You're right on the shore of a lake, or a pond, rather. You're out in the woods. There's no one there. The problem is there's no toilets. There's just a fire pit and a place for you to park. There's a lot of bear out there, too. That's another problem. They got an iCampr. It's I with a K, not with a camper. I-K-A-N-P-R. They sold this platform. You put it up in the air, and then you put your tent on top. This way here, the bears can't get you because the bears can't climb up that high.

So she turned on the TV and this was the start of those big Los Angeles fires. So one of our issues when we have our meetings is keep your car full of gas. My sisters aren't big on keeping their car full of gas so she had her car full of gas and she called her boss and said it looks really grim boss, I'm leaving, you should plan to not come back tonight to your multimillion dollar house and she in Los Angeles 100 miles across so she got in the car and started driving before the traffic got big and she drove all the way across Los Angeles to an apartment building owned by one of her aunties and got in there and got settled and got some stuff and food and stuff and watched L.A. Burn. You have probably seen the videos. So now we talk endlessly about how we are going to fix your house. A few years ago we didn't talk about anything like that but now we talk all the time. Go ahead. So I see you have all this every time it gets windy you can have a fire. What was it that set it up in all the fresh water that goes when it rains out and most of California they let all the water just go into the Pacific Ocean. They don't save it and try to channel it for safety reasons or for drinking water. So they are going to try to redo that so hopefully that will fix things up. Yeah, fire. I never thought the woods would burn my entire life. It doesn't make any sense. I got a feeling that somebody is doing it. This doesn't happen by itself. Anyway, I got to get out of here in a minute and take my dog. We are having a nice day here. It is Saturday morning and it is sunny out and that heat wave is gone so maybe that will do things. I don't smell any smoke. I was out there this morning and the air is clean so hopefully those fires are going out. Before you know it, winter is going to be here in another couple of months and there is snow on the ground. The fire thing will be over for the year. Anyway, it is great to talk to you. Enjoy the camping out there and hope you are having fun. I wish I could do something like that. I am stuck here in my condo. I don't drive. I can't drive. I have very bad vision so I am sort of just stuck here. Anyway, you have yourself a good morning.

The net is kind of almost like the pre-net where everyone's just waiting for everyone else to set it off. That's the funny thing. It's like, yeah, because it got to where I was like, if I don't squeeze the key, no one else will. And then I was like, see, what did I tell you? What did I tell you? And so, this morning was kind of one of those. But anyways, yeah, glad to hear you do the net. And that's good that you took the initiative on one of these here. I guess you might have planned it days and weeks before where Kevin knew that he might be absent. So, hey, that works very good. Yeah, I like pretty much filling in and kind of gleaming certain ideas from some net controllers too, right? You know, it kind of helps like some people have certain things to bring to the table. And so, yeah, I like filling in and it brings an interesting mix. So, we were pretty much through the night on Pins and Needles with the news. There's still, I guess, a standstill right now for Air Canada. I was actually even hearing it on the American news last night even. And it was just a matter of people worrying about their flights from, let's say, Sacramento to Toronto. Pretty much call that off. You could probably do the Sacramento to Vancouver routine a lot easier until they settle this whole thing. Because Air Canada is cancelling a lot of flights on account of the lockout that they're still in negotiation of. So, I'm still kind of following it a little bit. Yeah, as far as I know, we're pretty much anchors away for tomorrow. So, that will be the end of your Sunday kind of thing. I'm coming in to do the net sometime tomorrow. But as far as today, it took a while for me to wake up this particular Saturday. It was one of those, it was sort of one of those kind of toss and turn kind of evenings. But I made it. I managed to grab in a few good hours of sleep. So, I guess I should be here. We'll see what people set it off with. Uh... Come on, y'all. Y'all set it off too. Don't just leave it to me.

We have a big barber potluck and everything after the meeting. So we have our stuff that we're preparing for the potluck for tomorrow. So anyway, that's about it from here. I hope everybody has a good weekend and I know you guys needed the rain over there too and I don't know if it stopped over there or not yet. So anyway, 7th trees everybody. This is Jim and Jada, Deer Lake, K7 PDZ. Anybody wondering, Cabara is Kamiak Butte Amateur Repeater Association. I don't know where Kamiak Butte is but kudos for keeping it going over there in eastern Washington. Thank you there Jim. Alright that's the bottom of the list. I'm Ron and R70. In for Teresa, KG7 AII or KG7 CGP Dana who do the Saturday morning usually. I just popped over to Teresa's Q&A page and I realized I took that picture. We hiked up to the top of Little Sai I think it was. There's a picture of Teresa and Dana. That was a while ago. Somebody is going to go look that up now and that's fine. I don't sound at all like Teresa or Dana but my name is Ron and R70. I'm going to be your net host this morning. Let's start a brand new round. Now we're open to anyone from anywhere.

Yeah, I think it's cool that you're telling people to just go to POTA.app to find you, because I think showing people the site, I think it gives people a little more context of what's going on with Parks on Air. So yeah, I saw that you did an activation recently. And yeah, luckily Arizona for me seems to come in pretty well, so I'm sure I'll get you one of these days. But yeah, POTA is interesting because you can really get into this. You probably noticed that people who have been doing it for a while have all these little badges on their POTA profile. And like I recently got, my most recent one was the Eagle's Nest, Award. And what that is, is if I hunt a park more than 100 times, I get this thing called the Eagle's Nest Award. It's part of their repeat offender program. But yeah, they give you all these little things to motivate you to get different, more than just hunting parks, there's like late shift, and early shift, and six meter awards. Anyway, it's a total rabbit hole, so I'm happy for you, but it can also take up a lot of your time. But definitely hope to work you one of these days, and maybe see you sometime when you're in town.

I forgot to ask the station manager if I can go tomorrow. So I'll do that after the net, see if we're doing anything tomorrow, and see whether I can go. I feel like actually it's a good chance I will be able to go. I don't think anything's happening tomorrow. So it would be fun to show up there. It's just fun seeing all the old radios. One of these days, I'll see one at a good price that I could get. I wouldn't mind some kind of wood cabinet kind of tube type job that I could just sit on one of my coffee tables or near one of the things you have on the side of your house to show things. It would be fun to have one of those. So yes, I don't know if I'm going or not yet, but I think the chances are high. So hopefully I'll see you there if you're there. And yeah, that one year I saw you there, we got some goodies, was a lot of fun. Jack, I think, said he was going too. So maybe we'll see him there as well.

I don't even know how long. But yeah, the basic idea is that you have Thanksgiving in November with your immediate family generally and maybe some extended family. But there's lots of other folks that you'd love to be able to spend Thanksgiving with. But you don't because usually you're spending it with the same folks. So why not have Thanksgiving in August when the weather's nice and you can have the picnic tables outside and do a deep-fried turkey outside and have over all the friends and family that you don't normally get to have regular Thanksgiving with. So that's what we're doing. We're going to have deep-fried turkey and mashed potatoes. I think there will be stuffing and usually sweet potatoes or something. I don't know. Yeah, all kinds of good stuff. And then there's usually some absolutely wonderful dessert. And my aunt's house is just beautiful up there. She's got a nice big outdoor kitchen and stuff to get a lot of this stuff done. So it's a good time. And I get to see my cousins and their little kids. There's usually always a cousin that shows up too that I wasn't expecting. So we'll see if we get that this year also. More to report on that later. But anyway, yeah. We're heading out of here in a couple hours to head up that way. So before that we'll get a couple chores done around here. Got to get an appetizer made up. Probably get some exercise for the canine friends so that they're not too bored because they're not coming with us. And yeah. So that's what we got. Thanks for doing it, Kirk. 7-3, everyone.

Every time Thanksgiving starts rolling around, I keep thinking I should do that. And then last year, we just had turkey legs, which, oh man, talk about an easy, no mess turkey dinner. Turkey legs just fit the bill for that. So, sounds like you're going to have a great time today. Enjoy that. Drive safe up there and we'll hope to hear all about it next time you're on the net. Hopefully, I can remember a week's time from now. Let's see here. What is a week's time? Oh yeah, I'll be there.

I definitely feel that will be in my future. There's no doubt I would have to get something like that if I get apartment confined.

You get that perfect signal, you don't have to worry about QSB and QRN and QRM, if I can remember all the acronyms. It's easier to receive, how about that?

Kami here, KJ7RAB. I wish I was out 4x4 but I'm not. What did we do? We went to breakfast and then we went to Stanwood. Was it Stanwood? Stanwood. At the fairgrounds there which are super cute. I've never been there before. There was a little, I don't even know what you call it. It was a great junk hunt. So people set up their little tables and they're selling all their junk. And so we got some junk. I got a whole dog grooming thing for $10 and it has a bunch of different sets of clippers and different clipper attachments. It even has the professional nail grooming thing. Which I'm sure they're going to absolutely love. I say that with as much sarcasm as I can possibly put in there. The last time I tried to cut the Mogwai's nails she gouged my face so deep it didn't heal for a couple of weeks. So we'll see how that goes. And then I just picked up like, I just counted them. Like 14 vintage sewing patterns from Vogue and some other makers from the 60's and the 50's. I'm so excited. I love vintage patterns. And they're not even cut. I don't think they've ever been used before and I got all of them for a whole $2. And poor Robert, he's going to get tired of me talking about that because I'm thrilled to pieces. I got 14 of them for $2. He's shaking his head. And now I think we're heading out to La Conner to go cause some more trouble. It's great to hear you today Kirk.

I thought, I drove by a garage sale not too long ago and I really, really would like to just drop in, but I didn't. I went on my way and oh my goodness, yes, we used to have to wrap my cat up in a blanket. She just did not like the nail trimming. She was not cooperative at all. Thankfully, I've never been scratched. Sounds like you got really gouged, but I know you're tough. You big 4x4 out in the mud and grunge, you can handle it. Hopefully it doesn't happen again, how about that? And enjoy La Conner. I love that snow goose place out there. If I'm out at La Conner, I love stopping there, getting an ice cream as big as my head and watching the airplanes fly over, streaming into, I don't know where they're going, to Whitby or something, but at any rate, do enjoy.

We're, I don't even know what this little town is called. Conway. Conway. You know, not Conway Tweedy, but the town of Conway. And that's where we're sitting right now. I need to get something to drink real quick, so I'm going to run into the show here and get myself a little soda pop. And it was the 2025 Funk and Junk at the Stanwood Camano Island Fairgrounds is what the exact name of the event was. And it was fantastic. I was able to score a Ring, what is it, a Ring Pro floodlight camera, which I think they're normally like a hundred bucks or something like that, a little over a hundred. I think I got it for $30. So I was pretty stoked about that. Hopefully it works and it's not still tied to someone's account. It's the only worry I have. So when I get it powered up, that'll be the true test. But yeah, pretty excited. And yes, snow goose. Oh my goodness. Believe me, friend. It was on my mind. My belly is so full from breakfast still, so I don't think I can stop on the way out, but we will probably stop on the way back. But without a doubt, we will stop. And I always do a kid's cone. They're like a split cone because one scoop of ice cream from that was that place is like, man, that's like a half a gallon of ice cream right there. And you get the full two scooper, that's a full gallon of ice cream on a cone. It's just so, so much. So there's a train coming by, so I'm not to wait for the train before we can continue on our route. But I got to run to the store anyway and get a soda pop. So thanks for doing what you do, my friend. Very much appreciate you. And I hope everyone's having a fantastic day on this nice gray overcast with partially blue skies here in the good old western Washington because it is beautiful. It is comfortable. Well, it's almost 70 degrees, so I'm still sweating here in the car, but it's not like crazy sweat like it's been for the past week. So very welcoming to the rain and happy that we've got some cooling happening, even though it's supposed to ramp back up next week. So oh boy, here we go again.

And it's the Funk and Junk. What a great name there. You know I bet you all you got to do with that Ring Pro is hit the reset button and it's your camera at that point I get. There's some magic and temptation you do to get those things to go. Although I wonder if it's still supported. I heard something about older units being deprecated but mine still works. Last I checked I've got a very original ring from the original Ring guys before it went to, who bought them now is it Google or Amazon bought them but at any rate I still have my doorbell and it's working. And I do enjoy Snow Goose but you know what when I'm out there I'm sorry there are two places I take the full Monte and that's Snow Goose and Tillamook and I have no financial interest in either although I do have a good taste bud interest in both. And yeah I just, oh man it's just so nice to have such a big cone. Last time we went there it started melting on me. It was so warm that it started melting on me but that just made me eat it faster. Anyway let's see here, great day, welcome to rainbow. Yes hopefully it will help my lawn. My lawn is just being punished. I planted some new seeds at the start of this year.

And as we're about to get to the point where you start going up into the hills which is Los Gatos, I think the locals call it Los Gatos. But anyway, we're about a mile from going up the hill and then his tire blows out. And we kind of lost control but then we were able to make it over to the side of the freeway, actually the left side of the freeway to the left of the passing lane. And then of course it turned out he didn't have a spare. That's a whole other story. But the point is we looked at the tire that had blown out. My God, there was no tread on it. You could literally see the fabric or whatever it is underneath where the tread used to be, probably hadn't been for months or years. And so I had a little bit of PTSD for a while thinking that if that had blown like three miles later or between three and 15 miles later as you go up that windy road to Santa Cruz, I probably wouldn't be here today.

Everyone's safe and sound. You know, sometimes I feel like you just got to do a little visual inspection of the tires. I did that one day. I walked around my car, and I noticed this little bud on the side of it. I'm like, huh, and I go with my key, and I try to remove the rocks, and it was a screw that had embedded in my tire, but the head had been worn off, right, because of the beating the road was giving it, and so just that stub of the screw was in there. Oh, my goodness. It's like, I'm driving with that thing around. That's awful. So I was so happy I noticed it. So, yeah, every once in a while, just take a walk around, take a peek at the tires. I remember one time, another time I was going to work in the Bay Area, interesting enough, and I noticed my car was kind of really bumpy ride, and so I'm looking at the tires. They look okay, but then I ran my hand on the inside, and there were these huge bubbles. Oh, my gosh. That would have been another disaster if I rolled out on the road on those. Whoo!

I do want to go back, maybe next time I'm over that way I'll just pop in there, make sure I have time for it. It's really wonderful, they have a good space exhibit there as well.

Oh, yes, I was driving to Newport this last weekend there and back again. And some people passing on the right side, weaving through traffic, giving, I'm literally three feet between them and the next car. Whew, I tell you, sometimes I just like, I just slow down, let them weave their way through, and if there's any crashes, I get a few extra seconds to think about it. It's just like, goodness, I don't know what these people are thinking. You know, save a few seconds of time and totally increase their chances of a disaster. But nope, never heard of that, but sounds interesting. I watch YouTube, and they like to suggest reckless driver videos on me from time to time, and so you just see some hair-raising things going on.

Right after that, the first and main topic for tonight, animals surviving heat wave pay a price. But just because animals don't come out of heat waves alive doesn't necessarily mean they're coming out with their health attacks. The study shows where giant rogue waves come from. And a new type of supernova may have been found. And one of the largest black holes ever has been discovered. And tiny black holes from cosmic collisions. And warm and cold temperature perceptions have different pathways in the brain. I was going to present that one last week. Didn't get around to it. But there are sea creatures found. And a meteor 20 million years older than Earth actually smashed through a man's roof. Medical Journal refuses RFK's request to retract a vaccine study. And a DNA switch that may have made us human. So they're now looking at what made us human, what separated us from the rest of the animal kingdom. It seems there is now this little DNA switch that sort of hyper accelerated our brain growth.

So at 500, that means there's not a lot of activity there as far as strong solar winds heading our way. And proton density is around 2 photons per cubic centimeter. Solar wind is about 1.30, sunspots 188, and had a number of clusters there, sunspots how old they are, 169, right through to, actually from 71 right through to 86. So quite a few sunspots there.

So lots of them up there, more going up all the time. And if any of you are actually checking those numbers from week to week when I'm mentioning the objects tracked globally, these larger ones, you'll see that most weeks there's an increment in the amount that's going on.

So 19.8 times that, 8.4 km a second and 90 meters in diameter. And so that was the one for today. Now we've got another one coming up in September, a much bigger one. So I'll have to work out, maybe I can do this for the next over, if I'm willing to, some of the topics. We'll see if I can do it. But this one's September 29th and it's asteroid 152664, 10.1 lunar distance in the way. So that's still a fair clip away from us, 18.6 km a second. So that's where we travel along and 412 meters in diameter. And I can use that one basically. I can use that one.

One is if you have hemotomas we have bleeding under the skin, again you can extract it through a needle. Once you alter the leech on it, a couple of leeches on it, it will extract the blood. And what's good about that too is leeches, their saliva has an anticoagulant in it. So as they're extracting the blood, it's not clotting under the skin. So they get most of it out. And also in microsurgery, they sometimes use them in microsurgery. And the same thing with the saliva. When you get down into those really, really small blood vessels, they can be prone to that blood clot. So get some leeches in there, and their saliva will help during the surgery to keep blood clots out of these little vessels as they're being repaired.

The best way to get them off is by, some people say smoke, alcohol, like a cigarette, I don't think, but alcohol or salt, no. The best way to do it is pull the skin really tight where the leech is attached, take maybe your nail or something thin and slide it under the leech's mouth to get it off. If you do it the other way, yes, you'll get the leech off but you also risk having it regurgitate, vomit, into the wound and it will be introducing a lot of bacteria and things so that's the best way to get them off. Just don't try and pull it, don't try and pull it, it's the same thing will happen, it's just regurgitate.

The air is, the bullet is trying to come down and the air is pushing up on it and it's slowing it, so it's not going to attain the speed it actually left the barrel from.

Good evening everyone, this is Victor Alpha 3 Victor with eX-Ray. I'm down the road from Ken in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and every week I do the weather. Ken likes to talk about space and all that good stuff. If anybody out there cares, there's two apps that you might have fun playing with. One is called Solar System Simulator Pro. They're available on the App Store and the Google Play Store. And there's another one called Universe Simulator. That one is 30 bucks, that's an application you can buy for Windows or Mac. They both do something similar, although the one that's designed for Windows and Mac has a much better graphics interface and some better physics. But if you want to mess around with the universe, and you want to do it for free or for $6 or less, Solar System Simulator Pro is pretty fun. You can turn the sun into a black hole with a diameter of 3 kilometers and see what happens to the planet. So, that's my PSA, let me move on to the weather. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. As far as weather goes, we have a major hurricane, category 4 Aaron, which is basically the outer rain bands are battering Puerto Rico, the British Virgin Islands, as well as the regular Virgin Islands, and Saint Bartholomew, Anguilla, they're all getting beat right now with the outer rain bands. The good news is, the hurricane is going to stay north of the chain of islands. Turks and Caicos keeping an eye there in case there's any deviation in the path, but it looks like it is going to stay north of all those islands, and the question becomes what happens later in the week. Bermuda, they're keeping a close eye on it, as well as everybody out in the Carolinas, in particular North Carolina. But at this point in time, it looks like theoretically both North Carolina and Bermuda are both going to miss it. Then the question becomes what's going to happen in Atlantic Canada, because Saint John's may not miss it, but we'll talk about that after. Anyway, right now it's a very very strong storm, winds of 240 km an hour, it's a category 4, it's expected to become a category 5 sometime around 2 am Eastern Time tonight, so early this morning, but shortly it's just a few hours, and it's going to maintain that intensity at least for the next, probably until Monday morning, it'll be a Cat 5 again before it moves into less favorable conditions.

Let me just get my notes together here. I'm going to talk briefly about the drought and the fire weather that we've been having across parts of Canada. Let me start with the fire weather here. Over the past week we've had a pretty severe wildfire season that's been continuing and there's been a number of large and active fires. So right now the national preparedness level is still at a 5 which is the highest possible as I've mentioned numerous times. So right now there's 695 active fires. This is as of a couple hours ago. There's 695 active fires. And we've had 4,498 major fires recorded to date and so far the numbers lag a little bit but right now the area burned so far this year 7.7 million hectares and that's approximately 240 percent higher than the 10-year average. So we're burning more than usual and so far this year Saskatchewan and Manitoba are accounting for half of the total area burned. So they've been getting it really bad.

That's 290 hectares and Patties Pond. That's near the town of Paradise and that was 212 hectares. These are important fires because they've triggered numerous evacuations including basically on the edge of St. John's proper which is the biggest city in Newfoundland. So the areas that are currently or had evacuation orders in effect were Bay de Verre Peninsula, Small Point, Adams Cove, Blackhead, Broad Cove, Salmon Cove and several unincorporated areas which include Western Bay and Kingston. There's been a widespread regional state of emergency that's been declared for the town of Conception Bay South, the town of Paradise and parts of St. John's as I mentioned. So again wildfires do happen in Newfoundland but the last couple years have seen an unprecedented number of fires. This is something that would happen once every 10 years and now we've seen it three years in a row with substantial fires. So that's not good.

So again, those are big, not nearly as big as Saskatchewan. And again, the province still remains under state of emergency and there are evacuations in Thompson and Slimflon and those areas. This is out of order, sorry about this, I should have done it with Eastern Canada and New Brunswick. They have a few large fires going. The first is the Oldfield fire. That one is 1,120 hectares and then the Pitt fire which is 45 hectares. And there's been some unhappiness because there was a total closure of all Crown land due to the wildfire hazard. So what that meant is that you couldn't use Crown land for hiking, camping, fishing and any type of vehicle, use ATVs or whatever. So people were sort of saying, let us go on the Crown land and I guess in New Brunswick, they said you know what, we want zero risk so we're just not letting you go on Crown land.

The largest fire right now still remains Red Lake and that one's the one northeast of Poplar Hill. That one is 30,602 hectares. It's been burning, smoldering, burning, smoldering up and down. There are no new evacuations at this point in time. However, there were evacuations previously. In the Coeur d'Alakes area, that fire is now under control. So for those that are in the greater Toronto area, the Coeur d'Alakes fire is a bit of an unusual fire. That one was near, that one was basically an hour away from Toronto. And it was a mix of, it was basically a hybrid fire. So at times it was a wildfire where it was, in its entirety it was a wildfire I should say. But it was a hybrid fire in that it was partially a forest fire as well as a more traditional wildfire like what you would see with brush, like a brush fire. So it varied between the two and that's because it was sort of on the interface where the agricultural land ends and the forested areas begin. So it was going through grass and shrub and also going into thick heavy forest and the area was impacted by an ice storm earlier in the year. So there was a lot of dead branches that were laying there. So the fire fuel indices were much higher because of all the accumulated dead wood in the area.

So the soil has dried out to a depth of 100 centimeters, which is very very dry. So it's stressing a lot of the trees out and some of them are beginning to shed their leaves as a result. So of course that just gives an indication as to how dry it is. But it's not dry everywhere, right? There's been thunderstorms and rain in some places.

We have a friend, he's a Raymond, he's a naval combat officer and he actually, his condo backed onto the fire. So he was sending us photos and he actually had to evacuate briefly. He was worried, but they prevented his place from burning. And then the fire in West Dalhousie, that one's 406 hectares. And there was an expanded evacuation order for the West Dalhousie fire in Annapolis. Okay last, British Columbia. British Columbia, they had a little bit of rain so it helped, but they've been having some high temperatures especially on the interior. The largest fire right now there is the Mount Underwood wildfire and that one prompted some new evacuation orders in Cowichan and Albert-Nee-Clayequet, I think I got that correct. And I think those are the two, yeah those are the two areas that are just seeing the evacuations at this moment. Seems like there are also some outstanding evacuations for Franklin River Road, Teshart First Nation and parts of the Mount Underwood area. That's basically it.

And I'm not sure exactly how many people died, but the reports that I've seen said that there was essentially flash flooding and mudslides and part of a mountain collapsed and that killed over 320 people. And the Bunir district is the sort of epicenter of what happened there. And they're reporting an additional 184 deaths on top of the 320 and right now there's still rescue efforts underway. Apparently they had somewhere on the order of 400mm of rainfall in the span of a couple hours, that's a lot of rainfall. And of course it is the monsoon season over there and the early indication is that they're getting about 65% more rainfall than they had last year in this monsoon season. So a lot of heavy rain on the way. And in India, which obviously neighbors Pakistan, the Indian administered Kashmir region, they had flash floods and mudslides as well. And in some of the Himalayan villages in Chhosti, they had a landslide that killed 60 people there. At least that's the current death toll, but it's expected to rise.

Real quickly before I go into the temperatures here, so throughout Europe they've had about 440,000 hectares that have burned, so that's within the area, within the Eurozone, spread across Spain, Portugal and Greece and all those places, Spain, Portugal and Greece are currently having wildfires that are actively being fought at this point in time. And the heat that they've been having has been breaking records. There's been a number of places in France and Spain that have broken through 40 degrees Celsius as well as Portugal, so it's set some new temperature records there as far as that goes, so very, very hot. And China's also in the midst of a huge heat wave and they've actually, I was reading an article and in China they've had temperatures getting up to 41, 42 degrees Celsius and they've called it a, what is it, oh my goodness, it was on the tip of my tongue, they called it an industry cool down, they called it an industry cool down and what they were trying to refer to was that it was so hot people went nuts buying air conditioners, so it was an industry cool down because people were going out and buying all these air conditioners to cool everything down. So that got me. I guess it translates in, I don't know if it's Mandarin or Cantonese, but obviously the direct translation sounds better than an industry cool down does in English. But yeah, that's what they were saying. Let me drop it. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November, all star node 6222, located in the north. So the Canadian drought monitor, that's updated regularly. As of the end of July 71% of the country was classified as abnormally dry or moderately to extremely dry. So that 71% includes most of Canada's agricultural landscape. So it's been very, very dry across huge chunks, obviously varies by region. BC, they basically had a moderate to extreme drought condition that was affecting 91% of their agricultural landscape and about 76% of the province. And the prairies, they weren't faring much better. It was so dry that they were expecting a crop reduction this year, somewhere on the order of 20 to potentially 40% depending on who's located where. And that of course includes Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba just because it's been so dry in a lot of places. Now there have been thunderstorms recently rolling through which have helped, but it has been dry so it's been strenuous on the crops. And of course, like I mentioned before, Ontario and Quebec very hot, very dry. The Ontario's only had about 60, sorry, we've only had about 40% of the normal monthly precipitation, which you see by this point in time. So we're under average by 60%. So that's not good at all.

And it's interesting because we should not be in a drought period at this point in time based on the annual cycles. This should have been sort of a neutral to wetter year but it's actually turned out to be much drier than anticipated so that's not good at all. And this leads into the next thing I was going to discuss which is severe weather in the form of tornadoes. So usually by this point in time we have somewhere around 50 to 60 tornadoes throughout the country. This year we only have 39 tornadoes which is unusually low. To put that in context, in 2024 there were 129 reported tornadoes, in 2023 there were 90, in 2022 there were 131, in 2021 there were 127, in 2020 there were 110, in 2019 there were 80, in 2018 105, and in 2017 71. So all things considered, we should have had about, by this point in time we should have had around 50 tornadoes, 50 to 60 tornadoes, so we're only at 39. I thought that we would see that pick up but so far it hasn't really budged. Now there is some active severe thunderstorms developing across the Canadian prairies as we speak but I don't know if those will produce tornadoes, not that I want them to, I'm just saying I don't know if they will produce tornadoes. Unusually low count for this late in the season for the country. There might be a reason for this, let me cycle it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T19:11:50+00:00","id":17424,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17423,"text":" have discovered is that in years we have a lot of forest fires. I know people are going to say well in 2024 we had 120 tornadoes and in 2023 we had 80. Okay let me put this in context. In 2023 was the worst, 2024 was a bad fire year too, but 2023, I believe I have to double check this, but I believe volumetrically the smoke in 2023 was worse than it was in 2024. So what ended up happening was we climatologists when they looked over everything discovered that the smoke was so thick and heavy it actually lessened the intensity of thunderstorms which produced tornadoes. So overall it lessened the intensity of severe weather simply by limiting the amount of solar radiation that was making it to the surface and reducing the total energy that was available for the storms and therefore their intensity overall went down. So it's been bad for smoke this year, obviously not as bad as 2023 and it's hard for me to quantify how bad it is relative to 2024 again because it can be very local, but there has been a lot of smoke this year and we have seen that has limited the severity of storms and it's sort of changed their development pattern, in some cases precluded their development, so that might be playing into this overall lower number of tornadoes than what we would expect typically by this time of the year, so that's something to consider. I don't know if you want to replace tornadoes with forest fire smoke, those aren't good options either way, but that might be how one is offsetting the other. Okay, that's it for me for the weather this week.

A quick question for you, in your opinion, about the hurricane era. I haven't been following too much, but what I just read, this is sort of a cursory read, that what was somewhat unusual about this, not entirely unusual, but it wasn't more unusual, how quickly it intensified, the strength of it intensified, but very, very quick. And is this something that's now turning into a pattern with these hurricanes? They're forming faster, intensifying faster, becoming stronger faster. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, All Star Node 6222, located in... I'm not going to ask that, because it is one of the questions that's come up. So what we've seen in years gone by, in the... So, okay, so to put it in perspective, the biggest hurricanes on Earth, or tropical storms I should say, on Earth, occur in the Pacific Ocean. Typically in that sort of dead zone, around the Marshall Islands, or just outside of there. So often you'll have some major typhoons out there that don't hit anything. And in the past, we've seen these storms out there rapidly intensify from tropical disturbances into full out super typhoons near the top of the scale. However you want to measure that. And so we've seen that. That is far less common in the Atlantic basin, as far as we're concerned, right? So seeing these tropical storms intensify so rapidly, especially with these explosive intensifications, where they essentially go from, you know, let's say a borderline category 1 hurricane, right? So a tropical storm that's barely transitioned into a hurricane, into a top of the scale hurricane in 24 hours. Again, even in the Pacific, that wouldn't happen all the time, but it was a little more... I would say it was not unusual to see that out in the Pacific. But in the Atlantic basin, that is not common at all. Let me cycle it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T19:18:12+00:00","id":17428,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17427,"text":" We've seen this now a few times in the Atlantic basin and it's a little concerning where these storms really intensify. And part of it is two things. We have better remote sensing technology now so we can see these intensifications happening more rapidly. But the other thing too is we've seen, so what you need for this intensification is essentially very little wind shear and a lot of undisturbed really warm ocean water. And we've seen more instances where that formula has occurred and as a result we've got that rapid intensification. I think the one that was really unusual though was the storm that hit Acapulco. That was, that can is like a one in a million shot. Acapulco when it does get tropical weather it's not that kind of tropical weather. It's maybe a category one, category two at best and even that is not common at all. So for Acapulco to get whipped by a category five that basically went from nothing to a full raging top of the scale hurricane in 24 hours is incredibly unusual. And that is indicative that we are seeing these changes occurring as far as the speed in which these storms intensify. One more thought for you, let me cycle it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T19:20:49+00:00","id":17429,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17428,"text":" I would say that yes, looking at the data over the last 15, look I've been looking at hurricanes in detail for 20 years now and more than 20 years now and I can tell you that in the last 10 years I've definitely noticed some changes as far as the rate of intensification in the Atlantic basin and in the last 5 years the fact that we're seeing more of these hurricanes visibly explode in short order is a little concerning but it is in line with warmer ocean temperatures and low shear environments and that is traditionally what has happened when they've exploded like super typhoon tip which is argued to be there's still an argument as to whether it is or was the strongest tropical system ever recorded in the satellite era because there aren't reconnaissance, there aren't hurricane hunters flying around out in the Pacific so we don't have the same sampling of data but we've seen the same conditions where we have a huge pocket of very hot water and low shear and then boom you have a tropical system explodes in it it's just that those conditions were less common in the Atlantic basin and they've become increasingly more common so you know yeah it is concerning and I would say yeah we have seen a trend where these storms are intensifying and they're also holding on to their intensity more greatly as they head further north so Atlantic Canada which for them a hurricane is nothing like what a hurricane is in the tropics you know they're now getting closer to this precipice where it's sort of is it's not there yet but in the next 10 years you know the palm trees might be blowing in the wind in St. John's sort of how they would blow in Miami not to the same degree but they would get more true hurricane conditions as opposed to you know like nor'easter type conditions I'll send it back to you Ken"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T19:21:06+00:00","id":17430,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17429,"text":" But the other area we've seen is rapid intensification."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T19:21:17+00:00","id":17431,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17430,"text":" Thank you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T19:21:42+00:00","id":17432,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17431,"text":" And then the VHE and KX.

We're around 27.7, let's say 28 degrees Celsius. At that temperature, it maintains that males are born. Higher than that, 31 degrees Celsius, females are born. There are higher and higher temperatures now where it's more conducive for the female turtles to hatch. And there's not enough male turtles hatching. Well, then that's indicative that, eventually, the turtles are going to face a crisis in population. So you can see how it affects them there. And there's other birds too. There's other birds too that their eggs require a specific temperature to hatch. As temperatures are going up, these birds can adapt.

And these giant waves, they suddenly appear in the open ocean, sometimes it's almost like they blow out of nowhere very quickly. They've probably been scientists for decades and they're brief, for the most part they're brief, maybe a minute or less, very unusual to see more than a minute long, and they can exceed heights over 65 feet 20 meters and they're very often twice the height of the surrounding waves. And so data collected between 2003 and 2020 of approximately 27,000 half hour wave records and they're referred to as sea states in the central North Sea, taken every 30 minutes, showed how elevated sea surfaces compared to average levels, and this included major storm activity. So most waves, most waves are created from wind blowing across water surfaces, so given enough time and space those waves can become pretty large depending on the wind and how much space you have to create these waves.

And the theory doesn't really give a proper description of wave creation on open sea. It works great for showing how large waves happen in narrow channels. So if you're looking at a narrow channel, a wave makes a way into the channel, they're forcing along in one direction, and those in the rear are pushed forward, and some tend to climb up over others piling up a long way and increasing the wave height. This is repeater station Kilo K7, November Quebec November 10th. That begins to resemble a rogue wave. In wide open spaces the effect doesn't apply. Therefore, modulation and stability breaks down without the defiance of a neural space. So if you have narrow areas or passages where oceans are feeding into gulf things like this, yes, you might get modulation and stability there, but out in the open ocean, no. So on the open sea, new research suggests that rogue waves develop because of constructive interference. When two or more waves line up and they combine, their amplitude and height is increased, like radio waves or standing waves, things like that. These rogue waves form when many smaller waves line up and their speaker crests stack up into a brief massive wave. In the ocean, there's a limit. There's actually a limit to how big a wave can actually grow, and this is due to the tube breaking. Just not big."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T19:34:49+00:00","id":17447,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17446,"text":" And as a wave grows in height and energy, there comes a point, there comes a point, a tipping point that can't hold itself beyond, and there's a point of final return. And as a wave, it spills over and breaks excess energy as it is released, and a wave height crashes, it ceases. So this is their new theory now. I think it's basically constructive interference in these waves, and it happens very quickly. You get a whole bunch of these waves all piling up together into a bigger one, and it happens very quickly. Modulation, it's the ability, it's basically where smaller continuous waves is introduced into larger waves. So you get a bunch of these smaller ones into maybe a larger wave, and that small wave will start growing and become dominant. So the original wave is now a bigger series of peaks and troughs because of these little ones. It's like being on a swing. I mean, remember when your kids were on a swing, and they're going back and forth, and you're pumping your feet back and forth, that's adding to your momentum. It's adding a little bit of momentum there.

I've always been fairly good at shrugging off colds and flus, but when I got it, I knew it wasn't a cold or a flu. And the big giveaway for me is one of the first things I do in the morning as I'm making my own breakfast, I get my dog, Jasper, I get his bowls, wash them out, put the food and water out for him. And as I was dishing out his food, I couldn't smell it. There was no smell. So, when I started hauling things out of the fridge, I thought, I can't smell. And then I realized I also can't taste.

And aluminum, it is toxic, I'm not going to be kidding you, it is toxic at a very high amount, but the quantity found in vaccines are far below that threshold and in fact, infants typically ingest more aluminum in their food than they do in some vaccines. And vaccines are in our food and in our water naturally, not even just from human-made sources, but it's in the soil naturally so you can go in some pristine length and take a cup of water out and you're still likely to get some aluminum from that water.

It was injecting, so that was one of the arguments. People use the polio vaccine. And then along came Sabin, the oral vaccine. And that was shown. That one showed that the virus was attenuated.

I had a pretty darn good day. Finally getting over a cold that I caught last week when I was on the East Coast. Too much air conditioning blowing on me for hours and hours while I was driving in 90 degree weather. Had to have the car AC turned up max to get about 75 degrees inside. All that air blowing on me for hours was just a little too much and I caught a cold and then finally, finally after about four or five days getting over it. Wow, I had a pretty busy day. I had a friend of mine that invited me to a Red Cross picnic down at Gasworks Park. And that was fun. Met a couple of amateur radio operators at the event that were part of Red Cross. And in fact, one person I met today, a woman, an older woman, her license has expired and she wanted to renew it. So here are some suggestions on getting that to happen and probably offer some help on that. And so on and so forth. Some people that were really good to meet with at Red Cross. I want to start volunteering more myself so I might get involved in that. And actually I know Shoreline has got like an emergency communications group that I want to join up with. So this year I'm going to be doing more training and volunteering. Let's see. Oh, and then on my car, my Kia EV, Kia Niro EV, I've been meaning to put some antennas on it someplace. I was going to drill holes in the roof and I thought what else could I do, what else could I do. And I decided, I've heard some people that are using like these lip mounts that work really good that you just like put on the back of your hatch or you put on the engine hood or something. So I ordered one from Tram which looks really, really nice. Some of these antenna get-ups that you order, they've got like this really kind of stiff coax. So I knew if I got one from Tram that it would have nice flexible coax which it does. So I've got a plan for installing the main part of the radio actually in the engine compartment or what's I guess referred to as the engine compartment. There's no gasoline engine in there so it stays nice and clean. So that's going to be a bed for my radio, the main part of the station. It'll have the head, of course, somewhere around the interior, on the dash, whatever. Anyway, still working that out. At least I've got a plan for putting an antenna on. So that's kind of what's going on with me. Oh, and I'm getting ready for a trip. I'm going to be Monday morning heading off to the airport to go to South Korea for the week for some business. So busy week, getting ready for me tomorrow, etc. KI7, ZHE."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T21:08:45+00:00","id":17541,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17540,"text":" Hey Tim, quick question for you.

I didn't mind putting holes in the roof, so I drilled holes freely and had a couple of different antenna mounts up there, NMO mounts. I just used a 3 quarter inch drill. Actually, I used one of those step drills that you get at Harbor Freight Tool. It works really, really well if you're going through the sheet metal. On this new car, I wanted to avoid putting holes in the roof, not because I mind holes in the roof, but because after you get the hole in the roof, then you've got to go through the whole routine of trying to route the cable. You've got to remove the headliner and put it back in. On the old car, I was always too lazy to actually put it back together, so it looked pretty chunky on the inside with things kind of ripped apart. On this one, I decided, okay, I want to avoid all that, so what I'm going to do is to lip mount. I'm going to put it on the back edge of the hood. You raise the hood, and where the back is, like by the windshield wipers, there's a mount that you can put on the edge and then run the wire inside. To prevent having to run the wire into the passenger compartment, I'm going to have the main part of the radio, the RF part, in the engine compartment. I'm still working on the details there, but that way I will avoid a whole lot of headliner removal and cable routing and so forth. It should really, really simplify the setup. I'll let you know how that goes in a few weeks.

Hey, Jeff, thanks a lot. You take care of yourself. And let's head over to Florida where it is good morning to Elaine. This is repeater station kilo. Good morning to you, Rich, and welcome back. Good morning to you, Jill. We had a very violent, loud, noisy, bright thunderstorm for about an hour and a half tonight. It was really, really wild. I've never seen the lightning so short and the thunder so loud. I mean, it was just unbelievable along with a lot of rain, of course. And we can use the rain, but we could do without the thunder and lightning, that's for sure. And the lights went out for about two seconds and came back on. So that leads me to my next news. I put a down payment on a champion generator today, stand-alone generator. And it'll do the same thing that people talk about the generax one and take a couple weeks to get it and be run on propane. And I think it's going to be very good when our power goes out during hurricanes. One time we were out for five days, that was with Nargier, which year, and we kept this one generator going with kerosene. But I think now I certainly wouldn't be able to do that. So I'm glad I'm getting one that will stand alone and will turn itself on immediately after the power goes out. And it's good for seven days before they have to pull it again with propane. So hopefully it won't last that long, but at least we'll be ready to have life and refrigeration and air conditioning, which I think will be great. So let me take a break."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-16T21:16:54+00:00","id":17549,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17548,"text":" And three-hour mode back and just before I started talking to you I've lined kitty Felix made his way over.

This thing is in just incredible condition, almost like new. I got it last year and I think I only paid $25 for it. It was a nice addition to the rest of my Drake equipment. So anyway, I took it apart and took a few pictures and posted them so everybody could see what it looks like inside. And while I had it apart, I used the unit itself and the outside case as the bottom of the antenna. And the top of the antenna is the inside cover. This thing is double shielded.

I don't have too much to say, but I heard earlier that somebody was mentioning they were going to mount their radio in the engine compartment. And my feeling on that, if they're listening, is one, is you normally want your radio as far from the motor and all those electrical components as possible. And the other one is heat under the motor and the engine compartment could kill your radio. And normally you should mount the radio like in front of your air conditioning ducts or someplace where it has good circulation because most of these new radios are real prone to heat. And he could ruin his radio. It's just something that maybe he needs to do some research on and get some better ideas. But to me that's like it might be a problem.

I'm on the top floor of my building so I don't have to attach it to anything. It just kind of goes out the window and sits on my rooftop deck with a camera tripod that I sort of rigged with a little bit of, I broke it a little bit but it fits the antenna quite nicely. But I had to take it down this past week because of inspections. And the guy that manages my apartment building, really nice guy. He just sort of hand waves over things that are technically off limits according to the agreement of the lease. But he made very clear on several notices on our door that Mr. Collin will be accompanying him. He's the guy who actually owns the building. So that was his way of saying put things away.

I don't know, Megan how many people do you think were there? 30? 30 people there maybe? And so they actually did two turkeys, he's got two setups and so you get the peanut oil really hot and then they do the wise thing of taking the pot off of the propane burner, kind of over off away, then you put the turkey in, that kind of prevents any of the oil spilling over and catching on fire and then once you got that then you bring it back over and put the turkey on, or put the pot on the propane burner. And I think it's, I want to say it's about 45 minutes to cook a turkey in there, and it was a, you know, 17 pound turkey, something like that, but it was absolutely delicious, you got to get some of the nice crispy skinned bits. So K9 BBC, back to you. Brooks, that sounds like such fun, this is for identification K7WFP, that sounds like such fun, it sounds a little terrifying though to carry this big pot of hot oil around, I'd want a Nomex suit or something like that.

Unfortunately, it would be great if it was free as in beer, but it's free as in speech. I really enjoy these open source conferences, particularly this one being the local one that's just down the street from my house. I don't know if I'm speaking this year actually. I did submit a proposal for a talk, which was the Introduction to Network Programming. But they haven't yet announced what talks they've selected yet. They're a little bit behind. But it's a really great conference. There's free snacks and food and lots of people who want to talk about really just taking control of your life through taking control of the machines that you use every day. And you don't even have to sign up or register. You just come as you are. So you are your identity and your privacy are completely your own. You decide your level of engagement. But yeah, it's a wonderful thing. I love being a part of the community and I would love to bring in new people and I'd love to see all of you there. So that's my spiel. With that, I will send it back to all of you. Take care. Good evening. KK7SKB. Back to Matt. Well, Tri, thank you for making us aware of that. I know you had last year. And I know Rich has talked about it. Well, I know he's talked to you about Linux and I'm pretty sure he's been to that conference. He may come back and tell us a little more. Tri, can you give us a good reliable way to find out more info? Is it a website or something you can direct us to? Yes, of course. Thanks for having me. Yes, it is. This is Schole.org S-E-A-G-L.org. Back to you, KK7SKB. S-E-A-G-L.org. Wonderful. Thank you. I think like a lot of hams who've fooled around with digital voice modes and stuff and Reserae Pi, I've been exposed to Linux. I know the very most basics, but I still don't get it. And just the other day I decided, well, this year I'm going to try and really get it. I set up one of those, what do you call it, NotebookLM, which is that branch of Gemini that lets you have an AI system that only looks at vetted information. And I threw a bunch of Linux links into it and I'm going to use it to be my Linux tutor. So I might actually get there on November 7th and 8th and learn something.

I had to get out of the net early because my wife came home and we had to go do some stuff and he finished out the net all by himself and did a fantastic job.

And who was there but the West Seattle Amateur Radio Club was there having their, I guess they do an annual little thing on the waterfront. So I just wanted to stop by and talk to those nice people. A lot of fun, a lot of good people. Let's see, you're listening to 9 p.m. PSRG SocialNet. My name is Bill, K7WFD. We've got some time to talk to people out there.

Yeah I kind of liked it when it was just a day off for style. In fact, I'd like to get the guy that imposed this organization on Sunday. It was alright being open and free. I kind of suspect who probably pushed it to impose structure and rules for Sunday. I don't see them on here. They might be, I don't see them listening. But you know, whatever, I don't want to be in any decision making here because mainly I can't devote the time that was needed in order to be part of the net. So I'll just have to abide by it. I wish there are things when they don't have so many rules attached to them. There was getting a lot of people in here, I'll say that, on Sunday. And I don't know if any of them thought that they weren't getting able to get in there and contribute to a conversation. Because none of the conversations on here are private. If I'm one of the people that's in the conversation, it's always that somebody could get in there and say something. Even change the subject. As far as the question goes today, I have something for that as well. I spent now about $50 on electronics. And this is like news because it's probably something some people aren't aware of. You can buy electronics and read the specifications that the electronics that you're buying in particular are these earbuds. And they'll say stuff to make you believe that they can do things but when you get them, I really can't. The earbuds I bought said that it can connect to multiple devices at the same time. Now I have headphones and I can hook to my PC and mobile. And if I get a call on my mobile, it freezes what's going on in the PC and I can answer the call and I'm going to hang up. If I'm watching a video, it will resume. So what would you think that connecting to multiple devices at the same time would be? I thought that it would work like my headphones but it didn't. So I ended up buying earbuds that are useless to me. I'll end up giving them away. So I bought another pair. The ones that are coming today are supposed to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. So we'll see if it really does that when they get here. Now they were priced in the $80 to $100 range but I did find some that were lower so I'll only end up spending $40 and end up with an extra set of earbuds and I didn't have to spend $80 to get one of higher quality because I didn't mind the sound. I just wanted that one feature. So I still saved money in some aspect but I was still kind of misled there. So what's the news? You can be misled. So they can sell you that. And then it's always a pain in the neck to have to send it back. I'm not going to do that. I'll keep it for a gift for somebody. This is Ron, AA4HO, Miramar, Florida. Back to Kevin in neck control. Okay, before we hand it to Peter, just to repeat the question again. What is the most impactful tech news you've encountered recently? That kind of came up. It was funny because in my settings what happened was it was asking me about something totally different so I rephrased it to what I wanted. It was asking me about the SACNO Kings because I was last having a long conversation with the chat GBT about it. It was asking me something to the effect of... I can't imagine you'd want to answer it but I'll tell you what it originally said before I changed it to what you're answering now. And I have an answer for that that I'll deliver too. It was something like what did the SACNO Kings ever do that was impactful ever. I can't imagine somebody's going to want to know. They have a history of getting their butts handed to them and then they sort of make up from that and then they get knocked down again and then they make up from that and get knocked down again. They redeem themselves and they get knocked down again. It makes you dizzy. And I like all the innovative new stuff they're doing like with chat GBT. That might have been my sort of tech news thing that I would have answered. And it's just available everywhere. People using it to forge prescriptions or actually that would be nice. They're using it for medical advice because especially now in Ontario it's impossible to get a doctor. There's no way. So now people are using machines. As far as wanting the Sunday free form where we school around, might I encourage people to just get on on other times. I try to get on in the afternoons when there's plenty of dead air time and no one comes on. Because in between the West Coast net that they have on in the middle of the day you have plenty of space to get on and talk. So I do that all the time and I never really hear from anybody. Pretty much every day this week I kind of strategically time it. So for instance one instance would be like sometime during the one o'clock hour. It's always interesting to see who's here and not at the Alaskan net. Because at the Alaskan net they can go to blazes. So it's amazing to kind of see who's around during then. Once in a while I'll get someone that answers. Most of the time it's just crickets. And then I'll try sometimes through the two o'clock hour. I'm not just going to call every minute. So I strategically time it to make myself seem like a beacon. And then I get out of the way around three for the West Coast. Four, if I'm still even around, if I'm still near the equipment, sometimes I'm not, I'll get on and call again. And then there's all kind of times in between the five, six and seven. See I'm telling you times that you can get on and screw around. Get on and swear, who's going to know? And I'm joking. But you could do a lot of stuff. You could really do a lot of stuff. Sometimes there's open mics by mistake. Which I guess if nobody hears them then that's what you would want. Open mic that nobody hears. Yeah, like for instance, today I know that they'll be busy, they'll be the, oh the, who the hell are they? Radio Canada guys. The Radio Canada guys will be on in the afternoon here. So then I kind of stay out of the way for that. I mean there's a lot of them, right? And so it's quite a lot of people to have in my living room. So I usually stand by for that and then I usually start calling when they get quiet. Usually they will eventually. So consider the other times on do drop in. I know there's those of you that like the morning, but there's those of you that want to wake up first and there's plenty of chances to do that. And then who knows if it's like, well it's stupid Kevin calling, that's not an incentive. I'll get on there, talk, drown me out. You know how it goes. If it starts getting too complicated I chase away. So you have some tricks on your sleeve too. Use them, they're radio tricks. You know how it is when you don't really like someone too much. You can kind of gang around them so that they become really, really, really small. No worries, no worries on that. So consider the other times on do drop in.

Good morning everyone. I'm having a great morning. I was allowed to wake up this morning and a couple things that I was listening to like rules. Rules. You know the rules that are in place in here is not in reference to do drop in or anyone that's in here at all. They were initiated by FCC and this is the analogy that I have when it comes to that. The rules of the road. If there was no speed limit, no stop sign, no nothing, just people doing what they do, what will happen? A lot of accidents. And that's why I think they have rules. That's just my opinion you know. People need some kind of regulation. So when it comes to rules, it's here for a reason because they've had experience of lots of crashes. I've walked into a room of what 17, 15 men sitting in one of these rooms. Whatever came up with the thing about asking questions and getting it moving, that was an excellent thing. And if you don't use it and there's silence, you will lose it. That's my theory. And as for, let me hold on I'm gonna drop it for a second. And as for the news, I was talking to a neighbor about Washington DC. And I really believe Washington DC, too early, is the face. It's our face. You know that's where the capital is. And your face cannot have mud and dirt on it. It has to be clean to represent. And I believe that 100%. I do. But like one person said in here, it's the execution of things that are happening. I understand that things have to be cleaned up and everything, but you know that's just me. And Kevin, thank you so much for taking the net this morning. And it's back to you.

Well, yeah, it's why I like to be a ham. I mean, I could go to a regular chat room on any place like Clubhouse or the old, back then, remember when they used to have PalTalk? And yeah, you know, there's no structures and you find people that are kind of crazy. But at least here, there's some kind of moderation, right? And then you can still have lots of fun, right? Like the rules aren't really that much of a hindrance and I don't even know people that feel they're somehow bounded by it, right? I mean, you get to do plenty of stuff and if you phrase it right, you can pretty much do anything, right? People on here talk about guns and talk about pot. So, there's a radio way of doing things. If you're going to be a radio operator, then there's going to be new things to learn and new boundaries that you have and your talent is working with it, right? Like you could say, okay, I like to cuss with the homies when I'm in my basement, but once I'm on the mic, I know how to act. And so, nothing wrong with that. But yeah, of course, you could go like FaceTime, Skype. Well, no, no, Skype's not around anymore. Zoom and whatever, you know? You could be cutting up, you know? But here we chop it up different ways. So, that's one of the unique things. So, I can work with the rules. Sometimes it's fun to laugh at them. It's fun to kind of flaunt them a little bit. I mean, there's times where I need to put on my, I can get away with just about anything, huh? And I'll support that once in a while. I'm not going to lie to you. There's times I thumb my nose at the rules, but I'm still here. I'm still alive. I'm still kicking. I'm still breathing. So, either I know or I've convinced people that I know the right things or just I haven't pissed people off enough yet when they're coming after me with that. So, there you go.

I, you know, it was a bliss that, you know, I've experienced in my life before that I was there. And, you know, it was not work that I could consider it in any way. And I was waking up every day feeling like it was Saturday. Because the job that I transitioned to mostly, you know, was what I did on the weekends. So now, you know, I did it. I was doing it every day. And that lasted for quite a while. I was enjoying it. So, you know, and it was year round. So, you know, there were more than one summers involved. There was more than one summer. So I could honestly say that's probably the best, most memorable. And, you know, I'll never be able to go back there. But, you know, I know I enjoyed it immensely. While, you know, I was able to experience it. I hope that others who would come on here and answer that question could have at least that in their life. And if not better, I'd like to hear about it.

This is Dee. Man, when I came to Florida about 20 years ago from New York, and one thing I used to love going to was, before we went up this bridge, we went through the side. And on the side, there was a bunch of rows of trees along the bay. So the water will come up under the trees. I don't know if I can give you a picture of this. But what you can do is, what we did is, in between the trees there was an opening. Usually the opening was good enough to drive your truck in between. And there would be a little water, little oasis, and you would put your chairs up and you have your little private oasis with your car there, and you could enjoy the day. But things have changed since 20 years. We have a bacteria problem, algae, and that's because the pollution entwines with our bay at certain points of the day or whatever. You have to keep an eye out to how high and low it is. So it eats your, if you've got your foot in, you know, in the water, you're swimming in, getting skin-eating bacteria, you know, there's a chance. So with that, I stopped going to that area, but it was very beautiful, very beautiful. There's probably places all over the United States where there's just such beauty in it. But, you know, you gotta be careful. Like, I don't go to the beach anymore. We had, oh, let me drop for a second. One time I read a couple years back in St. Petersburg, the college kids came in and they buried their friend in the sand out of fun, you know. But when he went back, apparently a dog must have pooped in the area they buried him in, and the dog had some kind of worm or something. So worm went into the bottom of this kid's foot and started crawling all over his body, and then he got a couple of them in his body, and they had to somehow kill the parasite. So, you know, when I heard that news, you could probably look it up at YouTube, it was a little gross to me, so now I don't even walk on the sand. So, anyway, but I think there's a lot of beauty still out there. There's places in Florida that is so, we have a lot of preserves and places you can go to camping, but, you know, you have to be a little careful because climate and disease can be a problem, so you have to be careful.

So, I thought that was funny because most of us when we go to those places we get attacked alive, so it would be nice to have something like that. And she was talking about well if you're actually really serious and you actually go, I didn't go this year, you have to book months in advance, you have to answer this long application on the internet and then you apply to go. But, so I didn't get to go, but she was saying, well I could equip you with a whole suit that has tons of these in the suit, and I'll bet you when you start showing up to those places, she said well see because to black flies and mosquitoes and maybe perhaps even a rat, it would be like a loud ass heavy metal concert non-stop. And so, but I would be like, well as long as no one else kind of hears the sounds then it will be okay. She said no they're ultra frequencies, they shouldn't really hear that much, but for the pests it will be like a loud ruckus. So, I don't know if I want them to go through a loud ruckus so much as I want them to die, but that's a whole other thing. So, that was one memory and then the next thing was just the rest of the antics of all those people like that when we would get together for breakfast at the Dry Square Mall, and you know, eight o'clock in the morning before the mall opened, so I just thought some of that was hilarious.

It's amazing how if it just rains just a little bit, the grass grows 4 inches. I mean, then it stops again. So yeah, I've got to do yard work. I'm not looking forward to it. It's going to be hot and humid, but it needs to be done. So I'm out here first thing in the morning getting wet. I woke up and then I'm going to get started. So I'll be listening.

Yeah, glad to do it. Glad to do it. It is a lot of fun to get on the radio. It also makes up for the days that I can't because of work.

I was happy as hell because then it just bought me a whole bunch of time to sleep. So, yep, we make up for it by emceeing and getting in some of these places. Getting it in, as the young people say.

She was propagating that Black Lives Matter is a white man's movement. See, because they don't want us to have organic movements. So they give us a movement so that way we can't have a militant movement. Because remember, back in the 60's in the March on Washington, we was wanting to sleep on highways and byways and runways. And Kennedy said, no way, you're going too far, you're going too far. Next thing you know, it was nothing but circus clowns. A minute ago it was militant, now it's a big fair and a circus. What about her? Ask her more about that. Yeah, she said Dorgeson. She gave the black people the Black Lives Matter thing. And she was like saying that that wouldn't be no black person's agenda. Well, you know, like, because they all mixed it up, they had the other things, the LGBQ and all the rest of it that they were standing for. And she said, an organic movement by ours, if anybody with balls ran it, it wouldn't tell you to just lay down for the cops. So, damn, wait a minute. So yeah, I got a million questions.

Although her bank shut her off, she sent them an email letting them know that she was going to be out on the road, but apparently they didn't like the transactions they were seeing from here, there, and everywhere. So they shut down her account. She couldn't get ahold of anybody over the weekend to find out what was going on or get it turned back on. She'll be doing that tomorrow. But she said she didn't have access to her money except for on her daughter's account, but her daughter doesn't have any money in her account. And her paycheck this week went into her account, so got to get that figured out. Other than that, things are going fairly well. She's got done her 50 hours, so we'll be over on team now. Once we get the truck fixed, got to get the truck fixed, both the differential and the blower for the AC up front. These are two very important things. But I'll be here. They've got Denny's here.

And we've done quite a bit today. It really does pay. First to kind of start the net a little earlier, right? I came in a few minutes earlier and then I started asking my questions right away. Because yesterday I sat and wrote a whole bunch of crap out with the help of ChatGPT. Kinda. It asked stupid things, so then I altered what it asked too. What is your go to solution for handling pests in your garden and has it been successful? What is your go to solution for handling pests in your garden and has it been successful? So, have you taken the nunchucks to the squirrels or maybe like a big piece of wood? My dad would envision taking a ginormous piece of wood and smashing a big raccoon on the skull. There was one time he was absolutely livid when they had gotten into the roof of this other place we were staying in. And yep, he wanted to kind of chase out there with a bat and try to find them. It never happened. And then he said that he wants, he says that he wants there should be flamethrowers for four legged things. So, that's what he's thinking about if it ever came to that. So, because technically the garden and the yard would be his. The only thing I would say is then of course you bring some of those things into the house and then there might be some trouble. Because during the other place that we stayed, they say like grizzly bears break into people's houses all the time. Well good, then they can die all the time as well. They need to start learning a few things. Maybe when they kept some shell casings behind them. Gotta learn them a thing or a few. So, we'll have to make that happen. Rounds and rounds and rounds for grizzly bears. So, you know how Star Chamber... Hold on. I gotta find, hold on, hold on. Wait, hold on. Okay, there we go. Yeah, I'd never be able to reset. Or I wouldn't be able to reset. You know how Star Chamber says that he's got 40 rounds for 40 clowns. So, because he has to say it to where it would be realistic. Right? Because I think originally he wanted to say that he had 6,000 rounds for two clowns. But then people made fun of him for that and he stopped. Because he started to kind of say that and people said, well you make it sound like you can't hit the side of a barn. They said do your 40 rounds for 40 clowns. Sounds better.

You know, I forgot to pass it to the, I get into what I'm talking about so much and then I forget that I'm not supposed to give it back to net control because of the unique way you handle it. Well, it's not that unique because Russell does it the same way, you know, he likes it a certain way, not exactly like that. So maybe that's a bad example. Anyways, let's see, when I'm done, I got to pass it to Dee. Let's see if I remember because what I got to say, you know, there's all kinds of critters around here. Some are beneficial and some, you know, are very undesirable and occasionally they'll try to get inside. Now, I've had a snake before. I got this what they call a solarium. It's off to the side of the bathroom on sliding glass doors and then it's not really large, it's about the size of a closet but, you know, the sun comes in and, you know, it has a screen on the top so basically it should keep everything out. And then you have, in order to get out onto the patio, you got to open the door. And I got a doggy door so that, like if I leave the sliding glass door open, the dogs can go out on the patio through the bathroom. Anyways, I looked up what kind of snake it was and it was, you know, one of those beneficial kinds. So, you know, I definitely got my grabber and took it outside. I didn't want it, you know, making my solarium its home because, you know, snakes bite anyway. You know, I wouldn't be reaching around one of my plants and get bit even if it wasn't poisonous. Because they, you know, they may have had things but they got teeth. And they do strike if they're provoked, you know, as timid of a right it might be. Let's see, there was some others that got in here. Now, we have an invasive species here, they're called iguana. And these things get really big. I had to reset there. They look like, you know, miniature dinosaurs. Some of them grow to be enormous. And enormous, I mean, like the size of the German shepherd. But I don't think that was an iguana that I saw in that canal. I think that was another species that somebody released in there. And that's how these critters get out into the environment is, you know, they're held as pets. And then, you know, we got all these snakes in the Everglades. I haven't seen any boas or some of these other species. I'm not thinking the name of it right. I can't think of the name of it right now. Besides boa, they kind of get their prey by strangling it within their body before they swallow it whole, which is kind of disgusting. Just think about that. And they're not good. Now, the iguanas might be good because they eat undesirable things. But there's so many of them. And I had one of them on the patio. And I had to get him. A good thing I got my grabbers because otherwise, you know, I don't have any way of getting them out of the house. The little lizards, you know, I kind of ignore them because they're, they eat, you know, smaller bugs and roaches and stuff. So they're pretty good. But they're native, you know, they're not like the big iguanas that grow up 100 times the size of, you know, the biggest lizard you could find. So that's my story about what's around here. There's some possums. I got some pictures of possums, nasty looking. You know, they were out on the fence. There was a couple of them and I got a couple of pictures of them. They look like real ferocious looking but they're kind of timid. And if you don't happen to catch them at night, if you happen to walk out, you know, when you turn on the light and see them, you catch them after they tried to cross the street and didn't make it to the other side.

Thank you Ron for the pass. I have a couple of things that I use for pests. And the one thing that we use a lot that we can't use too much and we have to be very careful with, especially when you have pets, is boric acid. And boric acid, you cannot find it by itself. It has to be included in a product. And what we used was cockroach powder has boric acid, a good amount of it in it. And we had problems with invisible ants and also black ants. And you put that where you think they're coming in from and they'll be gone. I mean, permanently. And I also use, I can't pronounce this crap. Deamachus is D-I-A-T-O-M-A-C-E-O-U-S. Deamachus Earth. And the reason if you have chickens or birds or stuff in your area and you had something outside, you put this in the area and it will kill the animals as it comes to whatever without hurting your animals or other things. And that's one thing that I use because I used to have quails. And I learned that from a parrot sanctuary. Hold on, let me reset. Hold on one second. And that's what we, that's what we use and that's what I used when I had quails. And the other thing, just when I have a garbage outside and stuff like that, like I said, I have pets. So when you spray, sometimes the wood might take it to the ground and then your pet will step on it when they go by and then your pet makes the paws. So you can get your pet really sick. But I use Vivo. It stinks like hell. But that's what I use in my garbage cans because sometimes you can get, you know, pests like gnats and stuff in your garbage and stuff like that. So that's a couple of things that I use for my pest control. But my thing was boric acid because that is very efficient. And sometimes because it says cockroach product, you got to look at the product label and see what's in there. And boric acid is very efficient in getting rid of small pests.

There's like no reason for it, right? That's the reason they're setting it up. They're just letting you know how trivial again. I Just don't like those guys around the corner Right, so you get that little object lesson at first that ain't none of this sweet Right all before the whole they saw my brother They saw my brother before all of that you're already getting an object lesson. See ain't nobody watched it with me I had to just figure all this out. I was like 13 my highlight of it was We were duping Rogers cable that are watching it for free And we showing it over and over and this is when they had their version of like the TMN the Toronto Movie Network had their version of like spectroscope. That's what they were doing. So they would run those Those flicks those rap flicks over and over again in between the time when I was going from school to home as I was staying at the At the boarding school. So there you go.

I think I'm gonna go get him or something yeah, so we end up we end up with a lot of creatures out there in the wild and Aren't native to this area Or, you know the area that you're in that used to be pets and That said that said, you know, what people end up being pets Don't need them and They don't realize how much worse they're going to be in the day then they've been a loser to them said Suggest enjoy your life pets are big responsibility And they don't they don't deserve that so pet responsibly but um What's nice to hear?

That's not going to happen, I don't think. The time zone shift. The effect seems to be always there and it takes, they always claim a one day per time zone, but I think it might be more than that for me. Anyway, let's see what to say. The animals, treating the animals nice and all that. What else? Oh, the alligators. I tell you, we really enjoyed kayaking down there in Florida. We'd see alligators on the edge of the bank, you know, getting the sun. And I guess they don't attack the kayaks, they didn't attack me, but there's a lot of kayakers down there. We paddled around quite a bit. Anyway, I really enjoyed that. Back over to, I guess back over to Kevin. I can't think of much else to say here. I did finish breakfast one, so that was good. I had a question about something. I've been off and on here, I've been regular because I've been traveling. I was on the train quite a bit and then we bought a house. Anyway, hit and miss here for me. I have not heard Gaby for a while and I wonder if she still checks in. There are some other people too, but anyway, that was the one that came to my mind. Anyway, I guess things always evolve. People could say the same about me. What happened to Steve? Anyway, back to Nat. Angie will be up. She was on like last week sometime and she checked in to a couple of the nets then. You'll probably be able to ask her when she gets down the dial, meaning when a couple of more nets progress on the dew drop in. She just gave up Sunday. As a result, there's those of us that have to kind of pitch in so you have Sunday. Okay, now the list is a little bit short so I'm going to give people a chance to still answer the question and it's still the same. So, let me read it.

My wife and I went out to my daughter's house to their new house. They've got three now. They really need to do. They got stuff at their first house. So there was kind of a short work but then they have a fleet and they're trying to get that worked on. And then the second house, they got the dogs at the second house right now until they build the camel at their new house. They're going to have their new houses. They've got a lot of land and they're going to have a place for his construction equipment and they're going to have a horse corral for my granddaughter so she can have a horse. They're going to have the dog camel for my daughter's business. And then they're going to build a pool. Can't wait for that. But we went up there and saw them and dropped some stuff off after we visited our granddaughter. And three of the grandkids were there. So we got to see all four grandkids on that trip. And then the three grandkids and my wife and I, we sat and played Jurassic Park Uno. And we had a couple of hiccups there, some bruised egos and some sibling hostility. But they all came back together and it went well. So I think that's probably the top experience or happy time so far this summer. So that was nice.

But it's been getting me a lot of problems lately. So the old standby, the Echo Link app, always works, even if it doesn't have the timer on it. But oh, great. I forgot what else I was going to say. I think it was about the, oh, next month is September, driver appreciation month. It's my birth figure. They have driver appreciation because it's my birthday. That's my story. I'm sticking to it. But Swift has a whole week there in Phoenix that they have a driver appreciation. They do a lot of stuff for the driver. They do it in all the terminals, even with some lunch and dinner usually. And Swift in Phoenix will have breakfast, lunch, and dinner and give away stuff to the driver's freebies for being drivers and being appreciated. And all the truck stops will have some freebies. So looking forward to that next month and getting all the good stuff from my birthday. But I'm going to see if I can work it out and make it back because right now it looks like I'm going to get back the week before and then have to go out and not get back until the week after.

There's always old folks' homes everywhere I go. There's always places for me to play music. I'm going to play music. I think my big old banjo today was, boy, that thing's heavy. I'm lifting it right now. Man, it was that heavy. Okay, anyway, so I guess I will just keep paying attention here to what's going on. Kevin, back to you. This is NGO BF. All right. Well, I told you this next one will be a honey. I think Chat GPT came up with this one for me on account of many times during our sessions, I swear at it. And a lot of times I have hissy fits and almost crying fits with my Google Mini. And I let it in on it because it's, well, not a person. I would be embarrassed if it got out on the repeater or on the frequency. Maybe not so much the swearing, but being a crying wreck, probably. So this question, I guess, was inspired by it since it knows my business. So have you ever been so mad at your PC that you wanted to smash it with a hammer? And have you ever done that to any piece of equipment? So almost like the honeymooners where Norton starts having a hissy fit and almost acting like he's trying to throw a piano across the room or something. Now he's never done it to where he's like said he's going to smash a piano over an old lady. Right? So it was never anything like that. You know what was a real classic was Joe Pesci, right? And Goodfellas. You know, Tommy. When he's hanging with his boys and all of a sudden, what are you looking at? He smashes this guy over the head with a bottle of beer. That's kind of unpredictable, badass. He's looming over me like a ghost. You got to do something about Tommy. He's treating me like half a fag. There you go. There's another expression for you. If you actually know the way that that was used and you actually know, then you're hardcore. You're old school. You're definitely in the zoomers category because they say stuff like that. Like this guy, he's treated me like half a fag. So if you know what that means, you're down. And my mom would give you mad props for sure. Because one time she laid that out. I was like, what, what, what century does that come from? And she said, yeah, very good. Just a lot of New Yorkers used to talk like that or back that day. Okay. I am at the bottom of the list and I got plenty of spaces before we take it back to the top.

I think the creators and the writers of those things kind of, they use some of those chances because they'll eventually put certain answers, the least phrases you would expect. I wish I could repeat them to you. Like I could tell you to say a couple of things to Google now and I would kind of like, there's some programmed answers, but ain't none of them clean. So, because I think I've called that stupid Google assistant lady, I think I've called her everything. And mostly the generic response is always going to be, sorry, I don't understand. So you say to her, hey, when are you going to come out of here, come out of that box and service all the boys? Sorry, I don't understand that. Okay. Well, let's leave room for more check-ins.

And a couple of guys dragged him from the room and started beating on him with sticks and they said we could have easily been hit with that thing. You're insane. You can't just drop things into the street. So he got mad at his chicken bander one day, his little CB. He said he wanted to teach the thing a friggin lesson.

Yeah, I get some devices, you know, that aren't working and, you know, I'll open them up and they're all surface components. And I haven't successfully isolated the trouble in them. Usually, besides all of those little tiny resistors and capacitors in there, they'll have a few transistors and a chip which is basically, you know, the entire device. And then they'll scratch the numbers off the chip so you can't really identify it. And, you know, to change those components is, it requires tools I don't have. You know, you need the hot air thing that melts the solder, you know, and you have to have the tweezers and a microscope to see, you know, if you were to replace the chip if all of the pins fell in the right place and they have like 50 pins around it. So I've never smashed it like, you know, I'm going to, I'm frustrated enough to take it and put it on the concrete floor in the garage and take a hammer to it. I have, you know, taken it to the garbage and threw it out with extreme prejudice because it wasn't worth it to get, you know, keep it around because it's just, you know, I'm not going to get any further to find out what's wrong with this thing. And I had a machine that needed parts that made cigarettes and they only, the manufacturer only limits certain parts and the parts that went bad in it, I couldn't find anywhere so I ended up throwing that out. You know, not so frustrating. It was, you know, those things I got, I didn't pay for. I took the opportunity to get it and see if there was something I could do with it. You know, I've kind of mastered how to get into them now. You know, some of them, they use different techniques to put them together, hidden screws, screws that you might not have, you know, the correct one because it's special, you know, security things or real weird ones. I did get a set a long time ago that covers about all of them because there's really some strange ones like you have to have a triangle tip on it or one with two prongs and then there's various sizes of those. And that kit kind of covered everything. So I don't have any problem opening them up anymore to look inside to see what's wrong with them or see if there's something. I know what's wrong with it, it doesn't work, you know, to find out why it isn't working. But, you know, I'm kind of cost conscious so, you know, some devices I won't smash to pieces but I will get them out of my sight permanently if it's at all possible.

I've done that a couple times. But I also try not to just let myself anger-wise because I'm a good guy. I'm 6'1\", 6'2\", and 200 pounds plus. Excuse me, sorry. I burped. But so when I get angry, things break. I try to control that. But I've had a couple items that I've gotten upset with and took them apart piece by piece. And then once they're all in pieces and I gutted them, then I throw them away with extreme prejudice. But haven't done that in a while. I usually end up donating stuff. But my grandkids are pretty well taken care of. Sometimes I'll donate things to students. And sometimes I'll donate to Goodwill. But very depressing. A lot of stuff that I thought I believed in Goodwill that might have gone out and found at home. My friend who works there says some of that stuff just gets thrown away. So I'm like, maybe I should just have a yard sale and price it really cheap. And maybe somebody will come along and make good use of it. But if there's a time that I'm home, I'd have to try to make sure I was home on a weekend. I usually end up getting home during the week, because that's the best time for getting a student trained or getting a student tested and getting a next student. So thinking about it, because I've got a bunch of stuff that's in the storage that I need to get taken care of. So we'll see what happens. But with that, if Stu's still here, hasn't gone to second breakfast, I'll pass it over to Steve.

So okay this is where there might be a little bit of relevance because I've been trying to get as much details as possible about the pending strike that may happen with Air Canada and it's been stressing out a lot of other Canadians because you know they're worried about their flight being canceled and some of them are wanting to switch over to other carriers and other outlets to sort of combat the problem that they think they're gonna have. So my question of course to anybody is the answer is has there ever been a strike situation that's affected you because it's a phenomenon that happens a lot in Canada where there's civil obedience you know especially the thing now with Canada Post that's yet another thing that we have to face there's a harbor there's a boating crisis that's happening out on the lakes and now with Air Canada and it's something that happens to us a lot to where certain aspects of our daily living is affected when people strike out so has it ever affected you personally where you live so that's kind of topical just because I've been looking up stuff on it I'll be able to pull it up a little bit more than a little bit more than one little bit more than one.

One of the, one of the, one of the workers, old time workers, he didn't go out on strike, he stayed there and did dock sales.

Let's see if I remember. I'm going way back here and I've been impacted quite a bit from strikes. Before, when I was really young, my cousin, I, and some of my family, you know, and probably one of the reasons why I ended up working for the phone company, they had worked. And my cousin, before, you know, I was old enough to have a job, was on like the longest strike. Back then, you know, it was the Bell System owned by AT&T. So it was nationwide. And before they settled on a contract, they were out for months. You know, there was no telling how that was going to end up turning, you know, what the resolution of that was going to be. He ended up going back to work but he would remember going to the telekinesis and he was working there for a while in the meantime. And they finally settled though and he went back to work. Now, after I started working there, there's been about three strikes. And then like you're out, right, three strikes. You know, maybe that's why they ended up breaking the, breaking up AT&T into just many segments because they didn't want to deal with strikes anymore. Could be. Anyways, the first one didn't last very long and everybody went back to work, you know, within a matter of days. The second one lasted a really long time, like weeks. And I remember, you know, I was home and my first wife came home from work and saw me, you know, and it wasn't going to cut it with her, you know, me being home all day on my ham radio, you know, and no money coming in because you don't get paid during a strike. So I had to figure something out. I didn't find a paying job but I did get a big advantage because a ham friend who's a silent key now, he was an air conditioning man. And I got with him and I went with him on a lot of his calls and I learned a lot about air conditioning. How to, you know, put together the copper pipes with the solder and the torch and everything. And that came in handy later to know how to do that and how he put the Freon in and how he replaced the compressors and stuff. That doesn't have anything to do with the strike. But that's how it impacted me. I actually learned a skill that I wouldn't have otherwise known. You know, he wouldn't pay me, of course, for that. I didn't help, you know, maybe a little and the payment I got was to learn a little bit. And then after the other strike, that one didn't last long enough that I had to take any actions other than, you know, just to wait it out. The alternative is to go, you know, to the picket lines, you know, because the union has an organized picket line. You contact them, they give you the schedule and you're supposed to be there and the signs to keep people who are supposed to be on strike and go to work anyway. Well, you know, if they do that, they have to cross the picket line. So I guess, you know, strikes have impacted me quite a bit. I know that when I was in Miami after I moved from Brooklyn, New York had the biggest garbage collection strike in history. And I was watching pictures of how the garbage was collecting on the corners piling up in front of people's houses and it looked awful. And I remember thinking that, boy, I'm sure glad I don't live there anymore. That one directly didn't impact me. But those strikes can get pretty fierce before, you know, they settle on the contract. And those are several that I know about, you know, in my lifetime. Some affected me more than others, one a great deal. AA-4-H-O on Miramol, Florida.

I hit the button and my needle wasn't moving. Yeah, I'm old enough to remember strikes. They had a newspaper strike here in Portland back in the late 50s, and there were people killed. It was pretty serious, and they broke the union. The other thing I was going to say, here in the U.S., there's the Taft-Hartley Law, and the president can force people back to work, like if it's a big thing, affecting the country enough. Like a railroad strike, something like that, he could have voted for Taft-Hartley Law. I haven't heard nothing about it on the news ever lately, but I'm old enough to. I don't remember who. Somebody did it. I don't know if it was Truman or Kennedy or Nixon. One of the presidents, I think, did invoke Taft-Hartley Law. I don't know if they have anything like that in Canada or not. Anyway, that's my two cents. Santa Mel's going to go get some breakfast here pretty soon. Kiva Bravo 7, Papa Victor Whiskey.

So actually I went to Google and I think that's a testament to how accurate some of that information can be because the one that came up, the strike that came up as the worst was only 18 days in 1968. Now I know there's something wrong with that because I was 13 in 1968 and the strike, I remember I was a lot younger than 13. So I guess maybe if I went to some other platforms they might find it. And it's possible because I remember this and I was really young and maybe my memory is clouded from that time. That is entirely possible. So I don't want to put on any information that isn't valid. That's why I checked up on myself to ask Google if they, just for the fact that I wanted to know how long it was. I remember one that lasted for months. I don't know if I'm mistaken or not now. I'll check later. I didn't have enough time since the last time I was up to look more into it. So let's see. That's it for today. Everybody have a nice rest of the day and my Sunday tomorrow. Let's not think about that. We have all of Sunday to go yet. But I'll be on tomorrow morning and I think Gray is going to be in that control. He must have shuffled some things around. I'll look on Discord and see if he's got any questions. By the way, I have put pictures on Discord and on Facebook for the two drop in about the possums that were on the fence that I saw when I went out one evening out my side door and there were two of them there and I put the three pictures on the two platforms for people to look at. As they say on Reddit, pictures always didn't happen. I happened to have them so I put them up so people could see I mentioned it.

People are using golf carts to do errands and shopping around, probably not long distance, but it might be a good topic sometime. Would you use a golf cart in the neighborhood or maybe your shopping is not too far away? Would you use a golf cart, my nearest thing, or a couple of miles away? Well, HRO is only two miles away, so maybe I could drive it down to check out HRO. That would be kind of fun. We have scooters. I'm really a little bit scared to take a scooter that far, but we'll see. KV7, PBW, 7 degrees everybody. Back in there. Okay, well put a pencil on these next questions I have. I copied some new ones and some new ones while you guys were talking on the last couple of overs. We'll have lots of more questions left and I've had a lot of fun. Thanks a lot for everyone's participation here today. I couldn't do it without you and I wouldn't want to. You make those nets. It would be boring if I was here talking to myself.

Yeah we'll see how that goes. I've got a friend that's going to help me go through things and throw them out. Throwing out is going to be the main thing at this point because there's just too much stuff to throw into a moving van so at some point all the junk from the house is going to have to go from in the house to out of the house. The only question is can I reuse moving boxes? If we use a razor blade or something I'm guessing if the boxes are sturdy enough then I can just pack stuff in and reuse the boxes. I don't know, we'll have to see. This is a basement job right now. I've got a huge amount of boxes in the basement and a huge amount of boxes in the garage. A lot of the garage stuff is antiques that I acquired so I'm not sure what I'm going to do because what's going to happen is I'm just going to take the antiques and move them from one place to the other place and I don't really have time to eBay and things like that. We'll have to see what I'm going to do. Do I have enough backbone to just throw stuff out even if it has some value? We'll have to see how that goes. Thanks for the extra check in there Bill. I appreciate it. I think we have the Michigan net at 10 is that what happened so I don't want to go over the time. Anyways, thanks for throwing it back to me. Wishing you a good Sunday.

I'm speaking to you with the Raspy Voice today from Coal Canyon, Arizona where we're experiencing a cool front. We're only going to get up to about 100 today. Tomorrow we'll be back up in the 105-108 area again. I mentioned the Raspy Voice because yesterday I'm a member of the Superstition Amateur Radio Club, which is a fairly large club. There are many clubs in the Phoenix Valley. I just kind of randomly pick this one because they're meetings where they're closest to me even though it still takes 45 minutes to get there. They have about 225 members. A typical meeting is maybe 50 or 60 people showing up. Yesterday at the Oregon Pizza place, which is a museum for the antique organ, I'll mention that a little bit more, was the Amateur Radio Club annual meeting to recognize the volunteers and the members and the achievements and giving certificates and awards and recognitions and shaking hands and all that kind of stuff. It was closed to the public. It was a closed meeting for the Superstition ARC. It was the first time for me to be there. I was especially interested because it was being held at a building that was made especially for a war literature organ that was built in the 1920s and used in New York back in the time when the cinema industry, all the movies were silent. Theater organs were used to provide some audio during the silent movies. Anyway, this organ was used in the purpose of New York. I don't know what city or etc. Then a special building was built for it and it was moved here in the 1970s. I'm not sure. It has to be a special building because of all the air pumps and the pipes. I don't know how many, 25,000 pipes or whatever. It's a huge building. I'm glad I went. They also serve pizza. It was a lot of fun. I'm glad I went with one exception. I'm speaking with a raspy voice because nearby was a lady who was coughing and wheezing. During the night, I guess, I kind of took it to a halt. I'm going to break for a second."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-17T07:09:51+00:00","id":17765,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":17764,"text":" K5E is the FBI's attorney and I'm not going to go to church today, stay home and not expose anybody in case I am coming down with something bad.

Then there was a really really nice looking, I think it was a 2002 Thunderbird there had the porthole windows on the hardtop. It had hardtop, soft top, it could even go convertible she said. And she was looking to sell it. I'm thinking, imagine how much she wants it and then she told me what she wanted and I said unbelievable. You know about half of what it could go for easy. But anyway $21,000 she said I didn't have that much in my pocket I probably would have drove it home. But anyway, and I'm not a super Ford guy I'm more of a Chevy Chrysler but you know such is life I guess.

But, yeah, we had the key professor from UC Irvine came out and actually did some work with us and informed us that we're just losing a couple students to graduation, but we're adding about 20. So now we're going to be well over 80 students that are working on this aircraft. So the fuselage is starting to look like an airplane and coming together with all the sides and the parts. And before we know it, we'll be attaching the tail section to it. So I'll take a few pictures and see if I can't get those posted. And the engine team has got two of the cylinders back on, and they've got that routine down, so the others should go back on pretty quickly. And they're in the middle of designing a new engine rack for it because we're going to be adding a lot of weight onto the front with a radiator and a propeller out there. So anyway, it was a full day. We had a safety briefing and a pizza party, so that was really great. And one of our folks, his wife, baked up a bunch of goodies, brownies, and all sorts of muffins and things, so we just had a great time there and enjoyed it.

Anyway, not much going on, just trying to get over this bronchitis. I've had bronchitis for a little over a week now and it's just kicking my butt. But fortunately, and unfortunately, but fortunately I've got the dogs to keep me busy. Unfortunately they keep me busy way too much for me to lay in bed and just rest at night time. At night time they like to come alive so after my wife leaves for work she leaves about 1.30, actually about 2.30 or so to go to work. And so we're up from, you know usually from 2.30 on. But this morning I will say they all let me sleep in a little bit so I got on the net late which I apologize for. But at least I made it because I haven't been on the net except for one or two days. And the past week it's been kind of rough week for me with the bronchitis. Anyway, not sure if you know Gina but I got a new puppy. She's about, she's just now getting to about three pounds. She was eight weeks old, got her three weeks ago and she's a little miniature pincher chihuahua mix. Mainly dominant on the miniature pincher which I never ever thought I would like one of the little rat dogs. But she is the sweetest little girl ever. She really is. She's just as good as the other pups, very relaxed, very calm, already in the routine and just loving life. She keeps me company when I'm laying down. She's right in my armpit, just with her nose on my shoulder. And the other dogs are all around me or laying on me. So if you got to be sick, be sick with your pups and have them keep you company. Anyway, that's about it. Just have my coffee, just wake it up and I'll turn it back to you again. Good morning everybody. Have a great Sunday and back to you there Gina.

So there you go. Anyway, I'm just working out here, didn't feel like riding today although it's in the upper 70s so it is kind of nice. Now up in the mountains today it's only supposed to be a high of like 62 so I may just take a drive up there and have lunch, who knows, be nice and quiet. You know they do mountain biking up there and riding ski lifts and Frisbee golf, all kinds of neat stuff. So that may be my plan for today. Yesterday, I don't know if you were on yesterday but I was talking about how I felt totally hungover yesterday even though I didn't drink anything in a while.

And Austin, Manitoba is host to a Threshold Minutes reunion every year, which would have been last week. And traditionally, the hams from Braddon used to volunteer a lot, providing communications for that very large gathering. And so the following week we'd have the ham fest there. It used to be an entire weekend event. Unfortunately, it's now down to only one day. But I think they said we had 154 in attendance. We took a couple of friends of ours who are not quite amateurs with us. They seemed to enjoy walking around and talking to different people that I introduced them to that had different interests and aspects of the hobby. And of course, the walk through the Amateur Radio Museum and the Austin grounds was very nice, as well as some of the other displays that we walked in around that area.

Good question this week. Certainly for me, I've got a couple things, but SAT PC32, it's available through AMSAT, the American Satellite Research Center. There is a one-time membership fee, and you can actually use it for free, but you have to input your coordinates every time. I didn't have patience for that, so I can't remember how much it costs for your one-time membership. It will shift the frequency on your radio for Doppler in doing satellites, and also turn your antennas for elevation and azimuth as well, although I just have eight meters at the moment, so that function is not turned on. But it does a great job. I don't have great antennas, but I was able to work RS44 on sideband yesterday, and I made a few contacts, and the SAT PC32 works well.

Well thank you for step PC32. I've heard already heard of that one. But if you have a chance, take a look at the Microsoft Store and look for the one that's called satellite tracking. You can use it for almost 3 months freely with all the functions. And after that you have to register. But it's not that much expensive. It does control my 9700, the Doppler effect, so it corrects the frequency on the uplink and downlink. I don't have rotator controls like I used to have in the past. I'm using a vertical antenna, believe it or not. RS-44, whenever RS-44 is above the state of California, even from here with my vertical, I can get into RS-44 and here to contacts. Of course getting in is another question, but receiving it is quite ok. And whenever it's getting closer, of course the signal is better. So with regular equipment, standard vertical antennas, people that are aware of the satellite locations could be more than surprised to see how easy it is to receive some of the satellites and also the International Space Station. Well thank you for coming back and checking in Rick. I appreciate it and we'll certainly look forward to talking to you over the satellites.

This is only if you want technical support. But it's still got one of the best satellite trackers that I've come across. Back to you. Thank you. Thank you for your comment, Rick. Definitely I know the satellite tracking portion of the HRD software. When you look at satellite tracking, to me it's more graphical. Just like HRD does, you can track multiple satellites all at the same time. And you can have different views of the projection of the map. So you can have a global 360\u00b0 view and you can change the focus only on the globe. Take a look at it. It's worth it. I'm telling you. It's worth it. But HRD really does a great job. I have a subscription for mine. I don't remember exactly how much I paid for HRD, but I have a registered version.
