Graham, a lot of people have those cables and just use this programming software called Chirp. It'll work. And on Amazon, the cables now are like $6, $7, $8. I might spend $8 instead of $6.

I'm thinking about the people at Shilshall that were next to me on the dock that were hoping to get off last night, or yesterday afternoon really, and had alternator trouble and can't think that this is a great morning for taking off because it's extremely dense fog here, in fact I can see the fog droplets drifting by. Droplets drifting and watering the plants, it's un-level I suppose, so they're probably happy but it is really dense. 56 degrees and 10-15 on the bar, when it warms up I'm sure it's going to be a lovely day. And as far as critters go, this is my last day of doggy duty, this dog is making me very active, and the critters outside here are going to be thrilled when he's gone because he loves to go rushing outside and terrorizing the squirrels and chipmunks, so I know they'll be celebrating in their own way. And that's it up here in Brockview N7SJS."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-07-31T12:34:35+00:00","id":12086,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":12085,"text":" work there.

I never heard that but trip real quick while they were still having the Q and I said oh I bet that's a first contact and Dan was about to wrap up and then I got in as a late comment check in and he said well okay sounds good to me.

So I don't know when it's ever gonna be done, but by the time they get it done, they'll probably have to do something with the southbound lane. Ha ha ha ha. Well Jack, thanks for doing that, and thanks for all the wonderful comments. I remember going to the Renaissance Fair when it was just a handful of people in the woods. Ha ha ha. Up around Ithaca I think somewhere. Yeah, it's come a long ways, and I would have liked to have taken that in if I knew about it. So that's it for me, and have a great Sunday everybody, and 7 GWG. All right Steve, you take care of that foot. Yeah, I'm glad you got to the Urgent Care facility right away, good job. All right, well if I could get you through that, of course, now you've got your medications. And say hi to Donna and the dozer of course. All right, let's go talk to Michael, he's got a comment, WA780. Well Jack, good morning to you, and everybody that's on the net. This is Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta, Michael from my home KTH. This is my regular check in, Jack, not a comment. So anyway, it's a great day, I don't know how the Blue Angels are gonna do it, they have to do the low thing I think, unless it burns off. And let's see, oh the big event for me, I gotta drive up to East Nomes County. We're gonna get together with our Bigfoot team, and I guess go over stuff, I don't know. I've got my list of things I pack, already made up, I do it every year. When I come home I revise it before I go through it again. Anyway, that's all that's going on here, thanks for on the great net. I don't know if you get two check ins, one mobile and one home KTH, maybe you get two marks on your little sheet there Jack. Anyway, everybody have a safety out there, Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. All right, well normally you would start your day here on the nets as a regular check in with a report, but today you started with a comment. So yes, this is the second entry I have for you there Michael. Hey, but real quick if you're gonna be out that way, Snomish for the Bigfoot 200 race planning session today, any chance you can go by Craven Farm and check that event out? Well, I'm more worried about getting lost in the hicks of East Nomes County trying to find David Ball's house than the Craven Farm, so it's a good almost 45 minute, 50 minute drive out to where I'm going, I'll have to get the map out. Do it. Donor Craven Farm is not too excited about the big trucks and stuff, so that's up, I do have a eight foot, bad F-150, that's all I'll be driving to Bigfoot, so. Hey Jack, that's it, thanks for asking, back to you sir, Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. Yeah, I was gonna mention that big truck that you have if you weren't going to, well you know, and hey, can't wait, Robert will be in the parking lot, so all you gotta do is just go to the parking lot and see if apparently I don't think they're charging any admission though, because it's a first time event. You know, I think you probably just get in for free. Anyway, all right, you take care, Michael, have a good time, and let us know how the Bigfoot session goes today. KI7Z, you're on the right track, KI7Z, yeah we're here with Dr. Tim in just a moment, it's 10, 12 a.m., I'm Jack, KI7RMU for the Sunday PSRG, nine o'clock, Ned, Tim, take it away, KI7ZEI. Well it's another beautiful day here in the great Northwest, yeah, starting out a little cloudy, maybe even a little cool, but it's kinda nice having a day like that once in a while and with the mix of the warmer days we've been having. So I think today will be kind of a carbon copy of yesterday's, so I'm supposed to come out. I'm getting ready for a trip this time tomorrow, I'll be half on my way to Alexandria, Virginia, gonna visit some friends there for a couple of days, got some work to do up in the Boston area, so I'm running a car, gonna take a trip for about a week, doing some driving, and back on the 14th. Got some things to do to get ready. I remember three, four years ago they had some kind of big get together down at, I thought it was like Seattle King County Emergency Communication Center. Jack, you might even remember this, or someone will, because there was a lot of hams there. Anyway, it was an emergency services kind of introduction and meeting, and looked like a pretty well-secured facility down there, chain link fencing all around the building down there, it was kind of in Seattle area, dried down, kind of new downtown. Can't find it in the Google though now. But they were taking some questions, and I asked if they were prepared for the zombie apocalypse, and the presenter said no. I don't think I'm prepared either, but that's one of my goals, getting prepared for it. Any kind of apocalypse, zombie or otherwise. Well, with that, wish everyone a good day, and back to you Jack, KI7ZI. All right, Temple, it looks like you will be out of town for the next Rain or Shine, and I'm gonna cover the announcements real quick, right after I stop talking here, and switch over to that. But I do wanna comment, but you will be back in time for the PSARA Antique Radio and Vintage Electronics Swap meet, and I think you went to that last year, maybe the previous year up at Shoreline Community College. Is that one of the shows you went to? I don't think I did go to that. Now that I live in Shoreline, I'm gonna start participating in more Shoreline events, finding out it's a pretty nice place here. But I will go this year, because I'm interested in that kind of stuff. Had an antique radio once, and someone gave me, but it was basically disintegrating the, tuning capacitor, the, it was, had corrosion, and the plates were falling off, and yeah, you know. So, it's been a long time since I had a working radio. Back when I was in high school, my dad took me down to St. Vincent de Paul in Seattle, and we bought this big, shortwave radio, all-band everything, everything, with big, kinda loopy antenna thing, and a little matchy guy for tuning. That was pretty cool. That was kind of my real introduction to heavy duty radio. KI-7 ZEI. Yeah, those worldwide receivers were pretty massive units, too. Well, I've got, talk about massive units, I've got a number of Collins pieces that I'm gonna be taking to that show, I hope, and I've got a great Kenwood Transceiver from back in the day, and that thing is like a tank, too. So, I've got a couple of pieces I'll be taking up there and seeing what we can do with them. All right, we'll have a safe trip to Alexandria. We'll talk to you along the way. I know you'll probably check in many times, and we hope you do there, too, and safe travels to you. All right, so real quickly, here are a couple of events. 10, 16 a.m. Next weekend, we are busy, busy, busy on the night. That's Saturday, the Radio Club at Tacoma does their open house, 10 a.m. to two, and then, of course, later that night, we have got the PS, or not the PSRG, but the Simplex net, there we go, 8 p.m., 146560 every Saturday, but in the middle of the day, 1.30 p.m. On Zoom, we have the next PSRG board meeting, 1.30 p.m. That's August 9th, Saturday, so come on by and join the fun there. Now, on Sunday, though, August 10, PSRG season seven, episode five, Rain or Shine net, it's a new net and ice cream social at Green Lake, so get on the website, psrg.org for all the details there. Come out and have an ice cream with us. That'd be a lot of fun. All right, and of course, the 17th, August 17th, Sunday, again, is the antique radio and vintage electronics swap meet the PSRA at Shoreline. Again, all the information can be found on the PSRG discussion group page and home page. All right, any questions there? Command, call and find a name. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November. All right, we're still going. Let's see what's out there for the nine o'clock net. If you'd like to join us, RF internet command, call and find a name. West key seven, Oscar Hotel, Dan. All right, Dan, anybody else? KB seven RYY, Dan. Dan, you're on the list. Anyone else, please? K308. Morning Rich, I've got you, anybody else? Kilo Zulu Bravo X-ray Joel. Hi, Joel, I've got you. All right, anybody else? All right, Dan, how are you doing this morning? W70H, go ahead. Doing good, stand by one second. You caught me literally at the drive-through and they were handing me my soda. I had to grab it and put it in the container. I think there's a natural timing when I go for food. I could call the radio in. Anyway, I'm going down to the museum today. Today's the final day of the Seafair Air Show. I don't know if it'll be high. I think it'll clear though it may work. I took a bunch of pictures on Thursday of the Blue Angels and some others flying on the preliminary and it's not a lot over the museum. They moved the center of the air show a little south and east. I was on Newcastle and such, probably don't like it, but it's still great to see there. I'll go down and just stay inside, do my dosage duties. That's the plan for the day. Anyway, I think that's about it for the day. I'm gonna say have a good day. Sorry, I had to wait and try to listen to her and talk to you. Anyway, 73, and I look forward to the ice cream social especially, it's not the ice cream, it's the social. 73W708. All right, Dan, hey, you have a great day, last day of the Seafair. And yeah, get some more pictures if you can. We love putting up the pictures. All right, we'll see you at the Rainer Shine Net. That'll be a lot of fun. KB7RYY, Dan, good morning. Good morning, Jack, this is Dan, KB7RYY. I'm almost recovered from that trek up Mount Pilchuck the day before last. Oh, rocks, I don't like rocks. Anyway, I'm coming back from a hike of half of Boston Creek anyway, and I heard a few things I had talked about. First of all, the shortwave, there was some discussion about a shortwave, I forget what it was, but the shortwave bands are kind of opening up. There's people broadcasting, and funny thing, no Voice of America, no Jammers, what's this mean? Let me let it drop. The other thing was I was gonna talk about, I hosted a few boaters nets this week. Those faithless boaters, you know? Instead of doing that, they gotta go out in their boats. All right, back to you, Jack. KB7RYY. All right, Dan, and some of the boaters go out for a couple of weeks at a time, so I heard a couple of stations are definitely out. So was it kind of a lean pickings, I guess, huh? Yeah, Vic and I were alternating during the week, and then Vic took off. He's up at Port Ludlow, and now I think he can come in on Echo Link, but it's a little. It's the schedule filling up for the next week, so I get a little break. KB7RYY. All right, well, it was nice to hear Carlos this morning. That's good. All right, Dan, well, you have a great Sunday, Santa. You in, please? Let's get over to Rich, West Seattle, K30E. And yeah, the Ice Cream Social, of course, but the other event, oh, Jack. I went there one time so far, and I just may have to go again, you know? And yeah, the one time I did go, I think it was a couple of our fans. I think JD was there, and JD was there. So anyway, I don't know, maybe this time, I guess any game, I'll probably check in the beautiful morning, nice and cool. We're going to get more Roger shortly, that season, I think, really. All right, thank you very much, Rich. You have a great day. Santa had a polo for me, if you would. Let's go see what Joel's up to. Joel, take it away. Hi, Jack. Yeah, nice morning, nice cool morning in Kirkland. We'll take a run later on before this marine layer burns off, because I like it when it's cool. I'm just trying out the HTs, which I heard from good reports. Enjoyed that. One thing is, I can't remember who the operator was, but someone in Lake Washington yesterday mentioned you can listen to the Blue Angels. They have some certain frequencies that load AM as aircraft. But if you do a search for Blue Angels, see their frequencies, you'll find it on radioreference.com. And sure enough, I heard they listen to Airbus and Sol 1, and can make out what they're saying, never can make out what Alice is saying. But it has a new dimension to enjoying the Blue Angels, if you can hear them. That's it, KK7ZBX. All right, Joel. Hey, have a great Sunday. Enjoy sea fair last day. And yeah, just keep tuning in. The more you listen, the more you'll probably be able to make out when they're making transmissions at a couple of miles an hour. It's going to be fun. All right, nice to hear you, Joel. All right, we'll do the last call now at 10, 20, I want to say 12, 24, jeez. 10, 24 AM, I'm Jack KI7, I'll read the last call. Anybody else for the 9 o'clock net? T-Mobile Juliet 7, Romeo Alpha Bravo, Yay for the recheck. Check. All right, 35 minutes from Gates opening up out there at Snohomish Field of Wheels. Take it away, Kami, KJ7RAB. Thank you so much, Jack, Kami, KJ7RAB. We just arrived at the Field of Wheels. Wow, this is pretty impressive. We just won a lot from the parking lot. The guys come back, we open at 11, and Walter explains that we're doing working out at the net, and can we come and just get our parking spot. He let us in, so we're parked where we're going to. So I wanted to ensure that you can hear us clearly, and all is well. We're hearing you crystal clear here. So hoping the same is true on your end. And I'll do a live video running around so you all can see what's happening as soon as they open the gate and let us in. But we're parked here, and we're looking right at the Allied Motor Sports Jeep. So it looks to be awesome already. Thanks for letting me back, and let me know how the signal is. KJ7RAB, back to you. All right, no problem there. Thanks, Cameron. Well, I'm glad you got in. I figured you'd probably talk some sense into it. Hey, real quick, any women-owned Toyota is going to be at this event. Do you know anybody talking about it on the back line? This is repeated. I'm not sure. I haven't seen any chatter about it, and that's bad on me. I should have put some chatter about it out there. It's been a crazy couple of weeks, and I've been a little bit frazzled with work and everything going on in life in general. But one of my goals going forward is definitely to be a little bit more organized. But I'm always on the lookout for those LRT stripes and on the lookout for Toyotas in general. Oh, one of the things, a little bit off topic, but not really, that Robert says he's got going on there. FJ, people don't always wave at each other, and I'm always the one waving like crazy, and people don't always wave back. Well, we were driving down Highway 9 yesterday, and we passed an FJ going the other way. That guy rolled his window down, was waving frantically out the window, and even beeped at me, and I was like, whoa. Because my rig's all built up now, and his looked really stuck. And that kind of made my week, because I'm usually the one waving out the window frantically, and it was the other way around. So I thought that was pretty cool, and I wanted to share that with you. KJ7RAB, back to net. Well, you're a blue FJ. You have definitely earned some bragging rights there. It is really looking good, looking great down at the Communications Museum. We had such a good time looking at that when you rolled in with the new light bar and all that. Oh, fantastic. All right, you have a good time down there. Cammie Robert hosting today at noon, so 90 minutes away or so, from the Field of Wheels into the home. It's that new event out there. Runs 11 AM to 4 this afternoon. All right, thank you, Cammie. All right, anybody else? One last call for the 9 o'clock net."},{"callsign_confidence":1.0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T10:10:51+00:00","id":15272,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":15271,"text":" Okay, let's take a break right there, that sounds good. Let me back up, pick up Daryl's recheck real quick. Victor Oscar One, uniform Keeloo Zulu, take it away. Thanks Dave, this will be my last one. I usually don't have much comment on these nets, but today, I don't know, just I heard the other station talk about modifying that little car thing that was intended for CD players, one of those little FM transmitters. And I played around with that a little bit years ago as well but couldn't figure out how to amplify it back then. And when I put a tiny little two watt VHF amplifier on it, it splattered, it went way up and down the band so you couldn't use that obviously. But I did use a little two watt amplifier back in the late 90s. Myself and a friend of mine who was also into electronics modified an old cordless phone. Remember those old ones worked on 49 megahertz grand clock? Had a big telescopic antenna. We had a little two watt amplifier and we modified the base station for one of those and put an external antenna on it. And I was up and outside my house, and I live on a hill, it's about 650 feet above the city. So down at the base of that hill, there was a park, like a park playground, swimming pool, that type of thing, where we all used to hang out. And nobody really had cell phones, especially the younger guys back in the 90s. We had beepers. And this phone could get about a five mile range after the modifications. So the base unit was at my house and I could take the cordless unit of it and it was a little Frankenstein, it had like the little amplifier on the back of it and a couple of double A's power in that. But it was only a small little two watt amplifier on the base unit and the handheld. And I could get phone calls from my landline down at the park about five miles away because it was a clear line of sight from the top of the hill where I live to the park at the bottom. And it was mind blowing to my friends back in the day that we could have a phone that was sitting on the picnic table, we could make calls with, it didn't have any minutes or anything like that to worry about. And I could also get incoming calls on the thing. And like I say, my friends back in the day were mind blown over that. But that was my last comment, talking about tinkering and modifications of existing products. But I don't think you can do that today with the 2.4 gig phones and digitally encrypted and spread spectrum and all this kind of stuff. But back in the day, 49 megahertz analog, lots of fun to be had. 73 days from here on UKZ. Oh, Daryl, I love it. That's great. I do remember those days, the little pull out antennas and all that stuff. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, some of the old phones, yeah, you could definitely do that with. So there you go. Well, thanks, Daryl, for the comment. Much appreciated. And we will catch you later. And I will say once again, have a great rest of your Friday out there and on the rock. So we'll catch you later. All right, let's see what the end is up to, KB7RYY and what you got going on. Come ahead. Hello, it's Dan, KB7RYY, climbing the hill behind my house is all I am want to do. I'm at about a thousand feet now, I think. Anyway, there's Lake Washington, there's Bellevue. Hey, I'm gonna change the topic. I had something else talked about, but cordless phones. Anybody remember the ones that are down at 160 meters, like 1.7 megahertz? They operated on power lines. I, we used to live down in pure West Iberian. My folks lived on the water. I moved up the hill about a mile and a half away along I guess the same AC feature line. I could hear them a mile and a half away. Think about all the other people I could hear as well. Let me let it break. Okay, anyway, simplexed out, I've heard of that thing. You know, somebody changed the frequency from 14655 to 14656. And you know, I'm supposed to read the preamble tomorrow night, I just might go over to that frequency and see what Jeff says. JP7RYY. Hey Dan, thank you for that. Yeah, I do remember those, holy cow. Yeah, that takes me back a while, doesn't it? Yeah, all right. Yeah, give it a shot and see what happens. What the heck? Why not? Thanks for coming by and saying hi. And for those of you who don't know, Dan is also a net controller for the Puget Sound Boaters Net occasionally. And don't forget that meets at 7.47 every morning. And it's a formal roll call, but visitors are welcome at the end of the net. And it's always fun to get local weather forecasts and critter reports and fun stuff from the Puget Sound Boaters Net. So don't forget that's out there. Won't you know Dan would check in on the day that I forget to put that in my announcement. So there you go. Dan, have a wonderful day. Happy Friday and we will catch you later. Whiskey six, Foxtrot Delta uniform. What you got going on? Come ahead."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-07-27T13:13:09+00:00","id":11299,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":11298,"text":" Other than Jack, KI-7, I am new. And I was bummed that Jack missed my check-in on the 9pm net last night because he's joking. We were talking about that and you know, folks going through the names of all the people that they were able to connect with. You know, you inevitably forget someone or a number of people and Jack said jokingly that I was to mention his name at least three times on the net. And I, of course, was the overtaver and I mentioned his name like probably ten times on the net last night. And I think he missed it. So, I got to make sure and mention his name multiple times on the net today in the event that he is listening. So, Jack, if you're listening, KI-7, are in use. I'm just going to mention your name a whole bunch just for fun. So, there you go. You take care, Dean. Have a great rest of your weekend and hopefully we'll see you again at the Rainershine that's coming up. I don't have that page open and now that I mentioned it, I'll just give a plug for it. Season 7, episode 5, Rainershine. New net and ice cream social on August 10th at Green Lake, the east side of Green Lake, north of the Paddle Boat Rentals and the Green Lake Cafe Confession Stand.

I reported I'm part of this yesterday. And I was going to just go to Redmond, but James mentioned yesterday. Mercer Island is having a thing at Luther Burbank. I'm glad I went there first. They were tearing down before 2 o'clock. And then we went to Redmond. And then we came back to Bellevue.

My name is Dan and this is the new net on the W7PSR 2-meter repeater operated by the Puget Sound repeater group here in Seattle, Washington.

If you'd like to give a report or an I.O., all we need is your name and call sign. Take check-ins in groups of five or six and then come back for your individual reports. And just a reminder, there's a time out of the repeater of three minutes, so that's a good amount of time to allow for your check-ins. And I'll try to wait for Internet stations and save a couple rounds for those stations. Alright, let's see what happens here.

Hopefully, things will be repairable and it won't be too expensive for you. And the bus. I had a bus route that ran right down to the bottom of the hill about a few yards away from me. They canceled it. And the nearest bus to me now is 8 tenths of a mile down the hill. I know I can call these access buses and things. I'm old enough. I can probably do it. But I have to trot down the hill to get a bus now. That makes me a little bit upset. All right, well, I'm getting over my upset condition. We had IOs from Larry, KD5T, BD, and Bernie, KJ5M and Z.
