And I ran into someone from church and mentioned that, um, I had begun discussing with the rector the possibility of offering a lay preacher's class, and she said she'd be interested. So that's cool, because the class is much more likely to happen if I can get two or three or four people lined up. Um, and so that was cool. And then, uh, and then there was a lady who had two little kids, and they wanted to hear the ABC song. So we... First they wanted to hear Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, so I did that. Then they wanted to hear the ABC song. To hear this, almost, but not quite the same. Um, the rhythm is different. And so I put it down in a key where we could all sing it, and pretty soon there were five people singing the ABC song with a harp accompaniment. It was unbelievably cute. And then I did Doe a Deer, a female deer, because I said, if we're going to do the reading alphabet, we have to do the musical alphabet too. And, um, of course, soulfish is one of these things. I, um, you know, I took a look at it. Doe a deer, female deer, blah blah blah. And then I had to teach a 40-hour music seminar in Spanish. And in Spanish they used, um, soulfish with a fixed doe on C.

I have two hunches about cutting off at the front there. You're referring to something I had a problem with before where there was a setting on the phone, I think you are, that is used in some networks. It's kind of like a PL tone, it just kind of establishes that there's a transmission or a connection going on here. I don't think it's that. I thought I had noticed this a couple of times since I installed my new J-pol, which has a big old DX engineering coax out there. When I key up shortly thereafter is when my automatic fan comes on, on my Yeizu FT8900. And so I wonder if it's just taken a minute to like get the electricity, I mean a moment of course, and I don't know if something is exaggerating the delay before my signal is like fully activated, getting out through the new antenna with the heavy duty coax. That's the first antenna and or transmission issue on my head. And the other thing, someone brought up the idea of making your own antennas, which I am working on making a fan dipole. I got a one to one ballon and I got some wire and I'm going to be doing, I don't have an antenna analyzer, so I might have to wait, but I'm planning to set up a 10 meter and 6 meter dipole on my balcony, fourth floor, facing south. My hope is to hit other communities further on down the coast eventually with 6 or 10 meters, because I just have this little portable 4 band. Anyway, that's it, KI7RYW, thanks for the net, hello to everyone, good to hear the reports, KI7RYW. Alright, thank you, thank you for those comments. Well, first off, a fan dipole on 6 and 10 should give you all kinds of things. And 10 has been, not in the last couple of weeks, well that's not true, it's starting to pick up again. 10 has been very active, I guess 6 has also, although I don't pay much attention to 6. And so you should have some good contacts across the country, not just down the coast, but across the country and even across the oceans both directions. Japan loves to talk to the US for one thing. Anyway, you'll have a lot of fun with that, that's good. And the delay is, there's no delay involved in getting, well not discernible, involved in getting a signal off coax and into an antenna. That's got to be a setting on the radio somehow, or the radio doing something, because when you push the mic button you've got power. So, I don't know, I wish I could remember what that was called. Anyway, maybe somebody else will. And thank you, thank you. This is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning.

But yeah, sometimes I'll show Galveston, Texas, some things I'll show Galveston Island, Texas. But you know, Galveston Island is an island, but it can be actually, you can't change cities over there. Galveston, the city of Galveston, at Jamaica Beach, which is south and west, is the main. It's the main on the western part of the island, south and western part of the island. So anyway, let's see what's on my mind tonight. Well, I saw the video of the picnic the PSRD had, and I saw your lovely smiling face, and it was again, it made me feel good. It was the most wonderful part, seeing y'all having such a good time. This, yesterday, I happened to go into YouTube live, live video of the Orem Sea Spear, or Air Show, but that was pretty good, so I got to see, you know, the C-17 flying around. I saw the C-46, and I saw a little bit of the Blue Angels, and some of the hydrofoil races, so that was cool. I mean, it looked like there was a big crowd. The ceiling was hollow, so the Blue Angels didn't really get a chance to do a lot of what they normally do. I used to go to Air Shows quite a bit, and I seen the Blues, the Thunderbirds, and the Snowbirds. And I got a lot of Air Show pictures I've taken over the years, and I see there's something else that's going on that I'm trying to think of. Well anyway, well I'm glad that also that you all very well both, both through the tsunami, I was monitoring, I was doing the, the repeater, and I heard a little bit of fast carrying there, but fortunately nothing, not a whole lot happened, happened in your wake, which is a good time. I hope you guys don't be threatened by anything like any time in the near future. So that's about all I have tonight. Thanks for hosting it, it's always good to hear you, Joe. 73KF5WYB.net Tsunami, yeah she was my roommate in college. Well, yeah we did all right. You know, we were sheltered a bit in the sound, but you know the sea rise of a tsunami is deceptive, because it's not just a wave, it's like entire ocean is suddenly above normal, and there's a lot more behind that, but we didn't do, I didn't hear any really bad damage, or catastrophic damage anywhere locally, and I'm glad that it warmed your heart to see my smiling face. You know, when you saw me in the video, I was in my nerdy antenna mathematics happy place, so I love it. An analog head, more people are digiheads now, I'm still an analog head, and RF is one of my hobbies I guess. I just happen to have a ham radio license. All right, take care of her, and also a mid 19th century fam 88. All right, so moving right along, we had a couple of IOs from Ki7ryw and KC2STO, and that brings us to Jeff, who is putting a bow on the first round. AB6MB, please give us, oh it popped up here on my, one of my, I keep one of my pads ready for other lines, back channels I should say. But anyway, Jeff, AB6MB, please give us your report.

Alright, uh, M3, O-M-O, good morning, Elaine. Good morning to you. It's a beautiful hot day here. Um, we're gonna be close to 100 again. And, um, that makes it very, very warm. Although some of the cats don't mind and they're still out on the screen porch. We've got the door cracked open so they can come in when they want to. So, um, they're quite happy. No similar inside though. Um, I had a strange experience last night. Um, yesterday, I received a letter from my bank stating that, um, it was tied to my yearly charge of $20 for my, um, of safety closet box. And I don't even remember getting a safety closet box. So we went to the bank yesterday and sure enough, I did take one out a year ago in July 26th. They had the papers and yes, it was my signature, but I couldn't find my keys. And she said, well, we gave you a red envelope and showed me what it looked like with two keys in it. And I said, well, I don't know what you do. She said, well, go home and look for your keys. Cause if you can't find them, there is a $300 charge to the keys. So we got in the car and I turned to my higher power and I said, okay, please show me where those keys are. So we went back home and actually in the car, I had my eyes closed and in my mind side, I saw the red envelope in my jewelry box. So I came home, went directly to the jewelry box and guess what? That's where it was. I was so grateful and so thankful. And I screamed for my brother, Rob, and I said, come here, I found them. And there they were right where I saw it in my mind's eye. That was just unbelievable. So we're going to go back today and return the keys and see if I have anything in the box. I don't even know. So if anybody has a safety closet box, make sure you know where your keys are. So anyway, back to you. Have a great day. This is November 3, ask Mike Oskar. Alright, thank you Elaine. I used to have a safety closet box a long time ago. My dad always did. That's why I did, I guess. But I couldn't figure out anything worthwhile putting in it. So I finally cancelled that and have a fire safe lock box that I keep papers in. Anyway, that's a lot more accessible, although the same key problem exists. Alright, thank you Elaine. And the KJ7WQI. Good morning, ma'am. Good morning, Bill. It's afternoon over here on the East Coast. Just flew from San Antonio up to Washington, D.C. And we're a little bit delayed heading up to Boston next. We're going to be boarding in the next like 10 minutes or so. We're delayed for haze and smoke in the Boston area. The Canadian wildfires have officially started to drift over towards the East Coast and towards Boston. I'm sure the air quality is going to be a little bit lower. But yeah, I get home relatively early today. One more flight, a little over an hour in flight between here and Boston. And then I'll be home and able to relax. So I'll throw it back to you. Thanks for running in that, Bill. Everybody have a good one. KJ7WQI. Alright, thank you, Matt. And thank you for checking in from the airport. Glad you weren't boarding yet. So smoke drifting in from Canada. I think we have some of that here also, but we're generating our own fires too. Alright, and once you get through all of that, I'll get home. And home is always a great goal, isn't it? I think about that one. I look at the freeway at rush hour. Everybody is headed home. And that's where you go. That's where comfort is. Alright, thank you, ma'am. This is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning. This is W7VAS for Jenkins, please. Kilo Indigo 7 Romeo Yankee Whiskey David with a recheck. Alright, yeah, David, go ahead. Okay, thank you. I have two things here. I'm looking into the CTCSS on the computer to figure out why it might delay. It's not really a PL tone, but there might be something similar. Also, I'm not sure maybe you or someone can clarify, please. When you transmit and the repeater transmits out, and then you finish and I can hear you unkey, there's another moment of, it sounds like the channel is being used. The channel frequency is active if not carrying a strong signal. So am I supposed to wait until that drops, which can be a few seconds? Or should I, this delay that we're emphasizing now to make this effective, even if I have a setting I need to update, should I key and then delay? And so I've been trying to do a combination of both. That's the one. The other thing for our new friend from Rockaway, New York, I heard you mention the 9 a.m. net and the 9 p.m. net, and now for a few years we've been having a noon o'clock net every day. And that's, I think, we're hundreds and hundreds for a few years now, consecutive. And so just to pass on a little bit further, emphasize what you were saying. It's a strong community of people just checking in, saying hi, coming and going, and updating on useful information here and there. So that's kind of a question, or sharing my exploration points on the radio transmit issue, and then also emphasizing the value of the community. Thank you for running the net today and everyone else who regularly for years and years and years, decades now for the 9 o'clocks and years now for the 12 o'clock noon net. And then we do the weekends, of course, like this coming weekend onsite, kind of get-togethers for the noon net. Alright, that's going to be it, KI7 RYW. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. Alright, thank you David. And, yeah, well I was talking about the 9 o'clock net history of the 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. But yes, you're right, the noon net that Jack started and I guess still runs, and that's the same concept. I'm always doing something else at noon and I miss that net, but I know it exists. I suppose if I were active with it I would think about it more. Okay, thank you. Oh, and your other question. No, you don't have to wait for it to drop out at all, but what you do need to wait for is the courtesy tone. And the, you know, when I stop transmitting here it'll pause a beep and then you'll hear the beep. Once you hear the courtesy tone, the beep, then the channel is clear for you to step in. Um, yeah, that courtesy beep lets you know that the calendar is reset, basically. Okay, this is the 9 o'clock net. More check-ins, please. Whiskey Quebec 7 Hotel, this is James. Good morning, James.

Hey, Michael. Hey, good afternoon to you, Jack, and hello to everybody listening on the net. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta Michael here in Kirkland. And it's a rainy day, Jack. That's okay. Needed the rain. Started raining softly in the middle of the night, and it rained harder this morning. And what am I doing? Well, I realized in my malware bytes protection, I don't think, even though they're kind of protected, I don't think I have any of the right computers listed. I'm trying to figure that out. And it's kind of baffling to me. So, oh well. And, because I have five computers over here, different kinds, and I want to get them. And there's five listed, but I don't think they're the right ones. One of them is, but the rest aren't. Anyway, and I'm packing up for a Bigfoot. And that's gonna be interesting. They decided to move our site to a place that's very small. I don't think we can get six A station vehicles in, and there'll be big trucks and R5 ham vehicles. And hopefully there's no one camped there, because it's right near a river. And one of the guys said people camp there all the time. We'll see. Don't want to park my vehicle out on the road. So I don't know what's gonna happen. Anyway, that's what's going on over here. Jack, thanks for the net. Everybody have a safe day. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta. Well, Michael, before you get on the road to get down there, are there, or is there someone doing a site survey, a potential site survey early on, so that you can figure out well before you get there, just what you are going to encounter once you do? Uh, Jack, actually Google Drive maps, or whatever they call them, drove the road, so you can see how the road is one lane wide, very narrow, and no shoulders. And then it turns off onto this road that's closed. That's gonna be used as a trail. So they come up a road and then turn onto the trail. But there's not a lot of space, that's the problem. And I don't know whether the road's, I don't think the road is, road number 23 is closed. So it's gonna be interesting. I go to Cole Bar Lake the first night, and then we'll see if there's space for me or not, because the two days are gonna be in a converted school bus with all the equipment. And if anybody's camped there from people camping, there's actually, the spaces are real small, even if no one's camped there. I don't know if there's room for all our vehicles, so. And so the only way you know if anybody's camped there, someone drives it today or tomorrow, and see if anybody's down there. It's a long ways from here to go down and just drive it to see what's going on. Anyway, Jack, thanks for asking. Everybody have a safe day. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. All right, Michael, good luck to you and everyone else on the Bigfoot 200. That is, oh man, that's such a big unknown. Hate to have you get down there and find out that you have to turn around, Michael, unless you are parked on the road. No, thank you. You're gonna have to go probably. Oh yeah, all right, well hopefully people improvise, may do, and it'll all work out in the end, and you'll have a successful Bigfoot 200, especially after all the work and planning you put into it. All right, well I hope you do. Say hi to Kathy, of course, today, and thank you, Michael, for coming on by. Let's go back to John at Commando Island. John, are you available by chance? Why, yes I am. This is John Kilo 9, Juliet Echo Bravo. So not only do I have three radios running, one of which has no signal, one of which has a extremely marginal and almost completely uncopyable signal, and then one that has a barely copyable signal. So I'm going with the barely copyable signal one at the moment. So then I got a phone call and a station manager at the same time, so just perfect, perfect timing for the station manager. The PSA is for the Granite Falls Repeater. If anybody uses a Granite Falls Repeater, in Snohomish County, today it was narrowbanded, which means they changed a couple of things. They changed the frequency, so they knocked it down five kilohertz, it's now 146925, narrowband FM, 146925, narrowband FM, with again still a negative offset. This is Repeater Station Kilo Kilo 7, November, now has a PL 7 of 156.7, and it's by the Snohomish County ACS, but anyway, I just wanted to get that out there because it just changed like an hour ago. So that way folks can reprogram your radios. So narrowband FM, Granite Falls, 146.925, with a PL of 156.7, that's 146.925, with a PL of 156.7, and negative offset for that one. Anyway, that's the PSA, it's rainy here, we got almost an eighth of an inch, so I'll throw it back to the control, 73 K9JEB. All right, and I believe, I don't know if you were monitoring a couple of days ago, there was a couple of people working on a repeater up that way, and I believe that that is the one, and they were doing some testing, once it was all dialed in, I think Don from the very repeater was up there, somebody from our group, and others I think too, and I don't know how many were actually on site, but is that the repeater they were working on, because it seemed like they were changing something around, and I'll bet you that's what it was, do you know? That I don't know, it's likely though, but I don't know, the only one person that I recognized on the list of folks who were on here is Scott, in 7SS, and yeah, so anyway, they got it all squared around, and it's up and running, and it's all working, so anybody that has a radio program for the old frequency of the PL, it definitely won't work, and it's now narrowband FM instead of wide mode, so just wanted to get that out there, repeater book hasn't been updated yet, it might take, I don't know, months even for that to happen, so just wanted to get that out there, and let everybody know. 73, back to net control, K9JEB. All right, and I imagine the most up to date source for any changes in frequencies, PL tones, anything like that would be www.arra.org, and get on their site and look for the latest updates there. All right, well thank you, appreciate that, John, have a great afternoon, hope you're enjoying a little bit of rain up there. Okay, let's see who's up next, we've got James, WQ7H. WQ7H. WQ7H, I am James. Good afternoon, well there you go. Good afternoon, everyone. Hello Michael, you're sounding well, and I hope you enjoy the Bigfoot excursion. Yay, Cammy, thank you for checking in. You know, those carnival stereos, I remember back in the day when there was, there were, pshh, jeez, there were people that wanted in their carnival stereos, but they just didn't have the room, they were like apartment dwellers. And so companies like Avery Fisher started to market compact consoles. And so they would, they built really nice units, they were, they were real wood, and the turntables, real turntables, were in the top, and so you would lift up the top, and the turntable would glide up, and then you could play your vinyl, and then in the front of the unit was, of course, the tuner amp, it was a combo, it was a tuner amplifier combo. And then, and like, you know, it had the Avery Fisher logo, was it an angel or something like that, or it was like a note, or two notes strung together. Anyway, Avery Fisher, there you go, what a guy. And then he sold it. He done did, I believe, he sold it, ooh. And that was kind of the end of all the nice wood cabinetry, you know, it went for dollars instead of, you know. I mean, remember when Zenith advertised their stuff, like the quality goes in before the name goes on, and you'd see somebody soldering like a wire to a tube socket and there'd be the smoke, the magic smoke, and that was the quality going in before the name goes on, Zenith, ooh. There you go. I am, well let me pause for a breath. My little, my N5 BOC hotspot, there, lost some dust. I'm using the WPSD software to accommodate my dual port N5 BOC hotspot, and the software went TU last night, so I'm reloading the software. And my backup, well, it's kind of fuzzy too, so we're just drilling through and reloading, and that's giving me something to do today, because my Jodie Bear is with her daughter, Whitney, and they're down at Virginia Mason spending the day. She has like six, seven, seven appointments. They're checking on her because of all the chemotherapy that she has to go through, like all the time. About every six months she goes through a five week regime of chemo, so it's gonna be a tough week for her. But that's where she is at, and so we're here just sending out positive, we're sending out good vibrations. And so there you go, I've got a nice big pan of lasagna, which we will have ready for Whitney and Joan when they get back for dinner tonight. And there it is, so that's what's going on. I'm focusing on radio to keep my brain occupied. That's the news from here in WQ7H land. Old bird, you might think you're impervious. You might think you're invisible, you're not. And as I gaze in awe upon the new radio, RTFM, WQ7H back to Jack. All right, JV, great to hear you. Thank you so much for checking out. You enjoy that lasagna. Yeah, man, I love that stuff. Hardly ever make it though, and even less, but good to hear you. All right, well, you know, you gotta look at your eight timer to see what's wrong with that thing. Hey, I got a question for you. Did you realize, and I know you said that, you know, eventually Fisher ended up selling the company after he'd made the pretty good money there, but it says here when the audio market veered toward mass merchandising in 1969, Fisher sold the company to Emerson for $31 million in 1969. That was a stack of money. But then, listen to this, he sold it to Sanyo, or sorry, Emerson later sold it to Sanyo. And Fisher consulted for both companies, Emerson and Sanyo, so what a career. And an excellent violin player too. All right, anyway, James, good to hear you. You have a great afternoon. Let's go pick up our Megan off the floor after you get totally stomped on by James. Now, of course, not really stomped up either, I mean, K9 MLR Megan, how are you? Good afternoon, Jack and everyone out there on the K9 MLR Megan mobile here in Bellevue. Probably got stomped on because I'm mobile and I think I'm only on medium power. Jack, I'm not very good at working this radio in my rig. It's a different brand than most the rest of ours in our house, so I should probably figure out how to do that. So I should probably figure out how to change the power on that, their hi-fi one of these days, I'll get to that. But I am mobile-ing here. I got my heart rate up, the adrenaline going, and I got the blood pressure up, I'm sure, Jack, because I left the house and then I got a call, the alarm's going off, did you just leave, yes? I just left, what are you talking about? So nothing like sheer panic of trying to find a spot to turn around when you're not in a good spot to turn around and then race back to the house, not sure why the alarm was going off because the sensor that they said it was, was, it was closed, the door was closed, so I don't know, Jack, anyway, I'm awake now. Thanks for coming at 73, everyone, K9, MLR. Okay, you weren't trying to turn around on 405 or something crazy, were you? No, Jack, fortunately it was just down the hill from the house, but there wasn't a good spot to turn around because it was a weird intersection, K9, MLR. Yeah, that would be a little bit of trouble, I'd put it on 405. All right, well, you got it solved, that's a good thing too, so thank you so much. And your audio was excellent, excellent. If you were translating at that point there during that time, you were just fantastic, so good radio there. All right, well, thank you so much. Let's go talk to Ethan, K5, ONA. Hey, thanks, before I tell you I have to repeat your hearing and some pretty bad picket fencing, how am I making it into the main heat? Your audio's a bit odd, but no, you're coming all the way across all six of our receivers, so yeah, great job, go ahead, Ethan. Okay, just making sure. Thanks for handing it over to me. You had good timing, I'm just jumping onto the five-headed south of Seattle from Linwood. Current travel time is 35 minutes. And I teamed in right at the right time I was listening to Tammy, I think it was, talking about console record players. If you'd called me about four years ago when I was moving to New Jersey from California, my grandmother had a beautiful Reader's Digest custom console four that we could not get rid of and I would have been more than happy to put that in the back of the Jeep and drive it on up to you, but unfortunately that is long gone. But the good news is with the resurgence of vinyl and the appreciation of younger generations, a lot of these units that would wind up in the landfill somewhere actually getting saved and lining up in the secondhand, got some things like that. And if you happen to like better sound, the units, of course, are very easy to work on. You can take the turntables out of them, take the speakers out of them, put something newer in them, and still keep the charm of having a full-size console unit. But weather is gray, not raining right now, but coming from California I don't mind the rain. Any weather is novel. But that's it, that's about all I've got to say. 73 and back to neck control, K5-1A. All right, he said, hey, you have a great afternoon. Well, and I was gonna say I wasn't sure where I was going to insert this into the conversation, but I've seen a number of those old consoles, like you say, refitted with modern electronics, and man, there's some crazy ones out there. They don't cost $275 like they might have back in the day. I don't even remember what the range on the pricing was. We had one in our house, so probably 68, 69, something like that. Man, we thought that was the greatest thing you'd ever seen. They had everything in, the radio, AM, FM, had the record player, the amp, oh man, had the big old speakers, that thing sounded fantastic. Yeah, it was just amazing. Anyway, yeah, now you can't like I say, if it's an old one you probably can't even get it away until you find somebody like Cammie who wants one. So let's all keep an eye out for Cammie and see if we can't find her a nice console that she can get over to the house there. All right, well anyway, I'll talk to you later, Ethan. Nice to have you come in, K5, ONA out of Linwood. All right, who else would like to join us for the new net? It's 1247 p.m. on Jack KI7RMU, that's you. Come ahead, call, sign, and name. Okay. Go seven Romeo. It's David Wallingford. All right, Rich, I've got you. David, I've got you, who's next? KM7, AJM. All right, I thought you would join us there. Thank you so much. Good to hear you. Skipper, stand by, who's next? All right, Rich, Seattle K30E. How are ya? Go ahead, please. Fine over here. A few minutes ago, I had some hard shadows, although not anymore, but anyway, nice cool day. I did get pulled up for a walk, and Jack, he'd be proud of me. I went down to re-PC today, and I actually took something to be turned in, and I didn't buy anything, so how about that? So I'm behaving myself. Anyway, Jack, yeah, the internal lab is open again, and yeah, it's fun to get back into the crazy stuff, and yeah, keeps me going, keeps me thinking. Anyway, Jack, I was amazed that you were able to find that label for the UGA orange. That just blew me away that you could actually find a good copy of that label, because I can't read all the one that's on the unit I have here. Back to you, K30E. Well, that totally drives me nuts when I can't see what the heck it says on there, that UGA horn by Hutchins and Company, and the part that I could not figure out was St. Charles, Missouri. Did you realize they were from St. Charles? Did you ever know that? Yeah, there is. There's photo. There is another morgue on it somewhere, and I think I do know that. Anyway, Jack, that was just really, really cool Sherlock Holmes work on your part. Back to you, K30E. Oh, I don't know about that. Pretty easy way to tell you the truth, but listen to this. I did discover a lot of the different forms on the UGA horn, the Claxon horn, is that apparently that one says 12 volts, but they're really more six volts, but apparently in the forms it says, yes, six volts is correct, but 12 volts if you want the thing to scream, and so I'm wondering if they did that on purpose. I guess they probably did, but so are you going to at some point take that out of the antenna, and could you maybe do a little demonstration and maybe record that? If the UGA claxon does, that's six and 12. And now the thing is quite rusty when I look inside, you know, so I don't know if this thing will still work or not, but you know, I've got a nice 12 volt power supply here. Yeah, I'll give it a go, and I'll let you know what happens. Either I blow a fuse or it works. Back to you, K308. Well, hydrogen zinc company known for their claxon horns, those things, they must have made a billion of those things because there's a ton of available, one guy in the, one of the former said, I've got 50 of those things here, so. This is repeater station, you've got to be quite a few of them out there. Well, I'd be really curious, that would be kind of a neat side adventure for the antenna adventure. All right, well, hey, take care, Rich. You have a great afternoon. Nice to hear Polo in there too.
