We had CBs on every tractor, every truck, and a couple at the house that we used to, for actually work. But it turned into a, like a, CB radio back then was like a little social network.

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.

Uh, the worst thing about this is because when I get Shadow in, it's all well and good, right? But then when I'm trying to get Dewey in, Shadow's trying to get back out. So the whole time I'm calling Dewey, I'm like, like trying to fight off a predator on the inside of the door here, right? He's like trying to climb me, he's trying to jump over my shoulder, he's jumping up on the counters. He's like doing everything he can to find a little inch to squeeze out. And that's where it gets frustrating, because trying to hold him in when he wants out is near on impossible. But other than that, Kevin, I won't keep it down too long, man. Um, I am here, and should be here, because I'm not tired, so, um, I got plenty of sleep. I was actually awake about an hour before the net started this morning, so, um, and I woke up and everything was still connected, which is great, because I did it before bed last night, and, uh, everything stayed up. So, we're still having a minor, let me reset one more time. We're still having some minor internet issues up here. It's very sporadic now, um, but it is still happening. I did notice that wonky behavior last night with the All-Star Note again, with the repeater kept disconnecting, everything kept disconnecting, so, I don't know. It's on my parents right now, anyway. I was talking to my old man about it last night, and he's been experiencing some issues, too, so, um, we're ever so closer to calling the company. You wouldn't think that would be so difficult, but with my parents, oh, man, it's difficult. Um, I'll be here, V01UKZ with the cowabunga net. V01UKZ, KM1X, well, glad to hear you got a good night's sleep, and, uh, sounds like it's gonna be a great day weather-wise, at least here, and I'm sure over there, because we've had great weather the last few days, so I would think our weather is making its way over to you. And so, uh, a good day to, uh, be well-rested, I think, um, and if you can get that bike fixed, um, it's certainly gonna be a great day to be out and about. I know that, uh, I, uh, I'm gonna be busy inside making spaghetti sauce today, and you were talking about your technical issues. My, uh, local 2-meter repeater has been, for the better part of the last month, we've had some, uh, Alpha Hotel who has been, uh, basically jamming. It started out there is a, uh, a weekly net on Sunday evenings, and this person started out by jamming that net. And now it's he or she has, uh, taken to just, throughout the day, uh, doing jamming, either just, you know, kurchunking non-stop, or once they hear people talking, uh, they'll just, uh, start playing music. I don't even know how they're doing this. But you would think that since it's been going on, I mean, sometimes they'll just shut the whole repeater down so that no one, including the jammer, can get on it, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Um, and other than, you know, trying to do a little fox hunt, um, which is gonna take a lot of resources, I think, I don't know how they're gonna get, catch this guy, to be honest with you. Um, but hopefully, uh, it won't last much longer, because it's getting to be a bit of a pain. So, I understand what you're going through there, Jarrell, with the stuff that you're working with to try to get the system, you know, running properly. And we thank you for your service. Alright, let's go to Kevin, VA3, KKY. Kevin, what's going on, brother? Uh, you got a big weekend plans? Uh, and, uh, Wendell, what, does school go year round for you where you work, or were they out for the summer, and are they gonna be starting up again here soon? Uh, over to you, Kevin. Well, uh, it's a regular year, as far as I know, right to where we kinda know the school year starts out, uh, on Labor Day, uh, holiday, and usually ends, uh, somewhere, somewhere in the middle of June before July, like, uh, the, the, uh, well, I know last year, cause, see, I don't even remember what it was this year, it was like the 28th or something, so it was really cool. So it was really close to July that, uh, the kids were off. Um, and let's see, how is everybody? I hadn't been in here forever. Um, I, I just been sleeping through a lot of the nets, and just work, work, work, work, work, I, you know, got some messages about certain things happening, yep, mute the manic situation, don't be heaps cool, okay, I got that. Uh, I wasn't hostile about it ever. I was most just like, look, how you go pick up a job like Sunday and then just walk away from it. So I had said that, I remember I had said that, and, uh, I guess at some point I was just gonna ask, I was just gonna ask to recall it, and, uh, I hadn't changed when I said, hey, look, if you're gonna be crazy, you know, I mean, come on then, uh, how's that gonna work out? Don't give yourself important jobs if you're out of your mind. So that's all I said, uh, I remembered it while I was off, but I, I, I've said it in, uh, occasional Q-Soles. We had a pretty, uh, crazy and important hip-hop death that took place on Monday, Howie, uh, Howie T from, uh, Full Force. And he was a big producer, right? He produced like a lot of groups, the Real Rock Band, a few others. He passed away, and, uh, I don't know how he, how the hell that happened. I suddenly heard, hey, if TMZ doesn't know, um, then you're pretty much screwed. There is supposed to have a, there's supposed to be a pipeline on all of this, so if they have no idea, then, uh, then you're messed up. Uh, well, that is kind of why I walked away from regular 2-meters here in Toronto. Uh, it kind of started before the 2000s. Yeah, there were too many jammers on, nobody was doing anything about it. The repeat owners seemed to just kind of, uh, let it, you know, roll through. They took it in their strides, and I was like, I'm out of here. Um, there's, there's, yes, people from Scarborough. Not only does that, but a lot of times, you know, when people do the, the, the conjunctive and keying up. Um, and I said this in the 90s, I honestly think sometimes it's hands that are bored, because you just kind of figure no one's gonna see what you're doing, so that you can get away with, uh, keying up your mic 30,000 times. Uh, and yeah, a T-hunt works. Usually it does. Usually when people know you've found them, it kind of changes the game a little bit. Of course, too, they can play the game forever to where, uh, you still have to find them. So I got tired of a lot of it, and I at least ostensibly knew somewhere like Echoing would be, uh, immune to it. And for the most part, it usually is. Um, it's kind of like on Do-Drop. I think the majority of the, uh, heckling and the bad T-ups would come from the RF gateways where people, where you couldn't do anything about it, right? Like here. Um, if somebody came in on someone's particular RF, all you'd be able to do is mute them and just kind of know, okay, maybe something's coming across Darrow or something's coming across someone else. Uh, but you know, it happens all the time across, uh, systems where, you know, there's these little links people are gonna be able to get through on HTs, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. But for the most part, um, well, cause one of the people that I used to hate here in Scarborough, he's just a major stooge. Everybody makes fun of him. It's this guy, Bruce, VA3YTV. You know, he's a black and white, right? It's one reason. And another reason is, if you get him talking, he speaks like a speed freak, right? And he, it's like a lot of hot air. And so it was like, okay, well, guys like that don't go to heckling. And so there was that situation. And then, um, we would also kind of avoid, there were certain characters and certain people we avoided just because they were just known to be bad. Like one was the Barra, right? Uh, the Buffalo Amateur Radio Association. It got around to blind people that they're not very friendly to us, so stay off their systems. They used to be all over the place. So when you lived, at least in the footprint of it, you know, 90 miles, um, and for a while I lived in, um, Medina, where my mother's lived for many years. You couldn't avoid it. It's like they were everywhere. So the best thing to do, um, it used to be said that those losers don't get on Echolink. Another one that's really bad, uh, we just didn't get off on the right foot. He ended up, he used to block me all the time when he would see me with that dick Langer, WB2JPQ. I think honestly he's as bad as what they say about some of the Barra guys. He now runs East Coast Reflector. I don't know how they do or what they do. I just never, never would be a part of anything he's a part of. So then in turn, anything they're a part of. So through the blind community and through other people, he's gotten a bad name. Um, and, uh, some people call him a common CB'er, so he's somebody to avoid. So there was a lot of characters that I kind of walked away from just even getting on Echolink. Um, certain aspects are still there and other aspects, uh, it's basically, uh, you know, a safe haven up to a certain point. Cause I think here, mostly you're almost totally protected from trouble. I mean, you'll get some on occasion, but mostly it's, it's easy. It's a lot easier to filter. So I even say, if you would have asked me in the nineties going into the two thousands, I would have said, why would you even want to go on any of the local frequencies? I would have said, they're pretty stupid yo. Who wants to get on and talk to, um, uh, Lloyd, uh, Midnight on Seminole Street and doesn't have a license in the first place? Or, uh, what is it Dan, the caretaker? That's who he was on CB? So he uses the E3IS."},{"callsign_confidence":0.8200000000000001,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T17:29:14+00:00","id":15922,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":15921,"text":" And we picked up our buddy, Kilo Charby, eight fox queen victor, Mr. Mark and Aurora Ohio, along with Kilo Kilo seven, November Quebec, November Hunter, and Shelton Washington.

Or a thrash pad, like guys doing illegal crap have, right? You know, that's the thing that always gets, that's crazy to me, right? Is we have a housing situation, but my drug dealing friends can get like these little one room places for almost nothing. It's like, yeah, well hey, if you want to get to my place, Tevin, you got to get through the, hop through the fire exit at Fufu's Food Market. And then you got to walk through an alleyway of trash, pizza boxes and junk everywhere. And then you'll barely find my house. And that's my, that's my crib. So it's definitely some crazy stuff, but I am intrigued on the tiny houses. Now, so the building more houses thing has to happen in Toronto. But they're also trying to play out to the House of Commons in Ottawa. I think Doug Ford is playing out to try to totally drop all of the tax for everything if you're an Ontarian. So it might help some, I don't know. I don't know if it's going to restore asses in those restaurants that close suddenly because no one's going. I don't know, but it's a curious one.

I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting your advanced and so on. But welcome to this hobby and great about that six meter contact with an antenna you built. Thanks for joining us. Victor Alpha Seven, Mike Oscar Victor. Dragos, welcome to the net. Greetings. So I guess the answer to the question at hand, what's the longest contact? Well, I used to be about a kilometer away from Adrian, but at 100 meters and one there, I believed using a Hammett up SDR to feed the frequency up converter and a Hack RF, a one watt ping from 18,000 kilometers away in Madagascar on whisper on 20 meters. But that was when I was at 100 meters of elevation and I recently moved down to 25 meters of elevation and put up a 60 meter and set dipole in a tree and about the best I've gotten with my 7300 and 100 watts is over to Japan in 8,000 kilometers away and Germany, I believe that was about 10,000 kilometers. I think that was also on 20 meters all of those. So Victor Alpha Seven, Mike Oscar Victor, VA7MOV. All right, well those are all great. Especially 60 meters, no one's mentioned that band yet. Yeah, great stuff, especially that whisper contact. It's amazing what we can do with so little power. Thanks for joining us. Last I heard Adrian was putting up a tower. I was wondering if we hear from him today. Victor Echo Four November Oscar Lima Nolan, you're up next.

Looking at the place, it looked like you had some of the best restaurants in Canada. It would probably be in Toronto. So you probably didn't get affected as bad, but Montreal, all the restaurants in Montreal, they aren't very rich. I mean, Toronto has a lot of money. Montreal has very little money. A lot of these places that we had here, none of them could last. We had some really nice places here for breakfast and brunch. They're all gone now. Now they've got pizzerias and these other places that probably don't have refrigerators. People are taking those over. I forgot the thing they slice. It's a rotating wheel. It's a piece of meat. I forgot what they call it, but they don't refrigerate that at night. I drive by it, and they're at nighttime. You can still see it sitting there, and no one's eating it. That's the chance to take these other restaurants. But they're all over the place. All the good ones are gone. Yeah, it's just hard to really want to be in business here in the GTA. In fact, I hope Doug Ford manages to get that thing through where they want to totally lower the tax, the three that we get here in Ontario. So, what is it, the HST, the PST, GST, I think DST is more like it. Well, if they do that, it will be a considerable help in some aspects. I don't know if he means around the whole gamut, right? Not just goods and services. So I don't know if that's what he's thinking about. I'm not sure. Because now with Carney turning tail the way he's done recently, people are kind of like he just pretty much shot down a lot of people with his latest reaction. Let's say that, and I know you know what I mean. You follow things enough to know. His latest stunt has got people absolutely disappointed on him. The least that they can say. Yesterday, Jill Bennett was trying to be nice because she won't swear. So she said that they're not feeling him right about now.

It's going to be about some critter living in the woods or something, or an owl. They run a bunch of stories like that that no one is going to listen to. They miss the major news stories. Of course, they have to follow them, or no one's going to pay for it. They follow up in a light manner, maybe on the hazy side they don't really cover. I don't know. I feel it's not split equally.

Because people aren't going there anymore to hear you do beat juggles and the two click flair. Alright they're not interested in that anymore. I'll bet you right now because I said that. There's like those of you right now. What's that? What the hell are you talking about? You're talking through your ass. And then in that case I can say see. See what I mean. People don't care about that anymore. Nobody's waiting for some of the baddest crews to rock the wheels. It just doesn't happen anymore. Like you're not saying hey listen I got to hit the clubs to hear some dope scratching. I gotta hit the clubs to hear some dope beat juggling. When have you said that? If it wasn't 1998 you're lying. You haven't said it recently. Even at that when you listen to records. How many people brag about they DJ? It used to be every other record if you remember right? That doesn't happen anymore. Name like 5-6 DJ crews you know of. You're lying. I can't even think of one. Maybe reggae sound class crews still exist. I'm jolly down with that. There might be some sound class crews. Rewind and come again my selector. And then they wheel it back. Or another favorite is when they throw it on sloppy. You hear the crackle of the noise when they're trying to find the place they're putting it on. And then boom. Because all their songs start like that. Anyways when is the last time someone shouted over a tape? Like Clue. He asked DJ Clue has to let you know that not only does he get something first. But he's got to put his voice all over it because he doesn't want you to forget him. See that used to be the thing. When's the last time you heard DJ's having to scream their thirsty names on someone else's shit? Because if they don't nobody cares about them. Like when you listen to K-Slave back in the day and you don't even know the last time you heard him. First because he's dead. But when you used to listen to him. You cared about the exclusives right? Like he had the latest whatever. But he had to let you know. He always had to let you know. K-Slave! New shit! Exclusive! Exclusive! Because if he didn't. He didn't give a ass about him. And it's like okay play the records you stupid bastard. Alright. So yeah. So no one's doing that. And I think at some point I do want to get rid of my zigga zigga's. So if there's anyone ill and raw. If I ever encounter somebody. Let me find out. Like you say Kevin. I really want to get started. I want to get good. I want to learn how to mix and all of that man. I need me a pair of platters. You know what I'm saying? I need an adult mixer. I got you! I need a set of break beats. I got you. Yeah. I got doubles of Freedom, Get Up and Dance. I got 8 to 10 copies of Let's Dance, Herman Kelly. All your favorites. All of that stuff that was known as a hip hop anthem. I got probably 40,000 copies of Bounce Rock Skate. I got a million copies of the Chic Good Times. And I might have the album somewhere. Because you got to front with the album. Most of them are re-releases where they go right to the break. Like these, ah, ah. And then it goes right into that silent part that niggas mess with. So, ah, I have everything from the old Dickin compilations to the ultimate break beats. I got enough to get you rolling, right? I got a few copies of ah, ah, ah, To Be Real. Ah, I got a few copies of ah, ah, Rufus. So, you know your joints, alright? You know the things when you used to rock the party. Um, you had to at least have that incredible bongo band and a few other things. I got those. So, let me find out if someone is trying to get rolling. I'll hook you up. And I got the old fashioned UK 1210s. So, you know those are good to front with because most people won't have those. Right? Ah, they were the UK versions of the Tech 12s. Because you know they don't make 12s anymore. So, I actually have the 1210s. And ah, the only difference is they were converted to run on American voltage, right? Because you try to actually run their tables here and you don't change anything. You get a fire started or something. So, there you go. So, yeah, at some point in time we can hook somebody up. You just have to let me know you're dope and you're down with the program. And ah, talk music to me. And ah, once I see that you're ill, you'll be set up. Ah, I have an Imitation 05 Pro. It's one of those American audio mixers. But it's made to mimic the 05 Pro. So, if you know all that stuff, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't, then you can ask. Okay, you better ask somebody. I'm at the bottom of the list. And I'm just talking it up on purpose because we're bombing pretty bad on a Sunday. So, anyone else that would like to come in, please do so. It will be A3KKY."},{"callsign_confidence":0.8200000000000001,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-01T03:48:07+00:00","id":29449,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":29448,"text":" Well, you have to maintain your neighborhood or it looks like the project. It looks like a black neighborhood, right? Like... Like... Region... Region Park. Or... What's that place, the city above Toronto, Vaughan? Where... It's like...

You got to like climb down a fire exit to find those houses. It's not even normal. So, yeah. You don't want your neighborhoods looking like that and... I... I want to know about a black neighborhood.

Would that be the one at 316 West Holly Street in Bellingham? According to Google, it says hip cozy bistro offering area source breakfast served all day and lunch in rusty cool digs. You worked at that place? What were you doing up in Bellingham? When was that? Anyway. So, busy day for me. I'm not muffled today because I'm at my home QTH here with my Icom mobile radio and the Icom boost net microphone with a fuzzy on it so that I don't make any breath-pumping noises. And I wanted to mention that it's kind of a follow-up on my car. I mentioned a couple of times that the rebate is supposed to have a $4,000 rebate for used EV and the dealership had called me and said, hey, you know, we need your Social Security card. And I go, Social Security card? No one's ever asked for that in my life and I'd have to get my mother and father's birth certificate to get a replacement card. Oh my gosh. So I went in there the other day and talked to the sales guy who had been calling me. I wasn't there, but I talked to the manager and I said, hey, you know, what's with this thing needing my Social Security number? And he goes, let me check on the IRS thing here. So he checks on the IRS webpage and he says, yeah, the problem is Social Security number. We need to have your Social Security number. And I said, you could have asked that on the phone. I would have given it, you know, Social Security number. So I read out my number and apparently someone on their end, the dealership's end, had typed in one number wrong and of course it was not going through. So he corrected the number and he says, okay, it's good. Yep, all done. $4,000 rebate, which isn't for me. It's for the dealership. So I don't know why they didn't pursue this a little more. Anyway, that's taken care of. And the other thing I wanted to mention is, oh, it's a cooler day today. Yes, I like that. I've been putting off doing serious house cleaning in my work because on the hot days it just gets too hot here when it's like 75, I'm sorry, 78, 80 degrees in my apartment. It's not much fun. I'm too lazy to turn on the air conditioner, I guess. But today it's nice and cool. I can't avoid it. I've been vacuuming with my replacement Eureka Mighty Mite vacuum. Yes, I misplaced my vacuum cleaner. I don't know where. And I got the new one, a replacement in the other day, exact duplicate. And it's working great. It's second grade. And we're all having a great day here on a Friday. Enjoy. KI7, CEI. Thank you for watching."}]}
