Sorry didn't put 2 and 2 together. I have heard of them but never really listened. A lot of the shortwave stuff seems to be going away. A lot of the European broadcast have but back and even Voice of America only broadcast part time. But no I've never listened to those stations. Even tho I have...

Not sure if I get the question. Ham radio isn't channelized. Take 20meters which is a popular band for DX (contact at a distance, like talking from country to country. It starts at 14mhz and goes to 14.350mhz. The voice portion goes from 14.150 mhz to 14.350mhz and that is further broken...

That's what i carry my TWIC card in, the company gives it to us. No idea where it came from. They come in several sizes because I have another that fits my regular size ID badge.

More tickle my picke. In under 24 hours I was able to work Anartica and Svalbard island. So that makes the top and bottom of the world. I had to look it up, betwewen the bering sea and greenland sea.

I'm pretty sure that only shows waterfowl like ducks, geese, rails and gallinules since the 4 flyways are designated by the USFWS for migratory waterfowl management. That doesn't include non game migratory birds and what we call in the business "dicky birds" lol. Ie songbirds and whatever else...

The biggest growth of the hobby is the people who are prepared for shit the fan SHTF types of deals now that all you need to do is pass a test, the requirement to learn morse code was dropped about 8 years ago. I never put much into that. The one time I had the SHTF was Katrina and I have a...

Sorry, you work a station you simply make contact with that station. There are a few stations that everyone wants to "work" simply because they are rare like Anartica. The pics come from their bio page. Nowdays when you log a contact there's an almost worldwide database of call signs you can...

I had mine done at the hospital, apparently they schedule it every few days. There were 5 or so waiting. Didn't take but a few minutes. You go in assembly line like and that one Dr. does them all one after another under the scope. That's all that room is used for. I'm assuming he's pretty good...

I think that's an old QSL card. They have a special station call sign and rotate operators who have a license. When I logged the contact their page lsited who was actally using their station in what year/season and it changed all the time.

I'm a ham radio operator. Tonight I was able to work the research station RI1ANC in Anartica. Finally worked all 7 continents, Anartica obvliously being the most difficult.

I was told they use the flouriscope which is like a live x-ray in all cases now that aren't an emergency. It allows them to see the bone etc...

Had one earlier this year when they thought I had MS. They do it now under a flouriscope or however you spell it.As long as you stay off your feet and don't over do it for a day or two you really shouldn't notice anything. If you don't sit/laydown and instead walk you supposidly get a mass...

Yup you got me. I would actually more than happy if they were actually dead. Once Israel drives them into the sea that's one less topic on general I have to read on the ocassional basis.

Company provided me with the house. I had offers of upwards of a $1,000 to hang another universty flag on my house just to see if I got my ass beat.

He was my neighbor from December till May. Just sad I couldn't stick around long enough to see him do some really crazy shit. Contrary to legend, he actually pays people to mow his grass and not graze it down personally.

I just feel old because in my dad we called thos refrigerators and not beverage centers.

Cool. They should do more protest, in for the laughs when a military truck runs over the lot of them.

Dead people shown on camera forget camera is on them and move around.

If you are key to their business you might have something. I worked contract to companies for 25 years. One guy I did a lot of work for filed for bankrupcy and he owed me $25k. I found out from someone else. I figured I would never see that money. A few days later the owner came by the house on...

I can't imagine dicking with it for $6000. That's probably he other guys thought too but do you win even if you "win". Almost 100% of our shop equipment was picked up at auction. I assume when they go bankrupt you can make a claim on it. I know our biggest piece was a repo but I assume they...

Good thing man went to the moon. They would have a cow if the Astros were still the Colt .45's.

Kind of what I was thinking, if their name is officially the Washington Redskins then if he doesn't want to call them that the NFL could put pressure on the network to tell them to keep his political belief to himself.

Apparently Phil Simms doesn't think another has been athlete can do his job and commentate. He's gone on record now saying he refuses to say the word redskins on air.

I don't stop at stop and robs often, but here they have a separate lane for just lotto crap. That person has the best job (out of the two), unless the jackpot is at $400 million and the drawing is that day he sits on his stool most times I have seen him

Couold have been yours for the low low price of only $38 million, sold Thursday in CA.

CNN did a piece this afternoon on how we need to ban guns so people don't commit suicide with them and they constantly mentioned Robin Williams. Do they even read the news they report? The house from Mork and Mindy in Boulder, CO.

I didn't even know rotary phones would work with the phone system nowdays. Seems like we had to replace a few in the shop at work at one point because they were no longer compatible. They had been out there since probably the late 60's.

I still listen to music on a reel to reel. True story. Everyone here would probably be shocked at the quality. Plus I order up a box of tapes for $5 off ebay and listen to whatever is on them. I get some odd stuff but the recordings of music off the radio live during the 60's and 70's is worth...

The downside nowdays is with the new NFL draft rules and salary more and more juniors go out each year. So you really are looking at having 2 years if they don't play much as a freshman. Our whole program now is geared to knowing players that actually play will be gone before the senior year. A...

To point what NPR said, one side was killed while the other side was simply dead.

Let the re-education begin. I don't even know who our QB is now.

On NPR yesterday they reported 2000ish paestinians KILLED and 85 Jews dead.

Pretty much. I look and see if one side removed the other from the face of the map in which case would I personally be better off. Pretty simply. All this bullshit about unfair and crap is just that bullshit. You are either trying to win or losing.

Thanks for the update. I lost an entire off season and just noticed season is right around the corner. Like bowl season was yesterday. I no longer have a TV tho.

I keep hoping it will change to "The Zionist have won" or one side or the other really, get it over with and wipe one side or the other off the map. I thought this was mildly amusing. An Israeli Sense of Humor at United Nations set the record straight. An ingenious example of speech and...

You are dense if you don't think the US considers Israel more of an ally than Palaestine. We normally don't provide the weaponry we do to Israel to countries/entities that are not strong allies, treaty or not.

No shit? Last I looked Israel is an ally of the US and Palestine is not.

I dunno, I'm not familiar with that site. I liked the part further down that apparently the US should have shard the Nordin bomb sight with the Germans and the atomic bomb with the Japanese. Apparently it's real. I searched the name of the guy mentioned at the UN and Iron dome and it came up...
