A similar situation applies to the IPv4 ranges

Amateur radio operators triggered by the false distinction of amateur and ham radio
All modern wireless infrastructure
HE KNOWS
This must be the most significant meta reference since what, the explainxkcd namedrop in the title text that one time?
Also maybe it's a reference to the 2.4 GHz band, used by a ton of wireless protocols, most notably bluetooth and wifi.
All I have to say is that the boat captains really do need all that space.
Because half of it is taken up by drunk guys sitting on their PTT button while the other half is the coast guard telling someone to head over to channel 22/24.
All we have left is channel 69 these days.
Oh man I don't know why numbers stations are so spooky but they spook me out
It’s intelligence officers broadcasting encrypted messages to operatives who can’t make contact from their post but no one can detect you receiving radio broadcasts
I'm really interested in this radioastrology.
Disappointed that "Pork Radio" didn't make the cut. He must have considered it.
but if they auction off the zeppelin navigation bands, how will the zeppelin NT avoid getting lost?
I'm appreciating the early explainers:
Explanation This is a humorous misinterpretation of the spectrum plan. Death Rays are not on the real spectrum plan, and if they are, do not listen to it.
it is also very unlikely there's a entire spectrum part for garage door openers
HAM radio uses multiple parts of the spectrum as well. Is he no longer doing research or am I missing something in the presentation?
What if aliens don't want to broadcast on the Hydrogen Line? They'll likely try Methane if they are truly into the butt stuff.
That’s what “weather balloons” (including the quote marks) is for. I believe it’s a reference to the official story on the Roswell incident.
I though that was referencing the alleged spionage balloon(s) that were briefly in the media some years back.
Is this out of date? I thought we no longer had 1G and 2G in the US with 3G on its way out too.
