00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:19.879
you got your camera turned off and
your audio turned on, So I'm gonna

30
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:28.960
mute you. I mean we should
listen in flex radio on six meters so

31
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.039
yeah, yeah, we should totally
listen in so oh boy. Yeah,

32
00:02:34.080 --> 00:02:38.319
So what's going on everybody? How
is uh? How's how's everybody getting because

33
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.599
I didn't see any of Kyle's trivia, so I'm just how how's Kyle's window

34
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:50.879
still up there? I thought you
had it hidden non video people. I

35
00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:53.560
do not know that's that's on your
side. You can hide that on No.

36
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:58.240
No, I'm looking at the live
stream side. We got a hand

37
00:02:58.280 --> 00:03:00.840
two point h sticker. I know
that's Kyle. All right, he's locked.

38
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:05.919
He's using my Zoom account. He's
been using my Zoo account for the

39
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.439
last year and a half or so. I need that part. Yeah,

40
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:13.639
go ahead, Jason with what I
have no idea. What are you drink

41
00:03:13.639 --> 00:03:16.159
it tonight? Let me take over
here. I am already for this.

42
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:22.680
What's on your desk? This is
six oh three Brewery, which I don't

43
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.960
really know where that is. We've
got a five oh three brewery here in

44
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:31.240
Texas. Six oh three brewing.
You know what? This is from Connecticut?

45
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.439
This is from Connecticut. This is
one of the beers that is that

46
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:38.960
I bought when I was in Connecticut
and Izzo shipped me a month or so

47
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:44.840
ago. I bought like four twelve
four four packs and he shipped to me

48
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.120
a cinema shipping Lebel he shipped him
to me. So, yeah, this

49
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:52.479
is a six oh three brewing in
Connecticut, and it is a toasted pumpkin

50
00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:55.039
ale. It's quite tasty. If
you like toasting pumpkins, you would like

51
00:03:55.080 --> 00:04:00.479
it. So that's what I'm not
fall I know, but you know what,

52
00:04:00.719 --> 00:04:05.520
I hey, you know what,
the weather today was very fall like.

53
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:10.280
It was beautiful, not it was
not hot. It was sunny,

54
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.560
it was not windy, it wouldn't
raining its clear skies. It was very

55
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:21.839
fall like today. So anyway,
there you go. So gosh, where

56
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:28.360
is everybody tonight? I don't know. Maybe they didn't want to have a

57
00:04:28.399 --> 00:04:31.120
happy hour. Maybe just people who
are just not happy this weekend. I

58
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.839
don't know why. They just wanted
to have a mediocre hour and they're like,

59
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:39.680
you know what, I can't attend
because it's a happy hour. It

60
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:43.279
was just a mediocre hour, that's
all it is. Right there. Oh

61
00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:50.279
my goodness. So okay, I
don't know. Okay, So well,

62
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:53.920
what's going on? Go ahead,
Frank, what's going on with you?

63
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.720
Not much, man, It's good
to be on a happy hour. It's

64
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.079
been a while since I've been on
a happy hour. Yeah, you missed

65
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.560
the last one. Didn't you.
Yeah, I missed last Sunday. I'll

66
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:08.000
tell you why off scream, but
I had something happen and I was just

67
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:10.759
I did not want to be on
camera, so I was like, I'm

68
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.439
done, I'm done, and I
took the day off micros and he's giggling.

69
00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:20.319
I'll tell you all later, but
it's good to be back. I

70
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:26.600
am drinking bullet. This bullet was
given to me by a Patreon. They

71
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:30.759
hit me up and did a super
chat, or actually it was a buy

72
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:33.480
me a beer, and he sent
me enough for a bottle of whiskey.

73
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:38.959
I said, yes, sir,
I will buy that right away. It

74
00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:41.439
took me a while to get to
it because I had something to get through,

75
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:45.040
but I did get it. I
bought a bottle of that, that

76
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:47.319
exact bullet, that the one with
the orange label. I bought a bottle

77
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:51.920
of that maybe four months ago,
three or four months ago, uh huh.

78
00:05:53.240 --> 00:06:00.600
And I bought a bottle of would
preserve the cask oak. And then

79
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.360
I bought a bottle of something else
and I drank everything before the bullet.

80
00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:10.160
I think the bullet is my least
favorite. It's not bad, but compared

81
00:06:10.199 --> 00:06:15.519
to the other things I have purchased
recently. You had like these there,

82
00:06:15.639 --> 00:06:19.240
and I don't blame you for it
being the last one there. Yeah,

83
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:23.279
it's yeah, it's it was good. It was just you know, I

84
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.800
was trying trying to get in the
thing where I was starting to buy new

85
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.439
whiskeys and test out new whiskeys,
and see I was about to say,

86
00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.319
hey, sounds like you're supplying us
with the whiskey that go around. Mm.

87
00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.720
No, not really, but oh, you know you had all this

88
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:40.720
good stuff, man, I did, well, you know what, I

89
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:45.160
left a lot of that in Galveston. There's there's, there's it's there's a

90
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.639
pantry I shouldn't say full. There's
three or four bottles of whiskey and Galveston

91
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.800
that's uh, that are there for
the next time I get there. So

92
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.560
where is the hidden key. Yeah, it's not the house key. No,

93
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.560
it's not that. No. We
have we have three closets inside the

94
00:07:01.560 --> 00:07:05.120
house that we lock our own stuff
in and it's in the pan including the

95
00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:09.560
pantry. We have a cabinet pantry
for the for the tenants there, but

96
00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.920
we have a big walk in pantry
that we keep for ourselves and it's all

97
00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:15.759
in there. We keep I've got
some beer, some Galveston beer and some

98
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.439
empty growlers that I keep down there, and I left h I left most

99
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:24.399
of that, most of that hard
liquor that people did not take with them

100
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:29.680
after Winter field Day. I left
it there. So maybe it's there for

101
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:31.720
the next time I go down so
which which will probably be Labor Day.

102
00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:42.439
But that's where that is. Mike, what's going on with you? Oh?

103
00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:48.720
Just uh making videos for Mac users. I saw that package of and

104
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:54.560
somebody made a comment earlier on that
video that I posted today, But it's

105
00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:58.000
like I I was kind of feeling
the same way. This comment was,

106
00:07:58.240 --> 00:08:03.240
like I need to be the guy
to make the videos for Mac because there's

107
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:07.079
not a lot of them I've made. I've made one or two, you

108
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.279
know, this might be the third
one. But there's there's really not a

109
00:08:11.319 --> 00:08:16.720
shortage of Ham Radio programs on a
Mac. Like when I first got into

110
00:08:16.800 --> 00:08:24.680
radio, it was it was a
little more difficult to find. Once once

111
00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.279
you do a little more digging,
it's like, okay, well, you

112
00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:31.160
know, Ham Radio Deluxe might not
be on Mac, but rumlog n g

113
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:37.200
is and rumlog on G is frickin
awesome. Yeah, it's free and you

114
00:08:37.240 --> 00:08:41.480
know, like like CHIRP and fl
rig, fl dig w s j t

115
00:08:41.759 --> 00:08:46.440
X grid tracker. Somebody somebody asked
me, can you do wind link?

116
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.240
Yes you can. Can you remote
into your icons? Yes you can.

117
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:54.320
There's a couple apps ones free,
ones one hundred bucks. Uh, which

118
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:58.759
one do you think probably gets use
more? But yeah, I mean there's

119
00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:01.679
some things that I can can't do, like if I want to use like

120
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:09.440
if I want to program some my
Icon radios or my my yesu hts uh,

121
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:11.399
those aren't supported by chirp for some
reason. So I have so I

122
00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.480
just downloaded the software that Yasu and
Icon makes, so I have to use

123
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:18.720
Windows computer for that. But like
how often am I? Like I'm doing

124
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.080
that once? You know, when
you're doing like a whole batch entry.

125
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:28.240
But if you're just loading in like
one repeater, right, you don't need

126
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.679
a computer so very rarely, or
like you know, when the Chinese company

127
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:33.559
send you like a d MR radio
and you got to use their CPS,

128
00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:41.320
then I got to use Windows.
But other than that, there's I'm not

129
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.159
missing anything, you know. So
even somebody else commented on satellites, there's

130
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:50.279
there's satellite I think it's like Mac
Doppler or something like that. I'm not

131
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:54.519
in a satellite, so I haven't
I haven't delved into that. But yeah,

132
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:58.039
there's there's no shortage. So if
you've got a Mac, there's all

133
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:01.159
kinds of cool stuff to use.
So good, well, good, that's

134
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.879
that's good. I know that.
I know that. I've seen other channels

135
00:10:05.879 --> 00:10:13.200
do videos about Windows, Windows Android
apps and how how there's a plethora of

136
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:18.799
Android apps out there for ham radio
usage and there's a lot for iOS as

137
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:22.720
well. Yeah. I think the
the apps market's pretty fair, but I

138
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:28.240
think Mike has correctly pointed out that
the app logging and some of the advanced

139
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:33.919
tools to getting into radios and programming
it is a little lacking, and I

140
00:10:33.919 --> 00:10:37.159
think you will thrive in that market. Man. Yeah, before we get

141
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:41.960
too deep, Jason, I just
I want to say this earlier early yep,

142
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.279
and I'm glad you're sitting down.
I want to give you not one,

143
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:56.679
but two compliments. I think I'm
ready go ahead. Your video yesterday

144
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:01.840
about the body mcboat face net.
My my wife watched that. She looked

145
00:11:01.840 --> 00:11:05.080
over. She's like, Wow,
you're really getting into this, arn't you.

146
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.679
Yeah. I got a little heated, but yeah, Well, that's

147
00:11:07.720 --> 00:11:11.360
great because I've had people email me
and I've covered that in mailbag Monday before.

148
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:16.440
Yeah, and it's great to see
other people kind of, you know,

149
00:11:16.519 --> 00:11:20.879
calling them out for this stuff.
Like, right, ninety nine point

150
00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:24.840
nine percent of the time, there's
not emergency traffic on the broody mcboat face

151
00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:30.200
net. Right, And I moved
that we from henceforth call it the body

152
00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:33.799
mcboat face net. I know that's
what the that's what. Yeah, That's

153
00:11:33.799 --> 00:11:37.120
what that guy on on Reddit was
saying. And I'm like, oh,

154
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.639
that's gonna be hilarious. That was
hilarious. So that's compliment one. Good

155
00:11:39.679 --> 00:11:45.000
good job on that video. Thanks, second compliment. Uh And I texted

156
00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.559
you about this like a week or
so ago. But a few weeks ago,

157
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.000
Jason posted a video about a series
of books. Oh yes, and

158
00:11:56.360 --> 00:12:01.159
I these books are right up my
alley, like literally really the reason I

159
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.879
got into ham radio, yeah,
is like this story. So the first

160
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:13.399
book is called Surviving Home by a
American. He's got twelve books in this

161
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.279
series. So I read this one. This is they're all close to five

162
00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.080
hundred pages? Is that the first
one? I thought the first one was

163
00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.720
called Going Home? No, I'm
sorry I'm sorry. Going home. Yeah

164
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:24.200
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I read I read

165
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.320
going Home these books and they're not
you know, they're not like large print

166
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.960
you know picture books. They're actual
you know, book book type books.

167
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:37.120
You actually have to know how to
read. There's not a single picture in

168
00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:39.360
here. Yeah, sorry, Frank, you actually have to know how to

169
00:12:39.399 --> 00:12:43.679
read. But it's survival. It's
it's stuff hits the fan, there's ham

170
00:12:43.759 --> 00:12:48.080
radio in it. It's it's everything
that I was praying for COVID to be

171
00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:54.240
then, and it wasn't like I
can't put these books down, like I'm

172
00:12:54.240 --> 00:12:56.559
going to bed early, Like I'll
go to bed at eight o'clock just so

173
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:58.600
I can read this, and before
I know it, it's like one in

174
00:12:58.639 --> 00:13:03.480
the morning. I read this one
in five days. Yeah, I read

175
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.440
this one. I just finished this
last night. I read this in four

176
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.600
days. And when I was like
halfway through this, after the second day,

177
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:13.840
I went on Amazon and bought the
third one. Right, yeah,

178
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:20.279
this probably not tonight because I'm drinking, but I've already ordered the fourth book.

179
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:26.039
So Jason, drop your affiliate.
Yeah, I will do that.

180
00:13:26.080 --> 00:13:33.600
I will do amazing. I am
so enjoying these stories and the way it's

181
00:13:33.639 --> 00:13:41.679
written, the characters, the things
that Fad does with pigs. Yes,

182
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.279
at that, it's freaking awesome.
And I read that and I'm like,

183
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.759
dude, I'm like this guy,
I need to hang out with this dude.

184
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:54.840
You know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that

185
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.519
got that was that was that was
dark, that that part that part of

186
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:01.519
it was dark, but yeah it

187
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.440

stuff hits the fan. Everything's cool for

189
00:14:09.759 --> 00:14:13.879
a couple of days and then people
and I dude, I worked in retail

190
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.840
most of my life. People are
selfish as crape there. They're gimme,

191
00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.399
gimme, gimme. The customer is
always right. Everyone should do things for

192
00:14:22.519 --> 00:14:26.600
me all that, and like just
what happens in this book and the way

193
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:33.519
people start turning is just it's awesome. I can't recommend these enough and thank

194
00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:37.200
you for that. When I watched
I'm Glad, I immediately went on Amazon.

195
00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.639
I'm like, that's right up my
alley. If you go read the

196
00:14:39.720 --> 00:14:46.320
comments section of that video. During
that video, I said, I said,

197
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:50.039
here, you know, I'm giving
my spiel about that series of books

198
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.320
and whatnot, and I and I
asked a question to the audience, which

199
00:14:52.320 --> 00:14:54.360
I tend to do and in most
of my videos, and I said,

200
00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.000
what are some other series you guys
recommend? And I've probably got twelve,

201
00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:05.519
fifteen, eighteen different comments in that
video, people saying, hey, that's

202
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.960
a great series. Go check this
series out. This was good, this

203
00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.799
was just as good. This was
I like this series better. I like

204
00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.559
this series as well, you know
that kind of thing. So for other

205
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:16.879
suggestions, go read the comment section
of that video, because I got some

206
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.559
really good suggestions from all of you
guys who commented on it. So it

207
00:15:20.639 --> 00:15:24.759
was that It's always fun to engage
the audience that way. I've got ten

208
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.840
more books to read in this series. First, Like, I thought Jurassic

209
00:15:28.879 --> 00:15:31.960
Park was good because that was the
last novel I wrote or I read before

210
00:15:31.080 --> 00:15:37.039
I wrote, before this, and
I burned through that. But I I

211
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.840
I read that in I mean maybe
over the course of like a week and

212
00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:43.320
a half or two weeks. And
I'm not reading like every single night.

213
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.039
I might, you know, skip
a night or whatever. But yeah,

214
00:15:46.200 --> 00:15:50.799
yeah, Park was fantastic, too. Holy crap, this whole home Surviving

215
00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:56.480
Home series. Yeah, yeah,
it's awesome, Rob, that's not a

216
00:15:56.480 --> 00:16:00.720
bad idea. Ham Radio two point
zero book club. Maybe we will do

217
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:04.399

a few other guys were in there with

220
00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:18.240

this and he put picked some book balls.

221
00:16:18.759 --> 00:16:22.919
Yeah, we called the guy Bong. He called it the Mac book

222

Club. Uh yeah. But glad
to see your awake, Kyle. Sorry,

223
00:16:34.080 --> 00:16:37.440
oh you're good. I know they
were asking you about six meters on

224
00:16:37.480 --> 00:16:44.039
Flex. Well's that's how I've muted
you. Oh yeah, yeah, you

225
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:45.799
turned your your camera off, but
you lift your audio on. It's not

226
00:16:47.159 --> 00:16:49.399
sorry, it wasn't very loud.
It's fine, it's fine. Well Ward

227
00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.519
was asking why the six meter antenna
was all messed up. He's like,

228
00:16:53.559 --> 00:16:56.559
does Flex have six meters? I'm
like, yeah, they do it,

229
00:16:56.679 --> 00:16:59.759
So that's what I was talking about. Yeah, okay, all right,

236
00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:27.319
something like that. And then I
put him down forever for whatever reason,

237
00:17:27.359 --> 00:17:30.759
I put him down, and uh, and I started getting back into it

238
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:34.279

00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:25.960
Dennis Dennis? Yeah, yeah,
okay, changed his name. Okay,

264
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:27.720
Yeah, it's gonna say it looks
like his avatar. That's why I was

265
00:19:27.720 --> 00:19:30.559
wondering if that was eighty sixty.
M okay, cool man. Yeah,

266
00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:34.039
Dennis let us. Hey Dennis,

everyone here? Uh, Craig,
I know you're going. You're sure it's

00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:41.160

right, correct? Okay, what are

269
00:19:41.200 --> 00:19:47.599
you gonna? Where are you staying? Oh, that's a good question.

270
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.000
Probably a lean to next to some
guy's motor home in the back alley.

271
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:56.400
Okay, I think it's a comfort
in so it's the same thing. That's

272
00:19:56.480 --> 00:20:02.759
yeah, probably so okay, groof
optional? Windows optional? Is it good

273
00:20:03.160 --> 00:20:07.440
by the university? I have no
idea. Last time I was in that

274
00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:12.039
area, I was driving eighteen wheels
and I tried to get out of Ohio

275
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:18.079
as fast as I could. I
feel that way about Illinois, Yes,

276
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:22.119
so that way about California. If
you feel that way about both Ohio and

277
00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:27.359
Illinois, Ohio is not too bad. It's not too bad. I've been

278
00:20:27.400 --> 00:20:32.440
in worse places. I put it
that way. Yeah, California. Yeah,

279
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:36.599
I've been in California. But you
didn't grow up in Michigan. No,

280
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:40.279
very true, very true. I
did not grow up in Michigan.

281
00:20:40.880 --> 00:20:44.200
Yeah. I put a this was
funny. I put a video on.

282
00:20:44.559 --> 00:20:48.440
I think it was my unplug channel
about my truck and how I've got the

283
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.279
roof rack and stuff strapped to the
roofrack, and I got my battery box

284
00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:53.000
and my fridge in the back of
the truck. And some guy comes along

285
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.839
and he's like, man, life
must be different in Texas where I live.

286
00:20:57.000 --> 00:21:00.279
Everybody would steal that crap out of
the truck. And I'm like,

287
00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.319
move to Texas, bro. I
don't know what to tell you. I

288
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:04.839
mean, if you live where there's
a bunch of crime, maybe you out

289
00:21:04.839 --> 00:21:07.799
of vam Ooz, you know,
get the heck out. I don't know

290
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:11.000
what to tell you, but I
mean there's crime everywhere. Don't get me

291
00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:14.440
wrong. There's stuff gets stolen around
here too. But I drive my truck

292
00:21:14.440 --> 00:21:17.519
around. I've never had it broken
into. Knock on wood. But uh

293
00:21:18.000 --> 00:21:22.119
yeah, I thought they, you
know, they're any criminals, they're probably

294
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.880
a little more suspect, you know. I mean it's possible there's a well,

295
00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:29.799
and it's possible there's a camera that's
watching them twenty four to seven.

296
00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:33.000
You know. That's that's you know, online and working and recording their every

305
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:08.359
company, now, you know.
Yeah, how's the coffee man? Trigger

306
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:11.359
m M. I know? Is
this coffee is delicious? I don't give

307
00:22:11.400 --> 00:22:17.839
a ship, right, Yeah?
Yeah, I'd like to get another bag

308
00:22:17.839 --> 00:22:21.920
of that from you this year,
buddy. I want to be bringing so

309
00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:27.240
to the hell mentioned awesome. Yeah, I need to get a bag drink

310
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:33.200
coffee, Frank, I will distribute
to people who appreciate good coffee. He

311
00:22:34.240 --> 00:22:40.599
he's a dealer, Frank. It
might it might change your mind about coffee.

312
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.119
Mm hmm. You know, I
had I had coffee for the first

313
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:51.759
time in a long time at the
Overland uh More Expo, and it solidified

314
00:22:51.799 --> 00:22:57.039
my hate and coffee again. There
was some really bad coffee there, you

315
00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:02.319
know, coffee. Coffee is like
beer. Yeah, you can call mill

316
00:23:02.359 --> 00:23:04.799
Or light and Bud light beer,
but is it really or you could have

317
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:10.119
a really good beer. So there's
a there's a very long sliding scale of

318
00:23:10.880 --> 00:23:14.119
traffee. I would agree. I
would agree there's a lot of things that

319
00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:18.480
are called coffee. There's a lot
of things that are probably called coffee that

320
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.039
probably shouldn't be called called coffee.
But there was some stuff that and Rob

321
00:23:23.480 --> 00:23:27.720
Rob in the chat can back me
up. We had some some coffee there.

322
00:23:27.799 --> 00:23:30.759
I don't know who was made by, but man, it was disgusting

323
00:23:32.039 --> 00:23:36.240
that some of the craft coffee from
the Yeah it was it was somebody.

324
00:23:36.279 --> 00:23:40.000
It was somebody. Is that is
that stuff that Rob brought the peach coffee?

325
00:23:40.440 --> 00:23:45.759
No, it was, uh it
was it was right beside uh cbe

326
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.559
Adventure supply the coffee maker. Oh
yes, okay, Oh so you you

327
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.799
didn't like that? He had five
or six or seven flavors of coffee out

328
00:23:56.799 --> 00:24:00.839
there, and the one I tried
I thought was pretty good. Yeah.

329
00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:04.559
I didn't have flavorings for coffee.
I mean, coffee is coffee, and

330
00:24:06.039 --> 00:24:11.079
it was you know, it's like
it's like adding flavoring to whiskey. Why

331
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:12.559
would you do that. It's whiskey. Right. Well, but here's the

332
00:24:12.599 --> 00:24:15.359
thing. Okay, so I have
some coffee. I've drank it all now.

333
00:24:15.599 --> 00:24:18.519
I was actually just talking to my
wife about this because there's a there's

334
00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.759
a festival in town in Grapevine this
weekend or next weekend, same time.

335
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:26.200
I'll be at him mentioned But the
last festival that was in town, I

336
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:32.960
bought a coffee bag of coffee beans
from this company. It was Tennessee Whiskey

337
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:41.720
Coffee, and they soaked the beans
in whiskey for like for like several months

338
00:24:41.759 --> 00:24:45.960
before they roasted. So that's different, that's but that's but that's that's flavored,

339
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:48.799
right, I mean it's whiskey.
And that was really that was That

340
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:52.359
was good man, I'm telling you
about. That was good stuff. That's

341
00:24:52.400 --> 00:25:00.680
that's a different story, right,
Artificial flavorings that yeah, not official.

342
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:03.920
But Tim, Tim exactly knows exactly
what I'm talking about. Okay. You

343
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:07.720
know, if you're saying peach coffee, I'm saying, no, that's pissed

344
00:25:07.799 --> 00:25:11.359
water with you know, you know, peach flavory. Well there was.

345
00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.440
Okay, so peach cock. Okay, so let me explain, Rob can

346
00:25:15.839 --> 00:25:22.519
It's it wasn't peach coffee. It
was ethio. It was an Ethiopian coffee

347
00:25:22.160 --> 00:25:26.400
blend with peaches or something I don't
remember. It wasn't just like coffee with

348
00:25:26.440 --> 00:25:33.440
peach flavoring added. This was something
done more special than that that coffee.

349
00:25:33.440 --> 00:25:41.039
That's but no, I don't think
it was that. There's there's there's some

350
00:25:41.200 --> 00:25:44.559
kind of there's some kind of coffee
that I don't know. I'm going to

351
00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:47.680
say it wrong if I say it. So, I wish Rob would join

352
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:53.519
the chat robin to something like that. Yeah, I don't know, but

353
00:25:55.799 --> 00:25:57.880
uh something like that. So what's
up is? Oh, how are you

354
00:25:57.920 --> 00:26:02.519
tonight? Man? Almost man?
Just hanging out with everybody? I had

355
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:07.400
fun on Kyle's stream playing cahoots and
uh so just kind of I didn't.

356
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:11.119
I didn't want listen. I didn't
want you to think I'm not being neighborly

357
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.240
or friendly. If if if I'm
holding a spot for guys who are going

358
00:26:15.319 --> 00:26:19.119
to Handvention, please kick me off. They should be on the stream.

359
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.440
We don't. We're not. We're
not like the hand Raider clubhouse. We

360
00:26:22.480 --> 00:26:26.640
don't use stream yard that limits you
to ten. We have a professional account

361
00:26:26.680 --> 00:26:29.640
of it here I can have one
hundred people on this Zoom account. Baby,

362
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:34.119
you're but see just because you are
the number one rated, part of

363
00:26:34.119 --> 00:26:37.799
that number one rated group, we're
part of the unrated. The unrated.

364
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.039
Well, hey, I think people
like you because you're unrated, buddy,

365
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:48.079
don't give up that title. I
want to tell a story regarding a book

366
00:26:48.119 --> 00:26:52.559
club. But it was a magazine
group that I was in and my late

367
00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.799
But I don't know if I could
say it here. I was thinking when

368
00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:57.599
I was getting my I was getting
my cigar to come out here, I'm

369
00:26:57.640 --> 00:27:00.839
like, it's Almo. If I
could say, because I don't want to

370
00:27:00.920 --> 00:27:03.359
ruin it, is it. We're
not going to make fun of you if

371
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:06.839
you're if you just tell us all
that you were reading Better Homes and Gardens

372
00:27:06.880 --> 00:27:12.680
magazine. No, yeah, yeah, let me think about it. And

373
00:27:12.759 --> 00:27:18.799
if the show has any low points
and we need to, I'll I'll tell

374
00:27:18.839 --> 00:27:21.599
the story. If not, I
I'm here. I'm here just to hang

375
00:27:21.640 --> 00:27:23.240
out with you guys and have a
good time. So all right, buddy,

376
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.000
thanks for being here. We got
to get you down to Ohio one

377
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:32.119
of these days. Done, Ohio, So listen. I think Huntsville is

378
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:37.440
gonna be my first choice. Okay, this year then uh no, Okay,

379
00:27:37.599 --> 00:27:41.000
probably in two to three years,
because that's once again, that's the

380
00:27:41.079 --> 00:27:45.000
week I got to bring one of
my kids up to school. And then

381
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.519
next the following year it's gonna be
be dropping two kids off, maybe at

382
00:27:48.519 --> 00:27:53.640
the same school, but it's that
same weekend. As as Huntsville. I

383
00:27:53.799 --> 00:27:59.559
definitely want to go out to Ohio
and then I think I want to and

384
00:28:00.519 --> 00:28:07.400
I'm not jumping with you. No, no, So I I have to

385
00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:12.839
step in here, brother, are
we not? Are we not saying that

386
00:28:12.920 --> 00:28:18.640
when they turn eighteen their adults?
Is that what you're saying? Because if

387
00:28:18.680 --> 00:28:26.400
you have to take them to school, that means they're still kindergarteners, right

388
00:28:29.160 --> 00:28:36.440
like the Beverly Hill Building. Yeah, that's that they can do that,

389
00:28:36.640 --> 00:28:40.799
you know, you know, once
you hit a team, get out of

390
00:28:40.839 --> 00:28:45.559
my house. I'm gonna go have
fun. Don I'm thinking, what what

391
00:28:45.640 --> 00:28:48.240
you need to do with that conflict
on the weekend is have your kids go

392
00:28:48.279 --> 00:28:56.119
to the University of Alabama in Huntsville
and you wrap it all in one shot.

393
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:00.920
Yeah, uh huh. Wow.
It's a good idea. See,

394
00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:06.119
this is where some of the greatest
ideas come from. Happy hours that we

395
00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:10.200
know that. Yeah, that's why
we do this. That's why we do

396
00:29:10.240 --> 00:29:12.519
this is to come up with good
ideas. I think I want to do

397
00:29:12.640 --> 00:29:18.720
an overland show. There's something I
want, There's something about it. I

398
00:29:18.880 --> 00:29:26.000
I I just I need to find
other ways of spending my money. What

399
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.359
little money we're going to this place
to go to more this year? We're

400
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:34.440
good? Okay, Well put more
on your calendar for next year. Seriously,

401
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:45.119
and you're going to Missouri. Missouris
far from Kyle's. How far three

402
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:52.440
hours? Can I stay at your
house? Look at the look? But

403
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:59.440
I told him he could stay in
my house. No, fly fly into

404
00:29:59.480 --> 00:30:02.960
it, Saint Louis. I'll pick
you up and we'll go down to More.

405
00:30:03.359 --> 00:30:06.279
You'll have to use the couch though, because Pixie gets the spare bedroom.

406
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:10.599
Hey, hey, I got I
had to sleep on the couch at

407
00:30:10.640 --> 00:30:15.680
Don's house. So that's not a
problem. You were given choices, you

408
00:30:15.680 --> 00:30:21.119
know what. No, No,
I I sleep perfectly well on the couch.

409
00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:25.000
Kyle had his Kyle had his night
gown and his and his makeup bag

410
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:26.920
that he had to take into the
room, so he had to be by

411
00:30:26.000 --> 00:30:34.720
himself. But I bet you did. Yeah, face yeah, yeah,

412
00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:41.960
yeah, cucumbers, yeah right,
yeah, the T zone right I had.

413
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:47.039
There was asage going in there too. I didn't miss that. I

414
00:30:47.480 --> 00:30:52.079
purposely avoided that. But no,
yeah, uh More Expo next April.

415
00:30:53.880 --> 00:30:57.039
Well, I've been for three years. So the first year Kyle and I

416
00:30:57.079 --> 00:31:00.359
went, I said, hey,
Kyle, this is and I'm thinking,

417
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:03.200
you know, he doesn't live in
Texas. Everything in every other state is

418
00:31:03.200 --> 00:31:07.359
only ten minutes away from everything.
So I thought that Kyle lived closer to

419
00:31:07.359 --> 00:31:10.920
Springfield than he does. But he's
it's six hours for me and it's three

420
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:15.000
hours for him, and he lives
in Missouri, so go figure. But

421
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:18.440
but so Kyle met me there the
first year, he stayed in a hotel.

422
00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:22.039
Last year he and Shane and I
camp together, and this and uh

423
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.880
in twenty twenty three. In twenty
twenty four, there was like seven of

424
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:30.559
us. Tim was there, Rob
was there, Kyle, Shane didn't make

425
00:31:30.599 --> 00:31:33.079
it. Frank was there for the
first time. So we want to get

426
00:31:33.119 --> 00:31:37.799
a bigger group next year. We
are going to ham Radio invade the More

427
00:31:37.799 --> 00:31:40.519
Expo for the next and I've already
been talking to Jason at Giga Parts.

428
00:31:40.519 --> 00:31:41.720
I was hoping he'd be on tonight. I was like, dude, you

429
00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.640
freaking have to go to more Expo
next year, so I'm trying to get

430
00:31:45.680 --> 00:31:48.759
them to go as well. Steve
from Alpha Antenna's was there this year,

431
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:53.480
having him there, show up from
Giga Parts that more he went the year

432
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:57.640
prior because he said he said that
the because they just opened that new store

433
00:31:57.640 --> 00:32:02.839
in Huntsville and that took up all
the resources for that time of year,

434
00:32:02.880 --> 00:32:07.279
I guess, so they had to
they had to figure out the store opening

435
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:14.359
and then start making plans for Dayton. Was since I'm here and Callas over

436
00:32:14.359 --> 00:32:21.000
there, now's a bad guy,
Cals, a bad influence, a terrible

437
00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:25.119
human being, don't you know.
Uh, you know, hikers three hours

438
00:32:25.119 --> 00:32:29.279
from my house. And I'm of
like hetering on the edge of putting a

439
00:32:29.359 --> 00:32:36.119
depositous And I've been good to more
only because it's opening week and we're skoud

440
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:40.599

441
00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:47.880
I'm considering a hiker trailer. I
have now started a movement. Yeah yeah,

442
00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:52.640
yeah, yeah, yeah, I
have. You know, here's the

443
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:59.920
thing, like I have ulterior motives, but yeah, we know your stand

444
00:33:00.279 --> 00:33:04.440
we know how anal you are about
things right. We know how right,

445
00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:07.400
we know where you are right,
and when you choose something, that means

446
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:10.640
you've done the research. For us, we don't have to worry about the

447
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.240
naity greedy BF. So what Here's
something I learned about Kyle on this trip.

448
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:24.119
Kyle has more money than time.
Yes, yess yeah, you know.

449
00:33:25.200 --> 00:33:29.000
No, there's a story behind that. So yeah, Kyle, tell

450
00:33:29.079 --> 00:33:32.279
that story about it because I can
give you a one way account. You

451
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:38.839
can just cause it what you have
to remind me what story. When you

452
00:33:38.839 --> 00:33:43.960
were ordering your hiker trailer and they
were asking you about all the accessories,

453
00:33:44.319 --> 00:33:46.240
yea, your answer to what you're
there, they were like, well,

454
00:33:46.279 --> 00:33:50.200
this costs this much, and you're
yeah, put that on there. This

455
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:52.319
costs this much. Yeah, put
that on there. He's like, I

456
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:53.559
have more money than time. Put
that on. Add that to that,

457
00:33:53.880 --> 00:34:00.640
Like I got everything for for a
mid range Excel by ten. They're like

458
00:34:01.119 --> 00:34:07.119
they literally they have this this order
seat and and every single cell was a

459
00:34:07.199 --> 00:34:10.960
one, and they let they literally
looked at this order seat and they're just

460
00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:15.480
like, I don't think anybody has
filled the number of ones out as much

461
00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:16.920
as you have. And I'm like, I have more money than time.

462
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:22.280
Sorry, when you when you order
like a kit, it out KX too,

463
00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:27.679
like it's still you know they started
right right right right totally actually get

464
00:34:27.719 --> 00:34:36.880
one well bucks three thousand dollars later. Yeah, I just figured, you

465
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.199
know what, it's easier for me
to to get it now and have them

466
00:34:40.199 --> 00:34:45.880
put it in then too for me
to put it in later. Because if

467
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:49.840
I I know myself, if I
think that I'm going to put all these

468
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:52.039
things in that require time and effort, I'll never get to it. I'll

469
00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:59.840
never do it. Yeah, I
uh doing the eclipse. My niece lives

470
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:04.480
there in that same town, okay, in Columbus, Indiana, and I

471
00:35:04.559 --> 00:35:07.280
made a point of making an appointment
for the day after the eclipse, and

472
00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.639
I went there and I looked at
things, and I was ready to just

473
00:35:13.320 --> 00:35:19.039
write a check. Right. And
the thing is, things worked out where

474
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.760
my wife had to take care of
my nephew for that timeframe so she couldn't

475
00:35:23.800 --> 00:35:30.960
come along. And legitimately, after
reason, I'm thinking about getting a trailer

476
00:35:31.119 --> 00:35:35.559
so she can go places with me. And if she doesn't, you know,

477
00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:37.719
if she doesn't get in this thing, if she doesn't look at it,

478
00:35:37.320 --> 00:35:39.960
verify that. Yeah, this is
something I can totally get behind.

479
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:45.760
There's no sense in me getting it
otherwise it'd be my driveway already. Because

480
00:35:45.760 --> 00:35:50.800
they had they had a ten out
of five to ten decked out with a

481
00:35:50.840 --> 00:35:53.599
bunch of stuff that I don't need. But I said, hey, can

482
00:35:53.639 --> 00:35:55.960
you take this all? If I
decided, like if I go back to

483
00:35:57.000 --> 00:35:59.840
my house right now, I say
I want that one, but I don't

484
00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:00.679
need this, this, and this? Can you take that off? And

485
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:02.599
they go, yeah, show no
problem, those are options a we can

486
00:36:02.679 --> 00:36:07.360
easily take up. They had the
roof deck, the roof tent, they

487
00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:12.719
had what else did they have on
it? Basically they had like five thousand

488
00:36:12.800 --> 00:36:15.039
dollars worth of accessories that I didn't
want. They're like, yeah, we

489
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.400
can totally do that, and you
know, give us a day and we

490
00:36:17.440 --> 00:36:22.239
can have it ready for you.
I'm like, great, I kind of

491
00:36:22.280 --> 00:36:27.760
I kind of figure. I associate
me buying my hiker trailer to people in

492
00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:31.119
their midlife crisis when they buy a
Harley. You know, that's this is

493
00:36:31.159 --> 00:36:35.320
my Harley. All right, Yes, I've decided, you know what,

494
00:36:35.480 --> 00:36:37.079
I wanted to do this, and
I wanted to do this for a while

495
00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:40.800
actually ever since that I got back
from more Expo in twenty twenty two,

496
00:36:43.039 --> 00:36:45.239
or maybe it was twenty three.
Yeah, I was twenty three, twenty

497
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:47.559
three, yeah, twenty three,
and I was like, you know,

498
00:36:49.800 --> 00:36:53.920
I'm not taking my money with me, so I might as well spend it

499
00:36:53.960 --> 00:36:59.480
now. Well, two things I
thought of when when you guys were talking

500
00:36:59.559 --> 00:37:04.559
number one and Okay, First of
all, number one, I want I'm

501
00:37:04.599 --> 00:37:07.920
gonna let Rob talk here in a
minute, because he did some satellite activations

502
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:10.519
from more Expo, which we got
some looks for that, and that's exactly

503
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.440
what I wanted to do. But
take that to the next level. We

504
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.440
need to get Carlos to jump into
more Expo while we're working him on the

505
00:37:20.519 --> 00:37:23.239
yaggy on the yaggy and have people
walk by and say, who are you

506
00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:25.679
talk to? We're talking to that
guy right there in the sky, you

507
00:37:25.679 --> 00:37:35.119
see him. I have no idea. I wouldn't think. Yeah, isn't

508
00:37:35.119 --> 00:37:38.559
it wherever you land? Yeah,
but you know you need to have a

509
00:37:38.599 --> 00:37:43.639
pilot to drop you over the Yeah. Yeah, well just you know,

510
00:37:44.239 --> 00:37:52.599
pull one of them gps every phone. Oh, there's uh crazy. There's

511
00:37:52.719 --> 00:37:58.960
Ozark Skyline Center in Springfield, Missouri. Carlos which is which is how far

512
00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.960
from I don't know. Who knows? Springfield is not a very big town.

513
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.960
I mean it is it is it? It's a why, it's a

514
00:38:06.960 --> 00:38:09.280
way. It's probably forty five minutes
from Springfield. Misers, Oh is it

515
00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:13.519
that farm? Yeah, it's twenty
five minutes. It's not much for forty

516
00:38:13.760 --> 00:38:21.519
forty forty five minutes means what twenty
miles of air flight? And I can

517
00:38:21.559 --> 00:38:24.679
feed the drop zone. I can
fill out the FAA forms and have them

518
00:38:24.719 --> 00:38:30.000
filed, and as long as if
the grounds give me permission, the fa

519
00:38:30.079 --> 00:38:32.400
will let me do it. And
I just paid a drop soone they'd take

520
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.440
me offline and I land. As
long as somebody takes me back to go

521
00:38:36.440 --> 00:38:39.800
get my car, I'm good to
go. Yeah, it's it's north northwest

522
00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:44.599
of Springfield, says forty five minutes
by by car. But yeah, Carlos,

523
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:49.320
you're probably right. It's twenty probably
twenty miles as the crow files see.

524
00:38:49.679 --> 00:38:52.199
Seeing that. Now we're talking fellas. Now now we're talking yeah,

525
00:38:52.360 --> 00:38:55.599
yeah, we wanna, we wanna. We want to show overlanding people how

526
00:38:55.639 --> 00:39:00.400
you can jump out of an airplane
with the radio and we can dan on

527
00:39:00.440 --> 00:39:02.639
the ground the way that sane people
do and talk to the guy who's just

528
00:39:02.760 --> 00:39:08.159
jumped out of an airplane. So
that'd be great. Do it on.

529
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:14.920
We should totally do that. We
should absolutely do that. Have Midland sponsor,

530
00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:20.519
No, no, no, no, we don't want to be a

531
00:39:20.519 --> 00:39:27.880
after what we were hearing Midland tell
patrons at the show that was bead That

532
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:32.719
was that was that I believed has
some gm rs. Yeah yeah, we

533
00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:37.000
get bridge comb Yeah yeah, that
was so bad. Yeah, but what

534
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:39.840
were they saying? You gotta tell
us. I didn't hear it. I

535
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:45.159
heard Rob heard it. So if
Rob wants to tell you what a great

536
00:39:45.400 --> 00:39:52.800
welcome Rob, Well, hello you, I'm good, good, I'm tired

537
00:39:52.800 --> 00:39:57.960
tonight I was being really lazy.
But uh I heard you guys butchering the

538
00:39:58.360 --> 00:40:07.280
coffee discision. Yeah, the peach, Hey lucky there. Well, I

539
00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:12.199
heard you were threatening to pull it
off your laptop, So I started ditching

540
00:40:12.320 --> 00:40:16.360
questions during the one round of trivia
tonight. Don't worry. It won't be

541
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:22.480
replaced with a tank radio sticker.
It totally needs a tank radio sticker.

542
00:40:22.519 --> 00:40:24.719
Come on now, all right,
but yeah, so I heard well,

543
00:40:24.960 --> 00:40:30.559
first of all, to address the
middle an issue without getting you know,

544
00:40:31.239 --> 00:40:36.920
too too far down hole. We
don't want to go. Let's say they

545
00:40:36.960 --> 00:40:44.719
were they were very liberal in the
capabilities of their radios, and we can

546
00:40:44.760 --> 00:40:49.360
talk more about that offline. Yeah, yes, but yeah, but I

547
00:40:49.400 --> 00:40:52.400
had to get on here and and
try to straighten out some of this coffee

548
00:40:52.440 --> 00:40:57.960
shenanigans that I heard going on.
Okay, all right, So Carlos,

549
00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:02.840
this peach coffee was fermented coffee,
so you know, I mean, you

550
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:09.159
know, part of the processing.
So it did come out of fermenting.

551
00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:14.119
Is fermenting is normal for coffee,
You got it. You have to ferment

552
00:41:14.199 --> 00:41:19.960
it to get the fruit off the
bean or off the seed if you will.

553
00:41:21.119 --> 00:41:23.880
You can go to an extreme right, and there's different ways that you

554
00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:30.159
can do fermenting, and so that's
how they develop in this case a peach

555
00:41:30.000 --> 00:41:37.480
note to the coffee flavor. And
so it wasn't peach flavored, so much

556
00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:45.039
was fermented with the intent of developing
the peach note or hint of it in

557
00:41:45.079 --> 00:41:49.559
the fermentation. Absolutely, now that
I can totally get behind and understand.

558
00:41:49.920 --> 00:41:52.800
Yeah, now it was. But
the thing is, in order for that

559
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:55.679
to taste right, you have to
brew it at the right temperature and at

560
00:41:55.679 --> 00:42:01.559
the right density to get the flavor
out. Well, these guys know what

561
00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:07.119
they're doing. Uh, this is
uh, this is a a roaster down

562
00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:15.199
in central Florida. So Todd had
turned me on to them. Whenever I

563
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:22.119
was down there for Hamcshion, he
shared a bag of coffee with me from

564
00:42:22.519 --> 00:42:28.000
his favorite brewer or roaster, and
then I returned the favor. And then

565
00:42:28.199 --> 00:42:30.719
a few weeks later I got another
bag of coffee in the mail. I'm

566
00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:34.119
okay, this is pretty good.
I like the way this is turning out.

567
00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:40.960
But it was. It was called
Bowser's Dream and uh it you know,

568
00:42:42.440 --> 00:42:49.960
a play on some Nintendo stuff there. But you know, it was

569
00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:53.119
good. That's it. That's it. So it was quite good. It

570
00:42:53.159 --> 00:42:58.960
was well done, well done.
So I can send you, uh you

571
00:42:59.000 --> 00:43:02.400
know who roasted it, Carlos,
if you're interested in checking it out.

572
00:43:02.800 --> 00:43:06.800
So it was tasty. I remember
tasting it thinking, you know, that

573
00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:09.559
was I'm not a big peach fan, but I thought that. Uh,

574
00:43:10.079 --> 00:43:13.920
I thought it was pretty good.
So yeah, that's right. I was

575
00:43:13.960 --> 00:43:16.480
forgetting the fermenting I had forgot to
mention from it. Yeah, I knew

576
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:20.840
it wasn't peach flavored. It wasn't
like a peach flavoring it. But the

577
00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:24.039
fermenting is what I forgot about.
So yeah, it was good. Good

578
00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:30.199
cool. Robert, you know,
are you going to Dayton, Rob Yes,

579
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:32.000
sir, I'll be there on Wednesday, okay, you know for those

580
00:43:32.039 --> 00:43:37.119
of for those of those oh those
those sting of the fret House, I

581
00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:42.440
got you covered. The frat house
will have coffee. Cool, fantastic.

582
00:43:44.119 --> 00:43:47.280
When are we leaving, Jason?
I think we're gonna leave Monday night,

583
00:43:49.280 --> 00:43:53.840
which is what we did last year. We left Monday evening ish and we'll

584
00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:59.119
drive for five or six hours something
like that. Yeah. I couldn't remember

585
00:43:59.119 --> 00:44:01.920
if it was Monday or two days. I was thinking. I was thinking

586
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:05.239
we left Tuesday morning. But Emily
told me, she goes, no,

587
00:44:05.280 --> 00:44:07.320
you left money now you don't remember. And I'm like, you know what

588
00:44:07.400 --> 00:44:09.400
now that you say that, I
think I do. So. Yeah,

589
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:16.440
because we stopped somewhere in Oklahoma because
of my poor decision, I'm like,

590
00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:20.760
hey, let's just drive a few
hours. We'll stop, yeah, and

591
00:44:20.760 --> 00:44:23.159
then we'll just drive, you know, the long we'll take the long drive

592
00:44:23.199 --> 00:44:27.280
tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, that
sucked. We're not doing that. We're

593
00:44:27.320 --> 00:44:30.880
not doing that again. No,
it's just something you really want to leave

594
00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:35.119
Monday midday, no, so that
you can you know, then it's you

595
00:44:35.159 --> 00:44:42.320
know, short CIDs. It's a
sixteen hour drive with no stops and no

596
00:44:42.599 --> 00:44:45.719
RV trailer. So it took us. I think it took us like eighteen

597
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:51.639
to nineteen hours last year, all
said and done something like that. We

598
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:54.000
can leave earlier in the day.
I mean I can drive up Monday morning

599
00:44:54.039 --> 00:44:59.840
and be there by how many eleven
or twelve? It's about six it's sixteen

600
00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:02.880
because if you if I put in
Google Maps from grape Vine, Texas to

601
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:06.719
Xenia, Ohio, right now,
it says it's like sixteen hours in like

602
00:45:06.920 --> 00:45:10.440
twenty minutes or something like that.
So okay, yes, because it for

603
00:45:10.519 --> 00:45:14.159
you, it's like six hours to
get to Springfield. For me, it

604
00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:16.400
was six hours to get to Springfield, and I'm like two hours away from

605
00:45:17.280 --> 00:45:21.960
Dayton. Yeah. Oh well you're
you're coming the opposite direction then yeah,

606
00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:27.760
yeah, yeah, it's about it's
about sixteen hours what again? And according

607
00:45:27.760 --> 00:45:30.880
to Google Maps, it's gonna take
us longer than that. So yeah,

608
00:45:30.960 --> 00:45:34.599
Mike, I mean you come up
Monday. I gotta I've got two or

609
00:45:34.599 --> 00:45:37.599
three things I got to do on
Monday before I can leave, And one

610
00:45:37.599 --> 00:45:39.519
of those is I'm actually gonna I
was gonna go get the trailer that morning.

611
00:45:39.559 --> 00:45:45.079
I'm actually probably I'm gonna try to
go get it Sunday after Mother's Day

612
00:45:45.159 --> 00:45:47.440
lunch. I think I'm gonna try
to go get it Sunday. But we'll

613
00:45:47.440 --> 00:45:51.360
see. I gotta go get it
and bring it back and then pack it.

614
00:45:51.440 --> 00:45:55.159
Packing won't take very long at all, But we can leave earlier than

615
00:45:55.199 --> 00:45:59.920
that if we want to, because
yeah, I cause what we're gonna do

616
00:46:00.360 --> 00:46:02.280
is what we've done for the last
two years, which we want to get

617
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:07.119
there, and we'll probably I think
we got there a semi I don't remember

618
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:08.559
if it was dark or not when
we got there. It wasn't quite dark,

619
00:46:08.599 --> 00:46:12.360
it was I think that's what I
was thinking. That's what I was

620
00:46:12.360 --> 00:46:15.000
thinking. Okay, So we got
there and set up camp and whatnot,

621
00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:17.760
and then I did a live stream
from the camp. It was definitely dark

622
00:46:17.800 --> 00:46:22.000
by the time we were setting up
camp though. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

623
00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.840
I remember that. So so we're
gonna do do a live stream from

624
00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:29.800
the camp site on Wednesday on my
noontime live stream that I often do on

625
00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:31.280
Wednesdays. We've done that last two
years, so I'm going to do that

626
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:35.800
again this year because that's it's a
good, good way to kind of start

627
00:46:35.800 --> 00:46:42.719
the weekend. And then you know
what, I have nothing planned extra curricular

628
00:46:43.000 --> 00:46:46.239
for this year other than the Troll
Pub, which I think is is that

629
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:51.039
Friday, Kyle, the Troll Pub
Saturday. It's Saturday, Okay, okay,

630
00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:52.519
okay. I couldn't remember if it's
Friday or Saturday. So that's the

631
00:46:52.559 --> 00:46:57.800
only thing I have planned. We
on on Sunday. When we were driving

632
00:46:57.840 --> 00:47:01.599
back last year, Yep, we
had a conversation because I think like Wednesday,

633
00:47:01.599 --> 00:47:04.960
we got there, we did the
thing, and then Thursday when we

634
00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:07.079
woke up, we're kind of just
like, let's do nothing, you know,

635
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.920
like let's just chill whatever. Yep, and we had the conversation that

636
00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:16.920
we should go actually do something like
a PODA or go to that four days

637
00:47:16.920 --> 00:47:22.280
in May. Not that, but
the Voice of America Museum or the Voice

638
00:47:22.280 --> 00:47:25.519
of America. Yeah, and the
Air Force Museum. The Air Force Museum,

639
00:47:25.559 --> 00:47:28.360
like we should go do I don't
know if we'll have time to do

640
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:31.960
all of that, but we should
pick one of the house. The museum.

641
00:47:35.280 --> 00:47:39.199
The Air Force of the Museum is
freaking amazing. I've seen videos of

642
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:44.039
them both and they both look like
awesome things. The Air Force Museum.

643
00:47:44.280 --> 00:47:46.480
Literally, I want to go up
one year and I just want to take

644
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:51.800
all of Sunday and go to the
Air Force Museum all of Sunday, not

645
00:47:52.000 --> 00:47:58.360
like just a couple of hours all
day Sunday. Hmm, I would be

646
00:47:58.679 --> 00:48:02.079
I don't let you cover the Air
Museum in like fifty percent, right,

647
00:48:02.440 --> 00:48:08.400
Yeah, it's an enormous facility.
Yeah, I want to get I want

648
00:48:08.440 --> 00:48:14.360
to do. I want to do. I want to participate in Four Days

649
00:48:14.360 --> 00:48:17.360
in May more this year because I
was there for like an hour last year.

650
00:48:19.039 --> 00:48:22.639
I didn't catch any of the presentations
and we had the Flex Radio dinner

651
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:24.840
on Thursday night. I'm not going
to that this year, just because I

652
00:48:24.880 --> 00:48:29.719
wanted to. I wanted a free
and clear year with no with with no

653
00:48:29.840 --> 00:48:32.639
extra curriculars filled up, filling up
my schedule. So I'd like to go

654
00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:37.360
to Four Days in May kind of
maybe pop in and out. We could

655
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:40.159
go to the Air Force Museum.
That's totally fine. If people are there,

656
00:48:40.960 --> 00:48:45.280
then we can get a group to
go do something. And I wouldn't

657
00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.039
mind going to I think we did. We did a podahlat didn't we go

658
00:48:47.119 --> 00:48:52.960
meet James for a poda at some
point last year? I think we did

659
00:48:52.960 --> 00:48:55.119
that. That might have been two
years ago. I have done a PODA

660
00:48:55.280 --> 00:49:00.440
in Ohio during the weekend of ham
Mention before. Maybe that was two years

661
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:07.119
ago, but we have done the
years ago. Because you guys went to

662
00:49:07.320 --> 00:49:08.760
one park and I thought it was
a different park and I ended up with

663
00:49:08.760 --> 00:49:13.119
a different park. I'm like,
there's no way in this world that everybody's

664
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.599
gonna fit in here. And and
I attempted to activate and got like three

665
00:49:15.679 --> 00:49:21.639
contacts at the park. Parker was
just a parking lot and there was trails

666
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:24.800
that went off just a single park. Yeah, yes, yeah, that's

667
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:29.599
and you know I set up my
infant there and it was just it was

668
00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:34.119
sunk in the middle of a valley
and like the propagation from there was terrible.

669
00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:39.199
Which there's two troll pubs showing up
in the Google Maps, ones on

670
00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:45.559
Wheelhouse and the other ones under the
bridge Wheelhouse not under the bridge. Yeah,

671
00:49:45.559 --> 00:49:51.320
there's two troll pubs in Dayton.
Now, news to me that under

672
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:58.119
the bridge things sounds like a red
hot chili pepper, A real troll pub,

673
00:49:58.480 --> 00:50:01.320
a real Troll Pub. Yeah,
yeah, no, it's on Wheelhouse

674
00:50:02.079 --> 00:50:06.239
and we have we have the we
have the room reserved again, Kyle,

675
00:50:06.320 --> 00:50:07.920
is that correct. Yeah, well
we've got the side of the bar.

676
00:50:08.159 --> 00:50:10.920
Yeah, yeah, the studio and
the patio. Yeah, that's like a

677
00:50:10.960 --> 00:50:19.760
five minute from my good yeah.
Good. So so walk that night,

678
00:50:20.119 --> 00:50:23.239
walk into the Troll Pub and then
go to your and then we are around

679
00:50:23.280 --> 00:50:28.360
the pub. We've got half of
the bar reserved, actually the you know,

680
00:50:28.440 --> 00:50:31.920
half of the bar. And they
say we have our own bartender,

681
00:50:32.000 --> 00:50:37.039
but you know, it's just the
bartenders come and go right, and then

682
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:42.840
it spills out into the patio area
and you can order food. They got

683
00:50:42.960 --> 00:50:45.000
good food, they got good beer. You know. A bunch of us

684
00:50:45.039 --> 00:50:49.280
put dollars down. You know,
since I have more time, I have

685
00:50:49.320 --> 00:50:52.239
more money at the time. You
heard it here, I'll put it here.

686
00:50:52.440 --> 00:50:57.320
I'll put some dollars down so everybody
can drink some free drink some beer

687
00:50:57.360 --> 00:51:01.559
for you know, so I usually
appreciate it. In years past, I

688
00:51:01.599 --> 00:51:07.320
have I have they require you to
put a deposit down. Not no more,

689
00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:10.679
they know they did. Okay,
well, it's never been a it's

690
00:51:10.960 --> 00:51:15.360
it's never been a problem. The
deposit only really gets applied if we don't

691
00:51:15.400 --> 00:51:27.360
spend that much in whatever, be
in fifty dollars. Yeah, So the

692
00:51:27.400 --> 00:51:30.199
first two years ago, the first
time we went to the troll pub,

693
00:51:30.239 --> 00:51:31.960
I said, I put it,
and I don't even think they charged my

694
00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:35.679
credit card. I gave a credit
card number for a two hundred fifty dollars

695
00:51:35.719 --> 00:51:37.559
deposit and I don't think they ever
actually charged it. So when we got

696
00:51:37.599 --> 00:51:42.639
there, I'm like, hey,
I just want to go ahead and uh,

697
00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:45.639
give the first two hundred and fifty
dollars. This is our group over

698
00:51:45.719 --> 00:51:49.719
here, so everything that these guys
order, when it reaches two fifty,

699
00:51:49.840 --> 00:51:52.039
let me know and I'll cut it
off and then everybody else can pay for

700
00:51:52.079 --> 00:51:55.239
their own stuff. And then Josh
came in and did some and I think,

701
00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:59.880
uh, two or three other people
as well. I gave you may

702
00:52:00.079 --> 00:52:02.800
out. Yeah, Kyle did too, so I so I think that year,

703
00:52:02.880 --> 00:52:06.440
this was two years ago. That
year, we had been there for

704
00:52:06.559 --> 00:52:08.840
like twenty minutes and they come back
to me. They're like, all right,

705
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:12.280
dude, you're a two fifty.
Like, all right, man,

706
00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:15.519
put it to three hundred. It's
fine. So I did a little bit

707
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:17.639
more and I'm like and I heard
one of the one of the guys that

708
00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:22.679
was Josh Discord admin. We were
sitting around the campsite on Sunday and he's

709
00:52:22.719 --> 00:52:27.440
like, dude, I was talking
to that we were there at that last

710
00:52:27.440 --> 00:52:30.159
call that night and he said he
said, I was talking to the guy.

711
00:52:30.199 --> 00:52:32.079
He goes, we dropped about thirty
five hundred bucks into that place that

712
00:52:32.239 --> 00:52:36.960
I do. I'm like, only
wrap yeah, yeah, yeah, they

713
00:52:37.000 --> 00:52:39.199
love us. Yeah. Whenever I
reserved it, I said, hey,

714
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:45.760
I want to reserve the bar the
party area, and we were the ones

715
00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:51.519
last year that reserved it. This
weekend last year and it's Rachel and she

716
00:52:51.679 --> 00:52:53.679
emailed me back and said, okay, we have you down. And I

717
00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:57.239
said, do I have to pull
it? Put a deposit down, and

718
00:52:57.280 --> 00:53:06.679
she goes, We've got you covered. That is awesome. Yeah yeah yeah

719
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:13.599
yeah we may bro we have made
that make the troll pub. Yeah right,

720
00:53:14.480 --> 00:53:16.360
they know now, yeah, they
know as wow. Okay, so

721
00:53:16.480 --> 00:53:21.039
troll pub Saturday night. That's uh, that's that's the thing. You guys

722
00:53:21.039 --> 00:53:23.039
make, make plans for this.
Okay, good, good guess too,

723
00:53:23.119 --> 00:53:27.519
though. I mean it is great. Your selection great, great election.

724
00:53:27.960 --> 00:53:30.760
Yeah, great selection. They have
bartenders are great, like there are you

725
00:53:30.800 --> 00:53:35.239
don't have to dick. Now you
can sit out there on the deck and

726
00:53:35.280 --> 00:53:38.320
relax. So if you're going to
go to the troll Pub, you got

727
00:53:38.360 --> 00:53:42.840
to pay the parking fee. The
parking fee is minimal. It's like three

728
00:53:42.880 --> 00:53:45.760
dollars and fifty cents or four dollars. But do not do what I did

729
00:53:45.840 --> 00:53:49.880
and not pay the parking fee and
get a fifty dollars parking ticket. So

730
00:53:51.320 --> 00:53:54.599
you got to go to like the
ce serve keyos yes to find that machine

731
00:53:54.639 --> 00:54:00.039
and pay so insane paying I don't
remember paying that last year. Well you

732
00:54:00.079 --> 00:54:06.039
got by then because after after seven
pm on weekends all of the spaces in

733
00:54:06.079 --> 00:54:08.159
Saint Louis are free. So that's
what I assumed at Dayton. No,

734
00:54:08.320 --> 00:54:13.400
that's not the case. So if
you're going to park in the parking lot,

735
00:54:13.880 --> 00:54:15.639
yep, you got to pay the
fee. You got to pay the

736
00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:23.480
piper. Do you know if they
do you know, if they charge in

737
00:54:23.519 --> 00:54:27.880
the parking for the those of us
that are the sick, lame and lazy

738
00:54:27.920 --> 00:54:31.760
and have those blue placards. I
don't know, Craig. That's good because

739
00:54:31.760 --> 00:54:35.960
I know in California we don't have
to pay for any parking. If you

740
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:37.679
got the sick, lame and lazy
pla. Really yeah, but you're coming

741
00:54:37.719 --> 00:54:44.639
to the rest of America, bring
bring your passport when you enter the USA.

742
00:54:44.800 --> 00:54:52.880
Craig stand it does, Craig,
I, I would suspect no,

743
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:57.400
because so so the troll pub is
like right here, and then the parking

744
00:54:57.400 --> 00:55:00.320
lot is kind and there's their driveway
like right next to it, and parking

745
00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:02.039
lots kind of on the other side
of the driveway. I would bet you

746
00:55:02.199 --> 00:55:07.679
that there's some actual parking spaces in
front of the actual restaurant for handicap places.

747
00:55:08.119 --> 00:55:13.599
But the the the parking lot we're
talking about is kind of a little

748
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:16.599
bit sort of separated. It's not
but it's it's not absolutely right next door

749
00:55:16.599 --> 00:55:19.760
to behind it or something like that. It's all on the same street,

750
00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:22.440
but it's it's kind of offset to
the side there, And I think that's

751
00:55:22.440 --> 00:55:28.960
what where Kyle's talking about. But
yeah, I would suspect that there's some

752
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:34.400
some handicapped spaces close by to the
restaurant, but I've never looked, but

753
00:55:35.039 --> 00:55:44.039
I'm determined handicapped space is usually free
though outside of California, no idea here

754
00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:50.039
here in Indiana. If you are
a disabled vet and have a specific disabled

755
00:55:50.119 --> 00:55:54.199
vet handicap license. Well, vets
should never have to pay for parking,

756
00:55:54.760 --> 00:56:00.400
correct, I agree with you,
sir, Yeah, I would think that

757
00:56:00.599 --> 00:56:05.079
if you have, Yeah, I
would think I would. I would bring

758
00:56:05.119 --> 00:56:09.199
your four or five dollars for parking, just in case I have to bring

759
00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:20.079
the human wallet. Human wallet.
Nice, that's my comment controlling the purse

760
00:56:20.119 --> 00:56:24.280
string. Nice. I would think
they would be free, but you know,

761
00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:30.320
yeah, yeah, okay, anyway, troll pub Saturday. So the

762
00:56:31.480 --> 00:56:36.079
locations on that No, no,
no, there's only why you know,

763
00:56:36.400 --> 00:56:38.719
word on the street is third I
d people always have to pay, no

764
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:43.920
matter what. Yeah, okay,
well what about eight? What about forty?

765
00:56:45.800 --> 00:56:52.480
Is everyone here in the discord chat
which was so there's a discord chat

766
00:56:52.519 --> 00:56:59.199
on Josh's server called ham Bench dash
tubers. Yes, that's the same.

767
00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:05.079
If no, not the tubers one. It's not if you're in handvention dash

768
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:07.920
tubers, or if you're if you're
not in hand vention dash tubers, hit

769
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:12.840
me up and I'll get one of
the guys to see if they can add

770
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:16.480
you, because it's not the it
is, but it's not the same.

771
00:57:16.559 --> 00:57:22.840
Lock your parameters for the other chat. Yeah. So yeah, there's Carlos

772
00:57:22.880 --> 00:57:28.599
right there, So hamvention, ham
mention tubers, that's where we I mean,

773
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:31.639
the best way to communicate and I
was going to talk about meshchastic here

774
00:57:31.679 --> 00:57:35.480
in a minute. The best way
to communicate is with your freakin HT.

775
00:57:35.679 --> 00:57:38.280
This is a ham fest. Bring
your HT, okay, but that will

776
00:57:38.320 --> 00:57:43.960
be a lot of the times we
share drop pins and locations and whatnot in

777
00:57:44.039 --> 00:57:46.280
that in that room. So if
you're look, if you don't rig your

778
00:57:46.360 --> 00:57:51.320
HT, you have zero chance of
getting me perish and lobill right, keep

779
00:57:51.360 --> 00:58:02.039
it. Then you don't need Rob
who you can? You can always pull

780
00:58:02.079 --> 00:58:07.119
the Rob and irradiate me with fifty
one and an ELK. Who's bringing your

781
00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:13.519
your al Co antenna? Rob?
Jason? Other Jason? Yeah, oh

782
00:58:14.639 --> 00:58:16.559
yeah, yeah. Let's say you
can borrow mine if if you need it.

783
00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:22.599
But sounds like it got covered.
Yeah, okay. Would you believe

784
00:58:24.559 --> 00:58:30.039
a c K texted me the other
day after because when I did my DIGI

785
00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:34.800
rigged mod video on Wednesday, I
mentioned that I bought this new MacBook Air

786
00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:38.519
and he's like, dude, if
you don't want that crapopotamus anymore, I'll

787
00:58:38.519 --> 00:58:44.719
give you fifty bucks. Oh my
gosh, really what he loves, he

788
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:50.800
loves loading Linux on those. So, yeah, it's funny we have that.

789
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.960
I'll get rid of it. I
have another one. I have a

790
00:58:52.960 --> 00:58:54.400
brand new one still in the box
in the closet I bought too. I

791
00:58:54.440 --> 00:59:00.280
mean, everyone knows like tank crash
that hard drive, so I right,

792
00:59:00.480 --> 00:59:04.760
I don't know if everyone knows.
And it doesn't even have a hard drive

793
00:59:04.800 --> 00:59:10.880
in it. Nobody knows what he
did, but he was the last one

794
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:15.440
to use it. He's got an
electric person. I saw him shuffling,

795
00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:22.599
I shuffling, shuffling his feet with
wolf socks on carpet. I saw him

796
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:29.039
lies and slander all over the place. Wolf socks on carpet. Okay,

797
00:59:30.159 --> 00:59:34.679
good, you know does this ham
mention? Are they like ham cash?

798
00:59:34.840 --> 00:59:39.719
And we have an internet access that
we can Honestly, they are not as

799
00:59:39.800 --> 00:59:46.079
up to date as that. But
at the same time, I yeah,

800
00:59:46.199 --> 00:59:52.760
memory serves the internet there at the
facility is better indoors than it is in

801
00:59:52.840 --> 01:00:00.599
Orlando. So I don't remember ever
having an issue with running my life streams

802
01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:04.719
on at and T four five G
from him vention. I've done that the

803
01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:07.760
last two years so and I'm planning
to do it again this year. I

804
01:00:07.800 --> 01:00:14.239
don't. I don't think that we
got Wi Fi to him vention, but

805
01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:16.920
I don't remember needing it either.
Now I will have my starlink set up

806
01:00:16.960 --> 01:00:20.960
at the camp site, but that
won't. That won't. That's not very

807
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:22.960
far reaching. And you guys are
welcome to it to use it when we're

808
01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:27.760
there. But this is you won't
be able to walk through the buildings or

809
01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:31.639
whatnot. But I can bring my
I can bring some of ubiquity directional stuff,

810
01:00:31.639 --> 01:00:37.239
and we can beam your stuff across
into the do it, do it,

811
01:00:37.360 --> 01:00:43.760
Let's do it. I don't care
where OREF and sit and radio signal.

812
01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:45.639
Guys, we should be able to
make something happen. So bring us

813
01:00:46.000 --> 01:00:50.239
a Wi Fi extender that I've never
opened. Oh, there you go,

814
01:00:51.960 --> 01:00:54.679
I got I got that one because
it was free. But I thought that

815
01:00:54.800 --> 01:01:00.800
might be a good thing to have
uh at at Huntsville. See if we

816
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:04.800
can get a little sign that's an
idea. You could. You could extend

817
01:01:04.800 --> 01:01:08.400
the starlink over meshtastic and let's say
coverage in the buildings. Can we have

818
01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:17.760
somebody stream on YouTube for the first
time on packet radio. Awesome, that'd

819
01:01:17.800 --> 01:01:23.000
be fun. That would be fun. That'd be fun. For the audience.

820
01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:29.719
Yeah, I'm sure there's an iOS
app for that. Yeah. Yeah,

821
01:01:30.199 --> 01:01:35.199
it's just a it's just all a
PRS packets. You gotta frame every

822
01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:40.400
three seconds. It's fine. As
a side note, because Jason, I

823
01:01:40.440 --> 01:01:46.920
caught your Zion hanvention thing. Yes, yes, anyone else here going to

824
01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:53.400
that besides you and me? Uh, Kyle should be there, depending on

825
01:01:53.440 --> 01:01:58.679
some stuff he's got going. Uh, Frank, are you going to that?

826
01:01:58.920 --> 01:02:04.199
Which would Zion in July? Yes, I'm going to that. Man.

827
01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:07.079
Well, dude, I can't keep
up with what the hell you're doing

828
01:02:07.119 --> 01:02:10.639
on any given day. So so
so, Frank and I. Your schedule

829
01:02:10.760 --> 01:02:15.679
changes left right to you know,
my schedule has not changed. My schedule

830
01:02:15.719 --> 01:02:23.360
doesn't change for ham fests, No, it does not. Uh yeah,

831
01:02:23.599 --> 01:02:28.280
yeah, I believe Adam and Josh
are going to that one. Charlie is

832
01:02:28.320 --> 01:02:35.679
going to that one. Who else
I'm coming out after Zion? Yeah,

833
01:02:36.199 --> 01:02:40.159
yeah, Rob's going to be U
is out there before a Yellowstone. I

834
01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:45.360
wish I could go, but that's
too long a trip. Come to the

835
01:02:45.440 --> 01:02:47.880
ham come to ham Fest and Bill. Yeah, Bill will be there still.

836
01:02:49.199 --> 01:02:52.280
I was looking at it on your
live stream on Google Maps. That's

837
01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:58.679
like from me, it's like a
twenty one twenty two hour drive, come

838
01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:05.599
up, come up north and ride
out with us and then fly home from

839
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:09.239
and then yeah, they have a
small community airport and you're only two hours

840
01:03:09.239 --> 01:03:15.440
away from Las Vegas. Mm hmmm, you can get McCarron airport. That'd

841
01:03:15.480 --> 01:03:17.639
be an expensive ass uber ride home
for me though. From the airport,

842
01:03:21.360 --> 01:03:23.800
I have to go back past mccarren's. If you want to Vegas, if

843
01:03:23.840 --> 01:03:28.920
you if you, well, no, never mind, run the airport,

844
01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:30.440
never mind, never mind, not
if you're parked at my house. It

845
01:03:30.480 --> 01:03:34.039
won't be Yeah, well, if
I flew from Houston, if I flew

846
01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:37.880
back to Houston, it'd be a
really no no, no back up TOAs

847
01:03:37.320 --> 01:03:44.400
never mind airport. Don't do that. Don't do that. But to Hobby

848
01:03:45.519 --> 01:03:51.559
right yeah, oh boy, Okay, maybe I'll have to think. I

849
01:03:51.679 --> 01:03:54.559
want to go. I want to
go to that really really bad. But

850
01:03:54.679 --> 01:03:59.760
the logistics plus, I'm going in
October. I'm going out to Washington for

851
01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:03.320
the Radio Adventures Pacific Beach thing.
I just I just bought my flight for

852
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:08.679
that the other day, and I
still need to pay for the actual Like,

853
01:04:08.760 --> 01:04:10.199
how is it? I don't even
know how much it is, but

854
01:04:10.840 --> 01:04:13.199
I want to go to that one. Yeah. They keep inviting me to

855
01:04:13.320 --> 01:04:15.079
that. I really want to go
to that one of these years. I've

856
01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:19.880
never activated Washington, so that that's
on my list of states to activate.

857
01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:32.199
I fun is I like having fun. I'd like having fun most. Yes,

858
01:04:32.599 --> 01:04:38.960
I had heard a rumor that there's
a plan to activate US zero zero

859
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:45.920
zero one. Yes, there is. I well, okay, so so

860
01:04:46.400 --> 01:04:50.840
so I need to follow up on
that. I called them in this is

861
01:04:50.960 --> 01:04:56.480
what this is. May. I
called them in like February or March somewhere

862
01:04:56.519 --> 01:04:58.719
in there, and I said,
this is what I want to do.

863
01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:04.239
And they said you need to all
back like four months before you want to

864
01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:10.400
come out here, that they wouldn't
take a reservation talking September, September,

865
01:05:10.440 --> 01:05:14.199
October, yeah, something like that. So yeah, so I need to

866
01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:15.840
I probably should have called him last
month in April, so I need to

867
01:05:15.880 --> 01:05:23.159
call him now. Boys and uh
like, hey, you know Jason's thinking

868
01:05:23.159 --> 01:05:26.480
about coming out here for activating this, you should come out guy to a

869
01:05:26.559 --> 01:05:29.599
pepper roll and then we just keep
on most eating it up to me and

870
01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:35.440
I'm like that's uh yeah, yeah, that's New Hampshire is a fun place

871
01:05:35.480 --> 01:05:40.400
to activate apparently when Colin and I
were doing our five eight or nine state

872
01:05:40.440 --> 01:05:45.880
potoro of whatever it was. Vermont
apparently is highly sought after by lots of

873
01:05:45.960 --> 01:05:51.239
people. The Fort Dummer, the
Fort Dummer. Yeah yeah, but uh

874
01:05:51.599 --> 01:05:56.880
yeah, yeah, everyone here is
dumber for having listened to it. Uh

875
01:05:58.119 --> 01:06:00.199
yeah, apparently Vermont is. And
I'm like Vermont. I had Vermont my

876
01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:04.679
log prior to that trip in my
in my in my in my activation log.

877
01:06:04.760 --> 01:06:08.960
I mean, but it's in the
state of Bernie. So it's definitely

878
01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:12.320
the fourth dumber of the place.
Well, you know what, you speak

879
01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:15.480
a lot of truth, my good
sir. So yeah, but I wouldn't

880
01:06:15.480 --> 01:06:20.639
mind going all to Hey. I
wouldn't Carol, I wouldn't mind going to

881
01:06:20.880 --> 01:06:25.199
Uh. I wouldn't mind going back
to Vermont and spending a weekend or something,

882
01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:29.119
because apparently that's that's a popular place
people. People want to chase you

883
01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:33.719
out there. So that was that
was pretty countryside Vermont in New Hampshire.

884
01:06:34.159 --> 01:06:40.119
Yeah, it was very, very
one of the most one of the most

885
01:06:40.119 --> 01:06:44.039
difficult quotas I've done is that one
I did the last week. I got

886
01:06:44.280 --> 01:06:47.280
one whole contact out of it,
and that's the Theodore Roosevelt birthplace on twentieth

887
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:54.159
Street in Manhattan. You're just surrounded
by cement buildings. And don't go on

888
01:06:54.280 --> 01:07:00.079
Wednesday through Sunday because the house is
open for visitors and there's no place but

889
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:05.199
to set up your intentna on the
sidewalk. Really, Statue of Liberty was

890
01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:10.119
great and Ellis Island were great.
Those were those were good quotas? Did

891
01:07:10.159 --> 01:07:15.000
you activate both of those? Yes? I got awesome and so I was

892
01:07:15.239 --> 01:07:23.280
very surprised Craig that need to permit
to do Ellis Island. No. In

893
01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:25.639
fact, well, they tried to
stop me when I was getting on the

894
01:07:26.280 --> 01:07:32.880
ferry at the yeah Battery Park.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, the security

895
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:36.960
tried to stop me and I was
getting ready to go into my I'm licensed

896
01:07:38.000 --> 01:07:41.440
by the FCC. You don't get
that choice. But he's like, let

897
01:07:41.480 --> 01:07:44.880
me talk to a supervisor, and
the supervisor set him straight. Yeah.

898
01:07:45.039 --> 01:07:47.280
The only thing you pay for is
twenty five dollars for the ferry ride.

899
01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:50.719
But you got to make an appointment
on the ferry ride. Right. Yeah,

900
01:07:50.800 --> 01:07:55.480
I've been to Ellis Island and the
Statue of Liberty. Oh, so

901
01:07:55.719 --> 01:08:00.760
Ellis Island is the immigration island.
It's not the stat Okay. So I'm

902
01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:04.280
getting the too confused, because there's
two. Whenever you buy that ferry ride

903
01:08:04.360 --> 01:08:08.760
ticket, you get to you get
to both, right right. So you

904
01:08:08.880 --> 01:08:14.880
went to you activated Ellis Island where
the immigration office was. Oh, you

905
01:08:14.920 --> 01:08:16.760
did both of them. They took
They took me to Statue Liberty first.

906
01:08:16.880 --> 01:08:20.399
I did a live video on that
one. Oh okay. And then I

907
01:08:20.560 --> 01:08:25.520
went to Elis Island and I did
a recorded video on there. And if

908
01:08:25.520 --> 01:08:28.920
I had ever get off my lazy
ass, I'll actually edit it put it

909
01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:34.720
up. Yeah. Ellis Island is
the immigration point of the ported port of

910
01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:40.000
Immigration for way back in the day, and both of the islands have tables

911
01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:43.359
and chairs you can consider. Oh
okay, gotcha? What did you use?

912
01:08:43.520 --> 01:08:46.840
You just like a just a small
vertical. I had a G ninety

913
01:08:47.159 --> 01:08:53.680
and my buddy stick pro okay,
nice. You have any pictures? Do

914
01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:58.359
you have any pictures, Craig,
take any pictures of your setup? Not

915
01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:04.399
at the moment, No, okay, because I would send I'm in Big

916
01:09:04.439 --> 01:09:10.079
Bear Lake doing a activation tomorrow.
Now. Did you take pictures of your

917
01:09:10.159 --> 01:09:15.119
setup at Ellis Island or at the
Statue Libally Nope? Okay, but screen

918
01:09:15.199 --> 01:09:18.119
stills from your your video. Yeah, I can, Yeah, I can

919
01:09:18.520 --> 01:09:21.359
pull some of those. I'll go
find your video. I'll send it those

920
01:09:21.359 --> 01:09:26.560
a Chris at Buddy Pool. I'm
sure he'd love to see those. Yeah,

921
01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:30.720
it's been to I've taken that one
to three places in Manhattan or the

922
01:09:30.840 --> 01:09:36.439
Statue of Liberty Theodore Roosevelt, Ellis
Island, MAUI now Big Bear Lake.

923
01:09:39.319 --> 01:09:43.880
So cool. It's been working quite
well, and it's so easy to take

924
01:09:43.920 --> 01:09:47.399
on an airplane. It's lightweight,
small packed. Ye. How how did

925
01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:54.520
you activate Ellis Island? Did they
give you any issues to ask or did

926
01:09:54.600 --> 01:09:58.119
you just kind of do it stealthy? You did a remote? Well just

927
01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:05.279
I try two couples, but string
kept getting wet. Yeah. All.

928
01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:11.439
I set it right up in the
main little area that's technically behind the statue

929
01:10:11.479 --> 01:10:14.800
Liberty is, like where the gift
shop and a little restaurant is. And

930
01:10:14.880 --> 01:10:16.800
I just sat there and nobody bothered
me. The only problem I had was

931
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:25.039
a family of French people sat down
and worked loud as hell a wow tables

932
01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:30.720
and they sat next to me.
We give the Americans this statue, this

933
01:10:30.760 --> 01:10:39.840
should be ours. That was that
was, that was, that was And

934
01:10:39.880 --> 01:10:45.399
then Austrian. Actually, yes,
I got some Austrian and me too.

935
01:10:45.479 --> 01:10:54.199
Whatever that get to the chappa like
a good like a good neigh the need

936
01:10:54.239 --> 01:11:00.720
to watch for hand radio prepper,
get my friend. I keep hearing,

937
01:11:00.640 --> 01:11:03.680
I keep it, I keep hearing. Neighbor, but it's neighbor. That

938
01:11:03.880 --> 01:11:10.119
is what I said. Neighbor like
a good neighbor. State is the That's

939
01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:21.920
great? All right? Only an
hour in? Oh boy, I'm sorry.

940
01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:30.439
Yeah, jo So who who has
a mesh Tastic device? First,

941
01:11:30.600 --> 01:11:34.720
Jason, what is a mess taxi
device? Okay, So I have a

942
01:11:34.840 --> 01:11:40.479
video premiering Monday, and Josh has
a couple, and Ringway Manchester has a

943
01:11:40.560 --> 01:11:45.119
couple, and Andy Kirby has a
lot. Yeah, Andy Kirby has a

944
01:11:45.239 --> 01:11:48.520
lot as well. Mesh Tastic has
been in a nutshell. It is a

945
01:11:48.680 --> 01:11:55.560
license free mesh router similar to Arden, but smaller, more compact, a

946
01:11:55.640 --> 01:11:57.960
little bit, a little bit easier
to set up, in my opinion,

947
01:11:58.239 --> 01:12:01.079
not on the hand bands. It's
in the hurts. It's in the nine

948
01:12:01.119 --> 01:12:05.000
hundred megahertz commercial band, which which
we as Ham's share. So it actually

949
01:12:05.079 --> 01:12:10.239
is a HAM band, but not
a ham onlyband, and it is a

950
01:12:11.279 --> 01:12:15.920
system of off grid text messaging.
So you download an app on your phone

951
01:12:15.960 --> 01:12:19.159
called mesh Tastic and you connect it
via Bluetooth to one of these devices.

952
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:23.760
I didn't bring one out here with
me, and then you can do off

953
01:12:23.840 --> 01:12:28.560
grid text messaging. So one of
the guys at Belton had a mesh Tastic

954
01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:30.479
radio and he was talking to He
said there were eight or ten people there.

955
01:12:30.840 --> 01:12:34.760
Bill had one at more Expo and
he was finding people on the app

956
01:12:35.520 --> 01:12:42.279
via the via RF in mesh together. So we are hold on, Frank,

957
01:12:43.319 --> 01:12:47.760
we are I think it's I think
it's Evan. Evan in the Ham

958
01:12:47.920 --> 01:12:54.640
Radio crash course discord hit me up
several months ago and he's like, Hey,

959
01:12:55.279 --> 01:12:59.880
can I put a repeater which is
basically just a radio up on a

960
01:13:00.439 --> 01:13:03.000
tower at your RV camp site at
him Venchin And I'm like, that's a

961
01:13:03.039 --> 01:13:08.680
great idea. So I'm bringing my
my fifty foot buddy pull carbon fiber mast

962
01:13:08.720 --> 01:13:11.520
out. They're going to attach to
the back of the trailer and we're gonna

963
01:13:11.520 --> 01:13:15.960
put up a Meshtastic repeater there at
the camp site and then people with mesh

964
01:13:15.039 --> 01:13:20.079
Tastic devices nine hundred megaherts will be
able to connect and they all mesh together,

965
01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:23.359
all you do is turn it on. All you do is turn it

966
01:13:23.439 --> 01:13:26.640
on, and it automatically connects itself
once you flash it with the mesh Tastic

967
01:13:26.720 --> 01:13:32.760
firmware. So we're gonna have that
setup one before him. Bention. I

968
01:13:32.800 --> 01:13:39.000
don't know, maybe maybe maybe maybe
not, depends on when you leave for

969
01:13:39.039 --> 01:13:43.399
him bention. I bet. But
so I saw that there were like three

970
01:13:43.479 --> 01:13:45.680
different bands. Is the nine hundred
Mega Hurts the one that you want to

971
01:13:45.720 --> 01:13:50.000
buy? Yes? Yeah, the
nine hundreds commonly called nine hundred and fifteen

972
01:13:50.039 --> 01:13:55.600
Megaherts. I think it's technically like
eight ninety to nine forty or something like

973
01:13:55.720 --> 01:13:59.520
that. So I had some but
yes, because because then there like you

974
01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:03.520
can select whether or not you have
a hammer license, and it disables features

975
01:14:04.199 --> 01:14:08.520
that you can't use with your hand
license, Like I saw something like that

976
01:14:08.760 --> 01:14:13.359
in there. Yeah, I just
I don't know. I checked mine said

977
01:14:13.479 --> 01:14:15.760
yes, I have a hand license, but you can go in there and

978
01:14:15.840 --> 01:14:18.119
uncheck that if you want to.
I don't have mind encrypted. I just

979
01:14:18.279 --> 01:14:25.239
I the times the very few times
I've seen it used, they did not

980
01:14:25.399 --> 01:14:28.199
use it. Encryption. Encryption is
great if you want to get a group

981
01:14:28.239 --> 01:14:30.920
of guys together and say we want
to have our own private channel, then

982
01:14:30.960 --> 01:14:32.560
great, do that. But the
point in doing it the way we're doing

983
01:14:32.560 --> 01:14:35.239
it next week at a handvention is
to try to find as many people as

984
01:14:35.279 --> 01:14:40.279
we can all in the same room. Josh actually created a tuber's room for

985
01:14:40.520 --> 01:14:43.359
us with a QUE you can create
a room that has a QR code and

986
01:14:43.399 --> 01:14:45.680
you just scan it and automatically get
your device added to that room. And

987
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:50.000
then there's like a default room that
that is part of the Meshtastic firmware.

988
01:14:50.039 --> 01:14:54.039
So you just boot it up and
you see this, uh this, uh

989
01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:59.800
it's the room name is long fast, which means long range and Fast Fast

990
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:03.079
EAT or something like that. So
so the default room is what I've seen

991
01:15:03.159 --> 01:15:09.760
most people use. So my comment
is here, I joined the amateur ready

992
01:15:09.840 --> 01:15:14.680
to talk. Why do people keep
inventing things? I gotta type and and

993
01:15:14.800 --> 01:15:19.920
to get Frank type in because I
c W I I'm not gonna do and

994
01:15:20.039 --> 01:15:24.000
now now you got to meet a
text too. You see me in the

995
01:15:24.119 --> 01:15:29.399
chat. It's true. It's a
good point, Frank, but yeah,

996
01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:33.520
it's not for everyone. Yeah,
it's not for everyone. So Rob,

997
01:15:34.239 --> 01:15:39.640
Rob, some things are just not
for you. But we're going to be

998
01:15:39.720 --> 01:15:44.760
running that at ham Vision next week
and if you have a device, bring

999
01:15:44.840 --> 01:15:47.920
it with you and we will see. So, actually, this is pretty

1000
01:15:47.960 --> 01:15:51.399
cool. I like to get a
device and play with it. It sounds

1001
01:15:51.399 --> 01:15:59.840
like I have nine devices. I
might have gone a little bit over to

1002
01:16:00.600 --> 01:16:04.079
so I have I have four of
I have Yeah, I have four of

1003
01:16:04.199 --> 01:16:09.359
the hell Tech V three's. I
have four of the T beams, and

1004
01:16:09.479 --> 01:16:12.600
I have the T You remember that
one that looks I showed it to you

1005
01:16:12.680 --> 01:16:15.840
one time, Frank, it looks
like a BlackBerry curve. Yeah, I've

1006
01:16:15.920 --> 01:16:19.000
got that. That's the one.
That's the one that built. Yes,

1007
01:16:19.399 --> 01:16:26.399
that's the one that Bill had.
More. It takes five minutes for me,

1008
01:16:26.600 --> 01:16:35.119
though, it takes four minutes if
you have a twenty. If you

1009
01:16:35.199 --> 01:16:39.960
have it well, actually it's all
web the firmer flashes all web based,

1010
01:16:40.239 --> 01:16:43.000
so you can even do it with
a Mac. So easy. Even a

1011
01:16:43.039 --> 01:16:50.039
Mac user can do it. So
I'm so used to his bullship. Yah

1012
01:16:51.800 --> 01:16:58.880
yah, yeah that is Yeah,
I can get it. I can get

1013
01:16:58.880 --> 01:17:04.000
a pair of moustastic and it's here
tomorrow for fifty seven. Yeah, I'm

1014
01:17:04.039 --> 01:17:12.359
looking right now. Okay, V
three, the hell Tech V three here.

1015
01:17:12.680 --> 01:17:15.199
Let me let me do a screenshot, show you the ones. I'll

1016
01:17:15.199 --> 01:17:20.800
show you the ones. That's let's
see I bought I bought mine from lily

1017
01:17:20.920 --> 01:17:25.119
Go. But I mean, you
can you know you can. I barely

1018
01:17:25.239 --> 01:17:29.000
know how to work. That's about
all I can guarantee you. It's actually

1019
01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:30.840
not hard. The new tag the
new tagline for my show. Seriously,

1020
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:32.960
I've been thinking about this for a
while. I'm going to create a new

1021
01:17:33.079 --> 01:17:40.199
tagline for my show. Actually if
actually the tagline is going to be if

1022
01:17:40.239 --> 01:17:43.920
I can do it, anybody can
do it. So, so here is

1023
01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:48.239
let's see. Boom. Okay,
you guys, I've got virtual camera turned

1024
01:17:48.279 --> 01:17:54.840
on. So this is the hell
Tech Version V three and that's you see

1025
01:17:54.840 --> 01:17:57.680
it says mesh tastic on it.
This is after I've flashed it with the

1026
01:17:57.720 --> 01:18:03.760
firmware, not seeing what you're showing. Look at look at zoom. It's

1027
01:18:03.840 --> 01:18:09.000
the image. It's the image I'm
feeding to you in zoom. Okay,

1028
01:18:12.399 --> 01:18:15.479
Oh hold on, okay, hold
on, my bad, how's that much

1029
01:18:15.520 --> 01:18:19.680
better? Okay? Okay, okay, So that's yeah, that's one there.

1030
01:18:20.239 --> 01:18:24.319
Uh no, that's not it.
This is this is the one here.

1031
01:18:24.399 --> 01:18:27.119
I've got four of these, so
there's two of them right there.

1032
01:18:27.119 --> 01:18:30.359
I've got two of them that are
flashed. This is the tea beam right

1033
01:18:30.439 --> 01:18:33.000
here, and I think Josh is
three D printing me a case for one

1034
01:18:33.039 --> 01:18:38.239
of these. And this is the
one that has an external intenna attachment and

1035
01:18:38.359 --> 01:18:41.159
you can attach it external intends.
The other ones, you just got to

1036
01:18:41.199 --> 01:18:45.199
open it up and change some of
the jumpers on it or the the coax

1037
01:18:45.279 --> 01:18:46.359
on it. But this one right
here, it comes with an s m

1038
01:18:46.359 --> 01:18:50.439
A connector. I've got a magmunt
antenna for nine hundred megahertz that I'm going

1039
01:18:50.479 --> 01:18:54.600
to connect, put on the truck
and run from this when we're driving to

1040
01:18:54.760 --> 01:19:00.279
Dayton next week. So you use
your cell phone to send messages? Yes,

1041
01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:02.520
yes, you use yourself it's an
app on your sofaone, but you

1042
01:19:02.600 --> 01:19:06.039
can. But it does not require
like Internet. It's all done. It's

1043
01:19:06.039 --> 01:19:12.520
all done done offline. So yeah, So which one should a person get

1044
01:19:12.680 --> 01:19:15.680
is their first? Whichever one you
want to buy, I mean, they

1045
01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:21.399
all flash, they all flash with
the same firmware, so so I gotta

1046
01:19:21.439 --> 01:19:26.560
I gotta flash something on this one. I get it. I have I

1047
01:19:26.720 --> 01:19:30.279
have enough for you, Mike and
you Frank. I have enough if you

1048
01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:32.479
guys want to try it out first, I have enough that you guys,

1049
01:19:32.680 --> 01:19:36.399
we can we can, Yes,
I can let you buy one. I've

1050
01:19:36.479 --> 01:19:41.159
seen some videos on the flashing and
it is literally you go to a web

1051
01:19:41.239 --> 01:19:45.439
page, it's easy, and select
your device, select the load, and

1052
01:19:45.600 --> 01:19:51.119
hit go. I can do those
things. Yeah, Jason, will I

1053
01:19:51.319 --> 01:19:58.359
get the all Star node from you? You still have one of the Raspberry

1054
01:19:58.399 --> 01:20:04.000
Pie for ones. I think that
I do. I think I think I

1055
01:20:04.119 --> 01:20:11.319
have one or two left that are
unbuilt. That are unbuilt. So remind

1056
01:20:11.359 --> 01:20:15.119
me when you get here on Monday. Okay, remind me to remind you.

1057
01:20:15.600 --> 01:20:17.680
Yeah, I will, so,
yes, we can do that.

1058
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:23.760
So anyway, so mesh Tastic is
going, what's the cost on these things?

1059
01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:29.960
Because again, I've got to deal
with this over here? She looks

1060
01:20:30.000 --> 01:20:32.239
thrilled. I love how you call
her out. That's great, she looks

1061
01:20:32.279 --> 01:20:38.439
thrilled. I I think that,
Uh, you know Kraig's funerals next week,

1062
01:20:38.520 --> 01:20:43.159
folks, right, Yeah. I
think I paid like anywhere from like

1063
01:20:43.680 --> 01:20:47.880
thirty to thirty five dollars apiece for
him, something like that. It's been

1064
01:20:47.920 --> 01:20:51.359
a while since I bought him.
Actually, I'm looking on the line right

1065
01:20:51.399 --> 01:20:57.079
now. Amazon has a pair of
them for fifty seven dollars. Send me

1066
01:20:57.119 --> 01:20:59.720
a link, send me a link
in the chat in the zoom chat,

1067
01:21:00.800 --> 01:21:04.520
Carlos, and I'll tell you.
I'll tell you for sure if that'll,

1068
01:21:04.800 --> 01:21:11.600
I'm sure it'll. The flashing.
The flashing website at mestastic dot org will

1069
01:21:11.600 --> 01:21:16.239
support like fifteen different devices, so
it's not like just one or two devices.

1070
01:21:18.840 --> 01:21:21.600
Okay, let me see. Oh
that's a nice affiliate link there,

1071
01:21:21.640 --> 01:21:26.039
Carlos. Let's see. Yeah,
that's it. Yeah, that's it.

1072
01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:30.159
That's it. That's the hell Tech
V three. Yes, that will absolutely

1073
01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:34.479
work. That's a good price too. It's a good price. Yeah,

1074
01:21:34.840 --> 01:21:38.359
it's good price. You like it, good price, good price, you

1075
01:21:38.560 --> 01:21:45.399
like you bight know New York City
shell game going on? Yeah, so

1076
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:48.760
yeah, yeah, look at the
link that Carlos put in the chat.

1077
01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:56.239
And oh I'm still sureing that I
don't I where did we go? Oh

1078
01:21:56.319 --> 01:22:00.199
crap, I got I got the
wrong screen here, So case scenario were

1079
01:22:00.600 --> 01:22:03.000
legitimately, guys, where's kissing area? This is an ESP thirty two S

1080
01:22:03.119 --> 01:22:06.760
three, So even if you don't
use it for ashtastic, you can read

1081
01:22:06.760 --> 01:22:13.800
purpose the doing other fun stuff.
Oh yeah, absolutely, yeah, h

1082
01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:17.399
absolutely, Well. The t deck's
cool because it has its own keyboard,

1083
01:22:17.479 --> 01:22:20.800
right, you don't need to connect
your phone. That's the one that looks

1084
01:22:20.880 --> 01:22:25.479
that's the one that Bill had at
at More and it looks like a BlackBerry.

1085
01:22:25.560 --> 01:22:28.800
Yeah, so I have that.
Bill is printing me a three D

1086
01:22:29.479 --> 01:22:32.680
three three D printing case. Yeah, so I'm gonna tinker around with that

1087
01:22:33.840 --> 01:22:36.399
when we're at him vention next week. I don't I don't have that one

1088
01:22:36.520 --> 01:22:42.760
flashed yet because I don't have a
battery for it. But yes, yeah,

1089
01:22:42.800 --> 01:22:45.560
that one's that one's neat as well. Oh, such, it's just

1090
01:22:45.680 --> 01:22:49.239
the board, not the case.
I was just looking at that looks like

1091
01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:56.359
an old crack bird. Y'all.
Y'all, uh watch my video that will

1092
01:22:56.399 --> 01:23:01.079
premiere on Monday, and I go
through how I do it and what I

1093
01:23:01.159 --> 01:23:06.399
can do and what is what's all
involved in it and what Tim is Right.

1094
01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:10.479
This is just the board. It
doesn't have the battery and it doesn't

1095
01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:14.399
have the case, right, it
doesn't need to. Well, okay,

1096
01:23:14.520 --> 01:23:17.439
so so the one you're it does
have a case. The picture you sent

1097
01:23:17.520 --> 01:23:23.359
me had a case that that little
green and white thing case. It doesn't

1098
01:23:23.439 --> 01:23:26.039
have a battery. It doesn't have
a battery, but it will run off

1099
01:23:26.039 --> 01:23:30.359
a USBC. So I have a
USBC charging brick and I plugged that.

1100
01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:32.960
I plugged that device into it,
and I let it run for sixteen hours,

1101
01:23:33.239 --> 01:23:36.720
and the battery was still at one
hundred percent after sixteen hours. I

1102
01:23:36.800 --> 01:23:41.439
mean, it'll run for a fricking
month and a half on a on a

1103
01:23:41.560 --> 01:23:46.000
on a charging brick. You can't
what's up? You can? So I

1104
01:23:46.119 --> 01:23:49.840
had to jump in because I want
to save you a lot of frustration.

1105
01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:54.159
So, yes, you should get
the hell tech. But but hear me

1106
01:23:54.279 --> 01:23:58.600
out right, so don't get the
one that doesn't have the SMA connection.

1107
01:23:59.079 --> 01:24:01.640
You want one of these guys,
for instance, that has the little tiny

1108
01:24:01.840 --> 01:24:05.520
SMA because then you can swap out
better antennas. Okay, so that's the

1109
01:24:05.600 --> 01:24:10.479
first pro tip. Well the well, I got the one without the SMA,

1110
01:24:10.600 --> 01:24:14.319
but then I just bought some IPX
to SMA connected adapters on Amazon.

1111
01:24:14.520 --> 01:24:15.920
You could do that. But if
you're already gonna buy it, you might

1112
01:24:15.960 --> 01:24:19.520
as well get the one that has
the SMA now. So then yes,

1113
01:24:19.840 --> 01:24:26.119
these can be externally powered. And
I'm literally I've got my workshop assembled here.

1114
01:24:27.119 --> 01:24:32.239
These three thousand AMPI hour millimp hour
batteries have the tiny connector already on

1115
01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:38.720
it for these guys, and I'm
literally just putting them in there with the

1116
01:24:38.840 --> 01:24:42.720
connection and it goes in these cases. That's the way to do it.

1117
01:24:42.800 --> 01:24:46.079
There's your your three printed bands.
Yeah, I see my name there.

1118
01:24:48.560 --> 01:24:53.640
Yeah. So that's the way to
go is just buy the three thousand million

1119
01:24:53.800 --> 01:24:58.239
power batteries. They're on Amazon.
Get the one with the SMAs because these

1120
01:24:58.279 --> 01:25:02.319
are actually some pretty kick ass inten
for these which are much much bigger and

1121
01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:08.880
and they do nine hundred megahertz.
Just fine. Yeah, they're the Heltech

1122
01:25:08.960 --> 01:25:12.039
is the way to go to get
started. The T Beam. I like

1123
01:25:12.159 --> 01:25:15.960
the T being better myself, honestly, but it's a log. It's it

1124
01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:18.960
takes so much power to run that
thing. The battery life is not good.

1125
01:25:19.000 --> 01:25:21.479
You gotta you're talking about the battery
in it? Sorry, the T

1126
01:25:21.640 --> 01:25:24.600
deck, the T deck, No, I'm talking about the T beams.

1127
01:25:24.640 --> 01:25:27.760
Oh got the one that takes in
eighteen six fifty. Yeah, they're cool.

1128
01:25:27.800 --> 01:25:30.439
The problem is it's the weird SMA
sticking out of the side is kind

1129
01:25:30.479 --> 01:25:33.880
of but I think that much.
Well, mine sticks out the top,

1130
01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:36.600
not the side, but like on
the side, like in the middle,

1131
01:25:36.600 --> 01:25:39.039
you know what I mean. Yeah, it is in the middle, but

1132
01:25:39.119 --> 01:25:42.560
I think that one, I think
that one would be better for running mobile.

1133
01:25:42.800 --> 01:25:45.479
I'm just gonna plug it into my
extra to my Magma Intent in the

1134
01:25:45.520 --> 01:25:48.079
truck and put it down inside my
console or something and forget about it.

1135
01:25:48.239 --> 01:25:53.399
It is because it has the GPS
included, which is nice, which is

1136
01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:56.960
really nice. You can that's another
thing you can do too, is you

1137
01:25:57.039 --> 01:26:00.720
can just buy these GPS modules of
Amazon as well. And there's a really

1138
01:26:00.800 --> 01:26:06.479
easy it's four wires that you connect
between the hell Tech proto board on these

1139
01:26:06.560 --> 01:26:11.560
gpio connections and it goes directly into
the GPS and it's it's simple. It's

1140
01:26:11.600 --> 01:26:15.560
dead simple. It's all very easy. And then, as Jason said,

1141
01:26:15.600 --> 01:26:17.720
flashing it is literally go to the
website, plug it into your computer,

1142
01:26:18.319 --> 01:26:23.239
point to the right serial adapter,
it flashes it. It's super easy.

1143
01:26:23.560 --> 01:26:27.359
Yeah, yeah, it's it's very
simple, very simp again. My uh

1144
01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:30.479
yeah. I watched Lewis's Lewis Ringway, Ringway, Manchester. He's got one

1145
01:26:30.520 --> 01:26:35.319
about how to flat I think he
even calls it like getting started with Meshtastic

1146
01:26:35.439 --> 01:26:39.239
or Idiot's Guide to Meshtat or something
like that. Yeah, and it and

1147
01:26:39.319 --> 01:26:41.640
he goes to It's like a ten
minute video and he goes through how to

1148
01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:44.960
flat. I just did That's all
I did. I did that and that's

1149
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:46.560
what I do on my video coming
up on Monday. So I did it

1150
01:26:46.640 --> 01:26:50.880
with the hell tech and with the
T beam and it was It's very it's

1151
01:26:51.000 --> 01:26:55.560
very simple. So the point the
point in me bringing that up is that

1152
01:26:55.720 --> 01:27:00.640
Evan U several months ago wanted to
set up a repeater at the RV camp

1153
01:27:00.680 --> 01:27:02.640
side. So we're gonna set that
up at Dayton when we get there next

1154
01:27:02.680 --> 01:27:05.640
week. So it's going to be
up on the Gigabarts mast behind. And

1155
01:27:05.680 --> 01:27:10.840
then for everybody that's gonna be at
hand Vention and you want to join our

1156
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:15.800
channels, you just take your Mestastic
app and you click on the channels and

1157
01:27:15.960 --> 01:27:20.600
you just screenshot that QR code and
it will it will load all the channels,

1158
01:27:20.600 --> 01:27:24.039
it'll set it up for you and
then you can just start chatting with

1159
01:27:24.159 --> 01:27:27.800
us. That's it. It's very
simple. It's really easy. Yep,

1160
01:27:28.039 --> 01:27:30.000
yeah, it is. I'm going
to be running the default channel on one

1161
01:27:30.039 --> 01:27:33.880
of mine because I suspect there'll be
people who haven't watched our channels that might

1162
01:27:34.039 --> 01:27:38.600
just be trying it. We were
at a very small regional handfest last month

1163
01:27:38.640 --> 01:27:41.279
and like and one of the guys
there was using it and he was seeing

1164
01:27:41.319 --> 01:27:45.199
eight or ten other people just that
little show. This includes the default mike

1165
01:27:45.279 --> 01:27:48.880
QR code includes the default channel and
uh one that's just to talk to YouTube

1166
01:27:48.880 --> 01:27:54.039
people. Okay, So it has
both. Okay, generally just for everybody

1167
01:27:54.039 --> 01:27:57.119
that's getting into mestastic. When you
started up for the first time, you'll

1168
01:27:57.159 --> 01:28:00.159
have a channel called zero and that
you already mentioned. It's long fast or

1169
01:28:00.319 --> 01:28:03.880
long fast. Yeah, it's called
So you want to always leave that at

1170
01:28:04.000 --> 01:28:08.960
channel zero because that is what allows
the meshing and the repeating of signals.

1171
01:28:09.319 --> 01:28:12.520
So even if you don't want to
talk to people, you still want to

1172
01:28:12.640 --> 01:28:16.359
leave channel zero there so that you
help by bridging mesh connections to other people.

1173
01:28:16.600 --> 01:28:19.199
You could have an encrypted channel it's
on one, two, three,

1174
01:28:19.359 --> 01:28:23.479
whatever, and you do all your
talking there, but you still want zero

1175
01:28:23.600 --> 01:28:27.079
to help flesh out the mesh.
Josh, Josh, you said encrypted.

1176
01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:30.800
We can't do encryption amateur radio.
How is that handled? Because this is

1177
01:28:30.800 --> 01:28:35.079
an amateur radio, it's radio.
It's nine hundred and fifteen MEGAL licensed two

1178
01:28:35.199 --> 01:28:41.359
hundred and fifty six AES encryption.
Yep, I would co hosted, So

1179
01:28:41.479 --> 01:28:44.399
you got to ask the dumb question. No, no, it's a good

1180
01:28:44.479 --> 01:28:46.359
question. Yeah. No, that
nine hundred and fifteen's is a SHIRE.

1181
01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:49.680
It is an amateur radio band,
but we share it with the commercial IP

1182
01:28:50.039 --> 01:28:54.920
something something whatever it's called. It's
uh, it's yeah. Encryption is completely

1183
01:28:55.039 --> 01:28:58.279
legal on that band. So it
doesn't matter if your HAM or not,

1184
01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:00.560
because we're not on the HAM radio
frequency. Yep, not on him radio.

1185
01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:04.800
You know, can you put a
repeater at fourteen thousand feet for one

1186
01:29:04.800 --> 01:29:10.000
of those? Yeah? Yeah,
yeah, In fact, yes you're joking,

1187
01:29:10.039 --> 01:29:12.319
Carlos, but yes you can.
And let me tell you how.

1188
01:29:12.640 --> 01:29:15.840
How I know this because I did
a balloon launch. Well I didn't do

1189
01:29:15.880 --> 01:29:19.359
the I recorded a balloon launch and
they had a Laura meshtastic and an APRS

1190
01:29:19.479 --> 01:29:23.439
beacon on that balloon launch and it
went up to ninety five thousand feet,

1191
01:29:24.319 --> 01:29:30.039
So yes, yes, they had
no, they had a freaking DMR repeater

1192
01:29:30.239 --> 01:29:33.399
on that balloon. And this may
not make sense to you, but I'm

1193
01:29:33.640 --> 01:29:39.520
I'm in Dallas Fort Worth area and
Houston is about five hours south of me.

1194
01:29:40.119 --> 01:29:43.880
We were talking, we were talking
through that simplex repeater on that balloon

1195
01:29:44.239 --> 01:29:47.520
to stations in Houston. So I
were talking from Dallas to Houston on DMR

1196
01:29:47.640 --> 01:29:53.520
Simplex repeating on the balloon. It
was freaking awesome. And it's all on

1197
01:29:53.880 --> 01:29:57.079
a video on my channel. So
yes, you can absolutely do that jumping

1198
01:29:57.119 --> 01:30:02.399
out of a plane. You can
totally do that, right, Yeah,

1199
01:30:02.439 --> 01:30:10.079
he's like, hell as a as
an aside for all of this Monday or

1200
01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:13.560
Tuesday, I'll drop a video on
how to set all this up with with

1201
01:30:14.119 --> 01:30:16.800
anybody that's interested, because I've got
this guy as well. This is new

1202
01:30:16.880 --> 01:30:20.880
to me. This is a meshtastic
messenger device. I saw that the other

1203
01:30:21.000 --> 01:30:25.039
day and I'm like, I'm like, yeah, I'm like, I don't

1204
01:30:25.039 --> 01:30:27.119
know if I want to get into
that yet. I'll probably know with one

1205
01:30:27.239 --> 01:30:30.800
that's better than the T deck.
The battery it way better. Way.

1206
01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:33.640
Yeah, it's because that screen,
that screen sucks the battery dry. You

1207
01:30:33.680 --> 01:30:36.560
can't turn the screen off and let
it run in the background, like I

1208
01:30:36.880 --> 01:30:40.840
don't think so, No, I've
been able to figure out how to do

1209
01:30:40.880 --> 01:30:43.600
it now. All right, Well, I know that I know that Bill

1210
01:30:43.680 --> 01:30:45.119
Bill had the T deck at more
Expo, and I know he was charging

1211
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:49.680
it quite a bit, so maybe
that's why. Yeah, all right,

1212
01:30:51.239 --> 01:30:54.760
okay, well good, Like I
said, my my video is gonna drop

1213
01:30:54.800 --> 01:30:59.119
on Monday. I recorded it last
week, but I'm going to and I

1214
01:30:59.239 --> 01:31:00.359
talk about Hey, if you have
one of these, bring it to him

1215
01:31:00.399 --> 01:31:03.800
mentioned. So that's the reason I
bring it up tonight. So I m

1216
01:31:03.920 --> 01:31:06.159
band Thank you, Dan, That's
what That's the term I was looking for

1217
01:31:06.319 --> 01:31:10.640
right there. You know, you
are tempting me to buy one of these

1218
01:31:10.760 --> 01:31:15.319
things because you know otherwise I have
zero use for this thing. There's nobody

1219
01:31:15.439 --> 01:31:18.760
in the stuff in my area.
Yeah, dude, if you jump out,

1220
01:31:19.000 --> 01:31:21.479
if you jump yeah, if you
jump out of a plane with that,

1221
01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:27.760
I guarantee you will get some signal
somewhere. What's kind of interesting about

1222
01:31:27.760 --> 01:31:31.000
the whole thing is it was never
really created to be a radio, like

1223
01:31:31.039 --> 01:31:33.680
a like a ham radio thing where
we reach out and just try and contact

1224
01:31:33.720 --> 01:31:38.079
with randos. It was always supposed
to be designed for you to create your

1225
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:43.640
own private network that you then talk
with people that you you've included in it.

1226
01:31:43.920 --> 01:31:46.039
So the fact that we're d xing
with mesh tastic really cracks me up.

1227
01:31:46.199 --> 01:31:48.119
And of course you give a bunch
of hands like that, how far

1228
01:31:48.199 --> 01:31:56.479
can we get this Yeah yeah,
yeah, there you put a yaggy on

1229
01:31:56.560 --> 01:31:59.880
this, then we make a yaggy
yeah right, yeah yeah, freaking freaking

1230
01:32:02.720 --> 01:32:08.640
a little hurts yaggy on that thing. That's what's what Lewis did. He

1231
01:32:08.760 --> 01:32:10.920
was talking about. He's like he
was like he put one in his attic

1232
01:32:11.000 --> 01:32:14.600
and he's like pointing it in his
attic from from his house to the next

1233
01:32:14.680 --> 01:32:18.159
station on the device. Yeah,
then de bait him because I live in

1234
01:32:18.239 --> 01:32:23.680
between Indianapolis and Bloomington, and I
was going to act and put up like

1235
01:32:23.720 --> 01:32:27.960
a relay station where I'd have a
yaggy pointing towards Indianapolis and one pointing towards

1236
01:32:28.000 --> 01:32:31.920
Bloomington and have it, you know, sure, just that reason to expand

1237
01:32:31.960 --> 01:32:38.159
the network. Sure, yeah,
Well apparently there's a pretty good network according

1238
01:32:38.199 --> 01:32:41.279
to Andy Kirby and Lewis, there's
a pretty good network over in the UK

1239
01:32:41.439 --> 01:32:45.600
already. So I'm I I drove
around with mine last week and I didn't

1240
01:32:45.600 --> 01:32:50.560
really pick up anything. So but
more more research and testing is warranted,

1241
01:32:50.600 --> 01:32:56.880
for sure. But I think at
a show like cam Vention, because because

1242
01:32:56.880 --> 01:32:59.760
it was so popular at Builton and
at the more Expo, Bill was walking

1243
01:32:59.800 --> 01:33:00.800
by and he talked to two or
three different people. He's like, hey,

1244
01:33:00.880 --> 01:33:05.239
you're on Meshtastic. So I think
at a show like camventioned with so

1245
01:33:05.319 --> 01:33:09.479
many people there, I I kind
of hope we're gonna we're gonna see a

1246
01:33:09.520 --> 01:33:12.560
lot of activity, but we'll see
it will be an interesting experiment. I'm

1247
01:33:12.600 --> 01:33:15.560
just curious to see what happens.
Are you bringing? Are you bringing hardline

1248
01:33:15.720 --> 01:33:19.640
to connect the antenna to that little
Yeah, it's two in chili. Acts

1249
01:33:19.720 --> 01:33:28.880
is lost. Yeah, I've got
no. I don't know. I don't

1250
01:33:28.960 --> 01:33:33.399
know what. I don't know what. I don't know what Evans repeater looks

1251
01:33:33.520 --> 01:33:35.920
like. But I think it's just
a device with a nintenna attached to it

1252
01:33:36.079 --> 01:33:40.800
that he's gonna mount high up on
the pole with its own battery. Oh

1253
01:33:40.880 --> 01:33:43.159
it looks like this. I'll show
you what it looks like. Okay,

1254
01:33:43.800 --> 01:33:50.119
but you don't have in your and
then like going up to Okay, so

1255
01:33:50.199 --> 01:33:54.319
it's a solar power. This is
another unit that I have. Uh,

1256
01:33:54.560 --> 01:33:59.479
this is a really Amazon It's like
for one hundred and fifty bucks. This

1257
01:33:59.640 --> 01:34:02.319
is a rack board, a rack
wireless. I've seen the rack boards.

1258
01:34:02.359 --> 01:34:06.760
Okay, those are really good because
they're really power. They're they're really power

1259
01:34:06.800 --> 01:34:09.600
of it. That's what I need. I need to put that up at

1260
01:34:09.640 --> 01:34:12.439
my house. Then, is that
we josh, yeah, yeah, it's

1261
01:34:12.439 --> 01:34:15.000
sealed, it's a waterproof, it's
a steal box. The only problem you

1262
01:34:15.039 --> 01:34:18.560
have with these guys is you need
to pull it down to reflash it sometimes,

1263
01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:21.520
which is that's the only downside if
you need to do that, Like

1264
01:34:21.600 --> 01:34:27.680
if if you keep incrementally updating the
firmware on the devices you have control of,

1265
01:34:27.760 --> 01:34:29.880
eventually they're going to be too far
out of spect from each other and

1266
01:34:29.920 --> 01:34:31.880
they won't communicate, so you have
to go up there and reflash it.

1267
01:34:32.159 --> 01:34:38.000
That's one good thing about Arden.
You can flash nodes that your node is

1268
01:34:38.039 --> 01:34:41.000
connected to. You can click on
a node and click on a node and

1269
01:34:41.079 --> 01:34:43.880
go two or three four hops away
and say, oh that needs an update,

1270
01:34:43.920 --> 01:34:45.600
and flash a node that's four hops
away through the mesh. You can

1271
01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:48.159
do that with Arden. I guess
you can't do that with these I think

1272
01:34:48.159 --> 01:34:51.279
they're trying to get to that point. They had it over the air update

1273
01:34:51.439 --> 01:34:56.079
a while ago, but I think
they had some pretty big updates just recently,

1274
01:34:56.159 --> 01:34:58.399
so they were like, ah,
you got to catch up. And

1275
01:34:58.479 --> 01:35:00.920
then then it'll come back to it. At least it's the idea hopefully.

1276
01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:04.199
But I'll have uh, I'll have
extra three D prints for some of the

1277
01:35:04.319 --> 01:35:09.439
cases. I won't have batteries though, So if you need batteries, go

1278
01:35:09.520 --> 01:35:14.359
buy those off of Amazon. I'm
I'm guessing somewhere at Hamvension you can probably

1279
01:35:14.399 --> 01:35:17.039
buy eighteen six fifty batteries. I
bet it won't be hard to find.

1280
01:35:17.800 --> 01:35:20.239
Yeah, I won't. I won't. I'm not printing that, but they

1281
01:35:20.319 --> 01:35:24.119
have that case. That's the other
thing is that the three D printer space

1282
01:35:24.199 --> 01:35:27.239
is absolutely exploded with this kind of
stuff. So if you bring up like

1283
01:35:28.199 --> 01:35:31.039
printables, let's see, yeah,
it's on printables dot com. I think,

1284
01:35:31.680 --> 01:35:35.640
Josh, can you in the chat, can you post the link to

1285
01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:43.159
the met the the device that you
have the print for and the battery.

1286
01:35:43.920 --> 01:35:50.560
Uh yeah, so now I get
to play the the Oldfi Yeah yeah,

1287
01:35:50.840 --> 01:35:55.640
yeah. No, So let's see, I'll take the I'll get the V

1288
01:35:55.800 --> 01:35:59.880
three and then the battery just so
you guys can get the right one.

1289
01:36:00.399 --> 01:36:01.600
I put the V three in the
chat already. Oh okay, okay,

1290
01:36:02.359 --> 01:36:05.840
earlier, but I'll buy one,
print the case, and then maybe on

1291
01:36:05.920 --> 01:36:10.279
Wednesday, night, we can flash
it or something. You'll you'll have it

1292
01:36:10.359 --> 01:36:13.319
done in three minutes. It's it's
super easy. It's yeah, yeah,

1293
01:36:13.800 --> 01:36:18.039
it's very easy. Kyle has more
money than time, so it's very true.

1294
01:36:19.640 --> 01:36:23.039
That's the case. I had sent
you those files a while back,

1295
01:36:23.520 --> 01:36:25.960
Kyle and asked you to print me
one of those. Yeah. Yeah,

1296
01:36:25.960 --> 01:36:31.039
I'll just print my own now.
Yeah, yeah, exactly. So yeah,

1297
01:36:31.560 --> 01:36:39.279
it should be it should be,
should be fine. I'm looking forward

1298
01:36:39.279 --> 01:36:44.119
to seeing this. I'm seeing what
happens to it. Well, what's cool

1299
01:36:44.159 --> 01:36:47.199
is we'll be able to run like
pretty much all day with most of these,

1300
01:36:47.279 --> 01:36:50.840
and I know mine will have GPS, so that's gonna be fun.

1301
01:36:53.880 --> 01:36:57.800
Uh the T beam has GPS,
does it not? The T beam is

1302
01:36:57.920 --> 01:37:00.159
GPS. That's right, Yeah,
that's the one I'll be run. Well,

1303
01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:03.039
that's the one I'll be running in
the truck. Does somebody have a

1304
01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:08.800
print for the T bean. Yeah's
the one. That's what Josh has right

1305
01:37:08.840 --> 01:37:11.760
there. Okay, so let me
let me grab the other one. So

1306
01:37:11.840 --> 01:37:15.000
yeah, there's I'll drop all the
three D prints that you that you need

1307
01:37:15.079 --> 01:37:20.319
to Okay, so the first link
is going to be the batterizes. All

1308
01:37:20.399 --> 01:37:25.600
right, there's the batteries and then
let me go to the web here and

1309
01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:29.000
I'll bring up printables. So this
is the hell Tech V three is probably

1310
01:37:29.000 --> 01:37:32.039
the easiest one to make because it's
it's so small and I've been doing this

1311
01:37:33.319 --> 01:37:39.119
this case, which is it's just
a it's pretty tacticol looking. So that's

1312
01:37:39.199 --> 01:37:42.039
the one. And the cool thing
about that is there's like literally a billion

1313
01:37:42.119 --> 01:37:45.880
options for it, different look and
feel. Bass plates that have switches for

1314
01:37:46.000 --> 01:37:49.520
power on, power off, GPS, power on, power off. They

1315
01:37:49.560 --> 01:37:54.560
also have a battery back that will
take eighteen six fifties. This is the

1316
01:37:54.600 --> 01:37:58.920
eighteen six fifty battery back. So
I'll hey, the Josh, the case

1317
01:37:58.920 --> 01:38:01.800
you're printing for me, take this
these batteries you just linked. Yeah they

1318
01:38:01.800 --> 01:38:08.239
should fit. Okay, Okay,
I'm looking through Amazon or device as a

1319
01:38:08.640 --> 01:38:14.600
in stock b available before I leave
on Wednesday, b eighteen. It taks

1320
01:38:14.640 --> 01:38:18.239
eighteen six fifties and the it has
the antenna on the on the top you

1321
01:38:18.319 --> 01:38:24.920
know or the narrow side. Look
at the look at the t beam available.

1322
01:38:25.079 --> 01:38:27.159
Yeah. I bought mine from lily
Go. So I don't even know

1323
01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:30.840
if you can get those Anmazon.
Should I print a case for one of

1324
01:38:30.880 --> 01:38:36.960
the ones that you're gonna let me
use. Yeah, and which sure the

1325
01:38:38.039 --> 01:38:40.439
link I just dropped in the chat. If you go through it, you

1326
01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:43.720
probably want the ones that don't have
any power switches because you're just gonna run

1327
01:38:43.760 --> 01:38:47.920
the bear hell Tech with the battery
and and then whatever model you want.

1328
01:38:47.960 --> 01:38:51.399
So you need the face plate the
center with everything kind of mounts to the

1329
01:38:51.439 --> 01:38:55.279
center, and then the back plate
is for the battery. But take a

1330
01:38:55.319 --> 01:38:57.840
look at this case. Look how
cool that case is. It's just a

1331
01:38:57.920 --> 01:39:01.039
tiny little thing. And it's like
there's so was all for the same board.

1332
01:39:01.479 --> 01:39:03.920
Uh huh, they're all for the
hell Tech detory. Yeah, so

1333
01:39:04.000 --> 01:39:06.520
look at it. Look at that
with the little SMA connection on the side.

1334
01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:11.439
Then there's the Helltech in place with
the battery and the battery. So

1335
01:39:11.600 --> 01:39:14.640
that's not the t beam, that's
something different. That's the hell Tech v

1336
01:39:15.039 --> 01:39:17.479
the hell Tech. That's the one
that recommend Yeah, that's the one that

1337
01:39:17.960 --> 01:39:24.279
Carlos was linking earlier. That Carlos
linked in the zoom chat. Oh oh,

1338
01:39:24.359 --> 01:39:27.560
the second that's the that's the Princibles
link you just dropped, Josh,

1339
01:39:27.920 --> 01:39:30.399
uh that this is a different case. But the case I dropped is yes,

1340
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:34.159
the principles one, that's the one
I recommend you go with. Well,

1341
01:39:34.199 --> 01:39:38.439
I like that one. Uh so
the only downside with this me let

1342
01:39:38.439 --> 01:39:41.359
me show you the downside. So
all of you Hamm radio operators will probably

1343
01:39:41.359 --> 01:39:43.920
figure this out. Let me find
a good picture of it. So the

1344
01:39:44.079 --> 01:39:46.960
lanyard hole is on the lower right
hand side, so if you put it

1345
01:39:47.039 --> 01:39:49.600
around your neck or hang it,
the intent is going to be upside down.

1346
01:39:50.399 --> 01:39:54.479
So as long as it's vertical,
it's still it's okay. So you

1347
01:39:54.560 --> 01:39:58.359
see that, do you see the
landing hole there? And then yeah?

1348
01:39:58.680 --> 01:40:02.000
That was it perfect? Yeah?
Yeah, So the cool thing with the

1349
01:40:02.319 --> 01:40:04.680
other one I dropped. Let me
go back to it. So the antenna

1350
01:40:04.720 --> 01:40:08.800
mounts on the top, and so
if you wanted to put a better antenna

1351
01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:11.960
like they have here, that's simple. It's you know, you can swap

1352
01:40:12.039 --> 01:40:15.279
the intent out. You can go
with the little ones like that or the

1353
01:40:15.600 --> 01:40:17.239
you lay it on its side and
the the antennas I showed earlier, will

1354
01:40:17.319 --> 01:40:20.960
ninety degree bend, which is cool. Yeah, that's the GPS wiring.

1355
01:40:21.079 --> 01:40:26.520
That's so simple. This is like
easy easy, but yeah, you can

1356
01:40:26.560 --> 01:40:30.760
see it's all just cool. Do
you have do you have a case printed

1357
01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:34.720
for the T Beam. I don't. I have like three T beams.

1358
01:40:34.720 --> 01:40:36.800
I should probably put them in cases. The problem I had with the T

1359
01:40:38.000 --> 01:40:44.720
Beam is the batteries the eighteen six
fifties. I was always swapping them ount

1360
01:40:44.800 --> 01:40:46.079
or I had him on chargers all
the time, and I just got tired

1361
01:40:46.119 --> 01:40:48.600
of taking it out of the case
because the case I had, and I

1362
01:40:48.680 --> 01:40:51.479
was like, I'm just gonna I'm
gonna wave for a little while and just

1363
01:40:51.560 --> 01:40:56.880
let them be. You're gonna need
other parts though, because like, how

1364
01:40:56.960 --> 01:41:01.960
does the so this says that it
takes in eighteen six fifty No? You

1365
01:41:03.479 --> 01:41:06.199
no? Do you use the link
that I dropped to the batteries the thirty

1366
01:41:06.239 --> 01:41:10.800
three hundred million hours? Well,
Jason, do you do you have these

1367
01:41:10.880 --> 01:41:13.560
batteries? Do I? I don't
have to need to do anything. I

1368
01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:15.880
don't have the battery. I just
ordered the batteries from the link Josh shared.

1369
01:41:16.000 --> 01:41:19.039
I do not have batteries for the
eighteen for the hell Tech. The

1370
01:41:19.159 --> 01:41:23.000
Helltech will run on USBC. So
if you have it that mic, that

1371
01:41:23.119 --> 01:41:26.479
battery brick you have, I'm not
carrying that around, but it'll run for

1372
01:41:26.560 --> 01:41:30.159
that if you want to. So, but the only way to use the

1373
01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:32.159
the battery that Josh dropped is to
get a three D printed case. The

1374
01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:36.359
case is that I have don't hold
a battery. So so that's what I'm

1375
01:41:36.680 --> 01:41:40.520
So, if you print a case
for these mic and order a battery,

1376
01:41:40.640 --> 01:41:42.920
then you can have one of my
motems and then you'll be good to go.

1377
01:41:43.279 --> 01:41:46.159
Right, But I would rather use
that LiPo cellan the than the eighteen

1378
01:41:46.279 --> 01:41:48.920
six fifty. That's the link.
I thought, that's that's that's the one

1379
01:41:48.960 --> 01:41:54.199
I'm talking about. Well, different
link then the three thousand million emp hour

1380
01:41:54.960 --> 01:41:58.720
little flat the little fat battery three
thousand I'm looking at them, I'm looking

1381
01:41:58.720 --> 01:42:00.600
at I'm looking at the case,
the three D printed thing this, yeah,

1382
01:42:00.720 --> 01:42:05.720
so you no, there's also there's
multiple options for batteries on this case.

1383
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:10.199
So if you if you scroll down
to files right so down towards the

1384
01:42:10.279 --> 01:42:14.119
bottom, see how there's a there's
a really big one. The big one

1385
01:42:14.239 --> 01:42:16.560
is for eighteen six fifties, right, so you'd put an eighteen six fifty

1386
01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:18.520
in here, but no, we're
not going to do that. You're going

1387
01:42:18.600 --> 01:42:23.600
to go with the seven millimeter would
be fine. Where's the seven millimeter?

1388
01:42:23.880 --> 01:42:26.520
Yeah, so one of these seven
millimeters would be fine. So you just

1389
01:42:26.640 --> 01:42:30.720
slap the battery underneath the seven millimeter
one and it just lives in there.

1390
01:42:30.920 --> 01:42:33.880
That's all you do. Yeah,
there's too many files for my brain to

1391
01:42:33.960 --> 01:42:42.520
wrap my head around. Which okay, I have extra I have extra shells

1392
01:42:42.600 --> 01:42:45.399
that I'll be bringing, so you
guys can can color coordinate however you'd like.

1393
01:42:46.199 --> 01:42:53.000
Which printer should I be buying to
print? Yeah? See, this

1394
01:42:53.119 --> 01:42:56.439
is how it gets expensive, right, yeah, right right, Just text

1395
01:42:56.560 --> 01:42:59.399
me the specific file that I need. There's too many. You know how

1396
01:42:59.479 --> 01:43:02.279
dumb I am with computers. Okay, Mike, print me, print me

1397
01:43:02.359 --> 01:43:05.800
a file, print me a case
as well well that I want to.

1398
01:43:05.880 --> 01:43:11.479
I want to give a disclaimer here. My three D printer is not printing

1399
01:43:11.680 --> 01:43:14.880
very well right now. I don't
know what is, so it's probably gonna

1400
01:43:14.880 --> 01:43:17.159
be trouble and I'm gonna end up
with nothing. So whatever Josh is printing

1401
01:43:17.600 --> 01:43:21.039
is going to be one hundred billion
times better than anything. I'll be.

1402
01:43:21.680 --> 01:43:25.000
Well, he's printing, he's printing
one for me. But I have four

1403
01:43:25.039 --> 01:43:28.159
of these things. So that's why
I'm If someone wants to, I think

1404
01:43:28.199 --> 01:43:30.720
I just need to replace the nozzle
because I've been I've like my bed should

1405
01:43:30.760 --> 01:43:38.119
be level but it's like it's not
doing well. Yeah, So the the

1406
01:43:38.199 --> 01:43:42.479
only printer I recommend right now is
the Bamboos. That is well, I

1407
01:43:42.600 --> 01:43:45.920
got one of them. More so
that's what I'm doing with. I know

1408
01:43:46.000 --> 01:43:49.319
people hate when I recommend it because
it basically ships your stuff to China,

1409
01:43:49.399 --> 01:43:54.039
but I don't care. I never
have to mess with it. It's just

1410
01:43:55.119 --> 01:43:58.279
nah, that's what you have,
is one of the Bamboos. Yeah,

1411
01:43:58.479 --> 01:44:01.800
I love or just a single no
and I and I'm kind of pissed that

1412
01:44:01.880 --> 01:44:05.560
I didn't get the four color caddy
at this point because so this thing is

1413
01:44:05.680 --> 01:44:11.319
seven hundred bucks, which is insane. That's like you're thinking that's really expensive.

1414
01:44:11.560 --> 01:44:16.000
No, no, that's cheap for
a four filament caddy and an enclosed

1415
01:44:16.079 --> 01:44:20.239
printer. And it does auto leveling, it does everything. This thing is

1416
01:44:20.319 --> 01:44:25.840
as turnkey as you could possibly get. It is just awesome. Oh no,

1417
01:44:26.039 --> 01:44:29.520
if you don't if you don't want
the fore color, it's seven hundred.

1418
01:44:29.520 --> 01:44:30.199
But if you do want the four
color, it's nine to forty nine.

1419
01:44:30.199 --> 01:44:32.399
So okay, that's that's a little
more expensive, but yeah, it's

1420
01:44:32.479 --> 01:44:36.600
it's but but it requires an Internet
connection and ships all your data into China.

1421
01:44:38.960 --> 01:44:41.319
Right, So if you're if you're
planning on you might Yeah, if

1422
01:44:41.359 --> 01:44:45.479
you're planning on print printing, glock
lowers don't buy that way? Why internet

1423
01:44:45.560 --> 01:44:50.560
connection? Is it just a good
question for question? It has remote admin

1424
01:44:50.680 --> 01:44:55.760
control, so you can use the
phone app to to remote into the printer

1425
01:44:55.920 --> 01:44:59.880
and you can start pressing the price. Is it just a one time fee?

1426
01:45:00.079 --> 01:45:01.920
You what? What is it?
No? Fie? I mean there's

1427
01:45:01.920 --> 01:45:05.399
no monthly. You just pay the
thing and you're done. So if you

1428
01:45:05.439 --> 01:45:09.039
didn't want to go with that,
the bamboo, what would be another?

1429
01:45:11.039 --> 01:45:15.439
Uh? The what's the one that's
been around forever? That? Yes,

1430
01:45:15.520 --> 01:45:20.199
the PRUSA? The PRUSA what are
they? Mark four? Now, yeah,

1431
01:45:20.239 --> 01:45:25.720
there's several of them, but I
have a Mark three. Pruss are

1432
01:45:25.840 --> 01:45:30.000
are pretty rock solid, okay,
I think. So it's looking at the

1433
01:45:30.039 --> 01:45:34.920
files. You've got a front,
a something in a bat This is all

1434
01:45:35.000 --> 01:45:38.920
new to me, you guys.
Yeah, yeah, So it's it's you

1435
01:45:39.000 --> 01:45:43.920
need a top cover the middle part
that the but I'm using I'm using them

1436
01:45:44.600 --> 01:45:49.000
that they are in the files.
So you've got front and then it looks

1437
01:45:49.039 --> 01:45:53.359
like they have like you get one
with circles or hexagons or dots. So

1438
01:45:53.479 --> 01:45:58.039
a front right, that's just looking
for a frame, which maybe you're calling

1439
01:45:58.079 --> 01:46:01.600
the middle the frame and the frames
a better word. Well that's what that's

1440
01:46:01.640 --> 01:46:05.319
how it's labeled in the file.
And then a back. So I see

1441
01:46:05.319 --> 01:46:12.239
a back for an eighteen six fifty
or a back with that's like five millimeters

1442
01:46:12.319 --> 01:46:16.199
seven millimeter, yeah, so you
a seven millimeter is fine. Seven millimeters

1443
01:46:16.279 --> 01:46:19.960
back. And when you print the
frame, that's just the depth. The

1444
01:46:20.039 --> 01:46:26.760
depth, oh, the depth.
So the frame you only need a print

1445
01:46:26.800 --> 01:46:29.600
one. That's just no switches.
You want no power switches. You just

1446
01:46:29.720 --> 01:46:33.680
need the single SMA connection. That's
it. No switches because you're not I

1447
01:46:33.760 --> 01:46:43.439
mean unless the SMA connections on a
on a mew fl. Uh. I

1448
01:46:43.479 --> 01:46:46.479
mean they have a hole for SMA. That's what the print does. Okay,

1449
01:46:46.880 --> 01:46:50.439
Well, I'm just like, I'm
looking at stuff that's available to get

1450
01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:55.720
here before I leave, and none
of it has SMA. So you have

1451
01:46:55.840 --> 01:47:00.640
to get either the little pig till
that's built in, or you can get

1452
01:47:00.720 --> 01:47:03.640
something with them with a UFL that
goes to anything, and then you can

1453
01:47:03.680 --> 01:47:12.960
go to the UFL to SMA.
Sure, I got the uh, I

1454
01:47:13.039 --> 01:47:16.840
got the ip X SMA jumpers for
mine. So I have I have a

1455
01:47:17.199 --> 01:47:19.640
bag of those. It's like five
of them in a bag something like that.

1456
01:47:20.000 --> 01:47:25.159
So I've got multiple options, but
I'm gonna bring I'm gonna bring the

1457
01:47:25.199 --> 01:47:28.439
whole box of what I've got to
him mentioned and see what we so what

1458
01:47:28.600 --> 01:47:34.199
kind of trouble we can cause with
it? So I want, let's just

1459
01:47:34.239 --> 01:47:40.520
go down this rabbit hole. Okay, here's a front, okay, whatever,

1460
01:47:43.000 --> 01:47:45.560
but that's not where the SMA goes, right, So just the front

1461
01:47:45.640 --> 01:47:49.439
with the screen. The SMA goes
in the frame. There's ale which is

1462
01:47:49.520 --> 01:47:55.159
the Okay, okay, all right, I'll look through that and yeah,

1463
01:47:55.239 --> 01:47:57.960
so you just you get the frame
with no switches, just the SMA,

1464
01:47:58.000 --> 01:47:59.880
and then you to just pick a
front and a back and then you need

1465
01:47:59.880 --> 01:48:02.319
to print two buttons, and I
recommend you go with the medium hype buttons.

1466
01:48:03.239 --> 01:48:06.880
All right, I think I'm frankled
this one. How about them ham

1467
01:48:08.039 --> 01:48:12.880
radios? We just carried to each
other. I was like, man,

1468
01:48:12.960 --> 01:48:19.000
we went down a rabbit hole something
that everyone did you guys, did you

1469
01:48:19.079 --> 01:48:24.840
guys decide on did you guys just
side on a different frequency? Simple frequency?

1470
01:48:25.920 --> 01:48:30.960
In Josh's video, he did,
Oh, well, that was a

1471
01:48:30.119 --> 01:48:33.520
past one, the one you just
posted today, the whole, but the

1472
01:48:33.560 --> 01:48:36.039
frequencies that were set to it was
that was from the past. That was

1473
01:48:36.079 --> 01:48:41.039
a radio that I had from last
year's hamvention. So whatever you guys do,

1474
01:48:41.279 --> 01:48:43.800
just I don't care. I'll just
well, you said in the video

1475
01:48:43.880 --> 01:48:48.880
where we used one four six five
eight for all the YouTubers cam radio convention

1476
01:48:49.039 --> 01:48:55.239
stuff, we use one four eight. We used one four six four five

1477
01:48:55.800 --> 01:48:59.760
at Huntsville last year. So what
are we using it on him? I

1478
01:48:59.760 --> 01:49:02.960
don't know. I don't know.
Six top four eight four six times.

1479
01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:06.640
That's what we used in Ham.
Cash there you got. I thought that's

1480
01:49:06.640 --> 01:49:11.159
what we usually used. I have. The only reason I know it was

1481
01:49:11.199 --> 01:49:14.239
six top four five is because I
still have it programmed in my FtM six

1482
01:49:14.319 --> 01:49:18.000
thousand. But take a vote,
six top four eight is fine. I

1483
01:49:18.079 --> 01:49:21.000
don't care. I don't care.
I just don't want to know what to

1484
01:49:21.119 --> 01:49:29.159
tell everybody. I've had a few
people emails. I told them one for

1485
01:49:29.439 --> 01:49:33.319
six four eight said okay, let's
let's use that. Yeah, right,

1486
01:49:33.800 --> 01:49:40.840
let's use one forty forty eight.
That's fine, all right. You guys

1487
01:49:40.920 --> 01:49:44.840
don't pass around with female I sees
two thirteen, fill it out and distributed

create my own band plans and uh frequency

1491
01:50:00.600 --> 01:50:08.199

my god. Eight Yeah, James
James quirky QRP. James says, I'd

1495
01:50:23.399 --> 01:50:26.720
add the YouTuber samd Fest frequency to
my chart if it didn't change every five

1496
01:50:26.800 --> 01:50:30.600
minutes. Yeah, exactly. It
actually changes every Hamfest change, not every

1497
01:50:30.640 --> 01:50:34.119
five minutes. But bro, do

1500
01:50:41.600 --> 01:50:44.760
time or yeah. I bring a
radio and an mention every year and use

1501
01:50:44.800 --> 01:50:47.039

1504
01:50:59.039 --> 01:51:04.479
We're not gonna talk about but talk
about talked about neshtag for Instagram and

1505
01:51:04.520 --> 01:51:10.159
all that crap. Ham mention twenty
twenty four, I think is what would

1506
01:51:10.159 --> 01:51:14.600
normally use. Yeah, ham mention
twenty twenty four. I'm going to buck

1507
01:51:14.640 --> 01:51:17.640
the trend and I'm gonna go with
twenty twenty five. I think, yeah,

1508
01:51:18.239 --> 01:51:20.920
I'll be I'm going to use that. I plan on use that one

1509
01:51:20.960 --> 01:51:28.159
next year. Was just ahead of
the Yeah, yeah, that's it.

1510
01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:31.840
That's what it is. Yeah,
achieving. I'm a half a bottle of

1511
01:51:31.840 --> 01:51:34.039
whiskey down. I don't know what
you all have been drinking. I think

1512
01:51:34.159 --> 01:51:36.760
I think we're almost two hours in. I think we're gonna shut it down.

1513
01:51:36.840 --> 01:51:40.720
I'm dying. Yeah yeah, yeah, the rails a while ago,

1514
01:51:40.920 --> 01:51:43.520
so oh yeah, a while ago. Yeah, this is a happy hour.

1515
01:51:43.520 --> 01:51:46.600
It's not always about him reading.
That's great. But so you're saying

1516
01:51:46.640 --> 01:51:50.840
it's like, you know, clubhouse
got it? Yeah yeah, yeah,

1517
01:51:50.920 --> 01:51:59.359
something like that, but better.
Yeah. So, well you inspired me

1518
01:51:59.439 --> 01:52:02.640
this summer. H oh there you
go. Oh nice, You're gonna do

1519
01:52:02.680 --> 01:52:10.560
the work challenge yep, yep ye
little android tablet to run that program.

1520
01:52:10.640 --> 01:52:15.840
That's really sweet that ft an mm
hmm. Yeah, Adam Adam was the

1521
01:52:15.840 --> 01:52:19.000
first one out of the shoot with
a successful uh one pound PoTA challenge activation,

1522
01:52:19.079 --> 01:52:24.600
which is he did a really good
job. That was just But I

1523
01:52:24.640 --> 01:52:26.800
mean, how cool is it?
Honestly, guys, how cool is it

1524
01:52:26.880 --> 01:52:31.720
that you can have a one pound
bag of radio gear, battery, radio

1525
01:52:31.880 --> 01:52:38.760
antenna, all the accoutrement and you
can do single sideband CW and digital and

1526
01:52:38.880 --> 01:52:42.039
you can activate a PODA with it
that you can do single sideman from that,

1527
01:52:42.119 --> 01:52:45.840
I'm impressed. It does ridiculous.
Not only can you do single sidemand

1528
01:52:45.880 --> 01:52:50.119
with it, it has an internal
microphone and a speaker. I think I

1529
01:52:50.159 --> 01:52:54.640
would trade that and go a little
bit heavier in weight and use the FX

1530
01:52:54.680 --> 01:52:57.640
fur CR rather than that thing.
Sure, no question, But that was

1531
01:52:57.840 --> 01:53:00.359
I said it to one pound.
So when the max when it it's next

1532
01:53:00.359 --> 01:53:02.159
to a single side band, we'll
be able to use that. You know,

1533
01:53:02.399 --> 01:53:05.119
there'll be more radios that come out. Sure, Sure, it's still

1534
01:53:05.159 --> 01:53:09.119
a cool challenge. Yeah, I
still haven't built my c mix from last

1535
01:53:09.199 --> 01:53:13.720
year. I have haven't either.
Well, I thought he would have had

1536
01:53:13.760 --> 01:53:15.920
it. I thought he would have
had it updated to do Sideman by now,

1537
01:53:15.960 --> 01:53:19.199
because that's what they were toting last
year, but they haven't done that

1538
01:53:19.319 --> 01:53:23.800
update yet. I was talking to
Mike and eight yo and he said,

1539
01:53:24.640 --> 01:53:26.479
you got the same kid as I
did. I'm like, yeah, he

1540
01:53:26.560 --> 01:53:32.560
goes, it's missing parts. I'm
like, oh wow, that's a I

1541
01:53:32.680 --> 01:53:35.800
guarantee he will be at That guy
whatever his name is, will be at

1542
01:53:35.840 --> 01:53:40.560
Four Days and again huns. Yeah. Yeah, he'll be at Four Days

1543
01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:43.199
and May again with some other kind
of trinket this year. He has been

1544
01:53:43.239 --> 01:53:49.199
for the last three years, so
always. Yeah. It's every time I

1545
01:53:49.319 --> 01:53:53.720
bump into somebody with the QMX,
they're like, oh, you build yours

1546
01:53:53.800 --> 01:53:56.000
yet. I'm like, no,
I haven't. He's like, that's probably

1547
01:53:56.079 --> 01:53:58.920
good. The last couple of firmwars
have been kind of broken and I'm like,

1548
01:53:59.000 --> 01:54:03.159
oh, okay, justified it being
lazy. I guess the firmer has

1549
01:54:03.199 --> 01:54:09.399

hopefully the weather's nice. Smoke a bunch

1564
01:55:06.720 --> 01:55:11.359

get out, Jason. I think I'm

1567
01:55:16.199 --> 01:55:20.239
gonna give you a lighter or two
of mine that you can help bring.

1568
01:55:20.800 --> 01:55:24.560
Sure, Yeah, that's fine.
Oh something I was gonna mention earlier and

1569
01:55:24.600 --> 01:55:29.560
I forgot. If you are driving, bring a chair, or three.

1570
01:55:29.920 --> 01:55:34.000
Yes, help us. I am
I I have I now have five chairs

1571
01:55:34.039 --> 01:55:38.039
in my r V camp and my
that I keep in my RV. So

1572
01:55:38.560 --> 01:55:42.239
if if you are driving, or
you if you want to pack a chair

1573
01:55:42.840 --> 01:55:45.039
and check it on a plane,
bring a chair. We cannot have too

1574
01:55:45.079 --> 01:55:47.520
many chairs, it's not possible.
So bring a chair if you can,

1575
01:55:48.239 --> 01:55:51.399
and bring an extra chair so that
someone who can't bring a chair will have

1576
01:55:51.479 --> 01:55:55.680
a chair. So I said that
last year and it worked out fine last

1577
01:55:55.760 --> 01:56:01.880
year. So yeah, go ahead. We're throwing some super chats. And

1578

Walmart's got chairs for like eight ninety
nine right now for for adult chairs that

1579
01:56:08.760 --> 01:56:13.680
you could just throw in the RV. And and I think I've got enough

1580
01:56:13.760 --> 01:56:15.560
crap in my RV right now.
I don't need to I don't need to

1581
01:56:15.960 --> 01:56:19.840
add anything else. So those of
you, those of you who are driving

1582
01:56:19.880 --> 01:56:24.239
in a hand vension, stop at
Walmart and get a couple of cheap ass
