Setting up "The Net"

[swamprat]

Roger. I completely agree that there should be a list of Freqs that the colonist should have so when they are in a particular state, the colonist could start transmitting on that freq to make connection with other colony members. Not sure if those freqs should be placed into this forum, but emailed or snail mailed for OPSEC.

My thoughts is to have 5 base freqs

NorthWest
SouthWest
NorthEast
Southeast
Central

This would be the SHTF freqs so everyone in the respected areas will be on the same page.


Thoughts?

I'm all for this as mentioned at the start of this thread. What region are you in "Rat?" If you have a rig we could PM and pick a freq, try a comm check if you're ready to get started.

Yes, a 15 month necropost.

Nephew Norbert (NSA goon, similar to the FCC's Uncle Charlie) is pretty much able to get any email he wants. So I would NOT suggest sending frq lists via email.

The expensive notion of sending such lists Priority Mail is about the best I can come up with for secure, shy of being able to hand it off face to face.

Interesting notion of divvying up the place. For the lower 48, the geographic center of the US is in NW Kansas, I think. Use about a 300 mile radius for the Central, and then quarter off the rest.

Technician license being the lowest common denominator for today's hams, I suggest freq lists in all the allocated bandwidths for that license. I don't have them on tap at this moment, but I know there is more than just 70 cm and 2m. And I'd recommend more than one frq per band, just in case.

Newly derived from the ARRL's amateur band plan, the allocated voice frequencies for the Technician license.

HF band

10 meters 28.3-28.5 MHz

*Note: Single Side Band only

VHF band

1.25 Meters 222.0 - 225.0 MHz
2 Meters 144.0 - 148.0 MHz
6 Meters 50.1 - 54.0 MHz

UHF band

70 cm 420.0 - 450.0 MHz
33 cm 902.0 - 928.0 MHz
23 cm 1240.0 - 1300.0 MHz

I hope this helps. It has done wonders weeding for me on flea-bay. (Would have had a Icom 2100 three days ago there, but for some miserable bid-sniper, probably a shill, in the last forty seconds)

I think that would work. I have saw on other forums a list of freqs for SHTF use so all folks could know where to go. Not a bad idea, but I'm not sure I want to rely or trust my life on that list. I would feel much better having set up freqs with folks I know and trust. Even if it's just talking to them on here.

I am in north central, aka Wisconsin. Still awaiting my rib cord so I can install the freqs. I am also studying for my ham license as the earliest the test is Oct here

Try the eham.com web site, it has a great test bank. I'm going for my general in august. Are you sure you can't find another place to take the exam earlier? Try the Red Cross maybe? Just a thought......I'm sure we'll be able to connect once you're up and running. I have had excellent comms in that area.

Nice find Bob. I'm a member on that forum but wasn't aware of the Amrronn. Very cool. Looks like a lot of topics to pick from.

[idahobob]

Hope ya listen to Radio Free Redoubt on Sunday evenings. Even though it originates in my part of the country, it is very informative, and has information that applies to all of us.
