Let's keep it rolling and go right back up to Jonathan W0XO. Come ahead. This is Jonathan Whiskey Zero X-ray Oscar in Maple Leaf. One of my last nights in Maple Leaf, actually, we moved up to a location in Everett, down by Martha Lake. I am emptying out this house over the last few days. I've been coming to the house, taking loads away in my smaller than a panel truck truck. I was very fascinated to hear Joan, and I, you know there's a song, make me a pallet on your floor. That's sort of an idiom. I have made a pallet with a lot of curtains and stuff. Somebody laying around here. I kept taking things out of the house until there was nothing to sleep on. So I did that because I decided I wanted to get some Indian food and spend the night here. But the tricorder thing was very interesting. Also, as far as the audio on Echo Link and any of those, I know how I want my audio to sound and I know how to structure it so they can sound that way to stay within the headroom and to not brick wall or distort or clip or anything like that. The problem is, seeing that and making that knowledge apply itself, it's really hard with Echo Link. It's really hard with a lot of the other things too I've found. It's just you can't, it's not intuitive and you don't get forgiven like with analog. There's no forgiveness when digital, when you overdrive you're just not intelligible anymore. It's horrible. So anyway, it's a beautiful night here in Seattle. Welcome. W0XO in Maple Leaf. Thanks for doing the net. Your voice is so pleasant. Well, thank you, Jonathan. Nobody ever complimented my voice before. That's good to know, W0XO. Thank you so much. Yeah, as I said, I don't really know much about audio. I'm just glad to get a signal out. The one thing I do like, of course, on Echo Link is it does have that test facility right built into it so you can record your own voice. You can at least hear what the tweaking that you've done, you can hear how it sounds. So I really like that. Very good. Thank you. Let's move ahead and talk to John, W7JSM. John, how are you today? Well, good evening, everybody. This is John, W7JSM. I'm doing good. I spent a lot of the day with one of the grandkids, Oswald. He's 16 months old. He's walking some and a happy little kid. But I had my guitar out today, so I put a pitch in his hand and showed him how to strum on the strings. So he was doing that and he was really giggling. He was quite enjoying that. I'll keep moving him in that direction. Anyway, I'll be mad. It's been a pretty good weekend. I haven't really been out in about a month because it's a sea fair and I know what traffic is going to be like out there. I plan on watching the hydro races and the Blue Angels show tomorrow on TV, but I haven't really done a lot other than that. So I've just been kind of hanging around the house. W7JSM. Well, hanging around the house with grandkids is extra special. And how great you had Oswald picking away at your guitar. I've noticed with our grandkids, his little kids just like music. It's just so natural. I was watching a band performance in a park a few months ago and just watching the two, three, four, five year olds, they just dance. They just get out there and dance and have a great time. It's really fun to watch. Thank you, John. You are listening to the 9 p.m. PSRG social net. My name is Bill, K7WSB. If you want to chat with us, come ahead. Give me your call sign in your name.
