You have a very mistaken belief of how the bill of rights works. The 2nd amendment is simply protecting a natural right from infringement by the government. In the absence of the 2nd amendment, all people still have the exact same rights.
Even if this did happen, and the feds thought it could be enforced, we'd have a civil war trying to enforce it.
The really cool thing to mention about OSCAR 7 is it died in 1981 due to a short in the batteries. On June 21, 2002, Pat G3IOR heard some telemetry of W3OHI, which was OSCAR-7 transmitting on the 2 meter band. A follow up by one of the designers decoded the telemetry and found it to be authentic.
21 years of being silent in space was long enough for the short to open and the satellite booted when light hit it's solar array. The controllers came back online and it started transmitting.
Perhaps the market had a restriction on renting for less than 6 months.
For example Florida charges sales and hotel tax (15%) on any rental less than 7 months. So you will see people offering 7 month leases or 12 month leases. If anyone does a month to month lease the state can come back up to 10 years and make them pay the taxes owed.
So if you want to rent a place for an extra 10% monthly, this costs the landlord 5% once the tax is paid.
95% of all vendors at "gun shows" which sell guns are FFL (federal firearms licensee, legal gun dealers). Any gun sold/transfer from an FFL to a regular person (non-FFL) must have a background check and 4473 form completed. The vast majority of people attending gun shows and buying guns thus are subject to background checks.
Now there are the simple collectors of guns which show up and sell from their collection on occasion, or the guys walking around with a gun strapped to their back and a "for sale" sign in the barrel which don't need a background check, but they have become few and far between. Websites like guntrader have become like a craigslist for people who want to sell their guns face to face.
Every time I've bought a gun Face to Face I've done a bill of sale for the gun, and showed my CWP or drivers license. (it's not legal to sell hand-guns to out of state residents with out shipping it to a FFL in their state)
This "gun show loophole" is in reality a hollow argument. If a rational person actually researches the laws, you find out how hard it is to buy a gun with out a background check.
He is asking for support of the person that's recording/editing/posting the videos, "Ham Radio Now" http://arvideonews.com/ Gary, KN4AQ pays his own way and his own video equipment to put together some great videos of every segment at DCC. It's really worth it. Many people are unable to attend and this gives them the ability to view it. However this is a lot of work and it's not cheap. So a donation to Gary/ARVN offsets the cost.
Best profit I ever made, bought a registered sear (legally a machine gun, but just a small hunk of metal) for $3500 in 2004. Sold it in 2011 for $13000.
I'd still like to see the NFA declared unconstitutional though.
The issue with all Cellular networks (and any half duplex shared media) is that the time it takes to send 256 bytes over the air is not 1/4 the time it takes to send 64 bytes, it's more like.6 to.8 times. The signaling setup and tear down takes time to transmit packets over the air, which is fixed no matter the amount of bytes you send.
This impacts the network as the real bandwidth of a cellular network is not in BPS but airtime. If all the airtime is used up for signaling small packets for marginal signal customers, even the customers that have strong signals and want to send a http request will have to wait. Stateless protocols cause the worst problems as once a flow is established the PDSN/HA/etc does not have to do anymore work. With a app that generates a new flow for each data transfer of 10 bytes to say "hey im still online", the signaling bandwidth is used up and the network quickly falls to it's knees.
This massive use of third party apps and data is still quite new to the providers. This scares them, as you can't just turn on netflow, setup nfsen and see what's going on. Lucent is about the only company out there with a ntop like solution for the providers, but it's new and still being deployed.
I know the IP people are asking how they don't know what's on their network, but it's not just IP traffic you need to monitor, as all the carriers do so. monitoring the IP traffic only gives you the 10000 foot level view, to actually say how the loading on the radio layer relates to the applications in use is a very new requirement. While you can pull hundreds of data point for voice traffic from each radio and switch, at best you can find an error rate and total transfer for the busy hour on the data counters.
It's the providers problem for selling a data plan based on bytes transferred , rather than airtime used.
Well last company I worked at we used CLLI codes. Each Node had a name after the site code.
ie. ORLDFLAKR01
ORLDFL was a city (Orlando, Florida)
AK was the site code in the city (Apopka)
so ORLDFLAK was the site code
R01 was the first radio at that site.
Servers were S01-S99 or SB1-9
Routers were RT1-9
Switches were SW1-9
Now if you get to the end of a series, such as RT9, just make the next one RU1 and go with it.
This makes the name describe the city,state and network device, all in a fixed format of 11 characters. That makes it easy to search for problems and put in a DB.
Now this might not be a good idea if you have 1000's of servers in a location, so in that case you might want to go like 3 char site, 2 char floor, 3 char rack, then S01-99 for the rack. so like ORL02AAAS01, which is ORLando, Floor 02, Rack AAA on that floor, and Server 01 in that rack.
On the plus side when you start looking at circuit tracking program (if ever) most are keyed off a CLLI codes.
Thats why we suggest a cisco 831 to our clients. We even offer to set them up for free, including ACL's and so forth. I have a number of people that have gone thru one or two routers, and finaly decided to buy a cisco. I have yet to have one of our custmors call us with problems that can be fixed by a reboot of the router while running a 831. Nice too beacuse they can be setup for dial backup in case our netwok goes down, not likely, but I like to give as many options as i can to people.
That's a good shot, but I have done 10.1, 22.65 and 19.3 mile links, with 99.9% uptime. I used Breezecom DS.11 radios and 24 DBi andrew/conifer antennas to accomplish it. The worst signal strength was -68 to -72 dbm on the 19 mile shot.
A cupple motorola P100's will work just fine, they put out 5 watts on high wich will go about one mile. Also they are capiable of running PL decode so you can eleminate interference on your channel.
You can pick them up for about 50 to 100 on ebay, or on rec.radio.swap, most of the time with a rapid charger, and a speaker mike. The standard battery is about 1100 mA/h which will last 8-10 hours fully charged. Sure they weigh about a pound, but you can throw them at the wall all day and they will still work! I have droped one from a 50 foot tower, and while the plastic case and battrey was broken, the radio still worked.
The only problem you may have is programing them, as you need a special cable called a RIB box to interface the computer with them. Polaris radio can set you up for about 100 bux, which is not all that bad.
It's perfectaly vaild to give the people something to visulize.
How do you handle metric units? I know what a meter is and how long it is, but still convert it to feet before I can visulize it. i.e. a centimeter is about 1/3 of an inch, and a meter is a bit longer than a yard. 100 feet ~ 30 Meters in most peoples minds.

Larry Flynt is right!
I'm a ham radio operator making extensive use of the 3.4-3.5 GHz (9cm)band. This story is useless without defining 3.5 GHz better.
If it's 3550-3700, that's not the ham band and we're ok. But what band is it? 3.5 is lots of things to lots of people.

The Constitution protects rights of the people and lists powers granted to the government by the people, not the other way around.
All people have inalienable rights, and the Constitution protects these rights. It does not grant any rights to the people.
Have you considered Machine Guns?
Best profit I ever made, bought a registered sear (legally a machine gun, but just a small hunk of metal) for $3500 in 2004. Sold it in 2011 for $13000.
I'd still like to see the NFA declared unconstitutional though.
If it was me and I had my life's work taken from me, and now being forced into bankruptcy and poverty, I'd hold the CPSC leaders responsible.
A government without fear of the people is not a republic. Time to put the fear back into them.
+1 for cable lacing. I'll show a couple pictures of lacing i did during a lab evaulation of some gear a few years ago.

It is an inalienable right that every person in every country has. The US Constitution is unique for protecting this right.
No rights are "granted", you have rights.
