Ham radio Qs

And once you have a tech license, study and upgrade to general.
Tech is not too mathy, it’s easy to pass and then you do most of your learning hands-on.

“Q has been dark for 31 days. At times Q strategically goes dark for days/weeks/months. Often when Q is dark major MIL/MILINT ops are occurring behind the scenes. Do not mistake silence for inaction. Great time to (re)read old drops. Enjoy the show.”

Got the books and electronics background. In case everything goes down I would like to find some news without scanning a million frequencies. Where can I find frequencies of national and world news?

[TexasGunLover]

Most ended broadcasting I’m the early 2000’s.

Time for pirate radio. MAGA Radio off a Trump Yacht

The higher class licenses are not as easy to get. But easier now than they once were when Morse was required. I am a coded Amateur Extra - AF5LO.

As to transceivers, eBay has a ton. For HF, many good ones from the big three: Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu. The main thing is a good antenna, which in studying for the exams you will learn a lot about. Even for deed restricted homes, there are many clandestine antennas you can build.

I predict the rise again of pirate radio on shortwave.

Would the/Could the FCC block or ban conservative news from ham radio frequencies or is it pretty much the wild west?

For $400 you can buy a new Xiegu G90 which is a 20 watt HF radio (HF provides up to worldwide propagation by reflecting off the ionosphere) and for $1000 you can guy any of several popular 100 watt radios that will do so more of the time because higher power means a greater chance of being heard. This is an oversimplification just to bracket the cost for you. An antenna is required and can be as inexpensive as $20-50 if you make it yourself using materials from the hardware store. But more importantly is you need to have a license, which means studying for an exam, and that in itself is important because ham radio is not like making a phone call. It’s more like fishing where your results are proportional to your knowledge.

But it is a mode of communication that can be done from anywhere, using battery or emergency power if needed, with no infrastructure. Your radio, a wire strung in a tree, and a power source is what you need, in addition to the knowledge of how to use it.

This is Radio MAGA on pirate satellite

I am a licensed Ham radio operator and the answer to your question is YES. I/we can transmit to local, in same state, country and world wide to other LICENSED operators, all depending on the frequency, time of day, conditions of the ionosphere and troposphere. The sun plays a major role in communication. For the last several years the sun has been in what was called a solar minimum, very few sunspots, which was not good for long distance communication. The cycle has bottomed out and is not starting the upward climb to a solar maximum. Its an 11 year cycle, it will take 5-6 years to reach maximum the start to fade again.
I have made contacts worldwide from my home in East Texas, the farthest being to Indonesia (10,072 miles) as well as local (50-100 miles). There are numerous modes of operation and frequencies from HF High Frequency, VHF and UHF as well as some microwave

First thing you need to do is become licensed.

[mountainlion]

I suppose I will be stuck with Fox and PBS if the internet goes down.

[gundog]

Don’t be put off by the licensing process. Pretty easy, with on-line tutorials. If you’re ultra-paranoid, being licensed does allow the Feds to inspect your set-up if problems arise...like interfering with other things. And you broadcast your call sign, so you can be doxxed to the Fed Ham database. Sounds like you’re more interested in receiving than transmitting.

If you look into the licensing, you can find an “Elmer”...an experienced mentor. You’ll likely get gear catalogs in the mail before you receive your license.

best to get an sdr with a falling raster wideband display and just see who is out there.\

make a log, sdr software does that
