I did not do a whole lot today. I wrote a couple more chapters in my interminable book, which I devoutly hope will be finished some year. And I practiced harp outside to the accompaniment of baby crows. Good grief, those guys are obnoxious. But they really like the military. They like the military medley. There's something about the pitches in the C major scale they really adore. And they'll sit there and caw along with it in those high voices they have. It's really quite, I don't know, it's quite interesting to listen to and to have them as an audience. Other than that, after all the discussion last night on the Net, CDs, I'm beginning to wonder what to do with my Christmas Carol project, whether to release it as a CD or just maybe put it on Amazon and resign myself to making not much money from it. At least for the CD, I make some money from the sale. And I get most of that back because I'm not paying for any rights on those carols. So I get the reader's rights, the performance rights, loyalty, plus whatever profit I can make over and above that pay for materials.

It's sort of odd, because for me CDs are always a personal experience and their reach was limited to that. But anyway, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this Carol project at this point. I'll finish recording it and we'll just have to see. Anyway, $73.33 ADA to Evy G. Ben-Manette. Thanks Joan for hosting this. Thanks to Evy, all of you for listening. This is \u2014 I love you all.

And I did get some 1 GB thumb drives that I am going to experiment with putting some of my music on, probably at this point just to give away. But the thing is that limits your reach to people who are savvy enough and geeky enough to take thumb drives with music and plug them into their computer. It works, but it's not like, you know, I mean nobody goes browsing in the records section and buys thumb drives. So you and I can use thumb drives and ham radio friends, it's not bad. I don't mind using thumb drives. If someone gave them a thumb drive, they are basically buying one at a day, you know, but I am going to leave it at work. And at this point I am not trying to make money. I just don't want money to perish. So my original, by the way, yeah, I am with you on that. Because one of the things that the thumb drives don't solve is the problem of ubiquity. Yes, they are all overt, but you know, it's like I feel like you are running into the same thing. I wonder, how could I do that one? I could just stream it on my phone. I will shut up now. Take care of Ann for 3. Next on the list was an I.L. from Peter. And next that brings us to Robert.

There's ash on my car, there's ash on the chairs outside. It's the end of some means to put out that fire light cushion and that's a good thing. So here's for a little hint of what we're going to do. Here's for a little cleansing rain to maybe end of summer worth it. On a different note, this is kind of interesting. Usually the PSRG repeater is clear as a bell, but tonight it's kind of scratchy and I don't know, picket-fencing kind of. And on Saturday, I tuned in to SimplexNet and I was in the office and I was in the office. I tuned in to SimplexNet and that was really bizarre because I was hearing Belling, let's see, Brammerson stations, Conway stations, clear as a bell. Bellevue was kind of scratchy and everyone was calling in saying I'm broadcasting with 50 watts with this antenna or that antenna. And I'm on my 5 watt HT and I thought, well, what the heck, I'll just push the button. So I pushed the button and I was coming through clear as a bell for everybody. It was very strange. So the fact that the PSRG repeater tonight is kind of scratchy, that's also strange. But I've got no radio for you. Back to the net, KK7, dead ROI. Good night everybody. Thanks for hosting the net. Well, Robert, the air quality seems all right. I'm not looking at it. I do have the, I do have, well, never mind when I start going into detail. So I won't. See, what you're hearing is splutter, that's what my brother Clay calls it and some other friends. Splutter, not splatter or splooter or splipper. But splutter, a kind of packet loss that's in the controller, in the Raspberry Pi and the connections that it manages between different receivers and the transmitter. And it's, you know, the receivers are linked to the transmitter via a 5 gigahertz microwave, which is part of the HamWAN. Our amateur radio, a 5 gigahertz microwave network in western Washington. There's also another HamWAN in the eastern U.S. And if Jack is listening, he'll probably at some point reset, he'll reboot the Pi, the Raspberry Pi. And so Jack, if you're listening, if you want to do that, just let us know. Otherwise, if it doesn't get reset, it works its way out. So the splutter will go away. As far as the SimplexNet goes, it's simplex. It's just radio to radio. Some people are running 50 watts. Some people always run 50 watts even if they're just talking to someone on the next block. I like to see how low I can go. But yeah, if you were in a good position, a lot of people can hear you. But of course, not everyone can hear you at 5 watts. I used to run 4 watts and I have been coaxed into running 22 watts now. And more people can hear me. But it's fun. I hope you keep doing the SimplexNet because it's just radio to radio. And right now, the problem is not a problem with reception. It's a problem with the packet loss in the system. Take care, Robert. Thank you for checking in. Next, we have Carrie in Scotland. Mike Zero, Romeo, Kilo, November. And Carrie, I will try to make out as much as I can, but as you can hear, I hear a lot of splutter, a lot of packet loss, but I will focus and listen to what you have to say. 33, YL to YL, I see you across the room. And this is Joan, KX2CW asking for you, Carrie. Carrie, Mike Zero, RKM, Mike Zero, RKM, Carrie in Scotland. Please go ahead. I see in the voterscope and the node list that there's W9. W9MAQ is keyed down, but we're not hearing any audio. And also, I'm not able to raise Carrie. And I'm looking down the node list to find her. Call sign. Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling. They see me scrolling and ad-hating. And I don't see her. So I'll ask one more. Good. W9MAQ, thank you for dropping. Carrie, Mike Zero, RKM in Scotland. Please go ahead. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November, all star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Oh, dear. So we lost Carrie.

We've got our wildfires on the Pacific zone here in North America. And our air quality index is a 52, which is similar to yesterday at about this time, it says. It's moderate.

The weather has been kind of unsettled over the last few days. We've had sunshine. We've also had lots of rain off and on. We had a couple of fronts come through here. We had fairly strong winds for this time of year. It cooled off temperatures north of here. This past Saturday we had a water spout. We had spots that happened occasionally on the Gulf Coast. This one got close enough to land that it actually blew around some umbrellas and some beach chairs. We had some people running for cover, but I don't think anybody really got hurt. Of course, we're just feeling good that so far we've had a relatively mild and uneventful tropical season as we get into September. So we're just holding our breath to see if we can get through this. The thing is predicting that we're going to have a lot of union this year. Normally we have warmer than normal winters. We also go wetter. Occasionally we've had the stoves lining and we've also had freezes that are already cold front coming down and dropping everything into below normal temperatures. Then we go away. Then December feels like April. Last year, just past winter, we had snow for the first time in a year. That was interesting. We'll just have to see what happens. We've been mostly doing a little bit of radio and got to hang out with some neighbors today. We kind of shocked the breeze. It's in between the raindrops. Other than that, it was pretty uneventful. So that's all I have this time around, John. Thanks for hosting it. Happy Labor Day to everybody. Hope everybody enjoyed that.

I came home and I crashed, so now it's time to play. And I know it's only September 1st, but I'm actually in my mind, I'm putting together my project for Christmas, I think you all know what I do then, so I've got to end the month, I send my package out to get the promo going, and for the 15th time I get to talk to the big man when he goes around the world. I know it's kind of early folks, but I've got to get everything rolling, get too many people involved. Other than that, not much going on here, it's my night off from work, I'm down to part time now, 32 hours a week, so I get a three day weekend every week, which is a lot of fun, I get more radio time. We're going to go watch a movie, not sure when I'll watch that, I'll pick a DVD out or see what's up streaming. And then five weeks from tomorrow, hockey season starts, so you'll be hearing me non-stop hockey talk at my station.

I posted some pictures on the PNRG Facebook group. The mountain did not have very much snow on it, but it looked quite big from the viewpoints we managed to find. We had a good time. Me and my friend, Jeff K, YFR, strung up a 80 meter benefit up in the trees and set up the radio and a handful of PODA contacts. And then there was some Colorado QSO party going on, and so I was able to get some comments on some of those photos as well. So that was pretty fun. Got to play radio a couple days out in the woods. Had some great camp meals on the Blackstone and just had an overall good time. We are tired now. Come back, just took a shower, had to wash all that camping dirt off.

Although, Brooks, I did get, I went to REI, they had things on sale, you know, obviously, Labor Day sale. And I got something I wanted for a while, I keep thinking about it, but I wanted to just do it. It was on sale for $63. It's a nice REI, one of those little Tetra-Region type chairs. And actually what I did is I went to the store and I sat in several of the different chairs. Most of them were kind of, didn't feel stable and they felt kind of flimsy and rickety. But this one, particular one, felt nice and sturdy and you could go rock side to side and forward and back. And it felt solid. And it was on sale for $62.95. So I bought it. And it's sitting there.

Joan, thank you very much for doing the net. I always enjoy it. Yeah, just as we start talking about the mountain there, Adams, I just remember when I was in high school we went to the Paradise campground up there where it was, you know, before you would go hiking along the mountain and I remember how the Navaneer looked like it was so close you could touch it and it had lots of snow and it was just beautiful and I've never forgot that in all these years, how incredible that was and I still think about how that's stunning. You know, the outdoors can do that sometimes. Well, that being said, you know, the club I belong to, Papa System, has a great campout every year out on the island and I was just thinking it would be great if the PSRG could do that, you know, because I think that everybody there would have a great time. You could go out there and do a field test of your camping chair and, you know, Brooks could take their cool trailer out there and, you know, I kind of think of a better group that should do it because everybody's so social. And you could probably hit the repeater but that's just something I think it would be interesting to really, you know, the club could think about very seriously for next year. Meanwhile, here in the Bay Area we hit 90 degrees today again. It was pretty warm and had the air conditioning going off and on during the day. I haven't had to do that very much but this time around I did and weathering, weathering was supposed to drop down into November, Quebec, November and sunny again. Meanwhile, I had a new squirrel on the patio. I hadn't seen this one before. It was as scary as you could get. I mean, he was so scared of everything that he could hardly move, you know, and he had, you know, some food over here and then down and he just kind of looked at it and went up and kind of jumped back and, you know, and he just, man, he had a hard time. He needed some value. So I think he finally ended up getting something but, man, he was skitterish. He was the last, it was at the end of the day too. There was nothing around. Meanwhile, I saw another, I saw a good program on Big Ben, the making of it in London. I got a picture of me standing in front of it and we went to do some work for Cisco out in the London area. But I remember Big Ben, boy, it sure catches your attention because it's big. But to see what else going on here, it just, I don't know, I just kind of, you know, just watched some, I watched rugby and I hadn't watched rugby in a little while and I liked the New Zealand All Blacks. I really liked to watch those guys play and they played Argentina and they beat them in which was cool. But the first was kind of shaky, I don't know. I didn't think maybe they might lose and then all of a sudden they just piled on the scores and it was kind of great to watch them. But yeah, rugby is definitely a sport for, you got to be a big bruiser there or you'll be tough as nails. I wouldn't want to play rugby. So anyway, that's pretty much it for today. Nothing really earth-shaking outside of that. So thanks again, Joe. I'm presuming that everybody out there have a good evening.

So then I moved on to the accelerator pedal and put that on, and that was clear that it was a bad fit altogether. The pedal itself was pointing up to the sky. There's no way that you could put your heel on the floor and massage the accelerator pedal with the ball of your feet because it was meant for a power pedal system that I don't have. So I got it wrong, and then I took it back and matched pictures, and we found the right accelerator one. So we got one side working, but I then put my old throttle body back on, and everything seems to be running just fine. Let me take a break for a sec."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-01T22:03:41+00:00","id":30079,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30078,"text":" Alright, or not, I'll let the long 8 second tail drop.

So going back to the top, we had IOs from David and Bill and that brings us to Hunter, KK7NQN in Shelton. Hunter please give us your report. This is repeater station KK7NQN. Yeah, today has been actually one of those frustrating days. I went out and did some work on the apartment out there. The roommate had stuff going on that he, I guess didn't like telling me. His door knob was tapped off except for him. I guess his fridge died well that I didn't mention it. So I got him a new fridge in there and replaced a couple of the outlets that were dead that he also didn't mention. I don't know, it's weird to me people don't mention stuff like that and they're like, ah it's fine. I'm like, you could have set something up, I would have fixed it. But yeah, and then I went into working on the transcription system again that I've been working on for a while. So over at KK7NQN.net, which I'm not sure if you've seen it or not but it may be helpful, it transcribes a lot of nets and traffic. Anything that comes through DoDropN it transcribes. It's a few minutes behind on super busy nets but kind of handy. Anyways, today I took on the very ambitious goal of adding user accounts where people can make an account, log in, track their usage and see what the system has, log about them and request deletes or edits and stuff like that. And oh man was it an undertaking trying to make an account system where people can log in and see their data and manage their data is really hard. I think I spent about 10-11 hours on it and I finally got to the point tonight where I'm just like, eh, it's time to walk away and come back to it another time because I am not winning this battle. Anyways, this is KK7NQN back to net."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-01T22:04:21+00:00","id":30080,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30079,"text":" No problem.

Those so even Internet2 are all connected within the same Internet2, which is also pretty cool. I like to think about that. And yeah, I mentioned that radio. It's DMR radio, a digital radio.

Bill, please give us your report. Okay, I'll go out. What next? Let's see, get him to jump. Thanks for picking me up tonight. Omega Man strikes again. All right, I'm getting a knack for that last check-in. Let's see, just a friendly reminder, Joan, if you get a chance, go up on your favorite mountain there before winter moves in and rain and so on and so forth if you get a chance to camp out. Oh, and by the way, speaking of, tonight there's a good chance for the Aurora Borealis visible all the way down to Oregon. So if you have a dark place, anybody out there listening, see if you can go out and catch a view of that. I'm gonna go out here as soon as we wrap up here. Let's see, Joan, what else do I have next weekend? Saturday, Wooden Boat Festival over and our beloved Port Townsend. Oh, man, I've been going for years. I love it and so we'll be hitting that Saturday morning, late morning. We'll stop by the Spruce Goose probably and have a bite to eat there. It's a little airstrip. And let's see, oh, Joan, I remember years ago you and David, and I've forgotten David's call sign. I think he's moved off to Canada, I believe you told me. And you guys went camping, correct me if I'm wrong there, and you didn't have a warm enough sleeping bag. You slept cold that night. Anyhow, and then along about that same period, I don't know if you recall this, me and Dale Taylor, the chicken man we camped at over there in lower elevations of the Olympics. So that goes back a few years. Thanks, Joan, for picking us up tonight. Good night. KC5WFH. Bill. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. Yes, I do remember that. I don't remember what year it was, but I definitely remember the camping trip. We went to Tuhuya State Forest. And it went down. It must have been below freezing. And I didn't have a winter sleeping bag. So I had my coat bundled up and I was inside the sleeping bag and snuffled up to whatever I had. Just, you know, I don't really think I was in danger of perishing, but it was uncomfortable. As Warf might say, when Riker asked him what was going to happen if they're doing an exercise, and he said, well, Warf, what will you think if we lose? And Warf said, I will be annoyed. There's time for that thoughtless vehicle outside. I don't know if you could hear that drag racer out there. And so I was, humorously will say, I was Klingon annoyed. You know, kicking myself. All I had to do is have a better sleeping bag. I just brought my sleeping bag liner. I didn't realize it was going to be that cold, but it was fun. I got the KX2 on the picnic table and listening to the Pacific 80 meter net. I forgot the actual name of the net. But anyway, yeah, Bill, I remember that. It was good. And yes, N5JRN is this call sign. And he is working in tech in Vancouver, BC. So I'd go up there and visit him, but if I go, I probably should pack to leave for the last time. Because I'm worried about getting back into the US. Anyway, be that as it may be, be that as it may, may that be as that may be. So, folks, that's a wrap. Thank you all for joining us for the Labor Day 2025. September 1st, 9 o'clock evening net. I'd like to thank the Puget Sound Repeater Group for the usage of this repeater.

And I worked from Kuwait south into a town called Minasaud where we had a, the company had a loading terminal and a big barge and so at times they needed somebody to sort of work through a problem like a barge that the anchor chain would break and I found some old books. We didn't have the internet, we didn't have much material but there were handbooks written in the 1920s and one of them said that if an anchor chain is really heavy it's vertical and then when the current washes the barge back and forth a little bit it actually wears one of the links and eventually it gets loose. So the barge got loose one day and the barge was like 100 feet long, the barge got loose and so I managed to get them to raise the chain up and lo and behold there was a link that had worn through. So I went to the people in charge of the loading terminal and I said well we got to get smaller chain for the barge and they laughed and they said it must be nuts, the chain is breaking and we need bigger chain. I said I don't think so and I showed them this 1920s book and the reference and gradually they got converted, I forgot exactly what we did but we managed to stop the chain breaking for a while.

It's only about 60 miles from Dubai so I was up that way and then I took the boat around the top, Gao thing and did a bit of diving and that. It was good fun. So I operated there but I just used the phone, didn't take a radio. You never know where these places are. So yeah I could use Echo Link and I did quite a bit of travelling at one time by plane and operated when I was in China with the phone, so with Echo Link, nobody bothered, HI.

If they saw you talking on a phone and they wondered who you were talking to in English, we learned they had not to do that. Even then, one time we were in the desert, east and south of Dubai. A desert police group interviewed us and took away our DPC, Dubai Petroleum Company's radios and said they were not licensed in the desert in Saudi Arabia. We gave them and then they held us for two days in a little camp. They did not treat us poorly. They just held us. Eventually, we went back to Dubai and we teased the Dubai driver of our expedition and told them to go back and get the radio or the mayor of Dubai would be very unhappy with him. He knew this was a joke because DPC had all the money in the world and all the radios we needed. He never went back. He said it was his Dubai and Arabic had an accent and he didn't sound like a Saudi. They had many different accents. Just like in English, I can tell that you obviously don't live in the United States and so you can do that with Arabic too. We had fun with him. Eventually, I got tired of the place and left.

My dad, he's kind of cheap. And so, I think he buys those particular cakes because he likes, honestly, you know what I think he buys them for, he likes those cases that they come in, they're these huge metal cases and I see them all over his room and around the house. I almost said his crib because his room is kind of his personal crib, it really is. My room isn't like his, thank God. But his room is decked out with a lot of those boxes. But where I said that I'm more generous is they make different types. He doesn't even care. Like they make, there's even like a health conscious moon cake where it's like less ingredients but it's still good. I don't know what that's even called. The problem is I don't really know Chinese so I can't really go to Chinese market because I don't know what the hell I'm doing. So, I don't know what I'm doing there's a lot of good things like that. Usually, what do they use for their sweets? Let me think for a second. What do they use? God, what's that stuff that they, it's some kind of, oh soybeans! They make their sweets out of soybeans. So that's what this cake mostly is, right? And then there's like an egg tart kind of filling, like egg, there's an egg in it. But there's like a whole method how they do that too. It's like salted. So it's like savory and sweet at the same time. Yeah, thanks, thanks, thanks, thanks, custard, yeah. Oh, and Jeff, I saw you. I see you. Wow, wow, this is like hot 97. I see you, Jeff! Anyways, I'll take care. Hi and bye. Jeff said he was an in and out. So, they make their sweets out of soybeans. So, most of these desserts are soybeans and then there's different products because I guess there's something even healthier than soybeans. And then, okay, I put you on the list, Steve. You guys can write to me. The only thing is I read it while I'm on the air so you might actually hear me being told what's being written. But that's how it is. I'll retrieve you. But there's different styles and different types of those cakes you can get. Problem is I just don't know how to ask for them. And where being cheap comes in handy is you get a box of them. I think there's like somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 to 8. I can't even remember anymore. I mean, I'll see it 10 times and still won't remember. And they cost about $35 for a box of those. Now, me, I don't care. I mean, you can only live once. So, I'll buy three or four boxes. But my dad will at least buy, he used to buy two. One for the house and then he gives one away to my brother. And you gotta see what he does with his own box. He like takes the cakes and freezes them and expects that they'll be good and okay in February when it's September right now. So, he's insane. They're nasty. The eggs have rotted out and the soybean has softened and they're nasty when he does that. Don't trust them when it comes to preserving food. Cause, I mean, if he's preserving food for cattle, maybe. But you ain't want him preserving food for you. I'm just saying. I mean, there's a fine line of being cheap. He doesn't know it. There you go. Okay, so the next one here, I'm gonna take down a few more names. People talking to me on the screen. But the next one is Gray. So, over to Gray. And Steve, I got you marked down.

No I'm joking I wouldn't even know what to ask for I really wouldn't most things I get on my own and other things I tease you about I just tease you like last year I was constantly asking you guys when you gonna get me a new phone but I was joking chances are if you asked I would have wussied out but like if you responded I would have wussied out so yeah so no it's all good I love to do this stuff so no worries here but just know at some point it doesn't mean I won't think about it it means I don't know how to ask but I'm thinking of I don't know some type of hookup I just don't know what it would be maybe if somebody specialized it would help like let me find out one of y'all's cook really good edibles then I might look you up so I might base on asking for something on one of those like what you know let me find out one of you guys it'll be on somebody's skill like let me find out one of you guys make the dopest mixtapes ever well then at some point I'm bugging you for a tape wait what's a tape okay all right let me find out one of you guys I don't know yeah that's the thing I don't even know because I work and I do things right so I know you guys do too but I don't really know but yeah let me find out one of you guys playing a band or something and I'll be like yo you don't hold me up to tickets for your show you know hey hey hey anybody remember this you know what this means when someone tells you that okay because I don't want to give it away here because if I tell you part of the context you'll know the answer but you know what it means when people used to ask for a miracle who used to ask for a miracle and what does it mean it's kind of slang and if you know the slang I'll know you know the story so people would okay people would pop by your city okay that this is kind of giving it away now I'm almost giving it away they would pop by your city okay think of drifters and they would ask people who can listen who sees they would tell them that they're looking for a miracle so see if see if you're down with that phrase it's not part of the question but I just thought of it now just to screw with you all right so Ron is next over to run"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T04:55:52+00:00","id":30230,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30229,"text":" OK, good morning Kevin, good morning to everybody. Participating in the Calabonganet on the two drop-in. I was looking, first I was recovering from some updates in the computer. I just had to restart everything. Those updates don't fix the issue that I've been having with the updates. I'm getting word from Microsoft after all the people that are complaining that they can't run applications. Their drive drops out. The release about it from Microsoft says that they're unable to duplicate the problem in their laboratory. So I guess it's not going to be the next update that's due on the 9th that's going to fix anything. They've got a few more days to replicate it and find out what's causing it. So basically, they don't know what's causing it. And they're hinting that they don't think that it's their problem. Does that sound like it's not what I've said their problem? Let's see. I think you were hinting about All I Need Is A Miracle by Mike and the Mechanics. I don't know what that song is actually about. I'm going to look up it later. These portal parties. That's going on, like, not in this country. It's up there in Ottawa. But I was kind of impressed. You think portal parties? You think of those ones that they put at construction sites? They're putting them out for kids because the building is so their school building is so big."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T05:03:45+00:00","id":30231,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30230,"text":" The issue of overcapacity in the building. But these portal potties look really nice. They're like trailers that you would see a third wheel motor home. And they're painted really bright blue. Two doors, a lot of room. They're cleaned often according to them. They're heated. Let me reset real quick. They've got air conditioning. They don't show a picture of the inside. But based on what I see from the outside, they're really nice. You can see the air conditioner on the top. So one of the additional complaints is that now, since these portal potties are so large, they're more like portable toilets. They take away from some of the play area children have. So there's a lot of debate, it appears, that's going on about them. And it's a temporary solution. So I don't know what the permanent solution is. They didn't mention it in this article I'm reading. All right, that's enough of this go around. This is Ron, AA482, near Moore, Florida, back to Kevin in net control. Yes, indeed. And I can segue into that quite comfortably. So yeah, on Sunday, so now you'll get the tease here in the spoiler. On Sunday, I told you that on Ottawa Now, they were mentioning, because I was following the conversation too, there, and they have a news group as well, where the schools, and it's coming to our schools here too, they're building these portable washrooms. And I had just simply asked if people have seen them. They're pretty swanky. They're better than port-a-potties. They're not like the stinking ones that nobody cleans. These have modern conveniences in them, heating, air conditioned, flushable toilets. And they're using it for the kids, because they're basically outside all the time. They're using portable classrooms now. That was another thing I was going to ask. So it might be a combined question, right? You choose, you answer, or if you don't want to, that's fine. These are all optional, remember. They're just suggestions, power suggestions. We don't make you answer. You can just talk about whatever, if you prefer. But I was basically asking if people had seen those portable classrooms, right? And then, because they have the portable classrooms, they're basically, there's various manifestations how they're set up. Sometimes they're like these little tent looking things. Other times, they're these trailer looking things. And they're outside of the school, right? At my school, there's a rink. At Central Tech, here in Toronto, there's this big rink, like this big, where it's supposed to be a hockey rink. And inside of it, they have some of the portable classrooms. And now we heard, because I hadn't, I mean, I'll see them when they tell me about them. But we had heard that they're building these new swanky washrooms, so the kids can go to the can when they're using the portables, which is funny to say, because a portable is one of those, instead of just walking 10 minutes into the school, so they can use the can. So it's kind of a combined question. Most of this stuff is bugged out to me. I had just simply wondered if anyone had heard it, right? And so instead of just reading this whole thing to you, I think I can mentalize what I was asking. So you ever seen, first of all, is anyone that's still around or even knows about school, using those portable classrooms? And as a result, have you seen those swanky portable washrooms? I don't even know the names of them. Shelley has a joke that they're poor to leave. Yeah, they're a little bit more swankier than just a crappy total, sorry. Pun intended. So there you go. Now, the miracle, and I'll get busy with the list in a second, the miracle is when deadheads would come to town, the Grateful Dead, when the deadheads would come to town, a lot of them are usually homeless, and they're drifters. So they would go to the cities where they're supposed to go, where the bands are supposed to play, but they need a place to crash. So they would usually ask, hopefully, another deadhead. They would ask them if they can put them up. Like if I knew a show was playing in the city that Bill lives, right? I would go and let's say I know he's a deadhead or that he's hanging around a bunch of them. I would ask them, I'd throw hints that I'm looking for a miracle. I need a miracle, man. And what that means is I need a place to stay, and who knows? If I'm really that bad off, I might even need someone to pay to take me to the show. So that in itself is a miracle. So there you go. OK, let me look at the list."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T05:07:30+00:00","id":30232,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30231,"text":" Bill is my rust translator. He is my everybody translator. Everybody is my everybody translator. He said something like that he could have started it but that there might have been an interruption and he would have had to split it. And then it was in that conversation where we decided well they usually don't like that so here I'll take it for you and I guess that was that but probably he'll explain it to you like the skinny of it. All I know is it happens a lot like a big lot and there's never really much of an explanation. It's usually a scheduled phone call or an anticipated computer issue or something to that effect but I can never really nail it down completely. But I guess that's on me. Either way Kevin thanks for picking up the net man. Definitely much appreciated and hello good morning to everybody that checked in so far. It's been a slice having to listen man I'd like to have a slice right now like a big old slice of dirty old pizza. But anyhow. There's not really much going on. I'm not overly awake this morning. I'm kind of dragging my heels here. I gotta go out here now in about ten minutes. So I best to wake my ass up but keep me on the list Kevin. I'll be on one of you Casey. Okay now they're saying the government lines are hitting the pick up pick up the pickets today. Like one location is the Victoria Jack Davis building. And then a few years ago they hit some government liquor warehouses. So across British Columbia there's this job action strike. There's a Labour Minister like speaking right now on the global news. I'm kind of getting it in the headphones and then just repeating it back to you and she's causing all the ruckus. I was just listening to what she was saying but anyways yeah so I don't know if it'll affect the rest of the country. It's a big deal right now in British Columbia. I'm not there of course I'm just listening to their news. Okay so the next station and yeah I've pretty much broken it down to a yes no answer. If you can't do it I'll pitch it for you and then that's fine. That's just my short of it. I've stopped trying to figure out the alibis. I can't so it's a yes no answer. If I'm around chances are I should be. I'm not my brother so chances are I have every intention of being around. All right so I think that for the most part I can promise you an almost complete go. As I said I'm not Keith from Michigan. I'm up in here. I'm going to be up in here. I have every plan and intention to be in the house. So that being the case it's a yes no answer and probably no would be you know if I'm absolutely. People plan on being dead but not me. Okay Steve over to you. What's happening with you Steve?

They're modular construction so they can put them together in any modular thing that you need. Some of them are toilets, some of them are pitch-cut office areas.

Yeah, I kind of knew Europe and places like that were familiar with those. Because they introduced certain aspects to Canada like the portables for the classrooms where they run out of classrooms and they have to make more. So somebody on those neck of the woods, your neck of the woods, showed it to the Canuckians. So that was the deal there. And good luck with your extra. Yeah, or that's good that you passed, so good that you had good luck. Let me just say it right. And yeah, if it was American, I would say, hey, now you get 25k more. 25 kilohertz more. But I don't, you know, I guess you might have new pastures of your sort and your type where you live. So maybe you ain't thinking about 25, like a spot on the dial, in other words. That's what that means. You get a bigger spot on the dial. But America is the only place that will have extra bands and tech bands. Canada has done away with that. They don't care. America goes out of their way to mark their class licensees. Canada doesn't do that. America wears it like a badge. They need call signs that tell you what they are. Canada doesn't do that. America has to absolutely, loudly proclaim that this call is a special call and you can't have this call. No other station can have this call. They are very jovial about their calls. Right? Almost like, this is WJZ. No other station can make that statement. Remember that whole thing? Well, extra calls or any type of class calls in the States are like that. They are for bragging rights. They have to have it even in their letters. Canada and Europe and the rest of the world have gotten over that. They are above that. They are bigger than that. They don't do that. They have decided in their way, if we really care what you are, we will go to the database and sweat you. Otherwise, until we ask, ST, shut the front door. Okay, Steve!

This is N0BF checking in. Well thanks for picking me up off the text box. Last time I was talking, but everybody else was talking. So when my little screen went red here, I was talking to myself I guess. But now I am mainly talking out to the world. But this is breakfast. I just finished breakfast number three. I have been eating breakfast the whole time you guys have been talking. Anyway, so porta potties, yeah those are nice. I went to a really beautiful porta potty in Buffalo, New York. We had a big get together with 13 cousins. All got together and my wife was one of them. Anyway, it was kind of fun because they had a porta potty there and it was air conditioned and it was really streamlined. It was quite fancy out there in the middle of the field. It had a solar generator. Anyway, so what else to say? I guess they have those for the kids now. I was on Morse code this morning and I did single sideband. I did ten lots and I have a homemade antenna. I am operating porta pot on my house which is almost empty. You can probably hear the echo. And we are going to be leaving here and heading to Ohio the first part next week. So I got the cars packed and we are going to move to the hotel here Friday. Anyway, back to you. Of course, you guys won't know all that because I will just be on my cell phone which I take pretty much everywhere I go so I can check in. I hope you heard some of this. Please keep me on there Kevin. And you will be up. Okay, sorry about that Steve. I just didn't even realize that happens to you. It's one reason. Now that phenomenon is why I have two things going when I get in on the repeater because well like you know the frequency because I don't trust my phone 100%. It does two things. Either it will lock up and I don't even realize it so that I am broadcasting my whole house or what you just had happen will happen to me. I will be like putting out the Guinnessburg address and I am talking to myself. Everyone is just carrying on and I never got through. So what happens is I try, I just don't even get in when I am mobile. There used to be a time I would be subway mobile and all that but I don't do that. I just don't trust my phone 100%. The buttons are unstable. The touch tones. They do funny things. Sometimes they will just start, sometimes the buttons will just go wild and just keep pressing and I can't make it stop except to hang up. And other times it will hit like double keys when I only want one. The blind shell has all kind of weird things. I just don't really talk about it. But yeah, so since it does that and it acts like that I almost never get in mobile. There is some exceptions right. Like Saturday I got in on Scars that way but nobody gets in on Scars. Very following kind of incident. But yeah, I understand your situation very well. So now that I know and I am super aware of it I will just try to keep asking. So until you sign I will know to just ask and try to get you up in there. So thanks a lot Steve and I hope you have a great day. Okay and we will get back to you.

I hope you're having a good one and I hope everybody else is too. It's Tuesday morning. We have started, excuse me, a new month so we are in September 2nd. September 2nd. Tick tock, tick tock. Busy this morning. That's getting on the net later. We're getting a little man ready for school. They came over early this morning, right Chris? Since we missed a day of work yesterday because of the holiday, I'm already getting started with work. Anyhow, that's all the report in this morning. I will stay on for the long haul. KJ5, ILQ, back to net control. Alright, no problem. That is so crazy. I'm not even thinking it's September 2nd. I'm honestly still a few weeks behind. Now yesterday, two things that I know of closed. The PNE closed for their last year's special because they're a yearly event. And so this year they closed. I forgot what the major shows were there. Just like I forgot, well no, there was, I was going to say I forgot the major thing for the CNE. There was the big, well the thing that I always remember, because I never remember the performers. Because I used to don't care about seeing them. But the big air show was the final thing, the final highlight. At least to me, right? And that's funny. It's like you're flying. How do you see the airplanes to begin with? And anyways, that was like I guess the big deal of the CNE. And I remember on City TV news yesterday, they said that after five, doors were closed and nobody could get in and nobody could come back. I don't know. And then I think they packed them all in after 10pm. I used to like, see this is the thing I'm going to kind of miss. I used to like Breakfast Television's coverage of it. Like I would watch Breakfast Television at least the first hour of it. I was busy later. I couldn't watch their whole morning, right? They're on for four hours. So I would watch the first hour of it and somewhere in that hour they had a, like one of their reporters at the CNE grounds. And I used to always like those segments. But I never got to really hear a lot of them. Like last week for instance. I got distracted listening to something else so I would break away from them so I never really heard them. But yesterday, I got to for their last day and then the funny thing is Breakfast Television wasn't even really on. So it was the people in the studio and then their head man that they sent out to the CNE, right? And they reported things. Okay, I am at the bottom of the list and talking long on purpose to get out more check-ins and take as long as I can to roll to the top. But that might be, it might be a pending inevitability. Anyone else that would like to get in before I actually have to do that? And I want to get you guys in the cyphers. You know what that means. So I'll be waiting to do that.

Good morning to everybody in the group. I'm doing fantastic this morning. And you seem to be doing well for me so far. I think off of the QT and there was three flatbeds. And each flatbed had three Army cargo ceiling transports on it. You know, the big 2,000 gallon containers. We didn't know all the ball food or anything really. And so I was talking to one of the drivers there. He's going to pick up a contract from the government to haul gasoline up to Chicago. And they're dropping them off at various locations up there. And I'll see if he knows why and if he doesn't know and if I did I wouldn't know. So something's going on. The government's shipping up fuel to Chicago for some event. I don't know if you see. I remember a good weekend. Maybe they're going well. It could become a mellow week this week. Neither my wife nor I myself have to go in to see a doctor. It's a good week. But anyhow, I'll be here for a while. So CBRS Kevin KV0MA on him. Yep, no problem George. Good to hear you. George is usually on on the pre-med. I say random things and interrupt. And that's how I go. He's kind of busting on a cue. So like that's what I do. Almost what I do on HF. Don't you find it easier to interrupt someone on HF? Doesn't it seem kind of creepy to call yourself? Right? You would like, okay, the way they want you to do it. The way they're doing it. Is they want you to sit on a random frequency. Let's say on 20 meters. Nobody's there and they want you to just call like a dope. So do you do that? Do you sit there and see cue like a queer? Or do you just look for someone to interrupt? I look for someone to interrupt. I'm not bothering with that. Ain't no CQ CQ's here. That's gay. But I'll usually look to bust in on somebody. And how do you do it, right? You look for, you start by looking for someone that's cross channeling the hell out of you. And then you know that they're probably, there's a good chance they're going to hear you. You follow the cross channel and you find the jackass that's making all that noise. And you finally find him and he's 20 over. Either he's pretending or he's got junk in his ears. You know, so you tell him to clean the junk out of your ears. Whatever, right? So, I don't know. CQ CQ. I can't, oh, I just. It's creepy. I just say, I know people do it on net too. It's like, yo, we don't say that on net. CQ CQ CQ. But anyways, okay. CQ CQ. A pentofrequencea. A pentofrequencea. So, I don't know. Um. I guess if nobody did that ever, then you would never find anybody. But when do you realize you're trying too hard? I don't know. Anyways, alright. So, the next station. Oh, by the way, that's very good that Alan's being helpful and helping out the other station that's having trouble connecting. Able to text. So, Alan's troubleshooting with someone else right now.

So, alright, since there's people that travel, and a lot of people that are mobile, can you find affordable hotels that fit your needs when you travel? That can also be, can you get good prices on Airbnbs? Are they actually there when you need them? So it's not a scam. Or do you just simply stay with somebody instead? Now that's the latter, I do. Often times, like I gotta go to Vancouver before Thanksgiving, and I'm gonna be gone there until January. You best believe I'm staying with somebody. I'm staying with a lady friend. And it's a school friend, and she basically invited me to the Christmas that they're doing at her house, because she knew that I'm not gonna be going anywhere for Christmas this year. Last year I went to Pollock Pines, and since everyone in Canada has abandoned going to the States, she didn't want me left out without a Christmas, so she said come and spend time with us. And the last time we kicked it and we did that, it was a lot of fun. So best believe I'm staying with somebody. The other choice was I probably could have rented like an ARB&B, and honestly they cost about the same as hotels. I mean I thought you were supposed to save a little bit, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Some of the listings that I saw, they were pretty hefty. There's nothing that I wanna pay. So all I gotta pay was staying with her, I better not say that part. But anyways, I don't know that I can always pay the things she wants. Sooner or later I have to talk.

I still see the plastic ones that the construction workers use at the construction sites, but at schools and at other locations. I've seen them get square boxes with a stairway going up and they're attached to a generator or something that allows them to flush and to have air conditioning, which is good, especially if you have to really go and you don't want to go to a location that looks like a construction site.

But yeah, at the school, at the office, there's been times, even in the dead of winter, when the sun glares in and it makes the room so hot, like to where you can't even walk around very hardly, even with the slippers, because it's so hot. I'll flick on the room unit, the cold unit, once in a while, and put some cold air into the place. And then when someone in the next... The next classroom is connected with a little back room, usually one of those people will say, hey, why is it so cold in here? And then I'll get the message and I'll shut it off so they won't find out that it was me. But yeah, those units are great. But they're lifesavers in the triple temperatures, which I think, I'm reasonably sure, we're thrilled with. But you never know. Stranger things have been known to happen.

I think some of these Airbnbs that I've seen around here, they've got some investors that are trying to buy up homes and they have a whole crew to back them up and they go in and remodel the home. And they make it look really nice inside because they found, of course, if you have more to offer you can charge more and it's a better return for them for the homes they buy to fix them up really nice. But you're going to pay a premium for that and most of these Airbnbs are like that and they look for nice neighborhoods. These are people that have some capital to invest in it. So I imagine they're making a lot of money. I know that the Airbnb stocks has always done good. I haven't seen it lately. It might not be. It hasn't come on my radar at all as a high flyer. It might be a slow and steady mover but I'd have to double check on that. If it was crashing I'd hear about that. When I travel, when I've traveled, I've gone with groups. So we had a whole plane once to get from one place to another because the group was so large. And then we got deals that way. And sometimes when I travel it's with family so we stay there and when they come here they stay here. They don't have to go to hotels. So I guess I've got a whole well-rounded way to go different places. When I went on business trips I had a room and the company paid for it. There were times where I'd just go to be in a hotel to get away. And I've done that before. I remember that since I had been to this hotel a few times I got upgraded.

Is that what's going on here? Pretty wild. Anyway, so yeah, I built the, designed and built the data center in Englewood, New Jersey for their US operation. That was pretty cool. Oh, and okay, VRBOs and Airbnbs. This, I thought this was a VRBO, Les informed me, she corrected me and said, no, it's an Airbnb. I usually don't like the idea of living in a room in somebody else's house and paying for it. That I don't like. Now, this is a self-contained house, two floors, all that stuff. So that's where we are standing right now. And they come, you can spend a week at a hotel, especially in New York, and you will get right up around the same price as we're paying for our own little house, our own little address. And I really like doing it that way because you don't feel trapped. You can wander around, you can get away from each other. If I'm snoring and it's another bedroom I can go into, or if I want to do something different like watch TV, I can just go downstairs and watch TV. I really like that.

It stands 64 meters or 210 feet, post-modern war style building, and houses the legislative assembly for Newfoundland and Labrador. And it's situated at a high elevation on Confederation Hill. It's 11 stories. So that's the answer to the tallest building in St. John's, Newfoundland. Government building. But I'm home. We made it home last night. Got to sleep in my own bed. I took my student over to the hotel using the truck. And this morning, I got to go pick her up, which means I got to leave soon and take her over to the yard. There was a situation where there was a video event that happened sometime in the last four days or so that may cause her to not be able to graduate until she gets her safety score down. So we're waiting to hear about that, because yesterday was a holiday in case anybody forgot, and they have to wait until the safety director comes in and looks at it and decides whether or not he's going to let it stand or if he's going to overrule it. So she's waiting on that. My brother ended up driving out from Alabama. He is at my mother's house tonight, and she's up at her friend's, but I know she was over there for a little while. But there may be problems in my brother's world, I guess. And he may be at the end of his marriage with his wife. They've been married for about 27 years now. But she's been going to school, and she's a social worker. But I think she just got her master's. I'm not sure. She was in Washington, DC, and did a whole bunch of stuff there.

It's not finished. We need to trim it out. My wife's going to trim it out with black trim. It's going to be black and white. And then I've got to do something to the front of the actual coop. It looks too bland. It's a big white wall that needs to be different. I'm happy to make it look like an old West building. It wouldn't be that hard to do. It would be kind of fun actually. You know, suddenly seeing an old West ghost town. You know, like a saloon building or something. I don't know. Just thinking out loud. Oh, after having the last three and a half days off of work, it's time to start work again. I've got a million emails to go through. That'll take up my time for a little bit this morning. And then I've got some requests that I need to get working on. So that seems like I'm going to have a fairly busy day. So with that, I will pass it on to George. Oh gosh, I didn't write down his call sign. I should have. Anyhow, George, this is Josh sending it. Wait, hang on. I got his call sign because I got my notes from last time. K-B-0-M-A-I. Look at that. Still got my name, my name Net Notes for Friday sitting on my desk. Anyhow, this is KJ5IRQ sending it over to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T06:01:39+00:00","id":30279,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30278,"text":" Thanks cat appreciate it buddy.

That's my theory I could be wrong but who knows. Yeah I like to travel, I've been in Kentucky many a times and Ohio and down by Tennessee and Chicago and so forth up northern Indiana. Yeah, Airbnbs or just a Motel 5 or something like that or hand fins or something that gets them kind of decent for probably I'd say around here in eastern Indiana probably around $100 or less so it just depends on what you want to take and what's your poison there.

You know what they're doing although. It's wrong They're basically and it's like a game of cat and mouse with the staff and the students Because they're doing their homework completely with chat GPT I'm gonna snitch up some of the young ones that I know that told me that what they do is They'll get their queries with chat GPT and then change the answers because what happens is There's a program schools have programs like that will know that you're plagiarizing and copying Right like one program that we use I'm glad I'm on the we part of it It's copy skate So if you're quoting things anything from songs Passages and books especially right like you're not going to just rip a piece off of Moby get and say it's yours It'll snitch you out Right what it'll do is you put in the text, and then it'll give you links and references within that text even if it's not required and If you click on the links, it'll suggest that you'll find some of the text into it, and it's very good So what kids have to do now is just totally? Change their answers to the point now that if they actually work hard enough on it. They're working It's like I thought you were trying to get a shortcut through that so it's crazy to be a student now because There's no way to verify that it's their work. I mean I guess you can tell if somebody is learning You can tell if somebody knows the stuff I Mean you sit with them, and if you actually quiz them on their paper You'll know in seconds if they are confident about what's on the paper right But most the time if they're not doing that if the kids aren't getting individual help they can get away with so much crap Right so there's like now this I call it the XYL Method of doing tests and exams to where I got that from was ham right because oftentimes Ham operators for some strange reason want their wives into the hobby All Right and You know because they're it because the guys are into the hobby so they want someone they want You know someone to confer with someone else who will pretend Because that's what they're doing Pretend that they care about the hobby. I mean I would think if they cared about it They would have already been steps ahead of you, so you know they talk their wives into it right sometimes They'll talk their daughters whatever anyone who's mature enough And they're taking a test, and they don't care so they just cram the hell out of it They just memorize answers, and then they pass But they ain't really passing, but they passed That's the XYL method of it, and you can always kind of tell those women to say That they don't take initiatives, so I'm not talking about every woman, okay Talking about these women they don't take initiatives Without somebody just kind of pushing them along because they don't give a shit You manipulate them and you convince them to get on the air just because you don't want to be alone You don't want to be the lone gunman and so you want to have peeps because you see that these other people do and They don't care it's kind of the same as little kids right because people Little kids are not motivated They're not gonna get on the air anymore on their own the way you dream about so of course you got to give them credits biscuits and crackers and phones Bicycles and tablets you got to pretty much bribe them to take the test they take the test They don't give a shit about it all right. They don't pursue the hobby if they were going to pursue the hobby They wouldn't need your ass Needling them they'd already be doing it. There's aspects to get into the hobby Once people stop doing it. They won't do it like for instance. I got into it because I loved AMD X I loved short way through shortwave I learned about CB and then of course I loved CB because it was a free band And then I learned what a free band actually means That it's also phraseology but You count them what ten-year-old is going to be thinking about that now. I mean these are new times, so It's it's a tough world out there as far as hobbyist goes but Anyways all right I Talked it up on purpose a little bit more because I want to try to see we get some new names So if you would like to check in coming now is that like the time?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T06:12:57+00:00","id":30284,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30283,"text":" Alrighty, yeah, thanks a lot.

He's doing his best. OK, let's get her back, all right? Let me get you another question here. OK, curious about something. I've lived in places and it's really funny when they don't have these services. So, do you have subways where you live? Subway systems where you live? Do you ride the subway or have those services where you live? There are certain places where, well, because subways are underground, the tunnels are underground. So, if you were to build them like in some of the hick states, right, you would tap in the water, I mean, you would flood the whole place, right? Or not even just a hick place, but maybe like Jamaica or something like that. You would flood all of Jamaica, right? So, they wouldn't have them. And I think in parts of California when they do have them, I think that underground part is kind of rebuilt so it will work, right? It's the same as when they have the basement dwellings. They're not really truly basement dwellings, right? They have like some kind of underground floor and they're calling it the basement. But it isn't like how here in Toronto you're in the basement, right? Like you're actually in the element of where the bums and the rats would be. But in those other places with the fault, I'm going to kind of call it a fault bottom, you're still kind of shielded from them, right? You're not going to be running into little peasants with laptops and phones and miles and miles and miles and miles and body weight of escriman and dirt, right? So, just wondering if you have a subway system where you live, and I don't mean a subway restaurant, and if you use it and if you like it. So, I just thought I would throw that out there.

The E3FBX, thanks Kevin. No subway where I'm at, I'm in the middle of nowhere in Ontario. But I was in Montreal for 20 years and it was all BMW, bus metro walk. It's a great way to get around the city when you don't need a vehicle with you. I love them, they were great, a little crowded at rush hour but other than that they're amazing. Back to the DMR and All Star thing, I was more worried about running my own personal hotspots because I'd like to be able to get around the house and the yard with just a handheld. Just wondering, because I've only got my basic with honors, I haven't got my advanced yet, if I'm going to catch crap for running them as a local node slash repeater. Back to you Kev. Going to you Casey, were you to comment? You'll be okay, I break the rules all the time. I'm not trying to influence you, I'm just saying, if you're just, yeah you're using, I do the hotspot thing too but I do it different from you. But in explanation of what you're doing, before I pass it to the next station, you're just basically tethering with your phone or wherever your hotspot is, which whips you like a phone. That's totally fine, if you use it to run All Stars, that's fine, if you use it to run Echolink, that's fine. Where it isn't fine and where I've broken the rules is when you cross band on regular FM, like 2 meter cross band. You have to be advanced to do the fun part of it. You don't have to be to do the boring part of it. Okay, the boring part of cross band is maybe HT to HT, when nobody hears you. The fun part of it is using your external antenna and turning yourself into a repeater and cross banding yourself into Japan. You have to be absolutely advanced for that. And then the other one where you have to be advanced, although people told me there's revisions on this, so you guys might know this better than me, my knowledge is 31 years old. Well, if I go back to when I was first licensed, I was licensed in 94 before the OJ trial. Anyways, so he's still on the run. So, it was before they said you better let him walk or else this place will burn down. But anyways, kind of different from the Rodney trial. But anyways, the other point to make note of is if you run a node on Echolink and put it on FM. If you put a node on FM from Echolink and you're controlling Echolink with your HT, if it's mad short distance, you're allowed. But once you get, like if you run it with your external antenna, like let's say you got a UBS 300, about 30 feet up in the air, you know, it's like an Antron 99 except for 2 meters though, then that would be a no-no because then others can access your Echolink node. So, if you wanted to like let's say bring your Echolink node to Niagara Falls from Toronto, no. You can't do it without advance. You have to be advanced. That's where the Americans have the edge over you because they can do all this stuff with their techie license. They can cross band and they can run long range nodes on Echolink. But with the license we have, I'm a basic Morse code. So, it's almost about the same as your basic with honors. I just got mine before yours and they called it something else. It's HF privileges but you have the short chain from the advance. Now, if they have, I've been told that there's new rules now for Echolink nodes. And so, if that's the case, someone has to drop that to me because I don't know it fully. I got in trouble a few times for running my cross band node just simply because someone from far away keyed into it. And then they got on my ass for it. I still ran it anyway. Screw them. I don't care what Gary, BE3TOT thinks. He could go eat a fat one. That's what I think. And so, see, I remember stuff. Yeah, he wrote up on me about it in the 2000s and I remember. I remember everything I talked to everybody about. And he outed me on the OAK machine and just kind of made an ass out of me in front of a few people. But since at least two out of the three of them in that Fuso are dead, I no longer feel like that. But I'll do something for him one day. I don't know what it is. Maybe whizzing his corn flakes or something. But I'll get back to him one day. Don't you worry about that. Maybe if I hit skid row, I might have to snuff him. Alright. D.

It's just this rain this Thursday but I know how the meteorologists are around Indiana they can tell you that we're going to get 10 through the snow one day and that one day comes and we get a third of rain instead so they don't know they're a hole from a hole in the ground basically. Just putting it nicely. Hi, hi. Just sitting here hanging out with XYL. She's an extra class ham. We just spaced and her license expired and you get so much grace time.

Yeah it's under a hush so everybody else can get their turn. D83KKY Whiskey Juliet 9 Echo back to you Kevin. Yeah there was one more left. There's one more left. You know honestly I broke a lot of rules on CB anyway and ain't nobody done nothing to me so I think some of it you know if all of it's experimental then just do it. Don't let some of the license structure be a hindrance. I mean people can be a hindrance and that's just too bad. Yeah if you have a repeat or comp that you know that's always around then yeah obviously then watch your back. There used to be a guy who was really bad at everybody's behavior like just pointing out everybody. See if any well I don't think anyone can. In western New York there was Dennis Langer K2CEC. He was horrible. And the problem was solved when he got the dirt net. So that's another one you can probably see. It's been over 20 years because the last time he shined was in the 2000s. His ass still dead. So I guess he won't be worried about anyone's operating procedures but he used to be really horrible for that. Think about what you do like on the highway right? You're not behaving. And so ham radio is kind of one of those kind of highways. I don't know. I'm picturing that if I drove I'd probably get tons of tickets or tons of citations. I am not. Which is easy for me to say because I'll never drive. But I'm not doing that whole phone out of your car radio deal. I hate it. I love my headphones and my phone in my pocket. That's how I roll. I don't know if there's pigs just sitting around waiting to look for that. But it just seems to me like that makes life a lot more easier. You can twiddle and twirl your phone and drive at the same time. Because everybody's doing everything else and driving at the same time. I don't know. I just kind of picture myself. Even with my phone it's got buttons. I can push buttons with it in my pocket. I would imagine unless they're focusing no one would even fully really know. But I hate those things where and everybody does it where they talk with their phone hooked up to a loud speaker. But then what happens is the microphone is also the loud speaker. So then you start transmitting everything that's in your car. Well these headphones won't do that. So I don't know. I guess I'd be a really crappy driver. I guess I'd have a million citations. I'd be like Mario. My friend Mario who's always in trouble for something. I think now, I think probably the next time he can legally drive, probably even after he pays all his violations, I think it'll be like the year 3000. Anyhow, he's Portuguese.

To answer your question, sorry, this is VA4SMC returning. In Winnipeg, no subways whatsoever. But I did live in Edmonton. And they had the light rail train, which at the time, I don't know how it is now, but it would run from the northeast corner of Edmonton down to downtown and then to, I think, the university. But at some point there, just before downtown, I would go underground and turn into a subway kind of thing. But I took that from, I live in the northeast part of Edmonton, and I took that LRT to downtown and then picked up a sky shuttle to the airport, the air traffic controller. So it was all like mass kind of transportation. Nav Canada did pay for the tickets for the sky train, so it was just the cost of getting a monthly pass for the LRT train. So it was a nice commute. Didn't have to start a car for many years there, so it was nice and pretty convenient. The sky shuttle ran all the time, the train ran all the time, and it was good, but nothing like that in Winnipeg. I work just outside the city of Winnipeg, so I have to drive a car out there every day. Well, not every day, but the days I work, obviously. And yeah, about the All Star note, I always wondered that too, because I know it is an unattended note that's broadcasting. When I walk around the neighbourhood, that's why I got it, so I can just connect to the local repeaters that use All Star while I'm walking the dog and be able to hit them. But I always wondered, because if I'm walking around the neighbourhood, then these other people can hear it too.

And in order to deal with that, I need screenshots of text messages. That was completely me. That was something I said to everyone that we need, you know? The system is recorded 24-7 automatically. So I can go back and I can listen to anything that was said, right? But when it comes to the text box, one, it's not FCC regulated, right? So, it's not. It's like writing something down on a piece of paper outside a building. Like, yeah, people can see it. And should you say some things that have been said? Absolutely not. But it's not technically breaking a law. But there is. I mean, just general human decency people. Like, even there's people out here I'm not particularly fond of. I wouldn't say I can't stand them or I don't like them or whatever. There's just, you know, some people whose attitude or opinions or whatever don't click with my own. But I'm not going to get my knickers in a tizzy over that. Let me reset once more. This is repeater station. Just try to get along. If something serious goes on, let me know. But don't go battling on everybody for the littlest things. I mean, you know, teacher, teacher, you know? That's not cool either. And I mean, as adults, if you've got an issue with someone, either clear it up or don't. That's the two choices you got, right? And as far as people leaving the net, okay, don't contact me and use that as like a weapon. Well, I don't like this or that. I'm leaving the net. Okay, leave. It's all good. Leave. That's your choice. If you want to participate, participate. If that's your choice, let it be your choice. You know what I mean? We're all adults. And as adults, we make our own decisions. But I don't want messages from anybody saying, I don't like what he said. I'm going to leave the net. Fine, leave. That's the answer you're going to get from me. Just fine, leave. You know? If you want to stay if this is your favorite thing to do in the morning, excellent. It's one of my favorite things to do as well. And I love coming out here every day and listening to what everybody has to say. Whether I agree with it or not, it's not going to make me cry. I don't need a box of tissues next to my desk. You know? But people are going to disagree, folks. They are. They're going to. But if a disagreement is enough for you to leave the net, then you didn't really enjoy it that much anyway. So I'm not going to police disagreements between people or I don't like this one because he wears a blue shirt. I don't like his hat or sunglasses. Give it up. Be adults, people. Be adults. Anyhow, stick around for the worldwide friendship net. There will be some left to it by the time we get clear here. Stick around. Join in. V01 UKC 73, everybody. It'll be sooner than you think because I only have one more name left. But let me just quickly say let me do the dissing because I've been around 31 years and people that have been around for decades are no pushovers. OK. I'm not saying I can murder everybody, but I have a little bit of leeway to do certain things. I think because I used to be way worse. That's the aspect and part of me you guys don't know. I used to be way worse. I would say ask Randy, but if he tells, I'll knock his block off. Which will be very hard because he's like three feet taller than me. So that's going to be pretty hard to do. Anyway, I have a little staying power. So let me do the cursing. And if you choose to, blame me for it. Because they ain't touching me. I'm not saying I'm a jammer and I'm going to blast music. But if you have any controversial things to say, especially about bussies, put it on me. Just say goddamn Kevin. Alright? Because they ain't touching me. I promise you that. But I better promise you the last station on this list and get us out of here. So, Bill for finals.

Got to go with my dad, had to go look at the truck or the Jeep here in the next little while. We were out on Saturday night, very late Saturday night, picking my niece up from a party, and a couple of studs in our front passenger side wheel snapped off on the highway. And then we got where we were going, we realized we lost more than a couple. We had lost three out of five, so we tried to creep our way home, not on the highway. But then we lost the other two studs and the wheel fell off the car and launched itself into the woods. So needless to say, we had to leave the Jeep where it was Saturday night. And we had to go now and look at the damage, because when it hit the ground, it did some damage. The Jeep slid like 20 feet, probably broke off a brake line, maybe a couple other things. But needless to say, we need to get a new hub with five fresh studs and get that put on there. And I'm hoping, I'm hoping and hoping that when I call the garage for myself this week, I'm hopefully going to get my bike in there and everything, all the money put together to get it done. I'm just waiting on the garage, let me reset. Waiting on the garage to have room outside their building in their holding lot for my bike. Because right now, not only do they not have space in the garage, but they don't have any space outside it to even store the bike, to get it in line to get in there. So I'm really hoping that when I call them this week, they're going to get it in. Because the summer is fading away. We got down into single digit temperatures again last night. It hit six degrees Celsius. So I'm not sure what that is in Fahrenheit, but I'm betting it's not even 50. Definitely not even 50, might not even be 40. But check it out for yourselves, seven degrees Celsius. It's getting cold at night up here. And I don't have a whole lot of nice riding days left, so I really want to get that taken care of.

Yesterday went over to a car show that was about five blocks away from my house with my son. And we walked around there and they had, oh I forget how many vendors I just read in the paper over there. But there was lots of vendors. They figured they had about 100,000 people over there at the Frays Pavilion. And they had a parade yesterday. I didn't go to that but that was also within a few blocks of my house too. So it's all around us here. Anyway, I got a little bit more work done on my concrete that I've been working on. I got, where I had to piece the concrete, I used some leveling, kind of a leveling concrete that you could put on there to make sure everything is kind of, you know, doesn't have any lip on or whatever, however you want to say it. But got most of that done. I got a little bit more to do and as soon as I get that done I'll be done with the concrete work, which I'm really happy about.

And oh, but anyway, I got in there much to their chagrin and I have to tell you, yeah, I got taken care of and they gave me some good pills and some pain relievers. And I think that it might take care of my issue at least temporarily until they can get me an appointment with a surgeon. So anyway, also good news here, I got an antenna up. It's only 5 RV but I'm telling you, the stations I'm pulling in all over the world is absolutely incredible with a little G5 RV 6 feet off the ground. That's no kidding.

I wanted to say hi and we were just mushroom hunting this weekend and had fun with that. A lot of photography, beautiful weather, the natural habitat, we thought of storms but no rain. Probably mid-70s and we just want to get down in the 50s and 60s as Arctic blast heads our way here in northern Michigan. We are located just outside of Traverse City, a little town, a park college called Interlochen. So we'll say back to Minutin, Nice to meet you. I didn't know if you heard me in here before but I have been in here. The handle here is Wayne. My first name is Daniel but we do do it by Wayne. And a steel Bravo 5, julie is julie, also our first license. And down in the area, five numbers there. Kevin, back to the group and waving hands to everybody.

Didn't happen this year, not with my surgery recovery going on. Anyway, yeah I'm just going to be mucking about. Might go outside, we'll see. Well yeah, actually it'll be comfortable today. Yeah, maybe I'll put her in the garage too. Oh, and I got to call my surgeon's nurse and book an appointment for next month. Maybe call my doctor. I got this pimple on the end of my nose, at least I think it feels like a pimple. It's all dried up and it won't. I keep trying to cut it off, but it's not working. It's a pain in the you know what.

We had quite a whopper of a storm, but it was super brief, thank heavens. I saw it, they were announcing it on TV and the location of it, and the sky was just absolutely purple black. It was about dinner time. The wind came up at about 65 miles an hour, and there was a little bit of dust, but it was just very brief, thank heavens. It was blowing from the east and we just had the irrigation. We had these two big Canary Island pine trees that were about 125, 30 feet high. They were never going to come down with that soft soil, and the wind was blowing in that direction. So it was a little scary there for a few minutes, but then the good Lord just stopped it in mid-flight, I might say. It was good to hear Robert there, and glad you got some temporary help there at the VA. You're certainly in our prayers. Gosh, yeah. Hope you had a good holiday weekend.

But, yeah, we still have this monsoon weather going on. It's not delivering a lot of rain for us, though, but lots and lots of humidity and lots of heat, so not too comfortable being outside. And so part of what I'm doing today, I've got to research a raccoon problem. The darn thing is digging up my yard, and so I've been looking into all the different possibilities that I can do to take care of that, and apparently it's a very mixed kind of thing. Some say that in California you're not allowed to trap them. Of course, I would use a live trap and then just give them a vacation about ten miles away, but that may not be legal. I think I found some companies that will come in for a very high price and capture the animal and take it away. But anyway, I've got to do something because I've got some new grass coming in and it keeps digging up holes in it, and it's a real pain. But other than that, we're planning on a large symposium for the UCI students to present on their work on the JENE, and we hope to invite all the aerospace and engineering companies to come and hear all the great things that they're doing. I think that will be a real fun thing to do, but I've got to get it coordinated. So anyway, that makes up my day, I think. This is Glenn at Irvine, K6TKR.

Wow, I had never seen them that big, but however, well, you've seen them that big, but it was even bigger when they sell sometimes and do a judge on it, you know, but those two ones, why I have, it's unbelievable. So I have one for the backyard and one for the front yard, so I just have to carve them out in October, so I'm waiting for that. So yes, I will take some pictures and I send them the choice, see what you think about it. Hi, hi, but not today, it's overcast here, so maybe a day later on or next day. So 73 after all, take care, just about I didn't hear everyone this morning, but I slept in. 73, I'm Victor, I can't believe I'm back to neck and roll. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, November, all star node 6222. Okay, thank you very much, Rosie, for that check-in. So you're going to carve those pumpkins out. Well, I always think of pumpkin pie or pumpkin soup or something, but oh well, that's where my head is. KI7PR, good morning to you, Barbara, and how's everything going with your family?

I rushed off really quickly to answer the phone call, but I know you have to jump off here in a minute, but I just wanted to let you know that they gave me meloxicam for the pain, and they gave me prednisone.

And as far as losing control of my motor skills and my legs, no, my legs tend to go out from underneath me a little bit, but I think I'm more concerned about the tingling that I get down the front of my leg, and that's usually a sign of impending nerve damage. So, yeah, with the stenosis, I can understand why that's the case, and I can imagine if they don't do something pretty soon, I'll be in a wheelchair, but yeah, I won't say that in front of Kathy.

We didn't have much of a summer either, I've got to say. Temperatures only got up into the high 80s maybe for about a week. And that was it.

You have to like He-Man, Hulk, rip the phones off. But when you do, it turns out that it's this tacky glue-like material that holds them on. And you just pull that off, and they unsnap. There's these like snaps. It's like there's a ring that the headphone sits on. You just pull them off that ring, put the new ones on the ring, and snap it back in place, and boom, headphones fixed. So I think I'm going to buy another couple pairs just to prepare myself for the future. And then I got another headphone set for my ... I've got a headphone for my cell phone. Just a cheap little thing, but the foam pads on that gave out. And so I measured it with my handy caliper and ordered those, but they haven't come in yet. So I don't know if that's going to be successful, because they don't give you the actual diagram of what the measurements are on those replacement headphones. They should. That would make life super awesome. But oh well. So that's the main thing going on here. The other thing I wanted to mention, for some reason I saw an ad on QRZ for QRPR.com, and they have this really cool looking little QRP radio called the Thunderbird WN5C. Check it out.

I'd say it's about, I don't know, six to seven inches by four, by even about seven inches deep. It's a considerable radio. This thing looks like it's really nice.

This is John Kilo 9, Juliet Echo Bravo on mostly sunny Camano Island. Boy, such a change from this morning when the cloud deck was just over 500 feet or just under 500 feet. I couldn't see the top of the Camano Ridge there where our repeater is, which is 500 feet. It's all burned off and it's nice and sunny now. Looks like mostly blue all quadrants there. Looks like some haze is still left over. Looks like it'll be a nice day. I don't know if it'll get up to the 80s. Kind of doubtful actually, but we'll see. Anyway, 3007 on the barometer if you're into the liquid metals, as Bob would say. And let's see, no wind. It's dead calm at the moment. It was coming from the north just a little bit, but dead calm, 0.0. No precip in the bucket. Looks like a dew point of about 61, 85% humidity, so pretty standard for around here. And UV index of 6 with the 632 watts per square meter on the solar, so you can tell it's sunny. So anyway, let's see, what's happening on the ham front? Well, so I was completely unsuccessful at getting my ASL3 All-Star node to work on a Raspberry Pi, a Model B. I still don't know why. I have a feeling it's a problem with the networking, not the node itself. So for whatever reason, my router is not transmitting the UDP packets correctly or dropping some or deprioritizing them or who knows. So I figured, all right, well, to heck with it, I'm just going to go get a new Raspberry Pi. I got a 4B with 4 gigs. And I'm just going to try the ham void version of the node software on there with my old Cherry USB. And we'll see how that goes. But I fired it up yesterday, and I realized, like, wait a minute, I can't see it on my network. And it doesn't use the same HDMI. It has a micro HDMI output. So I'm like, I can't even hook it up to the display to see what it's trying to tell me. So I had to go order one of those parts, which I neglected to do. I should have remembered that it was a different thing. So hopefully that will be here tomorrow. Thanks, Uncle Jeff. And then we'll be able to get that thing up and running here and get that online. So hopefully I'll have my All Star node back up and running here before too long.

She's a golden retriever and we went and picked her up and we're having the best time with her. Well, last week was also the first week of school and even though I'm supposed to be retired, the other social studies teacher that worked with me very closely decided to retire three days before school started and they had no one to cover those classes so they called me and I couldn't leave them out. I did only work three days. We had teacher days Monday and Tuesday that I did not have to go to but I was in the classroom Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week which was totally unexpected but there you are and so we spent the weekend with the puppy and today is my first day free of school. So we're just having a great time with this dog and training and the potty training is coming along pretty good and she's getting along really well with our cat which is a good thing which really helps.

Kami here, KJ7RAB. Yep, just working and lurking. I had four days off in a row, so lots of things have piled up, and I'm working a short week this week because I have Friday off. I forgot to take vacation this year, so I'm pretty much taking off every Friday until the end of the fiscal year. And then I have an entire week off sometime in September, so lots of days off, which will be good. I really need that. I've been working, working, working. We had a really nice time over the long weekend. We drove all over the place, went up to Bellingham, went down to Gate Harbor, met with a person who we're going to be helping out with a silent key estate, and then made plans to go back and pick up all of the gear to rehome it. We'll have a list for people, a better list once we're able to go pick up that stuff. And I think we're going to go during that week that I have off, September, so around mid-September, we'll have a better list of things. So if people are looking for stuff, hit us up, let us know. All the money is going to go back to the family from the proceeds. And then what else? Oh, Robert made a whole huge pile of jerky on the smoker, and I don't think it's going to last very long, but I've been showing some self-control today. I'm not going to eat any of it while he's away at work, because that's just a slippery slope that I don't want to start down. Once you start beating it, you can't stop. It turned out really well. I know that we're going to be making more of it in the future. That's about all I've got for now, Jack. Thanks so much for hosting, and thanks for getting me in.

This all stems from a rearrangement of getting out of one entertainment center that freed up a whole bunch of wall space and I was able to put in a desk and a new entertainment center and the desk is used primarily for all my AM stuff. I got my radios and HF gear and a couple laptops and monitor and it's quite the setup. So anyway, that's the short story.

I thought I had put that one to bed when I cleaned it, but as it turned out, there was a fault. And it was unbeknownst to me whether it was in the throttle body at all or whether it was in the accelerator pedal. So I started with the throttle body, and I went to O'Reilly's, and I got a throttle body, put the new one in, and it just started throwing codes for everything under the sun. The trailer circuit, the electronic brake circuit, clearly it's the wrong one, although I cross-checked the part list and it shows that it's the right one, but it's clearly not. So anyway, I took that one out eventually, but in the meantime, then I got the accelerator pedal and brought that home, put it on, only to find out that the actual pedal itself was sticking up in the air in a way such that you couldn't use your heels to plant and then use your ball or your feet. It was just up in the air. It would have been very dangerous to try to drive it that way. I subsequently learned that it was designed for a truck with power pedals, which I don't have.

It's not really cooling down. We had a fantastic lightning storm here and I scrambled to disconnect all my cables. We had a lightning strike that was in our property boundary which is only a couple of acres. So I couldn't find where the lightning hit. I saw it out of the corner of my eyes and it was close, Jack. But no hits on the tower so we're all good there. So no, we did really good this weekend. We've got some exciting news. Pam and I are going to Las Vegas and we're going to go to the Sphere and see the Wizard of Oz. I don't know, I saw that come up and I told Pam, how spectacular would that be? You see the Wizard of Oz remastered digitally with added scenes and it's supposed to be a spectacular event so we've decided we're going to Vegas, spend four days and enjoy the Sphere. So that's what we've got going on. Oh, and is it true in Australia the drains circle the other direction when you're draining a sink or bathtub? Does the water go the other direction?

They don't really know what's going on, maybe, but I think it would be stressful. But do you move the cats when you finally get down to the very end? Do you move the cats last and how would you move 14 or 15 cats exactly? Is it one at a time or is it two at a time in small cages?

Okay, so hey, so back to the Wizard of Oz at the Sphere in Las Vegas, one of the biggest screens ever devised at any time ever in human existence. And I saw the video of how they pulled this off, okay? And it is such amazing technology. They were inventing new technology to make this work. You are going to be completely blown away, you and Pam. And you are really, really going to enjoy it. And if you can, pick up any literature they have at the presentation on how they did it. And I don't know if they'll show anything before, maybe after on how they did it, but there is a video on YouTube that is just astounding. It is really, really incredible. Alright, well I'm really curious to find out what you think of it, and do get back to us and stay cool. Yeah, there's a heat advisory issued for Idaho and Washington four minutes ago from the National Weather Service. And they say the heat advisory remains in effect until 8 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time Thursday. So there you go, temperatures range from 93 to 103 depending on where you are.

I'm guessing it's somewhere inland Washington. I'll have to look it up. Let's see here. I have some things queued up and of course I forgot them, sadly. I wonder what that station Magoo was referring to. He said he had a pretty big bed on his 3D printer. 24 by something? I wonder if that's two feet. I wonder what the coolest thing that he has remedied, repaired or fixed with that 3D printer there. Those things are pretty cool. You know at 8 Bike there's actually a company that put together an entire \u2013 this is crazy, but they printed an entire titanium bicycle, the whole thing and it was a real sharp looking bike. The company is called Number 22, NO.22 and they're out of upstate New York. I'm familiar with them because the Terry Berenson guy that I follow so closely, he has one of them. They're great bikes.

As a matter of fact I fell asleep with my scanner running during the night and the new net woke me up this morning which was a good thing because it was only about half an hour before my alarm was going to go off anyway. I was half asleep before Jack during Cammie's transmission, I think she mentioned something about Dr Pepper, I love Dr Pepper, oh I love it, love it. I'm assuming it was the soft drink she was talking about, or maybe not, don't know I was half asleep. What else is there? I've got a hand test coming up in the next, not this weekend, the weekend after so that'll be a three hour duty north so I'm looking forward to that. And what else is there to report? I think that's about all Jack but as I said haven't made the new nets a lot lately, it's just been hard with time difference but we are in spring now here in the land of the future, we have entered spring. I've noticed a great deal of difference weather wise at the present time but bring it on. Bring on the warmth and hopefully in November I'll be saying the same thing but it might be bring on the cold when I come over there. Let's say if it's not too cold in the past when I touch foot in the USA.

We've got a full Moon occurring, about the first quarter Moon on the 14th. We've got a new Moon on the 21st, and a first quarter Moon coming up on the 29th. Interesting activity on both the 7th and the 21st with the Moon. We'll talk in just a few minutes. The Moon will be at Apogee, its closest to Earth, this month. On the 10th, it will be 226,662 miles from Earth. The Moon will be at Apogee, its farthest point away from Earth this month. On the 26th, it will be 251,996 miles from Earth. Planetary highlights for September. September's sky is rich with opportunities. Titan's shadow continues to transit Saturn. The ringed planet reaches opposition along with Neptune, with both worlds in the same region of the sky. Mars is descending towards solar conjunction. Uranus is a fine binocular target while Jupiter dominates the early morning. Venus starts the month near M44, then inches closer to a conjunction with Regulus and the crescent Moon. This excerpt is from Astronomy Magazine, September 2025, page 28. On with the planets. Mercury will be at superior conjunction on the 13th. That means that Mercury is actually behind the Sun from us. When it is at inferior conjunction, that means that Mercury is between us and the Sun. Right now it's behind, it will be behind the Sun on the 13th. Mercury is rising about 530 a.m. on the 1st. Conjunction Mercury returns to the evening sky setting about 713 p.m. by month's end. Mercury is visible about 30 minutes before sunrise just above the eastern horizon during the first week of the month and about 30 minutes after sunset to the west during the last week of the month. Mercury moves from the constellation of Leo to Virgo shining at magnitude minus 1.3 on the 1st. That's it for this week's episode. I hope you enjoyed it.

The magnitude scale is an inverse logarithmic scale, meaning as the magnitudes increase, the magnitude or brightness of an object decreases by a factor of about 2.5. The dimmest object that the human eye can see is about 6th magnitude on optimum conditions, dark skies, away from the city, city lights, things like that. A magnitude 5 object is 2.5 times brighter than a magnitude 6 object, while a magnitude 7 object is 2.5 times dimmer. The scale is actually designed so that every 5 magnitudes is 100 times differential in brightness between the objects. So a magnitude 1 object, which is 5 times, 5 magnitudes brighter than a magnitude 6 object is actually 100 times brighter.

Uranus will be stationary on the 6th and neither appearing to move forward nor backward relative to the background stars. What that means is it is moving right along with the stars through the night sky. Uranus rises at 1057 p.m. on the 1st, about 858 p.m. by months end. For those of you who have been following along, you notice that these planets are now, have made their journey through the early morning hours and are starting to appear in the evening sky now. So we will look forward to those apparitions in the fall and the winter as well. Look for Uranus to the southeast in the late evening. Uranus is in the constellation of Taurus, shining at magnitude 5.7. We have Neptune will be at opposition on the 23rd, rising as the sun sets. Neptune rises at 820 p.m. on the 1st, about 621 p.m. by months end. Look for Neptune low to the east, late in the evening, within one degree of Saturn all month. Uranus is in the constellation of Pisces, shining at magnitude 7.7. So Neptune is a full seven magnitudes greater than Saturn, which means it is well over 100 times dimmer, probably closer to 130 times dimmer than Saturn. But for these two, they are very close together. So if you can find Saturn rising, you may be able to see Neptune. It will be just almost horizontal with it at a nine o'clock position soon after it rises within about two full moon widths, maybe a little closer than that. Look for that. Even though it appears that Neptune is rising a few minutes earlier than Saturn, it is just because of the geometry of the orbit. It is not leading it. It almost appears like it is trailing it. Saturn is a little bit below it when it rises. It will swing around and you can watch them all night."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T18:32:45+00:00","id":30779,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30778,"text":" And at least the Neptune will be at its best as well this year or this month. So this will be a great time to get out there with even binoculars for a small telescope to see if you can spot both Saturn and Neptune. Neptune is rather elusive and a little trickier to spot but since you have got Saturn very, very close it will make it a little easier to spot. Neptune is kind of a bluish, you will see a bluish dot. Saturn's rings are nearly edge on. So you will see most of the Saturns both in the northern and southern hemispheres and you may also want to look to see if you can see Titan moving across the face of Saturn as well. It's Saturn's largest moon, Titan. That's what's called a transit. So take a look for that as well. The planets do show up as a discernible disk through the eyepiece. So all Uranus you will see a definite there and Neptune you will see a discernible disk as opposed to a pinpoint of light. The stars will look like pinpoints no matter how you look at them because they are so far away. But the planets you will see a disk so definitely look for that. For our dark planets we have Ceres rising in the sky at 955 pm on the first, 746 pm by month end. Ceres can be spotted to the south near midnight when it is highest in the sky. Ceres is in a constellation of Cetus shining at magnitude 7.8 and it's actually not that high for those of us here in the Denver area. Further south you get the higher you will be. Pluto rises at 553 pm on the first about 354 pm by month end. The best time to spot Pluto will be in the late evening when it is highest in the sky to the south. Pluto is in the constellation of Capricornus shining at magnitude 15.2. As always good luck at spotting Neptune, Ceres and Pluto. A large telescope and dark skies will be needed. For Pluto you will definitely need at least a 10 to 12 inch size mirrored telescope to see that one for sure. My 8 inch telescope will not cut it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T18:34:54+00:00","id":30780,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30779,"text":" The dimmest eye through my telescope is about 11.5 and that is pushing its limit to magnitude 12. You will definitely need some larger scopes. With Pluto, very dark skies, lots of patience and may have to look in the same spot several nights in a row to see what little dot moves relative to the background sky. Moving very, very slowly. It may take a while to figure that one out. Meteor showers. There are no major meteor showers. No major meteor showers are active in September. We enter a bit of a low excitement of August. We do have some minor ones though. Right now, meteor dust from thousands of comets passing over the eons is visible before dawn as the zodiacal light. As sunlight reflecting off the dust creates a faint glow, you will need a very dark eastern horizon with no street lights nearby. Higher elevations get a better view too. The zodiacal light appears as a faint color to glow aligned with the ecliptic. That is the line that the sun and the planets, the invisible line that the sun and the planets follow across the sky. Or basically if you put a light bulb at the center of the earth, it would be the line that the equator would shine on. The imaginary line that would be across the sky where the equator is. On September mornings, well before dawn, the high angle of the ecliptic benefits views of it. The broad base of the glow is in Leo. As that constellation rises and narrows higher in the sky through Cancer and Gemini. Catch it on moonless nights in the third and fourth week of September for the darkest skies.

We have comet C2024 E1 Wirchow. It's passing through the constellation of Borealis high to the west in the evening. Mid month will be the easiest time this month to spot the comet shining around. 12th to 10th magnitude at an alien scope or greater and dark skies will be needed to view it. So again, you may have to wait until later in the month to spot that one. Well, the full moon is on the 7th. After that, you may have to contend with some waning, waning gibbous moon in the late evening and early morning. All right, speaking of those full moons and new moons, a partial solar eclipse occurs on the 21st. This eclipse is visible from New Zealand plus a thin strip of Australia's eastern coast and parts of Antarctica. So if you're traveling south, you might be able to see that partial eclipse. Ah, the longest lunar, total lunar eclipse since 2022. Totality will be visible from Australia, Asia, Africa, and Europe. Around 85% of the world's population has a chance to see this eclipse. Oh, I forgot to put in that date. That will be on the 7th. I have some corrections to make on my newsletter here. So if you happen to be traveling halfway around the world over to India, which is basically where that lunar eclipse is centered on, you may see that. I'm sure you've seen plenty of websites presenting that on their webcams and things like that. But we'll have to travel. Basically, if you draw a line, a longitudinal line from here all the way north to the other side of the world, that's where you're going to see that lunar eclipse.

For those of you who may be interested in ISS passes over your local area, the visible ones anyway, actually if you're looking for all of the passes as well, but right now we talk about visible passes. It's a little more interesting to see, but also you can, oh, oh, oh, oh, track them during the day for those of you who like to work satellites or see where the ISS is or work some of the satellite TV that they do every now and then. Right now, you may want to check out this website, www.heavens-above.com, that's www.heavens-above.com. And the one reason I like about this particular website is it gives me a nice list of the visible passes over the Denver area anyway. But put in your home coordinates and you put in your home coordinates and you can log in and it will come up with fairly accurate time for the ISS passes. Most of the ISS passes over the Denver area are transitioning from morning to evening in the next 10 days, so that's nice. You don't have to get up so early, you can stay up a little later. One thing I like about this particular website is I can click on a particular date of interest for a particular date of interest for a particular pass, and I get a nice large star chart which I'm displaying over on YouTube right now. You can take a look at that and you can see the path of the ISS through the skies and relate it to the various paths that it's going through. And that's it. That's all I have for you.

This item is dated August 28th. NASA Marsquake Data Reveals a Lumpy Nature of Red Planet's Interior. This is from Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Rocket material that impacted Mars lies scattered in giant lumps throughout the planet's mantle, offering clues about Mars' interior and its ancient past. What appear to be fragments from the aftermath of massive impacts on Mars that occurred 45 billion years ago have been detected deep below the planet's surface. The discovery was made thanks to NASA's now retired InSight lander, which recorded the findings before the mission's end in 2022. The ancient impacts released enough energy to melt continent-sized slough of the early crust and mantle into vast magma oceans, simultaneously injecting the impact of fragments and Martian debris deep into the planet's interior. There is no way to tell exactly what struck Mars. The early solar system was filled with a range of different rocky objects that could have done so, including some solars that they were effectively protoplanets. The remains of these impacts still exist in the form of lumps that are as large as 2.5 miles, or about 4 kilometers across, and scattered throughout the Martian mantle. They offer a record preserved only on worlds like Mars, whose lack of tectonic plates has kept its interior from being churned up the way Earth is through a process known as convection. The finding was reported Thursday, August 28th, in a study published by the journal Science. We've never seen the inside of a planet in such fine detail and clarity before, said the paper's lead author, Castantino Charalambos of Imperial College London. What we're seeing is a mantle studded with ancient fragments. Their survival to this day tells us Mars' mantle has evolved sluggishly over billions of years. On Earth, features like these may well have been largely erased. InSight, which was managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, placed the first seismometer on Mars' surface in 2018. The first seismometer in 2018. The extremely sensitive instrument recorded 1,319 Marsquakes before the lander's end of mission in 2022. Quakes produce seismic waves that change as they pass through different kinds of material, providing scientists a way to study the interior of a planetary body. To date, the InSight team has measured the size, depth, and composition of Mars' crust, mantle and core. This latest discovery regarding the mantle's composition suggests how much is still waiting to be discovered within InSight's data. We knew Mars was a time capsule bearing records of its early formation, but we didn't anticipate just how clearly we'd be able to see with InSight, said Tom Pike of Imperial College London, co-author of the paper."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T18:51:40+00:00","id":30787,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30786,"text":" Quake hunting. Mars lacks the tectonic plates that produce the temblors many people in seismically active areas are familiar with. But there are two other types of quakes on earth that also occur on Mars. Those caused by rocks cracking under heat and pressure and those caused by meteoroid impacts. The two types of meteoroid impacts on Mars produce high frequency seismic waves that travel from the crust deep into the planet's mantle according to a paper published earlier this year in Geophysical Research Letters. Located beneath the planet's crust, the Martian mantle can be as much as 960 miles or about 1550 kilometers thick. It is made of solid rock that can reach temperatures as high as 2732 degrees Fahrenheit or about 1500 degrees Celsius. Scrambled signals. The new science paper identifies eight Mars quakes whose seismic waves contain strong high frequency energy that reach deep into the mantle where their seismic waves were distinctly altered. When we first saw this in our quake data, we thought the slowdowns were a powerful distraction cross-plate set. But then we noticed that the farther seismic waves traveled through the mantle, the more these high frequency signals were being delayed. In Planetwide Computer Simulations, the team saw that the slowing down and scrambling happened only when the signals passed through small localized regions within the mantle. They also determined that these regions appeared to be lumps of material with a different composition than the surrounding mantle. With one riddle solved, the team focused on another, how these lumps got there."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T18:53:23+00:00","id":30788,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30787,"text":" Turning back the clock, it concluded that the lumps likely arrived as giant asteroids or other rocky material that struck Mars during the early solar system generating those oceans of magma as they drove deep into the mantle bringing with them fragments of crust and mantle. The caralambos likens the patterns to shattered glass, a few large shards with many smaller fragments. The pattern is consistent with the large release of energy that scattered many fragments of material throughout the mantle. It also fits well with current thinking that in the early solar system asteroids and other planetary bodies regularly bombarded the young planets. On Earth, the crust and uppermost mantle is continuously recycled by plate tectonics pushing a plate's edge into the hot interior where through convection, hotter less dense material rises and cooler, denser material sinks. Mars by contrast lacks tectonic plates and its interior circulates far more sluggishly. The fact that such fine structures are still visible today, caralambos said, tells us Mars hasn't undergone the vigorous churning that would have smoothed out these lumps. That way, Mars could point to what may be lurking beneath the surface of other rocky planets that lack plate tectonics including Venus and Mercury."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T18:56:05+00:00","id":30789,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30788,"text":" And I have my assistant cat here who is bugging me for treats tonight.

Here's the rocket report for this week. This rocket report covers the period from August 26th through September 9th. Last week's launches, six total launches. Let's see, in the past week all of them, SpaceX, actually, we'll count, let's see, I got one, two, three, four, five, six, actually I got five SpaceX and one Israeli launch. So there we go, actually. There we go. Stop. Go SpaceX. Go Starship. Let's take a deeper look at last week's most successful SpaceX Starship launch, Starship test flight 10. SpaceX's August 27, 25 statement. Starship's 10th flight test lifted off on August 26, 2025 at 6.30 p.m. Central time from Starbase, Texas, taking a significant step forward in developing the world's first fully reusable launch vehicle. Every major objective was met, providing critical data to inform designs of the next generation Starship and Super Heavy. The flight's a gang of Super Heavy engineers lifting off by igniting all 33 Raptor engines and ascending over the Gulf of America. Successful ascent was followed by a hot staging maneuver with Starship's upper stage igniting its six Raptor engines to separate from Super Heavy and continue the flight to space. Following stage sub-section, the Super Heavy booster did its boost-back burn to put it on a course to a pre-planned splashdown zone. The booster descended and successfully initiated its landing burn, intentionally disabling one of its three center engines during the final phases of the burn and using a backup engine from the middle ring."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T19:01:49+00:00","id":30792,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30791,"text":" Super Heavy entered into a final hover above the water before shutting down its engines and splashing down into the water. Starship completed a full duration ascent burn and achieved its planned velocity, successfully putting it on a suborbital trajectory. The first in-space objective was completed with eight Starlink simulators deployed in the first successful payload demonstration from Starship. The vehicle then completed the second ever in-space relight of a Raptor engine, demonstrating a key capability for future deorbit burns. Moving into the critical reentry phase, Starship was able to gather data on the performance of its heat shield and structure as it was intentionally stressed to push the envelope on vehicle capabilities. Using its four flaps for control, the spacecraft arrived at its splashdown point in the Indian Ocean, successfully executed a landing flip and completed the flight test with a landing burn and soft splashdown. Over the course of a flight test campaign success will continue to be measured by what we are able to learn and the flight test provided valuable data by stressing the limits of vehicle capabilities and providing maximum excitement along the way. While flight 10 was a huge success, there were a few minor anomalies worth mentioning. One Raptor engine was lost midway on ascent in the second and second booster ring and did not relight for the boost back burn. Its loss did not however impair the mission. When you have 33 engines on the booster you have a good margin of redundancy built in. Two, the ship did experience an explosion in the skirt of the engine bay on ascent, no word on the cause. This did damage the skirt and the lower part of an aft flap. This damage exasperated reentry heating on the damage to the lower control flap. However, the flap continued to function all the way to landing in the Indian Ocean, no word yet on the cause of the energetic event."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-02T19:02:48+00:00","id":30793,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30792,"text":" And three, the heat tiles could be seen stained orange and white on Starship's landing.

So we'll see how it goes, because I had to wait for an extra part to come in to put it together with the right things so it will work. So that's going to go on the HF radio. So we'll see what happens, and hopefully no one notices. But otherwise, I am doing great. According to KJ7RJL, I haven't been on enough lately, so now that I've managed to figure out how to shove my radio equipment onto the desk as well, yikes, I can now get on more often and reach it a little bit more than where I had it. Otherwise, doing great. My apartment is still a roasting box, and so I'm running the fan in order to help keep me cool and my equipment cool at the same time. What other kind of mischief can I get into? Easy, coffee. Problem, I didn't put sugar in it, just milk. Yikes, that's scary. But otherwise, having a good time. Hope you're all doing great out there.

I attended the gallery meeting tonight, which was alright. I hate meetings in general.

And let's see, I played the harp inside the gallery for a while, and then I played out in the street for a while and made a few bucks this time, which was kind of nice. There's a couple of people across the street trying to raise funds for the Nature Conservancy, and they compete with me unhappily. And I want to just go over there and tell them, look, I'm not here for very long. This is my only way of making income from my music. Could you go somewhere else when you see me come over here? But I haven't done it yet. I don't know that I will. I don't like being a jerk. And let's see, the book is trolling along and being strange. And other than that, I think I've dared my cousin Rob to write the first chapter of the second book. The first book's got the working title of The Mindbender's Gambit. The second book, I've given the tentative title of The Mindbender's School of Hard Knocks. And so we'll see if he can come up with a first chapter for it. I'd love to find somebody to collaborate with on these books, because I've got way too many of them in inventory and trying to revise them as just being a nightmare.

I hope everybody's had a good Tuesday and yeah we are already into Wednesday morning here, halfway through the week already and yeah these weeks seem to be flying in and yeah yesterday was a work day, not particularly exciting to be honest. Just trying to do some reports and things at work, it's been quite busy. Of course my system had a glitch so that's slowing me up a little bit. Apart from that I took my son, he went to Tae Kwon Do and yeah he's getting back into the routine after the summer holidays of course. Did a little bit of radio yesterday on FTA in the background but the conditions I didn't find particularly great yesterday. I was receiving plenty of stations but yeah I didn't seem to be meeting the contact unfortunately. And the other thing in the UK, we've had Northern Lights the last couple of days. So we've had that Aurora and yeah that's been pretty cool. I never managed to see it last night as it was too cloudy but did see it on, well that would be my Monday night so seen it then so that's been quite cool. And I know that that has actually it's tiny band. Funny things to happen in the band with the propagation so yeah apparently 2 metres was quite active. My husband just seen that last night but as usual it's very quiet here in Scotland going with the 2 metre band. So a lot of stations have now gone digital and you get very little stations now and actually analog unfortunately. And yeah the weather is certainly definitely cooling down. You can definitely feel it this morning. It's 11 degrees Celsius, very cloudy and I think a high today is going to be about 16 degrees Celsius so I've had a drop of about 10 degrees on what it was last month so yep I think the winter really is a short one coming up.

Where it was about 90 degrees out here again. Pretty hot day for us. I have my air conditioning going on, off and on most of the day. I had to turn it on later in the evening because it got hot in here. Meanwhile, the squirrel front, I put some more nuts and peanuts out for them. They've been drinking a lot of water that I put out for them for obvious reasons. I put a black bowl down on the patio with water in it. For some reason, the squirrels were paranoid about it. I noticed that they were really skittery when they went looking down at it. I'm not sure exactly why, but they didn't like it. So I ended up taking it out of there and they were happier. It doesn't look like anything, just a dark bowl. Anyway, I just cleaned up the kitchen today. I ordered some groceries and came in with some bananas and other sort of things. I took out the garbage and now I got some paper and a shred. I put it in a plastic bag to take over to the recycling here in the units where I live. On that, I don't think anything else had happened today. I was doing different nets. I got a list of nets I want to jump on and try them out during the day. I went on a couple of DMR nets that I hadn't been on before. That worked out pretty good. With that, I'll turn it back to the net. Thanks again for doing it.

And they wanted me to put on a new toilet seat. They wanted a padded toilet seat. The toilet seat that was on there was not padded, so I beautifully took off the old toilet seat, went to put on the new one, and I saw one thing interesting was that the new toilet seat was a typical oval design, whereas the toilet was elongated. So I explained to the person interested in having this retrofit done that the new toilet seat was not the right type, and I would have to put the old toilet seat back on. Doesn't this sound like a fun project for a Tuesday morning? Anyway, that hanging drapes and a few other things. So that took up my morning. And then this afternoon, I took a friend to a medical examination where they had to have a ride home because they were going to have been under anesthesia. So that took up most of my day.

That's wonderful. Hope it continues for you. And yeah, that's great to hear. And you mentioned green beans, and trying to remember this term, there's a way of sort of freezing green beans, where I vacuum seal them in a single layer, and then freeze them very quickly, so that I guess they blister up. And then you cook them, you can cook them very quickly, and the texture of them is kind of improved. It's in this cookbook that is in the other room, but I'm sure you've got plenty of plants to do that. And just freezing them is just great, you know. And yeah, that's awesome that you've got a lot of tomatoes. I think I mentioned something last week, or on somebody's net, about tomato water, and making a pasta using tomato water, and finding that to be pretty exquisite.

Well, hey Paul. I'm doing pretty good. Just here at the house, and flying over from Boise tomorrow. Today I went over to the doctor. Blood pressure is still pretty high. And I'm going to be keeping on the medication I'm on for now, which does... It's a little shaky with my blood pressure being on this medication, which is why we're so closely monitoring it. But yeah, possibly such a different medication in December. Just got to check out the blood work that I had drawn today, so when we get the results back from that, we'll know if I'm sticking on this medication or not for a little longer. So that's what I was up to today. Took two trains across the city, all the way to the other side of Boston, and stopped by a Dollar Tree on the way back. Found these headphones for five bucks. Over-the-ear headphones that don't look too bad. Audio quality is not great, but for the purpose they serve, they serve it well. So it's nice to have some over-the-ear headphones again. I do have another pair with better quality, but the pads had worn out on them, so I pulled them off. And they're very uncomfortable to wear with just the hard plastic against your ears. But now I've got a nice comfy pair of headphones, and I've picked up a map of the US that I'm going to pin up on the wall, and start putting pins in for all places that I've visited. So that's how my day went, and that's all I've got for now. So I will throw it back to you. I might be in town for my grandfather's burial on the 9th, but I will be immediately running back over to work on the 11th. So it's going to be a busy couple of days traveling back and forth cross country. So for now I'm sitting around at home, chilling in Boston.

And yeah, that's cool that you found some cheap headphones. It's amazing what you can find for cheap and how they work. Sorry, the sound quality is what suffers there. Yeah, there's some over the year headphones that are pretty well perfected, or not perfected, but they've gotten really good for the price. And what else? Yeah, I hope the situation with your meds works to your liking there. That can be, the sort of contraindications can be a pain in the butt. So I made a mistake here and actually since I wrote on the wrong line I missed somebody here. And I also missed responding properly to Justin because I was going to mention his whole ADS-B setup which I wrote on the second line here. It's very cool to hear Justin talk about that whole SDR setup. ADS-B is really cool. I like monitoring it myself, not with my own setup, but it is a fairly straightforward thing to do with a USB stick SDR. You can even do it on a Raspberry Pi and it's one of those things that Raspberry Pi is actually a good choice for it because you don't need storage and don't need all the other things that you have to add to a Raspberry Pi that make it ill-suited for those things. But it works really well for that sort of thing. So glad to hear you're enjoying that. Alright, so let's go next to Jeff, NT1B. Sorry for passing you over there Jeff. Please come ahead with your report. No worries Paul. I wasn't sure there was the Pi left and I was like maybe I remembered it being out of order. But anyhow, this is NT1B Jeff here. I actually got a new call sent recently. I was formerly known as AJ7FN. So if folks remember my name there. But anyways, this weekend was, today kind of recovering from the weekend. I ended up going over to Elahi State Park and doing a PODA, so activating a PODA park which was super fun. And I did it all by bike. So yeah, I took the ferry, Seattle home to ferry to the park and it was a really nice day. It was really fun and I had a great time but I was pretty pooped. There was a lot of hills. Fairly short bike ride there and back. So just kind of recovering today. So yeah, that was my Labor Day weekend. NT1B back to Ned.

Yep, yep, you met me at the meeting over there at the Tacoma Radio Club. Pretty interesting, I met a lot of people. Also got a hold of Dave and KevinHD.

Like I told Dave, because of my job or all the moving that I have to do all over the press course, they're gonna be able to work with me. It's a pretty good weekend. At least I'm gonna be off this week. I was working for like two months straight without any days off. I got a week of retargeting and then going back to the saddle over there, flying all over the West Coast and support the guys over there with their methods. Yeah, so it was pretty interesting. The other thing that I'm doing is I'm just doing shopping around and checking. I'm just looking for a good hotspot. I was thinking about a virus X for my guesses, but I want to check also the alternative with the high stars. Anybody, any of the colleagues can help me with that position, I would appreciate it. Well, I wish you guys 73. Have a good night and back to unit control because AM7, AQN, 24. All right, Javier. First, it was good meeting you on Saturday and chatting with you. Just to let you know, your audio is a bit on the low side, combined with a little bit of noise on the signal. I had to listen real carefully. Hopefully I got things. Sounds like you're looking to upgrade to general in November, planning for that. That's great. Giving yourself an ample window of time. Sounds like you've got a lot of other things going on, maybe looking for work. I heard you mention something about wires X. Unfortunately, I don't know that there's a heck of a lot of wires X happening around here. I'm not sure if that's actually something that's really, I don't think that's actually caught on here in the US. I know some of the ASU radios have that. There is some fusion digital that the ASU has, and that's something that you do see some activity on here. But yeah, I don't think there's a lot going on with wires X. It is built into a lot of ASU radios, but doesn't get a lot of use here. So I could be wrong if someone's got some information about some activity, particularly in the area. Please let me know.

I got two teeth that are still tight on both my lower left jaw and my lower right jaw, way in the back. He said, you've got to get some insurance is what he said. I had to kind of get a price out of it. He wouldn't give me a price. I didn't think it was looking at like $2400 worth of work. That kind of ruined my day yesterday. I've got to see if I can apply for insurance, dental insurance here. I guess he's looking at me and figuring I'm getting old. He better dig in and get those nuggets. We'll see what happens. Other than that, I can't complain. Today I'm not going to do any bicycling. How about you? Did you get any bicycling in? This is repeater station kilo kilo seven. This weekend I went to call the world blue. I had walked some of them and thought, hey, this is a second good trail. So I brought my bag back and headed to the south and made it about a mile and a half. And they shut the trail down because they were spraying bug spray, mosquitoes, that kind of thing. So I turned around and went to the north. And I got about, I don't know, about three miles up, four miles up. My shifter on my spokes, he always threw it out. First, the second gear was five, the third to seventh was just jumping around all over the place. It wouldn't stay in one gear. So I pedaled all the way back to the car in second and loaded up and took it over to the bike store. And I went to take a look at it. I had a Jester on the side of the gear shift back in. It was bent just a little bit. It was enough to screw with being able to shift gears. I got that fixed. So I got, I don't know, maybe six or seven miles on Saturday. I enjoyed it.

It will probably bend it out of line and you'll have to have it all realigned again. That's one thing I never tried to do. I was watching these YouTube videos and they're showing how to do it, and then I watched another one, another guy showing how to do it differently, and I figured just what the experts do it. Yeah, you know, as long as it stays in one gear, you can always get home because it's going to lead you in one gear eventually, so whatever gear is you have to.

I have to make sure the condo, the next meeting, that they're going to allow me to keep it here because I have two parking spaces even though I don't drive. I want to keep it there and I want to fix the inside up so I can have my refrigerator. You know what? They've got power boxes now. A power box, you can get one like a 2,500 watt power box. This way here, when you go camping, you don't need to have electricity. I mean, you can keep the refrigerator running or food cold and you don't have to really rely on, you know, campground hookups."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-03T03:09:32+00:00","id":30961,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30960,"text":" Yeah, that's what it costs.

I was just joking around."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-03T03:38:19+00:00","id":30996,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30995,"text":" Oh, I get it. 308, a 308 rifle, right?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-03T03:38:46+00:00","id":30997,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30996,"text":" Plus the officer had to deal with them to you, so therefore you wouldn't be using a 308 on.

It gave me something to do exactly this. Instead of just saying CQDX all the time, I'd get tired of that and start reloading. You're constantly doing something. You've got to watch what you're doing all the time. Doing that, that kept me busy. That's probably why I did it. Plus, you couldn't really buy that stuff. It was too expensive. Darrell's right. It's difficult here. As a matter of fact, I had a pistol permit to carry in Connecticut. I had that probably from the age of 21, 20 years old. First, I had to get to the town in Wallingford to give me the pistol permit to carry. Then I got to State. You have to have at least a year before you could apply for the State one. Then I got arrested in Montreal for making a comment on YouTube. I made a stupid comment. The police arrested me. Then they called Connecticut up and they busted the front door of my house, which nobody was living in. It confiscated my entire gun collection. I lost probably over $10,000 worth of guns for making a stupid comment."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-03T03:41:35+00:00","id":30999,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":30998,"text":" Yeah, it was reduced down to, since I was a permanent resident while it happened, I had a special clause that protected me against any harsh convictions. That saved my ass right there. And they, they, they, they rilled it down instead of me paying a fine or anything, they wanted me to spend the $75 in return to any contribution, any, anybody I did. So I, I donated $75 to the Blind Dog Society and I forget the name of it. I had to write out a check and have it all ready. And that, and that was, it was like a plea bargain, you know, you know, we dropped it down to nothing. Matter of fact, if I spent another $100, I, I probably could get it all removed and I could probably get my gun license back. But the guns in Connecticut, they were auctioned off, you know, I had a nice gun collection and, you know, there was no way I could get those guns back. So I had to kiss them goodbye. And, you know, I was so upset. I, I hadn't even gotten the money from it. I, I, I just had to turn my back on that and forget about it."}]}
