Like it was like Virgil all day, it was Jeanette all day, you know, talking about this and that, from birds to rat, or I'm sorry, cats. And once we kind of threw them off the bus, it was like there's like nobody here. And then, yeah, and so, you know, then when it's not that interesting for the others, they're not here either. So that was a lot of it. So we gotta, like I know Grey talks about losing people and stuff, we gotta just regroup and grow a new kind of popularity and just say at them, right? Because they went over to 20 rats, you know, and they're building their nest. So yeah, looks like we gotta do the same again.

I don't know much about what happened before then. I remember getting on here 10 or 15 years ago, over a decade ago, and it was so crowded I couldn't get on at all. So I kind of just, okay, I'm not going to do this. But I periodically checked in once in a while just to see what was going on. But that old gang, everybody used to be here. I don't know anything about it, so I guess I don't miss it, right? But 20 rats, I like that one. But the 11 cats, what? Is that when everybody, that guy kind of shut down everything? They started up 11 cats or something? No, they just wanted to have their 10-4 good buddy club. And so they needed a place for that. I mean, we realize that now, right? But as it was kind of coming up, like in the past few years, it was like just a lot more of them, right? And the thing is, we need a lot more of us, right? So that's what it's kind of been. Now, when this was around in 2010, I really don't remember the group or the crowd then. So I can't comment, like let's say on the old gang, that's more Bill can give you insight on that. Like as he stayed and stuck. Because in 2010, I knew about the morning net, but honestly, at that time, I wasn't much into the whole we're going to call you again, and then we're going to call you again. Because I was always multitasking. And one of my friends who I was tight with at the time from the UK, well actually, he lived in upon time, U-Pon time Scotland, he told me he always got on here, right? So there was a while where I went on here because of him. I would ride along with him, we would be hanging out peer to peer, note to note. And he'd say, how would you like to talk to the Dew Drop fellas, right? And so when I used to hang out there in the morning at that, I used to kind of be like, okay, if that's what he's doing, I'll roll with him. But I kind of wish we could get out of that and then just kind of just hang. But I knew he didn't like there's no way I'm going to be interesting 20-4-7. So he wouldn't have rolled with me one on one full time. So, but what was that like? Probably like there was a while, shortly, I don't know which years, right? But there was a lot of years during the 20 teens that I just abandoned the hobby. And then I sort of came back in and sauntered back in at some point in the middle of the pandemic because we were sheltered. And then I started to get back in the groove. I had to kind of get a reviewer on some, you know, how some of the links work, how Echo Link kind of works, you know, and all the rest of it. And it was all these new people. And yeah, it was like the 10-4 Good Buddy Network when I came in here. Everybody had Southern accent. For real, I mean, I'm not trying to remold or refact things. That's just for real love. Everybody was like, hey, how you doing there in Canada, good to hear you again. Oh, thanks. All right over here. It was like all those voices all day and night. And that's kind of what made the network work for real. I mean, if it was someone else, I tell you, but it was, it was all them hillbillies. They made the network for real."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-26T02:43:16+00:00","id":69027,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69026,"text":" I don't know. I checked in once in a while. When was it? Like in 2022, 2023, something like that. And it seemed like there was just net after net after net after net. And they couldn't do too much roundtable stuff. It seemed like it was a one and done situation. And at that time, they had all kinds of different links for DMR and I don't know if it had all-star, but I knew it DMR and it had fusion and all that kind of stuff. And it was just absolutely horrible. You could never get in and it was always or it would never connect properly and they couldn't hear you or this, that, and the other. It was dreadful. And I just I was bored one night. I downloaded Echolink again and there you guys were and I thought, oh, okay, this sounds much better than what it used to be. And that is for people. I mean, yeah, it'd be nice to have more at night, but it's not a necessity to me. I can wait until four or five in the morning before anybody's on there. I do all kinds of other stuff while I'm on the road anyways. But, you know, really the group, I mean, I'd like to see more people get in the group, but I'm kind of mixed, Kevin. I really am. I'm unsure if I would, you know, could really change the diet. I'm not awake yet. I might give that one up right now. It changed the concept of, if you had, let's say 60 or 70 people on Ddrop End every morning, and you just, you get one round and that's it. And I don't think I'd like that very much, to be honest with you. You know, the whole purpose to me of Ddrop is getting to know new people and having conversations and developing relationships. It's not a one and done situation to me. If it was like that, I could, I'd rather go to another, like I do, I go to the Bell Room and a few other places and I talk to individuals that I've known for years and, you know, that kind of thing. And it just, I'd go do that instead if it really got that bad. So, I don't know if we should really be wishing for a lot more people on Ddrop."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-26T02:49:00+00:00","id":69028,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69027,"text":" Yeah, it's got to be balanced out and I like the same things you like, right? Because if you know this, like I'll spend a few hours here and then I get my fix. I'm done, right? Whether it's 40 minutes or more than that. Usually after that I go on, I read, I do my school work. I might as well call it, I might as well act like I'm going to school because I work for school and I listen to my music, I have my own radio shows that I like, I'm lamping to that and when I see it, it's pretty much the way it should be for most people. A lot of people have a little skit for a while and then they keep it moving. So if that's what you like, if you're down with that, I'm certainly down with that. It also means that I'll still come back and see if anyone's around. Yeah, good convo and the net, this net acts like it gives a shit about you and yeah, you're really accomplishing miles because I'll tell you, yesterday's event sucked. I ain't even talked about it. I like the camaraderie and that was about it but the event was whack, yo. I got to tell you about it and I'll repeat it for the net. So when I stopped the net yesterday, right, the guy was already at my door. Like I thought he would be late because he's always late, right. So I'm trying to sign with the net and my dad's screaming upstairs, yo, the door, the door, the door. I'm like shit, I'll and so then I rushed, right. Like I just signed with you guys and then I made a mad gash, I rushed, right, to get the guy, right. I didn't want him to go away. I told him to wait 10 minutes because I still wasn't quite ready and I ended up forgetting my cane. I got to tell you that. That's funny too. He made an improvised cane for me out of like the mini antennas that he had brought along. So here I am, I'm like when we're in the park, I'm toting this antenna around like it's my staff. It was big enough to be a staff. So yeah, once we got there, it was cold as hell, it was rainy, right. So I kind of sensed they wouldn't stay forever and they didn't. They were supposed to stay six hours, right, until about one or two in the afternoon. It might have been like 11 or 12 that we left. So we spent like maybe three hours on it. We might have contacted two stations, right, where they threw their call and we said you're 5-9 and I even don't remember the coordination. The ones that the guys that I was with gave weren't even right. Like they said, because they were VE-2 guys, right. And they said you're 5-9-0-4, which isn't even Vancouver. Vancouver is like 0-3. So the bands were sucky and part of it is because these guys only had five watts. They had a very compromising antenna like this fish pole looking thing draped on the trees. So they weren't getting out worth a squat and everyone was pretty much walking us because they had a billion watts because you know people lie. You know they're using power. I mean when they're coming over 20 over and they're in Spain or something and the conditions aren't that good, you know niggas lie. So that was the deal there. So I probably made one contact in like the three, four hours I was there and then it started pissing rain so the guys packed it in. So that was basically antenna day. I spent a lot of it like bored so I was kind of messing with my phone and then just kind of half paying attention to them. I had my roommate Gabby on and I was just kind of whispering to her and we were just kind of bullshitting while that was going on and then at some point I was like listening to my music and stuff. So there you go. You got a little bit of an exclusive and at some point I'll repeat it probably a few times because you know nobody gets on today so I better just pretend that today's practice is on this day. And then tomorrow I might have an earful to give Gray on that one little bit that I plan to do when I leave."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-26T02:50:00+00:00","id":69029,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69028,"text":" Sounds like it was dreadful. That's the problem with events. You never know what's going to happen. It's kind of a weird time of year to have something like that, especially up north. I mean, down here it would be okay probably, but up there in the seasons, you never know what you're going to get up there, that's for sure. So I'm sorry you had not all that great of a time. I like the cane using an antenna for a walking stick to know where you're going. That's funny. I was kind of picturing you with a 40 meter vertical antenna or something like that. Oh, oh God. Oh no. Man, Bentley is on the air. What are we going to do? How are we going to get rid of this guy? Bentley, good morning. Hope you're doing well. Good morning guys. I'm alive.

But it's always a pleasure to hear you. I'll tell you that. I'm doing fine. It's been a mellow morning. I was working. I got rid of that website. I didn't like the way it was going. And so I got rid of that and I said, okay, I'm just going to focus on these two other things instead that I do. I was thinking it would be too much work and, you know, even for me. But I did that. You've got a refund. I lost 20 bucks, but, you know, that's not bad for experimenting on something. But just hanging around the house today, the grand film's over. I had a little bit of a fight here just a second ago. I was, went up to get myself an egg sandwich. That's my breakfast this morning. Cold omelet with sourdough bread and mayonnaise. I know how to eat. But I checked into my grandson's room and he wasn't there. And my wife, she was sleeping out on the couch. She hasn't been doing too good. She needs to stay in the upright position. You got a nice, lazy boy out there, right? And he wasn't out there. I started panicking. Where the hell did my grandson go? I went back into my bedroom and there he was sleeping on my side of the bed. The nerve of that guy. You know what I mean? Just because he's my grandson, he thinks he can sleep on my side of the bed. This is reputation. Let's get him for a second. I've lost my grandson. Where the hell is he? Over you go. Located in Shelton, Washington. That would be kind of scary. Yeah, definitely very scary. Yeah, the boogeyman kidnapped him. But anyways, what do you call it? It wasn't like I would do it again, right? It was a chance to kind of bullshit with a few people. It was just kind of sloppy in the beginning. That's all. I mean, I'm not mad. We surpassed it. First, when the nigga came, usually I want people to call me to tell me they're on the way, right? He never called. So, like if he would have called two or three minutes, like he came early, right? And I'm not mad about that. But if he would have called and said, I'm on your way, I'll be there in two or three minutes, I would have told maybe Gray or Bill, since they was there, to maybe, could you please help me wrap this up? I really got to go. The guy's at my door. He didn't do that, right? So then all of a sudden, bing bong. And you know, if I'm on the air and I'm in the middle of shit, I'm going to ignore everything else around me. It doesn't work with dad. He's screaming, screaming, wanting attention. I'm trying to tell him to shut up. I'll get to it when I get to it. Everything I do is a process, shut up, or I'll beat you. Right? It was kind of like that, right? And you know, I'm not going to do that, but I'm just saying, if I'm, I have a process to do shit and somebody who interrupts that dies. So then finally, okay, so we hustle off the air. I'm forgetting shit, but I finally leave the crib. And then the only other thing that kind of bothered me, it's not the guy's problem. He's got a mini coupe, right? You know, because that's how he wants to roll. That's no car for a fat person, right? I'm little and fat, right? Like it's small enough to me, but I'm fat, right? So I'm almost coming through the ceiling and shit like that. And so, and then I get like, um, um, I get like desperately carsick, right? Cause you know, blind people get mad carsick. It doesn't happen to sighted niggas, but blind people get crazy carsick, right? So, oh, yeah, they're connected, but it's five in the morning. Okay. So they get their time. So they get connected, right? I was advised to just kind of chill on, on the words in my texts and the headphones here, but, uh, so that lets me know someone's always monitoring, but anyway, it's okay. It's like, what, I don't know that we on the air fool. So anyways, um, so the car's max small, right? And I get really carsick. So I'm trying to keep my head drooped on my chest. So I don't throw up. I got the windows full blast. It's not even the thing to be because it's windy outside. I'm trying to expose myself to the wind cause I'm mad sick, right? And this fool steadily talking to me, talking to me about this and that everything from this and that. And I'm, I don't mind talking to him, but I'm really just thinking, could you like to shut up? I mean, I'm trying to zone out here so I don't puke all over the place. And so finally we're there. And then I don't know though. The ride back was a little smooth, I guess. I guess he kind of tired himself out. So he said a few things, but he wasn't chatty Kathy this time. So on the way back, it was peaceful. I was in a better mood. So I stopped by pizza pizza. I grabbed a little something to take home. And so that was that, but yeah, many groups. And Honda of course, are definitely no friends to fat people like myself. I'm not going to lie, right? I got some pounds, right? I'm like five four, but I'm almost like two 60. So I was uncomfortable. It was like a sardine can in this nigga ride. Okay.

So Kevin, do you ever do the field days up in Canada? They're during the middle of the summer and they'd probably be more pleasant. Oh yeah, word is foreign. I definitely do it and it is kind of a little bit unpleasant because it's usually sticky weather but I don't mind. I was on the last one. I was in Toronto at the time and the same guy took me, right? Just like how he came to Vancouver. He goes everywhere, right? This guy goes to Dayton. He goes everywhere chasing after hams. But yeah, we had field day in July. I mean I spent probably a few nets talking about it and it was okay, right? They picked me up later that day. I liked it because I didn't want to sleep on it because they had people sleeping on the site at the park. They rented this big wooded area at this Yoxie Club near the Starble Bluffs and they had control of the whole park like they sort of did yesterday at Campbell Valley Park, right? Campbell Valley Regional Park, right? In Langley. Except that was more like a forest. So yeah, they had access to this big park. They had radios galore. They had tents. I'm trying to remember. I think we were at Fort Gulf or something. All of us were. I think you had to identify even the tent. There was like this whole thing that you said. Yeah, I told people about it. It was alright. Something that I did yesterday that I didn't do on that day, field day. I started to tell the fellas yesterday that I'm going to eventually cut it off and probably bust a cab and leave. That won't interfere. I didn't want to interfere with the guy that drove me, to have him drive me back early. I didn't want to pull this whole, take me home. I want to go home. Take me home. I didn't want to do that to them, right? I was like, I bought my cash and a few other things and my expense passes that I use for the taxi. I was all amped to leave early. But it was so funny because so were they. The guy just said, well wait for us. We'll be out of here in like 30 minutes. I said, alright. But on that hot day on field day, I didn't really quite do that. I didn't think about it because we didn't stay that long either. I'm feeling like six hours at some of these are a little bit much. Probably do half of that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-26T03:01:18+00:00","id":69033,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69032,"text":" Yeah, six hours is a long time. I know I hit the, you know, I have a lot of things I feel but probably about three years ago and it's a local club here in Blue Springs and I thought they were going to be at the hospital and the hospital was always a great place. They'd set up a tent outside and they'd have generators and solar panels and several radios and what was nice is you could go inside the building and it's still cooled off and get some air conditioning on you and they had nice bathrooms and stuff like that. And for some reason the club broke up and they decided, this last time I went it was out in the country out near Concordia which was about 50 miles away. You know, that's not a local club anymore for me, right? And it was a guy's house, a farm, and he had all kinds of construction equipment out there, old stuff that doesn't even work anymore. And it was kind of cool because we used, you know, a crane, an old 1950s crane, he had it out there and the mass stuck up about 40 or 50 feet up in the air and it was right next to his barn and we used that crane as the tower to put up our dipole antennas and stuff like that. But it was, you know, a small group of guys and it was okay but it was hot as hell and there was no restroom and there was no relief in the heat. Down here at that time it was like about 100 degrees outside even in the evening so it was not that great and I decided not to go back. So, as a matter of fact, field days in general around the Kansas City area you could find like 30 of them. Every club would have one and now there's maybe four altogether. So it's really changed over the years."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-26T03:03:04+00:00","id":69034,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69033,"text":" Oh yeah, it has.

It was already fully charged by maybe 630 when I was in the middle of the net. And so when I got back at... It still was somewhere close to 1. So it was pretty much 6 hours. Only we spent maybe the last hour and a half packing up. Anyways, when I finally left and got back to the house my phone was at 26%. So, and through the day... I did little battery saving things. I wasn't... it wasn't idle. Right? Parts of the day it was playing a radio station. And at some point it was just playing... I had an audio book that was kind of going through so sort of playing that. But even as that was going on I dimmed the screen and it has a safety feature where it just goes to sleep. So I enabled that. And I saw my data usage... it wasn't terrible. But it wouldn't be something I want to do all the time because I only have 3 gigs. So just for that I used about 300. But that's peanuts because I go out every day. Right? I'm going out later. I'm going out tomorrow. I go out every day. So probably later when I go out I'll probably bust like another 50 megs.

Yeah, this power bank that I have, I got this from my company. This is repeater station kilo-kilo-7 November-November. And I said 10,000 milliamps. And it's not too heavy, Kevin. Maybe a third of a pound. And what I like about it is it has three individual power cables attached to it that are built in. So I got USB-C, and I got the Apple one, and then I got the \u2013 what the hell is this? I'm not sure. I think \u2013 I'm not sure what kind of plug-in this last one is. I think it's regular USB, but it's weird how they got it made up. No, it's not USB. So it doesn't matter. I got the USB-C. That's not USB. I got the USB-C. That's all I care about, really.

I probably won't back today, but I plan to go to the Metropolis Mall before the week's up. I'll go every day. So I'll step into one of the phone stores and I'll rectify that.

I'll be worried if it's not talking to me. So yeah, I would probably use it for the crucial point. But I wouldn't need it fully though. Even if it was 30 percent and I could knock it back, as I say again, to 50, I'd be okay with that. Because it would be better than what I had before or just now.

So yup, at some point, at some point, hold the mustard. We'll check it out. I hadn't heard she had passed. Now that sucks.

You could probably, I bet you could listen to the story itself and you could get a lot out of it but it always fascinated me since then on the Amish community.

So where, if you could snap your fingers now, where would you be apart, you know, away from the gray of where you are today, or maybe you're already in paradise, and that's where you want to be, whether it's gray or not. So just if you had a chance, there doesn't have to be a vacation, could be a place that you'd want to live, just where would you rather be on a day that's maybe a bit dreary like today for many of us.

It's something psychological or something So when you get a dark dreary day, I like being inside To be curled up on the couch with some snacks and a blanket and have the TV on and just relaxing As far as going anyplace if if that was the case My escape is just being out and about and doing my explorations out in the desert or something You know, I grew up on a farm and we were you know miles from anybody so that solitude out there I really enjoy not hearing traffic Car horns people yelling and screaming Just being out and away and that's what I really like about out there exploring as you're out there where nobody is And it's just dead quiet. So Yeah, that's my piece especially after working, you know 40 some years and with the public I I never I'd be honest with you. I like being out in the way. So that's my escape.

And that would be something you might do indoors, you know, on a dreary day. But sometimes you just want to be somewhere else, right? But you have pointed out an interesting paradox. And this is fascinating. Being inside and able to relax in a dreary environment is certainly a pleasure at times. But it's harder to do when you're in a really nice place. Feels like you have to get outside. So that's an interesting paradox. But on the other hand, where you are, and we know you like to do this, just getting out and exploring in your area in those quiet spaces and magnificent beauty. And then just Las Vegas in the desert area has a lot of that. So you have a lot of things going on there that you can do. So that's great.

So, Arthur, if you're interested in warmer weather, you can become one of the snowbirds and come on down. I know there's a lot of snowbirds that come in this month and next month, and the weather explains why. The only other thing I have to say is yesterday was the usual Saturday game group where we start with dinner at 3.30, and then after that conversation, we transition over into Mexican train, which is a dominoes game. So I did that yesterday. It takes me about 25 minutes to go from the senior living facility where I now live over to the Gulf Canyon area where the other five of the group of six live. We had Mexican taco meat, not in tacos, but Mexican taco meat, and Texas toast with garlic on it and apple pie with ice cream. I normally don't do desserts, but it looks so good. That apple pie just jumped into my throat and went down. The good news is this morning my blood sugars were not elevated, so I guess I didn't eat too much, and I did have one spoon of ice cream to go with it. So it was a good evening, and I got home about 10 o'clock and crashed by 10-0-1. With that, I'm going to turn the net back to you, Barbara, wishing well for your family, your father and Grandma Clarice, and just know that I'm saying a prayer for your entire family, okay?

To answer the question of the day really quick, I think if it's a dreary day I'd rather be with family and you know that's an interesting way to put it because my family is all over the place but probably with my wife by my side and visiting my son. My son lives in the Bahamas, he works down there and the wife and I have visited him quite frequently but it's not about the place so much as it is about being with family. Down here in South Georgia we finally hit our fall weather so it's 71 probably climbed to 78 today and if it stays cloud cast like it is now with no rain I'll probably go outside and poke around and see if I can get something accomplished.

It's challenging when your family's scattered all over the place. I'm kind of lucky that most of my family's here in the Pacific Northwest and that I chose to return after 23 years away. I returned in 2007, and so we're kind of back together. But yeah, it's challenging when you're spread out, and it's good to be able to see those family members who aren't very close to you geographically. So good deal. Hey, thanks so much, and I hope you get to accomplish something, whatever you feel you want to, out there today, and have a great day. All right, we're going to leave Georgia.

I couldn't believe it. I think it was 40 or 50 mile an hour gusts that most of the day were just regular good wind and rain. So, I don't know. I just, if I had my choice, I would probably head for Hawaii. It's kind of amazing. There's a lot of people here in Oregon. They will go to Hawaii in July and August. No. When Linda and Lou and I went 20 years ago, we went in January and February. It was nice to leave here and go down there for a week or two and have some 80 degree days. That was really something. But I don't know why myself. I guess everybody's got their thing, but I would not leave Oregon in July or August to go to Hawaii. That's just my view on it. Anyway, good luck to everybody. Troy and I are going to go to the pancake house that I'll be going to here in a couple months to hand out my candy canes as Santa Claus. KV7PVW, back to you. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7 November. KV7PVW. I don't understand that either. Why would you leave Oregon to go to Hawaii in July or August? No. Anyway, grandma and I ordinarily have been going there in December for the Pearl Harbor commemoration. And she, along with the other Rosies, who go get honors, as well as the World War II veterans, of course. But I don't think we'll make it this year given the recent Europe trip. I think we're kind of tapped out, both in terms of energy and finances, because of that trip. But Hawaii would be a pleasure to go to this time of year for sure. Well, I hope you and Troy have a great time at the pancake house. And I'm glad our wild weather has died down. I see bits and pieces of tree all over the place from the winds yesterday. We were going to go out to a restaurant in the evening, grandma and I, but it was still too wild out there. So it should be dying down today. All right, well thank you so much for your check-in. Santa, Mel, and have a great rest of your day. Well folks, this is the end of this first round. And I'm going to put out another call too for any of our net controls if you can come in. If you're able to take it at 8. Otherwise I'm going to have to close the net promptly at 8 so we can hit the road.

I've been playing a game, an internet game and that's what I'm doing. I get free time right about this time. That's part of it and I'm just kidding, I'm getting up and feeding the dog and just getting busy. But I was just thinking about you guys but I logged down late. I think I heard your father was ill. I don't know what was going on but you have my sympathy there, wherever it is. So that's about it. Where would I snap my fingers? You know there's actually two places I would go back. New Zealand is one. I wouldn't want to fly. If I could snap my fingers and just pop over there, that would be wonderful. Because it's beautiful and I loved my trip over to New Zealand. I would go back there in a heartbeat. It's just beautiful country. People are nice. It's just a nice place to go. The airplane ride was just horrendous. Get over there. It's just too far. The other place I would go, I think it was called the Monolani Resort in Hawaii. I would go to the resort. The land is horrible. It's all just lava. There's nothing there but lava. But I loved the resort. Then they had this thing where they had bicycles. I could ride the bicycles over to this other health club place that was nearby. There was a pool and there was palm trees around it and it was salt water. It was just beautiful. Every morning I would pedal over there and swim. It was just wonderful. Then I was with a group and we had all kinds of activities at the resort. It was wonderful. So that's probably where I would go. I don't go many places. My back is out. In 2019 it went out and now it's out again. I'm waiting on the spine clinic to call me back. When you get, I retired. Before I retired I fell. I hurt my back at work. Then it just got, you know, it just got one thing after another. Then there was COVID. COVID killed one trip. I was supposed to be on a cruise on the Pacific Coast. I paid cruise right during COVID time. We almost went and I would have been stuck in the ocean right during COVID. Not be able to come back in. It's just one thing after another. So now I just stay home. That's what I do. I stay home. But if I had to dream it would be New Zealand and Monolani Resort. Anyway, I'm going to give this back to you and I hope everything is well with you and your family. KG6WKO exit 73. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November- KG6WKO this is KI7BR and you're going to be the last person I check in. Thank you so much Joe for checking in the rest of the group. But before I go, yeah, New Zealand. That's one place that's definitely on my list. It's so beautiful from what I've seen. But it certainly would be nice to be able to snap your fingers and just be there. I hope the spine clinic closes soon. It's miserable having to wait on that. But man, don't even get- COVID trips. Man, I had so much racked up. Graham and I were going to go to New Orleans. I was going to visit old friends in Chicago. It was a real travel year and all of it went bye-bye. And hasn't returned. I was in New Orleans for a short trip. But that's about it. But yeah, hey, thank you so much for your check in. A pleasure to hear from you Kathy. A real treat. So thanks for that and come on in a little more often when you're able. Well folks, I'm going to turn over the rest of this round to KK7Z. It's been a pleasure hosting you today.

Oh yeah, I've got to remind Eve to file an insurance claim to try and get our money back. But yeah, I would be in Maryland if I could because I love Maryland.

Thank you, that was a nice, orderly bunch. 15 check-ins in the log so far. Our question of the week is, it's gonna be, I guess, two things. Today is, yesterday and today is the worldwide DX contest, and I'm a rookie there. Gonna be three years in January as a ham. Only one year on HF though. I just got my HF license back there in April 24th. Didn't get on HF until June or July there. So there's two things happening right now. A lot of my friends have closed off their cottages, or closing off the cottages, and the campsites and stuff like that. And I've been told that this is the time that they actually get on the radio to the winter months. So I guess my question is, are you a person that does more radio in the winter, or do you do radio in the summer, or do you do radio all the time? And the other question is, do you do any contesting? I know it's not for everyone. I tried it this weekend, and got over 300 in the log in 50-something countries, or something like that, so it was pretty fun. Fast paced though, fast paced. So that's my question of the week, folks. Are you ready to have some radio fun at the season's closing, or do you do it all the year, or do you do any contesting? So that's where we're at. We're gonna take a check in from across the Atlantic though, before we get started here. Across the Atlantic, the UK.

So I can sit there and hunt distant countries on FT8, quiet as a mouse right there, having a full conversation with her and clicking on every now and then and looking for a spot I hadn't gone to. So yeah, radio is something else. And I'm even in CW Ops right now trying to get my CW stuff. But it's all about how you do it and the time. One more question before you go.

Just recently got my Canadian license reissued. It was first licensed back in, I think it was 1978, so it's been a while. Did do some contracting back then, but haven't tried any recently. And radio tends to be a winter sport for some of it because of HF. But for 2 meters and EMR and all that stuff, that's year round. DA4KR, back to you, Nick. Thank you, thank you, Ken. And that's what I was getting to. There are a lot of folks in my club and stuff, and here to see Valley Amateur Radio Club, and a lot of people travel. I don't know how that's going to be going here in the near future with just the mix up of all the traveling and stuff like that. But I do know that most of the folks here, especially in the Ottawa area, my friends most have cottages or RVs. So they tend to be going all summer. They might hit a local net if the repeaters have Echolink or All-Star nodes, like ours has here in Cornwall. So we do get a lot of people that are in Manitoba and different places. Even when I was in the states of Louisiana, I was able to check into our Monday night net there. And a lot of people told me, well, it's getting wintertime, so I'll be more in the house. So I'm going to be on the radio a lot more. So that's why I was asking that question. Thank you so much, Ken, and thanks for sharing that.

Didn't get a chance this weekend to do much contesting. Couple of contests Friday night. I like doing it, but more of just for fun. Downloaded a couple of different logging softwares and submitted some logs. If you've ever submitted a log that's got more than, you know, contacts on it, not trying to win any awards, just to kind of say I did it and try it out and kind of learn. And eventually, maybe one day I will. So I'm trying to get a little bit of experience. And at this point, just really just kind of taking the time to just enjoy it when I can. So, yeah, nothing serious here, but, you know, if you don't do it, you won't, right? So hardest thing they say once you get your license is actually get on the radio and talk. So just trying to make those efforts. All right. You have a great day as well as everybody else. VE4 and OL. Back to Matt. Nolan, thank you so much for sharing that. And those are big words of wisdom. I hear people saying all the time, oh, the repeaters are dead in my area. I'm always calling out. I call out so much that people feel sorry for me, literally. I call out when I'm driving to Ottawa. I'm from Cornwall. It's about an hour drive. I'm calling on a national calling frequency, calling on the local repeaters here in my Cornwall.

And then I catch them, right? And then it's a 30, 40-minute conversation. Thank you, Nolan, for being out there. You have a good rest of your Sunday there. I guess what my question should have been is about those Js. I don't even watch any sports at all. I hear those Blue Jays are doing pretty good there. I guess they won something or going to a big game or something like that. If I was a sports person, I would have talked about that, but I'm not. All right.

We're going to bring it to the top and pick it up with our friend Bill there. And the question of the week, it's twofold. Have you ever done any contesting or do you like to do contesting? I was asking that because I was dipping my toe into the DX worldwide contest that's going on the last two days here. Also, a lot of my friends have been making me wait for the fall time to get on the radio because they all do \u2013 they travel. They travel a lot during the summertime, cottages and all that stuff like that. And they say, okay, yeah, the fall is coming so we're going to get on the radio. So I wonder, my question for everyone is do you do radio all the time or just in the fall? And do you do any contesting? Back up to you there. Kilo thinks Papa kicks the lady. This is repeater station Kilo. Okay, I can say that I do not contest except \u2013 okay, there's an exception there. When I hear stations that are needing points, I give them points. And that's what I usually get. And really it's a good time to test your rig. So you'll find out what your antennas will do and your rig and everything else. And I generally, because it's so hot in my ham shack up here in the summertime, I usually do it during the cooler times of the year. And basically that's what I say about that. And so, yeah, I just received in the shipment a Yesu FT5DR. And I'm going to be working on that today, programming that. And that's a Fusion Radio. So anyway, because I have an FT1 and I don't like it, so I'm going with the FT5. So basically that's what I say about that. And I've got a question to ask you all that just came out of the paper.

VA3EWV up there in Ontario Province, some place I haven\u00edt visited in quite some time. Once upon a time I lived in Rochester, New York but that was many years ago. Here\u00eds Casey Fours at YC, Howard and Orlando, Florida coming to you live at All Star. Do you want to do any contesting? Well, other than Field Day, unfortunately not. I live in an antenna restricted apartment and it\u00eds like a Faraday cage here with all the noise from Wi-Fi and LED lights and not only that I face the pool so it\u00eds kind of like a brick wall and I can get into the repeaters here for my apartment. As it stands, repeaters here locally are very, very quiet other than maybe some activity on a 440 machine that\u00eds strictly Spanish and we have a large Puerto Rican community here so some of them are hams and that\u00eds typically where they hang out. They like to hang out on their local UHF box there but like I said everything else is fairly quiet unfortunately. There are a couple of repeaters that I do monitor here. One serves the Disney area and I just have an HT parked on that one because I never know what I\u00edm going to hear. Sometimes I get lucky and talk to someone who\u00eds visiting from out of town and we have another UHF repeater that is down by the county convention center that serves what they call the tourist corridor or international drive and sometimes I\u00edll hear people from out of town on there and I talk with a gentleman who was visiting from Ireland not too long ago and even worked among Simplex too because we\u00edre so close. But anyway, good to hear everybody out there and I\u00edm in the process of packing. We\u00edll be moving a couple of hours north of here to Gainesville. I\u00edve got a new job and I\u00edm looking forward to that so I\u00edm preparing for my move as we speak here. So 7-3, have yourself a great day and look forward to checking again sometime.

Just on my way up to my repeater right now, I'm going to meet some folks and do some tech talk and figure out a few things. Other than that, just been kind of running around doing a whole bunch of stuff today. Do I contest? I have in the past. I haven't been doing any contesting in a while. Most of my activity is probably here in the mobile or on my portables at home. Last year we bought a new house and it's not exactly conducive to ham radio, although I could probably do something. I just chose not to, so most of my gear is still in the boxes and whatnot at this point, except for my mobile and portables. I have those strewn around. So this is mostly what I do is get on the repeaters and make noise that way. As far as activity goes, I'm active whenever. I've kind of been off the air for a while. I've had a little bit of a hiatus. The lack of activity and everything around just kind of sours the mood a bit. But for the last maybe six months, eight months or so, I've been trying to get back into it and get more active and get on things. I have my repeater hooked on All Star here. I have my six meter repeaters hooked up to All Star as well. So I try to get a little more active. We've got the repeater at site and site. So I'll say 73 to you and all on the net. Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a good upcoming week. Whiskey 3 Radio, Charlie back to net. Roger, Roger, too. I hope you don't hear our dead. I'll reach out to you. I have a Friday night net. I know your repeater site is inside there. I have a Friday night net that I've been blessed to be running two years straight with only two Fridays missing. There's someone on every Friday night. It starts at 8 o'clock Eastern. And we do have two repeaters that are connecting to the net on the Friday nights just to have them exercising in their area. So I'll reach out to that. Thank you, Vern. And have a good rest of your day, 73 to you. We'll pick it up with Rick now, Victor Echo 7 Whiskey Foxtrot. This is Victor Alpha 3 Echo Whiskey Victor with the Transcanda Net.

They've got a room in town, I decided to camp. So we're moving sights today, we're headed west and north. So I'm striking camp right now. I'm taking down some bubble wrap. Not too bad, we're fishing in. I've been pretty tall today. I'm going to be here, good to hear everyone. I've been commuting from Faroe to the work site, which is about an hour for the week. Each way, I've been playing some mobile HF on the way. I made a few contacts, but I was not read up on the contesting rules and I'm out of town and really engaged. So unfortunately I wasn't able to partake as much as I would like, but I think that would have been a good opportunity to do a little contesting assistance there. But it sounds like bank additions are great. When do I operate? As much as I can when I have time, essentially. Thanks for giving us an opportunity for that today Ernest and everyone else. Big salute to Trans Canada Net, all the trans. Ernest, how are you doing today? Matthew from Victor Yankee One. Mike, all here. I'm doing really good actually. Fresh off for shoulder surgery, which is awesome because I was hoping that I would have my surgery. I was hoping it was in November, the end of November, but I got to end of October. Only reason I'm on that is because with the job I have downtown all over there, there's no work from home. But now I get to work from home now for the next six to eight weeks. So I was just like, yeah, come on with your shoulder surgery. Let's get that all sorted out. For me, folks, I've heard all about you guys and what you do. I forgot to tell a little bit about me, so we're almost at the bottom. So I do radio all the time. That's just how that goes. I worked hard to get that license after many failed attempts, many, many, many failed attempts. So when the radio goes off, there's usually some type of major power outage or something has blanketed the earth that I can't talk on the radio. I love doing portal operations though. My fun in the shack, I'm doing nets, but on HF, I don't use the HF rig in the house. That's an outdoor thing for me. I do have lots of property, but for me, I like to go to different places and work on HF and play with different types of antennas. The reason I was asked about the contesting, I've done field day, but I've never really done a contest. I was just trying to look for some tips and tricks to participate in this one. But I'm glad to look for someone else because 99.9% of the folks that are out here today, yeah, I'm just going to learn my, what do you call it, my grid. I'm going to go help some other people get the points in their log. That's what I'm going to do. Have some fun with that. So yeah, that's how Ernest is doing today. Thank you for being out there.

Way back when, when we had cassette tapes, we used to have what we call micro cassette tapes. Those are used to, a lot of people use them in lectures, it's voice activated, and you just click it, and whenever the person would talk, it would record, and when they quit talking, it wouldn't record, that way you're not wasting tape on a lot of dead space, so to speak. I wondered if anybody had one they wanted to get rid of. I've got some radio traffic that I'd like to record, and I don't want to be here, so I was going to set it up and let it run.

You ready to do stats my friend? You give me the word, we'll do them. W-4-E-D-P. Alright, W-4-E-D-P. You got the word. It's just K-4-E-D-P. Well good evening again everybody. W-4-E-D-P. You know this is something that we actually get a fair amount of emails requests for. So we'll keep doing it until we get emails telling us otherwise I suppose. But anyhow, these stats for tonight. We had, let's see, we had, you know what, my totals aren't right because of late check ins. But anyhow, we had 11 all star. One amateur wire, one DMR, 19 on echo link, one on hams over IP, one on M17. One via net logger and one via YSF. I think that's about 38 on there. Link repeaters. Now bear in mind these are just link repeaters in and around the greater Chattanooga metro area. Doesn't include things that come in via all star. We had 11 on the 144920. The 220 made a decent show tonight. We had 2 on the 224120, one on the 224560 and one on the 224920. We had one on the 442075 and 5 on the 443525 and I believe that's a total of 22. We had 18 on the 146790 and we had one relayed in. At one point in time we had 24 folks on the net logger aim window. The record there is 36 so really not even close. Tonight was a little bit of a slow night period. I got a feeling we were competing with some pro football. Boo, yes, boo. Anyhow, since the beginning of the year, first this year, we have had 589 unique call signs. Check in with us. Five of those were new tonight. We had 18 states. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. Record there is 26. We had 5 countries. Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Trinidad and Tobago and the U.S. Record there is 8. So, you know, we only had 78 check ins tonight. So, you know, with that being said, I think we did pretty good. Back to you Jim.

It's a good chance to test your radio equipment, make sure we can hear you. So that said there is a three minute timeout on the repeaters to try to keep your transmission stronger than that. We want to make sure that everyone has a chance to get their check in in a timely manner. So I won't separate into many groups during the net tonight but I do always just like to start with in and outs.

It's worth hearing only because It's so hard for nonprofits when they say we appreciate your time and talent and in the end It always ends up being about money and what Scott did nicely was actually say this is why it's about money I just was completely Impressed also, of course, I got to listen to him read from Joel which Oh, yeah, and let's see I did not quite keep a holy Sabbath I wrote and must confess three or four scenes for the book.

I have been talking about these weather stations I have up. And one of them is connected to a weather station here where KJ7, EXM, and a KX2 CW lived. So they would, at certain points, wait last evening, around 10 or so. I was seeing winds of 53 miles an hour blowing through Seattle on the weather station. And I watched it for a while. It hits off 40 and 30. And then it kind of went up and down. And finally, it kind of leveled out. I can't hear it, unfortunately. Looks like it finally calmed down. But I was going, oh my god. So it was really something. I talked to KJ7, EXM, and see what she felt. And being up in the tent story of her building among those winds, she mentioned she felt something in that. But maybe the building is kind of creaking a bit. But anyway, it was pretty interesting to have a remote view on that. And meanwhile, here in the Bay Area, we just had yesterday and today, it was sunny and nice out. And about 68 degrees here, which is cooler than it's been for us.

So I just decided, okay, do that. But ultimately, the other day was fun. I had a good time. I ultimately did get a little, I had quite the adventure there because partway, partway, I sure did anyway. I kind of took and did some slipping and sliding in places. So yeah, that was interesting, also dangerous. But I made it partway on the coordinates I was taking and then got myself kind of turned around because I wasn't seeing the landmarks I should have seen. So ended up rescued. That was fun. Well, of course, when I got home, I started playing with things. So I ended up playing with a gadget or two, put them aside. Today I played with them again and decided to see what they were about. Ultimately, when I plugged the charger in, I attempted to unplug it. But I got a surprise. Half its shell came out in my hand and I almost got myself shocked. So those of you who picked up one of those things, watch where you put your fingers and pull them out just a little bit more around the objects so that you don't discover the same thing I did.

I had taken two Advil last night and my brother said we'll go back to bed and sleep. So I did and I woke up at 1 p.m. Unbelievable. I've never slept that long at home. Only in the hospital but I guess I really needed it. Bob is doing well. He played well this morning in church and then they went out for dinner after or lunch after. He said he was going to bring something home for me but he really didn't know what I could eat with this medical condition at this point. But I appreciated the thought anyway. Let me see. The little baby is doing well. Diamond, she's eight weeks old now and she's so cute today. She, tonight we had the blinds drawn down in the living room. She decided to climb them from the inside. She got in them and then she got in between the slats and we saw her hair and finally we saw her pull her whole body up through the slat. It was so funny. And then she got back down on the Davenport and settled down. But she's quite the climber. She's amazing. On my walker I have the handle bar that goes across and an arch because I have a four-wheel walker with its seat on it. Then it has the handle on the top and I have a seat and the handle is padded with a cover. And she loves to hang from the padded parts and like the what do I call that anyway? The handle of the walker I guess I could call that. She loves to hang and swing back and forth from that. I swear she's definitely born and raised probably in the jungle, you know, right? But she's quite the acrobat. So that's your layabout it from here. I hope everybody has a nice rest of the evening and a good day tomorrow being Monday.

Last night, 20 minutes after I checked into the evening net, my power went out too. Of course, not everything turns off because of the kind of person I am and the kind of technology that I have fun with. My four cell lithium ferro phosphate battery that I keep floated with my bench power supply, kept my radios on. My battery powered, three battery powered music stand lights remained on. My old 11 year old Mac Mini shut off, but that wasn't necessary. And my main computer I use in the windows cell is my battery powered MacBook Air, my six year old MacBook Air. And let's see what else. And so I've got some other, you know, battery powered lights. So I was still a happy camper when that happened. I love it when the lights go out."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-26T21:26:02+00:00","id":69788,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69787,"text":" And then I was expecting I had an order delivered with a Tess Gerritsen novel, a sequel to one I've already read.

Part of you is like, I think putting up a webcam of some kind or something in a bathroom might raise some suspicions. So maybe not the best place to put up a camera.

I am Brian, K-E-7, K-Z-H. This is the Nine O'Clock Net on the PSRG Repeater in Seattle, Washington. I'm going to go ahead and read some announcements here. I do pull these over from our Facebook page. It's the PSRG discussion group. It is a closed group with I think 1.3 thousand members. If you have Facebook and are not a member, just go over there, give a quick search. And you do have to be let into the group. It is a private group, but it's pretty easy to get in there. So I will read some selections from this. Jack K-I-7 R-M-U keeps under the featured section of the group. There's a pinned topic called events to consider. So I will read a few highlights from that. Let me reset. All right. The first thing that you probably hear all the time, a couple of recurring events on Saturdays. The first is Video Culver Tacoma has their open house, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. And then of course every Saturday evening is the Simplex Net. This happens on one, oops, I'll make sure I actually have it correct there. Oh, it's not even mentioned. Oh yeah, my eyeballs are going crazy. All right. Yes, the Simplex Net is at 146.56 at 8 p.m. local time here. Simplex Net is a great chance to see who you can talk to, who you can hear, who can hear you without a repeater in between you, all on VHS. It's always a fun time there. All right. Then of course, let's see, coming up on Saturday, November 8 will be the next PSRG educational meeting. This will be at 1.30 p.m. Pacific time and held on Zoom. The meeting link and passcode are already posted here on the PSRG discussion group. The topic this time will be operating ham radio satellites and the ISS. The presenter will be Mike KB8 BMY. This should be a fun one there. So try to make sure you can join the Zoom session there. Saturday, November 8, 1.30 p.m. Pacific. All right. After that, we have a couple of holidays and some daylight savings time reminders and all that stuff. And of course, the Olympus rally up in 2026 will be April 17th through 19th. Get that on your calendar. If you're a rally goer there, I know those tend to be a lot of fun there. All right. Again, if you missed anything, please head over to the PSRG discussion group and look for the events to consider. So with that, when you reset."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-26T21:35:38+00:00","id":69792,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69791,"text":" So I am Brian, K-E-7-K-Z-H and I'll go ahead and take a quick turn, a check in for myself. So yes, I was in Yakima so I actually missed most of the storm that was brewing through the area yesterday. It did get a little bit windy and stuff like I said when I was driving home over the pass last night. It's got to be in the top five of white knuckle driving and I'm including driving in snow storms and other things like that. It was between the wind, the massive amount of rain. At the top of the pass it was full on heavy thick snow but then that super wet snow. Didn't slush up on the roads at all but there's so much standing water on the roads and stuff. Oh my gosh it was definitely. The wind blowing, leafs flying everywhere and then stretches of the highway just covered in leafs and just hydroplaning and oh my gosh some sections of the road I slowed down to about 35 miles per hour and that even felt a little too fast. But sometimes you know even going too slow can be dangerous if someone's coming up behind you visibility is not great. It's hard to find that sweet speed, sweet spot for speed. So anyway I did make it home safely. We had a nice concert last night. It was all Strauss because yesterday was Strauss's 200th birthday. It was kind of a birthday celebration, 100% Strauss concert. Lots of Viennese waltzes and fun stuff like that. So had some live dancers, the Yakima Chorale joined us and did a bunch of selections from the Flader mouse and yeah it was a good time. So I did make it home today and yeah doing the net. Nothing too exciting today going on just recuperating a little bit there.

Yeah. Things are doing all right over here. Glad you had a good weekend. And yeah, it's been pretty mellow. And I was going to say, yeah, the nets have been kind of quiet. Kind of all around from, I don't, it's a chance to listen every night, but they seem to be kind of slower than usual still. I'm not sure. There's a seasonal shift and we're past that, but who knows? And yeah, it's been a decent weekend. I had to take down my antenna. Just don't trust it in the wind. I had to take down a bunch of other, you know, things. Even a couple of Halloween decorations I had put up because I finally have started to put decorations up for Halloween, even though we'll get a couple of trick-or-treaters maybe. We'll see with Halloween on Friday this week. And it's coinciding with the local merchant trick-or-treat. Maybe they'll do that first and then go out into the neighborhoods. We'll see. But yeah, what else was I going to mention about the weather? We had some power flickering yesterday, which made me realize that maybe I should get a UPS for my router, for my internet router. Maybe not even for the, what do they call it? It's not a modem anymore. I've got fiber and I can't remember off the top of my head what that's called. But just having the router, just because we now, you know, I have lights that turn on and off that use the network. And when those get shut off and I can't turn them back on until the router fully comes back up, that's a little annoying. But that's all I've got.

Yeah, I guess when I had fiber before I moved up here to Marysville in a cable modem, I do have a UPS. I think about three hours and 45 minutes to power my main router and my cable modem now. I used to have the same UPS when I had the fiber with an ONT. Yeah, about three hours and 45 minutes on that. My other two mesh nodes do not have battery backup, but it would give me what I would need to have in that situation. And of course, I even have backup internet on that as well on the whole thing. Now, as far as those switches, I guess if they have to use a cloud service to communicate, then you would want to make sure that ONT is also on that battery backup. But even then, yeah, so I have home assistance, so I can control some of my light switches and bulbs and stuff directly with no cloud service. So that's one way I've worked around that potential problem there. So anyway, hey, good luck there. And some of those UPSes, yeah, they're a little heavy, but for me, worth the trouble because especially if it can get you a few hours, you don't have any other backup power, sometimes that's just enough to kind of get you through there in an emergency. So all right, good luck there, Paul. Glad you fared the storm. And of course, Paul will run the Tuesday Night Net, so say hi to Paul on Tuesday night.

I'm doing very well, thank you. I've joined the net a bit late tonight. I just started listening to the round before this one and heard Joan and Rebecca and your check-ins. I love hearing that you were hoping to test your generator. I think that that's awesome. We didn't lose power last night, which is so surprising. We lose power at the slightest flutter of a breeze in my neighborhood. But I have learned because of that, testing all this stuff and the preparedness that you have planned for, like Paul was sharing, keep routers on and all that stuff. It's really valuable to have an actual outage every now and then and see if all your plans work. Anyway, cool stuff. Tonight we had some friends over for pumpkin carving with the kids. That was really fun, although we realized our friends and children are younger, so it ended up being my girls carving pumpkins and the grown-ups of the kids carving pumpkins. But we still had fun. Pumpkin number one was the face of a raccoon, and pumpkin number two was the face of a pug. My girls decided that next year they want to try something less complicated, and I think I agree with them. They worked really hard at it, and it was cool to see that. I got to make one of my favorite fall soups. I've made it twice this season already. It's this creamy chicken and bacon and potato kind of thing. It's very rich and heavy and hearty, and the perfect thing on a cold night with some crusty sourdough bread. It's a really fun dish to make because there's a lot of steps, and the smell just gets better the entire time. You start with bacon, and you cook that up and take it out of the pan. Then you sear your chicken, and then you take all that out of the pan. You just build this beautiful fond. Then you add a mirepoix, and then you make a roux, and then you add a bunch of chicken stock. Oh my word, it takes a while, but it was just delicious. I'm going to have some more for lunch tomorrow. That's what's going on with me over here. I hope everyone is well out there. I hope folks have power restored by now if anyone lost power, but I'll send it back to them.

It's like I get, I don't really want the power to go out, but on that, I kind of want to see it. Yeah, it works if I just go to the breaker and shut everything off. I know that. Takes about 90 seconds or something before it all kicks in and stuff. But anyway, even with backup satellite internet also on that, monitors on the regular table internet, if that goes down, it actually flips a switch, turns on the satellite, reroutes everything. But having it all happen in true fashion. Anyway, all right, glad you had fun at the pumpkin carving. Sounds like your kids were old enough to kind of do that. But a little, sounds pretty challenging there, raccoon and pug faces there. Sounds more than just a little triangle eyes and jagged mouth that I would make.

K9VDC Brooks here in Newcastle. Doing well tonight. Excuse me. Had a good day today. Got to sleep in a little bit. And got up and made some biscuits and gravy. Had to go to the store first because I didn't have the ingredients to make biscuits and gravy. But when I woke up, I was craving it. So that's what we had for breakfast. And then, let's see. So last Friday, I got a new shop tool. I made the trek to Bellingham to Grizzly Industrial. And I picked up a mini milling machine. And it's a little bit of a misnomer calling it mini, unless you really know how big regular milling machines are. The thing still weighs about 300 pounds. So it's only mini in the sense that it's mini compared to other mills. It's not necessarily mini compared to other things in the shop. But needless to say, I had to get an engine crane, like a cherry picker-style crane from Harbor Freight, to be able to lift the thing off of the pallet and put it on the stand. But of course, when we assembled the crane, it wasn't lifting. And we realized it didn't have enough oil in it. So I had to order oil. So I got some oil. And it still wasn't enough oil. So I had to get some more oil. So today, after breakfast, I was able to, with not enough oil, I was still able to get the thing lifted up on its stand and on its little roller wheels so I can position it into place. I've not turned it on yet or done anything fun with it, other than just got it all set up. And yeah, it's ready to kind of wheel over. And I've got to clean all the oil off of it that is on there from packaging and shipping and whatnot. So it's going to be a project. Do a little bit every day. So yeah, so it's kind of fun. A little garage shop is coming together. This afternoon, we went down to Olympia. Our friend had a little birthday get together. So it was nice to see him and his girlfriend and their son and some of his friends. Had some chicken wings and some ice cream and had a good time. Anyway, yeah, that's all I got for now.

I also want to thank the Puget Sound Repeater Group for the use of the repeater. More information can be found at the website which is psrg.org. And as I mentioned earlier where I read some announcements and whatnot, we also have the PSRG discussion group over on Facebook. So if you are a Facebook member, head over there for additional information and to continue some of the conversations that were had on the air, add some pictures to the conversation and whatnot. And of course the events to consider that Jack K7RMU keeps up to date there. So and also just remember that this is a social net of sorts. It's a good chance to test your ham radio equipment. Remember if you don't test your equipment we can't hear you. So with that I will officially close the net here. It's 951 p.m. Pacific time and return it back to regular repeater use.

Our sign of winter, we put up the winter cat door, my wife insisted on it this weekend. So that's what's out there now and it looks like we're going to get a hard toss this week. So goodbye bugs. Alright, VA3KKY. Kevin, how was the antenna show? You know, the more I thought about that over the weekend, I said that's an antenna show. That's a very visual thing. Did you have fun? Did you have a good time? This is KC2PKG over to VA3KKY. Yep, I want to get into that and just warn you in advance, it will take a few retries. You know, because I said I would never do it, right? I do it tons of times. So anyways, maybe I'm as believable as Carney. Anyhow, let me say something on the first thing though. I don't think there's a Canadian equivalent to the National Federation of the Blind or the American Council of the Blind. First they wouldn't be called American. I don't think there is, but if somebody knows, maybe it means they know and I don't. Let's see, Reagan, I remember more Richard Little goofing on him and he used to goof on him when he'd make fun of his like, you know, like I think at the time they didn't know what was wrong with him. Years later they found out it was amnesia and other things, that he was long no more the president after that, right? Like even SNL started to kind of pick up goofing on that, but I used to love when Richard Little, if he's even still alive, I used to love his bits on Ronald Reagan, but I really don't know his presidency. I was a bitty bitty bitty kid. What I know more, I have a few lights out and suspense episodes that he's in when he was an actor. There was that one suspense thing where he's in with Ronald Coleman. Remember Ronald Coleman, the English guy? He died of emphysema, right? He didn't even make it to television, he died right during the time of a lot of that stuff. So I kind of remember something with him and Coleman, but I don't really remember him that well either, just that they were in old flicks. Now, okay, getting right to antenna day, hold on. Okay. Okay. I'll tell you halfway through in it, I wanted to leave because I was bored, but I'll tell you at the start of it, right as I was giving you guys the last overs, Robert shows up, right? So just at the point where I'm about to tell you guys, thanks for checking in, I can't do it without you, my dad's like, come on, and he's like screaming my name, right? And so I'm like, I'm doing this thing, I'll talk to you in a minute. He wouldn't accept that answer and he just kept screaming and screaming and screaming. I didn't know why. So I signed with you, right? And then, I don't know, I was going to go up there and fight with him. I'm like, listen, I got stuff I'm doing, I can't just run after you day and night. He got a chill, so I was all prepared to say something like that, but he told me, a guy is at the door, you moron. I'm like, oh shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit. You guys are signed, I got you looked after. So then I just walk away from the computer, I was leaving it going, I do that sometimes, and then I forgot my cane, right? Because I wanted to make sure I grabbed my headphones, my fanny pack with my vape gear, that's all that's in it. I took out the cigarettes and I took out a few other odd things that I didn't even know was even in there. And then I packed some candies and some hauls. There's a reason I did that. And so we got to Camber Valley Park in due time and it was funny, one of the guys, when I told him I forgot my cane, he said, oh that's easy, we got antennas galore here. And he gave me this fish pole looking thing. Luckily it folded. It's so funny that it actually folded, right? Because you could actually pull it out and have it a lot longer. They had a bunch of those they were using for radio. So he gave me one to walk through the park with. It actually worked. It was almost like a folding cane, just a little bit short, but then I'm little anyways. So it wasn't quite my style, but then it's not my cane, right? So anyway, so I got this funny looking scat that I'm walking around the park with, okay? And then the guy even attached like a little string on it because he seen me a bunch of times walking around Langley with the cane, basically just kind of like what I do, I tie the string to my hand all the time. So it's tethered to me. So he copied that style for me, right? So I'm walking around with this fish pole looking thing and I look like an old man with a scat. That's kind of what they said. They said, we don't even think you're blonde. You look like Merlin the ethnic magician. So anyway, so walking through the park, Robert makes radio. So he made this little tiny transceiver, right? It was for 80 to 10. It was five watts and he had it attached to one of those fish poles that I'm now using as a cane. It was drooped on the tree, not very good. If I wanted to, I could have just pulled it down. So we're in the middle of the grass area, in the middle of the park. He's not making any contacts. You can't do very well with five watts. You really can't. I mean, the people that are working that he's hearing, I'm sure they lie about it, right? I'm sure they're chilling out at least on a hundred watts and they probably got big antennas. They're not using a lookalike antennas. They got real antennas. So I probably made one or two contacts. The calling area, I think wasn't even the right one. Vancouver is 03. I was with a couple of VE2s. That was who was in my particular, well, we didn't have tents. We just had little sections in the park. There were five or six groups. So I came with the VE2s because Robert was carpooling. So he had bought a couple of Frenchie's with him and that's who I was chilling with. There were tons of VE5s and VE7s, but they were all over the rest of the park and they really didn't get with us. They were calling out 04, which is not even our area. No, no, no, no. The VE7s were calling out 03, like they'd say you're 5903. The VE2 guys I was swinging with, and I followed their instructions because I was using Robert's receiver, he said call out 04, which is not even any of the areas they're in. So they're essentially lying, but also what they're doing, they're not even logging any of it. They never kept any logs. So by the time we were ready to leave, the one guy said to me, what was it you worked? It was like a W9 and I couldn't hear the guy just like he couldn't hear me. I barely got my call sign through. And I must have frustrated those, I had a few attempted calls, I must have frustrated them, right? Because if they didn't get my call right, they were like, snap, I just almost had them. They were probably cursing under their breath. Snap, why did I even talk to them? I don't even know who the stupid bastard, what he said. I must have frustrated some people who made calls. What happened was, towards the noon hour, it started to really, really, really patter out rain. So we decided to just leave. We were getting wet, and so we packed everything away and left. I had said at some point that I want to cut it off before noon, but there was no need to do that. So finally we left, I stopped by a pizza pizza, I grabbed some super slices, and let's see, through the, while, during the day through the park, I was fooling with my phone. I didn't really have good signal in the depths of the park, so I just kind of kept it to a minimum. I was listening to the radio, but that's kind of how it was in the depths of the park. By the time I got home, my phone was at 26%. When I left the house, it was like at 100. So I don't even know if that's good or bad. It was like six hours. I put on all the screen saving things I could think of, and there's something new on my phone I didn't have before. Now on YouTube, you could put it to sound only. It's a check box, and that saves data, but it also locks your screen up, which will save some battery too. Maybe that's what helped, don't know. I'm still using the bleeding battery, because I'm keeping the other one when I absolutely, lutely, lutely, lutely need it, which probably won't work when I need it, right, because that's how things are. When you need them, they don't work. So there you go. That's my day. I've got to go. I'll listen a few minutes, but I haven't even started my stuff yet, so I'm being bad. Not unusual for me, right? So back to you, Gray, VA3KKY, and take care to the rest of the group. Peace. This is Repeater Station Kilo Kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All right, guys. I just had some kind of weird echo-losing problem where I got kicked off, and I couldn't get back in, and blah, blah, blah. So if I suddenly drop out, somebody text me, and I'll skip over to All Star. Daryl, V01UKC, what'd you do this weekend? How'd it go?

I searched and searched, couldn't find it. So, I did find this pack that contained 112 GameCube games and 122.5 gigabytes for one file download. So, I downloaded it. It took a couple of days because not many people had it, and it was kind of slow and whatever, but it finished this morning. So, now I'm decompressing all of those 7Z files, which I built natively, which is fantastic. I didn't realize that Mac handles 7Zs natively without needing to build up just a 7Z program. I'm guessing it handles RAR and ZIP and all that kind of stuff too, probably. There's like an Arcot manager built into it that Windows does not have. Windows can handle ZIP files, but that's it. So, I'm wondering now how many file formats does Mac's compression utility have? That's a good question for Gemini. Not for any other reason except I'm curious. Back over to you, Gray.

So, we just made a fire and kind of relaxed, did a few chores and took her easy. So, today I'm just rolling out of bed now. It looks like I'm sitting at home. So, I'm trying to figure out and get enough courage to talk to my company and see what's going on. Because the last couple of weeks they had me crawling underneath a building and I'm a little too old to do that. And now they got no work and the guy that I was with, he's working. So, he's an apprentice. He's making less money and they do definitely need to keep the apprentices busy. They need to get all their hours.

It turns out while fuel is a little bit more expensive and AI is consuming a tremendous amount of power, that's not why the price is going up. Ice is going up because of infrastructure. They're putting in new poles everywhere, and you see inside the table, which is clad in aluminum. The outside is aluminum, but the inside is steel. They are heavier. They are much tougher. When the tree falls on the line, the tree breaks, not the line. They are harder to put up, so you've got to pay a lineman and stuff like that for more time to get the whole thing together, but it's supposed to make a much more robust infrastructure, and that's why the price is going up.

But what they've done is eroded trust in the government for the long term.

I mean, I trust people, you know, that they're going to screw you over or something until they do, and then you're dumb for trusting them in the first place. But I try to keep a little guard at the show that they usually say. But I just saw a video just now from a press conference over the weekend. Mark Carney says that we're turning off the power. We're closing the border after the World Series is over, and all the players have returned to their respective countries. Canada has had enough of Donald Trump's threats against our sovereignty, threats against our people, and constant financial attacks against our country. We have had enough. Carney says we will turn the power back on and reopen the border only after Trump releases the Epstein files, and we will only reduce or continue trade talks when he releases the video of Epstein walking out of prison. So I think that's going to be it, man. He said Ontario led the way with the commercial, and all Trump did was kick and scream like a baby.

If you look and research it, it doesn't look like the United States is releasing reports. Everybody in the other world will see the reports on, but if you look at the United States, I think they're not releasing reports.

So we're not getting accurate information, not on the news and not on anything.

Man, anybody that trusts the United States government is asking for trouble. We'll put it that way. They lied and hurt their own people so many times over the 249 years. Yeah, you definitely can't trust them. I don't trust Trump. I don't trust any Republican or Democrat. You know what? It's pretty funny.

We're hanging out with us and I've got a new Volkswagen Gray. I don't know if you saw it on the put it up on Discord. I think I put it on there the other day. I got it, but it's all orange. So it's like a pumpkin. We call it the creamsicle. You know like one of those orange creamsicles. It needs a tune up. It needs oil change. All that good stuff. Hadn't been running about eight years, but it's got the tires on it are only two years old. So the guy started fixing it and just quit pretty much what happened. So anyway, I was very excited about that. Got it cleaned up yesterday on the inside about halfway and the floor plans, believe it or not, are very good. They're very good in it. I think I sent there a little picture of it. So anyway, yeah that's it. Let me reset real quick. As far as the gift goes, Gray, the best gift I've got, a few of them really, as I just think about it while you're gone. My dad before he passed away, he got me a Humminbird Gibson guitar and it's of course it's gained value through the years as I've kept it. He got it at $47.98 and the guitar is getting a little age on it now. The older they get in a good condition, they're worth a lot more. Of course I would never sell it, you know, unless it was a dire need or emergency situation. But I love that guitar. I think of him when I play it. And then my wife and my son got me a new Bible when I first heard that as well. So anyway, those are just a couple of things that come to mind, Gray. And I think I'm gonna try to stay with you. If you call me and I'm not there, just take me off the list, Gray, because I've got tangled up with him somehow. Appreciate you and I'll try to talk to you, Gray."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-27T06:15:33+00:00","id":69987,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69986,"text":" KM4QBC, this is Casey2PKG, I'm really glad you mentioned that.

Is that early 60s or something, the hooded headlights, the rain guards over the windows? That has some age on it. That's an antique. I'm sure it's over 30 or 40 years old. You'll get it running too because those cars just will not die. That's very cool. If you've got a second, tell me what year it is. It's Casey2PKG, or EM4QBC. Located in Shelton, Washington. Roger that, Graham. I don't know if I put the year on there or not, but it's a 74 and it's a regular Beetle. It's a regular bug. It's not a Super Beetle. It's a little unique in that respect. They really started producing and going with the, well a little before that, but they really started focusing more on the Super Beetles. But it's just a regular bug, which I like because they're a little bit smaller and I just like the look of them better. They're a little more rounded, they're not quite as long and the fenders are more round and so forth. I just like the look of the regular bug more than the Super Beetle. But 20 years old.

Best gift I ever got I think when I was about 14 or 15 years old my folks got me a brownie Hawkeye camera with a flash attachment and a lot of our family pictures were taken with that I don't imagine I can get film for it now I probably could improvise something maybe get some negative film and cut it out and put it in there I might be able to take pictures with it I have it has a plastic acid and somewhere the garage that I even got some flash bulbs so I've got the whole thing maybe I can just sell it to somebody who collects cameras I don't know I should it's still out still I still have the brand new box that came in too so it's pretty cool let's see I don't think Trump is boy or can be blamed for shutting down the government the Congress did that they're unable to make a decision or compromise so when you vote think about it who you're electing for your congressman and that maybe of course you can't believe what they say they'll say anything to get elected but I thought well but you maybe we can save some money while this government shut down but I doubt it I think we're in debt now or more probably a debt will go off up even though government shut down so be nice that they would pay some of the people the serviceman and aircraft you know died of running air traffic control a few other jobs like that they could pay but they won't do that they're not smart enough kb7 pbw back to net"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-27T06:20:05+00:00","id":69990,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":69989,"text":" AB7PVW, this is KC2PKG, and you know the National Guard is on its way to Portland.

I don't know where Trump's getting his information. Five years ago they were riding downtown for a couple, three months, and our local government did really nothing. And that's when they should have had another battle to the parties here. Now there's maybe, I don't know, 50, 100 people down there, maybe 200. I don't know, but they're wearing costumes down there. It's like a party down there. And then the ICE people will come out once in a while and fire tear gas and knock people down. They had a blind guy, his feet were a foot over the line, and so they picked him up and dropped him. Then they drugged him about 100 feet. I imagine that blind guy was a real threat to him. My God, I can't believe it. If they bring in 300 or 400 National Guard, they'll be 10 deep around that building down there. It's just a joke in my opinion. If the National Guard comes in, I'd tell the people just go home. There won't be anybody down there except the National Guard. We'll see. I wish the news would just tell us when they make a decision. Every night on the news they've got to say, oh, the National Guard's coming, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, tell us when they get here. That would be the news.

Hope everybody's doing well. Weekend was okay. Hi. How you doing, ma'am? Good. Tiring. We had a grandson half the time and my wife is kind of, she's getting an infection. It's a reaction to an antibiotic that she's taken. So she was really itchy all weekend long. I made it kind of tough on her. Hopefully, she's going to call the doctor for a second this morning. We stopped taking that medication. She'll get her on something else instead and maybe I'll look down on pay. What was the question? The greatest, biggest gift I ever had or the greatest gift or the most appreciative gift? I don't know. My wife putty umplet piece in the last 42 years. I can't answer much more than that because I know I'm a pain in the ass to be around. So her sticking around all this time is probably the biggest gift I ever got. Anyways, back to debt control.

Man, that is a hard question. 47 presidents and we have to choose the best one out of them all. I mean, there's been some really good ones out there that's done some really good things. There's been some pretty awful ones out there too. In modern times, I would say Reagan, hard pressed to find somebody who did more than Reagan at this point, and he's financially conservative at the same time, which is nice. Trying to save some money. I mean, again, Clinton wasn't, I mean, he was getting some special services, but I mean, overall as a president, the 90s was nice. I mean, you really want to judge presidents, judge them on the period in which he lived, the 90s from all accounts. It's a pretty good time to be alive in America. So, I mean, kudos to Clinton for that. So, I don't know. Historically speaking, overall, it's hard to say Thomas Jefferson made a huge impact. I mean, look at the Louisiana Purchase and then the Lewis and Clark expedition, that opened up and gave us the entire continent. So, yeah, I don't know. That's a hard question. Then I'm flowing through presidents in my head. This is not what I was prepared for.
