AS SUMMERTIME static starts to rear its ugly head, it becomes more and more important to run a high, efficient antenna — and an RF power amplifier at or near full legal power, when operating on 75 meters in general and checking into the Liberty Net in particular. Here are some links that can help you build a great antenna:

Don’t be fooled by ad copy: Homemade full-size wire antennas are nearly always far superior to commercial compromise types!

Now here’s a brief summary of some of the ideas brought up on the Liberty Net this week:
• Beware the oligarchs’ (and Israel’s) attempt to get a war started in Syria. They really don’t care whether or not Syria has used chemical weapons (and why is that worse than lobbing depleted uranium warheads, like the Washington regime does?); and they don’t care if a revolutionary regime there will be far more fundamentalist and radical than the Assad government. All they care about is that Syria under Assad is strong, and they want a weak, faction-ridden Syria — a Syria that can’t keep out the Mossad and the CIA and the New York banking and media mega-corporations.

• There’s a new term for the states that have reached the ominous point at which there are more people dependent on government payments than are working — they’re called “death spiral” states. (1 hour 11 minutes)
