If you have ever wondered about the government’s ability to control the civilian airwaves, you will have your answer on November 9th.

On that day, federal authorities are going to shut off all television and radio communications simultaneously at 2:00PM EST to complete the first ever test of the national Emergency Alert System (EAS).

My question would be this. What sort of subliminal message will they be braodcasting instead of the regular signal. Ok, you can stop laughing now. I know, I know it sounds totally whacko to even think this, but I've had to rethink alot of what I've known in my life, and I do not trust this.

It really is a good idea to do this...just to make sure it works. And if in some future time he does use it to do just that, then you can say “I told you so”.

Do you promise to BLOAT this weekend, just so we won't be quite so sorry if we do have to say "we told you so"?

And don’t forget you’re cell phone soon.

New phones will have an ability to hear from Dear Leader, and you cannot opt out. So, he will be able to reach out and touch you anytime he feels like it.

Happy thought ain’t it.

On the other hand, 1,500 watts into a half-wave dipole on 7.2kHz has a tendency to disrupt everything from cable boxes, at&t uverse, telephone lines, computer speakers and a whole lot more....

Ah, this man has the answer to "What's the frequency, Kenneth?".

That reminds me of a morning when I didn’t need to be up early. I lived right down the block from a fire house, and sometime in the morning, sirens from two trucks sounded like it was an air raid. I’ve never woken up with a start and nearly fell out of bed like that before.

Hello, this is his Excellency, Supreme ruler of the US

He's made us the laughing stock of the planet. He's brought his guns to the fight. He's trashed the Constitution and circumvented Congress. He's got SCOTUS evading his eligibility. He's put the economy into a tailspin. He's put people out of their homes and out of work, so yeah, this would be the next step with canceling elections soon to follow.

“That’s okay. We are also in preparation.”

Yes we are. Just bought another new gun today. Between My Son in law and I, we now have 25 assorted Rifles, Shotguns and handguns. Various Calibers and sizes for different purposes.
Cases of ordinance, in a dry hidden location. Canned food, a couple hundred head of cattle, ATVs, Several horses, a couple of 4WD vehicles, a Gas storage tank, a diesel storage tank, a couple of generators.
Don’t have a HAM radio yet, but do have a couple of CB’s around from driving days. May need to look into that HAM radio thing though.
I’ve believed this jerk in the WH was going to try something along these lines since the day after he was elected. All you have to do is look at his friends to know what he has up his sleeve. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Louis Farrakhan, and George Soros want this country destroyed. Every one of them has said so publicly. Why would we not believe their buddy in the WH isn’t going to try? He even said he was going to fundamentally change the country. Why would we not believe them?
I’m not looking to start a conflict, but I plan on being ready when one breaks out.

Keep Your Powder Dry!

Wrong movie. That was “Enemy of the State”.
“Minority Report” was Tom Cruise.
Same story though as “The Net” with Sandra Bullock.
We are all so many dancing electrons, all someone has to do is change or shut off the music to seriously screw with your life.

They seem to have plans for more than once a year.

"The FCC will set up a special website to inform the public about the test, and Barnett says his office has begun holding meetings with other government agencies and industries that will transmit the warning to resolve any operational issues. “After this first test, a periodic national test will likely be routine and may come at different times just like the weekly and monthly tests do now,” Barnett says.

That baby’ll have to be about 12 miles long to load up resonantly, though.

Not true. 468/Freq will give you the electrical length for a half wave. Double it for a full wave. I'm on 7.178 most evenings, I have a 126 foot (physical) half-wave dipole, I can fold it and make it a full-wave.

I think I've had just one too many tonight. I meant to say I can double the length of the wire and fold it and have a full-wavelength antenna. Lots of ham's do just that, others use wire and resonators. Full wire length antenna's will always outperform wire/resonators.
