HAM radios

[user 7704]

While perusing the bios, I noticed that hardly anyone has a HAM license. Why? It seems that these would be major in a SHTF situation. I have 2 hand held Beafung, but don't have a license because in an emergency, the license will be worthless.

If shtf, you think im worried about a license? I have an old ham radio that works, but its not something Im into.

I have assorted Two way radios ham, CB, PMR etc after TSHTF I dont give a damn about licences

That'she my thinking too. There aren't even groups like years ago. I was told that they were dying with the old

I was thinking I wanted to put a cb radio in the jeep we got. Then I considered wether anyone even uses them anymore. I'm not sure I would have anyone to talk to! I also live in mountains, making it harder to use too. Oh well, it was a cool fleeting idea anyways.

I looked down into CBS. The range wasn't very good.

That was my thinking that CB may only have some limited use thats why I got A President Grant 2 Export model CB, it not only covers the US Canada 27MHZ AM but also UK and EU 27 MHZ FM plus 26 to 30 MHZ ham bands all in one unit.

Obviously you have more $$$ than I.: )

It would be good to be king. Or at least have as much money as one. Speaking of, did anyone win the lottery last night? I didn't get around to buying a ticket so that didn't help my chances.....

 

[user 7704]

Don't know about lottery, but my mom plays every time she can.

Naaa it just worked out far cheaper than buying a CB, PMR and Ham comms set ups.

I googled it and no one won it. Guess I need to go buy 2 tickets today. Yes, I know it's a total waste but I don't think I'll have to worry about a gambling addiction by throwing away three dollars this year! Actually I buy a ticket occasionally, maybe ten dollars a year at worst case. I guess one can dream!

Ps, if I do win, I promise to post the entire progress of building a sustainable prepper compound

If I ever play and win, I need a raccoon /predator proof chicken run and coop. I didn't catch another raccoon last night so maybe the one was all there was.
