They're like tied together with uh, with strength and they're round. Man, juiciest piece of meat I think I've ever eaten. Absolutely love them, I'm hooked on these things. I bought a bunch of them yesterday at the grocery store. And uh, they're just absolutely delicious. What I do with them is I cook them with the string on and I take the um, I take the string off afterwards and then I put them on a hamburger bun with some lettuce and tomato and they're just absolutely delicious. So, just firing up the air fryer there now to uh, cook a couple of those and uh, some french fries there, I got some lettuce and tomato, a couple slices of cheese to go on them. Yum yum, get you some. But yeah, it blows my mind boys how the um, ambassador to Canada from the United States came here a couple months ago and he couldn't understand Canadians cold attitude to the United States. He thought we were very hostile toward the United States, he couldn't understand why. Yeah, they kind of seem to have their head in the sand a wee bit. I'm doing the same thing as you, I've got some beef stoop on the stove warming up. Beef stoop is beef stew that you forget to put your thinking agent, so it's not stew and it's not soup, it's stoop. But your beef eaters, you used to have something a lot like that with the axe in Montreal, you want to take it up a little notch, wrap a slice of bacon around them before you cook them up bud, adds a whole new level of flavor. The funny thing about that ambassador was, he seemed to, he must have been trolling a lot on the internet and radio and the rest of it because he was even making comments about Doug Ford and the liquor. So yeah, I thought it was funny that maybe somebody told him that you should actually really know about some facts if you're going to talk about Canada to Canada."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T16:41:29+00:00","id":62004,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62003,"text":" Really got me.

Your station, control station for tonight is K4HM. My name is Hank. My location is Traveler's West RV and Golf Resort near Dade City, Florida. This is a directed net. Please address all comments and queries to this deck control station. This net is sponsored by the RV Radio Network, but all amateurs with a technician's license or higher are encouraged to participate. The purpose of this net is to provide a forum for amateur radio operators who share an interest in recreational vehicles to exchange information and stay in touch as we travel the country. This net meets each Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time on the Southeast Link Conference node, linked to the N4LMC Multimode Network, which includes W4EDP Echo Link computer in Lookout Mountain, Georgia, and several other repeaters in the tri-state area. And we thank him at Purdue, W4EPEDP for the Jurassic Amateur Radio Club for supporting our net with the use of the network. For additional information about the RV Radio Network, please visit our website at RVRadioNetwork.com. And for information about the Tri-State Amateur Radio Club, visit their website at TriStatesARC.com. As I said, there are some repeaters on this network, so let's try to keep our transitions below three minutes to keep from timing out the links on the repeaters. And if you have the Windows application for Echo Link, there's a timer, a set of timers actually, up under the tools setup menu. And you can set that transmit timer to, I recommend, 170 seconds. It will actually give you a 10 second warning before that time with a little tone from however you got your default tone set on your computer. And if you got your window set big enough, it gives you a timer, a timer, visible on that bottom left corner for the last 10 seconds of your countdown. But if you set it for 170 seconds, that will give you a 10 second margin before you drop the links, and it will drop your PTT for you rather than timing out the timer, the links. Speaking of which, let me reset. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven. Remember, Quebec is over. All star notes... This is not a traffic map, so we don't take regular traffic, but if anybody has any emergency or priority traffic, we will try to handle it.

Likewise, we have scheduled our follow rally for next year to be at Gulf Pines in Milton, Florida. And I don't see what the unhitched Milton, it looks like, is the Musqueam community. Unhitched Milton. It's in Milton, Florida and there will be more information coming up on that, but that's going to be October and it doesn't even give a date on the website.

So we're kind of late right now. Let me see if I've got anybody over here. I don't see anybody else logged on. Our topic for tonight was suggested by George. And the topic is what's the coldest temperature you have ever camped in? What's the coldest temperature you've ever camped in? And did you have any issues? What kind of issues did you have, if any? So I have camped as low as 17 degrees and I had, well anytime we're down around freezing, you know, down in the below 32, maybe it depends on how much I trust the weather report. If I know it's going to get below 30, I'm going to disconnect water. Let me reset one more time. If I know it's going to get below 30, I'll disconnect. And the one time I'm talking about, I think it was in 2017, we had a different motor home. We had actually a fifth wheel at that time. And I'm pretty sure that's the year it was. But anyway, we were in southern Alabama and it got down to 17 degrees. And we had a little bit of a water drip on a grave valve. The grave valve water would drip a little bit anytime you ran some water through it. I kept the, normally kept the drain open. But with the, with it being freezing, I had to close the valve. And the valve would drip a little bit with water backed up. And that dripped enough that we had icicles hanging out of our bay door. So it was a funny sight to see. We went out and bought a water hose that had electrical rapid wiring wrapped around it. And we used it that one time. It went in the storeroom up in Alabama after that. And we've never used it since. It's still in the storeroom up there. So that's my experience with camping when it's freezing temperatures. So it was George's topic. So let's go to George and see what he can say about it. 82IH from K4HM. Alrighty. Funny thing is I've never really been in brutal cold for extended periods of time. So that's kind of odd. I would say 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Say for three or four days. And the main problem is the hoses will freeze. So I have electric hose for gray water and for fresh water. And I also have onboard fresh water tanks. So I could work around the cold air. But the problem becomes the black water or even gray water drain. You know, the long flexible hose if you're at a campsite. That will freeze. And if they freeze, those hoses are pretty cheap and they'll start to get pinholes. They start to leak. So I'll go through a hose every day or two. You don't have to replace it. Fortunately they're pretty cheap. But if I use my own tanks, then obviously it's not a problem because I'm inside the camper. And the camper itself is made to be cold. I got a truck camper. And a lot of snow skiers and stuff like that use them for winter use. So if it's standalone on its own, it's fine. But if you're hooked up to those services, like your water, your drain and all that, that gets a little rough. But that's about all I got. And I'll be interested in listening to W1IK. I'm wondering if he's in Texas at the rally. And 82IH, back to you Hank. This is repeater station kilo kilo. Okay George, the hose I was talking about disconnected was the water supply hose. But we do drop the sewer dump hose as well. And I walk the water out of that. Whether I disconnected or not, I walk the water out of it. And I have the valves closed. So theoretically it wouldn't get any more water in it. But I usually disconnect it after I walk the water out of it, hump the water out of it, whatever you want to call it. Sure you know what I'm talking about. But once I got all the water out of it, I just had to lay on the ground until I'm going to use it again. Then I hook it back up. So I forgot to mention that. There are some interesting stories about that too. But it's for another day. Alright Jim, George wants to know where you are. I know you get some cold weather up in Michigan. So you got probably some freezing stories to tell us as well.

Good evening Hank and good evening to all aboard from Whistie One India Kilo, Jim. Portable 5 in Elmendorf, Texas on our last evening of the fall rally for the RV Radio Network 2025 sitting out at the picnic table underneath the awning of the coach with my brother Randy standing alongside. He's getting ready to take a night bike ride and see if he can't run into a tree but he does have some lights on his bike so I can't see him. And any extent with regard to cold weather camping, Randy and I did experience some cold weather in this coach shortly after I bought it. It probably would have been the fall of 2018. We were up at Muskellunge State Park on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, a little tiny, tiny wide spot in the road called Deer Park, Michigan. Deer Park is right in the halfway point between Whitefish Point and Grand Marais, if you're familiar with the southern shoreline of Lake Superior. We were up there at about this time of year actually, might have been a little later into October, but we got surprised by a cold snap and snow storm came through. As a matter of fact, it was quite windy the entire time we were there, but it was above freezing most of the time except for a night or two before we were getting ready to leave. It did get below freezing and we got surprised by a rather significant snowstorm with some high winds and some other stuff. Now we were at a state park campsite that had only electric hookups so we didn't have a water supply or sewer hose deployed to worry about and we were pretty well self-contained by, my coach is not a four-season coach officially, but it does have, let me break."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T18:17:56+00:00","id":62050,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62049,"text":""},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T18:18:08+00:00","id":62051,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62050,"text":" Thanks for watching."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T18:19:35+00:00","id":62052,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62051,"text":" It does have tank heaters for the gray and black tanks. And I turned those on and we got through the night of sub-freezing temps. It warmed up enough above freezing the next day. So we weren't in any trouble when it came to finally leaving and dumping was no big deal. And they had shut off all the water, so we weren't able to rinse tanks and we weren't able to fill up with fresh water at that location. But where we were headed next was warmer and they had not shut off those services yet. So, at any extent, that's about the coldest I've experienced, knowing that the coach itself is not really built for four-season, below-freezing, extended temperatures. I haven't tried pushing the issue with the tank heaters or anything. I suppose I've seen people that have gone into a lot of gyrations with heated fresh water hoses and even fabricating heated, using heat tape on their sewer lines and trying to insulate all of that. And I thought, well, my goodness, that sounds like way more trouble than it's worth. So we're just generally shut down after our late fall campout. And that's the plan for this season.

So, it might be an exciting evening today. We'll have to just wait and see what comes of it. Anyway, well yeah, I've lived in North America. I know what cold is like. I've never actually gone camping in the cold except once accidentally. Back in many, many, many years ago, back in the 80s, we were camping, tent camping actually, and we decided, it was very early June, and we decided to go up to Jasper and Banff. Beautiful. There's those four national parks there are just beautiful up there in Alberta and BC. Anyway, we decided to go up there, and we decided to go up to Jasper and camp. We set up our tents that night, and the next morning it snowed. It was snowed, and everything was frozen. The ice in the cups was frozen, and man, that was a miserable experience. I think we cut our visit to, no we didn't. We actually went and stayed in the hotel for the next night in Jasper. But, a beautiful place, but man, it's cold up there. They're so far north that they get snow in June sometimes. So, that's my biggest experience in cold weather camping here. In Sydney, of course, last winter we did not get below freezing. Winter before we got two days below freezing. So, yeah, we're a pretty mild climate here. It rarely, if ever, it never freezes solid, of course, because we've got palm trees here. They couldn't deal with it. But, as you get further up into the mountains, you do get colder weather. We actually have ski fields here that the snow is still partially covering them. Actually, I looked at the ski cameras today, and yeah, there's still some snow there. So, there are places that do get cold, but they tend to be higher elevation and away from where people live. So, it's not very common here. So, other than that, of course, just the normal dealing with winter, I hate ice, and I hate ice on the ground. I'm so happy that I will never see that again. Every winter I would go out and not remember that it was, that ice was out there, and I would end up falling flat on my back or side or somewhere. Yeah, so I don't miss, I do not miss winter, interestingly enough. Anyway, thank you so much for taking my check-in.

Your tent camping, I tent camped back in the late 50s when I was in the Boy Scouts. I was in the Boy Scouts until after we got married, but the early days in the Boy Scouts is the only time I did any tent camping. We were in some cold weather a couple of times. I don't think we were ever in freezing weather or snow. A lot of rain, which you have to remember fighting the rain. By the time I got done with Boy Scouts, I was in lodges and things like that where the scouts were in the tents, not the leaders.

And kind of like what you were just describing, I don't know if it was, I don't think I, I don't remember, although that doesn't mean it hasn't happened, but I don't remember doing any camping in freezing temperatures, but I have been camping both tent and RV when the weather has gotten down into the 30s, and several times in pretty heavy rain. And I don't remember any unusual issues, just the standard things that happened from that. I do know in our RV, our little Toyota Motorhome, we were camping a couple times when it got down into the 30s or low 40s, and the furnace in the motorhome wasn't working. And we were plugged in, so I was able to use a space heater, but I didn't want to run that on high, and it just, it was not keeping up. So I did actually a couple times for a few minutes, had to fire up the stove, you know, the propane stove for a little bit, because I ate that little space very well, very quickly. And we were running like overnight or anything, I'm not going to do that. But that's really, as far as, except for being really wet, you know, tent camping, a few times I can't really think of any real big issues we had, aside from just being frustrated about that. But I'm going to send it back before I time out. Okay, you have an hour left. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November, All Star Node 6222. Okay, Ron, I'm trying to leave some dead air there for time for the links to clear, and somebody to be able to key up. Sometimes I jump in a little bit too fast, I guess. A lot of people don't know to do that, and they come in right on the tail of somebody else, and it makes it really hard to get in. I apologize. But yeah, you've got some pretty typical experiences. Sounds like most people don't do camping when it's that cold. We as full-timers don't have any choice, but we try to follow 73 degrees or 70, trying to remember what Jim Cox used to call it. Chasing 76 degrees, I think is what he called it. He had a blog that was all about their full-time RV travels in an Airstream trailer. And he used to talk about that. Anyway, we are following his footsteps. We chase the mid-70s. I'll just put it that way. Don't always get it, but we chase it. Alright, is there anybody else out there before we start the lightning round?

And then I came back to Australia from there. But I've also lived in Toronto for a brief time and a couple of other places for brief times. But basically, Wisconsin and Boston are the two places that I refer to as sort of home in North America. Other than that, yeah, so I'm used to snow from both of those places. In fact, the last time I was in, the thing that really got me to come back to Australia was the snow in Boston where we got, I don't know what it was, 130 or 140 inches in two months and it would just pile up all over the place. You couldn't get anywhere because there's just snow piles everywhere. And it was ridiculous. So that's, I'm going back to Australia where it doesn't snow. So I'm home in Australia.

And let's see, I have, oh, you know, it's an interesting topic for tonight because we actually just got back right before I tuned in. We just got back from a trip. We took that motor home to the coast, Oregon coast, for a couple nights. And we managed to do that trip. This doesn't always happen because, you know, it's kind of hard to get into the weather when in some cases you have to reserve so far in advance. So we just, you know, we don't know what weather we're going to get, so we're trying to be prepared for anything. But this time we managed to do this between the raindrops, and it was great. It was beautiful weather, a little bit chilly, high in the mid-60s, I think it was. And lows got down into the 40s, so I had to keep that thing warm. But the sun felt good when it was out, and it was out the whole time during the day. And I had my little fire pit, so we weren't cold. And it was great. I love it. And now, you know, I think it's still like rain the day before we left, and we're expecting showers to start sometime tomorrow, so we were right in between them. So now it was awesome that it worked out that way. And I think that's probably all I have, so I don't see anybody on the list, so I'll just send it back to you, Hank, K-4-H-M, this is K-7-R-O-N."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T18:45:30+00:00","id":62072,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62071,"text":" Okay, Ron, I imagine you all get some pretty cool weather up there too. So that's, I expected to hear more from you than what you got. Be truthful. Oh, I did want to mention, you know, George, yeah, George mentioned audio. I didn't do anything different tonight, George. I always use the echo test, and I may have it set, I think I've actually got it set a little bit lower gain on the mic. For some reason, and I have yet to figure it out, I don't always get the same sound from the same volume setting or gain setting on the microphone on this computer. So I don't know what causes the difference. I always use the same Heil headset, almost always. I did one night, not too long ago, try using earbuds that had a mic in the cord. That didn't work very well at all, so I always give that to one time. Other than that, I don't think I've ever used in recent times, at least, anything other than this mic, this headset. I've had it for a couple of years now, and I've used it ever since I've had it. Also, talking about getting on the net early and talking about net control being having it either every week, that's very true. We actually tested this net, tested the idea. Nobody in the club was doing any echo at all, and one of our members, W3TOM, at the time was the Atlantic director for the AWRL, had a repeater at his home and had it on echo length, so we were using his repeater. But Tom travels an awful lot, awful, awful lot. I think he spends a whole lot more time on the roads than he does at home. So that was all over the country, and we were having trouble with him having lightning storms and whatnot. And the repeater would shut down, and he wasn't there to get it started back up. And so we wouldn't have it for a few weeks sometimes. We wound up moving around several times, and we settled on where we are now. We didn't have the multimode net at that point, but we had this C-Link, the node. And that worked out real well, and they offered to let us start using the multimode link. And we jumped on that chance, so let me reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T18:48:04+00:00","id":62073,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62072,"text":" But anyway, that was about a year or so after we got the net started. The event officially started in January of 2019. And I've been net control all but a couple of weeks out of every year ever since then. And I'm not going to be net control on Thanksgiving Day. That's a big family day for us. We'll be with 40 other relatives or so. Not all 40 of them will be blood relatives, but in-laws and out-laws. Some girlfriends and boyfriends and that kind of stuff. But it's about five kids and all of us get together with all of their in-laws and whatnot. The ones that are married and the ones that aren't married, which most of them are all married now. But anyway, it's big. We have 40 and 50 people sometimes for a meal. So it's a big deal to us. I'm not going to be on net control on Thanksgiving Day anywhere in the near future. And we actually stay up there for the whole holiday season all the way through New Year's. And then we come back down here. There's been a few times that I've missed for medical reasons. Had to get somebody else to back me up. Or we were some place where I wasn't going to have, knew I wasn't going to have internet or something like that. But basically, I'm 49 or 50 weeks out of the year on net control. So yeah, that's another thing. If anybody would, I'd love to have somebody to be altered at net control and be able to do it a few times. So if anybody has any inclination to do that, I'll be glad to set you up.

This is KA9 EHV and in Seattle. Got to be because no one else wants the job. Anyway, I had and went through scenes. I don't know how many ways to say that look, if we are ever going to sort or organize, then what we are dealing with in the way of a list needs to be either a database or a spreadsheet. I don't really care which, but for crying out loud let us actually do it that way. And yeah, I think I finally made my point, but I had to get really kind of biggy and whiny to do it which I dearly hate. So that's all nice. And that's about all I've done so far today is get these scenes all sort of organized and titled so they can be put into a spreadsheet at long last given a date in book time, and then we can start putting the book together with any luck. Anyway, a little question for people.

I haven't been able to say that for years. Yes, it's time for me to get in bed, actually. We jumped out of the skid when you announced the next. I didn't get an idea for that time, but to answer Sam's question, yeah, I'm, how do you put this, a simple folk, and I sometimes struggle with multiple strand stories when there's all sorts of side stories and things going on. And I listen to a lot of audio books that are sort of serialized, and the trouble is, if you've got to wait a week for the next episode to come out, I've lost my thread. If I sit down with a book, then I can sit there until I've finished it, and sometimes, as I say, it works better like that for me. I'm a simple folk, so I know I like it as good as that. As straightforward as possible. We've had too many diversions off to the side, because too many characters, and I do begin to lose the thread a little bit. But having said that, that doesn't stop my enjoyment of it. So whatever works for you, then go for it. As I say, it's one of those things. I've come up with an exercise from the elf, and I got distracted by your over. Oh yes, a spreadsheet of it. For some known reason, the FCC alternative in the UK called Ofcom had decided to change the prefix call signs for intermediate license holders. Why I can't work out, it's not like everyone has a call sign, because they're replacing two prefixes with two different prefixes. It's a little bit of a feeding frenzy that all the people that want to be seen and noticed are all changing their call signs for the new call sign. It's been like having a car registration to the UK dated by twice a year. They issue new call, new registration for the vehicles, and you have an incremental number that tells you the year. Of course, these people are all doing this, all watching out to help this thing. We're going to have to do it eventually. It'll become mandatory in two years time. But why change it now? Everybody's got used to my call sign. Why would I want to change it for something different? But people can, and that's the other thing. I've been doing this for two years or five years. You can change your call sign. I can't tell them that one. Anyway, I'm obviously so box-naped, I really should go to bed. Have a lie down in the darkened room.

It appears fairly realistically like a small wood heater that has a low burning fire in it. Just the glowing logs and some vapors, vapors, you know, shoots coming off of it. And for effect, I put one of my coffee, I put my kettle, my stainless steel hot water kettle on it. Plus one of my favorite mugs just sitting there as if they were sitting, you know, on trivets or something on the top of the wood stove, which is a wood heater stove is perfect for keeping a hot kettle of hot water on. I also put a little blanket on my, in my cubby hole bed or sorry, my yeah, my Heidi hole bed. I'm still reading Carl Hiaasen as I was this morning and now I'm reading it still and will probably read it until tomorrow.

I just landed a deck staining job worth over $3,000 and went out on a railing bid and it looks like I'm going to get that. I got a painting job that was approved that's just doing some touch-up painting, but that was worth $500 and another landscaping job worth another $500 but just to level out some dirt. All in all, it was just a good day and I've got four jobs I'm bidding on tomorrow, so that's all pretty cool. And while I'm out in Bonney Lake, I'm going to bring my trailer and going to grab a bunch of boxes and stuff that I had from when I built some trailers and bring them home and then add to the boxes and the trailer a bunch of other garbage that we have around the house and do a dump run. So I've got that going on. And 3D printer world, we're still going like 24 hours a day. I'm doing three garden gnomes right now. They look pretty cool. They're just small to start with and I'm going to enlarge them if I like the way they turn out. And I'm really proud. I made a Star Trek tricorder from Strange New Worlds. On eBay they go for $130. It only costs about, I'm guessing maybe $5 to $10 max to make. I had a little bit of labor to assemble it but it looks really authentic and apparently the cosplay stuff has a market on eBay and Etsy and those things. And I've got my account going in Etsy.

And then we got this cool little motherboard for the 3D printer that, it's not really a motherboard, it's just a little plug-in thing that does time lapse. The camera inside the bamboo is not very good, and my daughter had an old iPhone, which has, you know, even an older iPhone has a good camera, and it basically sends a signal every time a new layer starts. It moves the printhead to a corner and sends a signal to the camera to take a picture. And then you assemble, like if it has a thousand layers, you assemble a thousand photographs together and make a time lapse movie out of it. And it looks really cool because you don't even see the printhead at all. It's in the background, and the print just grows by itself. It's really kind of cool to watch that happen. So we got that going on, and then we're working on, I created a Squid Games Front Man mask for my daughter to wear for Halloween. That's pretty neat. And I just ordered some acrylic paint on Teemu. I'm not much of a painter, but I think for the 3D modeling stuff, it'll come in handy. And my wife got a spoon bender. You put an old, we've got some antique spoons, and you put them in there, and you bend them, and you make rings out of it. It's kind of wild. And lastly, I've been on 10 meter. I'm just happy. I got a start in 10 meter for a couple weeks when I first got my amp ticket in May or March, and then two weeks later I got my General, and I shifted to 20 meter while the band closed down. And 10 meter's back open, and I've been having a lot of fun. I made a bunch of contacts on that today. Anyway, I'm rambling, so I'm going to send it back to you.

And yeah, I've been watching the weather forecast for Seattle on the Cairo pinpoint weather. And yeah, definitely cooler there than it is here in the 50s. See here, the squirrels have been running around out there, eating the peanuts and nuts, and generally having a pretty good time and chasing each other. And boy, can they leap from one place to another. And as a matter of fact, when they're chasing each other, they move like you couldn't believe. Man, they're fast. So it seems to be something they do I wonder what they do if they catch one of each other. Probably don't know what to do with it. So anyway, got my weather station set up here so I can keep an eye on the weather up and down the West Coast and up in Seattle. It's good to see what's going on up there and down in LA and here in the Bay Area. I think there's something else. Oh yeah, the Dodgers won today. They are really dominating now.

I love it. I love it, I love it, I love it. Have a great night, Justin. And yes, it's been a while since I've gotten a food report, so I appreciate the steak salad report. 7-3 and all the numbers. And yeah, chime in if you need a sound check for your, audio check for your antenna. Alright, next on the list is mic. The first mic. K1MDRKK7IJZ. And with that, please come ahead with your report. Good evening, everybody. Coming to you live from near the Rainier Brewery, at least the old Rainier Brewery. Anyway, so tonight most of my report is going to be a critter report. It's kind of a little exciting on the critter report end. So the kittens are now officially eight weeks old, but like I said, unless I know you personally, we're going to wait until November 1st before we give them away. And which is pretty cool. They're absolutely adorable. They're fun. But the real report is an absolutely amazing report. So a little back history, this cat that I have or had. When we first got him, we didn't have the money to get him fixed and he was spraying everything possible. He was really getting to be annoying and he would purposely go out of his way to spray things like my helmet and my riding jacket. And I was none too happy with that. So I found him a new home. I figured I'd rehome him rather than. Yeah, I just found I'd better rehome him. So we rehomed him. And what the person that got him wanted a neutered male cat to be a barn cat. And Loki seemed to be the perfect cat for this job. So we found Loki found out that he did not like horses one bit at all. And after a few months of living at the barn or the farm, he decided to leave. And about six months later, he showed up on our doorstep again. He came back to us. And at this time we had more money. So we got him fixed. And he was a completely different cat. Fun, loving and just an absolute wonderful cat to have. I'm going to reset. And for the next like five years, we were happy with Loki. Loki was happy with us. And then he can end up with vestigial disease, which is one of his ears. Basically got an infection in it that you really can't do much about. And it made him wobble around a little bit and kind of took his coordination away. Well, one night he went outside like he normally does and he didn't come back in the morning. We were really upset. We thought that one of the local predators had gotten a hold of him because he couldn't fight or evade like he used to. Just tonight, my wife sends me a picture. Hey, look at this. And it's a friendly, loving orange furball that looks just like Loki. So what might have happened is that somebody took Loki and Loki ran away and came home again. It looks like my Loki has come home and I'm so excited and I can't wait to get home to see him because he is one of my all time favorite cats. Anyway, this is K1MDR returning it back to the net."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T21:43:09+00:00","id":62119,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62118,"text":" Mike, that's a beautiful story.

And for announcements I look at psrg.org, our website. Why can't I think of the word? The website, the psrg website is psrg.org. And on it there's a bunch of really great information about psrg. There are recorded educational meetings that are really interesting. One of the last ones was our very own Kurt giving a lecture on SS TV, Slow Stand TV, which was really, really interesting. So yeah, but also our website there are events to consider. One of the next big events coming up is October 25th is our next Rain or Shine, which is an in-person meetup of hams in the area. I guess hams and non-hams. People bring friends and yeah, it's just being out and about in the wild, just hanging out, ham radio fellowship. But this next Rain or Shine is a super special one because it's a Halloween Rain or Shine."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T21:53:11+00:00","id":62124,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62123,"text":" There's always pumpkin carving, all kinds of fun snacks and fun things to do. There's a costume contest. There's other ham radio operators to hang out with and chat with. And the new net is always hosted from Our Rain or Shine. A lot of times since there are so many net hosts, we kind of all take turns doing it. So it's just this whole big mishmash of net hosts and people trying it out for the first time. It's great. It's such good fun. But Rain or Shine is a great way to meet all of us. See us all in person. Put a face to the name. A name to the face. So the Halloween, Rain or Shine, October 25th. That's a Saturday at Das Works Park. And you'll see us. Look for the pile of antennas right next to the shelter there at Das Works Park. October 25th. Get there early. Stay there late. Also, we have a reoccurring event every Saturday. On Saturday, we have the Simplex Net in the Seattle area. It's every Saturday at 8 p.m. The Simplex frequency is 146.56. That's 146.56. It's a Simplex Net. It's a great way to test equipment. Things that you've built. Get really good feedback, constructive feedback. Sound checks. All of it. So Simplex Net every Saturday at 8 p.m. Also every Saturday, the Radio Club of Tacoma has an open house. The open house is 10 to 2 every Saturday. Radio Club of Tacoma has a real live clubhouse. It's so much fun. So many people go there to hang out and eat and check out what's going on in the museum upstairs. But just really, I mean, just visit. It's a real clubhouse in Tacoma. Find out all about that at w7dk.org. That is w7dk.org for Radio Club of Tacoma every Saturday, 10 to 2. And I feel like that's it for announcements. That seems good enough. Carry on with the net.

One of the other kitties, Tanner, who's a pretty big boy actually. He still hits his at her and bats at her but she doesn't care. She will walk right up to his face and meow as loudly as she can to say, you don't scare me in the least and she'll lay right down and just stare at him in the face. It is so funny. She doesn't back down from anything and she's a real sweetheart. The others are kind of sort of getting used to her. Mainly they just ignore her.

His name was Oliver and listening to all the wonderful stories just kind of made me really sad about missing Oliver. We had him for 13 years. Had a personality of his own, stubborn as could be, but an awesome, awesome dog. So really happy for everybody that's having all the wonderful cat stories especially I think it was Loci that came back for the second time I believe and Diamond coming into this family.

So let me share this one with you guys. I totally understand why she bought it and also that she doesn't really know anything about beer. It has a very funny logo on it. It's got like a sasquatch looking guy and he's just eating all this stuff. He's got like a sucker stuck to his foot. He's eating a candy bar and he's got a cookie on his tongue and a muffin and some chips. The beer is called Munchies and it is an Imperial Garbage Stout. And let me just flip it over here and read some of the ingredients. We've got Munchies, an Imperial Stout with cacao nibs, peanuts, marshmallow, pretzels, potato chips, graham crackers, certified color and natural and artificial flavors. At first I thought that's probably a joke, but the can is full of it. It's pretty gross. Definitely got to share this one with all my friends for Thanksgiving. Looking forward to that.

Yeah, you know, they tried. That's like, maybe you could do like a beer can chicken with that, or maybe you could, I don't know. Oh, yes, I guess practical jokes are around the corner. Well, you'd have that idea already. But first and foremost, how amazing is your wife? Peng, you're the best. This is so sweet. Beer and pizza. Oh my gosh. Ah, what a dream. What a dream.

This is repeater station kilo kilo seven. Hey, good evening, Rebecca and everyone on the net with the Alpha 7 Tango Zulu Zach in North Seattle. And yeah, it's been it's been a while for sure. This is my first transmission on ham radio via AirPods Max. I've had a studio pair for the studio for a about a year now. I got a pair on sale for like $379 when they were phasing out the lightning edition. But I saw the USB C edition go down to $429 and I couldn't say no to that. And the music kid I am, I'm real sad I didn't do it long ago. But having an everyday carry over the ear headphones like a high quality pair is like life changing. My buddy's like, I can't believe you dropped $400 on it. I was like, dude, you dropped $379 on your Bose and mine do like twice what your headphones do and the drivers are twice as good. But ham radio sounds really, really good. I can hear stuff pretty deep in the noise on these things. I don't know about is good about queuing up in like a DJ environment is like my Sennheiser 25s. Definitely wouldn't use these for that. They are great on the noise canceling is fantastic. But yeah, life has changed drastically. I've been hanging out with a lady friend. I've been going to a lot of shows again. I kind of had to pull myself away for a while and start putting money elsewhere. But I bet I've been to 12 concerts in the last two months. Things have been pretty good. Castle Rock, that show was like absolutely amazing. Baroness at Newmost, that show was really, really good. But let me take a quick break here."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-16T22:13:27+00:00","id":62147,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62146,"text":" Zach, you can't go.

That is a really cool music bar that I haven't been to in years and years and years. I just wanted to come on and wish you all well. It is good to hear you all. I've been listening here for a little bit. Honestly, I've been blasting some Kiss in the background, drinking some Modelo here and listening to Kiss, real sad about Ace's passing today. Kiss is one band that I don't know. I told Dean, KG7ODB earlier that all the Rolling Stones could pass away tomorrow and I probably wouldn't feel like half the sorrow I do as Ace. My dad was a really big Kiss guy. I don't know if I would have the music taste and the adventure to branch out and do as many genres as I have if I wouldn't have grown up on bands like Kiss.

I'm going to go back when it's snow-free through Montana and I'm going to drive the Mustang all the way back from Nebraska out to Seattle.

I hope all your critters are well and if I'm lucky I'll try to get down to the gas works. Saturday is a really busy day for me now but I would love to see you all. PSRG has been really good to me.

I get up in time for Atlantic dawn, which means that the sun is not far enough up over the horizon to actually directly hit anything. It hits the ocean and lights up the sky. That's pretty much when I get up in the morning. I like that. You have to turn on all the lights. It's going to be pretty soon. It's going to be getting dark at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I mean dark. By 4 o'clock, it's pitch black and you can see stars. One of the things about being high up on the globe in the subarctic area, it's fun. Today I've got to clean up for Tami. I'll be doing that. Cleaning up for the cleaning lady. I'll be doing that during the net. But obviously I'll be attentive. Don't worry. It's just carrying some garbage and folding up boxes and stuff like that. And this weekend, somebody was talking about dentistry. My dentist is, or Les and my dentist is coming for dinner on Saturday. They're a bit of a gourmand group. And he especially likes to mix drinks. Hold on a second. This is repeater station. Okay. Casey 2P KG returning, but very briefly. He likes to mix drinks and so does Les. And Les is pretty proud of her mixology. But he's turned up his nose and he drinks. And so now he travels around with a bag full of pre-mixed drinks, which is interesting. But we'll have them over on Saturday night for dinner and then we'll see what happens. But yeah, today I'm just going to clean up a bunch of small jobs that need to get done. The camera over at Camp 2 is the big one. But every time I walk around, there's stuff to be picked up, packed up, cleaned up. It's all waiting for me. Back to you. KJ5IRQ. This is Casey 2P. KJ5IRQ. This is Casey 2P.

Hope everybody's doing mighty fine today. Not much going on. I actually needed some sleep. I was so tired yesterday. The wife was up half the night worried about the operation and so I stayed up with her and then I only got maybe two hours sleep and then I had to go to the hospital. I thought, well, when she's getting the operation done, I can go out to the car and sleep and I couldn't. It just, all kinds of things running through my mind and I finally got her home and then she was kind of sick. So I took care of her and finally around eight o'clock last night, eight thirty last night, I was able to go to bed and sleep for a while and I woke up at seven hours later. So I'm feeling much better today than what I did yesterday because I was running on empty. But she's home resting comfortably. The operation was a success. The scarring is not gonna be as bad as we thought it would be on her face. And the tumor itself, the doctor says, he has a good feeling that it's not gonna be cancerous but we won't know for about another five days. So all in all things are looking pretty good. She's just, let me reset. She's just basically, you know, she's uncomfortable and she was taking some hydrocodone and it was making the stomach sick. So she was fighting that with the pain itself and finally we kept the pills in half. It was in half, the pill seems to be helping her quite a bit and it's cutting down on the stomach upset. So she's out on the couch right now sleeping. So it's just been an interesting couple of days. It took almost time this morning to work on, I'm trying to build a new website. The old one is inadequate. It's a blogger website that I use my domain name on and Google is just not keeping up with it. It's given me all kinds of index problems for Google search and so forth like that. So I'm trying to pick something more modern on Squarespace and I've been working with it and I just about got it the way I like it before I buy it. It's kind of like try before you buy but I can't get a fricking search engine on my page. I've tried to chat GBT, all kinds of stuff. I cannot find a way to put a search engine on my page even though they say it's possible. So I'm going a little crazy on that right now. It's not hard, it's just right on the main page. Only got three pages, blog page, file page and contact page. But I'll figure it out but I'm not about to spend the money if I can't have a search engine on there because I guess if they wanna type in, they wanna see pictures of bugs or street photography or whatever they wanna see, it has to be there because I average, the old site I was averaging about 100 to 140 posts a year and it had a history on the side of this website doesn't support history. It's not designed for something like that I don't think. And I plan to cut back on one more. I plan to cut back to maybe one to two posts a week and only use the best of the best of my photography. But even that's gonna add up and I want people to have an easy way to find certain things they're looking for. Anyhow, the weekend is gonna be pretty mellow. I was just stick around the house for the most part and I get to go to my grandson's football game tomorrow but I wanna stick around close to home just in case she needs me, my wife. And I don't know, maybe I'll get her on the air tomorrow and she can state her opinion about how surgery sucks. In case you're wondering, she's KV0-PSF. I'm trying to get her on the air. Always start to be too nice to have a duet where her and I sit down and we talk and we team on the duet drop in. That'd be kinda cool. Little fantasy of mine.

There's nothing worse in the world than sitting there waiting on your spouse to go through something, at least for me. I care much more for my spouse than I ever did for myself. So I'm glad that that is going well for you. And how are you building your website? Are you using the program? Are you coding it with HTML and CSS? Or have you explored, I think, into having a ad builder for you? They can do all the heavy lifting. They can build all the frameworks. They can do all of that. And then you can get in there and you can tweak it and change what you'd like to change about it to make it customized for you. It might save a lot of time off of your website building. I have built a few sites in my day coding from the ground up. I have a placeholder, or I did, I think I still have it, on my domain. It's just a placeholder.

I was going to say I like Linux as well. I run it on a couple of different systems. But if Windows wiped out, Windows crashed and you couldn't get your files because Windows crashed, well, you make one wrong move in Linux and that's going to crash too. Probably worse than all Windows because you can get what's called a kernel panic which means basically the system just will not boot. And then you'll have to go into a command prompt which is like a line of text and start typing in bunches of stuff to restabilize the system. And I just wouldn't as a beginner. I mean I always encourage people to try Linux. And what I would do to try Linux, I'd take one of those computers you've already got that are crashed, go to another computer and download the installer for Linux and there's a procedure. And then you get it and you get it put onto a USB stick and then you can install it on one of those computers that have crashed. Then you may actually be able to re-access your files as long as you don't format the entire drive which means erase it. I'm not sure what your level of skill is so I'm just using terms and explaining the terms. But you may know all that stuff already. I don't know your technology level. But Linux can panic. Like you can breathe on it the wrong way and it can just panic. Script could fail and it could panic. There's lots of things. What I would recommend if you want something that's going to last a really, really, really long time, I don't know if you're necessarily looking for a laptop but I would go with a Mac. Macs just don't crash. I've seen unless you get like a hardware failure or something, Macs don't crash. They're very user friendly. They're very stable. There will still be a slight learning curve but you can watch a video that says learning Mac as a Windows user and it will tell you all the differences. You know like you did this on Windows while you do this on Mac and it's as simple as that. They don't crash. They're very user friendly. Very powerful. Very fast. That's what I'd recommend. Get a Mac. You'll spend a little bit more if you're looking for a laptop than you would. You know you're probably going to spend $700, $800 maybe on a MacBook, MacBook Air or something. But it will last you for 10 years. No problem. And well the battery might not last for 10 years but the computer itself, oh yeah, it will. And the batteries are not overly difficult to replace in a MacBook. They're like you just take the bottom off and it's kind of right there. You just unplug it and plug in a new one and screw it down and whatnot. But that's my recommendation. Go with a Mac and if you're looking for a desktop, look if you've got a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse kicking around already,"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-17T04:59:04+00:00","id":62232,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62231,"text":" The E3SBX comments."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-17T04:59:34+00:00","id":62233,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62232,"text":" You can get what's called a Mac Mini, and the Mac Mini is just like a little tiny thing.

You're stuck buying all Mac stuff with Linux. Your software is free. Support is free and there's lots of it. Back to Ned. I agree, Ben. I agree. But I just, I'd hate to recommend something and then have it panic. I've had Ubuntu panic before. Granted, I was trying to recompile a driver to make an obscure piece of hardware work that didn't. And I recompiled the driver and it didn't work and it panicked. So, but if you're just doing basic stuff, yeah, you're right. Maybe they don't really panic anymore. But if you're doing anything a little bit advanced at all with the command line and you mess something up, they'll still panic. I've had them do it. I've had Linux panic. I've had Ubuntu panic.

Well, I think you hit some knowledge here. I certainly didn't know that Ben knew a whole lot about Linux, but that's exciting. I've been using Linux, gosh, off and on for 15 years. I am currently on an old system running Top OS, and it has been a rock star. I mean, it's really good. Mint is really good. Ubuntu is really good. I got my start in Linux using a derivative called LUBE. And I had to get a crash course in it. It was the system that was running all of our inventory at an old job I had. So I became very, very well-knowledge in Linux. So that's all I'm going to mention because I know you're busy today, Mr. D. But let's pass it over to Gray. I know he had a comment. Keep your ear out for him. He's usually pretty intelligent. Gray, your turn for the comment. This is repeater station Q. All right. This is KC2, PKGD. Follow Gail's advice. Get a Mac. Get a Mac. Why fool around with something you're trying to get work done on, with something that you're depending on at all? With Macs, you just don't do that. You don't need to. This is after 30 years of working in the Windows world and at least 15 working in the Unix and ZNX and BSD and all these other things. Those are great for technicians who want to be their own data center manager and figure out how to put these drivers in and stuff like that. With Mac, you don't have to do any of that. You know, you want to type a note, type a note. You want to run a program, run the program. It'll be hassle-free. And I had converted my father to Mac, which was almost too late for him to learn a new operating system, but he got it. My father-in-law came out and most of the trouble they had was, well, don't I have to do this? Well, don't I have to do that? Don't I have to go look for this? And the answer is no. It just does it. It just does it for you. Macs are for users. The rest of that stuff is for technicians, you know, of one grade or another. And I'll tell you, look at all these wonderful things I can do with it. That's great. It's a lot of work to make it do that. Macs, you get the same thing, almost zero work. So I'm with Darryl on this one. You're going to get a new laptop or Mac Mini. They're pricey, but they're really fast and really good. You know, go Apple Mac. Go Mac. This is KC2P.

Linux is for technicians and moderate to advanced users, definitely. My repeater, prime example, you guys know it runs Linux. And how many times in the past year has it crashed? Twice. I don't touch it. I don't use it. I don't install things. It just runs my repeater software. But twice I've had a journal crash. And then I had to log in. I had to type in FSCK forward slash Y forward slash blah, blah, blah and recover the journal. And that's running Debbie in 10 I believe, Debbie in 8 maybe, which is a relatively newer version of Windows. And the reason the file system, the journal panicked was because when the repeater would freeze up, I'd hold the power button and shut it off. Like you do with Windows, right? Windows freezes up, you hold the power button, shut it off, reboot it. It will reboot fine in Windows. It will reboot fine in Mac. You do that more than a couple of times on Linux and you will get file system issues, journaling issues. And I didn't know anything about it. I had to learn and I was able to fix the repeater. But how many weeks was that down before I learned? And I'm an advanced user before I learned how to fix a journaled file system. Several weeks at a time.

That was a really good conversation. And we can continue it too. My opinion about the three main operating systems goes like this. You want it to work out of the box, just be able to use it, use Macs. It's made just to be used. But you sacrifice a lot of things. You sacrifice the customization that you can get with Windows or Linux. You also limit what works well and what doesn't work well within that ecosystem. You can't really go into, and I could be wrong on this, I'm not a Mac user, but I'm not sure you can go into, can you go into command lines and make Mac do the things that you can do on the other operating systems? To be honest, I'm not sure. I don't have anybody doing it. And so me personally, I'm more of that engineer slash tech head. I want to be able to do that stuff. And that's why I stick to Linux. That's why I stick to Android. And that's why I've not bought into the Apple ecosystem. Although the Apple ecosystem is phenomenal. And the Apple OS for just about all the devices, now that I've messaged my wife a lot, it's pretty cool too. Again, me personally, I can't get past the point where it boxes you in. Like you have no creative ability to do anything on a Mac other than what it allows you to do. So that's just my own personal opinion. Again, different folks need different requirements and need different tools. So Miss D, I hope that gave you a lot of information about Linux. And again, if you want to reach out to any of us via email or whatnot, or even on the Internet, this is something I think almost any of us can talk about for hours. Okay.

I did my Morse code fix today. Boy, Morse code sounds antiquated compared to what you guys are talking about. But I did my Morse code and I talked all over. I even talked to a guy who is sending one watt out of the 705 icon. And I was using 400 watts. He was in North Carolina and I'm now living in Ohio. So the computer advice. Well, I like Macs now for users. That's, I completely agree with that. And I'm a nerd from the get-go. I don't even have a Windows computer anymore. Can you believe it? But, yeah, the Mac Mini is what I use. And I bought a new one. I got rid of my old one when I left Colorado. And I bought me a new one here. One of the new screens. Man, that's just gorgeous with my bad vision. Anyway, so good things being said here. I won't try to amplify it on it. But, yeah, you can do all that stuff that Daryl said. If you want to get nerdy with your Mac, you can. But it's a little more difficult. But, of course, that's because I'm used to Windows. And Linux, I used Unix many years also. Anyway, a lot of things a guy or a gal can do on a computer. The main thing I remember about computers is that they don't work. You can always count on them not working. At some point, they will stop working. Even a Mac. But less likely. Anyway, kind of fun to think about. But, yeah, when they work, they're glorious. I did my Morse code, though, today. My ham set's working pretty good on my ICOM 77610 and LA1K amp. And that's working now. I'll walk back to Colorado to my friends this morning. Anyway, that's the things I did. So, keep me on the list, Josh. I'm rambling here. I had breakfast number one. Breakfast number two is going to be at the pancake house here.

My mom decided to move up to Ohio where my mom's family's from. My mom and her husband and they all decided to move before a job and I didn't have much going on here in Texas. I was working in the oil field right before I went to the military and so I moved up there and I spent a winter, one whole winter. By the end of that winter, I was in the army. We actually lived down in a little place called Hells Mill which isn't far from, I'll say it isn't far, it's a few hours away in the Amish country, away from Cincinnati.

She's a little bit depressed because about a month ago she had an accident where she misjudged coming around a corner or a turn or something and one of these racks that hold the shipping containers down at the rail yard was kind of sticking out a little bit and she ended up hitting it, damaging her truck and then I guess she had a close call yesterday so she may, if she gets one more thing, she's almost been a year I think, or not a year, a million miles, she's almost been a million miles without having an accident and all of a sudden she's had two and she's afraid that she's going to get once more that she might end up losing her job so she's kind of stressed out right now so we're going to try to do something with her on Sunday or Saturday afternoon when I get back from my mom's.

You might even say the bond is $20,000, but if the feds have a hold or a retainer or a charge on somebody, either they pay the $20,000 bond, you would not be able to get out of jail because the federal would still be there.

Well, then let's go back into the top of the list. You know, I was thinking the other day on Wednesday while Gary ran the net, what to talk about on Friday. I really didn't put any thought into today at all. It's been one of those couple of weeks for me and just about all freaking aspects of my life. The last few weeks have just been weird. Did I tell you all about the fire? I know some of you all know about it. Anyhow, so we're still, honestly, we're still kind of dealing with the effects of that a little bit. It still smells like a big old campfire around. I don't have to go smoke like smoke. Danielle aired it out a bit yesterday, but in the afternoon, just still getting so hot here. You know, shoot, my mind just went blank. Don was telling us about his weather up there in Newfoundland, which jail tells us about quite often. And, you know, I understand you all are probably not happy with the weather and it being all dreary and cold. But boys, I would trade you all two or three days straight if you had wanted to. Still getting 90, 92 degree heat. Humidity is still a little bit high. We haven't had that break in the weather pattern yet down here. It's a little late for us this year, which is not unheard of for Texas. So there you go. All right. Well, let's move up to the top of the list. Let's check in on Gray, KCTPKG. And he was talking about his dentist coming over for dinner. And to some odd reason, my mind went straight to Hannibal Lecter. I know that Gray is not a Hannibal Lecter type person, but I don't know just the way he was explaining it and the what's the word I'm looking for? Maybe the advanced. I don't know what the word I'm looking for. I can think of it in my head, but I can't think of it to say it out loud. Does that happen to you all? Anyhow, for some reason, I maybe because I just potentially reading all the books of the Hannibal Lecter series within those few months ago. The way he was talking about dinner is almost like a prey pulling in it. I mean, a predator pulling in its prey. Like he's waiting to sling out a mixed drink at this dentist to blow his socks off. Anyhow, let's move it over to Gray. Gray, tell us more about your dentist, man. And I do have a question of the day. We don't have to answer it if you don't want to, but I was just wondering, what was your worst weather experience? A lot of us have traveled, so I'm sure we've all seen some record weather. But what is the worst weather experience that you've ever experienced? I thought that would be an interesting question. So let's move it to Gray. Gray, I will pass it to you.

This is KC2PKG. Thank you KJ5RQ for running the net. I know we don't realize this but this is Josh is at work basically now. I mean he's up working home but he's actually at work. He's on call and I want you to know Josh if you ever have to take a call you get wrapped up in something just call out and I at least have another copy of the list so we could carry it. While you get busy. A couple of things. OK. One of the reasons that we're having the dentists over because his wife is also also dentally trained is we invited him for Thanksgiving last year when they seem to have a really nice time. They're good people and we thought we'd invite them again and see if they want to come. I'm not a fan of mixed drinks. I never have been. I like it straight and I like the same thing over and over again so I can tell what it does to me. I know when I've had too much mixed drinks you don't get that kind of security and it can give you four times the hangover. So I stay away from them. Well you know at some point I want to talk about team net controls and simulcasting on Echolink but you asked me about the worst weather I was ever in. Now it would have to be the blizzard of 1978 in Boston where the there's a road that runs in a ring around Boston Route 128 and cars were stuck on there for three and a half four days. They you know they couldn't get plows to them. There's just too many cars and they're running out of gas and they can't keep the heat going and all that other stuff. And we were stuck in one of the suburbs of Boston. We were in Brighton and we couldn't move any cars. Number one if you weren't an emergency worker they didn't want to see you on the street. Number two they had come in with railroad plows you know the ones that have you know just pushed the snow over to the side and they jammed every car in and it all turned to ice so you couldn't get your car out. And that went on for about a week. That was that was pretty wild. It was beautiful and I didn't end up walking into town because I knew to bang a part but that was the worst I've ever been in.

He was actually from Newfoundland, a paramedic guy. But yeah, no, he was in the back of the ambulance and the tree fell on it. So, I think there was a couple more people that died during that hurricane. That was the first time we ever had a hurricane, like direct hit Nova Scotia. And then in February of 04, we had White 1, which was like a big blizzard. We had so much snow, we couldn't even, you know, it was up faster roof line. That's how much snow we got.

I was just, I went down a rabbit hole on ChatGPT about bonds and it is fascinating how this system works, right? So you know you could have a state bond and a federal bond if you only pay the state bond then you still won't get out but if you pay the federal bond you still need to pay the state bond. I didn't understand exactly how the bonds work so I looked it up so a state bond let's say is $50,000 well you pay 10% of that which should be $5,000 but if you're the one to place the bond for let's say your brother and he doesn't show up to court then that bond you know goes you're accountable for it so you still got to pay out another $45,000. Now federal bond can be an unsecure bond so let's say we started $100,000 for that but you sign for it but no money down so if he doesn't show up to court on a federal bond then you owe a whole $100,000. So man I'll tell you what I don't ever want to get in trouble because I wouldn't want to stay in jail and it sounds like it'd be extremely expensive to get out of right? And then second thing I wanted to say is I found my search button and it works and it looks good so yay for me. And then the third thing was for computers you guys were arguing about Apple's or PC or whatever. So with me I was a PC guy for many, many, many, many years right and then I bought my wife an Apple machine because every time she was on the PC she was screwing something up and at that time we were getting the blue screen of death multiple times during the week or the month because of something that she did. You know PCs, Windows machines, software like that they're fantastic machines but you got to be your own admin and tech support and you got to know a lot about the computer for the most part. Yeah you can muddle through and you know keep it working and stuff like that but anything that requires more than just a general knowledge of computers you know like you know how to open up Windows or how to you know browse on the web or how to you know write a letter on Word or something like that but anything beyond that can be get really, really complicated really fast so I don't for the average layman when it comes to computers I've never really recommended Windows and my wife has proved it and that's why we're stuck with her on Windows. Me I'm a little bit more knowledgeable but I'm not no tech savvy guy either but I've just found Apple to be an easier way to go. I don't I'm like most people I use average programs I'm not trying to write programs or take care of you know things like what Josh does you know a whole network of computers and you need to keep everything up for all the businesses that he's probably servicing you know departments and so forth like that but I've really enjoyed the Apple's computer quite a bit. Now for Linux I've had a few Linux machines and I think they're wonderful but yeah right now for me I always used it as just a basic computer so I use basically the operating system POP and POP3 always seemed to work really good for me but it has a very easy file structure you know it had a you could download programs that you want I usually put Netscape on there and I did 90% of what I wanted through Netscape you know being browsing or writing and so forth. I kind of use it like a Google Chromebook more than anything else right and it just always worked always did a good job and it did the basic stuff you know I could edit a file you know a photograph or something like that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-17T05:46:37+00:00","id":62271,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62270,"text":" I could browse the web, I could write a report, you know, I just put my pictures on the hard drive, you know, that kind of thing. And you can get into it so cheap too. You know, I was just looking on Micro Center's website and you can now find, get a load of this, a Yayzoo milk 13 pro with i3 Intel processor. Right? And you only need about eight gigs of RAM and you got, you know, you don't need a humongous hard drive on it, you know. So you can get into this thing for like $350. The base price was 225. You had a stick of RAM, 256 gig hard drive. And you know, you got the keyboard that you used on your old machine, you can use in the mouse, you can use, and you can load up POP3 on the damn thing. And it's gonna be reliable and it's gonna be good for a long period of time. So the only hard thing would be is like, you know, you'd have to, you know, make the hard drive a bootable hard drive and load up the system and so forth like that. But maybe somebody else could do that for. But anyhow, I mean, all of them are good. It's just preference and your, how advanced you are, you know. If you're not so advanced, then go with one. If you really wanna get into it and get geeky, go with the other, right? And let me see, there was one more thing I wanted to talk about. Oh, the weather, weather. Did I wanna answer your question, Josh? It wasn't what I, I mean, yes, I've gone through some stuff when I was a truck driver. I actually drove through a tornado one time in Halsted, Kansas and didn't even know it until I got out of it on the other side. And I saw all kinds of cars parked on the side of the road taking pictures. I looked in my rear view mirror and there was a funnel cloud hitting the ground. So that was pretty, pretty wild. But the wildest thing I've ever been through on weather is I was off the coast of Oregon and we were about 30, 40 miles out. And I was on a large ship. It was just 30 feet shorter than a carrier. You know, it's a big ship. And a storm was brewing out there and we were having swells of 60 to 80 feet up in the air. I mean, you opened up the hatch on the lower deck. There was kind of an observation deck where we used to stand watches and stuff like that. And you'd open the door and all you'd see is a wall of water in front of you, you know? And the ships are going up and down. It's being tossed around like a rubber duck in a bathtub while your four-year-old is just splashing like crazy. I've never been so sick in my life. I've never been so scared in my life. It was a rough storm and it lasted for 24 hours straight. There was nobody on that ship that didn't upheat everything that they had. You know, he's back to that control.

And slept all night. She says she slept like crap, which I believe it when she's sick. She never, ever gets sick. But when she does, it's bad. And she's sick. She gots it today to get better. She's going to urgent care. My last complaints, it's pretty bad. She never complains. So I'm a little distracted. I had to run up to the store and get her a ginger ale. And so that's, I apologize, George. I did write down your stuff. But I did hear it. And I wanted to talk more about your weather. That's fascinating. But I don't want to take up too much of the next time. So we will come back next time and talk more about your weather experience. Because I do definitely want to hear more about it. That's going to move us over to Daryl. VL1 UKZ. Daryl, you may or may not be with us at this time. You may even go get your shot. I'm not sure. But let's see if you're with us. Are you with us?

You read the post that I put in the group chat, eh? We've had two really, really, really bad storms. Hurricane Igor back in 2010 devastated the east coast of Newfoundland, washed out roads, cut off 120 some odd communities, there was houses washed into the ocean, winds at over 170 kilometers an hour sustained for a couple of days, roads were washed out everywhere including this community where I live. It was completely cut off for like 10 days. No one in, no one out because it just was not possible. It dumped, I can't remember how much rain, man, I just recently looked it up too, but it was a lot of rain. Vehicles were getting stalled in the streets because they were getting completely flooded. There was cars abandoned everywhere and it was crazy. Now the worst snowstorm we've ever had I think was worse than Hurricane Igor and this was Sonoma Geddon back in 2020. And during Sonoma Geddon we got approximately four feet of snowfall in 36 hours. The city was in complete blackness for like five days in the death of winter where winds yet again reached 170 kilometers an hour plus. Up here in this neighborhood they went closer to 200 kilometers an hour because we're on top of a big hill. Snow drifts were upwards of 19 feet high. Now I'm not kidding you here, 19 feet. A little bit more than that actually. Six meters, up to six meters high. Some of you guys that were around back then will probably remember the tunnel I dug through the snow where there was like 15 to 20 foot snow drifts on each side. Streets were literally impassable. Vehicle traffic, we declared a state of emergency. Vehicle traffic was absolutely prohibited from city streets. It was an absolute shite show here in 2020, in January of 2020. So this was like at the height of winter. And nobody had power. Everybody was freezing to death. Well no one froze to death but you know people were very very cold. You couldn't get out nowhere to get supplies. There was no getting gas. The power was out. All the stations were shut down. It was absolutely horrendous. The only way to travel around the city was by skis or snow machines. You know snowmobiles, skidoos, that type of thing. There was literally no other way to get around. I mean there was four feet of flat snow that fell. And with the winds the way they were there was literally snow drifts in the streets."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-17T05:52:23+00:00","id":62275,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62274,"text":" literally snow drifts that were in the streets that were eight and ten feet high because of the winds but some of the highest drifts were like up against houses and stuff where doors were completely covered you had to dig out from inside your house just to get outside when you open the door you were met with nothing but a wall of snow in some cases houses were completely buried up to their second story windows because of drifts it was it was absolutely unprecedented here in the province it was by far the worst storm in in history at least since the early 1900s and it was absolutely brutal so yeah that one was snow mageddon if you want to look it up i well i post in our group chat for anybody who wants to read about it um you know hurricane eagler's the first one i posted and snow mageddon was the second one i posted so give that a read uh i don't know for any of any snowstorms anywhere in the world that were as bad as that i'm sure there probably is but man snow mageddon was the worst thing i've ever seen in my life uh back over to you josh view on ukc"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-17T05:53:02+00:00","id":62276,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62275,"text":" You know it's funny you call that snowmageddon.

I have to think about that. I've been in some good ones. A lot of floods and wind. That sort of stuff in Colorado had bad wind storms. I'm just thinking the most bizarre weather I ever had was on a Mediterranean on a bike trip with my wife. We used to run bicycle trips in Europe. We were on one there in, I believe it was Southern Italy, looking across the Mediterranean. These funnel clouds came out of the sky on our bikes and it just scared the daylights out of me. I don't know. I got scared by that. They looked dangerous to me. It turns out they didn't cause any trouble. They were just these whirlwinds all the way from way on top of the sky down to the water. They were like little tornadoes, but they were very narrow. They had three or four of them. They were twisted different directions. It was just so bizarre. Anyway, apparently that happens there. They didn't seem to be too bothered by it. Boy, it looked like it could carry up if it came your way. Anyway, I guess that's the one thing I thought of when you said that. So keep me on the list.

Man you put in that fifth one and I'm screwed. Man that is, that's cool. I figured you would have seen some weather. You've had an exciting time with the black. I'm going to probably, I guess tell my story and then we'll move to Bill. Excuse me. Believe it or not. Of course down here in Texas we've experienced tornadoes. We experienced, I forget what they called it a few years ago when they had ice magen or whatever. Whenever our power grid fell, I experienced that of course. We were fortunate. We had a wood stove in that house. That was before we sold that house. We had a wood stove and I had lots and lots of wood because at that time I was very big into smoking meat. So we failed just fine. We all just lived in my living room. I had a generator. We didn't do too bad honestly. My family. My neighbors, they did a little worse. We moved them into our house for a couple of days and they didn't do too bad either. But that's near the worst that I've personally experienced. The worst storm that I personally, this probably didn't affect as many people as a tornado. I've been in two hurricanes. I've been in some pretty cool weather stuff. The wildfire, the grass fire that we had here a couple of days ago. We've had a few of those. But the worst storm I ever experienced, it happened in 2003. I deployed to Kuwait February 14th of 2003 in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We went to Kuwait for our build up. We go there and start getting ready for whatever's going to happen. About a week into it, maybe a week and a half, we go out to the actual desert. At the time, we were at basically an airfield far before the operating base in Kuwait. They were real close to Kuwait City. So we were not out in the desert for the most part during that time. But we did go out to the desert and we did training out there. During that training, the weather person in charge let our COs know that we had a really bad sandstorm coming in. A very bad one. I'm going to take a real quick break. There was not enough time to get us loaded back up and get us back to the fog or anything else. So the decision was made is we're going to rat it out. So we were told to take our weapons, get into our bivvy cover, which is a Gore-Tex covering that goes over our sleep system. The one thing the United States military has is a bad ass sleep system. But the outside covering of that is a Gore-Tex covering. Waterproof, rim-proof, it's really good. So we were told to put our work sacks up, lean up against the work sacks, getting up as high as you can, get into your bivvy cover, with your weapons, and any kind of sensitive items. We had night vision goggles. There's a lot of very controlled sensitive items in the military. I'm sure some of you all know. Those things, no matter what, you have to account for it. It doesn't matter if you get blown up. Those things have to be accounted for by somebody. And so all those things had to go inside the bivvy cover with you. And we were told to rat it out, and so we did. And the next morning when it was all said and done, I had sand up to my chest. Like, my body was buried in sand drifts. It was frightening. I'm not even going to lie. That was one of the scariest nights I've ever spent in my life. In fact, I would say that was scarier in the moment than anything that happened in Iraq. I was in some pretty heavy things in Iraq. I really, really was worried about the sandstorm. I mean, it was awful. Okay, well, there's my worst one. Moving down to bills, November 9, OFU. I'm going to pass it to you. And if you don't mind, take a little time explaining. I really need to answer something for work, and it's going to take me about two minutes to do it.

I'm going to break under pressure. Yeah, I mean, I've experienced some weather out here. One of them wasn't even as I was a truck driver. I was just driving as a, this is before I became a truck driver. I drove from New York to California. I had stopped in St. Louis to, what should we call it? I stopped at St. Louis and I stopped at a bowling alley and this felt like a bowling game. I mean, I had been driving for like a day or day and a half and I wanted a little break. So I stopped and I think I may have seen the arch, I'm not sure. But I stopped at this one bowling alley, bowled the game, got done, came out, it was raining. And then got in the car and started driving across. It was 70 and everything just stopped and I'm just like, oh, what the heck, man, it's just rain. But we sat there for about 15, 20 minutes, 30 minutes. I can't remember how long, so long ago. And then we got done and I saw it got kind of heavy way up ahead, as far as I could see, I couldn't really see very far. But got done, we started moving again and as I was moving, I had seen the effects of a tornado that had passed not too far ahead, within a few miles or so. Just saw things tore up and thrown around. So I was pretty close on a tornado there. And I think I've been semi-close to a couple other tornadoes as a truck driver. But I've been through one of the hairiest things was about 1, 2 o'clock in the morning, it was snowing. And it was just kind of like a whiteout. This is in the middle of the night. But there was lightning. And when the lightning would light up, it would just, it was blinding. You couldn't see anything. And at the time, I was just trying to look somewhere."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-17T06:05:12+00:00","id":62280,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62279,"text":" All right, I was just trying to find someplace I could pull over because it was just really hazardous driving through that. I think that was up in Iowa. And it was just trying to find someplace, an off-ramp that I could park on the ramp or a rest area or a scale. I think I finally found a scale and I went in there and there's a couple of other trucks parked in there just to be able to pull over and get some sleep and wait it out because it was something else, the storm there. That's the first time I had seen lightning during a snowstorm. So it was pretty crazy. I was in Texas going across 30 there and it took like a day and a half to go about 20 miles just because the roads were just complete ice and every time we'd get going, something else happened and there'd be another accident and then we'd be stuck again. So it took like I said about a day and a half to go about 30 miles to finally get into Fort Worth and make my delivery. But that one was crazy. Going down through Long Interstate 10 after I think it was Hurricane Katrina and seeing just all the devastation there. Luckily I missed it by a couple days. But yeah, being out here on the road you end up getting into some of these wacky weathers and it can get pretty crazy especially when you're in a truck. I was up in the Chicago area and they have a tornado warning of all things. And we went into the truck stop and was in there for about a couple hours and then came back to the truck and then they put out another alert, you know, take shelter. And by that time I was just tired so I said to heck with it. If it's going to take the truck then I'm just going to end up going with it. That's some of my wacky weathers and hopefully I killed enough time.

Thank you. That worked out perfect. I had a guy, one of the guys I hired five years ago, he changed phones apparently. He was freaking out, but he said he texted me pretty early. I was like, I can't admit to them that I'm up. He was like, I have to go to the next room. I have to go to the next location and all that stuff is missing. I thought just to give me a little bit of time and I would have everything reset. I feel like it's a brand new setup. That's where we're at. I've already done all that. Now I'm ready to run his response to make sure he's good to go. He's one of the health supervisors, so it's pretty pertinent that he has access. But yeah, you're where the stories are. It's fascinating. It sounded like 30 miles west of Fort Worth on I-30. I think that's what I got out of that. That would have meant that you were 16 to 20 miles east of where I live. So you were very close to me at that point. I would have said I would have come and got you, but it wasn't the same. It would have took me a lot longer than a day where you were on that particular time. You know what, I hadn't thought about this in years, but there was a tornado story that you all might be interested in. I was eight or nine years old. It was in the late 80s. I remember that. I was born in the 80s, so I would have had to be eight, nine, ten years old, somewhere in that time period. Anyhow, I grew up on a river called Nebraska. You can look it up. It's a river that flows through Texas. It flows really close to where I live out today. It's one of those things that's integrated into who I am because of living out there in the little community of horizons, which you might be able to find on Google Maps. It's really small. Anyhow, we're out there, real camping out there on the river. We used to do that all the time growing up. I had an uncle who was disabled because of a motorcycle wreck in the early 80s, and he would spend four to five months a year living on the river. He just looked like a mountain man, seriously. We used to go out there on weekends with my dad. My dad would spend the weekends usually out there when he did that, fishing and drinking and all that stuff. So we spent a lot of time on the old river. Anyhow, one old time, we were all out there camping and having a good old time, and a storm rolls in. Right there in the middle, right there where we were out, a tornado starts forming and dropping. I remember my dad and my uncle grabbing me and my brother, putting us down to the lowest level they could find and laying on top of us, kind of like a gully, and laying on top of us until it was over. Yeah, that was a pretty wicked one. I remember that. Pretty young, too. So stories and stories. It's amazing how sometimes y'all's stories jogs my memories on things that happen to me. What if that happens to y'all? Real quick break. All right, so we're going to move down. Let's see, that was Bill and Don and In-N-Out. I'm sure everybody else is In-N-Out. So let's pause here.

Where was I going with this? Okay. With the net controllers and the teams. Okay. Sorry. You see what works best for me sometimes. I was glancing something on my screen and lost my train of thought. Team controllers. I don't know how the Christmas thing is done. And I don't know how long it lasts. But team controllers could make that easier on people or even extend it. Or if you want to do fundraising or something. Like a 24-hour net. That would also give Ray to do something like that. I can tell you that as a new ham radio operator, I find most ham nets boring. I have been exploring a lot lately. Listening in. They are boring. I'm sorry. They just aren't. I am a 45-year-old guy. I don't consider myself old, but I am not really young. I am new to ham radio. I got my license less than a year ago. And this is. But not the hobby. Every net other than this one that I have written and explored. Not every net. Just about every net. Is check in. Maybe tell them a little bit about your day. And then listen the rest of the time. Or you just check in. And then the next person checks in. And then the next person checks in. And then the next person checks in. And then you are done. There is no communication. There is no talking. I understand there is a need for those types of nets. You know, for emergency weathers or something like that. But it seems like that is really all there is out there. Other than this net. There are a few other nets that I have found that I like. Technology stuff or space. There are topic oriented nets that I check out. But even they are not like this net. And like I told Bill, this net has really become an integral part of my day. It is all the ham radio that I do at the moment. But that could change. So, what I am getting at is as a new ham radio person, ham radio is kind of boring. And there is no wonder why it is not a top ten hobby anymore. It is something that I think everybody needs to address and try to bring into modern times. Hang on one second. To finish up my thought real quick. I think it is something that we do need modernization added on to. I am not talking about hardware. I am talking about the actual applications. That is where this came into mind. I am sure there are other platforms out there. But it is so easy to integrate it into other things. You could do a multimedia style ham radio net. You could still have ham radio on me. You could, like Gray said, let's say I am talking about some story I found. It is awful hard for us to share that link using echo link or All-Star through a chat feature. That would give us the ability to do something like that. There are so many possibilities.

Is Hemerill becoming obsolete because of the evolution of mankind and technology? Beep the hell out of me. I need to ensure I've changed a lot over the last 30 years I've been in. When I first got in there weren't cell phones, long distance phone calls where you could be across the street from a friend and you get charged $6 to make a phone call to them. Look at all the things that changed with computers, the internet, cell phones. It's most definitely dropped off you know there's no doubt about that. If you're not I mean it just has to evolve and change as we've changed right so you got all these old timers out there and they just you know they are dead set on this is the only way we can do it no other way and if you do it any other way you can't call yourself a ham radio operator. But you know because of the we've evolved and technologies change things that were obsolete because of all these other technologies are coming back. In my hometown of Kansas City we have is what's called KC wide it's a network of fusion repeaters. I think there's something like 40 or 50 repeaters not only just in Kansas City but up in Omaha I think Des Moines, down in Florida, Georgia and it's just spreading out there and so now you can you know get on KC wide. They do have a lot of boring nets I agree that needs to change and I don't know how they can change it but it's the repeaters are becoming useful again. It's another form of networking you got to use your VHF, VHF radios with the internet and interface and all fours so forth like that but it's doing something that was never been done before and I think it's absolutely wonderful that we have it you know so I don't think it's obsolete I just think it's changing and once all the old guys die off and we have all the young ham radio operators around maybe there'll be more enthusiasm towards it I don't know. As for nets there are some good nets out there everybody says the only one they hear is you know you know this cow bung a net and this is the one that's all to me it's a good net it's I enjoy it that's why I'm here all the time you know I like checking in but nets are not the all end all be all of ham radio. I you know took my time mind you but there's other places I go where there's select groups of people and we have conversations all day long just like we do here and there is no net control it's just when we when somebody pops in we start talking and when somebody's gone we don't you know but I've had some really fun filled and develop some friendships outside of nets on private fusion rooms you know that's why I like fusion so much you just got a look and you got a search and eventually you'll find a couple other groups out there they do exist and they don't have net controllers or or lots of rules or it's kind of almost a private deal where there's no repeaters even set up on the system and you can you know be very candid about what you want to talk about so I guess what I'm trying to say is that don't ruin it yourself just the nets you know there's there's hundreds of thousands of people out there on all the different digital modes and one of the reasons why ham radio operators get involved in this is because they want to meet people and make friends and it can be done you just got to put yourself out there so don't limit yourself expand your Verizon's grisons not Verizon yeah either way and be all you can be join ham radio thank you baby's your own there"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-17T06:24:43+00:00","id":62288,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62287,"text":" Yeah, you know what? You're right, and I'm guilty of that. I mean, I really haven't ventured out. I've messed around a little bit with the two-meter stuff with local. There's just not much of it. There is one repeater that's connected. It's the NCTC, the North Central Texas connection that a link, I don't know, 40, 50 repeaters on it. The stretches are a good part of Texas. And I'll be honest, I'm just too intimidated to get on there. They talk about things way above my pay grade when it comes to ham radio. Then there's a local one, which is just local. There used to be a couple of old timers that got on there and talked about things when I first got on ham radio a year ago. But, too, it was passed on and now nobody talks on there. I've called out numerous times. I did get a hold of the person, so I don't know if this is normal or not. It doesn't seem like it is. There's an amateur radio club here in my town, but the only guy that was listed on it just died. And the local repeater is owned by that amateur radio club and there's nobody in the club. So, I just thought, I guess they all bite off. Now, I've looked up ham radio call signs in my area and there's quite a few of them out there. They just don't talk or they're doing other things. They're not doing the local thing is what I'll say. I need to button down and finish my general because I really didn't learn CW because that's where I really want to go next, I think. I just find it fascinating and I just need to do it. So, George, you're right. Very, very, very, very well. Oh, and I think one of those two words work, horizon or horizon.

When it comes to analog, you know, you get your group together, you know, it doesn't take much to participate.

As long as you've got a phone, you can get on here, you know, and I really like that. So it doesn't exclude based on financial ability. Because I know D-Star radios and Fusion radios and stuff, they cost big bucks. You're paying five, six hundred bucks for a handheld in D-Star and Fusion. DMR, luckily you can get radios that are very cost effective and get on DMR with a hotspot or a repeater. My repeater here has DMR capability. It's only for me to log into it and put in a serial number and blah blah blah. I could activate DMR on here. But no, there's no sense. All-Star is fantastic. I really like it. It's clear, functional. I don't barely ever move the repeater off Do-Drop-In. It's part of the Do-Drop-In network. And as you heard earlier, you know, another station from here in the area checked in and it's good. I hear Don on several nets actually, which is good. And there's a few more V01s to check in in the afternoon, sometimes in the evenings, to various other nets. So the repeater does get used. Not a whole big bunch, but at least a little bit by other hams here locally. And I use it constantly. I'm usually always having an HT on somewhere in the background. You know, it's a lot of fun.

Dave had the Santa Watch Net for years, and essentially what it was is Dave was tracking the radar, tracking Santa's positions, and reporting it over there for the benefit of any kids listening to get them to bed and stuff. And then after several years, we brought Santa Claus on board. And Santa would be there with a radio in the sleigh to talk to any kids that had last minute changes to their list or just wanted to talk to Santa. And then we started doing that. Now, it's a multi-station effort. Jeanette, KI5 SSR down there in Texas, who's a great net control and a great friend. Her and her husband Mike. Jeanette is primary net control. Dave is still tracking the radar and reporting all of that to Santa's positions and stuff from NORAD. Yours truly plays Santa Claus. And Bill was in the background last year and the year before, logging and making sure Santa was getting the kids' names along with the licensed ham that checked in and their call sign and everything. And then in the background, while the net is going on, the appropriate information is being fed to me. So when I come on as Santa, I've got a list of kids' names there that are already prepared and typed up. And I run down through them, talk to all the kids or any adults that want to talk to Santa. And then we pass it over to Dave and then he does the radar thing and then back to Jeanette. And she takes more check-ins and kids' names and stuff. It's just an all-around good time here on Christmas Eve.

Thanks for running the net Josh. Good job as usual. A couple of things you know developed in the last round. You know one of the things that a lot of hams do and I thought of this while George is talking about fusion rooms. I mean I have one and I never use it. I think if they were to administer those better like when they go dead for a month they should be deleted. A lot of hams do this. They come up with a million different ways of getting out. Everybody wants to go on their Peter. And that would be fine if those repeaters were leaked because then there would be traffic on them. Most of the repeaters around here are silent most of the day and they're not linked together. So they get on there and call out and nobody's listening. And that's too bad. That's too bad. So I think you know hams need to concentrate their forces and their technology so that everything is either bridged or we only use these repeaters or something like that. The second thing that came to me was I think how much effort you put in as a net control makes a big difference to how fun your net is. I think it makes a huge difference. I mean there's plenty of people who just say you know the call sign and you're next and that's all they say. And I learned from guy on here. Okay, why that you should always somebody makes a transmission should always reflect back to them what they said so they know You heard them. Know, and we got a couple of controls. You don't do that. And that's too bad. That's too bad. Last thing. Yeah, we're down to two. I want to go. I left a trans former on a chair over there and I want to test this camera out the bad one. But I'm over there on the quan shang and I'm talking to my high power node. There's still a lot of leaves on the trees. So it's It's difficult to go the half mile that the signal has to go, but we're always fall off or get a lot clearer anyway 73 all you guys. It's always a privilege and a pleasure.

So this is going to be kind of a weird time. I did find out though that because of the slowdown of freight and everything else, things are going to kind of change for me. So I don't know if I'm going to be on the air as much during the week or not because usually at that time of day when you get started I will be doing some other stuff. Still starting early in the morning but it's going to be, I'm going to be busy for at least two to three hours during the net so that kind of sucks, right? And that's only two days out of the week. The other two days I'll be available to be able to get on here and say hi and stuff like that but yeah they're really cutting back. I think I talked about this before with you guys because of the tears and customers are slowing down and on their ordering and of course their customers are not buying like they used to. They're holding off on these large purchases because the little things in life are costing so much more, right? So it's going to be, I guess, you could say a little bit life-changing for me just on that aspect for a little bit until I find to say decide that, you know, well I've already decided it's just a matter of time when I get it all up.

And before this job that I have now, I was the national warehouse manager for the company and so we did a lot of purchasing and I've built the vendors 101 and shipping and all that stuff. And I've seen it in what our own personal company is doing. There is a slowdown on purchasing and it's happening not just here in the United States, it's a worldwide slowdown. And a lot of that is attributed to the uncertainty of tariffs, I think. But it also alludes to the uncertainty of manufacturing and border disputes now with so much of the world kind of at each other's throats.

Hope you're having a good one man. We definitely are up here. Not long done with the Cowabunga Net. As a matter of fact, we finished this morning just on time. It was one minute past the start of the Net when we connected this morning. So that was Josh's timing was impeccable to switching over this morning. Sometimes that happens, sometimes we're early, sometimes we're late. You know, Cowabunga, it's you know, hit or miss sometimes. But other than that man, everything's going great. We got some rain coming down up here this morning. So there won't be any quad riding today, unfortunately. I've been doing that quite a bit lately too. And getting out on the trails man, it's just so much fun. It's unfortunate the bike was down most of the summer, but now I've got a new one. Well not a new one, but a more powerful, much larger four-wheel drive than the little 220 that I had before. So I'm able to get into some places where I just wouldn't even have risked it on the smaller bike. But this thing man, it crawls like a tractor. You put it in super low gear and man, you got 15 gears in drive on this one and 5 gears in reverse. So even in reverse you can, you know, tune your gearing. It's kind of unique. The bike was originally designed for the Department of Forestry and Wildlife here in Canada. And the RCMP adopted it for their off-road vehicles and it's just a very well built, very hardy machine. And I'm very happy to have one. They were only made for a few years. And now John Deere has the design, if you can believe that one. So the Trakster 500, the John Deere Trakster 500 is the newer version of it. I've got the 2005 Can-Am Trakster 500. So it's an excellent machine man. I don't know if you do any ATV riding or not, but it's one of my favorite things to do.

So it's basically my only form of transportation, and we've got a farming equipment exemption in this part of town that goes back well into the 1960s before we were even part of St. John's. And so that allows us to operate ATVs on the road up here, so we can ride them on the road to get to the trails we're going to. I've actually been pulled over and had my ID checked twice by the police department, and all they told me was, drive safe. And so that's really good. And it gives me the opportunity to get out and enjoy nature, even with the visual impairment, you know, because I'm in the woods and having a good time. Man, I love it. But other than that, I'm just going to be sitting around the house for the rest of the day, because the rain keeps me in. And I'll just be chilling out, relaxing, listening to the net.

Well, needless to say, I don't want to sound like I'm talking all political and stuff, but our public transit down here went through some schedule changes, you know, changing in the schedule, a new schedule. 6.30 is the last bus that runs around here for going downtown. Well, it didn't go any further than what I thought. I thought I was going to keep on going out to Harvard, but well, it didn't happen that way, and I ended up having to walk part of the way to my meeting, so I got my transportation problem situated and resolved. I think one of the club members is going to start giving me round check rides back and forth, which is cool.

Thanks for reminding me. I do need to go get my COVID shot. Now, I guess I'm told that we can get them now here for a while. I guess they were tough to get, but I guess they're available now. These are the few places. So, thanks for that reminder. I need to go make an appointment and go get my COVID shot. Because I haven't had one in like a year, and that's just not okay. Alright, we'll say 7 degrees to Peter. And up next, we have Barbara, KI7VR. The mic is yours. This is repeater station Kilo 4. KI7PKL Net Control and everybody else on the World's West Front 6S. I'm glad I finally made it in after getting stepped on six times. It was not an easy entrance today. It was kind of frustrating. Anyway, happy Friday. And I do have a grandma report, which is kind of why I was anxious to get in. Night before last, we had a bit of an emergency. Grandma did not feel well at all. Chest pains, shooting pain down her arm. So, it was ambulance time. So, they took her over to the Salem Hospital, and she is still over there in the heart unit. But, you know, the good news is, I mean, good question mark, they can't find any marker of anything. They did EKGs, they did blood work. So, they're keeping her there for observation, given her age and her symptoms. But, you know, at 103, things go wrong, and I'm not sure they can cast her at all. But, they're trying. They're doing their best. And I'm going to go back over later this morning. Hopefully, she's finally getting a good amount of sleep. So, that's my grandma update, and I'll keep you all posted. But, looking forward to seeing some of you all, hopefully, at Rick Reel, if I'm not needed at the hospital or something. But, I hope you all have a good day. I'm just going to get to work here for a little while, and then go visit grandma. So, that's it from me.

I don't know what to do about this. So when I was in rehab, the doctors that were there were taking care of me and my meds and everything. And when I came back to Escalante, I figured that they had transferred all of my meds back to my doctor. That's what you figure happens, right? So I told my doctor I wanted to change meds from what they were giving me to a different, less stronger pain med. But I still wanted some pain meds for my ankles, just the less strong ones. And she said, yeah, that's a good idea. And I said, OK, so they stop it. And then I found out yesterday that they called me. And my doctor's office called and said that she had looked into reporting or whatever. I don't know what system she used. But she found out that somebody had still had control of my meds over at St. Joe's, which I did not know that, and that she will no longer be prescribing any of my narcotics. And I went, wait, what? So now I can't get any of my pain meds anymore. I've got to find a new doctor to take over my meds and get the ones that I had prescribed from St. Joe's taken off. It's a nightmare. So yeah, I'm freaking out about that. So it caused me to write another pain song. Joly, if you're listening. The pain series continues. So there you go. All right, have a great day, guys. KC7F.

And I alternate between getting a lot of work done and wondering where the heck everybody is. But it's a nice day, so no complaints. No big plans for the weekend really. If it's drippy and wet we'll have even fewer plans. I really don't have much of a report, I'm sorry to say. So from the zombie apocalypse back to the net, KK7ZRY. That's kind of funny the way that happens. And then Fridays when everybody trickles in and goes a little slow that way. Hey let me do an announcement since nobody seems to be around, maybe somebody wants to wake up. You know coming up just a week away, the 25th. What is that a week away? What day is the 25th? Anyway, whatever the 25th is. It's season 7 episode 6 of the Halloween Rain or Shine Noon Net Extravaganza. It's going to be at Gasworks Park. And yes, you should go. They're going to be next to the covered Gasworks section there by Lake Union on the east side of the park. You can stop by for donuts and coffee. You can check into the net of course. And wear a costume if you're so inclined. There will be pumpkin carving. There will be contests I believe for that. And if you can't make it in person of course, check into the Noon Net and get in on that. November 8 is the next PSOG educational meeting. It's going to be at 1 o'clock and the topic is amateur radio in space. If you're interested in that November 8, 1.30 on Zoom. That's how you find out more about the ham radio in space. There we go.

I have a little hiss on my signal when I do that. But sometimes from the loft up here I can get in. But one of the things I've noticed is that, and I've mentioned this a few times, is that over a long period of time, a couple of years now, I've been going point to point between here and one of the remote receive sites. And normally I didn't really notice propagation on VHF. I never really paid attention to it. But since I've been trying to see if I could hit one of the remote receive sites from this particular location, I've noticed that there is a big change from day to day sometimes, whether or not I can hear the repeater or I can hear me or one of the remote receive sites can hear me. And it's really something, how much it changes. And sometimes I thought, well, maybe it's when there's more foliage. But that has an effect. But it can be different from day to day regardless of the time of year. But anyway, to answer your question, yeah, we're coming in on the internet. And that's usually how we come in. This is usually just a lot easier. I'm on All Star right now. I'm using a All Star Web Transceiver right now.

It's a 40 to 10 meter ops center fed antenna. It seems to be resonant on all the bands where I would expect it to be, but it's incredibly noisy. So I have to figure out what's driving that noise floor up. So I'm going to do a little bit of that. Maybe add a few toroids here and there.

They're actually doing some reconnaissance for a place they can camp out for the month of December and January with their cat, they've got a 19 year old cat, and so they're wanting to bring their cat to hang out with them for a couple of months. They're coming from Mazatlan now, and they're going to go check out San Miguel de Allende this week. Otherwise, Ron, I think if I'm not mistaken, you're in...Chandler, Arizona comes to mind. I'll actually be in your neighborhood speaking very, very broadly, flying to Mexicali and crossing the border into Yuma, visiting a friend there and then driving up to Lake Havasu, and then back, and then crossing the border and flying back to San...well, near San Miguel. So I think you were right in the Phoenix area, if I'm not mistaken, and that'll be in December, but I'm not suggesting I drop in on you for lunch, but just wanted to let...include that in my report.

And I get no pecuniary interest for saying this. Different Costco's actually can massage their local inventory based on you know, what that area is all about. And so I don't find it hard to believe at all that you might find certain coffee in a certain spot and not in another spot. I mean my warehouse I worked at, Woodinville, Woodinville Washington. It's right there in Microsoft's backyard. You know they have a lot of East Indian employees there. And my warehouse and the Kirkland warehouse in downtown Kirkland, we had more East Indian food in our warehouses than anyone in Puget Sound. So if you wanted to get your curry or whatever you got to get, whatever you could get it at one of those two Costco's. But if you went into Seattle or even probably Issaquah or Aurora Village or whatever like that, any of those Costco's Linwood, you wouldn't be able to find that. So I mean it's just that again, each warehouse can massage their inventory. Of course all Costco's have a lot of the same things, but again each warehouse has an inventory manager to kind of massage how the local community likes it. Yeah, get your coffee where you can. How about that? There you go. Oh and this is common knowledge now too that Costco's got rid of all of their coffee grinders by the way. So you can always buy grinders online on Amazon or Costco or whatever. But yeah, the in-store grinders are gone. So plan ahead, plan ahead accordingly. Anyway, James has been waiting.

Oh Costco, yeah the Costco's when we were in the Texas, different stuff. Every Costco has different stuff, and a lot of the same stuff, but you'll find stuff. And Kathy found something in one of the Texas Costco's when we were visiting. Oh I've got to get some more of this, and we got back here and we couldn't find it anywhere.

I've been to the Tijuana Costco in Mexico and they have pulled pork sandwiches in the food court. I'm like, yes, I guess I will. They have a little apple fritter, I forget what it's called, the Mexican word for it, but it's an apple fritter type thing that's heated. You know, it's like an awesome McDonald's apple pie type thing that they make in their food. And if you go to Canada, you can get poutine, which I'm not a fan of, but you can also get chicken fingers in the food court in Canada, but you can't get it down here. So anyway, the things, yeah, yeah, the regional stuff. All right, thanks Michael. Have a good day. Henry, you're up next. Hello and good morning, N7 JBJ. Good morning Q in the group, this is N7 JBJ. Very interesting morning, started at about 0-2-30 in the morning. One of the station managers, at least this is a claim from my wife, decided to actuate the remote control for the TV and was sitting on it, so the volume went all the way up, lights came on and some commercial was on, I don't know, but woke us up and my wife's an early riser anyways, I think she would have been up within the next hour or so. Prepare for her day at work, but me, I am more of a like 6 o'clock in the morning riser. But woke up, we laughed about it, had coffee, and I've been tinkering around ever since. Contemplating a nap, and I'm not a nap person, I do not take naps, so I think that shows my lack of ability of being a genius because geniuses are supposed to nap a lot, I do not. Costco, Costco, very interesting, yeah, and regional differences of them. I've been to the one in Hawaii and they have a lot of different things, and I've been to the one in Japan. Japan is very, they have Kirkland items, but they also have regional items, dried shrimps and dried fish and yadda yadda. But one of the things, oh, and they have sampling of hard liquor. You know how Costco has their sampling tables, they'll have hard liquor sampling, and they'll have wine sampling and beer sampling. But the biggest thing I notice that's different from the Costco's here in the States is they are very polite. All the sampling stations, everyone is in a very polite line, one behind the other, and they take turns. Unlike here in the States where there's a gaggle and you can't even get your basket through because Bobby Ray wants to get some pork rinds. Anyways, so there's that. And what else is happening? Tons, tons, but that's all I'm going to share right now. Hi, hi. And I'll turn it back over to you.

I had my fourth flight in training yesterday. And I'm going to say it was one of the best flights ever, both for the type of training we did and just success in controlling the craft quite well and that kind of stuff. We did some power off stalls, did a couple of those with a turn. We did power on stall. And then we practiced emergency procedures which I thought was really cool. That is of course, he just pulls the power back to idle to simulate an engine out, your engine failure. So you have your steps and procedures or whatever and you set your plane to best glide. And then you start looking for a place to land and you line it up. And when he did it he demonstrated it first and then he let me do it. And when I did it I controlled the craft. I ran through the checklist, the procedures really well and then managed to line up on a little farm road out over where we were and got down to the deck. And he hit the power back on and he took control and we pulled up and he said, that was about as good as it possibly could go. I was like all right. I hope in a real emergency situation which I hope to never see, I hope I can pull it off like that as well. And then I also did my very first landing at the airport. So straight in approach, nice calm winds, no big deal. And I think for a very first landing I did very well actually if I don't mind bragging myself. So anyway, so next one is Sunday. Sunday midday we are going to go up again. So just keeping it rolling. Sunday's lessons are going to be procedure turn type things. We are going to go out and practice turning around a point they call it. So you keep your wing tip on a point so you can do a nice perfect circle. And then the other one is cornering like making rectangles and keeping it square according to the wind and what not. So that's what we are working on on Sunday. Anyway, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

But so many good gifts in there. A whole ton of electrolyte capacitors. Not sure what I'm going to use them for yet because I haven't started taking apart old radios. I could get into that I suppose. But I also had a GPS antenna and some I think they're lithium cell batteries. But they have no normal markings, no markings that actually identify them. Voltage checks out. I'm going to very carefully try charging them and see what happens. But yeah just a ton of fun parts in there. Having a blast going through that. Taking a little inventory and trying to keep it organized because if I bring stuff in faster than I can get it into organized drawers and stuff. I will be awash in electronics and won't be able to find anything ever again. But yeah that's pretty much what's going on over here. Nice to hear from everybody.

So I'm just kind of waiting to see what my superhero kind of things will be. I don't know if it's invisibility or the ability to fly or whatever, but I can't feel anything different so far there, Declan.

Even if they can't be physical golds unfortunately. Maybe one day. We never know. And there's something else I wanted to say, but I'm trying to think what it was. I can't remember now. It will come back to me eventually I'm sure. Yeah, thank you very much Graham. Always greatly appreciate you being on here on Friday running the net. Well, the first part of it of course because I'm aware that Dave Koff with the Eight Sierras of Lima picks up the reins for a second part of the net. So yeah, I always greatly appreciate you being here and running the net. And of course, it's always great fun trying to compete for this virtual gold medal, even if it isn't physical. I still haven't found what I was going to say because it was roaming around in my head, but I just haven't managed to fish it out.

Now listen, I'm going to make you a promise right here right now and everybody are the witnesses to this promise and that is if I happen to be the jackpot winner, I don't mean like maybe a once a year ten pound or something, but if I happen to be the jackpot winner of the lottery, you know what I'm going to do Declan? I'm going to look back all the logs which we do have saved, I'm going to talk up and count up just exactly how many times you've been up there with a gold medal and I'm going to have the same number of gold medals actually made up and be delivered obviously with some security attached and delivered to your front door and be just landed into the front garden there. So that's my promise but I have to win the jackpot of the lottery or something similar. But if I do, there's a promise, there we go. And Declan, I'm actually beginning to think you're talking about the ever forgetting things as well as time is going flying by. Declan, I don't know, maybe you're spending far too much time on the radio sir with all us old boys, maybe picking up all those kind of elder habits and all the rest. All we do is moan and groan about time passing by quickly and what's going on here, what's going on there and oh I had something interesting to share but I've gone and forgotten it, I'll tell you again tomorrow. And hey listen, you're picking up all these old man traits so Declan, do you think you might be suffering from too much kind of exposure to old ham radio operators? That's my final question back to Two Whiskey Zero Kilo Yankee Hotel. This is repeater station... Uh no, from Two Whiskey Zero Kilo Yankee Hotel. I think it's just a case of having other things going through my mind between school and you know, just life really. Maneuvering through life in like, I will say now I think later adolescence would be quite a little word to say. So yeah I don't think it's exposure to old folk that's gotten me forgetting things and talking about the time flying. I genuinely feel that way about the time because I mean I will say in terms of amateur radio I'm probably one of the, well obviously there are people I've spoken to who have a lot more radio experience than me but there are also a lot of ham radio operators that I've spoken to who have had less time on the radio than me even though I am in some cases much younger than them. So yeah I feel like at this point I am, I can be considered relatively to some a veteran so maybe in some regards I am the old folk. Oh well whatever the reason may be it happens and if I remember things I remember things if I don't I don't. So I guess with that being said now I'm finished with what I have to say I'm going to go ahead and pass it back to you once again Graham.

So I have a fire going in the fireplace right now It seems really nice and a nice it's been a nice fall day our peak color is Is Past but it's still nice and colorful the Reds are going but there's still plenty of yellows and oranges left in the foliage So critters we had Riga took her first ATV ride last Saturday. We went with another couple and She did absolutely wonderful. She sat on a blanket beside of my wife and I and She Just was so calm and it just was really nice and we stopped off and then let them out and our friends have a dog too and they just played well together and unfortunately, we were almost back to our where we started from and we had a breakdown and Our friends had to tow us the rest of the way Not very far Unfortunately, but our ATV has been in the stock ever since and it still is not fixed and we're supposed to ride this weekend with the same friends plus another couple and We're still going to do it tomorrow The friends that are joining us tomorrow have a larger one and it's a double feeder. So it'll take four people easily and we're just going to ride with them and just enjoy some more foliage because it's fading fast and We just want to get out there and enjoy it in the sunshine and the warmer temperatures tomorrow.

Well, thank you. Thank you so much for that. And he wasn't glad you had a good weekend last week, apart from, of course, the breakdown and tow towards the end. That's not so good. I hope everything gets sorted without being too much of a cost and everything else and you can get back to it as soon as you have enough of good fun with the ATV and your friends there as well and sharing that activity at the weekends, perhaps. So that sounds great. And I wonder, did Riga keep the goggles on for the full trip? I hope she was behaving really well there. But it seems like great, great fun and I love the autumn colors as well there, Paul. Absolutely wonderful, wonderful. I've taken a few pictures. I've not had the main camera out, the DSLR. I haven't, you know, I've got it all ready. It's ready to go and the tripod ready and everything else to go and do things. But of course, when we're taking out puppy Odin with us, it's not quite, you know, all the kit and the little that goes with the DSLR activities with all the hanging onto a five month old puppy being berserking. It's just always kind of very compatible. So I'm just kind of relying on the old iPhone to take some pictures of the autumn colors around here. But yeah, the colors are fantastic. They really are. And of course, the leaves are falling down and causing a little bit of a nuisance to some people's gutters. But thankfully, the trees around here are far enough away from our property not to cause us any difficulties. When we stayed up in Dunkeld, oh man, I'll tell you I had to clean out the gutters just about every two weeks. The leaves, we had big, big trees all around us. So it was something else. But anyway, there we go. Anyway, Paul, let me throw it back to you and see if you have anything else for us.

We hope to get it back this next week, so we maybe get a ride in next weekend. Most of the trails close November 1st, so we're really getting to the end of the season here. And most people winterize theirs and put them up for the winter, but we don't. We plow with it. We have a plow that we put on it, and we have a fairly long driveway that reaches the major road that comes down in. So it's a little too long for a snowblower, so we actually plow with it. So yeah, we're hoping it will get fixed and not be anything too, too serious because we do rely on it for that for sure. And Riga will have her final vet visit on Thursday this week for the last round of vaccinations, and she will be fully vaccinated at that point. And I think they're going to do the microchip at that point too, but that will be the rabies and everything. She should be set to go at that point, so that will be a good thing. And she's growing tall. Oh my goodness. I can't believe how tall she's getting. And it's really noticeable because when you put her beside a chyro, there's a noticeable difference now in the sizes between them. But they still get along really well, which we're really thankful for. So Graham, you have a good week. I'll try to report back on updating everything next week and 7-3 to everybody.

So you've got some beautiful pets there and also the ATV and what you get up to there activities and ploughing and doing the trails and everything.

I'm not a great traveller there Paul. I'm just not a great traveller but I love to know more things about around the world and have the, you know, I love to on YouTube and explore different areas around the world and it's always great to go onto QRZ.com and speak to somebody and look at them and then find out a little bit more about a picture.

I've been busy with relanging my network, computer network at home here. A couple of Windows 10 machines have been using as servers. I've moved files, certain data files off of those onto some Windows 11 computers. And so I've juggled things around. I've made this whole thing probably more complex than it needs to be with data here and programs there and files on another one and cross backing up and etc. etc. It's gotten to be a bit much, but I thought I didn't want to leave the important data files on the Windows 10 computer now that the support's ended. So I've heard the Windows 10 computers a little bit and I'll move the files just to be safe. So we'll see what happens. We had snow last Sunday and the weather's been a little freezing most of the mornings this past week. So if fall and winter are upon us, it would appear. Actually I didn't have a replacement transformer in my furnace. It was humming to beat the band, really noisy, so I was able to get a replacement transformer on Amazon. I've been here a couple of days and I was able to get it installed very quickly. That's good.

You know Cliff I think you're the first person this year who has mentioned actual snowfall. I think you mentioned last Sunday you had snow so yes, congratulations sir. No prizes but never mind. I don't remember anyone else talking about snow unless they did with the second part with Dave these days. So well done. But good stuff and working away with networks and everything else at home and everything else. Of course the support for Windows 10. I'm no expert in this. I know Cliff that you know a fair bit more than I do that's for sure but you know I'm still hanging on to Windows 10 and indeed more recently I did sign up for that to enroll for further ongoing support for free. So security, important security updates will be available until as it's ready by the 13th, anyway the middle of October next year. So one more year of support for security updates only for Windows 10. So I'm just hanging on to my Windows 10. I've not upgraded to Windows 11. I do believe this machine would upgrade but I just haven't done it. So yes I'm kind of hanging on. But like I say I saw something a couple of weeks ago about you can enroll free of charge for security updates for another year for Windows 10. So I've done that and I don't know if that's widely known that you can do that but you can. So it just gives you an extra year to know that you're still protected from security stuff. So there we go. That's what I've done. So we'll have to wait and see. I kind of worry that maybe Windows 11 and some of the applications I use especially for amateur radio various bits and pieces might not work with Windows 11. I did remember that was something months ago when people were doing it. They said, oh well this doesn't work with Windows 11 and that doesn't work. Probably now it all does because I'm talking about maybe months ago but it's all in the back of my mind. So I thought I'll just hang on to Windows 10 as long as I can. That's the story here Cliff.

So that computer is there and I can access it remotely from other computers in the house. So actually you can control the radio from upstairs, downstairs, the laptop.

Anyway, I just enrolled with that an extra year just to give me a little bit more time before I upgrade it, so good stuff. Always backup everything. All my folders, files, everything else is all backed up to a hard drive here, sometimes even two. My applications are kind of in the quiet, I think. I'm not too sure.

Touch wood, everything's being fine just now there, Cliff. Thank you so much for this, Cinder's report and Zoomies at 4 a.m. Cliff, you just described puppy Odin. Puppy Odin's now well over 20 kilograms, and he does Zoomies kind of similar. He bounces off things. We're scared he's going to hurt himself. He obviously could break something. We're more concerned about his own welfare. I remember when we got our black lab by Zara many years ago, and we got her when she was nine months old, and she was such a calm black lab, this and that. I mean, she was always a little bit like Eeyore, just soaking her laid back and everything else. But just now and again, you'd see the eyes just open up and bulge a little, and you just knew something was giving her a little bit of a tickle. All of a sudden, she was off like a rocket running around the place and bouncing off walls. You had to grab her and hang onto her and let her calm down before she hurt herself. But otherwise, she was such a calm labrador dog. But she would do that, and it's kind of strange. It's funny when they do it, but it can be dangerous. But I think cats are different. They're really good at bouncing. So anyway, Cliff, I'll throw it back to you for any final comments. The E6 PLC.

So if you're still listening to us there, Sir Greg, you and the family have a wonderful trip to the beach. That sounds brilliant. And I think he's given us some tablets that he made from a Scottish recipe for tablets as well. So there's another fan of Scottish tablets. Thanks so much, Greg. Or sorry, Sir Greg, if you're still listening. We do call him Sir Greg because, of course, Greg and his wife, Kristy, came to Scotland a few weeks ago and visited us. And that was fantastic.

But yeah, not bad. Dogs are happy. That's the dogs doing zoomies. Wait until you get two Labradors doing zoomies through the house. With one of the cats joining in. He likes to chase the dogs and the dogs chase him back and then he chases them. And yeah, watch out anybody in the way. Things go flying that's for sure. And I think our cat thinks he's a dog.

Anyway, Bex, just one final question. You probably did see the email we sent out on the on air, I did hear Josh confirming his spot on the New Year's Eve net for 2026, coming up just in a few weeks' time. Can you believe it there, Bex? Can you believe it? And I think you did see, um, in January that you could still do that slot that you might be able to see there on the schedule. So I haven't heard from you yet, but if there is time, there is time, but do let me know if that still suits and if so, that's great. If not, can you do something else or whatever. It's entirely up to you. Just a, just a wee gentle reminder, we're putting the schedule together, so it'd be great to have you back on board. And Josh has already confirmed his spot.

And so I just kind of empty the handheld Hoover that we have here. Chamber is nice and free and I just go up and stick it up. And it goes into the chamber.

I'm hoping to work in the videos when I'm down there. The job I'll be doing is air traffic control type work. Working in Antarctica is rather a research station. Controlling the planes when they come in. We're not controlling planes, but advising the planes when they come in. But, yeah, it's got me interested in forms down in Antarctica. The last time I was down there was in 2002, doing the same job when I was in the military. Going back in 2005, completely different. It's all IP radios, IPE, traffic radio and all.

I'm going down there to work as a radio operator, like we're speaking now. Using HF, VHF, UHF, WEA, all sorts of kinds of images down there, SATCOM. To go back down there this year, 2005, 24 years after I originally went down there when I was in the military for the British Army, it's something special just to go back down there and see what's going on. It's just unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. I'm not going to take any more questions for anyone who's got anything to say.

And my Kenwood is almost as powerful, but sometimes it works and sometimes it just, uh-uh, and just resets itself. So that's one of those things that prompted me to get a new one, but I tell you, you know, after that radio has been around for at least a day, sometimes it's really nice just to get a technology update. And that's what I did. I got a technology update and still pretty happy with my SU-FT891. Doesn't have a waterfall. That's the only complaint I have about it.

But I have to say, ACUT, I can't speak for them across the pond. But this one I'm using just now, it was out of warranty. But it kind of broke up and I got in touch with them and said send it to us. And within a few days I had it back with a new case on it and everything else. It's a known fault so I think even if it's out of warranty they'll look after it.

Good evening, Graham and Helen. I've had a question I wanted to ask you. I thought that Helen and yourself had more experience or might point me in the right direction, but for the past 15 years I've lived on my sailboat and cruised around. Prior to that, my wife and I had two different houses. Anyway, I just recently moved off my sailboat, and I'm buying a different one, a smaller one, that I can cruise around on, but I don't have to live on it. So I just bought an apartment, or not bought an apartment, I rented an apartment. And there's one room in the apartment that I'm going to probably utilize. It has hard-work floors. It's about 12-feet wide and 25-foot long. And because I was on the boat, I have no furniture to move into the apartment, so I have to go out and buy or rent or whatever you do to get furniture in this one big room. And my question to you is, the theme of my room that I'm going to decorate it will probably be nautical. It'll have something to do with the sea. And also it'll have something to do with the computer electronics, which I've been doing all my life. So my question to you, if I'm trying to create a theme for this room, what would I buy? What I've done is I've traveled quite a bit, and I've got a bunch of pictures and posters I've put on around the walls. And they're different geographical places, and they have something to do with the electronics and computers and sailing and that. But if I'm buying furniture, bookcases, and what have you for this room, how would I give it a theme? Do you know, if I wanted to give it, say, a mariner theme, would I buy new curtains or couches? I'm just curious, in your opinion, if I wanted to give it a mariner-type theme or maybe a computer theme, what ideas would you have for me that I could create this room and have a mariner or computer-type theme?

Well sir, I'm going to make a tent and as far as curtains and everything else is concerned and the windows, well of course keep it kind of aqua colours, that kind of aqua blue, aqua green, maybe both, maybe a kind of mix, everything else. That keeps the kind of swish and all the rest of the water around. Put that on your windows sir. And all the bog standard stuff, the seats and the cupboards and everything else, I don't know if you can do much about that but in between them, hey listen, all the kind of floating shelves, put up a floating shelf, you know, here and there in between all the different bits and pieces of the furniture around the room, we have a floating shelf. And on the shelf you put things like a shelf, you put shelves up and maybe some kind of hanging dried seaweed perhaps and everything else. And maybe instead of a picture of the wall you could maybe have a steering wheel, do you call it a steering wheel? What do you call it? Well the wheel, the ship's wheel, you can put a ship's wheel up and everything else. I don't know, there's a few wee suggestions and I'm not too sure what else, maybe some, no that's kind of going too far. KK4BFM is that any help whatsoever there?

Graham, you did just remind me about what you said in the very beginning about, well, I don't know if cats do that. Jump around, just be laying there. All of a sudden they get a lick in their eyes and pow. Well, I got news for you, Graham. They definitely do do that, especially in their younger years. I'd be sleeping at night and they just come to life at night. So they're fraternal. So look out, man. We can hear them all night long. I don't know how Mike gets sleep, but a few times I woke up because I heard him attached to the wall in the living room. And when I went in there, they had pulled all my curtains. I just want to kill them. To be honest with you, I was like, Oh my God, I forgot how nice it is to have cats that were older and didn't move that much. They just look pretty like little statues. Trust me, they get really they can get really aggressive too. And they'll get that look too. And just all of a sudden they're they're they're everywhere. So especially when I got like five, you know, so they're basically all from the same litter. So you just never know what you're going to get into and when they're going to do it. And, you know, I the last time I took a flu shot was probably three or four years ago and it hurt. My arm hurt so bad. And I said, you know what? I've been doing this for twenty five years. I I'm not doing it anymore. And basically every time I took it, I still got the flu. So I was like, OK, you know, since I quit taking it, I really haven't gotten that sick and really done well. So don't think I need it anymore. And I don't want to go through that. My arm hurt so bad for not like a day. It was like a week and it was totally black. And I thought I've had enough. So I think I've got an immune system now for that. So I just don't do it. I'll throw it back at you, Graham. See what you got to say about those remarks. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November. Well, Jeanette, you know, when you mention about the animals doing zoomies and everything else and, you know, sometimes you do. I think you even say you just want to kill them. Of course you don't really. But I think definitely Odin is definitely kind of challenging our, I don't know, maybe our patients. And even the trainer, we'd go to puppy classes and she said, yeah, you know, especially lab indoors. She says one day you hate them. The next day you love them to bits. And it goes on and on like that. And until they go up and mature, it's just the way it is. But I think my patience is just a little bit longer than Helen's because she says that you haven't quite gone so far to say I want to kill them. I just don't like them anymore. Next day, oh, he's so gorgeous. And he's this and he's that. So, yeah, you know, these three critters, the young critters, they really do challenge us emotionally. They really do. So I can laugh when you, well, I smiled when you said that. But there we go. But, yeah, I think I'm a little bit more patient than Helen. But maybe just a little. There are times. But anyway, yeah, but back to you. I've seen you have posted up on the email window your website, all the w's.11cats.org. That's one one cats.org. But I know Jeanette will tell you more. And, yeah, there was something else I was going to say. No, this is going to wait out of my mind. Have you seen your moment there? And there we go. Jeanette, back to you, my friend.

Yeah, okay, and yeah, well here we got, we're surrounded by mountains here, east, to the east, all the way around to the north and to the west there as well. The only open we got is to the south, but they're far enough away not to affect, have no significant effect on VHF and UHF gums, which is a good thing, but they're very advantageous because normally the weather we get here comes off the Atlantic Ocean and that normally comes from the southwest or the west without prevailing winds. So the mountains actually sort of protect us quite a lot from any adverse weather, windy weather, snow, most of the snow gets deposited on the other side of the mountains. Only a little bit might get over the top every now and again, so we don't get much snow here at all. And of course being on the coast with the salt in the air, that helps as well in not getting the snow. So being on the, you might get at the very, very most, and sometimes no snow at all in the winter, we might get maybe about a quarter of an inch to half an inch. Half an inch is excessive, obviously it's more if it's drifting in the winds, but that's about all we can hope to get at this particular QTH.

I wanted to just get checked in. I turned it on when Graham was just finishing up his segment. I'll say hello to Graham if you're still listening out there. Just very briefly, I won't give you all the details, but I had that meeting yesterday with the engineer from the company that does those FM and AM broadcast station setups about using a modified version of my mount. So we came up with a whole different idea for the mount, but the meeting was incredibly interesting. And I'll have to tell you about it sometime off the net. Stuff about these transmitter antennas for commercial radio, broadcast radio, that seemed completely counterintuitive to me. Stuff I never would have dreamed of. Really, really weird. I'll leave you with this one comment. I can't give you all the details, but I just assumed broadcast radio stations used omni-directional antennas. You would think, right? Turns out that's like an exception. Every setup that this company manages, almost every one, is a directional antenna setup. And I just was blown away by that for commercial broadcast radio. And then he explained why, and it all made sense afterwards. But anyway, like I said, off the net. One of these days I'll get with you on all that.

The other station, it was Kilo Echo 2, Golf Kilo Lima. Kilo Echo 2, Golf Kilo Lima. And QTH is Lafayette, New Jersey, so there's the information for you. So, yeah, we'll have to have a longer conversation. I'll probably have a chat with you on, give you a call on the Zello channel. Is it 4.05, is it? I can't remember. Back to you, Ray.

I think you said La Cielette, New Jersey and that sounds very familiar. I just can't remember where it is compared to where I lived in Union County or Clark. Yeah, 851.405 is the ZMR channel that I usually monitor. I try to take one of the IT radios or network radios with me in the shop almost every day and sometimes I'm on the 065 also. Yeah, I knew about the directional antennas for links and stuff in the broadcast world but what I was so surprised about was the actual transmitter antenna transmitting to the public on the radio station's frequency. I thought that would always be an omni. I thought. I just assumed. I never really gave it much thought. I just pictured in my head that a commercial broadcast station would surely be transmitting off an omni antenna and he corrected me on all that and explained why. I was amazed. I was just amazed. That's just 15 degree tilt that we need to build into this mount and they're going to let me do it. They're going to let me do one for sure. They definitely want to try one of mine. It's going to be something different than what I've been doing now. We've got other ones where they had to do a 2 degree tilt for a specific reason. And when I talk to you about it, I'll tell you all about it. It was just a very interesting meeting. It was supposed to be one hour and at the one hour mark we finished up and I stood up to leave and all. And before you knew it, we were standing there talking for another hour. I ended up spending two hours with them which was great. I didn't mind at all. So a lot of interesting info. All right, I'm going to look that call sign up on QRZ in a little bit. I had just gotten in the house here when I checked in so I'm going to get out of my work clothes. And I'll be listening along. I'm going to leave this on so I can listen to the rest of the net.

Hope all is well and hello to Susan and Declan in the background if they're listening and Graham and Helen if they're still there. Hi Ray, nice to hear you as well. It's been a while. Cool cloudy day here in Southwestern Ontario. We had a few showers and the temperature right now is about 11 degrees so it's cool, about 52 degrees Fahrenheit. Going a little bit cooler tonight. We had one day of frost last week but actually a lot of my flowers are still blooming and they're still fine so I haven't taken them out yet which is great. I'll keep going and I mowed the lawn yesterday. The leaves are starting to fall but there's not much colour change. We were at the gym today for a while and enjoyed that. I've been playing around active on CW lately. Mostly US contacts but quite a few, a few into Europe. I was trying to get Echo 51 Whiskey Mike Alpha, the station in South Cook Islands that I think he's there for another day or two. I think he's almost done. I wasn't able to. I heard him and I heard him on 10 metres but it was just a zoo and I didn't get into him. Because of the density of the broadcast stations they're all pretty much directional here and they're quite directional. I did a test once on AM740 and it's amazing how the knoll is deep on one side. It was an interesting experiment.

Most over here, as I said to Ray, we now use other means rather than directional point to point links between the Harry Peters or wide area of broadcast stations on the actual broadcast side here on VHF. Yeah, everything is changing, but yeah I can understand it's just like putting up a repeater, you know, you put your syringe antennas so you get the best coverage in certain directions that you want coverage to and stuff like that. So, yeah, I said to the other station there over in New Jersey, I actually haven't even listened to HF at all this week. Shame on me. Back to you there Doug, VE3XDB to WHS. I haven't done too much HF either. I did a few hours but nothing much. We have a Slack channel in our club and one of the channels on the Slack site is DXON now. So, I watch that and see what guys are working and there are several avid DXers in our club so I watch what he's doing and sometimes I try and follow along but usually if he's getting it there's a million people trying for it and that's not my thing. I'd rather go pound the bug rather than try and work that kind of DX. The other thing that's very popular in our club here is contesting. We have some avid, avid contesters and they even have a contest within our club for contesters. So, it's not my thing. I like to do ARRL field day but that's about the only contest that I'm active in. Anyway, you have a great weekend. Nice to hear you. Nice to hear everyone and I hope all is well Dave.

Both coursework and of course a infamous Maths exam over here. There is no coursework at all. You know it's just the one exam at the end so you know you've got to really know your stuff with the actual topics, you know the subject for the coursework because you can build up your marks throughout the year or the two years throughout the whole course and just do the final exams.

So I took some image of the Pleiades, which I'd never done before because the Pleiades are way too big to fit in the field of view of the other telescope. So that looks pretty good.

No, I've got to get up, unfortunately. But we're having that kind of weather. But I actually do love the clear skies in the winter time. Very, very crystal clear and rather than, you know, the kind of skies you get overnight there in the summertime when you get the haze and all the rest of it. So, yep, the clear, crystal clear skies in the winter over here are good. But when it happens, I wish it happened actually a lot more than it actually does in reality. But, yeah, I had that problem as well in the field of the telescope. But, yeah, I wonder what you actually used for that particular photography part there, Roy. And, yes, the Andromeda Galaxy. We can get some good views of it here, as I said. But, you know, in the wintertime, as it's nice and clear. So, I'll have to go and revisit that one myself sometime. But, as I said, we get such a limited amount of clear skies here. We've got to prioritize what we're going to do. KI7PKL, GWAS, there now. This is repeating. This is repeating. Oh, yeah, the Andromeda Galaxy is just beautiful. So, anyway, I'm going to revisit that probably, I don't know, not tonight probably, but next available opportunity anyhow. Because, yes, I would like to produce a nice, big, beautiful, you know, high-res two-panel mosaic of Andromeda. That would be pretty nice. But, also, this week, I finally installed my focus motor. And we've been just having clouds and smoke and just, you know, doing everything but astronomy for about two months. And I hadn't gotten around to installing that thing yet. So, finally, a couple of days ago, I took time to install it. And, oh, that thing works great. It's the GWO EAF focus motor. And, oh, it's quiet, it's smooth, it just works really, really nice. And I'm very happy with it. And that actually completes my telescope. Now I have a complete smart telescope. And the telescope's an SB Boney 18-millimeter F6 refractor. And, you know, kind of a budget scope. I paid 610 US dollars for it. And it works very, very well. And then I have a field platinum focal reducer that's actually made for a different SB Boney telescope. But people on YouTube were saying it works well with this one. So, the regular one for this one is only, you know, just a field platinum.

You know, I've got to have one. I want to go and, you know, photograph sort of a wider star field like the Pleiades.

So, uh, anyway, I'm pretty happy with that, you know, like I was saying a couple months ago, you know, you just need longer focal lengths, shorter focal lengths, and once in a while you need wide angle.

Well, that's where back when I started. So, you know, just leave the actual telescope fixed in a position and the camera open and you got the tracks across the photographic image. I remember doing that. My father was in photography and he had a developing room and all the stuff there to develop them. So, yeah, he developed my 38 millimetre film and back then of course, they looked absolutely fantastic but compared to what you can do these days, they look rather dated to put it mildly but it was great developing your own astronomical photographs.

It's about an hour past beer o'clock. I drank a lovely pint of Demolition Ale, which is this hoppy kind of light ale that Elliott Bay makes that's got a tremendous kick to it. I drank it tonight because if I drank it tomorrow night, I have to sing Sunday morning and perform for the harp group on Sunday afternoon. So I didn't actually want to drink on Saturday night, so I had it tonight instead. Let's see. First lines. There's this thing in writing that they tell you that the first line of your manuscript should be a zinger. For example, I have a manuscript about one of my characters that starts, Welcome to Topaz. Now go soak your head, which of course is about this horribly rainy port that she steps into. Or, It felt odd to see my living room sitting on my porch. About somebody who'd been evicted from her quarters. Or, It's a deep dark secret that mothers with nerves of steel cry the hardest. Which got my manuscript read by David Steel. So the first line is very important. So this weekend's project is to get first lines for all three of the Mindbenders, Gambit, Revenge, and Triumph, those three books. Anyway, that's my project this weekend. Oh yes, and rewriting the scenes that seem to have disappeared into the dustbin of history. Anyway, that's about all the news and practicing for my harp performance on Sunday. And my other performance on Sunday. That's about it. Boring life. 73-33-88.

I get into trouble. Jack's gonna get all over me because I'm being bad. But I digress. So you get a book. And what you're supposed to do is look at the very first word and the very last word. And those two words are supposed to describe as if by magic what the book is or describe what it is all about. Where it's coming from. What it is. What it was. What it means to you. Boy, am I out there tonight. Ooh, I'm orbiting Jupiter. Anyway, Jane Cord. That's, that's, golly, how many years ago? You know, that's sort of like, how many times have I read the Lord of the Rings? I've lost count, but it's more than 400. And that doesn't count how many times I've listened to it. Christopher Lee used to, he said in an interview once a year, he read the Lord of the Rings. And I thought, well, I'm normal then. I'm okay. It's all right. Because that's my world. I'm gonna get out of here, Rebecca, cause I don't know. It's a crazy night. This is James, WQ7H.

And show up in the air who the Mariners are going to make it yet or not. I sure hope so. Let's see what happens. I'm pulling for the Dodgers and the Mariners for the World Series. You know, because either way I win. Anyway, yeah, just once we go out... I had a really good intent on it tonight, by the way. A lot of participation. It went an hour and a half and away it went. And it was a good net. A lot of good questions. And it was just a very good net. And it's good to hear everybody out here. And I see a big weather front coming right into Seattle, by the way. It looks pretty big. So hopefully it won't be too bad. But, yeah, so we're going to get some nice weather here through the weekend, which is good. I'm trying to think of what else is going on. Oh, yeah, the squirrels were all around today and running every which way and chasing each other. One of those squirrels is up in a tree barking, literally barking at the other squirrels to stay away from his area. So it's kind of funny when you hear them do that because they can kind of bark and make almost a growling sound. You say, that squirrel is doing that. Man, I didn't know they could do that. Anyway, they were having fun out there and eating all the peanuts and nuts. Anyway, good night. Glad my team won and good to hear everybody here. God, there's something else I'm trying to think about. Oh, yeah, I got this chest set today. There's these back about in the 17th century or thereabouts. A farmer was going along the coast there on the Lewis Island off of England and he found these chest sets. They were hand carved out of walrus ivory and shark's tooth. Amazingly enough, you'd think they were actually from the year 1800 and they'd been there all that time. They were hidden there for some reason. Anyway, it's really cool chest set with the way they did it. The detail on the carving is just amazing. If you get a chance, look up Lewis chest set because the pieces are just incredible.

Why Dave Niehaus was so special and Anyway tonight I got to sit on the couch with my girls my wife was over at a friend's house and the three of us just kind of took it all in and screamed our lungs out when Gino hit a grand slam it was a really kind of special memory for me I think there's a lot of folks out there in our city that Have shared memories like that of the team so it's pretty cool and just Makes me think about people that I love that aren't here anymore, so that's kind of special Okay, what else tonight so we had amazing red lentil? Curry soup for dinner my wife makes such good soups she She made this and it's like a go-to for her. Oh my word.

Toronto has two wins in the series. You need four wins to go on to the World Series. They're going back to Toronto. If the Mariners win game five, then they go to the World Series. If Toronto wins game five, then game six is next. If the Mariners win game six, then they go to the World Series. If Toronto wins, then game seven is the deciding game. Both of those will be in Toronto if they go to a game seven. The Dodgers, as Jeff mentioned earlier on the net, they clinched their World Series spot already. Whoever takes the series here will go play the Dodgers. Anyway, that's very exciting. The Mariners have never been to the World Series and I'm so excited. I got done with work and turned on the game. Megan and I watched that. Then we went out to dinner. We got some Mexican food and that was good. Now we're just kind of hanging out here at home. The doggos are laying down.

Not only were we busy with family last weekend, but I've also taken on, I'm not even going to count how many extra hours getting the new behavior training. So thankfully it is over and let me just tell you I am fried. My brain is fried, my body is fried. I don't even know what to do. We have lots of projects to work on this weekend. So many things, re-sorting things and just getting things organized. I'm never going to go there. But yeah, we had a great night having Mexican food and I had to laugh, Rebecca. I am sitting there and all of a sudden I start to freak out mid-conversation. When we were at Tour de Forest rally in Shelton a couple of weeks ago, there was a truck that was all decorated out with Halloween. So that was in Shelton. And then tonight in Renton that same truck came rolling through and I had to stop mid-conversation to take a picture of it. Because I was like, wait a second. We just saw that not too long ago.

This is repeater station Kilo 7. Yeah, oh there's two. I was just realizing I dug up both of them. Yeah, they've been actually dug up before by somebody else. I've been using that corner of the house and I guess that's long ago a dog was buried there, I think. And I know also I believe I've uncovered another site in my woodshed. Not where two cats are buried above each other, two birds in another spot. And then Karma's off toward the house, not under the woodshed. But there's another, I believe, probably a dog at about the same altitude. So I just make sure there's enough dirt. I've got the board over that now and I'm putting another one in there.

The best ones I've seen that have got my interest up are, you know, and there's a couple of them. At a glance there's a couple of them. They're not exactly what you would think they are. Let's start with Lessons Learned from Coldplay. Orion versus Safari for iOS. I prefer Firefox but if they've got something that isn't so crippled for iOS that'd be good. Detecting AI text and images. Travel disinformation. Another home address exposure concern. Oh, I love those. And Windows 10 End of Life. Also very interesting because I got a Windows 10 enough that's great. It just doesn't have the hardware. And what was the thing from the... Okay, yes, this screen... Oh yeah, there was a guy, he was trying to do the thing where he doesn't...

She's resting comfortably right now but she was up just about too long ago and needing another pain pill. And I went to go see my doctors and get all kinds of things scheduled for me. And what else did I do? Oh, I've got my new website up and running. So I took the old one down and restarted everything under a more professional looking and better system where I can get things on Google a little bit easier. Let me see. And I've been sitting here all this morning writing letters. I got in contact with a guy in Russia on here around 2 o'clock this morning. Talked to him for just a little bit over in Siberia, near Siberia on the eastern part of Russia and found some videos of his little town that he lives in. And I sent him a letter. It was really cool too, Kevin, because I figured I'd send him a letter and I'd do it in English, you know, just talking to him, kind of maybe get up a pen pal thing going or something like that. And then I translated it and sent it in Russian too. So if his English is not too good, maybe his Russian is better, right? So, yeah, I guess that's the highlights of my last 24 hours. Well, I'm basically adding to my question sheet here. Every time I take three out, I put back like six. I wish I numbered these. They're just line by line by line in my notes. And I didn't number any of them ever, but I was inspired to put new ones a little bit earlier, just because listening to the Variety show on CBC Vancouver, I was just kind of inspired of a couple of questions just regarding their phone-in shows and some of their guests. So, yeah, I'm raring to go. I got questions forever. I wish I knew how many. I think maybe two or three hundred. I'm probably lying though. But, yeah, so I got enough for nets for days and days and days on end. So, yeah, I just popped a couple of Tylenol 3s. Usually they get me hopping something insane. And luckily enough, one of my neighbors hooked me up with a Percocet. So that's always fun. I like having that in conjunction with codeine and coffee. And I just had my mini ravioli, so everything's right with the world. Or maybe wrong, depending on my high.

Yeah, I love to do it. And I found that as I listen to some of these talk shows and they talk about things and ask things all the time, I figured I got plenty of things I could gleam from instead of always using AI. So at least the human generated questions. Maybe they put on the show, it makes a few hours, and then there you go. So yep, so everything is good on that front. Yeah, I year hustled a little bit while I was in the middle of work yesterday. Because I was telling the truth. I really did have to do some stuff on the computer. But I did flicker on the net somewhere in the 6 o'clock hour, I don't remember. It was the part where Daryl was talking about his Windows and configuring different computers and Linux and all of that. Interesting.

So these are going to be hard kind of for me to just mentalize on the air. I'll be reading them every time because they're like a few liners. But one is something like, this one is interesting, does your work require you to be in your office full time? Or would you rather do your work remotely? Because that's a big issue nowadays. There's a big implementation from the Canadian government where they want people back in the office. They're basically saying this is no longer the midst of the pandemic so get up off your butt. So that's one for instance. Another one is, oh this one is hilarious. Do you have any naughty habits driving? Do you still use your phone and text? That's a big deal, at least when I was listening to CTV News in Ontario. They're really, really, really going to take down on this because they're getting a lot of distracted driving. A lot of people distracted while they drive and there are serious actions that sometimes occur. And this was inspired, hold on a minute. Let me unkey. Hold on a minute. I've got a lot of windows open. Let me unkey and then here's one more interesting one. Okay, so another one and this was inspired by somebody I know, me, who's, okay I'll read you the question. Is there any food you're ordered to avoid, like by your doctors and things, me at sweets, do you make trips and sneak in like a guilty pleasure? Like maybe in the middle of the night in the cover of darkness? Or you just take off at will, anytime you want. And you don't want anyone to know because you're not supposed to have certain sweets. So there you go. Well hey, no that's okay. That's a little spoiler of what we'll try to cover today. I have no idea. Usually I get in three, right? Like I have the little intro round and then I give people like a little take home question when it gets to the 20 to 7, 20 to the top of the hour, well 10 at the top of the hour. So that's okay, yeah. So yep, that's what I was working on. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November Quebec, November, that sounds like some good questions. Yeah, it's a food question because it's amazing how many things people are restricted on. And some things that you just can't tolerate, like for instance my wife, she cannot eat pepper. It bloats her, makes her get past gas, it gives her stomach pain. So we pretty much have to stay away from pepper, which is almost impossible in restaurants, right? Everybody uses pepper. So pepper's not on our list. So yeah, that's a good question. And the driving question is good too. No texting while driving. Sounds good to me. But my answer would be picking my nose."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T03:04:43+00:00","id":62924,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62923,"text":" See, I think I would be a bad driver, okay? And I'll never know. Not in this lifetime. And then I won't remember anyways. But I think I would be a bad driver because, see, I think of what I do when I'm walking. It really is the same if I were to drive. When I'm walking through the city, I'm basically, I got my hand in my top left shirt pocket, and I'm basically just fiddling with the keys of my phone. I mean, I don't think it's constant. Usually it's maybe putting on a station, changing the song, fast forwarding through a stream, because I don't have the patience to hear it all. I'm like that, right? Like I might, if I bring up something on YouTube, like I listen to tons of YouTube shows, right? Where some of them are quite long, even anything from 40 minutes to 2 or 3 hours. So I love hitting my advanced keys, right? Because I have no patience. And so I do find myself doodling with my phone. So I honestly pictured, I always kind of, I've moaned over the idea in my head, like if I were to drive, right? Couple of things. What I actually need, the big stereo system in it, because remember I'm deaf in one ear. So for me, I like little things. I like portables, I like headphones, I like little speakers. So the way I see it, and maybe you would know, maybe you could shed some light, because I'll never drive, so I'll never know. This would determine whether I'm always going to be busted, or I'm fine, I don't know. I don't know if you're allowed to wear headphones, first of all. But I would kind of picture if I was driving, the headphones in my ear, like I have sometimes when I walk, and then the phone in my pocket, and I'm just doodling around. That would in effect be my car stereo. And you know that's funny. My brother, when he used to drive, right? He had a while where he didn't have a car stereo. You know what he would do? If he would just bring like a boom box or a clock radio, and just plug it into the lighter, so he could play a tape, or listen to like AM FM or something. So that was like his idea of like sound or audio input. But me, I eliminate all that. And I probably just rely on my little portable. But I don't, it's safe. I don't know if that would make me the worst driver in the world or what. But I just kind of envisioned that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T03:06:34+00:00","id":62925,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62924,"text":" No, I don't know. I use in my truck, in my car, I use my speakers in my car. But my car is extremely quiet. So it's not a problem to hear things. I have audio problems with my ears. I cannot hear a lot. I got 30% loss in one ear and I'm not sure how much in the other ear. And then on top of that I have tinnitus. And it's severe, very severe. So when I'm in my truck, I do use my ear buds, my Apple ProPods. They're just little ear buds that's kicking your ear. But I use them more for cutting down the sound in the truck because my truck is extremely loud. You might even be able to hear it when I'm in my truck. But I use that and I use what do you call it, noise canceling. And it cuts down the noise. It doesn't take it away all the way. And I can still hear things like horns honking and all that kind of stuff. But then also I can listen to the lights, say, the show or our D drop in. And I can keep the volume down extremely low and still hear you guys because of the noise control. But still hear outside. So that's me now. If you had headphones on and they were really good noise canceling headphones, in fact, that wouldn't fly as a truck driver at all. Now, even technically I shouldn't have the ear buds in my ear. But I'm trying to protect my ears so it's either using the ear buds or putting plugs in my ear. And the plugs actually do worse for sound for being able to hear things around you.

That's what I do."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T03:10:59+00:00","id":62926,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62925,"text":" Yeah, and then as far as the texting, I don't do a lot of it and I can kind of write with one hand even with my phone in my pocket, which is what most people wouldn't do. They have to look at their phone, but I don't have to. And then I would prefer that they're short messages anyways. I don't want to be texting all day. So, that's just me personally. I still have the other hand. But at least I heard someone saying than you about wearing the headphones. At least I now know about wearing the headphones and at least I can kind of borrow an excuse if I ever never need it. Because this is all supposition, right? I'll never do it, right? There'll be flying pigs before I'm driving around. But at least I could say, well, you know, the noise is insane. The noise is killing me of the, yeah, the whir, whir, whir of the engines and all the rest of it. It's just obnoxious. I need to cover some of it up. And yeah, I agree with you. I don't need things super crazy loud. I usually have my, I kind of even know the level. I kind of have it somewhere. Remember, I can't see it, right? So, it's a guesstimate, right? Because phones for sighted people will show exactly the volume level. Mine doesn't tell me. I have to sort of guess. I'm going to say somewhere in the neighborhood of one and two. One, it's just but a whisper. And I can do that in dark alleys and quiet places. But maybe if I was in a truck like yours, probably two or three. Because I still want to hear my outside levels. Like if I'm talking to you, I want to hear what you're saying, right? Or especially if you call me suddenly, right? Like, hey, hey, then I want to notice that. So, I agree with the part because you said about listening to things like pin quiet. So, I like that too. But then there's also the other trick of their stereo headphones. This doesn't pertain to me because I only hear out of one ear. But I would assume somebody, if they had to suddenly pay attention, like I don't know, you're talking to a cop. Or I don't know, besides hiding them, I would just assume you take one ear butt out. And then you with your two ears, you at least have your one ear to focus. Okay, at least I know people are doing the, other people are doing the headphones thing. Yeah, and I heard there's some rules about it like they have to, I don't remember, like they have to be certain headphones. Like I guess head butts are doable. But they wouldn't be like the big over the band, over the head band, headphones literally, right? Like they wouldn't be like the big ginormous one, right? Where it's very obvious that you're tuning out. But the ear buds, you can still hear with them on them. As long as you don't have like, I guess I'll say with the thing up to ten or eleven. But, God, who can stand that? That's it. That would have to be my dad. Because I guess if he were to put his phone up to ten, it's just perfect level for him because he only has like a certain percentage of his hearing. He's old, right?

I might receive a text and it comes over on my car screen, right? And it can read out to me, but I won't send text in the car or in the truck. It's just too distracting and I wind up hurting myself or killing somebody else, right? But in truck, we are under ELB, electronic logs, okay? And so it records everything that we do while we're in the truck. When we're stopped, when we're rolling, how fast we're going, rotation, everything, right? And when you text on your phone, if you text on your phone while you're in the truck, that gives a timestamp. So if you got into an accident, the police could pull your phone records for texting and then check it, cross reference it with the ELB and see if you were texting while driving or even texting if you got into an accident.

It says, I asked the question, do phone companies keep records of your texting even after you've deleted them off your phone? And the answer is yes. And there's a, let me see here, deleted text from your phone does not erase it from existence. When you delete a text, your phone just removes your local copy. It's likely throwing away your personal receipt, not deleting the transaction from the system unless the data is overwritten. Forensic tools can often still recover it. What your carrier keeps, most cell phone carriers keep metadata, meaning who texts whom, when and how long, for months or years. When actual message content, what was said is usually not stored for long, if at all, unless you're using SMS based system, not iMessage or WhatsApp, et cetera. You see AT, well, these don't matter to you because you don't have any. ATD, Verizon, and Sprint. But law enforcement can request this information with the court order even if texts are going on the record of communication remains. So there you go. Now you know. Okay, Rogers, which is Canada, is AT&T. They use AT&T software and AT&T things. So just so you know. And I just never thought, I mean, I know things. I know things are kind of around forever on the computer and internet anyways, right? Because there's data recovery services. You know, where that pisses me off a lot of times is they can only recover so much or sometimes they can't. And then it's like you die and they recover things you don't want them to recover. So you know, that's where, that's a crazy one for me. But otherwise, I guess I kind of know that, right? Like how hell, even radio transmissions can be retrieved, especially somebody's paper. But even radio transmissions don't disappear forever. Right? You never know. Someone might be hearing this very thing right now in a serious time delay, like years from now. And they don't know why they're hearing this. So you never know, right? It's just your voice, it's not a paper trail, but a voice trail. But yeah, I know about paper trails because it's used all the time for bringing someone to the forefront for one reason or another. Usually doctors are dead, right? Because you would usually feel like, well, I'm not letting anyone search my phone or any of my stuff. But then where that would happen is if it's kind of done against your will. But yeah, I kind of knew things are never lost. Just like things you say to your Alexa or whatever, there's a log somewhere. I just never thought of it afterwards. I have a certain conversation and it's usually, in text it's usually just a glimmer, a glance, you know, just really quickie. I never thought of really revisiting it again. Usually if I need to revisit it again, I phone the person. Wow, that's all crazy stuff."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T03:23:02+00:00","id":62930,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62929,"text":" Well, since AT&T is basically your mobile carrier, metadata was stored for five to seven years. So that's a long time. But not the messages. The messages can be there for a certain amount of time. Like, for instance, mine drives about a year. Text content may be stored up to five days really longer. So if I can keep them from getting my texts for five days, then I'm good, right? It's interesting you said about radio valves. Think about it, okay? So we send out tons and tons of radio transmissions all over the world, right? And some of them will escape Earth's atmosphere, you know, sort of bounce off the atmosphere and stuff like that. And they'll travel out into space. For instance, VHF, VHF, you know, line of sight. So that's going to just keep on going forever. And a radio transmission travels at the speed of light. So you could say something on your radio today and there's a planet 100,000 light years from Earth that has a population on it and they have the capability of picking up radio signals, right? And 50,000 light years later, they'll hear what you say today. And vice versa. A planet out there somewhere in the universe could do the same thing and they're 50,000 light years from us. It would take us 50,000 light years to hear that message. Which I think is kind of cool, you know? Or this could happen. We send out a message, line of sight, and it goes all the way out to, let's say, Pluto. And it bounces off Pluto and it comes back to us. Just like moon bouncing. We could do moon bouncing. You know that, right? So it goes all the way up to Pluto and it comes all the way back. And so you're hearing your own voice. I don't want to have to find out how much time I have to get here. Hang on. I'll look at Pluto. How long will it take for a message to go there and come back? Back to you, Kevin. KB0MAI. Well, let me find out it's days and days, weeks, months, whatever. You know what? I want to find a place where I can hear the way people worked on the HF in the 40s. That would be kind of interesting. But it wouldn't even have to be that extreme. Even if I could hear, like, when I got on the radio. Like 89-ish or whatever on CB. It would be kind of cool to hear some of those things. Just because there's a lot of people that I talk to then that I don't know where they are anymore. For all I know, they could have passed away. I know definitely a lot of them did. And then, and that. So, I'd like to just hear how my 11-year-old self would have been. Everybody knew how old I was or knew that I was a kid. I told tons of lies once my voice changed. I remember my goal at that time was, man, I hope my voice changes so I can really run a hype on these people. Although, I probably didn't say it in those same ways. That's just me simplifying it now. I probably had a real long about way to say it then because I wouldn't have known how to say it like that. But anyways, it just would have been funny. Yeah, so, uh, yeah, maybe there's some place somewhere. Well, I guess it would be far, far, far away. Hey, and not only that, right, I'm talking about years back. It'd just be nice to hear dead people. Like, especially if I knew them. Or if I didn't. Like, maybe, um, yeah, maybe if we could hear like the 40s and 50s, I could hear some of the old actors that were hams and hear how they conduct themselves. Hear like how Andy Devine, the gravel voice actor, how he might have, because he was a ham, how he might have conducted himself. Just curious. Who knows, right, I might be bored out of my mind because those days, everything was... I walked through fire, and they jammed pounds of code down my throat before I got my license.

Okay, so now this is a hypothetical deal, okay? Basically, getting a usable echo off planet Pluto on VHF or UHF is basically a non-starter. Radar return power falls like 1R, a square over 4, I think I just said. Pluto's radar cross section is tiny and the free space path loss is brutal. Practical planetary radar uses big dishes and high-powered microwave bands, HICACs bands. And even then, Pluto is beyond current Earth's base radar reach. So at the time as above, a ham radio style ping wouldn't come back with a detectable signal. However, radio waves travel E equals to 199,792 kilometers per second. Earth's Pluto distance range is 28 to 58 U depending on how we're positioned with Pluto at the time. So 1 AU is 8.3 light minutes. So basically times 8.3 into 28 is 28.8 hours. So at 28 AU, it would be 7.8 hours. At 48 AU, it would be 11 hours. At 50 AU, worst case, it would be 13.9 hours. However, are you following this so far? I got one more thing, but I want to make sure you follow that back to you, KB0MAI. Oh yeah, because some of the... I've read about it, right? So that's fine, yeah. I'd hate to have to send an SOS."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-18T03:26:25+00:00","id":62932,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":62931,"text":" Yeah, I wouldn't count on an SOS. Now, if you were in Pluto and you were sending a message back here, you'd have a better chance, right? But Pluto balance would not be so good. Now, for moon, VHF, UHF, moon balance is real and routinely done by HAMS. Moon average distance is 384,400 kilometers. So round trip time, you have two times 384,400 kilometers divided by 299,792.458 kilometers. It takes 2.56 seconds. So moon average distance is 384,400 kilometers. Moon balance is basically, it only takes almost 2.5 seconds. So, interesting. Of course, it also says here that return signal strength, why Pluto is impossible, okay, it doesn't matter. There you go. Now you know the facts. Yeah, because I remember hearing some of the space work and how they have that figured out just for one way, transmissions and all that. Yeah, that's pretty crazy. Honestly, I just assume stick you up. At least I understand like Earth and even better, North America. But I don't know, either or.

Now, they have VHF and UHF, you know, that they can talk to people and also send packets through so you can connect. If you're in line of sight, you can connect to the station and send a message to them via packet email. That's kind of cool. But what a lot of people don't remember is the near Russian space station, which was up from 1986 to 2001. I just checked to make sure. I had amateur radio on board too, and they had packet radio. And you could leave that message up there and you could get a QSL car for Brescia. So you contacted the near space station. But that was a long time ago. So they were ahead of us on the ham radio side of space ham radio. Repeater station kilo, kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. So I would imagine that each time you're talking to them, if you're talking back and forth, that it's going to take that many hours. So that's pretty crazy.

You could send a packet message up there and leave a message. You have to do it fairly quickly because the ISS is traveling fairly fast. So you only have maybe a minute to get it all done. Same thing with the New York Space Station. But you can get it done and it's pretty almost real time. So close. Yeah, I like hearing the kids at some of the schools and some of the goofy stuff they ask. It's kind of cute. Always wanted to know, how do you go to the bathroom that well? There's no gravity. So I always want to know that. One of the things I always remember. Then I would hear some of those sessions in a couple of ways. CBC that afternoon would sometimes bring some of those to us.

And then again, could you really have both bodies floating or would you have to strap them to the wall and then the other one would have to hold on to each other for the privilege of that act, you know? So because just like I said before, it's rusting because momentum, momentum would build up speed and speed would wind up, it's fighting against the wall, you know? Not to mention gravity, right? And in essence, I mean, our planet turns at 24,000 miles an hour, right? And what keeps this planet on the ground and stuff instead of flinging us off the planet is gravity, right? But when you're in space, you're almost at zero G and that son of a gun, that thing is traveling at 17,000 miles an hour, you know, the ISS. And that'd be more, it's close to that, I'll have to check. Well, there's no gravity plates on there, there's no artificial gravity, I don't believe they have anything like that on there, right? So what keeps you, I mean, I know you're with the inertia, but still, really, technically, as that thing is flying at 17,000 miles an hour, I still think you should go splat against the wall. I mean, it'd be a tremendous splat. I mean, it'd be just, it'd be, it'd be liquid, right? You know, if you were in your seat, which that's, I get it, they're in their seats, they're buckled up, they travel up to the space station, they match the speed of the, of the ISS. So, and then they're taking off harnesses and everything else. So they would be complimentary to the speed of the ship, to the ISS and to themselves, so they wouldn't go splat. But if you were inside the ISS, it was still, and you weren't hooked up to anything and it goes zero to 1,700 miles an hour in one second, you would be liquefied. Well, yeah, well, I'll tell you what, I guess for extra points, if you can actually accumulate some of the women from one of our planets, hey, that's great.
