I was thinking about this the other day and with the upcoming Hurricanes now might be a good time to talk about this. My self and quite a few others in our neighborhoods are HAM radio operators and we are already set up for this. I know a lot of people have the FRS radios Some people may still have and use the CB radios There are also some of you that may have a Scanner and listen to the Fire and police.
So my suggestion is that it would be a good Idea to identify some Frequencies (for HAM radio operators) or channels on the FRS and CB Radios that would be used in case we end up with a bad event of some kind. Here are my suggestions For FRS use Channel 11 and make sure you are not using the privacies setting For CB use Channel 20 For ham Radio operators 2m 146.580 MHZ simplex
Below is a list of important Frequencies My email is KM4GDU@gmail.com if you have any questions Also if we are going to get hit by a hurricane it might be a good Idea to test this out before they are needed. I will be monitoring these during a hurricane.
