I'm getting back into it now
I have legit no experience in any of this stuff, but i feel its important and i need to learn it
everyone whos a prepper should be a ham radio operator
not only is does it give you a way to practice a very important skill, but theres a ton of preppers on ham radio and you could network with them locally
we need some amatuer radio operator nutjob to open up an apocalypse radio on the AM shortwaves
160m is full of preppers and crazy people
Oh frick I'm a wanna be "prepper" and I might not be crazy but I've been called a paranoid asshole, unfortunately I'm also poor and shit so....
I only have 2 and 6 m <:pinkwojak:673420781182779442> <:pinkwojak:673420781182779442>
Fuck I should have take my General already
I went to channel 160 and there ain't shit
I think I'm the only one prepped for the boog in my vicinity
I keep finding channels where I get full bars and it's just white noise
rolled right back around and none of my channels are populated but the NOAA one
smh
at least on uhf
what you think 160m means?
Is it 160 meter?
I'm big brainlet on the ham and getting a license means going out to cironaland
yeah
Its the length of one full oscilation
1hz is one light year
2hz is half a light year
and so forth
Wifi is 12.5cm
@Reveretneon no, the high frequency is lower wavelength
You're
Right
I was thinking of 160cm
Recommend ant for Beofeng ur5v? Keep seeing Nagoya 771 but there’s a lot of random name 771 fakery on eBay and Amazon
UV-5r no longer fool proof recommendation due to price doubling recently in the aftermath of coronavirus
and that guide is missleading
d
got mine 2 years back, 3 with pgm cable, extended battery packs and PTT with earpiece / mic boom (total airsoft larp but whatever) - still has the stock antenna on.
actually its this one
i have a 771 on mine, it's really long so the transeiver falls over a lot
HAM radio
