Any of you HAM guys hear about this?

DoD Plans Solar-Storm-Based National Blackout Drill During Antifa Protests In November

According to The National Association for Amateur Radio (ARRL), elements of the US Department of Defense (DOD) will simulate a “communications interoperability” training exercise across the United States on November 04-06. The announcement released on October 24 has not been widely distributed to the media, because the drill is simulating a total grid collapse and could spark public fear.

“This exercise will begin with a national massive coronal mass ejection event which will impact the national power grid as well as all forms of traditional communication, including landline telephone, cellphone, satellite, and Internet connectivity,”

Sounds like authorizations to let the animals riot.

 

[SomeSoldier]

Come on out to the sticks.

Time to stock up on some hat tinfoil. I'm running low after the Las Vegas thread.

I'd be funny if that were the day Chubby Kim decided to shoot off his bottle rocket.

You going to have a pre-apocalypse sale?

Coincidental timing....

But I think it's just flat out more telling that they are conducting the civil defense grid down drill in the first place. Why is it interesting? Well Look at the timing and what's going on with NK.

We recently refunded the EMP comission which is a mistake. But now they are doing this test drill anyways.

I think they are doing it because they are preparing for war with korea and expect our grid to be attacked one way or another. If not then it's good practice for a CME.

I think they realize our grid going down is a serious possibility.

CME = Coronal Mass Ejaculation?

Yes

 

[freddy]

To prep for a CME is the best plan to bring extra kleenex?

A sock, reusable.

 

[BerettaGuy]

What is the date for Plinking for ANTIFA? Oh yeah Nov 4th.

 

[Defilade]

Bring on the Purge!

 

[MoMan]

Could get interesting in the "usual" places!!

Just sayin'!!

 

[FrankenCub]

Probably should get my antenna fixed on my truck so I can listen in. Might be pretty boring though.

 

[Acer-m14]

Ok...just gonna spew my conspiracy opinion here...

My guess is that they're probably doing it to see how far they can push martial law. Just sayin'

 

[FrankenCub]

Anyone happen to hear any info about what frequencies they will be using for local comms? I finally fixed the antenna on my truck after ripping it out of the roof this summer

 

[enigma]

I haven't seen them posted anywhere. It appears you need to listen to the HF comms on Saturday night and Sunday morning to get the local frequencies and instructions.

 

[FrankenCub]

Well if anyone hears them post em up, I don't have an HF rig. Only thing I have at the moment is the Icom 5100 in my truck and a HR-108 that doesn't seem to want to work right.

 

[MoMan]

I checked my "set-up", I currently have 8, 30 round AR mags loaded and ready for action.
I also have my 33 round, 9mm Glock "stick" loaded and ready to slam into the JRC Carbine. Wife can shoot, as well as ALL of my neighbors!
I checked my lanterns, etc to be sure they are ready, I've got water for days, and ran my stand-by generator. Now I can sit back and see what happens. I'm pretty sure this antifa shit isn't coming my way, BUT just in case.

I also have Lots and lots more for reloads!!

Just sayin'!!

I personally don't think much of anything is going to happen.

A nice bottle of bourbon to sit back with would be more likely of good use.

I can see about 200 antifa idiots in each of Berkeley and LA causing trouble, another 50 each in Atlanta, portland, NYC and baltimore. And they will do what they usually do try to block highways and act like spoiled brats breaking other people's things. Thsts probably about it. I think it will be limited individuals in the usual predominantly liberal cities where their actions have largely been condoned to this point.


But hey... Better to be safe than sorry

Oh, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. I just wanted to go through the main motions. It gave me a chance to go through our preparations, and also to check our BOBs. I told my wife that if the grid does go down (or next time we lose power!!), we are going to live like it is a "real" disaster, up to and including "sustaining" on minimum food, etc.

The messages Saturday night offered only HF frequencies to listen and check in. What's worse, is that they're all in 60 meters where most radios can't transmit. Maybe Sunday's noon time message will open things up. I'll post if it does.

 

[Acer-m14]

its now the 5th .. still have net and electric , did all day on the 4th too , .. bad bad emp drill failed .. lol

MoMo I was about to scold you for admitting that on the net...then I remembered your free now

I have to say though.... it is GREAT!
