Re: Any HAM radio guys out there?
I've been licensed and been active for 26+ years, currently hold an Extra class license. Last year when we had the earthquake in VA, no cell and SMS texting had a 5 minute lag time at a minimum. Something else to look into is winlink/airmail, it give you the ability to do e-mail from pretty much any...

Re: Ever considered buying an old missile silo?
Also look for the old AT&T Long Lines facilities, not as deep, but most definitely larger footprint and hardened as well.

Re: As suspected OBL raid was filmed via helmet cams
I believe that everyone in the situation room was on a video conference with Mr. Pieneta and several other folks while listening to the live radio feed of the operation. To my knowledge (and things could have changed), but the video from DEVGRU was recorded by the helmet cams and not transmitted as ...

Re: Illegal Immigrants Protest for Access to Higher Educatio

Re: Rifled 12 Gauge Pistol
It is my understanding that black-powder guns are generally exempt from NFA regulations . I believe you can have a b-p shotgun with barrels less than 18" and be OK . That would probably apply to my uncle's blunderbuss, at 16" and roughly .78 it makes a lot of noise and can be fun to put a...

Re: Rifled 12 Gauge Pistol
If it was originally manufactured as a longarm ( rifle or shotgun) , the barrel cannot legally be shortened less than 18" for a shotgun , or 16" for a rifle , without prior registration . Overall-length is also a factor ... A rifled-bore over .50 is destructive-device , and requires regis...

Re: Most Powerful Mobile Radios?
As for the OPs original question, any used commercial radio that does 110 watts from any of the reputable manufacturers (motorola, icom, kenwood, etc). In a year or so, you will see a bunch of used VHF and UHF gear do to the narrow band requirements that will be in effect I believe in 2013. The down...

For those interested in upgrading their license to General, the question pool changes Jul 1, 2011. So whatever study guide you have is good until then, but may only be so-so after that date.

Re: Most Powerful Mobile Radios?
I know, I'm resurecting an older post (I may do that as a new guy, with updated info) Check out MURS for unlicensed operation, similar to FRS but higher power and VHF. A good durable BTSOOI radio for this band would be a Motorola HT1000. You can generally pick them up for $100 or so. If you do decid...
