Something Just Went BEZERK in the Gulf of Mexico. The US Navy just sunk a French Submarine

Do EMPs affect Ham/shortwave???
Anyone know?? Seems like what I have read, it does.

Man, my shortwave is 200 miles away from me at the moment.


Ok just got off the phone with ARRL, the national association for Amateur Radio™
1) YES, EMP's will affect all electronics. Older stuff (ie: radios w tubes) they think might still work.
2) #1 being said for emergency two things that will keep you in the loop with info are a scanner (local level info) and a SW radio WITH sideband
3) local Ham operators can be o-o-led in your neck of the woods. Some are involved with ARRL and some are not. ARRL is into emergency operations.


as an a side, when I asked about EMP's this well versed gentleman's I was speaking with said with a very concerned voice "Why do you think something bad is going to happen?"

More as I find it...

WOW, 1221, that's great info! Is a sideband an option to select any station as opposed to preset stations? And what does o-o-led mean? No surprise about older technology working. Wish I had one of those puppies!

here i go again
playing lawyer again

i have to make you privy to this
filename (as sent to me): rimhighway12

it is most probably a sat picture (must be)

please help identify the markings

BEZRKERS pull your socks up on this one
it was sent to my mail by an unknown sender (i guess he must of noticed it when i posted it about 50pgs back

Very intriguing image dhlos!! If you zoom in on those boxes you get more detail, but I still can't figure out what it is.



The image is titled 'rim highway'



Does "rim highway 1 and 2" work?

no wonder I have 4,000 bookmarks

Note that Hams were the only ones getting any information out and there were distinct efforts to jam their signals. There were many complaints in the Ham radio papers resulting in some of the ham radio frequencies being re-allocated to UPS (the brown truck people)

dhlos, clouds and the shadows of clouds. You're not thinking nuke are you? They're pretty unusual clouds.

Wow thats interesting. If level 3 went down it would take everything else with it, i would think.


BEZERKERS-

Lots of info today got me thinking about pre-planning for an alternate means of communication. I'm out of my realm on the specifics, but if someone knows...are there any Ham operators among us? Is there a frequency we could listen to? And is it a short wave radio thats needed?
Any thoughts/ideas would be appreciated :)



If someone will decide on a frequency and post, I'll contact a couple of local HAMs. We are rural, but sometime get info because of a nearby nu clear power plant here in Southeast US.


Very good...I'm gonna do the same...getting SoCal in the loop.

I have to agree with you
after studiing the enlargements.
The dark shapes are the same as the white faint shapes ....
thought the SHAPES are different and odd !!!

The clouds north-west from number 1 are normal clouds,
their shadow is normal ... the odd clouds are higher imo ...

Da bastids! But, Hans, don't you think that, when push comes to shove, the pi rates will take over at least some re peaterz?

So...Hans A Magnificent man (HAM) :)
Despite the above, is it possible for us to all find/get/agree on a frequency/station to be able to listen communicate in the event of no other comms?

Dirty clouds on the left, shadows on the right. Zoom, look close. The're pretty high to cast a shadow that far away.

Left coast is more than less;-) Don't forget Hans and Breezy. Depending on your locale, I'm in the middle, I think of that particular spread.

Dirty clouds on the left, shadows on the right. Zoom, look close. The're pretty high to cast a shadow that far away.


The sun must be just (before or) after noon ...
coz the shadowcastings are not deformed ...
They (the shadows) are almost IDENTICAL in SIZE to the shapes (faint clouds) above it.

The normal clouds are closer to the seasurface.

He explained sideband as a feature to make sure the SW radio you have or get has. Allows you to listen to transmissions far away. Don't wanna say the name cuz I'm not sure about the word ban thingy.
And same with o-o-led. It's a search you can do on net to find local ham operators. Hope that made sense.
Sorry about the double post.

I would agree Krispy, they look like shadows of high wispy clouds
