According to The National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL), elements of the US Department of Defense (DOD) will simulate a “communications interoperability” training exercise across the United States on November 04-06. The announcement released on October 24 has not been widely distributed to the media, because the drill is simulating a total grid collapse and could spark public fear.

Hmmm, interesting this exercise will coincide during the time of the Anti-fah protests.

Hmmm, interesting this exercise will coincide during the time Trumpy is visiting Asia (November 3-14)...including Korea.

Hmmm, interesting this exercise will coincide during the time 3 aircraft carriers will be patrolling Korean waters...and after NOK threatened to use an EMP bomb against the US.

Communications Interoperability Training with Amateur Radio Community Set
10/24/2017

Elements of the US Department of Defense (DOD) will conduct a “communications interoperability” training exercise November 4-6, once again simulating a “very bad day” scenario. Amateur Radio and MARS organizations will take part.

“This exercise will begin with a national massive coronal mass ejection event which will impact the national power grid as well as all forms of traditional communication, including landline telephone, cellphone, satellite, and Internet connectivity,” Army MARS Program Manager Paul English, WD8DBY, explained in an announcement.

During the exercise, a designated DOD Headquarters entity will request county-by-county status reports for the 3,143 US counties and county equivalents, in order to gain situational awareness and to determine the extent of impact of the scenario. Army and Air Force MARS organizations will work in conjunction with the Amateur Radio community, primarily on the 60-meter interoperability channels as well as on HF NVIS frequencies and local VHF and UHF, non-Internet linked Amateur Radio repeaters.

Again this year, a military station on the east coast and the Fort Huachuca, Arizona, HF station will conduct a high-power broadcast on 60-meter channel 1 (5330.5 kHz) on Saturday from 0300 to 0315 UTC. New this year will be an informational broadcast on Sunday, on 13,483.5 kHz USB from 1600 to 1615 UTC. Amateur Radio operators should monitor these broadcasts for more information about the exercise and how they can participate in this communications exercise, English said.

“We want to continue building on the outstanding cooperative working relationship with the ARRL and the Amateur Radio community,” English said. “We want to expand the use of the 60-meter interop channels between the military and amateur community for emergency communications, and we hope the Amateur Radio community will give us some good feedback on the use of both the 5-MHz interop and the new 13-MHz broadcast channels as a means of information dissemination during a very bad day scenario.

Guess it is time to be friends with someone that is an Amateur Radio Operator, their resources and abilities will be very valuable when the shit hits the fan.

Still time to learn the basics

So what do you think will happen..?

Ahh, you know the normal stuff. Certain neighborhoods will be buzzed with low flying aircraft including copters and drones, a few highways will be blocked with traffic control points manned by Military Police--detouring drivers to go a hundred or so miles out of their way, of course there will be a bunch of civilians who will be ordered away from home so they can play "army" for the weekend, and...preppers will think shit is going down with some "bugging out"...you know the normal stuff.

Moral of the story will always be the same: The heroes will be a world wide network of CIVILIAN amateur radio operators that know each other "over the wire"...but never met face to face. They are "old school" and "low tech".

BTW, the ones I know are mostly 4th Amendment fundamentalists and very proud of their radio gear...but, are easily pissed off when cannabis growers use cheap ballasts that emit RFI. That radio interference fucks up their clear reception and with a cheap portable AM radio--it is real easy to locate the offending grower in their neighborhood by just walking around. Having a ballast that emits RFI is like having a big neon sign with an arrow pointing to your door that says "I GROW POT"....lol.

Why do you hope that?

[shithawk420]

Because they are irrational crybabies that don't know a thing about anything and they need a good wake-up call.

[bestothebest]

The kind of protesting they do is not what a protest should be like. From what I have seen from an antifa protest, it is mainly them trying to piss everyone else off.

Anti-fah vs US Military....wonder what the Vegas spread is?
