So I went to another building to go and deal with that. That went well and I got to see some people I hadn't seen for a while. So we had a good time of discussing somebody that we used to know that they had a late kind of memory thing for him. So I went and attended and everybody had a good time. So that worked out. However, I am going to point out that after I didn't know anything else had gone down until I got home and I find this message on my phone, are you okay? Because you didn't answer. So it turned out KJ7R got a little concerned and kept blaming me messages. And I finally answered him and said, I'm fine. Why? And he says, well you're still alive right? And I said, yeah I'm still alive. So any tales or mentions in the news of my having not be alive is that with someone else. So otherwise I am doing fine and apparently somebody else that had the same first name as me is not so fine and stuck in memory right now. So I'm not sure what the deal is there. But I am fine. So I told him it is greatly exaggerated and that yeah, they can't keep me out of the other place downstairs because it keeps kicking me out. So keeping it clean and presentable for a wide ranging audience. I'm still here and I can still be funny because I gotta be me. You guys can't get rid of me this easy. But I'm having a good time. Although it is a little on the muddy side. KJ7EXM back to Ned. ... ... Alright folks, you heard it. Laundry room downstairs. Well Sean I'm glad that you are alive and kicking and doing pretty well. As soon as you ... I knew exactly who it was who was worried about you. And honestly it's nice to have a friend who is worried about you and makes sense that you're safe and sound. So glad everything has gone well and thanks very much for checking in. Next up on this list is KJ7IXM. Brian, what's up? Good evening this is Brian, KJ7IVP coming to you from Pike Place Market. Don't often participate in the net. Usually just lurk but thought I would get in today as everybody has talked about. Saw the Blue Angels today watching westbound from Pike Place Market. You can't really see too well. I tried to listen to some of their radio comms. I was able to pick up some on 305.5 megahertz. But it was a little too wee for me to hear here. I'm getting ready to go back to my home town. I'm from Alabama, Louisiana. So I'll be heading back down there in the next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to riding along with my old police department. I was a police officer in college and so I'm going to do some ride alongs down there. I've been trying to program new radios that I got in order to participate in some of the two meter nets and port 40 nets down there. And what I found was the new version of the radios that I bought do not work with chirp. So programming is really a pain having to use a phone app and dealing with CSVs and all kind of stuff. I am a professional software engineer so I actually looked into extending chirp support to these new radios. But what I found is that a lot of work to be done because there is no connectivity model for bluetooth with chirp and so that's the only way to program these new radios. And the UVPro protocol has not been reverse engineered yet. It could be quite an undertaking."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-05T22:21:47+00:00","id":14412,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":14411,"text":" W-8-7, this is Sebastian with an I-O.

Don't do that, Jack. OK, you're looking at that. No, I've heard about this. And that looks pretty crazy. You know, that might, it might be something I could be convinced to do. You know, I'm generally not a roller coaster person. But it does look like you've got your own brake there. And so you can kind of sort of drive and control your own speed a little bit. So I don't know, maybe, maybe that is something I might be interested in. It looks like there's some amazing views. And I'm not, you know, someone who tends to be afraid of heights really too much. Megan, however, is. So I highly doubt that she would be participating based on some of the over the cliff type of views that I'm seeing in the videos. But yeah, we'll report back on that one. Give me a little bit of time here. But anyway, hey, I am so glad to hear that you got some positive reports there from the doctor and the PT. That is great news, my friend. I'm really glad to hear that. And yeah, keep up the good work there. And yeah, so, and Joan, yeah, give Jack a call if you need some more audio stuff. Sounds like he's got a boatload in his garage.

I have not been to our last operator's PTH, still from the Philippines, but I have been to say that, believe it or not, wandered around there for a few days. Boy, it's been too long. It's been almost 15 years. But I really like the Philippines. I really like the sort of unification of a whole bunch of different people and cultures in a bunch of different islands. It vaguely, vaguely reminds me of our experiment here in the United States. But yeah, love the Philippines, love the weather, love the food, holy cow, love the people, and thank you so much for dropping in and saying hi. And being part of the night's nest, I know it's Friday over there, but it is about 10.20 over here in the Seattle area. Well, thanks, don't be a stranger, and good to hear from you over there. We have two more stations, actually just one more station with a check-in on this round. Houston 7IP with region TWA. Hey, Ben, Brian here. Look, Ben, I just wanted to say thank you for hosting tonight's nest. I know it's a hard job, and you make it seem easy. Congratulations on your new job. I'm also actually starting a new job at the beginning of September. That's why I'm taking August off on that travel. Also, it's good to hear that you like bike. I am looking forward to trying out the new bike trail down there on the waterfront, but I think that they either have just completed or are completing soon. With regard to the radio programming, in case anybody's interested, the major problem with the new radios that use Bluetooth for programming is that Bluetooth is necessarily an asynchronous operation, whereas Chirp presumes that it has synchronous operations with the radio. Bluetooth, like it imposes a segment reassemble that makes it fundamentally compatible with Chirp, and so it's going to take a lot of software work to build in a layer that allows Chirp to work correctly. Speaking of, I noticed that you had mentioned that you're interested in a TechNet. I'm interested in that as well. I might even be interested in hosting. However, I don't think I could do it weekly, but perhaps doing it once a month or something might be interesting, so I may reach out to some of the group leaders. Anyway, that's all I had to say. Once again, thank you so much for hosting the Net Tonight.

They checked in all those places and they said, yep, it's not your problem, poor and low. And by the time you look up where your reservoir is and it's a water tower over the city at the other end of the neighborhood and it's only at about 600 feet. And my house here, our ground level, had about 500, well, about 540 feet, roughly. So we've got enough head of water to put much pressure. So I've been battling that, trying to water my lawn. But I just, I did some research on some sprinklers that do pretty, that are supposed to do pretty well on low pressure and I'm using those and they improved things for me, but I just replaced, I just had a hunch, had a piece of hose going from the spigot out for sprinkler and I just changed that out. And wow, I'm probably getting another purge with about half as much distance out of my sprinklers. I just went back there like these super adjustable sprinklers for speed, good with all kinds of situations, including low pressure. And wow, that made such a huge difference. Anyway, just amazed. And one little piece of hose that is an older one, I've been driving around for a while. So I guess, if you're chasing down, change out your hose. I'm pretty happy about it. I know you're getting old when you're excited about changing out a piece of hose, which is making you better able to watch your grass grow. Anyway, that's all I got. This is Keelah Julia Southern, in Gulf Delta, November in Port Orchard. Thank you for your report. Yeah, it sounds like you're one of those people that's used for the other. Yeah, it sounds like you're one of those people that's easily amused. I'm one of those people as well. I have trouble keeping myself occupied and happy. And it's kind of a good thing because that means there's always something to keep you occupied and happy because you've got things you're thinking about, things you're doing, and it sounds like you're doing them. You know that the analogy between water pipes and wires is very apt, the smaller the pipe, the smaller the hose, more resistance there is to flow. Even if you're not flowing very much water, it still reduces the pressure. So yeah, larger hose definitely will help out there. I'm curious though, did they measure the water pressure at your house, typically measured? Like you got a typically people have a faucet that's right there where the water comes in and that's where you would measure. Probably usually where they measure for the maximum pressure. Did they tell you what the pressure was? Yeah, I actually bought my own water gauge so I could measure it. And we both measured it at 37 PSI. And typical for residential water pressure is about nearly 60 PSI. 40 is considered the lowest acceptable, but with the warning that if you've got multiple things running, you may not have as much pressure as you expect. So 40 is really considered minimum. I'm at 37 and usually 50 to 60 is considered your typical ideal pressure. Your typical ideal water pressure. Thank you for that. Two more questions. So, Inspector Guy also had a water pressure gauge and I take it that your two gauges agree, that's good. And the question is, what other people in the Northwest who kind of get this, I don't know what you call it, kind of accept the fact that sometimes it gets a little dry around here, they don't even have the problems. I said there was gonna be a drought this year, although I didn't hear any official proclamation. But a lot of people just kind of let their grass, they don't water it and it just kind of dries out in summer and then as soon as rain comes around, September or whatever, then it gets revived. So I take it you want to show that like screen grass, how much grass do you have in your yard and like the yard size and do you do all of your yard or is there just part of it that you keep preying? Well, so that's the other part of the story. My yard, a lot of people refer to my size property as a postage stamp, it is very small. We bought the house with the property I'm living here brand new a couple years ago and we found out since then that the sliver here is really, really, really bad. It's basically sand with a little bit of like silky clay to hold it all together. You go down a few inches and it basically feels like concrete and it turns out what the builder did here to save money is they just left all that there still and then land caked it a little bit and then just rolled sod out on top of it. So there's no top soil. So I have been doing a bunch of stuff just to the, I don't know what is, 300 square foot yard in the front yard. That's all I'm playing with, that's all I'm watering right now. And it's basically, this is my experiment. I'm trying to figure out how to make this work. So I have brought in, I've top dressed it with a bunch of top soil and now I'm trying to fill in a lot of holes. I'm probably, well, I need to go down and get a bunch of peat moss. And I want to get some peat moss, I want to put down some seed and some peat moss on top of this. But the problem is I'm going to Disneyland for a week. I'll be basically out of town for almost a week and a half in the beginning of September. So I don't have enough time to get it, put grass down, have it all seeded and along well before we're going to leave. So I'm going to have to do it when we get back, even though it's going to be a little on the late in the season side, but hopefully it'll go. But once I've got good grass established, I am happy to let it go brown in the winter, or in the summer. That's no problem. I'm just trying to figure out with this little spot in the front, how to get grass established. And then I'm going to use what I learned here to do grass on the side of the house. And then I got to do a bunch of work in the back. I need to put in some play structures for the kiddos and stuff, and then get that to actually grow. Because right now in the back, it's terrible. It's like a desert wasteland with a few weeds growing in it. You can't really find any grass growing back there anymore. There's a kilo julius 7 in Gulf Delta November. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All kinds of little julius 7-2. We've got quite a project there. Look at it in Shelton, Washington. Understand what your soil conditions are, and taking it one step at a time. Sounds like quite a challenge that you are up to there. So congratulations on that. And have a good trip down to California and Disneyland. So it sounds like fun for September. Thank you for your report. Hey, this is Tim K7ZEI. It is 946. You're listening to the 9 PM net for August 3, 2025. And I'm standing in for Brian TAE 7K ZH. This evening. Next, we have got Brooke. Brooke, come with your report. Good evening, Tim and everyone on the net. Welcome to BDC Brooks here in Newcastle. Good evening. Thanks for filling in tonight for Brian. That's awesome. Let's see. Had a hell lot going on this weekend. So I took Thursday and Friday off of work. And we went over to Leavenworth. Megan's mom rented an Airbnb. And so it was me and Megan and the dog, Strixie Remy. And then it was Megan's mom and her brother and her brother's girlfriend and their dog. And so we had a good fun time over there. Came back today, this morning. We got to check out at 11. So made our way back here home. Got all settled in. And just kind of had a little bit of a lazy rest of the day Sunday. We've been out of town, so it was just kind of nice to be back at home for the last part of the weekend here. So let's see. Last night, went for a nice walk along the river. The dogs got to go swimming and everything. So that was a lot of fun. We stayed up late playing cards. And then got a good night's rest so that it's kind of nice to finish off the weekend like that. So please mark Megan down as an IO, K9 MLR. She's over in the other room sending radio waves. And once again, Tim, thanks for covering the net. And I was going to say, 7-3, everyone. K9, BDC."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-07-30T21:41:36+00:00","id":11745,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":11744,"text":" Pause, cause I missed the last letter.
