you got a local CB'r or ham that you're mad at,
and want to plant a little device in his yard so
his reception is dead, huh?

I've heard people doing this before.... buying about
$5 worth of parts at radio shack, putting together a
transmitter the size of a matchbox and tossing it in
somebody's yard one night where he won't ever find
it... and until the small battery that is in it goes dead,
his ears are plugged up and he can't hear a thing.

Yes, it is vandalism, but a simple needle or pin placed directly in the coax
usually does the trick from what I hear. Or take some wire cutters, and
clip the wire, connect the shielding and center conductor of the coax
together and tape both ends back together with black electrical tape would
do the trick as well. Granted, not legal and probably not ethical either,
but the techniques would work in making it a little "quieter."

that actually happened here locally in my ham
community a few years ago.... one ham was
SO mad at another ham that he went and cut
the fellows coax with a pair of wire cutters.
things got pretty nasty for a while.

Top nations that fund UN treasury,
in descending order...

United States: 22%
Japan: 19.6%
Germany: 9.8%
France: 6.5%
UK: 5.6%
Italy 5.1%
Canada: 2.6%
Spain: 2.5%

Russia isn't even in this top 8 list.
France, Russia and Germany, COMBINED,
do not contribute as much to the UN as
does the United States......

No need to get fancy on that. For the PL-259 "UHF" type connector,
just do one winding of transparent tape around the male pin. Gives it a
hard-to-see insulator when mated. [old Signal School trick...:-) ]
