Well, even though I was born in Canada, my mom was born in England, my grandparents were born in England, except for two of them. Two of them were actually born in Vancouver. That was my grandpa PC and my grandma of all three. And yeah. Okay, that's enough of the geography lesson. I'll be practicing. We've got a, oh yeah, good news. We've got a jam coming up on Saturday.

Two o'clock on Saturday afternoon. So, but he, I don't know if he's found a place yet. Maybe, maybe he has. I don't know. Maybe I should get a hold of him. Maybe I can try and find something to. I've got a couple ideas as well. So, anywho. 73 and all. And keep on keeping on. Stay cool if it's warm. Don't think it's cold anywhere. Maybe way up north, but that's usually covering around the zero mark. I don't know. Check your local weather stations. So. Take care y'all. Back to you Larry. 88 RER VA6GRZ. Okay. Very good, Bill. Yeah. I changed your E to an A. Yeah. I don't know why. I thought something didn't sound right, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Good thing you got me straightened out on that. And congratulations on your jam session there, boy. That's cool. So, hey. We'll have a, we'll be waiting on you to sign autographs here pretty soon. You get big time.

I walked in water in the driveway and I got my shoes wet before I realized, hey, I'm one inch deep in water. I had to walk across one of the grass berms in order to get out to the street.

Anyway, 78, was that what you said? 76. 72 this morning. Anyway, we're doing okay and add some chlorine to the pool because all that nutrients coming out of the sky, cleaning the air and everything, they get in the pool there. They really feed the algae. So anyway, I got it there. It's clearing up. Well, it's not really clear. I can still see the bottom, but it's not as clear as it was yesterday. You could see nine and a half feet of water.

I'd stir this stuff up to spray it and pull the stick out and if it took more than three seconds for the liquid to leave the stick, it was too thick. And then I would get Iron Man or something like that on the radio and put it just outside the booth so that I could get myself a rhythm. I had never painted two stage paint before and you're not supposed to paint it under 65 degrees, but it was colder than a well digger's mustache in the high wind.

I mess with a mag loop every now and then too, but it's just so finicky, man. I popped the finals on my SBX a few weeks ago and still haven't gotten it broke open to fix that. So it's just kind of set the Alex loop aside for just more fun and games, I guess. Maybe something I pay more attention to as I'm trying to use. I think the wind knocked it out. I'm not quite sure what happened, but bad all the way around just by accident. Anyhow, it's fun to know that you're active out there and staying active.

I mean, it's just absolutely crazy. It seems like it's sprung up overnight, you know, every other, whether it's ATC or, you know, some other, um, you know, the plane itself or the pilot or it just seems there's always an excuse, but, uh, it's, uh, it could definitely be a dangerous thing, you know, if you don't know what you're doing. And that's excellent, man. Very, very fascinating. I've, uh, flown numerous times over the years myself, not ever behind the controls of the vision problems, so I don't even drive a car. That's why I was thinking self-driving would be literally right up my alley, and I do trust the underlying technologies, even more so than a human driver in most cases. I mean, these light air systems can see about a mile away at 360 degrees around the vehicle simultaneously. There's no blind spots with these self-driving cars. As a matter of fact, one of the members on the net this morning told an interesting story where he was driving a long distance yesterday and, uh, fell asleep behind the wheel, and, uh, his wife was asleep in the passenger seat, and he fell asleep for, uh, upwards of what could have been two minutes. And, uh, the car maintained the lane and, uh, steered and kept the, uh, appropriate distance from the vehicle in front of it the whole time. He said he woke up and all the cars were different. That was around him. He said he just, like, kind of snapped awake, and all of a sudden all the vehicles were different. So he's not sure exactly how long he was out, but, uh, that adaptive cruise control, uh, which is available on a lot of vehicles now these days, uh, you know, gas and electric vehicles, uh, where it maintains the distance between you and the, uh, vehicle in front of you, and it will slow down and stop for traffic lights and, um, you know, keep you in the lane, all that stuff.

But I'm not doing anything adventurous like flying in a small aircraft either. Man, in a single engine, that's even scarier. You've only got one shot with that one if you can't restart it. What kind of altitude would you fly, you know, going to a small plane like that across the Atlantic, would you at least give yourself some time, you know, some altitude where you could restart the engine, you know, shoot? Did it ever fail? Did you ever have any issues? I guess you were probably buying, you know, new planes or, I don't know man, you've got me interested. The old one you, Casey. All-Star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. Your Golf Rios Delta Papa returning? No, it was very much a second-hand, second-pre-owned aircraft. I did fly it for quite a few hours around out there in the States before I attempted the journey. I had the correct maintenance done to it and the most difficult thing, if you want the truth, the most difficult thing is staying awake. And remembering which fuel valve to turn on and which fuel cell in which particular order, which is, even though it's written down, you still convince yourself it's different. But unfortunately, it's very tedious. Yeah, the engine never missed a beat. A pretty good engine. And there are people that do this sort of thing for a living as well. I mean, I was flying around 8,000 feet, 6,000 to 8,000 feet, low enough not to want oxygen, high enough to give me a bit of wiggle room. And I had no issues whatever. I didn't even have a parachute. From the point of view, if you're going to come down in the Atlantic, you're going to freeze to death. I'll die of hypothermia before anybody gets here, so what's the point? So yeah, that was the harem scare of days. But as it was taught to me when I was in the military, have confidence in your equipment, have confidence in your own ability. And just get the job done, which is what I did. Now later on, I went to fly helicopters, but those things don't have the range to fly them across the Atlantic, so you can't do enough fuel in the thing. But it was heady days. It was good days. I was lucky enough to have a very good job where I could afford to buy these things, take the time out to fly these things.

In the US, light aircraft are pretty much an everyday way of life where here it's an expensive hobby. So it's priced accordingly. I mean in the States you can get a pretty good aircraft for the price of a pretty good used car. And so it saved me about 50% on the purchase price. Also, I was very comfortable with the fact that I had much more choice in America, much more choice. So not only was it a very long solo flight, it was with a single engine as well, which shows my younger days perhaps were a little more fearless.

I've got some folks working on my trees doing a little tree trimming and checking to make sure everything's good. We had, I don't know, a few months ago now we had our neighbor's tree actually launched a whole bunch of, there was a branch from the very top, probably 60 feet, 70 feet up, broke off and broke every branch on the way down. Totally cleared. I mean, it sounded, I wasn't home. My wife said it sounded like a whole tree was coming down. And if I can't have been underneath one of our kids with an any thought, it would have been good. So we're, that tree got a little bit of work done. We're having more of what we're kind of done today on our side to make sure that it's all nice and clean and we're cleaning up our trees as well. So anyway, we're having that done right now. I'm sitting here doing some work and also been debating about, I've been kind of delaying, I guess, I don't know. At some point I want to get into, get my general license and get more into HF radio and the IC 7300 Mark II just came out. So I was like, oh, this might be a good opportunity to get the Mark I because a bunch of them are showing up used for pretty reasonable prices, it seems like. So I've been kind of debating, do I pull the trigger now even though I don't have my general license yet? I don't know. We'll see. Yeah, other than that, I also know, like I am excited. I've been working on, I have two nets at the same time on Mondays, my local ACS, shoreline ACS. And then after that is the PSRG weekly net. And I try, I've been trying really hard the past few months to do both of them. So I've been jumping on the shoreline and as soon as that's done, jumping onto the PSRG and I've actually gotten on to the PSRG almost, I think I hit 12 times now, which I think is the point at which I go on the regular list. So that's kind of an exciting transition point. But yeah, so yeah, I think this week, I don't know if I'll be able to get on in time for my name to be called, but I think my name will actually be on the list. So that will be a fun little new thing. Other than that, not much going on. Just at the start of school, oh I guess that's a pretty big thing. My daughter started first grade yesterday and she's gone through her first day, second day today and so far she's loving it. So yeah, lots of changes, lots of stuff going on. Excited to be back in a routine again though. So it's been a busy and hectic summer and I'm excited for some routine again.

Sorry, I can't really give you a comparison because I'm not remembering the old one clear enough being that long ago, Jack. But, it's a wonderful place to go shopping, interesting stuff, different than any place else. And, they've got good lunches there apparently, but I wasn't willing to wait in line. I waited in line about 5 minutes and it moved about 5 feet, and it looked like it would be another half hour before I get through the line, so I kind of gave up on that. But the food looked good, smelled good, everything's clean, wonderful place. If anyone hasn't ever gone to an Ikea, they should check it out. Okay, I still haven't seen the yard. Oh yeah, it's like Disneyland without the rides. I mean, maybe they should put some rides in overhead, make it a little easier to go on their crazy courses. Well, again, I don't know, I've not been to the new place, the new one I guess, whatever. Alright, now I'm kind of confusing myself, but no, it's an amazing, amazing place, I tell you. But then if you forget where you saw something, you try to go backtrack, oh boy, yeah. Anyway, but all the store associates, they know their stuff and they can get you back to wherever you were because they all know how to get around that store.

Greetings Jack, everyone on net. Michael here where it's 20 degrees. Charlie in white horse, that's about 76 degrees foxtrot. Really nice day. Nice, nice day. A lot of blue sky, not a lot of clouds, hard shadows. I have been navigating one difficult thing after another. Nothing really personal I think, really mostly business, but it's a lot. I was invited to an invitational tender today. I went for a site visit. I had an appointment. 9.30 to 10. I showed up 10 minutes, well 20 minutes early to the site, 5 minutes early to the meeting. And the person before me kind of showed up at the same time and they took them. And anyways really just pushed my appointment to nothing. Wasn't very respectful. Not too sure how to react to that one. Just letting that one fit. I'm not emotionally upset anymore. Just figuring out how to respond. Always interesting. And then a few more hard things happened today. Again, just navigating our situations. I guess that's growth. How? It hurts. Growth's hurt how? But growth's good. Investment itself perhaps. Just trying to rationalize the pain. Another day close to Quandai Grove Relay. That's in mind. Actually I was just looking at my matrix and adding to my frustration. I can't find my matrix. I was going to do the final update to the volunteer job point matrix and send it out. But it looks like I'm going to have to, well, recreate it. At least from an older draft. It looks like I found an older draft. But I'm doing too much. And I either saved that file somewhere inappropriately or it's been deleted. I'm just a sign I'm doing too much. Got to deal with that.

CQ CQ CQ, it's on the ROV Radio Network, Echo Lake Multimode Net. This is your Net Control Station K4HM. My name is Hank and my QTH is Sandy Shores Campground near Meares, Michigan, right on the coast of Lake Michigan. This is a directed net. Please address all comments and queries. This is Net Control Station. This is sponsored by the ROV Radio Network. But all amateur radios with a technician class license or higher are encouraged to participate. The purpose of this net is to provide a forum for amateur radio operators who wish to share and interest in recreational vehicles to exchange information as they stay in touch and travel across the country. This net meets each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference node linked to the N4LMC Multimode Network. And that includes the NIVI4 EDPA link repeater and the lookout mount in Georgia and several other repeaters in the tri-state area. And we'd like to thank Emmett Perdue and the Tri-State Carrier Club for sponsoring our net for the use of their equipment. For additional information about the ROV Radio Network, please visit our secure website at rvradialnetwork.com. And for additional information about the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club, please visit their website at tri-statesarc.com. As I mentioned, there are some repeaters on the network. So repeaters have time-out timers. Let's try not to time them out. If you're using the Windows Echo Lake application, you have a task set of timers up under the tools set up menu. And you can set your transit timer there to, I recommend 170 seconds. That's 10 seconds before it times the repeater out. And also it will pop up an alarm tone and a pop-up timer if you have the window set big enough in the lower left-hand corner that will start a 10-second countdown. Of course, that will start in 160 seconds. Okay, let me reset before I time it out."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-04T18:06:14+00:00","id":32481,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32480,"text":" This is not a traffic guess, but we do take emergency or priority traffic.

We have a 20 meter net that's on two days a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11 a.m. Central time. And that's on 14.268 megahertz. 14.268 megahertz or 14.268 kilohertz. And that's like I say on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 11.15 a.m. Central time. We have this net Baltimore-Dickle Lake Net Aud each Thursday at 8 p.m. And we have a video net that's on on Tuesday evenings at 8 p.m. You have to go to the website and click on the link there to get to that. So that's a link right there near the top of the page where the nets are listed. Our nets are listed. There's another page that has a full listing of other nets as well as our own. This is on the main page. Let's see, other than that we do have a rally coming up. The 2025 RV and eyeball rally will be on October 12 through 17 at Browning Lake RV Resort in San Antonio, Texas. So that's October 12 through 17. That's coming up. It's just over a month away. We've got a pretty good list going so far from what I understand. That's at Browning Lake RV Resort in San Antonio, Texas. There is more information on our website. Just go to the main page and look for the announcement and there's a link there. Click more information. That's the end of the announcements that I have. I do see we've... I saw somebody we picked up. Yeah, we've got 84... No, 82H and we've got EAA online. So, then, I thought I heard somebody time out. I don't know. Anyway, topic for tonight is what do you plan on doing this summer for ham radio or RV trips? What do you plan on doing? What kind of events are you going to participate in?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-04T18:11:50+00:00","id":32483,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32482,"text":" Alright, good to hear your voice there Hank.

We're wrapping up. This is my last weekend here, or last week, I guess. We've got three nights left. Come Saturday night, we'll be done. We have a festival here for the last closing weekend every year. Actually, the campground stays open for the festival. I guess is the right way to put it. And that's this weekend. So everybody will be pulling out of the campground come Sunday night, if not up to study during the day, I guess. And the campground will be closed at that point. Well, it won't be closed yet. They're still open for a couple weeks, but there's not much of anybody here once that festival is over. The seasonals still will be here, but that's about all. But anyway, we go down to Florida every year, as you know. And the club down there at Traveler's Rest is a great club. And I meant to mention to Gary, I meant to George, that I was a member, oh, I am a member, I'm a life member of the Raleigh Amateur Radio Club. And I was active in their board of directors for over 20 years. And they had a nice ham fest. I'm glad to hear you're going to it. And the next guy up, I'm sure, is going to be going to it also. Steve, NY4NC in Raleigh. You're up. We're talking about what you're going to do this year for the events for ham radio and RVA. So over to you, NY4NC from K4HM. Okay, 4HM in the net, NY4N. Charlie just got home, just finished with the traffic net and got over here just in time to get on. So good evening, everybody. Okay, now, let's see. First off, it's 69.8 at 90% humidity. It's clouded over now, so it looks like we're going to be getting some rain. And right now the winds are calm. Barometric pressure 29.95. Let's see. What else do I want to say before I get to the topic at hand? As far as you talking the remainder of this year, basically I don't have a lot specifically ham radio related for the rest of this year. But we are planning on going to the Friendly Bunch gathering in Sparta in October. Of course, this month we have our 50th anniversary. So not really, I was hoping we would do maybe a little travel, but my wife kind of thought just having something close to home would be nice. So we're going to have some stuff going on here. And then basically an in-person just a reception. And then we'll take the family down to the Angus Barn, which you being, having been in Raleigh, you know what I'm talking about, although some of the others might not know what the Angus Barn is. It's a destination restaurant for those not in the know. Let me break for a second. Okay. And now, upcoming though, I am looking to participate in hamcation down in Orlando. And so I think you and Celine go to that. If I, are you planning on going this year, Hank? If so, my understanding is it's best to show up on Wednesday the 11th. And then do you check out on Sunday or do you stick around until Monday? Just was trying to figure out to know how long to set for. And then how do we coordinate getting together? That's the other question I have. So hopefully I've been waiting for some information to come out because I've been wanting to make the reservation. But I wanted to make sure I knew that I was making it the right way first before I actually pulled the trigger on buying the, because that's a lot of money to spend. So, you know, about $350 for the RV site for those days if we stay through Sunday. Yeah, $70 a night. Which, comparatively speaking, I was looking at some of the other places there in Florida and it's pretty cheap in comparison, but still, it's not cheap. So, and what do you do before? Because, I mean, if you're coming from Travelers Rest, that's not so far. But what about for us? We're coming from North Carolina, so it's kind of hard. Either we get there on Thursday if we have to be there in the morning and find a place to stay overnight or if we drive down on, if we drive, well, okay, we have to leave Tuesday, I should say, not Thursday. But if we have to leave on Wednesday, then we won't get down there in time for the opening of the campground, so that makes it tricky. Anyways, I'm going to send it back to you so you can maybe enlighten me a little bit. Back to you, Hank, NY4MC."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-04T18:28:34+00:00","id":32491,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32490,"text":" Okay, well first of all the topic tonight I guess I didn't word it the way I intended to. I shouldn't have said this year, I should have said this season, camping season is basically just now getting started for us. So, it's a, well I don't know how you can look at it, but anyway whatever you got coming up, within the next year I guess is the way to put it, that's what the intent was. As far as the Heinrichsbahn, I have been there one time, it is a very nice, very exclusive I guess you would say restaurant, terrific reputation. The food I got there was great, but it's rather pricey and you know hamburgers, hamburgers as far as I'm concerned, so I've only been there one time. But it is a well-known restaurant, very top shelf restaurant, so as far as the rally, as far as the ham tasting is concerned. I don't know for sure what's going to happen this year, there's been some changes. Let me reset. This is repeater station kilo, kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. Also one of the restaurants we have Robert, DJ2DY and the Wayne C1 have showed up. So we do have at least one more on the list now. Ham tasting doesn't start actually, I'm sure you know until Friday, but everybody gets there pretty much on Wednesday. So if you don't get there on Wednesday, you're going to be looking at leftover campsites. So and actually it's been pretty good the last few years, but they used to have a long line and they had delays getting in and you were sitting in a line for hours what you could get in. That's been much better the last few years. I don't know whether that's going to be a problem in the future or not. They had problems getting, they got to get the fairgrounds to agree that everything's ready before they can open the gates. That was the excuse that was given at least a couple of different times that I know of. Fairgrounds insisted on some changes being made at the last minute or something like that. But it's about a half drive I think, something like that to get there from Trevor's Rest. So we normally would go up there and get there to wait in line on Wednesday and get our campsite. There's nothing inside the buildings that you can get to unless you're a vendor until the hand fest starts. If you're a vendor then you can get in there and get your stuff set up, your tables and whatnot. I've been in that boat a couple of times. But there's other activities that they have. We have clubs have meetings. Oh, you mentioned where do you park. How do we find each other? The last few years we had a space designated for three clubs to park. We parked with the FMCA Amateur Radio Club and the Airstream Club. Now the Airstream Club is actually not exactly with us but they were alongside us. They're adjacent to our area to where we were. So it was easy to walk from one to the other and back sharing events and campfires and happy hours and that kind of stuff. Not campfires, they don't let you have campfires. But happy hours and meetings, that kind of thing. They do have some excursions they go on. There's a parts store down there that is well known. It's got everything. It's like a surplus store but they've got everything you can imagine. Some things you would be surprised if you never saw anything like it before. It's an interesting place to go once or twice in your lifetime. I'm not looking for anything anymore so I haven't been for the last few years. Anyway, that's pretty much the way it goes. Let me reset again."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-04T18:31:23+00:00","id":32492,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32491,"text":" I have to say that there's people going out together for meals and people are sharing meals there. So we have a big dinner every year. All three clubs come together for a big dinner right in the same area where we've been parking. Last year they didn't reserve the spaces for us. They said they weren't going to do that anymore. So, but we all got there and got our spaces together because we got there early to make sure we did that. And you know people that have been there before know that we always park there and they don't try to get in there normally. But they advertise the fact that they weren't going to have it's Earth Day. So they, we kind of expected to have some tutors. But we didn't have much trouble with that. In fact we didn't have any trouble with it on our side at all. I was going to say something else. Oh, we, well I did mention the big dinner that we had. The WCCI has their one meeting of the year. They're going to give out door prizes. We had some door prizes as well. The FMCA group I think had some door prizes too. The other thing that I was going to mention is they have raised their prices significantly this year. Celine's not all that interested in it because she's not, she likes paying for the social aspects of it but she's not interested in building radios and working on radios and putting kids together and all that kind of stuff. So she's not really interested per se in the Hand Fest itself. She just, she does like the social aspects of it. So we are looking at probably just driving up for attendance on whatever day we're going to have our club meeting on. Which I hope will be the same day as the other clubs have their meetings on. So not sure what we're going to do yet. But that's the direction we're leaning. And maybe we can get this next guy to come over.

Your audio fills the room. You've got terrific audio tonight. It sounds very good. Very rich tone to it. Anyway, I'm glad to have you with us. And yeah, you've got as many hand fests there as I go to. I used to go to a lot of hand fests from 2001 through 2008. Yeah, 2001 through 2008. I carried the Raleigh hand fest. And while I was doing that, I went to every hand fest that we did drive and do three-hour drive. And I went to Dayton every year, which was a much longer drive. Went up to, what's it, New Jersey, I think it was, one year. One of our club members was involved, well, actually, his brother was involved with a big hand fest up there. So I put some miles on, that was before we started RVing. But since we started RVing, we, if we're near a hand fest, I sometimes only go to it. But it's like I said, Sweden's not particularly interested, so we don't do a lot of that anymore. The ones that I've gone to in the past, where we have, we'll have friends in North Carolina, that there's a couple of hand fests that we'd still like to go to if we're in town. It seems like anymore now we're never in town. So that's just the way it is. Really good to have you with us tonight. And that's the bottom of the list. I don't see anybody else on here. So is there anybody else out there that wants to check in before we head up to the lightning round? Please call K4HM. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec November. All star node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. All right, somebody commented, it looks like there's going to be a short next night. I guess it is. I will say I'm not particularly discouraged about that. I have come down with COVID for the first time. Never had it before. And it's a very mild case right now, but it's uncomfortable. So at least I'm not coughing now. I was coughing something terribly yesterday, and my wife has been really big about coughing. We cast it around all the workers here, all the staff here. That last week or so, or a couple weeks, I guess, have cast it around. And I was the last one on the totem pole, so I got it yesterday and didn't cast it. I was coming down with something. Anyway, right now it's not bad, but I know it's there. I got a little runny nose, chills, muscle aches and pains, and just all that kind of stuff. So I don't have anything else to add to the conversation. I don't get to go to the Dayton AmfST Mortar Physics before we get up here. There is another big event that we do go to, though, I want to mention. It used to be for diesel pushers only. Now they have opened it up to all motorized RVs. So we now are expanding that event, and I've been on the staff for it for a number of years now. But it's a big event about learning about your equipment in your motor home and how to maintain it, how to check it out, how to determine what's wrong when something doesn't work right. If there's service people there that will do swell, I say some will do work at cost. Some will charge wholesale for the parts. Some charge retail price for the parts. I think they all, those kind of service people, I don't think they have to get included by service charge per se. There's also some product guys there that do charge for it's where they work, but they're very reasonable priced or they're getting a lot of business in one place. So they lower their prices. There's over 100 seminars going on, easily over 100, probably several hundred seminars that go on, they go on about six wide, sometimes wider than that. And you have to pick and choose which ones you're going to go to. A lot of them repeat, so you could get there two at the same time. You want to go to both of them, you go to one at one time and the other one another time. So it's a big event, and we go to that every year. So all right, let's head back over to George, ADTIH from K4HM."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-04T18:40:34+00:00","id":32495,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32494,"text":" It looks like I'm the next one.

So yeah, that may affect the whole point of us coming to meet with other people in the RV radio net. I think we need to figure out first off how many people from the RV radio network are planning on going. So it would be nice if there was something on the website to say, hey are you planning on going or so, so we can get a count. So anyways, that would be a good thing.

Anyway, we're a small group of hams down here in Australia. There's about 14,000 total down here. So we don't have any way of having anything like your big ham fest up there. There's just not enough people. There's a couple of interesting ones up in Brisbane, one in Perth and one in Tasmania, none of which I'm going to be able to travel to at this point. But we do have one coming up at the state organization, amateur in New South Wales. We have a little sale and sausage sizzle and other stuff there. We have some talks. That's coming up on the last Sunday of this month. It's every other month. And then we have an actual ham fest coming up here out in Pickton, which is about an hour drive from here, coming up in November.

It is a very difficult language for someone who speaks English. But as is Malaysian, they're related languages. But anyway, so probably if they even have any activities up there, it's probably not worth going. So I'm sort of pretty isolated in this corner of the world here from the ham radio activities.

Those are two of the three largest ones in the world, so they're exceptionally large. The average handfest is probably no more than a thousand people in attendance. The Raleigh Hand Fest is bigger than that. It's nowhere near the scale of either Dayton or Hand Vension, or Hand Cation. I think they're running around 1,500 to 2,000 attendance, something like that. But it's a big enough to be a nice handfest. You get a lot of vendors in there that does handfests. Not as many as you're used to. A lot of them want to do everything online now, so they've stopped going to a lot of handfests. But it used to be that even the big dealers would go to even a small handfest, and they don't do small handfests at all anymore. That's just one of the big handfests in the country.

This repeater is operated by the Puget Sound Repeater Group and it operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and PL tone of 103.5. All licensed hands and new licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. We encourage you to press that button and tell us about yourself, your radio projects or just about anything else as long as it's suitable for a general audience. I'll be compiling lists of stations that would like to check in and then I'll ask for your reports. If you'd like to check in only, just let me know that you'll be in and out also called an I O. Please limit your reports to three minutes so that I can get as many stations in as possible. Three minutes is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign so that I know that you're done. Again, this is Rebecca KK7IJZ. Let's get this net started. Please come ahead now.

Please come ahead with your report. Well, good evening Rebecca and Kubernet. This is KA9EHV. Well, let's see. I wrote another couple of chapters. So this book of mine is spawning sequels. It's growing completely out of control. There are now six titles. I don't know what the books are about quite. I know what the first three are about. I don't know what the second three are. The Mindbender's School of Hard Knocks, The Mindbender's School of Lost Fools, and The Mindbender's School of Saved Lives. I don't know what those are about. They're cute titles though. But the main character of the first three books has inherited someone who's in love. It's so cute. It was so fun to write, and so mushy without being too \u2013 I like love stories that are mushy in terms of words and sort of gentle actions, but not sort of erotic. And this is that first kind of mush. And so it's very cute. Anyway, much saving of lives and souls will commence. And I played the harp a little bit, and that was good. And I work at the gallery tomorrow. And that's about it. 733-3388 to everybody. Thanks Rebecca for doing the net. Thanks to everyone else for listening. I love you all. KA9EHV.

And also it's good to hear that KC2STL is back. Yay! Well, I guess my mischief for today was staying out of trouble, except that I went snooping in a store, which TI7RME was asking me about earlier today, and I told him where I was. But after my contact with him, still snooping around in the store, I inadvertently mistook one item that was kind of tucked in a dark spot on the shelf, and assumed it was a snack or something that I might be of interest in, only to find out after dipping four of my fingers onto it that it was actually something that I had dipped my fingers into it, and it was hot. So the staff scurried and managed to find me something cool to put my fingers on, which I still praise the heck out of them because they are nice people, and they didn't realize there was a pep on the shelf. So I said it's not a big deal. It was just, you know, somebody probably just left it there by mistake, and they were understanding, so that was good. But ultimately my snooping does seem to get me into some sort of trouble. In this case, someone's hot, wonderful, booycious, apparent copy that they accidentally forgot, my fingers went in, it said hello. I didn't feel or nothing, so I'm fine. Other than that, I have this wonderful project here. I'm about ready to drop some of it right out the window tomorrow, so we'll see what happens on that score. Other than that, that's my report.

And the squirrels are doing their usual bit, and Princess was here, and Rocky was here, you know, and the Nuts and Peanuts are not here anymore. They ate them all. But I've been, I got on this counter next to me, on the other side of me, I've been tracking the earthquakes. And on the counter I have a weather station that, you know, potentially, you know, it gets all the weather off the internet. And then the other one is another weather station takes the sensor off my patio and puts in, you know, the information for it there. And then today I put up another tablet that has the weather radar, where the system's coming in, because pretty soon it's gonna be winter, and then I'm gonna be seeing a lot of green stuff coming over Washington and down here in Nuts. So I put that up so I could watch that. And right now in the Midwest, we got a big bunch of green weather over the, over Chicago and that area. So Amy and I think Amy could call and change the weather for them, I don't know. But anyway, yeah, just watching some rugby today on TV, the All Blacks, my favorite team. And then, you know, today I was listening to Nets pretty much most of the day, and you know, it was okay. Yeah, usually I cut it off around after the new Net here and then get on later on in the evening. But I mean, I listen to them all day and see what I think. And it's, you know, it's hard to find Nets that are interesting the whole time. So I've got mixed results on that.

We did, we went for a walk. We went to the library and he met up with some kids there. And yeah, they had a good time at the library. We checked out a couple of comic books. And then we went to the bike store and I got him a new helmet. And so now he has a bicycle helmet that fits him. It doesn't just kind of balance on top of his head and make me nervous and crazy. So he agreed to letting me buy him a new helmet. And yeah, so it was just kind of this like cool, breezy, like energizing night. It was like such a nice, today did feel like Friday.

Good evening. It's always nice to hear you. I just, I can relate to Charles and his problems. You know, being old and sick is rough. I've been sick with something for a year and a half and nobody can figure out what it is. I've gone through so many tests over the last year and a half and later this month they got about another bunch and some more next month. And the fact that I'm getting around and breathing, I guess is good, but you'll worry, you know, something unexpected could pop up. I have peripheral neuropathy for probably over the last four or five years. So that's been giving me separate problems between that and the other. And the pills you take, which have a lot of side effects, you know, getting around, you know, can be rough. And the idea is just, you know, we try to keep busy, but we always worry about something popping up that might cause a major problem. So we try to do hand stuff, which is one of the big things I do. And we have our coffee sessions and we had, you know, the Wednesday ones have been really good. The weather's been nice, so we've been able to work outside and set up antennas on the lawn and stuff at the coffee shop. And they've been really good. So I'm going to run out of time. So I'm going to say goodbye. K-E-6-R-A-X. Everybody have a good day. This is repeater station Kilo-Q-11 November- Oof, peripheral neuropathy. That's so hard. It's so painful and annoying. Yeah, you know, thank you for saying those kind words to Charlie. And yeah, it's tough. It is tough. Life sure does go on, doesn't it? Whether we like it or not. But thank you so much for checking in. I am grateful that you have all of your ham radio things that you do and that keep you active and that you lucked out with your apartment. And yeah, and that you're here with us tonight. Enjoy the rest of the net. And I look forward to hearing you another time, Peter. Seven three and all the numbers. Have a good night. All right.

I feel like I forgot to tell you, so one of the things that I used to love to do that I don't know why I do this, but it is oddly delicious, is like toast and butter with sliced tomatoes and sugar.

Nice thick slices of tomato. Yum. I love it so much. Yeah. It's one of my favorites.

I'm a little bit of a mess up as I've been wanting to do. And I'm actually, everything's all fixed up finally at school. There was a lot of issues going on and it's been big issues to the point where it happens every year. In high school at some point I wasn't even in the school board. It said I graduated and didn't finish high school. But I was in high school and just started high school. Well I was in the 10th grade and it said I wasn't even in high school. And I dropped out but I was at high school. Which was pretty weird. But that was fixed two years ago. And of course every single year when I go back there's an issue. But it's finally fixed. And I'm glad it is. And I got an interesting letter today. And man it was, I'm glad I released it here too. I got called down to the school's office. And my mind scrambled up there and I knew I wouldn't usually get called down to the office. I'm not really sure why I got called down there. But I got called down there because I got two letters from two colleges. One interesting thing that's related to radio. It was an AM FM Tower Technician. And another university reached out. It was a Certified Wireless Engineering for Radio Towers FM and AM. I'm not exactly sure what the name was but it was something like that. And I turned it down. I wasn't really interested in those. It's not really what I want to go into after high school. And they accepted that and said okay. But yeah. So back to Friday. I'm getting excited. Some of the parts came in for the DXPR radio and the CM-300 that I'm getting. And I'm getting excited to get those radios. They're Motorola radios and I really like Motorola radios.

Hello to everyone. First of all I'm sorry to hear that Carly is not doing well. I hope she feels better soon. I think there was another, I think Mike also said he was in the hospital there. So I hope we'll recover and get home soon. Not doing too much. Just had a taste of dinner. It's still good tomato season. So we had a nice, a couple of nice BLT's because as someone has, I think it was Kenji Lopez-Alt wrote a BLT is a tomato sandwich. So when you have good tomatoes, it's a good time to do that or just hey a tomato sandwich. It was pretty good on some good bread. So I might have to do that because I have too many tomatoes that I purchased. And yeah, aside from that just messing around with I've got, I think I mentioned I got a new Blu-ray 4K player. And watching these videos about how to tweak all the settings to get those optimized which is kind of fun. Not like what's going on right now with my work computer that I'm having to unfortunately update into a future I don't want to be in. But I've got to do it. So yeah, I'm not looking forward to some of the big changes coming to my to the Mac operating system that I've already sort of living in. But now have to sort of commit to before everyone else does. And yeah, I'm sure it'll be when it comes to the general public who uses Macs. I'm sure we'll be hearing some of it from from others. But I am not pleased to the point where I kind of wish I could do something else for a living. But you know, it's all about K7.

And I need my advance to build repeaters and I've been self-studying for the advance for the last few months and been really onto it recently. I think for the last week I've been studying and studying and studying. Trying to get out as fast as I can without really stressing myself from it. But I've been taking breaks and that's always a good thing to do. But I saw this interesting thing where they used two Motorola radios and sandwiched them together and used an RJ45 cable, Ethernet cable and rewired it into a sound card. And I'm like, well why is he doing that? He's using Austerlink as a repeater controller and Austerlink has a repeater mode which I was very interested about. And yeah, I've also been looking at duplexers as well. And there's that local guy in my club who actually built his duplexers and got them tuned. He also knows how to tune them and he has a lot of spare duplexers. He has a lot of duplexers. He has a whole shed of them. And also a storage unit of functional duplexers he built 20 plus years ago. And yeah, that's really interesting. So let's see if I can reach out to him and go take a look and maybe learn a little bit more about them. I'm interested in how they work, how you can monitor two frequencies by just using whatever is inside. And I also, a few other days ago, well I think yesterday I did a report on these Cametronix boxes, hardware or package controllers. I'm not exactly sure what they are. And I still have been wondering what they are. And online doesn't really have much of an answer. But if anyone knows, let me know.

If you look up my callsign you'll find the website, that, and the transcriber. But, talking about duplexers and stuff, I actually avoided the duplexer situation by using two separate antennas and going crossband. And then using home-built band-bass filters so I don't have to worry about a duplexer. And it works pretty good. And yeah, it is all controlled by All-Star and a hacked CM-108 sound card. And yeah, it's a fun setup to do. I highly encourage that setup. Which that also just allows me to see what the transcriber runs on as well. I mean, it's assisted by a server, but yeah. And that brings me into my report for today actually. The transcriber on the system here, Steve, when he did the Zero Retries article on it, came up with the idea of being able to be notified when you are mentioned or when certain phrases or words are mentioned. So I set out a mission starting, actually Saturday I started that, to make that a thing. And that was an undertaking, I tell you what. It's been an adventure. I've worked on it all week now.

So I think it was just a temporary reaction to that flu shot. I normally don't have any kind of reaction like that. Otherwise, I've been working on a problem with my truck with this thing called the throttle body.

I know that. I've lost several of them. Anyway, let me see, I watched the football game tonight that was really exciting. The Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles won 24-20. What even made it more exciting was when they were down to two minutes in the third quarter, everyone had to leave the stadium and get under cover because there was a severe thunderstorm warning and the lightning was really right there. So they were off not playing the game for about an hour. And they came back and they only had two minutes left in the third quarter and then all of the fourth quarter. And the Eagles did it. They won. I was so happy for them. I just haven't come from Pennsylvania naturally and always with the Philadelphia Eagles. And let me see what else is going on. The animals are doing well. Talking about decluttering, I had this large white box that was beside me full of things that needed to be shredded and thrown away and oh my goodness. And after three weeks, I finally have now emptied that box this evening. Things are finally gone. However, tomorrow I have to start on all the papers in my desk drawer. And it's a deep file type drawer. And it's loaded with stuff. So I've got to fill this big white box up again and I'll bring it in the living room for me and I will sit and continue sweating, cutting up all of that good stuff. But I feel really good about getting that done. I'm seeing the end of the tunnel. And once I get the desk file stuff straightened out, I will have made a huge dent and a huge change in all my decluttering. So anyway, back to you Rebecca. Have a good night.

And I've got to bring all my stuff for the flea market up too. I'll price that while I'm here. I've got one bin already to go at home, I've still got some more stuff to put in it. So, yeah.

I've been on the bike five days in a row, but today I can't take it out because I missed my water. I've ordered some of those scan disc cards. I ordered three of them. And I got an email that I wasn't here, so they're going to try to send it again today. So since I don't drive a car or anything, I have to be here. Or if I miss the order, they'll put it somewhere in place where I'll have to get a taxi to go pick it up. So I'm sort of in today. It's a beautiful day here. I see puddles all over the place, so it must have rained last night. I slept like a rock. I'm not going to hold it. That's going to be starting in a minute.

And it's on the side of my back. It's more closer to my hip. I'm getting old, I guess. Anyhow, I pulled a muscle, and I had no one to his appointment anyhow. And so, you know, it's my doctor's, you know, follow-up appointment that I had yesterday. I told him about my hip. He goes, yeah, you pulled a muscle. He goes, that's going to take you a few weeks to get over. So I knew right then and then that this is just going to suck. And then, last night, I was watching the Cowboys game. I wasn't feeling real good through it. They actually did better than I thought they would. I really thought they were going to get their butts handed to them by the Eagles. And if you don't keep up with football, the Eagles, the Philadelphia Eagles were the world champions last year in the NFL. So the Cowboys and Eagles had their first game of the year. The Cowboys lost 24-20. I expected it to be much worse. I really did. The Cowboys, they have good offensive team members. And they put something together last night. But their defense, oh man, it was awful. So, anyhow, I've been feeling pretty bad the day of the game last night, I guess. I took a shower, and I got cold chills instantly. I thought it was great. Here we go. And then I woke up, I don't know, 3, 4 o'clock this morning. And it's just sickness. So that's where we're at today. Maybe it's just me being sick. Not testing the Cowboy loss. I don't know. Anyhow, we're going to move to KC2 TKG. And thank you for wishing I wasn't so sick. But it happens. It is what it is. I'm not a big baby, too. I'm sick. I should let you all know. I typically don't get out of bed much. And I beg my wife to do everything. So I'm going to send this over to Greg. My granddaughter just walked into the bedroom.

We have a couple of locals that get together, but nobody is going silent. And that's a pity. It's real pity when the frequency goes silent. Because what you don't use, you probably lose. So anyway, today is Friday and I got a couple things that I have to do. My poor plants, my backyard is bare. I can't stand looking out this window and see my plants like that.

I got Tammy coming today, so I got a pickup. And that spent a lot of yesterday just kind of cleaning up. After, you know, we always leave somebody here at the house. It's always somebody here. And when it's my son's, then their ability to clean up and put things away degrades over time. And so I'm still putting the stuff away. But I think I finished cleaning up everything, and that's good. Everything had like a little light coating of grease on it because they don't like to turn on the exhaust fan. You don't know why that is, but they don't. So that all has to be scrubbed off and clean and stuff like that. And Tammy will do a beautiful job. It'll be like a brand new place when she's finished. Tammy is my replacement for the robot vacuums. It never quite worked out. And we get to put some money in her pocket and keep her and her family alive. And that's a good thing. So that's my mission for today. Get that done, she'll be here around noon. And there's a dishwasher I gave my son. And it's still in the back of his car. I might go up there this afternoon and try and put that in for him. We'll see. We'll see if that works out. You know, it's gotta be convenient for him too.

It was very very bummer, very bummer that's good. So rough night last night and I was supposed to, they didn't have a well they the student that they had for me I think they told you this was the student that left went back east to take care of her house after her son got put away and they told me that they sent her up to West Valley to do some backing practice and well long story short I finally got a hold of her yesterday through texting I had text her a couple times before she didn't get back to me and then she knew who was texting her and so we finally got that straightened out that was me texting her and and she says well you know I didn't make it up to West Valley they sprung it on me last minute and another opportunity came up so I'm doing that instead. So I'm heading up to Corinne and I don't have a student so I'm gonna have to get a hold of Lorraine. She said she told Lorraine but Lorraine didn't tell me so I'm not sure what they're gonna do as far as a student for me. Waiting on that but that'll give me an opportunity to do some driving I was only what 7,250 miles away from making my 4 million miles so good opportunity for me to hit that 4 million mile mark within the next two weeks without having a student because I'll be doing all the driving so so there's that.

I'm not for the next few days or weeks or whatever I'll tell you what. So I'll tell you what happened to my muscle real quick. Yesterday morning me and my wife were out there on the back patio. We're sitting there watching the chickens and the new little chicken coos that we got them into. And we have an old table that sits out in the back patio that really needs to be probably thrown away. But anyhow something fell off of it so I kind of twisted it a bit over to pick it up and at the same time I had a cough. And that cough was no big deal and at that moment I felt the muscle oh my gosh. And it's right on the side of my hip right there with the hip bone my ball and socket go together at. So it's on my side it's technically not my back which is a good thing. The doctor did tell me you know since it's my side and I have to walk every day that that would help it heal faster. So I don't think it's going to be weeks but it's still you know still lets me know that it's not normal. So that's my hip thing so yeah I expect that to get over with. And then of course the sickness thing that caught last night or whatever is probably because I went to the doctor's office. That's what I'm blaming it on anyhow. Reason 4,572 not to go see the doctor. You get sick and you go see the doctor. Okay so let's go to George. George the mic is yours. Good morning my friend.

Yeah, I took him with Lucky. He gave me her Rich Kratz stuff, so. I had leftover tea from West Africa. You put your vitamin C packet in there. No, I didn't take the vitamin C packet. I need water for that, please. Nurse Kratz is on the prowl today. Is that the right word, Nurse Kratz? I know that ain't from somewhere and I can't remember where. I hope I'm using that correctly. My wife, she does not have time for sick people. She is very logical, maybe, dealing with sick people. You tell her you're sick, she loads you up with medicine and tells you not to come out of your room and tell you feel better. She's very, very, very adamant about it. So I'll be working and I guess doing everything in my room and telling her to feel better. Secretly, I like that because, you know, my room is my comfort place. Okay, well, that brings us to the bottom of the list. I'm glad you all got to see how many of my life I interact with when I'm sick. I don't know what they are. I don't ask. I just take them. Let's call for some real check-ins. It is now 6.55. We have been on this net for 25 minutes and we have eight check-ins with six people still on the list. So let's make this a little bit larger on this Friday morning. We will be talking about ham radio. That is, I was on a discharge track. However, I need a new radio and I've been thinking about it for weeks, probably longer than weeks, and I still can't decide what I want, mainly because I don't know what I'm doing. My experience with ham radio, for you who don't know, is less than a year and it's 98% on this net. There's not much of a two-meter world around me. There is a little bit. There is a reduction where they have a really cool repeater system that has 40 some odd repeaters linked up. It's called the North Central Texas Connection. I listen to it and then I've gotten under a couple of times, but that's like me putting my head in the water. Those guys are so far advanced than me, I don't understand what they talk about a lot on the subs with ham radio, mainly because there's not any Elmer's, there's not even clubs, not even like that close to me. Other than you fine folks, I don't have somebody I can say, hey, let me see this radio and how you use it. I don't get that. There's no ham radio stores probably within 150 miles. So, y'all are going to hopefully help me decide what's ready to go. So, before we go into ham radio and handhelds and digital modes, I'm going to stop and call in for a few more check-ins. And then we'll go back up to the top of the list.

Then this little silly thing happened to me. I went out and I did some street photography. Last week I had uploaded everything and I couldn't find it. I'm like, I know it's on the computer. So I read up or import and I say, no, your picture's already there, you don't need them. And I put it on the Flickr and I couldn't find them there either. I use everything by date. I was very single at the top. And then at the bottom. That was just on Google Photos. I got some 10, 15 thousand dollars, 10 or 15 thousand pictures between my wife and I. I couldn't find it. I wanted to make a story of it. I wanted to post it. I kept trying to figure it out and finally it came to me. I was using this new, old camera. Designed, built and sold about 10, 12 years ago. And when I pull the battery out to charge it, it does have electrical charge still in the battery. But if you keep it out too long, it goes completely blank and then resets the date on your camera. So I was looking for a picture in 2025, but the picture on the camera was dated 2014. So that was what my problem was. But then I felt so stupid at the end. It was driving me crazy this whole morning. I was just looking, looking, looking, trying to find it. I want this picture. I got a story for it. And I could not find it. The story was done. The picture was not. I had let it out. It's up there. It's posted now. That's cool. You know, keep me around for a while and this is the wrong thing to work on.

But oh, yeah, radios. They're like candy. You can't get just one. My first one was an FT-60, just because it was a 2-meter 440. Wanted to get in on some kind of ham radio after I got my license and didn't have a lot of money to spend on it. But it's a nice solid radio. It was the one that was recommended by the people at the radio shop there, HRO, there in San Diego. But like Ray was saying, if you're trying to get into digital modes, it really depends on what digital mode you want to get into. Because if you want Fusion, you've got to go with the Yezu. You want D-Star, you've got to go with Icom. And if you want DMR, then it's probably Motorola or there's a few others. And one of the group's favorite for D-Star, or not D-Star, but DMR, was the CRUD. I know Darryl's going to have that answer for me because it's his one of his go-to radios. The 360. Ah, CRUD.

So I this year I bought about an upper grade FRM which has a USB charge in the back of it. That's the only reason but I find myself going back to my original H... H... HP... Wow it's a tongue twister. And that's my favorite. But what I'm looking for is a ham radio that I can send a text message to my husband's phone. And that's what I'm searching for. That I have the ham radio but since he's a ham radio that can actually send a text message without having to go through too many programs to do it.

I'm pretty good at computers and I can't figure out why I randomly just does that. Honestly what I found out the easiest way to do it is to recreate the file and just save it again. However if you had a big file and some of my files are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of lines long on excel. Yeah isn't it really that long you don't have a choice but to go find the file and that could be looking like a neighbor to Haystack. I gifted that my friend. Okay that brings us to the bottom of the list and we've called the check-ins two or three times this first half hour. So we're going to move on. We're going to move on and move back up to the top of the list and to kind of give you some context about my question of the day. I want to buy some hamburgers. I decided to study for my general and let me. That was weird I had a pain but it's not out of hand. Anyhow yeah so I decided to study for my general. I don't want to be that big of a deal. I just need to time to time to actually study for it. However my limited exposure to real ham radio is this net. A little bit of two meter action. Yeah that's about it. So I am really looking at digital modes thinking that because of where I live at there may be more of an opportunity on the digital side. So I'm looking at some different videos all kinds anywhere from the AC to mail things. I do have a budget not very high. However I'm going to maximize what I get out of that and I don't mind waiting a little longer if I need to put some more money together. So with that I'm going to ask what is your go to handheld radio and why is it your handheld radio. Why is it your go to? What functions? What does it do? What makes it stand out I guess.

You know, you can't have a radio collection without a, what was that, that real cheap radio that comes out of China. Oh man, I am terrible with names this morning. But there's a company out there that makes these cheap radios that are like 30 bucks, 20, 30 bucks. And they're all coming for that name too because I'm drawing a blank on it. But I did get my Quan Cheng and, you know, did an upgrade on that with everybody else. And I did get a couple of other upgrades. But I mean, that's, I got the Quan Cheng in the truck and I got my Yaesu FT70D. Now when I bought the FT70D, I got it from this one radio store in the south and they offered the Mars modification on it at no extra cost. This was just tell me, or maybe it was five bucks, but you just tell them, hey, I want the Mars cap. And they did that for me. So I was able to get that done on the phone and I'll have to come up with that name now. But yeah, good stuff. Like I said, the Quan Cheng and the Yaesu gets me in on the radio frequencies that happen at Walmart. So those are the ones that keep in my truck. And right now my hotspot's at home so I'm not doing a whole lot on digital as of right now. But yeah, depending on what digital you want, you know, depends on the radio. Now a lot of the new hotspots will do all the stuff in the hotspot so you can use any radio with it even if the radio isn't set up for digital.

And if you go to DoDropIn on the Discord, we had a big discussion about it. And for a while, and a lot of people got them. And it's just a really versatile radio. It's got great sound. And while you're fooling around, for 30 bucks, you can have a brand new radio. And you'll like it, I guarantee it. Now if you want to use digital modes, you have to make a decision up front. I mean, if it's Icom, then you're talking about D-Star. And that's proprietary to them. It's really hard. I think Kenwood does D-Star as well, but you're probably going to end up with an Icom.

So now the quenching can be modified to transmit on anything it receives, any bands. The YESU, nope, not so much. And you'll probably have to pull a chip out. I don't know how you feel about that. But there is a zero resistor in a hole on the YESU radio that I'm trying to think of, but I can't quite think of it. You pull it out, and it changes it to a European style, which I like. There's much more to do. It's also called the Mars mod. So if you're looking for a handheld, that's great. Let me drop it for a second. I got another idea."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T06:03:09+00:00","id":32685,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32684,"text":" KN4LDF, this is KJ5IRQ.

You sound like you were selling the Fusion radio, but I'm also looking at DMR for talk groups. I'm not sure where to go. Apparently, from what I can tell, there's not really. I mean, it usually does the Fusion, of course. Unless you're getting used to it, you're not getting Fusion, it seems like. Again, I don't know much about this. I'm just now really decided to start looking more into Henry outside of what I'm already doing. I'm going to look at some Leishu, Leishan. Wait, I'll find Leishan. I'm going to look at some videos. Of course, the bail checks. I have a little UV fiber and then I have another UV fiber made by a different person or a different company. That's what I use for local when I do that. I have a home-built quarter-rate ground plane that I built right after I got my license, put it 30 feet up in the air. I got pretty good on it, especially with those little radios. Yeah, I just want more. I don't know. Fusion, I know I want ATRS built into it, which I think most of them come with that. I have been looking at the Anytone AT Delta 878 UV2 Plus. It does analog DMR tier 2. It has built-in GPS and full APRS. It has a big color screen. It has a 3100 milliamp-hour battery. It says from my research that it's really the DMR gold standard for under $400. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. That's my problem with hand radios.

It also, you can receive air band on it, the VHF air band on AM, which is cool. It will switch to AM when you need to. You can also switch the mode yourself, AM, FM, SSB.

It's like the Kwanchang UVK5 in brackets 8 and close bracket. That's the one you're going to want. Once you flash the custom firmware, man, that radio is fun. It adds so much to it. It completely changes the way your display looks. It gives you all kinds of ham radio related features. It's just an all around good radio. That's the one I'd recommend.

I've already got DV switch put in, I've got all scan put in, I've got all the little cool things that go on a node. It's already there. It's good to go. I don't have my DV switch set up for all the digital modes as a hotspot, but that wouldn't take much to do from what I'm understanding. I still need to buy something to connect to it to make it RF. I'm still leaning towards that device that Gabby said. I mean, I'm not seeing anything better right now for the price. Clear node's not bad. I mean, I've looked at clear node, I've read a lot of reviews about clear node. Clear node is the apple of ham radio in my mind. It's pre-made, good to go, here you go. I don't want that. I'm too extra for that. That's why the reason why I built my node rather than buy one pre-made. I like to tinker and I like to mess with stuff. I like to learn things. Man, that makes the frustration level 10 times as high whenever I do that, but I have a feeling that that's the route I'm going to go and that somebody can just justify the added expense. It's not that I don't have the money. I'm pretty frugal with money. I just am. If I don't see a valid, solid point to buy something, I'm not buying it. The corn chain, I can see a valid reason to buy it. I don't like to use the R5 thing I got from Bail. I don't like it. It's like a G-Adjo toy. I just don't care for it. I've never been happy with it, so it's easier to justify trying the new HD because of that. However, clear node being $300 or $400-ish to start off with, which I already have. From what I've read on the clear node, for $385, you get the raspberry 5. I have the raspberry 4 plus. I can always go up and buy a new 5. The software and stuff that they put on it is pretty much the same software I already have on mine. I just don't have it set up. That's going to be interesting. I think I'll be reading over that over the next few weeks and seeing what I can do with that. I do have to get some RF signals built into mine. That's where I'm stuck at at the moment. I don't know which direction. I have tried the cheapo all-in-one cable plugged into a Bail thing. Like Dale said, don't do that. It's awful. Your Bail fan will transmit really good for about 15-20 minutes and it gets too hot and it dies. I've tried putting it in a bag of ice. I've tried putting a fan on it. I mean, those little handhelds have no heat sink, so they're not made for that. I see a lot of attachments to those that are built off of small radios, like the I think it's a AAA-888. I'm not sure how that's getting bad without cooling. So anyhow, I have a lot to sort through. You all are helping and hurting, but mainly helping. So thank you all so much.

You use duplexer and one antenna. Your input and output from your repeater go into the high and low pass on your duplexer. And then the output on your duplexer goes to one antenna. So the same antenna does transmit and receive. Much, much better than trying to use two separate antennas and get the alignment and stuff right on those. But yeah, that setup that George mentioned, it's just a high power simplex node. It's like your own private node, but it has more kick behind it. And I really wish they'd stop calling it a repeater because it's not a repeater and that confuses people all the time. In regard to which radio I would choose, if I could only have one. And I'm not talking radios I don't have. Because if I had a preference, my radio of choice would probably be the Icom ID51 Plus or the ID52, whatever the newest handheld from Icom is because I love those radios. Just the look of them, the way they function, the fact that they're all menu driven, they've got that DR mode in them, just great for D-Star. They also are very good for analog, but primarily a D-Star radio. Now I've had experience with D-Star for several years. You're talking digital modes, Josh. I've had experience with D-Star for several years, and I've also had experience with DMR for several years. And essentially spending a bunch of money to take on a new mode, I think is just frivolous. Unless you really want to get into that mode, you've got to consider your time allotment for amateur radio. Is all your amateur radio time already being eaten up by someone, something or someone or some group? Do you have a group of friends on the air already? And are those friends, the people you want to talk to, going to be on that mode, DMR or D-Star or Fusion? Chances are not. You might get one or two that you can send a text message to and meet up on the air, but the chances of running into people you know are far slimmer on any digital mode than they are on analog All-Star. So I got out of most of the digital modes, pretty much all of them. I've still got a D-Star set up here. I've still got a DMR set up. As a matter of fact, I'm using a DMR radio right now. It's on analog, but the MD-380 is my favorite D-Star radio or my favorite DMR radio because it has custom firmware. This is something you can't do with every DMR radio.

My favorite handheld I guess is my newest one, my FT5D. I just purchased that back in the spring I guess. I haven't really used it too much yet on digital mode. I live in a small town and there isn't anybody that's got a repeater close to me so when I want to use it on digital mode I have to go to the city and then I can access a UHF repeater in the city and get on digital mode. I like going to KCWIDE, lots of good nets and there's lots of traffic on there which is a lot of fun. But I've got three FT250s, I love those old radios. They're like 30 years old now, some of them, and they still work flawlessly. I've never had any trouble. I finally replaced a battery in one of them this year so that's amazing to me. And I've got an iCom that sits in my shack I guess you'd call it. I refer to it as my computer room slash radio room. But yeah I've got one that sits in the corner, a little iCom V8 is it, that monitors a repeater that's not too far away from me. So anyways, nice day here in Craven. It's a little bit on the cool side, we're at 10 degrees Celsius which is 60 something Fahrenheit but at least there's no wind today. We had a heck of a wind yesterday that was blowing everything away. So it's nice that it's fairly calm today. Anyways, thanks for having me on and hoping everyone has a great Friday and I'll turn it back to you Josh at control. 7-3's."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T06:45:03+00:00","id":32716,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32715,"text":" There's two ways they make the Bofang 888 work. One, they don't leave it in the case. They take the board out of the radio. It's one tiny little board, right? So then you just go on AliExpress or something and buy a bag of small random heat sinks with thermal tape already on the opposite sides of them. Put a couple of those on the chips that are inside that radio. Never, ever, ever put it on high power and bypass the battery. Run power directly into it from a USB cable or something like that. And then if you want, the whole box, the Raspberry Pi, the radio, all of it. Fan cool the inside of that box, whatever you put it in. And the Triple-A will work fine. As long as you don't put it on high power. You put it on high power, you leave it listening to this net for 20 minutes, it's probably going to burn up because those radios are not meant to be in transmit mode. And what you've got to think about, everything you're receiving on an RF node, that means that that RF node is in transmit mode that whole time. So take a handheld, put it in your hand and key it down for 10 or 15 minutes on high power and see what happens to it. That's not good. So yeah, you just cool the VRMs that are in there with heat sinks. You can put a fan on them if you want, if you're really worried about it. But on low power, they're fine. You know, just for a low power hotspot. But you're only getting half a watt or something like that. And that's really all you want with a low power hotspot. You never ever try to amplify one of those bowfangs or one of those low power hotspots like a clear node. Just don't. Just don't try to amplify them. I've seen people do it over the years and everybody's been very dissatisfied. Those things have no filtering in them. They splatter about five megahertz in each direction. So if you're on one frequency, you better believe everybody above you and below you in your area is going to be interfered with. Not good. So if you wanted to go that route, just strip a triple eight or UV5. UV5 can be used as well. And that's dual band. So if you wanted to switch from VHF to UHF with your hotspot frequency, you have that option. But what gets me about the bowfangs when people use them, they use them still on high power. They put them in that little cradle for charging them and they think that's going to be sufficient, but it's not. Those radios will use way more than what you can put into them. And then the bloody things will start announcing over the network. Low power. Low power. And oh man, when I hear that, I just, I'm ready to tear my hair out. I haven't heard it in a few years, but people were using back several years."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T06:48:06+00:00","id":32717,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32716,"text":" No I haven't I haven't even left the, sorry about that, there we go.

I should be better off than what I would if I left now. Okay so this is my setup. This is what I've done. I have a Yezu FT70. I've been using that radio for, oh, a better part of ten years. I just like the radio. It's cheap, it's like $160. It's extremely reliable, never breaks. The other one, like I said, for a long long time. In fact it still works. I put it in the closet as a backup. This is closer. Then I have a, for my antennas I don't have any. I have a clear spot, a clear node and an open spot for pro. Now the all-star or the clear node can do all-star and also Echo Link like Rios is talking. But one unique feature that I love about that particular clear node is I can also do digital using only FM radio. You do not need a digital radio to get on the digital modes when you're using a clear node. Okay? So you can pick up any radio that you want as long as it shows FM and it's on the 70 centimeter band. You can get it on the 70 centimeter band and you can talk D-Star, DMR, YS-A, V25, you name it. You can talk it on that system and have just an ordinary regular radio. Which is much cheaper, quite frankly. Now I have my open spot pro, the 4 Pro. It does everything but all-star and Echo Link. Alright? But guess what? I can put it in my pocket. It has a battery in it and I can take my radio and go anywhere and talk to anybody on the digital modes. That's the really sweet thing about it. Now I stay on YSF Fusion more than anything else.

I've never used Fusion, so I can't really comment on it, but if I were to comment on my favorite radio of all the ones I own which is about a dozen different kinds, different models, most of them are Chinese radios, and those are the ones I'd recommend, not the Bofang UV-5R. That's a crappy radio. What I would recommend is one that was already mentioned here, and that would be the Kwanchang UV-K5. If you're ordering that radio, Josh, it is only 30 bucks, but get the correct model. You're going to want the one with the silver front on it. You don't want to get the one that's all black. The one with the silver front is the newer model. These radios can accept custom firmware like what Gray said. When you get the radio out of the box, that's not what you're going to have because essentially it's a commercial radio when it comes out of the box. But when you flash the custom firmware to it, oh buddy, it unlocks a whole plethora of ham radio stuff.

I have a place over there I like to do. And so I can set the All Star to DMR and the open spot to my Fusion and scan two different channels and voila, I have basically two repeaters at the house to do one DMR. So I mean you have a lot of options. Another big option that's really nice, if you get an open spot or you get a clear node system, is the fact that you don't need, for instance, if you want DMR, you'd have to buy a DMR radio, a DMR node, a jumbo spot or an open spot or something like that. But you have to program the radio. You have to put a code plug in it and there's more of a learning curve and so forth like that. But using either one, the clear node or the open spot, you can actually program it via through the node. So if you want to be in whatever room that you want to be in, DMR or TGIF, you know, Brandmeister or whatever, just punch in the number and boom, you're there.

FT2500M's, the Yasu. They are a tink of a radio. I had one in my truck for a long time, and I took it out. Well, I'll say a long time. Generally a long time, ever since I had my ham radio. But I took it out a few weeks ago, because I was redoing some stuff in my truck. And I have a second one that I've powered on to make sure it works, but I don't mess with it. Man, those things have huge eat-a-cings on it. But I can't figure out a good way, without fluttering and all that kind of stuff, which I don't think I want to do right now, to making it work for my radio side. I think it would work great. I mean, I've read a few other people who have used them. So I'm ready to do what I'm looking to do. But then again, I would have to put another power supply in there with it. So, I don't know. I got some time. I'm definitely going to buy the car-shaming. I got it on my cart. I'm just waiting for a few things before I push buy now. But yeah, we'll get there. Little by little. And I'm hoping this is helping other people. I mean, to be completely honest, I know there's a few new people in here, and I can't be the only one that gets confused easily by this kind of stuff. And it's because of the information. The information is out there. AI is helping sort the information for me a little bit. But there's so much information out there when you search hot spots for ham radio, you get a million different kinds. So yeah, that's the problem. Too many decisions. Sometimes I wish everything was just JSU or everything was just Kidwood. Simple, Apple-ish style. But then I think about all the treats I like to do. No, the apple isn't for me. N-O-B-F.

Beautiful, beautiful day here in Joliet, Illinois. I don't see Joliet Jake anywhere, but I do see signs for the Route 66 Diner and I'm actually on Route 66. I'm looking at the historic route sign as we speak. So, uh, it's a year, I think they got a three billion dollar construction project, which I'm doing a small portion of, but they're building an outdoor area with mountains and stages and it's just going to be beautiful. But, uh, I think my favorite radio is my THF6A, is that sound right? The Ken one. It's the Tri-Bander and it has full power on a full five watts. It's 2 meters, 440 and it also has 1.25 meters, 220 megahertz. And that's my favorite of my HTs. But I have several. I did buy that bull thing that Daryl was talking about and I got it on Amazon and my dad kind of like, when I got back into ham radio, he's like, you know, you can get back in pretty cheap with the bull thing. And I took it down to the city of Chicago and it didn't work there. The front end was just getting overloaded by, you know, there's no filters or anything. So, um, that's when I bought the Kenwood. I have my original Yacu back from the 80s. I don't remember what my number is. But if I were to buy another radio, I really like that new Kenwood that replaced my radio that had three bands and now they added digital to it. I think it's only a non-ICOM radio that has that. It's a pretty pricey radio and with my situation right now, I'm on a budget and I just don't see me using it. I already have a D-Sire radio, one that Daryl recommended many years ago and this thing is, you could probably drop it off a building and it would last and go deep-sea diving with it.

Actually, I had two of them, one for me, one for my wife. It's a good radio. It's not a bad radio, but it does have its quirks. And I eventually sold it and got away from it. And it just wasn't for me. But do I have any recommendations of a particular radio? Well, mine are all pretty expensive other than the FT-70. There's some excellent radios out there. Depending on what you want to do, I'd sway one way or the other. And I could go on for that for 15 minutes. So anyways, just do what you want. Have fun. I like Gray's suggestion. Gray had a good suggestion. You get a clearedode with a mobile radio. They have a new mobile radio. It's FT-150. And then you get the clearedode with it. It all comes in one package. But it's an expensive price. It's $1,000. But you could set that up, put an antenna on your rear. And then you could stay on All Star or whatever else you want to do, because it works exactly the same way. You could keep it on analog, which that FT-150 is analog. But still, try every moda or every moda and find out what you like the most. And you're your own repeater. So you could leave. Depending on where you live, you could have a radius of, let's say, 20 miles from your house and be able to get on there and talk to people. And it's all you, baby. You're in control.

So since I have control for a second, you're all Mac users as far as I know. I mean, I'm looking at my list. We have Gray, Bill, Bill, and Rick. Rick, I don't know if you're an Apple user or not, but I know the other three are. They have released, oh gosh, it's been a month or so I guess, and I don't think I brought it up, but they released the Perplexity Comment. It's an AI browser. I've had it for a while. I haven't really used it much because my computer is on the fritz, and I basically just use my tablet and phone. However, oh, I have it on my work computer. I don't know why I don't use it. I'm not too ... It's a new browser. It's built off of Chrome, so it ought to be kind of familiar to everybody. However, it's an AI-enabled browser. People are saying it's awesome, and I can revolutionize the way they use the internet. The reason why that came up is because I have my YouTube thing on TV right now, and it has all the little thumbnails, and Steven Robles, who I watch every once in a while. He's not great. He's not bad, but he has a video he put out about the Perplexity Comment, and so I just thought I'd mention that. And Daryl, the Bluetooth speaker that you speak of, I have one I listen to most of the time unless I'm on a neck controller, and then I use my headset, because I don't sit still very much, so I got to have it on so I can hear it. And I typically use my Bose. I have a Bose Resolve 2. I've had it for, gosh, four years, three or four years. It's the best Bluetooth speaker I've ever owned in my life. Bose, man, they make some quality stuff. But yeah, that's how I normally listen to the net. That's how come my wife can hear it. She can't on net bass, because I really do need to have my headset on so I can hear every call sign. Okay, now I'm sending it back over to Daryl. I'll let him go, and then I'll switch it back over to Bill and let him go again."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T07:32:54+00:00","id":32748,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":32747,"text":" I don't think so.

I'm looking at the one, I'm going to buy the one that you all are looking in. I hate using my tablet. Any time you touch the screen of your tablet on PTT, it turns it off.

We are getting ready for it. Okay. Next week, the software that I manage does two major upgrades a year. When I say major, I mean sometimes it's life-altering, it seems like. And one of those is coming up here October 11th, I think is what I scheduled it for. So that means this whole month is basically me and research. Twice a year, I spend a good month to 45 days, twice a year, going through all of our scripts, all of our customizations, all of our custom forms, anything that we've customized inside of our system. I've got to make sure it works with the new upgrade. So I will be doing a lot of that over the next few weeks. I am hoping that with AI, I do plan on leveraging a couple of stacks to do this this time. I plan on using Notebook early on and probably chatTBT since it's the one I already have connected to this. And I'm hoping to use them to leverage and save a lot of time during this. So that will be interesting. Again, it's not fun. It's really monotonous and I don't look forward to it. However, the AI component might make this a little more fun to scroll down. So that is coming up on my to-do list for the next 30 days or so.

I'm really bad about figuring things out. I get it down and then I get bored. Is that happen to any of y'all? I mean, I do. I get, I mean, scripting. Okay, I wanted to learn how to script. Okay, I got it down to where I'm a fair scripter. Not great, not perfect, I'm better than a lot. And I'm not bored with it. I mean, I can't even think of things to script anymore. It's like, man, what do I want to do today? And see, I get a dedicated time three days a week to work on skill building for work. It's something my boss implemented. Spend an hour a day, three days a week, an hour to an hour and a half, and work on your skills. The idea behind that is, like scripting for an example. Now because I can script, we don't have to pay another company to come in and edit and write scripts and stuff like that. Not that we'd have to at this point anyhow. I mean, don't get me wrong, we're a big Internet company and lots of people can script a lot better than me. However, they're not familiar with the software that I'm very familiar with. So that plays a difference. But again, ham void. I agree with that statement very much. That is me. I do stuff. I get to where I'm pretty good at it, and then I'm like, oh, I don't know, boy, time to move on. I say that's because I have severe ADHD. Whether that's true or not, I don't know, but it makes sense to me. And you are correct. This is my ham club. I mean, we may be stretched all over the world at some point, but if I had a ham club here, it'd be like you guys. People I just chat with every day or so, ask for help, talk about personal things sometimes, become friends. Imagine that. Become friends. So, yeah, great. Always, always, always got good things to say. So many decisions to make, but I will get them made and inform everybody what I've been on doing.

Alright, so, that is the bottom of the list. We're going to go back up to the top. And it is only 8.40. Let me go for my list. One, two, three, four. Four or five people to work with. So, we might even get another one up to this, I don't know. Or we can close it early, whatever. I'm not telling the greatest, so I don't have a preference either way. Normally I tell you that's no longer, but I really don't have a preference today. Alright, so we've talked about handhelds, we've talked about digital modes, we've talked about, a little bit about ham radio under each, just because it felt like it was prudent. So, let's talk about this weekend, I guess. Anybody have any cool plans, good plans? I, myself, I'll probably stay in, I mean it's going to be nice Saturday and Sunday, so I'll probably be outside on those days if my back or my hip will allow it. And in a moment it's cut, I'm sure I will be. My wife told me to get me up, there's so much crap today. I'll probably get a pee, a nuclear goon color. Anyhow, yeah, I think I want to spend it outside if I can. I would love to go to the state park and run my bike, but I don't think my hip is going to let me do that. Today it's going to be up to around 99 degrees again here, and tomorrow the high is supposed to be 81. There's almost a 30 degree difference from one day to another. Is there any reason to suspect that that has any reason why everybody around here feels sick? Again, if you don't like the weather in Texas, wait five minutes.

It's really good, nice and clear, nice and bassy. You never think, you know, years ago that you'd get this kind of sound from a wireless Bluetooth speaker, but here we are, man. It seems like all technology has expanded in leaps and bounds and basically shot off in every direction. I mean, it's not one thing. It's not a hundred things that have advanced. It's like everything. The smaller chips get, the more powerful they get, the better things can be done. And I mean, this Bluetooth or 5.3 is just out of this world. I mean, it's pretty much latency free. And one of these headsets here that I got a little while ago that has a 2.4 gigahertz dongle that plugs in with it, and that gives you literally zero latency because it's on its own band, its own frequencies. It's not actually Bluetooth when you're using the little dongle, but man, technology's come a long way. Any further comments, Josh, about that radio before you pass it over to Bill?

Well, I stare down at my dock, which cost me a fortune just to get in and out. And I'm saying I don't have a boat on it. So I think I'm going to pull the trigger and tell Ellie, pull the dock. Get the dock out of here. I am going to try and, you know, you hurt your back, it sounds like we hurt our backs in exactly the same spot. It's just to the side of your spine and it's definitely a muscle and I did that in May. And that killed my whole summer. It took a long time for it to be repaired. And it's just coming back now. So now that that's coming back, I may try and get the seats off the boat. My boat is moon base alpha. Get the seats off the boat and start figuring out how the new ones go in. Because I look at them and I line them up and I go, I don't understand how this is going to fit. And I know how that ends up. It ends up with getting it on there and making it fit somehow. But that's it. That's it for me. This is the 73 round, right? It is. It's always a pleasure. You guys really are my ham club. I'm not kidding when I say that. But we'll see if we'll do that. I'll probably put a dishwasher in at my son's house. And he got a dishwasher, he put it in the back of his car and it's been there for three weeks. So he needs to push. He needs to push.

You just can't get here in Canada I think that's that's a letdown because I mean if you decide, you know On a Monday that you want a dirt bike for the weekend and you don't want to pay much for it Well, Amazon is the way to go. You'll get a cheap dirt bike on there, you know, that'll probably last you a couple of years You know for thousand bucks or less in the States here in Canada We want a dirt bike we're relying on the used market or you know Dealer prices and dealer prices just suck because it doesn't matter what a dealer price is You're gonna get hit with a whole bunch more fees before you get out the door with today But down there you can order what you want on Amazon and I'm envious. I've got to say very very envious Other than that though. I'll pass it over to you Josh. I'll be here for finals on the next go-around Really enjoyed the net this morning at least the part that I was paying 100% attention to which was the first half typically the second half I've been chatting back and forth with the brother and having to listen and Half listening to music and just man all over the place.

I understand if you need to go, I do that from time to time. I am starting my work day, typically starting on Fridays between 8 and 9. It's 8.30 and I actually logged on about an hour ago just to see if there's anything pressing. So there are times when I'm actually, peace out, I got to go too. So I get it, I get it, I get it. All right, we're going to move back up. Well, let's call, I'll tell you what. We're going to talk about some news real quick and then we'll move into politics one more time. We're going to talk about ham radio news and that's what we're talking about, right? That's the topic, ham radio. So in the news, as of yesterday actually, there are some things like the U.S. import tariffs are delaying radio equipment deliveries. I knew that was going to happen. If I remember that, most of not pretty much all of our ham radio equipment comes from overseas, right? I mean, Kenwood's an American brand, but I'm willing to bet it's still manufactured overseas. So yeah, I could see where the tariffs were going to make prices even harder on ham radio people. I don't know if anybody knew BA-MATECH, Marcus Bassler. He's a silent key now. His call time was Delta, Lemo 6, Yankee, Yankee, Mike, DL 6, YYM. The next piece of news is Canada's ham radio news. It is Strict Key Month. The event is currently live. That's a good thing for you CW people out there who, I guess you could do it in Canada or the United States, but are y'all taking part of the Strict Key Month? Let's see what else you got. ARRL CEO David Meinster appeared on the DX Mentor podcast to discuss recent developments, including the Huntsville Ham Fest and legislative advocacy. Guys and girls, we need to pay a lot more attention to the legislative advocacy. We are losing ham bands. If you're not familiar with that, we can talk about that. Gray can talk about it at length, I believe also. Here in the United States, we are at great risk of losing more and more of our ham radio bands. And the batch filing system for the FCC has gone down, impacting licensing real close. So if you're trying to renew your license, get a new license, something like that, you may be having some issues with it for the next few days. So yeah, that's kind of what's going on ham radio news. I don't know why, but yesterday I thought we should talk about ham radio news since we're talking about ham radio. There is a new piece of gear out. It's really weird and I haven't looked at it at all. But there is a new high performance mobile transceiver. It's AM FM, has seven color LCD. It is called the President Ronald. It's a 10-12 meter video. So I haven't really looked at it yet, but it did pop up. I thought, you know, you people who watch new videos, not like that. All right. I'm going to take colors.

My warning for Fold phones. I had the Samsung Fold 3 for the last 3 or 4 years before I got the phone I have now. I work with 3 different phones man. The Apple dramatically changed the way the glass bending thing works. I know for Samsung at least the glass technology isn't quite there yet. That's usually why I work with 3 phones. Right in the middle where it folds at I would develop a crack or whatever in the glass. Not for me, just for folding it and unfolding it repeatedly. Every single one of them would get a black line down the middle and then half of the phone you couldn't use. Of course they would not accept responsibility for that and for the first 2 phones I paid $250 or something like that to get it replaced through my insurance. But when the third phone did it I was done. I told them they could take that phone and beep beep beep. I was pretty nice about it though and I ended up getting the Galaxy S25 Ultra. And I'll keep it until the S26 comes out because the S26 is supposed to be really really really cool with AI and stuff like that. So I will be getting the new phone when it comes out. But until then this one looks pretty good. So yeah just be careful with the folding phones. I would do a crap ton of research to see if they fix that. I know on the Fold 6 because I was going I was really thinking about getting it. I like the phones.

But I'm just looking for something that's not too technical and I've watched some videos on how to get registered, download the software and whatnot. It looks fairly simple. I imagine it'll be a little more complicated than what it looks like in the videos that I've seen. But yeah, George, you kind of answered my question. It sounds like I'm not going to get into any kind of a trap with Yezu by registering. I think I'll go that route because it's cheaper than buying the HR-I200 node.

All right, well that brings us to the bottom of this list, and we caught the chicken, so we're going to go back up to the top to Gray. He is now the new top of the list, KCTPKG. We have talked about HTs, we have talked about some digital, Echo Link, all sorts of stuff. I actually have DBSwitch pulled up and I was looking at it, because I have it on there, and I just never really set it up. I just put it on there in case I wanted it in the future, and it sounds like I probably do. It seems like that's what ClearNode uses to connect all the digital modes up to it. So if they can do it with DBSwitch, I don't know why I can too. So I think that's what I'm going to play with here. Well, that, let me just find a radio I can connect to my node. But I can actually use it. But yeah, I think that's where I'm at. So you have the analog bridge, which handles the audio and protocol translation. You then have a digital bridge, which connects the specific networks to the digital modes, whether it's DMR or a DSU or whatever. The switch server is actually the brain. And then I already have DBSwitch mobile because it's on my phone. That's why I'm not using it today, but I do use it a lot of the time. So it sounds like, yeah, I could probably do this without connecting the radio to the node, but that kind of defeats the purpose of hooking the radio up to the node. So I think I'll be buying two things. I'm going to be buying the CraySharm radio that's been suggested today. And then I have to order something. A ClearNode, the thing that Gabby told me and I still can't find it, a Sherry Pie hack, or come up with my own solution. I do have an all-in-one cable that works. Like I said, I've already had it connected up to the bail thing I had. So it would seem like to me to find a Kenridge-style imprint on something else that can handle the transmission might be the cheapest way out. Cheapest being relative. Like again, I'm frugal, not cheap. So I don't mind buying quality stuff. I don't want to spend a lot of money on this because I don't know if I like digital video. I don't know if I want to do that. I do know I want to try. So I wish we had a good club around here because I would be willing to bet a lot of the clubs, maybe that would be a topic that we talk about at some point, but I'm willing to bet a lot of the radio clubs, and I'm guessing a lot of you all are part of radio clubs. Y'all have possibly things like this already set up that you can look at, interact with, see if it's something that you really want to use or not. I just really wish that I lived closer to a bigger town sometimes. Most of the time I'm glad I don't. Okay, so moving up to the top of the list. Great, KC2PKG. Man, it is 818. I'm not sure it's quite time to do 73 rounds yet, so I think we've got two more in. Why don't you dictate and start the conversation for this next round?

In fact we were talking on the local net, the outdoors net last night on the 04 Overpeater, we were talking about that. And I usually do a little short astronomy, you know, what's up in the sky segment on there. And we were talking about how the moon just looks dirty. And maybe they'll start calling the full moon in September the dirty moon because every year it's kind of brown and dirty looking. I don't think it's going to get any better. Alright, we'll take 73 some L and let's tie the ribbons on this thing with Mr. Terry.

And Domingo is new to cattle board, get them out on the water and stuff. And we were doing that. But it's time for me to do windsurfing. And I used to have eight windsurfers. They're real small for the gorge and stuff and jumping to big, light wind lunge and stuff. And I sold four of them. And in this part of the country, it's almost gone. Europe, huge. On each one side or the other US, there's some stuff. And not much here. But anyway, excuse me. So anyway, so I put all my gear together and sails and all that and everything. I went to the lake because I can't bring the dog because they don't let them run free. And I was missing a part of a mast. Darn it. So I had to put it all together and put it in the truck and go back and stuff. Anyway, the wind dropped down. So darn it. I need to get the windsurfing thing out. So I still have four windsurfers because the small ones are for high, high wind. And I'm just not going to be doing that. So anyway, let's see. So I've been working on my toilet. And I did the wax and everything. And it's still leaking at the top part now. So I'll be working on that today. That's just so much fun. So anyway, and I have a friend of mine that works at the Rocky Museum here in Colorado. And he's the ex-Marine. And he's one of the guys that plays in the band with me and stuff. And so he's really, really into all these aircraft and stuff. There's B-52s and all kinds of stuff there. So I have not been up there lately. So I need to get back and get that done.

I needed an Android phone and being the guy that I am, I decided, well, at first I had the Flip and then they gave me a deal. They traded in the Flip and I got the Fold and for cheaper, got like $1,000 off trading in my Flip, which was good because the Fold was like $2,000. I'm making my payments on it and that gives me an Android phone and I don't use it a whole lot and without my hotspot in the truck, I don't use it other than sometimes to open it up and make sure everything is up to date in the phone, but so I do have that and I like it, but it's hard to switch back and forth between the Apple and Android, Android and Apple. Most everything I do is on Apple, so I don't get the chance to use Android that much, but I do have it and I just think if they do make an iPhone that flips or folds, they're going to have that big screen and they get a lot of experience and a lot of programs and apps that are designed for a tablet type system with the iPad, so having that iPhone that flips, they're going to have the iPhone apps on the front and the iPad apps on the inside, so it kind of gives me goosebumps just thinking about it, but we'll see what happens. I think they're all heard of me about the headsets, so like I said, I'm looking forward to that to check out to see if they are really the Apple headsets just unbranded and what that sounds like.

We're getting out here again at our favorite perch and a beautiful morning. We didn't get any more rain last night, but the air is clean and we got almost two inches from that hurricane off of New Mexico. And so it really, really poured the other night. The noise on the roof was amazing. And the whole driveway was just like a lake out there yesterday morning. So it was welcome, welcome, welcome, the first real rain and well like that probably in several years, I think. So, anyway, it's just cool things off and you can imagine Phoenix, Arizona yesterday was the high, what we had out where we live anyway, it was 89. So, I'll tell you, that was a welcome change. But, oh, it was pretty cold in the pool though, it was down to 82. So, but anyway, yeah, that's really interesting listening to Glenn tell about the Jenny there and the history and the days of it and everything. I'll always remember my mother telling me when she's going to high school in the Red Bluffs there was Clyde something, he was a well-known stunt pilot. And he came to the high school and of course knowing my mom, she was one of the ones that hands up when asked if she'd like to go for a flight. So, it was really, really exciting thing. And she just, I wish I could, I was, no, I can't remember the name of the pilot now, but it was escaping me. No, no, that wasn't it. So, anyway, I've always wanted to fly in a biplane and we had our chances up there. I think they were doing that for a while in Sedona, but we didn't take part when they had them going up there. That would have been quite a beautiful sight. Oh, let's see, what was that? I missed getting home to her new apartment and how she found everything. So, everybody take care.

However, it does sound like you won't have to wait very long, and you'll have some National Guard soldiers to help you guard your tools. That was a joke, by the way. Sort of. Okay, well, it is 906. We'll stop the 73 rounds, and moving up to the top of the list, KC2PKG. This is repeater station QAJ5ILQ. This is KC2PKG. And I'll say it once again, it's always a privilege and a pleasure to be part of this group. It really is. I love it or not. Looks like Trump is backing off on Chicago. Now he wants to, he's hoping he'll be invited in by New Orleans. So those are the people to watch. You know, you made quick mention of HAMS losing UHF frequency between 430 and 440. And that may not matter to a lot of HAMS, except the ones who do satellite work. And the one people who want to listen to NASA and stuff like that. They've only got four satellites up there, and I guess their ground stations are wired for that UHF stuff. So they want us to give that up, so get out of their way. They've got 238 more satellites to go. So we'll see. And if you look at Discord, I put up the article and read the Radio Society of Great Britain's comment. They pretty much lay it out, what's going on there. And you will notice that UHF stuff, especially for repeaters, is much cheaper than VHF. It's ground-following, but basically it's much cheaper. That appeals to HAMS. It really does. So consequently, there are a lot of repeater systems all over the planet that run in that frequency range. And these guys can't promise anything. They haven't really presented a technical case for why we should give up. 10 MHz of frequency, or 100 MHz of frequency. So it's that kind of thing. But you know what? It's a company against HAMS, and I've been seeing this coming for a long time. We'll see what the FCC does. Guys, have a great rest of the day. 73's to you. I will try and figure out a way to make myself useful today, or not. We'll see. But my lunch is already made, so I'm happy about that. Anyway, Josh, great neck against adversity. Amazing. Amazing.

Oh, there it is. They're the Sony WHCH700N. They're awesome. I mean, I've never had a set of headphones as good as these. I connect them up to, I think, three different devices. I actually have them connected to my work computer, my phone, and my tablet. And depending on which one I'm using, it's smart enough to know which one to use. However, I still have the mic issue with Android ham radio stuff like Echo Link. I can't use the mic with it, so I've got to keep the device close to my mouth. However, I did find out, I think, I want to retest to make sure, the repeater phone on the Apple phone that I use works just fine with the built-in mic to the headset. I planned on using that this morning, but you know, not feeling good, didn't get it set up in time or whatever. Anyhow, I don't know if you're looking for a good set, but these Sony's are amazing. I want to say they were $300 when I got them a couple of years ago. Actually, truth be told, I didn't buy these. We used a company called Uline at work. Back in those days, I did all the ordering for stuff like that. And so, X amount of dollars, you get a free gift. I would save them up and buy really cool stuff like my Bose Bluetooth speaker, my Sony wireless speaker, I got a grill. I got all kinds of stuff through that program. One of the downsides of changing from that job to what I do now is I don't get those cool little perks like that. But yeah, the headphone is amazing.

That's a little thing that pops up over the front of your face, and then it provides filtered air so you have clean air to breathe while you're listening to your music. But that's it.

Well, it's kind of a special day and here's the reason that on November 10, 1775 in the Tonne Tavern in Philadelphia, the United States Marine Corps was born and so therefore that would be the birthday. Well, with my board membership on the Flying Leathernecks Historical Foundation, I'm also a trustee of an organization called the November 10th Association and they commemorate and celebrate that event. So we are having a luncheon out at the hangar today with the November 10th Association and I'll have the opportunity to show off to work on the jenny so that should be a lot of fun. And then of course later on down the road on November 10th, we'll celebrate the Marine Corps' birthday. It'll be a joint project between the November 10th Association and the Flying Leathernecks Foundation and it'll be held at the Lion Air Museum which is a fabulous location out at the John Wayne Airport and so they move a number of the aircraft out of the hangar and set up a really nice environment on the inside there. So looking forward to that and also at some point today we're meeting with the tail section team. We've got a lot of work done and we're going to really see a lot of progress today on that as well.

I wanted to have a blood test. Everything was going with the prostate cancer thing. And that turned out A++, okay. And I had a flesh wound on my lower left leg and he said, Ah, that looks like it's healing, okay. I said, you know, I sense that my left ear, maybe it's wax filled up or something because it's just a little less sensitive than my right ear. Can you take a peek, people? Sure, sure, sure. So she looked in there with all those instruments and I said, Oh boy, lots of wax. I said, Well, how soon can you sign up for an eye, ear, nose and choke dye and wash that out with warm water or whatever gizmos and gadgets they have? Well, we could start right here in this clinic. You don't even have to move. I said, Good, do it. So a young lady came in and a warm bottle of water and started squirting and looking and squirting and looking.

Great to hear everyone this morning. And well it was raining this morning so we got .04 inches of rain. Didn't get any lightning where we were but there was certainly a lot of lightning around the area. So, but the rain was a welcome thing so that was kind of neat to wake up to this morning. And let's see, don't know what, we're going to try and get some bocce in this evening. I got to send out an email to all our neighbors and say hey yeah we're going to give it a shot and see how that plays and let's see what else is going on. Not a lot. We have a little shopping to do this morning and then it's in to start working on guitars this afternoon so we're supposed to get up around 90 degrees today so with the humidity it's actually fairly warm out so kind of interesting. And possibly more showers on the way. We'll see what happens and be curious to see how this day plays out. Any rate, the smoke has been fairly heavy here. We were up around 90 today this morning when I got up for the AQI and downtown was 180 or so. So yeah, it's been a little smoky around here. We've got a couple of fires still poking their ugly heads around and so there you go. That, we're not threatened but it's, yeah the smoke is a little annoying. All right, we'll say 73.

It's about 56 and we're supposed to make it up to 72 degrees today, a heat wave. But now that we're in September, pretty much all the tourists have gone and the fog should start lifting. And September should be a nice, pleasant month and maybe even into October. We could use some rain, but you know, usually September, October is really nice down here. And the traffic is lightened up because, you know, we don't have the millions of people coming to visit our ocean.

Although our prognostication machine says I might get a thunderstorm here in about two hours. So it could happen. We've been getting a bit of that lately, which we appreciate by the way. They usually come in the evening though. Afternoon, evening, all the clouds blow up, you know, six, seven miles high in the sky. And then it dumps a fat pile of rain. And that's always awesome. So anyway, Brooks is up next. Hello and good morning, K9PDC. I came out in Kent this morning for a meeting. Yeah, a little bit hazy out here still. It doesn't quite look as bad as yesterday morning did. But I did hear, I think it was Tree that was talking about the moon last night. And yeah, so I was out playing softball last night. And when the moon first came up, it was very, very red when we first saw it, when it started to get dark. And then as it got higher in the sky, it got more and more orange. Very cool looking. I didn't see it the night before. I think Magoo or someone has mentioned it on the net that it was supposed to be a blood moon. But anyway, yeah, so looking forward to the weekend. Megan and I are at home this weekend. Oh, it's been a while since we've been at home for the weekend. So kind of looking forward to that. Football starts this weekend. We are going to the Husky game tomorrow. So that should be fun. We'll probably be watching at least part of the Seahawks on Sunday. Fall is here. Football is usually a sign of it.

You had gone on to more important things, maybe a coffee refill. The mountain is not out, and I'll say the air quality index, if I look at my weather guesser here, is 56, which is about what it was yesterday. And the ultraviolet index is one, which Apple characterizes as low. Imagine that. I'm reading a new book. One of my neighbors, we were up until like the wee hours of Monday morning and talking about all kinds of stuff. And she gave me a book to read while she's gone, and she's going overseas for a couple of weeks. But it's written by a friend of hers, Patricia Grayhall. And I'm already on chapter 10. I mean, she gave the book to me Sunday night, but of course it waited until yesterday to start reading it. That's difficult. A place for us, a romance, a quasi-true story, you know, like historical fiction. It's a fiction, but it is based on real life. So I've used two minutes here. Oh, I finally, finally moved my little floor standing air conditioner that Tim gave to me a few years ago, some years ago. I moved it into the bedroom and did a proper installation with the hose going through the window frame and all that stuff.

He used to live in Fountain Hills which is kind of northeast of the Phoenix area. It's actually a little planned community that is well away from everything and they are what's called a dark sky community which means \u2013 it's really weird. I've driven there at night and there's no street lights. There's none at all. I mean buildings can have some lights on stuff but there's no street lights and you're encouraged to keep it dark or whatever you'd like that for, stargazing and using. I remember driving down Chris' old street. He moved to North Carolina. I'm going to visit him in a couple weeks. But when I drive down his old street Indian Wells Avenue, the only light on his street was my headlights. It was like a little trippy actually. Anyway, and on that I want to throw out another astral thing from Arizona here. What was I going to say? The telescope up in Flagstaff was the first stuff. I can't remember the name of the location but they were the first ones to discover Pluto. The non-planet Pluto was discovered at the Lowell Observatory up just outside of Flagstaff. Anyway, that's a great place to visit by the way. If you ever get down here, they've got actually five telescopes on site there and the public can go and look through them and visit and stuff like that. Got to go at night of course. Anyway, just throwing that out there. And I'll send a note to Theresa about the, put some pictures up if you can. All right, it's the 9 o'clock now. It's still the 9 o'clock now.

Dave and I both lit up the voterscope at the same time so we got our streak going there Dave. And it's good to hear that Steve can hear again. So that's great news Steve. Keep it up. Okay let's see what's going on. We got smoke here. Oh my God we got smoke. The air quality index right now is 113 or 131. I don't know one of those but it's up there. And you can look right at the sun this morning there was so much smoke. You know it was... We usually sleep with our window wide open at night and it's been so smokey we had to close it. And so it closed not only the window but also the blinds. At 7 o'clock it was still pitch dark in the bedroom because the sun had not come through at all. So yeah I don't know how much longer this is going to last but all those fires up in the north part of Stevens County here is really getting bad. But at least it's not going to be so hot today. It's not going to hit 90. I don't know what we had. We had 92 or 93 yesterday here. But today the weather forecast is only saying 87 so that's going to be a lot more comfortable. But still can't go outside because I hate to. It smells bad out there. So anyway that's about all we've got here. So 7-3's everybody. Have a good weekend and we'll talk to you all later.

Those are all from basically the back deck. You have to be careful. As you mentioned earlier, I am surrounded by trees. Anything that you try to point the telescope at has to be pretty high in the sky, elevation. I generally look for anything 70 degrees or higher in elevation. Then, of course, you have to let it sit and take multiple exposures and then stack them together. The telescope is really neat because you can tell it to point at an object. There is of course a catalog of stuff. It knows your GPS location from your phone. You can connect your phone to the telescope. Then it figures out where things are in the sky. Then it will track. It will actually keep it, I guess, account for the Earth's rotation and keep the telescope pointed at the thing you are looking at. It just takes 10 second exposures as the default. I haven't changed that, but you can go longer if you want to risk star trails. Then it stacks them together. Some of those, like the spiral galaxy, I think that's called. The one picture of the spiral galaxy was taken over, I think, about three or four hours of exposures. Then it stacks them all together. That's how you end up getting better images. It's not high resolution, but at least you can take pictures of stuff and take a look. Anyway, I'll go rambling. Back to you, Ron.

Thank you for doing the net. Let's see, I'm just at work here. A bit of sad news. Back on Monday we had to put down one of our sweet little kittens. She stopped eating, was gotten a little dehydrated. We took her to the vet and found out that she was hiding, having some liver issues. So the vet wasn't sure, well the vet was pretty sure that a couple of days, even a couple of days of intensive care would not solve the problem. So we said goodbye to her. We held her in our arms as the vet did their business. So it was sad but I think it was a beautiful and proper way to go. So there's that. Just been trying to give the other cat all the love she needs. Anyway, today I'm just at work getting about my day. So hope everybody has a wonderful day.

I'm going to turn the radio down. Sorry about that. But I got up early today, well I got up early to get Robert off to work and then I went back to snooze for a little bit. Then I got up to go to a garage sale that was near our house because Robert spotted a cabinet that he wanted. It's a big blue cabinet with square cubbies in it. It's one that you probably recognize if you saw a picture of it. It's one that you'd see in an auto shop that holds nuts and bolts and stuff and things like that. And he said, I want that. So I showed up early and I waited until they permitted people to go in and I immediately said, I want that blue cabinet. And so she took the price tag off of it for me. And loads of people showed up wanting the cabinet. So I'm glad I got there early and scored it. It's in the back of my truck now. I had help getting it in so I don't want to take it out by myself. It's not that heavy but I just don't want to scratch my truck or myself. And then I found the Herb Albert album that I've been looking for forever. I was at a Driftstar with Dean recently, ODB, and he found it and I was so envious. But I found a copy that's in pristine condition at the yard sale. And then I picked up a couple of other good albums as well. So I'm looking forward to spinning some vinyl. Thanks so much for hosting. Thanks for getting me in. Happy Friday, all the numbers.

It's like all these, there's no light anywhere. So it's real nice here for doing observations. We do get a little light from the city itself, but it's not bad. So for the most part, we've got some really good observing going on here. We love to sit out in the hot tub at night and watch media. So there you go.

Two blocks away from me to the south is the Eila Indian, Eila River Indian Reservation. And that's wide open spaces out there. So I have a darker sky than many people here. I mean, I've got light pollution to the north and frankly, there is one street light. I mentioned hot tub gazing. There's one street light that sits out in front of my house and I am literally searching on Marketplace to get some of those six foot black room shade separator things to stick out there because that one stupid light messes up my stargazing.
