Maybe list Zulu as well as ET. That way most can read it without having to whip out a calculator. hahaha!but figured zulu ; utc /gmt was best here.... sorry for confusion.

I will not be transmitting anywhere if, there is no emergancy activation. At the bottom is information about the Florida Winlink net. You can check in to it if you like to get your call sign on the mailing list. May be another source of information if all else fails. It is well connected to emergency comms here in Florida. It is just another source for information. Boy Scout moto: Be Prepared.i'm lost... are u telling us how to check in to the net this coming saturday?
Yes good thinking. I know this website is based of American Homeland threats. But unfortunately we live in a globalized society which means the US depends on the rest of the world just working so in a fine tune of music.may be people around the world,
W4TBD, Amateur Extra, 3 HF radios, 2 HF antennas, all gear on UPS and auto generator.Hello,
The idea has been kicked about regarding the DEFCON warning systems community and amateur radio. To me this is a no-brainer, as our HF access gives us an efficient method
of communicating when all else fails... I would like to see how many people here have a General class (US amateur radio) license, or have 40M (7 mhz) privileges. This seems to be an easy to operate band, and is generally good when band conditons are not always the best higher up.
If you would just reply here in this thread, with your name, and callsign, (assuming you feel comfortable sharing that) or at least signify in some way you are a licensed amateur radio operator, I can get a feel of if this is a viable option. Assuming we are able to form a critical mass of operators, perhaps we could start an HF monthly net wherein we check-in at a pre-designated time, and then just say hi to each other, read the most current DEFCON bulletin, and then perhaps assign net control rotating duties as the thing evolves.
Eventually, I would like to figure out some form of digital standard or standards wherein the bulletin could be transmitted via HF and received by those without internet access, or those in remote locations throughout the world.
Again, this is in the nascent stages and the sky is the limit on how organized and regimented, or, how loose and relaxed we make it. The end result I would like to obtain would be for us to have fun, fellowship, and provide a service to the community. If in the process we get more people interested in obtaining or upgrading their licenses, so much the better!
I look forward to hearing back from you all soon.

42663 KC2DUX repeater...Megalos
In attempting to connect to your 147.120 local repeater via echolink I get an unauthorized message and am unable to connect. Thought I would pass this along. I assume this is the KC2DUX machine and not W2CJA, correct? The repeater book lists 2 machines there, KC2DUX in Gloucester and W2CJA in Middlesex.
Regards and many thanks......

Glad to Know I didn't Miss it....I tuned in Saturday Night at 8:30 PM CST. I will try to Check-In on Sunday at the Correct Time. 73 de KG5TJVyes, it's sunday.. TECHNICALLY... at 0130 hrs ZULU ( ie: 2130 Eastern Daylight Time Saturday evening) or to put it another way, 9:30PM Eastern Daylight Time (EAST COAST USA)
is this a weekly or monthly scheduled net? Is it threw Netloger?DEFCON RADIO NET:
DATE: May 16th,
TIME: 0130 hrs. ZULU ( GMT / UTC)
FREQ: 7.200 Mhz. LSB
I suppose being lousy had something to do with why I didn't hear anyone at that place and time.It was Saturday night. You were correct in when you listened depending on your time zone. 40M was lousy.

I agree. You can give away your identity by your call sign. You can give away your location by transmitting. I'm in favor of situational awareness and not getting careless.In the wrong SHTF scenario transmitting then could be more dangerous then than it would be now.
