Today is a good day to thank oneself for "prepping". The chasms between American factions widen ever further.

SCOTUS 9-0 said there was a case there, and it should be heard.

Be listening for Rahimi, Cargill, and Vullo.
Contested issues.
Rahimi-- domestic violence protection order strips 2A rights.
Cargill-- BATF can say bump fire triggers are unlawful.
Vullo-- New York Atty Genl can pressure businesses to do no business or recognize credit card transacions with NRA.

Biden already has a speech prepared, why???
If it were federal charges I would say Biden would be announcing he was willing to Pardon Trump and claim to want to take him on in an election, claiming to let the people decide. That would let everyone else remind the world Trump was a convicted felon and Biden was the only reasonable choice for prez. But it being a state charge he cannot do that.
So, my thinking is he will just scream about how bad Trump is and he should not be in the race as a convicted felon.
Or Biden will realize nothing he says will make him a reasonable candidate. Then note some prior undisclosed health issues and withdraw from the race letting Harris take the lead on it.
No matter what it is, I submit it will do no harm to Trump's chances and only damage Joe.

« Last post by grizz on May 29, 2024, 01:14:39 PM »Grizz: The Judge can only set aside the jury's verdict if they say he's guilty. The judge has the authority to say that he believes the jury didn't understand the law. Then the Judge can declare him innocent, but he can't declare him guilty. Years ago, when I learned that, I thought it was odd that he could set aside the jury's verdict but then when I found out that he could only declare the defendant innocent, it started to make some sense. I think it is something based on Thomas Jefferson's statement, "It is better to let the guilty go free than to convict an innocent man." Considering the corrupt Judge and the Prosecutor are against Trump, I don't see the verdict being set aside.
Good info, thanks
But the punishment is totally up to the judge, how will that pan out??

Radio / June 2024 ERIN SOI
« Last post by JohnyMac on May 29, 2024, 07:20:16 AM »NOTE: DIGITAL FREQUENCY CHANGE FOR THE SUMMER FROM 3.588 Mhz TO 7.110 Mhz.
The next ERIN(2) net will be Tuesday June 4, 2024, starting at 1900 hrs. eastern with the digital ERIN net. The PACE for that net is as follows,
1) At 1900E hrs. digital net (NCS is usually on frequency at 1850E hrs.) will commence.
Primary 7.110 USB Contestia 4/250, 1000 on the Waterfall
Alternate 3.5887.110Mhz USB Contestia 4/250, 1000 on the Waterfall
Contingency This email thread
Emergency Signal(1). Do I have your cell phone number?
When the Net Control Station (NCS) calls for check-in's this is the reporting format,
de your call, your call/name/location/W-TFC or No-TFC/ de your call
All traffic (TFC) will be passed via MFSK32. I suggest using the FLmsg ICS-213 or the AmRRON Custom forms.
NCS will convert mode from C-4/250 (Contestia 4/250) to MFSK32 and then instruct check-ins one at a time to pass TFC.
Once TFC is complete, NCS will return mode back to C-4/250 for the wrap up of the QSO.
2) At 2000E hrs. (I am typically on frequency at 1950E hrs.) will commence.
Primary 7.193 Mhz LSB or higher till clear air (New as May 2023)
Alternate 3.898 Mhz LSB or higher till clean air
Contingency This email thread

The above SOI will be used at first, if the interwiz is taken down through Executive Order -- Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions. Then we will develop and share a revised SOI.

(1) The Signal App is being used instead of text for emergency's. Go to my post When The Interwize Goes Dark
post, for an explanation.
(2) A quick history of ERIN (Eastern, Region, Information, Network). Just after President trump declared a state of
emergency, March 2020, I was asked by NC Scout (Brushbeater.org) to NCS a Covid-19 net, as we were
worried that misinformation, intentional or unintentional, was coming out of the main stream media. The net
was five days a week, Monday through Friday and it was a voice net (phone).
June of the same year, the net was reduced to three days a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. By August it
was reduced to one day a week, Tuesday evening's at 2000E Hrs.
As digital grew in popularity, I introduced a digital net at 1900E Hrs. the same night.
These two nets have been every Tuesday night since January 2021 with only a few interruptions due to
electrical storms in my AO.
The purpose of these nets is to do the following,
> Fellowship, connect hams with other hams,
> Testing of equipment and alternate modes,
> Pass traffic concerning ones AO. Traffic typically consists of,
- Localized weather report if out of the ordinary.
- Fuel availability & prices, petrol/Diesel.
- Civil unrest if any.
- Unusual Military movement if any.
- Other interesting local news.
> Training. To help hams become more confident in TXing & RXing, practice being a NC or ANC station, and all
other that applies to prepare for a localized or national drama, and
> Serve as a conduit to connect hams who have radio equipment to sell or looking for.
I want to thank all the hams that regularly participate on these nets. I am looking for NCS volunteers, in case one day I am hit by a bus.
