I just did GROSSE maybe. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta Michael here in Kirkland. It's a nice day Jack. I don't know if it's going to hit 80 or not. It feels a little humid. Actually I slept in and then I went for a short walk. I haven't been doing much because of my three operations over the last two years. I'm feeling okay now. Let's see if I can get some hiking in and stuff. I guess between GROSSE and I we can talk forever here but maybe some more customers. Anyway, not much else going on. Of course the last two days I had my 60th class reunion gathering of folks. Some of the folks are really looking old Jack. Anyway, I got a little plumbing project. I'm trying to figure if I want to get excited about doing it or not. I have trouble plumbing under a sink. You got to get down and crawl up the sink and try to see with your progressive glasses or bifocals. It's just not as easy as it used to be. I'll probably do it. I got a really nice ergo pad, full length body one that's really cushy and easy on my knees. Anyway, that's what's going on here Jack. Thanks for on the net. Let's see what GROSSE has to say.

Everything's still going good with my house. The weeds are growing high. Matter of fact, they're too high. One of these days, I'll get them taken care of. Just going to have to put a fire under my butt and do it myself. Not much going on. I've decided with the way things have been going in the mountains and stuff lately, yeah, it's probably going to be the same next year, but I'm going to just kind of hold off and finish up the building I want to do on the car for camping and stuff. That'll save me another $700, $800 for insurance for the year. Just leave it on standby, and then next spring, go gung ho and stuff, and everything should be ready to go and just go out and do it. I still want to do the, I think it's the passenger side. Yeah, it's the passenger side upper and lower ball joints I need to do still. It's not as bad as the driver's side was, but it's getting there, and I need to get it taken care of. That would be a good time to do it when ball runs around. It's a little cooler to go out there and beat on the car and get it done. So that's my story on that. I'm sticking to it. I hope everybody has a good day, better tomorrow. That's gross, he's saying.

Speaking of projects, I put together my All Star node. It took a little while because I had to kind of master at least the Linux commands I needed to use. But it seems to work good. I tested it last night when I got home. I was going to check in the 9 o'clock net and man, you guys get a pile up. It was real busy and I'm looking at the clock thinking, hey, 4.3 is going to come really quick. I thought I will have to try that later. Anyway, I built it with raspberry pi and a sound card device called an AIOD. I'm trying to remember all. Let's see. I can't remember what the acronym stands for. Basically, you can connect different things with it. You can use it for APRS with dire wolf, that kind of thing, packet, whatever you like. It works pretty good. It does pick up some RF noise. So I had to separate some stuff and I had to put ferrite rings on stuff and what have you. But it works pretty good. Let's turn that down. We've got in Lacey, it's kind of hazy out, but it is sunny.

Sometimes I get a little ahead of myself. Happens in other sections of my life as well. Anyway so one thing I'd reported a week or two ago was that I'd misplaced my vacuum cleaner, my Eureka little canister yellow thing. I hadn't found it. I looked it everywhere. I did find it a few days ago. I went over to a friend's house where I'd done some work on their house and left. This is repeater station for yellow kilo 7 November, November, all-time low 16-2. So now I have two Eureka yellow vacuum cleaners, the mighty, mighty, very nice vacuum cleaner I'd recommend to anybody. Let's see, yesterday I went over to a different friend's house to help with something, a couple of chores they wanted to have done including, this wasn't on the list originally, but they said they'd had this electronic lock installed on their bedroom door. You push the buttons and it unlocks or you flip the key or whatever you want. Give a little security there to the room they're renting and the lock wasn't working. I said, oh when did you put this in? I don't remember seeing that. They said they had a locksmith come over the week before and install it. It's one of these quick set locks that go for a little over a hundred bucks. I said, what do you mean it's not working? It just goes beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. I go, okay, let me take a look. So I spent about a half hour, 40 minutes looking at it and going, oh, it looks like it was kind of installed properly, but what's it doing, the beep, beep, beep. Then I go look at through the instruction manual. I said, did the guy happen to look at the instructions for this? She says, I don't think so. Well there in item number 15 of the instructions it says, if you have a door that goes in the other direction, then you need to press these three buttons and it will reset the lock to operate properly. So I press the three buttons and the lock operated properly. Item number 15 in the instruction list. And it seems like, you know, they would have mentioned something at the beginning of the instructions like, oh, by the way, you know, this lock can be operated either on a left hand or right hand door. And if it's the wrong door, then you just push these three buttons and it'll correct it. But they didn't put that into the instructions and I'm going to contact those about that. But anyway, so here we were, the guy had charged her a little over a hundred bucks, walked out the door and says, well, it's broken. And that was that. And I'm going to go, she ought to get a rebate on that because that is not the case. And the guy also did not drill the hole in the door jamb that would have let the bolt extend fully. There was only about a half inch hole in the door jamb and it needs to be a full inch. So that was also not done correctly."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T12:37:58+00:00","id":33029,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33028,"text":" 89 IQS"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T12:38:22+00:00","id":33030,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33029,"text":" KK7IJZ, KK7IJZ, Rebecca."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T12:40:20+00:00","id":33031,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33030,"text":" I don't know if it's starting next week or the week after but we'll find out here real soon.

Get a couple things done around the house. Hopefully I'll get an antenna put up. I've got a couple antennas to put up and I've been putting them off. We'll see about that. At least get the mounts up for them. Might need to get some coax. But anyway, we'll get that figured out. Tomorrow night, Meagan and I are going to the Husky Games so that should be a lot of fun. Outside of that, looking forward to the educational talks coming up. Let's see, we've got Kirk on September 13th talking about Armchair SSTV. I think it was something like that was the title. It was a very clever title. And then of course you talked to Mike earlier in this round who will be talking about satellites and communication with the ISS. So looking forward to those.

I've got some good news and then I've got some good news. So first things first, this Friday marks a month that I've been suffering with severe earwax in my left ear. And I don't want to go through the whole litany of doctors that have looked at it, but the last one was this Tuesday at an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist. So the best instrument, best know-how. And she went at it as vigorously as she could and said, you know, I think we're making progress, but I think you've got to make another appointment. So I went, okay, thank you, you did a good job, you're very gentle. Name is Emma. Emma. Anyway, to make a long story short, this morning, she, the doctor Emma said, you've been using that Dabrox for earwax, continue doing that until I see you next. Okay, I said okay. So this morning I put some more of these drops in. The scenario is here you do the drops for four days and then on the fifth day you take their little squeezers plunger and wash your ear out with warm water and everything is supposed to fall out and everything is supposed to be good. Well, over these last months that hasn't worked. But to follow her suggestion, I went ahead and started using the drops about two days, three days ago. And this morning, before we got on the 9 o'clock, 9 a.m. net, I had some more drops. I walked out the front door and I was first online and all of a sudden I heard this click in my ear, kind of like if you filled your ear with water in the shower or maybe trimming and you took your head over and all of a sudden it clears up. Yeah, everybody's had that, right? At least once, right? Well, guess what? The hearing came back in the left ear. I mean I would say 95%. I can't believe it. I jumped up in joy, up and down in joy and couldn't wait my turn to tell everybody the good news on the 9 o'clock. Well, when I got home I said, well, I better follow the protocol and maybe the thing's ready to be just washed out with a little plunger and a little warm water, squish, squish.

We've got a lavender plant that will whoosh out the back garden there. And we have dozens of bees that, you know, big bumblebees that kind of go and do what they have to do right there. And sometimes he just sits next to it and is absolutely fascinated. He watches them flying around and everything else. But now and again, he'll just say, I want to taste you. And have a wee snap and there we go. But he doesn't kill them or anything. He kind of gets them in the mouth and drops them in the ground and then they kind of wash themselves down and get back up again. But we're going to teach him to leave the bees alone. So that's kind of fun. And no, there's honestly so much fun, but as well, so, oh goodness me, it can be so, so time consuming.

He's going to be a big boy this Odin. So he's got big paws. Every time he goes to sleep and wakes up, he's bigger. And actually, you can physically, honestly see him getting big. So yeah, he's definitely going to be a big boy. So there we go. Anyway Paul, thank you, thank you so much. Hey listen, we're going to have some fun over the next few weeks. And even Mum's just talking about puppies with the elves. And I know that M7KNO is jiped in there. She's coming up shortly as well. And Bex is fantastic at getting their dogs to behave themselves. So always lean on Bex for a little bit of comment and advice there too. But she's up shortly. But anyway Paul, in the meantime we'll say 73 to you. Say hi to Sandra as well. Even give Sandra a little Scottish squeeze from myself and my wife Helen Queen of Scotland. That would be amazing. And of course, a gentle squeeze for Rhea as well. That would be great. So Paul, you take care. Have a great weekend. Stay safe. Stay well. We'll say 73 to KC1 VQS. And with that, we're going to Memphis, Tennessee. It's a land of Elvis and barbecue and everything else. We're going to go and see what Scott's got to say. Maybe Robbie raised in third-party traffic. I don't know if they might even have Elvis Priestly around for dinner this evening. I'm not too sure. We'll have to go and find out. Scott, how are you sir? KY4NB from GM0UEB. Neck Control Scott.

It's always great to talk to you, sir. It really is. All technology, of course, is a fantastic thing. Without it, we wouldn't be here, that's for sure. And it's all there to help, but there's always a kind of other side, isn't there, when things go wrong and trying to get things sorted. Oh, how frustrating it can be. But I think things are kind of negatively fixed these days. I remember having maybe kind of PC problems back in the 90s and trying to fix something. I'd be staying myself up all night long just trying to fix some things. It just wasn't working. And then there's probably something quite simple that anyone else could have known about, but I just never knew the time. But these days, if things go wrong, you can kind of recover things a little bit quicker. So maybe tech is helping us deal with tech. I'm not too sure. AI is taking over. I'm not too sure. We'll have to do that. Maybe that's another discussion altogether. But Mark, in the meantime, thank you. Thank you so much. You and yours have a fantastic weekend. It's always great to hear from you, sir. And we love hearing you check into other nets I listen to and check into. You're always around, so thanks for all your support for the amateur radio community. So take care and have a wonderful weekend. Stay safe. Stay well. Mark, we'll catch you again later. We'll see you all the best in 7.3, the KC8FQV. That did rhyme, folks. I'm going to write that down. Anyway, next, folks, is a man with a bronze medal around his neck, and it's all the way from Oklahoma City in Oklahoma. It's Will. It's our friend Will, also known as KJ5GWN. Will, welcome, sir.

And that's not only for people in my year but also particularly today because I think it was the year 12 induction day today. Year 12s were in school so I was able to see some of my friends from the year just below. So pretty happy about that as well. So obviously there's still familiar faces, definitely less than there were before but still familiar faces nonetheless around the place because of course the people dropping out from year 12 into 13 and the people who chose to go different directions from year 11.

And yes, you're right. I can't hide anything, can I? But the situation was that I was one of two social studies teachers in the school and three days before the beginning of school last week, she decided to retire and they had no one to cover that week for them. So they called me and that was a hard decision to make because that was week one of my wife's vacation. This is week two. They wanted me, but I did fill in the three student days of last week and because I knew all the kids and it was just an easy, actually easy planning for me to do and I wanted to help them out. But they wanted me for this week and I said no. I need to be with my wife on vacation and I need to go to the printer report and I have to tell you about the new pup. And so I don't time out, I'm just going to take a break for time. Okay, well, it was two weeks ago tomorrow that we picked up the pup and she is doing great. We're very thrilled with her. She'll be ten weeks old tomorrow. Her training is going really well. Yeah, some accidents, but you know, if we're vigilant about it and watch the body language, we usually can make it. So the nights are getting better and that's all good. So we've been just enjoying some time this week together and enjoying a new puppy. And I have to tell you that the puppy and Cairo are becoming very good friends and they play together very well most of the time and they actually seek each other out and look for each other.

Of course I heard the same thing down there. The big concert thing, band music festival type thing down in West Virginia a ham went to. And they line up. Oh there's another one. The Cleveland Browns.

But no, she was just always lost speed, anything that flew, she would just grab hold of. And she also reacted badly, so she would get stung in the tongue or the roof of the mouth and anything else and swell up. So yeah, we had to do a few visits very, very quickly, emergency visits because she's kind of not breathing too well and get some help there. I remember one time, I think Helen, I can't remember what it was, but I was on my own with Lulu and she grabbed a wasp and they bit it and everything else. I think I was at home, not at work because I had a sore back. And of course, Lulu then kind of reacted to this wasp sting and needed some vet attention, so I phoned the vet, he says, take her straight in. I says, I'm on my way. And I had this sore back, trying to get the stick and everything else and hobble out of the car, somehow get her into the car, drove down to Perth to the vet and as I kind of hobbled in with my stick with Lulu in tow on the lead, the vet said, who am I treating?

He's got a seven week block of classes coming up starting just in a couple of weeks time. But that will be fun. But the thing is, he's just not obedient. He knows everything. He can sit, he can stay, he can lie down. He can even heal. He comes round to heal very, very well. He can walk very nicely at heal and stay close and everything else. He does all these things, but only when he wants to. And the man will tell you, he's got so much energy. I don't know Paul. I'm just constantly tired these days.

I was seeing recently, somewhere in the US, I don't know why I'm not remembering where, but Kentucky or Georgia or somewhere, they saw, it's not a weasel, but it's something similar to a weasel, but with a longer tail, and they're very elusive. So anyway, there's lots of animals out there, Graham. It's hot, it's humid. It's slightly less hot and less humid than earlier in the summer, but it's kind of a scorcher out there still. And got a little bit of walking in earlier today, and got in on the Alaska net with Roy and some other folks while I was walking. But anyway, it was a chore to do that. But we're glad the young Odin's doing well. That will definitely keep y'all on the young side for sure, Graham, chasing after the pup. And Randall, a friend there, he'll check in later. He was putting a screen porch together, but his pup, we got in some bells. Robbie and I did the hang on the door. He's got a story about Meatball, his new pup. He might tell later. But anyway, the bells, that's always fun. Our dogs learn to use those. Let me take a pimp, and Robbie Ray can say a quick hi to everybody third party. OK, Y4NB and Robbie Ray returning, third party Robbie Ray. Hey, Graham. Hey, Helen. Just want to say hello. Hope you're going to have a good weekend. And yeah, we were thinking about those bells ringing in the middle of the night. When the dog wanted to go out in the middle of the night, but we appreciated the warning. And then that was Louie we had as a pup, and I taught him to ring those bells. But then when we got Wally, who was about four when we got him, he never did learn to ring those bells.

So maybe you'll get the CW. Bug there Carl, which I got. I only got the CW because of course here in the early 90s, I had the first call sign of Golf Mike 7, Mike Papa X-Ray. And I had to get the CW 12 minutes, sorry 12 words, 12 minutes of words.

I had that CW bug and most of my HF activity for the next couple of decades was all on CW. So there you go Carl, you might want to, maybe that's it. Maybe you've got the CW bug back on.

So you could have used MW or just picked up what you had but of course it's good that you probably used just what you had because the net logger pulled up all your details. If you wanted to use MW it's always good to put into qrz.com an alias so it kind of brings up all your information there as well. You can put an alias in MW and it says when in Wales so that brings it up. Anyway that's a buy on the side. Good to hear you Tom and let me say hello to Buddy as well your big fippet. We love our critters here Tom that's for sure. I think you were originally coming through the gateway that's done by a GW8SCL down in Newport South Wales. Coming up shortly he's going part 2 the control operators so there we go. But anyway Tom let me throw it back to you one more time before I move on. M7TJQ from GM0 here you be Tom. Congratulations once again and welcome to the amateur radio community and the nets. Listen there's so many wonderful nets to go and check into Tom Manold.

So, dumb me couldn't couldn't have a, what they call it a warm up of sorts with the best sticks that I've got in the house. And they were up at my friends. So I'm going to hand it back to you and let you get over to your over the mic there and let you get on about your way. GM0UUB, thanks for the net.

He had a bird in his mouth, and he's got a paw up trying to grab something else that was flying away. He said it was one of the most comical and unimaginable things he'd ever seen.

He catches a lot of mice, and he would just play with them, throw them up and around until they stopped running. So it's quite cool really, but it's because they're fed.

I've actually only been licensed on my foundation license for just under a month now. So I passed my license on the 14th of August and it was very exciting. I managed to get full marks, which isn't much on the foundation, but it was a good achievement. And yeah, I'm now studying for the intermediate. So yeah, I've been having a lot of fun. I was only introduced to amateur radio properly back mid-June. So not too long ago, where I met my local club, the Bishop Auckland Radio Amateurs Club up in the Shildon Railway Museum in the northeast of England. So the reason why I said I'm in Cardiff today, and please do correct me if I'm not right here, should I have added a W after my M? Maybe. I'm actually traveling. I'm from Cardiff originally. This is where I was born, capital city of Wales. I'm traveling to see family this weekend. So I was using a mobile unit in my car on the MB7ISN gateway, which is brilliant, based over in Newport. I'm in St. Melons. That colonial probably know that. But I haven't hardwired it in yet, so I'm just using the cigarette port for that. And my lights stayed on the entire time, daylight lights, and the neighbors weren't too happy. So I've moved over to Echo Link now, and it seems to be working well, hopefully. Hopefully you can hear me. But yeah, I've been having a lot of fun. This is my first net, so thank you for having me. I've enjoyed listening to all of your news. I've actually got a Whippet sat right next to me. He's quite a big one, so we call him a Whoppet. His name's Buddy, and he's a nice brown color. So yeah, here until Tuesday, and then on Wednesday, I start a new job up in Darlington with the National Health Service in IT. So I'm looking forward to that.

And like I say, I'm not a doggy person, not a cat person, but Tia decided that, nope, I like you. And she just kind of stuck to me like loo. And she would lie upside down in my arms and I'd carry Tia around like a little baby and everything else. So there we go. So that was kind of fun. She was a very sweet and gorgeous cat. But only because she chose me. So I don't really choose cats. I think that does make sense. Anyway, Bex, thanks so much. And honestly, Bex, I want to say thank you as well for posting up a nice picture of the three lovely dogs on the International Radio Network's Facebook page.

Well, tonight we're doing absolutely fantastically well. Tonight we've had a particularly good week here, I have to say.

That's great, from all the way from Alabama. He's been a regular check-in on our but for months we've been having this kind of countdown that he's coming across to Scotland to do a two-week tour and everything else. And of course we said, hey listen, we have to meet up. So tonight I was so, so delighted myself and Helen, Queen of Scotland, they met up with Greg and his wife Christy and his son, Kevin. Kevin? Yeah, one of his sons, Kevin. And honestly, they were wonderful, what a lovely, lovely people. I mean, listen, anybody on amateur radio, we're all lovely, aren't we? Anyway, no, absolutely brilliant. And we just met up with them yesterday in Stirling, in central Scotland. And they had teas and coffees and a few cakes and some sandwiches and this and that. And a good old kind of chin wag and a catch-up. And honestly, it was wonderful to meet them. They're a wonderful, wonderful bunch of people. And now they're heading up to the Isle of Skye. So hopefully the old Scottish midges are not going to be bothering them too much. But anyway, I think they're here until next Wednesday. So it's a two-week tour in Scotland and they did eat some haggis and everything else. So anyway, Jeanette, you know what it's like when you talk to people on the radio for months and months and they get to know them and then you meet them and have a wee eyeball. And it's just so magical. It really is. So that was Greg and his family from Alabama and heading back over the pond on Wednesday. So good luck to them just now. So with that said, so there we go.

Well of course people have heard this story before. But anyway, Helen was before we actually kind of got together and moved in together. We were actually talking some years ago, maybe a couple of decades ago. And she stayed in this house down in Alva. And over the back wall, the place where she stayed, she was the rear premises of a fish and chip shop. And that was very well attended by her black cat at the time, Salem. And he was a big cat. He was a lovely cat. He really was. But he was a great mouser and just a hunter. He was a great hunter. So I think the fish and chip shop liked to have him around because any kind of rodents that might be affected, he would catch them. So that was fine. But anyway, at some point Salem brought in this wee bird. And it was still alive. And Helen rescued it and spent days and days kind of nursing it and keeping it warm and cozy, giving it lots and lots of hugs and everything else until it was kind of strong enough to fly away by itself. So she went out to the back door and just said, hey, there we go. It's going to fly and fly. And it's going to be free again. And so it was, well, only for maybe a few meters because it flew over that back wall where of course Salem was sitting in the fish and chip back garden place and all the rest. And all Helen saw was this black paw, just a leg coming up and just grabbing that bird. And that was the end of the bird. So there we go. Helen nursed it back to Welly. And Salem did his thing. So I don't know. Hey listen, is that a sad story or a funny story? I'm not too sure. You can judge. Back to you Bex. M7KNO from GM0.

I think dogs choose you as well. But cats are very independent. Cats have slaves, dogs have masters. And the cats in my house rule the dogs. The dogs are very respectful of the cats. If they're not, they're likely to get their ears boxed. But you do find them all cuddled up together. Especially Ollie. He curls up with Chester. They have quite the bond. Almost as close as Ollie was with Max, our old lab. I think he misses him as well. They're both different animals obviously, but different personalities. But they all have their little quirks and give you so much love. And Ollie's one of these that lies on his back in your arms. And you can carry him around like a baby. He's a tart. But we love him.

So I suspect they'll probably be, I'm guessing maybe about two weeks before I'll see them. So, but anyway, I'll do a twofer with you there. I'll relay Shirley in. KJ5STP. Say hi to Dave. Oh, hi Dave, how are you? Yeah, we're just getting ready to head out here. Shirley's sister's, or brother-in-law is having a birthday celebration today. How old are you? Well, he's 85. He's 85, 1940 to 2025, 85 years old. And his brother, who's 18 years younger than him, celebrates his birthday next week. So we're doing a twofer birthday celebration tonight. So everything is twofer tonight. So Shirley got back from her trip to Santa Fe, as I was mentioning to you before, and told her about some of those little treats there. And the hagas, and I think if I'm pronouncing it correctly, she looked at the picture and she thought, well that looks pretty good until she zoomed in and she says, uh, wait a minute, what is this? And then she read the description and she said, you've just got to be kidding. How could anybody enjoy something like that? I said, well, you never know. You never know until you try. I don't even eat oysters. Yeah, she doesn't even eat what she just said, oysters. She'll eat mushrooms. She'll eat mushrooms. That's not even nearly the same. Not even close. They don't even look alike. What can you say, right? So what's new in your world over there? I heard you had some little cooler temperatures going out your way, huh? TI-5 WZ8, back with GW8FZL. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November... Yeah, KI5 WZ8 from GW8FZL. Hi to Shirley there as well, and thanks for the two fare. I got Kilo Juliet. Hi, Sierra Tango Papa on the log there in that net logger as well. And I hope you enjoyed your trip away there, Shirley. And the correct pronunciation is hagis. Hagis there, Keith. And as you know, I have actually eaten hagis. Even though I did know what it was made out of, what the ingredients were, I still went ahead and sampled it up there with Graham there in Marrow. It's gone very well at the visit last. And it's absolutely lovely. I really, really enjoyed it. And if I was up in Scotland, or it was readily available around here in South Wales, I would be having it on a regular basis. It's amazing though, you know, you think of what's actually gone into it, or goes into it, and individually they sound absolutely awful, horrible. Well, I've actually put together and cooked properly. It actually tastes really, really nice. Must be the chemical reaction between the ingredients. That's what I think anyway, but I really enjoy it. A lot of people, when they know what's in it, they won't even touch it. But if they have it first and don't know what's in it, this is really, really nice. And then a shock to find out what actually is in it that they've just been eating. But I enjoy it anyway. And as I said, after we've ordered some more, some Tinder haggis off of Amazon, I think they're a key. I've been doing a great deal, just the general bits and pieces around here.

It's 85 degrees, foxtrot as you say. So it's still pretty warm out. We usually out in this nether woods don't start really cooling down until probably the late part of September, early October. And then of course the evenings get a little cooler pretty quickly as what you have over there currently. So anyway, I don't think Shirley is ever, ever, ever going to ever even think to ever attempt to even think about taking a taste of that particular entree. So there's no chance in you know what that she's ever going to try it. Tell her what you make. Oh, she made shepherd's pie the other day out of beef ribeye. And she seasoned it really nicely. It was very, what was the word you used Shirley? Savory. Savory. That's what it was. Very savory with the mashed potatoes and all that. She put it in a pie crust shell and served it up as a kind of experimental thing. She just wanted to see how well she could do it since she's never made it before. And it turned out really, really good. She had to send some over to her sister so she could try it and she gave it three thumbs up. So that's good. Speaking about watching the timer, I'm looking at my screen display and watching the timer here. Two minutes and 29 seconds in. I'm really bad about catching the alligator here as of late.

One of them being the main radio for it, so I ended up replacing that as well. But hey, these things happen. Amateur radio is interesting.

Have you got a lot more on-air activity with that, handing out those hand-helds, a project there for new licensees, I wonder. Have you seen any benefits to it there on the RF side locally? V3XDB, TWHASRL. I think so. We've had more people on our nets, and we have a rag-chew on Thursday nights, and there seems to be a few more people kind of lurking around and saying hello, which is great. So, we actually just finished getting them out this week. So, the last of them went out yesterday, I think. So, I think we had something like 57 or 58 radios that are out, and I've gotten more requests. So, there may be more than that on the air over the coming month or so. But, yeah, it's gone really well. We had a little bit of a presentation on Tuesday night at the club meeting with an overview of the radio, and a few of UHF, VHF, and I think we had about 35 people in the room, and maybe not quite that many, but maybe 30 in the room. So, we had a little bit of a conversation, and a few, half dozen on Zoom. So, hopefully it will get some activity on the repeaters. So, that was a fun project.

Definitely want to take it out in the field someday and maybe try a fox hunt or something and see how it works out there. Also looking to upgrade SDR, software defined radio.

And yeah, there have been definitely fires in Canada all summer. And we've had some, right here in Oregon, we've had some pretty big fires too. There's been a big one in central Oregon that's been burning for weeks and weeks now. And was it somewhere in the southern? I don't know. If you look at the map on the astro-spheric and you bring up the smoke map as opposed to the cloud map, it looks like a tie-dye shirt, which is great when it's a shirt. But yeah, when it's a smoke map, you notice, yeah, don't even try setting up the telescope. And that's interesting too. I never could really get guiding to work very well, really much at all, with my Schmidt-Casse ingredient. And I finally realized the reason, you know, when I bought this refractor, I finally realized, oh, look at the difference here. The Schmidt-Casse ingredient has some really bad, bad vignetting. And the Texas Geiger that I was using, of course, is off at the edge of the field with this horrible vignetting. No wonder it kept losing the guide star. But with a guide scope, and I got a really nice big one too, all of a sudden things work so much better. But when you're watching the software, PHD2, there's a yellow line that shows what they call the signal-to-noise ratio on the guide stars. And then there's a red line, as you know, which is kind of like the aggregate air is all combined into one number called the RMS. And you see that yellow line as it gets lower and goes down as you see more smoke, you see the air go up. So it's just interesting to watch that. So if we ever have another really clear night, which we haven't had in a little while, when you have a really clear night, though, hey, you know, the air is getting down to about an arc second and it looks pretty good. So just going to have to be patient, I guess, and wait for all this smoke to go away. And there's so many things I want, targets I want to image. And yeah, just going to have to wait for the smoke to go away. Maybe I need to spend more time at the pump. I might do that this month. Thank you.

So he's had now, well, he's had three lessons with a professional driving instructor and he's doing really, really well. So he's got his fourth one now because he's back in school, the driving instructor is quite happy to actually do the lessons around his school timetable because now he's in year 13 over here. He got a staggered timetable, it's not the set time from start, let's say 9 a.m. and finish at 3 p.m. He got to go in further at the start of the day, but after his last lesson, he can come home and just got to sign himself out. So he's out of statutory education, the statutory education, he got to be there for the fixed period of time each day. So he's working with his driving instructor to get along around his school timetable, which is absolutely fantastic. And on his second lesson, he took his driving instructor because he was changing gear and without being asked to do so, he was going to change gear as a speed increase of the vehicle. And so the driving instructor, he decided to take him down a road, which is a road that students don't normally get to go down to and go further along, you know, with a lot more lessons. And it's rather bendy, it gets narrow, some of the bends are greater than 90 degrees, you come back on yourself. And Sue, my XYL, MW7-SDI, had never been that far down that particular road.

In the summer, we did a bulk order for handheld radios for dual band handhelds. We had about 50 of them ordered. At our club meeting this Tuesday, we did a presentation on VHF, UHF generally, and then how to use the radio. That created quite a bit of activity. Now, I think we'll get more orders for those radios. I was working on that today. On Wednesday night, probably about 2 a.m. your time Thursday morning, I was working Japan on 15 meters on FT8.

And obviously the more towards the Aberdeen that you start heading, obviously dropping down to the coast, it does drop quite steeply actually at certain points.

Yep, nope, that's right, well spotted there about Infra-During. Yeah, so much of it, it's great. So, quite a bit further north, but we're still down in Stirling on a regular basis. At the moment it's every two weeks, we come down for three days of the week and spend that looking after my mum. She's still in Stirling, she's enjoying life there. So yeah, we're travelling down on a regular basis, but as I say, it's a nice easy drive. Although it seems like such a long way, it really isn't. We generally get chatting in the car and by the time we finish a conversation, we arrive and you're thinking, are you ready? So yeah, it's all good fun, but we need to catch up with everybody. Graeme, if you're still listening, we will need to reach the catch up with you on one of our trips down again, because it's obviously been far too long. But there we go, yeah, all the best to Declan and it's a shame that it's such a challenge to find a driving instructor these days. You know, I don't know, is it that there are less instructors than there used to be? Or is it just a case of they're in so much dimmer home these days? Not sure. But yeah, I hope he continues to do well. Anyway, I better sign off at this point, Dave, because I've got a few things to do tomorrow morning, so you need to be up and helpful. I better not stay up too late on the radio, but it's been fun and nice catching up with you all again. So I'll wish you best to 73s and greetings to Sue as well. I hope she's doing well and we'll catch up with everyone soon. And greetings to everybody else across the various networks and looking forward to being back on air with you all a bit more.

If you have anyone hanging there with you, you know, another person that's curious about what you're doing on this radio, hey, third-party traffic is completely encouraged. Let them on. Turn them on to the radio. We encourage you to press that button. Tell us a little bit about what you're up to, like how's your cat? What did you cook for dinner today? Your radio projects, just about anything that is suitable for my grandma's ears. Oh wait, maybe a knife. No, not my grandma. Anyway, hey, let's limit the reports to three minutes each so we can get as many stations, you know, checking in as possible. This is also when the repeater times out, and you'll know it when that happens. Me, I've done that a lot, and I know what happens. When you finish the report, please end with your call sign so I'll know that you're done talking. That's kind of your way of saying over and out. It's kind of a legal thing to identify ourselves on a regular basis. I'll be compiling lists as I go of stations that want to check in, and then I'll ask for your reports. Like I said, your report can be anything you like. I'm actually going to propose a little icebreaker kind of thing for anyone who wants to pop in with something to say. Anyway, hey, I will make lists as we go. I don't even know why I asked for this script. I'm totally off of it. I'll make that list. If you want to just check in and let me know you're out there on the air and listening in but don't want to join us, just tell me you'll be in and out. I'll just say I-O because it works as well.

Although I was tempted to open a window today, try to get some fresh air in here, it wasn't very fresh. I ended up shutting that window once again because it smelled a lot like smoke, so I didn't want it creeping in here. And so I didn't really go out too much today because of the air quality the way it's been. At least it's not as thick as it was yesterday. Yesterday it was pretty orange. But at least it's starting to kind of thin out, but I'm sure we're not done yet because these fires and stuff, they take time to either A, corrupt or B, to burn out. So I guess all we can do is cross our fingers as to what kind of mission I didn't get into, which was none by the way. I did, however, get a nice message from KJ7RJL. He's apparently doing fine, both him and Kat and Critters. And of course I ended up getting asked, what did I do to the air quality? And I told him, well it has nothing to do with me, maybe it's a big Cheech and Chong event. For those of you who don't know who Cheech and Chong is, ask your parents. Otherwise, I got picked on a little bit, but you know, I threw the picking back. And we had a good time of it. I think Kat got a little bit out of it and asked him to eat his dinner. So we both had a good time talking to each other today via text. And so that was good. So they're doing fine, although they need to get on the radio more often. But you know, given time they probably will. Anyways, that's my report. I just wanted to come in and say hi. Hope everybody got a chuckle. KJ7RJL, back to net and no mischief."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-05T21:41:12+00:00","id":33284,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33283,"text":" I'm doing well. Probably everybody noticed the little bit of smoke we had around here today coming up from Oregon and California forest fires. Wind was obviously coming from the south. Air quality monitor at my place here in Shoreline, north of Seattle, read about 160 outside. And foolishly, I didn't realize it was going to be so smoky, I left one of my windows open and got the air quality inside copy about 85, which is not good. But the wind switched sometime early in the evening, and the sky's pretty much cleared up. And last time I checked my air quality monitor outside, it was down to 30 something, so much, much better. Hopefully we'll have some continued fresh air here. And everyone, make the most of your weekend. You may have permission to breathe again, KI7ZEI. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. Well, Tim, thank you very much for that information about the air quality. It's nice thing about the radio. It's not everyone, meaning myself and many others, have any way of measuring the air quality. And I can certainly see it tonight if anyone gets a chance to go outside and have a look at the moon. It's doing that usual seasonal thing at this time of the year. That is smoke season. And it's really beautifully orange. And yeah, it's nutty, this virus, I think, out in Yakima area, up in Leavenworth area, and in like a bear something area on the peninsula. Not far from Shelton, there's a lot of smoke too. Tim and I just had to cancel a trip out to visit some friends in Shelton over the weekend due to smoke. It's like, wow, when did this ever happen? Years ago, just within our memory, this started being part of the weather report. Nutty. Yeah, so everybody, we still probably have tons of N95s left from that plague we had there a little while back. So I'm going to wear one out. If I go outside, drive around tomorrow, I'm going to wear it. So keep that. I didn't quit smoking, so I could die of inhalation from a forest fire. W7DBB is me, and KJ7EXM is Sean.

This is Keena Aina Iyeche. Oh, I'm fine. I committed a fairly common act in the life of the calendar impaired. And this read my work schedule and thus trod on a colleague which I really hate it when I do that. And so that was embarrassing. But then I sat outside and played out in the middle of the block in Edmonds where the gallery is that I work at. And that was fun. And I made about average tips and that was good. And played a variety of things. Although there's something weird going on with my harp. I tune it up and then it drops in pitch just enough to be really strange. And at first it drops altogether so you can't really tell that it's out of tune. Then as the sun shines on it the bottom five strings start really going out of tune and that just gets frustrating. So I'm not quite sure. I've got to check and see if I set my tuner to A442 by mistake. Which would be, you know, I mean that I'm tuning it just a little higher than it's used to being tuned. 442 is what they use in Europe. In US we use A as 440 hertz. So anyway, and then I worked on some stories when I got home. And that's about it. My usual boring life. Anyway, 733-3388. Thanks to Louie for running the net. That's great.

And much of our smoke that we get around here, most of it comes from local fires. Although a couple of years ago we had a big bunch that had come down from Canada. Seattle is located west in between two mountain ranges, but mainly in between the Puget Sound and the Cascade region, the Salt Lake Mountains. And so when it burns in the west side, the east side of those mountains, Seattle really gets it hard. And now there's two going over there and one going to the west of us on the peninsula. So we're kind of getting boxed in. It's not nearly as bad yet as it has been in the past, but it's starting to become literally, like the southeast has their hurricane season. Honest to God, here in Seattle we have a, in western Washington I should say, we have a smoke season. And it's real. And it's really, it's nothing to stick lightly. It's because there's a lot of people with just very simple respiratory issues that really suffer for it. So I guess that's what's happening with my theory about the planet trying to rid itself of the parasitic human presence on it. It might just have a little bit of truth to it.

She was visiting a friend. I had some time off so I popped over there and spent an extra day. We played hide and go seek. It's a fun little game if you get on YouTube and you look up Jetlag the game hide and seek you will understand what we were playing. But yeah it was a good time. I had some pizza. Had a beer. And as far as east coast words I'm hearing my parlor. Anyways so back up in Boston after spending two days in New York just because I can. Because why not. And it's fun. It's been a while since I've been there. Made some new friends up there. I think he lives in the Bronx. But anyway I'm tired. I walked 20,000 steps today which is somewhere around 9 miles. So my feet hurt. I'm all sweaty. We're going to go hop in the shower and get ready for bed but I'm just unpacking and unfurling things and getting out laundry that I need to wash. Because tomorrow the name of the game is repacking everything. Running back to the airport and coming back home to Seattle. It's been a busy couple of days but hopefully I will be in RF territory soon. Lovely hearing you on here. I was surprised when I heard your voice. I thought you were checking in for a second.

I've got three pieces of business to talk about. Having a flat tire for the first time in, I don't know, 10 years on a short, short little ride we took with our bicycle friends on Labor Day and how I ended up calling my neighbor to come get me. And then we went back and got my car and transported the bicycle with the flat tire to the meeting place where the rest of us were having lunch. So that was a kind of adventure and today I think it's going to be a fix the flat tire so we'll be ready to ride next time. Second item, Dave will get a kick out of this, my son's transported his $700 sailboat, I mean it's a 38 foot sailboat, from Shaw Island to Port Townsend last week where it has been hauled out and the haul looks okay. He may be fixing the bottom paint but it's out of the water and sitting there looking very pretty. Thirdly, this is going to be good news, good news, good news. The other day, yesterday it was, yeah, I walked out of the house after putting some drops in my dead left ear and all of a sudden without any warning I started to be able to hear out of it. I'm like oh my gosh this ordeal that's been going on for a month of no hearing out of the left ear might be over. Well I wanted to follow the doctor's orders so in the back of this box it says squirt some warm water after you pick the drops. Well guess what, the minute I squirted water back in there it went back 85% dead. So I got on the phone with Swedish and I talked them into an appointment with this gal that worked with me this last Tuesday and by gosh she had a she had a open spot at two o'clock, 3 30 yesterday so my god maybe we can maybe it's getting loose maybe we can get rid of this thing and so I was in that his her chair for an hour."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-06T09:50:04+00:00","id":33398,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33397,"text":" Wow, Steve, that is awesome.

I've often wondered if I have something, maybe my ears are a little bit clogged, because sometimes when Dana tells me to do stuff, I can't hear anything. I just can't. So somehow, she's laughing, of course. But anyway, good stuff, Steve. Yeah, I remember you talking about this last weekend, and I'm glad to hear that it's finally resolved. Good stuff.

I said, I've got five minutes, it felt like ten. Anyway, she came back and we went back to work on this thing and she said, I don't know, maybe we're going to have to make a third appointment. And she kept working at it and all of a sudden she said, wait a minute, I think I've got it. She pulled out this piece, and I don't want to get too gory, especially for the people that don't like to talk about medical things. But imagine taking a normal pencil and just the top of the pencil by the eraser, maybe a half an inch. That's the size of this thing that she pulled out. And now I have 100% left here and all is well. And I am so happy. It took a month of fooling around from one doctor to another doctor before we got it out.

And from what I understand, she was a model starting at the age of 15, and she lived down in Longview, Washington in the most recent years. So she might still be with us, but yeah, there were some news articles about her not too long ago, and talking about her notoriety from peeing on the cover of the Herb Albert album, and I remember listening to that stuff, that music, when I was a kid on my dad's eight-track tapes, when we were on trips to cassette tapes even too, so good music.

Yeah, well, it started out as a sunny morning, but now it's clouded over. Yesterday we had a fabulous thunderstorm last night and got about a quarter of an inch of rain out of it, so that was good. Beats dry lightning, so yeah, we'll take it. We do have some fires around us that are adding some smoke to the area, but not too bad. They seem to have, are getting a handle on most of them and so not, nothing threatening us, so that's a good thing. And let's see, got a little shopping to do today, not too much, but do a quick run into town. And other than that, I'm not sure what we're going to do. I think Sam's into digging up the front flower bed and doing the bulb thing and all that stuff. So, and sort of like Jim and Jane, yeah, things are starting to cool down and yeah, it's looking like more and more like getting in the next week, things are turning into fall, so. Oh well, but that's alright. We were really hoping we could get some bocce in last night, but it was pouring down rain with the thunderstorm, so that didn't happen. And let's see what else is going on. That's about it for now. I don't know what we're doing tomorrow. I'd sure like to get out and look for some rocks somewhere, but some of the areas we want to go are still in fire danger and others are blocked because of the fire and can't get to them, so I don't know what we're going to do. Maybe go find a nice hike somewhere. We'll see what happens, see what the weather's doing too. So there you go. With that, I'll say 73. Thanks for doing the net.

So I was really excited to hear that Kami got that Tijuana Brass album with the whipped cream cover because a few months ago we were in Stanwood. I was with Kami and Robert and Andrew, KS7LNX. And we went to the, what is it? They had the ham fest up there. And afterwards we went to lunch. And after that we went to a thrift shop and I found a really nice copy of that album with the whipped cream cover for a buck. And I remember Kami was just looking at that thing. I could tell she was really jealous. Part of me almost wanted to just give it to her because I knew I could probably find one at a record store. I go to a lot of used record stores. But I don't usually see them, especially in that condition for a buck. So it was great. And yeah, so Herb Albert, so if you remember A&M Records, Herb Albert is the A in A&M Records which is like a big record company. Back in the day, I think it was Harry Moss was the A. So yeah, he, Herb Albert had a lot to do with getting a lot of people signed and into music. And I think Bert Bacharach was one of the people involved with, his music was on there. And Bert Bacharach, he wrote so many songs that were made famous by people like Dionne Warwick and The Carpenters. Yeah, so anyway, it's really cool that she found that album. It's just such a classic. I think everybody needs to have that. There's probably a list somewhere of like the 10 most iconic album covers.

So this week was kind of a drama with my car. So as I've mentioned on a couple other nets, on Sunday I drove over this sewer opening that was just slightly, they were excavating the street and it was sticking up out of the ground by about an inch and a half. And so it was right after this little drop in the road. So as I drove over it, the timing was perfect. It took out my oil pan on my car. So I lost all my oil. So after a couple days of, with Labor Day I had a couple days to think about it, I took my car to my mechanic and he said, yeah I've seen a lot of these, you've probably got about a 70% chance that your engine is okay. And so I paid the $830 to get it fixed. And so basically my car is working and it feels, I'd say it feels 95% okay. It's kind of hard to explain, there's something a little funny with it. So my engine wasn't completely destroyed. If you lose your oil, it's very easy, very quickly to just completely fry your engine. My car's got a lot of problems. My mechanic even said, don't bother putting any more money into this car than you have to, you're looking at between $4,000 or $5,000 worth of just stuff that's just going to, as he said I'm on borrowed time with that car, I've been very lucky. So it gives me time to find something else. And the other quick thing about it is, I am going to file a claim with the city of Shoreline over this. I went to Shoreline City Hall and I talked to them about what to do and I told them where the problem was. Well the next day or maybe even later that day, they covered it up. And after, in the spot where it happened, it was clear that there was at least one other car that had the same fate as mine because you could see the trail of oil going different directions.

We're all in the public square together and it's extremely diverse Not just in terms of technology and the modes that we use and all of that sort of stuff all the different like Subcultures within ham radio, but it's diverse in terms of who shows up to that public square And I think that's an amazing and powerful thing So that's what I'm gonna be I'm gonna get on my foot can you tell I'm gonna get on my soapbox today I'm super excited about it and who knows maybe we'll get some more people into ham radio, you know Burned out by the algorithm and want to get off the algorithm and they want to get on on the air I'm hoping that that's the I'm hoping that's the case"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-06T10:20:18+00:00","id":33419,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33418,"text":" CQ, CQ, CQ, this is Kilo Echo 2, Gulf Quebec, November."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-06T10:21:44+00:00","id":33420,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33419,"text":" Okay, we got three stations that time as well.

But it is cloudy in the awesome showers in the area popping up a bunch of them north of San Antonio especially down by the Gulf and there's a small one in our neighborhood so hopefully the rain will come in and help cool things off but of course it'll add to the humidity so that's a mixed lesson that's for sure. Oh yeah Jenny and I went to a nice football game last night. It was our first in-person football game of the year. Our local high school team and they did well so we're looking forward to it. It was homecoming too. I don't know why they do homecoming so early but they did. We went to the local homecoming game last night and we got some football games on tap for this weekend. First full weekend of all football. Yay. Ah question of the day. Let me, oh you know what I'll be set here."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-06T10:58:43+00:00","id":33430,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33429,"text":" Well thank you for helping WNIJAY.

The other Scott, the background Scott, has still got a ways to go. I'm doing what I can to help you out in the background here again today, Jeanette.

It's right around 60 degrees, cloudy today. Still dry, though it looks like it's threatening a little bit of drizzle. Just planning to do a little project with the hands in the area. Waiting for them to arrive. Let's see, things I forget. That's about everything. My phone, a smart watch because you have to charge these things now. And keys. I don't know how many times I hop in the car and it says keys not recognized. It didn't happen when you had to actually put it into the steering column. But for some reason with these keyless fobs, I forget them all the time. I just bought everything in shopping. If I don't make a list, I will always forget something. So I always make phone lists and then I share the note with my wife and she adds on. Hopefully we get everything. But if I shortcut or do not make a list, even if I'm going for two or three items, I'll forget one. So I always try to do that. But I think the most common, I'd say the car keys. I can't think of how many times I hop in the car and it says key not recognized and I have to go back in the house and find the fob. So it's a big one. Other than that, it's not too bad. I hope everyone is going to have a good weekend.

Well, anyway, but I'm glad that you talked to me. Well, you know, that you come back in. Well, anyway, I too forget a cane. Unfortunately, it's a little harder because my cane's white, you know.

And I did have to add that iWatch, the watch thing, that was a new category. I forgot to tell Jeff as well, thank you for that one. I've done that before, I've definitely done that. But I do like after I exercise, Jay if you're listening, pick your watch on your charger. Because that's where you lost some of your charge at is if you have that turned on then it's going to use it. If you're using it during Echo Link, so I've got different chargers around the house and I'll go stick it on the charger. And in 20 minutes it's charged, so it kind of keeps it charged up. So anyway thank you, we and the Brits are going to be running the ASC tomorrow for me. I say the Brits, that's going to be Miss Bex and her son Josh. I am going to be, well I should be there by the time the net starts but we'll be busy. So I'll have to listen to the recording. And okay KC7YFE you are next on the list but before I take you we are going to call for check ins. So you'll be the first one at the top. Alright this brings me to the end of the list.

There's still a lot of stuff to get out of the old house, but I've learned it's so hot in there without any air circulation and all that water that's trapped in there that I can spend more than about 20 to 30 minutes there at a time. So I just kind of do, instead of trying to do it all at once, I just kind of break it up and do a little bit every day, spend half an hour every day, make one run, and then find something else to do. So I think maybe I'll try to go walking, well, tomorrow, but we're supposed to have rain all day tomorrow, so pooey, maybe Monday.

The lease can be extended month to month. It's expiration in the middle of August next year but the person that owns it is an investor. It's for rental purposes so he's not interested in selling it. We've made contact with him and asked him that. So that's fine. So we are going to be looking for another place or to rebuild our old house. We're not sure yet. We're still waiting on an answer from the power provider that's responsible for the fire. And they did come out and talk to my neighbor a week ago today, last Saturday of all things. I wouldn't expect the claims department to be working on a Saturday. I always thought they were a Monday through Friday 9 to 5 bunch but they showed up on Saturday and asked her a bunch of questions and told her they'd approve a hotel for her. How nice of them to do that six weeks after the fire. Yeah, that's the kind of nice folks they are. Anyway, they have not responded to me so that tells me I'm going to have my attorney friend send him a letter on his letterhead and see if we can't start some negotiations taking place here because it's become apparent they're not going to respond to my claim without a little nudging from the legal side.

But I've been wearing these Skechers slip on shoes. But still I bring my bedroom slippers. Occasionally I'll forget and I just walk around barefoot like the rest of them in my socks.

We don't walk on the floors because they're hard and I don't know. We just don't do it. We both wear a house, well they're flip flops. But that's what I wear. So yeah. And I have tons of pairs. But I did make a category for that. And another thing was that Dale had mentioned coffee. And I know my husband will make a cup of coffee and they'll walk out the door and forget it too and it'll be cold. And I'll have to pour it out. But yeah, your glasses, the cheaters. I put that down.

If it is, it's only got a couple hundred people, but northwest of Sealy, about maybe 12 miles or so. And so that repeater is down, but I don't have a workbench or anything to work on or prepare another repeater to put in out there. So I've got a computer desk coming here that's going to be delivered today and get that put together, and that will give me at least a bench or something to do some work on to try to get that repeater back on the air. So I appreciate the folks that use that repeater standing by to try to get something together here to put back out there to replace the one that's malfunctioning or dead or whatever it is.

Also we do have other nets with Fireside. I don't know if you've downloaded Echo Link yet. I'll talk about that in a minute. Fireside is another network. F-I-R-E-S-I-D-E-N radio. Fireside radio dot org. That's another website you can check out. That gentleman does run the Absolutetech net as well. Also if you haven't signed up for QRS yet, they give away a radio called the Jump Start Program. The radio is like $21. It's made by Giga Parts.

My sister dialed that in and it's kind of in a remote area, probably off of a cliff, but she brought that with her to Scotland and if there anywhere near that she'll send me a photo of my prestigious real estate.

I was hiking home when I checked in and now I'm home on my nose sitting on my back porch petting the cat. Anyhow, just got home from church and the weather, like the times, the weather is changing here in Portland and we were having hot and sunny and air conditioner and now we're having kind of cloudy, feeling a little on the rainy side. Oh man, I got to say, it's kind of depressing and the weather changes like that. If you're in a crummy mood, you might just because of the change in the weather. Anyway, question of the day, before I leave the house I kind of have this little mental checklist, pat down thing I go through. Got my wallet, got my keys, got my phone, got my hat on sunblock, all those kind of things. But you know the one thing that I sometimes tend to forget lately is my radio and I'll be out going, that's weird, I have a radio on my side. I feel kind of weird without a radio on my belt when I'm out. But you know these things just kind of happen. Or maybe some other things we don't need to go into on the air right now. Anyway, that's kind of it for me. The less often you forget stuff when you leave the house, the better off you usually are. Back to you, KI7PKL. KI7PKL, you know what Roy, you're 200% right about that. You really didn't even need it. You only missed it for a few seconds and then you just kind of regroup and go on don't we? So whether it's your phone, unless it's something you can't get by without, you know. So during that short time that you're going to be away usually or whatever, I mean you know it's good for you. Next time you won't forget it, you'll be like you do and run over what you got, make sure you have everything so it don't happen. Thank you Roy and don't forget check in with Roy on Fridays.

We have been putting our new repair in up here. And it is not funny but we had some problems we were going to do with the setup. And one of the other guys and I went up there and we did a dallis the other day. And so I let him in before we came. He is the one, he has a club that he uses for the Wild Nut. He worked with us on this and he and I worked on the repeater last year and we were going to put the new repeater in which we have a new repeater. So we deployed a program that never could get anybody to decide what they wanted to do and no one to go. I did not. Anyway, the other one blew up the other day. And so we did all that work on the site. He went up there the other day and he brought it up and we hooked it up and the idea is to shut down and come back on. And we think maybe the power supply went to the same problem that killed the other one. So he sent it back to the agency because we are hoping it is still under the warmth because it is not been used even though we had it for a while. It was quite a few repeaters under the bell up there. So several of the agencies I think four or five. So I think maybe four or five. So we decided to figure out what killed it. Usually smell it. It is burning inside. So we will see what happens with it. Anyway, we have a repeater over here in the day. And we are using the W4GTA repeater. And I know you checked in on that one. That is the one that was available there to check in. And for a while I was calling it and I got sick and couldn't do it anymore. So I have it. I actually offered to start doing it again. But I will ask them if they want me to. And I know it is a load on image to do all he does and get in and call it in one of the next two. So I am ready to put up my hand and get into the repeater over there. So he has let us use the repeater on Thursday nights when we do our period for about an hour. So I call the areas. Anyway, I think that is what happened. So it is a really good job. I mean, you know, I don't blame anybody. Everybody is mad at us because we are slow to move. But he does. He will go do it. He will help us out. So he always has. So if I don't mind helping him, I will give you the repeater. That is the place to go. It takes about a minute. There is a place called high point on look out mountain. And it is the highest point on look out mountain. You drive up a dirt road for I don't know, 20, 30 minutes. You get up there. You have to walk. You can get to where the equipment is because there is actually a commercial station in there too. But to get up to the antenna, you have to climb up there. And it is not fun. It is a view when you get up there. Ours is right down on gravel road.

It's not even a real key, it's just a card you have to put in your pocket and you go out and press a button in the car and it opens and you're pressing the button and you're wondering why it's not working and then of course you realize you've left the key card in the house. I've left all sorts of things. Sometimes I leave behind as well just the memory of where I'm meant to be going. You sit in the car and you get out the driveway and you start wandering down the road and you think where am I going again? So yeah, maybe that's just getting to some kind of stage but never mind. Anyway, Jeanette, thanks for doing the night. I'm not long back home actually so glad I managed to check into the night today. Today actually is our anniversary for myself for the night like 7th of Helen Queen of Scotland. So we didn't do anything to address that out there. We just went to our favorite fish and chips shop there, Carryout along in Dalgate and ate the fish and chips and everything else. Of course we had a puppy Odin with us and we went down to the beach and we just watched the sailing ships go by and a big cruise ship going by and ate the fish and chips and that was really lovely.

Bunch of different things going on, good to hear about them from all the different folks out there in Radio Land. Hi everyone. Today I'm cooking an 8.5 pound shoulder bone-in pork shoulder in the toaster oven. That's not as crazy as it might sound at first. The toaster oven is an air fryer, sits on the counter, it's much bigger than a normal toaster oven. But it's functionally like that, a countertop oven. And so we're at 275 as the setting and we're shooting for an internal temperature. Well, it's a multi-step process, we'll turn it up later with some sauce on it. Right now it was just dry rubbed for a couple of hours before throwing it in to serve it tonight. I hope it works out well. I'm going to throw in some short ribs later on too when it's closer to done time. Also moving furniture around and I'm going to go out and run some errands. But at this point I'm trying to get my monstera settled in her new location. Just transplanted her to an 18 inch diameter pot.

This is Dean KG 7 ODB. Yeah, I look forward to seeing your presentation, your educational presentation as they call it. I might be doing one probably earlier next year about Parks on the Air. So I've been emailing back and forth with Brooks about that. I just need to kind of get my...I have a number of different ideas on how I want to do it. So that should be a lot of fun. I'm on here and other people like Mike and Seven URH and even you will talk about doing Parks on the Air and PODA. A lot of people don't know all the inner workings of it. So I'd like to go over the website, how it works, how the whole system works and then some of the finer points of doing an activation. So other than that, Paul, K7, PJP, his comments were very interesting about hearing a song that someone had basically remixed and altered the vocals. Even just adding processing like compression or reverb can just ruin the sound of the original recording. I mean a lot of recordings, especially ones done many years ago, just have a particular sound to it. I don't know if the one he was talking about was something that was created by a fan made remix or if it was an actual release by the record company. More and more you're hearing official releases where they're going through and you're now able to take on a recording, take some stereo or break it into all different instruments and remix them and it doesn't always work. It's more designed for people with modern, who listen to music in modern ways like with air pods or sound bars and things like that. It's not meant for old people like me who have wooden speakers, like a pair of speakers. So anyway, I could go on and on about it, but I won't.

Wow, what a great day, not as hot, it's a little bit cooler, we had a little bit of sprinkling here in the organic garden out back. I'm now back in the shack here. Yeah, I've just got a couple of really awesome things that are coming up. One of them being a couple of different type of rain or shine nets. And the first one is September 27, it's being hosted by our friends over at the Lake Washington Ham Radio Club at Wilmot Gateway Park. So I really, really want to make this one because it's going to be their last one of the season. We've got another one or maybe even two coming up for sure, but the Wilmot Gateway Park is a really cool park. That is September 27, the Lake Washington Club runs from about 9 to 12, 30 or so. So I encourage everybody to go out and check that out. And let's see, so in October we are going to be doing the next rain or shine net with pumpkin carving down at Gasworks Park. I don't have the date yet, but I'll get back for everybody. It's going to be as close to Halloween as possible, so it can't be on Halloween if it's a weekday. But hey, no big deal there. Great to hear everyone. Like I said, I also have a couple other things real quick. And that is, hi James, hi Matt, hi Pete, and hi Rich. Rich is working on a really interesting thing, he'll tell you about that. It's just amazing. And Pete, I called Pete, left him a message saying, Pete I've heard from you for a while. Hey what's going on? Look here he's coming up in the queue. Yeah I saw something in one of the online ads for this new Benchmade EDC Everyday Carry Pocket Knife. Oh, this thing is a work of art. At $325, a little bit out of my price range. But Pete and I like to talk about such things sometimes. So anyway, great to hear from him as well. Alright Kirk, I'm going to hand it back to you. Oh yeah, one more thing. You know Sean out of Ballarat, Australia, in Victoria, Australia, VK3KK? Well November 5 is VK3KK Day. I now pronounce that, I've done that a couple of times. He's going to be here in town and hope to spend some time with him on that day. And we'll get some more information out on that and all these other great things. Kirk, great job. Nice to hear you.

My presentation will be really short. I don't expect it to be too long. Now I could begin talking about the architecture of my program that used for SSPD. And that would take forever. I don't know. I would check out the boat festival. I don't think I've ever been to it when they're actually showing. I've been there when the wooden boats are here and there, out there in the end. But I've never actually been to the festival. So I would be very tempted to go. So either way, have fun. It sounded like to me you were going to take Leo to a birthday party.

And then one day I went and I took it and it was like drinking a soft drink or something, it was so sweet and I asked them and said yeah we changed the formulation and I never had a mocha again. Mochas are just too sweet for me in general. So maybe a no-scooter mocha, maybe that's some kind of artificial sweetener that's in there but it's actually simply no sugar, that would be really an interesting thing to try. I wonder if you could even get it that way, I'm going to have to ask. I did love mochas, you know Vietnamese coffee tastes chocolaty to me and that stuff's got plenty of caffeine to make up for the sugar but I wouldn't mind trying a mocha so you got me thinking about that. Good luck for staying in the 34-inch cheese, I too am working on that. I'm almost back to the same way I was two years ago, took a little bit of effort but I got it. Have to eat less bread, you know here we are talking about sourdough bread and I'm just like oh I would love that but no I can't have that on a regular basis but you know once in a while if I'm out and about I'll definitely have some. And let's see here, oh yeah enjoy the bike ride, we're going to do that this week, I'm committed to having a bike ride this week. We wanted to do it, I fixed my wife's tire on her bike, we're ready to go so hopefully we'll get out there too. So enjoy your ride somewhere around Lacey it sounds like. Alrighty, let me drop a moment. Next up is KK7MZW, Brian how are you? Hey I'm doing good, I've been on and off the net, I had a week off on a cruise in Alaska and I haven't gotten back up to my usual net schedule so I'm trying to check in more often. Speaking of things that taste like mocha, have you ever tried Kona coffee, to me that tastes very chocolatey and I would almost say that it's a near substitute for a mocha for my taste and you could try that unsweetened. Also I heard some talk about being careful on the roof, I was actually planning to go on the roof today to replace an antenna cable, I called it off because it started raining here in Kirkland, we had a little rain shower and it didn't exactly take me by surprise, I saw it in the forecast but I didn't think it was going to be as substantial as it was so hopefully that's clearing away some of the ash we got overnight. The wildfire down near Mount Rainier deposited rather a good heap of ash on top of our cars in the driveway, I haven't seen that for a couple of years and I think it was pretty localized, Cliff Max's blog, he's an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington posts a blog, he talked about being kind of localized to North Seattle and Kirkland. Anyway, yeah, check it out if you're interested in how that all works. So yeah, take the rest of the day easy, maybe you're going to go do that antenna thing later after the sun clears and we get some drying out.

Connectures SNA versus BNC. You know, I grew up with BNC. You know, I think all my handhelds were BNC and they were handy because it was common, quick to change. But you will admit that it's got a bigger lever arm on the, where it's not even the case around the board. And a lot of these things are not case mounted, but rather mounted on the trigger board. So this may is a little risk for that. I think they're safer than how they were mounted on the board itself. Danny Wright and Tim talked about, go to Amazon, find the kit and get, you know, there's four versions. We think of male, female being whether it's a threaded and outside or a threaded and inside. And that's not it. There's male and female versions for each of those. It's which one has a little pin versus the socket for the pin to go in. That's the way you determine which SNA you have. And I think the SNA stands for small, mighty angled crooked something. But yeah, we're stuck with it. And it is frustrating how the thing in the brand radio what you need. And it's all the same. And last night driving back from the fair out in North Seattle, I would call the moon the Smokey Gouda Moon. That was my description of it. It seems bulky down there. And just now I left North.

So we'll see how that goes. And let's see here. Oh, and Sean will be in the area. Funny, I thought I heard about that earlier. On November 5, you're saying, wow, OK, well, give them my regards. That's just amazing you're able to see. Sometimes when I'm in Las Vegas, I know there's a few operators I've heard here and there, like, oh, I'd like to go stop and talk to them. One time I was in Sedona. And Sedona, that's the place. And I saw this antenna. And I looked them up on QRZ. And I wrote to them. So I had this beautiful antenna. And I said, looks like a mop's on. He says, no, it was a stapper. But at any rate, that was a lot of fun saying hi, at least by a male in passing by. Anyway, Jack, good to hear from you. And enjoy the gardening it sounds like you're doing. And have a good rest of your weekend. All righty, next up is N3QPK Pete.

Before that, it's a balmy 64 here outside Detroit. In a few minutes I'm going to go up on a ladder and see if I can raise the dual band antenna. I have up another 10 or 15 feet. The guy wire is running to it and at least today maybe get the two rearward ones a little tensioned so I can get the antenna back to pointing through 90 degrees to the ground there. Right now it's drooping about 30 degrees. I'm just using some 1 1-16 inch cable since the antenna doesn't really have much of a wind load. I don't think I have to worry about that.

Um, okay, so right now I'm on I-5 North, uh, just north of Federal Way, heading towards South Center, probably about where I was this morning when I checked in on the morning, yeah. Anyway, yeah, there was a little bit of rain, um, down towards Tacoma when I was driving down there, about, oh, I don't know, 1030 or so. And I'm on my way back, was going to help a friend get a RV registered. They, uh, picked up a screaming deal on this RV. It was like a 1989, uh, medium-sized thing, really nice, except, um, dead batteries. And, uh, they needed to get the car ri- thing registered. So, I went down there to help them. They go in there with the, uh, with the registration, which is fine, except they don't have the title. And without the title, you can't do much of anything, except they did get a 30-day permit. So, I guess that buys them a little bit of time while they try to figure out how the heck to get a title, which I don't think, well, it's not going to be easy because, uh, the party that owned the vehicle before is deceased, and their son has moved out of the state. So, that's going to be kind of a mess. Anyway, it's a beautiful day, 69 degrees, and, um, uh, I like this weather just fine. There was enough wind. The wind's actually coming a little bit from the south now, so I'm surprised we don't have more of the smoke back again, uh, when the other night from the north really cleaned things out nicely. Anyway, I'll stop babbling. I do have some of the Messama connectors. If I knew where Matt was, I'd probably get him a connector, but I'm sure Jack's going to take care of that. Anyway, handy things to have in your toolbox, SMA male to male, male to female, etc., etc., etc., and so many connectors. And I get confused. Normally, I don't get confused about sexes, but I get confused a little bit about the other connectors, male and female. So, I got a good collection of every possible one on every configuration, just so I'll never be left empty-handed.

Autumn something or other. Anyway, they flower very close to autumn time. And so those guys are doing their thing. And we have some dahlias this year, which are blooming now. And that's really great, because our garden's pretty much finished blooming. But the dahlias are blooming. And so I'm like, oh, we need to make sure we have those in our garden every time. So those have got to dig up their roots. Don't let them freeze. And so that might be a little bit of a challenge. But at any rate, pretty exciting that autumn is on its way. And I have to say, wait for the beak. Because sometimes I blather on too long. And if you come in right after me, I will have consumed a minute or two of your own time. And so waiting for the beak is the safe thing to do. Sometimes I just say, hold up. I'm going to let it drop. All righty. Good to hear from you. And yeah, I got a hold of Jack. He wants to hear from you. Next up is KJ7WQI. Matt, how are you? Well, hey there, Kirk. You've got me with a mouthful of noodles here. Anyways, just made some lunch. Getting the house all cleaned up and buttoned up for me to be gone for a couple of days. I was going to try and fly out tonight. But the Alaska flight that would take me over only has five open seats. And I just know they're all middle seats. And then tomorrow morning, JetBlue has 40 open seats. I could probably get a row to myself, stretch out a little bit, a little more comfortable. So I'm going to be flying over tomorrow, leaving here at 7 AM. Getting in probably just a little before the noon net. Might miss the 9 AM net. But I should be in town soon. So that'll be fun. I do, if Jack is still out there, I was hoping to borrow that connector from you for a couple of days. I'm leaving on the 10th again, so I can probably get that back to you on my way to the airport. But if I could, I'll text you or message you or something to see if I can get a hold of that. Because I want to test out the cable that I have at the house and see if my radio can even handle transmitting down that cable to an antenna. I want to start poking around and seeing where I can put the antenna up on the house. Baron Edmonds and hopefully get that installed with the permission of the owners of the house, AKA my parents. So anyways, I'll throw it back to you there, Kirk. Thanks for having that.

And I can imagine, yes, less of a torque going on and a bit of electronics. So the smaller connector would be safer. But yeah, such a pain in the rear. And oh, sorry to hear that you weren't getting too many visitors at the Museum of Flight at the Puyallup Fair. That's interesting. I have no idea how well the Puyallup Fair is doing. I haven't seen any news on that, so I have to do a little bit of searching to see what's going on there. At any rate, drive safe when you're out there. I didn't know you were mobile, or I'd have taken you as well sooner. But it turned out fine, since you're both mobile. At any rate, your smoke a good o' moon makes me want to go and have some cheese and crackers. And you're making me hungry. I might just do that after the net. We'll see. All righty, let's see. That's the end of that. It was a very short list, because they were both mobile. But I'm ready to take other operators.

So yeah so they actually had some snow in parts of Tasmania especially at the higher elevations and they've also had some wintry blasts that brought snow to the Victorian Highland County and that was at the end of August moving into early September."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-06T18:45:44+00:00","id":33674,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33673,"text":" And I'm going to pause here for a sec.

So they've had some wild weather swings in a few different areas. They've had up and down since it is their winter into spring season now and they'll eventually be moving into summer. And the dominant feature they've had has been winds. They've had really strong winds affecting much of the country. In Wellington and Wariropa, the capital region, they experienced a storm and they had winds with this storm of 137 kilometres an hour and it actually forced the closure of State Highway number 2. So that was an interesting event there.

On September 6th parts of Western Australia they had their highest daily rainfall in years. Windy Harbor they saw their highest daily rainfall in four years and Perth reported 38 millimeters of rain which is actually its wettest September in over 25 years. And the rain has been widespread across six different districts and that's good I guess since it's fairly dry over there. And other parts of Australia, southeastern Australia, they had some unseasonably warm weather that spread across the southeast and parts of the country and that actually provided for a very nice warm weekend, a warmest weekend so far. And they had some temperature records. Melbourne and Canberra they had highs in the low 20s. Melbourne's high of 21 Celsius on Sunday was its warmest weekend day since May and Canberra reached 22 Celsius on Sunday as well.

If you remember, there was a lot of focus on the NIST after September 11th where they basically reconstructed everything that happened with the World Trade Center buildings. Nothing to do with that in this case. What they did was they basically investigated the devastation that was caused by Hurricane Maria which was a category 4 storm that hit Puerto Rico in September 2017. And I'll just give you a little bit of information to refresh you. Let me cycle it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-06T19:06:35+00:00","id":33697,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33696,"text":" And here's something interesting and different. I'm almost done with the weather and Ken will take over in a minute. But there was a new study that was published in Nature and what they did is they used satellite imagery to reveal that Earth's seasons are not as synchronized as previously thought. The study basically found hot spots of seasonal asynchrony, which are areas where the timing of seasonal cycles is out of sync between nearby locations. And the research, which they did, analyzed 20 years of satellite data and it found surprising patterns in regions like the Mediterranean and tropical mountains. And the authors of the study suggest that the seasonal asynchrony might be a factor that contributes to the biodiversity in these regions. So as things are basically out of sync, these out of sync cycles, they could lead to genetic divergence and the formation of new species over time. And it's interesting because these findings have the potential implications for a wide range of fields, including animal migration, the effects of climate change and even agriculture. So the study's map was able to accurately predict the complex geography of coffee harvests in Colombia, which was interesting because that demonstrated its practical use. So that was an interesting study and they made use of good satellite data from the past 20 years. And we always know that seasons aren't always that asynchronous. Some areas, for example, they'll see their coldest temperatures at the start of what we would define as the winter and other places will see it at the end. You think that, oh, the middle of winter is the coldest, but that varies by location. But what this study has basically looked at is said that it's even more divergent than we would have thought. And it's important because in desert climates, in high deserts, you'll have desert animals that are at regular elevation deserts further north. But you'll have these pockets develop where, for whatever reason, the animals may not be able to migrate or their incubation period has changed because of the climate. And the idea is that this could lead to differences within those animals locally, right? So you have a different localized group of these animals reacting differently than you would in other places. And again, we see this with animals that you'd find at high elevations in Mexico that you find at low elevations in places like the Okanagan.

You'll have really large events, again like Katrina, because they have a lot of standing water in that case. It was a little different when Appalachia got hit with Helens. You had a lot of water and that led to landslides, but you didn't have a ton of standing water because that terrain, it actually drains, right? That area drains relatively well. It causes devastation, but the water eventually does leave. So because it's so dependent on geography and it's dependent on the storm itself, if you hear panting it's my dog, he's excited, it's very region specific, right? As far as bringing in foreign, let's say creatures or pests, I don't know if there is anything that's particularly looking at that. Everything so far is basically looking at water contamination. So how much animal waste and other pollutants are you getting into flood water and how is that affecting drinking water and the spread of waterborne diseases. And then of course stagnant water which is left behind. And then population displacement where you force people to live in a crowded area, that's a change. And then of course environmental changes where the storms basically, they alter the environment in some way that could expose people to pathogens that otherwise are hidden away in soil and mud and mold. And of course mold is one of the bigger problems people realize that typically if you lose power you can get mold in a humid environment and if you have water that makes its way into your home you're guaranteed mold if you don't deal with it immediately, right? But in terms of anything major, there's nothing off the top my head Ken where we're seeing some sort of egress or anything that's fundamentally massive.

The vast majority of these casualties happened after the hurricane had passed through. So they were indirectly the result of the storm. So they were due to people having complications from the storm taking out power, water, medical supplies, etc. So the recommendations from the NIST were, not surprisingly, to improve building standards, enhancing the protocols for handling evacuees, ensuring that essential facilities like hospitals have reliable backup power. And it also found that having pre-established emergency plans and risk mitigation funds allowed some facilities to resume operations more quickly. And it believes that, the report believes that these changes are considered vital for all hurricane prone regions in the US.

So there are a few different agencies globally. One that I can recall off the top my head of course is the CDC, which everybody knows what that is, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. So the CDC has been tracking storms and one of the ones that they were looking at was Hurricane Katrina, which if you remember that was when Houston flooded, it was a slow-moving storm that stalled out and it was basically you had a whole bunch of waterborne diseases. But they'll look at, so various organizations have looked at these diseases. One of the big earthquakes are one of the worst ones for diseases just because of the fact you'll have people who are deceased under the, not just people, people, animals, all this sort of stuff, that are deceased within the rubble and water mains, water line breaks, that sort of stuff.

After going through Dominica it lost a bit of its intensity and it dropped down to a category 4. And on September 20th the Ida storm made landfall again in Puerto Rico near Yabuca. And it had maximum winds of 155 miles an hour, that's 250 kilometers an hour. And eventually the storm moved northwest across Puerto Rico and it went back into the Atlantic.

Computer models are now indicating that molecules can have what's referred to as molecular dipoles. And molecular dipoles, that's... Molecules can have both a positive and negative charge regions on them. So the overall polarity points in one direction. However, with this new research, what they've found here now is that water went free. Molecules, they form into a crystal lattice structure. So when you step on ice, the orientation of the dipole in the shoe or skate, and those in the ice, changes. So they become disordered. So the force between the skate and the ice produces a disordered state where the liquid forms. So it's not necessarily from the pressure itself. It's that the pressure is producing these... The dipoles are going to a disordered state. The charges get all disordered. And the lattice work breaks down a bit and produces ice.

So these diseases were present in the environment but the environmental conditions changed and became incredibly favourable for them. And then of course in Peru people had the exposure to it with the flooding conditions, you know, walking through water and then boom, you had leptospirosis and dengue fever coming out. So that's often what happens. Now like what you're mentioning with warming climate and insects and birds and whatever migrating to different areas, that's certainly something that we've seen. We've seen it with ticks over wintering in Ontario here. You know, the tick season used to be 8 months out of the year, now it's 12 months out of the year. Ticks can bite you at any time of the season here. And we saw Lyme disease migrate all over the place from Connecticut.

And scientists from a hospital for sick children, preferred to a sick kid, in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, found a genetic link between autism spectrum disorders, ASD, I'll just refer to it as ASD, and a rare genetic condition, both by a chronic dystrophy, type one, the DM1, so I'll just refer to that as DM1. And the study was published in Nature Neuroscience, and it suggests that while ASD has previously been characterized by loss of teen function, another mechanism may be leading to the symptoms often associated and observed in individuals with ASD.

It was discovered that there's a DDX53 gene, this is located on the X chromosome, which found to play a role in the development and functioning of the brain, but was not previously and definitively associated with autism. So they tested ten individuals with autism spectrum disorder and discovered that the DDX53 variants were maternally inherited and present in these people. Most were male. And this signifies the gene's possible role in male predominance seen in autism spectrum disorder. I think autism affects more males than those females. On the same X chromosome, scientists found evidence of another gene, PTCHD1AS, that could be involved in autism. A study showed that a male and his mother, both with autism, had a specific gene deletion with a DDX53 in some parts of the PTCHD1AS. So the reason I brought this up about the autism tonight, there's many, many aspects of what lies behind autism and not just one specific thing.

Anyway, just got done watching a couple of movies, they were both Tammy picks and I was very impressed with both of them, they were really good. One of them was subtitles, I usually have a hard time following subtitled movies but I did okay on this one, it was pretty good. I'll let her explain what the titles were because I don't remember, I may or may not have some adult beverages. Yeah, anyway, it's been a pretty good day. We went to the Allied Coffee and Swap Meets gathering and I picked up three of the Rough Country MLC6 multi-light control switch boxes. So they have six switches and they are kind of remote mount relay boxes, kind of like my Switch Pro units but they are not solid state. I picked them up for different reasons, one of them I need to clean up the wiring in my red jeep and I think I can use the six switches I already have in my dash. This will give me a nice clean box to do the relay pack in versus just the relay stuck to my dashboard. I'm going to put one of them in Tammy's truck, again just the relay box under the hood. I think that will work great to control the RGB rock lights that I have for her as well as her fog lights and a few other items that I've added using aftermarket in-dash switches. Both of them I won't be using the actual switch bank they come with, I'll be using my own switches. But I will have a third one available for a pretty good price to help again recoup my purchase of all three of them. That's my name for the game and I can get my secret out, I shouldn't have done that. The next one needs a switch pack, a six switch pack. Pretty universal, I think he comes with not any brackets for a jeep but I could be mistaken. So hit me up and let me know. Just having a great evening here, kind of relaxing around the house after doing that. We did a little bit of grocery shopping and then we came home. Tomorrow we have the net and hopefully we'll get out in the garage and do some work in preparation for the estate that I'm picking up in a couple weeks. So I've got to get a truck rented out and on schedule and confirm with the nice lady over in Gig Harbor what's going on. And yeah, I think it's my bedtime, I'm getting a little jowzy. I think I'll hand it back to you my friends, thanks for doing what you do, very much appreciate you and I hope everyone is having a fantastic day. This is KJ7JXM Roberts, handing it back to you my friends. Robert, thank you so much for that interesting report. It is always fascinating what you do to your truck and Cammie's truck and how you keep it and the neighborhood well lit I must say, that's great.

I'm doing great, thank you, and hope you're well tonight. Radio waves to Rich if he's out there somewhere. We had a really nice day today. So some back story, my wife's family hosted an exchange student from Japan named Megumi. She said five times over the course of her childhood. She came back and stayed with them. She was a student at Bellevue College. So the first time that she came to the U.S., my wife was five years old. I think the last time she'd been here was when my wife was maybe 12 or 13. So today we got to connect with her, for my wife, reconnect with her and meet her for the first time. She is visiting here with her two college-aged children. So they've been staying with my wife's parents the last few days down in Olympia and seeing the South Sound area and stuff like that. And then they came up to Kirkland today and hung out with us. And we spent the afternoon at Juanita Beach and we got fish and chips over at Spuds and just hung out and kind of walked in the park and stuff. And then came back to our place and did a little gift exchange and all that. It was a really nice time meeting them and just hanging out. So tomorrow is going to be more fun. We are renting an electric boat. I think it's called the Lake Union Electric Boat Company or something like that. We have rented boats from them several times over the years. And it's super fun and a really well-run operation. So we are taking Megumi and her kids out on an electric boat with my in-laws and my sister-in-law and her husband are joining and all that stuff. So we will be out on the water seeing the city from a different vantage point. And just kind of, I don't know, we are all looking forward to being tourists in our own city. We are going to go to the Space Needle. I haven't done that since I was in high school probably. And then we are going to go to the Chichulis Museum. Yeah, just showing them around town. They are staying at an Airbnb somewhere over in Ballard. I think they are going to experience a little bit of Ballard and stuff like that over the next few days. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Seeing my wife and her sister and her parents just kind of rekindling this connection they had with someone. It was pretty special. And then for my girls to get to meet her and her kids too. Pretty cool. That's what's going on over here. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.

But that's okay. All of the animals are doing well and they'll settle down for the evening. Except when I go to bed after I talk here now, one of the cats likes to sleep for now on top of my dresser. And then when I get into bed he likes to come over and lay on my chest. And he has claws, they are solid claws. And he kneads and the claws, I like to have the bedspread, the quilt and a towel on top of me so his claws don't go through to me. And he just purrs in a storm and it's so funny. And so for about a half hour and then he finally leaves. And of course I can't sleep during that half hour so I have to make sure he doesn't claw my face. I mean he's not doing it to me, he's just real relaxed and you know they just flex kneads I guess is what I'm thinking of, how they do their kneading. And he's a sweetheart anyway. And yeah Tanner, the other large cat sleeps on my other side. He doesn't bother me at all except once in a while he might lick my hair or my hand. But I'm not that fit. And I can sleep through that. But it's always good to have all the animals around. Jasper the dog is doing good as well. Well today my brother and I had a nice afternoon. We went to what is really the church. We've been having church in another fellowship hall of one of the mobile home parks because the church itself, the building was flooded out two years ago. And they're finally getting, it was gutted of course and we had to rebuild it. And they hope to be back into it the 21st. It won't be finished by then but at least we can start holding services in there again. And what the minister had us do today was come in and have black markers. And on the old floor we could write a scripture. So Rob wrote one for me, one for him. And so the idea is to leave a legacy. So when the new floors put down eventually we know that will have to come up. And then they will see all the scriptures which I think is really neat. So that was good. We had cookies and coffee and all of that. And then came home tonight and watched a Columbo movie. I don't know if you were aware of that, that Lieutenant Columbo, that detective show. Well he made a couple movies that was made of him and Columbo. So we watched one tonight and it was really good. I like him because he seems like he's such a bumbling detective that he can sure figure things out. So that was a nice way to end the evening tonight. That's about it from here. I'll say 73 is everybody have a great night.

This actually hasn't happened in a number of years and The other delightful thing that I have discovered is a really devious minded military consultant who was an NCO in the army and we were talking about Punishment duty and he said, you know, it has to be mean utterly meaningless but demanding of some attention And and the examples the two examples he gave is he said you might be on a ship and asked to guard a bolt a particular bolt in the wall and You would be told to keep people from going any nearer than two feet to this bolt Thus causing irritation to other people getting through the passageway and I can imagine all kinds of things to do with that one and the other one he mentioned was Mopping the parade ground in the pouring rain trying to get it dry in the pouring rain, which of course is meaningless the classic KP of course is kitchen patrol peeling potatoes and scrubbing sinks with toothbrushes or toothpicks It's stuff like this and What it does is is it in theory gives the recruit a chance to think things through and so anyway That was the delightful conversation that I had with him yesterday and I'm busy Inculcating these things into the story of this poor 16 year old who in order to escape his dad's food truck Which was what followed the restaurant they used to have when there were two parents He joined the Navy which promptly sent him to cooking and logistic school Because of course he has cooking and restaurant experience Yes, indeed anyway so I'm having fun with that story and Playing my little patriotic songs and other songs.

Today was actually the first day, I think in over a month, that I haven't been working on the transcribe or TSN project.

I built out of roto truffle beams. They're 10 by 12 and 16 feet long. Those were behemoths that move around. But today I started getting the grades inside the building with gravel. And I hauled 6 yards of 3 quarter minus in the trunk, 2 yards at a time. I loaded it and hand spread it. And oh my god, that was a lot of work. I was really wishing that I had either the skid steer or the dump trailer up here. But unfortunately those are all down at the Oregon property, which is a 9 and a half hour drive from here. Which I'm not going to do for some convenience. I'm just going to have to suffer through it. Because they're going to be down there for the winter probably. But yeah, it's kind of funny. You load 6 yards of gravel and get it spread out and turn around and look. And in that big of a building it looks like you did nothing. I think I covered like a maybe a 10 by 10 foot area there. It looks like I did literally nothing all day. But I tell you what, I feel like I did something. Tomorrow is going to be interesting. I feel like I'm going to be really sore. And I think I got my hands soft over the summer. I ended up ripping a callus off my finger. So that's going to feel great for the next week or two. Pretty much how my day went. Back to net. KK7NQN.

Well, anyway, I have a are going down the street of the Juan de Puca and heading out into the ocean. And I'm just flabbergasted by that. That goes totally against what I've seen before. And I literally called Jack up in KI-7-RMU and said, hey, have you, how's the weather there? Is anything strange going on? He goes, no, it was a nice day. I had a good day. And I went, oh, OK. And I'm watching it right now, and I'm just amazed. But anyhow, it's one of those mysteries. But I ended up ordering another tablet from T-MU. You can get a T-MU tablet for like $40 off there. And it's basically disposable. And I'm going to use that to replace the eight inch one. And just have a bigger screen to look at. I tried looking at the eight inch one, but it's just not getting it. And it's going to drive me nuts because I'll keep looking. And I want to fix it. Meanwhile, see what else is going on here. Just watching various shows today. And the Dodgers have been playing like a triple A team, and they're terrible right now. They went from being super good to being terrible. And I'm just flabbergasted by that, too. One of those mysteries of life. And they haven't won a game in a while. It was just incredible for them. They're that good of a team. I don't know. But dreams of going to the World Series again have been dashed. And meanwhile, I'm just looking at other stuff about writing a book to make some extra money and do my research on it. So with that, I'm sorry. Sorry, something else I wanted to mention. No, yeah. The squirrels. Meanwhile, I had up to three squirrels at a time on the patio today. And they're munching on nuts and peanuts and occasionally chasing each other. And I guess they want to run the energy off so they can eat more peanuts. I'm not sure. But I see Rocky and Princess and another one called Skitters. And they're the regulars here. So they do a pretty good job of cleaning out the peanuts and nuts. So that's pretty much my day for today.

And it's not all brown like it was last night. So yeah, pretty nice day. One of the things I'm trying to do is, I've got this app on my iPhone called Fitness. And what it does is, one of the things it does is track how much I walk. And I'm trying to walk at least two miles a day. And I've been doing that so far, especially this month in September. You know, I was not up to two miles so I decided I'm going to take a walk. And I should be able to make it. Other than that, I had a great day. I went to a, somebody told me about a person who was selling vinyl records out of his garage in Linwood. So I went over there and I picked up a whole bunch of, like really pretty interesting albums. Like things I normally wouldn't pick up. Like there was this album, it's basically, it's Bobby Gentry and Glen Campbell. I mean, the thing's in perfect condition too, that's besides the point. This has a truly kind of cool, I don't know, factor to it. I got a few Ventures albums, they're the old surf band. And again, these are all like in perfect condition. I bought a stack of records that's two inches high for ten bucks. It's got like Traffic and Edgar Winter, Moody Blues and James Gang. And it has a bunch of pretty cool stuff. So anyway, pretty nice day today. And hopefully Rich checks in, it's always good to hear from, get the report from Mexico. So this is KG 7 O2, back to you. Well, very good, Dean. He sounds like a real hall, 12, two inches of vinyl for ten bucks. That must be what, well certainly less than a buck an album. That's a pretty good deal. Very good, excellent.

But, thinking about the same project I might do with the radio, I want to make a broadcast of Vice Station, specifically be able to rackmount it. And, maybe use a Raspberry Pi as well. And, I'm not sure what to use on the radio. And, I don't really want something expensive, or something cheap that won't really work. I could use a BaoFang UV5R, but there's $70 in Canada, which is over my budget over radio there. I could be looking on eBay for something cheap, maybe a used BaoFang. Maybe a scanner, a base scanner that could probably last $50 or more. But, yeah, that's the project I've been thinking about. Be able to rackmount it, use a Raspberry Pi, and definitely have a UBS battery backup on it. And, looking into it as well. I didn't really do much today, it's the weekend. I got tomorrow off. I had today off from work, I worked Friday. And, Monday back to school. Everything is all fixed up at school, finally. Every year that happens. But, yeah, I went for a little drive today, worked at my parallel parking, as I'm getting my license the 11th of September. And, I'm getting excited, but a little nervous as well. It's coming soon. And, be able to drive alone the remainder of 11 months until I have to take another test for my license to never expire. And, if I don't do that, I have to redo everything. Redo the road test, the rules of the road, and everything else. It's a little weird how they do it here. But, the broadcast device stations fall into use with a high repeater. And, then you're not going to have a lot of broadcast from any municipal or government agencies or anything that isn't yours. But, you can transmit broadcast and with your radio into the internet. Even if you're not ham licensed. It's a little weird, but you can't broadcast anything else. You can if they're committed to you by the government or you have permission from that, written permission and a permit, I believe. You can broadcast it to the internet. But, I'm planning on using the ham repeaters in my area. I've done it before with an SDR, but it was really, really bad. So, I always have to adjust the scroach every day. And, it just became a full time job. And, I just want something where I can set up and not worry about it. And, there's also an SC where if I transmit it onto those local repeaters, it would also make the SDR a little bit a little weird. It wouldn't even pick up the transmissions when I transmitted. So, I've been trying to solve that issue as well. And, also when I receive it with the battle thing, AB-5RS, it's going to be located in the basement server room. That's where I want to wrap up.

That's one of my favorite pictures, and one that Bossa Nova Bill has recommended, and one that I've seen a number of times. Robert had not yet seen it, and so I cuffed him into watching a subtitled picture. And then after that, we watched Moonrise Kingdom, because I love me from Wes Anderson. And he's not seen that one either. So we had a pretty lazy afternoon watching some movies. I was going to crawl under the house. I need to do some, I don't know, recon under there, if you will.

Tomorrow's Seahawks game. Down here in Chandler, we pop over to Gilbert. There's a place down here called the Wicked Rain, as in Wicked Rain of Seattle. It's a Northwest themed sports bar, and it's got 40 Northwest craft brews in it if you're into that. It's got a mural of all things Washington and Seattle like Bigfoot, Mount Rainier, kingdoms on this base, and all that kind of stuff. I was trying to say.

I remember if anybody remembers Hydrox cookies. They were kind of similar but not exactly the same. And boy, I never refused seven. I never refused multiples of that. How many, I always think of those columns that they come in. How many Oreos are in a column? At least three times seven I'd say.

But again, with the lighting and remote switches, think about this, remote control. Basically you can get one of those RF remote controls and program it for a frequency. You get the relay boxes that you can stack up right next to the battery there to control your lighting and you can also move them about because most of the RF controls will have a fairly good signal like the car, you can hit the horn 50 feet away. Well, you can also use the remotes to turn on the lights. If you put a sound module in on them, then you can play the stereo and it will look like the most fantastic lighting show ever.

I don't know how they're going to get the title because the person they bought it from was the son of some deceased parents and he was anxious to sell it. He sold it for a song, 800 bucks. But a couple of dead batteries. A starter battery and an auxiliary battery for the accessories in the van. 1989, kind of old but it seemed like it was in pretty good shape overall. But no title. The son has gone out of state so I don't know how she's going to get a title for it. Anyway, not my problem I guess. And then I was helping another friend today assemble a bunk bed, a metal bunk bed. And man there were a lot of parts. And man was that a project. So it took me a bit of part of four hours to get that thing assembled. And that was fun. It was a good mental workout.

Where the time I spent in the military, I was designated as a bosun's mate, and I was supposed to be on ship, but I only spent about a year on ship. The rest of the time I worked for the shore patrol or the fire department. And I can't tell you how many experiences I had that were unique and that nobody else had. You know, and so I sum up my life in the five years I was in service, and then just back story for the rest. Yeah, I got to do a lot of funny, unique things the time I was into. I was a radio slash electronics technician when I was in the Air Force. And once I got to Winnipeg, I got the opportunity to move over to maintaining all the computer systems on base. And then we started networking the base. And I got to help design and retrofit the entire base for proper Ethernet. But then they wouldn't let me go anywhere. I tried to go to Sarajevo, had it all worked out for the army to pay for this Air Force guy to go fix all their computers. They wouldn't let me go do my parachute course. They wouldn't let me go anywhere. Which is part of the reason I got upset and pulled the pin."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-07T03:28:54+00:00","id":33990,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33989,"text":" I met an even year. See I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about. I don't know about being strange. I'll give you the same advice I gave the guy at work who just retired. If you're thinking about it and it's a possibility, the longer you wait, the more chance there is that you won't be able to enjoy it. Because that's just more time something can happen where you're at work and not enjoying. I'm in a position now where things have happened in life that retirement isn't an option for me. I'm going to be working until I drop. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November Quebec November. Without saying what I'll do. We have a lottery going on down here called Powerball. I bought a ticket. It's worth one or seven point one point seven billion dollars. The highest jackpot ever done. I didn't check the ticket yet. But what I do is a lot of others at seven o'clock last night. I will give you one million dollars if I win the whole thing. So you can retire. That would be amazing. I tell you what I've got a ticket for a draw that happened last night. I haven't checked either. It's for a few million. But I'll happily return that favor. I win tonight man. I'll scoot you a million bucks. And you can not have to worry about it and not have to think about it. You can just pull the pin."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-07T03:30:00+00:00","id":33991,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33990,"text":" Well, what you have to do is let's say you want a car and the car was a real nice car was worth at the time 30,000. The government comes in and tells you $10,000. You don't have to pay that immediately. But what you could do is sell the car and then collect money and pay the taxes. Right? There you go. It's not the best solution. I don't know. I don't know. Taxes are ridiculous. Don't get me started on that, please."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-07T03:32:07+00:00","id":33992,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33991,"text":" Oh, no, it's worse than that. If you win 1.7 million, you can collect the 1.7 million. But they do it over a period of something like 25 or 30 years. They give you so much each year. And then you pay taxes out of that. And it's going to roughly go about 30, 40% because you got your state and you got federal and all that kind of stuff, right? But if you decide that you're an old coot like me, and you can just take a lump sum out. And so they basically cut it in half. So it comes to be about $850 million. And then they take taxes out of bank, which probably runs it down to about 500, $600 million. That's why I never buy a ticket unless it's over a billion dollars because I don't think I can retire for anything less than a billion. Holy crap, that's crazy. See, if I went up here, there's no tax on none of it. And if I have like, if somebody else up here and I want to give them part of the money, you have the lottery organization, write them a check, and then they don't pay tax on it. If I give it to them, then there's taxes paid on it. As long as it comes from the lottery corporation, there's no tax on our side. It's great."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-07T03:32:54+00:00","id":33993,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":33992,"text":" No, I'm not on I'm not on Echolink.

For instance, if I wanted the money, I could buy my kids' homes and then just put it in a trust under my name and they wouldn't have to pay taxes there. I mean, because that would be the real hard thing is if you won the money, you could get paid all the taxes unless they get your 600 million left and then you want to give your daughter, let's say 100 million and your son 100 million and your grandson 100 million. Well, each of them would have to pay roughly 50 million back to the government before they get to enjoy their money. It really sucks. So you have to come up with some inventive ways to be able to make sure you screw Uncle Sam. Yeah, there'd be a whole lot of home buying and then selling them to the kids and to the family for a buck, I think. That's crazy. I remember hearing stories of people from Canada going down to watch The Price is Right and stuff like that and thinking they won great. And then at the end of the show, the IRS coming and saying, okay, even though that you're from Canada, now you get paid the tax on these items. And everybody's like, well, I can't pay the taxes.

Located in Shelton, Washington. I'm looking at it this way. Like I said, I'm close to retirement and no matter what he does, it's not really going to affect me too much financially now. So in fact, I just got done pulling everything. I didn't pull it from my accounts, but I put it in safekeeping in my account. So right now I'm just looking at making sure that I stay above the inflationary rate. So I still have 20% in some risk funds, so that's how I'm keeping up with the inflationary rate. But other than that, I have no bills, I have no credit card debt. So whatever he does, I'm fine and I won't even have to worry about a job. I think I planned that perfectly. I really do. Oops.
