@w7voa Note the frequencies: 1620, 1650, 1670 or 1700 kHz. At the top of the AM band, to make a too-small antenna more efficient.

decay_coefficient,

@w7voa I was just in Hawaii for work, and was struck by how much terrestrial radio infrastructure is still active out there. It's also the first place I've heard a call on 2m simplex in a while.

MadisonMonkey,

@w7voa Time to make Cell services & Twitter part of the national & state emergency broadcast network and subject them to the rules & oversight required as such

@w7voa I'm guessing that mobile phone users won't be able to listen to those broadcasts? It always bugs me that apple/google were allowed to remove am/fm radio receivers from their devices. It seems like it's the best method & requires the least amount of battery.

@w7voa HAMs for the win.
