Next time I hear someone saying they rely on #starlink for #backup or #emergency communications, I will show them this. Not the first time #elonmusk has threatened to withdraw a service when in a #tantrum. Don'y rely on services from children. #emcomms #civildefence #amateurradio

If we all had a $40 radio, and set up a relay every so many miles, we could have a chain of emcomms across the country - no license needed.

I'll chuck this out there again for the weekday #amateurradio & #Hamradio people.
Some research I am doing on EmComms and resillience. Is there a place for Radio Amateurs in the UK?
RAYNET is the oldest and probably best known group, but there are others.

A question for my UK #amateurradio friends, for something I am researching.
RAYNET, what are your thoughts?
Are you or have you been a member?
Is it still relevant in the UK? I know in the US, things like ARES are sill used a lot.
and anything else you might like to throw in to the discussion.

Apparently Sam's gotten himself in trouble with my mother.
He's been camped up there for the past few weeks as I've had horse endurance rides and other emcomms events which meant he'd otherwise be frequently carted back and forth between The Gap and Strathpine … he really doesn't like car trips […]

me, on getting my 2E0: OMG I'm going to recrystal these pagers for 144.65!
me, today: Younger Me was an idiot. 144.8 would have been a better pick, that's APRS... 144.65 is a RAYNET emcomms frequency.
