		JonnieCache on Jan 28, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How Egypt Switched Off The Internet There are apparently some renegade hackers running HAM radio out of egypt. Apparently theyre sending morse code back and forth. http://werebuild.eu/wiki/Egypt/Main_Page#Hamradio "40m band, ~7-7.3 MHz LSB, 318.5 degrees(northwest/north from cairo), Friday night until the morning (16:00-05:00 UTC). ON/KC0SJH will be calling CQ" They also seem to be coordinating free dialup links. Biggup.

It'd be good if they could setup a digital packet system instead. On lots of frequencies to prevent jamming.
