Summary
Mark Koernke discussed preparedness, firearms, and communications equipment on December 17, 2013. He reviewed firearms inventory and pricing at JG Sales, including M14 magazines, AK-style rifles, and handguns, noting inflated prices due to market conditions. The bulk of the episode focused on improvised radio antenna construction using dollar-store materials like tape measures, insulators, and zip ties, and detailed field telephone systems using salvaged rotary phones powered by solar cells. Koernke also highlighted military surplus equipment available through Fair Radio and other vendors, including weather balloons, switchboards, and specialized communications gear, while encouraging listeners to send postcards to the station's PO Box.

Why do music lovers choose Live 365 over other music sites? More stations, more variety, and more choices! How can you make a great thing even better? Find out more at Live365.com slash VIP. Live 365. Find a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame You've taken Satan's number You've traded in your name You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each god given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Still the land of the free afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the afternoon intelligence report timer. Krenky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east, and northeast. Well, ladies and gentlemen, you were listening to us on LibertyTreeRadio.4mg.com. We're on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and UltraNet Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the Hallmark Network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico headed to Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, Big Chum, Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both third to fifth and our friends in Colorado, the recall state. We're also on the Eastern Seaboard, of course, where the shining star of the state of Jefferson is located. Then there's the rest of the occupied stretch of sputum, detritus, debris, phlegm, a fine-stynism spread across the civil state out there. That's right, doing its part to do damage to everybody else and to create a beachhead for Chinese boots and American soil. That's right here. On the left coast, turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, leap over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi, and land in the Smokies slash the Blue Ridge, where the restaurant crews, grandma teams, okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grandma Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Many hands make for light work. A million pedico junctions, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. Well, I'll tell you what we might have Donald this year. Let's see if we've got him in the background. I heard several different things. Could be just listeners. That's possible too. That's not a problem. And today's date is the 17th of December. It is the fifth year of open Fabian socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K 2013 Old Earth Calendar or Mayan Crazy Town Crazy Town And as we know we're ticking down the clock to the end of the year for everybody out there It's just, well hey guys, the clock, she's a winding down 2013 won't be with us anymore. He won't have a 2013 to kick around. But in the meantime, well, way before that happens, we've got Christmas coming up. Merry Christmas! ...to the enemy guys. It's like, WOW! BOW! It burns! It burns! And of course we immediately respond by, why of course it does. Yes, yes it does. Well, take the time and again pay attention to the environment, plug in where you can, what you need and get the job done out there because, well, what should be under the Christmas tree? AK-47s, AR-15s, parts, pieces, assemblies, magazines, ammunition, how about tools? That would be a good idea. There's a whole bunch of solutions out there. Gun cases, transporters, let's see, How about reloading technology? Everything you need to put enough ammunition and arms together to get the job done and make it look right. How's that sound? Well, there are ways to do it. There are a number of different sources out there. It is, of course, Communications Tuesday, by the way. We are going to talk about a few other things there, too, in the process. All of our friends out there listening, if you could, take the time, plug in. This Wednesday of course and into the weekend we've got the independent ham radio operator nets that are out there www.3950.net is where you can go to find out more about what's going on. Again listening in via the internet to what's going on ham radio. Hey how do you like that? There's a combination. So if you don't have a ham radio but you still want to find out how things work and how things get plugged in and what does what. There is a solution. Don't say we didn't come up with one for you. Okay, so again that is www.3950.net. I mentioned M14 mags last night and yes, they still have them in stock. At least when I called today, I don't know, I don't think they've changed on this yet. www.jgsales.com, www.jgsales.com. If you've got an M1A, slash an M14 pattern rifle, the M14, M1A8, KCI, 20-round magazines, 308, 762x51NATO. Well, of course, that's pretty much all they're in. There are a few other rebarrel versions of the M14, but the basic you're going to run to is in 308, 762NATO. $14.95 a mag, they're marked down from $20 apiece to $15 apiece, so it's a $5 savings. These are, I believe, Korean made. They are brand new magazines. Of course, some places you can't have them where the communists have control. Let's see, the California Soviet Socialist Democracy, the Hawaiian Soviet Socialist Democracy, the Massachusetts SSD, the Maryland SSD, the New Jersey SSD, the New York SSD, the Chicago City State SSD. Then Connecticut SSD, Washington, the District of Criminals, and Colorado, the challenge state where of course no rifle or handgun mags over 15 rounds or shotgun mags over 8 rounds. Everything has to be in that obscure count for just the sake of arbitrary. That's designed to make it difficult for you to own whatever and to of course arbitrarily attack you for having whatever you have. That's why I'm going into a war, someone's going to do stupid in a black uniform, a knuckle dragon, short necked, pointed up idiot, going to do something and it's going to kick stuff off and it'll cascade. A little pebble and been to big avalanche. Be ready for it. You'll need more mags. the M1AMAGS at JGSales.com, JGSales.com. By the way, they're behind us by three hours, so you could call them 928-445-9650 right now and actually place an order and get them in motion to get them onto the Christmas tree. What do you think about that one? Okay, there's an idea. Also, I will point out, now it appears it's supposed to be digital woodland, but I'm thinking by the color range and looking at the straps that it's a Marpat. But either way, Mark Patton did Woodland Digital, we're so close that you know who really cares. You can mix and match this stuff and by the time you're done nobody will be able to figure out what's going on with it anyway. Military radio pouch, digital woodland camo. It was $5, now $3. $2.95 a piece. Oh, that nickel. We'll throw it in so it's $3. But that's still a pretty good price for that pouch. It is on the main page or it pops up on the main page depending on how many times you reconnect. Not a whole lot in the way of any reasonable handguns anywhere. The cheapest thing that I think they have right now in stock, they've got the Zastava Yugo Mini Tokarevs. All these are short and slide. And that's the M88A. But they're running $240 a piece. And that weapon should be under $200. So that's the problem across the board with everything. The prices are where they are. And there's not a whole lot of give on those simply because They are not going to be trying to sell them at a loss, they are not trying to give them away. But you will find a number of other different pistols that are out there and available that are trade-ins right now. But man, the prices, they are charging for trade-ins. We were charging only a short time ago for brand new pistols out of the box. And brand new pistols out of the box are going for a lot more than they should be because unless all of a sudden there has been a radical devaluation of the currency, we know that. But there are some weapons out there that definitely be worth looking at that are used and probably your better choice because they really haven't been used. They might have been carried a lot by the cop shops but they don't shoot them that much and come on. They were only committing them last year, they've been short ammunition, so they didn't shoot them much in the last year, right? Hey, that's right! So you see in reality what you're getting is holster wear or these are hanger queens that were in the arsenals for the cop shops and they've traded them in. In most cases they're in excellent condition so you're getting pretty much almost a new gun for now the old new gun prices but now the used gun prices. There's even like at JG sales they got Breda FS's semi-auto pistols used good to very good condition for $400 apiece. Am I super excited about that? No, not really. It's like $400. We're buying two to three handguns for the price of that only a short time ago. So look around, see what you can find. Personally, if you can see wheel guns for under a couple hundred dollars, and if they're out there, I'd grab them. That's a good choice, .38357. Just buy the snot out of every round of ammo you can get and keep stacking it up in the cans. The other thing that they do have here on site, something else that has popped up on the screen, Now, of course, the model 77-308 UGOS are on this page. They're showing them on the front page right now. But something else that's popped up for $550. It's a Sega AK-style rifle in .223, 20.5 inch barrel. Again, instead of the C-type stock, it has actually an AK pistol grip. Again, I'm not super excited about that. But for 550 it's a 223AK and there are solutions there to include going to aksesakdesigns.com. When you go there they have adapters for the 223AKs and for the Galil that allow you to use AR15MAGs. And that would be a solution and actually the best of two worlds. The magazine well of the AR-15 and the AK-47 design put together would give you the best of everything in durability, reliability. Again, failure to function is typically not in an AK's vocabulary. So, just something to think about there. If you're going to be looking at light rifles, because that's what they are, those aren't main battle rifles, those are light rifles. And in the light rifle category, if you're looking for a commonality of ammunition, hey, and being able to use two different magazines, TexasAKDesigns.com has the adapters. And if you have the Galil, while they do have Galil bags at JG sales for under $20 on sale right now, and I highly recommend if you've got a Galil, you buy them. Those are 35 round actual Galil mags. Who knows if the Israelis actually made them or somebody else. Probably the Germans and Italians were forced or blackmailed to make them for cheap price, just the way the operation works. So probably not Israeli made, but even if they are, they seem to work. You need mags for the Galil. Hey, you got it? Buy more mags for it. That's something that matters. What the hell it is. at least the goleel doesn't have a name like masada where you know the first uh... you know in this case it was a thirty five round mag the first thirty four rounds go down range miss and then the last round the chamber reverse itself presses itself your forehead and blows your brains out for you that's what the masada rifle is all about you know shoot at your enemy don't do a real good job of fighting and then uh... commit suicide oops yeah yeah that's my dear real name i want to pick for a weapon back anyway uh... Enough on the arms for the moment. I would remind everybody guys Something that we were talking about a couple days ago, but also every day we've talked about radios or has been antennas Okay, if I'm improvising them in the field I can make antennas from a whole hell of a lot of stuff Does everybody understand tape measures work really good? In fact a tape measure is a phenomenal adjustable length antenna array Well, it's metal and you can keep it from crowded out and you can adjust the length to adapt for the need of the particular frequency you're broadcasting at. Hey, that makes that a really neat little idea there. There's all kinds of solutions. If you were to use, for instance I grab off construction sites, all the tape measures that are blown out where they don't go back into the container and they're all out of the roll and they're just flopped around. Guys, I grab all those because, like I've been doing the other day here, we started riveting them and making flexible combat antennas. That's where the original flexible antenna came from years ago. Some ingenious RO looked at the problem of going through brush and being able to keep the antenna from being snapped, popped, or just catching on stuff being a long mast. And the flexible multi-band, if you take a look at what a flexor combat antenna is on a PRC 25 or 77, and even on the AMP PRC 8s, 9s, and 10s. That's right. If you look at those flexibles, what are they? It's tape measure stock. No way! Yes way! And as a matter of fact you can build your own and you can make it so it's part of a kit. The cool thing about tape measures is you can also leave it as is so you can retract it and disassemble it whenever you want to and move it to another location. Now as far as insulators go, if I went into a dollar store and I looked around for junk, I'd be proud. What can I use for insulators? Well, anything that's plastic, it's got the ability for you to put two holes neither end. One to stabilize or to control the tape measure by being able to string it up. The other, designed so that it can hold the weight of whatever it is you're trying to suspend to stabilize your antenna. Now the cool thing about most all of your tape measures, don't they have an onboard tape lock? Oh they do! So it doesn't roll back into the... Oh man, that makes that thing a really nice throw away or quick improvised field antenna. Now you can make insulators for many different things, but go into a dollar store and look around. What can you get multiples of that would work for something like that? Even go over to the toy section. There's little molded toys. that are oval or you know, they're circular or they're rings and it could work quite well. In other words, what could I do if I walked in with $5 to make what I needed in the way of an improvised radio antenna? First dollar or two dollars I would spend would be on one or two tape measures. And then insulators, a dollar for something that there's a pouch of, say five, six, seven, ten, more for less is what you're looking for. That way you got more insulators to work with. And then, if you really want to get fancy, you could even go with cheap, cheap, cheap, no-name brand zip ties right there in a pouch. So let's see, $2 for the tape measures, because I'm going to buy two of them at a dollar apiece. One bag of insulators, one pouch bag of the biggest for the most zip ties. Cheapy, tiny, light zip ties. We don't need very much strength. Don't need it very big. Okay, and then I'm gonna need a little bit of cord so I might even use the existing clothesline Available in the dollar store in rolls. So I got everything I need her off the shelf for five dollars plus the tax No, wait now if I do need a few tools then I could also spend another what? Oh a whole whopping $1 on a straight edge or cutting blades or the cheapy version where you get 2, 3, 4, or 5 and a bundle for $1. Now I've got a handful of tools there so I can disassemble and assemble as needed, cut and or change the dimensions of something. And now I've got a complete kit to make a variable length adaptable antenna. Now let's say that I got one more issue. I don't want it to stand out. So if there's pinks and oranges or if reared colors involved, hey, a lot of these tape measures come in psychedelic colors only. Now that's what you may find at that dollar store. Well, if it also offers paint, spray paint, any tactical color will do to break up the base color if it's bright. Hey, that's cheating. No, that's common sense and smart. And even the tape measure itself could be lightly dusted. so that I can cover up the numbers to a degree to dampen the color so it's not that bright yellow in a line moving across an area. Yeah, yeah. See, now the other thing I can do is use that tape measure as a single dipole with a number of other different transmitters. So it's not just with my FM's, it's not just with any of my AM long waves. There's all kinds of stuff I can do with that tape measure to implement intelligent antenna deployment when the time comes. Now, the other interesting thing is, obviously if I go over into the tool section, there's a bunch of other stuff that might be kind of useful in terms of hand tools so that I can actually deploy my array of parts that I've put together. Most important is, you guys have a nice set of snippers, a screwdriver set, in fact you can get cheapy cheapy cheapy screwdriver sets, and I mean they are cheap, don't expect them to do much, that are multi head hex types, so they've got a Phillips hex, a screw, you know, a flat blade screwdriver, big and small and usually Phillips big and small, usually in flat blade, couple of different sizes of the hex type and maybe even a couple of sockets if you're lucky and it varies depending upon what they are but they're sitting there for a dollar and don't worry about getting the fancier ones you just need something to give you some basic potential the other option is dollar store Swiss Army Knife slash screwdriver set whatever not real fancy but for what we're doing we're not building really big here we're not disassembling a battleship okay This is just when you need a little bit of an extra oomph to get something snug. You don't want it so tight you can't disassemble it. You want to snug it tight enough that it doesn't come apart. and then be able to disassemble quickly when the time comes. Now the advantage using clothesline, if you have to go quick with disassembly, well that's what that blade is for. Then you can always re-knot or you can reapply more rope later when you want to stress your your combo line. When you've got your antenna to the proper length you know what spec you need etc etc. going from the back of the radio to or from the top of your radio depending on what you're using. Your connect line goes from the control port where you actually have a little keeper there that's spring-loaded and allows you to barrel wire plug it into the transmitter run your other line over and the only other thing you might watch for is if you're lucky alligator clips that makes it really quick to connect and it's on to whatever you string if it's cable if it's your If it's a piece of wire of any kind, if it's your tape measure, or if it's a shopping cart. None of the years what it is, you've got to be able to get the signal over to the tool that you're using, and you've got to make sure it's not going to be grounded to something where the signal is dropped into the earth where it leaves all of its energy behind. Instead, we want to get a little bit of height if we can, and we want to get it up off the ground, obviously, without other issues, to include pulling that signal into the basement. through the process of not really paying attention to how you're putting something together. That's a big no-no. So again, I gave you a short list. In fact, it's one of those things where you might want to walk in the dollar store and just experiment. You know, go on and go, what can I get five or six dollars? Where would I go right off the bat to make up an antenna kit? to do a MacGyver kind of thing. Then you see the hand reach over and grab two tape measures. Then you see the other hand over another, I'll grab another and there's a bag full of squeezy toys, little Kewpie doll toys. and you know there's eight or ten or nine of them however many of the pouch and then yet you're going to close by ten but there's the image of the everything being paid for the gash at the uh... cash registers desk you know that's being hit by the by the by and the next step is don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't don't Radio Antenna Theory 101. Notice I didn't say Radio Antenna Law. I said Radio Antenna Theory. Purely a matter of arbitrary creativity on your part. The more creative you are, the better off you'll be. So we'll do our part. You keep doing yours. Anyway, what else do we got exciting out there? Well, there's a whole bunch of other cool stuff. I haven't seen any great, a bunch of other cool stuff out there, but I haven't seen any great Christmas specials so far guys, have you? I'm serious about that. There were a few little sales here last week and then everything kind of went right off the chart and disappeared. Everything has just been regular blend. Now maybe they're just going to wait until the last minute which is not necessarily a good thing because well as I pointed out we're getting close to Christmas here guys. It's going to take time for whatever order to get to where it needs to go. So, if you are serious about trying to get the job done, they better get serious about what they are going to actually do. So, we will see if anything transpires. So far I haven't seen anything jumping out at me going, ooh, that's really great. But, if it does happen, it will be cool. We will find out soon enough. interesting. I was hoping you guys posted Airsoft station. I was looking over the Boneyard to see if there's anything good that they had in the Boneyard. They do have some items for sale. They're in a markdown that are pretty decent. But no significant change in the Boneyard except for all of our friends out there if you go to Airsoft station. They have a WGUS combat 1911 pistol in the Boneyard for $12. If you are looking for a trainer, kind of like the discussion we had the other day, these airsoft guns that are in the boneyard will work just fine for your girlfriend, your wife, your children. Anybody you need to train to get them into the basic field with muscle memory, guys, this is a great way to know you got something that is going to be about the right size, gives them a chance to orient themselves to what it is you are doing. and you can plug in real quick and congratulations you got yourself a marksman by the time you're done. At least you got some range time so to speak. Oh really? I don't know. Well this is kind of strange. Okay. Holiday Special 6 Bright Steel Ornament Bottles. Special, let's see, Holiday Special set of 6 Bright Steel Ornament Bottles. communist era, $5.95. These are oilers, guys, for the... Yeah, those are AK and... Boysen-Neigat oilers. Yeah, SKS2. Those are cool. And again, if you're looking for something for under the Christmas tree, I guess that is a Christmas tree holiday thing there, but I was hoping for maybe something more in the way of Christmas, you know, exotic on the shelf there, especially with apex scumbarts. I haven't seen that much. However, they do have right now, holiday sale, Polish flare guns, steel, 26.5 millimeter for $43.89. If you're looking for a flare launcher slash a boarding pistol, oh, did I say that? I mean, that'd be a flare launcher. But just taking into consideration, don't throw out any of the empty cases. They would be handy for something else. Again, that's the holiday sale for the Polish flare guns. They are $46.00 and they are $43.89 a piece. We are at the bottom of the hour. I don't know if we have Ed right there handy. Going to the bottom of the hour break. For all of our friends out there listening, it is the, oh well, it's heading towards Christmas. It's the communications Tuesday. Counting down now to the point where you would think they have the 10 days of Christmas or 12 days of Christmas or at least so many days of Christmas because we're looking at three, eight, eight days. And guys, it's got to get in the mail. So where are the Christmas sales and firearms? Not a whole lot so far. I'm hoping the center fire kind of catches up tomorrow because normally We don't at least see something with center fire for 10 days of Christmas 12 days of Christmas 8 days of Christmas or something. Bye your music. We'll be back We'll grab back some coffee. It's the Intel report and it's Tuesday Man this is the stuff I got for Christmas Four big mud tires, three shotgun shells, two hunting dogs, and some parts to a Mustang GT. Eepo, you got Jeff, ours twelve days to grass us. I know that, I got it covered. Look over in the corner. That's yours too? Yeah, twelve pack of Bud, eleven wrestling tickets, ten of Copenhagen, nine years probation, eight table dancers, seven packs of red men, six Kansas Spam, one of my travel shots. Big my tires, three shotgun shells, two huntin' dogs, and some parts to a Mustang GT. Man, these ain't normal Christmas presents. Nah, they're redneck gifts. Redneck gifts? Yeah, you know, like if you buy your wife earrings that double as fishy lures, or if you convert the entire forest of jingle bells. Perhaps if you think the Nutcracker is something you did off the high dive. Or if you've ever misspelled anything in Christmas life. Or if you leave cold beer and pickled eggs for Santa Claus. What's wrong with that? I didn't say anything wrong with it. It's hard to beat. Well, pack a bud, let them raslin' tickets, Kennicoke and Hagen, nine years probation, eight table dance, or seven packs of red men, six tans of bat. Biff my tires, three shotgun shells, two hunting dogs, and some parts to a Mustang GT. Well, you know, you can't really consider it a Christmas unless you go down to the Penitentiary and visit your mama. You're not listening to me. Get the car key out of your ear. That's where the nine-year probation comes in. I'm gonna do it for you again. Now listen. Seven wrestling tickets, ten a Copenhagen, nine years probation, eight table dancers, seven packs of red men, six cans of spam. Four big matars, three shotgun shells, two mugs, and some parts to a stangy. dump another couple around until she don't take no more so yeah the three might be okay that's acceptable table dancers yeah not necessary but I wouldn't be surprised otherwise hey when he spent another year is make more sense magazines ammunition and let's not forget more arms whenever possible for everybody out there a real quick one of the guys mentioned the chat room another company here that does 80% Billet rifle systems LLC they do 80% products and they have uppers and they have lowers the uppers are flat tops and in more of the boxed mechanical design a little shall we say more art deco than the others that you're pretty much familiar with are used to which is not a problem but you might want to check that out again go to www.bilet80.com. I would also point out to companies, again, it's Communications Tuesday, www.ramsey.com. Hopefully I got that right for your friends there and they'll put it in the chat room there. Yeah, go so we got it right where it needs to be and again, that's Well, I'm gonna check it out real quick. Thank you Lori WB here EWB But anyway Ramsey electronics couple things that they have there is a they do have a clear section You know, I love that pay attention because there are some nice older kits and that they are apparently discontinuing that are definitely useful in the micro FM, micro AM and also exciters or synthesizers for cleaning up the signal and for cleaning up the sound. So you might want to check that out, see what they have available, decide what it is that will fit your needs and then run with that puppy. Because that's what you're going to have to do in order to be able to get up and online and get run with that puppy at some point and make it work for you. So, RamseyElectronics.com, RamseyElectronics.com. Also, Fair Radio. And Fair Radio got a bunch of other odds and ends and stuff in there. Always getting stuff in because they're buying out other places that are going out of business. They're buying up their inventory. Or they go to auctions and there's an estate or somebody selling stuff out. So you might want to check them out just to see what they have that might be useful. and decide whether or not that's the direction you want to go in. FairRadio.com. They're located in Lima, Ohio. They're in Ohio and they're in L-I-M-A. That's Lima! No, that's Lima! Anyway, wherever it is, it's in Ohio, very centrally located, easy to get to, they've got great selection of stuff. If you're looking for goodies, definitely that are military surplus and or American industrial surplus, they have a lot of stuff to choose from. And again, that is www.faradio.com. Again, if you go there, go to the main page, click on to fairradio.com. I just posted in the chat room for you. Phone number is 419-223-2196, 419-223-2196. If you go to their product search, you can go to their email slash catalog inquiry. You can send them a request. If there is something that you are looking for, you can send them an email and they will go through their vast inventory and see what they have available because you never know what they are going to run into there. It is true. It can be any number of items too numerous to mention and especially in many cases something that, oh man, I was just looking for one of these. Now this is an oldie but a goodie and this is something you've got for $100 but if you have a rat rig you might even have one of these units already sitting in the middle of the rack towards the back, you know, slash in the center. You get a teletype printer there, one of the original ones, you know, makes a lot of noise. They made the silenced version for the rat rigs. Most people don't know that. There's three versions that were made for the rat rigs. The original one to get it into the field which you can sounds like you are again running a light machine gun. And then there were the silenced models. Of course that took a lot more maintenance if you have the silenced version. And what they did is they quieted the chatter ring. Again, a number of different plastic and rubberized silencers, all kinds of fun stuff. Well, this unit, the RT1183 GRA 114, transmitter, receiver, radio, data link, sound ranging, digitalized, special purpose communication system capable of transmitting voice when desired and analog representations of signals derived from weapons firing for the purpose of locating these weapons. Use the plus 15 volt tap on a BA 4386 or a BA 5598 to power the unit, 133 to 150 megahertz. TX crystal units probably look like small metal boxes of 0.9 inch by 0.6 inches by 0.4 inches high. Two pins on the bottom and about 0.16 inches apart. These are just over toned crystals, the actual TX frequency times 2 plus 19.25 megahertz. is the marked frequency, RX crystal units. There are three SMB connectors. The input connector takes in the marked frequency, and an LO and RF signal are output such that the difference is 18.1 megahertz. Now, some of your rat rigs, this would actually be in there, especially if it's artillery support or artillery countermeasures, mortar and artillery countermeasures. Mine is a little research. Everybody has always wondered about how could we have a technology. Well, here is an example. With everybody out there trying to figure out how we can upgrade, this is crude upgrading, but this works for 99.9% of the work that is going to be done. It is just bulkier than a lot of the other stuff that you are going to run into. The sizing itself is not that extreme. It is not that large. This is the core of the system. Just something to think about there. There's a lot of people that have modified these for other missions. So just take a look at their little bit of history for those of you who were in their counter-batter artillery. You will recognize the piece of equipment. You used it. I guarantee it at one point or another. Also an EE89 telephone repeater originally used to increase telephone signal over a longer distance. What do you think that's good for? Well, that was used for, oh, that's right. It says telephone as in RTO, radio telephone, no, as in ground wire, as in field phone use, guys. And these are $45 each and definitely useful. Something you might want to think about, especially if you're setting up a long range ranch to ranch system or from your primary house to major outbuildings. You need to boost it. You've got a watering station or you've got something in between point A and point B. This will keep the signal up where it needs to be. And why reinvent the wheel when somebody already built it like a brick doghouse and they run $45 a piece used? You can't beat them. Take a look at it, see if it's going to suit your purpose. It might be something you have an interest in. So it's a purely matter, again, of what are you looking at, how are you planning on trying to employ this system? What do you need to do? Now, phones, obviously. Here's a little thing. I'm going to talk about this in a minute here, but I'll touch on it. You know, somebody asked me, why do you pick up all of the phones, the regular phones, that are available through the recycling bins? Well, there's a reason for that. With a couple of D-cell batteries, if I want to be crude, or I can go with smaller and a recharger using a solar power cell. Guys all of these old telephones the little princess phones or your classical rotary phones can all become field telephones You all understand that right? It's a simple process and in fact it's so simple it's ridiculous but this way they have their own onboard power. They power the line downrange from point to point and you can create an entire grid of telephones point to point using existing phone wire etc. and create the equivalent to an intercom, oh a field telephone system. If you have a switching station, you know, an operator station, you know, that everything goes to, you can talk to any of the other lines based upon what the RO, the operator does, the radio operator does, that's routing from the central point where the switchboard is. So you can have one phone operating from, say, one house in a neighborhood to the next house to another house and back and forth. And it works just like the old phone system. In fact, that's all you're doing is building up the old phone system. Copper wire or steel wire can be used to get your wires run from point A to point B. Field phone line is available, but black and white phone line will work just as well. In fact, if you're really lucky and you pay attention, you'll find that electrical, like telephone companies, have abandoned a lot of stuff in place and the line runs for miles. You don't care if they've gimmied it up or whatever. The idea is you get all that copper wire to work with that runs for miles and miles and miles. It might even disappear from where it is and be put into use and serviced somewhere else. Remember, you only need a couple of strands for each one of those to go from point A to point B to the hub and then out again. But you can set up a power supply with any of these phones and with the advent of inexpensive solar power, there isn't any reason for it to cost you a dime. Once you've got the batteries in there, people, they're going to, it'll run indefinitely. You can sit indefinitely and then run as needed. Pick it up and put it, put it, it runs. In fact, you even set up so when you pick it up, what will happen is it will signal at the other end, they'll hear a bloop bloop because it's going to send a pulse downrange. You can even set it up to ring at the other end. How do you like that? You hear a bloop bloop here and they hear a bling bling at the other end and know that the, oh that's right, the radio operator, that observer Or that office coordinator who is manning the central radio and signal communications pod can pick up the phone and confirm, yep, who is it? What do you want to talk to? Want to talk to B? They hook up and switch over to B and your A and A talks to B. Congratulations. In reality, it's A to the hub, which is kind of like C. And on to the B unit, which is the third tier in the connection. You can even do party connections if you want to, not exactly critical, but sometimes rather than repeating things ten times, hooking everybody up to one line and having one person inform everybody what's going on saves a lot of third parties in between. So just something to think about there. And again, all of these silly little phones that everybody thinks they want to get rid of. If you had to go out and make them, it would be wasting a lot of your time. Somebody else already built them. Everybody else is just about giving them away. Take them and put them in a box and save them. It's old earth technology that we can easily put back online. Your tax dollars and your phone bill dollars paid for it years ago, decades and decades and decades ago. Think about it. Wow, here's something you didn't have before. Radio engine crankshaft for the right are 1820 aircraft engine, FSN 2810-00-3065940 marked prop shaft bushing, not board. 4.6 inches by 12.5 inches, 42 pounds. We'll take some total colada. And if that is brand new in the box for an ultralight project, and it does look like it's new, that would be a very useful tool for part of your engine adapter kit, especially if you're taking some of these new smaller three-banger or four-banger engines that are inline or that are opposing. Oh, that would be so simple. It's ridiculous. Lightweight. In fact, this is the core component of the project. I'm going to have to talk to Captain Monahan about this. I want to say, hey, this is a great deal of Communications Tuesday. And run into something by accident that you didn't expect to see there, which is pretty cool. So again, you never know what you're going to find. This is, by the way, over in the miscellaneous military section. A lot of other stuff that they have there, air filtration system, chemical biological protection, shelter. system NBC circulation filter for protective shelters used for medical, billowing, command and control, and rest and relief. Simplified collection protection equipment provides 500 CFM minimum airflow to reduce contamination transfer during entry or exit to protective shelters. Hey, brand new in the box. Or is it unused? Limited quantity. Fall special, $400 apiece. That's for the vestibule slash the, again, as it says, for leaving, entering and leaving a controlled slash a protective area, which is really cool. These are the odds and ends items where if you get one, you can copy it once you see what they did and build your own and lots of them. But it's nice to have one right off the get-go to get things working right for you. Oh, yeah, that's right. Anyway, a bunch of other stuff, weather balloons being another one. We talked about building up our own camera pods. As a matter of fact, there are weather balloons. Let's see, simple weather balloons. These are the big ones. A relatively small 800 gym balloon capable of reaching 100,000 feet. Well, we don't want to go 100,000 feet. We just want to tether the balloon. but carry an observation payload. Or carry, again, a transceiver to create fake air traffic with lots of air chatter and something that people might really, really, really have an interest in all following and wasting resource on. They also have $10 balloon meteorological 30 gram. These are K-SAM Corporation of America who made them. And it looks like it might be about one meter. 3 foot in diameter used, the other ones are 7 foot. For $10, something cheap and easy to have on the shelf. Weather balloons do come in kind of handy for all kinds of projects, including eyes in the skies with these again, cameras and a retransmitter so that whatever you see up above is sent down below and sorted by your security camera receiver. Wow, you could have more than one camera working at the same time. No way! Yes way. Another thing, on switchboards, not only do they have the amplifiers, the phone amplifiers guys, but they have the British UC World War II ten line switchboards in stock. I'd go used in fair condition to save a chunk of change. I know that the others would be tested, etc., etc., but it's not that difficult to deal with a switchboard. They also have operators terminal board for World War II, UC British 10-line switchboard unused and apparently brand new for $35 apiece. Probably this is Canadian surplus. Can't have had these until not too long ago, even though the World War two just something to think about there most likely That's where these came from We are almost to the top of the hour before I go any further. Do we have a caller? I just heard a ding almost system star six if you want to unmute yourself Go ahead caller if you want if you're not don't worry for everybody out there We are headed towards the top. Yeah, I would ask again. We do have enough time after all it is Well, it's only the 17th of December. We've got plenty of time if you would drop a Christmas card or better still thanks to our friends in Florida. We got the cards and we appreciate that. Also our friends in Bulgaria. We've got a card from Bulgaria. and who else can get one from here? Hold on, I got them on the board. We got Pennsylvania again, thank you, and I know I'm hoping we'll get some more from Pennsylvania and from Texas. So if you could guys, grab us a postcard from your AO, send it to PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. Again, that's PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. It is Communications Tuesday. How about you communicate a little friendship there? And we're going to put them on the wall where they belong and use them as part of a photo shoot when the time comes. So whatever you pick, if it's cool and it definitely is unique, you'll be able to go, hey, that's my postcard, the picture there for the station. That's the whole idea. So everybody gets a chance to go, hey, that's really cool. So, again, PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130, that's PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. Drop a postcard if you're anywhere around the planet, especially, still haven't gotten one from our friends in Bangladesh, but I know we have a whole lot of listeners in Bangladesh. So, if you're listening over there on that side of the planet, we appreciate it and we understand. Hey, everybody's limited in resources, but if you guys could get together and throw a postcard in the mail to PBN, that's Patriot Broadcasting Network, PBN, P-O-Box, 194. Dexter, Michigan 48130. Again, PBN PO Box 194, Dexter, Michigan 48130. We appreciate from anywhere on the planet. Ideally, we get something from every country and certainly from all of our friends in the United States that are listening. It'd be kind of cool if the state of Jefferson had its own postcards too, wouldn't it? Hey, that would be kind of neat. How could you do that? Oh, you could have them printed up. By local printers, as a matter of fact, it wouldn't be that hard. One of our friends does that with work that he does to inform people about his church services. Something like that. So it doesn't mean he can't do it. So maybe the state of Jefferson needs its own postcard. Hey, that would be really neat. Might even have an artist to be able to put a few things together. Lots of images of Jefferson. Lots of images of the beautiful state of Jefferson in all of its bloom with all of its unique scenery and background. I hear Christmas music. God bless to republic.

A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. And speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. The freedoms 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 and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits 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 is spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold.
