Chances are, if a major incident is underway of grave importance, someone will be talking about it on GhostNet. Hopping on JS8Call to check for message traffic, or firing up Ion2G during a crisis is not only helpful for sharing information, but also great practice for when GhostNets might be needed for more substantial emergencies. Persistent Comms Networks For those who have the resources to spare, simply keeping an eye on the predetermined JS8Call freqs throughout the day can be quite helpful. Setting up a receive-only JS8Call arrangement and just leaving it running all day and night can be a great way to receive critical indications and warnings of world events in real time. Though this may be a bit resource intensive for some, running JS8Call around the clock requires very little CPU power, especially in receive-only mode. Though it would be great to see JS8Call being used to share information 24/7, right now JS8 is more of a hobby for hams than a tool for circumventing censorship/targeting. However, in due time JS8Call’s unique character- istics are great for group messages, and the heartbeat feature is a very resilient way to make sure comms networks are functional at any time of day. Note that the time of day is listed in ZULU time (UTC). This means that the comm window can technically be across the International Date Line (and therefore the next day), depending on where you are in the world. For instance, the GhostNet for North America starts at 0100Z. This is technically the next day, on Friday morning ZULU time. Local to North America, this translates to Thursday night.
