wrote: So Watch the show, and enjoy the fun. It is the funniest thing since "Voyage to the bottom of the Sea". IMHO it's very accurate. It depicts a world that has not seen the Soviet Union in 17 years. While the fall of the Soviet Union was good, it signaled the end of the awarness that the U.S. might be attacked. Even 9/11 did not bring it back. So the people of Jericho live in a world were there is no need to prepare for anything and they did not. Their biggest problem would be a tornado or freak storm, and everything would be back to normal in a day. Why would there be shortwave or any other radio for that matter. All of the battery operated radios would have been wiped out in the EMP, and the tube ones died when the electricty went out. There was news and activity on the ham bands, but the one ham in town did not use his radio, he lent it to the mayor who had someone set it up who did not want the townspeople to know what happened. If it was for sinister reasons or just to protect the morale of the people, we'll probably learn later. The radio itself was destroyed in the EMP, it was transistorized except for tubes in final part of the transmiter section. Notice there is no town or school library? There are some home canned foods in the storm cellar at the farm, but only peaches and pickles. No one had a dehydrator, no one canned or pickled, and when the food started to spoil, they had a great party instead of grabbing every possible container and canning it. So it's pretty realistic if you live in a world where things are worthless if they are not new, food comes from a supermarket, electricity from an outlet, information comes from the internet, and everything is delivered "just in time". I see that here, there are NO canning supplies in the entire country and there is only one company that sells food dryers. The guy that imports dryers is trying to get a license to import vacuum sealer machines for home use, but they will be equivalent to a week's wages for the average wage earner here. My advice to you is to watch it as warning. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Pure hysterical bull****, any EMP at all would have been very weak from a ground blast (where you see mushroom clouds) or non existent. And even in a high altitude blast a battery radio wouldn't be affected unless connected to a very long antenna. How close was it? It was close enough to see overhead. Would that be close enough? You also don't know the kind of bomb it was. In two years there may be an EMP bomb that has been under development and kept secret. and the tube ones died when the electricty went out. yet there's enough electricity to run the happy hour pub with its ceiling mounted TV Not after the EMP. Everthing died including the electrical grid. For all we know that may have been the source of the EMP (which would mean that radios still worked). Now that there is electricity again we'll see what comes out of hiding. Thing you have to keep in mind is that the closest thing they have to anyone with real technical knowledge is an insane ham and a high school science teacher with a bad memory. They havent even set up some sort of telegraph between the bridge and town. It does not need to be electrical, there were mechanical telegraph systems long before electrical ones. IMHO you are judging it as if the cold war never ended, they are acting like it never happened. Having come of age in the 1960's I really think it's an accurate depeciton of what would happen. In the late 1960's I was thinking of how to turn a walk in closet into a fallout shelter and photographic darkroom. People like the ones in Jericho were trying to use fallout shelter loans to build in-ground swiming pools. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

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.

WHat bugged me about that scene was if you could see a high altitude blast, complete with EMP, you probably got hit with so much raditation, that the show wold not last the episode. So Watch the show, and enjoy the fun. It is the funniest thing since "Voyage to the bottom of the Sea". What I find is the problem with it is that the people live like there will be a truck with food showing up tomorrow. Not very much conservation. They expect that food will suddenly fall out of the sky. :-) Geoff. A multi-megatone device going off at ~400 miles up would produce minimal surface effect except for the EMP and the optical pulse which would likely fry the optic nerves of anyone looking at it. And given the double pulse effect of thermo-nukes, the first dimmer pulse would attract the views attention just in time for the whammy. You might want to take this over to misc survivial. Real data from military studies about EMP effects and containment have been linked to. I will stand by my comments about it is high humour. They haven't done anything a wise or prudent group would. An example of what to not do. Terry |

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.

I'm going by the scenes in the beginning of the show of a distant mushroom on the horizon 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.

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. Geoff. 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. Terry |

I wasn't aware of the show but I gather it's about what happens in a small town after some sort of super-duper EMP pulse, more intense than the Starfish prime test which couldn't even manage to burn out mass quantities of early 60s germanium transistor radios. Wow. An EMP pulse strong enough to destroy everything with a circuit board, yet has no effect on everyone with a central nervous system. I think I'll stick with domestic shortwave radio for doomsday info. It's every bit as misinformative as TV, but far more entertaining. Frank Dresser |

Watchmakers are on the lookout for them, now. You can find a decent knockoff Rolex with an automatic movement, the correct markings, correct weight...for about $250. You'll probably get ads for them this holiday season in your mailbox. |

The Hatfields and the McCoys.About $230.00 is what I paid for my real
McCoy Rolex stainless steel Oyster Perpetual wris****ch with the date thingy on it at the U.S.Navy Fleet Store in Hong Kong,China in 1964 when I went on my R&R.Back in those those days in Vietnam,if you wasen't wearing a Rolex on your wrist,you wasen't HIP.Nowdays I don't wear any wris****ches at all.A few years ago,I bought a new nice looking wris****ch at the Wal Mart store,it was marked down to about $4.87.That cheap piece of junk won't keep time worth a flip. I get those spam scam emails about them fake Rolex and other fake wris****ches.But I don't want any fakes. cuhulin,the Real McCoy |
