Sheesh... you really are dumb, aren't you?

The woman had a fake Rolex, that was the joke. Did you
actually see the show?

The point is, 'tard boy, is that a fake Rolex is not a Rolex and that EMP will
not affect a real one.

What part of that don't you understand?

www.devilfinder.com Effects of EMP

I was in a U.S.Army Nike Hercules Nuclear Missile (ARADCOM) unit at
Scott Air Force Base,Illinois and near Pacific,Missouri (SL-60,Charley
Battery,Saint Louis,Missouri area Defense) in 1963 for ten months before
I went to Fort Knox,Kentucky.Perhaps U.S.Army should have kept all of
those units active,that used to be scattered all over U.S.A.and improved
on them over the years.All of our troubles are a direct result of those
STUPID MORONS in fed govt.If fed govt would just leave us alone we would
all be much better off.

My Rolex wris****ch I bought at the U.S.Navy Fleet Store in Hong Kong
isn't fake,it is the Real McCoy.

So you did not see the show about the EMP? The pilot had the bomb go
off about 90-100 miles away in Denver. The same scene is repeated
at the begining of each show. After that everything electronic worked
and when the power came back, there even was Internet, TV, etc.

The EMP was from a high altitude blast a few epsiodes later. It occured
after a missle launch to the east.

The townspeople watched the missles, mistakenly thought they were
going to Russia (by missle Russia is NORTH of Kansas) and then saw
a big bright overhead flash, like a fireworks finale on July fourth,
but higher. Suddenly everyhting electronic, except for a "hardened"
laptop hidden in a basement, died. This included "everything with a
circuit board", the power grid, modern cars, etc.

The townspeople just looked up........

Maybe they're going to repeal the laws of physics,
would have to for your fantasy to occur,
but them I never expected the neocons to shred our constitution either.

What laws of physics? Seems you were assuming the EMP came from a
different bomb, which kind of shreds your asumptions.

Are you even watching the show?

Funny, I can see you are not. Missed the whole EMP thing? Yes, I
watch it. Every week.

They have some interesting characters alright, and I guess any small
town would have a few unpredictable sorts.

That's the whole point. It's a small town of average people. There
does not seem to be a suvivalist, or an Emmet Brown like in "Back
To the Future", or even a Mormon (who is required to have a month's
supply of food and other emergency supplies).

There are paremedics in the burning school episode, but they never
show up at any other time. Most of the time, the only person with
any first aid training is the doctor, who is a main character.

I think you've mistaken me for the original poster, but the show does
seem to be based on cold war hysteria, and even contemporary scientific
ignorance.

Sorry, too many people with too little to say. :-)

So far, it seems pretty reasonable to me. A group of terrorists smuggle
small atomic bombs into many cities and set them off at the same time
by hand. New York was able to stop them. The rest of it is based
upon the actions of ignorant people, but too many postings on here
are by people who have not seen the show, yet comment on it.


In the late 60's I was getting well past my youthful aprehensions of the
40's and 50's and well on my way to being a blissful hippie.

To quote Captian Kirk in the fourth Star Trek movie, " too much LDS in
the sixties".

This show has enough humour that if I ration it correctly it will last
a decade!

While it has it's moments, and a few "inside jokes" like the fake Rolex,
it's not really funny.

Of course it might be because I live in a safe part of a country that was
under constant missle attack for over a month. In the north, several
hundred rockets arrived each day, destorying the infrastructure, killing
people, wiping out crops and livestock and forcing people to live in
shelters for over a month.

We still are being hit with rockets in the south, killing people and
destroying homes, schools and jobs, every day.

To you it's one big joke because you are so well informed and so smart,
to me it's a prohpetic vision a world filled with ignorant people
who little or no practical education and average intelligence.

To keep it on subject that's why I check the battery in my FR-200 once
a month to make sure it will take a charge. The original one died.

On the other hand, I'm working on things that would help prevent the
ignorance highlighted in Jericho, but that's beyond the scope of this
newsgroup.

Back in 1974 we had a string of Tornados pass through knocking out
power
for just under 3 days. There I was with receivers that were useless
because
the mains were down.

I got my ham license 2 months later, joined CD, went through the
training
for about 10 years. During the Carter presidency, right as CD was being
turned into FEMA I bailed when I saw how clueless the plan was. In the
event of a nuke out Lexington was to evacuated to the east. Fat chance
in
hell. 200K people out in less then 36 hours to where, to eat what etc.
I walked
away when I saw there was no meaningfull way to move that many people
within any sort of reasonable time frame.

I have several nice radiological instruments, from the simple geiger
counter,
through multi decade ion chamber to a scintilation counter. I paid less
then
pennies on the kilo dollar. Not prepared for WWIII, but becuase I am
noisy.
There is a spot in the Red River Gorge that has Thorium. I wanted a
sample
and found the spot and have some nice samples.

As to educating the masses I gave it up for lent. Those that want an
education
can get one with minimal effort. For those who think that a ground or
air burst
100 miles (160KM) away will have any imdediate effect, EMP, direct
radiation,
thermal pulse, they have my pity. For those that think a 20KT device
set off
400 miles up will do more then dazzle a few on lookers, great. However
in the
event of a weapon designed for EMP, a multi-kiloton, multi stage
device, that
will have serious effects. No fancy electronics with anything with as
much as a
meter of cable. Blinded people with problems ranging from tmep flash
blindness
to permanent loss of vission with every step in between.And other then
keep some
gear in a good farraday cage, there is not a lot I can do about that.
If Iran,
NK or China decides to set a 4MT device off 400 miles up over the
center of the
USA most of my wonderfull toys will be toast and life will become very
unpleasant.
Without our 21st century technology and transportation a whole lot of
use will die
because there just ins't enough food to feed the 400K in the greater
Lexington
Area. The west coast with no local water would fair even worse. Am I
concerned,
hell yes, am I worried, only slightly. There is nothing I can do to
effect the course
of "my" own government. And less that I can do to effect NK etc.


I stock food not becuase I think the Chineese or AQ will nuke us, but
because
I know we will likely have an ice storm this winter that will make any
travel
risky. I have way too many radios, and batteries, and PV cells and a
hand crank
genset not because I worry about EMP but because I like my toys.

I still have my CD shelter warden manuals. I stll have my potasium
iodate.
And I carry life, health and automotive insurance. Who knows at 55 I
might still be
tough enough and smart enough to survie a Jerricho type event. I
wouldn't bet
on it, but who knows.

Perhaps the people who survive a near nuke event, or huricane or
tornado,
or a blizzard will be those who are prepared. And like in Katrina,
those who
expect the "government" to step in and help them will end up like the
patients
in the Rogue River Community Hospital.

If you and or your country men every get sick and tired of the rocket
attacks you
have the technical solutions to your problem. What I think is missing
is the
political and collective will to force the issue. I have no illsusions
about my
ability to hold off mercs like Blackwater etal. I insist this show is
only usefull
as examples of what not to do and for the "OMG did you see that
stupidity".

If you choose to find other meanings great!

I didn't know a Rolex was mechanical. They are way out of my price
range.
Please let me rephrase my comment to "An EMP event will have no effect
on electric or electronic watches. Even those made from plastic."

It will fry most newer vehicals, and almost everything else of value
that
has a CPU or solid state device.

You/we have to prepare for ourselves and family and friends.We saw
exactly how fed govt is ''prepared'',,, Katrina.fed govt has some
underground bunkers that are stocked to the gills with all kinds of
goodies,they are not worried.But just wait till those fed govt A..holes

Was it? I didn't catch that. Doing too many things while it was on, I

It was an FT101F to be exact, I just looked.


It was a pretty decent rig. One of my buddies from college swore by his.

It and the Kenwood TS-520 were the mainstay of Japanese radios for a
long time. Good solid radios. Easy to use, almost impossbile to damage,
good sound.
