I thought I heard somebody else in there. Alright, uh, M3, O-M-O, good morning, Elaine. Good morning to you. It's a beautiful hot day here. Um, we're gonna be close to 100 again. And, um, that makes it very, very warm. Although some of the cats don't mind and they're still out on the screen porch. We've got the door cracked open so they can come in when they want to. So, um, they're quite happy. No similar inside though. Um, I had a strange experience last night. Um, yesterday, I received a letter from my bank stating that, um, it was tied to my yearly charge of $20 for my, um, of safety closet box. And I don't even remember getting a safety closet box. So we went to the bank yesterday and sure enough, I did take one out a year ago in July 26th. They had the papers and yes, it was my signature, but I couldn't find my keys. And she said, well, we gave you a red envelope and showed me what it looked like with two keys in it. And I said, well, I don't know what you do. She said, well, go home and look for your keys. Cause if you can't find them, there is a $300 charge to the keys. So we got in the car and I turned to my higher power and I said, okay, please show me where those keys are. So we went back home and actually in the car, I had my eyes closed and in my mind side, I saw the red envelope in my jewelry box. So I came home, went directly to the jewelry box and guess what? That's where it was. I was so grateful and so thankful. And I screamed for my brother, Rob, and I said, come here, I found them. And there they were right where I saw it in my mind's eye. That was just unbelievable. So we're going to go back today and return the keys and see if I have anything in the box. I don't even know. So if anybody has a safety closet box, make sure you know where your keys are. So anyway, back to you. Have a great day. This is November 3, ask Mike Oskar. Alright, thank you Elaine. I used to have a safety closet box a long time ago. My dad always did. That's why I did, I guess. But I couldn't figure out anything worthwhile putting in it. So I finally cancelled that and have a fire safe lock box that I keep papers in. Anyway, that's a lot more accessible, although the same key problem exists. Alright, thank you Elaine. And the KJ7WQI. Good morning, ma'am. Good morning, Bill. It's afternoon over here on the East Coast. Just flew from San Antonio up to Washington, D.C. And we're a little bit delayed heading up to Boston next. We're going to be boarding in the next like 10 minutes or so. We're delayed for haze and smoke in the Boston area. The Canadian wildfires have officially started to drift over towards the East Coast and towards Boston. I'm sure the air quality is going to be a little bit lower. But yeah, I get home relatively early today. One more flight, a little over an hour in flight between here and Boston. And then I'll be home and able to relax. So I'll throw it back to you. Thanks for running in that, Bill. Everybody have a good one. KJ7WQI. Alright, thank you, Matt. And thank you for checking in from the airport. Glad you weren't boarding yet. So smoke drifting in from Canada. I think we have some of that here also, but we're generating our own fires too. Alright, and once you get through all of that, I'll get home. And home is always a great goal, isn't it? I think about that one. I look at the freeway at rush hour. Everybody is headed home. And that's where you go. That's where comfort is. Alright, thank you, ma'am. This is the 9 o'clock net for a Tuesday morning. This is W7VAS for Jenkins, please. Kilo Indigo 7 Romeo Yankee Whiskey David with a recheck. Alright, yeah, David, go ahead. Okay, thank you. I have two things here. I'm looking into the CTCSS on the computer to figure out why it might delay. It's not really a PL tone, but there might be something similar. Also, I'm not sure maybe you or someone can clarify, please. When you transmit and the repeater transmits out, and then you finish and I can hear you unkey, there's another moment of, it sounds like the channel is being used. The channel frequency is active if not carrying a strong signal. So am I supposed to wait until that drops, which can be a few seconds? Or should I, this delay that we're emphasizing now to make this effective, even if I have a setting I need to update, should I key and then delay? And so I've been trying to do a combination of both. That's the one. The other thing for our new friend from Rockaway, New York, I heard you mention the 9 a.m. net and the 9 p.m. net, and now for a few years we've been having a noon o'clock net every day. And that's, I think, we're hundreds and hundreds for a few years now, consecutive. And so just to pass on a little bit further, emphasize what you were saying. It's a strong community of people just checking in, saying hi, coming and going, and updating on useful information here and there. So that's kind of a question, or sharing my exploration points on the radio transmit issue, and then also emphasizing the value of the community. Thank you for running the net today and everyone else who regularly for years and years and years, decades now for the 9 o'clocks and years now for the 12 o'clock noon net. And then we do the weekends, of course, like this coming weekend onsite, kind of get-togethers for the noon net. Alright, that's going to be it, KI7 RYW. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. Alright, thank you David. And, yeah, well I was talking about the 9 o'clock net history of the 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. But yes, you're right, the noon net that Jack started and I guess still runs, and that's the same concept. I'm always doing something else at noon and I miss that net, but I know it exists. I suppose if I were active with it I would think about it more. Okay, thank you. Oh, and your other question. No, you don't have to wait for it to drop out at all, but what you do need to wait for is the courtesy tone. And the, you know, when I stop transmitting here it'll pause a beep and then you'll hear the beep. Once you hear the courtesy tone, the beep, then the channel is clear for you to step in. Um, yeah, that courtesy beep lets you know that the calendar is reset, basically. Okay, this is the 9 o'clock net. More check-ins, please. Whiskey Quebec 7 Hotel, this is James. Good morning, James. WQ 7H. And next, please. Alpha, Bravo 6. Mike, Bravo. Morning, Jeff. AB 6. Mike, Bravo. Next, please.
