That’s sounds like an awesome plan, Nimrod, but you can’t have a network without a connection. Good luck with that.
2 cans and a piece of string are a connection. You can do physics with that. Length=lambda/2.
Perhaps for two gerbils but I need more than that to connect to the rest of the world.
I can’t do squats with that. I can’t even understand what I’m reading there. lambda/2?
lambda is twice the length of something
see?
it’s greek
you hold a greek letter in each hand
maybe strap one to your ankles
and do squats
squat on that
my facemask says “trump won”
there is no date on it
but how much proof do you need?
BC just extended our restrictions past Feb 5 (the putative end date). No end date set this time.
You know what’s keeping me sane in this stupid locked down city? Ham radio. The clubs are all super active, the nets are busy every night, and I get all the human interaction I want on radio. I am building an iGate using a Raspberry Pi 4 with an SDR radio. It’s good. It’s no substitution for meeting friends for a few drinks but it’s a whole lot better than nothing. I’m starting to feel at home here again.
I also note that the ultimate emergency preparedness is knowing a few dozen people in your area who are predisposed to help you if they can in an emergency, and who you are predisposed to help if you can. Local ham clubs give you that. It’s a bonus that you can communicate with them off-grid.
You sound like you are either living in I Am Legend or The Strain.
I’m just working on metal body discipline and feral instincts. No prepping nothing else. If things go for the worst, hopefully I get a breakthrough.
That and telepathy. Maybe you should work on subliminal messages and have a code phrase people can speak to you.
Sounds well in theory, but from personal experience it doesn’t work so well. Maybe you really do have the right group with the mindset who took the extra step to get the license and have an interest in it as a hobby and spend money on equipment.
But just remember that. Your main goal here is to make your self seem special and make others jealous. And you tend to ignore people because of feelings about sexual dysfunction. The equipment is useless unless others are cooperative and responsive and it will affect your thinking. Especially when you realize you cannot actually operate it. Even worse when you have no visual, no hearing, and cannot even speak.

Not to the point I keep repeating to myself I am too important. Try devaluing yourself rather than me.
Have you gotten a giggle and request to repeat last transmission 6 or more times? O r just people not wanting to respond because “it doesn’t sound like you”.
That’s the effect of radio. Find some way to use it other than communication with others.
try sane comments fatso.

Here is how radio works. Big Moo is experiencing a hurricane and goes outside to load and get gas for his truck and the generator and supplies to board up the house and prepare for flooding despite evacuation warnings. He takes his handheld radio and tells his wife to monitor his base set at home. He gets into mechanical trouble and can’t get cell reception and most people have left town. He tries the radio but can’t seem to get through. Resourceful as he is Big Moo is able to get the truck running again. Also the formula and electrolyte drink for his granddaughter.
When he comes home he asks his wife if she heard him at all. She replies “No” just loud static. Big Moo tries his hand held and hears nothing. Furious he stomps over to the base set and checks the volume which was apparently set to zero. He begins shouting at his wife she was told to monitor the radio and be read to pick him up if anything went wrong, that he had precious supplies for the baby and could have had a heart attack or encountered looters. He begins beating his wife senselessly. She begs him to stop and says yes, she turned the volume down to hear the baby in the other room. This makes Big Moo even more furious for her disobeying him to never touch the volume he sets and he beats her even worse ignoring the infant’s cries for thirst and warmth.
Big Moo’s wife finally passes out. Big Moo begins comforting the baby which comforts himself about his actions. He then tries his base set again and is surprised the volume is turned down to zero not recalling if he did it himself or if he saw his wife try to show him something about the volume when he was shouting. Big Moo also notice how easily the volume dial knob slides off and how the plastic mold for the metal insert has been warped from over turning the knob.
Big Moo begins thinking he may have turned the volume to zero himself and his wife admitted she did it just to stop the beating and protect the infant. He also realizes the possibility of the knob not turning the metal insert when he adjusted the volume. Moo also begins wondering if somebody snuck into the home and purposely tampered with the knob knowing it would cause this argument and outcome.
It doesn’t look like Big Moo’s wife is waking up and Big Moo begins shaking the baby on his knee more violently and desperate to stop it’s crying and his own.
You seriously took time out of your life to compose and post that?
Surprised you read it so fast. It is as almost you were reading as I typed it.
I skimmed it. It was really not an intelligent post, Mark.
told you he’s nuts
You are starting to sound like you are being tossed to and fro.
Not a good thing unless you are armed. I wouldn’t even give out my location if I were you. There are lots of guys with ham radio handhelds like you but they also have a collection of carbines amongst other things.
Don’t act too focused here like you are better than anyone. With what you have and others do, you aren’t.
This carries farther to me than your radio…because to me it is radio! And for arms…forearms! Just lots of gold.
You should work on what you are when they take your toys away!
Do you pick this up?
