    Car Jacking - 12/26/09

    I'm sure that there is an attempt to "protect" the privacy of the victims, but it would be nice to know HOW it actually happened!!! Is it some ruse that was used to get them to stop?? were they run off the road??? were there gunmen standing in the middle of the road???? That would definitely...

    Nice video Rosy...but for now, it's "words"...I want to see the action. I do have to note that last night when I drove back up to the border to meet my daughter and her mom who were coming down, there were 2 federale highway patrol units working the stretch outside of Sonoyta....maybe in...

    Crossing 12/30, w/ expired/no passports

    Maybe based on an initial "profile" of your friends, the customs people felt the "need" to handcuff.....and yes, there is profiling.....they couldn't do their job if there wasn't, for all you ACLU types :stir::rofl: I sometimes bring two large jetskis across....sometimes they give them a...

    Didn't quite understand the sequence of events, but were the hijaackers originally caravaning with the Canadian?

    Crossing 12/30, w/ expired/no passports

    I've also seen people get cuffed in front of me on line....but it was always for some other reason and not for not having their passport.....

    Direct TV

    Once I got a digital signal strength meter, it made it much easier....I used to go thru the same thing you describe before the meter. Stay away from the analog meters....there is too much of a lag, and when you're tired and/or impatient, you will miss the signal.

    Crossing 12/30, w/ expired/no passports

    And you have actually seen this??? I come across at least once a month....and have never seen anyone get handcuffed SOLELY for not having a passport if they have other paperwork (birth certificate)....I can see if there are drugs or something found....

    After I responded, I recalled that I've used 151 degrees when I've set mine up...as a start, then fine tune it with the meter Kenny...are you down there (Penasco) right now?

    Thanks Mark....I've got wetsuits....it's the initial shock and retraction of certain body parts when I launch that I'm not crazy about!:rofl: I've got the range on my jetskis (a good 80 miles if I'm not full throttle), but don't know if I want to go roaming around 20 miles out.....

    Direct TV

    Agree....that's a good start....but I don't know if Jerry's got any close enough neighbors to use as a guide.... Something I forgot to mention....I'm not sure if the degrees given are "true" or magnetic...the 147 or 149....is most likely "true", so if Jerry's using a compass, he would have to...

    The numbers I got for Phoenix, which work for me in Penasco are: Elevation: 49.1 Azimuth: 147.1 The numbers from AZ Miguel should also work...at least to get a signal, then fine tune. I have a digital strength meter that helps considerably instead of listening to the toning from the receiver...

    Dead on here....

    That is one crazy Aussie!!! The fish was bigger than the jetski! Could have been one crazy DEAD Aussie..... There's a company that sells a setup for the back of jetskis...a frame for a cooler, and also holders for fishing poles.....I got one for the cooler.
