Hello Rebecca and that good morning. Yes, Katie seven in UI. Maybe I should have a moniker nerds using induction It's a pretty good one, right? The yeah, thanks for mentioning the radio club of Tacoma. I as of yet have Been I think I've heard of them, but I haven't Check them out, but I just looked up the clubhouse that you were talking about and wow Wow, that's like four blocks from where I grew up next to Franklin Elementary School, so I'm definitely interested in going down there and checking that out. I have cousins in Tacoma, so I should probably visit them more often anyway. I'm up near Issaquah, east of Renton. Yeah, so that's a good reason to get down there. That would be fun to check out. Yesterday, I finally got my big 40-meter dipole project, the homebrew dipole that I mentioned earlier in the week that I was doing and fighting the rain to get halyard lines strung up. And the last couple days of clear weather has been really good. So yeah, I have this 40-meter dipole way up in these Paul Douglas furs, 28. I measured it 28 meters up, at least at the high end. So that's pretty cool. the ballad in the middle is kind of drooping down, so I'll figure that out. But it seems pretty good. I think that's going to change with the holidays coming up, I'm told. So that's something I'm looking forward to. Hey, maybe I can pick up Papa Whiskey Bravo's pirate radio somewhere. I'm curious what band. It's an illusion to be interesting, since I can listen to all kinds of fun on the HF bands now. now so yeah good times and it is a fun hobby indeed i'm really glad all those averages in september or october have gotten me back into the hobby all right plus 73 so that everyone have a great thursday ke7 in ui well i do like your mnemonic ke7 i like uh nerds under the influence too Well, yeah. Well, cool. Yeah, totally. Check out the Radio Club in Tacoma. It's a reason to, I guess, hang out with cousins. I don't know. It's whatever. It's so much fun. It's always jam-packed and full of ham radio folks, and they're all so nice. And there's donuts and snacks and coffee and cokes in the fridge, and there's always frozen pizza in the freezer. yeah it's great it's so great and on the last Saturday of the no third this is the third Saturday or the last Saturday anyway on the last Saturday of the month chef Paul makes food so they'll feed you lunch too and he either makes chili dogs or spaghetti and it's all free so yeah and it's a lot of fun and people definitely turn out for that. And you get to hang out with Nathan. Nathan and his dad always go. Yeah, W7BUG. Nathan always goes too. You can talk to him about bugs. But great, have a wonderful day and yeah, welcome back to the hobby. Woo hoo! Radio, radio. 7-3, Good day. Next on the list is Jack, KI7RMU. Good morning Jack. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven November Quebec November. Well good morning Rebecca. Nice to hear you. Nice to hear everybody else too. Well while I've been listening to the net this morning I've got a couple of things all built up and I'm going to go over them as quickly as I can so I don't exceed my three minute time limit. First one is speaking of the Radio Club of Tacoma next year they'll be celebrating 110 years since their formation 1916 was the year there's a very famous picture of their board the original board that put together the entire thing back in the day and they're all sitting there in their beautiful black and white photo with their ties and fancy suits and their long beards and their big mustaches and they look like they're having the time of their life. Now if that ever becomes a reality for PSRG, I'll have to drop out. I don't have a fancy tie or a big mustache, but anyway, that is really interesting. So yes, happy, happy almost 110 years Radio Club at Tacoma. Speaking of Matt, KI6 KTE, he is going to be joining the PSRG net hosting team on the 27th of November so hopefully he'll have a couple of days of rest after the repeated roundabout and he'll be joining us for the every other alternating Thursdays with Ben, K7LLZ. So Ben will do one Thursday and then the next week will be Matt and then Ben and then Matt he has to have KT so we can't wait for that that's gonna be a lot of fun. And speaking of Cody, AG7LR, you know it's interesting Rebecca you know with all this friendly friendly trash talking we've got going with a dethroning Cody for the winning spot for the repeater roundabout not a peep he checks in on that to say I'll I'll you know I think what he's doing he's got a secret plan he's lying in wait to pounce on all of us with new techniques and radios so I think we're just gonna get crushed again Okay, before I hand it back to you, by the way I have heard the 99 tunnel is closed until they get that ventilation system up and power restored. There you go. Nice to hear everybody. Talk to you at noon. KI-7 R-Mute. Thank you, Rebecca.
