Some folks who are interested in being more prepared for disaster or emergency situations are interested in using HAM/amateur radio as a communication tool you can use when cell & internet networks are down.

I did some research on getting licensed (in the US) & learning to operate HAM radios this summer and finally got the notes I sent as an email to some local friends typed up for easier reference on my blog.

So, the ham radio folks who have been telling me there will be no fallout from Israel using exploding (fake/counterfeit) Icoms

Flightaware: "Dubai's Emirates Airlines has banned passengers from carrying pagers and walkie-talkies on its flights, following last month's attacks on Lebanese group Hezbollah involving communication devices that exploded."

My fellow #hamradio peeps: please don't be the jerks who are berating unlicensed folks asking for help with severe weather events. In the US, part97 is pretty clear that if it's an emergency, all bets are off. Same with part47, part 95, etc.

Help others, and after they're safe, put out an offering to help them learn the hobby.

Tl;Dr : don't be jerks.

Hey U.S. people: thinking about getting your ham license? Free training, testing, and a radio.

"The Make Operating Radio Easier (MORE) Project is an initiative to reduce both gender and age imbalances in Amateur (Ham) Radio, through education and hands-on activities."

Seguramente no sabréis que la Dirección General de Protección Civil en España, dependiente del Ministerio del Interior, edita de manera totalmente gratuita una obra llamada "Vademecum REMER" orientada a la Red Nacional de Radio de Emergencia pero que cualquier persona puede descargar y consultar libremente en su ordenador. Contiene muchísima información sobre meteorología, navegación aérea, catástrofes, cabotaje, cartografía, primeros auxilios, orientación, conversión de unidades, radioafición...

Se puede descargar desde cpage.mpr.gob.es/producto/vade… pinchando en "Consultar documento en línea" y abriendo el index.html. Aunque la última edición es de 2017 trae un montón de cosas que no pierden vigencia.

Impuestos bien empleados, si me preguntan.
