Well, there's just so many weird things out there where the bad guys are taking advantage of those of us who enjoy whatever and making it difficult in one way or another. I've not heard of that, of taking over the phone and robbing your calls elsewhere. That might work to your advantage, all those scam calls go to somebody else. But still not good. We had something happen, I don't know, a couple of years ago now that caused our provider to shut down our online access. They shut down one of our phone lines, we had three family plan, shut down one of our phone lines and then shut down all our online access until they were sure that everything was clear. And I had to bug them to turn it back on. We're finally back up and running, but interesting stuff. Or not so, depending how you look at it. Thank you John, have a great day.

I haven't heard that, but I don't listen to anything. Anybody calls me, I let my Google Pixel phone screen it out. And they usually hang up in seven seconds or 10. And frequently there's a voice on that that goes, hello. It's an EI voice, because it's always the same voice. And if I were to answer phone, I'll say go ahead. And then if it's not human, they'll just go, what? It's waiting for a hello. And if somebody says, or if an EI says it is Michael, I go, go ahead. Does anyone want to hear a yes? Supposedly they can use a yes as a contract agreement or something. So I just, yeah, I let the Google handle it, and it always hangs up or silent or something. It's OK. I'll report it to spam. Or try to call it back, and it goes to a message machine. It's really entertaining out there. There's someone that says a bad trick. So yeah, I can't take anybody's says or texts me or calls me about it. I just tell them send us a mail. I'll look it up there. Then it becomes mail fraud if anybody tries anything. And federal government's really on that one. Postal inspectors. Anyways, thanks for the, let me check in. I'll get out there and just milk my body into fresh air and do some yard work maybe. Yeah. Can you send me a thank you? All right. Good day to get out in the fresh air. I should do that. That's the second thing. All right, yeah, there's all kinds of weird stuff. I typically just don't answer the phone or push the, in the case of my cell phone, just push the end button, the red button. And that shuts it down.

So anyway, I was running the amp for the first time now. It does have a really nice, comes with a really nice hand. I used the H&M, so I really couldn't make it.

The poll is Quiet Comfort, which is active noise reduction. I have sent, sorry, I have to come out. And it works with the FTM500, and so I fully expect it to work with the FTX1. So that will be awesome, especially when I'm trying to do more. Because that way I won't drive the rest of the program. Crazy!

And then you said afterwards, after you took it out in the field and tried to s*** about, it wasn't quite as comfortable as you had hoped. I don't know if you're going to scrap that or if you're reworking that potentially before you go out on Bigfoot 200 or what.

I've got really nice audio reports. So far people seem to really like the mic. Hello Mike. It's got a much bigger screen than I'm used to seeing so I really like the big screen and so we're just kind of slowly orienting ourselves to where the buttons are. It's pretty much all touch screen although you don't have to. There are fewer buttons like I'm sure I'm comparing this to the FT DX you know the one that's like number two on the Sherwood report. It's got lots of buttons. This one has far fewer buttons so it's a smaller much smaller form factor. It's a heavy little dude.

Because, you know, I can program the memories, but I'd really rather have RT Systems software do it for me. Hi, hi. So, I have Lake Washington and PSRG plugged in the memories. And I think I have the six meter repeater plugged in the PSRG six meter. We'll find out if I did it right. And the front end of this is really hot. I know that because it hears all of the vocal QRM, much more so than the other two HF radios that I had, which I will be selling. I've already sold the 7300. I'm going to sell the Kenwood. And I may even sell the 90s, what is it? The Mark 2G, total tiny HF radio. Anyway, I'll probably go to the Breberton swap meet in October. I'll have to see if Robert's going and get a table next to his. And if you're going, Jack, I'll get a table next to yours. It could be fun. That's the story here. So, this is it.

You're like, oh, man, I gotta go now. And then you have to do it, and you only have a short amount of time. So I don't know. I'm gonna hold everybody. James, if you can hold just for a minute, I want to see if KBHBMY Mike is out there by chance. Mike, are you monitoring? All right, well, you might not be listening right this second, but there are a number of people that are very good at that. And so, you know, you might want to contact him, because he'd be more than happy to help you if he's gonna merit you.

I'm on the phone with the KBHBMY Mike, and I'm gonna send him an e-mail to see if he can give a couple of pointers. All right, well, continue on.

In Malt Lake, I'm gonna walk upstairs from the basement here to maybe get into the computer a little bit better. I used to 991 Alpha. I took to Maine and made some HF contracts, but I have not put it back in its rightful place, so it is not hooked up. So I'm talking to you on the valve pump. But, yeah, am I making it okay back here? Yep, please proceed. All right, great. I was a little worried there. There's a little radio deep, dark in the basement there. But, yeah, it's amazing how well this actually works. Yeah, I do it every time here, just chilling out, working from home. The blue eels are buzzed by the house several times, which I greatly enjoy. And whenever I hear them, I can run upstairs onto the deck and see if I can catch a glimpse of them. And I keep catching a little glimpse of them as they went to Eomph Malt Lake out in Lake Washington. It's a great turn. Yeah, I'll as well hear the what is it. We have chickens now, Mike. We have chickens now, we have a chicken coop and two chickens. Their names are Dora, Dora the Explorer, and Hoon, which is the German word for chicken. And they're nice little chickens. They have dinner with us every night here on the deck. We bring them up and they pluck around. And they're chickens, so they kind of poop every night. But that's all right, so we just hose off the deck every night. But yeah, they're nice little pets. I hope they'll start laying eggs here in a couple months. I think they're about three months old now. But that is the new project. I've been reading a lot about chickens and looking to get some new chickens. So anyone out there, if you have some little chickens, or a pullet, pullet is the technical term, according to a small female chicken, let us know. Because roosters are not allowed in any of them in Lake Seattle. That's a good reason. That's a great list of the net. Thanks for listening to everyone.

So that control station is K4H. My name is Hank, and we're located in Shores Campground near Beers, Michigan. That's all, I love the mountain machine coastline. This is a direct event. Please address all comments and queries to the respect control station. This event is sponsored by the Army Radio Network, and all amateurs with recognition translations or higher are encouraged to participate. For those that edit this event, plan a more famous radio operator's sharing of just their traditional vehicles to exchange information and stay in touch as a result of their training. This step may change their CD and AP and central time on the south-eastern link conference phone. Link to the N4 Adulancy Multimode Network includes W4EDP Echo Lake Repeater in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and several other repeaters in the Trastate area. And we wanna thank you and Purdue and W4EDP and the Trastate Fanister Radio Club for supporting our dog network and use their equipment. For a detailed information about the Army Radio Network, please visit our secure website at rvradionetwork.com. For additional information about the Trastate Fanister Radio Club, visit their website at trastatearc.com. I did mention that we have repeaters on here. Repeaters have got time-out timers. Please keep the transitions below three minutes so we don't time those timers out. Should use a Windows application. I always remind everybody there's a convenience or a timer somewhere for the tools to set up. You can set that transit timer up there at your device. I recommend 170 seconds, that gives you 10 seconds. Spare warning, how you get an additional 10 seconds, you'll see the pop-up comes up on your screen. The options, Windows application, and you have the streets set big enough. And you're here at home. All right, let me reset right now. This is repeater station Hilo Q7, November, Quebec, November. All-star, dose 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. If you have any questions or if you have any, or if you came to check out early, or if you have any announcements that you need to make, please call K4HM at this time."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-07-31T18:12:35+00:00","id":12143,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":12142,"text":" Alright, that's the herd there. I do want to make some announcements on behalf of the RE Radio Det work. We do have a number of nets. We have 40-meter depth every, well, six nights a week. Not on the Saturday nights, but on Sunday through Friday, 7 p.m. Central time at 1764. Silverherd is across from out of the QRM, 7254 on Sunday through Friday nights at 7 p.m. Our 40-meter depth is on two nights a week, up from the West Coast to the house. That's on Mondays and Wednesdays at 830 p.m. Pacific time, so that makes it 1030 or 1130 years over on the East Side of the country. It's also on Saturday at 6-4, plus around the QRM. We do have a plug-in here. That is on two days a week. That's our time of lunchtime, now you should call it. It's on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 and 15 a.m. Central time. That's on 14.283, again across the West, QRM, and that bed sometimes is pretty crowded, so the light of interest also is more than 250 days in front. But it's at 14283 at 11-15 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We have the multiple echo-like net that we're on right now every Thursday night at 8 p.m. And we have the RE Radio Network video net, which is on Zoom. It's making sure that's on our list of nets on the front page and also on the next page. You want to go there and see the log list of nets on the log list as well. All right, what else we got to do? We just put classified ads on our website. If you're a success, go out there and get something to fill, put something out there, and if there's something back there, look, there's not much out there yet, but I'm sure it'll grow. Upcoming events, we got the only thing we got on the list right now coming up is the fall rally. The 2025 Army in fall Abol Rally will be at Brawling Lake Resort, San Antonio, Texas on October 12-17. It's October 12-17 in Texas, and the information is on our website. It goes on the main page of the Abol Rally, 2025 Army in fall Abol Rally. That's the link for more information. All right, that's all I got in the way of announcements. Let's see, we got to pick up a couple more stations on the list. RDF, we have a topic tonight. The topic is what boxes you made to your RV. For those of you that have not been here before, we do two passes through the net. We use NetLoner. If you're familiar with NetLoner, you'll know about it. If you're not, you can go to NetLocker.org. There will be a list of all the nets out there that are currently running. Let me reset you. You can see that on their website. You can find the nets you want to check into. It will tell you the frequency and who is in that control. If you want to actually follow the nets, you can download the software and it runs on your computer. You can see who is talking and who is up next, what their number is, where they're located, all that kind of stuff. It's easy to be able to follow along with a net that way. We use it for all of our nets. I think the fit we do for the pass is too good at the thicker. We just go down to that loader list and set it on the net control and pass it on to one person to the next. It's called a lightening round because it goes pretty fast. Or a 70-free round because everybody is saying goodbye. It's a chance to answer questions that somebody might have asked after the first turn. Or to pose a question that you forgot to ask. It's kind of like a ketchup. I do see we have NY-50 Joe on the line and we have KF1P Robert. We've also picked up NANS Bill and 4AHO Doug and J3JB John. I'll get to you guys on the list. Right now, mods I've made. About the most significant mod I guess I've made was LED lighting. I've gone through the coach and replaced almost everything with LED. The rest of the coach is pretty much like a game except for the addition of knives, ham radio equipment, hand pins on the back of the coach. Can't say for anything else. So, hands up. He's got some core. Things like that. He's taking jobs. That's all I've done. I'm lazy. I was happy with Coach. We've done it.

A little bit of an audio problem coming through it. We have a 2007 fleetway Jamboree, 31 footer. And it was a restoration project, so really no mods except putting in LED lighting. And then I didn't like the idea that the lights, you had to get a step ladder to get up to the ceiling to turn them off and on. And that got to be a big hassle. So I got a four channel remote control with latching relays. And then went through. And of course, while I was at it, had the whole electric panel pulled out. Went ahead and pulled out about 20 feet of 30 gauge bromex and a bunch of other wire. Found out some other stuff. But the biggest upgrade I made was putting in a remote switch where you don't have to come in and then really get a step ladder, turn lights on. There's one at the door, one by the bed, one in the kitchen area. So anywhere you are, you can turn any of the lights off and on. That was the biggest mod we made. Then of course, didn't go through the electric and ripped out a bunch of wire. And then those stupid outlet connectors that they got that you have the bromex push through. They were actually using one of those for a junction box. I looked at that. I mean, I also went ballistic when I found it. And put in a real metal box with the proper clamps on it and all that. And then did it the proper way. In other words, I'm not a big fan of those push on outlets where you lay the bromex in and use the quote special tool unquote to push it. That to me just, I don't know, is just looking for trouble. We've only got three more of those to change out. Not just do them a little bit at a time because there's not much room behind them to do any work. That's the thing that I'm doing on it. But ours is a restoration. And we did paint the inside and upgraded the uphold. It'll be there tomorrow. It's just a door. Hiding the rear. It's a beautiful bargain.

And it's really, really nice, except that the Northwest is on fire at the moment. And so it's very hazy, and the firefighting aircraft are flying over, and kind of an interesting place to be at the moment. We're not in the line of fire, so to speak, but it is an interesting place to be. With regard to MOTS, nothing too exciting on ours. So the first thing I did was upgrade the turn signals on the back of the coach to high-intensity LED amber ones, because we have a gas motor home, and we tow a jeep, and that doesn't work really well in the mountains sometimes. So if we're going too slow and running with the fourways, I wanted to make sure people could see them. And when we go to change lanes, it's helpful as well, obviously. Still working on antennas, currently an ATOS 120 on the back, on the ladder. I've got a little Tar Heel II that I may be using in the future, still looking at that. And while we're here in Washington, I've got a 7x16 cargo trailer that I'm building up as a kind of communications and workshop area, so I'm excited to be able to do that here pretty soon.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm about in the same situation as everybody else. Not done much. Hardly anything really added a second battery. It's just a 20-foot travel trailer. Pretty simple thing, a 2020. Already had LED lighting everywhere, things like the surface of the sun. We can turn them all on. Amazingly bright. And batteries can go a pretty long time with that, and that bridge that it's got, very good size. So anyway, we're happy with it, except some of the cushions could sure be modified. They haven't kept their shape or anything, and they were cheaper than the previous year's model, so we're hoping to upgrade those. But anyway, we're just going out for another trip for a few days, so I'm down by one of the local lakes up here. And not far from home, got better state girls. But that's about it. The only thing I might do is something for radio, but it's so small that my wife is watching TV, doesn't know where I can go, except to the bathroom. She doesn't want to run a radio from in there.

I've got it wedged up against the control for the tarheels, if you've ever, holding it where it is. Between the two of them, there's a little bit of a curve at the edge there. I've got it wedged in there where it can't move pretty well. The radio's sitting actually beside the driver's seat on the floor, so here I'm actually sitting up a little bit off the floor. You can never doubt how we get some water in there. I don't want the radio sitting in the water. If we have a sign out coming in, I'd drop some water on the floor down there. I don't want the radio to be getting wet. That's happened a couple of times. It moved right after a heavy rain. We're forced not out here. You can't get to it from the outside because it's got a chopper on it. It comes inside. I can reach up there with a mop or something and dry it out pretty well, take a brew, and push the towel up in there. Anyway, that's radio installation now that we consider that to be a mod. I guess it probably is. Anyway, that's all I got for that. Unlike you, though, I've got a chair I'm sitting in. It's supposed to be padded, but it feels like I'm sitting on a rock and padding all the way down there. Of course, this is an original chair. It originally came with the coach.

It's still noisy in there but nothing like it was before. So that was the first main thing. Then we just recently had to, things aren't really up to towing anything substantial, but we wanted to use a trailer hitch style bike rack for a couple of e-bikes. So we actually had it reinforced, the frame reinforced back to that so that we could handle that. I'm still not really going to, but I actually took it on a trip with a lot of the bikes and so far it seemed to be okay. And had the spare tire moved to underneath to accommodate that. And well really not a whole lot else. We did replace the interior lights with LEDs and we'll probably do all the exteriors too eventually, especially headlights and taillights.

I've done some repairs, some minor repairs, but not really modifications. A couple of mods that were made for me, first of all, we thought because we found out that the electronics, your shore power, monitoring, and all that had been stripped down. I think stripped out, apparently the transfer switch had gone bad and somebody replaced it with one that didn't have the electronic monitoring built into it, so the display was telling the coach that it was blank and didn't show anything. I did have one that I had put in myself on the coach that we traded to get this one, so I just had to pull the one out of there and put it in here. I don't know if you call that a mod or not, but it was a fix really. He also mentioned the cracking and peeling paint kind of thing. We had diamond shields on the front of the coach when we bought it. It'll still look two, it was eight years old, but shortly thereafter, that last thing, we were at eight to ten years before it started showing signs and problems. Over the next three years or so, it just got terrible. It looked like he'd been through a mud bath or something on the front that he couldn't do with it. It gets molded between the cracks down in there and it wound up having had it stripped off. They put something else that's nowhere near as heavy as what the diamond shield is. I don't know how long it's going to last, but anyway, they put a very light coating of some kind of protectant on it. We'll see how that works. That was a couple of repairs we had done. I don't recall what it was. All right, let's see what Marty is doing. Marty, tell us about us."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-07-31T18:47:09+00:00","id":12167,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":12166,"text":" And I'm going to get into the game. I've got to mention that the older Fleetwood products did not have transfer switches in them. And I said, I'll put it in. I'll put it in. We were up camping outside Brevard, North Carolina. And it rained. It rained. I said, well, I'm going to have to get outside and plug it into the pedestal because I always left it unplugged from the generator. There was one of the bays. There's a place where you plug in if anyone's familiar with the old ones. So after that trip, I said, I'm not going through this again. If it's fainted, I want to be able to crank up the generator until it stops. Well, that was another taking in itself. But that was one other mod that it did. Plus, the flooring, we ripped out the linoleum that was in there, if you want to call it that good. And we put in plank, not LVT. We put in wood flooring on top of the subfloor that was there. And it has really held up very, very well. But otherwise, it's just been a little bit here, a little bit there that we do to bring things a little more to our liking where we can boondock in comfort. That was the only other mod besides the big mod that it did besides getting rid of the push-on electric junk and some non-UL breakers that had gotten slipped in there at the factory. Other stuff, it's been minor things. Anyway, thank you, Hank, K4HEM. And this is KF1D, N8EMS. You're up next, Phil. And this is KF1P. KF1D from N8EMS, thank you very much. Yeah, we also have a Fleetwood. And I forgot to mention the HEM batteries. That was a plus. Getting ready to do a coach battery neck or a chassis battery neck. It's a little unhappy here lately. But generally pretty happy with the coach. We've had some issues, but more repairs than modifications, really more than anything. It's a good coach overall. Enjoying the net. Thank you, Hank, for your help as always. Appreciate it. 73 All, N8EMS. Next up, we have N8. Where did he go? AHODuck, N4. I'm sorry, AHODuck. You're up. N4, AHO. Thank you. Didn't go anywhere.

Certainly not something that you want to realize when you're driving home on the West Seattle Bridge, one of the few places in Seattle where people go above the speed limit. Let's see, sounds like you were a good friend otherwise in addition to your Good Samaritan act today. Thank you very much for helping a friend get new glasses. That's a daunting task and it's nice to have someone sort of as your wing person to help you out. And let's see what else, oh yeah, I also have been attending other things instead of cleaning my room and so yeah, good luck to both of us in the days ahead to get our own lives under control. Tim, thanks so much for kicking us off, that was KI7ZEI. We're going next to KA9E8V and how are you tonight?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-07-31T21:19:35+00:00","id":12202,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":12201,"text":" I've been all over the place. One of my friends got out of the hospital yesterday. And today they wanted to go out and try to find some new glasses. They had a problem with glasses lately. So I took them and helped them with their appointment. And they picked out some glasses. And that was lots of fun. It doesn't really sound like fun, does it? But I enjoyed it. And then went and picked up some mints for someone else and didn't have a chance to get up for those. And I just spent a busy day today trying to organize things for myself. And I still got my apartment to clean up. So I'll keep putting that off tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm going to work on my apartment for at least three hours, I promise. And not that anybody cares, but that'll be a big event for me, a big accomplishment if I can actually get some stuff organized. And instead of having this HD as my only radio here in the car, I'm going to definitely have a full power radio in my car tomorrow. Yes, yes, that's my main goal. Thank you, thank you. Oh, and when I was in the parking lot today helping a friend pick out some glasses, there was this car there parked just down by Westside. Yeah, Westside. There's the marina there. And I saw this car. And I looked over and I go, boy, it looks like a really flat tire. And I went over and checked the tire. And I thought, man, they better not drive on that. It looks like it had less than 5 PSI in it. So I left a note on the window. And then I went and looked at the tire again. And actually, I went to put some air in it. I know you should never touch anyone's vehicle. But I mean, driving it the way it was, it would have been dangerous. So I took an old-fashioned tire pump and was putting some air in it. And I could hear air leaking out. And I took a closer look. And there was a big gash in the sidewall. So I pinned in the note to say, hey, you got a gash in the sidewall. You cannot drive this car. And alerted them to that. So I guess that was my good deed for the day. I don't know. Poking my nose there probably didn't belong. But I didn't want someone driving in a hazardous car. So I'm going to fly out half a moon and get out there and enjoy the evening.

I personally, I know Seattle Transit could be better, but I also think that having lived in Southern California, we're pretty lucky to have the transit that we do up here.

We do it on every Thursday, and we have one more rehearsal next Thursday before we have a gig at the Seattle Art Museum on Saturday through the day. We'll be playing or singing, singing in the, I don't know, the lobby, the atrium, but alternating back and forth between the Path with Art Singers, they have the first set, then a 10-minute break, then we do a 20-minute set, then we have another 10-minute break, and we go back and forth like that through the day until, I think, 2 in the afternoon or something. I think, I forget exactly, five sets. So, and we'll be singing, and I think your space will be underneath the cloud sculptures that are up hanging from the ceiling. Best I did today, oh, and then went to a friend Nick's house with my friend Randy, and he's got a really nice place here on the hill, and he set us off with some rice crackers from Costco, little packets, you know, the size of those, like little peanut butter crackers or something, but they're rice crackers, very lightweight and just perfect. I don't know if you like those rice crackers, Ben, but I think they're delicious. And it's just huge, enormous, you know, in the Path with Costco, the way Costco does things. But, you know, I feel like a trip to Jemiah's in store is in my near future, and I've used up my time, well actually I haven't, I've only used two minutes. But it's a quiet evening here midweek in Capitol Hill, and it's a nice time of the evening where the sky is still bright enough to see that it's the sky up there, and Bobby Moore's playing field at Calenderson Park is alight with the playing field lights, which makes it kind of fun. It's like, it's more like a colony, an asteroid or something, a lava tube, and we have the artificial lights making it seem like it's outside when it's not.

And then the steam indicator had a great little ride on the seat cycle. And we finally finalized the plans. Then it hit the final idea for how we're going to put lights on it. We're going to put lights on it so it can go out after sunset. And so we finally figured that one out. We're going to get some battery marine lights on there. Green on the right on the starboard. Red on the port side. And white light to the rear. And we're going to be able to go out anytime we want to after dark. And today would have been a good one because it's still 77 degrees here.

Anyway, so I was down there, spent an hour out on the deck watching them depart and land and had Albert come and go. The new Super Hornets are just incredibly loud, much louder than the old F-18. And when they go out at the flight of four or six, it hurts. It's painful. So I don't blame the animals anyway. But took a lot of pictures. That was my whole thing today. Took the long lens. And then in March, the last yesterday, I went out and got my anytoil fine. I got it all sorted out, the A78, and had a great contact through the space station, a repeater with a gentleman up in Fairbanks, completely solid, and also somebody up in Arlington here. We're in the same path. But it was a Spanish with a Fairbanks guy. As it comes this direction, I could hear him. He could hear me. And we weren't loaded up by stuff further east. But happy to find that works. He used my aero antenna. I've got an out log. I'm going to try as well. But the aero was a little lighter, just more cumbersome to put together in a symbol. Anyway, that's about it. I'm going to go to the museum on Sunday. It'll be a long day down there. I don't think I'll take a big camera. I've got to see them fly. And I'll leave the space to people who want to be out there indefinitely. Anyway, if somebody says the sound of freedom, we're glad we have them. We don't want to chase them away. But I know what people mean. They're very, very loud if you have animals. It's like 4th of July is now so much nicer for our animals than it used to be. We've got all the fireworks.

We are going to draw the line right there. We're going to go back up to the top of this list. We're going to hear from our first recheck of the night and KA9-EHC. Back to you. Good evening Ben and thanks for putting up with the recheck. I wanted to comment about Keys because this actually is an interesting discussion. Since Elaine is in there, she's another musician and I think there's at least one other musician who's checked in. So the reason that Keys matter for this particular album project is that I'm playing a harp that's only going to range about 3 1-2 octaves. It's 25 strings. And it thus has a limited number of things you can do for contrast. So it's interesting. It doesn't matter whether you're playing background music or putting together an album or playing a concert. The music moves forward by increasing tension, increasing tempo, or contrasting tempos and contrasting keys. On a small harp, changing keys is often the only way that you can usefully change the range of the harp you're playing. So a lap harp can sound awfully high and whatever if you play in one of its mid-range keys all the time because it'll take notes clear into the upper octave. A lot of people don't like that. So the key thing isn't trivial. And so you want to balance. If only you balance the time that you spend in each key. And that may be the clue that I'm waiting for. I have a seven minute whatever saying it's a thing we know of Christmas matched with a jig that I wrote. And that saying is wrong. And it may be enough of a contrast that I can drop something out of that D minor thing without too much difficulty. So I'm just going to play with it. But that's why the key thing matters. And anyway, that's all I had to add. 73 73 88. Love you all.

And that's exactly what I did tonight. And it's really cheesesteak omelet, and it was really, really good. And french fries, that's all I wanted, and I only could eat half of that. So that's, like I said, lunch for tomorrow. All the critters are doing good. They're all settled down for the night. And not much else. I did want to say that I always bring so much from A&E, and I had no idea how many different hearts there are, and the different number of strings and everything, and it's always a great thing to listen to because I was learning so much. And I stopped playing four years ago, playing my sax four years ago when I had to have a vowel replaced in my heart. And I tried playing again after, which they said I could do, but it just didn't work out, so I had to stop. But I'm still wearing a lot of my t-shirts that I have, and the one that I'm sure Anne will appreciate is I don't make mistakes when I play. I make creative, spontaneous decisions. And I love that one. So everyone have a great night, and a good day tomorrow. And tomorrow's always the day that tomorrow is the, let's get this right.

So thank you very much. I did not talk about keys but now that you're talking about the range of your instrument I did take a couple of years of banjo and that is a sort of a drawback of a five string banjo is there's not really much range and when you're trying to play things that have not necessarily been written for a banjo, maybe for a guitar or something like that, you find yourself sometimes limited by the key.

However, I am going to point out that after I didn't know anything else had gone down until I got home and I find this message on my phone, are you okay? Because you didn't answer. So it turned out KJ7R got a little concerned and kept blaming me messages. And I finally answered him and said, I'm fine. Why? And he says, well you're still alive right? And I said, yeah I'm still alive. So any tales or mentions in the news of my having not be alive is that with someone else. So otherwise I am doing fine and apparently somebody else that had the same first name as me is not so fine and stuck in memory right now. So I'm not sure what the deal is there. But I am fine. So I told him it is greatly exaggerated and that yeah, they can't keep me out of the other place downstairs because it keeps kicking me out. So keeping it clean and presentable for a wide ranging audience. I'm still here and I can still be funny because I gotta be me. You guys can't get rid of me this easy. But I'm having a good time. Although it is a little on the muddy side. KJ7EXM back to Ned. ... ... Alright folks, you heard it. Laundry room downstairs. Well Sean I'm glad that you are alive and kicking and doing pretty well.

Don't often participate in the net. Usually just lurk but thought I would get in today as everybody has talked about. Saw the Blue Angels today watching westbound from Pike Place Market. You can't really see too well. I tried to listen to some of their radio comms. I was able to pick up some on 305.5 megahertz. But it was a little too wee for me to hear here. I'm getting ready to go back to my home town. I'm from Alabama, Louisiana. So I'll be heading back down there in the next couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to riding along with my old police department. I was a police officer in college and so I'm going to do some ride alongs down there. I've been trying to program new radios that I got in order to participate in some of the two meter nets and port 40 nets down there. And what I found was the new version of the radios that I bought do not work with chirp. So programming is really a pain having to use a phone app and dealing with CSVs and all kind of stuff. I am a professional software engineer so I actually looked into extending chirp support to these new radios. But what I found is that a lot of work to be done because there is no connectivity model for bluetooth with chirp and so that's the only way to program these new radios. And the UVPro protocol has not been reverse engineered yet. It could be quite an undertaking."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-07-31T22:16:09+00:00","id":12242,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":12241,"text":" I hope you had a beautiful sunset and you said that you were looking westbound so I would imagine that you had a pretty good sunset.

And you said you were from Alabama, Louisiana and I was like that's the same Louisiana. And I was like no, there's two different states. So wherever you're from down there, I hope you enjoy your visit and your coming up and your ride along, whatever you're doing. And it's wild that two radios do not support her, but I guess they'd use the other way around here because it supports two radios. Every once in a while I find a radio and I get worried that's going to happen and so far I've lucked out because of what I haven't checked beforehand. So yeah, thanks to the last piece of the treaty you end up with a little bit of elbow grease into making that accessible down the road for other people because seven is not supported I bet it's just a matter of time as it tends to be with ham radio operators who start to scream away at opportunities like this.

Robert, how are you today? Yes, good evening everyone on the net. This is Robert, E7W. I had a good Thursday and actually was just sitting out on my front porch during the first round and watching the sunset, which is nice. It's about done now and the bugs are coming out so I'll probably head in soon, but at least get this check in and done before I head back in. It was a good day. We went out to the Cottage Lake pool and it was quite entertaining because my wife is out of town so it was the first time taking all three kids out swinging by myself, but it actually turned out great. The kids are finally at a point where they're confident swimmers and we all had a good time and that was a lot of fun. Looking forward to finishing off the work week tomorrow and planning some weekend adventures. Hopefully I'm helping to talk the kids into going for a hike somewhere and yeah, that's who that goes.

It's been almost 15 years. But I really like the Philippines. I really like the sort of unification of a whole bunch of different people and cultures in a bunch of different islands. It vaguely, vaguely reminds me of our experiment here in the United States. But yeah, love the Philippines, love the weather, love the food, holy cow, love the people, and thank you so much for dropping in and saying hi. And being part of the night's nest, I know it's Friday over there, but it is about 10.20 over here in the Seattle area. Well, thanks, don't be a stranger, and good to hear from you over there. We have two more stations, actually just one more station with a check-in on this round. Houston 7IP with region TWA. Hey, Ben, Brian here. Look, Ben, I just wanted to say thank you for hosting tonight's nest. I know it's a hard job, and you make it seem easy. Congratulations on your new job. I'm also actually starting a new job at the beginning of September. That's why I'm taking August off on that travel. Also, it's good to hear that you like bike. I am looking forward to trying out the new bike trail down there on the waterfront, but I think that they either have just completed or are completing soon. With regard to the radio programming, in case anybody's interested, the major problem with the new radios that use Bluetooth for programming is that Bluetooth is necessarily an asynchronous operation, whereas Chirp presumes that it has synchronous operations with the radio. Bluetooth, like it imposes a segment reassemble that makes it fundamentally compatible with Chirp, and so it's going to take a lot of software work to build in a layer that allows Chirp to work correctly. Speaking of, I noticed that you had mentioned that you're interested in a TechNet. I'm interested in that as well. I might even be interested in hosting. However, I don't think I could do it weekly, but perhaps doing it once a month or something might be interesting, so I may reach out to some of the group leaders. Anyway, that's all I had to say.

Just all kinds of things, so I'm glad you found a new sort of rabbit hole to go down. I'm glad you have some things here to build and explore, that's always a really fun part of any hobby.

Alright, I'm going to let this drop and come back here and give you live or an update and then we're going to go and see if there's anybody else who would like to get into Route 4. So, see you soon, we'll be right back. We're right back. My name is Amanda, I call the line at 27LLZ. It is 10-13 in 12 seconds and just wanted to do all a quick update as to what I'm up to. It's been a while since I've been traveling a little bit and running around and I've been living here. Today was my last day of a job that I've been working for about two years. I've just been so tired of it for longer than two years. I was freelancing for that beforehand and, you know, it was sort of under duress during the pandemic that I took the job and I'm very happy to get out of it now. I'm a little sad, we have three people who work in the company and one of them is my boss, who's not a huge fan, and then there's my coworker, who's in Sacramento, and I would have been working with him, but I think he's been a really good, I think a little worker he's been great with. That's like your job as a PM, right? I'm going to have a few days off, I'm going to have the benefit of all the things that you've been able to get forward in terms of being able to get through the things along those lines. And what else? I went on a nice bike ride tonight. I got home just about nine minutes before the day started, so I was out of breath. It was a cheese ride. We went down to a blueberry park during Chautauva. Everybody drinks a bunch of cheese and crackers and fruits or whatever, olives, and we all kind of hear that spread and hang out in a nice home. And then tomorrow morning at 7am I'm going on another bicycle ride. It's been a great distraction as I got myself up and eating and people here in Chautauva. And yeah, it's just been a lot of fun. And then over the weekend I think I'm going up and hanging out with a friend or two. I'm actually excited they're very announced. We're going to go to the Lopez Island for a little music festival on Saturday. We'll be in the band up there performing. And I have some live stuff hopefully she can get. Next weekend, a nice little break before work starts on Monday. And we'll get one day off and we'll do a good job at the next one. So there we go. That's my update. Thanks very much for letting me drone on. I know you heard my voice tonight. With that, that's the end of round three. We're going to go back in and use more stations for round four.

With Bluetooth, the way that Bluetooth works is you don't have a raw socket serial connection into the radio, you have to send things in chunks. And so in order to do that you have to be able to stop communication in the middle, make sure everything's good, and then continue with the next segment that's called asynchronous communication. And so it's a fundamentally different model for radios that presume to be programmed through Bluetooth through segment and reassemble chunks. And the conventional radios that we're all familiar with where it can just listen to tones and remap the memory directly through the mic and the speaker port. So some of the newer radios like the, I think this is a VTech UVPro, do not support the old model of accepting the programming through the audio interface of the radio and you have to do it through the Bluetooth connection.

And so today our new AnyCupid Cobra S1 game, which is an order of magnitude faster like 12 times the speed. Same printing dimension essentially, but it does four colors if you wanted to at once. A very, very cool machine. So I built that and got it all set up and we've been running it constantly ever since. Having so much fun with the whole 3D printing stuff. Making toys for the 3D printer itself. I made a case for my USB 32-bumping radio that doesn't have an adult clip. I made the case for the adult clip and I'm pretty excited. So it's been fun.

More information is needed, it's going to be on the PSRG website, that's PSRG.org. Bring yourself a chair, a hand, sunglasses, sunscreen, don't forget those things. And local frequency, if you want to talk about on Simplex, it's 146.55, 146.55, or a bank hurt. Parking details on the website. Alright, we have the remote station and kind of planning group also coming up. We are looking for volunteers. It doesn't matter if you have a bunch of experience or not much experience at all, we'll do the volunteers to participate in H-E-B. And any of which are antenna array, which really consists of one antenna and our remote station located here, which has been a very cool addition to the H-E-B and PSRG for the past couple of years. The services are recommended to the board of various options for a second antenna to improve performance of an inner fan or to get more direction. Again, not all members need to be knowledgeable about antenna, this is a great opportunity to learn something and get your interest in. If you are interested, send an email to Brooke and her name is from a pic earlier, that's P9PCC. Email Brooke at 009BELSA0CC9 at PSRG.org. I'll be brief about the next announcement, because we're probably about to time out for a few, but the Hamilton X program, if you are or know a new ham and it will be interested in learning things and making it into a certain license, check out the PSRG.org website, we have information on the Hamilton X program. It's a collaboration between six different groups, and the system of web shows you different recreational and service ways to get involved with your ham radio license. It's a really great way to recommend your course. The next opportunity to get involved with that is on October 5th, but if you're interested or know someone who might need to, go to PSRG.org. Those are the announcements, I can time out for a few here.

We'll see you at Radio Tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or tea or whatever you like and stop by at a Friday night AMS on the flip side of the net. Ask a friend of Ron and our 7-0. With stuff and else to talk about, folks, I will now return the repeater to normal operation. Maybe someone can help us see someone's future in question.

So I said I'd expect a $4000 and I didn't have to gamble because I think if you got $4000, you'll be a brand new unit and set for the next 10 years.

Dick, the first time you and I remember talking to you, I was playing with a Diage and you were helping me get audio adjusted on my handheld. A lot of people, I mean, I was brand new at the time, had just gotten my ticket within a couple of months and had no idea really what I was doing. And it was great to talk to someone like you that could help me with those things. And you were talking about the coaxing counterpoise and all. One of the things I did this year when I went to Ancation was I went to AVR and picked up a pre-choked coax, 20 foot, 25 foot, I think it is. And if I'm using my end set, the choke goes on the radio end and any other antenna. It goes at the feed point to the antenna. It just makes it real easy. One cable and I just flip it, depending on the antenna. But I've learned a lot over the years, a lot of that from the East Coast sector, but I do like the idea of helping people with audio. It's something that I know of that's skills that I didn't have when I first started. I guess that's about it.

So I guess it perked a little bit of a challenge. I think Ryan found it in about 30 minutes. And then I think the second place came in. I think Ryan and group came in about, I think, I think it was about an hour later. So yeah, it was a good day. Thanks. Sorry that I had to miss it, but it was for a good reason.

Good evening. Very good. There, Brad. You know, one, your mom there. One quick question about the movie. Yeah, I heard that was a pretty good movie. Is that the one that's made? I know there's a bunch of movies out now that are made for IMAX only. Is that an IMAX movie? They may have it in IMAX versions, but I just saw it in regular theater, in 3D, which was well worth it, didn't it? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

Okay, I'm gonna go with this list here since it's pretty large here. Again, these are quick in and outs, so up to the top. Great, and good morning, that QC6S. What do you have for the net this morning? Good morning, Tom. Good to hear you. Good morning to the net. Let's see, Lisa and I are gonna be getting ready this weekend to go up to hot August nights. That starts next week. It's kind of our tradition. We have a group of people that go to hot August nights every year. We're looking forward to that. It's a good time, it's a good week. So we'll be heading up there on Sunday and probably coming back following weekend. So that's what we're gonna be doing this weekend. Let's see, I had to, on the way down to San Luis Obispo last weekend, somewhere along I-5, we picked up a piece of wire or a nail in one of the truck tires. The only trucks in 2019 turns out the tires that are on the truck were actually purchased by Hero Motors in 2018. So while we're waiting in the tire picks this week, and make sure we're calm, the new law is that they can't mount dismount tires that are over five years old. Used to be seven years, now it's five years. Well, had to buy a new set of tires. And that was all another story I won't bore you with. But people are gonna run into that more and more if you can't find something to mount dismount tires or something just to pull an entire repair. This is repeater eight. You're gonna be looking to reflect the tires that are on the road. Remember, remember, remember, remember. All-star note 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Oh, that is, that's pretty bad. That could end with, tends to, the thing about on that is trailers and RVs. I mean, typically you, you know, you don't wear out the tires. They just age out there. And isn't it typically seven years is what they recommend for changing tires, even if they're not worn? Uh, it's been seven years, but now the law has changed it to five years. So I think that's a new record. But you're right. I've got my car trailer that doesn't seem too many miles. Those tires are aging out. I've got the fish wheel. Those tires are aging out. You know, I both have jeeps. And I would say the tires on my jeeps gotta be pushed in 10 years now. But they have very few miles on them. You know, probably less than 10,000 miles on them. And I don't wanna replace those 37 inch. So, and then I've got all my collector cars and the tires are aging out. So yeah, tires are becoming a major expense if you try to keep up with the seven year or the five year. Yeah, that's for sure. I know that the tires on my jeep are definitely over five years. So in fact, they're probably over seven years. Well, that is something interesting. So is that a California law or a federal law? I was gonna look that up. I'm not sure myself if it's California or federal. I think the seven year is definitely federal. The five year may be California. California likes to do things just a little bit more than the feds always do. They like to have better standards. So I was gonna do some research on that. I'll report after I find out about it. But it's, you know, a general thing because in order to repair the tire, they had to dismount it, repair it, and then rebound it. And they're not allowed by law to do that because tires are made in 2018. They are out of date. Oh, I was due for a set of tires coming up. So it's not that bad. But it wasn't an expense I had really budgeted for this month. But now I have new tires on my GMC, so it'll be good for another five years. Five years goes pretty fast. So yeah, I guess I thought the seven year rule wasn't really a lie. It was just more of a, you really shouldn't have tires on there that's more than seven years old. I didn't think that that was a necessity because I think I had, yeah, I think on my RV, I think I had my tires dismounted and remounted. And they were, you know, beyond kind of, they were beyond the seven year limit there, but they still were in good shape. So they did that and looked at it and tried to find some issues with it. But that'll gain. Well, thanks for bringing that to our attention. Well, I'm not saying you can't find some of the smaller shops that are willing to do otherwise. But you know, if you're dealing with America's tire, let's swap, there you go, the big tire chains, they are not gonna put themselves in that position from a liability standpoint. And when you're handing out a little bit longer, they're willing to have a great day. Have a great day, QC6, that's the link. Yeah, I think it was a swap, swap tires there that did that. And I know it was more than seven years old from my RV. That was a couple of years ago. All right, well, seven, three is there. And you have, you and Lisa have a great time and a safe trip up there to a hot August 9th there. And thanks for checking in. Thanks for giving us the heads up there on having to replace tires after five years. That would definitely be a shock for somebody who'll go in there for a minor puncture replacement and then having to do that. All right, well, seven, three is there, great. All right, the next up, right? Yeah, QC6, good morning, right here we go. What do you have for the net this morning?

So I get in there and hammer on some files as fast as I can go. And I know I have a few things that I've gotta get done and after that I think it's out in the heat in the garage and finishing up on a little project. Ham radio wise, I'm trying to build my 17 foot whip that I have that I have a nice ground mount for it but it's kind of a headache getting that all drilled in and set up. I have a tripod that goes up in three seconds and at low level I'm going to get some fiberglass stakes, long stakes that I can connect a radio to and I've got eight radios but I'm going to adapt four of them so that they're adjustable with the connectors, different lengths, and up to 40 meters and I can stretch that out on some little stakes, four feet or three feet off the ground probably at the ends and five feet up on the tripod. And that's supposed to work very well. I've seen some good reports on it and good videos. So that'll be the ham project and doing maybe a little testing over the weekend out in the backyard, see how it really works. Very good, well it's not like a fun project there. So you do have like a nano in there or something for doing them, for testing out the engine and design. Well I have one of those and I used that. Now it's getting relegated to the VHF and UHF. I bought a Rig Expert A-55 so that'll cover the ham bands and it's just so nice connecting up and hitting that all bands button and seeing what a multi-band antenna is doing and find out where the shortcomings are. But yeah, the whip by itself, even with a counterpoise at 20, for 20 meters, once you get it up five feet off the ground it starts getting some high SWRs and you get that thing at 15 feet and it's somewhere around 10 to one I think and not good at all. But I think at five feet it's the PODA performer is the one that everybody seems to be talking about. And although I haven't done a PODA yet, I've done a few parks and now that I got my transmitter back on for the FT891 had to reset everything. It just was not transmitting despite the fact that it created a tenth of a watt of RF so it showed up on the meter. It wasn't actually doing anything or not modulating and power output looked good but it wasn't. There wasn't any. So they got that fixed and doing pretty well. I used two 17 foot whips as a horizontal dipole up about 15 feet and that thing's pretty amazing too.

They said that there was a, supposedly a new law that they had changed it from seven years to five years that they could not remount tires that were more than five years old. So that brought up the thing, was that we thought that maybe California had changed the law which meant that they, any tires that were being repaired that are over five years would have to be replaced. But Corey ended up calling and doing some research on that and said, no, that that was not a law, that it was basically based on the shop recommendation and what their policy was, and that American tires would not change out tires that are more than 10 years old. So that was what the controversy was. Well, it does kind of raise a point. I'm kind of anal-retentive about the tires on my motorhome. When they're six years old, I pull them off and replace them. And you can see that the tread is fine, but the sidewalls are starting to crack a little bit and showing age, and yeah, I cover them up when they're parked out in the sun.

All right, well, I definitely let us know what you find out there, Jerry. And you know, e-bikes are definitely something that's getting very, very popular going forward here.

He was definitely going more than 20 miles an hour. And he was in and out of traffic and stuff. And he was not regarding any of the laws, going through stop signs and going through intersections and all that stuff. And yeah, it was not a good situation. So they definitely need to have some rules about that. Before I moved here, Tom, there's a comment. We lived in Washington, DC, in Alexandria. And we weren't too far from the bike paths that went along the Potomac. So I would take my older daughter, and she and I would take our bicycles and ride up these paths. These paths are about the width of a road, half a road. And people push their baby shoulders on them, just go walking on them and meandering and riding their bicycles and tricycles. And then these guys would come along on their speedy bikes, and you'd say, on your left. They'd be gone by you before you even had the chance to react. I was surprised there weren't more accidents that happened on there. So yeah, it's just an interesting mix, isn't it? Back to you, Tom. Yeah, been on a number of hiking trails or more bikes. I like that. And yeah, it's definitely a strange mix. So who was the other comment? Tom Graydon, QG6SLH. Can open the door to the helmet laws. We see a lot of e-bikes up on the tower because we spend a fair amount of time up there. You see a lot of young people riding e-bikes around, and they're definitely going more than 20 miles an hour. They like to go up to the top of the hill and then come down the hill as fast as they can, which we used to do on bikes as well. But we had an old issue with the helmet law, too. And you see a lot of people riding e-bikes without helmets. So do the helmet laws apply to people under a certain age on bicycles, probably whether they're e-bikes or not? But what about the helmet laws for people, let's call them adults, that are out there on e-bikes? I just was going to throw out there and I don't know the answer. QG6SLH. Kilo, Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All-Star Note 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Yeah, that's a good question. It sounds like, according to maybe Craig, that they might be requiring helmets on, no matter what your age is. Anyway, Jerry, so your task is to find out, your homework is to find out all this and sort it all out, especially as being a lawyer like that, you should be able to come back with a, I guess, a summary of what you found. W-86E and N-6H. OK, Tom, I'll start my research now. The first step is, of course, to know there are rules and then to go look for them. So as Ray said a little bit ago, people do more than 20 miles an hour on their existing bikes. The only time I ever get up that fast on my bike is when I'm going downhill for a short burst and then otherwise it's typically 10 or 12 miles an hour. So I've ended up, interesting things, as the world changes.

I haven't heard about if Woz is going to be there or not. Some of the names I didn't actually recognize are listed. What else is happening here? A panel with Lee's health inside at 4.30pm. And I watched the Commodore Amiga 1000 at Lincoln Center. There's just a number of things happening. And ticket prices and... Anyway, I have the user manual for the Apple I. I got it from Steve. He was given away at the back of the lobby at one of the meetings. The home for computers web at Flack. And picked up the user manual. Didn't have the foresight to have them on a rabbit.

Think about shipping lithium batteries from Europe not being particularly easy. And even though they are quote-unquote user replaceable, finding the source of them is kind of a problem. So someone said, hey, you know, if you spend $400 on this box, you know, they've been out for about a year now. If you spend $400 on this thing, you know, it would be kind of nice to be able to like, you know, replace the battery when it dies. So that was one thing that came up. There were a couple of operational questions and answers. A lot of, you know, just general talk about, you know, accessibility came up a lot. So that was kind of a very, very short summary. I expressed, you know, one of the reasons I'm not particularly interested in that device is there's no way right now to hook headphones up to it or hearing aids. And, you know, just using the built-in speaker for me would not be particularly viable even when I use HDs.

And these interesting new problems show up, and then us folks who run Nodes and backend servers and things like that have to kind of figure out what's going on, and that's sort of the deal there. Along with that, there is talk right now, there's nothing that anybody can run, but the guy who writes Repeater Phone is apparently working on a beta version, which we don't know when this will come out for even beta testers right now, but he is working on a beta version of Repeater Phone that will allow you to use a Node number rather than just using WT Mode, because if you're familiar enough with how Web Transceives works and some Nodes that you can't necessarily get everywhere with Web Transceives modes, there are Nodes that block that. So more on that when I know more. Okay, very good. So that's it, right?

So, I was putting off a tire change, uh, I knew I had a tire change coming up, you know, replacement, uh, and the flat tire really forced me into that issue. So, it's something you may run into when you're out there depending on how worn your tires are, but as far as legal mandates, uh, I'm surprised by this, uh, as long as you're on the tire service, you don't have to have it mounted or remounted.

Because you have to change, or unless you have a unique IA export for each of those, I think it defaults to what, 4-5-6-9 or something, like for the clear node, or for all-star. But then you'd have to have, basically change it to a different IAX number, and then go into the all-star.org, and then actually change it there too. So which port to go into on your node itself.

All right, very good there, Rick. Well, thanks for the information. And also about the 1802 and stuff, yeah, those, definitely remember those things. I'd like to say I was on the Intel side of things, so I didn't play with all those things. I played more with the 8000, the 888, the 8088, 8086 type of processors.

And I forgot all about that, and I turned this mic on. And they were both on the same node. And I thought, oh, I might be screwing something up. And I hurried up and turned the mic off. But today, I just have the mic on. I went out to the web page looking at the bubble map, and it has my call sign, and it says I'm not in the database.

I looked up, this is all on the tire issue that I brought today and stirred up, I looked up the federal DOT and the California DOT. This is a surprise to me. There are no legal mandates either under DOT or the California DOT for aging requirements. There are only recommendations. I always thought they were mandates. My error. But what they're recommending is that you follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations, which is based on liability, obviously. But the vehicle manufacturers recommend that you do not run tires over six years of age, regardless of tread depth. This is probably due to the Firestone tire issue many years ago with the Ford Explorers. But I think what they are doing is they're recommending, California is following the six-year, DOT is following the six-year as a recommendation. You know, the event DOT goes a little bit further.

You know, because they're not that expensive. And he just loves it. And he doesn't just keep it in his car, he takes it out and puts it in his life's car, if they drive that car, stuff like that. So it's fun to see his interaction with it and he said he would help me get this wireless mic hooked up. And there's something to help me. And the other thing is I would, and also you can click on the manual and it will get me back on your phone. And it's daunting because when you first click on the manual, it comes up in full Chinese. I scroll through the first page and lo and behold at the bottom it says English. I press not in English and it all converts over to another manual that's all English. So I breathe a sigh of relief. It was very daunting and I said, gee, I do not know Chinese at all. Don't tell me we're going to have to start learning Chinese. Anyway, that's it. I won't go into that. I have on Wednesday my first episode of a needle in my neck with some juice coming out of it to see if it helps my neck where I don't get any more pain and I can lift it up and look around. It's very hard to be walking around and not be able to raise your head up without excruciating pain. So I have to be real careful. I get one shot and then a time later I get another shot which is like maybe two weeks in between. And if those work and I get relief, then I get an out-pilation on my neck.

You have all the different groups of channels and stuff. The app itself is a little bit of a learning curve to understand how to use it. A lot of different things there and redundant things. You can work your way around it. It's much easier to use the app than it is to actually do on the radio itself. The radio that I have has a front panel on it and also you can get it directly from the radio with its menu system and stuff. If you want to use a lot of the GPRS stuff and things, you need the app to configure all that stuff. I can see what you're going through there. I think the Vero has a new radio out called the VR7600 which I think actually adds a display to the panel. The one you have has a display on it. Very good.

We love talking to people and getting to know each and every one of you and we're here 7 days a week, starting at 9 a.m. Alaska time. Which is 1 Eastern Time. Then it's on for about 2 hours but can run a bit longer. If you can't check in by voice or in the net longer AIM window, please go to www.alaskamorningnet.com and click on the web check-in button. Also, all the ways to connect to the Alaska Morning Net can be found on the website. Okay, let's get started taking check-ins. If you're a mobile or short time station, let us know. We'll put you at the top of the list. If you're not in North America, other than the UK, we'll put you up there with some marbles and short times. Let's see here, when you give me your call sign, please give it twice, slowly and phonetically. We also ask you to pause at least 4 seconds between every transmission. Keep all these interconnected things with latency and so forth, times that it kind of stands up and sits down, sort of at the same time the best it can. So, just how the system works. Alright, without further ado, let's take some check-ins.

The usual group is here. David, Roger, Douglas, Doug, Roy. Roy is kind of funny. Last night I was looking through some stuff on the internet and said, hey, decided I think they don't need this. I won't call it that. I don't care what people say. That's really what it's thinking. I know it's not going to boil up. It don't look like it because the little kid next to it is what's causing their trouble anyway. And the car on the board, I don't know what that's going to happen. So now I saw a thing on the, so that's just a thing now. I'm just waiting to see what will come after that. I got good at the graph. I got a piece of that in my yard today. It's going to rain before I get out there yesterday. It started raining. It's about 85 degrees, which is better than day-to-day. I'm going to have a cold front go through here. It's going to bring some rain, maybe a little bit cooler weather, but by the end of next week it's going to be up to midnight again. So, you know, summer is still here. But today I'm going to go cut some grass. I'm going to go get some hardware and get some parts for our repeater shop. We're going to swap out repeaters here soon, I think. It's working now, but it was too much of a problem, so we have a new repeater. I'll put it in. We've added some things. We'll get ready for that, I think. Anyway, I have a 10-meter dipole, which I've been working on. It's still unfinished. I made it out of flex weave and that stuff. It's so hard to get the insulation off of. This particular brand is, so I got it finished. I've got a pole to put it on out there. I'm just going to put it in first about 30 feet and see what happens with it. We'll just see how that goes. But my 40-meter dipole is still up. And, Roger, one of these days when I get ready, we'll work out a time and we'll try to make contact. I'm going to get some software. He gave me some software, so I'll come back maybe several years back. You put in your location and the other space's location and what band. It tells you when and how much power."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-01T10:57:29+00:00","id":12618,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":12617,"text":" at KI7P KL, that's control, and Alaska Morning Net friends, here's KZ7YFP, Lauren to Rosie, and to Scott, KY4NB.

I was looking up that SWL, as far as amateur radio, yeah, shortwave listening. But I've heard it used before, I mean, I don't use it myself, but anyway, we're not doing too bad. Gonna make this one and done, and get ready to make a, get ready to format an SD card out, get a little warming up on the drums here a little bit. We're gonna meet up again today with my bass player friend and one or two other guys, and see what we can come up with. Hopefully it won't be too scary, no I'm kidding. Anyway, Roy, thanks for the net, and I wanna thank you all for being here. So keep up the good work, keep coming back, and let's keep this Alaska Morning Net porch light on for all who wants to stop by, and even those on the SWL side of things can come and monitor.

And we really need to take the potty humor out of astronomy and astronomy terms. So I'm with you, my friend. Yes, his name is Bezlegies. As you were talking, you know, I got to thinking, you know, Bezlegies is kind of like this old guy on a black and white TV show I used to watch when I was very young. This guy, what was his name? Mr. Wilson. And this little boy next door just caused him all sorts of grief week after week after week. And you often wonder, why did Mr. Wilson put up with that? You know, he must have had an awfully big heart. And I wonder if that little boy next door, had they been real, of course they were characters, but had they been real, I wonder if that little boy next door would have used him as a positive feature. Probably would have. Anyway, yeah, you know, so much hype about Bezlegies. And I think a lot of it has to do with YouTubers and others in the media, you know, who are just trying to get some clicks and get some likes and get some stuff. So Bezlegies, it could blow up any time. Yeah, any time between now and the next couple of thousand years. So yeah, don't hold your breath, folks. Key Corona Borealis on the other hand, yeah, that one, keep an eye on that one. Keep an eye on that one. Next year we might just have something to see there. We hope, anyway. All right, all I say, you have a good day, my friend. Always good chatting with you. And yeah, I understand about having the areas head on and the other head on. Well, that's why we have all these HTs. I mean, we all got half a dozen HTs or something like that. And maybe that's why we have them, so that we can monitor three nets at the same time and check it all. Except once in a while you have that moment where you're, are they both going to call on me at the same exact moment? Yeah, they've come pretty close in time for two. Anyway, well, three, seven, three is all is for now. And now we're going to head on over to Alabama and see what some of us are through seeing that control Douglas. I think we're already in Alabama."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-01T11:05:09+00:00","id":12621,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":12620,"text":" Roy, it's been here, everybody there.

I mean, if I should get up to water the plants, I gotta kick fur balls off, and I'm thinking of the easy fur ball report.

And wow, as soon as she walked out the door, both of them go into immediate abandonment mode, right? They're one and they're going back and forth between the door and the patio. And they get over to the patio and the patio door is closed, but they look down and I had installed a new doggy door, but it was for a little kids who poodle. One of the labs looks at that flap on the doggy door, hits that baby hard with its nose and goes, yeah, I can go through there. Tries to go through and immediately gets stopped right in the shoulders of course, after hitting it full speed with 60 pounds of black Labrador retriever. Pulls out, the other lab looks at it and goes, well, let me give it a try. And then they ended up both trying to go through the doggy door for the little kids who poodle.

But yeah, they, Direct TV and Dish Network, they use a different encryption system. But they both work basically the same, so. And they really beam a strong signal down. They call it spot beaming, and so they send those down wherever they need them. Maybe like Hawaii and Alaska has spot beams. And that comes off their KU satellites. That's up at 10 to 12 gigahertz, by the way. So in fact, that's where I'm working right now. And my problem, my big dish is that the 5G telephone signals now are up to the bottom of the band. And it jams out my, I think on the C-band transmission, which I find really unfortunate. SCC, if you pay them enough money, they'll do anything to authorize a unit to have frequencies that you shouldn't have. So that's what they're doing. So that's what I say about C-bands.

So yeah, it'll be interesting to see how that one comes out. Seriously. Hey, you know, the 70 meter band is one of the bands that we use the most. So they just need to keep their paws off of our band. That's all I can say about that. We'll see how that turns out though.

They'd be broadcasting for hours sometimes. You'd see all the raw footage when something happened. So that used to be fun. I used to enjoy that.

All our, you know, our, a lot of our Aries and that sort of stuff, a lot of local nets go on on the 040 repeater. And it's part of the link repeater system.

And the net, the net just sounded OK. I stood in that exact same spot a couple of minutes check in to an Aries net on the 040. And I tried three times. And the net controller could not copy my callsign. The propagation here is so horrible right now. And I wonder, I'm guessing maybe it's like that all over the place.

Because like you say, he's very isolated. It's wonderful to live in a beautiful place, but there's not much going on. You can only enjoy the view so much before you start getting kind of bored. When I was out in that little town where I grew up, I had to go back out there, family business, parents and stuff like that. So I was out there for, I don't know, about off and on, not full time, but out there off and on for about four years. I remember how sometimes I would just sit there and I remember sitting in my grandpa's chair. He was long gone by this time. I remember sitting there in my grandpa's chair going, I've been surfing, he's Facebook, literally for four hours. I've been sitting here in his chair just surfing and surfing and hitting like and surfing. Yeah, that was a sign of true boredom. Had I been a little smarter, I would have gotten back into ham radio and or astronomy back then in 2011. I think I was a little bit happier. Oh, I know, I didn't have any money. That's why I didn't have any money back then. About the time I started having some money, I wasn't out there anymore, so it didn't work out. Too bad, too. We had little darker skies and a lot more room to put up antennas. By that time, my long wire had been taken down, which is too bad. We used to have this long wire that was on like 150 feet long, went from the house out to some tree. I transmitted with it and stuff too. That was a good antenna.

But at the same time, there are things I like about the city. Yeah, I think I just need two places. This is where the thing with the city is. It's convenient. It's actually the fact that as you get older, well, medical care becomes more critical. And so, you know, and that because of aging follows.

Well, they send those out. And using the KU band is the most efficient, but that's not encrypted either. So there's a lot of stuff up there, a lot of stuff up on the verge.

I noticed probably about a week and a half ago, the astronomy community made an announcement that I thought was pretty interesting. The bright star P2 thing, the constellation of Orion. We've always thought for, I don't know, probably centuries that it was a binary because it dims periodically, you know, it shifts in brightness up and down. And I think that the belief is generally this may be the function of being a binary star system. Well, some pretty clever people used some interesting advanced mathematics to go after discerning some images of what appears to be the other star in that system. And you can look at those online. I couldn't point to a web link, but if you do a search on Betelgeuse in the news, you're apt to find it. And I see that some scientists have nicknamed it the bracelet. It's appearing as something that's kind of like all Betelgeuse is wearing it. You know, it's so close. But I thought I'd share that. And I know you don't have a topic particularly, but I'd love to hear what other human beings out there listening to your show are doing with AI. I'm very curious to hear that.

We've never used a cage in the past between any of our dogs and we've had so many Labradors over the years. But, you know, the odor is just something a wee bit different. Like I say, he just refuses to take a rest. You know, you try and give him this nice big pain here and a big tear and all the rest of the teeth. You know, he does his exercise and everything else but man, all the time he just keeps on going until he doesn't even drop, he just gets crumpy. So, definitely the cage, and like I say, we've never used a cage before, but we've got kids like ten times the size of him. So, he's in there with them, all he needs and everything else and he can still play a little bit and everything else. And then take an hour, sometimes even two, but usually he's in between 30 or 60 minutes of a rest and then he wakes up, we take him out and he's absolutely fine. So, as you see, each dog is different, you just have to get sensitive and they understand what they need and just do what you have to do. So, that's taken into work. We tried not to use it in the first couple of weeks, or even two and a half weeks, but the last week and a half we just have. Because he was just getting over tired, he just wouldn't go to sleep. Apart from at night, he's okay and he's not too bad. So anyway, there we go. Anyway, Bex, do you have any final comments other than doggy comments, anything else you want to share with us? How you getting on there, packing up all the camping equipment, getting it all washed and tidied and put away for the next trip? Back to you one more time, Bex, if you don't mind. November, Quebec, November, All Star, node 6222. Yeah, Graham, it's all packed away. The washing's done, cleaned all the tent away. One of the reasons we came back Tuesday was because of the rain and it was the only dry day that it took all day. There was a lot of moisture in the air and obviously I can't put my tent up when I get home, wait for a dry day to let it dry. And you can't put tents away wet. So, we came back Tuesday and I think it was all dry because I can guarantee we're not going camping next year. I have other reasons for that. At the moment it's all very hush-hush. But, yeah, it's all packed away. The cupboard door is shut under the stairs. Don't open that door because it may all fall on you. Yeah, it's one of those. And it's been hard work and I need a rest. I won't get a rest because it's a school holiday. So, we are going to my mum's beach house, which is a nice free few days on the beach in the poorest, most deprived area of the UK but the most beautiful beach. They have a house, they can't sell it. They've had it for years and we all go and they don't live there but they used to rent it out. But where it is, they can't sell it and we go and spend a few days in the summer holidays. Hopefully, we'll get some sun and the boys can go paddleboarding. I can go paddleboarding. I love it. And it will be good. Just need to pack a bag, take the dogs and my neighbour will feed the cats for a few days and we'll set off over there. And it's free. I'm looking forward to that one if the weather's good.

And there was one time we went away, and I had this dog called Dale Hugh, and he was a close, I'll say, certain whippet dog, and he was really lovely, wonderful temperament, this and that. Honestly, he looked like an underfed German Shepherd. I think when I walked there people thought, he's not even a German Shepherd enough. He was black and tan and very thin because she had the whippet in her. Anyway, we went away and he put her in the kennels for the first time ever, and when we came back, the kennel owner, who has like dozens of dogs at a time, said, oh, poor Lucy, she was so upset that you were gone, and we had to take her into the house. And so basically, for a refer to me, he said, Lucy spent time with her kennel owners in the house because she was so upset. Oh man, all time.

Coming up to one, so he's a little bit more advanced in the top of his knees than we are. Of course we've got 31 older here, he's now 13 weeks into the real wide world. You know, after all his vaccinations and everything else, it's been fun. It has been, it's been hard work as well, isn't it Banks? And anyway, both myself and Helen, it's just us here looking after one puppy. You've done it with the family and everything else around you. I don't know how you do it Banks, I really don't because we are absolutely knackered. How do you do it with puppy and this and that and others and family? Oh, goodness me, honestly, I'm an admin, student and all. It's back to you from 7 KNO, from KNO UUB. This is Lieutenant 7 KNO, it's Ernie. Yeah, it's hard work, it really is hard work. Yeah, I've always taken, I mean, Jess is going to be a working dog, as you know, Archie's not. Our last lab, Max, still hurts about one. He was that dog, I've had a lot of dogs over the years, he was a working dog. They've all come with me everywhere. Everywhere you can take them, take them. Obviously this time of year it gets more tricky, hot cars and everything else. It's creating that bond and with children obviously it's the family bond as well. Making sure the dog knows its pecking order, which were the Labrador. You know labs, labs rule. You've got to have the cheese tanks, the burro tanks, any food tanks. So if you're cooking, you've got to have their bit. They don't have special awareness. But when they're working labs, I've trained every lab I've had to be a working lab with them that they'll never work. Or whether they will. Same principles, same principles as with toddlers. It's boundaries, understanding how they think, how they work. Jess is headstrong. Absolutely fantastic on his own, taking him out with Archie. It's like I've never trained him at all. They look at each other and try and do their own thing. So it's understanding how your dog works. Yeah, it's tiring. The boys are tiring, the dogs are tiring. Camping is not a holiday when you're a single mum. It is what it is, but I do it for the children. The children and the dogs had an absolute whale of a time. I've got a lot of work to do now with resetting boundaries with Chester. He's looking at me going, what? Say what? Yeah, it's just useful. You do what you do. I teach children and I liken dogs to children. Boundaries, rules, lots and lots of love, lots of rewards. And they respond really well.

And he curled up on my other airbed with me on top of a blanket and then something bit him so he never came near it ever again. It was all fun and games, all learning curves for a Labrador pup.

Honestly, Odin was pushing some buttons, and even those teenagers over the three decades didn't push. I will make it. You know, it's the same principle, you're absolutely right, you know, consistency in firm boundaries and clear boundaries. You know, they don't have to even be firm, just be clear and consistent. And yeah, it does work. And we've only had our wee Odin here for four weeks, and he's doing amazingly well. You know, completely toilet drained. He hadn't done any accidents indoors for, well, several days now. And he'll take me out in a lead. He's only been out for the last couple of days since he got his own vaccinations, but he had been doing some lead work in the house and outside, you know, gardening and stuff. So he's finding the lead, and he sits at the curb and waits to be invited across the road. And he agrees, I mean, he sounds as if he's absolutely fantastic. Man, as you know, Banksy, he's pushing all our buttons. And he just doesn't get enough sleep. He just refuses to go to sleep. He just wants to keep on enjoying life, and then he gets overtired and being grumpy. So, oh, goodness me. Anyway, we're trying to get him into a major routine. Easily kind of forced a kind of a time out in the den and everything else. And it's kind of working, so there we go. We're going to Burnt Island tomorrow, which is a fun, fair place. So we'll take him out. I don't want to over-expose him too much, but yeah, he's loving to learn about the world. It's all good fun. And so anyway, that's it.

I've never ever used a cage with any of my dogs. However, if you've got one that needs that time out, it's worth your investment. And you can put them in there, you can shut the door, it's their bed zone. And it's time out and they will go to sleep. And then you can open it up and they come out. I know a lot of people that use them. I've not needed two. That's just pure luck, I think. And each Labrador has its own personality. As you know, they all have their strengths and weaknesses. And all of mine have been quite headstrong. But I've always had two. So the older ones always taught the younger one. I'm going to confess something here that I'm really ashamed of. That up until recently it's changed. But Archie, for the first six years of his life, is the first dog that I have never ever been able to lead train. Every other dog I've had, they walk close without a lead. Just above it. I can keep him close, take the lead off, he will stay by my side until I let him go. Archie, absolute pure D*** head. Until I got Chester. And now all of a sudden he's become this mature, wonderful dog. And walks on the lead perfectly next to me while Chester is still trying to pull and be a pain. So yeah, Chester off the lead, stay close, he's next to me. Absolutely no problem at all, which is what I want for working because he won't be on a lead. And Archie's suddenly become lead dependent. So it's finding out what works best for you. And I know a lot of people will use a cage in the corner, in the front room or in the kitchen or wherever. When they want that dog to go to sleep and at night time the dog goes in, they get used to it and they go to sleep. So if that's the way your dog works, use it. Not something I use, not something I ever want to use, but I know that it works for some people. And that's the thing, it's what works for you and what works best for your dog.

So that's the gist of the presentation. We'll technical stop a little, why it's fun, why it's useful, and then bring up the fellowship aspect of it as well. So just the things that I particularly appreciate about DMR and hotspots and the digital stuff, it's pretty neat being able to use a handheld and talk to people all over the world through DMR and the other digital modes. So that's what that presentation is all about. People come over to see the big faster transmitter with the colourful knobs and the glowing tubes. So when they're done Googling that, I talk to them about DMR or let them look at the presentation, and a couple of channels that are set up and they can talk simplex back and forth, and so they can actually feel what the radio is like and hit the first clock button and talk and hear their voice coming out the other end and hear someone talking back to them.

It's so difficult practically how do you do it, and it does depend, you don't get a home site up there and everything else, but barking is an essential thing. Barking means that you're isolated, so go and put them somewhere and they don't get the attention. But this is hard, honestly Tari, it's hard. I don't think we can probably sort that out all in a night, but it definitely is an attention-feeling behaviour. So release the attention and you can give them, by doing whatever you can, and you'll invite them and that's all I can say. MMCO, thank you so much, and goodness me, we're talking dogs, we're talking this, McDonald's and Burger King, and oh man, it's a bit of fun, nature really has.

I ran my own company for a long, long time and I used to have big and small offices in across the USA. I ran an office in Albuquerque and I always used to love to go there. Surprisingly, it's a technically advanced society even though it's 6,000 to 7,000 feet up in the mountains. And just north of there in Los Alamos Labs, that's where the USA exploded the first A-bomb. And then they have a Kirkland Air Force Base, which is in Albuquerque. I think they take the A-bombs from Los Alamos or the bombs they create there and make weapons out of them. Anyways, it's a great place and I was listening with interest with a fellow and his wife who came in on the channel. But like I say, I like Albuquerque and one interesting fact about Albuquerque is I've always been a runner and I've ran thousands of miles, although I don't run much now. But every time I went to Albuquerque, I used to always run and they have great running paths and places to run there. But the first day I got there, I ran and I was out of gas. I was out of gas and I couldn't believe it. And what happened is the air in Albuquerque is so thin that it takes you days to get used to it. So it took me about four or five days before I got used to the air, the thin air in Albuquerque. And I was able to run my normal training run, which was running anywhere from five to ten miles. But like I say, the air in Albuquerque is thin, but it's difficult to do physical activity once you get used to it.

And as Paul mentioned, having a gully wash, as he would put it, or a big river running down a street, and then what was it, a mile and a half to his north. There was so much pea-sized hail over John, KI5YIS QTH. And it was like snow. You could almost have to get a snow shovel out and shovel it out because it was pretty deep, I guess. So we get those weird weather patterns. Once in a while, we're still in the monsoon season. But when it's dry, it's definitely dry. It's warm, and it's very low humidity. And as I say, we're about a mile above sea level here, maybe a little bit more. And I'm in the high desert myself here in the northwestern side of Rio Rancho. So there it is.

I've got to, before you go there Graham, I've got to ask you a question. As you said, Odin was growing so fast, I wonder what, what kind of age do they actually slow down and stop growing? While that was on, I was doing a little bit of research in the background here. I checked the Guinness Book of Records for the tallest Labrador on record but they don't have one. What I did find out was that according to the breed standards, male Labradors are typically 22 to 24 inches tall at the shoulder, but females slightly shorter. One source mentioned a Labrador that was called Stuck in Dance, who was said to be standard 26 inches tall at the shoulder and 5.3 feet long. But that was only claimed by their breeder but it was never verified as true. So I'm wondering, do you think Odin might end up in the Guinness Book of Records when he's a bit older? And do they actually slow down, what age do they actually slow down, that Labrador's there, Graham?

This one seems to dominate over the model airplanes, but I do a lot of both for sure. I haven't really, I don't break airplanes. I tend to wear them out. I don't really spend a lot of time working on them. I just fly, you know? And every once in a while I have a mishap, of course. It's a model airplane, but I spend most of my time playing with ham stuff. But you would think here lately, my new hobby is collecting LIFEP04 batteries. I just can't stop buying these things. I'm collecting smaller ones off of Amazon. I got two six amp hour 12 volt coming, the latest acquisition coming for $20 shipped to my door. You know, and the last, I think I told everybody about the last batteries. Those things are working out great. They were 15 amp hour for $20 a piece. I got a couple of those. And also have a motorcycle. I was on that the other day and needed to get it out. And someone was screaming at me, take me for a ride. You know, so I went out and put about 15 miles on it before it got hot. But right now you don't let me out on the motorcycle. It's nasty, nasty hot. So that's it pretty much. I'm not flying real airplanes anymore. I've got a private certificate, but I haven't flown in this pilot command in a long time. And it's gotten so expensive, it's crazy. Let me reset. Yeah, so just, you just don't do much around here in the summertime. So the hobbies all are indoor, indoor hobbies. So, and I hope, by the way, after Culver's, we did go to the mall, X-way O and I, we walked around there for about probably three miles. Nice and cool in there, in that mall.

But yeah, they work. I don't think they're terribly reliable. I have Withhell buying one of those because of QRP Labs stuff I think is better. It's got a lot more capabilities. And now it does sideband too. The QMX++ sideband plus CW is a fabulous little CW radio. But they work. You might want to look around for other stuff though. They're, in my opinion, they're not the best you can get. I would go with a QRP Labs something or other if you're looking for a portable QRP radio.

I'm going to go with my audiobook because I can do more audiobooks than I can with anything. Of course, when you're reading it, you're reading it. Also, I started playing with some different underweighted control cars. I got a rock stroller and a drag racer. Kind of the opposite end of the spectrum. The drag racer is scary fast and the rock stroller is scary slow. But really fun. I also had a flight where I was playing with control airplanes, but it's been quite a while. And I really like to go shooting, but I'm not sure. But my friend had some things happen in real life that he has not been wanting to go shooting, I don't think. I did not get out to the range and then the A-works were woven up. Some of the stuff to prepare some traps and stuff on the range and caught some stuff on fire. So now they're closed. So I have to go to the further range. I always go high for the appreciation and yes, that would be very cool. I got out to the clover, one of my favorites. And real hunting is the only way to go. I don't know how people can not tell the difference whether it's a feed by or a scotch net. They all just filter so there's no pollen or anything in it that they'll work from.

So this morning when I got to work there, I was able to get in there with a key because I didn't have a key. But I had a pry bar and a screwdriver that allowed me to pry open enough to where that I could slip like a credit card, some type of a credit card thing. It wasn't actually a credit card. It was just like one of these gas station cards that you can get and redeem and get like $0.05 off of a gallon if you use it. Set it in there and got the door open. So I lifted and compounded out the lock mechanism. It was all messed up. So I did not shut it. I left it open. I mean, I closed it. But I didn't shut it because the doorknob latch was messed up. But anyway, all was good. And I was a little bit tired today from what we did and some electrical and stuff like that. But anyway, we're doing great. Got word this morning that I lost a cousin. So if you don't mind anyone that believes in prayer, just pray for the family for that and everything. And so with that, back to you, Jeanette. Thank you so much for doing this. And good to hear you and Mike and everyone here. And oh, yeah, let me take one more break. And I'll come back and I'll read the question for tonight. That way everybody can be thinking about it. Tonight's question is, and this question's probably been asked on every net and beyond nets. So tonight's question is, what are some of your favorite hobbies or new hobbies that you enjoy? So that's tonight's question. Again, what are some of your favorite hobbies or new hobbies that you enjoy?

There's something, someone out there, it's called the exit coin, E-X-I-T, coin. And it's a coin that is just mined in Texas, and in the past year I think it started off at 3 cents, and right now it's sitting at $1.08 over the year as well.

So yeah it's just warm. Anyway, we got condolences to Virgil for the loss of his family member, that's always tough, sorry to hear that. And let's see what else has been going on here, we went to Culver's today, X-Way went with us and a lot of you know a couple other hand women folks were there so they were off chatting on their own. Got me a double butter burger with cheese deluxe with everything on it and it was really good, in fact I had a BOGO and I got another one so I'm going for supper I think, hi hi. So, other than that flying I was out three times this week, it's just this morning when I got up it was over 90 at 6am and it's like ahhh it's getting pretty warm out there. We did have what I call an Indian Spring, we had two weeks of just lovely weather, I mean it wasn't very hot at all. So we had a two week for free but we're paying for it now for sure. Frozen radio would be melted radio, we'd have the changes called a KL7MR for melted radio. It's just going to be hot. But that's life in Arizona in the summertime here in the desert.

I just can't describe it any way it's clunky. I made a number of contacts with it, even as a handheld. I made a number of sideband contacts with it, with an Elecraft AX1 antenna stuck on it for 20 meters. They do work. They're not the best, but they do work. So back to you, Virgil.

Never good to hear when someone's relatives has passed. But I'm on the road. We're just leaving north, north Las Vegas, up on top of the hill at the truck stop. There's not much out here, but now we have to go down the hill into the actual north Las Vegas. We have a delivery, and then we're heading down to California for a pickup and then heading back up to Utah after that. We were down for like four days because of the truck having to need a differential seal. And they couldn't get to it on Sunday. They've been out of the service since Saturday. Couldn't get to it on Sunday. Didn't get to it on Monday. Got to it on Tuesday, but they had to wait till the afternoon because the person didn't order the kit. And then the guy put it in on Tuesday afternoon, but then he put it in long. So he had to order another kit, and then he put it in first thing Wednesday morning. And I was just back there looking at it. I'm not sure if it was from before or if it's leaking now. So I'm a little worried. I'm a little worried that it's leaking because we don't want to lose the oil and that differential because it'll just zip on us. So I got to figure that out. I got to get somewhere and hose it down and see if that's new oil or old oil. And before we get an opportunity to sit somewhere for an hour or so, we'll pull forward and check to see if there's any oil on the ground. But yeah, it's just been a hectic week. Supposed to be on next week. So we're working on that. On Monday, they're only gonna pay me one day of breakdown pay instead of the three days. So that was frustrating. But I get some other benefits from doing what I'm doing on this particular account. So I'm kind of turning the other cheek and letting it slide because I don't want to lose the account and I don't want to lose the other benefits that I have. But down here, well we came down yesterday and wasn't the grab one, sorry. We're coming down yesterday. We're supposed to have a delivery and I was supposed to deliver it yesterday morning at about nine o'clock. But there was a fatality accident on 15 South, just south of Mesquite, Nevada. So we ended up getting turned off the road across the median and back to Mesquite. We sat there for about six, seven hours until they got done with their investigation and opened it up. They were backed up about 12, 14 miles because of the road being closed down. So we got lucky there, got a good parking spot and kind of rested. So like I said, it's been a heck of a week. Looking forward, hopefully for the rest of the week to be mellow and have the transmission get me through to Phoenix and I'll put the chuck in the shop when I get home so they can check it out. If there is a problem, they can fix it while I'm on my home time. So at least I'll be home if I'm not getting paid.

I sold them a whole bunch of computers. And they were great, great people. But it's interesting, the air is so thin there, the air is so thin, like in Colorado, that the Major League Baseball team in Denver, Colorado Rockies, the air is so thin that the players, when they come up the bat, they hit the ball further because the air is so thin. So if you're a baseball player and you come to play in Denver in the air, you're going to hit your home runs a lot faster. But Albuquerque is filled with stories. And I could probably talk for hours of my experiences in Albuquerque working there. But what's interesting is Los Alamos Labs, up by Santa Fe, north of Albuquerque, is where the first A-bomb was made and where it was exploded. Los Alamos Labs was an incredibly advanced high-tech area. And as an advanced high-tech area, they would buy the most sophisticated, biggest, fastest computers in the world. And one of the computers I learned to work on was made by Seymour Cray in the 60s and 70s. Seymour Cray made his large supercomputers in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. And the word supercomputer was invented around his computers that he made. He used to work for Control Data. And he made the 6600, the 7600, and then he started his own company called Gray Computer and made the work largest and fastest computers that ever were called Cray's. And this is second, third-hand information. But one of the things I learned is Los Alamos Labs wanted the biggest and fastest supercomputers in the world. And they told \u2013 the press was interviewing the officials up there, and they were asking them about their computers. And they say, we'll take serial number one of any computer that Seymour Cray builds. Yeah, so they had a bunch of Cray computers, but they said any computer that Seymour Cray builds will take serial number one. But I say, this is filled with stories. And I read all the books on the development of the atomic bomb. I think one of the best books I wrote, I think was Richard Rhodes. He wrote a great book.

And my other hobby is I'm trying to learn Spanish. I've gotten pretty good on Zulingo, the Spanish app. So I probably left something out. So anyway, it's not important. I've got to run over to the offering server to run a trivia net. So anybody who wants to come over there if they don't have anything else to do is more than welcome. It's on the World Conference server in just about ten minutes. Okay, back over to you, Jen. Thanks a lot for letting me in. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven. Well, thank you, Rick. And you can have too many hobbies, so I definitely get that. Yeah, you get the same kind of weather we had here today. So I did sit out there for a little while because it was doable. You know what I mean. And I didn't put on a jacket. But I do have long pants on right now. But let's see if Virgil wants to comment and he can give you his call.

I definitely got to start piling up wood for the winter. Now that it's August, that's a high priority, getting ready for winter. I got a long project. I got lists of lists. In my get ready for winter list, I never finish it, but getting started on it. I got some house and garage improvements I got to do before winter sets in and electrical issues I got to deal with in addition to general yard work. So staying busy, that's for sure, but I definitely got to start piling up firewood. I bought a tandem axle trailer a couple weeks ago, and that sucker, I think I could haul four carts of wood on it, but my little Ford Expedition didn't like pulling it empty. I got a pretty heavy duty trailer, so I need to get a truck to pull that trailer around them and go up to Trapper Creek and look at one tomorrow. My girlfriend's landlord is moving out of state and she's selling everything. She's got a flatbed dump truck. I don't know any more than that. What year, I know it's a Ford, but I don't know what year or anything else. Hopefully that'll be just the thing I need for hauling firewood, plus I can load the trucks and the trailers.

They had tons of runners that would run all day. And then they had sports team. The boxing was good. And I'm sure, I didn't know Los Alamos and San Jose, I knew more about Albuquerque than I did the other areas. And the people were great. They were bilingual and I never had any problems there. Although recently I've heard stories of large cities having crime. I think Albuquerque had somewhat of a problem. I'm not sure of that.
