Yeah, so it ended up coming ashore. Yeah, they do that and they fizzle out, but they can still cause a bit of damage when they initially come on ashore. Oh, that's cool, I'm gonna go look. I'm sure there's video of it. It's always, you know, water spouts always intrigue me. I was always thinking that when I was in Florida, I was always looking for them down in the Bahamas. In the fall, we get a lot of them over the Great Lakes, and I was always thinking about taking a jet ski and going out there. You know, doing what you're not supposed to do, drive right up to one. Ride what? Ride right up to one, just don't get into it. Okay, thanks for that, let me cycle. Oh, by the way, the series of the Js and the Orioles, man, that was giving me some heartache back and forth, especially given that, no offense, that the Js were leading the league total as far as best performance, not just the ALEs. That's another story, I gotta say Baltimore did come out swinging that time, that, what was it, like 16-4? Oh my God, that was a destruction, as far as that game goes. Okay, let me get back on topic. Baseball's another thing. VA3, VWX, let me cycle it. I have a question for you at the tail end of your presentation, VA3, KDC. What the? It's funny, you look at, yeah. Okay, VA3, KDC, Omar, yeah, go ahead. There's a bit of a lag between the repeater and the lag might be on mine. Okay, Omar, I'll get you in there at the end of the presentation. Funny thing with the Js, right, you look at the standings, for it's an American League standings, the Js are the only Canadian team and you're top of the standings. I always laugh, it hasn't happened in years. Anyway, that's another story. Okay, so Canada, it was, the high Arctic was actually cooler than average. It was actually the coolest it's been since the 90s and this is with the 90, 91 to 20, 20 averages. So alert was 1.2 degrees, resolute 2.0 degrees below average. Whereas other places, Toronto, they were 1.9 degrees, Windsor was half a degree. St. John's, which is way out in Newfoundland, they were at 2.5 degrees. They were actually the warmest, they had the highest deviation nationally as far as major locations go across the country. That's interesting, so it was sort of a mixed bag. Let me drop it."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-02T19:13:01+00:00","id":13689,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":13688,"text":" This is Victor, Alpha 3 Victor, Whiskey X-ray 4ID. All right, we've had a few things come in. I was gonna mention the fires, since that's been pretty important. I know there are people who've been asking about that. So the fire situation for Canada, this is over the course of the last week. British Columbia, they've seen a doubling in the number of active fires in the past week. The National Prepareless Level federally is at a level five for the whole country. That's the highest level, and basically that means that there's a full commitment of national assets, and international assistance is also being mobilized to help with it. So there's basically an extreme demand for firefighting resources, so that's pretty high. Okay, back to BC. The Wesley Ridge Fire, that was north of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. That fire's grown and it's basically out of control. Last I checked, the Cantilever Bar Wildfire, that's near Liddon, and that blaze is causing poor quality in the Fraser Canyon and surrounding regions. Bear Creek Wildfire, that was on the east side of Harrison Lake, and that's led to road closures in the recreation area. And then when you look at Saskatchewan, they're provincially at a preparedness level five, so it's very, that's the highest it can get. And they have a number of massive fires as well. Let me cycle up. One fire, it's enormous. This is Lower Fishing Lake. This fire is estimated at over 554,000 hectares. That's massive. La Ronge, that's another one that's at about 207,000 hectares and north of Weyakwin, and that fire's estimated at 192,000 hectares, so those are the three biggest fires right now in Saskatchewan, huge. And that's of course, people always think Saskatchewan is prairie and wheat and flat, yes it is, but northern Saskatchewan is very rugged and it's a different world, right? Very different from the southern half. It goes from prairie land into heavy forest. Manitoba, they're also obviously at a five. The big fire there, Snow Lake, that one's 28,000 hectares, so excuse me, 28,000 hectares, and Leaf Rapids, that one's 73,000 hectares. Alberta, they're at a preparedness level four, so they're doing a little bit better than some of the other provinces, but they have a number of new wildfires. There's one burning near Lac La Biche, Fort McMurray, and they have some smaller ones that are ongoing, but those are sort of the big ones. And as far as evacuations go, Little Coquitlam River Village, as well as the Wesley Ridge wildfire on Vancouver Island, so there are evacuation orders in effect for those communities in the north side of Cameron Lake, and the Lytton First Nation in BC is also being evacuated. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven, November to Quebec November. There are a number of evacuation alerts, but that means you're ready to evacuate. That doesn't necessarily mean you've gotta go. The ones I just mentioned were the orders where get out of the way, things aren't looking good, so not great. And of course, needless to say, the smoke, the air quality is up and down, it's hit and miss. It just depends on the way the wind's blowing and what it's doing, right, what the fire's doing, the way the wind's blowing. So it's been, today for example, it was a wonderful day, 25, I think got up to 27 degrees Celsius here in Toronto, but the sky had that bit of a reddish hue to it because of the high level smoke. We were okay at ground level, but the smoke was way up in the sky versus the day before. The sky was this crisp blue color because there was no smoke. So it comes and it goes, and obviously the closer you are to fires, you can have other effects such as ash fall, things like that. We're not having that in Eastern Canada per se, but in Western Canada and the North, that's far more common."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-02T19:34:46+00:00","id":13701,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":13700,"text":" Okay QSL, and there is a bit of a...

We don't know what the precursors are, but we don't know where and when that trigger will emerge. You know, often cases with naturally occurring avalanches, triggers, they're enough pressure on a piece of snow, and that sort of gives way. And then the entire, all the avalanche, all the area where the snow is packed in such a way that it favors an avalanche will then move, right? The entire slope starts coming down, you can get a big avalanche. And this is the same thing in a way, right? Where it looks at the, it basically looks at things at an atomic level and gives us an introspect as to what's going on with the actual discharge itself. And hence they chose the name for photoelectric feedback discharge. That's what the model is that they made. Anyway, it's interesting, Kenko maybe elaborated a little bit more on it. And again, thanks to Chris at VE3RWJ for sending that in. It was, it's an interesting article. All right, with that, I will send it back to that control. One other thing I'm gonna mention to you guys, currently in Canada, we have a meme appreciation month. Sorry, it's not a contest. It's a special event station or a group of special event stations. It's for meme appreciation month. So a group of people, they've done this in mass, they've brought it together and they bought a number of different, they purchased licenses for a number of different special event stations. So if you're into memes and that sort of stuff, there's some interesting stations. VB4Ligma, VB3EET, Y-E-E-T, VC9CatGirl, K3K, cat, it's a whole bunch of interesting one, Rickroll, VC3, Rickroll, et cetera. So if you want some interesting stations, you can listen for those and just Google it. It's a meme appreciation month. If you Google meme appreciation month, RAC, Radio Amateurs Canada, that'll come up as well as their own station. The most recent one that's been getting some people worked up, they registered CJ2Satan, S-A-T-A-N, CJ2Satan. So if you want that one in your log and you can find them, go ahead. So there you go, they're having some fun. We do things differently up here, I guess. All right, back to Ken for Net Control, VA3VWX. And this is VA3EET, K-X, thanks so much for that tonight, Tom. And any stations out there, if you have a comment, question for Tom, come on in. Yeah, I just saw the question for Tom, it's V3KDC."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-02T19:42:03+00:00","id":13704,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":13703,"text":" I'll do it in for your note as you're doing the reboot. Back in now, V3KDC. The question I had was, hopefully you can hear me, when you were talking about the Arctic ice minimum maximum, I just want to make sure that I heard you correctly. And if I did, then I have a follow-up question. Or did I perhaps mishear you? You were talking about the Arctic minimum, sorry, Arctic minimum. I have to say minimum occurring during the North American summer. To me, that just appears counterintuitive. So I'm wondering if I heard you correctly, or maybe I misheard. Anyways, back to you. VH3, VWX, you're VH3KDC. I'm, VH3, VWX returning. I think I heard what you were asking. I just don't know how it's counterintuitive. Okay, so, it's summer in the Arctic. So the Arctic minimum occurs, so August is a month that has the, for a monthly period, August will have the least amount of ice. And that also carries over into the first week, maybe two weeks of September, depending on the year. And then after that, it'll start cooling down enough where ice will actually begin to grow in the high Arctic. So ice cover for the Northern hemisphere is the absolute lowest. So snow and ice cover is the absolute lowest for the entirety of the month of August as a monthly measure. And then for the first week or two weeks of September, once you get into the third week of September, snow cover and ice growth goes up. So that's what's happening. And vice versa, the opposite happens in the Southern hemisphere. They get into their maximum, so you have the maximum amount of ice growth in the Southern hemisphere. And it typically peaks in that first week of September, and then it'll begin to very slowly diminish. And then speed up as they move towards their spring in the Southern hemisphere. And okay, I'm glad. Hopefully that all makes sense to you, which I'm sure it does. We'll send it back to you if you have any response. VAWX. Yeah, thanks Tom. Actually I misspoke twice now. So I texted you while you were telling me that everything you just said makes complete sense. I must have just somehow misheard. In my defense, I was driving home. So thank you for explaining that and clarifying. I'll send it back to you, and then I'll let you throw it back again. But it definitely answers my question. Thanks again. V3WX or V3KDC? All right, V3KDC, V3WX. Yeah, no problem for that Omar. I'm glad that, yeah, no worries you misheard. It's all good. It's there, yeah, and August is typically the warmest month of the Arctic summer season, where many places will consistently have temperatures above 10 degrees. I want to say north of 10 degrees, but they'll have daytime highs getting well above 10 degrees consistently. And many of the places still have, maybe not exactly 24 hours of daylight, but the daylight hours are still much, much longer than anything you get south of 60 degrees. So they're still getting long days. So that all helps, of course. Okay, I don't know if there are any other questions, but we'll send it back to Kenan if there are. He can take them. And if not, he can move on with the net.

Okay, I got your call sign there. KI5, ZLion, right? VA3VWX returning. Okay, I misheard. I totally heard something different. Okay, you heard the Derby Fire. That's when that one kicked up. Yeah, yeah, that one's, um, where is it? De Cerro? I know it's east of Vail. Just north of I-70 there. Okay, so I'm not an expert on this, but what I can, from my experience with the alert system on the cell phones in the US, um, the, unlike placing a phone call, if your phone, you don't need it to be bi-directional, the cell service will pump out the alert message a number of times until you get it. So even, so as long as your phone can hear, um, the control signal from the tower, right, so the digital burst that tells it what channel to sit on, um, within that will be the embedded alert message, so you'll get it. So even if you can't place a phone call, so depending on your phone, the phone will try and ping the tower, and if it can't ping the tower, it can hear the tower, but the tower can't hear the phone, right? It'll show you no bars of service, let's say, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's not hearing the tower intermittently. So you're probably in a situation where your phone was hearing some of the signal from the tower, right? It was hearing a bit of the control channel, and, um, it heard enough of it that it was able to get the alert, but you just would not be able to place an outgoing call, right? It would never connect, so the cell, your phone was not affiliating with that particular cell tower, um, in that zone. So, does that make sense to you? Think about it like a bit of a trunk tracking system, right? Where the radio, being your cell phone, is not affiliating with the tower, it can hear it, but the tower can't hear your cell phone, so it can hear the control channel, it pings out to the tower, the tower isn't hearing it, so it doesn't, it doesn't, um, get the return ping, getting the notification that it's been heard by the system, but it can still decode, um, what's being sent out. Does that make sense?"},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-30T20:14:29+00:00","id":28577,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":28576,"text":" Yeah, VK2DY, Victor Alpha 3, Victor Whiskey X-Ray. Yeah, QSL on that. The hardware is there, right? All the hardware globally now is basically the same. It was standardized all with 3G, and now with LTE and 5G, etc. It's all basically standardized. So I assume that it's just a case of building the system locally and integrating it. So the hardware is already there to do it. It's just a case of how do you get all the different agencies on board, and how do you draw the polygons and stuff, right? So for us, the system worked in the US fairly seamlessly because they used polygons all the time, right? Here in Canada, we use alert zones, so it varies. Sometimes they'll use polygons, sometimes they'll use regional boundaries. Some of the weather warning boundaries, for example, follow local districts, right? Because it just makes sense. So we have both regions and counties, and in some cases, you'll break a region into 3 or 4 separate areas, right? And that's the way it breaks down on the electoral map. So what they've had to do is they've had to basically take each one of those broken up zones and turn it into its own polygon, and then put it into the alert system, and then the alert system just hits whatever the cell towers are that is within that box. So I imagine for you in Australia, it's just a case of building out the system to the point where you can just hit a button and it'll send out the messages. But all the hardware is already there, right? It's just a case of the software integration for your specific need. Go ahead."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-30T20:21:21+00:00","id":28584,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":28583,"text":" in America but here in Australia we have a set of mobile apps that you can download. But in an emergency if you don't have those mobile apps downloaded, it will be like a big circle around the affected area and they'll make it say like 50k radius of the affected area. And then what they'll do is they'll choose to use cell towers in the area and then they'll say if it's a device, what's an app or emergency level. And so those just basically mean like if you need to keep a watch of it, if you need to evacuate, if you need to prepare for something bad to happen. And basically with those things they send it out on the phone. The app is run by the Empire Department here and what the app does is it basically sends it out. So say you've got a watch zone set for your area, like I have one set for my local area, when you pass this start it's got an emergency warning in there, it will come out to my phone and it's like it's an ex-emergency. It will be like an app notification, so everything will break. And if you don't have the app downloaded and it's like an emergency level warning, it will either come over the radio, like the AM-FM radio or the camera will try to keep it fixed as well and it will go to just anyone in about 100k. I think it's like an AM-FM radio where they've set it will be automatically adjusted. And like in Australia if you dial simple zero say and you don't have any phone service, it may go through, depending on what your cell provider does. But if that doesn't work, they say try the international emergency number 112, which then broadcasts, just goes to any service provider in your range and tries to get you through with that. Over. Yeah, VA3VWX returning. Okay, I understand what you're saying now. You're saying that there's an app. I don't know anything about the cellular system in Australia. Do you use the wireless emergency alert system? So here in North America, it also exists in Europe as far as my experience. It's basically built into the cell network itself and they call it the WEAS or WEAS. And it's basically a broadcast message that's embedded within the cell signal itself. So you don't need an app or anything. It works wherever you are. Do you have that in Australia or is there reliance on an app within the network so you're using some sort of data that's outside of that system? That's my question for you.

And yeah, when those AMBER alerts come in in the middle of the night, we've had a few where they've come through like four in the morning. And it wakes you up. We actually had a funny one here in the city. Not a funny one, but we had a nuclear emergency was declared. And of course, being the nerd that I am, I have a Geiger counter, a general purpose one, like an excitation meter. So I got a phone call. And they were like, hey, can you head towards the Pickering plant? There's a meltdown. I'm like, oh, OK, yeah, I'll go to the nuclear plant. Sure, that makes sense. So I stopped by my house. And I stopped at home. And I grabbed the meter. And I started going that way. And of course, there was nothing. It was a false alert. But there was a whole big investigation. It was supposed to be like an internal test message, if I recall correctly. And somehow, it went out to the public system. So there were people that live visibly within range of the nuclear plant that were getting ready to take their iodine pills and stuff. And I was sort of laughing, because it's a heavy water reactor. It's not like that type of reactor itself is pretty safe. So even if there was something going wrong, it's not going to happen that quickly. But anyhow, Ken will send it back to you for neck control. You remember that? You remember when everybody got the alerts on their phone that Pickering was melting down? Go ahead. Heck, I was just downstream from Three Mile Island, 79 KP3-22. Located in Shelton, Washington. Oh, yeah, the interesting one with Three Mile Island was before Chernobyl, that was like the worst nuclear incident ever. And when they cut the containment unit open when they got in there, they realized it wasn't as bad as they actually thought, right? Everything was fairly well contained. So yeah, Three Mile Island.

So there's two fires currently burning ZF15 and the other one is SS14. So I was looking at the fire fire front map for the latest data which is actually accurate to today and the Bison Sanctuary is mostly okay. The northern fire hasn't intruded into it but the southern fire which did cut across Highway 3 that one has intruded into the southern half of the Bison Sanctuary and it's hard for me to say but I would say an area of about 20 kilometers by 10 kilometers the length times width that's that's the area that's going to be affected within the Bison Sanctuary. The northern fire which does eventually cut across Highway 3 further north but it does so outside of the Bison Sanctuary. So the vast majority of the Bison Sanctuary is okay but the fire did go into Fort Providence that's the area that's greatest affected right now.

Hey, sorry to break into your net. It sounds like you got a good net there. I'm just wondering if the station, we're on the Canada hub and somebody must be cross-connected. There's another conflicting net at 9 o'clock. I'm just wondering if whoever's taking part in your net, if they could disconnect from the Canada hub so we can get the science and tech net going over here. I'm just trying to log into the dashboard to figure out who it is, but I think it's obviously somebody on your net. So that would be appreciated. I'll send it back to you for net control.

And of course feedback, you want to send me feedback about the other net by all means. And whether it's good or bad feedback, send along, it helps improve things. Yeah, can you call me anytime I'm usually up? All right, I'll definitely be talking about doing that. And with that, I guess time to wrap things up. And this is a scientific technique.

And I heard the set today, I couldn't respond. I was at an appointment, I did have my hand held, but I didn't think with any point of responding that all you folks were also on Simplex, so I wouldn't have been able to reach far enough out. But I did listen, and I didn't get back home until after two this afternoon, and it sounded to me like for what I did here, it sounded like the set was a success. So I'm glad you guys were able to do that today. All right, thanks Tom. Any additional suggestions out there?

And just as an aside, the Arizona governor, Katie Hobbs, she declared a state of emergency for the areas that were affected. There was an interesting side bit to it. There was a hand-mat situation developed. There was a large propane tank that was washed downstream, and that apparently caused a bit of a hazmat incident because they were concerned that the tank may have been venting out, but I don't know if anything more happened with that. I just noticed that as a side note. Okay, let me drop it. I got some other weather, and then we're almost done."}]}
