Get your ears open, we have another date coming (my tin foil hat's on)

[Brownwater Riverrat 13]

You guys down south on HF keep your ears on around the border. The 11th is near and all this talk about our little brown friends conspiring to do us harm again might have them squelching. So if you speak Farsi, espanish whatever you might pick up some chatter while turning the dial. I started spinning yesterday by my range has put my abroad, England, South Africa so far but I'm going the wrong direction, I'm just listening......... I need to be listening at night and in the wee hours. But who knows what you might pick up anywhere around the US right now. WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE SCATTERED around our backyard. Bacpacker.........you got that rig up yet????????

There could be anything on UHF/VHF/HF so don't rule it out. Stranger things have happened.........gear up, ruck up, and don't forget to tell your kids to be ready for mom and dad to "maybe" come and get them early, it's a school day.


I hate feeling like this..............

My commo guy has been working funny shifts, so havent been able to see where we stand as far as our commo situation. I did have one of the guys come over and we tested ranges on our handhelds, and found them to work out to about 5 miles with our geographical situation. Better than nothing, but we really need to step up our commo in our group I think.
I have a friend who has been doing the same thing BWRR, he insists that there is going to be another event coming up on the 11th, While I hope not, Im going to be with my military unit that weekend, so at least I know I will be close to home and have plenty o backup!

[Brownwater Riverrat 13]

Hey did you ever test that rig I sent you?

Just In Time: Bought a box of 357, curious exactly how well that "one shot stop" myth holds up...

Getting ready to put my hamstick dipole up, keep forgetting to stop and get some more hose clamps so I can mount the "mast" to my basketball goal post.

duct tape will work in a pinch...

jus' sayin'...

[bacpacker]

Rat, sadly no mine ain't up yet! Ive still got grapes growin and cant tear out everything so I can put up the post I am mounting my antenna to. I need to see if i can get anything going soon. I do have a buddy I work with that works HF regular. But he mostly works 17M and talks into Europe and south America mostly. Never heard him mention Mexico before. I'll check with him and get him to listen up.

I do agree with you though. I think there will be activity of some type, somewhere. I hope its not in the states. With the missing malyasion plane, the ones stolen in Libya, and of course the wide open southern borders. I dont have a good feeling right now. Throw Ukraine, Iraq/Syria, isreal/hamas, and the growing world financial issues and who knows what could come together over the next few weeks if something big happens on the 11th.

Damn, I gotta try and get something up and running.

[Sniper-T]

I've been asking around... no one has heard of this shit up here... I hope to God that it is a pile of crap!

That said.... I will make sure my ducks are in a row next week!!

God bless brothers and sisters....

Some folks just don't know how easy all this can be to rig antennas, "throw and go's" as I would call some of them and get your self up and running. You really don't need to get your license if you just want to listen. But hey once you're hooked it's hard to get the barb out of your jaw. Still, EB my ears are open when you're ready for a "brief" contact just PM me and we'll do the dance. In the mean time. My ears are on, and doing the intell thing.

[bacpacker]

Rat, put me in the loop on what freqs you gonna try. If I can get something up, I'll try and get in to.

[helomech]

I am not worried at all about the missing planes. I don't believe there is any way they could get them into the U.S. We fly offshore for a living, and if our transponder stops working or does not give them proper information they will have F-15's on us quick. A unregistered jet would have no chance.

I'm hitting the Yellow pages and "letting my fingers do the walking" I'm going to roll that dial and listen to anything I can pick up. If it's just two old men bullshitting then I'm rolling on. BUT if what they are talking about isn't making any sense it will cause my ears to perk up and hold for awhile. It's like scanning the ocean for something, it's there you just have to know how to look for it. Quit trying to look for what's supposed to be there, look for what's NOT supposed to be there.

If you listen to someone's conversation the same rules will apply. As I said before it doesn't just have to be HF they can be on UHF and VHF as well. There's a training camp in your side of the state, there's one up in Dover near Ft. Campbell. Hell maybe I should just get out my spotting scope and do a recon and see if they are sporting any antennas? Sounds like a road trip to me, no laws broken here, just out for a hike.


By the way did any of ya'll catch the Brett on Fox news last night? He had 3 of the WARRIORS that were in the fire fight at Bengazi. If you didn't you better watch it.......if you can sit through it. I watched about 15 maybe 20 minutes was all I could handle. Words cannot express what I was feeling or how I feel right now. But if a shit load of people do not go down for this then.............you figure it out.

So, they just stream in with a regular flight, squawking the same code. If the radar breaks out two different targets with the same code, it will be interpreted as a mechanical or software error. At distance, they could just turn off the transponder and the radar wouldn't detect a primary target at all.

[bacpacker]

Rat, I was referring to your attempts with EB. If I can get something up, I plan to just scan for activity.

I recorded the fox show last night. I didnt want to watch that then try to get some sleep. Just the teasers tghey showed earlier pissed me off.

Personally I think if they used a platform of this type it wouldn't be during this time frame, given the threat level at this time (9/11). Also the approach path is another story, finding the least path of resistance as in which border country has the worst record for flight security control. I'm sure they also have recruited some geek weenies that are smart enough to manipulate some IFF gear. I'll shut up because I could run a full blown scenario that could get me booted off the site here. But it's not rocket science. I'll leave it at that.........but I do know that through certain resources that all bases and LEO's are on a elevated threat level......for once here. But My bet is our brothers and sisters overseas are ass out again somewhere fuck you very much.

No that would not work. We fly in all the time, and they are the ones to tell us that our transponders are not working. They would know it was two aircraft, and if the transponder turned off they would be all over that flight. Our radar systems can tell the difference.

I gotta get EB to coordinate with me first and on that note IS THERE ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE WHO WANTS TO DO A COMM CHECK WITH ME WHILE WE ARE AT IT?????????? NOW WOULD GOOD TIME AFTER ALL THIS DAMN BS WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT "SETTING UP THE NET" as Ross Perot said "I'm all ears"

PM me and we'll be good on OPSEC. Thanx

[ElevenBravo]

Damn... I still need to get a mic, or you need to learn CW... One of the two! HA HA!

I know bro, Im slow...

"You're killing me Smalls" you want me to learn a whole new language and all you have to do is buy a cheap ass mike. Give me your address and the type radio you have and I'll find one and it send it to you ......geez. I know I'm a procrastinator, hell I thought I was the King.

[Socalman]

Though this thread has gone stale it contains some good info. I would however say that we all should be concerned AT ALL TIMES about what those a-holes are up to. IMHO, they will probably not try to hit us with airliners again and they will probably not be looking to do it on a Sept. 11.

Think of all the possible scenarios that could destroy major buildings in this country. I know those A-Holes are not dumb but I will not post any of my ideas of possible ways to hit us just for OP SEC. Be vigilant at all times for what seems out of place!
