Any other stations you'd like to get in, please come ahead. This is Whiskey Alpha Seven, Echo Victor Zoo, Sebastian. Sebastian. And there's Sebastian tonight. Whiskey Alpha Seven, Echo Victor Zoo. Sorry, I got to take a breath here. And right, Sebastian. And I'm going to draw a line right there. Again, I'm Brian TE7KZH. And I'm going to be looking for Madeline, KJ7NUW, for the 9 o'clock net. How are you tonight, Madeline? Please give us your report. Hello, Brian. Hello to the net. What a nice day it was today. I mean, not only was it just really nice weather here in Seattle, and a perfect day to go to the park, but also it was so nice just to see everybody, and to be outside, and to celebrate Brooks and Megan, and to celebrate our community, really. So anyway, I loved it. The ice cream was yummy. And the time in the park was great. And I was so grateful to everybody who checked in this morning on the morning net, because I stood in for Jack and ran the 9 AM net while Jack was getting everything set up down the park. And it was just a lot of fun. It was a lot of fun to run the net this morning. So thanks, and a radio wave to everybody who checked in today for me. And a huge shout out to Jack too. Jack does a huge amount of work in organizing these things, and bringing the equipment. And yeah, I kind of feel like a lot of the energy of PSRG in these events kind of revolves around Jack. So a really big hat tip to him, and a huge debt of gratitude, I think, for me, because I super appreciate that we can do this together. OK, well, I think that's about it. Just kind of winding down for the evening. And yeah, just enjoying the afterglow and having a really nice weekend with you all. KJ7 and UW, back to you. Hey, good stuff there, Madeline. Glad you were able to make it to that Rainier Shine Neck and some ice cream. Celebrate Brooks and Megan. Very cool. And I have to plus one your sentiment towards Jack. KI7, RMU. I think people don't realize how much he does behind the scenes. Some of it's visible, and we see that he does a lot more behind the scenes that pulls this all together. Makes it seamless. It's perfect. So Jack, I bet you're out there listening. Tip of the hat to you. Thank you for all you do. So very cool. Thanks for sharing that, Madeline, and running that 9 AM net this morning. We'll catch you down the log here. All right, up next, Mike, how are you tonight? KJ7, Victor, Echo, UNIPAR. Please give us a report. Located in Shelton, Washington. Hi, Brian. You know, Jack knows more people than any of the ministers in any of the churches I've known. I mean, yeah, he's got quite a little social life going, hasn't he? So yeah, I've gone up around 11. I didn't do much of anything today. Kind of a wake up and, you know, smell the coffee kind of day. Welcome to the proud recluse walking down my wall. Katrina, I'll get you something to play with. Yeah, and the other side of the house has actually outdoor. There are black widows in the woodpile. They're real timid. You can't just pick up a piece of wood and just bang on it. They'll go walking into the darkness. They don't like being disturbed and light and things. So last night, I've been doing the kind of the inverted summer night shift thing, where you're up all night and you're asleep during the day too. Last night, between about 2 and 3.30, the tribal that has their village across the locks from me down at 35th and north side of the ship canal, we're doing some fussy drumming for hours and hours. Great. I mean, there's what, an hour and about three weeks past the powwows. They're doing farewell ceremonies and then homecomings when they get there probably, my guess. But yeah, they were doing responses from Daybreak Star. Very loud ones. A lot of people up there at the parade at the ceremony grounds. And then the rest of them were down by the locks at their village. It was back and forth, back and forth. It was really interesting to hear those ceremonial stuff. And yeah, I love having them around here. At least they've got sovereignty. And they've got relatives in Canada that they can't ever see, many of them. It's just Canada, they don't have sovereignty. So the CBSC gives them all that stuff. Trying to get across the border usually. And I know a trans person at my senior center who can't get a passport because in another country, her sex is not what it says in her certificate. That's kind of interesting. Factoid about that stuff. Oh well, you're an American for sure. QED is your V-E-U. Thanks, Brian. OK, very interesting. We had talked about the powwow that would be going on. We'd mentioned it on the net in the announcements a number of times. And I don't know if I've gotten any reports of that. So very interesting. Even at 2 around 3.30 AM, they were still going there doing some of the stuff there. So very, very cool. Well, thanks for sharing that for sure. And yeah, these hot nights, I'm sure it's probably easier. When it's so hot during the day, it's hard to get stuff done. You're up all night there. Well, good stuff there. Thanks for sharing that, Mike. You have a great night. We'll catch you down the log. All right, Amy, KB9, IQX. Did I say that right? How are you tonight, Amy? Please give us a report. Well, good evening, Brian. Thank you for doing the net. Good evening to everybody on the net. Yeah, you said that absolutely correctly. There is more than one way to do things. There's more than one way to say things. So really, anyway, you say it. It's correct. Anyway, I'm having a good evening. Right now, I am within eye shot. That's like ear shot, but visual. Within eye shot of the Statue of Liberty here on Alki. Just taking the scenic route, or the scenic route. Zibboleth, shibboleth, depending on how you say it. Taking that back home. Delivered some goods to somebody that needed some stuff out here, so good deal with that. Ran some errands. And yeah, it was really, I'm actually pretty tired. After today, I realized how much, like I didn't sit at all during the rain or shine. So I was on my feet talking to people. Didn't really hydrate enough. Didn't really hydrate enough yesterday when I was doing yard work. So I've got some makeup hydration to do. So I am actually on my way up to the Safeway, help that admiral. Going to get myself some fizzy water. Going to get a bag of ice. Make sure I've got provisions for that. And yeah, it was a really good day. Hanging out with people, seeing people, talking to people. Weirdly enough, I didn't actually talk much on the radio today. Oh no, I did check into Madeline's net in the morning, but that was at my house. And then I didn't check into the new net. But funny thing is today, Facebook reminded me that on this day in 2017, I discovered this wonderful geeky thing called SDR, software defined radio, of course. And I think that got me back into playing with radio stuff. And eventually, a couple of years later, that got me back into amateur radio. So today, I am celebrating International Radio Amy Day. And it was a good day. KB9IQX, I hope everybody has a good week. Hey, a little good stuff there. Happy SDR anniversary there. Since I moved, I don't know where my SDR is. I got to find that and start playing with it again. It could be a lot of fun. Hey, you mobile safe out there. Glad you were able to get to the rain or shine. And we will catch you down the log there. All right, moving right along here. Magoo, how are you doing tonight? KK7ZPJ, please give us a report.
