I may not bring as much there as I meant to. I wanted to show off my modified, compact, augmented, MSJ2289, you know, jolscoping dipole antenna with the canela type, feline type valence, which I have in a tiny tripod. It's very minimal that way, but it still has a 2.5 meter long pole. So without coils, it's a 20 meter half-wave type pole. But you can add the coils, I added a coil so I could even tune down to 40 meters easily with only short poles to make it more compact. I'm probably not going to bring it because there's too much to bring on. And I'm going to take the 24 and the 33 to get there. But I may still bring my KX2. Oh, and there's a request, two requests. One is James wants to see my Bekali adventure key, which is tiny. It fits in a shirt pocket. And also Jim, K7PD said, Kevin if you're listening, Jim wants to know what frequency you bring your parasette. And we do any operating at all. But you're rock bound. Jim, K7PDZ wants to monitor to see if he can hear us, if it happens. So he wants to know what frequency, what rock bound frequency you want to use, if it happens, that he can try monitoring that frequency from the lake.

And yeah, great to hear from you. Thanks for finding us. Alright, next on this list, I think I got the call sign wrong. I think it might have been Jim, but I'm not totally sure. I copied K-7P-J-Z, but maybe it's not. If that's you, come back. Hey, good evening Ben. Yes it is. May jim K-7P-J-Z. I was checking in from my phone and it's always, I always, I always over modulate that. And I'm sorry about that. I didn't do well. But anyway, it's good to hear the station from the Queensland there. I always refer to that as the station that is in the future. Because it's already is tomorrow and it's ours today, so they're in the future. Anyway, hey we're having a good time over here at Deer Lake. Great day today. It was hot. We had a high of 92 degrees here. That's too hot for me. We spent most of our day inside. But I did get my project thing of replacing all 12 of the smoke detectors that we have in the proper here. And then the steam indicator had a great little ride on the seat cycle. And we finally finalized the plans. Then it hit the final idea for how we're going to put lights on it. We're going to put lights on it so it can go out after sunset. And so we finally figured that one out. We're going to get some battery marine lights on there. Green on the right on the starboard. Red on the port side. And white light to the rear. And we're going to be able to go out anytime we want to after dark. And today would have been a good one because it's still 77 degrees here. The lake is absolutely flat and it's a fun time here. Anyway, thanks for doing that. And 7-3 to everybody back on the other side of the hill. This is Tim and Jane at Deer Lake.

And so the local installer here in Spokane was supposed to get back to me, and of course he's never called me, and they don't give me a phone number to call them. So I'm a little frustrated, so I'm gonna have to get back on, chase that down on Monday, tomorrow. Back to you, Jack, K7, PDZ. All right, well that sounds like a service call to me. All right, well that might eat into your flight so I get four pairs in that cargo, so that's too bad. All right, we'll pick that conversation up later. Jim, great to hear you, say hi to Jane. All right, we had a comment in there, I wanna check that was WA7AD, was that you, Michael? If so, go ahead. Thank you, Jack, yes it was, was K7AD, I'm mobling, I just turned on the radio, I'm downtown Kirkland. Escargot, Lynn's Bistro, I've eaten it many times, but she's closed now, so it's served in a very strong garlic butter sauce, it's excellent. And so if you find a good French restaurant, you can probably have a good one. So she had very good escargot. And I think that's a good thing, she had very good escargot. And I think Jim referred to the, look at that car with the S on it go, the escargot. I can't remember that joke anymore. I was gonna make a comment the other day about Jim's fire and smoke alarms. I have seven or eight, I can't remember which, but the four in the common areas had a 10 year life on them, and as soon as 10 years done, the thing starts chirping like crazy, you have to replace it. And all mine are hardwired, and they're all connected together so one fails, and they all start to tell you, fire alert, fire alert. You need to change this thing so you can plug it in yourself. I'm sure in ET if they're monitoring you, they wanna, for your fire alarms, they wanna put their own in and probably make a big bundle of money on it, but they plug right in. But it's interesting, the only ones that we had to replace at the 10 year life were the common area ones, the ones in the bedrooms. Their bedrooms didn't have to be replaced. This is, but they're hardwired, but they have a backup battery, but it's hardwired, the backup battery doesn't get much use. Anyway, interesting, Jack, thanks for making my comment on the S Gargo, that's yummy. Back to you, sir, Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta. All right, we're moving into the food challenge round now here on the PSRG nine o'clock net with Jack, KI7R, have you, and commenter, WA7AD, Michael. So Muskrat, okay, Jim brought that up and I was like, okay, what is going on here? Am I just losing my mind? Did he just say he likes Muskrat? Which apparently, if cooked correctly, can be pretty good. But would you recommend for Muskrat, if you know Michael, would you cook that in a heavy garlic butter? I don't know, I've eaten just about anything, Jack, as you can tell. Probably in a barbecue type red sauce, I don't know how barbecue sauce maybe. One of my favorite foods when I was in college working at the liquor store in the public market, McLean's Market, I'd have barbecue pigs freed at a Filipino restaurant. I thought they were fantastic. So anything that's cooked right, it's yummy. I don't know, I haven't had loop fish though, I don't know about that. Back to you, Jack, Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta. Did you say Ludefisk? Yes, sir. All right, well I saw a WQ78 key up earlier. His station looked like it locked up, I had to disconnect him, but hopefully James will come back and tell us about Ludefisk because he and the Sons of Norway are commonly, well, I don't know, maybe quarterly, half yearly, something like that, are looking for so much Ludefisk. So much Ludefisk, it just turns your stomach thinking about all that Ludefisk. Anyway, yeah, it says here that in, offer prepared in various ways, this is muskrat now, including fried barbecue or in stews and is known for its unique flavor, which is often described as beefy or lamb-like rather than gamey or fishy when prepared properly. How about that? All right, so you were right there on the barbecue anyway. Okay, Michael, you have a great day and have a, say I do, Kathy for me if you would. All right, let's continue on. This is Jack, KI7RBU, as I said, 9.33 a.m. on a Sunday morning, nine o'clock net. If you'd like to join us, call, sign, and name. K7MG, Mickle and Muckletillo. All right, King of Corn, Mickle, I've got you, who's next? All-star notes, Miss Whiskey, KOB87, Hotel, this is James. James, thank you, who's doubling with James? This is Kilo Kilo 7, Mike Sulu Whiskey, Brian. Stand by, Brian, all right, who's next, please? KK7IJZ, KK7IJZ, Rebecca. All right, Rebecca, all right, I've got you on the list. Anybody else? KG7ODB, recheck. Start here, recheck in while it's fresh there, Dean, and then we'll go back and we'll pick it up with Mickle. K7OGB, proceed. This is Mickle, but it's K7MGE, just like my initials, so we'll try to get that correct on your list there, Jack. I have to say, Jack, you always come up with great subjects. I was just gonna do an I-O, but I have to respond to the snail discussion. Yes, I've had that before, but it was in Asian. Of course, they don't call it, the French words there. It's different, but that's not the most interesting thing. In fact, there's some things I'm not sure what it was that I ate, and that happens when you're traveling through strange and distant countries. Now, I know most of you folks think all I do is eat corn, but in fact, on one occasion, I was at a banquet and we were in the midst of eating live scorpions. Now, I gotta tell you, eating a live scorpion is something that you gotta be kinda careful, and you put the live scorpion in a little Maotai and get him drunk, and then you put him in a little junk and then get the stinger out and go for it. Actually, they're not so bad, but most things, as was said earlier, most things that are cooked properly, whatever it is, be it donkey, horse, a scented cat, or whatever, can taste actually good, unless of course you're a strict vegetarian, I would say. Anyway, this is K7MGE, Michael and Michael Teal, back to the net. Have a good day, everyone. All right, well, Michael, I wanna clear something up here. I have your call signed down correctly. However, what happened was Dean checked in. He's got a quick recheck, KG70DB. I had called him for his quick recheck, and then I said, and then we'll go to Michael. So that's what happened there. But wait a minute, hold on a second. I just wanna clear that up. But the live scorpions, okay, now these are, these have gotta be like little tidbit type, right? So maybe two inches long, and how big are these live scorpions, no stingers you were eating? Well, sorry for the misunderstanding on the earlier arrangement, because you really do do a good job with managing people and getting them in line, and I'm sorry to be out of line. About two inches, I would say. The interesting thing is, of course, they come a couple of ways. When they're live, they just come alive to the table, and you kinda pick them up with your chopsticks and get them a little bit drunk, and then pull the stinger out, and they don't really taste like much that way. The way that they taste a little bit better is when they're deep fat fried, and of course, you know, it's just the oil, so they kinda taste like french fries. K7MGE, back to net. Have a good day, everybody. Well, at least they don't taste like chicken, right? Okay, well that's interesting. They taste like french fries. Alright, well, on now, I wanna just go off planet, and we're just gonna go completely fictitious here, but let's talk about the Klingons' favorite, one of their favorite little delicacies is gash, which is basically mealworms, and I think on Next Generation, that's what they used was bowls of mealworms, kinda all moving around in the bowl. So, what you eat, gash, by chance. Back to you, Mikkel. My goodness, I'm getting some time on the net today. This is K7MGE. Well, it depends on how they served it. I mean, it's amazing, you know, you look around the world, and people eat all kinds of strange things, and oftentimes, times are pretty good. There are only a few things that I've really had trouble with. One, of course, was Mongolian tea, where they put, where they put grease in the tea, and it just, I couldn't take that, but I think it's a good thing. I don't think I'd have a problem with that if other people were eating it, if it had flavor."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-05T09:17:53+00:00","id":14325,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":14324,"text":" All right, let's get started.

Let's see, happy Tuesday, everyone. I'm in the middle of a project in the home office, but getting everything out of the office so that we can take the popcorn ceiling down and get the walls painted. And then I've got some new desks and new cabinets put back in there, so kind of a little office remodel, which is kind of part two of, you know, we had done that earlier in the front room, in the hallway, in the kitchen and stuff. So that's what we got going on now. And then looking forward to this weekend, the rain or shine net over at Green Lake, the ice cream social should be a ton of fun. So thanks for using that, Bill. 7-3, everyone. K-9, B-D-C. All right, thank you, Brooks. Yeah, fun with that remodel. Boy, the popcorn ceiling. I remember that in a previous house many, many years ago. We'd been here for a long time. Had popcorn ceilings that we did not like, got rid of. And boy, it sure made it look better and more up with the times, more than anything. So have fun with it and enjoy the freeway. WA-7AD. Good morning, Michael. Good morning to you, Bill. This is Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. Michael just near downtown Kirkland. And hello to everybody listening on the net. It looks like it's going to be a lovely day here, Bill. It's about 60, 61 already. Mostly clear skies. This looks lovely out. I got a few little errands I'm going to do in the morning. And I'm going to start packing for the Bigfoot 200. And I leave there Friday morning. We camped out for four or five nights, I think it is, in the mountains with our radio here helping communicate. So that's all that's going on here. Thanks for on the net. You sound great, as usual. Everybody have a safe day. And remember, it's a good day to have a good day. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. All right. Well, you have a good day also. Safe day. And enjoy your coffee. And let's see. You said 61, 54 in Clearview already. And it's supposed to get up to 74, I noticed, on the forecast. So kind of a mild day, but a pretty one. And the sun is shining. And when I looked at the weather forecast last evening, there was rain coming. We need some rain. All right. Thank you, Michael. V01 UKZ. Good morning, Daryl. Good morning to you, Bill. And hello to Gail in there earlier. Just saw a correction on Gail's call sign. It's K0 ECK, I do believe. Unless I'm mistaken. Kilo zero, equi-terally kilo. But either way, I hope you're having a good day. Hope everybody out there is having a good day. We got a beautiful one up here, man. It's a nice, cool 70 degrees. Well, cool or warm, whatever way you want to look at it. Here in Newfoundland, it's rather warm. You know, for the summer, we've been having it anyway. Temperatures have been way down. Even after the icebergs pulled offshore or melted or whatever they do, the temperatures just didn't get much warmer than 70 degrees. So we had yesterday as well, I believe, 70 or 71. But it's been nice and sunny. We've got a couple of massive wildfires burning on the island here right now, which is never good. When that happens, we got smoke into the city here and a couple of big ones going in Conception Bay North. We had a fire ban on here for the last month or two. And the province lifted the fire ban for the weekend. And now all of a sudden, we've got a whole bunch of wildfire, or two big wildfires going here. So hopefully, they don't cause any deaths. That's always the worst. Property can be replaced. But when it comes to human lives, that's not something you can take for granted. Anyhow, you have a great day. Everybody on board. Same from here on the rock. This is E01, UKZ. All right. Thank you, Dale. And yeah, these wildfires are, well, they're dangerous, first off. And it's a shame that we have to deal with them. But on the other hand, I guess they're part of nature. And it's forests and brush land renewing itself. But boy, it can cause a lot of damage if they're not under control. And we got a bunch of them here in the Northwest. Nothing anywhere near us but near Dave, who is next up here. And so anyway, thank you, Darrell. This is W7PAS with the 9 o'clock net, KD7. Pop up whiskey, bravo. Morning, Dave. Well, good morning, Bill. And to everybody on the net, hi to Darrell. They're on the rock. And boy, yeah, I can definitely identify with wildfires. The last time we had was way, way too close, especially with bombers like right over the top of the house. So there you go. Anyway, I got a beautiful day shaping up here in the high desert. We're going to hit about 82 today, and just gorgeous. Sunny and nice and warm. Oh, man, looking forward to a nice day. Got a little shopping to do, but and then it's into the wood shop. And I've been getting a couple of neat pieces of landscape Jasper on the rock saw, so that's been kind of fun. And so while it's doing its thing, I can be working on guitars. Yeah, kind of a combination of all kinds of stuff going on in the shop today. So with that, I will say 73s and get at it. So all the chores of the day. Well, 73s, thanks for doing the net, Bill. Hi to Karen there, of course. And we will catch you later. K87, Pop up whiskey, bravo, Dave, the high desert pirate radio. All right, thank you, Dave. And yeah, those fires are getting pretty close to you. I was looking at the fire map yesterday or day before. And that one that's, oh, let's see, where was it?

Morning, Chip. Well good morning there Bill and everybody out there today. Yeah, we're, uh, it's a kind of cool day here at the lake, at least starting out the morning. It's only 62, and uh, it's a little kind of thin, thin layer of clouds, and so we're supposed to have rain tomorrow. So we'll see how that goes. We can certainly use it here. We're like 20% blown, or 80%, we only have 20% of the rainfall we're supposed to have for most of the summer, so it's really super dry over here. And so we'd love that, and kind of get some of these fires under control. Plus, we had a rash this morning, or overnight, of some arson fires in the Spokane area. So, uh, anyway, that's, uh, yeah, I wish it would rain hard, weigh everything down. Uh, other than that, not much going on. Today I don't think we're going to get any water. Today is a little, uh, really windy out there, and so it's not going to warm up much today, I don't think. So, anyway, that's all. I just wanted to get in here and say good morning, and uh, we'll talk to everybody later. This is Jim and Jane at Deer Lake, K7, PDZ. Alright, thank you Jim, and Jim and Jane at Deer Lake. Well, you said it's 62 there, and uh, I just looked, and it's uh, 60, uh, 62 here right at the moment. And, for some reason, my weather thing went to Lake Stevens, which is not that far north of us, but they're two degrees warmer. Interesting. Alright, yeah, these fires get over your way for sure, and I know there's a big fire at the, uh, kind of the north end of Lake Chelan, that's probably laying smoke down all over the place. Um, we drove up to Anacortes on Sunday, and they had a bird festival, which was really cool. But anyway, we drove up there on the way back, uh, clear skies here, but very definitely smoke up over the Cascades. This is the station Kilo Kilo 7 November, Quebec, November. All-Star Note 62.2, located at Chelsea. Alright, thank you Jim. AI6XD, good morning. Thank you, AI6XD here. Uh, yeah, it's a beautiful day down here in Burien. I'm just wrapping up a test that I've been doing over the last week with my HF radio. I've got a multiband antenna set up in my backyard, and I've had a time-lapse camera pointed at the radio, uh, so I can sort of see what time of day each of the bands are good, and, uh, my takeaway is 7pm. So I thought that was very interesting. Thank you, AI6XD. Alright. Boy, there's just so many cool things to play with on the computer and on your phone. Um, yeah, I enjoy that. There's some pretty useful things. Plus I read a lot of, uh, and I check e-books out from the library and read them on my laptop or on my phone. Alright, this is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning. Over to Scotland. M-M-0-R-K-N. Good morning. M-M-0-R-K-N. We're coming. Yeah, very good morning to everybody on the net. And, yes, thanks for saying good morning. It's almost evening here in Scotland. And quite a busy day today. I've been working today and watching my son, who's nine years old. He's thankfully coming to the end of his school holidays, uh, within the next week and a half, so he's definitely leaving back to the routine, as am I. But, um, we had a bit of a storm yesterday, and thankfully the storm didn't cause any damage, but we did have strong winds and heavy rain in Scotland and across the UK yesterday. And, um, it caused quite a lot of travel disruption. Most of the trains, ferries and buses and all that sort of thing were cancelled. But thankfully things are getting back to normal today. Still a little bit windy, but still 18 degrees Celsius. And thankfully not much rain today, so not a lot to complain about, so that's always good here. Anyway, thanks to net control for letting me check in. This is Mike, Mike-0, Romeo, Kilo, November, depending on your back to net control. Alright, thank you. And, uh, yeah, thank you for joining us. I believe you've been here before, and it's always great to hear from you. Well, plans change, don't they? Uh, get, uh, all the, everything planned, ready to go, and then some, some, something comes along, and, uh, all of a sudden you're rewriting the schedule, or, yeah, rewriting chores or whatever.

Yeah, hey, we've had a great day here at Deer Lake. Oh man, right now it was cool today. It was only high of 66 and right now it's raining. We are sitting outside under the umbrella and that's so cool to sit outside in a rain shower. But anyway, let's see what else. Oh, Jay was reading a book today and it had a new word in it that I have never seen before. Or read before and we talked about it and now I'm trying to incorporate it into my daily vocabulary. I was so frightened I was cowry wobbled. It just rolled up, cowry wobbled. It rolls off the tongue. It sounds like something that Amy could pick up on and do a whole lot of stuff with. Cowry wobbled. Oh man. Anyway, it was really cold today actually. The wind was blowing up. It was 62 degrees and the wind was blowing hard. And now it's 62 degrees and it's no wind so it was very pleasant outside tonight. So Amy, pick up on cowry wobbled. See what you can do with that one. That just sounds like it's right up your alley. Anyway, that's all I got here Brooks and Megan. And you guys have a great evening. 7th race everybody. This is Jim and Jay at Tier Lake K7. Cowry wobbled. Peace. Well, thank you there Jim. Cowry wobbled. Alright. I was trying to Google that. I couldn't quite figure out how to spell it. But you're right. That does sound like an Amy word and hopefully she's still listening and is picking up on that one right now. But yeah, it sounds like you got a nice day over there. Nice and cool with the rain. We had some rain here today also. And yeah, after all of the heat that we've had and the dryness, the rain is definitely welcome for a little bit of a day. And you know, it's going to keep some of the vegetation wet. Hopefully reduce some of the fires and things like that. Well good stuff there Jim. Thanks for stopping by. Radio waves over there to Jane as well. And you have a good rest of your night. Okay, next on the list is Rich. K3OE Rich. Have you got a fun antenna for us tonight? Over to you. Good evening Brooks and Megan. Yes indeed I certainly do and I posted a picture already. So anyway, it's a bicycle theme. So I got a bicycle wheel and handlebars on top. And SWR is not too bad. Round 2, 2.1, something like that. Anyway, we'll be right back. So I got a bicycle wheel and handlebars on top. And SWR is not too bad. Round 2, 2.1, something like that. Anyway, more than acceptable. So I was able to check in on it. So that's a good thing. Anyway, not much else going on here. My station manager, Paul, he got me out three times today. So he's making sure that I get my steps in. But it was a pleasant day for walking. So anyway, always great to hear both of you on the air.

Hey, good morning, you, Bill, and everybody listening on the net. Could be a short net or we get to talk a long time, Bill. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta Michael here in Kirkland, just north of downtown. And it's a rainy day out, everybody knows that. I wonder if Jim's, the little snow he's getting rain over there at the lake. Rained about two tenths of an inch, rain two tenths yesterday, really poured for us last night. I heard it anyway, I'm humid right now, though I can feel that too. So I'm not doing too much here, I'm packing for the Bigfoot. And they moved our site to a site that is not very large and I don't know if it's gonna be able to take all the vehicles and people. And we may have competition from regular campers too, so anyway, we'll see. On Saturday morning, I go down tomorrow to a place called Coldwater Lake for one night and set up ham gear. Anyway, that's what's going on over here, Bill. Not much else to talk about. Everybody should have a safety out there. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta. All right, thank you, Michael. Well, it's kind of a gray day. And looking out there, I just see a gray sky behind my two telltale trees. And they're just sitting there, so there's no breeze to speak of. So yep, it's a gray day. And a gray day, I suppose. All right. Thank you, Michael. And Rich, how's the listing going? W4RCH, good morning. Good morning, Bill. Good morning, everyone on that. Listing's going pretty good. We're going to have our first open house this weekend. We've had a little bit of traffic, which is always encouraging. So we'll just play it day by day. You know, the wonderful thing about selling a house is you never know what's gonna happen 10 minutes from now. Anyway, yeah, it definitely is gray here and very, very calm. Supposed to be sunny this afternoon or warm up a good bit, but I was grateful to see the little bit of rain that we had. We had a total of just under half an inch, but the ground is a little damp now. I don't know if I'd really call it wet. But every little bit helps this time of year. We're grateful for it. The straw that we call grass might actually show a little bit of green, but I don't know that we've had enough water for that to really happen. Anyway, that's life here in Lake Stevens. This is Rich, W4RCH. Back to you, Bill. All right, thank you, Rich. Yeah, I hate that yellow, dried look of a lawn. So we keep ours watered, fortunately. We're on a independent water system here in a large aquifer, so it's fairly inexpensive to keep it green. But yeah, half an inch of rain. I didn't look at the rain gauge. That's enough to get things started to green up. That'll be nice. But summer's not over yet. We'll still have lots of dry weather. All right, thank you, Rich. K7, PDZ. Morning, Jim. Good morning, Bill. And everybody out there today. And we had rain last night too here. It was just a gentle rain, and it was really still pretty warm out there. And so we sat out in the rain, basically. We do not have a covered deck here, or a covered patio. So we put up the umbrella. We have our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our sun umbrella is rectangular. It's about five by seven when it's up. So we just put the, put the umbrella over our two chairs and a table. We sat out in the rain and it was, it was so much fun. It was just so, so, so enjoyable doing that. Haven't done that for a long time. Always had a, always had a covered, a covered front porch. So we used to sit out, out in the, when it was raining back in Ohio all the time. So this was, this was, we haven't done that for a long time. So we had a lot of fun doing that. And today we're supposed to have, it's sunny out here now, 63 degrees, but we're supposed to have some standard thunderstorms this afternoon. So not going to plan on doing too much outside today. So anyway, I don't know. That's about all that's going on here. Been watching our neighbors. They're having, they're having, there's some divers out in front of their place. They were here yesterday. They're using a vacuum system to suck up all the weeds, all the seaweed under their dock and in their swimming area. So I hate to think how much that's costing them. So anyway, that's about all we got going on here. So it's time for maybe by now, people have gotten a little bit of coffee in them and are waking up. So anyway, that's all I got to. So just like Michael, we'll talk as long time as I can. Back to you, Bell, 73's everybody. And Michael, you have a lot of fun there on your Bigfoot this weekend. So anyway, 73's, this is Jim and Jane at Deer Lake K7. PDZ. All right, thank you, Jim. Well, scattered thunderstorms. That could be a pretty dramatic afternoon. And yeah, get some rain out of it also probably. Well, I hope it's just a dramatic afternoon and doesn't start any fires or anything. Then you're talking about the vacuuming of the lake. That just sounds a bit weird. And I bet it is expensive. But yeah, to get a swimming area cleared out like that, that's pretty nice. Interesting to say the least. All right. This is the nine o'clock bend for a Thursday morning. More check-ins, please. All right. Whiskey Quebec 7 Hotel, this is James. Good morning, James. WQ 7H, next please.

So there you go That's my story Of temperature. There you go Yeah, we got some warm temperatures coming in here for sure I know that the Willamette Valley is gonna be up in the hundreds But I think we're only gonna get up into the upper 90s in the next couple of days so we'll see today's big project we are going down to the County Fair Creek County Fair and Yeah, yeah talk about critical reports You know Sam wants to go to the 4-h Auction which is really fun because you know, these kids have been raising these you know everything from from cows the steers the to turkeys and chickens rabbits you name it and the fun one was last year we were there and a the blue ribbon Turkey Tom Sold for 275 dollars and it was a 27 pound turkey and that's per pound They were paying for this thing so think about that for a little bit that's one expensive Thanksgiving dinner, but actually they'll use it as breeding stock.

It's just 1 34 p.m. here in St. John's, Newfoundland this afternoon. And we've got a thoroughly decent day out there. We got a temperature of 28. Yeah, 28 degrees Celsius. Not sure exactly what that is in Fahrenheit, but I guess you can do the math if you're interested. 28 Celsius anyway. So definitely the warmest day we've had so far this summer actually. The highest we had before this was 25 and I don't think that's quite 80. I don't think 20, 28 is quite 80. I'm not sure now could be. I'm not 100 percent, but it's warm by Newfoundland standards anyhow. Not really much going on just here in the shade trying to to beat the heat. So I'll be listening till the end of the net. 7 3 and all the best from here on the rock. This is the 01. Hey, Daryl. Thanks for your report. Good to hear from you.

Up next is Matt, KI6 KTE. Good morning, Matt. Good morning, Dana. How is my signal? Wow, you sound truly mic 5. You sound great. Go ahead. OK, good morning. And I am talking about a portable, which is why I asked, because I am messing with my my non portable rig. I'm trying to make it a functional all star node. I figured I was thinking I would love to have an all star node when I travel so I could check in the nets and stuff. And I don't I don't love the these droid star experiences. It's passable, but I'd like something better. Anyways, I was like, I have a Raspberry Pi. I have an audio interface. I have a radio. I should be able to make this happen. Well, so far I have things wired together, but these these are all things that I would but the software side and trying to figure out how to configure it correctly comes today. So that's what I'll be doing that and running irrigation.

I saw K7PDZ Jim light up the node list. Jim, are you trying to get on the list? Well, of course I'll try to get on the list. Good try, you made it. Stand by there, Jim. Let's go back to Magoo out there in Covington, KK7Z, P-J. Good morning, Jack. Things are good this morning. I got an Amazon delivery early for some memory for my laptop and I'm going from 16 gig to 32 because it was starting to run a little slow. I think I might even put a new hard drive in later today. Yesterday we had a lot of fun. I had a perplexing problem. We've got a fairly small living room but my wife bought this huge sectional a couple years back. It was a down filled couch, very comfortable, but it took up the entire living room space. So we decided to cut out about half of it and of course it was the half that was furthest away so we had to go through the other half in order to get it out of here. I decided to cut it up with a reciprocating saw and sawed that sucker up into 8 pieces and it was a piece of cake. So that was a happy accomplishment. We put everything in the trailer downstairs and then I'm going to bring it to the dump probably later today or tomorrow. That was pretty cool. Let me pause. And then it's finally happened. The saga of the 3D printing. We got our new printer on Friday after trying another new one and sending it back. It's operating flawlessly. We've got a lot of accessories for it already and we're 3D printing accessories for it so we're going to really be in good shape. It's going to take me about a couple hundred hours to get all the backlog of stuff that we want to print. Just simple stuff like a winder to wind the filament from one spool to another all 3D printed with gears and it's really cool. So anyway I'm flying high as the 3D printing hobby right now. Back to you Jack. It's Magoo Kilo Kilo 7 Zulu Papa Juliet. Wow you are having too much fun with that printer and I know you said at the end of the day you can load with I think some accessory parts or accessories probably. You can load up to 16 filament. Is that right? I think you said 16 filament. I get three more units right now. I just have one unit of four but this printer does support three additional spool holders so that you can merge them all together. But I've learned that doing 3D printing with multiple colors also burns through a lot of filament because at every filament change it has to purge out the old color to make sure it's not in there anymore. Usually you lose about an inch and a half or so of filament and you're doing that in every layer or sometimes three or four times during a layer and you can lose just as much filament as you do putting it on the actual build. So that's an interesting tidbit. Single color you don't lose much filament at all. Alright well I'd like to see that bamboo printer of yours in action. Maybe get you a short video and post that up on the Facebook discussion group page. And something that is you know I guess well I guess interesting to the group maybe a ham piece of some sort you might have found on GitHub or Thingiverse. Alright well anyway have a good week. Great to hear you're starting us off today on the Monday morning net. Thank you, McGoo. Let's go talk to KJ7WQI.

Yeah, you're sounding fantastic on RF, still in town. Okay, yeah, go ahead please. Alright, I was moving the antenna around the driveway here. Anyway, I took a bunch of photos yesterday and I failed to bring with me a SD card reader, so I will have to go through those on my flight back to Boston and then upload them at a later date when I can find my SD card reader somewhere in the house. I know it's over there, I just gotta hunt it down through all of the stuff over there. They will be coming eventually. I got some good shots of people hanging out. Rich standing over there with his fish net antenna. Dean showing up with the donuts. Got some good stuff. So, other than that, just a nice quiet morning here. Anna's still asleep actually. She's a sleeper in the morning. She likes sleeping. Other than that, just slowly getting ready, starting to pack my bags. Gonna be looking at flights either for tonight or tomorrow morning. So, that's all I got. Thanks for running the net, Jack. Lovely to see you and everyone else at the Rain or Shine yesterday. And I will throw it back to you, KJ7WQI. All right, man, have a good trip back and say good morning to Anna whenever she wakes up or maybe it'll be a good afternoon from me. That was so great to see the two of you. I can tell you were moving around pretty darn good for that camera and man, it looked like you got some great shots. Can not wait to see them. And of course, Dean with the parade oven presentation of the donuts. That is one shot I did not get. I really meant to get it on video. But anyway, all right, you take care of that and I hope you find that card reader. Yeah, that's not like finding your TV or something. Card readers, where is that stupid thing? Come on, come on. Good luck. All right, Matt, well, we'll see you. Yeah, John in there from Kamehameha Island. Sunny day up there. Let's go to Jim, K7PDZ. I'll bet the lake is like glass and you've already been out skiing. What do you think of that? Is that correct there, Jim? K7PDZ. Well, good morning, Jack. You are correct and incorrect. The lake is flat. No, that's the usual conundrum of no driver. The tail that I was skiing with, Sarah had to go back to work and she's to the point now, she's an administrator and their contract starts basically the first of August. So she's gotta be at her desk all week long. Wait till she gets back on Saturday, I guess. I don't know, I gotta start calling one of my friends because right now we got this stretch of really nice weather here. It was hot yesterday. Man, it's gonna be even hotter today over here. I know you guys have hot weather over there too. So we hit 89 yesterday here at the lake and it was in the 90s and it's supposed to be triple digits in a lot of places, like especially the Tri-Cities, so like Lee down there, WGN, might be having some really hot, hot weather down there. So it got so bad here yesterday, we had to come inside, we couldn't sit out anymore. Had to come into the air conditioning cabin. So yeah, we had to rough it over here. Okay, that's why we got Jack and his head to get on there and give you some action this morning so people can get up and get some coffee in them and start checking in. Anyway, back to you Jack. Oh yeah, I looked at all the pictures on Facebook and from the thing yesterday and it looks like you guys had a lot of fun there, a lot of people and almost as many as at the picnic. So anyway, that was cool and I enjoyed looking at the pictures. Seven T's everybody. This is Jim and Jane at their lake, A7 PTZ. All right, Jim, hey, by chance, did you happen to get a chance to see Madeline's posting of the two hour, nine o'clock net she did from Lake's Edge there? Oh yes, when I jumped into it, you were just, I said hi Jack, because you were in the picture. I know there's a little delay there, but not too much. So you might've been out of range by the time I said hi Jack. But yes, I definitely was watching that. K7, PTZ. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, I got back into the picture right away and waved at you there. Hey, real quick, one more question. Now Sarah, of course, she's back at work so no boat driver today. However, if you had a self-driving module for the boat, so you had autonomous driving of the boat there, do you think you would trust that while you're skiing behind it? They did have some of those, somebody made one of those, or not made, but they were manufacturing something like that that was a remote control module that your rope went, you held onto the rope, but you were controlling the speed and everything of this blobby thing out in front of you, this kind of like a small jet ski. But I don't think they ever made it because they just didn't have enough power. So maybe that's a thing of the past, but anyway, I could maybe find a Tesla and try to get some of the Tesla controls onto the boat. How does that sound? Then we could figure out how the boat knows where the shore is and everything. It doesn't crash into it. Oh, Jack, that opens up somebody horrible thoughts, K7PZ. Yeah, the first one that came to my mind is you hook it all up and then, yeah, we'll say, well, it's nice knowing you, Jim. Oh, geez, oh, that's a terrible thought. Anyway, maybe just skip that crazy idea, but I'm sure somebody else will choose to do it. All right, anyway, Jim, you have a great day. To edit Jane in that, go find your driver. Let's see who else is available for the 9 a.m. Net 914, I'm Jack KI7R, mute, transmitted from Seattle here. If you'd like to join us, all I need is your name and call. K30E, good morning. K7FWB. Men High Ridge K30E, who's next? KM7, AJM, skipper. Howdy, skipper, I've got you, who's next, please? KG7WB. Good morning, Bill, I've got you, anybody else? KG7WY, John. Oh, man, you really lit up the crowd yesterday. That was awesome, John, I'll tell everybody all about that when we get to you, stand by, please. More stations."},{"callsign_confidence":0.99,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-13T09:17:22+00:00","id":16682,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":16681,"text":" Well, okay Elaine, it's the general round of one. You have the floor. Thank you very much. This is N3OMO, aka Oink Oink, Moo Oink. It's a very hot day here. It'll be close to 98, 99, maybe more than that. We had a lot of thunderstorms last night, then the thunder stopped, but we had a lot of clouds of clouds, very, very sharp lightning until wee hours of morning. So that was up until one o'clock, my usual time. So I was able to see the lightning through the three small windows we have on our front door. And that was interesting to watch. Nothing new is going on. I'm going to start going through some more boxes and papers that I haven't touched yet in the past two years since RJ died. But I've got to get started on it. I'll promise myself I'll start on one box that's in here in the living room. And I'll just go through them one at a time and get to my desk and go through all those papers when I do time. And I've already been through those papers that have been in RJ's room, so that's good. His office, I should say. So all the animals that grew in the wild, they're inside where it's cool. And everything's going good. I hope everybody else is having a great day. And good luck on those wild fires. I know that's no fun. I'm going to get their share of them as well. Take care. Have a great day. Love you all. Have a good three o'clock Oscar. Well thank you there Elaine. Yeah, that's all that stuff you have to do when a spouse dies is all the paperwork and everything. Just going through stuff is always hard. I know I've been there. And so, yeah, you've got to, but it has to be done. So you're right. Now at this point you're aware you can go through and not have quite so many emotions attached to everything. So you can be a little more objective about the stuff you're looking at. Do we need to keep it? Burn it, file it, shred it, whatever. Yeah, so. Okay, thanks, Elaine. And take care and we'll talk to you later. Alright, this is Jim sitting in for Dave this morning. Dave, this morning I am K7PDZ and I'm looking for your call sign to hand you to my list of call signs and names please. K3OE, good morning. Juliet Golf. Okay, we got Rich K3OE and who is the Juliet Golf station? Zero, seven, delta, Juliet Golf. Name is Doug. Zero, seven, delta, Juliet Golf."},{"callsign_confidence":0.99,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-13T09:52:00+00:00","id":16694,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":16693,"text":" And this morning I'm up in Linwood, and it's at least at whatever nearby airport. My phone says it's 67 Fahrenheit here. And so just here getting ready to deliver some goodies for all the boys and girls, and pick up some of the goodies and run them back to Lacey. And just finished a four-day weekend for Mike's birthday extravaganza. And we had a really good weekend. It was a lot of fun. And the only thing is by the time we got to like Tuesday morning, I was like forgetting what day it was. So they kinda threw me. But anyway, we had a good weekend. I was planning to get All-Star working on a Raspberry Pi, and it really got kinda frustrating because there's so many different types of documentation used for different types of equipment used and whatever. And so I wasn't, I kinda got it half working, but I wasn't sure for sure if it was working or not. So I think we're gonna stick, at least for now with the Web Transceiver. And then when we have some time, probably sort it out if I can. But it was just something that's not really a necessity, but I thought, hey, I'll see if it's probably straightforward. And it wasn't. So, but it was kinda fun tinker with all the things. And yeah, let's see what else we do this weekend. Or this last four days. We went, I had a doctor appointment physical. Just I do one every year, hit the toe, and they check everything. And he says everything's fine, so that's good. So we're happy about that. And this is a fair amount of hiking in the woods and a fair amount of bike riding in the woods with the e-bike. Didn't see any deer this time, but we did see some rabbits. The deer are hiding in there somewhere. Anyway, that's about it. Jim, good to hear you running on the net. And everyone have a good morning. This is KBAPMY, thank you. That sounds like a good birthday weekend there, Mike. So yeah, thanks for stopping by. I don't have enough technical skills to play with any of Raspberry Pi stuff. So I just, I'm an appliance operator, I'll admit it. So, but anyway, my All-Star Note here is working well. If it stops working ever, you don't know what I'll do. Because I can't fix it, I don't know how. So I'm just talking very nicely to it and I'm keeping it happy. So that's how I work things out. Okay, great hearing from you and glad you had a good weekend there. So drive safely. All right, this is Jim, K7PDZ. Anybody else out there this morning? Call sign a name, please. K7WOI, John. K7WOI, John. John, you were on there earlier. Did I miss you or not call you? I am so sorry, what happened? I have no clue. I turned the radio down after a quick phone call and came back and was waiting my turn. I just never came around. I guess I fell into your cup of coffee or something. Good morning, Jim, and good morning to Jane. And it's gonna be a good day around here. I'm looking forward to a couple hours of sitting down and listening to some good stories and have a little bit of lunch. I took Del over to the ice cream event Sunday. He brought along for me a nice bag of beans. Boy, they are delicious. Nothing better than fresh stuff right out of the garden. And with that, I'm gonna get out of here. Wish everybody a good day. Thanks for doing your great job on the net. Always appreciated. Have a great rest of your day. K7WOI 73. Well, thank you, John. I just looked back through my list. I know you checked in. I know you checked in. But I never got your call site written down. I am so sorry. Oh, well. Yes, that's what we'll say. You fell into my coffee cup or your coffee cup or something like that. You fell into that black hole out there of a non-emiticky. A non-emiticky? Yeah. Anyway, all right, John. Yeah, I'm sorry I missed you guys at the Rain or Shine net. It would have been good to see you. I haven't seen you in person for a long time. And I don't think I've seen you in person. And I don't think I've seen Bill since Wilson. Probably at Mike and Gee and back in Lark. So yeah. OK. Well, hey, you had a good week. And thanks for stopping by. I think there was another station behind John. We're checking in. Was there another station out there that I missed? Coming up, please."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-18T21:28:36+00:00","id":19040,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":19039,"text":" All right, I will assume that Elaine is finished to report.
