Hi All
I recently got my hands on a programmable radio(uv-5r) with the idea that normal communications - and the ability to gather information - will be in short supply if and when SHTF in South Africa. What I found is that there is hardly any information available on useful frequencies to monitor if there is an event - as there is in the US - e.g. http://radioreference.com; somehow this information (if it is available) is treated like a super-duper state secret.
The plan is to monitor / listen to things such as emergency services, neighbourhood watches, and etc. as an information source to get a better picture of the situation on a local, regional and country level if there is ever an interruption in communications.
Forgive my ignorance: Is there a list of useful frequencies available for South Africa; and if not are any of the members aware of individual frequencies so that we may attempt to compile such a list.
Cheers!
