  1.   Well you have the group that typically wear masks, use fake names, and use stolen getaway vehicles. Then, you have the group that practically tries to get caught by broadcasting who they are to the world.

  4. Dabnaggit!   When I first saw your thread title I thought you were counting down the days until Obama's second term was up, then I did a quick mental think and realized that that was much, much too soon.
  5.   From what I've read, if you are using some sort of tumbling media such as corncob/walnut/etc, most people leave the primers on because (I've read) depriming them first can increase the chances of media getting caught in the flash holes. However, since I soaked my brass in Lemishine, I used the Lee Universal Decapping Die. One thing to always remember, in my opinion, would be to never use your reloading dies to decap dirty brass. That will get your dies dirty very quickly, and could also damage them if there was a rock or something lodged in one of the pieces. You don't have to worry about any of that with the Lee Universal Decapping Die.  
  6. [quote name="TankerHC" post="1122871" timestamp="1394491295"]How come no one has mentioned it may have been hijacked? Last year there was an article about some African country having a brand new Airliner stolen, I think it was Ethiopia, I remember posting "How can Ethiopia afford brand new 787's? I recall when that plane was stolen, it was seen going down the runway and they couldnt track it, it just vanished and they are still looking for it, or were a few months ago. [/quote] That was my first thought...that it had been hijacked and redirected to an alternate location. Probably would have heard about it though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  9. [quote name="wileecoyote" post="1122658" timestamp="1394464315"]I didn't participate last time because they were already sold out. But I just checked their site now and it didn't say limit of 2 anywhere. Nor did it show pics or a detailed list with specific quantities of all the good stuff to be sprinkled in, and I didn't see a maximum number of bags to be sold. So the odds of finding a valuable item in any bag were impossible to calculate this time around, but I still purchased 9 kits, just enough to get free shipping, and I hope to get enough cool stuff to giveaway to friends, family, and students which alone will make it worth the investment. If I get more than that then it's a true blessing.[/quote] Wow. Will be very curious to see what you get, and jealous if you get something awesome! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. So tempting. They say on their page that they will take great care to insure that if you order two, you don't get two of the same item.

  12. He had a lot of stuff today...even at closing. Certain things sold out I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. So I wonder if that means I should use or trash them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Never mind, looks like MURS is out of the question too legally. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Anyone care to touch on MURS and whether it is legal to use without a license and one of these radios? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. So, hot water and Lemoshine for about 24 hours. Rinsed very well and dried by placing on top of the dishwasher. Some of the brass has a pink stain/corrosion. Is this acceptable and will it reload ok? Really just want a stainless tumbling setup but that is a few months away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. [quote name="Photoguy67" post="1121592" timestamp="1394241639"]Let me start by saying, I am NOT familiar with frs rules. But my first concern in that case is if the radio is "type accepted" for operation on the frs bands. Most handhelds can be operated on low power, usually 1 watt, but in the case of commercial operations a ham radio is not type accepted and therefore unlawful to transmit on that band. But like I said at the beginning, I don't know much about the frs rules, it could be different.[/quote] I do not believe it is approved by the FCC on those frequencies but I could be wrong.

  20. But I thought that FRS regulations by the FCC limite d you to about half a watt? Just something I read. But if I could "step down" in power then I would love that if legal. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. The big question is whether or not you get expelled for life if mimicking either automatic or suppressed fire without applicable approval slip.
  22. A few years back I purchased a Grundig G3 World Traveler. It is on Ebay right now. They run about $90 new, I'm hoping to get $40 for it.   I purchased the radio not really knowing what to expect and was quite overwhelmed with how complex it was. It sat in the case for a long time. I was disappointing to find out that (at least I don't think) it doesn't have NOAA capabilities and also does not pickup the frequency range that EMS/Police/Fire/etc use. Fast forward to now. A week ago a co-worker was showing me his Ham radio. I understand that it is for a different purpose than for the above radio. However, I think these radios actually meet my criterion more. Now, let me state that I fully understand misusing these radios without license or outside of FCC regulations will get you much unneeded attentions from the FCC.   I am thinking about purchasing something like this Baofeng.   My intended uses are (and I believe this will do all of them):   Monitor local EMS/Police/Utility frequencies Monitor NOAA/Weather Alerts in bad weather Listen to FM radio Potentially become licensed for Ham in the future I did some searching, and I believe that you can (when programming channels) disable the transmit function for a channel. This would, for example, allow me to listen to local emergency frequencies without accidentally transmitting. I like that idea.   I notice this radio covers the GMRS/FRS frequencies. I also am under the understanding that it is against FCC regulation to use this radio on FRS frequencies because its transmitting power is much more than you friendly consumer FRS radios. However, you could theoretically get away with it on GMRS frequencies if you are licensed for those because GMRS specs allow radios much more powerful than this. Is that correct?   I'm interested in becoming licensed for Ham, but mainly because I like the idea of being able to communicate with my wife when the cell networks experience trouble, etc. This rarely happens but I do recall a time or two when the weather was bad and either knocked out cell towers or they were simply overwhelmed.   I currently own this (GXT900VP4)  pair of GMRS/FRS radios. I use them for NOAA capability.   Perhaps I would be better suited with a handheld scanner? The $30-$40 pricepoint seems attractive to me. I pretty much just want to replace the Grundig that I purchased with a new toy.    
  23. I am seemingly also having this issue, except I seemingly do not have the option for renewing it.
  24. [quote name="DaveTN" post="1120687" timestamp="1394062788"]No we don’t; their ammo is junk and so are their guns. Claiming stuff is good just because it is cheap is what got us in this mess. I may have to buy foreign made TV’s and computers, but I sure don’t have to buy foreign made guns or ammo.[/quote] I knew someone would say this and was waiting for it. 1) One Word: AK-47 2) Anyone that currently purchases Russian "crap" that at some point in the future can no longer purchase it, what do you think will happen to the price of the superior ammo that you purchase?
