Really just stay off of the HAM channels and don't pisss off the boomer hams and you won't have issues.
I've read that the boomer hams are like fudds on steroids
@[TX]YimYam ordered. Hyped to learn comms not gonna lie
The emilitia podcast had an episode about ham radio, and they talked a bit about the fudd hams
Reality is they are mostly pretty cool, just spurgy
It is pretty cool to be able to talk to people around the world depending on what frequencies you use
And the HF guys are nuts, some of those antennas take up a whole yard and signal depends on space weather and shit
It was pretty cool learning about the history of it though. Basically a bunch of nerds slapping shit together in their sheds and seeing what worked. Supposedly ham was a slur used by professional radio and telegraph operators
Yep, the original tech rebels
ironic considering they're all about rules now
Kinda....
It's really only more about keeping the idiots away
Honestly you could make up a callsign and nobody would really know if you pretended right
My friend told me a story about when his friend was piss drunk fucking with a ham radio getting on the police frequencies yelling whiskey jack!! Officer down!! And some volunteer firefighters beat his ass lmao
Yeah, that was a lie
Good story though you should have heard it
Ham frequencies and police frequencies aren't the same and especially these days the police don't use standard UHF
It’s fun being a volunteer firefighter til you gotta get up like 18 times cause some meth head wants to call and then refuse treatment when you get there
I mean he's old as dirt it could have been 30 years ago for all i know
@TheClassyRandom oof, right
Our chief basically said fuck em no point in going if they’re gonna keep refusing treatment
We have mostly dope heads around here, give them narc an and they just wanna act like they are fine
So far we haven’t had to use narcan
I'm on the east coast in the hotbed of it
In rural America dopeheads everywhere.
Louisiana here
These commie idiots give them places to shoot up around here
Yeah I saw that. I was like the hell is going on over there.
They get to have fun. I'm jealous I respect myself too much to join in
Commiefornia is the first place we’re gonna have to take back honestly
Break legs and shit just to get morphine and oxys prescribed here
It’s ridiculous
Just load the fault lines with tactical nukes and send them on their way
Well that’s another question but how are we gonna get tac nukes and it’s almost time to go frogging 🤤
Anyone know anything about using CHIRP or other alternatives to conventional localized internet data networks? Does it have a limited range, do I need a license? I currently still use flashdrives as part of a sneaker network, but it's a hassle. I don't trust VPNs or TOR, it's all shady and never 100% secure
I thought TOR was pretty solid as long as you don’t log into stuff or have it full screen. Apparently that’s how they got DPR
Im running Surfshark VPN, would also like to know
The problem with TOR as far as I know is that you have to connect to a node which could be compromised. I have heard that using a VPN plus TOR helps.
But the vpn owner can track you
