I'm doing pretty well. I feel pretty accomplished. I had the goal today of clearing out some quantity of square footage of space here on the floor in the basement. Some quantity being greater than one or greater than zero, really, that would have been an accomplishment. I think I have a good 10 by 10 square foot area, maybe a little smaller. I think that's very successful. It's always good to see floor instead of clutter. It's psychologically really good. I felt good about that. In true ADHD fashion, not only did I clean stuff down here in the basement right adjacent to the shack, but when I was moving stuff to and fro or I was just walking by to throw something away or something, I was like, oh, I got to do that. I had the ancillary benefit of clearing out some stuff in other parts of the house or organizing stuff in other parts of the house. That makes me feel good. Good work was done today. I didn't feel too mentally or physically taxed. I'm going to count that as a success. This evening I was kind of just playing around, moving some stuff around on this radio, some memories, further organizing, further picking little nits here and there and just organizing the radio further. Anyway, other than that, I had a good day. That was pretty much the extent of my day. I've been enjoying listening to the net while just finishing up organizing. I hope everybody has a great day tomorrow. KB9IQX. KB9IQX, K7WFP. Well, thank you, A. You did. That's a major accomplished day, I would think. Did you say 10 by 10 feet? I mean, 10 by 10 inches is certainly an accomplishment. 10 by 10 feet is maybe an Olympic record. I don't know. I couldn't possibly clear up that much space. I mean, unless clearing the space meant all you had to do was sweep it, I could do that. Congratulations. And I like your ADHD fashion approach. There are all these books you see and podcasts. I mean, the How to Organize Your Life. I can't even remember the names, but you could have your own podcast or website and you could become an influencer with the ADHD Guide to Organizing Your Life. There's a future for you, Amy. You have a future without that. Thank you so much. Let's move on to recheck from Bob, KK7PT.

Anyway, I was just going to be pedantic and say yeah, that previous check-in about the ISS lower pass yeah, if you if you're using a, and I know this through experience, I kind of wondered I was like, well this was a beautiful high pass, why was my signal so, why was my receive so bad? And then I realized, oh yeah dummy, I was using a vertical antenna and on high passes they're great for, yeah, for showing unknown passersby the beauty and wonder of the ISS streaking across the sky, but if you're trying to get a signal that high pass is going right above the null of your vertical antenna, so that's why the low passes often have so much better results I've actually gone to the, I've actually had an antenna and I've held it like a sword and just kind of held it perpendicular, wielded it like a sword out there in the middle of the street to get a better signal, so yeah, that is the answer for why sometimes those lower passes are much better than the super awesome looking high passes pedantically, KB9IQX, back to net well sometimes pedantic people give you really useful information, Amy, thank you so much it's so obvious that the null of your vertical antenna is overhead, had never occurred to me, I was kicked off about a pass a few days ago very high pass, where I got very poor copy on the SS-TV from my very good vertical, Anfang J.

Nice evening here, it's 10.30 and nice sunset, it looks like we've got an official sunset at 11.07 but it'll be light until morning when the sun returns still. Hopefully I'll be sleeping. Just doing a little clean up in the suite here, we've got guests coming next weekend and doing a group camping trip to about 200 kilometers west of White Horse at Kathleen Lake. And the Klawani Mountain Range, that should be a good time, hoping for good weather but we'll take what we get. And yeah, I worked all day today, flinging some wires, I don't get out of the office so often so that was fun, worked with a colleague of mine and some other people on vacation, just not available. We did a little bit of electrical rodeo, things worked out well and now I'm sleeping with my wife and I, just doing a little clean up. Good to hear the net, good to hear everyone out there, good to hear you Bill, thanks for doing it, how was building today? Back to you from Yankee 1, Mike Gulp, Sierra, 73 to all. Hey Michael, just a quick question, so it sounds like your work is involved with electrical power, is that what you're doing and that you're helping people stream some electrical power lines, is that right? This is repeater station kilo, kilo 7, November, Quebec November, all star notes, 6-2, thanks for asking Bill, 3-1-1 MPS, of course. Not today actually, we're just flinging communication wires, just one power line, actually we're doing a power line, power cable to be more specific, inside of a building, large reception counter, government office, getting a counter upgrade, nice to do that on a weekend, that's just us from the carpenters. Thank you Bill, 3-1-1 MPS. NY1, NGS K7, WFZ, Michael, thank you for clarifying what you're up to up there, sounds like you're having a nice summer up there with your very late sunsets, where we get to Kogali down here at our, oh I guess we get up to what, well after 9pm sunsets, and we've just dropped back below 9pm sunsets, so as soon as that happens I feel like it's going to be pretty cool. Just as soon as, you know things change so quickly at this time of year and then race through the autumnal equinox. Let's see, you're listening to the 9pm PSRG social net, my name is Bill, K7 WFZ, we're still cooking along if you want to join us, anybody out there, come ahead, leave your call, sign and name.

Will Coe, W7 LCO. Good evening, take it away. Yes, thank you for riding the net. This is Will Coe, W7 LCO. I'm on the road right now, back from another day dip in West Seattle, and that went great. Had some CalD-B skewers and Caesar salad, it was quite lovely. Not much else I can mention on the radio, but anyway, it was a great night. Had some June shine heart kombucha, that's very interesting. I think it was maybe from QFC or something like that. Anyway, that was pretty tasty. Just headed back to the boat, it's a nice temperature outside. Enjoyed the rain this morning, maybe we'll get a little bit more tomorrow I think. Not too much else is up, hopefully get some plumbing done. And eventually fix the leak in my boat. So I'll send it back to you, thanks again. 73 is everyone out there. Whiskey 7, Lima, Charlie, Oscar. Alright, good stuff there Will Coe. Sounds like you had a good time tonight out there in West Seattle. CalD-B skewers, sounds amazing. Yeah, the rain is coming, I know when I left for work this morning I walked outside and I smelled the rain and that was kind of like, ooh it's been a minute since I smelled the rain. I didn't mind it too much today. But yeah, I do like the warmer, drier weather. But sometimes we need to have rain. Anyway, good luck getting the plumbing fixed and the leak. Yep, got to get through those things eventually. Mobile safe out there, Will. Thanks for the call. Next up we've got a recheck from Amy, KB9IQX. Well thanks for taking my recheck, Brooks. And thanks to Jim for introducing us to Collywobble. That's a delightful word, very good word. I thought to myself, oh that sounds very British. And I looked it up and I was like, oh yes, it's from British. I thought to myself, oh that sounds very British. And I looked it up and I was like, oh yes, it's from British. I shall have to incorporate it into my vocabulary forthwith. Anyway, in exchange, I would like to offer the simple word yarrow. Some of us may know it as a plant. Or you know, a geographical location, yarrow point. However, I have periodically used it to indicate direction. And you use it when you want to indicate the direction of something where you're not really sure what that direction is. So you could say something like, oh yes, Smith Avenue, yes, Smith Avenue, Rongaro, burst that out for a couple of blocks before turning off. And then you just leave it at that. No further explanation is necessary. Arguably, it's more confusing than helpful. But it is funny. Maybe I'm IQX. More confusing than helpful. Yarrow, okay, I'll try to remember that one. Thanks for coming back. Glad you heard the collywobbles comment from earlier. Good stuff, Amy. Thanks for stopping by with the recheck. Alright, any more check-ins for the 9 o'clock net? Call Saturday. 4-1 November Yankee Sierra, 4-2-1, NYS, only recheck. Alright, Steven, why don't you go ahead with your recheck. 4-2-1, NYS. I'm going to Brooks Cade in PDC. I'd like to ask a question. Since your all-star load is only 4 digits, do we have to put in two extra zeros in front of it before 2-4-6-2 for those who want to come on? You know, I am not sure. I don't think so, but I'm not positive. Hold on, let's see, I'm getting... You know what, I'm not sure. Maybe if there's someone else out there that knows they can come in with the recheck. No, I think you can just do the 2-4-6-2. Okay, good night to Brooks. I will also wait for other replies. See, mostly all-star nodes are the earlier ones are 4 digits and the current ones already have 6 digits. That's why I'm curious if we have to add two additional zeros in front of 2-4-6-2 so that it would qualify. Thank you very much, Brooks. You can take a reply. I'll send it to you. Alright, thank you there, Steven. Yeah, if anyone else out there knows, maybe they can come in with a check-in and let us know. Alright, thanks for stopping by with the recheck. Any more check-ins for the 9 o'clock net? I'll sign a name. Alpha Bravo 6, Mike Bravo, recheck. Jeff, AB6MB, I have a feeling you might know the answer to Steven's question. Yeah, there's no additional digits needed. 2-4-6-2 works fine, but as more people use it, they have expanded node numbers. But, no, I just need to do 2-4-6-2 and that's it, thankfully. Back to that AB6MB. Alright, thank you so much for that clarification, Jeff. Yeah, that was what I was thinking, but my all-star node is currently packed up and not on, so I wasn't able to pull it up on my phone and look on the spot. So, thank you for that. Steven, 4D1-NYS, did you hear that response? Thanks, Brooks, and thank you, Nick Callum, for the reply. Do you need note on that? And just in case some friends of mine would come up to the all-star, I'll say to them that 4 digits is fine. Thank you, Brooks. Over to you. This is repeater station.

That makes a healthy list. So let's go back to the top and chat with Amy KB9IQX33. Amy, how was your day? Well, 33 to you Megan. 73 to Brooks. Thank you for doing the net. 70 howdy! And 73 to everybody on the net. I'm doing pretty I'm doing pretty well even if you're a stickler for a very precise grammar. I'm here curbside. Which I realize this summer is something I have not done as much as previous summers. I have not just, you know, been curbside outside here in my shop, my garage, my driveway. Just ending the day and enjoying the net. And it feels nice. It's a nice summery thing to do. So I'm doing well. Let's see, I had a pretty fun day at work. I was not out in the field. I was actually doing data monkey work all the time. Which then I was like, ah! That's one reason I really love my job. Because some days I get to, you know, you know, put on the grubby work clothes, put on the high-vis vest, have my clipboard and hard hat. And you know, I get to drive around the city and I get to drill holes in the street and pound nails in. Which is cool. And nowadays I get to kick back in the air conditioning, wear masks with people, professionals, have meetings with people, do some desk work. The variety that I enjoy. I love you all. And then I was talking to KJ7NUW just before the net on a different repeater. And it was fun because she was at home and I was kind of roving around within a few block radius of the neighborhood. I checked out this part in the high-tension power line. And I was like, oh, I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. And I checked out this part in the high-tension power line right away where it looks like some neighbors are getting together and building a little park area. And it was really cool. And then I walked over and I saw, like, I was peering into some of the houses that were for sale in the neighborhood. So I kind of felt like, you know, she was at ops, you know, monitoring field agents. And I was out in the field and, you know, maintaining radio communication, maintaining comms. I think this qualifies as comms with a Z. And, you know, reflecting back, making sure that I completed the mission. So I felt very engaging and like now that I'm listening to the net. I hope everybody had a great day. I hope everybody has a wonderful tomorrow. KB9 IQX. Well, Amy, that is super fun. Curbside at your home QTH. Yeah, that's always fun in the summertime. We always forget how fast summer goes and then we don't get around to all the things we had planned to do this summer, which is always such a bummer. But I guess there's always next summer? I don't know. It's almost like you have to plan it out before it even gets here and then it's here and gone and you're like, wait, but I didn't get to everything. I know what you mean there, Amy. It's hard to get to it all. But glad you got to hang out in the air conditioning today. Well, I guess you didn't really need the air conditioning, but it was nice to be out of the rain, I bet. So that's kind of fun. You get to be in the office and out in the field. That makes it kind of exciting and a little more interesting. It's never the same old, same old, which is always my favorite thing. That's so boring. Glad to hear you got to talk to Madeline, KJ7 and UW before the net. Hope she's doing well. Hopefully we'll get to see you at the ice cream social this weekend at Green Lake on Sunday. You take care, Amy. Have a great rest of your work week and hopefully we'll see you soon. All right, it is 907 p.m. I'm K9MLR Megan. Now we're going to go talk to Ann, K89, EHB33. To you, Ann. Good evening. To the rest of the team. Hey, what's going on? It's an interesting night. My husband had a more interesting time than I did. I'm having a harder time dealing with picnics these days. This one with its spotty seating and rather irregular seats. The layout was more exhausting than I really wanted to deal with. We walked back home and then my husband went back. I guess they're developing little emergency clusters around here and looking for ham radio operators. That's interesting. I don't know anything more about it than that. That was interesting last night. Today I worked on some stories and I'm getting ready to practice some harp and listen to a radio show that I sometimes like. Tomorrow I'll work on some more stuff and do more harp. On Friday I'll be back up at the gallery. That's about all that's happening in my life. I'm less than a week away from Worldcon now so I'm making a list of all the stuff I have to do to get ready for the next one. Including assembling a little actual military costume. I've got to work on that tomorrow. Anyway, that's about all the news at IS News. 73, 33, 88, oh the numbers. Thanks, Megan and Brooks for doing the net. Thank you all for listening. I love you all.

Well, hi there Rebecca, and hi to the net. It's Madeline, KJ7NUW. I've just been listening to the net on and off as I'm like kind of puttering around this morning. My current little micro project is that I'm up on the neighbor's roof and I'm like messing around with a, I'm upgrading a mesh casting node. The story there is that where my neighbor lives, he's kind of like up, like he's got more elevation than where my place is. And he's kind of like a little bit on a ridge that like has good, like a good radio horizon. And so I convinced him to put a mesh tastic node up on his roof. So anyway, I'm up here, you know, just like servicing the node a little bit and getting, you know, just like tweaking some configuration and stuff. It was a good little thing to get me out of the house. Anyway, enjoying the net. Thanks for hosting and a radio wave to my friends out there. And that's about it. I think I'll send it back to net control. So K-T-A-7 and UW. Sweet, have fun up there on the roof, Madeline. And yeah, that's fun. Mesh tastic node. I feel like I haven't heard from, I haven't heard from mesh tastic for a while. I feel like people were kind of doing another mesh situation. And yeah, it's good to hear that mesh tastic is still going strong. I love it. And yeah, hopefully see you later on the, at the board meeting if you're off the roof or if you're on the roof. I guess you can attend the board meeting while you're still on the roof, but we shall see. Well 33 and 88, Madeline, have a wonderful day. And it's good, always good to hear from you. Enjoy listening to the net. Next on the list is Amy. KB9 IQX, 33, Amy, please come ahead with your report. Well good afternoon, Rebecca, 33 to you. And I feel like, you know, like there should be little maracas whenever you say my call sign that way. Like you should be shaking maracas in the background. Anyway, I'm doing well. Oh, I'm taking a little breather because, so as I mentioned on the net earlier, our refrigerator decided to stop working and I unplugged it and I'm gonna, you know, look at it, give it a stern look, maybe just like, I've often found that sometimes if you like gently blow on across a porch or a thing that's broken, you know, sometimes that fixes it. So I might do that, poke around, see if I can see anything that's obviously bad. And then plug it in and see what happens. In the meantime, you know, we just kind of took out all the food that's clearly not salvageable, separated it out from the stuff that needs to go out back to the compost. So, I was doing that earlier while listening to the net. Ooh, ripe things smell ripe, you know. Not, you know, I'm not even like a super smeller. My sinuses are actually not that good. I've had like, you know, chronic and periodic sinus issues my whole life, so my sense of smell isn't really that bad. But all ripe food is ripe, that's all I gotta say. And it's really, it always makes me like, think for a second, like I ponder, like deeply and philosophically. I was like, wow, this strong smelling food, you know, like I mean, yes, scientifically there is something given off in food that's gone bad. But sometimes it doesn't even take that much for me. Like sometimes just knowing that something is like, past its prime and I should toss it out, you know, I smell it and it tastes like normal, or it smells like normal food, but at the same time, like something about the fact that I'm taking it out to compost sometimes just makes me like, oh, that's a lot. Even though it might smell just like perfectly fresh food. So anyway, I always think about that every single time when I'm throwing stuff out, food out, or you know, food scraps out to be composted. Like, oh, he's apple, you know, like, these apple cores or whatever. Well, no, because the way I eat apples, I don't leave a core. But for the sake of argument, let's say, oh, these apple cores smell like apples, but I know they're going out to compost. I'm like, oh my God, that smells terrible. The human mind is a weird and funny thing. KB99QX. The human mind is a weird and funny thing. Yeah, I get that. You know, I have been vegan for so long that I just don't really think twice about, like, whether I like leave food out or save my leftovers in the car, you know, whatever the situation is, because I really don't think about that it's going to make me sick. And I live in a house with people that consume animal products, so I've started having to think about that more because I will leave something out that Leo ate, and I'm automatically like, it's garbage, it's trash, because it's not vegan, I just think it's garbage. All this garbage. So, yeah, same thing. It's not even like the smell. I'm just like, I can't. So if it's like a day old, I want nothing to do with it. I will not let them touch. But, yeah, I get it. Yeah, it's like the smell. Maybe either you or Kate just kind of stand by the refrigerator, and the other one of you just take like a rubber mallet or something and just give the refrigerator just a swift, just like whack, just like whack, and maybe that will just whack it back into shape. Bam. There you go. Refrigerator works. I've heard that works too. So your blowing method or my rubber mallet method, I feel like between those, you know, it's already broken, so why not try? Why not try? But, Amy, enjoy your body odor, enjoy your lovely day, and have fun doing whatever you do to that refrigerator. Turn it into something now that it's just a vessel that you can just store stuff in. Turn it into something. 3388. And all in numbers, Amy. Enjoy your day and, yeah, have fun. All right. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. Next on the list is N5XCX. KK7IJZ, please come ahead with your report. Great. Thank you very much for taking me. My name is Woody, and I'm in the very Florida.

Have a wonderful day in Florida, and I hope to hear from you again. Next on our list is KF5UCO. Please come ahead with your report. This is KF5UCO. Name is Rick Romeo India Charley, and it's a little marquee thing, Sarah Zero-Necolik, way down Texas way. Well, I am actually on the very tip of Texas, almost in Louisiana, but I'm still in Texas, okay? It is very odd down here today, high humidity, and heat of activity, not getting better for the last four days. And I am really wishing for October to January, because I like to be outside with my dogs, as you can see on my QR head page, I know that's a shameless plug, but they're up there with the ones that are now silent keys that are part of our family and fill in our hearts. And that's really about all I've got, other than I wanted to ask, I just left my iPad on, and so I'm not sure what net and when this net is. I know it's on the Alaska server, but I don't know what net I'm on right now. So if you could give me a time when you guys are on, and I've got a location, a date and time, I would really appreciate it. KF5UCO, back to net control. Well Rick, thank you so much for joining us. I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so yes, I am very familiar with all of the Texas towns that border Louisiana. I have driven through Texas many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times. So yes, welcome. This is the WW7PSR repeater located in Seattle, Washington. So we're in the Pacific Northwest. And our all-star node is 2462, so you can connect to us directly. You don't have to connect to us via the Alaska node. So 2462, put us in your favorite. And we do three nets a day, all Pacific time, 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. every single day, every single year. And all the nets are different, all the hosts are different. And it's a really, really active repeater system. So even if a net isn't going on and you feel like having a two cell or chatting with someone, just throw your call sign out and there's a 100% chance that some wonderful person will answer back to you and you'll have just an awesome, friendly two cell. So yeah, we are the WW7PSR two meter repeater located in Seattle, Washington. We are the Puget Sound repeater group. That is psrg.org, psrg.org if you want to look us up. Three nets a day, 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. So welcome, Rick. I hope to hear from you again. 7-3 and yeah, enjoy, enjoy, yes, enjoy Texas. All right, this is Rebecca KK7IJZ. Next on the list is Corey in Nova Scotia. I think I got a VE1 out of your call sign, but Corey in Nova Scotia, please come ahead with your report."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T12:56:43+00:00","id":15511,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":15510,"text":" All right, Cammie, KG7RAB.

Our house is so messy right now and I just haven't had much time to do house cleaning. And when I do have a moment, all I want to do is sit down and relax.

What's going on, Matt? Watch out now. Watch out. Not sure what that was about. Anyways, just wanted to pop in here and say hello. I think I got this thing hooked up right. It was giving me some trouble here a couple of minutes ago, and I just had an experience with an Uber driver that's got me a little flustered. But anyways, it's a lovely day in the undisclosed location that I am. But Anna should be on her way here soon. Hopefully, she's catching a flight to the unspecified location. If you pay attention on APRS, you may be able to catch it, but that's all I'll say for now, and that's all I really got. I've been in and out of the net because I was catching an Uber ride, so. Anyhow, nice to hear you all, and I'll throw it back to you, KG7WUI. Well, Matt, you two have fun at the ice cream social tomorrow. No, I don't know. I'm not hooked up to APRS. I'm just guessing. But, yeah. Well, Matt, sorry the Uber driver got you all flustered. I'm glad that you are safe and sound now, and has coming, and yeah, all of the things. Great to hear from you, Matt.

Hello, Brian. Hello to the net. What a nice day it was today. I mean, not only was it just really nice weather here in Seattle, and a perfect day to go to the park, but also it was so nice just to see everybody, and to be outside, and to celebrate Brooks and Megan, and to celebrate our community, really. So anyway, I loved it. The ice cream was yummy. And the time in the park was great. And I was so grateful to everybody who checked in this morning on the morning net, because I stood in for Jack and ran the 9 AM net while Jack was getting everything set up down the park. And it was just a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun to run the net this morning. So thanks, and a radio wave to everybody who checked in today for me. And a huge shout out to Jack too. Jack does a huge amount of work in organizing these things, and bringing the equipment. And yeah, I kind of feel like a lot of the energy of PSRG in these events kind of revolves around Jack. So a really big hat tip to him, and a huge debt of gratitude, I think, for me, because I super appreciate that we can do this together. OK, well, I think that's about it. Just kind of winding down for the evening. And yeah, just enjoying the afterglow and having a really nice weekend with you all. KJ7 and UW, back to you. Hey, good stuff there, Madeline. Glad you were able to make it to that Rainier Shine Neck and some ice cream. Celebrate Brooks and Megan. Very cool. And I have to plus one your sentiment towards Jack. KI7, RMU. I think people don't realize how much he does behind the scenes. Some of it's visible, and we see that he does a lot more behind the scenes that pulls this all together. Makes it seamless. It's perfect. So Jack, I bet you're out there listening. Tip of the hat to you. Thank you for all you do. So very cool. Thanks for sharing that, Madeline, and running that 9 AM net this morning. We'll catch you down the log here. All right, up next, Mike, how are you tonight? KJ7, Victor, Echo, UNIPAR. Please give us a report. Located in Shelton, Washington. Hi, Brian. You know, Jack knows more people than any of the ministers in any of the churches I've known. I mean, yeah, he's got quite a little social life going, hasn't he? So yeah, I've gone up around 11. I didn't do much of anything today. Kind of a wake up and, you know, smell the coffee kind of day. Welcome to the proud recluse walking down my wall. Katrina, I'll get you something to play with. Yeah, and the other side of the house has actually outdoor. There are black widows in the woodpile. They're real timid. You can't just pick up a piece of wood and just bang on it. They'll go walking into the darkness. They don't like being disturbed and light and things. So last night, I've been doing the kind of the inverted summer night shift thing, where you're up all night and you're asleep during the day too. Last night, between about 2 and 3.30, the tribal that has their village across the locks from me down at 35th and north side of the ship canal, we're doing some fussy drumming for hours and hours. Great. I mean, there's what, an hour and about three weeks past the powwows. They're doing farewell ceremonies and then homecomings when they get there probably, my guess. But yeah, they were doing responses from Daybreak Star. Very loud ones. A lot of people up there at the parade at the ceremony grounds. And then the rest of them were down by the locks at their village. It was back and forth, back and forth. It was really interesting to hear those ceremonial stuff. And yeah, I love having them around here. At least they've got sovereignty. And they've got relatives in Canada that they can't ever see, many of them. It's just Canada, they don't have sovereignty. So the CBSC gives them all that stuff. Trying to get across the border usually. And I know a trans person at my senior center who can't get a passport because in another country, her sex is not what it says in her certificate. That's kind of interesting. Factoid about that stuff. Oh well, you're an American for sure. QED is your V-E-U. Thanks, Brian. OK, very interesting. We had talked about the powwow that would be going on. We'd mentioned it on the net in the announcements a number of times. And I don't know if I've gotten any reports of that. So very interesting. Even at 2 around 3.30 AM, they were still going there doing some of the stuff there. So very, very cool. Well, thanks for sharing that for sure. And yeah, these hot nights, I'm sure it's probably easier. When it's so hot during the day, it's hard to get stuff done. You're up all night there. Well, good stuff there. Thanks for sharing that, Mike. You have a great night. We'll catch you down the log. All right, Amy, KB9, IQX. Did I say that right? How are you tonight, Amy? Please give us a report. Well, good evening, Brian. Thank you for doing the net. Good evening to everybody on the net. Yeah, you said that absolutely correctly. There is more than one way to do things. There's more than one way to say things. So really, anyway, you say it. It's correct. Anyway, I'm having a good evening. Right now, I am within eye shot. That's like ear shot, but visual. Within eye shot of the Statue of Liberty here on Alki. Just taking the scenic route, or the scenic route. Zibboleth, shibboleth, depending on how you say it. Taking that back home. Delivered some goods to somebody that needed some stuff out here, so good deal with that. Ran some errands. And yeah, it was really, I'm actually pretty tired. After today, I realized how much, like I didn't sit at all during the rain or shine. So I was on my feet talking to people. Didn't really hydrate enough. Didn't really hydrate enough yesterday when I was doing yard work. So I've got some makeup hydration to do. So I am actually on my way up to the Safeway, help that admiral. Going to get myself some fizzy water. Going to get a bag of ice. Make sure I've got provisions for that. And yeah, it was a really good day. Hanging out with people, seeing people, talking to people. Weirdly enough, I didn't actually talk much on the radio today. Oh no, I did check into Madeline's net in the morning, but that was at my house. And then I didn't check into the new net. But funny thing is today, Facebook reminded me that on this day in 2017, I discovered this wonderful geeky thing called SDR, software defined radio, of course. And I think that got me back into playing with radio stuff. And eventually, a couple of years later, that got me back into amateur radio. So today, I am celebrating International Radio Amy Day. And it was a good day. KB9IQX, I hope everybody has a good week. Hey, a little good stuff there. Happy SDR anniversary there. Since I moved, I don't know where my SDR is. I got to find that and start playing with it again. It could be a lot of fun. Hey, you mobile safe out there. Glad you were able to get to the rain or shine. And we will catch you down the log there. All right, moving right along here. Magoo, how are you doing tonight?

Oh, I was actually down your way Well, I was in Tacoma on Sunday. I was helping a friend build a gazebo in their backyard And you know, it's funny because for a while there I was kind of hemming and hawing on their design because we were kind of making up a custom thing and You know if it's construction for me or you know automotive repair for me. I don't care it can be flipshod It can be it can be very questionable. I don't care. It's only me, you know, but I'm doing it for somebody else It's like oh, well, I don't want thing to fall down on them or to fail on them. So I'm a little more cautious So like the last couple of months when we've talked about this project whenever I went out to like sit out on patios, you know or restaurants then have That have covered patios gazebo like things I've been paying attention To how these things are constructed and put together And I realized the world is a frightening place People people do all kinds of weird stuff I felt better about my own, you know, weird construction You know if it's good enough for a place that you know carries liability like a restaurant And there looks like kind of like it's flip shot construction. Hey, it's good enough for me. So I felt better Anyway, the project was coming along pretty well It was cool because I got to take my Jeep down there and drive it so Anyway, it's been a good couple of days I'm finally feeling sore from the weekend of of construction, which is weird that there's like There's like that much of a delay. So I don't know if that means like I'm healthy or unhealthy but whatever I Took a good soak yesterday. So now today I feel better.

There is definitely a point at which the smaller form factor can just make something all the more portable and easier to sort of throw around, or even in a pocket which you can't do with a smaller pocket, but you can't really do with the full size down things necessarily. So that for instance is my only, even with my Yaesu FT60 I wish it were smaller. I wish I had a radio that was exactly the same as that one but smaller.

Is it scheduled the same way field day so that they're always in conflict? I had to give the repeater a chance to say it's peace. Much of the time, yeah, because Pride weekend here in Seattle is always the fourth weekend of June. And of course, as we all know, genuflecting and blessing, you know, the word of the A-double RL.
