Ask HN: What is up with California and HAM radios?
There are a number of rumors circulating that the CA state government is no longer going to use the amateur radio community and is instead building a state funded repeater network. Is this true? If so, can anyone explain the benefit?
- mikece 7y agoFrom what I heard, it's specifically CalFire that's terminating no-fee access to HAM repeaters on mountain tops. I'm sure Verizon and ATT love this. Personally, I hope this spurs interest and activity on the 40m and 80m bands.
