Maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40. Maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much. Order right yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody's options. Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it. Instrument you'll never know. But in your own lives, and in no while do they will only make you feel ugly. The 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 is a 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's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate. And your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press. And you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life comes in control. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken some number and you've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm, so they could burn down churches and see and re-harm, and keep our country put men of God in jail, harass your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oath they've sworn. And your daughters, visitors, 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 will fight to save? Wish your children. Bend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of plan. Preserve our great Republican each God given right. And pray to God towards your freedom as Iowa key vanished in the midst of 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 him 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 fought to keep, what would be your answer? He called out from the grave. Intelligence report, I'm R. Kurnkey. One day closer to victory, all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, southwest, east. micro effect network in the morning also on the world liberty free radio dot for m g dot com ron a m and m micro station cb base stations and ultra net technologies east and west of the mississippi along with uh... and indiana bring dot radio dot com ron the homework network from the top of maine to the bottom of florida from the bottom of florida grocery article of mexico with a couple backup for anything else good morning southern virginia We've got a new micro FM running off of one of our hallmark systems out there. Guys, I want to say good morning, Gary, but they're on the coast. You're on the island this morning. If you're heading back by the ferry, you're listening on the radios there on the ferry to the micro effect network in the morning and an independent radio broadcasting network. Congratulations. Anyway, Florida all the way across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma. Big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both 3rd, 5th, 5th, and our friends in. Also, we are saying good morning to Colorado. You guys are hunting down and tracking down the anti-gun people. They came out and they got everybody's face. They tried to backstab everybody, but we had people watching our people and we are making lists. Got plates. faces, IDs, that allowed us to go well and watch to see where they went back to. And now we have the spiders behind the scenes that were pushing and coordinating all of this. So good work to our friends in Colorado that were doing the second tier while the idiots came out to her the clipboard holders, our people were stepping back a little farther to watch who showed up, crack them all down. So very good work. Congratulations. Good play. And another card laid out. a foot as they say, Boulder and in Denver, the Denver City of Darkness. Yeah, but we know where more of those little dark cracks you thought they were going to manipulate from behind the scenes are now on our fine state of Jefferson is in place and squared away. Guys, remember, use those Jefferson nickels, use those Jefferson $1 coins and use those Jefferson $2 bills wherever you can. You get them from the bank, you circulate them and you circulate them in mass. And that way you reinforce the state of Jefferson not only with Jefferson silver but also with the other currency and coin. You're in the state of Jefferson, you're in the state of Jefferson, you're in the state of Jefferson. Repeat, repeat. And that needs to be pressed home constantly and non-stop. Every dollar you put in a circulation, your economy should be a Jefferson dollar. Jefferson currency. Jefferson $2 bills, Jefferson $1 coins. You ask the bank for them, they'll get them. Any dollars you can put into circulation with whatever you got, paycheck, retirement, whatever, currency whenever possible so that it reinforces the rest of the occupied left coast. You guys are chopping it out behind enemy lines and we understand how difficult it is to keep up the good work. Turn back east with the sun in our eyes and we sweep across the plains leaf over the Virgin Islands back to the city land and the Smokies. Where the restaurant crew is gravity team is OK, teams the mob, the aircraft crew is the resource team, we're retired telecommunications workers, bring us a golden spike. It is a beautiful Wednesday, it is great, it is cold. Winter time! And we're in the Michigan winter wonderland where it is beautiful. Look at all that money laying on the ground, all that white stuff out there. Look at all that money! Everybody else in the plant is begging for fresh water to hit the ground. Only America do you piss and moan and whine about it. Come on, wake up and realize what the rest of the plant is looking at. Whoa! Look at all that money out there. Anyway, a beautiful fluffin' breeze. Oh, have we got Don with us there, John? Well, what's the date today? What is this special day, sir? The market is the 22nd day of January, year of our Lord, 2013. And as you say, beautiful day. I don't even see the sun today. Hey, you know, I can say, be presented because in one hand I have my trusty 1911 magazine, you know, between index finger and baby finger. They just meet in the same plane on that palm chamber. Nothing down the door, every moment mark of the magazine and I keep magazine well with the magazine and now we can tell everybody it is weapons Wednesday the perimeter is secure and most certainly there is equal opportunity coercive force when the time comes and again that hand cannon makes a big difference guys 1911 there are 1911s out there as we've said the hovering price round $400 sometimes a little less sometimes a little more of course it's a matter of how many bells and whistles you've spent anything you want in a gun just like you can in a car or skis or anything else if you want all the bells and whistles You know, we can start ratcheting that price tag up, but the basic 1911 speaks well from that one that you heard right there, it'll do just fine keeping you alive. Again, the basics. Oh, yeah, there is in terms of spending, but 1911s are stepping up into at least the pew, you know, to Oldsmobile Range, and there are other grades of cattle. Hey Mark, the thought line runs on Darren Phoenix here a little live, or recorded a portrait with a L88. The L88s like they were way cool cars. The only known red with a red It's one of one. It went for half a million dollars. That's like talking like... But the Ferraris are up there now. We're talking about money. We're talking about gonna drag every other big block Corvette up a lot because you wonder why we're talking about this? What's the demand for guns? Used to be able to buy a really nice, you really nice fine piece. It never beat a single 10 peg in. $100. You buy the... You're hard pressed. You know, you can find those for $400. You know, it's like I hear Janis Joplin up in the distance. while you can. And she might not have been talking about guns, but we are. L88 Corvette is way out of my reach. Here's again, the basic model will get you down the road and still have fun in the process and you go, I did it with it, I handled it, but I do know that one of his brothers is very expensive. There you go, yup. Speaking of very expensive and talking about 1911s, you guys, we've brought this up before and point this out. You know, for eye candy, those Christiansen arms, just like it sounds, Christiansen, the old Damascus way and they beat and fold and they hammer and they heat on and they cut and heated and bent. I can't do you guys. But also understand the half a million dollar L88 Corvette. I'm never gonna teen 11 built from steel. Like a zebra, everyone looks different. Just take a moment and look and see what some of the rich folks. And again, I know a lot of companies remember Walmart, there's a lot of handguns out. Yes, that's true. There are a lot of handguns laying around in pictures on the internet. keyword. There's available weapons that is up and down as far as what might be in the inventory. Even $10 cheaper means that everybody will focus on that particular one and they will carry it away. That is what's been for $400 on average and Centerfire probably got the best example. A flare gun with all the goodies, all the trinkets, all the extra you know bells and whistles that you need be you know that with minimum you know minimum effort but or the service, 445 ACP. $400 is the average five inch standard slide, standard frame, which personally that would be my first choice. As we pointed out, as these became available or should say as a less and less available, we obviously go to the second and third choices. A lot of people have already done that. If you're patient, they'll restock progressively, we hope, and should for all practical purposes. Beyond that even used right now like SIG guns are out there You're looking at 450 to 500 apiece for a used SIG. I'm sorry I go a standard 1911 go government parts government equipment and that'll settle it real quick right there Lots of mags lots of spare parts You can always change it out however you want to when the time comes by switching out parts working done to begin with So I know all of a sudden all the sick owners are going, oh, Bart, that's horrible. Well, no, you got a sick and that's what you committed to. Like I said, I'm not going to tell you how to buy your weapons. So the big owners are probably very happy with them. Yeah, congratulations. But the idea here is that especially for people coming into the system, remember availability of parts, availability of magazines and commonality and ammunition also. 1911 is a neat little little. Also understand that parts that are left, this is an old Ed. Let's go back to Ed Cole was a General Motors back in the 50s and he had a great quote Mark. This is just tremendous. Everybody should learn from this in the car industry or gun industry. We really need a decocker. Do we really need a decocking mechanism on this? No, it's just an extra good evening, you know, for the sake of, you know, again, what can we add in the way of something to make you think about? Make you think about it, or force you to think about it in reality. Hopefully if the decocker fails in such ways it won't create a failure of the whole gun. And I know... An embarrassing discharge. Well, again here, guys, the other weapon that's out there, $400 under $300, that is, apparently there's a glut of them. Turkish, it's, in order to pay the Turks to gil, she'll bribe the Turks, government to whore out as an international prostitute, we've allowed a bunch of Turkish weapons to come in that you've never seen before. Now, you might, as I pointed out, this is politics because, you know, the government doesn't like this person or that person, but if they want to buy mercenaries, you have commerce with them. So the Turkish prostitutes have sent us the Turkish Canik pistol, and that's what's showing up for about $300 dollars brand new in the box these are nice little kits I would again they're an orphan gun up until a little bit ago and apparently there are some magazines that have come in now since the mags have come in this makes the weapon viable they're 9mm Parabellum nothing fancy they are a 17 shot pistol out of the box and this is another temporary solution I say temporary for a reason I've qualified this over and over again when we've recommended certain weapons. Let me give you an example. I mentioned the NAGOT revolver, which guys for a long time was $98, $99. In fact, they were as low as $90 apiece, and they were cheap. Ammunition was available and is still available to a limited degree. Now, those $99 guns aren't $99 guns. Well, the market drove them up to about 150 apiece if you can find them. Now, Cabela's has had them. What happened is, the big box stores were short on inventory, so what they did is they started physically buying them up. Talking to the importers, guys, the reason those pistols were only $99 apiece, well, gone when they filled up the transport boxes with nagot rifles, there was a little slop space in the can. So you know what they did? They took these long narrow crates of nagat revolvers, there's about 202 a crate, and they shoved them in and filled up the space that was left over. And they were sent as a goody gun. They were sent as an import goody gun where it's like, hey, by the way, we got these. You want some? They're like, they probably bought them for, you know, 12, $14 a piece. But they came up, showed up over here, and the reason they were so cheap is because they were like, oh, and by the way, there's a pile of these off to the side. Yeah. Now, those, when all of a sudden people start saying, hey, I want to go over and buy nagats because we need to find a gun to sell because there ain't nothing to sell. That's what drove the price up by another 50 percent. Okay, that's why Cabela's is offering them for 150 and 160 or 170 dollars, putting it in which box store has them. Now, the Canik, this particular gun, is a prostitute gun. We needed to buy military whores to go over and kill Syrian women and kids in Syria. what they did is we bought the prostitute. You got to pay, you know, when you're in a red light district of the Middle East where you've got, you know, those kinds of critters hanging around, you buy their junk. This is why all evil semi-automatic magazine fed shotguns were brought in from Turkey. This is why evil large capacity magazine pistols are brought in from Turkey. You see a big wave of these from other countries like this. Well, you don't. Not really on the market. It's hard to find certain guns right now. But the Turks have been allowed to wash the market for a bit. Don't worry, once they decide to pee on them again, they'll be cut off. And I'm warning you about this because then the parts will be cut off, the mags will be cut off, and everything else. If anything flip-flops politically, Turkey is one of those question mark nation states. Doesn't mean they can't build stuff. The Greeks and the Turks build a lot of weapons. Okay, don't make a mistake about that. So this is like the equivalent to the Glock package or any others that are out there. It looks more like a Ruger than anything guys. It really does. In fact, I'm suspecting I haven't done any research on the Ruger pistol of the same make, same design, basic design. I'd be willing to bet that the Rugers may not be made here. I haven't really looked. I know a lot of the other companies have been doing this in the last 20 years, last 10 years especially. mechanics are $300 they come with all the other goodies like the molded holsters they come in their own box carrying case everything self-contained take a look at them I do the OD green one why hey blends in with the environment where we are in this temperate world we're here on this side of the North American planet okay no I'm a North American part of the planet otherwise well catch-as-catch-can whatever it is you think is your best flavor and color they do offer them in five colors including two tones by the way so as long as there are a great point in killing women and kids in uh... seria for the israelis the church will be allowed bring guns in the after a while the israelis who will tell the u.s. government to pee on turkey and i'll stop bringing them in and then you'll see a change so they are a good cash a gun they're a good five ten weapon and if you had to carry this personal defense i'm sure that works just like any other hand cannon but they are a short-term solution mags are not available to center fire ClassicFirearms.com has the magazines available. They come with two 17 round magazines as is. So as a cache weapon or as an orphan area defense gun, they work just fine. Not America made. But, large capacity, you grab it, you got a fistful of bullets, and pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, And then my shotgun goes to business, man. Because I cut my shotgun because I had my little pistol stashed away in the wall there. Anyway, I hear the bells. We have a caller. Who do we have? Who do we have? Jump on there. We got you, caller. A little distorted, so back away from your mic. Go ahead. Standing better. Oh, great. Fantastic. In Arkansas, I called yesterday about taking out my mountain howitzer at the lake and celebrating my heritage. I went out there, yes, back then, with a black Cadillac. parked in a corner, kind of sideways to the lake. So I got out, they were just sitting there, all blacked out windows. The lake so I could see the driver's side on a camera sticking out the window. So I was looking around to the back of the vehicle, that vehicle towards the passenger side, and it was the National Geographic. I decided not to shoot my halter. That way I wouldn't have the federality disturbing dating activities. They were beautiful. And they had one female, kind of landed maybe, I guess 30 yards away from him and just sat up there and was watching me for 30 minutes. And that was really amazing. And on another point, Anmo, and I'm pretty sure he'll ship anywhere, quality guns and competitive prices. And his name is Clinton, and his daughter is a co-owner. working days when he gets off of work he comes in 2 p.m. 22 ammo. Guys help him on that. Catch us, catch Ken. They're actually, in fact hold on here, one of our friends in the chat room posts a 22, but I don't know if that's available or just recommendation in spec. They're ammo.com, Aguila. They might have some ammunition on hand here, some 22. Might want to check ammo. airammo.com and see what they have available. Air ammo. Everybody's got Eli. The only thing you know what, this is against me guys. Before 22 Specialized Competition ammo was few and far between. But I've noticed since all the factories cranked out their latest batches of 22, everything is precision 22 ammo. And I don't really believe that. To be quite honest, I think what they're doing is their flim-flamming. All the companies have produced the next batch of 22. 22 is like I said in the earlier hours, is like bread and butter ammo. It used to be what paid to keep the lights on and it kept the employees busy when there were down times. Because you always sell what happened with the selling out of 22 ammo. Eli, his precision ammo, and he always expected to pay, even back in the 70s and 80s when I was in competition, you'd pay five, six dollars a box back when you used to pay 45 to seventy cents a box for standard twenty two at the most that was the price you right now he lies running for a fifty round box about fourteen fifteen dollars okay well that there's different colors of boxes which designate different breeds and flavors of loads of Eli came up with I expect those to be expensive okay but everybody even the stinking Russian stuff coming in is now and I'm looking at it and it ain't nothing special about any of them when you pull them out of the box. So I think all they've done is changed the box to make you believe that you need to spend that much more on that 22 ammo. And that's that, the way the characters that have taken over the firearms industry are marketing. Not just the firearms, the people on the companies that we've known for years, but a whole bunch of them are the shysters that have taken over and bought up these companies which everybody's been talking about for the last five, six years now. So you want to shop around and find the best price. And I will say this, Aquila 22 ammunition, very high quality, put in standard load, standard spec, it works first time every time. So it's good ammo if they have it in stock and that wouldn't be a problem buying that. I just don't know what the price ranges are again for most of this stuff nowadays. Because and it's it's out there, but you're gonna have to shop from point A to point B and see what it is that's still in existence The 22 was a 22 presses guys are totally separate production lines from everything else made So there should be a lot more of it out there than there is Certainly everybody's absorbing it. That's the biggest problem I think you see that more and more by the way, did you take your at least howitzer somewhere else and pull the trigger one? Well it But I don't know, I understand. Well, the bald eagle's made up for it. It's like, I'm home to the park and I'm like, hey, look at all the bald eagles. You know, it's like that's one of the last things you'd really expect to see, cap on your doorstep there. Regardless of the dollar price involved, one ounce of gold would purchase a good quality man suit at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, and today.

You'll just be left. at ease, let's get to T.com. and you see the really excellent camouflage that's carrying the black gun. The point that be made here. You guys, in late last week, we... Now, I cannot speak for the other 49 states, but, you know, again, you know, sometimes you want to keep your cards close to your vest, but I can't get this information out to everybody. I know that there are people listening. I... But I got to throw this card on the table, Mark. When we saw on television the action against the people When they showed portions of that team mark here at the back of a white vehicle, great to hide in the smell of shooters and they were in there, was in their white glove table mark. Just sometimes we get something and don't recognize it, but sometimes the other side does something different, starts on the table, so maybe they'll change, maybe we, I heard a bell, mark, perhaps. Hey Bill, come in here, go ahead please. Well, I had one question for you and one thing, you guys were talking you know, maintenance and ham radio gear and CD gear. And for the life of me, I can't remember what it's called, but it might be called friction, that it's not actually sticky. And then you put it around like your connector roof, and in order to get it off, you have to cut it off with a knife. Yeah, that's friction tape. You just find it. I don't know what I have really... You know, that friction tape is great. I haven't seen it around, and I mean, it's out there, but I haven't seen it like most regular stores or hardwares. And it's one of those many items that have disappeared you know again they're parent off inventory and it's not that it's still offered in the industry you just probably have to order it hardware that the decent hardware you'd probably still find it there or an electric shop you got somebody actually you know the thing is here like in Michigan the industry has been hit so hard because you know the supporting industries that supplied operations we had three really houses here they're all gone they didn't go down the movement of locations there and that was one of the several places was guaranteed you'd go and all these items we're talking about, the heavier bulk items like this, were on the shelf and they're not there. And for instance, in Dexter here, we have a hardware. Hardware used to be on the ground floor. You'd go in and it was all kinds of industrial items to include modeling technology and brass and metals and plastics, little racks that had all of that. Well, America has lost all of its industry and they drove out all the business here they could as far as factories or industry goes and hardware now is like paint store on the first floor and all the real hardware stuff that's left is down in the basement. Kitchenware stuff and the fufu stuff and a big like the whole front of the store is now a paint shop. The real hardware which is minimal is downstairs. You got to go down you know and find you know plumbing being the basic but all the specialized stuff or even electrical specialized stuff is all packaged It's all container off of the rack and if you do, even if you try to order it, one thing I've noticed about Ace Hardware, they've gone mostly China Sport and bubble rack, bubble packaging. And if you try and find it, most of the inventory they used to carry under their traditional American supplies, even when I asked for example, a stick channel. They used to be made by one of the companies right here in Michigan. It's PVC but it's square. In other words, you can't do it. You can use it for all kinds of stuff. Actually, where it was real popular for the longest time was to do downspouts. Making fabricating downspouts and they were squares that are round. You can't find that anywhere in the industry. In fact, the place I bought it from, which was the hardware here in town, it's like, you said, okay, you had this, this is what it is. Oh, yeah, I'm sure we have it. You can order it and then start looking it up and you realize under the new inventory all that stuff's been cut out. Again, as we become a poorer nation, less and less of what we really need will be available. And if you see it and you find it, it's an American adhesive tape, especially any types of tapes. It'll be a higher quality. And the friction tape, kind of nice to have a roll of that right there with the electrical tape for repair work if you're a maintenance guy. You want to be able to use the shrink wrap for shrink tubing. A question I have for you about antennas, and I've looked in a few places and I don't know. But I was just, just in case you know this, you know how you have a normal halfway diapole? Right, yeah. Going east-west as an example. But what would happen if you tied another leg going north-south? Oh yes, yeah. Would that give you a better pattern? Yes, well it'll change the pattern, but in fact you can run, depending on who built your antenna, a tri-leg is very common. Yeah, but they're on the same plane, east-west. I'm talking about having a north side. Yeah, you could just simply, that's purely a matter of, you know, applying a particular element of antenna theory. At the same frequency. Yeah, you're gonna end up with a profile that's going to print differently on the map. Yes. What I was talking about before, what we would do is adjust the antennas here, the micro-FM antennas, to hit the main roads. So our dipoles points of the compass the way they're constructed with at least two of the radio rigs that we've got here that are about counting a half away. And the reason they're built the way that they are is because we have intersections. If you look at the state of Michigan, we're blocky. We're square. Everything is north, south, east, west with the roads, especially in the south. In the north, it's even more obvious. I mean, they just cut an azimuth with a compass and said, go that way. The transom pointed north and it went north. So if you want to print a signal like we want to do an FM, we print a signal, we adjust it accordingly utilizing that system. Go ahead. There's a computer recycle center here in Austin and I'm getting ready to send you a package. So I'll put in a card in there with my contact info. But I might be able to pick up some stuff for the alternate internet because I mean I've even seen small servers for practically nothing. But they have so many so many computer parts. A good reasonable price. I don't know if it's strictly because of Dale nearby, but I mean this place here just gets all this computer stuff. Just like remember with radio geeks, Motorola. You've got a Motorola factory nearby, you've got all kinds of guys who work for the company when they do trade-ins. He ends up taking the trade-ins but not necessarily wanting the product. And the guys usually carry this stuff away for a song and dance and then they show up at like the Dayton Hamfest with two truckloads of Motorola parts. And when you tell them if they're right there, that's probably what's happening. And you were talking about those like dish and I don't even know what the other ones called dish network and I can't think of the other one that's popular. But you can take those dish and it's not, how can I put this, it's not as easy as some things in radio, a small, and then you have line of sight with those two dishes. You have to remember they have like a 20 degree offset. Right, that's what we've talked about before. One of the most common things we do with those dishes is use them for micro-revery broadcasts. Actually for microwave contact, point to point on the site. People throw them out all the time, grab them. In fact, that's the most difficult part. The computers are no big deal. The accoutrements are all off the shelf. You can find them from 100 different sources and typically, or mid-power, small format, microwave broadcasting units. But if you can put a bigger plate behind them like that, they're priceless. And that's where the money is. It's the hardware. The sending units and receiving units are nothing. I mean, right now, I don't have a company at my fingertips. Well, even, let's put it this way. In 1994, I could buy a receiving and sending module, microwave, that is the size of an American postcard. It will cost $5.96. We set these up all over the place for rebroadcasting or for signal communications for locations all over the state. because I can help that from a certain location, create a step so that I can rebroadcast it to another one of the units. And we were able to step across the county line of sight utilizing rolling the terrain, taking advantage of high points in the area. But for $6 a unit, there aren't as many of those price of the dollar, you know, value of the dollar has gone down, price has gone up. But if you look around, you'll find that those units are still out there and they're actually pretty reasonably priced. Now you take that same basic idea but you apply it to these larger dishes. You've got a stronger stream, more reliable signal, likely to be bumped or missed. In other words, it's more forgiving when you have a bigger target. And that is a solution. And that's really what most of, like right now, what you're talking on, what you're probably gonna be talking on a landline, chances are more than 80% of that signal bouncing across the country to get out to Cammiye, Idaho. was done on a, is being done right now as we speak on a microwave point to point transmitter because the lion's share of remote long distance calls are not done by fiber optic, they're being done by microwave transmitter from point to point. Where you have the received transmit. Yes. And one other... Do you mean wave it up on the tower bill? Yes. Oh! My my older son is listening right now. He can appreciate your job. Go ahead If you manage to get one of those dishes that still has the little amplifier the little white piece of plastic And if you can get that cover off you can look in there and see where the little feet so that will tell you automatically Where the focal point is of that dish with frequency on those dishes say I'm just picking a number at random if you're running at 1 gigahertz gigahertz you have God, my memory's getting bad, but you either double or quadruple the gain of that antenna. The frequency goes up, it gains increases on all dish type antennas. So to get more gain, you can increase your frequency, but of course there's a limit to that. Your variable output, you can only go, I think it's 60 smaller units the way they're set up. And then you've got issues with regard to subcircuit malfunctions usually in small components starting with the diodes again. I read an interesting article if you do a search on the net 12 gauge wire satellite dish of that type to a Wi-Fi dish and you can pick up Wi-Fi from literally like a mile away with one of those dishes. Well yeah it's better than the bagels can. You just need a small connector and 12 gauge wire and that's pretty much all you need to put it on that dish of course you got to have a unit that takes a connector for your Wi-Fi. One, in that same article, they talked about using a six foot dish and they were picking up Wi-Fi from over five miles away. Bigger the collector, the more efficient the signal. Bigger is always better than antennas and antenna arrays. That's the basic... Would they have a picture of one of these things mounted on the guy's truck? About the small dish network type dish. And it was just amazing the signals he was... Again, there's something else I was trying to find for you here real quick. Before I go any farther, I want to point out The reason I mention my oldest son is a lot of the equipment that we have built on, according to his own towers, as a young man, as a younger man, as one of the boys, because he was smaller, it was his job to be up there with the primary engineer, getting up there on that 100 and 120 and 150 foot mast to put in final installations and such, also to put the mast up to begin with. So appreciate that windswept job you had before working microwave towers. worst one I ever did, the worst one, it was on the Biscayne 1 building, Miami, and it was like on the 47th floor building. On top of that building they had a 400-foot tower, and if it was raining, the rain would hit the wall, actually blow the rain to where it was going up. They just won 400-foot power on top of a 40-some story, and they were rebroadcasting the old HBO, the omnidirectional antenna at, I forget, 1.6 or 1.2. When you get up there and you're on the top of the tower for the airplane. Not quite that bad for the airport, that doesn't that far. I did almost get killed because of Nixon once. I was working on a tower in Miami Beach and I had forgotten he was coming to Miami Beach. So I was up there on this tower working and this helicopter shows up with a guy with a like a sniper rifle and it was pointing right at me and he was just saying, what am I doing up on this tower as the president's coming by? I quickly went down the tower. Adios. First you folded up your sniper rifle as an extension tool, and then you went back down the tower, right? No, but it was about shaking a little bit with the wind from that helicopter. Well, you know, it was amazing how fast I went down. The one thing that I've been pointing out to people is, again, there's all kinds of jobs you can have in this country. You think your job's bad. Although, again, a lot of people enjoy it. There's a lot of fun work you're doing. I mean, if you like doing the work, It's not that much of a problem, it's just that, man, there are some days you really don't want to go up when it's weather like this outside. But if it's demanded, then it better be squared away with the gear and, you know, cold weather equipment. Florida wouldn't be so bad. Being here in Michigan and working, doing mass work. But you learn all these rules, because, you know, you're not there by yourself. Oh, no, that's a team effort. When you hand something off, you ask, do you have this, and you wait for the person say yes and then you let go. Stand under the tower looking up as the guy's working. I got this six foot piece of pipe that just came well 300 to 400 feet gravity sucks and all you can see is a coin size object heading towards you. Spear about 240. I mean they beat that into you literally. Oh yeah no I understand. Handoff. You just don't hand it to somebody and let go. You make sure you know they have it. And that gets into something we've talked about with maintenance operations in general. The people get no feel. Like, well, I know what I'm doing. It's like, you know, that's what happens when two schools clash. Where you're used to the idea of, you know, secure. You know, things must be secure. You have a procedure. This is how we do it. And other people are like the contact. Yeah, exactly. They really can't relate to it because they don't understand where you've been. And well, thank you. I need to be talking so anyway Bill. Thank you, sir. We are at the top We're going down your number for night vision, please. Hey that number two three one seven nine six eight four five eight First generation gun sight of four hundred dollars. No two three one seven nine six eight four five eight and that'll slap right onto your rifle people So again get old at Don why deal with stranger reveal a friend God bless the Republic. Yes world order. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run but we are on the march both day and night.
