I’ve been a Ham Operator since 1976, hold an Amateur Extra and a Commercial radio license. Also ran a Navy/Marine Corp MARS station out of my home for 19 years.
Hams are the best emergency communication systems in time of disaster. I don’t know a single Ham Operator that is a criminal.
This is the dumbest -warning- I have ever read.

Have been a ham radio operator, Extra Class, for over 30 years. Completely agree. The government has been overthrown and we now have a totalitarian government run by Democrats. I posted several times some time ago that the FEDERAL AGENCIES were the problem. Few responded or paid attention. I told all of you.
It’s a warning that we are now in charge and will crush you, arrest you, and put you in federal prison......
Done only for intimidation purposes.....
Same reason there is 26K troops plus 5K Law Enforcement in DC....we are in charge and have the guns...
So, Ms. Enforcer Karen at our FCC (previously a journalist, then a lawyer = femi-leftist) is trying to scare us off of 2-way radios, after her ilk has fomented CWII.
I imagine radio sales and license applications have skyrocketed over the last couple years, paralleling gun and ammo sales.
Government leftists are scared. As they should be.
Balderdash! I'll bet every dollar I have at least a hundred thousand are committing thoughts crimes right this very moment.
I’m sure there’s a federal agency looking for ways to compromise the ionosphere.
Or mess with the sunspot cycle.
I’ve been a ham for 50 years, and just bought a Yeti Zero with solar charging ability. I won’t be cut off from communicating, unless they block the sun
