In the meantime, we're going to go to the KN4LBF. J, what have you repaired or restored that you think you did a pretty good job on? It's over to you, D. This is KC2PKG. This is KN4LBF. This is D. It was something very simple, but I am proud of it. When my parents died, they had this Asian 3D face made of porcelain. It's about two feet long and one feet wide. And I'm looking at it. And through the years, it's about 75 years old right now, it looked like it needed a little uplift. So the figure on top hat is a female, and it had a crown on top of her head. And I repainted the crown gold and just her sleeve gold. And the retouch was amazing. It just made an amazing improvement how it looked. And I'm just looking at it right now. And I'm pretty proud of it. Back to you, Gray. This is KN4LBF. KN4LBF. This is KC2PKG. Porcelain. Have you repaired or restored porcelain? That sounds very hard. It really does. And the fact that you painted it and you're proud of it, that's great. That is great news. Josh, PJ5IRQ, what's something that you either repaired or restored that you're particularly proud of the job you did? This is KC2PKG. Open to you, Josh. PJ5IRQ. KC2PKG. This is KJ5 on cue. Something I would have had that I'm particularly proud of, oh, gosh, I remodeled a house before. That was pretty cool. I'd say I remodeled houses around here. And the houses are houses, I should especially clarify that. I've repaired a lot of things. KitchenAid. My wife loves the KitchenAid mixer. And all year after we bought our, I think it was our second one, it went out like the first one. I was getting really frustrated with it. So I did some digging around. And it's the brushings. I don't know why I didn't think about that with the first one. I fell a fool because I threw the first one away for like $20. I got to replace the brushings and kept the first one. I replaced the KitchenAid with some good brushings. And gosh, it's been years. And it's still working just fine. She uses it all the time. That was personally a good fix. KitchenAid mixes, you know the cream and galakop, at least that's what I was really concerned. There ain't no point in paying more money than that for something that does the same thing. Let's see. I do have a project coming up. As soon as it starts cooling off into the fall, rather I want to be outside all day every day. We have an old family bench. Joseph E. Ford built this bench. Not that y'all would know him, but he happened to be one of the first people in the Middle of Wales to open the store. And she's got to give you an idea how old this bench is. I have an actual picture of him in this last sitting on it. It is 1888. It's over the rock. It was my grandparents, of course. It got passed down to me. And it's an old, bad shape. I mean, it is a bad shape. But we're going to look into repairing it. I want to keep it as original as possible with as much wood as possible. So I may end up using clear epoxy or something to fill in some voids. But the idea is to bring it back to a shade of a swirly void. I can't tell you how many seeds of the fence people in my family have sat in that bench over the years. I mean, if some of them could tell a story, wouldn't you love to sit and have that word pour out the stories since, at least in my family since the late 1880s? Man, talk about an explosion of lighting ideas. Anyhow, yeah, so that's coming up. That bench, I'm really excited about it. The only thing I don't know is who gets it after me. I've got two boys and a daughter. And it's always stayed with somebody with a last name before it. So I'm sure it will stay with my boys. And I sure it won. And so I'm going to see who ends up at the house in a safe place for it. And that's probably who will get it. Sorry, I had to reset for a second. I was running out of time. Anyhow, that's it. I'll send it back to you, KJ5. I'll help you back to KG2PKG. KJ5 IRQ, this is KG2PKG. A bench, a family bench. That sounds cool. That sounds cool. I'd love to see a picture of that. KI7ODD, I see you in the text box. You want to give it a shot now? Tell us how your weekend was. Maybe tell us about something you restored or repaired that you're particularly proud of. Over to you, KI7ODD. This is KG2PKG. This is better now. This is KI7ODD. KI2KC2PKG. I actually am thinking, let me think. Oh, yeah. I restored stuff before that. My squeaky here is my fan. It just squeaks, squeaks, squeaks. So don't worry about that. I should have read this text thing. Ah, never again. All right, I hope my audio's better. I'm sorry about earlier. It was my rig. I need a new one. I need a new rig. Gosh darn it. All right. What I did yesterday was I was thinking about beading, playing with my, getting my crafting done. I did some sewing last weekend, but this weekend I am going to go on and be at the Idaho State Convention for ham radio this year, which is going to be awesome. I hope I get the 7800 icon. I hope I get it. Just hopefully I can get it this time. I don't, I don't. I can't, I couldn't even sleep last night. Sorry about that interference earlier. All right, have a good day guys and gals. Okay, this is KI 7 ODD, Murray in Spokane, Washington. KI 7 ODD, I'm Murray. That's pretty good. That's pretty good. That, your audio sounded fine. That time it was perfect going through there. So I've got you on the list. We'll be hitting you again. And Steve, N0BF, I've got you on the list too. We're just going to keep working down the way we're doing it. DA 4 HO. Ron, is there something that you repaired that you are particularly proud of? So what do you do? A4 HO, this is KC 2. Yeah, you know, you might remember me talking about, you know, when I redid the bathroom and the shower, I put caulking and you're supposed to put silicone on it, and I put silicone on it. And I put silicone on it. And I put silicone on it. And I put silicone on it. And I put silicone on it. And I put silicone on it. And I'm supposed to put silicone. And then I, you know, when it started leaking underneath, I had to get all of that out and redo it and put silicone in there. But that's really nice. You know, I got granite top on the, you know, the sink, new sink and toilet, completely new shower. And it's really nice. I did the water heater and the copper pipe I had left over, I made myself a UHF antenna that I use with my All Star Network. Whenever I'm on my mobile rig or HT and I'm on All Star, the signal goes through the antenna before you hear me on here if I was to do that. And I got one of those nano-VNA's to make sure, you know, it was resonant at the right frequency. That I needed it at. All kinds of things. The vehicle I drive now is new. The one before that, even though this was an upgrade, it had all of the features because I put in a lot of aftermarket stuff. The GPS I added and a whole mess of things. The side rails to step into it. Of that I do, but I didn't have to do that with this last vehicle I just bought. You know, because it came with it all. But I did install and put the automatic garage door opener in. And that I'm pretty proud of. It works really good. Now I just drive up to the house and I don't even go out the front door anymore when I take the car. You know, it's in and out through the garage. The door opens, pull the car in, door goes down, come in through the garage now. If I think about it, there's a lot of stuff. Except for the stuff, you know, I don't have the tools for it. I have to pay somebody to do it. AA4HO, Ron Nirma, Florida, back to you, Gray and Nick. AA4HO, this is KC2PKG. And it is all the something with the house. You know, I lived in a house in Morristown for 30 years. And I can't tell you how many weekends I spent either under the car or working on the house or cleaning up that yard. It was just endless, endless. I'm so glad to be out of that. Because I don't like any of that stuff. As it turns out, it's kind of fun to create things. It's kind of fun to repair places. But when you're doing it in all your free time, I built a car there. An Aztec 7 from FiberFab, which goes on a Volkswagen chassis. And that would best two years of my life. I'm never going to get back. I went to sleep, because it's fiberglass, I went to sleep crunchy every night. It was just terrible. My wife hated it. Alright, KN6UYZ. What have you repaired or restored that you're particularly proud of? Okay, John, this is KC2PKG. Over to you. KN6UYZ, thanks so much for having me as usual. Yeah, you know, in 1970 I bought a Corvette. And, you know, come around 1974 or 5, the car needed a great job. And so I decided to take care of it myself. And jacked up each tire individually at the house. And decided I'd grab a screwdriver and place it between the calipers and the rotors and pry the brakes apart so I could insert a new pad on all four wheels. Well, that worked great. Good job. Padded myself on the back. I took off in that car and next thing I know, I know, the brakes were pushing all the way to the floor. I had to have that car towed back to the dealership and it cost me $1500 in 1975 to have that brake job done properly. Apparently you're supposed to relieve the pressure in the system, in the brake fluid system because I didn't do that before pulling everything apart and losing the, and I blew the seals and all the pistons. And this is a dual caliper system. And it was very expensive. I don't know what $1500 in today's money might be, but it was a problem. So with the exception of not being proud about my brake job, yeah, that's one of my better jobs. Back in that K and 6 UYZ. K and 6 UYZ. Boy, that brought back memories. This is KC2, PKG. I used to always do my own brakes and all of that stuff. And what it leads to is you're driving down the highway two states away from your house and you're thinking to yourself, did I put that spring back in? In the left rear tire? Did I put that spring in? Those were my thoughts after working on my car almost every single time. I was like, I don't remember. And of course, the first brake takes three hours. And the second one takes two hours. Third one, you know, takes about an hour and a half and the fourth one is over so fast you can't remember if you put the spring in or not. It just gets better and better as you go around. Alright, AA-4HI. Chuck, what have you restored or repaired that you are particularly proud of? It's over to you Chuck, AA-4HI. This is KC2, PKG. This is repeater station key low. We had some heads up and some chairs and last night I had to figure that out. And it took a long time. A lot of winter to get on the fingers. It's just about all done. And I want to do it again now. I can understand why people charge so much to do it. You know, time and of course it's just too easy to work. But, um, you have to wear your guns, you know. It just takes a while to do things. Yeah, it is. Anything you're rushing through sometimes it's just not going to be the way you expected it. So, um, anyway, same with the old antennas I like to try out, to build. I mean, you just have to think about it, give it a shot. If not, repurpose it. But, uh, the chairs I think are the best thing where you're wrong. So, what I've done in handling them, they took a long time. They done, throughout the summer just working on them. You know, when she was out. So, uh, anyway, that would be it. Back on to you, AA4-HI. AA4-HI, this is KC2-PKG, Wicker work. That's weaving, weaving with Wicker. That is a big job, especially if you've never done it before. Because you have to figure out what the pattern is. And then kind of trace it back. And a lot of those things, as I remember, the Wicker is fastened with a wooden peg. You know, it goes in, you put the Wicker in the hole and then you pound it in a little piece of wood to hold it there. Yours may work differently, but the ones that I worked on, that's what you had to do. And you had to get that peg out first. Um, it's not specialized, but it is trying. It's very trying, I think. MM0RKN, Gary, when you repaired or restored, you think you did a pretty good job on. It's KC2-PKG over to MM0RKN. MM0RKN returning. Well, Gary, very frequently, I have to repair and restore Lego figures that have broken various Lego models. Cabs, trucks, DAF, radar, all sorts. So quite good at fixing those when they've been knocked over or accidentally dropped. So frequently, do not a bad job of getting them back together. But on another note, I really enjoy restoring Kenny Oak furniture. One thing that I did was an ottoman, many years ago, not enough. But it was one of these ottomans that would store, you know, bed sheets and that could be at the end of the bed. And it was very old, and it seemed better days, but I actually managed to sand it all down, repainted it all, then put a nice kind of fabric, soft cushion on top, and managed to turn that into a sort of storage box come window seat. So that was one of my things that I was quite pleased about in the past. But recently, not so much time really to do a lot of repairing and restoring. I was going to put it in front of my son's PC. He said that I had to play one of his games, and I couldn't get it fixed, so I basically had to do a complete refresh of his laptop. I think he's overloaded it with too many DLCs. So we're going to go back to the start again. So yeah, I'm repairing that. Hopefully I'll do a good job. MM0RK in. Back to you there, Gray in the net. MM0RK in. This is KC2PKG. That's what I used to do for a living. Put people's workstations back together. After they just put something dumb on it, or they had a problem of some kind or another, reallocating memory, and all of that stuff. I'm glad I don't do that anymore. I really am. Alright. Bill, N9OFU, what have you repaired or restored? Do you think you did a pretty good job on it? Over to you, Bill. N9OFU. This is KC2PKG. Alright, I've been trying to think, trying to think, trying to think. And most of the things I'm coming up with is just, you know, things I've put together, you know, like furniture, you know. I love Ikea. Some of that's been pretty intricate when you get into some of these. I'm trying to think. Like the, well the cabinets, I don't know if the cabinets, but the drawers and stuff. Getting all that lined up properly and put together when it's got, you know, two or three different sections, an open section. I'm trying to remember, I know I've done my repairs or in battle. It always seems like something needs to be fixed, put together, or repaired at the house. But nothing really stands out that I really floated over. It's just, you know, it needs to be fixed to fix it. And that's all I can think of at this time. Sorry, I'm just not coming up with anything. Alright, N9OSU. Not to worry about it. KC2, PKG. Bringing that Ikea stuff together, I found one of the neatest tricks was to take the Allen wrench that they give you and saw it off, saw the curved part off, the bend in it off, and then put it in a drill or a driver. And then things go much faster. I'm turning that little Allen wrench. Alright, KM4QBC. You do a lot of repair and restoration, Jeff. Council, what's one project, or two if you want, that you're particularly proud of, that you really think you did a great job? It's over to you. KM4QBC. This is KC2, PKG. KC2, PKG, KM4QBC. Well, great. One thing that came to mind, my wife and I both worked on this, like Josh was talking. My grandpa's old house was a really neat place for me to hang out. I had a CB radio in there. That's before I got into ham radio. Anyway, long story short, the old house was just a plank-mored house, you know, back in the mountains. And a big tree fell right through the middle of it, so we salvaged what we could out of it. And I got all the windows and doors. And my wife and I, I still got a bunch of windows that are the way of the house when I first got them, but we sanded these window panes down into the old six panes. They got six panes in them, and you know, the glazing and all that. So we redid those and repainted them, and we put pictures of our family in there and hung them on the wall. So we're really proud of those, and it's really a special thing. Plus our Volkswagens. My son and I are working on an old bug now, so pretty proud of that one. That's you, Gray. That's a couple. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November-November. I thought you were led with the Volkswagens. Is that the one you're working on now? Is it the black bug? Back to you just for a second here. KN4QBC. The black one was actually done by somebody else, but you know, a Volkswagen's clear there's always something in there to work on. So, excuse me, we have done a little work on the motor, done a little work on the interior. Used to touch it up to make it a little better than it was, you know. So the next thing I'm going to do is just a little more work on the motor. I'm thinking I'm going to put a new carburetor on there and probably a new Kilo. So, just to make it a little sharper, because I'm going to start driving it to work this time of year, when hopefully it starts to cool down. And next month or so, after August anyway, I'll be driving it to work in the day and in the night. Can't drive that thing in the summertime, it's just so hot. You can drive it in the evening some, but it's just so hot here in the summer. It's hard to drive in that time of year, but it's fun at certain times, but when it gets up at about night and you're in that thing, you're like being in a sauna, I guess. You can't wear the work clothes down the road and be all sweaty and going into work there. Anyway, back to you, KN4QBC. KN4QBC, Volkswagen repair guy. It's good. I think Volkswagens are really cool. And I could kick myself for when I finally ended up in a car that I didn't have a Volkswagen van. I mean, they're the coolest. They really are. And I think back on that time I was thinking, oh man, I went out of the hotel room. Wherever I went, you know, I didn't need to sleep inside, I could sleep in a car. Which is a fun thing when you're a kid to do. Maybe not so much now. Any of YQJ, Ralph, are you out there? We're asking people what is a project that they've worked on where they restored or repaired something and they're particularly proud of it. Ralph, hey, YQJ, over to you."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T05:44:13+00:00","id":14503,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":14502,"text":" where technology is going to lead.

You didn't hear Scooter barking this morning, because I get up at 4 o'clock every morning and go to work. So he's on my schedule. I am in charge of all medicine and all feeding. And that way, we don't get confused in the household. We don't need a checklist or anything. So yeah, with me getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning and feeding him around 4 10, 4 15, he's got his biological clock going. And he woke me up. And right now, he's sitting there. And I can't tell if he's sleeping. There's a new thing going on. And he's hard of hearing. And his eyesight's not good. And he's really old. So I don't know, because he's going to be 18. I don't know if he's actually sleeping or resting. But sometimes we think he sleeps with his eyes open now. So we're not sure. But he's laying there. His eye is open.

No, no. I'm just going to go head out and do a couple of things around the house. It's not too hot out here. It's like a little below 90 right now. It's going to hit a little over 90 later. So I'm about to get some stuff now. There's a space between my fence and another person's fence. And a lot of weed is growing in this small space. And I want to get a weed chopper back there and get it done and spray some stuff or keep it under control. So that's what I'm thinking about doing today. Maybe more, maybe tomorrow. I don't know. Anyway, 73s and clear. Back to the net. All right, KN4LBF KM1X, you have a great weekend. Now we'll go to Ben. VE3FDX. Final comments from you today, sir. KM1X versus VE3FDX. Just thanks for doing the net, kid. It's been a great day. The depression was amazing. And hopefully I'll be back and see everybody tomorrow. Sounds good. I think that the Sunday, Gray is right, the Sunday nets are so informal and relaxed that you can come, talk for a couple minutes, leave, or stay for the whole thing or whatever. It's very relaxed. And I kind of like that. N9, OSU, Bill. Your turn. Final comments. All right, thank you, sir. And just getting ready to start the day here. Sort of eating. But I did clean up all the poop in the backyard. And now I'm cleaning up myself. So I will say 73, catch everybody out here, tomorrow morning on the cloud above my net. And this is N9, OP, saying so long. All right. If there's water, I can't see. How many years? Turn us around. All right. OK, OK, OK. Let's see, who's next? Who is now Ms. Kateri? Alpha Echo 7, Mike Romeo. Final comments, Terry. Alpha Echo 7, Mike Romeo. Where a JKL, if he was his own match as a young lady, I was married to her, he wouldn't be here. I can guarantee you. She was cooking, and she put her hand in the knife for her. I had to risk that and tweak her on the feathers. I walked by her, and one of the brothers I walked by her, when I looked down, there was a shirt track in my belly. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, yeah. You wouldn't have messed around with that Cha Cha Jerky girl, I'll tell you that. That's what that girl was. She is and was a good kid. But when they don't trust you, they got to turn them loose. Anyway, not a lot else going on here. I think it looks like we might actually be on our house in the sunshine. Looks like it's going to be 87 degrees by 5 o'clock today. And the rains are still in the Oregon area. Hopefully we don't have any there. Oh, that's another thing. The fallout in Oak Ridge is almost contained. I think it was probably started by the railroad 87MR back to the group. Have a great radio day. 87MR out. 87MR KM1X, you have yourself a great day too, Terry. Thank you for joining us this morning. And now we'll go down to WA6 ABC for final comments. KM1X from WA6 ABC. Well, thank you for including me in on today's festivities. Appreciate it. Glad I got in at the end. And nice hearing from the people that I did hear from. And always lovely. Always lovely whenever I come. So nice to hear everybody. And I guess we'll just close it down there. Going to take care of some cats. I got to jump in the shower. Got done with my work. Got a few bits of paperwork to handle here. Should be an OK day. Thanks very much. Off to work.

Usually lazy means we snack and watch cartoons all day. Alright, that's about it. I don't have much more going on on this lazy Sunday. I'm going to pass it over to Bill. Y'all have a great Sunday.

You know in my management career I ran strings of programmers and strings of developers too. And it was the hardest thing in the world to get them to put indicators in the software that something was actually working. And we were doing, we built an electronic software distribution system that could rebuild your computer in the time it took you to go to lunch. So no matter what you did to it, somebody would come by and go oh this is messed up let's rebuild it. And they would do that. But they didn't build indicators in to say this is what's going on now or something is actually happening. And I think it took me a year to talk them into putting in a progress bar and messages on the screen saying I'm doing this now. So you felt like something was going on. Because a lot of times you turn it on, the screen would go black and you couldn't tell what was going on. People were like well turn it off, something's wrong, something's wrong. And we had all sorts of problems with that. But we finally got them to do it. And I wonder if that's the same kind of thing. It's not enough to have it happen. You got to let somebody know it's happening. All right let's see. KJ5 IRQ, how do you feel about that? KJ5 IRQ bars, progress bars, messages that are pithy and yet informational.

Yeah, they gave me two trips. So today we're heading down to Colorado, then a quick stop in Springfield and then go to Colorado for two stops in Grand Junction, come back and then they want us to go to Arizona, Nevada and California. So I'm trying to figure out if I want to accept that one or not. But I think it will work out because if my student decides that he wants to take some time off, he can jump off the truck, take some time off once we figure out what's going on with his other situation. So it will be interesting. But I will say 73 Kitch, we're down here tomorrow with V1UKZ and I got some more paperwork to do. So sign off. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven. All right, thanks for joining us, Bill. N9OSU, all the ones that have you and get through that paperwork. Good for you. Good for you. All right, we're moving right along here. Bentley, DE3FBX. Final thoughts, Bentley. It's the 73 round and it's going to you. DE3FBX. Thanks, Ray. Great, Nat. Love the questions. Love the talk. It's great to hear other opinions.

I actually did have one 30 minutes before the net started this morning. So approximately one hour and seven minutes ago I did have not one like the other day. Well I didn't show all you guys the picture of what I had the other day but I did send it to a couple of you guys. Needless to say it was very cone shaped and it was very large. But the one this morning wasn't nearly as large as that but it was still pretty potent. So yeah I'm still maintaining that it's a different thing to tell. Right? It really is. I've been smoking it for a lot of years so it is probably a difficult thing. But we shall see. Alright after Doug we've got Bill. Oh I said your old call sign Bill if you can imagine that.

We kind of got away from the list there. So let's go to Bill, N9OSU. Bill, it's all you, man. All right, let's test it. OK, looks good. Good hour and shower. Thanks, guys, for taking a moment to find out about the radios. I was going to get the photo on the shoulder.

I'm down at the museum, as usual for a Monday. And it is raining, and I keep seeing people walking in from their cars, and they're staggering left and right and left and right as they're walking. And it's not the earthquake or some effect like this here. It's that time of year in Seattle when it rains, we dodge the raindrops. You should see a 737 doing that. It's amazing. Anyway, I've got nothing else a day. I had band rehearsal tonight and my most exciting thing is I've been making some new reeds. I play oboe and for those of you, it's one of the rare instruments where you have to take knives and string and tie a cane on a little brass tube and scrape it and make your own reeds. So that's one thing I've been doing recently. Where the rare instrument that can normally take something on stage with you because we're always fussing at reeds, it's our excuse at least.

Thank you, Alan. Okay, we'll find out maybe Monday because he's doing job interviews. He used ... What do you call it? AI. He used AI to quiz him on his job like an interview and he actually used ... Well, they didn't use but they asked questions that AI came up with for Dan to use. AI helped him with his job interview and he made it to the second round so it will be finding out more from him someday in the future. With that, we go down to Greg, KC2PKG. Go ahead. N9OSU, this is KC2PKG, and the brain trust has done it once again, I'm pretty sure. That reflecting top, I bet if that had come off that the birds wouldn't have blackened as much as they did, or darkened, they weren't really black, they were just darkened. But it is definitely adjustable, I was adjusting it yesterday, turning it up and down and doing all sorts of stuff with it. So to date, I have not run at full blast on anything. But that was the brilliant comment about there's a mesh top for it. It's kind of a heat reflector. And I think that's going to be the absolute key. I do want to say that before people hook up to the dew drop in, you really got to check with Darrell, the system manager. And so to let him know that you want to do that, And then he knows what's hooked up to the dew drop in. So as long as you work it out with him, I don't think you have a problem. And to KFAs, DRJ, that email, I will send you one. But it's basically gonna say, when would you like to do it? Would you like to try it out on Sunday? And that could be this Sunday, because that's a free-form net. And we're looking for somebody to do Sundays. And that may not fit in your schedule. But that's all that email was going to say. I'm going to be thrilled to have you on board. So there you go. And with that, I'll pass it back to N9-OFU, the admiral. This is KC2-PKG.
