Calendar, my announcement just covered up my text. Good evening. It's nine o'clock Pacific Daylight Time and time for the nine o'clock net for Monday, September 15 2025. This is Joan KXQCW and I'll be the host for this evening. This is a directed social net that happens on the WW7PSR 2 meter FM repeater, which is located on Capitol Hill in Seattle and operated by the Puget Sound repeater group. The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and a pale tone of 103.5. All licensed Tams and new licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third party traffic, we love hearing from them as well. We encourage you to press the button, tell about yourself, your projects, just about anything else. Please limit your reports to three minutes so we can get in as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished with your report, please conspicuously end with your call sign. That'll keep the FCC happy. I'll be compiling with the stations that would like to check in. Then I'll ask you for your reports. If you'd like to check in only, just let me know. You'll be an I, an O, or an in-out. Thanks. Again, this is Joan KXQCW. Let's get started. Please come ahead now with your call sign and name. Kilo Alpha 9 at Nacos Hotel, Victor KA9EHV, Anne with limited time. Go ahead, Anne, with your report. Okay. I don't have much to say. I just wanted to let everybody know that I had a really great doctor's appointment, so I'm doing well. I got a little more work done on my book, and things are plugging along. I'm going to go sit for my husband to tell me about his lovely meeting. Thanks for taking my report, what little there is of it. This is KA9EHV, 733388. Thanks, Joan, for running the net.

And you know, I had some bad swelling that's gone, that's starting to go down finally. And the pain is gone and it looks like I'm going to live. So, I don't know if it would have been life threatening or not. But don't need it to get to that point. And my birthday is coming up in a week.

I know Kim, K7JW Kim just waved in the room and said hello enthusiastically carrying the dehumidifier water bucket into port down the toilet. CMI. Anyway, I too like your brother had just got done, just got finished with a bad infection in my toe. Oh my gosh, how I got finished with it was unique though. I was on like a two-way stuck cycling which really sucks because you have to control your diet very heavily around that antibiotic. We knew it wasn't going to do anything but it kept things from getting worse. What the infection in the bone in the tip of my toe wind up resulting in was they took off my whole toe. My whole middle toe on my left foot is gone completely now. And just this weekend, just you know like last Wednesday was when they finally pulled the stitches out. No more antibiotics, no more stitches, no more hobbling around with the big boot on. And gosh, that was a relief. And he had a load of this. The middle toe is gone now and my dancing shoes fit better than ever. Unbelievable. I put them on. Kim and I went out dancing at the Little Red Hen. We went and saw Darcy Carlson, this badass outlaw country western chick that we love. We were belting out some fine tunes and we danced every song. And my foot was fine after years of it being a pain. It was like I had perfectly good feet with eight and a half toes. Because I got half of another one removed on the other foot last year. Anyway, I'm turning sixty-six in December and I hope I can keep not losing toes because it takes two weeks to heal and I need to do things in that two weeks. So that's it. I just thought I would add a little bit of that kind of conversational thread to the pot tonight. Anyway, it was good to hear from your brother and Ann and DJ as well. I've always just heard your sister mention your name but I never actually caught you on the air so it was good to hear you. And I'm glad you're healthier than you were when you were taking the antibiotics. Anyway, I'll kick it back to y'all. I love everyone out there including the people I haven't heard yet.

Got back to my apartment and I happened to have to my phone. That reminded me that the International Space Station was flying over at 903, about 30 degrees off the horizon. So I stuck my head out the window and it was too cloudy to see anything. So I was kind of bummed about that. What else is going on? Saturday we had the city of Mercer Island did an emergency preparedness presentation here at the building I live in. Wow, was that sobering. I did not realize that we are sitting right on top of a vault. I knew there was one nearby, but I just didn't realize that there's one that follows I-90. So they gave lots of excellent, excellent education around emergency preparedness and some tips. And it looks like I need to start putting some things together for the unpredictable. So that's a goal. And I just want to send daily thoughts out to everybody on the net that's recovering from something, an infection or otherwise.

Just imagine swarms of millions and billions of electrons bleeding off, vaporizing off of the cathode and just getting sucked over to the anionic electrode at the top. I guess I was still in high school and I took transistor theory at the local college and that was within a couple of years or two and that was a whole other world. Of course, you're remembering those changes too. We thought that tubes, just like we thought that dialed telephones were here to stay, would have occurred to us that there would someday not be dialed telephones. It never occurred to us that someday there would not be tube, hollow state vacuum tube electronics. And yes, we were in the hot cathode and I was trying to explain the smell to someone and I said it's not that they're hot tubes but it's old equipment and so the tubes are dusty and you're actually smelling the dust getting cooked by the hot tubes.

KF-70K, Doug, near Linwood. Yeah, today was kind of fun. Anyway, you guys, I was kind of thinking back to when I had two rigs. I was licensed in, first got licensed in, 77, I've been licensed the whole time, but anyway. And my first rig was a Heath kit, and it had 20 tubes in it. So you had to turn it on, you had to wait like about five minutes before, well actually not that long, maybe about three minutes before you could hear anything. And back in those days when people ran the tube rigs, a lot of them were very broadcast quality. But then again too, a lot of them sound like garbage too, because they needed constant alignment. But it was fun to do that. I think ever since I got a Kenwood in, I think it was 1990, I never had to align one of my main radios again. The only time I ever done it was a vintage radio, which I still work on. Sometimes I get radios just to work on them, get them running, and then I give them away to hams that are just starting and stuff. The other little thing I did is I had this little timer, and I used to use this thing while flying. I had it that would go right on the control column. And it was a timer used during instrument approaches, and the clock would be, you know you'd have a clock for UTC and stuff. And since that's all, my flying days are long gone, I kind of repurposed it and have it in my shack here, and it was kind of cool. So I'm on the repeater and talking. I can tell you how long I've been transmitting. It took a minute and 43 seconds. And the clock function, I just have it on UTC, and I thought, you know, that would be a great addition to the shack. So I went ahead and put new batteries in it and took the double back tape off of it and everything. And I think it will be a nice little addition. Anyway, KF70K, back to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-15T21:41:38+00:00","id":39076,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39075,"text":" Well, thanks for that Doug. And yeah, I always have a clock running out showing you TC. I've got a world clock, just a stock clock in my MacBook. And you can add time zones. They just come with your own time zone that wherever you bought your machine. But you can add them. And so I've added, I used to have these come from Bonuts, I used to have about five time zones displayed on it. But I've gotten economical and just have West Coast time and then UTC. And because we have operators checking in from Sydney and Eastern Australia, I've got set to Sydney's time. Although we also have people checking in from the Philippines and they are two hours slower than Sydney, which is easy to point of reference. But I also have, similarly, I have my weather app and my iPad Mini 6. And I have, you can put different places in there. And I've put a set of places where I used to live, including three places in Europe. And it's fun to compare the weather conditions from different places. But it's also fun to look at the clock and see what time it is, you know, where someone is operating from, like Carrie coming up. She's, I think she's one hour, Carrie can tell me when she checks in whether she's, she's not on UTC, but she's like an hour ahead of UTC, which makes sense since it might be more of the European thing. But it could be also an hour slower than UTC. I forget exactly.

Yeah, yikes, I don't know how I'm going to get the other two long pieces up, though. That's going to be fun. Your old gist is I had a good day today. It was nice. It was quiet. That was weird, except for last night. My neighbor decided to have too much fun. But otherwise, I'm doing just fine. And yeah, I decided to get on the radio earlier and check in, and I had a good time doing that. And then I hear all this honking and whatnot. It turned out well, yeah, there was a fire truck or something going down the highway, and another one going down another street. So it's like, wow, it's a bit full all over the place today. And yet it's cooler weather. Interesting. So when will the leaves fall? That, I don't know. But you know what? I hope they're pretty. So anyway, that's a skip other than my sense of humor being weird, as always. It's good to hear you all, and hope to hear you more.

We are currently one hour ahead of UTC but in about a month's time we will become the same time as UTC when we get into daylight savings for the winter. So yes, six months of the year we're ahead of UTC and the other six months we're bang on time with UTC to start one hour's business because it starts to get very dark. Apparently it was brought in because it was too dark in the mornings for the school children doing the school work so that's partly why they brought in the daylight savings here. So there we go. And the WX here, it's certainly been cooling down the last four weeks for sure. We're in the 50s now and the daytime 57 degrees fahrenheit yesterday. It'll be doing about the same today I think. It's starting to get to that wave, you know. It's getting dark at night and you haven't to wear up again to get the wheel and jumper out and that kind of thing. And I was even sent to yesterday to put the central heating on but I didn't. I'm trying to relent until October because it's very expensive to run the gas central heating. So yeah, that extra month makes all the difference on that winter build. So yeah, I'm trying not to start until October but we'll see what happens. If it gets much colder I might just have to give in and put it on even for a little while, just in the morning to take the chill off. In other news, I've just been having quite a last weekend. I did mess about quite a bit with the new ASU radio and I have been programming it. So now I have all the UK repeaters in that radio. And I set it up working for FT8 for a police officer at a monitor to a P FT8 station now. And the next thing I'm going to be looking at is SSTV, Slow Scan TV and JS8 call. I'm trying to get it all set up running with my laptop that's a MacBook I'm using as I'm going on vacation. I have to run about the middle of October so I've got a good few weeks yet to get it all going. But that is the purpose of working on the radio the last weekend or so. And the next job after that is to get it in the go box. And Joan I've got a quick question. I did see on the Facebook page that there was a Slow Scan TV presentation by the GSRG. And I just wondered will I be able to watch that historically on the website? Because obviously it was, I think it was a microphone. Oh, enough time doubt. Sorry Joan. I just wanted to know that presentation be on the website back to you there.

Today has been kind of a relaxing day after this pretty crazy weekend. It started off Friday night, went up to Everett Gutter Hotel and hung out with the Zero Retries guys at the digital conference there. Hung out with a very good group of people. It was a fun time. Hopefully some of you guys caught at least a live stream while we were there with us. But yeah, that was just kind of like a highlight of the weekend. Topped it off, decided to... Me and the wife were going to drive over to Leavenworth immediately after that. So yeah, our Saturday was a Zero Retries digital conference. Had all that excitement. And then our Sunday we went over to Leavenworth and hung out for the day and then drove back here today. It was a pretty exciting weekend. And I got back here today, relaxed a little bit and started playing with what I got at my Zero Retries door prizes. I got an all scan control unit for a repeater as my raffle prize and slowly swapping that into my repeater. And conveniently it's exactly what I kind of wanted. So that's been fun. And then the wife got elected to be the photographer over there at the Zero Retries digital conference. So she's been sitting here basically all day going through all the photos, retouching them and sending them off to Steve and Tina. Hopefully next week or the week after we'll get an update from Steve and Tina of all of the Zero Retries digital conference stuff. That was a fun day and there were so many knowledgeable people that were just helping everyone and sharing insight and knowledge on everything. It was probably the coolest thing I have ever seen. This is KK7NQN, back to Nick. Well, thanks for that, Muster. Yeah, I'm on the Zero Retries mail list. And I have never been to one of the digital conferences though. But find business on that. And... There I am. I just wanted to make sure there I see my modulation now. I had a little audio meter that's not doing anything but being an audio meter right now. And I wasn't seeing anything on it. I don't know why that was. Anyway, so find business on the Digital Retries digital conference. And it sounds like a great get together. I'm possible I might end up getting to one of those. Take care, Hunter. Thanks for stopping by. Now next we have a treat. We have AlphaGolf7, Limoromo, Romeo, Cody, Brian and a couple of others. See, Rodeo. So I hit Romeo when I want to go...

This thing locked up on me earlier today and took about half an hour to get it to finally boot back up. It is locking up on something and not wanting to boot. It's using an old single board computer. I think I got it back in like 2016 or something like that. It's got eMMC flash memory on board. It doesn't use an SD card. And I think that memory is getting worn out and it's starting to get some corruption on there. But I'll need a new computer anyways to run the new version of All-Star because apparently it doesn't like 32-bit CPUs. It's getting a little weird. The old version of All-Star hardly needs any power. It's running on a single core, I think, A7 at like 400 megahertz and never has any performance issues with that. So I wonder if it just didn't compile the new version or if it completely doesn't work on 32-bit. I guess it's something to try out. But that's about all I got for now. 73 everyone.

I got rid of, or we, I should say we, got rid of the last of the corn today. Dispersed it up and down this little dirt road we live on to the neighbors. And so that's the end of the corn crop. So gardening is winding down for us for sure. We've still, believe it or not, we still have some strawberries that are making out there. I thought that that little gig was over with, but there's still strawberries being made. We got tomatoes in the greenhouse and peppers in there as well. John, last Saturday I went over to the four towns to the mobile, or traveling I should say, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, also known as the Healing Wall. And I'd never seen the wall there in DC before, so I took advantage of it being here close by. I went to that and it was very stunning for sure. I took the tour.

We're allowed to do humor on amateur radio Humor is the only thing we've got left this year Anyway and I can kind of relate to what you're saying Sebastian and You know You should do is is go out and get a doughnut or get something for paying and bring it to her and say I'm so sorry I am so sorry get down on your knee and hand it to her your head bowed and say My my paying my paying of all here is a doughnut for you Um, I don't know how you could make that up I don't know how you could make that up Hopefully we immediately left and came back with a doughnut That's anyway And but when I was in yet when I was young when I was my 20s I drove my car at night all the time like four o'clock in the morning wide open roads I won't tell you how fast that went.

I'm waving back if she waved as aware that you're talking to me. And Subaru Ascent, a 2022 Subaru Ascent. I love Subarus. I had a Subaru for a while. It was a station wagon and it had a four-cylinder horizontally opposed engine in front and it had a six-speed manual transmission and all-wheel drive and it had high-low ranges. So technically it was a 12-speed but it was like you know an economy range you know you know highway range and a kind of like the off-road range or a lower range that was it got worse fuel economy but it was like it was kind of a power monster in its lower range and there was a lot of overlap. So it's six-speed in two ranges with about mostly overlap between the two ranges. So it would be practically like it were as if it were like seven speeds like you could drive in the six lower gears or in the six higher gears instead you know it's kind of how it felt. But it was a good car. Subaru they marketed those cars to good people like me. Anyway and I said I kind of miss it. I didn't have it very long. It was kind of a temporary car but but anyway I kind of miss it and so I thought if I ever bought a new car I would be tempted to buy one of the new new Subaru electric cars.

Oh wow that's so crazy. They're showing a plane that landed during, right in the middle of a soccer game near a school that I used to attend. Monarch Park Collegiate. And somewhere within that park They're announcing it as a school in East York. I guess that's part right. I didn't actually even really think of it as East York, although a lot of the girls that went there came from East York. I should have put that together because they have the Thorncliffe Recreational Center And then they have the Thorncliffe Park Mall, which I used to, oh that's funny, I used to always go to ditch class and I used to always get caught ditching class there because I had an education assistant that just kept following me around, tracking me down every time I played hooky when I was at Monarch Park. And so that guy used to always find me at that mall. Anyway, so some planes they didn't say They didn't say that it was a crash but they said that it was some kind of rough landing. And they didn't say that it disrupted the soccer game. And the reporters are talking about how they weren't allowed to really get close to the site where that happened, right? Because I guess that guy is there nosing around and he is there nosing around trying to find out business. So that's all you need. I'm sure they really appreciate reporters just landing on the scene as soon as that happens. So really strange. That was a school a guy attended there like 30 or so years ago and got a lot of fond memories at that park. There's a lot of dirty ones that I can't say. Most of them just where I would take a girl because I can't use my house because I don't want my mom's nosing in my business and you know so that park. But it's also where a lot of the also where a lot of us used to get high I remember I had a friend Richard Fairfall who could really do the hot knives really good except he stole. He was a kleptomaniac. So he had good characteristics like he could play keyboards and stuff like that. But you had to really count the silverware if you had them at your house and look through the next thing you know you turn your head and he's looking through pockets and all the rest of it. So he was the kind of guy you know he had three hands so you had to be really careful with guys like that. He used to do up the hash really good and yeah we used to use that park and also there was another place called Saint Pat and those kids used to pick on the Monarch Park kids all the time they used to rob them and beat them up and stuff. And so I remembered I had a close call in the park a few incidences that I barely just scraped out and what it was I couldn't really fight back and disgrace Saint Pat. So a lot of times I had to kind of hold back I mean I felt like just sometimes holding somebody against the fountain in that park that started static but then I knew that I could be in a lot of trouble so it was very dicey situations in that park sometimes. There was this hut it was nicknamed the hut and what it was was it was like this little spot it was some kind of improvised tunnel in between the train tracks and between the two schools because they horned on these train tracks that went through the two places. So you're supposed to sit there like there's a bench and you sit there and you would probably wait for your friends to come out and leave or wait for a bus across the way you could see the bus coming and you leave but people would hang out there and there would be trouble and I remember I used to really like that spot but after a few rough incidences where I barely scraped by barely escaped I never went back there it was disappointing because it was a nice little spot I was like why did you kids ruin it? because it was a nice little spot you know you could take your lunch sometimes kids would be there with boom boxes listening to music and we'd sit and smoke but all it takes is a bad apple to spoil the bunch so yeah I'll fetch you even now at that spot there might be some kids that speak of the hut like you asked them if they're at Monarch Park so if you ever hang around in the hut they might still know what it is and you just tell them it's that little trap spot that's like right underneath where the train tracks are who knows? for all you know with today's status and situations there might be people sleeping in there if they were not bad I guess I don't know what you do when it rains okay so I'll turn it back to Russ and I hope this gets you some legs like you know legs for bridge okay back to you"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T04:48:17+00:00","id":39264,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39263,"text":" I don't have to listen no more.

Next we would go or we would go to the, we had a hockey arena, indoor hockey arena and we would go there but we wouldn't go to the front and inside we would go off to the side on a tree but we all know when we said dugout which dugout we were going to and we would basically go there to smoke but anyway I think we had a willow tree too that we would go to. It all depended but another place we would go into the girls bathroom by the theater. We would go there guys and girls and it was off away from everything else. All those places were and that's why we went there but yeah I got caught and lost my driving privileges so I had to, I would get up early in the morning and I had friends that lived near the school and I would just drive to their house and then we would have to walk.

There was going into St. Pats where most people were not supposed to be but I could get in because I could talk to the deaf, right, they have a deaf population there and because I could speak to them I could sign to them. I sign into their hands so they know I'm blind because they are going to know real fast that I'm not responding to any of their visual cues and deaf people use a lot of short forms for their visual signs so when they sign into their hands it's very obvious. Anyway, so I could talk to them, right, and they had this laboratory, it was like a science laboratory that a lot of times was vacant. Well it was in the higher level at the school like on the top floor like you take their elevator because they had the disabled equipped elevator and you could take it up to the very top floor and then up there I used to just like bring in my Walkman and you could really get really Dx up there so it was good for a ham aspect because at that time I had like a little radio shack like short wave portable Walkman and later on I gave that off to a girlfriend I was dating at the time that really wanted it, she really wanted it, it was like the highlight of the day. I said here you can have it and I used to pick up everything up there so I used to make every excuse just to cut across that long yard to go in the same path and go up to that room and some of the kids knew what I was up to but they didn't care and I was like okay I'm going to give a deaf person a Walkman but anyways, excuse me let me answer the iron. Okay yeah that's a terrible Helen Keller joke but anyways so on a Dx point of view I loved it you know and that's the thing that I never, what was it? It would be a few years later I remember thinking you know I wish I had like maybe an HT I probably would have really really really did some good work up there as well so I never did that aspect of it although I had my license in the summer, mid summer of 94 so probably going into that into those times I probably could have but there was a while too I had to avoid saying that on account of my friend Malik. That was the bank robber guy I told you about you know the red guy anyways oh oh oh oh and he was like my boosting partner meaning like we'd go to record stores and he'd just put a lot of things in his pocket. Anyway he uh he faded that whole place out he just had a lot of bad people going through there and through their hallways so. Finally I kind of sort of avoided St. Pat's because I figured they know that that's my friend and they see us together so I didn't want them to think that I was kind of shady or whatever. Later when he pulled that stunt that he did there was no mistake and they never must have me with him because I don't do that right that was the guy that one day my friend Marlin this is long after I'm not even in those areas anymore he brought me a story about how Malik he was he him and his friends were on about they need to get this money so they robbed a royal branch and Malik went in with a letter came back out flagged the cab and then that was like his last cab rise that's kind of how Marlin explained it and um somewhere during the cab rise um uh he he investigated in his his spoils his booty you know and that's when the red dye exploded and then uh I don't know while the cabbie uh uh uh flagged the cop and then that was that was sort of the end of that uh so and Malik had a million names uh used to hang around um a friend of mine uh gain but his actual name is Hakeem so and then he he had gotten into some bad stuff too like robbing people and things like that so yeah so they didn't mix me up with those people our lives had a drastic turn and I'm glad we didn't mix because I kind of work for well Metro Vision supports those schools in East Shore so technically it would be a place it would be one of my places so if I was black balls from like let's say Monarch Park it would be kind of strange because uh in in effect I still kind of I would still kind of have to be there so I'll be nuts okay I'll turn it back to you I'll turn it back to you Russ VA3KKY"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T04:58:05+00:00","id":39269,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39268,"text":" Well, I did not make the best KCTKU makes the best, and I don't handle this on my phone.

And then at dinner they had the same thing, but we left after lunch, got done with my shower and my laundry, and we drove back up here to Corinne, and they didn't have any food today. So we had some time this week, but we got up here and then got into the, what first started to me yesterday was the iOS update. It had an update, and I did it, and it turned out it was only an update to get my phone ready for the main update. So I must have missed one. And I thought it was done, and then I went to try to update my watch, and my watch was saying, oh, no, you got to do your phone first. I'm like, what? And I went over and I looked and figured that out. So I'm like, ah, son of a gun. And that was like a gig. But the phone update was big. I think it was 9.3 gigabytes. So I can't remember if I did the, I think I did the phone there. And I started the, well, and the computer was the same way. I had a four gigabyte download for the computer, and it went through that, and then it was asking me do I want to update 26. I'm like, yes, but I waited until I got back up to Corinne and got on the Walmart Wi-Fi, which was a little bit faster. And then I was able to get all the, my phone, the computer, the iPad, and the watch took a while and ended up connecting the phone to the iPad and using the iPad as a hotspot in order for my watch to recognize that I was on Wi-Fi in order to do the watch. And that still took forever. That was a 2.3 gigabyte for the watch, and that's, watches take so long. It's the only reason.

I didn't get one last year so I'm wondering if the music is being able to be played over the watch through the speaker because I mean you can use the speaker as a for a call and you can listen to people talk and you can talk through the speaker on the watch so there's a speaker there and it does play sound so why can't you play music? So that's the big question and now we've got the updates for everything and the new watch is supposed to be able to play so can you do it on the old watch that's the next thing and then my phone wanted to update and download languages now it did Spanish but it did Spain Spanish so I'm wondering how close that's going to be to Mexican Spanish if it'll work but my AirPods did try to update download English download Spanish so I can do the translation through my old AirPods 2 so that was confirmed last night and yeah it's just still working through things it asked me a bunch of stuff on the phone list I guess there's a new type of phone list you can see where it goes through and shows you something I can't remember what it was because I was also then they decided to send me a trip at the same time that my alarm went off for the net so then I was trying to work with the planner to try to get him to give me something different because they were trying to send me down to California I'm like no I need to get back to Phoenix so it's still up in the air we're still trying to figure it out and so I'm just kind of in limbo right now and my students 34 hours is up so he's got his 34 hour reset so we'll be good to go let me pass it back to Ray thank you for picking that up"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T05:22:36+00:00","id":39301,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39300,"text":" And I know a few this is Casey to PKG.

I'm currently on the 16 Pro Max. I really like the phone. My battery health is still 100% as well so there's nothing actually up with the phone I've got. What I tend to do is I'll get the new phone and my son then gets the old version that he's about to only kid up in, Ken Hynsfield, running about with an iPhone 14 Pro Max. And his friends are all looking at him enviously. He's like, oh I've got an iPhone 14 so I don't know. I might do a bit much giving him a 16 Pro Max to hit about with. I don't know. I'm debating it at the moment. I'll decide that maybe in a few days. In other news, it's raining, it's wet, it's miserable here in Scotland today. And the temperature, we're in the low 50s. The Fahrenheit is certainly getting a little cool.

I've always anticipated enough people on and I've never really thought about it. Now I know on SCARS I just leave after a while. So, at some point that will have to be some kind of a reckoning since we've arrived at the juncture of bombing. Some people might not remember, Andrew Dice Clay has a performance called, it's an album called The Day the Laughter Died. And what that was, was he went to a New Jersey club and he bombed terrible. They just weren't feeling him. And they decided to just make a whole album out of it and you can easily tell. He's standing up there talking to himself. You barely even hear a titter of noise from the audience. And then I think he literally even says at some point, I know you're out there, I see you leaving. Because comedians eventually bust that out when that happens. So, what to do with the bomb? We've got to figure that out at some point. I thought that if I would have, well I don't know, that would have been the thing too. If I would have took the helm from us today. At least it was later in the day, I wouldn't have been holding the bag. But that would be a fear in my mind, as I'm holding the bag of some sort. So, it's a lot easier to, it's a lot easier to vamp the way I was doing earlier when someone else is pedaling the bike. But I've got to drive too and vamp. Scary, scary, scary. Anyways, hey listen, welcome to my nightmare, welcome to our nightmare. I'm going to leave you to it. Probably just park in the headphones, vape and just chill.

Is that because you didn't have as much vacationers coming down or coming up or coming down from Canada or something like that? We're just getting real slow here for you for the most part because of that. And, uh, of course, you said it's going to be in the 40s up here now, right? It's pretty cold already up there here. We're still in the 90s down here in Missouri. You'll see like that for a couple more days and then we're going to start seeing some 70 degree weather again. So, yeah, that's my question to you, Gray.

I have two answers to that question. For us, it was great. We had all the houses filled with paying guests and it worked well. We even had some people staying, some people stay in the boathouse, usually our best friends so we don't charge you for that. And that's a really nice trip. If you ever get the chance, come see us. We would love to see some of you guys and have you up here vacationing. For most of Maine, however, the loss of the Canadians was like the loss of 80,000 tourists. So further south in, I don't know, Bar Harbor and places like that, Booth Bay, it was a very slow year and wasn't really jammed. And I noticed that there were only a couple of days when we had the Blueberry Festival up here where there was even traffic on the roads because usually there isn't. You can drive for 20 minutes into town and not see another car. And that was mostly what it was like. And in the winter, that's definitely what it's like. So yeah, it got slow in Maine. The whole problem with Canada, it hurt the way we thought it would. And that's too bad because a lot of people are depending on those summer months to feed them over the next winter. So we'll see that coming out. And the other thing, this will be my up, I'll do a quick one here. The food subsidies to places like the food bank and farmers who want to sell off their extra crops, they get sort of a tax break or something because they can contribute that food and take it off its money or sometimes they get paid sort of a super minimum amount. Well, those assistances went away. So now what used to be about $4,000 a month in food for 200 families at the food bank is now costing $8,000 because that ripples up and down the chain. My wife gets a lot of the food for the food bank from a place called Good Shepherd. They get it from Hannafords. They get a bunch of people contribute and that has drizzled out. So the money that's there, they're starting to spend all the money that they've saved over the years. So if they get into some kind of capital improvement problem or, you know, the air conditioning goes down or the freezers go down and stuff like that, they start burning through that money pretty fast. So it's desperate. Everybody has to scramble up here. But anyway, so yeah, it was good for us. It was not good for me.

But yeah, Bill you asked the question whether it can play music or not yet. No, it can't. Believe it or not that's a feature that they have relegated to the Series X and newer, and the Apple Watch Series 2 or the Pro Ultra Series 2 and newer. So yeah, that's just a feature that they didn't get from last year. They added that with the new watches last year. So no, that's not something they'll be given with a software update, which is strange because the speaker on this thing is pretty loud just to be able to listen to a little bit of music. Why does that require anything special? Apple is notorious for adding arbitrary features that could easily be handled by previous hardware that they just can't, they just won't let everyone have. They've got to hold something back to make it so that you want to get the new one. And I think that's about really cool, you know, because if the device can handle the operating system, it should be able to handle little knick-knack features like that. With the update for the watch this year, there's things that are only relegated to Apple Watch Series X and above, and watch Ultra 2 and up. So they've started taking features away from the original Ultra already. Like it's fine enough that they support their devices for a number of years, but why leave little arbitrary features out other than to have it be an enticement to buy the new devices? That's all it is. I can't remember the couple of things I saw in the release notes yesterday that are relegated to Series X and newer. So yeah, strange thing, but it is what it is. I do like the new liquid glass look. I like the window thing on the iPad OS. That's really cool that you can like drag windows around and resize them and stuff. And you don't have to use Stage Manager anymore, which I was never really a fan of. I don't like it on the Mac. I find it's just cumbersome to use on the Mac. I didn't use it on iOS like last year and the year before either. I just used a regular, you know, split view. But now you can like drag windows around. You've got to maximize and minimize.

And yeah, nm0rkn, that was the issue that I was having yesterday. I went to go to get the 26 and the 26 wasn't there. They wanted me to do this other update first. I'm just like, if I update the 26, won't the other update just automatically update? So I updated my phone and I thought I had the 26 and then I looked down and it wasn't the 26. I'm like, nothing's really changed. I think, well, what's the big deal? And then I realized when I tried to update my watch that the ... It was telling me that I needed to update the 26 on the phone and I thought I had and I hadn't. I only updated to the 18.7 or something. So I experienced that on the phone and I experienced that on the ... I think I did the laptop. I'm not sure. It might have been something else, but ... And I think I experienced that maybe on the iPad. So yeah, don't get discouraged. If it doesn't say 26, do whatever update it's asking for. Then once that updates, then the 26 will appear down at the bottom and ask you to update. And that was the other thing because it says, check for updates and this is ... You have to leave this version 18.7. I'm like, wait a minute, that's not the latest version. Down at the very bottom, there's a little bubble, oblong bubble that says, hey, you want 26? Here it is. So yeah, went through all that frustration yesterday. And then, well, this guy is ... You know those old fly traps that are like a little tube and you pull it down and it stretches out and it gives you the thing for the flies and this guy here in this Mercedes ... Looks like the Mercedes van. He's got three of them, one hanging from his mirror and one hanging from each of the window visors. So he must get a lot of flies in there.

And yeah, I think Russell was downstairs rather than upstairs doing the net and that's why he didn't have any paper available because he didn't have any paper downstairs. All his paper was up in his room or his notepad or whatever. Yeah, and I'm still used to when somebody says notepad or pad, you know, I automatically think electronic, you know, kind of like an iPad or something like that. I've got those, they're monotone notepads where you can actually write down and take notes and then transfer them. My brother's got this notepad which is pretty cool. He writes on the pad and then it transfers onto his phone. He just takes a photo of it and there's some kind of sensors in the notepad and it transfers onto his phone, makes it as a PDF or a notes. It understands his handwriting and it's really accurate. Then you just wipe the page. It's got a special kind of heat but you just wipe the page and you just keep using the same thing over and over and they have different types of, it's not just one sheet in the notepad, it's got a couple different kinds of sheets but, you know, they've got grid and they've got lines and some other stuff that's pretty cool.

But they didn't build indicators in to say this is what's going on now or something is actually happening. And I think it took me a year to talk them into putting in a progress bar and messages on the screen saying I'm doing this now. So you felt like something was going on. Because a lot of times you turn it on, the screen would go black and you couldn't tell what was going on. People were like well turn it off, something's wrong, something's wrong.

I typically turn off all notifications on my phone pretty much. Other than maybe the phone and text messaging. Yeah, just about everything else gets turned off. I hate them. I turn off the little bubbles. I don't want to be reminded if I got something to check. If I want to check it, I'll check it. The exception to that of course is work. It works with all of these notifications. But yeah, I guess I'm a fitty fitty. Fitty fitty. Fitty percent of me likes the notification bars whenever you're doing operating systems and software updates and stuff like that. But then the other side of me hates notifications on my cell phone and my tablet. Hope that helps. Let's see. I'm going to watch today because I'm kind of interested. The Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with FBI Director Cass Patel. He doesn't seem to be hitting any home runs lately. And I'm interested to see what they ask him about. I'm specifically interested in knowing and they're going to question him. Why he said they had the assassin in custody but then come to find out they didn't. I don't know if you all remember that. And it's before they actually caught the kid. So I'll be watching that to see what Cass Patel does. I'm neither a fan nor against him. I don't really know him all that well. I figure if he was confirmed by the Senate, well then that's his job. So hopefully he does a good job. So I'll probably watch some of that today. What else do I have going on today? I want to look into more of the Reform UK stuff. I don't know if we talked about this at all. But I was blown away watching the Reform UK march in the UK. Whether you're formal or against them, you don't see Brits come together like that very dang often I don't think anymore. And it's a growing movement. I did not realize how many people have actually traded their parties. Some big name people have left the Labour Party I believe and went to Reform UK. So it's interesting to see how the politics in England works. I've always been interested in their political stuff. Just because it's so different than ours.

The Labour Party's becoming similar, because Mr Starmark here, who is the Prime Minister obviously of UK, he's not had a good month we'll say, but he's been in the term I think about six months or a year, and there's been a lot of bad headlines, unpicking the wrong people for the jobs, the latest one being Peter Mandelson, who came to light, was involved with Jeffrey Epstein, and I think he was mentioned in the birthday book as well, so that's been a bit of a scandal, and then yesterday he said, oh I didn't know anything about his involvement with Epstein, and then later in the day, it's in the..."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T06:21:15+00:00","id":39349,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39348,"text":" I think he's taken a reset.

But he's not a politician. That's my opinion but that's kind of the way it is. As a result of these two main parties being a bit of a flop at the moment, the Reforum UK asked them to really gain ground right across the UK I think, including Scotland. We have a similar issue here with the SNP party which is the Scottish National Party. And it was all for independent Scotland who all arrested but lately the leadership of that party has gone downhill as well. The big fighters in that party have left. There was obviously Nicola Sturgeon, Alex Salmons and all of those big players that set up that SNP party and made it a household name. A lot of them have gone by the wayside and again there isn't really any charismatic leaders we'll see in Scotland by the way. So this is probably partly why the Reforum UK is starting to build ground. Plus there's a lot of pieces of news on immigration and immigration policy in the UK. It's been a bit of an open door, you know, letting everybody in but we're reaching a point where the system is just getting overloaded with hospitals, housing and all the rest of it. I think there does have to come a time when they have to say no but it's not happened yet and I think this is partly why the Reforum UK again is gaining ground here in the UK. But it's been interesting watching the rallies and watching them gaining more and more momentum. But whether they'll make it to government, I don't know. They've still got two years at least till a general election so it'll be interesting to watch and see. Back to you there, three in the net.

It's going a lot better today than it did yesterday. About a week ago I found water in my basement and I put out in some, not a lot of water, but maybe in the little closet where I keep my water heater, maybe a quarter of an inch of water. I put down some towels and pretty well cleaned it up. So I thought, oh man I got to get a water heater. So I called the plumber down here in the neighborhood and with $1,700 for him to come out and change it. I've changed a couple of water heaters in my life myself. You got two electrical connections, two water connections, and the price of the water heater, home base I think used to have them for two or three hundred dollars. I don't know. Maybe water heaters have doubled, probably the tariff or something. I don't know. But I was down there checking it. It kind of turned dry and I was standing there looking at my water filters and all of a sudden I saw a drip. Oh my god, this is wonderful. The filters are leaking, not my water heater. So just drop about every 30 seconds or so. I didn't, you know, it was so slow you didn't really notice it. Anyway, so I've got a plumber friend coming over today. He's going to check things out. We've been here about 10 to 12 years. Well, I might change the water heater anyway, but he won't charge me $2,000 to change it I'm sure. And then I went to Dennis. So I had a sore tooth and I don't know what it is, bone loss or something. He said he couldn't do a root canal on it and so the only thing is to pull it. So we'll have to see. Anyway, a root canal is probably over $1,000 to pull them. I don't know what that is these days. I had a little filling done months or so ago and it was $750. I tell you everything's expensive, but at least it's nice to know that I don't have to replace that water heater if I don't have to.

This is KC2PKT. My son bought the house, I don't know, five years ago. No, more like six or seven years ago. And he's got an electric hot water heater. It's the only thing in what we call the basement, which is really just a hole full of dirt in the ground and that water heater. And the problem with water heaters is there's no indicator saying I'm about to blow or I've got a problem, except when you see water underneath them. So that's always a pain. So my rule of thumb is if it's older than 10 years, time to look at a new one. Because they can be dangerous. They can be really dangerous when they go. But if you keep up with it, they have a valve, an emergency valve on the top that you should bring in a bucket and put that under the outflow and then press that handle every once in a while just to clean it all out. Because if that won't release, you can get into real trouble. But good ones are leaking. That's interesting. I've got filters. This is the first house I've had with water filters in it. And I have to get better at changing them. But we'll see. We'll see going forward. Good luck with that. And that too, yeah, sometimes it's just simpler to pull it. And I don't think it's as expensive to pull a tooth as it is to get a root canal. I mean, it's not that big a deal for the dentist. All right. So we've got those.

But myself, I was pro-independence and the vote in 2016 was very much on a knife edge and I was devastated. I have to say that we didn't go independent. I think for me the turning point was probably on the EU referendum. Scotland actually voted to stay in the EU but we were taken out of the EU because the rest of the UK voted to come out. I really think that was a bad decision to leave the EU because I think we were better in the EU. We had obviously more power. The EU was a big load of countries together and I always think countries work better working together even though I'm often offended. I don't get that.

If I can get them to load it into my van, I can bring it home and then my friend, a plumber, I'm sure he'll put it in for me for cheap. But boy, I tell you, went to the dentist and my regular dentist, they took one x-ray and it was $180. Then I went to the specialist to see about this tooth. He had a fancy electric thing that kind of went around my head. Anyway, that was $430. I felt good about it because I'm not going to probably do a root canal. I'm 83. I figure if I have to lose a tooth, it's no big deal. At least I don't have a policy like my dad did. Anyway, I tell you, everything is expensive. My plumber friend is coming over this afternoon. We'll see how it goes. I've got to go do my rehab this morning. It's going to be another busy day. It's going to be about 80 degrees, I think, today here on Sherwood Forest. KB7PVW, backing up.

If you do decide on a new water heater, think about an instant on or on-demand hot water heater. They're more expensive up front, but they're very, very cheap to run. That's the only thing I put in now. And they last. They last, and they last, and they last, and they last. That's a good thing to have. Anyway, 73, you have a great day.

And grandma was feeling a little bit better and I really, really hope she's more on the mend now because she's just been struggling for so long with this cold. But we did get out. We took the local trolley. For those of you who are able to see it, I'm going to put a link to it in the chat. But it's a trolley that runs free of charge between our town really and the neighboring town and it's a collaborative effort. We do a lot with this. Between the two towns they collaborate on a lot. The internet I have is a collaboration between them. None of the big companies would come in and lay fiber so these two towns collaborated and made it happen. They contracted to have the fiber laid down and they run their own high speed internet. So it's a small example of what you can sometimes do with that kind of cooperation.

I don't like the new fights. You know this Jake guy makes these fake fights but this was a really good fight. There was like three previews and then the main person, the main fight and I spent all afternoon watching the fight on Netflix. So anyway, it was in Las Vegas in this big old auditorium.

I got the new one, the new COVID thing and so by the time I got home to the store it was too hot to take the dog for a walk.

So most of the big things have gone away, so I got a few other things that are lingering, and hopefully they'll clear up soon or, well I'm gonna go nuts. Anyway, you know that Joe guy, KK7Z, you know he really gets me angry, very very angry. Tells me, you know, his retired life here, he can't do things the following day unless he preps it up the day before. You know, gives me this whole big story, and so what does he do? Goes bicycling for, can't go kayaking, but does 47 miles. You know, and then he says he just doesn't have the energy he used to whenever I talk to him. Well, you know, in the time that it took him to do 47 miles on his bicycle, I think I got out of bed. That Joe guy, I swear, that Joe guy. Anyway, we got to take my mom to the doctor's today. She went to the doctor's last week, and her dementia is pretty much on the final stages there, so we're going to see some other doctors because apparently she's heading towards the end of life stages. So, however, I kind of disappeared the doctor because she's doing pretty good, but there are things that she's doing during the day that are markers that are symbol or signs of end of life. So, we'll see what happens, but I think she's going to be here for a little bit longer than he thinks because my mom is a very strong lady, so we'll see what happens. But anyway, I've met not much going on. The dogs are, well, my pups are the pups, and they are very active. They got us up at like two o'clock in the morning and wanted to play, so we ended up getting up at about two o'clock, and we stayed up till about 4.30.

I didn't even check in and you called on me, how nice. Well, good morning to you, Gail, and good morning to everyone else on the worldwide friendship net for a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful Thursday morning. It must be, excuse me, about 79, 80 degrees going up to mid 80s, but it's wall to wall sunshine and it's a glorious day. I'll tell you why it's so glorious in a minute. First off, I wanted to mention that in your prelude, you mentioned Springdale, Ohio. I think you might have meant Springfield, Ohio, but that's what I usually do. I usually give kudos to our King and our leader at the beginning of my check-ins. But, yeah, I wanted to say, oh yeah, I think there's, I'm not sure if it's true or not, but I read a story this morning where Robert Redford had passed away at 89 yesterday. I'm not sure if that's true, you never know what to believe, right? You read it, but it could be true and maybe not. But anyway, yeah, cool start to the day. I wanted to mention that I am not absolutely sure whether I've got the net control duty tomorrow or if it's KT7JOE since we've been kind of out of our normal schedule. But yeah, I've been absent for the last four or five days because, you know, when you're in such severe pain, it's really hard to be social. I hate to put it that way, but really it's amazing how your mind can be affected by your health and vice versa. But I did get some good news when I was checking or when I was listening to the first couple of check-ins. My phone rang and it was the South Carolina pain and, what was it, pain and, what is it, pain and management or something like that. Anyway, yeah, I got a call from the doctor this morning saying they'll get me in at three o'clock on Thursday and give me a cortisone shot. I'm looking forward to that because the reason why I was so not feeling sociable is that the other day, last week, I went to the doctor, pain and pain management, and he looked at my MRI and said, yeah, I think you need another surgery. When my L3, L2, 3 and 4 were fused with rods and screws, and all of a sudden my new MRI says that it's L2 that's out of whack and the nerves are bulging.

And this morning my granddaughter called me up and wanted to know if I could come down and get her dog or sit with him. She had to go to the emergency room. I'm not sure for what exactly, but so I had to run down there and pick up her big shepherd and I brought him up home here to be with me. So anyway, he's here sitting in the chair in the living room.

It can't get in her mouth, it can't get in her nose, it can't get in her eye, but yet she's got to rub it on there twice a day.

I think well gee I put in a couple water heaters in my day. You got two electrical wires and a couple plumbing pipes. How could it cost $2,000 for you know, gee, maybe water heaters with the tariffs have gone up to who knows over $1,000 or something. I could probably change one in a half hour myself but at age 73 I just I'd rather have the pros do it but anyway I was standing in there I went down later and the floor was pretty much dry I didn't notice anything. Yesterday I went down and there was a small puddle there and I was standing there with the light on and I saw a drip and oh that's coming from the filters not the water heater. I got two filters that go to go to our refrigerator water and oh this is great maybe if I just change those filters and tighten it up there won't be any new for a water heater. Anyway I went to Dennis I had a tooth that was hurting a little bit and I guess I went I had to go to my regular Dennis that was $180 then I went over to the specialist that was $430 and he said he couldn't really do a root canal on it it was broken or something and so maybe I'll just have it pulled I don't at my age I don't think I'm going to need it but anyway I thought what I thought was going to be a big hit to the old fund I think I'm going to be okay with it.

Yeah, I don't know, keeping my fingers crossed that work isn't too bad today. Hopefully I don't have very many residential deliveries. I'm a local truck driver. I deliver freight.

And it doesn't always go so easy. And I swear, half the people that order freight don't have any way to get it into their house. Because it arrives on a pallet and a lot of these people have steps and no way to get, no flat ground or no driveway in the city. And have no idea how they're supposed to get their stuff up there and we don't, you know, unpack it and carry it up for them. We just drop the freight. So, residentials can get quite tough, to say the least. So, don't always have them, but I don't know, I've got a feeling today I might have a few. Other than that, I don't know, I'm going to go home after work and maybe draw on the computer, do some art that I can cut out on my plasma and maybe add to my Etsy. I don't know, we'll see.

Yeah, we've got the heat. The wave is back at the lake here too. We're supposed to get into the...by tomorrow we're going to be back up in the mid 80s again. We're supposed to get about 77 today. We had 48 degrees overnight. That's the coldest overnight temperature we've had since June. So it was kind of chilly last night. Let's see, you totally threw me by running the Columbia Basin Net last night. I was so confused that I almost made a real faux pas. Well, I did but I was trying to contact Rebecca and if Rebecca is listening, I can give her the message over the air while I tell you my story. But anyway, you and Brian switched and so I'm thinking, well, this is... I didn't know what day it was like it happens often when we're retired. And so at about three, two minutes before seven o'clock, I tried to call Rebecca, KK7IJZ. And fortunately she didn't answer because I was thinking, well, this is what is this video? No, there's nothing. I'm not going to interrupt anything on the repeater if I put on a call. And the Seattle ACS Net started just after I said, you know, that I was clear. And I felt so foolish about that. But I've been wondering about Lloyd. I sent Lloyd, AG7 Charlie X-ray, an email and did not hear anything. He did not respond at all. So now that he's over here on this side of the hill in Springdale, I was trying to get a hold of him so we could get together for lunch or something. So if Rebecca checks in and she has any knowledge of Lloyd, that would be great. So anyway, that's all that's going on here, Bill. 730 is back to you. This is Jim. Jane's at her retreat. So I just said, this is Jim at Dear Lake, K7, TDZ. All right, thank you, Jim. Yeah, that was unusual. That's the first time I've done a Monday net. I guess I swapped one other time with somebody and did like a Thursday net or something. But the swap went end of the week for the other. And it was pretty much felt the same. That was interesting. Same check-ins and such. And everybody, or most everybody recognized that I was doing the Monday net. So now I got a break while Brian does my net on Friday. And the reason I did the whole thing, nicely did, the reason I did the whole thing was because of Shannon Run coming up this weekend. So anybody that can get on the HF bands, Salmon Run, great contest. It's a QSO party for the state of Washington. And it's called Salmon Run. Why not? And yeah, one of the goals is to work all 39 counties. That's always what I try to do. Get a clean sweep of all 39 counties. But you can also work anybody else, the X station, Scout Extra, the states, anybody in any state, fair game. And it's just a fun weekend contest. So I always do that for years. And that's why we swapped. Brian's very active with it also, but he's from home. And I'm going to, well, at least the plan was I'm going to be with a club up in Wacom County, but with our club going up there. But I'm not sure that's going to happen. But I'll be on from up there. Okay, enough of that. And let's see, that brings us to the end of the current list.

Anyway, this is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning. More check-ins, please. Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta, Michael. The hotel, this is Bill.

This is Whiskey Alpha 7 Alpha Delta Michael here just near downtown Kirkland. Had a beautiful day out I think it's about 62 now. Was down to 55 nice and cool last night. Went to the Grand Sons. Football game started at 7. Kathy's at a form at our house. We play Southwest so we're shorts. Fortunately I had a down vest in the car and stuff. I got a little cold. Well the game ended at 9. But they won. He's just turned 15 and he's 6'3\", 205 pounds I guess now. They got him playing both ways and it's a workout for him. I don't think he's ever worked this hard in his life. And they won though. It's a JV team. So he's a freshman. And Kathy went and died after a stay and had to get a shot in her eye because she has this little problem. It's not too bad and she was suffering a little bit last night but she's okay now. Oh the big event in the middle of the night is smoke alarms started going off at about 11.30. Got up and couldn't forget. They're all interconnected so they're all making noise. And so I kept on going around and I thought I figured it out but it went off and T30 went back on again. So this time I got off and got the ladder. I checked and sure enough one was going red. So I took it down and got on the computer, checked Go Planet AI and got some good instructions. So now I'll go work on that. See whether I need a new one. If I do it's only two years old. The monitor spoke alarms are interconnected. I'm going to drop for a second."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T09:29:08+00:00","id":39560,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39559,"text":" And they have a 10 year life.

I've got some tests I can do. And that'll be my project. And if it's close to get up to over the 88 I was reading today, I can't believe that. It's a 30 degree increase. More than that from night to day which is huge. So I don't know if there's an east wind in Chinook or what. But they have a red flag alert out. Really dry and fire warnings. So we'll see. Hopefully no fires. Pray for that. So that's about it for here Bill. Thanks for on the great net. And you get to hear the other Bill. He's out here in Redmond somewhere.

Nothing like having the fire alarm go off in the middle of the night. Boy, what a rude awakening. That's not nice at all. I bet that happened around here, but not in the middle of the night, thankfully. You know, they're supposed to have a ten year life, but if you read the fine print, there's some maintenance you're supposed to do on them to make them last that long, primarily vacuum them out. But I haven't figured out how you vacuum them out, other than just running a vacuum around the perimeter of the thing. Maybe that's enough, but it makes me nervous doing that. And it collects dust, and the dust sets the alarm off, I guess. Anyway, we've replaced ours a lot less than ten years, and probably we'll do it again. But we've got fairly new ones up right now.

K8H7VIH here. You know what's more inconvenient than a smoke alarm going off in the middle of the night? A smoke alarm not going off in the middle of the night when it should, because the batteries weren't replaced or the system has failed. That's really inconvenient. Hi, hi. What's going on today? We are in between projects. We got a call last Saturday night from our rent house. The delightful people, good friends that live there, their son and daughter were left home alone. He is 22, so he's not exactly a kid. A call that said that the toilet had backed up into the shower, not good. We called Roto-Rooter out there and $13,000 later we had the problem solved. Not really happy with that kind of price for that, but that's what you have to pay apparently. Plumbers are expensive. They get paid right next to rocket scientists nowadays. A reading of the paper how college graduates are having trouble getting jobs, but plumbers are not. They're in short supply, so this is the nature of the economy. Our own house is going to have new gutters put on after, I guess the house is 35, 38 years old and it's time for new gutters. No, we're not getting the curved over or the capped kind. We're going to get ordinary gutters. They're cheaper and they also get clogged, so we're not going to do that either. Ham related stuff, still keeping track of the Windlink system here at the house. We've moved it from the fire station. We've got a meeting this Wednesday, that's tomorrow. We'll discuss the latest status of the Ares team here in Redmond and try to reformulate our responsibilities and duties and relationships with the city, if any. And that's on the calendar.

You can also do it for only $10 if you have already set up a CORS account with the FCC. I have set up a CORS account but I'm not sure that it's linked to my firm yet so I've got to check on that because my mind comes up for renewal in 2026 sometimes so I've got to be thinking about that for next year or so. But anyway, this is pretty, the directions are very thorough and very, this is a neat website and it's got everything right there in one place. K7PZ.

Thought I figured out what it was but it went off and then it went off at 230. And I went around and I got the step light on and one of them was flashing a red light.

Next thing you know, you're waking up. The table you lay on, the underneath side where your back is, it's like you're laying on a little waterbed. And then they got a machine that goes in there, and it just kind of blasts through your system. They got an x-ray that looks up where the kidney stones are. Put an X on it, you go bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam, bam. I guess it's quite loud. I know when I went in for a CAT scan, I think it was, that machine was awful loud when they were hammering you with that. The gal says multiply that times, too. They have to wear actual headphones when they do that. It's so loud. So anyhow, that's the story on that. But otherwise, in, out, done. I highly recommend it if you ever have kidney stones. Hopefully you don't have them where you're bent over like a feces. But feces, what is it? Baby, yeah. All bent over like a little baby. Then they don't have to physically go in. But if you go in and you got a urologist that's really good and sees, hey, you've got a kidney stone here. We better keep an eye on it. Just asking, hey, can we shoot it now while it's small?

I hadn't been back home in Texas in August in 30 years. I hadn't forgotten what it was like. I remembered it instantly. But yeah, I'm going back again in October. And my dad's 93. So I'm going to be going back and forth to Texas for a while. Hopefully a long while. But yeah, so I was sitting here thinking when he was. I already forgot his name and fell before me.

But I was sitting out in my shack looking something up on the internet, and all of a sudden I looked over and there's this big fat pregnant mama raccoon standing in the door of the shack just looking at me. And I'm like, hello, what do you want? And I just happened to have some peanuts with me. So I gave her a couple peanuts, and she was very grateful and she toddled off. And then the next night I happened to be in the backyard about the same time just before sunset, and she came back. I gave her more peanuts. Well, that started a tradition. Every night just before, just after sunset, she came by for some peanuts. Then in July she quit coming for a couple weeks, came back, she wasn't pregnant anymore. Sorry about that. Let her drop on accident. So I gave her some more peanuts a couple times, but she didn't come as frequently because clearly she had a litter to take care of. And then when I got back from Texas, I sat out there a few nights every night about that time, and she wasn't coming back. And I thought, oh, she just figured I wasn't reliable anymore and she's not going to come back. And then a couple nights ago, I looked over and there was this big raccoon butt bumbling away from me. And behind her were three other little raccoon butts bumbling away from me. And I couldn't get my phone fast enough, but fortunately my security cam caught it, and I got footage of them over on the side of the house. So that was fun. I got to see her and her babies, and it was very exciting for me. I love critters. Anyway, that's all I got. I went on way too long. I'll talk to you guys later. KG7, QQL. Comment. All right, hold on there. Comment. I think that was Michael. All right, well, Beach, thank you very much for the baby story and the mama raccoon. That is cute.

Thank you very much for coming by. It's been a couple of days, I know that, but you are always busy like the rest of us. Anyway, nice to meet you today. Hey, what MDR? Let's pick it up with Mike. Hey Mike, what's going on this afternoon? Good morning, evening, or afternoon, whatever it is for wherever you are. This is killing MDR. Yeah, I don't have much going on today. It's just another day starting work here at Sound Transit, fixing some trains so you all can enjoy riding them. At least if you're in the Puget Sound area here. My critter report is the nine little kittens that I have are doing absolutely wonderful. They are starting to eat regular food. In fact, I had breakfast in bed. My daughter made me a little sausage sandwich. I had a crumb of it sitting on my plate when the kittens were on the bed with me. I ran over, sniffed it, didn't pay much attention to it, came back a minute later, sniffed it again, and gobbled it. Next thing you know, that kitten is climbing up on me trying to get the rest of my sandwich. Apparently this kitten likes sausage. I had to eat the sandwich before I got mugged by nine little kittens that wanted the sandwich. The little guys are doing good. They're learning how to use the litter box. They're doing not perfect, but they're doing pretty good with that one. They're only about a month old, so I'm not going to get mad at them for any of that. They're still learning. They're a lot of fun. And let's see here. Radio Wires, I still haven't heard from Yesu. I'm hoping to hear from them here soon about getting my new WiresX account set up. Last night I was also looking into what I have to do for dealing to work, and I'm totally confused on that one. I'm not quite getting it, so I'll need to read a little bit more up on how to do that. But aside from that, I'm going to be fixing trains here in a few minutes. This is K1 MDR. Alright, well it certainly sounds challenging with nine kittens walking around and raising a sausage and going after your sausage sandwiches and everything. Hey, what do you do on the rowing stock though? That really piques my curiosity. Are you mechanical, electrical? What is your range of duties? Or are you one of those jack of all trades and you do the entire thing maybe? Well, I am a jack of all trades, but unfortunately I can't do that with this job. So with this job, I am an electromechanic is the official title, which means I work on the light rail vehicles themselves. I don't work with the track. I don't work with the overhead. I just work with the little train sets. And I do anything and everything that needs to be fixed, maintained, or repaired. Whether it be just doing a preventative maintenance job like I did last night. I was fixing the doors. Well, I had to fix a couple of them, but mainly just doing the preventative maintenance and making sure everything works the way it's working. The parts that are supposed to be greasy are greasy and the parts that are not are not. You know, that kind of thing. But when something breaks, I get to repair it on just the light rail vehicle itself. So yeah, anything and everything that needs to be done. And though around the house, I'm a jack of all trades, so I never have to call anybody when I need my plumbing fixed or a new light socket put in. I just get out and go get the parts I need and do it myself. My name is K1MDR."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T12:23:20+00:00","id":39642,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39641,"text":" So with the Link light rail trains we have 151 of the Siemens train sets and each of these train sets can operate independently or in a group of up to four.

I don't work on those very often. Most of those are over in Bellevue and I'm working on the Seattle side and we only have like eight of them over here.

Rebecca was running the net yesterday and we were going over the past and I was transitioning from the repeater to Echolink and Pam was handling all the logistics.

The food arrived cold, they made some more, but they didn't hear the fact that both items were cold. So disappointed. And the usual staff, the guys that almost recognized me by name, were gone. So this place has turned over in a not so fortunate way. So going home to work on the memoir, that's what's on the calendar for today. I went over to Habitat Humanity to drop off the sinks that are probably reusable to some extent. And I know the fixtures are, they're not fancy, but they are certainly usable.

I'm up here in southeast Evert, near Silver Lake, working at my friend's house. A little plumbing project. There was a leaking pipe going out to the hose out by the garage.

And I have to replace some copper pipe, which I'm almost done with. I'm about an hour behind. I'm a member of the Measure Once Cut Three Times Club, so it doesn't help that I don't have a proper pipe cutter or that I don't have a vise. So me and the hacks are hacking our way through this project. The other little complication is that the water shut off, which is on the garage floor just directly below working, does not quite shut the water all the way off. So it's dripping, which isn't going to help my soldering much. I do not have the special tool required to turn off the water at the curb. In fact, I don't even see where the little curb things are for that. So I don't know. But in any case, I'm about three quarters way through this job. It's going moderately well.

I had kind of a longish day at work, and I thought, around 5 o'clock, I'm going to get out of the house here, ride the bike a little bit. That didn't happen till closer to 6. So I was riding around, doing some things, grabbed a few groceries, ran a couple door dashes for the fun of it. Good times. But did not pay attention to my reminder on my phone to check in to the Monday night check-in mat. John coming up behind me, good to hear him, and great to hear Chris as well. John strikes me as a very wise man. I've never, ever heard him double on a check-in. He's just very patient. Good on you, John. Hope that guitar's coming along good. And I guess one of the things that's really, really fascinating to me is how the logistics work for those airline crews. It's really neat to hear Matt share some of those things, WQI. I'm guessing, I don't know. He said he's arriving on United, but I thought he did not work for United. So he's probably non-revving there somehow. But I could talk for hours to those people. I've always wanted to also watch the process. They call it, at least on the pilot side, I'm sure it's not too dissimilar for the crew side, they call it bidding. And so these pilots, they bid for the jobs and the groups of jobs that are grouped together for them to go fly."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T13:04:34+00:00","id":39719,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39718,"text":" I understand that their bids are taken in order of seniority.

I'll start off as usual with the phases of the moon. Let's see, we had a full moon back on the 7th, had a last quarter moon on the 14th, got a new moon coming up on the 21st, and we've got a first quarter moon coming up on the 29th. And just an early report, been watching the moon in the early morning hours, actually after sunrise, you see the moon over towards the west. It's been clear in some spots and it's kind of neat to see the moon during daytime hours. So if you do get a chance to see that, always interesting to watch out for the moon. Actually got a quick bulletin on the moon later on. We're going to talk a little bit about the moon and the sun this evening for the bulletin. The moon was at perigee, its closest approach to the Earth this month, back on the 10th. It was 226,652 miles from Earth. The moon will be at apogee, its farthest point away from the Earth this month. On the 26th, it will be 251,996 miles from Earth. Planetary highlights for September. September's sky is rich with opportunities. Titan's shadow continues to transit past Saturn. The ringed planet reaches opposition along with Neptune with both worlds in the same region of the sky. Mars is descending towards solar conjunction. Uranus is a fine binocular target while Jupiter dominates the early morning. Venus starts the month near M44, when M inches closer to a conjunction with Regulus and the crescent moon.

Mercury was at superior conjunction back on the 13th, meaning that it was on the opposite side of the sun than we are, on the back side of the sun on that day. So after conjunction, Mercury has returned to the evening sky, setting about 718 pm. Just a second, let's pull up some other information here. That is actually very, very close to sunset, so it will be very, very difficult to spot Mercury. So, let's see, Mercury is setting about 12 minutes after the sun, so it's going to be very, very difficult to spot. It's way too close to the sun right now to spot for another week, week and a half, at least, maybe two weeks. Mercury is visible about 30 minutes after sunset during the evening the last week of the month. Mercury moves from the constellations of Leo and Debergo, shining at magnitude minus 1.3 on the first. We've got Venus. Venus is rising about 4.20 am this week. Look for Venus to the east and southeast about an hour or so before sunrise. Venus moves from the constellations of Leo, shining at magnitude minus 1.5. Okay, again, a quick tutorial on magnitudes. The greater the magnitude, the dimmer the object by a factor of about 2.5. The dimmest object that the human eye can see is about 6. So any magnitude is greater than 6, you will not be able to see with your naked eye. Any magnitude less than 6, you should be able to see with your eyeball under optimum conditions. That's the best I can do here in the Denver area. It's about 4th magnitude, anything greater than that. There's just too much city light reflecting. City lights, street lights, house lights, things like that. It just ruins my nighttime viewing."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T18:21:12+00:00","id":39787,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39786,"text":" So that just means I'm jealous of all of those, all of you guys that live out in the country and can see the night sky without the city lights obstructing your view.

The autumnal equinox is beginning of autumn for the Northern Hemisphere and springtime in the Southern Hemisphere. Actually spring has already started officially down south of the equator. The equator had started on the 1st of September. That's how they work there. The seasons are the first of the particular months of equinoxes and solstices.

It is setting about 8.20pm in the evening. So, look for Mars very low to the west about 30 minutes after sunset. Mars is in the constellation of Virgo shining at magnitude 1.6. We got Jupiter. Jupiter is rising about 1.25am this week. Look for Jupiter to the south in the early morning hours before dawn. So, I have to give it several hours before you can actually see Jupiter. Fairly high. Oh, 2.30, 3am. I'll look towards the southeast a little bit later than that. I'll look towards the south. Jupiter is in the constellation of Gemini shining at magnitude minus 2.0. And we got Saturn. We'll be at opposition on the 21st. That's this weekend rising as the sun sets. Saturn is now rising about 7.20pm in the evening. Look for Saturn low to the east in the late evening.

So that's a little after midnight here in Colorado. And take a look at Saturn. You may be able to see tight, tight shadow transiting the planet. And you may be able to see a very, very thin, almost edge-on ring system of Saturn. So that's very early on the morning of the 20th. Saturn is in the constellation of Pisces, shining at magnitude 0.6. And then we've got Uranus. Uranus is now rising about 10 PM this week. What for Uranus for the Southeast is a very late evening, well, midnight. Uranus is in the constellation of Taurus, shining at magnitude 5.7, so it's towards the Southeast. You know, some of these planets in the late evening, they'll plan on taking up, except for Mars, of course, you're not going to have to take that soon after sunset. We've got Neptune at opposition as well on the 23rd, rising as the sun sets. Neptune is rising about 7.20 PM this week. Look for Neptune low to the east late in the evening. Within about one degree of Saturn, almost, Neptune is in the constellation of Pisces, shining at magnitude 7.7. So that's a solid seven magnitudes dimmer than Saturn. So take a look at that comparison. Within one degree is about two full moon widths. And you'd be looking, oh, kind of, let's see, kind of towards the, almost at the nine o'clock position of Saturn soon after it rises. So if you're looking at Saturn, definitely try to see if you can spot Neptune. You just have to move slightly to your left to see Neptune."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T18:29:18+00:00","id":39790,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39789,"text":" In a telescope, you might be able to see some banding with Saturn. You might be able to see its ring and like I said the transit of Titan coming up as well. Neptune is going to look like a blue dot with a little bit of green in it. It's kind of a greenish blue dot just to the left of Saturn. But you'll see a discernible diff as opposed to a pinpoint when you look at stars. So definitely get your binoculars or telescope out and see if you can spot those two planets. Luckily they're fairly early in the evening. You don't have to stay up too late to spot them. This is KI0AR net control for the Colorado Astronomy Net continuing. Oh, let's see. Continuing on with dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is rising about 9 o'clock in the evening this week. Ceres can be spotted low to the south near midnight when it is highest in the sky. Ceres is in constellation of Venus shining at magnitude 7.8. We've got Pluto rising in the late afternoon. You can move it from 4 to 5 pm. The best time to spot Pluto will be in the late evening when it is also highest in the sky to the south. That will definitely be around midnight. Pluto is in the constellation of Cappacorna shining at magnitude 15.2. Maybe about between 11 and midnight from Pluto. But you'll definitely need some dark skies and a large telescope to spot Neptune, Ceres and Pluto."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T18:32:35+00:00","id":39791,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39790,"text":" Meteor showers are active in September, so we enter a bit of a lull after the excitement of August. Meteoric dust from thousands of comets passing over the eons is visible before dawn as the zodiacal light as sunlight reflecting off the dust creates a faint glow. You'll need a very dark eastern horizon with no street lights nearby. Higher elevations get a better view too. The zodiacal light appears as a faint cone-shaped glow aligned with the ecliptic. On September mornings, well before dawn, the high angle of the ecliptic benefits of it. The broad face of the glow is in Leo as that constellation rises and narrows higher in the sky through Cancer and Gemini. Catch it on moonless nights in the third and fourth week of September for the darkest skies. This excerpt is from Astronomy magazine September 2025 page 29. So, definitely look forward to seeing you again soon. After the new moon, after the 21st, you may be able to catch a very thin sliver before that. So this weekend you may want to start looking for that zodiacal light in the early a.m. hours. You do have a comet, comet C 2024e1, which is passing through the constellation of Corona Borealis high to the west in the evening. Mid-months will be the easiest time to allow this monster comet shining around 12th to 10th magnitude and 8th scope or greater. And dark skies will be good to view it. So get out those big scopes and see if you can find that little comet. We got a partial solar eclipse coming up on the 21st. This eclipse is visible from New Zealand plus a thin strip of Australia's eastern coast of various Pacific islands and parts of Antarctica. So if you're traveling south, you may want to check that out. You'll have the longest lunar eclipse occurred since 2022. We had that back on the 7th.

Okay, Tony, if you're looking with binoculars, definitely get out there and just scan the skies. One thing that I have found interesting, Tony, while looking through binoculars into the New Ignite sky, just kind of point them just a little bit above the horizon, if you've got clear skies, and look through the binoculars and then count how many satellites will pass through your field of vision over the space of 10 minutes. You will be surprised at the number of satellites that go through your field of view, even at a low angle. And then just move it around and look at the stars and the stars and just point it out there. Tremendous number of satellites. It used to be, when I started in astronomy, seeing a satellite was a very rare occurrence in the night sky, especially one that would pass through your field of view, either through a telescope or binoculars. Now it's just, well, I'll reserve some of my opinion for that, but I kind of say horrible. Just seeing so many satellites up there. It's kind of neat, but it's horrible and the same for those of us who are observational stars. Now I'll hop off my soapbox and get into ISS passes.

I've got a couple of quick bulletins from science.nasa.gov. Weird ways to observe the moon. This is dated September 15. International observe the moon night is on October 4, 2025 this year. You can observe the moon whenever it's up day or night. The telescopes certainly reveal incredible details of our neighbors. Bringing out dark seas, bright craters and numerous odd pictures and cracks. These tools are not the only way to observe details about our moon. There are more ways to observe the moon than you might expect just using common household materials. Put on a pair of sunglasses, especially polarized sunglasses. You may think this is a joke, but the point of polarized sunglasses is to dramatically reduce glare. And so they allow your eyes to pick out some lunar detail. Surprisingly, wearing sunglasses even helps during daytime observations in the moon. One unlikely tool is the humble plastic bottle cap. John Goss from the Roanoke Valley Astronomical Society shared these directions on how to make your own bottle cap lunar viewer which was suggested to him by Fred Schaff many years ago as a way to also view the thin crescent of Venus when close to the sun. The full moon is very bright so much that details are overwhelming by overwhelmed, excuse me, the full moon is very bright so much that details are overwhelmed by the glare. Here is an easy way to see more. Start by drilling a 1.16 inch or 1.5 millimeter diameter hole in a plastic soft drink bottle cap. Make sure it is an unobstructed round hole. Now, look through the hole at the bright moon. The image brightness will be much dimmer than normal, about 90% dimmer, reducing or eliminating any lunar glare. The image should also be much sharper because the bottle cap blocks light from entering the outer portion of your pupil while imperfections of the eye's curving obstacle path likely lie. Many report seeing a startling amount of lunar detail."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T18:50:58+00:00","id":39801,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39800,"text":" You can project the moon. Have you heard of a sun funnel? This is a way to safely view the sun by projecting the image from an eyepiece to fabric stretched across a funnel mounted on top. It's easy to make at home too. Directions are here at bit.li slash sun funnel. That's all one word. Depending on your equipment, a sun funnel can view the moon as well as the sun. A full moon gives off more than enough light to project from even relatively small telescopes. Large telescopes will project the full moon at its phases with varying levels of detail while not as crisp as direct eyepiece viewing. It's still an impressive sight. You can also mount your smartphone or tablet to your eyepiece for a similar moon viewing experience, but the funnel doesn't need batteries. Of course, you can join folks in person or online to celebrate our moon on October 4, 2025 with international Observe the Moon night. Find details at moon dot nasa dot gov slash observe.

This is from the HEXUS-7-7-7-7 laboratory dated September 15. NASA analysis shows the Sun's activity ramping up. It looks like the Sun was heading toward a historic lull in activity. That trend flipped in 2008, according to new research. The Sun has become increasingly active since 2008. A new study shows solar activity is known to fluctuate in cycles of 11 years, but there are longer-term variations that can last decades. Case in point, since the 1980s, the amount of solar activity has been steadily decreasing all the way up to 2008. When solar activity was the weakest on record, at that point scientists expected the Sun to be entering a period of historically low activity. But then the Sun reversed course and started to become increasingly active as documented in the study, which appears in the Astrophysical Journal letters. The trend, that researchers said, could lead to an uptick in space weather events, such as solar storms, flares and coronal mass ejections. All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activity, said Jamie Jastinski, a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, lead author of the new study. But it was a surprise to see that trend reversed. The Sun is slowly waking up. The earliest recorded tracking of solar activity began in the early 1600s when astronomers, including Galileo, counted sunspots and documented their changes. Sunspots are cooler, darker regions on the Sun's surface that are produced by a concentration of magnetic field light. Areas with sunspots are often associated with higher solar activity, such as solar flares, which are intense bursts of radiation and coronal mass ejections, which are huge bubbles of plasma that erupt from the Sun's surface and streak across the solar system."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T18:55:54+00:00","id":39803,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39802,"text":" NASA scientists track these space weather events because they can affect spacecraft, astronauts, safety, radio communications, GPS and even power grids on Earth. Space weather predictions are critical for supporting the spacecraft and astronauts of NASA's Artemis campaign. As understanding the space environment is a vital part of mitigating astronaut exposure to space radiation. Launching no earlier than September 23, NASA's IMAP, or Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration probe, and Carothers-Geocorona observatory missions, as well as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, SWMO-L1, or Space Weather Follow-On Lagrange-1 mission, will provide new space weather research and observations that will help to drive future efforts at the Moon, Mars and beyond. Solar activity affects the magnetic fields of planets throughout the solar system as the solar wind, a team of charts of bubbles flowing from the Sun, and other solar activity in trees. The Sun's influence expands and compresses maggiespheres, which serve as protective bubbles of planets with magnetic cores in magnetic fields, including Earth. These protective bubbles are important for shielding planets from the jets of plasma that stream out from the Sun in the solar wind. Over the centuries that people have been studying solar activity, the quietest times were the three-decade stretch from 1645 to 1750 and a four-decade stretch from 1790 to 1830. We don't really know why the Sun went through a 40-year minimum starting in 1790 to 1767. The longer-term trends are a lot less predictable and are something we don't completely understand yet."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T18:58:46+00:00","id":39804,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39803,"text":" In the two and a half decades leading up to 2008, spots in the solar wind decreased as much as our researchers expected at the deep solar minimum of 2008 to mark the start of a new historic low activity time in the past recent history. But then the trend of declining solar wind ended and since then plasma and magnetic field parameters have steadily been increasing since Jusinski, who led the analysis of heliospheric data publicly available in the platform called OmniWeb Plus, run by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. The data Jusinski and colleagues mined for the study came from a broad collection of NASA missions, two primary sources, ACE and the Advanced Competition Explorer, and the WIND mission launched in the 1990s and have been providing data on solar activity like plasma and energetic particles flowing from the sun toward Earth. The spacecraft belong to a fleet of NASA heliophysics missions designed to study the sun's influence on space, Earth and other planets. And that's it for that bulletin.

And I'm sure your cousin Rob will be happy to hear it as well. And yeah, that song definitely gets a lot of people. I think the story of it, you know, Harry Chapin was pretty, he had a couple songs with that, but the taxi song that he wrote, you know. Also had that, you know, I think had that ability to kind of hit people emotionally right there in the fields as they say. So yeah, thanks for your report, you know, great rest of your night, 73888, yep. Alright, gonna go next to Kirk, AEG 7YM, Kirk how are you tonight? Alpha Golf 7 Yankee Mike, I'm great today, I checked into the Mike and Keynote, maybe I was 100%. I thought I checked in with 2 watts, maybe I checked in with 10, I got 10 watts now. But at any rate, they were coming in strong today, sometimes of the year they just won't come in, it's really weird. And that Counts in the Cradle song, that is amusing, let's just say, yes, it's a tearjerker. And I don't know about the weather, it was scorching here, it was so hot. But it didn't matter because I was all cooped up in the house, I got my COVID shot today, and that put me down for the count. And you know, just when you think you got it bad, you gotta remember there are other people out there on the Mike and Keynote, W7PVE was telling me he got his COVID flu shot and rabies, and I don't know what other he said there, but he said he was sick for 4 days, I think he said, oh my goodness, that would be the worst. I've been getting myself vaccinated up the ying yang because I'm going to go to Malaysia later on, so I want to be ready for that, but wow, that COVID one is always a kicker.

And then it got, I was again glad to have air conditioning just for one, maybe one last day. But I think if you have the moderating influence of the Puget Sound, maybe that might bring the tent down. And yeah, sorry to hear you have the COVID shot take you down. I know a lot of people have that. I've been pretty fortunate. I was a little tired when they got the combo, the combo flu and COVID shot. I don't have a fake reaction as my wife Moxie does, and she'll feel it for several days. And then the injection point, she gets like, it gets really, really warm and what have you. So, but still be getting these diseases. And yeah, I just got the pneumonia shot for the first time.

Had the air conditioning running today most of the day. It doesn't have to run too much though because of the insulation here in these senior apartments is pretty good. Yeah, I had the squirrels come by, you know, did their usual bit of running around chasing each other. And then, you know, one would jump up on the railing there and grab some, start chomping on nuts. And then another one would jump up and look at them. He looked at him and then they, one day take off and run in chasing. And then, yeah, it was entertaining to watch those guys. Yeah, I was just doing some antenna simulations for a ZSW DK something. I can't remember the last one, DKW. It's like a son of a G5 RV. They took a G5 RV and then improved it. And so I'm doing a simulation and it's a pretty good antenna. Simulation not working too well, but I'll play it some more. And, you know, and the idea that this antenna, the ZS6-BKW is that it's not supposed to, it's good on four or six bands. So you don't need a tuner for that. But so far the simulations I haven't been able to get that even though I talked to one guy who had one. And indeed it is.

As TX2CW suggested that I lay it down in order to get the rest. So I'm going to try that. The only draw with this is that by the time I probably end up finishing, I am probably going to need an extra body to help lift it back up. It's going to be heavy by the time I'm done. And that's because of the side rails. When I got this thing, I thought it would be kid-like short. No, it's adult tall. It's a good thing I took shop class a long time ago. But still, this took me for a loop. But it'll get together and then I can put my shack equipment right on it. Yeah, that should be good. Otherwise, that's the scoop.

The Seattle Auxiliary Communication Service amateur radio licensing course and exam is coming this Saturday, September 20th, 9 a.m. through 4.30 p.m. at the Meadowbrook Community Center in Seattle. And if you know someone who is looking to get their amateur radio license, send them to the psrg.org website and they can find all the details about that, including a link to sign up and an email for additional questions. And aside from that, the next PSRG board meeting will be Saturday, October 11th at 11 at 1.30 p.m. on Zoom. And as always, anyone is invited to attend a comment. Only board members will vote. You'll find the Zoom link on the web page as we get closer to that. Finally, the next PSRG educational board meeting, I'm sorry, the next PSRG educational meeting, November 8th, satellites in the ISS. So that will be on Saturday, 1.30 as well on Zoom. And that will be presented by Mike Thomas, KB8, PMY. And that will go over how to work ham radio satellites using modest equipment with emphasis on operating the ISS. You can learn how to access the onboard repeater, APRS stitch repeater, and speaking with crew members, along with other satellite operating funnels. So, yeah, put that on your calendar and attend. All right, that's all I've got for announcements. So let's go back to the net and get some more stations.

I hope you're well on this lovely late summer evening. It's quite warm, I'm sitting in the shed and thinking I should turn the fan on actually. Yeah, I'm doing great tonight. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Mariners get their 10th win in a row, which was really cool. And seeing Cal Rolley hit two homers. So he passed Mickey Mantle for the most home runs from a switch hitter in a single season tonight. And then with his next one he tied Ken Griffey Jr. for the most homers in a Mariners season. So it's been really fun watching him. Anyway, that was cool. Other than that I've been doing a little noodling on the guitar and planning for recording some guitar tracks later this week. So I had a former bandmate of mine reach out and ask me to record some lead guitar on a project that he's working on. And I have not recorded much guitar stuff at our current house. Or at least not like the screaming loud lead guitar that he's kind of looking for on this. And my house is quite small. So logistically I have to do this when my wife and girls are out and about somewhere. And I think I have an opportunity to do that on Thursday. But then I'm trying to figure out where to do it in my house. And the room where all my amps and guitars, it's quite small. It's not going to work well. So I think when I record in the living room it has a really good natural \u2013 the room itself sounds wonderful for music. And I think it will be enough open space to get that just kind of interaction between guitar and amp that you can't really replicate it. It almost feels like the instrument starts to breathe and come alive. It's really fun. So I'm getting some ideas down for what I want to play. And then I think on Thursday I'm going to track some stuff. It's been a while like I said since I've done that. So I'm really looking forward to it. And it should be a lot of fun. Anyway, that's what's going on with me. I hope everyone is great out there enjoying the last little summer heat wave and whatnot.

Hopefully we're about done and then we'll all be missing it as soon as it's over. I mean, I kind of like the cool rain, even though I also like it not to be so dark so early. So, you can't always get everything you want, right? And I'm glad you're working that out, getting a chance to do some recording in your living room, finding a place with good acoustics. Rather than just kind of doing a DI, yeah, you want to get that, you know, you want to get some actual real sound out of your music. Music's about moving air, Matt. So, you want to be able to do that rather than just kind of have everything go right into the digital domain. So, glad to hear you're doing that and got us some opportunity to make that happen. And that's pretty exciting about the Mariners. That player, I missed the name of the player there, but I think he said he beat one record and matched another, so pretty exciting. And still plenty of time for Jake to beat that other record. So, alright, 7-3D Justin, have a great night. Alright, up next we've got Katie7PAK Gary. Good to hear from you, Gary.

Yeah, bees are doing fantastic this year, probably the best in 10 years. They're going to be going into winter with a really good population and plenty of honey to give them the calories they need to stay warm.

So that should hopefully quench that fire finally. That would be great because I know that Bear Gulch one is the one that's really been an issue over there on the peninsula. So always good to hear from you Gary. Alright, we have an I.O. from Peter. K.E.6.R.A.X. This is Paul. K7.P.J.P. 9 o'clock net. Up next we've got Doug. KF7. OK. Doug, please come ahead for the report. Thank you and thanks for hosting the net. KF7. OK. Doug near Linwood. All that's good here today is it's got a warm today. It's at 87 to 89 degrees. So I consider that to be pretty much the last day of summer. It'll be mild the next few days but the rains really start I think on Friday or so. So yeah, we're not going to see that kind of temperature or may not see that kind of temperature for probably till next year. You know, more than likely. So we'll see. The rains I guess it's about due. We start getting dry I think mid June or so. I think since we had climate change our dry period is a lot longer. I remember when the dry period used to be from mid July to probably just after Labor Day. And now it's longer than that. Anyway, I'm enjoying my new timer. I have a timer that I've used. Well it's not new, it's repurposed. What it is, it's an aviation timer I used to use a long time ago. And I'd have it with me when I was flying. And I no longer do that anymore. And so I was kind of thinking, you know, these repeaters they time out at three minutes. Mike and Key for a while timed out at two minutes. I guess they're now up to three. And so I took this thing out, put new batteries in it, and now when I'm on the repeater I hit the timer. I didn't do it now but I will in the future. And the clock on it I just set to UTC. So I thought, you know, this is great for ham radio rather than just have it sit in a drawer someplace. So anyway, that's my report.

Yeah, I think you're right. Probably our last day with those real summer temperatures. Hopefully we'll get some nice sunny, even if it's kind of cooler weather, though the fall can be a nice year. I'm glad I found a use for that timer. And I did not know that the mic and key repeater finally caved and went with the three-minute timer. Because I know they were kind of holding out for a long time there. So that's good to know. Because, yeah, if you've got it, I tend to use the time-out interval on the 3-dium to give me two minutes.

And with HF, you can do some pretty neat things, including do, depending on the radio, you can do, you can do TXing on, via SSD, even on 2 meters. Something to keep in mind. But I appreciate you stopping by, Ben. 738. Alright, 936 PM, this is Paul, K7PJP. Another round of check-ins that we've run through here. Pretty slow, I'm wondering if it's just the school restarting, or maybe the weather, or what have you. We've had quite a quiet net for sure on this repeater lately, at least in the evenings. Let's go ahead and get some more stations, call and name. This is K1MDR, leaving Seattle.

Mike, please come ahead. Good morning, good evening, good whatever it is, wherever you are. Hey, Florida, that's awesome. I love it out there. Would love to go live there again. Live there for about a year, two different times, thanks to the Navy. But anyway, just leaving work. I work in Seattle, live in the Tacoma area, and unfortunately I don't receive this repeater very well after I get around Federal Way, so I like to try to pop on as soon as I can, thank you for that. And I got a little quick report. My cat, it wasn't my cat, it became my cat again, at least my cat temporarily, had 10 kittens, of which 9 survived, and they're now about a month old, so they're learning how to eat solid foods, they're learning how to use the litter box, and they are running amok all over the place. They're absolutely adorable. And this morning I had about 5 of them sitting up on the bed with me. My daughter made me breakfast in bed, which was really cool of her to do. And as I was eating it, a crumb fell, a piece of sausage fell onto the plate, and one of the kittens decided that he was going to eat that, and oh boy, he sure did like that sausage, and he was trying to climb up me to get to the rest of my sandwich. And I had to eventually evict the kittens from the bed, because they were all after what I was eating, because they figured it was good for them to eat too. With my radios, I got a hold of the ye-su today, and they said that my issues I was having with the YRSX should be resolved, and in a few days I'll get my new account information, and soon I'll be good to go there. And that's about all I got tonight. So this is K1MDR returning back to net."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-16T21:47:04+00:00","id":39870,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":39869,"text":" All right, motor safely there.

And yeah, glad to hear Yesu is going to resolve your wires X issue for you. And that sounds adorable with those nine kittens. And yeah, they are cute. And they are, I can't imagine dealing with nine kittens at once. That is crazy. But I'm sure they, it sounds like they did enjoy that little bit of, that little taste of sausage that you gave them as an accidental treat there. And I'm sure you'll be able to find some of that for them. Kittens get snapped up pretty easily, I think. But yeah, thanks for stopping by. And yeah, I know what you mean in terms of also going to just go back to your signal there. I'm coming in for him to go up, and I've got some antenna up in the air. And it can be very tricky to get and receive signals, depending on where you are. I've actually got to get a roof-mounted antenna for FM and maybe, I guess, TV reception here to account for the fact that I'd like to be able to hear some of the local radio stations clearly here, so they're not going to be streaming. So yeah, motor safe. All right, going to go next to Jack, KI7RMU. Jack, how are you? Well, good evening, Paul. Jack here, KI7RMU. Sitting on the back deck. Wow, it's just such a gorgeous night. Stars aplenty. Plane coming to Sea-Tac. Oh, it's just amazing out here. Well, I had a couple of things here. Yeah, Mike, with the nine kittens, he reported in on the new net about that today, and the one can't get in the sausage bit. You know, with nine kittens, if you start now, Mike, you might become the world's greatest living cat juggler. I don't know if you remember that bit Steve Martin did in one of his movies years ago. That was pretty hilarious, yeah. And I can just see you juggling them off the bed as you get your breakfast in bed. That is a really sweet story there. Hey, but you know what, Paul? I've got to follow up on a report from Doug there, KF70K, and his increase in the three minute to three minute limit there on a Mike and Kee repeater. Now, I've not heard this at all until tonight. I've not heard this independently verified or confirmed by any operators. So I don't know. You might want to maybe put a call out and see if this is really true. This would be earth-shattering news. I'm still just amazed. I almost want to call Robert, the new president, and say, Robert, is this true? Is this really true? That would be amazing. So I don't know. I hadn't heard that anywhere, Paul. But anyway, I hope you're doing well. It's a gorgeous night out. Oh, I tell you, if you haven't gone out tonight, step outside your place and take a look. It is just a beautiful, beautiful night. Anyway, I'll hand it back to you there. Paul, say hi to Matt, Moxie, and oh, by the way, both you and Elaine in the one go there. That is pretty amazing. Both had recent birthdays.

So I brought that home and ate that later on. And they sang Happy Birthday to me, that was really neat. But anyway, today's a good day. Like the other gentleman who has nine cats, kittens, we have eight cats and one dog. They're just wonderful. They've really brightened up my life, believe me.

You can go to just having an SDR but listening somewhere else. And I don't have an HF, right? Or just have UHF and VHF so I don't really get to listen to much HF. I do have my own SDR, but it monitors a trunking repeater where I live. So, I don't really go on SDR++ with it as much. But yeah, it's pretty cool. It's quite interesting. My CN300 came in the other day and it's a little different. It's not really a amateur-friendly radio, but it does the work and I got what I wanted. And I'm liking it. It's just weird to get used to. And I bet you it's the same method any other radio you get. You don't like it, the fires are more, but the more you use it, the more you love it. And I think I'm also getting a repeater once I get my license upgraded. The only thing is I can't really mount a tenant on my roof, but I also don't use up electricity. But I do get a lot of sun where I live, but when there's snow, it's not really snow. I was thinking maybe getting it, running it off of solar. Just put some solar panels on the roof and got it into whatever solar or stock it needs. I could probably research it. Get it inspected and see how it turns out. I'm hoping that Elise found a course that's a friendly course that I like. I have the time to do it. And yeah, I should have done that, researching repeaters and possibly build one.

I updated it. I forgot the software, the number sign in my mind. Anyway, I updated the iPhone and that was all done this morning. And I bit the watch I think four times already. It's uploading again. It's downloading the software into the phone right now, I mean into the watch. But the second it finishes it's not going to accept it because it doesn't have enough room on the watch until I deleted all my music off the watch and there's no added applications on the watch. So there should be enough room. If not I'll just have to buy a new watch from Apple. That's probably what the whole thing is going to be like.

Yeah, hey, likewise. I know Chuck will be around. And I don't know. I just prefer to have my phone. You know, it's small. I have the headphones on. So I just prefer to do that. I don't know. I wouldn't want something like the watch. That's cool if you guys like it. I don't knock it for you guys. No, I just like my blind shell. So I'm on it now. Yep, and I have my music in it. I have a few books. I have a crap load of podcasts. I've got the iHeart and TuneIn. So for me, it's like, what more is there? I listen to stuff. I'm not much into all the other doodling and stuff that people do. So it's just an entertainment center for me. So there you go. Later on, when I go on the bus, because I've got to do some routines later in the afternoon, I've already kind of got a couple of podcasts that I'm sort of behind on that I'll be listening to.

That happens all the time in the wintertime. That don't happen with a watch because the watch goes on your wrist, so you're never going to lose it. You never miss a phone call either. That's the beauty of that thing. It's perfect. You could actually have a watch probably and have it work with your cell phone if you want. You might need an Apple cell phone. That's the problem. Yeah, you would have to get an Apple cell phone.

I already got it done But I was debating Whether I was even get all I put on City Pulse. I Always forget they come on at six but I'm usually Reading or doing something else where I just kind of forget So then I missed like an hour of it. Let's see See so yeah, so I mean Okay, I got that going turn it away from you so you don't so I'm not broadcasting it, but Yeah, I was like who uses a plain watch I Thought of you guys, but yeah, I changed the battery on it cost me $20 at This little jeweler shop at George Square, it's this thing here And then it has alarms like sing song the alarms I won't play those But it has like all these sing song the alarms and stuff like that And yeah If I play my cards right I won't have to change the battery on it for like two three years That's about what that 20 bucks well 25 bucks gets me So there you go. Yeah, and to create it watch"}]}
