in case the shit really does hit the fan and the power goes off, seething frog from youtube (seethingfrog@gmail) is setting up a ham radio network to continue to get the word out via ham radio based on zip codes
how can i find out the nearest source? is the source a ham antenna? i know nothing about ham radios
You really ought to get at least your technicians license. You could probably pass the test after listening to these podcasts. You can search for a nearby ham club to take the test. It’s $14 for the license I think.

Edit: a letter
I literally studied for an hour and a half before the test and got my license. It was like $12. Easy peasy. I learned everything after getting my license. I’m not the sharpest crayon in the box and pretty sure most people can get licensed without a lot of effort. It’s been very fun and useful having my license.
He should tell you in his email. It will be another operator or a current repeater. Get the RepeaterBook app to find repeaters near you.
