One way to stir the pot and awaken the people is to provide them with exposure to news and other information they would not normally here through the major media. And since not everyone pays attention to alternative media post on Facebook and other sources, hearing things (as compared to reading) however draws interest and causes people to listen. Hence CB radio is a resource for providing such information, through radio broadcast derived from shortwave radio and Internet sources. And on some days when the propagation is good, your broadcast can be heard across the nation, even with legal power (barefoot operation).
The Galaxy DX 2547 makes a good rebroadcasting station
and will handle more than an hours of continuous operation if set for a carrier level of 2 watts.
In these times it takes some unusual means to address the nation, and so this is one of those means. It takes a special kind of person with some guts to undertake this kind of project. And also it is advised not to try and be a radio personality and do some jabbering, you might just not want to do some talking on the radio while you are operating it in a clandestine manner but remain low profile. Do not disclose who you are nor your location. If you want to talk for the fun of it, do so on another channel and do not disclose that you are involved in clandestine radio broadcasting.
Grudig Satellit 750 shortwave receiver.
The Grundig receiver seen above has line level outputs on the back which make it easy to run audio to a CB radio for rebroadcasting. You will need to use a choke core to wind the audio cable around a few turns so that it chokes RF currents off of the audio cable and keeps them out of your shortwave and the microphone input to the CB radio.
Antenna sellections are somewhat a question here, however if you were to use a dipole then you would provide horizontal radiation at a low angle to the horizion and be heard a ways off without being heard as much in the local region, and hence this would help to keep the station low profile locally. If you want to target the local region as well then use a ground plain radiator.
Now there once was a station that operated on channel 28 from the span of time of 1998 to 2004 daily and up to 8 hours a day. To say that this kind of thing has never been done before would be wrong. To say that it never will be done again will be wrong. And if more people did this, then we could reach out more to the nation.
Since we have only about 200,000 hams if that many, but in contrast about 12 million CB radios, both base and mobile here in the USA. It makes more sense to target CB radio if you want to reach out and influence a good portion of the population who happens to be opinionated towards conservative views. Of course there are a few on CB who do not care much for anything, but they do like to hear shortwave radio being rebroadcast since they have a thing for radio to begin with.
What can you rebroadcast? Alex Jones Infowars is one thing. Other conservative as well as alternative media are some of the things that you can use to address the people. And so you do not have to talk nor prepare a broadcast, just rebroadcast things that you can tune to on shortwave or stream from off the Internet.
