Live 365 Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm. And keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors, so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores, and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise. Take a stand. Defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land. Preserve our great Republic and each God given right. And pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms He fought to keep what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? The drums the drums go to the sound of the drum saber drawn Well, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. It's the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Horkie. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, southwest, south, central, and north. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... liberty tree radio dot for m g dot com p b m dot for m g dot com and we are alive three sixty five and go to liberty tree radio world so on a m and f m micro stations cb base stations and ultra net technologies both east and west of the mississippi along with southern and central alaska We're on the Hallmark network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed towards Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, a chunk of Nebraska, the third of Wyoming, also Iowa slash Iowa, the Dakotas and Montana of course. And many, many other parts of the plains that two of them are to mention. But I think if we hit the Dakotas, that's a big chunk of the plains right there. Yep, it is. Anyway, we are then across over on the other side of the Mississippi, the Golden Spike Project in motion, even as we speak from one end to the other of the Smokies. I want to say thank you to the restaurant crew, the grandma teams, and the OK teams for their efforts. Reminder, there is a party on the beach this Saturday, party on the beach this Saturday, party on the beach this Saturday. Also, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday, a meeting at the restaurant on Sunday. So calling your meals, make sure everything is taken care of. I do not know about transportation requirements for moving material. You'll have to check with your team coordinators for that this week. I don't think we'll have a brief until late in the week when it happens, but I will let you know if there's an update. Anyway, it is a beautiful 17th of August. Dun, dun, dun. It's the 17th. and before the top of the hour if you can if you'd like to donate for instance a binocular camera combination this is binocular with digital camera typically incorporated into the system it does not have to be latest generation equipment guys there are either hand me down pieces of equipment that can be found out there or and this is the other thing go to any of these big sports arena companies like Cabela's Down below down in the back they have a markdown section with a whole bunch of discontinued items and sometimes I got pretty good prices sometimes and so so You need to check it out to see what they have laying around but in optics now There's there's three things they always have big piles of game camera technology Oh, there's like two racks full of that sitting there on the far wall when you come in into the alcove underneath It's usually to the left And then radio and optical equipment. More radio than optics, but there are other pieces of equipment there. And you might even find a discontinued model or a change out model of the binoculars with camera combinations. So there's an option there with regard to what you can choose to perhaps donate to the Arizona militia. Everybody wants to coordinate on that, team up. And between everybody, pitch in a few dollars and end up with a solution. So go to arizonamalicia.com. ArizonaMilitia.com, ArizonaMilitia.com, the address for shipping. The new one is there on the website. If you'd like to find out more or perhaps ask a few questions, ArizonaMilitia at Hushmail.com, ArizonaMilitia at Hushmail.com, ArizonaMilitia at Hushmail.com. Take the time, plug it in. and see what you can do to find out about what's happening down there and what it is that may be useful. You may have something on hand. At the very least, more optics are always good. Maybe you've got a pile of something somebody donated that was a special promotion or something. Extra binoculars, even if they don't have digital camera technology, are still something that would come in handy. More eyes, more people that can reach farther with what eyesight they have would be a plus. Our objective, by the way, is to have a 100% night vision deployment capability for the up and coming deployment as it develops. Technically, this is Minuteman 3, extended and on steroids, guys. So this is the Minuteman 3 deployment in its best form, with everybody doing their part and plugging in from all over the country. They're serious, but again, we've got other people that are motivated that need assistance that are also down there in the area. If you've got family and they're participating, hey, maybe you want to pitch in a little bit in their direction. In the long run, it's going to end up down there on the border with everybody else. It's that simple. The other thing, again, with regard to communications ideas, don't forget that you have local government auctions. You never know, but a lot of people don't want a lot of the stuff that's used in law enforcement or in operations like this. Let me give you an example. If I say U of M, the last thing you're going to think is extra military armament and equipment or gear, right? Well, if you go to property control right now, they've got a box full of rigid holsters for the SIG P226 type pistols. P224s, P226s. Excellent condition. Matte finish or gloss like ultra gloss finish, take your pick. More like the patent leather finish. Personally tactical would be your choice here, but stuff like that shows up at resale points or disposal points. And the more you buy, you can always finagle guys. If they can get everything off the shelf at once, they'll be happier. They don't have to worry about fiddle parting with it anymore. They're not going to mess with it. Oh good, it goes out the door on one block. Fantastic. You'll find radio equipment, you will find recording equipment, you will find camera equipment, you will find towers, you will find anything, furniture, lab gear, anything you can imagine. So if you can, take the time to check out and see what they have sitting on the shelf. Once you get a chance to check it out, scope out what's there, you never know, you might find quantities. Also ask, hey, you got any more of this stuff coming in? Oh yeah, that apartment's gonna be getting rid of a whole bunch of these things pretty soon. I gotta go pick them up. Ah, wasting my time. Well, hey, I'll tell you what, why don't you just put me on the list for let me know when you get this stuff in. And before you start marking it up and throwing it on the shelf, maybe we can make a deal. See, there's one of the things that I consider. Colleges, universities, institutions, all of them dispose of. Sell stuff. Sometimes they don't know they should be selling it, they'll just toss it. Well, before that happens, if somebody can get some freebies, fantastic. But be careful there. Make sure that again, you've got some way of covering your high end debt on that. Don't just carry stuff away. That's not what we're interested in. There is a glut of technology, not necessarily cutting edge state of the art, but more than serviceable enough for what we're doing. So it is in your best interest and the best interest of our efforts, especially with regard to this deployment, to see if we can round enough of it up and start pointing it in the right direction. A lot of troops will be using the equipment. You may be using the equipment while you're down there. Purely a matter of choice too, is whether you're going to ship it. or if you're going to just wait and take it down with you. Ideally, again, we want to make sure it gets to where it needs to go. If you are going to start shipping it, start piling the stuff up, but make sure it's boxed for transport. You know, hey, a little bubble wrap from the throwaway point behind one of the department stores goes a long way to protecting stuff in transportation. I collect bubble wrap anywhere I can. And we use it for shipping, we use it for also storage, that way stuff doesn't get busted up, it's got a little more protection. Oh yes, it's more obnoxious to deal with when you're moving it around as far as moving stuff out and unpacking things. But guys, if it's there intact in one piece when it gets to where it needs to go, it was worth the effort. Okay, so things to think about. Also, styrofoam, peanuts, hardened impact foam is great and it serves more than one purpose. If you can, if you can use packing material that can be used at the other end for something else, all the better still. So just be creative, think ahead. Other things, and I mentioned CBs and I will reinforce this again. Guys, the industry is hurting. There's no doubt about it because the $29.95, you know, $30. CB is a reality at the truck stops right now, Midland or Uniden. I have not seen as many of the Uniden radios out there, which I think is rather interesting because the Unidine systems are excellent radios. We have used those in the 510 and it can be the A, B, E, T, D, T and L, K and P, whatever BS letters they put after it. It's the same basic board over and over again and almost all those are upgradable. It doesn't mean you necessarily want to, but if you've got somebody that can tweak and you want to open up the finals and the thing, you want to open up the radio so that it has more range, yes you can do that. Personally, remember these are supposed to be squawk boxes for inter-communications within your vehicle column and or from the house to the car in normal range and operation. Say you're to and from work or to and from the grocery store, etc. So you don't need to be able to talk to Texas. from Arizona. You get my drift? Not with those boxes. And for $30 a piece, you can go in there, pick up the radio, pick up a lighter plug for power, or you can hardwire it. If you know what you're doing, you can plug it right into your existing fuse box. There are typically two, three to five, maybe ten, depending on how big your fuse box is, fuse stations that aren't being used. So you can actually power them up and lock it right into your regular fuse system and create another safety online, in line for power. That's not a bad thing to do, won't hurt it at all. You do the same when you plug it into the lighter fixture because it's still, remember the lighter fixture has a fuse and then typically you have a plug fuse in the system. So you are already setting a double buffer up to protect the radio. Now, that's pretty cool as it is, but if you want to isolate it and make it independent so it doesn't shut anything else off when the time comes. But a quickie solution. Ashtray cigarette lighter plug. About $3.96 is what I looked at as the price. Sometimes cheaper if they're in the bargain bucket over at the truck stop. Radio, $30. Magnet mount with about 16 feet of coax, depending upon which Chinese company or Taiwanese company made it. about, well, about $24.95. They were $16. It's as cheap as $19.95 and you're just going to have to shop around to see what's there. Now, is that a Wilson antenna? No. It's not a Wilson. It's not a We Willy. It's not a Wilson antenna in any way, shape, or form. It is the cheapest, quickest solution off the shelf. This way you can afford to put one on every vehicle you have. Get one into every vehicle or watch your resale shops or watch your yard sales for portable little like help or emergency CBs. Now remember a lot of those radios will not have 40 channels. They'll have 23 channels. Oh, that's right. Remember they added channels later on to give us 40 total because it was getting a little crowded on those older CB grids. And in doing this, they actually, the interesting thing is most people when they see the numbers side by side, they don't realize that there's a major step in the, and distance between the original CB frequencies and the add-on frequencies that were plugged in later. Another thing to think about. So, if you can, again, if you've got other, I've got two or three here that are in a box right now that are ready to grow, I just have to hook them up and I want to do a final test on them. They're only 23 channel radios, but they'll work just fine. They've got plenty of power, and they've got lots of life in them still. They need to be cleaned up, they've already been cleaned up, everything's been checked under the hood, and they're ready to go. You can do the same thing. If you see something where grandma's got a yard sale, oh, I haven't used these, this radio since the 70s. Hey, come on. It doesn't look like she grabbed the base of the antenna and used the thing for swinging a cat, you know, for bouncing on the wall. No, it looks like she put it back in the original box it was in, and it's in the original case. In some situations, they never even used them. They're still in the box they came in. I'd say that's a pretty safe purchase for $5. So if you can get them for $5 or $10 or even $15, there you go. There's your answer to the radio problem for that other vehicle you couldn't afford. See how that works? You can't afford to do it. Yes, you can. Just use common sense. The other thing, marine channel radios. That is the other direction to go. Oh, by the way, do you think that boat companies right now are making real big money? You think there are some boats left and right? Yeah, really, are they? In fact, they've got a glut. The paint on the boat is on the flat bottom boat, so they've got stacked up. They're starting to turn. kind of a softer green because its original OD is the paint actually getting cooked from being out in the sun for so long and it's never touched water since it was originally tested, if it was tested that way at all. Anyway, anybody that's got a marine service that's really big sells marine radios. Yeah, they do. And they've probably got a stock and inventory piled up right now. that if you were to go check them out you could probably make a pretty good deal on a handful of marine radios now the nice thing about marine channel radios guys is everything that you use basically for CB operations, it's identical in terms of familiarity. Your understanding of the radio system, they work the same, the basic radio works the same way. Some of them have intercom connects too because you have a radio up on the flying bridge and sometimes they wire one for the main bridge, the enclosed bridge for inclement weather. So you have the opportunity to pick up some really neat technology there, but it's not essential. The intercoms are irrelevant when you're using one radio in one cover and one radio in another. Yeah, I get my drift. So that's something that's not critical. You don't have to worry about hooking that up. What that means, though, is that you have another band, another area of communication that chances are is not going to be interfered with. Experiment, plug in your marine radio and listen. How much traffic do you find locally? And by the way, you have a lot more in the way of channels with a marine radio than you do with a CB radio. And in almost every case, you'll find that it is virtually dead. There's hardly anybody. In fact, let's put it this way. If you're in Iowa or Arizona, you think that you're going to find a whole lot of marine frequency operations taking place there, radio frequencies being used? Probably not. So that makes it a pretty open band for combat operations or for signal communications operations where you're trying to keep yourself safe. I heard a beep. Who do we have? Mike from Ohio. Jump in there. Go right ahead. Well, I took your advice and I picked up a marine radio. I bought one off eBay for $70.90 shipped to the house, UNIDAN, brand new. So, got to go buy one out. I was just wondering if I could use a regular CB antenna for that. Well, typically they need a little more wire, as far as the length of the antenna itself, but that's seen people work it both ways. I would just pick up a marine magnet base. They are available. It's not a big deal because they do have them or set them up for portable use, or what I would do is go with a mirror mount fixture. The bases are the same, the only thing is going to the truck stock to pick out what would work with your vehicle. The reason I say that is because they do make marine specific. Years ago, and I was checking with one of our friends, we found that the one company is out of business, they used to deal in only CB and only marine. And they offered a marine radio, three different sized marine radios, three different, and the antennas basically were all the same. and then three CB radios and three different antennas and they square those roles. The biggest concern there is because of the fact that the primary line, the primary pole, you have to adjust for frequency and height and as I recall I think it has to be a tab longer. I may have to be hitting the head for that one but as I remember and the other option is that you do have dipoles that can be installed too on the marine units which will give you a little more range too. that are already coming, they come typically with the antenna. They'll be able to screw right into the base. So your best choice would be to go with the marine specific. That's what we've always done. That just doesn't, again, rather than, hey, you went to the right place, you can go to eBay or you can go to Craigslist and find stuff laying around. I'm expecting, like I said, there's a lot of these people that have sold their boats, they've still got a lot of marine stuff they've pulled off, but they may have sold the boat, but they may not have sold it with all the goodies. or they sold a boat because they were trying to get rid of excess and they might have had another one. So they pulled all the other equipment and now they're hurting so they're kind of moving the rest of the stuff that they have, which is typically the case. And so you're going to find odd man out equipment like that laying all over. I just got these two radios for free just about. One sailed because of that. And I know they came out of, I think I even know what boat they came out of now because I know who donated the radios. I got each of the radios for 50 cents a piece. I couldn't complain. They are intercom capable too. That's why I brought that up. You could use these as a... For instance, they could be used much in the same way they used on a boat if they had intercom capability in an LPOP or in a fixed bunker complex because you could switch over. You can either talk or you can just close circuit it to intercom from one radio to the next like a radio telephone inside the complex. and then use it as a combat radio otherwise. But have you had a chance to plug it in yet? You don't have an antenna fixture for it? No, I don't have an antenna, no. Oh, no, it's not a problem. It's pretty straightforward. I would go, do you have any marine? You've got to. You're in Ohio, right? Yeah. You probably, if you look around, try to find somebody who's got a boat company nearby, a marina. They're always pulling stuff off. Ask them, hey, you got an old marine radio antenna you guys want to get rid of? Something is still working because you know a lot of times what is it doesn't look pretty because remember the antenna fixture and line are out there in the wash They're already out there out there getting you know out there exposed in the weather And a lot of times it's like well my the color is changing the plastic. Oh my god. We can't have that and so they Take something off put a new one on The other thing is if they're stripping a boat. They don't throw that stuff away. You know if they're yeah, oh I could horror stories about that but Typically the radio rigs and anything that can be dismounted and taken and put over into the shed will be carried away. So that's why I would look for second hand but in nice shape in that category too. In fact you can probably even find a unit antenna to match out that rig if you ask around. I was hoping to get a magnetic one for my car and maybe eventually I'd like to get one for the house too just in case. What we did is, and I've done this with a lot of base stations too, is of course we use an Antron, a 99, which is what I've got up above me right now. And for your base station, with the marine, all we did was use the standard mobile units initially, and then we found out that they make a variation, a knockoff of the Antron-type antenna for your marine base radios. So that's something to start looking for in a reasonable price range. They were as little as $59 and as high as, say, $80 for a base station antenna comparable to an Antron. And that's not bad. Somebody else did all the work. I did pick up a ham radio. It's an old one. It's in real nice shape. It's just a 2 meter, but I figured for emergencies it'd be handy to have. It's in real good shape. Well, you know, as we've talked about, the 2 meter is the precursor. They're more repeaters, I think, out there for 2 meter than anything else that exists other than the 800 meg cell phone. It's an old one, but... Oh, it should still work. Most of the systems are analog. I mean, most of the guys, in fact, they're analog digital capable anyway. Most of the guys built the systems and then did an add-on kit so they can interpret, they can work both. But a lot of them, for instance, I've got three analogs sitting right here that have to be, in fact, they're going to be hooked up pretty soon to another location. And they're motorolas. Two are motorolas. The other one was a complete home built, top to bottom. They're about the size. They'll have to fit into a room. They'll have to be in a place about the size of a phone booth once you're done hooking everything up. So that's the size of the repeaters that I have. So that's a good choice. Two meter is a complete grid in place. You want to go to some of the ham fest, start getting friendly with some of the people there, or like we've got something here. By the way, at the end of the month, it will be Labor Day weekend, we've got a little bit of a ham event coming up right over here at Domino's Farms. Over here straight north of you come up to Michigan to visit. There's an idea. And you can actually sit down with some of the people, including Captain Monahan. and he'll give you some pointers on how to use all the equipment. How's that sound? Because I'm just a beginner at that. There we go. Oh, he loves that. No problem. These guys are very patient teachers. That's the best part about it. A little at a time I've been picking up, I've got to pick up a couple of base CBs, so I've got those on hand. Now I've got to start putting antennas up, so I've got a J-pole for the 2 meter for now. So I figured it's got some more confidence. makes them and sells them. So I figured that you just make them out of copper pipe so it's just going to use his as a cop to get the measurements and make up my own now. Well actually home built typically works if not as well if not better than a lot of the manufactured technology. Doesn't mean there aren't good systems out there but you know if you take the time you're going to build something that's more industrial. It will take more wear and tear, more beating, and that's really what I like. I like to grossly over engineer everything. Assume the worst and we won't be disappointed. I did a nice real job. It's only like $26 for it. So now I got something to go buy. I got something I put up right away and I just measured it out, wrote down everything for now and then I'll pick up copper pipe and I can make up an extra to keep on hand. So that's the way to do it sometimes. One of the other things to watch for, and I mentioned this earlier, thank you for bringing it up, is watch for people throwing out old television antennas. A lot of times they'll take them down, even if they've cut them up, and a lot of times what they'll do is they'll cut them up, because it's easy to run the saw right along the primary rib, and they'll cut everything actually just about to the lengths you want to begin with. But you can use the components, you can use the metal for building all kinds of different antenna arrays. So it's a great way to build stock up. And it doesn't cost anything because somebody else did all, in fact usually somebody else went up and did all the work and took it down. If you're lucky, they really didn't know what to do with it so they brought it down in one piece and then you just disassemble it real quick the rest of the way and carry it home. I don't destroy antennas for that reason if I can find them intact because you never know what length line you need, whatever size line you need for your laterals and such. That's what the guy told me that I got the ham radio that was auctioned off. Well he does quite a bit. That's his main thing is ham radios. He's been into it for quite a while. So go on the internet and check it out and how you can build them out of all the antennas. I haven't run across any old antennas, but I figured, well, it's still copper. You can still get copper pipe, and it's still not too bad. Yeah, the Chinese have cut the mark that I'm copper to the point where right now it's still reasonably priced. And once you've got it up, even if it oxidizes, the stuff's going to be there forever. I mean, there's a number of different options you have as far as how you can seal it or how you can paint it. Remember, if somebody else sees copper, the only problem nowadays is feeds. It looks like copper or the last suit and try to carry it away. You gotta watch that. If they go to school with cut-off saws and whack the pipes off with the water running, I figure they'll do anything on a telephone pole just about, or like, excuse me, on a trimester, if they start thinking that way. I'm just gonna for now just get a couple... 10 foot lengths of PVC pipe and mount it up on that for now. It will go through a lot of work just to get a little bit of copper. Exactly. Well, the other thing to watch for and then thank you again, the banana mask, that's one of the things that I always eyeball when somebody has done like some work. Unfortunately, they get the idea, they bring the cut off saw and they start whacking it up into like six foot or four foot sections so it's manageable to throw away. If you can see somebody or you hear anybody, I always keep an ear out because somebody is like, oh man, I got that old antenna mast there next to the house. It's all one piece and I don't want them to do it. It's like, oh, you really don't want that? Well, hold on. Let me come over and take a look at it. I'll show you how to get it out of there. A 20 foot or a 15 foot or even a 30 foot banana mast, of course, is pretty manageable. You'd be amazed. And what you do to gain length beyond that is a piece of iron pipe from the hardware. Another 10 foot. That will give you a total of anywhere from as little as, if it's only a 20 foot or say a 16 foot or 18 foot banana mast, it's all one piece. You can then take and put a fixture on top and then run another 10 foot worth of iron pipe and put your end time on top of that. Height is always good, as we know. Typically what I'll do is take about four to six bags of ready creed, at least, I think we used 12 with the last one we did, and make a concrete base and pour the thing right into it. I mean, I'll put it right in, put the mast in place, center it and level it, and then we'll bury it and cement. It won't go anywhere. When we do have to get rid of it, it'll either rust and fall apart after a few decades, or somebody had to come in with a cut off saw and take it down themselves. If they start a cut off saw, the last thing they'll hear is small arms fire. Over the cut off saw, you know how that works. Buck buck, is that the saw backfiring? I don't think so. Warning shots? Yeah, I guess so. We can do that. Some years ago I had a pipe, you know, I had my old antenna up on and I had a tree cut down. It was real close to the house and I made the mistake. I had a cut down but I kept the pipe. So I was wondering if I could maybe weld that pipe back up on there. Well, you can weld it or how much pipe is left? Is it heavy enough you can thread it? You know, because you can use a joiner. Yeah. Is it a single or is it? Yeah. Oh, okay. You know, it sort of starts the base still. Everything's still there. I figured I could maybe... piece of pipe in there. It's a little bit smaller, kind of stabilize it so you can just weld pieces up. That's true. I'm going to put just a regular TV antenna back up because I'm not into all that paying for all that dish network. Anyhow, you don't get much out of it anyhow. Right. That's what we've been getting in that debate because there's, well, we're not worried about getting dish network or anything like that. But remember, don't throw away those little dishes. There's a number of different projects for them and depending upon the system that you have and there are some that you can and some that you can't. You can actually pick up C-band, half the system is C-band. In fact, I've got four of them on the front porch right now that are boxes and I understand we've identified at least one model of the four. They're all different. will take C-band. The other ones I'm not sure of. But if you can get C-band, you don't have the motor mounts like you used to have with the big dish, but you can target a single station like the MicroFX satellite frequency for satellite coordinates. And you can be pulling in the programming that way, at least from another source. I got one of those, but as the years have been going by, It's trees have been kind of growing and it's kind of hard to pick up the signal now. I might have to move it. Of course I got a, I just bought a dish a guy had, well, they ran out the place next door to me. They got direct TV, the people that used to be in there. So this guy ended up getting net TV or I just gave him a few dollars and I got the old dish from the direct. So I can modify it, pick up on it and use that dish then. so I can pick up different satellites than free air. One of the other things if all else fails for all of our listeners remember guys a microphone and a little bit of PVC pipe and you know pick up to a radio to a listening system and that dish will collect a lot of sound. If nothing else those little pie plate dishes make little wolf sears, make nice little wolf ears. You can actually direct them into an area and listen in. That's without a whole lot of super technology. It's being a little creative. The other thing is remember, don't rip the arm off of the thing. The arm was already attuned to a specific distance for optimal collection, which means if you put the microphone where the little collector is, the little plastic, that assembly, which by the way are about as cheap and throw away as you can imagine nowadays. I was looking at one of those that we'd taken apart that had been damaged. And it's like, whoa, these L&M units are really a bargain basement. But you can use the same fixture. In fact, center, take your microphone, center it right on the existing receiver. And it's optimally located for collecting sound, using it, say, as a directional against a target out in a field or whatever. And that can be your ears for your surrounding area in places where you can't be. It can. Again, it's already paid for. You've already got the parts and pieces. You've just got to come up with a few other trinkets from Radiojerk or off of a cannibalized piece of machinery. You have another set of ears that can listen up to 1,000 yards easily. I was throwing out some old fence posts. I just told them, yeah, I picked them up from them. I got that and a couple top rails, so I got some extra pipe I can mount. I figured I could mount these up on and pick up some different satellites. Excellent. It's interesting, well, I've noticed and I have not had a chance. I mean I've got one that's a multi head and obviously can pick up and receive, is receiving in different bands. I haven't had a chance to experiment with those yet, so I'll have to find out more. We're going to have to do more with the hardware. We've got too many projects. In fact, one of the projects we're working on today has to do with dealing with the radio station in general as far as expanding that particular area of technology. We have all the antennas. In fact, we've got two galaxies that are here, plus a cluster which are summer for the alternate, summer for the regular satellite. and just haven't aimed or aligned all of them. I've got them established, located, I've already got them up and online, I've got all their fixtures and control boxes in place. But now we're going to, in this next week coming up, the priority is to get the building, well, the building will be done tomorrow. The rest of the hardware will be plugged in and in place progressively over the next week or two. And it's already here. It's just a matter of sorting it out and taking advantage of it because my attitude now is to use it or lose it. We've got to start using the equipment, get it up and online, do something with it, or it's, you know, again, why don't we collect it. I could have one of our guys sit down and he would explain to you that that's something that we need to really be focusing on. Getting this stuff up and online so our learning curve increases dramatically, you know, with theory as opposed to application. And the best way to do it is plug it in and find out what works and what we know then, adjust accordingly, but get some projects. Get them to step one. You can always readjust and reconfigure accordingly. But you have to have something to work with as a baseline to begin with. It's kind of like the space program. For years we said, the reason we aren't going to go to Mars is because 10 years from now we'll have better technology. Really? Okay, 10 years went by and we didn't do anything. Yeah, but that's because now that we've gone to that 10 years, we figure if we wait 10 more years, the technology will be that much better. Really? Well, you still haven't done anything with it. Yeah, but don't worry, 10 years from now, we'll do nothing. uh... people to uh... that like this that need some of the screening replaced i could just put them off all of the people on that connected all you could use people one of the tricks one of the things that would work uh... have you seen the mesh material that used for doing stonework if you're seeing that it it's very cheap uh... it actually is about the same screen dimension It's going to be a little heavier depending on your antenna, but it's pretty straightforward. That would be one of the easiest solutions that I can think of. I've got some here. In fact, I was going to experiment with that and do a small parable. Just a small foot and a half dish with the stuff I've got because it's junk that somebody else threw out. Not old, it's brand new. But the screening is if you go to the masonry supplies. where they do the fake brick now. It looks like you're doing stonework, or you've got stone, looks like Tennessee Ledge. It looks like any stone you can imagine, or any brick. The screen that they put that up with comes in 4x8 or 4x10 foot sheets. So you can buy whatever size you want. You can get a half sheet 4x4 because they do Wayne's Coating type brick. And of course they siteways and do eight foot, but they also use smaller pieces. So what you can do is actually figure out what your length is on the eight foot dish. You need a four foot section. So maybe it would be worth it. How many pieces do you need to replace? I got some of the ones I got kind of pulled out. I figured I could drop. straighten them up good enough. Probably about three or four of them probably. Oh, okay. Well, if you still need three or four, then maybe it would be worth it. Just check to see what the price of that stuff is. I haven't looked at the cost recently. Get it up there. And you say that C-BAN, you can pick up quite a bit different stuff on that. So that's why I was hoping to get that up and get all my equipment up here running. Well, on that note, for a lot of our listeners too, the C-Band satellite. Everybody, guys, got to remember that a couple years ago when they said, oh, we're going to leave C-Band. Oh, you guys, nobody needs to worry about C-Band satellite. You know who was saying that? The industry. Why? because what they did is a lot of people thought, oh, they're going to discontinue C-band. They didn't discontinue it. They just simply got everybody to think they were going to, and then they absorbed the whole blasted system. So what's really neat is you've got all these NBC, ABC, and Communist News Network satellite feeds on the C-band that you can pick up raw. And as we've said before, there's stuff that you will find there that you won't see anywhere else, and they'll try. They'll wish to God nobody saw it all. This includes when they do raw satellite feeds like what happened with 9-11. There are people who got stuff all through that period of time that it's where some things are coming out after the fact. Oh, look what we got here. Look what we found here. Some people thought, oh my god, I can't show anybody. That's a really foolish mistake because typically if they already been talking about it and then try to hide it, well, all they've done is put themselves in the shadows where they can be shot easier. Whereas instead, you can pick up an example as we pointed out, the ceremonies for the transfer of the Presidio to Gorbachev were all on C-band satellite via live feed. But only, in fact none of it, none of the actual feed was ever played on regular television, but it was on the satellite feeds that went to New York and went to Washington, D.C. This included Madeline Halfwit bragging up about the fact that the Presidio was the first urban international biosphere. Now all of that was public and everybody intercepted it. Everybody had it as a feed, but nobody was allowed to show it to anybody. So you get to see stuff like I said, first time, sometimes the only time, and if you've got a VHS machine hooked up to it, hey, you've got it forever. We've shared miles of footage like that with many, many people. Had we known at the time, we probably would have intercepted even more of what was going on on C-band satellite from Waco. back in the day. It's just that people didn't think about it. Because I guarantee, now we know there was a little hint at this last year that it turns out that just exactly what I had said all along, that they were watching what was going on in Washington, sucking on tea and chewing on donuts and squeezing Barney Frank's butt while they were watching the murder of those children. And we ain't talking the fuzzy feed from way out there two miles away. They were watching off-camera uplink systems that were right there close up, watching the bat faggots and the FBI shoot and murder the Davidians. Now that has become a fact. Now how did they transmit that? Via a C-band satellite. And it would purely be a matter of, again, for our satellite, they aren't really pirates, but they call themselves pirates, and that they sail back and forth across the C-band net. and they intercept constantly. In fact, they've got usually 2, 3, 5, 10 dishes going simultaneously and they're on a scan mode. And they'll be watching multiple screens and stopping something as they come across the feed. Now, one thing to beware of, and I will say this to you, don't have any children around when you're intercepting radio when you're going through C-band because one of the other things that C-band is used for, and KU band, is for pornography from Japan to be transferred out from Japan to other locations and from Hollywood where they broadcast porn channels from their outbound. You've got to be careful and know where those are. However, and it's interesting to note that while they may be sending out the pornography images via that C-band, And they're using one of the sound nodes, in many cases, a lot of the Patriot programming is on the, that's why we tell people always pay attention to what you do when they tune in the satellite dish to a certain frequency. Be aware and check the image because you never know what's being transmitted. The node that's being used by radio is one of anywhere from 50 to 100 backup audio nodes. which they market because they've grossly over-engineered for safety to keep the satellite running in space because the maintenance mechanic can't show up very often. Like never. The Maytag man doesn't show up for Galaxy 5. So that's why again, you have to always watch. If you're going to put the TV up and you're going to be monitoring sound, always make sure to check to see what's up there on the television and there are no young ones around because, again, you don't need the television, the video to monitor the audio. And that's another blind folk, my dog. Yeah, there you go. Again, that's another interesting point too, is that some of our people monitor audio tracks because unlike what we're doing right now where we go both ways with our audio in the industry with commercial NBC, ABC, CBS, and CNN, and Fox and MSNBC, They actually have one stream and one link going out so you hear one side of the conversation and they have another stream coming back for the other direction. And a separate line. They don't run on the same lines. And so that's something you have to watch for. Typically there will be nodes that are side by side but sometimes they will be separated by quite a distance. Now the way to find that out is if you're watching the satellite when you're hooking up on your visual feed, It will ID, for instance, it will have a picture of a prepared studio shot where they're going to have an event because they always link up anywhere from half an hour to an hour in advance. You will see that there is a, you'll hear the feed for the one end where they're doing the audio test and they're constantly running something. If you look on the screen, it typically will give you the second coordinate for the other audio track before they do the live feed. So you can catch both ends, the incoming and the outgoing, which is another thing that you have to watch. The reason I bring that up is, example, before the Oklahoma City bombing, radio slash video pirates that were using satellite equipment intercepted hours worth of video feed before the bombing took place. Now, before the Oklahoma City bombing took place in Detroit, Michigan, at ABC, NBC, CBS, and at their CNN affiliate, there were military personnel in the studios already in place in full battle dress carrying M16A2s and carrying pistols. During the satellite raw feed setups that were being done in advance of the Oklahoma City bombing, The troops were videotaped walking around in the studio or standing off to the side as the cameramen were setting up the different camera shots. These guys were walking around in groups of two or groups of four. They were in the studios. They were already in place. Now you tell me what they were doing. And why would they know to be there on April 19th before the bombing? Almost as if there was a much bigger plan afoot. And there certainly was. So, again, part of the history of things to remember is that you never know guys what you're going to run into. That's why that VHS machine needs to be hooked up to anything you're running. And I will point something out on that note too before we leave. You're almost at the top, by the way. Another little point here. The VHS tapes, tape machines, now they're not poo-pooing them so much. I don't know if anybody's noticed this. We just had a sale for tapes over here at the library and people were fighting over them. people were rushing to get the first and the best as quick as they could. What's interesting about it is everybody forgets that VHS Audio is some of the finest recording technology that was ever made. Because there are more tracks available on VHS, the sound quality is phenomenal. So you don't have to use it. A little trick by the way. Most people wondered, wow, you know you're rebroadcasting when we had Republic Radio International. RRI and our offices were in Battle Creek. What most people don't know is the rebroadcast was done on VHS tape. And that's why many people had a hard time telling the difference between our live feed and our rerecord feed where we're replaying stuff, we're in a replay. That's why DHS is still a fantastic audio tape recording system. And remember, long play. You've got a six hour or eight hour tape option in extended play. And that will not in any way, shape or form affect the audio quality. In fact, just to reverse, it will improve, which is really scary. It's kind of like slowing down that big real to real tape. Remember when we used to do that to have fun? Real to real on slow speeds. Yeah, but it sounded real good. So that's going to be one of my next priorities here coming up. Jump to the Salvation Army. Usually they have walls full of them for about $10 a piece. And the most important thing is you'll be able to get a really nice grandma machine. Think of it. Some of the machines, the Toshiba's that are there, were $500 and $700 back in the day. When you look at it and you're like, oh, well, $15, $10. Really? Oh, OK. Thank you very much. So you'll get a high-end machine for a very reasonable price. And that's something that also for, here's the other thing, for signal communications monitoring like even on your weather and your 2 meter and anything else you're doing. That's still one of the cheapest and most efficient ways to record available. Certainly cassette's fun, but cassette doesn't have the quality that VHS has. And most people don't realize that, don't think about it. So again, we're trying to offer solutions guys. It does not have to be government biggest, latest tech. Let them spend the money that way. We'll spend the money on the stuff they already spent money on and operate for pennies on the dollar and still get the same job if not a better job done. Let me point this out. You know, and this is a fact guys, after the Oklahoma City bombing, The feds sent agents out everywhere they could where they suspected people had recorded the satellite feeds from that day. They spent more money trying desperately to find videotape of the satellite feeds than they did actually investigating the quote-unquote crime in the days after the Oklahoma City bombing. That is a fact. We know this because we tracked them step by step as they hunted for tapes. Hunted. And strong armed and tried to coerce and try to terrorize people. Now what would there be? Think about this. What would there be on those satellite feeds that would be any different from what the people saw comrades? Hmm, I think you can imagine right? So this is an interesting tool that's worthwhile, worth actually having up and online. You want to, I'll tell you what you want to close with me? Yes, sir. You stay right there because I know we're going to hear the music in a minute. We're almost to the top of the hour here. A quick reminder that Spike Timmons is coming up next right behind us. Hopefully we gave everybody some ideas. But again, don't throw out that VHS machine. Oh, and don't think, oh, well, Mark didn't like the cassette. Wrong. I have millions of cassettes. So don't throw out your cassette machine. If you've got one, keep it and just maintain it and keep it clean. That's the biggest problem. That's the toughest thing with the equipment, keeping it clean. and all of it will enhance, one will enhance the other. You have backup to backup to backup. That way when the time comes, that doesn't work. Well, you don't have to go buy something. You hit a switch, you pull a cable, plug another one in, and lo and behold, you're right there ready to roll, guys. Again, you can even do that with multiple VHS machines, multiple cassette machines, CDs. The same thing as CD burners are cool, but require a little more work or a little more effort. Most everybody gets plug and play. Plug in the cassette, hit record, VHS machine runs. That's as easy as it gets. Uh oh, we still haven't heard the music, by the way, and I'm buying us a little bit of time here. We should hear the music any moment now. and the engineer is scrambling even as we speak to try and get everything plugged in. Oh, I know how it is. Can you think of anything else before we go? All I've got to say is just get ready. Yes. The Edible is coming. Well, you know, and on that note, guys, the bad guys are scrambling in several areas too, which tells me that they realize they're not prepared and they really aren't. Everybody, you know, the other side, you know, thinks they're going to plug their fins. or try to plug a catastrophe and if they do, they're on the losing end of the stick. On the other hand, we have more people with technologies that vary so greatly that we're not gonna be offline no matter what happens. And the big thing is that when everybody's asking for a solution, we can offer one. That's why all the other systems that we mentioned at the beginning of the program are still tied in with everything else that was mentioned, the CB, two meter, all of the other shortwave grids, When everything fell apart in Katrina, everybody should understand. Some of it they took advantage of, but most of it they didn't. And only after they got a lashing, a tongue lashing by some people, did they finally take advantage of the ham radio grid that was already in place. But in the initial stage, they had everything ready to go, and the usual ham radio emergency grid was up and online the day that everything happened, because they all knew the storm was coming. So everybody secured all their equipment, put it offline, the storm hit, they put it back up, and FEMA refused to cooperate. So what does that tell you about the situation, guys? We have the solutions, and we can actually be talking to the world or talking to your neighbor as needed without any panic, without any crisis, without any disaster. The only people promoting crisis and disaster is the system itself. That's where the problem is. We have more than we more than ample resource So that there's no panic and no need for anybody to go to catatonic brain fart. Oh Well, we're at the top of the hour now I know it's seven o'clock and we should be hearing the music any moment Because we've got spike coming in right behind us here. Hold on a second And I'll tell you what's gonna take a second just a minute longer. Ah, we know what happened now There was something wasn't plugged in so be patient Anyway, we've got Spike coming up after us. Also, morris code, before we forget, we should mention this. Key can be used with everything. Key can even be used with satellite, by the way. Both uplink and downlink. Most people don't realize that. There are a number of different techniques that have worked quite well with every form of radio communication. Key gets through all jamming. and living by key is morse code so always remember you need to set up and have code on every radio that you have a code card now don't make it so small that you can't read it and i mentioned before earlier in the day or the first hour here we were talking about for instance laminating mapping laminate your code cards make a whole bunch of them up make sure they're very clean and then copy copy copy and then reproduce and put them with every rig you've got and where they're an easy reach Also, even on the wall in big block letters if you can. Well, there's the music. God bless the Republic. That's for the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. Both day and night. Hoorah! We will be here for, and again, we're going to be here tomorrow at the same time. We'll be back at 8 o'clock. Thank you, sir, for helping out. Thank you.
