[MBZ] OT CONELRAD Alert!
OK I just heard it, and it was definitely a CONELRAD alert, it even had the same scratchy, staticky, barely understandable AM-during-bad-sunspot-activity lo-fi minimal-modulation quality that the CONELRAD alerts did back when. Maybe it was from a time warp channeling 50s transmissions to duck and cover. One might think that in these days of digital communications and various techniques for sending information over the airwaves, that it would sound like something vaguely understandable? Or maybe that is precisely the purpose of this technique, to survive The Big One? But will it come this time from the commies?

Re: [MBZ] OT CONELRAD Alert!
No but I did see JFKennedy drive by when I was like 8 yr old. They made us schoolkids stand out by the street waving flags when he went by. This was probably not long after he had been elected, I think I was in 2nd grade. I also remember the day he was shot, my teacher was really affected by it when it was announced. Not sure any of us kids knew exactly what it was about, but I do remember learning the word assassination the next couple of days. Weird times. I vaguely recall my dad making some comments about ol' Lyndon... I am encouraged by the CONELRAD alert today, looking forward to these folks running my health care. --R On 11/9/11 5:24 PM, Max wrote: So, did you ever meet Eisenhower? ___ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
Re: [MBZ] OT CONELRAD Alert!
Should have said Truman vice Eisenhower, here's the Wikipedia entry: CONELRAD (Control of Electromagnetic Radiation) was a method of emergency broadcasting to the public of the United States in the event of enemy attack during the Cold War. It was intended to serve two purposes; to prevent Soviet bombers from homing in on American cities by using radio or TV stations as beacons, and to provide essential civil defense information. U.S. President Harry S. Truman established CONELRAD in 1951. After the development of intercontinental ballistic missiles reduced the likelihood of a bomber attack, CONELRAD was replaced by the Emergency Broadcast System on August 5, 1963, which was later replaced with the Emergency Alert System in 1997; all were administered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). -- Max Dillon (who's Dad kept food stockpiles sealed in plastic in the basement after the Cuban excitement) Charleston SC '95 E300, '87 300TD Rich Thomas richthomas79td...@constructivity.net wrote: No but I did see JFKennedy drive by when I was like 8 yr old.

Re: [MBZ] OT CONELRAD Alert!
One of my earliest memories as a child was of JFK's funeral. I hadn't started school yet, but was marooned in the house as I had the mumps or chicken pox, and I was pissed that all the daytime (cartoon) programming was pre-empted by his funeral. Other than that I don't recall a whole lot about it. Oh - and we had a Sears Silvertone BW TV.
