This simple blog was only created to stop a Google bomb. There are those who are looking for the truth about something. Scott Morrow is blind to a lot of the truth. John Cook got it wrong, Vanessa Grigoriadis only re-wrote garbage she found on the internet. Much of her stuff is just garbage. 20/20 may fail, I am the only one who dug deep to find the truth. Should I take it to my grave? Some times they hide text such as SSNs by changing the font to hidden.I expect the average reader to find this one blog very very cryptic.
That is Broadband over Power Lines. Several years ago I got a call from another amateur operator, with the instructions to monitor BPL emissions. When I heard about it all I could think of was FAST INTERNET, I never cared if it would cause problems with ham radio. Now the ARRL has received several complaints about it. Of all the interferences received by amateur radio I think BPL is the least of our worries. In most states Cable Internet has taken over and BLP will never get a foot hold anyways. But, BPL is not in my area, so it is very hard for me to form any kind of opinion on the subject.
It seems every day they talk about a draft. It will sneak up on us before you know it. It won't take long before the younger generation recognizes the military is full of it.
I would like to tell every one what I think of it. My father was in the U.S. Army during the Korean War. He never got sent over sees and he did not enjoy every minute of his time in the service. He entered as a cook, that is what he liked to do. He even baked a birth day cake for Eisenhower. (Eisenhower requested him.)
But the U.S. Army has a policy they never tell you about. You will not be placed where you want to be. And you may not do what you want to do. So they made my dad an MP (that is military police for those of you who don't know.) One time a he was on his way to a bar fight when the driver of the jeep crashed on purpose putting him and the driver in the hospital. The driver was a coward, afraid to do his duty for fear of getting beat up. The MP core is nothing but guard duty or a glorified guard. He spent some time at a POW camp as a guard. One smart-alecky North Korean would always step over the line even after being told he could be shot. My dad's orders was, If one of them escapes you take his place. My dad was not a killer but he once unloaded his machine gun at the feet of the North Korean. If you paint it gray you can't hide it. About three weeks before my dads call to duty was up the lieutenant asked for his Tommy gun when handing it back to him the lieutenant dropped it in the mud. My dad was then busted from staff sergeant down to a corporal. He was then told that what the lieutenant did was illegal, and he would be given his rank back if he reenlisted. Under the gray you will find red and whiteMy dad has corporal on his grave.
That's the news coming up this week.
Bob Murray, has tried to blame the cave in on an earth quake. (blame it on God) That is what the rich do every time bad happens. My heart tells me this time they are dead. It seams the lives of coal miners have been spared the last several times it hit the news this big. But in Indiana they died. Guess you never read about that one. I believe if they had a beautiful blond down there in that mine we would be spending more money to dig them out. And a bigger scandal when we find out fraud and a scandal is involved. I pray, I pray, I pray I am wrong on this one. Some bodies husband is down there. Some bodies father is down there. Why can't we have better regulations on coal mine safety?
In the news today.Woman Buys Box at Auction, Finds Human Skull InsideThe woman turned the skull over to police, who said it was relatively clean and don't believe foul play was involved.
Looks to me she did not know what she had. As you can see here that thing is worth six thousand five hundred dollars. I am sure she could have gotten a quick four thousand with a buy it now on EBAY.
About 17 years ago, (when I got back into Ham-radio after ten years ) I convinced several of my CB buddies to follow and get an amateur call sign and join the wonderful world of HAM RADIO. One of the first things we did was purchase a rig with the ability to talk and listen to other HAM radio operators. One of "the hurtles" getting a ham radio license at that time was passing the code test. You needed five words per minute to get on the HF frequency and thirteen to talk on the lower frequencies (Below 28mhz) as was custom those of us who where having a hard time passing that code test would just get on the air illegally. As a joke a friend of mine used the call K9PP. This is a valid extra call sign that was not in use at the time. Most call books where either the paper kind or a CD that did not contain any of the newly authorized licenses. He chose the call because of the derogatory remark of a dog relieving himself. He spent hours each night on the HF band racking up contacts and no other operator got the better of it.
All in good fun those of us who did things like that where given the name LID. Recently I looked up the call. I found it is now in use by Julius Simon of Morton Grove IL. I would like to say to Julius, "Old man if you step on down to 3.960Mhz you may find a few friends you never knew you had" No pun intended but I would like to wrap up with this little fact. The call sign KF6GRL belongs to David Cudaback and the call sign KF6BOY belongs to Linda O'Kane. The individual who used the call sign K9PP illegally is now a VE in southern Indiana.
