Amateur radio station is getting better organized. I am ready to help people if they call for help. In the past week I made radio contacts with men in the nearest city and with others in neighboring cities. Electricity used for radio contacts was produced off-the-grid at home using a solar panel.

How much did it all cost? Wondering about setting up something myself

$204, which included taxes and shipping to my house. That cost was for the radio, antenna, and mount. Solar power system not included.

Specifics:

Radio: TYT TH-8600 Dual Band Mini Mobile Transceiver 2M/70CM 25W Amateur Two Way Radio w/Cable

Antenna: Tram 140MHz-170MHz + 430MHz-470MHz Dual Band NMO

What do you talk about with your radio friends?

I just got this station set up for emergency use, so I can help people, if possible, and if God leads me to do so. Our world is being hit with storms of all kinds and there will be times when normal communications will be cut. People are stirring up hatred for their fellow man, so of course we are going to see riots, especially in the cities. America is turning into another Nazi Germany, because of propaganda, and because the heart of man has grown cold. The nation will suffer calamity after calamity. And those that incite others to violence against their fellow man will perish. They will not escape, unless they repent now. Now is the acceptable time to repent and turn to Jesus, who said: love one another.

To test this form of communication today I made a call and talked with a man about the Hernando De Soto bridge, which he recently drove across.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Jesus and Uncle Adolf go pretty well together.

Jesus died on the cross because of his greater than great love for all, including those killed and tormented in World War II and those that will be killed and tormented now in our generation.

True. But think about the Weimar republic literally being run by demons. Then were prostituting children and all sorts of stuff.

Nice, that's really not bad

Can you listen to marine radio using your ham radio?

Just fyi, I understand that you can only xmit using marine radio while you are on the water..

In case of social breakdown, you might want to have a marine radio so you can communicate with ships..

I am currently in Arkansas, so I am not close to the sea. Perhaps you mean well. There will be social breakdown, but I am prepared to communicate with God through prayer. There will also be EMP attacks, so I do not know how long these radios will be functional. God is always able to save, but he requires repentance. When the social breakdown, as you call it, happens, men will only have time to fight for survival and will find it almost impossible to repent and to begin to trust the Lord for all their needs, since they have not made time to practice their faith. It's best to repent now and do not delay to receive Jesus as your Savior.
