Sort of. Just announcing a domain change. Hogwarts School of Grid Down Medicine has a new URL: griddownmed.blog. Thanks to site owner inattentiveness, spam filters, and scumbags in Barbados, we lost the old griddownmed.com domain name, but can buy it back for the low, low price of $688. Sure thing, bub.

To conserve manpower, the printer is the best option out there. Robust and simple, the design does exactly what it says it does, making it an indispensable tool for the safe house or control element in a partisan underground. Coupled with a brevity matrix, proper tradecraft and above all, solid training, you and your…

The RTO Basic Course’s task and purpose is to understand tactical communications with off the shelf gear. It’s a come-as-you-are class, just like it will be in a prepper’s retreat, rapidly getting new folks up to speed on essential tasks who may have a wide variety of equipment. The Advanced RTO course steps far beyond this; our mission is operational, focused on taking what we know and now making it much harder to be broken, even if all we have is an analog Baofeng, some coax and connectors, and a spool of wire. And for some, that may be all you have at some point. As often is the case, what we want and what we have are two different things; if you can effectively use what’s simple, everything else becomes an enabler.

The Team’s Transmission site is prepared and the Yagi is aimed along the correct azimuth.
