So they're particularly sensitive to chemo and the follicles, the follicle for the hair, it goes into a hyper state of stress. So it either stops hair growth at that point, the follicles then expel fibers in the growth stage or just let them go dormant. So it tends to be this stuff that goes and just expel hairs and go dormant. So post-treatment, so the important thing here is post-treatment, stem cells and follicles, they wake up at this point.

So that's the reason why people who undergo chemo tend to have curly hair. In fact, the chemo also has the same sort of effect on other organs in the body.

That's actually pretty low I'll pull the date and see how that corresponds to other years so typically Canada sees somewhere around a hundred tornadoes a year. It varies between like 90 and 115 a busy year can be 130 tornadoes or so and again it's not that it's not that that because of such a big country tornadoes occur in places where there simply aren't people so a lot of these tornadoes get missed they're found at other times of the year but this year overall the severe thunderstorms there hasn't there have been severe thunderstorms certainly but the the total volume of severe thunderstorms this year is definitely lower than it has been in years gone by and that's been partially attributed to the forest fires and some other changes it's also there's also a drought that's affecting Western Canada which hinders the numbers and here in southern Ontario it's been it's been pretty dry as of late as well so we haven't been able to add to the number so it's pretty low as far as tornadoes go for for us just an interesting tidbit.

But they can, they're put together, and when they're put together they're referred to as an assembloid. And they take on functions, even additional regions to the brain as well. So they can design these things that have specific functions, and they can design them to almost the pairs that they're seeking on, specific regions of the brain. And scientists have been able to assemble them to capture cell-to-cell interactions seen in a real brain. And although these assemblies of cells, they resemble actual brain cell structure, scientists are arguing that the structures, they don't have consciousness. They're not aware, they're not self-aware of the ability to sense the world around them or to have feelings or sensations. However, there's another side of the argument that these cells are on the cusp of consciousness, and science is not ready for that eventuality. There was a report, September 12th, where scientists stated that serious consideration needs to be taken to deal with the prospect that these cells may gain consciousness very soon. And that would then shape regulations, at least they would hope that would shape regulations of how these cells are treated in the lab.

Long lines is what animals actually feel pain, what animals actually have their ascension. So it was redefining animals as to how they are to be treated. So there were a little host of animals that fell into that category. I don't know if you can see how any animal couldn't.

I think for a lot of people, the big bang, it sort of conjures up this idea of a huge, an extremely huge, an understatement, an extremely huge explosion from a central point that was expanding outwards in all directions. And scientists, they think that the big bang didn't happen at a single location in space. There's a lot of contention now about whether the singularity actually existed or not, even the singularity within a black hole. There's a lot of arguments now whether there's such a thing there. Mathematically, it shouldn't exist because it can't, but that concept's also taken into the realm of the big bang. So, in the case of the big bang, it didn't happen in a single location. It occurred everywhere at once. And I think of all the galaxies in the universe, there's points on the surface of an empty balloon. Sometimes you use a balloon to show by example how everything in the universe can expand faster than the speed of light, but it's not that they're traveling themselves further away, but it's space itself that's dragging them along. So, the same sort of thinking can go in with the universe. So, you think it would be all the galaxies in the universe would point to the surface of an empty balloon. And as the balloon expands, the galaxies all move away from one another, but there's no single point on the surface that the galaxies are expanding away from.

The singularity itself, when you look at it as the classical description of the singularity where the universe comes from, it contains all the matter and time it takes. So, singularity, you can think of a singularity as a black hole, you can think of a singularity as what they thought of as a point in which the universe began, but singularity, it can be described as a state of probable impossibility where physics and math breaks down, which we would think of as like the heart of a black hole. However, in terms of space, scientists are likely talking about infinite density, but not infinitesimal size. You could have a singularity extend across the entirety of space. A singularity should, in most cases, be thought of as a phenomenon of time and not a specific place in space. You could have a huge amount of density, an incredible amount of density somewhere, but it's not located at any particular place in space. So, the Big Bang singularity could be at the cosmos past, but not in a particular place and not at a single point. But a large singularity doesn't sort of jive well with the cosmic microwave background, because the cosmic background is almost flawless, it's actually too perfect, and the light from it is extremely uniform."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T19:08:23+00:00","id":43072,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":43071,"text":" And in this, the light came from the primordial plasma, so that's what the CMB is.

So the temperature was just about perfect. In the standard bang model, there exists no reason why the plasma, billions of light-years apart, should be the same temperature all across the sky. For anything to come in to the same temperature everywhere, it needs to be in contact for a period of time. So like a warm cup of tea or a bowl of soup, it will come into room temperature at some point in time because that bowl of soup is in contact with the air around it.

So how is it that they managed to remain beautiful in temperature? They were always, right from the beginning, too far apart for light or even any info to pass between them. And any light from them is meeting constantly in the here and now for the first time. And how did the two points outside each other's observable universe get to be at exactly the same temperature?

All this happened in about a billionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second. And at this point, the energy field resulting in inflation, it waned, or even decayed, and the cosmos filled itself with radiation. Expansion then slowed and as expansion slowed, there was an energy dump and that energy dump got converted into some of the particles and things you see around us now. So inflation stopped moving and scientists still don't know what caused it or why it stopped. And they really don't know where the beginning of the universe is.

And that energy had an amplitude and a plateau, and was considered potential energy at that point. And there was a moment in time where it was also incorporated with, referred to as negative pressure. And between this potential energy that wasn't doing anything at the time and this negative pressure and the big bang emulsion, you had a downward spiral of all this potential energy, now converted into kinetic energy, and all the radiation was dissipated, and all of a sudden you started getting particles and things happening in the universe.

Dark energy, take the same bottle of champagne. This time you're pulling the cork out. But what's happening now is energy's now being put back in the bottle, so the energy of your hand pulling the cork out is now being transferred back into the bottle, and it's causing the field inside the bottle to be uniform throughout the volume of the bottle now. And as a result of that, you have this outward, this outward pressure, so you have energy being sucked in, and you've got this negative pressure causing everything to be expanded away from it. So that's the two differences. One is when you're opening it up in normal terms, there's normal pressure, you're taking pressure out of the bottle, negative energy, there's energy being put in just from the mechanics of trying to pull the cork out. And most, when you think of fields that can dissipate over time, their energy field is uniform, in a traditional sense, and the inverse square applies to that, whereas with negative energy, it's different. As you increase the volume, sort of the energy, the energy itself doesn't increase, but it fills up that volume. Whereas normal energy does not. So a bit of a difference there.

This one starts off by taking us back to 1859, in August, 1859. And astronomers, they witnessed an unusually large number of dark spots on the Sun's surface. And one of the astronomers, one of the observers, was Richard Carrington. He was an astronomer who lived just outside of London. And on that day, he was projecting the Sun's image onto a screen, when he noticed this intense white light, it was actually a white light flare, and it lasted about five minutes. And this was a coronal mass ejection, that's the first of five gaps, the plasma, that's the plasma, that was ejected off the Sun's outer atmosphere, the corona. And the mass of plasma, it was ejected right towards us, and it collided with the magnetosphere, and the magnetic field around the Earth. And the resulting disturbance caused these fast-moving particles from the, coming off the Sun to transfer their energy to the magnetosphere, and it then produced a geomagnetic storm. So it was a character event, which it was called, it is now known, it actually caused a huge amount of havoc on the telephone lines. At the time, telegraph operators were seeing sparks flying out of their equipment, and telegraph stations caught on fire. There was a conversation between two telegraph operators about the incident.

So these magnetic field lines, they loop around the Sun to the north pole and the south, like those on a bar magnet, like the Earth as well. And if you have some iron filings you can do a good experiment. You can see that same effect. It's quite startling if you have some filings, like a magnet, some filings on paper, put a magnet underneath and see all the magnetic field lines. But as the Sun rotates and different parts of the Sun actually rotate at different speeds, the feelings of tons of hot plasma are constantly stirred, getting intermixed, and some are getting torn this way, others getting torn that way.

And while black holes are typically known for eating everything up around them, scientists have long theorized that they eventually explode at the end of their lives through a process referred to as clocking radiation.

Our current space and ground-based telescopes are already capable of detecting an explosion like that. Black holes are most likely to explode, part of the mass of stellar remnants, but rather these small primordial black holes, PDHs, I'll refer to that as we go on here. And Stephen Hawking, Stephen Hawking showed in 1970, the lighter a black hole is, the hotter it becomes and the more particles it emits through Hawking's radiation. So as these PDHs evaporate, they become even lighter, and as they do, the same hotter, emitting even more radiation in a runaway process until they just explode."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T19:42:01+00:00","id":43124,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":43123,"text":" And the breakthrough came when a team of researchers started to question assumptions about black coal's electrical properties.

And a dark electron is much heavier than a heavier version of the regular electron, but interacting through a dark electromagnetic force instead of ordinary electromagnetic magnetism. Here are the models that these particles carry dark electrons and charge to interact with dark photons, potentially affecting how matter behaves around a black coal. So it's the dark matter version of what we think of as electrons and photons and things like that, but they have just a little bit different effect."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T19:42:33+00:00","id":43125,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":43124,"text":" So this research team, they made a different assumption about the electrical properties of these primordial black holes.

And there's no guarantee an explosion will occur this decade. High probability means that we should be kind of prepared for one.

So that means you've got greater gravitational effects pulling inward on it, on the event horizon. So you've got these humongous gravitational effects pulling inward and that results in energy being created, that energy gets diverted outward. And as the Hawking radiation is being emitted out of a black hole, the black hole starts to lose mass and as it does, it starts to pull inward even more and it gives off more radiation until finally it just explodes.

The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset and a PL tone of 103.5. All licensed fans 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, tell us a little about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else. As always, please limit your reports to three minutes so we can get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished with your report, please end with your call sign. That'll keep the FCC happy. We'll be compiling lists of stations that would like to check in, and then we'll ask for your reports. If you'd like to check in only, just let us know. You'll be in and out, also known as an I.O.

Well let's see, I spent today trying to come up with a song to follow the battle hymn of the republic that won't send people out the door. So you know the battle hymn of the republic sets up this mood and I'd like something to keep up the mood. My cousin Rob suggested I follow it with some of the military hymns and that definitely works. In fact I've been known to play the battle hymn of the republic, The caissons go rolling along, anchors away, halls of Montezuma, Aim High and the Coast Guard hymn, followed by America the Beautiful. But in an art gallery, you can get away with the battle hymn of the republic, but then the military hymn of the service songs, I'm just not sure. And I would like, because it's an art gallery, I would like people to stay around. The battle hymn of the republic draws people and that's why I'd like to be able to follow it with something that keeps the people I've so carefully drawn in the door keeping there. Other than that, I have managed to inculcate new characters into my epic without using the names of any Hawaiian royalty. That's actually a good thing for me because Hawaiian royalty is where I go when I'm desperate for character names. Then I have to remember to search and replace them before I publish the book because that's just weird in the middle of a space opera. So anyway, that's about all I have to say. It was beautiful out. I spent my time outside trying to figure out my glory hallelujah problem. And other than that, that's about all I've done. 73, 33, 88 to all of you. Thanks Bill for doing the net and to Jeff for holding the frequency while Bill got his equipment going. And thanks to all of you for listening. I love you all. This is KA9EHB back to net. Well thank you Ann. You have two challenging artistic problems there. I don't know what to substitute for Hawaiian royalty if you like that kind of thing. How about, I'm thinking to Jeff here of Roman emperors. He's got a nice lift of them as long as you're going to replace them anyway. Maybe they'll work. Who knows. The other one, the battle. What do you do after the battle in the Republic? How does something sort of, if I want people to hang around, I want something sort of peaceful and walkable. You know, andante. So they feel like strolling slowly through the gallery. So that's the tempo I suggest, andante. Alright, Brooks. Brooks, how are you doing tonight? KA9EHB, come in. Thanks for watching."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-20T21:13:30+00:00","id":43196,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":43195,"text":" Good evening there Bill and everyone on the net. K9 BDC Brooks here in Newcastle. Yeah, I think there was an issue with the repeater when you first got started there Bill because I noticed some goofiness I keyed up and the motor scope wasn't working so I reset the receivers there and it seems like it was working now. So yeah, there we go. So I have, let's see, my news is that I have a new antenna brand spanking new. It's been sitting in my room, my back bedroom for about a year I think and it's just been waiting to go up. I posted some pictures on the PSRD group. It is a Diamond X 300A. It's 10 feet tall and is now at the peak of my roof. So it was, I had to go borrow a ladder to get up there. I had to build a block that I could mount the antenna mast to and then I painted it to match the trim. So I think it turned out really nice and from what I can tell it sounds really good. I was just on the Simplex net and I was able to hear Skipper up in Granite Falls which I've never been able to hear before and then there was a station down south that I heard that I didn't usually hear and I can't remember what station that was. But yeah, so that was pretty cool. But yeah, now I'm very tired because it was a lot to get all of that put together. But anyway, outside of that we took the doggos to the dog park today. So that was a lot of fun. They got to run around Marymore and go swimming and everything. So yeah, so now it's just kind of relaxing for the rest of the night I think. We've got some things we're doing tomorrow. I don't know. You have to ask Megan. I don't know if she's going to check in or not. Why don't you put her down as an IO K9 MLR. She's probably not going to check in. But in case she does, she'll come back. Anyway, oh and then I was supposed to pass on, let's see, radio waves from Devon N7 IQZ from Winthrop.

Kami here, KJ7RAB. I am tired and sore. Everything hurts. Oh, boy. We did a lot of work this weekend in Gig Harbor, helping out with the estate of a silent key. We got everything packed up and sorted and moved down into the garage Friday, and then we spent Friday night in Gig Harbor and then got everything loaded into the truck today and then drove home and got the truck unloaded. And so we've got to return the truck tomorrow. So stay tuned for a list of gear. I have a message from Jack on the back end. Jack came and helped us out on Friday as well. And thank you so much, Jack. It was great to hang out, and it was really nice to have some extra help. And then Jack messaged me, but my hair hurts. Oh, yeah. The shack was upstairs, and they weren't just regular stairs. They kind of went down and then made a turn and went down the rest of the way. So Jack and I were wrangling these metal shelves down the stairs and then trying to make the turn. And I'm sure it was comical to watch, but I think we did a pretty good job of wrangling those shelves down the stairs. And not too many boat anchor radios, but we got it all sorted. And Robert is master of Tetris. And so I just leave that all to him, arranging it in the truck and in the garage, because if I put it in the wrong spot, he'll move it. He's snoring. He's so tired, he's asleep already. So he won't be checking in. But I'm rambling. Brooks, your antenna looks great. Your shack looks amazing, and I'm really envious of that power supply. Give my best to Megan and Jeff, AB6MB. Thanks for coming in at the beginning and stalling so Bill could get everything sorted. And Brooks, thanks for resetting all of those receivers to make everything work again. Thanks for hosting, and thanks for taking my check in KJ7RAB, back to night control. Cami, that sounds like a lot of work you guys put in. Just telling us that Robert is actually passed out of sleep tells us how much work it is, because he usually has a lot of energy to ston the night on the net. And I guess, yeah, I guess like Jack says, that would make your hair hurt. Well, good for you for getting that stuff out and taking care of the partner of the silent key so that she doesn't have to be burdened with it. And you can help some new hands get some great equipment. Thanks for doing that stuff. We really appreciate that. It's good for the community, and we thank you. Let's talk to Jeff, the savior of the moment. I should explain that not only were we unlucky enough to have a dead repeater, I had been doing some ACS work earlier in the week and all those fire station things where you go out there. I packed all this equipment away, and I put this little teeny box of the connectors that get from my J-Pole into my transceiver. And I just thought I might need something like that, so I put them in my bag. And of course, when I came up here to get going, they aren't here, because they're still somewhere in my bag. So I was panicking, trying to replace, you know, find the right connectors to replace what I couldn't find. And then the repeater's dead. So sometimes the world is not looking out for you. You have to look out for yourself. But we had Jeff and Brooks looking out for us, and I said, Jeff, thank you so much. Over to you. Thank you very much. It was nothing. Just glad to help. It was from my experience of being a neck controller that came in, that's for sure. Because it just didn't miss a beat. Yeah, thanks for doing that, Bill. And yeah, today was a good day. I watched Washington Huskies beat Washington State University Cougars. I just remember what the animal was. And I was thinking about Brooks there, and I was assuming he was having a good time watching the game. Meanwhile, yeah, because I grew up in the Seattle area, so I still liked Washington Huskies. And I never went to a game, but my girlfriend used to go to the university, and I used to live at Blackmon University. So I definitely got a tie-in. Let's see here. Yeah, it was sunny here today. I bet everybody's shocked to hear that. And about 75 degrees, very nice day out. And I was just kind of wondering, Bill, when you pick it up from the \u2013 did you guys have rain there today? I watched the weather radar now for the West Coast on a tablet up on my counter, and I saw a big, green system come across Washington. So I'm interested if you guys saw rain there, because when I asked Alexa, she said it was sunny there. So kind of wondering what's going on there. Meanwhile, RC Dodgers win tonight, which was great and a good game. They swept the Giants, the hated Giants. But I have a hard time hating them, because my daughter and her husband are big Giants fans. And when they found out I became a Dodgers fan, they were not very happy. My daughter said to me, Dad, if it only wasn't the Dodgers. I said, yeah, I'm sorry. I don't know where I went wrong. But anyway, it's about it here. I can't think of anything else. I was too earth-shaking here, except for maybe occasional earthquakes. I have my earthquake monitor called California Seismograph. I highly recommend it. It's a YouTube app you can put on your phone or on your computer. It tells you where all the earthquakes are around the world. It's kind of fun. I've been watching it. They've been having a lot of earthquakes up in Kamchatka. They've had almost a nine point some odd, some big record quake up there. They've been having aftershocks all the time. So that's interesting. And this way when I see out of hazard next quake, I'll be able to know about it. Anyway, let me turn it back to Ned tonight. AB6MB. AB6MB, say K7WSB. Well, thanks again, Jeff. And yes, so the Apple Cup was today. That's so weird. Usually I think of it as a big weekend later in the fall, but I guess with whatever happened in the Pac-10, I guess that's the way they make it work. Another comment, you mentioned the Dodgers versus the Giants. It takes me back when I was a little kid and the Dodgers and Giants were both in New York, the Dodgers at Edits Field in Brooklyn and the Giants at the Polar Grounds in the Bronx, I think. Somebody will correct me if I have that wrong. And it did not rain here today. It was a lovely day. It actually was about like you had, sunny. I think it was about 75. Had a lovely day. Yeah, real pretty. Well, let's go from California back to Seattle to talk to Bossanova Bill.

Interesting day on your friend's anniversary and all. Oh, and I mentioned Wajimaya. There was an article in the Seattle Times last week about the four Cuban sandwich places in town. Different company, you know, they have some of the few place, extra places. Anyway, a friend of mine wanted to try them. And so we're going to, apparently the place he wants to go to, I think it's called Casta\u00f1os, something like that, it's in the Wajimaya food court. So anytime you want to go get a Cuban sandwich, head to Wajimaya. That sounds a little strange. Anyway, we're going there Monday, so I'm looking forward to that. Thanks so much, Bill. We also are going to go down to sunny Florida. I think it's sunny. It's usually sunny.

This is November 3 Oscar Mike Oscar. No, it's not sunny right now. It's dark. It's 1230 in the morning. But it has been sunny every day. We had a shower the other day, but nothing that amounted to anything. It's been around 94, 96 degrees most of the days this week. So yeah, it's pretty hot. Let me see what's going on. Well, looks like I'm going to have another new medical adventure. I got the results back from my delium swallowed and the doctor called me yesterday and told me that my hiatal hernia, or my one-a-caught, some kind of hernia, I don't know, has completely pushed my stomach totally into my chest. And my esophagus is in an S-shape like a snake instead of being straight. So he isn't quite sure what to do. And of course, we can't do anything until the cardiologist approves of it. But I am going to be sent to University of South Florida Medical Center to the swallowing department and see what they might recommend. Now, I don't have an appointment yet, and I assume it will be kind of in October before I get there. So in the meantime, I have to eat soft foods. And my brother got me a real good bowl of the Stoker's macaroni and cheese tonight. And that was nice and soft and very easy to eat. And the other thing is I decided to, in the next couple of weeks, take my alto sax into a music store, have the, if there's any pads that need replacing, to go ahead and do that, and then to donate it so they can give it to someone who needs it or do it on their own schedule or whatever since I can't play her anymore. And it is a her. Her name is Allison. But anyway, I feel good about that decision. It's time to pass her on to someone else. But I know the pads are going to have to be replaced. I got her when I was 16 years old. And it means a lot to be able to pass it on to somebody else who needs it. So we'll see what happens to that. Anyway, back to you, Bill. Thanks for doing the net. And Jeff, thanks for getting things started again. And everyone have a great night. And I'll talk to you tomorrow. Or actually, yeah, Monday. It's already Sunday. Okay.

Well, hey Bill, great to hear your voice. And I was doing some things around the house and I noticed the time and I figured I should turn on the radio and see what's going on on the net. I'm a bachelor this weekend, so I've been just doing projects in the garage and around the house. But one thing I did this morning is I went to the Mike and T monthly meeting and I didn't drive down there this time. I decided to join via Zoom. It was an interesting meeting. We had a presentation by the Long Island CW Club and I've been interested in learning CW for a long time. So it helped motivate me to maybe try to pick that back up again. But the folks from that club gave an interesting talk about sort of the motivation of why they teach CW in the way that they do and kind of an interesting story. And it includes doing their own translation of some German World War II era papers that were written by, I think, Koch. I think it is the guy who came up with the method that they adopted, which is a name that I had heard before with regards to CW, but I didn't really know much about it. But anyway, it was an interesting start to the day and a good presentation this morning with the Mike and T Club. And they often have good presentations and they're really good about hosting their meetings in kind of a hybrid format where it's pretty easy if you don't want to drive down to Auburn, you can catch them on Zoom. So I enjoyed that. But other than that, tried out a new pizza place last night. Had some really good pizza and I ate leftovers for two meals today. And earlier this week I made Manhattan style clam chowder for the first time. And so that was my dinner. And I have to say I was pretty impressed by how it came out. My first attempt at making something that was kind of a staple of my childhood growing up in New Jersey, but something I'd never attempted to make at home. So all in all, a really good day. And again, great to hear from you. And I am looking forward to getting a Cuban sandwich at Ujamaa Food Court tomorrow. Sorry, not tomorrow, but Monday. So yeah, looking forward to that. But back to you, Bill. Thanks for hosting the net. This is Jeff and Queen Anne, W6OHM. Jeff Today and tomorrow called STEAM, S-H-T-E-A-M. And it's some sort of art combined with Maker Faire, combined with history, combined with everything down at the Georgetown STEAM plant. And the name of the event is STEAM. So it's like science, history, technology, electronics, art. Anyway, it was just a very eclectic, interesting thing. So if anybody wants to do something kind of strange tomorrow, you'll find it on, if you Google it. And if you've never been to the Georgetown STEAM plant, do go. It is this, oh, I guess it was built in the 20s and 30s maybe. And it just has all this ancient equipment in there, you know, decommissioned. But it's just a really weird place. So you might enjoy it. All right. With all of that blather, maybe a few more people want to join us for round two. This is K7WFD.

I usually join the Nets in the morning and the afternoon, but I just got done building a go kit. I should actually call it maybe a commander's post kit. It's a little bit bigger than a go kit, but I'm quite happy with the way that it turned out. So I figured I'd get on the Net and say hello. Everything is copying pretty good here and I just wanted to say have a good night. So with that, November 7, Whiskey into your Tango, back to Net Control. And 7WIT, well congratulations on your big go kit. Sounds impressive, sounds like something I should be doing. I work with ICS, I'm sorry, ACS, so if I didn't sense I'd be making a good go kit and I wouldn't be misplacing my coax connectors. I'd have them in the right place all the time, ready for the big one at every moment. Let's see, I have a message from Jack I'm a little unclear on, but maybe he'll clarify.

Good evening to everybody on the net. Let's see, from curbside I'm standing in the back of the jeep in the bed. Imagine if like the jeep was a chariot, which it is, you know it's my chariot, but they were like a Roman chariot. That's kind of the look I'm going for now. I, let's see, I built a, I have a receiver hitch, or a hitch receiver, and I built a bike rack, or a bike, yeah a bike rack. Something to haul my bike, which I think is ironic since we're like on the cusp of autumn and the waning days of summer I finally get this thing built, but I'm really happy with it. I just had some spare aluminum, some spare aluminum angle, and a piece of unistrut. That is my high-tech bike rack, so I'm very excited by it. What's going on there? Okay, anyway, other than that, let's see, so I did that. I did some, goodnight! I will! Sorry about that. Anyway, let's see, so now I'm remounting my antennas. I made, I took other pieces of angle, steel angle, and I remounted my antennas, so I'm very happy about that. I've got a tri-band, 2 meter, 220, and 440, and then I've got a 6 meter whip, but according to my calculations I can have this 6 meter whip going, and then in front of it, 4 1-1 1-2 inches in front of it, just like the J-Pole, John J-Pole, if I put a stub, if I just screw on a stub, it becomes, I think, according to calculations, a 2 meter J-Pole. So there we go. I'm going to try it out someday, one of these days. So that's my shenanigans here. Jeep curbside, KB9IQX, everybody have a great weekend. Well, thank you, Amy, that sounds very interesting, that approach with the 6 meter whip, and you make it into a 2 meter J-Pole with a stub. I'll have to look that up. That sounds very interesting. The image you give us of standing in the back of the Jeep, it does sound like a Roman chariot, and all I can see in my mind's eye is Charlton Heston in better, from like 1958 or something. Can you grimace like Charlton Heston? That would add to the look. Oh, I keep getting messages from Jack. He's saying rain is coming in two and a half hours. Interesting, I didn't know that either.

It's not really, you know, it really helps to know the Teflon tape trick for your plumbing, your pipe joining. That's pretty much the only thing. I mean, I paid $630 to have a hose bib replaced by, you know, one of the places that, well it was easy to get an appointment pretty quick. That was the first clue they were going to be expensive. But they did give me a choice of which valve to put on it and I took the one that was slower to, you know, more turns because I got 130 pounds of water down here. It's 170 foot and I'm in the service area for 200 to 400 feet. So I have higher than normal pressure down here below that 200 feet. I'm up here at 185 feet at my garage. It's a little higher than that but I don't have water here. They started to plumb and drain up here in case they wanted to put a bathroom or shower in. But as I was pulling some, you know, all the dead end alleys up here in Magnolia, there's fruit trees hanging out with stuff falling off of them, pears. I have a whole bunch of pears. Actually the oranges I got are Costco. But yeah, there's all kinds of fruit just going to waste. You just drive up these one way alleys and they have, typically they won't even have, they'd be too narrow for some of the garbage trucks even to do. And I'm sure there's all kinds of crepe and figs and plums and times of the year. And Seattle's full of those actually. Just where all the hills are and the big trees they don't want to actually take down as they left. Plus some of these sites, these yards are just vertical. Some of them with great, you know, piles of fruit, just fruit all over the place. This is a great town for agriculture and food, growing stuff. And everything will grow here pretty much very easily. That's my favorite check-in kind of stuff is just discussing Seattle. Have a good night everybody. KJ7VEU. KJ7VEU Mike, K7WFD. Uh, what, 630 for a hosted. Wow. You got stuck on that one. There is about it. But yeah, Magnolia, I live over next door to you on Queen Anne. And there's some funny areas, these older neighborhoods. I guess people planted a lot more fruit trees maybe early in the 20th century. So I know a few blocks down the hill from here down toward the Ship Canal is a, is about three or four really nice apple trees right in the, what do you call it, the parking strip, you know, right next to the street. And actually just had some pear, friend brought over some pears from her tree in Magnolia. So yeah, it's a good time of year. Lots to harvest. Lovely.

I don't know if he's still doing that. I don't smell anything. So it was nasty. So even prior to the pandemic, like let's say 2017, 2018 when he was obsessed and he was always doing that because he wanted to salt his own fish heads, they were cheaper that way. And so I was like covering my face with a handkerchief at different parts of this house that I'm sitting in because it just smelled nasty. Nasty. It smelled like, okay I better not say that.

It wore on my belt, had a big battery on it and it forced air into the filter because you couldn't breathe through that filter because it was too hard to. So it forced air in so you wore, it's like a scuba dive and hard hat and the fresh air would come in. But it was a good filter because it was so fine Kevin, it wouldn't let hardly anything through it. But it had to have a battery fan forcing air through it so you could breathe. But yeah, if everybody had one of that, they wouldn't have had COVID. COVID would not exist. Everybody else they'd have to do is go out and wear one of these.

You know what you gotta watch at some point? I mean, there were a few of these documentaries, you gotta find them. There were even, you gotta kind of just find them because they even ended up being banned from YouTube where they talked about the plandemic, they called it.

Give you all an idea, I don't know, classes change wherever you live at or whatever, but I have five lines on our plan, me and my wife and the three kids. Everybody has a new phone. We just upgraded all of our phones in the last six months or so. The deal we have is, all together it's around $400. I get a pretty good discount for being a veteran through AT&T. My wife and I have our phones. The S-25 Wolfger and my wife has a 16 Max Pro. We also both have tablets on our plan. The kids pay for their phones, whatever they want, whatever they get, they pay for their own phone lines and everything. If they screw me out of that, they get off my plan and from that point on they're unknown. It works out pretty well for us. Danielle and I also pay, we started it this last year, but we pay that extra amount so if we want to upgrade our phones whenever we want to we can. Danielle did tell me yesterday that she is not upgrading to the 17. She's going to keep the 16 probably until the next phone comes out after that. I probably won't change to the S-26 unless it does some phenomenal different things in the S-25. Anyhow, there's our phone stuff. With that, I'm going to go ahead and say probably 73. Hope that you all have a great Sunday. We have a lot planned today. Going to church. Going to go to church today. So that will be interesting. Haven't done that in a very long time.

I'm going through each line to see what is the difference between the program that I used for it and my original bio-fund. And they are slightly different.

And that was my lunch. Trying to decide if I'm going to do dinner or not, got another hour and a half to get up to Corinne and get Taylor switched out and then start heading back. So, I'll tell you someday so I won't have to worry about traffic too much. Unlike Phoenix, Phoenix is going to be crazy today, the president is flying in for Charlie Kirk's funeral, the vice president is going to be there, and the Cardinal Stadium is up on Highway 101 about six miles, five, six miles, about seven, eight miles north of my house.

Silence calls doesn't do that stuff. I mean, I don't understand why not. They could easily make those features available on the first gen ultra. You know, there's no reason they shouldn't. Other than they want you to buy the new hardware. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7. You see, I just watched a video to do on new ILS 26 for watch. And I thought he said that you could do the flip your wrist to answer calls and hang up calls. Or if you get a notification, do the flip to get it to switch over to the other screen or back to the original screen. So, I might check your settings. It's supposed to come on automatically. I mean, I didn't change it when I went to look to see if I had it. It did show that it was already on. So, I think it's a natural always on thing.

Yeah, no, I flicked my wrist a bunch of times, and it's only bringing up the time. It's not doing anything else, so I don't know. But the minor things, man, the minor things. Again, nice sunny day here. I'm going out riding the bike again this afternoon. I was out yesterday for about an hour, and then it started to rain, so I headed back. And hopefully it's not going to rain today. I'm glad to be back mobile in the woods. That's definitely a lot of fun. I got to go move my brother-in-law's bike. He parked it behind mine last night and left it there. So I can't get out of the driveway until I move his bike first. Or maybe I'll just take that one riding. There's two of them out there, so.

I think my son plans on getting an electric vehicle hopefully this week because I think there's a $7,000 credit or something that goes away at the end of the month. So hopefully he doesn't procrastinate and miss that. I think he's just going to lease one. He works from home so he doesn't really have to go anywhere to work. I told him, well, if you're going to make a long trip, just rent a car. He's just going to start a new job tomorrow. He's been temporary contractor, but I think tomorrow he's supposed to be permanent, so he's going to get paid for the holidays for a change. It's like if he didn't work, he didn't get paid. Anyway, he comes over every Monday night to watch a football game and have a beer, and we'll find out how it went, and I'll let you know tomorrow. I think he's a big guy, and he can't drive a little car, so he makes a very good salary now. I think he's going to buy a Cadillac or lease one of them. That will be good, KB7PVW. This is repeater station kilo kilo. Yeah, I mean, that's the whole thing with the electric cars is you don't have to have just one car. If you have the ability to have two cars, you can have one car that you do a lot of trips on and use the electric car for just getting around town and going back and forth to work, something you don't have to go more than 100 miles one way because that should be able to get you there and back. My granddaughter's boyfriend had a stinger, one of those Kia stingers, and he ended up moving, buying a house out near my daughter, so my granddaughter's mother, of course, and it more than doubled his distance. He had to get back and forth to work, and driving that gas car was just killing him gas-wise, so he ended up buying a Tesla, used one, but he ended up buying a Tesla, and he used the Tesla to get back and forth, and he had the stinger just as a backup vehicle. I think he finally sold that, so now he's just got the Tesla, but they've got all different shapes and sizes of electric vehicles out there, so just to get back and forth to work, that would be one thing, and you can always lease it. I always thought about if I got an electric car, I'd probably lease it because after three years, four years, five years, I'd want to give it back before the battery needed to be replaced because once that battery needs to be replaced, that's 10, 12, 20,000 to replace a darn battery in those electric cars."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-21T06:49:04+00:00","id":43533,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":43532,"text":" Yeah, I definitely wouldn't buy a used one unless they give you a good deal so you could replace the battery.

You can lift the car and make sure you unplug that thing before you take off. But, yeah, he's got a car now. He, gosh, I don't know, three or four years ago he had an accident. And because the car was so old, the insurance company actually totaled it. Well, now he can't do too much with it because on the title it says it's totaled. So, anyway, he was able to get through DEQ again and he just drove it to Seattle last week. So, it's a big Chrysler 300 or something. He likes that. It looks like a brand new car if you just look at it. He keeps it clean and everything. But, I'm pretty sure he's going to... He could probably wait until next fall because he could still drive his Chrysler another year if he wanted to. I don't know what he's going to do. We'll find out tomorrow night.

Although it was not a great quality video. It was a security camera. So I'm not sure if it was an electric vehicle or maybe he had some other kind of electrical thing plugged into the engine like for a heater block or maybe he was charging a battery and he had the battery charger underneath the hood and the hood shut for whatever reason.

And by television, I mean all screens, large and small. So even if you don't have a big one, but you just use your phone, that counts these days. So anyway, that's my topic.

I was up and out, got 45 miles in on the bike this morning, beautiful out there. Though humid like 40%, I know it's not too bad, but it was like 74 degrees. Really really nice. And, well I got to tell you about my day yesterday before I get to the question yesterday. I went up to the mountains and there was an outdoor concert up there and I got up there early so I could get parking. I can't carry all my equipment, you know, everything that I have, too far because the parking lots will get full and yeah you have to park way way far away. But anyway, went up there, took a short hike, got some beautiful beautiful fall colors. Aspen's in bloom, so you had yellows and greens and orange, really pretty and it was probably 60 degrees, perfect and overcast, thick overcast which is beautiful for pictures. The clouds make a beautiful diffusion for the light. You know out in Vegas we have the sun most of the time and the sun is too harsh, too harsh a contrast so pictures don't do too really well. But the concert wound up being really good and the singer was really animated and he came down into the crowd and she sat next to me while he was singing and singing in my camera and all around so I had a long lens for the stage so I used my iPhone to get those close up and try to follow him around. A problem I'm having is how to get the dang videos out of the iPhone. That's just ridiculous, you know, I always had both, an Android and an iPhone with an Android. It just tracks the files, easy as pie. iPhone, I don't know what the heck. I've looked at the instructions, everything that's supposed to go into your photo file, you look on your computer, they ain't there. So I tried syncing it and everything so that's my chore for today. Got some cool videos of him kind of sitting by me right in front there and yeah, but it was a great show and also I did something I'd never done before. I have a field recorder for audio so I had one on my camera but I also talked to the, what's the guy's name, the audio guy. Had the mixer board and he let me plug my field recorder into his mixer board to get like perfect audio direct from the mics so I'm really looking forward to getting this all together. Yeah, I see the notes when I put try iMovie but they won't even come out of my, maybe add movie on the phone but I want them into my computer so I can use, I can't even think of the name of what I use. Anyway I'm babbling and rambling enough so I hope I'm on time now too. So back to you Barbara, show in Las Vegas, KK70."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-09-21T07:13:59+00:00","id":43556,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":43555,"text":" JK7G, yeah you didn't get to the question of the day but that's okay that was pretty interesting stuff. It's funny when they sit right next to you at a concert, wow. You know I get video and the like out of the files folder on my iPhone and I use this little, I'm sure you have the hardware but I use this little tri-tip device to be able to load it onto the computer or whatever else I want to do. I usually end up finding all of that in my files and looking for, anyway that's just a thought you might want to check it out I'm not sure if I'm helping at all but I hope you find the files and you're able to get them over to your computer. Anyway thanks so much for your check in and maybe if you're up for it, if things get slow you can do a recheck and tackle the question of the day. Anyway thanks so much and next up we have King Arthur, N8THJ from Springfield, Ohio.

Art N8THJ your turn at the mic. This is repeater station Kilo 12, good morning there Ms. Marmer and everybody else from the World Wide Friendship Net. This is the number 8 Tango Hotel in Juliet. Art here in Park Beach, from Springfield, Ohio. I've got 75 degrees Fahrenheit right about now and I also share Mondays with 87DW so there you go and I'll be here tomorrow. Let's see the question of the day, I use an indoor antenna to get all my local channels plus I watch YouTube and let's see I also got a bunch of streaming apps. Roku, Amazon, Fire Stick and also I got a Super Box. So there you go, get all the channels that I can't get like the Big 10 Network and like I got wrestling last night so there you go. But anyhow we're not doing much here this morning just kind of sitting back, relaxing, trying to get your coffee in me and stuff like that and then get ready for the Cleveland Browns later on this afternoon about 1 o'clock. So with that we'll say 73 to everybody, y'all have yourselves a great day, stay warm, stay dry, stay cool no matter where you're at in the world and please remember always wipe down the mic before you give it back to that control.

Art's got a little bit warmer than what I do. I've got 74 degrees and 65% humidity and a little breeze out there. But it's going to be another warm one today, I guess. And we're supposed to have some rain this coming week, maybe a thunder shower this afternoon, but I'm not holding my breath. Everything around here is just drier to bone. We haven't had any rain to speak of since beginning of August. And the ground is just terrible. I had on the news this morning, like apples are falling off the trees and things are going to be a lot smaller this year than what they have been in the past because of no rain. So, I don't know. Anyway, grass I don't even have to mow it. I've got more leaves down there than I've got grass. They're drying up and falling off the trees. So anyway, just about the time I got ready to check in, I guess you'd call it my grand dog. My great-granddaughter is here with her dog and he's a full-size shepherd. He had his paws up in my lap on my chair. He thinks he's a lap dog. And of course, his head is higher than mine when he's standing up there like that. So, it may have been kind of hard to check in. But anyway, real quickly here, all my TVs, I've got a couple of TVs on outside antennas. Well, Biden in my room here, I've got two outside antennas out there. Digital. And I get to all the local stations, plus down in Cincinnati and a whole bunch of them on that. Plus, I've got Samsung TV and they have their own programming through the Internet. So, that's all I've got. I got rid of Spectrum because they got so darn high that I just kept going up every month and I said, this is it. You guys can keep your stuff. I don't want it. And I get plenty of stuff to watch there. So, I've got a couple of TVs on indoor antennas, too. So, anyway, I guess that's about it for that. Well, yesterday I finally got my new bed that I got all straightened out, all the new covers on the mattress and all that stuff. And boy, that was a job. Oh, man. So, anyway, that's enough of that. Back to you, Barbara. Everybody on the Internet, have a great day and the rest of the week.

It was nice to be able to keep costs down and have so much programming available that way. But it's good to also have a Samsung, I guess, adding to that programming so that shakes things up. I was just picturing that German Shepherd looming over you on your lap. It is so funny. The biggest dogs think they're lap dogs. Very cool. And congrats on the new bed. About time. So good deal. I know you were talking about that. So very good deal. Hey, thanks so much for your check in, Larry. And you have a great rest of your day. All right.

Yeah we're in the same predicament as the gentleman there in Ohio. We haven't had no rain. Well I went out this morning and heard a clap of thunder but it was to the north of me and the sky was real dark. So I guess it went around us here in Rushville. So we can definitely use the rain to help out the grass and the crops. The crops are looking good. I got two corn fields across the street from my house and they're 6, 7, 8 feet tall. They're not turning brown yet though so I'm not for sure what's up with that. Hopefully they'll have a harvest here in the next month or so. I would assume at least by October or November. We used to have outdoor TV antenna we used but it wasn't worth the hoot. So we just streamed through the internet on the smart TV. I got YouTube TV and Paramount Plus right now. Which if anybody out there wants to see a good show on Paramount Plus it's got Sylvester Stallone in it. He's a mob Capone and it's called Tulsa King. That's where it's based out of. Tulsa, Oklahoma. And it's a darn good show. They got two seasons out right now and the third season just started last night or this morning. So that's a really good show if you want to watch a good show on Paramount. That's a good one to check out. That went in the mayor of King's town. That's a good show also. Not for sure what the temperature is right now. I'd say it's in the 70's.

It's a way of getting the full array of live channels. So yeah and Paramount Plus. I have seen the ads for that Tulsa King. Interesting stuff. It looks, I may look at a preview and see what I think.

Yeah, I you we have YouTube TV, but we probably 90% of the time we're watching over-the-air TV. I put up an outside antenna I think we get about 80 channels over the air and then I got one of those TiVo recorders and I think I pay them like $20 a year and it eliminates the commercials on all a lot of the old programs Some of the funny Benny Hills and stuff like that. I just record Carol Burnett some of the good old when I had really good comedy programs on here and And then YouTube I have to have my drag racing on there. So I what for Fox Sports and ESPN some of the sports but most of the time we're watching over the air and like I say YouTube TV and also I have T mobile of phone and Me my my internet is with T mobile also and they give us Netflix with commercials, which I?

I put in this draught resistant front area so it is just easier to maintain. I see so many brown lawns, it is just the way it is during the summer and I was glad to be able to find a different way to go. But yeah, it is just dry. And interesting stuff about the array of programming you have. Like some others here, you have the YouTube TV but also over the air. I am in a bit of a bowl, not too far from you but I am in a bowl and I cannot do the over the air. I try to, Roku recordings, my dad does that.

Well, we finally got some rain. That's amazing. We got three tenths of an inch last night and it's still raining out there right now. So it's kind of cool to listen to the cars on a wet pavement because you can definitely tell that the pavement was wet. So not a problem. We liked the rain too and after having four months of dry weather it's nice to have that back. Well, let's see. My tent and my pop-up both survived a test on the rain. I left them up and covered with their tent flies and stuff. And I'm going to go out and check them and see how they made out because I'm going to use one of them on winter field day, my pop-up trailer. And I just got done about a month ago re-waterproofing it. So this will be the acid test for it. Let's see, as far as your question goes, I use pretty much Amazon TV, Fire TV, I have a cube and it's streaming. Almost all my stuff is streaming. Have Paramount Plus and Peacock. I think those are the two I use the most. And YouTube of course, but not YouTube TV. That's too expensive. Right now it's about $88 a month and that's what they give you for it. It's not a lot of money. I mean it's a lot of money for sure. So that's what I use for my TV. I do have an over-the-air antenna but it's inside and it's connected to a recast TV cube which is Amazon's DVR type of thing. But in order to get a decent reception on it, I really do have to put an outdoor antenna on it. So I might do that. Anyway, Barbara good to hear you on there. Hope Clarice is doing better and well.

It's all web, web designed. Don't like it at all. I liked it when we had it before. It was so much easier to find other, other, uh, shows that you couldn't, um, um, like pick for instance, we've been watching Big Brother, and Big Brother Unlocked, and Big Brother Unlocked, uh, it wasn't recorded on the proper time slot. Haha. So when we went to look for it on another network, it wasn't even available. So, that, that's, you know, one of the cases of why we don't like it all that much. Go back to cable please.

This is Bud in Gulf Canyon, Arizona. I wasn't able to be on the net yesterday because I had a lot of appointments. I'll say it that way. I miss when I have the opportunity to check into the worldwide friendship net because you are part of my family. Have been for 15 or so years. Good to hear the report on Clarice. Thank you for that. On the question of the day, when I moved here, Jeannie had CenturyLink and DirectTV and one of the first things she asked me to check into was how to get the cost down because they just kept going up. Eventually we were able to drop DirectTV and brought up streaming services. I previously had had Firestick and Roku when I was living in Panama. So I still had those accounts etc. That worked for a while. We decided between the two of us to go with streaming only and we dropped CenturyLink because they started raising their rates. It's all about money for them and not very good customer service either. So now we have Prime and YouTube. We have two TVs. One is the Sony in the living room and then it's Unis bedroom is a Samsung. Sam Hunt and Son has its streaming offerings that come when you buy a TV. I don't have a TV in my bedroom. I don't want one. I don't live in my bedroom. That's where I sleep. So anyway, streaming services now working pretty good. Don't miss any of the real national news stuff because it's all shown anyway. So it's movies and old stuff and everyone's mobile checking into the weather. Or the local news through the streaming. That's about it for me. Everybody have a great day. I'm glad to be back on the net and thank you for doing a good job for us. This is Nick Control Barbour on KF5. EWH going back to KF7BR.

So, yeah, it sounds like you did the same with Jeannie. And I'm kind of with you. I think I could probably go with streaming only except for grandma's programming needs. So I'm just going ahead and paying for that for now. But someday I will just stick with streaming. I think a lot of the national news programs are junk. I agree. Even local, honestly. And I get my headlines elsewhere. But Prime, YouTube, sounds like you have it pretty well set up. So, hey, thank you so much for sharing it. Thanks for that compliment. I appreciate it.

Good morning there, Barbara. Rosie, we're just greeting Rosie, just getting up here. And we're having our coffee sitting out here, and it's delightful in the 70s again. And it looks like rain clouds around. Yeah, we've had two or three days off and on rain showers, and it's been really, really welcome. And enjoyed every bit of it. Hello, and good hearing Bud there. Good morning. And to Jeannie. On the TV, we've always, always had just a TV, regular TV antenna on the roof. And we get 93 channels. And of course we've got Netflix too, and what was the other one, Paramount? So we've got scads and scads to watch, and no big monthly bills. So that's the way we like it. So, what else? Oh, I was just going to say, I sure envy Bicycle Joe up there and the colored leaves. That's the time of year. That's what I really miss is our trips up there, and camp trips. And all those colors. Red, orange, yellow. And most people don't think about Arizona having much colored leaves. But up there on the monkey on rim, first week of October, I mean, there's just some areas in there that are just ablaze. I've got big pictures on the wall that we've taken, you know, about 20 by 20, that show us. And all those deep heat colors, and I just really miss those trips up there. But we've got our pictures to enjoy, for sure. And, yeah, and this afternoon I think we'll probably, I think Rosie and I are going to go earlier to Home Depot and get a couple things. I want to tape, I guess, the activities there at the stadium this afternoon. We just hope and pray everything goes well. The guy that they arrested proved out to be a security guard for somebody else. They thought they had one suspicious guy there. But everything is okay and cleared up. So it's going to be, I expect, 100,000. So I think the place holds about 70, 73, and they have over another building that will hold the rest, I guess. Anyway, I'm going to run out of time here.

But mainly, can you guys remember back to dial-up service? Well that's what I was doing way back when was dial-up and of course now I've got, well we had CenturyLink hard-wired through the bridle pass out there, two or three miles of underground twisted pair that were getting broken all the time for 54 years. Last year we did a negative CenturyLink, completely got rid of that underground twisted pair and went with AT&T 5G over the air and that's working pretty good. So that's, the whole thing comes in now streaming and I've got the big display on the wall that we use for the TV and display. We got that hooked to the main computer through an HDMI cable and remote control of the mouse and the keyboard and all of that and so we default to a web browser that brings up FoxNews.com and occasionally CNN.com for comparison and we get everything over there, all the streaming everything right at our tiptoes under the mouse and the wireless keyboard controls there sitting in our easy chairs. So there we go, we've gone 55 years from way back, way before dial-up service to now everything's 5G streaming.

And, yeah, I could see them being down there in Arizona. I know folks might think of it as being all desert, but it isn't. And there's some range to the terrain. So I'm sure it's just gorgeous. And I know you had difficulties with that old underground cable for CenturyLink. And AT&T sounds like a much better deal. Years ago I tried that same arrangement, streaming a computer and everything to a big screen. And that is a sleek arrangement. It was a bit of a kludge to do that years ago, but I'll bet it's a lot easier now. And finally I'll touch on that. I really hope there's no issue with the large event at the Arizona stadium. There's no call for anybody being violent at all with anything like that. So hopefully no problem. I had to look up what you were talking about with that security guard. I found it. But what a shame that there should be any threats of any kind like this. Anyway, I hope you, Joyce and Rosie, have a good trip to Home Depot. And you all have a good rest of your day.

He said, well, he has Apple TV, and it must stream over the Internet, I guess. We got Fiber Optic put in here last year. So we get about 99% of the channels we want to watch, and it's only $80 a month. One thing I like about it, like yesterday the football games were on, about a dozen of them, and you go on there and it says you want a quick, important place, and it'll have like 19 plays. So you can watch the whole game in about five minutes. So I went through all the games yesterday, and if one's interesting or close, I might stop and watch it. I'll watch the Oregon-Oregon State game, of course. Of course, the Ducks just blew them out, but anyway, they're pretty good. And let's see, I think it is raining out there. I hope it quits this afternoon because I've got to get the garbage out for tomorrow. And I've got a gardener coming next week to clean out the bunch around the house. I just got to the point where I can't really do it. So I can mow the lawn with my right mower, and that's about it. Anything else is work. Let's see, oh, Linda Lou and I got our shots yesterday, the flu shot, the COVID shot, and another shot, SMV or something. I don't even know what that is. Anyway, everybody be careful out there.

Sounds like you got the, not only flu and COVID, but the RSV. That's the other one that they're worried about. And my brother just got over COVID again. So that interfered with my dad being able to come over for grandma's weekly Pinnacle game. So it sounds like he's tested negative a couple days in a row, so he's gotten over it, which is good.

So the threat of flood or something down there, I can't imagine what would happen if our basement flooded, you know. So let's see, Apple TV that we got, I just have one problem with it. I just, good or bad, we record everything. We record all the news and our programs and I got my remote in my hand and as soon as the commercial comes on I just fast forward by that. Yeah, some of the things you cannot fast forward over the commercial, but that's pretty small. The main thing I don't like about it is it keeps the recording stuff for six months. I wish I could delete the ones that I've watched because you don't need all this extra stuff. You've got to go through all the time sometimes. But I guess if you miss the show you can go back and watch it. So anyway, that's only about a little over 90 days till Christmas. Santa's getting ready.

I'm sure all of us remember the days when you know if you wanted to watch something you had to be in front of that TV at that time until we had you know the ability to record it of course but even then it was just you had to make sure to set it up for that time and that could be a pain.

And, yeah, Missy will definitely check that out, too, if you want to hear that. And, let's see, oh, you know, you were talking about when we couldn't record TV and everything and wanted to see something. And I remember I was working as a telephone operator in Columbus, Ohio, a phone company, and it was in the evening, I think I had a split shift or something, and a gun smoke was supposed to be on with my cousin, my second cousin, Jean Arthur, a star of the 40s and 50s, and I was wondering, well, darn, I hate to miss that. That's really going to be a good show. And it happened that the supervisor there was really, she loved her acting and everything. She said, I'm going to let you go home and you watch it and enjoy it for me. So, got to go home and watch it. So, I remember that. Anyway, yeah, and Barbara, I was just wondering if you got to see the Robert Redford special. We taped it and the three of us watched it last night, and I thought they did a really very good job there with Robert Redford and his career and everything. The only thing they left out was the movie I loved, The Horse Whisperer. They didn't mention that one, but all the others they did. And so, I was just wondering if you would mind kind of recapping that moment that you had before you had your speech there at graduation and he was there with you. I really appreciate that picture of you and him. So, I just wanted to know what you remember from that moment.

I was giving the graduation speech on behalf of our class and Robert Redford was getting an honorary doctorate for his environmental work. And so members, people who were going to be up on the dais on the stage were introduced to one another and actually the folks who ran the ceremony made a point of introducing us and letting us chat for a few minutes and he was just very gracious, very curious and it was a lovely moment. I mean he was, from all reports, he was a lovely man. Just wonderful and curious and open and just really a pleasure to interact with him. And as far as his work goes, I know I haven't seen that special that you mentioned. I will have to check it out. But honestly, one of my favorite things by him is when he was behind the camera. His movie, Ordinary People, is a masterwork. I love that movie. Ordinary People, just well-acted, well-directed and strongly recommended. I think it was done in 1980, 81, right around there. And Donald Sutherland, Mary Tyler Moore, and oh, I forget his name, the young boy, but just wonderful actors and everything.

Good morning to everybody online on the network. Scott is out fishing so I don't know if he'll check in today. He's out whale watching and fishing apparently off Vancouver Island. Let's see, I have just a couple of things where you continue to work on the next balloon project. I sent an email out recently to our email list that let everybody know that the V7NFR balloon is now officially pronounced dead or missing in action after the signal got weaker and weaker over the mid-Atlantic but it did make two and a half circumnavigations around so that was pretty cool. We're working on the next high altitude balloon launch. We did a little bit of a step backwards this week. We're trying to frequency plan this thing because we've got two GPS receivers, we've got image transmissions, we're going to send a photo every 30 seconds live during the flight and we'll post those up online. You'll be able to follow that. We've also got the crossband repeater and we've got APRS. All this stuff has to be planned a little bit so we don't have any mutual interference and such. We're doing a little bit more on that this week and hoping to do some testing next week. Long story short, we hope to have a high altitude balloon launch with all the new toys going in October so stay tuned. In other news, October 14th at 7pm Manitoba time I'll be giving a presentation to the radio amateurs of Manitoba and there's anybody joining in who wants to join in and listen to that. Now that presentation will be on the storied history of pottery. No, it will be on All-Star and RLP and Echolink and how all that works. We'll talk a little bit about the differences between those systems and we'll talk about how the Canada Hub came about and how it works and give some examples both as how All-Star can be used as a network tool or as something to use like we're doing but also as a way of controlling your network or controlling repeaters so pretty cool. That's October 14th, 7pm. Shoot me an email if you're interested in any of that. I'll get the link to you when I have it. My email is v7nz at myrac.ca or aaarl.net and I'm probably coming close to timing out so back to you Dave.

And I'm sure that the presentation on October 14th to the radio amateurs in Manitoba will be very interesting as well. Alright, let's move on to the net here and I'll just let everybody know we're going to do short time check-ins. Then we are going to do a quick shout out to the UK. We'll move into Canada, go VE3 and east through Western Canada and the north. We'll check out for late and missed anywhere in Canada if I remember to do that. And USA and the rest of the world will happen after that and then we'll close up at, I've got 1.30 here. I guess it will be 2.30 eastern time. I guess the 1 hour and 30 minute mark.

It's a beautiful afternoon here in Kitchener, sunny and it's going to be 25 or 26 today. So it's really nice. Well, this summer, we had a lousy age for the summer, so that wasn't so great. But a couple of highlights for me. Field day was always fun and the Kitchener Waterloo Amateur Radio Club had a good event this year. It was well attended and we had a good time. But I think my highlight was maybe Friday morning. Was it Friday morning this week? I got up at 4 o'clock in the morning because that's what happens when you're my age. But I got up and I turned on the radio and I turned on FTA and was listening on 10 and 12 and 15 meters and it was like it ought to be where I worked Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, all over the place. It was a lot of fun just for a short period of time. Anyway, that's it for me Dave. Have a good day and Adrian, I'll send you an email with looking for that link for your presentation. Thanks for taking my check in. VE5 Uniform Oscar from Victor Echo 3 X-Ray Delta Bravo. Hey Doug, and thanks for that. I appreciate that and Happy Safe Field Day was definitely a highlight of my summer as well and it's fantastic to see 10 meters in again.

Fishing was actually good. We were actually jigging out off of Nanouse Bay, Vancouver Island. Out in Zuneroa, there's a little strait there with some islands that are in tight and the water is still low in the rivers right now because it hasn't really rained enough yet. So all the salmon are sitting out there waiting to go up a handful of rivers, particularly the Englishman River. I caught a coho, I only fished one day, we only fished for a couple hours. That was Friday and I caught a nice coho. The highlight though was the whales. We found ourselves completely surrounded by at least three pods of humpback whales and we were just there, just floating and all of a sudden they're right there. They were so close, their breath, their spray, their blows was coming onto us and I have some excellent video of it, like of the fluke's flapping smack in the water and there was, I think they were, I don't know, they're not carnivores, they're baleen, I don't know what they call it, filter feeders. One was slapping the water repeatedly, slapping the water with its dorsal. It was really cool, it just came out of the water and sub-bang, over and over and over again. I look over to my right into the sunset and I could see all these whales blowing through this, their spray up through the sunset. It was just beautiful, just a stunning, amazing British Columbia moment that we're very lucky to have here and I really enjoyed it. But my radio, and I'll end this quick, was circumnavigating with our Pika balloon NFR11 and then we were very, very pleased for Emil to do the same. So that was my highlight of the radio summer.

Others are experimenting now with more Winlink and Vira FM stuff like that as well. So this has all been going on locally here and it's been real fun actually to see this side of radio. I've only had my ticket for about three years. I was aware of the pack and radio but I didn't know what was involved. But now that we're all set up and working on it, it's been really fun.

This is Lancelot Q6, Lima, November, India. The best thing about my summer in Hamre was being able to run a router and have it go through the internet and into a node and to my pickup truck and being able to get it to go mobile with it. So, it was a fun project. I learned how far Hamradio has become. I had my ticket back in 1995, I believe it was, and let it run out and never went back and then came back to it in 2023 as I started to see all this, learn all about nodes. So, that got me interested. So, I figured, well, I'm going to enjoy this and go through the internet. I still do the regular FM with the basic homemade antennas, but I figure, enjoy it now before the internet all falls apart. This is Q6, Lima, November, India. Q6, LNI. Back to net control. Very good, Lancelot. Thanks for joining the net. Q6, Lima, November, India. Got the call time right that time. It helps when I actually get things right. And excellent. Great to hear.

I was a little worried we were going to have to close the Net about 40 minutes ago and bravo to everybody for holding it up and getting us through to the end. So I'm going to close the Net now and we'll say 73 from Victor Echo 5 Uniform Oscar, Dave and Saskatoon and the Trans-Canada Net will be here again next week at 1 p.m. Eastern for an hour and a half. According to the schedule, Victor Echo 3, Romeo Whiskey Juliet Chris will be the Net control operator. So we'll close it up and say 73 everybody. We're going to have a fantastic week.
