Have the fascists dismantled the FCC yet? 'Cause if nobody's looking, after all, there's still some space on the FM dial for some unauthorized public radio.

@benda 146.520 is now the national karaoke frequency.

Public

@autumn @benda I don't pick up much activity on that band

@benda @autumn have you looked into / are you interested in two-way radio comms outside the sad-ham milieu?

Public

@clawfulneutral @benda All I know is that we need to queer up the airwaves one way or another. I rarely turn on my radios anymore 'cause it seems like so much of a sour vibe now.

Public

@autumn @clawfulneutral oh you're not a fan of older right wing doom-prepper men talking about creepy shit? lol

Public

@clawfulneutral @autumn interested sure, have not looked into.

@benda @autumn okay just checking, lol. I’ve done a bunch of legwork on figuring out how to program cheap Chinese walkie-talkies to be usable with a bunch of other US two-way radios, but that’s not the exact topic of the thread so I won’t infodump. I’m happy to share info though. having such a device could be an important edge in a lot of different scenarios.

@autumn Arr matey, pirate radio!

Low power FM isn't even illegal. I read an article about low power FM equipment being cheap because so many churches bought the equipment to do drive-in church services during Covid.

@autumn AM, too!

@vwestlife for sure!
