I did fly on Monday, flew on Monday a little bit. We did slow, see I'm going to confess my worst part of, I'm going to brag first. I fly an airplane dang good. In well controlled and all the exercises like you know, slow speed, power on stalls, power off stalls, emergency landing perhaps, all that kind of stuff. I'm real good at all that. The round out to landing is just my struggle bus. The approach is always great. It's coming in while I'm learning this thing. And that is just the magic touch that I do not have. So on Monday we did a little bit of slow speed, low, they call it MCA for those who don't know, Minimal Controllable Air Speed. And you bring it right down against the stall and then try to control it because really ultimately when you're coming in for a landing, you want to be just barely above that. So that slow feeling that you get above the runway that makes me go, and then I usually heart drop it in or something like that. Anyway, that's what I'm working on there Bill. Thanks for asking. Yeah, going flying on, let's see, Sunday. So that's the next one. We'll go up on Sunday and then work on that. We're going to do some ground school stuff too.

I told her I could help her Monday all day and help the last clean up in the old studio because we've got to turn in the key and all that. Today would be the last day of the month. Didn't hear from her, then on Thursday she sends me a message that says, oh I guess, it must have been Wednesday night, late Wednesday night, she sent me a message that says she couldn't get her phone to work. Anyway, I said, OK fine, the next day. And the next day she doesn't call me until like 5 o'clock or something, I don't know. Anyway, going down there today finally to do a little clean up on this one studio and make it presentable so we can turn in the key. I hope you get a much earlier start but I didn't get a call until about an hour ago. Anyway, hey, I haven't looked at the weather forecast but just driving around here looks pretty darn nice.

We'll talk to you soon. And good luck getting your friend all cleaned up and moved out successfully. I know it's been a long push. Good job. All right, well, let's go down and talk to Austin.

We got a few more microwave links to hang across a few sites here down in central Oregon, not up in the mountains, fortunately, but it's sort of winter's low for us because we can't get up the sites. Things slow down, especially around the holidays, so we're starting to slow down a little bit for the winter, but I'm sure stuff always breaks, so I got a call at 1.30 this morning for a dispatch center that was completely down. So, you never know what happens, but I was able to get everything back up over a phone call without driving the two and a half, almost every hour, and then we got everything back up and running and everything was in place. So, yeah, still recovering from a lack of sleep last night, but oh well, they're up and running. But that's it for me here today, Jack.

I haven't, it's, I don't know, it's about five years old now and I've never done that. We flush the one at the lake out every year because when we leave, we drain it.

Sunny out there, temperature's 61 degrees. I see a big rain cloud over the Seattle area. I'm wondering how that's going up there.

I contacted the refi people and I said, what in the world is going on? It's out of control. Pages and pages and pages of, on my phone, scrolling of text messages and calls. They're just coming out of the woodwork, and my head is spinning. I'm like, what in the world is going on? She sent me a webpage to go sign up on, a no contact list, and I'm thinking, maybe I didn't read the memo thoroughly, but warn people about this. Had I known, I would have immediately got myself on that list because I've never experienced anything like this before. It's just out of control. I'm not exaggerating.

Hey, I didn't think I would be able to even compete with that. But anyway, that's pretty nice. Most of the day has been very stormy. Wind and rain was the story of our overnight and morning. And we had lots of it. We actually had the top part of a tree come down on our porch roof. And luckily no damage. The bulk of the tree kind of slid down the side. And there are some larger branches on top of it. But there's no damage. Thank goodness. Just clean up to do. So I'll be doing that this weekend. It's been a busy week for me. I've been working on preparing for this craft here that I'm doing the next two weekends. So a week from tomorrow, with the 8th and 9th and then again on the 15th and 16th. And I will have to be setting up for that on Friday afternoon. So I will be off the net for the next two weeks as I will be busy doing that. But I'll come back with a report and tell you how we did. So it's etched glass designs that I do and I've been really busy. I plan to take with me, oh, right around 300 glasses. And I have to transport them very easily. I produce a breakable product. So I've got the boxes with the individual slots in them that I can transport those down. But it's usually the biggest craft here in our area. And people do really well. I believe there's going to be like 400 vendors. So this is a big deal for me and it's been a lot easier this year with me retired. So I used to do this and teach too. But this year it's been a little easier. So that's what's going on here, Graham. With that, oh, I was going to try to get some pictures of the dog too. And let me break the time. I'll give you a career report."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-31T13:15:29+00:00","id":73153,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73152,"text":" Okay, the critters are still getting along and doing well.

You know what's amazing on the radio here, you learn something new about somebody and you think, wow, I never knew that.

So I didn't know you did the craft fairs and you might have mentioned it before but I just hadn't remembered it if you had. And that sounds like a very delicate operation. I think you said there will be over 300 items being transported for your Saturday, Sunday fair over the next two weekends. So anyway Paul, I hope it's very successful. It seems like a fantastic place with many, many others to go and see. I don't know if you'll have the time to have a walk around the fair and see everything else. I'm sure you'll be busy with your own. But that sounds amazing, really exciting. So yeah, it would be great to see some pictures of Cairo and Riga and everything else, no problem at all. But of course, the other question is, is there anywhere we can go and view some of the glass work that you do? Is there anywhere we can go and see some of your designs? I don't know if you've got a website or anything like that there Paul, but that would be great to see. And thanks for sharing.

My future son-in-law is in the process of trying to make me one. But it's a slow process because he's trying to do it at work. He's into computer science and that's what his job is. And so he's pretty busy. So he works on it little by little. And I'm hoping, of course with this wedding planning going on, they're pretty busy. So I'm hoping to get that up and running at least in the spring. But I do have a Facebook page and it's not updated with some of my newer stuff but it does have designs on there that you can look at. And it's under Coldstream Keepsakes. And that's the name of the lake we're on and that's Coldstream Pond and that's how I got the name of it. And that's what I just have posted things on there and I've actually had communication with some customers. They've ordered some stuff from me on that. But I'm hoping to do a website so I can do some direct sales hopefully in the spring when I get going with that. And I'm also in some gift shops that they do things on consignment. So this is a busy time of year so I have to keep those stocked as well as enough inventory for this craft there.

And I know you of course retired earlier this year. And apart from one week, one week blip you had going back and doing some stand in duties there. But I'm sure you'll certainly enjoy having a little bit more time and freedom to develop your other, I suppose it's a business there, all the kind of glass stuff. I'm looking forward to having a look at that. So well done Paul. Congratulations. And yeah, have a fantastic two weekends next coming two weekends. Sounds like it's going to be a lot of fun. So yeah, so I take it, you and Sandra take it in turns. I presume you're both going to stall most of the time. But I suppose you can relieve each other and one of you can go and then the other one can go and have a wee wander around all these several hundred other stalls in the fair. Because that seems like quite an amazing place to visit. As you said, one of the biggest fairs ever. So good stuff. I presume maybe you take it in turns to have a wee wander around and spend some pennies. I'm not this year. I'll ask you one more time Paul, if you don't mind just be nosy now. GM zero, you be frightened. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo. Yes Graham, we do. Usually toward the end of the day. And usually the first weekend is the busiest. So most of our looking around takes place on the second weekend. So we do kind of take turns and relieve each other when things get a little flatter. But when it's really busy it really takes both of us in the booth to keep up with it all. And so I'm fortunate she's able to go and do that with me. And last year was when the second weekend was when Kiro swallowed her necklace and had to have emergency surgery. I think I told you about that. And she wasn't able to go with me on the second weekend. But I had to enlist the help of a friend. Because I couldn't do it alone. And that worked out. But hopefully he won't do anything silly like that this year. So anyway, back to you Graham. And 73 will be talking after this is over. After the crapper is over. KC1DQS, back to you Graham.

No. What do you think glass is? Well, just glass designs and everything else. You have to go and check out his Facebook page. That's Paul's. Yeah, Coldstream Keepsakes. She's going right now there, Paul. She's cooking in the kitchen and she's going to take her iPad through and have a look and they see all that. So no doubt she'll come through and say, look what Paul does. So good stuff. Coldstream Keepsakes. There we go. I think she's all sorted there, Paul. Thanks again, Paul. You take care. You and Sandra have a fantastic time. Look forward to any reports afterwards or even during if you've got the chance. That'd be fantastic. And we'll say 73 to KC1 VQS and say a big hello and hi.

It's been not really much of an eventful week this week, I've just been relaxing trying to nurse it really because it did unfortunately get worse after I checked in last week and told you about it. But oh wow, it is what it is and it's just something that I've got to deal with unfortunately. I hope I get better soon but I feel like it is on its way out now so let's hope that that's the case.

So you're definitely sounding an awful lot better there, Declan, so that's absolutely great. But I do believe that poor GW8SZL is not sounding as good as you are.

Hey listen, it's not like you just all be working this time of day, never mind on a Friday. Normally you're at least done for the day if not home for the night, but there we go. So you're not done for the day and you want to be home for the night because you're heading out to, I do believe, let's just call it a party, Halloween party. Good stuff. And very well of course the question is, there that is, are you having to get yourself all dressed up, all fancy dressed and everything in order to go over to your friend's house and see all the outdoor cooking and enjoy the Halloween event, whatever it might be. So is it a fancy dress affair or do you just turn up as you are? I'm not too sure but you can tell us. And we actually had geysers come along, just one set, it was just three kids and two mums came along earlier and knocked on the door. So normally the parties around here, they just kind of keep themselves themselves just within a few doors and all the rest. And I didn't recognize them so I don't know where they came from but it was really nice to see. So thankfully we did have some candy, some sweets there to offer out and everything else so that was good. And the puppy Odin, he's now just, well six months old he is, yesterday was his sixth month they mark. And when I was standing at the door and he was inside and we could hear this woof woof, kind of very deep woof woof. I said that sounds like a big dog but he's only a six month old pup. Although he is a big pup right enough. There we go. And then they said oh we've got a Labrador and then one of the others says yeah I've got a dog as well. And I says it's a big dog. She goes it's a Rockwiler. And I says have some extra sweets.

Six months old already. That's pretty quick. I can't get over that he is six months. I heard something on here. I don't know if it was on here or did I read it on Facebook? I don't know. I think it was on here that he's going to a different school now. Well, maybe it's a private tutor. Maybe that's it instead of the other school, which is pretty neat. I hope he's doing good. Now, as far as this thing tonight, I told them where I was invited that I'd be, if I could make it, and then they pressured me, but I said if I can make it, I'd be coming right from work in my plain regular clothes. I don't really do anything for Halloween. So I wanted them to know. And it sounded like that was OK. I think other people might be possibly dressed in costume. I don't know. I am going to take a welding helmet with me in the truck. So if anybody says anything or jokingly gives me a hard time, I will get the welding helmet. I guess I should show up with the welding helmet on. Then they won't. Nobody can see me that way. And I should park down the street and walk so they don't see my truck. So I don't know if I'll do any of that, but I will take the welding helmet in the truck. I've done that before years ago somewhere else on a Halloween thing I was invited to. So I don't know. I'd really rather just stay home really to be honest with you. But I know them. They're right here in town. And yeah, they asked me twice. So I'm going to make it short when I do get there. I won't be staying there until midnight like most of those people will. No, I'll be in and out of there in an hour I'm sure. So that's my plan anyway. All right, I'll give this back to you, Graham, back to net control. And like I said, I'll be here listening to the rest of the net. And I think that's it for me. I got at least another hour of work here. What is it, 3.30 my time? Yeah, I'll be here until at least 4.30. Let's get over there by six. I think that's the plan.

It was a Christmas one when I took all the staff out in the school that I was running and all the teachers and the care staff and the domestic staff and everybody all came out and I kind of traced them to a nice time and everything else. We ended up in a different pub that had a band come in and this band came in. It wasn't so much a band as work, a jam session. There must have been about 12 or 15 musicians came in and they were absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed it so, so much. I do remember, well I don't actually remember too clearly, but I did apparently at least twice go over to them and say, hey you're doing fantastic. Let me buy you all a drink. They threw it onto the credit card and everything else. Anyway, once I saw the credit card bill there at the end of the day or the end of the month, I thought, oh for goodness sake, what on earth was I doing? Then Ray, my second credit card bill came in and it was even bigger and I didn't realize it must have been more than two rounds, but oh goodness. Anyway, there we go. Sometimes these things happen and you do learn your lesson. Anyway, Ray, was there anything else? Oh yes, the dog. We haven't completed the original puppy classes we went to and we went back to Peter whose husband is a fantastic trainer. He gave us two hours of what to do with a Labrador pup, a working Labrador pup. He's got the mother and the father of Odin and several others and they're fantastic working dogs. Yes, we've been using that technique for over a week now and honestly Ray, Odin is a different character altogether. We were doing all wrong and now we're doing, well hopefully a little bit more right. Anyway, that's an awful lot there. I know you want to get back to work.

I think with the credit card at the party, yeah, I had something similar happen one time and they added their own tip or they modified the tip. I forget the whole story. Just had to be 20 years ago. Well, it was a long time ago and the tip or the gratuity that was added on to the tab was not what I would have added. Now, I'm usually very, seriously, very generous with the tipping at an event like that. And anyway, this, somebody took it upon themselves to modify the tip that I wrote in there and and nothing ever came of it. Couldn't do anything about it. It was, I don't know, it was disappointing. I don't think I ever went back there after that. I did go back to talk to them. They all insisted, they insisted no management and all that. Nope, nobody would have modified the tip.

It's been usually very, very quiet in the neighborhood here. We do see some parties go on and people getting things decorated. But it's usually parties by invite. They don't really go door-to-door. Certainly kids don't do it by themselves or very, very rarely these days. Certainly if they maybe have a parent or two with them, that's a bit different. But there we go. It was good to see them.

The issue system, C4FM, wires, X's and that. I think I've got my head around all that. It seems to be pretty straightforward. Of course, I have had the Anytone 878UV2 Plus and everything else for some time now. When I try it, things still happen. I can hear people and they can't hear me and different bits and pieces. Then they listen to something, then they get switched over to something else, all these different things. It's just a little bit more of a learning curve. Just have to spend more time on it, I think. But I'm the same. Had it for a long time and it's so much of a mystery. So many things, so much of a mystery, that's for sure. But anyway, Mike, we'll just keep on plugging away and learning together. I'm sure we'll get there, that's for sure. I often fail trying to make digital connections with the Anytone. Let's go back to my ACU radio, do YSF to DMR in the hotspot. It's so much easier to me anyway. Mike, thank you. I was going to ask about your wife Jane there and how her wrist was doing with her arm. I know that you had that accident some weeks ago now with Bertie there. Sorry to hear that you had to have her wrist or arm rewired about a week ago. So like I say, I was going to ask him and thanks for the report there. So I'll send our best to myself and Helen, lots of love and hopefully she'll recover very, very soon.

But I find I don't know whether it's a fault of the open spot one or something like that but the audio sounds like a bee in a jam jar. So I tend not to use it unfortunately.

This week, actually, very quickly, I wonder if you, as far as the training of Bertie, I know with Springer, Spaniel, and Out and About, and Running and all the rest, with Odin, we haven't let him off the lead, kind of in public yet. Because, you know, there's certain things that give him a big scare, like if a car backfires or something. And we just don't want him running away. So in order to test things, actually, yesterday, we went to one of those secure fields, and then let them off the lead, and gave them lots and lots of exercise. They practiced all the recall, and his recall was fantastic, absolutely brilliant. And they also, you know, the lead, you know, the heel work, and everything else, he was doing absolutely brilliant. So we're a bit more confident now he won't run away if we let him off the lead in public. So what stage are you at with Bertie, as far as kind of letting him off the lead in public, if you ever have done yet? G7, NBA, some now just being nosy, sir.

And I had a good chat with this \u00f1 there\u00eds a lot of dog owners on our estate because where we live there\u00eds a football pitch plus a bit and a nice hedge running along the side of the road and loads of farmland and of course we have all of the old railway tracks that used to run to the pits in County Durham. They\u00edve been turned into footpaths and cycle paths and bridle paths by the council and they\u00edre very, very well looked after. I mean it\u00eds been a process over the last 30 or 40 years and they\u00edre absolutely brilliant. I mean there isn\u00edt a better place anywhere that I\u00edve found for dog walking even including the Yorkshire Dales and the New Forest. It\u00eds absolutely amazing for dog walking and five minutes from our door. However I\u00edve been nervous of letting him off the lead and this was part of the problem with Jane getting pulled over that we have one of these long training leads and we were hanging on to the end of it and that\u00eds how she ended up getting pulled over. He ran a 35 foot lead and she wasn\u00edt paying attention just for a couple of minutes as anybody could do and ended up over apex which is not great. So I have let him off. We\u00edre lucky to have fields that we can let him off on. I find I have to entice him into a pinch point if that makes any sense, you know somewhere where it\u00eds narrow, gateway or something like that. But letting him off with a long training lead, I\u00edm moderately confident to do that now and his recall actually is much better than I thought. I mean I had a conversation with some dog walking friends and particularly there\u00eds a couple that have got six dogs and I was speaking to the husband yesterday morning I think it was or yesterday evening I forget and he said you know you need to get him let off the lead, get him off the lead and we did.

That's really interesting. By the way, you didn't time out at all. That's exactly what happened to us last week when we went down to the breeder and our husband is a really good gun dog trainer. He's a retired police dog trainer and everything else. He was saying the same thing, get him off the lead. Get all the basic commands done. Get a better lead. He told us we had the wrong equipment. We changed it and everything else. What a difference it's made since a week past Wednesday. Honestly, it's been a world of a difference and his training has come on so, so much. Just as he'll work, everything else has just been quite a transformation. He says, once you've got that, he says, don't worry about the recall. He's a lab. He'll come back to you. He doesn't want to leave you. If you've got the ball, he'll come back. Have a second ball, he'll come back. He was absolutely right. We really enjoyed that time at the field yesterday. It's 12 pounds for an hour, which I don't think is too bad for the training and everything else. It has all the tunnels and the wee posts and the bridge and a sand pit and an old boat to go and play in and different bits and pieces. Even through the tunnel, great. We actually put up a video. Well, Helen did somewhere. He was doing absolutely wonderful. It definitely built our confidence. Hopefully, he built his as well. Good stuff, Mike. I think we're kind of at the same kind of stage. Just trying to get more confident and get them off the lead and just trust them, trust them to behave and come back. Good stuff, Mike. You take care. Say hi to Jane as well. Hope she recovers really, really quick. All the best to you, 73 to G7, MBH. Talk to you again soon there, Mike. Thanks so much. Let's see what's happening with Dale. That's out of the way.

He owns the mom and dad of Odin and they're fantastic gun dogs and he's got a whole pack of them. They're also great, they're really hard. So he gave us some very common sense stuff. I just wind it back and he said, you've done a lot, you've done a lot, but you can reinforce it by just going back to basics and just doing this and that and that. And he says, that's it. He says, dog training is easy. That's what he said. So I'm not quite convinced it's as easy as he said, but what a difference it's made there Dale. And even though we paid for seven weeks of classes, the last couple of, well the last three weeks were just not going to because it's quite a bit different in the kind of training style that he was telling us to use, which is definitely working. And we don't have to keep on going back. He says, please feel free to come back in a month or two months and we'll reinforce things, but you know, you've got the tools, just go ahead and do it. So we're doing it and it's making such a difference. Odin's doing fantastic. Dale is going to be a big, big dog. He turned six months yesterday. He's about 25 kilos. He's three or four inches higher than the other Labradors are at his age. So I don't know, but I think he's just going to eat us out of house and home there Dale, but nevermind. We love him to bits.

I'm quite familiar with the Yesu system and Mike was quite familiar there with the D-STAR system. They were both kind of wrestling with DMR and have done for basically years. There are just some aspects of DMR operating that is just a little bit of a mystery. Now, no doubt if we did a little bit more homework and experiments and all the rest, we'd find it. But how do you find DMR? And I wonder, are you connected by digital today? It sounds like you might be. You're sounding great. Anyway, back to you if you don't mind any advice on DMR operating. KN4EWT, back to you, sir. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec... Well, I don't know about a whole lot of advice. Miss Jeanette and Mike probably will be a little bit more knowledgeable than I, but as far as mobile work, I've got you covered. I'm actually running QRP into a HandGeek Raspberry Pi 3 7-inch Nexpen display hotspot. I know that was a mouthful. You can find it on Ally Express right now on sale for about $140. And it was quick set up and then I'm running it through the hotspot of my phone here in my car and the radio is an MD9600. Turned way down to about 500 milliwatts. And I use this so I can jump on TGIF because our local repeaters are only on Brandmeister. So if I want to jump on Brandmeister, I just flip a button. But that's about it.

Well we had trick or treaters at the door just a couple of hours ago, well it would be three hours ago, and they had just three kids and there was two women there, presumably the both kind of mums of the kids and I don't know where they came from, but there's quite a few parties you can see, people getting their houses decorated and everything else, but normally what happens these days, I mean back when I was a wee kid, we'd just roam around the streets and go to any door and trick or treat and everything else go into any house, but these days of course people are all kind of a bit more wary and they don't like their kids just going to random door knocking, so it tends to be more kind of organized parties and occasions and the kids getting together at some neighbor's house and having a party, which is always great, so good stuff. Of course we stayed at Dunkeld tonight, myself and Helen stayed up at Dunkeld, our local clubhouse up there, we did a huge, it was always the biggest event in the year, and we did a fee of charge, we always held the Halloween event, so if we still lived there probably tonight or maybe tomorrow night, we'd have been doing this Halloween event where Helen does a fair bit of work to do the decorating and organizing games for kids of all ages, early on in the evening for the younger ones and then the older kids who are working at parties later on and I would organize some music, do some live music and it always ended up with some karaoke towards the end and it was a great, great time, we did it for many years every year and it was always the biggest kind of event in the year and we did a fee of charge to be lived there and the owners really appreciated that so kind of missed it, but having said that it was a lot of work, so yeah I miss it but I don't, I miss the memories that's for sure.

Of course, lots of information is shared, but we don't have to have our pen and papers like sometimes we used to, but all these probably years ago now. You've got a fantastic website that is, of course, all the Ws, .11cats.org, 11cats.org, and all the information is there about how much you lead you and the pet health and everything else. Thanks for doing that, Jeanette. We really do appreciate that. Thanks for all your support and encouragement. We really do appreciate that as well. Hope Mike has been well as well in keeping himself undercover there while the little trick-or-treating is going on. I'm kind of a little bit like that myself there, Jeanette. I don't even like the parties and all the rest, but sometimes those unexpected callers can kind of, oh, well, who's that and why? We just get a little bit more suspicious as we get older. I'm not too sure, but anyway, it's all good. It's all good. Anyway, do you have anything else for us there, Jeanette? By the way, I was reading something about Halloween. Apparently, some years ago, Burger King introduced a black burger just for Halloween. It had to say beef burger, but it was black and obviously, it's using some kind of coloring and stuff to commemorate Halloween. We had to stop it because there were so many complaints from customers. They turned their poo a bright green color. There we go. I don't know if you've ever tried those black burgers from Burger King some years ago, but they don't do them anymore because apparently, you have them bright green poo and they had too many complaints. Yes, I had to say that twice. Back to you, Jeanette from GM0.

He's going to be a working dog as you know, but we can also use dummies to give him some practice on retrieval in the rough and things like that. So it's the first time that he's heard a gun fire and he immediately just sat, watched it, and the gun went off, didn't react, watched the end, watched the dummy fly through the air, landed about 200 yards away from him, waited for the command and off he went, retrieved it, brought it straight back and sat straight back down again. 100% instinctual. Obviously I've worked really hard with retrieval with him of various things, he does like sticks, but he's been working across water into rough and having to put his nose down.

But, as you know, myself and Helen, we've been more kind of used to taking on board older Labradors through rescues and picking up and doing bits and pieces. Quite different when you're actually raising an actual puppy, isn't it? So, anyway, I think you know that we've stopped the puppy classes. And we did go back to the breeder and the breeder's husband, Nick, who's a fantastic dog trainer. He's got loads and loads of Labradors. We've also looked up various videos, mainly on Instagram. And there you can see Odin's mom and dad as part of the pack. And he's fantastic at watching. But, you know, they're just so, so obedient. But, of course, they're kind of following the pack as well. So the puppies are learning so, so easily. And, yeah, but it's just amazing the way in which they're just kind of looking to him. And as soon as he says, go play, they go and play. He's got the big, big space and everything there. But it was great just to spend a couple of hours with him a week and a half ago. And honestly, Bex, what a difference it's made with ourselves and Odin.

I mean I have been very fortunate, I've grown up around puppies and dogs and working dogs. So it's a bit of an unfair advantage I guess. But I would say to anybody that has a puppy, the recall starts in the home in the first 12 weeks before you're allowed to take them out. Just through play. I know there are lots of different schools of thought, but everything my dogs learn is initially through play and then it becomes a little more rigid when we're out messing around. Yeah, sort of doing a bit more serious training but it's still not working, working. And he's 14 months now, 15 months and he is absolutely on point. But again, you've got a working dog there, come from working stock. And as we say in the working world, a Labrador is born half trained, a Spaniel dies half trained.

But it's kind of funny because I didn't pick up the comment, but two weeks ago when we did our final public training class, and we're not completing it as you know, the trainer actually said to Helen, and I was out of earshot, I didn't hear it, but she said, you know, he's doing well, but she said, I wouldn't have a Labrador.

I've got a first cousin that lives just down the road from me. And another one in Ashford just up the road. So this week's been an interesting journey finding out a little bit about my real father's side of the family. No one knows that he's still alive, but I found out a surname and another surname because he changed his name. He was a bit of a rogue. And he was one of 10 children. So it's been a very interesting week. So that will develop further, no doubt. And his surname sounds very similar to my surname. It's just a coincidence, pure coincidence, because mine's my ex-husband's surname. So there we go. Interesting week all round.

Honestly, sometimes when you start to dig and they uncover things, it's quite incredible the information you can find, that's for sure. My sister, some years ago, started to do some kind of research around the family tree and everything else, but she kind of hit a brick wall at one point, and I said, no, maybe it wasn't a brick wall, but just to end it up with some difficulties and be a little bit more extra effort, and I think she kind of thought, I'm just not going to bother. But no big skeletons were uncovered at that point. So on my father's side, I do have some relatives on my father's side who believe that they were relatives, or at least there was some kind of tentative link to some very, very healthy people up in Aberdeenshire, and I'll not mention the names of anything. Anyway, they were kind of considering they were just about to go to court, because they did believe that a very strong case. I never knew the full details. All I knew was that they would end up being kind of inheriting quite a big estate, at least one big estate up in Aberdeenshire, if that was the case, but it never did go to court. But that was many, many years ago. I don't know if anyone's still working on that one. Maybe I'll pick it up. Hi, hi. There we go. Anyway, Bex, thanks, thanks so much. Well, you take care. You're definitely approaching it the right way, just in your stride, and you're not looking for anything in particular, so therefore you won't get disappointed. All you can do is get surprised, and maybe even some good, good stuff comes from it. Great stuff. Thank you, Bex. You take care. Always good to chat to you about dogs as well.

I'm going to see what's happening with William out there in Oakhurst, Texas. He's also known as November 5, Golf Lima Oscar. William, welcome, sir. Great to see you again. How are you? The mic is yours. This is repeater station Kilo. Hi, I'm Heidi Graham, N5G over the net. Just happened to catch up myself, glance over the clock, and realize, hey, I can say hey to Graham. It's been a while. I guess I can say happy Halloween to you, too. Anyway, we're talking about dogs, making me reminisce a bit about a couple of my, a couple of dogs I had, especially since my wife and I got married. The first one we had when we got married, it was a, it was a mixed breed. It was Husky and what we call a cow dog or a Cattahoula cur, and they instinctively herd cattle. Well, she never got a chance to herd cattle, but we could sure use it or herd children. She would make those kids go where they were supposed to go, and heaven forbid if they started running through the house, she would slow them down. She'd make them behave. She even played tackle football with the boys, and she'd get her tackles in. And the other one was an old, let me start thinking, was an old, an old retriever who was a wanderer. And she was older than the other dog, couple of the dogs we had at the time. And she took over their training. She started teaching them how to act. In fact, one day one of them barked at our pastor who came up, and she reached up, slapped him in the face with her paw, put her paw in the middle of his chest and shoved him back and gave him this look like, who the heck do you think you barking at? But she corrected him. So, yeah, I believe that about golden retrievers. Most of the dogs I've had, any kind of training I did was just about communicating with them, talking to them, and I got one we had, she went to fairs, and the first one I talked about the mixed breed, the catahoule cur and husky. She went with us to fairs and festivals and stuff like this. We'd set up our tent. We'd walk away from the tent and tell her, no one here doesn't belong here, and we were gone. We had a little, some friends who were right next to us in and out all the time during the day. We weren't in the tent. The man went to check on our tent. The man opened the flap to check on the tent, and he backed up and his daughter said, but I want to pet Daisy. Her name was Daisy Bear. He said, you can pet Daisy when they get back. Right now, Bear is on duty. He said all he saw was teeth and fur. She wasn't going to let him in that thing. He would have been in and out all day long. As soon as we got back, she was friendly as anything with him.

Great stories, great stories. And back to this, it's all about the nature of dogs. They know what they're doing. They really do. And it's like the trainer told us a week and a half ago, do remember, your dog, he knows what he's doing. You just have to help him just do the right thing. So, yes, there we go. Good stuff. And of course, the herding instinct. I've definitely heard of a few of my friends with the various, either the Collie dogs or the English sheep dog, and how they kind of look after the kids, when the young kids are trying to move over here or crawl this way or crawl that way. And the dog says, no, I'll just keep you there. I'll just keep you here. And, yeah, just that instinct comes out and just keeping the children safe. And in one place, say, I know where you are. You're okay there. Absolutely wonderful. Dogs are wonderful animals. And I hate hearing any kind of stories about the neglect and abuse of dogs and everything else. And it's just terrible. They're such great companions. They offer so much love. And they're just so rewarding to have around. And I do say that with this Labrador puppy, who sometimes, well, you know, when they start misbehaving, you go, really? Why am I doing this? But you very quickly realize why. That's for sure.

The, uh, and uh, yeah, I just uh, I think one of the other things that was strange about Daisy, the first one we had, that we were, that stayed with us. I say, we only had to show her something once, tell her once. We very early taught her to, if it was on her table, leave it alone. One time some folks, uh, I mean that meant if a kid wanted to sit on the floor and eat and watch TV, as long as they put that plate on a pillow or anything off the floor, Daisy wouldn't think about touching it. Uh, one day the kids were having a picnic inside and my wife lays a, it was supposed to be a picnic outside that was raining, so she laid the blanket on the floor to start it for the picnic. And Daisy bear walks over to get on the blanket and Laura, my wife looks at her and says, table Daisy, table. She looked at my wife and looked at that blanket and she backed off and watched and she saw my wife put the plates and stuff out on there. She said, okay, they're using this thing for a table right now, so I'll stay off of it. And she did. So, uh, I think sometimes they're smarter than us. N5G yellow, back at you.

I wasn't really into cats. I've seen them here and there but I never owned one so I like dogs. But unfortunately, I'm talking when I was pretty little. We had the Irish Setter 11 or so. But we didn't have him long. He unfortunately got ill and passed. And my mother was so heartbroken. No more dogs, no more dogs, no more dogs. And then she talked about, well we could get, you know, I guess we could get a cat. So my grandmother, her mother, who was, she was a character. She had me, she was driving around, I was probably 13 or something. And we went in the pet store, let me drop this. And there was kitty cats. And I said, didn't mom say that we could have kitty cats? And two are better than one. And my grandmother was like, yeah, she said that. So we came home with a box with two kitty cats. And it was in the summer and my father, he looked at me, he looked at that box and he goes, there better not be a cat in that box. And I said, no, there's not a cat in the box. Because there were two. And I've had about 12 cats since then. Never had another dog. But I still have a 13 year old kitty cat here. But we do love our critters. There's no doubt about it.

No, that was brilliant, brilliant. I certainly don't mind cats either. I was never a cat person at all. Of course, when I got together with Helen, she had pussy cats and all the rest. When we started to live together, she brought her cats with us as well. Her cat just fell in love with me. I'm trying to remember what her name was. What was the cat's name? Oh, Tia, yes, Tia. Tia, like I say, I was never that fussed about cats there, Carl. I was always a more dog person, but I liked to stroke the cat and everything else, no problem at all. But anyway, Tia just wouldn't leave me alone. A wee tortoise shell-like cat, and she was getting older and older. She just wanted to be with me all the time. I just had to fall in love with her, of course. What she liked to do was just be cradled like a baby. She would lie upside down in my arms and have to rock her back and forth. I'd have to walk around the house and do my chores and my various bits and pieces with her, just upside down with one arm. She would just love just to be with me and just snuggle in and purr. It wasn't something I encouraged, but she just said, no, that's it. I'm just going to stay with you. I certainly did love that cat, that's for sure. Helen, of course, felt a little bit, hey, that's my cat. There we go. They always say cats choose their owners, not the other way around. Anyway, Carl, back to you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-31T15:17:21+00:00","id":73243,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73242,"text":" Well, I was for I.D. Yeah, no, they absolutely choose their owners, or maybe they own us. And somehow they learn how to be upside down cats. I don't know, they figure out that that gets a lot of attention if they roll upside down. I've had a few of them that did that. Roll upside down on the floor and they're looking at you out of the corner of their eye and you know exactly what they want you to do. They want you to love them up. But, you know, I think you have to have a cat to like cats. I always thought I was a dog person until I had cats and I definitely, I liked them both very, very much. But what did my father say, I'm trying to remember. He said, there better not be a cat in that box, he's being very stern. But my mother was outside, this is outside in the backyard. And I opened the box and these two tiny little red kitty cats jumped out and she was in love instantly and it didn't really matter whether you liked them or not. She was sold right on the spot, right on the spot. So that's kind of the way that went. I think my grandmother hung in the distance because she knew she was going to get possibly scolded, which never happened. But she, we yanked each other on for that one and came home with the cats. We had those cats and more cats over there when I grew up and then we had strays here that we saved. My wife and I, one was a mother with five kittens, brought them in. And we found them all homes except for two that stayed and the mother stayed so we ended up with three cats. And one of them, he was without a doubt my cat. And he met me at the front door every day when I come home from work. The minute I sat down, he was on my lap, you know, they just somehow do that. It's an amazing thing. So back over to you, Graham. Take me to effect."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-31T15:18:16+00:00","id":73244,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73243,"text":" Oh, Cal, you know, that's wonderful.

You know, when people like yourself, they just kind of reach out to them and say, you know, we can offer you some comfort and some food and this and that and all the rest. And, oh, it just makes such a difference. So, of course, they're going to say, hey, I'm going to choose you. I'll roll over for you any time of the day. So good stuff. Oh, great stuff, Cal.

In the radio realm, I've gotten turned on to this whole Parks on the Air business and bought a hand stick for the vehicle and a little Zagou G90, and I've been going to the parks and setting up and activating the park. I've got my phone. The phone is telling people where I am, and I have the tablet, and the tablet I'm logging. It's pretty hectic actually, but it's an awful lot of fun. So from a radio standpoint, that's kind of what I've been fooling around with. The other hobbies have been, well, I've got to get back into photography. I haven't done that in a little while. So some of the parks I'm planning to go to next have more than just trees. I think I may make it a dual adventure and do a little photography while I'm there.

Always a pleasure and it's a great year for you and Yayo! Pota seems to be something that's really taken off and of course when you look at the descriptions of some of the new radios that are coming out, everything else, they go ideal for Pota and you know, alright, okay. So it just seems to be really kind of taken off. I think especially over the pond and your side of things but even here in the UK, you know, there's many, many parks of course and I do believe it's getting more and more popular all the time but I think especially across in the US, it seems to be a big, big thing. So not something I've tried, I have to say but I do like the idea and I do like photography and like you, I haven't done enough of it recently. I just haven't had the time and music's been neglected as well so we'll get back there, especially as the puppy gets older and a bit more settled and doesn't need as much attention. But yeah, it's great when you can combine, you know, at least two of your hobbies. So Pota and photography does sound like a good thing to combine. They get some wonderful, wonderful parks I'm sure with lots of good picture opportunities and radio as well so good stuff. Hey listen, it sounds like you're having a great time there Carl and thanks for sharing. Good to hear from you and nice to have a wee catch up there. So thanks again Carl. You take care. Have a wonderful weekend. Please stay safe, stay well and we'll talk to you again very soon. So we'll say 73 to KB2FA and with that we're having a wee look and yes we are at the bottom of the list.

Yeah, I'm really enjoying all this talk about pets today. It's just been a very fun yet and learned a little bit about dogs too. I used to have a dog, a wonderful little Boston Terrier. Oh, she was so playful and she was so affectionate and she always looked at me a little cross sideways. You really know what you're talking about? And I understand that there's a reason why they look a little sideways like that. It's always making me laugh. But yeah, definitely a cat person these days. You know, cats don't bark. They're not aggressive. They're generally pretty easy to get along with. But yeah, you don't own cats. You have a relationship with cats. You don't own your cat any more than you own your girlfriend.

I like the analogy. That's really good. Yeah, well, of course, cats don't bark, that's for sure. They definitely are a lot quieter than dogs. But you might have heard me mentioning earlier because, of course, our puppy, Odin, when we first got him, he was so quiet. He was absolutely classical and everything else. But he never made too much noise. But just over the last three weeks, and especially over the last week, he's definitely found his voice. He always had a wee kind of squeak and squeal and all the rest here and there. He was looking for his dinner and whatever. But, yeah, he's found a bark. I mean, I know he is actually quite big for being only six months old. But when I answered the door, we had trick and treaters here we haven't had for years. And I was at the door with these three wee cats, their moms, and in the background I heard this big woof, woof, woof. And they're kind of, oh, I said, it's okay, that's just Odin. He's just a puppy. He's just a six month old Labrador. And they're, oh, I've got a Labrador. I said, oh, good, good, good. And then one of the other kids says, I've got a dog. And the other kid says, oh, what sort of dog do you have? He's a Rockwiler. I said, all right, okay, have extra candy. But, yeah, there we go. But Odin's definitely developing a real kind of good bark there. So, yeah, definitely if anybody's thinking about kind of entering into the property here without any permission, I think they'll think twice. And he's only six months old. What's it going to be like when he's two years old? We'll just have to wait and see. He keeps on growing. Roy, when is he going to stop? Anyway, good to hear you there, Roy. And tell us more.

Labs are just really good dogs. They're just very good dogs. And yeah, a dog, like I was saying on my net, I was looking at that picture of that very cute puppy with the really big feet. And yeah, I guess big feet equate to a big bark. I know some very close friends of mine got a black lab a few years back, and here the last couple years they got another puppy, an even bigger lab. And I tell you, if that dog barks right behind me, I'm going to drop my beer probably. Yeah, they can definitely have a pretty impressive bark. I wouldn't want to mess with one of those dogs if I was the enemy, but boy it sure is good to have them for a friend, is it not?

Anyway Roy, great to have you on board, it's great to hear you, and of course normally at this time in the IRN KV1 Multimode Net we would have GW8-SIDL, so just a wee announcement for those that are listening saying, where is Dave? You're leaving it awful late to bring Dave in. Well Dave has kind of lost his voice, well at least he's maybe not completely lost, but I think if he tried to speak for more than two or three minutes it would definitely be lost. So Dave's there, he's monitoring, he's looking after the connections, making sure everything's running smoothly, I do appreciate that. So GW8-SIDL is here, but we just haven't heard from him yet, you never know, you might hear a wee squeak, you just never know. But in the meantime, just wanted to let people know that. Anyway Roy, what else is going on, and any nets are you... Oh I was going to ask you, of course we're now into, goodness me, tomorrow, tomorrow it's November, and of course all the kind of dark skies and everything else, the longer nights, and goodness me, so is this kind of like a buzz time of the year for you, is it all kind of excitement, because you're a fantastic, fantastic photographer, what do you call it again, astrophotography, and you're up there with the best, honestly, your images are absolutely incredible. So this time of year, and you have the longer dark nights and everything else, is it kind of like really exciting, and you're thinking, hey, what am I going to plan and what am I going to catch this year, so yeah, I don't know, maybe I'm just over excited for you, and you're saying, oh, listen, listen, I don't know, you can tell me more, KI7PKL, back to you sir."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-31T15:32:53+00:00","id":73253,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73252,"text":" Well, I'll tell you what would make me very excited if we had a nice week of clear nights so you know when we have a new moon, but Yeah, a little bit of a struggle and we're still struggling with smoke There were a few nights here recently I would have liked to have been out but it was just too smoke too much smoke for me and you know It doesn't take very much of that to really do great things. So I I rather than get frustrated I kept the telescope in and didn't set it up, but Man, I would really like there's one of the comments You know using comments are too low to the horizon. I can't give them for the trees, but Comets one. It's yeah, it's fading but it's still there and it's in a great spot. I can get it with my telescope Just too much smoke But anyway looking forward to better things to come this way And some of the very cool deep sky objects are in the winter sky Of course being in the winter sky also makes them very elusive because as you know living in the UK During the winter. We just don't get a lot of clear nights. And so it's very hit and miss but oh what we do is just magic and It also helps to have a smart telescope So you can go out and set it up and get into the lines and then go back inside And you don't have to go back outside the whole rest of the night because it it all can run remotely and You know, you really appreciate that during the winter time you really do.

Hey, listen, a couple of questions there because I did hear you not so much timing out, but I did hear your timeout timer on your Alaska Morning Net earlier today. I'm just wondering, have you got your timer set for maybe two and a half minutes or two minutes and 45 seconds? Because you can still manage to get a few words in after the timeout timer and warning there. So maybe you don't set it. I set mine to three minutes, so I know if it goes beep, beep, beep, beep, I'm done for. You still managed to kind of steal a few more seconds, so I wonder what's your timeout timer set to? And also it's the same kind of timeout timer that I've got on my Yesu radio. So are you using a Yesu radio? I'm not too sure. There's a couple of questions for you. Actually, I do have another one finally coming here because I'll pass it back to you for any final comments. So there's those questions. And also, did I hear you mentioning earlier that you've got a pleasant patient coming up? Now, I don't think that's on air, but maybe you're being part of the TechNet again quite soon as well. So anyway, basically I'm opening up the floor there, Roy. If there's anything you want to share and advertise and that people can come along and attend and learn stuff, that'd be fantastic.

This is the one with the audio signal processing, which is pretty darn cool. Although I must admit that if you get a signal so gnarly that you can't read it, it will just get nothing with the audio signal processing. However, there's one repeater where I'm getting an awful lot of noise from somewhere, and I turn that on and it just makes it so much easier to listen to. Because it just gets rid of a lot of the annoying noise. So I'm very happy with this radio. I've had it for probably about a month or so now. And another neat thing about it is that the head unit connects with just a regular Cat 6 cable. And on this radio the head unit has a speaker and it also has a microphone.

And yes, I will send you a link. Yes. In our church, we're the only Sabbath school class that still does Zoom. Some of them started doing that during, I think a lot of them did during COVID. And we're the only one that still does it, but we usually have two or three people up on, like one couple they live up on the mountain. It's just a long drive and a couple of other people for whatever reason. And if you're very rainy Saturday morning, yeah, I'm on Zoom too. I don't want to get all wet. You're walking down there and back. So yes, I will send you a link and hey, you are invited. We'd love to have you.

So the next weekend came up and my brother came by my mother's house and borrowed some of her clothes and things and dressed up like a woman and a hat and purse and gloves and everything. So we decided they were going to stop at a liquor store on the way to the party. Now remember this is a week after Halloween. So we followed them in our car to watch him go into the liquor store dressed as a woman and he went in there and we were sitting in the car watching and laughing our asses off. I'm telling you it was so funny because he played the part and the people in the liquor store, the clerks, they just were not too sure about what was going on or who this person was or was it a woman, was it a man, was it an ugly woman, you know, what was it? But we have laughed and laughed about that for years. So anyway, it sounds like y'all like to have fun like we do. So that's a good thing. Our brother's nickname is Bubba. When Bubba acts up we remind him about dressing like a woman. KY4NB over to you, Graham and the net. Thanks for the check in. We appreciate it. Happy Halloween everybody.

People please indulge. I've got one more story. You know of course Helen Queen of Scotland is my second wife and I'm going to tell a wee story about how I grew up my first wife. And yeah, again preparing for a school Halloween party. And once again I was looking towards dressing up as a woman. I don't know, the rumours will start just kind of far too frequent. But anyway I was looking for a dress and I wasn't too sure what sort of size I would be. And so I ended up looking at the various things and I said the size 22 or 24 would suit you. So I said okay fine. So I went into the secondhand shop and I had my first wife with me and we were wandering around and looking around and they found us a size 22 dress. And I said I think that will work. And they went over to the counter to pay for it. And the woman looked at us and the dress and she goes okay. And she looked at my wife at the time, not Helen, my wife at the time and she says by the way we do have some new maternity dresses. They have just arrived. If you want to go around the back I can show you them. And my first wife at that time looked at her and looked at me and said I'm not pregnant and the dress is for him. So there we go. So there was a little bit of a pause in the conversation and I just said so how much will that be? And kind of moved on. There we go. That's another wee Halloween story. Anyway Scott, Robbie Lee do you have anything else before we move on? We've got two brand new checkers in there. Mark and Robert thanks for hanging around. KY4NB just back to you one more time quickly before we go and catch these guys."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-10-31T16:16:20+00:00","id":73288,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73287,"text":" Okay, while for Andy returning, maybe that's why the first marriage ended there, Graham, when you stand in there and you're with her and you're buying a dress.

So we gave a lot of sweets out for the kids and within an hour we had those twenty-four of us and the sweet tin was empty. So it's what the American friends in America call candy, we call them sweets. So yep it was empty within an hour. So we had to put a sign on the door saying sorry no sweets available. So that was good, we had a couple of calls after that but we just didn't answer the door. I was getting a bit fed with it by then. I didn't wear a costume because I'm scary anyway so yeah I didn't really need a costume. My granddaughters went out and her friend they came back with each had a kilo weight in of bags of sweets and apples that accumulated down the street there. So that was really good.

Yeah yeah it's funny though cause when I checked in last night for some reason my reception didn't come in at all you said you missed a big chunk of it. I was out in my shed and I used a different antenna out there so who knows what it was. I was out banging copper and checking in anyway. Oh boy I sure am glad to see it's gotten a little bit drier out there than what I feared it would be and while I spent the whole day like really feeling sad for the children that would be missing out on a Halloween if it poured rain in the heat towards the evening when I was driving home and saw parents with their kids on the street I started feeling bad for the parents even more than the kids. Anyway I hope little Leo is having a blast tonight with your sister and yeah and everyone else out there I hope everyone is too. Oh Kim has had zero candy. I went to Fred Meyer to get some stuff to pick up some things and every cashier was handing out candy so I had a whole handful of Reese's peanut butter cups and then I just came from the temple where somebody was handing out a basket of candy and I got a whole bunch of Kit Kats so I'm wired up now.

They live in a more kind of, there's a lot more kids in that area in Tacoma and so they went and had spaghetti dinner and are just stuffing themselves with I think, I think Karen made like chocolate chip muffins and then candy and Rhea and Leo just threw together makeshift costumes that would work in the rain so they cut up some old PJs and put on makeup and they were wet zombies so that is their costume. And I got a handful of, I've got a handful of trick-or-treaters over here. They were all wearing kind of like a clear tarps. I think they were wearing kind of plastic bags but it worked. There were some great costumes. There was a great dragon that had like these homemade wings. It was cool but anyway I love Halloween. Thank you so much. Thank you so much both of you.

Please come ahead with your report. Well good evening, this is KA9EHC and in Seattle. Good evening to everyone on the internet. So I didn't do a lot and we had no trick-or-treaters. I am not actually surprised. We get fewer every year. I have one weakness and that is Milky Way bars. I used to be really fond of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups until I started eating Lily's Peanut Butter Cups which are sweetened with an artificial sweetener that I can't taste as well as sugar. So to me the chocolate is almost bitter and they actually have almost real peanut butter in them. And if you've gotten used to those peanut butter cups the Reese's ones are just insipid. I don't care for those anymore but Milky Way bars that's another thing. So I have eaten more than my share of Milky Way bars and for the beer tonight I drank a can of mashing pumpkin ale which just seemed very appropriate for Halloween. And let's see I got more work done on my scenes. I think I finally have the emotional little communication that with her ship that I really want for Raquel in order to make what happens in her in the captivity scenes that are the center of this book. You have to make those make sense because they won't otherwise. And so I got most of that done even with an obstreperous collaborator who raises completely irrelevant points at the worst times. You get a complete picture of the room in your head and you're going through it and then somebody says something irrelevant and you lose the entire picture and have to build it again and hope you did it the same way the second time. This makes me crazy and I can't seem to make other people understand anyway but we got it done and now I'm ready to sit and listen to the net and then get ready for bed. 73 33 88. Thank you all.

So although there are a few adults that do do it. But that's only because, you know, they want to get out there and have fun. They feel young and they decide, okay, maybe I should so they dress up. And they take their kids everywhere and trick or treat, just like they do. I'm sure there's a few parents out there that do that. So what am I doing? I'm sitting here on the microphone talking to you and everybody else because it's fun and because all I have yet to bow, salty wall, big. And speaking of someone having beer, maybe if they just give it food safe flavored dye or something close to it that's food safe, they can call it something else instead of beer. So who knows?

So she always went trick-or-treating like during the summer, during the winter, during the fall and people would give her candy. She was cute. But yeah, I definitely do understand pets. That is so show. I have two cats who are locked in my room right now. I didn't want them getting all weird about people at the house. So I just left them upstairs. And yeah, they're happy and fed.

Yeah, just here in the Bay Area it was nice out and sunny and the squirrels were running around enjoying the peanuts and nuts I put out there and chasing each other and generating these squirrels. Always entertaining, every dull moment. And yeah, I'm just trying to think of something else going on. No, I think that's about it for tonight. I said I'm a little burned out so my mind's a little blank. But oh yeah, I've just been watching the weather up in Seattle and you guys had a lot of rain from what the weather gauge is telling me.

Kimmy here, KJ7RAB. We went up to Burlington and you know it's interesting to me because I, as a kid, when I first moved to Washington State from California, we moved to Mount Vernon and it was a completely different planet for me because I grew up in the Mojave Desert and coming from there to Washington State, we arrived I think around September and so you know it was a really dry arid climate down there and coming up here, we didn't see the sun for months and everything was wet because it was rainy season, I'd never seen a flood before. All that to say, I don't know where I'm going with this, but Mount Vernon is very close to Burlington. Burlington was never the place that was like the center of what was going on, but now it seems like there's a lot of places popping up in Burlington that are really quite something and we went there tonight because there was a new speakeasy that opened that one of Robert's coworkers told us about. I can't remember the name of it, but I'll get back to you on that. There's a restaurant up there that we really like called the Train Wreck. It's kind of a train wreck, open to speakeasy, it's about a block away and it's on a side street and you walk in and there's, it looks like a barber shop, there's a little barber's chair and an old cash register, two restrooms and a cigarette machine. You need to pull the right, the correct lever on the cigarette machine to open the door to the speakeasy. It took us a minute to figure out how to get in and once we did, then we were able to get in and see the place and it was lovely. We went there and had just hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail and then went over to the train wreck for dinner because we really liked the food there and the people and all of that. The people that were sitting at the table behind us, Robert thought that he knew the person, but he was hesitant to say hello and so he was with no shame. I approached them and said, hey, you know, I'm sorry to interrupt, my fantastic partner here thinks he knows you and he's too chicken to say hi. And of course it was the person Robert thought it was and so they did know each other and got to say hi. But I said, you can't leave here without saying hi because it will bug you forever if you don't. Also, we thought about you, Jeff, because we watched the end of the game and so we knew that you'd be happy about that outcome. Thanks so much for hosting, Rebecca.

And then I had, it was called a drunken waffle. And I don't know why they called it that, but it was, and I didn't, I didn't really know what I was getting into, but my mind exploded when it showed up. It was an actual waffle made out of stuffing. On top of the waffle was mashed potatoes, turkey, gravy, with a side of cranberry sauce. Wow. It was better than the brochure. Robert had a grilled cheese and tomato soup.

And I am going to for the very first time see live the Pirates of Penzance by Gilbrich and Sullivan. And you know I got such a kick of it in my earlier years I even had a multi LP set of an audio recording of the Pirates of Penzance. And I talked, I'm working on this for ten seconds before I have to shut up and say this is Kilo X-ray 2 Charlie Whiskey 33. All the numbers back to that. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November Quebec November. Leo and Leah and Valentine went to see that opera at family day last Sunday and loved it. Loved it so much. I don't know if you know this but minions have covered some of the songs from Pirates of Penzance so Leo thought that was the coolest. But anyway they loved it. We loved it.

What's up Hunter? Well hi Rebecca. It's been fun. More experimentation and learning. Been playing around with more NFC stuff. One of the guys that works at the shop actually has an iPhone so I can test it on an iPhone and Android. I found out you can do cool tricks and stack data together. So I found out you can stack. Like what I did, I made a bunch of key tags that people can basically tap to connect to the shop. And on the key tag is a text element stacked on top of a phone number, stacked on top of a link. And what you get is when you tap it with your phone it says the shop name, tap system. And then choose call or whip. And then below it has the option to call or go to the website. So yeah that's been pretty cool. I also found out that different chips respond in different ways. Like the stickers with the little PCB antenna have to be really close. You have to actually touch your phone to it. It has to be right on the antenna. So the key tags of the copper wire antenna will actually read from a good two inches away. And you don't have to be directly in front of the antenna. Which is kind of cool. I mean the whole NFC thing of the chip being powered off of the pulse from the reader is wild to me and cool. And the fact that I can transmit data with it on a passive chip like this is even cooler. And yeah, it's fun to experiment with. Especially doing what I'm doing in a business application here. Allowing customers to have the option of a key chain they just tap their phone to to be able to directly connect to the shop via internet or phone. Whatever way they choose. And same with checking in their car when they get to the shop. They just tap their phone on the wall on the right spot and then check them in. Because you can pass long contacts across this NFC easily. For text data or numerical data. It's honestly fun. It's so cheap to play with. The NFC tags and chips that I use are... The stickers are 9 cents and the key chains are 15 cents. So it doesn't even cost a lot. And you can program them with your phone too. So definitely a fun experiment. This is KK7NQN.

If I'm on the Friday night yet, it means it's Friday night, doing my usual thing, got Donnie's Jibing and Dives on, watching Josh Hurley do his thing, and talking to you Rebecca and just kind of chilling out a little bit. I don't have any ice cream this time around. We've had our first really good taste of chilly weather this week. We had a cold front come through earlier this week, and we actually experienced our first temperatures below 60 degrees. It was yesterday was like 55 degrees for a low. It was 57 this morning, and it didn't get above 70. We're supposed to be getting a little bit of rain tomorrow with another front. It won't lower our temperatures anymore. We're supposed to be going into kind of a warming trend, but we are getting some rain that we need because it's been pretty dry lately. Thankfully, I'm feeling for the people over in Jamaica and Haiti that were experiencing a hurricane, that the reports from there seem pretty awful over there. I just hope that they can get the help that they need and get back on their feet. I'm doing that at just putting it in my house, trying to get a little more organization into my life. If I have a desk in my room that doubles as a dresser, there's more products on it for grooming products and things on there, and there are actually things that I can work and use for productivity, although I don't do much of that in that room anyway. I do most of it in the living room. I have a second bedroom that I'm asking to call an office, which is more of a catchall these days. So I find most of the time I do the majority of stuff in the living room. But beyond that, well, everything else is pretty copacetic. But that's all I have this time around. Thanks for hosting that. I hope you're doing well.

Well I'm on my second pint mug of Lapsong Souchong, very strong tea. Ah dear, I'm trying to think, it's pitch black over here, what 4.55, coming up to 5am over here. But yeah, it's all antenna work, I was listening to the net and fascinated by all the Halloween things. Having brought up four kids, it's been an awful lot of Halloween, but I mean they're all in their 40s now, they've got their own kids. They're all doing their own Halloween thing now so we don't bother with it anymore. Most of the little black I live in, 326 houses and most of the young children have now grown up so we don't really get trick or treating up here anymore. It's all a bit of a non-event unfortunately, I used to probably enjoy it. But yeah, I've taken down the picture off the QRZ of the Halloween pumpkin, I've put up those as a seasonal thing. But yeah, hopefully the rain will stop off today and I can go and load the back of the one yet again. Of course I've done it for the last time this year but it's decided to grow again now so I'm going to have to do that and get out and do some antenna work. So yeah, I've decided to have a bit of a review of the year for what I've been doing with RadioWise. I think this is probably my most radioactive year since I joined the hobby. So in 12 years I've done so much stuff on the radio it's untrue. We'll have to do some more, I'll have to finally get round to setting up the FT8 and trying that out, it doesn't really appeal to me. I've got a radio that will do it so the iCom IC7300 which is already set up for things like the FT8. I need to do it, I can say I've done it and that's it and I need to crack on with the Morse code. And I need to sit down and start reading the syllabus book for the full license over here. I need to get that moving as soon as possible. So yeah, I need to crack on with that. But yeah, lovely to hear everybody in the Halloween store isn't it? It certainly starts my day off on a very positive note. So yeah, I really enjoy the net and thank you guys that do the net control for running these things, it's fantastic. In Seattle I'll probably volunteer my services but as I say unless I come to Seattle I don't think that's ever going to happen. So with that, I've got a lot of help to record here. I'll pass it back to net control and wish everybody a fantastic Saturday. Oh no sorry, it's still Friday over there. So hopefully have a nice weekend guys. I forget sometimes we're a little bit ahead of you here. We're 8 hours older than you guys. No 7 sorry, because we moved our clock last weekend so I'm actually an hour younger than I used to be.

I'm going to work the whole winter because I know that winter would be a terrible time for me to start retirement. It really would. Because all my hobbies require me to be kind of outside. But like it was like yesterday, I went to the VA hospital, or not the hospital, but the clinic. And it is so wild, Brian. You go there and in that area there's a concentration of homeless people. So you're seeing them on every street corner and everything else. But once you get to the VA hospital, the grounds are gorgeous. They got gardens and everything else, right? And so I went in and did my thing and I came out. I brought my camera with me this time. And believe it or not, there was quite a few fall plants still blooming. And so when I got done I went outside and I walked the garden and I walked through little planetariums and everything else. And I stayed there for almost two hours taking pictures. I loved it. And you know, so I got a hobby that I love. And I love photography. I'm not the best at it, but it's something I like to do. And now I'm getting into videography too. So just these two things alone probably will keep me busy enough, at least during the spring, summer and fall events. And who the hell knows, I don't know what I'm going to do.

And the next time I heard from him was like a day or two later. I just heard this in a group session. He had crashed one time, then he crashed another time. I think it was with the one. He said he was smaller than me. I think he called it a DGI Mini or something like that. He hasn't even taken it out of the box yet. I mean, hey, why not take it out of the box and crash both of them? It's just like RC, remote control airplanes. We have a RC Park not too far from here. And I enjoy going over there and flying, watching them fly. I also enjoy watching them crash. And I mean, they had some pretty expensive planes out there that went belly up and there went $1,000. Now I did try flying. I used to have a program with my computer where I even had the flight controller, what do you call it? It had all the buttons and everything on it. And you could pick parts that you'd want to fly in and pick the plane that you want. And I practiced that for over a year and a half. And I got really good at it.

Well, he just showed up just right at seven and usually he's late. So, most of the time I figure, okay, well, at least that week I figured I would have time to do the net then make him. So, I had to rush big time when the net was over because he was just at the door and then my dad was calling and calling and calling because calling once isn't enough. He's got to do it 10,000 times. So, I was really pissed when I finally went up there. I was like, listen, if I'm on the air, shut up. I hear you calling. You don't need to call 10,000 times. Once is good enough. I have amazing hearing and you don't have to keep doing that. I was all prepared to say something like that and then it turns out, no, no. He's like, your man is here. What are you going to do about it? So, that was that. I ended up forgetting my cane and then as soon as I got to the place, they gave me like an improvised cane because they had like all these antennas set up. I got to use one of the, they had this collapsible antenna that ended up sort of being almost kind of like a folding cave. So, it was just like a walk around the premises and most of the time it was so I could have a place to leak because there were no washrooms or facilities and I'm glad I brought my candies along because nobody had the sense to really bring any water or anything. I mean, we were totally far away from civilization. We were in the depths of the park, the Camber Valley Park. And anyone who knows Camber Valley, the river, Camber Valley River has made the news because people keep throwing stuff into it like they highlighted, I don't know if they, at some point they were threatening to put their names out, but they highlighted these two guys that were pouring oil and garbage and other things into the Camber Valley River. Camber River, Camber River. I got to say it right. You can tell I don't live here. So, that has been in the news, the people throwing things in that river. And at one point last week, Robert joked that I should go there and take a drink. He said, because I said, did you guys bring any water? No. But there's water across if you walk to it. You could probably drink out of that. Okay, that's okay. That's what I brought my candies for. So, they're heat score and they're in the news. Alright, hold on. Let's get you on a new page here. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. You can hear me scrolling along and trolling along with my speech, but that's how I do things. This isn't the blinky blink conference, so I'm allowed to. Alright, over there it would be like a federal case. When you get on their conference server, the first thing you see is that you're supposed to mute all of your text to speech and all that sort of stuff. Because they don't stink, I guess. You know, they have holes in their head where their eyes would be, but they're different. They're a higher brow type of difference. They're disabled, but they're differently disabled. Stupid mofos. Okay, so, as I said, Fresh Page has been started. I talked on purpose longer since I came in early. It's almost like, what's the point, right? But I did it. So, I did it on purpose, so you have your chance. So, check in now. This is VA3KKY. You probably know that I'm not controlling. What else would I be here for? So, come now, please."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T04:34:52+00:00","id":73469,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73468,"text":" They see to PKG and don't threaten me Kevin."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T04:35:05+00:00","id":73470,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73469,"text":" I have an excuse.

And so I don't think there's really much that's going to be happening this weekend, to be honest with you. I've been doing a little research on lighting. Yesterday I went out and did a whole bunch of photography at my local VA. They have a garden out there, and surprisingly, so their fall flowers were still blooming. They weren't dead yet. And there was quite a bit of mildew, so I got a lot of water drops on the pedals and stuff like that. So I did that for like two hours yesterday after I got done with the doctor there. Thought that was kind of fun. So today I'm looking for some lighting to do some video. And it has to be portable. And we'll see what happens. It's going to take a little bit, I guess. I don't know exactly what to use. I want something that gives me variable Kelvin warmth. Something from like 2,500 to 9,000K, make it all too bright and change the colors. Color change is really nice. You can add reds or greens or blues into when you're taking the picture or doing the video. I can look all goth if I wanted to, I guess. But let's see what else is going on. Let me do a reset real quick."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T04:44:37+00:00","id":73478,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73477,"text":" Halloween came and went. We did, we got, it was all right because my wife, or not my wife, my daughter and her grandfather came over with my grandson last night and they took me, they had a golf cart. And so we didn't have to walk anywhere. It was the first time in my whole life that we could all get on board and just go from house to house and watch our grandson, you know, get his candy and whatever, trick or treat. And that was pretty cool. But my grandson, he's not, he likes Halloween, but he's not, he's not really a real go getter at it. And we did maybe 10, 12 houses and he had a small bag of candy. He says, you know what? I got enough. Let's go, let's go home. So it was interesting, you know, me when I was a kid, man, I'd go after that candy. We would, we would, we would try to hit houses twice if we could get our year supply. And then he got a few Kit Kats and he was happy. There wasn't really a lot of people around and we maybe saw a hundred other trick or treaters out on the streets in our neighborhood. So you know, that wasn't too bad. When they came to our house, not the trick or treaters, but when we came and we left the door open and all the trick or treaters started coming and showing up on our doorstep, even with the lights off, my wife had made sure we had plenty of Rice Krispie treats and things like that to give out to the ones that were bold enough to come up to our house when all the lights are off. Right. So anyhow, that's basically it for this round. I'll turn it back to that control. KB0MAI. Okay. And I did write an exclusive for you guys on the screen if you want to read your screens. If you need to check in that way, you certainly can. I was kind of inspired by a few things. I was talking to my friend Debbie yesterday. You know what she wanted us to do for Halloween evening was she wanted us to parade around as older teenagers and go trick or treating. And then I was like, I could buy a lot more candy than you can get that way. Forget it. I'm not doing that. She said, we're little enough that we could pull it off. And she said, she wanted to find somebody crazy enough that would do it because usually most people don't go with her notions. Well, I could see why. That's insane. That's insane. How would we look if we ever pulled that? I would hope not. Okay. Well, that's not to me. All right. So, I mean, I would just hope not. So I'm thinking that that'll kill a couple of rounds. You can answer whenever you want. I'll ask on the next round as well. So I did put it up on the screen. Yeah. She was like, she was like, come on, let's go. Right. She knows I'll do mostly anything. She has, she's Marcia's sister. Like I really like her, but no, no, that's funny. It is kind of funny. Like I just trying to imagine. When was the last time I actually even went? I really was in my teen years. I don't knock on doors. We actually, you know, even with the lights off yesterday, we had one or two people ringing the bell, but I knew right away what it was for. My dad can't hear. So we, we want it pass. Of course we did hear a couple of, a couple of rings. Somebody rang the doorbell once or twice, despite the fact that we weren't putting up candy, but yeah, I'm thinking like, well, if not today, definitely within a few days, places like city Mart and a few others will be getting rid of candy. So I could get tons of it and, and that's why I'm Gabby's missing childhood. Well, you know, and you look, it wasn't really allowed in my house either. I just don't think I'm regressing back to that, but Hey, be my guest. That's what you want to do. Bill over to you. Second one on the list. Y'all got four names.

Hi Kevin. Good getting you out here. I knew there was going to be a Kevin on the net this morning. Yep, I'm with the yard picking up our next load. It's got three deliveries done in Vegas, one over in Frump. As they say in Vegas, over the hump to Frump. That's where, what's his name used to live before he passed away. Art Bell, there you go. I see his memorial over there. I think I took pictures of it one time and posted it. So we're doing that. We got those four deliveries. Still got to get out the yard here. I just hooked up to the trailer, did my pre-trip. I was bringing up the landing gear when you called for check-ins and I heard just nothing but crickets and then the biggest cricket of them all, George. And I said, I got to jump in here too. I can't let George out cricket me. So I'm here. Then we got Gray and D, not necessarily in that order. But I said I'd go over the scale, figure out how my load weighs out and adjust the wheels accordingly. Lock them in and then head south. We'll probably drive down to Springville about two hours away. A little bit over two. A little bit under two. And we'll stop there, grab showers and switch drivers and I'll get some sleep. I didn't get a lot of sleep yesterday. I ended up having to stop. I drove back from Price after missing my turn. I ended up going an extra, what is it, maybe 16 miles. Out of route because I went the wrong way and wasn't happy about that. But you know, it happens sometimes. George can attest. But I made it over the hill to the canyon there in Price and got tired. So I stopped at the Love's in Springville and grabbed two hours sleep before I made it back up here. But that's what happened. They gave us two trips yesterday with two stops, one with three stops. So there wasn't any time to get any sleep except for maybe an hour here and a half hour there. So a long day yesterday and just wasn't up to doing it all night. But I'm good now. And I got my load and since I scaled I couldn't get going. So with that I'll pass it back to you because here's the scale. And I know it's you. Okay, and as I'm remembering now that I didn't even spit out the question at all. But anyways, yeah, because I'm just thinking who does that? That's what I thought of asking. So I did ask, have you ever received Halloween candy with blades and knives in them? Did I say that? It doesn't seem like I said anything like that. I just said about it being on the screen and I wrote the answer. I just kind of wondered who does that? I mean, like, okay, you could spike food and you could spike candies. But we used to be warned as kids about that. But even when, like, our parents went through, and I mean my dorm parents, my parents absolutely hated Halloween. But so I mean the only time I got to actually do it was at school, at the boarding school. So the dorm parents would check the bags that the kids brought in. Who the hell had a spiked bag? I don't even remember even once it happening. So it was, I was kind of, I just kind of thought of that. And it was the closest to me having a Halloween question, probably after the fact. Right, by the way, don't forget to change your clocks tonight. So I'm sure if I didn't tell you, you would know, right? So, okay, thanks a lot, Bill. Yep, somehow I knew you'd be there too. Over to D. D in Florida. Over to you, Anna Blaise."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T04:49:22+00:00","id":73480,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73479,"text":" Good morning everyone, this is KN4LBS, this is Dee.

And I'll tell you, Thanksgiving, because of things like that, Thanksgiving, I'm sorry, Halloween, because of things like that, has gotten really dull. I mean, you know, when I lived in Morris County, there were lots of kids around, stuff like that. And sometime in the early 80s they started doing Halloween parties in their homes and not going out trick-or-treating. And it became a whole different holiday. It was so different and so weird. I remember running around through the woods in the dark and stuff like that. That was fun. That was really fun. And you know, coming back with a shopping cart full of candy. That was pretty awesome. But I did have some friends whose parents confiscated all the candy. When they got home, it went into the closet or got hidden away. And they would dole it out as they saw fit. And a lot of it got thrown out too. So pretty wild. Anyway, back to you. Kevin, thank you so much for picking up yet another Saturday. This is a great thing. KC2PKG back to you. VA3KKY.

Okay just wanted to make sure and yeah well we'd always been told about it and of course too with kids. I mean you're knocking on strangers doors. I mean you're almost kind of doing like just going against the grain of what you're kind of told not to do right. But then you get like that particular night Halloween night you get that waiver. You just go around knocking on doors. So it just occurred to me. Do people actually do that? I mean they could dope you up and give you roofies but do they go out of their way to really actually put something in the candy? So it just occurred to me I just wondered. So yep you guys could do what you want with that. One of my favorite candies that no one likes is the Big Turk. Turkest Delight. Those are great. I didn't get any this year. I didn't buy the looking if anyone had any but those are good candies to me. And for those that don't know I don't really know how to describe them. They kind of have this jelly kind of chewy substance inside the chocolate bar. It's got like a very chewy almost like when you have when you if you've ever eaten jujus. It's got that texture and it's a very chewy candy. Very gummy very chewy. So I like the Big Turks but not everybody does. Another good bar someone asked me about if it was around I have no idea are the Eat Mores. I barely even remember them. I know there's people that are fans of those. I don't know if they're still around. That would be a good question. Yeah the people like the old school candies I guess right. So but I have no idea. Okay well I'm happy about our round. It's we're in better shape than I originally thought. So that's good we'll roll with it. I am at the bottom of the list. We have four names so far but we are definitely waiting to get more names on the list. So if you'd like to check in I'm a little bit more awake now. Coffee and the Tylenol is kicking in the codeine.

Because they're kids. And so, the show and the skit starts off where the beavers are trick or treating, right? And they're little 12, 14 year olds.

Or maybe I picked up a bug from one of those little kids. But we had 46 kids with candy. And let's see what else. I did get up. I said I had two breakfasts. I did my Morse code fix. So that should make me feel pretty good, I think. And I did talk to several people that way. Single side band and over here, of course, with the new mode here of digital audio. Let's see what else.

I think it would be super interesting to have an AI generated Art Bell and to pick up the topics or recover the topics that Art Bell covered. I would also be very interested in listening to a replay of Art Bell's shows in chronological order in which they began. So with that I'm going to try and get some coffee going here in South Georgia. Let the dog back in. Back to Net Control KI4MHY. Jeff will give you a call again. I used to a long time ago when there were like a million channels on Shellcast, I would listen to the best ofs. I love when he does the EVPs, the extra whatever the hell it is. You know what it is. So I love when he does those. I like when he talks about ham radio obviously, doing that ham radio operator, but I like to hear what he goes through. One thing Art used to constantly complain about, which was really hilarious because tons of people did, was the, I think it was the Horizon radar and it would cause this noise, this Woody Woodpecker kind of noise, that's what he called it anyways, through the HF fans that was planking him. For me it planked sort of like the above and below 10 meters because when he complained about it at the time I was more into the extra channels on CB. So yeah when you got on the above 40 you'd always hear this rattling noise, right? And everyone heard it and it walked a lot of things and it just seemed to be intermittent, right? Like you would hear it, it was directional. It would go away and come back, go away and come back. I guess it affected him far enough on the HF bands that he complained about it, it was planking him. One thing that affects the HF bands in Toronto, I don't know if it affects anyone else, is on 40 meters the nickname for it is the Streetcar Band because what you'll hear a lot of times through the day is the harmonics from the subways and streetcars. One example is sometimes even just riding on a taxi, if a streetcar gets behind us and I'm listening, if I happen to have the AM radio on you actually hear the streetcar right behind you and it's coming through AM. So people have complained about it on 40 meters, like 40 meters is not the best band for the short distance through the daytime in Toronto. So just out of nowhere, like you could be tuning around 7.0 and 7.1 and suddenly and it gets louder and louder and louder. So that is one thing that plagues 40 meters and then on 80 meters sometimes what happens is you hear a very similar thing, we kind of call it a whooshing noise, it kind of sounds like a washing machine that you hear through the day. So I guess Art, wherever he happens to be, I'm sure he hears his own version of interference and I've heard him talk about it a lot, it's kind of interesting to hear him lament on it.

Alright, because one of the things I remembered even at the school when we did Halloween, because we don't do it at the house, Dad doesn't like it, Mom doesn't like it, Mom's gone, Dad... doesn't care, he's old and all that now, but... We didn't really observe it at the house, so I remember the dorm parents used to always want to inspect our bags to make sure that it wasn't stamped with metal and all the rest of it.

This camera that I got, this is, I have two cameras, actually three cameras, but this Olympus OM-D10 Mark II. I bought it brand new from a gal that had owned it for 10 years. And it was still in the box. The plastic was on the box. Never been touched. Actually, not 10 years, it's 12 years. And I found it on Facebook. And I contacted her. And she said, yeah, come on over. And so I bought this damn thing. And it has a really good review. It was one of OM-D's better cameras out there. But it wasn't the OM-5 or the OM-1. It's kind of the lowest class setting, more for everyday amateur shooters. But yet, it can go in full manual and stuff like that. And completely made out of metal, just a good solid body. And the screen, instead of it being standard, where it just sits there because you've got a viewfinder screen and an LCD screen on the bottom, some will flip out and you can twist back the other. But this one just comes out and they can flip to a 90 degree angle. So you can take a real low shot and still see what the picture is without you getting on your stomach or anything else. But it's not a sports camera by no means. And so getting decent shots of action on a football field or a soccer field or something like that can be difficult. But it's just amazing that this camera, I paid very damn little for it. And I love old cameras.

Now, when I first got this picture, this one that I'm looking at that I think is pretty cool, my grandson is actually running with the ball, it wasn't good at all. I mean, there was a lot of stuff, so I had to denoise it, adjust it, mask it, bring up the exposure with the people and bring down the colors in the background. It was a sunny day. I was shooting into the sun. A lot of things. So this is the challenge of doing this kind of stuff. And old cameras rock, man. Even my full fan camera is, that's a micro four-thirds of the Olympus, but my other camera is full frame. And it's a seven-year-old camera that I bought used through the Canon website.

And I wanted a camera so my dad figured this was a cheap way to get me a camera. So he did it and I got the camera and it was an Exacta, I think it was Exacta. I had a camera, it was an SLR, I had a camera, had three lenses, three, four lenses, telephoto, a regular, you know, 45, 50 millimeter, 48. And then I think he had a 35 wide angle, or a 28.

There was a teacher's protest going on that day in sweeping the government building. They were protesting. They caught this figure in the doorway. The governor of that part of Mexico said, that's a ghost. There's nobody there. They have internal cameras. Nobody was there. It's not a bedroom or anything like that.

I was looking for a good set of headphones that were better than the ones I had. So I bought these gaming headsets that were ginormous. I even remembered I bought them in London, right? At the, oh, it was one of those walk-in shops. And it was a Sony pair of headphones. I still have those. And then my phone was draining like crazy. And I couldn't really understand it. And as we got to about the middle of the month, Danny Stoler's and Kelly Contreras got fired from AM640. And then I said, see you later. And I haven't listened to talk 640 since. I am so serious about banishing them that yesterday on CKNW, during the 10 o'clock hour, so right in the middle of a show that I'm already listening to. I left. Because they do a cross Canada thing where they feature the different outlets that are across the network. And they do city news stories. They compare stories. And they get people's views from these different cities of these different broadcasters, right? And toxic sporties in that rotation, right? Alex Pierce. Why do I listen to her? Because she took over Kelly's slot. And so I'm kind of mad at her for that. She was supposed to be on the previous slot. And Kelly's supposed to have that slot. So that's how far I take it into it.

I mean the guy was just pretty much right on my doorstep I had to run right out there and say I'm in the washroom. I'm in the shower Give me ten minutes, which basically means I haven't even gotten ready yet and it'll take me ten minutes to pretend That was the real answer That the answer was I was not ready for him. He just Pulled pulled up pulled a surprise So the question I had asked you for your take-home question last week and you can work on this It's photo radar used in your city What do you think of it? Do you dislike it? Do you find it invasive? Now one of the things that's happening Thanks to the Ford government in Ontario is they're doing away with speed traps And there's actually a time frame for when it's supposed to be done. He's just sick of them so he hates photo radar and Manifestations about it and he doesn't feel that it's rectified speeders, you know, it's giving them heads up and little pointers on how to break the rules even more and He's also worried that the wrong people might get these tickets right? Like what happens if you borrow someone else's life? Well, yeah. Well, hey look what happens if you steal someone else's life listen It's on the house they're responsible So so that would have been the quick answer so Sometime this month that is supposed to be going away the speed traps. So I thought I would try that question See what y'all think of it? Okay.

I'm hearing carriers, so I'm guessing that there's people that's trying to make the attempt. So, in the Canberra Valley part last week, we didn't make any contacts. I remember Robert had made a couple of makeshift radios. He actually designed the low-power HF radios that he had. They were good radios. I feel like I almost wouldn't want one. They were little tiny rigs and they were running this loud generator. They had this big generator going with the equipment attached to it. They had these power strips laid right out and they were hanging on a big piece of string suspended into the air. Almost every outlet on the power strips were used. They had radios set up. There was a guy who had an HT. He had that plugged in and he was monitoring some repeater that I didn't even know we could even get here. It was a VE7, but I don't remember what it was. And then there was another guy that had his phone. He was monitoring Echo Inc. and he was monitoring the VE3 POR repeater in Toronto, the Toronto repeater. So that was what was going on. And the funny thing, there was a difference this year and last year. Okay, well, it wasn't exactly last year. A few months back, field day, I remembered Robert because he took me to the thing too. He's usually somebody I go with on events. And he came to Vancouver to attend the PNE. Anyways, he... Well, I said I wanted to bring my... I wanted to bring a couple of blunts and bring my pipe and bring my weed. So he said, no, don't do that. And this time what happened was I didn't say anything. But I had my vape here and no one even cared. So that's good. At least I got that worked out where even when we were in the depths of the park, I was able to sneak vape tokes, which kind of helped. So the mint Kush gave me a little bit of inspiration. So we did make like a sort of attempted few contacts. And then that's how it went. I kind of almost wondered what would happen. See, we tend to do these things during the contest weekend. So I kind of wondered what would happen if we maybe hit on the weekday. It would have been interesting to see that happen to see when people least expect to see what the bands would have been like combing through that. And so there'll be another event. And now next week, I don't remember the location, but Robert and a few others are going to a radio museum. I don't know if I really want to go to that. They're going to look at old relics from the 20s and 30s. It might be an excuse to get out of the house. Who knows? So he did say to give him a shout next Thursday and then we're supposed to drive like 500 miles. Who knows? Maybe we're going to the ostrich farm. Hey, if they're going to whack those ostriches, get one for me for Christmas. It'd be nice to have a Christmas ostrich instead of a Christmas turkey.

George, Bill, and Dee. I think you said that last time and I took it back to you. I'm sorry about that, Kevin. Shows how much I'm paying attention to things. All right. So my friend texted me this morning. I was kind of surprised he didn't text me yesterday, but he says, do you want breakfast this morning? Yeah. I want breakfast this morning. I'm kind of hungry. I'll check my A1C real quick and see what I can eat. Can I have pancakes or am I going to have to stick with an omelet with no fries, no toast? Maybe some tomatoes on the side and you can pour a little Tabasco sauce on them. But I'm still working on these. You hear that? My little baa. Still working on these pictures. I'm having a hard time. I don't know if I want to stick with the colors and the presets I found or go strictly back black and white. I've done about half and half right now. Color, you know, you see everything and you kind of have a broader view. But black and white, you see more of the detail. You're focusing on the people and not so much the colors. Then you have camera lights. Camera, oh, speech. That's what you're talking about, right? Cameras, intersections of lights. You know, that is I can't tell you how many times, like in our city, they have been put in and taken out so many times you can shake a stick at. So They put them in and they make lots of money. And then people get really ticked off. And then they take them to court. And they find it is unconstitutional. And then they take it out. And then they're gone for a year or two. I think last time it's been like 10 years. I haven't seen a light up here anywhere, a camera light anywhere. And now they're putting them back in down in Kansas City again. So it's kind of like they've learned their lesson. They've come up with some other kind of definition to circumvent state constitutional law. And they do it again. And they make money. And then they have to take them out again, that kind of thing. I think that if it's not a cop watching you, then who actually sees it and pulls you over? Kind of, eh, I don't think that should be happening. I mean, I don't know how you guys deal with it. I've literally seen people come up on the light. And they're OK to go, even though it turned yellow or red. But they just weren't paying attention. But yet they're clear. But once they know that that camera's there, I have seen people literally slam on their brakes and cause skid marks on the road. And of course, the person behind them is, you know, usually they're falling too close. And bam, you know, they hit each other. I've seen that happen several times. That has happened to me. I went coming up to the light. Something was in my eyes or something was going on. And then I see that light. And I hit the brakes. Because you do not want to get caught running a red light in a truck, be it the camera there or not. That's called a major offense. And you get two of them. And you lose your license for like five years. But it also does cause problems. Now, if somebody's going through the light and there's nobody going around, is around and still clear, and they did it by mistake, I don't think they should. Actually, I think they did the safe thing. Instead of slamming on the brakes, they continued through the light because they were OK. But that's just my opinion. I'm sure there's all kinds of other people out here that have completely different takes on that. But if it was just a police officer and he was watching the light, which that's part of the damn job anyways, make sure that we're obeying the laws. Instead of him slamming on his brakes, he goes through. The cop falls after him, pulls him over a safe location, gives him a ticket, an eyewitness view. The ticket's here in Missouri and also in Iowa and so forth like that. When they give you that type of ticket, a traffic light ticket, camera ticket, whatever, generally there's another thing that goes along with that. They want you to send them the money, but they don't want you dead in court. And you get to go to court if you want to, but it's just a moneymaker. It's nothing more than a moneymaker. I don't believe safety's involved in this at all. I think injury and accident are the highlight of these lessons that they've learned over the years, and it hasn't changed. So stop putting these cameras up. Get the cops on the street corners to do the damn job. Anyhow, back to you KB-0. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. I apologize. I was going to do it again. It's over to Bill. I'm sure he has a totally different opinion in mind because usually he does.

They put them in the box and then they didn't lock it and somebody came by and discovered that the boxes were not locked and stole the cameras so that didn't go over well and I think they put other ones in and they used it for a little while and I think they decided that it cost more money than it was worth so they took them down and they're not there anymore. El Cajon when I was living there in San Diego they had speed cameras up for a while but there was one incident where a guy ran a red light because he was distracted and the ticket found its way to his house his wife opened up the ticket and saw that her husband had run a red light because he was distracted with a female that wasn't her and she ended up divorcing him and he ended up suing because of the the the problem of having his wife divorce him over a picture of him in a car with another female. Of course there was something going on there that was a definite she just wasn't a passenger in the car someone from work so the wife had proof and had a reason to divorce him but so then they just started zooming in on the face and then after a while I don't think they had the cameras there. you"},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T05:52:31+00:00","id":73526,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73525,"text":" Thank you."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T05:53:41+00:00","id":73527,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73526,"text":" All right, we had some key up.

And the officer will tell you, a lot of times the officers will make whatever they're doing, make the ticket giving or the warning giving last a little bit because every driver that drives by learns the lesson, hey, I've got to be careful in this area. I've got to make sure I do what I'm supposed to do. Otherwise, that could be me the next time. But when you get a ticket in the mail, how does anybody else know? You're only teaching one person instead of 20. So yeah, it's more of a money making thing. I mean, there's still safety involved because if someone's not obeying the law, they end up getting a ticket for it, then they'll be able to obey the law next time or not. Some people just don't care or don't want to. So they do what they want to do. Even when they get a ticket, they say, OK, I got my ticket.

This is KC 2, PK 2, East Matias, Maine, where we don't have any speeding cams or cameras that will catch you running a red light, because we don't have any red lights. There are no traffic lights here. I don't think there's a traffic light for 100 miles. At least I've never seen one. They just don't use them up here. And there's a particular corner in town where they try and get up the energy to have a traffic light about every five years. Somebody suggests it. And nope, not going to do it. So we don't have any traffic lights. Now, when I lived in New Jersey, we had cameras. There were not only stoplight cameras. There were video cameras that were watching the traffic in town. And they put those up about 20 years ago. And I think they were very lucrative for the towns. They could catch people and then hit them with a ticket and do stuff like that. But we don't have the infrastructure or the where the ball or the want for any of that stuff up here, because this is the back country and there's hardly any traffic at all.

And then there's the old fashioned type like my dad who figure that it's the most embarrassing thing to be held in the court. He doesn't even want to be seen anywhere near you. One example of that was when my brother and I would get in trouble or catch cases. He barely wanted to come and pick us up, and when he did, he was always like, let's blow this heat road. He hated it. And so a lot of the problems, a lot of our whippings, because we would go home and get the belt, and it really wasn't because we were in trouble. He didn't care what we did. He didn't want to hear our stories. Just the fact that he felt that he had to pick someone up at court. He acted like as if he was held in the court, and he was always embarrassed. So our whippings was pretty much because of that. It was made clear when we get home, we're going to get in trouble because that's what it is. You're making me heat score coming to get you.

So, I was inspired by that outburst to now ask the gang, Were you worried when it was said that SNAP benefits were going away? Now perhaps you don't want to tell me that, and that's okay, just skip the question then. Just pretend you didn't hear me ask if you don't want to talk to me about it.

Were you worried when it was said that SNAP benefits were going away? And yeah, a couple of these guys, I think they were Seattleers, because that's the only thing that would make sense where they would think we would care. It doesn't affect B.C.ers, people who live in B.C., plural. But people in Seattle, across the pond, would care. And that's how the guys, a few of them, but one guy in particular, his voice was real high-pitched, did you hear? Did you hear? The court struck that down. It's not going to happen. There's not going to be a riot on the street, like he went on later, explaining more to us. There's not going to be a riot, you think. You thought there was going to be this big riot, and people were going to be looting, and stealing, and robbing the stores, because black people all over the place were saying about how they're just going to take over the stores. And if you thought the smash and grabs were bad, this is just as worse, because they're going to grab. Well, they're not going to do it this time. We got an apprieve. They're not going to rob the stores. They're not going to burn the stores down this time. So that was the outburst that I heard when I was just grabbing a few things, lighters, and I needed rubber bands, and some paper envelopes.

And then, you know, does a whole bunch of different things inside the house.

And he sits down on the couch and he's doing something and she comes in behind him and picks up all the Halloween pillows and then puts out all the Christmas pillows.

And she says, you know, the world's tallest elf is the world's grumpiest elf. And then you look back at him and he's in his Christmas sweater and everything. It was a funny little video.

I used to always have two or three jobs, whatever I could do to put food on my table, I did it. You know, I worked in, before I was able to get decent jobs, I had to go and work in hotels and wash toilets. So, for me, not that I should pity anyone, but for me, I really believe that you have to remove your ego and do what you need to do to get a job, McDonald's, whatever it is, I don't care. That's how I was. I went to McDonald's, Arby's, I worked in Arby's, I worked in McDonald's, I worked in hotels, whatever it was, until I was educated. And, um, because I was a young parent, I had my child at 18, and I didn't really think about going on and getting food stamps or anything like that. So, when it comes to this government shutdown, for those people that are really suffering, because I know a lot of them are full-time employees. They're government people that lost their jobs that are going to these food banks. So, different people have different situations, is what I'm saying, too. My situation was different, and so are theirs. But, the government should release some money to these people that are really in dire need. I don't think, for the greatest country in the world, anyone here in this country should be hungry. I don't believe that. So, this is KN4LBS. Yeah, especially not when you know that grocery stores throw away so much stuff, and people, you know, like dumpster dive, and some of the stuff they get, sometimes is even better than stuff people have fresh, right? Because sometimes they could score themselves, you know, a few days old vegetables, and maybe some before, uh, before, best before date kind of bread, and other things like that, just to be able to get by, right? Because just, nowadays, it would be very difficult to starve to death. I mean, you really have to go out of your way to starve to death. So, not when you can survive off some of those throwaways that people sometimes manage to be able to cop. I could give them props for that. I wouldn't be somebody that's digging around out there, but there are people that can come out with way better stuff than I can. Navigating the grocery aisles, that's for sure.

I mean, everybody should experience good food from time to time. But my gosh, I am a working man who has worked for 35 years of my life. Well, 30 years of my life now. And I can't eat like that. And that bothers me personally. I don't think politics plays a part in that. I think personally we should have things built in to help those in need. But it should not be the federal government's responsibility to do so. That's unconstitutional. But again, that's just my personal opinions. We do need something to help these people, though. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying take away the money and let them starve. That is not what I'm saying at all. But charity should fall on local first. Local first. Local communities should be the first line of charity. And that's what you don't see these days. Again, which is my opinions. All right. Well, I'm the last one on the list, so I'll send it back to KKY. So let's go, Kevin. Back to you, buddy. Yep. And 638, 639 now. So I'll be figuring out a way to wind us down gently. And I'll give you a take-home question. But just to comment on a few things earlier, though. And I don't remember who said it, but just the points at least anyways. Well, think of the acronym, right? Now, before I didn't know the acronym. So you know I looked this up, right? But it's something like supplemental nutritional assistance program. Okay, so think of that's what the meaning is, right? That's what the words are, right? Where are Kit Kats and Twixes and should I throw Hungry Man in it? I'm trying to say what do those have to do with nutrition, right? Like I would think nutrition, like your fruits and vegetables, right? And when I grocery shop and I'm not on any of those programs, I'd be kicked out of some of my work benefits if I were to do anything like, or join anything like that because I don't have to. But I buy tons of nutritional things. It's one way I survive. You got to have your fruits and vegetables. So it's already kind of figured in that equation. So where does Yo-Yo's and Ring-Dings and Hostesses and Mae West desserts and Joe Louis, where does that count in the play? Like I would assume even your big steaks and pork chops aren't vastly, hugely a part of it, right? Unless it's like, I don't know, like a beef brisket or a meatloaf. So anything economical, right? Because even like hamburger meat, you can make that way, you can make it work many, many, many, many, many miles than just a few lamb chops or whatever, right? So if they say, if there is a definition somewhere where they're going to take away sweets and chips and all the rest of it, then that would make sense, right? Like I don't imagine you're ordering pizza with your Snapcard, no more than I would imagine you're getting microwave popcorn and other types of processed things, even if you find them pleasant, right? Like, you know, shoot, I have a weakness with chips and salsa and Doritos and all the rest of it. But they're not typically, I don't think that that counts in the nutritional part of the acronym, right? Just something to think about, just wondering. Okay, well, let's do this. So I don't get you guys late for the next net. I don't have to rush away, but I'm just trying to be time sound, all right? So how about we take some last check-ins and will anyone who comes in, we'll consider them in and out and saying hi and bye. And we'll clue them into what will be coming on to the 73 round. And then when they're done, I'll fire you off one last question so you can take a nice little take-home question, all right? And there's a chance I'll probably throw it in the heat and use it again next week. Catch on to me. Okay, so right now, get at me though and come now with your calls."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T06:44:33+00:00","id":73562,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73561,"text":" Okay, no problem.

They sent the ticket to my son because his name was on the title, and he doesn't live here, so he sent it back in with a picture of his driver's license and where he lives. So far, I haven't got it.

This next question was sort of inspired by our little ham activity last week. For those that forget, I was rushing away from the net last week to do antenna day, which took place at Canmer Valley Park and through the week I dissected how that trip went and all of that sort of stuff. We had antenna day. So, your take home gift, and I'll use it again next week as I said, your take home present is, have you ever worked and played radio in another country or have you ever held call signs anywhere else besides home, especially if you have multiple calls. So one more time, have you ever worked and played radio in another country or have you ever held call signs anywhere else besides home. The part about asking about working radio in other countries is a lot of times, well, last week I was looking up some licensing information for Brian and I found out that he's okay to use his extra call that he got from the state in Canada and that it's totally within his prerogative and if anyone asks about it or makes a big deal about it because you don't have a VE3 or VE2 call, you can tell them to go screw. You can tell them that you're in the upper crust part of the hill and they're not and they need to stand on by and get lost. So I went and I asked an examiner friend about that particular, well I just said I have a friend in the states who's migrating his extra call to Canada. Is he okay to operate in Canada with it or does he have to retest or retry? He said no, you don't need to retest, no need to retry but what you told me with the present working conditions that you said, you said he's on Ecolink, you said he's on the phone, he's okay. Yeah, and anyone else who asks about it, hit them over the head with a shovel like in Blazing Saddles. Wait, he didn't say that. Dean, the examiner talked about Blazing Saddles, that's a reach, the next man that makes a move gets it. Would he even know, he's an examiner, I would have assumed he would have known to make words missing. So I thought about like yeah, operating in different places because I know it's the other way around and the examiner friend of mine touched on it too where if a Canadian ham goes to the states, you've got to observe their rules, it's not the same. Like in Canada, HF is almost totally given away to you, it's not like that in the states. They fight for every single piece of space on the bands and if you don't observe it, someone will chop your head off, you will be decapitated. It's just as bad as treason. How dare you step upon the extra portion of the ban, you Canadian, you. It's off with its balls. So you have to know where you're operating and what you're doing and Canada is a little more generous in terms of the operating. Now my examiner friend said that there's actually a half decent and okay reciprocal agreement with the states. So if that's the case, well then that's true. That will be less heads on the chopper. Okay so with that in mind, let's take it back to the top and do finals. This is the final round and my goal is to get you just about a few minutes late for the Michigan Nets. So at the top for finals and you've heard the question, Bill, Dee and Gray will do three right now and I might change my mind somewhere around that. So Bill, Dee and then Gray for your finals.

The money that went down to South America, that was to Argentina to help them out. The government down there has turned around and they had like 900% inflation for a long time. They're down to like 400 or not even that. I think it's 40 or 50% inflation or something like that. Just still really high but it's really making a comeback.

But what I do see outside the politics, I see that okay if it is one in eight Americans, that means that there is forty some odd million people that are probably going to go hungry as a result of this decision. Maybe not all of those people because there probably is some system abuse. And those people that Josh saw buying the tomahawks and all of this kind of stuff and you know all the expensive stuff, I did some research. Apparently an individual is only entitled to a little under two hundred dollars a month in SNAP benefits. That is a hundred bucks every two weeks. Apparently a family of three with two adults and one kid is entitled to about three hundred and fifty dollars a month. But boys I spend two hundred dollars, two hundred and twenty five bucks every two weeks for one person. This is what I eat. Now I don't eat crap, I mean I eat steak and pork chops and roast and french fries and potatoes and stuff like that right? But I am not living like a king on two hundred to two hundred and twenty five bucks every two weeks. That is like four hundred and fifty bucks a month that I am spending.

So I don\ufffdt understand how people, maybe the people that you saw personally are some of that crowd that are abusing the system, getting SNAP benefits and they\ufffdre probably got a spouse or something that\ufffds making good income.

Governments should try to work together for the benefit, for the good of the people. But if you're willing to let people starve to prove your point or to get your way, that just doesn't seem like a good person to me. I mean, I would feel incredibly guilty if I was the person that was responsible for making so many people go hungry. I wouldn't go to sleep at night. I got to be honest with you, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. But that's about all I can say about all this, I suppose. It's a sad, sad, sad situation. That's my opinion. Anyhow, everybody stick around for the worldwide friendship net. And we'll catch you all out here maybe on Monday. Yeah, we'll look forward to catching Grey out here on Monday. With that, great job again, Kevin. Thank you so much, man, for picking up the slack. While Kevin has been away, I don't know. I guess he's planning on coming back at some point. I really don't know. I mean, I haven't heard from him. I don't know if anyone else has. You know, I don't know if you want to turn this into a permanent gig on Saturdays or I know you said before you weren't really fond of having permanent gigs. But if Kevin doesn't come back, we're going to have to figure something out because Saturday is a well-loved net out here now. So Sunday is still in the weeds. But Saturday, even I try to make Saturdays now when I can. So it's definitely one people like. And you do a great job with it. And so did Kevin before you. But the show must go on at the end of the day. Back over. Oh, hang on. Let me reset one."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T07:11:27+00:00","id":73587,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73586,"text":" What the hell happened that time?

It just popped in for maybe a second, maybe half a dozen times. Like just for a second. Literally we didn't hear anything of your conversation or anything like that. No worries there. But yeah, if you're using VOX, that's voice operated so that will trick your PTT if it hears you. I recommend setting it to a static PTT. Either something you can click on in the corner of the app with your mouse or a button you can press on your keyboard to activate your PTT. So yes, but no, your conversation was safe. Back over to you Kevin. Thanks again man. 7-3 everybody. The 01U Casey. I will make sure that there is a net on Saturday. Don't worry. You can rely on me and if I happen to inherit the job, well then that's what happens. Yeah, I won't let you go without the net. So don't worry about that.

Sorry I took a minute I'm tanning down Halloween. I'm almost done already. Uh you're good in that Kevin good in that. Good questions. Thought provoking that's good. I've never done anything outside of what I'm doing right now on Ham Radio because I'm still fairly new. So that answers that question for you. I uh I struggle with what's going on right now on both sides because I don't trust either side. And I'll be honest with all of you it's absolutely crazy to me that most people choose one side or the other to just wholeheartedly believe in. And uh that's crazy to me. I mean I do have a conservative event. I am a Texan. But I'm not an all dang Republican. I don't agree with a lot of what they do and what they say. And I speak against Trump quite a bit. I don't agree with everything he does. I don't disagree with everything he does. Same thing with Obama. I don't even talk about Biden. He doesn't really count. But same thing with Obama. There's some things he did I agree with. Some things he did that I didn't agree with. And that's okay. That's the nature of politics. You see? You lose. You take yourself off. And you pick yourself up to fight again. And I think that's what the Democrats are forgetting to do this this this go around. They're like petulant children at this point. They they they're not winning their game. So they're stopping the game. That's what it seems like to me. I mean you have what 12 13 votes now that Republicans have voted to start the government back up. And you have just as many votes where the Democrats say no. Because of two things that they want to stand on for principle. That makes a lot of sense. Totally understand that. But you can't subject your people to the negative side effects of not getting you away. And that is what Democrats are doing. We would have no snap problem. We would have no no financial issues that's going on today. That takes litigation and courts and time and resources and energy. We wouldn't have any of that today. If they would just reopen the blasted government. It's not a hard concept. It's really not. Democrats want to extend Obamacare's great dirt in Congress where you're supposed to shut down the government again. But like petulant children to me. That's just on this one case. That's not a blanket statement just on this one case. And that's how I feel about the whole shutdown. I haven't really spoke out spoke out on it because I'm really not trying to speak out on a lot of political stuff these days. But I mean that's pretty black and white to me. You got one group trying to pass it. You got one group saying no and the government won't turn on until they pass it. Simple as that. KJ5 are you all accused? Well, I've said. Josh, can you comment right now? Kevin, can I make a comment? Yeah, go ahead. I did listen. Go ahead. Yeah, go ahead. I did listen.

Okay, so one thing I think a lot of people are forgetting about, and it may be because they're not familiar with the practice. I mean, let's face it, most Americans don't do line item budgeting, right? They don't have, let's, we'll go old school here. They don't have a spreadsheet that tells them you have this amount of allotted money for this purpose. And that's it. That's all you can do. That's what it's for. You have to have a law to take money from one designated purpose and move it to another one without due process. Okay. Now, now that being said, I agree with you wholeheartedly. This is a Democrat and Republican stalemate and, and neither side seems to be really trying to end it. Now, I put a lot of blame on Democrats only because all they have to do is simply vote yes. Yay. Three little letters. Yay. Open to government. We can figure the rest of it out, but they're not. And that's what bothers me. You know, if, if, if, if those were reversed and Republicans were voting no, I guarantee you I'd be the first one saying they're messing this thing up because you can't hold your people down while you try to figure crap out. As far as the funding, you were talking about like, like blowing stuff up over in, around Venezuela and stuff. That's all not part of this line item. See, see, that's what a lot of people don't understand. There are line item markers that don't play part of this budgeting or CR. They are, what's the word I'm looking for? They are absolved of falling underneath that due to various laws over the years, like the Patriot Act back in 2001 or yeah, 2001. There's a, so that's what's wrong with America's politics and law and government really, honestly, the three, the three, the three things there is that it's so convoluted. Nobody knows what's right and what's wrong anymore. They really don't. They don't know what's legal and what's legal. They depend on judges, district judges or federal judges to come up with the rulings. Funny enough, the federal and appellate courts are not listed in the constitution either. They were, they were made by the Supreme Court, which is the only court listed in the constitution. Not that that takes away from them or nothing, but I don't agree with some unelected official who was appointed to a position dictating what Americans can or cannot do. That's my problem there. Anyhow, yeah, Darryl, it's, it's, it's a mess. I couldn't, I can't clarify it for you. I really can't. There's, I don't know if anybody can, to be honest, not in the world. It's so convoluted on what they can spend money on or what they can't spend money on. The military, let's clarify that because I have family members who are in the military. So I know a little bit more about this. They are getting paid. They got paid last time. They got paid this time. But it took a private United States citizen to chip in to cover it. So they're not getting paid from the government.

Now there will be some secret service stuff that they have to do that's real cost to taxpayers money but that's to be expected I would think.

And I'm all for due process. I think government should always follow due process. But with the number of circumventions of due process that Trump has already exhibited through his presidency by running through things in the matter of a day and on a whim with an executive order, it seems to me that if he had his priorities and really cared about protecting the citizens, he would be issuing at least an executive order right now to make sure that those benefits were issued to the people that needed them so people didn't go hungry. When it comes to the donation made by that one gentleman, it was only several several hundred million dollars. And I say only it's a huge amount, I know, but it wouldn't even come handy, not even remotely close to covering the cost of paying the military. And that was one of Trump's dedicated supporters. So you guarantee you that is going to be a quid pro quo. For sure, he's going to get something back for that. In spades, he didn't do that on the goodness of his heart. So I wouldn't make it seem like regular citizens were coming to the rescue here. When it comes to, I can't remember the other point, man, but I'll just let it go here. We need to get over to the internet. But I was just curious, like you say, why executive orders are not being signed or just someone hasn't done something about the people that are going hungry. I mean, other countries should be sending aid to America at this point, because 40 odd million people going hungry. That's a global crisis right there. And I think other countries should be chipping in to help America so people don't starve. Same thing they were doing in Gaza. There's no different people are going hungry. They need food. Government doesn't care. The 01 UKZ. Let's get to Michigan. You gain one hour tonight. What the heck? We're fed up with these time changes. Just hurry up and get on with it already. No more. They say, well, all the experts, medical experts and scientists are saying that it's best to just stay on standard time. I mean, Saskatchewan never changes. So there we go. We don't have much going on today. I'm working on my toast right now. I have to be eating my cereal. And I'll probably just go get groceries. That's it. So that's how usually my Saturday trips. Getting back into the swing of things at work. And a couple of changes too. People are retiring. Even my warehouse manager, he's officially retired now because of his health issues. And so the guy that was taking over for him, he's retiring soon too. And there was one fellow as well who just retired on Thursday. Well, Thursday was his last day. He'd been there 29 years. Yeah, 29 years and 12 days. That's how specific they were. So me, I'll probably do it in three years. Oh, hey, thanks, Rosie. The Halloween shot of everybody, well, those of us that dressed up, just a handful of us. But anyway. Game six last night, oh, very unfortunate. Blue Jays lost 3-1 to the LA Dodgers.

I can't remember what he said she was doing. But anyway, he was having fun playing on the radio on that HF and stuff. His G5 that he put up is performing pretty well. He really likes it.

Earlier this week they took me out downtown for some fondue. It's the one year anniversary of losing my husband so they've been keeping me in really good spirits all week. We had bought a brick with our names on it down in Pioneer Courthouse Square back in 2018 and then it was installed in 2019 but we've never been able to see it and just never made it down there. So we went hunting for that brick with Michael and my name on it and got photos of that and did a rubbing and stuff so that we have a colorful copy of it at home. So it was really nice for them to be there with me and doing all that, keeping me going this week. So looking forward to hanging out with everybody tomorrow morning.

This is a directed social net that happens on the PSRG repeater, which is located on Capitol Hill in Seattle. The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 megahertz with a negative off and a field tone of 103.5. All licensed hands and new licensees just getting started are welcome to join. If you have third-party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. We encourage you to press that button and tell us a little bit about yourself, your radio projects, or just about anything else. Please limit your reports to three minutes so we can get as many stations in as possible. This is also when the repeater times out. When you are finished with your reports, please end with your call sign and that will keep the FCC happy. We will be compiling several rounds of stations during the net, and after each round, we will ask each station consecutively for reports.

And anyways, now I'm, well I woke up this morning I looked out and I was like man the slides the canopy are gone. Like did they blow off? I don't see them in the front yard. Did someone steal them? Who would do something like that? So like checked our outdoor camera and I guess my wife couldn't sleep and got up at about like 5 a.m and started taking stuff down because there she is pulling stuff out of the front yard. Anyways, now I get to focus more fully on the repeater roundabout. We currently have 70 repeaters and November 22nd and 23rd I think will be a fun time to send a lot of electromagnetic radiation into the ether around here. I'm going to keep working on getting more. I have a few more sort of in the backlog that I need to add this morning but yeah we're at 70 and counting. I hope you're having a great morning.

I think we're going to go get some breakfast, go run some errands and then come back so Robert can finish working on the truck that we've got sitting in the driveway. And I was also cracking up about the station manager situation. We've got the three station managers here and the two bigs, you know, they don't care. They'll go out in the rain, snow, whatever. The little, you know, she wants to go out until you open the door and she sees what's going on and it's like, nope. Well, thankfully we have a little bit of a, you know, the overhang of the roof. She can stick to the side of the house and do her biz without going all the way out into the yard. And then we do have a bit of a covered area, too. And I think she'll utilize that when she doesn't want to get her pads wet or go out into the rain. So they crack me up. They're so funny. Well, again, thank you for hosting and for doing what to do.

But otherwise I'm doing pretty good. We had a fantastic date night last night. Driving around in the rain and the dark and having some great food. The speakeasy was just one of the coolest things I think I've done in a while. You had to pull the right cigarette tab to get the door to open. It was an old style cigarette machine so for those old time smokers you know exactly what I'm talking about. Luckily you didn't have to put any money in. You just had to pull the right tab. It was pretty cool. The environment was fantastic. The drinks were so-so. The people were dressed up. The atmosphere was just awesome. It was top notch. The adult... What am I saying? My brain just reset. The charcuterie board. I call it adult something else. Lunchables. That's right. They're adult lunchables. You get meat, cheese and bread or something. It was pretty good. We went to the train wreck and actually had dinner. It was so good. Every time. Someone I hadn't seen for probably 10 years, 12 years, something like that. I was staring at him all night because I knew that I knew him. But Cammie made the effort to confirm that I knew him. I couldn't do it. Nonetheless we had a great evening. We're going to go take care of some stuff today. Looking at the radar reports, I think we're in the rain shadow. I'm going to have a pretty good day. It does say it's supposed to be sunny this afternoon. I'm going to wait until this afternoon to try to get the truck worked on even though I think the wind might be blowing like a million miles an hour. Luckily the wind won't bother me. I got my little heater so I'll be good to go anyway. I think it's supposed to be almost 60 degrees today. It'll be an interesting one. Nonetheless, it's time for breakfast. I need coffee.

So I'm facilitating that and maybe I'll be home by the time it clears up this afternoon. I think it's supposed to be partly sunny, which is kind of incredible because it's been super rainy. I think we got an inch of rain overnight. I could hear it pounding on the roof every time I woke up. I'd go, yep, they're still there. Other than that, looking out for flooding. There's supposed to be local flooding. I regretfully had to see my daughter go off in a truck today to Falls City. Yeah, she's going to Falls City. I told her, look out.

I was just reading this article on the Internet from yesterday. Federal Communications. OK. Things are about to get messy for free over the air TV. I'm going to be part of this but keep it condensed. SCC is going to be allowing TV broadcasters to adopt the emerging ATSC 3.0 broadcast standard. Right now, the broadcast standard is ATC 1.0 that current TVs support. This is, again, for over the air. Only concern if you're over the air. I know most people are doing cable and maybe they don't care about over the air at all. But if you're doing over the air, this would be of interest. Anyway, so the current TVs support the standard, digital standard ATSC, which I don't even know what that stands for. 1.0 works with most TVs and tuners. This new standard that's coming out now already is used in a lot of areas, including probably Seattle because they have it in like 90 markets, allows TVs 2.0, allows..."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T09:47:02+00:00","id":73710,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73709,"text":" The new standard 8T SD 3.0 also known as Next Gen TV brings new capabilities to over the air broadcasts including 4K HDR video, enhanced dialogue, Dolby Atmos Studio, interactive content, broadcasters started rolling out this in 2019 and stations in more than 90 markets carry it. However, the current standard 1.0 allows you to use like digital video recorders. 3.0 which is not backwards compatible incorporates digital rights management and will not allow you to use video recorders. And also only about 11% of the TVs on the market now support 3.0. So if you are doing it over the air you might want to consider what your use is. There are converter boxes you can get for the 3.0 which are like $90. So anyway, I'll leave it at that. Hey, I think it's raining out a little bit but not bad.

I woke up and the entire driveway and much of the lawn is now covered with orange detritus from our dogwood tree. And I am getting a chainsaw out to cut it. No, I'm not. My wife then turned the chainsaw on me. So it's very, very pretty. But it seems I have a whole lot more work to do. We did discover that the new lawnmower just sucked them up and chopped them up very well. Better than any lawnmower we've had in a decade. So that's good. Marilyn does the mowing for me. And that's kind of a marital understanding. I buy the best lawnmower she can get and electric start and she pushes it around. Or it gets dragged around behind it. Working on ham stuff, yes. Worked on the beginning of one of our ARIES team members on ARIES on Winlink. And that was a challenge. It turns out if you try to enter a password and don't get it right the first time, then you have to uninstall and delete directories before you can move forward. And we figured that out. And he got his work and he sent his first Winlink message. And if you're ham, you really, really should install Winlink and get that started.

Up next is John, Kilo Juliet 7, Papalina Mike. Good morning. Good morning. It's a wonderful fall wet day in the Pacific Northwest, so I'm enjoying sitting here in our house. We lucked out with trick or treating last night. Last year we, well I came back fairly dry, but everyone else came back soaked last year. I just needed to get us prepared. This year we were all prepared, but it didn't rain very much. We came back with relatively dry candy and relatively dry kids. So it was a great trick or treating night. And now there's just been lots of fighting over the toys and candy they got. So that's the fun aftermath of Halloween. Other than that, I'm kind of sitting this weekend. Last weekend I went to a wedding, a friend's wedding, and they asked me to take pictures of them. And so I did, and now I'm trying to kind of go through and edit those. I'm not a wedding photographer. And they're not, also they don't want traditional wedding photos. They have a different kind of style. Also I'm having a hard time replicating, so I'm trying to like just write for them. And I'm just kind of working through these photos. I'll probably have to do another round to try to figure out how to get closer to what they're looking for. But that's my weekend plan. I hope I can get these done, or at least mostly done this weekend so that I can share them kind of soon. So that's my project right now. In terms of the radio world, I actually finally broke down and I got a mobile GMRS radio, my new base station, so that I can be monitoring GMRS other than on my little handheld here at home during activities, events, and if there were an actual disaster that I'd respond to, I could check the Washington GMRS at a higher power. So I'm excited to get that and try it out. I think it's coming tomorrow. We'll test that out. I got the new B-Tech 50 Pro or whatever. So we'll see how that goes. That's about all I got.

I wonder if anybody would want it. So anyway, he's like, oh yeah, if you know of anybody who wants it, that's great. Like the data installers come, they can just take it.

Anyway, he said they have to be grid tied, but I think the thing is 10 years old. It's in good shape. And I think these things are supposed to go for 20. So anyway, if anybody wants a free 2.8 kilowatt solar system, I think he's having installers come in like a week or two. I just thought I would put that out there. Anyway, so you could contact me through QRZ and we could coordinate if you want. So I don't know. I don't know if you want a solar system Dana, but it's out there.

The repeater operates at a frequency of 146.96 with a negative offset PL tone of 103.5. All licensed TAMs and new licensees are welcome to join. If you have third party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. I'd actually be interested in how Halloween went for everybody. Mine was pretty quiet, but I'll get back to that later. If you have third party traffic, we'd like to hear from them too. We encourage you to press that button. Tell us a little bit about yourself, your radio, projects, or just about anything else. Drop it for a moment. Please limit your reports to three minutes so we can get you a station soon and ask if I can get in. This is also when the repeater times out. When you're finished, please, with your report, please end with your call sign. And I appreciate call signs kind of slow and phonetically helps me because I'm a terrible cop copying these things down. I just haven't overcome that issue. Anyway, let's get started with the net.

Figured I picked it up when I was going through the airport, because that was the only time I was unprotected, was for a short time. When I was standing in a line, I decided, oh, I'm not going to wear a mask here. Mistakes. Anyway, still trying to be cautious, but. Alright, thank you Bill for that.

I'm at T9VDC Brooks here in Newcastle. Yeah, I guess you could say we did something for Halloween. We handed out candy. So, let's see, we did, Megan got all kinds of candy. We got it at Target earlier in the week, so we were all ahead of schedule there. And then Thursday I went and picked up a Papa Murphy's pizza so that we could make it on Friday, yesterday, because previously I had tried to get pizza on Halloween, and you end up waiting way too long for your pizza. So we were prepared in that regard as well. The tally on the trick-or-treaters. So the doorbell rang a total of eight times, and we had a total of 18 trick-or-treaters. So I've been keeping track the last few years. I think last year we had 25 or 24, and the year before I think we had 17. So we're about typical. And not too bad for a pretty rainy night. But we have a lot of leftover candy. So I guess we'll have to figure out what to do with that. Anyway, let's see, what was I looking at today? So there are some new Washington State license plates that have come out. A friend of mine works for the state and was part of the project that rolled out some of these new designs. One of them is a throwback plate. It's a black plate with light lettering and says Washington in kind of a throwback style. And so I'm trying to figure out if I can get that plate with my call sign on it, because the call sign plate is just a Washington plate with the mountain on it. And so he's going to ask some folks in his department there exactly what that process would look like. So that would be kind of cool to get an even further customized plate set up with the call sign on it. But anyway, there is that. Outside of that, I've got the mini mill is coming together. I got the vice in last week and a couple other things. So I need to work on getting the head all aligned, and then I can get the vice mounted. And then I could start cutting some aluminum. So that'll be fun. I'll try to post some pictures or videos once I get that kind of going. But it's kind of just tinkering on it as I have time to do it. It's a lot of work to get it all set up and going. So I'm trying not to do it all at once, because I don't necessarily have a timeline for it. But that's OK. Anyway, that's what I got. K9, BDC, back to that."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T12:23:06+00:00","id":73824,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73823,"text":" Thank you Brooks. On the equipment setup, probably better to do it as you're kind of slow and considered getting everything in the right spot, setting up the workflow and all that instead of rushing. So congratulations on that. Yeah, pretty good on the trick-or-treaters. Sounds like you fared about 18 times or more better than Jack did at his QTH there. So hope that keeps up. Leftover candy? Yeah. This is my opportunity. Tomorrow I'll be going out and looking for leftover candy on sale. So that's kind of my thing after Halloween or Valentine's Day or any of those things. Kind of stock up on my candy stash. So we'll see how that goes. Last year I waited too long. I waited about four days after Halloween and everything was taken off the shelves. And I noticed that increasingly stores do just take the inventory off the shelves. They don't even bother marking it down. It goes somewhere. And I always wonder where it goes. Do they toss it? I mean the stuff that's labeled for Halloween, they can't really \u2013 I don't know. Let me know. If anyone knows what happens to all that candy. On the license plate, yeah, I remember the black ones before just being for like vintage cars or something. So let us know how it goes with the license plate, what you can get as far as customization with the call signs. Thank you very much Brooks. After Brooks we had Sydney with an I.O.

That's my public service announcement there. Anyway, what else was I going to say? Oh, yeah, I mentioned this on the Lake Washington net and I wanted to mention it again on this net. It's a public service announcement to everyone out there driving around today, especially those of you in newer or modern vehicles with automatic headlights. Your automatic headlights don't know that it's raining for the rest of your life. You need to turn your lights on for the rest of our safety and the safety of yourself. Just because it's light enough to not need the auto lights for the illumination of the road, you need to illuminate it for your safety so that other people can see you through the rain and the foul weather. Even if you have daytime running lights, your tail lights are generally not illuminated when you're driving during the day. So please, for all of our safety and your own, turn your headlights on. It's not just a couple clicks of that little naughty thing. In most vehicles it's to the left of the steering wheel. So there you go. There's my public safety announcement. If you don't know where it's at, send me a picture of your vehicle and I'll tell you where it's at. Anyway, happy, healthy Rock and Rollin' out running around doing some errands today. And just all in all, happy and rocking and rolling. So there you go. I had some coffee if you couldn't tell, so I think I need some more. I'm running a little bit low on that energy, I think.

So anyways, I impulsively looked over at Amazon and decided to buy basically the same bad bits in my van and They had him for a little cheaper than I think I bought him for originally but there was like 230 shipped or something like that and For 150 amp hours and so that came yesterday and I was installing that here this morning and It's installed now But the first time go around at it. I was using the old wires for charging it and I kept noticing they're getting hotter hotter and hotter and I'm with the temperature probe. It's actually for my I've Brought a battery monitor on it between the wires split right there And we're over to get nice and warm and toasty and let it sit there for a while and it hit like 49 50 51 and I'm like, wow, it's getting warm. Look up at again. Just 55. I said, you know, I Got some other set of wires are all used instead They were good just fine for now It's time charge in 20 amp hours because it was only taking like 15 minutes to charge it But when you're charging 150 of that powers it's gonna take like three to four hours possibly On my chart. I'm a even my 50 amp hour, you know, I'm couldn't 50 amp hours into it right now It's actually I'm yeah, I'm talking to 144. But anyways, yeah like twice as big they came with one of my It was something I bought before and I you know threw him in a thing because I had other wires But yeah, they're like twice as big doesn't that could gauge up? I think there's like I think there's thing a lot actually maybe so better. What's a pretty good size? It's tall, you know Yeah, upgrade them when they're whenever they have to fight when you're pulling that much current for that long Anyways, that's my ramble. I'll be having a good weekend.

It's really the \u2013 I run all my stuff when I'm running all my shack. So I'm using my radio to pull 20 amps plus when it's going. So that's really what it's for, right? Because it's a whole shack-like battery, basically. Anyway, so I was running that, and I pulled the battery. I pulled the charger, and everything died. I was like, that's not good. So I pulled the cells apart and put a volt meter on them, and one of them was 14.4, and the other one was 7.5. And I'm like, that 7.5, you just go to the side, you have a bad cell or two in it, and I put the back to the 10 amp and ran off that for the last week and a half, or week plus, week and a day. So now I'm running this other one, and it just came with a shipping charge on it. So the only time that I'll actually charge it at the current is when I have a power outage and the power comes back. I get the delivery, and he's like, oh, you shouldn't charge it that much current. It's only when I've ran them down all the \u2013 it's a big battery pack, too.

I went in this morning, I drove in to get a cup of coffee and I see the Maserati Alfa Romeo dealer next door. I've never been in a Maserati and I wanted to see what it looked like. So I went in there and I ended up buying a car. Not a Maserati, I got an Alfa Romeo. It's about $10,000 less than I thought it would be. And the numbers were so low he threw at me that I, excuse myself, I went into the bathroom, took out my phone and did some quick research and his numbers were unbelievable how low they were. I don't know why they're so low, the trade in was so high. He gave me a low. I know with the market it's all changing. But I've been following mine and I'm a pretty savvy purchaser. But shock of my life, I'm now sitting in Alfa Romeo, the SUV. And for actually less than I was driving a Lexus, I'm much, much less than the Lexus. It was really, I think, a great deal. Anyway, I'm having a great day. Back to the net, it's whiskey six, Bravo Romeo, November, back to the net. Wow, Alfa Romero, yes. The Italian spirit. By the way, I made a mistake. I thought you were an I.O. so I mentioned that you were an I.O. and then went on to Marvin. But I'll come back for Marvin in a minute. So question about the Alfa Romero. Yeah, I think maybe just because it's, well, of course, you're in California. Let me know what part of California, oh, Los Angeles, California. So sports cars are still hot down there. We don't see very many, I don't know when I've seen an Alfa Romero here in Seattle, but California, of course, is a little more adventurous when it comes to automobiles in some regards.

But it's a good looking car. This will probably be my last purchase. I'll keep this in really good shape. When I was living in Seattle, I had a Saab, which I loved. But I've never driven an Alfa Romeo. I've definitely never been in a Maserati. So this is a new experience. I got the base model. I didn't need the fancy engine. This has everything in it except the fancy high power engine. And it's high enough power for me. In LA traffic I can't go more than 25 miles an hour anyway. And I looked, I thought about getting an electric car. And then I realized the range is, I drive down to San Diego on a regular basis. That's 125 miles, 150 miles. And you know, round trip, it's pretty much the range for the day. And definitely I would have battery anxiety. So anyway, I'm thinking of how I'm going to mount a radio.

So it struck on the southern side of Jamaica, almost immediately south of Montego Bay. Ras Kingston, which is the capital of Jamaica and the largest city, that's basically on the eastern side of Jamaica. So Kingston saw tropical storm, category 1 force winds, but that's where it topped out. Whereas the cone of maximum intensity, that was more or less centered over far western Jamaica, unfortunately.

Looks like the dugout's clear. There was about to be a... The Jays game was about to turn into a... The Jays Dodgers game was about to turn into a UFC fight. Okay, where are we going now? Melissa. So Melissa was subject to what they call Rapid Intensification, R.I. And this is basically when you have a 35-mile wind speed increase in a 24-hour period. And you can see 70-mile-an-hour wind speed increases in a 24-hour period as well. So the Rapid Intensification, as far as hurricanes is concerned, is 70 miles per hour to go from a storm to a hurricane. And 35 miles per hour, which is... Sorry, let me clarify that. Rapid Intensification is 35 miles an hour. Extreme Rapid Intensification is 70 miles an hour. I'm getting distracted by the baseball game. I'm confusing myself. And the fuel source for Melissa was some very, very warm water in the Caribbean Sea that had a temperature of about 30 to 31 degrees Celsius. That's 86.5 to 87 degrees Fahrenheit. And that sort of provided the reservoir of heat and moisture and that gave it the high-octane fuel that it needed. And the environment was also very favorable. It was very, very low as far as vertical wind shear goes. And it had high atmospheric moisture content. So that basically allowed robust convection in the form of thunderstorms to efficiently take this heat energy and turn it into kinetic energy and then the storms begin rotating with the help of the Coriolis force and develop an eye. And we're off to the races with a positive feedback loop. Let me drop it. Okay."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T18:31:51+00:00","id":73963,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73962,"text":" So, Melissa had some record breaking intensity. At the time of its category 5 landfall in Jamaica, it had two main historical distinctions. The wind speed record, that was 185 mph, 295 kmh. That tied it for the strongest wind speed at landfall in the Atlantic basin with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane and Hurricane Dorian in 2019. It also set a pressure record where central pressure got down to 892 mbar. At landfall, that also tied the 1935 Labor Day hurricane for the most intense landfalling alert at Atlantic hurricane based on pressure. And it also had a very, very slow movement. So while it was approaching and eventually crossing Jamaica, the storm only moved at about 5 mph and that maximized the duration that the catastrophic winds had as they pummeled Jamaica and then to another extent you had torrential rainfall. So that led to erosion, significant flash flooding which also worsened the damage."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T18:34:02+00:00","id":73964,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73963,"text":" So as you can imagine, Jamaica, we shook the brunt of the storm, there was some huge damage. So it's estimated that between $48 and $52 billion is going to be the total for damage and economic loss for Jamaica. And this is from a number of different sources. I was looking at different news sources and they're deriving their data from both government ministries in Jamaica as well as third party estimates. So the numbers that I've been able to dig up are between $48 and $52 billion. And the economic impact, depending on how you measure it, it could actually range from 30 to 250% of Jamaica's GDP. And Jamaica's fortunate in that it's not a tiny island, so its GDP is larger than some of the smaller islands in the Caribbean would be, but it's not by any means, you know, it's not continental land mass. So when you measure damage against an island's GDP, you come up with these crazy numbers with 250% being on the high end, but that's a lot of GDP loss. So there's some concerns that this could trigger, you know, a recession in the tourism industry and some other parts of the industries in Jamaica. So again, the fear is that there's a tourism industry collapse. And there's also agricultural destruction, right, because there were, western Jamaica has a number of farms. It's used for livestock, cattle, that sort of stuff, and there's also sugarcane. So there's some concerns that there are going to be some huge agricultural losses. And again, we're still not really clear on the damage because some of these areas are still inaccessible and the conveyance of information hasn't been all that clear as far as what's going on in the western half of Jamaica.

One of the things you notice is that the island goes from a nice lush green color to this shade of a muddy brown after, and again this is where the eye wall would have impacted and the strongest winds.

The birds are all accustomed to long distance flights, but what happens with non-migratory seabirds is that gulls and other birds, they face direct mortality from the extreme wind and they have their habitats destroyed with the storm surge and coastal flooding. And then in the case of land birds, what ends up happening is you have flying debris that kills them, hypothermia that kills them because they basically get drenched. And then depending on where they're living, they can get displaced further inland or carried out to sea where they drown ultimately. And it also affects their habitat directly due to both habitat loss and food chain destruction. So you lose your nest and your root sites and you lose food, so certain reptiles and things can be washed away or killed.

But it lived and it was only found in the interior pine forest and the pine forests were wiped out by the wind and then they were killed by the salt spray from the ocean. And after Hurricane Dorian, there was a small population they'd rediscovered, but after Dorian rolled through, they couldn't find any of them.

With a thunderstorm it's basically all up, right? It's warm air rising into cooler air, it condenses into a cloud, and then you have something called a lapse rate. The dry lapse rate is the conditional lapse rate in the atmosphere, and then the parcel cools at 6.5 degrees Celsius per vertical kilometer of ascent, right, until it hits the tropopause where the dry lapse rate changes and the atmosphere is no longer unstable. A hurricane is a little bit different. A hurricane uses something that's known as conditional instability of the second kind, CISK, and two things are involved, or four things really I should say. So you have massive airflow, so you have the low pressure at the center, the eye, and that draws in air from the surrounding area. The air spirals inward near the ocean surface, and as it does it picks up enormous amounts of heat and moisture, you know, water vapor from the warm ocean waters, and then you do have eye wall convection, so you have supersaturated air that converges and rises rapidly in a continuous ring, and that's right around the eye wall, so you get these towering thunderstorms that constitute the eye wall, and then the third factor is latent heat release. They call it latent heat because it's hidden, it's basically hidden heat energy, and latent heat release, so when water vapor in the eye wall condenses into rain, it releases a massive amount of this latent heat, and this is basically a thermal energy transfer that warms the air column in the core of the storm, so unlike other storms which, mid-latitude cyclones I should say, which actually cool in the center and with height, hurricanes actually, as you get closer to their center, things begin to warm up, and the air gets warmer, not necessarily warmer with height, but it gets warmer with height relative to what the atmospheric temperature normally is if there wasn't a hurricane. And then the other thing, let me drop it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T18:46:56+00:00","id":73980,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73979,"text":" factors pressure drops, so you have a positive feedback. And basically the warming of the air in the core makes it less dense and this causes the air pressure at the surface to drop even lower. So when you have this lower pressure, it pulls in even more air from the periphery and this then picks up more heat and moisture from the ocean, strengthening the updraft and you get a positive feedback loop that drives the storm's intensification. Now when a hurricane interacts with land, the first thing, the immediate, the first immediate effect is that you lose that, the moisture inflow to the hurricane because obviously when it's on land it's no longer over the water so you don't have your latent heat engine running nearly as efficiently as it could be because you're not putting as much moisture into the air. So you lose your heat. The second thing that happens, and this is more of a newly discovered phenomenon, is that, so friction from land doesn't necessarily kill a hurricane, but what it does do is as the lowest column of air interacts with land, it obviously slows down a little. But it slows down enough that incoming air parcels sort of get bounced and they actually get forced upwards before they can fully saturate, before they can pick up moisture from the lowest part of the atmosphere and they actually get sent upwards before they're able to fully utilize the latent heat release mechanism or achieve any type of negative buoyancy. So you're essentially throwing denser air in and this has a negative effect because it reduces the angular coefficient and it actually draws energy away from it because the added weight of the air is no longer adding to the angular velocity, it's slowing it down. So you basically have a loss and that's why the eye starts to collapse as it moves inland because everything gets too heavy and you start to slow down. It's like making a little whirlpool with your hand in a lake or a puddle or a pool and then once you stop it eventually closes in because you're no longer inputting energy into the system. Let me drop it."},{"ai_pass_count":0,"analysis_step_count":0,"confidence":null,"created_at":"2025-11-01T18:48:20+00:00","id":73981,"node_number":"oldsys","processing_time":null,"recent_steps":[],"recording_id":73980,"text":" So those are your two primary causes for, and then a tertiary cause would be dry air intrusion. So for example, hurricanes that are closer to, or tropical systems I should say, that are closer to drier areas. So in the Gulf for example, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico or wherever, as they move towards the Gulf Coast, if they're further west, so they're closer to Texas or Mexico, they tend to actually, it's not always the case, but generally speaking they do tend to lose energy as they're beginning to make landfall because they dry in more dry air from the continental land mass. The air is typically drier in west Texas and that part of Mexico than it is in east Texas. So there's less moisture to work with, this dry air gets in there and you have evaporational cooling which actually negatively affects it because it cools the air instead of warming the air and it changes the density factor, it makes it more heavy. So that's not what hurricanes or tropical systems want. And again, when hurricanes move into the Carolinas you see the eyewall sort of, you lose that nice closed concentric eyewall and it becomes like a half moon shape where half of it becomes open, the other half is closed, and again there's dry air intrusion from land. So the primary thing is losing your heat energy source and your source of moisture. A secondary factor is friction, slowing down the air just enough that the parcels get bounced in a weird way so they can't fully saturate. And the third factor is dry air intrusion into the storm. So those are your three things.

Diane, Tropical Cyclone Diane, that was an interesting case for Australian friends. That may land fall as a category 2 tropical cyclone. What was interesting about this one is that there's a study currently ongoing right now to sort of figure out what was happening, but it seems like, so, the land mass in northern Australia was actually hot enough and they think that this may have happened with a couple other systems that have actually made it quite far into Australia. So Australia, as we all know, is relative to other places on the planet. Australia is actually very dry, just due to its geography and location. So, it was sort of unusual to have Diane make it as far in as it did as far as tropical systems go. What they suspect, so they're doing some modeling, I was reading a paper on this the other day, and basically what they think is that the system was slow moving, it was in a low shear environment, and there was enough rain coming out of it that it was hitting the continental land mass, which was hot, and I don't want to say boiling off, but there was enough evaporation occurring that while it was losing water obviously, right, it was raining itself out slowly, there was enough of a feedback loop still occurring from the hot land mass that it was able to actually keep reinvigorating itself or to sustain enough of the convection that it simply didn't fall apart immediately. So this was an interesting case because there was a fair bit of flooding from it. So, and there are a couple other systems they're looking at, so that was just something interesting that came to mind mentioning what kills these systems. So while it obviously lost, it wasn't a tropical cyclone in the classic sense, there was still enough of a thermal feedback loop going that it was able to decay far slower than it normally would have been expected to.
