apparently only democrats have their cellphones lost or stolen.
1. Repeal all laws, regulations, amendments and government to 1900
2. This is supposed to be government “by WE the People” right? ok then any law these governmnent cretins try to pass MUST be approved also by a vote of at least 66% of the registered voters in a county, State or , Country or 66% of the voting population. if a law is SO needed then surely 66% of the people will also go to vote and approve it .
3. any new law must only fit on a page and be easily understood.
Any one with a brain think that the Constitution intended for all the members of ONE party the democrat party to pass a 3000 page bill called Obamacare on Christmas eve without even them reading it? And they did it behind the people's back. no I don't think so
I love building QRP rigs :-)
And more interesting stuff as well.
I was taught to code by three old guys. The slowest could only key about 30 wpm. The other two could do over 40 and they were about 90. The one worked on the railroad when young.
They thought my 5 to 10 wpm was pathetic.
I surely do love CW :-)
Ah yes, I can identify with that. I have about had the course.
Problem is that you almost have to have a special soldering station and a stereo microscope to build anything. ;)

I was in a line of cars going to a HamFest once.
I started sending CW with the horn and soon everyone was doing it..lol HI HI
That is neat....
I used to ‘practice’ code while sitting at stop lights and doing the license plates.....
Wouldn’t take all that long till I was back up to 50+ WPM
I do a little ‘copying’ now and then...kind of rusty but the base is still there.....
I was ‘different’ as I could copy faster than I could send...Well, guess most of us could BUT I admitted it. Had a terrible ‘fist’, the Vibroflex was a life saver for me even today I ‘have to’ use a Ball Mouse as with the slider I start running out of (table) top space.
I’ll be working on it for sure.
we also need a way to communicate with other people without the government being able to spy on us, some other Internet using cell phone towers or other devices

I have the Hot Air Workstation and the 30x stereo microscope lol
Remember when ‘they’ told us that “LowJack” would help prevent car theft etc. When pointed out that it would allow the same people that tracked your stolen car to track every time you went to the beer joint, ‘they’ said “OH no! we wouldn’t do something like that! Honest” Yeah, right, bet your bippie someone had their fingers crossed.
Even “The Wire” and Tony Soprano figured out early that EZ Pass was just a good way to be tracked AND both ‘crews’ believed in the ‘burner phones’.
Smart GUN kill switch could become federal law.
Opps sorry - wrong thread/s
You mean a government who turned it’s massive spy machine on law abiding Americans, would do this?
I have a Morse program that I wrote for the cheap 8-pin DIP Atmel Tiny 85 processor. It has a capacitive touch straight key pin and two pins for paddles for a programmable keyer.
Has a few unusual features like storable messages, random code practice..etc
It can listen on your favorite frequency and watch for your call and beep you to let you know...or you can set 50 other strings to watch for. Uses a 25 cent LM567 chip as the tone detector...the Tiny85 is an 80cent chip. so it’s a cheap device.
Can send a 256 char string that is encrypted...this goes out as a side channel that uses very slight variable spacing and element lengths to carry the message. Sounds like ordinary Morse on the air. I have not used this...just tested it between two units connected by wire...encryption is verboten on Ham freqs as you know... but I had left over flash memory and filled it up with this. A received encrypted 256 char message is placed in the flash memory using the boot-loader self programming feature as there is very limited eeprom in the tiny85.
Would have put in more features but the Tiny85 only has room for four thousand 16bit assembly instructions.
I may write a version for the Atmega1284p which has a lot more I/O pins and room for 64,000 instructions...and a nice 4k of eeprom.
What? Did someone cut off your fingers?
I’m for it if they place an adequate amount of a powerful explosive inside the phone and when it is stolen it can be remotely activated to negate the value of the phone and the thief .... no repeat offenders. The real value is that you wouldn’t have to do it for all, just a random number of the phones.
Android has this built in and I assume Apple does too. Are people really this stupid and uninformed?
