KI7RMU, KK7IJZ. Oh hi Rebecca, thank you so much for doing the net. We're monitoring the situation with one of the stations that just checked in recently, so I just want to let everybody know we're on the lookout for updates on that. And so just everybody stand by if you can. Alright, okay, thank you so much and we wish for a positive outcome. KI7RMU, back to you Rebecca. Thank you so much for that Jack. I appreciate you and I, yes, I appreciate your kindness and empathy and the amount of care and thoughtfulness that you put into our club and our super fun social nets. So thank you so much Jack73. Alright, we had an I.O. from Robert, KJ7JXM and we also had an I.O. from Cammie, KJ7RAB. And, whoops, I just kicked Andy, oh my poor little dog. Next on the list is Megan, K9MLR. Hey Megan, please come ahead with your report. Good evening Rebecca and everyone out there on the net. K9MLR, Megan here at home in Newcastle. I am currently working on the Rain or Shine ice cream social tickets. So that's kind of funny. Printed them all out in color on cardstock and now I'm cutting them down because I printed two per page and they don't need to be that big. I am currently working on that. It has been a busy evening. Brooks, K9VDC is at the Seahawks game. So I am at home with the station managers and Rebecca, I made dinner, cleaned up dinner, I painted the trim in his office because the popcorn ceiling is coming down this weekend and it is getting a beautiful fresh coat of paint. And let me tell you Rebecca, even painting the trim, the walls don't look white anymore. So it was kind of funny. I was like, oh, those walls now look yellow. So that's what I have been up to trying to get caught up so many little things going on that if I don't stay ahead I get behind and I can't get behind right before the school year starts. So that's what I'm up to. Thank you for doing the net 33 to you, Rebecca, Kami and all the other YOs out there, K9MLR. Well, thank you so much for that report, Megan. That's fun. Painting, painting, painting. There's nothing like a fresh coat of paint. Honestly, chef's kiss. I'm a big fan of color. I love color. I love color and I love flavor. And I have to explain those. Just imagine that I'm texting an old cat. I love color and I love flavor. Yeah, but have fun. It's going to be fun. Yeah. We'll have a fun night in. You girls have a fun night in. I hope you do a lot of, I don't know, dog stuff and people stuff and yeah, sign the tickets. Thank you so much, Megan, for everything you do and you are awesome. 33 and all the YOs out there, Kami. Awesome. 33 and all the numbers. This is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. And next on the list is Jim and Jay at Deer Lake. K7PDZ, KK7IJZ. Well, good evening there, Rebecca and everybody out there tonight. Yeah. What am I doing here? Oh yeah, that's what I'm trying to do is get up the Vodascope and I don't know where it is. There it is. Anyway, yeah, tonight, you know, I've talked about our C cycle in the past. This pedal thing that we have that uses real propellers and chain drive and everything. And we finally got nav lights on it. And so tonight we took it out after sunset. And so we had a lot of fun. There was one other fishing boat on the lake. It's cold over here tonight. It's only 61 degrees. But it's a bit windy, but it's calmed down tonight and we had the whole lake to ourselves. But anyway, it was fun being out there after dark with real, honest to goodness, nav lights on the C cycle. So there were so many, so many iterations of how are we going to put lights on this thing. Because it's plastic, you know, we can't drill holes through it. You can't glue something to it. Suction cups don't work. And so anyway, finally everything came together and we bought the lights and it's up and running. And so tonight was our major voyage, so to speak, after sunset. And we had a good time. So anyway, whatever the thing they're talking about with Jack, I tuned in a little bit late after the net got started. So I don't know what that's about, but I'm going to certainly listen out the rest of it and see what that's about. So anyway, back to you, Rebecca. Rebecca, 737, everybody, and have a great weekend. This is Jim and Kay in a tier-light K7. Well, Jim, thank you so much for your report. And yeah, it was fun. Yeah, I have heard about your C cycle, but yeah, that's fun. That's fun. You two have fun. I love it. I love it so much. 33 Jane, and thank you so much, Jim, for checking in and have fun. Have fun out there on Dan Lake. Woo hoo. All right, next and last on this list is James just outside of Detroit. And the last part of your call sign is WW. I always forget to write down the whole thing even though I know it's like W4WW. That's not what it is. But James, please come ahead with your report. Net control, W8WW. Good evening, Rebecca and everyone on the net. I just got home. I'm playing 16 hours on P25. Got another 16 planned for tomorrow. Don't know if I mentioned this before. I have an ICOM ID5100. And I found out that RT Systems now allows you to light your settings to the SD card rather than having a programming cable. And I've been setting everything up with that, which is a hell of a lot easier than using the ICOM software. I mean, I spent the meager funds to purchase the software. And in, I'd say, 30 minutes, it was able to give me everything I need. That was taking me over two hours struggling with the ICOM software. But, yeah, I had some discussions with various parties about my uncle's estate today. So, looks like I'm going to try to sell the two ICOM 706s. I have one's a Mark IIG and the other's, I believe, just a Mark II on that. So I've got to get those listed for sale. I think one of them is going to have the ICOM antenna tuner for screwdriver antennas. I don't think it's made by ICOM. But that and the other, I probably might package the head separation kit and go from there. But I need to get things going on that. But nothing else here. Oh, yeah. I had an incident on a ladder over the past month, twice. Turns out I have an occult fracture in my fibia, which I guess is the same thing as called an airline fracture. But they call it the occult because it's usually not visible on the x-ray, but the MRI picked it out. So with that, we'll send it back to you, Rebecca. W8WU here outside Detroit. Be sure to gloss over that last part, James. So is it so that you injured yourself on the first fall and then the second fall was just like icing on the cake? Also, why are you falling? What's going on? What's going on with you, James? Why are you falling off the ladders? Back to you. Okay, Rebecca, I have to wait there. I guess somebody had an open carrier for a moment. So the reason why I was up on the ladder twice, one was braced to the side of the house as I was trying to adjust the mounting. I was able to eventually get my dual-band base station antenna up about 20 to 25 feet above the roof line and finally got that taken care of. But the first time, the hinges on this new ladder for some reason didn't lock in, so the ladder collapsed inward. So the top of the ladder went away from the house and so I fell backwards. The second time, I was on the side of the house coming down from the roof and it collapsed lower where it was just clinging to the gutter. When that happened, one of my legs fell through in between the rungs, so I was rather calm on everything. I was working myself because I have a trailer behind me. I was trying to see if I could get my leg out and then jump back onto the roof of the trailer. But that didn't come to being because the ladder eventually slipped. I was hanging on the end of the gutters there. Luckily, somebody attached them to the side of the house with some pretty strong nails because this was near the furthest edge of the house. But the thing is that it folded over into an A-shape below me and I had the current Mrs. Keller where the ladder below me was able to drop down to the bottom of the ladder. So at one point or the other, it happened. Also, it tore the hell out of my left shoulder. I think that probably was from the hanging part. But I visited the orthopedic surgeon on Monday to see what he recommends. The pain and walking, that's totally disappeared, but this shoulder really makes you reminded me of the pain. Back to neck control, W8WW here outside Detroit. James, oh my gosh. Well, you know, I would talk to you about ladder safety, but why bother? We all passed our technician exams and became amateur radio operators. There's a whole section on ladder safety, so that's all I'm going to say. But anyway, James, thank you so much for your report. I love your P25 reports. I feel like one of our regular operators, Andrew, KF7LMX, this is P25 a lot as well. I have to give that, that has more to do with trains, I think. But I love hearing your P25 reports. That's great, James. It's good to hear from you. I hope that someone goes to your house and takes all your letters and throws them in a dumpster that you'll never find. But only, yes, I guess we can't all have what we wish for. 7-3, James. Stay off the ladders. Alright, this is Rebecca, KK7IJZ. You're listening to the 9 p.m. PSRG social net. Let's start another round. Call sign and name, RF and internet. KF7, OK. Doug. What's up, Doug? KF7, OK. Got you on the list. More stations, please. Alpha, Bravo 6. Mike, Bravo. Jeff. Hey, Jeff. Got you on the list. More stations, please. KK7WID, Allen in Bremerton. Hey, Allen. Did you want to, did you need to go ahead and go or do you want to stay in queue? I can stay in queue. Cool. More stations, please. KG7ODB. Hey, Steve. Got you on the list. More stations, please. Keto, Bravo 5. Tango, Whiskey Golf. Tony with an I-hope. Thank you for your I-O. Got you on the list. I-073. Have a great Friday. Thursday night, Friday. I don't know whether it's... Anyway, Jeff. Thank you for your I-073. I'm going to go ahead and draw a line there and go back to Doug. KF7OK, what's going on, Doug? Hey, how you doing? KF7OK. Doug is home in near Linwood. So I'm on grid. I actually have hot and cold running water and electricity. And so thank you for hosting the net and everything and I enjoy listening to everybody. I actually listen a whole lot more than I check in, so, you know, I'm just going to check in more. Life's been good. I'm still chopping some wood that I brought back from my off-grid property and stacking it. I'm kind of slow put together. I'm usually a bit more active when I'm out there, but, you know, slow put together. And yesterday I took today off from it, but I've been logging my workouts for the last seven years. I decided one day I rolled out of bed, I felt like crap. And I thought that, you know what, I'm going to start working out again like I did in my 20s and 30s. And I, without any breaks or anything, I've not taken any breaks in the last seven years, I completed workout number 2,700 and I'm up to, you know, 2,701. So I thought I feel really good. I can make a long list of everything that it fixed in me. No meds, no nothing, perfectly healthy. I'm as strong as I was 30 years ago, literally, and everybody should do it. Other than that, enjoy some ham radio and a little bit of time and I look forward to working in my yard tomorrow. So back to you, KF7OK. Well done. Thank you so much for that report. And yes, 2,701. That's great. Just chopping. What? Just getting slow. You know what? That's fine. Why do you need to go fast? Just go slow. Chop wood slow. Deliver it. Like meditation. You know, just stacking, working in the garden and just being strong. Well, welcome back to Linwood, Doug. And yes, I hope that you get to go back to your off-grid paradise sometime soon. Back to no running water and yes, back to peace and quiet. Back to not Linwood. But anyway, Doug, thank you so much for your report. 73 and I'm looking forward to hearing about workout number 2,702 tomorrow. Next on the list is Jeff in Onion City. How's it going, Jeff? Alpha Bravo Six Mike Bravo, KK7IJZ. Thank you, Rebecca. Thank you for doing the net. Excuse me. Yeah, today, I see a pretty just not a really busy day. Just kind of kick back. And, you know, well, the squirrels were around, you know, so it's fun watching them eating and eating the nuts and the peanuts. And Rocky came by later on and looked in the window at me and, you know, got him some nuts. And, you know, just pretty nice to see them chase each other. They can really move. And I kind of watched the tour de France, the men and women's version of it. And, you know, the women have a different flair on the way they do it. And it's just kind of cool. It's just the difference, I think, intensity. But they definitely are intense, but it just seems like they're, I don't know, it just has, they have a different feel for it. And they're darn good. So anyway, I hit the temperature today, hit around 80 today. And the warmest was better in a few days. And I'm hoping that I'll see tomorrow, supposed to be 84 and 85 the next day than 81. And it's going down into the 70s after that. And I have this quake detector up that I use on my phone that I have over here. And I can glance at it and see what earthquakes have been hitting. They have different alarms set to make noise, but it's called California Seismologist. And it's kind of neat to have there just to see what's going on around the world, earthquake-wise. And then I went over some history today and enjoying that quite a bit because I really enjoy history. I actually watched this program, I haven't finished it. Leonardo da Vinci designed a chateau for this one French king. And just the way he did it was just amazing. And he put all the plans down and then he died before they could start. But they went ahead anyway. And I guess it was pretty amazing just the detail and what he's done. Leonardo da Vinci was simply an amazing man. And I got my weather stations going here. I have a couple of them up. One is from the patio, gives you the temperature and very magnetic pressure. And then the other one does the forecast and wind speed and all that. It's kind of neat to have them both up and I kind of keep an eye on the weather out there that way. And for tonight I had dinner of buttered chicken with brown rice. I got this frozen buttered chicken meal. And I have these bags of brown rice that you can heat up. You know, it's quick to make and I just take the buttered chicken and I pour it over the top of the brown rice. And it's really good. It's just a good tasty meal. I can make two meals out of it which is pretty nice. Anyway, that was my day today. So let me turn it back to the net. AB6MB. KG6RYC. I don't know how much time I have left but one last message out. It seems I'm like a hockey puck or something. Being used in a game, I don't know what the game is called, I don't know, baseball or something, by the Billionaire Boys Club. And these are all kinds of degenerates and stuff like Rauhoti Rahim and Larry Page and all kinds of dumbasses. And now I have a whole, I've been having to deal with two police car chases a day. And now they're shining their lights on me where my thingy shack is. It's unlikely that I'll get out of this alive but yeah, good. KG6RYC. Sorry, you get on with your lives. I'll just die quietly. Back to the net. Well Jeff, thank you so much for your report. I appreciate it. Thank you for the squirrel report. Jack, that was KG6RYC. Patrick. I, yeah, butter chicken. Tonight I made this really great stir fried veggies and then I made some white beans. And then what I do is I'll make a big pot of brown rice and then just like givvy it up and freeze it. So I can take out a portion for whatever meal I need. I guess I think that I'm the only one now who eats rice in the house. Everyone else is on a diet. Well thank you so much Jeff. And did you want to promote your antenna net that's happening tomorrow? Back to you Jeff. Alpha Bravo 6, Mike Bravo, KK7IJZ. KG6RYC, Patrick. I've been told one of the participants is Dubai Chocolate. I went to a neighbouring 7-Eleven near my home, one-five-eight-six-one, north of 8th. And there's one of the certain place jobs. And he's saying in front of him was Dubai Chocolate. I've never seen that brand before. You're the motherfucker. So the light is now shining on me. Bravo. Bye. KG6RYC. Have a nice life. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November. Okay. Yeah the antenna net is every Friday night at 7pm. And we have a special time for new hams on there. And if you want to know how to get there, go to my QRZ page and it will tell you to scroll down and then you'll be able to come in via different modes. So back to you there Rebecca, AB6MB. Well thank you so much for that, Beth. And yeah, it's such a great net too. So Jeff is super active on the Papa system in Southern California. And so his antenna net is in the Papa system. So check it out even if you just listen or it's for all sorts of ham radio operators. It's seasoned operators and new hams. And yeah it's a great technical net that happens every Friday 7 o'clock Pacific time. And you can find a link to the net on Jeff's website. I'm not website. QRZ page. QRZ page Alpha Bravo 6 Mike Bravo. Well thanks for coming back with that Jeff. I appreciate it. 7 3 and thank you for the scroll report. Alright next on the list is Alan in Bremerton. KK7WID. Please come ahead with your report. This is Alan in KK7WID. I've been awfully busy all summer. I'm a teacher normally so I'm a summer. I should have lots of free time but I'm busy all summer doing a remodel in the bathroom which is finally done. So I am now able to actually enjoy having a great summer. KF7OK or what's KF6OK? I mentioned working out again and it's been nice now that I'm done with that to actually get back to the gym and sweat and work out. I forgot how much I enjoy the feeling of finishing a workout. Sometimes doing the workout itself is a little unpleasant. But the feeling you get when the workout is done is really really nice. They're not lying when they talk about a runner's high. And I'm looking forward now to enjoying the rest of my summer vacation. Now that that project is done I'm able to do some working out. I helped my daughter move into their college apartment and I hope to have a little bit of time off here before I've got to get back to the grind of teaching students how to make music when school starts. Back to that KK7WID. Well Alan thank you so much for your report. Are you reading any last minute books before you start back to teaching? Back to you Alan. Just every night the tradition that my wife and I have is every night when we go to bed I read her a couple chapters of whatever book we're on. So it's always just fiction. The current one is the first novel in the Lady of Devices series. But it's just fun fiction just to have someone to read to put us all to bed to. I don't have any professional reading this summer. Just taking it easy. Back to that KK7WID. Yep that's what I was fishing for. Well that's great. I love that. Yeah well that's great. Well congratulations on getting the bathroom done. How fun. It's like you don't even realize how much time you spend in the bathroom until you realize how much time you spend in your bathroom. Right? But yeah and daughter off to college. All of these things. Yes. Well yeah well thank you so much for checking in Alan. I appreciate it. And also keep us in the know of all of your upcoming gig dates too. I know that sometimes you do. Yeah I know that sometimes you do gigs on your own. So yeah let us know. And it's great to hear from you Alan. Have a wonderful rest of your summer. And enjoy working out and sweating. You and Doug KF7 OK. Maybe y'all can go and chop wood together and just get. Chop wood and just big arms. Anyway. 7-3 Alan. You'll have a good night and clear the stage to your wife. Alright next on the list is Dean. KG7ODB33. I'm 33 not 33. 88. All the hugs to Dean. Dean. Please come ahead with your report. Good evening Rebecca and everybody on the net. This is Dean KG7ODB. Near Bitter Lake in North Seattle. So I think over the weekend when you me and Matt went to have ice cream. I think that was I think that was something you set up with Jack to get ice cream on everybody's mind. Because you probably heard on a couple of the other nets. That was kind of the subject like people would bring up ice cream. Specifically our little get together and I think it got people hungry for ice cream. And that's going to drive up attendance to the ice cream social this weekend on Sunday. Anyway. So I'm just sitting here I'm watching the Seahawks game. Again I heard Brooks is there. I guess he's pretty lucky to be there. It's a nice night to be down at the stadium. But it's pre-season. It's one of these games that doesn't matter. It's just an exhibition game. But it's the first one of the year. And there are a whole bunch of new players that we've never seen before. So it gives us a chance to see them. So we're getting you know we're in the fourth quarter now. It started late. It started at seven. Seahawks are winning 23 to 13. I almost said Oakland Raiders but it's the Las Vegas Raiders. And it's interesting because the Raiders their coach is Pete Carroll who used to be our coach. And their quarterback although their quarterback Geno Smith only played in the first quarter. Yeah he used to be our quarterback. And so some familiar faces is kind of a homecoming for those people. But I think one of the stars of the show not the game is Marshawn Lynch because he's been roaming around the sidelines with a camera with a big telephone. And he was up in the booth a little while ago. So anyway it's fun to have football back. So anyway this is Dean KG 7 ODB back to that.
