If FR goes down, let us gather at the river.
14.295 on 20 meters. 3.999 on 75 meters. Also, since FR hams are among the more advanced, 60 meters, Channel One or 5.3305.
- 73 - & See ya when "it" starts.
No worries, I bet Jim’s got a couple bunge cords or a hank of rope handy!
For those of us who aren’t in the loop of whatever you’re talking about, we can use the Yahoo Group “freerepublic2” to get updates. There is also a Free Republic group on Facebook.

When “it” starts, you can work the radio, I consider myself to be somewhat of an amateur armorer, I’ll work my arms.
Used it the other day when FR went down. Glad we are back up. I was in withdrawl!
Thanks for the info. I SWL all the time (Sony ICF-2010). I’ll tune in.
By the way, it is mind boggling to listen to the HAM stations and all that you guys know about radio. Truly mind-blowing. If I had some extra time and money, I would definitely pick it up as a hobby. For now, I’ll just have to content myself trying to perfect the long-wire antenna and listening in.
I know what you mean. I was gasping, short of breath, the walls were closing in. I was surrounded .... by liberals!
Why do these system problems always happen during FR fundraisers? This is not a rare occurence during the freepathons. As a matter of fact, anyone who reads FR regularly knows that to be true.
Maybe there’s a glitch in the fundraiser thread or links.
Get a copy of “The Dummies Guide to Ham Radio” — one of those black and yellow books. Amazon has ‘em for $10 or so. You’ll find it’s not as hard as it once was.
...and to “exnavy,” I operate those items you mentioned as well. Rest assured.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a read.
I’m thinking about when Barry turns it ALL off because it has nothing pleasant to say from his point of view. Ham radio is infra-structure independent. 73
Understood, Godspeed.
I think this guys point was not only FR going down, but the entire internet. If that is the case, then the yahoo group will be worthless as well.
How does one connect to the Facebook FR section?
“we can use the Yahoo Group “freerepublic2””
I signed up for that about 10 years ago but i’ve never been able to get into it again.
“Why do these system problems always happen during FR fundraisers?”
Hint!
Pay up or Freerepublic might just disapear!!
THANKS MUCH.
