Ah, this man has the answer to "What's the frequency, Kenneth?".

Yes I do. 7.178kHz at 23:30 Zulu daily.

It is my understanding that all broadcast stations have been retro-fitted with a control box interface, hard wired to the regional EAS system, so the EAS has priority to override. Any attempt to remove or defeat the override renders the equipment non-functional. It is no longer in the station engineers control at all. Any group attempting to seize control and get a message out will have non-functioning equipment.

You can defeat it if you have the technical skill and the time to study it, just take the box out of the circuit and restore the circuit to the transmitter. Never underestimate the ability for people to hotwire things.

This has been done for several years now and has been posted on FR. When the time comes to keep Americans from communicating with each other, it can be done. Any radio transmissions from Amateur Radio Operators or CBers will be dealt with as needed. You can’t jam an entire continent - I think...

I'm an amateur radio operator myself and we could resort to that, best thing to remember is keep moving and keep transmissions short and have a code. Same with CB.

Thank you sir and I am aware. I hold a tech+ license but my concern is restriction of movement or travel as “transitions” are made. Also, if the confiscation of equipment is in the works, they know where we live. The software has been in use for some time to identify transceivers by each individual and unique key-up fingerprint. This has come in handy for repeater stations to identify dead key-ups and those who just keep activating for whatever reason. Once the operator gives the call sign for legitimate use, bingo.

The military can fix location of a vhf/uhf transmitter in milliseconds when active in the field with one airborne detector, with precise co-ordinates. I don’t know how they triangulate. Perhaps satellites are involved? Worse case scenario, a small missile can be directed to the GPS co-ordinates. Of course, they may have more pressing engagements to consider besides local communications. Ain’t modern technology grand?

Don't laugh. I'll bet the market will be going through the roof. I am looking into it myself.

I have several. I like my Grundig G6 Aviator (Buzz Aldrin edition), it is the size of a cigarette pack and I was able to receive an amateur radio operator on 10 meters from Alberta Canada using the whip antenna alone and running on 2 NiMH "AA" batteries. I also picked up a simulcast of an Oregon AM station on 25,950 kc during the day. I would recommends everyone to get an SW radio and even a police scanner.

In normal circumstances and a real American in the White House, this would be no big deal.

Given who obama is, it causes a lot of suspicion.

He has shown over and over again that he has no loyalty to this country or it’s people.

We all better be planning on meeting somewhere we can defend. Strength in numbers will save us, and we can claim a part of the US as ours, enforce the borders, and after the rest of the country dissolves into anarchy, we can just step up and reclaim it.

I hope this test isn’t code-named ECOMCON ...

I hope you all know what that is ...

Yeah, and when I read about stakeholders, the image of a bunch of people standing above Dracula's coffin ready to plunge them in comes to mind. That's probably not what the author was thinking about.

Thanks for the metaphor. I'll have to bring it up at our next project meeting if and when somebody mentions that word.

Something along the lines of "I'll get the hammer. Do you have some stakes?"

Greetings sjmjax:

Concur with your assessment defining the difference between a test and a demonstration. Leaves me wondering who’s the intended audience anyway?

Consider the fire alarm system. Tests occur during off hours. One only conducts drills with operational equipment during normal business hours. Nothing erodes user confidence faster than equipment failure, compliments of an untested system. Bush’s fault? LOL.

This event will be interesting, to say the least. My employer’s student broadcast station will participate, and I’ll observe. No doubt all of our “studies” majors will consider this event, no matter the outcome, part of a grand conspiracy.

Cheers,
OLA

The short version is that on Feb. 20th, 1971, an operator who worked at NORAD named W. S. Eberhardt loaded a tape into the teletype transmitting system to be sent out for the usual Saturday morning test. Problem is, it wasn’t the test tape...it was an actual attack warning, with the proper authentication codes and everything. It went out to everyone who had an Associated Press or United Press International teletype machine.

A bunch of stations did as they were supposed to and went off the air. Another bunch of stations tried to verify the message, some ignored the message entirely, and some didn’t even GET the message. To make matters worse, even though all stations were supposed to have the authenticator words in envelopes in the studio, some opened their envelopes and found nothing at all.

It was an embarrassment for NORAD, but a giant failure for the EBS system. They made some changes, but didn’t re-vamp the system until the advent of the EAS a few years ago.

To read an eyewitness account, do a search for “The Great EBS Goof of 1971”.

Does this surprise you? Like my initial post said, if it is electronic...the government has control of it at some level. They may not use it, but they have the ability to do so...at any time they desire.

There is much more going on than many of us will ever understand.

9/11...11/9....huh?

If Iran we about to launch a massive attack, and all those CTs have some basis of validity, what dates might be convenient milestones to watch?

Every day it seems I validate myself as a conspiracy nutcase! LOL. As we come to realize the awesome power the government can wield over us and over our communication system, one must ponder why such a thing even exists? Yes, the standard answer to monitoring potential terrorists and extremists comes to mind. But, in the case in this article...it is not to monitor, it is to broadcast.

I recall on 9/11 how this system was NOT activated. Why not? We were all already watching it unfold on TV? I live in Cleveland and we had one of those planes, with a real struggle happening, turn around right over our very heads. Cleveland evacuated, but there was not an EAS signal to do so. Why not? The retired military person, who was President of the company I worked for, didn't follow the ‘order to evacuate,’ why not?

So why all this emergency EAS testing on systems and nationwide when we won't use it? November 9th is exactly one year and a day before the second Tuesday in November 2012. Election Day. If elections were this year they would be on Nov. 8th. Coincidence?

Now on another thread nearly a week ago...I mentioned that these kids at OWS with their crazy manifesto were not thinking for themselves. Look into EM Brainwashing and the article I posted on the thread from last week. The ‘human microphone’ has nothing to do with being heard. Keep in mind how ‘wired’ our kids are. Read the education article linked at the bottom of this post. The kids have already been programmed to do this and accept the ‘prompts.’ There is a reason we are finding out the leaders are upper level communists.

So to all those FReepers who think we won't have elections in 2012 or are worried we won't rest assured we will. But be very concerned about the day after ...no matter who wins.

It hit me that there may be a significance to the date.

Nov 9 was kristallnacht ! Anyone know anything else attached to the date? Any Islamic significance ?
