JJ5 IRQ yeah I didn't hear anything from Grey either just now so that's odd hopefully he's not having any issues oh man I still haven't really done much other than look at my emails and kind of plan up my day a little bit so it's a not much to talk about this morning really I'm trying to think of something Anyhow, all right, so we'll talk about something completely off topic. Let's talk about ham VoIP versus ASL3. I don't know why. I was reading a thread on Facebook about it. That's why it's in my brain. The vast majority of people, when you talk about the two differences in ham VoIP versus ASL, The biggest one that most people say is the ham voice was engineered on DOS and is not modern enough to handle some of the newer things that ASL can do. Of course ASL is built on the new asterisk. I forget which version it is, 22 I think. So there is that. I'm reading about it because I'm redoing my entire setup. I'm excited. When I get done with this thing in a couple of weeks, I'm going to have a full deal. I'll be able to talk on the radio to my node, out to y'all. I'm really excited about it. I'm finally putting it all together. So that's why I'm reading about that and playing with it. I'm going to order a few things today. Like I said, I took down my mast and my antenna and I'm trying to decide if I want to build a JPO, I just want to buy an antenna. And at this point I'm really thinking about just buying an antenna. It'll be, you know, roughly, roughly 40, 50 feet above ground level. So that's fine. I mean, I sit in the bowl anyhow. We have big hills on, pretty much all around us. But we get out and over them. So that's no problem. Okay. Well, let's stop there. I'm going to go back to reading about ASL3 and planning my setup. I'm trying to, it's kind of fascinating, you might actually, some of y'all might actually be interested in this. So since I'm going to redo it all and I've decided I'm going to put it on a mini computer instead of a Raspberry Pi. Because I can run multiple nodes on there, no issues at all. If I choose to or need to or whatever, we can run multiple nodes on there or other things along, you know, I could put them in Docker and run other things. So I'm going to build it off of a minicomputer to begin with, and I'm going to take a real quick break here. So that's how we're going to do that, and that will give it more power and everything it ever needs for ASL. So we're going to hook it up to that. I'm going to have that just probably running, probably just running a Ubuntu server and just running ASL in a Docker format. Docker format is probably what I'll do, a little Docker container. The other alternative that I'm also looking at is just running the node on a cloud server, deeper than electricity probably. Set it up on a cloud server and then you can have it piped in and you can still hook it up to your phones and stuff, but I haven't really seen if you can connect it up to RF. So that's what I'm going to be digging into here in between my meetings today is can I take ASL 3 loaded up on a cloud server yes I can then can I connect that cloud server somehow to I don't know a sherry hat or something and then have that be connected so I can use my handy toffees so there you go all right there I filled some time it wasn't too hard I just turned it geeky right turned on that nerd speech all right kj5 ilq sending it back to to You're welcome.
