Re: Prep for down power Grid
Very interesting & thought-provoking vid. Thank you, Boots! I wish that 100% of the CFL members & their friends & relatives would take emergency preparedness seriously. We could certainly have some informative classes & hands-on demonstrations. But, alas, it seems as if people have no comprehension ...

Re: Love the post
Hi, Boots & Everyone, We hope this finds all of you well. Thanks for your post & your question! I wish I could give you a simple answer to your question about how long is required to become effective. It mainly depends on how much time you put toward amateur radio. GOK how busy all of us are. Here ...

Re: EMP Protection
Look online for low-cost DIY projects for EMP protection, & you'll find a gazillion. Metal trash cans Metal boxes inside metal boxes A can inside a can Old or busted microwave oven Etc., etc., etc. To verify that you've made an EMP-resistant enclosure, place your cell phone inside it & try to call ...

Re: Low-priced bare-bones CCW class Sunday
A couple of us attended this class. It was disappointing, & I don't recommend attending any of their future offerings. :? Arizona no longer requires applicants to qualify at a shooting range -- this is very, very bad! This course spent about an hour on selling stuff instead of providing instruction ...

Re: EMP Protection
Kinda 'spensive stuff! The ferrite filters for your battery & battery cables? They must be kidding. Wrong location: Wrong application; Waaaay more $$ than what's available elsewhere. Looks like this outfit is charging a little more than 3x the typical prices for their materials. The sky isn't really ...

Please note: Produce may be near the end of its storage life. Use it, freeze it, can it, dehydrate it, vacuum pack it, or ...

Re: Love the post
Hey, Boots, I wish others of our group shared your insight. Your interest in amateur radio is well-founded; if only from a preparedness point of view, it's spot on! Then there's so much more it offers. The study time needed to get your Technician level license really depends on your level of ...

The basics of amateur radio
Hello, All, On our previous social media venues, amateur radio did not transmit or receive much excitement; only 4 CFL members pursued & received their amateur radio operator's license. I'm baffled by the apparent lack of interest, but here's another shot at it. Amateur radio is a subcategory of ...
