For Marie. Uh, KV0MAI. George, tell me about common sense. What does it mean? And do you have any examples? This is KC2PKG. KV0MAI. Common sense, huh? So... In the beginning of the caveman days, they discovered fire. And they learned from the fire that if you put stuff on the fire, it's gonna burn. And the thing is, they learned how to, uh, you know, knead and stuff like that. Or sharpen jewels. Well, hard with steel. Maybe make a tool sharpen jewels and knead and stuff like that. But anyways, that caveman, all of them are on this fire, and they're just learning about this fire. And one man reaches into the fire. Burns are here. Hey, yeah. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Yeah. It hurts. It hurts. It hurts. Another one looks at him. Says, ah, you're what that's all about. Stick the man in the fire. Hey, I'll get you. That person does it. In the fire. Person had to. Burns is depressed. More point acetates. Doesn't do it. Just point acetates. Doesn't do it. It's a progression. But you might have 20 of them that have done you a witness to this act, saw what happens, decided through common sense that I shouldn't do that, and that 20 of cavemen will still stick your man in the fire. No, it hurts. I'll do it again. It'll be different. Oh, it hurts. I'll try it again. Oh, it hurts. So we have this progression of common sense go on for 250,000 years or so, and the people are doing the same thing today as what happened with the cavemen in the fire. Some learned from it because they observed other people getting hurt, but others kept expecting if they did the same thing again and again and again that they would get different results. They never got that common sense gene. Doctor, that control. JB0MAI. JB0MAI. Good story and good point. Experiential, but sometimes you don't learn from experience. That's a very, very, uh, 50 statement there. All right. BE3FBX. Are you expecting to answer questions on common sense? I don't know. But tell us what you think it is, and, uh, take an example if you have one. This is KC2PKG. This is BE3FBX. I think common sense is the application of intelligence and wisdom gained, and I think this is why the younger generation doesn't seem to have it. We've failed to pass it on. Can't really think of an example, but it's just a feeling."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T07:00:26+00:00","id":14002,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14001,"text":" And with that, he disappeared.

It's probably a lot of different things. Oh, you can't see from here. Uh, since some of the bags are in the week or whatever, uh, weekend, uh... I've been retired 21 years now so I only have every day as a weekend. PB7PVW, back to you. PB7PVW, alright. Yeah, yup. The uh, every day is the weekend. Yeah, well basically what happens when you retire is you lose your weekend. Every day is a work day. You know, you're not working for the weekend anymore, you're just working. Um, alright, that was a pretty good round. I hope you guys enjoyed thinking about that. And you probably will think about it some more later on today. But, it's time for the sign-on round, the 73 round and we're going to go to Gerald. V01UKZ. Final thoughts, Gerald. This is KC2PKG over to V01UKZ. Well, Grey, I just want to say, I'm sure the next morning, man, I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it very much, as a matter of fact. And I'm glad I was awake for the whole thing. I'm glad I've been awake. Because if I had to go to sleep, um, I would not be awake right now. There's no way. But, because I stayed awake, that made me feel not nearly as tired. I'm not even sure if I yawned this morning. And if I didn't, buddy, that's a rare, rare thing. Seems like our internet issue mostly worked out. It kind of dropped the audio a couple of times this morning, but didn't disconnect everyone, it looked like anyway. My repeater stayed connected through the whole thing, so that's two internet connected devices. That didn't cut out, because my repeater is connected and the All Star Bridge is connected. So when I have the internet issues, both of it starts going flaky. And that's not good. Anyhow, have an awesome day."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T07:02:07+00:00","id":14004,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14003,"text":""},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T07:14:45+00:00","id":14005,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14004,"text":" And that's really about it. It's gonna make you hard to want to do anything this afternoon, so the chicken coop's probably out till tomorrow. I did start the chicken coop this morning, like I said, I was gonna work on it throughout the night. Uh, no, I started, I've been working on it, but I've worked some more on it. However, I got it, I got all the tools uncovered, uh, you know, I keep a top of them out there, so it's, it's just about the four weeks or so. Um, anyhow, I got everything uncovered, made a couple of cuts, got a couple of studs put in, and it started to rain. And it's been really raining pretty much, also not in ever since. So that's, that's nice. Uh, the rain this time of the year, at any time of the day, uh, is really a blessing. Uh, so, uh, yeah, gotta stay inside hot and humid is not my friend. Uh, great nap today. Great, I thought the questions were on point. Uh, food, I like food, so we can talk about food at any time. Uh, with that, I do hope you all have a great Monday. Uh, and if it's a hard Monday, just remember, it will come to an end, and tomorrow we'll, uh, bring a new day. With that, KJ5-IOQ sends it back to neck control. 70 degrees. How about you, KZ? You graded my last get through. Yeah, um, wait a second, KJ5-IOQ, this is KC2PKG, uh, thanks for joining us this morning, Josh, we hope to hear you more throughout the week. Uh, Del, yes, most of yours got in and just cut out at the very end. Wished it's all 73s and then it went silent. Um, do you want, do you have other things to say? Take your chance right now. Uh, no, that's probably it, man, just wish Josh a happy birthday there toward the end, and, uh, told everyone to stick around for the worldwide friendship net. As long as you got all of that stuff, my transmission pretty much got through. Uh, VL1-UKZ, have a great day. Alright, VL1-UKZ, this is KC2PKG talking to you again tomorrow. Um, Ron, AA4-HO, it's the 73 round, do you have any final thoughts for us? Over to you, Ron, AA4-HO, this is KC2PKG. Yeah, I agree that, uh, what I've repaired or restored, that was, uh, an interesting question, because that's basically, uh, one of the strengths I have and what I like to do. And I, I have some stuff here, I gotta put a little tiny, uh, RC motor in to get that working again. But it doesn't do what, uh, the others to buy a brand new one do. It does, uh, cause I looked, even though I only pay for it with the price of this motor going in. But it's kind of a laser light and it shoots a star burst out of five little stars and then it comes back to the star and then it re- does the cycle. Uh, but none of the other newer ones do that. They'll just, uh, flicker a little. So, uh, maybe it's worth, you know, spending the extra money. I already had it apart and I know, uh, I could have it, uh, working the way it did when it was due. So I'm looking at that, uh, on, uh, uh, like real soon. I might order the parts today. It'll come, it'll be here in a couple of days. And I do like the wealth and I enjoyed sharing all of the, uh, different ways that I make it. Uh, explaining what common sense means. That, you're right, it could be used as an insult grade. So I tried to be a little careful there. Uh, though, uh, people, you know, tend to get, uh, you know, real sensitive. But I think I bled out that, um, in order to have common sense, you know, you really do need to know the material. Uh, that, uh, you're gonna make a decision with if you're gonna, uh, make the right choice or the right decision when you're doing something. And it's not good always to just rely on common sense. And, uh, we had fun with that game too today. So, uh, all around it was a great next up with a lot of different activities. I look forward to seeing everybody tomorrow. Great. You have a nice day. This is Ron AA-4-HO near Muff, Florida back to you, net control. Ron, you have a great day too. This is KC-2-PKG and that was AA-4-HO. And now we're gonna go to Chuck, AA-4-HI. Like share, explanation or lie on common sense. That was good. Um, any final thoughts? 73 round Chuck, take it away. Hey, Clay. Enjoy it. And, um, yeah. That's true. I guess, uh, sometimes people use that remark to tear down other people instead of working on themselves, you know. Uh, if we do something all the time, we're good at that thing, aren't we? But, uh, some people really are good at almost everything they do. They can figure things out. And, uh, those are amazing people. Well, you enjoyed the net. Nice to be in here again. And, um, hope you have a great day, everybody else. And, um, enjoy the cold weather while it lasts down here. And it loves humidity. Uh, 73 AA-4-HI. AA-4-HI. We're gonna have a nice, uh, a nicer, cooler, drier, uh, week this week. We've had quite a while. So, I'm looking forward to that as we get started here. Gary, MM-0-RKN. Um, I also like your, your, uh, mom's comment about common sense in the milk in the refrigerator. That was interesting. Uh, it's a 73 round. Do you have any final thoughts for us, Gary? MM-0-RKN. Yeah, Gary, it was my grandmother. In said, what, she's no longer with us? But, um, two of your questions, the Meatworlf one and the Coronavirus M1. Made me think back to those days when I used to have her every day just after school and, uh, they were happy to. But, um, she was just from the hip. I should tell you how it was, you know there was no, you know, coating it in ice or anything like that. She used to tell it as it was, so there we go. And yeah, I really enjoyed the net today as well. They're great, it's been great and blessing everybody's answers too. And I look forward to hearing again next week in exchange, even though politics questions. Anyway, have a good day everyone, 73 and hopefully catch you all again tomorrow.

Just chit-chat with everybody and coming out of the blocks slowly and taper off the plan. I wish. Hey, what Chuck said, it is a nice here today. It's 64 degrees. So I'm gonna get out here before it's supposed to come a shower. Um, I'm 11, so I'm gonna get out here. I've got just a little spot of grass. I've got a weed eat. Um, I had another boy help me get caught up on my mowing and all so far behind. But it's really nice here today. 64. And the air is just crystal clear. So I just found an awesome Volkswagen on Marketplace there. While y'all were chit-chatting. I couldn't believe it. It's a 65 grade. 1965. And it's, I guess what you'd say, a medium good shape. But they want $8,000 for that bug. It hadn't had any work done to it really. It's just a standard bug. I couldn't believe it. The things have gone way out of sight. But anyway, everything has I guess. So I'm gonna get my camper cleaned up today and get this weed eating done. And get ready for the work week. I've got to hit it tomorrow. 24-hour shift and 24 on Thursday. 12 for on Saturday and 12 hours as I work Sunday night. Anyway, I'll be around hopefully all week. We'll see how it goes. I'll probe in and out on those days. Take it easy. KM4QBC. Sorry. KM4QBC. Jeff, it was great to hear you today. This is KC2PKG. And I was looking, I entered a contest to get a Volkswagen van. A camper van. And the more I thought about it, the more I said, well let's see. Because they have, it was the early 70s. So there was no air conditioning. And apparently those things burn gas. Like, I mean, if you got 11 or 12 miles per gallon in them. You were being very lucky. And I thought about that for a while and I said, I don't think I'm willing to give up air conditioning. Alright, KC0MAI. George, it's a 73 round. Final thoughts. This is KC2PKG. You know there was this van named Merl and he studied books all the time. He wanted to become the best mechanic in the world. So, I mean, you name it. He studied books on Ford and Chevy, Toyota, GM, everything. He knew everything there was to know about them cars. How the engines worked, how the electrical system worked. All that kind of good stuff, right? But, one day he decided he was going to take an engine apart. He took out the impact wrench and he held it the wrong way and broke his arm. 70 trees, KC0MAI. Alright, KC0MAI, thanks for joining us today, George. That was great. Oh, and by the way, I was the guys who owned the garage in Harvard Square. They had their own show and the show, I couldn't remember the name of the show earlier on, but it was Car Talk. Which came on every Saturday and it was a fun show. People would call them with their car problems. And they were a funny gang. They were funny people. They really were. Alright, BE3FBX. Final thoughts. This is KC2PKG. Over to you, BE3FBX. This is BE3FBX. Just wanted to say thanks for bringing me into the net today. Hopefully I'm going to be here a little more often. Everybody have a great day. 73. BE3FBX, we hope you can make more. Every day. We'd love to see you as a regular. That'd be great. KB7PVW, you're gone, aren't you? We'll give you one more chance and then we're going to circle back and give Bill a chance.

Sir, may I get a good start for a paycheck, how about that? Alright, if you do drop us connected, I've got one more check in on this round and then we'll go to a new round of chickens. So, speaking of chicken, here's our chicken tender, Dale, K-7 YFE from KK-7 unit. Good morning Joe, I'm in that KK-7Z, net control and I can't forget Lori K-7 BCM got to recognize and acknowledge her even if she's not here to mic. In this case she's 7 YFE. Well, you know I've done a few summer jobs back in 1980, I think it was started in 1980 and went on that bitch 1982. But in 1983 that was my real, first real job, if you really want to call it a job, it was like slave labor. I was one of them like, you know, I was like a, you know, hired on at a place for people with disabilities, you know, in another town, of course. And worked there for about a year or so and finally gave up on that because, you know, I saw no advancement at all for me anyway, so I mean I wasn't trying to look into big millions of dollars or anything. I don't know, it just, my wife and job, they just didn't really care for the way I was getting paid. So, you know, less than, you know, it was like working piece wages or something like that that paid you on how much you produced. So it's production wages of sorts. You know that, that's enough of my rent. But we're looking at a pretty good day here. It's rather cloudy right now and a little overcast, but we may hopefully probably get some sunshine and hopefully not do a lot of the day. So with that, KK7Z, Net Control and friends, this is KZ7YFE sending a mic back to you and a great job on the net. Keep up the good work. Thank you all for being here. Now, let's keep coming back. Hey, sounds good there, Dale. Yeah, I don't even know, I was thinking, I don't even know if they did delivery of newspapers back on the farm. You know, I live way in the rural area, so I don't even know if they did that, but I bet something I never wound up doing. So there you go. Yeah, I know what you mean about deserving more when I was working at one particular casino. I'm like, I should be making more money. And I took a big leap and a big jump and I wound up literally multiplying my income by four times and I couldn't have been happier, which was my last job for 18 years. But now I have no job. So there you go. And with that, we're at the end of the list ready for a new round of check-ins. But the question of the day today for our new logins is what was your first paycheck? What was your first job? Not cutting your neighbor's grass or babysitting your neighbor's kids, you're washing your neighbor's car. What was your first paycheck? Your first W-2? Where did you get it from? And also, do you have any side hustles as well? I always had side hustles. So here's my thing. My very first job, I was a petroleum engineer. That's right, folks. I pumped gas at a gas station. Yeah, it was my first job in the late 70s. Yeah, when they still pumped gas, that was the guy that little bell rang when they ran over that thing and I ran out and filled up your car and checked your oil and washed your windows and all that fun stuff. That was my first real job. And I've always done the side jobs, always. Photography was a big one. I've done real estate, weddings, portraits, all kinds of stuff. But anything to make money, I used to do. So there you go. Now, that's not about me, it's about you. So I'm ready for a new round of check-ins. Anyone, anywhere, please come out. V-O-U-K-Z.

They're all yelling at me, so please be here. Yeah. Yeah, my internet is going wonky. Joe, it's cutting in and out here. I'm just waiting for my phone to connect to be a cellular. There we go. Standby one. There we go. At least I know I'm getting through now. Internet is still a little wonky, man, weirdly enough. And when it conks my repeater out, it conks out my node and my phone and all that when it's on Wi-Fi. But it just disappears for a second. It's like packets stop transmitting, and then they just start again. It's not enough to disconnect anything, but it's enough to cut the audio out briefly, weirdly enough. But yeah, everything's going good, man. My first job was call center. It was a call center. We're scam call centers, I think, to be honest with you. We were selling an actual product, and that was the British Business Directory. Apparently, it was like a yellow page just for business in the UK. And that's what we were selling. So we'd be cold calling farmers and businesses and stuff that were in this area and make sure that they knew that their subscription was up for renewal. Even though they probably weren't even in this British Business Directory before, we were going to make sure that they signed up for it. And it was expensive. But there was an actual book, and it did get sent out and stuff like that. So it wasn't a scam. But I mean, this was the late 1990s, early 2000s. It was like around the turn of the millennium. And even back then, I felt like it was a scam of some sort. So I didn't trust it even then. Let me reset. But I was just starting college, just finished high school the year before. So making hundreds of dollars a week was cool by me. I didn't care what I was selling. Try to sell ice to an Eskimo if they were going to pay me for it, you know. But then it was shortly after that, I went back to school, and it was shortly after that that I ended up working for the government and was shipped out to Africa in 2001. So that was when the big checks started rolling in. And I was in Africa, so I wouldn't spend that any money. So when I got back from there, I had a pretty healthy bank account that I blew through very quickly in my early 20s. Bought a motorcycle, of all things, with a vision problem and no motorcycle license. Needless to say, ended up driving that thing on a dirt road only. It was up by a cottage. And ended up selling the thing at a huge, huge loss. 15 years later. So that's my story, Joe. Great to be out here just morning, man. And I was just shocked. I didn't realize that something was interfering with my game controller. I'm here playing some Doom Eternal. And it has gyro in the controller, so you can aim just by moving the controller around. You don't have to move any joystick or anything. You just physically move the controller left to right and up and down. And it moves you around in the game and acts like a mouse just by moving the controller. So it's pretty cool. But when you were taking check-ins, I was calibrating my gyro on the controller. And every time the repeater would transmit, the three gyro positions would move. And the calibration in the controller was perfectly still on the table. But the repeater was interfering with the gyro calibration, which I thought was absolutely crazy. As far as I know, it doesn't even use RF. It uses motion and a gyroscopic sensor in the controller. But for some reason, it interfered. Anyway, man, I'll leave you with it. 73 and all the best from here on the rocks. This is V01 in the UK. November, Quebec, November. All-star, node 6222. Located in Shelton, Washington. Hey, sounds good there, Dale. Well, that's interesting to have a job out of the country, for sure. I know what you mean. One of my early, when I first moved to Vegas, I worked two jobs, though I wasn't making a whole lot of money. I was always working, so I didn't have time to spend my checks. I literally was collecting checks and didn't even have time to cash them. So that was pretty cool there. And yeah, I know. There's one of the drones out there that has one or several that you can get. It's just a hand controller. It's just like a stick you hold. And as you turn it left, turn it right, turn it forward, turn it back, that's how you operate the drone with all the gyros and stuff. It's pretty cool. Don't have that. And I never get a call center. Nick, I did work in a room reservations office. I did do that. But call centers are certainly very popular. So anyway, thanks, Dale. Always good to hear you there. Hope you're having a great day. And let's go to Cliff. Cliff, I didn't hear the footpath. I'm using my footpath every day now. And my toe is still, sometimes it's not looking good. Sometimes it is looking good. I don't know. But my toe now hasn't grown in over three months. So everything I read is going to fall off one of these days. So we'll see. And 08C from KTH7's even in. Well, good morning, everybody. Good morning, Joe. God, last night, I only did 25 miles. And I had a hard time going home. I don't know what happened. And then I woke up in the middle of the night with cramps and all that. And I do not know what happened with that. So hope that doesn't happen too much and stuff. So first job was this restaurant, really amazing restaurant, McDonald's. Mwah! So french fry, man. All this stuff. So what was that thing? $1.65 an hour. And what they did is they used to get, if you, oh, what was it in there? Anyway, if you went a certain long and stuff and everything, you'd get all the free food. And that's the only reason I stretched it out. When they changed it, said, we're going to give you $0.20 more since. No more of that, I go. And that was in one more week, they said. And I go, well, in one more week, I quit. I quit, I quit, I quit. So I went through, we're doing construction and doing sledgehammer and stuff like that. I used to really like that. Really, I used to be pretty strong in the days. So that was pretty good there. Let's see, what else I got? Oh, I got to do the bass thing. So I set off, I did guitar before bass. And bass has more positions than everything else. It's just like anything. It's just how you play it. And as far as people put on, yeah, some movies I've seen that way and stuff. But also, but during a year of funk and all that, the bass player was up front without no doubt. Especially if you get slapped and all that. But yeah, one of my favorite movies, he didn't even tell them. He doesn't even have a name because of what you say. Anyway, it's all good stuff. But anyway, wow. You know what I used? I had to use this stuff for pickle juice. And it usually works pretty good, but not last night. All right. Anyway, back to Ned. And I appreciate it. Joe, you be the man in 080. Hey everybody, here, Cliff. You know, a couple of months ago, it seemed like after an hour into my ride, it's lately been those 44, 45 miles. By the hour into my ride, I was getting these severe cramps. I literally would have to get off my bike and try to massage my calf muscles and stuff. And I never figured out why. I never ever had that problem in the past. So I don't know where that came from. I had it for maybe a month. So, and pickle juice, never really tried it. I grew like pickles. And yeah, I remember my first job, bumping gas. I think it might have been two or three dollars an hour. It wouldn't have a lot. But you know, back at the time it was decent. So there you go. Anyway, good to hear that, Cliff. Have a great day. And where are we? Yeah, keep riding it. Let's go to Pappy. So I've got Pappy, Phil, Robert, Rosie, Joe and Mel coming up. So Pappy, N7HV from KK7's unit. Good grief. You want me to take back that one? Oh, well, last year I know I would let you. I did have a gasoline station job and got to check people's oil and stuff like that. And I can't remember what I was going to do. I think I was getting a buck and a quarter an hour, something like that. And the local grocery store walking distance from the house. I think that one paid a buck and a quarter. And that's where I got the first paycheck. I'm not positive. But anyway, you know, it was a fresh, you know. Couldn't hit the button to total the sales if there was an alcohol purchase because I wasn't over, I think, 21 at that time in order to sell somebody the alcohol. So it was interesting. The customer had alcohol. I had to have somebody else come over and push the total button or whatever, something that was 21. But that was kind of cool. Of course, like a lot of us that lived in the city had paper routes. You know, one of them was early morning. Had to get up 0 dark 30 and like, shovel goes down. And I did it as a kid, not now. And run on the bicycle, do the route, get back home, and grab another cat and a half for an hour, get up and go to school. And so anyway, that's really my working early career anyway. So with that, grab that rag and spray it with Microban. Well, I wasn't on the air, so nobody's going to get sprayed today. Here you go, Joe. Here's wipe, wipe, wipe, wipe. Yeah, now the mic's 99.9% germ free for the next 24. Have a good one, he's so nice of you. Back to net. Well, you know, I'm always worried about that 0.01% or 0.1%. And if I go into 25 hours, then I'm in trouble. So there you go. Thanks, Pappy. Yeah, remember in the old days, pumping gas, the machines didn't shut off at $20 or whatever. You had to manually stop it. And I remember it was almost impossible to stop those pumps at the exact pain. And at the end of the day, I remember the boss saying, we've got to watch that and how much money we would lose in a day by going over one, two, three cents on filling gas up. It really added up at the end of the day. So there you go. Anyway, thanks, Pappy. You have a great day there. Let's go to Phil, K0OBX from KK7. You're in. Hey, Joe, this is K0OBX. Thanks for taking my time. K0OBX, thanks for taking my check in. Well, my first W2 was from Holiday Inn. But my first professional W2 was from Schlumberger Offshore Services. I worked down in the Gulf of America. It was the Gulf of Mexico. And I worked on offshore rigs. And as a well-known engineer or a case-toll engineer, I would take a crew boat or fly a chopper out to a rig and perform a well service and then come back. So yeah, that was the old days done. And I worked in the case-toll division of Bellchase in Bellchase, Louisiana, Schlumberger Offshore Services. So anyway, I'm cooking up some gumbo this morning. I started out with the roux. I cook that down till it's dark. That's oil and flour, a.k.a. Cajun napalm. And then I added to that the Cajun Holy Trinity, which is onions, green peppers, and celery. Cooked that down, threw some garlic in at the end so as not to burn it. And yeah, that's doing right now. I'm about to throw in the sausage, some andouille. So that's what's cooking in my shack. Thanks for taking my check in, Joe. K0OBX. Back to Nick. Hey, sounds good there, Phil. And Cajun napalm. I like that. I'm already having a vision of that. So I ate something the other day. I don't know what the heck it was. But boy, if you have heart burners, I don't get to be too bad. But it sure did. And oil rigs, you know, one of my clients worked on the oil rigs. I guess he's passed now. So I guess I can say his name. It was Dennis Gurney. And if you Google him, you'll see there was some fire or something that happened on the oil rig. And he went back to rescue some people. He got terribly burned, like 80%, 90% of his body, and was really messed up. But he was a client for many, many, many years. And unfortunately, there was some bad stuff happening. If you Google that name, you'll see he met a very sad demise, Dennis Gurney. So anyway, thanks, Phil. Have a great day there. And let's go somewhere deep underground in a hidden bunker and check in with Robert, KatiePorch, your tube from KTH7's E-minute. Good morning, Joseph. And good morning to everyone else on the worldwide pressure pit for a very cloudy Monday. But I tell you what, the temperature has taken a dive. We're down in the 70s, where we were around 100. So I'm liking it, like the McDonald's commercial. I'm liking it, or I'm loving it or something. Anyway, had a great weekend. We had my daughter-in-law, my son. And it was her birthday. We went out to eat a couple of really, really good restaurants. But of course, this is a seat from Cappie Wolf, South Carolina. So yeah, I'm not going to brag too much about it. But you all know. You all? You get it? Anyway, wow. We started out the weekend on Friday around noon time. We went to an early matinee for a naked gun with Liam Neeson and what is her name? Pamela Anderson. And I have to tell you, Cappie looked at me halfway through, or not even halfway through, about 15 minutes in. And she goes, this movie stinks. You want to leave? I can never walk out of a movie before. That was the first time. And she goes, I'm going to ask for my money back. I had never. I was so embarrassed. I walked in. She went over to the manager. And the manager was sweet as pie. And she said, sure, honey. I mean, she's done that before. And I've never, ever, ever, ever heard of such a thing. And needless to say, it was really, really cold in that theater. And before she asked for a refund, she went down there and said, you know, it's cold in here. They turned the air conditioner down. So my god. Anyway, let me break for a second. I'll tell you what my first job was. Yeah, I had a newspaper route also. We were poor. I didn't even have a bike. I was deluded by a foot. Wow, can you imagine? You know, kids have a lot of stamina. I was delivering the New York World Telegram and Sun. No longer in publications. Long, long gone. But I was a kid shop, of course. But the real job I had was we were sifting embossing powders. You know, back then, greeting cards had those raised letters. They raised the letters with embossing powder, which was like yeast. And so I would put them in the sifters and say, I'll tell you what, man, I had more, my eyes, my eyes were plugged up, my ears were plugged up, my nose was plugged up. It was a nasty, disgusting job. And all for a dollar and fifteen hour. And I was sixteen years old and seventeen at the time. Yeah, it was a union shop. So I had to pay like five bucks out of my fifty dollar pay for nothing anyway. Wow. It brings back some memories. And not all of them were good. Anyway, I'm gonna turn it back over to you, Joe. I'm not gonna spray any micro-ban. I'm not gonna say if it's cool, if it's dry, if it's warm, if it's... But I tell you what, the temperature has taken a really nice dive. And as I said, it's always 72 and sunny in the bunker. I'll turn it back over to you, KK70. Running a good, net and a tight ship from Kilo Bravo to Romeo Quebec Quebec. Hey, sounds good there, Robert. You know, when I heard that movie, they were remaking it. I'm like, nobody can beat, I can't think of his name now. Nobody can replace him in a movie. And when I heard Liam Neeson was doing it, I'm like, you know what? He's got a shot of actually pulling it off. So yeah, I'm kind of bummed to hear that it didn't. So yeah, I will just wait to check it out when it comes to why it's not even cable anymore. I guess when it comes to streaming is the proper term today. And oh yeah, yeah, paper routes and all that is always good. Oh, I have to jump back. When I said that Google that name, Dennis Gurney, actually put that in, put oil rig hero or cop killer, unfortunately. Yeah, cause I see there's other ones in there too. Anyway, thanks Robert. Have a great day there. Say hi to Kathy for us and let's go to Ms. Rosie, VE4YYL from KK7Z. Good morning Rosie. Oh, KK7Z, this is Victor Acofoia, Angolima. Good morning to you. Good morning to the Leblings out there. And good morning to the Lefords. I hope they're out there and everybody else. And Joe Mayo there right after me coming up. Wow, I'm in between two Leblings. Wow. I've never had that before, but however, but I'm squeezing one more person in here. So I pass over the mic to my lovely husband of before I do that, but having a job, no, I did not. But I know, I remember when I was seven years old and I helped a lady home with groceries and she paid me for that. And then when I was older, about 12 years old, I helped in the kitchen out and I used to get paid for that as well. Doing pizza, doing french fries and stuff like that. And then when I was a little bit older, not 15, I was handling the bar, like, you know, drinks and whatnot. So I got mad. That's when I got paid, that's for sure. And then I had a job. I didn't want to do anything like that no more. I was a packer and you know, you're artificial trees. We used to make those from scratch with the aluminum and put them in boxes. That's what I used to do. Done a small, doing the tree and also packing that in a box. So seven trees, take care. And I got the mic over my lovely eyes. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven. Good morning, I'm E84 DWLSC. Like a few others, I used to deliver newspapers then I wound up delivering flyers. But my first real name job, I worked as a stripper, which doesn't, isn't what it sounds like. I worked in a box factory and when the cardboard came out of the press that cut it to shape, my job was to strip off the excess cardboard. It was a nice shift and actually it was one of the, one of the better paying jobs in that box factory. I had that for one summer and lo and behold, with a buy and a buy, my second job was actually when I joined the military. I did spend some time in the reserves before I went into the regular force. But all, all class that all together is I joined the military and when I got out of the military, I worked as a security guard for a little while and then I went to doing what I do now. So I haven't had a variety of jobs, but I like to stick to them. Not much more to pass on. I got one more. I got this one. The other thing I want to mention is, yeah, I was, I was, I was, I was, yeah, I was looking forward to seeing, being just, missed it on the movie. Oh yes, Naked Gun. Nobody can do Leslie Nelson and boy, it sounds like just disappointing. I'm going to have to wait till I get reports from, from other people. And Rosie's yelling something that she forgot to say, but I'll give it to neck control. And if you want us to get back to neck, to Rosie, that's up to neck control. The 4GWN. Oh, of course we got to get it back to Rosie. Yeah, go ahead Rosie. Yes. One thing I forgot to mention, there was a place that they used to do sponges, you know, for all different types of sponges and we used to cut them down. That was a dangerous place actually. But I didn't hold out until they closed down actually. They had to close down because there was so many people got sick on that. So we used to cut them and we used to put them in bags to sell, ship them off, you know. So back to neck control. Thank you for letting me in again. Well, that's interesting. Yeah, I worked for a lot of closed businesses back in Pittsburgh at the height of the steel mills shutting down in the 1980s. And yeah, so many jobs I had before I know it, they closed. And I was out of a job, then I had to go find another one and I was out of a job. Then finally I moved to Las Vegas. And Glenn was a stripper. How about that? We have our first stripper here. And Glenn was a stripper. Glenn was a stripper. Glenn was a stripper. We have our first stripper here. I like that. Good stuff, always good to hear you guys. And we're gonna have another dynamic duo coming up here soon, because Joe and Joyce, I've got you on the list. It's your time to check in. So I've got Joe, KK7JOE, I've got Mel, KV7PVW, and then Joe and Joyce, and then we'll have a new round of chickens. So let's go to Joe, KK7JOE from KK7's internet. Hey, good morning there, Joe. And good morning to everyone on that KK7JOE, Joe here in Las Vegas, the other other Joe. Not much going on this morning. Been a rough night for me health-wise again. Not really feeling all up to par this morning. But, you know, I have more good days than bad days, so that's always a good thing. Anyway, going back to the jobs. My first actual paying job on the books, aside from a paper route, was I worked at a supermarket. It's ShopWise supermarket. My sister had gotten me the job, and that's when we had to have working papers, because I was underage, and I think I was about 14 or so. And so we had working papers. That should bring you back a little bit. And I just had to laugh when I was working. When you said the petroleum engineer, we used to come up with terms like that for job applications and for interviews, and they would ask us, you know, what was that? And we would just dance around it, but we always just maybe really laughed going back to the petroleum engineer, because we had all sorts of terms for simple jobs. And I always had stuff off the books. But anyway, my first real paying job that paid a lot more than the military was when I did elevators. The military was kind of to keep my butt out of trouble at the time, even though I enjoyed the military and I ended up staying for quite a while. That's not the reason why I went in. I always wanted to go in, but I wanted to go in kind of on my terms, not for the terms that I went under. But anyway. But my first real paying job was when I worked in the elevator industry as an elevator technician. And we used to refurbish elevators in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx. I loved that job. And as a teenager, I was watching, it was my early 20s. I was making then about 80 to 90,000 a year doing elevators. And then when I went into a unionized shop, we made with the overtime, I should say overtime with side jobs. We always had side jobs. So you asked about side jobs. We always had some sort of side job going on no matter what job I had. If I was working in auto mechanics or whatever work, whenever we used to pick other people's cars and I used to go to their houses, they needed a break stud. That was a big job I used to do all the time, breaks, oil changes, replacing batteries. I used to do that for people all the time. And I never really charged anybody anything. They used to just give me what they felt that was worth it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T08:08:47+00:00","id":14013,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14012,"text":" Anyway, not sure what happened there. Did my transmission come out all the way through? I don't know what's going on with my iPad. Yeah, you did. You dropped for a second. I think you timed out. But now you're gone altogether. Your note's probably on the new drop I'm taking. So call back if you're there. Well, according to my iPad, I didn't time out. I still had another minute and whatever, minute and ten seconds. So I'm not sure what happened there. But I'm on the radio instead. Anyway, but that was a real, that was my first real job, was elevator technician. And that was when I was right out of basic training, about a year or two after that, about a year after basic training. And I worked with my brother-in-law and that was just a great, great job. I learned so much and then I became one of the youngest mechanics, or youngest to be a mechanic. I went through journeyman electrician school after the basic electrician course. But I did it at the same time. I took all my courses, I took like two different courses a week and did that for a couple of years. And went from a helper to mechanic in about two, a little over two years, a little under two years. So I was one of the youngest and one of the fastest to go through the program. So I was pretty happy at the time and I did very well. Anyway, other than that I will turn it back to you. Not much else going on here. And I'm getting ready to see Naked Gun tomorrow with my wife. So after hearing Robert, my wife, right away, should we go see something else? Should we not go, but I'll go and see how it is, if I already paid for the ticket, if I had the credit on there from several years ago through Fandango. I guess a movie I couldn't make or whatever and I think I paid $2.85 or something like that to go see the movies tomorrow. So I'm thinking for $2.85 if it's not that good, I didn't really waste that much money. Anyway, back to you there Joe. K-T-7 J-O-E here in Las Vegas. Alright there Joe, sounds good. Yeah, I'm looking on Rotten Tomatoes now real quick just to see... Actually you know what? The Naked Gun gets a 90% on the Tito-Mometer, the tomato-mometer, and $77 by the Popcorn-Mott-Meter which is the audience. So interesting. I think it's almost like the airplane movie, you have to be in the right mood. Although Robert is quite the big comedian so if he didn't get it, I'd be seriously concerned about that movie. So I'm going to wait for the streaming. Anyway, thanks Joe. I forgot to mention, I did have a client of mine that was an elevator tech and it's something I learned there. Most elevators, well not one floor but maybe up to three floors were hydraulic, like a hydraulic lift in a garage. And then the big ones of course had cables and that's why the shorter ones bounce and jerk sometimes. And then I did mechanical work on the side too, didn't really enjoy it but I did do great jobs and stuff on the side. Any hikes that back in my day, anything to make a little bit of money was good. Anyway, let's go. I've got Mel and Joe and Joyce coming up. So now on PVW from DK7. Good morning Mel."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T08:12:13+00:00","id":14014,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14013,"text":" and I check here, I think I let everything reset. And I can't remember for sure, but I think, well, I had a job at the Rainier Pope and Paper Mill, I think that's what it was. It was Rainier and it was big rolls of paper, like 20 feet long, three or four foot in diameter. They weighed many, many tons. And one of the jobs I had first there was sweeping the floor in that huge factory, changing, well, these cores, when we used the paper down, there was maybe a quarter, a half inch of paper on these cardboard cores, 20 feet long. And I was given a knife, a paper knife, which I still have today with changeable blades, big, strong, changeable blades. And I had to strip off this half inch of paper on these 20 foot rolls so they could reuse the roll again. Rainier, I think it was Pope and Paper, or Paper Company, maybe just the Paper Company. That was the first job there. And then very quickly, I did that and managed to get a job as an apprentice over in the electrician's department, pulling around Sparky. He was a full-fledged electrician. He was taking care of all the electrical stuff, 2300 motors and stuff in the Rainier plant. So that's what my first job was. Anyway, that's a long time ago, Joe. Back in that KC7GHD. Well, yeah, I know what you're saying. My first job there was, as I said, I was a petroleum engineer. I was pumping gas at a gas station. And that's when gas was, oh, I think about $0.50 a gallon before the second big rise in prices, up to $1.40 or so. But yeah, imagine that. And then I remember when it was $0.30 a gallon. So anyway, I wish you luck with your back pain. And I hope that works out. I've had some back pain here lately from my crash. And I knew inevitably anytime you get in operation, you're gonna get arthritis. And I sure hope that's not starting to settle in because that's got back pain, less than worse than back pain, no doubt. So anyway, thank you both. And picking fruit. Yeah, Bob did that too. I mean, everything on the farm, we had fruits and vegetables and animals and getting eggs, nothing like getting fresh eggs down from the hen house. There you go. All right, you are looking to do the work. I am Joe in Las Vegas KC7GHD control. And we're ready for another round of check-ins. And today's question of the day was, it was, it is, what was your first real pain job that you got a paycheck in W-2 form from not babysitting or cutting grass? What was your first real pain job? And did you have any side projects to do anything on the side? Joe was my, I did mechanical work on the side of the cars, but my main thing was photography on the side. Did a lot of weddings and parties. And my buddy who you've seen in the videos, I photographed a lot of his events and parties for him. So anyway, Gail, K-Zero ECK, I have you on the list. I see you that are logged in there and I know you have a hard time. So anybody else that wants to check into worldwide friendship net, come on in now. And again, we recommend you check out it here.

And I don't know how labor laws work on farms now. I know that raid they did on that pot farm in California, at first it was an illegal pot farm, but there were like 12 year olds working there and I know that was a big issue. So, yeah, I don't know what that is because I mean, we were out there pulling weeds and digging potatoes and stuff and I was probably 80 years old. And of course I wasn't getting a paycheck so I don't know if that even counts as a labor law. Who knows? What the heck did I just do? There we go, okay. But anyway, thanks for always getting to hear there. And last on the list here, we've got Joe and Joyce. I think I know what Joyce's main job was. I don't know if it was her first job or not, but KEC7LRS and KEC7GC from KEC7's internet. Good morning Joe and Joyce. Good morning there Joe. Yeah, you're really making us put on our thinking cap here and going back that long ago. Yeah, my very, very first job was cutting peaches at my uncle's peach ranch. He was raising 3,000 white leghorn chickens and he had the big orchard of peaches that he sold. So I was cutting peaches, earning money for hay for my first horse. I think I was like 13 or something like that. Yeah, and then I went on to help during the summertime out from high school. We had friends that had an old time printing shop so I worked in there for a while with the printer. And then also another summertime job with the AAA auto. I guess handing out maps and stuff and talking to some of the customers. And then on to the big plant where eventually Matt Joe, when he got a job when he came down from Aberdeen, Washington, or Pachamopolis. And that was printing running machinery and belts that printed out egg cartons. So I had that for about two years and that was really hard on the health because there was different shifts every week. So that night shift just about killed me. So that's when I thought I got to get out of here and get a decent job where I'm not doing something like that. And on dirty air and everything as well. So that was the long distance, or local first and then long distance operator. So that was my favorite. I really, really enjoyed that work. Talked to a lot of well known, interesting people and just did a great job. So anyway, and talking about movie theaters, I will not set my foot in another theater after that Elvis movie a couple years ago. And it just about put my, maybe about practically go unconscious because the seat was all loud, the floor was shaking, my head was breaking. I thought I will never ever step foot in another theater. So no way Jose. Anyway, we got to get ready here to go pretty quick. Just got to tell Joe he's going to have his first meeting and consultation, or second really, of the stem cell to get rid of this back pain. So we've got to get ready for that. So I'll turn it over to Joey, this KC7 LRS. Good hearing everybody."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T08:16:03+00:00","id":14016,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14015,"text":" I think today I consider picking strawberries for kids is like child labor. I don't think they, I don't know if they're not the kids picking strawberries anymore. It's a different world out there. But my brother, my, yeah, my guard works at the school. I work at the school. I'm a little bit of a kid. I'm not too hot today. I think just maybe in the 70s. But my brother, my, yeah, my guard works at Gresham Berry Growers. Up towards Gresham which is about 12 miles east of Portland. A lot of berry fields back in those days. And he works at the flavor factory there, Henry. And so when I was 16 I think I had to work for a minute. Went out there, I was like a junior in high school. And I made, I think my first check was like $80. I couldn't believe it, you know. I was rich. I've never seen that kind of money. But it was a union, a pension union. They paid a buck 75 an hour in 1958. So that was, it was kind of a summer job. So I did that a couple summers. I went to work for a department store down in Portland, Myer and Frank. Big department store. And I think it paid a dollar an hour. So when June came, that was kind of a winter job. When June came I knew I could go back to the cannery at a buck 75. So I quit Myer and Frank and went back to the cannery. So my brother told me that they'd come out and ask for seniority. I don't have any years of work there. Because I had none at first. But my brother told me just stand around and everybody leaves. There'd be like 15 or 20 guys or whatever. And he would pick people with the most seniority. And quite often I'd hang around for a half hour or so. I don't know why I remember the guy's name was Adolf. Big old German guy.

OK, we'll put on the breaks there, that's, what do I got, seven actually beat, because Missy wanted to be put on the end of the list, so she very well may put the rips on it. So I've got Gail, Glenn, Roy, Terry, Phil, Honorary Check, Mel, Honorary Check, and Carrie, and Missy. So let's go to the top and see if Gail is there. Kilo ECT from KK7's in the net. I am here and thank you so much for putting me on this, I do appreciate that. Well, it's good to be 89 today, it might rain, we'll have to kind of wait and see. I never, I always had jobs that, my W-2's were actual jobs, not when I was a young person kind of jobs. I've done counseling for blind people, and most of my job was being a vending operator, and the telephone operation for a while, the telephone operation I guess was the weirdest one, because with one of these companies that they did collect calls for prisoners, and man I tell you, those guys gave extensive phone calls. Anyway, I'll have a wonderful day, and we'll probably see you guys all tomorrow. I don't know what your business call on the list, I mean the net, Missy or me, but I'll be there to help one way or the other, K-0 ECT. Thank you there, Gail, glad we got you in there. Yeah, you were making me think, remember, there was a time that you could hit the zero on the phone and get an operator, I don't think that happens anymore. If you had to make any kind of calls and collect calls, yeah, I remember calling cards and all that, there's so many flashbacks with the telephone, so. Anyway, thank you Gail, say hi to Hank for us, and let's go to Gwen, I'm glad you got in there Gwen, K-6 TKR from TK-7's unit. Good morning Joe, and thank you very much, and good morning to everybody else on the net. I think I finally made it back to life, still a little bit nasal, but I feel 100%. I just thought I'd throw a couple of fun things in before I get to the real job, but one of the first as a kid was through BoysLife, I got involved in burpee seeds, I don't know if you remember burpee seeds. I would run around town and try to sell these seeds, and it was mostly people felt sorry for me, so they would buy a few bags of seeds there. Then painted house numbers on curbs, and mowed lawns, so those things were fun. Out of one or two things, which was the first legit job in high school, furniture appliance company, drive truck, bed sets, so we drove it to the house and actually unloaded and installed those parts. The most interesting one is that I was a stock boy at a liquor store there in Ridgecrest, which was a very small town at that time in the middle of the Mojave Desert. The liquor store was owned by a relative of Ray Manzara, who was part of The Doors. It was interesting because every once in a while he would come into the store for whatever reason, I don't know, but The Doors were very popular at that time and that was certainly a lot of fun to experience. And then sort of a side job is I was rhythm guitar player for a band called The Reason Why, and so we played all the county fairs and stuff like that. And actually it was fairly lucrative, I was enough money to actually buy my first car. So anyway, that's all I have for you this morning. This is K6-K-R, back to net. K6-K-R, K7, November, Quebec, November, All Star, Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Well yeah, I sure do remember the Burpee Heats. Yeah, I remember those very well, of course, being on the farm. You know the funny thing about living on the farm is I could kill a plastic plant today. I was just a kid then, I didn't do all the stuff, but I had never been able to grow stuff. And yeah, I certainly mowed lawns and plowed driveways in the snow in the winter. But yeah, working in the stockroom in a liquor store, I might have a problem there because I like my fine wine. So yeah, who knows there. Being in a band would be cool. If I ever had a dream thing, I think I'd love to be in a band. Probably on today's world I think you can make a whole lot, but back in the day I think that would have been really cool and a whole lot of fun. So there you go. Yeah, Rayman's there, yeah. A lot of people forget about The Doors, everybody knows Jim Morrison, but that's one of the bands that a lot of people don't know the rest of the band. So I do know that name. Thank you Glenn, glad we got you in there. And let's go to Roy. This is kind of a rare treat. I know Roy keeps a busy schedule. So K7PPL from KK7. Good morning Roy. Well good morning Joe, I hope I'm doing okay. Because I set my levels and it didn't seem to be the same. So hopefully I got it right this time. Anyway, my first job, yeah I worked at a plant in rural Nebraska that made powdering products. And the other side of the plant they had eggs came in from local farmers all around. And they had machines that separated the oats from the whites and came over to my side of the plant. And we had these big dryers, it was like a big metal box with sprayers on the wall. And it was 147 degrees, if I remember correctly in there. And by the time the spray hit the floor it was dry. And then these augers and so forth got out of the big box. And then it wound up after a series of augers and all sorts of metal things and whatnot. The part where I was, where this big shaker thing would shake all the lumps out of it. All day long man, it was all man. Anyway, my job was to make sure that there was within 4 ounces of the correct weight whether it was a giant 150 pound drum or a tiny 6 pound bag. And those little, I couldn't keep up with the 6 pound bags every so often. But every 10 minutes it would happen to me. That was horrible. That only happens a few times otherwise I think I would have quit. Anyway, I used to wonder a year when I'd open that thing up and this big cloudy yellow dust would come up and get yellow, orange disease. Anyway, back to you. KI-7, PK up. That's funny, that's good. Well you know at least the powdered eggs were actually eggs. Somehow I think if you went to look on a box of powdered eggs today it probably wouldn't have any egg in the ingredients. I'm glad we got you in there and had yourself a great day. Your audio sounds fine, you sound good. Yeah, that 3039 is it on there today? Yeah it's on there, I haven't heard anything from it. We've got a lot of interference popping in the last... ...all my groups of a lot. Is there anything coming through it today? So, I'm glad we got you in there. We've got a lot of interference popping in the last... ...all my groups of a lot. Is there anything coming through it today? So, yeah, I don't know what's up with that. Was it a great day there?

I was working for Stafford Bean Yards, doing green beans, pulling them off the vine, and you got paid by, by weight, and so on and so forth. The next job, let's see, the next job was Burley's Arco, we serviced, four service trucks, and I had my permit, and he put me in a truck and said, drive this, and I said, but I gotta have somebody in the car. He said, not today, he says, you're working with me, he says, I'm behind you, he says, if a cop pulls you over, I'll pull that right behind him and let him know what's going on.

And let's see what this label do, he says. Anyway, he's gonna let me grab my man so I don't time out. I'll back this up with Mike Romeo. I worked the gold slot in the hard work plant, and we were doing a 196 inch panel, still hot from the press, and it had to be unstacked the first time, otherwise the mill had to shut down while we regrouped, and then our stuff would go over and go through the sander. That's when I went into the service, and that's because the oldest of eight children, and the latter, they came home, I didn't figure I was gonna be looking at doing too awful much education in the past high school, so I went in the service to get my VA benefits.

And I was gonna say, learning to drive, yeah, and me in 1959, dump truck, it was a big boy too, on the farm. Learned to shift the gears and all that, so by the time I hit the road, on a car, it was easy. So there you go, and I had something else, and yeah, I'm having that brain fart there Terry, but thanks for checking in, thanks for that, and have a great day, glad we got you guys in, check in, hook up to a waiter, so glad we got you in there. So I've got Phil and Ellen rechecked, so let me get Carrie first from Ireland. So I'm M0RKN from KK7 Z- And the question of the day, my first job was actually working as a travel agent, and I did this as a weekend job, and I loved the job, people phoning up to book the holidays, it was very enjoyable to the point that I almost quit university to do the job full time. But I did it in a Saturday and Sunday, and it was a steady wage, steady paycheck that I got each month while I was studying at university. At the time I was studying psychology, and yeah, then I don't know how it happened, but I ended up now working in the local government. Completely went in a different direction, but yeah, you know what it is, get mortgagee, end up with responsibility, get married and all of that as well, and get the bill today, so all of that, Kenny was out and out, and never looked for the work with the We're going through this forum, anyway it's a weather warning, we're getting quite stormy, it started about 10am this morning, and it's going to continue until at least 10pm this evening.

Hey, well thank you for carrying in, I remember one of my early jobs, I worked at an airport parking lot and we had a travel agency there, and I remember the travel agency at that time, and then going back to the 1980's, they used to get to travel for free back in those days, because they were selling whatever they were selling, and of course businesses, hotels, airlines, one of them the Port of the Bay, and the other one was the So yeah, that sounds like it would be a fun job, I don't even know if those exist anymore, with today's do it yourself world, a lot of jobs have gone away due to that, so there you go, but thanks Gary, always good to hear you there, and let's go for Phil on a recheck, G0OBX from KK7Z.

You have a solo performer that goes out there and they have hired guns, you know, they hire a drummer, session people, it's, yeah, that artistic aspect of music is gone, unfortunately. Yeah, I miss those days. And yeah, that's some of the things, split it three ways, you know what, because that's why if you look at bands like, put a letter to Skinner Head, I think seven members and on and on, and I think a lot of these bands realize at some point, hey, let's have three members and we'll split it three ways instead of seven.

Thanks for that input. Have a great day. I've got Mel and then Missy will put the bows on it and I'll get some breaky. So let's go to, back to Mel, KB7 TV. TV, give it for the TV, please, give it to me. Hello again, I was going to say, I have that 49 Ford and I remember paying $150 for it and $150 for a six-month insurance. So I basically was broke, I didn't have any money. But my friends were giving me money for gas back in those days, for a dollar you could get like $3 worth of gas. In fact, back in the early sixties when I was going with Linda Lou, they had gas wars, you could get gas here in Portland for $19 a gallon, believe it or not. So I told her if it hadn't been for that, we probably wouldn't have made it because she lived out in Sandy, which is like 30 miles east of Portland. So I took her downtown Portland to a show or something, it was like 30 miles out, 30 miles back. So that day was like a 60-mile trip. But anyway, let's see, we had some foster kids when my son was about nine because he was the only child. So we had a couple Eskimo boys and a little boy named Tony. I really liked him, I would have liked to have kept him. And we had my niece later on. But, oh, and Linda Lou used to babysit because I had basically a minimum-oriented job, tried to raise a child. And so she babysit and she got this little girl and one day she came and she was all black and blue."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T08:29:34+00:00","id":14021,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14020,"text":" Well, I see him there.

So anyway, my first job was with Industries for the Blind. I would go a couple days a week and do switchboard operator, which was fun. I liked it. Kind of. Didn't like my boss, but I liked the job. Then I started working for Matrix Marketing. That's when I really got paid. I really liked it. I was a customer service agent. I was a customer service agent my entire career. But my favorite job was Southwest Airlines. I loved that job. Worked there for six years. Got paid pretty well. Worked part time. Went and laid me off because I closed the center. I was making like $1,443 an hour, 20 hours a week. Best job ever. I loved that job. So yeah, that was just part of my career there. And then I wanted to tell you just now, I asked. Because Phil just said his weather was cooler. So I asked my device when the weather was going to be here. It's 99 degrees. So I said, can't you make it cool off for me? And she goes, oh, I wish I could. But my weather's in beta testing still. So I guess we have to rely on Mother Nature. On nature. It cracked me up. I was like, oh my gosh. That's funny. So there you go. And then let me reset everything to tell you. I've got some name music that came out. A song I wrote for a friend of mine. Oh, god, this is hard. I wrote a song called She's Always Near You. Her mother passed away. And I thought maybe it would help her with her grief since I've experienced loss of parents. And it's super hard. So I wrote it quite a lot myself. Oh, god. And put it out. So check it out when you guys get a chance. But I wrote this other cute song called Coffee Girl. There's a girl here that brought me coffee a couple times. And she asked me if I would write a song with the line Coffee Girl. And so I thought, why is it shy enough? And so I started thinking about it and figuring out some lines and got something that worked. And she loves it. I mean, loves it. It's getting a lot of views, I think, on my YouTube channel. So check it out if you can. That'd be awesome. All right, have a great day, guys. I'm going to go get some paint meds. My ankle's killing me. Casey Sullivan, FSW. Back to that. Sounds good, Missy. Yeah, I always fly southwest. You said southwest. And I so look forward to them having assigned seating next year. I get so tired of messing with that seating. I always wind up getting the business class, so I don't. So I have to minimalize it. But still, it's a pain. Thanks, Missy. Thanks for being there. And let me see if Mel is back. Mel, we heard you say somebody came in black and blue. And then you just dropped off. So are you there? Come on back. Yeah, I don't know what happened. I looked at my phone. And I didn't hear you guys. I had to reconnect. Yeah, Linda, back in the day, baby setting was $0.50 an hour. And now, child care is expensive, I guess. I'm glad I don't have to go through that again. Anyway, this little girl about, oh, I don't know, five years old or so. She came to the house, got babysit by Linda Lou. And she's all black and blue. And she claimed that she fell at the AW restaurant down in Beaverton. I said to Linda, sir, if she comes back down again, call the cops. So a week or two later, she came. She was all black and blue, black and blue. And I called the cops. They came out, took pictures, whatever, and ended up taking that girl away from them. And I think she went to live with her aunt over on the coast. So I don't know what happened to her. But just one of those things that happens. They deny that I hate saying it about the service. I hate it when it's maybe a Vietnam person. And I don't know. He had a bad attitude. I don't know why he beat the child. But anyway, he did. He probably admitted it. And they took her away. So that's my two cents. KV-7, KV-W, bye. Good night. Yeah, well, black and blue is a little too much. But boy, I mean, things that our schoolteachers did, and let alone our parents did back in the day when I was a kid. Yeah, it's a crime now. But you know what? Look how we turned out compared to kids today. So there you go. Hey, I want to thank everybody who's joined us today on the worldwide friendship net. If you missed out today, tune in again tomorrow.

And there's two dollar bills floating, which are two mini solar panels. And the processor, well, it's all explained, all explained on my QRZ page. It's a microprocessor, and it even does, it even does geofencing, so when it gets to three countries that are not supposed to transmit, it actually turns off the transmitter till it processes the UK, and then it starts to transmit when it gets into Russia, over.

And here it is August now, and our temperature's surely not any warmer. So I don't know what's causing it all. I'll pass you over to a meal. I got to run outside for a second meal. I'll be back here in a few minutes time.

Fantastic, actually. Review on UKZ. Thank you, Sir Darryl. Appreciate it. All right, very good. Yeah, there was too much bass in the signal yesterday, so I basically changed the settings on my preamp. So it's crappy for like singing or radio announcing, but perfect for Echo Link. So it gets rid of all the highs and lows. So we're perfect for this kind of communication. I hope you're well, brother. Oh yeah, QSO. Doing good, man. And no, your audio sounds perfectly fine. It's not like you really need much for Echo Link. These days, though, they improved the audio codec in the last couple of years. So as long as you're on a recent version, it can handle anything from a pinhole mic on a phone all the way up to a professional studio microphone. So it tends to do a decent job no matter what it's playing with. So you really can't go wrong there. Yeah, man, I hope you're doing really good.

It's nine o'clock. It's time for the nine o'clock net for Monday, August 4, 2025. I'm Jack KI7RMU. I'll be your host for this morning. This is a directed social net that happens on the WW7 PSR 2 meter repeater, which is operated by the Puget Sound Repeater Group. If you'd like to join us, come ahead now with your call sign and name, please. G7FWB. All right, Bill, I've got you. Who's next, please? KIVA Delta 7, Papa Whiskey Bravo. Napa In-N-Out. All right, we have two days in a row. We have the pirate Dave. That's high desert pirate, Brianville. And I've got the AG7. Nope, nope, sorry. Sorry, Dave. AG6EG with an I. Oh, thank you, Dave. Appreciate that down there in California. More stations, please. KJ7VEU, Mike. All right, Mike, I've got you. Thank you so much. Anybody else? Kilo Zero Echo Charlie Kilo Zero Echo Charlie Kilo, Gail. Well, good morning, Gail. Stand by. We'll get you in shortly. Let's go back to the top and talk to Bill, KJ7FWSB. How's your Monday, Bill? Oh, hi, Jack. Yeah, Mondays are always a little slow, huh? Anyway, an hour out to Pirate Dave there. And morning to you. Just got back from washing my car, a bare car wash. And we got a meeting here, some kind of a... Mostly about bylaws and stuff like that, so. And yesterday we played about 20 games. Guess who won? About 12 of those. Big scores, too. Yes. So I did really good. Everybody else thought I did good, too. So that's about all I have. KJ7FWB. Now, there is no money bet on these games, Marjan. Is there? So are you like a rich man this morning? Well, I'm rich in plastic chips only. Back to you. Alright, well I guess it all depends on what you can trade those in for. And it sounds like probably not much, except for the glory of the win. I think that's probably enough for you there, Bill. Alright, well be nice to you, my friend. You have a great morning. Enjoy the rest of the day. And we'll talk soon. KJ7FWB. Let's go down to Primeville and pick it up in Oregon with Dave, the high desert pirate. Good morning, sir. Well, good morning, Jack and everybody on the net. Well, it's kind of a little bit of clouds this morning, but not too bad. And they're supposed to be dissipating away. Yesterday we did get another really nice thunderstorm yesterday evening. And we got a little rain overnight, so that was kind of neat. And yeah, things are not quite so hot. We haven't even gotten up to 60 degrees yet today. So definitely a little cool down in the weather for the next couple of days. And then nice and getting warmer again for the weekend. So that works for us. And let's see, other than that, not a lot going on down here. Got a little shopping to do on the usual Monday morning shores. So I think with that I'll turn it back to the net and say 73 is to all. And have a great week. Thanks for taking that this morning, Jack. KJ7FWB, Dave, the high desert pirate radio. Alright, Dave. Yeah, I like that cooler temperature weather for sure. We're really even now. Looks like Monday to Friday, 71 is going to be our low high. And our high high is going to be...high high. Oh boy, I really fell into that one, didn't I? 74 degrees. So boy, I tell you. And then Wednesday I heard we might have as much as an inch of rain. So boy, I tell you the summer garden is going to really love that. Hey, did you hear the KI7UEF flew up to Seattle for the last day of Sea Bear yesterday? Did you hear that yesterday by chance on the net? We had him in a couple of times. I checked in aeronautical mobile and I don't know what happened once he got here. I know Chris, KK7HD, and I think maybe Dean, KJ7WDB, and somebody else had a chance to meet up with him and hang out. So that was good. But did you hear that he made an update? Hey Jack, yes I did. I monitored a lot of that. And I believe he ended up landing in Auburn because they had some kind of a mix up at the Boeing field there so he couldn't get into Boeing. And I think Rebecca was going to meet up with him too. And I'm not sure if she did or not. But at any rate, yeah, I copied most of that. I talked to him up in the air a couple of times. And then also picked up on some other chit chat about him. So at any rate, it sounds like he had kind of an interesting flight up there. Hopefully he'll get back okay. At any rate, I decided to say 73s. And thanks for checking because he was very much aware that he had hit flown up. So back to you Jack, 87PWGB. Quick comment? I think we had Bill with a comment there. Just cut him off. Sorry Dave, or sorry Bill. Hey Dave, thank you so much. Well it's always good to know that if somebody's going to make a big trip last minute, well not really last minute but kind of, to the Seattle area to hang out. And I'm sure you know that we've got a contingency that can get down there and hang out with him and have some fun. So that turned out really good. Alright well hopefully Matt will have a chance to check in this morning. Alright Dave, thanks again. I think we had a comment on why KG7FWB. Let's go to Bill. Was that you Bill? Yes sir, that was. Talking about the weather, guess what? Sunday, August 10th. Forecast 81 degrees. KG7FWB. Alright well that sounds good to me. You might have to eat your ice cream quick or grab another napkin. But you know that sounds fine. And believe it or not if you remember the space by the pickleball court it's an ideal spot. Because around, I don't know, it must be maybe right around noon, that whole area becomes shady. So 81 in shade will be excellent. I cannot wait. Alright well thank you Bill, appreciate that. Alright Dave, if you have a great day, size 10 of course. Dave from California, ACC, AGC, oh god I can never get it right. AC6EG, there we go, Coast Guard checked in with an I.O. Let's go to Mike. Mike, good morning. KJ7VU. Hi Jack, I'll pause you in a second here. You haven't been on that long and I know I won't be here soon. Somebody's trying to get me to time out early. That's okay, I can play games too. Mine are a little more serious than that usually though. I'm from Detroit, you don't want to mess with people from Detroit. We have Italian friends in Detroit, I know a lot of Italian people in Detroit but that's beside the point. James Donaldson was a Seattle supersonic, was at the church yesterday after the 815 service up here in the Village. That was really interesting, he wrote a book, he's going around talking about mental illness and stuff, he's had his issues. As most of us have, if we're thinking about politics, yeah we have mental issues. It's just depression, it's normal for an American thing. That's okay, I've gotten used to it. I've been living in America all my life and I'm still trying to get used to it. I do love America as much as possible, most of the time. Still, I'm doing my laundry, I'm going to pull it out of the dryer, I just throw it in and throw it around the house. I'll let it dry that way, save a little energy. Don't need to heat the place anymore, that's for sure. It is 60 degrees outside. I'm going to go to the Senior Center, have some coffee and socialize. I could use a little mixed food. JJ, some of you, thanks for the check in Jack, and see you around. Alright, hey Mike, so yeah, James Thompson, wow, he was in the NBA a long time. Is he still 7 feet tall? I mean I know your spine will compress after a while, you do get a little bit shorter throughout the later stages of your life, not that he's in his later stages. In fact, I don't even remember how old he is right now, but he must be still 7 feet, huh? Yeah, that's the one question, he's just answering it, but yeah, he looks like he's about 6'11\", still, you know. He's, oh let's see, he was, I think he's, I forget, but I hooked him up and he actually played for an Italian team after he graduated Wazoo and it was a basketball scholarship, one worked over in Italy for a team, and any team he got recruited by the Seahawks. Obviously, he talks about super sonics, after they won in 78 and 9, they won a championship and they said, this guy's good for us, and he worked for Lenny Wilkins and stuff back then. Yeah, that was really interesting to hear him talk about strategy, he was talking about some new, they were talking about expansion and stuff, and he said, he said, he should do some Division 2 stuff, and they do better in recruiting, and yeah, he's all into that, seriously, in management and everything, and yeah, he's a hard worker, and yeah, he's doing okay, he's successful, and yeah, he meets those friends up here in the village, I guess. And Saturday, he said, that's cool, yeah, he's a local, apparently. So, yeah, good seeing him, and he's probably up here part of Seafair or something too, there was hundreds of people up here on the weekend, Sunday was a lot more mellow. Thank you, Jack, thanks, TJ7. Alright, well thank you so much, Mike, yeah, I was up in the village there for Magnolia Fest on Saturday, I didn't see you around, I did find the local emergency hub folks, so that was really fun, hung out with them for a little bit, talked to them, saw some other people that I knew, and had a generally great time, then I got a burrito down by the gas station at the food truck there, and man, those things like the size of a burrito. Oh, so good, it was two meals. Anyway, alright, well you have a great day, Mike, thank you so much, and James Johnson gives back to his community in many ways, we appreciate that. Alright, well let's go down to Texas, Kyle, Texas at first, it's 12 minutes past top of the hour, 9, 12 AM, I'm Jack, KI7, RMU, let's go pick it up with Gail, K0, ECK, hi Gail. Hello everybody, Jack and everybody, just wanted to say hi to everybody, Mike, I had some rain today, I don't know, you can hear my third party traffic over here is active, which I won't complain about because that means he's moving around and not, you know, just laying in one spot, as long as he's talking, eating, and drinking, I'm just going to be a little bit more careful. I'm happy. Everybody have a great day, KI7, ECK. Oh, that is hilarious, what is your cat's name? Okay, maybe I'm, well, his name is actually Naoki, and we've been eating and animating stuff, but we call him Pit Cat, like the candy bar, and he's 26 years old, and you know, he's still enjoying life in the center of our world, and he's still having trouble grooming himself, so we've been having to cut off bunches of his fur to get him out of, but you know, what can you say, he has whatever privileges he gets. Anyway, that's the story, KI7, ECK, back to you, Jack. Uh, okay, wow, a 26 year old in human years is equivalent to a 124 year old cat. Wow, that is amazing. Okay, that's an old cat, right? Take care of Kit Cat there. Alright, thank you, KI, let's get some more stations for the 9 o'clock Met. I'm Jack, KI7, RMU, if you'd like to join us, come ahead, call a sign of me. This is John KI9, Julia Decobrado, fighting the angry bees on cloudy Kamino Island. Good morning, Jack. Hey, good morning, John, thank you very much for your eye, I appreciate that. I bet it's going to clear up a little bit later, and I think you might see some rain with the rest of us on Wednesday. You're probably looking forward to that. I think I am too, and so is my garden. Alright, John, thank you so much, more stations please, for the 9 o'clock Met.

Hey, I heard you're on the Kabara Net this morning there, Jim. How are you doing now? Well, good morning there, Jack. Well, we didn't get to ski. Actually, I took Allison... Or Allison. I took Sarah's ski. She has to go back to work tomorrow. She's an assistant principal in the Spokane School. Tomorrow's her first day back to work. There was a little bit of water at the top of what we call the Narrows. So I gave her a yank up there. She skied about three passes in a relatively short amount of... Not much water. So at least she can go back to school tomorrow with a smile on her face that she had a water ski this morning. So the rest of it, it's still... It's the Roman Whitecaps here, the main part of the lake. So the ski-able part was really small. So anyway, yeah, that's about all we got going. We had a whole bunch of stuff on the list, the stuff to do today that I still haven't gotten that appointment with ADT about the smoke alarms. But we got a little 3x5 car, 3x5 fire car here with stuff to do on it today. Just to get a bunch of little stuff done. Anyway, it was interesting hearing about Matt. I didn't know that Matt ended up landing in Auburn. Which is not too far, but if you're there in Auburn and you don't have transportation, I don't think they have rental cars at the airport in Auburn. At least they didn't when I flew out of Auburn. I don't know. That'll be fun to get the rest of that story. That's about all we got going on here, Jack. I hope I didn't time it out because I didn't let it drop, I don't think, before I started talking. So back to you. This is Jim and Jane at Gear Lake K7. PDZ. Alright Jim, I must have misheard this story because I heard that when Matt was coming in towards Bowie Field, they scrambled eight Super Hornets out of there. So I thought maybe the two were connected, but turned out it was the Blue Angels. So maybe that's why he had to detour. I don't know, but we'll find out a little bit later. Hey, but real quick, so Sarah, what does she say about the coming year for the Spokane School District? I know she's an assistant principal and you were an educator at one time for many years, teaching mathematics to the kids. But real quick, what does she say about the coming year, you know, budgets and just the general nature of the year coming up? She's thinking pretty good things. Jack, we did not talk shop. That's the last thing he wanted to talk about. We only talked about Looting at the Lake and water skiing. They're relatively new and they've only been in the lake for six years. And so, no, we never talk shop at all, so I have no clue. I have no clue, man. K7, PDZ. Oh, that's funny. Can I ask you one real quick question there, Jim? When did you retire officially? I don't remember. Jack, I retired in, what had been the 67, 60, no, 66, 67, 1960, or 1960. That's when I started at Auburn in 1967. So 30 years later is 1997. Then I taught one year at Ohio, so I had 31 years in education and one year at Boeing, 32 years. K7, PDZ. Oh, well, thank you for your service. That is a great job. I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad you're here. I'm so glad you're here. Oh, well, thank you for your service. That is a great job. I just admire teachers so much. Having lived through Jacob's education, my education, oh, just amazing. All right, thank you, Jim. Yeah, I wouldn't talk shop either. I was just kind of curious if she did. All right, you have a great day. Say hi to Jane. Let's go to West Seattle. Pick it up with Rich, K30E. Rich, I see you're back at your old tricks. Making the crazy antennas last night was hilarious. How are you, sir? Good morning, Jack. Wow, doing pretty good over here. Yeah, and the cantenna is working very, very well. I can't really complain at all. Performance-wise, it's doing great. I had never really checked the SWRM. I don't know how I missed that, but anyway, I did an update and posted that, and I was so surprised. SWRM is not fantastic on 2-meter, but acceptable. I mean, it's usable. It doesn't seem to impact performance very much. But what really surprised me was, just out of curiosity, I said, let me check a couple of other bands. That was better on 220 than it was on 2-meter, so I've got a 220 antenna that's usable. How about that? So, anyway, and you ask about materials, pretty much zero. Everything came out of the recycle bin and a few screws and a little solder, and you throw something together and it works. Anyway, it was a fun project, and yeah, it just shows. If it will conduct electricity, you can probably make an antenna out of it. Back to you, K-308. Alright, well, and to that end, Rich, I have a list of some of the crazy antennas you've built in the past, and they are hilarious. I don't know how you get electricity through a sock, but there was one called the Sock Tenon, Heater Tenon, Tray Tenon, Clamp Tenon, Can Tenon, Drill Towel, Rack Tenon, Saw Grilled antenna. Let's see, we've got a couple other really good ones too. Wrench and Fire Poker antenna, Pressure Cooker antenna. I mean, there are a lot of them on this list, and there are pictures available for all these. Oh, Leisure and Work antenna, I don't know if you remember that one. Lord of the Rings expansion antenna. Geez. Oh, boy, great to have you back in town, Rich. I cannot wait to see the next one. So, fantastic, and thanks for the SWR report on that one. Alright, K-308, that's Rich in West Seattle.

Well, I rode down there on Wednesday with a few fellas and then we went to the conference, which was a really lovely conference. They really take care of you. And it was a four-day conference and even on Sunday, which unfortunately I did not attend yesterday's sessions. But, you know, they're thinking about you and they know that you're probably checking out of a hotel. So you can go to the conference with all your luggage and they have a baggage check just to make sure that you had a place to safely put your stuff while you were at, you know, the last day of the conference, which is really nice.

Alright, well you have a great week ahead there, Tariq. Great to hear you, and thank you very much for the update on the conference. Very cool, very cool. And I hope you are inspired. Well, let's go out and talk to Skipper. Skipper, now that all that downed wood and so forth on the neighbor's property is all done, what's that keep doing with yourself now? KJ7, or sorry, KJ7. KM7AJM. Skipper, good morning to you. Good morning, Jack and everybody on the net. Well, we got the neighbors done, so now we're working on the big log pile we took from them. And ours, but we took Saturday off and drove out 530 and 20 out to Marble Mountain to visit our daughter who's working at a coffee stand out there while she waits for her next quarter of classes. She's going to school to be a pharmacy technician. So we had a nice Saturday, a nice drive out there, and yesterday we hit the log pile again, started cutting up logs and stacking rounds, and today we'll probably be out there splitting. Other than that, just enjoying this cooler weather, looking forward to having the nice weather this week and being able to get some work done. Hope everybody has a good week. KM7, KJM, back to you, Jack. Alright, never a dull moment around the back 40 apparently. That's great, well it's great to keep busy, that's for sure. Hey, on the log splitter, so do you have a solar log splitter, gas powered? Is it a gravity device? Just by what means are the logs split when you're doing the round? We've got a 37-ton log splitter with a four-way head, so it splits them up in a hurry. KM7, KJM, back to net. You have the greatest tools and devices out there, that is amazing, I've never even heard of that. Oh my goodness, where does one get something like that? Can you get one at Fred Meyer? No, we ordered it from Northern Tool, they shipped it up in pieces, but their shipping department wasn't very good. Their pallets came apart, luckily the shipping company picked up all the pieces, put it in three pallets, and I assembled it when I got here, but it's a fantastic splitter. Back to you, Jack. Oh, that is amazing, oh man, I bet those rounds they don't even have a chance, not even a chance. How would it do? Okay, one last crazy question, but you know, I do want to know these things because I think of them, right? So, hey, you got the person who knows or could answer the question on the line, why not ask them? So if you had something like, okay, Cherrywood, I know that's really Dancer Teague, things like that, I mean, again, no prob, right, 37 tons? Well Cherrywood, I use in the smoker, it's great in teak wood, it's good to make furniture and things like that out of, I wouldn't put either one in the wood stove. Back to you, Jack. Alright, well that's a good use of materials right there. Alright, yeah, that's great. Hey, thank you so much, you have a great day, have a great weekend, good to hear you on the morning net.

I can tell the squirrels, there's still peanuts on the ground there, so it's like they haven't got them all. Yeah, so squirrels have been by, I can tell, but they haven't been by in force.

And you're on the new net, which is being hosted today by, you know who, Rebecca, KK79JZ. Ben is next. Hold on there. And, Jeff, I can say good morning to you. Let's go talk to Ben, AJ7EV. And, Ben, you know, I did not realize you took all three tests for your licenses at the same time. That is, tell me about that experience. I saw somebody in person do that once and I was like, what? He did all three? No way. So, tell me about that, but good morning to you. How are you? How's Ren? How's the family? Hey, good morning, Jack. Things are good. Let's see, the story about my licenses. So, I have been thinking about getting a license for a couple of years and finally got around to it this May when I got an email from the Seattle Emergency Hub saying there's going to be a class through the West Seattle Amateur Radio Club. So, I went and watched all the lectures online and for the first class, the technician, and I enjoyed that so much I went ahead and watched all the general and enjoyed that and said, well, I might as well study up for the extra and that way I won't have to remember which frequencies I can't transmit on, well, within the ham band. So, I just practiced on what's that called? Hamstudy.org and was able to do all three in one sitting. Let's see, and then my report for today, I've been really having fun on some HF, trying out some new things on my G90, so a little 20 watt radio. Last night I tried Whisper for the first time, so that's sort of a really low signal, weak signal mode and you send out a little bit of information with your call sign and stations around the world are listening and will upload to the internet if they hear you. So, I was able to, it really blew my mind. Before yesterday my longest contact over single sideband was just like Colorado or Alaska, but last night I was able to get picked up in Antarctica and Chile and New Zealand and Mozambique, so really far from the sights of the world. So, that really blew my mind. That's all for me, 887EZ. Hey, on that Whisper beacon network, I think the program will automatically log all the things like FT8, all the contacts you make. Where was the station in Antarctica? Was that at McMurdo Sound there? I need to go peek again at it. It was right before I went to sleep, so I wasn't looking at all the details, but I'll let you know. Bye for now, 887EZ. Oh, that would be great to know. Yeah, if you get a chance, I'd be kind of curious to find out who's down there now on the Amban. There's always somebody there, of course, but I'm just kind of curious who that was. If you get a minute, no big deal, so you don't have time, but nice to hear from you, Ben. Thank you so much, 887EZ. Three tickets in one go. Oh, I'm so jealous. But when I saw that guy do that, I just wanted to go over and say, that's amazing. Who are you? I was just lucky to get my tech license and get out of there on time. Anyway, good to hear you, Ben. Have fun today and enjoy the week ahead. Let's go talk to W-87AFB and Rich. How are you back there in Minnesota? Go ahead. Good morning.

I went through the other day and I've been geotagging a bunch of my photos from my trip. I went to Iceland a couple weeks ago. So much fun, beautiful place and I was able to, I had a Canon camera with me, a nice mirrorless camera and it doesn't have a GPS tagging but what I was able to do is go through and pull the GPS data from my phone and photos there and just apply that across turns out there's a lot of great open source tools that have already been written to do that. So I've got them mapped out and I'm working on building out a nice little map with the photos and the highlights of it. So that's been fun that was consuming a lot of my time this weekend and then today just back to the grind at work. So still getting it back in the flow of it but that's what I've got going on. Thanks again for running the net and I'll go ahead and pass it back to you. This is Nick AK-7 LSP. Oh I'm so glad you found something to paint that tagging a little bit easier that's great and you didn't have to write it. Hey real quick so Nick do you have a Canon M3 that's the one I have I love that camera which one do you have? I have the R8 it's one of the mirrorless ones it's really nice it does great in low light it's super lightweight it's like the it's the cheaper version of the R6 and so I think it doesn't have the the in-body stabilization and it doesn't have the dual SIM card slots but I know a lot of professional views for me it's just a hobby so I don't need the extra sensitive backup plan. They have a Canon R8 and I have been loving it since I got it. AK-7 LSP, X and X. All right fantastic I love my M3 and the greatest thing about that is I can hook it up to my meat terrestrial scope and that is just incredible oh man I love it anyway all right well nice to have you back I know you had a great time at Lifeline that'd be fun to see some of those pictures if you want to drop a couple on us over at the PSRG Facebook discussion group page if you can share a couple that'd be really fun because I know they have some very interesting ice caves which I know you were in one of the one of the better known ones here all right Nick you take care good to hear and have a great week ahead all right anybody else for the nine o'clock net come in call sign a name."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T10:10:39+00:00","id":14057,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14056,"text":" PBR, Gary.

Kilo is either seven, Papa Bravo, Romeo, or as a lot of people like to call it, Papi Blue Ribbon. Sitting down here in Chandler, Arizona, my dining room table. Just relax and lurk on this net a lot. Don't check in very often, but just thought it was a good time to check in. Just got back from a week and a half of being on the road. We were up in Zion, Utah. And I decided to do a full activation while I was in Zion. If you're familiar with Zion, it's at the bottom of a canyon. And so I did in a day and a half of activating, I managed to get three contacts. But I was just running a little camp too with a vertical portable antenna. It was fun, great weather. Had a good time. And then went down to Southern California to go see the grandbaby and the family. And had a good time. I tried the weather was good there as well. Spent a lot of time enjoying my family on the back patio in mid 80s, great temperature. And then when you're coming from Chandler, where it's 110, that makes for a pretty nice afternoon. Anyway, you all have a good day. This is Kilo India 7. Pop pop pop, Romeo. All right, Gary Brough, what a nice road trip that was. Well, yeah, I think at the bottom of a canyon, it could have been a little difficult. But hey, three contacts is three contacts, right? Hey, real quick, do you know Mike N58QM, also of Chandler, Arizona? Do you know N58QM by chance? Yeah, he's an annoying little guy. Yeah, we're very good friends. He was one of my very first radio contacts when I left in stuff eight or nine years ago. And we get together quite often. We go with a group that would call me. Every Friday, we have our hamster barks. It's the group that I started back during COVID, because it was something we could do and get out, get away. We'd go set up our portables in the park. And he's a big supporter of that. And we go out at least once a month between October and April every year. And in between, we just get together and lunch. But yeah, I talk to him quite a bit. He's a very good friend of mine. We're real good at spending each other's money on new radios. All right, yeah, I thought that you had mentioned recently, well, whenever that was, whenever, I don't know, maybe he mentioned you. I can't remember exactly how I knew that. But I thought I did. Well, there we go, the Romeo lunches, the events out in the park. That is great. Yeah, he's a good guy. And he has got a stack of radios about three miles high. That's great. All right, hey, Gary, you got to check in more often. Great to hear from you, my friend. All right, well, you have a great Monday, Scorchville. Of course, that's what Mike called it on the net last night. He checked in and said, yeah, we're back to Scorchville, 110, 115. Oh, boy. Anyway, all right, will you take care? Have a great week. All right, WQ7H, James checked in today with an I. No, sound good there, James. Have a good day. KK7ZPJ Magoo in Covington is up next. How you doing? Hey, Jack. Have a new radio here. It's a little balfunked. Or not balfunked, but balfang. Balfunked is defunct, I think. And I think it's getting the job done. Just has to get to my all-star network. I think as I last left it, the 3D printing bug had hit me hard. We bought a used unit for 120 and then went ahead and got the Anycubic Cobra S1. And as it turned out, that unit had some issues. And we returned it. And now we're expecting the Cadillac, which is the bamboo, 9 whatever it is, 9 series. And so plans are to get that sometime this week and unbox it and get it all rolling. In the meantime, we're making all sorts of accessories for it using the original one. Been just so much fun watching this stuff just come to life. And then today, last week I did some spraying of a fence. And I got a little bit of overspray on the siding of the house. And I need to go back with some goo to get the latex stain off of it. So it's kind of a yucky job. But somebody's got to do it because I can't leave the overspray on the siding. That's really all I've got going between work and 3D printer play. That's all that's making Mike an exciting boy. Back to you, Jack. Magoo, Kilo Kilo 7, Zulu Papa Juliet. All right, Magoo. Yeah, that overspray business, that's no good. Yeah, I knew a guy one time, a painting contractor, that oversprayed a whole parking lot of cars. Yeah, he told the guys that it would be OK. The wind's not going to come up. The wind came up pretty good while they were spraying. And oh, boy, did he ever have some hot, hot people in the parking lot there. Anyway, hey, real quick, so yeah, you're probably getting some really interesting downloads off GitHub and Thingiverse. Now, what about this new bamboo printer? I think the other day you said the great thing about this, other than being a Cadillac of printers, is that it will do four colors. Is that right? The one module that we're getting with it, in sort of a combo, it does the four. But you can actually stack three more of those units. So it could do up to 16 colors. The thing is, when you do multicolor printing on these things, there's a lot of filament waste because the filament has to retract. It's kind of crazy, though, because you can instruct it to take that filament waste that happens when it's retracting and instruct it to build something out of the filament waste. And so instead of just going into a garbage can, it actually puts the design down on the sheet. And you end up with a little bit of something from all that leftover retraction. But in some cases, you can spend more filament on color changes than you actually do putting it on the product itself. So it's definitely a filament waste strip, but it can really look beautiful. Oh, that's fantastic. All right, well, hey, that's another good way to promote 3D printing, too, I guess, and something really cool. I said, and just tell them, look, this is from waste filament. Oh, that's really cool. That's 16 filament. Yikes. Man, that will get spendy, I bet. Anyway, well, I'm glad you're going to have some fun with that and I'm glad you got the other one sent back. All right, you take care. I'm going to go have a good week. Let's see if there's anybody else for the 9 o'clock net. I'm Jack, KI7, RMU, five minutes past top of the hour, 10.05 AM here in Seattle.

I got a few little projects around the house and then I just realized I got to start packing to leave for Bigfoot Friday morning and I'm going to miss your ice cream net. Oh, boy, and I love ice cream. I'll be up roughing in the woods, you know. No facilities where we're going, so... You know, water, toilet, and everything. So, it's... And lots of, you know, radio gear. People talk about their go-back radio gear. I figure radio gear is only about 20 to 25% of what I have to take up there to survive. So, oh, well. It's fun. I last, hopefully, then we come home exhausted. So, anyway. So, we'll be coming, leaving Friday morning and coming back Tuesday morning. So, anyway. Hey, Jack, thanks for running the net. You do a great job all the time. Everybody have a safe day. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. All right, Michael. Well, we'll miss you, that's for sure. But, you know, we'll have some pictures up on the internet, of course. On the Facebook discussion group page. I can send you some off to the side of the side road if you like. That's not a problem. But real quick, how many runners are going to be in the Bigfoot 200 this year? Have you heard yet? And, you know, you might, you know, for nighttime activities, you might take one of those little battery-operated karaoke machines over you, Michael. Oh, Jack, laughing here, but you don't want to hear me sing. So, that's just the way it goes. Oh, and I'll tell you a little story where he's not listening. He can sing in Japanese because he knows Japanese. He surprised all the people when he worked over there for four years. So, anyway. Um, I don't know which other question it was. Uh, anyway. Well, I'm just texting you. Um, let's see. Um, I can't remember your second or your first question, so come back and tell me. Oh, I was just asking if you know how many runners are in the Bigfoot 200 this year. No, I don't, Jack. I can go online and figure out if they max out, though, every year and leave it out. Those people pay faster here was like $1,500 a year. Um, or maybe it was more. Probably more this year with inflation. But, uh, it's amazing. You know, there are all sorts of these self-supported. And the first groups that come through, you've got bakers and people there with food and everything. And, you know, the strikers near the end are, you know, they're socially self-supported. They don't have anybody to pick them up. And people have to haul them places. And, um, anyway, it's. But it's maxed out every year. And there's a waiting list. In fact, all of them. You know, they have actually four races now. They have, um, the Tahoe 200, the Moab, the B-8. And, um, the Ford, I think. If I remember correctly, the Arizona 300. Um, probably in the middle of winter because it's warm down in Arizona. So, um. Anyway, and it's amazing. People like to do all four in a year. I don't know, Jack. Maybe I was 22 still. But we'll be up there with our microphones and our antennas. Probably a long wire. And a vertical, my vertical eagle one on the back of my pickup truck. And, uh, I'm gonna use my elk. And I'm gonna put my J-bolt on and probably another, um, um, 2 meter rig. So, um. Uh, so we'll have radios galore and pop-up tents and all kinds of stuff. So, anyway, Jack. Thanks for asking. Have a great day. Thanks again for doing these great nets. We'll see you in the next one. Alright, Michael. Michael, good luck to you and everybody volunteering for that amazing event, Bigfoot 200. Alright, well, hey, thanks for checking in today. Good to hear you. And somebody is really trying to get a hold of you. It's probably Larry going, Hey, I think Jack's idea about the karaoke machine is a good one. So, think about that. Or he's probably gonna chastise you for revealing the fact that he can sing in Japanese. Anyway, Larry, I hope you're doing well too. Nice to hear you there, Michael. Alright, let's see if there's anybody else for the 9 o'clock net. 10, 12 a.m. Call, sign a name if so, come ahead. K9BC, Brooks, mobile. Let's get Brooks in here. Right now, K9BC, he of the trips to Leavenworth with the family and friends and stuff. How are you, Brooks? Go ahead. Good morning, Jack and everyone on the net. K9BC, Brooks here, mobile 405 South, just about to get on 167 South here. On this overcast Monday, you know what though? It's okay, because it's nice to have a little bit cooler temperatures for a little bit. As long as those take around too long. But Leavenworth was great. It was really warm. We had a good time over there, nice and relaxing. Able to get out and take the dogs for a swim in the river. Got a nice late evening walk and saw some really cool views out there. And the moon was out during the day, Megan got a picture of that. With the moon out and the big mountain in the background and the lake in the foreground, I don't know, it looked really cool. But anyway, back to work today. Got a busy week ahead of us. A lot of stuff going on this week and this weekend of course with the rain or shine coming. Let's see, I'm going to a Seahawks preseason game this week on Thursday, so that should be a lot of fun. And trying to get the office all ready to be painted and have the popcorn ceiling removed. Just got a lot going on. With that, I'll say thanks for doing the Natsack 7-3, everyone. K9, BDC. Alright, yeah, I totally forgot about the Seahawks preseason game. Who are they playing? These are playing the Raiders, which should be pretty cool because you know who's coaching the Raiders now. Oh, and you know who's their quarterback now. Alright, spoiler alert, Pete Carroll and Geno Smith. K9, BDC. Oh, can you say grudge match? Let's go see if Brooks can say grudge match. Grudge match? Lunch? K9, BDC. Of course you can say it. Hey, thank you so much Brooks. You enjoy that game. I tell you, we do have a lot of things going on this week. The rain or shine Natsack.

Good afternoon, Rebecca, and everyone out there on the net. 33 is back to you, Rebecca. I am back home here. It's been a busy morning. We are home and back at it, Rebecca. Brooks' office is going to get redone. So it's the last day of the paint sale. So I ran after I did some tutoring this morning to the paint store to get a couple samples. And then I did a couple other little things in the middle of my name change. And now I'm just kind of running around. I need to go put the samples on the wall, because like I said, it's the last day of the sale. So I need to figure out which gray I am painting. Because I want all of our bedrooms to be the same gray. They're so close to each other that I was like, ugh, doing different grays, I think, would be too much. So that's what I'm up to running around all over the place. But I'm having a great day. Thank you for doing that. 73-1-9, MLR. Megan, that sounds so sad. All of your bedrooms are the same gray. Gray is gray. But I get it. People love gray as a neutral. I don't buy it. Gray is not a neutral. But Megan, congratulations on the name change. What are you changing your name to? Like Nancy, Carrie, Susie, Jennifer. Back to you, Megan. I got a good chuckle out of that, Rebecca. No, I will be going from Megan Ralph to Megan Courtright. Now they're Brooks and I got married. So that's the big name change. Nothing too exciting. So I'll still be Megan. And I'll still be K9 MLR. Just my last name won't be Ralph anymore. Thanks for the question, Rebecca. K9 MLR. I had a feeling that was the name you were changing. But you never know. You never know. 33-Megan, good luck picking out the gray. I want my bedroom to be gray. Megan, all of you gray people. Gray is gray, Megan. Anyway, moving right along.

So I and a friend of mine are going to go show everybody here in a little while. So anyway, we're going over here to IHOP and have a little birthday dinner for me. And we'll see what happens the rest of the evening. So anyway, back over there to you, Rebecca. This is KJ-5, California River. Well, happy birthday, Will. I mean, you could do a restaurant round up because you can just get birthday desserts or dinners from all of the chains and give birthday stuff. That sounds like fun. A whole bunch of birthday songs and a whole bunch of birthday chocolate lava cakes. But anyway, happy birthday, Will. Thanks for sharing that with us. And have a wonderful, wonderful Monday and a fun birthday dinner at IHOP. All right, more stations. Call sign and name, RF and internet.

We have Hawkins. Hawkins is a very large red-tailed hawk. His name, I don't know which one it was. They're now resident on or very near the property. So, they are hunting in the front yard. So, Hawkins came and sat down on the lawn in front of my window here. It's a large yard. It's about a four-foot wingspan on this guy. He was looking for lunch. He ended up flying away empty handed this time, but we'll see. I got some moles that he can have all he wants on both of those. We'll see. Anyway, standard Monday. Working a job and I got to get back to you here pretty quick. I can tell you here, the voices coming through over the static, it just cleared a little bit once the KJ5 station started talking.

Yeah, tell Hawkins to keep on diving. Keep on diving. Keeping that mole and vole population in check. Keeping his tummy full. That sounds great.

Okay, Ron, well then I'll take more stations. I think that was a triple. So who was that behind Jonathan and Mike? That would be me. Me, WQ7H, this is James. Hi, James. Got you on the list. More stations, please. Alright, come on, Jonathan. W zero, X zero. What's going on? Hey, how are you, Rebecca? I'm using UV17R, Bao Feng. And last couple days in the old place cleaning things up, spackling holes in the walls. And I've been driving back and forth from Everett to Seattle. And just really had a great weekend. A lot of good stuff happened over the weekend. It was all the stuff that involved sweating and working. And I love hard work because there's always an easy success. You know when you've done it. And I don't know the difference between a vole and a mole, to be honest with you. I wish I did. I used to live with these ornithologists when I lived down in Olympia and they were horticulturists as well. But their ornithology involved them putting mole and vole carcasses in the freezer. And they would stretch them over a toilet paper roll sometimes. And it was part of their study. So, um, moles and voles, big topic. Anyway, back to you, Rebecca. Great to hear your voice. 73W0XO in Maple Leaf. Well, cool. The final days at the Maple Leaf house. Now you are a resident of Everett. Well, that's great, Jonathan. Thank you so much for checking in. And I'm glad that the move went well. Hello. And, uh, yeah, it's good to hear from you, Jonathan. Have a great day. And 73. Next on the list is Mike, KB8BMY. Hey, Mike, how's the road treating you? Hey, Rebecca. Good to hear you and good to hear you running from that. And right now I'm, uh, I'm pulled over. I'm at the rest stop just south of the water park. I figured I'd stop here and take lunch and then head up to Seattle to say I'm going to Dairy Gold. And it's kind of neat when you go up there, too. They have pictures of cows all over. And they're prompt to tell you that all cows aren't the same. So, they look like happy cows. So, I'm heading up there for another hour after I finish lunch here. And traffic's not too bad so far. I think the sign says it's 35 minutes to Seattle. I think going south is starting to bog up. And we had a real good weekend. It was a lot of fun. In fact, we checked into the new net from TOME. And it was a nice spot on the beach. A good place to operate from. And, um, kind of messed with that. Messed around with APS, APRM, and some other, uh, getting some stuff done on our calls. So, I guess I'm in, I guess this is Federal Way. So, Federal Way 5. It's overcast. 70, my flubbers is 73 degrees, but it's probably cooler. And, uh, so not a bad day. Pretty comfortable. But, anyway, really good to hear you running the net. And, uh, thanks for, uh, picking me up, too, in case I had a short transmission mobile. But we are stationary for now. Three, everyone have a good afternoon. KPA, BMW Mobile. Thank you for your check-in, Mike. Yeah, that's great. Mobile's safe out there. It's, you know, it's overcast. It's so sunny over here. I got it at your house. It's sunny as well. But, um, yeah, I need to go back to TOME State Park. Maybe that's something Leo and I can do this week. Um, yeah, now that the weather's getting a tad cooler. But, yeah, that would be fun. Um, well, 73, Mike, it's good to hear you. Right? Mobile's safe out there. And just in case Courtney's listening, 33, Courtney. Mike's wife is the Snack Queen. She's amazing. Amazing. Anyway, 33, Courtney. All right, next on the list is James.

It's a Yessou ATOS, the one that goes up and down. The radio drives it. It's cool. I like it. It's fun. So that's the project. You know, because like I want to be able to, you know, pack this up and go, go, go, go, go, go. If I go somewhere and I might be there, you know, like, oh, look, there's a picnic table. Let's use that. I'm going to pause. You know, I can't do a lot physically, but still this radio will afford me the opportunity to, you know, Pota. I can do, you know, a park on the air that I can get to. And I've got a battery operated radio so I can do, you know, what is it, five watts, whatever that's called. I got my CW key. You know, there you go. And I got an antenna. I can break it down, deploy. It's a good plan. I think it's a good plan. That's what I'm up to. WQ7H back to Rebecca. Well, James, that sounds like a great plan. I love that plan. And yeah, I feel like we used to do the same thing with the Seattle, I Seattle, with the Sears catalog. We would circle all the things we could dream of getting. But yeah, no, my parents didn't, my parents didn't do GIF. They were very, and we didn't, none of us cared either. They were very, my parents were very practical, were and are very practical. And they never understood. I mean, they humored us letting us do that. But yeah, there was never a, they didn't do GIF. And yeah, well, I think that sounds like a great idea, James. And yeah, you can do a lot with radio. Maybe, yeah, maybe mobility, mobility wise, you're limited, but that's all right. You can do. But 7388, James, have a wonderful day and enjoy planning and planning and planning. Yeah, 73. All right. That was the end of that list. So let's call for announcements. The first announcement is, as you're listening to the PSRG noon net, we do three nets a day, 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. We, if you want to check out everything PSRG, go to PSRG.org. That's PSRG.org. And yeah, check out our website. There's a ton of information. There's a lot of recorded educational meetings, which are really interesting. I know that there is an event coming up with a, let me see, what is that called? Well, anyway, there's an event coming up that is a conference that is about, I'm saying that I'm about to mention, oh, yes, Zero Retries, digital conference on September 13th in Everett. So Zero Retries, there was an educational meeting with what they do, the blog about all things. This is from meter station kilo kilo seven November, November. And New in cam radio. In Shelton, Washington. Yeah, so check out their educational meeting, recorded, and also put September 13th on your calendar. It's going to be a really great event. This digital conference, September 13th in Everett. And yeah, check that out at PSRG. Check it out at PSRG.org. And also the next Rain or Shine is going to be an ice cream social. So August 10th at Green Lake, East side of Green Lake, just north of the paddle boat rental, Green Lake Cafe and concession stand. We're going to be, we're going to have our next Rain or Shine and Tammy and Robert KJ7REB and KJ7JXM are going to be hosting from there. It's going to be our normal Sunday Rain or Shine on August 10th. So come and have some ice cream and visit. Visit, see Hams in 3D. And for everything else, Rain or Shine, anything planned, there's an event to consider on our website, which is PSRG.org. That's PSRG.org. Let's continue on with this new net. This is Rebecca KK7IJZ. Start a new list. Call sign and name, RF and internet."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T12:33:24+00:00","id":14086,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14085,"text":" Hey, 3-0-E.

Yeah, he's trying to talk. How about that? Anyway, doing great over here, working on a small quilting project and making good progress there. Got the crazy canned tenant working last night. That worked great. And I don't know what I'll do for an antenna this evening, but I will come up with something I know. So not much else going on here. Got Polo out twice. The weather's just perfect for walking, so get out there if you can and enjoy it. Back to you, K3-0-E. Oh, hey Polo. It's good to hear you, Polo. I love you. Well, thank you for your report, Rich. It's always good to hear from you. And yes, it is a perfect day for a walk outside. So many sunscreen and a hat. But I think that we're going to go... Maybe we'll go to Tony State Park. That's a good idea. But yeah, thank you so much, Rich. 73888 and so many kisses to Polo. It's good to hear from you too. All right, let's do... It's kind of a slow neck today, which is totally fine with me. We got a ton of fun check-ins, and I even got a check-in from John on Camano Island. So my work to do is done. So let's go ahead and do last call. Last call for this new net. Last call. K7, hotel Charlie Delta. Chris. Hey, Chris. Got you on the list. More stations, please. This is last call. Alpha, Bravo 6.

Hey, Chris, KK78CD, KK79JZ. KK79JZ, this is KK78CD. Hey, Rebecca, good to hear you're running the net. Thank you for running the net and listening, good to listen to everyone's reports about what's going on with them today. Oh, we started a massive project of reorganizing the laundry room slash ham shack slash, I guess it's kind of one of our secondary libraries as well because we've got, I'm staring at a lot of books. Anyhow, I'm taking a break from that and starting another project. I've got this Zoom tool kit, educators kit, that we'll be hauling around to share with folks. It's got, oh, I didn't count the pieces, but a lot of pieces. I think I've sent you a link about what Zoom tools are. They're sort of a, not really a Lego, but they're a modeling, 3D modeling tool that they make out in Colorado and they're just amazing. They had a special going on. We got our hands on an educator kit and we're getting it all organized. It didn't come with a, it just came in a bunch of plastic bags, so I bought one of the Plano, fishing tackle box things, organizing boxes, but now I have to decide where all the little pieces go and which dividers to put where and all that kind of stuff. I don't know, it may be a little bit bigger of a project than I had intended. Anyhow, well, I can't think of much else. I just wanted to jump in and say hi. Thanks for running the net. Hope everyone out there has a wonderful day. KK78CD. Well, Chris, thank you so much for sharing the project you all are working on. That's fun and yeah, I absolutely remember those Zoom tools. Yeah, that's cool. I'm excited to see or hear about what you all are gonna do with them. Yeah, that's great. And reorganizing, I feel like our house is in a perpetual state of reorganizing. It's like yesterday my sister moved her office into this weird entertainment room that we have and who knows why, but she did and so that's the thing. But yeah, but it's fun. It's fun keeping each other on our toes of sorts, but yeah, we're always reorganizing and shifting around. Yeah, paintings and pictures and yeah, just doing stuff. And for me, I've always got some painting project going on. Some, yeah, it sounds like we're in the same boat, always fixing something, figuring out things and yeah, the same, same thing. Same, same, same. Thus is the life of a ham radio operator. Not only are you a ham radio operator, you're in all of the things. You do all of the things. Well, 73 and 33 to the ladies at your house and kisses to Teddy. It's good to hear from you, Chris. It was fun chatting with you a bit yesterday in Seattle. All right, next up, we have a little bit of a break. All right, next on the list and last for this net is Jeff, Alpha Bravo Six, Mike Bravo. Hey, Jeff, how's it going today? Hello, Rebecca. It's Albuquerque as always. Good to hear. Yeah, I just got up after my morning nap here and sunny outside and 70 degrees. And 70 degrees here now. Yeah, I put some nuts out for the squirrels and the princess went by and grabbing them. And feels like she's not here at the moment. She's been grabbing them, running off with them. Yeah, a little bit of a bicycle racing on TV here and drinking coffee and it's waking me up, I can tell.

Are you a NET participant looking for the PSR-G net at noon? W83-IGU returning. Well actually I'm in Pennsylvania and I'm just sort of playing around with the Echo and my Macbook. I haven't done anything on this particular laptop so I'm making a few alterations. I've checked this talk group out on my iPhone so I just heard the end of a net that was happening and just wanted to give a call out to see how this thing is working and how I sound. So back to you. Well it just sounded great. It's a phone and I've got a clear node. In fact I've been at the Senior Center in Ballard here in Seattle and I found a wire with the internet connected to it so I've got to bring a router and a clear node and a ham radio and a computer and turn my clear node on and have it linked to the Wi-Fi router that I had on an ISP I got rid of so I can make my phone hotspot work with it because you've got to be logged into something and hooked up to the internet with a clear node before you can change any settings and have it go into your phone for a hotspot. So I've got to bring it all here and make it recognize the internet again and make my phone or just have Jerry fix it. He's good at that. You know it just needs a bunch of updates I think and I like the clear node. I just have to get my internet going again someday, pay somebody for it and all or just go to the library. Can you just have a VU and a Crows competing with me? We're in the back. Some QRM person around here is making you non-VU key up but then it's okay. You can probably hear me through the repeater. I'm in it pretty strong. Well anyways, good to hear from you. And yeah the net. I'm short today. Apparently people are out of town after seafare. A big holiday thing here for the summer. Or they just all went to Sturgis. I don't know. Back to you and or can you just have a VU? This is E3IG returning. Well you don't sound too good on your clear node. My buddy says has a clear node. I have not gone that route. Now we just purchased something called an RF Shark I think. It's a little handheld. It gives them all the links and it's DMR links and DStar and who knows what else. Looks pretty handy. I'm out here and I don't talk computers. I've often just thought any talk group that's worth its salt is normally hooked up to Echo Link. So we're going to play with that more than anything else. And when I'm out doing that I'm on the DTF on the CW. So we're going to go CW on the internet as well. But that's sort of my ham amateur radio operational mode. But you're sounding good and this thing doesn't seem to be working too good either. So I'll turn it back to you. Actually if you back away from the link you'll be about perfect. It's a little distorted now as you got in closer. But that being said it's probably fine. I'm actually coming in on repeater here in Seattle. This is Puget Sound repeater group repeater. And there's about seven received sites and one transmit site. And I get into one of the received sites just beautifully here. And the QRM is from a weaker station so we're further away. So it's even more crazy. We'll just label them and work around them and run higher power. So thanks for the QSO. And the crew I guess likes it too. So back to you and TJ's going to VEU. W83IG you're returning. How's this sound? Actually I first hooked up my audio I know is very poor. Then I actually hooked up an external microphone. Cranked up the audio gain a little bit. Maybe I'll turn it back down but it did."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T12:47:37+00:00","id":14092,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14091,"text":" pretty good.

I've used Peanut on my laptop and I don't computer that I use only for an Amradio third party stuff.

It's 9 o'clock and time for the 9 o'clock net for Monday, August 4, 2025. I'm Joan KX2CW. I'll be your host for this evening. This is a directed social net that happens on the WW7PSR 2-meter FM repeater, which is located on Capitol Hill in Seattle and operated by the Puget Sound repeater group. The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and a PL tone of 103.5. All licensed hams and news licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third-party track, we'd love to hear from them. Two, we encourage you to press that button to tell us a little bit about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else. Please limit your reports to three minutes so we can get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater times out. When you are finished with your report, please end with your call sign. That will keep the FCC happy. I'll be compiling lists of stations that would like to check in, and then I'll ask for your reports. If you'd like to check in only, just let me know that you'll be in and out, also known as an I-O. Again, this is Joan, KX2CW. Let's get the net started. Please come ahead now with your call sign and name. K7AT, Mikkel, a Muckel Kiel with an I-O. All right, Mikkel, I've got your I-O.

And I ran into someone from church and mentioned that, um, I had begun discussing with the rector the possibility of offering a lay preacher's class, and she said she'd be interested. So that's cool, because the class is much more likely to happen if I can get two or three or four people lined up. Um, and so that was cool. And then, uh, and then there was a lady who had two little kids, and they wanted to hear the ABC song. So we... First they wanted to hear Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, so I did that. Then they wanted to hear the ABC song. To hear this, almost, but not quite the same. Um, the rhythm is different. And so I put it down in a key where we could all sing it, and pretty soon there were five people singing the ABC song with a harp accompaniment. It was unbelievably cute. And then I did Doe a Deer, a female deer, because I said, if we're going to do the reading alphabet, we have to do the musical alphabet too. And, um, of course, soulfish is one of these things. I, um, you know, I took a look at it. Doe a deer, female deer, blah blah blah. And then I had to teach a 40-hour music seminar in Spanish. And in Spanish they used, um, soulfish with a fixed doe on C.

And so their name has become synonymous with terrible things. Even though the Grimm Brothers were writing for German middle class tastes of the day and they had actually toned down the folk tales for German middle class tastes centuries ago. Anyway, also I, you know, I guess I do movable dough every week still. We had to learn that as a music student. But I prefer fixed dough, as do you. Take care, Ann, and have a good evening. Next we have a rare Inn from Peter. K-E-6-R-A-X in California. Me right Callie. In the QTH column. Peter, take it away. Good evening, everybody. Always enjoy The highlight of the week is the Monday 9 a.m. check in. And your sweet voice and the way you run your net. But I had a few minutes so I figured I'd make a couple comments. This has been, you know, August starting off to be a busy ham month. We did a push out on Saturday. Club Net tonight. Another Club Net tomorrow night. Radio Wednesday which is our Wednesday coffee get together which has been really popular and the weather has been nice so we can hold it outside. And Gary's net at night. Another ham Club Net on Friday. And then we have cake Saturday twice a month. Another coffee get together that dropped a crowd. And cake for coffee assisted knowledge exchange. We've been doing that for three or four years. And so it makes it pretty busy for August to get started off with ham activity almost every day. Well there is ham activity every day of the week. It's nice to hear everybody on Ke6rX Coffee Assisted Knowledge Exchange. I love that. Take acronym for that. Thank you for the compliment about my sweet voice. Adulcid tones. I've been accused of that. And I wrote in your remarks column I wrote aww heart. Anyway Peter thank you very much for checking in. I'm glad that Monday night is a highlight for you. And have fun down there in California. Next up is K30E Rich back in West Seattle. Please give us your report. An 88. Good evening gentlemen everyone. Well yes indeed. I'm still getting used to being on RF again. Everything sounds different. And everything responds a little differently. But it's fun because I'm back to playing around with crazy antennas. So I posted a picture and so this evening I got three reciprocating saw blades and SWR is looking good. I've checked in so it must be working. I just hope my signal is not jagged.

So anyway, let's see what's on my mind tonight. Well, I saw the video of the picnic the PSRD had, and I saw your lovely smiling face, and it was again, it made me feel good. It was the most wonderful part, seeing y'all having such a good time. This, yesterday, I happened to go into YouTube live, live video of the Orem Sea Spear, or Air Show, but that was pretty good, so I got to see, you know, the C-17 flying around. I saw the C-46, and I saw a little bit of the Blue Angels, and some of the hydrofoil races, so that was cool. I mean, it looked like there was a big crowd. The ceiling was hollow, so the Blue Angels didn't really get a chance to do a lot of what they normally do. I used to go to Air Shows quite a bit, and I seen the Blues, the Thunderbirds, and the Snowbirds. And I got a lot of Air Show pictures I've taken over the years, and I see there's something else that's going on that I'm trying to think of. Well anyway, well I'm glad that also that you all very well both, both through the tsunami, I was monitoring, I was doing the, the repeater, and I heard a little bit of fast carrying there, but fortunately nothing, not a whole lot happened, happened in your wake, which is a good time. I hope you guys don't be threatened by anything like any time in the near future. So that's about all I have tonight. Thanks for hosting it, it's always good to hear you, Joe. 73KF5WYB.net Tsunami, yeah she was my roommate in college. Well, yeah we did all right. You know, we were sheltered a bit in the sound, but you know the sea rise of a tsunami is deceptive, because it's not just a wave, it's like entire ocean is suddenly above normal, and there's a lot more behind that, but we didn't do, I didn't hear any really bad damage, or catastrophic damage anywhere locally, and I'm glad that it warmed your heart to see my smiling face. You know, when you saw me in the video, I was in my nerdy antenna mathematics happy place, so I love it. An analog head, more people are digiheads now, I'm still an analog head, and RF is one of my hobbies I guess. I just happen to have a ham radio license. All right, take care of her, and also a mid 19th century fam 88. All right, so moving right along, we had a couple of IOs from Ki7ryw and KC2STO, and that brings us to Jeff, who is putting a bow on the first round. AB6MB, please give us, oh it popped up here on my, one of my, I keep one of my pads ready for other lines, back channels I should say. But anyway, Jeff, AB6MB, please give us your report. Okay, John, thank you very much.

And a lot of time it's a language barrier, which I hate to use that, but this time it was. And half my order got delivered, and the other half got delivered to the front of the building, which is... I don't know how they did that. Anyway, then the ball game, and you know, just like it can be frustrating sometimes. And annoying. Let's see what else I was going to say here. Anyway, I'm too distracted. Back to you, John. AB6MB. Sorry, Jeff, you caught me chewing on a pickle. I take two jars... I bought two jars of pickles today, and little ones. And as per my normal MO, I swap. I get one regular dill, kosher dill, and the other, you know, like sweet pickles, but I swap the vinegar juices between them to make an in-between. And I have... I just put another piece of my mouse. Why did I do that? Anyway, Jeff, sorry having DoorDash difficulties. I solved the potential problem of dealing with DoorDash by never using it. Take care, Jeff, and hope everything is there in sunny middle California. Here's the boundary. We've reached the boundary between the first round and one Roman numeral to the second round. But before I start another... ask for some more stations, I am going to do the announcements. My point of reference for the announcements is going to the psrg.org home page for the Puget Sound Repeater Group. We're also in social media, PSRG discussion group in Facebook, and the PSRG Discord server in Discord. And the special notices that are on the home page where the most important ones are... ...is there are some pics. Jack posted some of the panoramic pictures of us. And it looks like he was... It's really small. I need stronger reading glasses to see these photographs. Go take a look, folks. I have to move past the microphone. My strongest glasses on. It does look as though Jack is opposite right on the... Is that Jack on the right on the first one? Jack is in different places in each one. All right. Switch back to the medium strength reading glasses. And get back on mic. I have my MacBook in the windowsill to my left. And I have one of the iPads with the scripts curved to the right. And then another iPad in the middle. I have a messenger chat. Anyway, here we go. PSRG board meeting Saturday, August 9th. That is this coming weekend. And the details are there. And there'll be a Zoom link posted on our home page. And anyone is invited to attend and comment, but only board members will vote. And then also coming up next weekend... Oh, no, wait. The day after on Sunday, yes, this weekend is also the PSRG season 7 episode 5 rain or shine new net and ice cream social. That's August 10th. And you can find all the details on the PSRG.org home page, but I'll read a bit of text here. It's going to be on the east side of Green Lake. Folks who've been there before, it's going to be in the same place it's been the other times we've been on Green Lake, which is north of the Paddleboke Rentals and Green Lake Cafe on the eastern side of the lake. Cammie and Robert are going to be running the net. Stop by the net tables and pick up your ice cream ticket before you go to the cafe concession stand. I believe we all have tickets for a complimentary ice cream of some sort. And let's see... Bring a folding chair, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, electric bike. I've got the word this evening that another person, and yet another person is joining our electric bicycle pool in the club and will be showing up. And then of course the ZeroTries Digital Conference September 13th in Everett. And I'll read some of the blurb here. Plans, presentations and demonstrations will be designed to enhance the skills and knowledge of the participants with topics such as, but not limited to, the IP400 networking project, M17 digital voice data system, MMDVMTNC data system, and many other things, you know, VPN software, Define Radio, and HamWAN, one of my favorite topics, which is about microwave networking. Not only do we have a microwave network, a 5 gig microwave network here, Western Washington is also up in the East Coast somewhere, but it's an open microwave network. It's not closed like a commercial net. And so the HamConnect program for New Hams is also a list of hot links to the different hotspots for that, different meetings and stuff. All right, and then again the events to consider on the sidebar, again is the PSRG board meeting on Zoom and the PSRG new net and ice cream social on Sunday, et cetera. Those are the announcements. Let me bring my other windows to the front. And I'm picking up my pencil, taking a sip of my delicious Joan Brew coffee. Mmm, she is coming in.

So, um, AK6LW, Eric, please give us your report. Thanks, Joan, and that's right. AK6LW, and we just recently ended our fostering of the kittens that we were fostering the last couple of weeks. Things are going a little slow with them, and the woman's been working with us. Thought she might pick them up and see if she could do a little better, but not sure how well that's going to work out. Since they bit the crap out of her when she tried to collect them, but she ended up having to go to urgent care. So, it's possible we might end up with the kittens back here again before the end of the week. I also had the fun issue with the FDA transmission on the 40 meter band turning my washing machine on. And I managed to fix that with a little RF choke. I moved that from my other antenna, and then when I did that, I got a second RF choke. Getting it to turn on using the other antenna on the 70 meter band. But I took everything apart today and kind of redid all the connections. And now I'm able to do the FDA without turning the washing machine on or off, which can be a little disruptive when you're trying to do laundry. That's it. That's the net. Alpha Kilo 6, Lemowiski, Barrick and Daly City. This is repeater station Kilo 27, November, Quebec, November. I don't know if you said Eric or Derek. Last time, let me just quickly jump over to QRZ.com and enter your call sign. AK6LW, AK6LW with one hand, because it's sitting on the windowsill to my left. Eric, I did it right the first time. Yes, well, I find business on ending the fostering of the kittens and your FT8 adventures and the washing machine that you have improved the design with an RF choke. But I'll have to mention to you, Eric, that as you were transmitting, your audio was clear, but its level was fluctuating. It was fluctuating from normal level of modulation to very quiet, like dropped to like 20 decibels down and come back as if it were like a microphone connection. Looking at your pics, Eric has got some nice technically a shack pic and a couple three antenna pics on his QRZ.com profile. So, anyway, take care. Eric, thank you for stopping in. I hope you can troubleshoot your mic level intermittency that was happening. All right, next we've got W9MAQ without a name yet, but please give us your name and go ahead and give us a report. W9MAQ, and the name is Jim, located here in northwest Indiana in the Chicagoland area. And, yeah, I had a busy day today setting up a couple of cameras, wireless security cameras. Going to put one out in the front of the house, one in the back of the house and got them up and running. And the conditions here in northwest Indiana tonight are much better than they were last night at this time. That the soot and the smoke coming from the Canadian wildfires was really, really covering northwest Indiana and the Chicago area. It smelled like the house was on fire. Had to get up and check to make sure everything was okay. Saw some video from the top of the Sears Tower shooting down at Lollapalooza and you could barely see Grant Park. The soot and the smoke and everything was pretty bad. And they reported that Chicago had the worst air quality of any city in the world. And that was for like two days. So we're hoping that things sort of calm down up in in Canada there because it sure was getting into the Chicago area and northwest Indiana. But anyway, wanted to say hello to everyone in the Seattle area there and anyone else listening here. I'm using, coming in tonight from using a repeater phone and it sounds really good here tonight. There's no breakup or anything at all. There's no audio problems whatsoever. It sounds really good Joe. So I wanted to pass that on. So 73 from northwest Indiana and the Chicagoland area. W9MAQ. Well fine business Jim. Yes I am favorably impressed with the repeater phone. I have it on my devices and uh three of my devices. And it works really well. It's easy to use. It has good audio quality. And I jotted a bunch of stuff down in your remarks column. And basically we were talking about and the smoke. I'll just mention the smoke. So far no smoke here. We haven't been hit with it yet. Although we do have a season here between in the Pacific Northwest between summer and autumn. Cold smoke. Take care Jim. Thank you for stopping by on a Monday night. And I will catch you down the log. Moving right along. Uh we had Louis gave us uh who's AI6XD. Louis uh is an IO. And that brings us to the bottom of the second. So let me draw another line.

But David, Elaine was totally stopping you. And so, David, could you please give me your call sign, and do you still want to be an I-O? Sure, no. Yeah, just an I-O site, and it's been a while since I checked in. And it's nice to hear everybody get a great signal today. So, thought I'd check in. My name is David, and it's Kilo India 7 Delta Romeo. Wish everybody a great night. Thank you. Back to you. Well, thank you for that little report, David. Even though you're an I-O. You're one of the people that gets an I-O in the status column and a number, report number in the report number column. Thank you for stopping by. And I think you're getting into Cougar with a 2-3 scale on the Votascope. So, you're good to go. If that's all you can do, you're still good. Just a slight bit of noise, and don't be a stranger. All right, more stations, please. I've got Elaine so far and David on the list, David's I-O. I was just like misnomer. More stations, please, for this third round. Kilo, Golf 7 Quebec Echo Oscar, Team George 7 Queen Echo Ocean, time is 0-7, quite excellent operator, DJ Delta Juliet. All right, DJ, I've got you in the log. Quite excellent operator, yes, I live on an ambulance route. It's really loud in my apartment. By the way, I'm using a studio microphone that, unlike the omnidirectional microphone on the telephone, it is much better at not picking up all the noise that's in my apartment. But I have one window cracked open. Yeah, there they go. They're now stopping in front of my building, so I'm all right. More stations, please. Kilo 7 Quixotic Emergency Signals, this is a battery. All right, I've got two. I've got KK7 Quixotic Emergency Signals. I think that's Justin. I'm never sure. And there was somebody else that was doubling with QES. Who was that station? That was Kilo Juliet 7, Victor Echo Unicorn. Mike in Magnolia with three-quarters of a battery on this one. All right, I'm putting you down for a recheck. I'm erasing the number 20 from the operator number column. All right, and I'm going to make a quick, as long as I'm here, it's bugging me that I can't remember, so I'm forgetting someone's actual name. Yeah, I'm ready to work, Justin. Yay! All right, I've got Michael for a recheck with a better battery and a better radio. More stations, please. KV7 Mike Whiskey, Peter in Shoreline. Medium wave, Peter in Shoreline. Right, Shoreline. The other stations are all in Washington. Okay, operator 20. I'm going to watch my numbers. I don't need to keep this log, folks, but I like to keep logs, even during the week, and believe it or not, if you've talked on the PSRG repeater, I probably logged you in a log somewhere on whatever night, whatever day.

Probably will be a fourth round. Because we're zipping along. So back to the top, to November 3, oink moo oink. Elaine in Seffert Hills, Florida. 33 and please give us your report. So thank you very much, Jerry. This is November 3, Oscar my Godster. Aka Oink Moo Oink. And I just wanted to say hello to all my friends out there on the radio. I'm going to report something that was a miracle as far as I was concerned. Last week I got a letter from my bank saying that my $20 a year, $20 for my safety pocket box was due. And this is weird, and to please have the amount in the checking account for that. Well, the first phase I did not remember even having the safety pocket box. And I sure didn't know if I did have one where the keys were. So we went to the bank today, my brother and I, and they checked and they brought papers out for me. And yes, I do have a safety pocket box. And yes, the $20 was due. That's $20 a year, which is pretty cheap. And she brought the papers out and I checked them. And on July 26 of last year, I did sign for a safety pocket box. And I recognized my own signature, but I just don't remember doing it. It's the strangest thing. And she asked me if I had money, and I had no recollection of even getting keys. And they were given to me in a middle-sized pouch, a red cardboard envelope. And I had no idea. She said, well, we can't do anything without these $20 keys. You can't even get into the box, number one. And it will cost you, are you ready for this? $300 if you can't find the keys. I just got that. And I said, well, I guess I better go back home. And my godmother said, start sharing my desk, and see if I can find that pouch with the keys in it. So I got in the car. The first thing I said to my higher power was, please help me find those keys. I don't know where they are. And in my mind, right away, believe it or not, but it happened, I saw the red envelope in my mind in my jewelry box. And I told my brother that, so I came home and walked into my bedroom and looked into my jewelry box. I had a layer on top and then a bigger section of it on the bottom. I took the top layer off and looked and there was the red pouch, leaning against the wall in the bottom part of the jewelry box. I couldn't believe it. I just, I sank my higher power. And I know that the rock just wrapped its ear. And there it was. It turned its ear. There were two keys there. So, that's the red. I swear to hell if that works. I said, okay, I've never had that happen before. So tomorrow we're going back to the bank with the keys. And I can probably see what is, if anything is even in there, I don't know. And if not, then I will close out the box because I obviously don't need it. It's just so weird to not even remember having been in the bank."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T22:07:23+00:00","id":14149,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14148,"text":" from your occult today. So that's EJ, 2388 to everyone. This is November 3, Oscar, not Oscar. Well, fine business, Elaine. You know, it gets more and more, it happens more and more as we get older. And then the memory, if you called on your neural pathways to like, oh, here it is. Look, this is the last time you saw that red envelope. And that's excellent. I'm glad that you found it. First thing I wrote down in the remarks column when you were talking about that you apparently had a safety deposit box that you can remember. I was writing, beware of jam. But I'm glad you found it. Anyway, take care, Elaine. And it's good to hear you. And take care. Hope you're going to be safe in Florida. Well, next we had the quasi IO from David, KI7 DRP. And that brings us to one of my friends out there, KG7 QEO, DJ, who was at field day too. DJ, go ahead and give us your report. This is Kulu Gull, 7 Quebec Echo, Oscar, kindly giving seven, quick accent operator. Name here is DJ, stand up Juliet. Quick signal check with you. I have my signal. You were getting into Capital Park as a secondary and getting into Beacon as a primary. And I had it partially covered up with QRZ.com. But I could see you were getting into those two receivers quite well. Back to you, DJ. Roger. All right, thank you so much. Well, tonight I'm at my friend's shack in the woods. I can't disclose exactly where it's at. He's been here about three years. So you've got to be careful. But I bought a solar panel today and a couple of other items. I bought a 30 watt MPPT solar panel. And we have an inverter here and a battery, a deep cycle battery that's somewhat good. It's good enough. And anyway, we're working to get some power out into the shack. And it really is literally a shack, homemade, out of pieces. Probably one of the most nice signs. Don't ask me where I got the signs. But DOT might be a little mad. I don't know. It has nothing to do with that. But anyway, probably no trespassing. It was a native girlfriend here, in particular. It's still never funny. But anyway, I'm in a shack in the woods. And it's a safe spot. There's a bed here, like a little bed, a couch. And now we've got power coming. It's a 30 watt panel, though. But I'm hoping that's enough to slowly recharge it off and on. I would have gone with 100 watt, but I can't afford that. And this one will fail. My understanding is MPPT is a little bit more efficient in cloudy weather. This spot gives about three hours of direct sunlight. The rest is indirect through the canopy. But there is a hole in it. And I'm not hoping to utilize it every day. But slowly, over time, I'm hoping that's enough to come by and effectively charge up. But a relatively good spot, high elevation. It should, you know, shift. But it's not quite easy to get to. The bus is 34, 35 minutes away. Go over towards Alki. I'll keep it that. But anyway, yeah, it's dry. It's safe. There's a bed here. Nobody else is here. Nobody knows about it, really. Well, a couple people, but, you know, close to it. Communities. And yeah, anyway, you see that I can stay here regularly. And it's away from all the, it's off the street, away from all the chaos. And I have, all my battery banks are now currently depleted. I was waiting for that solar panel, really. I'm probably going to have the library charge all four of my power banks. I was thinking about buying a projector. We have a large screen area here. But I can't afford that right now. So wherever you come next month, that's my treat to myself. But I did buy a smartwatch today. Amazing, what's it? $80. And that's going to be delivered tomorrow as well. So I'm looking forward to that. And I'm doing OK. You know, food and water is always the thing. But I got a shower this morning. Went to the mail center and got my debit card. And I had misplaced my wallet recently. Bush, I don't know which Bush. Bush number 25618 917. I don't know, probably. But that Bush is really far. Anyway, I think I'm about to time out. This is Q of 07, Quebec Echo Oscar, KG 730. We're almost there. Well, DJ, you were, by the way, you were getting a cent. Again, I'll say you had the strongest signal in the Beacon, a secondary strength signal in the Capitol Park. And Cougar, you faded in strongly into Cougar a couple of times there. And 30 watt panels should be plenty. My partner and I in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, living off the grid for 3 and 1 1 years at that particular QTH, had only a 20 watt solar panel that did a good job keeping a deep cycle battery mostly topped off. But we were QRP operators and just running into moon box and some incandescent utility lighting that we would only turn on when we're in a back room and turn it off when we leave. I have that original 20 watt panel and a newer 20 watt panel, and I also have got a couple of 10 watt panels, which, of course, you can wire them in parallel to be a 20 watt panel. And I've only ever needed like 20 watt, a 20 watt panel. But I'm a dedicated QRP operator too. You're talking about getting a projector. You're starting to sound like you want to do things that may be outside of your energy budget. Also, the condition of the battery that you're floating is matters. Like if you've got a new lithium ferro phosphate four cell, that it won't lose power. It won't just lose its power sitting there. AGM batteries and lead lead oxide batteries are worse at that. It's going to lose power faster. But I'm getting off on the topic. I'll stop there, and I hope that it all works for you, DJ. So take care. Now we go to KK7QES. Justin, please give us your report. Well, hey, Joe. That's Justin, KK7QES and 73. Thanks for having that. I hope you're well. Interesting report from DJ there. I hope DJ is well in the shack too. Yeah, I'm always interested to hear what people are up to with solar projects and things like that. So good evening, DJ. I am winding down here in the shack tonight and just kind of recovering from a very busy weekend. And it felt like a summer that has been a little bit too full. But this is the first week in what I think is like six weeks that my family is not traveling out of town for kind of a long weekend or camping trip or something like that. So it's been really busy. It's been a great summer. But I'm looking forward to staying put for more than four days. It'll be really nice. And while I'm listening to the net tonight, I'm working on a little battery project too. I'm putting together, I'm going to call it like a breakout box for powering USB-C devices from a 12-volt lithium iron phosphate battery. And I have a few of those. And I just use them for powering radios, like during power edges. Or if I take them camping or for portable operations, things like that, which I haven't done much of yet. But so I have these batteries. And they're not doing much. And so I wanted to get a little bit more utility out of them. And so I've taken these. It's like a surface mount or a panel mount USB-C with multiple ports. This is the kind of thing that I actually meant for our heat. This is the heater station, low key load zone, November, Quebec, November. And put four of them in a little enclosure. Located in Shelton, Washington. And fused all that. And then put a power pole connector on it. And the idea was basically if we have a power outage, myself or my wife or anyone could easily just plug in one of these batteries to this little breakout box and have all sorts of USB-C charging ports that would power a multitude of devices. So anyway, that's what I'm working on. I'm not sure how exciting that really is to anyone, even myself. But that's what I'm doing. I hope everybody's doing great out there. I heard you report, Joan, about no smoke where you're at. We got a little bit of it here on Finn Hill. Just kind of the slightest smell faintly in the air tonight. So I hope it goes away, though. All right, I'll send it back to Nat. This is KK7 QES. Well, Justin, smoke. I'm going to check my weather guesser here, the weather app on my iPad. And I'm looking for the smoke. Just to see. It says air quality next is 71, which is worse than yesterday at about this time. So it's moderate. You know, I guess I could smell some smoke today. But it wasn't like a, what do you call it? It wasn't an oppressive amount of smoke. It was enough that I could tell it was there. And I have a pretty good sense of smell. And I could be a sommelier, probably. I can smell the difference between bed bugs. Not only can I smell bed bugs, but I can smell the difference between bed bugs and ticks. That's kind of the sense of smell I have. And I lost it. I had COVID, and I lost my sense of smell. I had long COVID, and I got my first vaccination and went away. And I've been noticing this year that I'm getting my sense of smell back. And getting it back is as good as it used to be. So anyway, yeah, air quality index of 71 for Seattle. And also, you know, batteries, the batteries that we have, battery chemistries we're using now of late, the last few years, is much better than the battery chemistries that we had before. So I'm all for it. Battery power. And many, many more duty cycles than it used to be normal. Take care, Justin. Moving right along, we've got Michael is back, KJ7VEU, to give a proper report."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T22:08:39+00:00","id":14150,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14149,"text":" DUNY cycle, Morse code, and what is SV spectrum bandwidth? There's something we're talking about on the SFPV net on 147.08 that Cody was on. And there was a sleep bandwidth that switched to a couple of modes and then did data transmission. And I like that one because it sounded like it did sleeps and bandwidth, audio bandwidth tests to optimize the data, or the receive side for data receiving. And knowing all that I do about group delay and phase differences at different levels and such, it's like, in fact group delay, I don't know how you describe it, but on a stair step signal, the difference in phase on a plus Q phase at the same amplitude and phase on all the stair steps. If it starts to drift at either the high or the low end, you've got group delay and it's visible in color bars real easy. On NTSC, you'll have twice the same color format. So, yeah, I have to read my Wikipedia again and learn how to describe that kind of amplitude and frequency-related phase delays and advances and stuff that we saw with the telephone company gave us most of that to look at, laugh at, and watch change with the microwave phase. Back to you and I'll quit geeking out. KJ7VEU, good night, Joan. Well, you geeked me out so much, Michael, that I booted up my tricorder, my Star Trek, the original series tricorder, and I have it normally in audio mode because now I'm looking at my audio, a oscilloscope waveform and a fast Fourier transform spectrum. There it is. Oh, yeah, that gets it going. So there you go.

I'm glad you made it back. Alright, and we'll give you report. Fourteen, there we go. So next, Peter, different Peter is putting the bow on this third round. You know, we've got AE7WE, which I didn't check. And QRZ is IO at the very end. But Peter, KD7 medium wave in Shoreline. Please give us your report. You're putting a bow on the round. Well, okay, this is KD7 Mike Whiskey and Peter in Shoreline. And I am unfortunately nursing a bit of a summer cold and haven't been feeling too well the last several days. My wife's in even worse shape. I mean, we will survive and it's not COVID. We've tested. But so I'm kind of cooped up and fooling around and nerding out with some ham radio stuff. And so first of all, before I get to ham radio stuff, somebody I believe her name was Ann mentioned something about movable dough back in the first round. And I understand exactly the problem because I learned movable dough. And then when I was in college, I also took music courses at the Lawsey School of Music in Cambridge, Massachusetts, just across the Cambridge Common from Harvard, which was about the closest I ever got to it. And they fancied themselves the annex of the Paris Conservatory in the United States. So they were interested in you developing perfect pitch and they used a fixed dough system. And of course, whenever I did solfege, which is sight singing, then I would immediately turn dough into whatever key the piece had just modulated to. And they got very mad and they yelled at me, but it's okay. I still managed to get through the courses and did pretty well aside from that, so I'm not too unhappy about it. But anyway, Ann, if you're still there, I feel your pain. Now, because of my cold, I was planning on going to see the Blue Angels on Saturday. I was going to go down to Boeing Field and watch them do their take-off and landing and passes over the field. But no, fate intervened, so I did end up listening to them. In fact, I put some frequencies in the middle of last week up on the Facebook page. And it was really fun to listen to those guys. And when this one guy was going to roll his plane, he would say, going into a roll. And I suspect that the change of the pitch of his voice was to alert his colleagues to exactly what he was doing. Very interesting. And I listened to them on my little UVK5 quenching radio, which for 30 bucks is the most fun I've had in ham radio in a long, long time. You can put your own, put special firmware in it. It'll even do a simulacrum of SSD and it will do CW. So I'm thinking maybe I'll take that to a hilltop someday and see what I can accomplish with it. Apart from that, I was doing just some tests with all of the various antennas that I've got over the years to see which ones received well. Probably want to try transmitting. I'm wondering if anybody in the PSRG hierarchy would object if I did some tests late at night, would that be alright when I didn't disturb anybody? Or would that wake up a control operator and make him or her grumpy? So that's my story. And I will turn it back to you, KD7 Mike Whiskey back to that, to everybody. And so long, Joe. Well, fine business, Peter. You know, what I would do is not, I'm far from hierarchy. I'm a grunt level of, you know, control operator and this repeater. And, but what I would do to not have the possibility that you would be putting pain to a, you know, control operator, a repeater control operator that has the, you know, the power to control the repeater. That I would avoid doing it in the wee hours. I would do it at a late hour that is within normal waking hours when the repeater is not in use. You can do that when the repeater is in use or not in use. So as soon as this net is over and you hear there's, nobody seems to be wanting to transmit, then that would be the time I would do it. But this is only my opinion. I am, let's see, in my humble opinion, I am H-O. I do testing on the repeater, but I don't ever do it in the wee hours because that's what I feel it's like. If someone is tasked with keeping their ear on the repeater, you would be disrupting them. But if it's like, you know, 11 o'clock at night or, you know, 1130 or something like that, most people are still up at that hour. But that's also, that's not scientific. That's just me kind of taking a guess. Maybe I know, all the people I know are late nighters. Anyway, that little, we started talking about that cool little transceiver. I went into record mode so I could listen to it later and get the model number and look it up. Because if you can do single sideband, as we all know, single sideband is a specialized form of amplitude modulation called single sideband suppressed carrier amplitude modulation. So if it can do a, if it can do single sideband in any way, you're saying that it wasn't exactly doing it by normal means, but that means it can do AM, which means that you probably is a good radio to listen to aviation on. But people forget that single sideband is in fact AM. So anyway, Peter, thank you for that excellent report. I loved it. And even recorded the part where you were talking about that radio. So I'm going to listen to that again and review it. Alright folks, that's the end of this third round. I will start a fourth round, but at this late hour, I'm going to say that this is going to be for the handlers for last call. So anybody out there, anybody out there who wants to get into this net, this is last call. This is KX2CW, Joan on Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington, asking for last call. And we're going to land in the nation of November 3, November 9th. We're going to launch a new mission of no time south of Florida. We're going to land out. Everyone have a great night. I'm back out tomorrow, so I'll be away for the rest of the week. But if you wanted to say hi, hi and bye. Hope you all have a great rest of your week. Alright, I got three operators and I only got one call sign, or I want a name out of it, no call sign. So I've got David and Moberge in the Dakotas. Moberge, I forget which Dakota, but David, I did not get your call sign. So David, could you give your call sign and say the state where Moberge is? I'll try it out. Okay, N3N2V, November 3, November Tango Victor. David, once again, in Moberge, South Dakota, we're in and out. Everyone have a great night. Alright, thank you for that, David. I've got South Dakota in no television for your suffix. N3N2V. There were two other stations, I'm just rolling the roulette wheel. One of you had low audio and didn't give your call sign at the end, but both of you were talking for a while. But go ahead, those two stations, pop back in with your call signs and then I'll sort you out. KJ7, Victor, I've got your uniform please. I'll come in quickly. Alright, go for that, Michael. Oh yeah, let's see where to begin. Oh yeah, a Yupir Mapper on a postcard on a National Lampoon Vacation is at the UP's in Wisconsin. Let's see, what was the other thing? Oh, I am a HO in my humble opinion. Watch out, that means I am HO. That's in Black American English, but that's for a license plate if they'll do it. Let's see, what else did I want to comment on? I don't know, I've got to go turn the water off, my fake plant is trickling and I don't want to let it run all night. Thanks Joan. KJ7VU, good luck. Alright, got those comments Michael. And there was a third operator, not David, not Michael, who was the third operator. Hey there, this is Amber, Kilo, Mike, Devin, Bravo, Victor, Tango. Hopefully I'm not talking alongside anyone else here. Just wanted to pop in, say hi and say bye. I'm going to be talking about DefCon for the rest of the week and I hope that you all have a great week out there. Alright Amber, thank you for that. I'm putting you in the log, I'm counting what you just said as a report. And I've got Kilo Mike, Devin, Bravo, Victor, Tango. I'm going to look you up now. Last time I looked you up you weren't in QRSAT yet. So, uh, Kilo Mike, so we know we've gone to Mike already from the KKs. We can't use L or uh, oh we are Mike, okay yeah. Kilo Mike, there we go. Hang on, I have to do this one handed and I have like about a 100 degree sweep of my attention span here. BVT, that's it. BVT, doink, with one finger. There you are, you made it in there. You have 11 look ups, Amber. 11, 11. So put some kind of fun content in there for biography. Alright, I've got you on the list. And so, um, I better ask for more stations. I was just going to go let Amber give her report, but I'll make sure there's any more stragglers out there. This is last call. Alright, Kingston Bill. Okay Bill. Alright, I've got you in the log, Bill. Any more stragglers? Kilo, Kilo 7, Victor, India, November. Jesse with an I O. Good evening to the net. Hey Jesse, I've got your calls signed. Thank you for your I O. Uh, thank you for driving by. Anyone, someone who's doubling with Jesse, who is that? Okay, we've got Mike and Chandler. Okay, and then N5AQM.

I am, yes, I am looking, there you are, Peter. Yes, bass, ooh, and player. We want to talk about movable dough or immovable dough. I prefer immovable dough myself. I never managed to develop perfect pitch because our piano at home, although we grew up with a piano in the living room, it was never, usually not in tune. And so, perfect pitch fades in and it comes and goes, it's elusive. Sometimes it's there, usually if I remember a song I'll sing it in the correct key, but not always. What's up, Peter? Well, yeah, I don't have perfect pitch, but I do have very good relative pitch. One of my saving graces in those music courses was that they had a game called Hot Seat, where people would play two different notes on the piano, they could be any notes, and you had to tell what they were. And I was undefeated even though I was not a full music major. I had a music minor which was almost a double major. So, anyway, I was undefeated in that because for some reason I could tell what key it was just by hearing the couple of notes and the difference between them, which according to equal temperament is not true, but yet I could. But ask me to sing an A and I will be anywhere plus or minus three quarters of a step."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-04T22:36:57+00:00","id":14161,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14160,"text":" I can't, I have to stop myself short from singing on the air. There are certain songs that I use them as key finders and I will always be right on pitch with a certain melody that I remember, like Mozart, 23rd Symphony, or Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and even some like jazz songs. And rock songs. And my little brothers will remember the pitches too and we'll start singing harmonies spontaneously. They could make a movie about us. We're haunted. But I always can tell an interval. I'm similarly undefeated in the general choir when we're doing Mozart's Requiem. I did the recording, I hired me to do the recording and the director said that I had done the best recording he's ever heard of Mozart's Requiem. And it's gone. It was lost in storage when I became homeless. But if a director in the general choir or the general choir would ask what that interval was, I could tell what the interval was. I could nail it every single time, but I can't always tell what key it's in. So isn't it funny? We get bits and pieces. We get scraps. Very good. Yeah, it is funny. The French Conservatory people evidently believe that perfect pitch can be developed. I don't agree. I think that it's born. And you can get closer to it, but I don't think you can develop it fully. And I've got very good relative pitch, but not perfect pitch. Anyway, segue, this quan shang, it's called the UVK5, Uniform Victor Kilo 5. $30 on Amazon, and the cool thing about it is that you can put any firmware you want into it, and there are several. And there's two, one from England and one from Italy, that will allow you to do not real single sideband, but double sideband, somewhat suppressed carrier. So I actually used it the other night, a couple of weeks ago on the Western Washi, what is it, Pacific Northwest VHF Society, or whatever they call themselves. They have an SSB net on, what is it, Tuesday nights at 730 or eight, I forget which, it's on their website. Anyway, I participate in that with some older gear that drifts, but it works. Anyway, I tried this out, and it was actually quite usable. So I'm thinking that perhaps it can serve as a hilltop type of thing, because a handheld is not all that heavy to carry.

Yeah, well this is a special firmware and you can look it up. It's called the IJV firmware. India Victor Juliet. And that's the suffix of the Italian guy who wrote it. And unlike many of the people who messed with these firmwares, he didn't just choose a particular set of features. He actually got in, I think, into the DSP of the radio and messed around with it. And somehow he has managed to create, you can receive AM but you can't transmit it, but you can transmit and receive DSP, suppressed carrier, and CW. And nobody's quite sure how he did it and he's not telling. I looked at the signal with a tidy S.A. and I couldn't make hide nor hair of it. But I do know that when you listen to it on the air, you can tune it in and it does sound like single sideband with a bit of a carrier. So, and of course there's two sidebands because somehow I'm sure it's a digital equivalent of the old-fashioned phasing rigs that's somehow happening. Now the good news is that this firmware also allows you to set your arrow keys to a whole slew of step rates, all the way from, you know, multiple kilohertz and multiple tens of kilohertz for even up to broadcast FM, and all the way down to ten measly little hertz. Ten hertz. And that's good enough. That's good enough for either CW or sideband. You might want a little bit more resolution than that, but hey, in a tiny little radio that's good enough. So I was just very, very pleased with that. So you got these radios, they're cheap, they're cheerful, they're Chinese, and hams can mess around with the firmware. Me likey. 87MW. Well, that's the best part. You know, that, you know, back in the day there were electronics kits, and the whole point of the kits is you could try all these different things, you could follow the instructions to make this or that or the other thing. But once you found your way around in them, you could like, well what happens if I do this? You know, and I made all kinds of cool things happen. And having something inexpensive to take apart, it's okay if you don't get it back together again, it's not the end of the world if you break it when they cost $30 to buy. So I'm glad that people are experimenting and finding ways to repurpose, you know, lowly VHF handhelds. And yes, 10Hz tuning resolution is considered good enough for doing amateur radio and normal communications. Although, as a CW operator, I am almost always switching my radios into one cycle per second tuning resolution, tuning steps. And Peter, it's fun talking with you. I'm going to go to bed now, or do something. But I enjoyed this conversation. We should meet up and have a conversation in real life, you know, over a coffee or an ice cream social this weekend, a Sunday in Greenwood. And I'll bring my Star Trek tricorder. But anyway, I'm going to sign with you, I'm going to listen out to your final transmission and turn everything off and crawl into my cocoon. Take care, Peter. I enjoy our conversations. This is Joan, KX2 CW, and I will be clear on your final transmission. Okay, very good, Joan. I figured you'd want to know about this, especially judging from your expression when you came back to my report. I figured this is something that's going to interest Joan. So yeah, it's great. I was saying that I think the ratio of dollars to fun on this little thing has been one of the best things I ever bought in amateur radio. So anyway, that's the story. Nice to talk to you. Take care. And hopefully I will feel better in time for the social next weekend. I actually spaced out and missed the picnic.

Going through Pennsylvania, 310 miles of boredom. That night is not boring, but it's a little dangerous. We did that for three years every two weeks. This year we flew out. I sent my son 17 and he flew out for the first day. And then the two consecutive weekends we also flew. And the last one we drove, but I'll tell you the truth, I prefer driving. Then taking the plane, you know Ron, you go to Chicago, Iowa, and it's still two and a half hours to the camp. And then from the hotel to the camp it's an hour and fifteen minutes. You end up driving like eleven hours when you're flying, versus probably like twenty-four hours when you're not flying. So, I'm pressured. And, you know, I'm pretty much pressured. Back to you. I'm pressured. Yeah, understood. You might have a vehicle on your property, maybe a rented one. It's been so long since I was there. You're right, it's the Delaware River, not the Hudson. And they also had cattle corn. People that were there, you know, they were like breaking it right off the stalks and eating the corn raw. And it was pretty good actually, and the blueberries. And I was really young back then. We were putting coins on the railroad tracks for when the train went by. So we would have the squashed coins. That was a nice place I was at. They had archery and canoeing. It was a boarding house. Duffie's River View, it was called. I don't know if you ever heard of it or not.

But nevertheless, we were a bit hesitant. We were very happy that we did, you know. It was six weeks and it was really good for him. You know, the problem is that we're from Colombia, South Bogota, and my kids' friends are in Bogota, you know, my daughter's friends are in Bogota. And here in Secaucus, which is about three miles outside of Manhattan, it'll probably be three miles. If we want to go to MetLife stations, MetLife is about two or three miles away from here. But in this area, my kids don't have any friends. And so it was a good thing that he went to camp and I'm sure he had, well, we get photos, you know, these days there's a company called Bonk 1, you pay like $100 a year in the summer. And they send you photographs, you know, of all the kids. And then he was off with facial recognition software to pick out your son. So we got about a thousand pictures there over the last three years, but it was a lot of fun. Now back to you. Yeah, where I was there was a lot of young children my age. That was one of the reasons why I got to go there. I think like three seasons I made it there. And I don't know if I have anything like that anymore, but that was a really good experience for a young person that I had. I've been out there for, you know, the time I got to, you know, I had to rush three times. I guess that was like three months because we spent four weeks there. You know, once a year for a while.

You have the Senate, the president of the Senate, pro temp out there is in jail. The president of the Congress is in jail. The president of the country, M-19, a guerrilla group, responsible for killing 200 people when they took over the Ministry of Justice.

And, um, yeah, it's funny, the World Court, I believe, and also the Colombian court, we can't do, you know, they don't, won't allow spraying of the fields, which, you know, things that really work, you know? It's a dilemma, so there's no real solution, but it gets, it's better than not, you know, than not spraying. And, uh, so, so at the end, these are narco states. Um, so, so that's the definition of words, uh, meanings, and, um, we, you know, Venezuela's a narco state. Um, the, um, Trump just put the, their, uh, um, the soles, which soles means that they have sons on, you know, sons on their, um, uniforms. These are the generals. And there's a cartel of about 80 of them that were, there are generals in Venezuela who run a cartel with the president. And so Trump put them on the terrorist list, which is a good thing. Um, but we're on the same road, you know, here in, um, in, in, in Colombia. I'll back to you. What they did here was, um, when we had a free and fair election without interference, they, uh, accused, or they made accusations that it was, uh, influenced by, uh, you know, foreign government. And when it, uh, actually was influenced by a foreign government or by, uh, them themselves, you know, they claimed that it was a free and fair election and we didn't know it. We were talking about, um, a conspiracy theory, but how they managed to stay in power, um, has been cut off now, fortunately. So there, there, uh, you know, there isn't as many of them as it was made to look like. I cite several examples. If anybody wants proof, uh, and you know, we had known that, uh, 10, uh, known this 10 years ago and, uh, we had the, uh, saying that we have more proof now, but truth we had been, you know, it was like you were talking to a wall when you would say, you know, that, uh, if you had any, uh, you know, definitive reason why they shouldn't say the things they did and you'd present it to them, they would just, you know, like close up and, and, and not say anything after that. And it was like, you didn't say it at all, as far as they were concerned. So it was frustrating because, you know, they had, uh, the control that they had in our department of justice. Uh, when crim, when they made the criminal referrals were made, they would, uh, just ignore them. And, uh, if, you know, anybody was called into Congress, uh, you know, you could tell that they were lying, but, uh, you know, when you made the criminal referral, uh, it would, uh, they would say we can't comment on it because it's, uh, it's still under investigation.

You know, you can't make them understand, because, you know, maybe they're not as honest as I thought they were, or they just are going to be negatively impacted by it, because they had a lot of make-believe jobs, and they had to restructure practically the whole government and get these people out that were just getting paid for nothing. We'll find work for them. But, you know, I guess that would be a good enough reason to want to go with that, or stay with the old base.

How could they still want a communist-type government, the socialists call it, you can't say it's communist, but how could you still be on that line of thought? Back to you. The only good thing that I ever got from socialism is Medicare and Social Security and this Medicaid, I never had to use that. But even those that were good were being misused to a high degree. And I'm still waiting to see what other programs they had. It's better to have the federal government, how it's set up here in this country, I don't know about in Venezuela or Colombia, but the way it's supposed to work here most efficiently is that the federal government balances the budget, they have all the representatives in the House of Representatives and the Senate decide how the money's going to go, you know, to pass laws that the president signs, that they have these programs, and then everything else should be left up to state and local governments and businesses to start to fulfill the needs that the government isn't. So then you have free markets. If you start putting regulations on the businesses, you've got too much of the government where it's poking its nose, where it shouldn't be, and they should only do that to fulfill the will of the voters that elected them there, and not for any other reason.

She's definitely not a daughter I would want. I would just sit and foul her. Might even accuse her mother of cheating on me. That can't be my daughter. It's not even a laughing matter. But yeah, she has definitely a serious problem that needs to be dealt with. How to deal with it. I don't know. I suggested that there's a place like a home. An academy for teenagers that they're going to send her to. And they're making the paperwork out. And they're going to, you know, it's no cell phones. It's a lot of discipline. You have to be at breakfast, lunch, and dinner at a certain time. And if you don't, they put you in confinement. And they could sound like it's horrible. Now, I don't think the place actually exists. But she doesn't know that. And maybe that could be used. The thing is, you can't take enough away from her. She's already had everything taken away.

Yeah. I would think that you could tell you that, but I'm not sure you can tell.

OK, you got two. All star node six two zero two. Show the way you decide. I just thought I throw one out for you in case you are still undecided on what you wanted to use today. Yeah, because today is like some kind of goofy ass international oyster day or something like that. I heard about it on CTV news. I popped the door today. I knew that it went for a fair say. I've been this thing for years. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then your heart and places. VA three KK Y. Please create a KK right. Go here. OK, well, I'm going to be a one done. So I'm just going to make a quick transmission and then pretty much go back to bed because I'm still really, really, really tired. I didn't get to sleep until sometime 3 30 this morning. I was playing around with this new date and I bought yesterday morning has some good concentrate and pretty much most of that stuff anyways always just knocks me out. So yeah, a little bit and pretty much that was that I was reading a little bit watching CTV. Yesterday was a civic holiday in Canada. So nothing was open. It was a holiday Monday. I still work anyway. And yeah, on one of the segments yesterday on the six o'clock news, they announced that today it would be some kind of international oyster appreciation day or something like that. So I guess to quickly answer that question. I haven't had for a good number of years. My dad used to buy them. He stopped. I used to like muscles. But a lot of times it's like some dining cuisine item kind of thing. I haven't done that for a good number of years. I certainly like ball like with oysters. I certainly like them cook. Right. I mean, I know some people that can just eat them raw out of the shell. So I don't do that in particular. And most of those things are just highfalutin things. We don't really get. It's kind of like it's expensive. And then another thing is I think we used to get like some of those things from even Red Lobster. And we haven't eaten that for a billion years. You know, they sometimes call that lobster. It's kind of like the McDonald's seafood anyway. You can't eat that exactly like you go. You can't just see food even though they represent the good stuff. But just batter it with white powder or whatever. So other than most of that going up my nose, I don't think I have that. Red Lobster, white powder batter stuff too often. I don't know. They're just highfalutin things we don't really get. We're more of the pig liver, chicken liver type of thing. We get the cheap meat. You know what I mean? I mean, even me and myself, I like shrimp rolls and things like that. And we don't usually get that again. That's another highfalutin thing. I don't think they have special discounts at Metro Mart for oysters and things like that. So we don't get that really often. Alright, well, honestly I'm really just going to go back to bed. I wanted to make sure that that was okay. And I slept through yesterday. So I really didn't want to just pass another day without saying something to the vet. So I will say hi and bye. You take care. Have a good day. I'm leaving and someone will get the spot. Who wants it? And I'll turn it back to you. Well, it's good luck. Take care. Have a good Tuesday. And this is the first day back from Canadian holiday. Okay. BA3KKY. Back to you. Take care. Hey, I live in an area where, you know, seafood is all over a lot of seafood places. They usually serve them like in restaurants where they have bars also. Raw and half shell with red sauce which is just like ketchup. It makes it a little more strategy. I think I like the sauce more than I like, you know, the oysters. They're kind of soft and gooey. You know, and you got to put a lot of lemon on them also because, you know, if bacteria gets in it, you can get kind of sick from oysters. So I kind of steer clear of that unless they're really well cooked. So you wouldn't find me ordering raw oysters anymore. But it's a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. So it's, you know, beneficial in that respect to eat oysters. Now, I could see Campbell's soup I think had an oyster white sauce which was, they put one oyster in a whole can. And, you know, it would be like instead of using tomato sauce, you could use the oyster sauce over spaghetti. And I enjoyed that. Even, you know, like clam sauce. And then if they ever had the oyster one, I would take that which was usually, you know, the more expensive between, you know, whether you would choose the oyster, the clam or the, and you could get the clam in a red sauce too and white sauce. But the oyster was all white. Let's see, breaded oysters are pretty good. What are those, rocks and mountains and oysters? Those aren't really oysters. That's something else. I enjoyed that it's lobster season by the way over here. Coming up the 8th, they had the mini season. So there's a lot of lobsters around Florida. Spiny lobsters. There's a pot of polysaurus arcus spiny lobster. And it's also on action all night out tonight too. All over national, all over the United States. 884-H over on near Florida.

I'd go to A4A0, and then you get back to me. Yeah, I mentioned I like oysters. Just, you know, now I'm a little more cautious than I used to be because of the bacteria that can grow and that you can get so sick. They have actually fatalities from people who have ate oysters infected with the bacteria. And I think if they're out of the water for a certain period of time, the bacteria grows. So the longer it takes to eat them, the more bacteria accumulates on the tissues of the animal. They're wet by valves. Great, though, for nourishment. There's a lot of protein otherwise. And if they're cooked really good, the bacteria comes off of them and dies. So I guess you need to really boil them. And I've actually got oysters and got little pearls out of them. Doesn't necessarily have to be anything special for an oyster to form a pearl in it. In fact, I bit down on one, and I was really disappointed that I didn't get the pearl. It was too late. I crushed it. And I always regretted that. I wish I wouldn't have bit down so hard on it. Let's see. I have a oyster rolex day just, but that's not really what we're talking about. Let's say I can't remember much more about oysters that I could mention about a lot of other seafoods, that ones that are similar to oysters are clams. And I used to eat clams here in Florida because I used to have clams in Sheetshead Bay. So when I would get home sick for Brooklyn, I would go get some clams here. And that would help because it would remind me of Brooklyn.

And a lot of people paid the ultimate price for that and for the most part it worked for many, many years.

But right now, right now what I'm dealing with in my head is President Trump said he's a dictator. He said it from the beginning. So right now we're dealing with dictatorship. That's what he said he's going to run the country as. So I was looking up and so some socialist economies were run by dictators. So yes, it is possible that we're going to go through socialism. But we right now are going through dictatorship. President Trump wants the country to go. And that's why he's doing the things that he's doing. And it's not nothing that I'm saying he said, not me.

But I want to mention, I've never heard Trump say that he was a dictator. And I think if you, you know, unless you've actually heard it come right out of his mouth, I don't think he's ever said that. I could be wrong, but I'll tell you from what I know of him, I'm probably right when I say that it never happened. And the laws, federal law supersedes any state or local law, our forefathers put those laws there to stop the country from going into the direction it was going because they were running it into the ground. We were going into bankruptcy with our debts and the weird nonsense. And Valerie, or, to say, you know, that Trump's a dictator because he's enforcing the laws that the people that were letting this country go to hell, it's not dictatorship, he's running the country, utilizing the tools that he can use at his discretion. Dictators make up their own rules and laws. Trump is going by all the USC codes. He's got some very good people right now backing him up who understand the Constitution and are following the law. And those judges are making things up. Those oversight judges, they're not supposed to give opinions. They're not doing their job. And they're losing, of course, because when it goes to the, they're losing it even in a second court of appeals, a lot of the stuff. And it doesn't even have to go to the Supreme Court because they're not following the law on some of the oversight that they are claiming. Back to you, Russ. So I'm done with my comment. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. Okay. I know if you go ahead, Bill. Thank you, Russell. A couple of things up there. Yes, Trump did say that he would be a dictator one day and he was no baby drill. That's what he's referring to. Trump did say he would be dictator, but it was only be for one day. So he is not wrong in saying that Trump said that. She's just, you know, the news blew it out of proportion and said that he'd be dictator from day one. And he would be dictator when he was only referring to a dictator for one day. And he would open up America's resources in order to bring down fuel prices and to make America stronger economically in the fuel market. So you're both right and you're both a little bit off on what Trump said. So, yes, he did say it, but it was only for one day. So he did drill baby drill. And to bring clarification, we've been texting with Josh there. What it sounds like, Josh, because you said you were in your car. My wife and I experienced this. She'll be talking on the phone. She'll have her phone connected through the Bluetooth in the car. And she'll be carrying on a conversation as she turns off the car. And then halfway through the comment or the conversation, the car will disconnect the Bluetooth from the phone. So I'd be hearing her clear because she was coming through the audio system in the car. And then all of a sudden it would just be connected to the phone. And then, you know, her audio would get really low because the phone would be far away from her mouth rather than the microphone up by the top of the car that's designed to pick up conversation from someone sitting in the driver's seat. This is kind of what it sounded like over your last transmission. You were coming through and then all of a sudden it just kind of clipped over. And it sounded like you were far away, like you were coming through your phone's microphone. And then it gradually got louder. Not as loud as it was or as clear as it was when you were in the beginning. But then it, you know, went through that process. So that's what I was referring to, Josh, as far as your audio on your last transmission. Oops, got to grab one. All right. Oysters, yes, I've had oysters on the half shell. Not my favorite. But I have tried them, but I do like oysters. I like oysters too. There's a few other things I have had oysters in the tin. Kind of like sardines, but sardines with oysters and clams. Every now and then I'll grab some. But don't do a lot of oysters that way. Mostly I like them when they're a part of something bigger. But I know they're, you know, if cooked right or prepared right, oysters are supposed to be, you know, pretty good for you. But that's my contribution on oysters. Yeah, I did hear that Kevin was talking earlier about being some kind of national oyster day. So, Grand King on the list, Russell. I've got to get fuel here in about four miles.

Good morning, go ahead, Darryl. Hey, good morning, Russell. Uh, yep, I really don't like oysters. Um, I think they're the most disgusting thing on the planet. One of the most disgusting things. Uh, they're right up there with mussels. Mussels are... Man, I could throw up just thinking about them. I was in this Chinese food restaurant. It was an all-you-can-eat buffet type place, you know. They had American food, Chinese food, you know, the whole spread, right. You know, several different big long tables with, you know, all these big bins in them and stuff. Lots of food there. And so, tons of food to pick from, right. Started to sat down and I was eating my food. And all of a sudden, I hear this loud slurping noise coming from, like, just over, like, to the right of me. And here's this little Japanese guy with a mound of mussels, I'd say a foot tall on his plate. Giant pile of mussels. And he was cracking them shells open and just slurping them out. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Oh man. Disgusting. And, um, I'll never eat anything that you've got to crack open a shell to get a little bit of meat out of the center. Never. Not in a million years. And people love them. I don't know if any of you guys have ever had mussels or not, but, oh my God. I just can't take someone slurping out of the shells. Hey! I'll never know. I hope everybody's doing well. I am indeed. I slept like a rock last night. Went to sleep around 6 o'clock in the evening. I woke up around 1 in the morning and I went to bed because I'd fallen asleep on the couch. And I slept until about 20 minutes ago. So, not sleeping the night before wiped me out. And, uh, so yeah, I literally slept, oh my God, over 12 hours. I think about it, 6 in the morning, well 6 was 12, 39, 15 hours I slept. Other than that little interruption at like 1 in the morning, you know, when I woke up around 1 in the morning I guess. And, uh, got a little bite to eat and then I went into bed and went to sleep until just after 9. So, you gave me lots of sleep. Other than that, Russell, you can keep me on the list. I probably will, um, maybe not be here on the next go around because I have to go and do my morning thing. But, if you could, please keep me on the list anyway because I will be back.

couple of times and fill your plate with different things and one of the choices for muscles I usually grab a couple of them every time I eat at the restaurant there are a lot like clams another shellfish I like is conch it's a nice white meat and even better is abalone only that's a Pacific a species that's on the Pacific coasts and not really here so anytime abalone is available here it's imported and it's real expensive because it's coming from the other side of the country yes here in South America there abalone isn't that good I had it I was looking forward to it when I went to Chile and when I I got a hold of some I was disappointed it wasn't the same beautiful white flavor flesh that the abalone from the Pacific off the coast California has there are some cultures that don't like shellfish for the idea of what they eat their filter feeders so they they get particles or stuff off the bottom you know like lobster they eat everything and anything but the only bad thing about it is oysters do harbor that bacteria if the tips in there can make you sick but otherwise their nature's natural recyclers so you know in modern times we realized that it's not bad to eat because whatever they eat that's bad they only keep what's good that ends up in their tissues and everything else is eliminated so there's really nothing bad about it though there are people that even if it doesn't have anything to do with religious reasons you know they they won't eat lobsters or shellfish or anything because you know they witnessed what they'll and which is which just turned them completely off I never seen it I've been under order a lot of times observed them but the one particular person in particular who I knew really well won't eat shellfish at all they're not from a culture that considers that a sin or anything like that they just the whole idea of it but I think that they're pretty good at their job and they do it well there's nothing bad in there and anymore after they whatever they consumed so I don't need them anymore though anyways but when I get a for a child back to Russell and neck control this is repeater station kilo kilo seven to two located in Shelton Washington baby none in escape this is a case I have IRQ oh sorry I stayed up too late last night but the first thing I read this morning I say turn on the news I don't really actually turn on the news I read the news but uh any other thing I read this morning was that that New York City socialistic candidates that's gonna be on my mind a lot today I think I mean they're normalizing it once I gotta yell up my dogs and then such a good dog but yeah they're normalizing it this they're softening what it really is you know they're saying well fair housing yeah but who's a fair to the people who don't own the housing I mean that's that's it's really not fair to them either it's giving them a hand out rather than a hand up in my opinion but it's good the people actually own the property you know I don't get a good definition and the one that's normally used today is pretty broad and I don't like broadness I mean we need to be specific if there's different varying degrees of socialism but there may be names like left or right or for left or for that maybe that's what socialism needs socialism for socialism idiotic societal though you know I don't like the idea of socialism you know the biggest reason why I don't like socialism really boils down to the fact that it's a redistribution plan here we go so this is kind of what what definition I've come up with is that socialism is an economic and political system where the community or government owns and controls the main businesses and resources they do they take over people's private property whether it's a business whether it's property land they don't take your clothes you know they're not gonna take your TV not gonna take your gaming system or probably radios but I mean they are planning on taking your hand they plan on taking the guns they plan on taking your free dung the other round getting good at that anyhow my point being is that we're not talking about it enough I would like to talk to socialistic people to figure out what their viewpoints really are and what they really stand for it rather than just reading it but I don't know if I actually met a socialist anyhow just my viewpoint this morning I'll send

And on oysters, you know, when I was growing up, when I would come home from school and stuff like that, there would invariably be days where I would go visit my father at his work. And what he liked to do was I would get on a train in Port Washington Long Island, drive into the city, ride into the city, and then he would pick me up at Long Island railroad station or something like that. And he had a favorite place that he loved to go. And I wasn't very impressed with it. It's called the Oyster Bar. It's in Grand Central Station. And they actually cook oyster and oyster soup right in front of you in these special silver, I don't know what you call them, silver bowls that you would pump live steam into them. And they put in the milk, they put in the oysters, and they cook them up. And you know what, they weren't that bad. Now my wife loves oysters, really loves them. And will have them every chance she gets. I'm not a live oyster person, not really for me. I mean I certainly have them. They're not bad. It's just not my favorite. I like oysters Rockefeller, which is oysters and spinach and stuff. And they usually come stuffed in the oyster shell. And that's good. That's one of my favorite things for oysters. Let me drop it for one second. You guys are also talking about socialism. You know it's really easy to make an argument that the United States is already very socialist. Think about all the things that get shared. Our water systems, our highway system. We all share an army and a navy. And these are all, you know, could be elements, seen as elements of socialism. So security definitely is. So my defense of that is that that's the way government should work. It should be for other people, give the people a chance to make choices of democratic socialism. But share all the resources you can where it makes sense. Do it best. That's definitely socialism. Anyway, back to you Russell.

And a lot of people liked her because of that. You know, Catholic school girl, she knew all the, she had all of these connections because that's who she grew up with in private school. So, you know, she would always come up with a friend of hers that, but she wasn't anything like that. She went to public school. Burt Reynolds saw something in her, but I don't think that it was a good fit to begin with. Because she wasn't anything like that. It wasn't anything like that.

I don't think that was a relationship that should have ever been. And let's see the difference between like capitalism and socialism. Yeah, a lot of socialism is there. Some of it is by choice, like the nuns and brothers I had in Catholic school. You know, they submitted to that and lived in a socialistic environment where they shared everything. But, you know, they didn't have to become a nun. And communism, you get told what to do. You know, I know somebody who's a communist and they are really lazy. And the reason why they want is because they think they're going to get handed everything. They don't realize that if they get assigned a work order to do something, you know, they'll go to jail if they don't maybe even execute it. We have a lot of social programs, but they get looted so much and misused and abused. And that's where communism recognizes that socialism doesn't work. So they don't even have that because they don't want any kind of things going on that they easily lose control of. So I'm against socialism and communism and capitalism. Where private entities go and produce and supply and demand is motivated by production. Because these businesses are going to profit from it. And everybody is well off because they want to excel and get better.

So using my phone, not much longer, anyhow using my phone I know it picks up a lot of background noise. So I usually, that's why I normally ask about that to talk to you folks. I care about each and every one of y'all's ears. The social events used to be a heavy, heavy topic. Oh Hawaii, I mean I really don't, it's just another form of government. It's not even a party, it can be a party. In the United States it's being used and leveraged as a party. Although not outright, I mean other than the candidate in New York City, and Bernie Sanders and AOC who proclaimed to be socialists, but to face it they're not. They would have the title as a political party. It has a bad taste in the mouth of socialism. And that's because their fathers and grandfathers and great-grandfathers fought a different form of socialism back in those days. You see back in those days socialism was about true government control. Using the people as an economic workforce for the betterment of the government, not so much the people. And so that's what they fought. They fought a different kind of socialism. I mean we're talking about modern socialism today. Let's get definitions correct, at least I have to in my mind. That's kind of what I've been reading on and trying to figure out for myself. What is socialism? What is socialism today? How does it affect us? Is it already affecting us? Already socialistic policies being used. And those are the questions I need to address. That's how my brain works. So with that being said, something that I was reading that made a lot of sense to me was nations for the past 30 or 40 years. There are nations who are socialistic, big nations. We typically say China's communist, and they are, but their economic engine is really socialistic. A lot less communistic. You've got Vietnam. You have Sweden who used to be very socialistic. Venezuela, Cuba, Eastern Europe. And this is just a quick little study. In Sweden, they were very socialistic in their 70s and 80s. I bet you remember those years. I was born in the 80s, so I really don't remember much of that, but I'm sure I can read on it. But it was a socialistic model that they were running under on purpose, and the results were underwhelming. Economic stagnation, government debt ballooned, businesses fled. So in the 90s, they started reversing that. And they liberalized the markets and the economy bounced back. So there's an example that didn't go well. China, you know, all the way up to the past 20 years or 30 years or so, they didn't have an economic engine really. I mean, they had a lot of people, but their GDP was awful. Once they started privatizing our culture, that's whenever they started their shift. And that was back in, gosh, the late 70s or the 80s. And the payoff was massive. Massive, massive. However, Vietnam, in the late 60s and 70s, they took the rice fields, they took the way and nationalized a lot of industry, and adopted socialistic-oriented market economies, and they became self-sufficient food. And they even let, I think they still leave, the world and rice exports. So they're the model that seems to be working for that country. But Vietnam is very different than the United States. My point being with this is that the modern form of socialism that we need to be talking about is basically extreme liberalism in a sense. You know, let's take all the rent houses from all the people who have worked hard to build those suckers up. We're going to nationalize it, and we're going to set a governmental rent rate for everybody. Man, it sounds great on the outset. It sounds perfect on the outset. A lot of people are struggling with rent. I know firsthand how many people are struggling with rent. But is the way to fix it to give everybody a trophy just for participating in life? That's what it feels like to me. I know I'm kind of on a soapbox. I'm going to go ahead and get off. But socialism to me is the equivalent of real-life participation trophies. I just don't get it by now. And I would like to understand it if I am asking these questions.

It's my own cup, so not a lot of Coke leaked out of it. And that was happening right when you were calling. So, minor emergency. I gotta check to see if... not too bad. But, back on the road. And, yeah, some of the stuff that they were talking about doing in New York with the rents and stuff like that, I mean that was something that happened, I think back in the late 70s, where they had, you know, they were telling the landlords how much they could charge and the landlords saying, Alright, well we can't afford, if you're gonna not allow us to recoup our losses, we're not gonna have the extra money to be able to keep these places up. And then you had, you know, the some lords and people that owned these buildings that weren't collecting enough money to be able to keep up with the maintenance and the upkeep on the properties. So, that's gonna be a problem if they try it again. Maybe they got some other way of dealing with that. They're also talking about having the states take over their groceries and control the prices. But then, there's gonna be people that, you know, sell the food that aren't gonna be able to make enough money to cover their costs for getting the food. So, they're gonna end up, whoops, let me grab one. You know, they tried that, I think it was Minnesota or, they tried it somewhere, and they were basically grocery stores that had a lot of spoiled and rotten food, and they were grocery deserts, and people had to travel outside of the state-run supermarket area in order to be able to get decent food. So, I mean, it just seemed like we tend to go back and relive bad ideas, and then they realize that they're bad ideas, and then the people turn around and broke them out and put something else in that, you know, is hoping to take care of the situation. So, it's, we're gonna have to wait and see what happens this go around. If he does get an office and he does put forth and do what he's been saying that he wants to do, he's kind of backtracked on the whole, uh, defunding the police, because he realizes, and he's been getting big, taking big hits on that, that when you defund the police and get rid of the police, crime rises, and, you know, the people don't like that. So, he's backing off on that. We'll have to see what happens, but, yeah, they're starting to embrace him in the party, and then, you know, it's one of the problems that the Democratic Party is having right now, is they're embracing the radicals in their party, and it's, you know, working against them in the general, because a general, a majority of the population don't like the radicals on either side. So, when one side starts embracing the radicals of their party, their popularity goes down. So, until they start working their way back towards the center, I see problems, but I see problems for both sides. But, I can always say we'll wait and see, because time will tell.

Certainly not, you know, countries that call themselves communist. I wouldn't put North Korea as any kind of communist state. I mean, Russia, they didn't make it work. China, because they started embracing different principles, became a production success. I mean, China's right about that. You know, we're all living in hybrid countries, is the point I'm making here. And they are tending to be more socialistic. But we have to be careful about how we define that. Because is everything shared socialism? Maybe. Maybe it is. But I certainly know that as far as human services and things like that, we're becoming more and more socialistic. We're looking for a better plan for everybody. A more equal, a more sharing culture. That we're stumbling our way in that direction, I think. So will we be pure socialists? No. That whole concept is gone. These are just the way we do things. Actually, I would argue that we're more tribal than possibly we should be. But we're more tribal.

That's a good conversation today, and I agree with you. I think all forms of government are somewhat blended. I mean labels are trusted upon everything, right? I mean everything has a freaking label.

Grange Fish and Conchita Yoda kind of. We like to buy them every time. It's really super sweet. I'll have to ask her. Anyhow, two kinds of apples. Okay, they're apples. Yes, apples. I mean we can see that both kinds of apples. But they don't taste the same. They don't cook the same. They're different. Therefore they get a different label. We give labels to forms of government where they all are a little blizzard. I'm trying to taste my words. There's a lot of talking like I am. I think that's a true statement with you. I really can't find fault with that. However, just because you have some tendencies doesn't make you what that is. Another example, you could have a guy who's a psychopath. Extreme self-centered psychopath. He makes a dang good CEO of a company. Or it seems psychopaths could take a different route. He would become a dang good serial killer. He's a psychopath. Same thought process. Again, that's kind of an extreme conversation. But they're not the same. Vietnam's government, which excelled in rights production, was not the same as Switzerland's. The Koreans, I forget, all have been flirting. So someone's not thinking about it. It isn't the same as them who failed at it. The Israelis have definitely failed at socializing their entire existence, basically. That was interesting because that was done as a dictator. Rich, someone claiming Trump to be. However, he's not claiming to be socialistic, which would have been his easy ticket to becoming a dictator, I think. Again, those dictator tendencies.

You know, it's a sense of community, I think is what we need to talk about. Community. Is this a community of people? We don't have to be like life is, but is it a community of people? If we are a group, if we are a group of people who enjoy similar activities, we all know we like ham radio, or else we've written or studied and passed the same test. Some people like talking about some of the more controversial topics on here, some people don't. That's the beauty of ham radio, you don't have to pick part of a net that you don't like. Now, if people are just being ugly to you on that net, I think you should say something. I will first off tell anybody, if anybody is bullying you or being ugly to you, let me know. I don't have no power to ban them or anything. Let me know. I fight fire with fire. Rails raise, that's how most Texans are. So, yeah, I'm pretty mad about it.

Now I'll post it on Discord and Facebook just like Grey does, so you'll have a little bit of an advance. Why do you come to this net? What's your purpose for coming to California next? Seriously, why do you come here? What do you enjoy about it? What do you don't enjoy about it? What do you like? What do you don't like? And I would implore everybody to be brutally honest. We may not like the answers, but we can't fix it if we don't know it. Well, I cannot say that a lot. I can't read her mind after 23 years. I can finish her sentences, but I can't read her mind. She can't assume that I'm going to do something she thinks I'm going to do because we've been together for 23 years. We have to stop, we have to communicate, adjust fire, and move on.

Hi, thank you, Russell. Yeah, it's... And that's one of the issues that we've had over the years. We've had a lot of people come out, stay for a while, and then leave because of differing opinions. We've always tried to be open for anyone to come out here and express their thoughts, providing they do it in a civilized manner, where there's no name calling, no finger pointing, no appeasiveness. But unfortunately, we don't always get a chance to catch everything when it happens, or we don't always recognize it if it happens to someone else because something that may not affect us may affect someone else profoundly. But to lose someone as helpful and as important as Gabriella brings it to the forefront, because she was a positive force in the community here. And I know there are others that are positive forces that don't come out here in Pop 7, November, Quebec, November. The altogether should be good, because of some of the brutal honesty that gets espoused here. It's a rough balance to keep everything open and true to what we've started here, but also to make it so that everybody feels welcome. Because some people with differing views just don't feel welcome, unless the people that are out here are espousing the same views. We went through that just a little over a year ago. So I just remind everybody, of course, welcome to Grandma. I just remind everybody that before they speak, before they type, think about if someone's responding to them that way, how would they view it, how would they take it? And that's all we can do. If you're about to say something and you say, well, if somebody said that to me, I'd be upset with them, I'd be upset and say, the heck with it, and leave, then maybe don't say it. Think of a different way to say it. Think of a different tact, a different way of expressing it. And hopefully there's somebody out there that is listening that needs to hear that. And for those that don't or aren't out there at this time, maybe you'll get passed along. But I will pass it back to Russell. Can you find N.S.K. and I know of you?

I mean, she takes me on the website, she builds up the net hosting degrees, she keeps up with the, uh, oh, the list of call plans for Russell a lot of the times. Uh, yeah, she'll be missed. But, I mean, let's face facts here. Some of y'all know each other very well. Y'all been talking on the radio ten, fifteen years. Maybe longer in some cases. But how well do you really know that other person, even if y'all been talking on the air that long? I mean, do you know if people are more beat up by certain topics, or do you not know that? See, I don't know that about any of y'all. Not a darn one of y'all. Um, I have made some friends on here, uh, and to be funny, uh, honest, uh, not to be funny, but to be honest, my last thrill with it, because I don't like people in general. I'm not a people person. Uh, I would much rather just talk with dogs and listen. That's actually why I got my hand radio licensed to listen, for the most part, if I have the legal ability to talk if I wanted to. Yeah, I stumbled across this net. Of all the nets in the world, as they say, I had to stumble across this one. You know, and I like it. No, I really do love it. I bet I had my deals already last in a year. I don't get a lot of the nets. I have checked into a few of the nets on Do Drop In a few times. Um, but I'm not your typical hand radio guy. I'm new. So I want everybody to understand where this is coming from. Hand radio's dying. It's dying. I can't get my friends interested in it. I have really cool technical friends that can do all sorts of amazing things. They're not interested in the radio. And the reason why they always tell me that is because it's old fashioned. It is. I mean, this net is not so much old fashioned. I like listening to the world wide friendship net and nothing against it at all. I enjoy listening to it. I don't check in. I don't care about just checking in and saying I'm on the net. My days gone like this. Bye. And getting off. I like to talk and end on a conversation. I'm going to take a real quick break since the 73s. And this is KJ, right off the huge hill. I listen to it. I do enjoy listening to it. I listen to the other ones on Do Drop In network. I don't take part of a lot of them, but I want to change that. So I say all that so we can learn from mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes. Every company, every person, every government, everything makes mistakes for humans. So with that being said, is this somebody waiting on me? Or is it going to have to wait a few minutes? I got some people waiting on me. Wait a minute or two. But that being said, we don't know if Gabby was looking for a reason to leave or not. I don't think she was at all. But we don't know that. Or at least I don't know that. Maybe she felt like she had too much responsibility and needed it laid out. I understand that. I know people who do that. I'm not saying that's the case. But we just don't know each other long enough to make that determination in my mind. So again, we've got to really find a way to freshen it up. We're down to three quarters of a million licensed operators in the United States. And I've read that maybe a third of them are active. I mean, a gene pool, if you will, is dwindling. And it's because we have things like cell phones and all these other really cool technological things. AI, I've been scouring every day for new AI things in ham radio because that's cutting edge. That makes it fresh. That makes it cool. Just like it was cool back in the 70s and early 80s to get on TV. So that's where a lot of people became ham radio operators is because of how old that cutting edge technology was. We have to move on. We have to go up in ham radio 2.0. There's some YouTube thing on that. But I've never really watched it. I just recognize the name so we can't use that. But that's kind of what I like about this net. It's not your granddaddy's ham radio rag chew net. So I hope I didn't step on any hills in that. I always endeavor not to do that. But my point is still pretty valid. We have to adapt. We have to freshen ourselves up. We have to be inclusive. Very inclusive because we want more people to join this. Perhaps changing the format of the California net a little bit may help the matter. I know that controversial topics that we talk about isn't always the most favorited thing in our community. Three days and three days come the matter that's a pretty easy day to say I know controversial topics on these days. We're gonna keep it low key. So we're more inclusive. I don't know. I don't know if that's gonna be a bad idea. I just popped in my brain. I don't think Monday, Wednesday or Friday because you have me, Dell and Dre. And I don't think that we would enjoy not being able to talk about some of the things that go on in the world for real and not hidden in the world of ham radio. That's a long transmission. I will talk to you all hopefully tomorrow. KJ5, I'll see you back the next show. I think Russell, I just had to take a second to put some ice on my toes. And we, you know, we kind of had it split up. You know, we had it was pretty much every other day. Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays were more controversial than Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays were less controversial. And so it was kind of an every other day type thing there. But, you know, apparently there's such a way to get to the text box. It may not be over the year, but we came to the text box. There was always something going on. Well, we'll strive to do better and we'll keep our fingers crossed and wait for her to come back. Like Ray was saying, when she first got on the net, she was living in her caravan, her out on the border of California, Arizona, down there in that area. And all of a sudden she disappeared for a while. And then all of a sudden she came back and she had a place in Tennessee. So as her life changes and goes on, she might get the itch again and she'll come back, listen. She likes what she hears. She'll come back in and we'll do the better for her. And by the meantime, we'll carry on and fight, fight, fight. I had to throw that in there, Darryl. All right. And maybe Darryl is still listening. Seems how he's probably going to reconnect Michigan once we get down here. And we'll go from there. Of course, when he was complaining about people texting him in the middle of his transmission, I had to text him in the middle of his transmission just to rhythm. You know, because that cat, he needs his protein. And so it was a nice, it was a video of someone that had a burn inside the house and they were trying to get the bird to go out the window and he flipped something on the ground. All right, they're trying to get the bird to go out the open window over on the side. And just as they got the bird to go out, you could see a cat walking up in the background outside the window. And they were able to get the bird to exit the house via the window, but the cat was there and ready to catch the bird and the people that were inside that got the bird out felt really bad. Like, oh, great, we just saved this bird in order to be eaten by a cat. But, all right. So, yeah, just stay tuned. Worldwide Friendship Net coming on directly after this. Daryl will give you more info. He's up next. Daryl, you're up next. KV9NSK and 9OVU. Thank you, Russell, for doing the net. Back to you. Yep, you're up. We can find a conference. All right, thank you, Russell. And, yeah, just to elaborate, and I was paying more attention this last go around, we've lost people over the years, a lot of people, but we've had a lot of people join over the years. So it balances itself out, right? We get new people all the time, and we get people that are not happy with the net for one reason or another. It happens. In this particular case, Gabby will definitely be missed because I consider her a very good friend, and she's helped out a lot with the system, and that will definitely be missed as well. But there's obviously some reason, right? And if it's because of the actions of someone else out here, if there's been anything directed particularly in her direction, and I find out about that, I won't be too pleased. Let me tell you, if I hear anything myself directed toward anyone else out here that's intended to be rude or upsetting to that person, I won't deal with that very well. I'll deal with it quickly, but it won't be very pleasant. The thing that makes this net work is because you can say whatever you want. So restructuring and things like that, no, we're not going to do that. We're not going to do that at all because the reason people are drawn to this net, and I've heard it dozens and dozens and dozens of times over the years, the reason people like that is because it's not like any other net on the air, because you can talk about whatever you want, and that unfortunately upsets people sometimes. People hear things they don't like and whatever, but at the end of the day, I've heard things I don't like. People have called me an asshole over the years, and I say, yeah, you're right. When it comes to certain things, I definitely can be, but that's not going to hurt my feelings. You're not going to upset me. I know there's lots of people out here that don't like me, and there's a handful that I can't stand either, but they're not people that participate in this net. They're people that have got some serious problems, and we had to just distance ourselves from those problems or from those just narcissistic attitudes. Let me reset. So at the end of the day, it's sad. It's unfortunate. I hope she definitely gets back on the air because she's a very pleasant person and a very helpful person and just a good all-around person. But at the end of the day, we've lost people before, and the system does go on. Anybody who wants to join the group is more than welcome. Anyone who wants to leave the group is also more than welcome. So what it boils down to at the end of the day is choice. If you don't like what you hear, if the environment you're participating in doesn't bring you joy or happiness of some sort, then it's not worth participating in anyway. So not to downplay this net or any others, but if it's not the place for you, then it's not the place for you. We've said it over the years here numerous times. This net isn't for everyone. It is for anyone that does want to hang out, that does want to enjoy the company. And make new friends because we are a solid group. We've got group chats, we've got Discord. Most of us out here have all got each other's phone numbers. We chat offline or off-air about particular topics. We share memes and send photos and videos back and forth. We get to know each other for the most part on a friendship type level. But at the end of the day, let me reset again. At the end of the day, you don't know what anyone else is going through. Whether it's in their personal life, whether it's mentally, whether it's just you don't like a particular person or group. So everyone is free to make the choices that they make. And that of course is what contributes eventually to the type of person they are. I'm the type of person you can't really offend me. You can tell the dirtiest, nastiest, filthiest joke and it could be as racist as I'll get out. And if I find it funny, I'm going to laugh at it. And I don't care who thinks that I'm not a good person because I laugh at a joke about the Chinese or a joke about black people or a joke about gays or whatever. Because I laugh at that stuff, it doesn't make me a bad person. It doesn't make me racist or homophobic or any of that stuff. I mean comedy is comedy, right? At the end of the day, comedy is comedy. And I think people just need to be less sensitive. You know, some people just get really and they hold on to stuff and they're really upset about it or really upset by what someone said. And that's never a good thing because you're dwelling on that stuff and you just let it go, right? You'll be a lot happier if you just let it go. And I try not to dwell on things, but I got to tell you, I have been posting a lot of anti-Trump type stuff lately. I don't like the man. I think he's overstepped globally. When it comes to the global economy, he's hurting a lot of countries for no good reason. Trade was fine. Trade really was fine. And Trump is actually delusional. Let me reset one more time. I mean, the man criticizes bills and laws and things like that. And it turns out he blames it on Biden. But at the end of the day, the Biden economy, let's say that he's bitching about constantly. That wasn't the Biden economy. The last time Trump was in, he instituted economic policies that expire in 2025. So all the laws and financial things that were in place, they've been in place since Trump's previous presidency. He doesn't remember that he was the one who signed the original trade deal with Canada that he's all pissed off about now. That was unfair and this and that. Well, Trump, you signed that in your last presidency, but the man doesn't remember stuff. He doesn't have a good grasp on anything really mentally as far as I can see. I see a very, very dysfunctional president who basically turned the world on its ear under the guise of helping America, when in actuality, all he did was hurt America, hurt Canada, hurt the EU, and hurt everybody who does business relations with the United States. And he did it under threat. He did it under executive order. And he did it under force. So I don't like that. That's a dictator, in my opinion. If you've got to rule your country and take away democracy, that essentially executive orders took away democracy. They took away the ability for that thing, that instance, to be voted on. And he just said, no, the hell with the vote, the hell with the democracy. This is how it's going to be and I'm going to do it the way I'm going to do it. That's a dictator. We live in a democracy for a reason. Things are voted on. Things are considered by the government instead of just one person. And I think Trump is just so narcissistic that, I mean, he's sued any media outlet that's had anything negative to say about him. He's filed lawsuits. There's more lawsuits filed in this presidency, as far as I know, than any other that's ever been in history. I mean, it's crazy. The president of the United States is suing media organizations for doing nothing more than exercising their First Amendment rights. Not good, guys. Really not good. If Canada started doing that kind of stuff, we would literally oust a prime minister that was doing that kind of stuff very, very quickly. But for some reason, the American people allow this guy to stay in power and allow this guy to continue doing what he's doing and run reckless over the global economy. I don't get it. I don't get how a lot of Americans, and I know the majority, are against what he's doing. But it takes the rest of the people to realize and speak up against this madness. So that's just my take on the Trump stuff. And anybody that says, yeah, Trump lately is bothering me. When I see stories in the news, yeah, they bother me. They never used to because Canada wasn't involved. I always said before, outsider looking in, I don't have a horse in this race. Well, now I got a horse in this race, and that horse has to win because it's my country's economy that's under attack right now from Trump. And he says Canada is the worst country to deal with. Oh, we put in all these tariffs and all this kind of stuff. Trump, you started this, brother. Canada was perfectly fine. Let me reset one more time, guys. Canada was perfectly okay with when things go the way they were going. We weren't going to mess with the global economy whatsoever. But now we have to, you see? Because Trump has taken direct shots at my country. He's threatened to annex us. He's threatened to kill our economy. He's starting to make it so that Canada has no other choice but to come crawling to the United States. Trump has used terms like, I've gotten so much bullsh** last week, everybody's calling up to kiss my ass. Trust me, you orange goof. Nobody wants to kiss your ass. And he used that word. This is the American president. He used that word. And I was blown away because, trust me, nobody wants to kiss that old wrinkly clementine that you call an ass. They need to call you to try and rectify the damage that you've done. And that's the only reason you're getting any calls from any other countries about anything. Because people are sick of you messing with their economy internationally. And it's disgusting. Anyway guys, stick around for the worldwide friendship net after all that big spiel that I just had. Some of that stuff had to be said. And in regards to Gabby, she'll definitely be missed guys. There's no denying that. And we'll always be welcome back. So that's what it boils down to. And if the result of her leaving was because directly of something someone else said or she was pushed away by someone, I need to be made aware of that because that won't be tolerated. With that, I'm sure everybody have a great day.

I'll get you on Thursday. Okie doke, you have a great day. Alright, well, I'll say I'm next. So, I'll just say one more thing about Gabby. She's one of those exceptional people that you ask them to do you a favor. And it's always more. With her, it was always more. She did it much more neatly than I was expecting. She worked harder at it. So, it's good. It's good. And I do what becomes bad. Alright, guys. We got to move on here. And Peter, are you still out there? V-E-1-W-I-N. This is KC2-PKG.

But I don't need to know. I just don't like people that do that to other people. I think they're bullies in here. But it's not really like that. They shouldn't be allowed on it yet. They come to cause trouble. They should be banned right off the bat. That's my opinion on it. You know, they got to start acting like jackasses to people. But, you know. No. No. You shouldn't be a ham hopper. You're never going to be like that to people. You shouldn't even be in the hobby. That's my opinion. And, uh, great enough today. Lots of conversation anyway. So, with that, back to you, Greg. Catch y'all maybe tomorrow. I won't be, uh. No, I won't be available no more. I got to go to a club meeting. Catch y'all later. Back to you, Greg. See you later.

Oh Larry's computer. Yeah. KDA RER. Anyway, I don't usually put anything up. I'll watch. I might watch occasional video but I usually wait until after the next so I don't open up any other programs except for maybe a website. But nothing with audio because that will cut things down. Anyway. Yeah I'll just be working on, working on songs for my audition tomorrow. And I gotta call my chiropractor's office and get an earlier appointment tomorrow so that I'm not rushed for time tomorrow night and dinner time. I gotta go to the south side for my audition with this band. And after 7, well after 7.30, quarter to 8, there we go. Anyway, hey I got a question for somebody out there. The four corners where there's four states meet all in one spot, is there anything there that's kind of a marker or a recognition of it where you can step into four states all within say 10 feet of each other kind of thing?

Everybody in that, Gil in Las Vegas. And I think there is a bill. I'm pretty sure that there is a marker out there. Yeah, you're kind of standing in the middle there. So there you go. I've never been there. Place I do want to go to. And Larry, yeah, I don't know. Let's put that, you never know. That is what it is. But no biking today, yesterday, maybe not tomorrow, maybe not all this week. We've got some heavy smoke coming in from California. Wildfires. So not something you want to be out there breathing at a high cardio value. So I'm going to be off the bike maybe for a few days. Actually, I might take it in for a tune up. So yeah, we'll see how that goes. And last, what I got, hey, I'm doing a lazy day today. I'm going to meet my one friend for breakfast. He retired last week from the casino business after 40 years, like me. So there you go. And last up, Lake Mead. One of my places to do videos and stuff was out at Lake Mead and finding all the wrecked boats. And I really enjoyed that. That was a lot of fun. And I was gearing up to get out there and do a follow up because the water went back up for a little while. Now it's down again at a critical level. So a lot of these boats are coming back out of the water. Unfortunately, the Park Service thinks they're an eyesore, even though they're actually a huge tourist attraction. They're cleaning them up. The infamous monolith boat that I did a video on, the boat that was standing straight up in the air, half in the mud, it went back underwater last year. It came out about 3 quarters of the way this year, maybe as much as half. And it was several feet into the mud, the engines and all that. And some people went out there to check it out and these sonar, there's just a big hole under there. So the Park Service pulled that one out. That's a real bummer. So by the time I'm ready to get out there, there may be nothing left to explore as far as the wrecks go. Yeah, such a bummer. That was such a cool thing to do. So anyway, I guess they just thought it was an eyesore. Yeah, I'm here in the background. Good to hear that Gail is showing us. Oh, and Missy is online now. She just linked up, so you may want to put her on the list there.

Doing fine here. I had a great day, part of the day yesterday out at the hangar and I got the cylinder heads all ready for the students. When they come in they can start the reassembly and get that engine, 100-year-old engine put back together again and it should look really sharp. I just wanted to mention to Joe I really enjoyed your video of this abandoned town in Pennsylvania and these homes as you look at them, as you're touring through them, must have been very fancy back at a time to see these elements of how they were constructed, most of them to story. But really fascinated. I didn't see any graffiti which was very amazing. It did look like a lot of things were left behind and kind of strewn around but it didn't seem like vandalism, holes in the walls and things like that, just a natural deterioration. I was kind of surprised all the ceiling fans were kind of bent downward in just about every shot that you had there. So I'm kind of interested in the owner, I guess the owner walked up and how they became to own that property and what's going to happen with it. It looks like it could be restored but an awful lot of work to do that. But what an interesting video, thank you for that. And I would like to jump in, I have been to four corners and yes there is a kind of a large concrete X in the ground there that has each state labeled and you can stand at the apex of all four of those coming together. So I thought I'd just mention that. So that's it for me today, K60KR, back to that. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. OK, thank you very much, thank you for answering Bill's questions. KB2RQQ, good morning Robert and Hal is copy today. K0Eck. Well thank you for asking, she's doing just fine. Her daughter is, as we speak, under the knife in Charleston. She is having a very rare procedure done which involves inserting a tube through her neck and up to her brain around her temple area. And she's been getting terrible, terrible, terrible headaches and it's all because of a little tumor on one of her nerve cells. So it's an unusual surgery but it's an outpatient surgery of all things. So prayers are appreciated for Heather. Anyway, yeah I've been locked away in an underground bunker for quite a while now. The weather has been, oh let's see, not agreeing very well. It's partly sunny but it's going to be mostly cloudy and thunderstorms today, thunderstorms tomorrow, thunderstorms the next day, thunderstorms every day for the next seven days. And tonight they're predicting 100% chance of darkness. But we'll see what happens. I can't tell inside this bunker. I just have a couple of little light bulbs and every once in a while Kathy puts dinner under the door. It's just me and the dog chained up to the wall. Anyway, I'm not going to get into too much detail but if anybody can find out my location, send the cops immediately. Please. Anyway, this is KB2RQQ.

J0ECK. Well, good morning to you, Gail, and hello to Hank as well. I hope you guys are doing good. Oh, on the gaming side of things, everything is working really well. Contemplating starting a new game. Super Mega Baseball 4. Haven't played a baseball game in... My God, it must be 20 years. Literally. The last baseball game I played, I think it was on PlayStation 2. Back in the day, and they're on PlayStation 5 now, so I mean, it's definitely 20 years ago for sure. And this one looks really good, and it's only $6. So, that's a buy. On Steam right now, it's on for 75% off. It's normally $45 or $50. So, being on for $6 right now makes it a very enticing game. And it looks like it's going to be a very good game. And it looks like it's not one of those newer type games where you've got to buy every little thing inside the game with real money. I hate those experiences. Like, I'm out the line of thinking, if you buy a video game, it should come with... Everything that's included should come with it. Not, oh, you've got to pay $5 extra for this, or $20 extra for this. And, you know, I'm all for companies making new downloadable content for video games. But if they're going to charge you extra for it above, like, the base price of the game, nah, not interested. Really not interested. It's just not my kind of thing at all. I feel if you buy something, you should get whatever's included. And a lot of companies are doing this at this day and age. You know, if you buy a Tesla, you go out and you spend $50,000 or $60,000 or $70,000 or $80,000 or $100,000 on a Tesla. Do you know you've got to spend an additional $10,000 to get the self-driving features? I think Audi had a thing there a couple of years ago where it was a paid upgrade for the heated seats. Like, the gear was all in the seats to heat them and cool them. But you didn't get that when you bought the car. It was a software update and they didn't have to physically do anything to the car. They just downloaded an update once you paid the money and you got heated seats. I think that we shouldn't allow companies to micromanage every little aspect of things. If you're going to sell a product, sell the product with everything that product, you know, needs. Or if it has technology in it, turn it on. You know, don't charge people an extra $10,000 Tesla for the self-driving feature. All the sensors are in the car to be able to do it when you buy it, but yet they want to charge you an extra $10,000 to make it happen. Nah, I don't agree with that one bit. That's raking your customers over to Kohl's and I definitely don't agree with it. But this Super Mega Baseball game doesn't have any of that stuff. All the additional maps are all free. All the different stadiums and players and customizations, all of it is free. Which I'm very, very open to. Especially for $6. I mean, and it would be even cheaper in the States. It's probably like $3.99 in the States right now. So anybody that's into gaming, especially if you're doing it on a PC, there's some incredibly good deals out there on PC games when it comes to Steam and when it comes to the Epic Games Store. I mean, Epic gives away a new free game every week. They just give it to you. Add it to your account, click, don't play it now, play it later, whatever. I mostly use Steam, but I do use Epic for their free games. I do win there once a week and click Add to Library on the free games because you never know when you'll be able to play those. It's always nice to have choices. Other than that, everything's going well up here. I hope everybody's having a good day. I'll go ahead and pass it back to you, Gail. And happy Tuesday to everybody on board.

There's not a lot going on here today, and sorry about the Echo room, but I had to go on the other room for a minute. Anyway, the blow-up boomer was doing really good. My feet are numb. My son had a semi-big overall back. He doesn't know, but they don't make the size that I want in the legs. So he's going to end up getting another set of thirties back. Oh, well. It happens then it gets better. Not a lot going on here. That we discussed on breakfast here, the drive-in teenagers. My biggest memory is, in that respect, was watching Trish Cadou and Barbarella in the same drive-in theatre. And I got this chance to see a shuttle from underneath, from the Roseburg one, years and years and years and years and years and years ago. Let's see, I think I'm running out of things to say, so we're going to give it back to that AE7 MR. Thank you for bringing them in, because you can't pick me up. I'll pack a 7-micro-mil back to that.

We had a storm yesterday, quite a windy storm. Very windy, 80 mile per hour winds. Heavy rain on and off as well. But today, still a little windy, but not quite as bad as yesterday. And the sun's made a bit of an appearance here and there as well. And we're still quite okay temperature wise. We're about 18, 19 degrees Celsius. So can't really grumble. And thankfully, no damage here from the storm either. No damage to the antennas or anything like that. So I'm very glad. And houses nearby seem to be a little bit off here as well. Not as bad as the storm we had in the winter, thankfully there. And I've just came out the stairs and I've sneaked onto FT8. And the 20 meter band is doing not too bad at all there, Gail. So I'm giving that a little shot while I get the chance. And oh yes, I made a purchase the other day as well. I've bought, on pre-order, an FT1X, a Yesu FT1X. So I've looked forward to getting that. I have no idea where I will be in it. I know there is a waiting list, but I watched all the videos and I thought, why not, you'll arrive once. So that's my little treat to myself there.

I just came out with a new song called My Linda Lee. It's a teacher because I like to give heads up on that one. It's a massive teacher who made me cry when I wrote it. I was an emotional wreck that day because I was the day they came to see me for 30 minutes. I hadn't seen her for two weeks. It was so cute. She gave me so many kisses and stuff. It was adorable. And then they had to leave. And it was like, no, don't take my baby from me that quick. So I wrote a really emotional song about it and put it out last night. But here's the interesting thing. And that is, I just got told that there's a talent show coming up here. In my rehab center on the 19th of August. And one of the staff is like, you should enter. And I'm like, I don't know. Maybe. Sure. OK. Why not? So I'm going to enter. But what's wrong? Do I answer? That's the question of the day. So I'd like thoughts on that one anyway.

We were coming up from Las Vegas or somewhere down south and we got pretty close to Four Corners. We stopped at a restaurant and they had a code talker's little museum set up there. So that was a bit of a get over that way. Probably 50, 60 miles west of the Four Corners. We actually made a slide trip just to go over to see it. So we went over there and I can't remember, there's a big, I don't know if it's concrete or grass or what it is. There's a thing in the ground probably 10 feet across and yeah, you can stand there in the middle of it. You're basically on all Four Corners. They were selling, they had like a half a dozen little booths, they were selling trinkets and t-shirts and stuff. So somewhere in my closet I've got a t-shirt from the Four Corners. And I've heard that maybe if you get a GPS, I think maybe it's not exactly, they didn't put it exactly where it was supposed to be. But that's where it's celebrated at. So yeah, if you get a chance, it's there. But for us it was a little slide trip there. But yeah, stop at that restaurant and check out the code talker's little museum there west of Four Corners.

So see if I said the Mogo Bismarck, something like that. I used to race real close here. I didn't race those big races. Other ones I did, actually, but that was a long time ago. But anyway, and they should put a plaque up there, something because it's in the movies and stuff. And one of those movies was with Costner in American Fire. Also rode through there, and that was his first movie and stuff. And then there's a racetrack that used to be there at Coal Creek and just closed off for quite a while. And one great person died out of it. It had a very steep spot to fall through and stuff. But anyway, I can remember trying to race there, and it was still snowing. It's still snowing. I go, I don't care. I'm going. So I did a very wet snow race that got into my electric, so it dropped on that one. But anyway, but they had put a trail now, just a regular trail and stuff, and it's really neat. And it has a, on top of it, it has a steel shelter or something like that, where they used to do the paperwork and stuff, and it's still there. So I was so excited to see that go through. Burtford Motorcross last time, it's been about almost five years ago where houses took it over. You know, they get, they're in the middle of nowhere, and then the track's there, and then they're complaining because they put their house there. You know how that goes. So anyhow, so that's, but anyway, like I said, Coal Creek, I'd like to get somewhere and put something up where people, you know, where it's kind of cool in the background, or in the past. OK. So, and I'm doing a normal thing, Poda soda, and how much time I got? Poda soda and the Libra. So I got a thing that checks my blood sugar, and it failed, and I used to turn that off because it'd wake me up in the middle of the night real late. And trying to get that is hard to do right now.

Nope, but I sure do have it for lunch and dinner. I had a McGriddle this morning, but I don't know about things down there, but hopefully it's not as hot down there as it is up here in Paris, Texas. I know results may vary in different parts of Texas, but hey, at least I'm not living in El Paso like I was when I was younger. All I remember was it was really, really hot and desert-like. So, not too much else going on here. Just better run a few errands a little later today, and I checked into the YL system before I came over here. So, back to you and get to check in with you on your hour here this morning. Whiskey, Bravo 9, Chicago style pizza. Okay, thank you very much. Okay, that's the bottom of my list. Anybody else want to check in to the World Wide Friendship Net? Please call.

So I'm trying. Check out my Linda Lee. The song that just came out last night. Oh, man. I want to play it, but I can't play it right now. I'd probably start crying, I swear. It's so emotional and it's funny because it wouldn't have happened if Linda hadn't done what she did. It was the sweetest, most beautiful thing and moment in my life. And it sparked a good song in my mind, but I didn't know it would come out that good. And then I started singing it the other night and started crying. I'm just like, oh my god. So yeah, it's a good tearjerker. So everybody check it out. At the moment, it's on YouTube and Amazon. And probably later today, it'll be on Spotify, I think.

Let's see, happy Tuesday, everyone. I'm in the middle of a project in the home office, but getting everything out of the office so that we can take the popcorn ceiling down and get the walls painted. And then I've got some new desks and new cabinets put back in there, so kind of a little office remodel, which is kind of part two of, you know, we had done that earlier in the front room, in the hallway, in the kitchen and stuff. So that's what we got going on now. And then looking forward to this weekend, the rain or shine net over at Green Lake, the ice cream social should be a ton of fun. So thanks for using that, Bill. 7-3, everyone. K-9, B-D-C. All right, thank you, Brooks. Yeah, fun with that remodel. Boy, the popcorn ceiling. I remember that in a previous house many, many years ago. We'd been here for a long time. Had popcorn ceilings that we did not like, got rid of. And boy, it sure made it look better and more up with the times, more than anything. So have fun with it and enjoy the freeway. WA-7AD. Good morning, Michael. Good morning to you, Bill. This is Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. Michael just near downtown Kirkland. And hello to everybody listening on the net. It looks like it's going to be a lovely day here, Bill. It's about 60, 61 already. Mostly clear skies. This looks lovely out. I got a few little errands I'm going to do in the morning. And I'm going to start packing for the Bigfoot 200. And I leave there Friday morning. We camped out for four or five nights, I think it is, in the mountains with our radio here helping communicate. So that's all that's going on here. Thanks for on the net. You sound great, as usual. Everybody have a safe day. And remember, it's a good day to have a good day. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. All right. Well, you have a good day also. Safe day. And enjoy your coffee. And let's see. You said 61, 54 in Clearview already. And it's supposed to get up to 74, I noticed, on the forecast. So kind of a mild day, but a pretty one. And the sun is shining. And when I looked at the weather forecast last evening, there was rain coming. We need some rain. All right. Thank you, Michael. V01 UKZ. Good morning, Daryl. Good morning to you, Bill. And hello to Gail in there earlier. Just saw a correction on Gail's call sign. It's K0 ECK, I do believe. Unless I'm mistaken. Kilo zero, equi-terally kilo. But either way, I hope you're having a good day. Hope everybody out there is having a good day. We got a beautiful one up here, man. It's a nice, cool 70 degrees. Well, cool or warm, whatever way you want to look at it. Here in Newfoundland, it's rather warm. You know, for the summer, we've been having it anyway. Temperatures have been way down. Even after the icebergs pulled offshore or melted or whatever they do, the temperatures just didn't get much warmer than 70 degrees. So we had yesterday as well, I believe, 70 or 71. But it's been nice and sunny. We've got a couple of massive wildfires burning on the island here right now, which is never good. When that happens, we got smoke into the city here and a couple of big ones going in Conception Bay North. We had a fire ban on here for the last month or two. And the province lifted the fire ban for the weekend. And now all of a sudden, we've got a whole bunch of wildfire, or two big wildfires going here. So hopefully, they don't cause any deaths. That's always the worst. Property can be replaced. But when it comes to human lives, that's not something you can take for granted. Anyhow, you have a great day. Everybody on board. Same from here on the rock. This is E01, UKZ. All right. Thank you, Dale. And yeah, these wildfires are, well, they're dangerous, first off. And it's a shame that we have to deal with them. But on the other hand, I guess they're part of nature. And it's forests and brush land renewing itself. But boy, it can cause a lot of damage if they're not under control. And we got a bunch of them here in the Northwest. Nothing anywhere near us but near Dave, who is next up here. And so anyway, thank you, Darrell. This is W7PAS with the 9 o'clock net, KD7. Pop up whiskey, bravo. Morning, Dave. Well, good morning, Bill. And to everybody on the net, hi to Darrell. They're on the rock. And boy, yeah, I can definitely identify with wildfires. The last time we had was way, way too close, especially with bombers like right over the top of the house. So there you go. Anyway, I got a beautiful day shaping up here in the high desert. We're going to hit about 82 today, and just gorgeous. Sunny and nice and warm. Oh, man, looking forward to a nice day. Got a little shopping to do, but and then it's into the wood shop. And I've been getting a couple of neat pieces of landscape Jasper on the rock saw, so that's been kind of fun. And so while it's doing its thing, I can be working on guitars. Yeah, kind of a combination of all kinds of stuff going on in the shop today. So with that, I will say 73s and get at it. So all the chores of the day. Well, 73s, thanks for doing the net, Bill. Hi to Karen there, of course. And we will catch you later. K87, Pop up whiskey, bravo, Dave, the high desert pirate radio. All right, thank you, Dave. And yeah, those fires are getting pretty close to you. I was looking at the fire map yesterday or day before. And that one that's, oh, let's see, where was it? East of you, a ways, looked like it was getting close. All right, thank you, Dave. And hi to Sam. All right, this is the 9 o'clock map for a Tuesday morning. More check-ins, please. K87, PDZ.

It's only 62, and uh, it's a little kind of thin, thin layer of clouds, and so we're supposed to have rain tomorrow. So we'll see how that goes. We can certainly use it here. We're like 20% blown, or 80%, we only have 20% of the rainfall we're supposed to have for most of the summer, so it's really super dry over here. And so we'd love that, and kind of get some of these fires under control. Plus, we had a rash this morning, or overnight, of some arson fires in the Spokane area. So, uh, anyway, that's, uh, yeah, I wish it would rain hard, weigh everything down. Uh, other than that, not much going on. Today I don't think we're going to get any water. Today is a little, uh, really windy out there, and so it's not going to warm up much today, I don't think. So, anyway, that's all. I just wanted to get in here and say good morning, and uh, we'll talk to everybody later. This is Jim and Jane at Deer Lake, K7, PDZ. Alright, thank you Jim, and Jim and Jane at Deer Lake. Well, you said it's 62 there, and uh, I just looked, and it's uh, 60, uh, 62 here right at the moment. And, for some reason, my weather thing went to Lake Stevens, which is not that far north of us, but they're two degrees warmer. Interesting. Alright, yeah, these fires get over your way for sure, and I know there's a big fire at the, uh, kind of the north end of Lake Chelan, that's probably laying smoke down all over the place. Um, we drove up to Anacortes on Sunday, and they had a bird festival, which was really cool. But anyway, we drove up there on the way back, uh, clear skies here, but very definitely smoke up over the Cascades. This is the station Kilo Kilo 7 November, Quebec, November. All-Star Note 62.2, located at Chelsea. Alright, thank you Jim. AI6XD, good morning. Thank you, AI6XD here. Uh, yeah, it's a beautiful day down here in Burien. I'm just wrapping up a test that I've been doing over the last week with my HF radio. I've got a multiband antenna set up in my backyard, and I've had a time-lapse camera pointed at the radio, uh, so I can sort of see what time of day each of the bands are good, and, uh, my takeaway is 7pm. So I thought that was very interesting. Thank you, AI6XD. Alright. Boy, there's just so many cool things to play with on the computer and on your phone. Um, yeah, I enjoy that. There's some pretty useful things. Plus I read a lot of, uh, and I check e-books out from the library and read them on my laptop or on my phone. Alright, this is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning. Over to Scotland. M-M-0-R-K-N. Good morning. M-M-0-R-K-N. We're coming. Yeah, very good morning to everybody on the net. And, yes, thanks for saying good morning. It's almost evening here in Scotland. And quite a busy day today. I've been working today and watching my son, who's nine years old. He's thankfully coming to the end of his school holidays, uh, within the next week and a half, so he's definitely leaving back to the routine, as am I. But, um, we had a bit of a storm yesterday, and thankfully the storm didn't cause any damage, but we did have strong winds and heavy rain in Scotland and across the UK yesterday. And, um, it caused quite a lot of travel disruption. Most of the trains, ferries and buses and all that sort of thing were cancelled. But thankfully things are getting back to normal today. Still a little bit windy, but still 18 degrees Celsius. And thankfully not much rain today, so not a lot to complain about, so that's always good here. Anyway, thanks to net control for letting me check in. This is Mike, Mike-0, Romeo, Kilo, November, depending on your back to net control. Alright, thank you. And, uh, yeah, thank you for joining us. I believe you've been here before, and it's always great to hear from you. Well, plans change, don't they? Uh, get, uh, all the, everything planned, ready to go, and then some, some, something comes along, and, uh, all of a sudden you're rewriting the schedule, or, yeah, rewriting chores or whatever.

I'm still on vacation, so I'm going back to work on Friday. And so I think that's a good day to go back. And then just kinda, we have these things called no meetings Fridays. So I don't have any meetings, and I can just kinda focus on catching up on things before Monday starts the next week, and then it really gets going again. And then tree becomes crazy again.

Alright, thank you, Trade. I don't know, having to go back on a Friday, it kinda seems like a disruption on the vacation.

So we'll take care of that. Oh, Bill, I'm still checking in on my saw blade antenna that I slapped at last night for the evening net, and it's working great, so it just goes to show you can make an antenna out of almost anything. Anyway, it's all fun stuff. Back to you, K3OE. Okay, thank you, Reg. Yeah, I think you're right. You can make an antenna out of almost anything. Anything to get the RF out of the radio and into the ether. And you can do okay. Get a little higher power, you got some concerns about RF getting, you personally, and that's not a good thing. But at these power levels, that's not a concern, really. So, yeah. I'm tuned to antenna. We'll get you a lot further. All right, thank you, Reg. But you don't need to do that for this. Thank you.

I have two hunches about cutting off at the front there. You're referring to something I had a problem with before where there was a setting on the phone, I think you are, that is used in some networks. It's kind of like a PL tone, it just kind of establishes that there's a transmission or a connection going on here. I don't think it's that. I thought I had noticed this a couple of times since I installed my new J-pol, which has a big old DX engineering coax out there. When I key up shortly thereafter is when my automatic fan comes on, on my Yeizu FT8900. And so I wonder if it's just taken a minute to like get the electricity, I mean a moment of course, and I don't know if something is exaggerating the delay before my signal is like fully activated, getting out through the new antenna with the heavy duty coax. That's the first antenna and or transmission issue on my head. And the other thing, someone brought up the idea of making your own antennas, which I am working on making a fan dipole. I got a one to one ballon and I got some wire and I'm going to be doing, I don't have an antenna analyzer, so I might have to wait, but I'm planning to set up a 10 meter and 6 meter dipole on my balcony, fourth floor, facing south. My hope is to hit other communities further on down the coast eventually with 6 or 10 meters, because I just have this little portable 4 band. Anyway, that's it, KI7RYW, thanks for the net, hello to everyone, good to hear the reports, KI7RYW. Alright, thank you, thank you for those comments. Well, first off, a fan dipole on 6 and 10 should give you all kinds of things. And 10 has been, not in the last couple of weeks, well that's not true, it's starting to pick up again. 10 has been very active, I guess 6 has also, although I don't pay much attention to 6. And so you should have some good contacts across the country, not just down the coast, but across the country and even across the oceans both directions. Japan loves to talk to the US for one thing. Anyway, you'll have a lot of fun with that, that's good. And the delay is, there's no delay involved in getting, well not discernible, involved in getting a signal off coax and into an antenna. That's got to be a setting on the radio somehow, or the radio doing something, because when you push the mic button you've got power. So, I don't know, I wish I could remember what that was called. Anyway, maybe somebody else will. And thank you, thank you. This is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning.

Alright, uh, M3, O-M-O, good morning, Elaine. Good morning to you. It's a beautiful hot day here. Um, we're gonna be close to 100 again. And, um, that makes it very, very warm. Although some of the cats don't mind and they're still out on the screen porch. We've got the door cracked open so they can come in when they want to. So, um, they're quite happy. No similar inside though. Um, I had a strange experience last night. Um, yesterday, I received a letter from my bank stating that, um, it was tied to my yearly charge of $20 for my, um, of safety closet box. And I don't even remember getting a safety closet box. So we went to the bank yesterday and sure enough, I did take one out a year ago in July 26th. They had the papers and yes, it was my signature, but I couldn't find my keys. And she said, well, we gave you a red envelope and showed me what it looked like with two keys in it. And I said, well, I don't know what you do. She said, well, go home and look for your keys. Cause if you can't find them, there is a $300 charge to the keys. So we got in the car and I turned to my higher power and I said, okay, please show me where those keys are. So we went back home and actually in the car, I had my eyes closed and in my mind side, I saw the red envelope in my jewelry box. So I came home, went directly to the jewelry box and guess what? That's where it was. I was so grateful and so thankful. And I screamed for my brother, Rob, and I said, come here, I found them. And there they were right where I saw it in my mind's eye. That was just unbelievable. So we're going to go back today and return the keys and see if I have anything in the box. I don't even know. So if anybody has a safety closet box, make sure you know where your keys are. So anyway, back to you. Have a great day. This is November 3, ask Mike Oskar. Alright, thank you Elaine. I used to have a safety closet box a long time ago. My dad always did. That's why I did, I guess. But I couldn't figure out anything worthwhile putting in it. So I finally cancelled that and have a fire safe lock box that I keep papers in. Anyway, that's a lot more accessible, although the same key problem exists. Alright, thank you Elaine. And the KJ7WQI. Good morning, ma'am. Good morning, Bill. It's afternoon over here on the East Coast. Just flew from San Antonio up to Washington, D.C. And we're a little bit delayed heading up to Boston next. We're going to be boarding in the next like 10 minutes or so. We're delayed for haze and smoke in the Boston area. The Canadian wildfires have officially started to drift over towards the East Coast and towards Boston. I'm sure the air quality is going to be a little bit lower. But yeah, I get home relatively early today. One more flight, a little over an hour in flight between here and Boston. And then I'll be home and able to relax. So I'll throw it back to you. Thanks for running in that, Bill. Everybody have a good one. KJ7WQI. Alright, thank you, Matt. And thank you for checking in from the airport. Glad you weren't boarding yet. So smoke drifting in from Canada. I think we have some of that here also, but we're generating our own fires too. Alright, and once you get through all of that, I'll get home. And home is always a great goal, isn't it? I think about that one. I look at the freeway at rush hour. Everybody is headed home. And that's where you go. That's where comfort is. Alright, thank you, ma'am. This is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning. This is W7VAS for Jenkins, please. Kilo Indigo 7 Romeo Yankee Whiskey David with a recheck. Alright, yeah, David, go ahead. Okay, thank you. I have two things here. I'm looking into the CTCSS on the computer to figure out why it might delay. It's not really a PL tone, but there might be something similar. Also, I'm not sure maybe you or someone can clarify, please. When you transmit and the repeater transmits out, and then you finish and I can hear you unkey, there's another moment of, it sounds like the channel is being used. The channel frequency is active if not carrying a strong signal. So am I supposed to wait until that drops, which can be a few seconds? Or should I, this delay that we're emphasizing now to make this effective, even if I have a setting I need to update, should I key and then delay? And so I've been trying to do a combination of both. That's the one. The other thing for our new friend from Rockaway, New York, I heard you mention the 9 a.m. net and the 9 p.m. net, and now for a few years we've been having a noon o'clock net every day. And that's, I think, we're hundreds and hundreds for a few years now, consecutive. And so just to pass on a little bit further, emphasize what you were saying. It's a strong community of people just checking in, saying hi, coming and going, and updating on useful information here and there. So that's kind of a question, or sharing my exploration points on the radio transmit issue, and then also emphasizing the value of the community. Thank you for running the net today and everyone else who regularly for years and years and years, decades now for the 9 o'clocks and years now for the 12 o'clock noon net. And then we do the weekends, of course, like this coming weekend onsite, kind of get-togethers for the noon net. Alright, that's going to be it, KI7 RYW. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. Alright, thank you David. And, yeah, well I was talking about the 9 o'clock net history of the 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. But yes, you're right, the noon net that Jack started and I guess still runs, and that's the same concept. I'm always doing something else at noon and I miss that net, but I know it exists. I suppose if I were active with it I would think about it more. Okay, thank you. Oh, and your other question. No, you don't have to wait for it to drop out at all, but what you do need to wait for is the courtesy tone. And the, you know, when I stop transmitting here it'll pause a beep and then you'll hear the beep. Once you hear the courtesy tone, the beep, then the channel is clear for you to step in. Um, yeah, that courtesy beep lets you know that the calendar is reset, basically. Okay, this is the 9 o'clock net. More check-ins, please. Whiskey Quebec 7 Hotel, this is James. Good morning, James.

I've got a list of things to accomplish. First stop is going to be McClendon's hardware. I need to get some spade lugs, crimpy spade lugs. I need to build up some radials for a vertical antenna. That's ostensibly a mobile antenna that's really made for automobile installation. But I'm going to be using it for mobile or portable use, or on my deck, as the case may be, if I'm not portable. It's a Yaesu ATOS automatic antenna. So we need to build up some radials for it when it's not strapped to my car. And so I want to get some crimps for that. And so that's for the trip to McClendon's. And then I'm going to drop off our ballots for the election. I don't know who we're electing, but there's a number of ballot issues that we're voting on. And then I'm off to the Yakima Valley fruit market. I've got to pick up some Yukon Gold potatoes, and an onion, and some romaine lettuce, and a couple of beef steak tomatoes. My understanding is that the Yakima tomatoes are in. So we're off to pick up some local tomatoes. Yum, yum, yum. And then I'm going to go and pick up lunch for my daughter and my wife. And I'm going to get soup at the Chinese restaurant. Spicy soup, yay. And then I'm going to come home. And I should be in time for the new net with Jack. So that's my morning. That's what I'm up to. And yeah, I don't know what to do, what I can do to improve the situation with the Columbia net. Because I've got an antenna up, and it just, you know, I mean, I don't know. I don't know. Another antenna 90 degrees from what's there. Perhaps that might help. Some people can hear me really good, and some people can't. And there it is. I try. Well, yeah. WQ 7H, thank you, Bill. WQ 7H back to net. OK. Thank you, James. Well, as far as Columbia Bay's net is concerned, this time of year, you skip right over me, basically. I hear you, but you weigh down. But Skip's very active, and I have the same problem with others. Rick over in Everett, when he checks him, much the same way. People hear him just fine, and I don't. At least I do hear him, and at least I do hear you. So it's interesting. And the antenna, I don't know. To do the antenna right is sometimes pretty difficult to get it up a half-wave length. That would be the optimum. And anywhere between whatever you might have it at there is not necessarily going to improve anything. It might make it worse, in fact, depending on where the lobes are. So yeah, I think about changing my antenna. I don't. All right. Thank you, James. AB6MB. I'm sorry, hang on a second, Jeff. James, you were talking about lunch, and you made me think of mitzvah soup. I love it. AB6MB. Morning, Jeff.

And a bunch of people out there watching it. It was pretty impressive. They shoot the lava up about 1,000 feet in the air, which is a new record. I just got going here. Got this weather station here that I have up. Anyway, it's a long story, but for some reason, I can't figure out how it does the pressure, barometric pressure. It seems like it just does random things with it. So I think it just will for show, but more for than really anything that's useful. But anyway, yeah, no squirrels yet. I put some peanuts out there.

Oh, the volcano, yeah, I was reading about that. I didn't realize it was setting records. But they've had that volcano going for a long time. People are probably getting kind of used to it and blase about it. And it could take a giant burp and cause some major damage. It did that a while back, I guess.

So Poe and I we went for three walks usually in this new tube. It was so nice we went out three times and it was fantastic. And I was walking around the neighborhood here and somebody had, I wasn't even sure what it is, Lavender maybe? I think it's Lavender plant. And bumblebees were just all over that thing so they were happy. Anyway, Candy when I heard earlier today that you'd be doing the net this evening I knew that I had to do some kind of an automotive theme for the crazy antenna this evening. So I've got an old rusty ugahorn on the bottom and then there is a little, you remember back, way back before cars had four way blinkers. There were little conversion kits that you could get, the hardware, you know automotive stores. Anyway, that's on the top of this antenna. So anyway, I posted the pictures.

I got Kewel, Indigos, seven Romeo, Yankee, whiskey, then I.O. And then was there another station in there? If so, please come ahead.

That's a pretty good list. I'm going to go ahead and draw a line. Let's head back up to the top and head to Wilco with P7, Leemar Tilly, Oscar. I believe you said you were mobile. Come ahead. Hi there, Cammie. Thanks for checking in. Yes, I am mobile. I'm on my way back from, well, two different areas. I went to the gym and I went to shoot some pool at Nine Pound Hammer in Georgetown with my mate. And then I went to pick up a set of glass Pyrex food storage containers from Facebook Marketplace out in Redmond. So, I'm on my way back to Redmond now. About to get on I-90 and head home to the boat. Still have not fixed my water leak there, but I don't really feel like working on that tonight. So, I'll probably just be chilling and listening to the net on my way home. And, yeah, I'll send it back to you. 73 is everyone out there. W7, LCO. Well, boots are all very good things. I haven't been to Nine Pound Hammer for a very, very long time. I do enjoy that place. I like that whole neighborhood, as a matter of fact. So, it sounds like you had a nice time there. And then you said you picked up some Pyrex off of Facebook Marketplace. Is it the newer Pyrex or did you get some vintage Pyrex? I'm going to send it back to you, W7, LCO. You know, I don't know the year on these. They didn't look exceptionally new or old. They have the plastic snap clips, they have a little rubber gasket in it, and the glass bottom. So, yeah, I'm not too sure what the cutoff is there. But anyway, maybe you can explain more about that. Back to you, W7, LCO. Good stuff. Yeah. Well, there's a lot of Pyrex out there. But I think that, and I'm blanking on which one is which, but if you look at the way that Pyrex is written, if it's lowercase versus uppercase, it's newer or older because they changed the way they made the glass. And there's a whole lot more information on that, and I'm totally blanking now that I put myself on the spot. So, there you go. I'll have to look that up during another check-in and then come back with that info. Thanks so much for coming back with that, though, and I hope you enjoy that mobile space and all the numbers. After Wilco, we had an I-O, and that brings us to Terry in Scotland, Mike Zero Romeo Pilo November. How are you today? I'm doing well. I was doing well. Most robots, we've worked on this for a day. Now, as you know, it's a clear that I'm thinking, it's not that I'm a person, it's me. I need to know what he did, and then he did it again, and then that one, but yeah, it's amazing how he's got the nasty doing that, and yet the rest of the day, he pretty much didn't bother with me. He was off out playing with his friends, or he was on playing his robots, but yeah, it was one of those kind of days that we managed to get through it, and I did actually manage to sit in a little bit of radio time with Tyrone when I finished work as well. I found the train community of bands quite active on FP8 yesterday. Of course, I would love to do some voice contacts, but I don't have the time, yes, but I do that, and the conditions just aren't quite right for Scotland and the states at the moment, but fingers crossed, things continue to improve via Kami. But anyway, great to hear you tonight, Kami. And of course, I'm into Wednesday morning here, so start with a new day up very early, and going through these work emails. This is DC Kami, 88 in all the numbers, FP8, net control, this is Airman Zero, R10. Okay, thanks so much for stopping by. I am always thrilled to hear from you, 3388.CAT2. Wanted to let you know that we got, I would say, a good majority of your reports. At the very beginning, you were having a hard time holding the repeater, and then it cleared right up. So I wanted to give you that feedback and let you know. But thanks again for stopping by to check in with us. I'm always happy to hear from you and all the numbers. Let's see, next on the list, we have John, W7JSM. How are you this evening, John? This is repeater station Kilo Kilo, W7JSM. Hello, Kami, this is John, W7JSM. I was surprised to hear you hosted an app match, so thanks for doing that. I'm doing good. We got a big delivery here today from Home Depot. We're going to build a deck on the Donners above Crown Pool. I got all the material to do that. It probably won't start until the weekend because I need help. There's a lot of heavy stuff. It should turn out pretty good. I got it figured out to be about a 6 x 8 foot deck. And then have the ladder from the pool connecting to the wood, connecting to the top of the wood deck. That should be a much more stable area to get in. And now the pool with the wusset should have room for a couple of chairs up there too. So it should be fun. Anyway, other than that, I've just been the daily practice of guitar. I just finished about, I don't know, maybe a half hour or so ago. I actually practiced a couple different times today because I just wanted to. Anyway, it's going pretty well. And Finn has been having a lot of fun running around with my son's dog out in the yard chasing each other and wearing each other out. He is sleeping fairly content right now. Anyway, I hope everybody's having a good night and good to hear you on the net. W7, JSM. Don, I heard you talking about that delivery on an earlier net, I think. And that sounds so cool. I wish I had the knowledge and skills to build a deck. We really need something out in the backyard. Whether it be, I don't know, some blank stone or I don't know what you call those big square pieces of concrete, like stepping stones or something like that. Something that we can put down to put the little patio table on. It's sort of like a patio thing because we just got the lawn and it's a little bit uneven and not very good for sitting the table in stairs. So I'm kind of thinking about some sort of deck situation. But I think that's so far in the future. People posted on your project, that sounds amazing and I bet it's going to look beautiful. And how much fun with the pool. You take care of all the numbers and thanks for stopping by to check in. Next on the list we have Brooks, K9 BBC. How are you today Brooks? Good evening, Kami and everyone on the net. K9 BBC Brooks here in Newcastle. I'm having a pretty good day today. Had a busy day at work. In the process of getting the office all cleared out, the home office here. Because this weekend the popcorn ceiling is coming down and the paint is going up. The old desk is going away and the new desks are coming in and the new shelf is coming in. And then it's trying to figure out how to get everything set back up in a nice organized manner. As opposed to the cluttered chaos that I've been living with for some time. Now I will say it has been recently much better than it was previously. But it will be so much better than that. So looking forward to that. Busy rest of the week coming up while trying to get that done. Also be going to the Seahawks game later this week on Thursday. A friend of mine messaged me and was like, hey we got an extra ticket do you want to go? And I was like, yeah that sounds like a lot of fun. Because they're playing the Raiders and if anyone has been paying attention. Our ex-coach and quarterback went to the Raiders. So it will be Pete Carroll and Geno Smith coming back I think. So that should be fun. But yeah, that's what I got going on. Thanks for doing that. 73 K9 BBC."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-05T21:40:54+00:00","id":14405,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14404,"text":" Okay, Buck, a couple of questions before you run off. The first question is, are you taking the popcorn ceiling down yourself? Are you having someone do that? And what is the method that they use to do that? When I tried taking popcorn down, what I did was, it was super messy, but I just sprayed it and then it kind of fell off. Is that the method that they're using? And then with the Seahawks team, where are you going to sit? Do you have the seats or do you have the seats that you have to climb forever to get to? Back to you, K9 ABC. Okay, let's see. So, first question, popcorn ceiling. No, we're paying someone to take the popcorn ceiling down. It's the same gentleman who took down the popcorn ceiling in the rest of our house, and he was very reasonably priced. And what he did was pull up the plastic and it looked like the Dexter show, and he put on an all-white plastic suit and a respirator, sprayed it with some water, let it kind of soak, and then scraped it off. And then he went through and he filled any of the divots or most spots and painted it. So that's what we're going to expect in here. But this, my office, everything's going to be out. So there will be nothing in here, so it should be pretty easy to do comparatively. As far as the Seahawks game goes, let's see, section 129? So I think those are pretty decent seats. I don't know, I didn't actually look at where they are. I just pulled up my old thing here. Wherever section 129 is, is where I'll be. So, thanks K9 ABC. Okay, I'm thinking section 129 is pretty good because that would be the 100 level. I don't know where 129 is inside the stadium. I'll have to look at that on the map, but wow, that should be a lot of fun. I can't wait to hear about that. And yeah, it sounds like your person that's doing the popcorn, I did a similar method, although your person is probably a lot more professional and does a way better job. My popcorn removal was pretty barbaric. And then I also found, discovered when I got into the project that the popcorn had been painted over, and that makes it infinitely harder to get down. So, yeah, it took a very long time and it was really messy, and it was hard to do by myself, especially given that it was painted over. So, I've seen the previous stuff that your person did and it was really nicely done. So, I'm sure that will be fantastic when you get that all taken down. Maybe we'll get the number from your popcorn person because we've got a little bit of popcorn here, and I'm not that crazy about it. So, thanks for that, and I'll look forward to hearing about your experience at the game. Next up, we have Megan, K9 MLR. How are you doing, Megan? Good evening to you, Kami and everyone out there on the night. K9 MLR Megan here at home in the new castle. Good evening to you, Kami and all the other YLs out there. I am doing pretty well. I'm looking around at his office, Kami, and this time I'm going to meet Mark and paint the trim before he comes to paint. So, I'm looking around at the walls that need to be washed down quickly so that we don't get anything under the paint, you know what I mean. But then the little bit of trim that needs to be painted in here compared to the trim that was painted out in the other rooms was daunting of a project. And we're going to have a paint color picked out. I got that this week already. So, making strides towards it. It's a big project even though it seems like a little project, but we will get it done nevertheless. And working on sending out wedding announcements. That has been racking my brain all day, Kami. I think of people to send it to and then I walk away doing something else. I need to know how that goes. That's what I've been up to. Thank you for doing the night, Kami. Great to hear you. On a Tuesday night, 73 is everyone. K9 MLR. Well, it's always great to hear from you, Megan. And isn't that the case? You know, a lot of the time it seems like, you know, it's not that big of a project and as soon as you get into it, it's like, oh, that's a lot more than I thought it was going to be. But I know that it's going to be absolutely worth it and it's going to look fantastic. I can't wait to see the finished product. And yeah, it'll be great. It definitely reminds me, I still haven't painted the office upstairs. I got it all taped off and I got the walls cleaned and everything and I had the color picked out. And yeah, I just got busy and haven't done it yet. So, I still have that on the job. I really want to get it done before it's turned cold as well because I'm really not going to feel like doing it when it's cold up there. So, that's a good reminder for me. 33 to you, Megan, all the numbers. I look forward to seeing you both at the Ice Cream So-So. And yeah, have a great rest of your evening. Alrighty, that's the end of that group of check-ins. It's 9.33 p.m. I'm Tammy, KJ7RAD. I'm filling in for Paul on the 9 o'clock net. I'm going to reset because I looked up the Pyrex sign. So, according to the AI, the Pyrex with the lower case letters refers to soda lime glass versions of the cookware made by World Kitchen. If it's all in upper case, then it indicates the Pyrex is older. It's borosilicate glass made by Corning. The difference is the age of the Pyrex and the type of glass that's used. With the lower case Pyrex, the glass is more pruned. It's shattering due to thermal shock. That's according to the interwebs. So, there you go. There is a difference in the glass. You can see it when you're looking at the clear glass. You can see it in the color of the glass. So, there you have it. Upper case versus lower case. So, the upper case is the older Pyrex. So, with that, we're ready to build a new list of check-ins. If you'd like to give a report or an I.O., all I need is your name and call sign. Go ahead now. QOQ07, Quebec Echo Sierra, Justin. Good evening, Justin. I've got you on the list. Next station, please. QOQ06, Romeo Alp, X-ray, Peter, Ivo, Mike, KJ7, VEU, Michael. Okay. I got all three of you. I got KJ7, June. I got Peter, and then I got Mike, KJ7, VEU. Next station, please.

You know what, that's the end of that page so I'm going to go ahead and draw a line. Let's head back up to the top of this list and hear from Justin. KK7 Kilo Echo Sierra. I can't read my writing. Tell me if I miswrote it. Over to you Justin. Well hey Kami, this is Justin. KK7 Quebec Echo Sierra. Thank you for writing that out tonight. I hope Paul is well out there. You're doing a wonderful job and thoroughly enjoying all the check-ins. And by the way, I also very much enjoy the Pyrex anecdotes. For what it's worth, I've had both the borosilicate and the soda glass versions. Neither have exploded on me but I think it's one of those things that people get fanatical about. Maybe not fanatical but people say always just splurge for the Pyrex stuff and don't get cheaper borosilicate glass cookware. Because sometimes it does explode apparently. Anyway, pretty mellow evening over here. Tonight was the national night out and some of our neighbors hosted a big get together which was pretty well attended. So that was kind of fun and got to meet some new neighbors that we hadn't met before. And it was pretty cool to see there was about six Kirkland police cars and officers there in a fire truck just parked in the neighborhood as we were walking down. I knew that we were expecting at least one Kirkland police officer. I did not realize they were sending a whole crew so it was pretty cool. The kids loved getting tours of the vehicles and we got to meet our new interim police chief so that was kind of cool. And then after about an hour and a half or so they packed up and got out of there and they were headed to their next neighborhood to go visit. So that was kind of cool making those connections. After that we had some neighbors over to our backyard because they just got a new dog and our dog loves to play and loves to make new friends. So they kind of ran around and went nuts in the backyard together and we all laughed and just hung out. Then I finished watching the Marrier's game a few minutes ago and that's been my night. It's been really just a wonderful mellow Tuesday night. Alright I hope everyone's well out there. Cami thanks again for running the nets. I'll send it back to you. Well that sounds like a really lovely evening. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. I quickly looked up National Night Out and I've seen stuff around posted about it and I just didn't really know that much about it. It says that it's an annual community building campaign held on the first Tuesday of August to promote police community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. It encourages neighbors to get to know each other and their local law enforcement, fostering a stronger sense of community and promoting safety. So that's pretty cool. I'm glad that you were able to participate in that. It sounds like your law enforcement folks did as well. That's awesome. I'll have to put that on my calendar and make sure and participate next year. So thanks for sharing that with us. You take care and have a great rest of your night, all the numbers. Next up we have Joan here from C.W. Joan it's too late for coffee but I've got a liquid ID that I'm drinking at Blackberry Peach Flavor. I'm posting it in your direction. Cheers Governor. How's your evening? Cheers Governor. That's just a little bottle of something. I suppose I should take a token some of it. Just the tiniest. There, I think it was a nip. Anyway, there are a few cop cars blocking the pike path. So then the bicyclist is coming down where they're supposed to go. In the traffic. Oh, they stuck past. There we go. Good. Here comes another bicycle. Also sneaking past the dual police cars. I wonder what's up down there. You know, I almost don't even wonder anymore. Although my duty is to be an observer, my Star Trek cosplay is that I am an archaeologist. There's also my favorite Martian. Remember the Martian was an archaeologist studying Earth. But I have this idea that my fantasy is I've just been sent to the early 21st century to document. I'm a documentarian and I'm documenting the downfall. You know, which led to the, well, I'll just won't go into it. People are familiar with the Star Trek world building. No, that the 21st century was a bad time. Anyway, but besides that, I got on my bicycle today and I rode all the way to the credit union, the BECU credit union, and realized I did not have my debit card. And I just wanted to, you know, check my balance and stuff. So I did, oh yeah, I stopped at the, I checked my mail at the post office and I stopped by the farmer's market and bought some beans, bought two pounds of bean cherries. I love them. This is a really dark red one. And I didn't need to go grocery shopping because I had done that yesterday. But I did go back. I came home and got my debit card and went back. And all I wanted to do was check my transactions. And the last 10 transactions showed me enough for me to feel confident. So I asked to see my last month and they printed it out for me. And it all was in order. And on the way back home, I stopped at Dick's and got some fries and a chocolate shake and then hung out a lot with my friends. And my favorite measuring cup, Cami, is the old capital letter Pyrex measuring cup. But I also have three lowercase, newer Pyrex bowls. I could tell more, but I'll stop. KX2CW, Joan and Broadway, back to that. Joan, I always love hearing about your adventures, Joan. And I can totally relate to getting where you need to go and realizing you forgot the thing that you needed to bring. I do that far more than I care to admit. And I'm just picturing you riding your bike around all of those places down to the market and over to Dick's to get some fries, especially on a beautiful day like today. You keep up the good work documenting. I know that you are a documentarian and that you do a fine job of documenting everything. And not just know what's going on up there on Capitol Hill. Thank you for checking in and thank you for documenting all of this. You take care, 33, and all of the numbers. Oh, and I have a small Pyrex measuring cup too, but I cracked it and I can't bear to get rid of it. So it's just to look at now and not to use. So I'm on the lookout for another one. Have a great rest of your night. Next up we have Peter. How are you doing, Peter? I am a little on the tired side. I was out getting a few things done today, but I need to get some rest. So we have Radio Wave Wednesday tomorrow. And then on Saturday we have Cake, coffee assisted knowledge exchange. So coffee, ham, ham, and the weather's been nice. And we usually get 10 to 15 people show up. So it's always really interesting. And the idea is to go home with some more knowledge. So those are the big events for this week besides all the daily check-ins and nuts going on. Back to you, GE6RAF. Question for you, Peter. I heard you talk about your group before, the Cake group coffee assisted knowledge exchange. And I was curious, the knowledge that you're exchanging, is it mainly radio? Or are you exchanging knowledge on any particular topics? Or is it just really whatever topic people are curious about? Or what's your opinion on that? Basically it's for hams that still work Monday to Friday. And more technical stuff. So it's basically ham related. But other things come up too. Sometimes politics, weather, trips, computer stuff. But basically a ham oriented. Well that makes sense. Thanks for coming back with that. Yeah, I was just curious. It seems as though it's mainly ham radio. But it seems like other topics might come up from time to time as well. Even if you've got that topic of mainly ham radio. Will you take care, Peter? Thanks so much for sharing that. And I hope you have a fantastic Cake meeting and exchange lots of knowledge. 73 to you and all the numbers. Next up we have Mike, KJ7BEU. How are you doing Mike? I'm doing fine. I'm doing fine. I plugged it in and charged and I felt it pulsing and moving late instead of coming on like the other one was. I pulled the bottom off the dust screw and put the battery in the controller for it. And I still have the batteries between the two of them plugged in. The wires over there were being worn on the floor. And it's a battery. It's got a shorter battery so the controller is just you know in protection. I took it home. I've already told you I'll just give you a .8 volt battery. You can put the battery in the note on there. And it's a church. So let's see what else. I voted gay. It took me half an hour to drive there. And as far as the shape, yeah that was my thing. The shape or whatever. Actually I had the wearing one linen suit. I had the hips on clean and a drop for a moment. And I had a chocolate on a chocolate chip sundae. It's good. Actually those are pretty good. Those are pretty good. So that and a cheeseburger on clean and it's like 5th of July. And pretty decent. And it was a night there was a bunch of college graduation stuff. And about half dozen twenty something sat next to me. That was great. I got to ask him if I had, I said I was afraid of looking down at my linen coat, jacket regarding my hot fudge sundae. Was it clean? I was afraid of looking down. Yeah he told me it was good. I like to give a few conversations with everybody, especially women. Redheads are fun. Hey you're a redhead too. Hey you have a good night. Coffee Assistant Knowledge Exchange. We'll see about that. Good night."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-05T22:14:49+00:00","id":14407,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14406,"text":" Good evening Mike and I wanted everybody to talk about milkshakes and ice cream and what not.

And then get a little bit scratchy again. I was watching the microscope and you were pretty strong on I think it was magnolia. And then it would seem not very strong on magnolia. I'm not sure if you were moving around or if there was something that was causing your signal to come in and out. But I got your whole report and I just wanted to give you that feedback on the signal. So there you go. I hope that you have a great rest of your evening or night I guess it is. And 73 to you all of the members I hope to see you at the ice cream social coming up as well. And I'll talk about that more in a little bit when I do some announcements. Next up we have for Gulf India November Yankee Sierra. Come ahead how are you? Thank you very much for controlling. Good evening there in Seattle Washington and good afternoon from here in the Philippines. This is a station at for Gulf 1 November Yankee Sierra. For G1 and YS my name is Steven. You can sit here in the kind of city Philippines. Five minutes before one or three in the afternoon here of last day. And weather conditions are quite overcast and expecting of some rain here in my location. Just coming up and supporting the Puget Sound repeater net. Several of these to all of you. And my special thanks also to Joan, to Brooks, to Megan and everybody else for doing very very well in handling the social nets three times a day. The routine is out. Send it back to control for G1 and YS. Well it's great to hear from you all the way from the Philippines. Thanks for staying up and to come and check in with us to say hello. And thank you for your kind words. I hope that you take care, seven three and have a great rest of your night. Next up we have Dean, KJ7 ODD. How are you doing Dean? Good evening Cami and Robert and everyone on the net. I think Robert is asleep. Say hello to him for me. I hope everything is ok with Paul and Moxie. Normally I wouldn't say this but he never misses a net. It's very rare. I hope he's on a vacation or something like that. When you mention the Pyrex, I immediately went and grabbed this Pyrex measuring cup. It's funny because the lines only go up to one cup but you can easily fill it to two cups. I assumed I probably had an old one because it is old. I bought this thing probably in the early 90s. I remember originally buying it for doing photography for darkroom stuff. It's got the lower case logo on it. The upper case, the real vintage ones must be pre 1993 or something like that. Other than that, all this ice cream talk. Now I'm really hungry for ice cream. The other day I went to Molly Moon up on Capitol Hill with Rebecca and Matt. He had flown up from Oregon for seafare. It was kind of a jumbled trip for him because they wouldn't allow him to land at Boyne Field. He had to go to Auburn and Rebecca picked him up. He was still able to get together with a couple of us. For Rebecca and I, it was great seeing him. I hope it was worth the trip for him. Other than that, I look forward to the ice cream social. That should be a lot of fun. I remember the one a few years ago. KG7 ODB, back to that. It's always great to hear your voice. I've never been to Molly Moon before. I know exactly where it is and the one you're talking about. For whatever reason, I've just never been there. Let me ask you this. Have you ever gone to the Salt and Straw that's up there on Capitol Hill? I think they might have a couple of other locations as well. Back over to you, KG7 ODB. No, I have not been there. I've heard of it. But I don't believe. I'm trying to remember. I did go to an ice cream place. If you know where Pneumo's is, it's almost an alley. There's an inn there. I remember my sister and her husband and I about a year ago had ice cream in there. I can't remember if that was the name of the place. Anyway, I would suspect that Capitol Hill has so much good food up there and different places you can go. But you all have to look that up. Maybe it's good that there isn't a good ice cream place right near me. I was actually thinking, oh God, Joan lives like a block away. It must be really tough for her. In fact, she's probably going to run out and grab some ice cream now. I don't know if they're still open. They probably are. Anyway, back to you, KG7 ODB. Well, you'll definitely have to try the Salt and Straw. They have some pretty unconventional flavors of ice cream. I'll just leave it at that. They always have really good stuff. Then that made me think of Snow Goose that's up here near La Conner. It's at this fruit stand and we would drive by there. It would just be packed with cars. We would think, what in the world is going on here? I'm sure the produce is good, but is it really that good? There's that many cars just piled up at this fruit stand. One day we decided to stop. We decided we've got to go see what all the fuss is about about this produce stand. Well, come to find out, it's because they have an ice cream shop and not only an ice cream shop. They make the biggest ice cream cones I've ever seen. You see these grown-ups walking around with these scoops of ice cream that are about as big as their head. You can get more than one scoop and some people do. If we're able to lure you up north again, we'll take you up to Snow Goose. We can get ridiculously large ice cream cones. There's a pretty garden area where you can wander around and look at all the plants and stuff. Now I really, really, really want ice cream. There you go. Thanks so much for stopping by, Dean. I hope you have a great rest of your night. Next up and finishing us out on this round is Brian, PE-7KZ-8. How are you doing, Brian? Hey, you're giving me a candy and the rest of the net. You know, so you just gave me like, this is why I work from home most of the time. Because there is literally a salt and straw in the caf\u00e9 of the building where my office is. So I have to walk by that all the time. You know, the funny thing is though, it closes early. It's only open at lunchtime. So honestly, when I'm there at lunch, I'm not likely to get ice cream. But like, kind of later in the day is when I would want it. And they're closed. So I guess that stops the temptation. Although I do tend to bring home, there's a Ticabella cupcake on the bottom floor there too. And I have brought home some cupcakes. But I can bring home and share with the wife and kids. Anyway, all right, Brian, PE-7KZ-8, huge preamble there. I just got back from Yellowstone and then down to Utah for a family reunion. Good times had by all. So, an excellent trip. It was kind of annoying. I've been on call for work. And I guess the good thing about that is the shift starts at 6 a.m. So I've already used to kind of getting up really early so even with the time change and stuff. And knowing we needed to get up early most of the days to like get into the park and all that good stuff. Just get on the road. That made it kind of easy and stuff. What wasn't easy is no one was covering my on-call shift Friday. So I had to do it from the road. Traveling through Idaho and Utah and I think part of Montana all while on call. And in a call for much of that. So thank you Starlink in the center of my car for making that happen. It worked quite well I must say. So anyway, let me reset real quick. Sorry, it's a long one tonight. I'm usually pretty quick. Anyway, it was a good trip. It was good to see a bunch of family down there in Utah. And went and visited the cemetery like where my, it must be my great great great grandpa. Oh man, there were a lot of really old graves there and stuff. We were wandering around and finding all the relatives and figuring out who's related to what. And all these people used different nicknames and so like who's Clement? Oh that was Bud. Oh, okay. I can't remember. Anyway, it was a good time. So I'm here at home and glad to be back and sleep in my own bed. Pretty exhausted. Still on call for work within all of this. So with that, that'll come nice and early tomorrow morning. So with that, I'll send it back. Thanks for picking up the net there. Chaney waves to Robert. It sounds like he's off to bed. And hopefully we can catch you all Sunday. I'm hoping to go. I'm hoping to go. Bye. Ice cream, ice cream. TZ7, TZ7, he's back to net. Brian, I would be doomed if there was a salt and straw anywhere near where I work or live. So it's probably a good thing that we don't have anything like that in Arlington. And even if we did, everything closes by six o'clock. So unlike Capitol Hill where there's a line out the door at 11 p.m., there's nothing like that here. But again, probably a good thing for me. And Marysville has a little bit more open a little bit later than we do here, but not nearly as much as they do in the city or Capitol Hill. And well, the traveling sounds fantastic. And what's up, multi-tasking, working and traveling? I'm glad that you're able to do that, though, so you're not, so you are able to go. That's great. And yeah, Robert's been asleep for some time. So it's way past his bedtime. He's got to get up really early and go to work. So do I, but I never sleep, so that works out pretty well for me. Great to hear from you, Brian. I hope that you do make it to the Ice Cream Social and then we can all have ice cream together. 7-3, thank you. All the numbers. You have a great day. Speaking of the Ice Cream Social, I could probably do some announcements. I'm going to reset and we'll go through the announcements."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-05T22:17:02+00:00","id":14408,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14407,"text":" Okay, it's 10.07 PM. I'm Tammy, K7RAD. You're listening to the 9 PM social med on the PSRG repeater in Seattle, Washington. I'm going to go through some announcements here. Saturday, August 9th is the PSRG board meeting. That's at 1.30 PM on Zoom. The Zoom link should be on the website soon, so check back for that. On Sunday, August 10th is the PSRG season 7 episode 5 Rain or Shine new net and ice cream social. That's going to be at Green Lake, so you won't want to miss that. It says that it's on the East side of Green Lake, just north of the Paddle Boat Rentals and the Green Lake Cafe Concession Stand. So that's going to be a lot of fun. It says in bold in all caps, it comes in 3D and ice cream. What more can you want? Bring a folding chair, a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen. Bring yourself, bring your radios. It'll be a lot of fun. And then further into the future here, it says on September 13th in Everett, the Zero Retries Digital Conference. That's going to be at the Edward Hanson Conference Center in Everett, Washington. And there's some information on Zero Retries, so if you want to learn more about that, head on over to the website. That is psrg.org. There's some other info on there as well, but I'll leave that for you to peruse at your leisure. So with that, we are ready now to build a new round. If you'd like to give a report or an I.O., all I need is your name and call sign. Come ahead, Kevin. Ice cream comment. November 3. Oscar Mike Oscar. November 3. Oscar Mike Oscar. Elaine, hello Tammy. Well, good evening Elaine. I've got you on the list. And then right before Elaine, I heard a call out for an ice cream comment. Let's have that comment come ahead now. Yeah, sorry to bring up a sensitive subject, but I like having an espresso machine, but would you want an ice cream machine? I thought for about five seconds. What would be your choice? A decision on that one. Hmm, that's a tough one because I do love a good affogato and that requires both. An espresso machine and an ice cream machine. I don't know, I'd have to think about that one. What about you? Well, actually I'm down to 207 pounds. Yet I can still eat things like ice cream and stuff because I don't eat carbos and white bread and potatoes and pasta. And I plan to be about 175 by Christmas next year. This year I'll probably be down around 200. So back to you and yeah, I'm trying to get smaller and that's my method. Enjoy. Have a good night. 73 County. See you this weekend. Alrighty, thank you. Sounds great. So we're still building this next round. Elaine, I've got you on the list. Who's next? Alpha Gulf 7, Lima Romeo. Coaching with an I-O. Good evening Cody, I've got your I-O. Thank you so much for stopping by. Take care.

Oscar, Mike, Oscar, how are you doing? Well thank you very much Tammy. It is M3OMO and I'm doing well, thank you. It's 1.10 a.m. Wednesday morning here in Florida. And it was a very interesting day. I don't know if you heard a little bit about my reports last night. I went to the bank with a letter I had received telling me that my $20 for the year for my safety closet box was going to be taken out of my account. And to be sure to have the right amount there to cover it, I couldn't believe it. But anyway, I didn't yesterday even remember having opened the safety closet box. And they showed me the papers and yes it was my signature. It was a year ago in July and I just could not remember doing it. And then came to the fact of, if you have your keys we can check and see what you have in there now. I had no idea where my keys were. So when I got out of the car I just said, okay please let me see where my keys are. I'm asking my aisle power, where are my keys? And anyway, I closed my eyes and I saw exactly where they were. They were in a red envelope in my jewelry box. And I came right home and went in and exactly where in my mind's eye I saw the red envelope in my jewelry box. So I went back to the bank today and sure enough I had papers in the safety closet box. And what I had been looking for for the past year has been the deed to the house. And I tore this place upside down because you know I'm going to need 77 and I'm just getting to the age. I just want to have my papers in order so my brothers won't have any problems when that time comes. And there was the house papers and the deed. I couldn't believe it. I was really happy about that. So it was quite an experience for these two days, I'll tell you that. So everything is good, the animals are good. My brother is doing well. He starts driving school once again on Monday. So I went with him yesterday to see the routes that he has to go and where he has to pick the kids up and everything. Quite interesting the way they have it laid out. So anyway, thanks for doing the next, Tammy. Say hello to Robert for me. 73, 88 to everybody out there. November 3, Oscar Mike Oscar. Elaine, I did not hear your story the other night so I'm glad that you recapped it for me and shared the rest. Wow, I'm so happy that you were able to remember where the keys were. You know I do that so often. I think, you know what, the perfect place is the great place, the secure place. I'm never going to forget about this. And then of course I immediately forget about it and then can't remember where I put whatever it was I'm looking for. So thank you for focusing and visualizing where they were. I'll try that quickly because it seems it worked out pretty well for you. I'm glad that you got that all sorted and that you found the deed and that's all good. You take care, Elaine. 33 to you. All the numbers and have an amazing rest of your night and have a great day tomorrow too. After Elaine, we have an I.O. from Cody. Great to hear from you, Cody. Thanks for stopping by. That's your I.O. And that brings us to the end of that short round. It seems like things are slowing down here so I'm going to go ahead and do last call. Last call for the 9 p.m. net.

So, we have a lot of I.O.'s at the end of the list. But first, let's head up for a recheck from 4GINYF from the Philippines. Come ahead with your recheck. Thank you very much, Tammy. Kilo G7 will be around for Bravo. This is 4G1 and YGINYF coming back for the recheck. We're all talking about ice cream a lot and the ice cream social that we're going to have. Let me share my favorite flavor. I am a chocolate flavored kind of ice cream dude. But I also try some ice cream, double dutch and lots of cookies and cream. Sorry that much. I maybe want to go to a convenience store to buy one right now. Especially, it's already 10 in the evening there. It's quite humid in here. Here in my country, the Philippines, it is overcast. Sometimes this kind of weather makes me quite want all of those chilling effects. All the ice cream flavors that everybody has been mentioning. Let me ask you something. Yeah, of course, you don't mind. Does the ice cream social also can be heard on the repeater and digital loads? That in case overseas stations like mine could be able to come up? Yes. So, actually, me and my partner in crime here, Robert, KJ7JX, we will be hosting a net during the ice cream social. We usually host on Sunday at noon. So, you'll be able to check in on that net if you're available. So, the wrong way to answer your question is yes. So, back to you. Thank you very much for the... I'm a... That's it for me. I'll send it back to control for G1-NYS. My name is Steven for G1-NYS. Sending it back to you. Well, thank you for the recheck and we'll look forward to hearing from you during live in social net. If you're able to swing by and I agree with you on those flavors of ice cream. That sounds really, really good. I like to try other flavors too. Like, there was one that was a lavender honey that was really good. And then when I was down in Oregon, I had a charcoal ice cream. It was black like charcoal but it tasted a little bit sweet. Almost maybe like a lemony kind of flavor. And I think that that was a flavor that was added in but it was pretty good as well. So, I do like to try those more unconventional flavors sometimes. But, chocolate is generally my go to. Chocolate in any flavor or any form. So there you go. You have a great rest of your night. So, closing us out is going to be the Hero Fox Truck Zero Uniform Station. But stand by because I wanted to acknowledge the I.O.'s. And then I'm going to come back to you and you're going to close us out. So, we had an I.O. from Sebastian. We had an I.O. from Brian. We had an I.O. from John. And thank you all for stopping by to give your I.O.'s. And now I'm going to come back and give it to the Hero Fox Truck Zero Uniform Station. I know I probably got your callsign really, really wrong. But you can correct me when you come ahead now to give your report and close us out on the net tonight. How are you? Good evening there, Tammy. This is KF Zero ULU Kilo Fox Truck Zero Uniform Lima Zero. My name is Jeff Juliet, Echo Fox Truck down here in Missouri. I was actually trying to reach up there to the people up there in Alaska on the KEL 5E1 net. You know, neck of the league is going to be traveling up here in the next two weeks. Came across y'all and learned a lot about ice cream. And it took me a while to figure out where y'all are at. And I kind of figured out you're over there in Washington.

Two times as many firefighters to take care of a blaze than it does two times more than it does in the eastern part of the country. And they're preparing for something they call a mega fire.

They won't be able to get into it. Planning for now. Although they have a lot of small fires, more small fires than usual for them. And they're doing that.

Definitely it was nice to have that rain this morning out at the boat. Feels like it's been a couple months since it's rained for a good eight hours. So yeah, that was pretty nice. Really chill day at work today. My boss, Roderick, he's also my best friend. So the line between work and play is pretty blurry. So he didn't tell me what time. Last night he didn't tell me what time he wanted to start work today, which usually means he's had a couple at the pub. So I didn't hear from him until 1030 today. I've been hanging out at his house for the last hour. And he's like, I just do not want to work today. He said, we've only got one work order that we have to get done today. And it's to install a washer dryer stack combo in an apartment. And the washer dryer is already in the apartment. We just have to hook it up because it involves the water. And he's like, so if you want to go out there and take care of that by yourself and let me just chill here, you'll get paid for the whole day. I was just like, send it. So I'm on my way downtown to install this washer dryer. And then the rest of the day is for me. So I'll go ahead and listen to the net for the next half hour. Thanks for hosting. 73 is everyone out there. And I'll send it back to you. Whiskey 7, Lima, Charlie, Oscar. Uh, OK. Well, that sounds like a pretty good day for you. Now, is he considering this a four hour minimum work day? Or is it a full eight hour day work day for you? Well, yeah, I just charge him per day. He's actually subcontracting out to me because I have my own company, my own entity already. So he doesn't have to pay L&I and payroll and all that stuff and taxes. So yeah, that's kind of our deal is if I work for him at all, I want to get the whole day's pay. And if we have a day where things go long because stuff goes sideways and stuff breaks that we didn't expect, then I just stay past eight hours. But we're very good. So that rarely happens. I think that only happens twice in like eight months. So it's a great deal. Oh, I'd say that's a pretty fair deal. OK, all right. Well, have a good time there. Yeah, listen to the net for a bit before you get out of there. And good luck. Sounds like an easy day to me. Although I do not do plumbing. I am not a good plumber. In fact, I wouldn't even consider myself a plumber at all. I've done very little because I have a very low success rate. Just some things you just know you should not be doing, and that is one of them for me. I can do other things, but that one I just do not like. Although I can wash dishes. How about that? That's pretty good, I guess. Not really plumbing or domestic engineering. All right, Joshua. Have a great day. And I'll see you in the next one. Bye. I hope you're enjoying the rain somewhat. We had an I.O. From Sean out there in Buckley. I looked him up, and I do not know of him until just today. Really happy to have him come in. He is really into radio, scuba diving, all kinds of great things. So thank you, Sean. Good to hear you today. Have a great Tuesday or Wednesday. What am I saying? Let's continue on. That's 1208. I'm Jack KI7RMU for the new net here in Seattle, Washington on the PSRG 2-meter repeater. If you'd like to join us, call, sign, and name."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T12:14:41+00:00","id":14744,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14743,"text":" Yankie.

K9, BDC, Brooks, go ahead. Well, good afternoon Jack and everyone. K9, BDC, Brooks here, mobile on 405 South, headed into Bellevue from up north here. Yeah, the rain is okay for now. I'm going to say I woke up and I didn't even think to check the weather, so I didn't know it was going to rain. I'm glad the dog towel was still by the back door this morning because I had to dry their feet off when they came in. And then when I left to go to work, it definitely smelled like rain. So that was kind of one of those things where they say smell is one of the senses that is most heightened memory. You walk out and you smell that and you're just like, ooh, it smells like fall or something. I'm not really sure. But anyway, I would say the rain is much needed, so I'm okay with that. I do hope it gets a little bit nicer for the weekend if the rain is shining. Outside of that, yeah, just trying to get the home office ready for the renovation that's going on this weekend, the popcorn ceiling removal and stuff. I've got half of the room taken apart, my desk with my work computer and my personal computer, and all the radios are still in there. And the file cabinet is still in there, so those things need to come out. So that's why I take all that stuff out tonight. And then tomorrow, tomorrow going to the Seahawks game. And then this weekend we've got the board meeting coming up and the Rain or Shine coming up, so all kinds of stuff going on. So keep it busy in the corporate household. Alright, well that's all I've got for now, Jack. Thanks for doing it. Okay, nice. Alright, well we are going to be playing you at the Rain or Shine Sunday to find out just what it was like to be there in the 100 section down at the stadium to see that Seahawks preseason opener with Pete Channell opposing with Geno Smith. Oh man, that's going to be a great grudge match. You know, even though it's preseason, each team is going to definitely be playing their best. Oh, that's going to be a good one. Alright, well Brooks, you have a great day. Good luck with depopcording the ceilings there and getting that all painted grey. I know Rebecca was kind of upset, but she said, grey, grey. That was, I was cracking myself up. Anyway, alright Brooks, you have a safe day out there on the road and hopefully not too much oil is coming up with that rain out there. Alright, well let's go find out Mike is by KB8 BMI."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T12:15:50+00:00","id":14745,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14744,"text":" We're in Lacey right now, I just came back from Kent and now we're going back up to Seattle here after I have lunch. So, we're going up there. And yeah, we really needed the rain so it's really good to see that. And especially that fire on the peninsula, I guess it's gotten larger. And I think all of us have been up there by staircase and that's just a really beautiful area. It's just a shame that there's a fire up there. In fact, I took some pictures when I was up there, I think I took a video of the rapids. And there's a bridge across, as you probably know, and then there's another place where you can crawl across on logs. So, you can kind of have like a frontier in the woods wilderness adventure crawling across the logs. And they're big, they're like giant logs. And it's kind of neat, it's just a beautiful area up there so hopefully we'll get that under control and this rain maybe will help. So that's a good thing. And right now it's not raining, it's stopped. It is overcast and let's see, I want to say it's probably somewhere about 61 degrees here last time we checked on the thermometer. And that's not on the phone, that's on the truck here. Oh, I wanted to mention about Rich's homebrew antennas. I got the biggest kick out of that can antenna and I showed it to a friend and I said, can they do that? And they said, yeah, the length is right, yeah. You can, yes, there we are, you can load it up, yeah, why not?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T12:33:38+00:00","id":14746,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14745,"text":" I've seen some of those countries there and then in other places I've seen where they've taken like a piece of bamboo into welding rod or you know coat hanger or whatever, whatever they can get their hands on and if they have the metal and they cut it to length it'll work so it's kind of neat so yeah but I think somebody commented he forgot the can of Spam, the Spam can. So but yeah I just thought that was really neat I got the biggest kick out of that. So anyway that's about it we're just going to finish lunch here and then start heading up to Seattle and see what's going on at the port there and then after that we'll be headed back. So Jack we'll pass it back to you everyone have a good afternoon enjoy the much needed rain this is KVA VMI in the, well we're out in the woods we're in the yard here in Lazy 730. Alright Mike hey have a safe day today yeah the rain is really nice especially after all that heat wave or two we had up here. Well hey you know and the crazy antenna I'm so glad that I convinced him he's got to do it again because he just makes the craziest, funnest, funnest, most fun, okay whatever, more fun, more fun antennas and I tell you he's made so many in the past. So last year I think it was last year or the year before I challenged him on air I said alright Rich challenge time here's what I want to see for crazy antennas and I gave him three items that I knew he had to have around his house there because it's a family house there he's been there for a long time and sure enough he had it I think he produced it that night SWR low 1.3 1.4 something like that and he was just so happy and so was I so hey you know you might want to challenge him maybe send him a note or get him on air at some point and say alright Rich how about this here's your item and see if you can't do it and he had two big, big, well I guess they're a small cross cut saws he had that he made one up yesterday I think that was yesterday's and it sounds great. Anyway alright well Mike hey thanks for checking good to hear you my friend let's go find out what the heck is going on down with the high desert pirate in Prilliantville Katie 7P WFB hi Dave. Well good afternoon Jack and long time no talk to well at any rate I was just curious if you had watched any of the videos of the Skookum Chuck Narrows there in the tidal currents there at Eggmont. You know I'm still looking for those videos I don't see them unless you texted me I have not checked my texts in the last 40 minutes or so but did you email them to me now I can't remember. No I didn't but if you just Google Skookum Chuck which is S K O O I don't remember how to spell it but if you just Google Skookum Chuck they'll show up a whole bunch of stuff out there from surfers to kayakers to you name it have posted some really amazing videos of that area and yeah and a really big tide there it'll run 18 feet and tide change and literally you know 30, 40 miles of fjord all have to drain through this little half mile wide narrows and it is absolutely spectacular. Currents up in the 15, 16 knot range they've got all kinds of like if you Google tugboat rollover that's right there at the Skookum Chuck and that roll the tug and barge over literally upside down there in the rapids so it's kind of interesting you might take a look see if you can find it I don't know the exact site to be honest with you but give it a shot. So anyway not much more going on here I'm just finishing up shopping and thinking about lunch here so I'm going to let it go but hey have a great day and 73 K D 7 Papa Whiskey Bravo Day the High Desert Pirate Radio.

Hey, Michael. Hey, good afternoon to you, Jack, and hello to everybody listening on the net. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta Michael here in Kirkland. And it's a rainy day, Jack. That's okay. Needed the rain. Started raining softly in the middle of the night, and it rained harder this morning. And what am I doing? Well, I realized in my malware bytes protection, I don't think, even though they're kind of protected, I don't think I have any of the right computers listed. I'm trying to figure that out. And it's kind of baffling to me. So, oh well. And, because I have five computers over here, different kinds, and I want to get them. And there's five listed, but I don't think they're the right ones. One of them is, but the rest aren't. Anyway, and I'm packing up for a Bigfoot. And that's gonna be interesting. They decided to move our site to a place that's very small. I don't think we can get six A station vehicles in, and there'll be big trucks and R5 ham vehicles. And hopefully there's no one camped there, because it's right near a river. And one of the guys said people camp there all the time. We'll see. Don't want to park my vehicle out on the road. So I don't know what's gonna happen. Anyway, that's what's going on over here. Jack, thanks for the net. Everybody have a safe day. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta. Well, Michael, before you get on the road to get down there, are there, or is there someone doing a site survey, a potential site survey early on, so that you can figure out well before you get there, just what you are going to encounter once you do? Uh, Jack, actually Google Drive maps, or whatever they call them, drove the road, so you can see how the road is one lane wide, very narrow, and no shoulders. And then it turns off onto this road that's closed. That's gonna be used as a trail. So they come up a road and then turn onto the trail. But there's not a lot of space, that's the problem. And I don't know whether the road's, I don't think the road is, road number 23 is closed. So it's gonna be interesting. I go to Cole Bar Lake the first night, and then we'll see if there's space for me or not, because the two days are gonna be in a converted school bus with all the equipment. And if anybody's camped there from people camping, there's actually, the spaces are real small, even if no one's camped there. I don't know if there's room for all our vehicles, so. And so the only way you know if anybody's camped there, someone drives it today or tomorrow, and see if anybody's down there. It's a long ways from here to go down and just drive it to see what's going on. Anyway, Jack, thanks for asking. Everybody have a safe day. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. All right, Michael, good luck to you and everyone else on the Bigfoot 200. That is, oh man, that's such a big unknown. Hate to have you get down there and find out that you have to turn around, Michael, unless you are parked on the road. No, thank you. You're gonna have to go probably. Oh yeah, all right, well hopefully people improvise, may do, and it'll all work out in the end, and you'll have a successful Bigfoot 200, especially after all the work and planning you put into it. All right, well I hope you do. Say hi to Kathy, of course, today, and thank you, Michael, for coming on by. Let's go back to John at Commando Island. John, are you available by chance? Why, yes I am. This is John Kilo 9, Juliet Echo Bravo. So not only do I have three radios running, one of which has no signal, one of which has a extremely marginal and almost completely uncopyable signal, and then one that has a barely copyable signal. So I'm going with the barely copyable signal one at the moment. So then I got a phone call and a station manager at the same time, so just perfect, perfect timing for the station manager. The PSA is for the Granite Falls Repeater. If anybody uses a Granite Falls Repeater, in Snohomish County, today it was narrowbanded, which means they changed a couple of things. They changed the frequency, so they knocked it down five kilohertz, it's now 146925, narrowband FM, 146925, narrowband FM, with again still a negative offset. This is Repeater Station Kilo Kilo 7, November, now has a PL 7 of 156.7, and it's by the Snohomish County ACS, but anyway, I just wanted to get that out there because it just changed like an hour ago. So that way folks can reprogram your radios. So narrowband FM, Granite Falls, 146.925, with a PL of 156.7, that's 146.925, with a PL of 156.7, and negative offset for that one. Anyway, that's the PSA, it's rainy here, we got almost an eighth of an inch, so I'll throw it back to the control, 73 K9JEB. All right, and I believe, I don't know if you were monitoring a couple of days ago, there was a couple of people working on a repeater up that way, and I believe that that is the one, and they were doing some testing, once it was all dialed in, I think Don from the very repeater was up there, somebody from our group, and others I think too, and I don't know how many were actually on site, but is that the repeater they were working on, because it seemed like they were changing something around, and I'll bet you that's what it was, do you know? That I don't know, it's likely though, but I don't know, the only one person that I recognized on the list of folks who were on here is Scott, in 7SS, and yeah, so anyway, they got it all squared around, and it's up and running, and it's all working, so anybody that has a radio program for the old frequency of the PL, it definitely won't work, and it's now narrowband FM instead of wide mode, so just wanted to get that out there, repeater book hasn't been updated yet, it might take, I don't know, months even for that to happen, so just wanted to get that out there, and let everybody know. 73, back to net control, K9JEB. All right, and I imagine the most up to date source for any changes in frequencies, PL tones, anything like that would be www.arra.org, and get on their site and look for the latest updates there. All right, well thank you, appreciate that, John, have a great afternoon, hope you're enjoying a little bit of rain up there. Okay, let's see who's up next, we've got James, WQ7H. WQ7H. WQ7H, I am James. Good afternoon, well there you go. Good afternoon, everyone. Hello Michael, you're sounding well, and I hope you enjoy the Bigfoot excursion. Yay, Cammy, thank you for checking in. You know, those carnival stereos, I remember back in the day when there was, there were, pshh, jeez, there were people that wanted in their carnival stereos, but they just didn't have the room, they were like apartment dwellers. And so companies like Avery Fisher started to market compact consoles. And so they would, they built really nice units, they were, they were real wood, and the turntables, real turntables, were in the top, and so you would lift up the top, and the turntable would glide up, and then you could play your vinyl, and then in the front of the unit was, of course, the tuner amp, it was a combo, it was a tuner amplifier combo. And then, and like, you know, it had the Avery Fisher logo, was it an angel or something like that, or it was like a note, or two notes strung together. Anyway, Avery Fisher, there you go, what a guy. And then he sold it. He done did, I believe, he sold it, ooh. And that was kind of the end of all the nice wood cabinetry, you know, it went for dollars instead of, you know. I mean, remember when Zenith advertised their stuff, like the quality goes in before the name goes on, and you'd see somebody soldering like a wire to a tube socket and there'd be the smoke, the magic smoke, and that was the quality going in before the name goes on, Zenith, ooh. There you go. I am, well let me pause for a breath. My little, my N5 BOC hotspot, there, lost some dust. I'm using the WPSD software to accommodate my dual port N5 BOC hotspot, and the software went TU last night, so I'm reloading the software. And my backup, well, it's kind of fuzzy too, so we're just drilling through and reloading, and that's giving me something to do today, because my Jodie Bear is with her daughter, Whitney, and they're down at Virginia Mason spending the day. She has like six, seven, seven appointments. They're checking on her because of all the chemotherapy that she has to go through, like all the time. About every six months she goes through a five week regime of chemo, so it's gonna be a tough week for her. But that's where she is at, and so we're here just sending out positive, we're sending out good vibrations. And so there you go, I've got a nice big pan of lasagna, which we will have ready for Whitney and Joan when they get back for dinner tonight. And there it is, so that's what's going on. I'm focusing on radio to keep my brain occupied. That's the news from here in WQ7H land. Old bird, you might think you're impervious. You might think you're invisible, you're not. And as I gaze in awe upon the new radio, RTFM, WQ7H back to Jack. All right, JV, great to hear you. Thank you so much for checking out. You enjoy that lasagna. Yeah, man, I love that stuff. Hardly ever make it though, and even less, but good to hear you. All right, well, you know, you gotta look at your eight timer to see what's wrong with that thing. Hey, I got a question for you. Did you realize, and I know you said that, you know, eventually Fisher ended up selling the company after he'd made the pretty good money there, but it says here when the audio market veered toward mass merchandising in 1969, Fisher sold the company to Emerson for $31 million in 1969. That was a stack of money. But then, listen to this, he sold it to Sanyo, or sorry, Emerson later sold it to Sanyo. And Fisher consulted for both companies, Emerson and Sanyo, so what a career. And an excellent violin player too. All right, anyway, James, good to hear you. You have a great afternoon. Let's go pick up our Megan off the floor after you get totally stomped on by James. Now, of course, not really stomped up either, I mean, K9 MLR Megan, how are you? Good afternoon, Jack and everyone out there on the K9 MLR Megan mobile here in Bellevue. Probably got stomped on because I'm mobile and I think I'm only on medium power. Jack, I'm not very good at working this radio in my rig. It's a different brand than most the rest of ours in our house, so I should probably figure out how to do that. So I should probably figure out how to change the power on that, their hi-fi one of these days, I'll get to that. But I am mobile-ing here. I got my heart rate up, the adrenaline going, and I got the blood pressure up, I'm sure, Jack, because I left the house and then I got a call, the alarm's going off, did you just leave, yes? I just left, what are you talking about? So nothing like sheer panic of trying to find a spot to turn around when you're not in a good spot to turn around and then race back to the house, not sure why the alarm was going off because the sensor that they said it was, was, it was closed, the door was closed, so I don't know, Jack, anyway, I'm awake now. Thanks for coming at 73, everyone, K9, MLR. Okay, you weren't trying to turn around on 405 or something crazy, were you? No, Jack, fortunately it was just down the hill from the house, but there wasn't a good spot to turn around because it was a weird intersection, K9, MLR. Yeah, that would be a little bit of trouble, I'd put it on 405. All right, well, you got it solved, that's a good thing too, so thank you so much. And your audio was excellent, excellent. If you were translating at that point there during that time, you were just fantastic, so good radio there. All right, well, thank you so much. Let's go talk to Ethan, K5, ONA. Hey, thanks, before I tell you I have to repeat your hearing and some pretty bad picket fencing, how am I making it into the main heat? Your audio's a bit odd, but no, you're coming all the way across all six of our receivers, so yeah, great job, go ahead, Ethan. Okay, just making sure. Thanks for handing it over to me. You had good timing, I'm just jumping onto the five-headed south of Seattle from Linwood. Current travel time is 35 minutes. And I teamed in right at the right time I was listening to Tammy, I think it was, talking about console record players. If you'd called me about four years ago when I was moving to New Jersey from California, my grandmother had a beautiful Reader's Digest custom console four that we could not get rid of and I would have been more than happy to put that in the back of the Jeep and drive it on up to you, but unfortunately that is long gone. But the good news is with the resurgence of vinyl and the appreciation of younger generations, a lot of these units that would wind up in the landfill somewhere actually getting saved and lining up in the secondhand, got some things like that. And if you happen to like better sound, the units, of course, are very easy to work on. You can take the turntables out of them, take the speakers out of them, put something newer in them, and still keep the charm of having a full-size console unit. But weather is gray, not raining right now, but coming from California I don't mind the rain. Any weather is novel. But that's it, that's about all I've got to say. 73 and back to neck control, K5-1A. All right, he said, hey, you have a great afternoon. Well, and I was gonna say I wasn't sure where I was going to insert this into the conversation, but I've seen a number of those old consoles, like you say, refitted with modern electronics, and man, there's some crazy ones out there. They don't cost $275 like they might have back in the day. I don't even remember what the range on the pricing was. We had one in our house, so probably 68, 69, something like that. Man, we thought that was the greatest thing you'd ever seen. They had everything in, the radio, AM, FM, had the record player, the amp, oh man, had the big old speakers, that thing sounded fantastic. Yeah, it was just amazing. Anyway, yeah, now you can't like I say, if it's an old one you probably can't even get it away until you find somebody like Cammie who wants one. So let's all keep an eye out for Cammie and see if we can't find her a nice console that she can get over to the house there. All right, well anyway, I'll talk to you later, Ethan. Nice to have you come in, K5, ONA out of Linwood. All right, who else would like to join us for the new net? It's 1247 p.m. on Jack KI7RMU, that's you. Come ahead, call, sign, and name. Okay. Go seven Romeo. It's David Wallingford. All right, Rich, I've got you. David, I've got you, who's next? KM7, AJM. All right, I thought you would join us there. Thank you so much. Good to hear you. Skipper, stand by, who's next? All right, Rich, Seattle K30E. How are ya? Go ahead, please. Fine over here. A few minutes ago, I had some hard shadows, although not anymore, but anyway, nice cool day. I did get pulled up for a walk, and Jack, he'd be proud of me. I went down to re-PC today, and I actually took something to be turned in, and I didn't buy anything, so how about that? So I'm behaving myself. Anyway, Jack, yeah, the internal lab is open again, and yeah, it's fun to get back into the crazy stuff, and yeah, keeps me going, keeps me thinking. Anyway, Jack, I was amazed that you were able to find that label for the UGA orange. That just blew me away that you could actually find a good copy of that label, because I can't read all the one that's on the unit I have here. Back to you, K30E. Well, that totally drives me nuts when I can't see what the heck it says on there, that UGA horn by Hutchins and Company, and the part that I could not figure out was St. Charles, Missouri. Did you realize they were from St. Charles? Did you ever know that? Yeah, there is. There's photo. There is another morgue on it somewhere, and I think I do know that. Anyway, Jack, that was just really, really cool Sherlock Holmes work on your part. Back to you, K30E. Oh, I don't know about that. Pretty easy way to tell you the truth, but listen to this. I did discover a lot of the different forms on the UGA horn, the Claxon horn, is that apparently that one says 12 volts, but they're really more six volts, but apparently in the forms it says, yes, six volts is correct, but 12 volts if you want the thing to scream, and so I'm wondering if they did that on purpose. I guess they probably did, but so are you going to at some point take that out of the antenna, and could you maybe do a little demonstration and maybe record that? If the UGA claxon does, that's six and 12. And now the thing is quite rusty when I look inside, you know, so I don't know if this thing will still work or not, but you know, I've got a nice 12 volt power supply here. Yeah, I'll give it a go, and I'll let you know what happens. Either I blow a fuse or it works. Back to you, K308. Well, hydrogen zinc company known for their claxon horns, those things, they must have made a billion of those things because there's a ton of available, one guy in the, one of the former said, I've got 50 of those things here, so. This is repeater station, you've got to be quite a few of them out there. Well, I'd be really curious, that would be kind of a neat side adventure for the antenna adventure. All right, well, hey, take care, Rich. You have a great afternoon. Nice to hear Polo in there too.

How's your Wednesday? Pretty good. Slept in late today and feel rested. Drinking coffee here. Let's see, I put out some nuts and peanuts for the squirrels and they're out there chomping away on them. Princess looks like she's over there chewing away. Yeah, just got that ball game on. The Dodger Games is going to be on in a few minutes here playing. But yeah, coffee's really hitting the spot right now to say that. So that's about it, Jack. We're cleaning out the apartment here today and the fun never stops. Go back to you, AB6MB. All right, well, you know, October's not too far away. We're going to wind down for the Major League Baseball season. But what about the NFL? I don't remember if you're a big football fan or you tolerate them or what. But I was just kind of curious because I don't remember from last year. It seems like baseball just goes on forever. I think 160-some games in a season. But so what about football? Could you refresh my memory on that? I'm not a huge football fan. I watched the Seattle team there. Of course, my mind went blank. Seahawks, a poll for them to win. Last year I was following Kansas City. I really liked the way they were playing. And they got pounded in the Super Bowl. That was pretty pathetic. But I'll probably follow the Seahawks this season. I think I got something or a nice feel for my hometown team, AB6MB. All right, well, I don't know if you heard Brooks' check-in today. But tomorrow is a big preseason game. And he'll be in the 100 level down there at the stadium. So maybe we'll get a report on the 9 o'clock net. I'm sure we will. And find out just how they did. All right, well, there you go. Jeff, you have a great afternoon. And thank you so much for coming. Those houses out there, what's the time now? 1.02, two minutes past half the hour. I'm Jack KI7RMU.

I forget exactly where we are but in the hundreds and a few years and thank you. So I did a tour this morning at Pike Place Market nice and cool, had guests from Houston and asked what brings you to the Pacific Northwest and they said it's cooler here so they were loving it too. And I'm going to be playing around with antennas and stuff this afternoon, loving my J-Pole for this 2 meter but I'm kind of working on a fan dipole. I've got a balcony that's 20 feet wide, south facing, 4th floor and I'm planning to put that out there probably on the other end of a duped duplexer so that I can use the one heavy duty 400 coax as a feed line and then run both of those antennas. I want to get into something with the lower frequency, the 6 or 10 for some distance so we'll see about that. Otherwise I've got a lot going on this afternoon but do have an opportunity to play some loud music like some others have mentioned, might be doing that. I'm looking to see if I can get a stream of what happened in Golden Gate Park over this last weekend. If the quality is not bad I might turn that up if I can find it. That's about it from Wallingford, KI7RYW. Alright, hey good luck with that fan dipole. Now I don't know what happened in the park in San Francisco, maybe you could fill us in real quick on that, but I do want to say this is new net 2080. Back to you David. On the 2080, great job. I've heard that some people say, what is it, most people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years. So you've started to stack up the years here on this, that's a great contribution and of course widely appreciated obviously. As far as what happened in San Francisco over the weekend, it was a celebration of 60 years of the Grateful Dead. Someone mentioned blues based rock and roll and I know that the Grateful Dead covers a lot of different genres, including especially blues based rock and roll. John Mayer, although he was a pop star, also famously dropped out of Berklee School of Music in Boston so he could go down south and play the blues and he came up through actually working little clubs and then he became a big pop star. And then he got recruited to play guitar with Denton Company, what's left of the Grateful Dead. So his guitar is great, he's dead to me and as a band I hear much of it was great, some of it only good. But that's what's great in my experience with that band, the reliability over the decades has always been, yeah okay, hit or miss now and then you hit some misses. Sometimes things are a little weird but generally you're going to have a darn good rock and roll time if that's something that you can get into. So that happened, big three day thing at Golden Gate Park on the Polo Fields last weekend, I was not there of course but it was captured as so many of their shows have been over the decades and I'm kind of looking around online to see if it's available. Otherwise I'll put a record on, I've got some good ones of those too. That's it for me, KI7RYW. Alright David, you know for some reason I totally forgot that that was even going on because I did know it was going on and in fact the number of people who were pretty darn upset was a ticket price for the event $300. Yeah some people remember The Human Being and all those crazy shows they had way back in the day that were all free. Yes indeed, well you can't really do free anymore can you? So I guess, unless it's just a cushy guitar and your voice. Yeah it sounds like a pretty good show that's for sure. Well and I know that archive.org now they have the most Grateful Dead recordings of anybody anywhere that I know of and I thought it was 3000 recordings of live dead shows and I think apparently it's gone up since then the last time I looked so yeah if you want a good show or even one of the offbeat shows that they've done over the many many years they've been around. What's left of them, that's the place to go. Alright well anyway David have a great afternoon and thank you so much. 1257, glad to skipper there. KM7, JMSkipper, what's going on? Good morning Jack, can everybody on the net? Well I have to reprogram my radio somehow today I wiped it out completely so glad I have RT Systems to redo that. How's my audio coming? Does it sound ok? Yeah you're hitting all the receivers doing pretty good, there's a little ticky something, a little clicky type of thing but that could just be that you've just reprogrammed it I don't know but yeah continue on go ahead skipper. Well it stopped raining finally we got like 42 one hundredths of a inch of rain so I guess we're going to do inside chores today. I did take a walk this morning with cyclone in the rain through the woods that was kind of fun but other than that just have to do a little research and find out what the ticking is I'm not sure. Anyway that's all I got KM7, AJM back to Jack. Yeah just a little bit of a, it's interesting. Alright well anyway you know it's not a stop answer understanding every word you say. Glad you had a chance to get out with cyclone, glad you got some rain, glad to certainly welcome, I had a really nice time walking up to the Amazon box to pick up something that came in and it was in the rain and that felt really really nice. Nice to get out. Alright well let's continue on thank you so much skipper have a great afternoon.

It's about 109 right now, it's pretty warm, and going up to 117, they say. We'll see, 118 tomorrow, and then I think we're gonna get a break. But the day is warm, I was out at the flying field this morning, got out there nice and early, big crowd out there, almost retired guys flying our planes, and had to leave at 9, it was 915 or so, it was getting pretty warm. And then ran to the car wash, washed the X-Y-O's car, and woke up all the way, boy you needed it. And I went to the store, so I'm watching a video right now from Seaside, Oregon. I know some of the folks up there go down to that, it's a video by WG7D, I don't know if he's from the Seattle area or not, I've seen some of his videos before, but interesting guy. Back to you, Jack, N-5AQM. Oh, hey, hold on a second there, so give me his call sign again, would you please, there, Mike, and what is the topic of the video you are watching? Yeah, it's Seaside, the Big Amfest I guess, the guy's call is WG7D, WG7D, and this is like Friday, and there's a bunch of people out on the beach playing with radios, I've heard other people talk about that, back to you Jack, N-5AQM. Oh yeah, we had quite a contingent go down to Seaside for the Big Amfest this year, as usual, and I did not know WG7D, hmm, I don't know if I know that call sign, I don't have to see if I've logged that station. Alright, well thank you, I'll check that out, yeah, they do the kites on the beach, and oh man, they have a lot of fun things going on all the time at Seaside.

Just here in the car, just reprogrammed this repeater back into the radio, and just get that set up. So I guess I got everything done right. That's good. And here you go, the radio here is a Yaesu FTM-300 Delta. And that's the battery we're using here in the car. Yeah, you sound nice and clear. Audio level's good, and audio's nice and clean and clear. Chris, probably cleaner than mine is. I'm just coming through a cheap little UIT radio. A little Amazon special thing, but it works."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T20:24:59+00:00","id":14781,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14780,"text":" Yeah, fine business.

It's in Fahrenheit now. But we had a pretty warm. And it's been warm here all summer. We've had a lot of wildfires. A lot of wildfires that lasted a while. Just about 25 miles to the west was here. We had a fire in a town called Holy Run. And it's a state of emergency. And they were called for evacuation. And also out around the, what they call Conception Bay area, we had a lot of fires out there. And unfortunately, some people lost their homes and cabins and that. But no fatalities, which is the main thing.

We've had a streak of probably about a month of no rain. We just got a little bit of rain today. But we've been up in the 80-90 Fahrenheit range which is in the high 20s to 30 Celsius I believe. It's extremely hot for our climate and dry. And we're basically like a rainforest here in Washington so we'll spark with that up. I actually have the Bear Gulch fire just a mile or two from me and that's a big 5,000 acre fire that's just tearing through the mountains right now. Hey, okay, fine business on that channel. I hear it heard on the news and that it's been forest fires everywhere and that water fires breaking out everywhere. That's something else. Yeah, indeed. Anyway, like about a week ago tonight now, we had a very warm day, 25-26 Celsius or higher. And it was very hot and dry all day. And that night, around 11 o'clock in the evening, 11 p.m., we had a very wicked thunder and lightning storm, electrical storm. If you look at the island of Newfoundland on the map, we're surrounded by water of course. And it came up through the Bjorn Peninsula and came across Conception Bay and then into St. John's and it was on the go most of the night. We did notice throughout the night that you look to our north of that and you'd see lightning lighting up the sky but it was dry and warm. And around 11 o'clock it started here, it came in and boy I tell you, it came down with a vengeance. And that's the last day we had rain. We had a little rain and about an hour after an hour it moved back out to sea again. I'm here in St. John's, the capital city of Newfoundland, the province of Newfoundland. And we're right on the east coast so it lasted about an hour and by 12 or 1230 it was moved right off and moved right out to sea over the North Atlantic. And that, but it, that was the last bit of rain we had. Like I said, it rained here, I'm not sure how many millimeters we had but it was enough that some manhole covers came, popped up off the streets, you know, that, what they tell you is the water we had from that. But it only lasted about an hour."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T20:36:10+00:00","id":14785,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14784,"text":" pretty intense. Lightning can get pretty aggressive too. That's how a lot of the fires in California and stuff start. Around me though, once the fires start, frankly people are not using smarts. A lot of them, I think most of them around me actually were started by cigarettes. And that Bear Goldspire, the big one that's near me, was actually started by a firework. That's for sure, yeah. Fortunately, you know, people are curious on that, especially when it's warm. You don't realize, you know, there's one little small spark, and you've got the woods are so dry, and the forest floor is so dry, and it's a small little spark, and it's like a tinderbox, up she goes, you know. And we're not sure what started the fires here, could it be a campers or whatever, but I do know that the province of Nova Scotia, that is to the west of us here, that there's Newfoundland, and that and then you look at the map and you go over and see Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is so dry up there. This week they made, the government made an announcement that all the forest area people stay away out of all the forest as much as they can. It's a ban on going into the forest until about September. And at the same time there last week they made an announcement here in Newfoundland that now, from now until the middle of September, there's no open fires to be lit up anywhere, and that it's so dry. And I looked at that, I mowed my lawn there a couple of weeks ago, and it's just now starting to go up a little small bit, but in between a drought today, you can see it is getting burned, so that's what I do. I let it grow a few inches and then I'll mow it again. I'll have to water it now tomorrow on that, and I couldn't find my sprinkler, so I have to go out now to Walmart or someplace, or Canadian Tire tomorrow now and see if I can come up with a sprinkler and water it down and that, so there you go. Anyway, we're not going to hold it. Thanks very much, Hawker, for coming back to us. It's certainly nice to meet you here this evening on the offset. As I'm going through V01-XMT, repeat, I'm 447-250 here in St. John's. Repeater's not too far away from me. And that's all, so there you are. And we'll pass it back to you for your final there. Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, as a Carrasco 1 X-ray hotel. Yeah, it's nice talking to you too. I haven't really been that positive on the radio recently. I've been working on stuff. Just getting back into Taunton-Clevel. It's a nice chatting again. And yeah, the restrictions and stuff on us get pretty intense too. They put us under what's called Red Fly Warning, and when they Red Fly Warning, you're not allowed to use gas lawn equipment, you're not allowed to use barbecuers, you're not allowed to be in any public forest land, you're not allowed to have gas vehicles parked on any grass, or being parked on gravel or pavement. It gets intense, but I mean, it's needed. Here two years ago, I had to fight off a forest fire off my house here. You look on Google Maps, and you get curious, my address is on the doors either. You can look at Google Maps, there's a big black area coming right up to my house there. And yeah, that was exciting. Anyways, nice talking to you. Maybe see you around again, hopefully. OK, fine business, Hunter. And all the best to you and yours. 7-3, and keep safe with the modifiers. 7-3, the 01X-8's mobile are clear."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T20:36:31+00:00","id":14786,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14785,"text":""},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T20:39:28+00:00","id":14787,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14786,"text":" This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, All Star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T20:48:23+00:00","id":14788,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14787,"text":" This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November Quebec November All Star Note 6222 located in Shelton Washington.

This is a directed social net that happens on the WW7 PSR 2-meter repeater, which is operated by the Puget Sound Repeater Group here in Seattle, Washington. The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and a teal tone of 103.5. All licensed hands and new licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third-party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. We encourage you to press that button, tell us a little bit about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else. Please limit your reports to three minutes so we can get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign. That'll keep the FCC happy. I'll be compiling a list of stations that would like to check in and then we'll ask for your reports. If you'd like to check in only, just let us know. You'll be in and out, also known as an I.O.

That makes a healthy list. So let's go back to the top and chat with Amy KB9IQX33. Amy, how was your day? Well, 33 to you Megan. 73 to Brooks. Thank you for doing the net. 70 howdy! And 73 to everybody on the net. I'm doing pretty I'm doing pretty well even if you're a stickler for a very precise grammar. I'm here curbside. Which I realize this summer is something I have not done as much as previous summers. I have not just, you know, been curbside outside here in my shop, my garage, my driveway. Just ending the day and enjoying the net. And it feels nice. It's a nice summery thing to do. So I'm doing well. Let's see, I had a pretty fun day at work. I was not out in the field. I was actually doing data monkey work all the time. Which then I was like, ah! That's one reason I really love my job. Because some days I get to, you know, you know, put on the grubby work clothes, put on the high-vis vest, have my clipboard and hard hat. And you know, I get to drive around the city and I get to drill holes in the street and pound nails in. Which is cool. And nowadays I get to kick back in the air conditioning, wear masks with people, professionals, have meetings with people, do some desk work. The variety that I enjoy. I love you all. And then I was talking to KJ7NUW just before the net on a different repeater. And it was fun because she was at home and I was kind of roving around within a few block radius of the neighborhood. I checked out this part in the high-tension power line. And I was like, oh, I'm going to go home. I'm going to go home. And I checked out this part in the high-tension power line right away where it looks like some neighbors are getting together and building a little park area. And it was really cool. And then I walked over and I saw, like, I was peering into some of the houses that were for sale in the neighborhood. So I kind of felt like, you know, she was at ops, you know, monitoring field agents. And I was out in the field and, you know, maintaining radio communication, maintaining comms. I think this qualifies as comms with a Z. And, you know, reflecting back, making sure that I completed the mission. So I felt very engaging and like now that I'm listening to the net. I hope everybody had a great day. I hope everybody has a wonderful tomorrow. KB9 IQX. Well, Amy, that is super fun. Curbside at your home QTH. Yeah, that's always fun in the summertime. We always forget how fast summer goes and then we don't get around to all the things we had planned to do this summer, which is always such a bummer. But I guess there's always next summer? I don't know. It's almost like you have to plan it out before it even gets here and then it's here and gone and you're like, wait, but I didn't get to everything. I know what you mean there, Amy. It's hard to get to it all. But glad you got to hang out in the air conditioning today. Well, I guess you didn't really need the air conditioning, but it was nice to be out of the rain, I bet. So that's kind of fun. You get to be in the office and out in the field. That makes it kind of exciting and a little more interesting. It's never the same old, same old, which is always my favorite thing. That's so boring. Glad to hear you got to talk to Madeline, KJ7 and UW before the net. Hope she's doing well. Hopefully we'll get to see you at the ice cream social this weekend at Green Lake on Sunday. You take care, Amy. Have a great rest of your work week and hopefully we'll see you soon. All right, it is 907 p.m. I'm K9MLR Megan. Now we're going to go talk to Ann, K89, EHB33. To you, Ann. Good evening. To the rest of the team. Hey, what's going on? It's an interesting night. My husband had a more interesting time than I did. I'm having a harder time dealing with picnics these days. This one with its spotty seating and rather irregular seats. The layout was more exhausting than I really wanted to deal with. We walked back home and then my husband went back. I guess they're developing little emergency clusters around here and looking for ham radio operators. That's interesting. I don't know anything more about it than that. That was interesting last night. Today I worked on some stories and I'm getting ready to practice some harp and listen to a radio show that I sometimes like. Tomorrow I'll work on some more stuff and do more harp. On Friday I'll be back up at the gallery. That's about all that's happening in my life. I'm less than a week away from Worldcon now so I'm making a list of all the stuff I have to do to get ready for the next one. Including assembling a little actual military costume. I've got to work on that tomorrow. Anyway, that's about all the news at IS News. 73, 33, 88, oh the numbers. Thanks, Megan and Brooks for doing the net. Thank you all for listening. I love you all.

Those that know the map of Australia on the southern east coast of Australia, the state of Victoria, and I'm in Melbourne. So if you've got nothing to do, look me up, hi, hi.

Okay, it is 9.12 p.m. I'm K9MLR Megan. We had an IO from Cody AG7LR. Thanks for dropping by, Cody. You have a wonderful rest of your evening. And now we're gonna go talk to Bill, K7WSB. How's it going, Bill? Well, good evening, Megan. This is Bill, K7WSB. I am up here in Steveson, British Columbia. My wife and I are going over to Vancouver Island on the Sosson Ferry tomorrow. And we thought this would be a nice jumping off point. For those who've never heard of Steveson, which I never had until recently, it's southwest of Vancouver, just at the mouth of the Fraser River where it dumps out into the Gulf of Georgia. Nice little town, nice little motel, and a nice little meal. So it's a pleasant trip. I wanted to report on something that is exciting to me, being a techno nerd, because when I travel, I just use Echo Link to get back into PSRG. And I've had trouble over the years with dropping out and, you know, if the screen goes dark, it's all just linked to all kinds of problems. So I decided to see what All Star had to offer. And I just had all my travel open All Star mode on my phone. So I just did this thing called Web Transceiver Mode. All Star, oh, I'm sorry, this is DV Switch Mobile. I'm an Android app. DV Switch Mobile, you put it into Web Transceiver Mode, and it runs like a champ. I've had it running now for an hour and a half, sitting on PSRG, not dropping out. And it's full duplex, so I don't have to, it's not too hard to get in. And it works. I recommend it. DV Switch Mobile, Web Transceiver Mode, go do it. Back to you, baby. This is 27 WSP. November, All Star Node 16-2, located in Shelton, Washington. Well, Bill, that sounds like a great trip. You're up in British Columbia, going to Vancouver Island tomorrow. Yeah, that is such a beautiful area. I do know that area because my coworker, my counterpart at work, she and her husband plan to retire up in that area. They have been traveling out and about around lately up there trying to see where they would like to retire. So yeah, such a gorgeous area. I'm a little bit envious there. Bill, you have a lovely time. And yeah, sorry to hear about Echo Link. I know sometimes it works really well for people, and sometimes it doesn't work very well at all. So hopefully you will find the right thing for you, Bill, and it will keep working for you. You sounded great tonight, though. So whatever you were doing was working great. Have a fantastic time, Bill. And we will talk to you again soon. Okay, last but not least on my list here is Matt, KJ7WQI. It sounds like you're maybe in Seattle. Take it away, Matt. Hey, family man. All right. I did take down a note of what Bill said there because it does seem a little more convenient than Echo Link, a little more able to jump in there. It was good to be able to see what you guys were doing. I think it was good to see what you guys were doing. I think it was good to see what you guys were doing. I am here in town. It was quite a journey to get over here. We flew Boston to Chicago, sat around for four hours, and then flew Chicago over here to Seattle. And unfortunately, I'm in a hotel room tonight that does not have very good RF systems. I'm in a hotel room, and I'm going to be sitting in a hotel room where I can get my hands on my phone. And I'm going to be sitting in a hotel room where I can get my hands on my phone. I have very good RF capabilities. I was trying before the net got on, and I cannot hit the PSRD from here. I can hit a few other things, but not enough to be hurt. So I am on Echo Link tonight, unfortunately. And then tomorrow we fly from here to D.C. And then from D.C. back to Boston. But yeah, quite a day. We found out in the air on the way over here that my airline had had an outage with the weight and balance system, which basically grounded every airplane that we had trying to take off. It's kind of wild. It's going to kind of lift up some air travel for the next couple of days because those schedules are packed tightly. So if you are traveling by air for the next couple of days, just be aware there's likely to be a couple of delays. But we're hoping to get out of here tomorrow. I have to show up at the airport. I'm supposed to be on an airplane at 1215 tomorrow, so I'm going to be able to catch just the first couple minutes of the net. But I should be here for the 9 a.m. net in the morning, which will be nice. Other than that, that's all I got. It's been quite a day. I've got a good 17-plus hours here in Seattle to relax and enjoy the nice weather because it is beautiful. Pilot told us on the airplane, he's like, it's probably going to be rainy when we get in. Turns out it was beautiful outside when we got in, so I love that that turned around. Anyways, thank you for running that, Brooks and Megan. Hope everyone's doing well. All the numbers, 73, 33, 88, 22, I don't know. Are there other numbers? I need to come up with that. Anyways, KJ7WY. Well, Matt, I'm glad to hear you got here before the checks and balances system went down because that does not sound like that would be a fun delay after going from Boston to Chicago and Chicago to Seattle. So I'm glad you made it before that delay, and hopefully you'll be late enough tomorrow that it will kind of catch itself before you need to head back out. And at least you're going the short way home this time, Hi Hi, and not the long way, like you normally do through San Francisco. Safe travels back to Boston tomorrow and back to, I think, the humidity. Take care of yourselves, Matt. Get some rest and, yeah, bummer that sometimes when you get near the airport, you just can't get into the PSR repeater, which is always a bad day. What you mean there. Glad to hear you connected with Amy and Madeline while you were in town. It's fun to hear when people pass through. You take care. Safe travels back tomorrow, and we will talk to you again soon. Okay, with that, it is 9.20 p.m. I am K9 MLR Megan. Gonna pass it over to K9 and BDC to run the next list.

Yeah, hey, we've had a great day here at Deer Lake. Oh man, right now it was cool today. It was only high of 66 and right now it's raining. We are sitting outside under the umbrella and that's so cool to sit outside in a rain shower. But anyway, let's see what else. Oh, Jay was reading a book today and it had a new word in it that I have never seen before. Or read before and we talked about it and now I'm trying to incorporate it into my daily vocabulary. I was so frightened I was cowry wobbled. It just rolled up, cowry wobbled. It rolls off the tongue. It sounds like something that Amy could pick up on and do a whole lot of stuff with. Cowry wobbled. Oh man. Anyway, it was really cold today actually. The wind was blowing up. It was 62 degrees and the wind was blowing hard. And now it's 62 degrees and it's no wind so it was very pleasant outside tonight. So Amy, pick up on cowry wobbled. See what you can do with that one. That just sounds like it's right up your alley. Anyway, that's all I got here Brooks and Megan. And you guys have a great evening. 7th race everybody. This is Jim and Jay at Tier Lake K7. Cowry wobbled. Peace. Well, thank you there Jim. Cowry wobbled. Alright. I was trying to Google that. I couldn't quite figure out how to spell it. But you're right. That does sound like an Amy word and hopefully she's still listening and is picking up on that one right now. But yeah, it sounds like you got a nice day over there. Nice and cool with the rain. We had some rain here today also. And yeah, after all of the heat that we've had and the dryness, the rain is definitely welcome for a little bit of a day. And you know, it's going to keep some of the vegetation wet. Hopefully reduce some of the fires and things like that. Well good stuff there Jim. Thanks for stopping by. Radio waves over there to Jane as well. And you have a good rest of your night. Okay, next on the list is Rich. K3OE Rich. Have you got a fun antenna for us tonight? Over to you. Good evening Brooks and Megan. Yes indeed I certainly do and I posted a picture already. So anyway, it's a bicycle theme. So I got a bicycle wheel and handlebars on top. And SWR is not too bad. Round 2, 2.1, something like that. Anyway, we'll be right back. So I got a bicycle wheel and handlebars on top. And SWR is not too bad. Round 2, 2.1, something like that. Anyway, more than acceptable. So I was able to check in on it. So that's a good thing. Anyway, not much else going on here. My station manager, Paul, he got me out three times today. So he's making sure that I get my steps in. But it was a pleasant day for walking. So anyway, always great to hear both of you on the air.

Yeah I'm trying to pull up, let's see if you have a picture posted of the antenna. As Megan mentioned earlier, my station is completely disassembled, that's usually where we run the net from. But we're getting ready to paint the office so that everything is out of there and we're sitting over at Megan's station here. I have less monitors to work with so anyway, I'll take a look at it for sure but a bicycle wheel sounds like a lot of fun. And good work Polo getting Rich out there for lots of walks today and good for Polo for getting all that exercise also. Thanks for stopping by there Rich, you have a good rest of your evening. Alright, next up on the list, we might have a new ham here. We got KM7POM-BOW. Is this the first contact by chance? Bow, over to you. Yeah I don't really have much to say. I'm using a Bowfang K5-D Plus. KM7POM-BOW. Alright well the first bit of your transmission there was pretty rough and then it got better so I heard that you're using a Bowfang but I didn't hear is this your first contact? Yes, this is my first contact, KM7POM-BOW. Alright, very good there Bow, that's very exciting. Glad to have your first contact here be on the net with us. So we like to do a first contact award and we'll get you one of those over to you. If you wouldn't mind sending me an email, I'm looking you up on QRZ here, I see you don't have an email there but if you send me an email and my email is K9VDCB-D-C-B-D-C-P-S-R-G-D-O-R-G then I'll have your email and we can work on getting you a first contact award.

I went to a West Seattle, like the West Seattle Amateur Radio Club meetup, like it was at Lincoln Park. And then, I mean, I just got my license through them and I guess that was really it. KMS FPDLN. Alright, well very good, that's a good club there. We're familiar with those guys over there. So yeah, thanks for stopping into our net here, Bo. We do three nets a day, 9am noon and 9pm, and you're welcome to join in on any of them. So hope to hear you again here on the net soon, and you have a wonderful rest of your evening.

Perfect every time. Al Brooks and Megan, thank you for doing the net tonight. Yeah, I just got off the Poppa system down south. And every once a month, they do the power mode net. And essentially what you do is everybody checks in using different modes. And they'll take each mode one at a time, like all-star, D-star, then DMR, and then P25, and then Echo Link. And it tests out your system to see if everything works. And it gives you some pretty good practice to get all your different radios lined up in a row to be able to go on each different mode. So it's kind of a fun thing. It's the first Wednesday of every month at 8 PM on the Poppa system. So it's pretty cool. Anyway, here in the Bay Area today, it was sunny out. It hit about, at one point, about 85 degrees here. It got pretty warm. Turned on the air conditioning for a little bit. And definitely works. And does a good job of just running it. And the rest of the day, it's a nice temperature in here, which is great. The squirrels are very active out there. And I made sure they had water. And they had peanuts and nuts out there so they can keep up their strength. And watching them running in all sorts of directions is a lot of fun to watch. Yeah, that's about it, though. I just had some stuff to eat and was watching some baseball. And that was, oh yeah, the Tour de France, a couple of the sets of that. So that's about it. So let me hand it back to you next. AB 678. November, all star, node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. All right, good stuff there, Jeff. Yeah, I've heard you talk about that all-mode net before. That sounds like a good one. It's always a hard one for me to try to do right before, especially right before running this net on ABM. So I haven't ever managed to go jump on it. But I should try to do it one of these days. But it sounds like you probably make it a regular thing. So good stuff there. Sounds like a lot of fun. Good to hear that the squirrels are doing good. Nice 85 degree weather down there. It sounds like a good day watching baseball and the Tour de France. Yeah, good stuff there, Jeff. Thanks for stopping by. You have a great rest of your evening. OK, next up on the list, we had an I.O. from Peter, KU6RAX. Thanks for stopping by, Peter. Have a great evening. Next up, we're going to go to Scotland and talk to Kerry, MM0RKN. Good morning over there, Kerry. Good evening, everybody else that's on the net. And I'm just thinking about chocolate swirl cake that the VK station was talking about. I got bad at five a.m. in the morning. You have now got a Russian chocolate swirl cake. That sounded very nice. Yeah, we're just talking through a working week here. We're quite a mixture of wearers this week. The weather's been a little bit crazy. But we're going to be talking about the weather. We're going to be talking about the weather. This week, the weather's been a little bit crazy. We had a storm on Monday, quite a summer storm, heavy wind. The winds were about 80 miles per hour. But luckily, this time, the storm isn't through any damage. And you'll just start to feel the temperature fall whenever so slightly. At the moment, it's 15 degrees Celsius, which isn't bad for this time in the morning. But there's just that kind of change. You can see the water's starting to keep in there. It's definitely a bit darker in these mornings as well. And the visual eyes, just the usual, to be honest, being playing about with my all-star modes. And being quite a few contacts on FTE as well, but it's been 20 meters, which is always quite strange. Usually it's 15, 17 meters, but 20 meters seems to be the best plan for me at the moment. And also waiting on a new video arriving. I think it should arrive today or tomorrow. It's the new issue, FT1XF. And it had to be designed for a little while. I thought, yeah, what the heck, just get it. Wanted to do some photo work, some photo activation and get some field work done. And I do quite a lot of traveling to my sister's caravan and things. I bought the Op to my version, so I've got the Op 3 off the 100 watts. Or I can take that off and have the field version. So gently look forward to using the radio and seeing how well that performs. That's really it for me to take breaks, but everybody take care. It's great to hear everybody. And yeah, thirsty's not that bad when it arrives, I promise. Hi. But 73 and 88 and all the numbers to everyone and you know, I can't wait to get control."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T21:40:32+00:00","id":14806,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14805,"text":" Yeah, sorry about that storm earlier this week, but hopefully the weather's getting better over there. But yeah, I noticed this morning when I got up, I was like, it feels darker. I did get up a little earlier today than I normally do, but it's like, kind of made it feel extra dark. But anyway, wow, new radio, that FT-X1F and the Optima version, I've been eyeing that myself. So yeah, hopefully you have an awful lot of fun with that radio. That sounds really cool. I'm a little jealous here. Yeah, you got the amp there for when it's on your desk, and then the portable mode where you take the face off and go out and do PODA and whatnot. So very good, that's very exciting. Congratulations there, and hope you have a ton of fun with that. Thanks for stopping by, Kerry. You have a great rest of your day there. All right, it's 9.37 PM, I'm Brooks K9BDC. Next we're going to go talk to Simeon KJ7CKL. Good evening, Simeon, I'm in Fort Monroe, Olympic Peninsula. I've only been on this net once a year ago.

I got you on the list and I will come back for your report in order here. So I want to head back up to the top because that is quite the healthy list again to Madeline KJ7 and UW33. Madeline will we get to see you at Green Lake this weekend? Hello Brooks and Megan and hello to The Net. I am going to be there this weekend. I'm super excited about the ice cream social and the general celebratory spirit that we're going to have. I'm super excited about that. And it was really exciting to hear a new ham join The Net tonight so I just want to say a big shout out and a welcome to the new ham. Well, I have been listening to The Net. It's been on in the background and I've been working on a little server that I have at my place. And it was really quite an adventure tonight because I got this server up and running. It's a Linux server. I got it running a few months back and I've updated it from time to time with whatever software updates blah blah blah. And then I took off on vacation and I was like oh I'm just going to turn that thing off. I'm not using it. Nobody was using it while I'm gone. So I turned it off while on vacation and I turned it back on. And I have this thing all super secure. The disk has encryption. It has encryption on boot. It has encryption on the disk. It's super encrypted Megan. And I loaded it up and I put in the password and it's like sorry that's not the right password. And I was like huh I thought that was the right password. And then I tried another password and another and another and I was like oh no I forgot the password was so secure I couldn't get in. And you know it only lets you do three attempts before it forces you to reboot the whole thing again. Well it took me about I don't know maybe 40, 50 attempts and I don't even know how many. Divide that by three for how many reboots. Too many. It was too many. And I finally finally figured it out. This is the problem with super secure servers. And you know the thing is there's nothing even on there that needs to be so secure. But I just you know I really liked the idea of having a super secure server. You know like any good ham lady operator out there I want to have a super secure server. So anyway I've learned my lesson and now I've written down the super secure password and I've hope that now I can put it on the wall next to the server. So good to go. Okay well I'm looking forward to seeing everybody this weekend and I'm enjoying the net. KJ7NUW back to net control. Well Madeline I'm glad to hear that you are going to be there this weekend. It will be so great to see you. And I'm glad to hear that you have been listening to the net because you have come up a couple times. So thanks for jumping in and adding to the conversation. And I have to laugh at your encrypted password. Oh that's so funny. And I love that you resorted to a sticky note next to it on the wall. Not even a note on your phone. That's awesome. I love that. Just make sure the sticky note doesn't lose it's sticky and then your sticky note falls and then you don't know where your password is again. So just I wouldn't know that from experience or anything Madeline. But just yeah. So we're looking forward to seeing you like I said and we will talk to you again soon and see you this weekend. Have a wonderful rest of your week Madeline. It is 947pm K9MLR Meghan. We had an I.O. from Jesse. KK7 BIN. Have a wonderful rest of your evening Jesse. And now we're going to go talk to Steven. Sorry I mispronounced your name earlier. 4G1NYS. How's it going in the Philippines Steven? Alright. Good afternoon from here in the Philippines and good evening Rebecca. This is 4G1NYS. My name is Steven from here in Batangas city. It is now 13 minutes away from 1 in the afternoon here. Just coming up and supporting the Puget Sound with Peter Nett. Actually I don't have anything more to add from all that you're talking about the ice cream. It has been the topic since yesterday. I'm anticipating the ice cream so that the two guys are going to be having. Enjoy the sweets and maybe a little bit for me. A little bit of my own dessert during our lunch break. 7 please. I'll send it back to you. 4G1NYS. Well thank you for coming by and saying hi Steven. That is always nice even if you don't have a lot to share it's still good to hear people's voices and yes go find yourself a delicious dessert. Bummer that you will miss our ice cream social but yes have one in the spirit with us over there in the Philippines. You take care and have a wonderful rest of your evening. Alright now we're going to talk to Elaine N3OMO 33. Elaine. Well hello Megan. Thank you very much. This is N3OMO. I hope the newlyweds, you and Brooks are doing well. Things are going well here although it's been very very hot. We've been up to like 100 and 102 degrees believe it or not. And it's definitely a heat warning and we've had spots of rain not all over the whole area but certain parts of the city. We've had rain. Mike Raub went to Walmart today. My brother. And he went to come out of the store and it was like a monsoon. He said it was really bad. He couldn't even get to his car. And he waited 20 minutes and the rain stopped and the sun came out just like that. And when we got back home here told him we didn't have any rain at all. And that happens a lot around here. One section of the city or town can be really having quite a storm and the other part of it nothing. So that's what happened today. I went and got my new pair of glasses today. My everyday ones are a new rose gold. They're really pretty. A little bit bigger than what I had before but you don't know because you haven't seen a picture. And my sunglasses are a public color. They look kind of cool too. So lots of approval. So that's a good thing. Anyway not much else is going on. Just wanted to stop in and say hi. And seventy three eighty eight to all all the numbers. Love you all. And to real women. Well thank you for those wishes. Veritlaine Brooks and I are doing well. We took on another house project. So we are in the middle of that and I'm laughing because it always seems like it's going to be a small project when we talk about it. And then as you know Elaine it never is a small project. So that's what we've been up to. You know just doing all our silly things that we like to take on. Bummer to hear that it's been so hot down there but glad to hear there is some spots getting some rain. Unfortunately it's monsoons but better than no rain at all. That's what I have to say because yeah it was pretty hot here and we had no rain and the fires were kicking up pretty good. So I know how important that rain is with the hot weather and I can't wait to see these new glasses and sunglasses on. These sound pretty stylish Elaine and they sound very you. So you might have to throw a picture up on your QRZ there so that we can all see that. You take care Elaine. Have a wonderful rest of your Thursday morning and we will talk to you again soon. Alright now we're going to go talk to John W7 JSM. How's it going John?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T21:58:21+00:00","id":14812,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14811,"text":" W7JSM, are you still out there or were you IO and I missed it?

So I've been fairly busy today making sure everybody gets some exercise and fed and all that good stuff. Now I'm kind of relaxing and watching TV and listening to the net. So I just practice a lot of guitar today too. So tomorrow is my next lesson so I was making sure that I got plenty of practice in. I've been practicing every day. I went through everything as a recap today just to make sure I'm ready for tomorrow's lesson. So anyway, having a good night here. I hope everybody else is. W7JSM. Well John, that sounds like a very busy day. Not one dog but three dogs. Yeah, I always say after two dogs it's a lot of dogs to keep busy. Glad to hear you kept them all busy today and got them all exercised and entertained. You probably entertained yourselves too. Glad to hear you kept yourself busy on this rainy day with the pups there. You practiced some guitar for your lesson tomorrow. That'll be exciting. So you have fun doing that tomorrow John. Maybe we'll get to see you at the Ice Cream Social this weekend. That would be fun. You take care and we'll talk to you again soon. Alright, it is 9.54pm. I'm K9MLR Meghan and now we're going to go talk to Brian, KE7KZH."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-06T22:00:18+00:00","id":14813,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14812,"text":" Brian, KE7KZH, over to you. Hey, sorry about that. I had to reconnect. Ah, KE7KZH, Brian here in Marysville, Washington. Sorry, I didn't know you actually got my call. I keyed up, but then never said my call sign, so you must have been looking at the screen. So I actually wasn't even sure I was on the list. Anyway, I've been, sorry, I'm all frazzled. I'm, let's see, what is it, 10 o'clock? I have, I'm just about to finish 16 hours of work straight. I did take a quick shower there. It took a few minutes to microwave some food and eat something, but other than that, I am just exhausted here. And I'm actually not even done working here. I'm still on the conference call, but it's being mostly quiet here, but hopefully wrapping this up soon. So, anyway, just wanted to say hi, and I feel like I probably had more to say, but my brain is frazzled. So hi, hi, thanks for running the net. Hello to everyone out there, and hopefully I'll catch you down the log here real soon. So with that, I'll just send it back to KE7KZH. No worries there, Brian. We saw your node light up, so I threw you on the list. And I don't know if I forgot to acknowledge you. I might have since there was a three pile up there again. So, glad to hear you're still surviving after 16 hours of work. That is a pretty brutally long day. And you did take a shower and get some food, so I mean, it's probably not the best. But you did it, and that's the important thing. So you take care there, Brian. Great to hear you on a Wednesday night. And hopefully that call will wrap up for you soon so that you can go get some rest. It sounds like you very much need it. So you take care, and it was so great to hear a little bit about your trips, or your trip from your check-in. There we go, that's more appropriate. So glad to hear you had a great time. I can't wait to hear more about it soon. Talk to you again soon, Brian. Alright, last but not least on this list is the KF0ULU. Jeff, take it away. This is KF0ULU. Good evening, Megan and everybody on that. Y'all can come on in late night. I'm listening in to talk to Night Dream Social Work. I was still around last night looking for some contacts up in Alaska because I will be up there later this month around the 22nd. And I was trying to look for some of the best frequencies to try to come back to Missouri. I'm a new AM. I got my check back in the 4th of June, and I passed my journal this past Saturday. So I'm ready to dibble down at the HF and try to go all in and try to talk back to Missouri from Alaska. So this is KF0ULU.

Had some CalD-B skewers and Caesar salad, it was quite lovely. Not much else I can mention on the radio, but anyway, it was a great night. Had some June shine heart kombucha, that's very interesting. I think it was maybe from QFC or something like that. Anyway, that was pretty tasty. Just headed back to the boat, it's a nice temperature outside. Enjoyed the rain this morning, maybe we'll get a little bit more tomorrow I think. Not too much else is up, hopefully get some plumbing done. And eventually fix the leak in my boat. So I'll send it back to you, thanks again. 73 is everyone out there. Whiskey 7, Lima, Charlie, Oscar. Alright, good stuff there Will Coe. Sounds like you had a good time tonight out there in West Seattle. CalD-B skewers, sounds amazing. Yeah, the rain is coming, I know when I left for work this morning I walked outside and I smelled the rain and that was kind of like, ooh it's been a minute since I smelled the rain. I didn't mind it too much today. But yeah, I do like the warmer, drier weather. But sometimes we need to have rain. Anyway, good luck getting the plumbing fixed and the leak. Yep, got to get through those things eventually. Mobile safe out there, Will. Thanks for the call. Next up we've got a recheck from Amy, KB9IQX. Well thanks for taking my recheck, Brooks. And thanks to Jim for introducing us to Collywobble. That's a delightful word, very good word. I thought to myself, oh that sounds very British. And I looked it up and I was like, oh yes, it's from British. I thought to myself, oh that sounds very British. And I looked it up and I was like, oh yes, it's from British. I shall have to incorporate it into my vocabulary forthwith. Anyway, in exchange, I would like to offer the simple word yarrow. Some of us may know it as a plant. Or you know, a geographical location, yarrow point. However, I have periodically used it to indicate direction. And you use it when you want to indicate the direction of something where you're not really sure what that direction is. So you could say something like, oh yes, Smith Avenue, yes, Smith Avenue, Rongaro, burst that out for a couple of blocks before turning off. And then you just leave it at that. No further explanation is necessary. Arguably, it's more confusing than helpful. But it is funny. Maybe I'm IQX. More confusing than helpful. Yarrow, okay, I'll try to remember that one. Thanks for coming back. Glad you heard the collywobbles comment from earlier. Good stuff, Amy. Thanks for stopping by with the recheck. Alright, any more check-ins for the 9 o'clock net? Call Saturday. 4-1 November Yankee Sierra, 4-2-1, NYS, only recheck. Alright, Steven, why don't you go ahead with your recheck. 4-2-1, NYS. I'm going to Brooks Cade in PDC. I'd like to ask a question. Since your all-star load is only 4 digits, do we have to put in two extra zeros in front of it before 2-4-6-2 for those who want to come on? You know, I am not sure. I don't think so, but I'm not positive. Hold on, let's see, I'm getting... You know what, I'm not sure. Maybe if there's someone else out there that knows they can come in with the recheck. No, I think you can just do the 2-4-6-2. Okay, good night to Brooks. I will also wait for other replies. See, mostly all-star nodes are the earlier ones are 4 digits and the current ones already have 6 digits. That's why I'm curious if we have to add two additional zeros in front of 2-4-6-2 so that it would qualify. Thank you very much, Brooks. You can take a reply. I'll send it to you. Alright, thank you there, Steven. Yeah, if anyone else out there knows, maybe they can come in with a check-in and let us know. Alright, thanks for stopping by with the recheck. Any more check-ins for the 9 o'clock net? I'll sign a name. Alpha Bravo 6, Mike Bravo, recheck. Jeff, AB6MB, I have a feeling you might know the answer to Steven's question. Yeah, there's no additional digits needed. 2-4-6-2 works fine, but as more people use it, they have expanded node numbers. But, no, I just need to do 2-4-6-2 and that's it, thankfully. Back to that AB6MB. Alright, thank you so much for that clarification, Jeff. Yeah, that was what I was thinking, but my all-star node is currently packed up and not on, so I wasn't able to pull it up on my phone and look on the spot. So, thank you for that. Steven, 4D1-NYS, did you hear that response? Thanks, Brooks, and thank you, Nick Callum, for the reply. Do you need note on that? And just in case some friends of mine would come up to the all-star, I'll say to them that 4 digits is fine. Thank you, Brooks. Over to you. This is repeater station.

So I took an extra day off and I drove down here at lunchtime to go on the roads when it's nice and quiet and yeah, it all went like a breeze, so you've got to leave at the right time when you come to Melbourne now these days, you've just got to leave at the right time and it's always worthwhile. Anyway, but tomorrow morning there's a local net on 160 metres AM and I've been listening to this net for about five years and I listen on one of the local, on one of the local, on the SDR receivers which isn't too far away from where all the guys are.

I'm sure they're out there but I actually have not known anybody that has and I'm kind of interested on these guys' antennas. These are pretty much short and quarter wave antennas.

I can't remember the model number of the tuner, but anyway, it was a multiband vertical anyway. So that's what we use for the contest that we won. What Steve has set up, which we'll be using tomorrow morning, is a resident, a one-way, it's a multiband 160 metre antenna with a capacity head at the top. So that's what that is. He runs a tuner at the feed point at the base and lots and lots of ground radials, obviously lots of them, but relatively short due to the size of his yard. But he gets that alright. He runs a 100 watts carrier, which is kind of what you need to run on this net because that's what they all run. Anything less than that you might be struggling a little bit.

I've kind of been wanting to make one, Jeff, but I've got so many things that I want to do. I need to erect this 160-metre vertical first before I even play around with anything else 160-related, but as far as I know, they're fed with balance line and it's like a dipole, but it is fed with balance line. So, um... But, yeah, I've never bothered to look into the specs too much, Jeff, to be honest, but that's what a lot of them run at Marconi Tees. So, yeah, but... But pretty much a lot of them on this net run verticals because obviously, once it sits here, it doesn't go as far during the day as what it does at night time. So, um... So, during the day, it's all about your ground losses. So running a vertical with lots of radials to try and eliminate your ground losses. So as you get out a bit further on 160 during the day at night time, at the band, it propagates completely differently. You can work interstate, not a problem, at night time. They're like 80 metres. Very much like 80 metres. Um, yeah, a lot of the guys, a lot of them run vertical, and it's all about the counterpoise to try and reduce those, the ground losses. So it makes it harder with an antenna large. You need room for radials and you need to be relatively close to the guys to work. Where I live, it's just too far away and it's pretty... It's not impossible, but it's hard to do. AB6MB, VK3KK. Um, yeah, I guess you are dealing with verticals. You know, some way you can, you know, with the capacity hats, other tricks like that, you can, you know, give you a chance for working guys out of the area. Yeah, I can't get it. Yeah, so yeah, by doing that, you can cut your losses down and then try to get enough power left over to get out there and then work the different stations. Yeah, good job, though. Yeah, like I said, I don't know if anybody really talked to it, actually. It works 160. And you describe what you're doing, it just all sounds like really good engineering on the antennas. So yeah, definitely you need a vertical instead of a dipole, you know, because that's just going to be really low to the ground and most of your, you know, radiation is going to go straight up around a vertical, you know. They'll come out at least somewhat of a decent angle going out that way.

He's currently got some P25 repeaters set up on the uni-cast where it's just two repeaters that all are linked together, and it's done via IP, via the internet. I can't sort of go into it too technical because I'm not an IP kind of person, but he's done that, and what he's looking at is going multicast, where we can run as many repeaters as we like together, but he's doing some tests using a 4G SIM card because on these repeater sides, we don't have some of them. We don't have internet access on them, and he's doing a test where he's trying to see if it's possible if we can run a 4G SIM at some of these sites and use that to link to the other repeaters on P25. So we're at the early stages of testing that at the moment, but if that can be done, it's going to be an amazing thing to link them all together. But currently... So Plan A is to go multicast and link, I don't know, probably five or six of them all together. If that's not possible due to the 4G, we'll have to have probably three systems of two repeaters linked together with the uni-cast, which will be OK for a Plan B.

So I'm not too surprised that you're talking about using unicast or multicast to link your repeaters, because it works really well in All Star, and it has done a really good job.

The gear is kind of expensive for the handhelds, but there's still got to be more and more of them out and about that are cheaper from what I understand.

Anyway but yeah look we'll see how we go but anyway if you remember the talkgroup 10400 and that's what we've got one of our unique task systems sitting on at the moment. So on 10400 the Pacific talkgroup, I'm not quite sure if we're going to stay on 10400 or whether if we're going to in the long term change to another talkgroup. But currently it's on 10400 there anyway. But anyway, what else have I got to tell you? I've got two more All Star nodes now up and running as well. I've got two more nodes running so I've got a total of six nodes now running. Call me crazy but I've got six nodes on and working so two of them are dual nodes, Eco, Link and All Star. And the other four are just All Star only but anyway it's all going IP now these days. I sort of wish there was more activity on the local RF only side of things but they're really using it to get thinner and thinner Jeff as time goes on.

This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November Quebec November All Star node... Yeah, yeah it's AB6MB here. Yeah you're right about the, I think Link and the repeaters is really the way of the future. I'm assuming that's what we're kind of talking about. But yeah, because that way you've got more territory covered and more people so you can get the usage up that way. Yeah that's really big, having the Link repeaters and like Papa's system has got how many we have, eight repeaters with D-Star, DMR, P25 and what's the other one? Anyway, but yeah by Linking it gives your usage up. But yeah that's been one of the things people have been complaining about repeaters for a while that there are a lot of them out there but they're not being used. So I just think that Linking them is over IP and that's a good way to just cover more area and have more people available and hopefully get your usage up.

If it's whoever owns the repeater have to be on board. If they don't want IP access on their repeaters, well then you can't do nothing about it.

So I'm actually going through my repeater back at home and I'm using the DV switch app at the moment. And coming through PSRG, it will start that way. So that's what I'm doing but yeah, it just works really well anyway. So with the advantage of having your own repeaters and your own nodes, you can do what the hell you like with it. Which is if you're trying to, you obviously got to convince the client board or the owner of the repeater to put such a thing on their device. Some don't want to do it.

And they'll have big wing systems that are connected to them, just tons of All-Star nodes. And that's the one, right on the line, it's going blank. But there's a few of them out there that have been coming into the PSRG. And to a point, they had to work out some way of widening the load, just to have just one pie, try to carry all the traffic. I think they've gone to multiple pies. They're having a heck of a time there for a while. But the same thing, I think, with the Papa system. I think I've seen a lot of systems connected into them on nets. But that's a dew drop in is a good example, when that thing moves around during the day, it connects to different systems automatically. And just spreads the load and just has more availability.

And, of course, because I've got... My repeater runs off a Raspberry Pi 3B Plus. My transportable node, which has the ham VoIP image, runs off another Raspberry Pi 3B Plus. And the two ASL nodes, the Horst-Arling nodes, was designed by a friend of mine who came up with his own design. And it works also externally. The two recent nodes that I've done will be using a DellWise computer, a DellWise PC, instead of a Pi, much cheaper. I'll have to send you a picture. The DellWise, it's in a nice black pelican case, and I've got an N-type connector, female N-type connector on the side with a little patch cable which goes straight to the transceiver. I'm using a Simico SRM 9000 radio, and it fits very well. Tim was the designer of this, gave me the wiring diagram and the pin layout, and I soldered that up, that type of thing. And the good thing is, with the DellWise computer, they run on a voltage from about 19 volts down to 10 volts, I think. I think they go as low as 10 volts, Jeff. So having a common, same voltage, being 13.8, to power the radio, it powers the DellWise computer, not a problem. So no need for any type of conversion or anything like that. It's all the same voltage, unlike a Raspberry Pi where it runs off 5 volts and you've got to have a separate supply for it.

But yeah, we'll see. I would like to put this behind us, you know, run and get on with it. But you know, if it needs to be done, we should just do it and do it quickly, you know? Back to you. Yeah, Colleen Maxwell. Well, first off, Bill and Hillary Clinton are subpoenaed for that, which is gonna be the first part of it. And I think that they're not gonna be in until October. So it's not gonna be that quick. And Barack Obama is gonna be subpoenaed also. You know, they'll fight it, but you know, what they did, you know, that reversed a whole agenda that, you know, the American people voted for, they need to be held accountable. It practically consumed, you know, Trump's first term in office to the point where, you know, he never got anything done. You know, now he has, because all of those people are out, and you know, there's still some left, and they're getting them out as they present themselves, reveal themselves, because they're all being watched like a hawk now. I don't think there's gonna be much about Epstein. In fact, the victims, the underage victims of Epstein have individually filed to block efforts for it to come out. But I think that was brought on by, you know, other powers like the Democrats, part of the Democrats' defense. You know, they could say they want it to come out, and we're hiding something, and then they turn around, and then do something to try to block it from coming out. So that they can keep the spear, you know, the latest spear on Trump alive about his involvement. The fact was, you know, Epstein was a hedge fund manager, and hundreds of people had, you know, connections with him that were never on the island, and hundreds of people were on the island that had connections with him, and didn't know what was going on back to him. Yeah, so that's what Tershwin says. So Tershwin and his wife were friends with Epstein, and flew on his plane, actually, to the island, and was at the parties in Manhattan. And another place that he had, actually, were the states. But it seemed like there were two worlds there, you know? And because you were with him, doesn't mean you were in the other world. And so I often looked into Epstein. I didn't find much, you know? But the idea is, when he left, I don't think, he was a high school teacher for a well-known elite high school here in Manhattan, and he was about to get thrown out, something to do with a young lady, a young girl, right? And then he got into an investment firm, I don't recall the name of it, and then he started out on his own. But what I think he was building was tax shelters, you know? Tax advisement, but it was really tax shelters. And they never found any money laundering with cartels or anything like that, but it could have been money laundering for avoidance of taxes, I suspect, but I don't have any evidence. And this other life that we're talking about is something that I don't think a lot of people really do. It was two different people, I think. And the other thing is that, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do think that he was two different people. The other thing is, after he was in jail, this guy, I know this with MIT, gave money to MIT, and they had accepted it, and I believe it was after he was in jail. So there's another thing, you know, the guy goes to jail. I'm here in Florida, right? And you're still receiving money from him, and you're still donating for his causes. It doesn't make much sense to me, you know, Ron."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T03:41:08+00:00","id":14879,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14878,"text":" I still think the factory names that it's going to be a disappointment. And because I'm reading some of the names of the people that were on the island, you know, you can't believe that they had massages with underage masseuses, I'll call them. And I don't think they would have even been on the island had they known even. Possibly the, and from listening to Alan Derr Edewitz as well, I get the impression that the underage masseuses were reserved for Epstein. And maybe his hedge fund manager friends, you know, maybe a small part of them could have, like David Copperfield, Naomi Campbell, Angela Jolie, all on the island. Now Alan Derr to his admittedly got a consensual massage from an adult masseuse. However, Kevin Spacey was on the island and I know he had a history of abusing. But, you know, he wouldn't want women, though. So he might not have gotten anything from Epstein in that respect. Now Bill Clinton was there. And my question, Prince Andrew, Duke of York was there and he kind of got in trouble for his association. But we'll never know, you know, what he did. But Al Gore, I can't believe that, but that could come out later. David Copperfield, so, you know, I mean, rules are available, you know, who's been to Epstein Island all over the place. I have to have this short one here to tell you about. Like I said, I don't think, I think that this part of the first phase is going to be a disappointment."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T03:48:55+00:00","id":14880,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14879,"text":" Yeah, I mean that's what I think from what Dershowitz says as well. But you know as far as hedge funds, it wasn't really like a hedge fund, I mean it was a very private hedge fund right? And only billion dollar clients. And you know it wasn't like the traditional hedge funds where you have many people, he just had exclusive, and I'm not sure what he did within the hedge fund you know? Or is it hedge fund? It's sort of sketchy you know. Back to you. Yeah and this is just taking place as I said to do as much harm as all the other things that were done to Trump. And his involvement with Epstein is not as rich as a lot of people think. Mainly because he was never to the island. The Times, Epstein, and Colleen Maxwell was in his company. Trump's wife at the time, Marlon Naples, and their daughter was there also. So they never had anything to begin with. So when this is out of the way they're gonna you know maybe even tie this into the Russian collusion that was ordered by Obama. Which they, you know we knew all the time but now we have the documents because the right people were in the FBI now that were hiding it. And wouldn't produce the documents Congress requested and were saying well it's still under investigation so we can't comment on it. And then when they made a criminal referral to the DOJ they were also in on it. It's enough espionage here to make some of the most dangerous movies. Yeah that's all the ingredients for that. So I looked this up you know it says his business model as you publicly described he works on a flat fee and not a percentage like traditional hedge funds. He allegedly managed money for clients but no credible list of clients have ever been confirmed. Aside from Lex Westa the founder of Albrands which is owned by Victoria's Secret. The SEC filings and standard disclosures were confirmed. No SEC filings or standard disclosures were confirmed to affirm its activity. No public track record of trades, performance, or investments. Almost no one on Wall Street could name a specific deal or financial strategy he used. His extreme wealth assays private, Young Private Islands and Jet seemed disproportionate to what he explained by a single known client Wexler. Some speculate that his fund was a front possibly black male, money laundering, or illicit financial activity. I don't think it's black male I think it's more money laundering you know. And they looked into the illicit financial activity. So this seems to me having my Colombian lashes on right that it's probably money laundering you know. Because they did do an investigation to see if he was with cartels and there was never any evidence of that. So this was just you know basically money laundering for tax evasion purposes. Back to you. Well this is either one. It's definitely being on the right track. I wanted you know to bring that out. It's so much you know a lot of the people that are on the net that starts at 730 today need to know all of this. But since it's so bulky you know I couldn't ever get it all in there. Some of the people that are on there it's like you know when you tell them something it's like you know they won't dispute it and they'll just ignore it. It's like you never even said anything. Rather than orange you can adjust that. It's like they have a block they don't want to acknowledge even what you say. Because it's too big of a risk that you know they might have to admit they're wrong. It's a weird mechanism there that goes on. So I enjoy getting on. Just someone you know that knows about people.

So there's a couple of, you know, justice as the general term is with, you know, generally it's going to be in the polls. And it's going to bite them in the tush with this reelection.

And, um, I hate to, um, you know, I hate what this does to the presidency, do you understand? And, um, the presidency, the image of our presidency is much more important than a president.

And get it behind us, because I don't want to, uh, damage too much the presidency, you know what I mean? I mean, do it quickly. Back to you. One man shouldn't have so much power, yet, um, there are laws in place to give him that for just this purpose. So, you know, it's just a moot point that, uh, you know, they want to call him a dictator. A dictator makes up laws that don't exist, like some of these oversight judges. You know, one oversight judge misquoted the Constitution and its ruling in order to block Trump with something. And, um, I imagine, you know, the second quarter appeals will catch it. But, uh, he, uh, in the Constitution, uh, where it was read that he quoted, uh, his, uh, uh, three commas, and he made it a one-on sentence. So, uh, he could put more teeth into his ruling, and he knew what he was doing. But, uh, there's still those people there that are, um, in, uh, posed to, or, or, or are agreeable with how we were so mismanaged, how the United States was so mismanaged. Uh, they, they might have been benefiting in one way or another from that, uh, mismanagement. Um, it was like, you know, you, they didn't know how to run a lemonade stand, and you couldn't trust them with the profits. But, uh, maybe they were smarter than that. They just ran the lemonade stand in a way that, that, you know, where this analogy falls to, uh, profit from it instead of, uh, what those, uh, programs that were leading were actually supposed to, uh, provide.

And words are important. You cannot call Trump a dictator. That's not to say the definition of a dictator. I don't understand. I don't understand that at all. He's not a dictator. Dictators don't act the way Trump does. Dictators want to destroy institutions. And essentially they want to destroy institutions, bring anarchy so they take over the country without institutions. Or they just manipulate the root fear. They change the constitution every ten minutes. That's another dead giveaway. But words have meanings. The other thing is, I hear a lot on the net, the Canadian guys against, or even Canada against, the statement that Trump made that he should be the 51st state. Well, you know, 25% of Canadians actually said it wasn't a bad idea. But I'm not getting at that point. The point that I'm getting at is, a lot of people take Trump's words too seriously. And I think Trump is like an actor. And he's somewhat of a comedian at times. If you read his book, which I did many years ago, you see that one of the careers he was looking into was acting. He did it in his Yerfariyat series. He has somewhat of a sense of humour. He likes to rile people. And they take him too seriously. I simply think it's so emotional and maybe even childish, the reaction that people have against Trump. And that's why they don't have any arguments. They've got to take away the emotional part of it and then start defining terms. And then discussing those terms in a context. And take the other side before they discuss. Back to you. The point of view that they're entertainers and he's an entertainer too. So they know of him as somebody that, well, how could he run a country? They neglect to give any credit because they don't know better to the fact that he's been a shrewd businessman his whole life in spite of the other criticisms. And that's what they do. They take your strengths and then they criticise them so that there's nothing left. And then you don't have an argument because they were in total disagreement. Even though, you know, in his businesses, he has supported a private jet and some awesome places to live. And I don't have to make excuses for anything of his success. That could be construed as a failure. Why, you know, say he's a dictator or breaking the law. And what it is is they were breaking the law. They were the dictators. And it's a good way to confuse things by accusing him of what they're guilty of. Sometimes I have a better way of describing that. Back to you. I think this name calling, I don't think they're dictators either. You know, Ron, I think we have to define what a dictator is. Both are not dictators. I don't think Obama's a dictator. I don't think any of these guys are dictators. But I think the other thing about Trump is when you read his books, he likes to win, you know. And he'll do anything to win. He just likes to win. He started off with a big capital, a capital of two cents, a political capital from his father in our arch city, a real capital. And he takes risks. That's the other part of Trump. He takes a lot of risk.

And even when he was going to bankruptcy, people wanted him to be successful because, you know, he's a man of his word, I believe. And another part that I love about him is that he was able to build in Manhattan, and Manhattan is completely corrupt. You have unions and you have the government, the building department of the boroughs, completely corrupt, and also unions. And he was able to deal with those folks, you know. And even getting into Atlantic City. So he's a shrewd guy, you know, he's very shrewd. You know, when he bought his first property in Atlantic City, he spoke with the FBI, you know, he asked for an interview. But yeah, he's a shrewd guy. He comes up with the access and he came up with the access too with the second presidency. You know, so you can't deny that. Yeah, Trump beat Ed Koch, the Democrat mayor at the time when he took him to court. And the casino bankruptcy was because the government had crashed the economy and everybody was hurting. And what hurts more is entertainment. People spend less money on entertainment. So they don't really have much to say unless they don't know better. I know of the corruption in New York and Illinois and in California. They want to operate like their own countries. A lot of people fail to realize that the laws on the book, if Trump wanted to, he could go in and burn down all their marijuana farms if he wanted to. He could declare, he could invoke the Insurrection Act and go in there with the military. He's not going to do that. So in a way that they're complaining, the powers he is using, he even has more and could do those two things if he wanted, if he found it necessary. So I don't think they really have anything to complain about. My guttural response would be, I would want him to burn everything down, but that's not Trump. See, Trump and the Republican that Trump is, he believes it's state rights. So let the state govern that. I think that's what he believes. Let the states think terrific about education and just other things. So I think because of state rights, let the states decide abortion and everything else. I would like them, I would love to see them burn down all the marijuana plants in the United States especially. I spoke to the, you know, in Colombia. We had the biggest embassy in the world in Colombia. And many of my buddies, because their kids go to school where my kids go, 10% of the school, of the private school is from American personnel from the embassy. And so you make a lot of friends with the Justice Department, especially the DEA. And they always say, you know, having marijuana, you know. They don't believe that there should be marijuana. I'm projecting the United States will be legalized, you know. And I agree with them and they have their own arguments that drugs begets ghettos. And that's worse for society than just fighting it. And so I reserve my judgment for them. I have them make my judgment. But yeah, that's the thing, you know. That's the thing with Trump. I don't think I would want him to be my friend. I wouldn't want to be friends with him, you understand? But I do like him as president. Back to you. Getting back to the hearings that are upcoming with the subpoenas that have gone out, we're going to have like James Clapper and Merrick Garland. And the special prosecutor that got the impeachment going for Trump on the phony accusations that were started by Hillary Clinton. And was used under orders from Barack Obama. It's going to be interesting because, you know, people's lives were destroyed over that. Attorneys lost their law license over that. You know, that were good people. That should have never happened. And as George said, they took Trump on misdemeanors and elevated them to felonies because they were misdemeanors. Some government corruption needs to be brought out as much as possible. Even though it's going to be ignored because people don't want to believe. But one thing's for sure, they're not going to be able to fix elections like they were in the past. All the IP addresses that appeared in the 2020 election. And, you know, they were showing them that all they could do was deny, deny, deny. But that's nothing. Are you saying they weren't there? I mean, they were. That's not a. You have to have more ammunition and they have it now so that they can't deny it. This is repeater station kilo kilo. You know, I heard everything and you were something like you were saying that they weren't. And then I don't know if you are keyed or timed out if you just continue that. Yeah, I get close to the end here on the time I have. You know that when there wasn't election fraud, they claimed there was because the candidate they wanted wasn't elected. And then when there was election fraud, 2020, they said that there wasn't because they got the candidate that they wanted elected. You know, through that, in fact, even Joe Biden knew he was an accessory to it. He didn't facilitate it. He just found himself a big advantage of it. They had all of the IP addresses that were showing up in the election systems, you know, from foreign countries that were hacking the election system and to vote and and deducting votes from Trump and adding them to Biden. I witnessed it myself because I was up that night and I saw the votes before they took the system down, saying it crashed. When a system crashes, it goes down. It doesn't start deducting votes off of one candidate and adding them to another while they're still adding them to another. I just stood up. I looked at that and I said, you know, what's going on here? How is Trump getting votes going backwards? But let me ask you, Rob, was that challenge in court? Yes, it was. It was in Congress. On the oversight for irregularities in the 2020 election. And the reason why nothing ever came of it was because it went to the Democrat controlled Department of Justice. And they just sat on it and and said, well, we're still investigating it. While everybody that was on the outside of what was going on there just kept saying that, you know, we were crazy, it never happened. You didn't you didn't see that, man. But from that movie. I like, you know, they controlled my mind. But let me ask you something. I'll let the DOJ can bring that action. Can't drop for or even a citizen. Can't you bring back the court and is it there another mechanism that's not the DOJ?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T04:14:02+00:00","id":14885,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14884,"text":" We're going to have a pause now.

Because it's illegal. If the people want it, keep looking for it, and want it all sort of punished me for taking it, keep it, trying to keep it, or, you know, maybe they wouldn't have found out that I spent it and I couldn't give it all back to them. You know, I might be in big trouble there. So that wouldn't be something I'd want to keep.

I went to high school with a fella named George Bosque. I remember he was working for Brinks. He was one of the armored car drivers. Or security. I don't know if he was driving or not. He took from the armored car almost 2 million dollars. I remember this well. I remember him well in high school. And after graduation, I remember hearing in 1980 that after he took the money he went on a coast to coast spending spree. And he ended up passing away from possible drug overdose. And all the money was spent. But they say he was captured and was sentenced to 15 years and paroled. So he served time and he got out. And I guess that was after the suicide. I didn't know that. I just heard the part where he stole the money and then passed away. I don't know if this story is right then or not. Because it's the same person. But this story seems to have changed. But I guess honesty is the best policy. At least as far as he was concerned. So all I can say about finding money is it's probably best returned.

It's that Russell, for the last time I talked to you, I had run left and turned back here. My wife decided she'd leave here in Laughlin, so she left and went back to Lancaster, California. So, we're not single again. And she's happy and I'm happy too. And I bought a place in Eagles Marina, about 100 yards from the water, with the money we sold the house. And then I had a head-on collision in my SUV on I-95 in Port Mohave, Arizona. Unbelievable. I'm driving along in the fast lane and I see headlights on my lane. And normally you'll see headlights, you see taillights. So I tried to swerve and I didn't swerve fast enough. And, uh, totaled the SUV. Hopefully, I got a lawyer too, so hopefully I'll get a new, uh, a new SUV off and get my new truck or something. Maybe some money in my pocket. I just put my ribs for the whole month. The whole month I couldn't breathe, I couldn't cough, I couldn't hiccup. It was really bad. Everything hurts. But, um, this is not it. Now you're caught up on what happened to me. I hope you're doing okay. And, uh, if Cheryl's out there, if Kevin's out there, I hope we're all trusting you guys soon. This is KK-60L-C Mike in Mules Marina. About 100 yards from the water. Back to neck control. Thank you, Russell. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anybody else that's here on the cowbungee trip, hurrying out, call K-9-N-X-K. And the question I'll ask is, if you want a pet cat guy for $55 million in your pet cat, what would you do with it? Call K-9-N-X-K. We'll go in the UK, Lee. Well, no one cares with you.

If I found, if I was driving a taxi and I found $5 million, I think you said, in the back of the taxi, I think I would be given that back. Because let's face it, it's probably owned by a drug dealer, because who carries $5 million except someone going to do a giant drug deal? And they're going to be calling that taxi stand, trying to figure out which car drove them. And when they find out which car drove them, they're coming looking for you. So I'd be giving it back to whoever the hell wants it. I wouldn't touch it with a million dollars. Wouldn't be worth it. It wouldn't be worth your life. And that's how it would happen. You'd get killed over it if you tried to mess around. So I'd just be giving it back, man. That's what I would do. And Russell, I tell you, I got, do you use a headset when you're gaming? Like, with a mic and stuff on there? Man, I got an awesome headset yesterday for a great deal. A great deal, man. $40 for this thing. And I priced them online. They're over $200 here. And I got it for $40. Still in the package. Probably fell out of a truck. I didn't ask questions. It was on Facebook Market. Either they didn't know what they had. Doo said he got it as a birthday gift, and he already had a good headset. That's when I asked him why he was selling it so cheap. He said, well, I don't really need the money. He said, and I got one already. He said, I got this one for my birthday. So I just took him at his word. Probably stay here. When I got there, when he got here with it, it was going to be opened or something like that. Now it's still sealed in the box. Plastic still around the outside of the box. And when I took all the plastic off, the seals were still there. You know those little plastic ones you got to cut through? Those are still on the box. So I was absolutely shocked. These headphones are like the nicest ones I've ever put on my head. I got to be honest with you. I don't ever, ever have a computer station because they're expensive. But these things, oh my god, they are fantastic. And they work with my Mac so nicely. They can work on Bluetooth. Let me reset. They work on Bluetooth. So you pair them with your phone or your tablet or whatever. But then they also come with this little dongle, this little USB-C thing. And you plug that into a computer or a PlayStation or an Xbox or whatever. And then they don't need Bluetooth. They use 2.4 gigahertz, zero latency wireless. So you know, Bluetooth, sometimes you get a little delay. Like when you're gaming, it's especially noticeable. Like you shoot your gun and then you hear it half a second or a quarter second later. And it just doesn't sound right, doesn't feel right. Well, these things is instant. What you see on the screen, it's absolutely instant. You hear it at exactly the same time. So I really like them. I wore them yesterday for about four hours just trying them out and stuff like that. And man, I am impressed, very impressed. And if anybody's interested in what they are, they're the SteelSeries Arctis Nova 5. If anybody wants to check it out, an arctis is spelled A-R-C-T-S and then Nova and then the number five. You want to check these things out for yourself. They are incredible. Best sounding things I ever put on my head. And they've got an app that goes on your phone where you can tune them and set your volume levels and your mic levels and all this kind of stuff. And the cool thing about the mic on these, it's retractable. It goes inside the headset. When you put it away in the headset, you can't even see it. It's still there and it's still usable even while it's inside the headset. But if you want to pull it out, it's like a really flexible mic and you can just pull it out of the headset almost like the way a measuring tape comes out. And then when you don't need it anymore, you just tuck it away again. And it's very, very cool. They're white. That's the only thing I don't like about them. They're white. If I was going to buy these things, I'd buy the black ones. But, because I think white is just going to get dirty. But it has removable, replaceable cups and all this kind of stuff on it. So if they get really dirty, I guess, I can just get another set and put them on there. But I'm hoping this thing lasts a long time because I've had other headsets here that I've had for years. Like Bill sent me a Trucker set that he used to use back in the day years ago. This is a long time ago now he sent me this and this still works number one, like just perfect. So I'm hoping this thing lasts a really long time. I know it looks good and it functions incredibly well. So I'm very pleased with it, especially for the price. Where do you ever get a good deal like that? Come up. It rarely happens. Back over to you Russell, feel one UKZ.

From the question of the day, would you find $5 million in the back of your taxi cab? I was a cab driver. Not for a long time. But about six months I was a cab driver. And it's not because I learned anything about that, but I'll tell you what I would do. And that is I would grab that case, give it to the police, get a receipt, and call my lawyer. And I think that would be the smartest thing to do because, you know, they can keep found things for usually 30 to 90 days, and then they give it back to whoever found it. You can do that. But the fact that you're not holding the money, if this happens to be drug money or something like that, the people who it belongs to are probably going to leave you alone. And so, you know, I think if somebody comes and approaches you and says, hey, give me that, get that money back from the cops for me, I'd say, yeah, well, I'm going to tell them you were looking for it. And they'll tell you about that. You know? So you have to live pretty carefully. And the other thing is that $5 million isn't a lot of money. Certainly not worth your life. But it is really hard to move. I'm assuming that you're talking about $5 million in cash. That means there are hundreds, all hundreds are recorded in their movement throughout the system. It wouldn't be rocket science to figure out where that money started out. So if you grabbed it and said, okay, I'm going to just keep this in the basement and take out a hundred every time I need one, they would find you pretty fast. So back to you, Russell. Great, Nat.

Yeah, very clear, General. Very clear. Probably your best audio that I've ever heard. I'm impressed. Wow, cool. Awesome stuff. Thanks, boys. Yeah, Grey, I'm telling you, I know you don't mind spending a few bucks on stuff now and then. When it strikes your fancy, you should definitely check these out, man. They are fantastic. I mean, the sound quality is just amazing. You use Max as well, and they come with this little dongle, like I was saying. It's a little tiny thing, tiny, tiny little thing, and it's got a Type-C built onto it. And you just plug it into your Mac, and it's literally zero latency. Like, you don't get the latency you do with Bluetooth. But then if you want to pair it with Bluetooth, you can do that as well. Then it has a mode switch on it, like a little button. You press it, and it switches back and forth between 2.4 and Bluetooth. So you can have it paired with your phone, you know, on Bluetooth, and your Mac on 2.4 gig. So let's say you're listening to music on your Mac, you're listening to a movie, you're doing something. Then you get a phone call, or you get a text. Because it's paired with your phone as well, the notifications or the rings, they come through on the headset, even though you're paired with your Mac as well. And then you can just press the button on it and take your call or respond to your text message with voice or whatever. It's pretty cool. The brand is called SteelSeries. They're intended to be a gaming headset, but, man, I was thinking, you know, for Ham Radio, they made it sound good for gaming. For Ham Radio, it would probably be really, really good.

Okay, Russell. There's some people getting on now, so good morning, Russell, good morning to everybody participating in the cowabunga net on the two drop-ins. I answered the question, I did bring up what Dale brought up, you know, if that money was drug money and they didn't find you right away, you had spent some of it. Could you imagine, you know, not even being able to return all of it? And who would you get to help you? I think I brought that out earlier because you committed a crime when you didn't, you know, return it to the police. Because you're supposed to. And you know, you could get a reward if somebody claims it. That happened many times with me working in a casino. There were, you know, hundred dollar bills, you know, people would lose. You know, you call Sierra One and tell them, you know, a hundred dollars at this location, I want to bring it into the cage, that puts you on view, you pick it up, carry it over. But like in a month or something, if nobody claims you, you get to keep it. Now I found a ring, a 14 karat gold, and you know, I properly returned it. And I think for property you have to wait three months. It was a beautiful ring, fit me perfect, fit my personality, everything. And I was able to claim it, nobody claimed it. As honest as I was, I wore it openly in the casino, you know, in case somebody would say, hey, that's my ring, you know, I would have found the owner and then returned it. So I did that. For headphones, I have been experimenting with them. I have two Green Devil with a boom mic. One, I actually had to return and they sent me an upgraded one and then I didn't want to wait and I bought another one. But the one that broke, it was only because it wouldn't turn on, but I can use it on my Kenwood. And they're really good received. I don't think they're as good as transmitters. These Steel Series, I have that up on Amazon right now. They have a bunch of models. When it gets around to gray, I come to mention which model that is in case I decide to upgrade and sound as good as him as he did. Because I have several choices and they have one here with a boom mic. But without a boom mic, it's only like $50. But I don't think it's as good as these other ones because there's one here for almost, a couple here for almost $200 and one like $300. So I'd like to know which model it is. I like the turquoise color $1,109 with a boom mic on it. I think it's Brutus with, let's see, is that a, yeah, it has a pickup, which is good. I could have trouble with Brutus, you know, 5.3 or whatever it is on one PC. It wouldn't hold it up and drop it a lot. These headphones don't do that. But I think that if you have a connection that goes in USB or in this case it's the other USB-C, the connection would be more solid. Maybe even I could walk away and not get disconnected when I forget. And I don't take my headphones off and walk too far away and then I got to reconnect. I'm supposed to take my handhelds with me if I walk away and take my headphones off. This is Ron, AA4HO, Miramar, Florida, back to us.

Well, I did answer the question about the five million and I, you know, considering that it might be hot money, yeah, I'm glad I didn't take it because that's a lot of problems, the extra problems that you really don't need is having someone going after you for it. Now, I gotta tell you a story about why I use earbuds instead of headphones. And I know you probably get the most press, audio, and everything, but I'm from New York. And at that time when the headphones were out, you know, I used to have mine until they started dropping people in the street. They would hit you, punch you in the back of the head when you had earphones. So I stopped using them a long, long time ago. I started using the buds that you could leave one off your ear to hear what's going around you. And I still do that. I always like to have one ear out in order to, not even one ear out, that was not the same thing for me, at least for me. And the one time that really, really, I'm going to reset, just give me a second. And one thing that really made me not want to wear something completely new in my head was when the story came out a couple years ago, I can't even remember what year it was. This guy was on the beach running and he had the earphones on his head and a plane hit him on the beach, you know, and killed him. And I'm saying, man, you know, you couldn't hear a plane coming. When I first heard the story of this man, you sure have heard the plane coming, right? And when they told the story on TV was he had headphones or whatever he had on his head. And that's why he couldn't hear the plane coming. So anyway, this is K and for LBM, this is D. Back to you, Russell.

I got to say, I wasn't sure how well it was going to do on ham radio because I was trying it with the Echo Link test server last night. And I could hear the audio, but I really wasn't sure how it was going to actually sound. But so then I tried doing a few recordings on my phone. And they sounded excellent, the voice notes, but the Echo Link test server wasn't really giving me a great output. But for music and everything else, these things are great. They've got like a floating kind of headband on them. They've got like a regular hard headband that goes over your head. But just down from that, they've got like a nylon stretchy strap that kind of keeps the band above your head so you don't, like so it's not causing you to sweat bullets while you're wearing these things. Like you say, the only thing that I don't like about it is the fact that it's white. It's bright snow white, but you can get these things in black as well. So if anybody's going to get them, highly recommend from this guy up here, no doubt about it. But yeah, they were a couple hundred bucks on the Amazon here in Canada. So they'll definitely be cheaper in the United States, probably like 150 or less. 130 maybe, I don't know what the exchange rate exactly is.

It just makes me much more comfortable. Well, headset, Farrell. It sounds really nice. It looks good, too. I don't mind the way. I started out this morning looking at an article coming out, and they are bidding on creating a nuclear reactor for the moon. So this would power the moon base, and that's a good thing because the moon... ...50 degrees below zero. So you're going to need some source of heat up there if you want to stay. And I thought that was pretty interesting, so they're just getting bids on it. But in a little further investigation, as it turns out, there's a big race right now to create nuclear reactors that are really small. And they'll fit on a flatbed truck or in a shipping container. And there's a lot of them. I think there are five under test right now, all different designs and stuff like that. But there's lots of orders for these. They want them everywhere. It might only be one that will drive 100 homes or 1,000 homes or something like that, but you can put hundreds of these in if you can get by all the regulations and all that stuff and everybody being frightened of nuclear reactors and stuff. But they are miles safer than the old style that were kind of built in place. This can just be shipped somewhere. And it runs for five years on the fuels that it's got, so you have to refill it every five years. And that's a problem too. What do you do with spent fuel? But there are people with ideas about that, so they're working on it. So I think nuclear power is kind of sneaking back in. That's pretty wild. Anyway, back to KB9NSK. This is KC2PKG.

You know, how games are, you can't just pick up a game and start playing. You've got to earn things and all this other crap. It ain't like it's just a game, but yeah, I used to enjoy that kind of stuff. That would make me think about this more than it tastes, Greg. I did want to pick up the link that you put in yesterday that cost us interviewing AI. And I listened to it and I read about it and I thought about it. And it's just plain weird.

And so we were watching something, I forget what it was. Anyhow, it was the real thing, that's what it was. It was the... I'm going to take a break. I don't have a time limit. Hang on a sec. Okay, yeah, we were watching the news and it was actually reporting about the nuclear reactor idea on the moon. And I looked at it and she goes, we really do live in a weird world. And we do. I mean, compared to 10, 15 years ago, it's weird. Compared to the 90s, it's really weird. And probably compared to the 70s, which I wasn't alive yet, this is probably like some alien world that we live in. Isn't it crazy that we're talking about putting a nuclear reactor on the moon? Or that we're interviewing computer programs as an actual sort of person? Yeah, it didn't make any sense to me. The parents, I feel for them. I mean, it sounds to me like they're just doing anything and everything to bring the child back. As a parent, I think I was probably doing the same thing. But it's just weird. I mean, you're not interviewing a person. You're not interviewing memory. You're not memorizing any GPT that the parents put together. I mean, I got GPT. You want to interview them? It's just weird.

KM4, QBC, 73. Anybody else like you on the top, I get you? They're in and out. Call KB9 and that's it. And if you wasn't kept up, what would you do with a $5,000 if you signed in and tax cap? Call KB9 and that's it. KB9, I'll lift you. Go ahead, Bill. Thank you, Russell. Good morning to you and Josh. Mike, ULC. I heard Darrell out there. I think I came in when Ron was talking. He was talking about microphones and stuff like that. We got here to California. We got here to Phoenix last night. About 830, 845. And got my students and stuff together. We... What do you call it? What do you call it? Oh, okay. I took her over to the hotel and I came back and went to bed. I haven't had a lot of sleep in the last two or three days. Last night was the first time I got some decent sleep. And it was interrupted a couple of times because of my leg. And the... That pain. But I had a big jar of sports cream that I was using to hopefully relax the muscles and stuff. I also took stuff called Back-Aid and it's supposed to help with that. So I did get some sleep last night. I feel better this morning. I got taken by a truck over to the shop this morning and have them check and verify that the differential leaks got taken care of. And also up at the top of the radiator overflow container there's some fluid spurting out and getting all over the truck. So I got to have them check that out and make sure that that's nothing. And have them do what they have to do. So I'm going to be waiting for my wife to wake up and come get me. And then I can load up all my stuff that needs to go to the house. And I'm going to take the truck over to the shop and then we'll probably go out and get something to eat for breakfast. So I'm really working hard at not eating something right now myself. And then go from there. Let's see, a million dollars in trucks. Wow, that's hot. So I got to take a break here and let me grab one real quick. Alright, I found I think it said five million dollars in the back of my taxi cab. If I'm driving it I'd be really worried because they know it's my cab. You know, someone might have planted that money to see if I was going to turn it in or what. So you know, this day and age, you got to worry about that. If it was just a taxi cab that I grabbed and the money was in there, I'd be wondering if it was a taxi cab driver's money. Because if he had that much money in a bag, he'd be leaving it in the back. But he wouldn't know where I was going. So his last fare said, hey, I left the bag in the back. And someone grabbed it and said, right after you I grabbed this other guy and I dropped him off at his house. Here's his address. Go talk to him. So like I said, nowadays with air tags and all other kinds of GPS trackers, you'd be hard pressed to get away with something like that nowadays. You always have to be thinking about it, looking over your shoulder. But even in the past, I've always been one to turn something, especially something big like that, in and hope for a reward. But sometimes I might find a pen or something like that on the ground. Something like that I might keep just as a thank you. But anything major that someone's going to be hurt if they don't get it back, I usually try to turn it in. Because I know if I lost something like that, I'd want somebody to turn it in. Because that wouldn't be a hard thing to lose. But there you go. Thank you, Russell. This is Bill from KB9 International. Anybody else want to get on the cop truck get your hand out, call KB9 International. And the question of the if you want to catch that guy, if I find one guy that's back in the seat, what we can do with it? Call KB9 International."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T05:50:26+00:00","id":14920,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14919,"text":" I go back to top this, I go to A4A, OD, vaccine.

If you get a windfall and a decent settlement for that accident you're in, they say if you have money you're not gonna be using for the next three years, to get somebody to set it up in a investment. Investment. You know, maybe if people do that now, they would be rewarded if this turns out to be the bull market that it's looking like it's gonna be, and you wouldn't wanna miss that. Uranium stock I'm looking at right now. Since we were talking about nuclear power, I know earlier in the year, uranium started to come on everybody's radar because of the increased trading volume and spike in price. They're still pretty cheap right now, but they are moving, that's for sure. I was looking at the exchange traded fund for all of the bumps together, and it seems like they're hitting all time highs, so that's something to consider. You know, with this nuclear power, you know, more than anything else. And I did look at, you know, the fact that safety has been increased. Now with these small reactors, and a lot of the things that you would have had to consider, you know, with a larger reactor, like, you know, what we have here at Turkey Point, isn't a problem, you know, with the smaller reactors. And to make this more popular, some of the regulations on it have been listed, but it's still pretty expensive. AA-4-H, L-1, Miramar, Florida, back to Russell, and head to...

This is KN4LBF. This is D. Yeah, I'm still here, Russell. Yeah, I know nuclear reactors or nuclear generators or those, I forgot what they call them, but we get our electricity and all that stuff. I'm really caught in the middle of an idea of reopening and reactivating those things once they're closed and opening up the minefields and oil rigs and making America great again and independent, but the oil rigs are leaking into our sea. And even though they say we fixed it, we fixed it? Well, I don't know. And when it comes to mining, those people, the miners, even though they have a very good face mask, they were dying of lung cancer or whatever it was. And it's up to people, I guess. If they want to go to the mines, they go to the mines. If they want to go to the oil rigs, they're going to go do it. The generators, most of them are in the eastern, on the east side. Like in the Midwest, there's hardly no generators. I'm talking about nuclear. And a lot of people, babies are being born with cancer. Let me reset. And how do they get that cancer? People are dying of brain cancer. How do they get that cancer? My sister will die in a 54. People are dying of lung cancer. They say, oh, but I never smoke. How do they get that cancer? And, you know, even though a lot of people say, oh, whatever, they just push it away because they want the instant nuclear power so we can have the technology we have today. So there's a compromise. Ying yang. Compromise. You know, so I'm really in the middle with all of that because I, too, have technology. It's not as if I don't have it. I have it. So anyway, back to you, Russell.

Yep, I am. I am indeed back. And uh, just here playing around with this game I've been playing. It's called Super Mega Baseball 4. And you may be able to get it on PlayStation Russell, I'm not sure. But it is a really, really fun baseball game. You can start off, you can play like one game, like an exhibition game. Or you can start off playing like a full season. You know, and everything in between. The full season is cool because you get to watch your team progress or not progress. You play the regular season and then if you qualify you go into the playoffs. It's just, it's a great game. A lot of fun. You know, it's only a baseball game so it's relatively simple. If you just want to play the game. Excuse me, if you just want to play a baseball game. But if you want to do more like manage your team or you know, do manager mode. You can do that. You can do Chase the Pennant, which is another cool little mode on there. Really fun. I've had it for a while but never really played it for a while. And just started playing it a couple days ago. And it is super fun. But yeah, I gotta say I'm really enjoying the headset. I don't know how much I'll use it for ham radio. Mostly wanted it for like, you know, really good sounding music. But the little mic on it is cool. And yeah, Ron, this one does have the boom mic but it's retractable. Which is cool because if you don't want it in front of your face. You can just tuck it away inside the headset. You can't even see it. The mic is still usable while it's tucked away. But it's not going to be as loud. And I'm guessing probably not as clear if it's like backed by your ear. Because when you tuck it in inside the headset. It's like retractable. And when you have it inside the headset. I don't know, perhaps you guys can tell me. Just let me retract it and see how my audio is. Okay, now the mic is inside the headset. So just let me know what my audio is like when I put the mic away. I can see that my volume is definitely down. So I'll go ahead and I'll pull it back out again. And now it's like right by the side of my mouth again. So I'm guessing it's a lot better like this.

AB9, MSK, this is KC2PKG. Yeah, it got very quiet, like you were on the other side of the room when you de-extended the mic boom. And it's very clear now. So it's nice that it pulls up like that, sort of putting it away or putting it down. You can fold it up without worrying about it. That's cool. That's very cool. You know, the way these new models of nuclear reactors work is that the pellets, it's not just fuel rods, it's little pellets, and they are covered in, in some cases, they're covered in very tough glass so that they can be bounced or dropped or all this stuff without any danger of the uranium in the core of these pellets getting out. And some of them are like pumpkin seed sized. And each one of them is like a little sealed container. So that's kind of cool. I think that's kind of cool. You know, what's going on right now is I look out my window and nobody ever tells me they're coming, but I got two guys in the back now, they're doing some weeding.

I'm assuming you all can hear me just fine because I see the meter moving quite a bit. Your audio, yeah, just like Grace said there, Darrell. As soon as you retracted that boom, it sounded like you was behind the glass wall or something. As soon as you unextended it, you were loud and proud again. So that's pretty cool. I have a set, in fact as soon as I get done with this installation, I'm going to have my voice funded. I have two sets of really good Sony wireless headsets. I've got them both through some rewards program or whatever. I've worked them off years ago. I've slashed them out at $300 or so. $200 a piece came out a couple of years ago. I'd say probably four years ago now, three or four years ago. I always use them for Xbox because they pair up with juice and everything. I've never seen them set. I'm assuming they're in the rooms and probably not in great shape. But you just made me think of them. And since I know they don't use them anymore, I'll ask them back if it's a decent shape. That might be the perfect headset for most of what I'm doing. We'll have a seat. Anyhow, I'm working on this chicken coop again this morning. If they woke up later, I'm not going to get as much done. I'm on the coop side of it now. I am building it modular. So we have our run, is what we're calling it. It is roughly 8 foot by 6 foot square. It's going to hold three chickens, or four. So he has a rooster. He's not growing yet. The minute he starts growing, he has to go. My neighbors would not appreciate growing roosters. But we are working on the coop. And so I make the coop where the chickens go in and live in it and lay eggs and fed it in nesting boxes and all that stuff. I made it modular, meaning it can come apart very easily. We tend to change our mind. I'm not sure this is what life's going to want to keep. And to be honest, it's quite heavy. It's not even what I anticipated. So we want to be able to move it around. That's why we built it 8 foot by 6 foot, because our backyard's more than big enough that we can move it to a different spot every day. And chickens can get fresh scratch and grains and bugs and all that stuff. So that's still the ultimate plan. I just got to figure out how to make it mobile. We just have an idea. But I don't know if it's going to work. Anyhow, I'm going to go ahead and get off of here and finish trying to put the bone to this coop part together. We have our two ends built. I just need to get to building some cross members and then get rid of the sheath of it some mud so they have a dry place. With that, I'll send it back to you, Katie, in a little bit.

I've been looking for something that, unless I go back to mail, you know, the post office, you know, how would that be done if there's no, the satellite is taken down, no satellite frequency, and, you know, the FCC only puts the radio frequency for ham and police department, and that's it.

Alright, thank you very much Russell. And uh, man, I just was looking at uh, replacement, uh, because they're white and they're gonna get dirty. And I don't like that. Um, you know the fabrics especially are gonna get dirty because these cushions are like a mesh, uh, like a mesh cloth. And um, like a plumb fake layer on the inside, but they're snow white. And the freaking cushions for these things are more than I paid for the headset. Granted I got a really good deal on this thing. Um, like a fantastic deal compared to what they cost. But um, yeah I guess if the cushions ever get filthy and I just can't clean them then, you know, it's an option to make them look new again. Um, but I'd get the black cushions. I don't know if the black cushions would look good with the white headset or not. But, you can get all kinds of colors here, but they're like uh, between $29.99 and $54.99 depending on which cushions you get. And uh, they're all nice looking. But uh, these ones that are like tissue box have this cooling getout inside that keeps the temperature down, uh, really low. Apparently you can even refrigerate cushions and uh, it'll keep the uh, the temperature really low while you're gaming. Um, I'm guessing these things, I had it on for four hours last night and I barely felt, you know, warm at all. So it was okay. But um, from what I've seen online, people say after extended gaming sessions your ears can feel warm. And I'm thinking to myself, you're wearing what essentially equates to earmuffs. Of course your ears are going to get warm after playing for a long time. But I was playing a little bit of uh, last night and in the game, people were able to hear when people were sticking up behind me. And it's a real problem coming from behind. These things can simulate 7.2 I.O. And in the calibration app you can like move around where the simulated speed is. Like in the app you can have some on the side, you can put some above you, some behind you and some in front of you. And when you go to play your game, it's like you get this actual surround sound. Even though there's only two drivers in this thing, they're neodymium drivers. And that means you can um, you can customize the sound really well out of them. But uh, I'm telling you guys, honestly, I've never used a headset that sounded like this before. Not just, I mean the mic is one thing, but the audio quality is just phenomenal. I mean I usually use earbuds for an over the ear set Bill said years ago. It's like a trimmer headset and you can detach one of the speakers off it and whatnot. And I usually just use that. I've had that for years and it works incredibly well. But nothing that I've ever put on my head compares to the sound of this thing. You guys, even on Echo Lake, you sound like you're in the same room with me. It's like the vocal quality is just crystal, crystal clear. And um, I really like it. Like I said, my only grief is that it's snow white. But if you buy something on Facebook Marketplace, you get what you get, right? It's not like you can say, oh well, do you have them in black? But you know, here it is I guess. Let me reset. And yeah, Graham, I don't find the color white either. But they're going to be dirty. Over time, they're just going to not look as nice as they do now. They're, you know, a white. Literally. Not even an off-white. They're bright, shiny white. But there's texture on them that maybe it'll be easier to clean it. I don't know. I guess we'll find out over time because this is my new official headset. And I've got AirPods. They don't work very well anymore. After very little time. And I've got these other little in-ear ones that I was raving about for a while. When I first got them, I was talking about because they were only like $30 or $20. But they sounded really good. They're those little sounding earbuds that I've ever used. But as far as over the ear headphones, these are the nicest sounds that I've ever used. I guess the more money you spend on something, the higher quality it gets. I don't know if you guys have ever used this brand called Sennheiser. I'm not sure you know because apparently with my agent, their Sennheiser headphones just sound fantastic. And they're expensive, but they're only $400 for the goons. If you look at Apple AirPods Pro, those things are like $550 or $500 plus tax or whatever. And I can't imagine what they must sound like compared to this thing. If you know you had the same value for money. I don't know. But let me know about the Sennheiser brand guys because I'm curious about those. Not that I'm going to go looking for them or anything. I'm just curious to know what your opinions were about Sennheiser. I've got this pair of Sony's here as well. Someone mentioned Sony headphones. I do have a pair of Sony's on here recently. But they're earbuds. They're WY200's. And they don't sound great. I've got to say, you would think my name like Sony did sound great. But these are earbuds. They've got a wire connected to two earbuds together that you just hang in the back of your neck. And that's what has your controls and your battery and stuff like that. Those two little things that are on the headset itself. I'm not really a fan of those. I'm following the wire hanging by the back of my neck because I like the little remote control that's on the wire. But what I don't like is the fact that they don't sound great. I've got my Link and the repeater and all that. It's been holding its own since yesterday. No d*** notes as far as I can tell. Now I'm on heckling this morning because I wanted to use this headset on ham radio just to see what it sounded like. But repeater is still connected. Link is still connected and doing good. No disconnects or restarts as far as I can tell. So it is what it is. Back over to you Russell. Do you know what you've done? I did. I gave that name of that ball game. I said I did it on my basic form. I gave that one where I was going. You said you were the name of that baseball game I'm playing? Yeah, man. I want to see if I can get it. See if I can get it.

And that's knowledge from probably 50 years ago. Or more. They have always been super high quality stuff. They really have. I remember seeing those really light headphones. Because you used to be the big cups that went over your ears. And you'd have coss or something like that. But the Sennheisers were open air. And they had great sound. They were just fantastic sound. And they just discovered something. They thought what they may think is a beautiful house. It's low kilo 7 November. I don't know how much you guys know about lithium. Lithium is used to do all sorts of stuff in the brain. Obsessive compulsive disorder is good for that. But apparently it pays a big part in memory. And keeping your brain free of amyloid plaques and all the other things that come with all sorts. And so they have already done preliminary experimentation with it. And in mice it improved their brain function tremendously. So you can look forward to some lithium in your future possibly. Which is good because Alzheimer's is really scary. Really scary. All of a sudden you don't know anybody who's around you. Which is so weird. Back to you Russell. K9NSK. This is KC2 BKG. I go on, I go there. See you again. The other thing sure, if anybody knows what your question was. But we've answered questions again too. And maybe someone might know what you're talking about. So that indeed. Maybe somebody might know the answer you want and what for. And then you get back to me Pete. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah we didn't get any audio from Dee. Although she would keep down for quite a while. I do have a comment on her question. Go ahead man. You know, so I think the question was how do we all talk if the FCC says you can't talk. The FCC says you can't use UHF or VHF for anything but official functions and stuff like that. I've been watching a lot of the development of small networks. Everybody has a wifi router. And you can use those to move traffic around. And potentially move it all the way around the world. Just using bouncing from one wifi router to the next. So I would be very interested in trying to create a new sublayer of communication between all hands. Because I've had the same question for a long time. In other words if this goes out and for some reason we can't get on this then what can we do? Well, I think the answer is networks. Networks done in patches. So that's my comment. This is KC2BKG over to you. And sorry I wanted to hear what Dee had to say. This is KN4LDF. This is Dee's comment. Go ahead Dee. This is KN4LDF. This is Dee. And yeah I didn't realize my mic was off. I can see the thing moving now. And great that's exactly what I was talking about. I was looking into mesh. I was looking into all kinds of stuff. And they required some kind of internet or satellite. And part of my question is if the satellite was down and that other one was down. That other part. So that was one of the parts that I was talking about. But you basically have what I was thinking about. I looked into mesh. It's very expensive but it still needs some kind of internet stuff I believe. I'm not sure I believe. And the other thing was for darrow. Darrow you have that white headset. And I was looking at it and one time I bought something that was a color that I did not like. And someone suggested to me well make it your own. So what she suggested was for me to take like a 1 by 1 inch of whatever my favorite thing was. And my favorite thing was Pup Pups. Puppies. So I took a 1 inch thing of mine and put it on what I want. It did not hurt the thing. So if you like sports you would put a logo. Or if you like whatever it is you make whatever the item is of your own. By putting 1 inch stickers that you could eventually remove and just clear out the debris with alcohol or whatever. And it wouldn't hurt your headset. I don't think it would. But that was what I'm saying. If it's all white maybe you make it your own with your own sports logo. Or whatever the case may be. Anyway this is KN4LBS."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T06:30:24+00:00","id":14937,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14936,"text":" I don't know if he said they beat a buck.

It didn't take much to get the hot water. When I got here to Phoenix last night at 9 o'clock, 830, 9 o'clock, it was still 105 degrees out. So it's always the challenge at home is to get any kind of cool water. You can get cool water for about the first two or three minutes because the water is coming through the house in November. So the walls are not as cold. It's located in Shelton, Washington. But then as soon as the water starts coming in from the outside, it tends to warm up. So in the summertime, you got two temperatures hot and it's cold. So I just keep it all the way on the blue just about and I get a shower that I can stand in for a little bit and get clean. So that helped out a little bit getting that warm water loosening up some of the muscles. Tonight will be better. I'm sleeping in my bed at home and I have to have the truck running most of the night. It wasn't until late in the morning that I had to, well I shut the truck off and just let the truck warm up. But yeah, joys of living in Phoenix. Headset span. Arrow turned me on to a site that had the Apple AirPods Pro headset, or at least it looks like the Apple AirPods Pro headset. But they were selling it to you back when everything was happening. So I ordered, that was July 3rd, I ordered a pair from them and it's been a month and I haven't seen them yet. But at that price, you know, if it ends up being a scam, I'm not losing out very much on it. Now there is something that came into the, I checked when I picked up my paperwork for this last load and they had something at the post office that needed to be signed for it. I'm like, maybe that's something. I'm like, really? But there was no name on it. I didn't say who had to sign for it or who the package was for. So I don't know if it's going to be something that I'm waiting for or something something else is waiting for. So just waiting. And I won't be able to check it until Monday, next Monday. So I'm hoping somebody will maybe go by the post office. And it's funny because I did get a scam thing as a text message saying we tried to deliver your package on this date. You know, you need to come to our website and reschedule your delivery. But you first got to type yes in the box and then you got to re-download and you got to copy and paste the email address directly into Safari and I'm like, yeah, I ain't falling for that. It just, the timing was so close. It got me excited for about two seconds. And then my head got back screwed on right. And I realized that if I pushed those buttons and did that sequence that it wasn't going to be a good thing. But my wife is up and I'd be ready soonish. And I have my bags mostly packed. As soon as she gets here I'm going to load them up and then take the truck over to the shop. So that's what's going on here. And like I said, it's 6.31 in the morning and it is 88 degrees outside. Although the dash says 101, but I think that's from the heat, a little bit of heat from the engine. I got the engine going to keep it a little bit more comfortable in here while I'm waiting. But with that, I will pass it back to you, Russell, for keeping that in his game and I know of you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T06:36:09+00:00","id":14940,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14939,"text":" I said, I need to find that KCT gate.

But, uh, you know, I just hear doing some recur. And, uh, uh, Sennheiser. Let me see, my audio seems lower. Oh, there it is. You gotta... You gotta put it at, like, almost the right position. Just to, like, the left of your mouth. And, uh, this thing has a cool light on it. When you mute your head, you mute your microphone. The tip of the mic lights up red. Uh, it's a bright red light. But the thing is, the mic is on the left-hand side of your face. And I'm blind in my left eye. So I don't get to see that light that's on there. That shows you got your mic muted. Um, but, uh, small complaint. Yeah, I could put stickers all over this thing. But... Then I think it would look too gimmicky. Um, I don't mind the whitey color. I just know that inevitably it's gonna get, you know, dirtier. Like, the ear cups are white, the band is white, the mic is white. Everything's white on the ear. And, uh, I'm just worried that with time, you know, wearing it and having it on your ears, and the headband and all that, it's bound to get dirty, uh, over time. Especially touching it, you know, putting it on and off, touching it. It's gonna be, uh, you know, get fingerprints on there. And I smoke weed as well. Uh, I know some people don't agree. Others do. But here in Canada, it's 100% legal, so. Um, and that, when you're rolling it and stuff, it makes your fingers kind of sticky. And then you're taking off the headset to go outside, or, you know, it's just, it's just bound, bound to get dirty. But yeah, those Sennheiser ones, great. Um, the open back ones. So you're saying that's been around for a while, hey? That technology? I only started seeing that recently. Um, how you can do the transparency mode, you know, with the open back headphones. All you do is pretty much mute your audio and you can hear what's going on around you. These ones are not that. They're completely closed in. But they do have a transparency mode, and you can adjust it in the app. Um, and then when you hit the, hit the mic button on the side, you can hear everything from the mic get amplified. So it does have the ability to, uh, hear what's going on around you, uh, while you're still listening to music. But I don't like that. I don't want to hear anything else except my music while I'm, you know, listening to music. Or even watching a movie, you know. I do, however, like the fact that it'll give me notifications from my phone, even if I've got this thing set up for my Mac. Which I do, because the little dongle, fortunately enough, just plugs right into one of the front USB-C ports. And, uh, you barely notice it even being there. Let me reset. You barely notice it even being there, because it's just this tiny little white, like, chiclet-sized thing. And it just plugs right in there and it just sits on the front of the Mac. And when you put it in that mode, that 2.4 gig mode, you can tell right away the sound gets better, the audio gets better. Because Bluetooth has never been great, you know, let's face it. It's never been the best thing to use for sound quality or microphone quality. Apparently the mic quality on this thing gets even better if I'm using the, uh, 2.4 gig. But I've got a case on my phone, because you can plug it into the bottom of your iPhone as well. And not use Bluetooth, you can use 2.4 gig on your iPhone. Just by plugging this little thing into the bottom of your phone. But I've got a case on my phone. So that prohibits it from being plugged into the phone. But, uh, and I'd like to try... You know what? I've got Echo Link on my Mac. Uh, the next go around, I'm going to try the 2.4 gig mode on my Mac and see if the sound is any better. Because apparently the sound from the mic and the speakers is supposed to be much better when you're using 2.4 gigahertz instead of... This is repeater station NUSILO Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November, All-Star Note 6222. I'm going to try that for my next go around. I'm turning my monitor on now, actually, and I'm going to fire up an Echo Mac. Is it? I don't remember the program for the Mac, but I'm going to check it out. And my next over, that's what it's going to be. I'm going to be coming in on the Mac, on the 2.4 gig setting. So with that, Russell, I'll just pass it back to you, man, as I find the Echo Link app. P01 UKC. P01 UKC.

Couple of things that I wanted to bring up. But on 2D, not all mesh networking is really expensive. There's something called, is it Lo-Fi? I can't remember what it is. But it's basically a high-frequency mesh network. It can go like 40 miles. And it's cheap. So that might be worth it. The only person I know who is fooled with it is Evan of Maine. He's fooled with it a little bit. I don't know how successful he's been with it. But it's something that he'd really like. The other thing is that I'm kind of watching what's going on in Washington, DC. Trump has threatened to bring in the National Guard. Somebody from the Doge group got carjacked. And it made Trump very mad. And so he's talking about taking over the city, which he thinks he can do. We'll see what happens. But that being said, we'll move it on to Peter.

KG85 IRQ, PKG, welcome to the control for the day. Thank you for taking over for Russell. I appreciate it, I know it does also. The filter is coming on slowly. I'm only working on it an hour or so a day. In fact, I'm fixing to knock it off. I'm already 30 minutes later than what I'd like to be on a Thursday morning. I'd rather be at my computer and knock it off emails and stuff early in the morning before everybody wakes up. It's like flooding the gates. I'm sure you know what I mean. Very great. Thursday morning, I don't know why, it may seem to be like the calm before the storm. And then Thursday afternoon, Friday, we got the storm. And then by the end of Friday, the storm has usually passed. And it's funny because the storms are self-made. Like somebody has an idea, I didn't adjust it, somebody has an idea and they're like, oh, we're gonna do this. And they take it to the sea level guy. The sea level guy goes, oh, that's a good idea. I'll buy you into that. And then he calls everybody else, says, we're gonna make some changes, we wanna do this. Until they find out what's how it belonged. I had a little meeting yesterday evening. We started the meeting with the sea level guy at Creative for 30. And it was after 745 or so when I got an off-track call. It was an interesting call. I don't know just me, it was a few different departments. However, the data that they're all dealing for is stored in my platform. So I get to see and take part of everything that they do. I always have. I think it feels like they take their recommendations pretty well. I'm not so sure they did last night. So the idea is we have a front-facing storefront that allows our field service operators to be able to buy, we call it buy, but they're able to order whatever they need to refill their vehicles in. They can do that today, pick it up tomorrow. Pretty simple, solve all their company-issued iPhone. In fact, we're about to get ready to write out the QR codes, which will then allow them just to scan it out rather than select it from a list. It interfaces well with NetSuite. So basically, whenever they order something, the warehouse has a notification, they know to pack and pull it. And then when the installer comes in, say the next day, it's all ready for them. All they gotta do is say, I'm here to pick up order 123, a couple of scans in the signature, and they're on their way, takes less than 30 seconds. Well, they built some new apps, oh, I don't get what it's called, but it's for installers. And they're like, well, we wanna convert everything inside this. And they're like, that's not how this works. Well, I'm sure today I'll be in a few more meetings having to explain why it's such a bad idea. Not that it's a bad idea, but it's reinventing the world that doesn't need to be reinvented. If we were going to gain some performance, I'd be off for it. But everything they're suggesting, they already do within our custom built inventory distribution manager software. So, oh, it's a weird situation. I don't know how this is gonna go. I mean, I would hate to see them stop using IDMs considering we had 18 months of research and design and scripting and testing and now rolling out. Like, the rollout is finished at the end of this month. Anyhow, I guess I'm just complaining about work this morning. I'm just gonna keep it on my mind ever since. Y'all surely don't wanna hear about that. I'll send it back to you, KC2, PKG. This is KJ5, IRQ. Just curious, Gray, if you could give me an audio report now. Sound any different, louder, better, clearer, crappier, deal with you, KZ? It sounds about the same, I think. I think it sounds just about the same. KJ5, IRQ. The corporate world, you just brought it all back to me. Somebody has a great idea and stirs up a whole bunch of stuff. I mean, you already put 18 months into this project? And I would, I think the best way to fight that battle is saying, well, we'll do a work estimate on what it's gonna take to combine this all into this new app that you wanna use and we'll get back to you. That, I think, is the way to deal with it. Because leaving well enough alone, especially after the project is almost finished and it's on its last name, is really important, you know, so that you can move on and do something else and not let somebody drag you off on some circus run. At least that's what we used to call it. It's too bad. All right, Bill, F9-O-F-U. It's over to you, man. And this is not the 73 round, but that is coming right up. So, N9-O-F-U, this is KC2-PKG. All right, thank you, great. Yeah, that was Big Balls. Big Balls was out. For those that kept up with all the Doge stuff, that was the handle or email or something of one of the Doge employees. Young man, he was out on town with his friend and his girlfriend and he was walking back to his car in a group of, this is mostly underage, he landed in November, Quebec, November, wanted a car jackup in the U2, pushed his girlfriend in the car and, you know, protect yourself and I'm gonna try to take care of this and he didn't wanna let them, I had to jack his car. Luckily some police was by and they came over and they got a couple of them, but it used to be the purview of the Congress to maintain and do a police force for the state capitol because it's not a, or a DC because it's not a state, but then they said, nah, we don't wanna do this anymore and they created a board and some other officers and people for the area, but the attorney, he didn't prosecute 70% or more of the crimes and he's a prosecutor, he's supposed to prosecute crime, but he wasn't prosecuting the crime that was taking place there in the city, although he did go after those January 6 people with a vengeance, but people that were committing car jack scenes and murders and things like that, he wasn't going after and Trump's like, well, maybe we need to take this back and put it back into the hands of the government because the people that we got in there that take care of this aren't doing their job, whether it's supposed to and the people DC deserve better than that, they need to be able to walk about the city they live in without fear of parking their dog. A lot of these people were underaged too, so because if you're underaged, you can get away with a lot more, it's not gonna go to your permanent record. Excuse me just a second. All right, so we'll see how that plays out. I just looked, my wife was not in the, the car was not in the garage, my wife shouldn't be on her way down here. So I'm mostly ready, I gotta get my stuff prepared, well, it's all prepared, it's all on the bottom bunk and then I'll transfer it over to the car, take the truck to the shop, then stop at the driver's center up front and my student left one of her hats and she had all her stuff, hopefully she went through and made some kind of semblance of putting it all away and apparently she did because she did send me a message last night saying hey, one of my hats, I left in the truck. So and I found it was on the top bunk. But got that to do, but I think I'm picking it up great and I noticed it's the 73, so hopefully I won't be too busy and I'll catch everybody in the next part. N9-O-F-U, this is KC2-PKG. We're running a little thin at this point in time, the cow bunganette on network controllers and stuff like that, we lost one of the people who did the list for Russell and did very well. Plus she was a good net controller and that's devastating, that kind of stuff happens, it's really too bad. But I hope she's still high, I'm not giving up on her. Ron, AA4-HO, it's the 73 round, man. Final thoughts, this is KC2-PKG. Yeah, about Sennheiser, I have a Sennheiser bike. It's really nice, it's really natural and it really puts and protects anything it picks up out, really good, loud. I just sound more like you do without that. And if you have an amplifier and you put that mic in, if it's a good amplifier, that microphone will really drive it well and I really like it for that. If you unscrew the top off of it, it's the best thing you can do. If you unscrew the top off of it, it's the element is all gold and it looks pretty neat inside. It looks like a professional microphone if you are watching a performance. I may not notice, I notice because I look at a lot of the electronics that bands are using or even the ones that are on TV. And you see the different manufacturers and Sennheisers, one that a lot of vocalists use. And I notice that, I go, oh, there's my microphone. Did you know I have a Sennheiser? Did I tell you I have a Sennheiser? I'm really proud of that microphone. What I did is I bought the Bluetooth connection so I can put it in the bottom and stick it into an amp and it works. It's good if you went directly in with a cord or if you use the Bluetooth and it's got four channels. In case somebody else has one also that you're using, you could use up to four of them and they won't overlap with each other. The city of Piero now has been delegated to take care of prosecuting any teenagers. They're not gonna let them slide like they were because they were out of control because they know they hadn't been punished. It goes to juvenile court and then they get a slap on the wrist. You're gonna be good from now on, right? Yeah, of course. Then they go right out and then the whole cycle starts over and over and over again. A lot of them have records that are really long and they know that it doesn't matter because once they turn 18, those records are not accessible anymore or they get destroyed. I think they don't keep them. All right, I'm gonna say goodbye to everybody for now. It's 10 o'clock already here in Miramar, Florida and tomorrow's Friday. Everybody's Friday, Tuesday. And see everyone tomorrow for TGIF. Thank God today is Friday, but that's tomorrow. Today's Thursday.

Not really much of them. But yeah, I've got this thing paired up with the Mac now on 2.4 gig. It says it will last 50 hours on 2.4 gig or 60 hours of battery life on Bluetooth. So, it's interesting. And it's so suitable for the Mac because this little dongle thing, it's visible on the outside of the packaging. This little thing, it just plugs right into your Type-C port and just sits there. It goes flush with the Mac, sticks out a tiny little bit, but it's like nothing. And I like the zero latency because that's always been my grief with Bluetooth. It's fine when you're listening to music, it's fine when you're on a phone call, but you go to watch Netflix or YouTube video or play a game, and that's when Bluetooth shows its flaws. Newer versions have gotten better, but you'll always find that your audio is slightly out of sync with your video. It might only be by a quarter of a second or half a second or a fraction of a second, but it's just enough so that the lips are not moving with the audio. And with this 2.4 gig thing, there's zero delay. I mean, I watched video content last night and it was just spectacular. Gaming, though, is the real big place where you'll find it because with gaming, I mean, if you're playing a first-person shooter and you're listening to your enemies creeping up on you, by the time you hear them, they could have a shot fired right into your back, and they will. So it's good that when you pull your trigger, you hear it right away. When someone's sneaking up on you, you hear it right away. Because in games like that, let me reset. In games like that, your timing is everything, right? You could get shot very, very quickly. I'm wondering how my link is holding up when you get shot this morning. Oh, it may not be holding up as great as I thought. Sounds like it's a little skippy there. But, yeah, we're still having Internet issues, so if by chance something goes down or something's not working right, my apologies, we still are having those Internet issues up here. And there's not a damn thing I can do about it. So, here's what it is, right? Anyhow, I've got Michigan disconnected. Yeah, let me just reset here again. Coming up next, we've got the Worldwide French Net. This is as great as finished here. And again, great. Thanks for picking up for Russell. Much, much appreciated. Yeah, coming up, we've got the Worldwide French Net. I will link up to those guys as soon as Gray is done here. Their net, of course, will already be in progress. So we ask that you please, please, please keep your comments until they call for check-ins. Other than that, everybody have a great day. Josh is out here tomorrow for his first Friday shift with the Friday edition of the Cowabunga Net. And we definitely wholeheartedly welcome Josh on board as a regular net controller out here. Really enjoyed your net last week. And last, what was it, Thursday? You filled in for Russell. Yeah. And this being your first official week as the Friday net controller, and much appreciated. And I enjoyed a break. On Fridays, my brother usually drops by. So toward the end of the net, I'm usually having to get Gray to cover or something like that there. So, glad that Josh is going to be on on Fridays. Other than that, everybody have a great day.

There's a satellite company that wants to buy or wants to license the bottom part of the UHF hand frequency and they don't want to change because I think they already have some satellites in space and that's the frequency that they use. So we could lose the bottom half of the UHF frequency or the bottom quarter of it, something like that and just not be allowed to be on there anymore. That's a bummer. Okay.

I don't know, I guess it's my check in time. We didn't hear anything Larry. The list came in and then that's it. We didn't hear you come back at all. So that's why I keyed up there but I'm guessing you called and I'm here. And I don't know if you got Cliff. Cliff came in after Jeanette and 0HC. I just heard a little blip of him so I don't know if you picked it up or not. But other than that, hang on a second here. Let me take a look. If you would put Dale V01UPZ on the list. He just sent me a text there. Alright Dale? Come on Larry. Do you want to say anything? I was out a good 45 miles on the bike today. First time since Saturday. And I was a mile an hour slower than I've been lately. And on a three hour ride that's three miles less. But I did it. As I say it's not as fast as you go or how far you go. It's as long as you go. So there you go. There I go. It was a beautiful morning. A little warm out there. I think it was about 86 when I left the house. A little before 3 AM. So it was a little warm out there. And I smelled a little bit of smoke but the air was... I didn't see any particulate matter. So that's what I'm more worried about for even that. Anyway that's it for here. You got a big list so I'll send it back to you. It's KJ7Z. Thank you Larry. Okay Joe. Well I'm glad you got some writing in anyway. And hey if you're not having fun or whatever then it's time to quit I guess. Anyway glad you're chalking up the miles there like you used to and getting back into the rhythm of things. You have a great day and we'll talk to you later. That sounds a little bit too much for writing out there. Anyway, Art is up next there. Gene Arthur. One partner in crime over there. And hey KJ Art go ahead. Good morning Larry and everybody else on the World Wide Friendship. This is November 8 Tango, tell Julie and Art here in sunny Springfield isle. I've got 75 degrees Fahrenheit and I'm going to get up almost 90 today. Let's see, I don't know Larry. Between you and Dale you guys got me confused. I had you down last week to do the Nat and Dale this week. I think you two need to get on the same page or something here. Oh terrible situation that if you guys are driving me nuts. I can't keep up with none of this. But anyhow I'll just say 73 to everybody. Y'all take care, stay warm, stay dry, stay cool no matter where you're at in the world. And always wake down the mic. Wake down the mic before you give it back to Nat Control. So with that I will wake down the mic Larry. It's coming your way from November 8 Tango. Look out for Julie. Well okay Art. I've got my calendar made out here in advance. I think I've got it several months in advance there. Anyway I've got the 7th and the 21st for this month. And let me see the 4th and the 18th of September. So there you go. Anyway if you need help just give me a buzz. Alright you take care. Hey you got 75 and I got 75.9 so it's almost 76 degrees here. So yep it's going up to 90 supposedly. And as soon as the nets over I've got to get out and do some more pressure washing in my driveway. I got part of it done yesterday and going to do some more today. It gets a little hot out there doing that pressure washing and hard on the back. Anyway everybody have a great day Art and we'll talk to you later. V86 GRZ Bill. Go ahead Bill. This is repeater station 6. This is R. This is R. Hey Larry and everybody on the net. Currently we've got 15 degrees. Geez that's 3 straight days. That's 15 in the morning. And only going up to 19 that's a 58, 66 Fahrenheit cloudy and showers. Yeah same last couple of days too. We didn't get any rain yesterday though. Thank God. So I had my audition last night and they're going to have one more basis to come in next Wednesday. The name of the band is called Damsel. And the girl that contacted me, we were the ones that contacted but the other members of the band were guys. Older gentlemen like me too so there we go. And I did well on 4 of the 5 songs and the one song that I really enjoyed playing by myself was Heartbreaker by Pat Banatar. And I had my moments in it but when it came to the tougher parts that's when I froze. And that's one of my stories of me trying to play with bands. Especially if I'm auditioning for them. I get a little bit nervous about it. I would rather play stuff that I'm more comfortable with and have people joining me. And the guitarists. I'm not trying to follow them. We had the drummer, he came late. He worked until 8 o'clock. He didn't get in until 830ish. It was supposed to be 9 o'clock. Anyway, I'd like to know, here's a question for everybody. Why are there lawmakers or people of authority in the United States blaming us for the lack of tourism from Canadians because of the wildfire smoke that is going down from Manitoba, Saskatchewan right now? You cannot change wind directions, sirs. So, I mean why are they making a big fuss over this? Mr. Trump is the whole, well I'm sorry, he's the one imposing these tariffs and we're trying to make deals with him. But he's making deals with everybody else. I know it's all political but the point is you cannot expect wind directions to change whenever you want them to. So that's my answer and I hope you all agree with me. Stand by for a second. VA6GR is returning. I just want to tie this up and go back to Larry to see the list. KTHRER VA6GR is here. Bill here in Edmonton, Alberta. Yeah, they don't have a clue what they are going and doing anyway, Bill. Yeah, you got that right, Dick. Happy? Hey, back to you Larry. Kenny at V866. Okay, Bill. Yeah, I don't know. Well, some people want to do a little of everything that is impossible. So, yeah, I don't know. It's a mess. Let's put it that way. I better not get into that. Anyway, you take care, Bill, and we'll talk to you later. Thanks a lot for your check in this morning. Always good to hear from you. Okay, we got the kisser up next. Boy, oh boy. KI5 SSR. KTHRER. Go ahead, Jeanette. KI5 SSR. Jeanette here. Great find. That last station had me rolling in. And we certainly cannot change wind. I think we're all aware of that. I don't think that's some kind of hidden secret. And I just had a terrible storm come through here and had to spend $700 to clean up the mess. Because we lost several huge trees. So, I think we're all familiar with that. Not to mention all the groundings that we had in the Guadalupe here in Texas. I don't think that winds and stuff like that are any hidden thing. We didn't even see it coming here. And all my cameras sounded like a, sounded like a tornado. And it was what they think what they call straight line winds. So, a lot of people lost their trees, a lot of trees. But I have like 40 trees on my property. And the camera was on the tree that went down along with the light. So, it's quite entertaining to watch. Ha ha. Anyway, great to be on here. You have quite the list going on. I do want to tell people about the road chart, which is going to be on the right in Texas this evening at 830 Eastern. And then I have the half-hour tomorrow evening at 7 Eastern. And of course the new litter box launch on Saturday at 7 Eastern and the AOC on Sunday. 1-1-cats.org. Check it out. And great to see you running the net. Hope everybody has a great day. And watch the weather. Today we're going to be very, very hot. So, you always have to watch the weather. That's kind of the way it is. Terrified this is going back to you. Thank you. Okay, and that's, well, it sounds like you've got a bunch of trees there. Ha ha. Yeah, and you hate to lose any trees. That would help keep the air clean here. I know around here we've had hundreds and hundreds of trees have to be taken down over the last, I don't know how many years I've lived here. But so many of our trees were planted back when houses were built. And they're about the last, you know, end of their life and they're huge. My neighbor just had one he called about getting it taken down and sitting right beside my driveway. If it comes down it'll hit up many of my vehicles in his house. So, I think he said it was like $3,500. I said, oh my gosh, mine are bigger than his. So, I'd hate to see what mine would cost. But anyway, hope everything turns out for the best there for you. And we'll talk to you later. Okay, I've got Cliff up next, I think. M0HC, Cliff, go ahead. Well, good morning everybody. M0HC, we've got sunshine. Let's see, let's look and see how, if I can see the mountains pretty good. There's a little bit of smoke and stuff like that, not too bad. Gonna be close to 100 degrees today. One of my ex-pastors is in town. He wanted to have lunch and stuff, so it'll be kind of cool and stuff. Anyway, he just had a friend and everything else and stuff, so it was pretty good. Let's see, last night we had a pretty good jam. We just usually have good fun and stuff. Today we had four people. Friends of ours, we lost in a motorcycle accident up there in Sturgis just a day or so ago. And then my buddy Norris, forever and stuff, he went down with his Harley and he had some, he's gonna have to figure out his shoulder and a couple things and stuff like that. So it's been one of those things and then my, so, I mean it's not funny I guess, but anyway. So that's it, I'm just kind of waking up and doing my thing. So I appreciate you everybody and have a great day and enjoy your heat back tonight. You said you had a cleanup site about there, about your friends that are going, getting killed there or died or whatever in Sturgis, did it? It seemed like it always happens to the people that you've had a, you know, that motorcycle thing is dangerous, that's for sure. Whether it's you or whether it's somebody else that runs into you or whatever. I don't know, I always like to have one but I'll stay away from them. I think it's a little bit safer that way. But anyway, talk to you later, you have a great day and we'll go down here and pick up Pappy next. I'm gonna, for anybody that's just tuned in, this is the World Wide Friendship net for August 7th. And I'm Larry G-D-8 RER net control and if you want to check in, put your name on the list here in a little bit. So with that Pappy, you're up in 7 RHV, go ahead. Hi, no I'm not up yet but at least the voice is up. I just had to start to move here around the room and you know, getting things together, the brain functioning somewhat. You know, and I started to figure out where the adjustment is on my sundial. You know, I've been looking and I have never seen one so, I don't know, maybe I gotta move its position or something somewhere and get more sun on it. It doesn't seem to work like everybody else's. But anyway, you know how it is with sundials, they're weird. Other than that, I got the rent paid yesterday, nice long drive all the way to the left and the right back. So I guess I'm gonna have to figure out a Venmo thing or something to alleviate the fuel costs. Because that's not cheap going all the way up there and back. But anyway, gas is a lot cheaper at Costco, that's for sure, than it is down here. So, that's it. Go see my cardiologist tomorrow and make sure everything's closer and that everything's a-chicken so like it's supposed to. So, there you go. At that, I found the micro-band wipe so I don't need the spray so I'm purely gonna wipe that mic down and de-germ it. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee408 There we go. Now, you're 99.9% germ free and no over-spray. How do you like that? It's 7 on HV. Back to that. Okay, Pimmy, what am I gonna do with that other 1%? That's probably the one I'm gonna get. No, I hope not, but anyway, that gas deal, I don't know how yours is out there, I'm sure it's probably about the same way, but ours goes up in town one day, it's one thing, and the next day you look at it, oh my gosh, it's been 50 cents higher than it was yesterday. What happened? I don't know, it's crazy. And they said, oh, Bank is supposed to put out more barrels, but they're gonna change the gas prices. This is crazy. So, I don't know. They got too good of control on that stuff to keep us broke all the time, I think. So, Pappy, you have a great day and we'll talk to you later. I got Bud up next, K5 EWH. Go ahead, Bud. What's going on in your world today? Good morning, everyone. This is Bud, K5 EWH in Gulf Canyon, Arizona. I ended up sleeping in this morning and didn't get into this net until, in fact, I heard Joe talking, looking for the net control. I really don't know what all happened, but anyway, I don't know if there's a question of the day, etc. Just had a very full day yesterday and no need to repeat any of that information. It's not interesting anyway, but a good day. And today I get my monthly car wash. Remember, I mentioned in the past, now that I have a mobility scooter with a lift on the rear of the vehicle, I cannot go through a car wash. So I have a company that will come over to the house here. I do this once a month because of money. And I get my monthly car wash here at home. You'll be arriving in about 20 or 25 minutes and spend about 12 hours doing the outside and the inside. It's just like going to a car wash except it's all done here at home. And the other difference is it's considerably more expensive because we only do it once a month. With that, I'm driving back to net control, wishing everybody a great day. It was good to hear Jeanette, K5 SSR, and what's going on in your area there in Grapevine. And looking forward to hearing all of my friends. Joyce and Joe, the lovebirds, and the other lovebirds, Rosie and Glenn, etc., etc. K5 EWH back to net control. Everybody have a great day today."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T07:49:47+00:00","id":14956,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14955,"text":" Car wash is home, I haven't thought about that. They should have bought everything else at home anymore. Although you may get a better job when somebody is doing it at your house, when you run them through the automatic car washes they've got out now, sometimes they might miss a little bit. I think they're a lot better maybe than what they used to be. I can't take neither one of my vehicles through the car wash unless I take my antennas off, and then I'd have to take the magnetic mounts down too because I wouldn't trust any of that stuff. I don't know whether they've got braces or what they're using now, but that wouldn't be too good tearing up the coax and all that stuff. Anyway, you have a great day and good luck on the car wash and we'll talk to you later. And W8HUB is up next. Good morning, Jim. How was the tomatoes? Go ahead. Uh, W8HUB, uh, the tomatoes are sitting there in a ball there, making sure that they ripen up a little bit. I'm looking at them and I'm looking at those yellow tomatoes and I can't wait to eat one. So I'm going to have one for dinner tonight, for sure. Maybe even a snack in the middle of the day. I did that yesterday. I was parked here the day, went to Virginia, and I had a big tomato that I'd gotten from the farmer trailer. And I just ate the tomato for a snack, and boy was that good. I'll tell you, I love good tomatoes. So anyway, that's it for me today. I've got the electricians here. They run it all over. They're getting by straight in the hour of the wiring at the head of the pool and everything else. And I've got two of them here today. Because they need to work together to figure out which breaker's handle which breaker's. I've got a panel full of breakers and I don't know what the outfit, but Larry, he lets the chaper head put in here. But they get the single white labels, so there's zero labels on that big panel. Anyway, that's it for me today. D-E-R-E-R-W-A-H-U-B. Okay, Jim. Well, I hope you get those labels on there and get everything straightened out. There's nothing worse than not having labels. If you're going to try to do it yourself and run to the panel and shut it off and then eat one at a time and see what goes off, that's a bunch of work. I hope you get everything straightened out there that you need. And enjoy those tomatoes. Anyway, I've got plenty more here. I want you to get ready for some more. Alright, you've got the K-C-F-M-W up next there, Miss E. Go ahead, Miss E. Well, good morning everybody. Hope everybody's having a great day. I'm not sure I am. Yeah. Hey, let me check in a minute, can you do that, K-C-7-F-M-W? Okay, what'd you say at the very last? I didn't get you all that. Go ahead.

But I'm fine now, so it's all good. Anyway, I don't know what is going on with me. I was supposed to get a haircut today, and I may go. But I'm a little worried because I just got told that my friendship has Linda got exposed to COVID when she brought Linda to me. So I'm not sure what to do, so I'm a little worried about that. They not know, and they just go back to bed. I feel fine, but I don't know. So I got to talk to someone about that. But anyway, other than that, things are good. So I will send it back to you. Have a great day. KC7SMW, back to that. OK, Maxie. Well, good to hear from you this morning. And I hope that everything goes well for you today. And we'll talk to you later. I got the title up next, KC7YFE. Go ahead, Dale. Good morning, Larry. I'm the net, KTRER, net control, and worldwide friendship, net friends, KC7YFE. Cloudy skies this morning, starting to break up. But it's mostly cloudy, though, at the moment. But it feels pretty good at the moment. We're doing OK, hanging in here the best I can. And yeah, I don't know what was going on yet last week when I was trying to do the net. And I kept getting kicked out. And it wasn't making me a very happy capper. But anyway, enough of that. Well, I'm going to plan to get my, try to work on another drum and bass song, you know, a little bit of something with drums and bass. But most of it knocked out. I just got to bring in the rest of what I want to bring in. And I'm going to try to get a little bit of a break in the rest of what I want to bring in and have it all done and ready to rock and roll here. So anyway, have a good day, Larry. I want to thank you for the net. And everyone else, I want to thank all of us here, all of you guys, all the rest of you all for a great net. It keeps me coming back. And I encourage you guys to keep coming back and keep up the good work. KC8R, you're on net control. This is KC7YFE. I'm going to send the mic back to you, but wait a minute. Got to wipe it down. There you go. Clean mic. KC7YFE. OK, Dale. You had a nice clean mic here. Hey, man, I'll take care of that other 1% that I just got from Pappy up there. Anyway, appreciate you taking this morning and making sure you're safe and cheaper. I was kind of curious. You still got that one chicken yet, or is that one gone? Oh, no, she's still around and went out to close her up last night and found three eggs in the nest. So there you go. She's got her chicken eggs out there once in a while. Back to you, KC7YFE. Well, all right, you can have some eggs for breakfast then. That's all it's about. I got a cousin in Florida that she raises chickens for the eggs in town. And she does real well with the eggs. So it'd be nice to have some, but I don't think I'd better put any in here. Anyway, you take care, and we're going to pick up Darrell, the O1 UKZ. Last but not least on the list. Go ahead, Darrell."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T07:52:56+00:00","id":14959,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14958,"text":" Okay, well we got a big pause there so let me see I got WB9CSTA7MR and Terry you're kind of under water there so and then we got the K60JR, KC7LRS, KC7CHT, GI7BR, KV7PVW and WB9CST and I didn't catch the name on that please give me your name so I can get that written down on my log here go ahead"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T07:56:07+00:00","id":14960,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":14959,"text":" Alright, thank you very much. I had to unlock the computer. It was, uh, it became locked after inactivity there, uh, for a little while. But, uh, it's all done there now. Yeah, good morning to you, man. That was quite the list. Um, I was just, uh, sat back in the chair thinking, uh, when am I gonna come up? Because the bottom is, uh, it's got to be coming close soon. And then there was another couple and another couple. Man, it's like the list didn't end. Yeah, I tried out a new headset this morning. As a matter of fact, I tried it out on the Calibunga net earlier. And, uh, I was given a good audio report from it. It's, uh, technically a gaming headset. But I figured the things that it does good at gaming, uh, audio quality through the noise-canceling mics, and, um, audio quality through the headphones itself, um, were good. Uh, extremely good. As a matter of fact, I was very impressed. I had never put on a headset in my life that sounded as good as this thing does. And, uh, for anybody that's interested in knowing what it is, it's called the SteelSeries. That's the brand name, SteelSeries. And, uh, it's an Arctis Nova 5. An arctis, just spelled A-R-C-P-I-S. It's an Arctis Nova 5 wireless. So, I highly recommend, uh, out to this station for sure. Let me tell you, it's, uh, my favorite headset ever. And that's saying something, because I've got just around my desk alone, there's five headsets. And this thing smokes all of them. Absolutely every one of them, so. If anybody is interested in a good headset for, uh, Echo Link or All Star, or, um, you know, pairing with your phone for listening to music, it's, uh, it's two-mode. It's Bluetooth, but it also comes with this little dongle that enables 2.4 gigahertz, uh, zero-latency mode. So, if you want to use this headset while you're watching a movie, or playing a game, or watching a TV show, there's zero latency, so your audio from your mic will line up perfectly with the, uh, audio from the, you know, your surroundings and stuff, in the game, or in the movie, or whatever. So, um, highly recommend these things. Uh, anybody that's interested in getting a new headset, the mic is excellent on it. Uh, at least as far as I've been told, I'm using it right now, so you can let me know. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 10 in November for the All Star Note 6222. It's, uh, it's retractable, so it's just pushing, it goes right inside the headset, you don't even see it. Uh, which makes it really good, you know, for listening to music and stuff, too, because you don't have this, uh, mic that's in your way. So, other than that, uh, my advertising is done for today. 7-3, everybody have a great day. Uh, we get nice weather here on the Rock. I'm going out on the deck to relax with smoke and, uh, some very loud music. 7-3 from here on the Rock, this is EO1, UKZ. Okay, Darrell, yeah, that sounds interesting. Uh, I may, uh, need to get another headset here myself. Uh, I've got, uh, Turtle Beach, uh, that's what I've been using for quite a while, and the, uh, coating over the, uh, ear pads that are coming off, so, uh, this still works okay. If I can get my, uh, laptop to, uh, work with it, but, uh, anyway, uh, yeah, that sounds kind of interesting. I'll have to check on those, so, uh, thanks a lot for the information. Alrighty, you have a great day, and, uh, we'll talk to you later. I'm going to try, uh, another round here. Uh, please give me a call, uh, slowly and phonetically. Give me a call at least twice so I can get everything written down. My, uh, old pencil hand is, uh, awful slow, so, uh, like me. Anyway, this is DERR, NAC Control with the World Wide Friendship.

And since I don't really go out there and take it, I got trees and buildings around me that prevent me from taking my FT818 over the horizon. Ha ha. But it'll catch some of the stuff. Anyway, I'm thinking maybe run that new QRP 100 watt slash 5 watt comfortable and maybe I'll try for that one. See if I can. Since I can't get my other equipment here, and then put it all in my trailer and back the darn trailer in against the fence, you can't get into the back of it without having something to tow it away a little bit. Anyway, so another one of the things going on here. So back to that. Thank you for bringing me in because you can't pick me up. I'll go seven micro-men back to the neck until I have a great radio deal. A-E-7 MR. Okay, Jerry. Well, good luck on that. I had a friend that was in the assistant living and the maintenance man was really handy for him. The maintenance man put an antenna outside up on the, they had a little roof sticking out from the upper part of the building and put an antenna up there for him and ran everything down there to him and I guess that worked out real well. But since then he's been in silent key. But yeah, that probably is hard to get things done like that in those assistant living places. So good luck and I hope you get something working there for you. A-6 T-2-R Glenn is up next. Go ahead, Glenn. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November, Quebec. I was here this morning and first of all thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a really nice day. It started off with a little bit of housework there. I was installing a new kitchen faucet and Murphy was right there with me. He only caused one additional trip to the big box store to pick up some unexpected parts. But other than that it all went fine. I can tell I'm getting older, getting underneath the sink like that in all kinds of contorted positions to get around the pipes and whatnot. But only mildly sore today. But after that the family kicked in and we had a great time, had a really nice dinner. So they really treated me like a king and that was nice. So today, getting ready, we're going to be hosting the Greater Irvine Chamber Business Mixer out at the Restoration Hangar. It's an opportunity to introduce what we're doing out there to all of the business leaders in Orange County here. So that should be a really nice late afternoon, early evening event there. Looking forward to it. So that's it for today. K6TKR back to netting. Okay Glenn, I know all about that. It gets under the canvas or sink and what have you. Oh man, I just had to do that here not too long ago. And I have a heck of a time getting back up. Since I had to need a replace, they don't work like they did before, you know. You don't have that initial push to get up. So you got to grab a hold of something and all that. Like you say, you got to get contorted just to get out of that plumbing. It seems like I can make stuff a lot easier to get at and make it workable so that you can change the parts. Seems like every time you get into plumbing though, you've always got to get something else that you didn't expect to put in. So I know how that is. So after I don't like plumbing at all. Most other stuff I like to do, but plumbing is what I'm crazy about. I got all the stuff to do it with though. So anyway, you have a great day and Glenn, you had a great birthday there. So you take care and you're probably still a young guy though. Anyway, you got KZ7LRS, KZ7CHT, Joyce and Joe are up next.

Thanks for your help with that. How you been? Yeah, I always connect my node to the All Star, so I'll have it on the higher one.

Hey, good morning, you, Bill, and everybody listening on the net. Could be a short net or we get to talk a long time, Bill. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta Michael here in Kirkland, just north of downtown. And it's a rainy day out, everybody knows that. I wonder if Jim's, the little snow he's getting rain over there at the lake. Rained about two tenths of an inch, rain two tenths yesterday, really poured for us last night. I heard it anyway, I'm humid right now, though I can feel that too. So I'm not doing too much here, I'm packing for the Bigfoot. And they moved our site to a site that is not very large and I don't know if it's gonna be able to take all the vehicles and people. And we may have competition from regular campers too, so anyway, we'll see. On Saturday morning, I go down tomorrow to a place called Coldwater Lake for one night and set up ham gear. Anyway, that's what's going on over here, Bill. Not much else to talk about. Everybody should have a safety out there. Whiskey Alpha Seven Alpha Delta. All right, thank you, Michael. Well, it's kind of a gray day. And looking out there, I just see a gray sky behind my two telltale trees. And they're just sitting there, so there's no breeze to speak of. So yep, it's a gray day. And a gray day, I suppose. All right. Thank you, Michael. And Rich, how's the listing going? W4RCH, good morning. Good morning, Bill. Good morning, everyone on that. Listing's going pretty good. We're going to have our first open house this weekend. We've had a little bit of traffic, which is always encouraging. So we'll just play it day by day. You know, the wonderful thing about selling a house is you never know what's gonna happen 10 minutes from now. Anyway, yeah, it definitely is gray here and very, very calm. Supposed to be sunny this afternoon or warm up a good bit, but I was grateful to see the little bit of rain that we had. We had a total of just under half an inch, but the ground is a little damp now. I don't know if I'd really call it wet. But every little bit helps this time of year. We're grateful for it. The straw that we call grass might actually show a little bit of green, but I don't know that we've had enough water for that to really happen. Anyway, that's life here in Lake Stevens. This is Rich, W4RCH. Back to you, Bill. All right, thank you, Rich. Yeah, I hate that yellow, dried look of a lawn. So we keep ours watered, fortunately. We're on a independent water system here in a large aquifer, so it's fairly inexpensive to keep it green. But yeah, half an inch of rain. I didn't look at the rain gauge. That's enough to get things started to green up. That'll be nice. But summer's not over yet. We'll still have lots of dry weather. All right, thank you, Rich. K7, PDZ. Morning, Jim. Good morning, Bill. And everybody out there today. And we had rain last night too here. It was just a gentle rain, and it was really still pretty warm out there. And so we sat out in the rain, basically. We do not have a covered deck here, or a covered patio. So we put up the umbrella. We have our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our, our sun umbrella is rectangular. It's about five by seven when it's up. So we just put the, put the umbrella over our two chairs and a table. We sat out in the rain and it was, it was so much fun. It was just so, so, so enjoyable doing that. Haven't done that for a long time. Always had a, always had a covered, a covered front porch. So we used to sit out, out in the, when it was raining back in Ohio all the time. So this was, this was, we haven't done that for a long time. So we had a lot of fun doing that. And today we're supposed to have, it's sunny out here now, 63 degrees, but we're supposed to have some standard thunderstorms this afternoon. So not going to plan on doing too much outside today. So anyway, I don't know. That's about all that's going on here. Been watching our neighbors. They're having, they're having, there's some divers out in front of their place. They were here yesterday. They're using a vacuum system to suck up all the weeds, all the seaweed under their dock and in their swimming area. So I hate to think how much that's costing them. So anyway, that's about all we got going on here. So it's time for maybe by now, people have gotten a little bit of coffee in them and are waking up. So anyway, that's all I got to. So just like Michael, we'll talk as long time as I can. Back to you, Bell, 73's everybody. And Michael, you have a lot of fun there on your Bigfoot this weekend. So anyway, 73's, this is Jim and Jane at Deer Lake K7. PDZ. All right, thank you, Jim. Well, scattered thunderstorms. That could be a pretty dramatic afternoon. And yeah, get some rain out of it also probably. Well, I hope it's just a dramatic afternoon and doesn't start any fires or anything. Then you're talking about the vacuuming of the lake. That just sounds a bit weird. And I bet it is expensive. But yeah, to get a swimming area cleared out like that, that's pretty nice. Interesting to say the least. All right. This is the nine o'clock bend for a Thursday morning. More check-ins, please. All right. Whiskey Quebec 7 Hotel, this is James. Good morning, James. WQ 7H, next please.

I don't know if he's listening, but I do want to thank Gregor. And I forget his call. What is his call? Where are you? I wrote it down somewhere. Anyway, I was having some problems running a shell script to reinstall some software. And I had an apprenthese in the wrong spot. It was just like, it was, yeah. It was just on the wrong side of another character. And so he asked me what my error was, so I just sent him the line that the error was on that I couldn't see. I was blind and I couldn't see. And so I sent it to him and he, like, you know, five seconds later, oh, parent is in the wrong spot. I'm going, oh, yeah, you're right. So I moved it and by golly, if that didn't solve the problem, I said, well, you know, it's always good to have the good eyes people. So good on Gregor. And we thank you. Because I don't know why. I mean, it's like, and I went back to look at the original source. It's like, how did I do that? I mean, it's like I copied for Beta. I just lifted it right off. Oh, well. Crazy, crazy. But I love doing that stuff because it keeps my brain engaged. That was good. Anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful day. I got to do some banking here this morning or the bank is going to thrash me. And there you go. That's what I'm up to. I'm going to go to vetco tomorrow. I need a quarter inch plug. A little, not a, three, what is it? It's not the, it used to be, you know, you used to use those quarter inch audio jacks and then it became the micro version. And that's right for my CW paddle. Cause that's what the new radio wants. It doesn't take the ginormous audio plug. The other one, that's what I need for my paddle. Get one of those. And then I'll be off to the fruit market. But that's for tomorrow. Today I'm home. Yay. So anyway, everyone have a great day. It's great skies now, but we might get some sunshine. Maybe. We might get some rain. Be well, be safe, don't burn. And because I'm learning a new radio, RTFM everyone. WQ7H back to Bothellville. All right. Thank you, James. Well, you covered, covered a lot of topic and the, uh, getting the, uh, the net warmed up for the day. All right. This is W7VAS with the nine o'clock net. So why, why is it that a paddle or a key is a quarter inch jack? Um, headphones used to be quarter inch and now they're, they're eighth inch or whatever size that is. And, uh, that, uh, that took a long time coming, but, uh, modern, modern radio, um, like mine here is a quarter inch jack on the back. Um, two of them, I guess, one for a paddle, one for a key. Anyway, strange. Let's see, what would you call that? Um, history, certainly. Tradition, that's the word. Okay. Um, thank you, James. And down to Prineville, KD7, Papa Whiskey Bravo. Morning, Dave. Good morning, Bill on the net. Hey, great to hear you this morning. And, uh, yeah, kind of Karen there, of course. And let's see, uh, well, we got a starting to be sunny kind of day. Kind of started out kind of cloudy, but, uh, things are clearing off. We're supposed to be up in about 76 or 77 this afternoon for a high. So actually a pretty nice day shaping up here in the high desert. Eq is down at two. And so, yeah, it's really pleasant. Um, let's see, Sam's down in bed this morning. She's off doing a site survey for work. And that one of the, whatever the hospital or, uh, some kind of a facility that she's installing in there. And any rate, um, so, yeah, she's off. Um, I've got a bunch of little things to do and some shopping to do. And then it's into the shop and get some work done on some guitars. And, uh, I got a couple of rocks I'm cutting. They're kind of fun. They're landscape Jasper type material and kind of fun to see what's in these things. Because you never know when you cut it open. So kind of fun to play with that. And, uh, other than that, um, just kind of hanging out. So there you go. Well, I'll say 73. So now I keep it kind of short and thanks for doing the net and I'll turn it back. Katie seven Papa whiskey. Bravo, Dave, the high desert pirate radio. All right. Thank you, Dave. And, uh, you know, James said something that about, uh, keep keeping your brain active. And I know you do with all the stuff that you got going on. I, uh, I can't believe you're doing, uh, doing nothing. Yeah, that's interesting. And apparently it's been proven in the medical field that keeping the brain active keeps things like dementia at bay. All right. So doing a site survey. And, uh, that's a, that's a good thing to do before you start installing big equipment, like, like she, uh, sells. And, uh, that was fascinating when we got together a few years ago when she was describing that stuff. And that was, uh, yeah, fascinating. And I see that system. I don't know if there are competitors or if it's just that one company that makes it, but I see systems like that, um, in various places. All right.

Uh, speech and journalism and television production and all of that was all tied together. By the time I graduated, they had separated them, and I, I, uh, followed the course of television production. And, borjened that for a goodly amount of time. Anyway, good luck to them.

And, uh, I understand it's better to have it renewed because if you ever want a home equity loan again, there's a whole bunch of stuff to go through. So, let's keep it alive. I know my wife used to go down and get a home equity loan every time I needed to do Harley. And I think she bought me a 14 or 15 home for me. So, that's how I got my half a million miles. Great fun. Anyway, that's what I'm doing here. I'm going to get into some more book work after a bit with the insurance companies. Some are a pain in the butt, but they've got to be done. So, good night, Bill. For that, I'm going to say 73s and have a wonderful rest of your day. KG7WOI."}]}
