Headed into Seattle for some work before I got to head up north to Linwood and then out to Woodinville. It's a lot of driving around today. Overcast right now. I think it's supposed to stop raining and get a little bit nicer today, which I hope for because I'll be going to the Seahawks game later. The first preseason game is tonight. I've got some friends invited me, and so we're going to go do that. They're playing the Raiders. So, yeah, it should be a lot of fun. But it'll be a busy day because I'll go straight from work down to Seattle to the stadium area, so I won't even make a stop back at home. But that's okay. It'll be a lot of fun. Anyway, that's what I got going on. 7-3, everyone. Can I beat easy? Boy, it's hard to believe we're into football season already. Seafare has passed, and August is trucking along here. Pretty soon it'll be Labor Day. And what happened? Summer goes by so fast. All right. Thanks, Brooks. And enjoy the game. That's neat that you get to go, and, yeah, and be there. Okay, game one.

I remember I heard about one and I'm checking some messages and I can't remember when that is. Is that still going on? KK7QMM. Hey there, K. There was a six meter net, but it's kind of on hiatus. It used to be five minutes after the new net started and then it would take two rounds of check-ins or whatever. But, yeah, it's on hiatus now because we don't have anyone to host it at the moment. But, so yeah, the repeater is still there though, so you can get on the repeater. K9BDZ. K9BDZ, KK7QMM. Hey Brooks, uh, okay, yeah, I was wondering, that's too bad because I finally got my six meter antenna working and paired it with the IC705. And, uh, just wanted to see if I could test it out. But, uh, hopefully I'll hear some activity on that sometime. I will be monitoring it. Uh, have a great day today and if you're up in the Woodinville area, uh, give me a call. Okay, thanks a lot. Have a great day. Take care. KK7QMM, clear. Yeah, sounds good there. Hey, and I just, I remember too, so the Lake Washington Ham Club, their health and wellness net is at 11. Um, and they've got a six meter repeater that is tied into that, so you can test out your equipment on there. Um, you'd have to go to their website and look up the address or the frequency as I don't have it memorized. Um, yeah, check that out if you want to test out your six meter stuff. Anyway, yeah, um, I'm not sure I'll have some time today. I kind of have a busy day, but, uh, yeah, we'll definitely see if we can't connect sometime here in the near future.

It's Thursday, August 7, 2025. This is a midday net to see who's out there listening and to see if any of you would like to let us know what's happening with you. If you'd like to give an I.O. or a report of up to three minutes, all I need is your name and call sign. Again, I'm Jack KI7RMU. Come in now with you. Call sign and name, please. West Campus Alpha 7, Alpha Delta, Michael. Grossi W7DNG. Alright, Mike, you, Grossi, you as well, Moore Station. All Star, Note 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. CTO Bravo 8, Bravo Mike Yankee. Alright, CTO as well, KPA, BM1, anybody else? Sir, JMO 5-0 Comeback, JMO team there within IO. Alright, dearest, thank you so much. Have a great afternoon. KM0Q within IO. Let's go back to WA7AD. Michael, good afternoon, sir. Hey, good afternoon Jack and hello everybody listening. This is Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta Michael Aaron Kirkland, Washington. And you're not supposed to, this is supposed to be longer because I had a big bite of tamale in my mouth. I'm having lunch and I've done most of my packing for Bigfoot. So, I'm going to do my suitcase tonight and some cold items tomorrow in a little freezer, chest cooler. And then hit the road I guess. Except we have, they moved our second base to some river thing and I don't think there's enough room there. And we're praying that there are any other campers that want to pull in there and park because it's right next to a river. Up where we were at Click Attack there was no water so people didn't really park up there. I guess we can't have Click Attack because the fire guys are using that as a staging area. Which I'm surprised because there's a bigger area on another road that's closer to where the fire is. Oh well Jack, we'll see how it goes. Tonight cold water then on to Click Attack tomorrow. Out of the new Click Attack base I guess. So, that's it from here Jack. Thanks for on the net. Everybody have a safe day. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. Michael, are you saying that there is an active fire in the area or are you just saying that is where fire is staged in case there is one? Back to you. Well I need your check today. It was called the Midway Fire. It's down there at this way. They went out to another fire in the city of Washington in Greenwater called Midway. This is down in the pinao or whatever it is, that forest. Here's six acres and they're staging their fire crews up here to go fight this fire. Two or three days ago they had a perimeter around it. It's probably out by now. Haven't checked yesterday and today on it. So they moved the course quite a bit. And moved our base quite a bit and I don't like it but that's the way it goes. We'll see how it goes. Back to you sir. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta. Alright Michael, it sounds like you've got everything prepared and you've readied yourself just in case there's any changes in the schedule. So anyway, if you have a great big flood 200 I hope everybody has a good time out there and I wish the greatest success to all the participants. Alright, well let's go figure out what the heck. Michael thank you so much. Talk to you later and say hi to Kathy. And you know me, I build the list quick. I start taking reports right away. No fooling around here. Alright, let's go talk to W7DNG. Mr. Procrastinator, I bet you're on top of it today though. Is that right there, Grossy? Yeah, of course. You know that. I got up at 930 to that shock and awe. Well, everybody's laughing at that I bet because there's a lot of people I don't get up a water earlier than that. But again, I hate to shove this in everybody's face but retirement is so much fun. You have to get up and go to bed when you want, go here, go there, whatever you feel like. You know it's just kind of like a big circle of nothing going on. But whatever you want. See even stuff like that, getting messages from the dark side. It's overcast out here today. I saw a brand new little itty bitty bunny this morning. Must have been a new batch. Mr. Stud must be having a good time because boy, they're popping up all over the place. I counted the other day coming back from the mailbox which is about a half a mile from my house. I counted 27 rabbits. So they're still, they're not procrastinating. Hey, everybody have a good day. Better tomorrow if it gets warm, hydrated, if not, still hydrate. Have a good day. W7, DNG. Hey, I want to make a point of clarification there. So I heard you say, uh oh, a message from the dark side. But it sounded like Yoda. Has he switched over perhaps? I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. What was that? I said your phone made some sort of signal like you just got a message. And you said, oh, messages from the dark side. But I think it was Yoda that made the comment. And I don't think Yoda's on the dark side unless you put him over there. I got that for my messaging. I always got a kick out of that one. So, yeah, if anybody sends me a message that comes across, oh, a message from the dark side. Some of them are pretty dark, but otherwise, uh, yeah. W7, DNG. Oh, I see. Okay. All right. Well, I've found your rabbits. That is an awful lot. I tell you, that would, trying to count that many rabbits, would just definitely break my TI calculator. Let's go talk to Mike, KB8, BMI. Yeah, hi, Jack. I wanted to turn off the truck side and have a lot of background noise here. And hopefully the audio is good. It's overcast here in Lacey. Just got back to the yard. And it looks like I'm headed up to Krusty's up in Kent. And, uh, gonna drop and hook there and probably head back. So, um, we got a, I went through a little bit of rain by Nisqually. So we're still getting some rain, which is helpful. And, uh, it's not raining now, but, uh, went through that. It was a fairly good rainfall. So, anyway, that's about it. Just having lunch here. And, uh, and that's about it. Just listening to that. Uh, you guys have a good afternoon. And 7-3 from Lacey, KB8, BMI. Oh, yeah. Background noise was definitely cut way, way down. I can't hardly hear anything but you. That's great. All right. We have a nice, mellow afternoon. Sounds like low, low stress today. That is fantastic. All right, Mikey. Take care. Let's see what time it is. 10, no, it's almost 10. Uh, 1208. I was gonna say almost 10 minutes past the top of the hour. I'm Jack KI7RMU. Darren checked in with an I-O. KM0Q, let's go get some more check-ins if you'd like to join us here on the PSRG new net. Come ahead. Call sign name. Kifo Juliet 7, Romeo Alpha Bravo, Cami. Fantastic. I've got you, Cami.

What's going on? Are you working today? Ah, yes, a dumb question, isn't it? KJ7RAP, good afternoon. Here's the funny Jack. KJ7RAP, can't be here. Of course I'm working. Jack, I worked until after midnight last night, I know. I'm so tired, so tired and there's no end in sight. I did get done a specific thing I needed to get done last night. I hope I did it well and didn't make too many errors because, you know, when you're tired, that kind of lends itself to making errors. But I was pretty careful and I don't think I made any and I think the person who received my work product was pretty happy about it. It was one of those things that was a rush, a job that needed to be done right away. So, you know, until I learned how to manufacture time or get one of those time turners that Hermione Granger had in Harry Potter or figure out how to clone myself, I'm stuck with working long hours. Let's see, today's Thursday, I'm so happy, tomorrow's Friday. I'm really looking forward to the weekend because it has been a long, brutal week. And then, when I went to take the trash out to the curb last night, the weather decided to start just dumping rain. So I had a t-shirt on and leggings and no hat and holy moly, it was just a little downpour. And then when I came back in, I looked at the news and it was showing the radar and there was this little tiny cell right above Arlington. And so it looked like there was this little rain cloud right above our house just dumping rain on me, just in time to go out there and take the trash out. It was pretty funny because it happened immediately at the drop of a hat and then went away and I'm like, really? Waited until I took the trash out, but it's all good. Yeah, other than that, just working, lurking, I'm happy that you all are keeping me company and I'm really looking forward to the Rain or Shine ice cream social, you know, Brooks and Meghan Jubilee. So, I got that going for me. Thanks for hosting. Thanks for getting me in and radio waves to you, Jeff. I wasn't afraid to drink my coffee this morning. Hi, hi. KJ7RAB, back to you. All right. Thank you, Kevin. I'm really looking forward to seeing you and the whole gang out there at Green Lake for the ice cream social Sunday. I know Meghan, I know she had mentioned that she was printing up the ice cream tickets and then she ran out of ink and she ran out of paper stock, so she had to race off and get some of that. So I hope that happens. I just got an announcement. Chat GPT5 has been released, I guess, four different flavors. I don't know if they've got them all out today, but that's going to be very curious. They say this is really quite something. Anyway, more on that later. All right, Kami, good to hear you. Yeah, I love the rain. I stood out there last night and it was a sprinkling night. It wasn't really coming down hard, but I just had, you know, I just had a t-shirt and shorts on and I was just out there just standing in the rain just letting it hit my head and just feeling that. And I think that knocked down some of the smoke, which is a definitely good thing for our lungs. I don't mind that one bit, but let's go talk to Jeff. Kami, have a great afternoon. AB6MB. Hey, Jeff, what's happening? Oh, see here. Sunny outside and 73 degrees here. Very nice day. See here, I suppose they have the cleaners come over today, but there is a mix up on their scheduling. So they'll be here Monday to do their magic. And it is like magic. They're amazingly good. Yeah, watching some racing, bicycle racing on TV here. And I just talked out the nuts out on the patio. I saw the princess earlier, but there's nobody out there, right? No squirrel, that is. But they're going to be here any minute because it's right around their feeding time. They do know how to keep time, you know, and pretty smart, smart little guys. Meanwhile, got some cleaning to do here, wash some dishes and get things moving. And that back's been bothering me. I've been taking some stuff for pain, so it helps. But you know, when they do this bicycle race, they do a lot of shots where they're way up in the air and you're looking at the whole town. And you know, you're up there, they just have the prettiest towns. And it's just really nice to see that. And I actually saw one village where they actually incorporated the turrets, the fort and the walls into, it was like apartment buildings. And so that was pretty cool. That's pretty creative. Okay, well turn it back to you, Jack. That's about it for here. I drank out my coffee, so I'll see if I can get up the courage to go make a second cup and not be afraid to drink it. The AB6MB. Alright, well you have a great afternoon there, Jeff. Hey, now that the tour de france is over, you have got to go check out what they've done up at Whistler. At Whistler, they have, I think it's the biggest bike park on the planet. And I tell you, these trails, there's just tons of trails. And they had these two riders just going down as many of them. I think they tried to do all of them in this video. The video runs for over an hour. And I tell you, they are just flying down these hills. Unreal. And they are just having a blast. And I'm just thinking how are all these guys just not dead because they are just flinging themselves up and over the entire course and just having a blast. I don't know how fast they are really going time wise and speed wise, but man, right through the trees, little tiny trails. Anyway, you would really enjoy that. In fact, I'll send you a link if you want to see the one I watched last night. Anyway, don't be afraid to drink your coffee. I have another cup. It's on me. And we'll talk to you soon, Jeff.

Thank you, John. Appreciate that W70H. Let's go back to Dan. Well, in traffic. I got an Aurora north of Green Lake. From there to the museum it says an hour. It is crazy in the city. Anyway, um, but other than the traffic, everything else is fine. It's dry out for that little bit of rain we had. Um, I'm going to be at the museum tonight. It's a free first Thursday, so if anybody wants to come for free, come Thursday at 5 o'clock till 9. Museum is free. Um, that's about it. I don't have anything really exciting. Uh, just, uh, thought I'd drop in since it's afternoon. I missed it. Normally I'm down there all by now. So, anyway, everybody have a good time. And, uh, what time does the social start? On Sunday at Green Lake. I'm going to sign off there, 73W70H. Well, officially the noon net gets underway at noon there, but of course, you know, people show up early and I'll get there pretty dark. I'll start setting things up and, you know, just saying hi to people as they, uh, march in. And, uh, so I'd say, you know, noon officially, of course, but you don't get there anytime. Just like a normal noon, uh, sort of, right there. Alright, I hope that helps. Hey, Dan, so in the merch shop down at the, uh, museum there, so do they have any of the new, uh, literature, things you can buy, keychains, whatever, for the new Super Hornets? By chance. Well, they must. Um, I don't think most people differentiate, and that type of thing for sure is whether it's the Super Horn or the Olden, because cosmetically they're almost identical unless you're up close. But, uh, certainly they do. And the Blue Angels were here recently, so they probably still have some of their stuff as well. W70H. Alright, if anybody wants to know and doesn't want to pay for a ticket for admission, to find out you can do that tonight at the Museum of Flight there at Bowie Field, because admission is free from 5pm to 9pm. Alright, Dan, well have a great afternoon down there. Enjoy the rest of the morning and, no wait, the rest of the morning is gone. Enjoy the afternoon. There we go. W70H, talk to you soon. Alright, John from Tomato Island dropped by with an I.O., thank you. Let's get some more check-ins for the new net here on PSRT.

Hey, good afternoon, Tree. I've got you on the list. Hey, let's go back to Harmon and say hello. Harmon, how are you? KM-7AWB. Hello, everyone. I'm back in Seattle here, enjoying the rain like everybody else. I've been getting over a little bit of jet lag from having the opportunity to spend a few days with family in the London area this past month. I had kind of an interesting, maybe fun fact to share. I was in the Richmond area by London, which everybody probably knows is the location of the fictional Premier League soccer team coached by Ted Lasso, the Richmond Greyhounds. But a more truthful story is that it's also the location where George Vancouver wrote his journals after he returned from this part of the country, and it's also where he is married and I had the chance to visit his grey site. He passed away about two years after he returned to England, and so a lot of what came to pass from his voyage was well known then, so his grey site is just kind of a nondescript single grey. But given the fact that he was the fellow that was named Mount Rainier and Whippy Island and Puget Sound and on and on up the coast, I thought it might be something to be interesting to know that he's buried in St. Peter's Church just by the Richmond area. With that, I think I'll send it back to the net. KM-7AWB, Harmon. Alright, that sounds like a fantastic vacation. I just have time to get out and see various things in the London area, visit with family, and then go to the grave of George Vancouver. And I believe that those journals, I'm just trying to look that up, I think they are already on the, uh, I got that translated. I think this, well, there's a number of things about the Northwest on Project Gutenberg, but I think that Vancouver journals are there now. I'm trying to look that up, and I think that these are them. But of course, they are available. Oh, that's great, that is really cool. Well, welcome back, good to hear you, and I didn't even know you were over there. I had no idea, so that's fantastic. Alright, next time, we'll talk to you soon, I hope. Okay, let's see who is next. I think it's James WQ-7H. Hi James, what's going on this afternoon? WQ-7H, I'm James, good afternoon Jack and everyone. It's always good to hear Michael. We have waste management going through the neighborhood, so Hazel's very excited to see her friends, which means that she's missed sparks a lot. I've been back in the cave here, taking care of business. Taking care of business! And so I'm just about finished up here. And then I'm going to have a little lunch, and try to run. I want to do something. I need to thank Gregor, he's the guy with good eyes. I was having troubles with a shell script last night, and I had a parenthesis in the wrong spot. And by golly, he took about five seconds to spot it. So thanks to Gregor, the man with the good eyes. So he sure helped out a lot. That was a big help. Big, big, big, big, big help. Thank you Gregor. And that's kind of what's going on. Tomorrow I'm going to run down to VEDCO and pick up a 1-8 inch, is that the size? Smaller plug. My key has a ginormous quarter inch audio plug on it. On my paddles. And the new radio doesn't take that. I don't want to use an adapter. So we're going to go down and get the correct plug, the little mini plug. And swap that out so that I can use my paddles to practice. Practice, practice, practice. And probably stop by the fruit market and pick up some stuff. I have one onion left. And there it is. Get ready for the weekend. WQ7H back to Jack. Alright James, have fun at VEDCO. Well, you know like any kind of fun store like that, where they have so much stuff. You go in there, hey do you guys have this? I just need a little 1-8 inch plug of some sort for your key. Oh yeah, it's right here. Here you go sir. And you get that and then you're like, okay thank you. Let's see, how much is that? And then you see something in the case. Then you see something off to the side and you say, could you just hold onto that for me? I'll be back in just a few minutes. I see a couple of things I may want or actually you think you need them but you probably don't. But it's just so cool you got to have it right? Have you ever had that experience at VEDCO?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T12:34:05+00:00","id":15030,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15029,"text":" I've totally blown my budget several times over for this month, so...

Say hi to Ms. Marks for the lot. Okay. KK7HKB3. Good afternoon. Well, good evening Jack and everybody on the net. Positive vibes being sent out to everybody. I'm just hanging out for the last couple minutes. I'm about to head out for a haircut. And then I'm going to go to the gym. Maybe a little bit of lunch. And yeah, I'm still enjoying time off. Chillaxing, as I like to say. And yeah, I'm enjoying listening to the net. Everybody sounds great. Take care. KK7HKB. Back to net. Alright, Tree. I'm going to test your memory because we've done so many rain or shine nets at so many events between the... the day I started at Ham Radio and now that I still don't remember meeting you in person. Are you going to be at Sunday's rain or shine net at Green Lake? Unfortunately, I will not. I'm on call on Sunday, so I have to stay close to home in case I get paged to handle something. But no, we did meet very, very briefly at the rain or shine that was at Gasworks Park. It was in October, I think. It rained really hard that day. I remember that. I was drenched when I got home. But we were in the pavilion and there was like a... there was some kind of like brass band that was like on the other side of the pavilion. They were pretty good, but also very loud. But yeah, unfortunately can't make it. KK7HKB. Alright, yeah. I used to do a call many years ago and you know, I just... I got so frustrated having to stick around the house to wait for a call that may or may not ever come. And I just thought, you know, this is a long time ago, right? So I'm just thinking, alright, there's got to be a better way to do it. I got myself a little, you know, a little hotspot from the carrier I was with at the time. I got my laptop. I outfitted it with a plug so I could do it in the car there. And man, I tell you, that was really slick and then I hardly ever got called. So I don't know, maybe that's a good strategy. Alright, yeah, that was the pumpkin. I think that was the Halloween pumpkin carving rain or shine that we did for Halloween. And I do remember that everybody's like, wow, that band, whoever they are, they are really loud. Yeah, well, it's brass though. And that pavilion is definitely is loud and all the sound is bouncing off those giant machines that are still there. Anyway, alright, Tri, well have a great weekend. Hope the uncalled is not too painful. And hey, nice to hear you. We'll talk to you very soon. Okay, and we have that officially. There we go. I have to take a look at those pictures, see if I can identify you. 1230 p.m., I'm Jack KI7RME for the PSRG new net. Let's see who else is out there. For the new net, if you'd like to join us, we're taking calls from RF internet or internationally connected All Star or Echo Link nodes. Command, call, sign a name. K308.

But yeah, that brass band was really loud. Hahaha! But in spite of that, by golly did we have a good time and in spite of the rain. And yeah, that was a real deluge that day. But boy did we have fun. Anyway, Jack, not much else going on here. You know, I'm always working on little projects around here. I got an antenna. I gotta come up with something for this evening. So we'll see how that goes. And I still don't have the 250B up. I don't know. I may or may not put it up. Not sure. I might put up something else this time. In any case, I am staying active over here, Jack. Radioactive is good. Back to you, K30E. Okay, well then I think that what you're saying, since the big antenna is not up still in the hallway there. Is it the case that Jack who runs the CNL net out of Wisconsin has not heard you since you left Tampa? Jack, I don't think propagation actually works that way. But well, maybe it does. Because he does have, let's see, is it an Arizona station? There is a West Coast station that checks in on the CNL net from time to time. But I've never heard him out here. At least not on any antenna that I've had here. But the noise level is just terrible in this area. So it's usually about S6 or S7. So it's hard to hear anything. But you know, it's still nice to have the rig up and running just in case. Back to you, K30E. Alright, well, and you know, I wonder if you might be able to do a relay through another station. Maybe a multi-op relay. Is that a possibility? Maybe. Jack, I think I've heard Chuck do that. So yes, that is a possibility. Well, you just gave me an idea that I hadn't thought of. So I'll have to check that out. And other than that, Jack, Polo's keeping me straight. And Jack, I've got an... Oh, I've got something going on here. Hard shadows over here in West Seattle all of a sudden. Back to you, K30E. Oh, I'm liking that report. Well, I just ran over to the window real quick. I don't see any hard shadows yet. I still see overcast. But it does look like it has gotten a little bit lighter out there. So I'm liking that. Alright, well, yeah, go put up that big old antenna. Well, if you can, maybe. Maybe let it fully dry out before you try to do anything just outside the window there. But alright, we'll talk to you soon, Rich. Thank you very much. Have a great afternoon. Say hi to Polo, of course. And let's go talk to Fred. K-E-8-Q-F-T. Hi, Fred. Hello out there in the West Coast, the Pacific Northwest. Just thought I'd get in here and say hello today. Hope you're doing okay, Jack. 82 degrees here in suburban Cleveland, Ohio. And I was out doing some yard work, but I didn't do much. It started getting warm. I got the air conditioner on. Haven't had it on since last week some time. It's just starting to heat up as you're around here again. Hope it won't keep you too long. Thought I'd say hi. K-E-8-Q-F-T. I'm back to you, Jack. Alright, Fred. Nice to hear you. I'm looking at your QRZ page here, and it just boils down your entire career to the various jobs you've had in your life there. I know you were out there at Fort Lewis many years ago. What did you do in the Army? I don't think you've ever mentioned that. Back to you, Fred. K-E-8-Q-F-T. Well, I first went in as a combat engineer and then got diverted from Vietnam and sent to Germany. It's a long 20-year story. But I got to Germany, threw me in the tank, and then I reenlisted and went to signal school at Fort Gordon, Georgia. You know, signals and communications. And I spent like the next 15 years working the communications, primarily telephone. K-E-8-Q-F-T. Back to net. Alright, well, Red, you checked in right before he was in the Army. He was in Germany too, stationed there for a while. You guys have that in common and many other things, probably. But, hey, thank you very much for checking in. Good to hear you, boy, in a tank. Yikes. Boy, I bet that's loud in there. Talk about you don't want a brass band inside of a tank either. Good to hear you, Fred. Hey, y'all, good afternoon. Thanks a lot. Let's go talk to Brooks, K-9-B-E-C. What's happening, Brooks? Good afternoon, Jack and everyone on that. K-9-B-E-C, Brooks here, mobile in Woodinville. I just left the branch a little bit ago, making my way out towards my customer. I'm going to go make a little pit stop here at W7-ASM's place and drop off a guitar book that we got from Boston Overbill to Hand Over Nams. So I'll stop and make a little pit stop, drop that off, and then off to the rest of my work day. And then, yeah, then I'll have to make my way down to Seattle because I'm going to the Seahawks game tonight. A buddy of mine had some tickets and got invited, so I got to meet them down in South Seattle at their workplace because there's plenty of parking at their workplace. And then we're all going to take one car, one parking pass to the stadium, so it should be a lot of fun. Let's see, what else I got going on is the home office slash radio shack is all emptied out as of last night. And so it is ready for some paint on the walls and some popcorn sealing to come down that's going to be happening over the next few days. And so hopefully by Monday I can start putting together the new desks and bookshelf and stuff to go in there. So looking forward to all of that. And yeah, so that's what I got going on here. Also, you know, we got the Rainier Shrine coming up this weekend, so that's going to look forward to that too. So lots of stuff going on right now, Jack. Anyway, I'm going to say 73, K9, BDC, back to that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T12:44:37+00:00","id":15034,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15033,"text":" Alright, anybody else for the new net? 56, First Cut Delta Uniform.

Enjoy that game tonight. Yeah, you mentioned the other day that guess who they're going to be playing? They're going to be playing Gino Smith and Pete Carroll on the opposing team. Yikes. Oh man, this is going to be a loud game. Hey Brooks, you know one time years ago I was driving through downtown right by the stadium and I was kind of backed up on the aqueduct thing they tore down. It was really interesting because it was pretty backed up. It was a nice night. The hawks were playing and I opened up the windows because I thought I heard something like a really loud sound of some sort. It was a game. I could hear them from the viaduct. So that was really interesting. Have you ever done that? Have you ever had that experience? Have you heard a game or maybe a concert or a hawks game? Oh yeah, you can definitely hear the stadium when you drive by if you've got your windows down when a game is going on for sure. I don't know if you know this, Jack, but this is just a little random piece of information. My very first job was working at the Seahawks stadium when it was called the Seahawks stadium. I was 16 and I worked for Salem's Best Coffee and filled up water in the coffee carts. But anyway, weird random fact. Thanks for the minute, Jackson. Oh wow, now that is interesting. I had no idea. Wow, that is great. I've got to talk to you about that a little bit more sometime. Alright, well thank you, Brooks. Have a great day. Enjoy that game tonight. And like I like to say, even though it's the preseason, go rocks! Of course I would say that. Come on. Alright, anyway, take care. Thanks for getting the guitar book to John.

I'll take your word for it. Man, I just, you just brought some lunch to my room and I've been snacking on that. Otherwise, nothing exciting is happening. I'd like to string up an outside antenna. Just a piece of wire I can match it with an antenna tuner, antenna coupler. That's interesting. Is it an antenna tuner or an antenna coupler? Actually, this is a coupler because it matches impedances. It doesn't really tune the antenna. However, some people have actual tuners. That's a whole other issue with a lot of opinions. That's it. That's my wise words of wisdom, W6F to you. All right, well, thank you for that. Well, they estimate there are three million licensed ham operators around the world. Now, three million.

Hey, Paul. Yeah, good afternoon, Jack and everyone on the net. We've had a beautiful day here in Maine. It's 80 degrees. Yeah, it's 80. The sunny and calm wind and low humidity can't beat that. Yeah. And we haven't had any more Canadian smoke since the weekend. So that's a good thing. Monday, it was pretty bad. And I've kind of been off the radio more this past week because my wife took a spill. And she fractured three vertebrae and a rib. So she was home for a bit. So I was helping her. And she's able to go back to work in the last couple of days. So she's doing better. Still sore. The doctor said it's just rest. Take it easy. Don't list anything. Just favor it as much as you can. And she has a desk job. So she's patting her chair and stuff. So she's doing OK. Not perfect, but OK. Better than she was. So yeah, that was an unfortunate thing. But yeah, we're celebrating her birthday this weekend. So that'll cheer her up with a lobster dinner. That's what we're going to do. Anyway, we're going to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. Hope you do too, Jack. Have a great day. And we'll talk again soon. This is KC1DQS. All right, yeah, I think, no, I'm not sure you mentioned that your wife had the spill there. Oh, that's a bummer. Oh, boy. All right, so she's got the desk job. She's getting back to work. Or she had a limited schedule. Does she have the ability to take some personal time off if she needs? Yeah, she does have sick leave. And she did take some of that. She actually fell off our dock and landed on rocks. And that's what did the injury. And it was a wound shear. She put a little too much weight on it. And the chair gave way. And both of them ended up off the dock. So that was not fun. And she did take some time. But she's trying to save as much as she can. Because the end of the 23rd, she goes on vacation for two weeks. And she's trying not to cut into that time. Because she's not ever had two weeks in a row before. And she's really looking forward to this. So she says if she can grin and bear it, she's going to try to see it through. And the doctor said there's no limitations as long as you. Lifting is a bad thing. And not a lot of walking. That kind of bothers her. But sitting doesn't so much. And as long as she can tolerate that, the doctor said she's fine. So there's nothing that's going to come out of place. It's all just mostly cracks or fractures. And nothing is just lodged or anything. So anyway, hopefully that will help. And the only painkiller she's on is Tylenol. And she takes that regularly. And that does help. So yeah, it was one of those freak things that happened. And you never know. So back to you, Jack. KC1-VQS. Hey, I7RMU with the new net here on the PSR. Do you hear Peter in Seattle, Washington? Well, Paulie, you did mention that. Yes, indeed. Yeah, yeah. As soon as you mentioned the dock and the rocks, oh boy. It all came flooding back. Well, you take care of her. And boy, that's really something. She's really lucky that it's not worse. That's for sure. And she's still able to get out on her vacation. Just take it easy. Well, I guess take some books. Take your Kindle. Have your phone nearby. And maybe you can rent a pedal, one of those petticaps. That would be kind of fun. Or something similar to that. And you'd be able to take a run on that somehow. I don't know. Well, anyway, you'll let us know. And that's really great. I'm glad that she's able to still build. All right. Well, Paulie, you have a great afternoon. Thank you for coming by. And all the best to you and your wife, of course. K6PKL. Hey, Bill. What's happening with you? Oh, I'm just sitting here lounging right now. Bubba, I need to get up. I want to mention to you about, or you said 3 million internationally, about having a ham license. And you know, when I listened into the WorldNet on TalkGroup 91 on Saturday, we have Check-In now, which is up over 500. OK, so. And that's from all over the world. And what my register in my AnyTone now has about 220,000 users in there. And that means whenever they transmit, well, it comes up and it gives me information about their location, their name and all that stuff on the screen on the AnyTone. And that will hold 500,000. So I can see that we're seeing this. And as fast as I load in the new database in there, which takes probably about 5, 10 minutes. But anyway, generally, I come on there and within a few days, I see new Check-Ins because it will just show there are no call. You have to register a number. You probably know that in DMR to be able to even access the repeater. It won't even recognize you unless you have an ID number. So anyway, I thought I'd mention that. Yeah, our hobby continues to say really vibrant K6P Hill. Well, it truly is the hobby of the thousand, the hobbies as K7DRQ famously said. That's Quentin, of course. So yeah, it's really just amazing hobby. And it's a great service as well. So many different aspects. And we like them all, even though we haven't tried them. And sometimes we haven't even heard of them. But when we hear something new, you go, wait, what's that? I got to look that up. OK. Anyway, all right, Bill. You have a great afternoon. Thanks for checking in today. Let's see what else is out there. Let's do, let's see what time is it? 1252. I think I'll do last call then for the new net. I'm Jack KI7RM. You're on the PSR gear, two meter repeater here in Seattle, Washington. So command call sign name, last call. WFM. JFM. John. John, I've got you.

Alright, thank you for your I.O. I hope you have a good afternoon. We'll talk to you soon, I hope. Alright, let's get back to John. John, I bet Brooks is either there or has probably just recently left and he was able to get the guitar book from KG7FWB to you. Is that true? How are you doing, John? Go ahead. W7J7. Well, hello, Jack. That is in fact true. I was leaving my house to go to Guitar Lessons and as I was approaching the end of my driveway, Brooks was right there trying to turn it into my driveway. So I backed up and we sat there and talked for a few minutes and I got the book from him and he went on his way and I'm on my way to Guitar Lessons. So it worked out pretty good. So yes, I have the book. I haven't had really much of a chance to look at any of it yet, but I do have the book. So thank you, Bill. And I will take a gander at it later after I'm done with lessons today. So anyway, that's pretty much all I got, Jack. I'm going to try to make it down to Green Lake on Sunday, but we will see how that goes. W7J7. Alright, John. Hey, no problem. And I think, let's see, I have a little boy today. There's so many people at the first one on April 2nd, 2022 at our Golden Jubilee 50th anniversary at BSRG. Were you at the original Ice Cream Social? I don't remember. That's affirmative, I was. Who was it? Me and Lloyd were over there sitting on the grass watching the girls play violin. So yeah, it was a pretty nice one. W7J7. Alright, I thought I had a vague memory about all the people there. There was so many people. I didn't even know how many people were there. But yeah, and I'll have to go review the pictures from that event. What a great time that was. Well, we're really looking forward to a great day. The weather's supposed to be fantastic. There's a lot of updates they've done to Green Lake, still basically the same, but there are some really great improvements they've made. And the whole neighborhood has really been built up. A lot of the favorite places are still there. Although Little Red Hen, the dance club there and bar looks like it might be in some trouble. I think some developers want to move in or something. I don't know what the exact story is, but the neighborhood's pretty upset about it. So I guess hopefully it'll be there still. Anyway, alright John, well you have a great afternoon and enjoy your guitar. Nice to hear you. Alright, let's go to GM0UUB. He is in Scotland. Graham, how are you? Good evening. Well hi there, Jack, everybody else on the night. This is GM0UUB. Graham Healy, Aloua, Central Scotland. And we're absolutely fine over here. The bonkers boy there, Odin, he's a reasonably good day. So I think he's learning some manners, perhaps. Anyway, he was just watching the television there. There's a football game on, of course, football across the United States Soccer. And yeah, I think he likes seeing all the various colors of sharks running around in this wee white ball going back and forth. And there's surround sound on the TV, so he always looks left and right and wonders what's going on. So that's all good fun. We had him at a big toy store today, let him choose a toy. And from now on, that's it, he's now learned. Every time he goes to this toy store, he's going to think it's a toy store. And he gets to choose a new toy. But I try to tell him it won't be every time there, Jack, but I don't know if he heard me or not. Hi, hi. Anyway, apart from that, not really too much to report. We're going to head across to 5th tomorrow and visit Helen's parents. I haven't seen them for a wee while, so we'll take a dog with courses with us. We're actually going to look after it for the next month when we go on a wedding. One of my, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, messages there is getting married, so, uh, looking forward to that. Anyway, Jack, I've talked enough. Thank you, sir. Hope you're well from GM0, UGB. Alright, doing fantastic. We're really looking forward to just a great weekend. We've got a big board meeting going on for the group and we've got the Rainier Shine Net over at the big park here in Seattle, Green Lake. And, uh, boy, it's going to be a lot of fun. Big ice cream social. Well, now you're going to get, uh, Odin inside, get him signed up for the classes, right? So that he behaves himself in the future and doesn't gnaw on your kneecaps. You know, those classes are so popular for dogs and there's some really excellent trainers out there to lead them. Uh, so, uh, what about that? Are you going to get him signed up? I don't know when that starts, you know, for, you know, what age the dog is best at going to those classes. But, uh, if you thought about that yet, I'm sure you have. Yeah, I think as far as puppy classes are concerned, most of the classes around link you to be starting your pup before it reaches 20 weeks. And these 14 weeks, I think just today actually turned 14 weeks. So, um, so yeah, we've had a look, there's quite a few around and as you see there's some very good trainers and we know some from, um, various, uh, charity work we've done for dog and rescue in the past. Um, so, but they're, they're a wee bit of a distance away. There's a local one, I don't know really too much about it. It does seem to be a good reputation. But it's a kind of early Saturday morning start for the puppy class. And by the time I finish my Friday night and eight, I don't think I've all whacked out on a Saturday morning. So it'll be needless crumpy, not Odin. But, anyway, I will definitely get something if you've done the rest for sure. I think he would definitely benefit from that. But, uh, lots of socializing and out there meeting things. We met a few new dogs again today in the shop and a big seen bird. Man will tell you his eyes. Okay, they've got all kind of white then, hi hi. But, uh, I'd like to drive back to you from GM zero, UUB. Oh, I'm sure, sure his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw the St. Bernard. Oh, gosh, that's a big dog. Even the pups are huge. Oh, boy. Anyway, all right, we'll grab you. Have a great day, Seattle. Give us some scritches for us and we'll talk to you later. All right. This is Jack. Yes, I've already looked at this one p.m. Right on the money here. Seattle time. Anybody else for the last call on the new net call?

Maybe that's in the cave. Hello Russell. How are you doing? I hope you're having a good day. What's the matter dude? It sounds like he's in the well. He's trying to get cold. Hurry. Nah, it's just me being silly man. How's everything going with you? I'm fine. I'm just sitting here taking a message to show you what I got today. I can't pay what it didn't do no more. I don't know what's the matter with the machine. It keeps saying my daddy. I don't know if that hard drive did it. I almost screwed up. Or if the machine missed it. I can't pay that. I don't have the show was it? What it does do is that it takes a happy day man. It downloads it in but it's all we have to hold on to what's going on with it. So I can get the mind out of it. Most of the games are in hard business but I'm in business too. I'm not sure man. Are the other games that you're not having any problems with are they on that same hard drive? I got a text message today. He sent me something. There's a white box with a couple of buttons on it that says help on the screen. Well that white box is what I got today. It's a box that puts a button that can say on my neck and call me and have a name. If I fall down. And then all the games I play is on the hard drive. But now either way I don't have no show was a dark game on the hard drive. But now when I break the It keeps coming up. And then I click on that and then it sends them back. The damn year hard drive is in it. It sends my hard drive back. Then I go back in and just open up and send this news in. And it comes up the same vein over and over and over and over and over and over and over. I'm back to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T15:36:23+00:00","id":15065,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15064,"text":" Well, if it's all the rest of your games are on that hard drive too and they're not having any problems, then it tells me that the system and the hard drive are fine. Maybe it's just your game data corrupted, but you said you deleted it and reinstalled it, and it was doing the same thing. Maybe it's just talking about the data from the PlayStation Network, like the online backup, all this. Next time it comes up, can you try and take a clear picture? Try and make sure that your hand is not shaking when you take the picture, because if you do, it'll be blurry, the words on the screen will be blurry, and I won't be able to read them. But if you can get a clear picture of what it says, I might be able to help you, I don't know. But right now, like you said, I don't use the PlayStation, right? I use the Steam Deck. Totally different. But, like you say, if all the games were working on one of my memory cards, and it just one wasn't, then it might be the online data that's corrupted. In which case, I'm not sure how to delete that, but I'm betting there's a way to do it. If I just knew exactly what was going on, I could try to look up a fix for it for you. But without knowing exactly what's going on, it's difficult for me to do that. So, um, but yeah, if you can get a clear picture, it has to be clear, because I won't be able to read the words, it does not. But if you can get one, I'll see if I can figure something out for you. Right now, I can take the picture of it, because it won't even download now. Now, the heart is too distant to the distance. Now, the problem downloads, then it goes halfway, then it quacks, quits. Then I can't put that distance. It ain't so narrow halfway. Now, it comes up half. So, I don't know. So, I can take a picture of it, because I can't download it. I didn't realize you had that game on disk. Try, um, just wiping off the disk to see if there's any scratches or fingerprints on there. So, if there's fingerprints on there, sometimes it won't read the disk. But, um, yeah, that's strange, man. It could be something wrong with the disk itself. But, I don't know. Like you say, I'm not there, man. I wish I was closer. So, I could have a look at that, probably figure it out for you in a matter of minutes, right? What's going on?

My name is Hank, I'm about to engage Sandy, Sean, Shane Brown, and your views, which you can find on almost on the coast of Lake District. Right, over here, over here. This is a direct connect, please address all commies and couriers to this deck control station. Your fare is sponsored by the RV Radio Network, but all amateurs with a technician class license or higher are encouraged to participate. The purpose of this is to provide a form for amateur radio operators who share an interest in recreational vehicles to exchange information and stay attached to the channel and country. The net VH charge will be via APN central time on southeast lane conference node, and that's linked to the N4 MHC multi-mode network. That includes the RBCQQC echo-link repeater in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and several other repeaters in the tri-state area. And we thank the government for doing the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club for supporting our network use of that equipment. For additional information about the RV Radio Network, please visit our secure website at rvradionetwork.com. For more information about the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club, visit their website at triastatesarc.com. I mentioned that the totally have some repeaters connected to the network here. Repeaters have time-out timers on them that we check for three minutes typically. And let's keep our transmission shorter than that. If that timer is tripped, if they disconnect, you can check connections and people have to check reconnect and all that kind of stuff. So we try to avoid that. If you're using the Windows application for echo-link, there's a nice handy timer up under the tool setup and you set a timer so that you can go up and set the transmit timer to something less than 180 seconds. I set mine to 170 seconds, maybe a 10 second margin for error. And it also tells me 10 seconds before that. So I get a D, or alarm, 10 seconds before the timer is gonna time me out. They also get a little pop-up timer if your screen is set wide enough that shows up in the bottom left-hand corner. So that's a convenient way to make sure you don't time the timer out if you're using that home of the Windows echo-link application. Let me reset. That was not actually a traffic step. It don't take so long. They try to handle that if anybody has it. And if anybody has any announcements to make or needs to be short timed, in and out or whatever, then let me know at this time. Please call K4HM."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T18:08:43+00:00","id":15081,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15080,"text":" Nothing hard there. I do of course have our regular club announcements that I'm going to go through at this time. We have several nets that you might be interested in. We have a 40 meter nightly net that's on 30 nights a week coming through Friday at 7pm Central Time. That's on 7264 MHz, 7.264 MHz, whichever way you prefer. And plus or minus 10 kiloheads or so. Up or down for QRM conditions. Sometimes we have to go wider than that so if you don't find it with 10-10 you might have to go up or down a little farther. You can always check online and look at net loader. Just our net locker account will work. And the screen that comes up there will show you the current nets and what frequency they're on. So that's a convenient way to find any of our nets when they're on. We also have a 40 meter net that's on 2 nights a week. That's a Western net. It's scheduled at 8.30pm Pacific Time which makes it 10.30 or 11.30 Central or Eastern Time. So it's late for the Easter years but it's big time for the Westerners and anybody's welcome to check into it if you can reach it. They have a hard time getting to the East Coast and likewise if you're on the East Coast you have a hard time getting to the West Coast. But if you can make it then you're welcome to check in. We have a 20 meter net that's on 2 days a week. I once tracked it before the bet. It's on 11.15 Central Time. 11.15am Central Time. That's on 14.283 plus or minus 15 kilohertz. That's on Tuesday through Thursday at 11.15am Central at 14.283 kilohertz. Megahertz 14.283. Megahertz I should say. That's on 14.92 or 11.00pm. And we have this of course on Thursday nights at 8pm on Central on the Southeast Link. And we have a video net that's on on Tuesday nights at 8pm Central Time. And for that you need a web link and go to our website to get your time on. So try to read them here. You can go to armyreo.com on that website. It's listed right there with the rest of the net right smack it in the middle of the page toward the top. That's the only other thing I've got to announce is that we have a fall rally coming up. The 2025 ROV radio network fall of all rally will be October 12 through 17 in Brawny Lake RV Resort in San Antonio, Texas. That's September 12 through 17. The information is on our website. There's a link right there that you can click to get the complete information and get registered. And we'll reset it again. Alright that's all of our regular announcements. I guess I need to acknowledge the stations that we have so far. On my list I have JOT0, HAA, NOLA, NOLA, and such is working. We're going to ask you to say a few words anyway. KG9NG, Sam is checked in. KF1T, Robert checked in. He's got him out. He's got him out early in the morning for us. He didn't want to stick around for the day. We've got him on the list. I don't see anybody else on hand. I showed up on my list. Do we have anybody else out there that would like to check in at this time?

We do have a selection topic tonight. It's been a while since we talked about this one, I believe. So we'll come back to it once in a while. Talk about radio and RV related forms that you might check in with. That's also specifically talking about forums. If you're familiar with GroupSci-O, as an example, there are a swarm of different forums on GroupSci-O. They've all got different names, of course. You can subscribe to any of those names. There's one for just about every brand of amateur radio. Usually more than one, actually. There's ones for different locations, different clubs. They've got forums out there for them. They took over the other. One of them actually wrote the original Yahoo! software for Yahoo! groups. That had died about ten years ago now, I guess. They've been a little bit longer than that. But he started up GroupSci-O after Yahoo! started having problems. And it's a terrific resource. He found everything in forums for the rest of the world. He also, of course, has these are member owners, I should say. Owners' club forums. They're a good source for information about your particular brand. You have forums for different RV clubs. You've got forums from different manufacturers in a lot of cases. All those kind of forums. IRV2 is another good example of a forum. Most RVers are familiar with IRV2. A lot of the camping organizations have forums. So any of them that you might be checking in with or using, some of them are dedicated for help. Some of them are just searching competition. So let us know. Alright, let's start off. Nolan, good evening to you. Good evening to you, Rivet. Tell us who you are.

It kind of makes me not be able to do much of anything, unfortunately. The poems, I really haven't done too much of those lately, Hank. We have a couple of fairly good radio clubs around here that have pretty good speakers, usually from out of town or whatever, by way of Zoom. And I do follow those fairly often. But that's about it. And I'm also going to have to cut out here about 8.15 or so. So if I don't get back to the seconds, hopefully we'll catch you in the next week or so. This is Sam KG9NG, in Wisconsin. Back to you, Hank. OK, Sam. I didn't think about Zoom as a forum, but that's another good example. A lot of good information you can get from these and whatnot that take place, gatherings, whatever that take place on Zoom. So thanks for that. And I'll watch for you. If you're still around, I'll call on you again. We'll get down there. I do see now that Steven has joined us. So Steven, you're just right on time. You're up. And my 4MP, we're talking about ham radio or RV-related forums that you might belong to, listen to, subscribe to. Over to you, K4HM. Good evening, Hank. K4HM and the NetNY4MC. Ham-related forums. This is repeater station Kilo-Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All-star Note 6222, located at Shelton-Waunton. Franklin County amateur radio plug discord. The ham radio 2.0 discord. And a bunch of others. 3D printing, et cetera. So that, of course, the Zoom's already been mentioned, as well as the I still participate with the R-Pod forum, even though we don't own one anymore. So let's see. That's a pretty good list. So anyways, yeah, it's been raining today. I think it's finally let up.

I belong to CVS and the Raleigh Forum. I'm from Raleigh Club. I have a life member of that club. Of course the L.A. Radio Network. We have our own tech down there as a matter of fact. It's not a forum, but it is online. If you need to do, you can look on there and see what questions have been asked and answered. There's quite a few of them out there over the time we've had that running. So right on our website, you'll see if I'm smacking it into the page just about. So there's some questions and answers on there that you might be interested in. We belong to a lot of different ham radio and RV clubs over the years.

Both I and my machine are having some problems. And I'm not sure that I want to put the amount of money into redoing the campervan that it would take to make it safe to do some long distance traveling. And then I'm having a little bit of trouble with a couple things. I'm actually doing it myself also. So anyway, hopefully maybe I can catch at least one more rally or so. I really enjoyed the rallies. And that's kind of how I got involved in all this to begin with. That's about it here, Hank. Back to you. This is Sam KG9NG in Wisconsin. Okay, Sam. Yeah, rallies are another example. It's not a forum exactly, but it is a group of people with common interests. It's the same thing, of course. It's a rally. You're doing face to face instead of online. You can remember longer than I have, Sam. You're one of the few that's been longer than I have. Most of the guys our age have gone on to other things by now. Some of them voluntarily and some of them not. But it's getting to where I know fewer and fewer of them by name. It used to be that you just got everybody. Anymore now we have enough members that you can't tell everybody. Still a great group. We've come out of a good old time or so. A number of them I should say. They're still around. Just not as accurate as they used to be. All right, Sam. Thanks for being there. And I hope to get to see some more of you sometime down the road.

This repeater is operated by the Puget Sound repeater group and it operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and peel 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 and tell us about yourself, your radio projects or just about anything else as long as it's suitable for a general audience. I'll be compiling with the 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. I'll limit your reports to three minutes so that I can get as many stations in as possible and three minutes is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign so that I know that you're done. Again, this is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. Let's get this net started. Call sign and name, RF and internet. Kilo Alpha 9 Echo Hotel Victor, TA9EHVN. Hi Ann, 33 got you on the list, more stations please. Kilo Juliet 7, Juliet X-Ray Mike, Robert, I will be an I.O. and KJ7RAB Kami I.O. Thank you Rebecca. Have a good night my friend. Thank you too for your I.O.s, I appreciate it. 73 and 88 and all the numbers and 33 Kami. Alright, more stations please. Kilo Alpha 6 Romeo Yankee Charlie, 86 RYC Patrick in Bellevue. The pinks are drawing in closer. KG6 RYC Patrick. Kilo Alpha 6 Romeo Yankee Charlie. There's a whole party of them and I think they're going to kill me now. Okay, whatever it is. Adios, nice knowing you. More stations please. Call sign and name, RF and internet. Kilo 9 ER Mike, Lima, Romeo, Meghan. Hey Meghan, 33 got you on the list, more stations please. K7, KWW James, you're outside Detroit. James outside Detroit. And who was that who James stomped on? K7, beauty's red. Hey Jim and Jane, 33 Jane, got you on the list. I'm going to go ahead and draw a line there and go back to the top to Anne. 33 Anne, please come ahead with your report. Well, good evening Rebecca and to Vanette. This is KA9 EHV. Wow. So, we eat dinner relatively late in the summer and then we say evening prayers after dinner. Which is a nice civilized time to say evening prayers. And I have to admit that I cut the time so close that you started the net about two seconds or maybe even less after I finished the last prayer. So, I haven't done it that well in a long time. It's not a particularly long order that we use but it's a little, you know, it's not casual either. Or detergently formal. Anyway, so that was fun. And let's see, I got my little military costume ready to present boot camp at Worldcon. So boot camp is one of the songs, or the stories in Wings of Joy about the basic training of Star Masters. And, hang on a second. There's basically two things the military has to know about them. Star Masters have to fly to a certain rhythm in order to be healthy. And so of course the first thing that happens to one who's taken prisoner is that they will be deprived of flight typically. That's the more common thing to do. And the Navy wants to know how a Star Master, treated that way, will break. And how long it will take before they will be so wigged out that they will sing a song of every bit of intelligence they have. And so that's the first thing they find out in basic training. And the second thing is that for any Star Master who's being sent into alien service, they memorize a long convention, equivalent to the Geneva Convention actually, about how they're to be treated. And the people in basic training will just ask for bits of this convention and the poor Star Master candidate has to be able to give it back. Or do push ups or some other punitive exercise. I figure that's very, you know, because again they have to know that actually. Going into service with a non-human species who may or may not understand your physiology, they have to know what and how you can ask for it. So that's a cute story and we're going to do that. I have a little costume with two little pins on it and a scarf. It's a very structured jean jacket that's exactly the right color. And a pair of black pants and a black beret. Woo hoo! Military uniform. So that's what I did today. Getting ready for Worldcon that starts next Wednesday. Anyway, that's about all I have and aren't you glad it's finally over? This is 73-33-88. All the numbers to all my people. Thanks Rebecca for doing the net and thanks to all of you for listening. This is KA9-PHD. Back to net. Well Anne, 33, and thank you so much for your report. I am glad that you're going to be able to go to this conference. I know that you were worried that you wouldn't be able to. But yeah, that's great. You know, you are a woman of many, many interests and many, many talents. Yes, you'll have fun. I'm excited to hear further reports about this WorldConference and also whatever else you have to share. I always love your reports Anne. 33, 88, all the numbers. Have a wonderful, wonderful evening and I'm glad you could make it to the net. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. And next on the list is going to be Jack. So Jack is our net control manager and over to you Jack, KI7RMU, KK7IJZ. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November Quebec November. All star node 6222.

Oh hi Rebecca, thank you so much for doing the net. We're monitoring the situation with one of the stations that just checked in recently, so I just want to let everybody know we're on the lookout for updates on that. And so just everybody stand by if you can. Alright, okay, thank you so much and we wish for a positive outcome. KI7RMU, back to you Rebecca. Thank you so much for that Jack. I appreciate you and I, yes, I appreciate your kindness and empathy and the amount of care and thoughtfulness that you put into our club and our super fun social nets. So thank you so much Jack73. Alright, we had an I.O. from Robert, KJ7JXM and we also had an I.O. from Cammie, KJ7RAB. And, whoops, I just kicked Andy, oh my poor little dog. Next on the list is Megan, K9MLR. Hey Megan, please come ahead with your report. Good evening Rebecca and everyone out there on the net. K9MLR, Megan here at home in Newcastle. I am currently working on the Rain or Shine ice cream social tickets. So that's kind of funny. Printed them all out in color on cardstock and now I'm cutting them down because I printed two per page and they don't need to be that big. I am currently working on that. It has been a busy evening. Brooks, K9VDC is at the Seahawks game. So I am at home with the station managers and Rebecca, I made dinner, cleaned up dinner, I painted the trim in his office because the popcorn ceiling is coming down this weekend and it is getting a beautiful fresh coat of paint. And let me tell you Rebecca, even painting the trim, the walls don't look white anymore. So it was kind of funny. I was like, oh, those walls now look yellow. So that's what I have been up to trying to get caught up so many little things going on that if I don't stay ahead I get behind and I can't get behind right before the school year starts. So that's what I'm up to. Thank you for doing the net 33 to you, Rebecca, Kami and all the other YOs out there, K9MLR. Well, thank you so much for that report, Megan. That's fun. Painting, painting, painting. There's nothing like a fresh coat of paint. Honestly, chef's kiss. I'm a big fan of color. I love color. I love color and I love flavor. And I have to explain those. Just imagine that I'm texting an old cat. I love color and I love flavor. Yeah, but have fun. It's going to be fun. Yeah. We'll have a fun night in. You girls have a fun night in. I hope you do a lot of, I don't know, dog stuff and people stuff and yeah, sign the tickets. Thank you so much, Megan, for everything you do and you are awesome. 33 and all the YOs out there, Kami. Awesome. 33 and all the numbers. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. And next on the list is Jim and Jay at Deer Lake. K7PDZ, KK7IJZ. Well, good evening there, Rebecca and everybody out there tonight. Yeah. What am I doing here? Oh yeah, that's what I'm trying to do is get up the Vodascope and I don't know where it is. There it is. Anyway, yeah, tonight, you know, I've talked about our C cycle in the past. This pedal thing that we have that uses real propellers and chain drive and everything. And we finally got nav lights on it. And so tonight we took it out after sunset. And so we had a lot of fun. There was one other fishing boat on the lake. It's cold over here tonight. It's only 61 degrees. But it's a bit windy, but it's calmed down tonight and we had the whole lake to ourselves. But anyway, it was fun being out there after dark with real, honest to goodness, nav lights on the C cycle. So there were so many, so many iterations of how are we going to put lights on this thing. Because it's plastic, you know, we can't drill holes through it. You can't glue something to it. Suction cups don't work. And so anyway, finally everything came together and we bought the lights and it's up and running. And so tonight was our major voyage, so to speak, after sunset. And we had a good time. So anyway, whatever the thing they're talking about with Jack, I tuned in a little bit late after the net got started. So I don't know what that's about, but I'm going to certainly listen out the rest of it and see what that's about. So anyway, back to you, Rebecca. Rebecca, 737, everybody, and have a great weekend. This is Jim and Kay in a tier-light K7. Well, Jim, thank you so much for your report. And yeah, it was fun. Yeah, I have heard about your C cycle, but yeah, that's fun. That's fun. You two have fun. I love it. I love it so much. 33 Jane, and thank you so much, Jim, for checking in and have fun. Have fun out there on Dan Lake. Woo hoo. All right, next and last on this list is James just outside of Detroit. And the last part of your call sign is WW. I always forget to write down the whole thing even though I know it's like W4WW. That's not what it is. But James, please come ahead with your report. Net control, W8WW. Good evening, Rebecca and everyone on the net. I just got home. I'm playing 16 hours on P25. Got another 16 planned for tomorrow. Don't know if I mentioned this before. I have an ICOM ID5100. And I found out that RT Systems now allows you to light your settings to the SD card rather than having a programming cable. And I've been setting everything up with that, which is a hell of a lot easier than using the ICOM software. I mean, I spent the meager funds to purchase the software. And in, I'd say, 30 minutes, it was able to give me everything I need. That was taking me over two hours struggling with the ICOM software. But, yeah, I had some discussions with various parties about my uncle's estate today. So, looks like I'm going to try to sell the two ICOM 706s. I have one's a Mark IIG and the other's, I believe, just a Mark II on that. So I've got to get those listed for sale. I think one of them is going to have the ICOM antenna tuner for screwdriver antennas. I don't think it's made by ICOM. But that and the other, I probably might package the head separation kit and go from there. But I need to get things going on that. But nothing else here. Oh, yeah. I had an incident on a ladder over the past month, twice. Turns out I have an occult fracture in my fibia, which I guess is the same thing as called an airline fracture. But they call it the occult because it's usually not visible on the x-ray, but the MRI picked it out. So with that, we'll send it back to you, Rebecca. W8WU here outside Detroit. Be sure to gloss over that last part, James. So is it so that you injured yourself on the first fall and then the second fall was just like icing on the cake? Also, why are you falling? What's going on? What's going on with you, James? Why are you falling off the ladders? Back to you. Okay, Rebecca, I have to wait there. I guess somebody had an open carrier for a moment. So the reason why I was up on the ladder twice, one was braced to the side of the house as I was trying to adjust the mounting. I was able to eventually get my dual-band base station antenna up about 20 to 25 feet above the roof line and finally got that taken care of. But the first time, the hinges on this new ladder for some reason didn't lock in, so the ladder collapsed inward. So the top of the ladder went away from the house and so I fell backwards. The second time, I was on the side of the house coming down from the roof and it collapsed lower where it was just clinging to the gutter. When that happened, one of my legs fell through in between the rungs, so I was rather calm on everything. I was working myself because I have a trailer behind me. I was trying to see if I could get my leg out and then jump back onto the roof of the trailer. But that didn't come to being because the ladder eventually slipped. I was hanging on the end of the gutters there. Luckily, somebody attached them to the side of the house with some pretty strong nails because this was near the furthest edge of the house. But the thing is that it folded over into an A-shape below me and I had the current Mrs. Keller where the ladder below me was able to drop down to the bottom of the ladder. So at one point or the other, it happened. Also, it tore the hell out of my left shoulder. I think that probably was from the hanging part. But I visited the orthopedic surgeon on Monday to see what he recommends. The pain and walking, that's totally disappeared, but this shoulder really makes you reminded me of the pain. Back to neck control, W8WW here outside Detroit. James, oh my gosh. Well, you know, I would talk to you about ladder safety, but why bother? We all passed our technician exams and became amateur radio operators. There's a whole section on ladder safety, so that's all I'm going to say. But anyway, James, thank you so much for your report. I love your P25 reports. I feel like one of our regular operators, Andrew, KF7LMX, this is P25 a lot as well. I have to give that, that has more to do with trains, I think. But I love hearing your P25 reports. That's great, James. It's good to hear from you. I hope that someone goes to your house and takes all your letters and throws them in a dumpster that you'll never find. But only, yes, I guess we can't all have what we wish for. 7-3, James. Stay off the ladders. Alright, this is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. You're listening to the 9 p.m. PSRG social net. Let's start another round. Call sign and name, RF and internet. KF7, OK. Doug. What's up, Doug? KF7, OK. Got you on the list. More stations, please. Alpha, Bravo 6. Mike, Bravo. Jeff. Hey, Jeff. Got you on the list. More stations, please. KK7WID, Allen in Bremerton. Hey, Allen. Did you want to, did you need to go ahead and go or do you want to stay in queue? I can stay in queue. Cool. More stations, please. KG7ODB. Hey, Steve. Got you on the list. More stations, please. Keto, Bravo 5. Tango, Whiskey Golf. Tony with an I-hope. Thank you for your I-O. Got you on the list. I-073. Have a great Friday. Thursday night, Friday. I don't know whether it's... Anyway, Jeff. Thank you for your I-073. I'm going to go ahead and draw a line there and go back to Doug. KF7OK, what's going on, Doug? Hey, how you doing? KF7OK. Doug is home in near Linwood. So I'm on grid. I actually have hot and cold running water and electricity. And so thank you for hosting the net and everything and I enjoy listening to everybody. I actually listen a whole lot more than I check in, so, you know, I'm just going to check in more. Life's been good. I'm still chopping some wood that I brought back from my off-grid property and stacking it. I'm kind of slow put together. I'm usually a bit more active when I'm out there, but, you know, slow put together. And yesterday I took today off from it, but I've been logging my workouts for the last seven years. I decided one day I rolled out of bed, I felt like crap. And I thought that, you know what, I'm going to start working out again like I did in my 20s and 30s. And I, without any breaks or anything, I've not taken any breaks in the last seven years, I completed workout number 2,700 and I'm up to, you know, 2,701. So I thought I feel really good. I can make a long list of everything that it fixed in me. No meds, no nothing, perfectly healthy. I'm as strong as I was 30 years ago, literally, and everybody should do it. Other than that, enjoy some ham radio and a little bit of time and I look forward to working in my yard tomorrow. So back to you, KF7OK. Well done. Thank you so much for that report. And yes, 2,701. That's great. Just chopping. What? Just getting slow. You know what? That's fine. Why do you need to go fast? Just go slow. Chop wood slow. Deliver it. Like meditation. You know, just stacking, working in the garden and just being strong. Well, welcome back to Linwood, Doug. And yes, I hope that you get to go back to your off-grid paradise sometime soon. Back to no running water and yes, back to peace and quiet. Back to not Linwood. But anyway, Doug, thank you so much for your report. 73 and I'm looking forward to hearing about workout number 2,702 tomorrow. Next on the list is Jeff in Onion City. How's it going, Jeff? Alpha Bravo Six Mike Bravo, KK7IJZ. Thank you, Rebecca. Thank you for doing the net. Excuse me. Yeah, today, I see a pretty just not a really busy day. Just kind of kick back. And, you know, well, the squirrels were around, you know, so it's fun watching them eating and eating the nuts and the peanuts. And Rocky came by later on and looked in the window at me and, you know, got him some nuts. And, you know, just pretty nice to see them chase each other. They can really move. And I kind of watched the tour de France, the men and women's version of it. And, you know, the women have a different flair on the way they do it. And it's just kind of cool. It's just the difference, I think, intensity. But they definitely are intense, but it just seems like they're, I don't know, it just has, they have a different feel for it. And they're darn good. So anyway, I hit the temperature today, hit around 80 today. And the warmest was better in a few days. And I'm hoping that I'll see tomorrow, supposed to be 84 and 85 the next day than 81. And it's going down into the 70s after that. And I have this quake detector up that I use on my phone that I have over here. And I can glance at it and see what earthquakes have been hitting. They have different alarms set to make noise, but it's called California Seismologist. And it's kind of neat to have there just to see what's going on around the world, earthquake-wise. And then I went over some history today and enjoying that quite a bit because I really enjoy history. I actually watched this program, I haven't finished it. Leonardo da Vinci designed a chateau for this one French king. And just the way he did it was just amazing. And he put all the plans down and then he died before they could start. But they went ahead anyway. And I guess it was pretty amazing just the detail and what he's done. Leonardo da Vinci was simply an amazing man. And I got my weather stations going here. I have a couple of them up. One is from the patio, gives you the temperature and very magnetic pressure. And then the other one does the forecast and wind speed and all that. It's kind of neat to have them both up and I kind of keep an eye on the weather out there that way. And for tonight I had dinner of buttered chicken with brown rice. I got this frozen buttered chicken meal. And I have these bags of brown rice that you can heat up. You know, it's quick to make and I just take the buttered chicken and I pour it over the top of the brown rice. And it's really good. It's just a good tasty meal. I can make two meals out of it which is pretty nice. Anyway, that was my day today. So let me turn it back to the net. AB6MB. KG6RYC. I don't know how much time I have left but one last message out. It seems I'm like a hockey puck or something. Being used in a game, I don't know what the game is called, I don't know, baseball or something, by the Billionaire Boys Club. And these are all kinds of degenerates and stuff like Rauhoti Rahim and Larry Page and all kinds of dumbasses. And now I have a whole, I've been having to deal with two police car chases a day. And now they're shining their lights on me where my thingy shack is. It's unlikely that I'll get out of this alive but yeah, good. KG6RYC. Sorry, you get on with your lives. I'll just die quietly. Back to the net. Well Jeff, thank you so much for your report. I appreciate it. Thank you for the squirrel report. Jack, that was KG6RYC. Patrick. I, yeah, butter chicken. Tonight I made this really great stir fried veggies and then I made some white beans. And then what I do is I'll make a big pot of brown rice and then just like givvy it up and freeze it. So I can take out a portion for whatever meal I need. I guess I think that I'm the only one now who eats rice in the house. Everyone else is on a diet. Well thank you so much Jeff. And did you want to promote your antenna net that's happening tomorrow? Back to you Jeff. Alpha Bravo 6, Mike Bravo, KK7IJZ. KG6RYC, Patrick. I've been told one of the participants is Dubai Chocolate. I went to a neighbouring 7-Eleven near my home, one-five-eight-six-one, north of 8th. And there's one of the certain place jobs. And he's saying in front of him was Dubai Chocolate. I've never seen that brand before. You're the motherfucker. So the light is now shining on me. Bravo. Bye. KG6RYC. Have a nice life. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November. Okay. Yeah the antenna net is every Friday night at 7pm. And we have a special time for new hams on there. And if you want to know how to get there, go to my QRZ page and it will tell you to scroll down and then you'll be able to come in via different modes. So back to you there Rebecca, AB6MB. Well thank you so much for that, Beth. And yeah, it's such a great net too. So Jeff is super active on the Papa system in Southern California. And so his antenna net is in the Papa system. So check it out even if you just listen or it's for all sorts of ham radio operators. It's seasoned operators and new hams. And yeah it's a great technical net that happens every Friday 7 o'clock Pacific time. And you can find a link to the net on Jeff's website. I'm not website. QRZ page. QRZ page Alpha Bravo 6 Mike Bravo. Well thanks for coming back with that Jeff. I appreciate it. 7 3 and thank you for the scroll report. Alright next on the list is Alan in Bremerton. KK7WID. Please come ahead with your report. This is Alan in KK7WID. I've been awfully busy all summer. I'm a teacher normally so I'm a summer. I should have lots of free time but I'm busy all summer doing a remodel in the bathroom which is finally done. So I am now able to actually enjoy having a great summer. KF7OK or what's KF6OK? I mentioned working out again and it's been nice now that I'm done with that to actually get back to the gym and sweat and work out. I forgot how much I enjoy the feeling of finishing a workout. Sometimes doing the workout itself is a little unpleasant. But the feeling you get when the workout is done is really really nice. They're not lying when they talk about a runner's high. And I'm looking forward now to enjoying the rest of my summer vacation. Now that that project is done I'm able to do some working out. I helped my daughter move into their college apartment and I hope to have a little bit of time off here before I've got to get back to the grind of teaching students how to make music when school starts. Back to that KK7WID. Well Alan thank you so much for your report. Are you reading any last minute books before you start back to teaching? Back to you Alan. Just every night the tradition that my wife and I have is every night when we go to bed I read her a couple chapters of whatever book we're on. So it's always just fiction. The current one is the first novel in the Lady of Devices series. But it's just fun fiction just to have someone to read to put us all to bed to. I don't have any professional reading this summer. Just taking it easy. Back to that KK7WID. Yep that's what I was fishing for. Well that's great. I love that. Yeah well that's great. Well congratulations on getting the bathroom done. How fun. It's like you don't even realize how much time you spend in the bathroom until you realize how much time you spend in your bathroom. Right? But yeah and daughter off to college. All of these things. Yes. Well yeah well thank you so much for checking in Alan. I appreciate it. And also keep us in the know of all of your upcoming gig dates too. I know that sometimes you do. Yeah I know that sometimes you do gigs on your own. So yeah let us know. And it's great to hear from you Alan. Have a wonderful rest of your summer. And enjoy working out and sweating. You and Doug KF7 OK. Maybe y'all can go and chop wood together and just get. Chop wood and just big arms. Anyway. 7-3 Alan. You'll have a good night and clear the stage to your wife. Alright next on the list is Dean. KG7ODB33. I'm 33 not 33. 88. All the hugs to Dean. Dean. Please come ahead with your report. Good evening Rebecca and everybody on the net. This is Dean KG7ODB. Near Bitter Lake in North Seattle. So I think over the weekend when you me and Matt went to have ice cream. I think that was I think that was something you set up with Jack to get ice cream on everybody's mind. Because you probably heard on a couple of the other nets. That was kind of the subject like people would bring up ice cream. Specifically our little get together and I think it got people hungry for ice cream. And that's going to drive up attendance to the ice cream social this weekend on Sunday. Anyway. So I'm just sitting here I'm watching the Seahawks game. Again I heard Brooks is there. I guess he's pretty lucky to be there. It's a nice night to be down at the stadium. But it's pre-season. It's one of these games that doesn't matter. It's just an exhibition game. But it's the first one of the year. And there are a whole bunch of new players that we've never seen before. So it gives us a chance to see them. So we're getting you know we're in the fourth quarter now. It started late. It started at seven. Seahawks are winning 23 to 13. I almost said Oakland Raiders but it's the Las Vegas Raiders. And it's interesting because the Raiders their coach is Pete Carroll who used to be our coach. And their quarterback although their quarterback Geno Smith only played in the first quarter. Yeah he used to be our quarterback. And so some familiar faces is kind of a homecoming for those people. But I think one of the stars of the show not the game is Marshawn Lynch because he's been roaming around the sidelines with a camera with a big telephone. And he was up in the booth a little while ago. So anyway it's fun to have football back. So anyway this is Dean KG 7 ODB back to that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-07T22:00:50+00:00","id":15108,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15107,"text":" I feel like on that note I should see if Elaine is out there.

Well the Dean and the Elaine football conversation has begun. Not with Elaine yet, but just you wait and see. Well Dean, I mean, I am always thinking about ice cream. There's never a second in any day that I'm not thinking about ice cream. I'm always thinking about ice cream. I like plain and simple ice cream. I don't want a bunch of stuff in it.

But, I guess they have the latest of the latest military technology, which might be like 30 years ago. And that you have to like shine a light and then, what does the crap happen? And then they figure out where you are. But no, I don't think they can. They're a little confused, but there's a whole bunch of them outside. I use them for target practice, but, okay KJ6RYC, I don't know if I don't survive this. That's what my tongue is telling me, but no. I mean, it was good to be pushing down the grass from above, but maybe it's time to transition. KJ6RYC, here and out. I can't sleep tonight, so I'll be positive. KJ6RYC.

Well hello Rebecca and I'm ready for this John 77JSM. Yes, it was a guitar lesson today. I had a pretty good lesson today. We recapped on stuff that I was supposed to be working on all week from last week and he was happy with my progress on it. Where I was at with it, we added a couple more things for me to practice. A continuation of a song I've been learning, but I've just learned the first part of it. Now I'm going on to the second part. The Eagles take it easy. Trying to figure it out, but it should be fun. Anyway, I'm going to try to make it down to Green Lake on Sunday. I'm not positive, but I'm going to try to. Hopefully I'll see everybody down there. W7JSM. Oh that'll be fun. I hope you do make it John. Yeah, that'll be fun if you get to make it. That's great. Working on songs. Leo is really into, he's gone through phases with this, but he's really into sea shanties right now. Again, so it's been a few months, but he's back on them. So we've been listening. We've been exploring a lot of different types of sea shanties and it just makes me think of like playing the guitar. Anyway, playing the guitar and singing sea shanties. They're so fun. They're so like dark and dramatic and beautiful. Sometimes they really are beautiful. Anyway, keep on playing. I love it. Work, work, work. That's amazing. I love it. I love your guitar journey John and I hope that you get to eat ice cream on Sunday regardless. Always get ice cream. Yeah. 10 Skritches to spin and 33 to T-naught.

Nice to hear you're not Rebecca. I'm just kind of like relaxing this evening, taking it kind of easy. And um, yeah I got back earlier this week from a trip to New York where I stayed with some friends and ate some good food and I got to see one of my favorite new musical artists named Jacob Collier. He's from the UK and he's got, like he kind of made a name for himself on YouTube like making, like YouTube, like he would perform like little musical things on YouTube. And the guy is just so cool. He plays tons of different instruments and composes his own music of course. And he's kind of, like his style is kind of like rooted in like jazz and funk but he plays all kinds of stuff. So anyway, it was really cool to see him in person. He performed on the Central Park, like the Central Park stage. I forget exactly what they call it but anyway, it's like a small venue in Central Park and it was just so cool, like we lucked out with great weather, you know. And anyways, it's just such a cool venue to see like a person that I really am enjoying listening to right now. Yeah, so now I'm back and just working, you know, back to everyday life. And I am going to go to the Ice Cream Social which I am super excited about and of course I'll be attending the board meeting as well and I think that's going to be my update for this evening. Thanks for hosting Rebecca and a radio wave too. My friends out there and that's about it. KJ7 and UW, back to net. I love New York City. What a nice time of year that you get to go to. It's probably all warm and beautiful. Yeah, it's great. I'm glad that you got a getaway and got to see some music. Got to go out to the park. That's awesome. I'm glad that you take those trips. I love you. Work hard, play hard. 33, Madeline, 88, all the numbers. Thank you so much for checking in. Yeah, and have fun at the board meeting. Alright, this is Rebecca KK7 IJZ. Next on the list is Justin. KK7, QES, what's going on Justin? Well hey Rebecca, this is Justin KK7 QES. 73, hope that you are well. I'm having a very quiet week compared at least to the last few weeks. Me and my family are very much enjoying that. My wife and I like to say sometimes that we just need time to putter around the house. Which I think basically means working on various small projects of relatively little importance. Some that just need done, some that make us happy. But no time pressure to do any of it. So that's what we've been kind of doing this week. It's been nice. So tonight I worked in the garden for a bit. That was cool. My bush beans, which I got so many green beans from my bush beans this year. I had never grown them before. And they were so delicious and it's like one of my girls favorite foods. So they were happy. But they are just starting to tire out. But my pole beans are just starting to come in. So kind of perfect timing. I would say I planned it that way but it's just kind of luck. Anyway, what else? I've had a weather station just mounted on a fence post in my yard for a couple of years. And I've been meaning to put that on a mast on my shed. So I finally did that tonight. And I wanted to get that done because I'm planning to put a solar mesh-tastic node on that same mast. I guess that kicks me into gear to get that one thing done. And then I've been listening to the net and while I'm doing that I've been putting together a new set of radial wires for this portable vertical antenna that I bring with us when we go camping and stuff like that. The radial system that came with it was kind of weird. It was made from a ribbon cable, like a computer ribbon cable. Like the ones that ID drives would be connected to and things like that. Used for all sorts of things really. But it's this giant ribbon of super tiny wires and you had to separate them individually. Each individual strand and then they would break and tangle and just turn into a rat's nest. It was kind of an interesting concept. It didn't work very well in practice. So I'm making a set that will stand up to my clumsy antenna deployment. Anyway, that's what I've got going on here. I hope you're well. I hope everyone is doing great out there. KK7, QES, back to net. Well that sounds great. Well I mean you didn't plan it this year but next year you will plan it. Now that you know about the beans. Beans, beans, beans. It reminds me of this poem I once heard. It goes like this. Beans, beans, they're good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you... Um... Ah! I forget the rest. Darn! Ah, oh well. Maybe someone will remind me. But yeah. Well, thank you so much for your report Justin. I'm glad that you and your wife are taking time to put her around the house. And yeah, House's Never Ending Project. Houses, people, kids, gardens, all of the things. The Never Ending Project. And good luck with the mast. Have a great weekend Justin. Thank you so much for checking in and giving me your report. Last on this list we had an I.O. from Cody, AG7LR. And that was the end of that list. So I am going to... Uh, yeah. Let's make another list. Call, sign, and name, RF and internet. 4, call for a N.E.S. Hey Steven, why don't you go ahead with your report. Back to you. Okay, thank you very much Rebecca. This is 4G1NYS. My name is Steven. I'm here in Patanga City, Philippines. Three minutes after one in the afternoon here local time. Friday afternoon.

Brian, we now have a house bunny. He's so big and cute and fluffy, and I love him so much. And he came with the funniest name in the entire world. He came with the name El Presidente, because his previous owners called him El Presidente de La Casa. K-7-K-Z-H-K-K-7-I-J-Z. Oh my gosh, I definitely need to see some pictures of El Presidente. And I guess that would mean that my rabbit, Tamale, probably speaks the same language as El Presidente. I can't think. My wife's laughing. Anyway, yeah, so I just wanted to say hello. Anyway, yeah, definitely house bunnies are amazing. I'm actually upstairs right now. My bunny's downstairs. But I was just with him. It's a lot of fun, but make sure you bunny proof the heck out of everything. So I should have a lot to say. I just wanted to say hello. I say it's kind of a pretty long work day again, but not as bad as yesterday and stuff, so a little bit of breathing room there. So looking forward to that weekend and getting my new garage space and all that stuff set up. And we'll see about Sunday. But yeah, I think I've got a lot of stuff to do. My mother-in-law will be coming into town and stuff. So we've got some prep work and other stuff to do. So other than that, thanks for doing the net. And yeah, yeah, that's all I got. RIT 7, KZH Beckton. Yes. We are experienced house bunny people. My sister, this will be my sister's third house bunny. Her last house bunny passed away at the regular age of 13. He was so sweet. Oh, little Petri. Yeah, so we know all about bunny proofing. And yes, and we are so excited. We love him so much. He's so sweet. I cannot even tell you. He's so sweet and loving. And he loves being petted. And he'll headbutt you if you're not paying attention to him. Yeah, it's great. We love him so much. And he tried to play with him too. He wasn't having it. He wasn't, he didn't attack or anything. But he just was like, meh, whatever you're doing. Whatever sort of animal you are, I am not interested. I just want to be here in my living space without you. But yeah, he's the best. Yeah, I'll have to send you pictures. And hey, Jennifer. 33. Have fun with your mother-in-law. Have fun in Marysville. Tell to Molly I say hello. And yeah, house bunnies are the best. The best. Well, 73 and 88, Brian, thank you so much for checking in. And y'all have a lovely evening and a great weekend. Yeah, a great weekend. Regardless of what you do, rain or shine or not, get ice cream. Go get ice cream. All right, y'all, that's a net. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. I would like to thank everyone for joining me this evening. It would not have been much of a net without you. And I loved hearing everything that you had to share. I love it. Yes, I love being a net host, just in case y'all didn't know.

This is Rebecca, KK79, JZ. Good night. JZ6RYC. To nobody in particular. But did you say Wiscund? I was, I did a post-doc in the U20 in the Netherlands in the department of Wiscund and Informatica, which I believe means math and computer science. Wiscund Informatica. Informatica. Wiscund. And meanwhile, these people are hanging out here. And they can't even afford a decent siren. They're just making like a cheap budget siren noises. I think they'll go away. So KJ6RYC, back to net. Clear. OK, the net is gone. Clear and monitoring. Thank you, Rebecca. KG7D, K. KG6RYC, did you, I found out much many years after I came back here that U20 was the first one to put up, to install, build, and put online a, online receiver, STR, software-defined receiver.

And it shuts off the modem, then it gives two minutes, then it shuts off my router. And then another minute it turns on my router, and then another minute it turns on my modem. I've done this for like 10 years. I bought this little box. And what happens is that every day, by shutting these things off, it cleans the cache. And since I'm away, I really don't have any problems after I started using this box. It also shows if my alarm system is working on battery, you know, battery power. But, yeah, so that happened to this morning while I was on a QSO, you know. And a friend of mine who was also up on 66 Alpha sent me a WhatsApp that said, you know, this guy that you're looking for is calling you back.

But I had let my blue checkmark expire because you have to pay like monthly for it. So what I ended up doing was I paid to have the blue checkmark back so that I don't get glushed to the bottom. And, you know, even getting pushed to the bottom, I was getting, you know, quite a bit of good feedback. So now my ex-account has just like exploded. I mean, I got like over 230 followers, and I'm getting so many likes, and thousands of people are reading them now. You know, my response for different things. I never got exed before now.

And overnight, because people are home from work, they get on there. And the real topics are addressed, really good topics are addressed, instead of some mundane ones that seem to come around during the day. But I'm really pleased with that.

I never did it before in my life, and I am sore. I'm really sore. I fell. I could only do it twice, you know? I don't know. You know, kaboom, you're out of shape.

Anybody else that wants to break in is welcome to. This isn't a net. It's just a conversation I've been having with Dan in the morning, the last couple of mornings. Feel free to add anything with any comments or questions. I wanted to mention something about risk. You know, that you mentioned that, well, Donald Trump takes risks. And coming from someone who's an expert on risks, you know, we take risks every day. You know, you get in your car, you drive somewhere, you know that you might get to an accident, but yet you still do. And the reason why you do that is because you consider that an acceptable risk. And it's like that with everything I've ever done. I mean, I've had in different courses I took, you know, how risk management is supposed to handle risk. And I've had it in more than one place. And I've had it in my experience, you know, consistently. I deal with risk. And you take acceptable risks. And just like you would get in your car and drive somewhere. Because as I explained, you know, think that you're going to get into an accident. Because, you know, it's unlikely enough that you still do it anyway. I'll wait for the next call around for something I wanted to add. That was the carryover from yesterday about, you know, people use risk against Donald. Oh, he's taking risks. Oh my god. That don't sound good. But, you know, people don't understand, you know, risk, really. That hasn't, you know, studied. It is actually a science. So again, back to you. And then when it gets back to me, I want to talk about the ad. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November. All star node 6222. I'm going to leave a pause, at least a five second pause, which I haven't done. And I'm terrible at not doing it in case someone else wants to come in. So about risk, you know, I set out to Colombia about 30 years ago. And I know a lot about risk. And maybe not formally, but you know, when you have your own business or businesses, you learn about risk. And it's exactly what you say. There's a lot of risk. I was with my little son. I said to him, Alex, a good field is being an actuarial, you know. And look into it, you know. Large statistics, you know. And get on with it. But the sort of risk stuff that I do is not formal. And you're right. Everything is a risk. So some people, and my friends tell me this about me, that I have a high propensity for risk. And I have a steel stomach. And so does my wife, you know. So I understand that you're an investor in stocks primarily. And you know, sometimes you really have to have a strong stomach for that. And we have some other investments. But yeah, but I certainly understand risk. I just wanted to ask you something. I got on my Twitter account. And I want to follow you. How are you on, you know, what's your name on a Twitter account?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T02:37:59+00:00","id":15126,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15125,"text":" I'm Ron Douglas at DiverOn.

And you'll be able to find it easy that way at DiverOn. Managing risk, like I said, it is a science if you want to increase risk. The opposite of taking acceptable risks is taking unacceptable risks. You know, I don't see anybody taking any unacceptable risks. Right now I see a good administration. I'm really familiar with all of the people Trump chose to surround him because they were very popular people.

These are all popular people that really aligned with the Make America First and are all extremely qualified and are proving it. No acceptable risks for me. In fact, I've gotten more conservative now and I'll tend to sell too soon. Well, that's enough for me. I'm not into, you know, bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered. And I didn't get to bring that other thing out yet that I wanted to. I'll wait."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T02:43:02+00:00","id":15127,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15126,"text":" Yeah, that's from Kramer.

But the problem is that I usually sell. I mean, I have my objective as far as profit, and I'm happy with that objective, so I'm not a pig about it. And that's what I do. But in retrospect, I'm selling too early. But I buy well, like average buying. I do pretty well on the buying part. I don't do pretty that well on the selling. But I'm on your X account now. And yeah, and certainly continue. Yeah, Kramer does say that. I got that saying actually from training I got from a Wharton School of Business graduate who took on a few investors to teach him years ago. And I got that from him. But the exact origins of that goes back. It's a saying that was used on Wall Street. So you may be familiar with it from Jim Kramer. The thing I wanted to bring out about what's occurring right now. Traditionally, summers are not very good for the market as far as performance goes. And it looks like that now. People go on vacation, and they are assistance takeover with the big institutional traders that really move the market. And a confirmation of that I'm seeing, because stocks like Booking Holdings and Expedia are going up because they're being used right now for the people that are taking the last part of the summer now to enjoy before they get back. The kids have to go back to school and stuff. But yeah, it's holding up pretty good. And if this is the start of a bull market, which is looking like the futures are up this morning for a positive open right now, you won't hear about it. When you'll hear about it or people that are actively participating hear about it will be when it's almost over. So I just wanted to bring that out to make people aware, because the only people that they'll hear that from is from somebody like me if they are lucky enough to know them. So you might want to look at that so you don't miss a really good one that looks like it's brewing here."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T02:45:25+00:00","id":15128,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15127,"text":" advice. You know, getting back to risk, I often feel is the biggest risk in life. And I can tell you, in my life, has been seeing how people don't take risks. You understand? So when the market's about to go down, people sell like crazy. And that's when I, you know, I've been pretty fortunate, that's when I buy, you know? And so they don't want to even take a minimal risk. And I always tell my kids, and my wife and I tell them as well, she's a finance person, that says, you know, the biggest risk is not taking risk. And that's the issue with, if you can say the middle class, right? And they don't take risks. It's an amazing thing. I was just having a conversation, this is, I just have another slide, this one guy, US Air Force guy, I don't know if he was a major, but he worked on B-1 bombers, you know? And he's retired now. And so we were talking about, this is a guy that's what I got this morning, I was talking about a modem. And I said, well, you know, I was surprised that a guy like him, he's a technical guy, like a mechanic for those planes, he was talking about his modem, I say, are you renting that modem? And he said, yes, I'm paying like, whatever, 20 bucks a month, $19 a month, I said, you know, you can buy a modem. And, you know, save yourself that money. And he was just giving reasons why the possibility that it may not work, you know? And this is like a tech guy, he was in the US Air Force. And I don't really see it with him, I see it with my neighbours as well, you know? Well, what if it doesn't work? What if my telephone doesn't work? What if my 100 minutes going up and down don't work? And so it just sparked in my mind the idea of individuals who just don't like to take risks, but you don't take risks, and you're going to, you know, your life, or you know, whatever, the market's going to smack you in the head, you know? But I also think that taking risk is less of a risk than not taking risks. Back to you as long as it's measured.

This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November, all star node 6222. Located in Shelton- Yeah, according to the ECC rules and regulations, I'm allowed to handle up to four portfolios before I need the series 65 license. And the reason that it's set up that way is because say I wanted to pursue that. Now, if I had a brother-in-law, my wife, a son, you know, I could handle, you know, portfolios like that, people close to me to see if that was what I wanted to pursue. So if I wanted to handle, make that a profession, I would need the series 65 investment representatives license. Or the exact name of it right now, I had it in my head. But I have the book here for that. And I didn't decide that because I only just handled my own portfolio. If somebody came along, you know, that was close to me, if I got remarried again, you know, I could handle Rose and I would still be within the, you know, the same person that I was. And I would still be within the rules and regulations. One of the hedge fund managers I follow every day, he's also a Fox News contributor, he just had to upgrade his license because he reached a certain plateau, a hundred million dollars in managed assets, which is quite a bit. So he had to go and make peace with the SEC on that so that he could continue. Of course, he had grown past that plateau. So I'll tell you where, the reason why I brought out what my limitations are and I wanna put emphasis on, you know, what I'm not limited in doing.

You're not executing, you're giving advice on what you think they should do. And they're doing the executing. There's nothing illegal about that, correct? It's only when you're doing the executing of those sales and purchases, where you have an issue. I mean, you can give all the advice that you want, and it's not an issue, I think, but like I said, I'm not a professional at this at all. But I would think if each person has their own, you know, like I said, their own portfolio, they do the execution, you give them advice. There's no, um, you don't need a license for that, right, Ryan? Hello. I'm careful, right? You know, I mentioned what it is, you know, not that I'm saying I did this, but say I got on here and say I'm buying Microsoft this morning and somebody hears me, they could come back and try to hold me liable for money they lost to Microsoft. When I bought Microsoft, I also bought talent here, Nvidia. What were some of the other things I had? You know, these are stocks I already sold. Netflix, you know, so well, Microsoft did go down, but the other ones went up. I made it money he lost because I said I bought Microsoft. So you'll never hear me say before I bought something. I may say that I sold something. If you ever think I bought something and you buy it to anybody, you might lose money. You'll probably lose money. Yeah, I could be held liable just for, you know, why I'm careful so I wouldn't be, you know, I could cause harm to someone or be perceived enough that I would have to maybe even compensate them for the loss or have some kind of settlement. Would you take, what would you take in a settlement? I could send you my old bofangs. Yes, I'm looking it up here on the internet. So in general, it says, I'm just reading education. So I said you may give general stock advice, like through blogs, YouTube newsletters or social media without registering as a financial advisor. It's general, educational and opinion based. You're not managing, managing is the key word I think, anyone's money. You're not giving personalized investment recommendations. You're not being paid directly for individual advice. So then they give you examples of when it becomes a legal issue, you give specific investment recommendations to individuals based on their financial situation, even casually. But it's specific to their, right? You charge money for personalized advice. I mentioned that earlier, you're charging the professional, right? And you present yourself as a financial advisor or planner. Well, it seems like, you know, I don't think you're a financial advisor or planner. You don't present yourself as that. And you create an impression that you're licensed to give financial guidance and you don't do that. So there's a potential liability that goes through that. I don't think you fit into these categories. And secondly, if you were moving markets, you know, sell Microsoft because you have some inside information and people just sell, you know, and Microsoft goes down or, you know, if you're manipulating the market, whether professional or not, maybe you have an issue, but I don't think we're at that level, you know? But so in my amateur way of looking at it, this is, this is, I mean, this is how I see it as well, you know, back to you. Yeah, you get right on it. That's why it's good, you know, to have that investment advisor representative series 65 because that covers a lot. It isn't something you're supposed to use to show qualifications. It's a, it's a requirement. It's only a requirement. If I wanted to manage more than four portfolios, you know, with people outside, you know, say a family and that I've, I got so many other licenses for different things. You know, when I opened that book and looked at it, I kept saying, oh, you know, I used those other licenses. This I'm not going to need because I'm just doing this. Myself and like somebody who would have to be a very special circumstance. So that's not, I'm not going to put the time in to get that. You have to go to Sylvan and take the test. There's quite a bit of a refresher of it I'd have to do to catch the test. And it's like some of these other hard tests that you go and you pay for and then end up having to take it again because you missed it by a few questions. Because it's not an easy test. It's an extremely hard test. It's one of those tests where is it a, b, c or d or is it one of the, like g might say, well, is it a and c and c is it b and d, b and e. Yeah, it goes a, b, c, d, e on that test. It's pretty complicated. So yeah, but still, you know, people can get upset on anything. And I've watched people get in trouble with other, because, you know, they wanted to help them. And I've seen that more than once. So I'm a little weary of that.

In a way, it's a little annoying. My spam box, rest in peace. I mean, every time I go in there to make sure something goes in there that I wanted to read, it's like what I would normally receive in my regular mailbox in a month, again, one day. So I'm constantly going through that. And if there isn't anything in there, I just hit delete for spam. If you're good enough to make money, why would you go out and try to get other people to... The only reason is that you're not doing that good, so you have to get a group to pay you. If that's your profession and you're sending three girls to college and you have a pilot's license and a plane, then that's a different story. Like the investment advisor that handles my IRA. There aren't that many of them. There's a lot of amateurs out there.

I mean, I think you have to pay for advice. You pay dearly. But that advice, which you're paying dearly for, is making you way over 1,000%. It's the advice that you get, even more. You can't quantify it. The way to do it is, what I see is kids, when they get out of high school, they get into college, they get together, and they have these investment clubs. But it's clubs with kids that you went to high school with, you're going to college with. And they invest together. They do local investments. We're not talking about stocks. I'm never really sure. I've never done it. But they never mention stocks. It would be good that they put stocks, but they do other sorts of investments, I mean, locally, little businesses and stuff. But one way to stop that nonsense is to say, you call it some other type of consulting, but charge them dearly. And it's $1,000 an hour if you want to sit down and talk to me. And I'll talk to you, generally speaking, on the general approach to investment on this particular thing, ABMC, and have them sign maybe a letter of understanding. And charge them dearly. And now the people, and this is what I found, Ron, in my experience. People, you can say whatever you want, right? If you don't charge them, then I'm going to listen to you. And the more you charge, the more they'll listen to you. And you have to charge dearly. And once you charge enough money, and usually you get the job because of your reputation, but once you charge, they'll go to the office and say, well, this is expensive, but it's not. The second part of this is people don't have capital. And they've been trying to build their capital. I don't know how the hell they're trying to build their capital. So they don't have the capital. They're not even little players. So I don't know. I really haven't given this much thought. But what I found in my humble opinion, charge dearly. I pay dearly. We use a company called Deloitte, Tush. And you pay. You pay a lot for their tax advice. And we've had over, oh my goodness, over I would say 23 years with them. And so you pay. But on the other hand, you're making multiples because of advice. So people have to pay. And when people pay, they'll take it seriously. The second thing is Warren Buffett has these letters, the yearly letters. And I'm not indifferent to my idea. But you can learn a lot from Warren Buffett, I think, in my opinion. And any of these letters. Actually, you read those letters. And that's advice from a Warren grad who I sent to Warren who I often get into Warren. But yeah, so that's the old language on and on with this. But yeah, but you should be very proud of what you've done and what you've accomplished.

But basically, I mean, just to recap, basically, I think I'm charging a lot. Not a lot, but you know, it's value. But charge, that's one filter. The last question that I asked you was, you know, there are tests, because they're tests, and you study them, you pass them, and you forget everything that was on the test. But taking your test, that test, the series 62, I think, so 65, was it useful studying for that test? Did that help you become a better investor? I would think it would, you know.

Now, I've read what happens to some people is that they take the test, pass it, and then they're afraid to make any trades. You know, in a Western trade, you know, it wasn't worth it to do anything. That's why it's set up where you can handle a couple of accounts before you get a Series 65. I've seen where also somebody, you know, did that. I'm going to tell you where they did that and traded, you know, their mother's account. And it was two brothers, as a matter of fact. And they handled her account under the exclusion and exceptions clause to having to have a Series 65 or become an investment advisor representative because that comes after the Series 65. They cheated the mother. And it was kind of sad. They kind of crashed all of her money and spent it all on everything. So, you know, with that in mind, you know, you have to be a, you know, honest person going into that. Finding a good investment advisor is like trying to find a good mechanic to work on your car. Now, I'm sure she didn't expect her two sons to cheat her like that. So, it's good to watch for that. I thought I'd bring that out because which told me reminded me of those two instances.

So what they do is they get their assets and they give it to their kids, you know? And they're not left with much of anything.

I mean, it's one thing, you know, getting my, I'm a mom who's a custodian for my kids' money, that's the way that I see it, you understand? So I'm just a custodian for it. But I could teach them how to manage money, you know? How to manage capital. And so that's another thing I do believe with your children, you have to do it.

They dilute their shares or their ownership of it. I don't know. But what I'm trying to say is that if you want to... You have to be mature and you have to learn about investing your money. And I think you have to do that before you even have a financial advisor. Don't depend on a financial advisor to learn. Back to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T03:32:38+00:00","id":15141,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15140,"text":" on the bank and a checking account is, and don't put a lot on your credit cards. This isn't, and it doesn't apply to everybody because not everybody has money that they're not going to be using in the next three years. And that should be invested, you know, they should contact an investment professional to handle that for them. And if that isn't the case, then if you can get a 401k, that's one of the best ways. Disadvantage of that is you can't touch it forever, you know, especially if you're really young. You're never going to reach that age. So that can be disappointing. But if you don't have a lot of self-discipline, 401k is very good. Now, some of these individual accounts you can open up in brokerages are good. They're called direct accounts. If you have self-discipline, not to touch it for, you know, five years, they can be very rewarding. If you take it out of here, you've got to consider the tax implications for when you do use it. And that's like a long term. If you get a drip account, you've got to go into that thinking that I'm not touching that for at least 10 years. And that can go towards, say, a down payment on a house. Now, for the short term, you know, this Christmas Club, you don't hear too much about them anymore. Unless you're responsible enough, you know, you would do that. You have to be responsible to know that it's a necessity, like, you know, how to not abuse your credit card or have a checking account and pay bills. Back to you, Dan. Your Christmas Club is a great idea. Having a mortgage is a great idea. I remember my mother used to say, it doesn't matter. You know, I'm very analytical. And I'd do my deals and stuff, and my mom said, like, don't do that. You know, because as a kid, get a mortgage, and that gives you the obligation to pay monthly. Where that money, if you're a kid, would probably be spent in a car or something else that's worthless, or vacation on your girlfriend. It's a good discipline. It doesn't matter what the issue. So there's a big part of a venture that's just discipline. And I remember the Christmas Club. She used to do Christmas Club, too, which is a great thing, you know? But yeah, I guess it's a discipline aspect. You know, I tell my kids, you know, you got to think. I don't have, I drive in the US a 35-year-old car. In the States, in Colombia, my daughter drives a 17-year-old car, a Hyundai. It used to be called an XL here in the US in the late 80s. We have a van. We have a Kia van, you know? And I remember my, you know, so it's a long story. It's getting a little too personal. But we don't waste money on cars. You know, and I tell them, you know, the situation about cars. And if you take that money, it's not a good asset to have, you know? And especially when you're buying expensive new cars. And I just go on and on. I can go on and on with this. But even leasing for us, and we have a business, leasing is not even a good idea for us with the leasing part. And I did the math. I did it with my tax people. And it's not a great idea either, you know? Not for my, not for what, you know, my business is. It has a tax write-off. So I don't know. I think I try to tell my kids, you know, the money that you spend on these cars, you should be investing it, you know? And that's it. And I told my daughter once, I'm going to be kidding. You know, I told my daughter once, Ron, you know? I'd be more happy that your first boyfriend or your boyfriend had like a truck called, you know, Sam's Plumbing, you know, and picked you up on that truck to go on your first date than they pick you up on a BMW, you know, and a BMW or a Maserati or whatever. You know, the first guy I think would be smart, and the second guy I think would be an imbecile, you know? And so, you know, but that's the situation. So her boyfriend's driving a 1991 car, and he was just given a 2001 car. So their family is not the same mindset as we are, you know? But yeah, you see a lot of foolish spending, Ron. You know, back to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T03:42:45+00:00","id":15142,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15141,"text":" Yeah, that's good advice and it doesn't really matter where it came from. You know, you're giving me advice and it's just within your experience. I don't, unless it's relevant, say why I say this. I'm saying this because it's within my experience. And here it is, you know, it doesn't matter what the circumstances were, how you learned it. The fact is you learned it. If you want to share it with somebody, you don't necessarily have to go reinforce it. Unless, you know, you're questioned, well why would you think that? You can cite that as an example. To put it into perspective, you know, starting out even with a trip account of 401k, it can be kind of discouraging. Looking at it, it's long term and it will, provided that you take the, subscribe to the plant. When it has a chance to really take hold, then that's when it looks like it was worth it. The reason why a lot of people think, you know, you can make all this money and I don't want to crush anybody's expectations here, but if you want to make a million dollars in the stock market, you better start with two million. And that's what I was taught. And to do better than that you have to take greater risks and you don't want to take a risk. You might have a loss that would be too hard to recover from. The stock market isn't there to make you money. It's a dangerous place. If anything, they're out to take your money and not give you anything in return. That's why it's good to have a professional. And it's what banks do every day. I mean, I would say, if I could go back and tell my younger self, or give myself some advice, I would go back and tell myself to not ever deal with banks and have a brokerage account. Because there are some brokerages that you can find. I'm not going to tell you what they are. I'm not here to recommend anything to anybody. You can have a checking account, a credit card, a savings account, and access to all kinds of different. lucrative ways to grow your money. And even in the savings account, the interest rates at the time that banks are giving is always higher. I mean, decently higher. We would see a big difference from when you had your money in a banking savings account, and you put it in a brokerage that you could trade out of. And you could still write checks and pay your bills and everything else. So I wanted to let whoever's listening out there know about that. If you're listening to AA4HL run Miramar, Florida, anybody who wishes to contribute, this isn't a private conversation, they're welcome to join. Over to you, Jan. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November. Yes, sir. I think that's fantastic. But if you want to make a million dollars, the market would have two million. You know, a lot of the game here is, it's mildly is capitalism, right? And in a capitalism game, you have to have capital. And once you have that capital, you move differently than when you don't have the capital. My thing is that there's a linear thinking in what you're saying. I don't know anything about that drip account, but when you're young, you have to educate yourself on this game of acquiring capital and have a plan. But you have to risk when you're young. And you have to risk, you know, and then you risk less as you get older. That seems to me the way to do it. And if you start from nothing, your risks have to be much greater when you're young, you know. And so having a go-to-asleep account, you know, drip, I don't know the drip account, but just putting money blindly into mutual funds, and a lot of people do it, is that they're asleep, you know. And if you're asleep, you're going to get slaughtered. The idea is you have to be awake, and you have to start learning how to invest when you're a kid. And then as you're moving to your ladder, your risk level has to be high when you're young, and then maybe less as you get on with your life, you know. I mean, I tell my daughter, she's going to be a doctor, she did this medicine thing, which I prefer that she was in business, to be honest with you. But, you know, so, and my son's going to go, you know, he'll be in the Navy, and hopefully, it's what they want to do, you know. And hopefully my son will, you know, just do the Navy part for, you know, four years college at the Academy, if he gets in, and maybe he'll be another seven years, because he wants to be a pilot. So, so whatever, in 12 years, he'll be in business, right? But, but when I told my daughter, I said, look, whatever you're going to do, just understand that you have to have in your mind, seven years out of your residency program, or your residency, you know, that you want to retire in year seven. You know, and retiring doesn't mean complete retirement, but you have to think that money has to be made for you by you not doing the procedures. You know, you have to find some sort of a business model that you won't have to physically be doing things like surgeries or whatever the hell you want to do. And so, so in seven years, and, and now I don't know where I got that number from, I guess my own personal experience, but if I'm alive, you know, we'll work on that one, you know. But there's a discipline in this stuff, and the game is about capital, right Ron? I mean, you have capital, you live off your capital, but these kids have to learn how to build that capital, you know, and, but the problem is too, you know, you know, it depends what you do in your life, but I'll tell you something, if I were an earlier version of myself, I'd become a plumber. That's what I would do. And that's it. Yeah, sorry Ron, I think I just over, overly talked again, but you know, if I had to do my life all over again, I'd become a plumber Ron."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T03:43:51+00:00","id":15143,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15142,"text":" Yeah, isn't that a lot like what a doctor does anyways?

But with that license, you can do a lot of things. With a mechanic, you don't need a license. So there's like, what investors would say, what's that word, like, you have a castle and you have a moat, you know? So you have a moat there, which is a license.

That'll give Larrin, Gray, and Dee a chance to tell me about their morning so far and what they have planned for the day. This and that, I've been doing a lot of thinking about, and I think it's going to change over the next few months as I start implementing new things. We'll talk more about that as we go. But it is a beautiful Friday morning, so no sort of Mondays or Fridays. You made it to Friday so you can get back, sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy the weekend. So with that, we're going to move to AA-4-H-O, and let's hear what Larrin has to tell us this morning. Good morning. Yeah, good morning, Josh. Good morning to everybody participating in the call upon getting on the G-drop. Yeah, I got a big dinner tomorrow. Thank God it's Friday. Looking forward to this weekend and that big dinner tomorrow night. I got a pipe, and it was actually too small for it to work. Well, it wasn't really, you know, the size didn't matter, forgive the pun. It was the connector. It didn't fit in there, and it's a stepper motor. And the stepper motor I got had four wires, and the plug was five. So I reordered it, and this morning I'm going to get that, and I think that's going to solve the problem to fix this device. I'm trying to get working again. Pretty much I was on for an hour this morning with Dan and Columbia, and I talked for about an hour. I'm going to keep this short, give other people a chance to talk more. If you weren't able to catch the conversation with Dan this morning, we covered several really neat topics in the pre-med. It was interesting. I think you missed out if you did. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 64, Quebec November. Gold star note 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. AA-4-8-0, KJ-5, IOQ. Well, you were coming in pretty choppy there at the end. I don't know if it was just me, or if it was everybody. I'll pause and let Gray or somebody else chime in to make sure it wasn't just me. But you were pretty choppy, and I didn't catch the end of that. I don't know if it was me or D, because I know you two are on the net. Did y'all hear the same thing? Yeah, I heard him cutting out from time to time, especially towards the end. Thank you very much, Gray. So there's our confirmation run. So it isn't just me. So no big deal. I could make out most of what you were saying. It was just popping out of the way, kind of like me just hitting the C-T button. So I thought that might let you know, and maybe you could work on that between now and next door. With that, I'm going to send it over to AA. I'm sorry, I'm going to send it over to KC-2-PKG. And let Gray tell us about his beautiful morning, I'm sure, up in Maine. The mic is yours, sir. AJ-5-IRQ, this is KC-2-PKG. Good morning. I'm wishing you well on your first Friday. First of many, I hope. It is a very pretty morning here. It's a little warmer than I like. It's going up to 78 degrees. But other than that, it's going to be clear and sunny. The only fly in the ointment is that we are only four in right now. Only four cats in. One stayed out. Lizzie stayed out all night and has not shown up for breakfast yet this morning. So not time to worry yet. I mean, she's been gone as long as four and five days. But we like to have them in. We did not get them all in last night. So that is a big problem. Anyway, I will pass it back to you, PG-5-IRQ. This is KC-2-PKG. Well, my wife and I both said, oh no, we hope the end of the cat comes in. I'm sure it will. You have mentioned before though that the main words, eat the cats. I think that was your wording. So that's concerning. But it's our honor to have a few cats over ourselves. We have a pair of white cats. Charlie and Alfred is what they ended up getting called. In fact, I need to snatch them up and get them down to the vet and get them snipped. They are right up to that age for that now. But they are the neighborhood Bruiser Brothers. They tend to stay together and they pretty much run the neighborhood now. So you know, these young teenage cats, about the only cat they don't necessarily know is our old cat, Knox. We've had that cat for many, many years. He is a big old cat. I don't think there's a cat in town that will miss that old fella. But anyhow, I really hope the cat is tired. Thanks for joining us this morning. It sounds a bit warm up there for you. I'll figure it out right here shortly. With that, we're going to go over to KN4LDF. We're going to give Dee a chance at the mic. Good morning, Josh. This is KN4LDF. This is Dee. I, of course, every day wake up and I'm grateful that I was allowed to wake up. It's beautiful outside. I'm going to tell you a story about my cat. I had a cat and I first named him Puss in Boots. He wouldn't answer to it. So I went and called him Pussy. He answered to that. So one time he ran out the house and I went screaming his name all over the place. And everybody in the neighborhood, it's a small town, came out the door to see why I'm screaming Pussy. So it's a funny story, but it is the dark gone truth. I named him. He was registered as Pussy. And when I went to the doctor, they went in. When they called me in, they say, OK, we're here for Pussy. So, hey, that's a funny story. But he lives to be 14 years. So back to you, Josh. KN4LDF. KN4LDF? I might get a little speechless at the moment. That's unheard of. That word you can get away with saying on ham radio without getting in trouble in a proper context. I wonder if I can work out some of my other colorful words. Probably not. But that is a hilarious story. Thank you for sharing that this morning. So, man, I'll tell you what. Getting going this morning is rough on me. I guess I need to put my thoughts together, which is OK. How much better is it I said? But I ate a few things I thought I probably shouldn't have. Not with my digestive stomach issues that kill me. Anyhow, I had some dog talk last night. I probably ate a few pieces too many. I don't eat it often, so when I do eat it, I eat it well. They're not herky nuggets. I don't want to go buy those. But they're just perfect little mouth-sized bites of perfectly sweet dark chocolate. I don't care if I let milk chocolate or some of the other stuff they got. Just a plain, solid milk chocolate. Man, I don't know if I'm talking about dark chocolate. It tastes so good. It's cheap chocolate. Herky's is not extravagantly rich chocolate. But, man, it's the spot maneuver you're in the mood for. Anyhow, the chocolate doesn't work well with my acid reflux and all that other stuff I'm dealing with. So, what I've learned is when I do that to myself, it doesn't just make my belly feel bad the next morning. It really makes you foggy. It's funny. I'm learning that when my stomach is in great shape, my brain is in great shape. That's why I'm not interested. I thought I'd share that. Alright, we've come to the bottom of the first grow out. We're going to do another round of check-ins before we actually get going. One of the things I think I'm going to do is bring that. It's been the first 15, 30 minutes just getting check-ins. See, everybody's doing their thing. Grady kind of does something similar. And then we'll kind of get started right around the 7 o'clock hour. I feel like we'll have more of a good lineup of people who want to talk. And today's topic is all about the cow bungenet. So, to let you know in advance before we get going, and nobody needs to answer it yet. And I meant to post this and I just don't have a habit down yet. So, I have hard ends when I post something early. But really, the question of the day is this. What brings you to the cow bungenet? Let me hear why you come to this net every morning. We'll come here a couple of times over the EECO just once a month. Here we go, I would like to know what brings you here. What are you enjoying? What are you not enjoying? We're going to do some follow-ups with that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T04:49:24+00:00","id":15162,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15161,"text":" Alright, that's weird.

Again, the question of the day will be what brings you to the cow-bunging net. And let me hear right here this morning. Alright, you can come every day, once a week, once a month. Inquiring lines would like to know. But before we do the question of the day, I would like to make another round of check-ins.

Catch you a slight cough. I'm on the go whenever you checked in. But I guess I just couldn't hear it very well. So good morning to you all. We'll go to V-1-W-I-N. Good morning and how are you this morning? The mic is yours. Good morning, Josh. Welcome to V-1-W-I-N in net control. There you go. I'm surprised. I just turned this on. Yeah, I was up earlier but went back to bed. I got up at like probably 5.30. Then I stayed up for a little bit, watched a little TV, then went back to sleep and just woke up like 5, 10 minutes ago. We're going to get dressed here soon. And we brought a new garbage bin for the front yard. Our other one kind of brought it apart. Well, yeah. Then I got to put the garbage in the shed for now. Apparently, I didn't want any ammo beaten. So once we get the new bin today, they're going to deliver it. It costs us $350 for the bin. But this is a nice looking garbage bin anyway. Other than that, Josh, not too much, man. Just a little bit of a break. I'm just reading a book here on coastal Maine. Where to go and what to see in Maine. I'll be down there in September sometime. After Labor Day, I think is when we're going to go. Other than that, Josh, I hope you're here, man. If Dale is here, I'd like to apologize for Wednesday. Because I had to go to a club meeting. And I don't know why. I didn't just check in and out. But I was having internet issues. And also yesterday I was having internet issues. So here you go. Thank you, Josh. Keep me on the list, man.

I'm gonna have to be a restorant episode. I don't know if anybody here watches the old restorant television show. It is actually one of my favorites. I just love watching the versions of the restorant when the show is out. It's a little outdated now, but man, it's still such a great show. I specifically remember one episode where they were trying to get confirmed for justice. The guy was arrested for drinking and driving in the episode up in Maine. He was in town, I think he was in Nova Scotia, coming back to the White House or something like that. He was pulled over for drinking. He was a blue-up, blue-up, blue-up, drop-off, something that would kill him. If he drank alcohol, so I would have been drunk. But they were talking about how he was in Keek, taking the time to get to the White House for the president because he was in Keek on coastal Maine. And that's just what it made me think of. So that sounds really fun. Especially after the late-night because you know when you start calling off, it would be really nice. But we appreciate that. We're gonna move on to Lima Alpha 5, Victor, Mike, Alpha. Hi, my name is Josh, KJ5IRQ, and I am the net controller today on the gala, Bonganette.

Name on the side is Sir Raynald, Romeo, OPA, Yankee, November, Oscar, Lima, Delta, and the QTH is Trondheim, in the central part of Norway. The WXA is nice and sunny, about 71.6 degrees Celsius, so yet another day with nice weather here in the central part. Ian Pye was going to try to answer your question, but why I come to the net? I do so because it's a nice way to meet new and old ham radio fans. When I came back to the ham radio, I didn't have any 8-check radio, so I used Echo Link. I'm still using Echo Link and DMR alerts, and that's a nice way to stay in touch with new and old ham radio fans. So that's the main reason for me coming back to the net. For one, I am on your net, Josh is changing a bit, but I try to stop by when I have time to do so. Otherwise, there's nothing much going on here today. I have a nurse here, visiting me for the moment, so he is doing his job. At the same time, I'm having a good time at the net this afternoon. So that's the day on this side, Josh. I'll be sure to have a nice morning, and I hope to catch up with you again later. This is Lima Alpha, fly back to make alpha, returning Mike back to the net. Alright, alright, well Victor, I'm sorry, Lima Alpha 5, Victor Mike Alpha, this is, uh, he is E85 IRQ, and uh, wow, he began to fly today. You're already half ready, over half ready to leave your day. It is, uh, just about 7am here in Texas, where I am at. Uh, so, we are glad you joined us today. Um, just a general knowledge, the cow brought in at off-brake 6.30, uh, 2.9am, Monday 2.5, that's Texas time. You'll need to adjust into your time zone. Uh, that would be an hour ahead in the eastern time zone, and if you're on the Pacific coast of the United States and you're looking at your eyes before, uh, and then you can do some math on all the other time zones. But we are glad that you are here with us today. Uh, and then we're gonna move to KD0MAI, George! You were looking up today a little bit, buddy, but I think you'll probably be back out on the road.

We're going to leave him tentatively on my list. I'm here to help him back. So what we have on the list so far this morning is AA-4-HO and KC-2-PKG, KN-4-LDF. We had a couple of in and out. V-1-WIN, LA-5, VMA, and then tentatively KV-0-MA. So that's not the first big round of initial check-ins. I'm going to stop moving on and we'll take a few more check-ins here shortly. But let's get on to the main part of the net. So I am glad you all have made it to the cowabunga net today. It is my first Friday at net control and my fourth attempt total at net control. So if I make a mistake or two, I think it's to be expected. A man once said never apologize in advance and I've already done that. So we can see that that is over. So let's kick it off by asking the question of the day. I will start getting in the habit of posting these in advance like he does. I think that's fair. It gives everybody time. Well with that being said, the question of the day is what brings you to the cowabunga net? Let me hear why you've come to us this morning. Did you come daily? I'd like to know why. What brings you back all the time? Did you come weekly or monthly? Or if you don't love me at all? I'd also like to know why. Good or bad? We really don't care. We really like to know why. That's how we can kind of form the net and kind of make these nets more engaging for you, the participants. I'm not really doing the net control because it's fun for me, although it is. I do it for you guys and girls. I am generally interested in doing a lot of what y'all are doing and I would like to know as much about it so y'all really care. That being said, we will go ahead and move up to AA-4-H-O. We'll ask Juan one more time the question of the day. Juan, you come here every day and some days you have some battles and some days you don't. You have one of those perspectives that are quite different from most of the other people on the net, kind of like myself. So, with that being said, why don't you come to the net, buddy? What do you get out of it? What do you enjoy? What would you like to change? And that's all we're going to do for the first question. So with that, we're going to send it to Juan. AA-4-H-O, this is KJ Fab. IAP, the mic is yours. Again, Josh, good morning to you and everybody participating in the cowabunga net on the two truck van. I wanted to keep it short because I was on previously and I know I was cutting in and out. And I want to get back with you real quick, Josh, to find out if I'm in solid now because I switched over to the backup. I mentioned that I had a conversation this morning and I talked for a long time with Dan, the retired physician, that lives in Columbia now and we had a nice conversation and if you hadn't caught it, you had missed, I think, something real good. And we had it left open that anyone could have participated in. So how is this coming in now, Josh? My friend, you're covering the end almost crystal clear. No popping, no breaking. You're appropriately readable. Yeah, great. Now let me get on to the question. Thank you for that, Josh. I did say this a few times before about why I am here every morning. I do think that there's something special here going on and that's one big thing that brings me back here every day. You know, before I start listening, his head swells up and you can't get it out through the front door. That is actually a secondary thing. The primary reason actually, to put it simply, is that it just fell right in line with my schedule. And I get to, since I get up early in the morning, beyond here and the time that I have before my day starts really getting going, that time just goes by quick and I don't have to go looking for something to do. And the fact that this is a net that I feel is very worthwhile and special. There's a side effect besides. And this is something I've said before. Okay, Josh, that's the answer to your question this morning. I'm going to turn it back over to you, Ron. AA-4 or AA-2, you're referred. AA-4, AA-2, this is KJ-5. Hi, OQ. Well, that's good. Special net. I agree with you. This is a special net. I have been looking and listening to a few other ones. I was thinking part, I didn't think part of the outcome of that for a while. I started logging in and just saw something for a while before I could check in. And I agree so far, it is a wonderful kind of net. We're going to take the question and we're going to pose the same thing to Gray. And I am sure that Gray is going to have some very interesting answers on this question. Being in that controller for this net, he does have the flexibility to change things on his net. So I'm sure he has a different perspective, especially since that's lately. Actually since I've been on, which I guess is like before long enough, I've been on it the whole time, you know, about eight, nine months worth. His question is, is the question of the day always on the page? His segments are what I'm calling them, are always engaging. And he does some things on every of them that I've not heard of people doing, like interviewing people and things like that, which I found fascinating. So with that, Gray, we're going to pass it on to you. Tell us, you know, what brings you back to the Cabo net? Why do you like to host it since you are a net control host? And what made you decide to make your net the way that you made it? Your question is a little different because you are a next controller. And I'd just like to get that perspective from you. KJ5, I want you over to PCH. Located in Shelton, Washington. This is KJ5IRQ. This is KC2PKG. A little administrative at first. When George checked in, he said he was going to be in and out. So you don't have to, I don't think you have to keep calling him. The other thing is you got somehow, magically, you got Raynold from Tronheim, which we don't hear from him a lot. And it's always cool when he gets on. Talk about unique perspectives. It's an interesting guy. I come back every day and listen on Sundays. Because I really want to know why people think the way they think. It's an old story. But we, when we moved up here, it was very early in, well it was actually the beginning of the surprise Trump administration. And I was totally caught off guard. I never thought that guy would get a vote. I thought he was a joke. But he got voted in. And I suddenly realized that I don't know much about my own country and people in it. I know about the people in my circle, but I don't know about anybody else. So, now I live way, way, way north and east. And it's, let me drop it for a second. Okay, AC2, the AG return, hopefully briefly. And, I called it, when I first got here, it was Radio Deadland. I mean, I scanned every repeater. And there's at least 20 repeaters. And there's nobody talking on them at all. So that didn't really, that wasn't very exciting. And I couldn't find out what people were thinking that way. So I jumped back on Echo Link, which I used a lot in New Jersey. And somehow I stumbled across the Dew Drop Inn, which was there at that point in time. The net, Cow Bung Anet, was only an hour long. And it has lengthened throughout that time to now at least two and a half hours every day. It's my radio club. You guys are my club members, or the other club members. And even though I belong to two, they really never do anything. It's the activity and the traffic on this net that really sets it aside. It's a great thing. It is a great thing. And I'm constantly selling, saying, you know what, you need to hook up to a conference server. You got all these dead repeaters here that don't do anything at all. Put a conference server on there. So that there are people talking. There are people to interact with. I'm not a great salesman, I guess. Anyway, and okay, I'll drop it one more time. You shouldn't ask. All right. This time I am returning only briefly. This is KC2PKG. I started changing around my net because I wanted to do things that were different. I wanted to push the envelope. And I've got a bunch of different ideas. I usually try them out first, see how people react to them, get their honest opinion. And then I go back, I've got a pop quiz coming up Monday. That'll be the activity. But I think people like crosswords. Some people like 20 questions. The interview thing is great, but I've run out of people to interview. I had a whole bunch of people who said they're just too busy during the summer and it's too early in the morning for them. So I'm trying to figure out how to time shift it. So that we can keep doing that because I think people really enjoyed it. And I'm constantly looking for new ideas, new ways of doing things. So I challenge you, man. I am challenging you. Do something new. Surprise everybody. Anyway, back to you. KJ5IRQ, this is KC2PKG. KJ5IRQ, this is KJ5IRQ. And you can like me, I would say, especially in the quietness around local regions. We have a local coordinator on the left. Hello. I've never been on a radio, which has not been very loud. I've never been truly active, active. So I'm going to try to get you guys to come up here. I'm going to try to get you guys to come up here. I'm going to try to get you guys to come up here. I'm going to try to get you guys to come up here. I've never been truly active, active. Now there's a guy on there I get on on. He used to get on and talk to a lot. But he recently got his general license and got on the scene with my advantage and some other things that I'm not into. And at the moment, I don't get to talk to him as much. There's another little old man on there. He's a retired veterinarian. He's a really cool guy. But he also runs a ranch. We all don't understand ranches in Texas. Back in the 80s, we had a sort of land of the cow, 200 to 1,000 acres, making the land of hundreds and thousands of cows. I think he said he had around 150 acres, 100 acres, something like that. And it's similar to going to town. And he runs a town on the Pat. But he's a 70-something-year-old man, if I remember right. And he's out there working that ranch every day. So he just doesn't have time for him radio. He jumps on in the middle of the day when he is speaking one of his kids to run up or something like that. And then once in a while, hundreds of thousands of years, his wife has already been down. He takes a camera also. The other guy that was on our repeater, he died. So in the summer, there's no activity on the local DHS repeaters at all. There is something called the North Texas Central Connection. I believe that was in the NCTC.net. I believe it's a website. It's really cool. It's about 40-ish or so we've been as linked up all across Texas. Huge network. It's fairly active. The problem is that it's not going to interfere with people. I mean, they give you a hard time or hear your signals off. They give you a hard time about a lot of things. And then you're going to turn me off. So I don't get on there. It's really sad, too bad, because there's a lot of good people that I hear talking on there. And maybe I'll get back on it again one day. But I don't get to read as much. I stick with all story and echo and run out. That seems to be where I need to be. And so that's where I'm focusing my focus on. You and that stuff, it's really good. I'm going to take a real quick break. One hour over, Archie goes through an extended Friday. He is to firstly and slope. Entering a radio, I guess you can call it 3.0, and see who passes you the point on that. I mean, guys and girls, we have a dying hobby. It's up to us to keep it alive. If we don't change at the time, the radio's not going to occur, seeing more than what it is. And so that concerns me. I really enjoy it, like I was telling my wife yesterday, recording on your radio. It's the hobby that you can never even get bored in. If you're bored and you're also in a low-end, well, pick up an agent for it. Get you a general license and try that out. So yeah, I want to pressure her to hold some of this. I don't want it to be as big as that. I want it to be engaging. I want it to be something that everybody would like to be a part of. What's really good was people who want to purge the low-end radio. I'm trying to say that tactfully. Because I know there's a lot of people who want to keep things just the way it is, and that's pretty acceptable. I'm just not one of them. So with that, I'm going to send it to TK and 4LDF. Miss D, you're a little bit less new than I am. So I'm just interested to hear your take. Why don't you come to the car, what do you get out of it? Yeah, that. So the mic is yours. This is K and 4LDF. This is D. Josh, I'm going to tell you. When I first came into him, I had a serious thing called mic fight. Every time I picked up the receiver, I would go into a cold sweat. So I tried very hard, and because that was a problem for me, I got my license in 2018. I just stopped, just gave me a headache, I just got sick, pop up tasers, just talking out to people. And then I picked it up again, and my area is really silent where I'm at. There is nothing. So I decided to go into Echo Link. When I first tried Echo Link, it wouldn't work for me. I couldn't get it for about two or three weeks, and they wouldn't have started working for me until I figured it out. I was able to go into different rooms and nets. I downloaded a couple of schedules, and I started seeing interesting things. Let me reset, one moment. So then when I came into Do Drop In, I downloaded a schedule, and I really like learning from different places. I like to absorb, I like to learn things. I have an open mind. At least I believe I have an open mind. And I like different places' opinions, like Canada and England and different places, because that lets you understand where other people think about our country, our USA country. So by learning while other people think about you, and within ourselves. Within ourselves and this country is another thing. And I like the controversy, but what I do like about this specific here in Do Drop In is, it is still respectful if you have a controversial conversation here. You don't have derogatory expressions in here, which I appreciate, because if you come to that bullying and derogatory name calling and stuff like that, out probably would just not come anymore. That would not be my thing. But so far you guys have kept it respectful and common courtesy, which is very good. I appreciate that. So for me it's very critical for people to have respect, for me to stay in that particular room. And learning about other countries and where we stand today, different people's opinions really does matter. Because if you have an open mind you can learn something out of another person's opinion. And you can keep on the manure just by learning by other people's experiences too, I think. Well, I'm Miss Kay and for LBS, this is Dee.

Uh, Mike, it's a real thing. I was very nervous when I first started getting on the radio. I was so nervous that I wasn't doing it around my family. I didn't want to see it, it was one of those things that I just wasn't sure of myself. I'm currently going to have that because I'm an alcoholic. But I do agree with your assessment. The information we get on this mess is unique. I really appreciate it. It has made me think that it's all great. My own beliefs, which is what I think we all should be doing every day. Anybody who says this is what I believe in is never going to change is a closed off individual. It doesn't ever grow as an individual, I think. That's my opinion. I'm not saying it's towards anybody. I really try to have an open mind because I want to grow. I believe that's what we're put on this Earth to deserve. Just like a tree, just like a plant or an animal. We're no different. We are put on this Earth to be symbiotic with nature and learn. It kind of sounds like a tree-hearted thing. I don't think it is. I think it's just the general nature of life. Uh, P.A.A.L.F., I really, really appreciated your perspective. Okay, well now that we've moved on past the, we are going to go ahead and move on to, uh, Peter, who you warned of you on hand. Uh, the mic is yours, sir. Yeah, I like coming to this net. I like coming to this net. I've been up on this for quite a while. I was also a former net control back, what, three years ago, I guess. I used to actually do Friday mornings until I screwed up. You won't talk about what happened. I started saying some bad words on the air and, uh, Darryl. Yeah, it was, uh, wasn't too bad. But that's alright, you know. I learned my lessons, but that's okay. I still do other net control journeys on other nets, on other, other, uh, nodes here on Echo Link, so. I keep myself busy and, uh, I've already met a few people off the net. I met, I met Gray, I met Bill probably two or three times anyway. And I met Darryl last September when I went to Newfoundland, so. Yeah, and I'm gonna keep adding to my list as I go, so. Yeah, hopefully I'll run into, we'll see what happens in September. Gray said he might be busy, but we'll, I'll talk to him later and we'll try and figure it out if we can make a time for him to meet up. Because we're gonna, I'm gonna head down that way, go down to Ellsworth and then, and a couple of other places down there. So, yeah. Yeah, I like the net. The net's very, it is controversial, but, you know. Some people don't have thick skin and some people just take offense to everything. And, uh, yeah, I agree with Dean. Next, you know, you've gotta be respectful there, but I think that's what happened to Gabby, it sounds like. Someone kind of said something in the text, I don't know if that's what happened, but. Someone upset Gabby, which I don't think is right anyway, but. You know, they should learn to be respectful, but. Some people can't do that, they weren't up, they weren't brought up to be respectful. They were, you know, they did their own thing when they were children. So with that Josh, I'll pass it back to you, man. I'll be here."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T05:29:41+00:00","id":15176,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15175,"text":" Here's G-1 W-I-N. Yeah, it's a pretty good bridge, first of all. Funny, I said, Peter, I don't even have a name next to it. Anyhow, um, I've turned around names now, makes a call for me on my team. Helps me in the north reserve, but I don't always do that. I need to get a system, see, I'm a creature of habit. And I've got to figure out my system for Friday mornings. I will get there. It just takes a little theory to get there. But you're right, this is, you know, this net is unique. Um, we are respectful to one another. And it seems like we lead out or help correct the ones you don't. Um, I did not know that you used to be on that controller, unless you did Friday and got in trouble. Um, I myself have got in trouble. About there I worked for it, we were dropping a bomb on the air work. Um, I promise you it won't be the only time I drop it. I'm sorry, now I flip up, I'm here and I make a mistake. I do try not to cuss a whole lot out loud. I still cuss a lot of my pecs and stuff to my buddies and stuff. Uh, nothing of the, uh, begins cussing. I think it's just a valid form of expression. It's no different than saying a hole or three. Being sent behind the word changes it, not the word itself. However, I don't want to offend people. Um, this is where I try throughout my life these days, is just kind of to offend people. Now, I am a blunt person who is a speaker without thinking. I get myself in trouble a lot. Um, but anyhow, this net is phenomenal. It is by far the master net that I've been a part of. Of course, I don't have a home on the research, but there you go. We're going to move down to Renault, LA-5, VMA. Um, I don't know if you're staying on the, on the loose a lot, but I'm going to call TNC Quebec. Come back to the mic and you'll still with us. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November. All star node six two two two. Located in Shelton, Washington. Alright, nothing of the earth. I thought he had said when he was talking about he appreciated it and loved it, but I didn't turn my keys to go read back on. But I wasn't for sure. He's on the list and it's easy to earn X's name. That brings me to the bottom of the list since George was in an Al Pinkie grave, by the way, for telling me that I did not catch that. But I have it down now. Me and Lily are going to fight. Lily is this little bitty street kitty. She is itty bitty right now. She seems like she might have been the rush of the litter. But she is still taking the same seat as us and I have come to love this little kitty. She's a creative and loving and the only thing I don't like is she's like all hot. When you're eating she wants to be there eating with you. I can't stand that. I'm trained, my dog is specifically not to sit there and look at me or you being around me when I'm eating. So we'll have to work on Lily a little bit. But she is going down to the vet soon. She is not going to have babies. Lily is kind of like my dog Willow. I am pretty big about them not having babies. Funny enough I was asked a week or so ago by a guy, he was out in town with his boy, and I was out in town with my boy, and he wants to breed him. He is all about having babies, dogs. And I was like, no. Even if I can give it all to puppies, that changes my dog. She's never the same. So the answer to breeding my dog or my cat is no. Don't know what brought that up, I just thought about it. All right, we are on the bump list. It is 7.20. I think I've taken check-ins two or three times. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do that. I don't like to split up in the middle, but I may need to. I've cleaned up their check-ins, seems like my notes is right around 7 a.m. and it's 7.20. So I am asking for check-ins. Come slowly if you don't mind, and clearly I am new at this. And I don't always catch them, but I am certainly bound to take yours. Go ahead with your call sign if you'd like to join the cows on the night. Victor, Oscar 1, uniform, C, F, E, O, 1, E, O, X, O, 2, Charlie, I hear it, thank you. I've got a couple of minutes, Josh.

I haven't had a chance to look you up yet, and I don't recognize your calls, man. Um, today, my net is... Sorry, I hit the button again. Basically focused on, uh, the cow bunker net. Um, for you who don't know, this is my fourth time at NECA, so my first NECA on a Friday morning. And, uh, it looks like this is gonna be my scheduled spot for a bit. Um, so with that, I'm just trying to gather some data. That's what I do for a living. Um, I am a data guy. So I'm trying to gain some data to figure out how to craft and how to set up, uh, this Friday morning net. Uh, I want it to be engaging. I want it to be polarizing. I want it to be cutting edge. Um, I plan to talk about things like Raspberry Pis and software that can enhance your ham radio life. Uh, integrating, uh, artificial intelligence into not just your radio life, but your daily life. Um, I say I want ham radio 30.0. That's kind of what I mean. Um, I want to develop a sense of community within this group of people. Um, as a source of information and a place to ask questions and to get, if not expert advice, good sound advice maybe. Uh, you know, we have somebody here on here who says, hey, I want to build my own node. How do we do that? Well, I know how. I've done it a few times now. Uh, Daryl knows how. Uh, so this is, you know, this is some stuff like that. Somebody says, man, I would love to be able to write. I have a writing passion. I just don't know where to start. Well, we have Ray who has been a writer or is a writer still. Uh, there are so many people who have so much knowledge, uh, that they can share with us. Um, they have very fine services. So that's kind of where I want to go with this net. Um, you know, so today is about data gathering about what you like about the Cowabunga Net. Uh, I will be asking probably if you're saying what you don't like about Cowabunga Net. Maybe today if we make it. Uh, and I am looking for more honest answers. You all don't hear my feelings. I hope you don't hear Nells or Bills or anybody else's. But sometimes, you know, a fair assessment of what's going on is the best thing to have. And since I'm starting as a new net controller on a new day, I do not feel like I'm going to have that data. So that's why we're doing what we're doing this morning. So before I head up to K- uh, I'm sorry, K-E-2-G-S-T, it's easier to say yours than Fanatic's for short. Um, I'm going to tell you a question of the day again. What brings you to the Cowabunga Net? Do you come daily, weekly, monthly? And why? So with that, we will start with the next round of check-ins. Kilo Echo 2 Charlie Zero Tango, the mic is yours. Hello, this is Kilo Echo 2 Charlie Zero Tango. The name is Pete. Pete Papa Echo Tango Echo, MNS State New York. And I just sort of stumbled into the Cowabunga Net. I've been doing a lot of chatting over on the East Coast Reflector. And somebody there told me about the Dew Drop In. And I don't know if it's a reflector or if it's- I don't know quite what the Dew Drop In is, but I looked it up and found an all-star number for it. And here I am. I'm coming to you through a BaoFeng HT. It's a UV5RM. And it's talking about 20 feet up to my office where the all-star node is. And then through all-star over the internet to your net. I never heard of the Cowabunga Net before I just turned the radio on this morning. And I don't know a lot about the Dew Drop In reflector or whatever it is. So I'm just here to find out that basic information, what are you guys about. I think you did a pretty good job explaining the Cowabunga Net to me. But I don't know how often you meet or if there are other nets or what the deal is. So I'm just here to find out what's what. So that's why I'm here. Again, the name is Pete, KET2CST. Over to you. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. Kilo Echo 2 calling Sierra Tsingo. Well first off, let me welcome you to the Cowabunga Net. My name is John, KET5IRQ. Then let's see what's still happening. First off, welcome to the Cowabunga Net. The Cowabunga Net is a 7-day-a-week radio, a ham radio network. I'm going to use Texas Times Central Time. I can use up to New York Times because my wife is from upstate New York. So for you it starts at 7.30 in the morning, every day. There's generally some shit-caps earlier that don't agree with that. And you can catch some of the regulars talking on there most mornings, I think. I generally don't get up that early because it's 6.30 in my time. By the time I get up and get going, it's time for the net. So I don't take part in much of the pre-net stuff. But I have heard them talk. AA4HO is a early morning guy. I know he likes to talk on that. You can get clearer information than I at the DDropIn.info website. We also have a Facebook page and a Discord server. If you're interested in joining the Discord server, send me a message. Let me know. You can look me up on QOZ, my email. I can get you in there. You can get a hold of Gerald Walford. He is a V01 UK team. He is our net manager. He's the guy that keeps the DDropIn going. The DDropIn is a network. It's an EchoLink conference server. The node is 355800. That's the main server. There's alternatives you can see on the website. There are a variety of nets that come on throughout the week. Feel free to go to the website and look up the schedule. I'm actually working on an... I think I'm making headway. I'm working on an AI chat bot that we can attach to the website. You can ask it things like, when's the next net? They can just pull up the information for wherever it's looking. It's going to be a little bit better. I can't spend all my time doing it. It's my normal job. That's something I have planned for this if I ever get around to it. I hope I gave you enough information about the DDropIn. If I haven't, again, DDropIn.info is your best source of information. We wholeheartedly welcome you to the net. We love having your people join us. You will get all kinds of views. You'll get conservatives, liberal, libertarian. You'll hear people talk about things you don't agree with. You'll hear things you completely agree with. The only thing we ask is, keep it civil. We are all adults here. We can talk about what affects our daily lives. I'm going to take a real quick break. There we go. Sorry, I was running out of time on my timer here. Yeah, we just ask everybody to be civil. Be adults about it. If you can't be civil, and if you can't talk with somebody at the normal adult world, then we probably don't want you on the net. Not to sound rude, but that's kind of what makes this net special in my mind. Anybody else can chime in and agree or disagree with that statement. We are very happy that you are here with us Pete. We are going to move down to John from Rancho Cucamonga. I really do enjoy seeing the name of your town. Good morning John. I hope all is well there. The mic is yours. KJ5, are you sending it over to KN6UYZ? Good morning Josh. Good morning everybody on the net. KN6UYZ. Gosh, everybody gave such great answers to your question already. It's a little tricky to come up with something fresh, but I made a couple of broad notes while I was listening to everybody else. I wrote the words that the net was unique, stimulating, and it had great questions. And then I realized that I started thinking about the people and I'm going, I feel like the people are unique on this net and the people are stimulating. And the people have great answers. So I think it's like everybody should give themselves a hand or a pat on the back or something, because I think that's who makes the net really such a great net. Something a little bit unique that I did, which I've stated before, is for the last few weeks or month or so now, I started doing a lot of research for trying to find nets. And I came up with 127 nets so far that I'm following to some extent. And let me reset for a moment."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T05:41:45+00:00","id":15179,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15178,"text":" KN6UIC, KJ sign up, I argue. I really like your answer. I do. And I agree with you, everybody seems to have really great answers today. John, I'm going to look you up on Killa's ad if your information's correct. If it's not, then please look me up. Mine is. I'd like to connect with you on that list. I help you out with our project. If you want some help, we could just... And we can even set up monitoring so we're interactive. If you wanted to have some kind of a notification saying, hey, this net is active, I bet we could come up with something and that may help you reach out to these nets a little more efficiently. That's interesting because I have a... Okay, there's a program called Notebook LM, Lima Mic, Notebook Lima Mic. It is a product from Google and it's built within the AI platform. What makes the Notebook LM unique is it's a notebook, fellas and girls. Just like you have a notebook, I'm using a notebook right here. It's where I'm writing down call files. Except this notebook is special, right? It's AI. It allows you to drop sources that you want to know more about into the notebook platform. The free version, which is more than enough for almost anybody, will allow you to do 50 sources. For example, you want to know about nets. You can go and search the internet for nets. I have a notebook actually that's kind of similar to what you're talking about. I just haven't messaged it much. But I did ERC, I did Do Drop In, 11 Cats. I think I kept it all to Echo Link or all sorts of offers. I don't remember how to look at it. But I captured all the data I could on those networks, their nets, scheduling and all that stuff. I'm not jumping into a notebook, L.M. But now I can go into my app on my phone, go to that notebook, and I've been, I need a net. It's 6 p.m. in Texas. What net's available? And it will give me a list of nets that I can go join. I've just set it up. I think that would be really helpful for you. In fact, I set up a new Discord channel, and I need to get back on there and start working on it. But I'm setting up a video conference room. It's going to be a public gaming room. I'm going to be talking about this the other day. And I'm going to attach it probably to the net, and anybody can use it, of course. But I'm going to use it for things that we talk about. For example, if there's enough interest out here in the net, after talking about notebook L.M., for an example. So there's a schedule on Discord, a video chat, where you can all get on there, and I don't mind showing you how I use it, or what case uses I use it for, and how you might be able to adapt it for your usage. I think sharing knowledge is the most important thing humans can do. And that's, I think, a great way that we can do it. So, man, all right, that seems like a lot to talk about, but you've got me excited there, John, talking about new nets and stuff. I am always on the lookout for different nets that are going to capture my attention. Unfortunately, I agree with you. Sorry, I had to reset again. I agree with you. Most net controllers have the same direction. That's why I don't enjoy them. And I'm going to be a little blunt here. I enjoy listening to the worldwide friendship net. Listen to it every day, almost now. It comes on right after this net. I don't usually take part in it. I'm just not engaged. It doesn't engage me. It's nice to listen to it like having a scandal in the background. But there's not enough dialogue back and forth that captures my attention. So nothing against the net. Again, it's just a wonderful net. It's just doesn't capture my personal attention. With that, I hope we gave Daryl enough time. That was kind of my intention. B01U KZ, I am going to pass the microphone to you if you're available. If not, we'll come back to you.

Moving back up to the top of the list, we're gonna move back up to AA-4-HO. Before we do, let's look at a couple of things. First off, the biggest news in my mind right now in the world is the release of chat. GPT-5's broken AI-ac and cat's ear to GPT-5. The newest model, rollout from OpenAI, they're the brains behind the most modular AI platform in the world, chat, GPT. The new rollout, GPT-5, brings in a radical change of auto-tune for intelligence when it comes to bot-making, scripting, stuff like that, which doesn't affect a lot of people, but it does. It's behind the scenes, but there's a lot of cool stuff in front of the scenes that chat GPT has worn out with 5, including AI-agents. AI-agents is a way to have the AI program think and reason for you based on what you tell it. I've tested it two or three times yesterday. It's phenomenal. I built a red page by telling it what I wanted. It hosted the red page for me. I literally talked through it, and it built a red page. Phenomenal. That's really what we're going to be getting into, really each day, but if not next week for sure. But that's what came out yesterday. That's some big news. In other news, President Trump nominated Stephen Moran to the Fed Board. And NASA reports two large asteroids, even a 300-foot behemoth, will fly by Earth today at safe distances. No deep defeat. Well, if it was to fear, what good would it do? GPT-5 we kind of talked about, but we'll come back. Oh, you know what? Real quickly, let's just talk about it. I want to bring it up today. We don't have to talk about it. But with the GPT-5, what can it do for you? What can it do for me or anybody else using the M-Radio? I really like to think of use cases. You can use GPT-5 in the listen mode now to help you log. I plan on doing that. QSL summarizations. Net control copilot. Metacondida. I'm using it. I have that GPT board up on my tablet right here in front of me. It has my follow-up question of the day. It has what I want to talk about. It has my thoughts of how I'd like to keep Internet rolling all while I'm inside GPT. If you wanted to build a new agenda, GPT-5 can help you plan it and tell you exactly how to build it. It can even generate mobile or growing SVG files, which I think is phenomenal that a computer can do that in a browser. You can use it as a user manual. If you have a new M-Radio that you bought, buy the option to put one out there, K3991-alpha. You don't want to read through the entire user manual. GPT can take that user manual and put it into almost any medium that you can accept and that you can run from. Fascinating. Daryl is back. I just got the text. So, let's move to V01UKZ. Let him have a spell and then we're going back up to the top to Ron and D. Because they have been waiting for a while this morning, I do believe. V01UKZ, this is K3-5 IRQ. The mic is yours. The question of the day, I'm not sure really the files so much do you like coming back every day and once you get out of the cowabunga net, you are the cowabunga net manager. Lock your doors. Well, technically that would be Russell. It's his net. The cowabunga net is anyway. I'm the overall do drop in system manager. So, it's a little bit different. Russell kind of started this net and stuff but I kind of keep it going. You know, in his later years, I've kind of kept it, you know, making sure things are covered and, you know, keeping everything in order and stuff. But, yeah, it's the system in general that I try to keep going here. But, what draws me back? The people. The freaking people, man. We got good people out here. We got a good crew. You know, a lot of us have been around for years and years and years. Some of us have just been around for years and years. Some of us have been around for years. Others of us have been around for months or weeks. But, every piece to the puzzle makes this canvas unique. Let's just put it that way. Every piece to the puzzle makes this unique. And, it wouldn't be the same without every piece. The puzzle, the canvas would manipulate and make itself into the picture it's going to be based on the pieces we currently have available to us. And that's always changing. So, that's what keeps me coming back, man. But, it's just a good time out here every day. Speaking of which, I think my internet issue, knock on wood, has stabilized. The repeater didn't come disconnected ever since yesterday morning. The link has stayed up, consistent, ever since yesterday morning. So, it's like a full 24 hours now with no glitch. So, I can confidently assume that the issues with the network up here are resolved. I mean, it doesn't happen a whole big lot, but it's bound to happen eventually. You're in the ISP business, Josh, so I'm sure you've seen it all. As to what was going on up here, I haven't the slightest clue. I was starting to blame it on the lightning that we had like last week. Because my internet was choppy for almost a full week before it got rectified. So, I was just starting to think, you know, hardware failure had to be. Because there was no way it was like this all over my neighborhood for like the last week. Or maybe my neighbors were just as lazy as my parents and just didn't call tech support. They hate calling tech support. They really do. And I always offer. You know, I'll deal with the phone company. I'll deal with the issue. But they're like, yeah, well, maybe tomorrow we'll deal with it. If it's still doing it tomorrow. And then eventually it just, the problem rectified itself. So, like, oh, we didn't even have to call tech support. But we had shitty internet for a week. You know? Oh, what do you do, right? It's kind of a catch-22. You kind of, you know, your parents are going to do their own thing. And that's just the way it is. I just live closer to mine than a lot of people. And some might say, oh, you're in your 40s still living with your parents. No, not living with my parents at all. I have a separate civic address. It's 11A instead of 11. So, it's an apartment address. And there's no common doors inside my place leading to their place. I have to go out my door, walk around the house, and go in a different door to get to their place. So, no, I don't live with my parents. I rent the apartment that they have available in their house. Anyone could rent it. Family, not family. It just so happens that I'm family. So, it gives me the opportunity to help my parents when they need help with it, right? I mean, they're getting older. And, you know, things like taking out the trash, you know, tidying up, doing laundry. You know, getting stuff out of the car, groceries and things like that. They're not up for that anymore. So, I gladly can help out with that type of stuff, you know. And, certainly is what it is. But, my point is that they provide the internet with my rent. So, I try not to bitch about it when it gets glitchy, but I like to remind them that, hey, we can probably get this fixed quicker if we call tech support. And, because at that point, let me reset. At that point, I've already done ping tests, speed tests. I've been monitoring the modem, taking screenshots when it loses internet so I can have exact times when it happens. So, you know, they can go back through their logs when they get here and say, okay, well, at this time, this is what was happening. You know, some people would just be like, oh, well, sometime on Friday night, the internet was screwing up. Okay, what time? Well, I don't know. Well, I can't check my logs for a time if you don't know. So, I try to keep, you know, screenshots. That'll give me the times of a speed test when it was low or times when the internet completely cut out for a couple seconds. I got a screenshot showing me the time of that event. So, like, when the technicians come here, I'm very prepared. And half the time, they don't even know what I'm talking about. So, you know, the training level that these guys get is a lot lower than the training level that I got when it comes to technology and TCPIP networking. That was one of my specialties when I was in school was TCPIP networking. And, well, Novell, too, but you know where that went. Maybe Novell was a little before your time. Josh, I don't know if you're certified in CNA or not, but I am. It's not far good it does at this day and age, but it is what it is. Some of the things still apply to that Oracle software you guys use. Back over to you, Josh, for the O&U, Casey. V01, KJ5, IRQ. Lots of packs there. But yeah, I'm in agreement with you. I mean, you live in a totally different apartment. It'd be no different than your mom and dad lived in a big apartment building and you happened to be next door or a couple of doors down. It's your own place. They don't walk right into your place and you pay your own bills. On top of that, I would also say who cares what other people think? They're not paying your bills or anything. I really don't care what most people think of me. That's a good thing and a bad thing, by the way. Not caring what people think of me gives me the freedom to act as odd or as unique as I am. But it also limits opportunities, I would say, sometimes. At least I think so. But yeah, I get you totally, totally, totally. And yeah, the IP thing, man, it all depends on the delivery. I believe that you said you have fiber. I'm not sure. I mean, I'd like you to take out fiber if it hit a box or something, you know, like the B locks. I'd be more inclined to say that something else ripped apart if it's fiber. The glasses got shredded and they had to sit there and slice and that takes a while. But I'm also like you. I mean, if my internet's not backed enough, the first thing I do is I go to my on-the-scene Raspberry Pi that I have. I also know I have a script on there that I can activate that automatically starts logging my Peeings, logs my speeds, and it just keeps me in log. And it will test every five minutes until I stop it. And so that's what I do is I start that immediately, the script, I let it log into a text file, and then I, if the people who show up come around to use it, I email it to their supervisor. And usually my stuff gets fixed really quickly. And this isn't even through my company that I work for. I use a different company for internet because my company doesn't have fiber at my house just yet. However, they are digging holes this week across the street to run the fiber for that side of the street. So it's getting ever closer. Okay, okay. Well, with General's intuition, that brings us to the technical bottom of this list. We're going to move back up to the top of the list and go to RonPA4HO. And we're going to tack on to this question. My nets will usually have a theme, by the way. Today's theme is cow-bung-a-net. Headers usually have an overarching theme. And so if you do any XG reads and crushings or anything, it's going to be themed towards that. That way it's tied to all of the lights in a bowl. With that, the follow-up question is... Maybe if I can find it. There it is. If you had a magic button, and it could improve one part of your ham radio life, a magic button, that would improve..."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T06:00:51+00:00","id":15183,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15182,"text":" you"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T06:29:19+00:00","id":15184,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15183,"text":" We lost you Josh. I think I signed out there. I am pretty sure I signed out there. Anyhow I'm back. The second bonus question is if you had a magic button to improve one part of your hand radio life what would it be? That magic button is AI. So don't think about the AI part but just think about it. If I could easily do something to improve my hand radio life what would it be? Let's talk about it if you don't mind together and see if there's something that AI could possibly do for you. With that I'm sending it up to AA4H01 in Marymoor Florida to mic his voice. Okay I remember the old saying about buttons you know that you're not sure what they'll do if you push them. Like watch this famous last words or I wonder what this would do. These are the famous last words. There's a whole list of them. You can look them up on Google. I'm looking at a button right now and I don't know if it should be pushed or not. This wasn't from AI this was something that I saw what I could do with this all-star bridge that's un-broadcasted by. That button if I pushed it you know I like posted on X. I don't know how it would work if all of a sudden there were 50 people listening that never heard of this before. Since my account exploded and I posted this a lot of people would see it and they could listen. I would put on there like a round table net of amateur radio operators covering wide range topics. On everyday between such and such feedback welcome in my messages. That I don't know if it would be a good idea and I wouldn't do that unless I think I'd let somebody else do it. I've had AI do coding for me. I was trying to get a video off X to send to somebody. There's videos on there sometimes that I thought would be nice to post on Discord or something. I thought everybody would be interested in it seeing. AI is a breakthrough technology. I don't want to get too far off topic here but it's a leader and it's helping a lot of industries. People that are investors look for breakthrough technologies that companies have because they end up posting higher earnings and sales. It's helping the economy. With that I pushed out to improve my air radio life. I don't know if you can do something. Should you do it? Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do something. That's all I had to say about that. I was interested in this broadcast. Whoever set it up I think it's a good idea. I think it could be promoted. That's not up to me and I wouldn't do it. I'd let somebody else who is in the management. I'm just a user here. Connecting all store notes and broadcast to one-way audio streams. Basically anybody in the world gets to hear it. I'll let Gray speak to that since I know that's in his website. The broadcast filing does work. In fact Gabby made a wonderful one-click button that will allow anybody to connect to it. You can share that I believe easily. You may not need to connect your notes to broadcast to five unless you're trying to connect your specific note rather than the count, bungalow, or the do drop in. It sounded like he was talking about camera and do drop in. In plain English you're just going to run an audio capture app on the computer and it's going to feed it into your broadcast file through a source client like IceCast and Shellcast. I actually know a lot about broadcast file and IceCast and Shellcast years ago. I was really digging into that video and stuff. The entire setup is really cool. Anyhow, it's not that hard to do. So don't be scared to do it if you're going to do your own notes. With that I will pass it over to KC2PKG and let him talk a little bit more about the broadcast file on the dodropin.info website. KC2PKG.com. They do a great job because they like to do a great job. I will say though, there were some comments that people were making about the individuals. It's a very mixed group of individuals and stuff like that. Air radio can be a very unfriendly place and I think we work hard to be welcoming and be friendly. That's important. That brings me onto my next topic which is a team sport. It's all the efforts of everybody on the cow-bung-a-net is what makes it what it is today. We had an issue, and I'll talk about it because we're allowed to, where somebody was getting bullied. It had gone on and gone on and gone on. I had no idea it was going on. It was happening at times when I'm not connected in the pre-net, on the sunday-net. Things like that. Just little snide comments. Things like this. But finally, the person just didn't want to hear it anymore. And they backed out of the net completely. And both sides backed out of the net because I haven't heard from the other one. The supposed perpetrator. I haven't heard from him since Monday, I don't think. So that's a disaster. These are both net controllers. We need net controllers. We need good ones who can draw people out and all that stuff. But I'll get onto your question there, Josh. While you were talking about that, I would love a button that looks up what somebody just said. I would love that. If somebody says something, whether you think it's true or false or whatever, but you hit the button and it goes, this is the skinny on what they just said. I would love that. That would be fantastic. But it made me think. I said, well, an AI could be net control. Couldn't it? I bet it could. I don't know how you would train it or go about doing it. But an AI net control. That would have been pretty wild. I think how easy it would be to set up nets. If you had an AI, that could be a net control. So with that thought, I put that in your thought, in your thinker. So the other thing about team effort, let me drop it for a second. All right. KC2PKG returning very, very briefly. It is a team effort. We all want to hear about anything untoward that's going on. If somebody is being rude, if they are biting back too hard, if they're bullying, that needs to be raised up. Don't be polite about that. This is one of the things that just should not happen on this net at all. It's one of our strengths. So not like anybody's going to get fired or banned or anything like that, but people need to know. And I wish I had known that this was kind of going on and it was serious. Serious enough to make somebody leave. So with that, I can pass it back to you. KK5IRQ, this is KC2PKG. KC2PKG, KJ5IRQ. That's the one thing about a cowabunga that I can say is we can talk about the hard things. And you're absolutely right, it's a disaster. Both are hamburger operators. Both are net controllers for this net. And I would like to think it's probably a misunderstanding that got way out of line. That's typically how these things happen. Again, adults at the table need to be able to sit down and talk it out. It takes a long while. It's been enough for both of you. It's not your interacting. So I appreciate you bringing that out to the forefront. I have got to do something else with my phone. I keep touching the first talk button and it turns me off. As I was saying though, those are the things that make this net great. We can talk about the things that hurt us. And as we should. People don't. I tell my wife all the time, if you don't communicate and tell me what I do to make you mad, how can I fix it? And I know I make her mad. She's done things and I don't like making her mad. So Bill has asked to join our team, our chat today, and I am going to join him right behind me. Because there's nobody in mind. Because he has not had a chance to talk today and it's been a while for me to talk to. And well, he's got to pay the bills. And to be honest, I don't want to make a break. So hopefully we'll have to teach who's next. And, uh, Greg, the AI Net Controller has been an idea in my head and on my chat for about two weeks now. I have an entire project dedicated to figuring out how to make something like that happen. I'm also with a valid concern about the FCC regulations that we need to look into to make sure that you can do something like that. I'm actually looking at it more towards the line of ADA assistance. Blind guys and girls could use AI to be the Net Controller and they can speak to it and have it control what they need it to control so they don't have to sit and touch it. Um, that's what I was thinking. But having it completely run in that, that's an idea. We should look at that together and that could be a lot of fun. Uh, great. Use purpose for Discord. You can set up a project in there and work on it together with other people. Okay. Well, we are going to move on to Visti KN4 LBF. It's a little after eight and I know she's using these around the eight, so I was trying to curve and get her in there to hope I didn't miss her. Uh, Visti, the mic is yours. This is Kay. Excuse me. This is Kay and 4LBF. This is Dee. I hope you can hear me. Um, I had to switch over to my cell because, um, my internet is down, which has been happening quite often this week. I think it's happening to everyone, which it really concerns me. Um, the magic button. So, um, like right now, when I went, when my, when my internet went down, I had to go into my cell phone and I had it in direct and I had to change it to relay. So I went like a button that when something happens on the phone that, that it doesn't, I would just press the button and it would just change the setting to accommodate to the correct way where I don't have to figure it out. Is that a lazy brain or what? That is a lazy brain. Anyway, but my concern is AI is great, but it needs a source. It needs WiFi, internet, it needs something. You could get it in a computer, I mean without a source, but, um, it works best with a source. Um, just like Alexa. Oh, she turned on. Oh, she's off. She's turning red when I, she's saying she's having trouble understanding. Anyway, um, but my concern is what we briefly discussed yesterday. Gray knows what I'm talking about. I think it's going to happen sooner than later. And, um, you know, that's just what I'm thinking about. But yeah, a button that will fix everything and, you know, to when something like that happens and you have to go in and figure out the settings and all that. Anyway, back to you, Josh. This is K and 4 LBS. And this week, um, I'm on, I'm on because I have to stay home for another week. And I do want to apologize about talking about my cat. Sorry, I didn't even think about it. Anyway, back to you, Josh. This is K and 4 LBS. Hello, this is Steve. Don't let my old jazz talk about cats. You'll make their old gray, both very unhappy, blind cats a lot. And, um, man, I just lost my mirror. I was about to say something and it disappeared. I hate it when it does that. Easy button. You're easy button. I, that is a beta my existence with that going. I never know if I'm able to connect through a proxy or through a relay. I don't do direct very much yet, but I usually keep with proxy or relay. And I've learned that if I keep a device connected via relay to the Echo Link conference, which I have an iPhone that I don't use. It's just an iPhone. There's no Wi-Fi. Now all I can get is Wi-Fi. And I usually keep that connected to my All Store Note. Um, and so I've realized that a couple of days, I keep that connected to Echo Link. But then I always have an access to the relay, which I think for some reason in my mind will expand it into proxy. I really don't understand it. I could utilize the magic button just to add to understand it better. But my focus is more on the All Store side rather than the Echo Link side. So I'm only calling it one of these most of the time because it's so dependable. Um, with that, we're going to turn the mic over to Leo. Leo, we've had a couple of questions other day. Well, we had one question other day and a cack on. Um, you being the owner, if you will, of the G-Drop In network and a big part of the cow's looking at what? I'm going to address the question a little bit for you, if you see. What do you get out of providing this net for everybody? And if people don't know this, the bill provides this net for everybody. He pays the bills. Um, there has been some talk about what we can do to help offset that if he's interested. Um, of course we don't force anything on the bill because he pays the bills. Um, and so the question of the day was what brings you to the cow bug in that whether it's every day or every couple of weeks, every couple of months, what brings you to the cow bug in that and why? And then the follow up question is if you have that magic button, I'm using my magic button, what would you use the fork to enhance your ham radio eye? So with that, I'll turn it over to you. Bill, this is KJ Time. I'll let you know. The mic is yours. Well, that's a lot of, that's a lot to hit a guy so early in the morning. Um, yeah, just, uh, well, I woke up, uh, I, I set my alarm for about, uh, 15 minutes after the net started because it's early in the morning here. My wife and I stayed up, we watched, uh, summer monsters with Bell Gibson and we watched, um, uh, first episode of Wednesday and actually they have four. So, uh, I imagine we're going to be watching, uh, another one tonight. Um, so that was a nice night, uh, somewhat relaxing, uh, watching the movies of my life. And, uh, now we're at the yard, uh, put the truck in the shop yesterday and I gotta go see if they fixed it or, uh, if it's still waiting to be fixed. Um, but that's, uh, what's going on here. I did talk to my mom. My mom took a fall earlier this week, uh, on Sunday. Uh, she took a fall, knocked out her tooth, uh, fractured both sides of her, uh, one of the bones in her arm. So she's at a friend's house for a couple of weeks, uh, getting taken care of, uh, stealing some good drugs, I'll tell you that. Uh, but, uh, because of the short time that I'm home, on my end of the student, she passed, uh, so that was good. Uh, so she's trying to get on the Walmart account, uh, so I might be seeing her up there. Hopefully she's home. Hopefully they got her a truck and she went home. Um, but we went out, we tried, uh, this Hawaiian place. My wife, uh, my wife, you know, she sent me this picture, she goes all up to this table. We went down to, uh, American furniture warehouse and, uh, just doesn't count like a side table. And she looked at it and, you know, uh, we ended up buying it. We brought it home. It's one of these ones you got to put together. This is Peter's Station, Loke 7, November, Quebec, November, All Star, Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Uh, hopefully, because I don't, uh, sorry, I almost got run over by a truck. So he's, he taught me to go ahead. Uh, sorry about that. Alright, uh, let me go ahead and grab one so I can, uh, answer at least one of the questions, into the questions, um, before I time out. Alright, well, I'm one of those ones that have been out here on the New Jump In forever. Uh, I was back when, uh, Don, uh, KBRAD, uh, was, uh, head of the Breakfast Club net. And, uh, you know, as a truck driver, you know, it was hard getting connected with repeaters and, and doing stuff while I was driving. And, uh, when I came across the Do Drop In, I found out I could do it on my phone. Uh, it was, it was, uh, my Godson just gave me an opportunity to get out there and communicate with other hams, uh, from all over the world. Uh, and, uh, talk to them and, uh, this was real easy, you know, with a headset and a, uh, a phone. So I really, uh, enjoyed just coming out here and, and, and making friends. And I've been able to, uh, also, uh, stop and see some of these people while I was out over the road. Not as much anymore with this dedicated account. It's just a great place to, uh, come out and hang out because being an over-road truck driver, you don't get the opportunity to, uh, make a lot of friends. Uh, I mean, I've made, I've made some friends with, from students over the years. Um, but, you know, I'm only home, you know, two days a month, maybe four days a month. Um, so there's, and, uh, you know, work is always changing, especially when I was over the road, uh, with a dedicated account. You know, I've made some friends up there in Korean, but it's just, uh, uh, these are where my friends are. So, uh, you know, over the years with the different, uh, things that have happened, I've been able to, uh, uh, give back, hopefully a little bit to what I've gotten out of the group. And I'm, uh, happy to, uh, keep everything going here. Uh, because, uh, I know it's, uh, a, a place for, uh, some other people to, uh, come out and, uh, be with their friends. So, that's, uh, kind of what I get out of it. Uh, I get, I get my, my friends and I get, uh, well, more like family now. Um, and I get the opportunity to, uh, uh, communicate and be part of, part of, uh, uh, the community. But, over here at the shop, I gotta go find out. There's no place my truck's been moved, so, uh, I'm gonna go talk to them real quick. But go ahead and keep me on the list. Uh, I shall be here."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T06:31:06+00:00","id":15185,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15184,"text":" Well, good morning again, KN6UYZ.

Some of the best discussions I have experienced on here haven't necessarily started with the net operator. It is what somebody else talks about. And so, in that ideology, I'm hoping that's what happens with the final couple of rounds every Friday morning with me.

If you're there, buddy, the mic is yours. My policy is Josh, I wasn't paying attention. I was looking at this code stuff. I saw a guy do it yesterday, and he said to have it run on your phone once it's finished coding, tell it to develop an app that can run on Canvas. I'm guessing Canvas means your device, your phone, your tablet or whatever. So that's the code that spit out. But I don't know how to run it. And it spit out the second half, which contains additional levels apparently. So I'm not sure, man, but that's what I've been paying attention to here. And my brain is starting to hurt. Coding is not for me. It really isn't. But you can pretty much ask this freaking GPD thing to do anything. It will make an attempt. But I noticed that a documentary I watched yesterday, it's 2025. One has covered Grok and it covered Gemini and Perplexity and a few others. And it was talking about modern AI and the things that it can do. And I didn't realize you could use it to write Home Assistant scripts. Fascinating stuff. You know, you can have it do certain things. You can have it write scripts for just about anything. Websites, I mean, generate the code, upload it. There you go. It's a pretty cool realm we live in. Josh, for sure. And I don't know if you got a chance to look up those headphones that I got the other day after. But man, I tell you, I'm loving these things. I used them again yesterday for like another six hours, I suppose, all told. And the four hours from the night before, that's ten hours of battery use. And I'm only at 85%. They claim 60 hours of music playback and gaming. Or they claim 50 hours if you're using the 2.4 GHz dongle instead of Bluetooth. Which, I gotta be honest, I do prefer for zero latency, right? But these things absolutely rock. I mean, they're fantastic. The sound in them is just great. I love them. And they fit right in with the other five sets of different variants of headphones that I've got here. Back over to you, Josh. The one on you, Casey. Yeah, I'm interested in headphones. I cannot, for the life of me, find my Sony's. I've turned off the alert to everybody in my family. Dig in your bedrooms, find my Sony's. I got two headsets, both of which are $290 a piece, that I'll own now. A couple of years ago, through the kids. And I want them back. Because I think they would be perfect for net controlling. I have a headset. It's wired. It's actually a work headset. So the audio should be fairly good. It's the same style of headset that our call center uses. And they use VoIP. Of course, we have a VoIP service at our ISP. So, that being said, I have it plugged into a USB adapter, which goes to USB-C, which I can plug into my phone. It gives me the boom mic, and it gives me the headset. I don't like how it squeezes my ears. But it seems to be working really well for net control days. I don't use it any other day. Just when I'm rolling the net control because I would like to give you all the best audio possible. I should probably apply that principle every day. But I'm not there yet. The coding, man, I just look at my last mouth because I have my also note on my iPhone. And she can hear it. She likes listening to the net now. So I have that in the living room. And she is listening to it. And I'm over here using my phone and echoing to talk to you all. And I looked over here and you said that and she knew I was going to look at her and smile. Because we were doing that yesterday. I am teaching my wife. She has finally fit onto the bug. She is hooked. We have done some pretty cool things in our teenage days. And then, it's those things that I'm super interested in. I'm trying to get very interested. I'm already interested in AI. So, yeah, we are doing some pretty cool things. And she had already told me today that she had an idea that she would like to put together. And see if she can't make some money off of it. And that's what I'm trying to teach my family right now. Learn how to become a pumped engineer. That's what they call them now. That's the job title. Pumped engineer. It's funny if you ask any AI how to become a pumped engineer. They tell you that there's really no set path. There's no schooling for it. They don't have a degree. It's too new. It's done based on experiences. If you can show a potential employer that you can pump to do some amazing things, you're going to be able to find a job. You might be able to work from home. We are looking at a couple of money making side hustle ventures utilizing AI. We're hoping to make them passive money making income streams. I mean, what's better than having passive income? Absolutely nothing. At least when it comes to money. So, Dale, you and I will get together. I'll get a hold of you after the net. We'll talk about that. We may have to jump on a conference call. But I'll show you how to use that. I'm going to go ahead and take a quick break. And then a call for check ins. Okay. Okay. It is 830 Friday, August 8th. And I am in north central Texas. That means it's time to take all check ins one more time before we head to the top of the list and start our 73 rounds. So, if you've enjoyed anything we've talked about today, if you're listening and you decided, hey, I want to join, well, here's your opportunity. If you make this net great anyhow, so if we don't get to hear from you, then that's just not as good as it would have been if you would have called us. So, with that being said, come on, come on. Anybody who has not joined the cow, doesn't it? Come down with your call sign. This is KK7 in the land. 100. All star notes. W0GL. Located in Shelton, Washington. Okay. I'm for TPC. I'll be in and out. I worked last night, so I just woke up and just heard you go on for check ins. So, I was just kind of listening along here. So, I'd get ready to feed my dog and do some breakfast. Y'all take it easy. Thanks, Josh, for taking my call. KM4, QBC73. Whiskey Bravo 9, Charlie Sierra Papa. Whiskey Bravo 9, Chicago, Stuyall, Pete, Richard, Dennis, Texas, short time.

Yeah, this is my fourth time running a net, and I guess I'm going to be a rescuer on Fridays for a while, so thank you. And I will take what you said into consideration. Today we are talking about the cow bung and what you like and why do you join, mainly because I wanted the data for my net. So, perfect timing on what you had to say. We're going to move to WZO GL, who had a comment. The mic is yours. Oh yes, I actually have two comments. One thing, it's International Cat Day, so I know all the cat lovers will like that. The other thing is, I have a kind of a question comment about AI as a control. For one thing, it's going to need a call sign. I don't know how you would do that exactly, use somebody's call sign, or have it halfway as third party, but it would have to have a call sign, it would also have to ID every ten minutes, and at the end of its transmission. You probably thought of that, but I just thought I'd mention it. WZO GL, back to net. WZO GL, I have, I like your call sign, that's why I use it, and tell you your name. WZO GL, it reminds me of the older televisions like, oh there's one in Chicago, I can't remember the call sign now. Anyhow, it just reminds me of those. Yeah, actually, that's one of the things with AI, with ham radio. So, in my mind, and I could be wrong, it's a device, it's a tool, just like the radio is a tool. The operator is control of the radio, the operator would be control of the AI, if the AI messed up it would be a track against the operator. However, I don't know, we'll have to do some research. Thankfully with AI, we don't have to dig through all the mountainous documentations and regulations of the FCC anymore. We can clean up a basket. Hey, I am thinking about using the AI as a net control operator in place of me. Is that legal? And if so, how would it work? And it will give you a rundown. Don't trust it, we're made of them, always double check the sources from anything in AI, it can make a mistake. But, the way I look at AI these days is, it's providing the research that I can provide myself, much faster and much more efficient. Indeed, you mentioned earlier, and I meant to say it back then, but you had mentioned that a lazy brain, because you're eating by night yet, I'm going to say that my dad, my granddad, and I'm sure his daddy before him, probably back to the beginning of time, has always told their children to learn to work smarter, not harder. All we get is to be a lazy race, maybe in some regard, but not in all regards. And so, just because we make it easier for ourselves, doesn't mean we're lazy. Ok, well, now I have Hunter. Hunter, I am sorry, but you did double with WZ or Gio at the beginning, and I caught his call sign, but not yours. I did, however, catch your name. So, Hunter, if you don't mind taking a crack at the mic, and come with your call sign, and I'll get you in the log."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T06:42:57+00:00","id":15193,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15192,"text":" Oh no, I was afraid of that.

And then I talked to that controller and he said everything's okay. So I don't know if it's just me or what, but I just add like a button that I can push when somebody's underwater. I don't have to listen to that for a couple minutes. I would push a button and then mute them. That's it from Santa Mel. PB7PVW, back to net. PB7PVW, that's a good easy button you just put there. I bet there's a way that we could put up some kind of audio filtering in line if you crashed the audio digitally. That would clean that up for you. But then may I remove some of the nostalgia and magic of radio? I don't know, it depends on your views. I'm a Newham radio guy so I would probably do something like that. But if you grew up 50, 60 years of Newham radio you might hear noises like that. It might bring you comfort and memory of a childhood. I get those feelings from time to time on other things. I smell something that will just put me right back to being 8 years old in a certain situation. And sounds can do that too. Okay, that brings us to the bottom of the list. I'm going to ask one more time if anybody else would like to check into the cowabunga net. And then I think we'll start the 73 rounds.

But we got you in and I'm really glad we did. I don't guess I've talked to you before. My name is Josh. I'm KJ5, I'm a kid. I'm pretty new to net controlling. So I'm using this opportunity to learn more about you, the people who are in the net. I don't want to be a net controller if nobody's on there. So, I don't know if you've joined camera in the past or not, but if you have, tell us why you come back and what you like about it. Personally, I've never joined the net before. I've listened for a couple weeks now. I've had a little pet project that I started and built in an all-star node and talking about AI. Working on an AI project with the all-star node, that transcription and stuff. Really the transcription's the base so that I can do stuff with transmissions that it transcribes. And for your question on AI, I actually did get into this. I did talk to somebody at the SEC. Basically how the rule goes with AI is all of your AI responses across the airwaves are your responsibilities. So you cannot legally do live-generated AI responses, but pre-rendered, pre-approved AI responses are perfectly fine because it goes underneath the automated control rule. So basically you take responsibility of what your AI says on the air, hence why it has to be pre-rendered and pre-approved. If anyone wants to play with some stuff, though, if you look up my call sign, KK7NQN, and put a dotnet at the end, there's a transcriber that is actively transcribing the set right now. This has a little tab you can go to, look at all the transcripts, that might help you with the net control, catch screen, call signs and stuff. And there is a development API to that too, video slash API. It gives you the database in an API JSON format that you can use in your own code. This is also open-source on GitHub, so you can pull my source code and make your own copy of it. And it's a free and free API, so you can just go have fun with it. That's been my pet project for the last three or four weeks now, and it's been fun. I'm learning the code, I'm learning to work with the AI, and it's been really, really fun. And hearing you guys talk about AI, it's just going to make me excited, but you guys run so early in the morning it's kind of hard for me to catch the net. Okay. Kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. You and I need to get together and talk, buddy. And I, I don't know what you want to call me at these days. I use AI for work, I use API scripting and coding, and I'm not great at it by trade. I am a NetSuite administrator, an old NetSuite administrator, so I have a little bit of coding experience anyhow because of that and growing up playing with computers. But yes, like you, for the last few months I have been getting very deep into coding with Python and JavaScript and using JSON scripts and using APIs and Red Hooks, and I've built a couple of little Discord bots that poll certain things. And yes, I have some plans. One of my big plans I would like to get off the ground is to build a net control dashboard that integrates with All-Star and Echo Link. One of the big things about it is we have two systems that everybody uses and they may verge, but there's not a central cap for them, there's not a central list of radios or nodes that are connected. As a net controller right now, I mean, you have to use two or three different devices to monitor it all as a net controller unless somebody else has a better way. I don't use Apple, I'm a Linux gearhead, and I use Windows for work. I do use Apple products for their hardware, but not so much for the software. And so, yeah, maybe we could spend hours or days talking about AI. So if you have found the right net, hey, where are you from exactly? You said it's early for you, it's apparently early for me too. So where do you hail from? I'm going to send it back to you, KJ5, I hope you're... Yeah, I'm from Washington, Shelton, Washington. So right now it's 6.50 a.m. in the morning, you guys start to think like 4 a.m. my time or something. But I get to catch a little bit of a net as I leave to work. And sometimes at the shop I can pick it up, but at the shop I'm like 35 miles from my All-Star node, and my max range on the All-Star node is about 20 miles. So, yeah. Anyways, back to you. This is Repeater Station, Washington State. You are two hours sooner than me, I thought it was bad for me to get up. Yeah, that does make it tough. I have no fear that the drop-in network also has other nets throughout the day. So go to gdropin.info and you can see what else they offer. There has been some talk among some people about maybe an evening net, even if it's one day a week, to catch the people like you and me. I'm sure there are others who don't get on the morning net because of the time. There has been some talk about that, maybe we should pick that back up. But Hunter, man, I'm glad you joined us or the cab longer than that. Join as often as you can. You can find the MQ as that with our call sign. I do have a website, not really the follow-up to anything I just put up to this by the placeholder, kj5irq.radio. By the way, if you don't know this for anybody who wants a website with their call sign, because you are an amateur radio operator in the United States, I can't say for anybody else, but in the United States, and I'm sure it's this way globally, but if you're an amateur radio operator, you qualify to get a Dart Radio designator, like Dartcom or DartNet or whatever, except it's Dart Radio. You probably see them the most when you listen to FM radio on the internet. You may have something like KYX, Dart Radio, and they pay a lot of money for that handle. A lot of money. However, as a radio operator, you can get it for $25 a year. Pretty cool, huh? One of those weird nerdy things that I figured out right after I got my hand call sign. So now I have a website, I have a domain, I have lots of places. I have branded myself, and I ain't making a dang penny off of it. Anyhow, you might find that interesting. I just thought I'd tell you about the Dart Radio handle. Man, that is going to bring us to the bottom of this list, and we are going to start 73 rounds. It has been a fantastic net, in my opinion. I've had a lot of fun. I hope you all have too. Let's use the 73 rounds to say goodbye, but also tell me if you'd like. Don't worry about having enough feelings. I take criticism very well. Tell me what you would like for me to do different or give me some kind of thing I can do better in the future. I really would appreciate that. So with that, let's head up to the top. 884 HO.

I liked talking about why I... It keeps bringing me back to this net. I've brought that out. I've talked about it lots of times before. I'm working on this device with a sticker motor in it. And I deployed key this morning. And it's the motor that came. It's one size too large. So now I'm going to have to order a third motor. And I'm trying to find the numbers. The problem to begin with is the motor I pulled out, the label was torn off the back. Or they didn't include the label on the back of the motor so I didn't know what number it was. So now I've ordered one too small and I've ordered one too large. So maybe third time will be a charge. They're not really that expensive. I'm not even going to return them. I may find what happened with the smaller one and the larger one is just clicking and heating up and it's not turning. Besides the connector plugging into the main gork was too big. So I cut the connector off the old one. The wire colors were the same and I plugged it in. Maybe the colors were different. I don't think so. I don't think that's the problem. But it still needs to be smaller so I'm trying to find out. I'm getting this 28BYJ-48 size and AEI is assisting me with finding the number for the one that's smaller. I got a read over this. It just came up. I don't think anybody realized last time I was on here about that broadcast, the five button. If I post that on my ex-account, I don't know how everybody would feel about 50 people listening in via Broadcastify. Because that's what the result would be. Non-amps listening to what we say in a morning that I posted that on. That was what I was trying to say. What I could do with this Broadcastify. We could get listeners right. And as I said, just because you can do something doesn't mean you shouldn't. Alright, AA-4-H-O, Rod Muir-Maflorn. Everybody have a nice weekend. I'll be here tomorrow. Back to Josh Connect Control, AA-4-H-O, Muir-Maflorn. AA-4-H-O, AJ-5, IRQ. Yeah, I've been really worried so much about people wanting to be on Broadcastify. First off, they're on public airways. We all are. So that right there indicates any sense of privacy I think anybody would expect with M-Radio. So I would not let that be the reason why I wouldn't do it. I would not let that factor in my decision making at all. We're all on public airways. Secondly, we're already being Broadcastified on the internet. Go to D-Drop-In.info, click on Gabby's awesome little button, and you can listen to it. Anybody can. I've seen it through friends and family already. So I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to accomplish here. But yeah, I wouldn't let people stop you from doing it because you're not sure they want to be heard over the airways. They're already being heard over the airways. But why not? I appreciate you. I hope you have a great Friday. We'll talk to you again tomorrow if everything aligns. We're going to move down to the gray KC-2, PK-2. I'm sure you'll probably get the bit to talk to us. Let me let Mike enjoy us. AJ-5, IRQ. I was never described more perfectly. First things first, you're doing a great job. This is a great net. You're going to be great at this. There's no doubt in my mind. You're just going to keep refining it until it gets better and better and better. So good for you. If you haven't gone to kk7nqn.net, you should. That tool is amazing. I was just reading through the transcription of our whole net. My mind is exploding. It's very, very cool. Also, at the same time, because I'm always doing 12 things when I should really only be doing one. I was talking to Gabby. Actually, she's on Discord. And she was saying, what if we put together a Cowabunga family page? Would people like to submit a picture and a blurb about themselves? And this isn't just we have it for net controls and stuff like that, but we don't have it for regular users. People who are putting in the time and are here every day would get on that in that sort of family section. So I'd like to hear from you guys. And Josh, you reinforced this. Do you think that's a good idea? Would you cooperate with that? Yes, Josh, I still need a picture of you. And also George. He may be listening. I actually think I might have a picture of George. But I'd rather use the one that you picked. So there you go. Anyway, guys, this all is a privilege and a pleasure. Thanks so much for doing the net, Josh. It really helps out. And think about that question. You want to be part of the Cowabunga family? Have your own page. Come on. Alright, 73, you guys have a great Friday and we'll be talking to you tomorrow. This is KC2PKG. This is KC2PKG. Thank you for the kind words, first and foremost. I appreciate them and your encouragement. Something I have learned about you is you are great at encouraging people and I appreciate you for that. I'm trying to make sure I tell people why I appreciate them. I don't know why. It just popped in my head to do so. So I'm learning that problem really for the day. Yes, I agree with you wholeheartedly. Hunter, man, if you're still listening, kk7nqn.net. I didn't know what I needed to do with my website. I mean, I've had some ideas of maybe writing or something. But I think you just kind of gave me the inspiration. I like your dashboard setup. I have also thought about doing something similar to that, maybe including ham, clock or ham dashboards. I don't know if you're familiar with them. Anybody on this net. You can find them on GitHub. Ham clock is a pretty cool HF ham radio software that you can put on and you can make a red server out of it and just look at it whenever you need to. I actually have it, I think, up on my, you know, hop a look to see if I still have it on my server or not. If not, I can easily throw it on there and show you all. I don't do HF, so it's not all that cool for me at the moment. But you can do HF. You may really like it. But yeah, man, this is awesome. So kudos to you. I was going to do some more about it when we get back down to you. You're right. Thanks for making me stop and type in kk7nqn.net. I had written it down. But you know how my work day is. I would have probably forgotten all about it. And it's not forgotten now. Moving on to D if she's still with us. KN4LDF, I think she is because she said she's working, she's at home for the week. Which is great for us because we get more time to get here and talk to us. 73 rounds, D. The mic is yours. This is KN4LDF. This is D. Wow, so much information. Now I am not into coding or anything like that. I'm a simple person. My brother on the other hand, we will call him a geek. He had a store in New York City and his business was booming before he passed away. And I did a little thing here and there. My interest was not in that. I did some things, but I was thinking pie and all this stuff that had to work my brain out. It was just too much for me. I just didn't want to do it. And then, you know, but it's for one, you know, everybody is individual. So I do like hearing about it though. Don't get me wrong. I just love it. You know, so, you know, I'm amazed because I always look at the page of do drop. And the long dedication of these people is just amazing. Like when Paul died, Bill took over. And you're talking about 16 years of just dedication of people trying to get together. And we had a discussion a couple of weeks ago about how people once or twice try to destroy, you know, you know, angry people, you know, and how you guys went through the bumps in the road and everything. And, you know, I really hope that you guys continue this. You know, it's very great to get a group of people. I mean, that's how scientists work. Scientists work the same way. They don't think about their skin or anything. They all get together and they try to figure it out and have opinions and share opinions and be respectful. You know, because if not, we wouldn't have, you know, up in the ship. And I forgot the name of that ship where our astronauts are in. I mean, you know, sometimes my mind don't work. Anyway, I want to thank 73s. I appreciate your time. And back to you, John. This is KN4LBS. Thank you for the 73s. And I always enjoy listening to you talk. I heard tell that you may be looking to try out net control. I'm looking forward to that. I think you would be pretty good at it. So with that, I say happy Friday to you. And we are going to move down my list. I'm moving my favorite page because we've had some people check in and check out. And we are down to Kilo Echo 2 calling Sierra Tango. I have him locked out. But he didn't necessarily say he was getting help so maybe he's back with us. So I want to try Pete from Upstate New York. Kilo Echo 2 calling Sierra Tango. Are you sure?

No worries, no worries. I figured you'd just put me back at the bottom of the list. You got me in there because I hadn't been in there, but I figured I'd be back at the bottom of the list. So I was just waiting my turn. I'm in my truck. Um, I got the, uh, um, I bought my, uh, not molestion suit before last. He had a bottle of detergent or soap or something in it. It spilled out and soaked through the, uh, sheet and into my mattress toppers. So I had bought a replacement mattress topper. And last time I was home, I was in such a hurry to get the truck and get going that I, uh, took the old mattress topper out, put the new mattress topper in, uh, on the bottom bunk. And the bottom bunk was fine. I mean, I was thinking about getting a new mattress topper for the bottom bunk because it's getting older, um, uh, the one that I had gotten was supposed to be for the, uh, the top bunk. And so I bought, and it really, you know, it wasn't working out well for the bottom bunk. Um, even though it was the right size and everything, it just, uh, kept sliding around. So I went back and bought the same one that was on the bottom before. Uh, I put that in there. The top mattress is a little more, is narrower by about 3 or 4 inches than the bottom bunk. So I had to, uh, cut it along the length of the, uh, the side, uh, which is not an easy task, uh, especially when it's 3 inches thick. Uh, and it is just foam. And I found using scissors is easier than doing it another way, uh, with like a razor blade or something, um, especially when I don't have a really sharp razor blade in my truck right now. Uh, but, uh, so I got that cut up, and I'm getting the mattress topper, uh, situation taken care of so that when we go out tomorrow, it's already done. And, uh, we don't have to do that. And my student, uh, she'll be graduating today from her top-end class. So I'm gonna go over there and, uh, introduce myself. Say hello. Say hello, Mark. Mark Kincaid is the, uh, this is my teacher. I'm sorry. Mark Kincaid is the, uh, director over there for the Top Ten Academy. They tried to get me to come in there and do it, and I just told them I couldn't afford the pay cut. So, uh, but it was only, uh, do you want to, you know, take the opportunity to maybe do this? Uh, but they ended up with Mark, and I think they ended up with the right choice there. But, uh, you know, he's retiring next year. I'm sorry, Grandma. He's retiring next year, so they may be after me again to, uh, see if I want to do it. But for now, I'm just gonna stay over the road. That's what I like. And, uh, the opportunity is still there that I might get back out and, uh, be able to visit some of my friends out there over the road. But, uh, with that, uh, good job, Josh. Uh, I think Dee is doing the net on Sunday, if I'm not mistaken. Uh, if you're not Dee, I apologize for, uh, putting that out there, but I think Dee is doing it on Sunday, so I'm looking forward to that. And, uh, uh, you know, good, good, good job, Josh. I think I just said that, uh, twice, but it's worth repeating. And, uh, we'll catch everybody out here tomorrow morning with KM1X, uh, as he takes us through, uh, the start of our weekend. Uh, so, N9-OFU, back over to, uh, uh, Josh there. Uh, uh, KI5, uh, having a brain freeze. Okay, back over to you, Josh. N9-OFU, I appreciate you this morning. I, I, I liked your attacks throughout the day, by the way. I don't know if I've told you that. You and Dale and Gray, a few other ones who, who have started attacking me. Um, I don't interact with a lot of people, outside of the Fed or my family. I'm kind of weird like that. Other than working, I interact with the law people I work with. But, um, not on like a personal level. I keep myself pretty dang small. And I'll be honest with you, y'all, uh, y'all crack me up throughout the day. So, um, don't feel like you ever send me too much. I don't care if it's the middle of the night. If I don't want to answer it, I don't answer it. Uh, my phone doesn't dictate me. I dictate you it, uh, other than working hours. Uh, so thank you for those things. Uh, you and Dale both. Um, and Gray, Gray, Gray, you know, he takes back and forth sometimes. And I, I really enjoy his insights. All right, well, that's going to bring us to close to the bottom of the nest. We're, we're going to go back to, uh, to Hunter. Kilo B-07. Oh, I'm sorry, no we're not. Hold your horses. Kilo B-07. Papa Victor Rifki. Mel, my handwriting is so atrocious, I almost didn't see your call sign on my list. Uh, it's the reason he met us, Mel.

He can always chime in if he's not doing it wrong. But they are already in the middle of their net, so wait for them to call for check-ins if you don't mind. We don't want to buffalo them over and make them mad. So they'll call for check-ins, that biggest net to check-in, and join them. Say hello. I have been trying to make an effort to do that at least a couple times a week. So you never know. I may be on there. I know Dale gets on there just about every day.

Yeah, I always enjoyed that clam chowder. But I guess I was trying to get in that oysters too there, because, but with a little heat, I had some and she was allergic to it, I guess. So she doesn't make oysters too anymore. Something else. Anyway, it's a national cat day, I guess. If you've got a kitty, maybe you give it a special treat or a scratch today. I don't know if there's a national dog day or not. I'd ask a left about that. There's also a giant, a gigantic festival out in North Plains, which is about, I don't know, 30, 40 miles west of 409, 26 heading for Seaside, which is, of course, where we have our seat back convention.

Yeah, I'm with you there, Mel. The last time I went to visit Florence was 50 years ago. You may not have had a Mose there back then. Yeah, I just vaguely remember the dunes.

Well alrighty then Dale, hey, good to hear your voice my friend, and uh, yeah, looking forward to training, training the barbers we see you throughout the day as we traverse the nets together, how about that.

Yeah, you know, like I have often been heard to say, if you're a musician and you've never been fired, or you do nets and you've never started your net on the wrong repeater or something like that, you might be kind of a newbie. So I've done all those things that you may need other things to even begin to mention. So especially when you do a net at 7 o'clock, you're gonna be worried. Yeah, anyway, well, say 7-3 to Missy. Yeah, you have an awesome game, my friend. And with that, let's go see what's up with Papi, up there in Dogpatch, Elmer, yeah, what's the name of that place? I'll remember it, yeah. Anyway, NS7LHV, the mic is yours. Well, a little bit west of Elmer now, Auburn being closer to Oakland and Cosmopolis, where Joe down in Arizona was that resident of. So, yeah, kind of reminds all those things that can happen that, oh, I didn't do it, but can you help me out? I'd loan my camera to a friend and that the film is stuck. It won't rewind. Yeah, right. Dummy, don't crank it so hard next time. Won't have to take it in the dark room and fix it for you. At least admit that you did it. I mean, I know I did. Or, I'll be right back. Or, the classic one back in the day, you know, taking pictures, you know, great deal of salmon going up river down here in Shelton and put them away, quick, quick, quick, salmon. I said, wait a minute, I loaned my own film, why am I going past 36 frames? Huh, come to find out? No film when I got home. Oh, well. But those are things that I didn't know I could attack. You know, yes, you did. Admit it. You know, we both have been there. So, oh, well. Yeah, I just got to go see the ticker doctor today and see what he says, make sure everything's okay and so forth. So, you know, a little bit. So I got to be halfway awake. Anywho. I almost got away. I know Rob was driving. Thank goodness if I'm the micro-band wipes, if I sprayed now, he'd probably get it all over his windshield and wouldn't be able to see. So, he's got to be halfway awake. So here's the micro-band wipe. E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E-E. N-E. There you go. Now the microphone is 99.97, germ free for the X-24. And Robert didn't bug you at all, I'll bet. So have a good one and say hello to Kathy too, Robert. Anyway, that's what I'm going to do today. So back to M7R83, back to net. Oh, very cool. Yeah, I was kind of chuckling when you were talking about that. Yes, been there, done that. One time on an astronomy camp out 50-some years ago and I and a couple of other young teenagers had our cameras that were kind of right here, you know, on this guy's mount. He was a good mentor to all of us. Anyway, we were out in this dark sky, shined up by Mel's hood and imaged all sorts of stuff that night. I was pretty excited, couldn't wait to get back to my dark room and process it, you know, because it's film back in those days. And the film had never actually caught. And I advanced the camera, but yeah, nothing was happening. I should advise disappointment. All right, these things happen. Hey, we had fun camping, you know. K-E-8, R-E-R, you're up next. Larry, the mic is yours. Good morning, Roy and everybody on the net. I still don't have the audio I need right now, but I don't know if it's doing okay. Hopefully you can hear me. I can't use my plug-in gaming earphones. It doesn't seem to be working right at all right now. So anyway, I thought I'd try to check in here. Sun's shining, 77.5 degrees, 83% humidity. And yesterday I did some more pressure washing and finished the end of my driveway and got it cleaned up. Looks much, much better. So I got a concrete driveway anyway. It's two and a half cars wide, so it takes a while. I was beat by the time I got done with that. So anyway, I got to go out there and check my garden today before it gets too hot out there and see how many tomatoes I got. Anyway, I'm going to turn it back over to you, Roy, and everybody on the net. Have a great day. Hey, very cool. Yeah, it's time for those tomatoes to start turning ripe. I haven't grown tomatoes in a long time. You know, tomatoes are just fun to grow. Even if you don't like tomatoes, they're just fun to grow. You get these big... Seriously, they're just fun to grow. So anyway, you have a great day, my friend. And may your tomatoes be big and red and juicy. And what's out here? We've got... Let's see, 73. So now we're going to see what's up with that 0HC cliff. Hey, the mic is yours. Well, good morning, Roy and everybody in 0HC. We got cloudy here, but it's still going to get close to 100 degrees. So I... My pastor, friend and pastor was in the city and said, let's get together and get to lunch and all that stuff, and that was cool. The house that he was in was...

This is Glenn in Irvine, and I guess what I have to report, we had a great evening last night. We had 173 people show up at the restoration hangar. It was the Greater Irvine Chamber was there, they had a business mixer, so it was great to expose everything that we're doing to all of the local businesses in the area. Just kind of a welcome and let people know that we're there. So, it was more people than we had expected, but it worked out pretty well. We have to be careful because this is a working environment, and you can get up and cozy with the aircraft, including the ailerons and rudders that can hit you in the forehead just square, and it's pretty sharp there too. So, we have to be pretty careful with people wandering through the aircraft, but it worked out well. No one was injured, everybody had a great time. So, anyway, today I've got the Education Committee meeting, which is also part of the museum work there, and we're starting to prepare for next year's grade school contest, and so that should be a pretty good morning here.

It was one of my wife's favorite restaurants when we were stateside. Recall that I lived in Panama for over 21 years. And, um, so that's where we're going. It was my choice and that's what I decided. So that's what we're going to do this evening. And, um, otherwise we did break some records for heat this week. Uh, that's not a surprise but not good news.

That would be very cool if you could see if you managed to check in from over there. Um, timing sometimes I know is an issue, though, when you're on a trip like that.

I was just going to say, I live up far and saw where you're hiking on the Dunes. It's Honeyman State Park. It's pretty cool. One of the years we were down here with the RV club, we all went out. And the dune buggies shooting around the dunes, it was a lot of fun. Also, once a year, every year for I don't know how many years, they've had the Rods and Roadies show here in Florence. They shut the whole town down and have all the hot rods come in. And of course, all the beautiful roadies are in bloom about that time. So that's a big event to have down here. We've been there for that a couple of times. And of course, we got the Dunes Club. We got the nice waterfront river running right through the town. We're hoping to go down where they are. We're right on the ocean, but the Siles, I can't say, river runs right in through here. And we're hoping to get some fresh tuna off of one of the tuna boats that come in here. So anyhow, that's a few of the things we do down here in Florence, Oregon. So with that, 73 separated back to net control. Yeah, very, very nice. Makes me want to go to the beach and touch. All right, we'll finish every piece of Roy. Now, WHUB, Jim, the mic is yours. Good morning, Roy. I have to think back in time, but I remember a trip that the third I made up to, I think we were going to Travis City, Michigan. Somewhere around there, there's a huge set of sand dunes, and they were monstrous. And so I remember they're up there somewhere. It's been so long ago that I can't envision exactly where they are, but there was a huge set of dunes up there. They were dunes. I mean, you could look from horizon to rise and in the right place and see nothing but sand. So I just wanted to mention that we've got sand dunes on this side of the world, too.

Hey, this net meets every day at 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. on the PSRG Repeater in Seattle, Washington. That's WW7PSR. And we're at 146.96 MHz with a negative offset and a PL tone of 103.5. So hey, all you hams out there, this is a social net. It's an open net for all hams with a valid license and you can talk about anything you want as long as it's user friendly. And yeah, hey, set up your radios, come in and join us. If you're on the internet, we'd love to hear from you too. We are All Star and Echo Link connected. And please don't forget, this is a directed net. So please remember to go through net control to contact other stations. That makes things a little easier. And hey, this is Kilo Delta 7 Papa Whiskey Bravo Dave, the high desert pirate radio down here in Central Oregon coming to you via All Star. And hey, I'm standing in for Rockin' Ron the Wildman NR7-0 this morning. And so he is off and I have the net. So there you go. You have to put up with me one more time this week. So there you go. Alright, let's see. The way this works, we're going to build a list. I'll take names and call signs from oh, half a dozen or so check-ins. Go back to the top of the list that I make and ask for a report from each of those stations. When you give your report, please remember to keep the three minutes or less. That's the time out of the repeater and it lets us get as many check-ins as we can in a timely fashion. And mission critical, when you give your report, please remember to end with your call sign. That tells me you're done with your report and it satisfies our dear friends at the FCC. Alright, let me let it drop for just a second. Okay, let's see. There were some, oh, IOs are certainly welcome if you don't really want to have anything to say and want to check in. But let me know you're listening. Just tell me your IO or in and out and I will understand. So hey, that's the way this game works. I usually start out with short horizon stations. That's mobiles, IOs and low power stations. And we'll get this thing underway. Then we'll have some internet stations. We'll open up to everybody. Of course, none of that is carved in stone. So hey, I'm just looking forward to hearing from you. So with that, hey, let's get started. I've got some announcements this morning. There's some fun stuff on the announcement list, which I call the news from the high desert. And hey, I'll do that after the first round or two depending on how slow things get. And hey, let's get things rocking and rolling here. Hey, it's time. I'm looking for short horizon stations. Come ahead. KL7 DZQ, Kurt, IO. Hey, Kurt, I've got you on the list with an IO this morning. And thanks for coming by, saying hi and have a happy Friday. TGIF. Dave, remember it's Friday. I've got to remember it's Friday. Hey, there you go. Next station, please.

Hey, Madam, well, that's no pressure. Golly. Good morning, everybody on the net. It is a gorgeous Friday, and it is a Friday, which I'm very glad. I've got an educational question, kind of, sort of. If you were on the 9 o'clock net last night, you might have tuned in and heard a sort of a distressing situation, which net control was managing very well. But I'm wondering what the protocol is for someone who's crashing or someone who is apparently in distress. What can we as hams do either to control the situation or maybe to help that person? Don't really know what the protocol is. KK7 said ROI. Well, there are a lot of ways to handle it. The mission critical is this. The reason we are ham radio operators is to support any kind of an emergency. And that is absolutely priority. And you know, when we've had windstorms and things, no matter what the net is doing, any kind of emergency communication absolutely takes priority. That is mission critical. After that, we can call 911. We can get help there. We can notify authorities. We can do all kinds of things. And other than that, I got a call one time when we were in Wenatchee of a car wreck up on Swach Pass or Blewett Pass and was able to relay to the Sheriff's Department that they had an issue up there and got help up there. And yeah, until that is done, it's like that absolutely takes priority. So hopefully that will answer your question. And that's the way I've dealt with it. So yeah. Other than that, yeah, that's mission critical. We do periodically have some interference on this repeater. And you just ignore it. So we can walk right over the top of it, boost up to high power, and ignore any harmful RFI. So there you go. All right. Hopefully that answers your question. I'm sure others that will come on will also jump in with their opinions as well. And so hey, thanks for coming by and saying hi. Have a wonderful day. And we will catch you later. It's Friday. TGIF to everybody. Hey, there you go. This is Kilo Delta 7 Papa Whiskey Bravo Day in the high desert pirate radius, heading in for NR 7-0, rocking around the wild man. And I am listening for more short horizon or internet stations. Please come ahead. Kilo Kilo 7 Victor Papa Juliet Curtis Danilo. Hey, I got you. Hey, how you doing? I'll be back for a report from you here in just a second. Next check in, please. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November Quebec November All Star Note 6222 located in 7 Washington.

I have no cell service. I guess I do actually have some cell service, but I'm using All-Star through a Starlink on the top of my truck. So that's a sweet test that I just confirmed works. And I'm on my meat tour where our ranch drives around the Pacific Northwest and delivers meat to customers who have bought meat from us. So I'm headed to Western Oregon today, and I will finish up in Seattle. And then tomorrow, turn around and come back to kind of Eastern Central Oregon. So that's my update. Just a lot of road time. KK7 VPJ. Hey, great to hear from you. Great to hear my neighbor there. Because I'm down in Prineville, or just south of Prineville. I'm out towards the reservoir just slightly. But yeah, great to hear from you. And yeah, one of these days we got to get an eyeball for sure. You are on my list of people that if I get up that direction, I'll give you a shout and see if we can catch an eyeball and maybe do a lunch or something. So at any rate, hey, you take care, drive safe, and have a good trip. And we will catch you later. Thanks for coming by and saying hi. Let's go over to Deer Lake and see what Jim and Jane are up to. K7 PDZ, McDoubles partner has caught the ball. Well, good morning there, Dave. I couldn't stand the silence, so I had to get in here and help you out. It's a beautiful day here. It's a little cool. It's 65 degrees yet, but it's warming up. And so we had a couple of days of rain and everything. And yesterday, last night, Jane and I took the C cycle out. For the first time since I've added navigation lights to it. So we were out after dark, after sunset. And as the sun sets sooner and sooner and sooner, our window of opportunity to ride that was getting shorter and shorter. So we decided to put lights on it. And then it took a lot of trying to get out of the window. Because it's plastic pontoons, you don't want to drill holes in it. You can't use suction cups because it's kind of a pebbled plastic. And it's not metal, so you can't use magnets on it. So trying to figure out how we're going to put the navigation lights on it was a challenge. But anyway, I finally got it figured out. Found some online that fixed the problem. We had a lot of fun doing that last night. It wasn't pitch dark out, but it was past sunset when you're supposed to have lights on. Anyway, that's how we got going. It's going to be a hot one over here again. Temperatures in the 90s tomorrow and the sun is going to be a little bit warmer. So we're going to have to get out of the window. And then we're going to have to get out of the window. So a hot one over here again. Temperatures in the 90s tomorrow and Monday. So it's still hot over here, which is good. So anyway, thank you, Dave. Seven six, everybody. This is Jim and Jane at tier one, J7. PTC. Hey, Jim, that sounds great. Hopefully the mosquitoes aren't too bad there. After dark at some place, you know, some places it can be really. You like your dinner and there you go. Well, hey, great to hear from you and thanks for taking my next Wednesday. Much appreciated. And I'm sure we'll talk between now and then. And hopefully we'll be available for the Zoom to queue that night. We'll be up at Shelley's. So there you go. Well, 73 is high to Jane there. And you guys have a wonderful Friday. I'm still trying to remember it's Friday. And we will catch you later. All right. Let's see what needs up to Alpha Alpha seven Romeo.

I took yesterday and today off doing some work around the house. We're getting some mold remediation done. I don't have major mold, but some. It's apparently given my wife and daughter, even probably me, some respiratory difficulties. So we're hopefully getting that taken care of. We're having to move a lot of stuff out of a few rooms upstairs. They need the room completely cleared out because we need to tear out some of the drywall below windows where there's moisture and look for mold. They have to seal it off so the mold doesn't spread. A bit of a chore. My normal radios are I had to take them all down and put them in boxes. I'm just on my HT with 5 watts. I'm still going into my attic vertical antenna up maybe 25 feet. It's a good size common cheap P3. I think that's what's doing the trick. Other than that, just checking into the net. Everyone has a good day. We've got some nice sun up here right now. Looks like it ever so. Everyone has a good weekend. A7RM. We'll give it back to net control. Hey Nate, great to hear from you. Awesome. Sorry to hear about the mold. That can be a real pain. Good to hear from you. Happy Friday. All that fun stuff. Hey, we will catch you another time. Be safe. Get rid of the mold for sure. Here in the high desert we don't have much of a mold problem. There's just not enough humidity to support it. Although there are some that do live in this. You've got to keep an eye on it. There you go. 73s will catch you later. Hey, have a great day. This is Keelan Delta 7 Papa with Ski Bravo Day. We're here at the High Desert Pirate Radio standing in for Rockin' Ron the Wildman. NR 7-0 as he would say. Never refuse 7 Oreos.

I will try and leave a little bit of extra time at the end of each round so that internet stations, if you're having problems connecting, can get in.

So let's back up and see what George is up to, KB0, Mike, Alpha, India, take it away. Well thank you sir, I appreciate it. I hope everybody on the net is doing just fine up there in Seattle and everywhere else that you're checking in from. I'm down here in Kansas City, Missouri. We, you know, it's been pretty decent here lately. Last week it was absolutely gorgeous, but then this week the heat wave came back in, so we're back up to 90, 95 degree weather for this whole week. So, a lot of humidity and everything else, so I'm not really looking forward to it. But at least I'm home at the house and enjoying the day off, and that's cool. I went out and had breakfast with a friend this morning, and got back to the house and I had a flat tire. It was real low. I didn't notice it when I left this morning, so luckily I had an electric pump and filled it up and got up the tire discount and they got it all took and care of for me. But that's the first flat tire I've had in like 20 years, so I consider myself quite lucky. Doing well though. Just doing well and everything's fine over here in Kansas City. That's about it. Back to you KB0MAI. Back to net control. Hey, great to hear from you. Kansas City, here I come. Yeah, hey. Great to hear from you this morning and thanks for the report. Sorry about the flat tire though. Yeah, I hate flat tires. Oh man. But yeah, what a pain. But you know, if you got a pump and you got placed nearby and then you're in good shape, I always carry one of those emergency patch kits and a pump with me whenever I go anywhere. And the only trouble is that little pump on my pickup tires. It takes like 30 minutes to get it even up to like 20 PSI. But hey, it does the trick and if you have to plug it, you can plug it and do that tire patch thing. So there you go. And it works pretty well. So 73s. Have a wonderful day. Thanks for coming by and saying hi and we will catch you later. Let's see what Rich is up to. Hey, K3 Oscar Echo. Take it away. Good morning, good morning. And I'm sorry I stumbled into the internet. I just got back in the house with Polo and I heard you calling so I jumped in. Anyway, yeah, I always am ready for any kind of tire problem. That's for sure. You gotta be ready just in case. And anyway, thanks for the Echo. So I get two Echos this week. Cool. I love it. So anyway, some of you are probably wondering why I didn't do any antenna last night. I didn't even check into the net last night but I have a really good excuse. I went down to the Museum of Flight last night because it's their one free day a month. So I went down there, I got there right at 5 o'clock and got in and got inside and sure enough our friend Dan was in there. So Dan and I just kind of made the rounds of the place and he gave me a whole tour. So I was there for almost four hours and I got back home here. I was just too tired to do anything. But anyway, thanks for picking up the net for Ron. Back to you, K3oB. Hey Rich, glad you had a wonderful time at the Museum of Flight. Man, I love that place. It's just so much fun. And yeah, what can I say? No, you did not break in on the internet round. I opened it up to everybody. And just taking internet as they come. So trying to leave a little extra time here or there to get them in. Especially Echo Link Connects. So there you go. Well Rich, have a wonderful day and glad you had a good time and we will catch you later. Happy Friday. I'm still trying to remember it's Friday. Kilo Kilo 7, Whiskey Quebec Alpha.

Ron hardly ever gets back to the Northwest these days, but he's here, I guess he's headed out today. I think they're going up north on a cruise or some crazy thing. But man, I hope he has a great time. But you know, he doesn't have time to work in a visit with us, except maybe here on the Net. But I just wish him well. It is awesome that he's having all this time off. And out of Scorchville, Arizona, N58Q. Mike checked in yesterday on the new Net and he said, 117 today here in Chandler there. Oh, yikes. Okay, no, thank you. So Ron's making a good move, get out of town. Anyway, yeah, he'll miss the big ice cream social Net on Sunday, but you know, we'll see him another time, I hope. Anyway, yeah, it sounds like Rich had a great time at the museum yesterday. That is awesome. And a private tour by W70H. Can't go wrong there. Anyway, all right, well Dave, thank you for filling in for Ron's day. Doing a great job as usual. And I hope you and Sam have a great weekend. Talk to you all at noon. KI7RMU. Hey, Zach, yep. And we're headed north next week, so that's why I'm having a gym that's taking my Net next week. Yeah, we're headed up to the little town of Egmont, as you know. Egmont. In the BC Coast there. So, looking forward to that. I'm sorry about why I'm going, but on the other hand, you know, it'd be great to catch up with the family up there and all that fun stuff. That's, yeah, Doug and I went to college together. We're an engineering school, lecture, double E together. Oregon State University, back in the 70s. November, Quebec, November. So there you go. Wow, that's a long time ago, huh? What can I say? Anyway, 73's Jack and we will catch you later. And I'm having a ball doing Ron's Net, as always.

So let's start there with Bossa Nova Bill, KG7FWB. What's strumming away on the old guitar today? Well, hi there, Ron. I mean, uh, Dave. You knew I was kidding, too. Anyway, little humor now and then is good. So, uh, actually, uh, what was it, last week or earlier this week? I actually went on Google Earth to see the little village of Eggmont. It looks pretty. I went down to the street level on the piers and looking out, and it looks like it's a really picturesque area there. Nice and green and, uh, yeah, it looks like you'll have a good time. Pretty small village there, but, uh, you know, if you want to have peace and quiet, that's the place to be. So, let's see, today I'm working on, um, about a year ago, a question came up was if I ever bought a lottery ticket and won, what would I do with the money? How would I do it? How would I pay taxes? How would I, uh, would I get CDs? Would I put money in the bag? What would I, you know. So I came up with several different ideas and kind of made a plan, and so today I'm working a little bit more on that part of it as far as, uh, CDs, uh, and, uh, T-bills, T-notes, uh, and doing research on that. And of course a lot of it I ask copilot, which gives you actual facts, which is pretty neat. So as far as strumming, uh, not much today, but tomorrow night we have our music night. So back to you, KG7FWB. Say hi to Sam. Hey Bill, great to hear from you this morning and, uh, yeah, I will say hello to Sam. She just walked back to her office there on the other side of the house and, uh, well, a whole wall away. Geez, that was a long walk. Anyway, and, uh, yeah, Volta Egmont, goofy little place. Um, but years ago, I don't know how many people remember, but like back in the sixties, there was a kid's adventure show that was filmed in Egmont and they had planes and they were like park range or Rangers or something like that. And, uh, you know, they had a, the Havilland Beaver and all that fun stuff. I'd fly around and get into all kinds of trouble. It was kind of cool. So, uh, interesting. And, uh, but at any rate, yeah, I, um, neat little place. Friends have a little BNB there that, uh, um, I don't know if Andy's still going to be running the BNB or not. Uh, now that Doug's passed, but we'll, I'll find out when we get up there. So there you go. I would imagine she will, but I don't know. Hey, 73 is Bill and I will catch you later and quit back in the morning. And see what Doug is up to. Katie seven Delta kilo. Take it away, Doug. Mike, all four link two four six two. Okay. I'm sure what that automated thing was. Um, uh, we're just, uh, puttering around the house, uh, looking forward to it. We've been busy this past week. Um, but, uh, we've got some catching up to do here at home shopping and, uh, a little bit of garden stuff and, um, tend to the garden a bit. Um, so, uh, we were, uh, trying to, uh, fill out a bit. Weather's going to be really happy with the rain, uh, both for the forests and, uh, and also for the garden here. So, um, looking forward to it. I'm going to go ahead and get my, uh, and also for the garden here. So, um, looking forward to, uh, having a nice weather again. Uh, not sure. It sounds like it's a bit hotter and drier where you are, but, uh, it's a bit really pleasant around here and we're looking forward to some more great weather. So, uh, back to you, Dave. Uh, and, uh, everyone to the upcoming events we have here. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Great to hear from you. And, uh, uh, yeah, well, the day, our last few days have been low seventies, uh, for highs. And last night we actually got down in the forties, uh, as a nighttime low. So it's been a little chilly here. What can I say? Man. Uh, but we are supposed to at about 82 today and we'll be up in the nineties by the end of the weekend. So, uh, things are definitely on the warmup. Um, so actually looking forward to a little cooler weather when we go up to egg Mont there in Canada. So it should be a little cooler up that way. We'll see what we get. Hey, best to Elaine there. And, uh, we will catch you later. So yeah, have a wonderful Friday. There you go. Who else is out there that would like to check in naming tall sign? I'd love to hear from you. This is Kilo Delta seven, pop up. Whiskey Bravo. Dave, the high desert pirate radio listening for you. Victor Oscar one uniform kilos. Victor Oscar one uniform kilos.

Always great to hear from you. And for sure. All right. Anybody else out there? Name and call sign. Come ahead. This is James. Hello, James. I got you on the list and I'm getting some interference from you. And I don't know what that's about, but maybe we can figure it out. But I do have you on the list. I'll be back in a minute. And next check in, please. Mike. OK. I had a little break in there and did not copy something. Uniform Mike, maybe. Can you come back with your name and call sign for me? This is Peter station Kilo Kilo seven November, Quebec, November. This is Peter station Kilo Kilo seven November, Quebec, November. All Star node six two two two. Located in Shelton, Washington. OK. That time all I got was the kilo. Let's give it one more shot. I'd still love to talk to you this morning. Let's see if we can play. Come ahead. I can't believe it was a pin broken off in the connector that's intermittent. I just twisted it back down right. Magnolia. OK. J7 Victor Echo Uniform, I believe, if I can read my handwriting.

Hey, always great to hear from you Daryl. Take it away, Victor Oscar One, uniform kilozunu. What you got? Come in. Thanks Dave, good morning to you man. Good morning to everybody here on the PS urge. 9 AM, yes, just had to check my watch. Make sure what time of the day it was. I tell you, you're way too relaxed when you have to look at your clock to see if it's 2 o'clock or 4 o'clock. You get started up here for your 9 AM at 1.30 in the afternoon. And your other one starts I believe at 4.30 in the afternoon, local time. And your 9 PM, believe it or not, that one starts at 1.30 in the morning here. So, yeah, cool stuff man. I asked this question the other day when Bill was running the net. The high desert pirate radio thing that you say. Curious on the story behind that one. And as I mentioned, I had contemplations for a very short time on setting up a very, very low power. FM or AM, pirate radio station I guess you could say. But then I learned very quickly that being a licensed ham, if I were to get caught doing something like that, my license could be in jeopardy. So I was like, nah, it's not worth my ham license. I mean, it's a hobby I do and I participate in all the time. I've been running Dew Drop Inn for almost 10 years. And I definitely wouldn't want all that to be put in jeopardy just for the sake of a fun little side project. But it sure would be. I mean, you know, just a couple of watts, a couple of hours a night or something like that. Play some music that I like. You know, some heavy stuff, some heavy metal type stuff. Newer heavy metal, not like 70s, well, pasture heavy metal, but the newer stuff is up my alley. Back over to you, Dave. Interested to hear about the High Desert Pirate Radio. Be on you, Casey. Hey, Errol. Great to hear from you this morning. Okay, here's the scoop. Well, first off, you know, you can do it as a blog. And people can tune into the blog that way. A lot of people are doing little, like, one hour or two hour shows, music shows, and doing it as a blog. And having a lot of fun with it. And that might be a way to do it. And under a certain wattage, you shouldn't have any issues. As long as you're not interfering with any local radio stations. And I forget all the details of that, but it can be done. But you're also in Canada, so I don't know. I know what happens here in the US, but I don't know what's going on with Canada. And I thought about doing that too, doing a little two hour radio show once a week or once a month or something like that would be kind of fun. And, anyway, the pirate radio thing, for years, my wife and I lived 30 years on a sailboat. And kind of got known, everybody wondered if I was a pirate radio because that was my only base station was operating off the boat. So, there you go. And so I kind of got, people started calling me the pirate radio. And that's how it kind of took off. But it is in reference to the pirate radio stations back in the 60s, 70s. Specifically Radio Caroline, of course, is the big one. And, yeah, I do not operate illegally. I am kind of a stickler on that one. The worst thing I do is probably don't ID myself as often as I probably should. But, anyway, that's where it all came from. So I hope that answers your question. And great to hear from you. Happy Friday and TGIF, so to say. And we will catch you later. I'm looking forward to it. Let's go, James. It's up to WQ7H. What you got going on, James? Take it away."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T09:54:58+00:00","id":15269,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15268,"text":" Good morning, WQ7H, this is James. Thank you for filling in for NR7, Ever Refuse 7 Oreos. I love it. I don't know what happened this morning. I tried to connect and my gizmo just turned red and went crazy, so I just, I had to turn it off. So something weird happened. And I can only assume that if you were having interference problems, it was coming from me. Because my thing turned all red and was going nuts. So that's, there it is, blame me. There it is, there you go. I'm off to get some bids on some car maintenance stuff for my daughter. Isn't that always how it is? There you go. So I'm gonna stop by Greg's Japanese, oh is that, can I do that? Can I say the name? Well it's that or Honda. They used to make it simple. Remember those days? And they did too. That was a long, long time ago. I can still remember before the music died. And then I'm gonna go to Vetco and buy a, an eighth inch plug so I can hook up my paddles to my new radio. And that's what I'm doing. Good morning everyone. And we'll be back later to talk to Jack. Yay, beautiful day. You know, temps in the 70s, sunshine. Sunshine don't burn. And RTFM, this is James, back to net. Another quick comment when you get through to next station's view on UKZ. Oh Roger that, got you Daryl. I'll be back to you here in just a second for a recheck. And James, yeah, yes you can mention names as long as you have no pecuniary interest in that business. I can recommend a restaurant, that kind of thing. Hey, no problem. But yeah, you can't do business over the radio which is why there are times people have asked me about specific questions about guitars and I have to say, you need to call me. I can't talk about this. So some things I can and some things I can't and I tend to try and be very careful about doing that. So yeah. And what was the other one? I don't know, I don't know what else you said and I was gonna comment on it. I have the foggiest clue what it was. But hey, great to hear from you James and you take care. Have a wonderful Friday. Still trying to say Wednesday, it's Friday. Friday, Friday, Friday. And we will catch you again later, 73s. Daryl, I'll be back to you. Let me get this last check in and then I'll be back and give you a shout for a recheck. KJ7 Victor, Echo Uniform. Please. Well, you know that retirement theory. You'll have more time when you do your projects. Well, you know, that goes, fades real fast when you realize how life works. Let's see, I've watered my fig tree and a whole lot of the front yard and trying to revitalize grass and bringing in more birds from my bird sanctuary that way and insects. Because they come in and they love that water. I don't have a bird bath and it hasn't rained here much. So I do that and I'll have a good water bill for this month but you know, I'm trying to keep the birds fed in water and keep it away from the rats. But yeah, it's like that. Let's see, oh, and my penchant for just dropping in on things and supernatural events and just oddball. I show up and there it is, kinds of thing. Yesterday I went and stopped by my church to pick up, pick some raspberries out front. You know, and I got about eight or 10. It was hard to park and there's all these people around. And I bumped into Marlon Bortman's memorial service. And I go in and yeah, I knew him. And you know, Sheila says, glad you could come. You know, his wife. No, I just showed up and picked blueberries but here I am again on call just like I always show up and do other things and unexpectedly. And it's a party or what. Break for a moment here. And yeah, those who know me know that I'm just there. Things happen right in front of me. And I go, okay, I saw that. Oh, like I went through Oso the day before that slide because I wanted to go Friday and visit a friend of mine up the river there. And yeah, I beat the traffic and then the next day I went to the area where it's always raining and hailing and cold and wet. They had a slight surprise and they put a bunch of homes in there. Somebody doesn't remember anything apparently about that part of Oso and 530. Okay, well, you know, back to the future. I'm gonna go back to the senior center and work with no ISP on their internet. Thanks Dave, KJ7VEU 73. Hey, great to hear from you. And boy, I certainly remember the Oso slide. Wow, that was quite the event. And I'm very sorry about all the loss of life. Holy cow, what a disaster to put it mildly. So, hey, well, take care 73s. And yeah, it's funny how things work out that way when you walk into something and it's like, oh yeah, okay. I do that as well. And yeah, quite frequently. Or you'll think of somebody and they'll call you the very next day, you know, that you haven't thought of in years. And then it's like, all of a sudden you get a call from them and yeah, I do that all the time. So there you go. Well, 73s, we will catch you later and have a wonderful Friday. Let's go back and get the recheck gear. Darrell, what you got going on? Come on, V01, V01. Uniform kilo, Zulu, take it away. Yeah, definitely Victor Oscar, for sure. A lot of people put in Victor Zero and then they don't get me coming up. In regard to the radio stuff, I actually worked at a college radio station back when I was in high school as a communications credit. And then years later, this was about maybe six or seven years ago now, I actually found this service online called RadioNami. They've since been bought up by the shoutcast, I believe. And what RadioNami did was it let you upload all your MP3s to their site and you could create an automated 24-7 radio station. You could even put in advertisements, station identifiers, you know, all that type of thing. The kicker with RadioNami was they paid out the royalties to the music you played because I think that's the real kicker, right? With doing a pirate radio station is the artists don't get their royalties and they do from commercial radio stations. So RadioNami let you set all that up and then once you got it all rolling, it just played in an app on your phone 24-7. But then you could take a piece of software called Rocket Broadcaster and link it to that account and then you could go live. I used to do that a couple times a week, I'd go live and then I had Facebook messengers output audio patched in so I could take online requests through voice, you know, on the station and stuff and play whatever music people wanted to hear or whatever I felt like I was in the mood to play. And then those live broadcasts were archived so you could call them up again at a later date and I got out of it. I did it for like six or eight months. It didn't really take off. You know, I mean, I used to get maybe 20 consecutive listeners and stuff like that, but it didn't really take off so I gave up on it. But there are services out there for anybody that is interested, you can actually set up an actual radio station. Like it doesn't broadcast over RF, but an internet radio station that could be as good quality as an RF radio station if someone knew what they were doing. And if you got sponsors and things like that, you could actually put their advertisements over there and make a bit of money off it, but it didn't go that way for me so I just gave up on it. But it was a cool venture nonetheless and I had a lot of hams tuning in. I recently got into game streaming, playing video games and I got a game capture device and a streaming account set up and I've got into doing that recently. So you gotta have hobbies, man, and mine, having a background in computer science and communications. I worked for the Canadian government for a while back in the day doing communications for consulates and embassies in different countries around the world for the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs. So I've got a background in this stuff and I just find it fascinating, man, with technology and radio, you know, things."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-08T09:56:11+00:00","id":15270,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15269,"text":" Hey Dave, I didn't know whether you were just chatting with somebody or I just turned on the radio on mobile down here in downtown Kirkland.

What you got going on? Come ahead. Thank you, Dave. Good morning to all out there listening. Only one item to share. We have a little internet radio station here in Kingston. And you can find it on KingstonLocal.org. Check it out. They play mostly local artists and Sprinkle and some other more popular artists in there as well. So just a fun little radio station. Again, KingstonLocal.org. Let's see. Another good day unfolding for us over here. And we appreciate the rain we got here a couple of days ago for sure. Hope you guys got something down there, Dave.

And thanks for the info there. And yeah, we have a station here that is the single most eclectic radio station I've ever heard. And it's out of Madras. And it's called KJIV. K-J-I-V. They do it. They do internet broadcast as well. And they are lots of fun. You'll get everything. Like, you'll hear they'll play like some country tune, you know, Merle Haggard or something. The very next one will be AC DC. And then there'll be some jazz. And then there'll be some classical. And it just, it's all over the board. And it's so much fun. I just love it. And then they do have a couple of specific shows that they do on specific days that you kind of know what you're going to get. But for the most part, it is very eclectic. And it's just fun. It's all get out. And so you might check that out, KJIV. And I know you can find it online there. So anyway, thanks, Bill. We'll catch you later. 73, happy Friday. Let's see what Matt's up to. KJ7WQI. Take it away, Matt. Hello there, Dave and everybody on the net. Yeah, I'm here on a day off here in Boston. It's real nice out. Pretty warm, but not too hot. And the topic of a little doing your own radio station, I, we used to have a toy around the house when I was a kid. It was one of those things that you plug in to a CD player. And you could broadcast on a specific radio signal so that your radio would pick up the CD player. It didn't have the ability to plug in an aux cable. But we had kind of messed with the wiring a little bit. Because I think it was meant to be in your car. But we had messed with the wiring so you could pick it up through the whole house. So it might have been a small little pirate radio station. But it didn't go far enough to be troublesome. But yeah, that brought back a deep memory from childhood. That must have been like 10, 11, 12 at that point. Anyways, just chilling on a day off, a much needed day off. I've been working for like a week straight. It's nice to kick my feet up for a minute, take a couple deep breaths, and relax. Just went and did some grocery shopping and got back to the house. Wondered if the net was still running. Looks like it is. And I wanted to pop in and say hello. So I'll throw it back to you, Dave. Thanks for running that. Hope everybody's doing fine. KJ7WQI. Hey, Matt. Great to hear from you this morning. And yeah, that sounds like fun. So I can dig that. Yeah. Well, 73s, have a wonderful day off for sure. And it sounds like you definitely deserve it. So go for it. Yeah, go do something crazy. Sounds like my kind of day. Anyway, 73s, and we will catch you later. All right. Hey, I need to do the announcements real quick. I'll do a quick version of them, maybe not touch on everything that is out there. But let's get the highlights and the important points in real quick before I move on. So let me let it drop, and I will get started on the news from the high desert. OK. As you know, this net meets every day, 365 days a year, on the PSRJ repeater in Seattle, Washington. That's 9 AM noon and 9 PM. Next one coming up, of course, is Jack's Nooner. OK. There you go. OK. Let's see. Other points of serious importance. Don't forget that the simplex net Saturday night at 8 PM is on 146.56. And the radio club at Tacoma on Saturday from 10 to 2 is having an open house. Go in and meet your friends and get an eyeball with some other hams. And yeah, everybody is welcome. So go check out the radio club of Tacoma. All right. Sunday the 10th, mission critical. Season 7, episode 5 of the noon net Rain or Shine. At the east side of Green Lake down by the Paddle Boat Reynolds, just north of the Paddle Boat Reynolds. And it's an ice cream social, so go get some ice cream. You'll get a little voucher when you get there. And you can go over to the local ice cream shop and get an ice cream cone. So there you go. And yeah, go have fun. Meet up with other members of the PSRJ and have a good time. And hey, sounds like a hook for you. Wish I could be there. But we will be up there on Wednesday, briefly, passing through. So there you go. August 17, Shoreline Community College, vintage electronics swap meet. So go up and check that out. It's always fun. They've always got some really neat, goofy old stuff up there and it's really fun. So go check that out. And the Wooden Boat Fest is coming up September 5 through the 7th. So go check that out in Port Townsend. And today is National Frozen Custard Day. What a burger day. Sleep under the stars night. CBD day. Pickleball day. Ironically, today is bocce ball day for me. We have friends coming over to play bocce tonight. And Ron's game is pickleball. And today is National Pickleball Day. So think of Ron when you're thinking about pickleball. Mochi day. Dollar day. And Happiness Happens day. Sneak a zucchini onto your neighbor's porch day. I love that one. Oh man, I wish I had some. Our local produce gives away these giant zucchinis this time of year because they can't sell them. It would be fun to get one of those and go sneak it onto my neighbor's porch. Anyway, alright, that's the news from the high desert. I'm listening for more radio check-ins. Name and call sign please. It's 10 a.m. Take it away. Who's out there? Come in. B1UKZ with another recheck. No rush. Okay, let me see if I can get a couple of check-ins here, Daryl. I'll get you there with another recheck. Hang on a second. Next station, please. KP7RYY, Dan.

I usually don't have much comment on these nets, but today, I don't know, just I heard the other station talk about modifying that little car thing that was intended for CD players, one of those little FM transmitters. And I played around with that a little bit years ago as well but couldn't figure out how to amplify it back then. And when I put a tiny little two watt VHF amplifier on it, it splattered, it went way up and down the band so you couldn't use that obviously. But I did use a little two watt amplifier back in the late 90s. Myself and a friend of mine who was also into electronics modified an old cordless phone. Remember those old ones worked on 49 megahertz grand clock? Had a big telescopic antenna. We had a little two watt amplifier and we modified the base station for one of those and put an external antenna on it. And I was up and outside my house, and I live on a hill, it's about 650 feet above the city. So down at the base of that hill, there was a park, like a park playground, swimming pool, that type of thing, where we all used to hang out. And nobody really had cell phones, especially the younger guys back in the 90s. We had beepers. And this phone could get about a five mile range after the modifications. So the base unit was at my house and I could take the cordless unit of it and it was a little Frankenstein, it had like the little amplifier on the back of it and a couple of double A's power in that. But it was only a small little two watt amplifier on the base unit and the handheld. And I could get phone calls from my landline down at the park about five miles away because it was a clear line of sight from the top of the hill where I live to the park at the bottom. And it was mind blowing to my friends back in the day that we could have a phone that was sitting on the picnic table, we could make calls with, it didn't have any minutes or anything like that to worry about. And I could also get incoming calls on the thing. And like I say, my friends back in the day were mind blown over that. But that was my last comment, talking about tinkering and modifications of existing products. But I don't think you can do that today with the 2.4 gig phones and digitally encrypted and spread spectrum and all this kind of stuff. But back in the day, 49 megahertz analog, lots of fun to be had. 73 days from here on UKZ. Oh, Daryl, I love it. That's great. I do remember those days, the little pull out antennas and all that stuff. Oh, man. Yeah. Yeah, some of the old phones, yeah, you could definitely do that with. So there you go. Well, thanks, Daryl, for the comment. Much appreciated. And we will catch you later. And I will say once again, have a great rest of your Friday out there and on the rock. So we'll catch you later. All right, let's see what the end is up to, KB7RYY and what you got going on. Come ahead. Hello, it's Dan, KB7RYY, climbing the hill behind my house is all I am want to do. I'm at about a thousand feet now, I think. Anyway, there's Lake Washington, there's Bellevue. Hey, I'm gonna change the topic. I had something else talked about, but cordless phones. Anybody remember the ones that are down at 160 meters, like 1.7 megahertz? They operated on power lines. I, we used to live down in pure West Iberian. My folks lived on the water. I moved up the hill about a mile and a half away along I guess the same AC feature line. I could hear them a mile and a half away. Think about all the other people I could hear as well. Let me let it break. Okay, anyway, simplexed out, I've heard of that thing. You know, somebody changed the frequency from 14655 to 14656. And you know, I'm supposed to read the preamble tomorrow night, I just might go over to that frequency and see what Jeff says. JP7RYY. Hey Dan, thank you for that. Yeah, I do remember those, holy cow. Yeah, that takes me back a while, doesn't it? Yeah, all right. Yeah, give it a shot and see what happens. What the heck? Why not? Thanks for coming by and saying hi. And for those of you who don't know, Dan is also a net controller for the Puget Sound Boaters Net occasionally. And don't forget that meets at 7.47 every morning. And it's a formal roll call, but visitors are welcome at the end of the net. And it's always fun to get local weather forecasts and critter reports and fun stuff from the Puget Sound Boaters Net. So don't forget that's out there. Won't you know Dan would check in on the day that I forget to put that in my announcement. So there you go. Dan, have a wonderful day. Happy Friday and we will catch you later. Whiskey six, Foxtrot Delta uniform. What you got going on?

Oh wait, Dave. Dave. Hi Dave, it's Chris. Good morning, Chris. We're down to one these Tuesdays, so rock and roll. What you got? Well, thanks for picking up Ron's net there. Yeah, it's, uh, I thought maybe I'd gone back in time. And that, uh, we're, we're, uh, reliving Wednesday. But, uh, anyhow. Good hearing you out there. Had a couple of questions that came up. Um, first one, there was an earlier station that was, uh, driving around from Oregon. Uh, KK7, Bravo something, if you could pass the rest of that along to me, that would be wonderful. And then, uh, um, was curious how you get up to Edmont, Edmont. I, uh, heard that, um, maybe a day or two ago. And it piqued my interest anytime a, uh, a Northwest explorer such as you mentions a fantastic spot, uh, I pay attention. Because I'd like to, uh, get up there and check that out one of these days. And I was curious how you're getting up there. Um, boat, airplane, car, ferry maybe? Alright. Well, uh, thanks again for running the net. Say hi to Sam. And, uh, $73 KK7 8 CD. Hey, Chris Green here from you. Uh, the station you are looking for is Kilo Kilo 7 Victor Pupa Juliette. VPJ. KK7 VPJ. Um, and he's an amylope. Um, just, heh. And, and as the crow flies, it's not that far, but as the car drives, it's, uh, it's quite a drive out there. So, uh, yeah. Um, yeah. But neat little community out there, that's for sure. And, uh, I won't make any other comments about it than that. Um, let's see. Uh, the other one. Oh, Eggmont. Yes. Um, yeah, go up and visit the Eggmonsters. There you go. Um, we're driving up, unfortunately. So that means, yeah, we're gonna be leaving here Wednesday morning. We'll be in Seattle Wednesday night staying with Shelly. Then we're going, uh, gonna jump on, uh, head north and, uh, cross the border. Jump on the first ferry we can get across Howe Sound and then go drive north from there. So, yeah, we got two long days ahead of us to get up there. But then we're gonna spend three days there and then work our way back. So, uh, but we're driving, unfortunately. We checked in on getting a flight, because we can fly in Madeira Park, uh, via Kenmore Air was also a thought. But at $900 a person, no. I don't think so. Although, frankly, it would be worth it, because the scenery is just spectacular up there. So, there you go. But, no, we're not doing that. Um, so, anyway. Well, I hope that answers the question and, uh, we will catch you later. 73s. Alright, who else is out there that would like to check in? Uh, name and call sign, comments, complaints, anything for the good of the net. I'll take them all.

Yeah, go ahead Chris, take it away. Meant to give you a book recommendation, maybe you've already heard of it, uh, we're working our way through it.

Very, very interesting, and the book title, if you've got your pencil ready, is Golden Spruce. Golden Spruce, maybe you've heard of it, but uh, it's been a great read so far, so if you've got a lot of time, uh, ahead of you, maybe, uh, maybe a good book is in order. Alright, take care Dave, drive safe, KK78CD. Hey Chris, great to hear from you again, and uh, I have not heard of that particular book, but I will certainly look it up for sure, because I do love that area up there. We, in 2000, we spent 13 weeks sailing around Vancouver Island, and we got up as far as Cape Caution, um, just slightly north of Vancouver Island. And uh, it was absolutely spectacular, um, and it's real interesting, because there's some real ghost towns on the outside of the island, and, you know, we had a great time, um, visited a lot of First Nations villages and all kinds of things, just had a ball, and, you know, always were welcome, and just had a wonderful time, uh, doing that trip. And uh, yeah, it was pretty spectacular, so was the fishing by the way, holy cow, um, just fun, and we got some great stories of it, fishing stories about that one too. So at any rate, um, yeah, we have been well up into that area, and up through McKenzie Sound, and on the mainland side, and then, uh, yeah, so, at any rate, yeah, lots of fun. So there you go.

I don't know how long today will be. We'll see. And I was at Starbucks this morning. That's where I went to up in Kender Warehouse up there. And dropped and hooked. And of course as you can imagine it smells like coffee everywhere which is great.

This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ and it's 9 o'clock, 9pm Pacific time and it's time now for the PSRG. 9 o'clock social nets. We do three nets of these days. Three nets a day, every day. 9am noon and 9pm all Pacific time. And yeah, what is today? August 8th. It's August 8th. Let's see here. I'll be your net host for tonight. This is a directed social net that happens three times a day. 9am noon and 9pm on the WW7 PSRG 2 meter repeater, which is located on Capitol Hill in Seattle, Washington. This repeater is operated by the Puget Sound repeater group and it operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and PL tone of 103.5. All licensed hams 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 and tell us about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else as long as it's suitable for our general audience. 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 called an I O. Please limit your reports to three minutes so that I can get as many stations in as possible. Three minutes is also when the repeater times out. Speaking of timing out, I'm still good. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign. So good to be here again. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. Let's get this thing started. Please come ahead now with your call sign and name, RF and internet. KAL9, Gulf Hotel, Victor, AA9, E, HVN, and Seattle. AF4LL, AF4LL, Bill N. Arlington. Good morning. Located in Shelton, Washington.

Please come ahead with your report. Well, good evening Rebecca. So I was up in Edmonds at Gallery North today and we sold a few things. And we, I played outside for a little bit and talked to some interesting people and some not so interesting people. I don't have an act of spotting when a conversation is going to go awry. So sometimes I get stuck in these conversations where all I can do if I want to make any money is to say, hey, you know, I'm trying to work here. Because otherwise I won't make any money because the guy is blocking the audience. It's just not so great. People like that don't take what I'm doing seriously and it's frustrating. Anyway, and I think I'm close to getting my D minor Christmas carol thing resolved. Let all mortal flesh keep silence as a Christmas carol, but my arrangement of it, I'm not happy with the way it sounds yet. I don't think I can get it ready in time, so I want to drop that. I want to add a little bit of money, a little bit of pizza money. But yeah, it was a lovely day. I'm going to go to the next meeting. Well, thank you so much, Ann, for your report. I hope you were able to make a little bit of money, a little bit of pizza money. But yeah, it was a lovely day out here. I'm sure that Edmonds was lovely as well. That gallery is such a great spot. This downtown Edmonds is so cute. Gallery North. I really enjoyed it. It's a wonderful variety of artists. It was a great spot. Thank you for your report, Ann. Let us know how your progress is going. All of your projects, all of your artistic ventures. 33 and all the numbers. And next on the list is Bill in Arlington, AF4LL, KK79JZ. Hey, Bill. Well, bless your heart. Oh, my gosh, Rebecca. Always glad to hear you, glad to hear the net. KK79JZ AF4LL and good morning from beautiful historic Arlington, Virginia. I am literally next to the Arlington Cemetery, Fort Meyer, and Iwo Jima, Iwo Jima, my name is. Beautiful here. The temperature is very much. It's nice to have the window open for me. I'm always glad to check into your net and the repeater here. Next to the back, Rebecca, 73 KK79JZ. This is AF4LL. Well, Bill, thank you so much for checking in and giving a report. I always appreciate you coming by and saying hi. It's good to hear from you and have a wonderful weekend. It's beautiful here. I can only imagine what it's like in Arlington. Have a fun weekend. And fun and exciting weekend as usual. 73, Bill, thanks for stopping by. Next on the list is California K4HD. Please come ahead with your report. Good evening, Rebecca, am I on the net? It's the kiddos' last full weekend before going to school. It's my younger daughter starting the seventh grade here. It's pretty exciting. We're looking forward to tomorrow evening, early morning, Sunday. We've got the photo moon and the planet alignment. So we'll be out hopefully on top of the summit somewhere. Have I had a great, safe weekend. 73 K4HD, back to net. Well, that's exciting, Kevin. Thank you so much for sharing. And, yeah, let us know how it goes. How your fun adventure goes, summit adventure goes. That sounds great. And 73, and thanks for stopping by, Kevin. Next on the list is Jeff in Onion City. Please come ahead with your report, Jeff.

I talked to him earlier tonight when he was on my antenna net. So speaking of antenna net, the antenna net went really good. We had some good questions from New Ham's and discussed some other antenna nets. Just for general, we have just a good solid hour of antenna so it was good. I'm very happy with it. I'm here in the Bay Area. It was like 90 degrees here today but I'm not sure if that's good. But definitely it was warm. I might turn it on a couple of times. But you know it's nice to have you say that. Meanwhile, I had my cleaner came in and she took care of the apartment for me. And boy they are good out of this group. But just spotless. And so she went in and did something and went in the room. And some reason she, I think, hit the off button on it down on the floor. It was there. And tell Alexa to return to the lab on it. It wouldn't turn on. So I went over there and waited. And at the bottom in black was the audio. I think I've never seen a microphone that could play a part. So everyone was experimenting. Other than that, that's about it for you Rebecca. Thank you for doing that as always. My sister broke down just about a month ago now. There's a cleaning crew that comes in and cleans up our house once a month. And it really, it is a help. Amazing. It's amazing getting the oven cleaned once a month. But yeah, perfect. I'm glad that you're getting that cleaning crew in. And yeah, you know, I guess it's a small price to pay for having a clean house. Sometimes they just mess with your step. But that's great. I'm so glad the antenna net went well. I love that you do that. Every day at 7 p.m. Pacific time. That's awesome Jeff. Thank you so much for your report. And have a fun ham radio full day tomorrow. Saturday. 7-3 Jeff. Alright, next on the list is Herb in Galveston, Texas. Please come ahead with your report Herb. Open the internet, Rebecca. And everyone on the net. Well, it's a typical Friday night. I've got the guy on and he's sampling all kinds of stuff from all over the country. As far north as Kansas and as far west as Texas. And he's doing a lot of work. I haven't had a chance to go to the store and get ice cream. So I haven't had a taste of ice cream over a week. And I'm kind of going through ice cream withdrawal. I've got to see if I can get something the next day or two. Definitely been the weather for it because it's really warm. I'm not sure if it's going to be a good time. And let's see what else is going on. Last week I happened to look at the weather for the first time. And I'm not sure if it's going to be a good time. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Well last week I was having to look at the O'Neill Air Festival, the air show that they're handling. And I got to see some of the acts they were doing us doing in our minds. So that was cool because I'm kind of an aviation love. I used to like to go to the air shows a lot and take lots of pictures. I've got all kinds of pictures of the Thunderbirds, the Blue Angels, the Snowbirds, other types of acts. And I haven't been in a while just now. So you know it was good to see any of these. Can we see them online? And let's see what else is going on in the world. I can't really think of much of anything. I'm thinking I had a whole lot to talk about but I guess I know. So with that I'm going to say 73 88 all the numbers stands for Hulson and Nat. The back of me. Scat 550 YB. That's the Nat. Well thank you so much. Yeah. Our friend Matt was in town so we got to see a little bit of the air show. I was dragging my feet so we missed a lot of it. But anyway, KI-7UEF was in town and I went to see them for the first time. And didn't see much and it's all my fault. But anyway, that's cool. I did know that you were an aviation buff. That's awesome Herb. I'm glad that you got to see some of it. And just so you know I have a quick solve for your ice cream problem. All you got to do is just jump in the car and head this way. Because Sunday they were doing an ice cream social in a beautiful part of Seattle called Green Lake. So quick fix. Just get in your car now, fill it up with gas and head north. 73 88 and all the numbers Herb. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for the Guy Fieri update. This is Rebecca KK79JZ and you're listening to the 9PSRG Social Net. Let's start a new list. Call sign and name, RF and internet. K-3-O-E-7 Juliet X-ray, tracking for R with Kilo Juliet cover, Romeo Alpha Bravo, K-Mobile. K-6 Romeo Alpha X-ray, Peter Santa Cruz, I-O. Alright, I'm going to draw a line there so I can catch up a little. First on the list is Rich, K-3-O-E and Polo. Next we have KJ7 JXM and KJ7 RAB Mobile. Do you need to go ahead and go or do you want to stay in queue? I think we're okay because branding was in range of a node here soon if we aren't doing that RF. Okay, and then we have Peter from Santa Cruz I-O. Let's take some more stations. Call sign and name, RF and internet. K-7 RAB Mobile, K-Mobile. Hello Rebecca, this is Charlie.

Anyway, and there's Charlie. I'm going to go ahead and draw a line there and go back to the top to Rich and Polo. Hey you two, what are you up to tonight in beautiful West Seattle? K-3-O-E, KK7 IJZ. Good evening Rebecca, well what are we up to? Oh we're nice and comfy here in the easy chair and Polo falls knuckle next to me so that's cool. And yeah, this evening I looked around the house to see what I could make a crazy antenna out of and I found a couple of things. So I have a whirly gig on top that my dad made decades ago so a little bit nostalgia there for me. And then there are some candy jar rings on the bottom that I soldered together and it's working fine so how about that? Well what's going on? Well yesterday I didn't make a crazy antenna because I actually wasn't here. I was down at the Museum of Flight and spent about four hours down there. It was fantastic especially because our friend, W70H, Dan was down there and gave me a grand tour of the whole place. So that was just absolutely fantastic. So anyway, what else? Beautiful day here. I think it was a beautiful day everywhere. Anyway, Polo and I made the best of it. Anyway, thank you so much for doing this and back to you K-3-O-E. Well that sounds like fun. I keep on, you know, just adding to the list. I keep on wanting to go and visit Dan at the Museum of Flight and get a secret tour. That's great. I'm glad that you, I'm very glad that you took time to do that. Rich, it's a really, it's such an interesting museum. Yeah, it's a lot of fun. And yeah, that's what I wrote down. Whirligig plus canning jar rings. I, uh, yeah, that's great. That sounds awesome. I love it. I love it. I love crazy antenna time, Rich. Keep them coming. We'll give this to Polo and 7-3 and 88 to you both and have a wonderful evening in beautiful West Seattle in your beautiful home. And yeah, thanks for stopping by. Alright, next on the list is Robert, KJ7, JXM. How's date night going? Well, first of all, how's our signal? It is both copyable, completely copyable and terrible. So come ahead with your report. Just do it. Alright, alright, alright. This is KJ7, JXM, Robert and 6 tacos, 2 sofas and 2 margaritas in the night. It has been a incredible night. Oh my goodness. I got the first man of 2 completed today. So I got him set out first thing in the morning. I'll get the 2 man completed tomorrow. And then back to the dealership on Sunday so that I can pay the ASAP. There's a couple good checks there. I'm going to spend it about $10. I also received my first check for the business today. Oh, it was so awesome. Robert got it at a bank. It was such a gratifying feeling and was just spectacular. So I'm very happy with how things are going so far. I'm excited to tell my employer that hey, I might need a little bit more time off because I got work coming. But I got to get that work coming first because these first couple of jobs are just taking the bucket and ready to go. So really excited about it all. Be concerned about what's been future will hold for JXM on a modem. It's just exciting. I'm trying to put work together the best I can and not let the margaritas win. It was a celebration night as well as a nice Friday night. So very excited to be where I am in the natural season. I'm in charge with all the fancy lights on. There's so much more I can talk about. I'm going to go ahead and take a quick break. He's got a lot of drive and light. We win. As of now, Rebecca, you are an amazing host. I love you so very much, my friend. I am honored to be in my friend group and be part of my small circle of friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Hope you are having a fantastic evening. Enjoy the ball. And Pat from the back, your other little horse there. And Al's president, Andy. So thank you for doing everything to my friends. I really do appreciate it. And I appreciate the whole PSRT group. And look forward to seeing everyone on the meeting, the four meetings tomorrow. I will try to be front of you even though I might be partially working at the same time. So we'll see how that goes. I can't, I'm rambling now because, yeah, the margaritas are talking. So thank you for what you do.

KJ7RAB33, Kami, please come ahead with your report! Well, great to be back! That's your Rebecca, Kami here, KJ7RAB33. Thank you, Robert! I'm driving just to be clear about that. And yeah, so date night was good. I ordered two, so I only bought one, I brought the other one home with me. Yes, I did! We heated pretty well. I've got it down to somewhere, I know how long to put it in my airwaves. To have it as a last over, so I'll have that tomorrow, most likely, or it won't be coming tonight, so yeah, tomorrow. What else? Oh, yeah, we were driving on some of the farm roads out here on the way home. Well, there's no traffic around, we could play with the auxiliary lighting, and I guess you turn out the lights on her hand and it's light, and holy moly, those ditch lights are really quite something. They're a newer version of the ones that Robert has on his Jeep, and it's got a low power and a high power, the low power are more driving lights, so it's illegal to drive with them on as normally, because they won't blind the people that are on coming, but holy moly, those high power ditch lights were really, really impressive, so I can't wait to try them out there in the wild, if you will, on the trails. And then the way bar is just beyond impressive, so we told Bree and Dana at the Field of Wheels, they need a new category for next year, and that category is Afraid of the Dark, and so we're hoping that they implement that new category, and that we win that category next year, because there will be even more lights by that time. I concur with Robert in that you're an amazing, impressive, fantastic net host, so thank you for all that you do. Thanks for getting us in, all the numbers to you, Rebecca, and I'm assuming that you're going to be at the Ice Cream Social on Sunday, so I'll look forward to seeing you then. This is Andy and Al Presidente as well. TJ7, R.A.V., I've got a lot of stuff that I need to do that I am just not finding time to do during the week, and I really need to catch up on a couple of things this weekend. Yes, because the house I'm living in is not my own, and I'm going to do projects I have started on somebody else's house. And, yeah, so there we go. 33Cami, I am glad that you have a snack for tomorrow. Yeah, that's fun. I'm glad you all had a good night, and again, congratulations to you both. It takes two, doesn't it? Good team work, and yeah, JXM automotive, here we come. Great. Who needs some lights? Who wants to put one of those spotlights on the front of their car? Or truck. Whatever.

I hope everyone's having a good evening. It's late in the hour in Oklahoma, but you know, it is what it is. But the middle of the dog days of summer out this way, so it's been pretty hot. So I've been in the world, working from home a little bit today, but also got videos that are coming up soon on the Node remote app for All Star Link. And I did two videos, one on the iOS version and one on the Android version. And Miss Rebecca from Seattle makes it into one of those videos, so you'll have to stay tuned for that. I just happened to connect in on Node remote to the All Star Node 2.462 and there you were conducting it. So look forward to that. Sounds really well. Thank you for doing the net tonight, Miss Rebecca. Hope everyone's having a great evening and it's always good to hear you. Y'all take care. This is KV5 FMU back to net control. Y'all have a good night. Thank you so much, Fred. I'll have to check it out. That's hilarious. My little squeaky voice is on the Ham Radio Crusader YouTube channel. I love it. But yeah, well, thank you, Fred. And yes, I know that you always listen and I always appreciate whenever you make time to check in. And remember that time you were tired? Anyway, keep yourself busy.

And have a little bit more news to tell you. My surgery for next Saturday is being canceled. My surgery for October is filled in. And they flew in in September. So I did September and then October. And then all done. I hope. There's no more changes. So, October, September. And I think, I think, it won't be here. I think the tower is complete. I just have to crank it up now. I got all the cable links. I got the rotor. A right direction. You know, it takes a couple of times to turn that. Yeah. To turn that rotor. To get it right. And the right security. To all the time to stop. And you got to calibrate it with the rotor and the machine. And then you got to do that with the computer. But goodness, it's like so many different calibrations. But anyway, I think the guy is all done now. So, maybe I'll try to use it. I don't know. It's what I paid all that money for. It's good money. And then I used the electric wedge just yet. Because I wanted to have you water for that. And then everything else would be done. And I got a question for Robert. If he could call me. I think I have enough time to help. I think I have enough time to help. Hold on. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November Quebec November all star node six two two two. Good time to help. Should we continue with a report. Rebecca. I got a question for Robert. On inverters. Or DC powered supply. I'm trying to get the tightest movement on the rotor. On the crank up. I'll talk about that later. All right, that's about all I got. And not only does. Robert have an affection for you. I don't know why. You know, but I don't know we'll talk about that later. We're back up. This is DC to steal back. Thank you so much for that. That's exciting that it's finally in the last. Yeah, that's why you spent all that money. And yeah, just keep us updated on your surgeries. And, yeah, I'm glad that you're staying positive about it. Charlie and have a great weekend and I look forward to more of your work. Right now that was the end of that round and I'm going to pause for announcements. Right. Let's see here. This is Rebecca KK seven I J said, and you're listening to the PS or G nine o'clock net. We do three nets a day. 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. here on the W W seven PS are. Seattle, Washington. I'm actually located south of Seattle in University Place, Washington. Yeah. Check out everything PS RG at PS RG dot org PS RG dot o RG. You can become a member. You can use our remote H.S. station, which is really cool. And it's great. And what is the meaning. What else is I going to say? Oh, yeah. There are two reoccurring events every Saturday. So every Saturday there is the radio club of Tacoma has an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And they do have a real clubhouse here in Tacoma. It's worth a drive. It's worth a visit. It's such a cool place. And it's just this real clubhouse in the middle of a neighborhood and a really cool part of Tacoma. They always have food and donuts and coffee and cokes. And there's always like pizza in the freezer and you can heat it up in the microwave and you can hang out with radio operators. And you can check out the museum. They have a museum on the top floor. Such a cool place. And so that's 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday. And also on Saturday is simplex net, which is a great way to test equipment and just to keep up radio practice. So the simplex net is in the Seattle area at 8 p.m. And the frequency is one four six five six one four six five six. And on Sunday. On Sunday. This coming Sunday, August 10th is our next Rain or Shine, which is an opportunity to hang out with a bunch of us PSRG ham radio club members. Yeah, just a bunch of ham radio operators and somebody in person could face names to faces, call signs to faces. So much fun. And this Sunday, the Rain or Shine is going to be a green lake. And it's an ice cream social. And always a bunch of dogs. And ice cream and just a whole bunch of us. It's so much fun. Green Lake by the Green Lake Cafe and boat launch. You'll see a bunch of flags and antennas and pop up tents and just come hang out, have some coffee and. Yeah, just come and hang out with us. So much fun. Rain or shine. Sunday. And Robert will be hosting the next. It's going to be great. And it will be ice cream. I scream. I scream. You scream. We all scream for ice cream. But anyway. Yeah. So let's carry on with the next. This is Rebecca. KK seven. I J said. R. And Internet. The C. J. And I got. No vendor to read. I'll skip my God. I'm in. Hello, Rebecca. Hi, I got you on the list. And Lisa. K. Seven. Why J? Your call sign and you're on the link. Good to hear from you. Thirty three. And I got you on the list. More stations, please. Now. And I got. And I know a. And I like that. She. Do you. Hold the big switch. She. Good night, Charlie. And I'll tell you where you. I call seven. I was. Darn. All right. I'm going to go ahead and draw a line there because I want to. For she falls asleep now that she's no longer. She's reluctantly no longer a night owl. And three. Oh, okay. Seven. I J said. Hello, Rebecca. This is in three. Oh, no. Okay. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. On a very wet. Good evening here. We had quite a bit of rain early. And the funniest story was when my brother went to take Jasper out. He hates to get any. On his head. But he had to go. You know where. So he runs. And he. And he. He. Under the carpet. The car port. He needs to go. To get outside. Peter station. I'm going to call for. And he knows what he has to do. To get to the house. And. And. It was the funniest thing. Jasper. Just keeps us laughing all the time. Anyway, I thought that was funny to tell you. And. I came to a decision tonight. Call our gas company on Monday. And see if they work with anyone around here. I. I kept seeing this. Advertisement on TV for the general. Generator. And the. $500. But I do not want my house to be. Without our. For the. Air conditioning or a freezer. In the refrigerator. Because we wouldn't know how long we would be out. So I decided it would be a good investment. To get the gas company. From where to talk to us. Gas company first. And see if they provide the generators. Or if they. No other companies that they work with. In the city or the surrounding area. Because I want to give the gas company. Order for the profane and get to take the men. Because we have a propane hot water heater in gas stove. And I really want to give. As far as the. The business for the gas. But I have to see. How we go about getting this done. So that's what I'll be doing on Monday. And that's really about. My women's club. Women's club. P. Sure. Right. P.E.O. philosophical. Educational. Organization. And then. We'd like to take money. To give him the kitty. What it would be. If we were to bake something. From scratch. So I'm going to go on. What I would. Have done if we had baked. Again. And see if I can figure out about. How much I would need to take for that. As a fun. I think that's kind of neat. And. So that's really all. I hope everybody has a great weekend. And we'll talk to you again. Rebecca. Thanks for doing such a great job. I don't know how you do it. November three. Oscar Mike Oscar. 70 degrees 88 to all. Well thank you for the kind work Elaine. I appreciate it. You know I do it because I love it. I love hosting nets. It's my favorite part about ham radio. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love the image of Jasper. Had to go to go potty. And could not get his princess toes wet. That is so funny. I. It is so funny. It's so funny when dogs don't like water. Or when they don't like water. And dogs don't like water. It is so funny when dogs don't like water. Or don't like to get wet. Ugh. Andy. It is like you are just dumping acid on her head. Oh she'll hold it until she just can't anymore. Oh it's so funny. I used to yeah. Just like pick her up. And then just. Oh. It's so funny. That's so funny. Thank you for sharing that story. That is hilarious. And yes have fun at your women's meeting tomorrow. Your P.E.O. Philanthropic Educational Organization. Say that ten times fast right? 33 and 88 Elaine. Have a wonderful weekend with your brother. And all of your animals. Alright next on the list is Lisa. On Echolink. 33 Lisa. KC7BYJ. KK7IJZ. Hey there Joel. Yes good evening. And yes I get to hear Elaine's voice. And the Jasper story is funny. And as far as dropping acid on Jasper's head. She wouldn't like that either because it is also a liquid. So there you go. But as far as P.E.O. I had an elder friend who was a member of P.E.O. And it sounds like a good organization. As far as I don't know if JSM Automotive is still on the line. But congratulations. I think that's a really good argument for continuing to write paper checks. Because now you can deposit it remotely. And then you can put the canceled check on your wall. Instead of if somebody gives you a hundred dollar bill as your first payment. Then if you're going to put that on the wall it doesn't work as well. And but so as far as all of our friends in who own homes or have reasonable landlords. And live in dark roofed places. I'd say look into using reflective paint on your roof. And it should drop the temperature a bit. So that is my suggestion for evening. And as far as date night. What is the phenomenon of which you speak date night? And what time is the circle on Sunday? And I think I will try to go. GC7 BYJ. Thanks for running the net. Aww Lisa. So yeah JSM Automotive. Yeah Robert and Cami just started a business. Which is amazing. And so all of the things. Date night. So Friday night they always have. It's their designated date night. So JSM and RAB. Cami and Robert. Friday evening is date night. So I always try and bring attention to that. Because I think that's awesome. If they could do that. They make time for date night. And they'll be there on Sunday. And I can either text you or email you the information about the Ice Cream Social. I know that everyone will be happy to see you there. It's been a long time. Lisa it's so good to hear you. Don't be afraid of Echo Link. Please come in and join the nets. I love hearing from you. 33 and all the numbers Lisa. KC7 BYJ. KK79 JZ. And next we had an I.O. from Cody. And we had a good night. Good evening from Charlie. That's the end of that list. So I'll go ahead and do last call. Last call for the 9 p.m. social net. Last call. TJ7 Victor Echo Uniform. Mike. Hey Mike.

I just wanted to explain what PEO stands for, I know you know what it stands for, but what we do is help women with scholarships so they can go to college. And it's a wonderful organization. And then of course, the meetings are held once a month at three different churches. And we take turns every, you know, each month for three months. And then, um, we always go out to lunch afterwards, so that always makes it fun too. So I just wanted to throw that in. Thanks, Rebecca. November 3rd, I'll do my concert. Well, thank you for coming back with that explanation. Yeah, I love it. I love, yeah, I love that. I love that you do that, and it's just a consistent thing that you've done. That's, yeah, that's amazing. Education. Education comes in all forms, and yeah, that's awesome. I love it. I love that you do that. And, yeah, again, thank you so much for coming back with that explanation about PEO, Philanthropic Education Organ- Organization. Alright, next on the list is Mike in Magnolia, KJ7VEU. Please come ahead with your report. Hi, Rebecca and Lynette. Um, yeah, uh, PEO is a new, uh, TLA for me. Um, and, uh, I think I've ever been a doctor that didn't know what a TLA was. And, uh, there's a, there's a business with a lot of TLAs in it. It's like any, a lot of, anybody uses TLAs every day. And many of them don't even know it. Uh, but, uh, just don't, just don't. It means three letter acronym. Um, and, uh, you know, I know a few. I wondered, uh, if you took the, the, the, the AAA, Triple Z, and you randomized them as a, as a, uh, a sequence, like, you know, ham radio licenses are. And, uh, and then look at one-on-one at a time and think of how many acronyms or abbreviations or what for each one you have. And then, um, add them up. Now, I suppose that number is probably about as big as a Googleplex. But, I don't know. I, I would think a mathematician would be able to figure out the number of combinations between, you know, like, in fact, AAA, Triple X is a great band name. I, I thought that's about fantastic. Which is, you know, is about as best, as good as it gets for a band name. Um, so, anyways, there's a big number for you to consider. Uh, have a good night everybody. And 73T, Rebecca, good, uh, to check in on your net. KJ7VEU. Well, thanks for that, Mike. I was, yeah. Fun facts. Fun facts with Mike from Magnolia. And his cat, Katrina. Well, 73, Mike, thank you so much for stopping by. And, yeah. Yeah, thanks so much for stopping by. I'm obviously getting tired. Here we are. But next, it's Megan. K9MLR, KK7, IJZ33, Megan. Good evening to you, Rebecca, and everyone out there on the net. K9MLR, Megan, here at Pullman, Newcastle. 33, back to you there, Rebecca, and all the other wilds out there. I heard Lisa and Elaine, and I know others are out there too. Just finally relaxing here, Rebecca. Well, sort of. I'm not sure if I can do this, but I can probably do this. Make the bed. She's in the dryer, so I still have to do that. But the office is all prepped and ready for him to come work on it this weekend. What a project that was. Lots of things to reorganize when we get it all put back together, but it's going to look beautiful. So, looking forward to that. We went to Red Robin and had a little date night for dinner, so that was nice. I'm just kind of fluttering around. There's lots to do, you know, that goes. Sending it back to you. Thanks for doing the net. 73, K9MLR. Fireworks appetizers at Red Robin. What's up? French fries and broccoli. Well, that's great. Yeah, that's fun. I'm excited to see your gray office. You're excited about gray. But there'll be no more popcorn ceiling. Well, 33, Megan. Have a wonderful night, and I'm glad that y'all had a fun date night at Red Robin. All right, next on the list is Brooks K9 BDC. What's going on, Brooks? Well, good evening, Rebecca and everyone at K9 BDC. Brooks here. Well, Rebecca, I think the color is going to be great. Get it? Great. Oh, man. Oh, let's see. It's been a busy week. It feels really good to have the office all prepped up. Yeah, it took me a lot of time to get everything out of there, and threw a bunch of stuff away. Got some stuff packed up. I still have some more things to get rid of. Got the old desk all disassembled in parts, and it's a quick open dumpster eventually. But then, yeah, so looking forward to tomorrow, the board meeting, and then Sunday the rain or shine, and then, yeah, hopefully Sunday evening the office will be all done and I can start putting the desk together. So, a lot's going on, but that's all right. It is Friday night, and we are just hanging out relaxing and listening to the net now. So, and it was, let's see, the appetizers for me were mozzarella twists. Yeah. Anyway, thanks for doing that, Rebecca. Set up for you, everyone. And radio waves from the K9s, Tracy and Matt. K9 BDC. Hey, Tracy. Ah, I get it. I get it. Great. Um, just so, I keep on thinking every time I say that I'm like, oh yeah, remember that time I picked a grey color from Cami's bedroom? Ah, anyway, it's going to be beautiful. I love it. A new desk, a new everything. A new everything. Just taking care of your house. Why not make your house your home? Why not? That's great. This is Office N60 and Levy. It's going to be great. I love it. Great. It's going to be great. Well, 73 and 88 to you both, and so many kisses to Trixie and Remy. And you'll have a fun filled, busy, busy weekend. Of course. Alright. This is Rebecca KK7IJZ. Next on the list, we have an I from Jason. And then we have an N from VK4YEO. Maybe.

This is the first time on the All Star Note. I've only been on a net for about a week. Mainly due to all the videos there that KV5FMU, Freddie, made me put out. So thank you, Freddie. Oh, that's amazing. I love that. Welcome. We're the Puget Sound Repeater Group up here in Seattle, Washington, and, yeah, in the United States, obviously. So, yeah, I'm really excited to be here. So, yeah, put our All Star Note as one of your favorites and come back and visit us. Come back and visit us. We want to hear what's going on in Brisbane. We usually have... There's someone else new. Why can't I find this call sign? Let me see. Oh, yes, we have another Brisbane operator that checks in pretty frequently to... Nope, can't find... Nope. I can't find his call sign, but anyway, that's okay. But, yeah, Fred checks in all the time as well. And just in case you didn't know, he retired. He works so much. He does so much. But that's great. Don't be nervous. You sounded amazing. Come back. Come back and visit us. Our All Star Note is 2462, and we're also a really active repeater, which is kind of a unique thing. So even if you're just, you know, farting around the house and just want someone to chat with, have a quick Q, so throw your call sign out, and there's a 100% chance that someone will call back and be happy to have a Q, so with you. So, well, that's great. Thank you so much for joining us tonight. And it's good to know that we still exist in the future.

So how about you? How long have you been in the hobby? Well, since January of 2023, a month later, I was on the vacation. If not, I spent about a month doing nothing but skateboarding. And I was playing on the web based on your website. And then I was taking my kitchen time and I take my general and I say, wow, it's interesting. And I've been hooked. It's my favorite area.

And that's where it gets frustrating, because trying to hold him in when he wants out is near on impossible. But other than that, Kevin, I won't keep it down too long, man. Um, I am here, and should be here, because I'm not tired, so, um, I got plenty of sleep. I was actually awake about an hour before the net started this morning, so, um, and I woke up and everything was still connected, which is great, because I did it before bed last night, and, uh, everything stayed up. So, we're still having a minor, let me reset one more time. We're still having some minor internet issues up here. It's very sporadic now, um, but it is still happening. I did notice that wonky behavior last night with the All-Star Note again, with the repeater kept disconnecting, everything kept disconnecting, so, I don't know. It's on my parents right now, anyway. I was talking to my old man about it last night, and he's been experiencing some issues, too, so, um, we're ever so closer to calling the company. You wouldn't think that would be so difficult, but with my parents, oh, man, it's difficult. Um, I'll be here, V01UKZ with the cowabunga net. V01UKZ, KM1X, well, glad to hear you got a good night's sleep, and, uh, sounds like it's gonna be a great day weather-wise, at least here, and I'm sure over there, because we've had great weather the last few days, so I would think our weather is making its way over to you. And so, uh, a good day to, uh, be well-rested, I think, um, and if you can get that bike fixed, um, it's certainly gonna be a great day to be out and about. I know that, uh, I, uh, I'm gonna be busy inside making spaghetti sauce today, and you were talking about your technical issues. My, uh, local 2-meter repeater has been, for the better part of the last month, we've had some, uh, Alpha Hotel who has been, uh, basically jamming. It started out there is a, uh, a weekly net on Sunday evenings, and this person started out by jamming that net. And now it's he or she has, uh, taken to just, throughout the day, uh, doing jamming, either just, you know, kurchunking non-stop, or once they hear people talking, uh, they'll just, uh, start playing music. I don't even know how they're doing this. But you would think that since it's been going on, I mean, sometimes they'll just shut the whole repeater down so that no one, including the jammer, can get on it, but that kind of defeats the purpose. Um, and other than, you know, trying to do a little fox hunt, um, which is gonna take a lot of resources, I think, I don't know how they're gonna get, catch this guy, to be honest with you. Um, but hopefully, uh, it won't last much longer, because it's getting to be a bit of a pain. So, I understand what you're going through there, Jarrell, with the stuff that you're working with to try to get the system, you know, running properly. And we thank you for your service. Alright, let's go to Kevin, VA3, KKY. Kevin, what's going on, brother? Uh, you got a big weekend plans? Uh, and, uh, Wendell, what, does school go year round for you where you work, or were they out for the summer, and are they gonna be starting up again here soon? Uh, over to you, Kevin. Well, uh, it's a regular year, as far as I know, right to where we kinda know the school year starts out, uh, on Labor Day, uh, holiday, and usually ends, uh, somewhere, somewhere in the middle of June before July, like, uh, the, the, uh, well, I know last year, cause, see, I don't even remember what it was this year, it was like the 28th or something, so it was really cool. So it was really close to July that, uh, the kids were off. Um, and let's see, how is everybody? I hadn't been in here forever. Um, I, I just been sleeping through a lot of the nets, and just work, work, work, work, work, I, you know, got some messages about certain things happening, yep, mute the manic situation, don't be heaps cool, okay, I got that. Uh, I wasn't hostile about it ever. I was most just like, look, how you go pick up a job like Sunday and then just walk away from it. So I had said that, I remember I had said that, and, uh, I guess at some point I was just gonna ask, I was just gonna ask to recall it, and, uh, I hadn't changed when I said, hey, look, if you're gonna be crazy, you know, I mean, come on then, uh, how's that gonna work out? Don't give yourself important jobs if you're out of your mind. So that's all I said, uh, I remembered it while I was off, but I, I, I've said it in, uh, occasional Q-Soles. We had a pretty, uh, crazy and important hip-hop death that took place on Monday, Howie, uh, Howie T from, uh, Full Force. And he was a big producer, right? He produced like a lot of groups, the Real Rock Band, a few others. He passed away, and, uh, I don't know how he, how the hell that happened. I suddenly heard, hey, if TMZ doesn't know, um, then you're pretty much screwed. There is supposed to have a, there's supposed to be a pipeline on all of this, so if they have no idea, then, uh, then you're messed up. Uh, well, that is kind of why I walked away from regular 2-meters here in Toronto. Uh, it kind of started before the 2000s. Yeah, there were too many jammers on, nobody was doing anything about it. The repeat owners seemed to just kind of, uh, let it, you know, roll through. They took it in their strides, and I was like, I'm out of here. Um, there's, there's, yes, people from Scarborough. Not only does that, but a lot of times, you know, when people do the, the, the conjunctive and keying up. Um, and I said this in the 90s, I honestly think sometimes it's hands that are bored, because you just kind of figure no one's gonna see what you're doing, so that you can get away with, uh, keying up your mic 30,000 times. Uh, and yeah, a T-hunt works. Usually it does. Usually when people know you've found them, it kind of changes the game a little bit. Of course, too, they can play the game forever to where, uh, you still have to find them. So I got tired of a lot of it, and I at least ostensibly knew somewhere like Echoing would be, uh, immune to it. And for the most part, it usually is. Um, it's kind of like on Do-Drop. I think the majority of the, uh, heckling and the bad T-ups would come from the RF gateways where people, where you couldn't do anything about it, right? Like here. Um, if somebody came in on someone's particular RF, all you'd be able to do is mute them and just kind of know, okay, maybe something's coming across Darrow or something's coming across someone else. Uh, but you know, it happens all the time across, uh, systems where, you know, there's these little links people are gonna be able to get through on HTs, and there's nothing you can do to stop it. But for the most part, um, well, cause one of the people that I used to hate here in Scarborough, he's just a major stooge. Everybody makes fun of him. It's this guy, Bruce, VA3YTV. You know, he's a black and white, right? It's one reason. And another reason is, if you get him talking, he speaks like a speed freak, right? And he, it's like a lot of hot air. And so it was like, okay, well, guys like that don't go to heckling. And so there was that situation. And then, um, we would also kind of avoid, there were certain characters and certain people we avoided just because they were just known to be bad. Like one was the Barra, right? Uh, the Buffalo Amateur Radio Association. It got around to blind people that they're not very friendly to us, so stay off their systems. They used to be all over the place. So when you lived, at least in the footprint of it, you know, 90 miles, um, and for a while I lived in, um, Medina, where my mother's lived for many years. You couldn't avoid it. It's like they were everywhere. So the best thing to do, um, it used to be said that those losers don't get on Echolink. Another one that's really bad, uh, we just didn't get off on the right foot. He ended up, he used to block me all the time when he would see me with that dick Langer, WB2JPQ. I think honestly he's as bad as what they say about some of the Barra guys. He now runs East Coast Reflector. I don't know how they do or what they do. I just never, never would be a part of anything he's a part of. So then in turn, anything they're a part of. So through the blind community and through other people, he's gotten a bad name. Um, and, uh, some people call him a common CB'er, so he's somebody to avoid. So there was a lot of characters that I kind of walked away from just even getting on Echolink. Um, certain aspects are still there and other aspects, uh, it's basically, uh, you know, a safe haven up to a certain point. Cause I think here, mostly you're almost totally protected from trouble. I mean, you'll get some on occasion, but mostly it's, it's easy. It's a lot easier to filter. So I even say, if you would have asked me in the nineties going into the two thousands, I would have said, why would you even want to go on any of the local frequencies? I would have said, they're pretty stupid yo. Who wants to get on and talk to, um, uh, Lloyd, uh, Midnight on Seminole Street and doesn't have a license in the first place? Or, uh, what is it Dan, the caretaker? That's who he was on CB? So he uses the E3IS."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T05:24:59+00:00","id":15391,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15390,"text":" Yeah, very good. Morning, Kevin. Morning, Terrell. Morning, Kevin. Morning, Josh. Everybody else is checked in. Yeah, not too much going on here now. We're just, you know, relaxing. Ah. Gotta go buy mom her birthday gift. Her birthday's tomorrow. She turns seven. She's bored of the world. Little buyer thing today, because I don't usually like to shop on Sundays. So I'll get it done today, and then it's all over with. So yeah. I don't have too many plans today, Kevin. Just that, maybe, and just to get the cans and bottles back to the bottle recycling place. Yeah, this probably needs 10 cents a can instead of five. So that's not too bad. So I've got three big bags in the garage, and shit I gotta take back. We'll do that today, and hopefully get them out of here. And then, yeah, we'll figure out what happens. We'll just play it by ear for the rest of the day to see what happens. So back to you, Kevin. I'll be here. E1WINKM1X. Yeah, the, uh, I mean, I don't drink a lot of soda or anything that comes in. I mean, I guess I drink bottled water, and that's a nickel a bottle. I don't even bother recycling. I figure that nickel is a tax that you pay on disposal. You know, they're like, OK, you can pay an extra five cents and dispose of it any way you want, or you can pay five cents and we'll give you your five cents back, you know, when you recycle. And I just don't want to, it would take so long for me to accumulate enough to return that I just pitch them when I get them. I mean, at work, if we have recycled bins and stuff, I'll toss them in there. But if I'm at home the rare times that I'm drinking soda or something in a bottle, I just toss it. I know that it's going to get picked out when they, you know, when they go through the trash anyway, so it'll end up getting recycled. So I'm not too worried about feeling that my bottle's going to end up in a landfill. All right, let's see, who's next? Josh, KJ5, IRQ, good morning to you, sir. How are you? Welcome to the Cowabunga Net. Sounds like that hot weather that you guys have had, you're going to share it with us. And I can't tell you how grateful I am. Can you hear the dripping sarcasm in that statement? Good morning, Josh. What are you up to today? Mikey's yours. KM1X, this is KJ5 IRQ. And a happy Sunday morning to you and to everybody participating and listening to the net today. I'm parked outside my son's work waiting for him to get out of work today. And that's a beautiful morning. That's a good old video of it. Oh, I'm going to work a little bit on the chicken coop when I get back until it gets too hot. And I don't mind sharing the heat, Kevin. I don't mind at all. Today's only going to be 104. You know, I've actually been grabbing about the heat this year, and I grab about it more and more every summer. I don't think it's really getting that much harder for us, to be honest. I mean, it's probably just as hot as it's ever been. But man, I'm sure I'm taking it harder. You know, I do not like the heat. As the great Dr. Seuss would say about green eggs and ham, I say the same about humidity and heat. I'm fixing to post a video I made on AI just messing around this morning on the drop-in Facebook and Discord pages. It's kind of cute and fun. They're all approved. And so, yeah, just messing around. You know, I am really enjoying just playing. I mean, I'm not trying to make magic personally off of it or playing work that isn't bad. I mean, for the sake of this space, AI makes the job a whole lot easier if you wanted to create something. Now that I've been doing it for a while, I wouldn't say I am a creator. I think I am more of a pump door. You know, with AI, you've got to pump it, and you've got to pump it just right. And the words mean everything. And the placement and grammar, I mean, it's almost like you have to be a linguistic expert to be a great prompter. So I don't know if anybody's interested in that, but that's kind of what I'm thinking about today. Like I said, playing us a little video stuff while I'm waiting on the kid to get out of work. The kid, he's not even a kid anymore. He's I think 21 now. Yeah, he ain't got a vehicle. That's a source of contention between us. That's because he'd rather spend his money coming to Florida or California rather than see what I'm getting in the car. So I had to put a front down for that the other day. So he's not super happy with Pop right now, but he'll be all right. Man, I can't even guess. It's going to be a great Saturday. I can feel it, OK? And my dogs are in the truck, and if you can't hear them yelling, every yelling, growling, every time somebody walks by, I say, they just want to say hello in the most unfriendliest germs possible. All right, I've burned up two minutes and 40 seconds. Welcome back to UKM1X, Kevin. I'm glad you're hosting this Saturday morning. Over to you. KJ5 IRQKM1X. It's funny you bring up AI because I am currently enrolled in an online course through Vanderbilt University on building my own EPT. It's pretty interesting how you can, I mean, what I'm going to end up building, I don't know for sure, but it seems pretty interesting. I think, I mean, I'm learning how to build one. I've got to determine what I would want to build it for. I mean, whether I want to incorporate it in work. You could easily, easily build one, for instance, for ham radio, for people that are looking to take, I mean, they have already these apps, but they're trying to take their license. I mean, you could have one for blind people, where it will read the questions from the question pool. And you could, rather than have to type in your answer, you could voice your answer and it would respond. And it always starts out with, you know, what teaching us is, how supportive do you want it to be? I mean, you could tell it to be over the top so that whenever you ask it something, it's just going to come back with this, oh my goodness, I am so glad you asked that question or something like that. Or, you know, it could be more professional. So it's pretty interesting. I've got to decide what I want to do with this skill when I'm done with it. But I figure, that's the way. I don't know, if I got to work for another 10 years, I could see a lot of jobs being eliminated from AI. So I got to try to stay ahead of the curve. So that's what I'm going to do. Ron, 884 HO, how are you today? I don't know about you, but I had an excellent day in the market yesterday. I will probably never have a better day than I had yesterday. And I expect there'll be some sell-off come Monday, but I'm thrilled with what happened yesterday. But I hope you're doing well. Is tonight a karaoke night, or is it a steak dinner night, or what's it going to be? Fill us in on your plans. Over to you, Ron. Yeah, good morning, Kevin. Good morning, Jeff. Everybody participating in the teleprompter net on the drop-in? I started scaling in as of Thursday. And I almost got three, but I'm going to wait till Monday. And you know how many I sometimes accumulate? It's getting to be the kind of market you can hold on to stuff a little longer and wait a little longer to sell. So I'll have to adapt to that. But I don't think I sell too soon, because most of the ones that I own that I sold, I can buy back now at a lower price, except for one. Let's see. I am looking at the ticket that I have that I had to pre-purchase for the rib dinner tonight that I'll be attending. I have it at the lodge that's closer to me. And I prefer the one closer to me, because I've got to drive between 8 and 10 miles for the other one. And if I can get two events in a week apart in one, and two in the other, that gives me enough to at least out once a week. I'm learning and playing with stepper motors right now. I got this laser projector a long time ago. It's about three years old. And it projects to the ceiling. And it's real nice. I enjoyed it. But the stars stopped bursting. And the background nebula stopped wisping. So I didn't know that at the time, it utilized stepper motors, which is the same motors like you would use if in an air conditioner, open and close looper doors, or in a camera, say, if you wanted to zoom in and zoom out. But they come in a whole host of different flavors. There's five and 12 volt ones with different diameters. The first two numbers designate the diameter. So the first one I bought was too small. And it was long voltage too, because I needed 12 volts. And then I went and bought another one. And then it was too big. I needed a 24 in diameter. And I got one that was 28 millimeters in diameter instead. But I really like this device. And I can't get a replacement device. I quite like it. The second one, I did buy another one while I was waiting for the part. And that one I wasn't happy with, because if it stays on for a little while, some of the stars disappear, because it overheats. I can't have that. So I bought a more expensive one. So when I fix this one, I'll have three of them. So I'll end up giving away one. But the one I got now is awesome. It covers a lot more of the ceiling, starburst. The door is going crazier. Hey, hey, hey. Some noise outside. All these patterns I'm looking at right now. And I'll add a wish, more windiness to the net right in the background. And beautiful different patterns that appear and disappear. And wheels and stars and everything. So I'm satisfied with that. I think definitely I'll keep the one I fixed. I got the right one this morning this time. And it's going to be your Sunday. And I'll be able to slap that in and keep that one, give away the one, the first one up, or keep the second one that's running right now. All right, guys, that's enough for me on this go around. I did look up the Beatles' White Album, number nine song. That's number one going into it. AA4-H-O on here. I'll throw it back to Kevin. Hey, hey, four-H-O-K-M1-X. We got a double that time. We got you and the dog. And yeah, the White Album, I mean, there are plenty of people that will argue that the White Album is the Beatles' greatest album. And I think that was the beginning of the end for the Beatles. That was when they were really, you know, in deep with the drugs. And I didn't care for it. I really didn't. And Revolution number nine is one of their worst songs. It's not even a song. It's just noise. So yeah, not a fan. And we'll leave it at that. Maybe I'm opening a can of worms here, but no, not a fan. KM4-QBC Jeff, good morning to you. How are you today? How's little dog? You guys making breakfast? What is it, sausage gravy? And biscuits? And how are the temperatures there? They're starting to curve back up. I know that Chuck was saying they were very nice the last few days. And what are your plans for the weekend? Well, what do you, my friend? KM4-QBC. Hopefully you can hear me okay. Kevin, I am using a different phone this morning to get on Echo Link. So I'm on call for work, so I have my other phone ready for that. So I am going to try to stay on the net, Kevin. But if you call me and I'm not there, just go ahead and take me on. And I'll text you if I'm able to come back, but we have one in jail right now. He got into it with his daughter last night, I think is what they said. But anyway, I've got to handle that. And then I've already fed little dog. She's good to go. She's already been outside and used the bathroom. I'm heating up the oven now for some, I think I will have some biscuits. Good idea, Kevin. Thanks for mentioning that. I think I'll have the biscuits. I think I'll go with the bacon and eggs this morning. So that's where I'm at. That's what I'm doing. And duty calls. So hopefully I'll be around, but if I'm not around the next time, just go ahead and take me off, Kevin, and I'll come back when I get all this done. And I'll text you if I'm able to reach on or I'll call back and text Washington or something. But everything's good, brother. It's 65 degrees. It's supposed to get up to 79. So temperatures are inching back up. It's just been so hot and muggy here, it's crazy. Welcome to the tropical rainforest, western North Carolina. The great Smokies and the Appalachian Mountain range. It's been hot this year, brother, I can tell you that. And we've had some pouring down rainstorms, too. Anyway, thanks for taking my call, Kevin, and I'll try to be around. We'll see how it goes. K.M. Port QVC. Good morning, everyone. K.M. 4 QVC, K.M. 1X. Well, we'll keep our fingers crossed that you're able to stay with us. You say 65. I've got 62 here, so we're not that far apart. And, yeah, we're supposed to get around 80 here today. And then tomorrow it's going to get even hotter. And then Monday and Tuesday we're in the 90s and the But it is August, and we got spoiled because the last 10 days, as I said, were perfect. Highs in the mid-70s, upper 70s, and just gorgeous. But we know that months from now we will have it all behind us, and then we creep back down towards winter. All right, now let's go to gray. GC2, PKG, and then we'll go to the blue. Now let's go to gray, GC2, PKG. Gray, I know you love the snow, but you've got to admit you've got to love this last week to 10 days worth of weather. It's been perfect. And how are things in your neck of the woods? What have you been up to? What's the cat count up to these days? Over to you. What's the cat count up to? AM1X, this is KC2, PKG. East was Chinese, Maine. What's the good news? Lizzie came back 4-3 this morning, climbed up in the window and started yelling at me. So that's a good thing. That's for a two-day walkabout. So that was a short one. And she is crashed. She got a lot to eat. She's got a lot of food. She got a lot to eat and then put her little head down and that was the end of her. I'm going to spend the day getting ready for dinner party tonight. We're having people from the food pantry over. Something my wife's wanted to do for quite a while. And it'll be a pretty good sized dinner. But I have a lot of picking up and cleaning up and straightening out and other stuff to do. And you know, I don't know how far they're going to walk around, how much exploring they're going to do. Because that means other rooms have to be put together and straightened out and all that stuff. So I'm hoping they all just stay in our kitchen, living room, dining room area. And I don't have to worry about it. I will have to make sure there's enough toilet paper in the nearby bathroom. But I've got that to do today. So it's going to be pretty busy. And as for the last 10 days being perfect weather, it's been nicer. It's definitely been nicer, but it's still hot. I'm still sweating bullets just from doing the least amount of stuff. But I'm not happy about that. I really cannot wait for the summer to be over. I really can't. And let's get more and more like that every year. And I still don't even have a boat in the water, which flabbergasts me. I cannot believe I'm having a fun time. Although guests are starting to come. Let me drop this for a second. Or guests are on their way. Tuesday, a really good friend of ours and his wife are coming, and they'll be down in the boathouse. And it might be Sunday tomorrow that there's some ranchers coming to Camp 2. And I think Camp 2 is completely ready, certainly for them. Because they don't have any animals or anything. There's some pet guards and things like that that we are going to finish up. My son will definitely need that, because he always brings his cats out in the woods with the cats. So that's what's going on here today, just sort of gearing up to clean up and straighten up and then be entertaining. So back to you. K.M.1X, this is KC2PKG. KC2PKG, K.M.1X. Wow, you guys are very, very busy between hosting the dinner party and then hosting the folks in the camps. You've got your hands full. And glad to hear the cats back. I think it's funny that you think the cats are having a good snooze now, like, you know, man, no big deal. But I hope the party goes well tonight. You'll have to keep us posted. Look forward to the proverbial post-mortem on Monday. And it sounds like Wes is feeling well, too. Better if she's finally able to host something like this. So that's good. Let's go to work now. K.M.1X, PFD. Good morning to you, sir. How are you today? I'm guessing that you're still making progress on your recovery. And what are your plans for the weekend? Over to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T05:27:51+00:00","id":15392,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15391,"text":" And definitely I'm a lot better than I really thought I was. So that's good. My first day back at work, I was standing on a slightly unlevel ground. And I was working in some rocks and gravel. And that just started irritating me a little bit. Or shall I say, strengthening me. But at this point, I finally got someone to help me. The first two weeks of this job, every once in a while, they'd send a college kid over. You know what a college kid is. But this week, they finally sent out a really good electrician. And we're running some two-inch pipe across the garage. And I'm on a lift. So it makes things a lot easier. I can get my lift set up the way I want it. I put a board on it to hold stuff. And at the end of the day, I just throw all the tools that I'm using for that job and all the hardware back in my cart and back in my truck. And it makes it real easy to end the day and start the day. But the atmosphere over there is not that great. I don't know what the problem is with the project manager, about why he's turned and angry and just miserable and worried about you use this anchor on this wall. Those are only for the ceiling, blah, blah, blah. And it really doesn't matter. Anchors are anchors. So the dude has gone crazy to the point where I'm pretty much done. I'm ready to, I'm just waiting. Hopefully, something else comes up. And I never have to see that guy again. But we'll see what happens. Pause to reset. Other than that, you know, it's set. So I don't have to think about it. But I'm trying to think what else here. Did I see you guys? I don't remember if I talked to you guys last Saturday or not. So this could be a repeat. And if it is, I'm sorry. Friday, two weeks ago, on a Friday, I sold my Indian. And last Friday, I picked up my Can-Am Spider RT. I think I told you guys about this. So I picked it up last Friday, rode it home. And Jane was out in Iowa on vacation with her sister. I was supposed to be on vacation too. We were going to go to Florida. But since I'm back to work, that all got kiboshed. So she was out at her place. So when I got home, I loaded up my bike and put my dog carrier in Jane's spot where she normally sits and put Scooter in the carrier. And he took his hour and a half trek to our place. And he hadn't been on the bike in a while. So I stopped every half an hour. It's an hour and a half trip. But I stopped every half an hour to let him out and let him know everything's OK and stuff. And he did pretty well. So this weekend, we'd like to do some riding. But it looks like it could be rainy. So we don't know what's going on. And Jane's complaining about her helmet. And she's like, I don't want to wear it. I don't want to wear it. And so we're going to look at new helmets. She was on Amazon looking. And I said, you know, we're not getting a cheap Chinese helmet to protect your life. Your life is worth more than that. So we're going to the dealer to see if he has something that's comfortable and fits like a glove and will make her happy. But again, we'll have to pay out on that. Anyways, other than that, we're planning a ride tomorrow. And between the raindrops to Galena. It's a nice little town. And if you ever get to northern Illinois, it's a great little day of all these little shops on this road and all these bedding breakfasts. And you can just go to Galena. And you feel like you're in another part of the country when you get to Galena. Something to do with the glaciers cutting in and making all these hills. And so the roads are curvy. And you have hills. And it's just a really fun place to be. So that's what."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T05:31:22+00:00","id":15393,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15392,"text":" Rick, I think you timed out. Well, I just passed it over. So I don't know where I timed out at. But if you tell me where I timed out at, then I think I might have timed out right when I was passing it over. Yeah, I think you were. I think that's exactly what you were doing. All right, well, that's good. And yes, you did tell us about the spider. And I was going to ask you about that, too. I forgot when I was just seeing how the bike was coming along. But hopefully your wife can find something, a helmet, that will work. You know, I don't know if it's a comfort issue or if it's just she doesn't want her hair messed up or what. But hopefully they can get that worked out for her. Because, like, you're right. I mean, she should have to have a helmet on, you know, from a safety standpoint. All right, let's go down to George now, KB0MAI. Good morning to you, sir. How are you this Saturday morning? Have you got any big weekend plans? And if you do, let us know. Over to you. KB0MAI, good morning. Oh, no real plans. I waited for daylight to come out here. I'm cutting the grass right now, trying to get it all done. There's supposed to be a lot of storms over the next four or five days. And I just don't like the grass too high. It's hard to cut when it gets too high. I have that problem. I left it behind my fence and not cut. And it got up to, you know, quite high. It was like probably about six inches. I have electric a lot more. And it does well, but six inches of really, really dense grass, it took a while. So I don't want to repeat that again. So I'm just trying to get this all done before the rain start. I've been feeling drops already, a little bit here and a little bit there. So if I get that done, or so early in the morning, it would be kind of nice. Reset. And then taking my grand-friend for, he's doing competition swimming. He's five years old. And we're putting him in a class, like my daughter did, that teaches a little more about swimming. And he just does laps back and forth into different types of strokes and stuff like that. He's doing real well. I mean, just about more than a month ago, I was trying to get him to lay on his back. And he's doing really well. He's in the pool. And he just didn't want anything to do with it. And yesterday, I was sent a video of him going clear length, one full lap, doing the backstroke. I was amazed. I mean, he's come so far so quick. But this is kind of a thing where they test out all the kids. And the kids that do the best get to go to the competitions and have fun doing that. We try certain sports with him. We try basketball. And he's going to try football this year, and soccer, baseball. And this one, he seems well-suited for. He seems like he's getting it real quick. Maybe that's his talent. He'll be an Olympic swimmer or something like that when he gets older. I don't know. But it's going to be an easy weekend. He's going. I have no plans for other than that. Maybe a meal or two. That's it. Back to deck control, KB0MAI. KB0MAI, KM1X. Now, I don't know. I'm just talking out my rear here. But as far as sports are concerned, I would think swimming would be one of the less expensive sports. You don't have a lot of equipment that you got to buy. I don't know. Like with hockey, you got all that equipment and you got to pay for ice time. I suppose you got to pay maybe for pool time. I'm not sure. But I would think that, yes, as far as sports are going, swimming is going to be one of the cheaper ones. So I would encourage something like that. I would think that that would be one of the more physical sports, too, as far as developing muscles and strength and everything. I could just never. I love swimming. I love being in the water. But the whole swimming of laps and things and the whole breathing underwater and tilting your head. I don't know how people can do that. I really don't. Especially when they're going as hard as they are. You got to breathe. And I don't know how people can do that. And I don't know how they're able to do it. I could never. I was always sucking in water and choking. It was nasty. But yeah, swimming is, I think, a damn good way to go. All right. We are at the bottom of the list. So why don't we take a call for check-ins? Anyone, anywhere that would like an opportunity to get in on the net. This is your chance. Come forward with your call sign now. This is KN4LDF. This is D. This is Repeater Station MEC-3, November, Quebec, November. All Stars, O-3, FDX, located in Shelton, Washington. And 9LDF, November 9th, Oscar, Fucks, uniform.

Good morning to all three of you. We're going to start out with the KN4LBF. Good morning, D. How are you today? And you still think you'll be able to host the net next Saturday morning? If not, let me know. No big deal either way. What are your plans for the weekend, D? This is KN4LBF. This is D. Right now I am just giving thanks to be able to wake up this morning, give my gratitude. And it's 90 here, which is, well, it's going to be 90, which is great because it was 97 and over over here. We had a lot of rain and thunderstorms last night and it dropped the humidity just a little bit, just enough to be able to go out and do a couple of things. And not much today because today is my day of rest. But tomorrow I'll think about stopping by my friend's house and giving her some really beautiful veggies we have here. Anyway, not much and yes, I am going to be here on the 16th at 730. Yes, I am. I am ready. Okay, well, back to you, Kevin. This is KN4LBF. This is D. D, no offense, but that's a little warm. So it's early in the morning. That's downright hot. I just, what is it now? It went up from 63 to 64 here. And I can handle that, but I don't know that I could handle those temps down there this early in the day. That's a bit much. It's funny how, it doesn't sound like I'm the only one on this net this morning, but the older I get, the less I like the heat and the less I like the cold. So maybe we're just becoming old crotchety people that don't like it too hot, don't like it too cold. I don't know. But thank you for joining us, D, and we'll look forward to hearing you next weekend at this time. And now we're going to go down the list to VE3FBX. Ben, good morning to you. How are you today? Have you got any weekend plans that you want to share? Over to you. VE3FBX. Good morning, Kevin and everybody else up in the morning having a coffee. Been up for a grand total of a half an hour. It's my day to sleep in. Having my coffee, checking the news. Plans for the weekend are going to be relaxed. It's going to be a hot one here. Going to get into rewiring my radio setup. Finally got all the bits and pieces I want to get in. So hopefully this weekend I can get everything up on the air. Raised up one end of my engine at halfway. Then managed to hit Europe finally. So hopefully tonight and maybe tomorrow night we'll get some contact out that way. Other than that, going to take it easy. Back to you, Kevin. VE3FBX KM1X. Do you mind, Ben, if I ask you what kind of end fed halfway you got? Did you make it or did you buy it? VE3FBX. Kevin, I got lazy. I bought it off Amazon. I was planning to make a fantail dipole and just ran out of time this spring. Hopefully over the winter I get a chance to build the fantail and get it up next year. I just wanted to get up in the air. I'm a new ham. Just got my license this spring. Been in electronics and radio since the early 80s when I was a teen and into the Air Force. So yeah, this is it. VE3FBX KM1X. I want to say it was Monday. I was all ready to make a purchase of one. I had fed halfway. I liked my other one but it broke about a month ago. So I have been off HF now for the last month. What I was going to do was buy two. I was going to have one that was going to be pointing to the east. So that one would hit Europe. Then I was going to have one that was going to be pointing towards the west. I saw what was sitting in my cart online and how much it was going to cost. I thought, do I really need two? Can I just get away with one? So then I dropped it back to one. They won't deliver to my post office box for whatever reason. I get that if you get a battery or something, there's no reason why this couldn't get it. They won't deliver to a PO box. So I was going to have it delivered to my parents house knowing that I was going to be up there on Sunday. I said, well it's too early. I don't want to have it get delivered on Wednesday or something and they're going to be running around. I want them to be home when it happens. So I figured I'd wait until later in the week knowing that I forgot all about it. So I still haven't made the order. Now I'm toying with going back to getting two. If I get two, all I'm going to do is put the one pointing east up now and then I will wait until the foliage drops before I put the one going west up. I'm also concerned that the tree I'm using for the west one is not far enough away. I think the wire is 130 feet long or something like that. I think the tree is only 80 feet away or 90 feet away. So there's still a lot of extra there and I don't know. So we'll see. It'll make for an interesting winter though for sure. Thank you Ben. Let us know how you like that too. Bill! And 9-0-F-U. Good morning to you sir. Welcome to the Calabunga net. How are you? Where are you? And what are your plans for today? So listen, over to you. Okay. How are you doing? I'm going to push the button and then I'm going to pop back up. And I'm like, oh wait, you're not done talking yet. But I'm at home. My last day at home. Well, last morning at home I should say. My student is waiting for me. I'm just wondering if my truck has been fixed or gone to the shop yet. I put my truck in the shop Thursday morning. I wanted them to just check out the repair job on the differential. So I asked for that. And I figured that was just quick and easy just to make sure it wasn't leaking. But then I had some antifreeze coming out. These two hoses or top holes on the radiator causing leakage. I wasn't losing much antifreeze. But it was making a little bit of a mess inside the engine compartment. So I put it in there for that. That was the main thing. But when I went in yesterday morning, it sat all Thursday. So they had a lot of trucks they were working on. And now I'm just waiting. I didn't go back last night. And as far as I can tell from my air tag in the truck, the truck is sitting in the same area that it was when I put it in. But they may have taken it out and put it back. I'll find out this morning. All Star Note 6222 located in Shelton, Washington. Yep, just had to read the message. Yeah, I'm not sure. Okay. I may have been mistaken. We're trying to figure out tomorrow's net. And I knew he was going to be out here. But with respect to my intention that she was going to be covering your net next week. So maybe that's what I was getting. Or maybe I'm confused. And she's not going to be out here tomorrow. So we'll get tomorrow figured out. If nothing else, I might be able to pick it up. So we'll see what happens. But yeah, beautiful morning. I may have one here. All right, been able to get a full night's sleep the last couple nights. That's helped out a lot with the muscle relaxing in the back. So my leg hasn't been giving me too much bother. Plus I've been wearing my knee brace. So that's kind of helped keep things straight on my leg. So we'll see if we can continue. Usually I have like a week where my students got driving as a solo student. So I'm able to get a good night's sleep every night for the first week before I go back into team driving. Last time didn't quite work out that way because my last student already had enough hours that we were able to run team pretty much from the beginning. So we're still working on that. But good to be out here and keep me on the list. This is N9OFU back to KM1X. And I know if you KM1X, we're glad to hear that your back is doing a little bit better. I know last Sunday I played pickleball. And Monday morning, I was kind of sore all over. But I noticed that my Achilles in my right foot was burning. And I thought it was just because the heel of my shoe was rubbing up against it and it was just creating a lot of friction from running around. But it wasn't going away. A couple of days ago, I kind of just Googled burning sensation and Achilles tendon and they said that it sounded like it was tendonitis. And that you gotta take it easy and that it's common with people that play tennis or basketball like once a week. It's like, well, that sounds familiar. So there are some stretching exercises that I'm doing. They seem to think it seems to be coming from tightness in the calf. So I'm trying to stretch that out because I don't want to screw up my Achilles and need surgery or something like that. That would be new fun whatsoever. So we're just kind of taking it easy. All right. We are at the bottom of the list. We'll take one more call for check ins and then we're going to try to answer some questions or a question. So anyone anywhere that wants to get on the net come forward with your call sign now."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T05:44:52+00:00","id":15395,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15394,"text":" V01, UKZ, Darrell, you with us?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T05:45:13+00:00","id":15396,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15395,"text":" All right, hearing none, we're going to go back up top to Darrell, V01, UKZ, and Darrell.

All right, then Kevin, VA3, KKY, the honor falls to you of deciding one question we're gonna ask. You know the routine. Go ahead. Throw out a number 1 to 6. Okay, well, what I can do is throw the Google dice, so something like Google, read the number from 1 to 6. Four. Four? So, question four. All right. The question is, let's see, suppose you were offered the power to read other people's minds. Would you take it? And why? So, in a way, it could be good, it could be bad. I mean, you could be learning a lot of stuff that you don't want to know, whether it's about you and this person or other things. But if you had the power to read people's minds or could have the power, would you take it? So, we'll turn that over to you, Kev. Well, I suppose that I would. It would probably make me even more judgmental on second-guessing people because I kind of already do that anyway. And I rely totally on, you know, inner monologue and internal wit, you know, to decide what I'm gonna do. And I think that's a good thing. I don't even quit, you know, to decide about people already, so it would just probably be more intense. I just honestly really don't really believe in such things because I'm thinking if anyone can read minds, well, then it's very simple to settle. Tell me tomorrow's LOMOMAX numbers. I don't even play. Tell me about a horse that I could cash in on. You know, give me something tangible. Give me something legible. That's the thing with sidekicks is oftentimes they don't have any credibility at all to me unless they're already doing well. It would be the first thing that you would do. And if anyone tells you that they're psychic, just go up to them and punch them right in the face, kick them right in the ribs, step on their feet, and they're lying to you already generically because they should have been out of the way. Nothing should have already told them that that was coming. They couldn't even see that coming. So I'd have to be so, or I think I would be heavily skeptical of a lot of those things. So even like my atheism, I think honestly I've come upon it in terms of a logical awakening, you know, more than anything else. And I don't have any particular ESPs or anything like that. It certainly never comes in handy. It's never saved me. I always learn about things way after the fact, right? Like, oh, my brother was sick, and I wouldn't have never known. So if it was ever something useful, it's never been revealed to me. But yeah, go punch a psychic. And they didn't see it coming. The most simplest thing. The gala experience, I guess. Okay, I'll pass it back to you, Kevin. VA3KKY. VA3KKY KM1X. Well, I'm talking more, less about reading into the future. I'm talking more like just knowing what people are thinking. So that, you know, if you're working with somebody and you can hear what they're thinking as they're thinking it, so that if they're looking at you and saying, oh, man, this guy's a jerk, you get that. I mean, yeah, it would be predicting the future if you knew that, okay, you would read the mind of the president who's planning on, you know, starting nuclear war or something like that. But it wouldn't be the, you know, what are the lottery numbers going to be, since that's supposed to be all random. Darryl has texted me, so he's back. So let's go back to Darryl. V01UKZ. Darryl, the question is, suppose you have the opportunity to have the power to read people's minds. Would you take it? So you'd have like ESP, and you would know who's thinking what when they're thinking it. Is that something that you'd want to have, or do you think it could be detrimental, because you've learned some things you really don't want to know. Over to you, Darryl. Well, first off, I wasn't gone very long, and Kevin was, I think, directly after me, so I must have just missed my turn by that much. I just ran to the bathroom. But it depends, Kevin. If it was something I could shut off, you know, to go to sleep at night or something like that, I'd be down for it, because you wouldn't want just everybody else's thoughts coming into your head constantly. You wouldn't want that. It would become too overpowering. I think so, anyway. I think it would become overpowering. But if you could turn it off, then great. Or if it was sensitive enough so you could tune it to just one person, or if it was sensitive enough that if you were, you know, in your own apartment, it wouldn't, you know, it wouldn't keep flooding into your mind, because I think that would be just catastrophic if you could constantly hear what everyone was thinking. And I'd have some fun with it, too. You know, like, if I heard someone say, I heard someone thinking, oh, that guy's a prick or something like that, I'd be like, oh, so that's how you feel, isn't it? And they'd be like, well, what you say? And I'd be like, man, I just heard what you said. And then they'd be like, oh, did I say that out loud, or did I say it in my mind? And I'd be like, no, you said it out loud, man. Like, what the hell? I think that would be fun. But, yeah, like, you know, if you were in, like, it depends on the range, too, I suppose, you know? Because you don't want, you know, voices coming in from all over the city. You know, you'd need a range to this power, I believe. Like, you know, 50 feet, maybe. You know, you don't need to know what people beyond 50 feet are doing. I think it would just be a waste. And plus, you'd get too much on your channel. You know what I mean? It would be way too overcrowded. There'd be way too many voices coming in all at once. I don't know that you could even, you know, detect what was going on if you had way too many voices on the same channel, everybody trying to talk at once. But, yeah, that's my answer to the question, Kevin. If it was more powerful, or sorry, if it had a limitation, and or if you could turn it off, that'd be my only stipulations. Back over to you, V01UKZ. V01UKZ-KM1X, I could see that. I was thinking at the time that as far as limitations, it would be more like, okay, you think of a person. So, you know, pick a person, Oprah Winfrey, and you would just immediately be able to tune in to whatever Oprah Winfrey was thinking about at that time. You know, you were, so that, you know, it wasn't like everybody, you could just turn it on and off. You know, I mean, let's face it, especially guys, we have this great ability of just turning our brains off, just really not thinking about anything or anyone. I mean, you know, obviously if you're thinking about, you know, putting a boat in the water, well, that, you know, that's not gonna, the boat doesn't have a brain, so it's not like you're gonna be reading the boat's mind. But if you're thinking about a person, well, then all of a sudden you could tap into whatever they were thinking. But, yeah, it's cool. I mean, this is a fun question, I think. It can go down many different avenues, so feel free to go with it where you want. VE1, W-I-N, Peter, you have the opportunity to read people's minds. Would you take it? Over to you. I'm taking it, Kevin. I'm driving and I'm mobile, so have a good day. I'm clear. Very good. Have a good day. Drive safe. KJ5, IRQ, Josh, you're next. Do you think you would like to have the opportunity to read people's minds? Over to you. AM1X, this is KJ5, IRQ. No, I don't hear like my own mind. I don't want to hear nothing, right? Nobody else's. Yeah, that's a scary thought. No, thank you. My wife did the same thing. She heard the question and she goes, oh, no, I would not want that. No, I think we're all hypocritical and we put on a forking in front of everybody over what's really inside of our minds. It can either be a very joyful or very scary place. And so that's a personal thing and I don't need to know that. I did want to ask you a question. I believe last Friday that you mentioned you played D&D and I know you're interested in that and thought maybe you could tell us more about that. Whatever. I mean, it doesn't have to be now or nothing. It can be a different net. I just wanted to mention it before I forgot it once again. All right. With that, I'm sending it back to KJ5, IRQ, to K and 1X. Yeah, Josh, I think you asked me that this last weekend, too. It's something that I had never played growing up. Again, it was, its heyday seemed to come about in the late 70s, early 80s. I knew people that did, but I wasn't one of them. And probably three or four years ago, it was a local game store that was going to have a session for people who've never played before. It was like an introductory session. And I asked this buddy of mine, I said, look, if you were up by any chance to ever have played D&D or had any interest in it, there's this thing going on. I'm thinking about going, but I'd rather not go alone. And the guy's like, oh, my God, I love that plate that I got up. My brother and I, we were playing. We'd get our friends and we'd be up all night. I'd love to get going. I mean, I opened a Pandora's box. And now this guy just can't get enough of it. I mean, we play every five or six weeks. He's the dungeon master. He spent all of his waking time just on this. He's recruited a bunch of other teachers at the school that he works at. Even in the summer, they get together on Tuesdays at a game store and they play. It's kind of interesting, but it depends. I mean, different people get into it at different levels. I'm not into it that much. I just assume keep it to once a month, to be honest with you. But it is an opportunity to get out and meet other people. It can be very complex. And again, my interest level is not at the point where I want to be that complex. It would depend. If you've got a game store nearby, check it out. See if they have anything. It's worth looking into if you've got just a little bit of an interest because you could go to one of these introductory things and say, yeah, this is for me. It isn't for me. You'll know probably after an hour or two. So, yeah, it's worth checking out. All right. AA4, H-O, Ron. We're talking about the power to read minds. If you had the opportunity to read people's minds, would you want it? Over to you, Ron. I think I would. Let's see. Orson Welles, he was good at having people think of a number, you know, between one and ten. And he would be able to tell them, you know, what the number was. He would be a high degree of accuracy. He would be right about it or think of an animal. He'd ask a few questions that come with a little effort. And the skills also have to be learned beforehand. I have a little interest in that and I've followed some of them. And there's some things I've picked up on, not a lot, because I never formally tried to learn how to know what somebody's thinking or if what they're saying is deceptive or not. You don't necessarily need a lie detector test. I don't know if that actually falls into the category exactly of what the question is. Yeah, I don't think we'll ever be able to read somebody's thoughts. I don't think that. Yeah, I probably enjoy that. I don't have nothing. Are you going to surprise me at this point? I've seen just about everything. So I could be wrong about that. But I've been desensitized from my past experiences that it wouldn't shock me more. Of course, maybe if there were a serial killer that could be horrible to have to unsee something that you read their mind that they had done. So I certainly would avoid somebody like that. Anyway. Yeah, there's a lot of skills out there in this people who talk about it a lot that I've listened to. All right. So that control. A4HOKM1X. You got to have, I think, a thick skin before you agree to take something like that on because it could easily be something that you regret. So you'd want to give it some thought before you jump right in. But thank you for that. And now we're going to try to see if Jeff is still there. Km4GBC. If you could have the ability to read people's minds, is that something you would want to take on? Would you like to have that ability? Or would you just assume? Keep the mystery. Over to you, Jeff. Hey, Kevin. Km4GBC. Yeah, I think I'd take that. That'd be pretty cool. But I have to admit, Kevin, I already partially have that. I can partially do that now. And if you could turn it on or turn it off, like Ron said, some people are so crazy you wouldn't want to get in their head. Anyway, I have to be able to read people's minds a little bit at my work. Usually they're lying, I can tell you that. Anyway, it's good to hear what went on here this morning. I saw the cartoon that Josh put on Facebook there just now. That's really cool. I like that. That is neat. So anyway, Kevin, back to you. I'm still here for now. Mission accomplished on that first guy. He's going to be with us until Monday morning. He's a keeper. Anyway, back to you, Kevin. Km4GBC. Good morning, everyone. Km4GBC, Km1X. Well, sounds like you've got someone to take care of for the next couple of days. How does that work? When they're in the jail, obviously you've got to feed them and all of that. Do you guys have a cook? How does that all work? Do you do takeout? When the dude gets out, do you send him a bill and they have to pay for the food that they had and stuff like that? How does that work, Jeff? Well, it varies in different sentences, different charges and pretrial. Anyway, it varies in different ways, Kevin. But as far as the Poon goes, they have a company that brings in the food. And that's, you know, it's a big company. It's a big deal. They do probably four or five jails in different counties right here where I'm at. So it's a big outfit. I used to, they used a local guy and he would do all the meals for the jail. He had like a catering company, but he would, you know, just do the basics for the jail. But he got a little too pricey for the county. And the county got this other group that was doing the jail, the two jails in the counties that were beside of us. So they bring them in in paper boxes. And they have these containers, you know, that are nice, but they're disposable. And they have regular food, hamburgers, hot dogs. Sometimes it may just be a sandwich with some side veggies. But they've got a schedule that they have to go by and have to meet. So many, you know, certain rules they've got to follow about the nutrition and so forth. But this fellow was a domestic. So he got a fight with his family in North Carolina. It's automatically a 48-hour hold if you get in a domestic disturbance. It was pretty bad. So anyway, he's staying with us till the 48 hours runs out, which will be 7 a.m. on Monday morning. And I put his coordinate on Monday too, so he'll be going to coordinate 30. So anyway, they've got these different things, different rules they've got to follow. And they have a doctor and a nurse that they can see. There is a charge for that, but it's only like $3 and $5. And if they can't afford it, they get up there to see them anyway. And they're on call. So the nurses are there every day. They give their medication. So they do the intake with the meds when they come in. So they're pretty thorough about it, food allergies and all that kind of stuff. But yeah, while they're in custody, they're the responsibility of the sheriff. So back to you, Kevin Camp, for what you've seen. This is Repeater Station Kilo Avenue. Very good. Yeah, that was interesting. I've always wondered how that worked, whether they had like a kitchen staff or what. Because all I could think of was back in the old, you know, Andy and Mayberry. How did they feed them? And so I'm glad you were able to answer that for me. All right, go ahead, KC2PKG, back to the question at hand, which is dealing with the ability to read people's minds. You've been presented with the opportunity to do that, but is that something you'd want to have? Is that too much power? Could it backfire? Would you take it if you had the chance to read people's minds? Over to you, Gray. K.M.1X, this is KC2PKG. Yeah, with the proviso that you can turn it off. I think that's a really, really good suggestion there. And it was somewhat directable. I've always had trouble working out what people are thinking. Some people can look at another person's body language or watch their faces and stuff like that and really get a good handle on what's going on. Are they accepting what you're saying? Are you believing me? That kind of thing. I can't do that. I don't have that. I look at people's faces and I see a mass of app expressions, little lightning things that go on in their faces and stuff like that. So I'm not really good at reading people. And I wish I was better at it. I really do. So yeah, I would take that. I would definitely take that. With the proviso students, you can turn it off. You can't just let it out with what everybody else is doing. And it's somewhat directable. Like I have to look at the person or something like that and I could do it. I think that would be cool. And if you could turn it off with one bullet, just don't do it. So back to you, K.M.1X. This is KC2PKG. KC2PKG, K.M.1X. Now I think we stumbled upon what could make for a good story, a novel or a movie or something about the person that gets this ability and then all of a sudden they're discovering that there could be some serious drawbacks because they can't shut it off or the limitations aren't what they thought they'd be. And suddenly it presents some problems and some conflict, which you need in a good story. So yeah, I think we're onto something here. And Daryl was right when he touched upon that. Alright, who else is next here? Ask Gray, we go to Rick. K9VFD. What do you think, Rick? You know your life. You know some people that you might want to be able to exercise this power on, this new power if you choose to take it. But is it something that you would want? Would you like to have the ability to read people's minds? Over to you, Rick. Alright, well before I answer that, you said you wanted to ask if I did anything to my bike or whatever. And I'm playing with it. I'm trying to learn all the electronics, the infotainment system, the carplay, all kinds of stuff. But, and then I, we went on a pretty nice ride last Saturday. We wound up going out to Peoria the long way and then we took the long way back and we put on like 200 miles that day. And I decided that I wanted my feet up a little bit. I also wanted the handlebars closer to me so I ordered floorboard risers and then I also ordered handlebar risers. And while I was at it, I ordered a couple LED accent lightings. One both for the front, just some white light trim to finish out the bike and you know, make it look cool. I'm thinking about adding some sequential turn signals but it's a pretty elaborate job. You have to pull the wheels off and the fenders off. There's a lot of work involved in doing it. So I'm holding on by that. That could be a winter project. But as far as the reading people's minds, I'm going to go on a tangent with that. Because my dad, he was in telecommunications for pretty much as long as I can remember. And back in the old days, he was selling business telephone systems. And then by the end of his career, now they're doing Ethernet and fiber networks. And most of the time the contractors that he worked for were in the same union I am. Their local 134 IBEW. So anyhow, one of the things that he would do back, I mean these days I don't know a lot of times they're IP phones and they would do the same thing. But especially in the car dealers. He would get a car dealer and part of the system that they needed was a way for audio surveillance. So basically the systems that he would put in would be able to, you could go to a master station or whatever and actually listen in on that telephone extension. So basically the car dealers would, you know, they're trying to make their deal. They know they're getting close but they're just not quite there. The salesman will go, you know what, why don't you and your wife think about this. And I'm just going to leave for a few minutes and you guys can discuss what's going on here. And that's when the sales manager goes in and listens to the conversation and they can hear what they're willing to do to make the deal. So that's my take on it. And so you can do it. You can read people's minds but you have to use electronics to make that happen. But as far as me having the ability to know what my wife is thinking, oh my God. Especially when I'm being a dick. You know, it's all the week man. I was just no good. You know, I told her, you know, I'm not Rick anymore. Just call me dick. And that was my way of saying sorry. But anyway, I don't know if I want that ability. And you know, maybe with all the, you know, with my project manager acting the way he is, I want to know really why he's doing what he's doing. I think what he's trying to do is speed up production. And it's a way to, you know, it slows it down at first but then it gets things going maybe. I don't know. But anyway, so count me out unless I could turn it on and off and only use it as a, you know, all of a sudden, okay this is on demand. Okay now I want to know what you're thinking. So anyway, back to neck control. K-9 PFD. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo. K-9 PFD, KM1X. Well I would think yeah, yeah, I mean I'm not married but when it comes to spouses, do you really want to know what's going on? I mean there are times where a spouse might be like what is going on? What is he thinking? What is she thinking? But at the same time, you might get scared by it when you find out. So I don't know that I would recommend using it on your spouse for sure. But that's interesting about the car thing. I mean that's eavesdropping if you ask me. Or wire tapping almost. But I suppose if it was legal, it was legal. So it would be interesting to see if that would work if they still do stuff like that today. Let's see, George, KB0, MAI. George we're talking about having the power to read people's minds. And we'll let you interpret that any way you want. But is that a power you think you'd like to have? Over to you George. KB0, MAI. You know that two car dealership thing, I believe that is true. They're going to take any advantage they can. And I can see them doing that. So that's why I want to go into car dealership. I don't say anything to my wife unless we go outside and talk out there. But it's been a while. It's been five years since I've been to a car dealership. I'm very stiff neck when I go to them. You ever watch that movie, Bruce Almighty? He thinks he can do better than God. So God gives him all his powers and he's trying out new things. And all of a sudden he's starting to hear people all over the place in his mind. It gets worse and worse and worse. He's trying to clean out his ears because he thinks he's hearing things. And come to find out, God tells him, well that's prayers. You're God, you have to have the prayers. And he says, well how do you stand it? And God says, well I'm used to it but you only pick it up, the prayers from 40th street to 1st street, New York City or something like that. So you just get a small sample because you've got to start answering these prayers or it's just going to get worse and worse and worse. So I just sent out a typewriter. I guess this is his way of answering the prayers. And he just goes on and on and on. No matter how fast he works he just can't answer all the prayers. So finally he just grants everybody everything. For some reason I keep thinking about that movie when we're talking about this stuff. But I would say myself, no I don't need it. I read people pretty good. Not so much if they're on the air but in person I can read them fairly decently. I prefer that over hearing every thought that goes through their mind. That would drive me nuts. Hey Hal, I got done with all my road work, or yard work. And I've got to take a shower and get ready to get to the pool for my grandson. So eat some breakfast and all that kind of good stuff. So I'm just going to call it quits for the day. Everybody have a wonderful weekend and I guess I'll see you on Monday. JB0MAI. JB0MAI. JB0MAI. KM1X. Well it sounds like you got your work out of the way and it's still bright and early so you've got the rest of the day to play. Congratulations. I'm in the midst of chopping up onions and peppers to go into my spaghetti sauce as we talk about the question. And once I get all the chopping and stuff done then it's just a matter of cooking. And that should be alright. So I'm hoping to have this done by 10.30 or so. And then I can start my playing on the weekend too. Uh, D. KN4. LBF. You've had some time to think about the question, D. And as George said, I mean it does kind of give you some godlike abilities I would think. But is that something you would want if you could? Over to you. This is KN4. LBF. Um, I don't think I would have to, uh, not be soft in order to have it but I would like to have it. And just for, you know, for instance, um, you know, yesterday I had a really good conversation with a friend of mine and she was saying that her best friend, one of her girlfriends died a month ago. And she's been hanging with a crowd in her community since she's been here two years. And she, they all got together in one apartment to go to the funeral. And one of the ladies that she was hanging with said this to another woman, says, oh you see how she is like, you know what I said or whatever. But she heard and she turned around and she said, are you guys talking behind my back? And, um, she told me yesterday she was really devastated because she felt like she wasted two years of her life hanging with people that she thought cared about her. And it was a lie. They just was talking bad things about her. And I would say what's going on through your mind. And not only in reference to friends, family, nephew, nieces, whatever cases, it's just to know who is dishonest and honest with you. Who is selfish? Who is keeping two, three years of your life, 30, 40 years? I mean, I would like to set boundaries. And yes, I would like to have that ability because people are just not honest at all. And, um, I had another instance. I had a friend, let me reset, just give me a second. I had a friend that I thought was a friend of mine. And, um, her husband was my husband's best friend. And then she started hanging out with me. She started inviting me places and stuff to come to find out after four years of being what I thought was my BFF. She just wants to be in the same household to watch her husband. She didn't give two crap about our friendship. I was like, how can that be? How can people use other people like that? So, um, I have to say, yeah, I would like to know what's in your mind and I can have boundaries for I can, um, you know, just, um, make sure that I don't know. I just say yes. Anyway, back to you, Kevin. This is K and 4 LBS. This is D. Kevin 4 LBS KM1X. I think we've all been there, D, where we thought we knew someone and come to find out, you know, we didn't. They weren't the people that we thought they were. Um, that they didn't necessarily, you know, put as much weight on relationship as we did. And so you're right. That is a good thing to be able to have the ability to kind of root out before you invest a great deal of time and energy of your life on a relationship where the other person think about that. Just like when you were dating, you know, just this person like me, I really like this person. Do they like me as much as I like them? And just that whole awkwardness of getting to know someone. If you had the ability to know how the other person felt, think of how much pain that would have saved. So you brought up a very good point, D. Alright, let's go down to Ben, VE3, FBX. You've heard a lot of different viewpoints, Ben. And so we'd love to know what you think now. If you had the ability to read people's minds, is that something that you would want to have? Over to you. VE3, FBX. No, definitely not. Like Dee was saying, yes, people may try to use you or not have the same feelings you do, but that might be a temporary thing. There's a lot of temporary thoughts that enter a mind. I also think there's a lot of dark thoughts and dark minds and I would want to get dragged into seeing all the dark thoughts that people have. Maybe short lasting, maybe a long lasting plan they're working on. I just don't think it would be a fun place to be. Back to you, Kevin. VE3, FBX, KM1X. Well, I like going back to what Dee said. It was a case of an individual that you thought much more of and you thought it was both ways, but it turned out not to be. We all have people in our lives that we kind of more or less put up with. And there may be someone that thinks, oh my gosh, this person is great and we're really good friends when in fact we're just tolerating them more than anything, trying to be polite. So it could get turned on us as well. But that's a good point. Alright, Bill. N9, OFU. What do you think? You had some time to think about this. Is this something that you would want to have the ability to do? Over to you. Alright, well I just read your mind. I knew I was next. So maybe I already have it. I've always thought that would be an interesting trait to have because then you could say more or say less based on what the other person was thinking. So you wouldn't get in trouble or you would know if you were getting somebody upset so you could shut your mouth and stop talking. But I think it would be more trouble than it would be worth. I do like the idea of being able to focus it so you wouldn't hear everything and then be able to turn it on and off. Because sometimes it's better not to know what the other person is thinking. Because like you said, there are times when I look at someone and I think to myself things that I wouldn't say out loud. And there's a reason for that. Because your body has a difference mechanism. And sometimes we make snap judgments that aren't in our best interest. And then after a little while you completely change your mind. So if someone just read your first thoughts, they'd be totally off the mark. So I think the way it is now is probably better. So I would have to go with no, I don't think I'd want to have that ability. Even now I tell myself, I'd want to know if someone was lying to me or not lying to me or something like that. But I think I'm probably better off without it. Alright, and I know if you're back to the cam 1X."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T06:47:13+00:00","id":15398,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15397,"text":" All right, we've added Alpha Echo 7, Mike Romeo, Mr. Terry, WA6 ABC, Mike, N9ZIV, Big Train Lane is with us, as is Santa Mel, KV7, PVW. So good morning to all four of you. And we're going to start with Mr. Terry, Alpha Echo 7, Mike Romeo. How are you, Terry? What are you up to this weekend? You got any plans? And the question we're kicking about is, if you could have the power to read people's minds, would you want it? So with that, over to you, Terry. Alpha Echo 7, Mike Romeo, I can tell you that for sure you don't want it unless you run out of sleep with Mike. My ex-wife has that ability. And if she says, I've seen the color of your car, then you better drive easy to it, because then you better drive on while do it, because she doesn't see things that happen to herself. I have the ability for the simple reason that we were in Randy Creek Campground, Whiskeytown, when Grandpa Gilbert passed away. The thing he used to do with me when I was a child, he was running his hand up the back of my neck. And I'm sitting there cooking lunch. And he reaches out. When he passes away, he reaches out and goes after the back of my neck. And I turned to Jean. I said, we need to call Utah now. And I'm not that big. I'm also considered a corny, because I did carnival work and swap work. I can actually, if I get you to look at me, I'm not going to turn wish of you until you buy something off my table. I got a message. Let me grab a second. Be right back. I'll be like this. I'll be like this. I'll be like this. And somebody was walking with their mother. And the lady was talking to her daughter and looking at me. And I commented on her watch or her glasses or something. And she brought it over to her. When she got to the table, I had some Elizabeth Cullen cabbage patch caveman dolls. Fully anatomic, they correct. And the mother said, oh, look at this, honey. And two or seven years old daughter, she lifted up the thing on it. And then we saw her there. She bought something just to get herself out of there. I'm able to do that. But I can turn mine on and off when my ex-wife cannot do that. So you really don't want to, if you don't mind, if you want sleepless nights, then it's for you. But poor Bill spent more time sitting and reading than she did sleeping. I'll just open the microwave. Thank you for bringing me in because you can't take me out by a little bit. Listening out. Back to McAdore, 8E7MR. 8E7MR, KM1X. Well, yeah. I would think if your wife had that ability, she could cash in on that. She could have gotten rich with that ability. But as you said, it produces sleepless nights, too. So there is good and bad to it. All right. Who's next? WA6ABC. How are you today? And what are your weekend plans? Do you have any? And the question is, if you could have the power to read people's minds, would you want it? So over to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T06:48:10+00:00","id":15399,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15398,"text":" Did I break the system?

So thank you for that, Bill. We are at the bottom of the list, so we will take one more call for check-ins.

I have a little story. I probably haven't really told anybody this in many, many years. Well, I never really told anybody. It's kind of a, I would say a government top secret almost. But I will change the story so it might even be it might even be CIA, I don't know. I had a neighbor when I was going to high school. I think he might have went into CIA because his mother would never tell him where he was or what he was doing. He had people come and visit with him, I know. Anyway, that's a different story. I worked for the guy at work and he was in the service. I won't even say what branch. But he had a guy, I just call him a black guy named Sam, I would say. Every once in a while, Sam would go away and he would come back and I guess he would tell him what he was doing in front of you did. When the government was the government had a talk with some other country about something and he would go to this foreign country and take them to the meeting, like a taxi cab thing. And the foreign country people would talk in the back seat in a foreign language, of course, where Sam the black guy was raised learning that language, so he knew this language perfectly. So he would listen to what the guys in the back seat said and then as soon as he dropped out the guys or whatever, the government would debrief him and want to know what they said in the back seat to help them decide what they were gonna do with this country so anyway, that's probably more than I should even say. But our government's very sneaky, I guess. This was probably 40, 50 years ago, so I feel safe when I was talking about it. But that's what they did back then. I'm sure they have better ways of doing it now. County 7PVW. Be careful, Mel.

I'm currently on an exercise bike, so that's part of the to-do list here for the weekend. And so I'm watching the news with one eye. I've got both ears on the dew drop in here of the cow bung and net. And yeah, just listening to what's going on, getting my exercise on. And you know, I think I probably wanted it first and then realized that that was a mistake because I have enough trouble dealing with my own thoughts and then figuring out what behaviors to do, what actions to do based on the thoughts that I have. If my mind was quoted up with what everybody else was thinking, oh my goodness. You know, it's enough to worry about what I'm doing and trying to manipulate other people and that was just not my game. My game is to try and express what I want clearly and let people come to their own decisions. So now I don't think I would take on that power. The rest of the day is gonna be, I'm thinking of making a move to Western New York. So I'm looking up properties in Ogdensburg, New York and potentially selling my place here in New York City. And moves are, I think on the scale of things, they're kind of known as one of the most dramatic things you can ever do is an entire move. So I also have 15 cats, so that's something to be considered in the move and dealing with moving 15 little bodies like that. So that's the plan for today, dealing with all the anxiety that comes with moving, et cetera. Nice to hear everybody on the cow bung and net came in late, but thanks for including me in at the end. I'm gonna go back to my exercise and send it back to net from WA6 ABC, Michael in Rockaway Beach, New York. I'm sorry to interrupt like this, but if you don't mind, I have a quick question for Mike. Not a problem, Bill, go ahead with your question. Good to hear you out here, Mike. And I know it's been a while, but I was just curious, you said you were thinking of moving. I know you were taking care of your mother. How was your mother doing? Or did she pass away? Just curious. Hi Bill, WA6 ABC returning. Thank you for that question. No mother's doing okay, actually. She's 94 years old, God bless her. And I just took her to a medical appointment yesterday and she's in a managed care facility and they have lots of events for her. And so she's happy, she's got everything she needs there. And selling the house is basically a way to continue paying for managed care, because managed care costs a pretty penny. And we've got to make sure her care continues to be paid for. So that's the summary of things right now. I appreciate your asking, but yeah, she's all right. Send it back to a night control or to Bill for another round if you had another question. And I'm losing my breath because I'm on my exercise bike from WA6 ABC. Yep, no, I hated bothering you on your exercise bike, but you know, I know you were taking care of your mother and I just want to make sure she was okay. My mom had a fall last Sunday. And so we're thinking about maybe a managed care for her. But I appreciate it to come back and I'm glad she's still doing well. And I know a few back to KMLNX. All right, yeah, managed care, that's something that I'm dealing with as well. Mom needs it, mom wants it, but I don't think dad's ready to do it. I think he feels guilty that if he puts her in a home and he's not in there, that it's like he's just dumping her off. He's the only one I think that feels that way. He's feeling like he can take care of her, but he can't. So it's a rough go, but we have a meeting with a geriatric doctor coming up in about a month. And I think it's all gonna come to a head at that meeting. So it's supposed to be like a two hour meeting. So there's gonna be a big evaluation and they basically want everybody that's gonna say in her care there. So I think that day is coming for us too, Mike and Bill. All right, Dwayne, N9ZIV, good morning to you, sir. How are you today? I haven't heard from you in a while. Hope you're doing okay. You got any big weekend plans? And if you had the ability, Dwayne, to read people's minds, would you want it?

But again, what happens if you hear something you really don't want to hear? Now all of a sudden you're involved in something. There's a plot line for a movie right there. So, yeah, that's interesting. Alright, look at the clock. We've got to start the 73 round, so we're going to go back up to the top of the list and try to wrap this up. So we're going to go to Darrell first, V01 UKZ Final Comments for the Saturday morning. November Quebec November, All Star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. There you go. My phone was locked in my pocket. I just got the headset on, I'm standing outside here. There's Burn and One, you know, good Saturday morning toke, you know, first thing in the morning. Really enjoyed the night, Kevin. I got to say, it was definitely a good one. And Shadow wants to come out. Come on, bud. Meow. He's got a strange little meow. He's a big old cat, but he's got this quiet little meow to him. It's kind of strange. Anyway, just like to invite everyone to stick around for the Worldwide Friendship Net, which is coming up next here on Do Drop In. I will go ahead and disconnect Michigan for the time being because I do assume we will probably run over. Which is cool. You know, we have as much time as you do, Kevin. So yeah, I'll just say 73 then. Again, great net. V883. V883, KM1X. Well, it went by fast, I'll tell you that much. And yeah, I'm just sitting here at the stove, so I am, I got time. And we're glad you were able to join us, bright and early this morning too. So, come again! You all come back now, you hear? V883, KKY. Kevin, final comments from you. Hey, yeah, it was a lot of fun today. I had a lot of fun on the net. We'll look forward to hearing the events of the Nauternet controllers. Ready to take the helm. And yeah, my ex-girl Vicki was really annoying with what she thought she knew. A lot of times our fight was just that, right? Because I would get irritated and just belt her really hard. And say, well, I guess you didn't see that coming, did you? And you know, sometimes I would punch her right in the ribs. Knee her right in the chin. You know, when she was trying to pick something up. My favourite was just hitting her while she was in the middle of talking. I just liked that, right? Because she would get all uppity and obnoxious. So then suddenly she would be talking and then squealing and screaming when she gets punched in the ear. And then I'm like, I bet you didn't see that coming. And I think years later she told people, well, I guess I was wrong in a way because I didn't see the abuse coming or whatever. So yeah, that was years and years and years ago. I tested it on her beliefs too. Like one day I squeezed her neck real hard. I said, what invisible man do you believe in now? So, I said, if you really believe in an invisible man like that, why is he letting me squeeze your neck? So, you gotta challenge people on those things, you know what I mean? Otherwise they're just half cocked. And I think later on, when she was in another relationship, they were tired of her supposed clairvoyance. So, she got smashed in the head with a beer bottle and had to get stitches. I bet you didn't foresee that, slut. So, there you go. That's what you do with mind readers. Seriously. Test these people. Don't just let them always be like half cocked all the time. And test a believer. Alright, well I believe I better get up out of here. But you guys have a good fat day. And we'll look for you on Sunday, alright? Because it's Saturday today. Saturday, Saturday. Take care, Kevin. VA3KKY. VA3KKY KM1X, you have a good rest of your day and weekend. And maybe we'll talk to you tomorrow morning. Now we're going to go down to Josh. JJ5IRQ. Final comments from you today, sir? Alright, alright. Good morning. I am finally fully awake at the end of the day. Believe that or not. It is 8.50 here. I have done a few things honestly. I dug out my Ender 3 3D printer. I haven't used it in a while. And actually I'm really thinking about selling it. I've been back and forth on it. But me and my wife talked about it yesterday. And she might want to take a crack at my hand at this finally. So, yeah. I'm setting that back up this morning. It's the Ender 3 Max Neo. It has a custom, not custom, but it has an aftermarket into extrusion. Do you like jabs? So it's just about all those little weird things that used to come on these things. So, yeah. I guess I could have made it look great. But today is still a good printer. So maybe you could put this in if you can figure this darn thing out. I've done a few things on it. I did a little bit here and there. I came up with a CNC router for it. It's basically a 3D printer but it's for work. It's just cards rather than prints. And I used that for, gosh, six, seven years. It was fun. But then of course I got bored of it. I traded it one for one for this Ender 3 setup. And it comes with a aftermarket Sonic pad too. It's pretty cool. It's like a little tablet that controls it so you don't have to have a computer to touch it. So anyhow, yeah. We're going to dig that out. I'm getting cleaned up right now. I'm going to hook it up and set it up for the life. And maybe in the next few years, in the next few years, longer than three weeks or four weeks or so, there's more of a big-time market place that we'll grow. I guess with that I will say 73's. That's the final product I think of today. Kevin, thank you for that. Thanks for hosting. And we'll leave everybody here again tomorrow. KJ5 IRQ, back to the next room. KJ5 IRQ KM1X. Well, good luck with the printer stuff. And thank you for joining us this morning. Hope you have a great weekend. Uh, Rowan AA4 HO. Now it's your turn for final comments. Over to you, my friend. Nancy Kevin. I have my trusty HT ready and these headphones time out. They've been on an extended period of time. They're going to cut off any second. You know, and then I've got to restart them and everything. So I've got my all-star ready just in case. Great net. And, uh, had a good time. The time went by really quick and there were some great questions. And, uh, it was really entertaining. I'll see everyone tomorrow, Sunday. And I'll have a report about, uh, if my, uh, stepper motor gets here, uh, before the net starts. But it might come tomorrow after. Uh, that's been an interesting project. It's taken me to places in electronics that I haven't been before. Uh, okay Kevin, I'm going to turn it back to you. This is Rowan AA4 HO Miramar, Florida."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T07:01:57+00:00","id":15406,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15405,"text":" 884-HOKM, why don't you just keep us posted on that.

So we'll turn it over to you so you can get onto it. Final comments, Greg. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7 November 11. Hey, I'm Eric. This is KC2-PKG. Yeah, I'm already onto it. I have to build a chair because we only have seven. Six, no, seven. And we're going to need eight. So I'm putting off building a chair. And I got a three. I got, well, I have one 3D printer upstairs. And I haven't used that thing in years and years. I was on a kick for a while there. And I was having fun with it. And then one day I just got frustrated with it. And I said that and walked away. I said, I'll do something else for now. And it's still there. So it taunts me. Good question today. I love the way that people approached it. I thought it was good. It said a lot about their personalities. It was a penetrating question. It was excellent. It was excellent. So I don't know if there's going to be an NC tomorrow or not. Bill said he's threatening to do it himself. But if you've got the time or the inclination, then Sunday is one of the best ways to start. Because it's not busy. It's very relaxed. And it's that way on purpose. So think about it. God, it's always privilege and pleasure. I really enjoy this now. I like the people on it too. So with that, I'll pass it back to you, KM1X. This is KC2PKG73's, everybody. KC2PKG73, and good luck tonight. And I guess I look forward to hearing how it all worked out. K9, PFD, Rick. It's your turn now.

You didn't hear Scooter barking this morning, because I get up at 4 o'clock every morning and go to work. So he's on my schedule. I am in charge of all medicine and all feeding. And that way, we don't get confused in the household. We don't need a checklist or anything. So yeah, with me getting up at 4 o'clock in the morning and feeding him around 4 10, 4 15, he's got his biological clock going. And he woke me up. And right now, he's sitting there. And I can't tell if he's sleeping. There's a new thing going on. And he's hard of hearing. And his eyesight's not good. And he's really old. So I don't know, because he's going to be 18. I don't know if he's actually sleeping or resting. But sometimes we think he sleeps with his eyes open now. So we're not sure. But he's laying there. His eye is open. And we're actually treating his eyes for dry eye. So anyway, 73, have a great night. I mean, great day. This is K9 TFD. And I'll be clear. K9 TFD KM1X. Have yourself a great weekend. And we will talk to you soon. Go ahead. Keep getting better. Keep getting stronger. And enjoy the bike. Who's next? D. D KN4LBF. Final comments from you this morning, D. This is KN4LBF. This is D. No, no. I'm just going to go head out and do a couple of things around the house. It's not too hot out here. It's like a little below 90 right now. It's going to hit a little over 90 later. So I'm about to get some stuff now. There's a space between my fence and another person's fence. And a lot of weed is growing in this small space. And I want to get a weed chopper back there and get it done and spray some stuff or keep it under control. So that's what I'm thinking about doing today. Maybe more, maybe tomorrow. I don't know. Anyway, 73s and clear. Back to the net. All right, KN4LBF KM1X, you have a great weekend. Now we'll go to Ben. VE3FDX. Final comments from you today, sir. KM1X versus VE3FDX. Just thanks for doing the net, kid. It's been a great day. The depression was amazing. And hopefully I'll be back and see everybody tomorrow. Sounds good. I think that the Sunday, Gray is right, the Sunday nets are so informal and relaxed that you can come, talk for a couple minutes, leave, or stay for the whole thing or whatever. It's very relaxed. And I kind of like that. N9, OSU, Bill. Your turn. Final comments. All right, thank you, sir. And just getting ready to start the day here. Sort of eating. But I did clean up all the poop in the backyard. And now I'm cleaning up myself. So I will say 73, catch everybody out here, tomorrow morning on the cloud above my net. And this is N9, OP, saying so long. All right. If there's water, I can't see. How many years? Turn us around. All right. OK, OK, OK. Let's see, who's next? Who is now Ms. Kateri? Alpha Echo 7, Mike Romeo. Final comments, Terry. Alpha Echo 7, Mike Romeo. Where a JKL, if he was his own match as a young lady, I was married to her, he wouldn't be here. I can guarantee you. She was cooking, and she put her hand in the knife for her. I had to risk that and tweak her on the feathers. I walked by her, and one of the brothers I walked by her, when I looked down, there was a shirt track in my belly. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Yeah, yeah. You wouldn't have messed around with that Cha Cha Jerky girl, I'll tell you that. That's what that girl was. She is and was a good kid. But when they don't trust you, they got to turn them loose. Anyway, not a lot else going on here. I think it looks like we might actually be on our house in the sunshine. Looks like it's going to be 87 degrees by 5 o'clock today. And the rains are still in the Oregon area. Hopefully we don't have any there. Oh, that's another thing. The fallout in Oak Ridge is almost contained. I think it was probably started by the railroad 87MR back to the group. Have a great radio day. 87MR out. 87MR KM1X, you have yourself a great day too, Terry. Thank you for joining us this morning. And now we'll go down to WA6 ABC for final comments. KM1X from WA6 ABC. Well, thank you for including me in on today's festivities. Appreciate it. Glad I got in at the end. And nice hearing from the people that I did hear from. And always lovely. Always lovely whenever I come. So nice to hear everybody. And I guess we'll just close it down there. Going to take care of some cats. I got to jump in the shower. Got done with my work. Got a few bits of paperwork to handle here. Should be an OK day. Thanks very much. Off to work. And nice to hear everybody. Hopefully I'll be able to come in tomorrow and listen to the Sunday news. From WA6 ABC, Mike Linn, Rockaway Beach. God bless everybody.

I was like, wait, where are the chickens at? So, oh my goodness, an ankle, yeah Missy, I can relate. I didn't break an ankle, but back in my karate days, I had literally lived karate. Oh my gosh, I was so into it and became a second degree black belt and I actually lived it. And I was really good at flying sidekicks, you know, you're kind of running. I kind of remember how high I used to jump, but it was truly mind boggling even when I think of it today. Well, on one of those, when I landed, you know, my toe was kind of, my foot's kind of angled down like a tap dancer. And when I landed, it landed and twisted sideways and just ripped the heck out of my ligaments. And yeah, that put me on for six months and I was probably 20, 21 years old. I was pretty young at the time and oh gosh, for years after that, probably 10 years after that, even at that young age, if I was in the car and had the heater on, the heater's blowing down at the bottom by your feet, my foot would swell up. Yeah, finally got over it, but my gosh, that was the most pain. I actually wanted to stop. It hurt so bad at the time. Crazy stuff. So yeah, I don't recommend anything but the ankle. It didn't break any bones, but there's a ton of bones in your foot, but all the ligaments and muscle, yeah, it was really, really messed up. So anyway, other than that, Art, I'm just floating on in the background. It's warm. I woke up to 87 degrees and just didn't feel like riding because it was a bit windy, but tomorrow's my day to ride, so I'll get out there tomorrow. Anyway, that's it for here and it's Joe Mosley, it's KK, that was the back of the net. Hi there, Joe. All right, good to hear you this morning. It's like you once a day for being in the background. You never know what's going to happen yet. And I do see the WATDN is not connected. Don't know what's going on with that one this morning, but it's hard to tell. Yeah, they might be sleeping or trying to find coffee, so they're kind of... All right, buddy, you take care and we will talk at you later, buddy. All right, OK, let's go to KG6WKO, Kathy. Good morning, how you doing? KG6WKO, Kathy. Well, I'm sort of busy because I don't come very often, but I was up early this morning. It's supposed to be 90 degrees here, so I have to take the dog out for a walk and stuff. I lost my timer, so I got my set bit in my hand trying to watch the time. So I'm showing up for the three minutes because I don't know what I did with that little timer I used. I've been cleaning up the house and I actually started with my computer, which I didn't think I used. It's Windows 10 and in October it's not going to be supported at all. And it's an old computer, so I couldn't upgrade. And so it was either buy a new computer or take that one down. And I decided to not have a computer because I rarely use it, although my hand radio thing is on there to program my little bay thing, my little handheld radio. And my iTunes music I lost, but I decided to not get another one. And so I've been really busy. I started with the computer, now I'm starting with closets and cleaning things up. And some place I put that timer, which I'm going to be looking for. And I'm sorry, I missed you, it was because I was looking for the timer. So anyway, I took out the hard drives on my computer and two external hard drives that actually died and I couldn't get the information off of them. So I saw YouTube and I took them all apart and took out the little platters. I took out four platters from my computer and a platter for each of the hard drives. And now I have six platters that I don't know what to do with because they're like metal. They're like DVDs but metal. And to break them, I don't know. So they're in my bookcase. So anyway, it's free to get rid of all the stuff. I'm telling you right now, it's very free. I've been here 30 years and I've collected things that I don't use in closets and stuff. Anyway, I'm going to turn it over to you because I don't know how long I've been on and I don't have my timer. Back to you, 86WKO CABI, exit 73. Alright, sure CABI, alright. Yeah, good to hear you. It has been a while since I've heard you, so there you go. Let's see, well you can always try putting them in, putting them by metal platters in a place and bend them over and everything else. And get rid of them that way. Your dad will wait for some place that has a computer drop, old computer drop off and just drop everything off of them and they'll get rid of everything for you. So there you go. Alright, UJ Caron will say 73 for them. Alright, with that let's go down here to stand and metal. KB7, DBW, good morning metal, how you doing? Well, I guess I'm doing okay right now. I took my tie-lock drill here an hour ago and so I'm not in any pain right now. Let's see, my son came over yesterday and we started cleaning out of that bedroom and got rid of a few things. So he's going to have to come over again I guess or I'm going to have to work on it. One box at a time. I don't know right now, but when you first came out I was hearing a radio in the background. But it seems to have gone away now so maybe you turned it down. But that's it from, well it's going to be almost 100 degrees tomorrow and Monday here. So, good thing we got a new air conditioner put in here a couple of months ago. So we should be fine. KB7, DBW, back to you. Alright, good to hear you this morning. Yeah, well we're supposed to be like 85 today and then going to get closer to 90s next week and stuff like that with a chance of rain coming in. So there you go. But heat index is going to really, really make it bad here. So there you go. Alright buddy, we'll say 73 to you and you have yourself a great day. Alright, this is the worldwide friendship event. I am November 8th, I'm going to tell you that I'm here in Springfield, Ohio. And temperature is slowly going up, but it is humid out there. So with that I am looking for some more check-ins so please come in with your calls done. Slowly InfinitiX and TWICE.

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

But yeah, let's move on down here to V4, YYL. Good morning, Rosie, how you doing? On November 8th, Tango Hotel, Juliet, this is Victor Aquafoy and Tango Yma. Good morning, Arthur, and good morning to the lovebirds out there, Gina and Joe and everybody else on this vacancy, you know, we don't want to forget anybody, so nice hearing Cathy on there, that's for sure. So, doing not too bad, I wish that my ankle would be doing better, but however, arthritis is in there, so who knows when that will get better, so we're hoping for the best, but see how things go. Going back to the doctor in September, so however, I passed the mic over to my lovely husband. Good morning, everybody, VE4GWN in a currently sunny Winnipeg, although after lecture calling for 60% chance of thunder showers. You can use the showers, not the thunder, because hopefully the showers, if they go far enough north, will help with the fires, but of course we know what lightning can do. Not much on the schedule today, actually, in about three quarters of an hour, Rosie's got an appointment for a massage, and I'm right behind her, so that's going to finish off the rest of the morning. Tomorrow's a different story, we're going to be going down onto Memorial Boulevard here in Winnipeg to the Peacekeepers Memorial that's there, because today is National Peacekeepers Day in Canada, something a lot of people aren't aware of, and the reason August 9th was chosen is August 9th, 1974, 51 years ago today, nine Canadian passengers and crew were killed with a Syrian ground air missile shot down a Canadian Forces Buffalo aircraft flying UN colors on a routine flight from Ismaili, Egypt to Damascus as part of the United Nations peacekeeping. So even in peacekeeping it can be dangerous, that was the largest single incident, loss of life for Canadians in a peacekeeping mission, notice I said a peacekeeping mission, and that is why the day August 9th was chosen, and I do believe Canada recognized it initially, I want to say 2008, but don't quote me on that. And with that I'm going to say 73 back to net, VE4 GWN in Winnipeg. Thank you very much for that information, I learn something every time somebody gets out of here, I mention something and stuff like that, I didn't know anything about that, but hey, thank you very much for enlightening us. Alright, Rosie and Glenn, you too, have yourselves a great day and enjoy your massage. So with that we'll say 73 to VE4. But Dan let's move on down to KD7WA, good morning Roy. Well good morning Art and all the other hamsters out there on the worldwide friendship net, this is Roy, KD7WA here in Florence, Oregon, about 60 degrees, going to get up to around 70 somewhere in there, beautiful sunny, been pretty nice, 3 days at the coast and no rain, very unusual. Glad I'm over here though, it's going to be 100 degrees I think tomorrow in Salem, so I'll enjoy the 60 degrees that's for sure. Yeah the orvery group, we all went down to Moe's on the waterfront, I had some great fish and chips, and I think Sue had shrimp on a skewer and we had a good time and then came back and sat around the campfire and told lies last night. So yeah that's what's going on in Florence, tomorrow we'll be heading up the road about 90 miles to Nescone for 2 weeks. So that's it here from Florence, Oregon, this is KD7WA back to net control. Well that's the whole fun of it, sitting around the campfire telling all kinds of tall tales and stories and lies and whatever else you can think of. Well I'm glad you're having a great time and hey we will talk at you later, 73 for now. So with that, that brought me down to the bottom of the list, this is the World Wide Touch event, I am November 8th, I'm going to tell you it, you're in neck control for the day, and the name here is R. Del for Romeo Tango and Springfield, Ohio.

Alright with that let's move on down here to 27 D.C. Hey, Miss Gina how you doing? Well good morning there Art, and everybody else out there on the worldwide friendship net this morning from the sunny Portland, Oregon. I think we're getting in the upper 80's today. Last night we went down to Salem and watched the Portland Pickles Summer League Baseball team beat the Merrion Berries in our first game of the playoffs. So tonight they're coming up to Portland and we're going to be headed to go see them and cheer on our pickles again. Before that we're going to the Clark County Fair, see all the wonderful 4-H exhibits and the animals and watch the tough truck competition. I love that one where they drive a course for time but the course is made to destroy the vehicle so parts go flying off and things break. They're lucky to finish it sometime. So been doing that for a few years and continuing on going up there to watch it with some friends today and enjoy some fair food and take in like I said all the animals and 4-H projects there. So everybody take care, have a wonderful Saturday and I'll talk with you all later. This is Gina in Portland, K87 GEC 73. Alright Gina, alright well glad you guys enjoyed the minor league baseball league game last night and I always wondered is, you call them the pickles, are they sweet pickles or are they sour, grubby pickles? So there you go. Alright Gina and enjoy the fair, enjoy the fair. Every time I hear somebody out that way say Clark County I kind of think I'm out here because we are in Clark County here in Ohio. So there you go. Alright and enjoy the demolition derby. I like watching them on YouTube so I've been catching them on the 2025 season of all the demolition derby fairs around Ohio and around the country here. So there you go. Alright you take care and we'll see you in 73 G. Have a good one. With that let's move on down to the KC7 LRS and KC7 JST. And it'll be Joyce and Joe. Hey good morning. Good morning. Good morning there. Joe and I are kind of late here. We didn't go outside and Joe doesn't have his radio and so wow we're behind times here. Just going to have a lazy weekend and my friend Rose he'll be over later. Late afternoon spend the night and we'll always have some fun, good times and laughs. Nothing else earth shattering or anything so just still hot, hot steamy Phoenix and no rain in sight and a big forest fire still going. Probably the biggest one in Arizona history. Very, very mismanaged fire. I think should have been out a month ago. But anyway, that's the way it goes. So, and Rosie get feeling better with that ankle and Missy too. That's no fun. Everybody take care and I'll turn it over to Joy. This is KC7 LRS. Hey, good morning there gang we had to share HT here this morning. Anyway, on a lighter note the pool is 88 degrees so it was gorgeous yesterday afternoon. And it's essentially 100% shade at four o'clock in the afternoon so from there on you can swim clear till midnight if you want. Anyway, on this M drive thing, you know that the unit came and network accessible storage got four drives in it and a computer for storage. And it was supposed to be refurbished. Well, it doesn't work. And I found about 12 things I think that are broken in there, a little pieces of plastic came out the size of a nickel. When I unpacked it for our drives are two of the four our guys were were pop pop partway out of their slots, when I opened the box. And all of the was a crush newspaper they put in there and four or five of those bubble packs and they were all exploded. So, anyway, I'm going to try to get my money back. And they want me to send an email so I've been composing an email and it's going to blister their, their ears with the facts of what they did wrong, specific things that are broken in the unit, as I inspected. And obviously it doesn't work more than you ever wanted to know so I'm going back to my coffee, tasty seven ghd, but we'll listen. Hey Joe Joe Yeah I know it goes with your stuff and get there and it's not all there or it is part of it is broken so there you go. And you gotta fight with everybody to get your money back or get traded in for different stuff there so. Go back to your coffee. Alright, Joe Joe Joe thanks a lot for checking in. And we will talk to you later. I am looking for support checking. So please come reach your call site slowly infinitex it twice. And if you are short time or mobile and let me know and I'll get you to stop the list. So with that, please come now."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T07:48:48+00:00","id":15419,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15418,"text":" KK, Ace, Seven, Z, prepare recheck.

We got KK7V, KV7WA, KG6WKO, KV7PVW, and KC7LRS. Alright, okay, not hearing anything else. Let's move up to the top of the list to the first reject, KK7V. Good morning, buddy. How you doing again? Hey, I was at low that remark. Yeah, it's the reject round. Yeah, well everybody is. Sometimes Saturdays, you know, people are sleeping or something. So, I figured I'd step on some crickets. I don't want to get too many. I don't want to slip. But, yeah, I was just checking on Tippert some time about where everybody is. But, I was going to say, yeah, Kathy there, if you took the discs out already, out of the drives, I think the best thing to do is just destroy them. But, what I've done over the years, if I have an old computer, I pull the hard drive out of it, and you can buy a case for it. You put it in the case, and it has a USB connection to it, and plug it into another computer. And I've erased those drives, or taken what I've been using and erased the drives, and I use them as, for backing up files, just as an external drive. And I found an even better way over the last few years. Actually, there was a business here that was literally throwing out computers, and I saw a bunch that were sitting outside, and I actually asked them about them, and I said, hey, you want to take them? And I pulled out eight hard drives. It literally takes seconds to pull a hard drive out of a computer, and they were 500 gigabytes, only a half a terabyte each. And I wound up buying a dock, as long as I got under bucks. You can put two drives in it, pop them in, pop them out, put another one in, another one out, and you just plug it into your USB-C, so it's a faster drive. And I used that for backup, so anytime I do videos, or anything, I transfer the files from my drone or cameras to multiple drives, so I have backup. And like I said, you can just pop the drive out, and pop another one in, and there you go. I have unlimited sources of backup there. It works really, really well. So anyway, just a little computer nerd stuff there, and it's AT7Z, Reqec, Reject. Back to you, Art. Alright, George. Alright. Yeah, I've heard you talk about doing that before, about taking the hard drives, and knocking them up, and using them over again, and stuff like that. Alright, buddy, thanks a lot for the information, and we'll say 73 to you. Alright, Art. Nice to re-check. Reject. It's KG7W8. Go ahead again, Roy. Mike 7, Whiskey, Charlie Charlie, UK, standing by. Hi, it's with the RV group, and I get a text from Tom's son, my fishing buddy who passed away, and my grandson called, and the grandson's a fishing guide, and I got a free trip offered to me up on the Sletch River, I bet I had to turn it down. I'm getting too old to drive 60 miles at old dark 30 in the morning to go up and go fishing, so hopefully next time I'll be in Salem when they make that offer for a free fishing trip, so I'm a little bit disappointed there. So, yeah, I'll check with him a little later on and see how the fishing was up there. With that, that killed a couple of crickets, so we'll turn it over to more Re-check, Re-checks. So this is KG7W8, back to net control."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T08:03:20+00:00","id":15422,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15421,"text":" So I don't like driving. Just times that I just don't mind too. So there you go. I'm just getting too old, I guess. But it's not a stuff like that. I'd rather just stay home myself. But all right, you take care. We're dead here. Let's go down to another reject. K-E-6-W-K-O. Hey, go ahead, Kathy. Uh, K-E-6-W-K-O, Kathy. Um, you know, you have a computer with platters now. There's four platters in the, in the, uh, computer was surprising because I watch the YouTube. There's only supposed to be one platter. The guy, but there was four. There was three sort of in the bottom of it. But no, there are platters. I'm not gonna use a computer anymore, that's so. But I was, you know, I have photos. But they're all in USBs and external archives. I've got to put that in my computer. external archives, I don't have it. I think my beneficiaries can hook them up to their computers and get the photos off. And be careful with OneDrive, because I had confidential information up there that should not have been up there. I had a list of state stuff, and on the bottom I had my computer password. That was up there. On OneDrive, it automatically used new computers and they just seemed to go up to OneDrive unless you turn it off, and it's another backup. But they can't guarantee security on their server. But I am too old for it. It's too complicated, I'm too old. I'm quite happy with my iPad and my iPhone. And so I found my timer. I stuck my timer in a fake place next to my ham radio in the second bedroom, and now I have a timer. I'm gonna quickly tell you one other story. I don't know if you have a Fitbit watch, but I've been cleaning out my house a lot, going up and down step stools and stuff like that. And they gave me a warning that I was having atrial fibrillation. They gave me it several times, and I was supposed to let my doctor know. And they had it all printed out. They sent me a notification. But my pulse went from 40 to 150 apparently, several times. Now I have a 40 pulse because I take a bed of blocker for PBST, which I have a skinny heart, which gets fast. So anyway, I photocopied to my doctor who had me come in and do EKG yesterday and lab work, and they're all normal, except I have a low pulse, which they know because I take a bed of blocker. And because if I don't take a bed of blocker, my pulse goes really high and gets skimpy, and I don't give enough blood to my head. But it's not life-threatening, which, it may seem not life-threatening compared to arterial fibrillation, which can be. You can die, it's very life-threatening. So anyway, so that was interesting. I had never done a notification from Fitbit, ever, and I've had this thing over 10 years. And so, but I was like, everything was normal, and I'm fine. And I had to be careful with an espresso coffee because I was drinking two a day, and that's why I'm so energetic cleaning up my house, and it has a lot of caffeine. And that, so I can only have one cup. So that's my little story, added story. So anyway, it's nice listening to everybody. I'm gonna give it back to you. I have 29 seconds in KG6, WKO. Back to you, exit 73. All right, here, Candy, all right. 29 seconds to go, so there you go. You should have just ran it out. All right, Candy, all right. You take care, and yeah, I got two Windows 10 computers here and I'm not willing to upgrade. I don't care if they do not support them after October. So there you go. Until they totally break down and stuff like that, I'm gonna use them. I'm gonna use them till they both die, obviously. So there you go, they're useful, useless. So there you go. All right, I can't afford a new computer anymore. I'm not like my kids or my grandkids. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. But I do take funny girls on trees. You can ask my wife on that one. So we're in, I'll say 73 to you, you have yourself a great day. Let's move on down to another reject, JB7PDW. Go ahead, Santa. Well, I think that might be a record for rechecks. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Yeah, I was just trying to fill in some time. I'm gonna go and fix myself some breakfast. I tried something new. Take a baked potato, may I say a medium sized one, and wash it off. And take a paper towel and wet it and wring it out and wrap the potato up in the paper towel and put it in microwave for five minutes or so. If it's a larger potato, maybe six or seven minutes. I don't know. But I'm gonna go out there now and slice it up and have me some fried potatoes with my eggs this morning. We'll see how it goes. I'll let you know. JB7PDW, back to net. This is repeater station, 707 November. All right, yeah, well, fried potatoes, eggs. Yeah, cook up some stem to go with it. So there you go. Or bacon. Or sausage, there you go. All right, buddy, you take care. Go enjoy your breakfast. And we will talk to you later. All right, the last one on this list is KC7LRS. Good morning, Joyce. I was gonna come up with something, but I couldn't think of it. Oh, OK. That was good timing. I just left the room here, and it might be back any minute. So I was just gonna say, Joe, sure wish you had some videos of you being the karate kid, karate guy. And with some of those side leaves, that must have been something to see. Wow. And anyway, Roy and Sue and Lily appreciate that lovely wedding photo you sent there of the family, wedding, and a beautiful scene. So we're envying you and thinking of you on that beautiful, beautiful coast. So enjoy for us, for sure. So that's all I wanted to say. So everybody have a good weekend, KC7LRS. And here comes Hilda the Roomba. Back again. All right, OK. All right, thank you very much. For your rejection. And stuff like that. Yeah, it does get a little bit quieter out there at certain times of the morning. But that's all right. That's all right. All right, I see a couple pop up here and there. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna try this one. M7WCC. Hey, baby.

KC7FNW, VA6GRZ, um, ABC, how you doing? Hanging in there, I kept trying to recheck in the net to let you know something and they wouldn't let me in, so I thought I'd just get on and tell you. Um, um, the ankle thing, um, ice, um, is pressed for the ankle when you've got swelling. Um, they, they recommend that, um, just don't do it for too long. Like, 20 minutes, 15 minutes is the best. Get, like, a towel or something like that. Rub the ice in the towel so it doesn't, you know, get, um, too close to the skin. But for swelling, um, yeah, it's, it's always, um, ice. Even after my, um, surgery, they, they have been putting ice in between my, um, boot for my ankle to keep the swelling down. There you go. It's ice. They say, I don't know about, uh, for ankle, so, but probably my physical therapist, I'll have to ask them on Monday, but, um, They used to say ice something for, like, 15, 20 minutes and then put heat on it. So, but I don't know if, like, if you've, um, done what I did, if the heat is a good idea, but they're still saying that ice is the best idea. Casey 7 FMW. Uh, Casey 7 FMW. Yeah. I had to double check myself on whether I had your calcite right. Yeah, it's right there in front of me. Yeah, mine is, uh, mine is just on my, on my foot, uh, right above my toes. And, uh, yeah, I, I should be alternating between, um, hot, cold and hot. So, yeah, okay, so that's what I gotta do. And, uh, and, and see if my physiotherapist has any suggestions as well. So, I should be, uh, heading back upstairs here in a few, um, so I can get finished, get ready, head out the door just after 10 o'clock. So, um, yeah, it's, um, it's a, it's a real pain in the foot, I tell ya. So, there we go. Alrighty, yeah, uh, I did mine for 20 minutes. Um, off and on. So, I guess I'll do the same for hot packs as well. So, do, do hot then cold then hot, or do cold then hot then cold then hot. So, there we go. Okay, and, uh, I've been text-boxing, uh, messages with, uh, DB1YB, the scout, uh, Jordan Webster. Oh, yeah, they just put that in the, uh, the Jordan website. So, uh, good, I'll have to make a note of that, uh, for when, um, we do Jordan in October. I haven't been able to get, uh, um, to, um, be, uh, connected with, um, them, but, um, at least I, uh, I got the, uh, six-meter rig going, but it's not, um, the conditions have been, um, not good. So, I just want somebody local to try to check in with me, but, he said, nobody's using six-meter anymore. Everybody's using on HF, HF, or VHF, but even the VHF band is pretty quiet, so. Alrighty, good hearing, Missy. Good hearing you again. And, uh, oh, did you figure out what song you were going to put into the contest? Not yet. I'm getting close, but I could still use the suggestions, um, but I'm thinking, um, maybe Coffee Girl. People keep telling me that's what they want me to do, but I, I don't know, um, but maybe Coffee Girl on my way to leave, but I think that would make me cry because of what's going on with her. I just found out yesterday that the friend that's taking care of her isn't giving her her thyroid medication correctly, and that's why her thyroid's low. I tried to talk my friend into, you know, give it to her with cheese, don't give it to her with soft dog food, because it doesn't digest correctly, and it's not going through a bloodstream. My friend's like, oh, I'm going to do it the way I want, and I'm just like, you killed my dog, I'm going to hurt you, you know what I mean? So, um, I'm very upset about that, and I'm trying to find a new place for Linda to go, so it's a scary times for sure. Um, anyway, so I'm serious, I'll let you go, get ready for your appointment, so have a great day. I'm going to try and find some coffee.

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 callsign and that will keep the FCC happy. We will be compiling several rounds of stations during the net. After building each round we will ask each station consecutively for reports. If you'd like to check in only just let us know that you will be in and out also known as an I.O.

Well, we're very good morning to you guys and thanks for getting the net underway here on a Saturday morning. Well, Saturday afternoon here. It's just 1 34 p.m. here in St. John's, Newfoundland this afternoon. And we've got a thoroughly decent day out there. We got a temperature of 28. Yeah, 28 degrees Celsius. Not sure exactly what that is in Fahrenheit, but I guess you can do the math if you're interested. 28 Celsius anyway. So definitely the warmest day we've had so far this summer actually. The highest we had before this was 25 and I don't think that's quite 80. I don't think 20, 28 is quite 80. I'm not sure now could be. I'm not 100 percent, but it's warm by Newfoundland standards anyhow. Not really much going on just here in the shade trying to to beat the heat. So I'll be listening till the end of the net. 7 3 and all the best from here on the rock. This is the 01. Hey, Daryl. Thanks for your report. Good to hear from you. And we here in the Pacific Northwest are coming into a heat wave ourselves. So we're going to be in the upper 20s and Celsius ourselves this coming week. So stay cool. 73s and thanks for listening. Up next is Matt, KI6 KTE. Good morning, Matt. Good morning, Dana. How is my signal? Wow, you sound truly mic 5. You sound great. Go ahead. OK, good morning. And I am talking about a portable, which is why I asked, because I am messing with my my non portable rig. I'm trying to make it a functional all star node. I figured I was thinking I would love to have an all star node when I travel so I could check in the nets and stuff. And I don't I don't love the these droid star experiences. It's passable, but I'd like something better. Anyways, I was like, I have a Raspberry Pi. I have an audio interface. I have a radio. I should be able to make this happen. Well, so far I have things wired together, but these these are all things that I would but the software side and trying to figure out how to configure it correctly comes today. So that's what I'll be doing that and running irrigation. My sweet baby angel Daphne chewed up some of it last year and it's getting to that time of summer where putting some water on the ground because.

Well, you know, that's one of those figures that I always remember because it's 28 degrees Charlie is 82 degrees Foxtrot so you just invert the numbers and you've got it right on and the two scales cross at minus 40 And I don't ever want to live anywhere where that happens. So there you go That's my story Of temperature. There you go Yeah, we got some warm temperatures coming in here for sure I know that the Willamette Valley is gonna be up in the hundreds But I think we're only gonna get up into the upper 90s in the next couple of days so we'll see today's big project we are going down to the County Fair Creek County Fair and Yeah, yeah talk about critical reports You know Sam wants to go to the 4-h Auction which is really fun because you know, these kids have been raising these you know everything from from cows the steers the to turkeys and chickens rabbits you name it and the fun one was last year we were there and a the blue ribbon Turkey Tom Sold for 275 dollars and it was a 27 pound turkey and that's per pound They were paying for this thing so think about that for a little bit that's one expensive Thanksgiving dinner, but actually they'll use it as breeding stock.

Good morning Bill, KG7SWB, how are you doing? Good morning Theresa and Dana, yeah strange morning. Anyway, I want to know which one of you is telling the truth. You both refer to each other as your better half. Which one is telling the truth? Hi, hi. Anyway, this morning I'm going to go out and do some shopping. Looking forward to the Green Lake Ice Cream Social tomorrow, I will be there. And yeah, I haven't done real well at Mahjong this week. So I still consider myself a student and every game I learn a little bit more. So that's about all I have other than our get together tonight for music. And we never know what's going to occur. Anyway, back to you KG7SWB. Hey good morning, Bill great hearing from you. And gosh, you know it's funny I have a friend who plays Mahjong and of course my first understanding she laughed at me because I was thinking of just a little, gosh kind of online you know you sometimes get this Mahjong game it's basically just pairing tiles, it's not the real game you know that actually takes a while to understand and learn and practice and all that. So when I mentioned that she laughed at me and I was like oh no this is actually way more in depth than that. So anyway, good on you. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the music. You know I have to say when we were at the picnic a couple weeks ago, I sure enjoyed watching you play the guitar with Dave. That was a lot of fun to watch and listen to. Good stuff, have a wonderful weekend and 73 Bill, great to hear from you. Okay, KG7FWB, KG7AI, still looking for stations for round two. All I need is a call sign and name, please come now.

I'm out of town right now coming to you by way of one of my own DVM, DVSwitch Mobile through All Star. And I am up in Kropotka Beach, British Columbia, north of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. I have a nice little place on the beach looking out over the Gulf of Georgia. Pretty nice day up here, going to be in the low 70s. My wife and I just came up here for the week to just relax and I like Canada. Just nice people, nice little good food. Very partial to Wiener Schnitzel and for some reason that's very popular up here and there is a wonderful Schnitzel place right across the street. Blackbird Schnitzel and I had Yeager Schnitzel last night and I'm a happy camper. That's about as good as life gets so I think I'll just stop there. Back to net control.

Yeah, my wife just said that she's, after listening to your check-in now, she's hungry. I love visiting Canada, and actually, my, two of my stepchildren just went up there for a concert, actually, in Vancouver a couple days ago. But yeah, the food's good. You know what I told her to bring back, and she forgot, I think, was Coffee Crisp, something we don't get down here, that they have it up there, so. I'm probably dating myself, but I believe, I could be wrong, but I believe I'd remember buying that in the United States many, many years ago, and being disappointed that you can't get it here anymore. Anyway, good stuff, Bill. Have a wonderful weekend, 73, and thanks for stopping by. Next on the list is Madeline, KJ7NUW. Good morning, Madeline. This is repeater station Q. Well, hi, Teresa and Dana. I think Dana's probably there, I don't know. I did tune in a little bit late. But anyway, hello, and hello to everybody on the net. Yeah, it's Madeline, KJ7NUW. I like Canada, too. I hadn't been there for a few years, you know? And went earlier this year and really enjoyed it. So I've been a couple of times. One time, my parents and I went up there just for brunch, really, and to go for a walk, and then I went up for an overnight as well earlier this year, and it's lovely. And I agree, lovely people and absolutely beautiful up there. I mean, it's beautiful here, too, but, you know, it's nice to get away for a weekend and see something new and all that. Well, today, this morning, I am in the process of starting a batch of mustard. I've checked in before and talked about how I really enjoy fermenting things. And so I have this year, and I guess part of last year, but anyway, recently, I've gotten into making some stone-ground mustard, and I do it by fermenting it in a jar. And it works the same way as like, you know, sauerkraut or kimchi or whatever. You know, the naturally occurring bacteria just like kind of, you know, softens it and gives it a really nice flavor and, you know, adds some seasoning to it. And it's a really yummy like kind of stone-ground mustard that I love to have with brisket for some reason. Mustard and brisket together has just like become one of my favorite things. So anyway, I'm getting the batch started today. I bought some at a, I bought some mustard seed at a store called Kalustyan's in Manhattan, New York City. And I'm looking forward to trying this particular mustard seed, so anyway. Okay, with that, I will send it back up to you. Thanks so much for hosting, and a radio wave to my friends out there. I look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow at the Ice Cream Social. KJ7 and UW Madeline back to net. Oh my goodness, you guys are making me hungry. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Dana's looking at me like, yeah, that's it. My mouth is watering, yeah, absolutely. Oh, good stuff, Madeline. You have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by this morning, and looking forward to seeing you tomorrow at the Ice Cream Social. Okay, next on the list is Dean, KJ7 ODB. Good morning, Dean. Good morning, Teresa and Dana and everybody on the net. This is Dean, KJ7 ODB. Yeah, a couple of things. So, yeah, creating an all-star node from a Raspberry Pi. One of the ways you can do it, though, the way I did it with mine, is it's probably the most bare bones way to do it. It's literally a Raspberry Pi, it's a Raspberry Pi 3, with one that I just had laying around. And I've got this really cheap USB headset that I plug into it. It doesn't have a transceiver hat or anything like that, so it's literally just a Raspberry Pi with the USB headset. But I don't use it that much, and when I'm away on vacation, I'll check in just using a repeater phone on my iPhone. But I found that that's an option, is to just a Raspberry Pi with a cheap USB headset. It actually works. And anyway, other than that, yeah, I haven't been up to Canada since before the pandemic, and I should go up there because it is, you know, whether it's going to Vancouver or just going to some of the outdoor places up there. It's really nice. I have one of those Nexus cards, so I should take advantage of using it. In fact, I haven't used it since the last time I renewed it, so the next time, you know, I'd hate for them to say, well, you don't use this thing, so we're not gonna let you have it. Although one of the reasons I got it at the time, there was a period of time where getting the Nexus card was the cheapest way to get the TSA PreCheck. So it comes with TSA PreCheck and global entry and all that stuff. It was $50 for a while, but I think they've raised it to either like $100 or $120 because it's so popular. Anyway, I look forward to the ice cream social tomorrow. That should be a lot of fun. And so I hear John, KG7WOI, is going to be there. So it almost doesn't matter whether he checks in today on the net like he normally does at 10, 10, but well, I hope he does check in. And hi to everyone out there. Even to Keith in the Wrenton Highlands, who's another one of the stragglers at the end.

Great to hear from you this morning. And, you know, I think it's been, it's been, last time we were in Canada was for the, um, I think it was for that concert, the Brit Floyd concert that we went to up in Vancouver. What's that? That's been a different function too. Oh, that's right. Yeah, there's been some hockey games as well for the teenager. But, um, yeah, good stuff. Great to hear, great hearing from you this morning. And, uh, looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Um, yeah, the ice cream social, that is going to be a lot of fun. We, uh, we're planning on bringing the dogs. We're going to do a lap or two around the lake. And, uh, visit with some friends and have some ice cream. And it's always a lot of fun. So, hey, Dean, great, great hearing from you this morning. Have a great weekend, 73. Next on the list, last but not least, actually, on this round is Michael, uh, KBA, BNY. Good morning. Hey, good morning. This is KBA, BNY and Lacey. And, uh, let's see, um, I guess first of all, I'll mention, I've never been to BC. I've been to Ontario tons of times. And when I was a kid, we used to go roller skating over there. And then when I was older, I used to go over, uh, uh, hiking and boating and all kinds of stuff over there. And, uh, in fact, my parents, just before they passed away, they bought a condo that was right across the, uh, St. Clair River from, uh, from Sarnia. And they were just about ready to buy a, uh, buy a house over there. So, uh, they really liked it there. And, uh, so I'll have to go up to BC sometime. I don't know if right now is a good time to go. Maybe we'll wait a little bit, but I'd definitely like to go up there and see what it's like. And, uh, yeah, as far as going through TSC, I've got a, uh, I've got a trick card. I think I'm on my third, second or third trick card. And you need those to get into, like, when I go into the port, uh, some, uh, custom-funded warehouses require that, but definitely in the ports. And, uh, I used them down in Houston. I use them up here. And when you have a TSA card, I think that qualifies like a pre, like a pre-check. So, um, a couple of people have told me, including, uh, some guys at the port, they said if you fly, you just show your trick card and I think you bypass TSA. Because you're already background checked quite a bit. So, uh, anyway, uh, this weekend we're working on a fun project. I've got a brand new Raspberry Pi. We're going to, uh, see if we can turn that into an All-Star node. And I got that for my birthday. This is my birthday weekend, so. Actually, my birthday is a little, in a couple days, but, uh, I got a little early because, uh, those in the know know that I, I need a little bit of time to, uh, to play with it. And we have a four-day weekend, so we've got plenty of time to get this thing going. So that'll be kind of fun. So we'll see if maybe, uh, we'll have a regular All-Star node. Because right now I'm coming in on a PPE switch. But, uh, that way, uh, we'll hook up some radio equipment and see how that works out. And, uh, let's see. That's about it. Good to hear you guys. Uh, haven't checked in in a while, I don't think. But, uh, anyway, I'll pass it back to you, uh, Theresa and Dana. Have a very good morning. And, uh, by the way, it's sunny and, uh, about, I think it's in the 60s right now. We're going to warm up, uh, but it's a beautiful morning out here. So, anyway, 73 KVIPM line. Well, hey, good morning, Mike. Great to hear from you. And, uh, gosh, all, you know, all the best on your birthday. Uh, happy birthday, Dana says happy birthday. And, uh, have fun with the Raspberry Pi. So many people this morning, it sounds like. Well, so many, of course, two people have mentioned. Um, but that's more than usual, uh, setting up an All-Star node with a Raspberry Pi. Um, actually three people technically, including myself, because I just, uh, received a new clear node that I need to, uh, that I need to set up and prepare. I want to, I want to use that when we go to Spokane. So, anyway, um, great to hear you out there. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy this beautiful, beautiful day. Okay, this says Kilo Golf 7 Alpha India India. I'm going to hand it over to my lovely better half, KG7CGP. Oh, and by the way, um, oh, really quick, his boss, er, was it boss? Oh, hey, it was boss Novavil. And, who's the honest, who's the truthful one? And, uh, who's the truth teller and who's the liar? It could be one of those, uh, logic puzzles. And I'm going to maintain I'm the one being honest. That's, that's my, that's, that's, that's my truth. And, and, you know.

Hosting the NuneNet will be Cami, KG7RAB, and Robert, KJ7JXM. Stop by the net tables and pick up your ice cream ticket. Redeem your ticket at the Green Lake Cafe concession stand across from the paddle boats. And come back and hang out with your ham friends in 3D. Take a bike ride or rent a boat. Oh, you can rent a boat. Or just walk around the lake. We're going to walk around the lake. I think one time is enough. I don't think we need to go twice. Bring a folding chair, a hat, sunglasses. Don't forget your sunscreen. It is sunny and warm out these days. Call on frequency will be 146.550 simplex. Parking, parking lot is near the concession stand and Evans Pole on-street parking is also available.

Thank you so much for doing the net this morning. It's great to hear everybody. Stone, ground, mustard. Boy, that sounds like a real treat. It's always wonderful being up in Canada, and it's been so long since I've been up there. I think the last time I was up there, I was in Kelowna. Boy, that is just such a lovely place. Of course, Vancouver. Love the aquarium. Man, oh man, oh man. Wonderful, wonderful place. November, Quebec, November. Fair enough. I am moving really slow this morning. I don't think I'm going to move fast today. I was out yesterday. Took care of some much needed stuff. Got my daughter's car scheduled for some maintenance next Wednesday. And there you go. So, I'm going to just kind of lay low. I did get some much needed refresh on my sweatpants that now fit. They're not falling off of me. That's what happens when you lose all this weight. So, there you go. I'm in much better shape. And with that, I will bid everyone adieu. Beautiful day. Don't burn. And RTFM. WQ7H back to net. Love your check in there, James. Thanks. Good to hear from you. My wife and I, that's where we met at NetManage. And we were, what would you say we were? We were doing developer support for a product that I don't think we knew of anybody who read the manual. So, we use that acronym all the time, RTFM. So, great to hear that. Again, throw back some memories there. And mustard. Hey, I didn't know you fermented mustard. I didn't know. I said, no, I didn't. I thought you just ground some seeds up in water. I don't think it works like that. But I've never done mustard. Hey, 73s, have a great weekend, James. Okay, up next is Brooks, K9, BDC. Good morning, Brooks. Good morning, Dana and Teresa and everyone on the net. K9, BDC, Brooks here in Newcastle. I'm going to be doing a little bit of a review of the product. Good morning, Dana and Teresa and everyone on the net. K9, BDC, Brooks here in Newcastle. Having a pretty good morning this morning. I'm just sitting here with some old brew coffee. And coming here, we are sitting out in the family room because the office, the office slash ham shack is completely empty. And the gentlemen are here taking the popcorn ceiling down to the last room of the house. So they're going to do that today. And then get that primed and they're going to come back in the morning and finish up the painting in there. So then I can assemble my new desks and get those put in place. So, yeah, that's all very exciting. Let's see, today we've got the board meeting coming up at about 30. And I'm looking forward to the rain or shine tomorrow. Tomorrow is a lot of fun. That's what we've got going on here. Tracy is all spread out on the couch. Just snoozing. Remy, I think, is on the floor right below her. And now we're just hanging out. Thanks for doing the net, 73. Dana, BDC. Hey, Brooks. Great to hear from you. I'm 63 at check-in. I'm 73-2. You have a great weekend. And I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. K9 BDC, KG7 CGP.

K9 MLR, Megan here at Pullman Newcastle. 33 TU bolts and gradu bolts are going to make it tomorrow. It'll be good to see you at the Rainer shine and Green Lake tomorrow. I just finished cutting out the ice cream tickets. They are all cut out and ready to go for tomorrow. And then my little brother is moving today. So I think I'm on duty to help move some boxes. Because I'm not going to be able to help moving the big heavy stuff. Because I'm just not going to do that stuff. But I guess I'm on call for that. I don't really know. They said they were picking up the moving truck at 9. And I haven't heard from them. So while I'm waiting to hear from them, I'm just going to relax and take it easy. Thank you both for doing the net. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. 73, that brought the K9 MLR. Hey, Megan. Thanks for your check-in this morning. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Hey, 73s. Have a great weekend. K9 MLR. Up next is tree, Kilo Kilo 7. Foxtrot Kilo Bravo. Good morning. Hey, good morning everybody. Wow, it is turning out to be a very beautiful day. It was also a very beautiful night as well. I woke up around 3.30 in the morning, just sort of wide awake. So I hung out, went outside a little bit. Howled at the moon. My neighbors were totally thrilled. Just kidding. But it was a really beautiful moon last night. And then I hacked on some code up until around 6.30 in the morning. And then I felt tired again so I went back to bed. And now I'm just kind of getting up and waiting for my coffee to finish brewing. Yeah, it's going to be one of those Saturdays. Other than that I just wanted to say hello. Take care everybody and have a fantastic day. K8K7 Foxtrot Kilo Bravo. Hey tree, great to hear from you. Make me laugh about howling at the moon. That was funny. Yeah, the moon was beautiful yesterday. So we're going to be doing, we just got a telescope for looking at the stars. We're doing some stargazing. And we did some stargazing the other night. It stayed up too late to really get up and work the next morning. So yeah, we're doing that these days. We're stargazing. So we're going to get our telescope out and check out the moon tomorrow. Or tonight, excuse me. Hey, have a great weekend. Hope to see you tomorrow. Kilo Kilo 7 Foxtrot Kilo Bravo. Okay, K8K7 CGP.

Okay, this is K8K7 CGP. I just have to say that I'm not going to turn it over to my lovely wife. I think I'm going to take a call to her. She's lost her uncle over this past few days. I think yesterday he passed. It was about a year after her father's passed. So she had to take a call with her aunt. So my condolences to K8K7 AII for her loss. And we're going to start round number 4 here. Looking for a call my name and sign. Please come now. K8K9 IQX Amy.

Good morning, Amy. Well, good morning, Dana, 33DU, and sending condolences to Teresa as well. Good morning to everybody on the Nudge. Let's see, I just slept in, and today's going to be an exciting day, very exciting, of cleaning out the fridge, or stop working, and I'm not sure why, but upon some good advice, speculating that it might be the condenser coils that needed sawing out, I did unplug the fridge the other day, so today we're going to throw out a lot of stuff, unfortunately. Stuff that had gone bad anyway before we unplugged it, which is how we realized that something wasn't right with the fridge. So anyway, today, probably along with that, I'm going to poke around back there to see whatever I can see while Wilkes poking around. There's an access panel or two. You know, that's why they put access panels there, to access stuff. And at the very least I can look at it, and then see where we can take it from there. You know, friends of ours have suggested, you know, the University of YouTube to diagnose fridge problems. So there we go. So that's going to be the exciting part today, but not right now. Right now what's happening is coffee is being made, grounds have been deposited into the French press, and I'm now waiting for the water to boil, so that's what's going on. Oh, and I wanted to, I am not a paid shill, just like I am not a paid shill for Bob's Quality Meats in downtown Columbia City, but last night I had dinner at Communion, which is a delightful, it's on 23rd near Union. It's a delightful restaurant. Oh, so good. Had some good fried chicken wings, had some good, oh it was like this nectarine summer salad. It was really good, and some excellent mac and cheese. Kind of like southern Creole-ish Louisiana style cooking. So, it was so good. And then had chocolate truffle balls for dessert. So there we go. Communion is a good place. Check it out. If you like to eat. KG9 IQX. Amy, did you say if you like to eat? Was that what you said? Well, KG7AI loves spice. Is that what you said, Amy? Back to you. Yes, yes, if you love to eat. If you are addicted to eating and want to try a new place, KG9 IQX. Okay, I got it. I think we are all addicted to eating. It's a compulsory addiction. It's true, we need it to survive. But someone asked me one time, do you live to eat or do you eat to live? I don't know. Our circumference around our bellies, I would say we probably live to eat. I don't know. We are working on that though. We are both on diets. Okay, KG9 IQX, 33, 73, 88, all the numbers to you. Okay, let's go up and talk to Peter. Victor Echo 1, WIN. Good morning, Peter.

I think that it is one, you know, I'm taking it as one of those fun little logic puzzles that you often see. Like, I don't know, when I was growing up I used to love those kinds of logic puzzles. There's one truth teller and one liar and you can ask one question to determine which one is which and all that. So that's the way I'm taking it. So anyway, thanks Bossa Nova Bill.

And I will say that all this talk about food and the misunderstanding with Amy about whether she said heat or eat, reminds me of, we took, so Victoria, our oldest, excuse me, youngest daughter, tongue tied this morning, has been talking about this restaurant in Seattle. I think we mentioned it actually last weekend that we went to, it's been over a week ago now, but Dave's Hot Chicken. And I tried, I almost feel bad because Vicki was actually filming me as I ate the hottest chicken that they had. It wasn't habanero, no it was, no I think it was reaper, Carolina Reaper sauce, a dry rub I believe. And you know I can tolerate some pretty darn hot stuff and so she's like, but you're not reacting. Oh yeah, they made Keith find a waiver to eat it, which I think is kind of silly because it says you can die, which is not the case, you're not going to die from it. But anyway, so yeah that was really, really delicious and the chicken was really good actually. Oh and, well yeah okay, so we had an unfortunate event in the family, lost my uncle last night. We knew he had been diagnosed with cancer and passed away last night. In fact I was just talking, my aunt called me and talked briefly while Dana was doing the net. So yeah, thinking of him and of course condolences to the McClain side of my family. Actually might be listening, I've given them links. So anyway, that's all I've got.

Hey good morning Jack, KI7-RMU, how are you doing this morning? Oh hey, good morning Teresa and Dana and everybody else. I am doing fantastic. Let me put the hose down, I'm just out in the back garden here watering and looking at things. Kale is really coming up, all the crop is looking fantastic. The cherry tomatoes are coming out, we've got some cucumbers. Oh look at that big cucumber, yikes. Okay, I have to get a truck to haul that into the house probably. But having a great day, looking forward to the board meeting this afternoon of course on the ice cream social tomorrow. Oh what fun that will be. Hope many of you can come out and join us and it's going to be great. And I tell you, I'm looking up at so much blue sky, I can hardly stand it. Where's the rain? Oh wait, what did I just say? No, I'm crazy. Anyway, having a great day, I'm really enjoying it and I really cannot wait for the weekend to commence. Oh it already is. Anyway, back to you, I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. Oh that's Teresa, I'm condolences to you and the family of course. Anyway you two are doing a great job as usual and I hope to see you all tomorrow. Thank you very much, KI7-RMU, back to you. Hey good morning Jack and thank you for the condolences there. It's interesting because my father passed away almost exactly a year ago, so it's actually a year to the month. I think it was later in the month than now. Anyway, so thanks for that and thanks for checking in. Tomorrow is going to be a great day, it looks like the weather is going to be beautiful. And Green Lake is going to be amazing. We're planning on bringing the puppies because they would just love a walk around Green Lake. The only reason we sometimes don't bring them is because they're a handful. They've got small dog syndrome in my opinion. They are just a little rambunctious and too willing to bark, at least Lady is. Anyway, thank you Jack, KI7-RMU, looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and have a great weekend.

You're definitely very legible. I can understand everything you're saying. There is a bit of a hum that is on your signal, but it's almost barely noticeable. It's certainly there, but not interfering with legibility at all. So I'm not sure if that counts as multi-pass, but it seems like almost, what's the, yeah it's negligible, but it's almost like you have a handheld that's connected to a wall outlet.

So beautiful day, and we'll talk to you a little bit later for the board meeting coming up at 1.30 this afternoon. The links are on the website. And there you go. So back to you, and hope to see you but you're down here tomorrow. KI7RMU. It's fun to hear the background noise of just the hum of the outside, but also the dink, dink of the pickleball. Well, thank you so much for checking in, Jack, and posting the pictures. We do have, PSRG has a Facebook discussion group page for all events, but also just to be able to have discussions. So yeah, we do have a Facebook discussion group page. So check that out too. But yeah, thank you so much for your report, Jack. Appreciate all that you do. And I won't be able to make it tomorrow. Yeah, I just can't swing it. So yeah. But anyway, that's all right. I'll definitely make a point to check in. But yeah, 7388Jack, thank you so much for everything. All right, this is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. You're listening to the PSRG new net on this day, August 9, 2025. Let's get some more stations. Call sign and name, RF and internet. It's E-7, this is Charlie, front door, you're in the middle of this is Bill. Grossy, W7, BNG. All right, I have BNG. Grossy, I have Bill. Is this KJ7BIH, Bill?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T12:23:33+00:00","id":15507,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15506,"text":" Awesome, and then there was one more station in there that I didn't catch. So I've got Bill, I've got Grossie, who else was in there? This is Kilo Charlie to Sierra Tango Oscar. Got you on the list, Charlie. More stations. Call sign and name, RF and internet. It's Wilco, W7 LCO. That's who it was, Wilco, W7 LCO. Awesome. I'm going to put you a bit further up on the list because I know you were down there. Yeah, I could hear you. I could hear that voice. Let's go ahead and draw a line there and go back to the top. Bill, I know that you had a shout out during the Lake Washington meeting about SAG driver. I'm hoping that you will mention that in your report. So Bill KG7 BAH, KK7 IJZ. KJ7 BAH, you're driving back home from another VE session. We tested a young lady that was a net control operator assistant person at Flying Wheels and she got her general very handily. We had a young man who got his technician very handily and another gentleman who tested for all three and did very well on the first two and fell short on the third so he's going to do some more studying and come back. As to the bike race, the bike ride, the Redmond to Bellingham slash Vancouver ride that's coming up in a couple of weeks on a Saturday. That race is still in need of SAG drivers. If you don't know what a SAG driver is, it's somebody who has the capability of carrying a bicycle inside or on a bike rack and some passengers inside in case you have to get a wounded rider or bicycle back to a bigger point. It's a great way to use your ham radio skills. It will require a deadly serious VHF radio because I'll be doing that control from Education Hill to repeaters up and down the course. That's the plan. If this sounds interesting to you, a way to actually use your ham skills, drop me a line at my callsign kilojuliet7. bravoindihotel.com. That's that easy. KG7BIH. Back to that. Well, first of all, that's so exciting. That, yeah, General and then a couple of new hams. That is awesome. Thank you so much for your volunteer examiner service. Everyone, please always remember that being a ham radio operator, being an amateur radio operator is a service and there's so many volunteer opportunities out there for you. And one of them is being a volunteer examiner, which is a lot of fun. Yeah. Well, thank you so much for coming in with your report, Bill. I appreciate it. And yes, please get in touch with Bill. He volunteers a lot on bicycle rides and races and is always in need of volunteers. But for this one specifically, if any of that sounds interesting, please hit him up at kilojuliet7. bravoindihotel.gmail.com. And yeah, I hope that people get in touch with you, Bill. I'm not sure what the little red rollers say to you, but you never know. It's what I call my car. It's very small. Well, Bill, thank you so much, 73. And thank you for checking in. This is Rebecca KK7IJZ. Next on the list is Grossie. Hey, Grossie, how are you doing this weekend? Please come ahead with your report. Well, I'm doing pretty good. Everything's going good. I went to my doctor the other day. I'm going to have to go in the hospital next month, but that's OK. It's a quick, easy procedure. Good old kidney stones. I get them every 10 years like clockwork. Well, this one came early. It came in in nine years. So we're going to I guess I'm going to go into one of those chambers where they just blast them. I'm not looking forward to it, but might be easier than the other way. The other two ways I've had one, two, three, four. This is the fourth bout of them. And if anybody's had them, they know they're no fun. But anyhow, that's the story I'm at. Rabbits are doing good around the property. I forgot I had another commitment for tomorrow, so I'm not going to make the ice cream deal. So oops, I'll make it again some year. And I was looking forward to jamming with the guys, too. But there again, oops, always something throws a monkey wrench into stuff, but that's OK. Life goes on. Otherwise, everybody have a good day. Better tomorrow. Gross, he said to you. Talk to you guys later. W7, DNG. Oh, OK. Yeah. Rather than later, blast those things out. At least you know when to expect them every 10 years, right? Well, thanks for stopping by, Grossie. Have a great weekend and, yeah, you know, there will be more later shines. Seven three and have a wonderful, wonderful weekend. And next on the list, I'm going to call for Wilco W7 LCO KK7 IJZ. Please come ahead with your report. Hello there. Thank you for running the net. This is Wilco. I just got back to the boat this morning. I went down to Burien Cares and took one of the doggos out for a walk and some playtime and got some coffee. Nitro cold brew at Burien Press. And the weather is amazing. So I'm just going to open up all the doors and windows on the boat and get some nice air and natural light in there. And I will be opening up the floor panels looking for my leak, which I've been trying to find for about a week. A one week leak, you might say. So that's on my plate for the afternoon. And I guess that's about it. So I'll send it back to you and let the roll call move on. Seventy three to you and everyone out there. Whiskey seven, Lima, Charlie, Oscar. Before you run away, Wilco, I need a doggo report. What's this doggo situation? How many? Two, three, five, one names, call signs. K9 report, Wilco, back to you. Yeah. OK. All right. My bad. This little pit bull that I took out today is super cute. He's about 45 pounds. Super shorty. Very mild mannered, sweet temperament. His name is stud muffin and he's about a year and a half old. Extremely cute. I think he might be deaf, actually. He seems like not really responsive to human voices. So. But yeah, I have been looking at adopting a dog again since I got divorced and my ex has our husky named Eleven. And so I've just been looking around at the shelters and on the pet finder app. Oh, and also, I forgot to mention last night I went to the Little Red Hen for watching Knute Bell, who's a country singer, and tried my hand at doing some dancing, some country dancing. So that was a fun date that I went on last night. So that's the doggo report and the date report. Back to you. Whiskey seven, Lima, Charlie, Oscar. Yes, that is awesome. You know what? That's over. Everyone have a great day. Just joking. Stud muffin? Are you kidding me? You need to keep that pit bull. Stud muffin. I love stud muffin already. I can't even believe it. A little shorty pit bull. His name is stud muffin. My favorite thing about pit bulls is they look like they're talking to you. Their little expressive eyes and their little b-stick head. I love it. I love pit bulls. I love all dogs. I love all animals. Human and non-human. And dancing? What? I love it. Way to go. Way to grab the bull by the horns, so you can speak. Getting those dates in. Dancing skills on point. That's amazing, Rocco. And yes, I hope the week gets fixed. Eventually, you know, we just roll out the duct tape. Just start taping the bottom of the boat. Just tape it. Tape everything. No, don't do that. Just joking. I don't know anything about boats, but yeah. Well, that's great. Well, you and stud muffin, just keep on doing what you do. And thank you so much for the doggo report. I hope that you and stud muffin get together forever and ever and ever. And that the week gets fixed. Thank you so much, Rocco. And also, Contra dancing. Can't say enough about how fun it is. Contra dancing. Do it. Or not. 7-3, Rocco. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. Last on this list is Charlie, KC2STO.

Well have a good day, Charlie. 73. This is Rebecca KK7IJZ. Let's keep this net in the middle of the lab. Let's keep this net going. This is the PSRG Noon net on this August 9, 2025. This is Rebecca KK7IJZ. More stations RF and internet. WB7J, this is Rich. Hey Rich, more stations please. K3OE, the other Rich. Yes! I almost automatically wrote down your call sign. K3OE, Rich. I feel like you and Wilco would be, uh, yes. I feel like you and Wilco would be friends. Maybe, uh, maybe that connection can be made. Got you on the list, Rich. K3OE, more stations please. KG7ODD.

The first Rich of this round, WB7J. Rich, how are you and your cat adventures going? Hey Rebecca, good afternoon and good afternoon to the net. And good job K3OE for jumping in there. Let's see, the cat adventure isn't so great. We had a cat meltdown in Prince George, BC. My plan had been to take this sort of prolonged road trip with the cat. And my cat, Pella, she does a great job of traveling. We've been back and forth to Mexico a few times. Now, what she hadn't done a great job of is acclimating to a new place overnight. To go to a new place in the past that's taken her three or four days to settle down. My hope is that she would adapt to a changing nightly environment. And my hopes were dashed. So I skedaddled back, I mean as far as Prince George, BC, I skedaddled back to Seattle. Puyallup really. Let her hang out in an environment she's familiar with. And then I went off to the beach at the Pacific Coast. Pacific Beach is the name of the city just north of Aberdeen, Oakley, and Meria. And I've been camped out here and it's been a cool little experiment. I've got my little lithium iron phosphate battery set up with a solar panel, a little cooler and a bridge, a big tent with a cot and a chair and a little table. I mean it's, I'm trying to emulate the RV experience without the RV expense. And it's been a fun week. I've got a couple more nights here. Then I'll head back to Puyallup, pack for Mexico and head back. That's my report, Rebecca. Thanks for doing the net. 73 is to all WBs. Well, Rich, I am sorry that you ended up with the one cat in the entire world. That was not able to adapt. Just joking. Cats. Gotta love them. Well, I hope that you and Bella are, uh, yeah, get back in the routine of things and go head back to Mexico to find Miguel Allende. Have a wonderful time on the coast. That does sound lovely. Just camping on the coast. The beautiful Pacific Northwest. Yeah. The Olympic coast. Sounds lovely. Have fun camping. I'm looking forward to y'all's net tonight. You sound great, by the way. BTW. And yeah. Thanks, Rich. 73 and 88. It's always good to hear from you. Next on the list is one of the many Riches. It's Rich and Polo. K3OE. Who's going to just spout, just spew the joys and wonders of owning just the most wonderful dog. And also being a tinkerer. K3OE, KK7IJZ. Well, hi, Rebecca. And the other Rich, of course. Oh, my goodness, yes. You know yourself with Andy. You know, even if you're having a rotten day, you've got a dog. Puts their snout in your lap or on your arm. Everything is better. So that's the way it is now. You trying to check here? There we go. I guess that was a check in from Polo. Anyway, doing great here. I made some salad for lunch, which is always good. We need our green stuff, that's for sure. So I did that and got Polo out for a really nice walk this morning. It's so pleasant. You just got to get outside and enjoy it. Back to you, K3OE. This is repeater station Kilo, Kilo 7. Hello, Polo. Hey, Polo. Give Polo so many kisses for me. I love you, Polo. Hello. Oh, Rich, have a wonderful salad and a wonderful weekend in West Seattle. It's a beautiful day out here. And I hope that the two of you make it to the ice cream social. I'm sure that you will. And, yeah, I feel like you and Volko would get along. Not that you wouldn't. I mean, Rich, you're the best. All of the Riches are the best. But, yeah. Volko, W7LCO, meet Rich, K3OE. Rich, K3OE, meet Volko, W7LCO. Y'all pick out each other's QRZ and become friends. Do it! 73 and 88 Rich and, yes, so many kisses to Polo. Hi, Polo. Thank you for taking care of Rich. All right. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. Next on the list is Dean from Middle Lake. Yuck! KG70DB, KK7IJZ. 88 Dean. Good afternoon, Rebecca. I almost said good morning. It's a sense of d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu. So it's really funny, after the Lake Washington net, I was wondering, has anybody ever done the Lake Washington 11 o'clock net and then done the new net on PSRG? And I kind of thought I'd heard it, it had happened before, but now I've got the definitive answer. It would be interesting if the net had gone all the way up past noon, what would happen. Or if it went right to noon and then it's like, give me five seconds and let me change my frequency. Well, it's good hearing you again today. It's kind of a nice thing. Yeah, not really doing a whole lot. I was doing a little bit of research online. There was a question that was brought up near the end of the morning net about how much wattage you should use in your car if you have a mobile rig in your car. And it's always been my understanding that the car itself acts as a Faraday cage. So it doesn't mean you have to be not conscious of high power, especially around 50 watts. I've been curious about this question because recently I was doing a, a couple months ago, I was doing a Parks on the Air over at Lake Sammamish. And I had my mag mount antenna on the roof of my car. And so normally when I'm doing FT8 on, you know, especially mobile, I rarely ever go above about 20 or 25 watts because FT8, you're going at a very high duty cycle. You're just on completely during the 15 second transmissions you make. And at one point I was trying to reach a faraway station. And so I turned my power up to, I think it was 70 watts with my mag mount on the roof. And all of a sudden my computer screen goes blank and other little things like the mouse pad wouldn't work properly while I was transmitting. So anyway, it kind of makes me wonder, so I'm going to do a little more research on this. And yeah, I know it was Christian, KK7AIX asked the question earlier, and I know that's not any kind of definitive answer, but anyway, it's, y'all is learning something new. So anyway, this is KT7ODD, back to Nat. Well, Dean, I do have some news for you. This is my second time back to backing Nets. The 11 am and the noon net. Second time. Second time's a charm, right? And it's really not that bad, you know, whatever. I talk a lot in general and nanny for a five year old, so I am talking all day long regardless. So here I am, doing Nets. But yeah, interesting report. It's always good to hear from you, Dean. I, uh, my cat Avi is in my lap now. He is tired of me hosting Nets. He wants me to lay down forever and be by his side for eternity and for us to just be together forever in solitude. Just snuggling. And he's decided that's going to start right now. But, uh, yeah. Well, thank you so much for your report, Dean. 88 and all the numbers and have a wonderful, wonderful weekend. Next on the list is Jeff in Onion City. Alpha Bravo 6 Mike Bravo. Please come ahead with your report. Good afternoon, Rebecca. This is AB 6MB on San Francisco Bay. We're sunny out and 76 degrees. So, it's supposed to be 82 today. Meanwhile, I just went a little bit ago. I had a really good night's sleep, which I needed, and got my coffee at the ready and I'm not afraid to drink it. I'm just getting going here. Interesting about taking a cat traveling. I'm not surprised. They're very territorial and very much like their space in a certain way. So, that's interesting. Sorry that happened. Uh, see here, uh, yeah, Saturday is my favorite day for amateur radio. I've got this. Then I've got the, you know, the, uh, the board meeting. And then I've got a 3 o'clock net that's really good. Then 5 p.m. is the, uh, ham radio crash course. And then, uh, 8 o'clock is the, uh, Papa System, uh, anything but radio net. And then 9 o'clock is the, uh, PSRG net. So, yeah, the whole day is filled up with great nets. So, I really enjoy it. It's my favorite day. My, uh, my grandson wanted to come over today to visit and I said, well, can you do it tomorrow? Because, uh, my whole day is kind of filled up. And he goes, yeah, I can do that. So, he's a pretty cool kid. So, uh, anyway, that's it for today. Oh, yeah, the squirrels, uh, filled up the peanuts and the nuts and got them ready. They haven't, I mean, I just got up here a little bit ago and I haven't seen them yet. But I guarantee you they'll be around. They got to do a quality check on the peanuts and nuts to make sure they're tasty. So, Sara, turn it back to you. AB6MB. Oh, that's sweet. Your grandson wants to come visit you. How amazing is that? Aww. Well, that's fun to have. Thank you so much for the squirrel report. I hope that the quality check goes well and that all of the nuts have been approved and consumed or hidden in a very secret, top secret location. Um, yeah, have a fun amateur radio day. Just, yeah, that's great. All of these things. Oh, yeah, I forget that the Ham Radio Crash Course does their live situation every Saturday evening as well. Um, yeah, well, have a fun day, Jeff, and we'll hear from you again later on tonight on Bill and Rich's Net at 9 p.m. Ah, 7388 Jeff. All right, this is Rebecca, KK7IJZ, and you are listening to the PFRG Noon Net on this B-8 radio station. It's a beautiful, beautiful Saturday. I'm going to go ahead and pause for announcements. Okay, for all events to consider, please check out psrg.org. That's psrg.org. There's an events to consider column on the side there. Lots of events to consider, volunteer opportunities, and yeah, swap meets so much, so many things. And on psrg, you can become a member, and it's free, you have access to the remote HF station. If you are interested in helping update and expand the remote HF station, or looking for volunteers for that, please get in touch with our Vice President Brooks, K9BDC.

Just click the Zoom link to attend. You must be a board member to, um, vote, but, um, yeah, just kind of see how the sausage is made. There is so much that happens behind the scenes. At psrg, there's just a lot of hard work and love goes into maintaining the club in all different sorts of ways. So, yeah, just even if you have it on in the background, just listen to a board meeting, more of an understanding of how the club works. And then tomorrow is our ice cream social at Green Lake. So, Jack, KI7RMU and Boston Overbill usually get there at the crack of dawn, helping set everything up. And they just kind of go on all day. The new net is hosted there by Cami and Robert, KJ7JXM and KJ7RAB. There's always donuts and coffee, and it's an ice cream social, so there will be ice cream. At Green Lake, there's lots of things to do. You can walk around, hang out, dog watch, and, yeah, and meet a bunch of fun ham radio folks in 3D. It's always a good time. And, yeah, just putting faces to names, face to call signs. It's a lot of, it's so much fun. So, then tomorrow's rain or shine. The new net will be hosted there, so get there, you know, any time around the new net. Early, late, they usually last a long, long time. So, Green Lake.

But anyways, it's a lovely day in the undisclosed location that I am. But Anna should be on her way here soon. Hopefully, she's catching a flight to the unspecified location. If you pay attention on APRS, you may be able to catch it, but that's all I'll say for now, and that's all I really got. I've been in and out of the net because I was catching an Uber ride, so. Anyhow, nice to hear you all, and I'll throw it back to you, KG7WUI. Well, Matt, you two have fun at the ice cream social tomorrow. No, I don't know. I'm not hooked up to APRS. I'm just guessing. But, yeah. Well, Matt, sorry the Uber driver got you all flustered. I'm glad that you are safe and sound now, and has coming, and yeah, all of the things. Great to hear from you, Matt.

Victor Echo One, we'll get the call signed business. Victor Echo One, we'll get the call signed business. Victor Echo One, we'll get the call signed business. Well, hi there Rebecca, and hi to the net. It's Madeline, KJ7NUW. I've just been listening to the net on and off as I'm like kind of puttering around this morning. My current little micro project is that I'm up on the neighbor's roof and I'm like messing around with a, I'm upgrading a mesh casting node. The story there is that where my neighbor lives, he's kind of like up, like he's got more elevation than where my place is. And he's kind of like a little bit on a ridge that like has good, like a good radio horizon. And so I convinced him to put a mesh tastic node up on his roof. So anyway, I'm up here, you know, just like servicing the node a little bit and getting, you know, just like tweaking some configuration and stuff. It was a good little thing to get me out of the house. Anyway, enjoying the net. Thanks for hosting and a radio wave to my friends out there. And that's about it. I think I'll send it back to net control. So K-T-A-7 and UW. Sweet, have fun up there on the roof, Madeline. And yeah, that's fun. Mesh tastic node. I feel like I haven't heard from, I haven't heard from mesh tastic for a while. I feel like people were kind of doing another mesh situation. And yeah, it's good to hear that mesh tastic is still going strong. I love it. And yeah, hopefully see you later on the, at the board meeting if you're off the roof or if you're on the roof. I guess you can attend the board meeting while you're still on the roof, but we shall see. Well 33 and 88, Madeline, have a wonderful day. And it's good, always good to hear from you. Enjoy listening to the net. Next on the list is Amy. KB9 IQX, 33, Amy, please come ahead with your report. Well good afternoon, Rebecca, 33 to you. And I feel like, you know, like there should be little maracas whenever you say my call sign that way. Like you should be shaking maracas in the background. Anyway, I'm doing well. Oh, I'm taking a little breather because, so as I mentioned on the net earlier, our refrigerator decided to stop working and I unplugged it and I'm gonna, you know, look at it, give it a stern look, maybe just like, I've often found that sometimes if you like gently blow on across a porch or a thing that's broken, you know, sometimes that fixes it. So I might do that, poke around, see if I can see anything that's obviously bad. And then plug it in and see what happens. In the meantime, you know, we just kind of took out all the food that's clearly not salvageable, separated it out from the stuff that needs to go out back to the compost. So, I was doing that earlier while listening to the net. Ooh, ripe things smell ripe, you know. Not, you know, I'm not even like a super smeller. My sinuses are actually not that good. I've had like, you know, chronic and periodic sinus issues my whole life, so my sense of smell isn't really that bad. But all ripe food is ripe, that's all I gotta say. And it's really, it always makes me like, think for a second, like I ponder, like deeply and philosophically. I was like, wow, this strong smelling food, you know, like I mean, yes, scientifically there is something given off in food that's gone bad. But sometimes it doesn't even take that much for me. Like sometimes just knowing that something is like, past its prime and I should toss it out, you know, I smell it and it tastes like normal, or it smells like normal food, but at the same time, like something about the fact that I'm taking it out to compost sometimes just makes me like, oh, that's a lot. Even though it might smell just like perfectly fresh food. So anyway, I always think about that every single time when I'm throwing stuff out, food out, or you know, food scraps out to be composted. Like, oh, he's apple, you know, like, these apple cores or whatever. Well, no, because the way I eat apples, I don't leave a core. But for the sake of argument, let's say, oh, these apple cores smell like apples, but I know they're going out to compost. I'm like, oh my God, that smells terrible. The human mind is a weird and funny thing. KB99QX. The human mind is a weird and funny thing. Yeah, I get that. You know, I have been vegan for so long that I just don't really think twice about, like, whether I like leave food out or save my leftovers in the car, you know, whatever the situation is, because I really don't think about that it's going to make me sick. And I live in a house with people that consume animal products, so I've started having to think about that more because I will leave something out that Leo ate, and I'm automatically like, it's garbage, it's trash, because it's not vegan, I just think it's garbage. All this garbage. So, yeah, same thing. It's not even like the smell. I'm just like, I can't. So if it's like a day old, I want nothing to do with it. I will not let them touch. But, yeah, I get it. Yeah, it's like the smell. Maybe either you or Kate just kind of stand by the refrigerator, and the other one of you just take like a rubber mallet or something and just give the refrigerator just a swift, just like whack, just like whack, and maybe that will just whack it back into shape. Bam. There you go. Refrigerator works. I've heard that works too. So your blowing method or my rubber mallet method, I feel like between those, you know, it's already broken, so why not try? Why not try? But, Amy, enjoy your body odor, enjoy your lovely day, and have fun doing whatever you do to that refrigerator. Turn it into something now that it's just a vessel that you can just store stuff in. Turn it into something. 3388. And all in numbers, Amy. Enjoy your day and, yeah, have fun. All right. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. Next on the list is N5XCX. KK7IJZ, please come ahead with your report. Great. Thank you very much for taking me. My name is Woody, and I'm in the very Florida. The very is about 46 miles northwest of Orlando. So there is something. And I grew up in Texas, though, so, you know, I'm missing being Texas because both you and the same girl. Well, anyway, just come in, say hi, and I will go about my business and talk to you later on. Yeah, very good evening, and enjoy the weekend. George, search the world. Have a good day right now. N5XCX, 73. Well, thank you so much for your report, Woody, and, yeah, you can, we do have an All-Star node, 2462, so if you're connected to All-Star yet, feel free to come back. We do three of these nets a day. We do have quite a few people from not only all over the world, but a lot of regular folks from Florida. So, yeah, please check in again, and remember, you can connect to us directly. 2462 is our All-Star node. And, Woody, thank you so much for checking in. Have a wonderful day in Florida, and I hope to hear from you again. Next on our list is KF5UCO. Please come ahead with your report. This is KF5UCO. Name is Rick Romeo India Charley, and it's a little marquee thing, Sarah Zero-Necolik, way down Texas way. Well, I am actually on the very tip of Texas, almost in Louisiana, but I'm still in Texas, okay? It is very odd down here today, high humidity, and heat of activity, not getting better for the last four days. And I am really wishing for October to January, because I like to be outside with my dogs, as you can see on my QR head page, I know that's a shameless plug, but they're up there with the ones that are now silent keys that are part of our family and fill in our hearts. And that's really about all I've got, other than I wanted to ask, I just left my iPad on, and so I'm not sure what net and when this net is. I know it's on the Alaska server, but I don't know what net I'm on right now. So if you could give me a time when you guys are on, and I've got a location, a date and time, I would really appreciate it. KF5UCO, back to net control. Well Rick, thank you so much for joining us. I am from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, so yes, I am very familiar with all of the Texas towns that border Louisiana. I have driven through Texas many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many times. So yes, welcome. This is the WW7PSR repeater located in Seattle, Washington. So we're in the Pacific Northwest. And our all-star node is 2462, so you can connect to us directly. You don't have to connect to us via the Alaska node. So 2462, put us in your favorite. And we do three nets a day, all Pacific time, 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. every single day, every single year. And all the nets are different, all the hosts are different. And it's a really, really active repeater system. So even if a net isn't going on and you feel like having a two cell or chatting with someone, just throw your call sign out and there's a 100% chance that some wonderful person will answer back to you and you'll have just an awesome, friendly two cell. So yeah, we are the WW7PSR two meter repeater located in Seattle, Washington. We are the Puget Sound repeater group. That is psrg.org, psrg.org if you want to look us up. Three nets a day, 9 a.m. noon and 9 p.m. So welcome, Rick. I hope to hear from you again. 7-3 and yeah, enjoy, enjoy, yes, enjoy Texas. All right, this is Rebecca KK7IJZ. Next on the list is Corey in Nova Scotia. I think I got a VE1 out of your call sign, but Corey in Nova Scotia, please come ahead with your report."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T13:15:22+00:00","id":15514,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15513,"text":" Victor Echo 1, V1 Charlie, Mike Delta, VE1C and V0 Rebecca.

KB8, BMY, hey Mike. How's it going? And 33 to Courtney. Hey Rebecca. I'm doing good. Courtney's downstairs with her mother talking of all kinds of stuff. Recipes or whatever they're talking about. And other stuff. And I'm working on getting an all-star node running. So I've got the PI loaded, it's working. I've got a connection to a radio here. And now just kind of figuring out what else I need to configure on this thing. These things are really complicated. There's a lot of stuff to one of these that I realize that. So anyway, I looked at statistics, it has a little graph, but everything's kind of neat. So still in the process of configuring this and figuring it out, but it's pretty neat. Pretty interesting stuff here. Looks like my Raspberry Pi is doing its thing. So these are just neat little, I love these little devices, they're slick. So anyway, that's about it, we're just doing that. We'll see how we do it. Takes a little while to figure out how to configure this. But anyway, having a lot of fun. We'll pass it back to you, I've been listening to the net. So in the background here as I've been doing this. So everyone have a good afternoon. And seven from the Woods and Lacey, KB8PMY. Mike, I'm not sure how I missed it, but what are you configuring? Back to you, KB8PMY, KK7IJZ. I'm in the process of setting up an all-star node. Normally I come in on a web transceiver, but I thought, hey, why don't I see if I can, if I can make my own all-star node here. So I have a Raspberry Pi, I have a, it's kind of like a sound card connector, it's an AIOC. And that will hit the PTT on a transceiver. And so I've just configured the AIOC and loaded the all-star, I guess it's ASL3 on a Pi. And now I'm looking at a, I guess this is a terminal control board or something that links to it. And I'm just looking at how to configure it. So it's a lot to take in at once, but it's pretty interesting stuff. Anyway, that's what I'm doing, KB8PMY. Got it, that's what I thought that you said. I don't know how I missed it, but yeah. Well, honestly, well, that's cool. I love that you're doing that. That's a fun radio project. You're always getting into something, that's great. And yeah, tell Courtney I said hello and have fun with her mom, you're in-laws. And yeah, enjoy putting together the Raspberry Pi and listening to the net in the background. That's fun, Mike. Thank you so much for checking in. It's always good to hear from you. And yeah, let us know how it's going. And give us a holler if you need any help with anything. You know there's tons of people that put together all those Raspberry Pis and soundboards and such. By the way I just found it, it surely isn't me, but there are lots of other folks. So yeah, well that's great Mike, 7-3. And have a great weekend. All right, next is DJ, KG7QEO. Hey DJ, how are you doing? Over to you. Good afternoon, this is Tyler, you're seven quite excellent operators. Name here is DJ Delto Juliet. How can we? DJ, wherever you are, you sound like a perfect angel. Please come ahead with your report. Well I do try. Um, this is KU of Lufthansa, get back here for a while, just KG7QEO. Well, the uh, solar panel came in today, or yesterday. I've got my boyfriend here with me at my friend's shack. I call it the shack. It's mostly road signs. But it is a building structure of sorts. And it is a winter roll. It's got a bed and a couch. And now a projector, and now we got power outlets. Eventually, the batteries are charging. May not be done today, but who knows. Still figuring out placement of that solar panel. Ideally 100 watt would be better, because then you know, for sure it would be done in one day. But you know, 30 watts.

So, but yet we're still getting reports every several days from V7 NFR-11. V1 Echo Papa balloon was launched the 17th of 1700. V1 Echo Papa has circled the Earth in 21 days and now presently over Manitoba at 39,000 feet about to cross the Hudson Bay waters.

You'll be able to view the launch. A complete guide on what is required for a launch on my QRZ page. I've even created a service where you can now adopt the Pico balloon.

One of the means they use to detect some of these is in France. There's a radio radar system in France. This is used to watch for satellites and space debris around Earth, including meteorites and asteroids. It runs on a 143 MHz Yagi antenna and it detects objects passing over the radar station. It can be used to detect meteors and asteroids. That's one of the ways they do it. They have these stations all over the world that detect these overhand. They have satellites above us doing the same thing. The ISS also collects information about all these objects that are up in space. There's more attention being paid to the fact that there's interstrands being produced by these satellites, the clusters and the constellations going up from SpaceX. These are producing radio frequencies that are interfering with radio astronomy. Not intentionally, but it's a product of the way these satellites are put together.

Much further out, 20 millimeter distance is 4 flowers per second at 15 meters in diameter. Either one of those pose any real danger to us. And potentially answer to objects.

There's something out there for everyone to take a look at, regardless of what optical abilities you have. Summer Triangle and the Milky Way. So if you look to the southern sky for the Milky Way, you'll also spot the Summer Triangle for that Vega star and the Lyra, and the Vamp and Cirrus, and out here in acrylic. So you can see the Summer Triangle there as well, you can see the plane of the Milky Way, very dense region of stars. And there's a new planet forming a double in August 12th before sunrise. Actually about 45 minutes before you see Venus and Jupiter, less than a degree apart, so they're almost together. And the Abenakiar should be able to resolve that at one degree. You see that little bit of spacing there, so they're very close. And you also might spot, for the Abenakiar, there's going to be a lot of areas out, maybe 7x50s probably, something a little bit more powerful. You'll be able to spot a few of Jupiter's moons, but I think 7x50s should be able to spot a few of Jupiter's moons. Dropping. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. And then there's the coat hanger cluster, and it's about behind the stars in the shape of, well, a coat hanger. And technically we'll take a look at that, get yous off the star charts and look for where you can find that. There's also the arrow, arrow at the diva. And the arrow is about four stars and a constellation of qua. And just look for Altair, the summer triangle, and then look a little above it, because that's where you'll spot the arrow. And that's exactly what it looks like. And the dolphin is an asterism, so it's in the summer triangle. It's a diamond shape of four stars, so just a few stars in there. And look for, again, Altair, and go towards the Great Square of Pangasus.

And in Andromeda galaxy, now there's one, you can see that just make an eye, looks very fuzzy. It's about 2.5 million years away from us. And you can, on a dark sky, see if they can help you if you have a binoculars. Here's a lot of magnification because it's such a big thing you're looking at and it's diffuse. The more magnification, the more spread out it is, again, less satisfying to look at. So binoculars, even they can eye and take a look at that.

And follow that along to the corner of the pericard, the corner of the pericard square, which it'll take you right to. And you'll see it just about there.

And then they find themselves looking uncomfortable and also can potentially disrupt their sense of smell. Being wet, they can smell the gas at that point etc. So it's not a problem that way. And also their movement becomes more difficult and leaves them vulnerable because they're weighed down by all that water on their fur and it makes it more difficult for them to be able to get around.

This is Hilo 6, Hilo uniform problem. That question there, that experiment, that sign, that one degree here was 31 degrees, I think it was 1.32, so it didn't really wager much, but I didn't go much further than 31.32 out there. So that's 87, 87.3, 187.8 degrees Fahrenheit. I placed a thermometer in my car with the windows down, the windows were down about 2 inches, maybe 2.5 inches around there. And I left it in there for an hour, so this is right about 1 pm, and at 2 pm I went out, checked the thermometer, so I got a little portable weather station. And I checked that in at 2 pm, and 48 degrees C, so it had gone up quite a bit, and that translates to 118.4 degrees Fahrenheit. And the ambient temperature at that point was still 31, just drop it. So, I hope so at that point, Hilo and Charlie 8 uniform, the Hilo station back in, and waited for another hour, so I went back out later on. Everything is pretty much the same, ambient temperature, etc. At this time, the temperature is 51.4 degrees C, so 124.52 degrees Fahrenheit. It can get hotter in a vehicle than that, and I was just thinking about the experiment today for people, about, I think it's around, I think around 104, or 104 degrees when people start to release fuels out of the heat. You're in that temperature for a prolonged period of time, drop the percent. Yeah, somehow VE3 would drop off at Canada Hub, and I hope they're backed up together, so right now there's a couple guys that tried to start a Q-cell. So I kind of missed a bit of the beginning of that, KB3JQQ. Okay, Scott, I'll repeat that. I'll just go over, email for a timely experiment. Did you catch that much? Yeah, we should have got pretty hot in there. Go ahead. All-star, note 6222. Yeah, we heard the temperature results, VE3RQBJ. Okay, good. So you got all that, so at about 40 degrees C, 104 degrees Fahrenheit, people who were in that for a prolonged period of time, that's when you can expect to start to see symptoms of heat exhaustion, heat stroke. It also depends on the amount of humidity, so you can also have lower temperatures and still end up with heat stroke, especially because you can't evaporate the heat because the perspiration is not leaving your skin efficiently. And 85 degrees Fahrenheit, 29 degrees Celsius is too hot for a dog. So you can imagine children, a small child or a dog left inside a car, even with the windows down a crack or so if they're rolled up, the temperature extremes in there, and you can see how these catastrophic things can happen. So it gets really, really warm inside a vehicle. In low temperature, I can't get hotter inside of a car. If I had my car out earlier, maybe around noon, when it comes, it's actually coming right down on top of it. The temperature would have probably been even worse. It gives you an idea.

And Chris, you don't understand where you're coming from with that. I mean, the air relative to the inside of the car is moving. But it depends. Once you start, you turn left to right or speed up a bit. That air will be swashing around inside the car a bit. But oh, I understand what you're saying there. And then Scott, what was it you said? I didn't catch that. I was saying that the thing that moves the least amount would probably be the driver bouncing around on the seat. KP3JQQ. It's a driver on the seat. Got it. And this one here is actually the tire. And more specifically, it's the bottom of the tire. And as the tires are rotating, there's a point where they touch the ground. And it's where that point when they touch the ground, they've reached zero velocity in relation to the ground. So at that point, they're not moving until they start coming up again on the other side. So coming down, they've got a velocity once it hits the ground. And that moment, that very moment when it touches the ground in relation to the ground is standing still. And this takes time.

And an experiment can find to get an idea how this works. If you had a bicycle, just drop in. If you had a bicycle, put a little chalk bar, maybe on the top of the tire or the wall of the tire at some point, and just anything that's been down the road. And just watch it, and just watch it. Go slow so you can actually see it's moving. And you'll see as the tire is rotating, you watch this little chalk bar come up. But as it gets to the top of the tire and it starts moving on, you'll see it's starting to move ahead of the bike. It's actually moving faster than the bike at that point. You'll see the chalk bar pulling ahead of the tire as it's rotating forward, faster than the top of the fender of the bike. So experiment. Try it. See for yourself. Try it on another fancy bike.

And it was found in Germany and dates back to the Jurassic period. It was given a name, please give him that name, Longycala, which actually translates into long necked near swimmer. And it dominated the marine environment from 183, 174 million years ago during the early Jurassic period, which makes me so distinct about the Jurassic movie that we wrote there. The animal's fossilized remains are about 10 feet, 3 meters long and the neck makes up about half the length of the body. And what's remarkable is the fact that the skeleton is nearly complete and contains fossilized tissue and bone structure. Not just the bones fossilized, but actual structure within the bones. They can actually see them. And the issue was what allowed scientists to determine that the animal was a newly discovered species. And the animal was discovered in Germany back in 1978 from a quarry, which is part of a Patagonia shell formation. And that actually is well known for its preserved fossil. And the fossil may have been in collection for decades, but it was never really studied until now in the United States because they were taking note of a kind of rather unique anatomy in the natural history museum of Billfield in Germany. And the specimen is the only known pressurizer from the town of Wolfmeiten, south-west Germany. And it's not adult when it's that wide. So 10 feet, 3 meters long, I mentioned. If it had reached adulthood, it could have been considered longer than that. And the other finding, which is another piece of the puzzle regarding evolutionary environment during the important time in our early history. In the animal, it lived during a period when significant environmental changes like major oceanic and arctic events, depletion of oxygen in the ocean, that impacted marine life worldwide. And this event resulted in ocean oxygen depletion, a big spike in seawater acidification. And as a result, a severe loss of marine life happened globally. That event caused an extinction of about 5% of life on land and in the sea. And the fossil is presently, this is the dark state museum, national history of Germany. And my take on the research report that I was reading was that because that animal happened to survive this period of time, it was not a clue as to why some animals avoid extinction and others don't due to environmental factors."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T18:59:18+00:00","id":15601,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15600,"text":" We came here from Science and TechNet for this Saturday evening.

There was just found evidence that at least 11 people, including adults, adolescents, and children, remained in the victims of warfare of capitalism during an event at the El Mirador cave in northern Spain. In both, found had cut marks, human bite marks, fractures for marrow extraction, and signs that had been boiled, according to the research of finding. This was published Thursday, this was past Thursday, August 7th, in a general scientific report. In the event, it happened over a short period, during the final phase of the neolithic, or the Stone Age, occupation of the cave, when farming, agriculture was more prevalent in the region. And researchers only speculate that intergroup violence caused the apparent cannibalization. They couldn't find any signs of ritual or famine or that might otherwise explain the event. This isn't either a funerary tradition or a response to a screen samurai. This is a study co-author, sent in a statement, in fact his direct quote was the evidence point to a violent episode, given how quickly all could place possible the result of conflict between neighbouring farming communities. Maybe there was no food around, no animals or anything, they figured what the heck, they'd eat whatever they could find. K.B.3.J.Q.Q. And, uh, yeah, back then, Scott, that was another reason for that too, is when food sources get low, even other animals, there's orca-cabolism too, when food resources are getting scarcer or non-existent. And so this isn't the first time, this isn't the first time researchers found the evidence of cannibalization in that particular cave in the 2000s. Archaeologists uncovered the remains of six individuals, similar marks to those in this new study. Those remains were younger, they were from the early Bronze Age, about 4600 to 4100 years ago, and related to the hunt is a newly identified older bone discovered in subsequent excavations, and that's according to the study, is nothing. And the researchers, they, uh, uh, revealed carbon data to bones, uh, in this case, uh, and they found them to come in around 5,709 to 5,573 years.

When they were talking about maintaining six foot distance back then they were thinking more in terms of standing in line waiting for things. And now there's a study, a team of researchers, led by two undergraduate physics majors at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. They modeled how aerosol pumps spread when people are waiting and walking in line. And aerosols published recently in Science and Science is part of the question, what's the science behind six feet of separation?

And since we're on our horizon, there's a slight updraft surrounding our bodies, so the team expects to see aerosols from these rising, but instead, they observed a downwash effect where there's a simple act of walking and waiting in line, causing storms to sink. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, All Star Node 6222. Located in Cheyenne, North. It's surprising, in fact, if the ambient temperature didn't happen to be close to our body temperature, as you might see or experience an unwanted air condition on, currently in the summer, those particular aerosols would be pushed forward for four new air currents. However, if you had a road that was, let's say, quite controlled, the difference in temperature between what we exhale and the ambient conditions, they're enough to drive those tunes upward, so if the temperature is at an intermediate range, it's possible the aerosols can hover at just the right height for the next person to inhale as they're moving forward.

So, his predecessor, the Hubble Space Telescope, was primarily designed to find visible spectrum light and ultraviolet light, a wavelength that's often produced by, let's say, youngish stars."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T19:40:34+00:00","id":15642,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15641,"text":" Many objects don't produce or affect the light, or at least not enough to see the naked eye or even detect from far away with even a telescope. And by and large, it's so long that it's easier to detect from extreme distances. And the longer wavelengths even have the benefit of going through dust and clouds and other debris in space. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November- The first time we're looking to look further and further into the universe. So even the new telescope, the Fierce T. Reuben telescope that was recently activated, can't see as far into space because it has to contend with obstructions like that. So when the universe started, it was condensed into a hot mix of particles, protons and electrons. And as the universe expanded and cooled, the first stars in the galaxy began a little bit more than that in the beginning. First you had to have the universe cool enough so that those fundamental particles could then adhere to one another. It was way too hot for them to do that, so they could form neutral atoms. So at one point, as things cooled down, the first stars in the galaxy began to form. And the areas that can be seen are around 13.7 million years old, which is a little over 100 million years after the Big Bang. Which when you think of a telescope, is sort of like a wayback machine. You're looking at a time machine looking back into the universe. And the James Webb Space Telescope, people will see 90% of the way back to the Big Bang. And they see the expectations of most of the scientists involved in the planning of that telescope. So the James Webb Space Telescope, how does it be able to see that far out? That's due to the fact that space is expanding and stretching up the waves from visible light into infrared, Kp3JQQ."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T19:41:18+00:00","id":15643,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15642,"text":" That's not a problem. You, Scott, have the universe that we're looking at there with telescopes, and as you're looking out there with telescopes, the universe is actually expanding and getting pulled further and further away. By you, you do have some objects that are being attracted into one another that goes into blue shifts, but as things are being pulled further and further away, the light gets stretched more and more and more and longer away from the ground. So that makes it harder to see, and at some point in time, the universe will expand to the point where it's so far out and it's expanding so fast that light can't travel back from that period for scientists to be able to look through their telescopes. So in other words, at some point in time, things in the universe will start leaking out, the practice of hearing simply because the expansion of the universe is going so fast and it's happening at such great distances that light can't travel back to provide information of what's going on with those further distances."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T19:44:52+00:00","id":15644,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15643,"text":" It comes from this big, huge primary mirror, and that mirror measures 21.3 feet, 6.5 meters in diameter, and it gives it a total collecting area of more than 276 square feet, 25 square meters. In comparison, Hubble's primary mirror is 8 feet, 2.4 meters in diameter, and it has a collecting area of about 60 square feet, 4.5 square meters. And both telescopes can see billions of light years away because they're in space, and beyond that, they have the atmosphere on Earth. If you go outside at night and take a look up in the night sky, very often you'll, if you look up, you'll see that the stars look like they're twinkling scintillations. And that's because the Earth's atmosphere, comprised of hot and cold air and the Earth's are made way, they cause these distortions, these convection curves from all these distortions. And so that's another thing that makes it very difficult for Earth-based telescopes to look through the entire picture. It's like taking a coin and dropping it in a glass of water, giving it a glass of water shape, and then looking down. A coin is almost impossible to get any real definition on at that point. So the James Webb-based telescope is also equipped with infrared light detectors. And they're situated absorb light redirected from its large mirror. They can help identify distant light that Hubble can't see. So Earth's atmosphere causes some of the unique problems for terrestrial telescopes, and that, like from light pollution to atmospheric turbulence, etc., etc. So in space, you don't have that to worry about. You don't have atmosphere there, and you do have dust and debris in space, but not like we do here in the atmosphere. But there's still enough of that that can bother you with some optical systems if you're in space. So the James Webb-based telescope has an advantage point. It's nearly one million miles, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth, and a range point. And range points are just basically places that have the right gravitational balance for satellites to stay stable in orbit. So you get something from the Earth, beyond the Earth, and the Sun, and the tung from the Earth and the Sun, and from a planet farther out is just about to keep these spacecraft in a stable orbit."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T19:45:38+00:00","id":15645,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15644,"text":" and you're actually looking back in time. Some of the stars you're looking at in the night sky now might not even exist anymore. You're just getting the light from them that may have been set this way maybe millions or billions of years ago. So for all you know, those stars, some of those stars may not be in existence. The fact that maybe other stars have taken their place, but the light from those stars hasn't had enough time to reach us yet. So light travels what? 299,000 to 292,458 metres per second, a hundred and eighty-eight miles per second. So which means that light that reaches us from some of these different obstacles and spaces older than when it was invented can take light from the sun, roughly 43, 44 minutes, probably Jupiter, about eight minutes or so to reach Earth. And it's just that it almost reaches a space much further away and complicates constellations for working out how long it takes to get here.

So from their models and their measurements, they're now taking, their predictions are now falling in line with what you're actually seeing. The yearly losses of ice from these glaciers between 2021 and 2024, as well as the total loss of ice measured during this period are record breaking. And the causes include low winter snow accumulation, early season heat waves. And prolonged warm dry conditions, this was published June 25th in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, in between 2000 and 2023 glaciers around the world, altogether, they lost 301 billion tons, 273 million tons of ice per year, and that was contributing to around a fifth of observed sea level rise, this is according to the study as well. And the research has found that 2021 right to 2024, that was the worst period for ice loss in glacier monitoring in the 1960s, and glacier ice loss was extreme over the four year period, with one-tenth of all glacier ice in Switzerland melting away in just two years between 2022 and 2023. And the glacier ice not only increases sea level rise but also threatens freshwater availability, it, the increase in elevation risk of geohazards, and also alters the melting landscapes, and that was something else in cloud as 92 as a sign. And the heat waves and wildfires just dropped in. And they're all contributing as well, and to research some of this glacier melt, the team used data from the World Glacier Monitoring Service and Airborne Survey as well as the Climate Records and Satellite Observation, they had this information as a computer model to evaluate mass changes for two US glaciers, three Canadian glaciers and five twist glaciers.

The heat is no longer reflected back into space which in turn leads to more wildfire and more deposition so you can see it's just a cycle, one cycle after another.

KA98V and good evening. KA98V and good evening. Well I think the humiliation of this silly medical call in show wasn't enough four weeks ago. They rebroadcast the same show again with my horrible call on it. And so I got to listen to my dear Scott's emulation of my horrible call yet again. And I'm sitting here thinking my gosh how many more people have this one impression of me. It's like okay humiliation my humiliation is complete. Other than that I read through the book I wrote many years ago and published so that I can promote it at Worldcon. Read through it all again and played the harp a little bit. And that's about all I did for today. And so kind of a dull morning day. Anyway this is a 733388 to everybody. Thanks Jack and Dean for running the net. And thanks to everybody else for listening. I love you all. This is KA98V back to bed. Alright Anne hey real quick when does Worldcon start and is that here in Seattle? I can't remember if it's here or if it's at another venue just outside the city. Back to you Anne. Worldcon starts on Wednesday of this next week and it actually is at the convention center and the summit building. And you know all the places down in that main sort of convention area in downtown Seattle. KA98V. Alright well I hope you guys get to check in from there. If you can remember you have all star or echo on your phone. Well we'll hear about it soon enough and I cannot wait. Thank you so much Anne. Have a good night and say hi to the crowd. Want you please? KJ7JX I look forward to talking to Robert right now. Robert we have a big day ahead. Big day today I know. How are you sir? Go ahead. Well here is KJ7JX Ray Mike. Hello Robert. And Jack tomorrow can't come long enough away. Did that come out right? I am so tired and I need an extra day but I am kind of ready for tomorrow. We didn't unload Cammy's rig from all the stuff at the Field of Wheels event so most of it is still in there. That's good. But we still got a few things to load up. Luckily we didn't use her go box radio so the battery will be fully charged because I was thinking about that. But I haven't charged up the EcoFlow so I'm sure it's going to have plenty of power still. The tablet has been running on battery power the last few days and we've been using it. I'm going to make sure I'm bringing the camera to that. And my name came on the charger so people will know who I am because that's always been a huge problem. You know what I mean? But I'm excited for it nonetheless. It's going to be a fantastic day. I am so utterly exhausted from working the last two days on the business stuff. I'm out fitting those two vans with inverters. That went really well. Nice and smooth as I had expected it to. It's less materials than I thought in some situations and not enough materials than I thought in other situations. I still got to work on getting some ducts in a row at times to make sure I can do these things smoothly without having to run down to the Ace Hardware, aka Arlington Hardware, and buy some parts. Although on a good note, I did get my tax exempt account set up with them so I can buy parts to resell from them. So that's very nice. Other than that, not a whole lot else to report, Jack. Just a great day out running around, getting things done, vehicles delivered, and having an amazing dinner with my beautiful, amazing other half. So I look forward to seeing you, Jack, and looking forward to some ice cream and wishing Brooks and Megan a very happy congratulations on their amazing joint adventure. Yeah, we'll call it that. Thanks, Jack. So excited for you to host, my friend. And I'll be sleeping, but maybe Kami will reach out to you around. The days have been changed. Back to you two. Alright, Robert. Another successful day. Now you just have to wrap it up with a successful adventure in sleep. So you get to sleep soon. We'll see you tomorrow at Green Lake. Looking forward to it. Alright, well, speaking of Kami, let's do that now. KJ7REP. Hi, Kami. Well, good evening, and everyone out there on the net, I'm here, KJ7REP. Yes, I don't know. I'm sorry to get into that good day, but that's not in the cards, so you're up with what you got. So, Jack, Robert finally took me to the balloon. We went there this evening after dinner, and we saw where the park area is where you can activate as a photo park, but we didn't have a chance to actually venture into the park area. But we've scouted things out, we've made our plans, and so hopefully one of these days soon we can host the net from that location. So, more to come. I took the balloon to the boat while we were out there, and it's a pretty cool area. You know, I've seen it from the freeway for a long time. I've been driven by it, but I've just never been out on those little back roads. Robert took us on a ride out there this evening, and it was nice. I'm looking forward to it. Looking forward to tomorrow as well. So, we'll be here soon and beyond thrilled that Dina's co-hosting with you this evening. I'm so excited to hear you at the hotel side. You'll be amazing. And, yeah, so I'll be listening. Robert will probably fall asleep first. I'll be listening to the human fall asleep as fast as he does. I'm so envious. It's so hard for me to fall asleep, and he can fall asleep mid-sentence. So, there you go. Thanks for hosting. Thanks for getting us in, and, Dina, I'm so happy that you'll be hosting, and I'll be listening. All the numbers tables KJ7 are eight feet back to net control. All right, KJ7, you have a good night. I hope you get enough sleep, and we'll see you tomorrow at Green Lake. We're really looking forward to it. And, Dean, no pressure. No pressure. You'll do just great. Well, of course, Dean has got lots of experience with the radio. He's been all over the place. If he does stuff, I don't even get in. So, anyway, we'll talk to him in just a few minutes. Let's get back to the radio now. Around one o'clock here on the PSR, I'm Jack, I'm you. Go talk to Matt. I think he's in our upland. KJ7, do you like him?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T21:20:25+00:00","id":15680,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15679,"text":" I'm right on the leaning net here. Thank you for doing that. My picture's a CLC in beautiful Nittles, Marina. About 100 yards from the water. I've been working pretty much all day long on my antenna. I got the mast up and I painted it to make it look nice. And I put my antenna, a GP9 on there. I haven't tested it yet. Everything runs, the wires run. I've got to shove down the guide wires. Even though it's a stick antenna, I always use guide wires. I never was antenna yet. So I always use stainless steel guide wires. I'm doing that. And I'm hoping that when I'm all done, I'll be able to talk to you guys on the ref. I haven't used my TEN wood TS2000 for quite a while. I'm moving forward to it. I'll probably have it all done tomorrow. This is TTS-6CLC, Mike in beautiful Nittles, Marina. Thank you for doing that. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right, Mike. It's been a while, my friend. In fact, I wrote down your call sign correctly. There we go. So I have to correct it now. Maybe. All right. Well, you have a good night. And we'll talk to you soon. Guess what? It's now time for round two, which means I'm going to identify at 9.16 PM on Jack KI7RU. Handing it over to my special host tonight, Dean, KI7ODB. Dean, go ahead for round two. Thank you, Jack. Well, first, I thought the heat was on. But then Mike checked in from Needles, where it's currently 113 degrees. So anyway, this is round two. I'd like to take about a half dozen operators. Call sign and name, please. Madeline KJ7W. This is repeater station. I got Madeline. Next. All star notes to KU. KI7I. Washington. KI9EDC. Brooks and K9MLR. Megan. The trifecta. We've got Rebecca, Brooks, and Megan. Next, please. KI7QES. Justin. Next, please. KI7QES. Justin. We've got Rebecca, Brooks, and Megan. We've got KI7QES.

Alright Matt I think I only had you at about 35 max on any of the three that you were coming in at so hopefully you can come back a little bit later maybe in Dean's round or something if you got a better signal maybe a little bit more power applied that might help too. So let's see if you can't do that or maybe get over to All Star or ExoLink. So I'd like to hear your report though. Okay and hope to see you tomorrow, I know we will. Let's go talk to James, he's near Detroit, W-A. W-W. Hi James. Jack Dean everyone, good evening from Detroit. Just got off another 16 hour day and I tell you the phone will have justified it. I wish I could go into detail but I can't. So not much going on here. I'm going to start taking pictures of these 706 Mark II's that I need to find a new owner for. And the fiberplex key I forgot to put a page with my call. So I have kicked my head out so I'll have to do that before I go to bed tonight. But nothing else going on here. That's 28WW00. Alright James, hey. You're enjoying your day tomorrow, thank you very much for coming in tonight to hear you. Let's go down to Mike Needles California. Mike, how are you?

And I'm honored to have Madeline, KJ7 and UW as my first check in tonight. Over to you, Madeline. Well hi, I mean, I can't believe it. I feel like I scored like the front row seats of like, I don't know, like a Pearl Jam concert, the first Pearl Jam concert in Seattle or something like that. It is such a huge honor to be number one on Your Rounding and I seriously was here. I was seriously here with my power to the maximum and my hand up with my finger on the PPE. I'm ready to go the second that you open it up. Anyway, well I'm very excited. I'm a huge fan, Dean. I'm a huge fan of yours and I'm so glad that you're hosting. Jack, I wanna acknowledge you as well. A huge success, a huge night to get Dean to host Annette. So I'm just so excited about that. I can hardly finish the rest of my check in. Okay, let me comment about my day so that I, you know, seem normal, like a normal check in. A highlight from the day to day was I went up on my neighbor's roof and I had convinced my neighbor to put a mesh-tastic node on his roof because he's got more elevation than me and a better view. Actually, when I was able to talk to Brooks on over mesh-tastic, it's because it went through my neighbor's node. Anyway, he gave me access to the roof and I upgraded the node firmware and that sort of stuff. So it's really cool and now I can remote administer it through the mesh, which is kind of a cool feature of mesh-tastic. Anyway, okay, so now that I have given a normal update, I'm saying I'm a huge fan of Dean. I'm so excited to be your number one fan and your round two here. Okay, I seriously am excited. I'm looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow. I'll send it back to KJ7 and UW. All right, Madeline, thanks again. And yeah, you mentioned Pearl Jam. It reminded me of many years ago, I went to see a free Pearl Jam concert at Magnuson Park in Seattle in 1992. And there was actually a Rain or Shine net there a while back. So anyway, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. And I also really look forward to seeing the next two people who are going to be checking in who are actually the guests of honor tomorrow. And we're gonna start with K9 BEC, over to you. Yeah. Well, good, you've been here, Dean and everyone on edge. I'm MDBG, once here at Newcastle Dean. So happy to hear, you know, the thing, this is exciting. We were just talking about this. Oh, here you are. You're gonna hit the phone. I just know it. But yes, I heard that you were on here, so of course we had to check in your round. No offense to Jack, we'll check in with Jack's round. Yeah, I'm really worried. Check in with Dean's round. Anyway, let's see, we had a busy day today. The pop ceiling is then removed from my office. And the ceiling is primered. And the gentleman we have doing the work is coming back in the morning. There's me in the rest of the room. So that's exciting. Looking forward to the Rain or Shine tomorrow. The lot of fun to go see all of our ham friends. You included. And then, we do the rest of the day. Oh yeah, I got a haircut. And then Megan helped me as a brother move. And I got some help as reinforcements. And so I went down there and helped get the rest of the truck unpacked, the rest of the merger up the elevator. So, yeah, there's a new apartment down there. It's off the Union area. Very cool, very cool spot that we got. So, excited about that. Excited for it. All right, so with that, I'm gonna say, great job there, Host and Dean. And I look forward to hearing much more of this. 7th everyone, good night, Dean."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T22:14:28+00:00","id":15683,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15682,"text":" Brooks, thanks. Appreciate the encouragement. I know this is tough because I'm realizing that one of the things you have to deal with when you're doing a net is all the texts that it jacks into you. So, anyway, I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. And next is definitely Brooks' better half, Megan K9MLR. Over to you. Good evening to you, Dean, and hello to Jack and everyone else out there on the net. K9MLR, Megan here at home in Newcastle. Excited to hear you out there tonight, but definitely more excited to see everyone tomorrow for the ice cream social. As Brooks mentioned, it was a very busy day. We have been very busy, but lots of things getting done, and I'm a little bit envious. My brother moved into a very beautiful view of the apartment. He is in South Lake Union, so the apartment faces back towards the Space Hill and towards the water there. So, yeah, a little bit close to that, but I'm not sure of the city life. I definitely like living in the suburbs, but that's just my personal thing. Anyway, thank you for being that excited for tomorrow. I've got all the tickets right by the door so I don't forget them. See you all tomorrow at 73. K9MLR. Thanks, Megan. Yeah, I look forward to seeing these tickets. I have a feeling they're not your typical, I mean there's been a lot of fanfare going on about them, so I'll be looking forward to that. So thanks for checking in and gracing our net tonight. Next, we have another person. Well, everybody on here is a person, but let's just give it up for Rebecca KK7IJZ. Well, Dean, the joke's on you, I'm not a person. Boom! I have a figment of everyone's imagination. Just joking. Dean! You're doing it. You're doing it. You're doing it. I'm so excited. You can't see me do my happy dance, but it's happening. But anyway, I had a great day. It was a wonderful, wonderful day. I spent most of the day in my PJs. I get to see some of your little faces. I got to hear Madeline be your first check-in. What a day. August 9th goes down in the books as the day the Dean goes to the net. 88 and 73 and all the numbers Dean and KK7IJZ. And 33 and 64 and 70. Say again, all of the ladies. Thanks, Rebecca. I appreciate you checking in. Well, I just appreciate you in general. So, yeah, it's always good to say hi to, say hi to Andy for me as well. Next we got Justin, KK7QES. How are you, Justin? Well, hello, Dean. 73. I have never heard you and Jack calling at 9 p.m. now. Either of you. But it is so good to hear both of you. I was out late and was expecting to hear Rich and Bill. I think they are both well. But I'm so excited to hear you taking over my control. Anyway, super cool. You're doing a great job. I haven't really heard much of any help, but you're all doing great. Anyway, I've had a great day. Lots of time outside in the garden. Just, I don't know. It helps me just feel completely relaxed. And I got my cucumber trellis back under control. My jalapenos are so close to being ready for harvest. I'm really excited about that. I'm trying to convince my girls to eat a jalapeno with me. They are not enthusiastic so far, but we'll see. And then some other boring yard chores. And then this afternoon I installed a pulley system in my girls' bedroom. So about a year ago I built them some loft beds. And they wanted a pulley system with a bucket to be able to move things up and down. So we finally got that done. And they've been playing with that all evening. It's been really fun. And quite hilarious listening to them. And then lastly, I'm just watching the Marius game. And it's really cool. Tonight was the ceremony for retiring hero number 51 prior to the game. It was a really cool ceremony. And it seems like the entire, all the guys you would expect from the 95 team to be there. And the 2001 guys and all that. Anyway, a really fun game to be watching. Dean, I hope you're doing great. Thank you for running the night tonight. And Jack as well. I'll send it back. KK7 QES. AF4LL. AF4LL. AF4LL. Good afternoon from your in-depth interview with NYS. We've no further traffic coming in and out for the future. So much for coming in and I hope things go well for you over in the Philippines. And next we've got, we have Jeff, B6MB. Down in Bolivia, before I ended up, Jeff lives not too far from where I grew up. He lives over in Union City, which is about, oh, I don't know, he's on the other side of the, I grew up in Palo Alto. So he's about 10 or 15 miles from where I grow up. So I know his area. And then we're going to head over to you, Jeff. Okay, Dean, I'm going to preach to you host of the net. I said, you know, I can't miss this. I got to go support Dean there. I'm feeling great there. I wouldn't expect to go west. Yeah, here at San Francisco Bay Area, it was about, we got up in the mid-80s. It's a warm day and it's 78 degrees out there right now. But, you know, not a sunny day then. Yeah, just watching the Dodgers win the game and hopefully the Mariners are doing the same. I root for the Dodgers, so always good. The hometown team. Okay, great job to you, Dean. Keep up the good work, AB6MB. All right, Jeff, thanks a lot. I appreciate your check-in. And yes, the next and the last person on this list is AF4LL Bill from Arlington, Virginia. And before I hand it over to you, I always enjoy when you check in because I've heard you mention that your apartment or your home overlooks the Iwo Jima memorial. And my father used to live, like, there's no way you don't live like one or two buildings or maybe even in the same building. It was a 1200 North Nash Street in a building called Prospect House. So I know that area in the back of my hand. So, yeah, over to you, AF4LL. Well, good morning from Iwo Fort Historic, Arlington, Virginia. Yeah, that's about right. I'm very close to Iwo Jima, Fort Meyer, Arlington Cemetery. I'm seven floors up. I have a wonderful view of the area. I have a two meter station here and a ten meter station. I've worked a hundred and three hundred to a cycle with a hand stick and a strike to nine five five and a President Lincoln two plus. So intent on doing real well. I enjoy getting on that going here also, sir. And I've been on this net soup numerous times, as you have pointed out. And let me get your call to the log, please. I've been here many years ago. Hi. Hi. I love pretty much everything. So I'm glad to be here this morning. It's beautiful. It's going to be about 60 degrees by morning. And like I said, the view is tremendous. Coming and going right to Reagan National all the time to see the Pentagon, to see the Jefferson Memorial, to see the Kennedy Center. So I got a pretty good view here. And yeah, you seem like you know the area. Back to you, sir. Again, if I can get your name and your call for the log. This is AF4LL. This is repeater station Kilo, Kilo, and of course my whole son Kilo Gulls, Sadwin, Oscar, and my name is Dean. So yeah, again, always enjoy having you check in. And we'll hear you soon. So just before the rubber meets the road, I'm going to hand the mic over to Jack. KI7RMU over to you. G70D. Alright, the great round nicely played my friends. Fantastic. We'll see. That's what greatness can do right there. Alright, this is Jack KI7RMU. I'm going to read the announcement. That is one announcement. And that is for tomorrow, Sunday, August 10th, PSRG, Season 7, Episode 5, The Rain or Shine Net, and Ice Cream Social at Green Lake. We're in the lake and on our website to find out all the details. PSRG.org. It's a new net host by Kamri and Robert. You heard them here earlier. And we're celebrating summer and the recent marriage of Brooks and Megan. Megan has purchased some special tickets to get your ice cream treat at the Green Lake Cafe and stand right nearby. And boy do they have a lot to choose from. That place is well stocked. Alright, that is the announcement. We have lots more, but I just want to get to that one right there. Alright, this is Jack KI7RMU. This is the 9 o'clock net, 936P. Let's get some more check-ins. Come in. Call, sign, and name. 7, this is Fox 5 Bravo, Bill, A7WXC. Alright, I got Bill. Who is here? Station 7 was Bill. Come ahead. J, J7, RJL, Fermison. RJL, what else do we have?

Well, I didn't say anything, but I did press the button. I can, I can simulcast. And yes, I heard everybody else that didn't say anything. But, yes, I am here, Jack. KI7, BZ. Well, I heard a K, and I knew it was you. That's how I knew that. That's interesting. Alright, well, we didn't say anything, but I don't know if I'm just, I'm hallucinating like Chad, HPT4. Chad, HPT5 apparently did lots of lists. Alright, Jim, I'm gonna put you on the list. Who else? Sam, 7, I'm going with our guest. Chris is calling 9-0. Hey, Steve, you're at the Los Angeles Home Station with the I.O. Come back, please leave your call, sign and name. Kilo, I'm an officer, Julia, Kilo, KSM and OJK, Chris is calling, I.O., good evening. Hey, Chris, nice to hear you. Thank you so much for your call, I.O. tonight. You have a good night and enjoy the rest of the weekend, KSM and OJK. Let's take one more station, please, for round three. K-3 is the low east. Alright, we got Rich in there. Yeah, so, Rich, you've been fishing. We'll explain that when we get to you. Alright, let's go back to Bill, K7WFB. Bill, did you co-host you tonight? What were you? I did co-host you, indeed. That is so good of you both for Rich and me since we're both out of town. Thank you so much, lovely to hear from all my Saturday night friends. I'm up here in Qualicum Beach, British Columbia on Vancouver Island with my wife for staying a week or so and just have a nice place on the shores of the Gulf of Brazil looking kind of northeast back into the interior. Very pretty. And talking about pretty, if you've got a window you can pump your head out, go look at the moon coming up, it's especially pretty tonight. My wife is just coming in the door telling me it's unbelievable. We had a great day today. There was a little airport up here we hadn't been to before. We found there was a restaurant there so we wanted to check it out and there were these four guys standing there and they were going skydiving the business where you're kind of two pros and you latch onto the, you know, they strap you to their belly, I guess it is. Their plane came up and they told us to go home so he zoomed off about a 15 minute drive to this field and watched them jump on the plane for the first time, the two guys for the first time from 10,000 feet. It was a great time. There were actually three of them all together, three college students, one from Japan, one from Germany, one from the United States, one from the United States. That's the whole axis, isn't it? I didn't realize that. Anyway, very nice kids and took some photos and videos. We're going to send them. Anyway, we had a lot of fun. Good fun day. Back to you Jack, and to you and Dean. Lovely talking to you. Good to see you. You organized your bill, thank you so much. Come ahead KJ7RJL. Just a quick question there Jack, how's my perception coming in because you guys are a little tired on my interest. I'm going to go to the airport tomorrow because of my transportation. Accessing isn't going to get me to vote on time or the posters coming back to place again. I'm going to take a seat and grab a t-shirt set for the transportation. I guess you can get three ice creams tomorrow because I was going to bring Chat with me. I was going to sell some of those tickets over there. Like I said, I probably only have 10 left. Where the amateur radio club and I do the polo shot in. I didn't want to be over there. Let me drop a sec. Yeah, well, seeing you there doing that and receiving back to when I was over there working and then seeing him talk with a few other people. I'm going to put vinyl records and everything and the colors and whatever, how big they were and how small they were and all the collections that he's got. Wow. Yes, I want to be very nice though. We have the spot at Green Lake where it is shady. Check that today. After dinner, we wrote on the cycle, I put lights on the cycle. I talked about that so we can be out now as sunset is getting sooner and sooner and sooner. We can be out after dark now because we now have bad lights. And then all the time, evening all night was the beautiful, beautiful moonrise tonight. This is the time of the year that the moon rises over the hills on the other side of the lake. It was absolutely spectacular tonight. And then we get to top it off with a nine o'clock. What a fantastic day. So anyway, back everybody from there on the East side. And hope you guys have a fantastic time tomorrow at the Rain or Shine. It's going to be all shine and a lot of ice cream. So anyway, back to Jack's Delties everybody. This is Jim and Tina, Tina Lake, K7. Good to see you, Zach. Alright, well Jim, thank you so much for checking in. Of course, enjoy your great Sunday out there, dear Lake. Hope you get a lot of skiing and it'll be a lot of fun. Alright, let's go talk to my neighbor now. N70WG Steve, we're going to hear you on a Saturday night. Go ahead. I'll often check in to the nine o'clock but a big thing's been happening here at 32nd Northeast. First off, I want to ask a question. Is anybody else experiencing the kind of a clipping of audio? It kind of reminds me of an imitation of it. So when you're talking and it sounds like this... It's breaking up the audio. I wonder if it's just smooth, the skin would hear or is it coming across to everyone. That's number one. Any comment on that, Jack? We're not imagining that it is real. We did not get a chance to restart the machine before the internet. I apologize but I would like to do that if we can. Maybe do a quick restart but I don't want to compromise the net at this point. So we're going to continue on but it doesn't sound that bad. It's not like Lloyd Bridges in Steak Hunt. But anyway, it is a little broken up but we're just going to continue. Go ahead, Steve. That's 7GWG, KI7RMU. KI7RMU and 7GWG. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I thought it might be one of the settings on the squelch, you know, clipping off to the signals at my end. The main thing here was that 48 hours ago we had a backup, a sewer backup in the house and we got some folks to come out and they said, We'll cut it for 99 bucks. I said, that's a deal, that's a deal. But of course, then they cambered the sewer line and said, if you want to get rid of this reoccurring problem with ruts and stuff, we can line the 35 foot of your sewer line and you'll never, never have to do anything again. And Donna and I looked at Donna and Donna looked at me and we went, Oh, jeez, that's another trip we can't afford now. But we bought it and these guys were on site within two hours, cutting the hole down to our sewer line and today they came back and they finished this super duper kind of a lining of the, they put this, this, this kind of phrase. A big condom in the line and it's with epoxy and they stuff another line that, that, that, they said, they ballooned and it forces the epoxy to the surface of the old line. And then thirdly, they stuffed this electrical lighting, the blue light, the blue light down there and it cures the epoxy and then they pull this all out and you're done for another 100 years. I'm not telling you how much it cost, but it was really interesting to see it done. And so that's, that's the last 48 hours of our house and 7 GWG. Alright Steve, yeah, that's a great process they have and so that way they don't have to bring in the ditch witch and dig up your yard and do all that and then, you know, charge you all that money. So it is somewhat easy, that's for sure. Well, you know, maybe you can go to Fife or something instead of Europe, I don't know, maybe some place like that, not too far away. Anyway, good to hear you and say hi to Don and say hi to the dozer and thank you so much Steve, good to hear you my friend. And of course Steve lives not too far from me, you're in Northern Seattle. Alright we're going to go and I'm going to acknowledge Chris with his check-in, KF70JK and TIO. We're going to go talk to the fisherman and he's going to have to explain that now, he just posted something a bit on the Facebook group. Rich, K30E, West Seattle, how are you? Well good evening Jack and everyone. Well, I haven't had any adventure like Steve had, that's for sure, thank goodness. But yeah, I'm fishing for singles this evening. I got the old fishing net out and, you know, I just a few screws and a couple of clamps so I can attach the cable and by golly, the SWR is good and it's working great. So I get right about that, that's for sure. Anyway, first up, well, got a little quilt project done, let's see, tomorrow I'm going to bring some stuff that you might want to take along to at least a few things along to donate so I'll have those and yeah, so anyway looking forward to ice cream. Back to you K2E. Alrighty now, alright, well do you think you might have to share some with Pueblo too or possibly risk losing a kneecap? Entirely possible Jack, oh my goodness, I don't know if the place there has pumped guts but we'll find out. In any case, he will be along and I've heard, the rumor has it there's going to be a lot of huffs tomorrow. Back to you K3O8. Yeah, that's for sure, and Green Lake was packed today and they do have a water bowl outside for dollars at the Green Lake Cafe which is really nice of them, they're a great group. Alright, well thank you Mitch, have a good evening, you get some sleep too and stay out of Pueblo for us and we'll talk to you soon. Let's get it over now to Dean, KG70DB with round 14. Take it away please. Thank you Jack, I gotta tell ya, I think the full moon is bringing them out tonight. So anyway this is Dean, KG70DB and we're going to go to round 4. Call sign and name. KG772I miss. We've got Matt with a recheck. Four stations please. November 3rd, I'm in my box please. November 3rd, I'm in my box please. I'm in my box please. I'm in my box please. I'm in my box please. Hello Dean, hello Jack. Hello Jack. Hello Dean. We've got a great evening and a great show. I'm really looking forward to meeting you in the fall report with you this morning. Hello, team. This is Charlie. DC2, SPO. Checking in. We've got Charlie."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T22:16:09+00:00","id":15684,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15683,"text":" Okay, we'll hold it right there and we will go back to the top and talk to KK7FKB Tree. How are you tonight? Well, good evening Dean and everybody on the Net. Happy Saturday. Uh, yeah, I'm doing well. Doing well. Um, what was I gonna say? I totally spaced. Yeah, so I'm standing outside, looking at the moon as it's coming up from the east. It's absolutely gorgeous this evening. Um, I'm really not a big fan of summer. Um, I always joke, I'm a huge heavy metal fan so I always joke with my wife. I like the darkness. Um, but I do enjoy the summer evenings. It's a really great time to be outside and looking at the night sky. And, uh, I'm not sure what is supposed to be out this evening, but I might have to go grab my telescope and bring it out and see what I can see. I'm gonna be up for about the next three, four hours probably. So, we'll see what happens. Um, it's funny I was thinking about you today. Um, because I remember, this was probably a year ago now, maybe more than that, where you had said that you had purchased a, uh, a 1.25 meter or 220 radio, like a tri-band radio. Um, not a handheld. And I was curious what kind that was because I'm kind of looking for one in the mar- I might be in the market for one. I wanna kinda put it up on my, uh, my antenna and just see what I can hear. I know there's a 220 net in this area, so I'm gonna break for a second. But yeah, I've been thinking about 220 a lot and, uh, interested in one of those cheaper radios. I think there's those QYT and then there's a TYT and, uh, maybe a few others. I was just curious what kind you had. So, um, other than that, uh, I'm just gonna hang out and enjoy listening to the rest of the net. It's been pretty fun so far. So, take care everybody. Sending out positive energy to everybody. Uh, wishing everybody well. KK7 flying KYT backwards. KK7 FKB. Back to net."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T22:19:43+00:00","id":15685,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15684,"text":" Well, we'll keep it at this nice small round and I may do a check-in at the end. So we're going to go over to Matt, KJ7WQI for a recheck. Well, hey there, Dean. I wanted to pop in here quickly and consider how can you give me a signal report real quick. K-67, go ahead and try. Oh, there's a little noise, but you're perfectly readable, much better than you were before. Over to you. Perfect. Before I was in the parking lot of the North Cape Park in Ryerson, I had to pick up Anna. We had our ties moved and now we're back at the house. These are ties moved by my mountain for a full day on fire and I have a flooding which is a really good tie for your son. I have a built in the area, but as tight as I am, right there across from the base where you can see it, and I can see it from the front yard over there and the front hill is really good. It's very, very crazy. I got to go for three minutes, but if you use this place, what will I hear up there? I wanted to pop back in and actually hopefully be heard now that I'm back at the CH. I will throw it back to you, lovely area, and we'll get up and run around that fair and recheck. Hopefully we'll be able to get back to KJ7WQI. Alright, thanks a lot Matt. Well, the good news and the bad news. The good news is, I'm really glad you checked in. The bad news is you mentioned Thai food and I am now hungry. So, anyway, hopefully see you tomorrow at the Ice Cream Social. So next we have from Florida, Elaine, M3OMO. How are you tonight? Hello Dean, this is M3OMO, aka Oink Blue Oink. I'm doing very well, thank you. It was about 102 today. We had a very strong thunderstorm this afternoon. One of the neighborhoods not too far from us, the electricity went out. Ours blinked on and off, but that was it. Which brings me to my next subject. I had decided, my brother and I, my brother who lives with me, Rob, and I had decided that we would get a Generex generator. Charlie called me and told me he's had one for about five years and it's absolutely wonderful. And then when my brother went to his church's rehearsal for the band for tomorrow morning, he found out that the lead guitarist also has a Generex generator. And I do think that it's important, in Florida in particular, during this hurricane season, that we have something that will keep us cool and keep the lights on and keep the freezer and refrigerator cold. And protect the animals as well as ourselves. So anyway, on Monday I'm going to call and ask about that and ask the propane guy that I get propane from what it would entail to get an extra tank so the Generex can run off of that. I do not have natural gas like some people do, but we can certainly run it off of propane. So that's my next investment and I think it will be a very, very good one. So everyone have a great day tomorrow. Enjoy all the ice cream. I wish I could be there. But it's a little far from Florida to, I believe, Washington. We're a three hour difference here too. It's almost 1 a.m. So 73's everybody. Have a great night, a good day. Have extra ice cream for me. Take care everyone. November 3. Oscar Mike Oscar. Well thanks Elaine. I'm going to maybe bribe Meghan into giving me your ticket so I can have some extra ice cream. Anyway, I appreciate all the talk about generators. It's always great to have extra power. Well especially if you live in a place where you've got hurricanes and other forms of natural disasters. Of course, out here we've got volcanoes and earthquakes and occasional wind storms. But when you look at the price of backup power, it's becoming pretty negligible. Also keeping the refrigerator going. Madeline, KJ7NUW was talking recently about how she would put her refrigerator on her power backup. And how efficient the refrigerator is and how little power it uses. So it's a really good thing to have. Anyway, I appreciate you checking in. I'm also looking forward over the next several weeks hearing some football reports from you. I don't know if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have played yet. But Charlie is coming up and maybe he has some. I know he always talks about his Eagles. So actually over to you Charlie. How are you tonight? Thanks for watching!"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T22:24:00+00:00","id":15686,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15685,"text":" Oh, DEED! Isn't this ironic? It's your... Caesar will break it, I think. For neck control. So, anyway... Uh, you're doing a good job. You know, from what I can hear. Uh... I'm freaking in and out of, uh, nap. You know, from what my medication is telling me to do. So anyway... And, Miss Elaine was just up. She's getting, uh... She's getting, uh... A whole house generator estimate next week. So that's good for her. You know, down in Florida. Sometimes she goes DEEDs into weeks without electric. You know, just like us up here. I was calling her. What I have. You know, but, uh... Maybe that's not a good fit for her. Down there, so... I told her to check with her. Propane dealer. And see what they recommend. You know? So... That's what she's gonna do. But, uh... So, anyway... My day here was beautiful. No clouds in the sky. No humidity. It was very low. And, uh... The broad proper... Was steady. 30... 30... 66... Is steady. So I think that was pretty good. So... Back to your team. Jack. Keep an eye on them. I think he's gonna be at all far. You know? JC2. SDO. Back to that control. Alright, Charlie. Thank you so much. I appreciate your check-in. And, um... Yeah, thanks for giving Elaine all the advice on the power backup and all that. So... Before we go to the next round, I'm gonna just sort of give a comment on the full moon. Yes, I'm looking out my window right now. And the moon is coming up. It reminds me of... Several years ago, back in 2016, I went to a Neil Young concert and it was outside. And I think they perfectly timed it where the moon is right about where it is now. It's just, you know, coming up over the horizon. And Neil did this song called Harvest Moon, which is like one of his really great, kind of nice... It's like the perfect song for a, like, 85 degree summer evening that this was down in Indio, California. So... Anyway, I'm gonna hand it over to Jack. KG7 ODB. Alright, Dean. We'll have to admit that I agree with everybody. And it's easy to admit that you're doing a fantastic job. I knew you would. I've always tried to twist your arm far enough that you'd actually come in and help either do a net or run a net. And I'm just so glad I finally convinced you to do it today. So thank you so much. I will have to step out at this point. So since I am going to do that, I want to say thank you everybody for checking in tonight. Dean's gonna run the rest of the net. He's gonna do a fantastic job. And thank you again, Dean. Oh, and recently, Dean, I just wanted to tell you, I've been listening to Neil Young live at Canterbury House, 1968. That whole show is just, it's just amazing. Oh, man. If some of you have not heard that show, go ahead and listen to it. It's on the internet. Just beautiful. Anyway, alright, Dean. Thank you again. This is Jack. KI7R, we're leaving you all in the cable hands of Dean. KG7ODB. Dean, take it away. Thank you. Alright, Jack. Thank you so much for your help tonight. And I look forward to seeing you tomorrow. And so, anyway, so let's wait a couple seconds. Okay, everyone, Jack is gone. So now we can have some real fun. Just kidding. Well, what we're gonna do now is we're gonna go on to round five. I don't have Jack helping me with this, so I'm gonna be, you might have to give me a little rope here. So, anyway, please come forward. Call sign a name. KI7R, KI7ODB, TREE. I got TREE and someone else was behind him. Kilo Kilo 7, Hoto Charlie Delta. KI7ODB, TREE. KI7ODB, KI7ODB, TREE. We have Chris.

I think I've got the number right on that. I actually keep it in my car. It's only, I think it was like $80, and it's very small. It fits in my glove compartment. Whenever I check in mobile, that's my perpetual mobile radio, but it has 220 on it, as well as 2 meters and 70 centimeters. The only thing I will warn you is, power-wise, I have hooked this up to a power meter, and it's supposed to be 25 watts. But it's actually, for me, I'm getting 20 watts on 2 meters, 10 watts on 220, and 3 watts on 70 centimeters. So, that's still enough power, and it seems I get decent signal reports with it for the price and the size. You can't really beat it. I got it a couple years ago, so they've probably gone up a little, but who knows. But yeah, I would check that out. And also, summer. I'm not a big fan of hot days in the middle of the day during the summer, but what I do like during the summer are the evenings, and sometimes the way the light comes in and when it cools off a little bit. That's what I like, but I don't like these. Mike checked in earlier from Needles, California, and what do you think of Needles if you've ever been there? It's just hot. That whole area, my sister lives in Phoenix, so I think they're dealing with like 117 degrees down there. Anyway, yeah, always good to hear from you and hope to see you again soon. Thanks, Tree. That was TreeKK7, flying heights backwards. And we're going to go to Chris, Kilo Kilo 7, Hotel Charlie Delta, and I'm hoping there's going to be some other traffic, but if not, please say hi to everyone. Hey, Chris. Well, hey there, Dean. Chris here, KK78CD. I could not not check in on your net. You're doing a fabulous job, and I had no doubt that you would not do a fabulous job. So, fantastic to hear that you out there running a net, and you're really really knocking it out of the park. Oh, your comment about the concert and the moon coming up, I was for sure you were going to talk about Ozzy and of course, Bark of the Moon, but you know, I guess Neil Young's alright, too. Well, how many years has it been since that fateful day that we met you on the John Lewis Memorial Bridge? That was a fantastic serendipity, I guess. Anyhow, Jack is still listening out there. I'll have your hard hats back to you tomorrow, Jack, with no holes in them. That project was a success and is complete. I don't have much else. We're all really tired. We're all headed for bed, and look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Thank you very much for running the net, Dean. You are doing a fantastic job. Alright, 73 to 0, 73, Dean, back to you. KK78CD. Alright, Chris, thanks. So I think that was, God, was it almost three years ago? I think it was the fall of 2022. It was right after the bridge, the John Lewis Bridge, the one that's over I-5. When you're going north, it goes from Northgate over to North Seattle College where I work. And yeah, I was just up there. One day I was on my lunch break and I was checking into Jack's net, and right when Jack called for me there was this whole family walked up. And I'm calling this for everybody who's listening who hasn't heard this story, although I think everybody's probably heard it. But I think it was Amelia said, was, is that a ham radio? And I said yes. And someone said, do you know about PSRG? And I was like, I've talked to them right now. And then it was right when it was time to check in, and then I handed the radio over to you. Yeah, serendipity, the timing of that. It's those kinds of experiences that just make you, I don't know, think there are some external forces out there. So anyway, I really look forward to seeing you and the rest of the family tomorrow. That's, that'll definitely be a high point for me. So anyway, have a good night. And now we're going to go back to, let's see, it's Zephyrhills, Florida. And we're going to hear a little more from Elaine M3OMO. Over to you, Elaine. Thank you very much, Dean. This is M3OMO. First, I too want to say what a great job you're doing running this net, you and Jack. But it's good to hear you and to come in. You're the host at the moment. I usually get in with Jack or someone else. So it's good to be talking with you. We didn't talk about football. I heard you say that at the end after I had given my report. The Tampa Bay Bucks and the Tennessee Titans played tonight their first preseason game. And the Titans lost, Bucks won 3-2, well it was 29-3. And this is our 50th season. And word has it the Bucks are going back to, for how long this season, I don't know. Maybe it's just the first game. Wearing the ice cream, creamsicle orange and white uniforms that we started out with 50 years ago. I think that's kind of neat. I like those, especially with Florida. But anyway, I hope the Bucks have a good year. And my brother lives in Tennessee, so he said to me when I told him about the score for the Titans, he said, well, you know, this is just free season, which is true. We have a long season ahead of us. So I just wanted to report that to you. I don't know about the other games that we're on. He thinks the Pittsburgh Steelers are playing tonight, but we're not sure. Don't see what happens when looking forward to watching the games again. November 3, Oscar Mike Oscar. Again, have a great time. It's a social tomorrow. And yes, use my ticket to get more ice cream. This is N3OMO. Have a great night team. Bye bye. Thanks so much, Elaine. Yeah, well, I hope the Tampa Bay Buccaneers do well. I mean, especially they're in a different division than the Seahawks. So although they are the same conference, so we could meet each other down the line. But yeah, yeah, I hope they do well. Yeah. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers for so many years, they were they were considered like the worst team in the NFL. But in, you know, starting I think it was 2002, they won a Super Bowl and then they won another Super Bowl about five years ago when Tom Brady joined them. So they've become like a real they've become a force. So, yeah, it'll be interesting with the Steelers to see how they do with Aaron Rodgers. So and also, yeah, the Seahawks, they're they've got a new quarterback and Sam Darnold. And they've also got one that they drafted, Jalen Milro, who has a lot of potential. He's like this incredibly fast guy. So anyway, we'll be talking more football as the season goes on. So, I mean, a little little do a little trash talking. How about that? Well, thank you so much, Elaine, for your check in. And that was the end of that round. And we're gonna do well, I'm gonna for now I'm gonna take them as they come. So anyone else like to check in? Name and call."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-09T22:35:02+00:00","id":15689,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15688,"text":" Well, I guess Elaine was the one who got to put the bow on this. Well, I thank all of you. So I thank all of you for joining us tonight for the Saturday, August 9, 9 o'clock net. I'd also like to thank the Puget Sound Repeater Group for the use of this repeater. For more information about the group, please check out our website at psrg.org. PSRG has been hosting daily nets for over 30 years. The nets are a great opportunity for you to test your equipment. Remember, if you don't test your equipment, we can't hear you. I'll now be returning the repeater to normal operation. This is Dean KG7ODB signing off at 1023 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time. Good evening. KG7ODB, Dean, are you still there? Oh, of course I'm still here. In fact, I have to still be here because to me there's nothing worse. I know sometimes people have long nets and they want to get to sleep and they have somewhere to go, but some net controllers just turn off the radio immediately after they're done. But I had to stick around for a few minutes anyway in case people, maybe there's a straggler or people have questions. Hey, we didn't get a squirrel report from you tonight. Over to you. Oh my God, how did I forget the squirrels? Well, they were out on the patio and we're very happy we're doing quality checks by eating the nuts I gave them and they approved. They're just running every which way and chasing each other and generally have a good squirrel day so that they're all doing well. I got a question about you and being in net control. This is, I guess it almost sounds like this is the first time you've been in net control, but I don't think that doesn't sound right. Okay, so officially this is probably the first time, but back about 10 years ago, there was, I think it was on a Sunday night, and there was a guy, Tyler, he was AF7BO. He was the net controller. I think it was him who missed his net. And so they needed someone, so it was like, who's going to run the net? So I faked it. And I think there were probably, I got about 10 check-ins. And I think the reason I've never done another, I've never really gotten into it, I've been asked. But for a long time I was very busy with work and I was also helping a guy named Daniel, KL7WM, do ham radio classes. And I also had the ACS people asking me if I wanted to join them. So it was one of those things where I could only do so much and I knew that if I jumped in or if I did it, it could be one of those rabbit holes. But officially, this is probably the first time that I've done it. So it's probably easier than doing Parks on the Air phone activation. That takes some guts. But anyway, yeah, I hope that answers your question. Over to you, KG70DB. Okay, yeah, you got a natural flair for this. Like I see you doing it down the road again. And yeah, you just got a good voice for it and a way of talking. So I think you're just a natural net controller. So you definitely have my vote to continue on with this. So I hope we do it again because you did quite well, AB6MB. It helps that I also listen and participate in the net. So I know the call signs too. So if I were on some net where it was a bunch of people I didn't know, I'd probably crash and burn. But yeah, it was fun. I'll do it when I can. I can't really do it during the week. Well, during the day I'm working. I'm also salaried. So there might be a conflict if I'm on work hours for the new net. And then at night a lot of times I'm kind of winding down. And sometimes I'll check in the evening nets and I'm barely coherent because I'm falling asleep. Not because of the content of the net but just because it's been a long day. But yeah, I'll be happy to be part of the lineup of people who can jump in from time to time. So over to you. Yeah, I get what you're saying. I guess Saturday night and Sunday night sounds like a good fit for you because you're not working, you're not burned out. Got a chance to sleep in and rest up and get on there. I just enjoyed listening to you tonight. I said, man, he hasn't done this before. He must have. He must have. You did a good job. So, okay, Dean, I won't hold you. But thank you very much for doing it. It was appreciated. AB6MB. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. Thanks a lot, Jeff. I appreciate that. The only other thing I'll say is it does make me now want to go out and get a headset and like a foot pedal so I can be writing things down or typing things. And I know Jack does that. I think Cammy does it too. I'm getting help from Jack but if I were doing this on my own, I'd be like, right now I just have hand mics. So anyway, thanks. I hope you're doing well and stay cool down there. I'm so glad I'm up here in Seattle where it's nice and cool.

We're out here on the Cowabunga net. And we meet seven days a week, Monday through Saturday with a regular net controller, and Sunday with a rotating net controller. And because my truck is still broke down, I didn't get the truck in until yesterday morning, they ordered the part but it didn't come in. Now it won't come in until Monday. I figured, what the heck? I should take a turn at net controller and give some of the other net controllers a break in case they wanna sleep in or have the day off. So I am in 9-0-F-U, in Jacksonville, out of Phoenix, Arizona, taking over net control this morning. And so far, I just go ahead and made a list of people that I've heard out here. I've got BHVKKY Kevin, good morning Kevin, KB0MAI George, good morning George, VL1UKZ Darryl, KJ5IRQ Josh, and VE1WIN Peter, good morning to all three of you. So if you're out here, you'd like to get on the... I think so. Is this how we usually do it? Because I get out here on Sunday morning, usually someone's calling and getting things going. I'll refer to Kevin and George inside, they're out here. Usually, is this how we usually do it on Sunday morning? This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. What say you? Well, I guess we got the A of it, right? Okay, take the list. I know courtesy of question usually gets thrown around, but you're pretty good at doing that anyway. So I'm sure in the process today, questions will be asked. I'm at least able, I mean, today, like yesterday, there are days I can actually stay. I really, honestly really can't now in the weekdays. They're just too hectic for the most part. I'm either just too tired or I have to work. Like at least Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I have to definitely work. So I pretty much, those are hard, really hard to do. And then honestly, I kind of just really go out of my way to try to make Tuesday, Thursday for us, but those are harder and harder for me to do. It's almost like weekends are the best. I haven't forgotten the 19th. So if I say I can make that, I can, you know, like I can meet the goals, but yeah, for the most part, some of it is getting tougher and tougher and tougher. But I do like coming here and the weekends right now seem to be a sure shot, that's for sure. All right, well, I should be here and you know there's others here. You said like five. I didn't count. Everyone I guess waits for the net. It seems like they're right. You can't find nobody that I've known before, but everybody's on right now, your debt. So I'll be back to you, Bill. I'll be here. I hope so. I got to get my coffee. You guys talk it up so I can do that. I know that's not a tall order. So back to you, Bill. From Kevin. All right, thank you, Kevin. Yep, misunderstood the question. The question was do we have usually a rotating net control operator out here? And it's usually a, we'll see who is available, who has time to be able to pick it up on a Sunday. Sometimes we'll have three or four people that are ready for the challenge and sometimes we don't. And then we just kind of go around and have a rag too. That's how I usually work on Sunday from when I've been able to get out here. But next on the list we got George, KV0MAI, who is on his Echo Link node. And at first it was a little quiet. When you first came in, the first transmission, I heard you, it was really quiet, but I got better over time. And then once you turned up your mic gain, it came in just like you're running out of time. It came in just like you were on Echo Link. So good morning, George. How are you doing today? Yeah, good morning, Bill. I am doing just fine. Yeah, it's actually quite gorgeous out here on the back porch. So yeah, I know I get that problem. I go over to the digital bands and I have to turn down my gain because it's just way too hot for most people. And then when I switch back over to All Star or Echo Link, I gotta bring my gain back up because it's the opposite. I don't know why you think it'd be about the same, either way, but of course I'm using two different nodes too. So that probably makes a difference. So I got my All Star node and I have an open spot that I use for the other stuff. So anyhow, yeah, you're more than welcome to it since you're off and I was all set up. I had my Coke and my coffee and my two little computers and a list of questions and a whole bunch of box of Kleenex because my sinuses are going nuts today. So I think I'll just sit back and relax and let you do your thing. So only thing is, you talked about letting a neck controller get to sleep in. If you were to text me, like, oh, I don't know, like two o'clock in the morning, I would have slept till three which wouldn't really make any difference now, would it? But that's just my smart ass answer to getting to sleep in on the day I'm supposed to take it. And one more thing, let it drop for a second."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T04:42:39+00:00","id":15722,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15721,"text":" and we were pretty much doing every other weekend. And then she left and we had one weekend where there was nothing. And then I believe Josh took it that next Sunday. And then I took it and then, no, well, it doesn't really matter. I guess what my point is is that we've got to have a scheduled day for each person that wants to do the net. So maybe somebody needs to sit down. I tried to organize a little bit, but it did not work out the way I thought it was, because it was kind of out of the loop. But if we can have, OK, I do the first Sunday of the month, Josh does the second Sunday of the month, and whoever does the third. And I don't know how many net controllers we're going to have for this Sunday net. But if we can just figure that out, so I know what day I'm supposed to be here for my turn, I'd appreciate that. And I got a whole bunch of people on here. That's why I'm talking about it now. You got Darrell and you. And of course, there's Josh. And I know he's on the list. He's on the website. You and I, Josh, are on the website. We are popular now. Wow, famous. Yeah, we're famous. Anyways, back to that control. AP zero MAI. Yeah, Sunday is a black horse, because it wasn't a solid thing there. It just, if people showed up, they showed up. And if they didn't show up, it was always a come out. And they have a rag shoe. And then when they made it in the net, I'm like, OK. Well, I'm going to have to try to get out here on a more regular basis on a Sunday when I can. Usually, I'll take a Sunday and try to sleep in a little bit, just because I'm on the West Coast here. And it is 439 in the morning and 89 degrees. It's been warm. It wasn't as warm as the first day on the show. The first day on the show, it got up to like 114. And it's only been getting up to about 108 the last couple of days. But it's warm enough. And I went through that question, but I didn't call for more check-ins, because there may be people out here waiting to check in. So that's what I'm going to do now. So if you'd like to get a check-in on the Sunday edition of the cover Monday net, please come down with your call set. This is KN4LBF. This is D.

Thank you guys for checking in on the Sunday morning net. And I have a request. George, Josh, we need pictures. We need pictures for the website. You're on there, but nobody knows what you look like. So if you could send a picture just email it to either Gray and or Gabby. That would be perfect. And then we can get your picture up on the website and you will be official official. Everybody will know who to look out for and run the other way. But yeah, no we need your picture guys. So if you could do that, that would be great. I'd appreciate it. Alright, so yeah, and I screwed up. I knew Dee was going to be out here and in the beginning I knew exactly what she was going to be doing, but then I ended up in my own head screwing up the dates and I thought she was supposed to be out here this weekend. And I told people that she was going to be out here this weekend. That's another reason why I felt the need and obligation to be out here because I wasn't sure if someone was going to be out here. So I told Darryl last night once I found out that I was going to be home that I would get up at 4 o'clock in the morning and make this thing happen. And I got to drive out to my mom's today. Well actually she's staying at a friend's house because she took that fall last Sunday. And knocked out her tooth and fractured her arm. So my brother's been on me about getting up there and talking to her. We're trying to decide or figure out a way to take care of her. And I don't know if she's had that many falls, but my brother said that she's had several falls. I know she's had this would be at least a second or maybe a third, but that's because her knee has been bothering her. But now my brother wants to move her out to Alabama and he's got about 18 kids at home and plus his mother-in-law. And every time my mom's gone out there to visit she's always unstressed. And one time she had to come back early because the stress was too much for her. So I'm not sure if she's going to want to do that. But my brother thinks that either I or her, he should be taking care of her, not friends from church and her friends. And I'm like well that's the people she likes, that's the church she likes. So I've got to go talk to her. Oops, going to grab one. So you guys can be thinking about that because that's going to be my first question today. Have you had a period that you've had to have that talked with? And what was that like? But we've got Darrell on the list, V01 UKZ was the next one. So I'm going to go over to Darrell and say good morning to you. Welcome to sunrise. Well actually it's not that early in the morning for you but it's early considering the last month or so and you're staying up all night. So welcome to the morning after Darrell, V01 UKZ. Welcome to you Bill and thank you for picking it up this morning man, hugely appreciate it. Of course with your schedule we don't often get to hear you as neck control and when we do it's definitely a treat man. So thank you. And yeah that's got to be rough dealing with family and family with different opinions about how things should be done. I do have a great relationship with my family for a lot of years. Quite a lot of years. We had some controversy when I was young and let me know if I'm breaking up Bill. Using my phone I didn't want to risk the repeater even though it does seem fairly stable. It is blinking in and out over there so if that happened my audio or is it just a repeater? Sounds like it's just a repeater because you're coming in clear and strong. Okay number one thank you man. I'm not sure if we're still having internet issues here or what the case is. If we are it's very intermittent now. Not nearly as bad as it was because the all star and stuff is staying tuned in the way it's supposed to. Yeah like I was saying I didn't have a great relationship with my parents or my family in general for Jesus man almost 20 years no 15 years I suppose. But we're all pretty close these days just not back then. So in regard to having that talk with my parents no not yet. They're still pretty decent pretty easily to live where they're living to. And I came close by. I live really close by so if anything were to happen we'd deal with it pretty quickly. We're not sure how long my mom's going to live because she does have myeloma cancer, blood cancer so I'm surprised she's lived as long as she has with it actually. But my dad he's okay he's got health issues and stuff but I'll take care of him the best I can I just can't go wipe his asses and stuff like that. Let me reset. You know with my vision and stuff that's just not something I can do. So if it ever comes to that we'd have to get a nurse or something like that to come in you know a home care nurse or something but other than that I mean I can do most stuff. I can cook, clean you know do shopping, garbage you know outside that type of thing. So let me reset again. A lot of stuff I do to help out around here already you know so things that my parents can't do so well I'll pick up the slack around here so. It is what it is right? Yeah I think this is the first time if I'm not mistaken but I've been around for the absolute beginning of the Sunday night. I made an effort to wake up this morning. I went to bed early last night when she said you were doing the meds this morning. I was like yeah I want to be there so I went to sleep really early it wasn't even eleven o'clock I think and then I was up bright and early. I think I woke up an hour and a half before the med started something like that it was like 7.30 in the morning so not quite the 4.30 you're dealing with Bill but definitely early for me and all things considered I'm back on a normal sleep schedule these days so happy about that. Anyway then I'll pass it back over to you if you don't want to get too crazy. Thank you Darrel and thank you for making the effort and appreciate it and the vote of confidence. But yeah I'm usually an early riser. I'm usually I like going to bed early and getting up early so that's usually not an issue for me plus when I drive the night shift it works out that way but you know sometimes I can push it and sleep until 6 o'clock in the morning. Oh my gosh I'm a lazy bum. Sometimes you just don't want to wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning but usually that's when I usually can't sleep anymore 4 or 5 somewhere around there. So it's a lot nicer in the winter time when we're back on Mountain Time Zone right now. Summer we're on Pacific This is for Peter Station Kilo Kilo 7 November Quebec November I will go over to Josh KJ5 IRQ and for those who don't know he has been working on some pictures. We have a unofficial, this may be soon to be official Hammy the Hamster and he's done wonders with that. Him and AI and yes I did Darrel thank you very much and but we are going to go to Josh next so great work out there Josh I'm assuming that Darrel has been talking to you about that making him the official do-job and mascot but over to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T05:11:36+00:00","id":15725,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15724,"text":" I thought I'd make sure I got up early just in case you couldn't and there needed to be a filler. I know that Gray and Jordan are struggling to get some kind of, I guess, steady ping going on Sundays. Yeah, during Fridays. Fridays, you know, it's gonna be fun. I think I've substituted my Sunday net for the Friday net and I don't think a Friday then turning around during a Sunday would be that much fun for me. Yeah, so I spent most of the day yesterday really deep diving into reputable characters with AI. Of course, everything's done with prompting, but it isn't like I'm sitting here drawing out the character. In fact, I kind of gave Daryl some snippets of what it kind of takes to work on something like this. It was pretty in depth. I was really surprised in the level of complexity that's built into trying to make a repeatable character. You know, every AI engine, every time AI gets a prompt, it reasons it or decodes it, however you'd like to put it in your mind. So it can have a different result every time unless you're really, really careful about how you use the exact same base, is what I call it. So yeah, I started with just playing with the cartoon character and I used a henchman of mine. I have two henchmen if you don't know. I'm an animal person. I like little critters. So I got two henchmen. I got Fred and George, named after the brothers on Harry Potter, my wife's huge Harry Potter fan. So I took a few pictures of Fred and loaded them into AI and started developing a character. So that took a few hours to really flesh out the character. I probably did somewhere around 30 variations of just an image of dialing them and trying one style and not liking it, trying some color scheme and not liking it. I think I spent about 12 or 14 hours yesterday doing nothing but that. Of course it was 107 degrees in Texas and my wife and I had already decided we were doing nothing on Saturday. So it was just a day to be able to do that. I didn't hear back from you. I texted you the last video I sent you. I hope you took it in good sight. It was fun to make. So yeah, I can tell you more about it in my next story on KJ5. I'll get you back to bail in that control. Just real quick, as a reminder, that was the one with the joke. Is that correct? Yes, sir. The joke. By the way, my laptop, the joke was hilarious. It should have been even funnier after I made a video. Bye, Chief. Yep, not a joke for the open airways for sure. But that was a joke. I was going through reels and I heard that and I thought you'd get kicked out of that and send it to a few other people with a strong enough constitution that it wouldn't offend them. So yeah, that was funny. He kind of ended in a strange position at the end of the video there. And that was, it seemed like it had frozen on me. So it took me a couple of seconds just to realize that was how it ended. So if there were any criticisms, which there's not, that would be the only criticism is how it ended there. Because he started moving and then all of a sudden he froze. It would have been better if he had been standing up and ended with a clear picture of him. But yeah, that was cool. I had my call sign on there and everything. That was really nifty. Thank you. And with that, we're going to go back up to Canada to the E1WI and Peter. Good morning, Peter. Good to hear you out here. Hope everything's going good for you today. And why don't you tell us what you're doing. In my overview. Good morning, Bill. Morning, all. We're doing our eggs on the deck here. Very windy, which is nice. Nice and breathing. Good. And talking about my mom, she turned 74 today. It's her birthday today. So I'm not putting her in a home or anything. I live with her, right? So we kind of look after each other. So that's good. Yep, Kelsey turns 74 today. So we're going to go for dinner tonight. I bought her a red bouquet of flowers yesterday. And I bought her a card. And I bought her a lemon meringue pie yesterday. She loves lemon meringue pie. And I love lemon meringue pie. So I picked one up yesterday when I was little. So other than that, there's not too much going on. Just sitting on the deck here watching the, you know, just chilling. So back over to neck control. Good evening, Peter. And yeah, I mean, that's between you and Darryl. I mean, you both live right next to your parents. And you're able to, you know, be able to get a phone call or a text, you know, or a shout in your case. You're right there. You can help out. You can do this. You can do that. And, you know, be helpful and, you know, kind of take care of them. And if they're fall, you're right there. You can get there much quicker than an ambulance or someone who lives in another household around the block. And that's great. I mean, that's ideally that'd be a good situation. And I would love to be able to do that. But, you know, you know my job. You know, I'm lucky to get home, you know, once every three weeks. Sometimes it's four weeks. And we live about 58 miles from where my mom lives. So it's a little bit harder for us to do that. But she's got a lot of friends. And she's got her church group right there in Casa Grande. And if she moved in, if she came over here and moved in with us, I think that would be hard for her. And if she moved into my brother's place, I think that would really be hard. And I had to tell my brother last night that, you know, because he kept on pushing on the subject. And I kept telling him, you know, I'm going to go talk to her today. And, you know, we're going to, you know, I'm going to see how things are and talk to some other people. And it's not, you know, like she hasn't really been able to take care of herself. I put told this accident here. She has had to have someone come in to do physical therapy with her. But, you know, this is how she likes to live as far as I know. She doesn't say anything to the contrary. And I've asked her a couple times, but, you know, she likes the solitude. For the most part, she likes the peace and quiet and to hunt around. You know, when she gets to a point where she needs to have, you know, a full-time care, then we're thinking of something about my wife and I were thinking something more in love of assisted living where she could have her own apartment, you know, sort of what, I can't remember her name now, Missy. I kind of like what Missy's doing. You know, she's got her own apartment, but they make meals. And she has the people, the rest of the people in the community there. And she has help if she needs it. But with that, I will pass it over. Whoops, let me grab one. Almost timed that right. We got KN4LBF, Dee, and Dee will be in Met Control next Saturday, helping out Kevin Campbell and X. So looking forward to that, Dee. Sorry for mixing up the dates there, but I'm glad you're out here today. How are you doing this morning? This is KN4LBF. This is Dee. Hi, good morning, everyone. Like always, I woke up this morning and gave gratitude that I was about to wake up. I always have to say that. And, you know, I'm looking forward, excited, excited, yay! Everybody probably boos me. I'm going to see the messages, boo! No. Anyway, you know, I was listening to George about what he said about Sundays. I think that's a great idea. Everybody's sending him messages and stuff that he can coordinate the Sundays only, I guess is what he's talking about. I think having coordination for a day is really good. So the only thing I would suggest is at least once a week make a comment on the net and let everybody know that you're doing the schedule for Sundays and coordinate it so everybody knows and you can send emails out to everyone knowing monthly or whatever and they'll call you if they have to take out or whatever. But I think that's great, having someone coordinate that. I don't have much to do except I have a rodent in my attic and I can hear it and it's driving me crazy. Today is Sunday, you know how that goes, so I'm going to have someone go up there anyway. But I'm assuming it's a squirrel because that's all we have. We don't really have raccoons or other things that could get up there. At least I don't think so. I don't think we have any mice or anything. I think it's a squirrel that got in. And I've been telling my husband, you know, at least once a year we have to check the vents. And you know, husbands sometimes ignore their wives and I've been telling him we need to send him. So here we are. It woke me up this morning and was like, oh gosh, there's a rodent up there. Anyway, this is K&4 LBM, back to the net. No, no, no, no, we don't ignore our wives. We just have selective hearing. We hear what we want to hear and we don't hear what we don't want to hear. Yeah, yeah, it's a bad habit but I think it goes both ways. But more so on the husband's side because they get asked more questions. Or have to reply to more stuff. We're quiet folk. But sorry to hear about the rodents. Our house is fairly closed off in the attic so we're hoping that it will be a while. And we don't get a lot of mice in this desert area. And we've been luckily we haven't had the scorpions. We've had crickets, that's for sure, we've had crickets get into the house. And we're trying to think, flies, we get some flies in here. Maybe a mosquito every now and then. But living in the desert, not a lot. And we've been lucky we haven't had snakes. But we haven't had ants. We haven't had any in the house. But we've had some manhounds on the back. And we've got a pest guy that comes out and sprays on a regular basis. So luckily we've avoided most of those. And they're not the big black scorpions. They're kind of sand colored or almost transparent. But a couple houses down from us had a problem. And when we first moved in. But luckily we haven't seen any here. But thank you, Dee. And yep, looking forward to it. Don't sell yourself short. I'm sure you'll do fine. Everybody says they think you'd be great. And I am one of those people. So we'll catch you out here on Saturday. And now we have ZS6ZYM. John, are you listening to your wife? Dee would like to know. And I know if you're over to here, John."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T05:12:50+00:00","id":15726,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15725,"text":" Yeah, it can be a little bit frustrating when you're trying to get on the net and the internet keeps cutting out on you.

Well, good morning, Bill and everybody on the net. I just made some changes to the computer here in the house. So I'm making sure my EchoLink thing is working good. But not a whole lot going on. Just going to kind of chill out today. Have to run out to Iowa again on Monday. So they've been pretty much running every week. And it's a production issue between the two plants. So that's why they keep me running. And I've only got three, four days at home, or four days at home to try and work on the low-net toil again. But that's kind of got on the back burner. I've been working on a project for Deborah. And I've got like one more day on that project that I can focus on getting the beam up in the air, working on the antennas on the shack there. And I can't remember his name, but the last guy to check in working on his station, good deal. It's always fun. So I'm just going to get one of them done. I've got things to do today, Bill. But I just wanted to check in and let your people here know what I sound like so you can let me know how this thing's working. I do have kind of a little frog in my throat. So take that in consideration. So have a great day. W-2-A. Yeah, you sound great. You asked for the sound of your frog in your throat. I was going to say something about that, that you sounded a little bit under weather, but a little over talked. And other than that, the transmission was clear. There was no static, not a lot of background noise. So everything's good there. Hope you have a safe and pleasant trip out to Iowa. I think he said Iowa. And we'll catch you around, for sure. And with that, and for anybody's, well, to make it legal, this is N9 OFU Bill out of Phoenix or Tolson, Arizona. But now we're going to go over to W-A-6 ABC, slowly becoming a regular again on the Kowabunga net, which is highly, greatly appreciated. You still doing photography, Mike? I do see a picture that you post every now and then up on Facebook. But I don't see as many as I used to. So I hope you're still into that. We got Pat at KB0MAI, who has been filling in as our provider of pictures. But how are the cats doing? That's what everybody wants to know. How are all those cats doing?

Haven't really been doing much except stressing out on a move, potential move, to pop up, upstate, like you were saying. It's about the only thing I can afford. We've got some financial issues here, so it's making it necessary. Sorry, I dropped my microwave there. Making it necessary to sell the house. This is the family home that I've lived in since I was born. My family had this house since 1925 when it was built. So it's a huge thing to do, to sell it, and to try to move 15 cats. So that's what I'm working on right now. Currently working on medicines that would sedate them so they could get them into carriers and move them. So today's job is to try this antihistamine and make sure it puts them out so I can get them into carriers. This is not actually to do the job. This is just to test the antihistamine. And you've got 15 cats and 15 possibilities for different side effects when that happens. So that's the scoop. Haven't really had time for photography or anything else. Just a lot of stress, unfortunately. So nice to hear you guys on the net. Not sure if I'll be around for a second. If you call me and I'm not there, it just means that I've gone back to work. I'm just working on breakfast right now. I'm going to check in with mom at the nursing home in a couple minutes, see how she's doing. And thanks for asking after her, Bill. I appreciate that. And I guess that's about it from Rockaway Beach, New York. I'll send it back to net. Appreciate you taking the chair. It's nice to hear you in net control there, Bill. You sound great. N9OFUWA6ABC, back to net. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo. I'm going to put it up on mic. And no, I mean, that one's mic. We had cats, we had mom, and we had the beach. And that's how we know, Mike, the important things in your life. And I'm really sorry to hear much of you having to sell the family home there. That's never easy. And for the reasons that I've been and for the reasons that you have to sell it. It's not a kind world we live in. They always want results. And as soon as you stop feeding the beast, the beast feeds on you. And it's like a better system. But it seems like it's a system that we were stuck with. And yeah, having so many cats. I mean, usually if you have like one or two pets, you can usually get away with sneaking them in the carriers. But when you've got that many cats, once you get one or two in the carriers, the rest get wise. And they get nervous, and they get antsy, and they get vicious. And they let their decision to be known. They do not want to go in the carrier now that they see that that's happening. So yeah, that's got to be a trial, trying to get all those cats taken care of in one shot. So I wish you luck there. Wear long sleeves, gloves, and a face mask. Don't be afraid to cover up. But I'm glad your mom's still doing well. And but with that, we are at the bottom of the list. So I'm going to go ahead and make another quick check and see if anybody else wants to get checked into the cowabunga net. We've only lost two so far. That's amazing. So with that, I will make the call. If anybody would like to get checked in on the cowabunga net, please come out with your call sign and your first name, and we'll get you added to the list.

Glad that we're able to fill in some empty space for you. And happy when you get the opportunity to check in, even if it's not today. We so appreciate you out there. All right, so with that, we will go back to the top of the list. We got Kevin, VA3KKY. You'll have to let me know if I'm being a little bit quiet, because I've got my microphone right next to my mouth. I'm trying to be quiet so I don't wake up my wife or me. But it sounds like I'm doing OK with that. And having the microphone headset that I have sounds like or is a great opportunity to be quiet but still be heard. So Kevin, VA3KKY. You still with us out there? Go ahead. And I know you're dealing with your dad now. Are you guys moving towards putting him in an assisted living place and you getting your own place? Are you guys sticking it out at the house you were living in? Honestly, I think everyone's sitting on their hands for that. I don't think anyone's rushing for that. And I'm glad I'm not rushing either. Honestly, I hope I kick off first before I have to deal with most of it, which probably won't happen. The more I say that, the more I'm convinced I'll be like hundreds of years old. I'll watch everyone else go. That's the whole point of getting old is you watch your friends die. And it's like too late to make new friends. It's how it really goes. It really is. My dad, one of the indications is he's lost a lot of his checker buddies. He's lost a lot of his dice buddies. He used to always call, see if there's any extra legs around tonight for dice. Because we need three or four legs for dice. So that's pretty much gone. That's pretty much shot out of the water. So you lose everybody you know. As far as now earlier, I thought I heard you ask if you know something about talking to your parents about stuff. I don't know if you went right now to them about the birds and bees and nature and stuff. I never talked to them about any such thing. Never at all. In fact, I just kept all my personal stuff out of my mom's way. She was a gossip ho. So there's no way. And even when dad was in good condition, I don't know. He was too much of a joker for me to really want to bring any serious things to the table with him. I mean, he could be serious when our mom made him. So that was kind of a deal there. He didn't exactly have tough structure or tough holes in the first place. So that was at least good. But yeah, nowadays, I have no idea. I mean, we're getting closer and closer to pretty much launching off reality. But I don't really know. I guess if I was to keep up with him and have bridge friends or dice friends or whatever, I'd probably have to start making them. Because see, I have such a cut-off point from people at any school I went to that I just broke away from them. So I wouldn't know if they're dead or alive. Like a lot of people say that they join various different social media things like Facebook and that, and they find their school friends. I'm often not really recognized a lot of them. They were static when I got away from the Ontario School of the Blind. I hated them all. I maybe not have hated every student. Let's not totally exaggerate. I think I hated staff. And I based it on user base. It was easy for me to say, screw all of this. So if there's a chance, I might have forgotten. Just like now, there's been various neighborhood schools I went to. And I definitely lost track of a lot of them. I'd almost have to start making new those kind of events. And it just doesn't really work the same way when you're older, right? It's kind of like my dad's in that position where he's almost 100. He ain't hanging around 26-year-olds. You know what I mean? It just doesn't happen. And so I'm almost 50. I ain't hanging around 20-year-olds. You think about it, right? When we was kids, we'd wait until those mugs left the room, right? Like, serious business didn't start until they left the room. It's like, get your ass out of here, old man. We want to get high and be stupid. You're in the way. You're a little bit too mature for those things, right? I almost think of LL when he'd say, my old Jew teacher's not supposed to rap. He said that to Dis Iced Tea. But anyway, it's like he was on this whole F elders kind of thing. But that's how kids are, right? So it's like I'm getting with no 26-year-olds. I don't even know any place to go where that even happens. So you can't make new friends unless you're on the ham radio. And then you can lie because they can't see you. I don't know. All right. OK, I'll let someone else talk. I don't know what to talk about, but I always talk about a lot. I don't say much, but I talk a lot. So OK, back to you, Bill. This is the 8th week, KKY in Toronto. This is repeater station kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All sorry, no news. Kevin, the question that I had asked earlier was if you had to have that talk with your parents about moving out of their house. And if you had to move out of their house, you could have gone into some kind of an assisted living or something where they would have people being able to take care of them. But that's all right because it's just a question in case anybody wanted something to think about or talk about. And if you've got something else more interesting to talk about, then that's what we want to hear because the thing that people are most interested in. And if you're passionate about something, then it's never boring. So with that, we have a late-minute edition. We have Steve, N0BF, who's in Buffalo, New York. I thought he had gone out to Buffalo and he had gone back to Colorado because I knew he was in Ohio the other day. But apparently he's back in Buffalo. So he's still on, well, he's always on vacation. But he is not at home in Colorado. So Steve, N0BF, how are you doing and how is the trip? This is N0BF on the cell phone, iPhone 16, in Buffalo, New York. OK, well, it's a little confusing. And every time I explain the trip, it gets more confusing. Anyway, long story short, we came out each on the train and today we're going to head back on the train to Colorado. So that's the long and short of it. We've been zipping around in a car between here and Cleveland, Ohio. And there's another station between us and that's Pennsylvania, Erie, Pennsylvania. Had lunch there yesterday. So anyway, we ended up close with the Nye Air Falls, which is in the Canada area. We are all around. So anyway, we've been having fun out here and we bought a house. And so I'm going to be, my wife's not going to be moving to the Cleveland, Ohio area. You've probably been out here in a truck, I bet you. I don't know if you come out this far east or not. Anyway, I'm not sure that's, anyway, who knows? I feel, I know you get around a lot. Anyway, the questions about your parents, all that, I, that's a big one. I'll answer that later. But for now, I just wanted to say hi and bye. My wife, we're getting out for a walk and we'll come back. And then if you're still here, I'll check back in. But anyway, so that's the story. The train goes from here to Chicago tomorrow. And then tomorrow, the following day, we get to Colorado and Grand Central Station. So then I'll be heading to the town of Loveland where I live. All the facts about this, guys, anywhere in the world you can check in. This is N0PS. And I appreciate it very much, Bill. And I will listen for a bit until you go on a walk. It's N0PS. All right. Thank you, Steven. Yeah, I've been in that area a lot. My wife is from Binghamton, New York, which is at the junction of law 86 and 81. So that's where she grew up. And we lived back there. I started driving a truck when I was living back there. So a lot of time spent in that area. My terminal for the trucking company I worked for was in, well, it's in Syracuse now. Used to be in another town that is escaping my memory. But yep, know the area. So you enjoy your walk. And if you come back, just let me know. I'm trying to keep an eye on the chat box as well. And we'll get you back in there, Steve. But for now, I'll take you off the list. And we're going to go to George, KV0MAI. Hopefully he's still there. It's been a while since we've been around. But George, if you're still there, it's over to you. Oh, yeah. My turn. OK, gotcha. Gotcha. Oh, I have your KV0PSF sitting out on the back porch with me. And we were looking at what's going on out here. I got a bird feeder and a bird bath out here. And it's starting to get active again finally. We went on vacation for two weeks. Asked the kids to fill up the bird bath every other day and give them bird seed. They didn't. And that chased all the birds away. And then when I got back, I got back into the routine of everything. And it took about three weeks, I guess, before we started seeing birds again. Today, we've got lots of squirrels down there trying to eat the seed off the grass that the birds stung down. And we had four or five birds there and a couple of squirrels. They cut it ice. I like watching them when I'm out here. I'd like to do one more thing. I'd like to get out one of them hummingbird feeders and put it on the porch. And so I'd have to take care of the hummingbirds too. But it's just nice to have. My goal is eventually get enough birds that want to come around that I can do a little bit of bird photography. But we'll have to wait and see. And there goes my dog. Reset. We've got a quick, funny story for you. Now, as you guys know, I have a chihuahua. And my daughter has a chihuahua. And they wind up living here more than anything else. So we usually have two chihuahuas. My son went on a trip. And he brought over his American Eskimo to my daughter. And somehow, it got him over to our house. Somehow, we have an American Eskimo. But this dog is extremely strange. It trusts everybody and anybody except me. And it will not go near me. It'll come up and let me, you know, I can hand him a treat or something like that. But cannot let her, she won't let me pet her or anything else. So last night, my wife decided to go with my grandson and daughter to a swimming pool. And I was left alone with this dog. Now, my goodness, this dog is like a dog. Now, my goodness, this dog is like two years old. And not once does he trust me. But when they left, about 20 minutes later, I got out of my chair to go get something. And she walked up to me. And I bent over. And I was expecting her to run like usual. And instead, she allowed me to pet her. A couple of times, she did that while they were gone. And she looked at me like, you're the only one left. So I guess I have to trust you. But she had that eye of, oh, I'm just waiting for you to do something bad to me, which I've never done a damn thing bad to her at all. I mean, there's nothing to give her treats and try to play ball with her, this, that, and the other. But so I don't know what her problem is. But I had a breakthrough last night until my wife got home. And now she won't trust me again at all. She shies away from me completely. Anyways, back to neck control, KB0MAI."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T05:44:03+00:00","id":15737,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15736,"text":" some pleasure out of the dog situation there. I usually let people know that dogs, pets in general, a good sense of character, but in this case, it doesn't work to your advantage, so I'm not gonna say that. But yeah, dogs sometimes can be anxious, you know, they have their packs, their group, and if you're not part of that group, then you're on the outside and they gotta protect the group from you. And I ran into a dog, well, yeah, I didn't run into the dog, the dog was inside the building and I came in and sat down. But it looked very much like Gabby's dog, the same coloring and everything, it was the same breed, and a real pretty dog, but she was sketchy, she didn't find me worthy of her attention, and I deserved the park or two. So nothing hurts more than being rejected by an animal, that's for sure. But with that, we'll go over to Darrell, and he did a pretty good impersonation to Darrell, let's see if he's up in Adam or if he's playing a game or what's up with him, but hopefully he'll be out there and he'll grace us with another go around. V1 UKZ N9O. V1 UKZ N9O. He plays with two out of three of my cats on a regular basis, they all hang out together. So I don't know what it is, but if I go into mom's house and the cat is there and I go near him at all, like even if I'm just passing by him within two feet, he'll hiss. And if I try to pet him, forget it, he'll claw my hand and try to bite me, and he's very, very dysfunctional when it comes to me, he doesn't like me at all. My parents went to Florida a couple of years ago, and I was in charge of feeding their cat. And every time I'd go up in that house and feed him, and then let him out, he was all purrs, he was friendly, you wouldn't believe it was the same cat. And then two of our parents were back from Florida, he was back to hissing at me again. Isn't that crazy? It's not that he doesn't like me, he liked me just fine when I was feeding him. But as far as touching him or petting him, forget it. Now I'm a type of person when it comes to a cat, especially if the cat knows me and just doesn't like me. I'll... Hey, I'm okay, let me reset. I go over, I'll pick him up, wait at random, and give him a cuddle. And sometimes they like that, sometimes they don't. My mom's cat, no, he doesn't like it. He'll kick off with his back paws and try to jump away. That's the kind of guy he is. But nice cat, nonetheless, and he's a nice-looking cat. You can't blame a cat for not liking everybody or liking people. Like, I have three cats, and one of them doesn't like anybody or any animal. Like, I've never seen an exception. V01UKZ, back to you, Bill. Oh, my God, I still have my mic open. V01UKZ. Yep, can't take the mic back if you don't give it to me. But we've had our mic drops here in the past. I'm not sure if you can hear me, but I'm not sure. I'm not sure if you can hear me. I've had our mic drops here in the past. When I was over at my daughter's house taking care of her dogs when they went to Disneyland, I got friendly with some of the dogs. And for the most part, they were wary of us. But we were there for three or four days taking care of them, feeding them, doing all the stuff we needed to do. And then I went back a couple weeks later, and it was all back to Mark, Mark, Mark. So just you're not part of the crew. You're part of the temporary crew. And as long as you're the only one there, they're not going to let in. But as soon as the head of the pack comes back into town, they have to go back to letting the head of the pack know that they're still in the head of the pack and that they're not going to have anything to do with you. Josh, you got a, I think, while you let the answers, I can't remember, do you have cats, dogs? Well, I know you got one dog. For some reason, I didn't think you had cats, but then there's a couple times when I thought you might have cats. So let's say, yeah."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T05:44:17+00:00","id":15738,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15737,"text":" Oh, sorry.

But for now, if he's available, we'll go to VE1WIN, Peter. I know Peter doesn't have, well, I don't think he has any pets, because they do a lot of traveling. And that's one thing about pets, if you've got pets, you don't do a lot of traveling, or you take the pets with you. But, um, are you available, Peter? Are you out there? Go ahead. Yeah, I'm here, Bill. I don't have any pets. I had a dog. He died, uh, 2012. But I haven't had any pets since then, so here you go. Yeah, I like Daryl's cat. I'm shocked. He was even shocked when I sat down and so-so came over. As close as you did that time when I came over there last year. And he said she never goes near anybody, not as close as she came to me. She was, like, not that far from me. So here you go. And, uh, Tilly was a good cat. He came over and saw me, and so did Shadow, I think. Yeah. Yeah, I don't have that much else going on here, Bill, so. Just thinking, I'm just watching the Canada games now. The Brunswick versus Nova Scotia in the baseball. Uh-uh, so there you go. That's what we're doing right now. Gonna get a shower here soon, though. Not for a little bit, but there you go. I'm gonna do a little work on my tower, I think, today. Try and get some more holes into the pipe, so there you go. So back to you there, Bill. Go ahead. Hi, thank you, Peter. Yeah, we, uh, we were a lot, we were cat people. Well, my wife was cat people, so we had cats for most of our time together when we didn't have pets. And then, uh, when my other daughters started getting into the dog business, uh, we ended up with, uh, Lucy, which was our first dog. And so we had a dog and a cat, and then we moved out here, and we lived at our friend's house. Uh, we brought the dog, but we weren't able to bring the cat, so the cat stayed with our son. Um, and the cats started out as our friends when she was living with us. And then when she moved to Arizona, she moved into a place where she couldn't bring her cat, so we ended up with the cat. But the, uh, my son was the final, uh, caretaker of the cat until, uh, she had to be put down because of her age and cancer and everything else. Um, but, uh, and now we have no cancer in the hands of two dogs. Peter Station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. All-Star Note 6222. Located in Shelton, Washington. And, uh, well, I'm not, uh, I'm gonna save that for later. But, uh, I will go to D, uh, KN4LBF, because she's been waiting patiently, and she's still out there. So, uh, and she does not have, uh, uh, scorpions. Uh, she has, uh, uh, black snakes in the alligators. Yeah, I'll stick with the scorpions. But over to you, D. This is KN4LBF. Thanks. Yeah, we have black snakes, and, um, the only way I can describe it is the snakes that are here, their normal size is as large as, um, a 40-inch men's belt, because we tried to loop it one time. It didn't work. But, yeah, they're very, and, um, they're very, they're total muscle. I picked one up one time. It was total muscle. And, um, the alligators, now I never saw one or two recently. And, um, we were walking to walk the dog, you know. There's no sign saying alligator. Watch out, nothing. You know, I guess it's a, it's a four-hour-to-thing. You just know there's alligators. So, we went, and this huge 15-foot one came in front of our truck, and I thought he was going to bite the tires. So we're waiting for him to cross over. We were so shocked. We didn't even take a picture of it. It was so big. It just looked at us, and then it kept on going. It was crossing the reserve pond. There was one pond here, and the other one he was going to. And I said, they would gulp up like a little chihuahua. That's how big it is. So, I'm like, they should have signs around here, because you got a lot of people coming in from different places, visiting, and they don't know. Those things are hanging out, you know, waiting for dinner. And, um, I think you, hold on, I'm going to reset. Just give me a second. I think you guys were talking about pets and animals, and I got myself, um, I had to. And, you know, we put him down because he was really, really suffering. But his lady, Penny, which I got from the ASPCA, they warned me about her. They said, listen, she barked. So, the barking was not no problem, because whenever she saw anything wrong, she barked and we looked. But she was definitely a lead. And she got so bad with making sure that she protected us that, you know, it was even a problem to take her to the doctor. We had to muzzle her. And, um, every time we took her anywhere, the red flag would go up that she's a problem, and we couldn't leave her anywhere. So, we haven't gone on vacation in a long time. And even going into a hotel with her muzzled, it's a problem because the moment she saw any other animal or anything, she would just, like, want to go. So, um, we're, you know, we still love her, you know, because the way I see it, you know, even though she was a problem child, um, I have to look out for her because that's all she has is me. Us. You know, I wish I had someone to take care of me when I was a kid. I had a long, terrible journey as a child, you know. My parents were not good and, you know, they shouldn't have had kids."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T05:55:28+00:00","id":15740,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15739,"text":" Well, I think you've found out, B. If you're still out there and you hear me, go ahead. You said they just shouldn't have had kids. This is Kay in Fort Albia. Yeah, I don't think they should have had kids. They didn't know how to take care of us. They left us days without food. And at that time, 55, 60 years ago, they didn't have child welfare like they do today. So we were left there. And like I said, we survived it. I didn't turn out to be a, I didn't allow it to make me into a victim. But my brother, he acted out. He really did. He didn't take life. And he was a different personality. He was very angry. But life turned out a little different for me because I didn't wanna be miserable for the rest of my life for things that weren't in my mentalness, things in your head going over and over again. I didn't want that. So anyway, everything is, and oh, hold on one second. About pets. My pet, when I try to go to bed, she's the boss, she's the lead. She does not allow me to get into my side of the bed. My husband has to convince her to allow me every night to allow me to get in my bed because she thinks that's her bed. Isn't that something? This is KN4LBF, this is D. Back to the net. Yeah, they tend to get possessive of their beds. And we had our Lucy who would always sleep with us and she always liked coming over and sleeping next to me because she was more of a daddy's girl than a mommy's girl. But they're such a joy. And for the little time that we have them, it just doesn't seem like it's long enough. But oops, I forgot to put that in the box. I forgot to put that in the box. I'm trying to clean up my desk a little bit, make it a little more presentable. I've got a lot of stuff on it. Things I'd like to do with it and I just haven't done with it. Got radios here and there. Our friend has these little thing, BF88S. And at one point we were going to program them and then we never got around to doing that. Other things came up and I don't have the wherewithal to do it myself so they just sit here on my desk and it's like, I wanna get them off the desk. I want to make my desk mine again. So we'll see what we can do there. But we just heard from Dee and we're going to, well, yeah. We're gonna go ahead and go to Ben VE3FBX. Now Ben is short for Bentley and Bentley is a name that has fond memories from the movie Secret to My Success. Because that was one of his names, Bentley. And I always picture the guy, the head guy in the mail room making fun of his name. That always comes up in my memory every time I hear the name Bentley. But he wants to be known as Ben for obvious reasons. So Ben, it's over to you. This is a VE3FBX. Actually, I don't mind either. When I was younger, I was real particular about being called Ben, not Bentley. It seems to be a very unique name. I grew up in Northern Saskatchewan. Now I go by Bentley at work. Ben with close friends is just quicker, but either is fine. I've got also one little cat to rescue my ex, rescued from a farm she was working on. And little cat decided that I was her human. So when we split, I got the little cat. Sleeping is interesting. She likes to sleep on my back and I like to sleep on my back. So sometimes she gets a little run over in the bed. I've got a question for everybody that somebody might be able to help me with, I hope. I'm building my own little note and I can't decide between running five star on it or the PSD. If anybody has any advice or suggestions on which might be better, I'd love to hear them. Back to net control. All right, I know we got people with opinions on this. I'm gonna go ahead and throw it out there.

So, maybe they're just thinking about it and they'll come around. That would have been a good one to call for that, but he's gone. But for now, we'll go over to Mike, WA6ABC, and see if he's still with us. So, Mike, go ahead. This is WA6ABC. I have no experience really. When All-Star had a way of using it over the net, I used All-Star, but I've been so out of the technical side of ham radio for a long time. I was originally licensed in the 1970s and just have not kept up on the current trends. So, I just use Echo Link these days. Just my iPhone and Echo Link. Happier than a pig where it's supposed to be and don't really do much on the technical side. I thought Darrell might know about some of that stuff if he's around. Thank you for the second check-in.

And yeah, I'm happy with my Echo Link and my phone. You know, when I was getting into radios and everything else, P-Star, DMR, Fusion, you know, you had a radio for each one, you had the hotspot, and it just seemed like you just didn't know where to go. It's like, well, do I go to D-Star, go to DMR? Do I want to go on Fusion? Do I want to go on Echo Link? And it just became a lot of decision making. And then once I took most of the radios out of the truck, and now all I have is the phone and Echo Link, I'm much more calm and much more focused, and I actually get on the air more often than when I had everything else, and I just didn't know where I wanted to go. So happy, happy. And we've got one more person on the list, but he might be out for a walk. So we're going to find out. Steve, have you been able to do here CW while you've been traveling, or have you just been enjoying the time with your life? And enjoying, I guess, because you just bought a house, so you've had some stress there, I'm sure. Buying a house is always fun and stressful at the same time. But are you still there, Steve? Yeah, this is N0BF. I'm here, so should I continue here where the comment's over? Yeah, please go ahead. I know you're going to go out with a walk, and I didn't know if you were back for your walk or not. So go ahead. OK, Bill. This is N0BF, and I did get back from the walk. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. I'm here. And I did get back from the walk. We just got back. So it was a short walk. But we're here near an airport. We're between the train station and the airport in a hotel, a courtyard, Marriott. And it's very convenient. We are only a couple minutes away from the airport. We can just walk over and drop our car off, walk back. And then I could actually walk two miles to the train station, but we have all the luggage. Anyway, so yeah, it's stressful a little bit more to my wife. Oh, it's her decision. She came from this area. She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. So anyway, we were up for a walk over there. And she said there was a house for sale. And I guess she's feeling the need to return home. Because she said, well, let's buy that house. So I said, OK. I'm game. Anyway, so that's what we're doing. I don't know, kind of interesting. I can move on to dying pretty easily. And I've done that before. So you can see where it goes. Boy, I bought a lot of ham here recently. I'm about to get rid of that. That 7760 is really, really heavy. I did operate that this morning. And I did a little bit of Morse code. But it's been rough on the band. A lot of lightning this morning. I did, a guy in Texas could not hear me well enough. But he did hear me. And I didn't have any QSOs to speak of this morning. A few people could hear me, but not enough to talk much. Anyway, I did that. I also got on 160 meters. And I have tremendous capabilities at the house. Anyway, that's going to be all gone. Start all over again in a tiny little cottage in Bay Village, Ohio. Anyway, that's the story there. So I can't think of what else to say, except I'll be on the list, I guess. Because you said she's not done yet. So anyway, back over to you there, Bill. And yeah, keep me on the list. I'll see what's going on here. And if I didn't answer something, I'll be glad to answer it. This ends your OPM. Nope, you're good. As far as I know, you're not on All Star or have a node set up for All Star. And that was the question. A fan up there in Canada was setting up an All Star node and was curious about the operating system. So we'll not worry you over that. And we will check with our other pool base. Because I know there's people out there. Some days aren't the best day to ask that question, because we don't have the whole crew out here. But appreciate you being in here. And we'll keep you on the list. And if there's another question, we'll get to you. But we are at the bottom of the list.

I use PiStar quite a bit and I'm used to it so I just stay with PiStar. You know, there's a little bit of a learning curve on both of them for setup, but once you get it down you're fine. So that's what you're looking at is just graphical interface. What do you prefer? Get on YouTube and I'm sure that they have a few videos out there where you can see the differences are. But yeah, that's it as far as I know. Back to that control.

And uh, uh, Ligaloo and I did uh radio communication for it for years but we haven't done it since before COVID. So I might turn on a local repeater and see if they're still using ham radio for it or they're going to cell phones like a lot of other people have for stuff.

Well, we're going back to the top of the list. Kevin, V83, KKY, if you're still out there, you're up. And I know a few. This is repeated. Well, first of all, we'll give San Demel as a little, a little, a little job there, a little joke. And let's see. I have no idea. I'm thinking that I'm just kind of lazy and having trouble waking up. So how about making a mission in the afternoon? Maybe I'll go to the two-headed dog or something, grab some of those messy nachos or something like that. I guess the fish and chips place is closed. Maybe stop by one of the places and get some sugar cubes for my Tim Horton's coffee. And yeah, what is it? British style fish and chips isn't open on Sunday. So yeah, two-headed dog sounds good. They have really good nachos. I might get something for later and then for later. So yeah, I'm motivated to leave the house and do something a little later. That always turns out handy. And let's see, 10 minutes after 9, I quite a really sharp calculator. So I'm guessing I should be here when you sign out. And I can sign out with you. So yeah, everything's right with the world. And then maybe noonish, one-ish, I'll probably step out. And so my dad, he says wait till he gets home first. And so such as it is, I don't think he realizes people nowadays don't wait for you to be out when they break into your house. They do it right in front of you. So then in a little ways being unfair, he puts me to take the rap for it. So I don't know. I guess I'm superhuman. Anyways, OK, we'll figure that out. Let's pass it back to us super next to the A3CKY. Gavin, you're going to beat the rap, I tell you. You're going to beat it. So yeah, when you're the only one left, you get left with all the blame. No one to split it with. But George, thank you for helping out George with the question there. I think somebody has the answer. And it seems like you're coming through on an Echo Link, I think an all-star Echo Link. I think you're going to get a note there. I figured you might have one. So I'm surprised Darryl didn't speak up. He might have been distracted, or he might have been out getting his shot. But it's over to you, George. If you got a question, I was just trying to wreck my brain, trying to think of another question to keep people's interest active and alive. But for now, it's over to you. Yeah, yeah, I appreciate that. I've been messing with the digital side for like 10 years. And I'm still out to lunch on the all-star side. You know, I have the note already, and I'm learning a little bit, a little bit. It's most definitely a more complicated system than it would be for, let's say, Fusion or D-Star. Not so as complicated as if it was DMR. But I read an article the other day from another ham talking about Fusion. And that's my go-to. I like Fusion quite a bit. But Yizu is kind of moving away from Fusion in certain ways. Like, for instance, they used to have very low-cost repeaters. You could buy one for roughly about $500 or $600 if you were a club. And now they've discounted that program, and they haven't come up with a new price for the repeaters, but they're speculating over $2,000 for the repeaters. And then they've come out, and they've dropped almost all the radios when it comes to Fusion, except for that 500 series that they have out and then the FT-5 and the FT-70. But everything else that they come out with is analog, you know. And so people are questioning if Fusion's kind of giving up on things. Let it drop for a second. The most popular one right now for digital communication is DMR. By far, it's growing faster than anything else. But if you're interested on the digital side, you know, I recommend more than anything else and see what everybody else is using in your neck of the woods. Here in the Kansas City area, it's most definitely Fusion. And D-Star and DMR, P-25, all that is just nonexistent. They say they have some repeaters here, but they're not operational. Whereas you go somewhere else in the country, it might be D-Star that's the most popular thing. So I'd recommend loading up your node for D with D-Star, you know, and also having a D-Star radio. So I wish, to be honest with you, that all radios did everything. You can do the digital modes, or you can do the analog side, or you can do all the, what do you call them, my mic's going blank now, but it's just not, you know, whatever radio you buy is going to be the radio of the, you know, D-Stars, and that's what you're going to use is D-Star, unless you have a node where you can cross-band over from D-Star to, you know, Fusion or something like that. It just, we need to get more, you know, uniformity in these modes. I think DMR is probably going to win out more than anything else at the end, but we'll have to wait and see. One more reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T06:20:24+00:00","id":15750,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15749,"text":" I had written down some questions to ask this morning because I was thinking I was going to need the actual net controller.

I mean, would you go back to the days of World War II and listen in on all the transmissions that were coming out all over the world on HF? You know, listen to the Germans, the Japanese, the Americans try to figure out things. Or would you go all the way back to when the first radio was used on HF and transmitted over the pond?

This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Well, my Apple Watch says that she can't get the answer to the Apple Watch because I turned my wrist up when I called for Darrell and she thought I was talking to her. But we can't get the answer to that either because I don't hear him out there. So I'll go over to Josh, KJ5IRQ, you're up. Did you see, they called me, Bill. I was out of the room for a minute.

And now I know what for you, TJ, fam, I okay. Did I miss around? I feel asleep. I just woke up, I woke up like a rat and George was talking about his crush. I don't know if I missed around or I don't know, I feel weird because I don't know, everyone felt like asleep, but I did today. You know, if I had to pick a time, I would pick 1907 and all else. Only because last night after I missed around I was down and working on Hammy, his little buddy. I wanted to try some more along my style and stuff. So I got on TryGPT and if you don't know, TryGPT has a function called deep search. You can put down a topic or a prompt and give it the tool to deep search. I'm sorry, I told you I just woke up. I had to give you the option to deep search as a tool and then they get really deep reports. So I gave it a pretty big task last night. I hope I didn't, maybe the day. But I had it researched and pulled historical photos and first hand I read the accounts of what downtown Mineral Wells looked like back around 1900 to 1910. And it's for a huge report, lots of pictures. And just for fun, before I decided to go to bed last night, I had it just real quickly worked with it and came up with just a real quick sentiment viewpoint. And how did craft I first press review what downtown Mineral Wells would have looked like in a realistic outfit, meaning like a movie. Or as if you were actually there looking around. Man, these videos are only eight seconds long. I mean, you don't get very long. You can't slice them together. I don't know how yet. I have to learn that because that's the only way you're gonna get longer videos of Amy. Anyhow, yeah, I think I picked that this morning just because that's what I chose last night to start with. I'm hoping to do this, maybe. And I mean, you know, these are the big towns. They've done Rome or London. I'm sure you can find that quick and easy. But I thought it would be real fascinating to get a first hand look, almost, sort of kind of time travel back in town to see what my town looked like back when my great-great-great grandfather was alive. Anyhow, just denoted me, I suppose. So there's your answer. And I'm really wondering if I missed in time jumps myself, chat is around. Uh-huh, KJ, bye-bye, if you'd like to like the tour. Yeah, you missed the one around, but that's, we figured you got tied up with something. A fan man is out there, and he calls his dudes and says, hey, I'm here to help you. So, but no worries. We got you in here on the third round, and everything is good. But now, we're going to KN4, LBF. If you want to answer the question, it's if you time travel with a ham radio, what time would you like to go to to listen to what was going on? If you got something else, you can go ahead and talk about that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T06:45:13+00:00","id":15753,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15752,"text":" Alright, I'm not hearing D, but I was reminded that I forgot Daryl, so I apologize. We'll cap Daryl and then we'll go back to D. So, uh, you know when you're kidding me. Go ahead. So you said the question was if you could go anywhere with ham radio or something? Go over your question again, Bill? I was just putting on some breakfast. Well, don't put it on. Cook it and eat it. Putting it on, that's kind of weird. Um, yeah, no, the question was if you could travel anywhere in time with a ham radio, where would you travel? And, uh, so you could listen to what's going on with you back in the past and listen to ham radio traffic in the past. Or would you go to the future and listen to what ham radio has to offer in the future? Go ahead. Well, I think I can stick around for a few years yet and find out what's going on in the future. But, uh, man, I'd like to go back to ham radio in the, probably the 70s, I'd say. Because everyone was so active back then. And, uh, you know, CB radio even was incredibly active back in the 70s. I wouldn't mind going back and having a listen to what was on the airwaves back then. And that's what I would like to do. But, uh, man, we got a nice day. I'm shafing up here. It's not really warm yet. It's 23 degrees. It's, you know, warm enough. But, um, it doesn't feel hot like outside like it did yesterday. But, um, what was I going to say? Oh, Josh mentioned the, uh, the deep search research. I was doing that on Gemini last night as well. But I had it researched myself. And it was a very long report, but it didn't give me much information. It told me how I wasn't listed in like a whole bunch of places that I had searched. And I thought maybe, you know, it should leave that stuff out. The things that I, were things where I wasn't mentioned. All I really found was my social media profiles, a little bit of my family tree, listed a bunch of my relatives, found some obituaries with people with my last name. Uh, but that was it. Never really found, uh, you know, anything about drop-in or ham radio or any of that stuff. You would have thought it would. Um, you know, pretty much searching the whole internet for, you know, your name or whatever. Um, so I thought it was pretty cool. But I didn't realize you could ask it to show you pictures of like your town back in the day. I wonder how many photos, archive photos there are of, uh, old St. John's. Um, because I'd like to check that out myself now that you got me thinking about it. I mean, I've seen some pictures, you know, back in the day, but not a whole big lot of them. And I'd love to see some, you know, uh, early 1920s Newfoundland or something or early 1900s Newfoundland. Because I bet things were quite different, uh, back then. I mean, back in the 1800s, back in 1891, um, St. John's almost burned to the ground. Um, it was a lot smaller over town. Let me reset. This is repeater station Kilo, Kilo, St. John's was a lot smaller over town, uh, back in 1891. And the majority of it, uh, burned to the ground, uh, for a big fire. It was, uh, CLV Armory fire, the downtown fire, the great fire. That's what they called it. I don't know what was so great about it, you know, if everything burned to the ground. But I know they mean great as in a reference of size. But, man, all the buildings were of course made of wood, you know, back then. And all connected together, like, you know, like big strings of buildings and houses and stuff. So you can imagine where those caught fire, the whole thing was going up like a tinder box. And that's exactly what happened. It, uh, was a little out of hand, I guess. And then 100 years later, exactly 100 years later, the downtown area caught fire again in, uh, 1991. And, uh, a bunch of buildings burned, um, in the downtown area that year too. But they weren't all connected together anymore and a lot of them were made of concrete. So the damage was mixed. But I know from all reports from the great fire of 1891, um, it was rough. You know, a lot of people were left homeless, a lot of businesses were burned down. And, uh, it was just a catastrophe. And, you know, firefighting equipment and stuff back then was a lot less than what they had in the fire of 1991. Uh, that was the CLB Armory fire at Churchlands Brigade. Um, they had a propane leak, I think is what they, let me reset again. I think it was what caused that one. Um, and once the propane tanks blew up, it was, uh, there was no stopping the fire. And I can't remember how many businesses got burned. It was like maybe 10 or 11 businesses up and down, uh, two sides of the street. So, yeah, it was a pretty bad fire. I'm going to do a deep search now on, uh, the history of St. John's back around the turn of the last century and see what it comes up with. Thanks for the idea on that one, Josh. And I'm going to tell it to include all archived photos, or any relevant archived photos that it can find. So, um, back over here, Bill. And I'll be here via one of you, Casey. All right, very good. Yep, didn't think about doing that, but it's given me some ideas for myself. So I'm going to have to check that out. So, thank you. Thanks, Josh. And, uh, with that, we will try for Dee again, see if she's still here. Uh, KN4LBF from N9OFU, if you're still here, it's your turn. This is KN4LBF. This is Dee. Yeah, I want to be here for the rest of the week. Um, I'm out for the week. I have to stay home. And, um, that's an interesting question, but I don't, um, I would want to go into the future, but not in, in, so I would say this, don't beat me up now. I would rather go into the future of South Korean technology because they have a cutting edge infrastructure when it comes to that. Yeah, for now, right now they do. Um, right now, and, and, and as an experience, you know, all my walkie talkies and whatever equipment I have, like my Baofeng and my Ye Su, they're not from here. That's for sure. And, um, any other equipment that I look at the tag, it's, it's that it's, you know, it is what it is, but yeah, I would, I would like to go to the future. And, and when it comes to like, um, like, um, Japan has, is well in advance when it comes to robotics. So yeah, I mean, you know, if things get rough or technology gets all messed up, we'll go back to Morse code, I guess. But I don't know, but that's my thing. I like the future. And this is K and four LBS. This is Steve back to the net. All right. So do you would like to go to the future of ham radio and see what's going to be available in the future? You know, if you go in the future and find out what's available, come back, you can make a killing. If you've got the know how to make that, make that in the money. Because, uh, you know, if I went into the future, I probably try to memorize a couple of the, uh, the lotto numbers and, uh, uh, changed my destiny. But, uh, at least she knew who was next. So when I called her, she, she stayed quiet. So I could go back and get her other. So, uh, thank you, D. And we'll catch on the 73 route. So let's go to E3 FBX from N9 of you. Go ahead, Ben. This is E3 FBX. I think I'd want to bounce back to the past and the seventies, eighties. Uh, time I would have liked to have been involved more in radio, um, was a young teen in the middle of nowhere. Didn't have access to much. Um, when I got into the Air Force, we were playing with older equipment. Uh, just being the Canadian military, we run old equipment. Um, I think it would be very interesting to get into the building and, uh, and I think the better time for amateur radio. Um, back to you. Go ahead, big event. And, uh, there's one for the past and, uh, check out and see what's going on. Yeah, that'd be another thing. If I could go back to the past and, and talk to myself, uh, when I was a kid and say, hey, uh, you're missing out. Get, get in on this ham radio thing. Learn Morse code. Cause this is the time that would be easier, uh, rather than trying to learn it when you're older. Uh, I think I would, uh, go back and, uh, get myself interested and, uh, make it happen. And with that, we're going to go to, uh, W a six ABC. Mike, you're up. And I know if you W a six ABC returning using a headset this time, hopefully it's a clear, I think this one's a good headset and, uh, yeah, I'm going to vote one for the future. I was around during the seventies, uh, during the CB radio craze. In fact, we had a CB radio club here in a Rockaway and a couple of us on the more nerdy side studied for our ham radio exams. And, uh, I got myself on my, my dad bought me a Halicrafters, uh, transceiver with relays that would lock up. So I get locked in transmit mode, have to hit it on the side rather than just spraying the relays, which is what I would do now. But, uh, yeah, that was a fun time. I got two SL cards from all over the world. Talk to people in Russia and just the thought of talking to somebody in Russia from, uh, from my bedroom as a kid was, uh, was amazing. But, um, I did all that. So, um, going to the future would be fine, except I'd have to participate in the future of technology because chances are if I go into the future with a radio that's current, I'm going to be able to do that. Chances are they're going to be using technologies that, um, are not developed yet. So, uh, I'd have to get myself a, a new radio, whatever they're using for communication in the future. And I think it would be fascinating. Yeah, Bill, I understand that, uh, going into the future, if you remember some lottery numbers or even the technology, you can make a killing, but, uh, yeah, you, you, you do that, then you affect the timeline. So the future is not going to be the future anymore. If you've watched all those science fiction things about delving into the past, as soon as you come back, if you use any of that knowledge that you've gotten from the future to affect your present, you're going to change the timeline. So the future won't, won't stay the same. In any case, yeah, I'm going to vote for the future. And I think it would be fascinating. I think it's an age thing too, if you've been around this earth for a while, you don't want to necessarily go back. You want to, you want to head for the future because you're not going to be around for the future. And, uh, you've already been around for the past and it was fun. The seventies and the eighties were fun for CB radio and amateur radio. Send it back to net. I don't know if this is last round or not, Bill. Uh, and I know if you W a six ABC back to net. Nope, not the last round. We'll go one more quick, uh, 73 round, uh, here. Once we get down to the bottom of the list and we're close to the bottom of the list. So, uh, uh, but yeah, uh, I, I was around during the CB stuff. My dad got into, uh, uh, all American react and our neighbor was a big in ham radio and, uh, or at least a CB radio and, uh, American react and things like that. But, uh, definitely, um, good, good times. I just, uh, uh, I didn't get as involved as I could have, and I, uh, um, uh, would like to go back and change that, but all right. Uh, Steve in zero VF, uh, you are up. This is not the final, uh, but if you got something more to add, uh, church."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T06:47:06+00:00","id":15754,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15753,"text":" We'll try to catch him on the 73 round, see if he comes back.

While I was listening to you guys talk, I did bring up Cucamonga. And go back to the 1900s and stuff like that. It's sort of interesting seeing some old buildings.

We'll get you back on the list. You missed the last score run, so go ahead and take a turn now. The question was about the future. All I got was the future. The question was if you could go back, or time travel, and you had a ham radio, where would you go with that ham radio to listen in to what was going on? Would you go back in the past and listen in to radio communications from maybe World War II or something like that? Or would you go into the future and listen to radio communications in the future? That was the question. I'd go into the future and listen to communications. And then I'd go back in the past and listen to Mark Coney over at Signal Hill in Newfoundland. So there you go. I was at Signal Hill. It was very nice there last year when we went up on the thing. We went up in that thing and saw the station that's set up in the tower there. So there you go. Back to you, Bill. We'll be here until the end. Alright, so from Peter, he would go both the past and the future. Don't be soozy. We got time travel under control. Let's check things out everywhere. Alright, so we're going to go to San Imeo, KV7, PVW. Go ahead."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T06:47:17+00:00","id":15755,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15754,"text":" N0BF, are you still there?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T06:49:29+00:00","id":15756,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15755,"text":" Yeah, I guess I want to start, 1947 was my first contact with ham radio. My cousin in Southern California was a ham, he was probably a teenager. I was only five years old, but I remember going out on the street, we had a big black truck park, and we went up these little steps, kind of like a camper, and there was always big black boxes in there. And he was a ham radio operator. My brother, who was in the Navy down in San Diego, he visited my, we have a picture of him with an antenna laid out on the ground, so we were aware of it. I think he may have called my dad one time, by relay one time. Anyway, I would probably go back to the 50s and early 60s in time to see what was going on. The cars were really cool back then. Of course, when you traveled, you used to try to see if you could name the cars that were going by. Unfortunately, they've all gone to a kind of generic cars now, they all look alike, kind of. So those days are gone. But I enjoyed the 50s. They even had trolleys here in Portland area that I rode in the late 40s until we moved. But I guess the gasoline companies wanted to get rid of the trolleys, so they could sell more gasoline. They just, they run those trolleys off on a siding and just burned them. Unbelievable. But fortunately a few people like San Francisco, they kept their trolleys and, uh, uh, Norils, I guess, they have trolleys. So, it's kind of cool. Uh, yeah, I was, uh, I was at CB in the 60s. A friend of mine had one of them, we got one and then we kind of got out of it. And then in the 70s, everybody at work had CBs, so I got back into it. I even had a call sign. Uh, so, but then when ham came along, or got a chance to get into the ham, uh, uh, I got rid of the CBs. So anyway, came to sell the PBW. Back to them. Alright. Yep. Another room for the past. And, uh, uh, yep, trolleys are fun. A little blast from the past. And, uh, but, like everything, uh, we've, things progress. We move into the future. And, uh, but it's always nice to, uh, have some of the past there and in certain places to remember. Alright, we're at the bottom of the list. We're going to make one more call for check-ins and we're going to go back up to the top list for the 73 round. We will be disconnecting, uh, Michigan here shortly, so, uh, we don't have to worry about going over into the, uh, worldwide conference, uh, worldwide friendship net. And then after that we'll re-hook up. So, uh, if you'd like to come out and get, uh, an obvious 73 round for, uh, the call up on the net here, uh, please come down with a call signing your name.

I'd like to play the horse myself once, but like to where it's a sure shot bet. And uh, and then just collect big. And then there we go, right? So, I'd like to at least do that. To where I can actually profit from the past. Alright, well hey, take care, I had a lot of fun today. I made no promises for this week, I don't know. Uh, I'll come on in the afternoon and call, and no one will answer. You see how that goes. Well wait a minute, that's not true, last week Darryl answered a few times.

Well, I would probably go back to the 40s when they used HF for news broadcasts, because I thought that that was interesting, right?

I thought that was interesting as hell, because probably by the time I started growing up in the 70s, I think they phased a lot of that out.

And we'll catch you for the 73 round KB0MAI in Nynoipu. Go ahead. Yeah, no problem. You know, you should try to do it more often. It's the first time I've ever heard you as a neck-to-toiler and you did a fine job. So there you go. And I know it's kind of hard when you're driving a truck and do neck control. But you know, what the hell? Let's throw caution into the wind and safety out the door. I hope. Anyhow, I hope everybody has a wonderful weekend. I don't know who's going to have it next Sunday, but it won't be me. So anyhow, you all have a wonderful weekend, or a wonderful weekend, what's luck of it.

And keep the tire on the ground and the bugs off your glass. All right, V01UKZ N9OFU. Over to you. I'll take you, Bill. And hope everybody has an awesome Sunday. Man, the weekend just flew. Been watching a little bit of coverage of the Canada games over the weekend. And speaking of which, dad is gone again. My uncle owns a transit company, buses, taxis, coaches, that type of thing. And so a lot of their buses have been chartered for the Canada games. Bringing athletes back and forth to events, bringing people to and from the audience members, to and from the various venues and stuff. And he's been quite busy. He was working for 12 hours yesterday. Getting home at 10 o'clock last night. And now he's off at it again today. So I had a fair thing to be doing most of the weekend. All the games are going on. So we're for Newfoundland to host Canada games. I can't remember if we did before. And if we did, when it was. But we're hosting it this year. And they built a few new facilities in the city as a result. One of them is this, let me reset. One of them is this downhill mountain bike park. With all kinds of jumps and ramps and step ups and stuff like that down through the woods in an area town called Pippi Park. It made a cool mountain bike track or area over there. And then they're going to keep and leave it open to the public after the games is over. So that's cool. That's something we never had here before. Not something I would try because it's just crazy. I mean, I don't want to take a 20 foot jump or 50 foot jump on a mountain bike. I just don't trust the mountain bike. Well, my heavy ass on top of it making a jump like that. But these guys that are into it, man, they do it. And they're extreme. I've got a couple of downhill mountain bike games, Otter's Republic is one. I mean, some of the jumps are just absolute insanity. If you don't land them just so, you're going to buckle the wheels on your bike and buckle your spokes. And oh, man. But for those that can do it. Anyway, Bill, thanks for doing the next one, man. Really enjoyed it. Look forward to when you get to be able to do it. Bill's done it a few times, George. Doesn't get a whole lot of opportunity to do it. But when he does, it's always a good time. So any time you're able, Bill. Other than that, everybody have a great day. Stick around for the worldwide friendship net, which will be coming up next. We'll be a few minutes into it. But that's usually how it goes. 73, everybody. Have a great day. Catch you out here tomorrow with Gray. KC2PKG at the home. This is V01, UPC. Thank you, Bill. Yep. And you can go to Do Drop In Facebook page. And you can go to Discord, Do Drop In, and get those questions. You should also be able to get on to the dodropin.info website and get those questions in the net so you can figure out what you might want to answer on those. But with that, we'll go to KC2PKG.

KJ5, IRQ. But hey, I walked into, during a closet remodel. See what happens when I wake up? I woke up, sit down in there, my life goes, hey, that's been verve. It's all verve. I wanna change closet into a gaming center. So my grandkids have a closet. That's their space in our house to keep their toys and coloring books. You know, whatever grandkids always have. My grandkids get a lot of stuff for them. Anyhow, he's been playing Minecraft a lot more lately. And that's great. He is, it helps eye-to-eye coordination. Both of our studies are showing that surgeons, and I'll try to find the source, but this is a true, true, true, true thing. Surgeons who play video games are 27% faster, I think, than the surgeons who don't use, who don't play video games. And 37% more make less mistakes. I may have the numbers messed up, but I'll have to find that. Those are the generalities, okay? So there is some arguments we had that let children start on developmental video games at a young age because, let's face it, life is a video game now.

I mean, technology is growing at such an astounding rate. Forget how fast they think technology's duplicating itself, but it's faster than we ever expected as a species. If you watch the raw files, W-H-Y, raw files on YouTube, he has some interesting thoughts about why technology's like that, like we're getting help from alien species, or possibly, you know, we had some time travel, I guess, hey, I'm plugging it, but the YouTube channel, if you haven't seen the raw files, W-H-Y, F-I-L-E-S, and you're looking at back in time, and being engaged and learning something, I would highly recommend it. It's such a great channel. He does talk about a lot of conspiracies, but he does it in an intelligent manner. He lays it out, hey, this is what the conspiracy is, these are the facts that can be proven, these are the things that, you know, Alpha Dog got out there, had his own, that kinda shows that his story's probably not true. It's really fascinating, it's educational. I feel like the tagline is, something where smart people go to relax, or something like that. Anyhow, I thought some of y'all may enjoy that, the raw files, W-H-Y-F-I-L-E-S, on YouTube, and yeah, Denver 73, back to being a remodeler for my wife, KJ5, I owe you, back to you. All right, well there, Josh. Yep, honey, news to do, keep us busy for sure. And we lost D, she said 73, so we'll go to the VE3FBX, Ben, 73 round, what are your final thoughts? This is VE3FBX, thanks for doing the net, Bill, thanks for everybody's input on my little question. I hope everybody has a great Sunday, 73. All right, thank you, Ben, and we're gonna go ahead and go down to W-A6-A-B-C, Mike, and we're not gonna be able to say Mike from Rockaway Beach anymore, we're gonna have to say Mike from wherever you're going next but Mike, for now, from Rockaway Beach, 73 round.

Very good, 73 to everybody, wishing everybody a blessed Sunday, and everybody stay safe today, everybody stay cool today, and yeah, I don't know, you know, I'm the one who really doesn't know where I'm gonna end up, so we're looking around, we're seeing where we can actually buy a house and stay in it for a little while. But yeah, definitely one of those tougher times for me, so having a net right now is really a good thing, and having a calm net, a calm net, everybody's calm, everybody's just talking about their day, just my preference, that's all. Not too much flaming disagreements and things, and get to hear everybody and them running their calm Sundays, so I'll go back to doing a little work today, and thanks everybody for participating in a net, there is no net if people don't participate. Bill, thanks for taking the helm, you did a fine job as net control, and sending love and blessings to everybody within the sound of my voice, from W-A6-A-B-C, Michael and Rockaway Beach. Well Mike, good luck with the prescriptions for the cats, trying to find the right thing for everybody, and I know you get different cats, you get different reactions, same with dogs, same with people, well not one medicine fits everybody, but hopefully you'll find something that will make everything easier, and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers, and here's to wishing you good luck in finding a good house.

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

The reason the day was picked is 51 years ago yesterday, a Canadian Forces Buffalo aircraft with United Nations markings was shot down over Syria on a routine fight from Ismaili, Egypt to Damascus. All nine aboard were killed. That's, to date, that is the largest single day for loss of peacekeepers in the Canadian Forces. Hopefully that record is never ever broken. And in all, Canada has lost approximately 130 soldiers in peacekeeping missions. So that is the purpose of the memorial service today. And beyond that, not much more to add. And it looks like my coffee's ready, so I'm gonna say stand with me back to net and run to the kitchen and get my coffee.

I have trouble as usual. I'm having to use my computer, which is not working properly. And I think our repeaters shut off because we're moving our clubhouse from one place to another. And the clubhouse has been there since, I think, about 76 or something. And anyway, so I'm having to use the computer. Anyway, let's see. Yesterday, I didn't get to check in because I was counting on being able to do it mobile. But since the computer was down, or the repeater was down, I couldn't do that. So anyway, I did get some work done outside yesterday. I'm building a form for some concrete I got to pour. And that's going to be fun. And there's heat. And it was fun working out there. I had to quit ever so often to come in and cool it out a little bit. It's already 78.6 out there and 73% humidity, sun shining naturally. But here this morning, we're having a picnic for our DARE Club, which is the Dayton Amateur Radio Association Club that puts on the ham invention. And it's going to be located in senior where the ham invention was. So I got to drive out there in a little while. So I'm looking forward to the picnic and eating some good food and seeing the company in the DARE Club. So with that, back to you, Gina. Everybody on it, have a great day. All right, family. We'll take you out to your picnic there with the radio club. And yeah, enjoy your Sunday. And yeah, I just want to let you know that you have inspired me in the past to make some pepper sauce. So I've got some of that going. Today I've got to check it, see how it's fermenting. And I'm excited to try that out. But you've always, in the past, made granule peppers and made your own hot sauces there. So I just wanted to let you know that your inspiration inspired me to try this recipe. So just a little side note there. So enjoy your Sunday again, and enjoy your picnic there. All right, next up, I've got Mel, KB7TVW from KB7GEC. And good morning, Mel. Well, good morning. I guess it's going to be a hot one today. Supposed to be in the upper 90s, 97 or so. Maybe some parts will probably get hotter. I don't know. But we have good. We just had a new air conditioner put in a couple months ago. So we're good. It's working fine unless we lose power. Anyway, bridge fell going on in Portland today. A couple thousand bicycles are going on. We're hanging over a lot of the bridges. We've got eight or nine bridges here in Portland. Most of them are going to be closed so the bicycles can go over them. That's a big deal. We used to do ham radio for them, but before COVID. And I don't know if they're still using hams or not. I'm going to check the local repeaters and see if they're still operating. And let's see. Going to get some garbage out before it gets too hot for tomorrow. And that's about it. Maybe have some breakfast here in a minute. KB7TVW, you're backing up. All right, Ben. Oh, yep. Good to get all those chores done before our heat comes in. We were worried about that. Our Portland Pickles and our baseball team is in the playoffs. And if they didn't win two of the three games in the series, they would be playing tonight. And thankfully, they closed them out last night, 12 to nothing. So didn't have to worry about attending a baseball game and the high heat that we're supposed to have there. So definitely stay cool. Enjoy your breakfast. And good to hear from you there, Mel. All right, next on the list, I've got Daryl, V01UKZ. Good morning. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Give a shot there again. Daryl, V01UKZ from KB7GTC in a minute. Beep. Oh, my apologies, Tina. I went to click on the PTT, and my AI came up instead. So not sure exactly what caused that, but it had its icons all over the screen. So I had to get rid of those and bring down the app and go back to Echo Link. So good morning to you and everybody else on board here. I just wanted to jump in and say hello this morning. I'm glad I got the opportunity. We just finished with the cowabunga net a little while ago, and jumped right over here. So glad to hear you out here this morning. From here on the rock, this is E01UKZ. Make sure you hit that button.

Again, it's the Worldwide Friendship Net. My name is Gina, Katie7GEC. Your host for the day. Surprised my voice is holding out. Like I said, we've been doing the Portland Pickles baseball game playoffs there. And Friday night we traveled down to Salem to root for them as they played against the Marion Berries. And then last night, the Marion Berries came up here to Walker Stadium in Portland and played the second game of that three-game series. So since Portland won both games, we don't have to play that third game in the heat. So tonight, they're going to my friend's house and they're going to grow some chicken and work on our RC cars. I'm building a building, rebuilding an old 90 from the 90s RC car for my brother, making it a drift car. So I've got motor mount that came in from England because it's very specific. And I got new shocks and wheels to put on there and it should be running today. So we'll see how that goes. So trying to stay cool here. So let's see if there's anybody else out here waiting to get in on the Worldwide Friendship Net. Do let me know if you're mobile in a short time. I'll move to the top of the list.

And like I said, we'll go with Joyce there, KC7LRS from KD7GECMNET. Good morning. Good morning there, Gina and everybody on the net. And yeah, Rosie's going to be getting up here pretty quick. I stayed overnight with Ms. Ginn, had a great fun evening. And Joe is busy getting something ready to send back. It was all broken and he had to order. So anyway, kind of a busy morning and a hot one. I don't think we'll go out on the porch this morning and just have some brekkie and get the day started. And so that was quite a close call. It would be a wonderful deal for Bud there and his friends gambling. Wow, that was something. Anyway, Enroy and Sue have continued to have a great time over there. I had a dream last night. It was so vivid. It was over on the coast and I could even smell the air. So I thought, boy, I could have more dreams like that. Anyway, everybody have a great day to day. And back to Gina, KC7LRS. All right, Joyce, always glad to get you in on the net here and hopefully you have a wonderful day. Stay cool there on the porch with your friend Rosie. And hopefully the item that needed to be returned got all sorted out yesterday and get that back in the mail for a refund. So you have a good rest of your Sunday. Glad to get you in with us today. And now we'll go to the top of the list with Mr. Terry, 807MR. Good morning. Good morning from Alpha Alpha Seven Micromio. Joyce, I almost sound like a spirit walker. Experience. Yeah. When I was really young, I was luckily out of it. I did stuff like that because I went places with my mom and dad for some reason. I felt like I had been there before. But anyway, we're going to go get you. We got ourselves all washed off. We washed off a lot of good stuff. I checked on the FTX1F 100 watt and the 5 watt looks like they're going to be a little bit out of my budget. My son will die when he gives me some money. Oh, shame. I shouldn't expect that, should I? Anyway, we got a lot going on here. Looks like we got sunshine coming over the hill. There's sunshine around the trees that I can see through the window. One thing that I keep opening on the window. With that and good to hear everybody out there, this is Alpha Alpha Seven Micromio. Before I start, there it comes. This is the stuttering. I guess it's going to be a singing day this afternoon. Back to the group from Alpha Alpha Seven. I'll take a trip and that leaves a ration. Have a great day. I'll be listening to Alpha Alpha Seven. I'll call me on back. Alright there, Mr. Terry. We're glad to get you in the net here. Do you have a good rest of your Sunday? Always good hearing from you. Next, I've got Pappy in 7RHB from KB7GEC in the net. Good morning. Good morning to you too there, Gina. And everybody else here on the friendship net. So yeah, I just spent the majority of the day yesterday just watching the grandkids. Or the grandkids and their friend, I should say. He cut apart his quad because he bought a bigger engine for it. He needed to weld it all back together. Can he use your weld or grandpa? They say it. I'll be watching you. We got it pretty much all back together again. There's still some areas he wants to fill in and strengthen a little bit. We ran out of wire. Got about another row of wire before we could do anything else. And I said that's on him because he's up my whole row. Probably better than half a pound worth. Anyway, thank goodness it's not too overly expensive. Kid actually, I wasn't sure if he knew what he was doing, but he did all right. So a couple of places I assisted. So, you know, make sure you got it, project. Grandpa, the big grandkid got on it and it didn't break. So yes, it's pretty sturdy. Anyway, that's what I did. Then I went and made a hamburger for dinner and said to heck with it. I was done for the day. So there you go. It looks like it's over. It's going to be a little bit cooler. Nice day out there. So anyway, have a good one everybody. And we'll grab that micro-ban wipe over here. I found some. Now there's no overspray. So we just wipe the mic down with the micro-ban wipe here. 99.9% germ free from the next 24. And seven RSV. Back to that. All right there, Papi. Well, thank you for the clean microphone and those wipes sure are handy. So it sounds like quite the project there. Welding the quad once you got the bigger motor in. But with your supervision it sounds like it got completed mostly. And it held up to the sit on it test. So do have a good rest of your Sunday and thanks for taking time to be with us this morning. All right, next I've got Bill. Bill VA6GRZ from KV7 GEC of the Met. Big morning there, Bill. KV7 GEC VA6GRZ. Good morning, Gina and everybody on the Met. We've got 18 degrees right now. High of 25 and 65 and 77. And cloudy and a little bit of sun. 60% chance of showers and maybe a thunderstorm. But it's been a few days since we've had one. And luckily the grandkids came over yesterday and helped mow the lawn for us. We'd wacked the edges. And a couple of other spots. And I had my physiotherapy appointment. And we're switching to walking with a cane. Although I may keep using my crutches because there's times when my foot is a little bit overworked and painful at times. So I've got to take it easy on it still. I figure next week we'll start walking without the boot. But I don't know. I'm still on the fence about it. I see my surgeon at the end of the month. So there we go. And what else? Not much else going on today. So we did our rooster shopping yesterday. And we went to Ben's Meats. They opened up a new location closer to us. And they got a deli in there as well. We spent almost $90 on just four items yesterday. We even got a... Yeah, we picked up a T-bone steak as well. It's been marinating since yesterday so we're looking forward to cooking that tonight. Probably better than the stuff we normally get at the supermarket. So, anyway. Yeah. Glad your pickles are doing well. I don't know if the Blue Jays beat the LA Dodgers yesterday. So, here we go. 73, everybody. Have yourselves a good day. GED 7, GEC VA 6, GERS. Here in Edmonton, Alberta. Alright there, Bill. Sounds like you're doing well with your physical therapy there. And walking around with your mobility and using the cane there probably a little faster. So hopefully that continues to go well. And enjoy that T-bone there for dinner. Always good hearing from you.

This is Roy, K87WA here in Florence. We're packing up today and heading up to Eneskon for another 14 days. So we'll be over here where it's cool. I picked a good time I guess. I think it's supposed to be like almost 100 a day in Salem and 102 tomorrow, depending on which weather you watch. So anyhow, we're going to enjoy this nice cool coast over here. So that's it, we had a great time here in Florence. Went to the Mose Friday night and last night we had real foot long hot dogs. Our host here, our RV Club host, had to look all around to find actual foot long hot dogs and find the buns that long. But that's what we had along with all the other side dishes. So it's been a great weekend here with the group and now we'll be heading on up to Eneskon. So that's it from Florence, Oregon. 73 Soil and this is K87WA back to net control. Alright there Roy, we'll definitely take advantage of being on the coast during our heat coming up here and enjoy those hot dogs. We took my dog to the baseball game last night, the first time in 10 years I've taken him. He's more deaf than he used to be. Most of the noise didn't bother him at all but he had a hot dog there at the game and yeah got all kinds of attention and pets. But yeah, nothing beats a good hot dog. My friend at the ferry yesterday had a two foot long corn dog there to eat and he was looking forward to it and just crushed it. So sometimes it's a good hot dog there, calls for you, especially in the summer. So drive safe up there to Neskon and enjoy the beach during this heat. Alright, last on this round is Missy, KC7FMW. Good morning. Good morning Al. It will be a better day for me than it's starting. But you know, it should be. But I'm frustrated at the moment. So it's weekends and weekends around here are not good. I used to complain about them at Escalante, they're better at Escalante. At least they know how to help me. My one CNA is really awesome. She's heating up my breakfast now. So that makes me happy. So all is well. Anyway, I hope you guys are having a great day. I'm just going to be hanging out, doing nothing maybe. Oh, I wrote a, there's a song contest going on in a group I belong to. And the theme of the song contest was what will music be like in 2081. And I looked at the, you know, and I'm going, I want to be 105 by 2081, but what the heck. So I wrote a song, but I haven't done anything with it yet. But I'm going to see if I have enough energy to speak something and just see what happens. I'm not going to, probably won't do anything with it, but I might enter the contest with it. We'll see what happens. I don't know. Anyway, 73, K.C. 7FMW, here comes my breakfast. Back to that. All right there, Missy. Sounds like we had great timing on getting you in there. Enjoy your breakfast and have fun writing that song about the 2081 there. It'll be interesting to see how that turns out. All right, with that, I'm at the bottom of the list here. We're listening to the Worldwide Friendship Net. My name's Gina, your host for the day. K.D. 7GEC is my call sign. And I'll take your call sign if you want to join us here.

Thank you for being here on the net and taking it over next week for Barbara because she's going to be out there going up to Europe or something like that for going on a European vacation, law school. Anyway, just getting the day started off and we're just hanging out here and I just got on the net here just a few minutes ago. Just got up a few minutes ago as a matter of fact. So, just a coffee run and up and going and we're going to have a little air drop there that's already heated up in my own cup. Anyway, Jenna, it'd be bad that nobody else wanted to check in right now. I guess they're off and out when people are still asleep or something. So, we've got to wake these people up and get them on the net. So with that, thank you to the net Jenna. Thank you everybody else for all you guys for being here. And let's keep up. As I always say, keep up the good work and keep coming back. I'm sure you're sitting here on that but those are just trying to encourage everybody to get the help keepers' net going. Right, K-7 GEC from K-7 YFE. Back to you and the crew there. Alright there Dale, glad to have you checking in here on the net. Yeah, things kind of slowed down. I saw that yesterday too when I was checking into the net. Kind of slowed down there towards the later half of it. Everybody's busy, like you said, sleeping in. I probably would have been trying to sleep in a bit today myself trying to catch up with sleep after a couple late nights there because those baseball games get you wound up and it takes a while to unwind and get to sleep there. That's alright, today's an easy day. Got grocery shopping and I guess I go barbecue some chicken at my friend's house and just sit on their porch and work on our RC cars. After I did the fair yesterday we watched the Tough Truck Competition which is a timed course that's made to destroy cars and yeah there was some great destruction that happened. A lot of them had to get towed off the field. It's like a one car demolition derby. The best one was totally did a Dukes of Hazzard jump and hit the front end. Folks the right wheel was all the way underneath the driver's side and great cheering. So the guy was safe, came out and got all of us up on our feet clapping and stomping. It's always fun at the fair there with those Tough Trucks in Clark County. But yeah I'm paying for it now. The voice is going, lots of us, those dust and stuff I've inhaled. So do you have a good rest of your day there Dale? Thanks for getting in and have a wonderful rest of your Sunday. And with that I'm going to continue on looking for check-ins here.

If you come to Johnson City and get on 99E and go into Lancaster, I don't know if they're still open, but we used to have a little hot dog stand right there in Lancaster where you turn to go from Lancaster to Monroe. There was a place called the Junkyard Dog. I've got to tell you, the best dog out in the biggest, all big hot dogs I've ever seen. A friend of mine used to call them round stakes. I called him the Junkyard Dog and I paid him $10.50 for a footlong with almost a quart of chili on it. It was cheese on top. Anyway, that thought just drove off the left thing. Back to that, I guess I'm done. I'll take a seven micrometer back to back control. That's a great regular day. 87MR. Alright there, Mr. K.

Alright, next I've got Jim, W-8-8-H-U-B. Good morning. Good morning, Gina. Katie's serving G-E-C-W-A-8-H-U-B. I'm just back from church. We had our after church service, our whole gathering with coffee and good yeast. Anyway, so I got home and I stripped off my long pants and shirt and everything and got into shorts and t-shirts. I'm comfortable again. Anyway, that's pretty much it. Glad I could make it in before you... I thought I might. It's somewhere before the end of the hour I get in. So thank you very much and I'm pleased to get in and talk to you. Everything's fine here. I just took the red ribbon off my... I guess it was red, yeah. Off my driveway. It got seal coated yesterday. And now I can use my garage again. So that's pretty much it from here. 73, 87G-E-C-W-A-8-H-U-B. Alright there, Jim. Well, glad that your driveway's been maintained and you're back to being able to get up there to the garage. Glad to have you in. I made it in after church there. Always good to hear you, Jim. And do have a good rest of your Sunday there and your comfy shorts and t-shirts. Always good. Alright, next I've got Hunter, KK7NQN from KD7GECMS. Good morning. Well, good morning. This is Hunter, KK7NQN. I'm ready to launch a pretty ambitious project here. I started almost exactly a month ago now on what I call the KK7NQN project. Just because, well, it's easy to call it. And that's basically a logger that runs on my all-star node here and transcribes audio and logs the call plans as seen. If anyone's curious to see that, that's at KK7NQN.net, or you can look it up on my QRC page. Anyways, I finally got that working to where it's usable. And now I want to dive head first into another project that I'm calling the LSN, which is Logging Service Node. That hopefully will allow net controls or other HAMs to connect to it, either across the web or across all-star or whatever other way I add. And allow them to get their transcripts back without having to do code or run their own server or anything like that. The whole idea behind this is to be of service to the HAM community. Even though I've ran into the issue, some people find it kind of controversial whether they want it to be actually transcribed into text. Which, by the way, if you do, feel free to contact me. I love talking to people about how they see this project because this was just a thing that came up in my mind about a month ago. And I just decided to start throwing code down to see what I could do. And yeah, it's been a fun little project, but getting ready to move into stage two, I guess. Anyways, KK7NQN, back to net control. Alright there, Hunter. It sounds like you got some great skills with all that programming to figure that stuff out. It sounds like a wonderful project. And I'm sure there's plenty of folks that would love to use that and find value in what you're working on there. Congratulations on finding a niche in HAM Radio that you're falling in love with there and having some great exploration. Thanks for joining my net here this Sunday on the Worldwide Friendship Net and have a good rest of your day. And next on the list we've got Joe who helped chasing away those crickets. KK7Z from KD7G. See you in the net. There's a guy right there, Joe. Yeah, boy, that's exactly what I was doing there, Gina. Yesterday was really quiet. You're busier today, but yesterday was really, really quiet. I don't know where everybody was. But you know what's funny is I can multitask really good, you know? And like when the Tour de France was on, I would have that playing in the background and listening to it. And I always have a radio playing music in the background, which I do now, and then listening to the net. And I can hear all three and decipher all three in separate parts of my brain or something. It's all good. But, you know, All Stars full duplex, so you can hear two people at the same time. And I was hearing Jim call in. Of course, I recognized his voice and Hunter came in too on top of him. So I heard both coming in at the same time. But for some reason, I just can't. You can only like focus on one. It's weird. I can never get this thinking about it. I got the KK7, so I'm glad we got him in there. So that was cool. And I was going to give you all an update. You know, I preordered that Blue Eddy power bank, power pack, you know, portable battery. It does AC power. It's got four AC plugs on it. And USB-C and USB-A and serial lighter plug and all that stuff. It's 1800 watts. I put it on ahead of the pre-sales, like $399 for it. And I think regular price like $800. But I've had a chance to use it a little bit now. I'm going to tell you what. I've plugged my coffee maker into it. Microwave oven, toaster oven. I've tried pretty much everything and it's effortlessly, effortlessly, does it effortlessly. I've got my drone battery plugged into it right now, which doesn't, you know, it doesn't pull a lot of power, like 70 watts or something. It says I have like 80 hours of power left on it. So I pretty much have unlimited power with the drone and cameras on and out and about. So yeah, really impressed with that. The second one I got, the first one I got is a much, much smaller one. I think it's 600 watts, 6800 watts, something like that. But yeah, if you're ever out camping, I'm sure, I know with the camping you did, you probably had something like that, Gina. If not that, I'm probably a gas generator. But yeah, nice stuff. I don't have to worry about putting gas or everything. I got some solar panels for it. And there you go. So anyway, there's a few crickets for you. Show them what it's like. It's a PK-7Z. Thank you. All right, there we go. I'm glad that that battery's working out. It sounds like putting it through a very good test there. Those microwaves can be tricky on the running off of battery power. So I'm glad that that is working well for you and giving you all the mobile power that you need. And yeah, we have a gas generator in our travel trailer, but we also have two 6-volt golf cart batteries that we've got running parallel there. Series, I can't remember. And that, yeah, lasts quite a bit for running stuff when we're boondocking off the power grid. So always good to have other options, especially as those that use like a CPAP or something and travel or find themselves out of power. Something like that to have would be really good. So thanks for taking time to recheck in there and share that and again, chase away those crickets. So we've got a little bit over five minutes left here in an hour. So let's see if we can get a few more folks in and close it down for our Sunday. So if you've been waiting to check in, this is it. I'll say our last call because it's getting really quiet there. So last round here for the Worldwide Friendship Net. Please come with your call signs. Victor Victor Martin Tulsa. The one W.A.N. Victor Echo One Whiskey in November. Kilo Romeo for Delta Victor Tango Kilo Romeo for Delta Victor Tango Sebastian in North Carolina. VA6GRZ for recheck."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T08:05:53+00:00","id":15775,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15774,"text":" Alright, yeah I got a few here.

I got Peter, VE1WIN, Sebastian, KR4, I hope I wrote that right, DVT, and Bill VA6GRZ there to finish our round. So we'll go there at the top with Mark in Tulsa. If you can give me your call sign it's your turn on the net. Sure thing. It's Kilo, Juliet 5, Juliet, Victor, Victor, uh, KK5, JVD, um, you just copy that? This is repeater station Kilo, Kilo, Kilo, KV, KJ5, KJ5, JVD, go ahead there Mark. Yeah, I just wanted to check in on this net. I come here periodically from time to time. I'm just here enjoying some coffee inside here in Tulsa. It's about 100 degrees outside there. It's a nice hot one. I just, again, just wanted to say hello to everybody on the net and just say that I'm here and just enjoying today and not much doing much of anything. Just listening to you guys and just wanted to say hello to you. I didn't have anything. Again, just wanted to say hello. Back to you. This is KJ5, JV. Alright there Mark. Well I appreciate you taking the time to check in with us here on the World Wide Friendship Net. Letting us know that you're listening there. And I appreciate you help chasing away those crickets so we can get our full hour here on the air. So, you take care. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday and again thank you for checking in and letting us know that you're listening along there. Alright, up next we've got Peter. V-E-1-W-I-N. Good morning there Peter. Yep, good morning Tina. Good morning y'all. Just wanted to say hello and today is my 74th birthday so we're going out for dinner tonight. So, with that back here's yet, have a great day. Alright there Peter. Well thanks for checking in with us today. Enjoy taking your mom out on birthday and have a wonderful time there treating her. Do you have a good rest of your Sunday? And next on my list I've got Sebastian, KR4, DVT I believe. Man, my writing's gotten worse this hour. So I'm ready for my coffee. Go ahead there Sebastian. Hi, good morning everyone. I think you've got it right. Kilo Romeo Ford, Delta, Victor Tango. Yeah, this is Sebastian from North Carolina. It's rainy here. Forgot to say I'm mobile and I just got to my destination. So I just wanted to say hi to everybody on the net and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Alright there Sebastian. Well you enjoy the rest of your weekend as well. Thank you for taking time to check in with us here on the World Wide Friendship net. Glad to have you. You have a good rest of your Sunday. And we've got Bill here putting the bow on our hour, VA6GRZ. Go ahead there Bill. Hey Gina. It's funny you're even talking about Portland Pickles ball team. Well I just saw a story here on MSN. Big pickles. Apparently it's no longer going to be stocked in some Canadian retailers. Yeah. What else does it say here? It's kind of a big deal. Okay. Which is made only for the Canadian market is no longer on the shelves in some Canadian retailers as a consequence of ongoing trade war between Canada and the US. Well it's a jarring change for many shoppers. It may push customers to buy more home going options and there could be other ripple effects that affect Canadian jobs and businesses. Yeah so I'd go on but oh yeah several Safeway grocery stores here in Edmonton. The sign on the shelf reads Big Pickles are currently unavailable as unfortunate impact of tariffs. Yeah well guess what? We get the no name brand because they're a lot cheaper and they taste just as good. Especially if you get ones, I usually eat the baby gills. The garlic, they usually put too much garlic in them so I probably stay away from that one as well. Anyway I thought I'd want to share that with anybody. I wonder if that's the same case for Rosie and Peter. VG4YYL and VG1WIN. So there we go. Alrighty. Back to you. I wonder if you can have any more. Check ins. Not chickens. Check ins. Back to you GNAC, GDC7, GDC of the A6GRZ. Alright there Bill. We have the unfortunate side effects of those tariffs. They're hopefully about somebody's favorite pickle brand. They're stocking up before the shelves get too empty. Well they can still find them but yeah pickles are very important. I have a whole shelf dedicated in my refrigerator to pickles and pickled items. Sometimes I just make off pickled charcuterie board there. Yeah love pickle stuff. Pickle baseball team, they have everything I want when I show up to the game. Lots of pickles. Thanks for that there Bill. And thanks for chasing away those crickets. I'll ask one more time if there's anybody that's been waiting to get in here with the worldwide friendship net before I close it down.

I will be with you just in a second. Uh, I had a lot of first. Oh, yeah, by all means. I love full duplex. Go ahead. Thanks, Chris. I think we're going to have Victor Alpha 7, Cheryl Lima here at Mission Control. And, uh, I just wanted to give a little balloon update. So, Victor Echo 1, Echo Papa, the meal, is flying across eastern Canada this morning. He's about to, uh, he created the V1EP, made his first lap of the world here a couple days ago. Congratulations to Emil and his team at the Comox amateur radio club. And our balloon, the VA7NFR, is currently in the, we believe it's in the high Arctic. We mean high Arctic, we mean the high Arctic. It is way north. It is so far north it ain't getting enough sun on the panels. Um, we haven't heard from him for two or three days, which isn't unusual. But, um, we don't expect it. We'll hear from it again until it comes back down, probably over northern Canada. But, uh, it's slow moving air swirling around. In the polar regions, we believe, last time we heard from it, it was very, very northeastern Siberia. So, that's it here from Mission Control. Happy summer. Beautiful, beautiful day here in southwest British Columbia. Gonna be a warm one. Gonna have a barbecue. 73 to all. This is VA7SL here from Mission Control. Thanks, Scott. Boy, that's exciting stuff. Congratulations to you and to Emil for all the success with the balloons. Um, Scott, do you guys ever hook up with school groups? I mean, I have to, I'm trying to remember back to when I was about 12, and I have to think I would have been fascinated by that stuff back then. Well, last summer we, uh, we launched a, um, a balloon with a, uh, school group, uh, a summer school group in, uh, in southern British Columbia. It was very successful. They were very excited, actually. We were playing how kids are in person, you know. We didn't think they were that interested. And then we left, and we heard they were tracking it every day. They had it live on their screen in their classrooms, and, you know, so. No, we've done it, um, it's just, uh, it's funny though with people ballooning. It's just one of those things that's a tough one, because you got, it's very weather dependent, and you can't really predict anything, right? Like, um, during, especially during the school year when the weather's kind of iffy, right? That's the problem with it, but anyway, yeah, we've done it. VA7SL. Awesome. Well, that's great. Uh, thanks for the update, and, uh, of course, thanks for keeping everything running smoothly here at the Canada Hub. You and, uh, Adrian. And let's go to Emil, uh, VE1EP. Uh, anything to add to Scott's, uh, balloon report? No, not really. Uh, really excited that, uh, it's still, uh, still on the go. Um, for anyone that's interested, you could watch the launch actually on YouTube. The one at Copapa. And then for the specific details on the payload and, uh, and all these parameters, uh, you check my QRZ, and it's all in fine detail there. More, there's more there than I can fully understand, but, uh, that's okay. That's all part of the hobby. And, uh, today we're tracking 238, uh, excuse me, 243 balloons, uh, on my QRZ. So, uh, anyone that's interested, uh, you're more than happy to drop me a line, and, uh, we can even get you to adopt a balloon. And that's where you learn all about, uh, the parameters. Back to net control. Thanks for sharing. One Echo, Pop-Pop, Port of Me. Thanks, Emil. Very cool stuff. Uh, and, uh, boy, I'm surprised there are that many balloons. Neat stuff, and that ties in with today's topic, uh, what's the furthest you've reached in this hobby, uh, distance-wise. Okay, in that group of in-and-out check-ins, we had Whiskey, Juliet 3 Whiskey. Thanks for joining us, and I've been to that part of Pennsylvania. That's lovely. Uh, KJ5, J-O-M, thanks for joining us.

And our question this week, what's the furthest you've reached in this hobby? Longest QSO. Furthest QSO, I mean. Yeah, good afternoon or good morning, over there. FM6XGP, Tony from Gothenburg, Sweden. I found you on the fire side, but now I'm connected directly to Canada hub. I think it's better to go directly to the source instead of jumping a few networks. Yeah, the furthest, maybe on 6 meter, I run a few stations over in Russia. I run 6 meters over here in Sweden. And I don't really know exactly the kilometers for that QSOs, but I almost use 2 meters, 7 centimeters. Of course, not so far. So, but I have heard some meet Europe station on 2 meters and I have had a few meetings with them. I have been good in the propagations, but I almost use those bands and this old star and six things and I think they don't count. If they do, you're over there in Canada and United States are my furthest connections, but I think that don't count. So nice to hear you Chris on this net too. We meet in other nets, but the first time I check in, no, second time I check in to this net. So nice to hear you here. And with you, I'll order the net a nice Sunday then. Back to you Chris. V3 RWJS 660. Thanks Tony. Great signal from Sweden. Thanks to the internet. Yeah, I agree with you. I mean, if you got Antarctic Antarctica on Echo Link or All-Star, it would be neat, but it's just the internet. So I don't know. It's not as exciting as if you do it on HF, but that's just one guy's opinion. Thanks for checking in Tony. You mentioned 2 meters. I've managed to get a few hundred kilometers on FM, so things can happen. Things can get interesting in the summer. And I'll answer my own question. The longest I've gotten on HF, I got a guy in South Africa on 40 meters one night. His station was doing all the work, a full-size yaggy, 130 feet off the ground and legal limit, all that stuff. So he was definitely doing the heavy lifting. But still, South Africa to Canada, to Ontario, Canada on 40 meters SSB was a thrill for me anyway. Thanks Tony. Mike 7, Fox Hotel November.

But there was a contest on a few years back, and I just was browsing around the frequencies casually, just had curiosity, seeing what I could hear. And I think I might have been on 20 metres, and I could hear this station in Argentina just calling CQ contest. And even though I weren't in the contest, I thought I might go back to them, because no one was calling back. They were just calling and calling, I thought, well how am I hearing this guy? And nobody else is. And I just went back to them, I wasn't even in the contest. And, uh, yeah, 5 and 5, which was phenomenal. And just to give you a look at the working conditions, they're very primitive. At that time, an intermediate license holder like myself could only have 50 watts maximum, so I was on 50 watts. And the antenna I got was pretty basic, it's called a J-Pole. So basically it's like an N-Fed long wire. Think of an N-Fed long wire, but it's technically a J-Pole antenna. There's strobing configuration in the garden, nothing special, and I'm in a really densely populated urban area, houses, buildings, everything around me. And Argentina 5 and 5, I've never done that ever again. So there we go. That is my longest DX without any internet link in there. Anyway, have a great evening, thanks for putting the net on, and 731 here at Freestar. And thanks for joining us, Oscar. Well there you go, that's a great example of how when the conditions are just right, you don't need a lot of power or really an amazing setup to go pretty far. Thanks for joining us, that's a great one. And next up, 2E0TKY. Steve, welcome to the TransCanada Net. What's the furthest you've reached in the hobby? This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, north of Quebec November. All-Star N6222, located in Shelton, Washington. 2E0TKY, you're in, can you return? I think it must be the furthest I've actually spoken to, this is a few years back, very in the early days. I think it was probably when I had my Cobra 148, and I was sort of milling around, I heard all the emissions coming in from Australia. And nobody was really going back to him as such, there was one or two kind of bands I could have seen. And I think he was in Brisbane somewhere, and I just got a random call out and basically he heard me. And we made contact and changed lanes and all the rest of it, and then he faded away. So it must have been conditioned I reckon, so yeah, that would have been my August cue for the days, Australia, Brisbane town. That was it really, thanks. Thank you. Yeah, I haven't managed that far on 10 meters yet, but I've certainly had enough fun up there, and on 11. Probably similar to you, I had a radio that did both bands, and this was in the early 1990s, and I had a lot of fun during that sunspot cycle. It seems things were hotter back then. Thanks for joining us, and we're at the bottom of the list.

Another station from Essex. 2E0, EUM returning. If I drop out my battery's about to go but I can quickly dash over to another radio station. Yeah, the furthest I've got was about 8 years ago and I had my foundation license and at that time you're only allowed 10 watts. And so I was playing on 20 meters and I actually got a contact in New Zealand. That was 20 with 10 watts. And that's the furthest I've done. And that was just with a 4 to 9 with a long wire. So yeah, that's my claim to fame as it were. Back to net control from 2E0, EUM. Thanks for that Tom. Another great one. Again, I haven't reached there on 10 meters yet. I have worked New Zealand on 12 meters though. But anyway, another great contact. Thanks for that. And as a foundation level, I'm sure that was probably a thrill at the time. Oscar Hotel 2, Kilo Papa X-Ray, welcome to the net. Victor, Code 3, Romeo Viski, Juliette and the net. Oscar Hotel 2, Lima Papa X-Ray. Little correction for the call sign. Oscar Hotel 2, Lima Papa X-Ray. Operator here is Jukkam, Juliette uniform, Kilo Kilo Alpha. And my QGH is Keouru, central Finland. And I think my furthest gear must be on a HF 10 meter band SSB from Helsinki, Finland to Auckland, New Zealand. If I remember correctly, it was 17,253 kilometers. Back to you Chris. Nice to meet you by the way. Yeah, nice to meet you Juka. I hope I'm saying that right. So looking up here it says Juka, the Finnish guy. That's what comes up on QRZ. Thank you for joining us. Yeah, I'd say 17,000 is very far. Thanks for that. And next on the list to Delta Zero, Papa Echo Yankee, another UK station. Thanks for joining us. What's the furthest you've reached in the hobby? 2D0PY returning. The name here is Gavin. I've been trying to think. So SSB from the Isle of Man where I am. I got South Africa once. And a very big exchange into Thailand over SSB Vois. I don't know if we count FT8, but FT8 I can get pretty much anywhere in the world from where I am. Just on 100 watt which is the maximum my rig can go to. It's a 7300. But then that's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel I guess. Really. So yeah, I think I'll have to say South Africa and I'll say very brief voice into Thailand. And I've got QSL cards for both of those as well which is quite neat. Back to net control from 2D0PY. Thanks Gavin. Thanks for joining us. And yep, FT8. You're the first to mention FT8 but it seems to be the most popular mode on HF these days. And yeah, the weak signal mode certainly, the digital mode certainly helped make it easier. Thanks for joining us. And we're going to move on to Canada going across the country, east to west. Don't worry, we will open it up at the end. So if you're in the US or elsewhere, you can still join us of course. Glad to have you. But let's go to eastern Canada. So the Maritimes, Quebec or Ontario. If you're in that part of Canada and you'd like to join us, please check in. This is the TransCanada net. VE3BZ.

Kevin, I don't think you've, I don't think maybe you've ever missed a trans-Canada net. I think we've both been, both been here from the start. Welcome to the net today, and what's the furthest you've reached? Located in Sheldon, Washington. Well good afternoon, Chris and everyone on the net, and no, I've missed quite a few nets, or a handful anyway. Anyway, Antarctica on just after I got my license, about a year after I got my license in 2014, single sideband on 20 meters, R1 ANT, it's about 11,000 miles, and I did the conversion that was, I don't know, 17,000 something kilometers. So, that's it. Now you mentioned South Africa, it sounds like you worked Bill ZS6 CCY, he's got a huge station down there. I worked him another, he's always on 40 meters almost every night, pretty much, but I've worked him a number of times. Anyway, thanks Chris, back to you, EE3BZ. Yeah, that was the guy, he's got a pretty amazing setup, and I probably had him at about 10 over nine or something. A friend of mine in New York City, who just has a little portable shortwave receiver in his apartment, he's heard him on 40 meters. So, yeah, the guy's got a huge signal. Thanks for joining us, Kevin. And next up, oh, I wanna mention, Vector Echo 3 Romeo Sierra Bravo has just joined us, the Burlington computer. We had a connection issue at the start of the net, that's why we were, that's why I started late. That's where I was connected to first, and for whatever reason, we didn't connect up automatically, but we are now. So, hello to Burlington, Ontario, my home club, and VE3 Golf, Victor Golf, welcome to the net, what's the furthest you've got? Good evening, good afternoon, Chris, this is VE3 Golf, Victor Golf, name is Cam Location, Belleville. This was a doozy, it happened, I guess, shortly after I got my license in 1973. 73 or 74, I worked, ZL2 Bravo Tango, that was his call sign, I still remember it, crystal clear. And it was at 80 meters, 80 meters, and that's where, and so ZL2 BT, and that was at 80 meters. And then shortly afterwards, the local net came on, on TARS, and we had a station from BC call in, and he was like 40 over nine or something like that, so the band that morning was really wide open, so anyway, but that was, that was definitely front on 80 meters, VE3G, VG. Yeah, extraordinary conditions, I've certainly not experienced that yet. Yeah, getting that far on 80, that's really something. Were you running a vertical back then? No, just the bazooka dipole, the supplied to the blind, so yeah. And so we had that set up, and that was even before the tower and the beam and everything else I had up, and the repeater and everything else I had going on, so that was an early installation at the same time, I'll go ahead. Boy, that's really something. All right, thanks, Cam. That's a great one, and another regular here on the TransCanada. I'm at the bottom of my list, do we have anyone else in Atlantic Canada, Quebec, or Ontario for the TransCanada, please check in."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T10:42:23+00:00","id":15812,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15811,"text":" Victor Echo 4 Alpha Alpha Papa!

Why for this be a confirmed contact? Is this working? Is this working? Chris, okay. Yeah, you do have some sort of periodic noise with you. I'm not sure what that is, but, uh, we are able to copy. Yeah, I think it's other side of the show handheld is open. Sorry about that. I can't hear you. You can hear me there, secondly. Of course, it happens now. So, back in the 90s, I used to work SAP, and, uh, I'd say my furthest contact was Oscar 13 at Paraje, 40,000 kilometers away. I've heard that move out, so that would be further, but, um, that would be really my furthest out, but, gee, 40,000 kilometers. To this day, that is the coolest thing I've ever done this hobby, was hearing your signal bounce back off a satellite about a second later. That was fun. And, as far as receiving, I participated in a lot of hamster, but, um, I participated in the 90s. It was a Mars probe. Uh, it was on its way to Mars. It was about 500 million kilometers away from Earth, I believe, something in that range. And they had an experiment for amateurs to see if they could receive it. It was a beacon. And with dual boomers, 17 element, 2 meter, uh, no, sorry, UHF antennas and boomers, actually 33, double 33 element antennas and digital signal processing, they copied the beacon, and you had to send a recording. We didn't have, you know, UHF drives, but we had a recording, a super hard recording, I just had the tape recorded, I don't remember, but, um, we recorded it and sent it back for confirmation to usl. So, uh, that was pretty cool. Um, it was there. Scott, you definitely win for, uh, furthest received signal, absolutely. And, uh, that's a great satellite contact, too, going that far. I mean, I've heard myself come back from the ISS FM repeater when it's overhead, but that's, you know, that's only a few hundred kilometers. That's not 40,000. Uh, great stuff, Scott.

Oh, let me see here now. Well, everybody's kind of mentioned everything already, but I remember back in the 20-some years ago, running a 10-meter mobile, running about 20 watts, and working Japan and Australia and New Zealand and all the islands in the Oceana area and South Africa right at the tip, and all through South America. It was exciting running around with a 10-meter mobile, and a mobile background antenna on the car working 10 meters. FDA, everybody's mentioned it, I'm big into that these days, low power, high power, doesn't matter. I've worked the whole world from Antarctica to Northern Canada, the Greenland and Iceland and Japan and South Korea and Australia and New Zealand, all those areas, all over the place. I haven't worked anything in, I guess, Siberia and all those areas of the world. But on the other side, you know, all of Europe and all of that. So, yeah, fun times. But the 10-meter running around with a mobile was fun back then. I haven't done that since. But, yeah, maybe I should get back into that. And 16-meter mobile, too. It was fun also. Back, I guess late 1999 when the cycle was still hot back then. Thanks for having me. Thanks for doing the net. Great hearing everybody today. We'll be clearing out here. VE-4CA. Thanks. Thanks for your check in, Rob. Yeah, I had a lot of fun on 10 back in those days as well. Very low power and getting big distances. That's about when I got out of the hobby in 1999 or so. And then I got back in around 2018. And I haven't really experienced conditions like I used to back then. Haven't experienced conditions like those quite as many times. Thanks for joining us. And speaking of 10 meters and 6 meters, for those of you who maybe don't have full HF privileges yet, check out our repeater, Victor Echo 3 Mike X-Ray VE3 MMX. They're on QRZ. They have a couple of receivers on 10 meters FM, a couple of receivers on 6 meters FM. And when the band's open, there's lots of DX going through there. They do have All Star and Echo Linked and 2 meters and all the rest. But they have 10 and 6 as well. So one way to hear some DX. And next on the list, Victor Echo 4 Alpha Alpha Papa.

We've got lots of ways of making contact these days. Just to let you know what's going on, the software I use to log the net pulls information from QRZ.com. So I guess your call sign over there on QRZ.com I guess still shows Trevor Page. So you might want to, if you feel like it, you might want to go on QRZ.com and see if you can get that changed.

Right now I've actually set up an all star node. So I'm about 2 kilometers away from that node which is in my home. So if I'm coming in clear that's possibly why. So that might be my longest thumbs. Otherwise I've done repeater hits to Selkirk which is about 15 to 20 kilometers away from my QTH. So yeah, those would be my longest. So not quite the follow up for Victor Echo 4 Charlie Alpha there, but Rob. But no, I've been enjoying the hobby, getting used to things and sort of understanding. So what I do have is some exciting news for the net. My HF radio, because I don't own one as of yet, actually I do now. Just recently the radio is on its way in the careful hands of the Canada Post folks. So I should expect it actually here this week. A couple of folks from Manitoba do know which radio that is. Hopefully getting some antenna set up and starting some HF hits. So really looking forward to that. Again, thanks Chris for hosting the net. Good 73 cent and this is a VE4 Juliet, my papa back to net. Thanks Mark. And hey, congratulations on the new radio. Now you can start experimenting with antennas and all that stuff. And I hope hearing all these other people and some of the places they've contacted. Hope it's given you some ideas and gotten you excited to try things. And your All Star note is sounding fine by the way. That's great, 2 kilometers away. It's working well. Probably most of the time I'm on All Star. I spend a lot of time there. Thanks for joining us. And last on the list, I hope you're still with us, CalVA3 Charlie Delta Victor. Cal in Stony Creek, welcome to the net.

Victor Alpha Six, Romeo Victor. Bob, we've got you on the list. Victor Alpha Seven, November Romeo Charlie. I always think National Research Council. Brendan, we have you on the list. Victor Echo Four, November Oscar Lima Nolan, you are on the list. And Victor Alpha Seven, Mike Oscar Victor. Dragos, you are on the list. Up first, Victor Echo Four Echo Lima Bravo. Jorge, welcome to the net. I'm just using the hobby, enjoying it. I'm looking forward for my... Thank you very much. Thanks Jorge, and congratulations on getting into the hobby. I'm sure you'll have no trouble getting your advanced and so on. But welcome to this hobby and great about that six meter contact with an antenna you built. Thanks for joining us. Victor Alpha Seven, Mike Oscar Victor. Dragos, welcome to the net. Greetings. So I guess the answer to the question at hand, what's the longest contact? Well, I used to be about a kilometer away from Adrian, but at 100 meters and one there, I believed using a Hammett up SDR to feed the frequency up converter and a Hack RF, a one watt ping from 18,000 kilometers away in Madagascar on whisper on 20 meters. But that was when I was at 100 meters of elevation and I recently moved down to 25 meters of elevation and put up a 60 meter and set dipole in a tree and about the best I've gotten with my 7300 and 100 watts is over to Japan in 8,000 kilometers away and Germany, I believe that was about 10,000 kilometers. I think that was also on 20 meters all of those. So Victor Alpha Seven, Mike Oscar Victor, VA7MOV. All right, well those are all great. Especially 60 meters, no one's mentioned that band yet. Yeah, great stuff, especially that whisper contact. It's amazing what we can do with so little power. Thanks for joining us. Last I heard Adrian was putting up a tower. I was wondering if we hear from him today. Victor Echo Four November Oscar Lima Nolan, you're up next. What's the furthest you've managed to reach?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-10T11:20:51+00:00","id":15828,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":15827,"text":" Yeah, good day everybody. The E4 is the only one here in Winnipeg. Uh, myself, I've worked nothing super crazy. I think about the furthest I've worked was, uh, South Africa on 20m phone, running about 70 watts. Um, one of the ones I tend to brag about, uh, last summer, I worked, uh, Kiev, uh, was actually out in Rushing River, near Kenora in Ontario. And, uh, worked Kiev on phone, 20m, running about 3.5 watts. So, uh, yeah, it just kind of proves that it's not the big power you need, it's just the propagation. So, yeah, it's kind of neat to be able to talk that far away, you know, just a little bit of battery. So, that's kind of fun. I guess about the longest distance you'd be able to work on Earth would be yourself. That'd be, uh, I guess right around the globe, so that'd be kind of neat, uh, aside from, like, getting into EME and stuff like that. But, uh, yeah, maybe one day be able to hear myself, that would be kind of neat too. All right, everybody have a great day. From Winnipeg, my name is Owen, E4NOL. Back to neck control. Thanks, Nolan. And, uh, yeah, neat, that's a neat contact there. And, uh, interesting too, talking to someone that's, you know, in the news these days. Um, yeah, we did have someone earlier, uh, who has done that. They heard themselves on 10m. So, it's definitely possible. Thanks for joining us. Uh, next on the list, Victor Alpha 7 November, Romeo Charlie. Uh, Brendan, welcome to the net. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November. National Research Council. And, um, yeah, interesting question. So, yeah, there's actually a f***er who recorded himself while the, uh, Around the World Echo happens. So, yeah, if you Google, uh, Around the World Echo there, uh, there's a fellow Danish commander who actually caught it on video. So, uh, um, so, uh, yeah, on the YouTube video there, you can see the thing. It's very interesting. I did find, uh, the two farthest, uh, uh, stations here that we've reached now. So, I guess, as far as the two-way contact goes, you know, I have, uh, Indonesia a couple times and, uh, Western Australia. That's the furthest, uh, uh, that I have here. And looking at, uh, yeah, the one station here that I have is, uh, 14,941 kilometers, or 9,284.2 miles. Um, and a bearing of 267 degrees west. And then I also was received on FT, uh, a receiving station there in South Africa. And that station is, uh, 16,324.1 kilometers, or 10,143 miles. So, uh, but that wasn't a contact. They just have a, uh, a receiving station there. So, my FT was received. Yeah, well, that still counts, of course. Uh, so some great, great distances there. Yeah, when I first became a ham, we didn't have, uh, we didn't have things like TSK Reporter and, uh, WhisperNet and the Reverse Beacon Network and all that stuff. So, uh, it's, uh, it's a lot easier nowadays to see where you're, where you're reaching. Uh, thanks for joining us today. And last on my list, Victor Alpha 6, Romeo Victor, welcome to the net. Good afternoon. This is, uh, VA6RV, Bob in Edmonton. And, uh, I've been thinking a lot about your, uh, your question. And I'm just doing it from memory, uh, because I, uh, I don't have a log open right now. But, uh, I believe it was Belarus and it was on 40 meters. And I was astounded because, uh, I'd never even come close to that. I have to assume that, uh, his station did all the work, uh, because, uh, because I just have a, uh, a long wire, uh, well, actually, uh, I just got half way. Uh, and, uh, so I was, I was really surprised. I also didn't know about your net. I happened on it today and, uh, uh, really glad I was, uh, was able to find it and get in. Uh, nice topic and I, I appreciate hearing everybody from across the country. VA6RV, PAC 2. Thanks, Bob. Uh, you're our first check-in today from, uh, Alberta. So, uh, you're representing, representing your province there. Um, thanks for joining us. Great, uh, great contact. Uh, it's funny when these things just happen out of the blue and it's a surprise. Um, yeah, this net's here every Sunday starting at 1 p.m. Eastern. And, uh, more information and, uh, a list of all the other nets, uh, are at thecanadahub.ca, thecanadahub.ca. Uh, okay. One thing I want to mention, let me pause. We're talking about distance and propagation and all that. Uh, there's a fun voice net, although they don't call themselves a net. There's a net every day that starts on 17 meters at a certain time and then works its way up through the bands. They go to 15, 12, and 10 if 10 is open. Uh, and how it works is you spot yourself on their website, you type your callsign in, and they call you in. And, uh, you, uh, you give your callsign and they, uh, then it, you see who else on the net, uh, can hear you. So you give your call a couple times and all these people come back to you with signal reports. And in turn you give them signal reports when they put their call in. So, uh, it's a, it's a fun thing, happens every day starting in the afternoon. Uh, that's at hfqso.com, hfqso.com. It's called the HF Activity Group. Uh, I don't always do it, but it's, uh, it's fun just to see where, where you can be heard and do it by voice. Um, okay. Let's open it up. First of all, in Canada, do we have anyone else in Canada or the far north for the TransCanada net? Please check in. Two Echo Zero, Uniform, India Delta. Two Echo Zero, Uniform, India Delta. Okay, I got a few stations there and a whole bunch of partials. Uh, a lot of people, I just got one or two letters. But I did get Two Echo Zero, Uniform, India Delta. I'll be with you in just a moment. Victor Echo 3, Tango, Oscar, Tango, you're also on the list. Victor Echo 5, Romeo, Sierra, Ron, you're on the list.

We have our own equipment, but, uh, we have an apartment called Max. And how that goes, too much all the way around. Back to you. Yeah, that's challenging. Uh, and of course, rules in so many places, about antennas too. Thanks for joining us. Uh, you're breaking up a little too, so I don't know. The internet's, uh, misbehaving a bit today. Thanks for joining us. Hope to hear you again, uh, probably next week. And up next, Victor Echo 5, Romeo, Sierra, Ron, welcome to the net. Beep. You helped me, uh, well, that's, uh, I was just gonna try to maybe look up where the furthest place, but I would say you have to probably be in the Middle East somewhere. Um, or Eastern Africa or something. I don't know what was further, right? In Austria, New Zealand, those places. But, uh, in actual distance, I don't know. But, uh, I'll probably have to do some research on my logbook and stuff. But, uh, yeah, I'm sure I've been pretty close to halfway around the world anyway. I don't think they can get further away than that. But, anyway, um, that's, uh, that's a, a lot of work on the FTE stuff. That's really, don't need a whole lot of power then. So, what else, but mostly with that, I just run 30 watts, I don't have to worry about bringing up my antenna tuner and stuff like that. So, and you don't need that much power after that kind of work. Or probably CW either. But, anyway, um, but I sure enjoy running FTE. Yeah, have a good afternoon there, Chris. Thanks for taking my check in. Oh, and I was gonna mention, I think you missed, I heard him on my end anyway. Um, I heard V5A or J. He was trying to check in too, so you might wanna give him a shout. Um, V5A or J, I don't know. V5A or J, maybe we can give him a call after here. Get to the bottom of your list here. This is Ron, V5RS. Thanks, Ron. Yeah, definitely. Uh, FT8 and the other digital modes have certainly made things easier for lots of folks. And, uh, they're very popular. Thanks for joining us. Uh, I think you're the first person to mention the Middle East, uh, that part of the world. I don't know if the Arabian Nights, Arabian Nights net is still a thing on 20 meters, but when I was a kid, that was a big deal. People used to talk to King Hussein and Jordan and so on. Uh, thanks for checking in. I've gotta keep moving here. Three more people on the list. Uh, Victor Echo 5 Alpha Romeo Juliet. Uh, Art, uh, welcome to the net. Uh, thank you. I didn't know whether I made it in there or not, but otherwise, I'm not. Uh, with a, uh, cooler, muggy day in Saskatoon, and it's still partly cloudy, but there's no rain in the rain yet, so, uh, there you go. Thanks for calling me in there. Have a good day, and I'll talk to you later. V5, you're J, uh, mobile Saskatoon. Part on his end. Thanks, Art. Uh, safe travels, and, uh, yeah, I missed you in the pile up there, but, uh, Ron heard you, so thanks a lot, Ron, for the relay. And Victor Echo 3 Tango Oscar Tango, uh, Peter, you're up next. Welcome to the net. Good afternoon to you and everybody on the net. Um, my, uh, HF rig has only been out of the box for about, uh, two months now, and, uh, I've had quite a few interesting contacts. I guess the farthest one would be New Zealand and Australia. Uh, I did have a brief chat with somebody in Kuwait, uh, Chile, and Moscow, to name a few, and that's competing, uh, against guys with towers and big amps, so 100 watts and a piece of wire, and you can talk around the world. Back to you in the net control. Yeah, absolutely. Well, uh, glad you're enjoying HF and getting started in it and, uh, reaching lots of places, it sounds like. Thanks for joining us.

A40Z, the next 39 net V test session will be the fourth Saturday of August and that will be the 23rd of this month, 1800 hours at Union Springs Baptist Church. Please go to amsteady.org forward slash sessions. To find out how to register, you can put in your zip code and you'll find all the local V test sessions that's all around you and you can register all around there. Because if you're not registered, whatever test session you're going to may not be there if you have a pre-register with a break. I repeat, because there are those that listened that aren't licensed yet or it may be in a while since you've tested and now you're ready to upgrade, you forgot what you need. But regardless of where you test, you will need a picture ID. You will need a good email address. If CC contacts you via that email address, they give you 10 days to respond. If you don't respond, they don't either. You will need an FRN number. And we're a RL test team, so there's a $15 test fee. If you're 18 or older, if you're 12, if you're 17 or under, it's $5 and we'll pick up that $5 fee. Trisage Club and CVC Club, they are both also electronic and they are all affiliated with ARL, so their testing is free. But you do have to register in advance. Check out the image website, lmarc.net. That's the wonderful website. It keeps it updated. It's always, it is the best website I know of. Mac V and Jim, AA4UC. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo. Thank you very much, Mr. Ray. We appreciate that. All star node 6222 located in Shelton, Washington. Let's check with Mr. Emmett, W4EDP. Sorry, making sure that station with the noise couldn't come back in. W4EDP, good evening. Couple of announcements. Number one, following up on what Ray said, y'all go out to the Sunday Night Net web page. Sundaynightnet.org and click on that VE test link, scroll down the page. We got a chart down there. We got test sessions every week of the month. We got a floater. We got one quarterly. That should do everybody, but every now and then we run into something kind of weird and we do want to get people tested and upgraded. So one of those won't work for you. You just use the test. You got to let us know why one of those won't work and what we can do to help you. And we will do our best. The Tri-State Club, TSARC, we test every second Thursday of the month. We are electronic. There's no fee for testing through us. You can go to whiskey4golf.org, w4gta.org. Look under that What's Happening banner and everything you need to know is there. Pre-registration is there. I would consider pre-registration mandatory for any place you go to test so that they can have, so that number one, they're there, and number two, they have the right things to help you out, resources. The other announcement, Ham Shack Hotline, don't forget, Ham Shack Hotline ceases operations the 29th of this month. That's the last Friday of this month. Don't fret. All your phones will keep working. All you got to do is get you an account. We're going to get you a phone call. We're going to get you a phone call. All you got to do is get you an account through either amateur wire or Ham's Over IP. I suggest you get one at both. Reprogram your phone and you're back in business. And we will keep carrying it until the last minute here at Southeast Lincoln LMARC. And as always, we carry Ham's Over IP and amateur wire as well. Back to Tech Control, W4EDP. Thank you, Mr. Emmett. We appreciate that very much. All right. Let's go lastly to Mr. Joe Tainton Whiskey. Well, good evening, everyone. You did hear Mr. Emmett and Mr. Ray both mention the website. That was sundaynightnet.org. I'll tell you what, there's a lot of good information on there, not just the test sessions, but also a huge list. Scroll into it now. It's a couple, three pages worth of every way you can join us on the Sunday Night Net. It's very long. But if you scroll through that, you also got the slow scan portion. It explains kind of what we do. It's got the current poll on there as well as the answer to the previous polls and any bonus or extra pictures that we've ever sent. So a lot of good information there. sundaynightnet.org. Be sure to check it out. Couple of hamfests coming up for the discerning chopper. Huntsville, of course, next weekend. Hamfest.org. If you haven't got tickets, hopefully you've still got a chance, but hamfest.org can put you in touch with those folks. theaters of Lebanon coming up after that, the 23rd of August. smrclub.com for that.

This is going to be, for as long as I've had anything to do with going to Amfest, they invited me to the venue to get my opinion on it. This is going to be wonderful. Fort Georgia, just a couple of miles, less than five miles outside of Chattanooga. Chattanooga doesn't have the venue spots that one would think a big town would have, but it's going to be at the Colonnade in Fort Olathore, Georgia. It's going to be wonderful.

We had 50 come in via digital mode tonight, 16 on all star, 1 DMR, 28 on Echo Link, 1 on Ham's Over IP, 1 on YSF, 1 on Wires X, and 2 via Net Logger AIM check-ins. We had 20 Link Repeaters, now bear in mind these Link Repeaters, these are just the ones in the greater Chattanooga metro area. 12 on the 144920, 1 on the 224200, 1 on the 224360, 1 on the 224920, and 5 on the 443525. 27 on the 146790, 3 relays, and at one point we had 34 folks on the Net Logger AIM window. That was almost tying our record of 36. Since the first of the year we've had 503 unique call signs check-in with us, that was 8 new ones tonight. Making sure the last check-in wasn't a new one. We had 5 countries, Australia, Japan, Netherlands, Trinidad, Tobago, and the US, record there is 8. We had 19 states, record is 26, but tonight we had Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. So that was a total of 101 check-ins tonight. Fax Tech Control, W-48EP. Good deal, thank you very much my friend, I appreciate ya.

It is a lot of fun. What do we do? Why, we send a picture over the airwaves. Uh, a lot like your old modems used to be. Uh, it demodulates on one end and it remodulates on the other. Modem...modulates on the other? Anyway, we send a picture that is a classic concentration puzzle. It's a pictogram, plus sign, there it is, that kind of thing that leads you to think of a word or phrase. When you think you know what the word or phrase is, you email us. You send it to puzzle at sundaynightnet.org. Uh, at that point I will tell you who got it the previous week. So, this week when you send a puzzle, send us an email and I'll tell you next week who got it right. Speaking of last week's puzzle, or next week's, depends on which way you're looking, the answer for last week. Wizard of Oz. Wizard of Oz. Well, who got it? Hey, Tom got it, KF0LNC, Wade got it, M4LRK, Paul got it, GQ5BJ, Matthew got it, KR4FGP, Dennis and June got it, KW4AG, Dad and Deb got it, KI4DQP, Bill got it, KI6WPK, and Kenneth got it, VE3LVG. Now, if we can get it through to Canada, it goes through these, uh, the gates and the digital notes well. So don't think just because you're on a digital note, you can't play along. Also, on the website, sundaynightnet.org, you can see the current puzzle. Uh, shortly after the net, we will update to the puzzle we're about to send, so if you're unable to, by all means, check it out on sundaynightnet.org and send your email from there. I'm going to be sending on Martin 2, Motion Software Auto-Expect, but if you need to send it, send it to Martin 2. Uh, think that's everything, we're running late, so I'm trying to push a little bit. I am going to go ahead and let it drop. About 10 seconds, swap some equipment, and we're the transmission flow scan TV on the sunday night net.
