Amateur Night at the Dipole. Part 2. Safety DanceIn this show we will be picking where we left off last week. Last week we covered a hard truth that you do not need a ham radio license to use a radio and having a license does not mean you know how to use a radio. We covered the license free, go nuts channel on FRS and MURS. I also covered that honestly and legally you need a license to use GMRS and defiantly need a license to use the Amateur Radio bands. We covered the 4 rules: Clarity, Simplicity, Brevity, and Security. We then began discussing how the behaviors of the HF, VHF, and UHF bands differ. However, if you remember we ran out of time.

Amateur Night at the DipoleFor this show, we are going to make a lot of ham radio operators mad. I expect to get a lot of flak for this show. In this show, we are going to be discussing amateur radio and why it is and is not important to get your license. Here is the cold truth. You do not need a ham radio license to use a radio and having a license does not mean you know how to use a radio. You bought that awesome BaoFeng, got it programmed, and now what? Did you know that you can use FRS and MURS channels without a license? Did you know that you need a license to use GMRS? Read more “Amateur Night at the Dipole!”

Emergency CommunicationsWay back when our prepping community was developing on YouTube, I had identified an important subject; Communications. In a grid down scenario or some other emergency, being able to communicate or at least listen, would be vital for information, Intel and would be a huge psychological boost to the people who have chosen to prepare.

Ham radio, what you need to know!

Ham radio, what you need to know!
Host: Denob “The Prepared Canadian”

Ham radio DawnMossHam radio can be an indispensable resource during an event. Not only will it allow you to keep in touch with other members of your support group, but if enough preppers would take it seriously, a whole network could be set up from coast to coast to relay valuable information. Even without a license, you can own and listen for information from ham radio operators, emergency services such as police, fire, and others, and listen in on worldwide broadcasts which can keep you up to date on the general situation of things.

Best Teacher in Life is Life Itself~

Best Teacher in Life is Life Itself~
Host: Denob “The Prepared Canadian”

teacherThere is no better teacher in life than life itself. What I mean by this is that actual hands on experience is the best way to gain knowledge and skill sets that you may need. Sure, we can read up about something in books, over the internet, and even ask our friends and neighbors, but getting your hands dirty, so to speak, is the best way to practice that which is being preached to us.

TeacherThat being said, I am going to take a much different approach this week. Instead of picking a topic such as water purification, or composting, or alternative energy and rambling on for the better part of an hour, I’m instead going to share some of my experiences with you on a range of subjects that I’ve actually gotten into in recent history.

A big part of my prepping recently has been centered around communications. Read more “Best Teacher in Life is Life Itself~”

An Old Geezer and His Tips on Communications!

Dan Wolfe2 Comments

Ham Radiobear 1-14 2p4lstorms_300When regular means of receiving information are not available such as television, am/fm radio, telephones, and cell phones where should one go? Most experts would agree that of all forms of radio communications that may be put to use in a post disaster situation the Ham Radio (amateur radio) would be the most valuable in sharing information. We have had a few shows just recently on communications and each one bringing to the plate a great deal of information that is useful to both the novice and expert alike.

Sam Coffman of The Human Path gave us a lot of information just last week on ham radio in the second half of his program. Clear and easily understood he made sense out of the technical aspects answering the how and why questions that most may have. You can read more and listen to that show by clinking HERE. Last night, Dave Womach of The Gun show interviewed the founder and CEO of civil dispatch, an on line version of 911 and more that can send out emergency notifications through ham radio. In an emergency this could be a life saving resource even if you are not a ham radio operator. Read more and listen to this show by clicking Here!

hamradio-2013_ratzer-53Tonight, on this episode of “Preparing For Life’s Storms” Old Geezer Prepper from YouTube helps us understand setting up communications, communications network, the basics and also answer questions for the more advanced radio operator. He has been a prepper since late 1979 and a licensed Ham Radio Operator since 1985. He has also promised to not get so technical that we get lost. Also a visit at the start of the show with the founder of the new e-magazine “Happy To Survive” so join us tonight for more useful information when SHTF 9:00pm/Est 8:00pm/Ct.

Dan WolfeLeave a comment

cb radioCanada 125This week on The Prepared Canadian, we take a look back to the times of Smokey and the Bandit. Yup, you guessed it…CB radios. We look at the benefits as well as the pitfalls of using CB’s as a source of communications as well as how to get set up. Also, why and how to build your own base station antenna for your home for around $20.00.
Also, the Canadian Hurricane Center has issued its outlook for the 2013 season. How many storms are predicted and how does this compare to seasons past? Finally, I’ll give you my views on the whole concealed carry debate for Canadians. Should we, could we and would it do any good if we did? These and more opinions for this week’s episode.
