You know, I can agree with just about all of that. You put it in a very good way. Like I was trying to say, yeah, it's not on the scale of super riots by any means, but they're all pockets. I mean, I can name off a few cities like you did. I mean, Broadview, it was a little bit larger than just a few. Broadview at the beginning of this week, end of last week, had a few hundred, and it got a little crazy. And here's the funny thing. I have it, I have it stored on my phone because I took video of it from the feed. There are people who are dropping off plywood shields and helmets and bats and things like that being dropped off. I mean, I've watched it. I've watched a van, a van pull up, them open the doors and then pull out a handful of wooden shields, put them on the ground and drive off. I've watched it. And so that's why I kind of pressed gray a little bit about Portland is because I understand it's not showing up in some of the newspapers and I understand it's not being reported on mainstream hardly at all, if at all. But I'm visually watching it every night with my own eyes, live streaming, which tells me they don't have a chance to edit it. Okay. They don't have a chance to put a narrative on it because they're live streaming. What you see is what you get. That's why I watch them. And that's why I believe what I believe rather than what the media is telling me to believe on the riots. There are pockets of Antifa or terrorists or bad people, whatever you would like to call them. There are pockets. And I agree with you also that not all Democrats are a part of that. However, I would also challenge you to admit that not all conservatives are MAGA. I mean, if we're going to be fair, let's be fair about it. I myself like to consider myself more centered than, than, than left leaning or right leaning. However, I know I do lean to the right making me therefore a conservative, which is okay. I'm good with that title. However, I'm not a MAGA guy by any means. So it would, it would be the same logic back and forth. You know, not all Democrats are bad. Yeah. Not all Republicans are bad either. And that's where I think we need to meet in the middle. That's where we need to find unity. It's between the Democrats who aren't Antifa and inherently bad and the Republicans who aren't, you know, Trump fanatics, drinks to Kool-Aid or whatever you would say. And those groups of people, they can come to a compromise. You see that's, that's where I continue to say this country, divorce is not an option. All right. I'm moving to the next person in line, which happens to be Becky. One second real quick. Sorry. I realized I was running out of time. Becky W-1-L-I-C. The mic is yours." }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-10-03T04:55:15+00:00", "id": 52223, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 52222, "text": " Good morning Josh and everybody on the net. Yeah, you got it right, W1LIC. And morning is going well so far. Up here in Bangor, Maine, it's 38 degrees and I think it's supposed to get up around 70 something today. So, fall is definitely in the air here. My Friday is going to be doing a lot of Googling. Back, as most of you remember, back in 91, the troops came through after the desert storm came through here in Bangor, Maine. And some of them, I think it's nine of them, gave me dog tags, their dog tags and other things as well. But 34 years I've been trying to find these soldiers so I can give the dog tags back and give them to their families. I did find one, but the soldier had passed away, but I found his daughter and I was able to send the dog tags to her and that was quite emotional for me as well as her and her family. So, I'll be doing some more research on that today, trying to find the other ones and hopefully I'll be able to do that. So, if anybody on the Net has any kind of ideas of what I can do, you can always email me on QRZED, that email there. So, appreciate it. Well, I hope you all have a good weekend and 7-3 to you all. This is W1LIC. Back to you, Josh. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, All Star Node 6222. This is W1LIC. This is KJ5 IRQ. Sorry, it took a second. I was filling up my coffee. Man, that is awesome. So, I've been to Bangalore for the same purpose, funny enough. However, it was in 2003. Redeployed the unit I was in, deployed to Kuwait on February 14, 2003. Valentine's Day, that's how come I remember it so well. And that's the day that my unit in the 82nd Airborne deployed. And we did, we landed in Bangalore. And we had to clear customs and all that weird stuff that you have to do there. Even the military does it. And that was on the trip over to Kuwait. So, that was, I had been to Bangalore, interesting enough. We got to get off the plane, go outside even. It was a pretty good little layover. And it was cold, cold. So, that's what I remember about Bangalore, Maine. I know you said 73s, but I wanted to ask Becky. This is a round robin conversation and it goes on for the next couple of hours. We usually have multiple rounds. Would you like to stay on for the next few rounds or is this a one and done? I'm going to pass it back over to you real quick." }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-10-03T04:55:39+00:00", "id": 52224, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 52223, "text": " I'll try to stay around for at least one other round.

Can you tell me I had to bring the mic a little bit closer so I can you can hear me better. Yeah, Friday's going okay. I was supposed to go to, I got a little bit of a stomach flu or something that started up and so I've been able to leave the house too far let's say. So I didn't get to go to the witch's walk last night and that's a shame because my wife said that this time they set up a whole bunch of backdrops for people to take pictures and they have backdrops of you know the witches and warlocks and ghosts and whatever else is out there during the witch's walk and I would love that because I understand they were quite awesome backdrops they really did a lot of work on them and then this morning I woke up and it was just I've been reading a manual and that's about it paid some bills but mainly reading this camera manual. I bought this camera it's a ten-year-old camera I had to pull the manual off the internet. Thank God it still exists and I'm just trying to understand all the little things that it can do and practicing a little bit trying to become a more proficient photographer when it comes to micro four-thirds but last time I was gonna take my full frame I wasn't gonna leave it a chance that takes much most definitely takes better pictures when it comes to low light. Today I'm gonna I gotta go see a doctor but not for the stomach flu but I imagine I'll mention it and I'm hoping if my stomach settles I can take my dog for a walk and what else am I gonna do today? Oh I got some wonderful news my A1c with allowing a 125 carbs a day is 6.5 you know so I'm doing good the restrictions on carbs are are less and less and I can add more and more to my diet which is awesome so I actually had a piece of English toast this morning I loved it you just got to be careful nothing more than 125 carbs a day now anyways with that looking forward to the net appreciate you being here and back to net control" }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-10-03T04:48:29+00:00", "id": 52219, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 52218, "text": " KV0MAI" }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-10-03T04:47:49+00:00", "id": 52216, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 52215, "text": " W0GL, Allen, St. Peter's, Missouri, good morning to everybody on the net, and I am in and out." }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-10-02T06:08:56+00:00", "id": 51625, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 51624, "text": " End zero BF." }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-10-02T05:39:29+00:00", "id": 51597, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 51596, "text": " My cat with a character Peter and they read back to me" }, { "callsign_confidence": 0.85, "confidence": null, "created_at": "2025-09-03T13:40:38+00:00", "id": 31511, "node_number": "oldsys", "recording_id": 31510, "text": " W1 LIC.

Good to meet everybody. Just hearing the BK station there. I was in a restaurant in New York about 10, 11 years ago and it was tasted 360 degrees. It was the Marcus Hotel, I'm sure it was the Marriott that run it at the time. I was just doing it actually and it said that there was actually closed for a period but it reopened again. It was magnificent just to eat our meal and see the views of Times Square. It slowly retreated while we ate our meal and it did the same 360 degrees. Happy days that was. Definitely wasn't a week in New York for long enough. I have to go back one day. I was there for five or six days the year before I got married and settled down. I remember my sister saying you have to go, it's her last chance to do the things that girls do before you settle. She was right, I definitely had a ball in New York but I have said I'll go back. Just talking about the Twitter bits, funny enough I've just prepared my Twitter bits for the morning. Of course it's nine o'clock in the evening here in Scotland so I'm just getting organised for going. I've organised my Twitter bits for tomorrow. I've put Twitter bits, natural Greek yoghurt and strawberries all together into a tub because I'm currently trying to watch the calorie intake a little bit and adjust my sugar levels. Steady milk and sweetener over the top of the Twitter bits. The porridge I have fruit instead so I'm on a bit of a health kick there Jack. It's getting colder as well now so the porridge will be getting eaten here in Scotland just shortly. I'm quite famous for my Scottish porridge oats of course. Traditionally I think I'm meant to have the porridge with salt but I like the porridge sweetened. I have to say I've got a bit of a sweet tooth here. Anyway, thanks for being able to set in there Jack. Good to hear all the stations calling in there as well and I wish you all a great rest of the day. Take care everyone. 70 feet and back to you there Jack in a minute." } ] }
