and bring him up here. That's the essential field, so that was maybe a nice little treat for him. But I'll tell you what, it is colder up here than what I thought it was gonna be. And, thankfully I think that we might place one tonight in a one of seven WA. That's good. So anyway, all is well, I'm just thinking on trying to stay warm. Yeah, I'm definitely under-dressed for this. This year, my goodness. KG7, Charlie Bravo out here. Well, thanks very much, Robert. And don't freeze to death, please. Anyway, yeah, I'll come neither Ryan checked into my net yet. This seems to be an oversight that we must make. But meanwhile, it is WA7TV, Michelle, turn, Michelle. What do you like about Field Bay? This is Fights Field Day. Okay, first off, can you hear me and I have a reason for out-streaming. Yes, I can hear you. Awesome. Okay. Reason for out-streaming. I took everything apart today. All the antennas. I moved everything out to the deck and all the wire pulled more wires in here. And label-made, use a label maker to label-made, label all the cables and stuff. So now everything works. I was sure I got them right still. Okay, let me break. Does Dean there get a question for him too? Dean, are you using? I can see Dean watching to the fire pit. He does not seem to be listening to a radio. He's coming to the radio. Okay, well, anyway, one of the best things about Field Bay, and I haven't been up to Field Bay in many years, partly to do with the fact that I had to work on weekends and partly to do with the fact that my body just seen up to it and my wife and I don't like to camp. So those are our excuses. But when we did go up there, one of the best things was not operating. One of the best things, the best thing for me was sitting around that campfire till three o'clock in the morning, telling stories, drinking a beer or whatever we drank. And just being together, that was just so often. Just, that made the whole experience for me. It wasn't the operating, because I could operate here. But being with all the people, sitting around a fire, God could be telling stories. It was great. It really was great. How may I break? Okay, now, the reason I asked for Dean was there was, one of the all-time best things about Field Bay was gonna have, and I can't remember his call because my brain don't operate the way it gets, of course. I love it. We had a ham up there, a member of the club for years and years, called Little John. And he made five alarm chili. Yeah, and a few. If you haven't had five alarm, Little John chili, man, you haven't had chili. It was just awesome. So those were the best things about Field Bay for me. Anyway, oh, I have one more thing. Let me break real quick. Okay, one more thing. Got a call. You'll love this, Grigger. Got a call from my grandson. Got a bunch of computers call, something about a cat, even a minute or a hodge. And he'd take his care of it, whatever. So I called his mom and what's going on. And it turns out that they live down in the government subsidized housing down here in the east side of Tacoma. And they just totally remodeled their house. I mean, just top the bottom, really, really nice. And they're going to start churching in my heck of a bee to have a pet. So they couldn't afford it. So all of a sudden, he has a beard and a cat. And she has the prettiest little brown cat he'd ever seen. So right now, he's in the grand central room and pretty soon we'll let her out. She's the house when she gets used to the rest of the animals. But you'd love their scat. They're Grigger. Anyway, that's it. You guys have a great time up there. I'll kind of try to give out points for you guys tomorrow. W87PBE, I'll be clear and you guys have fun. Yay, New Kitty! I've forgotten everything else you said after you said. Said cat. No, let me recall. Yeah, so your rebuilt setup seems to be working just fine. So I'm glad about that. And anyway, have a great weekend. And hopefully everybody will get points from you. Alright, good next. KF7BSI was an I.O. Hope you're having a great weekend. And then we have Wisky7 Lima, AlfaZulu, Ben. Ben, what's your favorite thing about field days? It's Science Field Day itself. Hi there, yeah, as a technician level operator. I would like to just, you know, see all the various equipment and learn from the Elmer's. It's really a learning experience for me. And I have to admit, I haven't been on my radio in probably four or five months. And just kind of excited to kind of get back into it. Wisky7 Lima, AlfaZulu, back to net control. Well, thanks very much. Remember that you can do 10 meters with a technician license. So you can do some H.F. And hope you continue to enjoy it. Let's see, next we have K9 KDC Brook. Brook, what do you like about field days? Science Field Day itself. Well, good evening there, Greg or everyone on the net. Call sign correction, Kilo 9 Bravo Delta Charlie. Brook, out here at Seattle Radio Field Day. Sitting here with Robert, Gammie and Jeff have already checked in earlier. We've got our campers here and kind of a little big round up. Let's see what I like about field day. I like just getting out here and getting to see my friends in 3D. We like to come out here and camp and just kind of see all the activity going on and participate in the HAM socials, I guess we can call it. That's got to be my favorite part here. Yeah, it's beautiful. The sun's out here. It's a bit windy, but outside of that we're all just kind of hanging out and having a good time. I think we're going to have a little fire pit going later. Thanks for doing that. 7-3-all K9 BDC. We regret the mistake and have made corrections. Anyway, thanks, Brook. I'm glad that you are checking in and glad that you're hanging out with these guys. They're a bunch of fun. That reminds me of the part that Michelle was talking about that I completely flew out of my head. The whole sitting down together by the fire and stuff, the so-called eyeball queso. Yeah, that is a heap of fun and I definitely do enjoy it. Anyway, thanks very much again, Brook. And finally for this round, we have K1 KRT Kurt. Kurt, so what do you like about field-safe besides field-based health? Well, good evening, Gregor and the rest of the night. Yes, K1 KRT Kurt on beautiful Anderson Island. Hey, first of us have a history moment. You know, talk about the Comorito Club meeting at Western State Hospital. Before it was Western State Hospital, it was Fort Stalatham, which was a U.S. military base. It kind of was around from the 1850s and to the beginning, 70 or so. And prior to it, in DuPont, Washington was Fort Nisqually, which was a Hudson's Bay, trading fort, and the two of them kind of worked with each other until we were no longer part of the Britain. And they transferred things over. Let me break here. And after that history moment, my favorite part of field day is, you know, in any of our club activities that we do on the island here, I always bring a handful of FRS walkie-talkies, and I love to interact with kids. And anytime a kid comes by the table, I say, hey kid, why don't walkie-talkie. You know, and I put on the walkie-talkie like cats and dogs, and I spelled them out philatically. I said, hey, go around the corner there or go down the field and call me. And so they would call me and say, this is Charlie Alpha Tango, and I respond back. So I feel like I'm planting some seeds. So I like some of the little things that we do besides radio contacts. This is a K1KRT back then that. Yeah, that is a great practice, kudos to you for doing that. And thanks for the history lesson. I actually went to what was then called Fort Sullicom's Community College for a couple of years, way back when, and was just up the hill from the Western State Hospital, which was, I think it got closed during the time I was there, if I remember correctly. I don't really remember though. Anyway, thanks very much Kurt. And alright, that ends round two. We would like to come and talk to us in round three. That's on W6, S-V-N-X.
