How's things been for y'all? I've been a little busy and not working much on the computer, just the BB, and it's not the most convenient to browse here on that, although do-able. What's new with all y'all? Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and hope the holidays have gone well for you all...

Seems like it could be rather handy, but at the same time, almost like cheating...

I seem to recall Walsh who was also known as Audi0phile or something similar for a while if I remember correctly. Welcome back to the WWRF dude.

Care to elaborate a bit on that? A department that assisted the State police isn't quite the state police. What'd you assist the state police with?

At least they'll be fully able to sue the department if they really think they have a case. I'm sure there should be plenty of lawyers available, as a case like that stands to be worth some serious cash... Look, I'm 100% in favor of the police being held accountable when they do something...

Actually, you're just not thinking right. What I said was that despite the occasional bad cop, chances are there are a lot more good cops in a given area. Chances are if there is more than one or two cops in the area, there will be a good one around. Chances are the good cop wants nothing to...

I can't imagine if he was just lying there that they'd utilize a taser on the kid. Can you? I mean really? I'm just saying that if the kid were on the right stuff, he'd have had no problems moving or forcefully resisting. I guess the "alleged" thing was just an assumption, although a very...

I'm rather curious how someone does not happen to know what prompted them to fall 30 feet. I wonder if this guy was on something when he fell. The officers probably didn't just restrain the kid because he was allegedly on something. They had no way to know if the kid was armed. I don't...

Mind doing a copy/paste on the text of the article? I don't think it's a copyright issue as long as you leave the link up for the purpose of citing the source. It was just taking forever to load up on my connection so I gave up.

Any damage? The news is making a huge deal out of it apparently, is it a big deal? I mean I wouldn't want to have to deal with those things, which is why I'm glad I'm in Michigan. Hope all is well out there.

I'm not sure I like that. I'll be impressed when they make one dispense bourbon instead of ale. :biggrin:

Those are some nice towers. I wonder if there's a shot of them unsupported. I bet if you tried to put that tower up in your neighborhood, very few people would notice with that sort of decoy available.

The FCC needs to also realize the most efficient thing to do is go after the big distributors and/or known troublemakers, while leaving the small fries like internet forums (us, QRZ, etc) and radio users who aren't causing problems alone. I think the policy should be permanent banning for...

It was pretty neat. Nice clear sky here. I would've got some pictures, but my tripod was elsewhere. My only complaint was the temperature was around 0°F or maybe a bit below. Summer time would've been much better, as I'd have been outside for the whole event.

I think it's too late for the FCC to try anything with regard to regulating 11m. I think it's enough to make sure what happens on 11m stays there. Are there some first class operators on 11m? Hell yes there are, but there are also a lot of horrible operators who routinely try to block...
