Communications
Standerds of the Wolf Pack Survival Network
The Wolf Pack Survival Network encourge its members to use
the following forms of communication. At this time the Citizens Band or
Citizen Side Band radios are used for local communications only. Everyone
is encourged to change to the two-meter (144mhz) VHF ham radio for their
local radio communications.
The National simplex (simplex means no repeaters are
used) frequency is 146.52mhz. This frequency should bve monitered from
5 minutes before the hour to 5 minutes after the hour at 7am, 10am,1pm,4pm,
and 7pm.
During times of of national distress the radio should
be monitered for 5 minutes at the top of each hour for messages from other
Wolf Pack members.
Local groups are encouraged to pick local repeater frequencies
for their use but you are encouraged not to rely on repeaters exclusivlly.
All this equipment can be acsessed with a "No Code Tech"
amateur radio license. For reliable, static free communications this is
the way to go. you don't really want to try and compete with 4 million+
CBer's do you?
You can get the No Code Tech book,by Gordon West, at
your local Radio Shack. This book has the exact questions and answers for
the No Code Tech multiple choice tests. The only excuse for not getting
your license is laziness, and laziness will get you very dead.
For new members to the Wolf Pack Survival Network we
will have single side band CB frequencies set up, but again we discourage
members from depending on CB's. Every family/group should have at least
one member who is a licensed ham operater. That member can then train the
other members how to use the equipment.
The next thing you need to decide is if you REALLY
need nation wide communications abillity, remember there won't be an Internet.
If the answer is yes then your No Code Tech will need
to Morse Code at 5 words per minute. Then you just have to take a code
test to upgrade your license to 'Tech plus Code". Once you have that you
can access the HF radio bands.
If you are serious about long distance communications
then this is the way to go. A major plus is that if (when) the power goes
out all of this equipment can be run by 12 volt DC so you can keep talking.
