through the mist with a flintlock. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three cornered hat. Speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution, 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's spent. Your children must attend a school that doesn't educate and your Christian values can't be taught according to the system. 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 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 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. 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 what you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? O sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and eat God-given right, and pray to God, keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true, we are not free. But we have ourselves to blame. For even now as Tyrant trampled 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'd fought to keep, what would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Is this still the land of the free? Afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, this is the first out... the afternoon intelligence report at our current game one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and on and behind the lines in occupied territories west southeast north and south ladies and gentlemen you were listening to us on Liberty to re-radioed up for him gee dot com we're also on a m and f m micro stations a m and f m conventional stations the e b bay stations one of our rebroadcasters and cb has actually up to thirty five years i think it's thirty six but thirty five years if we count this year which just started thirty five years of cb broadcasting not just the intelligence report before the Intel report existed. Patriot broadcasting on the CB networks across Michigan and other locations have been around for a very, very long time and still very much alive and well. Also, UltraNet Hallmark, Golden Spike Technologies east and west of the Mississippi, along with Alaska. Good afternoon to all of our friends out there on the Lower 49. including the great state of Jefferson along with CONUS, the Outline Two states and territories, and the clock is 5.07 PM Eastern Standard Time. it is communications to today is it to do already oh my god does it is the of the key day when government usually government terrorist massage fbi bat faggot attack america like nine eleven when the israelis attacked us on key day when you're all at work because you might take monday off but you better be in there for the other monday you know tuesday so they can cover everybody being at work and whatever the kosher mafia or the government though under the orders of the kosher mafia back against america could be on the two p days thursday or tuesday they could pick and tuesday is the most common but thursday's not out of the question either because you know wednesday might want to take that middle of the week date that that off but they got you one of those p days to get more targets for the money about and that's all the oil boys figured out right from the get-go Anyway, it is the 13th year of open and obvious Fabian socialist and in-your-face Soviet socialist occupation of America with a K 2021 old earth calendar. I'm Kevin Olesch, his guard captain. And 2021 battle for the Republic. the dance of swords and for everybody out there remember footwork shield blade footwork shield blade combination choice is yours but the idea is to take you to a point where you can get a good hit in and start the defeat of the enemy and so that's the whole idea again footwork shield blade time time time remember timing is everything so communications couple things i want to mention you know we were talking yesterday about the use of uh... add-on lenses with uh... cell phone technology for instance which is a cheap quick way to put something together and what i needed to emphasize really as much as anything at the same problem we have with laser microwave and with long-range optics you've got to stabilize whatever you're going to use let's just remind you of that uh... i was fortunate here the other day i check the spot lo and behold they dumped out probably twenty five thirty tripods of every five you can imagine uh... four five approximately that will actually the same model uh... three or four of them were uh... the smaller like the tiny ones which are really great collect something i got to my elbow here right now uh... that are perfect for the kind of project we're talking about here in a moment And then there was lighting tripods, not old, old ones, which I don't have a problem with, you know, the old metal tube as far as like steel from the 50s or 60s. But we're talking modern technology here and a big chunk of change in stabilization platforms for all kinds of equipment. So again, pay attention to what's being tossed out. It's the old stuff. Well, yeah, you know, the light, the stuff is light. And it's really cool, but it still comes down to stability because when you take an optic and you try to see farther out, remember, wherever you're trying, whenever you move it, the eccentric is much greater as you try to acquire a target that's farther and farther out at a greater distance. And when you bring in that magnification, this is where stabilization is especially critical by mentioned laser and also microwave because we have the same problems there you know they make mobile microwave units but you have to have a stability platform and typically it's going to be a uh... uh... tripod that works still best or better than most i guess you do a quad pod uh... also what you know with microwave if you've seen a little microwave unit throughout their the size of a postcard uh... actually joe mcmill used these uh... for a period of time with the help that he had a out west to come down off the mountain wireless years ago and again by using existing dot static telephone poles working to the base you don't want to go real high up in fact that's the only promising go higher but remember every object that has any kind of height typically has real vibrant to move okay And this is part of what affects your targeting and if you're using a smaller system, and I don't care what it is, optics, laser, microwave, again you want the base foundation to be a stable, in fact virtually, thick is your best choice. So one of the things they did with the microwave, little microwave disk, is use existing older large bore telephone poles that were supporting something else and of course that doesn't mean you're going to shoot over the horizon as far as they were going downhill you go around ridges and uh... out outcroppings and things like that but if you work it out right you target accordingly it only took so many jobs and he was able to microwave right down off of the uh... the highest point on the uh... rich they're down to kami i so just a little bit of a cuz that can be done now with optics same problem You have to come up with some kind of stabilization platform. Couple little tricks. There are a number of bike rack mounts for your cell phone. You've seen them. They're cheap actually. They're really cheap. You can get right, some of them you can get for nothing right now because models change. And you know phones change too. So the cool thing is if you're looking for hardware to make a surveillance piece of equipment up, you need to be able to go from whatever your phone fixture to a mechanical structure that's going to hold the unit, hold your phone, or whatever your optical technology is, it has that fantastic telephoto lens attached to it. More on that in a minute. But then you want to be able to take that fixture and you need to adapt it, which typically are 1,220 base screws, although there's a couple of other compression and scabbard fittings that are on many of the tripods. I would say three of the ones I picked up all had the later like into the 80s, 90s scabbard type, which, you know, it's a mix. They're both are popular. And it means that you have another fixture attached to the, forgive me, the camera back in the day. And it just slides into place and you have four points of contact for friction. They're beveled. And so when you slide in and you just turn a knob, it locks everything right into place. Now, if you have something like that, a tripod that you want to use, just you have to make up a fixture that you can put on the bottom of that cell phone hanger. actually holder and then what you do is slide that into place and again thicker heavier is better not thinner and lighter you don't need thinner and lighter where you'll get your going to have for instance you may have a bike wraparound fixture that goes on the bottom of that thing because it's usually on the handlebars a lot of people use the cell phones kind of like a go phone like a go camera you've seen that many many many times even make those for helmets And many of those have the wide scabbard type system that you see with night vision. So you take the same piece of equipment, make a base for it so it adapts to whatever tripod you've got. And congratulations, you have a very stable base. You can anchor it well. It's three points of control. You shove it into the ground, make sure it's near, work it in. And remember, the nice thing about commercial tripods is they have, you have coaxial option, you know, a 360 degree traverse, plus you have elevation and depression. So the neat thing is, is that if you're not quite perfect, understand that you can adjust if you want to square away if you're here like me you like a nice you know uniform you know i can intelligent well-cropped image and you want it or you know the horizon to the horizon with the camera line then you can fully adjust that with these old old tripods now the neat thing is is a bunch of tiny ones that's one of the things i've i'd i picked up a bunch of i would say like i said three of the all the public about a one-foot leg but they're the type you've probably seen with the fully adjustable to talk about versatility they have these bendable adjustable legs which have individual links in each of each leg is each leg link is about what maybe an inch and they're usually dollops heart there's all kinds of goofy stuff they've done does make any difference the big thing is that instead of having that variable degree adjustment you can take the legs and adjust them drop that into whatever you want to on a fan bag on a little dirt bar on the edge of a little ridge whatever you're going to do even for wrapping it around a tree because those little legs will wrap you can use that no longer to a fallen sideways or something drop it on that anchor it and then adjust your camera take your hands away and observe Remember, any contact with a piece of equipment, as you know, if you're playing with any of this technology, creates weeb-a-wobble. And our mission is to eliminate weeb-a-wobble. Now, another thing is also bumpering up the equipment. What do I mean by that? Well, it doesn't cost very much if you get one of those really cool fixtures to get some rubber BBBuggy bumper material, uh, gluon, for instance, door seal. And around the outside, make a point, wherever you don't have to disconnect or separate something, add some of that rubber baby bugging bumper material, quarter inch, or half an inch, if it's real soft foam, you can go whatever thickness it is, but it's not very, typically not very thick, it's usually anywhere from a quarter to three eighths to maybe half an inch. Okay, not a problem, that works. but that is a plus because remember you you put this piece of equipment together and now you've got a piece of technology you need to kind of protect and if you look at how government does things you'll notice they already figured this out a long time ago because the radio geeks of the communications on the tech geeks have already explained to them about the need for armoring at the equipment not only armoring the equipment but let's remind you about something else to once you make this neat little piece of gear you go out find yourself an armored camera bag They're cheap. You throw away. I get, I get another thing I got was probably in this latest clutch. I probably got seven little bags, each one of them heavily padded with individual pockets. Ideal for the kind of camera fixture slash phone fixture we're talking about making. We can slide the whole thing into the bag and it's actually got some protection from being bumped in that way. But full-size camera bags with variable velcro inside walls the whole nine yards all this stuff This old tech is cheap right now grab all of it you can If you had to go on my it and they gave it another name you get gouged through the throat for this stuff all the garbage coming out of China is going through the roof Price-wise and your dollar is being devalued Grab whatever you can that somebody else is throwing away like that because you can't afford to buy it You really can't. Why? I mean, not enough with full price. Go out there, find all of these other sources. Resale shops, places where they're tossing stuff out the back end of stores, there's all kinds of stuff like that goes on. In addition, yes, another thing you can also get an armored container for putting everything in for transporting vehicles. And you want to know one of the cheapest, easiest ways to do that. Here's another thing you find everywhere. Ice coolers. Well, they are armored, aren't they? And they have a pretty good dog lid on them, don't they? And so if you've got a bunch of stealth tech or special tech, and especially since, again, do you have a fortune to replace all this stuff with? Now if you think that I'm going excessive on this, you've never seen how combat equipment is actually packed for infantry use. In fact, one of the guys that's probably listening out there, he was a dragon operator. You know, remember the dragon, medium-manny tank, wire guided, any tank, shoulder fired system? Have you ever seen the luggage for that? And that's what it is, it's luggage. Have you ever seen how that weapon system is actually packed for deployment in the field? Go talk to somebody and they'll tell you about it. And by the way, it's because, well, things bounce and if they break, then all that garbage you carried is pretty much worthless. So, the other thing here real quick, yeah, I know somebody's mentioning, well, Mark, go! Those coolers are blue and red. Well, guess what? Here's what's really neat. Go over to the hardware. Go over to, you know, let's see, Home Depot or Lao Zee's or over to Maynard's. And they got a paint department. And in the paint department, they have these new paints that are really cool. They were built for doing, like, outdoor plastic furniture. And you know what's really cool? They're in tactical colors! And they're flat! They're subdue- they're not super shiny! In fact, even if they're a little shiny, who cares? See that red? All gets covered with green and gray. Or brown. Or whatever color. Float your boat and suit your area of operation. See all this plastic stuff. Remember, paint is a miracle. It's a miracle! Won't have it later, by the way. That's one of those things. You ever thought about that? Where are you going to get paint from down the road? If you don't start painting, just painting stuff the basic colors you want, let me ask you, who do you think is going to be making paint down the road? That's just one of the many things that nobody ever wraps your printer, well, I'm just going to paint another, really? Where are you going to get the paint from? Between the eco-freaks and all the other stuff that's been going on, just that one little fingernail area of interest for you, it just isn't going to be available, which is why you better know how to use natural stains such as walnut husks and things of that nature. There's all kinds of stuff out there that will make us subdued or will actually stick to more things than you can imagine. It's amazing. And it's the nature of how it actually scores or etches even metal. It has a limited acid or it has a limited base. What it does when it makes contact with the metal, the pigment, which is nothing more than debris from whatever the material is, And we got somebody who's dying there, fell off the chair, rolled sideways. Hit the ground. No, that was me, Mark. Are you dead yet? No, I had to shut my sliding glass door, and I got the fire engines going off. And if I don't do that, my dog will start howling. Oh, well, we can handle the dog. That's OK. Oh, listen. Anyway, hold on. Hold on for just a second. One more real quick here. On that with the paint. That's why I grabbed the subdued paints, why you can't. Go ahead. OK, remember I called last week, and I told you that I had bought a Turner super sidekick desk mic and when I got it I was gonna get some pictures I put it up on the discord if you want to go Take a look at I've got some questions You might be able to get up there We'll see what happens if the machine will cooperate today because I have to look my system does not work with our discord very well But let me try it and see go ahead. I'll go ahead anyway keep on okay, so I got the mic in the mail and I plugged it in and what happens is when I plugged it in, I decided to plug it in without a battery in it. And what happened was, I've got a Galaxy 2527, so it goes from 26 to 32. And what happened is, it's a four pin mic, the turner does what it's wired for, it's four pin. I've got it going into a four pin to six pin converter. As soon as I got it plugged in, the channels are going up. Now, if you look at the picture of the mic, you can see, and this is the reason I bought it, because the guy modified it to have up and down channel buttons right there next to the push to talk. Were you able to bring up the picture? No, I'm working it right now. Just keep talking. That's okay. Go right ahead. Okay. So anyway, as soon as I plug it in to the... the four pin outlet, the channels are going up. And as soon as I pull it out with the radio still on, the channels are not going up. So the channels are stable. So I plugged it back in again and the channels are going up. I pushed the up and down buttons and that doesn't make any difference. So I took the plate off and I looked and you can see where he put some buttons in there and soldered it to some wires. I'm assuming, depending on how long ago he did this, that maybe just the buttons are stuck on the inside and they just need to be changed out. Well, they may not need to be, may not have to change them. How are the buttons set up? What are they? Are they plastic pins? Like a tab pin where you have, well, hold on, let me get the picture up here first and see what you got. Yeah, that'll show you, it shows you the front side of the mic and then it shows you the back side with the plate taken off and the electronics exposed. Yeah, one of the things that, remember, you may not have to change them out, but you may have to disassemble them. Now, that's sometimes not fun, and most of them don't lend themselves to maintenance like that, but you've got the right idea. What typically happens is the barrel or the plunger, whatever it is, is made of minimal metal, and it's not that it's rusted really bad. It doesn't take much oxidation for it to stick. uh... a okay how it is it's a minimal model binding first of all most commonly is that the springs recovery springs be they leave tight for if they're coil have a tendency to go get tired that the part that usually is the weak point on on everything in terms of older style switches uh... what happens is two things either a oxidation breakdown all the surface and you get a little bit of adhesion and sometimes even a little enough to make it so it sticks together in other words you barely could see it and when you touch it and you finally move it right it'll break the adhesion so what you want to do if you get in there if we can get in there we'll see what happens is this is where you get hold of some decent very very fine penetrating oil you don't spray it you take a Q-tip and you clean off all of the metal surfaces using a Q-tip and first of all you apply the lubricant very very very lightly and then you take a clean Q-tip and you brush the device to see what it does and this is only on the metal parts although it typically won't hurt any of the phenolic plastic or any of the plastics or anything in fact I'd be recommending if you can get hold of gibs and you should order some gibs We've used it for years. It's good with everything electronics wood metal plastics, whatever doesn't hurt any of them, but what's really nice is that it doesn't look like The kind of button you can take apart. I'm not for sure I haven't gone around and monkeyed with the backside of this I don't know if it's all soldered together and in cased housing I went to go look on Facebook and I was going to post them on your Facebook, but I don't think that I think they took your Facebook down. My Facebook's gone, but I'm over on Wimpkin and also on Spreelie. I actually haven't even bothered to fight about it. You could appeal. It's like, yeah, piss on it. You know, number one, it's obvious they're just trying to see how much of your time they can waste some purple haired guppy. It doesn't like all of us anyway. So Wimpkin and Spreelie actually do both. They're free. You don't have to stay there. but wimpkin and spreely s p r e e l y and i think we're also on died or uncut a couple of others but wimpkin is is uh... little guy and is basically where face book originally was so wimpkin is something everybody should be going over to if at all possible we should be supporting donate some money to the guy given five dollars ten dollars i'm a commodity it's been free but it's like you know the guy can't do this on his own without help do you have a you know i can just shoot it to real quick you can do it to liberty profile dot net liberty and with the miss real quick that's okay they'll be good and what one of the things about this is it not matters other consideration you have a four-pin to a six-pin adapter for the the male female Okay, now here's the other consideration because that's a modification. And it's not, we're going to start from the switch end anyway because usually that's the easiest fix. But the other consideration is, depending on how that interfaces when it's sending the command, that if it went from four down to you're going, how low capable, maybe back up here. The actual mic that you're using has four pins or does it have six pins? The actual mic I'm using is wired for 4-pin. Okay, so it's going 4-pin into a 6-pin station, right? Correct. Okay, good. That's all I needed because if it was the other way around, then obviously that means that from the mic there is two other sending lines, and that might be the problem. In this case, obviously he had worked that out. Did he say what he had this thing hooked up to, what he originally had the microphone hooked up to? Well, the thing is that the person that I bought it from on eBay told me they got it from an estate. So typically what happened is he died first, the wife had the estate sale or the kids had the estate sale. So, and the person didn't know anything about the mic. So I'm dealing with something, guys passed on and now I'm just trying to get help from, you know, people who turner mic, death mic mods are not common. I've seen it only twice. and um... i just don't know if you got that email you have a listen to you already i'm working on it right now actually given a second to pick up because you know it is with the world today uh... matter for a real almost there as it is one of the things uh... again to go through is yet you could do this without taking it apart is not going to map anything up but you can use a very very small amount of lubricant like i said just a touch uh... on any surfaces that you do see where it will especially if it's penetrating oil because we will do it will work down into wherever something else might be restricted in some way the first is most common that there's some kind of recovery small tiny recovery spring in the very cheap which and if either that or there's also a couple of little like no fish hook uh... tabs retainers that walk into place and you've seen probably when you take a ballpoint pentapart kinda like that idea what happens is that little cheapy spring piece of plastic or that retainer clip uh... popular broken and that's all he wrote for that for that what happens is it that's arrest to whatever you know, with the lab position. Well, when you push the buttons, they, you know, they go up and down because of some kind of spring on the inside. So you can feel that the spring still works. I'm just wondering if what's going on on the inside of the button, if that's not, if it's stuck in the contactors. Right, well, if the connector's, yeah, that's the connector's what I'm talking about. And then still, actually, there's, since these are such fine parts, the thing is, it only takes a very small amount of oxidation to block or to link something, you know, to bridge something. But I'm just saying that's the quickest, easiest way to try to test what's going on. Hold on here, I'm actually halfway there now. Okay, come on, let's get over here. Well, it used to be, now that's the thing, you may not have seen many, but there used to be a lot of different companies that were smaller and independent that did this kind of, that built actual bridge controls like this for you know one hand operation or you know and free so to speak and so that a dial up on the machine uh... it the same idea what over into trucks used to be in fact i know you can still get him to go to the truck stop you'll see them uh... hand mike to do exactly what we're talking about now typically again the uh... you have got the pictures here you know it looks like uh... okay there's the actually have the same mike and the exact same mike my two of them uh... and this guy used a lot like he reported from your war the paid off report you know we're basically yeah all the time at the long time user uh... maybe look at the front to the two buttons that are not uh... or or or or or actually i would take a look at this good they're not there they are bob not secured see how that works Correct, yes. Okay, so what I would do before you go too far, it's not really a complicated process, is I would just, first of all, obviously make sure it's unplugged, you know that. Looks like you already had the back off, right? Yeah, you can see at the top. And I'm looking at the back next. Okay, hold on here, come on, bigger picture. You can see at the top where there's a piece of black plastic, that's the push to talk part on the opposite side. So right under to that those two pieces right there that are red and then you've got a blue Piece at the top. Yep. I know the other consideration and it's not likely is that looks like it could be a capacitor that's well as well that that's soldered into place, but I would look more first what I would do is Back off both once we actually do one at a time that we're not going to be probably thing dangling around Take him back one off and experiment with the switch to see if it disassembles from the front, which it should. And if it does, and I'm looking right at this, in fact AVX-IMFM, what I would do is first go through the inside, look at the barrel, because this is a push type, so that there's a barrel there with a small strike on the bottom, there may be two of them, they're folded inward. That's where your failure usually is, where either A, they're there, and it can happen the stuff is so if not it's not chance but it's a light weight like gauge that you know if you press down one time you can distort things internally And it's because it automatically starts going up, right? And now here's another question. Wait a minute, before I didn't ask that. When you hit the other switch, does it back down? Does it go back the other way? No, it does not. It does not. As soon as I plug it into the radio, the channels start going up. Yeah, then that switch, well the up switch I assume is the top one. So the first one that I would take apart is that one. sure yeah and that would be a look at because there is a again there's also a capacitor that was attached uh... just be careful when you take it apart looks like a double-gink on the bothering their ideal of a little puddle but uh... take that apart and then if you can't i go back to the picture hold up These kind of fixes are actually, it's just like when you're doing finished work and steel. Everything is lapping, everything is very patient, slow and low. And in this case, like I said, if you'd, I would take the top switch and that should be the up, I would back that out, then take a look at it, take a look at it, when you flip it over, once you get that nut off, back out. Then you can take a look at the fixture internally and first of all, get some air right there, get a can of air. but he was in a crowd built up it looks like this is a working man's piece of equipment which means that wherever he had it uh... it's seen a lot of you know obvious field use you know for bearable on period of time so they could be all any kind of gun conjunct in there that the first role but if you're lucky it's a quick fix and just dirt just product but uh... ok and especially like i said look at the finish of the thing he used that mike I would judge the guy who was a very, very, very active operator because of the way it looks. It might have even been at a work site. You know why? Because again, that kind of wear, that's a lot of wear to wear the paint off. You've got to be doing it here. You're working on that one. So that in and of itself tells me this was a workhorse microphone. It was some place where it truly was used with a mission. A lot of places like mines, mines either used VHF mine radios or they use CBs. And then later on, I mean nowadays they probably use FRS, I haven't really paid attention, or they're using still VHF and UHF because it's cleaner, okay? But think about it, it's in a mine, where's the signal going? It's in a hole, okay? Usually excavation type mines, you know, you have quarries, quarry work, that kind of thing. Truck yards, this guy could have been in a truck yard. okay that's another one where you'd feel a lot of handwork like this and it's also relatively dusty dirty environment so that's where every once in a while you got to maintenance on the equipment step one let's see about that which before i do anything worry about anything else downrange that would be the beginning and it's really good the way the way they built this he was thinking he didn't crunch it up in a place where it's gonna be hard to get to that sometimes a problem with the way people design things they don't think about coming out you know fix it later and in this case it looks like we got somebody actually thought the process through and it's very easy to get to from the end inside you know in borj side why you're there are just take a look at everything else looks like everything is relatively clean uh... cheapy battery solution you know they don't mind bolts over it dollar tree if you need a couple for the power up but uh... the other consideration there is some down the road is rechargeables. I mean just have a rechargeable for 9 volt off to the side and that way you keep switching them out. Well the volume knob seems to turn all right. The lock for the PTT works all right and the push to talk you can see on the back straight it's it's actuated with spring steel so there's no play in it nothing it operates fine. No they're very simple they're very user friendly. The thing is these when they were built back in the early 70s they were built the last all this stuff was built the last so that's why we do that. In fact they even make if you go to some of the Oh, what is it? Electric shed. There's a couple different companies. They even sell like, for instance, the paddle, you know, if you have a problem with the braking, you can still get those paddles brand new in the wrapper, old inventory. Well, I know if you go on eBay, you can get the decal right there. It says Turner Super Sidekick. It's just worn really well on this one. If I wanted to, if I wanted to take the whole thing apart, and then repainted some kind of like retro green and then put a new decal on it. That'd be pretty slick. But I'm just mainly, the only reason I wanted to turn the desk mic and then one day I saw somebody put one up there with the channel up and down buttons and I put a bit and I got outfitted but then I saw someone put this up on Saturday or last week sometime as a buy it now. and I bought it immediately. I mean, it was there for like 20 minutes and I bought it. So one of the other things real quick on these two, remember if you get any of the ham fest, there's usually if you'll check the parts boxes under the table the guy has, you can find a lot of additional, you know, parts, pieces and assemblies that way too, including even whole mics that are, you know, derelict. If you want to build a... Well, remember we had that conversation... Well you know you've got something to model it after. Most times everybody's trying to work in the dark, but once you have a fully functional piece of equipment, it's easier for you to compare. And for instance, one of the most common next things you'll have a problem with is that 9 volt power plug. Only because they get tired over a period of time. So it's not a big deal because everybody sells those and you can buy even an older model that's even heavier built. They're not a big deal, but they are something that the plug itself because every time you try to take it off those little snaps are resistant so it's one of those worky movie things you know anything where you have a certain amount of resistance and it's made with lighter materials that's where you know you're going to see some of the failures and again the switches are like that of the other thing is like that variable rheostat the volume you know volume control whatever you got there That's another one where once in a while they start to get dusted up. That one looks like it's a well-sealed unit. Not all of them are built the same way. So I don't see that being a problem right away either. But if there is anything, it's again, what was the moisture level, wherever the thing was used. And it doesn't look like this thing was then that wetted environment or damp because usually you can see, like you've got this is a very clean digital picture. Overall when I evaluate stuff when you look at it you're looking for oxidation points around the screw points around the base of the body there Body is very clean. So this thing was in a good situation. It was just work. Yeah, so that's a good buy. I'm gonna say he's probably just a retired truck driver turned into a Ratchet jaw. Yeah, he became a home geek, which is a good thing. We need more of that. We need more of that right now. This is the CB Radio Net. Guys, they are scared shitless. That is the only way to describe it. With everybody I've talked to in radio, they are terrified that all of you will go to no middleman radio. Seriously, you gotta do everybody, get everybody, you can't just like the guns. If everybody goes, you need guns, you need radios, you need food. they're terrified because they can't stop it you've there i've always told everybody and everybody hates me when i say it eventually you will be jammed okay you're going to get you know i have people man we did the knob creek resolution okay that was a communications meeting we were not there specifically because of what was happening up in montana with the freemen but we do would come up with a subject however the reason for the meeting with like five hundred fifty different malicious from all over the country there of because of communications and when you tell somebody you are going to be jammed or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or or and everything they have at their disposal they are going to turn on expect that it's not that you panic or were not playing don't do things because god this is a big country you got forty eight lower and to outlying in the territories and inside this country this is a big ass country and with all the radio tech that we could pull off right now and and light up we would she we we would surpass anything they could possibly attempt to shut down and if they did it be so stinking obviously be another reason to shoot their ass See, that's the part they don't want anybody to think about. Well, wait a minute. Everything we do, no matter what it is, look, we go to the stock market, they attack you for going to the stock market. You want to talk amongst your own people rather than with all the purple-haired guppies slash freaks slash pedos? Well, we'll shut you down. Look what happened to Parlor. So everything revolves around where they could walk in and hit a switch, but what's the key to this? The middleman. Guys, we gotta get rid of the middleman. Now that means building our own. And that's the other part about this that we've been talking about, even with, you know, the internet. You know, Parler is rebuilding, so to speak. What Parler is doing is they're going and finding, you know, a base that is, you know, a little guy that isn't owned by all the other guys, and he's going to make those little guys big guys real quick if they're all smart. They can become rich, just like all the big guys are. Why? Because when you have half the country that's interested in your market, only an idiot or a fool would be dragging their feet on that right now. my god i'd be i'd would be spending the money on hardware and and setting the system up as quickly as i could and i take every part of that market you could from the idiot who kicked it out the door nobody thinking that business-wise And it's the same with radio communications. Guys, we get radio communications up. You want to see how they get pissy about how they're pissy right now. You want to know what's going to happen? Oh, look! Oh, look! We decided to be decent! Look, we're going to come back! Look, guys, come back! Come back! And you know what? You should have been learned and you got burned, so you don't go back to that. you know that work does anyway colorado but we were jump out a few of the things who were top of the order now is going to remind you when you were saying that uh... you know, go to the ham fest and look for the additional parts for the mics, but remember I was going to say that they don't have the ham fest anymore. They canceled the one down in Orlando and they canceled the one up in Dayton. Well, the big ones, what you want to do is look to see who has any of the smaller or other states. Even if you've got to drive a little bit, the big thing is if you do go to any of them, try to get there when they open up first thing, you know how that works. when they first opened up it's like gun shows uh... that you're the same way when we set up a gun show guys their stuff you never saw that showed up at that gun show because the dealers say what what what i've always been looking for and they grab it will the famous true with the with hamfest but once they open the door of the stuff that their first thing that that one which you're looking for might be sitting right there where you need to get to it so even though your state might have canceled not all of them have and the big thing is to get to them go in there with a mission a list and when you come out you're happy now i should be doing this more often actually and i've got a couple of places matter of fact that we're talking about emails uh... there were a couple of uh... announcement here from couple of different suppliers on the cving dig about what i have to do it during the break but there are always sales going on in electronics and they remember that especially with electronics and medical there's always weird stuff that they pick up that doesn't have much to do with electronics but there's a use for it however it would be very useful for our militia people because it's surplus or industrial surplus that has other applications separate from electronics mechanical mechanical world rolls over into electronics electronics rollover into other parts of the mechanical world you never know always go through the weird sections were it was miscellaneous uh... i did the hundreds of m seventeen out search for the all the other second lens for the gas mask out of four twenty five centipede free shipping they had problems of all the probably got with some other pilot stuff they bought from the government and they had to take them and over in the middle of any affection was a we need to move these so i bought hundreds of them for quarter quarter of that brand new in the rapper best price i've had decades couldn't pass it up so you always want to check these companies out when you do run into a man find out what helps they have on the shelf another thing is rajan kinda like we were talking about here a moment ago with the switches and such What's really great is if it's in many cases the hardware store fix is typically what everybody goes to. Even if you're in the kind of work we're talking about here with more refined pieces of equipment because in many cases you're just interested in being a robust switch, a robust connector, and you also, my attitude is build it like over-engineer and build it like a brick doghouse. Why? Well, I've been talking about this guy, busting it and breaking it. Okay, or what we've seen, example, we know where all the wear points are and a lot of this equipment, what it is it usually fractures or separates for whatever reason. So what you can do is reinforce it or at least actually pre-code it so that when the original material breaks down, you don't lose the insular quality. Example, there's all kinds of add-on. liquid uh... sheavings that you can buy for electronics well when you have blogs especially like we have these uh... f m radio sets we've used for decades okay well wherever the wire goes through the body of the whole the body of the whole was not softened by reaming it out so that they didn't have any sharp edges guaranteed the wire rubs there enough you just a little bit of use for this you put it back in the box like ninety nine percent of people do you would notice this But when you use it a lot like we have tactically deployed for both training and combat operations and standoffs, these are all things that we do with all of the piece of equipment we get because we know it's the where point and we don't want to buy another one right away. So what you do is you actually goop up and pre-cover. You can also wrap it with tape, of course, is going to make it a little more rigid, so that's nice. But remember, it might also roll on the edges, start to get sticky, catches on stuff, creates a mess, that kind of thing. So there's other, a little higher tech, or at least, you know, unique technologies that are in the electronic world that are very handy for fixing these problems before they become problems. It's kind of like stitching the corners on your pockets, on your uniforms when you get them brand new. Okay, why? Because we know where they come apart and then once they come apart the stitching just keeps right on rolling. So what do you do? Pre-stitch, restitch all of the brand new pockets and all the flaps on all those uniforms when you get them. And that way once you start using them, they don't just pull apart and then somewhere on the field you got half of something hanging there or something that's not working away supposed to and it becomes a snag tag and a nuisance. and so i'm not the lessons yeah we've got a couple of it is to exactly what about you know what that he's uniform for the longest time i'll tell you was really a group is the they've made the knee patches on all these beauty uniforms but they intentionally even on the d o d contract had a tendency to roll off on either side of the patch start to you know rollover you know start to fall up will expect that everything So before you go any farther, like I said, take a look at it. You got somebody who runs a sewing machine, hey, have them do the thing around on all those parts. The same is true with electronics with certain items either A, well, not just either. It should be both eventually. If you have microphones, buy a backup. First you usually get your primary. Of course, whatever you have that came with the equipment, never throw that away. Have that hanging right there. Put it on a hanger. if you're in the middle of something and something malfunctions the idea is you are quite a bit you don't get frustrated you think you unplugged you reintroduce the older or the other replacement quickly and you continue with the mission and replacements of the pairs directly on hand uh... example and i i've meet somebody that we actually should show some of the stuff of the putting up recently here uh... and we probably are going to do some still photos will actually post them but the idea is that you actually have the like the big spare keyboard should be hanging right there sitting right underneath the tray for the other keyboard so happens you pull it out some happens where something malfunctions because we're in a battlefield situation now you're going to need to proceed well prior proper planning prevents piss poor performance so you need in order for you to proceed you need to have those pairs directly on hand ready to roll If you have a Radio Shack, the Radio Shack should be the area of operation where you are working. Everything should be clear. All other debris, other working items should be separate and away from it. Your workshop is one area, your broadcast is another. And everything should be ready to go. Another thing, notepads and pens and pencils on hand. Low tech, but it's still best tech because it works every time. In fact, pencils do work every time. Just have a big pile of them sharpened up. frustrated congratulations there's another pencil simple stuff but it's where you pile it up the actually have redundancy in advance and that way you focusing on the mission not not not the uh... technology that support that you know it's not distracting you and i hope that i know for a fact that this radio the channel collector And this happens like after a few years of use on the channel then the echo goes out from the stock echo which I don't use that much but You know if we're gonna get into a situation where you're using your CB radio 12 15 hours a day You know where someone is an operator and they're gonna have to do that And if everything is you know you can't move from your position where you're at you're gonna have to have stuff that you know What they say is it's only got so many clicks and the contact points wear out. If you don't have, you're gonna have to have either backups to the switches or backups to the radio. I've got three base station radios and the Galaxy is my primary one. I've got two smaller voice ones. I like the Galaxy because it has, you know, it goes from 26 to 32, whereas the two voice radios only have 23 channels, which isn't bad, it's better than nothing. But, you know, I'm pretty sure I'm probably gonna wear this Galaxy out. You know within six to eight months something's gonna go wrong with it and instead of trying to monkey with it I've got seamless operation on CB All I got to do is just unplug the PL 259 and plug the next one in exactly You know how it should be ready to go in fact you can even buy now. That's the other next thing I mean although again. It's just more plumbing so it's easier really and safer to actually disconnect But you can get a splitter, you can get a junction box that allows you to actually just switch from one to the next. The only thing about that is, and again remember, when the time comes and the adrenaline rush is kind of high, you can make a mistake thinking that you've done one thing, when in reality you haven't. So the nice thing about the idea of disconnecting and switching the rig over mechanically, just make sure you have access so you can reach the controls. Whatever it is, you have to disconnect or reconnect. Allow yourself access behind the equipment so it doesn't require any significant motion. And that way you disconnect, reapply, and you know physically it's been done. But as long as you're good with it and you're focused, remember one of the neat things is usually you have an LED or a light bulb light up with your switcher, that'll shift your leg, you're on which machine you're on. So that's not a problem, but just make sure those are maintained. Because I mean if it's a little you can switch out from from say bulb to LED, but the bulbs last a long time and This is just part of the many. It's like in an airplane you have a light indicator Confirmation system you mechanically do it But you can physically see that there's a response from the system which is part and that's how it should be with all your equipment You should try to set it up that way so that you will get there physical confirmation I know for a fact that the channel up and down selector is not going to work on the Royce CB. This is like an i620 I think and I've got two of them. And it's just, it's basically that the channel selector is a knob, just like an old TV and it, you know, it manually analog switches. There's no digital about it. So the up and down selector is not going to change the channel, but if you only got 23 channels, you're not going to have to move around too much. So. But it's a good, strong radio. Actually, remember, here's another thing. Thank you for bringing it up. Because several people have asked me, well, what about 23 channel radios? Understand that when we got the 40 channels, when we got to 40. What they did, because CB had become so big, the FCC and the federal government wanted to tone down radio because we could talk halfway across the country with some of the stuff that was built or all the way. And so what the first thing they want, they demanded is that the standard for the output for all transceivers coming out of the factory would be automatically reduced in power. That was the negotiating factor in adding the additional frequencies to the CB channels. And remember, 23 and 24 are not side by side. There's another thing to remember, guys, if you actually were to do a frequency count, They're numbered, but if you look, you'll find that there is a significant jump from channel 23 to channel 24. And the reason is they gave them the dirty frequency. They slid up the dial because as you go move up, if you were to look at the actual where we should be step by step in frequency from say channel one to channel 23 and then say 24, 25, 26, had they gone to where they should have logically Those particular frequencies, 24 and up, if they had been in the original battery of the radio spectrum, would be cleaner channels than 1 through 23. They'd actually been harder. They'd have been clearer, harder, less interference. They intentionally went up the dial farther and picked dirty frequencies to frustrate operators. So two things happened. Number one, the twenty three channel radios became very much the preferred for a lot of work because right out of the box if you added the final corrections you know we did all the tweaks you could be without without having to do any linear you had a pretty good box to talk quite a distance even after the forty channel radios came out the twenty threes were very very much in demand especially the ones that were brand one of the box at a no head everything available to tweak So the 23s that you have are actually a stronger out of the box radio and make a good little sub grid or say a sub system that you can put on ridge to ridge. You know maybe farther apart without all the excess baggage of say an additional linear and all the other things that people are used to to get greater range with CB. and it was especially necessary. In fact, we'll say this, once they added the additional frequencies and they did that to CBs, they cut their own tendons because instead of people going, oh man, my radio doesn't work, everybody went out and started buying what you all are familiar with now, linear amplifiers. In fact, that's why a lot of the smaller linear amplifiers start to show up rather than the big boys, the 23 channel period window, saw 50, 150, 200, 300, 500 watt linear amplifiers. The 25 watt and 50 watters that you see were more dominantly built when they switched over to the larger number of frequencies because a lot of people just wanted to get more, you know, more off than they were getting out of the box and they couldn't tweak it. They didn't want to talk to Bolivia, they just wanted to be able to talk to, you know, Northern Ohio from the middle of Michigan and clean. And so that's why you see this surfiot of 25 watt and 35 watt and 50 watt linear amplifiers kind of laying around all over the place. They're still strong. I mean, one thing, remember, we're dealing with AM long bands. So they, at night, especially guys, it's just like AM radio, you can talk to the planet with a very simple radio. The propagation is so much better, obviously, after the sun, you know, we eliminate the solar interference, you know, and it's beyond the horizon. Anyway, just an idea there, that 23 is a darn good little radio. Well, let me tell you something. The two Royces that I bought, I got these a few years ago, and they were $20 with free shipping. Now, if you go on eBay and you try to find a CB radio base station, you know, You can find it, but you know that you're looking around 80 to 100 bucks with shipping plus shipping maybe so Everybody is looking at what we're talking about We need to talk to this hard guy. Let's all close here for the moment and take a break. God bless the Republic. We shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire is on the run We are in mode. We'll see you next. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat. Speaking low to me, he said, we fought a revolution. 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. 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 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 trade it 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. 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 what you will 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 in each God-given right. And pray to God to keep the torture freedom burning bright. As I awoke he'd vanished in the mist from whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled, each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a 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? Is this still the land of the free? afternoon ladies and gentlemen this is the second hour of the afternoon intelligence report i'm our party one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters on and behind the lines in occupied territories southwest east northeast and uh... south ladies and gentlemen you're listening to us re-treat radio dot for m g dot com liberty tree radio on the satellite to numerous to mention the role we all are but appreciate all the different rebroadcasters that we do have not just in the united states but overseas which i think is rather interesting people are picking up the feed better other countries and they're shooting this where it's going on the planet so we want to thank you enough of the other side can do much about that uh... anyway uh... we're also on a m f m micro stations they would have been conventional stations he be based patients and all pro net hallmark and golden spike technologies east and west of the mississippi along with the last cut good afternoon twelve or friends out there lower forty nine including the great state of chefferson along with kola c l i'm two states territories and the clock it is 608 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, second hour. It is Tuesday, Communications Tuesday, and it is the 9th of February. It is the 13th year of open Fabian, the socialist, and the Soviet occupation of America with a K, the bottom-feeding filth, along with the red guard of criminals. We told you they would do. The militia and the Patriot movement have been 100 percent correct. This is 2021, Old Earth Calendar, 2021, battle for the republic. the dance of sorts and it is still bright outside in fact uh... the days are taken away right now it is clear and it is bright i can still see what's going on uh... quite quite readily without modification here with my vision or returning on the like to look pretty decent overhead and there were given the other direction still water outside we got snow Fluffy snow just enough to run out of the snowmobile slash a sled without any problem, but farther north you go, the more snow we got. Because when you go up north in Michigan, it's going uphill. Go look at the topographic map. You'll see what I'm talking about. So it is Michigan out there. Anyway, I do want to switch to something here real quick with weapons and munitions. Atlantic firearms don't mention that often but they do have some goodies though they they even did a video for all their 7.62x39 and stripper clips. Yeah that lasted that minute lasted about 10 minutes and they were gone all of it's gone. They had our Yugoslavians 7.62x39 on stripper clips brass case original original containers you know the zip type 10 covers for the boxes inside the ammo crate. and that's also about the keep an eye out because they've got a source so they may import some more here or where we can from whatever bokir will wait to see what that atlantic firearms dot com they do have some mackerel of amo right now and the mackerel of ammunition is running about those kinds of surround well still cheaper than three d auto right now but mackerel used to be a nickel around as we know the used to be thing and so well again will will live with it uh... if you need it you buy a couple boxes at least or by a case and you're done okay it's gonna be a chugga change however i didn't really bring you there for that uh... purpose but another one uh... if you have an air fifteen you need as many options for that rifle as you can and there are any real cheap arrangements i mean bear creek has got some stuff i've mentioned uh... it like those operas also a mix And one of them that I would recommend simply because it's a really good idea is if you go to Atlantic Firearms, once you get there, you'll see where it says, let's see if I can pull it up here again properly. You want to get over to AR-15 uppers, okay? And when you do get to those AR-15 uppers, what you're going to do is you're going to go to the very first item at the top of the section there, okay, which is IFC AR-15 upper receiver 410-410 AQR. Now, I don't always mention these, but in this case they are the AR-15 upper with everything, bolt carrier charging handle, 410 gauge shotgun, and it's the, it's kind of like the Indian musket, okay? uh... but really not a bad little idea for what it is and they are about their three hundred sixty nine dollars apiece okay three hundred sixty nine zero zero that's why i'm using the actual three six nine because they didn't put ninety nine cents on the under ninety five cents on the end which is good now here's the thing about this these come with a full-down set of iron sites it is a four ten barrel uh... flash headers not essential but it does create the illusion that it's uh... something else It is a pretty clean line upper the way it's built, but it does come both with its own bulk carrier and a charging handle and apparently one magazine. Needless to say, the first thing I'd be investing in is more magazines if they're available and I hope they are. I don't see them jumping out at me right away. But for 369 for another caliber, first I would spend money on 7.62x39. If you have a 5.56 AR-15, get a 30 caliber, 7.62x39 upper ASAP, quickly, as soon as you can. Don't have to buy a whole rifle. If you're buying an upper now for what you used to pay for a whole rifle when we told you, buy more kit, okay? But oh well. Instead, buy one of the sixteen-inch at least operas for that and some sixty by thirty nine if you go to bear creek they've got a mister stock and then of number two would be this one to be quite honest there's a lot of four ten out there there is still some four ten ammunition actually for sale uh... swabs are cool which makes it pretty potent little rifle for what it is No, it doesn't have a 30, 40 round magazine, but it is a semi-automatic option with 410 with buckshot or shot in it, whatever you're going to use. By the way, you can load all of it up you want. 410 is easy to load, really easy to load. And you can do triple buck, you know, for instance, triple-out buck, double-out buck, you can do number four buck, you know, you get a larger number of pellets, the smaller the buck, the size pellet, buckshot pellet. obviously that's common physics but anyway the uh... advantage of this is again there is a lot of four ten all what really resuscitated the four ten cartridges not so much the long guns as all of these we'll comes out there that are in like that you know the judge rationed cetera now the neat thing is this is really self-contained to the point where if you really wanted to spend the money up the next investment would be at a building another all lower uh... from scratch and progressively building up another government you have another complete upper receiver got your charging handle ball carrier full opera with the fight don't have to add anything to this government where it is at work this upper it's got iron sights already pop up pop down and it does come with a mag the only thing i don't know is if they have more mags i haven't searched the page to see if they do but that would be my my next priorities confirm magazines forgive me before actually decided invest in that particular upper it is all right though the other i fc roper's are out there so finding somebody who has the mags would be the first step before i can spend the money right away out of great culture been their place uh... it's john from kentucky one thing you Forgotten amount is the 22 conversion. The hatches and 22 conversion? Oh yeah, there's a bunch that are out there. Yeah, there's more than a few models, but yeah, that would be another good idea. Because there's tons of 22. Better a 22 round going down range in harsh language and throwing the rifle at them. Well, you can shoot squirrels with it. Right? Exactly. And again, it's, well, if you know where to put the bullet, it's terminal on a person, or let's put it this way, like I said, aim for the crotch and just keep putting bullets on it. You know, I don't care who you are, your hips messed up, you're not moving much farther on me, right? Yeah, so, I'm out. I appreciate that. Thank you for the heads up on that. That was something else. Yes, there are a number of 22 options for the AR, and the Acheson's actually been around the longest. it's been around i thought i think that's like the third and they were actually all competing against each other so they really wanted to come out before the other but the action and type of twenty two conversion gets for the air fifteen relatively compact easy to put in a backpack and keep with the gun no keep with your combat load and you what make it a pallet eyes little package with all stuck together so we cannot get separated but we talked about earlier about armored bags during the first hour all kinds of armored molly tight pouches that offer all kinds of protection and mean that you can put everything in there at one bundle so that it can't get lost that's the big thing keep everything together including the mags if you know if you're going to do it make it to the mags are stuck right there with the rest of the system if you want to lighten your combat load you could detach certain pieces like that and cash them somewhere else when you're in the field you remember your palletizing your combat load so that that if you do want to pair some of it down uh... then you can do that what i traditionally would do which we've all if you've been the system at all in service what you infiltrate into an area you'd identify what is basically your first fallback and recovery point which you may have other rally points when you're in the field but your recovery point when you're doing reconnaissance or raid operations your hiding slash cashing your equipment that is farthest forward with you then you're proceeding with your combat load and whatever else are essential and perishable such as pirate techniques, demolition, anything like that that's coming along for the ride well, your backup weapon systems like this or support systems that allow you to change out the gun could be left with your house load and with other backup or munitions equipment etc. And then after you've fallen back from whatever your activity is, either because of success or failure, your rally point, collect your personnel, go to your second rally point in case there's anybody else that needs to be collected, catching up. And then you go to that recovery point, pick up the rest of your gear, secure it, make sure everything is where it's supposed to be, switch out, resupply where you have magazines that are empty or gone, pyrotechnics, your spare grenades, your spare smoke, everything you got is right there with your dump cash. And then once you load everything up, you want to ask the AO. But if you need to switch out, example, well, you're out of 556 ammo. Guess what? Better 22 and something going downrange than a situation and again, what's the cost of a couple hundred rounds at 22 ammunition in a sealed container? Weight wise, 200 rounds is 200 rounds of something. By the way, nobody wants to be hit with whatever is flying around, and if it's quieter, it might not be a .22 with all the different sounds. That's one of the other interesting things we need to point out. Sound is part of the battlefield, as you should imagine. But movies don't do it credit, and video games kind of give you some feel with regard to the nuances that they put in the background. When you're when you're in an engagement you're listening for certain types of weapons friend foe friend foe But in addition remember there's a lot of other noise going on and a lot of weapons especially in this war that we're getting into Guys think of the spectrum of guns you have on our side Now the other side really does have some other unique stuff, too So remember silenced weapons and all that this is this is going to be one of those really fuzzy double battlefield situations I mean, you got everything from 460 Weatherby's going off to people with hushpuppy rifles, you know, with all kinds of equipment in between and everything going pop, pop, boom, boom, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, you don't have much space you don't really want to take up much place you want to minimize the profile or the signature of a cash in other words make it you know compress it wherever you can now the two things you gotta watch out is you know the possibility of something to cover she can't necessarily just leave stuff laying around now it depends uh... i know guys that if you see the p pipe and here's a here's a neat trick you can take pv p pipe you can when you get out of the field you watch like in michigan here we got the ash borer problem guys you've got uh... bark that comes off a whole barrel of it off the whole side of the tree is one piece now you take that and you take out you take your favorite little cool got with your your your caught up with you with some liquid nails and if not gonna last forever but you know what you already painted the uh... the tube you put you know a little bit of critical pattern on that kind of like tree bark Then you take the tree bark that you've got real you glue that to the outside nest that into dirt Okay out in the middle of BFE and again make sure it's your regular remember the logs don't fall with nice little cuts on either ends So you want to make sure that your ends? create the illusion of a break or a fall and A cache can actually sit right on the ground half buried looking like a rotted piece of wood that most people are going to have Absolutely no interest in out in the middle of BFE. Oh, you didn't think about that? You buy PVC pipe near whatever size you want. And then remember, triple CO everything. Now, is it possible someone could stumble over that? Possible, but if it's in the back 40 in the middle of nowhere, off every beaten path, it's going to be found. The nice thing about a cache like that, is especially as what we would call an inclement weather cash. Those are especially effective because it's easiest to get to. Now we also have what are encampment caches, and this is something I've done for years. I always collect, for instance, iron grates off of stoves, old pots and pans that are stainless or for that matter, large frying pans and things of that nature. But a handful of small utensils and such too. take all of that out and make a camp cash somewhere football the pans upside down here and we're not probably think that we hear we're talking about taking something out covering up with and it is a course rough encampment cash now the ideas mode don't make it too obvious what the time comes you're going to use it utilize it and improve the fight but you can set up the type of uh... cash no hundred different locations i have Oh, I've probably done 50 to 60 of those in the last couple of years. And what is one night you go out, point yourself in a direction, totally different from any of the others, and you pick a spot high, low, or on an island, or wherever you can think of. There's all kinds of neat places around here. And you just leave it. And again, you don't put it where it's easily seen, and you don't leave it in such a way that when you cover it, it's going to create a man-made object curiosity. remember you can put out there during the summer with leaves and think all it's going to be cool well everything falls something that circular something that's square something that is very obviously man-made draws people's little little brain attention all there's something now i wonder what that is and their look pure curiosity picked and lo and behold that's all she wrote now we may not mess with anyway because i get that this is course for a rustic encampment but you know great rob metal to metal implement pop-and-pants tools even people actually it was her feet of extra tea pots and such will walk those into something where they're sealed everything is everything is what just as is what the door so again nothing's going to you know collect in it When you get out there, you gotta clean it up, you're gonna boil it up, congratulations, now you got yourself a location. You gotta watch thermal signatures, so there are a number of different tricks, we can't do it on the radio so easily, but you do canopy to cover any of your light or very small thermal points that you build up, you know, in other words, putting a fire together in the field. Remember, as long as you don't know exactly where you are, it's not gonna draw that much attention, but rule number one, why be stupid and just hang out in the open? It's like standing in the middle of a field. conceal everything constantly conceal everything layers of defense layers of of of thermal protection etcetera always remember that layers of camouflage not just one anyway good subject there the twenty two is another one that yes is in the uh... in the inventory but i would go the thirty people if you are limited money i would do the subject to a thirty nine now because we're looking at main battle but after that it support cartridges the four ten is one the twenty two is the other for the quite whichever is you know uh... float your boat or you think what seems appropriate for you The 22, there is a ton of it out there and the other advantage doesn't take much to carry a whole bunch of rounds for the 22 and that pops right into the rifle and the standard .223 556 bore, that little .22 rim fire bullet goes right down the tube just like it's supposed to. In fact, the only difference is it's a very expensive .22. Hey, actually I'm going to take that back because a lot of the .22s out there, have you looked at the prices right now? guys are creeping up toward the cost of an air fifteen with what's left so i should say that even in prices of the group in rueger many over a group of ten twenty two has been terrible for a while because it's been so popular and it works so well there's another example right there are one of the thing that the planet does have the just got a bunch of these radon uh... polish a k pistol can you know i've not excited about a lot you know what that particular one don't put a shoulder stock on it uh... by the the pistol when the war starts you can put a uh... stock out the rear end of that in a heartbeat and it's a nice little you know subgun for what it is but it is a twelve hundred dollar car but a lot of other weapons for twelve hundred dollars right now just for the time being but if you got the money in the poacher boat run with it i have a problem that not good there's no judging anymore at this point in time we're going to war no matter what it that the dumb deal that is finished okay now the only issue is prepared you're going to be in how we have on hand all of the thing yet that uh... polish radum pistol is in two to three yeah he's about to fix you by thirty nine yeah i don't know but it'll work and either one work the biggest thing is a written two to three by all the magic and if you buy a weapon in what is it's non-standard magazine configuration by which you could afford as quickly as you can in terms of mags always remember that because you're going to need those proprietary mags that would be a high is the ammunition and before anything else that what you got the weapon mags and ammo mags and ammo mags and ammo or a couple of that anyway uh... another thing here radio communications one of the other things about base stations or any radio guys if you don't have a base station you can use a regular cb can use a twelve-volt wall water converter there's a bunch of different ways you can do that uh... in fact you can just hook up a twelve volt battery put it solar charger on the twelve-fold system from outside and run a twelve-volt uh... and a couple of alligator clips off of uh... your power supply cool meal cords off a regular car radio and the advantage of that is again lightweight easy to move and you've got a clear an area quick everything gets rolled up and everything gets run with nice to do that with your base station but if you don't have the money for a base initially remember all your mobile radios are going to be valuable getting another radio to fit that particular niche for the moment is fine and a real quick fix outside, a 10 foot, 15 foot, or 20 foot piece of iron pipe with a flange on the end of it. What do I mean by flange? Well, if you've got a magnet mount, a real quick cheapy version, I know this is a poor man's base station, but it works, okay? Well, Dad, anything 12 volt is, you know, going to be a lot easier to power than anything 110 as far as being in the field. Exactly. Well, the thing about it is with the antenna base, we've done this before, guys, you can take a magnet mount antenna, put it on the, you just have to buy the longest coax you can get your hands on attached to that magnet mount. But you use a flange on a 10 foot or 15 or 20 foot piece iron pipe. And all you do is just lay the magnet mount right on top. Now if you want to, put a little duct tape on that just to make sure she doesn't slide around a little bit with the wind. But otherwise, real simple, real quick, and you've got yourself a house radio. Now, there's a number of other ways to deal with that. There are Tri-Masks. There's all kinds of things out there you can find that people are getting rid of. In fact, go to Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. People are selling radio masks right now. While I'm talking, they're posted out there. I know they are because I've looked at them. Okay? so it's a matter of how sophisticated uh... how much money have remember iron pipes really cheap you go over to monday all maynard's or to you know allows or to uh... you know home death pot take a pic in other big box doors of the hardware's you might be siren pipe right off the shelf right there give a couple coats of paint give a couple calls tactical paint real quick don't paint it so verb to pay it you know in uh... well pay the best color london fog okay it's one of the best colors or blending in with the tree line that's out there because there's seasonal changes but the branches of the core basically don't and it really works well to the semi-gloss so it's going to have a little shine that going to last especially in the weather but you can also go with any of the flat tones you want to but the gray browns are really great for when you look across the field that mass that you put up is going to blend in with the rest of those trees and that's what you're really looking for. Go ahead, call or jump in there. I just wanted to mention, and for anybody who was thinking about it, there is a solar panel available at Harbor Freight that produces a good output, but in full sunlight, it's closer to 24 volts than 12. So you need to get a circuit. Ben Amman did it for me, and if anybody wants to try to In touch with me I could give them the circuit to build something that would cut the voltage down to 12 But it's a good panel. It's just not producing the right amount for for this application Right in fact there's very simple how tractor supply has only very limited number of solar panel units So the neat thing is the models they have are consistent all over the country There is one that's a little dashboard model doesn't put out much But it actually works and you can gang you can gang connect those two as a mobile unit. Now they're not flexible, they're rigid and they're the older tech but any of those will help so that is another solution. The big thing here again is a simple solar panel. Remember you're not going to be eating that much up with a 12-volt system. They're actually what we call fuel sippers, electricity sippers for the most part. Now the more widgets you add, the more power the transceiver, the more obviously watts you're going to burn, the more energy, more calories you're going to consume. So just be ready for that. And you can either increase the quality of the battery, marine batteries work really well by the way for this kind of work. Don't forget that if you're looking at scavenging, we've talked about this many times, car wrecks. thing Whether it be in series or parallel I mean if you need more than 20 if you need more than 12 volts you can get higher voltage through DC like Craig was saying you can get 120 DC voltage off your system depending on how you got your batteries set up right now on Do on a blank if it's parallel or in series I think parallel keeps it at 12 volt like you hook the battery the positive up to the positive and the negative up to the negative and then you hook to either end of that and you basically get 12 volts, it just runs for a longer time. If you need more power you hook it, you know, positive to negative, positive to negative and then you hook up to the end of it that way and you get the more voltage but you get a shorter run time out of it. So again, for everybody, there's a number of different ways that we can deal with the power issues of SPAN, which we should have on standby anyway, even if you're using wall power off the wall, Your first priority, just like having freestanding no middleman radio, is to have freestanding no middleman power. See how that works? So that's one of the other reasons for prioritizing having a battery system on standby or again using it on a regular basis. You don't have to use it every day. What you want to do is get used to the idea of having the equipment squared away, technology ready to run, running it, and practicing running it. Okay, utilizing generators, solar panels, whatever technology you're going to commit to, you've got to test it to make sure it works. And you want to run it to see if there's anything you made a mistake on. Just think about that. That's one of the advantages of right now, although we don't have much time, we've got time to tweak the system if you have something that needs to be changed or fixed. So that's where you guys come in right now with what we're talking about doing. Plug in the technology, get it done. The base stations, the one nice thing about setting up a real base station is remember, I'll put off the wall right from the get-go, right from the box. Also, you're not restricted. You have a lot of older pieces of equipment, which is, again, prioritizing technology. Your lighter, more mobile goes to where it needs to be. Armored vehicles, armored trucks, personal vehicles, setting up an inter-radio net in your area. and then your base stations can use a lot of your older, you know, heavy or old earth technology as we used to, you know, we always joke, but the heavier weightier equipment is left in place logically. I mean, that common, that's what it was built for. Okay, so there's not a big deal there. It's not a problem. It's just, you know, tailoring everything that you acquire accordingly. If you've got a little too much or extra and you keep running into more, well, that means we need to help build somebody else's base station up. we need to start we need to look at each other but we need this bill is quickly as we possibly can and no hesitate don't wait get something you know the old story told something you're the pilot you'll get get in motion on this is quickly as you can the enemy is issued shaking on this one i have several people i've talked to a radio uh... captain monahan passed away but his friends who we've been in touch with for a long time they were part of the livery net all the others they have never seen the the communications people panic the way they have i'm telling you that right now they're going out of their way to spittle you know the impact everybody's like or the hell the past has come from one of the person they've noticed you know you can't find the government when you need it you know if your life depends on it right uh... there there to suck your money not to not to help you and one of the things that everybody is commented on this were the hell that they've come from or what it comes down to guys is remember they were told that you're all stupid you don't have a clue which people resist blah blah blah blah blah we're all going to get caught flat-footed and everybody is is all the sudden when they when you've booted eighty million people off of all of these social media instruments thinking what we're going to go to brain fart instead i mean if only twenty thirty million people turned to another solution that's a massive throwaway but here's the thing If every one of you goes out of your way to recruit a person and we double that number and we double that number and we double that number and we can. You know the beautiful part guys, you don't shut up about things right now. The enemy has pissed in so many faces, they have created so many epiphanies, that right now we have the ability to virtually shift the battlefield on a massive level and there's nothing they can do to fix it because they burned all of their bridges. We didn't burn ours, well we're burning the ones that are connected to them. people walking away from the garbage realizing it's kind of like like a good on the list of things that normally would be distractions how many people even pay attention to to the uh... both you know the bs with football football i didn't even realize until somebody made several social media comments i kept saying stay away from pool ball wire you even worried about it is that the rough anybody catch on to the ball here's one but i will say about this complete somebody brought it up you know that the uh... they left us were of lamenting and pecking and moaning about the quarterback who won because he's a white guy and the guy was the guy who's the quarterback is a guy who makes things work and so he was an evil white guy because the other team lost and apparently maybe the guy who I didn't pay attention I don't even know who the fools are but because this is real like black history month or some bullshit like that that it was racist for him to win the game for him to fight hard and win the game he should have rolled over and let the blacks whoever it is here that was going on with the fools ball game the stupor bowl uh... because it was evil and horrible that the white man one during the you know the uh... black history month and it's like or really well another good reason by what about why we stay away from pool ball and dump all of that crap and guess what think about it all the money you spent on pool ball first of all why would you buy a ticket she could sit next to somebody that cardboard cutout they feel the cardboard cutout which is an intimate third is valuable as you are all by the way you got grope to the basic like you're going to the airport you got grope and search them and then the other pimp on it you know people should walk up like they were coming to buy a ticket turn around and everybody just walk away that would really be smart that would be fun it's like all the hell with this garbage i don't go through the need this car i don't fly anymore for this reason i don't go near this and you actually say that why you're leaving it just walk away shaking head pimp on them if you got any fake propaganda like raw, raw stuff, you throw in the dumpster and drop it on the ground while you're leaving whatever little pen it or banner or something like that, looks like it's for whatever team, it's like, oh, piss on them. Guys, you gotta learn to use the tools. And especially with the situation where it is right now. Because you've gotta... 80 million, 90 million, half the country, more than half the country. I think it's a lot more than 80 million. I believe, like I said, the numbers were much higher for trumpet and they were nonexistent for the, for the pedal. The whole thing just demonstrated beyond a shadow of a doubt in my mind that, uh, guys, the fake elections are done. The ballot box is shredded, burned and destroyed. you're going to war there's no solution the ballot boxes no solution there is no election process that will will gain anything and if it's local will be running that ourselves once we get to war into war think about it we don't need the fed for that we don't need a government only does it barely the state government for that but for local elections of local activities we take care of ourselves and we don't first of all we dump all the damn computers second of all anybody tried to vote a second time you're going to get beat down or you're probably put in jail voter fraud, high crime. This is going to be settled real quick here. America is going to have to clean its problem out. That means, number one, carving off DC and getting it just out of our lives. It's now an occupation force, you know, with the red, red terror slash the red guard in D.C. to go step around and, you know, make sure that everybody is showing the paper. Well, yeah, everybody swore we wouldn't let that happen. We wouldn't let this happen to the country. Not only do we have the enemy within the gate, we now have the enemy in the castle keep. So that means that it's a free-for-all to fight for the rest of the terrain. The castle keep has been overrun by the turds. and there's still a bunch of the you know the the uh... royalty wannabe flight fake republic rats try to make posture now but it's too late they screwed up they already went along with everything the democrats wanted there is no difference between the two so they have a no no value to me whatsoever there a dog and pony show not my circus and both are monkeys always remember that so communications building here real quick uh... guys there are all kinds of fault phone systems out there available now you're something that i can't emphasize enough for the matter one batch of these i got i've got a move right now but i just remind myself but doing this program There are a bunch of different phone systems out there that make for a personal phone net in an area or for instance in a farm complex where you've got a bunch of different allied houses nearby. You don't even use the system's own phone wiring or whatever, but you do independent self-wired systems, not wireless. Don't go near wireless. Piff on that garbage. That's your wheel with radio fine, but where you have middleman operations No or something where that kind of they kind of garbage is what they're looking for They expect intercept now I will take part of that back as his future cuz I can teach you there with for instance wireless phones, okay? But hardwire for instance guys you can go to let's see major surplus comm major surplus comm Major surplus comm colman dot com colman dot com colman dot com workman guide dot com sportsman guide dot com workman guide dot com and in each one of those they have military uh... radio telephone or forgive me wire teleport field folks uh... these are hardwired double-line value for a while there you could get any cable in all but right now there's been a bunch of this comeback him uh... but you could always build it yourself he didn't really need to buy the spools but the schools are out there now and steel or copper either work of the german's in the euro's were using steel because feels cheaper and usually feel for wire gets messed up pretty quick so it was less less expense The wiring, either one works, but you can wire up and in fact even buy switch boards. Kind of like your old petticoat junction thing, and if you have an area, you can have somebody working a switchboard and you can set up your own ground wire phone system that cannot be interfered with, that is freestanding. A lot of people have done this already. This is not new. This is something, you know, the oldest one of the older, well, copper wire act is based on telephone system. And key word, copper wire act, you know, copper wire for the phone system. Not hard to do. We're not talking fiber optic. We're talking steel or copper line. Now the big thing about this is again, if you want to switchboard, some of the different surplus companies have them, and the three that I just mentioned, there are others out there. They're not the only ones. Most everybody has one form of these phones or another on the shelf in terms of the basic unit. Now, you can run wire to wire, phone to phone, and not have, say, a switching system. You just have to have more phones. You pick up one phone, it talks to the barn out there in the back 40. You have the other phone, you pick it up, and that talks to the house. Okay, depending on what it is you have for either an LPOP, Listening Observation Post, or Widows Walk, maybe in the main house or the barn where you're observing everything going on. Somebody's going to be working operational security on a regular basis with optics, cameras, television technology, whatever you got. But in addition to that, you need ground communication that is not interceptable or disruptable. Okay, so you can bury the lines. You run the lines, bury the lines, now you're in place. The whatever your phone hub is, it can be the house out to the other buildings and structures and even to neighbor's houses or it can be the other way around. But one location is going to need to, if you use the crudest form, is going to need a central point where you can man it. A woman, a grandpa, a grandma, one of the kids can sit there and operate the equipment. Don't let them sit there for hours at a time. Rotate the personnel out. that's why it's nice to have support personnel around grappling grab a kid pitch and they want to sit there and it while they're getting ready to use the phone all work on another project not a problem see everybody can pitch in in this conflict especially when it comes to the infrastructure that you're going to need to get the job done however if you go to fair radio dot com fair radio dot com w w w dot fair radio dot com they have switchboards field fault and what's really cool is even have rebuild kept for some of the stuff there radio a lot of stuff that is not listed uh... on their web page on just think the web pages where i need to go if you go to double you double you double you radio dot com when you get there you'll find that they have looked into pictures of the technology they have on the shelf but they have any number of different options in terms of Canadian, I think they had a Belgian base, Belgian radio slash operator station, which had a combination of both radio transceiver technology and they had a little petticoat junction ground switchboard for field phones. I don't know what they have left and that's where you're going to have to go and check it out to see what it is that's available. But if you go to their page, you'll find that there's all kinds of neat stuff. In fact, hold on here, I'm going to see if they have field phones. Yep, there we go. Field phones, telephones, and association. Sociates. Field phones and associated. Right now they've got a TA43, whoo, a little pricey for that particular one, I think. But if you go through and look to see what they have, they are cheaper or mixed out there. uh... three-pin telephone switch board connector eleven dollars uh... we will tell the t eight nine fifty four so actually one of the newer rigs out there and now that when you get into the newer phones i should mention that the uh... it's true forget mark for get ahead of himself there the older systems are one two three point because they can be hooked up some of the air can be looked up to more than one station It depends on which country and what era you're looking at here. So, again, we'll have to qualify what I said in that you can take one phone that can actually deal with three phones at that hub. However, now there are advantages and disadvantages of that, like we've said many times. If you have activity going on in three different sites, and you have the resources to put up three different phones on the receiver end, This means that Bob isn't standing on hold while Martha is talking to somebody about who she sees coming down the road and Bob is trying to report the people he sees coming down the road from the other direction while he's out there by the old dairy bar. So the advantage of having three separate lines and three separate phones as opposed to one phone doing all the work at the receiving end is the possibility of blocking out important signal coming in. Now for efficiency and for space and for money, using one phone to do multiple missions is accepted and expected. I know that's what a lot of you are going to choose to do. They do have a mix of field phone wires. Take a look at what they have there and there's different prices. WF-16-4 conductor-stranded field phone wire on a D8 reel around 950 feet. Two pairs would look like small zip cord twisted together. Each conductor is seven strands. Number 85 hard draw copper alloy wire and it's 18 pounds for each roll and that's $98 a roll for 950 feet. So just a heads up, I'm just touching casually, there's a bunch of different options.

Now another thing the other sources if you go to for instance In fact, let's see what they have left over at Coleman's I know that Coleman's has a number of and again Coleman's in the same situation or an old surplus company They do not post everything on the web page that they have in the back rooms and warehouses So if you're looking for certain pieces of equipment You may want to first look to see what they have and then also give them a call. Hey, I'm looking for fill in the blank, what you made your list of things you're interested in. But especially with regard to field phone technology, I don't know what they have left. They have had different models. They do have one listed in the markdown section. So let's see what they say. Well, that's weird. Okay, field pants have nothing to do with field phones, do they? I'm pretty sure I got that one right. Field phone, okay. I know how to spell phone. Whole bunch of stuff just popped up and all of a sudden when I do that I got field uniforms. In fact, okay, before the top of the hour, this was fascinating, I can punch in field phones at field, F-I-E-L-D, phones, this is always fun when you run into this, phones, And when I do that, I can see cabling, I see Swedish field phones, I see vintage Polish military switchboard, oh there's a switchboard right there. Let's go to that and see what that does. Is that a switching station or a switchboard? It is a switchboard. Hey, alright, you know what I just mentioned? Ignore what Mark said before. Vintage Polish military switchboard, classic petticoat junction, $49.95. In fact, well, grade one, let's see, what's grade one? Grade one is, I assume, $99. I'm gonna take grade two and see what it looks like. What does grade two look like? What's wrong with it? Nothing. Okay, so I can spend $100, which is a very good price. And by the way, this is a Polish switchboard. They didn't have this the last time I looked, so Uncle Mark actually is gonna be tagging this because I want one of these for myself. But for $49.95, guys go look at this. It's vintage. Vintage! Oh God, and it doesn't cost $5,000. Vintage Polish Military Switchboard. Vintage Polish Military Switchboard. They have them in stock. This is a hell of a price for these. But it's the, if you're familiar, you watched all the old movies. Yes, hi. Is this the party to whom I am speaking? Do you have a telephone call? We are gay. Fast mocks do. Fastest roasting factor. Yeah. Well, anyway, I'm going to have to work on my Polish. I haven't worked on that. I haven't gotten there yet. But anyway, this is worthwhile. Item, the SKU number is 508001. It's a good thing I did that. I finally, you know, I got just best on it. I'll just go to one of the items. This by the way is self-packaged. The switchboard comes with manual, and Polish by the way. There you go. I'll work on it. But anyway, that is definitely worthwhile. Comes with screwdrivers, comes with plugs, cables, connectors, and a neat little placard there with more Polish on it that I have to interpret. fifty dollars or hell yes this is worthwhile so guess what that was a good find in fact i'm going to put it in my car right now because i want that i want it really bad and in addition fact i want more than one for that price and i think i'm going to do that so for all the other solutions not just lamenting about the problems now when you go over the search you can actually go up to the search for colman to put in field phones like I did. And tell me if it happens to you. I'm going to punch in field phones. And if I get the pH in there, all the stuff shows up on the map. And I get an O, and then I get an E, and then I get a, oh wait a minute, I should have an E there. Now it says field phones. And it shows all these really cool things. So, I guess I'm going to go to the bottom here and say, view full search results 13. Let's see if that gets up. And it still goes to the clothing. Oh well. Eventually it gets to the phones. By the way, they also have a Swiss military bunker phones, digital analog field phone, $99. Swedish military field phone, $69.95. and german army feel phone to poll over two packs old forgive me even better there is a solution uh... in fact be quite honest i've had these Swedish phones they are phenomenal Swedish military feel phone Erickson two-pack for sixty nine ninety five there you go remember getting rid of communication with that requires middlemen In this case, you're talking point-to-point communication, hard line, put it underground, can't cut it, make sure that it goes into a wall underground or is armored so that when it goes into the wall, you have to make an effort to try and get to it, and then you still have to figure out if that's what you need to cut. Remember guys, what the eyes cannot see, the heart does not long for nor consider, just like armoring up your buildings. What the eyes cannot see, the heart does not long for nor consider. Tink, tink, tink, tink. Yeah, they keep shooting at the building, but nothing just seems to go through at all. That's how it's supposed to be, Tovarish. Anyway, we are at the top. We're going to go to break here for the time being for everybody out there. Oh, no, we're going to go to the top because we are at the top there and I get to actually eat. Go ahead, call her. Jump in there quick. Hey, real quick, what powers these phones? It depends. Some of them require no power, others require typically D-cell batteries or they have some of the newer power source supplies, but it varies. Most of them are D-cell, if they require any at all. Okay, so I'm going to check that out. The switching stations typically are not powered. But I'm gonna look to see in the like you said, I'm gonna check that out by buying one. That way I'll be able to know for sure. It's something they did not have. But most are, again, Magneto-Seth and Magneto-Seth, they call it off of the existing system, your crank, your talk, your down. So pretty straightforward. Anyway, we'll talk more about that because I gotta get out of the way. Our moral PR coming up and God bless the Republic. New world order, we shall prevail ladies and gentlemen, the Empire is on the runway, we're on the march. Don't forget you can get rechargeables in D or C as you can do an adapter to go to C in front of D cell and use rechargeables either way and as needed switch them out so you make a combat pack. The neat thing about all of the field bombs, they're armored, they're very well built. The three-ish ones that I've been running into are virtually like brand new on the issue. And it looks like the one they're showing here is comparable. Look at the straps and the leather. These things have been in excellent condition. And you're getting a pair for $69.95. It's not the only one though. There's many of them out there. In fact, at colt.com. I'm going to get out of there. God bless. We'll be back soon. Bye-bye.
