In an emergency you are allowed to transmit without a license. There were plenty of unlicensed calls going to the Mt. Mitchell repeater.
All that being said, I am definitely getting my license once this is over.

- j_bum 2y agoI don’t know anything about this topic, so forgive me if I’m wrong. Would there be any risks associated with increased “free for all” amounts of radio traffic going around during a natural disaster like this? Couldn’t specific channels become cluttered to the point where signal is too disrupted to read, or is that not quite how it works?
