Don't bring skateboards to gunfights and stay down in chicago where it's safe to burn and loot and riot. We ain't putting up with that shit in wisconsin
Here' have a picture of a medic protesting in kenosha.
Probably chicago. It's a straight shot up I-94.
Rioters better calm down, ham bands have been getting real heavy with militia activity up in the north woods.
North woods start around wausau. North of WI-64 you can go out into the woods and hear the gunfire from them playing in the woods all day long and pick up their 2m and vhf chatter. Some 20 and 20m traffic too.
You forgot the grape soda.
I know where you're comin from, lived in l'anse for years. Didn't say wausau was "in the north" just that's about where it starts actually being "up north". My definition of the term simply being where the corn ends and the trees start.
Maybe find a websdr, or buy a rtl-sdr off amazon and hook it up to a discone antenna.
You don't need a license to listen to hams though, only transmit.
You could also see what's on the repeaters with echolink, but that you will need a license for, though they tend to operate away from any frequencies repeaters use. UHF and VHF are basically line of sight only unless you're tropoducting, but that type of propagation is an effect of atmospheric conditions, so it's not reliable. You basically have to be "in the area" and have equipment in place.
Frequencies vary. The legal frequency range for 2m(vhf) is anywhere between 144-148 mhz, 70 cm (uhf) is 420-450 mhz.
Given that most of them are running around with baofengs, you can pick them up anywhere between 136- 174 MHz and 400-480 MHz.
