Wow! You sound like a real life prepper!

Are you a DXer?

Does a 6 meter rig, rx and tx in an altoids can sound like a DXer? Longest I ever worked a station with it (CW obviously) was 400 miles, back when we had sunspots.

If I want DX, I'd put up a 100ft tower and slap a monster yagi on it.

I do like playing with milliwatt power homebrew transmitters.

Fun times. Keeps me off the streets. ;)

I can not see Obumbo doing it, as his Commie supporters also
rely on the Internet as much as anyone. Even the DUmmies would be pissed.

My question is...If Obumbo shuts down the Internet in the USSA, how will it effect the net internationally?
Other then FR and some Email contacts, a US shutdown would not have so much impact on me.

There are two kinds of nerd: first kind, those who were impressed by McGiver; and second kind, those who really know how to do what McGiver was pretending to do.

If you can’t make a radio from scratch, you aren’t a nerd of the second kind.
