    I'd be interested to see the memo. But take it for what its worth. I know that Obummer was going to do some big gun control announcement soon. This might have something to do with it. A little fire to go with your smoke?

    These proposals that were mentioned in the article:

    Tax payer funded gun buy back programs

    Instead of a three day waiting period for a back ground check. It turns into a indefinite waiting period(That means you will wait forever)

    Hand gun Licensing

    Gun safe Licenses

    Restrictions on Ammunition and magazine capacity

    Licenses on shotguns and rifles


    These were all proposed by many anti gunners before Obama was breaking into politics. And after court rulings in DC and Chicago it is making it harder for them to get this crap passed. We need to stay vigilant, but this just seems to be fear mongoring to me....just my opinion.

    And I have pretty much decided to ignor Obama. He suck and he wont get any better. We have to keep our gaurd up because we dont trust him. This is our country and our Constitution. If he wants to change it, he will need our permission!

    Sung to the tune of, "Take it on the Run" by REO Speedwagon

    Heard it from a friend who
    Heard it from a friend who
    heard it from another he'll be takin our guns
    They say he's got an agenda
    he think's about it every weekend
    They're talking about him and it's bringing me down

    But I now the truth is good
    and talk is cheap when the story is good
    and the tales grow taller on down the line
    but I'm telling you, friend
    That I don't think it's true, friend
    and even if it is keep this in mind

    they won't take em away baby
    that's not the way we want it baby
    because it's a right for our guns to be around
    I don't believe it
    not even for a minute
    they'll never take our guns and take em on the run

    Your thinking up your white lies
    your putting on your lyin eyes
    you say they'll take em but you don't say when
    but I can feel it coming
    that your mouth is just a running
    and you need not never look back again





    Thank you, thank you very much

    GEEZ! That sounds pretty dang good, txinvestigator.
    Maybe we can get Christina Aguilera to sing it for us. She seems to be pretty good at singing songs everyone knows with completely new words.

    If you have a memo, post it.
    If this is true, I say go for boys; see ya in the dark.

    Ugh... sloppy research and methodology. For one thing, you aren't going to find a single antenna with anything close to linear efficiency from 10kHz to 3GHz. You'd need several antennas tuned to different frequencies to cover such a broad spectrum and make separate measurements using each one. I'd also swap the arrangement - if you're trying to emulate a signal from 'space' you'd use a directional antenna to transmit and the omni as a receiver.

    They also did not include in the report any data on baseline measurements of either antenna - you should measure return loss/efficiency of each antenna and compensate for that in your measurement data. They also didn't measure (or at least mention) the insertion losses from the cables and connectors across the frequencies tested; cable loss is very significant at higher frequencies.

    Finally, if they did this testing on a lab bench then the results are completely invalid; accurate and repeatable RF measurements should be made in a shielded chamber or box to isolate the test arrangement from outside interference. A serious study would require something like this or maybe this.

    I call B.S.

    This report is just intended to mislead us from the truth. In other words...
