Simulated EMP Strike 11/06

Elements of the US Department of Defense (DOD) will conduct a “communications interoperability” training exercise November 4-6, once again simulating a “very bad day” scenario. Amateur Radio and MARS organizations will take part.
“This exercise will begin with a national massive coronal mass ejection event which will impact the national power grid as well as all forms of traditional communication, including landline telephone, cellphone, satellite, and Internet connectivity,” Army MARS Program Manager Paul English, WD8DBY, explained in an announcement.

During the exercise, a designated DOD Headquarters entity will request county-by-county status reports for the 3,143 US counties and county equivalents, in order to gain situational awareness and to determine the extent of impact of the scenario. Army and Air Force MARS organizations will work in conjunction with the Amateur Radio community, primarily on the 60-meter interoperability channels as well as on HF NVIS frequencies and local VHF and UHF, non-Internet linked Amateur Radio repeaters.
Again this year, a military station on the east coast and the Fort Huachuca, Arizona, HF station will conduct a high-power broadcast on 60-meter channel 1 (5330.5 kHz) on Saturday from 0300 to 0315 UTC. New this year will be an informational broadcast on Sunday, on 13,483.5 kHz USB from 1600 to 1615 UTC. Amateur Radio operators should monitor these broadcasts for more information about the exercise and how they can participate in this communications exercise, English said.

a drill is now a happening
fascinating

Nice link faggot

We want to continue building on the outstanding cooperative working relationship with the ARRL and the Amateur Radio community,” English said. “We want to expand the use of the 60-meter interop channels between the military and amateur community for emergency communications, and we hope the Amateur Radio community will give us some good feedback on the use of both the 5-MHz interop and the new 13-MHz broadcast channels as a means of information dissemination during a very bad day scenario.

You can easily search the text you Somali fuck

So a bunch of ham radio operators doing a test in case SHTF is now a happening?

I've had my hopes up for WW3 for a long time, these drills will be a nothingburger as usual ffs.
>inb4 muh 9/11 had FEMA drills prepping for a mass causality event at the same time

If somebody had a heart attack during this EMP Blackout and couldn't contact any emergency services, could they sue the government as a result?

My first RACES drill. I am excite.

No because they would be ded

A relative of the person was with them in that case.

Antifa BTFO

it's almost like I didn't question the source of the text, spic

This.

Not a coincidence that this test will happen when commie thugs are wanting to riot on Nov. 4th.

You really think the government gives a shit when NK just blew out the entire nation's power grid?
Dude get a grip on reality. If the power grid goes out, millions will die.
>the government will entertain the lawsuit of one person who had a heart attack when the rest of the country is in literal chaos.

So all (((they'll))) need is to wake up a couple of these?

fix'd ur pic 4 u

This would actually be a better cover story for keeping everyone in the dark while WE nuke a bunch of places, then bring everything back online again and, oh woops! looks like everyone blew up while we were conveniently not even able to do anything haha wow.

...

I was disappointed by the fact that Godzilla didn't fuck the female MUTO in the movie.

>This exercise will begin with a national massive coronal mass ejection event
How do they get the sun to do that?

They are running a drill that would simulate that scenario. a CME taking out the grid is that scenario.

The timing is coincidental though with a highly advertised national demonstration.

Maybe they anticipate radicals attaqing grid?

They are not turning anything off you idiot.
