Radio Mondays: Emergency
Yesterday we had another successful Radio Mondays, the subject was emergency uses of radio, and what was available to us, for listening and use.
- Amateur Radio
- Services
- ARES/RACES
- Military Afilliate Radio System
- SKYWARN
- SATERN(salvation army)
- cells
- NOAA weather alerts
- emergency alert system
- sat phones(iridium, globalsat)
- police/fire/coast guard
There are also a host of military and government radio systems that get used in an emergency, but they tend to be satellite or tight/encrypted links we can’t access.
We also talked about what direction we should go for our first project, we’re leaning towards a recreation of the famous experiments van Eck did, that led to the TEMPEST standards. It would be interesting and even possibly useful to other projects, to know what kind of RF things around crashspace were emitting.
