Notes from JWR:
A SurvivalBlog reader in Iraq e-mailed me to mention that the Wikipedia page
"James Wesley Rawles" has been proposed
for deletion. If you have experience with Wikipedia and have an opinion
one way or the other, then please post your comments. (Needless to say, I can't
comment there personally, or it would be a conflict of interest.) If you do
post, please be civil!
The high bid in the current SurvivalBlog
Benefit Auction (which tomorrow night) is now at $260.
This auction is for four items: a MURS Alert Base station, a MURS Alert Hand-held
transceiver,
an earbud, and a Kaito KA-1102 AM/FM/Shortwave. These radios were kindly
donated by the owner of Affordable Shortwaves and MURS Radios. If you aren't
familiar with the Dakota Alert infrared perimeter security system, take a
few minute to look at the
Dakota Alert web site. These alarms are very reliable and versatile.
I often recommend them to my consulting clients--especially those that plan
to have lightly-manned retreats. You can easily set up multiple detector/transmitter
sensors to provide 360 degree perimeter security for a large area. Instead
of just a generic alarm, they will let you know which sensor was
tripped, via a computer-generated voice message to a radio that you can carry
on your belt. (Such as "Alert, Zone Two.") The same radio can be
used for point-to-point voice communications, on the little-used MURS band.
The three radios have a retail value of $210, plus shipping. The
auction ends at midnight tomorrow (April 15th). Please e-mail us
your bids, in $10 increments.
