I'm our krinky. one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, central, east, and south. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... libertytreeradio.4mg.com, Ron Am and FM Microstations, CB Base Stations, and Ultra Net Technologies East and West of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the hallmark network on 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 Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both Pitt 3rd and 5th and our friends in Colorado, the Civil War state. Waving the left coast, we turn back to the east, well, following the dripping snail trail of Feinstein as the stench and the excrement drip from the aircraft that took it back to Washington, D.C., the district of criminals, where all of the parasites and slugs and sloths and disgusting detritus are piled up into the heart of darkness. Well, the stench is before us, our eyes are watering, but we leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi and line in the Smokies, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million petticoat junctions, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, it's a beautiful early fall, late summer, early fall day outside right now. Temperatures are medium. Going to drop if it stays clear. Hopefully be a little cloud cover, but that's probably not going to happen. We'll see. As it is, it is the, well, we're better than halfway through the month of September. It's the 17th of September. It's the fifth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet socialist occupation of America with the K2000 and 13, Old Earth Calendar or Mayan. Crazy Town, Crazy Town calendar as we know. It has been a pretty day today. Got a lot of work done, still got more to do, but that's always the case. Don't worry, there's always more to catch up on. I will remind you that we're headed towards deer season. There are some ammunitions available at some of the box stores. Some are better than others. Remember if you've got a certain weapon, if there's sales coming up on 30, 30 or 243 or 270, if for some reason they put them on sale, take advantage of that. Shot shells the same way. Again, you should be buying ammunition for on-the-shelf use. Ignore the boobies and idiots who are going to ignore what we're saying. Stay focused on your purchase mission. Vote with your wallet. Buy more ammunition and mags as available. Another thing here, and I will reinforce this from the last hour, www.jgsales.com, press get Arizona, J&G has a whole bunch of magazines on the front page, AR15 mags of varying types and for the different calibers. So for those of you looking for a replacement or spare mags because you couldn't afford them, $10 a piece of the stainless mags these are ASC. I would highly recommend you grab if you're looking for standard AR15 mags the dark earth color and then pattern those out with some more camouflage paint just another shade of green is all you need. They're dark brown hit them with some olive green and do it randomly and that'll break up that pattern so it's not as obvious. Remember the dark ones? You can go just reverse, go a little lighter color or even go just OD green, two shades darker or fine. It's like black and OD green on the old military trucks. The disruption helps. makes a big difference guys. So take the time and be creative with a spray can. I am. Every day I'm painting something. I got one more thing I want to paint. Maybe still I'll get it done today between the two hour and the evening intel report. We'll see what happens. a couple other irons in the fire. Remember go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com. It is the 17th. We are clicking down the dates, you know, the time to the end of the month and we're trying to reach our goal. Ed can give us a update here real quick on what's going on with the account. We are only a short distance away from making the total amount, which is our goal. And this is a one year, once a year bill we have to meet. It makes it a lot cheaper. We save a lot of money this way. But, this is a viewer slash listener supported program. You watch our Liberty Tree radio page, you watch the Yahoo page, you go to and listen to the programming here. Well, in order for that to continue, to happen we need your help for it to be accomplished. So if you could pitch in you can go to www.libertytreeradio.4mg.com and I think Ed's got an idea there of what's going on so we're going to give him a chance to give you an update again. We have had donations coming in from several different points of the compass here kids so we and again PayPal we appreciate that using the Donatekey at LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. If you'd like to send a donation, PBN P.O. Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. That's PBN P.O. Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. And I think Ed's got an idea there of what's going on. Go ahead and jump in there, Ed. We've currently got $1,702 raised through the PayPal. Grand total being $2,000, that only puts us a little under $300 to reach the final goal. And that's what we were looking for people So if you can please take the time and donate We're very close and we still got enough time before the end of the month If you figure out you may have a few extra pennies and you know through a PayPal card or something that you can donate We appreciate that after all with two dollars. It's in there came from some place Yes, it did. We want to say thank you to whoever donated the $2 and all the rest of you that donated the many other dollars that added up to the level that we are right now. It is, by the way, Communications Tuesday, so let's not forget that there are Ham Fest coming up. We're headed into the fall. There's always a lot more stuff going on indoors, progressively, as we work through the season. into the winter months so be prepared really great to ham fest that come up in the winter months to include uh... october november and you know leading up to christmas you will find uh... radios batteries microphones anything electronic related to show up in a ham fest uh... one of our guys uh... it sent me an email he got a uh... six meter radio for forty dollars exactly what he expected plus a whole bunch of other equipment and is setting everything up mobile and to the 12 volt system. I want to say thank you for that follow up. But the cool thing is also you got a letter basically, same information from another person. The 6 meter radios are quite affordable, they are freestanding, they work for you and they get the job done. So this is a way to set yet another grid up. And the question was, now that I got the radios, what do I do next? Well, we're going to be giving you the information to follow up on how to become part of the relay system, which is really cool. We have two different repeater grids now in place here in Michigan so that one backs up the other just in 6 meter. 6 meters and a side guys it's so cheap it's ridiculous as I pointed out $40 $35 $25 will get you a rig and you're in business a transceiver for $25 to $40 antennas, everything else you need is pretty well off the shelf, a lot of it is used but in good condition and it's ready to plug and play. So you're looking at an entire mechanism on standby. Now it doesn't mean we're abandoning anything else, just reverse. I've told you this many times. We want separate transceivers for each of the projects we're talking about. That way if we lose something, it burns out, it gets shot, gets busted, gets folded, spindled, mutilated in some way, you don't lose all of your radio equipment at once. If you have one transceiver, it does everything. That's true. It does everything, which means it does everything. If something happens, if there's a choke point with a part of the microphone lock-in or the sound circuit, you don't just lose one radio, you lose everything. It doesn't mean that those little radios don't come in handy. They do. There's some micro radio technology right now that is the size of one walkie-talkie that will pretty well go all up and down the spectrum. But if something happens, all of your radio capacity goes down at once and you can't afford that. So diversify by creating separate transceivers working off the same rack. A lot of our guys that are setting up emergency signal communications for the townships right now, they're doing a great job of following through on exactly what I'm talking about. They have a series of transceivers that are stacked, one to the next, to the next, to the next, and they can monitor. One person can monitor all or with individual headsets and with the way they've set up the console slash the array, which is totally mobile. It can be folded up and put in the back of a truck. or it can be mounted into a radio slash radio van or radio pickup truck where the back end is set up with a little camper as a a Bic and a Tock, the command and control operations. And what's really cool about that is you've got three operators, then you have three people you can have monitoring each of the different frequencies and working as RTOs. But one person can pick up on all the work if needed, especially if they're in a non-active area and it's not as busy, if they're just in maintenance mode. However, if things become active, one man may have more to do and will be pulling his hair out very, very quickly. We don't want to see that happen. So, cross train, cross train, cross train, cross train. Everybody needs to know how to do other jobs. Many people in the military already know this. Just because you're designated with a certain MOS doesn't mean that's the only thing you'll be doing. It doesn't work that way. Well, he only did this. No, no you don't. Especially the more experience you gain, the longer you've been in service, that's like you people come up and go, well, you've got this class, right? In this background? Oh, yeah. You've got a certification? You know it's in my 201 file. Yeah, I checked. It is. I need to have you do this. Oh, okay, so that will cover that particular task assigned by, you know, army command training, blah blah blah blah blah, certification requirement, blah blah blah for everybody. Congratulations, your job is to wear that hat today, or every however many, so many months, because that's what you're going to be doing. In addition, all the other work you already do. Anybody who's ever worked in the military knows that's how it is. You don't wear one hat. It just doesn't happen. So, know how to wear the many different hats and a pitch in and all be wearing the same hat if you have to to get the equipment manned and squared away so that it does what it's supposed to do but that means cross training so you need to set up an SOP, Standard Operating Procedure for training new people coming into the system well that's where a single communications officer at NCO come in you people need to be out there you need to have an officer in charge you need to have subordinates whose task it is to deal with the shift activities. Oh, that's right. You're going to be working 24-7. You mean it isn't a two-hour movie? It isn't a miniseries with lots of big, big breaks where you can have some popcorn in between or sit back and, you know, laugh about what's going on. It doesn't work that way. Well, it will if you have the shift mechanism prepared and in place, and that means a scheduling person needs to assist with that. You need to work on this now. have everything in administrative posture ready to go so that when the time comes to plug everything in, it's plug and play. It's not that difficult to do, but it means you have to be thinking ahead and do it now. Another thing with regard to the BIC and ATOC is mapping combined with radio. If you don't have mapping, a lot of what you're going to be doing is plotting and or maneuvering forces or providing emergency service support. Guys, radio grids need to be identified through the area and established very, very quickly. And those radio grids that are set up can be the eyes and ears and pathfinders to allow you to figure out how best to infiltrate and exfiltrate in and out of an area. If there's been a disaster, are you able to move through that area? Do you know all of the alternate routes for transportation and movement to ensure that you can get from A to B, even if you have to go out of your way to get to from A to B, to get to the objective that's already mapped out? This is where your eyes and ears come in especially in a disaster planning situation if an area is Clear off the roads are clear there are if there are obstacles that require moving around a particular man-made object or natural object that may have fallen collapsed broken squashed folded spindle mutilated whenever It's nice to have the years now, you know eyes and ears in the grounds that you avoid becoming part of a traffic jam avoid moving into an area that may have military attachments and problems that you don't need to necessarily face if you know the ground and you know the road grid. So we need that to be a priority also, but mapping and up-to-date mapping whenever possible, upgrading constantly. Typically you will have an overview board for the area of activity and this will be updated depending upon where you are. This means you have to have a variety of mapping solutions that are real, not electronic, not computer. Batteries fail. Electronic systems may be shut down permanently. If your database is in electronic format, you're screwed. So you need a physical map that literally is the centerpiece of plotting and operations for the area. But it needs to be updatable. It needs to be changeable. Because if you move from one area to the next, or if you're again outside the area of activity, and you're moving into the area of activity, well you need the mapping that will bring you into the area, and you need the area mapping for the objective, where it can easily be related to by all parties involved and visualized. physically visualize. This is where in some cases you may want to also have color or even if it's just black and white images blown up of certain areas of activity. Let's say that you have 1 to 50,000 scale maps. But you have an area that you know is going to be the size of say two or three neighborhoods or an area that is of particular interest that you're moving into. Well, photocopy the technology is another plus plus and blowing up that area to a scale that you know allows you to better interpret or observe what's going on would be a good idea. If you can't do it while you're on the move, again this is an electronic technology you have to have on you know by as part of your administrative operation, do it in advance. have areas where you've already blown up and expanded the image and you overlap it with many images so you can literally create a map as big as necessary with detail as needed so you can reference it. And by the way color copies are cheap guys. So for instance if you have a household and you have so many miles of area of activity around that household that defense that retreat site It would behoove you to expand the imagery. You can do it in color. Oh, that's right. In fact, 8.5x11 color prints are about, what, 99 cents? 97 cents? 45 cents, depending on where you are. And you can have the image first of all blown up, take a picture, you'll have them take a picture, move the map, take another picture. By the time you're done you have the entire area around your objective or your defensive site completely covered and in even better detail than normally is perceived using just the 1-50,000 scale which are excellent maps to begin with. There's one to 50,000, one to 27,500, one to 25,000. It depends on what year was made, depends on who's providing the mapping. So you need to think ahead and act accordingly. If you have maps that do not provide as great a detail, you can always expand by blowing up slash, you know, focusing on an area, expanding the detail, and everybody can look at and evaluate what's going on. You may also, if you have a fixed location that is permanent controlled site, you may want to do the equivalent to a sandbox but in cardboard or in plywood cutout. where each topographic line is taken and mapped out on that little grid box that you lay down, you know, a piece of plywood, whatever you want to use, and you literally create an actual model of the terrain. This helps your individuals to even better visualize defense, mobility issues, and or construction and defense issues that have to do with securing, for instance, material, food production, whatever. but allows you to map it out and visualize it to physically have a small scale version although make you want to build it guys available in my own a model available to utilize to help move your troops or to secure your area. This I'm taking a consideration is not hard to do and cardboard is pretty cheap but we'll get the job done. to something to take into consideration there. And it's not difficult to add very significant features, all the man-made objects to include stuff that won't even be on the regular maps as part of the topographic visualization done in plywood or cardboard. Okay, something to take into consideration there. We are heading towards the bottom of the hour. It is the second hour of the Intel Report. The day is traveling, man. It has been a busy, busy day. I want to say thank you to our friends in Australia again, just in case they didn't catch us yesterday, and also to our friends in Ireland, Holland, Denmark, Germany, and England. Oh, and Scotland too. I want to say a special thanks to our friends in Scotland, Edinburgh, for the people that sent us also some techno equipment that got here via one of our other mailing sites. So I want to say thank you guys for paying attention. Somebody actually hooked into something and realized, hey, there's another place to go, which is cool. So again, for our friends overseas, watch in the mail. You have stuff on the way. We already got it in the mail. Nancy confirmed that today. So watch your mailbox. And for our friends in England, I know how tough it is. Bunch of stupid stuff going on right now. interesting song what is it I got I got a leather jacket oh come on what the heck is the name of that there are just there are several versions of it out there right now for our people that are listening in England understand it's making the rounds got millions of hits with pretty much every version that is every variation on the same song that's been posted so far some of you may have caught that in the chat room maybe maybe not but it's on YouTube As a matter of fact, we may even have Ed play that tonight. It is definitely just been taking off and going rampant. Not politically correct, but then again that's the whole problem. We're not going to stay politically correct in any way, shape or form. I think a lot of people in England are pretty well fed up along with Scotland and Ireland too, and they're beginning to act accordingly. Of course they have a longer road to hoe because I don't know what you're going to do guys. The system is just going to laugh at you and everybody is already disarmed. The shysters of course have been shoving political correctness down to your throat just as long as they have ours. But they've already got the weapons over there. So that's going to be another issue that everybody is going to have to take into consideration if they're going to decide to do something over there in good old England and the British Isles. I'll see what we can find there if we have any other questions. Meanwhile, and Ed's working on some other technology here, we may or may not have a bottom-of-the-hour break at the normal time. We'll see what happens. Yeah, I know. It's constantly tweaking. Actually, we're using the new microphone, as we have for the last couple of weeks now. readjusted everything hopefully it's sounding better I realized hey that doesn't look like that sitting the way it should and that was right a the one shield ahead on backwards I don't think it made any difference but it's just the idea if it looks better like hey you might even know what you're doing if you put it on right actually I just had a flip around a little bit run loose and one nut so I want to say thanks to the Joe and the guys again and we're going to plug in we've got two or three other pieces of equipment we're plugging in and I believe... let's see what happens here. Hold on, I'm looking at it myself. Ed's looking at the same thing here. Let's see if it works. As a matter of fact the name of the song for our friends in the chat, we want to tag this also. It's Brand New Leather Jacket. Pass this on to everybody. Give it a thumbs up. Subscribe to the channel where it's being posted. and make a comment, take your pick, but brand new leather jacket is the name of the song. It's actually been posted for a while but it's getting a rehash right now. A lot of people are listening in and have been picking up on it. It's brand new leather jacket for a lot of you overseas. Yeah, we already know about that one Mark. I know but it's getting another round, another go round so take the time, pick it up, check it out. and see what you can do to give it a thumbs up, give the site a subscription and also make it a favorite and comment. That would be the best thing you can do. Start changing the numbers. Also, for our friends that are in the eastern part of the United States, we have a meeting coming up, I guess, not this weekend, but in fact, let's see, what's the date today? 17th? Well, actually, I'm going to have to double check that. I'm sorry, guys. I should have announced this. I've got the message right here. It's a spike from our friends in Pennsylvania. I might even have to give, well, we're going to have Darrell with us tomorrow. We have a series of meetings in Pennsylvania coming up. They've asked me to attend. I don't know if I'm going to be able to make one of them, but I might be able to make the second. And so on the 21st and the 22nd, in the middle and northern part of Pennsylvania, there's three different meetings going to be taking place. They're pro-patriot slash militia meetings. I understand that again people from New York same guys we just had here in Michigan a few days ago we'll be talking with the Colonial Marine units in central Pennsylvania and I'm gonna get hold of Darrell see if he's connected on that maybe see if I at least get him to the meeting I can't attend so we've got eyes and ears and we give you a thumbs up on what's going on there again that's the mid Pennsylvania their Patriot slash militia meetings I don't have all the locations here yet but let me see if I can get that done tonight and I got to send an email back, I've got an email address here. Guys I didn't forget you, I just forgot you. Yeah, in other words we got a bunch of other stuff happening in the last couple of days here and it has been very very very very very busy so we didn't forget you, we'll see what we can do to pass on a yay or nay, whether or not I can make it for the 21st probably. We'll see what happens there. And we have a caller, who do we have? Hi, this is Shawn in Seattle. Go ahead Shawn, jump in there please. Thank you, I just wanted to make an announcement today is Constitution Day. Here's a college where I teach English and our team good students have to try and participate in a mock trial. Most students are aware of their Bill of Rights and amendments to the Constitution. And we're going to have the mock trial in the student library. And that's an exercise for students in critical thinking and winning the Constitution. I just want to make that announcement. Very good. That's going to be this evening? Yeah, from 4.30 to 6.30, Seattle. 4.30 to 6.30. Very good. Appreciate that, sir. What else have been jumping off over there in that neck of the woods? What's been the feedback? What have you seen in the control media with what's going on on the other left coast over in Washington last day? They rolled nonsense. Another shooting involving guns. And therefore we got to round up the napkins before the pins jump off shelves. Well, as long as my enemy disarms first, I don't have a problem with it because we won't. Oops, did I say that? Yes, I did. I don't have any problem with those people who think they want to take or else the weapon is being disarmed. Just don't think you're going to disarm us. You'll be doing fine. So just remind them of that a lot of people aren't gonna put up with their nonsense anymore I think everybody just needs to explain to them. You know we all know what kind of gas bags they are They're expecting us or people like us to go out and enforce for the panty waste whatever they're gonna do and we're not gonna help out We're not hiring out hiring out for that nonsense and the quality of what they're getting well You might recall that what just did the shooting is the kind of people they hire to do the shooting now, isn't it? Remember? That's what he was. So, just something to think about there. He just didn't get the mercenary job for Japan that he planned. That was one of the things that supposedly was the limitation. And I guess this is one of various Satoro's boys. He truly is, by all indications. If Barry had a son, this guy would have been his. Just like the knuckle dragon hoodie thug that was down in Florida that was a cage fighter that wanted to beat somebody to death and laugh about it later on his, you know, Facebook channel or whatever. Whatever he was going to jump onto on the internet. I don't see this as any different and in fact if it's what it sounds like, good old Barry Satoro helped to whip this stuff up to include the shooting that happened in Washington. And especially with all the nonsense that the Injustice Department helped to promote. So I don't see it getting any better, I just see it getting worse as far as that situation goes. I don't think anybody should be surprised, we should just be understanding and point out who's who in the zoo when this stuff happens. And as far as the firearms go, the only thing I can say there is to tell everybody, in fact even if you're in the same thing, no the only thing we tell everybody is buy more ammo and mags, you're going to need them, vote with your wallet. So you go ahead and just keep ranting about how you're going to go take the weapons. Eventually someone's going to show you how they can be properly used and you're not going to like it. So go ahead, anything else? Oh, I think we got Shawn's already gone. We are at the bottom of the hour. It is time for a break and Since we are just past the bottom, I think it works out fine for us. For everybody out there listening, it is Communications Tuesday, fairradio.com, FAIRR, F-A-R-R-A-D-I-O, dot com out of Lima, Ohio. If you're in the mid part of the country, fair's very convenient to drive to and visit, right off major highway hubs, guys, the 75 corridors. pretty easy for you to get to and that's Lima slash Lima, Ohio. Your choice, tomato, tomato, Lima or Lima. Either way, it's spelled the same way and you'll get there if you find it on the map. Anyway, we're headed to break and a little ear candy for everybody there. We'll be back. Anybody out there listening? Who is that band? Do you recognize them? Well, that song is off the album Brothers in Arms and oh, that's right. The title track is actually the very last song on that album. If you get a chance, check it out again. Brothers in Arms. And for our friends out there it is Communications Tuesday. Signal Communications with regard to other technology. Fair Radio, I mentioned them earlier, well again for our friends in the chat room, quite a ways back. You may not be, if you came in late, you may have to repost it for us guys, but fairradio.com, fairradio.com, 419-223-2196. That's 419-223-2196 or 419-227-6573. That's 419-227-6573. They're located at 2395 St. John's Road, Lima, Ohio. 45804 that's L I M a leema or lima somebody say mark its my mom and other people are screaming no markets leema It's leema. It's lima. It's leema. Well tomato tomato. I don't care which L. I M a is how it's spelled okay, which is cool. So every wish to you know pronounce it we can get into the debate later about that I don't think it's very important either way you'll get there. I hope by going to 2395 St. John's Road, that's 2395 St. John's Road, Lima, Ohio 45804 and their phone number again is 419-223-2196 or 419-227-6573. Now they have an entire section, yeah for everybody out there in catalog, you know eBay Secure order form number different subjects, but most important is that they do have a wide range of technologies available so if you're looking for certain things they have it on the shelf, but remember when they do list stuff guys there's a lot of things that they have that uh... well they just may not be on the shelf here in the uh... computer because there's too many things to list so if you're looking for items uh... that are unique or if you're looking for radio technology with a uh... p r c 25 or a PRC 20, I'll say, oh, forgive me, a 77 and PRC 25 or 77. They had a lot of parts for those. They've got a lot of parts for the 8s, 9s, and 10s, but they also have parts for the ANG RC 125s. The reason I bring that one up is that's a very common radio set we have all through the system. A lot of those came out back in the 80s. They were post-Vietnam and post-Vietnam common. The AIN-GRC-125 is a vehicle, typically jeep-mounted radio rig that was done for company commanders, but it works with a battalion grid too. And it has great versatility. There's a lot of add-on technology and stuff that was built. A lot of you guys own it. We've got them hooked up inside the ferrets, so actually more common, the Saracens, the Saracen armored cars, or any of the light unit armored cars that are set up as CP slash command units. The single communications trailers and sheds in many cases were set up with the ANGRC 125 racks because they were already palletized, easy to mount them, set them up and put them on down the road. Right now the big thing is there's been a wave again, not just with fair radio, but there has been a wave of Jeep antenna fixtures coming through cheap and in fact as as Ten dollars for a complete assembly brand new that's including the base the whip antenna all the fixtures and the free pole independent technology so you can take the entire Jeep fixture off the vehicle and Set it up as a free-standing base antenna which is really cool. So there's a lot of neat solutions out there. They're reasonably priced. Fair Radio has a whole bunch of technology on the shelf. Two numbers to mention or for me to go over, but you know, like, you know, initially I would just say that you got to sweep through what they have on the shelf, look to see what's there. And yes, they do have, or a lot of you have the Canadian versions of a lot of our American equipment. Yes, they do have replacement parts on the shelf cross-reference. So your best bet is to take the time and if you're looking for parts for a particular radio you can email them. Follow the instructions on the main page and tell them what you need and they'll go look to see if they have it on hand. Now that makes a you know again for pretty neat solution easy for you to be able to you know work out you is write down what you want let them know what you need and Then go from there now another thing. They've got are for instance World War two you see British ten-line switchboards for Field radios field forgive me field telephones. What's really neat? These switchboards they have both a buzzer signal system, etc They are $175 each in used fare condition and let's see they have a number of different options available. Operator's terminal board for World War II UC British Ten Line Switchboard unused for $35. I have to check that out. That looks like a operator's terminal board. I'm going to have to see what we got. Oh, okay. That's one of the other, it's a replacement fixture. Ah, cool. Well, I'm going to have to check that out because we do have a number of the older pieces of equipment like that. I'm going to have to see what parts they have. They didn't have all of these listed before, but now they do. So if you're looking for a switching board, if you're looking for Spare parts, tubes or other components, handsets, short radio nubs, you name it, it's there in a whole bunch of them. Different sizes, different types and shapes depending on what it is that you've got that's going into service. So you definitely are going to want to check it out. Batteries, mounts, cables, canvas items, controls, speakers, it's a little bit of everything, handsets and headsets. If you're looking for certain types of material and equipment that you need for improvising, yes, they have raw materials too in terms of components. So miscellaneous items and accessories, microphones, all kinds of microphones, whatever money you want to spend, you can spend it. And in fact, we have several of those, but I didn't know mine was worth 200. Wow. One I got's worth about $300. Maybe we got to sell that one. It's not a gift. It's something I found at a yard sale. Hey if that's worth $300 I'll sell it for two Anyway, and mine's in better shape than the one they're offering for three. Hey That's pretty good. Mine's in actually excellent condition. So we'll see what happens there. I might even get into a little haggling with them on certain things because I know there's other people looking for stuff too. And you just never know what you're going to find. Fairradio.com. Fairradio.com. That's F-A-I-R. Radio.com. Another couple of tricks here real quick too. Rubber bands and plastic bags. A lot of your radio gear is weatherized to a degree, even your US military stuff, guys. But if you're looking at soaker conditions, it's a real good idea to be carrying auxiliary weatherizing technology. Well, that sounds real. That's a big mouthful for garbage bags or plastic bags of different types with rubber bands on hand. Rubber bands are a wonderful thing. However, maybe you don't have rubber bands and plastic bags are not a big deal. You can scavenge bags from all kinds of packaging. I just got a bunch of Ziploc bags for free. Somebody was tossing out some promotional stuff. I ended up with about four or five hundred industrial strength Ziploc bags here the other day. Actually, I just went through them last night and I think I pretty well straightened them all out, got rid of all the junk that was in the containers and saved the bags back, got a few other things out of the deal. But I didn't get any rubber bands. Where would I get rubber bands from? What's a natural occurring source where you can actually use them for a lot of different things? Where would you get rubber bands from if you were in need of them? Well, got any bicycles that are recs laying around? Or do you have somebody who works on bicycles in your area? Have somebody who might have maybe a bike maintenance business or a store? You think they change out tires? You think they save the old tires for the bicycles? You think you might have a tough pair of nice, you know, cut off shears, you know, scissors? You think you could cut that inner tube into rubber bands? So I guess that junk isn't junk, is it? As a matter of fact, for a lot of you guys that have web gear and you want some kind of keeper material to stop stuff from flopping around, this is an old trick that's as old as our web gear, guys. Bicycle inner tube tires. You take and cut a rubber band, whatever thickness you want. I like to do about three-quarters of an inch. Slide that onto your Webgear suspender. You got something you don't want to see flopping around. You slide it up. It expands and stretches out. It's in a dark, tactical color to begin with. And it gives you lots of support so it can't bind, fold, spindle, or mutilate. And it will take a lot of stretching and stress. Hey, that's cheating, but do I get just one rubber band out of a tire? Well matter of fact anytime I get tires like this Ethan my youngest son is changing out tires and the bikes that he uses and the bikes that we have that we find The old inner tubes don't get thrown away plus we also scavenge the Schrader valve that's on the bike tube itself That's a freebie very well made. You've got a regular valve tool. You unscrew the Schrader valve cord that's in there. Put that into a little baby food jar or a plastic small peanut butter jar that's sealed and you've got spares right there. Look at that valve. Would you want to try and make it? You ever thought about that? You think you could? Oh yeah, I've looked at that before and I've said, let's see, the core of a Bic pen, of a cookie pen if we have any cookie pens left, a garbage one, take the spring out of that, have to take a piece of brass and a real fine rat tail file and start working. And yeah, for all the effort, all I've got to do instead is turn around and use my little valve tool and take the valve core out of the stem and I got myself a spare and I can get a lot of them that way. I didn't seem to make more sense and try to have to make it from scratch. Doesn't mean I wouldn't do it. Just means why should I be doing it now when I can get all the goodies and spares? I won't throw out the pens either because I'll need spare parts from it to make other things. But Cheap, inexpensive, very durable, tactical colored rubber bands for any number of different uses. Well, if I need rubber bands to, again, first of all, take the bag, overlap the radio, and then seal it, I'm going to twist the base, I'm going to turn it around, take the rubber band, wrap it around it, wrap it again, twist it around itself a third time. Now I have a secure system for ensuring that my radio or my headset slash handset or any other piece of equipment that's out there that's in my pocket or in my web gear has another layer of weatherized seal slash a cover to keep direct or indirect moisture off my electronics. Water and electricity typically are not a good thing, as we know. Simple solution, but it's something a lot of people don't think about. The only real radios that are really well weatherized out there are the marine radios. Doesn't mean that other radios aren't set up for outside conditions, most are. But remember that marine radios were built for salt, water environments. Now let's look over here in Michigan. If I look to the left, fresh water. If I look to the right, fresh water. If I look to the north, and I look to the south, fresh water. No salt water, but you know what? If it can handle salt water, it can sit there and get beat on by fresh water all day long, and many, many, many more won't even affect it. Oh, well that's kind of nice, something to think about there. But other tricks with regard to weatherization is also lubricating the equipment. Now you don't go crazy on that, but remember that a number of different types of plastic preservatives are out there and they really are handy because they're designed to repel water. Let me give you a little trick hint about a couple that work really well. Automotive slash car body waxes. Everybody goes, what? Well, think about it. They're designed to actually what the polymers do that are in car waxes and car buffs that are not the gloss type. You can actually remember, guys, you can get satin finishes, too. The satin finish has a different type of reflective material that is designed to enhance, it's a crystalline, it's designed to enhance or soften the reflective texture that creates the end result with that oooh pretty looking corvette or that pretty looking charger or that pretty looking Ford Mustang. Well, instead, using the satin finish coat on a lot of the material that you're going to be keeping in a radio bag to begin with, let me give you an example, the PRC90s and PRC77s and PRC10s, we used to car wax them. And the reason for that is it, again, seals up the crystalline structure And it isn't going to gloss finish the material. Now there's other options, and gloss isn't even a problem. The idea here is what you're doing is you're helping to seal the system up. I would point out most of you don't probably notice this, but there are two things that your radio hulls are typically made out of. They're either made out of a magnesium aluminum combination, or they're made out of pot metal. Now, in either case, neither one is very happy, even with fresh water, if it sits long enough on it. And unfortunately, in many cases, well, people get into habits. Let me give you an example. You see all these images of battlefield situations with bunkers. Somebody sits at radio up there on what we call a radio shelf. but they don't necessarily pay attention where the water is dripping up there because it's not hitting them directly and there's a nice drainage point. So the same spot gets hit over and over again and the word oxidation is initiated. Once it starts, it doesn't want to stop. So another trick there is if you start to see heavy oxidation in containment boxes, radio boxes of any kind, break out the toothbrush, you can treat it just like you would a weapon. You clean out the cavity or the area where the oxidation is taking place. If you can, and here's a little trick, fingernail polish. Now fingernail polish is a wonderful polymer that is designed to do what? Well, it sits on the end of human digits that typically tap on things. get hit by things, people pry on stuff, and the idea is that the polymer that's usually used on those fingernails is designed to take a lot of abuse and flexing. The advantage it also bonds to a semi porous material. Remember your fingernails are porous to a degree and when you paint them, well the only way you get them off is with that paint off without chipping and biting a lot of it off. Scraping it off your teeth you can do I guess, but you use fingernail polish remover. which is again designed to be my it's a caustic that's designed to lift the material away from the original organic material it's bonded to. We're not worried about taking stuff off but fingernail polish it comes in many many colors and if you don't think so go get yourself a fingernail polish guide. Now why do you bring up fingernail polish? Well there's a couple reasons. Number one, what's really cool is most fingernail polishes are put into containers that are designed to be very robust and bounce around. You can get blacks, greens, browns, earth tones of all colors in fingernail polish and especially in those colors if you watch like Distress Shops you'll find that those are the colors that show up. Now this gives you something to fill in those pits and pock marks with or if you get a ding or a scratch, paint it in the field. Get that filled so it doesn't start to become a cavity. It will be, it's just like anything else. Where the scoring or damage takes place, that's where it's going to come through. I would point out that that same fingernail polish is one of the little tricks that armor has used with the AR-15 for years. How many of you carried any of the post Vietnam M16s issued out after the war? You notice you might have had some what looked like really like dark blue or like a weird blue color you know like line here or a weird line there and it went in odd shapes and it didn't make any sense. That was an armorer solution with an armory sealant that was nothing more than a high polymer fingernail polish that was designed to fill the receiver whole scratch or mark that had dinged or dented just like we're talking about blims earlier. It was designed so that it prevented any additional oxidation. And by the way, remember the AR-15 is an aluminum receiver. If you do have a significant cutter scratch on the surface, you better be polishing it slash cleaning it or whatever, or You take that fingernail polish in those tactical colors and you seal it up. It'll take all the scrubbing and cleaning you need to do for a good period of time. Same is true with your radio equipment. If you have damage like that, if you think it's bad on the hulls of the radios, military dials typically were made of pot, pot metal. I don't know what the hell metal or material they made them out of. But if they start to break down, there ain't nothing going to stop it, short of sealing it up. And in fact you'll notice that basically that's what they have on the outside of the finish of most of the dials. If they're not the polymer slash plastic, you know, switches, they're going to be the pom metal which was typical for all the military larger dials. If they start to oxidize and break down, they don't stop. So you want to make sure that if you get a ding or wear out the paint on those, find something to seal it back up. You can match it up, which is not critical, it doesn't have to be pretty, but you can find tactical paints. I mentioned many times here's another one. Modeler paints are really great. Not just tester, go to a real hobby store where they have a variety of different German modeling paints. You can get every stinking camouflage pattern you can imagine. So whatever color you think you want to repaint those dials, congratulations you can. Just don't paint over the identification markers and the ID link points which show you where the switch is working. You know, the pointers, you know, and lines. Make sure that they're repainted as they should be. By the way, this is all stuff we had to do in the field because when you're using a piece of equipment constantly and you're out in the woods 24-7, stuff gets beat up. And it's the job of each person to do the PM or learn the tricks of the trade from skilled tradesmen who have been using the same equipment to keep themselves alive. Learn from the mistakes or learn from the educated process of others. You won't live long enough to make all the mistakes yourself and your equipment won't survive very long if you don't think ahead as it is. But in your little repair kit, if you're an RO or if you're an armorer, fingernail polish in a variety of tactical colors is really a pretty good idea. Let's not forget that the, oh my goodness, pancake. You can get it in shades that are so Twilight Zone, you know, goth. that you've got all the camouflage paint out of the knee if you pay attention at the yard sales. Hey, that's separate from the radios and the rifles. And you thought I was just going to come up with a way to make cosmetics work for you with weapons. Awwww. Listen, no, no, we don't need any rouge on the cheeks. No, that won't camouflage you at all, but it may attract attention with other poofdas on the other side. That could be a way to bait in more weapons, though. Anyway, we're at the top of the hour. Ed's taken over here for the time being. God bless the Republic. Death of the New World Order.
