TAP No. 52 - Jim Phelps Issue

A special issue dedicated to outgoing co-editor ‘Jim Phelps,’ compiled entirely from material he wrote, commented on, or typed before departing after a year and a half at TAP; the editor’s dedication thanks him for his labor and notes all names have been changed ’to protect the guilty.’ Content Phelps left behind includes UK telephone-exchange fraud tips for exchanges using CAMA/LAMA operator identification, a reader account of a corporate credit card successfully validated by MCI’s voice-response system, and a request for a debugged schematic for a radar jammer after a prior issue’s radar-detector article proved popular. Also promotes the upcoming Technological Hobbyist Conference (THC-79).
JIM PHELPS ISSUE

Atque Vale
For those of us who eren't latin scholars, that means
“Hail and Farewell!" I co-edited TAP for 1$ years, and in
that time we got it into pretty good ehape, tho the mmber of
of volunteers has been disappointing. We've learned e lot,
met a few great people, same good people, a lot of mediocre
ones, and a number of yo-yos.
I could have gone into editing TAP full-time. But it
would have meant staying in or near Fun City and the (rotten)

One of the ways we've been advocating to Fight the
System has been to reduce - eliminate? - your dependence on
it. Produce your own food, power, shelter, clothing and grow
your own entertainment. Here I can attempt that.
We have from time to time recommended certain books,

Update from England
Where CAMA and LAMA exist on your exchange, the operator
will know the number you're on, so you can forget methods like
giving the # of a large bu
ss (or your exchange) as your
own mmber when making operator connected calls, or booking a
call for a later time to a pay phone # from a domestic phone
and being at the pay phone at the right time to receive it,
If the operator has to ask your f, it probably means you haven't
got CAMA or LAMA. On Velros (spelling?) that haven't, these
fraud methods will work (e.g., here in UK), Sorry if anyone
vas misled by my piece in #43,
“NYC has voice-response validation for CC calls, The "card"
I was using was that of a large corporation, The operator
asked me the area code on the card and after what seemed like
an age, the computer came back with "valid, valid, valid".
Thies was after a month of using the same "card" in Detroit,
Chieago, Montreal, Cleveland, etc, with no hassle. So either
I was lucky and picked a number to which a card was issued or
the machine doesn't connect to an actual data base of all
cards issued,
CB here is freaky. A friend who has a full wave serial has
been talking to Italian and Portuguese Amateur DXers, From

good plans for a linear? 100 watts should do. A pair of 5
watters cost 1195 ($355), so if you come to UK, just bring
some CBs. You can sell them easily at 300% profit. Mobiles
‘are unobtainable - putting a battery in a transceiver or
connecting up a mobile CB is illegal here. There is a network
of CBs in London only, but mostly used ‘by criminals.

NO. 52
In my personal correspondence with Mr. Phelps, he has
accused me (and rightly sol) of being an ego-maniac because
Inever mention him in TAP. Mr. Phelps has been physically
absent from TAP for well over a year now but he lives on here
in Libertarian spirit! I truly miss that Libertarian bastard
and all the fun we had arguing over TAP policies. Ever frugal
(cheap!), he would spend hours washing Elmer's Glue off 1¢
stamps. I would retaliate by sending out one issue of TAP
ordered by a reader in the largest envelope we had! Those
readers fortunate enough to have visited the TAP office during
his reign know the fun, labor, and love that "Jim Phelps" put
into the pages of TAP, It is with heart-felt thanks that I hereby
dedicate this issue of TAP to our "Jim Phelps". Everything
in this issue was either written, commented on, or typed by
Mr. Phelps. The opinions expressed here are his and do not
necessarily represent the opinions or views of TAP or its staff.
All names heve been changed to protect the guilty!

radio. A State Fuzz informed listeners that "The law is 55,
regardless of traffic speed. Just because the stream of
traffic is exceeding the limit, 1s not permission to speed,"
But EVERYONE (including the “authorities") agree that the
speed at which 80% of traffic is moving should be the speed
limit. Economy results from streamlining and efficient
engine design, not arbitrary limits. C&D urges us to "Vote

do this, but then they called the police, told them the Lam-

found a legitimate city construction area, reported to the
police that the Lampoon was at it-again, at that location,
then went there, and told the construction workers that some
people from the Lampoon had stolen a police car and some
uniforms and might show up there to hasele the workers, And
then stood back and watched.

Anyone can get frequencies of police stations in their
particular areas (except for Fede) by calling thie number
and giving name and address and area of interest: 800-428-

this number is correct!7 They make the Bearcat brand scan-

210 covers every channel you can think of between 30 Mc and
‘the top end of the UHF band. It will search

is between 154 and 157 Mc as an example, you can program
it
to scan that portion of the spectrum and hen the station .

you the exact frequency. You can then program thie specific

Here's one for you. Some kid fresh from California told
me the guys out there put a spark plug in the botton of a

FORTRESS ALARM
Isaue #30 ie best received. Congratulations. PT&TCo now
(1975) has fitted "sensitive" located paystations with an
electronic "tamper device” which gives a silent alarm if eny
attempt to ripoff is made. Apparently experimental at present.
Learned of three prosecutions where the artist was caught in
the act. First plead not guilty, sentenced to prison; second
plead guilty, got local time ~ 6 mos. and probation; third
(19 yrs old) got 3 mos, $300 fine and 3 years probation, At
trial of first, during preliminary, the new device was des-
eribed. It is ona card about 2" x 3" x 4" has a 16 lead IC
and mercury switch and is line powered, Red and Green and
Yellow leads pass thru it, plus three wires about a foot long.
How and where they are connected are unknown,

A dangerous trend is taking place
in the world, Small, lightweight,
easy-to-use arms fke the M-11 are
falling into the hands of all sorts of
people. Small arms and even heat-
seeking guided missiles like the So-
viet buill Sela launched by a man
on the ground can knock a jetliner
out of the sky at altitudes up to
6,560 feel. in 1973, Italian police
burst in on a group of terrorists in an
‘apartment under the traffic pattern
tour miles from Leonardo da Vinci
Airport near Réme. They had these
‘Streta rockets.
Other weapons weighing less
than 10 pounds can knock out a
tank, speakers platform or automo-
bile. The source of mast of these
weapons is National Guard armaries
in the United States. Other sources
are arms dealers who operate out of
“protected countries, tn the United
States, one of the most popular
weapons for terrarists is the AR-15.
{tis the civilian version of the miitary
M-16, itis manufactured by Colt and
can be bought in the U.S. by almost
‘anyone.

I've gotten back into-Amateur radio after being inactive
for about eleven years, and it is amazing the progress that
has been made in many things that should be of interest to
phone phreaks, Although not chesp, remote control, of phones
is quite easy and quite possible on Little used frequencies
in the 450 Me bends (using split channels) and once the re-
mote phone is dieled, full touch tone and blue box control
would be possible. I discussed this with another phreak in
San Frenciseo some time ago, about a group of phreake getting
- together to share expenses on such a project. If such a unit
was moved periodically, detection would be difficult.
‘The thing that really interests me, though, is the very
real possibility of learning the microwave operating freq-
uencies, and the satellite operating frequencies, and building
equipment to break right into the microwave long distance
equipment. With the proper radio transiitter, connected to
a BB, you would be able to seize a long distance microvave
Line with a 2600 Hs tone, without going through the C.0, at
all. Thies would make detection almost impossible. * ‘BUT ‘WE

they couldn't forget to put the switch in the "off" position

is the possibility that OPEC did what it did largely at the
urging of America's oil companies! i.e, the companies ‘shose
ofl wells are in America, By jacking up the price of Arab

and, ofcourse, any they sold to the Japanese, etc. would
