Odds 'n Sods:
Reader "EM Joe" mentioned that from Noon on Saturday,
June 28th to Noon on Sunday, June 29th, it is "the annual US Ham Radio Field
Day.
About
a
half
a million
radio operators will leave their cozy houses and head out to the Great Outdoors
with
their Tents, Radios and Antennas to simulate a massive emergency situation.
This is the whole idea of Field Day, to let Ham Radio Operators all do this
on the
same day, using every possible radio they got in every possible way.
It is almost a religious event. This will allow you to hear how well it works,
how well it could be used for Intel, and oh yes, how crowded the radio spectrum
would get! For more info about Ham Radio Field Day you can look at the ARRL web
site."

A useful article: Cost
Effective Practice--Combating the High Cost of Ammo. I'll add the proviso that the
safety rules for dry practice cannot be over-emphasized. FWIW, the
dry practice safety rules available from Front Sight (included in their free
gun training
reports) are superior, since even more explicit.
