Shooting on Virginia Tech campus
The saddest thing of all with the whole VA deal is that it could have been EASILY prevented with one modification of VA law and VT policy to allow possession of a given item on campus. I will say no more.- plain old dave

Vintage Heat?
Maybe a bit of clarification is in order.... The links discuss more or less discuss concealed carry (which I will not comment on as political discussion is banned); my question probably should have been phrased, "Which firearms best exemplify/typify The Golden Age?"- plain old dave

Aimee Semple McPherson
Sister Aimee was every bit the Joel Osteen or Joyce Meyer of her generation. A pioneer televangelist (radio-evangelist?), she was one of the first evangelists to use radio to spread the Gospel. Most historians agree hers was the first megachurch, and she founded The Foursquare Church, one of the...- plain old dave

Your Favorite Years? What time period do you follow?
Tie:1900-1926 and 1946-1950. Why: 1) Even the guns had panache. Park a Smith and Wesson New Century (AKA Triple Lock) or Colt New Service revolver next to a Sig or Glock, or a Remington Model 81 rifle next to a M4 and you'll see what I'm talking about... 2) The cars had character. Park...- plain old dave

Transmitting your own signal
Cathode modulation just might be better for low power, but I for one am glad the people that have that website think cathode modulation sounds better than plate modulation. Cathode modulation (like old Drake Twins or any rig that has sweep tube finals) just doesn't have the full, rich sound of a...- plain old dave

Transmitting your own signal
You know a plate-modulated tube transmitter would be JUST the thing for this. Nothing quite has the tone of plate modulated A3E... I just don't know of any transmitter low powered enough to not require a license. Solid state transmitters sound, well, tinny.- plain old dave
