“THE SCOUT TRAIL TO CITIZENSHIP” 1940 BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA RECRUITING FILM

Had this post saved for awhile, have a bunch of them half ready – time constraints have not been easy to work around – but since the announcement on the 7th of May of this year – the end of the program – well here we are . . .

Scouting had to be eliminated as a force in American society – not the peripherals – the camping / hiking / etc. but the core purpose of the program HAD to be eliminated – all the “stuff” – camping and such – was there to interest boys in the program – the core purpose of the program was designed for one singular purpose – when you go beyond all the smoke, mirrors, and bull shit – the program was to identify leadership potential in young men – develop that leadership potential – and produce leaders!

Can’t be having that shit going on anymore! Leaders Bad!! Can’t be having young men who are confident – able to assess a given situation – take charge and lead people through issues that occur – move into industry and government and LEAD by example – and not prostrate themselves before their government masters and think through the bull shit spoon fed to them by what passes for media propaganda! ( fixed it for you )

So many of the military LEADERS that have served America – through WW2 and onward were scouts. The men who served in SAC? The vast majority were scouts or Masons – or both – gee, I wonder why?

Sad day when an old friend passes away . . .

Nebula 75 – Supermarionation

I have no clue how long this will stay up on the Tube – from the channel –

“For a limited time only, the complete first series of ‘Nebula-75’ is available to watch in full on Youtube. Join Commander Neptune, Circuit, Doctor Asteroid, Solstice, and Mercury as they enjoy a full season of retro-puppet adventures. The first series of ‘Nebula-75’ was a brand-new puppet lockdown drama made entirely during confinement in 2020 using only existing puppets and materials. Filmed in Supermarionation, it follows in the tradition of ‘Thunderbirds’, ‘Stingray’ and ‘Fireball XL5’ while at the same time also being filmed in SuperIsolation and Lo-Budget!”

I have already watched it – and it’s a hoot – Enjoy!

Fresh Out of the Box : Sangean ATS-909X2

A quick look and how I’m going to compare the Sangean to my SDR . . .

Got a chance to do some listening the other day using the Kaito reel up portable antenna – strung up inside the living room – far less than ideal . . .

The pic below is the XHDATA D-808 shown with the Kaito portable reel antenna . . .

What amazes me is how large the Kaito antenna looks sitting there with the XHDATA – that is one itty bitty radio!

What I really wanted to do was to hook up to my MLA 30 + . . . Of course I couldn’t find my adapter – shit – looking for something else I found it in a box ( where else? ) of stuff that I had tossed stuff into during the initial unpacking . . .

Now I can hook directly ( and correctly! ) to the MLA 30+ – The plan is to run through short wave frequencies with the SDR – write down frequencies and and rate on a simple 1 through 10 of how they sound.

The beauty of the SDR is you can tell at a glance signals and modulation – you can cover 50khz through 30mhz in about 3 minutes – because it’s a visual thing . . .

You look at signal strength – the higher the peak the stronger the signal – the more modulation “blooms” on the waterfall the better you can hear it . . .

Slowly but surely my gun/knife/radio and general shit room is coming together – grand daughters are wanting me to do the YouTube thing – I am resisting – seems like a lot of effort to me . . .

So let me ask you – and YOU as well – do you think the YouTube thingy is worth the effort – there are a whole lot of channels out there covering SWL/guns/knives/cooking etc. – does the world REALLY need one more??
