There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic Ocean right now…
Does the state have the power to interfere with aerospace commerce?
Be careful. Swine can be dangerous.
We are vey protective of the frequencies we are allocated, they are constantly being used by unauthorized people and are continuously attempted to be allocated to corporate users for commercial use. Some frequencies have world-wide propagation and can interfere with legitimate users many hundreds or thousands of miles away. We are licensed and learn about the regulations governing the use of our equipment and frequency bands. Take CB for instance, the radios are limited in power for a reason. The 11 meter band can propagate world-wide under certain conditions and adding an amplifier can interfere with communications far away, to say nothing of the havoc caused by a lack of understanding of basic electrical principals.
Licensing is dead easy, no more Morse code and a few hours of reading a prep manual for a multiple-choise test and you’re on your way.
As far as unfriendly, keying up a repeater without a license can lead to being busted for that, so can unauthorized use of public service frequencies and those users can send you to prison. Part of what you learn is proper procedure in the ham bands and where in the RF spectrum you can operate. Also, in a population of around 750,000, there are bound to be a few assholes, but that is so in every walk of life.
If you are really interested, check out a local club meeting. If not, use your FRS, GMRS or CB within the rules for those services and enjoy.
How is the ham radio community “pretty F- ed up”?
It’s not a knock on her but she was high enough up in the motor sports hierarchy to have been trained by her sponsors in appearing in public without bringing those sponsors into disrepute. It shows in her race day color announcing, which is where I’ve seen her the most. She was also a good mid-field race driver in both Indy cars and NASCAR.
Oh you sweet summer child. She was disqualified from the office of vice-president on the day she was born…
Cooper is a Soros appointee. Almost the entire down-ballot went conservative, even the Lieutenant Governor but there was no monkey business with that election...
Weeeel, Governor Cooper in NC hasn’t exactly covered himself with glory regarding his very tardy response to Helene.
Were I the governor, I’d be in the first helicopter to respond and the NCNG would have been activated immediately.
But hey, I’m no democrat.
Hussein signed a law in 2013 making by propaganda legal. I’m pretty sure that this qualifies as “the big lie” technique. CBS News deserves to be liquidated and Hussein’s law needs repealing.
Do you kiss your mommy with that mouth?
Poof, begone...
“Never pick a fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.”
Never pick a fight with a billionaire who has at least two other billionaires backing his play.
Don’t care, it’s a private residence.
Thanks for the compliment. Ugly language is the mark of the truly small-minded.
Talk is cheap, isn’t it?
So, are you writing harsh letters to the Times or are you actually getting up off your fat ass and doing something? Your country has been in the hands of the crypto-communists for at least a hundred years and they have facilitated an invasion by foreign interests. It is long past the time for direct action but your people have been neutered by the government.
BTW, I’ve spent some time in France and and said “hello” and more to a fair few of them. The worst were some Parisian waiters…
Diesel for the win.
I can go >700 miles on a 16 gallon tank of fuel in my VW turbo diesel. 3 five gallon jerry cans extend that to ~1500 miles.
My best was a run down I-81 South on a damp winter day, she was getting 55 MPG from north of Harrisburg, PA to Roanoke, VA.
The invaders can go pound sand in their own home countries.
The French, although a bit stand-offish, have been good friends of ours since the beginning of the nation and we to them. Unlike “Perfidious Albion (Lying Britain)”, there are bonds of spilled blood between the US and France.
As a personal anecdote, I have always been treated well by the French people I’ve met.
Oooh! Winged Hussars! The Bakers of Vienna!
it's from Puccini's opera, "Turandot". The title translates as "none shall sleep".
In my long life I have learned many things. One of the best is the knowledge that we never lie better than when we lie to ourselves.
Could it be possible that he is more interested in saving human lives than he is in profit?
Does that mean…. “Ready on the right, ready on the left…”
