Wow! google was my friend!!! "On 17 September 2024, communication pagers used by Hezbollah members simultaneously exploded across Lebanon and Damascus, Syria. 16 people were confirmed killed: nine in Lebanon and seven in Syria. Reports say that more than 3,000 were injured. Wikipedia." gotta watch those LiFePO batteries I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one of the funniest videos I have seen lately. Timely too. In rocketry we have a lot of little gadgets. One of our members had built a nice little business making kits (like Heathkit, but rocketry related). A couple of his kits are wifi switches, tiny little circuit boards that connect to a battery and to the rocketry electronics. The switch is very reliable and allows a person to arm the ejection charges while standing a safe distance away. $15 for the miniature version: https://eggtimerrocketry.com/home/altimeters-av-bay/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveShannon Posted yesterday at 02:40 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:40 PM In this video some guy says that the 5,000 pagers had their batteries replaced with battery assemblies containing explosives as well. It may have been done while they were being held in customs at a nearby country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lscott Posted yesterday at 04:22 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:22 PM Reminds me of the story of the interrogator walking in to the cell of a soon to be executed terrorist and gave him a box of condoms. The terrorist thanked the interrogator for thinking of him. The interrogator looked at the terrorist, smiled, and said they weren't for him, but for the 72 virgins where he would soon be going to.

Lscott Posted yesterday at 05:16 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:16 PM Can anyone identify the Icom radio model from the photo? Note the serial number was cut out of the tag on the radio on the left side of the photo. I'm guessing the antenna port is the silver thing on the left. Most of the Icom radios have the antenna port on the other side. Plus it only has one visible knob on the top which should narrow down the model. It could be an air band or a VHF marine band radio, since those seem to be primarily the Icom models that would have the antenna port on that side. https://www.atlanticradiocorp.com/collections/icom-portable-radios?srsltid=AfmBOop8gMs5sD9LSqWHCyBfgpZmtLuaE0mSdNQXEfZYr5fFQ9axPeCm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
