8
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:51.240
had anything foul up on a live

9
00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:57.759
So guess what U instead instead of

10
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:04.079
with this dude. Oh boy?
Okay, Happy happy Sunday, Happy Father's

11
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.239
Day to everybody out there. Yes, thank you, thank you for joining

12
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:14.319
us on Father's Day. So I
was going to interview Chris Weatherman tonight and

13
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:19.640
he is h no, I need
to change that. He is the author

14
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:25.879
of the survivalist book series Angry American. He writes under the pseudo name of

15
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:32.560
Angry American Anger ree A n G
E R Y American and it's this book

16
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:34.040
series here. I did a video
on these books a while back, several

17
00:01:34.040 --> 00:01:38.799
people commented that they know him.
They comment on that video that they know

18
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.280
him, and they reached out to
him, and somehow he and I got

19
00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:45.920
connected and he sent me his phone
numbers. So we've been texting back and

20
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.239
forth the last month, and I
invited him on the on the channel,

21
00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:53.280
and he was out of town last
weekend, but he was in town this

22
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:59.760
weekend. But he texted me about
a half hour ago and he said that

23
00:01:59.840 --> 00:02:02.599
he was driving home in his car
broke down. He had a flat tire.

24
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.800
I think, nothing major, and
he's stranded because he called it.

25
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:13.439
Uh. I guess he didn't have
a spare tire, but he called a

26
00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:15.680
shop and they don't have the tire
he needs. So he's having to spend

27
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:20.599
the night in a hotel wherever he
is. He lives in Florida somewhere,

28
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:24.360
and so he's not able to make
it tonight. And he was very apologetic,

29
00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:29.560
and I hope that he I hope
everything works out with his vehicle.

30
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:32.560
But but I said, hey,
let's chat tomorrow and we'll come up with

31
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:37.000
another date. So we're gonna we're
gonna get it done. We're gonna get

32
00:02:37.039 --> 00:02:43.360
it done. And that's that so
tonight. What I have never had a

33
00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:46.319
guest canceled on the same day I
had guess cancel and and we push stuff

34
00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:51.080
back, but never like an hour
right before man that he would just leave

35
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.599
me scramble it in oh man.
Yeah yeah, yeah, uh yeah,

36
00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:02.919
it is ironic. Trucker John's cars
broken down in Florida and he can't get

37
00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:07.520
home so he has to walk.
So if you guys, yeah, that's

38
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:09.840
I should have said that to him. In fact, when I talk to

39
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.639
him tomorrow, I will absolutely bring
it up. I'm like, you know,

40
00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:19.639
is anything kind of like familiar with
this situation? You know you haven't

41
00:03:19.639 --> 00:03:22.039
read the book series, that's kind
of how it starts, except it's not

42
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:30.680
from a flat tire. So yeah, so all good for Father's Day.

43
00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:36.319
Look at my barbecue new shirt.
Yeah, oh yeah, that's cool,

44
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:38.719
okay, digging. This is the
first time I wear it it out.

45
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:51.639
I'm enjoying it. Good, good, Okay. So, uh so I

46
00:03:51.719 --> 00:03:53.719
hit up everybody in the discord and
I'm like, hey, guys, let's

47
00:03:53.759 --> 00:04:00.479
just talk about fueld day. Mike, I see my MIC's actually responding in

48
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:04.240
discord. What do you know what? And yeah, yeah, I didn't

49
00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:09.800
hear it banged, so uh,
he's he's talking to Discord now, So

50
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:16.399
there you go. Yeah, Steven, Also what happens when you go everyone

51
00:04:16.480 --> 00:04:21.120

talking. Yes, yeah, yeah,

52
00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:26.879
Mike Castle link he knows how to
get in here. Yeah, Mike cast

53
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.279
link is the same link it always
is. So we're going to talk about

54
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.120
We're gonna talk about field day plans
and see what see what we can fill

55
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:46.560
an hour with with that. But
this is good. So Jordan, thank

56
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.040
you for watching my videos because that's
comes directly from a video. Since we

57
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:54.120
are ad living here. What is
the rules for calling c Q on the

58
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:59.879
YouTube? Chat? Yeah? I
missed the reference what the video was that

59
00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.279
it was my video I posted a
while back about why the repeater? Why

60
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:08.040
are the ham radio repeaters all?
Did so? And I had mentioned in

61
00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:13.360
that video that calling CQ on a
repeater was bad form. And people come

62
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:15.879
by and they're like, there's nothing
in the rules against that, and I'm

63
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:17.199
like, I never said it was
there's nothing in the laws against that.

64
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.879
I never said it, didn't care
about that. I never said they did

65
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.439
a repeater. You know, when
you call your call sign out? This

66
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:30.360
is this is cage five a stray
it is, that is a form of

67
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:33.040
a CQ if you want to just
be on the side. And the I

68
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:36.600
think also at least in the Daals
fort Worth area, you come back the

69
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:44.199
k DO five a straight just monitoring. Yeah. True. Well, and

70
00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:48.720
and somebody somebody mentioned in the in
the somebody put a comment in the video,

71
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.920
and I think they they I hadn't
thought about it this way before.

72
00:05:51.920 --> 00:05:56.720
It is a very good point.
But when you're calling CQ on h and

73
00:05:57.040 --> 00:06:00.920
you could even call CQ on sideband
VHF if you want to tune up and

74
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:06.560
down the sideband, the two meter
sideband band, you can call CQ out

75
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.720
there. But they had a good
point. They're like, well, calling

76
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.680
CQ is like you may or may
not know where the station is because we

77
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.519
have a variable frequencies that we can
go between on ten meters, twenty meters,

78
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:19.519
that kind of thing, and even
on two meters on a repeater,

79
00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:23.879
you're always on the same frequency.
But I'm like, that's probably good.

80
00:06:24.120 --> 00:06:28.120
But when you're calling CQ on a
frequency, you're calling CQ on the HF

81
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:31.399
frequency, you're here, You're not
gonna be CQ. I'm listening over on

82
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:35.600
fourteen dot twenty five. You actually
can do that. It's called working split.

83
00:06:35.879 --> 00:06:39.399
I wasn't going to go in there, but yes, but I just

84
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.360
meant that that it's not very variable. Majority of the times we are calling

85
00:06:44.439 --> 00:06:47.680
CQ on the frequency we want to
hear it, Yes, on the repeater

86
00:06:47.879 --> 00:06:54.759
themselves, though, I just pull
your calls. You and the thing I

87
00:06:54.800 --> 00:07:00.279
said in the video, and I
mentioned I mentioned that uh one for six

88
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:03.240
top five to two is a calling
frequency, and you're not really supposed to

89
00:07:03.319 --> 00:07:08.759
rag chew on calling frequencies, just
like you're kind of not supposed to you're

90
00:07:08.839 --> 00:07:11.759
kind of not supposed to call CQ
on a repeater. But after I said

91
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:14.399
both of those things, I'm like, you know what, there's I have

92
00:07:14.560 --> 00:07:17.680
driven from. I have driven east
from Texas and west from Texas, and

93
00:07:17.879 --> 00:07:23.800
with the exception of a few very
specific places, you very rarely hear activity

94
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:27.480
on six top five to two driving
all over the nation. So I'm like,

95
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:30.600
why not use it for ragchu because
nobody else is using it. The

96
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:33.560
most time I heard people talking on
five to two is when I'm actually going

97
00:07:33.639 --> 00:07:39.000
back between Dallas or Houston, and
you get the yeah, they're subpo Tuston

98
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.920
of like, hey, you're willing. You sound awesome. Oh you're gone.

99
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.480
I guess they're going the other direction. Yeah, it's uh yeah,

100
00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:48.920
So I was like, yeah,
it's I was like, I'm fine with

101
00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:54.480
with with rag chewing on there because
people use it so infrequently. And if

102
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:57.360
if someone comes on to a repeater
and call CQ, I usually try to

103
00:07:57.399 --> 00:08:00.000
go back to them. In my
mind, that means this person's new,

104
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.519
they just got a license. And
I'm like, okay, cool, let's

105
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.839
say say, hey man, yeah, I hear you out there. Yeah,

106
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:07.160
you're five to nine full quieting into
the repeater. What's going on?

107
00:08:07.199 --> 00:08:11.759
How are you? And then you
stripe a conversation and then later on you

108
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:13.639
might be able to say, oh, by the way, calling CQ is

109
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.319
not really it's kind of bad form
on a repeater, but I don't care.

110
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:22.160
I mean, let go for it. Thank you for the super chat

111
00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:24.759
TC fits Mike, what's up,
buddy? I call CQ on the HAM

112
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:30.639
all the time on the hem.
You know what frequency I call CQ on

113
00:08:31.319 --> 00:08:35.399
all the time every time I go
to a park. Huh body boat face

114
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.840
frequency. Yeah. So do you
guys remember the guy that walked up to

115
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:41.799
the trailer at ham vention, and
he said he was gonna do the Appalachian

116
00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:45.440
Trail next year. He was gonna
take five or six months. Yeah,

117
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:50.440
Ok, yes, I just what
I was about to say. I've put

118
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.279
his I've put his call sign in
my hand alert and I'm sitting there.

119
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.960
I'm sitting there in freaking church,
and I look down and I'm like,

120
00:08:56.200 --> 00:09:05.720
oh my god, he was doing
soda on fourteen nine, so I could

121
00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:13.759
uh, uh Saint Louis arch or
something. Maybe it's a toda. Maybe

122
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:16.279
he was doing I saw somebody else
on Maybe I saw somebody else on soda.

123
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:18.960
Maybe yeah, maybe it was Bring
it back around a little bit for

124
00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.080
the topic off hand. You can
work two meter on PHIL or on Phil

125
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:28.919
day. It just has to be
not on a repeater frequency. But you

126
00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:33.480
can log this, yes correct,
Yeah, FM simplex is fine. Uh,

127
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.399
sideband is fine. CWS fine,
Mike. You need to call CQ

128
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:43.399
and a p r S. This
was totally you. I use I use

oh boy, what's up? Is so?

136
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:24.879
Yeah? So those are who are
just joining us. I was supposed

137
00:10:24.879 --> 00:10:30.240
to have Chris on Tonight, author
of the fantastic series Going Home, and

138
00:10:30.480 --> 00:10:37.200
uh he is broken down in the
vehicle in Florida. And when he told

139
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.080
me that, I was scrambling to
figure out what to do next. So

140
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:43.000
I kind of didn't put two together. But yeah, that's how the whole

141
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:45.639
book series starts. So now I
got to tease him about that. When

142
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:50.080
when I heard, I'm like,
start walking, right, yeah, start

143
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:56.600
walking, buddy. I hope you
got to go bag or something. Want

144
00:10:56.679 --> 00:11:00.399
something like that, Yeah, something
like that. That's funny, do that

145
00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:05.000
by starting starting the path with the
first step. Except he did it.

146
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:09.759
I think it was in November in
the book something like that, so it

147
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:15.279
wasn't Yeah, yeah exactly. Yeah, I don't remember. It's been so

148
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:18.840
long since I read the first book
in that series, but yeah, it

149
00:11:18.960 --> 00:11:22.399
was October something. It was.
It was in the fall. It was

150
00:11:22.399 --> 00:11:24.840
in the fall. I want to
say, yeah, it wasn't cold out,

151
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:28.120
but it wouldn't the summer having to
build fires and stuff, right right,

152
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:33.519
yep. So talking about our topic, what is our plan for field

153
00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:37.919
Day? Lon Moore says, field
Day is next weekend? Question mark?

154
00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.080
Yes, field Day is next weekend? And there's Robert was it next weekend?

155
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.360
Right? I know, isn't it
crazy? We just did a hamfest,

156
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:50.960
Mike, I know we all did
well. No, we did it

157
00:11:50.960 --> 00:11:54.360
when yesterday? Oh yeah, that
was yesterday. Wow, I mean at

158
00:11:54.360 --> 00:11:56.639
a mall. Come on, yeah, it was. That was a good

159
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:01.240
It was a good size for what
it was. In fact, I shared

160
00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.559
my I didn't make it last year, but I shared my video from twenty

161
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:07.759
twenty two on Twitter and on my
community tab today or maybe it was yesterday,

162
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:11.399
and I said, hey, you
want to see all of you who

163
00:12:11.399 --> 00:12:15.919
are at the Dfwmxpo this weekend.
Here's what it looked like two years ago,

164
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.200
and especially hearing what it looked like
on my channel coming up Monday.

165
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.879
But you did a live stream also
this year? I did. Yeah,

166
00:12:22.919 --> 00:12:26.360
yeah, I did a live stream
and hey, the live stream the at

167
00:12:26.440 --> 00:12:30.120
and T four G five G inside
of the mall was fantastic. I was

168
00:12:30.159 --> 00:12:33.240
getting twenty six, twenty six up
and forty five down. I'm like,

169
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:37.399
I am not going to complain with
that. That was freaking fantastic. But

170
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.320
yes, field Day is next weekend, and thanks to Rob out here.

171
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:46.360
So traditionally what we've been doing,
we've been going to the Hunting Lease for

172
00:12:46.399 --> 00:12:52.200
field Day, and I kind of
just wanted to do something different this year.

173
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:54.519
It's been freaking hot outside for the
last two or three weeks since the

174
00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:58.320
storms finally stopped up here in North
Texas, and I'm like, you know,

175
00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:01.320
we could go out there. I
don't have as I don't have as

176
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.879
much sleeping area as what I had
last year at the Hunting Lease, so

177
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.279
my trailers up there, but but
the other one's not, and I was

178
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.480
just like, you know, I
kind of want to change it up a

179
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.320
bit. I really enjoyed winterfield Day
in Galveston this last January, and I

180
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:20.759
think we're going to do that again
next year, so if if people are

181
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:26.679
down for that. But but Rob
offered us at the beach Well and I

182
00:13:26.840 --> 00:13:30.360
looked, but my house is rented
next weekend, so it's not it's not

183
00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.679
rented this weekend. But it's rented
next weekend, so I can't. Yeah,

184
00:13:33.919 --> 00:13:39.240
yeah, peak season. I don't
know, maybe maybe probably someone in

185
00:13:39.559 --> 00:13:50.039
a serious latitude adjustment, right,
So what Okay? So Rob offered,

186
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.519
Well, he didn't offer, but
he had the idea. We were brainstorming

187
00:13:54.759 --> 00:14:00.440
alternatives to what we could do then
our normal hand or a normal field event,

188
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:03.440
just because I think both of us
been traveling. Jason, I know

189
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:05.840
you've been on the road more than
all the rest of us, and I

190
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:11.039
just did not feel like packing and
bringing enough stuff to be out there for

191
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:16.919
three or four days to sit in
the summer heat. So a little bit

192
00:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.320
of tiredness. Rob. Thank you
for joining, by the way, Rob,

193
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.720
Yeah, you, And why don't
you tell us about tell everybody about

194
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:31.639
what your idea was. Yeah.
So the the last couple of years,

195
00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:37.360
I've been doing field day with a
club here, my club that's in uh

196
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:45.039
the Paradise bridgeport Wise County area here
in North Texas, and uh it's a

197
00:14:45.120 --> 00:14:48.480
smaller club, like a lot of
them are, right once you get out

198
00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:54.960
away from you know, the DFW
area. But it's a really great club.

199
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:01.360
They do lots of cool stuff,
right they and they go all out

200
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:07.480
for field day so my suggestion was, come on over to the West Fork

201
00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:13.480
Amateur Radio Club's field day and you
know, join in with all the festivities

202
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.639
that that they put on. And
uh, that's what we're gonna do.

203
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:20.080
It's gonna be great, it's gonna
be fun. Yeah, So they attend

204
00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:24.480
this. They they do their field
day at this place called the Northwest o

205
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.360
HV Park, which is in Bridgeport, Texas. If you just go to

206
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:31.919
uh it's uh, well this is
the city of Bridgeport, but I don't

207
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:37.399
know if the OHV Park has their
own it's it's on the city's website.

208
00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.080
It's on the city or I could
share it out if I had the screen

209
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.559
share, but well no, I'm
I'm showing it right now on the stream.

210
00:15:45.960 --> 00:15:48.039
But uh, but they it's a
it's a it's like a jeep an

211
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:52.440
overland trail park. They have various
trails that you can drive up. My

212
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:56.080
brother's done a couple of jeep rides
out there, and I've been wanting to

213
00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:58.240
go out there anyway, so I
might do a little bit of a little

214
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.080
bit of minor wheel myself on Saturday. But but they rent out this well,

215
00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.240
they don't rent it out, but
they the city of Bridgeport gives it

216
00:16:07.279 --> 00:16:10.080
to them, gives it to the
Ham Radio Club for the weekend they do

217
00:16:10.360 --> 00:16:15.639
they do, which is really city
is really supportive of the club. You

218
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:21.440
know, the folks that are there
are fantastic. They they're very supportive for

219
00:16:21.519 --> 00:16:25.559
anybody that is in the North Texas
area. And if you're if you don't

220
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:29.759
have a field day to attend,
right, if you don't have a group,

221
00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:34.720
you don't have plans. It's open
to the public and normally you have

222
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:40.639
to pay a fee to get into
the oh V Park. But uh,

223
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:45.200
you know, again, great support
from the city and from the park.

224
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.840
If you roll up to the gate
and say I'm here for the Ham Radio

225
00:16:48.919 --> 00:16:52.480
event, They'll let you in without
any cost. There you go. That's

226
00:16:52.519 --> 00:16:56.120
even better. So yeah, it's
great. So don't Yeah, so if

227
00:16:56.120 --> 00:17:00.200
you're gonna come up for the day, don't purchase a purchase a tike it.

228
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.400
But cool. Okay. So I'm
looking forward to that because I think

229
00:17:03.440 --> 00:17:07.759
that will be a fun alternative to
things we have done in the past.

230
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.519
And I've been wanting to go up
to that park anyway for the last few

231
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:18.759
months, and yeah, I think
that'd be I think that'd be fun as

232
00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.319
well is it. It's not.
And we were looking at Yeah, we

233
00:17:22.319 --> 00:17:25.319
were looking at that, and there's
not a poda very close. Because I

234
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:26.920
thought, well, maybe we'll just
go and poda for the day and then

235
00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:30.440
come back. I mean, there's
it's not that far, but it's not

236
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.279
exactly close either, so it's probably
like a thirty minute drive to get to

237
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:40.559
the next closest poda. Yeah,
so Richardson's about thirty thirty minutes away.

238
00:17:40.839 --> 00:17:48.200
Yeah yeah, so uh but yeah, not not not good for a or

239
00:17:48.359 --> 00:17:52.039
well not real convenient for poda.
Not impossible. But now I think I'm

240
00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.200
just gonna chill there. Just we're
gonna and look, they do some cool

241
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:00.480
stuff, right, So they bring
in a couple of cherry pickers and they

242
00:18:00.519 --> 00:18:06.920
pick up some big Yaggi's right,
so there's a forty meter yagi always a

243
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.599
yeah he never in Udah Yeah,
so true, so true, poor poor

244
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:18.400
Uda. So they do that,
which is very cool. Brad Fuller,

245
00:18:18.680 --> 00:18:22.720
who is a Fredfish Award winner,
brings out his microwave stuff. So he

246
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:27.079
does ten and twenty four gig contacts, which is pretty cool. He's been

247
00:18:27.279 --> 00:18:33.920
running a six six meter station all
day. He's doing ft eight and digital

248
00:18:33.960 --> 00:18:41.000
modes on a six meter station.
I've been getting I've been getting some some

249
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:45.119
hamlerts about guys working six meters in
eight yo. Who's in the chat right

250
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.319
now, he's he's been working some
six meters. I've been getting hamlerts from

251
00:18:48.319 --> 00:18:51.079
two or three other people over the
last couple of weeks that have been on

252
00:18:51.160 --> 00:18:56.240
six meters. So six meters is
active right now. The last times I've

253
00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.400
filmed a video where I had to
show my logging soft where I've got the

254
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:06.119
spotter on there, and there was
six meter activity and I never paid attention

255
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:11.400
to it until I was editing the
video and there's like all kinds of six

256
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.599
and that by the time I see
it, the band is dead. Oh

257
00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:21.759
gosh, that's funny. Uh yeah, yeah, what's up, Kyle?

258
00:19:21.799 --> 00:19:25.920
How are you? What's happening?
Not uh not, not a lot,

259
00:19:26.480 --> 00:19:29.559
not a lot. We're just we're
just kind of shooting from the hip out

260
00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.519
here because my guest bailed on me. Hey, do you guys know about

261
00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:37.400
this contest coming up this weekend.
It's not it's not a contest. It's

262
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:40.160
not a contest. Yeah, yes, yeah, that's what we're talking about.

263
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:45.039
Awards. Okay, yeah, all
right, it has a specific start

264
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:49.160
and end time. Therefore it is
a contest and there are rules and there

265
00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:56.119
well there's rules to PoTA also rules
everything. Even if there are no rules,

266
00:19:56.640 --> 00:20:02.279
the rule is there are no rules, so there's still rules. Is

267
00:20:02.279 --> 00:20:06.119
there a role We don't talk about
it. No, No, we can.

268
00:20:06.200 --> 00:20:11.440
We can talk about it. It's
agreement, yeah, gentleman. That's

269
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:15.279
something else that was brought up in
the whole repeater being dead video a gentleman's

270
00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:21.160
agreement or the maritime mobile net stuff
too, gentleman's agreement. Well, absolutely,

271
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:25.079
call CQ on five too. No, it wasn't on five too.

272
00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:29.240
Is on a repeater calling CQ on
five two? Yeah, on simplex,

273
00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:32.359
I think it's fine. Call CQ
on simplex. I think that's fine.

274
00:20:32.559 --> 00:20:36.440
Yeah, but it was on a
repeater. CQ on a repeater. It's

275
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:41.000
it's usually considered bad form. But
that's back from a time when Peter's were

276
00:20:41.039 --> 00:20:45.680
actually quite active. So I don't, like I said, just care say

277
00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:49.400
the letters don't say like your call
signed phonetically on repeaters, you know.

278
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.519
Yeah, I'm so used to NATO
phonetics from being on HF, and I

279
00:20:55.559 --> 00:20:59.240
never talked on VHF. So it's
always Kilo eight micromeodulta. I do that

280
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:00.440
every now and then and when I
key out the repeater, O, k

281
00:21:02.000 --> 00:21:04.319
this is keel go five athlete.
Oh wait, hold on KG five as

282
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.400
Jay, what's up? Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, I'm gonna

283
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.160
text Chris right now, sold on, hold on voice to text, tell

284
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.240
him. We all say we hope
he's walking. Everyone in the chat tonight

285
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:21.759
finds it ironic that you broke down
in Florida, Comma elwell period, hopefully

286
00:21:21.839 --> 00:21:26.920
you're you're no let me, Oh
you're walking home in bag right now.

287
00:21:29.960 --> 00:21:33.920

down and now he has to find a

288
00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:37.319
hotel room. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, I mean he should have had

289
00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:44.119
a wilderness tent and some flares up. Oh yeah, totally yeah, and

290
00:21:44.160 --> 00:21:47.000
that really grilly put thing that he
could build a fire. Yeah, in

291
00:21:47.119 --> 00:21:51.839
seventy two hours with the food and
water and yeah, beans and rice before

292
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:55.759
we stray too far, If anyone

297
00:22:14.359 --> 00:22:17.640
clear. Yeah, it's okay,
it's a good point, right. I

298
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.880
invited folks to come out, so
we should probably tell them the rules about

299
00:22:21.920 --> 00:22:29.759
coming out for you field day is
not to show field day, right right,

300
00:22:29.880 --> 00:22:34.079
yeah, right, So i'd say
on Saturday, anytime Saturday is fine.

301
00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:41.799
Of course, you know, you
might not want to come out early

302
00:22:41.880 --> 00:22:45.160
in the morning. There's not going
to be a lot of radio activity until

303
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:52.079
field Day starts one in the afternoon. But certainly anybody is is welcome to

304
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.960
come out during the day Saturday.
There's generally folks that operate all night in

305
00:22:57.039 --> 00:23:00.519
this club. Like I said,
they these are all about operating, and

306
00:23:00.920 --> 00:23:06.680
uh they're great operators and they and
they love doing it. And then uh,

307
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:12.200
you know there's people out there operating
until until the final whistle on Sunday.

308
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:18.440
So folks are welcome to come out
at any time during the field day

309
00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:22.599
window. That's how many stations they
have set up. It's going to be

310
00:23:22.599 --> 00:23:26.519
four a this year, okay,
okay, And we don't have to bring

311
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:30.440
anything. I mean, no,
you don't have to at all. All

312
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:36.160
the radios are set up, there's, uh, there's going to be a

313
00:23:36.200 --> 00:23:40.519
six meter station, there's going to
be a ten meter station, twenty meter,

314
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:45.519
and then there's another station where they
they rotate through a few bands,

315
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.839
right, so depending on what's what's
happening and what's cooking. But there's a

316
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:57.119
go to station as well. Okay, what are the enquirements for operating the

317
00:23:57.200 --> 00:24:07.960
go to station? So a go
to station is typically ran by or or

318
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:11.400
admined by one of the club operators, but they use a different call sign

319
00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:15.359
than what the club call sign is
for whatever reason, and it doesn't count

320
00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:18.720
towards your Like, if they're operating
four alpha, then the go to station

321
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.039
will be technically station number five,
but they don't count it in their four

322
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.680
alpha. And then it's typically for
people who are either technicians and can't get

323
00:24:26.720 --> 00:24:30.119
on HF or maybe don't have a
license at all. And you've got somebody

324
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:33.839
sitting there and one of the club
members sitting there, and you just say

325
00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.960
that's the control operator control operator,
and let the other person use the radio

326
00:24:38.039 --> 00:24:41.640
and speak, and we're just they
just walk them through how to get on

327
00:24:41.799 --> 00:24:45.480
HF and how to make contacts,
which is really really a really great idea.

328
00:24:47.759 --> 00:24:55.079
Yeah, and you know, any
of the any of the members of

329
00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:57.480
the club will take you know,
they all take turns at the go to

330
00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:02.839
station. And you know, it's
it's not like there's people in and out

331
00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:07.720
there all the time right there.
It seems to be that there's certain times

332
00:25:07.759 --> 00:25:12.240
when things pick up. But what's
interesting about this place is it is an

333
00:25:12.319 --> 00:25:18.200
active off roading venue. So there's
a lot of people that just drive by

334
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.359
and kind of rubber neck and they're
like, whoa, what are those guys

335
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:30.799
doing, and they yeah, yeah, they will, they will stuff on

336
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.720
the co x. So I should
bring my shoot, I should bring my

337
00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:41.640
gm r S go bag and string
up a gm R S at fong antenna.

338
00:25:41.920 --> 00:25:45.240
So yeah, maybe I'll do that
because those guys might be on gm

339
00:25:45.319 --> 00:25:49.400
r S, some of the some
of the jeep guys. Absolute I could

340
00:25:49.440 --> 00:25:56.079
make my first gm RS contact,
lure them in. Hey y'all, Hey,

341
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:02.720
y'all working some radio over here,
Come on over, dude. I

342
00:26:02.759 --> 00:26:07.000
was thinking, remember those bud Light
commercials is real man and the Genius.

343
00:26:07.359 --> 00:26:12.279
Yeah, I was thinking of doing
a gm RS skit with just like just

344
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.000
like all dulled up. I talked
to my neighbor. I'm like, hey,

345
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.039
can you just put a bunch of
makeup and crap on me and just

346
00:26:18.039 --> 00:26:27.160
be like like he has make it
his wife and just do like some totally

347
00:26:27.200 --> 00:26:33.440
weird freaking like like the hey,
y'all, you know real man a gm

348
00:26:33.519 --> 00:26:37.359
rs. I think I have like
some a tiny little bit of script written.

349
00:26:37.359 --> 00:26:42.119
But I'll look forward to it,
Mike. I mean, I've had

350
00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:45.359
that idea for like two years now, so I doubt it'll ever come to

351
00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:51.680
fruition. But it's a funny idea. Yeah, that's a funny idea.

352
00:26:52.880 --> 00:26:56.200
The spots of a pretty cool spot
too. It's it's one of the highest

353
00:26:56.240 --> 00:27:00.759
points in the county. Yeah right, movie saying that it's called City Overlook.

354
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:07.880
It's kind of the area that that
they identify it as in the park

355
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:12.920
and it does have great views in
vistas of the horizon. And I think

356
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.960
that's one of the reasons why Brad
brings out his his ten and twenty four

357
00:27:18.000 --> 00:27:22.880
gig stations, right he can,
Yeah, he can. Actually, that'll

358
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.480
be exciting to see that. Yeah, he actually makes contacts with some folks

359
00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:30.240
over in the Plano area. Didn't
you do a video of all that set?

360
00:27:30.359 --> 00:27:33.440
I did? Rob? Yeah,
okay, yeah, last year I

361
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:37.640
saw something like that. Yeah,
so when are we getting there? When

362
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:41.160
do I need to be there?
I guess question. So I'm going to

363
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:47.200
leave out of here. I'm going
to leave home probably Friday morning, late

364
00:27:47.240 --> 00:27:49.039
morning ish, and I'm going to
drive to the Deer RaSE and get my

365
00:27:49.200 --> 00:27:56.559
RV and then drive straight there.
So I suspect I'll get there anywhere between

366
00:27:56.559 --> 00:28:00.079
one and three pm on set on
Friday. Okay, and then Rob said

367
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.599
they'd be out there earlier that morning. Yeah, they're going to be out

368
00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:07.799
there at seven point thirty. They're
going to try to get as much set

369
00:28:07.880 --> 00:28:11.599
up done as possible to beat the
heat. Yeah. Right, so I'm

370
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:15.440
going to go out early in the
morning, and this is going to help

371
00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.720
with the setup. Yes, yes, yes, yeah, it's basically yeah,

372
00:28:19.960 --> 00:28:25.440
I think I saw the GPS in
the check Yeah, it's the address

373
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:29.160
is on this this this website here
as well. It's it's kind of like

374
00:28:29.200 --> 00:28:30.599
in the same direction of the lease, except it's on the other side of

375
00:28:30.599 --> 00:28:33.920
the highway from where we are,
so it's actually a little bit closer to

376
00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:38.880
Grapevine than it is. So serendipitously
I got this Friday off. I will

377
00:28:38.920 --> 00:28:44.519
be heading out Friday afternoon and hoping
to get there it's about the same time

378
00:28:44.559 --> 00:28:49.079
as Jason does, and that those
are my plans. And then I was

379
00:28:49.119 --> 00:28:52.839
going to help set up and after
that, sit back, pull out some

380
00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:56.480
good whiskey and smoke a sgar.
That's exactly what I want to do.

381
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.440
I want to sit around. In
fact, I might go buy a pop

382
00:29:00.559 --> 00:29:03.119
up awning. I have my pop
up onning, the one that I keep

383
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:04.359
at the Deer Lease, and I
actually have the cover to it at my

384
00:29:04.400 --> 00:29:07.160
garage here, so I'm gonna remember
to grab it. But I've been wanting

385
00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:11.319
to buy a pop up onning for
the last couple of years. I might

386
00:29:11.359 --> 00:29:15.799
go buy one because that the play. If you watch Rob's video from last

387
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.680
year, they have like almost like
this plateau area that's like on top of

388
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.319
the mountain but it's but it's flat
and uh. And then you can see

389
00:29:22.319 --> 00:29:25.839
down into the valley from there,
which is where the trails are, and

390
00:29:25.880 --> 00:29:30.000
they have two or three awnings set
up, you know, for shade and

391
00:29:30.000 --> 00:29:32.720
there's nothing out there, so they
have an I have a they have an

392
00:29:32.759 --> 00:29:34.839
air conditioned RV that they operate from
that they have the radio set up in

393
00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:40.200
of course, mine will be out
there running as well. But but I

394
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:41.440
thought, you know, if we're
gonna have the awning off the trailer,

395
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:45.160
but I was like, if we
had a couple extra pop up awnings,

396
00:29:45.200 --> 00:29:48.240
that'd probably be good. So I'm
I might go that would certainly be helpful.

397
00:29:48.440 --> 00:29:52.240
Yeah, yeah, get chair if
you're showing up. I think our

398
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:56.599
one rule if you're showing up always
for the ham radio groups is always bring

399
00:29:56.680 --> 00:30:02.359
your own chair and maybe another chair
for someone else. And the second rule,

400
00:30:03.200 --> 00:30:07.160
take your chair home. Yeah,
did we have any extra chairs from

401
00:30:07.240 --> 00:30:11.839
Dayton? Did I give them?
I gave them to n a yo one

402
00:30:11.880 --> 00:30:15.119
of them, and then now there
was two of them that were yours.

403
00:30:15.119 --> 00:30:18.680
And when when I when I got
home, Franks like where my other two

404
00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:22.160
chairs? I'm like, dude,
I didn't know those were yours. They

405
00:30:22.160 --> 00:30:26.119
weren't marked or anything. So n
a yo has two of Frank's chairs.

406
00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:33.799
But uh, generator, right,
I will have my generator and my battery

407
00:30:33.839 --> 00:30:37.440
system. Yes, yeah, because
they're going to have a generator, but

408
00:30:37.720 --> 00:30:42.039
it's only enough to run the two
trailers that they've currently You know that they

409
00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:48.079
were planning on originally, I don't. I don't. I don't expect that

410
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:52.319
I will need to use any of
their stuff except for you know, I

411
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:53.799
want to sit down at their radio
station obviously, but oh yeah, for

412
00:30:53.799 --> 00:30:57.519
sure, as far as facilities and
whatnot and and power, I shouldn't need

413
00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:04.559
to use any of their stuff.
So now speaking of facilities, right,

414
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:11.000
it's uh, you're out in nature
out there, right, So if you

415
00:31:11.119 --> 00:31:15.039
need to use facilities, you got
to go up to the gate to the

416
00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:18.759
port of potty that's at the gate, right, and there's there is one

417
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:23.319
there. Then there is a portatty
at the gate. Good, Okay,

418
00:31:23.680 --> 00:31:29.000
I can't wait to use that one. It's one hundred degrees right for sure.

419
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:33.359
Yeah, bring your bring your portable
bidet for that mic fire man.

420
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.839
There's a little it's a little there's
a little compartment in the very back by

421
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.960
the tailgate. Oh yeah, I
got a little inverter in the bidet and

422
00:31:42.359 --> 00:31:45.279
something else there. He's got it
in a zip like bag labeled the day

423
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:51.799
it came with its own carrying it
with the hands to carrying case. Ah,

424
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:56.160
let's see. On the start contrast, I am very interested at hearing

425
00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:01.160
Hyle's fielde plans because he's just his
set up in stations are gonna blow whatever

426
00:32:01.240 --> 00:32:05.680
we're gonna do out of the water. No, I'm not going there.

427
00:32:06.839 --> 00:32:09.519
I'm not doing anything for field day
this year. What like you usually you

428
00:32:09.519 --> 00:32:16.880
know, have like you know these
seven contesting seventh station contest that's a that's

429
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:21.160
for a Missouri QUSA party. Yeah, yeah, he does that for the

430
00:32:22.119 --> 00:32:23.720
field day this year. I don't
know what I'm gonna do. There's a

431
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:28.079
QRP group that I'm a part of
that I might go to, might go

432
00:32:28.160 --> 00:32:31.119
to my club, Saint Louis Suburban
Radio Club. There's like four or five

433
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:37.880
field days in uh in Saint Louis
proper. So I don't know if I'm

434
00:32:37.880 --> 00:32:39.880
gonna hit a couple of those.
It all depends on how hot it is.

435
00:32:39.920 --> 00:32:43.920
Man. I've got to the point
where if it's gonna be one hundred

436
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:45.920
degrees outside, which I think it's
going to be, you know, if

437
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:52.400
you don't have air conditioning, ConL
ain't showing up, you can just stay

438
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:57.880
in the car and just you know, wave till and then do like a

439
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:01.759
voiceover. You know. It's like
actually as people walk by that, yeah,

440
00:33:01.799 --> 00:33:05.720
as kids walk by, like,
hey, take this camera and go

441
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:10.720
walk around those dudes up there.
Yeah, shots and bring up Yeah,

442
00:33:14.079 --> 00:33:16.480
go ahead, Jason, Well,
I was going to switch gears for second,

443
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:20.680
So did you have something Well,
yeah, this is switching gears just

444
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:22.440
a little bit as well. I
was just I was just going to recognize

445
00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:30.079
Izzo's comment there about my bid a
being a garden hose. That reminded me

446
00:33:30.240 --> 00:33:36.400
of another story, just a quick
diversion. It's not a bidet story,

447
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:40.440
it's a garden hose story. So
just let's make that clear. I used

448
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:46.559
to go to the the Willie Nelson
Fourth of July Picnics anytime they're in the

449
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:50.240
area, right, So for a
number of years they had him here in

450
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:53.559
Fort Worth and they would have him
down at Billy Bob's and they always had

451
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.480
a big you know, they always
made a big deal in the flyers that

452
00:33:57.559 --> 00:34:01.119
hey there's fresh water on site,
you know, so bring your own uh

453
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:07.440
you know, drinking vessel whatever it
is, and you know, fresh water

454
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:10.400
on site. Well you get there
and you stand in line, and you

455
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:14.039
wait and you wait and you wait, and you realize that you get a

456
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.000
little closer that the fresh water is
a garden hose coming out of back to

457
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:21.159
bellybos. So yeah, yeah,
that just reminded me of that. So,

458
00:34:21.320 --> 00:34:23.920
yeah, let's good, be careful, watch out for the fresh water

459
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:29.400
right and the garden hose. Everyone's
got a really good field day story,

460
00:34:29.719 --> 00:34:32.639
Like, there's so many. One
of the great things about field Day is

461
00:34:32.679 --> 00:34:36.880
some of the stories and some of
the crazy things that happened in field Day.

462
00:34:37.000 --> 00:34:42.320
You know, I'm surprised that people
don't get limbs chopped off trying to

463
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.159
put up portable towers, or you
know, somebody doesn't get salmonila from you

464
00:34:45.199 --> 00:34:51.000
know, not cooking the hamburgers too
much. I think our most notorious story

465
00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:53.119
or the Tota's field Day for me
that sticks in my mind was the one

466
00:34:53.199 --> 00:35:00.639
with the cow that died fifty yards
from camp. Anytime we cooked barbeque,

467
00:35:00.679 --> 00:35:05.639
I made these amazing ribs. I'm
like, they're ready, y'all. I'm

468
00:35:05.639 --> 00:35:13.000
not in the mood to eat them
now. Everywhere you watch the stream watch

469
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:15.639
my video, I think I have
like two fliss walking across my head and

470
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:21.559
I just don't care anymore. That. Oh well, I wanted to Uh,

471
00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.199
I wanted to address this because this
is kind of it's kind of flows

472
00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:29.159
into something that I mentioned in one
of my one of my most recent videos

473
00:35:29.159 --> 00:35:31.400
here. So uh, let's see, I'm gonna start at the top here.

474
00:35:31.480 --> 00:35:36.559
John K five j HP says,
the Ham group I'm in does not

475
00:35:36.639 --> 00:35:39.760
include any new Hams in any type
of planning for field Day. I'm thinking

476
00:35:39.800 --> 00:35:44.960
of driving out to a neighboring city
and get involved there. Uh, your

477
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:49.000
club is completely missing the idea of
field day. But here's the here's the

478
00:35:49.679 --> 00:35:58.480
I can't participate that. I think
it's planning. The Ham group I'm in

479
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:01.000
does not include any new Hams in
any of the planning for field Day.

480
00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:06.360
That's planning. Okay, Okay,
new Hams can attend, they just don't

481
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.639
want them to help out with Perhaps
maybe that's maybe that's what he meant by

482
00:36:08.719 --> 00:36:15.679
it. Okay. But then Pamela
replied to him in one ZKH and she

483
00:36:15.760 --> 00:36:17.760
says, same thing happened to me
when I first got licensed nineteen ninety seven.

484
00:36:17.800 --> 00:36:22.840
I was told I did not belong
there in Worcester, Massachusetts. Field

485
00:36:22.920 --> 00:36:25.760
Day never been back since. Not
worth it. Oh yeah, so,

486
00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:31.760
And I get this a lot on
comments when I start talking about Ham radio

487
00:36:31.880 --> 00:36:37.480
clubs. If I do my technician
class and my general class that that one

488
00:36:37.480 --> 00:36:39.880
of the local clubs here does and
allows me to record, I get comments

489
00:36:39.880 --> 00:36:44.800
in that video as well. I'm
not trying to cover the girl's face there,

490
00:36:45.320 --> 00:36:51.960
But there are some bad clubs out
there. Thankfully, thankfully we don't

491
00:36:52.039 --> 00:36:53.920
have, to my knowledge, we
don't have any bad clubs in the North

492
00:36:53.920 --> 00:36:58.960
Texas area. There are a lot
of excellent clubs up here in the North

493
00:36:59.000 --> 00:37:02.440
Texas area. There's a lot of
excellent clubs throughout the state of Oklahoma,

494
00:37:02.519 --> 00:37:07.639
I know for a fact. So
if you have a club that does not

495
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:12.320
welcome you to events like this,
find another club because they are out there.

496
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.079
If you live out away from the
metroplex and there's only like maybe one

497
00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:20.440
or two clubs within a decent amount
of driving distance and they're not welcoming,

498
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:23.119
then I'm sorry. I wish that. I wish that wouldn't true for you,

499
00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:30.239
But it's not like that everywhere.
And I can attest to that being

500
00:37:30.239 --> 00:37:34.480
a ham for thirty years now.
Granted I've always been I've always been up

501
00:37:34.519 --> 00:37:37.320
here since I was licensed. But
I can go down to I can find

502
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:40.360
a bunch of clubs in Houston,
that's five hours south of me. Galveston

503
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:45.239
area, Texas City has a good
club through all throughout Texas, Oklahoma.

504
00:37:45.280 --> 00:37:50.320
Have been to several clubs in Oklahoma. Louisiana has some good clubs out there,

505
00:37:50.360 --> 00:37:53.079
at least Western Louisiana. I haven't
been all through Louisiana, but most

506
00:37:54.039 --> 00:37:57.639
For every one bad club that's out
there, I bet you can find about

507
00:37:57.639 --> 00:38:00.840
a dozen that are good. So
field Day is an opportunity to get people

508
00:38:01.400 --> 00:38:05.480
interested in ham radio, to get
your community interested in hand radio, and

509
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.599
to welcome new people into hand radio. And any club that doesn't do it

510
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:12.719
that way is doing it wrong in
my opinion. So that's that's all that

511
00:38:12.840 --> 00:38:15.960
I hope that I hope that you
guys don't experience anything like that because that's

512
00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:20.800
just not it's not what it's for. Go find another club. There's tons

513
00:38:20.840 --> 00:38:28.559
of clubs out there right there are, But what if you're geographically restricted and

514
00:38:28.599 --> 00:38:34.199
that's the club. I mean,
they started here in Huntsville is lame,

515
00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:40.239
and the next closest club is in
like Conroe. Yeah, I wasn't close

516
00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:44.280
to an hour for me to get
to where they meet. It's the Lake

517
00:38:44.360 --> 00:38:46.320
Conroe Club, and I've been to
a couple of their meetings. They're they're

518
00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:52.960
nice enough guys, but where they
have the meeting is like way East Conroe

519
00:38:53.119 --> 00:38:59.800
and it's like out in freaking bf
E. So I just I just don't

520
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:07.079
do I don't club here. I
don't club no club in there. Is

521
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:13.960
your park open yet, Mike,
Yes, it just opened the eleventh.

522
00:39:14.920 --> 00:39:19.199
I've been there were the first two
or three times. Yeah, I was.

523
00:39:19.239 --> 00:39:22.280
I was there on the eleventh and
I was going to film a video

524
00:39:22.320 --> 00:39:24.480
for a new antenna, but I
didn't bring enough radios to make it work.

525
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:29.159
So and I knew that I didn't
bring enough when I went there,

526
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:31.880
and I tried it anyway and it
didn't work. But then I went back

527
00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.440
the next day and then I filmed
that video on the that thing that spider

528
00:39:37.480 --> 00:39:40.519
be masked. Yeah, oh yeah, so the Beast mode. I saw

529
00:39:40.519 --> 00:39:49.280
that video. Yeah awesome. And
then I finally just today because Callum commented

530
00:39:49.320 --> 00:39:52.199
on that video and I was like
crap because he sent me the twelve meter

531
00:39:52.559 --> 00:39:57.880
the ex commander like two years ago, and that was at Ranting Raven's house

532
00:39:58.039 --> 00:40:02.840
ever since then. So I texted
her this morning, can I come get

533
00:40:02.840 --> 00:40:07.559
that? Did she respond? I
haven't seen her in a while. Yeah,

534
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:09.320
I don't know. She She's like, I'm going shopping. I'm not

535
00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:12.599
gonna be back till six thirty,
but I'll leave it on the picnic table

536
00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:15.239
if you want to come down.
I'm like, sweet, oh good,

537
00:40:15.480 --> 00:40:21.760
and freaking traffic sucked on a Sunday
in Houston. Still it's Father's Day.

538
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:23.840
Everybody's out doing stuff. Oh yeah, that's true. And oddly enough,

539
00:40:23.840 --> 00:40:27.239
I was talking to my dad on
like half the week, half the track,

540
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.719
So this gets yeah. So's if

00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.719
go there and say hello. I
don't know any of the details, I

578
00:43:30.800 --> 00:43:34.679
just know the place. So that
might be if you're local to the DFW

579
00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:37.360
area and you want to check out
what a hamfest is without driving up to

580
00:43:37.440 --> 00:43:45.559
us, I'd probably recommend that one. Yeah. Rowanoke, Virginia, Outer

581
00:43:45.679 --> 00:43:49.920
Bank, so hell, yeah,
I love you Roanoke, Virginia. All

582
00:43:49.960 --> 00:43:54.159
three clubs here in the colony,
Denton and Lewisville, which is just the

583
00:43:54.239 --> 00:43:59.079
Denton Club is the one Denton slash
Loocile Club. They're the ones who hosted

584
00:43:59.079 --> 00:44:06.320
the Hamfest we were stout yesterday.
Let's see they there. I haven't been

585
00:44:06.360 --> 00:44:08.800
to one of their meetings, but
I hear they're very welcoming and they're huge

586
00:44:10.280 --> 00:44:15.320
radio operations. Is the Denton County
Amateur Radio Association is the biggest club in

587
00:44:15.360 --> 00:44:20.280
North Texas. Uh, they'll probably
I have. It's been two or three

588
00:44:20.360 --> 00:44:22.440
years since I've been in one of
the meetings. It was pre COVID,

589
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:24.480
but it was not unusual to see
one hundred plus people at one of their

590
00:44:24.480 --> 00:44:31.320
monthly meetings. So there's that.
So uh, Northern Berkshire Amateur Radio Club,

591
00:44:32.679 --> 00:44:38.360
four clubs in Southeast Virginia, N

area, Tulsa, Roke and Arrow,

603
00:45:36.840 --> 00:45:40.880
Rogers County, Oklahoma. This,
Saint Charles, this is my recommendation for

604
00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:45.199
any new ham I said this,
I think maybe in my video thanks me

605
00:45:45.239 --> 00:45:50.719
about Monday is google your city name
and put an amateur radio club behind it,

606
00:45:50.920 --> 00:45:55.480
and I'll almost bet you dimes dollars
there is one. And if not,

607
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:00.639
just get on the five college until
you find three other guys and start

608
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:02.800
one's start. And if you don't, if you don't live in the city,

609
00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:08.280
google your county name, county.
A lot of county clubs. Monte

610
00:46:08.440 --> 00:46:13.079
Monte Amateur Radio Club is Monte County
is where my hunting lease is. They

611
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:15.159
have an amateur radio club for that, Yeah, for that county. Denton

612
00:46:15.239 --> 00:46:20.320
County Amateur Radio Association is Takara,
So there's a lot of county clubs.

613
00:46:20.320 --> 00:46:22.440
Also, it doesn't have to be
city. But don't forget the field Day

614
00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:32.719
locator. Back to phield Day Events. Tell us about that locator. I'm

615
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:38.760
gonna see if I can find that. If you just google field Day locations,

616
00:46:40.039 --> 00:46:44.599
you'll find a leak for you'll find
a link for it. It lists

617
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:52.519
now. Of course the club had
to submit their information to be identified in

618
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:54.639
the list. But there's a I
mean, there's a map. You can

619
00:46:54.679 --> 00:47:06.199
search a map. It's it's a
huge repository of field Day locations. I

620
00:47:06.199 --> 00:47:08.079
didn't like it when I zoomed out, but you guys saw it before I

621
00:47:08.159 --> 00:47:13.920
zoomed out. So there's so many
in there. It's taken a lot while

622
00:47:13.960 --> 00:47:16.400
to populate. But I just shared
the link in the chat. I just

623
00:47:16.679 --> 00:47:23.360
chat so so just got what the
link? Oh oh behind you that's trying

624
00:47:23.400 --> 00:47:30.920
to go. So that part of
the era or website is also this one's

625
00:47:30.960 --> 00:47:35.920
working that one and the one to
take your money. Yeah yeah, yeah,

626
00:47:36.039 --> 00:47:40.039
yeah yeah yeah. So yeah.
A lot of good uh, a

627
00:47:40.039 --> 00:47:44.559
lot of good clubs out there that
will and I would say I'd probably say

628
00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:46.840
ninety five percent of them. Well, I mean, I don't want to

629
00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:50.519
speak for anybody. I certainly hope
I'm not wrong when I say this,

630
00:47:50.639 --> 00:47:53.679
but I would say ninety tone of
them will would welcome a new person.

631
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:58.480
They're on this website, I'm gonna
say, is a good chance that they

632
00:47:58.519 --> 00:48:01.400
are welcoming new people. If they
had a private event, they will not

633
00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:07.320
publish their information of the One of
the things, one of the pens,

634
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:09.679
doesn't it tell you, I feel
I've seen this before, doesn't like tell

635
00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:14.639
you what they're about and all that. It says their call signed, where

636
00:48:14.639 --> 00:48:19.639
they're located. And this one has
an email address for a contact. This

637
00:48:19.679 --> 00:48:22.320
one has an email, a phone
number, and a Facebook page. Well,

638
00:48:22.440 --> 00:48:24.840
no, a Facebook account to everybody
call them. Oh there's a call.

639
00:48:24.960 --> 00:48:28.480
There's a phone number too. Yeah, there's a phone. Some of

640
00:48:28.559 --> 00:48:31.840
them have a phone number. I
see ours also list the talking frequency,

641
00:48:32.119 --> 00:48:36.480
so some of them might oh good, okay, Yeah, talking frequency is

642
00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:39.119
always good. Yeah, I see
the Dallas for Wurth area. That's that

643
00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:43.679
info if you can in our chat, because that would be helpful for us.

644
00:48:43.920 --> 00:48:47.519
I would like that. What's that
are they talking frequency? Throw it

645
00:48:47.559 --> 00:48:51.400
into the discord? Do they have
a is that a repeater out there?

646
00:48:51.559 --> 00:48:55.639
Rob it is? Okay, good, yeah, I will I'll put that

647
00:48:55.679 --> 00:49:00.760
in my radio for sure. So
I have to remember to to program my

648
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:05.800
new radio. You can't program your
radio by a face, but you are

649
00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:13.440
not an amateur radio operator. Mm
hmm okay, so yeah, it's but

650
00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:16.639
yeah, it's yeah, it's definitely. It's definitely fun to participate in.

651
00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:22.280
And lots of lots of people,
lots of people have are welcoming for that.

652
00:49:22.400 --> 00:49:27.519
So I'm surprised to hear that there's
some cliquish field day groups out there.

653
00:49:27.519 --> 00:49:31.480
I guess I'm not surprised, but
it is too short. Think on

654
00:49:31.480 --> 00:49:36.519
the other side, maybe there's just
a few guys who are just buddies who

655
00:49:36.559 --> 00:49:39.039
formed a club and they're doing field
day. Yeah, it doesn't necessarily mean

656
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:44.079
they just want randos showing up.
Yeah, but then then you don't publish

657
00:49:44.199 --> 00:49:46.239
information to the a double r L
field. Yeah, they publish it to

658
00:49:46.280 --> 00:49:50.119
a r L, then you're an
idiot. Yeah yeah, and you don't

659
00:49:50.119 --> 00:49:53.000
want that, right, But but
if you publish and and I'm if you

660
00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:58.079
want a private event and we've done
private events before. That's fine. You

661
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:00.000
don't put your information on here.
You put your information on here to let

662
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:05.280
people know you're doing that. And
you're welcoming a new amateur radio operators to

663
00:50:05.320 --> 00:50:07.719
help them get on the air,
show them what this hobby's avail. Because

664
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:13.320
if you're just a UHF VHF person
and I played in the playground for a

665
00:50:13.320 --> 00:50:17.920
while UHFVHF before I really got the
HF bug, this is a perfect window

666
00:50:19.000 --> 00:50:22.400
on what HF is like. This
is the perfect window to get help to

667
00:50:22.400 --> 00:50:27.719
getting on HF. Also, let
me make this statement too, So the

668
00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:34.079
key is whenever people come up to
your club that someone says hello, you

669
00:50:34.159 --> 00:50:37.639
have designated people to come up and
say hello. They don't. So one

670
00:50:37.639 --> 00:50:44.719
of the weirdest things you can do
is whenever you've got visitors that are roaming

671
00:50:44.760 --> 00:50:49.599
around underneath your pavilion and they have
no idea what's going on, and they

672
00:50:49.599 --> 00:50:53.400
have like nobody's talking to them.
You have to if your club is going

673
00:50:53.480 --> 00:50:58.960
to do this and they're going to
have if you're in a place where there's

674
00:50:59.519 --> 00:51:04.239
high foot traffic, you have to
have people that will go up to people,

675
00:51:04.480 --> 00:51:07.440
to strangers and say hey, welcome
to the club we're doing field day.

676
00:51:07.480 --> 00:51:13.199
Can I show you around and start
that conversation, because there's nothing more

677
00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:17.239
point disappointing than walking up and nobody
talking to you. Yeah, and then

678
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:20.760
then you kind of walk around try
to get what's going on, and then

679
00:51:20.760 --> 00:51:22.920
people give me the side e be
like, why are you behind me?

680
00:51:23.280 --> 00:51:28.119
Yeah, well I'm behind you because
no one said hello to me. Yeah,

681
00:51:28.280 --> 00:51:38.199
yeah, true. That's that's an
excellent point, and clubs would do

682
00:51:38.400 --> 00:51:45.639
well to understand that when new people
walk into club meetings as well. Oh

683
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.800
yes, I walked into some club
meetings and turned around and walked right out

684
00:51:50.559 --> 00:51:53.960
because nobody even said hello. Yeah, yeah, you know, it's like,

685
00:51:54.039 --> 00:51:59.280
yeah, I don't want to be
there a hello and in a five

686
00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:05.639
minute conversation goes a long long way. Yep. I have done the same

687
00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:09.639
thing. And if it is a
while, don't have four guys jump up

688
00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:15.360
at once. I'm want to creep
them out right. Yeah, have you

689
00:52:15.440 --> 00:52:20.679
heard the good word about AM radio? Hey, baby, you want to

690
00:52:20.679 --> 00:52:32.000
see my boat? Can I interest
you in a in a car warranty?

691
00:52:34.079 --> 00:52:37.280
Here's our junk pile? Would you
like to buy something? Right? Right?

692
00:52:37.800 --> 00:52:45.480
She? But yeah, so good? Don't good to come, don't

693
00:52:45.480 --> 00:52:49.320
clubs get points for having visitors?
Long Moore says, yeah, usually,

694
00:52:49.440 --> 00:52:52.440
I mean if they're reporting it that
way. Just the go to station itself

695
00:52:52.559 --> 00:52:59.079
is you have to have one operator
to get ten contacts where to get the

696
00:52:59.119 --> 00:53:01.360
go to points? Oh? Yeah, is that what it is? Yeah,

697
00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:06.320
you can't just have the station.
You got to have a someone utilizing

698
00:53:06.360 --> 00:53:09.079
it for at least ten contacts to
get the point. And then I think

699
00:53:09.119 --> 00:53:15.960
you might get more points having other
individual operators doing it too. Don't don't

700
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:20.280
set up a mountaintop ridge or go
to station. No, for sure,

701
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:24.639
No, don't do. My neighbor
just bought one of those true sdxs.

702
00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:30.920
Dude, that thing sucks. Yeah, I didn't buy one. Yeah,

703
00:53:30.960 --> 00:53:35.320
it's not good. It's not good. Well did he get the true SDX

704
00:53:35.440 --> 00:53:38.159
or the Chinese knockoff? Oh?
I guarantee you he got the Chinese not.

705
00:53:38.280 --> 00:53:44.480
He goes like apparently Amazon has auctions
for returns or something, so he's

706
00:53:44.480 --> 00:53:46.840
always going on this Amazon auction site
thing and he paid. He got it

707
00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:51.639
for thirty five bucks. Oh,
showed it to me the other day.

708
00:53:51.800 --> 00:53:53.440
Yeah, And like I knew the
speaker sounded like crap, but I've never

709
00:53:53.480 --> 00:53:57.960
actually seen one in real life and
held it. Yeah, and it's like

710
00:53:59.519 --> 00:54:04.000
they they literally brainstorm and had a
board meeting about what's the worst speaker we

711
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:08.039
can find to put in this right, and that's what they did. Yeah,

712
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:15.000
Amazon absolutely does that. I mean
there are people whose YouTube channel is

713
00:54:15.039 --> 00:54:22.119
buying like a palette of crap from
Amazon. Yeah. Yep. Hey,

714
00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:25.519
the great ideas are right there in
front of you. So that's good.

715
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:30.119
But yeah, that Yeah, those
those those knockoffs. I've got a couple

716
00:54:30.159 --> 00:54:34.079
of the knockoffs. They're not good. The true SDX is Okay, it's

717
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:38.079
not great, but it's okay.
Oh, Jason, which one? Yeah,

718
00:54:38.119 --> 00:54:43.280
one of the stations. So so
here's some of the equipment. So

719
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:49.559
okay, one of the stations is
a Flex Okay, so that's that's in

720
00:54:49.559 --> 00:54:52.639
in one. That's the one that's
primarily running twenty meters. Okay, there's

721
00:54:52.679 --> 00:55:00.440
an ft FT d X ten one
of the stations. Okay, I should

722
00:55:00.440 --> 00:55:07.880
bring my I should bring my my
new Maestro Flex and yeah, okay,

723
00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.360
I might do that. Okay,
how's that going to help you for field

724
00:55:09.440 --> 00:55:15.320
day? If a Flex radio is
there, then we just connect it,

725
00:55:15.039 --> 00:55:19.559
We connect the Maestro, we connect
him I'll have starlink running, so we

726
00:55:19.639 --> 00:55:22.519
just if they're both on starlink,
I can walk around with the Maestro's just

727
00:55:22.519 --> 00:55:25.559
so he can sit at the fire
pits, milk a cigar and run FT

728
00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:30.280
eight. That's why. Well,
oh yeah, that's not going to do

729
00:55:30.320 --> 00:55:34.239
anything for the club, though,
sure it will. You can make contacts

730
00:55:34.239 --> 00:55:37.320
with the club. Call. Yeah. If it's the radio won't be there.

731
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:40.559
Yeah, yeah, that's what Rob's
saying. They were bringing a Flex

732
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:46.079
to the Oh I'm sorry, you're
talking about home. No no, no,

733
00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:50.599
no, no no no no,
no no no. I did that.

734
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.559
I'm the confused guy. I did
that one year at our field day.

735
00:55:53.599 --> 00:55:58.119
I brought my Flex radio to field
day and when the sun went down,

736
00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:00.400
the mosquitoes were getting kind of bad, and we went inside the trailer

737
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:06.360
and I just had my laptop or
my tablet actually connected to my Flex outside

738
00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:08.440
on the antenna, and I was

Oh boy? Yeah, somebody met mentioned

748
00:56:53.679 --> 00:57:00.000
that on one of my Maritime Mobile
net videos. They're like some guy uh

749
00:57:00.159 --> 00:57:02.800
or no. This was a comment
on the one of the Reddit posts.

750
00:57:04.159 --> 00:57:07.719
It says, ah, you guys
are crying about this turmoil up here and

751
00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:09.840
I'm down here at fourteen three to
oh and I don't hear any of that.

752
00:57:10.760 --> 00:57:14.360
And I was like, yeah,
fourteen o seven four is pretty quiet

753
00:57:14.440 --> 00:57:16.679
too. Yeah. And he goes
and he comes back. He's like,

754
00:57:16.840 --> 00:57:20.639
well, robots are always well behaved, and I'm like, really, you've

755
00:57:20.679 --> 00:57:25.400
never seen the terminator of the mass. I love it. I love that

756
00:57:25.480 --> 00:57:29.800
new uh that new Microsoft recall.
That's going to be a real winner.

757
00:57:31.159 --> 00:57:36.960
You want to give your computer aids
that on? Yeah, no doubt.

758
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:40.719
Oh my gosh, that's good.
I can't wait. I can't wait to

759
00:57:40.760 --> 00:57:45.960
see that unwrapped. Oh yeah.
With my pure hatred for Windows and they're

760
00:57:46.039 --> 00:57:50.760
just the it's just the worst software
in the world. It's it's going to

761
00:57:50.800 --> 00:57:52.840
be so bad and I'm just gonna
sit back and laugh. I can't wait.

762
00:57:53.760 --> 00:58:00.239
We'll see Nope, we'll see what
happens. Make my words oat and

763
00:58:00.360 --> 00:58:05.880
right now here you hear he on
this day, no doubt. Hmm.

764
00:58:06.840 --> 00:58:09.559
I'm looking forward to this weekend to
get out there hang out with y'all.

765
00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:16.599
It's because it's been a bit.
So I'll bring some batteries, my cooler,

766
00:58:16.719 --> 00:58:22.559
my can't my canopy chairs and stuff. What else do we need?

767
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:23.719
I mean water? What are you
gonna have for food? We're gonna have

768
00:58:23.760 --> 00:58:30.039
for food. What's the food menu
that was talked back channel. I wasn't

769
00:58:30.079 --> 00:58:32.400
going to bring that up. But
you're gonna have some hot dogs, some

770
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:37.559
Joey Chestnut hot dog eating competition.
We're gonna bring food for ourselves. Now

771
00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:40.280
if people want to come out and
show up and whatnot, I think the

772
00:58:40.360 --> 00:58:45.840
club. Yeah, so a certain
amount of food. But I mean,

773
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:47.239
if if we have swarms of people
show up, there's not gonna be food

774
00:58:47.239 --> 00:58:52.960
for everybody. But we're gonna we're
gonna feed ourselves. So yeah, so

775
00:58:53.119 --> 00:58:58.679
what do we have to cook on
don't be a mood. Yeah, I

776
00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:04.079
will bring my grill. Thing that
will be gives us two stove burners and

777
00:59:04.320 --> 00:59:09.519
enough to make breakfast sausage and burritos
in the morning. Jason's gonna bring I

778
00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:19.880
believe hot dogs or hamburgers for Friday
night. And and I think we could

779
00:59:19.920 --> 00:59:22.199
make s'mores just by sticking a marshmallow
on a stick and holding it up in

780
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:25.920
the air. If you want to
bring sports stuff, I'm sure you can

781
00:59:25.960 --> 00:59:31.559
ask Emily, and you can make
those amazing bourbon marshmallow You know what.

782
00:59:31.679 --> 00:59:36.559
I don't think she wants to make
those again because the last time, the

783
00:59:36.679 --> 00:59:39.920
last time she made those, I
brought back about fifty sixty percent of them.

784
00:59:39.960 --> 00:59:44.960
We didn't need them all. And
she's like, well these these uh,

785
00:59:45.000 --> 00:59:46.599
these these take a long time to
make, and she doesn't mind making

786
00:59:46.639 --> 00:59:51.079
them. But if we're not going
to eat them, then I had my

787
00:59:51.159 --> 00:59:55.159
fair share. Yeah, you know
what. And I don't know it's it's

788
00:59:57.320 --> 01:00:00.519
I'm not big on sweets at all, Like I don't eat cake or cookies

789
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:04.320
or this kind of thing, so
I think I might. I've eaten like

790
01:00:04.559 --> 01:00:07.760
two that time, so I know
I didn't eat very many, but I

791
01:00:07.760 --> 01:00:09.679
love them. They're great, don't
get me wrong. And and and if

792
01:00:09.719 --> 01:00:15.360
she can, then maybe just do
those snacks that she did with the Saulteine

793
01:00:15.559 --> 01:00:24.199
chips and the seasoning that she did
in one year. Frank, I'm probably

794
01:00:24.199 --> 01:00:32.000
she's probably listening. She might know
she made cookies for dating. Yes,

795
01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:38.159
yes, ginger snaps. I had
those. No, those were molasses cookies.

796
01:00:38.320 --> 01:00:43.239
Oh yeah, those were molasses cookies. So she's made ginger snaps before.

797
01:00:43.280 --> 01:00:49.320
But those, yeah, as soon
as I heard the cookies. Yeah,

798
01:00:50.199 --> 01:00:52.320
Rob, here's a question for you, is is there running water out

799
01:00:52.320 --> 01:00:57.239
there? Is there? Not?
Not even it? Like there is?

800
01:00:57.960 --> 01:01:00.880
Yeah, I mean if you go
back to like the Gate area, I

801
01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:04.840
believe they've got stuff there, right, but I mean the club brings a

802
01:01:04.880 --> 01:01:08.880
ton of bottled water and SODA's right, yeah, and I will I will

803
01:01:08.920 --> 01:01:14.280
do the same myself. I'm yeah, Okay, there she is taking orders

804
01:01:14.320 --> 01:01:20.880
now. So Frank's asking about those
spicy saltine crackers, but she uses the

805
01:01:20.880 --> 01:01:24.239
mini saltines but those are no.
I wonder if I if I get out

806
01:01:24.280 --> 01:01:27.360
there, if I can fill up
my fresh water tank on the r V.

807
01:01:29.360 --> 01:01:31.920
There's a place to do that.
I'm not sure about that Okay,

808
01:01:32.679 --> 01:01:38.119
I didn't want to. Yeah,
because I I'm gonna want to shower at

809
01:01:38.199 --> 01:01:44.079
night, and I'm yeah, one
night, I'll wash my hair the next

810
01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:45.760
day and I'll be fine. Go
ahead. Well, I think we're gonna

811
01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:49.480
stay for two nights and it's gonna
be and we're gonna be out there all

812
01:01:51.519 --> 01:01:53.159
Yeah, definitely gonna want to shower. Yeah, yeah, I'm gonna want

813
01:01:53.159 --> 01:01:58.320
to shower. But you don't shower, you're not sleeping in the camper.

814
01:01:58.880 --> 01:02:01.880
Yeah, Rob, you had something. Yeah, Well, I was just

815
01:02:01.920 --> 01:02:07.400
gonna say. On Saturday, the
club brings in a smoker and provides barbecue

816
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:19.239
for Saturday evening. Okay, so
there's usually there's usually brisket, ribs,

817
01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:23.639
sausage. So you know, a
good selection of barbecue. Brisket makes a

818
01:02:23.639 --> 01:02:30.760
good ground plane. Thank you.
She said she will make the hot crackers

819
01:02:30.760 --> 01:02:34.039
for us and some cookies. Yeah
that makes me happy. There you go.

820
01:02:34.599 --> 01:02:36.559
Oh the hot crackers were good.
I don't know where I had the

821
01:02:36.559 --> 01:02:39.639
hot crackers. Where did where did
she bring the hot She probably brought those

822
01:02:39.679 --> 01:02:43.679
to Huntsville. Oh they were yeah, yeah, she probably, yeah,

823
01:02:43.719 --> 01:02:46.159
she brought she brought several things to
Huntsville. Last two years since she's she's

824
01:02:46.360 --> 01:02:51.400
she comes with us to Huntsville.
So hot crackers, hot crackers, hot

825
01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:58.039
crackers, So that just sounds hot. Yeah. Yeah, we're not talking

826
01:02:58.039 --> 01:03:05.679
about sexy looking white people. We're
just you went there. Yeah. Yeah.

827
01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:08.840
I want to know when we didn't
eat all the marshmallows. I can't.

828
01:03:08.960 --> 01:03:14.719
I think it was last Filled Day
when it was, I can't imagine.

829
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:20.119
Yeah, it was just me and
the flamethrower. There was one time

830
01:03:20.119 --> 01:03:22.440
where it melted into a ball because
we had him in the truck, but

831
01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:27.280
they fell down on the back on
the floorboard of the back seat of the

832
01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:30.199
truck, and I guess that gets
hot melt marshmallows. That's what the Yeah,

833
01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:35.000
the Grand Canon trip because because I
had him sitting up on the up

834
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:37.760
on the console and I guess they
fell when I turned the truck. I

835
01:03:37.800 --> 01:03:39.960
think it was last fiel Day,
me and Mike turned by a flamethrower upside

836
01:03:40.039 --> 01:03:45.000
down and we were melting marshmallows off
of it. But I think it was

837
01:03:45.199 --> 01:03:49.840
just the heat and hotness or how
hot it was. No one really wanted

838
01:03:49.880 --> 01:03:52.960
to stack on it. So maybe
they're not a good summer field day street.

839
01:03:53.440 --> 01:03:59.239
It's Valerie Burtonellity Burtnelly. Isn't that
Eddie van Halen's wife? Yeah?

840
01:03:59.559 --> 01:04:04.079
Yeah, oh man, did Eddie
van Halen eat those eat those marshmallows?

841
01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:14.000
So I get a get to get
some good guitar picking in. I wish

842
01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:20.400
that worked? Yeah right, yeah, yeah that's right. Yeah, I

843
01:04:20.599 --> 01:04:24.880
was one change. Yeah, yeah, it should be should be fun,

844
01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:29.559
should be really fun. And and
then you're said you might do some four

845
01:04:29.599 --> 01:04:31.719
wheeling. I might. Uh yeah. It looks like if you go to

846
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:36.119
the website, it has uh trails
listed by it's as says one wheel,

847
01:04:36.239 --> 01:04:43.679
which I guess means like a motorcycle. Yeah. Maybe it started at two

848
01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:45.880
wheels, but they had two,
three, four, and five wheels,

849
01:04:45.880 --> 01:04:50.000
and I'm like, it's a clown
Yeah clounie breaks out. Yeah yeah,

850
01:04:51.280 --> 01:04:56.519
I said one wheel. I think
that's just I think that's just the level.

851
01:04:56.519 --> 01:05:00.599
I think they're using one through five
is as just the level of So

852
01:05:00.679 --> 01:05:02.360
yeah, I would probably go in
like a like a two, maybe a

853
01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:05.559
three, probably a two at first, and uh, I'm not going to

854
01:05:05.599 --> 01:05:09.480
do a four or five because I
don't have a rock crawl. I don't

855
01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:11.400
want to do any rock crawling.
I don't have a rock crawler. I

856
01:05:11.400 --> 01:05:13.679
don't know if they have rock crawling
trails out there or not, but I'd

857
01:05:13.679 --> 01:05:15.679
like to do a kind of a
nice, you know, load a mid

858
01:05:15.719 --> 01:05:24.360
grade trail, go out there and
kind of see what it's about. So

859
01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:28.119
oh, n a Yo is putting
in a request for the hot saltees for

860
01:05:28.199 --> 01:05:31.519
Yellowstone. We're gonna need all the
snacks we can get. That's probably true,

861
01:05:31.719 --> 01:05:35.760
you know what, that they won't
make it to Yellowstone because yeah,

862
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:42.159
it's yeah. I mean we got
to drive three days to southern Utah,

863
01:05:42.360 --> 01:05:45.559
go to a hamfest that weekend,
and drive up through Salt Lake. By

864
01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:46.760
the time we get to Yellowstone,
it's a good chance those will be gone.

865
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:50.039
So I don't know, we'll see, we'll see about it. Mike

866
01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:57.400
save him one yeah, yeah,
yeah, one cracker put it in an

867
01:05:57.519 --> 01:06:03.800
envelope and yeah, oh yeah.
Mike says he has your chairs, Frank

868
01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:09.440
yep, remember very well, Mike. I think he's saying he's holding him

869
01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:15.840
hostage for the crackers. Yeah,
I love it. I love it.

870
01:06:15.960 --> 01:06:24.599
That's good anyway. So yeah,
So if anyone's in Bridgeport area, and

871
01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:27.239
we did clear this with the club. We didn't want to make this announcement

872
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:29.800
and say, have a bunch of
people show up that they didn't know about.

873
01:06:29.880 --> 01:06:30.800
So we asked him about it and
they're like, yeah, sure,

874
01:06:31.360 --> 01:06:34.920
So Bridgeport's kind of out there.
It's not really close to the Metroplex,

875
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:41.440
so but it's you know, it's
uh, it would be a cool place

876
01:06:41.480 --> 01:06:43.800
to hang and if you have it, if you have an overland or off

877
01:06:43.920 --> 01:06:45.840
road vehicle, then you're probably gonna
want to come out and check out that

878
01:06:45.880 --> 01:06:48.280
trail park anyway, even if you
don't want to do field day. So

879
01:06:49.199 --> 01:06:53.360
well, if if you have one
of those vehicles, you probably already know

880
01:06:53.400 --> 01:06:56.559
about that park. Yeah, probably
so, probably so, or maybe you've

881
01:06:56.559 --> 01:07:00.119
heard of it. Yeah, remind
me, I do need to do a

882
01:07:00.119 --> 01:07:05.400
phone call for the Yellowstone trip forty
five Auto says bearproof snack containers. That

883
01:07:05.559 --> 01:07:14.159
was an open question we I need
to get answered. Yep. Okay,

884
01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:20.639
well good, here's your reminder.
Frank on me like tomorrow because they're not

885
01:07:20.679 --> 01:07:26.360
open right now and I've been drinking. There's there's apps to do that.

886
01:07:26.679 --> 01:07:30.840
Yeah, there's Yeah, they're not
they're not open today. Let's see.

887
01:07:31.119 --> 01:07:34.360
Okay, I scene if Chris replied
to me, all right, guys,

888
01:07:34.360 --> 01:07:36.760
thank you for joining us tonight.
Thank you to the four of you on

889
01:07:36.840 --> 01:07:41.440
Zoom as well. Once again,
I said at the beginning of the stream,

890
01:07:41.599 --> 01:07:44.840
I was supposed to have Chris on
tonight, author of the Going Home

891
01:07:44.880 --> 01:07:49.119
series, and he literally has a
broken down car in Florida right now.

892
01:07:49.159 --> 01:07:54.519
So we laughed about that a little
bit. But I'm gonna I'm gonna call

893
01:07:54.599 --> 01:07:57.119
him on the phone tomorrow. We're
gonna figure out another time to come on,

894
01:07:57.239 --> 01:08:00.599
and so I absolutely want to have
him on. Someone made am in

895
01:08:00.719 --> 01:08:04.239
one of the so oh here here's
something. So there is a if you've

896
01:08:04.239 --> 01:08:08.880
ever read the books, you probably
recognize the name stump Knocker. It's a

897
01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:12.320
call sign in one of the military
guys. There's a stump Knocker Net on

898
01:08:12.400 --> 01:08:18.079
DMR every Monday night. So and
there's a stump Knocker talk group. Uh

899
01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:21.479
so, if you look up stump
Knocker in the DMR talk groups, I

900
01:08:21.600 --> 01:08:27.159
think it's on. They told me
it was on tg I F but I

901
01:08:27.159 --> 01:08:30.520
thought I put Brandmeister talk group in
there, but I can't remember right now,

902
01:08:30.560 --> 01:08:33.800
But look up stump Knocker Net,
stump Knocker DMR, and I've checked

903
01:08:33.800 --> 01:08:38.399
into it the last two or maybe
three weeks, and I'll probably check into

904
01:08:38.439 --> 01:08:44.199
it tomorrow night because I should be
here or I should be in. Actually,

905
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:48.279
no, it's it follows the book. It's came came from the book.

906
01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:53.119
So Chris, I haven't ever heard
Chris cha. I'm told that Chris

907
01:08:53.159 --> 01:08:56.520
got his hand radio license after he
started writing those books, and that was

908
01:08:56.520 --> 01:08:58.800
one of the one of the things
I was going to ask him about tonight.

909
01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:03.560
Yeah, seven three Ham Radio Stump
Knocker is great. So it's TGI.

910
01:09:03.760 --> 01:09:06.239
Yeah, yeah, I thought it
was a tg IF for some reason,

911
01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:09.319
I was thinking, as brandmeister been, I thought, no, it's

912
01:09:09.319 --> 01:09:15.039
a TGIF talk group. So uh
yeah, but yeah, so look that

913
01:09:15.159 --> 01:09:17.720
up. I check in. I've
checked in to that for the last two

914
01:09:17.760 --> 01:09:21.000
or three and it's it's small.
It's like six or eight check ins.

915
01:09:21.000 --> 01:09:25.880
It's not very big. But I
figured that, you know, I say

916
01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:29.560
something on YouTube, we might have
a few more check ins to right,

917
01:09:29.720 --> 01:09:32.359
So check that out if you want
to. But yeah, Field Day next

918
01:09:32.359 --> 01:09:35.800
weekend. Looking forward to it.
You'll see some video coming out of Bridgeport

919
01:09:36.680 --> 01:09:41.680
and from US And I guess everyone
but Kyle Kyle, if you want to

920
01:09:41.720 --> 01:09:45.359
drive out, you're welcome to.
But Kyles a long drive. I don't

921
01:09:45.359 --> 01:09:50.920
know, there's gonna be hot crackers. Yeah, hot crackers. Your truck

922
01:09:50.960 --> 01:09:55.079
does have one hundred thousand miles on
it. Now that that little toy truck

923
01:09:55.119 --> 01:09:59.359
you've got, it's got one hundred
thousand miles on it. Yeah, bring

924
01:09:59.359 --> 01:10:02.159
your hiker out, dude. I
hear my little toy. True. I

925
01:10:02.800 --> 01:10:09.119
was southwest. I hear they're doing
bear rolls now. I I saw your

926
01:10:09.159 --> 01:10:12.039
post, Kyle. I guess it
was on Twitter like a month ago,

927
01:10:12.199 --> 01:10:14.760
and You're like, I love this
truck. I just turned one hundred thousand

928
01:10:14.800 --> 01:10:16.960
miles and I was like, I
was. I was not near my truck

929
01:10:16.960 --> 01:10:19.159
at the time. I was like
really wanting to take a picture of my

930
01:10:19.239 --> 01:10:26.239
odometer and reply to you and say, oh, how cute because mine's got

931
01:10:26.279 --> 01:10:30.800
like three hundred and sixteen. But
you don't understand. I have had cars

932
01:10:30.840 --> 01:10:35.319
that get to like one forty and
they just they just absolutely explode. Yeah.

933
01:10:35.439 --> 01:10:39.520
Yeah, so you're not there yet, no idea, right, yeah,

934
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:44.039
Fords, that's the problem. Oh
no, no, No, two

935
01:10:44.159 --> 01:10:47.880
hundred and thirteen thousand miles on my
fusion and now my nephew's driving it.

936
01:10:47.880 --> 01:10:54.640
It's my fusion got to one fifty
five and exploded. I think when I

937
01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:57.960
talk when I talk about Fords,
I'm talking about trucks. I'm not talking

938
01:10:57.960 --> 01:11:00.520
about cars. Yeah, but my
wife's my wife's first escape had two hundred

939
01:11:00.520 --> 01:11:03.800
and sixty thousand miles on it before
we got rid of it. Yeah,

940
01:11:03.840 --> 01:11:08.000
I had rate. I had two
Rangers. My first two cars, my

941
01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:12.960
first two automobiles were were Rangers,
and I drove them to one hundred and

942
01:11:13.079 --> 01:11:16.079
seventy thousand miles and they were great. And then I got exploders and they

943
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:20.279
exploded. And then I got a
Fusion and that exploded. So now I've

944
01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:23.760
got a Tacoma and everyone's like,
oh, it's gonna take you know,

945
01:11:23.800 --> 01:11:26.960
three hundred thousand miles. I'm just
like, well, you just jinxed me

946
01:11:27.039 --> 01:11:32.159
because yeah, yeah, right right, yeah yeah yeah. Izzo has a

947
01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:35.520
great question, and I'm going to
bring it up here. He said,

948
01:11:35.560 --> 01:11:42.239
does Polo software support field day logging? Yes? It doesn't even I haven't

949
01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:46.640
even used that yet. It does, so winter field day and field day.

950
01:11:50.319 --> 01:11:54.920
Cool? What software are they using
out there? Rob? Do you

951
01:11:54.960 --> 01:12:01.159
know, Jeff dat with all Windows
computers? Maybe a crap crap opolis or

952
01:12:01.239 --> 01:12:08.119
whatever that is without bricking it over
under on how many Windows computers are broken

953
01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:14.600
this week? Yeah it is three
f J p J Yeah. Yeah,

954
01:12:14.800 --> 01:12:18.399
good, Well we've got that.
So and somebody else takes care of that.

955
01:12:18.760 --> 01:12:20.760
Brank doesn't have to touch any of
it. He doesn't have to.

956
01:12:20.840 --> 01:12:25.399
That's what the network. It's all
done. It's all done. Yeah.

957
01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:31.039
Network is not hard. Yeah,
it's not hard doing the TCP logging.

958
01:12:31.399 --> 01:12:35.520
All you got to do is make
sure your computers up and your network is

959
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:45.439
stable, and after that it's it's
pretty fine minus rogue Windows updates. That's

960
01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:47.880
his story, and he's sticking to
its updates. Yes, for sure.

961
01:12:48.520 --> 01:12:53.960
I did a video on it,
and that makes it the truth. Yeah,

962
01:12:54.039 --> 01:12:59.720
it's on YouTube. It's on YouTube. It's gotta be true. Well

963
01:12:59.720 --> 01:13:02.159
cool, Thanks guys. I appreciate
everyone hopping on at the last minute tonight.

964
01:13:02.239 --> 01:13:05.039
This is a it's always a fun
conversation. Of course, we will

965
01:13:05.039 --> 01:13:09.000
get Chris on here in the next
few weeks. Next week. I would

966
01:13:09.000 --> 01:13:11.640
bring Chris on next week, but
next week and I actually have Oh,

967
01:13:11.680 --> 01:13:13.279
so let me real quick. I
mean, this is the last thing I'll

968
01:13:13.319 --> 01:13:15.840
say. I'm gonna shut it down. So for so some of you might

969
01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:19.039
have heard me say this already,
but for whatever reason, we did a

970
01:13:19.079 --> 01:13:26.479
live stream from Dayton on Wednesday before
him Vention. It was Rob Frank,

971
01:13:26.760 --> 01:13:29.560
Mike I think you were there,
Kyle, I don't think you were there

972
01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:31.079
yet, and it was two or
three other people. We were at the

973
01:13:31.079 --> 01:13:38.159
campsite at him venchon on Wednesday and
we live stream for two hours and it

974
01:13:38.199 --> 01:13:40.880
was a great It was a great
live stream, a lot of participation,

975
01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:43.399
had a fun time. We go
to sleep that night, wake up the

976
01:13:43.439 --> 01:13:45.960
next morning. In every live including
that one, every live stream on my

977
01:13:46.079 --> 01:13:51.159
channel from twenty twenty four was gone, just completely gone. So all of

978
01:13:51.199 --> 01:13:55.960
my uploaded videos were there, all
of my posts, my comments, everything

979
01:13:56.039 --> 01:13:59.840
was fine, just the live streams
were gone. It was another Windows update.

980
01:14:00.479 --> 01:14:03.600
Yeah, probably so. So I
contacted YouTube and they're like, yeah,

981
01:14:03.680 --> 01:14:06.319
we we think that one of your
admins deleted them. I'm like,

982
01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:10.399
I don't have any admins that have
rights to delete or upload to my channel.

983
01:14:10.439 --> 01:14:13.439
So we went through that and they
were able to restore some of them,

984
01:14:13.439 --> 01:14:16.439
but not all of them. So
all of that to say, Ham

985
01:14:16.560 --> 01:14:20.079
con Zion, those guys were on
the channel two or three months ago talking

986
01:14:20.119 --> 01:14:23.960
about the ham Fest next month in
July that we're going to that, Frank

987
01:14:24.000 --> 01:14:29.479
and I are going to that now. I have them all downloaded, but

988
01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:31.600
if I upload it today then it's
old information and it's kind of like,

989
01:14:31.680 --> 01:14:34.520
oh, you know, why is
this? It might confuse people. So

990
01:14:34.560 --> 01:14:36.279
I'll reached out to them. I'm
like, hey, why don't you guys

991
01:14:36.319 --> 01:14:39.720
