Liberty Net: October 2, 2010

by Kevin Strom, WB4AIO

SHORTWAVE RADIO PROPAGATION went very long during this week’s Liberty Net, despite the higher sunspot numbers, but noise was extremely low and almost all stations, even the low power ones, were heard clearly. Remember, if you can’t listen to the Liberty Net on or near 3950 kHz on Saturday nights at 10PM Eastern time, you can listen any time right here on https://3950.net.  You can even download the file for listening on your personal mp3 player.

Liberty Net: September 25, 2010

by Kevin Strom, WB4AIO

THE IONOSPHERE was reflecting signals so beautifully during the Liberty Net this week that many of the stations on 75 meters sounded like locals on 2 meters, which made for an effortless exchange of the hard-to-find information and insights that make the net famous.

Here’s a tiny selection of the topics discussed this week on amateur radio’s longest-running discussion net, on the air since 1974:

• Why is it so difficult for people of European descent to become American citizens these days — a process that can take years or decades when it is even allowed to happen  — when, according to the founding fathers, they should be the only ones allowed to become citizens at all? (10 minutes)

Liberty Net: September 18, 2010

by Kevin Strom, WB4AIO

THE TOTALLY BOGUS nature of the Republican establishment was a major focus of the Liberty Net this last week of Summer, and propagation coöperated to make the dialogue audible across most of the continent.

Expect even better conditions as the Fall season approaches and static dies down.

Here’s a small sample of the items discussed this week on amateur radio’s most exciting net:

• The criminals in Congress are seriously discussing seizing private pension plans and forcibly merging them into the bankrupt “Social Security” system. (20 minutes)

• Did you know that a “dirty capitalist” American business owner made two recent broadcasts over Radio Havana in Cuba? And did you know that he was a regular Liberty Net participant? (37 minutes)

Liberty Net: June 5, 2010

by Kevin Strom, WB4AIO

THIS WEEK’S Liberty Net was 99 per cent. clear of intentional interference, as the jammers folded up their tents in the face of innovative techniques for getting Net communications through.

The Liberty Net, on the air since 1974 and led by Net Control Station W1WCR, is one of amateur radio’s most venerable and historic nets — and it is surely the most intellectual and exciting.

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

• The Bilderberger group — an organization for the management class of the oligarchy — met from June 4th through 7th in Spain, with the main agenda being how the current economic crisis can be used to impose “true world economic governance.” (6 minutes)

Liberty Net: May 29, 2010

THIS WEEK the Liberty Net had some of the most heartfelt and engaging remarks — and some of the cruelest and crudest flagrant illegal interference — ever heard on amateur radio.

The Federal Communications Commission is supposed to protect us from intentional interference. The place to send your reports of jamming of the Liberty Net is fccham@fcc.gov — and their telephone number is 717-338-2577.

According to N8WGM, they also request that you send them recordings of the jamming to support your complaints. The address for recordings to be sent is FCC Enforcement Bureau, Amateur Radio Division, 1270 Fairfield Road, Gettysburg PA 17325. Especially interesting — to us at https://3950.net as well as to the FCC — would be reports from those getting a local ground wave signal from a jammer.

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

• The amazing story of a recent Norwegian immigrant who came to America looking for liberty — and who was deeply saddened and disappointed by what he found here. (4 minutes)

Liberty Net: May 22, 2010

THERE WAS a coordinated effort to jam the Liberty Net with noise and obscenities this week, and, although some of the intentional jammers had strong signals, the use of alternate frequencies and multiple Stickam.com audio feeds made sure that the Liberty Net communications came through. It’s truly shocking how little control — or even interest in control — the FCC has over these flagrantly illegal and illegitimate operators.

Here’s a small sampling of the topics covered on this week’s Net — topics that someone doesn’t want you to hear about, apparently:

• According to a report in the EU Times, the Russian government has intelligence showing that the Gulf oil spill was the result of a submarine attack, and that Obama ordered a news blackout immediately after Washington learned of the event. (20 minutes)

Liberty Net for Week of May 15-22

by Kevin Strom, WB4AIO

GOOD propagation helped the conversations on the Liberty Net this week, and the range of information and opinion presented was impressive. One participant ridiculed those who question the authenticity of Obama’s alleged birth certificate, while others on the Net believe it’s a phony — and Kenyan claims that Obama was born there buttress that belief.

The stations that tried to disrupt the Net last week with crude remarks — but got no takers — resorted to transmitting random sound effects. But the legitimate participants ignored them and they had little effect, except to encourage a brief switch in frequency.

Here are some of this week’s highlights, as recorded on May 15th by N2IRJ:

• As the utter bankruptcy of the United States proceeds apace, California is paying all those due money from the state with possibly-worthless IOUs — and Illinois is paying nothing. (56 minutes)

• Are the riots of Greeks who oppose globalization (and who oppose the austerity programs that the banks are demanding in order to pay back their questionable “debts”) the moral equivalent of the Black riots in the US incited by Martin Luther King? (59 minutes)

Liberty Net for Week of May 8-15

by Kevin Strom, WB4AIO

THE WEEKLY Liberty Net continues to offer some of the most interesting and thought-provoking QSOs to be found anywhere in amateur radio.

There was some intentional interference this week, but the illegal jammers got no takers for their obscene and illegal interjections, and soon dried up and blew away.
