Summary
Mark Koernke discussed preparedness and self-sufficiency strategies, focusing on battery sourcing and management, salvaging electronics from discarded devices, and amateur radio communications. He emphasized acquiring cheap used radios from hamfests and yard sales, repurposing old cell phones as security cameras, and building redundant communication systems using obsolete but functional equipment. Koernke also covered tactical communications concepts, including targeting signal operators and electronic equipment in conflict scenarios, and explained how to establish secure networks using CB radios and six-meter equipment that avoid government monitoring.

His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and speaking loaded. He said, bought a revolution. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from Tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the items we secured for you, we hoped you'd always keep. But Tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free, home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. To start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent, although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. Christian values can't be taught, according to this. 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 sick. You've given government control to those who do you harm, so they could burn down churches and seize our country. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn. Your daughters, your leaders, send artillery. and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. I mean 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? Sons of the Republic arise. Take a stand on the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the plan. Preserve our great republic and eat God-given right. I awoke he vanished in the midst for when his words were true. Not free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as parents trampled each god given right. We only watch him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. He stood by your bedside in his dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. Oh, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, not free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now, as parents trampled each god-given right, we only watched him tremble, too afraid to stand and fight, and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep. What would be your answer? He called out from the grave. One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters, both on and on the lines in occupied territories west, central, and... Well, ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to us on... Microific Network in the morning. Roles 1A, Minute and Micro stations, CB base stations and Ultra Net technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with OSCA. Good morning to the Aleutians and the red flag stores across the whole of the frontier all the way up to the Arctic Circle. Turning back over to the east of the Hallmark network from the top of Maine where the black bears Looking for a place to snuggle in for the winter. Oh yeah man, I don't want to share my den with any, well maybe a few other bars. If I share my den, I can kind of feed off their heat and I'll be a little fatter when I come out of the operation. Yeah, that's not bad. Anyway, all the way to the bottom of Florida where the Fiddler Crabs are hunting their mantra this morning on yummy man, one yummy man and contemplating their belly buttons at the belly button length. they had both belly buttons and belly buttonings. On yummy man, on yummy man, on yummy man. Cross the arc of the old South Mexico, Louisiana where the cajun all guarantee me deep fried and it's gonna be, they gonna be blackening that there fish and doing the boiling on the crawdad. That yep, guaranteed. along with Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both Fifth and Fifth and our friends in, oh that's right, well, Colorado, the Civil War state where it triggered pull away from it being a very uncivil situation. So in reality it will be again another war for independence, another war to fight for our liberty, another war to ensure We beat them down and kick them out for a while. People will get lazy. It'll start all over again. It's the part of the dynamic and animated battle of light. Congratulations! Partake or be eaten. Well, waving to the left coast where we talk about being eaten, the diaper white brown along with Feinsteinism vomits their wretched goggles across the landscape. in preparation to offer and handover california the california soviet socialist democracy the communist chinese as a beachhead for the retaking of america by foreclosure by the ring knockers the east with a center i'd we pull out across the plot that cut across the plane leap over the burgeoning banks of the mississippi land in the smokey so the restaurant is going to be okay teams good morning to our friends in cleveland o'hayo but three grandmas are still with us and that is a big least impact come over they hear and all the mom on the thirty first everybody out there for one of the ladies again it is the golden spike project alternative communications today's date well first of all it is move with on clouds like they were stripes on american flag which is kind of neat you don't see it all the time here but It's kind of cool this morning because we're getting red slash light colored stripes with blue in between and the sun working its way up over the horizon to beam its light across the corn fields here. Yeah, we still got the corn up. It's not drying up for them to take it in yet. But they're looking at it. Oh yeah, they did a moisture test yesterday just to see where are we with the corn. But guys, we have mega production. We are happy campers here in Michigan. The corn production has been fantastic. It is the 22nd of October. It is the 5th Caribbean Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with the K-2013. Cold Earth Calendar or Mayan. Crazy time. Crazy time. Oh yeah. Well I'll tell you what, we're almost on the first anniversary. Almost up. Not quite. But we're getting there. First anniversary of the Mayan were all going to burn to death because we sacrificed pigeons, cats, dogs, goats, and whatever to the Mayan sun god and probably some neighbors you didn't know about with hearts missing now and body parts and chunks being consumed by the... with the plastic obsidian Chinese copy of the sacrificial knife of the Mayan empire. Anyway, it is Tuesday, well Tuesday already, and it's also time to get up and go to work so real quick let's grab that cup of coffee. What is this? smells like richness. Hold on, take a smell again. Oh, let's take a taste. French roast, mondou. I've been feeling like I need some cheese, some wine, some onion, and then I'm going to surrender. Yeah, a little cheese and wine, some cracker, and I can surrender some more. The only problem with the French roast. But anyway, a little more taste, hold on. Oh, that hits the spot. That's gonna wake you up in the morning here. Pay out on your chest. Girls, don't worry about that. It probably shouldn't be a problem for you guys. Anyway, for the guys out there, that'll put hair on your chest this morning. A bunch of stuff that needs to be put out there for everybody. Number one, I gotta remind you, what did you do about your batteries this weekend and or what are you doing about your battery supply? Number one, make sure you date mark and keep where you can find them your conventional alkali batteries. Not all of them are conventional. A lot of them, in fact, I would say 99.999999% now are communist Chinese made. And what's in them? God only knows quality, way down in the toilet, even the better batteries that are nothing like what they used to be in terms of viability. But we also have to remember that they're being made differently behind the scenes, and we don't know what they're skimping on. See, that's a problem when everything's halfway around the planet, is you don't know what's actually been done. Just because the package says one thing, Doesn't mean that your little communist Chinese book buddies on the other side of the planet are doing something else totally alien And I mean totally alien so we need to be prepared Rechargeable batteries as far as industrial bulk you can buy industrial bulk at pretty much normal price But traditionally there have always been surplus. There's always a company that's gone on a business somebody's moved inventory So I can't emphasize enough buy rechargeables and watch for specials or watch for things where you can go to different companies and perhaps find something that is being surplus. Let me give you an example. If you need triple A, pay attention a lot of these battery packs that were made for older cell phones. I hate doing this because for instance, we use the cell phones like a walkie talkie. The older ones, the larger ones. Remember the flip down where you had the, like, they actually are like a phone receiver. Not the really, really big ones. Most of them are, of course, There's a number of different companies that were out there at the time, but they were a little bigger using but not much. However, good transceiver mechanism, more energy in general, nice little antenna that was extendable. And the battery packs for those typical AAA batteries with the size and thickness of those packs. Now, if you do a little research, you can find out what's inside them. Don't just start pulling stuff apart and find out. And I didn't need to break those up. uh... we don't really want to throw battery packs for those because they come in handy for all kinds of other specialized products uh... and projects remember that uh... can switch out we don't necessarily have to be operating eight hundred meg with those those are all eight hundred meg uh... cell phones but mean they can't be with little tweaking run up or down the bandwidth and become the unique court range but clean tran fevers something our guys working with for a long time The newer phones, not so much, not as reliable and certainly not as user friendly with regard to improving. Although again, components can be replaced and we've been experimenting with that. We're pulling apart some of the newer phones right now just to see what the, you know, again, we've got tons of them. People are tossing out, somebody else has already dropped or busted it. Hey, take the time and look inside. See what's in the guts of these things. The old story, find out how it works. Wouldn't be a bad idea. I mean, you might see something that and somebody else hasn't go pay guys what about this let me give you a sample a lot of these cell phones right now as opposed to the older ones have cameras have your thought about the idea that even if you're off service in the camera still working you have a surveillance system if you hardwire that leave it somewhere hardwire to another you know piece of equipment or yeah you could do that couldn't you i guess you can as matter of fact that's a very simple solution give you additional security cameras around your property or inside your house where normally you'd say you can't afford them. Remember a lot of times the services have been cut off but the phone itself will operate. So the phone camera works just fine. Suppose that you have a port that allows you to download what's on your equipment. Of course you can send it also but you typically have a port. Well, if you take and set up a port to a hub and then from the hub do whatever else you want to monitor with five inch flat screens, round screen analog, whatever, depending on what you've got in the way of the system, where you can do little five inches or bigger, but right now little five inch televisions are everywhere. And they have RCA adapters the whole nine yards. They have RCA plug picture. You can connect the audio and the video. Most important is that little cell phone has audio pickup. So you can use it to monitor, for instance, hallways. If you come up with just a little fixture or duct tape for that matter, wouldn't really make any difference. You can take one of those little cell phones and use it as a personal camera system. More than one, why not? A little bit of software and a laptop and you've got yourself a private hardwired, oh yeah, security system. And you did it all with stuff that you else wanted to get rid of or nobody had any interest in because I'm not going to activate that thing again. Fantastic. The only consideration is power, but remember that you also have another port for your power supply and your wall wart. Well, if you don't throw the wall wart away or you keep watching for more power supplies, then just in case you lost one for that particular phone, and they're getting tossed out left and right, go to your recycle points. There's a place over in Ann Arbor, Michigan where there's just millions of stuff that they throw out, which is cool because the stuff they throw out is some of the stuff we want. So you can get it for $20. twenty five cents a pound or free fill up the dumpster slash the landfill oh yeah but they usually do it just for that the cool thing is you'll find all kinds of those goodies lay in there anyway uh... that one solution but with the uh... larger phones uh... just simple two-way communications and batteries now the battery packs on a lot of stuff if it was something that you could plug in and recharge typically the upset somebody goes well The battery pack on fill in the blank went dead. Could be a battery pack for for instance a power drill. Okay. Well that's really cool because you see usually only one cell, one battery goes bad. The whole battery bank doesn't go bad. It's usually one battery. So somebody wants to get rid of or is tossing out a battery pack for a battery power drill. Typically those are double A or they're bullet depending on how big or small the battery pack is or they're the little half bullet or three, you know, two-third double and they're rechargeable and you can do a quick meter test and find out what doesn't work. Now when you unscrew or you pop open that hole that the batteries are in, you're gonna find that there's a whole bunch of them in there and there are some cases soldered together, in other cases they're held in by a fixture Kind of like what you're familiar with where you have the individual spring mount that holds the battery tension in place so that you get good contact. If they're soldered, it's not a big deal. There's two different ways you can do this. Number one, well, after all, you're not going to really use that battery pack again, right? You're not going to use that battery box. You're opening it up for disposal, right? Well, you can take a set of sniffers and snip off as close as you can to the head. on both end contact points and take off as much of the material as you can without desoldering anything. In fact, it really will probably give you a little bit of a spacer. Sometimes you have what are called industrial fixture batteries. They have a little less on the little stuff, or teeth, as you've seen on batteries, for the one connector side. So if you have that little piece soldered on there and you snip right close to the teeth, that makes up the top of the battery, and lo and behold you've got yourself enough of a shim or spacer that you'll probably get better contact when you put it into the battery rack that you use which is typically spring loaded and replaceable. Now the nice thing about this is even the bad battery will take some charge but I would take a big and I would put tire right on the side of it or put a big X whatever mode you want to use. but you want it to be playing up to somebody else if you tell them to do a job they won't get any confusion so tired is probably a good idea that way to understand that tired use last means tired use last don't throw it out better to get fifteen minutes worth of something out of a battery than not have any batteries so the battery doesn't hold its charge very long with no those the rod inside is disrupted in some way probably crack fractured whatever separated been separated in the factory but just finally gave up the gold. Pulled away enough with shrinkage or with whatever movement with the battery pack that the rest of the batteries in there were just fine. So this is another reason to watch for battery chargers that are wall mounted or wall plug, standard Dell 110 AC. You use those to bring up the charger. These battery pack batteries that you now have acquired, you pilfered from one location. Now, there are different chargers out there available. Personal choice, Matter of Wallet. But you can find for anywhere from $1 to $2, $3, $4 a piece. Just cleaned up one last night, I got for $3. It's actually only about maybe 6 months old. Nice little units, got a little plastic coverage, shields all the batteries, you don't get dusted up. uh... the battery chargers will do nine volt rechargeable they'll do c's d's e's uh... they'll do double a's they'll do triple a's uh... there's a bunch of batteries out there the nice thing about it as long as they'll charge the same basic value then look typically if you'll notice there's a variable height fixture inside there that allows you to put most every battery i just described into the fixture it nests where you want to put in there and you'll see the nine volt plug, you know, male, female snap. So you can just put your nine volts right in there and your nine volt batteries and walk away. Not your nine volt regular alkali. We're talking about rechargeable nine volt batteries and they're out there. Actually, if you see those and anybody's getting rid of any, grab them because there's a lot of equipment even in these handheld radios that are using the nine volt battery. Also older pieces of equipment. Now let me remind you of something. what's really fun is the bad guys are everybody's going over absolute digital in fact what's happening is the bean counters are starting to now so the cool thing is that some of the latest latest equipment based with analog technology at all this gives us a plus everybody understand that course we can't go all the kind of access digital wall we really don't care to access digital back what you want to eventually for the government and all the shicers operating whatever operating to buy more and more into the latest tech which typically is skimp tech. Remember with electronics guys that the farther you get down the road from the original model the more they try to beam count out every part and every circuit that they can. We've talked about this on the air before. Now the cool thing is for you, if you commit to old they can't even talk to it. Hear it, they they can come up with a band load of technology which you know is you gotta think about this ninety nine percent was gonna happen that's not to be available even if they come up with a whiz tech you know smaller piece of equipment how much is out there how many units are out there signal communications intercept is a show niche it's not everybody doing it so the cool thing is is that number one you don't have that many there hunting number two in the battlefield you're hunting for the text and you're killing them as quickly as you can so that that threat disappears. Let me give you an example. A lot of you guys were in the Cold War. Well, when you went down the hallway, if you were in an air base or if you were in an army base, you know, army, you know, a fort or whatever, you might recall these posters around the wall said, if you see one of these, and they were information posters on targets of opportunity. And several of them were, well, looked like a big two and a half with a big van box on the back end. And when you see the big boxes, that's called a van, guys. Anyway, those big two and a half and five ton and even 10 ton trucks with all that radio gear had special antennas. And even the Air Force was told, you know, boy, if you're strafing and running across the real estate, you see one of these? Oh, go for it. Get it out of the way. Prioritize target. Why? Signal electronic countermeasures or electronic monitoring technology, etc. etc. or signal communications, radio operations, you name it, car, but that name is what it is. The idea is that whatever they're throwing out there, you want to throw it down and turn it to rubble. And that way, well, there are only so many pieces of equipment like that out there, guys. So by getting rid of it, well, the other side didn't have it. Well, the same is true especially even if they bring it down to man portable, which it is, technology is man portable. It means just handheld Star Trek communicator, guys. It doesn't work that way. The technology has to be able to support a wide range of other to be able to monitor. It has to be able to face to a wide range of other technologies. Plus, it does other things too. So, the point is that The equipment you're looking for in the operator is easily identified. That means if you're looking through a sniper scope, the priority is put a bullet in the individual and put a bullet in his equipment. You can't put a bullet in the guy. Think about this. The guy's laying on the ground. You can see a special operator. He's got some piece of equipment that's backpack mounted. Guys, that could be a weapons control. That could be a signal control for air to ground and ground to air back and forth. Well, why not put a bullet in the equipment? You got a 50 caliber there and you can't see the shoot, you can't see the target, you know, the carrier, but you can see his equipment fairly, you know, at least part of it. You zero on that and you've got a hole straight through it at an angle. Oh, that's chewing everything up. You're pretty well going to mess up his day. He's become a useless tool out in the field. He'll become an 11 Bravo real quick, an infantryman real quick, because that's all he's good for now. Now again, shoot the equipment. Something's laying around, obviously they're using it to fiddle park with tracking, whatever. Shoot the equipment. You see the spare. You know, look around, you know, look at it, you're looking into the scope. Remember in Red Dawn, the first movie, you have that beep, beep, beep, the guy's operating the equipment. Guy's in the field if I had a scope rifle or a scope crew. And I really just wanted to start, you know, mucking with their heads. One of the first thing you do is remember that the signal operator's doing this, well, If you've got a good quality rifleman out there, ranges are intermediate to short. The equipment and the operator get lined up if possible. Number one, negates the value of the technology that was being used to track. Can't be easily picked up again in the field anyway. Other support technology can be brought in from other aviation assets, etc. That's something you always have to remember. But the cool thing is you just got rid of the equipment and it'd be a real good idea to maim, mutilate, or again just flat out kill the operator because wasn't he carrying a special piece of equipment? Doesn't this then identify him as a tech that has special application? Didn't he require special training? Why all of the above? So the sooner you kill him, the sooner you put a hole in the manpower table for the opposition, since they're insects on the other side that are highly specialized. The more of the specialized insects you kill, the fewer the bad guys have to apply to any problem. Progressively, the wretched machine for lack of operatives grinds to a halt. Oh, you didn't think that went through. Remember the cool thing about anal retentive control freaks? Because they're all insect minds and the socialists are insect minds. Hyper specialization because of lack of trust. uh... improper education inability to transfer data and information all the cool things we know are problem with the socialist through the public pool system mean that if you're fighting an aggressor planetary otherwise three year that particular tech lower the scale appropriate performances for the other side real quick and everybody prior to that and everybody's hunting in the same way an entire technology can be stripped from the enemy within a matter of days remember that guys look for this target see him kill him see him put leaky holes and put breaky holes in him and his equipment breaky no ticky no washy okay so again the special tech or the hyper tech that's going to be out there doing tracking or intercept is not necessarily going to be able to face with you but even if it can if it does it typically is identifiable that threat is to be neutralized there's other interesting thing though we ask you something you didn't get rid of all of your floppy disk drives did you well they're all mark we have do you have floppy disks that you get for nothing right now you go to yard sales you watch places are given away brand new disk for almost nothing or for free i don't use those you think that okay what we asked some healthier and it's not just those lobbies are sick drives there's micro zip drives and all kinds of cool stuff out there guys that's readily available. If you use that for courier work, how does your enemy in the field access that? What? Well, those disk drives have all been made obsolete, right? They've been told, they've been all told they were obsolete. A lot of your equipment doesn't even have a port for those anymore, right? So if I carry one of those or I carry an oddball drive and I have one in one of the other, Anybody in between can't really read it right away, so if the courier's intercepted and I identify that, I know that the information is compromised. But it takes time for them to ID the information, let alone break the code, dot, board. Oh, that's right. So the old tech is actually pretty handy for OpTech too, guys. Anyway, we should be hearing the music, I think. We're gonna go to break. We'll be right back. Hold on. Grab that cup of coffee, smell. See? Oh French Rose, well I'll tell you what, you be careful on Copperhead Road, we're gonna be back in a little bit but if you are heading on down the road, drive offensively to get home and safely when the time comes, we'll be back.

But that's how it's supposed to be. Because Johnny Cash is alive and well! He's in France. Right now they're enjoying some croissants and of course a little cheese and even there they decided to surrender to the easy life. Yeah, you thought he was dead. Now all the great musicians are going out to Paris on the back street. It's a champs-relizées. Bonjour madame mademoiselle. Yes, and Montjuir. It is a beautiful communications Tuesday. also very busy busy busy week uh... for everybody out there we have another weekend coming up filtering exercises to include single communications everything we're talking about today uh... we have a major field uh... f p x for signal communications coming up weekend it'll be starting at ten p m eastern time and will proceed through the evening till about five in the morning Now I'm just giving you a heads up. We'll give you the frequencies here through the week. They're still trying to decide where they want to go. We're getting different propagation right now. The test this weekend gave us a little confirmation on some solar activity that we were kind of suspecting. We had some complaints from some of our fixed locations that they were having difficulty getting through. So that means working up and down the dial. Guys, that's the important thing of being an RO fever. Then we have to work the we have to work the dial as with all bring work the rig so we'll give you some space weekend uh... don't forget we have the possible that liberty net and uh... the eagle network out there in force and they are going to be up this weekend also we're going to be doing a six meter bounce around now this is where we're doing the repeater program again we've talked about before for you around the lake and this is going to be across the whole of the upper peninsula back along the bottom of the uh... upper peninsula across the bridge actually will be crossing more towards where Traverse is. Not a big deal, water doesn't really slow us down. In fact it creates a great bounce. Then down the west side of the state, across the base of the state, and of course it will be bleeding all over the place guys, we can't be that direct. We could be, but we're not really worried about that so much as we're semi-directing the signal so that we can work across the bottom of the state, back up Lake Huron, and then come back to the heart, the core, and end up in Lansing. So it'll be a basically a repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, in the null frequencies. Now that's something where again there are frequencies, the steps for FM that are just absolutely clean. Everybody goes, why would they do this? All the junk frequencies are what they pan out. Once they have the FCC and all the bottom feeding FCC in place, the tripe, what they did is all of a sudden they were allocating frequencies. Well, all of the other good up and down the dial, up and down the radiation spectrum. There are bandwidths that are absolutely clear to the point where no matter the distance and with minimal energy, I could be talking to you on a rig and you would swear to God I was in the room with you. However, and probably the best example is with CB operations, there are no frequencies available in the CB range. sit here in Michigan, I've got a Pace 123 sitting here, upgraded and it has 300 different digital frequencies that are built using the existing, that's on board the seat, you have to add two different external, and I can go up and down the dial step by step by step, and I can talk with no linear amplifier, in other words, no, now what we're talking about here is we're not talking about any amp with how many watch pushing 150 to 300 watch no we're talking about standard tweak boxes modified and i can sit here in michigan and talk to washington state and it sounds literally like i'm in the room with you and that you know and vice versa that i'm in the room with them What fascinates me is that this has been readily known by radio geeks. Many of them try to hide this information. First of all, the comical part is, there aren't that many people out there on the CV to begin with, number one. But it's like the old paranoia thing is like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. And, you know, of course, the other thing there is, well, everybody who is really, how many people, you know, how many hours are there in the day, number one? uh... how many frequencies available or you can subdivide however you want to if you might receive a purpose and subdivide three hundred individual uh... nodes you know on the dial and i have another unit just like it at the other end three hundred different points up and down the spectrum i can run within that mission of and with and you're not going to get me and i'm not going to you if i you know by accident far as all we be stepping on each other will be so many people there and blah blah blah blah People are lazy. You know how many times we've actually, this is a fact, we've actually even given classes on this, shown people what it is we need to do, told them what radio they need to pick up. 100 people in a class, this is years ago with the Patriot effort, guys, I know the numbers. And of the 100 people or so that were old, they were all excited, and yep, everybody took, you know, we spent three, four hours on the class explaining how things work, the whole nine yards. We have a technician at the other end of the country out of the hundred people there, I think maybe what, 21, 22 followed through. So about 20%. And that was something that by the time they're done, I always hear about this, how will we talk when the time comes? Well, you have to get up off your dead ass and you have to actually do something. In other words, did you go out and get your CV? Did you put a CV in the vehicle? Did you take one of the CVs and make it a base station? I mean, it's not a big deal. You all want to give you 12 volts of power. If you do a little research, it's the most Simple, insanely simple radio system. It was all me, user friendly and user stupid. In other words, you know, short of being, you know, well, again, a fed agent, you have more than enough wherewithal, even if you were at that lower level of IQ, that you could typically plug it in. And I know all of you are much higher, at a much higher level than the average knuckle-dragging black uniform goon that's out there. You've got more brains, okay? So the thing is, depending on, again, it's the old story. It's a, if there's a fire under everybody's arse. Now the moment that things get serious, example is when we did these classes. I mean, we had like, I would say we probably did a dozen of them in the Midwest. And all of it was to explain having examples there, pointing the stuff in at night so that everybody, and we have this evening session, plugging it in and talking and showing everybody here's how easy this is done, how it works. Everybody's like, ooh, ah. But then when the time came, by the time everything's done, talking back and forth and doing follow-up, about 20% on an average, plus or minus, had some cases up to 32%, but then we had other sites where, well, maybe 20, 18 people, 16 people decided they would follow through. Now the cost of the CB and the cost of the conversion was nothing by comparison to other pieces of equipment where somebody would come and go, you need this $3,000 rig that does everything. It's the size of a briefcase. And it is a beautiful radio. Fantastic radios. But because it wasn't a big deal, it doesn't cost you that much. It's going to be about maybe $89 to $100 piece of equipment we'll talk across the country. i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could talk to a state i could start looking at the stuff you got, and what's all this writing on the back of my radio, or what's all this writing on the back of my receiver or transceiver? What's all this, oh wait a minute, it says this equipment is designed to accept and accept a certain amount of interference. You have a number of different explanations to include even the United States code, or the regulatory guideline through the FCC, you know, the bottom-feeding peckerwoods from that operation. whose mission is not to provide a service but to pee on you they are not there to help they are there to hinder are not there to help the fcc job is designed to hinder and restrict set information in fact they were the door words to make sure information real information didn't get out the idea behind is to create a little click of you know yahooty that would be the ones who would have all of the the manipulative power of information Well, that kind of got out of hand with the internet, but don't worry, they're trying other ways if they can. So integrating all the different technologies that are out there, using a combination now, we actually have a wide variety of options and a wide range of technologies new and old. Now, notice I've been saying commit to technology. Remember, guys, there's a lot of older stuff out there, like the six meter equipment we've been telling you about. Clean, clear, signal, beautiful pieces of equipment. $30 a piece. $6 for handhelds. $15 for handhelds. Base stations, you know, little base units for 20, 30, 40, $50, depending on what it is and what somebody decides to try and get in the way of a price. When you go to a ham fest, dick her. They're Americans, real Americans, the way Americans used to be. They dick her. They barter, they trade, they exchange, but they do it in a way that it becomes dynamic. It's fun. That's why you go to gun shows even, because hey, maybe you can ticker the guy down. I got a deal. I got him down by five, six dollars, ten dollars, a hundred dollars, whatever. Same is true with Amfest. People are fun. It's part of the fun. It's like everybody gets, you know, everybody is happy. You know, the time you're done is a good trade. You trade FRMs or some, in many cases, guys go to Amfest, trade material. One guy's got something and he goes, well, what about this? What do you give me for this? I'll trade this. I want that. I want that. What about this? I see you've got these. I have a lot of these which are similar to what you have. You like them. How about if we trade this for that? You get what you want. I get what I want. Everybody's happy. We walk away. Trade. Remember Dances with Wolves? The lieutenants hat. Remember the lieutenants hat? The guy gets the guy. He goes, well, you have the lieutenants hat. He obviously wants it back. what are you going to give him for it so the guy gives him a you know one of his fighting knives they know is getting him slash utility knife and he goes good you know the member of the one for you know the one warrior says and gun shows think about it good but he's happy well the thing here is again with equipment when you're looking at committing to systems you know for instance Motorola rate Motorola mine radios I've talked about this they come in six meters they come in any number of different configuration depending on they were built Most of them, even when they were built, at the same time a number of different options were available with regard to that chassis. Well, they're good radios, guys. Let's look at the names. They're called mine radios. These were carried in quarries, pits, or even in mines. What's the thing about mines? Well the thing has to be ruggedized because you're gonna grab this thing like a lunch pail put it in the truck seat or Carry it around in the mine and had to have enough output that it could get down or you know through objects through the whatever and You know carry a signal number one It had to be robust it had to be beatable It had to be you know able to take a pounding because things fall in places like that stuff gets dropped, etc So these little handheld units, but actually again the size of a little lunch pail, like your lunch pail you used to take to school if you had one of the metal ones. That's basically about the size of these things. But the handle actually serves more than one purpose and typically had a concealed extendable antenna array. All kinds of cool stuff, depending on what it was. They come in tan, you'll find them in the Motorola Gray Green. you'll find them in different colors depending upon the era and what was requested in the industry or what they felt they would promote into the industry and they make the standard this moral of did work at the standard in the radio industry for a long time they never a whole lot of vision and as an american company they actually did a pretty good job of staying ahead of things provided again that the american companies state focused on being american Anyway, there's a lot of rigs out there. You commit to a certain design. See, I want to, I'm just going to use this knob number. Don't look for it. Okay, so let's say ABC 512. Okay, well the ABC 512 is, you know, supplemented by the ABC 512A, ABC 512B, ABC 512C, etc., etc. Well, if you look around, you'll find when you do a little information and searching and you wander through the, the, uh, hamfest that Well, it seems like there's a lot of ABC 512Bs out there, and nobody's too excited about them, and maybe I should, I could commit to that. Now, here's the interesting thing a lot of people like. Well, because of this and that and the other, the sound wasn't as pretty. There's certain issues that may have arisen. We'll do research and find out what the complaint issue was. Or, again, remember, a lot of times people just are foolish because they're not falsely foolish, but, you know, the industry tells them you need the latest widget. And the latest widget is supposed to be better. Well, in some cases it's not. So everybody gets rid of the B model, which was the better unit, and buys the C, and then they're not satisfied with that. Well, if they want, they've got to watch it here. Because if you don't satisfy the customer, they may not want to go to the B model. But in many cases it's like after a little bit of use it's like well, yeah we had some problems with the C model so if you buy the new D model we'll trade in the old radios and we'll give you the new ones and we'll make some deals and everybody will be happy and the salesman gets his Cancun vacation etc. Okay? The big thing here is that you'll find piles of this stuff at the Hamfest for that reason because trade-ins have taken place or In many cases they'll say, no we don't want them, and so the guy works, you know, maintaining the radios at a company, or he maybe just works for a company, and this stuff is routed towards industrial surplus, or to be thrown out. Well instead the stuff is carried away by the geeks, or eventually finds its way into the hands of the radio geeks, which is a good thing, and they look at it and evaluate its value accordingly. Now everybody typically will take even heavy junk to Hamfest. cool thing is that they are hoping they get something for it since it might have been free or might have been something on the shelf and they decided not play with that anymore all gee radios old motorola radios is a lot of stuff out there like this guys they're good units uh... i fact just picked up all i think i've got a box i think i've got through it all yet i know i've got parts and pieces and chassis probably about twelve gee handheld radios from about nineteen seventy eight 3 frequency with battery chargers, a couple rack chargers if I forgot. One gang charger for $2 with videos in it. All the same unit so I got an additional 6. I haven't gone through those yet. They're not pretty but they're functional. They probably need to have little rubber antennas replaced. I guarantee that because I got one or two that are damaged already from use. Not mine, my use but whoever had these before this guy got them at the yard sale. but the thing is uh... about two dollars for the whole game charger with six radios in a spare and that you know six reels for six recharging stations and another twelve radios plus your carriers and pouches and all kinds of stuff grand total tied up in a right now i think uh... seven dollars how many radios well do the math i've got a least eighteen of them that are ready to roll Of that, I would say 14 have reliable battery packs. The rest have tired battery packs. So here's what you do. You test the rigs out, little handhelds, find out which are your stronger radios, tag the others as weaker or and put a two on them, a second, the other one's your second line, and retire those into reserve for the moment until you get more battery packs. You take the tire batteries and the radio that might have a volume control, I'd be acting up for something. Put that into second line for the moment until you have time to go through it. Now once you've tested and you find your best radios, you put your best battery packs on your best radios, those go in the front line chargers, and if you have to go out, that's the radio you're going to grab while the other person is monitoring the base or using one of the other hand-hills for a base radio monitor operations. See how that works? Now you didn't get rid of anything. Also, if those other radios don't pan out, maybe you can't get the part. Maybe you can't get a replacement volume control for it. Although that's pretty unlikely because they're factory standard, industry standard parts for the most part. Not everywhere and not every time, but for the most part. And if not, something else can be adapted. So, since I can't rebuild it right away, maybe down the road I decide I'm not going to, well I still have spare parts for all the other radios. In fact, if I go to another ham fest and I've got an eyeball that's, you know, keen to my goodies, I'm looking for more of the same GE radios for the same era, because right now they're cheap, because nobody's excited about them. They're heavier, they're bigger, they're bulkier, but they're so cheap, affordable to run them. Oh, see how that works? Yeah, yeah, I actually can get a pile of them for little or nothing. They're all functional pieces of equipment. They all work just fine. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I guess you're right. Yeah, that doesn't make sense. I guess we have to fire us for that one. It's hard to make sense again. Heaven forbid we should do that. We'll have to get that out of the way. Anyway, the point is that, again, with a little bit of simple math and some sensible operations, the base radios for a lot of these handhelds are typically out there to enforce. And you'll find that if you even do a little research, you'll see little picture portfolios that show you what you're looking for. So you know what the eyeball in the junk boxes? because the bases, typically little hand bases, which are very uncomplicated radios, typically go for $12, $15, $20. The advantage of this is you can put an entire grid up separate from everything else that's operating, not interfering with anybody else, nobody having a clue that you've got this entire system on standby. When the time comes, you have emergency services communication. Now, the other thing is this, because immediately I know you got people go, wow, they got an EMPS! Well, I'm out a total of a little bit of time, and let's see, I got maybe 20, 30 dollars tied up into the radios. So if they EMPS, I'm out 20, 30 dollars. Oh, wow, oh, wow, that's worse than, well, wait a minute, that's not bad. Oh, somebody else talking and buying that 3000 dollar, does everything rig, that's the size of a briefcase. well p m p here it's not really uh... hard that he had and well your four thousand three thousand six thousand dollar rig is gone my radio on the other hand women you want to be crying we don't want to know all we got about a hundred dollars that up to my whole radio radio uh... system And if we get EMP'd and that's your argument, well, I'm not out thousands of dollars and I'm not even going to cry about it. Because I have all the other alternative ideas already in my head or on standby. So I'm already prepped to go in the other direction, leave all the radio rigs behind as needed, or at least go to my backups that were shielded. I can even afford, if I buy these cheap radios, to have a whole bunch of them shielded and EMP hardened. so that when everybody else's stuff is offline, for about $2 or less a radio, or like six of those radios for $2, I can talk when you can't. If they EMP us, the cop shops are dead. Does everybody understand that? Their rigs aren't protected. Not sufficiently. In fact, they've got collection arrays. The bigger the antenna, the more energy you're pulling in. The bigger the power grid, cabling and wiring and harness, the more energy that EMP pulse is gonna feed. And it cascades, now you got more going down range. So my little handhelds, you properly shield in a Faraday cage inside a Faraday cage inside a Faraday cage, which isn't that hard to build by the way, in fact they're so simple it's ridiculous. All of my $2 radios, or you know, 50 cent radios, which are actually really well built and work in any number of different frequencies to include 6 meter, I can then all of a sudden pull my equipment out and my rigs are working while everybody else in the area is not. Well that gives me a leg up, doesn't it? And by the way, I can afford to have them stuck all over the place, can't I? Yeah, for a few dollars as opposed to thousands of dollars of radio, I can afford to have a lot of that junk, quote unquote, laying around, but it's not junk when it's the only one that works. That becomes priceless, doesn't it? Oh, prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance. The P principle. God bless the Republic. Death of the new old order we shall prevail ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We're on a march. Grab that cup of coffee. Smell? Okay. Now you get off to work and remember that's French Rose. So don't surrender and avoid everybody else on the road. Drive off instantly. Get there and back basically.
