Ola comrades. I posted this in the general chat, someone suggested I put it here:

On today’s episode of Street Fight there was a caller who got into ham radio and then found it was actually full of white supremacists meeting and being racist psychos.

According to her everybody on ham has to identify by their call sign or risk losing their ham radio license, but if you have someone’s call sign you can look up their name and address in a central database. She made it sound like fascists consider this a safe space and are not concerned with anybody IDing them. Sounds like if you could look up the name, address and phone number of any Chapo user by their username.

I don't know anything about this, but if you have a ham radio licence and are looking for some praxis in your life, maybe you could look into a new anti-fascist hobby of doxing ham radio fascists.

    Tiny hint, go on the 40 meter band, and use USB. There are a few fascist nets that try to run under the radar by not using the standard configuration. I don't have a radio right now, but everyone here can use http://www.websdr.org/ to search. It'll be difficult to find, but probably worth it.
