Alex Feinman@poemproducer It absolutely can be tracked? There's an entire community that watches the airwaves and isolates/triangulates unknown transmitters. It's one of the most trackable forms of media, and with software-defined radios, cheap to snoop on.
I guess they're thinking only
of receivers, which are harder to track; but every antenna is both a transmitter and receiver...
@afeinman you are right I deleted that bit, I guess it meant via means of "ai" and chip in phone ID ... connected to person

Given the way the present USA administration is clamping down on the spread of accurate information I wonder whether English language shortwave broadcasts to there might restart from other countries?

Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐@poemproducer The day the BBC World Service shut down their North American transmitters was truly a loss to America.
LukefromDC@poemproducer Pirate radio works anytime people are listening to the radio and either scanning for stations or looking for a known pirate station.
I ran WSQT Guerrilla Radio in DC from late 2003 until 2013 so I kmow this well.

seeteegee@poemproducer I wish that they would talk more about things like LoRA, and frequency hopping, options that may not require radio licensing. At least why traditional amateur radio albeit with new tech like SDR, and fast computers, is a better way to go.

I enjoy shortwave, but for the past several months have begun to see it from more of an emergency services perspective. If *rump shuts down unfavorable news media and maybe even ISPs and telcos, ham radio will be a way to communicate with the world.

John Rohde Jensen@poemproducer Radio/podcast also have the advantage that You can do other stuff while listening. For instance commuting. I'm starting to think that audio is more important than video.

I'd want to buy Digital Radio Mondiale receiver if not for the price. There were some news about cheaper models made inIndia coming soon. Maybe then...

Ludwig Vielfrass@poemproducer I've been an avid shortwave listener for a long time, and have my US amateur and GMRS licenses, too! The internet is cool and all, but there's something magical about reaching someone thousands of miles away with NO infrastructure between you and them. A radio and an antenna on each end, a little luck, and you're in business.
Kilroy_Was_HereOne of my pet theories is that radio will make a comeback in a big way. The newest warfront is the cyber-front, and eventually no internet-connected device will be able to escape internet electronic warfare. War won't just be bombing the enemy, it will be hacking the enemy and disabling the enemy's productive and commercial capacity. When this happens, there will be no choice but to switch back to radio.
krejgo@poemproducer this seems right up your alley @faulteh
