ONE OF THE EXPERIMENTS taking place at WB4AIO and N2IRJ is the introduction of software defined radios (SDRs) into the Liberty Net technological arsenal. Look for improved reception, streaming, and recordings in the near future!

Here’s a tiny selection of the many, many subjects discussed and debated during this week’s Liberty Net:

• The Washington regime is opening a “data collection center” in Utah, which is supposed to become operational next year, explicitly for the illegal and unconstitutional purpose of aiding the regime’s efforts to spy on our email, telephone, and other private conversations. (19 minutes)

• Predictably, Mitt Romney has selected yet another neocon warmonger as his running mate. The “mainstream,” billionaire-media-approved candidates of both parties all support the Zionist murderers and bankers who misrule us and a good part of the world. (23 minutes)

AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS of absence due to a power supply failure and subsequent parts requisition and repair, N2IRJ was finally able to rejoin the Liberty Net this week. Welcome back, Marty! Special thanks to Al, N2SAG, for his extra effort in keeping the conversation lively and on a high level despite the absence of Marty and the phone patch callers.

Here’s a small sampling the many subjects brought up during this week’s Liberty Net:

• Up until recently, solar energy has required a prohibitively high investment. But subsidies have brought the costs down, and the payback time is now much shorter. Whether we approve of subsidies or not, it is a fact that those who take the plunge also greatly increase their independence. This week WD8PAV was the first high-power check-in to the Liberty Net using power obtained entirely from solar panels. (38 minutes)

• Cass Sunstein, who advocated creating a sort of “Ministry of Truth” to censor the Internet and specifically to punish writers who questioned the official 9/11 narrative, is leaving his position with the Washington regime. His replacement has Soros connections. (1 hour 8 minutes)

DESPITE SUMMERTIME STATIC at the highest levels we’ve seen this season, and despite the temporary loss of the N2IRJ phone patch (Marty is repairing his transceiver’s power supply as I type), the Liberty Net had numerous new check-ins and extremely interesting discussions this week.

Listen: Liberty Net 7/28″]

Here’s a small selection from the many ideas brought forward during this week’s Liberty Net:

• Many people are saying that being forced to choose between Mitt Rob-me and Fetchit is a matter of picking the lesser of two evils. But is it really better to pick the “less evil” and hope that a smaller amount of damage will be done? Isn’t it better to let the more obvious evil reign so that no one will be lulled into complacency that “things are getting better” — and to ensure that more and more people will be radicalized and build an overwhelming consensus for revolution? (14 minutes)

• We have a system in which politicians are buying votes with stolen wealth and charging the bill to the future. The fact that we have a degraded electorate that can’t figure that out, and reject it, illustrates the total failure of one-man one-vote mass democracy, which isn’t what the founders intended anyway.

WE LIVE IN A STRANGE country where you need to prove your identity and origin twenty times over to get a driver’s license — but not to be President; a country in which leaders and aspiring leaders fall all over themselves to promise to defend the eternal sanctity of Israel’s borders — but care not a whit for our own. But there are rational people who recognize the insanity for what it is, and speak out about it on amateur radio’s Liberty Net, which has been serving the public interest, convenience, and necessity since 1974.

Listen: Liberty Net 7/21″]

Here are just a few of the ideas introduced for vigorous debate during this week’s session:

• In Germany and Switzerland, there’s a move to ban the barbaric Middle Eastern rite of circumcision. Will the law be directed only at one Middle Eastern religion, though, and exempt another? (13 minutes)

• Saying that “guns” killed people in that Colorado theatre is like saying that rolling pins and cast iron skillets commit domestic violence. In truth, if we had a more well-armed population, much individual and government violence and mischief against us would be eliminated — the bastards simply wouldn’t dare. (17 minutes)

MURPHY’S LAW May be part of the inherent structure of reality, and it impacts radio stations as much as it does anything. Murphy struck N2IRJ this week, causing a shorted power supply transistor, so the phone patch was off the air — but the over-the-air participation was high, especially for a Summer session, and the Liberty Net discussions continued at a high level.

Listen: Liberty Net 7/14″]

Here are just a few of the topics introduced for discussion and debate during this week’s session of the net:

• The oligarchs and their pet legislators are trying hard to push ratification of a treaty that would ban private ownership of firearms, in an effort to nullify the Second Amendment. Remember, these folks are the same people who have spent multiple millions to arm Mexican drug cartels and Israeli murder squads, so they’re not at all against violence. What they are against is your ability to defend yourself from tyranny. (16 minutes)

• Several thinkers have come out with innovative ideas to liberate us from legislative tyranny: jury nullification, the citizen’s veto, and the right of individuals to opt out of the regime’s “programs” and pretended laws. (39 minutes)

NEITHER SOLAR FLARES nor power surges, nor anything that the enemies of free speech have attempted, have stopped — or even put a crimp in the style of — the Liberty Net. The net has been on the air, serving the public interest, and expanding minds since 1974.

Listen: Liberty Net 7/7″]

Here are just a few of the things that were discussed during this week’s session of the net:

• Now that the money-manipulators and criminal politicians have dug a deep economic hole for themselves — now that millions have awakened to their scams and crimes — will they play the only card they have left, and start another World War? It’s clear that the tyrants hate Russia, because Russia is not under their control, and recent false flag events indicate that Russian resistance to the ongoing attempted CIA / Mossad coup in Syria may be used as a pretext. (38 minutes)

• US Treasuries, at nearly zero per cent. interest, have now reached the point where many rational investors consider them unmarketable. What does that say about the solvency of institutions that hold vast quantities of them? (41 minutes)

HEAT-WAVE-INDUCED power failures swept across the Middle Atlantic this week, but backup systems in place kept the Liberty Net over-the-air and Internet presence strong nevertheless. On a typical net night, there are at least two streams active from two separate stations which are also active on the air, with yet a third station making a backup recording.

Listen: Liberty Net 6/30″]

Here are some excerpts from this week’s session of the net:

• When talking about the federal monster, it’s very important to remember to use the accurate description “the regime in Washington” instead of any phrase that might imply that the de facto government there is legal, legitimate, reformable, or in any way a continuation of the government of the founders. Calling it “the Obama regime” is also inappropriate because 1) it implies that the oligarchs’ errand boy is actually in charge, and 2) it obscures the fact that the tyranny we live under is many decades old and persists no matter which party won the last phony election.

A BIG THANKS to those who have helped us keep this site up and running and promoting the Liberty Net and freedom of speech on amateur radio — it’s truly a labor of love for all involved. That’s also true of the Liberty Net itself: For 38 years, it’s been a place for camaraderie, friendship, teaching, and learning on many levels.

Listen: Liberty Net 6/23″]

Here’s a small sample of the ideas exchanged this week on the net:

• As the European Union institutes a sweeping so-called “financial transaction tax,” what’s next? We already have taxes on every other necessity of life (like carbon, for example), so perhaps a “breathing tax” is in order. The truth is that the pretext doesn’t matter; it’s just a pretext, after all. What the oligarchs’ managers are really saying to us is “give us what we want, or go to prison.” It’s as simple as that. (20 minutes)

• It’s no wonder the billionaire oligarchs encourage non-White immigration: They know Third Worlders will work for less money, and the money-men don’t ever want a culturally and racially united people to coalesce into a revolutionary force to challenge their rule. A melange of squabbling peoples that can easily be played off against each other, and with an ever-declining IQ, is a much more manageable slave labor pool. (35 minutes)

AS WE ENTER the Summertime static season on 75 meters, it’s good for every Liberty Net participant to review what is necessary for an effective signal on that band: 1) Use a full size antenna, meaning a 120-foot half-wave dipole (or larger) horizontal antenna, or a full 60-foot quarter wave vertical with multiple radials. Inverted Ls larger than a half wave work well too with a good radial system and with the horizontal part a quarter wave or higher, as do full wave loops at a similar height. 2) Get that antenna up high in the air — straight up to 60 feet for verticals; 40 feet minimum for horizontals, but the higher the better up to 100 feet. 3) Run as much clean power as you can; even if you are strong to the Net Control Station, the more remote stations will appreciate the extra signal-to-noise ratio. 4) Run clean audio compression. Compression keeps the average audio level high and consistent, but make it clean like a broadcast station — clipping and other forms of distortion may increase the sensation of loudness but actually detract from intelligibility.

And remember this principle: Since atmospheric noise is high and is the limiting factor for reception on 75 meters, even a low and lossy antenna will receive just about as well as a high, efficient one. This leads some operators to think “I can hear them all fine on my 20-foot-high jumbled vee or trap vertical… they should hear me too.” Not true. To overcome the high noise and interference levels on this band and be heard well, you need the highest, most efficient antenna you can manage. It’s worth the effort.

Here is a small sampling of subjects from this week’s discussion:

• By Executive Order, the regime’s figurehead just “legalized” over 800,000 Mestizo invaders of our living space. (54 minutes)

• The widely-accepted (but insane and illegal) idea that legislatures can make any laws they want to make has led to the creation of “food police” laws in New York City, the alleged purpose of which is to prevent restaurants or movie theatres from selling drinks with “too many” calories per serving.

HOW DOES amateur radio serve the public interest?

We all know about technical education, emergency communications, and experimentation — but an ever-increasing number of radio amateurs are realizing just how valuable it is when it provides the means to bypass the billionaires’ controlled media and lets us find out about — and share — what is really happening in our own communities and around the world.

Listen: Liberty Net 6/9″]

Here are a just few of the highlights from this week’s conversation:

• Stocks have been a zero-sum game for a decade — real estate is a disaster — government debt is of ever more questionable value — and currencies are being purposely debauched. It seems that the only people who have come out ahead in recent years are crooked bankers who got bailed out (and can create money out of thin air anyway), and holders of precious metals. (12 minutes)

• We must sadly report the death of writer and economist Bob Chapman of the International Forecaster this week. He was a graduate of Northeastern University and was very active in the education of our people on financial and political matters since the 1960s, writing for the American Mercury and many other publications, and was often quoted on the Liberty Net.
