FAQ

Who are you?

We are a loose collective of licensed, unlicensed, and yet-to-be licensed radio enthusiasts who also happen to be anarchists.

What’s your deal?

We believe in fighting arbitrary hierarchies by distributing traditionally gatekept information for free and helping the communities we’re a part of use radio to make things a little better.

We communicate to liberate. Information saves lives and sets us free. It is our moral imperative to ensure there exist means of communication not controlled by those who oppose us.

We challenge the legitimacy of the states auctioning off of the radio spectrum. We see the spectrum as a common resource that should be available for all to access, not something to be profited off and gate kept away from the working classes.

As the surveillance state grows in power and works towards a total panopticon, it’s also crucial for us to inform and educate vulnerable groups resisting the state about the risks posed to them from the mass signals intelligence gathering the state is engaged in.

Do you have a ham radio license?

Yes, most of us do.

What’s your call sign?

We’re not going to share that information as our government names and locations could easily be found based on call signs. We’d prefer to avoid becoming targets of political violence and harassment because of internet posts about antennas.

What about numbers stations?

(A few people have actually asked this.)

What about them? They’re cool, I guess. Look up One Time Pads. I think that’s really what people wanna know about when they ask about numbers stations. Personally I don’t find them to be very practical. But they are cool. And it should go without saying that doing illegal things is illegal. Here’s a “schedule” of numbers stations transmissions you can listen to, either with your own radio, or with a Web SDR. https://priyom.org/number-stations/station-schedule
