If Mexicans put this kind of industriousness to a positive use imagine how much less of a sh!thole their country would be.
¿Puedes oírme ahora?
Well... That's a far cry from the telecom hay days when if a Nextel, Nortel, or Ericsson engineers went missing, you knew which bars and police stations to call.

I’m not an expert on this type of comm, but I am in the business and I recognize “state of the art” when I see it. That stuff is “State of the art”.
All and drug and cartel money goes to the Bambi reelection committee. One Billion dollars of laundered dollars is peanuts. Wake up you idiots.
For those of you not familiar. A repeater is a radio device that takes in comms from one radio and then rebroadcasts it out for other radios to receive. Each repeater channel on your radio transmits on one frequency and then receives on another. What this means is that instead of having to have line of sight with each guy holding a radio, you just have to have line of sight with the repeater, which is normally positioned on the top of a mountain, building, or antenna.
It gets a lot more complex, but you can use some type of connectivity to hook repeaters together as well. This would be something your local and state police would have.
One comment I would make is that the number of repeater systems seized is quite amazing, especially if that was just along the Texas border. I would be surprised if DHS has that many repeaters along that stretch of the border.
Si! Muy bein!
Yes, that is very well said.
Seriously, are THAT many people still on drugs?
It seemed in the 1970s that 75% of the nation was stoned at all times, nowadays not so much.
I mean who is buying all these drugs?
So tomorrow they go Sprint, and laugh?
Capitalism, man. Capitalism.
The Mexican military, esp. their Marines, have been doing a good job fighting the drug cartels. The cartels made a big mistake by massacring 17 soldiers they captured in a truck that was traveling on an open road.
The Mexican military will shoot to kill and do.
A hardly “hoorah” to them.
“Some of the remote antennas and relay stations were powered with solar panels.”
Don’t be surprised to see US money helping out here, too.
And your local HAMS (Federally Licensed Amateur Radio Operators)
Lies! All lies! Big Sis promised the borders were secure and Mexican cartel violence would never come across.
Yo, Mexico, didn’t you learn from us that you don’t advertise what you’ve infiltrated?
Interesting.
This is *really* interesting in light of Michael Yon’s recent columns on smartphones and opsec.
This is the initial column
