A radio that uses a built-in generator would be much easier to carry
around and keep charged up than your other alternatives. AM, FM and
weather channel coverage is far far more imprtant than shortwave in an
emergency radio.


Only in the U.S.

Yes, I am in Canada. I live about ten miles from the border at
Niagara Falls. Spent a lot of time in both Canada and the U.S. Have
relatives in both countrys. Family been here since 1635.


When would you like to sign title over?

Come on now, you being a nice Liberal, Carbon Footprint, Al Gore, Cock Sucking kinda Canuck *******.. Give it
up, Boy!

I'm a real Native American...- Hide quoted text -

Well, well, well.... A couple of corrections in order for our ignorant
friend.
1. Nope... not a liberal. I'm a libertarian if I'm anything. I wonder
if you even know what that is?... Not every Canuck is a liberal or a
socialist, although I do agree it is sometimes hard to see that
fact. ;-)
2. Carbon Footprint? Ya I know what it means. Could you elaborate on
how it applies to me and not you?
3. Al Gore is a high priest of global warming. I really don't care
for the guy at all. I don't even like him since he basically uses
propaganda to try and terrify everyone about the doom that is coming,
and that it is all our fault. He's been up here in Canada trying to
scare the **** out of us about our coming doom. Hey, isn't he a fellow
countryman of yours???
4. You say I suck cocks? Well, sorry to dissapoint you, but I don't
suck cocks. Do you?
5. Well, yes, I guess you can call me a Canuck. Since I am a born in
Canada Canadian. But a branch of our family has been in the States
since before 1776, Some sided with the patriots, some sided with the
King. Our family was split up because of that war. (the ones that came
to Canada decided to stay loyal to King George III.) Another branch
moved to Kansas in the early 1850's, and another group of us moved to
California in the 1930's, so our family is full of Canadians and
Americans.
6. *******? Both my parents were married. How about yours?

Thanks cuhulin. But I'm afraid I don't know what m ll means. Just goes
to show that I've got a a lot to learn, not afraid to admit it.

Home made wind generators.I like the KISS principal.A junk yard
alternator and a junk yard motorcycle wheel with a good tire on it for a
friction drive,or with a sprocket on it for a chain drive.Home made
blades attatched to the wheel.Junk yard pipe,or angle iron for the
tower.Some good junk yard golf cart batteries and an inverter.You get
the idea,cheap and simple.
