This is Bill, KN4CWC, Capitol Hill Seattle. So it occurred to me the other day because I'm working on a little project to bridge Discord, a voice chat and text chat app that was originally designed for gamers and is now just used by all sorts of people. Anyway, I'm working on a project to bridge that into the phone system. I operate a Discord chat with some friends and also a phone system. So I'm working on a project to bridge those two together. And it occurred to me that I could technically, although whether doing this would be legal, feasible, or even a good idea is an exercise best left to the reader, but it occurred to me that I could bridge using the same technology Discord to the ham radio using All Star because my system uses SIP, Session Initiation Protocol, which is a standard for connecting various telephone systems and Internet systems and things together. But All Star also supports it for connecting telephone auto patches. So I could connect my Discord auto patch into All Star, just a completely and totally ridiculous idea that I thought perhaps some people on the net might appreciate."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-03T21:45:31+00:00","id":31615,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":31614,"text":" Well, happy birthday there Annie and Megan says happy birthday again over here from the other side of the desk.

Hello, Megan. Hello, all. This is Bill, KN4CWC on Capitol Hill in Seattle. So today is a little bit of an interesting check-in. A few months ago, weeks ago now, I don't remember time, liquid time ever since the pandemic, honestly. Time has just kind of moved slowly and quickly at the same time. But I played in a Dungeons & Dragons game, and my character was a radio operator that did kind of magical fox hunting things. It was a fun character to play. And Catherine, who's sitting here, was very curious about what actual ham radio is all about. So I wanted to show her the 9 o'clock net and thought I'd check in with her and say hello, Catherine. Hi, hi, everyone. Thanks, Bill, for inviting me. Really cool to hear everybody's voices. Yeah, so I wanted to give her a sense of what's actually going on out there on the air and just kind of how nets work and how radio works and all the cool things. And I think it's been interesting for her and certainly interesting for me. And just wanted to say hello and expose new people. Who knows, maybe she'll end up getting licensed or something.

Hello, all. This is Bill, KN4CWC. First and foremost, to answer your question, Anne, it's funny you're asking me because it's a long story, but I have had not a whole lot of formal O&M. I've lived in places where navigating as a blind person is hard to do. And so living here in Seattle is really one of the first places that I'm able to get around on my own really effectively, and it's been great. But what I will say, so to answer your first question first, have I been formally taught this? I don't think so. But what I tend to do in buildings like hotels or to find exits, things like that, I will listen for the elevator. You'll hear the doors open and close, and people will enter and exit the elevators, and that's kind of a good cue. Oftentimes, but not always, the stairwell entrance is either next to or more often across from the elevator. So that's kind of a good heuristic, I guess, in terms of what I do to find stairwells. But really, kind of in the absence of anything, just ask, I think is kind of my general way of being there."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-22T21:05:38+00:00","id":66755,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":66754,"text":" Thank you Tony, KB5 TWG I've got your I.O.

I don't know what to say there. But yeah, save up there, Shawn, and always watch for sales on computers.
