PARTICIPANT OBSERVATION
For Preppers, the Apocalypse Is Just Another Disaster

The prepping movement has a bad image spurred by right-wing extremists. But preppers are a largely misunderstood bunch.

Radios are mentioned only briefly: "… the usefulness of short wave radios …".

Photobucket want to start charging me to link my photos to other sites.

There are many free alternatives:

P.S. I notice a paperclip adjacent to your two last posts. However I cannot see any photos.

* WinPCC-Sark100.exe.7z  Downloaded this file but my Winrar is reporting the file is corrupt. Anybody having the same issue.

I am on a Mac and cannot really do much to help. The file downloaded OK, but cannot be opened on a Mac. Try removing the suffix ".7z" before opening, so your PC understands it's a .exe file may help.

Can see a post making reference to the software being attached to a post but cannot find the software there ,, done search ,no luck... can you please direct me to the correct page to download this software thankyou.

There is a piece of software for downloading attached to this post:

Hello. Connection is through a simple USB cable. I'll attach the software to this post.

I find myself using it all the time... Very useful piece of gear...

I have tried to update the forum software but will need to update my database server first.

I am an administrator of a large SMF. For several years, I easily updated the whole thing myself every time SMF posted an update, but I was unable to update from SMF 2.0.13 to 2.0.14, however much I tried.

Now the latest version is already 2.0.15, and I am at a loss how to get there from 2.0.13. Any advice appreciated.

I show here two of the best radio receivers made during WW2.
E52b and Lo6K39a.
Lo6K39a is probably the world's best TRF receiver.
E52b is the best receiver made during the war.

Many questions to ask about this story, and questions are also being asked in this group:

You want to learn Samuel F. B. Morse's (shown above) most famous code. The South Canadian Amateur Radio Society (SCARS) wants to help. Mark Kleine N5HZR developed this series of web pages to help you learn the 40 characters of the International Morse Code in about 20 lessons. Additionally, you can continue to practice hearing your code for another 20 lessons. In the first lesson we introduce two characters, the letters K and M. Think of this as if you're learning the sounds 'momma' and 'dada', as an infant. You'll listen to these characters, learning to hear, and differentiate their two sounds. Then, you'll come back each, and every day (or two) and listen to 2 new characters in 5 lessons of 5 minutes each. You don't have to listen to all 5 at one time. You can listen to a couple the 5 minute sessions at breakfast, one at lunch, and the last two in the evening. Make each lesson enjoyable, and you'll have a better experience.

Each day you'll build on the characters you already know. During the first week, you may feel frustrated or you may have trouble hearing each individual character. However, by day 5 or so, you will start to notice that the characters are 'slowing down', and you can differentiate the characters. In reality, you're simply learning to hear these tones quicker.

You should concentrate on how each character sounds, and don't rely on a visual representation of the code. Listen to the characters, and hear the rhythm of each one. You will hear Morse Code sent at 20 Words Per Minute (WPM), sent at full speed, from the very first lesson. These tones are purposely sent too fast to count the beeps. You should be training your ear to hear the sound of the character, like you hear the sound of a word. Listen when you are able concentrate on what you're doing, and not overburdened with other activities. Remember, this should be fun. Enjoy the process. So, when you're ready, sign up for the free reminder emails right here, and start with lesson 1, we hope you'll make it through the 40 lessons, and LearnMorse!
