California shutting down power AND shutting down HAM radio repeaters at the same time (Conspiracy)

submitted ago by allahead

Seems suspicious that they would ever order HAM repeaters shut down.

Power shut down, "to prevent fires" during dry, windy conditions. So, basically from now on? PGE isn't doing any maintenance during the shutdown to improve anything like cutting trees near the power lines.

Here is the order to shut down the HAM repeaters, docx file format.

What could possible be the reason for this?...

I don't know, but there is no good, logical reason for them to take either of these actions. Maybe they are retarded, maybe malicious. We won't really know anything unless the government does something during this time. They may be planning something in the future and want the relay stations down for later.

the repeaters use power and high voltages. the antennas are electric and they could shoot sparks, igniting a fire. the repeater uses electic power like a home, but the repeater probably has its own transformer that gets hot and ignite fires in a remote area. the antenna can start to glow and strike a fire like matches.

Bullshit.

and then we'll make sure they can't communicate with radio either

Yeah, it's to stop leaks, promote rioting and to cause unrest/division.
