<pikajude> fucking ec\ posting on facebook about long distance post apocalyptic communication
<ELLIOTTCABLE> incomprehensibly: okay call me?
<ELLIOTTCABLE> pikajude: y fucking
<pikajude> that's the most EC reaction to anything, ever
<pikajude> "ok guys, here's how my weird niche tech thing can help us when the president kills everyone"
<pikajude> this guy
<pikajude> i love u ec
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Rarik: lmao I'm intentionally throwing shade on the block chain voting nerds
<ELLIOTTCABLE> god how is that not obvious
<ELLIOTTCABLE> incomprehensibly: but I really *will* give you the 411 on getting licenses. It's mby two days' work for someone like you or me
<ELLIOTTCABLE> putchur zip code in dere
<ELLIOTTCABLE> and HAMstudy.org, make an account, and use it to review to "Technician"-class questions
<ELLIOTTCABLE> it's super fucking basic stuff
<ELLIOTTCABLE> like lol is radio-frequency radiation ionizing or non-ionizing radiation,
<ELLIOTTCABLE> or "when is it okay to break the FCC rules" "D. Never" lol duh
<ELLIOTTCABLE> V = C Γ— R, and Ξ» = 300 / F-in-MHz
<ELLIOTTCABLE> The only remotely hard stuff is some obscure band-plan stuff β€” some of which you have to memorize, but some of which can be figured out on the spot
<ELLIOTTCABLE> like "which section of the 10-meter band is limited to CW-mode" … and then of the four options, only one frequency range is even close to 300/10m β†’ 30MHz
<ELLIOTTCABLE> so I've been having a good time ignoring all the boring *requirements*, and going off-plan to learn about antenna theory (WTFFFFFFFFFFUCK, ANTENNAS ARE SO fucking WEIRD) and try and learn Morse-code (which isn't required because it turns out it's FUCKING HARD OMG)
<ELLIOTTCABLE> LCWO.net if u wna
<gnomon> ELLIOTTCABLE, learning Morse is hard as long as your brain is doing it, true. Once your get it into your fingers it's way easier.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> I am just trying to consume, right now. I haven't even begun to try to produce
<gnomon> ELLIOTTCABLE, are you aware of that project to transcode adventure books to Morse for listening practice? Some guy with a _gorgeous_ Begali key, I forget the name. One sec.
<ELLIOTTCABLE> My tummy
<ELLIOTTCABLE> Hurts
