Don't let the math & eng part dissuade you from getting your ticket, thats why there are diff classes of license! If you have a decent memory you could literally memorize the tech question pool & pass. I'm a broadcast engineer by trade & extra class so I can geek out on the science, but that's...
It depends on the impedance of the hf antenna on the band you will be using. If its 50 ohms you may only loose 2db @ 100ft (mind you, even -3db is loosing half your power heating coax) but based on the tuner I'm guessing the antenna is multi-band and non-resonant. This can easily present an swr...
Excellent write up, I have often pondered this myself and my brother, living in the peoples republic of IL, is now doing the same. I think I'm leaning towards a 357 if we are to believe the results of BBTI. The 357 out of a rifle is screaming at ~2000fps while the 44 is doing 1500, so a slight...
Wow 9 names on that list from Franklin?? I couldn't imagine meth-heads running around there, seemed like a nice clean town the few times I've been through. I guess you never know what's lurking off main street
Anyone make a "lightbulb run" to buy up the last ones?? What happens to the leftovers tomorrow? I recall the facists saying that "specialty & artistic lights" would be exempt, but with the 45 lumen / watt rule I guess that was just some BS to sell this crap. And I've yet to have an led lamp last...
I was wondering this very thing as I scrolled down the thread. So it looks like the US imports are safe? (Except basmati) I could eat rice daily, but my A1C says otherwise. Now when China invades Taiwan, then we may have a rice import issue
Can't drive past there on rt2 without reminiscing a bit, I think its a construction supply house now. But not to hijack thread, I did see a brass screw barrel cap& ball at an anique store
Everytime I drive past on rt2 can't help reminiscing, good times... I think its a construction supply house...
Sorry to hear that, condolences. God called my Dad home last year, its tough. But knowing that the suffering is over & they are in the Kingdom of God can give you an enigmatic sense of peace. Our parents will always live on within us & our memories. When someday this finite life ends & eternity...
The socialization aspect was a major concern (not during covid lol) but as it turned out *many* other families have done the exact same thing we did, in droves. I suspect that with the current indoctrination insanity the numbers will continue to grow. There are quite a few co-ops / groups out...
I swear the whistle pigs wait till I'm gone a few days & invade... This is #3 of the under porch invaders. Anyone else use tech to ease the hunt? I stuck an el-cheapo wireless motion detector outside the hole, bell rings & 1 min later I'm looking through a scope. Minimag hp took this one
We started homeschooling during the pandemic & never went back. Kids take proctored exams every semester & now test out 18-24 months ahead of their ages. Don't underestimate your ability to teach your own kids, even though the teachers unions cast aspersions on "those dumb parents who think they...
I haven't seen a firearm in an antique shop for a long time around here, nice finds. Closest the region had was Fetlas barrel-o-guns, miss those days! I guess its too much hassle for the antique stores to get an ffl?
Did he try slugging the barrel yet? I was in the same predicament with a mosin, full choke 12ga at 50yds had a tighter pattern without the keyholing lol. What I found was the last 6 inches of barrel was really trashed (90yrs of steel cleaning rods?) but beyond that it was "serviceable". Sooo I...
I bought one years ago, it was cheap & wife liked the fit. It shot well & was reliable, but last year after maybe 1000 rds it developed a timing issue. Sounds funny to say as with timing you'd usually think "revolver" but the 75 & clones have an intricate timing between DA & SA sears. I tore it...
