Mark Koernke discussed preparedness, micro FM broadcasting, commodity price inflation, and government overreach. He addressed California's proposed mileage-based vehicle tax as an example of cumulative taxation rather than replacement taxation, compared it to British colonial taxation that sparked the American Revolution, and criticized full-time legislatures and cronyism. The show covered micro FM transmitter power and range, coffee supply chain disruptions due to fungal blight in South America, long-term coffee storage strategies, and the cultural significance of coffee and tea ceremonies. Callers discussed PRC-25 and PRC-77 military radio batteries available on eBay, battery restoration techniques, and interchangeable parts for these radios. Koernke also criticized VA hospital practices and government inefficiency.
Remember, it's all completely natural, available at participating health food stores nationwide. A figure walked him 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. 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 of the free, 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 use 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 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 some 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 seasonally 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 So their children will be named. 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 a slave? The guns of the Republic arise. Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great republic and each god given right. for all of our brothers on the lines in occupied territories East. A micro effect network in the morning. We're also on Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. Indiana Freedom Talk Radio dot com. We're on the M&FM Micro Space B base stations and alternate technologies. East and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're on the homework network from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida. From the bottom of Florida across the arch of the Gulf of Mexico. Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both the 3rd, the 5th, the 5th, and our friends in Colorado waving the left coast with a great king beacon among otherwise dark. Turning back to the east we sweep across the planes over the Mississippi and land in the Smokies with the restaurant crews, grammar teams, okay teams, the Mobile Grammar Consortium bring us the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. It is the sixth year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Social with a K 2014 calendar. Well, back then we made six. Anyway, it is Thursday. We're headed towards the weekend. Tomorrow morning 0800 hours. All of our micro FM stations at the camps here in Michigan. Camp Emmerich, Emerson, Camp Wayland North, New Tassa, the Ogham Aranges, and Gagheecham will all be open for the Bundy Ranch. People are going to be bringing specific additional volunteers to the Bundy Ranch, and so volunteers with the trucks. We're going to do like we did when Bob Star was attacked down in Georgia. Everybody's going to donate everything right there. We're going to find the truck or the rental truck that's needed, load everything up. give the drivers the money donated from everybody that's in the units that are there and point them out west. That's it. The idea is how quickly can you get out there, drop everything off and get back. Get on with other business. So again, for everybody out there, that is the mission. Very symbolic and the torpedoes will be. Anyway, we have a caller there. Caller, who do we have? I'm right in there. Yeah, I got a broadcasting on the door for the head Well, it depends on your area. Number one, if you're in a high-build metropolitan area, remember, your best bet is to stay low, low power. You know, keep it within, you know, an area of so many blocks or, you know, whatever area you think is. If you're in a rural area, it's purely a area, again, of what's the community make-up. The background goes. Some of our guys run up to 100 watts. They've been running for decades. We've got several in the country that you cop the main expressways. and they've been running for anywhere from 25 to almost 30 years. So again, everybody caused any problems. Some of them actually are the benchmark micro FM stations that have actually gone into court even and have beat down the bad guys on the other side. They didn't want to, but they knew they might have that fight and they actually were legal people to begin with. So they've actually kind of paved the way. They were kind of like the carpet, you know, carpet layers for everybody else. uh... five-watt radio will do a lot of what you're doing right now but if i want radio with just a little bit of power will go quite a ways uh... the but i i think that the issue but i mean more difficult but all india it that the the one to share with the law and they want to leave the road you cannot have the past but uh... will be to comment on that now that that the whole purpose then you can put the book again and the magazine get put it in the back I've just had enough in California. Remember, you have a gas tax in California, don't you? Yeah, 71 cents. Can you, does it make sense that they're going to add an attack? You have to re-verbalize them. They have to re-engineer it. It's called Word Scope. Here's the thing, and I bring it up. Just think about it. Here's what you need to ask everybody. Okay, why are they going to charge us a tax? No, it's a fee. No, it's a tax. You can take your little communist, you know, verbiage play and throw it out the window. This tax, of course, is so that everybody gets taxed uniformly, right? For the miles that they drive. Well then, we get rid of, we're gonna get rid of the gas tax because the reason for the gas tax was to pay for usage of the road. The more gas that you used, obviously the more you drive. Or you were paying more taxes for using the road. You've got to talk to everybody about this this way. Well, they're gonna drop the gas tax then, aren't they? But you see communists, all these, they are royalists, call them a car, they're monarchists. This is the same thing that happened back in the American Revolution. You know beforehand, they wanted to just throw tax upon tax upon tax. It's what England did in England. And that's why we shot their arse out of here. And it's why we need to shoot their arse out of this country now. Because they're not, it's not like they're gonna get off one tit and go to another and the tit will be more uniform. No, they wanna suck off all the tits on the pig. They want to go after everything. The only thing is, we're already skin and bone, and we have no jobs. Go ahead. Yeah, and people don't, people don't understand that California has two different, uh, constitutions. They were a republic. And when they got the second constitution, that's when they were, uh, you know, corporized. Public and Texas, you can public in California, they still says it on the flag, but it's the eighth largest economy in the world. Not just the United States, but the world. Before Arnold got out, a space that he passed was Girl Today, Mom and Dad in school. That is bad in California. As soon as I can, I'm going to Colorado. You might think about places like Utah or places where people are Idaho, are of like mind. Because you got to remember there's parts of Colorado, Boulder and Denver are no better now. I have a certain like-minded people, the piece of YF, when I do. Well, that's one of the problems that we've seen. And you know what, if you're thinking it's bad now, remember that it's been an incremental that everybody, well you know how it is if you've been there for any period of time. It's just, it's like, nonstop corporate slash professional full-time legislature, it's so full of fruit, schnuts and flakes, have to pass something. They have to pass, we gotta do something. No you don't, you didn't need to do anything. In fact, that's why I remember almost every state legislature uh... well virtually every state legislature and all of your your local government for all part-time there were that there was this massive gaggle of professional parasites uh... on the dole the way we have now and it with every one of these new full-time jobs have created especially with their mindset today it has to be a six-digit paycheck so right off the bat you're in a lose-lose situation with these characters and of course once they've got that magic pen always vote themselves raises. And those raises, you know, just totally a skew right off the bat the tax base. Then on top of that they've got their cronies that they always prefer either the faggots, you know, slash queers that they're pushing from the one end, or just plain criminals from the other. And this has become so blatant that, you know, like where we are in Michigan, I have pointed this out, Dexter, Michigan, Chelsea, Michigan, and Pickney, Michigan, which are all right next to Ann Arbor, which is a very, like, it's Moscow on the Uron River, as we call it. What's cute about it is that each one of them, because of cronyism, they found some bottom land that you and I couldn't touch with a shovel or we'd be shot by the EPA and they'd do a slot raid on us. Each one of the schools they built were outside of the area of the town, in other words, were outside the city limit, intentionally, and each one of them is sinking. they were put on muck holes it's that we have to be a bit of me of an example of corrupt bureaucracy your status in just as much of a you become the point man for the rest of the country california has that you have stupidity and perversion but i still you know going back to the the taxes you a broke with gasoline as people about this will work the reason for this changing and having the monitor the vehicles always so that we can equally tax everybody for their usage all good so we're going to get rid of that inefficient gas tax one hundred percent gone right and then we'll only be tax what's necessary because if you taxes by the mile then everybody's going to pay a certain amount and that's it right We're not going to pad the pockets of the kosher mafia running the cement factories or the paving companies who are going to give you less and charge more every year, right? But that isn't what's going to happen. See, once they have more money in the coffers, they won't produce more. They won't do better. But my God, they will charge you more. And that's what you're facing. I just wanted to say, I mean, well, the big thing is pay attention with what you're doing with the micro FM. You've got the right idea. You want people to know what's going on. thing to remember there like you said height gives you range but even if you have a bigger transmitter remember we've mentioned this also you don't you know like for instance let's say you have a one watt transmitter and you get a five watt transmitter replace the one watt you're not going to go five times as far you're going to actually go only about twice as far but what happens is you get what we call better permeation or saturation of the broadcast area The big advantage of FM is that you get tremendous sound and in terms of treble and bass, but you also get good permeation through metal structures, brick walls, things like that if you have, again, a little more power if you're closer to the source for the transmission. Now it drops off very quickly. In other words, the one thing about FM2, which is why the commercial, we're originally military like it because the radio only goes so far and it stops. It's like a mushroom the way it broadcasts. The cool thing about that is that it also works for you the same way in that you can tweak your transmitter so that you can target a certain part of town and you can target your transmission so that, for instance, hit a larger part of the drive area, like if you have a road or a highway nearby. Okay, thank you, Mark. Thank you, sir. Appreciate the input. And again, micro FM broadcasting, guys. There's all kinds of neat tricks. You don't need to have much power to get out there even quite a ways. Our 1 watt that my son built originally was a Ramsey kit and it was about $29.95 for a M transmitter kit. Guys, we reached my simple 1 watt and in fact we also invested in it. Well what's funny is we used the basic kit, their 1 watt amplifier slash what's called an exciter. An amplifier helps you understand what it's doing, but it's, we are going to expand the signal, that FM signal. And that little one water reached a good chunk of the community here in all directions, guys, and with a very heavily improvised antenna that looked like, well, let's just say it was very unique. Okay, quite a spider web, normally the way you do an FM antenna. But what's interesting about it is the response we got, and the response that he got, he was doing, taking advantage of all the records and some of the cassette radio programs that I'd already collected and stuff that we put together over the years. uh... did his own independent broadcasting and one day we had one episode of all the superman series that for a for many years now they lost all copies of it it wasn't in the sequence in order because he was using that strange thing called email which most people did not use amazingly enough he started getting emails uh... hey where's what why is that what what did i get the broadcast what happened pretty much all points of the compass guys so you affect a lot of people are a lot of people are just casually listening and they get interested in because part of their and in fact typically will stay right because it did extra fancy uh... how well you do as a micro broadcaster locally broadcast issues offer information about whether or with uh... you know the others you know what they attention are columbus ohio rebroadcasters you'll traffic a lot of our guys in other parts of country do the same thing there's no local radio but if you tune in during the drive to the local microfem you will know to avoid that intersection where that little bumper kisser just took place and you won't get stuck in traffic and you won't be as you'll make it to work that's how radio was supposed to be it was envisioned that it was going to be local broadcasters and you know mom and pop operations bigger cities would have you know could have larger market share broadcasters but these little guys made it simple for people to actually have information and you know again the tip of their ear that would be useful in many ways. Make yourself useful in the process. Remind people about how stupid and boobish a lot of the nonsense is. It's out there that these characters are perpetrating against us. And you rub it in. You know don't be kind to them at all. They aren't going to be kind to you. They do everything to attack and vilify anybody, everybody that's opposing their communist BS. Congratulations, you're at war. Treat them as badly. In fact, look down upon them for being the trash that they are. Oh Mark, we need to reconcile, really? How are you gonna reconcile with filth? How are you gonna reconcile with detritus, excrement, debris, vomitus? You can't. Oh, put a bigger to nose clip on and we can come halfway. Well, half of death, when they're offering death, half of death I think is still death. Is it dead dead? No, it was just dead and they want you dead. It's like the clean old question about the VA hospitals where you're hearing of all these comments now where it turns out G guys. Let's look at it this way You know the VA guys the government the guy wants would like to drag him out and mow their brains out He'd like to you know, kill him now. You got to remember that these this guy's in the much of the medical arena and and let's not forget that the communist chinese have what were called happy shots where they give you the injection and you're just not with them anymore in the hall and they have been euthanizing older people twenty thousand uh... to a year and they were doing it for all but decade without telling anybody in other words Well, the doctor decided you'd be expensive for their socialized medicine, so they put Grandpa and Grandma over in the bed there and they just give a wink and a nod to their buds in the hospital, and they give you a happy shot and execute you in the hospital. Oh yeah! And of course now, it's only because it would have cost money to keep you alive, or maybe they had to actually do something for you for another one or two years or three years, and well, they could spend that money on their Cayman Island vacations. They could spend that money on a new car. And you know, because government, you know, would give the pat on the, you know, squeeze on the rumpus and the pat on the head for these guys to finish off grandma and grandpa, or finish off mom and dad. so yes you have the same kind of you know queer parasites that gravitate to all of these government positions and the vietnam pit sucking government operation kids accuracy in the characters in it all trust over the picture were created new department to watch the other department so that all the department to talk about the other department so talking about fixing themselves Well, what about the veterans? Oh, they're in that room off to the side. They make up about 2% of the whole operation. Well, aren't you the Veterans Administration? No, we're the bureaucracy. And the VA thing is kind of an aside thing. They have a part-time thing nowadays. The program works in general. So just again, remember, it's not a surprise that these characters are talking about how they want to kill the veterans. And they want to kill, it's 1984. It's all of the, you know, like Brave New World. It's all the above kids. nation and again the idea of multi-generational strength of the family of course they want to get rid of that now many of the people bought into the communist garbage begin with you're out why they're not getting the happy shop for their communist buddies so this is a kind of a long term we told you so also about not trusting these fools to begin with because once you create this attitude well it was okay when they were killing hell Well, now they want to kill Fred, Bill, Jim, and Bob. Well, we were special. They told me we were special. I helped to kill Bob. I helped to kill Fred. Well, we didn't say anything because we're special. Now I need help. You told me I was special. I get the help that they didn't get. Oh no, I said you get the same kind of help. Hold still, till after all. Told you so. And it helped us at all. Anyway, a couple of things going on before we get to the bottom of the hour break. Let's remind everybody again, please, this hour, I haven't done it yet, donate the micro effect, please, send a donation through the snail mail to Joe McNeil, P.O. Box 164, KamiImyIdaho 83536. If you're heading out the door, stop at the desk there, grab an envelope, grab your, go ahead, don't want to take a second. Right on the envelope, Joe McNeil, P.O. Box 164, KamiIIdaho 83536. go with the old hill hill box one six four kami i i can point again of support what you're the program the morning out there to do that your help us out guys this is your supported programming and the many people out there listening to her and pitched in a little the difference we're almost to the bottom of the our break uh... almost to the bottom of my coffee cup top everything else well you know by the way uh... Now does everybody know they're talking about the coffee pocky clips? There's a bunch of things going on in South America. Now that's where a big chunk of our coffee comes from, but it's not the only place. So apparently we're going to be buying more Ethiopian toenail clipping blend, if we can get it. Also Somalian blend and a few others, but right now the latest thing that Maxwell House has come up with as an official part of their line, Pacific blend. kind of new but if you haven't noticed it's on the shelf one of our friends brought this to my attention and one of the reasons and he was just saying hey this is you know a couple of different blends are out there that they're on sale where it's like really South Pacific blend when have you ever heard about that before with any of the what we call the you know like Maxwell well the reason you're gonna see that is because coffee Pocky clips irons were right we're all gonna die the coffees gonna be cut off man well not really but well some of the breeds of beans that you're normally gonna be you know what you normally be sucking on in the morning here is brown you know brew juice well we're not gonna be available so they've turned to other markets Now it's a couple different things that are hitting coffee in South America. Number one, they have a blight, like a fungus is going on too, by what I understand. And so the coffee pocky clips, what it means is coffee is going to go up in price like beef and pork did, guys. Now it doesn't mean that they aren't producing well in other parts of the world. They are. All these other locations could actually make up probably for production, but people will be fighting over the inventories as far as what they bid for that inventory. Because they're gonna want it over here in America. Oh, yeah. Well, at least they think they will. I hear the music. Pretty sure I do. It's real soft in my ear there. Grab the coffee, smell, taste... Oh yeah, little, little put hair on you in the morning, glad. Oh girls, I know, you hair in my chest in the morning, well, anytime is good. As long as it's soft and then cuddly, we're fine. Anyway, we're gonna be back just a little bit here. It is a beautiful Thursday. It has been blue sky for the first hour and a half of this program, and that's kind of rare in Michigan in springtime, so we'll see how this holds out.

You know, you want to check it out, go to YouTube. uh... mostly sci-fi stuff which is kind of cool but uh... and and some of the like world war two moved or black and white stuff but it is a beautiful bursary and i said before blue skies and well you might have to satisfy your need for a bro for the coffee for the brown stuff everything's gotta be deflated as bad as after a walk everything had to be a date how about it's just criminal activity but you know what that shows you when you have like watergate total to date like eight tool gate, you know, floor gate, you know, irrigate, fumigate. Anyway, welder gate. And that's all the psycho-babble condition and it generated through water gate, you know, the scam, which was if we were, if we had to have Richard Nixon step down for what, not with him, this is a trash in the control media right now. Need to go over to Richard Nixon's grave, get down on their knees, kiss the ground and beg him for forgiveness. For as we've got in Washington right now, Richard Nixon's ashamed to the point where it came to go on the piker helley's not even on the field he's not even near their chart he's not he's so far down on the chart he would make anywhere near the top one hundred think about it so anyway just case in point there but anyway smell we are come on like okay now you wait it's You gotta go to work this morning, pay attention to the environment. I understand we had some snow in places, but in the high country that happens we've had cold air out of the north. Guys, this ain't nothing new. I don't want to hear about bubbles or climate change. We get these bubbles in pockets all the time. Hell, we get winter and we get winter on the 4th of July in Michigan here every year in the Upper Peninsula. We get snow every year. Yeah, I'm not exaggerating. I've been sta- I've stood right in the middle of the upper peninsula on the 4th of July and it looked like the Wizard of Oz. In fact, it's bizarre because it's like the sky we have outside right now just came off the upper lakes. The sky we got right now is perfectly clear. There's not a cloud anywhere. It would be just like this and you're looking from horizon to horizon. All of a sudden it's snowing and you're standing there going, what the hell? And it's like big, what we call lake effect snow where it's the size of your thumb, right? And I'm standing there and I was working on a flower bed, right? And I'm standing here, it's one of those things where you look up and you look to the left blue sky, you look to the right blue sky and you go behind, you get blue sky, but then you look straight up and what is it? This one big stinking cloud and it comes right off Lake Superior, straight out of the north and it goes right across the UP. On the 4th of July, all market or no thinking whole-white colleague superior all conditions come together right time every year if you want to look like well unique but it's like no i guess it's normal because it's every year so guys this whole bs wall we're going to get heard about it and talk about it no word like they used to have our license plate the great lake why because we have great lakes around us. Well, they don't want to remind you of that. Hell, they don't even talk about the Great Lakes if they can help but anything. Some people, in fact, put it right out of their mind if they're like in the middle of the state. They're like, I mean, half the time they've been so focused and propagandized and so channeled that they don't even think about it. You're in the middle of five of the largest inland lakes slash seas on the planet. 76% of the fresh potable water available to mankind and we're the gem rock. We're the stone right in the middle of that, guys. Think about it. Anyway, now coffee. Well, here's the thing. The fungi, whatever is coming, and also drought. What's happening is that there are already a price to serve and that's going to roll through the system, through the coffee market and it's going to get you eventually thought it would just went now this is what kind of interesting because we've been kind of joking about coffee or forever in the morning program always we do But it's interesting that, remember, about six, seven years ago and more, you had the exotic coffee market. That was a really big thing, even four years ago, five years ago, three years ago. Depending where you are in the country, some people go, well, Mark, that's still true here. Yeah, but what's interesting is you had a wide range of individuals who were, quote unquote, entrepreneurs who were bringing in these exotic breeds of coffee. Now, if you notice, they weren't that extreme in price. Now, the one thing to consider is being ahead of the wave. One cool thing about coffee, guys, is it's vacuum packed. It's in cans. You can buy it in vacuum packed bricks. I'm going to tell you something about vacuum packed bricks. We did a little experiment. Back in the early 90s, we got a bunch of stuff from Big Lot. Now, these aren't very big bricks. These are a little perfect for, well, you can actually get two pots of coffee out of one brick. Okay? Really so many ounces. But you can stretch it. You can make it work for you. And you will when you're especially not getting coffee anymore down the road because you're Orin, the only coffee you're gonna get is when you take it off the enemy's corpse, right? Well, you can store it for a long time and no problem. What's fascinating is these little vacuum bricks. We've had them for, oh well, over 20 years, guys. And you could open them up right now and we do spot tests and brew it up and you won't know the difference between the coffee that's been in that vacuum-packed brick for 20 years and the coffee you're buying off the shelf right now. I guarantee it. So as far as storage purposes, guys, we've done these experiments of this stuff for years. Rice, rolled-outs, coffee no different. Right now if you can, investing coffee. Now I would watch for something. Ideally you want a full sealed number 10 coffee can if you're going to buy it in bigger cans. Certainly the foil ripper tops work. uh... consider that the full report top along with a little plastic with are not as strong as a solid metal cap so if you can do it that way if you buy it if you can find the cheaper coffees in the regular number ten can with a metal it top metal at bottom that's your first best choice not to mean the others won't work and ideally also you want i'm trying to where the can is feel all the way around now there's coffee cans that are cardboard with a uh... a metallic inner coating to appeal the can And they seem to work okay, along this duration. Well, we've had some of those on the shelf and they don't seem to really be affected initially by storage problems. The big thing is, warning in advance, buy some extra coffee. Oh Mark, you tell us my all kinds of things. Yes, I do, selectively. And right now, just as a common sense thing, watch for the best price, the most for the least, and put coffee on the shelf. Now, the little, the The coffee and the bricks I was talking about, we bought as many of these as we could when they were cheap, cheap, cheap, like 33 cents a piece, these little bricks. And those are barter coffee if all else fails. They're also again great because you only open up what you need. You're not exposing a whole bunch of coffee. So smaller containers, if you can get something for the same price by weight, you know, to the cost per pound, and you can get smaller containers, that would be an intelligent thing for two reasons. Number one, a field industrial uniform container that everybody can recognize kind of like a wine bottle guys yep that's on the issue unopened and it's a it's a chock full of nuts can that's only a one pound can or half pound can your bartering or trading people like to know about uniform weight and measures so the cool thing is when you have smaller things you don't have to give you up something in front of somebody you don't have to open up a container and leave part of what you have left in the container even though you can seal it back up or whatever. Remember, you've compromised the original packaging. So if you can do smaller containers, that's a good thing. If you're looking for trading, bartering, or issuing to people because you need it for service. You're going to be giving it, you forgot you had when it rolled shell-fold down in the dungeon, right? Here's the thing. Right now, we're just looking at the idea that beef prices when we told everybody last year and again Nancy brought this up trying to tell everybody in advance about what was going on in the meat industry. They already told everybody in the meat industry what was going to happen and it did. Well, the coffee industry, just to be safe, I can't tell you how to buy the most expensive coffees you can find. Talking about common sense and that if you want something like this on the shelf and you want to be able to buy other things, well, let's ruin the formula they always play. Because what they do is they jack prices up on commodities so that you have to spend more money and you can't spend money on, you don't have extra money to use or burn. There's a whole math formula, the secret weapons for silent wars. and coffee is a commodity. Coffee is something that, again, is marketed in so many different ways. It's ingrained, pardon the pun, ingrained, ingrained, get it? Oh, coffee grounds, coffee, oh, man. Anyway, it's ingrained into our society. Every country, every population, every civilization, every ethnic group has, just as with their foodstuffs, they also have beverages that are incorporated into the style of the society, the uniqueness of the society. If I say England, what do you first think of in terms of what do you think they'd offer you in the way of a dream? Are they all for us today from Ceylon perhaps? Or many other exotic places that have been part of the Empire, right? We might get Cha from another part of the planet as they would call it, but that's because, well in many cases, that's where the tea comes from. Oh, that's right. And let's not forget where Coco came from. In fact, we don't see it very often, but it's becoming a novelty now to start offering it. We were noticing this the other day. Chocolate with... Oh, that's right, chili peppers! Chocolate with chili peppers? What the hell? Well, chocolate was part of the culture of Central and South America, guys. And so are hot peppers. It's a contrast. Yeah, so think about it and for the society itself based upon the agricultural development and the development of animal husbandry with that civilization combinations now for them it's when you grow up what did you what did you have to drink? Well, oval teen so obviously you've had oval teen for as long as no but both but if we have had certain flavor ranges certain styles to show techniques. In fact, there are whole social customs based upon the indictment of steaming libations. Okay? Think about it. In fact, there is a whole life, even coffee services. A coffee service with most societies is a significant family gift. Think about it. In fact, it is the measure of a household, how fine an offering that can be made to guests guests you typically have a good now today in america you would think about all the fine china as opposed to whatever no when you have guessed the idea is to put forward your best your best friend don't think about it chocolate whatever the society whatever it is if you have a guest or a person who is a a friend or somebody who is coming into your household there was ceremony involved with the guys of course no and everybody old a old everybody's focusing on the far eastern culture because it's exotic Well, remember you have the tea ceremony, which pretty much everybody is familiar with now because it's been harped about and discussed for many, many years. Ceremony is generous. Exactly. And by the way, in our own culture, only because we've been dumbed down by the public pool system, the whole process of the use of a coffee, and the whole idea of how you present to a guest the best of what you have if somebody shows up. See that's why the idea was to demonstrate the metal of a household is for the housewife able to present at a moment's notice if something happens. In many cases this would upset people because in different societies it does. If you come unannounced then they have to make every effort as quickly as possible. They have to be on the fly best that the household offers. That's why sometimes you know again there's two faces that you see. the face of public approval where you appear and they're to put on the best that they have in terms of disposition and the availability. But they might be a little upset behind the scenes, because I didn't know it was coming. I wasn't ready. I mean, seriously, it's like, oh, it's a critical turmoil. Because again, it is considered a dishonor. Properly respect the guest upon being received into a household. So just little things to think about. And all based upon that what? Tell us with a brew that is true. So just a heads up guys, key clips from the corner. We got Don here with us, he's right around the corner. Don, this moose guy down here in our stretch of the state, what's it like up where you are this morning? It's a nice day, cloudy, about three thick white fluffy clouds and a bright sun behind it. Hey, the grass is growing and blowing and it's the point of may. Hooray! I thought I heard a bell. And do we have a caller? Good morning guys. I haven't been able to listen to the shit. It's good to get in touch with you guys. Off of eBay, I do searches and find things that aren't right. But I came across a case for the PR25 and the PRC77-2008. It says that these tests are new and I picked up one case and at that price my assumption is that even if they're battery box and the connectors worth a dollar, he has another case up for bid and it's only up to $15. Now if they'll fit the PRC25 they will fit the 77 also. Yeah that's what it says here. It says it fits both. It's a BA4386. have you got them already have you got them in hand no but i've seen a picture of them and they're not real size battery that is the traditional format battery does remember in about was it uh... seventy nine eighty they came up with a half thick a half thickness compression battery i have talked about this before you can get your kick your twice as many in the battery box uh... very one normally in the battery box but they actually have the fact that you carry a backup battery inside the only is they didn't provide any packing trick on that if there's a small ones and you've got the battery and you get the individual battery here in the box on the ad he's actually selling or a picture he pulled from something else no from one he's actually selling okay very good yeah yeah that is some people just say oh fine one you know on Google I'll do a picture and throw that up there okay well then this is standard battery but the if you get the smaller ones you know just grab the inserts from the 50 caliber cans the foam pad, the impact foam, stick that between the batteries and it'll keep from beating and knocking around. The only thing you can get in the back, if you got a PRC, if you're gonna get one that's a little trick and jum, you wanna hang onto those packing foam slices that come in the 50 caliber cam, they work perfectly in the PRC-77 cam for the radio call holder. W5, or ID 5W, a 43A mop and one other guy that's selling a whole bunch at a very high price. And then an EV? case I bought like nobody was bidding on it, there's only $16.00. A5W22333J86 battery and that's on eBay so if we do a search either way we'll find it. Definitely try it, I typed in the BA40. Well for anybody out there who's got an ANPRC25 or ANPRC77, guys remember these batteries especially the 2008? Nah, that's only six years old, those should be fine. They are bad, the only thing is they might be depleting, they might be reduced or unless they restored badly or they're not wet or anything right? They had no, they got gagged quite anything. They look good. Yeah, unless there's something really weird going on. I mean I've used batteries, granted they drop quick. Once they degrade, usually it's oxidation, you know how it is, and you'll find blistering on the cardboard. You'll be able to spot it pretty quick. Even if it doesn't blister through, you get what looks like a wash point that's coming in from the inside out. and it will create a random pattern of adhesion where the cardboard seems to be permeated with something. It won't bleed or leach through. It will be obvious that you've got a compromised cell. Now, there's a little trick to that. If you're really in an emergency, don't ever throw away your old batteries because as I pointed out, guys, remember, the AMPRC 25, actually the AMPRC 8, 9, and 10, it's a different battery. 25 and 77, those are several batteries in that pack. So just because one cell went bad doesn't mean all the other batteries in that pack are bad. It means that the combined series of batteries that make up and complement and operate the circuits on board the radio aren't complete so the radio can't operate. It doesn't have the power grid in place to make the radio work. So you could actually, X-ACTO knife open the can, the box, And if you had several different batteries, you'll probably find that you have different battery cells going bad because of age. And you could actually desolder and reassemble and put another battery together. Wouldn't be great. Never get rid of the old one. It's not right away. To the box. They were measured in 2000. That's considered optimal performance because nobody wants to drop something from a plane that may have 95% capacity. These magnesium cells, they normally last a while. That's why I... I just doubled the number at least, but I've used BRC-8 batteries. from 1964 and I was buying them in what, 77, you know, 78 and the 64 production batteries were 100%, PRC-89 and 10 and there really isn't anything different with regard to the cells, it's just configuration for the radio. And even with 77 batteries, now there's been a bunch of those that have shown up that were much older, that were showing up down in Don Creek a couple of creeks ago, a couple of shows ago. The guy was selling them for a dollar a piece, but they were tough. were tired, they were dated from the early 80s and even they stated hey they're either for reenactors or they're for you know rebuild if you want to you know use the components. These are much newer so this is actually a pretty good price in general and definitely worth experimenting with. Well even the connectors worth more than a dollar. Oh yes, yeah and that's the one thing we don't get rid of because we can fabricate batteries. I've got the schematics we did this years ago. I've got the schematics for both the 8, 9, 10 batteries in the drawer right behind me and we also did a schematic and a breakdown for building the 25 and 77 batteries because we were running short. So we could build them from scratch with a C battery, you know double A's, D cell and C cell batteries if we needed to. And just for note for anybody out there, the only main difference between the PRC-25 and the 77 is the 25 has a tube RF output and the 77 in solid state. And that's pretty much about the only difference between those radios. Yep. That was just again the step up in terms of solid state development from the middle of Vietnam. And the one cool thing about it, all the parts are interchangeable, everything can be upgraded. It'll take all the upgrades that are laying around. If you can find the encryption pad and the encryption box, Fair Radio had them. If you're gonna buy one of these radios, the encryption box is, used to be hundreds of dollars, I think they're down to like $60 or $70 a piece if you look around. You might even find them on eBay. And if you find the encryption box, that will take a, there is a strap on the leg, Bubble keypad now there's three models the bubble pad is the first Figure walked him through the mist with a flintlock in his hand His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed.
