I don’t think that will be a problem. It’s the downtown area of a reasonably large city, and it’s a federal and state holiday - which means that a ton of people who would normally be there, won’t be. Federal, state, and banking employees are a huge proportion of downtown Richmond’s workforce. Quote HistoryQuoted:

If 30K folks show there will be issues . . . that area is busy but 30K will overwhelm the cell towers because it's a small area on the side of a hill. And there is no city-wide WiFi network. Plus - if there are issues on 1/20 I guarantee the first thing that the Staties will cut is cell comms. We need Baofeng backup freqs and a licensed HAM to send out massages for general consumption. 99.99% of us will just be in listen mode. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I'm also working on how to implement a Gotenna Mesh network at the event. That would enable text messaging even if the cell network is down. The 1-to-1 chat and 1-to-many chats are encrypted. They also have a "shout" mode that sends to all mesh nodes in range. There is also an Emergency and Emergency beacon mode that you can use to tell all the other mesh users in an area (including via hops) that you're in trouble. Since the Gotenna Mesh app runs on Andoid or Apple, you don't necessarily have to have a phone, just a text messaging app on your device. Or, you can use an unactivated phone, burner phone, etc. to connect to the mesh. I'm setting up the ones I have with random IDs rather than a phone number. I'm planning to have a spreadsheet of the key folks and their random IDs so I know how to text them directly. (And, they'll have the same list.) For those who want to participate in the mesh network, see Gotenna mesh They did have a 30% promotion going on with the coupon code GIFTGOTENNA but I don't know if that's still the case. This should prove to be an interesting test of large-scale, non-cell network comms. |

A few other things to consider - Xfinity Wifi hotspots are all over the place (everyone with an Xfinity internet connection that doesn't disable the "feature" is automatically a hotspot). Use of the hot spots is free to Xfinity internet customers. This is a great way to get access when cell networks are jammed (I've used this approach at CMA Fest and football games when cellular was unreliable). Another option would be to use Motorola DTR radios. They are digital, require no licensing, 900mhz, and allow both directed comms and group comms. |

Are there any celebrities like Ted Nugent that could be lured into attending the patriot rally? What has attracted me to attend is that this is by citizens. I've never seen this kind of refusal. I have to be a part of it..."men" here won't. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Any attempt to protest or picket near the home of a legislator would have to be very civil. Unarmed. Quiet. No trespassing. Just signage. Complete Compliance with law enforcement. Simply a tiny group of people saying hello, being friendly, passing out fliers, voicing concern about these bills to people. All in plain view of the homes of the congressman. Enough that wives call husbands and send a pictures. Let them know people care about the issue more than they realize. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quoted: imo this will not go how you think. they will cry wolf and say the evil gun owners are "terrorizing their families" it will be all over the news and give them more ammunition for their cause. do the same idea without firearms present might work The whole point of this rally is that we will not cede our rights peacefully. All in plain view of the homes of the congressman. Enough that wives call husbands and send a pictures. Let them know people care about the issue more than they realize. |

What needs to come out of this is a new state-level political party in Virginia that is focused on liberty and that doesn't get subsumed by the Republicans like what happened to the Tea Party movement.

I heard wheat paste posters can be very difficult to remove. So don't use that if you are thinking of using informational posters.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm hoping to get out the CHIRP file shortly. My thought is to have at least a primary and secondary VHF frequency that is in the ham bands. That way, the several thousand Baofengs I expect to be there will be able to get info passed via the Arfcom Information Network (TM).
I'm also working on how to implement a Gotenna Mesh network at the event. That would enable text messaging even if the cell network is down. The 1-to-1 chat and 1-to-many chats are encrypted. They also have a "shout" mode that sends to all mesh nodes in range. There is also an Emergency and Emergency beacon mode that you can use to tell all the other mesh users in an area (including via hops) that you're in trouble. Since the Gotenna Mesh app runs on Andoid or Apple, you don't necessarily have to have a phone, just a text messaging app on your device. Or, you can use an unactivated phone, burner phone, etc. to connect to the mesh. I'm setting up the ones I have with random IDs rather than a phone number. I'm planning to have a spreadsheet of the key folks and their random IDs so I know how to text them directly. (And, they'll have the same list.) For those who want to participate in the mesh network, see Gotenna mesh They did have a 30% promotion going on with the coupon code GIFTGOTENNA but I don't know if that's still the case. This should prove to be an interesting test of large-scale, non-cell network comms. |

The politicians in Richmond are not sweating this. Even if every trucker in the nation refused to drive into Virginia, it wouldn't matter one iota to Richmond. Every trucker I know loves post-apocalyptic audiobooks, and is red-blooded, patriotic good 'ol boy. Trucker Union Mouthpiece can say what he wants, but it doesn't match up with what I see. |
