Who published the list? Granted that some of the lines are nationally recognized (aircraft emergency freq), is the entire list "official"? Seems odd that there'd be frequencies with "prepper" in their name designation. Just curious if this is an existing standard or if we're creating it now.

My thoughts exactly. Who created the list, and is it a list that will actually become standardized over time?

(Edit: given enough time, I imagine it will become standardized since the word "prepper" was added!!)

 

Prepper Frequency Lists

Who created the list, and is it a list that will actually become standardized over time?

Hi LincTex,

Channel usage patterns change from time to time, so we have updated it when needed. The list was compiled over more than 15 years of field participation, monitoring, research, and correspondence with radio people from organized survivalist groups and SHTF prepper communications groups, based on what frequencies they were actually using in the field for Bug Out drills, simulated emergency events, and survival camps. Other frequencies in the list are from published prepper comm organizations.

Some survivalist groups really don't want their confidential tactical SHTF channels known, and we have agreed not to publish those secret frequencies. There are actually about 4 or 5 times as many frequencies that we know are in use than what you see on the public list. These are mostly in the range of 26 MHz to 470 MHz. For a lot more information and photos please see:
RadioMaster Reports - Survivalist Prepper Communications.

The reports have a lot more detail than would be appropriate in this forum.

 

I wouldn't be interested so much in secure channels specific to a group. I think a "public list" such as this is great for a starting point for "general/generic news" in an area.... just like good ol' CB channel 19.

It's a good starting point to try to make some initial contact (it is after all, a public list) and news/chat/info ... and I think that is something a lot of folks need - - a starting point.

This is a few years old, but it's a compilation I made. It's mostly government/volunteer HF disaster frequencies.
