167. RTO Wyoming Recap, Digital Communications and ’Extremists with Radio’
Episode 167. I cover the predicted election victory of Gustavo Petro in Colombia and the brewing issues as a result, then dive into some of the lessons learned from the RTO Course in Wyoming and what the students were able to achieve in a way we’ve never been able to accomplish in the past. Chief among them was the implementation of digital communications with inexpensive Baofengs over an incredible distance while using improvised antennas the students built. Last I dive into a ridiculous article coming from Slate labeling anyone with an interest in radio as being a ‘right wing extremist’, blatantly ignoring what the radical violent Left actually is doing.

You heard it first on RC!
Just remember that everything sent over the airwaves is available to anyone that is listening to that frequency at that time, within the range of the communication. I have advocated to learning and using a one time pad for secure comms. These numbers could be sent via Morse Code over the airwaves rather easily. Anyone can learn the numbers 0 thru 9 in Morse Code in order to transmit blocks of numbers over the radio to a recipient with the same one time pad to decode and respond in a fixed amount of time on a pre-arranged frequency. This would be totally secure except for radio direction finding teams triangulating your transmitting location. For quick inner squad comms there is no use, but for planning ops with a HQ unit it could be very effective. Use brevity codes for a level of secrecy. Change them every day or so.
Three things on this –
1. You’re speaking in absolutes, which is one of the things I addressed on the podcast,
2. While you’re not wrong per se, you’re also not neither entirely correct nor practical in every application,
3. I’ve never had you in class but the people who have had my courses know why what you’re saying is falling flat.
No replacement for experience, folks. Come to class.
