Ok, now I'm itching to see everyone else's setup.

Anyone else care to share a pic of their "communications" setup?

Hermit, I know I recommended w8mhb's site myself. But I just looked at it yesterday. Mike has not updated his site to reflect the fact that they changed the Tech test this past summer. He's not using the current test, so use another source of practice exams like the link jamoni has posted above. Ye...

Since you've only gotten one response to your self-defense question, I'll chime in there. I've taken a BUNCH of flavors of training, and only one has been of any worth to me what-so-ever; American Kenpo. If you are coming to St. Louis, I am more then happy to introduce you to, IMHO, the best instru...

How many hours/days did you study (estimate)? I've been taking the practice exams at http://www.w8mhb.com/ over and over again.

Grats on the license...I'm working on getting the book to study up.

Awesome find.

I really like the Google Earth version of it as well...even if it is a bit memory intensive.

As someone new to this subject in comparison to others here this was a big help. Glad to have my attention brought to the site in general too, thanks.

I'd say heightened awareness is called for in shopping malls regardless of the season. They're softer targets than public schools, these days. Very true. I remember visiting my high school after a few years in college and was amazed at how locked down it was. A shopping mall looks like a cake walk ...

From what I can tell from my own little HAM training guide, you can hook up an internet connection using HAM radio equipment, which can be very helpful. Wireless technology (like my laptop) work using radio waves, so if there is a way to substantially boost the signal using your HAM gear, we're loo...

Okay, it's a little funny.

Whoops, sorry...totally innocent on my part I swear!

From a PAW point of view, I'd recommend any modern realistic knife fighting system. Escrima would be very valuable. For unarmed combat, I'd recommend a combination of boxing and some grappling form. Aikdio, judo, wrestling hapkido, etc. If you do move to St. Louis, PM me, and I can introduce you to...

Based on my experience and reading of field manuals, all black is a big no no and I would suspect all gray or other colors. The main emphasis, as already noted, is to break up the human outline - the human eye is instinctively drawn to the shape of another human being. A sniper ghillie suit can work...

Survival has been an interest of mine over the years, but admittedly I'll state that I am far from what I could consider a "survivor" if the worst happened. I love zombie films and how zombies are really greater representation of viral pandemics. Over the years however, I've come to see survival hor...

My curiosity is piqued by the somewhat unreliable information released from China regarding additional H5N1 strains specifically with regard to contraction by humans. Recently China released findings and information pertaining to H5N1 research to U.S. researchers which is encouraging, but the conspi...
