Alright, well you have a great week ahead there, Tariq. Great to hear you, and thank you very much for the update on the conference. Very cool, very cool. And I hope you are inspired. Well, let's go out and talk to Skipper. Skipper, now that all that downed wood and so forth on the neighbor's property is all done, what's that keep doing with yourself now? KJ7, or sorry, KJ7. KM7AJM. Skipper, good morning to you. Good morning, Jack and everybody on the net. Well, we got the neighbors done, so now we're working on the big log pile we took from them. And ours, but we took Saturday off and drove out 530 and 20 out to Marble Mountain to visit our daughter who's working at a coffee stand out there while she waits for her next quarter of classes. She's going to school to be a pharmacy technician. So we had a nice Saturday, a nice drive out there, and yesterday we hit the log pile again, started cutting up logs and stacking rounds, and today we'll probably be out there splitting. Other than that, just enjoying this cooler weather, looking forward to having the nice weather this week and being able to get some work done. Hope everybody has a good week. KM7, KJM, back to you, Jack. Alright, never a dull moment around the back 40 apparently. That's great, well it's great to keep busy, that's for sure. Hey, on the log splitter, so do you have a solar log splitter, gas powered? Is it a gravity device? Just by what means are the logs split when you're doing the round? We've got a 37-ton log splitter with a four-way head, so it splits them up in a hurry. KM7, KJM, back to net. You have the greatest tools and devices out there, that is amazing, I've never even heard of that. Oh my goodness, where does one get something like that? Can you get one at Fred Meyer? No, we ordered it from Northern Tool, they shipped it up in pieces, but their shipping department wasn't very good. Their pallets came apart, luckily the shipping company picked up all the pieces, put it in three pallets, and I assembled it when I got here, but it's a fantastic splitter. Back to you, Jack. Oh, that is amazing, oh man, I bet those rounds they don't even have a chance, not even a chance. How would it do? Okay, one last crazy question, but you know, I do want to know these things because I think of them, right? So, hey, you got the person who knows or could answer the question on the line, why not ask them? So if you had something like, okay, Cherrywood, I know that's really Dancer Teague, things like that, I mean, again, no prob, right, 37 tons? Well Cherrywood, I use in the smoker, it's great in teak wood, it's good to make furniture and things like that out of, I wouldn't put either one in the wood stove. Back to you, Jack. Alright, well that's a good use of materials right there. Alright, yeah, that's great. Hey, thank you so much, you have a great day, have a great weekend, good to hear you on the morning net. Alright, Steve, W4CRQ, haven't heard from him for a while, he dropped by with an eye out, thank you sir. Let's continue on now, if you'd like to join us, 9.32 am, I'm Jack K, I7RMU for the 9 o'clock net, here on the PSRG repeater in Seattle. Come ahead now, call, sign and name.

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. KI7RYW, David, how are you?"},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T13:10:49+00:00","id":14754,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":14753,"text":" Hello Jack and hello everyone and thanks Jack for doing the Nune Net again. I forget exactly where we are but in the hundreds and a few years and thank you. So I did a tour this morning at Pike Place Market nice and cool, had guests from Houston and asked what brings you to the Pacific Northwest and they said it's cooler here so they were loving it too. And I'm going to be playing around with antennas and stuff this afternoon, loving my J-Pole for this 2 meter but I'm kind of working on a fan dipole. I've got a balcony that's 20 feet wide, south facing, 4th floor and I'm planning to put that out there probably on the other end of a duped duplexer so that I can use the one heavy duty 400 coax as a feed line and then run both of those antennas. I want to get into something with the lower frequency, the 6 or 10 for some distance so we'll see about that. Otherwise I've got a lot going on this afternoon but do have an opportunity to play some loud music like some others have mentioned, might be doing that. I'm looking to see if I can get a stream of what happened in Golden Gate Park over this last weekend. If the quality is not bad I might turn that up if I can find it. That's about it from Wallingford, KI7RYW. Alright, hey good luck with that fan dipole. Now I don't know what happened in the park in San Francisco, maybe you could fill us in real quick on that, but I do want to say this is new net 2080. Back to you David. On the 2080, great job. I've heard that some people say, what is it, most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years. So you've started to stack up the years here on this, that's a great contribution and of course widely appreciated obviously. As far as what happened in San Francisco over the weekend, it was a celebration of 60 years of the Grateful Dead. Someone mentioned blues based rock and roll and I know that the Grateful Dead covers a lot of different genres, including especially blues based rock and roll. John Mayer, although he was a pop star, also famously dropped out of Berklee School of Music in Boston so he could go down south and play the blues and he came up through actually working little clubs and then he became a big pop star. And then he got recruited to play guitar with Denton Company, what's left of the Grateful Dead. So his guitar is great, he's dead to me and as a band I hear much of it was great, some of it only good. But that's what's great in my experience with that band, the reliability over the decades has always been, yeah okay, hit or miss now and then you hit some misses. Sometimes things are a little weird but generally you're going to have a darn good rock and roll time if that's something that you can get into. So that happened, big three day thing at Golden Gate Park on the Polo Fields last weekend, I was not there of course but it was captured as so many of their shows have been over the decades and I'm kind of looking around online to see if it's available. Otherwise I'll put a record on, I've got some good ones of those too. That's it for me, KI7RYW. Alright David, you know for some reason I totally forgot that that was even going on because I did know it was going on and in fact the number of people who were pretty darn upset was a ticket price for the event $300. Yeah some people remember The Human Being and all those crazy shows they had way back in the day that were all free. Yes indeed, well you can't really do free anymore can you? So I guess, unless it's just a cushy guitar and your voice. Yeah it sounds like a pretty good show that's for sure. Well and I know that archive.org now they have the most Grateful Dead recordings of anybody anywhere that I know of and I thought it was 3000 recordings of live dead shows and I think apparently it's gone up since then the last time I looked so yeah if you want a good show or even one of the offbeat shows that they've done over the many many years they've been around. What's left of them, that's the place to go. Alright well anyway David have a great afternoon and thank you so much. 1257, glad to skipper there. KM7, JMSkipper, what's going on? Good morning Jack, can everybody on the net? Well I have to reprogram my radio somehow today I wiped it out completely so glad I have RT Systems to redo that. How's my audio coming? Does it sound ok? Yeah you're hitting all the receivers doing pretty good, there's a little ticky something, a little clicky type of thing but that could just be that you've just reprogrammed it I don't know but yeah continue on go ahead skipper. Well it stopped raining finally we got like 42 one hundredths of a inch of rain so I guess we're going to do inside chores today. I did take a walk this morning with cyclone in the rain through the woods that was kind of fun but other than that just have to do a little research and find out what the ticking is I'm not sure. Anyway that's all I got KM7, AJM back to Jack. Yeah just a little bit of a, it's interesting. Alright well anyway you know it's not a stop answer understanding every word you say. Glad you had a chance to get out with cyclone, glad you got some rain, glad to certainly welcome, I had a really nice time walking up to the Amazon box to pick up something that came in and it was in the rain and that felt really really nice. Nice to get out. Alright well let's continue on thank you so much skipper have a great afternoon. It's almost one o'clock we're a minute away 1259 I'm Jack KI7RMU on the PSRG noon net let's see who's out there if you'd like to join us come ahead call, sign and name."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-11T09:19:38+00:00","id":16146,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":16145,"text":" but you can hear me real quick. Yeah, you're sounding fantastic on RF, still in town. Okay, yeah, go ahead please. Alright, I was moving the antenna around the driveway here. Anyway, I took a bunch of photos yesterday and I failed to bring with me a SD card reader, so I will have to go through those on my flight back to Boston and then upload them at a later date when I can find my SD card reader somewhere in the house. I know it's over there, I just gotta hunt it down through all of the stuff over there. They will be coming eventually. I got some good shots of people hanging out. Rich standing over there with his fish net antenna. Dean showing up with the donuts. Got some good stuff. So, other than that, just a nice quiet morning here. Anna's still asleep actually. She's a sleeper in the morning. She likes sleeping. Other than that, just slowly getting ready, starting to pack my bags. Gonna be looking at flights either for tonight or tomorrow morning. So, that's all I got. Thanks for running the net, Jack. Lovely to see you and everyone else at the Rain or Shine yesterday. And I will throw it back to you, KJ7WQI. All right, man, have a good trip back and say good morning to Anna whenever she wakes up or maybe it'll be a good afternoon from me. That was so great to see the two of you. I can tell you were moving around pretty darn good for that camera and man, it looked like you got some great shots. Can not wait to see them. And of course, Dean with the parade oven presentation of the donuts. That is one shot I did not get. I really meant to get it on video. But anyway, all right, you take care of that and I hope you find that card reader. Yeah, that's not like finding your TV or something. Card readers, where is that stupid thing? Come on, come on. Good luck. All right, Matt, well, we'll see you. Yeah, John in there from Kamehameha Island. Sunny day up there. Let's go to Jim, K7PDZ. I'll bet the lake is like glass and you've already been out skiing. What do you think of that? Is that correct there, Jim? K7PDZ. Well, good morning, Jack. You are correct and incorrect. The lake is flat. No, that's the usual conundrum of no driver. The tail that I was skiing with, Sarah had to go back to work and she's to the point now, she's an administrator and their contract starts basically the first of August. So she's gotta be at her desk all week long. Wait till she gets back on Saturday, I guess. I don't know, I gotta start calling one of my friends because right now we got this stretch of really nice weather here. It was hot yesterday. Man, it's gonna be even hotter today over here. I know you guys have hot weather over there too. So we hit 89 yesterday here at the lake and it was in the 90s and it's supposed to be triple digits in a lot of places, like especially the Tri-Cities, so like Lee down there, WGN, might be having some really hot, hot weather down there. So it got so bad here yesterday, we had to come inside, we couldn't sit out anymore. Had to come into the air conditioning cabin. So yeah, we had to rough it over here. Okay, that's why we got Jack and his head to get on there and give you some action this morning so people can get up and get some coffee in them and start checking in. Anyway, back to you Jack. Oh yeah, I looked at all the pictures on Facebook and from the thing yesterday and it looks like you guys had a lot of fun there, a lot of people and almost as many as at the picnic. So anyway, that was cool and I enjoyed looking at the pictures. Seven T's everybody. This is Jim and Jane at their lake, A7 PTZ. All right, Jim, hey, by chance, did you happen to get a chance to see Madeline's posting of the two hour, nine o'clock net she did from Lake's Edge there? Oh yes, when I jumped into it, you were just, I said hi Jack, because you were in the picture. I know there's a little delay there, but not too much. So you might've been out of range by the time I said hi Jack. But yes, I definitely was watching that. K7, PTZ. Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, I got back into the picture right away and waved at you there. Hey, real quick, one more question. Now Sarah, of course, she's back at work so no boat driver today. However, if you had a self-driving module for the boat, so you had autonomous driving of the boat there, do you think you would trust that while you're skiing behind it? They did have some of those, somebody made one of those, or not made, but they were manufacturing something like that that was a remote control module that your rope went, you held onto the rope, but you were controlling the speed and everything of this blobby thing out in front of you, this kind of like a small jet ski. But I don't think they ever made it because they just didn't have enough power. So maybe that's a thing of the past, but anyway, I could maybe find a Tesla and try to get some of the Tesla controls onto the boat. How does that sound? Then we could figure out how the boat knows where the shore is and everything. It doesn't crash into it. Oh, Jack, that opens up somebody horrible thoughts, K7PZ. Yeah, the first one that came to my mind is you hook it all up and then, yeah, we'll say, well, it's nice knowing you, Jim. Oh, geez, oh, that's a terrible thought. Anyway, maybe just skip that crazy idea, but I'm sure somebody else will choose to do it. All right, anyway, Jim, you have a great day. To edit Jane in that, go find your driver. Let's see who else is available for the 9 a.m. Net 914, I'm Jack KI7R, mute, transmitted from Seattle here. If you'd like to join us, all I need is your name and call. K30E, good morning. K7FWB.

Well I'm just enjoying a lazy morning cycle and I took our daily walk through the woods this morning. Now I'm just enjoying my first cup of coffee. The day before yesterday we were having coffee. My wife was in the kitchen and she starts hollering and I'm, what is she hollering about? So I went and looked and our bobcat that lives in the woods was walking across her backyard. So that was pretty cool. Other than that I think we're just gonna do some yard work today and enjoy the cooler weather and see what else happens. KM7, AJM, back to net. All right, thank you Skipper. Well, we've had that happen. Haven't seen the bobcat in several years now I don't think. But we had one of us around here, some couple of times. Was really weird, looked out just like your wife did. Look out the back window and there's the bobcat walking across the yard. Very, very interesting. All right, thank you Skipper. Have a great day. KM7, TDZ, morning Jim. Well good morning there Bill and everybody out there today. We had interesting weather last evening. It was, there were scattered thunder showers all over the area and watching it on the radar and everything, all that fell's gonna nail us. Everything went around us. We had a lot of lightning that we could see and heard some thunder but it was that way off in the distance thunder. And then the power went out just long enough that I had to reset all the clocks. Now that didn't have backup batteries. So that's the frustrating part of it. But anyway, we're supposed to have the same thing tonight. Although it is 81 degrees here, it's still hot. And so it's already 81. And it's kinda windy out there again, which is the bad part because then we get the fire to aneur too which increases. So this morning though the lake was really flat. But if it's that way tomorrow we're gonna get a water ski in. So anyway, that's all that's going on here. I'm just gonna finish up my smoke detector installation. Today we're changing everything. As we discussed, you have to change all the wiring harnesses because they just cannot keep that constant. The base, oh the base is matched perfectly. They're just the same base but you just have to change the wiring harness which is a bane. Anyway, that's just going on here. Everybody have a good one 73 South. This is Jim and Jane at Deer Lake G7. Be easy. All right, thank you Jim. Jim and Jane in Deer Lake. Well, I like dramatic weather. Sounds like you have got dramatic weather. We sure don't. I just looked at the forecast. We're forecast at a high of 78 today. That's a whole three degrees cooler than yesterday. And then the rest of this week is pretty much the same. Mid to upper seventies all week long. That's nice. Not complaining. Except it would be nice to have some rain.

KM7BDO, thank you for your I-O, appreciate that, have a great week and stay cool, whatever you do. Let's get right back to K3-OE. Rich, I tell you, people are really wondering what the heck you were doing walking around with that big fishing net. Maybe you can explain that for us. Jack, I guess the first thing is, I just had to do something silly. It was just so much fun to do that project. It was fast and simple and it worked. Anyway, of course I had to bring it because I just thought, we're close to the water and all that and I said, yeah, I gotta go fishing for signals. Anyway, and it worked. That's the main thing. Jack, the antenna lab was closed last night. I was so tuckered out that I just was not up to doing anything else last night. Yeah, the lab should be open again this evening. And, Jack, I tell you what, I've never thought about getting my reciprocating saw out and, yeah, whittling down my furniture. Boy, I don't know if I'd be up to that. Back to you, K3-OE. Well, you know, I was thinking about that and some of the goos is, yeah, I got my reciprocating saw and cut up the sectional, the half of it or whatever part that he cut up into eight big pieces. How the heck did they get the thing into the living room? I was kind of wondering that. What about you? Jack, that is always the puzzle. I'll have to admit, there are pieces of furniture in the house here that I kind of wonder how they got in here. So, yeah, that's one of those puzzles of the day. Back to you, K3-OE. Yeah, it's like, and I think this cannot be a unique case. The guy builds his boat in his backyard and then realizes when it's all done, hey, wait, I can't get the boat out of the backyard and they have to bring a big crane in and lift it up over the house. I don't know, maybe they did that with a sectional. Finish the house after they get the sectional in. Anyway, great to see you, Rich, and I hope Polo's okay. Man, I'm not sure who's running who harder, me or him, but that was really fun to go back and forth there in the park with him. We're having a good time. All right, talk to you later, Rich. Let's go talk to Skipper, Skipper Howard, thanks, today. Go ahead, please. Okay, I'm 7-A, I'm Skipper here. Pretty good, just enjoying the nice weather and using a different radio. My ASU-991 quit, so I've got to send it back to the factory. I took my ICOM ID5100 out of my Jeep and now it's in the shack, but it's all good. Hopefully they'll fix it and get it back to me. It should be under warranty. I've had it just less than a year, but it's been a long time. Other than that, just mowed the lawn yesterday. That took about five or six hours and I don't know, it might just stay out of the sun today. Hope everybody has a great day. KM7, AJM, back to Jack. Glad always amazed me when you give us the lawn mowing report, haven't taken half a day to do it. Wow, that's a lot of lawn. Hey, what back is wrong with the 9918? I mean, I don't know if you were able to determine what it was. I mean, it doesn't work, so yeah, send it in. But any idea what caused it? I don't know what caused it. I had on the triple nickel stem plex, I had some reports of a little bit of noise on my signal, but usually on the nets I didn't. So I would second for interference or loose connections on the mic, make sure everything was grounded, nothing in the shack interfering. So I have a feeling the front end of the thing fried the main board. I don't know, but it should be under warranty. If not, I'll find a different radio. Back to you, Jack. KM7, AJM. Alright, well good luck with that. Yeah, let us know the outcome once it comes back into circulation when you're there. Well, and like most of us, hey, you don't have one radio? Oh, this one's not working. Let me grab this one over here. Oh, let me grab DHT, let me grab the one out of the Jeep, you know. So you're always good to go. And you always have EchoLink and All-Star as alternatives as well. Alright, Skipper, well hey, you stay out of the sun today, would you please maybe just take a little day off? How about that? It's okay with me. Let's go talk to Bill, KEG7FWB. Great to see you, Bill. What a great time we had yesterday at Green Lake. How are you? Well, hi, Jack. Just got back from having the sweetest pancakes at Pete's over on 77th, and that was good. Yeah, I just saw all the pictures that were put up, and yeah, it was a fun time seeing everybody. I got there a little after nine, but I had a couple other things I had to do in the afternoon. So fun seeing everybody, fun talking to John there, W-O-I. And playing with the dogs, watching John on a guitar, JSM, seeing how he's progressed. So that was kind of fun. So, looking forward to the next one. Back to you, KEG7FWB. Well, hold on a second there, cowboy. I saw you wielding the Ibanez. What'd you think? Did he have it tuned up right? Of course he did. And did you enjoy that guitar? Uh, yeah, I got a little tuner on there, and he tuned it up, so it was fine. It was hard for me because it's steel strings, and they're real thin, and they cut into my fingers. So the nylons don't. They just kind of, over 67 years, dent in the nerves at the end of your fingers. But it was a nice guitar. I think it was his first one. But it'll be interesting to see some of the other electric guitars in time. Back to you. Alright, Bill. Yeah, I didn't even realize that he had a steel string, or it was spun up with steel strings, okay? Yeah, well if you don't have the calluses, that can be painful. Alright, well you take care of those fingertips, and we'll talk to you soon there, Bill. Great to have you come out yesterday. Well, speaking of great to have you coming out yesterday, I tell you, John, KEG7W, oh, everybody who had never met you were just jumping up and down, going, that's John. Wow, fantastic. And just racing over to talk to you. How are you doing? Nice to have you and Bill, KC5WFH join us at the Rainier Shine Net. How are you? Go ahead, John. Well, good morning, Jack, and good morning to the net. KEG7W, oh, I am Paul's boat. Yeah, that was a wonderful event. You know, I've never belonged to such a wonderful group of people. It's just fascinating to meet old ones and new ones I've never met. It's just a fun day, and ice cream was good. I had a s'mores, ice cream bar, delicious. And the golden guy picked me up an apple fritter, she goes, thank you for that. It was a wonderful afternoon. Boy, when I got home, I was one tuckered puppy. This old Norwegian, he just dropped in his chair here in Little Norway and took a big rest when he got home. But thanks for all you do, Jack, and putting these events on. It was, again, fantastic, and I'm looking forward to the next one already. So, Bill and I both enjoyed it. And that's about it for me. I got a little longer to do today and a bunch of domestic stuff around the house here, so I've got to get moving here pretty quick. Have a wonderful day. Enjoy it. It's going to be a warm KEG7WOI-73. Alright, well once again, John, just fantastic to see you. That just made everybody's day so much fun. Hey, real quick, Bill, he checked in right before you, KEG7FWB, and he mentioned Swedish pancakes, those little powdered sugar delights all rolled up. So, in Norway, do you know if they have Swedish pancakes or do they call them something else, maybe? I don't know."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-24T12:21:44+00:00","id":23598,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":23597,"text":" KM7, AJM Skipper here.
