    FACT OR FICTION?

    These people had to know the risks of living there. How can you not know. Evidently there is alot of people lived with their heads in the sand. Why would they continue to act like nothing could ever happen to them. And then blame someone else for the outcome of the event when it happens!!

    Anyone heard about this radio

    I found a Realistic TRC-453 in my dads garage, with side band. Is this a good radio? Who made them. It sounds good for sitting in a garage for 5 years. Is there any mods or is it a junk radio. Kick it back.. 10-4!!!
