AS THE IONOSPHERIC propagation improves — both from rising sunspot numbers and because of the change in seasons — checking in and listening to the most intellectually exciting discussion net on amateur radio, the Liberty Net, is easier and more pleasurable than ever.
Listen: Liberty Net 10/1
Here are some of the issues brought up this week on amateur radio’s best-known discussion net:
• With Ron Paul polling better against Obama than any other candidate, why are the billionaire-owned media almost universally failing to mention that fact? (10 minutes)
• Except for Paul, all of the current candidates are employees of the financial elite — and one of them, Herman Cain, was at one time a high official of the Federal Reserve System. (28 minutes)

Our ancestors sought to "secure the blessings of Liberty" for their descendants. They did not have the illusion, common today, that widely divergent peoples could practice, desire, or even understand freedom.

PROPAGATION for this week’s Liberty Net began well but went very long later in the evening, making some normally big signals fade — but N2IRJ’s low-noise antenna brought most participants’ signals in with good intelligibility nevertheless. The Liberty Net — one of the oldest and certainly the most exciting net in amateur radio — is on the air every Saturday night at 10PM Eastern Time on (or near, within roughly 10 kHz) 3950 kHz.

Here is just a tiny sample of the highlights from this week’s edition of the longest-running discussion net in amateur radio:
• Was the entire Polish government killed because they weren’t going along with the New World Order boys? (6 minutes)
• Obama was soundly booed when he threw baseball’s ceremonial “first pitch” this week. (21 minutes)

The authors of the Constitution fought "To secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity" -- in other words to our own descendants, our own people, our own race.

THE EASTER WEEK Liberty Net was a session full of cheer, friendship, sharing (of both good spirits and information), and camaraderie in the face of some intentional interference. This venerable net is on the air every Saturday night at 10PM Eastern Time on (or near, within about 10 kHz) 3950 kHz SSB.
Here is just a tiny selection of highlights from this week’s Liberty Net, brought to you by Net Control Station (NCS) W1WCR. The times indicated are from the beginning of the recording:

• When you have a country with bad demographics, you will inevitably have bad politicians. This is always the downfall of democracy. (13 minutes)
• Should an IQ test be mandated for anyone who wants to run for Congress? (14 minutes)

THE LIBERTY NET for this week was characterized by mostly good propagation and some of the most impassioned discussions heard this year.
There was some intentional interference, but nothing that significantly hampered communications. The Liberty Net is on the air every Saturday night at 10PM Eastern Time on or near (within 10 kHz or so) 3950 kHz.

Here is just a small sampling of highlights from this week’s edition of the longest-running discussion net in amateur radio:
• There’s a reference to the Liberty Net’s “listeners in Ft. Meade, Maryland,” (location of the so-called National Security Agency) as one station opines that Net participants are the modern-day equivalents of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. (14 minutes)
• Many AM stations — both amateur and broadcast — have quite good audio fidelity. (18 minutes)
• Why is Texas threatening to write Thomas Jefferson out of its history textbooks? (25 minutes)

THE LIBERTY NET was attacked by multiple jammers this week — stations purposely transmitting sound effects and unidentified rude remarks and obscenities — but, despite all the efforts of the would-be censors, the Net participants brought off one of the most interesting and thought-provoking discussions yet.

Jammers are less effective than ever, because listeners have multiple ways of hearing the Net these days: They can listen on their own receivers, or, by logging in to N2SAG’s Stickam site, listen to N2SAG’s or KC0OW’s receivers (or others that are sometimes available), or tune in via N2IRJ’s feed which is also recorded and archived here. With multiple receivers hundreds of miles apart — some with steerable-null antenna arrays — it’s possible to minimize any intentional interference. Furthermore, N2SAG is building an e-list of monitoring stations which he’ll be coordinating when the jammers are on the air. Using triangulation and propagation clues, along with the technical and behavior “signatures” of the jammers, many will be identified and removed from the air. Listen to the Net for more details.
The Liberty Net is the longest-running current events discussion net on amateur radio, and is one of the most venerable gatherings of amateurs on the air. It’s a bastion of free speech and free inquiry. Here are just a few of the topics discussed this week:
• It’s crazy for people to state, as some media “conservatives” have, that they “miss Bush.” Obama is just Bush on steroids. You can’t cure out-of-control spending and borrowing with more out-of-control spending and borrowing. (21 minutes)
• The SPLC probably won’t be making an anti-White cause celebre out of the shooter at the University of Alabama: she is Jewish and the SPLC, though it pretends otherwise, is not objective in such matters. Gun bans at universities, by the way, make it almost impossible to stop such crazies. (27 minutes)
• Goldman Sachs has colluded with corrupt elements in the Greek government to conceal the true extent of that government’s debt, in a scam that could devastate the European Union. (47 minutes)

THE FOREMOST current events discussion net on amateur radio, the weekly Liberty Net moderated by Vic, W1WCR and recorded by Marty, N2IRJ, proved itself again as a bastion of free and unfettered speech this week. For a full immersion experience, log on Saturday evenings beginning at 10PM Eastern for live audio feeds of the Net (sometimes from several stations simultaneously) and live text chat too at stickam.com/thelibertynet via N2SAG.

Here are just a few of the topics and ideas covered during the wide-ranging debates and discussions:
• Some disinformation agents are promoting the idea that the Haitians are the victims of an “earthquake weapon” set up by “light-skinned elites” to harm “people of color.” Hugo Chavez has apparently picked up on this story. One might as well also believe in the efficacy of Voodoo to prevent earthquakes. (29 minutes)
