Oh, we had it yesterday down here. I'm in Chandler, Arizona, which is a Phoenix suburb on the southeast side. And we were the first ones to get it. Well, if you want to include the little ones. But the storm came from the south going to the north, which is kind of rare by the way. They usually come at a different angle. But anyway, the funny thing is the weather warnings go off on your phone. You know, like the emergency, emergency, everybody's phone goes off or whatever. And when I lived in the Seattle area, that warning never went off. Now that I live here, yeah, I've heard it a few times. It goes off to warn you of the dust storm primarily. And that's what made the national news yesterday. And I'm sure there were plenty of pictures, so I could post my own on the Internet. I have two kind of amazing short videos. One of them, my son Noah, my adult son Noah who lives with us, he goes, wow, it's getting dark. And I was like, yeah, it's getting dark. And next thing you know, our house just gets overcome by wind and dust and it's blasting around. Noah went out in the backyard. He said, I've got to go check this out for myself. I went, Noah, he went out. Five seconds later he came back in. He had a mouth full of dirt. I was like, yeah, don't do that. So I was going to say, so that was the first part. And I got some video of our house being hit by the wall of dust. It's called a haboob, by the way. Haboob, we get them down here typically before a major thunderstorm. And that's my next part. And then the monsoon came. And boy, it was, you know, picture a hurricane report when you see some news reporters standing out there getting battered around by wind. Yeah, it basically looks like that. Anyway, and I have some video of that too, of my whole backyard with all the trees swaying and rain blowing sideways and that stuff like that. And it lasts about 20 minutes of good, solid, crazy rain or whatever. And then it lightens up. And then it went for, and then we had regular, I told everybody else, then we had regular northwest rain for a couple of hours. You know, just regular, you know, northwest rain for a couple of hours. I was going to say, so that was the exciting thing yesterday. It was just a crazy weather phenomenon. Hang on, let it drop for a sec."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-26T09:19:37+00:00","id":25001,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25000,"text":" Another amazing thing, one of the reasons I love checking into this net is the connection with people. And when I moved down here a little over 3 years ago, you know, I didn't, you know, of course you don't have any friends when you move to a new area, but the connection with everyone in the Northwest via this here repeater has been so vital and I appreciate all of you for that. But on that note, you know, I used technology over the weekend in a way that hasn't been used for, for me anyway. My buddy Jeff who lives in Bothell, I've been friends with him for almost 25 years and we love to play music together. He found a program called, what's it called, Far, it wasn't Far Away, now I can't remember it. It's Far Something that allows a couple of musicians to jam over the internet as if they were in the same room. And after dinking around for hours with a different program before, we finally got it going. And the connection that I have with my buddy Jeff to be able to get on the computer and play along and play in real time, we played for hours yesterday. Just playing, playing, playing, just rock and roll playing all kinds of songs and that kind of stuff. So technology man, where it is? Today it's 86 right now by the way going up to about 92. Today it's going to be pickleball weather perhaps, but I'm going to do that tomorrow when it's only going to be 99. And we'll get that going. Sorry to hog so much of the net with my weird and exciting news. So anyway, Bill thank you. Good to hear you. NR70. Yes, the connections on the steps are valuable. They change over the years which is kind of interesting. The net regulars even change. But there's, let's see, Dave of course has been checking in on the control host for a long time and due, likewise. And let's see, I think that's about it this morning.

But I don't want to eat it raw, so I'm going to cook it in the soup. How about that? So I dropped in a tomato to augment the soup and a whole onion. So that'll be my lunch. And what else am I doing? I'm going to do something with radio. I have a number of projects that are in the queue. And one of them, which has been kind of sitting there, I got a notice from Let's Get Ready, Bob, done in Los Angeles. Said, yeah, version 4.0 for the 878 is out because they decided to discontinue the satellite project. And you'll have increased performance if you go to, you don't have to, he said, but if you do, if you go to 4.0, other things will improve. And so that's been sitting there for a while.

Well I found something quite interesting. First time I ever ran across this. What was it about a month and a half ago, two months ago, I bought me a 65 inch television with a home theater sound bar and the sound bar is also Visio so Visio TV, Visio sound bar. They got this thing called Quick Fit and it's a little and that's where you can screw these little thumb screws on the bottom of your TV and slide the sound bar on them. So the sound bar actually attaches to the TV. I tell you what I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. Great sound. Sounds like you're in a movie theater but that TV had grim ones inside of it and it would freeze up, become non-responsive and all that kind of stuff. So I spent about, I don't know, maybe a total of five hours on the phone with the warranty department. They wanted me to try this, then try that, try that, try this, try this. The next day they tried to run me through the same scenario. Try this, try that, try that, try that, try that. The third day they tried to run me through the same scenario, I told them, wait a minute, I'm done. Send me a new TV or my attorney is going to have a happy meal. And I'm also recording this phone call and I got videos of the TV acting up with the grim ones. So you're going to replace this TV or the next person you're going to hear too is my attorney. I'm going to let the repeater reset. So anyways, they went ahead and replaced the TV. Oh man, I tell you, this is the part that I never ever ran into in my life. These little thumb screws that screw on the bottom of your TV, they're specialized screws that the sound bar attaches. Well, when the warranty people took out my old TV, I told them to wait. I had to grab those thumb screws. Well, I think they were Russian or something like that. Didn't quite understand English. So anyways, when, after I got my TV hung up, I walked out my door to grab those thumb screws and they were gone. I tried to chase them. They were gone. They took off with my thumb screws on my old TV that mounts that Vizio sound bar. I tried to get ahold of Vizio. They do not stock that part. Only, I don't understand it. I never knew a company that never stocked parts. That's like Tinwood not stocking extra microphones or cords or power cords or the little screws that screws the radio to the back. I found that very, very odd. I searched and searched. There's nowhere I can get them. But you know what? I called the people that delivered the TV and they went and looked. They found them and they drove all the way from, what was that, Redmond? All the way up here just to deliver them. My God, I was so happy. I was so happy. I had to give them, I had to buy them lunch for that one. So delivery service is real good. But Vizio, they need to start stocking parts for their merchandise. But anyways, that's about all I got to say. If anybody owns a Vizio, make sure you keep your parts because they do not stock parts. They'll sell you a remote, but not parts.

Handed that quickly. Alright, well, here I am driving in my car with my new antenna set up. Yesterday I installed this lip-mount antenna with a 2-meter 440 antenna on it. Let's see, I'm trying to remember. This is the... Oh, I forgot the brand. Geez. How can I be so lazy as to forget things like that? Anyway, when I'm running my radio, I'm using my old TYT TH9800. Not the one that you'd give me, but the one that I've had for a long time. And it was weird because I've just got it plugged into the cigarette lighter, so I've got it running on medium power. But when I first turned it on, it was okay the first day, but when I turned it on last evening, it was giving me kind of a motorboat noise for several minutes, and then that finally went away. And then again this morning it did the same thing. And I guess it clears itself up, so that's a good thing. But anyway, this is just a temporary setup anyway with the radio sitting on my seat. I will be working on a more permanent setup over the next week or so here. Actually, I'm really anxious to find out what the configuration is of that new Kenwood 590 version radio when it finally comes out because I would want to set that one up permanently, and I'm going to build an enclosure that will go in the engine compartment that seals it up. Anyway, long story, but I've got to work all that out. But I don't want to buy an enclosure until I find out what the size of the new main unit is so that I don't get an enclosure that's large enough for that, in case that happens to be a larger enclosure than the current series of radios from Kenwood. Anyway, kind of blathering here. Looking at the rotoscope, looks like I'm coming in pretty well on this new antenna setup, so I guess I'll be happy enough with that. I'm going to do some extensive testing at some point, but not today. I'm going to compare it with the roof mount and the mag mount because I'd had really, really good luck with that on my old Kia Soul. Anyway, do a comparison. I'd like to compare stuff, find out what really works. This antenna got mounted on the back end of my hood, so the engine hood is mounted on the lip of the rear. I'll quit with that, and it's a beautiful sunny day, not quite as high as yesterday, so 82 according to my thermometer on the car.

But I don't think they saw me, but I got a picture of the wild bobcat roaming around Arlington. And it's called a bobcat because it's the Jeep Gladiator with a Hellcat. I think it's a Hellcat engine. But it's a bobcat because they bobbed the bed of the truck. So hence the mean bobcat. Anyway, so I took a picture of that. I'm going to have to go post it to their website and say that I saw them creeping around my town. What else? Yeah, just here working and lurking, doing my thing, looking forward to the long weekend. I took Friday off, so I have an extra long weekend. Word on the street is that we're going to try to go down and meet with the estate on Friday, maybe, or sometime over the weekend to make the initial assessment to see what's going on there. But don't have any definitive plans as of yet. So that's about all I've got going on, Jack. Thanks for hosting, and thanks for getting me in. And stay cool. KJ7RAB, back to neck control."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-26T12:50:14+00:00","id":25158,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25157,"text":" All right, well you try to stay cool as much as you can So I got a question though because I for some reason think that Jacob likes mentioning You know crazy cars and crazy engines and all that stuff of course He does you know he's turning 20 pretty soon, but he's still in that mode He just loves this stuff which is great because I think it's just gonna last him all his life, but the Hellcat engine Is that available with a Jeep Gladiator Can you just order one up with that or is that something I think that the Hellcat was from the one of their cars?

Works with all US LTE carriers. Service plans start at $6 a month. Has a USB-C rechargeable internal battery. Supports 2.4 N5 Gig Wi-Fi. It is very small. It will fit inside your shirt pocket. And it's only been used twice. And is no longer needed. Works great for portable or mobile notes or digital hotspots. Let's see, asking $40. Shipped in the US lower 48 and PayPal only. And Charles' email is kc6ufm at gmail.com. And the second listing is from your WB9 CSP in Paris, Texas. Richard has a Yasu FTM 1802M. Looking to trade it for either a Yasu FT7800 or FT7900. The 1802 works as a shredded mic cord but the mic still works. And Richard's email is WB9CSP at amateurwire.org. Or you can call him at 347-395-0930. And that is it for this week. If you have anything for sale, trade or want, just go to EastCoastReflector.com, contact ECR and SwatNet submissions. Alright, and I guess I'll answer tonight's question.

It counts as part of their outreach to the general public of which we are a part, so all check-ins are definitely appreciated. I take check-ins several ways. I take them over the air, of course. I take them via NetLogger. So if you have NetLogger, I will see your call sign pop up in the AIM window and get you logged in right off the bat. I also am on YouTube, so if you happen to have YouTube or are listening in via YouTube, you can check in via that way. I'll take check-ins through the chat. I also take them via email for anyone out there that's listening that can't check-in some other way. My email address is ki0ar at ki0ar.com. And just give me your first name and a location and I'll put you on a list. If you have a call sign, add that in your email as well. Speaking of which, I will go ahead and acknowledge several check-ins via NetLogger. We got Ken, N-V7-S-S, thanks for checking in tonight. K-I-7-P-K-L, thanks for checking in tonight. David, W-E-8-M, thanks for checking in tonight. We got Rip, K-3-X-O, thanks for checking in tonight. And we got J-A-I-7-O-F, thanks for checking in tonight.

In fact, I learn something new every net as well and I'm the one that's running it. I always like to share the knowledge with everybody as well. How I run it is I'm obviously taking check-ins, got some quick announcements, got some local astronomical news, got some bulletins and a rock report. After that, I like to go down the list with everybody to see what they have to share astronomically, whether they've got questions, articles they've found or observation reports, especially observation reports. I like to hear what everybody is looking at from around the world for sure and their particular location. Sometimes we don't see on this side of the planet things that happen on the other side and vice versa. In fact, we got something like that coming up next month as well. We'll talk about that just briefly a little bit later. Right now, I'd like to touch base with the new check-ins. Zach, KI5UDU, you're listening on the radio.

If you wish to subscribe to the email version of my newsletter, please send me an email to KI0AR at KI0AR.com and request to be put on the list or you may visit the website at www.KI0AR.com slash astro.html and at the top of the webpage is also a spot where you may submit your email address and get subscribed to the email version of the newsletter as well. If you don't want to remember all that, just Google my call, sign KI0AR and you will find a whole bunch of links, including links to the webpage and the newsletter. I also publish a monthly astronomy news, excuse me, I already did that. I also volunteer with a youth group called the International Association for Astronomical Studies, a youth group that meets out of Strasburg, Colorado on Friday evenings from 6 until 8 pm, always looking for new members, freshmen through senior high school, students interested in astronomy, amateur radio, high power, rocketry, remote control aircraft, flying full scale aircraft, construction, archaea astronomy, radio astronomy and building launch communications. More than welcome to visit our website at www.iaas.org for more information or visit us on Facebook under the same name, the International Association for Astronomical Studies.

Let's see, on Mondays and Wednesdays Jack, there he is. Captain Jack is up in Laramie so we got you on the list Jack. SKE Zero VH has a weekly flight simulation on YouTube so if you have YouTube and you like flight simulations you may want to hop on to Jack's channel. Captain Jack Flightsim.

I'm going to go ahead and get into the local astronomical news for this tail end of August. May have a few things for, to look forward to in September as well, but right now we'll finish up with August. We had to start off as usual with the phases of the Moon. We had a new Moon back on the 23rd. We have got a first quarter Moon coming up on the 30th. Actually, this is the second first quarter Moon of the month. The first quarter Moon was back on the first. Alright, let's see, was at perigee, its closest approach to the Earth this month. Back on the 14th, it was 229,465 miles from Earth. The Moon will be at perigee, it's, excuse me, it will be at apogee, its farthest point away from the Earth this month on the 29th. It will be 251,374 miles from Earth. Planetary highlights for August. The longer nights of August beckon with several treats this month. Saturn and Neptune undergo their second conjunction of the year appearing together in a low power telescope. I believe telescopic observers also get two shadow transits of Titan across Saturn. Early risers enjoy a spectacular conjunction of two brightest planets in the sky, Venus and Jupiter back on the 12th. We missed some of those conjunctions, but those planets are still very visible in the morning sky. The same day, let's see, the Perseid's meteor shower also peaked, so if anybody was out there and had got to see some of the Perseids this year, I'd love to hear those observational reports."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-26T18:26:46+00:00","id":25277,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25276,"text":" Let me go back just a little bit. Looking into September, on September 7th, we've got a full moon occurring, a total lunar eclipse. However, those of us in the States will not be able to see that. That is occurring on the opposite side of the Earth, centered basically on India, north and south, all the way from pole to pole, and extending across Asia, most of Africa, Australia. So the eastern hemisphere is going to get to see that particular full lunar eclipse. It may be broadcast on the Internet somewhere, so you might be able to look at that that way. We can look forward to at least maybe chasing that via the Internet coming up next month. That will be Sunday, a week from this coming Sunday, so we'll look forward to that. And this is PI0, AR Net Control for the Colorado Astronomy Net, continuing with planets. We've got Mercury. See, Mercury was at greatest western elongation, or about 19 degrees west of the Sun on the 19th. That's actually meaning it's leading the Sun, so it's going to be as high as it was going to get in the east. Mercury is now rising about 5.30 a.m. by month's end. Mercury is visible about 30 minutes before sunrise, just above the eastern horizon.

The magnitude scale is an inverse logarithmic scale, meaning as the magnitudes go up, the object's apparent brightness decreases by a factor of about 2.5. The dimmest object that the human eye can see under optimal conditions is about 6 magnitudes. A magnitude 5 object is about 2.5 times brighter than a magnitude 6 object, while a magnitude 7 object is 2.5 times dimmer. Any object with a magnitude greater than 6, you will definitely need binoculars or a telescope to find. Anything less than that, with the exception of the sun and maybe the moon in cases, take a look at those objects with a telescope or binoculars. You can put out lots more detail, obviously, with an optical aid. We've got Venus rising about 3.52 a.m. by month end. Look for Venus to the southeast about an hour before sunrise. Venus has moved into the constellation of Cancer, shining at a magnitude minus 3.9. We've got Mars setting about 8.58 p.m. by month end. Look for Mars to the west in the evening. Mars is in the constellation of Virgo, shining at a magnitude 1.6. We've got Jupiter rising about 2.13 a.m. by month end. Look for Jupiter to the southeast about an hour before sunrise. Jupiter is in the constellation of Gemini, shining at a magnitude minus 1.9. We've got Saturn rising about 8.22 p.m. by month end. Look for Saturn to the east late in the evening. Saturn is in the constellation of Pisces, shining at a magnitude 0.7. And that's followed by Uranus rising about 12.20 p.m. by month end. Look for Uranus to the south before sunrise.

It will be at a slightly different angle earlier in the evening, but if you are looking at them in the south, Neptune is about one or two full moon widths above Saturn.

Ceres can be spotted low to the south after midnight. Ceres is in the constellation of Cetus shining at magnitude 8.4. We got Pluto rising about 553 PM by month's end. The best time to spot Pluto is around midnight when it is highest in the sky to the south. Pluto is in the constellation of Capricornus shining at magnitude 15.1. Actually now is a good time to spot Pluto because the moon will not interfere. However, clouds will and the smoke out here in the west as well will definitely interfere with viewing Pluto but the moon will not. You will definitely need to get away from sea lights and get under dark skies and need at least a 12 to 15 inch telescope to spot it. As always, good luck in spotting Neptune, Ceres and Pluto. Our telescope and dark skies will be needed. Now, a 5 inch telescope will put out Neptune pretty well. Ceres may be an 8 inch telescope. Pluto is definitely around the 12 to 15 inch or better in size and lots of patience. Okay, we are at the tail end of a couple of meteor showers. The northern delta Aquarius meteor shower extends from July 16th through September 10th. Maximum occurred back on the 13th. So you may be able to catch a few of those over the next couple of weeks. There will be very few. The Perseus meteor shower, you may be some of those lingering but that was from July 23rd through August 22nd. That peaks back on the 12th. Yep, you may be able to see some of those stragglers but it is pretty much over for that. We do have a comet, comet C2024E1, which is passing through the constellation of Hercules this month shining around 12 magnitude. So a 10 inch scope or better will be needed to spot that one end under dark skies. Again, more patience for sure. Okay, that is it for the local astronomical news.

They are all early morning passes passing very close to the north. Further north you might be able to see those but one thing I like about this particular website is I can click on a particular date and it shows up a nice 8.5 by 11 pass of an ISS.

From NASA, Ceres may have had long standing energy to fuel habitability. The dark planet is cold now, but new research paints a picture of Ceres hosting a deep, unlived energy source that may have maintained habitable conditions in the past. New NASA research has found that Ceres may have had a lasting source of chemical energy. The right types of molecules needed to fuel some microbial metabolism. Although there is no evidence that microorganisms ever existed on Ceres, the findings support theories that this intriguing dwarf planet, which is the largest body in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, may have once had conditions suitable to support single-celled life forms. Some data from NASA's Dawn mission, which ended in 2018, previously showed that the bright, reflective regions on Ceres' surface are mostly made of salts left over from liquid that percolated up from underground.

So I went back and it didn't take me long to get the Coast Guard song, but then when I went to try and play it out on the street I couldn't make the transition between the two. So I've got to work on it a little more, but by the time I'm done it will include my little military medley will include the Coast Guard hymn. And then I tried to find the Space Force one on Amazon Music and I couldn't find it. I don't know what the darn thing is called. So that makes it hard for me to bring it up on Amazon Music. Other than that, let's see, I went up to Edmonds and played and made not a darn set, but I could see some nice people. And then I came home and worked on some writing and I'll finish up after listening to this part of the net and do a little practice before bedtime. And then I'll go to bed and put it all over again tomorrow. So there we go. Anyway, 733388 is all the numbers. Thanks Paul for running that and thanking all the rest of you for listening. Ramble on.

In my case, my left ear started about two weeks ago when I went to the hospital and said, you know, I think I'm missing about two or three or four percent hearing in my left ear. What do you think, Doc? And we looked in there and said, well, there's a lot of wax in there. So let's start irrigating that hand here, a little squeeze with warm water, and he started a little heat, I think it was, started. And I left there with less hearing than I came in with. I went from 90, 95 percent to half, and within a day or so, I was down to no hearing in my left ear. And so I went to the emergency walk-in clinic, and they took the same approach, you know, taking the warm water, swerving in there, being around, and that just caused a lot of pain. So here we are, the clinic will be three weeks. I finally went on the internet and got some, it's not the loss of hearing, because I'm a part of it.

I had one friend that I took to a medical appointment up in Arlington this morning. This afternoon I had another friend take to a medical appointment. They took some tests and took some x-rays or whatever the heck it is they do. Then they said she had to go to another place for another appointment and I took her there. Then from there they said she had to go to the hospital and get an IV or some such. I'm waiting at the hospital because she doesn't have any transportation. I'm down in Valley right now. That's what I'm doing down here hanging out in Valley. It's a beautiful night out. Talking about delays in getting medical treatments. It was only about a month ago that I signed up for Medicare. I've been eligible. I've had my Medicare number for about three or four years but never bothered getting a physician. Anyway, finally got a physician at the University of Washington. It turns out though that I don't get to see my doctor until my first checkup. My wellness checkup isn't until April of 2026. That is ridiculous. I guess somebody's doctor is a little backed up. Anyway, that's my report. Hopefully I'll have been told my wellness checkup to make sure that I actually am well. I'm just trying to get some general stuff out of it.

Hey Paul I'm doing good, I'm actually over in Leavenworth, staying here for a few days and boy was it hot out here today, it was over 100 when I got here, but it's finally cooled off to the point where I can be outside. But when I got here I pulled up the live stream for the Starship launch and I was watching that and they finally got a Block II Starship to get all the mission objectives done. Had a perfect launch and deployed some dummy satellites and on re-entry it looked like something in the mission bay might have exploded but it didn't affect the re-entry. Things got a bit toasty though, they still got some work on that heat shield to do. That was a very cool video to watch, it's amazing how they get live video all the way through re-entry now. Pretty much every other spacecraft has had a major radio blackout during re-entry but the Starship is so big it punches a big enough hole through the plasma to get a radio signal back out.

Okay, that's good. So let's see. I picked up a, I think it's a Pi4B Jeff at K9LKU. I have lunch with him a lot. And Kip Anderson, the photographer who did 20% of the Rainier Bear movie shoots. So I have plenty to talk to there with another ham. And a cinematographer at the table for lunch where I've worked in broadcasting. So there's plenty of lights and crew and grip and stage and theater and talent and all kinds of interesting war stories to trade. Oh, Kip Anderson survived a helicopter crash. Nobody survives helicopter crashes. Ask a Coast Guard person. A Coastie will tell you how many bodies they've picked up and how many survivors of helicopter crashes they've saved. There aren't very many. So yeah, there's some good stories there. We trade stories of broadcasting and cinematography. And the Rainier Bear movie is going to play Thursday at the Blue Mouse. I saw it last week at the Edmonds Theater. And then two days later, because they had a trailer for the Phoenician's Game, I saw that, a classic Wes Anderson film. Love that. And Blue Mouse in Tacoma for Thursday is sold out for the Rainier Bear movie. It plays next weekend at the Rose in Port Townsend for three days during Labor Day weekend. So much for the ferry trip to do that. And it might play, it's playing at Friday Harbor in October sometimes. So maybe I'll see it there again if I see it again. But I'll go to Tacoma to pick up the poster I ordered rather than ship it for six bucks up here and talk to them. Maybe they got Blu-rays of that movie. It's worth it. It is a supreme movie about local stuff. And all the locations are in the scenes for like the frog shoot. They've got the lat-long of any shot for where the location shot they have the lat-long reading. So you can go visit and see what it looks like today after 50 years later of shooting these commercials. Anyways, enough of that. The Rainier Bear movie is good and so is Phoenician's Game.

And yeah, between that and our grand cinema here, we have two small movie houses that are actually doing really well right now. And yeah, thanks for sharing that Mike. You got me with hearing about someone who survived a helicopter crash. I know, yeah. You know, it's funny people are afraid to fly in planes. And planes are very safe. And small aircraft, you know, they're riskier. But still, fairly safe. Helicopters, as much as I would love to fly in one, I would take the opportunity. I do know that they, yeah, helicopter crashes, when that thing doesn't want to fly, it falls. So that's pretty scary. But it's pretty interesting that he survived it.

Also, on September 13th, up in Everett, the Zero Retries Digital Conference. It'll be a conference on a lot of the developments in digital developments in ham radio. Lots of different variety of discussions and demonstrations. Networking, IP400 networking, the M17 digital voice and data system, and lots, lots more. So lots of opportunities to connect.

And we're doing some work and turning on the radio and listening to the astronomy net earlier on the Colorado Sky Hub. And that's always fun on Tuesday nights. And I jumped over here and was able to jump into the TSRT net. And I'm using a radio that I haven't used in a while. One of my old favorites, Kenwood TM742. Hopefully it sounds good. And I haven't turned this guy on in a while. So let's get the cobwebs out of him and get him on the air here. It's kind of nice because I can listen to more than one All Star note on it because it's a multi-band radio. So that's kind of cool. Anyway, thank you much again.

There are some flood warnings around and I believe that is what we call the Hillsborough River. They used to live in Hillsborough County and there is a flood warning for the county there and one for another county on the other side of that Manatee. We are in Pasco County and luckily there's been no warning for us that we're far enough inland and away from the river that where we are right now we would be okay. The only problem we have is we've been having a lot of rain and I think that's the problem in Hillsborough and Manatee. The river is quite full and I'm glad I don't live there now.

Hey, Paul and the rest of the net, K7, K7H. Brian in Marysville. Very interesting day today. Work was normal and stuff. I actually started yesterday. I got a call from a really good friend. He's having some alcohol dependence issues and was trying, just realizing that and was kind of reaching out to me. I don't think I've ever shared my story on that and maybe a deeper story for another net. But yeah, anyway, he was getting some shakes and that kind of stuff. So I was giving him some advice on what to do and don't try to just do it yourself. You need to go to the hospital and yada, yada. So apparently about 2 a.m. he did go to the hospital. So I went down there today and basically he's detoxing and having some pretty hardcore hallucinations and not good stuff there. So anyway, luckily he did check himself in and hopefully he's going to be just fine. I've been texting with his wife and stuff and hopefully he's okay there. But as someone who's gone through that scenario myself and spent three days in the ICU and I was given an 80% chance of death, I know what that's like and it can be very scary. So anyway, my thoughts are with him right now and I'm just glad that he's getting some help and some treatment there. And so I'll probably try to cruise down to the hospital tomorrow and see how he's doing and all that good stuff there. So anyway, that was my fun day. Other than that, all is well on my side of the fence here. So again, thanks for being on that, Paul. I'll send it back to KE7KZH."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-26T21:58:23+00:00","id":25400,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25399,"text":" Well, that sounds pretty serious Brian that I'm really glad that he had someone He could reach out to like yourself to be able to give him the appropriate advice because yes You're in that That kind of state where You've got that kind of dependency where you are getting the shakes and need to get proper detox Yeah, that is That that is You know having someone who can be supportive and it sounds like you were that person which is wonderful And it's a good thing to have and Thanks for sharing that with us Yeah, I don't think you talked about that before so Thanks for Playing that up and for bringing and for being someone who can help others out in that situation I know that there are ways that you know people who haven't gone through that may Not really understand what's going on.

It was just a really good baseball game. Some really good pitching. It's just going to be really fun. Last month of baseball here I'm excited. And Brian, I just wanted to give you a high five over RF for being an awesome friend. Way to go. Tonight my family got to experience the old classic breakfast for dinner. That was really about all we had going on tonight. I got off work and my wife told me that that's what she wanted and the girls wanted French toast. So I made French toast and hash browns and we had some bacon in the freezer and used all the rest of our eggs. I just pulled it off and it was so good. Despite it being a really warm evening, it just somehow hit the spot. We had not done that in a really long time. It was very good. Anyway, that's about all that's going on over here.

You know, you mentioned that we have not done breakfast for dinner in too long. And now I bet that's probably going to happen sometime in the next couple of weeks. Sounds like you went all out with it. Although I'm imagining maybe you had some frozen hash browns or something like that. Now that I'm thinking about it, hey, if you're making them fresh, all the better. But you know, you can get some good frozen ones too. And yeah, that sounds wonderful. And a good way to use up some extra eggs maybe, which I have somehow accumulated. So yeah, either that or start practicing my omelettes again. So yeah, 73D Justin, you have a great night.

I went to start the flame back up and a big old ball of flame came and ripped my face. So I'm still recovering from that and missing some skin on my face, but all good.

But I did. I was just on the phone with my uncle and we were just talking about computers and all that. I didn't really get to talk to him. And he got, last time I spoke to him it was pre-COVID and he got really sick with the virus there and he's finally getting better. And he was actually recently released from the hospital after being in there for around five years. I can congratulate him on that. But I was speaking to him and he worked in IT until he had to leave. But he told me a funny story where the company he was working for, they had a cloud, you can say a cloud server basically. And that cloud server was in a non-climate controlled room in an office building that they didn't even own. They were leasing a spot in that office building and that was non-climate controlled hosting three cities nearby. This was in Alberta and it was hosting Calgary, Edmonton, and Canada. And yeah, he said there was a lot of failures and you can probably assume to why there was a lot of failures going on. They had a 15 megabit per second length in an office building so many stories high, leasing a spot off so they could get started and they just never decided to switch over until when he left he got told that they switched to a data center that the company that he worked for acquired. And it's probably not failing as much as it did but it was such a funny thing to hear. I wonder how many businesses are doing that too. But I've been working on the home lab rack.

I think one of them has like 256 gigabytes of RAM, and I use that for some cloud storage, and I host a game server for like a thousand people. A funny thing, I had to run like 125 feet of Ethernet cable just to get wired Internet up here for the server. So yeah, what's your rig that you're using for your like home lab stuff? I'm using a lot of machines. Mostly Raspberry Pis are in the rack. I'm using a Raspberry Pi to get an alternate link. I did post a YouTube video yesterday about my radio rack on my YouTube channel. I got that through my call sign which is VA3FBN at the dot CA at the end. There should be a link in there to my YouTube and the speed tour of the radio rack. It's nothing special. It's just a CB radio, a Kenwood and a power supply in a Raspberry Pi. But in the home lab there's a Pi rack with around three Raspberry Pis, one is for home assistant. The other one is an ad guard, ad locker. And the other one is just a spare one. I was thinking of moving my website onto there. I am local hosting my website. I'm using a Dell EMC server. I don't remember what model but it is a PowerEdge. And that's on Proxmox hosting free PBX for my phones that I have around. I have a bunch of Cisco Voight phones. And also the website. And I don't remember the specs of it though. But yeah, that's what I'm using it for. I also have a Cisco switch in there that's 24 port. It's a 2960X. It was a really new model of Cisco switch that was running in there. It required a license and the license got pricier and pricier the more that I had on the rack. So I decided to pull it out and put it up on eBay and made my money back to get the license. But I'm using a TP-Link ER605 VPN dual WAN router.

He might be able to just drill out the bolts that are in there and then put in some new studs. And then in which case I wouldn't need the whole head, the head gasket and all that. I don't need the exhaust gasket and a head or pipe. It's difficult for him to say what exactly he's going to have to do until he's got it in front of him because there's so many different things that he could do. He could just take off the head, put on another one that's already got the studs in it, bolt up the exhaust way to go. But dependent on what condition everything is in. See, I went and put J.B. Weld on the head last year and put that on the exhaust. So he may have to cut that off. I'm not sure exactly. I don't know enough about this stuff to get into the specifics. The guy at the garage does, but I just haven't gotten it to him yet. He had a backlog and that's the only place in the city that's even relatively affordable.

If I'm a minute or two late, nobody gets panicked, I'm just going to have a quick smoke. I'll be with you guys in a second. Let's just hope when he does that that he grills it right. Because the guy when he fixed his, he didn't grill it right. And then when he put the bolt in, he had to wrap a wire in there. It never tightened up. That's why, you know, I'm sure the guy will do it right. But hopefully he'll just have to pull the motor off to the side instead of making it, you know, pulling the engine apart.

And I think they said tonight that it's supposed to be something like 9 degrees Celsius. So we're getting a cold wind from somewhere. And a lot of it, I just can't take the chill in the fingers and toes. So I turned the furnace on just to kind of get over that. And then, you know, I'm kind of watching it obsessively. So, as it gets to maybe 24 or 26, then I'll bust back on the air conditioner instead of the heat. The total opposite, right? And make sure the place is kept cool. And that's how we'll proceed. The nights are definitely getting shorter because tonight I looked it up. Sunset is at 801. So I know as we're creeping into the 7 o'clock hour, as it gets to, you know... Because I'm catching on. I caught on to it teenage years. But I'm kind of reminded of it every year when we do this. Where as we get to the... Like, you know, to where it's like 10 to 7 or whatever, it's pretty much game over. It's like, pack it in. Pack it up, pack it in. It's too late to begin. Okay, anyways. House of pain. But anyhow, so, what do you call it? There's no denying it. Your life is over. If you're expecting the summer to continue continuously, what did you think I was going with it? Okay, so, basically, it's a short time before the school year officially opens. And the CNE officially closes for another year. I guess the air show will be on Labor Day Monday. And... It's going to be kind of timely this year, right? Because September falls on Monday. And then that's funny too. There's always that little pause. Where I have to wonder if there's even a 31st this year. So, anyways. I always have to kind of think about that. Like, if there's a 31st of the month. And so, I always have to ask Alexa or somebody like that. Alright, so I'll let you carry on. Looks like you got things in full gear. You were even on a few minutes before you got rolling. So, good luck for the day. For the Wednesday. And, uh... I don't know when to look for yous. So, I'll just say it like that. I don't know when to look for yous. And, uh, good luck to everybody. And, yeah, the 2950. I had friends that used to call it the Blind Man's Radio. Because it had a big ass display on it. It ain't going to do me no good. It ain't talking about me. But it has a big, big, big display on it. I would say probably more geared for four eyes. Which is not me. Glasses ain't going to do shit for me. Okay, so peace for now. Have a good day. Back to you, Daryl. VA3KKY. You know the business."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-27T04:44:36+00:00","id":25572,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25571,"text":" First off Kevin, my God, you misquoted the once great Everlast. It's pack it up, pack it in, let me begin. I came to win, that'll mean that's a sin. And I can go on, because trust me, I was a House of Pain fan back in the day. And so yeah, there's that. I had a 2950 back in the day, before I was a ham. I had a 2950. It's a primary CV. It could listen to 10 meters, yep. It could listen to 10 meters, yep. I think 12 meters too. But its primary function paired with its perfectly tuned Antron 99 in fact, 20 feet above my roof peak, was an awesome radio back in the day. I made contacts all over the world on that thing man, with no trouble either. And it was like the 100 watt version, so it had no trouble kicking out a signal. Let me tell you, a very very nice radio. And paired with it, I had the choice of two microphones. I had a Sedelta Echo Master Plus, that desk mic with the sliders and knobs on it, boom mic, a flexible boom mic. And then I also had a Silver Eagle, a D104, yeah a D104 Silver Eagle. It was never my favorite mic, to be honest with you. I found it, I found it, it sounded flat, but everybody loved them. And if you were lucky to get the Golden Eagle, oh yeah. Anyway Kevin, you have a good day man. We're going to Josh next, KJ5 IRQ. Very good morning to you man.

Yes they are. I've been looking for those headsets for gosh, six months. I let my kids use them a year or so ago with their Xboxes and I haven't seen them since. Well my boys both decided, I think it wasn't them. I think it was their girlfriends. Anyhow, the rooms were clean. Strange. If you have teenage boys, you know that normally they don't clean. Anyhow, they cleaned the night before last Sunday night. I don't know why, but both boys ended up cleaning their rooms top to bottom. And lo and behold, I woke up and my headset was sitting on my desk. So I'm excited. I'm using them right now. I'm using the DV switch mobile app on my phone with All-Star right now because the microphone with the headset is supposed to work. I think it is. Honestly, I tried testing it yesterday evening with the parent node and I really couldn't tell. I'd walk away and walk back to it. But I think it's working. And the audio is great because it's always canceling and all that fancy stuff. And I didn't realize it, but I updated the firmware on them yesterday and now they work with my digital assistant on my phone. So all I have to do is push a button on them. MyChat's EBT, personal assistant, which I usually use, works for me real quick. So that's pretty cool. So yeah, while everybody in the world seems to be celebrating Taylor Swift and Travis or Jason Kelsey, I forget which one. Their engagement, trust me, my wife and daughter are all over that crap. They are what you would call Swifties. It's kind of sad and pathetic. It makes me want to gag. But they like it, so whatever. That's all I've heard since yesterday. Taylor Swift's getting married. Shoot, I even got on Facebook this morning. I'm like, I'm going to get on Facebook and see what's going on. I never get on Facebook. Every dang feed on there is either false advertisement or Taylor Swift. So I got right back off of that too. Thank goodness for my Discord server where I can block crap like that. As you all can tell, I'm being a little funny about it. I think it's funny how the whole world stops because one girl and one guy decided to get married. It's crazy. Anyhow, positive stuff. I'm really excited to have my headset. You know what I did yesterday evening? I was going to wait until this weekend, but I did it last night. I use a note-taking app called Obsidian. I don't know if anybody's familiar with it. It's kind of a coding, genre-y style note-taking app, but it's really powerful. It has crap-tons of plugins. I set up a sync server on my personal server so I don't have to pay those jokers like $5 or $8 a month for it to sync. I think I timed out. Sorry. I think I did time out. Maybe. Anyhow, I'll tell you more about the Obsidian thing later, but it's really fascinating because now I have it. Other than the audio capture, all I have to do is hook up the audio capture pipeline, and I can actually transcribe every one of our nets into a note that's been searchable, which I thought would be really cool. Anyhow, that's about it. I guess I'll give it back to you.

They'll be able to fix that no problem. So they are back on track.

It almost sounds like he's one of those insect people and his mandibles are clicking while he's talking. I question the wisdom of a face-to-face with him. We got the truck taken care of yesterday. They put a new reservoir on top of the radiator and hooked up the hoses. We'll find out over the next couple of days if that took care of the issue, but with the hoses and the new coolant reservoir, they should take care of the problem. We're back to it. Although, I did forget to take myself off the tablet yesterday. When they moved the truck from the shop out to the parking spot, they went over five miles an hour and put me in drive. I got a I don't think I really need to because I'll get all my hours back by the time it goes around. I talked to somebody else and they said that they were able to get a hold of Swift and they were able to take care of it, which is a change because when they first changed over to a new system, they couldn't take care of it. If you accidentally had drive time or you messed up with your student and someone drove on someone else's logbook, they said, sorry, we can't fix it. We can't change it. You're out of luck. I don't know if I want to wait because I don't need to or if I should call up so I can tell my students and give them the correct information that if they end up having in that situation that it can be taken care of now. I'll be debating that issue today. They don't get in there until another three or four hours. So I can't find out until then. But we went and saw that movie Nobody 2, the sequel to the movie Nobody and that was good. We both enjoyed it pretty loud at times, but you know, that's what happens with explosions and when they want to intensify the whoops, let me grab one. All right, intensify the feeling. They'll play loud music. Turned out pretty good. You know, Christopher Lloyd was in it and you know, all the original actors and some new ones. But it didn't have a little thing at the end. So I don't know if they're going to be making a Nobody 3, but mom came through at the end. So that was pretty good. And yeah, the Rayneo, I guess it's the XR, Rayneo 3S XR, not the Pro. I'm not sure what the difference the Pro makes, what upgrade or what extra thing it does. So, but I did finally get a chance to look at that this morning. I tried finding out, I tried finding the purchase of the headset that I ordered. I think it was a week or two ago when we were talking about it and I can't find it right off the top. So once my students start driving, I get a little extra time. I'll take another look and see if I can't find it. This is repeater station Kilo 7 November, Quebec, November. What a day yesterday. We think we walked about five miles in Shelton, Washington. We stopped at, well, my student, her allergies has created bacteria and it got on the inside of her lens and crystallized and she ended up scratching her eye when she rubbed her eye because of the lenses and the buildup on it. So she ended up going into the optometrist yesterday and he got her a new pair of contacts, discovered that, gave her some steroid eye drops to help repair the scratch in her eyeball. And so she's a lot better now as far as that goes and feels a lot better. So I'm glad we got that taken care of yesterday. But we're just heading back up, or I'm just heading back up to the yard there so we can turn in this trailer and wait for our next load. But that's the long of it and that did go long.

I use that little bit of time to give the kid a kiss. See how smart I am? Deflected it. No, just like that. That game is going to be really cool. So I did one. I'm still not done with it, like the story. I, to explain it to everybody, there is a new beta AI platform out there, just like TPT or Gemini or something like that. However, it's geared towards character and stories. So basically, you can kind of tell it what you're wanting it to do. For an example, on my case use, I thought that I wanted to experience life as a medieval peasant presented with choices that would allow me to move up or move down in my life throughout the story. So when the AI helped, I was able to give it conditions for winning, conditions for losing. You can really customize the whole thing. Anyhow, so I started that story, that game, if you will, two nights ago. I don't spend all, you know, hours on it. About 30 minutes a year. I think I spent 20, 30 minutes on it last night. And it is kind of like, I don't know if you all remember the choose your own adventure books. You read a part of a story, get to the end of the chapter, it gives you two or three options. You think you should go with and you turn to that page and the story continues. It reminds me of that, just modern. The graphics, at least mine, are comic-like, which I think is pretty cool. The words and everything are inside of it. And yes, you can, it does provide you some answers, you know, options, A, B, or C, or something like that. AI worked into mine to where I could customize my instructions. So if it gets to your choice, you know, do you pick A, do you pick B, or do you pick C, well, I can go with option D and do a hybrid or something completely different to completely change it and then it makes it a story. Anyhow, phenomenal. I think I'm going to redo one soon for the grand boy, the grandson. He's four and he can read a little bit with some help. And I think we'll do something with like, I don't know. But now he's learning how to spell colors. He's learning how to spell colors in school. So maybe we do something like that with the basic colors, you know, where he learns through reading and using it as an interactive teaching tool. Maybe we can get him ahead of his pre-K classmates on spelling colors. Anyhow, it's fascinating. So I just wanted to remind you of that, my friend. That was it. I will pass it on, KJ5 IRQ.

He doesn't let anything be. It's just he wants his orange into everything. He really does. And I mean people are saying that it's possible he's probably only got six months to live. I mean you got doctors and specialists in different things you know going on the internet and saying listen I've seen this a dozen times. What's going on with him right now? The mental state, swollen ankles, discolored hands, all of that stuff combined together. You know doctors and specialists and home care workers have seen this stuff multiple times and they say he probably doesn't have long. Now not to you know completely left aside is delusional comments and statements and stuff like how he's going to bring down the drug prices by not 500%, not 1000%, but 2000, 3000, 4000% he's going to bring down drug prices by. And his method of doing that is forcing other countries to pay more so you guys can pay less. I don't think that's going to go over well. I really don't think that's going to go over well. Canada's not going to be willing to pay higher drug prices so the United States can get lower drug prices. I can tell you that right now. We've curated our healthcare system over decades and decades and decades now to make it what it is you know relatively inexpensive meds, free healthcare. It's all part of our system you know so just a bunch of statements from some blowhard is not going to make our drugs any more expensive I don't think. I should hope not but he has had power over Canada already and with these tariffs and stuff. I mean the steel and the vehicle industries and stuff they're hurting. They're hurting because of these tariffs and Carney just removed reciprocal tariffs. I don't know why he did because the American tariffs are still in place against us so I don't know what he was thinking when everyone else is calling for a stronger retaliation and that's what I'd like to see, stronger retaliation. Like slam the man with exactly what he's doing to you, make it hurt and when it starts to hurt I think that's when he'll wake up and say you know this can't be.

And then all of a sudden there was a couple clicks here and there. And right towards the end of the recording there was some clicks, but not as much as your first transmission. So I will try to listen to that. And, oh, I wonder. Oh, you know what? I think I'm back in the other app. So that means that screen recording would leave you nothing. See, when I uninstalled and reinstalled a computer phone, I put it back in my folder, but I got the two apps. I think they're switched from what I had them before. I may have gone back into computer phone and not into Echo Link, and I'd have to be in Echo Link in order to make a screen recording so that you can hear what was going on. So that's my bad.

It seems like this fellow I follow often named Cash Jordan. He was exclusively just putting out on his feed here about what was going on in New York, with all the looting and the city not doing anything. But now he's expanded to the other cities. And he mentioned now that 39 stores were looted by a mob. Judging from the picture, there's like 25 people or more that just go in there and grab everything that they can and then run out with it. And then they go and they sell it on the street, sometimes right in front of the store that they stole it from. These business owners and the people that shop there that don't have anything left on the shelves have been going to the president pleading with him to do something about it. So I don't know how anybody would want to answer that. That was what I felt that could contribute today. Anybody who's been listening to me knows I've been battling this problem with my computer, with a Microsoft update that has a bug in it. And it doesn't look like that's not going to get fixed until, like, the 9th, when the next time the update is due. And supposedly, they said there might be a patch.

You don't know if they're going to redo the inside of the stores. That was part of the whole thing. I spent a lot of money at the store there, Cracker Barrel. We have a Cracker Barrel in town or one town over, about five miles from our house. I'm going to go to the store. The breakfast is a lot better than their lunches. Lately, they've been, I guess my wife has some issues. They'll screw up her order or they'll screw up our friend's order. There was that.

They really rely on a hunt to keep themselves in good spirits. Apparently cat depression is a thing. I didn't realize it before, but apparently it's a thing. Cats are inside all the time, they need stimulation. You know, they need to be playing and chasing stuff and just constantly going. When they're awake, they want to be going. So, several years ago when I got Shadow, like what, seven years ago now, I decided I was going to let Soso out. Soso had never been out before. And... Oh, no, I said picture, repeat, sorry. Soso had never been out before. So I let her out, and I let Shadow out. And two of them just, they love it. Shadow, Morden, Soso. He really likes being outside, but he's a bird chasing, you know, rat fighting. He's just a big old beast. And there was a big, big rat in my neighbor's driveway the day before yesterday. And I don't know if one of my cats killed it. I'm guessing they did, because it was right next to the neighbor's driveway and my driveway. So I'm assuming one of my cats knocked it off. But this freaking rat was like the size of Soso. So I'd be real surprised if she was the one who took it down. But it was like in her hangout area, she hangs out in the driveway. And that's where this big rat was killed too, so... And Shadow, he's brought me birds, he's brought me one squirrel, he's brought me rats, mice. I mean, he's a killer. And I wouldn't want to take that away from him, to be honest with you. I know there's risks in letting them out. You know, they could be chased off by a bigger animal. They could be injured, they could be eaten by something. But I hope that doesn't happen. But I figure, I mean, they're wild in nature. You know, cats are... Some of the most ferocious animals on the planet are small cats. Just look up the African black-footed cat. It's the smallest cat in the world, and it's the most fierce.

So I'm sitting back enjoying the air conditioner I got this season and I'm really happy with it. It's got the new coolant in it that's butane based and I don't notice much difference. So I think it's a good alternative to Freon and one good thing is if they start making these units for central air with that coolant, if it's coolant based with that, you don't need a license anymore. The only reason they had the license was because you have to know the proper procedure for recycling and it gets pretty involved and actually they get the certification. The test is pretty complicated because you have to know how to set the valves just right so you don't lose any Freon into the atmosphere. So it doesn't really matter if this gets out and if it works as good as my unit that I got here now with this, I'm all for it. I remember the last air conditioner that I saw that a friend of mine put in on his own. I could see the wisdom in doing it because it's really not that difficult but for so many years anybody that was capable, their hands were tied unless they had that certification because you can't buy the coolant. They were getting around with some of these other units that comes with the coolant already in and then after you put it in, you turn the valve and then it charges itself. That was a good alternative but I think the suit is better.

It's like a little unit sits outside your house, you just drill, you know, one small hole a few inches wide into the side of your house. And you run a hose through and you just connect it all together and then, like you said, you just turn a valve and it shows you on a dial, pressurized and way to go. A buddy of mine installed one of those and it was just like you just needed a small hole saw and he put the hole on one side, he went inside, lined it up, put the hole on the other side, ran the hose through, man, bit of putty around the hose and mounted the thing on his interior wall, just over the hole. You don't see the hole anymore, you don't see nothing, you just see this unit hanging on the wall inside the house. Now he's got a small house, so the mini split turns it into a fridge in the summertime and it keeps this real nice pleasant heat in the wintertime.

I know those things burn a lot of freaking electricity, man. Our electricity up here is expensive. I would want to have three of those things running, that's for sure. My parents had one a few years ago, and they weren't a huge fan of us. They had the two hoses, one that brought in air and the other that expelled the hot air that went in the window, and then the machine was just inside the window laying on the floor. It had an exhaust and an intake. Both of those went into a plate, and you put that plate in your window and you put the window down on the plate, and then you spread apart these fins to block the rest of the window. So you had both your exhaust and your intake coming from the window, which was good, because you didn't have to run any separate hoses through the house or anything like that. They weren't really a fan. As a matter of fact, I probably should get that off of next year, because if you're not using it, you may as well use it. But my place here stays relatively cool because it's a basement apartment, right? It's not like a dark old basement like you'd think in a finished apartment. And I like it.

Original plan is my sister and I were going to take over this house and pay the remainder of the mortgage, only a few years left on the mortgage, and then I would be rent free, and we could rent the rest of the house out for profit for my sister, and my free rent was going to be the real thing for me, you know, later in my years that I wouldn't have to worry about rent, so. Oh, man, if I didn't have to worry about rent, I'd be living so damn good.

And it just so happened that that Ham Radio Crusader guy, the one on YouTube, they have a net, I guess, on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. my time. And he's really not that far from me. A couple of hours, maybe three. Anyhow, so I got on there and was listening to that. I was like, okay, that's pretty cool. And I thought I'd do a switch. And I don't know why, but a switch without disconnecting, it only lasted for a split second. I mean, probably less than two seconds. But anyhow, I felt really stupid knowing you were supposed to disconnect nodes before you switched to another one. So, it can happen by accident. It did to me. I just heard you all talking about it earlier. I thought I'd tell you what happened to me. I'm probably going to say 73. It started with work. I got some things I need to do.

It was a Turo, I think, some kind of, you know, place like that. And the house was made into a couple different apartments, upstairs, downstairs, a couple houses, they're vintage historic houses. And I think I put a video up on that when that happened when I went to see my son graduate from nursing school there. But yeah, that's cool. It was a lot of fun. And wouldn't mind doing it again. But I'd have to get my wife. We've got the dogs, so it's like, eh. But we've got someone that stays at the house, so we can always leave the dogs there. So maybe I can talk my wife into taking a little trip. It's about a five hour trip, five and a half hour trip out. Spend a couple days, come back, nice little three day getaway. And we can, you know, visit my son and see San Diego again. So what else was there? Ah, can't remember. I had a pizza. The pizza was so so. That one, you know, had the scrambled eggs on it. They have another one that's a biscuits and gravy pizza. And I think I like that one better. But you know, it hit the spot. The pills that I take in the morning, all the vitamins and stuff like that, along with the cholesterol pill or whatever. If I eat them on an empty stomach or take them on an empty stomach, they tend to give me discomfort. So I always try to eat something prior or directly after taking the pills. So I got that all taken care of. And we got a message saying that Walmart's doing some upgrades or updates to their system. So today's a slow day. So that's not what I wanted to hear. One of the reasons why I got back early. So we make sure we got something today. Unlike last week when I screwed up and didn't update my PTA and they didn't think I was going to be ready to leave tomorrow. So when they made all the checks out in the morning, we ended up missing. And luckily we got a short trip later on in that day. Later on in that day. Let somebody grab one so I don't time out. All right, there's a GPS talking to me. But we got lucky if someone didn't get back in time to do their second load. So they let us have that one. But we should get something today. Just not sure what or where. But everything seems to be going good when I get up here to the terminal. I'll go to the truck wash and then check out the engine to make sure that the hoses aren't leaking and then use the sprayer to get the gunk off the block and everything. Get that all cleaned up again. And then we'll see what happens. And I'll get it checked out. I don't think I've got anything there. But we'll see.

And two separate entrances, same driveway. But they include my heat and light and Internet in my rent which is very good of them. I mean it was good of them when I first moved in here 10 years ago. But now, I mean it's just astronomically good because rent here now has gone through the bloody roof in the last few years. It's literally incredible. For what I pay here, my parents could probably get double for this place now. And that's not including any heat, light, Internet, none of that stuff. They could get double. So I very, very much appreciate the rental rate that I still get from my parents. I could understand if they wanted to increase it. They understand I can't pay no more. I'm at my limit as to what I can pay per month which is freely good of them because let me tell you if I went out looking for a spot, there is absolutely no way I could find an apartment for what I'm paying now or not even close.

So I'm grateful for the 50% reduction. That's awesome. That's not too bad at all actually. You know, 202 and a bit per month. That would be a good idea. I should mention that to my parents because I know you can get equal payment plans for 12 month equal payment plans around here and that might be something to try because that way it wouldn't go higher in the winter, the summer, or sorry it wouldn't go higher in the winter and lower in the summer. That would be nice and balanced all year round. I would think that would be more economically pleasing than double in the winter and half that in the summer.

Good morning everybody. As always I wake up and give gratitude. And, you know, I actually want to get some medication this morning so it takes me an hour to go and an hour to come back from the location I have to go to. So, that's what I had to do. And electric bill, wow. I got an electric bill in February for almost $200. February, which is a pretty cool time for us here in Florida. And I said, that is impossible. So I went and took an experiment. What I did was I downloaded, which is TECO here that I have, their pricing rate period. So they have two rates. One for the summer, one for the winter. The high peak in the summer is the hours between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. So I made sure at this point in the summer that I do not use any electricity, the least I can, at that time. So me and my husband wash our clothes, our dishes in the dishwasher. Everything we have to use is done between evening and 6 a.m. in the morning, which usually we get up at 4 p.m. so we do our dishes and all that at that time. So my high peak last month was only $130, which we would have probably gotten a $250 bill if I didn't do the things that I do. So I'm playing with TECO's cards. And for winter, which starts in November through April, high peak is 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. So one thing I do advise is to download your pricing range and play with their cards. The other thing is, you know, I oh, hold on, let me one second. The other thing that I noticed, my friend, she has a pool, and she sent her automatic pool to heat it at night, in the middle of the night. Because she says I can't take it off for six hours. She has to run it for six hours or it won't go green. So she does that at night, which is pretty good. And the other thing that I do is anything that has a red, yellow, or green light that is on all day long, and when you turn off the lights, you still see it, that is five to seven months, 24 hours, one whole year. So what I have done, because we have a lot of lightning here, I've put in all my essentials, each room has one centralized strip, and when I'm not home, I turn everything off. And that has, like I believe Von, when I came in, Von said, you know, he doesn't like giving his money away, neither do I. I mean, I like to keep it where it belongs, in my pocket. So that's another thing, is looking around to see what's left on things, or five to seven months. And, you know, I turn it off, turn it off. Anyway, this is K and 4 LBS. Back to you. Back to the night."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-27T06:42:46+00:00","id":25684,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25683,"text":" I do something similar with my power bars here, like the one from my office area, which is just a corner of my living room. It's got my computer and multiple monitors and things like that. I have on that power bar that controls all that stuff, I have a smart plug that connects to Wi-Fi. It connects to the Internet, and then there's an app. So I can set schedules where I can have all that stuff turn off at a certain time, and then turn back on and power up at a certain time. Or if these things have fuses in them, so if we're having a storm or something, I can turn off everything that's associated with it. And then if we get ducked by lightning, I'm out a little plug. Maybe that costs $10 as a fuse instead of all the gear plugged into my power bars. So I can shut all of that stuff off. Now the last time we had a really violent thunder and lightning storm, I just yanked all of that stuff. Everything got unplugged from the wall. My computer was unplugged. My office area, the home theater section, everything was completely turned off, disconnected. Because I really wasn't sure. I mean those thunder and lightning were unbelievably the worst I've ever heard in my 45 years on this planet. I say 45, but I'm 44. I'll be 45 in January, but close enough.

But it's not too bad. We use a lot of power with all the stuff that's running in here with the dryer and the dishwasher and everything that we use. Of course, I've got my radio, but I leave it unplugged most of the time unless I'm using it. But yeah, I just want to jump in and say hi and good morning to everyone from Western North Carolina.

You could have it all powered on and then you use, I don't know if you have an Alexa or a Google, you could link those apps to a Google. Then you could say like, hey, G-word, turn off the radio. And then, off it will go. And then when you use this page G-word, turn on the radio and it will power it back up for you again. I love those things. I just buy the cheap ones that don't need any hubs, just Wi-Fi switches, Wi-Fi outlets. And you come up, plug your stuff in, set up the app. And then once you get it all set up in the app the way you want it, you just link that app to Google and you are good to go for voice control. It's literally that simple to set these things up, like music. Once you get into it, man, I tell you, it's a rabbit hole, but I love it. Absolutely love it. I like that one of these infrared, smart home controllable infrared transceivers that you can put up in the corner of your room and like things that don't use Wi-Fi or smart, that need a remote to make them do things, then you can control those things and make them smart with like an IR transceiver in the corner of your room. As long as it is in direct line of sight with the devices you need it to be using, then they work really well. I think Dexter told me about those back a few years ago.

They've probably gone up now with the tariffs. You don't have to use so much litter. I'm 83 and I didn't like having to deal with emptying the litter box every week. It was just a process. So it's kind of nice now. Yeah, it's in the bathroom and I just grab it and slide the tray out and dump it in the garbage can. And about once a week it goes away in the garbage.

Hey, thanks to RQ2, Nut Control and everybody else on the worldwide friendship net. Yeah, hey Roberto, Buenos Dias. It was an awesome trip. We had rough moments. Europe is not very accessible for people in walkers. And it's, grandma got roughed up slightly in a couple of places because there weren't great like belts to secure her walker on a moving vehicle, things like that. So we really had to be very careful with her. But we had a wonderful time on the ship, a beautiful ship. And a great time in Barcelona in the two days after, the very end of the trip. We had a scooter for her to tool around Barcelona and that was beautiful and she was very impressed by it. I put pictures on the Facebook, the worldwide friendship net Facebook and Robert, if I get your email, I have your email, I have your email. I'll send you the Google drive link that has some videos which and other things, maybe some things that don't make it to the Facebook. But the Facebook has most of it. So if you can see it there, you'll see a lot of good pictures of our trip. I got to go into Nice on my own. That was one really fun excursion. And because I'm really drawn to France, I'm interested in living there after I retire. So I was very interested in going there. The only downside to a lot of these places, it was so hot and humid. I mean 100 degrees and super humid and well, anyway, not my kind of weather. But anyway, apart from the trip and do check out those pictures, it's supposed to be a cooler day today, at least in the mid 80s in the independence area. And might be some rain, looking to see what happens there. Going to have a nice calm day. We started kicking off planning already for next year's CPAC. Last night we had an executive meeting. So that's already starting for our June conference. Anyway, that's about it. That's what's going on here. It's a nice quiet Wednesday.

My brother-in-law said that he might have left some rubies and stuff and I started laughing. I bought a UV flashlight and if you look at the stones with the naked eye, you won't see anything except rocks. But if you look at them under a UV light, oh man, they dazzle with color. It's just absolutely amazing. And the reason why I'm talking about that is the UV light can also be used for kitty litter or kitty waste if you know what I mean. And it will brighten up your life, that's for sure. You need to get a UV light to look at all the cat urine, never mind. Shanna Mel, thank you for all that and good luck with that and I hope you stay on top of it as it were. Okay, I have Rosie and Bud up next but actually, Rosie had kindly requested that we take Bud first. So, we're going to go with gentleman first, K5EWH. Good morning my good friend."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-27T07:34:05+00:00","id":25734,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25733,"text":" Good morning Robert, thanks for getting me in. I tried checking in but I live in double city, Arizona. I wasn't on the net yesterday because I had an appointment with the VA in the wound care, actually at the VA hospital itself with two doctors, one on each side of me for almost two hours. The end result was good news. Not a procedure or surgery or anything like that, just checking in on my wounds from long ago. Got good news there and then by the time I left it was early afternoon and on the way home, which is more than an hour driving, I stopped at a Taco Bell or a burrito so I'd have something in my tummy. Came on home and helped Jeannie a little bit start getting ready for dinner. Then I went over and visited with a friend who lost her significant other earlier this year. We played table games and then Jeannie texted that dinner was ready so I motored back to the house and had a great steak dinner and salad. Really good stuff, good food. Jeannie's a good cook. The problem is she doesn't cook enough. Not in quantity but frequently enough because she prefers smoothies and that kind of stuff. Which I understand a thousand, that's what I do for breakfast as well. Anyway, it was a long busy day and finally at about 7.45 I couldn't keep my eyes open and I was in bed and sound asleep. With that, again, thank you for getting me in. I'm looking forward to hearing my friends here. Joyce and Joe are aware of this. I'll be visiting with them Saturday, this coming Saturday over at their house. Which also is more than an hour drive for me to get over to that Glendale area. But I'm looking forward to it. Jeannie won't be able to go with me because she has other things going on Saturday. And I am turning the net now back to you, Robert. Wishing everybody a wonderful day, 73 and 88.

And it's been horrible. It's been several days that they've been fighting with helicopters and things like that. But I don't see it from my house at all, any smoke at all. So it's up in the hills and it's above Calistoga which is further from us, from the city of Napa. And it's up in the hills, really steep terrain and they've been fighting it with helicopters and it's really sad. I see the comments on the internet. People are crazy on the internet. I mean Napa Valley, we're known for our valley but we're also known for the hills. We're in the middle of the, surrounded by hills, gorgeous hills. But they get dry in the summer and people do silly things with fire and flames and that's what happens. But they can't fight it. It's hard for them to fight because of the steep terrain and for them to get it. Hats off to the fire department. I can't imagine, we run from danger and they run into it. It's just amazing that they try to save us and our belongings and things like that. I have a lot of respect for the fire department. And that's pretty much it. I've been cleaning my house out, emptying closets and stuff and I feel really good about it because I've been in the same house for 30 years, over 30 years and I don't throw things away. And so you were talking about table games. I stuck them in the garage and I don't even play them. I mean they're just silly games. I haven't played in 25 years or so. So I was going through them and then I decided to throw them away and luckily I emptied out, I had this old box of dominoes. It even smelled old and the box was all torn up and I dumped the dominoes in a plastic bag and I was throwing all the loose game pieces in a plastic bag to throw away. And on the bottom are two newspaper articles and they were photographs 1982 of my brother-in-law and sister's articles in the newspaper. And I would have just thrown the thing away. It's been a freedom sort of just letting things go. So anyway, I'm going to give it back to you because I only have 38 left in my battery too because I've been playing an internet game forever.

Today when I get off the net I'm going to be heading up to the hospital for another blood test and see if I can open up a vein for them. Seems that the phlebotomists are kind of weird people sometimes I'll tell you. But that's on the agenda today. Not much more though. I'm not going to be driving today. Usually I'll take a little trip to different places I haven't seen. And believe me there's a lot of places in Oregon I haven't seen. Even with the amount of driving I do through it and around it and everything else. It's funny you can live in a state for like 35 years and not see everything in it. Oregon's got a whole bunch of different things to see in it. And vastly different geologies and geographies and stuff like that. From deserts to the mountains to the ocean. It's amazing. It really is. So I think my next trip may be over to John Day Fossil Beds and Painted Hills over there. I've seen pictures of them but I'd like to see them up close and personal there.

Anyway we were in the car coming home and things were looking okay around us but then Jeannie looked out to the right at the side door and said wow those are some dark clouds down there and about 30 seconds later both of our cell phones went into an emergency notification which is a loud screech it's only the second time I've ever heard that and it's a startling sound to get your attention of course.

But I'm not on a freeway, I'm on the Interpachi Junction on what we call the trail and heading east to our home and then literally within 90 seconds, maybe 100 seconds, this big wall of dust was coming at us. I say dust but it's actually probably more dirt than anything. When I say a wall, I'm saying many thousands of feet high in the air and as far as we can see from the left of the windshield to the right side and around, it was fast approaching. As we kept going on, Jeannie actually got scared. She said this is a Haboo-g and that's spelled H-A-B-O-O-B. At first I thought she was saying Haboo, H-A-B-U. I've never heard the word before and the emergency notification from the county emergency office also said dust storm and Haboo. And Jeannie said I've been in several but this looks like really really bad stuff. So we kept motoring and then Jeannie, her voice got elevated and she became scared. She was literally scared. She said I've never seen anything this bad. She didn't want to keep going. I said well I can pull over but I've been through hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, typhoons, even the tsunami and that kind of stuff. I said I'm not going to do anything stupid. I'll keep going. As it approached probably no more than maybe a mile from us, we could see areas that were totally black from the ground all the way up as far as we could see. We could no longer see any sky. Could it break again? This is repeater station C-L-O-B-O-O-N-D November, November, November. And then multiple areas that were just totally black. When they talk about zero visibility they don't mean you can see maybe half a mile or whatever. I could see what was coming that they meant if you're in your car and you're in the middle of this you can see the inside of your car but beyond the windshield it's going to be black. You won't be able to see anything. They also advised if we did pull over to turn the motor off, keep the windows up, turn the lights off, the feet off, the brakes. They didn't want people to see the lights of a car if they could see anything thinking that it's a safe place to go. My logic is that makes sense. I've never heard it before. But you could also turn on the emergency lights which says stay away. But anyway we didn't need to get to do that. At least three, maybe four times Jeannie was expressing extreme scare on her part. And she said I just hope we can get home safely. We did. There was a little bit of sprinkles but not much. Just enough with the dirt in here to dirty my car.

And you could see on the camera on the runway that people had to sit in the planes for about one or two hours before they could take off because everything was just shut down. Totally no visibility at all. So really, I think there was like 57 flights that were late on taking off, and so it was a mess. But thank God there was nobody killed, which is a miracle. And a lot of damage from the wind, too, with trees falling and power lines and all. But it's no death, so that was a blessing from God. So anyway, yeah, just about ready to go off here.

How are you? How are you? How are you? Hey, welcome to the 9 a.m. edition of the Wednesday Morning Net on the PSRG. Or am I backwards there? That would be the Wednesday Morning Edition of the 9 a.m. Net on the PSRG. And this is Kilo Delta 7, Papa Whiskey Bravo Dave, the High Desert Pirate Radio down here in Central Oregon coming to you on the PSRG Repeater in Seattle, Washington via All Star Node. And we are on the PSRG Repeater, WW7PSR at 146.960 MHz with a negative offset and a PL tone of 103.5. So all you hams out there with a valid license, come in and join us. We would love to hear from you this morning. This is a social net. You can talk about anything you want as long as it is user friendly. And let's see, it is also a direct net. So please remember to go through Net Control to contact other stations and we would love to hear from you. And we are also All Star and Echo Link enabled, so if you are on one of those we would love to hear that too. So there you go. We are going to get things rocking and rolling here. I do have some Net Control announcements that I will do after the first round or 2 of check-ins. So the way we are going to start things off is with short horizon stations, that would be mobiles, IOs, anybody that is mission critical time wise, or low powered stations, we would love to hear from you as well. Then we will open it up to Internet stations. And let's see, then we will open it up to everybody. And none of this is carved in stone. So hey, if you can get in, do it. I don't mind. So there you go. Hey, everybody, once again this is Kilo Delta 7, Papa Whiskey Bravo Dave, and I'm going to start out. First off, let me see if I can get this one station to come in. They kind of came in early and I said, hey, we are going to start a net here in about 10 minutes. So let's see if we can pick up Australia there. I believe the call sign was Victor Kilo 1, Juliet Tango.

Name this place John Juliet's Oscar Hotel November like John the Baptist and I'm located in Canberra the capital city of Australia. I'm coming in via All Star but with a twist. I had All Star running on a Raspberry Pi and it blew up and I ended up installing All Star on my everyday use PC. So I'm currently on a video conference with a bunch of guys on something called HamCam and you're all invited to join. Check it out HamCam.KE8LCM.com and I've got the Sharpie node plugged into two of the USB ports and I've got All Star ASL3 running in the background on top behind all the other usual apps. And I've been compiling software, I've been downloading and compiling software. I'm big into SDR, I run the Dr. SDR Facebook group that's Delta Romeo space sugar delta romeo for those interested. Please feel free to check it out and you'll find some good stuff there. But the fact is yeah I've got my PC running as the All Star hotspot at the moment. I'm also using it for everyday use on top of that so it doesn't get turned off. But eventually I've got a couple, I've got another dedicated PC. I'm going to move All Star onto that along with my open WebRx server which is a web based SDR. And I'll run both those services on another i7 little compact PC that I've got. So that's what I've been up to today and other than that just playing radio and enjoying life and having fun there back to you.

And we had some wind gusts up in the 60s and possibly even the 70s. But a lot of dust, a lot of rain, but we got through it fine. I've been here for over 20 years, so I know what does and doesn't work in your yard. So I didn't lose anything that I can find. No trees or anything fell over. But a lot of downed trees all over the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. Loves a lot of trees like we usually do. But everybody got through okay and we needed the rain.

So, recently I installed this lip mount antenna thing on the back of my engine cover on my car here. I don't want to drill any holes in the car, so I'm trying this lip mount, a fan lip mount with a fan dual band antenna. It seems to be working pretty well. And just temporarily I've got, I took my old TYT TH9800 radio and I've got it sitting on the street. Not the street, the seat. It's kind of just a very set up, eventually I get everything installed nicely, but I'm kind of waiting for a couple of things to happen. Anyway, so it's morning and I come up to my car and turn on the radio so I can check in and the radio doesn't come on. And I check this and I check that and I go, oh, no power. I mean I push the button for it to come on, no power. So I went up and got my multimeter, okay, cigarette lighter's good, cable that to the radio's good, what's going on? So I went up to my little storage room, my second bedroom, and got a box that Jack had given me a few months ago, another TYT TH9800. This one apparently was previously owned by Kirk, sorry I don't call his name off hand but we all know Kirk. And I came in and it looks great. So I don't know, I guess I've got to do some troubleshooting on my old TH9800. It's not a fuse, it's something internal. So anyway, this has got me up and running and so I'm going to have a chance to check in. Sorry that Steve is still having his ear problem there. I know he's already gone all the routes of emergency room and that stuff, so I think he really needs, this needs the ear specialist. There must be some other one, I don't know, just October. Seems like a really long ways away. Anyway, hey, the sun's starting to come up. It is a cool week today, it's only 72 at the moment, driving north on I-5 up by Mill Creek at the moment.

W708, Dan, good afternoon. Good afternoon. I might say I'm going to go down through a dip here in the car. Okay, I'll pull over and stop for a second. Anyway, it made me think of something. We took a friend to Fifth Avenue. They had a concert that was, think of almost all of it was Ellington in the 20s. It was a live stage thing, the band on stage, the singers, the dancers, absolutely fantastic. The sound work was stunning, unlike a climate pledge where usually it's just bass, bass, bass. Anyway, I did stop and talk to the sound lady because nobody ever says thanks to them. And I did ask her, how many mics on the drum kit? Because you could hear the cymbals, the snare, the toms, the kick. Everything was so clear. She said eight. And that meant they did it right. It wasn't just listen to one microphone hung above a drum kit. Anyway, that was magnificent. And drums when they're done mic that way, oh my gosh, amazing. And the only interesting drum I have, we were in Monument Valley, oh, 20 years ago. Yes, 20 years ago. And a lot of drum they made, you know, where you take a log, haul it out, skin over the top. And nicely made. The most original style thing was all leather and rawhide, no modern stuff. But you know, I'm not a drummer. I admire them because they have magnificent rhythm skills that are beyond me. And I had breakfast with the guys at Kona Kitchen like we do now on Wednesdays.

Yeah, there might have been four. But it worked out really well. They were real big on good sound for the band. So they always had good sound there. Let's see. Yeah, here in the Bay Area, it's about sunny out. It's 73 degrees out there. And I got in here and I put some nuts out for the squirrels. And I'll sit in here. All of a sudden, here is barking sound. And I look out there, and one of the squirrels up is a tree next to my patio and just barking away at another squirrel, kind of chipping and barking. And it's kind of a funny, really distinctive sound. And then he finally decided he had enough and came down and started eating the nuts that were there. But it's funny to listen to them. And their tails are whipping back, you know. They're definitely not happy sometimes. Yeah, meanwhile, just watching some reruns of baseball from the World Series last year and drinking coffee. I was on the other net here. Oh, God, the one that comes up before this one here. It's still kind of sleepy. I've had coffee, but I think I need another cup. But anyway, that's about it.

I noticed this last night on a net they were having. And there's other repeaters that are starting to shift too, I'm going to have to get my programming software back out. The other thing, I've already been to VETCO this morning, I went and got a bunch of parts, I need to reassemble my weather station. These, I don't know, getting into the details, these Arduino Pro Micros, I think the integrated development environment, is that what IDE stands for, that comes with an Arduino? I think it is bricking these Pro Micros, there's a special, they have 3 volt and 5 volt Pro Micros, and the default setting is one that bricks my Pro Micros, I can't talk to them anymore, and they're hard to get back after you brick them.

I guess they're not really talking about much else right now because they're deep in the weeds on meshtastic. Those were my takeaways. Now, my question for you back at Tech Talk here, KV4P, one of your latest projects I know, apparently, ZeroRetries.org, the blog that Steve up in Bellingham puts out, ZeroRetries.org, he says, and I haven't had a chance to read this article in the newest issue, 2.16, but there's a new version, version 2. Are you aware of that, and have you done anything on that yet? KV4P version 2. Back to you, Bill. Yeah, well, thank you, Jack. Yes, actually, ZeroRetries just had an article about it because they just got a hold of it, but actually version 2 has been available for, gosh, a very long time, well over six months, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, I won't go into the technical details, but it's quite an improved version, and I've been using it, and you and I have talked on it and on the net many times. It works great. Version 2 is good. It's not as DIY as the original version because the board is a little more sophisticated. Anyway, it really works well, and there's a new firmware coming out, I think, within a few weeks that I'm looking forward to. Since we've been chatting so long, I'll make my comment very brief. I just wanted to say meshtastic is very interesting. I've been talking to Barry about it, as a matter of fact, but even more interesting to me is the latest and greatest, which is a different, instead of meshtastic, another piece of software and firmware called MeshCore, which runs on most of the same devices. I've been experimenting with it now for a couple of months, and I find it much more robust than meshtastic. It really gets the messages through. This is K7WFP.

That didn't work, so they tried swapping the antenna. That didn't work, so they had to turn the whole plane off and then on again. And then that seemed to work, so if all else fails, turn it off, turn it on again. But we got out over here about 8.30 this morning. Got some breakfast around the airport. Newark Airport is not a place to get breakfast, so got to the hotel, took a good nap. You can probably hear how tired I am with my voice. And now I'm about to go leave the hotel room and grab some breakfast, lunch, dinner over at IHOP before coming back and doing some studying for training tomorrow. And I gotta be up at 4.30 in the morning East Coast time. What, like 1.30 AM for y'all? So my sleep schedule is getting some whiplash. But at least I have the day after training off to just relax and reset. So it's gonna be gonna be a tired couple of days, but I got a Celsius on the counter waiting for tomorrow morning and gonna get some good sleep tonight and hopefully pass training. It's not that hard. We psych ourselves out of it. And yeah, I'm gonna go get some pancakes or something over at the International House of Pancakes. Anyways, I'll throw it back to you, KJ7WQI. Alright Matt, hey, boy yeah, boy I'm so sorry you're so tired, but that's a crazy, crazy thing you do. Oh, flight attendant on an airline, you're quite amazing. You can just keep up the schedule you do. Now I do have a question though. I know that airplanes, you know modern airliners, you know they don't just have one antenna, one radio, or one transceiver of whatever sort it is. So was this a VHF antenna? Is that what it was? Uh, I don't quite know. I do Oh, let me, it's not showing me the time real quick, so let me drop for a second. All Star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Okay, I think I'm back. Can you just check for me real quick? I'm not seeing the time running. So, just wanted to make sure I'm getting in. Yes, you are. You are getting in. Yeah, go ahead Matt."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-27T12:36:22+00:00","id":25937,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25936,"text":" all right okay there we go yeah I it was it was the second radio to have two working radios in the flight deck in order for the plane to take off and if they couldn't fix it that flight was going to cancel the crew was about 45 minutes from timing out so it was it was getting dicey and me and the person sitting in the row with me we're kind of biting our fingernails I was actually sitting next to the first officer's mom who was on the flight who had come to Seattle to hang out with her for the day so that was fun but we were we were sitting there and she was texting the FO and getting all the all the details all the behind the scenes and yeah they it's I don't know exactly what radios they have but I know they have to have at least two of them and they both got to work for the plane to take it off the ground so I don't know I'll look into that a little more I have found a couple of hams who fly who may or may not be on this net listening in the background hi Jason and Rachel all right anyhow I've talked I've talked enough I'll throw it back to you kj7 wqi"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-08-27T12:37:28+00:00","id":25938,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":25937,"text":" Alright, well thank you so much. Well, and the reason I ask, not just because you mentioned it, but I'm glad you made it back finally. But, so a lot of people don't realize this, and I had no idea until I really looked into it. I saw a magazine article one time that said, Do you know how many antennas a modern airliner has? And I said, I don't know, two? I don't know. And then it says no. So, the diagram, you know, a cutaway diagram of the airplane, saying this system, that system, weather, this system over here, this under here. So, and I just looked it up real quick, because I still just, it's hard to imagine, but of course, you know, modern airplanes have to make it. So, a narrow body, like a 737, might carry 25 to 30 antennas, while a 787 or A350 Airbus, with all the extra systems, might have 40 to 50 antennas. So, that is quite a lot, and I'm sure glad you don't have to know all of them. That was hard enough to keep track of my handheld. Anyway, all right, you take care, Matt, and I hope you get some rest real soon, okay? Take care. Good luck with the training, too. All right, KM0Q, he keyed up.

It's nearly nine o'clock in the evening here. Nice to hear you guys and nice to hear you Jack as well. Again, from the Lake Washington to the Puget Sound. I can't remember where I am sometimes. But yeah, nobody's good over here. It's just gone dark. I'm just contemplating some supper. Oh, and a hot chocolate. I was talking to somebody on the radio. The radio is very, very bad for your waistline. It's also very, very bad for your wallet. Your finances. It's an imagined hot chocolate. So I should be having a hot chocolate with whatever I have for supper. But yeah, nobody's good over here. I had an idea and I'm thinking about it. My grandson who turned five, I bought him a couple of walkie talkies for his birthday on Sunday. And he absolutely loves them. So I was thinking it would be really nice to go over there, put the mobile mode in my messenger bag with a little emergency light in the back to run this. Take your hand towels along. Then have a listen out to the Lake Washington Health and Wellness Net. And if he's up to it, we'll see if we can get him to speak. He's very good at speaking when he wants to. But not when you want him to. So I'm still waiting for the other grandson. He's only three. He's a time out killer. Once he starts talking he doesn't stop. He's only three years old. And yeah, I went around there a couple of weekends ago. And I had to sit down in the end. He just didn't stop. It was a constant stream of that. His tractors and his lorries and buses and dogs and cats and all the things he'd done and where he'd been. And then when they shut him up in the end, they gave him a chocolate ice cream. A bit of a messy way of doing it but at least it silenced him for a little bit. So he could get a little bit of adult conversation in before he'd finished. And the biggest problem then was stocking the dog from licking all the chocolate ice cream on the front of him. He could do his t-shirt off. And he goes all around his mouth. He's like a goat beard. And then down his chest. And of course the dog just wanted to lick it all off. But luckily mum was there with the cloth so she lied to him. But yeah, that's about it. I'm getting ready for the next two meter event at the end of the month. Or the end of... Is it September yet? No, we haven't got there yet. It was still in August. So the end of next month is another two meter event. So I'm going to go up to High Point and act as a net house for that. So that will all be good fun. So that's it. That's it for Radio Talk.

Hey, but real quick, so end of September, you got the High Point 2 Meter event, and I think you're hosting again.

So the idea of the host is basically you call out for people, you get a list together, six to ten people and then you pass it round between them so that the people can basically speak to each other so you can see who they can hear and all the rest of it. So it's not about, I'm going to put it, it's not so much hosting as acting as a sort of guide in the background and getting people to talk to each other and seeing who can hear who. Obviously I'm going to a high point so I'll hear everybody but some of the people might not hear each other. The last one I did unfortunately I put a very good one of the DX commanders DX10, 5 10s on the top, same as the X5 10 but a screw together thing. Stuck it on a mast on the back of my Land Rover and that really puts it up about 9 to 10 feet and the trouble was I was hearing stations from too far away and obviously nobody local to me could actually hear them even though I could. I mean I worked roughly 100 miles radius in two meters FM after the message finished. Now unfortunately it's not internet links although I can take a mobile node with me but it's something 27 12 to 3 so unfortunately I can't bring anybody in. I can talk to people you know on the PSOG while I'm on the net but I can't actually bring them into the net itself. I can put you in the log, how does that sound?

Oh, that's great. Alright, well yeah, okay, so skip the bungee jump. That's just not a good idea. Uh, you gotta do that over a river or something off a bridge deck.

Yes, my understanding is, and I'll find out more today, is that Starlink will be being deployed in locations where there is not cellular data.
