I'm going to start on the check in. This is the show off of the tango whiskey golf county in Wichita Falls, Texas. Anybody who's on the net tonight, it's good to be here again. Sometimes my board gets in the wind, and I'm not able to get on. All right, it's a busy day today. We're 13 minutes away from our 100, 700 micro ride here in Wichita Falls. And so we're doing a little bit of the Angioregionally and the Palm Church, the waste blanket, and all the folks who are coming up to the rest stops and the recent fire vehicles and water trailers and things like that. Getting our supplies ready for our meeting in the 2030s from now, but trying to get all that stuff squared away. And other than that, doing a little bit of research, trying to get some interest in all this fire and maybe get a couple more people checked into y'all's nets every in the evening. So we're kind of working on a cloud hub or a node and doing some research on that and exactly what would it take and where to go and what servers are the better ones and all the way from whichever ones will get us the best throughput to be able to get more people attached in. So that's all that we've got going on here in North Central Texas. And here is Tony. Turn up by 5, 10, and he's off. Thank you. Hey, good stuff there, Tony. Well, tell us after the event how that piece had hotter than hell a bike ride there. It sounds like you're doing a lot of coordination there for the hand radio and the water stations and all that good stuff. So once again, another two examples back to the back of using hand radio in the community for events. We love that around here for sure. So we have some other hubs that connect in. We regularly get the dew drop in and some others there that join us and we get stations checking in from all over the world. We love it there. So let us know how it goes. If I give some constructive feedback, Tony, you're a little bit hot on your mic. It almost sounds like you're just too close. I'd say just back off maybe a couple inches. Not sure what kind of mic or radio you were talking into through the All Star. It was a little bit hot, a little bit overdriven there. Other than that, it sounded good. So thanks for that, Tony. Let us know how it goes. We'll get you down the log. All right, again, I'm Brian, KE7KZH, 859 O'ClockNet. We have three more ins on this round. So up next, Ron, how are you doing tonight? HE7EXM, please give us a report. Well, this is Kate, HE7EXM here. My report goes as follows. I had a nice day today. Although it could have been better had I had a one bus away info that I really wanted. But it wasn't top, so I couldn't tell which bus was supposed to go anywhere close. So I wasn't able to show up to the ringer time, but there are other times. And so I know there was a time when I was supposed to show up at the next one. But I hope everybody had fun over there at the park because that's a good park to go to. Otherwise, I'm doing okay. And I've been wondering why I was feeling kind of, you know, slinky. And it's because it's hot. I didn't count on it to be this warm today. I was thinking like 60s, 70s. I didn't count on it being 80s, but okay. But I'm feeling okay. I didn't count on it being 80s, but okay. Other than that, I had a nice long talk with KJ 7R Dale earlier. Hold on a second. And I was via text, so we were texting back and forth. So I'm pretty sure that anybody that was near KJ 7R Dale heard a little conversation that was going on. But basically I was teasing him. He was teasing me when he started it. I finished it. But of course he had to come back. And so I told him I can't turn the sun off. It doesn't work that way. My arm's not that long. It's about a million miles away. It's kind of hard for me to stretch my arm out that far. But we had a good chat. So that was good. And then I mentioned something about cup cups. So yeah, that conversation was good. But then I also asked him how was his little trip going up the stairs. He said he was fine. Although a little mishap, but otherwise it's fine I guess. But we had a good time chatting via text. And so I know everybody had fun today. And I'm glad they did because that's the way to go. Especially for being almost the end of summer. So who knows. I'm going to go have a good time listening to the rest of you. Because that's the thing to do. And now that I'm going to get us back on. This is KJ7EXM. Turn you back to net control. Like yours. Well, I'm glad you had a great day there, Sean. Even if you didn't make the Rainers shine ice cream net today. I just hope you had a good time. And I'll see you next time. Sean, have you not learned how to turn the sun off yet? Come on. Good luck. You have a great day there, Sean. We'll catch you down the log here real soon. All right. Down to Zephyrhil, Florida we go. Tonight Elaine. And three oink, oink. Otherwise known as oink entry OMO. I'll say it correctly there. How are you tonight, Elaine? This is repeater station Kielo. Thank you, Brian. This is Elaine. And three OMO. I'm doing very well tonight. Thank you. It's been a great day. It's been warm. We felt like 102 degrees. Which is nothing unusual for what it is this time. Had some good things going on. We had some good things going on. We had some good things going on. Had some good things coming up this week. Had to make a phone call tomorrow. I decided to get a generator for the house. Something like a Generex generator. But I have to call a cocaine company. And see how we go about hooking up another extra tank. And if they deal with anybody here like Generex or someone else. For a generator. Because I decided with Rob, my brother, we don't need to be without power or air conditioning or lights. Especially me with my heart problems and COPD. And the animals. They've got to stay cool. So I think this will be a good investment. So I've got to do some digging on that tomorrow. And some other things. Let me see what else. Not very much is happening. It's been a good day. Good week. I decided to get a little more productive. And start writing or doing my pedaling machine twice a day. To make a 30 minutes a day now. And I've got a weekly plan of books that I want to make. And I've got a weekly book that I want to make. And I've got a weekly book that I want to make. And I've got a weekly book that I want to make. And I've got a weekly plan of books that I want to make. And I've got a weekly plan of books that I want to make. And I've got a weekly plan of books that I want to make. And I'm also going to be starting a 52 week travel study for women on my own. So I think that will be a good thing to do. There's certain meetings every day. So that will be good. And I kind of like the idea that it takes Sunday off. So you can catch up with your reading if you've missed any. Or just be with family. Which is the most important. So I'm looking forward to this week to seeing how I can change some of my own behaviors. And make it a little more productive. I still want to watch my game show and things like that too. But I've been sitting too much and not getting as much done as I need to get done. Let me take a break. In 3LMO returning. I also have to start going through all the papers in the house and my desk. And blocking out all of the information I don't want people to know before I shred it. And put it in the garbage. I've got to start doing things like that every week. To try and clear some of this stuff out and get more organized. So when my time comes, and I think it's going to be anytime soon. But when my time does come, my brothers won't have to go through all that and decide what's this and what's that. I can get rid of all the stuff I don't need anymore and make it a lot easier for everyone. So that's my plan for this week. All the animals are doing fine. My brother starts driving school bus tomorrow for the year. And here in Florida, his first pick up is at 521. And school starts at 630. Unbelievable. But then they're out at 1 o'clock. So that works out well. But he doesn't get home until 4. Anytime he picks up all the kids and he gets back to running place and all that, back to his school. But anyway, school starts tomorrow. So everybody have a good day. Good day tomorrow. Or today actually. Because it's quarter to 1 here a.m. So it's a Monday here already. So thanks for taking my call, Brian. 73, 88 to all. I love you all. November 3, ask and like Oscar. Wow, school starts so early there. That is crazy here in the Pacific Northwest. Or at least in Washington state, the Puget Sound area. We usually want to start until the beginning of September. So start so early. But good for Rob for driving the bus there. Keep all the kids safe there for sure. And yeah, I did get a generator installed right when I moved into this house a few months ago. It was one of the first things I did. And yeah, I did. We had to talk to the gas company, natural gas, to see what the line could support. I could not get a whole home generator without them. And I'm not going to get a whole home generator. Without them ripping up all the gas lines. And it would have cost many thousands of dollars. And they would have to remove my beautiful woodedendron bushes and all that good stuff. So I opted for a little bit smaller generator that covers all the essentials there. So I figured, eh, it's good enough in that emergency. So definitely good luck with that. And waves over to Rob and his first day driving the kids tomorrow. We'll catch you down the log there, Elaine. You have a good night. Alright, and then last on this round, we're going to go and see how Javier is doing over in Bremerton. Kilo Mike 7, Alpha, Quebec, November. How are you tonight? Please give us your report. Good evening guys, this is Javier, Kilo Mike 7, Alpha, Quebec, November. Just to let you know, I'm a movie here. I did my second time here and then I went to the 9 o'clock AM net. I just did my first IO. I'm just here to learn from you guys and just be people. Naturally from the island of Puerto Rico. And I moved to the States in 2010. Due to the nature of my job, I'm an aircraft mechanic. I've been around all the country. But then in 2019, I decided to move to the beautiful Pacific coast. In Seattle, I live at Howard. Right now I'm at Port Orchard. Working actually working on an aircraft for the rest of the week here. But yeah, I'm just here to meet all this great group of friends and camaraderie around here. And hope to learn more. I apologize for the first try that I did, the first transmission. I was trying to test my HD. Looks like the battery was a little bit low. That's why I had to go through the EcoLink. But it's just baby steps in learning. Guys, 73.12, you guys and 88. Have a good night guys. Hey, well good stuff to have you here. I just welcome welcome. Sounds like you did an I.O. this morning. But what you stumbled upon and it gets you figured out. We are here at 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. seven days a week. We also have a new net that happens every day. And so yeah, there are other nets that happen around here. So we're really glad you stumbled upon the Puget Sound Repeater Group. And again, more information about our group. We have a website there called psrg.org. We also have a Facebook page which has a lot of activity that's going on. So if you head over to Facebook and you do a search. If you have Facebook. And you do a search for the Puget Sound Repeater Group discussion group. It is a closed group but if you request membership. It's pretty easy to get in there. You answer a couple of quick questions there. We do have over a thousand members in there. And so there's a lot of good topics. We do a lot of in-person events. There's even one today over at Green Lake Park. So this is a very friendly group of people. We have, how do you say, we have new hams, old hams, seasoned hams, black forest hams. We've got it all. So yeah, if you're looking for those elmers. You definitely are in the right place. So yeah, when you check in the first time you were just barely hitting the repeater. So I'm not sure what equipment you have. But hopefully you can get that battery charged. And if you have an antenna you can hook up. We do have a lot of people over on the peninsula. You know, Paulsboro, Bremerton. Even, what is that, oh, Kingston, like over there. We have a lot of people over on that side of the ladder as well. So definitely welcome, welcome. I hope to catch you down the log here, Javier. And good luck working on that plane this week. All right. Oh yeah, so sorry. One thing that we ask, it's kind of an FCC format. Actually, let me reset. Sorry, you're taking a really long time there. One thing that we ask, and it keeps the FCC happy. And it notifies to me that you're done with your transmission. Is that you close with your call sign. So let me just send it back to you. Let me know what kind of radio that you are using. And how you're trying to make it into the net with RF. And then just close with your call sign. Back to you, Javier, real quick. Yes, sir. So I was just trying with my FP5, my GASU FP5. I was just trying with that. Like I said, I just got it a few days ago. I'm in programming channels, setting up tones, offsets and everything. Even though the GASU does a lot of the work for you. But actually, yeah, I'm just looking forward. And people are looking forward to it. I'm just looking forward. And keep learning and keep learning. And I appreciate for that. And back to you, the control. This is Kilo Mike 7, Alpha Quebec November. Have a good night. Yeah, you stood to be in. Total BN. All right. Very good. Thank you for that report. I hope to catch you down the log there. All right. I am Brian KE7KZH, the 69 o'clock net. And I am the PSRG repeater in Seattle, Washington. There's a long list here. So if you're waiting to check in, just hold off a few more minutes. I'm going to read a few announcements. Let me reset. So I do pull these announcements over from that Facebook PSRG discussion group that I mentioned just a little bit ago. Jack KI7RMU keeps a pinned topic. So if you click under, if you're in the group and you click on the featured, it will be right at the top there. So if you miss anything I'm about to say, just head on over there for more details. The first thing here, every Saturday, we have a couple of recurring events. The first one is the Radio Club of Tacoma has their open house. 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. club members and their guests and visitors are all welcome. The other thing that happens Saturday evening is the Simplex net. This is in the Puget Sound area here. So at 8 p.m. every Saturday on 146.56 we do a Simplex net. It's really cool to be able to see who you can talk to with VHF without a repeater in between you. The magic of radio propagation. It's very eye-opening sometimes who you can hear and talk to can hear you without that repeater. So if you haven't joined, it's a lot of fun. Check that out Saturday night 8 p.m. 146.56. We do have a swap meet coming up here. The PSARA antique radio and vintage electronics swap meet will be held up at Shoreline Community College on Sunday, August 17th, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Shortly after that we do have the Wooded Boat Festival coming to Port Townsend. That will be the weekend of September 5th through 7th. We also, let's see, coming up into October. Oh my gosh, I can't believe it's getting close to October already. We do have the Tour de Forest ARA Rally. We have a lot of folks in this group that participate in the rallies. They even participate in the radio communications of the event. Or just spectating and stuff. Always a good time there. Saturday, October 4th will be that Tour de Forest ARA Rally. Let me reset. Alright, we do have, let's see, the Cascadia Radio Group will be hosting a ham connect program. This is going to be on Sunday, October 5th at 3 p.m. It is a virtual event. If you have any questions or would like more information, you can email info at SeattleEmergencyHubs.org. You can also head right over to HamConnect.org for more information. And with that, I'm just going to go ahead and say again, if you missed anything, please head over to the PSRG discussion group over on Facebook. If you missed any of those websites or dates, that will have all the information. So let's turn it back to check-ins here. I am Brian, KE7, KZH. This is Nine O'clock Net.
