Don't apologize and we've gotten a lot of experience in passing the list because we all share the same Google document and it goes very smoothly, makes it real easy. It's also easy to read because the font is large and we do that on purpose and it's very simple to operate. All you have to do is type or delete, there's no fancy code to it at all. Alright VA3KNY, Kevin I'm passing it to you, what else is new with you man, this is KC2PKG. Okay I want to touch on the FM transmitters, they suck, I had a friend Gareth who had it in his car and he had some explanation why he was using it right, he's a friend of mine who we used to DJ together later on he got a job at CTV and he had a reason that he was running he had a C-plane low-power FM transmitter and he had some kind of elaborate thing where he had a stereo hook to it in his car I'm not certain what it was all about but I remembered it was noisy even in the car and the equipment's like not even like a few feet away I think in the backseat was all the transmitter had to travel okay so then fast forward you think I would have learned my lesson so I go at some point I had a friend help me get on the computer and get one for me from eBay there was an FM transmitter for sale and so I had purchased a similar sea crane like this guy had right and so what I wanted to do I simply wanted to just basically at that time I was just basically wanting to hook my downstairs big system right I had a big stereo I still have it there now but I wanted to hook it up to maybe a boom box in my room right and so I it was noisy it wouldn't work it was like not even 10 feet this had to go so that's a lot further than the back seat into the front seat for my man over there so so that was a no-go I gave up on it later on I used cross banning on my HT to do the same thing and now I don't even have to because I got my phone but I eventually what I did was what I should have done I just never thought of it hook it up to my cordless phone intercom I still have one of those Panasonic's I didn't throw it out I still have it at the crib I don't have it in this place but I have it at the crib and so I ended up using that intercom to rebroadcast the stereo from downstairs and later on I had read on someplace I was looking around there was a vendor that was selling what was called whole house transmitters it's a different model and make I didn't bother with that because by then I had already been set up so yeah I kind of thought I was lied to I mean the sea crane is supposed to go a mile right well I must have goofed I must not know anything about regular FM propagation it must be non-existence because one mile look I'm thinking in my head okay that's fine right because on two meters you could even do HTHT one mile right so I'm thinking in that way while the regular FM band is nothing like that and I don't think it was one watt I think they lied or maybe they told the truth they might have said it was milliwatts but I don't know that the propagation there doesn't seem to be the same because as long as you're at the location of where you're broadcasting from you should still have like let's say the whole floor or you know a longer distance so I'm totally confused on that I gave up on it um in the 80s does anybody remember the toy the mr. microphone it was marketed as a toy for kids but it was it's more properly used as a cordless mic that's more the proper use of it but kids would use it to transmit on FM and I used to love it I used to broadcast in my school dorm that way all the time and I knew this guy the late Jeff Healy who later on blew up became became super huge star you know cuz Steven Rayvon's is his man anyways he figured out this whole Riggins where like he took the little dinky antenna off of it I don't know I'm wondering if he like hooked it up to the tractor outside or some crap like that because while I was getting maybe as As you might say your 100 yards or more, he was getting the actual true 3, 4, 5, 6 miles. He was actually able to hit all the other dorms. I was barely able to get out of two or three rooms in the one dorm I was in, right? My signal would start getting noisy as soon as you get through a certain length of the dorm right which is we're talking like these little small houses one floor a few rooms but he was able to set it up so the whole damn school could hear him and the whole damn school means like oh seven made city blocks long I hope I I hope I didn't screw that up about maybe who knows like You know five six times more than what Union Square is remember what they said about the square with the Union every floor There's a party and it's like five city blocks long. I don't know what their brag was. But anyways, so That is that as far as FM transmitters, but I better pass it back to you because we got other transmitters best belief 3-A-3 taken 1
