    Chinease Imports

    If you can make a high enough quality product with a high level of customer support, and provided you have a sufficient market for a product, you could make an American made radio company successful. You would probably not be able to make it work on CBs or even lower end HAM radios since there...

    New toys...

    Just had to share the fact that I have ordered some new toys this morning. Mainly a Yaesu FT857D with TXCO-9 high stability crystal, a dual band mobile antenna and a switching power supply. I still need to decide which base antenna to use, whether I should get something such as the Arrow...

    Tech license, cost? How long?

    You'll want to communicate with the VEC's administering the test to find out what they charge for administering it so you don't get caught off guard. Should be somewhere between roughly $10 and $15 typically however.

    Where's the Hurricane?

    Raw material costs are one of the issues. Speculators, investors, and others known as commodity traders set the price for crude oil globally. When the price of crude oil goes up, the price of producing finished products goes up, and one would have to be stupid to believe the companies aren't...

    wATCH YOUR BUTT WITH CINGULAR WIRELESS!!!

    I decided to go with Verizon around last January, and have not been disappointed. Most of the people I know are on Verizon, so it was a fairly easy decision since all calls to other Verizon wireless customers aren't counted against your minutes. I'm in Michigan, and have been to the Upper...

    Here is a good Clinton link.

    I think the point was Clinton acted on the same or similar intel to what GWB did, but Clinton's was somehow righteous, but GWB's actions are not. Basically the left approve of things the left do, but if the right tries the same thing they get burned at the stake...

    America

    Just to clarify I was referring to the Teddy Kennedys, the Diane Feinsteins, and the Hildebeast (Hillary Clintons) of the Government rather than President Bush and the some of the others. I don't agree with some of President Bush's policies, but they seem to be more inline with reality than...

    they dont do this in america.....

    I'm not sure I understand what that's all about. I mean what's wrong with what this officer did, other than risk his life with that crazy maneuver? Upon further review I don't think they should've discharged whatever weapon they were using in a potentially populated area. Spike strips or...

    V for Vendetta: This movie is a must see!

    I've seen some previews for it, and I figured it'd be pretty good. I may have to open the wallet, and go see it.

    Taliban

    I still think someone around here watched the StarWars saga too much and started to believe what happened in there is something similar to reality... There is no emperor, or conspiracy IMO. Although if someone figures out how to use "force lightning" I want to learn also... Forgot to add...
