NTIA

National something i can't remember.

anyway, they "regulate" the world of government and military radio users in the United States of America.

they also have a MAJOR problem with accepting any radio other then a motorola.

Stupid fascists!

CAP guy 1: Fuck the NTIA!!!!
CAP guy 2: Damn right!

unsexy

I would have to disagree with that statement, because there are plenty of sexy irish people out there, and I am one of them. Czechsmix has no idea what he is talking about sense irish (red) hair would be probably the sexist out there.

Czechsmix has no idea what he is talking about.

testosterone

The male sex hormone, (C19H28O2), screted by the testes, that stimulates the devolpment of the male sex organs as well as the male sex drive.

I'm a 16-year old male, and the testosterone is pretty much flooding my brain.

squawk

Pilot slang for the transponder code being used to indentify the aircraft on radar. The code is made up of four digits, and all codes are used but 0000, try using that code in a civilian aircraft and watch how fast the air force lights your ass up. For normal flight the code is 1200, Hijack code is 7500, radio being jammed is 7600 and general mayday call is 7700. These are discrete codes from 7600 to 7677 and 7701 to 7785 also, but I cant tell you what they are for...

Jetblue 834 this is Dulles Control, squawk 4932 please and climb to 15000.

Roger dulles control, squawking.

F region

That portion of the ionosphere existing between approximately 160 and 400 km above the surface of the Earth, consisting of layers of increased free-electron density caused by the ionizing effect of solar radiation. Note 1: The F region reflects normal-incident frequencies at or below the critical frequency (approximately 10 MHz) and partially absorbs waves of higher frequency. Note 2: The F1 layer exists from about 160 to 250 km above the surface of the Earth and only during daylight hours. Though fairly regular in its characteristics, it is not observable everywhere or on all days. The principal reflecting layer during the summer for paths of 2,000 to 3,500 km is the F1 layer. The F1 layer has approxi­mately 5 ´ 105 e/cm3 (free electrons per cubic centi­meter) at noontime and minimum sunspot activity, and increases to roughly 2 ´ 106 e/cm3 during maxi­mum sunspot activity. The density falls off to below 104 e/cm3 at night. Note 3: The F1 layer merges into the F2 layer at night. Note 4: The F2 layer exists from about 250 to 400 km above the surface of the Earth. The F2 layer is the principal reflecting layer for HF communications during both day and night. The horizon-limited distance for one-hop F2 propagation is usually around 4,000 km. The F2 layer has about 106 e/cm3. However, variations are usually large, ir­reg­ular, and particularly pronounced during magnetic storms.

good thing there are like 10 people in the world who know what that means

Pirate Radio forever man!

I transmit pirate radio on the 26.695 to 27.965 MHz band as well as the 69xx kHz pirate band.
