Kami here, KJ7RAB. We're here in the ham shack of the silent key helping clear everything out. We're making really good progress. I think we're moving through things a lot quicker than anticipated which is good. I'm roasting. It's so warm. I've been running up and down the stairs. The shack is on the second floor. I'm getting my steps in today but it doesn't count because I don't have my watch on to tell me how many steps I'm making. That's how it works. I know yesterday was my fault. Robert was so kind as to charge my watch for me and I neglected to put it on. Tim, we haven't reached the telepathic stage yet. I sure do try but more come on that. Haven't reached that stage but there you go. I think that's all I've got for now. I've got to get back to work and just keep swimming. Thanks so much for picking up the net today.

I've actually got more than I need, so I need to anyway. So thank you for the check-in. And yeah, keep working on the telepathic thing. It does kind of keep developing, so you know, you've already, I'm sure you're on the way, well on the way, the two of you. All right, let's talk to Les in the shire. Les, what's going on in your area over there?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-19T12:23:59+00:00","id":42003,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42002,"text":" Hi to everybody, it's Friday night over here at 8 o'clock in the evening. I normally have a take away meal on a Friday but I don't have the appetite this week. But yeah, everything is good over here. Getting ready, we've got a big family due on Sunday. So my middle daughter's husband is a tree surgeon so he's coming up on Sunday and he's going to top off some comifers for me, probably six or seven feet off the top of them, bring them back down to a reasonable level. He does it every five or six years. He's also going over to my youngest daughter to top off one of their comifers as well. He's also going to do some antenna work for me. I told him to do the antenna work first, the trees the second. If we run out of time we'll leave the trees, they're not going anywhere. I have probably a 20 foot, two inch diameter scaffold bolted to the side of the house. I've got a 2 inch semi-co-linear diamond X700 on the top. These are 23 feet long but it's just a little bit low. It's not quite clearing the ridge of the roof of the house. I'm going to go up the ladder because he's okay with ladders. Flacken off the U-bolts and then I'll lift up the pole from the bottom and get it up as high as I can. I think I'll clamp it up and then come down and put a few tire wraps to hold the coax on the way down. Then I've got another one in the middle of the back garden which is much easier if it's two handed to pump up mass. It's got a 4 meter extension on the top and then a diamond X510 on the top of that which is about 12 feet long. It's a bit of a mom sausage on the handle on the around. There's even a little bit of wind. It can scratch it out of your hand. I'm going to get him to go up the step ladder, reach up, bring the thing down and then pass it to me on the floor. Two handed. The idea is that if the X700 with its extra 6 or 8 feet works as well as I hope it will then the diamond X510 will come off the pump up mass and be replaced with a 270 Yagi, very high gain. So if I pump that up and get it up to its 30 foot height that should be interesting. But in the meantime tomorrow I'm going to have to go out there and make sure that I've whacked all the weeds back so he can get to where he needs to be."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-19T12:24:45+00:00","id":42004,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42003,"text":" because the grass is a little bit long. So we'll get that sorted out. And that's it. Another week tomorrow we've got the 2 metre event on, 1.45 alive, where we try and get as many people to come on the 2 metre band as possible. And I'm really neck controlled again for, but I should be doing it from home this time rather than going out to a high point due to transport problems. So it's all looking good in the future here. And we're definitely keeping busy, let's put it that way. I never realised this hobby could take up so much of my time and so much of my money as well. But there we go. It's too late once you've joined the hobby. That's it. There's no going back. Anyway, with that, that's the report from the Shire. So back to neck control. I think it's Tim.

Birmingham looks like is the closest airport and I went to Birmingham two times, I think maybe three times, at least two times for work there for a few days each time. A lovely place.

Am I right on that?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-19T12:27:49+00:00","id":42006,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42005,"text":" I've got to admit I'm not aware of a TV museum in Birmingham but there are so many museums and so many things. I wouldn't be surprised if there was one but Birmingham International BHI, it's famous. You'll see it on YouTube an awful lot. When we have high winds here they get a crosswind across the runway and it's absolutely phenomenal watching these YouTube videos of planes struggling to try and land at 45 degrees onto the runway. I use it extensively for work. I've flown all over the UK and there and also into Europe from there. It's about 20 miles away from me, very convenient but I can also pick up the tower and the ground control, the approach control for the rest of it on the radio and the air band. That makes fascinating listening too. I used to take the kids up there when they were little. It was a free day out because you never lost a lot of money when the kids were younger. So we go to Birmingham and we go to the viewing tower because it was free to get in and take some sandwiches and some cola for them. There was always guys up there with binoculars and radios and they used to keep the kids entertained and on the way home we used to go to an aquatics place which again was another freebie and they had all hundreds if not thousands of tanks of different fish and aquatic vegetation and they had this great big tank right at the back. I mean I'm talking huge. I'm talking 20, 30 feet deep and probably 50 to 100 feet across. It had a big shark in it. Eventually the shark outgrew the tank and had to relocate it to somewhere else. That was our rainy, sunny day out at Birmingham Airport followed by surely aquatics on the way home. I hope that answered your question. Sorry I'd have never heard of the TV museum."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-19T12:28:44+00:00","id":42007,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42006,"text":" Yeah, I'm not sure if it's called the TV Museum or exactly the name. It was like 25 years ago or so when I was there. But it is right in the domain part of the town. And what I remember the most, they had a lot of features like exhibits like how they did use mirrors and smoke to do some of the effects that they had on TV back in the 50s and so forth, so that's really interesting stuff. And outside of the museum there is I think the world's largest camera obscura. It's actually just this dark room you go into and it's probably about 3 meters by 3 meters more or less, all black inside but it's got a white screen and a small hole on one side which projects in. So you're actually inside the camera looking at the scene upside down from outside, really, really interesting stuff. Anyway, interested me at the time. I still get interested in that kind of thing. Thanks for the check in and catch you more later I am sure. Let's see, the next we have is, whoops, whoops, came for SMD. I think it is. I wrote this down in a hurry.

November 20, September 27 is their last rain and shine net of the year. And that's going to be Saturday. 27th again, 9 to 1230 in the morning. Good time will be had by all. So it's coming up. And as far as PSRG, I don't see any other events. Jack will probably fill me in. OK, so I'm messing up here. There is a Seattle Auxiliary Communications Service Amateur Radio Licensing course and exam. This is going to be on Saturday, September 20. That would be tomorrow. That is from 9 AM to 4 30 PM at Middlebrook Community Center. Amateur Radio, Ham Radio, licensed radio service, and hobby. OK, we know all that. And the two-day amateur radio class will be held.

So I've been a little busy lately. I got one of those Kenwood VHF radios D750 on order. I called last week to see what was going on because I hadn't heard anything since placing my hold, my reservation about like five months ago and they said, ah, they were, radios were expected maybe like within the next week. But now that I'm checking on the internet and so forth, I find that that's probably not the case. Probably not going to come until the fourth, sometime in the fourth quarter like November, December. They're just not out there quite yet. But what I am putting in my Kia Niro is I'm going to put my Kenwood D700 which is a go band, mobile of course. And so one thing that in this place was I missed the interconnect cable. It connects the head with the transmitter unit. So I ordered a replacement cable which just came in today which means I'll be able to get that radio put in probably this weekend. So I'll finally have a radio mounted in my car instead of using an HT for my mobile radio. So this should be a step up. Let's see. That's what's going on with me.

One of them lives in Norway, and then this year I met one of the cousins who lives in Amsterdam, and he is a wild and crazy guy for sure.

I was doing some door dashing and ended up taking this order to this house with these Mexican dudes. They were barbecuing, and they invited me in and fed me all this dank Mexican taco food.

Yeah, not really too much going on this week really. Just been getting by. I've had an alright week in school. Been managing. Things have been getting kind of a bit stressful, but I've been managing as I've said before. As I've told you before, obviously, with year 13, that's likely a pretty natural thing that's going to happen. I've accepted that and I'm working fine with it, I believe, so far. I have a driving lesson next Monday at quarter past 11 in the morning. So, I am hoping that that will go as well as the previous few have gone. It's been a pretty alright week outside of school for me as well. Although recently, last couple of days, I have come home feeling a little bit tired. I ended up going to sleep in the evenings a couple of times, which is natural considering the uptick in activity through the day, the uptick in mental, well, just brain capacity needed to get through the day each time because of the jump going into year 13 from year 12. Even though I'm pretty sure that is slightly less pronounced than GCSE and year 12. Even still, it's been a good week in general. Happy to have made it to the weekend and I'm going to take the time to relax, get a little bit of rest and get back into the groove on Monday. Hi, hi. Hope you're doing well. Hope everyone on the net is doing well. And I think that's about all from me, really, unless you have anything to ask me or say to me.

I'm glad things are doing all okay and not too much news to report. You know what they say, no news is good news. If life is just fine and quite contentious to mosey through and without any kind of too much bother, that's a blessing in itself. It really is. Yeah, fine business on year 13 there and just a little bit different from year 12 and a little bit more taxing perhaps on the brain and yeah, we all get tired from time to time. Of course, what's tiring us over here, myself and Helen Queen of Scotland is our puppy, Odin, man, I'll tell you. He starts school, I think I mentioned that before, he starts school on Monday. So, here we go. Indeed, just a few days ago, I was just down the road at North Queensferry. So, it's at this northern side of the fourth road bridge, just kind of near there and we thought we'd go and find this community hall where it happens and it's a fantastic place. I've never actually climbed the hill at North Queensferry before but it's a wonderful location. Yeah, it's at the top of the hill and everything else. You look down to the three fourth bridges there, the rail bridge, the two road bridges and what a wonderful view you have. It's great and the nice walks around there. So, yes, we're taking him there for his puppy classes. There's a community centre there. So, that's him going to school on Monday. So, we're kind of looking forward to that. But we've also got a wedding to go to tomorrow, so, man, I'll tell you, we are tired. I'll probably have a reasonably early debate tonight and just have to see how things go and whatever else but there we go. Anyway, Declan, I suppose only one nosy question, if you don't mind, sir. What kind of car are you, is your license, I presume it's the same kind of car that you're driving and I know it's a manual, so that's always good. I believe at least one third of tests are all now done on automatic but no, stick to manual, definitely more options as time goes on. And, yes, so do you know what kind of car it is? They tend to be kind of smaller and everything else for your learning and everything. So, just being curious and a little bit nosy.

And I think he said Hawes. Was that Hotel Alpha Whiskey Echo Sierra? And just, it's a kind of tentative link there. But myself and Helen, we met at South Queensfury at a place called Hawes Pier. So there we go. It's also spelled Hotel Alpha Whiskey Echo Sierra, Hawes Pier, South Queensfury. And that's where we first of all met. And we went for a meal. And I think it was called the Hawes Bar at the time. I'm not too sure. I can't remember exactly. But definitely the Hawes Pier. So there we go. It's just maybe a wee coincidence there.

I'm doing just fine here. We've had a great day here in Maine, a little on the cooler side, upper 60s is one of the cooler days that we've had. But still nice to be outdoors. We need rain though, but none in sight, unfortunately. But we could use a good soaking rain. The critters are doing great. The puppy training is continuing. It's not perfect, but we're persistent with it. We had a pretty good day today. And I was able to read the signals and force the issue to get her out before we had any trouble inside. And I've tried to spend a lot of time outside today because it's really nice here. She'll be 12 weeks old tomorrow. I can't believe that. We've had her four weeks already. It doesn't seem like it's been that long. Seems like it was just a couple of days ago. Time goes really, really fast. But she's really delightful to have. She has really opened up and is doing well with the cat. Cairo even goes and searches for the dog. And Riga does the other way around too. I'm glad they get along. And Riga is now just a tiny bit bigger than Cairo. And that wasn't the case when we first brought her home four weeks ago. Cairo was bigger. And now there's a noticeable difference the other way. So she's growing. And that will, I imagine in another four weeks, we're going to be looking at a totally different dog for sure. So with that, I'll turn it back to you, Graham.

They'd like to do a funny thing here, but never mind. Okay, Paul, thank you so much and thanks for the critical report. Yeah, you know, these puppies do kind of grow and of course, Riga, I do believe it's a lab retriever. So, yeah, they grow so quick. You know, Odin is already, he's now 17 and a half, nearly 18 kilograms. Honestly, he's growing, growing so quick and every day we kind of wake up and go, look at the size of that dog. Where's our puppy gone? Somebody's taken the puppy and put him in this big dog. So, anyway, but no, he's growing so, so quick. So, yeah, 17 and a half, I think probably 18 by now, kilograms. So, he was weighed just last week. So, he's probably 18 plus now and he just keeps on growing. So, I don't know how big he's going to be. Is he going to be as big as the last Labrador layered back? I don't know. I think he'll be at least as big, maybe even bigger. So, we'll just have to wait and see. But, yeah, you probably heard the traffic. We're starting a puppy training on Monday there and the class we're going to has other different activities throughout the week as well that we can go and attend as well. So, just different socializing and different bits and pieces. But he's been out and about so, so much. But, OK, there we go. We'll have to go and see. I don't know if you're planning doing any kind of formal puppy training with classes or anything else. You just do it all in-house. But we're going to give it a go with Odin and just see if that can kind of complement what training we're doing in-house as well. So, we'll just have to wait and see. So, any plans for Riga there? For going to puppy classes? Just keep it all in-house and you and your older dog and everything else can lead by example and help Riga grow into a wonderful, wonderful retriever there.

So that will be another few weeks, I guess, until she gets the rabies, especially. But she's got two more rounds of vaccinations to go, and then we'll be doing something formally. But we don't have the older dog. We don't have, she passed away, well, it will be two years ago this coming January. So we were hoping that we would get this dog and have the two of them for a little bit, but it didn't work out that way. So we thought the older dog would certainly be a help and hoping to train the puppy, but it just wasn't meant to be. So we're doing what we can from a lot of training videos that we've had and we've read about and we've watched, and then we'll do some formal classes. My wife would like to look into getting her trained and certified as a therapy dog because she works at a skilled nursing facility where they have short-term and long-term care. They have therapy dogs come in a lot, and the residents there just love them, and she would like to be able to take her to work with her like once a week.

Hey, listen, that sounds absolutely amazing. I think therapy dogs just are absolutely fantastic. They really are. I know how much shaking they can do. We've never had the therapy dogs ourselves, but I've had a couple of dogs over the decades that have been working with the young people who were kind of troubled and troublesome teenagers that I worked with for 35 years. Sometimes they don't respond to human beings too well, but now and again, well, actually quite frequently, I would take one of our dogs in. Obviously not real therapy dogs, but just because they're dogs just makes such a difference. You see these youngsters, these teenagers just come out of themselves and all of a sudden, all the kind of masks that they might have is just kind of dropped and they just interact with the dog and they just become something different. It honestly does work. It really does. It's fantastic. What dogs can do and benefit human beings is quite incredible. Thanks to Sandra. I believe your wife is Sandra there, so thanks to her for all the work she does. I think that's a great aim to really get Riga involved in doing some therapeutic work as well. Absolutely wonderful. Great stuff. Good stuff. Anyway, there we go. Hail to the good dog dogs all night and how good they are and how it makes human beings feel better and everything else. Just walking around with puppy Odin here, Paul, honestly, I walk around and there's something that he's terrible in traffic. Well, he's not terrible. He's very nervous in traffic, so I'm trying to get him used to the cars and the motorbikes and the loud exhausts and all the rest. So I'm kind of fighting away with him going along the pavement, but people are walking back and, oh, he's gorgeous. Oh, he's beautiful. Oh, he's so nice. Oh, what a wonderful dog you got there.

I've been one for five years, but one of the things in Maine is that they're authorized to officiate weddings. And so this young couple found me on Facebook and messaged me and wanted and inquired about this and I thought hey well might be a nice little retirement sideline so why not? So I met with them at a local coffee shop and we talked and they had just bought a house and it has a big backfield and they're renting a tent with a that comes with the table and chairs and a dance floor and the whole works and so that's going to be next weekend. And when I asked them the address they said they gave it to me that's in Lincoln the town to our north and I said that sounds vaguely familiar and they said yeah white one-story house that's up on the bank and they said a man named Searle built it and I said you're never going to believe this but that's my father-in-law and that's the house my wife grew up in. So they want to meet him and they've invited him to the wedding and they've invited my wife's aunt to the wedding and so this will be interesting but next Friday night is the rehearsal the same time the nets happening and then the wedding's the next day so well we'll talk in two weeks and I'll keep my puppy reports going.

Maybe I'll go on that absolute tech net, and ask them what applications might not work for amateur radio applications if I update to Windows 11.

And then we have to light them and listen, as I'm putting the candles on the cake and then thinking about lighting them, which could be a fire hazard here in the central Scotland. Well, I'm putting the candles on the cake. Let's go to birthday boy himself, Victor Echo 3, X-ray, Delta, Bravo, 8, dog. I'm putting the candles on the cake. It'll take a little bit of time, but happy birthday. Happy Friday and welcome to the dog. The mic is yours. Well, thank you, Graham. You just set off my smoke detector. So thank you for the kind wishes here and on those who responded on Facebook and that sort of thing. So it was kind of you to notice that. So we had a great day. We went out for breakfast this morning, which is one of my favourite meals to eat out. So we did that for my birthday and then we did a bit of shopping and just wandering around and I got a nice new gym shirt. Leslie asked me how old my gym shirt was and we were just figuring it out. It's the same shirt that I've been wearing probably since 1995. So it's 30 years old. So it's still in good shape. It's a Wilson, you know, and they're pretty sturdy shirts, but I got a new one for my birthday. So that's great. Got on the air this afternoon on FT8 and if Dave would have been around GW8SL, I probably would have been able to work him because I was working all kinds of folks into Europe on 10 and 15 metres today, which was kind of fun. Yeah. And I didn't do that for long because it's a lovely day here. It's about 21 or 22 degrees and very nice. Anyway, oh, Windows 10. Graham, just so you know, the end of life is October 14th, 2025, which means if you don't upgrade, you don't get any security updates. So you can still run it, but I would really consider upgrading or looking at additional support because that's, I wouldn't like to be running in an unsupported mode. Lots of Gremlins out on the internet, you know, and lots of crawlers looking for unsupported operating systems. Anyway, all the best. Enjoy your day tomorrow. Be safe. Safe travels and enjoy the wedding. 73 from VE3XDB."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-19T14:15:46+00:00","id":42117,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42116,"text":" Ah, V3 STB, just hold on there, don't be running off and all that.

And good comments there about Windows 10 and End of Life, and apparently October 14 for the updates, the security updates that is. But of course my question is more to do with just the practical things, like some of the software and different bits and pieces I'm running on Windows 10 that's associated with amateur radio. And you know in the early days when Windows 11 came up around, people were saying, oh this doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's not compatible, so I'm not too sure. Before I update, I just want to make sure that all my kind of, anything I'm operating on the PC here will still be compatible, or else hey, it could be a problem. That's all. That was my question. So there we go. But no, I've got another question, and you've kind of set it up there, sir. I don't know, maybe you're bragging, I'm not too sure, but a gym shirt. You've got a brand new gym shirt after 30 years. You didn't even say it's a different size. I think you're kind of hinting it's the same size after 30 years. And you know, you and I, we're not too far off in the similar kind of ages. We're both now kind of newly, in the last few years retired and everything else. Of course I'm saying, well, I haven't outgrown my cult, my cult outfit. My cult has shrunk in the wardrobe over the years. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. And there you are out there, Doug, saying that you're getting a new gym shirt after 30 years. But I think you're kind of hinting it's going to be the same size as it was 30 years ago. Hey listen, if we compare notes, it might be a little bit different. So are you kind of just boasting and bragging on your birthday? I don't know. Back to you Doug from GM0UUD. Well, I've always been the same size since I was in my 30s. And yeah, it's the same size gym shirt. When I was working from 2010 to 2020 during that period, I did gain a bit of weight. But I've lost about 25 pounds since I retired, and I've lost about 10 of that in the last year or so. I'd still like to get down a little bit more, but that's fine. But it's more about health than weight. I'm comfortable with my weight. I can hike and I can chin myself and I can still do push-ups. I do all the weight machines and all that kind of thing. I'm still okay for an old guy. This is my 69th birthday. And things are still working relatively well. The 5-year, 50,000-mile warranty has long expired. But with maintenance, the car will be maintained.

We'll work on that, Doug. Hey, listen, I'll maybe reach out to you and get your kind of a fitness plan and everything. I'm not a big gym fan. I have to say I haven't ever been to the gym proper.

Hi everyone, my name is Hui. I go by Ethan on the air so if you guys want to tell me that, that is 100% okay and no worries about the name part.

The weather outside the day is 28 Celsius, I believe it's 83 to 84 Fahrenheit for the fellow Americans out there and yeah, I am quite new to the hobby compared to I guess a lot of you guys. I actually just joined the IRN network earlier this week. Many thanks to Graham to add me to the TeamSpeak network which I am currently using right now to connect with the net. It is a fairly piece of software for me to use for hand purposes. I usually operate FM on UHF VHF and also digital modes like DMR. Yeah, so before that, I just got my license amateur license at the March of this year. So yeah, less than half a year I would say. This is a wonderful hobby. Everyone's been helpful and friendly. I really like the atmosphere today at this net. Yeah, I guess I don't have anything else to add. I just wish everyone a good Friday. Back to you Graham. This is K6RN K6R0N. I go by Ethan. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7. Nobody knows. K6R0N Ethan. Well thank you. Thank you so much. And yeah, you do have a short thing there on QRZ.com and you did remind me of that. It's Ethan. So we get stuff. And yeah, there we go. So well thank you. Thank you so much and thanks for using the TeamSpeak platform for the International Radio Network. Just a reminder folks, we do have a wonderful TeamSpeak platform. The International Radio Network has its own kind of server out there on TeamSpeak. And we have links to various other networks and repeaters and bits and pieces and all the rest. And we invite anybody else who wants to join. It's there. And it's kind of all kind of, I'm going to say, I'm going to say on here, it's kind of free. It's there. So there we go. If anybody wants to kind of examine what happens in TeamSpeak, I think it's a completely underused platform for amateur radio. We could make an awful lot more use of that. So there we go. Ethan, thank you so much for checking in using the TeamSpeak platform. We do appreciate that. And Ethan, you're a brand new check into the net. And of course on this night we do like to talk about our critters. So Ethan, I've got one question for you there. Sir, do you have any critters in your household? Ethan, a critter is of course a pet. And sometimes people talk about critters coming into their back garden. You know, the wildlife and everything else. Anyway, we do love our cats and our dogs and our fish and everything else and antelopes and the zebras and whatever people have. So Ethan, do you have any critters in your household that you want to share with us? Please, please feel free to share.

The party that Shirley had was a huge, huge success. Everybody seemed to really have a good time. And they loved the movie. They loved Shirley's shepherd pie with scones. And, oh, she had a salad that had strawberries in it, sliced up nice and thin, and some kind of a vinaigrette, a raspberry or strawberry vinaigrette. And, well, I'll tell you what. That went over real well. That thing started at 4 p.m. our time here. And it went on until about 9 p.m. So, got the jukebox on, and they were playing music on the jukebox and getting into that. And then they had their dinner. And then after dinner, they went over to the TV and watched the full monty, as what we had discussed before. And the ladies, they wanted to play with the jukebox more than they wanted to watch the movie. So, I'll have to send you the video of what our jukebox looks like here. It's pretty crazy. So, they finally, after Shirley said, you know, come on, people, we need to turn off the jukebox now. Let's start watching this movie. It's getting later and later in the evening here. And so, finally, they got through and did that. But it was all good. Everything worked out well. Let's do a relay here, like KJ5STP. She's in the back. I think she's on her phone. Yep, she's on her phone. And so, she's waving her hand out of your direction there, Dave. So, but, yep, life is good here. Really good, successful time. And, boy, I'll tell you what, your temperature, it's getting down there now. Getting closer to where you're going to have that winter scene coming along here.

But, you know, they're actually steelworkers from, I don't know, was it Sheffield or something like that? They got made redundant and they started off as male strippers. I know that bit's correct. I don't know if they were steelworkers or coal miners. But steelworkers, ring the bell anyway. I'm going to have to watch it again. And, yep, the Shepherd's Pie is a good, a good, hearty, hearty food over here. I wonder, because it was so successful, I wonder if Shirley's planning another one for another kind of theme. Or maybe it's not her first. I wonder if she's done it before, done something like that before there, Kifor. Was it, was it a first or is it?

Well, actually it was her first. They just started doing this movie night cinema thing between their friends where they go to each other's homes. And the hostess, she puts together a fancy feast that goes with whatever the movie is that they're watching. So if they're watching something like The Hunt for the Red October or something, I don't know what they would serve. It has to be a cross between Russian and American food, I guess. It kind of blended together into one entree, I suppose. But no, that was her first. So now it's the other lady's turn to get back into it. And then I don't know what the next theme will be for her next movie thing, but they really like doing these things. They seem to really go over really well. But then of course Shirley went all out because she got that British tablecloth and she got a bunch of British flags and she got a bunch of little hand me outs, these little toys, little British toys and this and that. I don't know what all that she put in their little goodie bags that they took with them. Plus they took home some leftovers. She also made a butternut squash soup, which is generally something that is good right around in the fall and the winter because it's very hearty, very thick. And it's very tasty. She made that too. So everybody had a nice big bowl of that and then they didn't have much of an appetite for everything else, unfortunately. And then I've got this big popcorn machine that I had set up in my living room so that they could reach into the popcorn machine and take a scoop of popcorn out of it with some little popcorn bags. And they could sit there and watch the movie and have popcorn just like at the theater, you know, the concession stand. We set up our own concession stand or at least Shirley did, 95 percent of it anyway. The only thing I really did was just sort of help her get the house in order and to bring the popcorn machine out and get it set up and pop some popcorn theater style so that they can really get into that stuff. So there it is. I don't know what else to say. It's something that Shirley is looking forward to doing again. But it took a lot out of her. She was pretty sore there.

She picked the movie first. Everybody has their own thing. Last month it was a French movie that one of the gals hosted and she put together a nice French cuisine all the way up from the wine and the food, the dessert, the whole nine yards. So she picked the movie first. The month before that it was a Hawaiian movie with Elvis Presley and that lady set up a luau with poi and all these other little Hawaiian dishes. Lots of pineapple and coconut and oh boy. And then there's the German theme. They did that one already. Shirley was last on the list to put together her movie night. So that's when she decided, okay, I'm going to go British. So let's see, what do I got for a British movie? Well, I've got a dozen of them or so, but here's the one I think they'll enjoy. And of course, Shirley and I have seen that movie probably, I don't know, a half a dozen times over the years. But what I had to do is when I played the movie on a DVD, I had to turn on the closed captions because some of those ladies could not understand their dialect. It was pretty funny. What did he say? I think he said this. Play it back. So I turned on the closed captions so they could catch every word. Well, there it is. Anyway, okay Dave, I'll tell you what, I'll go ahead and get on out of here and let you get those others. And I'll listen in for a little bit. I kind of tuned in late. So sorry, Gram, if I missed out because I was working on a project here in the house. Oops, I'm going to miss that VEX freedom net. Extended freedom net. I'll just shorten it up. Anyway, okay.

The flood water was so deep, sorry, it actually just virtually covered, just near enough covered the roofs of vehicles in a few locations.

Then we had all this torrential rain which we don't normally have. We normally get gradual, constant-ish type rain if you know what I mean. Not really heavy stuff and of course the water had nowhere to go. So, flooding was quite common around the South Wales area. We were lucky because we were a little bit elevated. So, most of the whales would have to get flooded before it would actually come up to us. But if we did have a blocked gully system, surface water gully system, it might be a little bit of a problem. But we were lucky and we didn't get affected. But there's quite a few businesses and homes and everything got flooded in Swansea there, there Mike. But unfortunately that's the way things are going. As I say, we don't know what the weather and the climate is going to do over the next few years. I'm closely watching our winter as well and our autumn weather. So, we can get an idea. If it's anything like last autumn, our nighttime and daytime differential temperatures were nowhere near what they usually would be previously. So, we'll see if they're more closer together this year than last year or what happens over the autumn. They might get out to the temperatures every day. So, it's all stored in the computer system. So, over to you there Mike.

And once it was you know had done everything it could do to prove make sure that there's no one in there that's safe then it would go up and come to full speed and do its thing.

You think of them netted wire like garden wire, garden fence wire. It was set, the bags were impacting that part of their cage for the safety. And it was shredding them. So, what was left of the bag, you know, dropped to the bottom on the robot side of the actual safety guard system. And all the pellets just went through the hole. So, that was the force it was actually hitting the actual, you know, the safety system with. If one of those bags hit you, it would have probably killed you outright. And that's the kind of force. But, yeah, it was a good, it was an interesting one. You had to shut it all down and replace the faulty part. But, the good old days. But, you see, at least they had the safety cage around it.

Just another typical day in Daytona Beach for this time of year. But I want to make a mention and honor an Englishman that just passed away, Ricky the hit Manhattan, a well-witched boxing champ from Manchester. He was a great, great fighter and he died and he suffered from mental depression, but he was a great, great boxer and I love to watch him on television so whenever he fought I made sure I could watch the fight. He fought as a well-to-weight, about 135 to 145 pounds and he was world champ in two different divisions and he was a great, great fighter. He was a common man. He wasn't cocky or I mean he would get in the ring and he would fight. Boy, you'd have to kill the guy to beat him. He only lost a few fights and he lost one fight to, oh, now I'm forgetting, but he lost two fights to the two best fighters in the world in his weight division. And Manny Pacquiao from the Philippines beat him and then the best well-to-weight, middleweight boxer beat him. But they're supposed to have a big funeral and all the famous sports people from all over the world are flying into Manchester.

You know like there's Britain in the UK has a lot of good boxing fighters but I guess the Brits are too formal and they're not like Americans like in Pittsburgh where I grew up it was a blue collar city and there was only three jobs in Pittsburgh that you could get a job at. You worked in the coal mines, you worked in the steel mill and you worked on bridges. Pittsburgh is a city of bridges, there's three rivers there and so the companies that made bridges had headquarters in Pittsburgh. So you either worked in a coal mine or you worked in the mill and you did bridges. And it was a total blue collar city in the 40s and 50s when I grew up there. Young people like myself and my other my brothers and sisters didn't want to work in those three areas so we tried to only way to get out is to move out of the city which all three of us did. One went to Utah, one stayed in Pittsburgh for a while and I moved all around the country but it was amazing when I was growing up how you had to learn to box. I mean everybody boxed, I mean actually in the ring and in the gym and in people's houses we used to box in the cellar and so it was part of growing up. But you had to stay open like you got an education, you had the education on the streets with your hands like Ricky Hatton, you also had education in school and one of my brothers got a doctor's degree, the other got a masters and I got a BS in computer science. And all my friends, one of my friends grew up to be a really famous doctor. He was a knee doctor and he was 6'6 and all the sports teams would hire him to repair knees and shoulders. He grew up to be a famous doctor and other guys in my neighborhood grew up to be in real estate, lawyers and just amazing but it's amazing when you start out in the rough area yet you refine yourself and you change your profession based on the new economy.

I don't watch boxing anymore, to be honest, especially when they're charging so much pay per view, you know, to actually watch the fights on the TV over here, for a nominal price. And you know, if you're going to get knocked out in the first round, you know, you're paying a really high price just for a short amount of time there, Captain Bob.

It doesn't look like that strong, but like I say, all the people that I knew left the city and grew up and had different progressions. And one of the best buddies I had was an Italian guy. We knew each other 55 years, and he was part of the mafia. We used to always go over to his house in parts of Pittsburgh. And his dad, who was a mafia guy, a real good guy, he had a big row of Italian grapes in the backyard. And we used to go out there and help him grow the grapes, and then we'd pick them and put them in a big barrel and crush them with our feet. They made this real strong wine. They called it Dago Red. And as kids, they used to let us drink Dago Red wine. But my brother, he called me just two days ago, and we were always talking on the phone for almost two hours and just talking about Pittsburgh, what a great city it is. And I'll tell you one funny story, David. I don't know if you're an ice hockey fan, but Pittsburgh always had an ice hockey team. In the 50s and 60s, the minor league came. And then later on, they had the Pittsburgh Hornets, and they built a really good team playing in Pittsburgh with the Pittsburgh NHL team. But it's funny. Pittsburgh has some really good colleges. Like one of the finest engineering schools is Carnegie Mellon. And a couple of the Google guys went there. A lot of famous Silicon Valley guys went to Carnegie Mellon, CMU they call it, University of Pittsburgh, Duquesne University. Just really, really good schools there. But my buddy, who was an Italian guy and a boxer and a jab was a Mafia guy, one of his sons, his oldest son, could fight in the street. He grew to be a nuclear engineer. And the first nuclear submarine was made east of Pittsburgh by Westinghouse, about 20 or 35 miles east of Pittsburgh. The world's first nuclear sub was built in Pittsburgh, and Admiral Rickover was the head of the whole project. My friend's oldest brother, he was a nuclear engineer. They're pretty amazing. Like I say, you could get kids on the street, but when they got older, they grew into a good profession. And I tell you, in England and the UK, there's great, great boxes over there. You've got to pick them out though. Great boxes.

I couldn't remember when I was talking to you earlier. But I got to tell you about the Pittsburgh sports fans. Like the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Pittsburgh NHL hockey team, their shirt colors are black and gold. So everything in sports oriented, particularly the Steelers in the NHL hockey team, everything is black and gold. Well in the 1970s I used to work for Control Data and we used to work on Cray computers. Cray built the first, Seymour Cray in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin built the world's first supercomputer. And it was really big and really, really fast. But anyway, the funny story is the supercomputers were called Cray. Cray, C-R-A-Y, Seymour Cray was named after. And they had the Cray 1, 2 and all that stuff like that. And they had millions of dollars. But anyway, Carnegie Mellon I think it was, an engineering school, bought a Cray supercomputer. And I think this was in the 70s, might have been the 80s. But this guy got this multimillion dollar supercomputer and they got it from Cray computer and it was an engineering wonder to be in Pittsburgh.

So imagine that you're walking down the street and you hear a harp player play Metal Hymn of the Republic. Now my question to you is what song will come after that that will keep you listening? And I asked this because I'm playing inside a store and I'd really like to keep the customer in the store, but what happens is they get drawn in by Glory Hallelujah. And then when I finish and start nearly anything else they leave, I'd like to have them stay. So anybody has any suggestion about songs that could come after Glory Hallelujah that people might think of hearing next or like to hear next, I'd really appreciate it. Other than that, I'm writing the third or fourth draft of yet another few scenes in this project that will not go away. And that's about it. It was a beautiful day out. I got to sit out and play harp on a nice sunny day with nice people on a nice street and a really pretty harp. It doesn't actually get much better than that. 7333-88.

I'm going to write it, and I wrote it down. Circle. There we go. I circled it. 737, thank you so much for stopping by, and again, I appreciate your suggestion and hamstrings.

Well, the date night is kind of over technically in a way almost I guess. I am so ready for bed. We are in bed. We are laying down right now. I'm sitting up so that I can make my report and then I will very graciously hand over the radio, the remote and go to sleep. But it's been a fantastic day. We left the house at 6 o'clock this morning and caught the 710 Ferry in Edmonds over to Kingston. Did the fantastic drive, stopped at the Polls Bowl. I'll let Kami talk about that part if she wants to. And then went and picked up at U-Haul to the Silent Key House and spent the day with Jack and Kami and the widow I guess. We had a great time. We had a great time. The widow, yeah, of the Silent Key and worked on packing the shack up. It was quite the experience. She's been such an incredible person to work with for this estate. It's been an absolute pleasure. She's a ham as well so she got to keep a bunch of radios. And some of them I was kind of eyeballing myself. One of them being a Kenwood D710G and a Kenwood D700, both of which are, so you know, a couple of my favorite radios. But then she kept some BaoFang radios and AnyTone and a few other rigs. So we're hoping to get her set up on the Echo Link so that she can check into the nets and yeah, still looking to make sure to lock in a buyer for the Step IR 6-20 beam antenna, rotator and mast and an ICOM 7600. And I think there's a buyer for the ICOM PW1. I gotta confirm that one so that won't be available. But yeah, a lot of great gear. Really great day. And then I got to spend date night having some Italian food, some great drinks at Heritage Distilling and wrapping the night up here at the Maritime Inn in Gate Harbor. So pretty excited and tomorrow will be a fantastic day loading the truck and heading home. So hope everything goes smooth tomorrow and we make it home okay.

I love the cardamom braids that they have there. And so I picked up a couple more of them. I got one the last time we were through there, and was regretting not having picked up a couple more. So I did that. Yeah, so, so, so very tired. I certainly got my steps in today, but they didn't count because I didn't have my watch on, because I forgot to put it on. We didn't bring the Mogwai. She's at home with the Biggs. So she, this is her first time with the dog sitter. And so we got some pictures from the dog sitter of her running around in the yard and eating her food. And we left a note for them, letting them know not to believe her, because she will do her best to try and convince them that we never feed her, and that she needs more food. But I think given the opportunity, she would eat until she exploded. So we had to give them a fair warning on that. What else? Yeah, lots and lots of work with getting the estate all packed up. And we, everything stayed in the garage, so we're going to load the truck tomorrow. We would love to have coffee, breakfast, whatnot. We're looking at being over there at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to start loading. So I don't know how you feel about that, but let's talk. I'll message you. You message me. We can coordinate. And then in other news, Rebecca, I cut all my hair off yesterday. I think it was yesterday. Yeah. I had the appointment booked for some time, and I wasn't really sure what I was going to do. And I got most of it cut off. I don't know how many inches that is, but it was a lot. And I'm super happy with it. It's a lot better. So there you go.

First thing is I'm trying to get through on one watt. Sounds like you all can hear me. Interesting experiment. Happy, happy. I'm going to go all the way back to the top and talk about songs. So I can't suggest a song because I don't know what kind of store it is, and that's very important. But I do have a story, which is many, many, many years ago, I was working for an architect designing a store for a famous brand. And we had a presentation from the Muzak salesperson. And the Muzak salesperson came in and said, You think you're so hot. Let me tell you what I can do. I can get people to come in the door. I can get people to move from this side of the store to that side of the store. At the end of the day, I can get them to leave and go home so everyone can turn out the lights and lock the door. I've never forgotten that. So just to say the songs are really important, but it's really hard to pick one. I am a boomer. So Rebecca, I do like your suggestion of the boomer repertoire, but I don't have any in particular. Also in common with many other people on the net, I'm very tired. So that's it for me.

But Robert, yeah. Gallery North in Edmonds, Washington. Anne is not only a visual artist, but she is a musician, and she also is a writer, and obviously an amazing communicator. She has a beautiful voice, so she sings. She sings as well, but just talks. Yeah, her beautiful voice and beautiful welcoming spirit. And she's amazing. She can do all of the things.

You've been pranking up a storm, I bet. Magoo, please come ahead with your report. Yeah, it's been a little bit of a while. I broke out the HF radio today and noticed that the 10-meter band looked open. And so I adjusted all the antennas to go to 10 meters, well, the one antenna, but with lots of adjusting. And made a bunch of contacts on 10 meters for the first time in, like, well, since I got my AMM license in March. So that was pretty cool. Anyway, that's in the HF world. Work-wise, I built eight chairs and a patio deck table. It was a real long deck table. It could take the eight chairs really easily. And then this weekend I'm going to demolish the deck and bring it to the dump and not rebuild anything, just leave the space. And then on Sunday I'm building a shed, just a shed out of a box from Home Depot, and putting that down on a new house that somebody just bought.

We've been making these infinity rugged boxes that are really cool. They stack onto each other and then they also bolt on. And then they have infinity pins on the inside which are all custom and you can do a bunch of different layers and things with those.

Herman, and the first thing that popped into my head was tequila. But maybe that's not the right follow-up song. If I had to give a real suggestion, I think Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah would be beautiful on a harp and would make a nice follow-up. I don't know if it's a feasible option, but fun question to think about thanks for that Ann. For the rest of my updates, I am over on Bainbridge Island this weekend. I'm here with Jeff, aka also Jeff. It's his birthday coming up, so we have a little modest weekend. The Bainbridge Park has these cute little cabins to rent.

I don't know why I just spent all that time looking for a call sign, but she's an amazing ham and I think that she is wonderful. So Bainbridge. Yes. You two have fun. 7-3 and all the numbers. Also, Jeff. All right. That was the end of that list. I'm going to go ahead and pause for announcements. Okay. I think that my dog is trying to eat a pillow. I don't think that means she's hungry. Okay. I guess that's a good announcement. My dog is hungry. Announcement number one, my dog is hungry. Come on, Andy. Come on. All right. Here I go. Down the stairs. Announcement number two, often down the stairs. Yeah. So as far as announcements go, you're listening to the social net on the PSRG Repeater System. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. And as an announcement, check out PSRG.org. That's PSRG.org to find events to consider and consider ham radio and ham radio adjacent events, of course. And I guess the first announcement really is this weekend. Not only is it Jeff's birthday and see one day, but it is salmon run weekend. And salmon run weekend is just a fun, easy breezy contest. It is a QRP contest. No digital modes at all. Single sideband heavy contest. It's also a huge fundraising weekend for the Radio Club of Tacoma. So it's a fun weekend to, if you have any inclination to visit the Radio Club of Tacoma, I would come out and see how crazy they get. All of those crazy kids at the Radio Club of Tacoma just doing salmon run. And yeah, but there are all these grids that people are looking for. So if anybody is on Orcas Island, crank that radio up because there are grid squares out there that people are hungry for. So yeah, this weekend salmon run and the, oh my gosh, Rebecca."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-19T21:55:29+00:00","id":42297,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42296,"text":" The SimplexNet is this weekend in the Seattle area.

Anyway I'll double check on that. I've got all this HF gear that I've never really done anything with. So I'd like to take it out portable and hook up an antenna someplace and make something happen. It's running on all bands, CW and Six Sideband, 6 meters to 160 meters. If anyone is interested they can look at it.

AG7LR, KK7, IJZ. What's up, Cody? Hey, Rebecca. I'm back from my camping trip now. Had a good time down there. Only got rained out one day. It was nice and quiet out there. I was at the Steamboat Rock campground and it's pretty nice out there. The sights are all spaced out and after Labor Day there's not a lot of people there. And it was really dark there, though. There was no moon out while I was there. You can really see all the stars and satellites going by. But, let's see, I've almost got everything unpacked. I've got several rolls of some now very muddy coax that I'm going to have to clean off. It was stuffed under the trailer but the rain was coming down so hard it still splashed in under there. It was kind of a mess. The antenna pole got filled with water, too. It's a telescopic fiberglass pole so I've got all the sections of that dismantled so it can dry out. I did have some issues with my All-Star, though. I think the flash memory on the little computer is just worn out in there and I need to build a new one. But other than that I did get my cloud node for All-Star up and running again. I had it set up before and it helped. It completely broke everything and All-Star would refuse to start on there. It's very picky about kernel versions and stuff. So I set up a new virtual machine with Debian 12 and put the new All-Star version 3 on that. It's set up with All-Scan so it's got a nice web interface. But, yeah, I just need to make a new portable node to hook up into that. That's all I've got for now. 73, everyone.

I gave my soprano sax away several years ago to a professional musician to give to any student that you felt would need or want one. And now I've come to my alto. My alto sax I've had since I was 16. It's still in very good shape. I've had the pads replaced several times. And the last time I played it was like five, I think five years ago, something like that, when I finally had to give up after my heart surgery. So it's been in the closet and I've been thinking about what am I going to do with it? What am I going to do with it? I don't want to sell it. I want to be able to give it to someone who can use it. So anyway, my brother and I will be going to a music store here in Zephyr Hills, maybe not this weekend, but maybe next weekend. And I will let them have it and I will pay for any repairs that it needs. It might need some new pads and whatnot. And I will ask them to either rent it out or give it to someone that they know could use it and couldn't afford to buy one. And that's the most wonderful gift I think I could give anyone because the sax is in very good shape. Once they get some new pads, it'll be like brand new again. But like I said, it's sentimental to me. I've had it since I was 16. It's a con, C-O-N-N, and it's a very good sax. And so I hope that somebody will be blessed by it and will be able to make beautiful music. I enjoyed it through all those years, but now it's time to pass it on. So that's my news for tonight, Rebecca. I hope everybody has a great weekend and I'll be talking to you again soon. November 3, Oscar, Mike Oscar.

I hope, I think most of the concerts are still there that RJ and I did together over COVID, which is about two years' worth. And then the one that I am really most proud of is the musical tour of the Civil War called Guns N Lovers. Guns N, the letter N, then the slash, and then lovers. And RJ put that together and narrated it. And of course I am doing the music and I am playing soprano sax on that. And my brother Doug and Tansy put together the video for it. So it is really about a 40 minute production. And I am very, very proud of that. A lot of work went into it with my husband, with RJ producing it, writing it, and I think he did a fantastic job. There are even some funny lines in it where he refers to me as Lady Elaine. Lady Elaine. And yes, yes, so anybody can still look me up on YouTube and you will find all of that there. And I would be anxious to hear what some of the reaction is, particularly to the Guns N Lovers. Back to you with that, November 3, Oscar Mike Oscar. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Yes. If you all have the chance, look these videos up. Elaine is, even though she is not actively playing, she still is an amazing musician. But yeah, Elaine Morgan on YouTube. Yeah, it is wonderful. She did a concert. I forget if it was every day or every week during COVID. It is just amazing. There is a lot of content out there, all recorded and filmed by her wonderful husband, RJ. May his memory be an absolute blessing and what a joy. What a joy. Well, thank you, Elaine. 33 and yeah, I'm going to have to dig up those YouTube videos again. I haven't thought about that for a while. 33 and 88, Elaine. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks again for your donation and your forever love of music. All right.

It's suppose to be kind of wet most of next week. So we'll be interested to see how that pans out. And of course it's a physical Friday night. So that means Guy Fieri is cooking all kinds of goodies. He's across the room from me on the TV. We're all in different parts of the country. And making me hungry even though I had dinner. Biggest thing I'll probably plan this weekend is I'm going to go out and get some ice cream. I haven't had ice cream in a couple of weeks. There's a sale going on this week. I just haven't had a chance to get to the store in a little while. The store that usually has the ice cream is on sale. I'm going to try to check that direction either tomorrow or Sunday. Hopefully I'll get it. And hopefully the lemon ice cream will still be there. Last time I checked it was there. I'm looking for some time tomorrow evening to have a nice cold bowl of ice cream and just chill. Beyond that, I've just been doing a little bit of radio and reading and hanging out with neighbors.

They were lucky they had enough money to put up that new bridge we got. That new bridge. That cost almost the entire budget. That new bridge is something. The first time I went over it, it's an impressive piece of steel. When I started doing plumbing in Montreal, they were talking about 50% of the water, the potable water was wasted in Montreal because of old infrastructure. They were talking about old wooden aquifers buried that are delivering water. I got to see old lead pipes in apartment buildings that took the water from the ground floor up. Montreal, the entire city needs huge, huge makeovers. I refused to drive on the Metropolitan. Once it started falling apart, I took the slow long way down on the ground. It's like the tunnels.

Had to be all clean because of the...you know plumbing, you know, you hit all the washers and stuff. All that sand got in there, and it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Just a big, sad-looking building. Luckily, the city of Montreal dropped us off drinking water every day. But man, you could even take a shower in it because it smelled like...it smelled like something, you know. Holy crap, I don't know how the sewage would get mixed in, but the sand and stuff happens almost every time there's a water main break.

We play best two out of three. And so while I get that set up, we're going to go to George, KB0MAI, and fill us in on what your weekend plans are, George. This is repeater station. I was going to say hooker but I was trying to be politically correct on this frequency but I just should have said hooker. That's why I chose waitress instead. Jeremy's doing just fine. Take it easy. Yesterday, Friday, yeah, I just kind of did chores. This morning I did the fun thing of paying bills. I was paying next month's bills just a couple weeks early. And reaffirmed my decision on what I did with my 401k and I'm still happy with what I did. Even though I lost quite a bit of money this last week because interest rates went up at the 13 and a half percent when I was in. But I'm still happy about it. I think that the economy is going to go to shit here pretty soon. This weekend, I don't know, my wife wants to do a little shopping. Clothes shopping for me, I really don't really care for that. I can think of 10,000 things better. But my wife will say I'm going to go. That's KV0PSF in the background there, by the way. I was thinking more the letter reset. There was an art show downtown in Kansas City. Now they had one a couple weeks ago but they were having another one. Oh, these are no game artists, stuff like that. I was thinking about wanting to go down there and look around. That would be a good place to maybe do some street photography, that kind of thing. So that's going to be my vote other than shopping. But I will be leaving here pretty soon so I will finish up this second game with you and I'm going to be taking off and having some breakfast with a friend. I hope I gave you enough time there, sir.

because it's just too damn cold for them but this is the time of year when it's starting to get colder where mice become an issue because the mice are the field mice that are outside are starting to look for warmer places so I have by my garage door I've got a couple of traps so that but I don't bait the traps I just put them there thinking that if you're going to stick your head in and try to crawl in you know you're in for a rude awakening and even if you can get around that I do have other traps in the back of the garage that I did bait with peanut butter because I found that when I beat the ones by the garage door they're outside and they could smell the peanut butter and they're like oh wow that smells good I'm going in there I don't want to draw them in so it's only if they manage to get by the the original gauntlet and then they actually make it in then I have no problem with baiting them so there you go alright VA3, KKY, Kevin must be cooling down up there too the change of seasons is upon us in fact tomorrow I believe is the last day of summer and it's the do you remember the 21st night of September so there you go over to you Kev what are you up to this weekend yeah it's already upon us so time is definitely flying really fast and all is on the way but see like today at the first star of the I had to kind of figure I wanted to be a little bit later on the list so I could have time to let's say think about the answers and but I didn't want to be far off like to where I was like on another team or something because then what ends up happening is if I'm too far in the list then everyone else has my answers so I had to kind of balance it out I didn't really know the balance so I'm just figuring things out hitting buttons and trying to catch on but what a game and let's see oh that was funny the other day today the same phenomenon happened where Echolink had to kind of catch up when it lagged a little bit so there was a good few minutes that it had to kind

last year I thought I was eating very healthy you know lots of veggies and all of that low salt and there was some crazy chemical that came out as high that I'd never heard of and the guy had said you know have you had been eating a lot of potatoes and I had like the day before eating this giant baked potato and I thought I was being healthy it was like shooting some level up so I try to try to be good and so I can't wait till Monday I figure by 730 a.m. Monday I will be able to trick do do all the tricking I can do if I'm going to do it because I do have an appointment with a retina specialist later in the week on like Thursday and my eye doctor seems to think that I might have pre-diabetes when I test myself I'm fine I mean it's higher when I first get out of bed but everybody is and even then it's like a hundred and four or something like that and then when I test it during the day I'm always up 92 93 so I don't know if that qualifies as pre-diabetes then I guess I am pre-diabetic but I thought if you were under a hundred you were fine so I don't know we'll see Bentley ve3 FBX it's the weekend and do you have any plans and if you do fill us in over to you VE 3 SBX good morning

There's something to be said for that last mow of the year.

Or if you have a bag and you can bag them up, it's easier to bag up a bunch of crunched up leaves than it is having to bend over and pick up a rake and try to jam them in a bag and all that stuff. That's a drag. But just the thought that like a month from now, all of the leaves are going to be down here. That's kind of depressing to me. But that's when we start thinking about the holidays and everything. And everything will be Halloween-y in a month from now anyway.

I came home, I got home Wednesday night and then Thursday, we did something, got a little bit too thirsty, oh my gosh. I tell you, now that I'm a year older, my mind is starting to go, I can't remember what I did Thursday morning. I know Thursday afternoon we went to Swift, we did dinner, something like that because of the driver appreciation and that's where I filled out a ticket and went on TV. My brother brought my mother and her friend out for the dinner that night, so we got to see my brother again. My wife got to see my brother for the first time because she hasn't seen him since he came out. Then yesterday, I ended up helping my son-in-law out. He was starting out a new job site and he needed to be there to help make sure that he didn't leave his guys alone while they were getting things set up and everything. I went down to the block place and picked up three deliveries of blocks and brought them back to the job site. That just about killed me. By the time it got to be about one, two o'clock in the afternoon, it was in the mid or upper 90s and it was just a lot of work. Plus, it was driving a stick again, having driven a stick forever. I did pretty good. It was like falling off a bike. Had a lot of fun. I was just thinking about wanting to drive a stick again just for the experience and for the fun of it. I got to do that. Then last night, we stopped at a few places while we were waiting for our friend to get off work. Then we went and had a Whataburger for dinner. This morning, we're going to go out with another friend of ours, the one from Germany. We're going to go have breakfast. Then I go back on the road. I grab my student and we take off. That's my birthday in a nutshell. At least I made it home.

So fall has definitely hit here. It's definitely cooler outside and enjoying the cooler weather. Not enjoying the fact that I'm moving up to western New York where it's going to be freezing.

I used to go to the Vienna factory and I used to see a lot of the workers in their clothing and I've heard about hot dog factories where there are certain areas where the funk is oozing out of the machine, you know, maybe like some really nasty looking fat or discolored product.

I just call it the Sears Tower So the rock and roll McDonald's is really cool just a lot of memorabilia, and there's a Corvette inside and all kinds of cool stuff and statues of McDonald land characters but they tore that down and and they made a new McDonald's and I still call it the rock and roll McDonald's, but I've done some extensive work there. We put a system in and The The head end of this system Was in one of their offices, and I'd have to I'd have to walk to walk in I'd have to walk through and walk past people and and the you know frying and Baskets and you have to be careful narrow aisles there. They they didn't give much for the cooking area Not for the eating area and let me reset one more time But McDonald's has changed they don't have griddles that you cook on anymore and They don't have the bun toasting machines like they used to The the meat goes into trays, and I don't remember exactly how the buns get handled, but it's not the same as it was and I Just don't like that smell in there and and the floor is like Hard to walk on if you don't have the right shoes, which I don't so it's slippery you could slide around in there But as soon as you go past the cashier that smell is gone The inside smell somehow is gone and I didn't eat McDonald's for a while After that I couldn't even eat McDonald's anymore. I was done but I I like their breakfast. I really do and their fries are good, but the burgers they Don't give me much energy But I think the coolest job that that I've ever done that one of the highlights is we They had shut off Buckingham fountain for those of you been in Chicago for the winter and Drained it and We worked on the inside well and the outside too but we replaced all the lights with LED and Again Underneath that fountain I'd come home smelling like mold But it was it was really cool.

We'll answer Rick's question. The AirPods, and that's Kevin's question too, the AirPods, I haven't tried them, so I'm only going by what was on the advertisement when they were advertising them during the event last week, but they translate in a different language. They translate in a different voice. They do not translate in the speaker's voice. Supposedly, it's at least semi, right after someone will ask you a question and then it'll just appear in your ear, the question that they asked, but in your own language. They go that way. Then if you want to say something back to them, you can have your phone, you can speak it in your language, and then you can hold up the phone and it'll be translated into their language. If they have AirPods Pro 2 or AirPods Pro 3 or AirPods 4, then you guys could have a conversation back and forth. It would be just like if you were doing a regular person that's translating. You would say or ask what you wanted to say or ask, and then that person's translation device would translate it into their own language. Then they would say something back to you and it would translate back to your language. It's just that, like I said, I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I tried it the other day with my AirPods Pro 2 when I was getting my haircut, or just when I was waiting to get my haircut. The hairstylist and her then haircutee were speaking Spanish, so I was trying to see if they would work. For some reason, I just wasn't able to get the mind to work. Now that I got the new ones, I'll be trying it out at some point, seeing how that works. I hope that answers your question. They do it in the mechanical voice, Siri voice, and it's directly at you.

I worked at the International Broadcast Center making sure that people coming in had their credentials. I got to meet Walter Cronkite, a much older Walter Cronkite. One night I parked at and they had a barge where they had tables set up with camera equipment and stuff for the people that were doing the America's Cup races. That was interesting.

And I mean, it's not like, you know, you're going fishing, right? You're not, you don't have a pole and a reel and stuff, you're not casting out nothing. You're throwing these pots. You throw them one day, you haul them, empty them, and then you throw them back in the water. And there's 200 of these things. That's what we'd throw every day, was 200 pots. Ah, so first we'd haul them in. They're tied together. For anybody that's never seen or done crab fishing before, the big pots or traps are tied together 50 in a string. So each one is tied to the one next to it with about 20 or 30 feet of rope separating them. About 10 feet of rope separating them, I guess. And you throw those to the bottom, you throw them in the water and they sink to the bottom because they're made of steel. And then the crab get into them. These things are all baited up, you know, with squid. That was the most disgusting part of it all, I think, was baiting the hooks, or skivers as we call them. Baiting the skivers with, um, squid. I don't like squid. It stinks. And it's just not something I want to deal with.

And you've got four strings of 50 pots per string. So you've got 200 altogether. And you go out in the ocean and you start dropping them at a determined location. You drop 50, and then you go to another spot and you drop 50, and you go to another spot and do the same thing until your 200 are done. Then when you come back the next day, there is crab filling about a quarter to a half of each of these traps. And once you get them aboard the boat with a winch, there's some string on there, and you let go of the string and you dump out the crab and measure them. And then as you're doing that, you're rebating, you know, with squid, those pots, the hooks that are in there, you're rebating them and stacking them again into your stack of 50. So once you get that done, then you start throwing them again off the back of the boat and fishing to the bottom. And you basically rinse and repeat every day until the season is over. And then at the end of the season when you haul your pots aboard and you empty your catch, that's it. And then normally then you go after shrimp. The shrimp are caught in the fall of the year, where cod is caught in the summertime. And scallops are caught earlier in the year. So, yeah, that was probably the coolest one I've had since computers. Like, picture the deadliest catch with slightly calmer water. And that was us. That's what we were doing.

But you're just constantly, like you said, around all that equipment all day, and even though it gets rinsed off, there's still a smell. So I don't know that I would like that, that line of work. So it's probably best as a fish eater to not have had any experience like that. But again, I mean, not all jobs are crappy jobs and some are truly interesting.

My first day I picked a guy up in Brighton and I drove him to have to go to Com Ave on in Brooklyn and I dropped him off he paid his fare we got out and I'm looking down the road and there's a guy flagging me down I'm like this is great so I drive up I he starts to get in the cab and somebody's blowing their horn full blast as loud as they possibly can look behind me there's another tab and I'm like hey I'm sorry I got him you know I got him first and he sweeps up next to the side of my cab and throws a cup of coffee you know in a plastic cup right on the right at the window I'm like what the heck is going on and then he leans out and he goes Brighton cabs don't pick up at Brookline you jerk I'm like oh I see I didn't know that so and plus doing things like when you drive to the airport they you get in line based on the pecking order of the current cabbies and you know new guy doesn't know anything about pecking order so I I just like you know I just pulled and got in the line and I had three or four cabbies come out and give me a tongue lashing for doing that so it was a it was an interesting job I finally walked away I'm driving a big old Chevy you know the rounded cabs um I was driving one of those and the heat wouldn't shut off and it is 90 degrees in Boston and the heat is blasting me right out of the cab and I get back to the garage and I said I'm done I am done I was soaking wet it was so hot unbelievable let me drop it for a second"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T06:15:30+00:00","id":42595,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42594,"text":" All right, also in Boston, when I got out of college, I had a couple of different jobs and one of them was working for a liquor distributor, Charles Gilman and Sons.

I mean, what you're doing is calculating what everybody's check is going to be for the amount of liquor that they have moved. And boy, you haven't lived until you've handed a 50 year old man with a wife and two kids, the monthly check of $56. That's all he made that month. That was bursting to tears. So that wasn't fun. But I was also in training to be a salesman for them. And this guy, I think his name was John Smith, if you can believe that. He would take me out in the afternoon and do his rounds. And he taught me all about how supermarket marketing and liquor marketing works. It's a matter of which bottles you know, you put the ones that I level are the ones that are inexpensive and cheap. And that's the ones you're going to pick. And then you'd neck one down at the trade ups and the trade ups are larger bottles at a bargain price. And then you can go all the way down to the handles at the very bottom, and how you set up the displays, how you block the aisle so people have to look at it and stuff like that.

Because we made the Fenway Franks. And he went down there one night and he was spooked. And it was like 5 o'clock in the afternoon, 4.30, 5 o'clock. And he saw this bridge with the low clearance. And he literally stopped, climbed out of the truck, climbed up on the roof to see if he would have the clearance. And cars are honking like crazy. He was able to get under it, but he was pretty worried. And there's plenty of videos, I think, on YouTube. If you just search like Storoe Drive bridge, you'll see all pictures or videos of trucks that have lost the tops. But I hear about stories about how you get a hack license in London. It's very difficult. You've got to know every location of everything in London.

Glad I could be here for it. Looking outside, the sun is shining. The next storm that's rolling through is moving to the north of me. So I think I'm going to head on my bike and head east, which I normally don't do. But I'm going to take some back roads and I'm going to have to go to this meat wholesaler. On Saturday mornings they open up their warehouse to the public from 8 to 1. And the thing I like there the most is the Italian beef. For those that you don't know about, it's a Chicago thing. And they take beef and they cook it in some gravy and seasonings. It's not like a mashed potato gravy, but almost like a watery broth. But it's seasoned. And anyways, it's big here. I'm sure some of you have had it. So they have the best around. And it's a good buy. I'm getting it wholesale pricing. Sometimes I buy six packages of that. I can go there. That place there, when I go grocery shopping, usually it's way under $100. And at Aldi, I like to keep it around $30. I go to Aldi enough where a lot of produce and stuff goes bad. So I go to Aldi two or three times a week and spend $30 here and there. But this place, it's easy to get over $100. It's just me and the wife, so we don't spend that much money on groceries. But that's where I'm going. I'm not sure if I'm going to pick anything else up there. Their baby back ribs are to die for. And I forget how many slabs I got for $30. It's quite a deal. But I still have one slab left. So I'm going to probably be cooking it soon. I wish I would have brought it home. I brought it out to Woodhaven. Otherwise I'd have it tonight.

So that's fine all the time, as long as it's the weekend. It's just questionable during the week, and I try my best to get out here. So the house has spoken. Everyone here has spoken. It seems like those breakfasts that they have as a two-headed dog sound like a good choice. My roommate was even saying, well, since we always seem to go there, let's do that maybe. And we'll get the, they make a pretty good spread with sausage and eggs. And then they throw in like a decayed melon from 40 years ago. No, I'm joking. But anyways, yeah, it's pretty good. I'll get a couple of those and then maybe make a quick stop at the Loblaws nearby and grab my famed Tim Horton's instant coffee so I can have at the crib. I'm going to keep that at the house. That will be the plan. So two-headed dog it is. It always seems to win. I mean, I always keep saying we've got to have variety. But that place always seems to have everything we need. So I guess we're hooking up with them at some point. So I hope everyone has a good Saturday and the remaining weekend, and we'll see what happens tomorrow. That one's always a question. But one of the hardest things to really do when you do a net is you've got to have people there, because you always hear my preamble, and I tell you that it's you guys that make the net. So if no one's really there, it's just kind of like it's a challenge. So Sunday's kind of become that. All right. So we'll figure it out. Someone will figure it out.

It's really nice to run this net every Saturday. It's always good. It's always entertaining. It's fun. And you do learn a lot on this net. So I like it a lot. I kept that job for about a month. And the final straw was the big old shabby cab. There was one other time, and this was still early in the month. I had a very short run. I picked somebody up on one street, drove her four blocks to her doctor. And dropped her off. And she said, OK, we'll wait. And so in a cab, there is a flag. And you raise and lower it. And when it's lowered all the way, you're calculating time. And there's also a halfway position for weight. And that weight time is done differently. So she gets out. I flip it to wait. She goes in there. She's in there about 30 minutes. And then she comes out again. And she looks at the machine. And the fare was like $15 now. It had been $250 when she went in. So now it's $15. And she got very, very aggravated by that. And I now know, after she tried to clock me two or three times with her handbag, why they put the handle on the partition on the driver's side.

And I'm looking forward to talking to you all on Monday. Watch out. We're going to do the royal quiz, if I can find it again. If not, it'll just be a general pup quiz. But if we can do the royal quiz, it'll be good. You'll enjoy it. And you'll learn something. So with that, 73s, guys, you have a great weekend. Talk to you soon.

I don't know whether it was the managers or the players or what. When I got home my son gave me a bad time because I didn't get their signatures. I could have sold those signatures at school or something. I don't know. The other thing was, we had a, Broadway Cab had an alert code. If you needed the police you had a code word you used and I had to use it a couple times, maybe three times, I don't know. I picked up this guy at the airport and took him over into Northeast Portland and dropped him off and he said he was going to go in and get the money. Well he didn't come and I kind of figured he was going to run out on the field. He had a big black drag he probably stole at the airport. So I called the police in and they said, well let me check around. They called me about 15 minutes later and they were over at a bar that was really close to there and they opened up the door and they said, is that him? And he was in there sitting at the bar. They hauled him out and put him in the police car. And finally they said, well what would it take? And I said, well probably about $45 now. But anyway we finally settled on about half that and they let him go. It's called theft of services. Anyway I had something else. The other one was I picked up a guy, I was just getting on the freeway to come home and the guy was kind of like almost hitchhiking. He got in the cab and I took him over in Northeast Portland again and he went into this apartment or whatever and he never comes. So I called for help and anyway another cab came to help me but anyway I guess we just left and the police called me later on and they wanted to know about this guy. I think this guy robbed a bank later on. So anyway that was my stories I guess. I went to Pendleton, Oregon with a guy and he had no money. I don't know how he got to Portland but picked him up to train depot and took him 200 miles away."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T06:51:37+00:00","id":42622,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42621,"text":" Oh, Mary, you timed out."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T06:53:36+00:00","id":42623,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42622,"text":" Sorry about that.

I wasn't normally a night driver. A lady got in, a girl got in and said take me to the fly. Well, I didn't know where the fly was. It was a bar over on Foster Road here. I know where it is now. My cousin actually lived about a mile from there. Anyway, I'm just hoping these shots don't hurt too much today and we'll probably catch you tomorrow. I guess there is no net tomorrow.

Um, when you know you have that little piece of, little fine wires that acts as your ground, and you don't have anything to, um, connect it to, cause I'm just using, you know, the main wire, to go to a, um, um, an RCA plug. Right? I'm just going wire to wire. Right? And, uh, I'm not sure what to do with the grounding wire. And it's funny, it's only on the, on the positive side. Well this is on the negative as well. Anyway. Um, yeah, my, and I soldered them up nicely, and I, and I, uh, I spliced them together nicely. But, uh, still I, I don't know what the, what the problem could be.

I have a satellite TV and I actually record everything. Newses, all our programs are recorded and I just fast forward through the commercials and works pretty good. I also, we don't have any premium channels but I did buy Paramount Plus and I paid an extra dollar a month on that and they don't show commercials. So some of them, anything that's on CBS I generally can watch it on Paramount Plus and then I don't have to watch the commercials so. Yeah it seems like you know sometimes they start out slow and then they gradually increase the time. One of the, they found a way to bypass it somehow and they'll put on their commercials like for two minutes and when that happens if I can't fast forward it I just turn the sound off so and just wait depending on how bad I want to watch the show.

There are a lot of brew pubs out this way as well as distilleries and of course it's in one country, so your choice of poison. But we're going to go and check that out. There's a rich history of growing hops here and a century ago it was a huge industry. People would flock here to work in the summers, that kind of thing. Anyway, it should be a fun time. We also checked out the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall last night and we're going to go back probably today. It is 75% the size of the full Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. It is quite an exhibit. I didn't realize it was going to be that large, but it's a full replica at 75% size. We're going to check that out again. It's just a beautiful, remarkable honor really to the people who served and died in that war. Other than that, just waking up, getting started with my day. This interesting TV discussion, I needed some kind of access to channels because I couldn't use an antenna here in Independence unlike where I was before. I started out with YouTube TV and that gives you all the channels, but it's expensive. I now have Hulu live in order to get those same channels and I just cut it down to Hulu just so we can stream Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune for Grandma. That's basically it. We also have Apple TV and Prime Video. We have plenty of things to watch for sure. Anyway, I hope everyone has a great day and see you in the morning.

The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and a PL tone of 103.5. All licensed hams and new licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third-party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. We encourage you to press that button to tell us a little bit about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else. Please limit your reports to three minutes so we can get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater times up.

Good morning, everyone. Good morning, Chase and Dana, if you're listening. Not much is going on yet. I ate breakfast. But I... it's been a while. I have been traveling. And I feel bad because, like, I don't feel comfortable announcing that I'm going to be, like, gone for a long time on ham radio. Like, I don't know, just... it's one of those... I think I have maybe, like, a higher privacy bar than some people. So now it's not on the air. It's not great. But then... and then I'm just gone. And so I've been gone for, like, maybe a month, maybe five weeks. Visiting family in California, taking advantage of being able to work remotely, and... And, yeah, just spending time with my folks and my nieces and nephews and Jesse's folks. And it was really great. I went with the intention of, like, all right, I got Droidstar set up and, like, I really want to check in on the nets on the weekends. And, you know what, like, the nieces and nephews, like, always had some activity they wanted to do or whatnot at nine in the morning. And so I ended up just doing all sorts of crazy family stuff. It was pretty fantastic. I guess one thing I have been doing this morning was actually looking at finding a spare tire for my car because on this trip I ended up getting a... Some sidewall puncture that was, like, big enough to stick my thumb into on a country road and my car did not come with a spare tire. And the fix-a-flat that it comes with that they're like, yeah, you just put this in and pump it up, can't repair a hole that size. So I ended up waiting for, like, four hours for a tow truck to come down this country road and pick me up to get a new tire. So, yeah, I'd like to avoid that sometimes because I'd like to go down country roads in the future. But, yeah, we'll see what I come up with. Anyways, I am so glad to be back in Pacific Northwest. The cooler weather is fantastic and I am happy to say hi to everyone. Hope you all have a great Saturday. Get your T.P. back in the car. All-star Node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. All right, Matt. Hey, great to have you back in town. Say hi to Jesse and I'm glad you had such a good time with the family. Boy, you know, you can't really get tired... Well, I guess you get a bigger tire, a beefier tire, right? You know, and so forth, you know, extended trips, extended mileage, that kind of thing. But that is really wild. What do you think it was that went through the sidewall of your tire?"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T09:11:49+00:00","id":42729,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":42728,"text":" I'm not entirely sure. I have maybe two top guesses. It was a paved road, but it was incredibly rough and so I had like, I'd actually like, the speed limit was like 55 and I was going like 30 or you know 25 to 30 because the road was so rough and I was afraid of popping a hole. There were some really, I guess I would say like jagged potholes and so I guess my top two guesses are that I hit a pothole with a like a you know really rough edge and it just tore a hole in the side or I hit a chunk of asphalt that had come out of one of those potholes and it basically just tore a hole in the side. I guess my follow up guess is it was right after I went over a bridge and I, it's possible that maybe like a piece of metal from like where the bridge interface is with the road or something was was sticking up or something like that and tore a hole in the side wall. Not sure. But yeah, my top two guesses were you know either jagged pothole or a piece of asphalt that came out of one because it was it was very poor repair road. Fortunately, yeah, didn't get hurt, didn't lose control. I was going relatively slow and the despite having a big hole in the side wall, the tire pressure monitors immediately were like you know tire pressure low and I was like oh you know let me pull over. So it didn't actually fully blow out which is I'm happy about. But yeah, there's no putting air back in that thing.

It was nice and quiet. Now for a wonderful sushi dinner and there's a really good sushi place over in Redmond, so we drove over to there and that would be Redmond, Oregon and had sushi and just had a wonderful time. And yeah, so kind of quiet, but that's alright. Got some really good bocce, got a game of bocce in last night. Lots of fun there. The only trouble is the scoreboard I have for the bocce court has all these little holes of cardboard in it. It's sort of like it looks like a pitch board. And the only problem is the brick bees have laid their larvae in there. So it's like, and then they wax them over so they kind of improvised on a scoreboard last night because I don't really want to hurt the little brick bees that are in there. So oh well, they are pollinators around here so yeah, don't really want to hurt them. And let's see what else is going on. Not much, got some shopping to do today and Sam's going to a birthday party for a neighbor down, 90th birthday party for a neighbor down the road. And I'm going to take a nap and we're just going to have a quiet day today. Right now she's making granola and I've got to go grab my English muffin out of this oyster. And let's see, other than that, tomorrow is the question. Depending on the weather, we're not sure kind of what we're going to do. I sort of have this kind of jonesing to go down to Newberry Caldera and poke around there because it's out of season and might be kind of fun to drive down there. I haven't been there in a while.

Of course everyone was wishing me a happy birthday at church and then my brother Rob took me out to dinner that night so that was nice and I had a piece of carrot cake. I brought that home. I love carrot cake. So that was my birthday cake and let me see what else. A couple things I was going to say. Oh I've decided to give my alto facts away and we're going to take it to a music store probably in the next couple weeks and I will pay to have any repairs done that it needs like new pads and things like that and I will ask the owner of the store or whoever to either use it as a rental or to give it to someone who really needs it and would like to learn to play the sax. I got it in when I was 16. I can't even think of the year that I got it. I guess 1965 that's right because I graduated in 66. So 1965 my dad got me the brand new one before I started playing. It started competing for the district regional band for my junior year. So if I can just get this fixed up and give it to somebody so they can use it that'll be a wonderful blessing and I'm looking forward to doing that.

Good morning, everyone. Another beautiful day here in the great Northwest. Michael is trying to track the whereabouts of Teresa and all these other people. I'm having a hard time just tracking my own whereabouts. Right now I'm at my home QTH. And I know the salmon run is activated. It's running. And I went to their website. And I swear, I'm a little confused. It looks like an event you have to sign up, register for, and stations outside Washington State were calling Washington State stations for QSO points and county multiplier credit, stations within Washington State were stations in states, Canada, call areas, the XCC entries, and so forth. And anyway, it seems all very formal to me. So the best I'm going to do today is just kind of listen in and find out what the activity is all about. Very limited here. Mostly I've just got an antenna for six meters. But I think I can listen to some of the other stuff. One of these days, I'm going to take my equipment. I've got all kinds of portable equipment and mobile equipment and antennas and radios, for each F and all that. Really sit down and organize myself and go out there into the field and have some field fun. And I may do that yet before the fall turns to wet, complete wet. But today I am doing painting still, working on a friend's scares doing the railing today, a little patching and priming to do, and then hopefully put on the final coating of tonight or tomorrow. Fortunately for me, the weather's been holding out, so I'm happy about that. And got a pretty early fixed breakfast, working on the dishes and stuff now. Trying to keep my place straightened out, which is a challenge, because every time I go looking for something, I drag out all these boxes. And then I've got to put the boxes back and try to remember where they were and labeling and all that stuff. So my life is slowly improving, slowly getting organized. But it takes effort even just to keep even much less getting ahead on stuff. Well, enough of Tim's issues. Back to the rest of the world, KI7-ZEI. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. All star node 6222. All right, well, they don't seem so much like issues as they are opportunities. So there you go. Well, good luck, Tim. Hey, you have a great day. Salmon Run. Yeah, that's going on today through tomorrow. I think they do a break overnight. But yeah, if you want to get out to that, it's super easy. Just type in Salmon Run into your favorite Netscape browser. Ha ha ha. And yeah, all the information is right there, but he's currently going. So there you go. Go make some contacts. On eight, yeah. All right, Tim, thank you so much.

No, I thought you were gonna do that. Well, you should do this. Somebody should do that and nobody did that. So we rescheduled for Tuesday to let them get their acting here.

I probably put in close to three hours at work. And so pretty busy, which is good, since the economy, they're saying it's slowing down. You can tell by us. So anyway, we did that. And now I'm doing a bunch of catch up. I put out some fall decorations. And just getting some stuff done around here. And oh, I saw that petition too for the league petition for a letter to the legislator. So I went ahead and sent that off. I think that's a great idea. Hopefully this time we'll get some traction and actually be able to do something with it. So that'll be a good thing, since we're in an HOA. And anyway, we've got a beautiful day out here. I'm looking out in the backyard or back patio, and it's sunny. I don't see any clouds. And temperature on the front porch is 58 degrees. And that's in the shade. So in the sun it's a lot warmer. But anyway, that's about it. Good to hear everyone on the net. And hope everyone's having a very good morning. I think we might head out and head in the woods with the bike later on when it gets just a little bit warmer. And by then we'll have a few things knocked out that I wanted to get done.

We got up and you know the coffee in hotel rooms, we're total coffee snobs, so we neglected to bring our mobile coffee set up so I thought, hey, we're right next door to a cafe. I walked over there and they don't open it until 9am. What kind of cafe doesn't open until 9? So I thought, okay, I'm resourceful. I looked at the map and I found a bagel place. So I did take maybe more than one wrong turn going there because you know I created a map to save my life. But I made it there and I picked up some bagel chips, a half dozen bagels and some really good coffee. So I got back to the hotel room, not realizing that I had taken both keys with me so poor Robert couldn't go anywhere. He's wondering where in the world is she? She just went next door. So he is a saint. He's a very patient man and he was rewarded for it because I brought him coffee. And then we went to this restaurant called Devoted Kiss. It was recommended to us. Holy moly, did not disappoint. It was right on the water. We sat on the deck and had the most beautiful breakfast. So now we are here and ready to get the truck loaded up. So thank you again, Jack, for all your help. And thanks for being awesome and for everything that you do. We can't even tell you how much we appreciate you.

So I closed it and decided to just kind of continue my morning go. They had some decent water. They had the Kirkland, but not the... My favorite Keurig pod is the San Francisco Bay because they use different... It's not in a plastic pod. It's in a biodegradable pod. So I like the economy behind it. But yeah, the coffee she brought was fantastic. It was just the right temperature. A guy got my Yeti cup cleaned out, poured it in there, and it's still warm and I'm still enjoying it. So there you go. And what else? Yeah, just here to get things loaded up. I'm not looking forward to the loading process, but you know, Jack, that's what you got to do.

He's down there in Texas doing things. He is all set up in his apartment. He's got a ZHF radio set up so he can do his CW on all the bands he normally operates. And also working on putting up a 300-foot tower for a religious radio organization that he's volunteering for. So progress on that seems to be going pretty well. They don't have the new tower up yet. It's going to be a 300-foot tower. What they do have is they've got the supports for the guy wires and so forth. They're getting in locations. So that's what's going on this week. Anyway, he's doing fine down there. The weather is quite warm. Temperature 90s, humidity in the 50s, so not too, too bad. I told him we're having a beautiful day up here, which indeed we are.

Other than that, that's pretty much it. Um, I'm, I'm, uh, just kicking back and not keying up as much, because I do believe we have some sort of thing going on this week or this weekend. So, um, I've been making room for that so that they can do their thing as well on, I think we have some sort of emergency thing going on, I guess this weekend or during, sometime next week or something.

The time for sweatpants and sweatshirts will be coming all too soon. Let's see, it was kind of quiet to start to the net for Jack this morning. He was covering for Theresa and Dana, but it did get busy or after then. We're still sitting here waiting for a delivery of our new grill. We finally bought a brand new grill. We've been getting used grills, hand-me-downs from the father-in-law of the last two gas grills that we got. So we finally went out and bought one that we wanted to brand new. So we're looking forward to that coming in the next hour or less. And get that all burned off, all the chemicals and stuff like that. Get it ready for a lifetime of good food. Let's see, yeah, they made it. There's supposed to be some changing weather coming soon. And you can definitely feel it's chillier in the morning, but, you know, I'm not going to complain about it.

Hey, maybe I'll start turning the leaves over, because I think winter's coming on. And let's see here. Oh, the grill. That's super awesome. Good luck with that. I'm sure it'll last a lifetime. I have this little Weber pot grill I've had for like 25, 30 years now. It just keeps chugging away. There's these little side wires that can hold the bricks to the side so you can do indirect heating. Those are rusting away, but otherwise, the unit itself, everything is perfectly fine. And so I enjoy that as well. I started using this little Aussie grill I have. It's this tiny little grill thing that runs on propane. I use that because it's just like quick set up, and off you go versus charcoal, which is a bit slower. It usually takes me a good half hour or more before the barbecue to get myself ready. So it sounds like you're going propane, and you'll be cooking with gas, as they say. Good seeing you, Keith. Have a good rest of your weekend. Let's see here. Nate was already talked to.

Maybe you can just take it in and have them take a look at it for a modest cost. I don't know how much it would cost, but I would consider having that done. Goodness knows, probably some voltage regulator or something is giving out, and that's why there's a hum. That's my guess, but I certainly couldn't help you find it. So if anyone else knows why an IC706 would hum, given the things he's already done to try to mitigate that, go ahead and pipe up. At any rate, let's see here. That's the end of my list.

Yeah, usually I'm not in a situation where I'm going back and forth like that. I'm either leaving or coming back.

So I'll be streaming it, and I'll go out of the garage, and I'll start going down, and all of a sudden it'll drop. And I'm like, well, should I reconnect it? And I'll wait, and it'll reconnect. And same thing happens in the car too. So the Wi-Fi actually does reach pretty far. It's just when it hands off, you know enough about tech, you know how it works. So in some places, like, oh, it handed off sooner than you expected, or it handed off later than you expected. So normally it's not a problem. And like in our woods here, we have the, let's see, we have the 4G and the LTE section and the 5G section. So depending on where you're walking in the woods, you may have 5G. Sometimes you may only get LTE. And let's see, up here on the one on 41st, I think that's usually, I think that's 4G, but 4G or 5G. But yeah, the woods have good coverage here. So that works good. Anyway, thanks, Kirk. I sure appreciate your patience helping me try to figure this out. And everyone have a good afternoon. Get out and enjoy the sunshine.

We had 31 new launches this week and nine new launches yesterday. We had a total of 36 balloons beaconed today and we only lost track of four of them this week.

Delta Oscar 3, Golf Uniform 33, is off the coast of Nova Scotia and Sierra Papa 2, Romeo Oscar Charlie 41, is off the coast of Newfoundland.

Alpha Bravo 9, Lima Mike Dash 11 is circling the Earth for 592 days, that's 592 days. Just a heads up for the guys that are monitoring the Canada Hub group, V7 NFR, they have a GoFundMe page to help support their upcoming launch.

All it is actually is basically a party balloon and you put helium in it. Actually if you just go to my YouTube page, put my call sign, you'll actually see the payload and the balloon and how it's attached to a 20 meter dipole. There's I think 13 feet from the balloon to the payload and then they drop another 13 feet wire. It's very, very small wire and it transmits on 20 meters. There's many solar panels on board that gives you your voltage. There's a micro capacitor that holds the voltage so that it can relay messages to the earth every two or three minutes. And the best thing to do is look at the payload on my YouTube and then you can read the instructions of all what the payload computer can do for you. And it's just very exciting to see them travel that far. It transmits on .225 of a watt, almost the same power that it takes to operate your remote control and yet it transmits 1500 kilometers up to earth at 40,000 meters. Over. 40,000 feet.

Talks for tonight. And from the top of the two years of the ones we have, strange week here in the sky this week, in the Science Trivia Corner. And right after that, the first main topic. It's about lab-grown brain cells. And if lab-grown brain cells become conscious, should scientists continue experimenting on them? So there's an ethical question coming about that, because they're now trying to develop neural networks with cells that are simulating brain cells, and scientists are now worried that at some point, if they manage to connect these in a way that they started exhibiting consciousness, should we still be experimenting on them? A 90% chance, we will see a black hole explode in about 10 years, and there's a black hole that's growing faster than the theoretical limits. And are we prepared if a rare, powerful solar storm hits us? And where does the Big Bang happen? Stories about the singularity, etc. But where does the Big Bang actually happen? And the Big Bang and cosmic inflation, and it dropped better than aspirin for the tree's artifacts, and Stephen Hawking was right once again about black holes, and insects dying off an ecosystem. I had that one for last week, and I didn't get it out, so I thought we'd put it out here tonight, and a new type of ankylosaur, a dinosaur.
