said to use Signal, the Signal system repeatedly crashed and communication links failed bigly... probably be back up in 24-48 hours unless it's a deliberate take-down by government.
Pirate Radio on 1,795 kHz with Interdasting Songs: It played Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day"; then Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone"; then The Who "We Won't Be Fooled Again"; then played music from "2001 - A Space Odyssey". Then after Sousa's The Stars and Stripes Forever", went off the air. I imagine somebody with an old AM Ham transmitter did it. Really weak, right above noise level.
Read the lyrics to this first three songs to figure out a possible message.
Bomb expert says the RV Bomb was a thermobaitric fuel-air explosive device.
