And I wasn't trying to sand bag you there either - I wouldn't do that. I was being a smart ass and I apologize for that. The trick to using recreational radars, even the 2 Kw class radome antennas, is to set it for extreme range and reduce the discrimination a bit. Now I'll admit that a good set of binoculars on a small boat like the Ranger is a hell of a lot more useful than a 2 Kw radar system set for marginal operating conditions, but it can be done with practice and operating experience. On the Contender, it's a different ball game. I have an open array 4 Kw and at mid to extreme ranges, it will pick up large flocks of birds working surface bait. Now the relative advantage to this escapes me because if you see a flock of birds working you only have two choices - either head for the flock or move in front of the flock and set up for whatever you might think is causing the bait ball to surface. And the chances are the flock will move away at a tangent relative to you, so you end up chasing anyway. :) Now before you start going but, but, but - yes, 10 Kw and up radars with some height work much better for birds than small boat radars. The Audubon Society uses radar all the time to track migratory birds - they even wrote a book about it but I can't find the book at the moment. If you Google it, like birds on radar, I'm sure you can find it. For the big game guys, it is a good tool. For the recreational schmuck like me it's relative. The point is that you can't make a blanket statement that you can't pick up birds on recreational radar because, with training, some experience and the right setup, you can do it. Later, Tom Why would any boater bother to set their radar up to track birds? To find baitfish, or whatever fish the birds are diving on. Under the baitfish, there may well be something larger and more interesting. Off the Florida coast, I (along with other serious sportfisherguys) would also look for logs or other debris floating in the ocean. The debris attracted small marine life, the small marine life attracted baitfish and the baitfish attracted something you might want to catch. With open array radar right off the Florida coast, you could find birds diving close to shore. That told you where the bait was, so you'd run over to the area and castnet for shrimp or pogies or whatever, and fill your live well. Of course, if you spent most of your boating time tied to the marina dock, the dockboy would bring you a fish dinner, eh? This is just Krause BS lies!!!! This is his MO & it's sort of your own personal IQ test if you believe him you're an idiot. K Your Krause lie for the day is the one where he pretends Ullico the union thug pension fund is actually "his" business, when in reality it's where he works:-) But the interesting thing here is get a go of how they spend hard working unionists' money on themselves!!! I'm not wondering if the liar Krause won't come back & tell us this is a lie just so unionists' don't twig to what a rip off he & his mates a-) We have first-class benefits, including a top-of-the-line health insurance plan, a non-contributory defined-benefit pension plan, a 401k, and a life insurance policy equal to annual salary. We contribute a share of profits to the 401k on behalf of the employee. Our employees pay $4.50 for generic prescriptions and $8.00 for non-generics, but that's going up next year to $10 and $15. New employees get two weeks vacation the first year, and that goes to three weeks the third year. In addition, we have 12 paid holidays and we shut down from noon on Christmas eve to the day after New Year's Day. We also provide 20 days of paid sick leave a year. And we have an outside company administering pre-tax flexible bennies for our employees. Our fringe benefit package follows the trade union model, except, of course, for the profit contributions to 401k's. Trade unions are not-for-profit enterprises. How do these compare to the bennies at your shop? Paid? Every year? I call "bull****". With 3 weeks vacation, 12 paid holidays, and 20 paid sick days that's 47 *paid* days off every year. Are they hourly employees? For a "small business", that's the road to bankruptcy. Boy...and you had me going there for a minute. Not quite so simple, though you are trying hard to make it so. Our business is up because we're on the cusp of an election year. Our business always goes up in a major election year. You could say we're going to be doing very well in 2004 because Bush is such a total failure. The 20 paid sick days aren't part of the "paid" days off unless those days are used. None of our people abuses sick leave. In fact, no one as yet has even come close to using 20 sick days in one year. They're there in case they're needed. Oh, I forgot. We also provide everyone with LTD. The company provides an insurance plan that pays 50% of an employe's salary for Long Term Disability. Employes have the option of purchasing an additional 16.66%, bringing their total to 66.66%. The basic benefit maximum is $4,000 per month. With the buy up, the limit is increased to $10,000 per month. |

He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ...." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003 |

Harry is no longer using YoHo to fish, he is using his 36' Lobster Boat to
fish. I thought he purchased YoHo so he didn't have to get his lobster boat dirty with fish guts. He really is too funny. "HarryKrause" wrote in message ...

The world is safer because you are boatless. " Radar showed the birds really were active, in and over about 40 feet of water, ..." Seeing birds on radar. Seeing water depths on radar. Hilarious. Let's try to break this down for you into a few (but not all) possibilities: You have a radar set. You have a chartplotter. Your radar images can be superimposed over your chartplotter images. Your charterplotter's "map" shows depths or marked contour curves or both. Got the picture? You have a radar set. You have a chartplotter. They are separate instruments. You are familiar enough with the capabilities of your radar set to guesstimate how far away the birds are...and when you look at your chartplotter, you see the depths or marked contour curves or both. Got the picture? You have a radar set. You are really familiar with your area, so when the set says "birds," you know by looking at the monitor where the area is, and you know the water depth there is 10-12 feet at low tide, or whatever. Got the picture? Let's repeat what you originally claimed: "Radar showed the birds really were active, in and over about 40 feet of water, ..." Note the key word....radar...not chartplotter, not depth sounder....radar. Tracking birds with radar......yeach sure. There are more possibilities, but I don't want you to fry your brain. I see you are back to the insults Krause. I guess that is the sign you again lost this discussion. Since you are NOT a boater, and never were a serious fishermen, you ought not to make comments that so clearly show you don't know your butt from a hole in the ground, eh? Oh I am a boater...a boatless one at present but still a boater. I see you are back to the insults Krause. I guess that is the sign you again lost this discussion. How is that custom made 36 foot lobster boat that you have? You have not talked about it much lately. Are you hoping that folks will somehow forget your claims about it? Take a picture of the radar screen next time you are out of the birds being tracked. Pretty funny stuff Krause. I will release you now.....I have had my fun catching you and playing with you for a while. Have a nice day. |
