I'm CERTAIN we talked to a few hams. Talk about Boom Boxes ... hearing them come over the line after scratchy semi-drivers was enough to shatter the overhead window of the Vista Cruiser.
Far cheaper to buy an old Micor or Mastr on ebay for $25, no? :)
It's possible to defeat this with electronic devices. Careful engineering is required, which I do not know the details of, nor would I relate it here if I did know.
Far cheaper to buy an old Micor or Mastr on ebay for $25, no? :)Far cheaper that way - but who has the gear, let alone the knowledge anymore, to 'tune' those up?
And would Askel5 understand those terms if I were to use them first out of the box?
Much better 'deals' than those on Ebay can be had at Dayton, too ...
Hell of a way to get a hysterectomy.
Disassedher, I'd imagine.
Don't kid yourself.
No mention of the static electricity pulses for unstable compounds or of the microwaves to remotely heat up explosives, I see, but some manner of auto-destruct did seem to be leaked. Ahh, nothing quite like setting up an early 1900's van de graph generator within 50 feet of Nitroglycerine...
Early in the war on terrorism, the Pentagon acquired from Israel special electronic equipment that can detonate roadside bombs from a safe distance.The Pentagon is tight-lipped on what types of technologies it has sent to Iraq to counter the ever-present improvised explosive devices (IEDs).
But a source tells us the Israelis perfected a truck-mounted electronics suite that sends a radio pulse across a designated area to detonate any hidden IEDs. They have used it to explode bombs still attached to Palestinian suicide bombers. The system is not foolproof, however. The remote control device is sometimes on a frequency not covered by the pulse.
I was just slightly ahead of the curve, it seems ... if the subsequent "Work Accident" articles posted on FR are any indication.
