Try this link to a google search. As I recall, GWEN was deactivated some years ago with the shifting political fortunes of the "cold war" and the changing mission of our nuclear submarine fleet. |

As I recall, GWEN was deactivated some years ago with the shifting political fortunes of the "cold war" and the changing mission of our nuclear submarine fleet. It wasn't something to do with the submarine fleet, it was a digital packet radio network, for either FEMA or the DOD, that ran in the Lowfer band, around 170 kHz with fairly high (10 kw?) power. The idea was that it was a survivable network where they could put a bunch of packet relay tranceivers all across the country in rural areas. It ran into the NIMBY factor and the Peace Movement. The thought that your town out in the sticks could become the target of a nuclear attack just because they put up a tower and a shed full of transmitters caused a lot of opposition. Too slow (bits per second) for the cost was probably a factor. Mark Zenier Googleproofaddress(account:mzenier provider:eskimo domain:com) |
