They're all yelling at me, so please be here. Yeah. Yeah, my internet is going wonky. Joe, it's cutting in and out here. I'm just waiting for my phone to connect to be a cellular. There we go. Standby one. There we go. At least I know I'm getting through now. Internet is still a little wonky, man, weirdly enough. And when it conks my repeater out, it conks out my node and my phone and all that when it's on Wi-Fi. But it just disappears for a second. It's like packets stop transmitting, and then they just start again. It's not enough to disconnect anything, but it's enough to cut the audio out briefly, weirdly enough. But yeah, everything's going good, man. My first job was call center. It was a call center. We're scam call centers, I think, to be honest with you. We were selling an actual product, and that was the British Business Directory. Apparently, it was like a yellow page just for business in the UK. And that's what we were selling. So we'd be cold calling farmers and businesses and stuff that were in this area and make sure that they knew that their subscription was up for renewal. Even though they probably weren't even in this British Business Directory before, we were going to make sure that they signed up for it. And it was expensive. But there was an actual book, and it did get sent out and stuff like that. So it wasn't a scam. But I mean, this was the late 1990s, early 2000s. It was like around the turn of the millennium. And even back then, I felt like it was a scam of some sort. So I didn't trust it even then. Let me reset. But I was just starting college, just finished high school the year before. So making hundreds of dollars a week was cool by me. I didn't care what I was selling. Try to sell ice to an Eskimo if they were going to pay me for it, you know. But then it was shortly after that, I went back to school, and it was shortly after that that I ended up working for the government and was shipped out to Africa in 2001. So that was when the big checks started rolling in. And I was in Africa, so I wouldn't spend that any money. So when I got back from there, I had a pretty healthy bank account that I blew through very quickly in my early 20s. Bought a motorcycle, of all things, with a vision problem and no motorcycle license. Needless to say, ended up driving that thing on a dirt road only. It was up by a cottage. And ended up selling the thing at a huge, huge loss. 15 years later. So that's my story, Joe. Great to be out here just morning, man. And I was just shocked. I didn't realize that something was interfering with my game controller. I'm here playing some Doom Eternal. And it has gyro in the controller, so you can aim just by moving the controller around. You don't have to move any joystick or anything. You just physically move the controller left to right and up and down. And it moves you around in the game and acts like a mouse just by moving the controller. So it's pretty cool. But when you were taking check-ins, I was calibrating my gyro on the controller. And every time the repeater would transmit, the three gyro positions would move. And the calibration in the controller was perfectly still on the table. But the repeater was interfering with the gyro calibration, which I thought was absolutely crazy. As far as I know, it doesn't even use RF. It uses motion and a gyroscopic sensor in the controller. But for some reason, it interfered. Anyway, man, I'll leave you with it. 73 and all the best from here on the rocks. This is V01 in the UK. November, Quebec, November. All-star, node 6222. Located in Shelton, Washington. Hey, sounds good there, Dale. Well, that's interesting to have a job out of the country, for sure. I know what you mean. One of my early, when I first moved to Vegas, I worked two jobs, though I wasn't making a whole lot of money. I was always working, so I didn't have time to spend my checks. I literally was collecting checks and didn't even have time to cash them. So that was pretty cool there. And yeah, I know. There's one of the drones out there that has one or several that you can get. It's just a hand controller. It's just like a stick you hold. And as you turn it left, turn it right, turn it forward, turn it back, that's how you operate the drone with all the gyros and stuff. It's pretty cool. Don't have that. And I never get a call center. Nick, I did work in a room reservations office. I did do that. But call centers are certainly very popular. So anyway, thanks, Dale. Always good to hear you there. Hope you're having a great day. And let's go to Cliff. Cliff, I didn't hear the footpath. I'm using my footpath every day now. And my toe is still, sometimes it's not looking good. Sometimes it is looking good. I don't know. But my toe now hasn't grown in over three months. So everything I read is going to fall off one of these days. So we'll see. And 08C from KTH7's even in. Well, good morning, everybody. Good morning, Joe. God, last night, I only did 25 miles. And I had a hard time going home. I don't know what happened. And then I woke up in the middle of the night with cramps and all that. And I do not know what happened with that. So hope that doesn't happen too much and stuff. So first job was this restaurant, really amazing restaurant, McDonald's. Mwah! So french fry, man. All this stuff. So what was that thing? $1.65 an hour. And what they did is they used to get, if you, oh, what was it in there? Anyway, if you went a certain long and stuff and everything, you'd get all the free food. And that's the only reason I stretched it out. When they changed it, said, we're going to give you $0.20 more since. No more of that, I go. And that was in one more week, they said. And I go, well, in one more week, I quit. I quit, I quit, I quit. So I went through, we're doing construction and doing sledgehammer and stuff like that. I used to really like that. Really, I used to be pretty strong in the days. So that was pretty good there. Let's see, what else I got? Oh, I got to do the bass thing. So I set off, I did guitar before bass. And bass has more positions than everything else. It's just like anything. It's just how you play it. And as far as people put on, yeah, some movies I've seen that way and stuff. But also, but during a year of funk and all that, the bass player was up front without no doubt. Especially if you get slapped and all that. But yeah, one of my favorite movies, he didn't even tell them. He doesn't even have a name because of what you say. Anyway, it's all good stuff. But anyway, wow. You know what I used? I had to use this stuff for pickle juice. And it usually works pretty good, but not last night. All right. Anyway, back to Ned. And I appreciate it. Joe, you be the man in 080. Hey everybody, here, Cliff. You know, a couple of months ago, it seemed like after an hour into my ride, it's lately been those 44, 45 miles. By the hour into my ride, I was getting these severe cramps. I literally would have to get off my bike and try to massage my calf muscles and stuff. And I never figured out why. I never ever had that problem in the past. So I don't know where that came from. I had it for maybe a month. So, and pickle juice, never really tried it. I grew like pickles. And yeah, I remember my first job, bumping gas. I think it might have been two or three dollars an hour. It wouldn't have a lot. But you know, back at the time it was decent. So there you go. Anyway, good to hear that, Cliff. Have a great day. And where are we? Yeah, keep riding it. Let's go to Pappy. So I've got Pappy, Phil, Robert, Rosie, Joe and Mel coming up. So Pappy, N7HV from KK7's unit. Good grief. You want me to take back that one? Oh, well, last year I know I would let you. I did have a gasoline station job and got to check people's oil and stuff like that. And I can't remember what I was going to do. I think I was getting a buck and a quarter an hour, something like that. And the local grocery store walking distance from the house. I think that one paid a buck and a quarter. And that's where I got the first paycheck. I'm not positive. But anyway, you know, it was a fresh, you know. Couldn't hit the button to total the sales if there was an alcohol purchase because I wasn't over, I think, 21 at that time in order to sell somebody the alcohol. So it was interesting. The customer had alcohol. I had to have somebody else come over and push the total button or whatever, something that was 21. But that was kind of cool. Of course, like a lot of us that lived in the city had paper routes. You know, one of them was early morning. Had to get up 0 dark 30 and like, shovel goes down. And I did it as a kid, not now. And run on the bicycle, do the route, get back home, and grab another cat and a half for an hour, get up and go to school. And so anyway, that's really my working early career anyway. So with that, grab that rag and spray it with Microban. Well, I wasn't on the air, so nobody's going to get sprayed today. Here you go, Joe. Here's wipe, wipe, wipe, wipe. Yeah, now the mic's 99.9% germ free for the next 24. Have a good one, he's so nice of you. Back to net. Well, you know, I'm always worried about that 0.01% or 0.1%. And if I go into 25 hours, then I'm in trouble. So there you go. Thanks, Pappy. Yeah, remember in the old days, pumping gas, the machines didn't shut off at $20 or whatever. You had to manually stop it. And I remember it was almost impossible to stop those pumps at the exact pain. And at the end of the day, I remember the boss saying, we've got to watch that and how much money we would lose in a day by going over one, two, three cents on filling gas up. It really added up at the end of the day. So there you go. Anyway, thanks, Pappy. You have a great day there. Let's go to Phil, K0OBX from KK7. You're in. Hey, Joe, this is K0OBX. Thanks for taking my time. K0OBX, thanks for taking my check in. Well, my first W2 was from Holiday Inn. But my first professional W2 was from Schlumberger Offshore Services. I worked down in the Gulf of America. It was the Gulf of Mexico. And I worked on offshore rigs. And as a well-known engineer or a case-toll engineer, I would take a crew boat or fly a chopper out to a rig and perform a well service and then come back. So yeah, that was the old days done. And I worked in the case-toll division of Bellchase in Bellchase, Louisiana, Schlumberger Offshore Services. So anyway, I'm cooking up some gumbo this morning. I started out with the roux. I cook that down till it's dark. That's oil and flour, a.k.a. Cajun napalm. And then I added to that the Cajun Holy Trinity, which is onions, green peppers, and celery. Cooked that down, threw some garlic in at the end so as not to burn it. And yeah, that's doing right now. I'm about to throw in the sausage, some andouille. So that's what's cooking in my shack. Thanks for taking my check in, Joe. K0OBX. Back to Nick. Hey, sounds good there, Phil. And Cajun napalm. I like that. I'm already having a vision of that. So I ate something the other day. I don't know what the heck it was. But boy, if you have heart burners, I don't get to be too bad. But it sure did. And oil rigs, you know, one of my clients worked on the oil rigs. I guess he's passed now. So I guess I can say his name. It was Dennis Gurney. And if you Google him, you'll see there was some fire or something that happened on the oil rig. And he went back to rescue some people. He got terribly burned, like 80%, 90% of his body, and was really messed up. But he was a client for many, many, many years. And unfortunately, there was some bad stuff happening. If you Google that name, you'll see he met a very sad demise, Dennis Gurney. So anyway, thanks, Phil. Have a great day there. And let's go somewhere deep underground in a hidden bunker and check in with Robert, KatiePorch, your tube from KTH7's E-minute. Good morning, Joseph. And good morning to everyone else on the worldwide pressure pit for a very cloudy Monday. But I tell you what, the temperature has taken a dive. We're down in the 70s, where we were around 100. So I'm liking it, like the McDonald's commercial. I'm liking it, or I'm loving it or something. Anyway, had a great weekend. We had my daughter-in-law, my son. And it was her birthday. We went out to eat a couple of really, really good restaurants. But of course, this is a seat from Cappie Wolf, South Carolina. So yeah, I'm not going to brag too much about it. But you all know. You all? You get it? Anyway, wow. We started out the weekend on Friday around noon time. We went to an early matinee for a naked gun with Liam Neeson and what is her name? Pamela Anderson. And I have to tell you, Cappie looked at me halfway through, or not even halfway through, about 15 minutes in. And she goes, this movie stinks. You want to leave? I can never walk out of a movie before. That was the first time. And she goes, I'm going to ask for my money back. I had never. I was so embarrassed. I walked in. She went over to the manager. And the manager was sweet as pie. And she said, sure, honey. I mean, she's done that before. And I've never, ever, ever, ever heard of such a thing. And needless to say, it was really, really cold in that theater. And before she asked for a refund, she went down there and said, you know, it's cold in here. They turned the air conditioner down. So my god. Anyway, let me break for a second. I'll tell you what my first job was. Yeah, I had a newspaper route also. We were poor. I didn't even have a bike. I was deluded by a foot. Wow, can you imagine? You know, kids have a lot of stamina. I was delivering the New York World Telegram and Sun. No longer in publications. Long, long gone. But I was a kid shop, of course. But the real job I had was we were sifting embossing powders. You know, back then, greeting cards had those raised letters. They raised the letters with embossing powder, which was like yeast. And so I would put them in the sifters and say, I'll tell you what, man, I had more, my eyes, my eyes were plugged up, my ears were plugged up, my nose was plugged up. It was a nasty, disgusting job. And all for a dollar and fifteen hour. And I was sixteen years old and seventeen at the time. Yeah, it was a union shop. So I had to pay like five bucks out of my fifty dollar pay for nothing anyway. Wow. It brings back some memories. And not all of them were good. Anyway, I'm gonna turn it back over to you, Joe. I'm not gonna spray any micro-ban. I'm not gonna say if it's cool, if it's dry, if it's warm, if it's... But I tell you what, the temperature has taken a really nice dive. And as I said, it's always 72 and sunny in the bunker. I'll turn it back over to you, KK70. Running a good, net and a tight ship from Kilo Bravo to Romeo Quebec Quebec. Hey, sounds good there, Robert. You know, when I heard that movie, they were remaking it. I'm like, nobody can beat, I can't think of his name now. Nobody can replace him in a movie. And when I heard Liam Neeson was doing it, I'm like, you know what? He's got a shot of actually pulling it off. So yeah, I'm kind of bummed to hear that it didn't. So yeah, I will just wait to check it out when it comes to why it's not even cable anymore. I guess when it comes to streaming is the proper term today. And oh yeah, yeah, paper routes and all that is always good. Oh, I have to jump back. When I said that Google that name, Dennis Gurney, actually put that in, put oil rig hero or cop killer, unfortunately. Yeah, cause I see there's other ones in there too. Anyway, thanks Robert. Have a great day there. Say hi to Kathy for us and let's go to Ms. Rosie, VE4YYL from KK7Z. Good morning Rosie. Oh, KK7Z, this is Victor Acofoia, Angolima. Good morning to you. Good morning to the Leblings out there. And good morning to the Lefords. I hope they're out there and everybody else. And Joe Mayo there right after me coming up. Wow, I'm in between two Leblings. Wow. I've never had that before, but however, but I'm squeezing one more person in here. So I pass over the mic to my lovely husband of before I do that, but having a job, no, I did not. But I know, I remember when I was seven years old and I helped a lady home with groceries and she paid me for that. And then when I was older, about 12 years old, I helped in the kitchen out and I used to get paid for that as well. Doing pizza, doing french fries and stuff like that. And then when I was a little bit older, not 15, I was handling the bar, like, you know, drinks and whatnot. So I got mad. That's when I got paid, that's for sure. And then I had a job. I didn't want to do anything like that no more. I was a packer and you know, you're artificial trees. We used to make those from scratch with the aluminum and put them in boxes. That's what I used to do. Done a small, doing the tree and also packing that in a box. So seven trees, take care. And I got the mic over my lovely eyes. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven. Good morning, I'm E84 DWLSC. Like a few others, I used to deliver newspapers then I wound up delivering flyers. But my first real name job, I worked as a stripper, which doesn't, isn't what it sounds like. I worked in a box factory and when the cardboard came out of the press that cut it to shape, my job was to strip off the excess cardboard. It was a nice shift and actually it was one of the, one of the better paying jobs in that box factory. I had that for one summer and lo and behold, with a buy and a buy, my second job was actually when I joined the military. I did spend some time in the reserves before I went into the regular force. But all, all class that all together is I joined the military and when I got out of the military, I worked as a security guard for a little while and then I went to doing what I do now. So I haven't had a variety of jobs, but I like to stick to them. Not much more to pass on. I got one more. I got this one. The other thing I want to mention is, yeah, I was, I was, I was, I was, yeah, I was looking forward to seeing, being just, missed it on the movie. Oh yes, Naked Gun. Nobody can do Leslie Nelson and boy, it sounds like just disappointing. I'm going to have to wait till I get reports from, from other people. And Rosie's yelling something that she forgot to say, but I'll give it to neck control. And if you want us to get back to neck, to Rosie, that's up to neck control. The 4GWN. Oh, of course we got to get it back to Rosie. Yeah, go ahead Rosie. Yes. One thing I forgot to mention, there was a place that they used to do sponges, you know, for all different types of sponges and we used to cut them down. That was a dangerous place actually. But I didn't hold out until they closed down actually. They had to close down because there was so many people got sick on that. So we used to cut them and we used to put them in bags to sell, ship them off, you know. So back to neck control. Thank you for letting me in again. Well, that's interesting. Yeah, I worked for a lot of closed businesses back in Pittsburgh at the height of the steel mills shutting down in the 1980s. And yeah, so many jobs I had before I know it, they closed. And I was out of a job, then I had to go find another one and I was out of a job. Then finally I moved to Las Vegas. And Glenn was a stripper. How about that? We have our first stripper here. And Glenn was a stripper. Glenn was a stripper. Glenn was a stripper. We have our first stripper here. I like that. Good stuff, always good to hear you guys. And we're gonna have another dynamic duo coming up here soon, because Joe and Joyce, I've got you on the list. It's your time to check in. So I've got Joe, KK7JOE, I've got Mel, KV7PVW, and then Joe and Joyce, and then we'll have a new round of chickens. So let's go to Joe, KK7JOE from KK7's internet. Hey, good morning there, Joe. And good morning to everyone on that KK7JOE, Joe here in Las Vegas, the other other Joe. Not much going on this morning. Been a rough night for me health-wise again. Not really feeling all up to par this morning. But, you know, I have more good days than bad days, so that's always a good thing. Anyway, going back to the jobs. My first actual paying job on the books, aside from a paper route, was I worked at a supermarket. It's ShopWise supermarket. My sister had gotten me the job, and that's when we had to have working papers, because I was underage, and I think I was about 14 or so. And so we had working papers. That should bring you back a little bit. And I just had to laugh when I was working. When you said the petroleum engineer, we used to come up with terms like that for job applications and for interviews, and they would ask us, you know, what was that? And we would just dance around it, but we always just maybe really laughed going back to the petroleum engineer, because we had all sorts of terms for simple jobs. And I always had stuff off the books. But anyway, my first real paying job that paid a lot more than the military was when I did elevators. The military was kind of to keep my butt out of trouble at the time, even though I enjoyed the military and I ended up staying for quite a while. That's not the reason why I went in. I always wanted to go in, but I wanted to go in kind of on my terms, not for the terms that I went under. But anyway. But my first real paying job was when I worked in the elevator industry as an elevator technician. And we used to refurbish elevators in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx. I loved that job. And as a teenager, I was watching, it was my early 20s. I was making then about 80 to 90,000 a year doing elevators. And then when I went into a unionized shop, we made with the overtime, I should say overtime with side jobs. We always had side jobs. So you asked about side jobs. We always had some sort of side job going on no matter what job I had. If I was working in auto mechanics or whatever work, whenever we used to pick other people's cars and I used to go to their houses, they needed a break stud. That was a big job I used to do all the time, breaks, oil changes, replacing batteries. I used to do that for people all the time. And I never really charged anybody anything. They used to just give me what they felt that was worth it."},{"callsign_confidence":0.98,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-05T07:32:44+00:00","id":14285,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":14284,"text":" Okay, um, I know I missed somebody.

I got N7RHV, AG7MR, JC7YFV, VA6DRZ, V01UKD, Short Time DC3FDX, N0HC, VE4YYL, and JG7WA. So let's go up to our Short Timer, V01UKD. Hey, good morning, Darrell. How you doing, buddy? Wow, I started talking without pushing the button. That doesn't work. I just wanted to jump in and say hello, Art, and wish you a good morning. And that goes for everybody on the net. I hope everybody's having a good round out for the weekend, or a good start for the weekend, I guess you could say. Because it's only Saturday morning, yet Saturday and Sunday left yet. I haven't done any camping yet this year, strangely enough. I like to go camping from time to time. It's not something I, you know, have got to do 365 days a year or anything, but camping is definitely nice from time to time. Other than that, man, I just wanted to let you say hello, so I'll put it back to you. 7-3, V01UKD. I thought I was done. Sorry. Hey, Darrell, yeah, you kind of froze things up a little bit, so there you go. So I had to wait for right y'all to get you just so there you go so I can get back in here. But anyhow, buddy, if you can hear me, take care, buddy. And we will talk at you later. 7-3 for now, and have yourself a great day. So with that, let's see. Let's move up to the top of the list. M7, RHC. Hey, good morning, family. How you doing? I'll see what happens. I brought them all with me. Good and fine, those jackkins. And then I come in and there they are. Everybody can probably get that from getting a cup of coffee, like you said, or tea. In my case, just a little bit of water because I haven't crawled out of the sack yet. And the water bottle is the first thing I grab in the morning to get rid of that dry mouth from that CPAP machine. So, yeah, but then I can talk. Trying to talk with that thing around there, my daughter calls me and asks, Oh, the internet isn't working. Like, I'm going to do something about it at 10 o'clock at night? I don't think so. You know, you're not going to get a hold of anybody and try to talk with them. But it was fun. So I finally got a treat. I'll worry about it in the morning. I ain't worrying about it tonight. So anyway, I went to the ticker doctor yesterday. Everything's kosher with him. And I'm doing good, I guess. So, but he wants to bring it up to date. He wants to do an echocardiogram somewhere down the road. And it's been a while. So everybody's happy. I'm happy. Happy pappy. Oh, wow. So that's it. I haven't got a whole heck of a lot starting to ramble. So there you go. Grab one of those micro bandwaps. There we go. Now the mic's 99.9% germ free for the next 24. And seven RHV back to net. All right. Thanks a lot for wiping down the bike. Yeah. There goes out there in the middle of the night. You can do about it. So there you go. The only thing you can do is get on their site and see if maybe there's an outage somewhere. That's about all you can do. Just go to sleep. That's one way to get all the kids off the Internet. Shut them all down at night. So there you go. So they have no choice but to go to bed. All right, pappy. Thanks a lot for checking in. Let's go down here and try 87 MR. Good morning, Mr. Terry. How you doing? This is repeater station. All right. I'm going on here this morning. We're going up to about 87 degrees here. I have a track. I got sunshine. So that means that the clouds are already dissipating this morning. And that's a lot of going on. I'm looking for packages. All this government stuff. The VA line. I ordered some space for me from the VA. They won't be until Tuesday. And the other ones are already going away. It's going to be an interesting weekend anyway. So as of now we're doing pretty good. And the fire up in Oak Ridge on the East side of Oak Ridge is almost contained. The last time I heard from my brother who's on the family beach. I think while we were shot I got a feeling that the railroad probably started it. Because the railroad tracks are actually going to be there. Anyway, maybe we finally got one in the fire dock and the ridge. Alpha-epicosaur and micro-omeovac. And ATH, so in the group. Thank you for bringing me in because you can't pick me up. Alpha-epicosaur and micro-omeovac tonight. Hi there Mr. Terry. Good to hear you this morning. I don't know. I don't think I heard what started that one up there. I don't know if it was. Was it trains or maybe a lightning strike or something? But it's hard to tell. So we'll say 73 to you and we will talk at you later. With that let's move on down to the K-7 YFE. Dale, good morning. Well, top of the morning there aren't any rest of the net. Well I just about gave you the wrong call so I named ATH-J, K-7 YFE. And I figured I'd get up out of that nice comfortable bed. Put my shoes on my feet. Then get up and get some coffee down now. I don't want to be lazy. I was going to go to breakfast this morning but I might make it that way over at Denny's. Where they usually have it every Saturday morning. But transportation being a travel problem, it makes you a problem to try to get over there. Since I live way across town from Denny's restaurant. And yeah, I've walked over there a couple times. With one hand for a good walk I'll tell you. Otherwise the day seems to be kicking off okay. We're getting a good start here. Coming into the net and saying hello to everyone here. That's pretty much all I got. So I encourage all to keep coming back and keep up the good work. And with that I'm going to have to go get a little bit of coffee. So I'm going to go ahead and send the mic back to you. And drop it for us while we're doing a little extra wipe down of it there. Micro-band wipes always come in handy. Better than just as good as a spray. But the spray goes everywhere. The wipes, they put the chemical or whatever right where it's supposed to be. In case you suffer while I beat back to you. Alright there Dale, alright Dan. Go make yourself another pot of coffee. And hey coffee is always good. Good first cup in the morning. So there you go. The stronger the better is what I say. So anyhow Mike you take care. And well maybe you'll get over there to Demi's and get breakfast this morning with the guys. So there you go. So we'll say 73 for you from us here at UJ Chair buddy. And we will talk with you later. Alright with that let's move on down to VA6-GRZ. Hey Bill good morning. November 8th. Tango Hotel Juliet VA6-GRZ returning. Hi Art. Everybody on the net? Yeah I actually decided to get up early this morning. Get back up a little bit early this morning. Had my breakfast already. I got my visual therapy appointment at 1020. So I wanted to come down here on the net for a bit. And go talk to another ham on the radio that I have talked to in a while there. So and of course there's no action happening on 6 meters. So anyway oh we've got currently 16 degrees, 525, 1677 Fahrenheit. Sun and cloud, 30% chance of showers and possibly thunderstorms. Probably tonight. That's usually when it all comes out. So and we'll go shop and after I get back from my my physiotherapy appointment. Yeah it was fun. It was kind of interesting Joe talking to Missy about foot and ankle injuries. So I'm living that right now. It's like okay I can't keep doing this ice on ice off BS for keeping the swelling down. Or get rid of it. So we'll see what the physiotherapist has to say. Unless everybody out there knows. I know salt is not good for swelling. So forget about the Epsom salts in cold water. Won't work. So there we go. Okay 73 everybody. Have yourselves a great day. Any THJ VA 6th chair in Edmonton, Alberta. Alright dear Bill. Alrighty buddy. Thanks a lot for checking in. Hopefully your ankle gets better and stuff like that. So yeah I know. Every once in a while my wife will bring me a tub of Epsom salt water back here. So I can stick my right foot in there and try to get whatever swelling is in there down. So there we go. But we'll talk at you later buddy. You take care. Alright with that let's move on down here to VE3FBX. Good morning. How you doing? Good morning. It is VE3FB. Bravo X. Morning's getting going. Coffee's done. Just about to start reorganizing and re-wiring my little shack. I'm a new ham so going through things a few times and getting everything set up. Gonna be around this thing all day but gonna have my hands full. Back to med control. Alright dear Bentley. Alright buddy. Good to hear you in. Thank you very much for correcting me on that one and that's what happens when... When I don't pull the cotton out of my ears. So there you go. War turned up to a zero day. It's one of the two. But we got your call corrected in the log. So there you go. Alright buddy you take care. Get that shack straightened around the way you want to do it. And we will talk at you later buddy. Take care. With that let's move on down here to N0HC. Hey good morning Clem. How you doing? This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November... Good morning King Arthur. N0HC. What's wrong with that? Anyway I'm looking at my dog."},{"callsign_confidence":1.0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T07:18:41+00:00","id":15764,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":15763,"text":" Yep, I'm not saying no.

So there you go, Bill. Other than that, how much else? I'll turn it back to you, Bill, so we can get over to the worldwide friendship. So everybody have a great day and a great week coming up. So, oh yeah, one thing for dear that I've been watching. I'm going to go in and watch a baseball game. Here's a baseball game going on between your brother and Nova Scotia right now and the game from St. John's. So I'm going to go watch that. So with that, back to you, Bill. Have a great day and a great week. Well, Peter, pay sure to wish your mom a happy birthday from all of us here at the Junior Up In Met. And that does draw the Junior Up In to conclusion. Be aware that when we join the worldwide friendship net, it is in process. Wait for their net control operator to call for new check-ins before throwing out your call sign. It makes everything smoother, and it makes them happy, and it makes us happy. But please do stick around and join the worldwide friendship net. I'm sure they'd love to hear from you. Hi, this is N9OFU calling the call up on the net to a close. And I'm going to let Daryl reconnect us to the worldwide friendship net on the Michigan conference. And we'll catch you out here tomorrow morning, bright and early. See you then. Welcome to the Michigan conference number 96170, located in Western Michigan. Hey, Daryl, it's short time, so I'll move you to the top of the list. And Mel, PB7PVW made that route. Hello there with a gale, our short timer, P0ECK. Good morning. Well, good morning, everybody. Just stopping in to say hello. We are in Houston. I'm at a conference. But just wanted to send greetings and hope everybody has a wonderful day. Talk to you all later. K0ECK, back to you. All right there, gale. I hope you get everything out of the conference there. And enjoy your time in Houston. Thanks for taking time out of your day while you're traveling to be with us here on the net. All right, I'll go to the top of the list there with Joe, KK7Z. Good morning there, Joe. Hey, good morning, Adriana. Everybody on the net here on Las Vegas. And I just got back from 45 miles on the bike. It was nice, a little warm. 88 degrees when I left the house. But yeah, it was nice. Nice morning. I learned a little heat. Little bit of wind, not too much. And hi, Darrell. Good morning, Darrell. He just sent me a text. So if you could put Darrell on the list there, V01UKZ. We appreciate that. What else did I get to report? Nothing really. I don't know what I'm going to do today. I'm feeling kind of worn out. I didn't have the fastest ride in the world. Neither was my one a few days ago. You know, I had a couple of weeks there where I was like doing record times by myself. I'm like, what the heck is going on? Every ride I'm going out there, I'm going faster and faster and faster. I don't know, a little struggle today. But hey, you know what? It's not how far you go or how long you ride. It's as long as you ride or do whatever you're doing. So there you go. Anyway, I'm just here in the background. And I'll send it back to you. So Joe, I'll ask you to use KK7Z next minute. All right, there, Joe. Thanks for letting me know about Darryl V01. You can see I've added you to the list here. And yeah, sounds like you had a great bicycle ride, a little bit warm there. But good job on getting out there and doing that. So do you have a good rest of your Sunday there, Joe? And great hearing from you this morning. All right, next on my list, I've got Glenn K6 TKR. Good morning, Glenn. Good morning, Joe. Good morning, Gina. Everybody else on the net. And Gina, it's always nice to be on your debt here on a Sunday morning. I had a great day out at the hangar. Had a full day out there. Couple of things. The hangars are really huge. It housed a C-130 aircraft. And so the kind of the shady side of the hangar was nice and cool. The sunny side of the hangar was blazing hot and humid. And unfortunately, that's where our Jenny Assembly shop is. And yeah, it was just a kind of a sweaty, hot, hot day. So I pulled in some large fans so that the students just wouldn't melt away while they were working. And that helped quite a bit. But they got a lot done. And we had about 20 new students that came in that are replacing those that graduated. So they were getting all familiar with the process and getting to know their teams and work with them. They fit right in. It was just absolutely perfect. So anyway, today is going to be a bit more relaxing. We're going to head off to church here in a couple hours. And then usually on Sunday, we'll find a place to grab a quick lunch together as a family and make a nice day of it. So with that, Glenn and Irvine, K6TKR back in there. This is repeater station kilo kilo. I'm sure those students appreciated having to leave those fans in there. It's so good at summertime a bit roasting in those giant hangers. So at least they've got a space to work on their projects and undercover there. But yeah, the heat can be a problem. We were at the county fair yesterday. And they had the huge mobile fans in all the animal barns. And some of them had misters and moistures, things built into them. So they're a little cooler than a regular fan. But yeah, summertime and then having to work in the heat inside of a closed building. So I'm sure again, your students appreciated that. And you got a new round of excited kids there to help out on the project. So good job there, Glenn. Enjoy your Sunday. And thanks for taking time to be with us today. All right, next on the list I've got Rosie and Glenn, VE4YYL and VE4GWN. Good morning. Kilo, Dada, 7G, Z, this is Victor, Akafoya, and Lima. Good morning, Gina. And good morning to the lovebirds. And but out there and oh, but that's for sure. If you could have won one on that one, that would have been a nice party. That's for sure. Wow. $30,000. Yeah. I would love that too. Hey, we could have gotten to get together. That's for sure. So we would have had a big party. Oh, wow. Yeah. However, it didn't happen. So oh, well, maybe one day. You never know. And hello to everyone else on the frequency. So not too much that. And I will pass the mic over to my lovely husband. Bye."},{"callsign_confidence":0.94,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-12T07:39:53+00:00","id":16394,"node_number":"oldsys","recording_id":16393,"text":" Sun shining out there, it's gonna be near 100 degrees today here in Sherwood Forest.

Even during the day on these hot days, I'm in Tigard, so it's going to be another 100 degree day, but I'm out on the porch early with my coffee, and it's 68 degrees, and just glorious. So, yeah, I love this time of year. And even on into September and even October. As you all know that live here, the rains will come, and starting in November, it's a whole different type of living. But I'm taking it while I can get it and really enjoying it. I'm having a lot of fun. Quick break. I'm back. Well, some fun. Diagnosing the furnace in my ancient Winnebago. It would not ignite on my first trip this summer. Hopefully it will work on my next trip in September. But, you know, these old folk girls, mine's 40 years old. You've got to have them. They require a lot of tender, loving care to keep you on the road. But that's part of the fun. Anyway, thank you very much, and back to net, and let that long list of other callers have at it.
