PC regarding racism vs socialism and gun control

The firing of Roseanne for expressing thoughtcrime reminded us that the old demon called political correctness is still with us. This demon is an enemy of freedom and all who love freedom should fight to destroy it.

In theory the PC threat hangs over everyone's heads, but somehow it's only those expressing patriot thought who get busted for it, and it is the liberal cult that determines what is and is not thoughtcrime, or to use their word, offensive.

To a patriot, civilian disarmament, socialism, and other parts of what is today called liberalism are as repugnant as racism. If anything that can be construed as racism is to be considered heresy and lead to expulsion and termination, then anti-gun and socialist statements should have the same consequences.

Why do we allow the liberal cult to decide what is heresy? Why do we put up with this glaring double standard? What the liberal cult has done is create a pecking order, with them at the top and patriots at the bottom. And they use this pecking order as a weapon against us.

Why is anything called racism by the liberal cult so terrible that any hint of it is forbidden as heresy, but class hatred is treated as ok, and even encouraged, even though it has led to at least as much oppression, slavery, and mass murder as racism? Why is the one ok when the other is not, when both have been the basis of so much human suffering?

And all of the terrible things caused by both forms of hate were made possible because one group had the power to perpetrate them on the other, and in most if not all cases that power differential was created at least in part by the victims being unarmed by government decree. This makes civilian disarmament, or gun control as it’s commonly called, at least as great an evil as race and class hatred, because without it those who hate would not be able to perpetrate such evil on so many.

So why is it ok for liberals to try to impose civilian disarmament and promote class hatred? Why are these things treated as though they are ok when anything they call racism is forbidden as heresy? Why are these other terrible things not forbidden as heresy too? And why are they in fact imposed on us as religious doctrine, by both liberal culture and government, when they are every bit as destructive as racism?

The answer is that liberal indoctrination has been very effective, and in a system where the vote of a fool carries the same weight as the vote of a wise man, those who control big enough masses of fools control government and culture. But there is another reason too: the patriot side just hasn't been fighting back; those who love freedom have mostly just lowered their eyes, bowed their heads, and submitted to it.

(It should be noted that the liberal cult really is not opposed to racism. In fact it is very racist, blaming all manner of evil on the white man like the Nazis blamed such evil on the Jew. Liberal racism is used as a weapon of political war. But they are the night calling the day dark, convincing ignorant masses that they are not racist but their enemy is. This they accomplish simply by labelling non-acceptance of their dogmas and opposition to their doctrines to be acts of racism. This of course is an absurd lie, which in effect says that not being racist makes one racist. But those who form the liberal herd are easily led by such lies.)

The right to free expression, even if it's offensive, has always been a part of American culture. The thought police are as un-American as anything has ever been. Patriots should be fighting harder to put an end to this weapon of political, cultural, and religious war called political correctness.

I did not find ANY argument in Orthodox Church that go against animals being in Heaven.

P.S. Angry was the calmest and smartest cat I ever encounter in my life. And the only Birmanese that could dominate a big Boxer dog only with her presence. Only once she attacked my Boxer who totally lost that war when he attacked Inga.

For example one time Boxy was staying between the outside door and Angry was coming on the path. She stopped for one second and looked at him. Boxy got up slowly and went aside. Angry passed into the house. Boxy went back to his place and put his brown deer body back on the spot like all was ok. Also Boxy was the most loyal being for me in this Universe until now.

Exactly...our 3-4lb cat (Miss Kitty) completely dominates our mix breed 95lb Boxer (Cezar). He's is so afraid of her he won't walk down a hallway if she is laying there. She rules like a queen in our house.

Last night it stormed like crazy, both dogs are practically sitting our laps shaking like leaves....but calm Miss Kitty is laying out in our 3 season room stretched across the floor without a care in the world while the thunder and lightening raged on

I'll post of picture of him in this thread at some point.

Like you, I would like to think our pets go with us. My wife says heaven wouldn't be heaven without them.

The man who bothers to attend the funeral of every single fallen sparrow seems to have a great heart and love for them.

(Revelation 5:13)
And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!”

I would like to think so, but I just trust Him no matter what.

Default Greetings from East Texas


Stumbled across this treasure trove of great information in my search for tips to keeping critters out of my garden. I liked what I saw, so I've decided to stick around a bit. I've got a big family on a couple of acres and the cost of living is getting too high for my taste. We've aquired some chickens and are setting up a small, simple aquaponincs system to supplement our garden. I'm always open to tips on self sufficiency because I'm a complete new boot in that department. Thanks in advance for putting up with my backward ways!

49 cent can of corn

just thought I'd share.I'm in Fl.,and there is a canal right out the back door from work.Tried this 3 times to make sure it wasn't a fluke.

Cheap 20$ rod/reel from walmart,3$ for some small hooks and floats,.49 cent can of whole kernal corn.

Catching talipia,bluegill,bass,chichlids,oscars,turtles,had gar messing around but no hooksets.I guess there are catfish if I fished the bottom,and who knows what else.

Anyways,spent less than 30$,and 2 hours each time,and had well over 50# of protien each time.

Its fun to think about making line from paracord and hooks from paperclips,cutiing down cane for a rod..but there is no way I could have done that and gotten the same results in the same time.

Plus,It was pretty darn fun!

duel fuel stovetop burner

Was shopping online looking for one of those portable butane single burners.used them a lot when I was a chef.Very convienent and happy with them.
Then I searched for ones that used the 1# lp tanks to compare.

I had a few ads for butane ones that came with an adapter hose to use the green 1# tanks,cost was about the same.

Seems like a no brainer,get the duel one,but checking with ya'll about any pros or cons before I order.
Was looking at one made by GAS ONE,about 45$.

Also,I don't know the search term to use.I wanted to see if there is a adapter hose,maybe six foot long,that I can use a 10# grill tank to run this,or any other item that uses a green 1# tank.Not to refill a tank,just to run the item.I just don't know what to type in to search.
Thanks again for your help.

Nipah virus

Anyone heard of this besides what is being reported? I've seen lower numbers than what is being reported, however, if 54% is your lower level, this could be bad.

There is no vaccine for Nipah, which has a mortality rate of 70 percent, and no treatment beyond supportive care to make patients comfortable. The virus is listed alongside Ebola and Zika as one of eight priority diseases the World Health Organization believes could cause a global epidemic.

Anyone remember the story of Hansel and Gretel and how they used breadcrumbs to leave a trail? The good news, and hopefully without running into a witch, we can use our smart phones, Google Earth and screenshots to leave a trail.

The reader may ask, "Why would anyone want to mark their trail?"

Here is a recent example.

May 28, 2018 my oldest son and I ventured off into some sloughs along the Angelina River near Jasper, Texas. One of the sloughs we decided to explore was one I had never been down.

Tommy Robinson Arrest Blackout

How effective is the court blackout of news about Tommy Robinson’s arrest? Do you think the full story is out or do think key details are missing?

In the USA, a court can issue a “gag order”. However they mostly target lawyers and witnesses involved in a specific case. Almost NEVER the topic of the case or anybody in the press. Usually some information gets out, not everything.

How do you carry?

AIWB most of the time. Smart Carry a lot of the time too.

If I have to dress more out of the norm (norm for me is Carhartt/Dickies carpenter type jeans and a tee shirt, with a light shirt, sweatshirt, fleece, etc, depending on the season, over it), or a NPE with no cover garment, then the Smart Carry is my normal choice, sometimes an ankle holster too.

The Smart Carry's are the most versatile holsters I own, and work with pretty much "anything", gun and clothing wise. You arent limited to "little" guns (you can easily carry full sized handguns), and with a still "realistic" sized gun, you can wear a pair of shorts and no shirt if you want.

Since whatever it is Im using isnt going to be seen by anyone, color coordinating, or fancy gear isnt really anything thats important to me. Function is the important part.

Asked to March in the Memorial Day Parade

This will be a long post and I’m sorry for that. My American legion reached out and asked me to march in the parade tomorrow- it may have been more pleading than just asking. They want me in a uniform.

But I’m somewhat perplexed. Now I was a Marine, then a soldier, and then served in the State Organized Militia I served at different ranks in each. I finished my MC enlistment as a Sgt/E-5. I ended my Army one as a SFC/E-7. Finally I finished my last as a SGM/E-9.

Which uniform would be appropriate? I know I can legally wear any of those for an event like this per regs, but I’m really short on Corps stuff and could merely manage to set up a set of BDUs and boots.

I may be able to find my ACUs and the necessary patches and such.

Or I could wear my ASUs from the Army (probably the short sleeve one but don’t honestly know what the Army wears for headgear with that (the regs have changed faster than I could keep up with. )

Or I could wear either the old Army green dress uniform in a Class (I recall was the “C”) with a ****-cutter and represent the State Guard as a SMJ because it’s our uniform.

Last, I could wear my full ASUs as a State Militia SMJ, with saucer cover. I’m having a problem here trying to decide which would be the most appropriate uniform to wear.

Color me confused. I am not going to the parade my old unit does, but this one is a mere mile down the road and they said they really need uniformed people to march with them. Which uniform?

Sources for learning prepping and survival skills

I have come to realize that knowledge and skills are among the best and most valuable things we can accumulate as we prepare for the future. I would like to offer some of the online resources I have found useful in my own studies.

The first is a highly useful, informative and entertaining channel I have found on You Tube called "Townsends" that can be found at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxr...12LulcajAkKJYw.

The creator of this channel produces videos on cooking and other useful skills from the American colonial period, ranging from the early-mid 18th to the early 19th century. He also runs a business that sells reproduction clothes, tools and other items from that period and occasionally refers to the fact that certain of the items being used, presented or explained may be purchased from his company. However, the videos are not like infomercials and the references to the buying opportunities are very unobtrusive.

If you would like to learn a variety of colonial era skills, from cooking a rabbit over an open fire to building an earthen oven, I recommend this site.

Now I would love to learn about learning opportunities, books, seminars, living history resources, etc., that others would like to share.

What to burn for white ash for lye

Good luck. When I bought my property 12 years ago it was half ash. That damn green beetle killed them all I don't have one left and honestly have not seen one still alive in the last 6-7 years anywhere in the county.

If it hasn't hit your area it will don't worry. Running through now is oak wilt. My trees are still ok but I haven't bought firewood in 3 years just cut the dead oaks off friends property and there are stretches on some of the roads where you don't see a live oak for a few miles.

AIDS soars in the military now

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/p...-hiv-drug-prep

Some 2000 servicemen are already on HIV drugs and the CDC says that ten thousand more should already be on the drugs because they are at high risk.

How did this happen? The repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" in 2011 that allowed gays to serve openly and by default practice their lifestyle.

So won't this be great in a war zone with bleeding troops and field medicine?

Why should a trooper dive in with both hands on an abdominal wound to help hold a man's guts in on the chopper to he can get to a field hospital alive? Few leave a battlefield without some kind of scrapes or cuts. Hands get cut all the time without notice. So the soldier who has been sliding down a rocky hill to save his wounded squadmate grabs his pressure bandage on presses hard on the bullet wound. His hands are scraped and their blood is going to mingle. A decade or two later they both die of AIDS.

Combat arms deserves the right to evict the gays and trannies. The idea of AIDS risk rising is going to be brutal on morale in combat zones. And fear of it will result in additional deaths as troops get avoided or isolated because everyone sees blood and backs off.

Most reliable least expensive all-wheel hybrid

We have 24/7/365 --- 25KW hydroelectric generator power at our isolated off-grid BOL.

Given that in an extended SHTF situation reliable supplies of gasoline may become anywhere from very difficult to find, extremely expensive and/or simply nonexistent.

Since we have ample off-grid electrical generator power, proven to be reliable in the decade since we built/installed the system.

Even though we have a topped up large capacity gravity flow gasoline storage tank at our BOL, there is a possibility gasoline supplies eventually may become non-existent for at least some extended period of time.

Given that possibility, since we have reliable means to charge a hybrids batteries. I'm thinking of purchasing a new or fairly new plain Jane all wheel drive hybrid to keep BOL.

Researching all wheel drive hybrids, it appears a 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid fits the ticket.
Even though I don't particularly care for Japanese vehicles.

Or, is there a comparable or better American made choice?

Tommy Robinson sentenced to death for free speech

Sure, anything you say propagandist. But he got in trouble I believe for recording in a court room. You can get arrested for the same thing in the US.

Change muh mind!!!!

Guy died in prison OK. Cause of death? Looking like a suicide, but still undetermined. Reason for getting 13 months? The guy was a recidivist.

Theories on his death: He may have suicided because.....he may have been bullied by Muslim inmates. Oh the irony if true.

Oh why oh why can't the British government get the same benefit of the doubt as the benevolent US government when they mess up?

No "wait till all the facts are released" sayings? No "court of public opinion" stuff? I'm sure they will investigate themselves and determine no wrongdoing and cite documents and court cases too and everybody will have to eat and love it because that whole nation of laws provision everybody likes, well until they disagree with the law that is.

You can tell summer is coming with the increased reports of "Europe is Hell!" articles.

Good thing we have great Canadian Americans such as Lauren Southern and Crowder being the bulwark of European societies.

Such Crusaders, such defenders. Now man up and use violence again these tyrannical forces and free those oppressed Europeans, God's Warriors. that is if your not afraid of mans laws and only fear god.

Indiana Middle School Shooting

WTF is wrong with people...

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/25/acti...le-school.html

Authorities said two victims — an adult and a child — were injured in a shooting at a suburban Indianapolis middle school were taken to a hospital. The lone suspect is in custody.

The victims in the attack at Noblesville West Middle School were taken to hospitals in Indianapolis and their families were notified, Bryant Orem, a spokesman for the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office, said in a news release.

He said the suspect is believed to have acted alone, but provided no further details.
Indiana University Health spokeswoman Danielle Sirilla said an adult victim was taken to IU Health Methodist Hospital and child was taken to Riley Hospital for Children. She had no information on the seriousness of their injuries.

Helicopter footage showed dozens of police officers milling around the school. After the attack, students were bused to the Noblesville High School gym, where their families could retrieve them.

Among the worried parents who rushed to get their kids was Erica Higgins, who told WTHR-TV that she learned of the shooting from a relative who called her at home.

"I just want to get my arms around my boy," she said.

Higgins said her son was shaken up but knew little about what happened.

"I got a `Mom, I'm scared' text message and other than that, it was `come get me at the high school,"' Higgins said.

Gov. Eric Holcomb, who was returning from a trip to Europe on Friday, issued a statement saying he and other state leaders were getting updates about the situation and that 100 state police officers had been made available to work with local law enforcement.

"Our thoughts are with all those affected by this horrible situation," Holcomb said.

Noblesville, which is about 20 miles (32 kilometers) northeast of Indianapolis, is home to about 50,000 people. The middle school has about 1,300 students from grades 6-8.

The attack comes a week after an attack at a high school in Santa Fe, Texas, that killed eight students and two teachers.

I think it would depend on a lot of things I've stepped in puddles that are warmer than the air in the south, in summer. it probably has a lot to do with the evaporation rate, so relative humidity, surface area of the pool, sun exposure, etc. etc.. I wouldn't bet avoiding a bellyache on it. standing pools of water are bug and bacteria factories.

The hooks are made from bamboo toothpicks....common everyday scale things. You know the size. Cut them at an angle approx 1/3 the length down and trim the cut ends until you get an angle you like when together. Both are tied with cotton threads off of Luzianne tea bags laying here in my non-ashtray ashtray on my coffee table. These took ten mins each while watching a cheesy movie on Netflix.

Trying to figure out how to EMP proof my chair

My dad thinks I am wasting my time trying to figure this out but... it’s not his mobility at stake. So, I need advice on how to protect my extra power wheelchair from EMP. Which bits would fry? I thought the batteries but then I saw a video that said car batteries would still work. Like I said, I get that to most people this probably seems like a strange concern, and I have decided to be concerned anyway... so if you have advice other than don’t bother I would appreciate the help thanks. I can move around on the deck without my chair but I am pretty confined without it.

I am working with insurance to get a handbike attachment for my manual wheelchair because reciprocal handbike motion is much easier than pushing the wheels but until that goes through I rely on a power wheelchair

It was a simple question asked in a Facebook political group I am a member of, "Is the second amendment worth keeping if it cost more than 33,000 lives a year?" For such a simple question the answer is a little more complicated.

Can any tech gurus explain this to me?

So my iPad has been dropping wifi internet connection lately in every part of my house. At first it was once or twice a week so it was tolerable, but then it was every couple of minutes so I googled a solution.

The solution I found was to turn my brightness level up. My brightness level was on one of the lowest settings to prevent battery drain. Sure enough, turning my brightness level up worked. I haven't dropped connection in over a week.

How exactly can the brightness level affect wifi connection? This makes no sense,

Strategy and Tactics of Modern War

Reading the strategy employed by the British in the Malaya Emergency we see the effective combined use of political, economic and psychological elements to win against an insurgency.

Knowing these methods can enlighten people as how a counter insurgency would operate today.

The British found that the Chinese communist insurgents could associate freely with the Chinese population of Malaya and be supplied and sheltered by them. It made it possible for the communist insurgents to threaten and coerce the Chinese population as well.

The British isolated and brought in the population into secure compounds at night in a curfew. Anything outside the compounds was enemy.
The British made it a mandatory death penalty to supply the insurgents, however food and other supplies found their way out of the compounds to the insurgents.

The British then decided to centralise all food, and not only that, the population could only have cooked food in those compounds. Only guarded community kitchens fed people. There was no sacks of rice in private hands that could be smuggled out. Some Chinese smuggled out cooked rice, but by the time it reached the insurgents in the tropical humid whether, that rice would cause death by dysentery.

The Chinese insurgents began to starve, long supply lines through the jungles lead to the suppliers eating most of the supplies just in the attempt of bringing them in.

Then the British employed a very well connected Chinese business man, who became central in the counter intelligence effort. Through him the British discovered the communication network of the communist insurgents. Thin rolled paper messages were being transported by bicycle and the British began to intercept more and more of them, and turn the messengers themselves.

The intelligence coup allowed the British to deploy greater targeted military force and psychological warfare on the insurgents.
The British supplied the insurgents with radios that had homing beacons in them, which allowed the British aircraft to drop heavy munitions on insurgent camps even in the deepest jungle. The Chinese insurgents never discovered how the British could so accurately find them.

All this took a heavy toll on the communist insurgents and their plight was grim.

Then the British employed cash bribes, immunity and British citizenship with relocation to Britain to Chinese insurgents, in leaflet drops.
The starving, wounded and demoralised insurgents, looked at their commanders like a roast chicken with an enormous cash cheque attached to it.

The British were as good as their word giving generously to turn coat insurgents. Once the word got out, the insurgents began killing their commanders to claim their rewards. One insurgent brought the British the head of his former commander as proof.

At this point the insurgency was crushed, the combined political, economic and psychological strategies had done their damage.

Understanding this history will give people an idea of how a counter insurgency could be used against them. It highlights also where their preps and counter strategies are lacking.

California Voter Fraud..... Now I have proof.

So I got a piece of mail to my home in Pennsylvania... My wife (who used to live in CA) gets an "Application to Vote by Mail" From the County of Los Angeles...... To vote in CA!! WTF!?!

Yes she is a Democrat......

Her Drivers license is PA and she says the same thing happened when she lived in Florida as well.

So when people tell you that its just a "Conspiracy theory" that CA Dems practice voter fraud..... I assure you ITS NOT.

See for yourself...Notice our PA zip code (SE PA Area)

Teaching Young People Why We Prep

Over the past few decades there has been a shift in prepping education. Before the end of the Cold War, the United States government ran public education programs on TV. These were short infomercials talking about duck and cover.

Before TV, the government would publish posters and other educational material asking people to grow their own food. This was especially true during World War I and II. The more food people grew, the more food could be put towards wartime efforts.

Today, there is barely any talk about duck and cover, much less growing our own food. Except for natural disasters, the federal government has removed itself from prepping. The little bit of information that is published is a faint shadow of what used to be published.

Wireless Router Problems

I have an ASUS RT-AC3100 dual-band wireless router that has worked rather well up until recently (had it for almost two years now). I need to physically reboot the router every few days since the download speed is a fraction of what it should be, however the ISP modem gives me the full bandwidth I pay for.

QoS is enabled, and I think I have it set to 30MBit per device max -- however, we have phones (5), an iPad, a smart TV, xbox, a couple of laptops and occasionally work laptops connected.

The router does have a scheduling feature to reboot on your selection, so I have that set for every Wednesday and Sunday at 1AM.

Maybe I'm maxing out the QoS value and should lower it with the number of connected devices in the house. Not sure if newer iPhones have become less bandwidth hungry, but I doubt it.

Any ideas?

American infrastructure. California water supply risk

Their priority is to tell conservative America we are doing it wrong, while living on and ignoring an impending disaster.

Conservatives built those levees that give them their water. Then they drive conservatives out of the state. Brilliant plan.

All the fuss when that damn had a spillway problem last year. That will be nothing compared to this.

Can you imagine 25 million Californians surging out of that state when they lose drinking water?

CA wants free healthcare for illegals

CA has been floating proposals on single payer and other healthcare schemes for a while now, as part of their liberal utopia plan. The state boasts the 5th largest economy while now housing the largest number of homeless in the nation. Their government pension liabilities are off the charts and middle class are jumping off like fleas deserting a drowning dog!

https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics...nty-supervisor

Now, they are serious about giving illegal immigrants free healthcare! Pelosi, the other day said that MS13 were not animals and they had redeeming qualities, CA is a sanctuary state that is openly flouting the federal laws, and now this.

Somebody please tell me how it is possible that anyone with at least a single working brain cell could ever again vote for Democrats?

Democrats might as well put out their campaign slogan now --- MMOAA. Make Mexico Own America Again!

I'd consider changing my name to Fillzee Rodriguez Gonzales and moving there to get free healthcare... so will EVERY illegal in AmeriKa!

Thoughts?

Baltimore Cop Killed with Car

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2018/05/22...e-officer.html

It doesn't sound like she fired her weapon. I have to say this is a big concern for me as well considering I'm sure her department has the same policy as mine: You may not fire on a vehicle unless a deadly weapon other than the vehicle is being used against you. This is a result of insurance companies and bull**** propaganda campaigns and lawsuits that officers shouldn't ever be allowed to fire on cars because 'it's not a gun so it's not a threat.' The MSM false narrative BS has got to stop.

She had them at gun point trying to do a felony stop when they just stepped on the gas and ran her down. Sadly I'm sure the last thought on her mind was 'Do I give up my career and everything I have, or my life?'

Democrats are confused and in a panic

A. How is it possible that people in Congress don't understand the process and requirements for impeachment?

B. Is anyone alarmed that the leaders of this movement are from Texas and Tennessee?

We truly live in a strange world. IF Trump was in fact found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of committing an act that warranted impeachment, I think the vast majority of people would agree that the actions would be just...however since they are basing it on heresay and unverified rumors I find it completely ridiculous!

NAACP is an arm of the Democratic Party. They are against school choice, because choice helps low income and black students while undermining unions, which are employees of the Democratic Party --- as is the NAACP.

NAACP = Race Pimps and self-serving Democrats keeping blacks enslaved to the Democratic Plantation. Imagine the outcry when whites, who have been undermined by affirmative action and government policies to address white privilege, create the NAAWP. Wowser.

CS series radio kit - low cost SSB portable xceiver

(Images from both vendors websites)

This radio set, the CS Series, is the follow on the earlier KN-Q7A radio kit. It is a SSB only rig.

The radio is sold as a kit from China (http://www.crkits.com/) with a US dealer in Idaho, QRVTronics (http://qrvtronics.com/). It will take some time to assemble, but all parts are thru-hole and the manual well written, laid out and illustrated. Nearly as good as the old Heathkit assembly manuals.
(see assembly manual http://www.crkits.com/csmanual.zip) This is a ziped manual. Unzip inside of it's own folder.

If you deal with Adam @ CRKits in China, you will likely have something of a wait for your shipment. Adam is a full-time worker with this kit as as a sideline.
Larry @ QRVtronics , based in Sugar City, ID, ships quickly and via USPS - as an Alaska resident, this is something near and dear to me - not getting gouged on shipping. Larry will also build and tune the rig for you at a very reasonable price point.

In an unusual move for small radio vendors in China, Adam has a full documentation set, to include a schematic, all IN ENGLISH, available on line ( see http://www.crkits.com/csmanual.zip) . This manual is a work from many hams in the QRP community and is well done. (Manual can be had in Spanish version as well)

The build manual is done in sections, with testing at each step. the IC have sockets.

The full documentation was also the reason I got off the fence and sent my boxtops off the Larry for the radio.

Here is where it gets interesting.

The CS series is the KN-Q7A with a full band coverage digital VFO. The CRKits version is a single band. You can pick 80, 40, 20, 17 or 15 meter bands.

Output on 80 and 40 meters is at least 10 watts, so this is - by Amateur Radio Service convention, not considered a "QRP" radio.
Output on 20 M is 5 Watts, on 17 M - 4 watts and on 15 M is is around 2 watts.

The QRVTronuics version of the kit is available as a dual band kit, pick any two.
Optional frequencies are:
Base Radio (40 Meters) plus 80 Meters.
Base Radio (80 Meters) plus 40 Meters
Base Radio (40 Meters) plus 20 Meters
Base Radio (20 Meters) plus 40 Meters
Base Radio (20 Meters) plus 15 Meters

After several experiments, Larry has found that if you want 40 and 20 Meters, it is best to build the 20 Meter and add 40 Meters filter kit

In kit form - you get a filter assembly board that allows use the second band.

Now, here the cool part -

The VFO is controlled by an Arduino microprocessor and the code in also posed to the CRKits site. A full VFO kit and software loader for the microprocessor can be had from either vendor. The Arduino is supported by the IDE environment and this software can be had on line for free - part of the Arduino community. A very open bunch.

The software sketch (processor code) is also found on line at the CR kits site for you to download. .

Larry has the dual band sketch (code) for the processor setup if you go with the dual band radio.
I'm working with Larry to get a copy of the sketch (Arduino code) to allow modification for RX of WWV at 10 and 15 Mhz) This will be posted to the QRVtronics site when completed.

Since the summer is a busy time for me, I ordered an assembled 20/40 meter rig as these are the best pick fro my area. For the L48. the 40/80 Meter might be a better pick for NVIS type communication paths.

This is a compact radio set that uses a speak/microphone. This radio, as do many of these kits, lacks an AGC loop, so headphone use is not a good idea. This is where the speaker/mike shines. The only controls are volume, VFO and on/off.. On dual band units, there is a toggle switch for changing bands. No menus, no forest of buttons. This is a basic SSB radio.

BTW - the additional filter fits above the main board. The case, solid metal, has a slot to hold the boar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNpACphHCY0
Edward, KJ4FGI, hos posted a video of the KN-Q7A version of this radio in operation. The CS version is identical, other than the full range digital VFO.

See the QRVtronics website to see images of the large and small digital display options. Otherwise, the VFO frequency is displayed via a quirky dual color LED. There is a video on the CRKits webpage explaining how to 'read' the color changes. Clever, actually.

The radio is a common NE602/LM386 kind of setup. The final PA is a IRF-510, which is noted for being more tolerant of high SWR at the antenna. The radio also has a reverse polarity protection diode as well.

The vendor shows these specifications:
. Dimension: 153 mm x 97 mm x 40 mm, not including connectors and knobs
6.0 x 3.75 x 2.0 inches including feet

. Weight assembled: 12 oz, not including microphone The dual band version is slightly heavier.

. Power Supply: 12 to 13.8 V, 3 A
. Current consumption: 70 mA in RX and about 2 A in TX @ 13.8 V
. RF output: about 5-10 W PEP @ 13.8 V typical
. RF output for 15, 17 and 20 Meters will be between 1 and 5 watts typically
. Sandwich digital VFO integrated with the LED hole pre-drilled
. Innovative one LED frequency display
. Stable and accurate frequency like a crystal
. Both USB and LSB are be supported by changing BFO frequency in calibration mode
. Sensitivity: about 0.5 uV at 10 dB SNR
. UNBAL jumper added to intentionally break the balance of NE602 to allow more
convenient TX power peak alignment and antenna tuning
. Low dropout diode is used to allow a bit more battery life
. Final power amplifier changed to IRF510 and minor change in LPF circuit
. Speaker microphone added to the standard configuration
. IF filter: 6 pole crystal ladder filter + 1 pole post IF amplifier crystal filter
. IF bandwidth: about 2.0 KHz
. IF frequency: 8.467 MHz
. Connectors: Speaker, Microphone and Antenna
. Antenna Connector is: BNC type

Larry also offers a digital display mod for his kits at a small additional cost. I went with this as well.

My early bench testing showed that full band overage was as spec'd and power output specs were easily met on my rig.

NOTE - power output is input voltage dependent. On my 8xAA NiMH battery pack, power was 8 watts on 40M and just under 4 watts on 20M. On a fully charged AGM battery, full power was no problem.

Why would would readers here care?

This radio, and a small Near Vertical Incidental Skywave (NVIS) antenna should give you reliable comms on 80 or 40 meters, pretty much all day, within ~300 miles of your location. At least a General class Amateur Radio Service license is required to operate this legally. Coupled with low weight, simple controls and decent power on 80/40M (10 watts) this radio is in a niche by itself...

Total cost, with shipping and assembled for the dual band with digital display radio is under $300 right now.

My wife gets unhappy if I carry my KX2 outside to anything other than the RV, and I agree. This rig is solid, simple and low cost enough to to bush bash with at little risk.

Hope you found this of use.

Tell me about Kentucky

I have family near and dear to me who are moving there (Jackson county area). We live in central Oregon now. They seem to think they're moving to the Promised Land, but after talking to quite a few people who have spent some time there, the feedback I'm getting is pretty negative, particularly regarding a young family just starting out. Sounds like it might not be a bad deal for someone on fixed income to sell out here, buy a place there for half the price and retire comfortably, but the wages there for a young couple seem atrocious.
He is making nearly $20/hr here, and trying to get a job there for $12/hr. They think the lower cost of living there will more than make up for less income, and they hope to buy a home with land within the first year.

Someone talked them into this move, now I'm hearing so much negativity from literally every single person I've talked to from there, that I'm beginning have some serious concerns. So please tell me everything you know, the good, the bad and the ugly.

I have a lot of appts today so may not be able to respond until tonight. Thanks in advance!

Preparedness on a budget

Default Preparedness on a budget


So I've been preparing for the "Just in Cases" in Life i may be wrong but i feel as though the US is headed for WW3 and the UN or north Kora will be the ones to come and invade and attack because seriously unless mind controled, americans will not turn on americans so with that said i feel it is necessary to prepare just in case and test your items, food and items/products just in case. My boys i hv 3 we tried out some of out survival food and it all tasted like crap but the chili mac & beef was the winner. Tasted great easy to swallo didn't make us gag so i suggest to all to test an try out your stuff on another note
I am now a Single mother which makes prepping now more difficult but i still put aside when i am able. Im curious are there any single parents who find their selves in the same situation? I didnt have patents growing up so there are alot of skills i desperately need to learn like cleaning a fish or shooting a bow, basket weaving or trapping I would so love to learn. So this is where im at. My middle name is Sunrise so hi im new to this group not to the topic and subject of preparing

Scientific American, why whites stockpile guns...

I guess I fit the mold. I'm confident and secure in my ability to provide and protect, I have no need to be a hero to anyone, I'm quite well educated, my faith is my own business, I have no crisis what-so-ever and I'm not afraid of anyone.

Could it be that those of us with intelligence, capability, confidence and the aptitude to look beyond tomorrow or the next day, understand the need and purpose of certain tools. That mere possession of capable arms keeps local, state and federal government(s) on their best behavior. Only free men can own arms, and that is why we do it.

That we can pass down firearms to the next generation, and teach the skills necessary to utilize arms properly.

What am I afraid of? Not a damn thing.

EDIT: Scientific American just produced an article that contained no science what so ever. Instead, it was filled with opinion, random, cherry picked data and tried to make "skin color" a factor.

It could be that many of us work hard, are productive and have the disposable income necessary to purchase such tools.

Been looking at an m&p 2.0 4.6 inch .45. However seen the American on grab a gun but have not handled. Anybody have either or shot either. My 1911 is looking for a friend. The only thing about the m&p is the grip is so rough that I might have to sand it down a little if I get that one. Just looking for some personal input from other shooters. By the way grab a gun has the American for 339, the m&p for 419 and a lgs has the m&p for 550.

HOW MANY folks have heard the phrase "I never would want to live like that"

OR
"I would rather die when that happened"
When you bring up the idea of PREPPING and TEOTWAWKI events with other nonsurvival inclined folks.

It has always amazed me when I hear that come from so called "rational" people who would think it is just an easier way to "live" by dying instead of trying to survive and deal with a little hardship.

I just don't get it.

although it is my deep seeded belief that just as there are no atheists on a foxhole, when the angel of death is fluttering his wings those same folks will be screaming "I want to live." but then it will be off of YOUR supplies.

Honestly I'm trying this forum on for size.
Trying to find a place to hang out where the most active topics aren't political bashing and nonsensical drivel, although drivel can be entertaining, learn things, share things and participate.

I've lived in the East Puget Sound metro area just about all my life.
I've been in residential construction for 30 years, do most all my own auto repair, well not so much now, to many computers in them and it seems to be getting harder to crawl back out from under them.

I believe in doing it, building it, dealing with it, handling it myself,
i don't have time or patience for someone else to do a half ass job of it for me, do it right the first time or don't bother getting out of bed.

Hoping this forum doesn't make my butt look fat.
