00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:06.039
John Crook and he shows up about
fifty percent of the time. He's good.

52
00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:14.120
Uh. The guys from Gigaparts didn't
make it. Yeah, um yeah.

53
00:04:14.240 --> 00:04:18.600
So Hank Strange has a new podcast
apparently that I saw on LinkedIn today

54
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:27.959
called Van no Sewer Instead of Connoisseur, it's Vans and it's called correct Yeah.

55
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:33.720
It's kind of like Stranger puluoza um
and uh yeah, got a play

56
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:39.279
on words. It's a play on
words. But um he uh. I

57
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:41.800
haven't listened to the podcast yet.
I just learned about it earlier today.

58
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:47.120
And I think that he talks about
like van builds for he had a um,

59
00:04:47.319 --> 00:04:51.079
like an overlanding looking van on the
thumbnail today, So I gotta go

60
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.839
check that out. And I texted
him like Kyle's got the Charlie b dance

61
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.120
going on there. Um, I
texted him, and I'm like, dude,

62
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.439
first of all, Arson and you're
invited, But second of all,

63
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:05.000
I've been looking at buying and doing
a van build of my own. So

64
00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:08.959
we need to get together and do
some stuff. So I'm hoping that he

65
00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:12.360
responds to me at some point in
time. He's really busy, I think,

66
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:16.240
But yeah, so he wasn't there. Okay, there, Mike,

67
00:05:16.240 --> 00:05:23.319
you're gonna in the background right now? That looks like Captain Jackson? Is

68
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:32.160
that? Okay? Jackspeare you don't
understand that is not Captain Jackson Bolton.

69
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:36.519
No, that is Michael Bolton playing
Captain Jack Sparrow and one of the funniest

70
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:42.720
YouTube videos ever. And I play
this for Mike driving a hand ham cation

71
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:55.600
and he lost his mind. I
can see that. I can see a

72
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.399
smoke in a pit pigeon. No, he's kissing it. It's a seagull.

73
00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.240
How do you find it on YouTube? It's like just type in the

74
00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:10.240
Jack Sparrow featuring job featuring Michael Bolton. Oh gosh, okay, yeah no,

75
00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:12.920

76
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:17.120
no, it's okay, Sor it's
Shenana gad you look yeah. So

77
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:20.040
um, Vince, I know you
can't stay long. So what's going on?

78
00:06:20.079 --> 00:06:24.160
Man? Are you hey? I'm
good, thanks man, I'm here

79
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:27.279
for my twice a year appearance,
the last one being you know, like

80
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:31.160
few year's eve, and uh.
I have been embracing the world of QRP

81
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:36.040
because I'm hanging out with people who
are terrible enablers. Thomas, I'm talking

82
00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:43.120
about you, um and we got
influence. He is he is a bad

83
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:46.000
influence. We're talking about you know, weaver arborous, throw weight and throw

84
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.079
a line today back and forth.
So you know, there accept no substitute.

85
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.600
So I suspect that there'll be an
Amazon purchase in my near future.

86
00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.399
Mine the other day. Well,
and so we don't have like real tall

87
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:03.639
trees out here in Western Canada.
There's very few of them. So I

88
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:09.079
tend to set up my portable antenna
is either horizontally, you know, I

89
00:07:09.399 --> 00:07:11.959
string a wire up into a tree
as tall as I can reach a branch

90
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:15.839
or that I feel like I want
to hook my leather man up, or

91
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:18.079
you know, set up a vertical
right. So, anyway, I've been

92
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:24.199
out doing doing a whole bunch of
QRP stuff. And it's bicycling weather finally,

93
00:07:24.839 --> 00:07:29.040
so I've been taking a page from
from Jim's book and for Jaw and

94
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.480
throwing a bunch of QRP g here
on my bike and finding a park and

95
00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:36.519
setting up and playing. That's that's
been fun. I got a whole pile

96
00:07:36.519 --> 00:07:40.480
of antennas that I want to take
out the field day and play with and

97
00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:46.680
get an article up on qrper dot
com in coming weeks to to see which

98
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:50.600
one was most effective in that setting. So it will be interesting. Yeah,

99
00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:54.800
that's what's going on with my space. Cool. Well, I'm glad

100
00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:58.439
you, glad you joined us tonight. Thanks. Testing out new intends is

101
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.680
fun. I've got like three of
them I going to do so. Yeah,

102
00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:03.600
but I'm looking for I'm looking for
some q r O stuff because I

103
00:08:03.639 --> 00:08:09.720
want to see if I can melt
anything again. But that's just kind of

104
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.079
how I am. So QRP is
fun, but it's not that fun.

105
00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:16.519
I don't really enjoy it that much
myself, but yeah, I enjoy the

106
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.240
challenge of it more than yes,
you know. Yeah, like that's that's

107
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:26.279
cool. You you need to to
get your gear in really good efficient order

108
00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:28.040
to be able to be arged to
make the contact. And I'm going to

109
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:33.720
do field day as a QRP entry, which I've never tried before, so

110
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:39.559
yeah, I'm going hard mode.
Yeah, well right, right, yeah,

111
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.519
right, Vince, have you dipped
into the world of tom bin bags

112
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:48.879
yet? Thomas has been trying to
enable me and a few others too,

113
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:52.320
So no, I have got into
tom Bin's. Yeah, they're very good.

114
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.759
Yeah, I made the mistake of
joining their email list. Yeah,

115
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:01.399
there's some email lists. Yea.
They may be still my beating heart every

116
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.720
every time they come out with they
say, oh, these are back in

117
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:07.120
stock, or we've got this in
a different color or something like that,

118
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:09.240
and then I'm like, and then
I go look at the price tag and

119
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:13.000
I haven't bought one yet. They're
very good quality. They're very good.

120
00:09:13.080 --> 00:09:18.480
Question the little cheapie you know,
cube blitz that you you store stuff with,

121
00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:20.279
they're they're inexpensive. And yeah,
I've putting a lot of my QRP

122
00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:24.320
stuff in them. And I've got
the handy little thing. The handy little

123
00:09:24.320 --> 00:09:26.840
thing is probably the entry drug for
tom Benn. Go get a handy little

124
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:31.080
thing. Handy little thing, It's
called a handy little HLT handy little thing.

125
00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.559
And and every time I go look
those up, they're in how shall

126
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.480
I say this, They're in colors
that might go in a Pride flag.

127
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:43.440
Oh yeah, but that's what you
want. Just drop it. You'll never

128
00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.360
lose it, You'll never lose it. Well, that's true, that's true.

129
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.639
Yeah, Yeah, they're just in
dumb, dumb looking colors. I'd

130
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.039
like I'd like a more gray man
color than that. So well, you

131
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.120
know, that's just me. You
know. It was great to come down

132
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:58.919
to hand Venture to meet y'all too. Yes, that was tremendous. I've

133
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:03.679
never been my first time there.
I'm glad I had really good shoes and

134
00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:09.080
yeah, you need that. I
brought a little cash. My declaration at

135
00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:11.399
the border was very modest, and
so I'm very proud of myself that I

136
00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:16.960
didn't overspend. But tactically I brought
the wrong bag to pack my gear in,

137
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.120
and I brought a backpack that was
too small, so I landed up

138
00:10:22.240 --> 00:10:24.320
using one of my pieces of carry
on because I flew to Ontario and drove

139
00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.039
down to Dayton a piece of my
carry on. So no, I'm I

140
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:33.159
generally don't roll tom Bidden style.
I woll Walmart style, and I found

141
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:37.399
myself in a Walmart store the very
next morning after I landed, looking at

142
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:41.440
lunch bags and anything else to fit
you know, my alircraft and my HB,

143
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:43.200
one B and all the rest of
my gear into So I now have

144
00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:48.039
an assortment of lunch bags. There
you go, and you know they hold

145
00:10:48.039 --> 00:10:52.960
my radios works for now, lunch
bags for years. Oh yeah, Yeah,

146
00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.639
you don't have to spin a lot
on bags. But if you do,

147
00:10:56.840 --> 00:11:00.600
two or three years down the road, after you spend that money,

148
00:11:00.639 --> 00:11:05.000
you'll notice where that money went.
Yeah, most of the time, that's

149
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.559
the time. So I've replaced a
lot of bags that I got for cheap

150
00:11:07.600 --> 00:11:11.919
on Amazon or just somewhere, and
I'm like, well that one's worn out,

151
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.399
Let's go with something else. Now, you know, a couple of

152
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:16.639
three years. It's not bad.
I guess it's not like you have to

153
00:11:16.679 --> 00:11:18.480
buy one ever the weekend. But
you know, yeah, yeah, there's

154
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:22.399
something to be said about quality.
So that's good indeed. Cool. Well,

155
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:26.519
thanks Vince, I'm glad you stick
around. Feel free to stay as

156
00:11:26.559 --> 00:11:28.360
long as you want to. And
I know you got to go, but

157
00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:31.080
going to a club meeting or something. But yeah, I'm presenting to the

158
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:37.159
Mount Diablo a arc this evening.
Nice, okay, good, all right,

159
00:11:37.159 --> 00:11:39.200
Well, thanks for thanks for being
here. Hang out as long as

160
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.759
you want to. Yeah, thank
you. Uh Molson said he had to

161
00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:46.519
drop because his internet's acting up.
So I don't know what y'all internet situation

162
00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.080
is in Canada VNS, but you
might you might check on that for him.

163
00:11:48.519 --> 00:11:52.799
I'll send him some maple syrup and
a cable modem. That'll do it.

164
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:56.960
He was having problems on their on
their Yeah radio clubhouse. Yeah,

165
00:11:56.960 --> 00:11:58.960
he has problems about every every every
two or three weeks. He has problems

166
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.000
up there or something. The wind
is blowing in the wrong direction or something.

167
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:09.080
I don't know. Terrible. So
speaking of internet purchases. A knife

168
00:12:11.559 --> 00:12:16.039
that's not a NiFe, that is
that's the Dave Cannabury knife. Oh wow,

169
00:12:16.159 --> 00:12:20.080
that's one of the Dave Canterbury knives. And do you carry a fixed

170
00:12:20.120 --> 00:12:24.240
blade often? No? I bought
this for deer carving. Oh nyo,

171
00:12:24.360 --> 00:12:28.720
you got the belly for it,
not you, but the knife? Correct?

172
00:12:30.120 --> 00:12:33.679
Correct? Yes, watch this,
watch if I can hold the paper

173
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:37.360
correct. There you go. Nice. It's got a warning on it when

174
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.639
you take it out of the box. It's like very short. And I

175
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:43.360
should have bought the and and there
was an add on to buy a sheath

176
00:12:43.399 --> 00:12:45.559
for it, and I did not
buy the sheath and I'm kicking myself from

177
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:46.679
not buying the sheet. You could
probably get a kite x. Oh no,

178
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:50.519
because it's it's all tapered down the
hand to hold down. Yeah right,

179
00:12:50.639 --> 00:12:52.919
yeah, it might not kix that. Well, no, I'll probably

180
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.759
just get I've been looking at that
Booie knife that he's got. He had

181
00:12:56.799 --> 00:13:01.840
that short video on Instagram about his
buoe knife where he's sitting there and he's

182
00:13:01.879 --> 00:13:05.759
tapping the top of a buoy knife
with a log and cutting into another log

183
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.440
on yeah, cutting out a section
of the log. And I'm like,

184
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.759
that's a cool that's a cool knife. I want to go grab that.

185
00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.879
And I go over there and it's
two hundred and fifty bucks something. Yeah,

186
00:13:15.919 --> 00:13:18.519
I should wait. Good stuff,
it's good stuff. It's good.

187
00:13:18.559 --> 00:13:20.960
I'm not complaining about the price.
It's just it's good stuff. But two

188
00:13:20.039 --> 00:13:24.399
hundred bucks for a knife? You
So, Jay Baker has a good question.

189
00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.919
It's it's a high carbon. It's
high carbon, right, I believe

190
00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:31.320
that it's high carbon. Yes,
I can't imagine that Canterbury would put out

191
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:33.360
something stainless because high carbon. You
could use it to strike the ridge on

192
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:37.879
a phariseem Rod correct. Yes,
In fact, he does that in one

193
00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.120
of his videos. Yeah, so
yeah, he um. I believe it's

194
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:45.879
high carbon um. I don't remember
right now, but if you go to

195
00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.559
self Reliance Outfitters dot com you'll see
it there. This is called I'll tell

196
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:50.919
you what it's called. He's got
a bunch of him there. In fact,

197
00:13:50.960 --> 00:13:56.720
he's got a whole knife section there. Uh Pathfinder knife Shop, that's

198
00:13:56.720 --> 00:13:58.559
what he calls. Yeah, good
stuff, It's great. It's the first

199
00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.759
one I've ever bought. I've been
wanting to buy one for a while and

200
00:14:01.799 --> 00:14:03.840
I'm like, you know what,
and he had a sale on it or

201
00:14:03.840 --> 00:14:07.679
something like that. I'm like that
that would be an excellent deer carving or

202
00:14:07.799 --> 00:14:09.639
hog carving knife for the this coming
deer season. I'm like, you know,

203
00:14:09.679 --> 00:14:13.000
I'm just gonna because that booe knife
I was. I clicked on it

204
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:18.879
and I hesitated. I was like, ah, do you have a Booie

205
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.080
knife like I just carry. I
didn't say that I didn't have one,

206
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.240
but I don't have his. But
like a week and a half later,

207
00:14:24.279 --> 00:14:26.679
it was sold out. So I'm
like, well, you know, shame

208
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.279
on me. I thought it was
too expensive and he sold out of many

209
00:14:30.320 --> 00:14:33.080
ways, so, uh, so
yeah, so I got to I got

210
00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:35.720
this instead. But that's how you
that's how when you go to the Alamo,

211
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:37.759
because you know all the tours go
to the Alamo. That's how you

212
00:14:37.799 --> 00:14:41.600
know a real Texan is they're wearing
the boote knife. They're wearing the boot.

213
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.080
Yeah that's right. I thought you
sang that song like adventure. Yeah.

214
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.279
Yeah. Booie Texas is right next
to the Hunting Lease and they have

215
00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:56.720
like a thirty forty foot statue of
a Booe knife. They're right, it

216
00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.519
was statue of a knife. It's
not that's it's laying on the ground.

217
00:15:01.559 --> 00:15:05.960
It's not pointed upwards that it's like
it's like playing. It's like you could

218
00:15:05.960 --> 00:15:07.279
go up there it's and and stand
next to it, you know. But

219
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:11.480
it's it's freaking huge. Yeah,
it's a Booe knife. I mean there's

220
00:15:11.519 --> 00:15:15.440
a giant tire in Detroit. Yeah
yeah, I think I'm gonna go with

221
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:16.759
the knife out this one. But
yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah,

222
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:20.919
a knife fight. Yeah yeah,
I don't know. This one could roll

223
00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:31.279
over you that rubber slick. Yes, I have awesome Sean him Radio dude,

224
00:15:31.279 --> 00:15:33.039
what's up, man, it's been
a while since you've joined us.

225
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.440
How are you doing pretty good?
I've been been at good Will for the

226
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.480
last year, so it finally found
my way out of there and found some

227
00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.679
good deals. To him a knife, that's you know, that's it's oh,

228
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.440
I was looking forward for the last
year. Na man, Hey,

229
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:50.879
thanks for having me on. It's
good to be back here, you bet.

230
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:52.720
Yeah. Always good to always good
to have you guys over here.

231
00:15:52.759 --> 00:15:58.080
So now tell me about because I
was on my I was doing my lunchtime

232
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:03.000
live stream on Wednesday. Yeah,
and um, we were just going through

233
00:16:03.200 --> 00:16:07.559
my Amazon store talking about Father's Day
stuff and us brought up some USB and

234
00:16:07.639 --> 00:16:11.840
some always talking about batteries and solar
chargers and um um battery boxes and blah

235
00:16:11.879 --> 00:16:18.200
blah blah, and someone mentioned the
u UM what is it called AI?

236
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:22.120
Yeah, that thing. It's called
the AIOC or all in one cable,

237
00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.000
and it's a project on GitHub from
Simon Cuvers. But basically, essentially what

238
00:16:26.039 --> 00:16:30.960
it will do is it'll allow you
to do things like obviously program your baufing

239
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:36.080
or other inexpensive Kenwood style programming cable. Uh, it'll allow you to do

240
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:41.679
things like Mike's favorite thing beacon aprs
UM And there's now CUM one await support,

241
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.639
which I guess some of the guys
are getting some dire Wolf to work

242
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.720
with it, as well as some
other things. So it's kind of a

243
00:16:48.759 --> 00:16:52.639
cool little multi used tool and it's
pretty cheap. I think they're like nine

244
00:16:52.639 --> 00:16:56.840
dollars at the cost, and that
takes the standard US USC. Yeah US

245
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:03.319
looks like USC C, so that's
yeah. We were they were commenting on

246
00:17:03.359 --> 00:17:06.880
how it's called the all in one
cable and it's not a cable at all.

247
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.160
It's like a it's like a an
adapter. But yeah, but yeah,

248
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:12.839
it's a dongle. Yeah, yeah, that's that's basically what it is.

249
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:18.279
So so somebody had mentioned too,
maybe instead of soldering on the two

250
00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.880
uh the two TRS jacks here,
maybe you actually have wires and you have

251
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:26.240
different sized TRS jacks so you could
hook it up to like a Yasu you

252
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.880
know, like the FT four D
fix. That would be kind of cool.

253
00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:33.119
So that might be something I try
here in the future as well.

254
00:17:33.519 --> 00:17:36.480
Yeah, okay, but I've been
working on that and a couple of other

255
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.440
little things around you know, around
here, good and good un I had

256
00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:45.960
email, so you guys saw I
don't I was trying to find it earlier,

257
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:48.880
but I couldn't find it. So
a while back, I did a

258
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:55.480
video about um a switching power supply
for Raspberry Pie that's made my my friend

259
00:17:55.559 --> 00:18:00.680
Jason, who owns a RPC Electronics
it's RPC dash Electronics dot com and he

260
00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.279
has this little switching power supply that
fits on top of a Raspberry Pie three

261
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:07.599
and it has power polls on it, so you can basically plug your Raspberry

262
00:18:07.599 --> 00:18:11.079
Pie into a by winner or a
rig runner or something it would. It's

263
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.039
got a down converter from twelve to
five bullets and run your Raspberry Pie.

264
00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:18.079
And I thought that's great for that
would be great for my all star node.

265
00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.799
Uh. So I emailed the guy
at him made him made parts,

266
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:26.200
and him made parts. Who makes
a Sherry Node Kyle and that it um

267
00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.160
Yeah, no kits for him,
kits for hims. That's it, kits

268
00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:33.039
for hims. Yeah. So I
emailed him a couple of weeks ago,

269
00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:34.440
and I've been trading emails with him. He calls me today and he's like,

270
00:18:34.480 --> 00:18:37.279
Okay, tell me what you're trying
to do. And I explain this

271
00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:40.160
to him, so he's gonna I
think he's going to try to build me

272
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:45.839
a custom with his with what he
calls his Mod two board, which is

273
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.880
a pie hat for a pie three
and a Mod two board. And that's

274
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:55.680
just one of the Sherry kits he's
got and uh that but it'll he's gonna

275
00:18:55.720 --> 00:19:00.200
build like a twelve power supply switching
power supply into it. And because I

276
00:19:00.200 --> 00:19:02.920
told him how it was, how
I was wanting to run it, He's

277
00:19:02.920 --> 00:19:04.000
like, I think I can modify
this and this and this and do this.

278
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.599
But hats off to that guy.
I wasn't gonna ask him to build

279
00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:10.400
me a custom kit, but he's
he seemed really will In fact, he

280
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:12.599
seemed kind of excited about He's like, that's a great idea. So um.

281
00:19:14.079 --> 00:19:18.039
He seemed really really responsive to his
customer base. So is that an

282
00:19:18.119 --> 00:19:22.759
ear. I don't know what his
call son is, but if you go

283
00:19:22.839 --> 00:19:25.960
to kits Forhams dot com, that's
where they sell the Sherry pie. Yeah,

284
00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:27.279
that's got to be him. Cool. Yeah, Okay, Yeah,

285
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.599
he's very good. He's very good
with his h he is he was he

286
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:33.839
was talking to me about, oh, I think I think I could take

287
00:19:33.839 --> 00:19:36.640
this connector off and do this on
this and I'm like, all right,

288
00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:38.440
cool. I don't know how to
dissect a Raspberry pieboard, but I guess

289
00:19:38.440 --> 00:19:41.480
you do. So it was Yeah, it was obvious. He knew all

290
00:19:41.519 --> 00:19:45.720
the ins and outs of all the
interestacies of the of the pie three and

291
00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:48.240
the pipe four boards. But uh, but that was kind of cool.

292
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:51.480
And he's like, well, how
do we get to how this was funny?

293
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:52.519
He's like, Okay, so if
we do this, it's gonna sit

294
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.880
up a little bit higher, it's
gonna be a little bit to different configuration.

295
00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:56.759
How do we get to how do
we get a case for it?

296
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.200
And I'm like, oh, I
can ask my buddy Kyle to design and

297
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.279
print me a new three D case. That's not a problem, mister kits

298
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.799
for hands. We got that covered. So I volunteered child to create an

299
00:20:08.599 --> 00:20:11.640
You know, Jason, whenever you
put that thing in your car, I'm

300
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.119
always worried about whenever you turn the
ignition off, are you going to run

301
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:18.799
your Raspberry pile all the time on
your big huge battery, because if you

302
00:20:18.880 --> 00:20:25.680
turn your gnisition off, that's what
kills the SD card. Yeah, okay,

303
00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:27.799
okay, all right, let me
stop you right now. I'm I'm

304
00:20:27.799 --> 00:20:30.720
being absolutely serious. I'm not bagging
on Toyota's right now, okay, but

305
00:20:30.880 --> 00:20:34.480
Fords don't do that. Fords do
not die when you turn the ignition off.

306
00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:40.960
The cigarette lighter does not die like
Ityota. I think Chevys do that

307
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:42.519
too. I think Chevy or Dodge, one of them does it. Fords,

308
00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:45.920
Forards are on all the time.
Can regard fuse box because there's many

309
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:52.000
circuits that are open direct to battery
and directly of the battery. Right,

310
00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:56.519
and let me let me just give
another shout out to Ford. There's actually

311
00:20:56.599 --> 00:21:00.799
usually usually passed through wires that are
on the right side that you can use

312
00:21:00.839 --> 00:21:04.160
that are pass through straight to the
to the twelve vol DC that will have

313
00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:10.000
constant power. You should utilize those
pass throughs wherever possible. Other companies have

314
00:21:10.039 --> 00:21:14.839
them too, But I've now very
much respecting the pasties that are on the

315
00:21:14.839 --> 00:21:18.640
forge work all those things, the
upfitters, they're they're mounted with switches,

316
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:22.720
yes and such. Well. A
real simple way to get around this is

317
00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:26.279
to use a USB battery bank to
power the pie and run a twelve old

318
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:30.160
charge into the USB battery bank.
And who cares what your car does or

319
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:33.160
your truck does when you shut it
off, right, So My problem was

320
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.480
not shutting it off. My problem
is when I went to start the truck

321
00:21:37.039 --> 00:21:42.440
sometimes the voltage to the cigarette lighter
adapter would drop and that would reboot the

322
00:21:42.480 --> 00:21:45.759
pie. That's the that was the
problem I'm having. However, since I

323
00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.119
haven't had that problem a long time
since then, Yes, I have built

324
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.799
a complete and it's not done yet, it's kind of work in progress.

325
00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.119
I have built a complete secondary battery
system in my truck. I have a

326
00:21:56.160 --> 00:21:59.440
two hundred am power Rhenergy. I'm
about to upgrade it to a larger battery

327
00:21:59.799 --> 00:22:04.519
un on a UM that's that's got
that's plugged into my rig runner behind the

328
00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:08.559
seat, that's running all my radios. It's running my twelve volte fridge and

329
00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:12.599
it runs all the time. And
I have what used to be called am

330
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:18.920
an isolator. That's they don't call
them those anymore. I have a device

331
00:22:18.039 --> 00:22:22.000
by a company called red Arc which
has a built which has an MPPT salt

332
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:26.680
solar charge controller built to it.
But this thing wires up to your secondary

333
00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:32.000
battery and also wires to your alternator, so your alternator will charge your secondary

334
00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:34.720
battery when your engine's running along with
the first battery. Obviously, so when

335
00:22:34.720 --> 00:22:37.920
you're driving, all your stuff is
being charged, and then when you're sitting

336
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.200
in camp for a few days,
you can plug a solar panel into the

337
00:22:41.319 --> 00:22:44.799
mpp T charge controller so it has
all that. I don't have that wired

338
00:22:44.880 --> 00:22:48.319
up yet, so I just plug
in my three hundred amp hour UM gigaparts

339
00:22:48.400 --> 00:22:52.640
panel to a solar charge control.
I have a connected battery and it keeps

340
00:22:52.640 --> 00:22:56.359
and it does a fantastic charge job
of charging it. But that battery will

341
00:22:56.400 --> 00:23:00.359
ask me, well, right now, it's it's starting to run down a

342
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.680
little bit quicker because I've got the
twel volt fridge in the back of the

343
00:23:02.680 --> 00:23:06.039
truck and it's been ninety five two
hundred degrees in Texas for the last couple

344
00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.079
of weeks, which runs it down
faster. Because riches are a huge draw

345
00:23:10.160 --> 00:23:14.400
on battery and on power systems.
Twelve volt twelve volt fridges are not that

346
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.720
bad. It's just simply running more
often because it's hotter outside right now.

347
00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:19.759
Yeah, um, this one will
run. This one will pull between six

348
00:23:19.799 --> 00:23:22.720
and seven amps when it's cooling down, but when it's on maintained it only

349
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:26.720
pulls like half as It's the same
as mine in my RV. Okay,

350
00:23:26.799 --> 00:23:32.640
yeah, yeah, probably so,
but my pro But yeah, I've got

351
00:23:32.880 --> 00:23:34.720
but I've got a I've got a
motor roll of VLM seven fifty modem with

352
00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:38.079
a SIM card in it that also
runs on twelve volts. I put power

353
00:23:38.079 --> 00:23:41.640
pulls on that, so that's my
Internet for the truck. And then I've

354
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.839
got and then I want to put
the Sherry Pie, the Sherry hat or

355
00:23:47.880 --> 00:23:49.839
I'm sorry, the Sherry All Star
node in the truck to connect to the

356
00:23:49.880 --> 00:23:55.200
internet that's in the truck and have
that running all the time. My concern

357
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:59.759
right now is heat when the truck
is just sitting there. So I don't

358
00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.279
know if I'm going to burn up
something because it just gets so hot out

359
00:24:03.279 --> 00:24:06.759
there during the summer in Texas,
and then if I was living in Arizona,

360
00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:10.039
it'd be even worse. But um
so I gotta I gotta do some

361
00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:14.039
testing for heat and stuff right now. So maybe I'll put some sort of

362
00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:15.839
switch on it where it doesn't run
all the time and I'll just use it

363
00:24:15.839 --> 00:24:21.319
while it's um while I'm driving.
Mostly I want it for road trips.

364
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.599
Mostly I want it for road trips. But but that's that's the that's the

365
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:30.160
goal I'm after you know what you
need is you need like a script or

366
00:24:30.200 --> 00:24:32.640
maybe we can do something a node
red. You run node read on that

367
00:24:32.680 --> 00:24:37.519
thing, and whenever the car voltage
goes above you know, twelve point five

368
00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:42.759
or something, or it turns on
the pie. You know, we would

369
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:48.480
need an external switch to do that, right. But then whenever the car

370
00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:53.519
voltage drops and it doesn't see,
it doesn't see a higher voltage come into

371
00:24:53.559 --> 00:24:59.319
your battery than it automatically, it
does a graceful shutdown. Well, I

372
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.880
mean that means work. If that
would work if I had it plugged in

373
00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:04.799
the car battery, but like I
said, it's not gonna Well, you

374
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:08.559
can you can monitor like different like
you can hook it up to you can

375
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:15.160
get like a power m a a
multimeter, right and yes, monitored like

376
00:25:15.240 --> 00:25:18.279
a cigarette adapter and say hey,
whenever the car is on, it's going

377
00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.880
to put up a higher voltage than
when the car is off. Right,

378
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:26.160
right, Okay, the way that
Vince described it, with the USB battery

379
00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:30.960
hooked in line, if you could
slice into the USB battery for the voltage

380
00:25:30.960 --> 00:25:34.759
and detect when the voltage is or
when it's starting to charge, then you'll

381
00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:38.279
know that the vehicle's on and when
it's all and so if you place into

382
00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:41.240
that to the PIE, then all
you have to do is write a quick

383
00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.000
script that says he shut it down
after so much time if it's not charging

384
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.640
the the US, I have to
be with the pie or can we use

385
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:52.920
something else or just quick relays.
Yeah, the Sherry's well, the sherrys

386
00:25:52.920 --> 00:25:56.799
are Pie based. That's it.
I was just thinking to like a little

387
00:25:56.799 --> 00:26:00.079
more lower level. It's like,
oh, the car's not on, let's

388
00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:03.400
just turn everything off. Yeah,
Well, and you can wire into some

389
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:07.079
of the GPI opens on a PIE. I've heard this can be done.

390
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:10.319
I do not know how to do
this, to be clear. And you

391
00:26:10.359 --> 00:26:15.079
can wire a simple push button switch
to it to say, oh, execute

392
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:19.559
a controlled shut down right and turn
it off mannually, just like a bas

393
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:22.200
script or something all on those lines. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I

394
00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:26.440
mean the challenge with monitoring the voltage
is when you're camping and when you're perked.

395
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.759
If we're monitoring ignition voltage down,
we turn off the ignition on the

396
00:26:30.759 --> 00:26:33.960
truck. Well, we don't want
the Pie to shut down and we're camping,

397
00:26:33.079 --> 00:26:37.039
right, That's not what Jason wants
and wants to be able to control

398
00:26:37.119 --> 00:26:41.079
this thing, right, so get
at it. And the guy who had

399
00:26:41.119 --> 00:26:48.039
that really cool UM stealth GTI car
at him cation with all those yaggies on

400
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:49.319
the top of it. Um.
I interviewed him. I know Josh interviewed

401
00:26:49.400 --> 00:26:52.559
him too. Yeah, he's got
some sort of something in his back seat

402
00:26:52.720 --> 00:26:56.640
that's like of for lack of a
better I don't think he called it this,

403
00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.240
but for lack of a better term, it's a voltage regulator, some

404
00:26:59.480 --> 00:27:02.039
sort of some thing that he plugs
all his radios into and runs to his

405
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:06.720
battery and it keeps his voltage constant
across his radios even if the battery goes

406
00:27:06.759 --> 00:27:07.960
up and down. Oh. Sure, he's got a some sort of a

407
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:14.920
buck boost converter, something like power
conditioner. Yeah, is that when it

408
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:18.200
is a power conditioner. Okay makes
the epic power gate. It's the same

409
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.039
company that does have west Mount west
mountin west Mountain Radio. They've got a

410
00:27:22.079 --> 00:27:27.000
power conditioner that just normalizes everything to
your to you twelve old radios. See,

411
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.440
I think that that's what I want
to uh, because I I food

412
00:27:30.440 --> 00:27:33.720
barred my I didn't really food bar
it. So there's a circuit in the

413
00:27:34.039 --> 00:27:37.480
fifty one hundred, and I think
the way I blew this, there's some

414
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.680
kind of protective circuit in the IDY
fifty one hundred that makes it blow fuses

415
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:45.599
and it protects it will the circuit
will blow before it blows your finals,

416
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:48.960
and you just snip the circuit and
then everything works fine. You replace the

417
00:27:48.000 --> 00:27:52.720
circuit. It's like seventeen cents at
mouser um you jam a penny in there.

418
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.759
Yeah, right, right exactly.
But uh, but I think I

419
00:27:56.839 --> 00:28:02.319
overcharge. I didn't overcharge it,
but I was charging my battery with a

420
00:28:02.440 --> 00:28:07.480
twenty amp AC charger that's a maintainer, and I think it just probably was

421
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:10.559
too much for the circuit back into
the way. I'm guessing I don't know

422
00:28:10.599 --> 00:28:14.359
that that's what it was. But
yeah, those battery maintainers aren't real great

423
00:28:14.359 --> 00:28:18.319
at voltage regulation, right right exactly, So I think, so now I

424
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:21.119
just unplug my rig runner when I'm
if I ever plugged that in, I

425
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:22.680
usually try to charge it and solar
and I don't have a problem. But

426
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:26.960
if I ever plugged that twenty am
the charger into, I'll just unplug my

427
00:28:26.039 --> 00:28:29.839
radios. But but yeah, I
was like, you know what I need

428
00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:34.119
something like like Scott had that's a
that's like a battery conditioner might called it,

429
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:37.759
so that I didn't know that West
Mountain Radio made one of those.

430
00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:40.880
That's that's a good I'll go look
that up and see about getting one of

431
00:28:40.880 --> 00:28:44.720
those. So um, But yeah, that's that's That's a project that I've

432
00:28:44.759 --> 00:28:45.960
been working on for a long time. I'm making progress on it, just

433
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:48.960
kind of a little bit of a
time, but it's it's been a fun

434
00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:52.519
project. I really enjoyed kind of
figuring stuff out and saying, Okay,

435
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:53.640
this is going to work over here, and this isn't gonna work, or

436
00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:56.440
I wanted to do this but I
can't, or whatever, and getting new

437
00:28:56.480 --> 00:29:00.240
ideas along the way. So it's
been a fun project. Chuck in the

438
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:02.759
chat had a good idea, he
said, put the pie in the fridge.

439
00:29:02.799 --> 00:29:04.960
But the only question on that would
be is how bad would that affect

440
00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:10.759
your your transmit power with the pies
in the fridge? You know you could

441
00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:15.839
you could probably yeah, the sherry. The sherry has an SMA connector on

442
00:29:15.880 --> 00:29:18.440
it, so you could get a
you can get an external antenna with a

443
00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:22.680
very small stacks run it out there
a little bit. That would be pretty

444
00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.400
cool clocking too. You could overclock
your pie that way. Yeah, that's

445
00:29:26.400 --> 00:29:33.119
true. You can mind good coin
from it could. One of the things

446
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:37.319
about good. One of the things
about that all in one cable is because

447
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.599
it has CUM one away emulation.
There is some word that the potential for

448
00:29:41.720 --> 00:29:45.599
all Star to work using this as
as kind of like your device would be

449
00:29:45.960 --> 00:29:49.240
possible. But I don't know that
the emulation would actually work because of how

450
00:29:49.279 --> 00:29:53.559
all Star was coded and written.
I think it requires an actual CUM one

451
00:29:53.599 --> 00:29:56.119
away. That would be kind of
a cool, fun project to dig into

452
00:29:56.759 --> 00:30:00.759
a little bit. Yeah yeah,
yeah, but that's a I guess you

453
00:30:00.799 --> 00:30:04.960
could use UH. I guess you
could use that for um, You'd have

454
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:10.720
to write some sort of you'd have
to write, you'd have to do some

455
00:30:10.759 --> 00:30:18.559
sort of custom customization in the UH
in the hand VoIP software to make it

456
00:30:18.839 --> 00:30:22.400
correctly key that radio up and down. But I guess you could theoretically do

457
00:30:22.480 --> 00:30:26.839
that. Somebody who's smarter than Iam
you could do that. I think it'd

458
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.319
be possible because, like for example, with the eight eight eight, if

459
00:30:29.319 --> 00:30:32.759
you open this up, there's multiple
points you could tap into and you can

460
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.640
make a node completely no problem.
So I don't see why it wouldn't be

461
00:30:36.880 --> 00:30:42.440
possible with that AIOC. The very
first, uh, the very first UM

462
00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:48.000
All Star note I ever had was
a modified UV eighty two. I'm take

463
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:51.480
taking the flashlight out of it,
and they put they soldered somewhere in there

464
00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:53.240
and brought a dB twenty five at
the top of it and just plug that

465
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:56.720
straight into the pie and go that's
cool. And yeah, but and it's

466
00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.359
it was kind of Uh. It
had a lot of RF I was a

467
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:02.359
fan. It had a lot of
r FI, so you hear a lot

468
00:31:02.359 --> 00:31:04.440
of buzzing in the transmission. But
it worked. I mean you could.

469
00:31:04.640 --> 00:31:08.519
You could plug it up and and
uh make um oh man speak of the

470
00:31:08.559 --> 00:31:12.319
devil. You can make uh make
contacts with it. You start talking about

471
00:31:12.359 --> 00:31:18.720
All Star and John shows up,
so all of a sudden, what are

472
00:31:18.839 --> 00:31:22.880
great? Cough, Yeah, I
like the bottom of it. That's great.

473
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.119
That's funny. That's funny. Hey, Jason, thanks for having me

474
00:31:26.119 --> 00:31:29.079
on me. I'm not gonna bounce. Good evening. Nice to see you,

475
00:31:29.160 --> 00:31:33.000
John, Good evening, Thanks see
you guys. Hey John, what's

476
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.119
going on? Guys? What's up? John? How are you? You're

477
00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:41.119
in the bad aspect ratio? I
know I'm on the I'm on the iPad

478
00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.920
actually enjoying the beautiful Wisconsin weather because
we had spring summer about a week ago,

479
00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:49.319
then we had winter, and then
we're back at the spring again.

480
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:56.599
So well, there you go.
That's awesome. So what's uh, how's

481
00:31:56.839 --> 00:31:59.680
how's life with the ft M five
hundred. How's the did you did you

482
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:01.839
ever at up to those training courches
you were talking about towards the end of

483
00:32:01.839 --> 00:32:05.720
the month. Yeah, we're actually
we're actually going to make the announcement this

484
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:07.920
weekend. It's going to be the
last Wednesday of the month here, so

485
00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:10.720
this coming up here. I forgot
what day it is there, but we're

486
00:32:10.720 --> 00:32:14.440
going to have that out there.
We're gonna do it in a class fashion.

487
00:32:14.839 --> 00:32:19.000
And then we also have some interesting
news for some things coming up in

488
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:24.519
August for classes. So spaken,
okay, interesting interesting news. It's it's

489
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:28.079
not going to be an FT eight
one eight replacement, because he said it's

490
00:32:28.400 --> 00:32:30.359
not it's not a radio. It's
just classes. It's not since it's not

491
00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:34.000
a radio, I'm just saying out
loud with everybody in the chats thinking right

492
00:32:34.039 --> 00:32:37.640
now, I would like to begin
the speculation right right, Yeah, it's

493
00:32:37.680 --> 00:32:40.720
gonna it's gonna have a great feature. We're adding a panini maker to it,

494
00:32:43.440 --> 00:32:46.240
and then um it's gonna say supportive
nurturing things. And then if you

495
00:32:46.279 --> 00:32:50.359
have a question, it will automatically
pop up and say did you read the

496
00:32:50.359 --> 00:32:53.920
manual? Did you It needs to
have a toilet paper holder on it so

497
00:32:53.920 --> 00:32:58.680
that you can use it for porta
potties on the air more conveniently, so

498
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.559
well, you know that's that's a
question because you know, everybody's like,

499
00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:05.000
how do we do porta potties on
the air? So this thing is gonna

500
00:33:05.000 --> 00:33:08.799
go. We just gotta we gotta
get a brain trust. What's the failed

501
00:33:08.799 --> 00:33:14.039
pass ratio on this class that you're
gonna you're gonna have. Well, we'll

502
00:33:14.039 --> 00:33:17.680
see if people lack discipline, and
then um no, it's gonna it's gonna

503
00:33:17.680 --> 00:33:21.640
be more of a like an educational
thing as and like a lot of people

504
00:33:21.759 --> 00:33:24.079
have like they want to see more
of it, like hands on and more

505
00:33:24.160 --> 00:33:27.240
want to be like you know,
wait a minute, Okay, I can

506
00:33:27.279 --> 00:33:29.319
read the manual, I can try
to play with it, but how do

507
00:33:29.400 --> 00:33:31.559
I do this and this and this
and this? Because it is a different

508
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:35.440
take on a mobile. I mean
I'll tell you that much. And for

509
00:33:35.519 --> 00:33:39.559
some it really is like derailing and
this past where we well, this past

510
00:33:39.599 --> 00:33:43.039
week here, so as we kind
of got back from seapack and all that

511
00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:45.480
stuff, we've had a lot of
people that said, hey, we've been

512
00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:46.759
doing one on one and you know, we're kind of planning it, but

513
00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:51.799
we're like, yeah, we gotta
get it going sooner or later. That's

514
00:33:51.799 --> 00:33:55.640
a good idea. I think some
of the other manufacturers they need literally a

515
00:33:55.680 --> 00:34:00.160
four week class to get through all
of the crap that you know, they've

516
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:04.799
got in their manual. And I
think having a class on on your your

517
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:07.920
new radio, buy an FtM five
hundred and take a class virtually or whatnot

518
00:34:08.000 --> 00:34:10.079
and learn how to use it,
that's great. I think it's a great

519
00:34:10.119 --> 00:34:13.480
idea. Yeah, that's a great
a great idea. Yeah. Well,

520
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:15.760
and you know, there's there's a
lot of things people just you know,

521
00:34:15.840 --> 00:34:17.599
let's face it, we all have
our things we like about radios, right.

522
00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:21.559
I mean there's certain things, there's
features I don't use it in radios

523
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:23.480
whatsoever. And there's people that are
just like I just want to know this

524
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:27.199
and this and this, and I
can't find it in manual or I want

525
00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.320
more in depth than sitting and reading
the manuals. So we said, you

526
00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:31.639
know, hey, we heard you. Let's do it. Let's get it

527
00:34:31.679 --> 00:34:35.440
going. And um, we're actually
really excited about this because it's not only

528
00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:37.599
just going to be me teaching,
but we are actually going to have some

529
00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:42.599
of the tech staff kind of on
the sidebar too to be able to help

530
00:34:42.599 --> 00:34:45.840
answer questions and stuff on it.
Nice. Good, good good. I'd

531
00:34:45.840 --> 00:34:52.639
be happy to do the APRS portion. Yeah. Yeah, you don't want

532
00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:55.480
that, No, you don't.
I got I'll tell you that. So

533
00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:59.039
many people gave me flat like you
don't know how to operate your radio.

534
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:01.559
I'm like, it's if they could
just see the behind the scene thing of

535
00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:06.079
like the camera and like how you're
like trying to do this octopus thing so

536
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:08.840
your ugly hands don't like show up
on there. Yeah yeah, no,

537
00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:14.039
it was. It was. It
was that was an informative stream. Uh,

538
00:35:14.079 --> 00:35:17.280
but it was. It just showed
how much there actually was to the

539
00:35:17.400 --> 00:35:21.480
radio. It's like, you know, we because we touched on the highlights

540
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.199
of it, but there was a
lot more to it. So but that's

541
00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:29.480
that was good John. It doesn't
matter because people will complain if you drink

542
00:35:29.559 --> 00:35:35.480
water on your videos, so matter
what you do, you know that's very

543
00:35:35.480 --> 00:35:40.760
true and water. Oh no,
yeah, you just try and read some

544
00:35:40.840 --> 00:35:47.559
trivia questions and then go and wrong. Oh my god, when it looks

545
00:35:47.559 --> 00:35:51.280
like Frank wrote your questions, you
can guys, stick it in all of

546
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.639
the butts. Just wait, just
wait, I'm writing questions right now.

547
00:35:53.920 --> 00:35:58.360
I know, yeah, I know. I was like I told Kyle said

548
00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.639
that you you wanted to. He
thought you wanted too, and I'm like,

549
00:36:00.000 --> 00:36:02.880
are you sure? Are you sure
you want to do that? All?

550
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.760
Hey, you know what, that
will be a hell of a funny

551
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:09.679
stream. You should totally do that. Good seriously, So Frank, you

552
00:36:09.760 --> 00:36:16.719
should do all four rounds and we'll
just don't grammatically correct them either. No,

553
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.360
sang them out, bang out,
okay, bang bang out. Maybe

554
00:36:22.440 --> 00:36:24.519
you and I should just do a
live stream just reading texts from Frank.

555
00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:30.519
That'd be yeah, we can do
that. I've got I've Frank and I've

556
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:34.280
been on a couple of Discord servers
for several years. I've got a lot

557
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:37.760
of I got a lot of archive. Yeah, I got a lot of

558
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:44.880
archived messages from him. Yeah,
we have black I don't still have all

559
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:49.320
that stuff. But yeah, BlackBerry
very Frank and I met. We were

560
00:36:49.320 --> 00:36:52.559
both working tech support from BlackBerry.
That's where we met. Oh did you

561
00:36:52.559 --> 00:36:54.960
watch the documentary then, Jason?
I did not. You know, I've

562
00:36:55.000 --> 00:36:59.960
had that in my in my inventory
for a long time because they the doctor

563
00:37:00.039 --> 00:37:02.039
Memory's done off of a book called
Losing the Signal, which was the story

564
00:37:02.039 --> 00:37:07.000
of BlackBerry. But I saw that
as a documentary come up on I don't

565
00:37:07.000 --> 00:37:08.440
remember where it was, maybe on
Netflix, I think, or something.

566
00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:10.559
Is it on Netflix? Okay?
Yeah? Um, and I'm like,

567
00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:14.719
oh, I want to watch that
because it looks it looks I bet it.

568
00:37:14.880 --> 00:37:16.159
I bet it supposed to be very
good good. Yeah. Yeah,

569
00:37:16.239 --> 00:37:20.119
yeah, so, but no,
I haven't seen it cooked. So eighty

570
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:22.480
six d M is in the chat
and I just want to ask everybody,

571
00:37:22.519 --> 00:37:25.679
aren't you aren't you don't you wish
you had one of these? I just

572
00:37:25.719 --> 00:37:30.159
bought one of those yesterday. Yeah, that's awesome. I kept saying that

573
00:37:30.199 --> 00:37:35.760
one for like four years. But
I know I have a custom one too.

574
00:37:35.920 --> 00:37:37.280
I have a custom one too.
Yeah, I've got one with the

575
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:40.840
USB port on the top of it. The uh yeah, So I kept

576
00:37:42.480 --> 00:37:45.320
I kept saying that on my stream
and I was saying something about the the

577
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:49.559
ttp Man pack and Dennis was in
the chat and he's like, well,

578
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:51.880
it needs a Dinco battery. I'm
like, your damn right, it does

579
00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:55.079
make one for me. So he
finally did, and now I'm putting it

580
00:37:55.079 --> 00:37:58.039
in there. I'm like, don't
you wish you had one of these?

581
00:37:58.039 --> 00:38:00.559
And he said he's going to use
that as his tagline, don't you wish

582
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.079
you had a Denko battery? Yes. I was so happy to see he's

583
00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:07.320
selling him. So you have.
He gave me one for free a few

584
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:08.320
years ago and I love it.
I use it all the time. It's

585
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:10.840
small, it's compact, portable,
and I'm like, man, I got

586
00:38:10.840 --> 00:38:16.440
to support Dennis adam Nis. You
know. Yeah, yeah, he made

587
00:38:16.440 --> 00:38:20.199
the I bought these from him.
He didn't give him to me for free.

588
00:38:20.440 --> 00:38:23.239
Well I shouldn't say that. He
sent me an invoice for this and

589
00:38:23.280 --> 00:38:25.519
I bought this one, and then
he sent me an extra one with the

590
00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:29.920
custom USB thing on the top.
Oh cool, very you have the Do

591
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:32.440
you have the Vault meter? No, it doesn't have a meter on it.

592
00:38:34.280 --> 00:38:36.239
I don't think so. I don't
think so. No, I didn't

593
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.360
have a meter on I don't need
a meter. I just needed to give

594
00:38:38.360 --> 00:38:44.639
me power. Speaking of batteries,
six r K, build me the battery

595
00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.880
right here. Seriously, this is
a great battery because when you go through

596
00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:53.599
TSA, it doesn't look suspicious at
all. He's got two wires coming out

597
00:38:53.599 --> 00:38:58.840
of it with the thing on the
side. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

598
00:38:58.840 --> 00:39:08.400
Oh my god, m hm hm
oh yeah yeah, that's that's not

599
00:39:08.719 --> 00:39:14.000
that's not a bomb. That you
should actually you should actually you should actually

600
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.719
print a sticker and put it on
top of that mic that says not a

601
00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:20.320
bomb and put that in your bag
for TSA and then have what I get

602
00:39:20.719 --> 00:39:23.239
a set of Get a set of
those you do that they love jokes.

603
00:39:23.719 --> 00:39:27.519
You need to get a set of
glasses that has a hidden camera in it.

604
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:30.440
Jokes. Yeah yeah, get a
set of glasses that has a hidden

605
00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.440
camera in it. Take that through
TSA security record the whole thing to put

606
00:39:34.480 --> 00:39:37.800
it on YouTube. That's what I
would do. What I would do.

607
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:40.119
The last thing I want to go
through TSA is with the camera to give

608
00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:44.320
them more reasons. Well that's why
I say a hidden camera setting your glasses.

609
00:39:44.320 --> 00:39:49.960
They don't have no no, I
feel I've taken this on really I

610
00:39:50.000 --> 00:39:54.480
feel I have like, honestly,
doesn't they they see batteries like they don't.

611
00:39:54.519 --> 00:40:00.239
I fly with batteries so often do
too? Mind mind done like a

612
00:40:00.280 --> 00:40:02.639
bomb like that. But yeah,
yeah, but I know this has gone

613
00:40:02.639 --> 00:40:06.480
through the through the X ray.
I would say maybe about forty percent of

614
00:40:06.519 --> 00:40:09.719
the time I get stopped because there's
you know, there's there's microphones and in

615
00:40:10.119 --> 00:40:14.880
ye fires and batteries and such.
They open it up, they don't care.

616
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.360
Just put one of your cat toys
on another piece of linage going through?

617
00:40:19.239 --> 00:40:22.159
Can we can we be on that
one with all the with all the

618
00:40:22.159 --> 00:40:25.119
flying I've done, I've seen some
of the people at t SA and I'm

619
00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:28.400
just like, I don't think they
really give a damn. Let's be honest

620
00:40:28.440 --> 00:40:30.800
with you, you know. I
mean, yeah, it's that hair dry

621
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.079
with the skull on it. Just
to keep the line moving. Please,

622
00:40:34.920 --> 00:40:38.039
let's go try with this bowling ball
candle. That's I want to go through

623
00:40:38.119 --> 00:40:42.599
your TSA line. Every time I
get pulled over and they're like, what

624
00:40:42.800 --> 00:40:45.480
is this? What is going on? Frank? Frank does get pulled over

625
00:40:45.559 --> 00:40:50.920
all h very often. It's because
you have that big beard. Yeah exactly,

626
00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:54.039
you look like beard. You all
how many people in Texas have big

627
00:40:54.079 --> 00:41:00.440
beards? And I don't know.
It's uh so did the universe ears are

628
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:07.079
begger in Texassama Bin Laden? Yeah? No. Uh. The only thing

629
00:41:07.119 --> 00:41:12.119
consistent about the TSA is their inconsistency, because some of those guys are really

630
00:41:12.239 --> 00:41:15.159
like, um, You're like,
oh, you can't do that. You

631
00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:17.000
can't. I'm like, well,
yeah, I've done it before, and

632
00:41:17.039 --> 00:41:19.920
then other guys are just like,
yeah, I don't care, keep going,

633
00:41:20.199 --> 00:41:22.480
move, keep going. So dude, I have inconsistency in a line.

634
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:25.519
First guy, do I have to
take my seat pap and the laptop

635
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.360
out? No? This, this
machine is fine, okay, get through.

636
00:41:30.599 --> 00:41:34.239
Why don't you take your laptop and
see PAP because I was told not

637
00:41:34.360 --> 00:41:36.920
to And they're like no, no
one at the TSA will tell you not

638
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:43.199
to take that out. But I
was just told yeah, I would have

639
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.960
fun with that. Oh I was
livid. But I will tell I'll tell

640
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:49.320
you what, Frank prodor your problem
and then you don't want to do this,

641
00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:51.519
and that's okay, part of your
problems. You don't have pre check.

642
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:57.199
I don't want to pay more more. You're paying for a convenience.

643
00:41:57.280 --> 00:42:02.280
Higher class citizen to be treated better
by my own government. You're not.

644
00:42:02.760 --> 00:42:07.559
You're not. You're paying for convenience, paying for convenience. Check a random

645
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:15.039
bag check, right right? Yeah? Yeah, pre checks easy because usually

646
00:42:15.360 --> 00:42:19.239
nine times out of ten, pre
check is easy because you just walk through.

647
00:42:19.280 --> 00:42:21.239
You don't have to take anything out
of your bags. You don't have

648
00:42:21.280 --> 00:42:24.239
to take your shoes off. I
used to have steel toad shoes, and

649
00:42:24.239 --> 00:42:27.719
I would go through the pre check
line and take my shoes off and sit

650
00:42:27.760 --> 00:42:30.559
them on the belt, and people
behind you be like, uh, you

651
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:31.519
don't. You don't have to do
that, you're in pre check. I'm

652
00:42:31.559 --> 00:42:34.760
like, they have steel toes in
them, trust me, I do,

653
00:42:34.840 --> 00:42:37.400
because they didn't like it when you
walk through the skinner with steel toes and

654
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.599
your shoes. You don't have to
take your shoes off. Okay, what

655
00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:43.559
what do you have in your shoes? Steel toes? Oh yeah, you

656
00:42:43.559 --> 00:42:49.239
gotta take those off? Okay.
Yeah, so it was fun. It

657
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.519
was It's fun to mess with them
too. Or check says it's worth the

658
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:53.920
money. I know it's worth Your
time is worth money, that's right,

659
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.039
Yeah, because I had to wait
on your dumb ass the last couple of

660
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:00.639
times we flew to Orlando together because
number one, you that pre checks,

661
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.039
your line was longer, and number
two you always get stopped. So I'm

662
00:43:04.039 --> 00:43:06.440
like, you gotta limitate one of
those things. So unless you get a

663
00:43:06.440 --> 00:43:10.239
total and it's four trays, four
trays of crap, yeah, yeah,

664
00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:14.519
you don't take any of that out
with free check man. So I don't

665
00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:16.719
know that's it's I find it.
It's easy. I find it. Hey,

666
00:43:16.800 --> 00:43:20.320
John, what are you smoking?
I am little jealous here. I

667
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:23.320
was on the fence. It was
ninety five outside when the stream of streams

668
00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:25.639
nights started and I was like,
I'm not gonna sit out. Did I

669
00:43:25.639 --> 00:43:29.880
smoked a stream before Kay? I
smoked a cigar before Kyle's stream. It's

670
00:43:29.880 --> 00:43:34.079
one hundred and five on my porch. It's like sixty eight right now.

671
00:43:34.079 --> 00:43:42.480
It's beautiful. I got this is
why they chose June for sooner Summer field

672
00:43:42.519 --> 00:43:46.159

Yea happy it's snow on the ground.

675
00:43:52.320 --> 00:43:57.760
I'm a number of freezing temperatures were
we're all standing around the fire whatever.

676
00:43:59.000 --> 00:44:01.360
Hey, Frank, I want to
invite you up to Chicago for winter field

00:44:06.320 --> 00:44:07.760
take you up on that, Dude, that would be cool. Hell yeah

679
00:44:07.880 --> 00:44:13.880
afterwards coming up to northern Wisconsin.
Yeah right, yeah, six hours north

680
00:44:13.960 --> 00:44:17.159
makes a difference of twenty degrees at
least. Tio's always Tho's always talking about

681
00:44:17.159 --> 00:44:20.360
how you know, I say always, And the last time he was at

682
00:44:20.440 --> 00:44:22.440
Orlando, he was like he got
to he landed in Florida and took off

683
00:44:22.519 --> 00:44:25.599
like seven layers of close and are
just like, yeah, what kind of

684
00:44:25.679 --> 00:44:28.599
I mean, like, like,
I don't mean to be rude, but

685
00:44:28.719 --> 00:44:30.760
seriously, what in the hell is
wrong with you? I mean, why

686
00:44:30.800 --> 00:44:37.440
would you live in subarctic temperatures like
that? It's nuts because a scar my

687
00:44:37.559 --> 00:44:44.559
first winter field day. I think
it was like minus fifteen. It's horrible.

688
00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:46.360
No, thank you, no,
thank you. Yeah. People complain

689
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:50.440
about the heat in Texas and it
is hot, but I'm just like out

690
00:44:50.480 --> 00:44:52.199
there being all right, cool,
just getting the shade. You're fine,

691
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:57.679
no problem. Talking about field day? Are we all going to field day

692
00:44:57.679 --> 00:45:00.440
events coming up next weekend? Yeah, I'd like to I'd like to hear

693
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:05.920
everybody's where everybody is going to field
day? Yeah, yeah, no,

694
00:45:05.960 --> 00:45:07.440
it's a good it's a good topic. So yeah, people are tired of

695
00:45:07.559 --> 00:45:12.840
is talking about computer nerds stuff.
So yeah, somebody named might. I

696
00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:16.400
wasn't complaining, I was I was
just interacting with the live chat. I

697
00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:21.280
know, Josh, you mentioned earlier
what you're doing for field day? What

698
00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:25.119
his kids? His kids, and
we'll come back, we'll come back sor

699
00:45:25.159 --> 00:45:32.559
right, that's right. So who's
next, Sean? You go, what

700
00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:35.880
are you doing for field day?
You know, I don't have any plans.

701
00:45:35.880 --> 00:45:37.679
I do like to roam between the
different like field day sites and check

702
00:45:37.679 --> 00:45:40.679
out what other people are doing.
I always think that that's kind of kind

703
00:45:40.679 --> 00:45:44.000
of fun and unique. I get
to meet people that way, but also

704
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:45.920
I get to kind of experience different
equipment and see what people are running.

705
00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:49.639
So yeah, I'll probably end up
just doing that. But hey, if

706
00:45:49.679 --> 00:45:53.000
you're in the Chicago area, let
me know cool. I did that a

707
00:45:53.000 --> 00:45:57.679
few years back before we started doing
a field day at my hunting lease,

708
00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:00.199
and it was fun. I drove
down to South Texas and visit two or

709
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:04.480
three of the bigger clubs down there, who had won the section for UM

710
00:46:05.199 --> 00:46:07.480
for the previous year, and I'm
like, okay, and that that one

711
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.199
club that I went to they just
had I think they were like a twelve

712
00:46:13.360 --> 00:46:17.880
Uh what's the inside EOC whatever?
I get winterfield and field day designations confused,

713
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.360
but whatever, the inside EOC is
twelve Charlie or twelve Alpha whatever it

714
00:46:22.480 --> 00:46:25.280
is. They had like twelve stations. Four of them were CW, four

715
00:46:25.280 --> 00:46:29.880
of them were sideband, and I
think two or two to four of them

716
00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:34.679
were So do you have super something
narrow bandpass filters? So you have CW

717
00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:39.360
filters for twenty I guess filters and
then here's your FT eight filter. That's

718
00:46:39.400 --> 00:46:44.039
yes. Well, but they were
all they were all running, they were

719
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:45.880
they were all John's John John turn
his camera of someone to say this.

720
00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:51.559
They were all running Alocraft equipment.
So I mean it's yeah, they had

721
00:46:51.599 --> 00:46:58.079
some really they had some really kid
go Yeah, they had some really kick

722
00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:01.039
ass equipment at a couple of those
H club. So that was it was

723
00:47:01.079 --> 00:47:04.159
good. This is before the K
four came out. They were running all

724
00:47:04.239 --> 00:47:07.000

ends that you can you can do CW,

727
00:47:15.920 --> 00:47:20.119
you can do CW at the lower
portion of the band and single simon

00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:57.800
just you know, I got invited
down to Jason's to help out down there.

738
00:47:57.920 --> 00:48:00.000
But you know, it's a it's
about a ten and and a half

739
00:48:00.039 --> 00:48:06.199
hour drive, and we had something
happened that far. No, well,

740
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:08.000
we had something happened in our club
that I need to help out at.

741
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:12.480
So you can't even get across Texas. It's not a half hour. It's

742
00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:15.280
not that it's not Well, how
far are you from Springfield? Three and

743
00:48:15.280 --> 00:48:20.559
a half and are you three and
a half hours east of Springfield? Yeah?

744
00:48:21.320 --> 00:48:24.719
I thought you were south of Springfield
for some reason, I know,

745
00:48:24.800 --> 00:48:28.320
but I don't know what. I
don't know what Missouri looks like on a

746
00:48:28.360 --> 00:48:31.679
map. We'll remember when when we
saw the Saint Louis Arch, the Gateway

747
00:48:31.679 --> 00:48:38.159
of the West, yes, yeah, and the mighty Mississippi all that Mississippi.

748
00:48:38.280 --> 00:48:40.440
Yeah, it's an elevator. It
goes all the way to the top

749
00:48:42.239 --> 00:48:45.000
up. No. No, you
were on All Star with Kyle and he's

750
00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:47.320
like, hey, when you're by
this street wave and then we were like

751
00:48:47.400 --> 00:48:50.840
right near downtown. Yeah. I
don't remember how far away that was.

752
00:48:51.199 --> 00:48:53.239
I guess, Okay, okay,
because it's only six hours of Springfield.

753
00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:57.639
So yeah, so it would just
if you're three and a half hours on

754
00:48:57.679 --> 00:48:59.880
the other side of Springfield. I
thought for some reason, I was thinking

755
00:48:59.880 --> 00:49:02.400
you were south of I don't know. No, now, okay, all

756
00:49:02.440 --> 00:49:05.480
right, all right, that makes
more sense. But okay, all right,

757
00:49:05.760 --> 00:49:07.000
that's fine. So how long does
it take to you take for you

758
00:49:07.039 --> 00:49:10.679
to get to Huntsville, Alabama?
It takes six and a half sometimes seven

759
00:49:10.679 --> 00:49:15.119
hours. Wow, Yeah, that's
weird because it's ten hour drive to Huntsville

760
00:49:15.159 --> 00:49:20.440
from here, and you tell me
it's ten hours to he's doing he's doing

761
00:49:20.480 --> 00:49:22.880
it in a semi truck. That's
where he goes to pick up all that

762
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:27.280
sun drop because all right, he's
got a dude with a sweet hat and

763
00:49:27.320 --> 00:49:31.039
a mustache and in a firebird in
a firebreak for he can, Yeah,

764
00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:35.519
so he can cannonball run back up
to where is that just to get that

765
00:49:35.559 --> 00:49:45.360
sun run across the border his hand. It's oh, come on, well

766
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:50.280
yeah that's so. It can't be
smoky that or it can't be the bandit.

767
00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:53.079
What has got to be the uh
the I don't know you you mix

768
00:49:53.199 --> 00:50:00.199
cannonball run in the Yeah, the
laws on Mrs Flaw, Yeah, newman

769
00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:05.840
in the scoff Law. That's funny. We got Kyle and the scoff Law.

770
00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:10.679
That's that's that's Yeah, that's gonna
make a mount to hang out with

771
00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:15.000
us. Yeah, wa way to
ruin it for us, Kyle than well,

772
00:50:15.119 --> 00:50:16.559
you know what, I'll ruin it
next year whenever I come down there.

773
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.519
Yeah, well, make plans for
make plans for January. Well,

774
00:50:24.159 --> 00:50:30.760
by that time I will probably have
my my pull behind trailer. Therefore,

775
00:50:30.280 --> 00:50:34.440
I'll have a better on the taco. You got a pull behind for the

776
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:37.079
taco? Nice, I'm getting one. I'm getting one. Cool? Good

777
00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:42.360
for you? Yeah? So good? Trading tank radio? Who will come

778
00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:45.280
up here for Kyle? Will go
down there? There you go, we'll

779
00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:49.199
go. Well, yeah, that
work. So you trade a single sideband

780
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:53.719
for CW. No, No,
you're trading really good ribs and beans for

781
00:50:54.760 --> 00:51:02.239
well that could that could be.
That could be as good they I think

782
00:51:02.239 --> 00:51:07.639
they are. I think you're fantastic
myself. So yeah, John, what

783
00:51:07.679 --> 00:51:12.280
are you doing for field day?
Um? Nothing, because my wife I

784
00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:16.280
think planned it like eleven twelve years
ago, and that's the weekend of my

785
00:51:16.360 --> 00:51:24.599
daughter's birthday. So I'm committed.
I was gonna say she should be licensed

786
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:31.719
in with you in the field this
weekend, buddy, birthday radio every year

787
00:51:32.599 --> 00:51:36.679
on your birthday every year. I
actually told them, study they get their

788
00:51:36.719 --> 00:51:39.760
license they passed, I will buy
them whatever radio they watch. I've said

789
00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:44.119
this too. I didn't say this, this is what I'm saying. Yes,

790
00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:50.480
yeah, they're like wow, nothing, yeah, yeah, yeah,

791
00:51:50.480 --> 00:51:53.840
Oh my goodness. Well, okay, that's that's cool. Well, Mike

792
00:51:53.880 --> 00:51:57.400
and Frank and I, well,
Josh, Josh, let's go. Let's

793
00:51:57.440 --> 00:51:59.400
go back to you, because you
remember. I appreciate that, Thank you.

794
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:02.679
I was simultaneously trying to log into
the HRCCHF net, which is okay

795
00:52:02.840 --> 00:52:06.639
right now, we're there on seven
point one nine two. For everybody who

796
00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:08.880
can do YouTube and HAM radio at
the same time, highly encouraged, get

797
00:52:08.880 --> 00:52:15.760
on there. I have the prestigious
opportunity to run field Day from San Clemente

798
00:52:15.800 --> 00:52:22.880
Island this year, which is one
of, if not the most rarest grid

799
00:52:22.920 --> 00:52:28.199
square in the United States, really, particularly for all you fred Fish guys

800
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:31.599
that are chasing six meters. We've
got a five element yaggee that we're running

801
00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:37.599
on with power on six meters four
field Day. We're going to be trying

802
00:52:37.639 --> 00:52:42.239
to do some satellite contacts and I'm
dragging the buddy hecks out. I have

803
00:52:42.599 --> 00:52:49.320
ye So island. I see Sam
Clemente Island. San Clemente Island is owned

804
00:52:49.320 --> 00:52:53.239
by the US Navy. It is
the last location that the Navy Seals do

805
00:52:53.280 --> 00:52:58.360
their buds training on and they actually
bomb the crap out of it. Well,

806
00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:01.719
but they're shooting dummy loads. But
they do a lot of Navy air

807
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:07.320
practice. Navy Seals do their training
there, and I get to fly out

808
00:53:07.360 --> 00:53:12.320
there and do HAM radio for so
rare like one of the rare squid squares.

809
00:53:12.519 --> 00:53:15.079
So I'm super excited. Adam K
six air K is going with me,

810
00:53:15.559 --> 00:53:19.800
along with a couple of other Hams. We'll be running a club call.

811
00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:22.920
I'll be talking about that as we
get closer to the event. I

812
00:53:22.960 --> 00:53:27.239
will try and live stream from there
because it's it's actually a really really cool

813
00:53:27.280 --> 00:53:30.400
location and I'm told they actually have
like mobile internet. How good it is.

814
00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:35.920
I have no idea, but it's
gonna be an amazing time, like

815
00:53:36.000 --> 00:53:37.880
kind of a once in a lifetime
thing for me. So I'm really cool,

816
00:53:39.599 --> 00:53:43.559
you know probably Yeah, go ahead, John Well, I'm sorry I'm

817
00:53:43.559 --> 00:53:46.039
breaking up here, but i gotta
say it's it's like it's like the Catalina

818
00:53:46.079 --> 00:53:52.880
Wine mix. It's the same mixure
it's yeah with with with Ubbe rounds fire

819
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:58.320
overhead. Yeah. Props to you
for doing Yeah, I've I've used the

820
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:01.760
Buddy hacks for the last three years, four years. Yeah, both a

821
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:06.440
field day in winter field day,
excellent choice of vintenna of course, Props

822
00:54:06.480 --> 00:54:08.360
to you for doing six meters because
at which the buddy HECKX will do.

823
00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:10.599
It's only two elements. But if
you're gonna do like I think you said,

824
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:14.679
a five element yaggy. Six meters
has been up lately, guys,

825
00:54:14.679 --> 00:54:16.960
and guess what you can do FT
eight on field day. Um. But

826
00:54:17.079 --> 00:54:21.199
I know that Chuck KK six us
why he was in there because I told

827
00:54:21.239 --> 00:54:22.559
him, hey, six meters is
up on doing some FT eight. He

828
00:54:22.599 --> 00:54:24.719
got in the chat he's like,
dude, I'm on sideband right now with

829
00:54:24.760 --> 00:54:28.199
it, and he went in there. He came in there later he's like,

830
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:30.320
thanks for telling me. I just
turned on the radio and their sideband

831
00:54:30.320 --> 00:54:35.960
activity on six meters, so fingers
across that it's still active on field day

832
00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:37.519
a week a week from now.
So really fast. This is my six

833
00:54:37.599 --> 00:54:42.199
meter antenna with my hot dogs on
it. This is how far I go.

834
00:54:42.599 --> 00:54:45.639
Yeah, that's the same one six
years right. So so fred Fish

835
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:50.079
guys, if you're into six meters, go check out the fred Fish Award.

836
00:54:50.480 --> 00:54:53.280
You can get a really actually it's
a really prestigious award really to to

837
00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:59.679
get to get every grid square in
the continental US on six meters and the

838
00:55:00.280 --> 00:55:04.400
well it's it's it's VHF right,
it's not just specifically it's six. I

839
00:55:04.480 --> 00:55:07.119
thought it was just I thought it
was just VHF. Yeah, I mean,

840
00:55:07.199 --> 00:55:08.840
I guess, but like you're gonna
have to use six for a lot

841
00:55:08.920 --> 00:55:13.559
well because because the guy the guys
that well were were satellite. Because the

842
00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:15.559
guys that were I did that story
a couple a couple weeks ago about the

843
00:55:15.599 --> 00:55:20.039
guys traveling out to Big Ben to
this rare grid square to activate this grid

844
00:55:20.079 --> 00:55:22.800
square for the VUCC and for the
towards fred Fish, and they were going

845
00:55:22.840 --> 00:55:28.159
to operate VHF satellite from that grid
square. So yeah, maybe there's different

846
00:55:28.400 --> 00:55:30.079
facets of it. I don't know. Mab so Adams in the chat right

847
00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:34.119
now, he's saying he's going to
run CW on six meters. He's got

848
00:55:34.159 --> 00:55:37.280
a five elements six meters yaggy,
So yeah, six meters is going to

849
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:40.519
be like, by the way,
half of the half of the reason why

850
00:55:40.679 --> 00:55:45.119
this gentleman's out there and so equipped
is the fred Fish guys actually got together

851
00:55:45.239 --> 00:55:50.199
some money and they got him an
antenna and an amplifier to be able to

852
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:52.480
do this. So nice, we're
super engaged with the six meter guys.

853
00:55:52.519 --> 00:55:54.920
We're gonna try and get you as
many contacts as we can. We know

854
00:55:55.039 --> 00:55:59.920
you're looking for it because it's yeah, it's it's when it's when it's possible,

855
00:56:00.400 --> 00:56:04.119
like anything's possible almost, and you
know, it's super super fun.

856
00:56:04.199 --> 00:56:07.079
Six meters is great and for every
all you technicians, it's not a big

857
00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:09.599
antenna. You don't need a lot
of space. You're talking about like a

858
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:19.239
nine foot diepole, you know,
approximately using Kyle's trivia terms, you can

859
00:56:19.320 --> 00:56:22.119
do it and get on the air. You got full access on six meters.

860
00:56:22.199 --> 00:56:25.760
Go nuts. I am looking forward
to trying some six meters. In

861
00:56:25.840 --> 00:56:30.519
fact, I got on I got
on Dune Star's website and I got an

862
00:56:30.599 --> 00:56:32.360
RNL and a couple of the websites
the LA looking for a six meter band

863
00:56:32.360 --> 00:56:37.320
pass filter, which I don't own, and everybody's yeah, well, everybody's

864
00:56:37.360 --> 00:56:40.480
either sold out of them or more
accurately there they don't carry them in stock.

865
00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:44.039
They're a special order item and they
take several weeks to get in so

866
00:56:44.159 --> 00:56:46.960
and I appreciate fact check. Rhea
is saying, fred Fish is six meters

867
00:56:47.039 --> 00:56:52.199
only. Maybe those maybe those guys
were doing VUCC then, I don't remember

868
00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.079
they were doing something like that for
the VHF band. They were going to

869
00:56:55.159 --> 00:57:02.159
use six meters and two meters for
satellite. But um, uh yeah,

870
00:57:02.199 --> 00:57:06.400
if anyone has a six meter band
pass filter that you would lend me and

871
00:57:06.480 --> 00:57:08.280
I will send it back to You'll
answer me first, and then I'll send

872
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:12.800
it to Jason because I need it. Well, I needed Friday were field

873
00:57:12.880 --> 00:57:15.159
day. I need but I'm gonna
be in the rare grid square. Come

874
00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:17.960
on, come on here, Yeah, day, I asked, I asked,

875
00:57:19.199 --> 00:57:21.800
do you really need a band pass
filter if you're in the ray grade

876
00:57:21.840 --> 00:57:24.119
square? Because that means you're only
should be the only station operating there.

877
00:57:24.199 --> 00:57:28.400
So well, it's you know,
there's sure there'll be a lot of adjacent

878
00:57:28.519 --> 00:57:30.199
signals. It's gonna crash, you
know, you know how that goes.

879
00:57:31.440 --> 00:57:35.320
We do have We do have equipment. I'm just kidding. We should be

880
00:57:35.400 --> 00:57:38.400
good. Yeah, do you have
an eighty meter band pass Josh or Jason

881
00:57:38.480 --> 00:57:44.199
rather, Yes, I have everything
except six and fifteen. Uh well,

882
00:57:44.639 --> 00:57:51.440
Frank has the fifteen I've got.
I don't have the work I've got seventeen,

883
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:52.960
but I don't have the rest of
the work bands. I don't have

884
00:57:52.039 --> 00:57:55.519
twelve or thirty or sixty. Um. But I've got everything else except for

885
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:00.760
six and uh, Frank's got fifteen. That's what it is. Yeah.

886
00:58:00.159 --> 00:58:02.760
Um. By the way, speaking
of Dune Star, I don't know if

887
00:58:02.800 --> 00:58:06.960
you guys saw this or not.
This just remind me, reminded me of

888
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:12.679
this. I'm going to share this
right here. Yeah, everybody's still everybody's

889
00:58:12.679 --> 00:58:15.559
still, They're on audio wise.
We are excited to announce it. We

890
00:58:15.599 --> 00:58:19.760
are actively seeking a buyer for our
business. After years of hard work and

891
00:58:19.800 --> 00:58:23.159
dedication, we have built a successful
business that holds potential and even more growth

892
00:58:23.280 --> 00:58:28.679
and really profitability with a solid foundation, loyal, customer based amateur radio community.

893
00:58:28.679 --> 00:58:30.719
A great opportunity if you're interested in
acquiring a thriving business, great potential.

894
00:58:30.760 --> 00:58:34.679
I'd love to discuss with you.
Serious inquiries only, so don't email

895
00:58:34.719 --> 00:58:39.559
them and ask him a bunch of
stupid questions. Frank, I know what

896
00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:45.039
I got the Facebook group. Good
job, so yeah, I just uh,

897
00:58:45.639 --> 00:58:47.280
I just linked it in the chat
um. This. That page is

898
00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:51.719
to the to one of the single
band band pass filters. You can hit

899
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:54.960
the drop down here and see six
meters is available on back order. Because

900
00:58:54.960 --> 00:59:00.039
I was gonna go in, I've
got four or five different Dune Star bandpass

901
00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:04.400
Filters. I really like them.
They worked well and I was about to

902
00:59:04.480 --> 00:59:07.679
order. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was gonna. I was gonna

903
00:59:07.719 --> 00:59:10.239
try to get a sub Sweeter Win. But to hear me out, hear

904
00:59:10.320 --> 00:59:15.760
me out on this Ham radio,
Dude rebrand it the Dude Star. Yes,

905
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:22.440
buy the company. Yeah, because
that name's not taken yet. We

906
00:59:22.519 --> 00:59:30.519
could do that. Yeah, yes, somebody go buy Dune Star and let

907
00:59:30.599 --> 00:59:31.840
me know when you do, and
send me some free stuff because I'm the

908
00:59:31.880 --> 00:59:34.880
one who told you about it.
So but they make good stuff, they

909
00:59:34.960 --> 00:59:38.119
really do. I would. I
don't want to put all the time that

910
00:59:38.199 --> 00:59:42.440
it would be required into running a
company like that, but I'm intrigued enough

911
00:59:42.440 --> 00:59:45.400
to call them and say, hey, maybe maybe i'd buy it from you.

912
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:47.000
I'm sure they probably want more than
I couldn't afford, and that's okay.

913
00:59:47.440 --> 00:59:51.760
But anyway, So somebody out there
with some little bit chops than I

914
00:59:51.800 --> 01:00:00.440
have, so fat Man pack portable
Adam y'alls, y'all's rare activation should comeing

915
01:00:00.519 --> 01:00:04.400
up here? Yeah, what's up? It should be quite fun. Really

916
01:00:04.480 --> 01:00:07.480
looking forward to it. Um.
I've never been out to San Clemente Island,

917
01:00:07.880 --> 01:00:12.960
and uh, pretty cool to get
this opportunity. We're pretty stoked.

918
01:00:13.079 --> 01:00:16.639
So we head out on Friday and
come back Monday, and we're hoping to

919
01:00:16.639 --> 01:00:21.719
get a soda activation in on Friday
evening. So keep an eye out for

920
01:00:21.880 --> 01:00:24.360
spots. Yeah, I was,
and I was about to ask, what

921
01:00:24.719 --> 01:00:32.880
is the the highest elevation out there? Wow, it's a one point so

922
01:00:34.000 --> 01:00:37.320
to summit. It's under it's below
two thousand feet, but I think it's

923
01:00:37.519 --> 01:00:42.159
like eighteen hundred or so somewhere in
that vicinity. But uh, yeah,

924
01:00:42.559 --> 01:00:45.639
I hit that up I think Friday. Yeah, that's that's the main way

925
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:49.639
to get out there, is they
they fly it from actually from North Island.

926
01:00:49.760 --> 01:00:54.440
So cool. Good, it's a
fun trip. Where's North Island?

927
01:00:54.559 --> 01:00:59.480
Is that one? It's in the
middle of San Diego Bay. It's the

928
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:02.239
the Naval air station there, right
in the middle of the bay in Coronado.

929
01:01:04.760 --> 01:01:08.119
Cool. So is there a club
that's going to be there? It's

930
01:01:08.119 --> 01:01:13.039
a club call? We're running.
Yeah, there's technically a club call.

931
01:01:13.159 --> 01:01:17.199
Oh my gosh. I'm out in
my front yard and there's a weed right

932
01:01:17.280 --> 01:01:22.440
here and it's wiggling and shuffling into
the ground. As I'm watching it,

933
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:30.119
there's a gopher dragging it to the
ground. That's awesome. Programs your gopher

934
01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:35.119
as well, if they're we right
right? Yeah, do you guys know

935
01:01:35.239 --> 01:01:38.119
what your club call is going to
be? Oh? Josh, do you

936
01:01:38.239 --> 01:01:42.360
remember? I don't remember. I
can look out forget give me a minute.

937
01:01:43.000 --> 01:01:45.800
I'm obviously more Internet papables in.
Well, you guys are doing that.

938
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:50.760
I was actually looking up wasn't before
Popcom Popular Communications they went under it.

939
01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:54.159
I was trying to find it.
Didn't they do an article on taking

940
01:01:54.760 --> 01:02:00.360
was it the old realistic or realistic
or radio shack TV filter so you can

941
01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:04.079
filter out interference, And I'm trying
to find it. I thought there was

942
01:02:04.119 --> 01:02:07.320
a way that you could modify it
to make a six meter band pass.

943
01:02:08.079 --> 01:02:13.360
That would make sense because yeah,
Channel two used to be on six meters.

944
01:02:14.880 --> 01:02:17.159
Trying to find it. I swear
I saw it because I was too

945
01:02:17.320 --> 01:02:22.760
into six meters AM repeaters up there, and in northern Wisconsin they used to

946
01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:25.840
have this thing called Project Elf up
there, which was like low band stuff,

947
01:02:25.880 --> 01:02:30.960
but they would also do some military
stuff up in the thirty three and

948
01:02:30.119 --> 01:02:32.800
forty mega hurts, which somehow interfered
with us, so we questioned it.

949
01:02:34.320 --> 01:02:37.880
But um, like I said there
was. I remember reading an article on

950
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:39.480
it, like I want to say, a year or two before Popcom had

951
01:02:39.519 --> 01:02:45.159
its demise. M it might be
pretty easy if you had like a spectrumentalizer

952
01:02:45.320 --> 01:02:49.559
and what would it be, like
a what they call tracking generator something like

953
01:02:49.639 --> 01:02:52.760
that's it, right, Yeah,
I don't see why you couldn't even use

954
01:02:52.760 --> 01:02:54.320
like a nano VNA to really kind
of test it out and tweak it.

955
01:02:54.440 --> 01:02:57.920
You know, of course you know
what you're gonna be on. Sure,

956
01:02:58.159 --> 01:03:01.599
yeah, I mean it's a through. It's there's there's a lot of plans

957
01:03:01.599 --> 01:03:06.000
online and the Hearst Club has done
several projects in the past for building band

958
01:03:06.039 --> 01:03:07.360
pass filters. So if I was
not so lazy, I could just go

959
01:03:07.440 --> 01:03:09.480
build my own. But I don't
have time to do that twy now on

960
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:12.159
field day, But I might.
I might. That might be a fun

961
01:03:12.239 --> 01:03:15.000
live stream is to build a you
could yeah? Yeah, yeah, it's

962
01:03:15.760 --> 01:03:20.119
in my cards. Yeah. It's
just a bunch of tool roid wrapping really

963
01:03:20.159 --> 01:03:22.039
as all it is. But it's
not it's not hard. You can design

964
01:03:22.079 --> 01:03:27.440
your own out toroids and capacitors,
you know, inductors and capacitor and it's

965
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:31.280
not that hard. You can find
designs online and then you know tune and

966
01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:37.199
tweak by squeezing or spreading the coils
on the toroid. And then there's also

967
01:03:37.239 --> 01:03:42.719
a way to build a band stop
filter just using a coax stub and a

968
01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:46.639
t so um so that can be
an option too. If you're trying to

969
01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:50.559
run. Yeah, if you're trying
to run like on Resident multiple it's like

970
01:03:50.639 --> 01:03:53.760
twenty and forty, you can you
know, you can stop out like one

971
01:03:53.800 --> 01:03:58.480
of the you know whatever band you
want. Yeah. But the harder or

972
01:03:58.760 --> 01:04:00.320
the biggest question though, is is
you make it the size of a dime,

973
01:04:00.400 --> 01:04:11.360
Adam, not the co act.
That's gonna be a challenge es yeah,

974
01:04:11.440 --> 01:04:15.159
Adam, Adam. If you built
your QMX yet, no, I

975
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:19.440
haven't yet. Um. I not
pretty busy lately search and rescue training and

976
01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:24.199
stuff like that, and I haven't
built it yet. That's one thing I

977
01:04:24.320 --> 01:04:30.199
might do Monday, um. And
I plan to build it for forty thirty,

978
01:04:30.519 --> 01:04:36.760
twenty seventeen and fifteen meters. So
I heard you sw Yeah, I

979
01:04:36.880 --> 01:04:41.920
heard you say that on somewhere I
remember where you were, but I heard

980
01:04:41.920 --> 01:04:44.360
you say that, and uh,
maybe maybe you're on discord. I don't

981
01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:47.079
remember. But um or I've read
it on discord um. So I go

982
01:04:47.280 --> 01:04:51.079
and look and serious question. I
go and look at the instructions for building

983
01:04:51.159 --> 01:04:55.639
that, and those are not the
bands that it lists. So how do

984
01:04:55.719 --> 01:05:00.760
you modify it to uh, to
be on the band you want? Yeah,

985
01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:03.800
so there's a couple of things.
There's the two two kind of key

986
01:05:03.880 --> 01:05:08.119
things you have to change. You
have to change the the toroid that's got

987
01:05:08.280 --> 01:05:15.320
multiple taps on it, the sort
of variable inductor um that you know that

988
01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:17.119
that weird toroid that you have to
wind. And then the other thing you

989
01:05:17.239 --> 01:05:21.920
have to modify are the output for
the low pass filters or band. I

990
01:05:21.960 --> 01:05:28.320
guess they're low pass and notch filters
on the output. And uh, Fortunately

991
01:05:28.480 --> 01:05:32.039
the architecture of everything is the same
pretty much for the most part across the

992
01:05:32.800 --> 01:05:40.679
the QCX minis and the qd X
right, because it's a marriage of the

993
01:05:41.000 --> 01:05:45.519
the QCX media and the QDX.
And so if you just if you go

994
01:05:45.920 --> 01:05:48.880
dig through those manuals and look at
UM, you know the values for the

995
01:05:48.960 --> 01:05:54.920
other other UM, the other builds, the other bands for the other build

996
01:05:55.039 --> 01:06:00.000
you can kind of figure out at
least close to what you need and then

997
01:06:00.400 --> 01:06:05.599
UM and then you can kind of
tweak it from there, so cool.

998
01:06:05.960 --> 01:06:10.599
Okay, uh, couple a couple
of things back, we'll here well fast,

999
01:06:10.880 --> 01:06:15.599
yeah, Sean drop out here.
Sean, your your camera's overheating.

1000
01:06:15.760 --> 01:06:18.280
It keeps overheating and crashing, so
my apologies for that. I might take

1001
01:06:18.280 --> 01:06:20.880
off here in just a second.
It's okay, it's pretty warm up here,

1002
01:06:20.920 --> 01:06:24.760
but we'll see. We'll see how
it goes soon. Okay, it's

1003
01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:27.800
not bothering me, so that's all
right. Cool. Uh one, Luis

1004
01:06:28.280 --> 01:06:30.519
Valentine, thank you for the super
chat, buddy, he says. Jason,

1005
01:06:30.679 --> 01:06:33.840
Josh and Rhea love you guys.
Y'all are the best. And yeah,

1006
01:06:33.960 --> 01:06:36.440
you're right, you're right, we
are. Thank you very much for

1007
01:06:36.480 --> 01:06:40.719
the for the super chat and to
answer right, yeah and good answer.

1008
01:06:40.880 --> 01:06:43.800
Yeah. And TC fits in the
super with the super chat at twenty bucks.

1009
01:06:43.880 --> 01:06:46.840
Thanks Budd. Always excited to see
TC fits in here. He's a

1010
01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:49.679
he's a he's a sadist. If
I was drinking a pickle beer right now,

1011
01:06:49.719 --> 01:06:54.719
he'd be donating. Oh yeah,
right, yeah, do tenents?

1012
01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:57.599
Ten cents? Ten cents? Yeah. I tried to get more of those

1013
01:06:57.639 --> 01:07:01.960
ghost Pepper beers right now. I
know I want one too. I've still

1014
01:07:02.039 --> 01:07:06.880
got I've still got one in the
fridge in one one. I'm surprised it

1015
01:07:06.960 --> 01:07:11.400
hasn't I'm surprised it hasn't eaten through
the can yet and like you know,

1016
01:07:11.480 --> 01:07:15.280
like alien like alien blood dripping an
acid on the floor, but it's still

1017
01:07:15.320 --> 01:07:16.880
in there. So for r if
you didn't know this, it's a it's

1018
01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:21.760
a milkshake ipa. So it's like
a creamy ipa, but it's proper spicy,

1019
01:07:21.880 --> 01:07:25.519
like Jason, you can account for
that. It is proper spite.

1020
01:07:25.599 --> 01:07:30.519
It is. The worst thing is
the worst thing is when you're drinking it,

1021
01:07:30.960 --> 01:07:35.119
you go like this and your lip
milk. It's like it's like it's

1022
01:07:35.159 --> 01:07:38.639
like, yeah, it's hot on
the tongue in the throat and it's a

1023
01:07:38.679 --> 01:07:41.599
little bit hot, but your lip
is like on fire. You're like looking

1024
01:07:41.639 --> 01:07:43.800
in the mirror. It is my
lip literally on fire. Right, Hey,

1025
01:07:43.880 --> 01:07:50.800
that's the fire. Yeah. It
was a seasonal yearly beer. They

1026
01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:55.519
were doing it every year during COVID
And then I tried to buy I wanted

1027
01:07:55.559 --> 01:07:58.599
to buy like fifty of them,
right yeah, They're like no, we're

1028
01:07:58.639 --> 01:08:01.760
not making them, and I'm like

I've not done it before in the
past, but it is. I am

1114
01:14:12.720 --> 01:14:15.279
X Commander Classic because Frank's like,
well, are we gonna have eighty meters?

1115
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:19.279
And I have eighty meters on the
Classic, and yeah, I bet

1116
01:14:19.600 --> 01:14:23.319
if we get on eighty meters it
might be for like a half hour.

1117
01:14:24.159 --> 01:14:30.800
Yeah, yeah, I need a
mask. That's why I was asking about.

1118
01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:34.600
We already got that taken care of. Yeah, yeah, Adam,

1119
01:14:34.640 --> 01:14:39.279
Adam's frozen up. Hey, hey
Adam, thanks for joining Bud. Appreciate

1120
01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:41.560
you being here tonight. Yeah,
you can drop off if you want to.

1121
01:14:42.000 --> 01:14:46.720
So you're wrong out in the chat
um. I think that's gonna be

1122
01:14:46.800 --> 01:14:50.079
doing on a normal thing. Man, Just take him back. I've got

1123
01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:55.239
yeah, I've got a I've got
an idea for a volog style video I

1124
01:14:55.319 --> 01:15:00.359
want to do and I'm doing.
I'm gonna do a new video for Building

1125
01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:04.159
the Buddy Hex because the first video
I did for Building the Buddy Hecks,

1126
01:15:04.199 --> 01:15:08.840
which was three years ago, I
think he's changed a lot of stuff on

1127
01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:12.079
it since then. And I was
talking with him on the phone this last

1128
01:15:12.119 --> 01:15:14.079
week and I was like, hey, dude, I want to do this

1129
01:15:14.159 --> 01:15:16.119
and this and this and and he's
like, okay, so he sent me

1130
01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:20.359
some new uh couple new pieces and
whatnot. So because he's made some updates

1131
01:15:20.399 --> 01:15:26.520
to that antenna, dawn in five
SKT got in of discord like two days

1132
01:15:26.520 --> 01:15:29.119
ago and he's like, dude,
I just got the email. My buddy

1133
01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:31.199
Hex is on the way. So
Don's got a buddy HEXK. So those

1134
01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:34.600
of you who are on the waiting
list, it is moving forward. The

1135
01:15:35.239 --> 01:15:40.319
Buddy Hex waiting list is actually moving. So if five skts get I don't

1136
01:15:40.319 --> 01:15:42.000
know if he's got it in yet
or not. I know he's in the

1137
01:15:42.079 --> 01:15:46.920
chat. Don let us know if
you've received that yet. Okay, Okay.

1138
01:15:46.960 --> 01:15:50.760
I talked to him and he's like
I got him. Yeah. Yeah,

1139
01:15:50.840 --> 01:15:54.520
that's gonna be uh, that's gonna
be freaking cool. Yeah, you're

1140
01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:56.840
gonna love that. But yeah,
so I'm gonna do another build video and

1141
01:15:56.920 --> 01:16:00.439
show all the updated parts and then
um I'm gonna do and I'm probably gonna

1142
01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:03.720
I live stream last year and I'm
gonna probably live stream again this year.

1143
01:16:03.760 --> 01:16:08.279
We got a decent signal out there, just kind of kind of a Hodgepodge

1144
01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:10.680
livestream, just like, hey,
get on, get on, you know,

1145
01:16:10.920 --> 01:16:13.399
click, go and walk around the
camp and do like a thirty minute

1146
01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:16.640
livestream. We might not have a
camp fire the whole time. I don't

1147
01:16:16.680 --> 01:16:19.640
think we're a new a camp fire
though. We gotta have some type of

1148
01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:24.680
fire to melt the marshall will be
a firefight. Yeah, I um,

1149
01:16:25.159 --> 01:16:30.199
I melt the marshmallows. I will
bring my biolight stove and we can light

1150
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:32.079
that and have that in there.
I think if you just bring the marshmallows

1151
01:16:32.119 --> 01:16:38.359
outside, they'll melt. That's probably
look like he was gonna be as warm

1152
01:16:38.399 --> 01:16:40.880
as last year. I checked that. I checked the weather the other day

1153
01:16:40.920 --> 01:16:44.319
for Decatur and it said it was
only gonna be like ninety eight. I

1154
01:16:44.439 --> 01:16:47.119
think it's obvious though, as you
could take after Josh instead of hot dogs.

1155
01:16:47.159 --> 01:16:50.359
You could try to cook marshmallows with
your antenna. Oh you can.

1156
01:16:51.680 --> 01:16:55.720
And my wife's marshmallows have bourbon in
them, which means they will catch on

1157
01:16:55.880 --> 01:17:00.439
fire that much faster fire. Yeah, let's do that. Don says he

1158
01:17:00.479 --> 01:17:05.000
got his buddy hecks today. Congrat
Oh freaking awesome. Yeah, yeah,

1159
01:17:05.520 --> 01:17:09.600
freaking awesome. Dude. Yeah,
and thank you for the sup the packing

1160
01:17:09.640 --> 01:17:13.520
tube too, and all the things
sport tube. Yeah, thank you for

1161
01:17:13.560 --> 01:17:15.560
the super chat. Don. He
says, really like in the format of

1162
01:17:15.560 --> 01:17:17.439
the Friday sales videos, the combo
of Hamm and Hamm adjacent has been really

1163
01:17:17.520 --> 01:17:21.840
kept those interesting. I'm trying to
not do the same old dribble every Friday,

1164
01:17:21.920 --> 01:17:24.760
So thank you for that. Don
appreciate your being here, Bud.

1165
01:17:25.760 --> 01:17:30.640
Yeah, watch my video on building
the Buddy Hecks down. Um, I'm

1166
01:17:30.680 --> 01:17:33.319
sure it's it's not hard, dude. You can you have you won't have

1167
01:17:33.319 --> 01:17:38.079
any trouble with it at all.
But um, so you can build a

1168
01:17:38.159 --> 01:17:41.960
Buddy Hacks. Okay, let me
stop you right there, Let me stop

1169
01:17:42.399 --> 01:17:45.960
let me stop you right there.
The Buddy Hecks elements are already pre cut.

1170
01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:48.239
I don't get a I don't get
a roll of wire of this big

1171
01:17:48.439 --> 01:17:51.640
from from Chris the way that Callum
sends this roll of wire, So it's

1172
01:17:51.720 --> 01:17:55.920
pre cut. Building a Buddy Hacks
is like building an engine. You just

1173
01:17:56.000 --> 01:18:00.600
put all the parks together. It's
easy. It's not having to a You

1174
01:18:00.640 --> 01:18:04.359
gotta tune. You've tuned, you've
tuned, you've retuned the elements on your

1175
01:18:04.439 --> 01:18:08.439
d X Commander like twice at the
Dearly Spy itself. I mean, I

1176
01:18:08.439 --> 01:18:13.479
don't know I was building the d
X Commander Classic out there. You rebuilt

1177
01:18:13.520 --> 01:18:15.239
it because you said the SWR was
off, so you rebuilt several of the

1178
01:18:15.319 --> 01:18:19.159
elements. Yeah, but I never
really built it right the first time.

1179
01:18:19.399 --> 01:18:24.880
Oh well, and I never really
fully completed it because I don't even really

1180
01:18:24.920 --> 01:18:27.680
put it. So I was like, because I always easy expedition. Yeah,

1181
01:18:28.239 --> 01:18:31.239
yeah, so that's why. Yeah, yeah, five or three nicks

1182
01:18:31.239 --> 01:18:34.359
so easy a caveman can do it. There you go. Yeah. So

1183
01:18:36.039 --> 01:18:41.079
yeah, but the X beams are
freaking a freaking awesome in just watch all

1184
01:18:41.319 --> 01:18:46.279
of our channels. Hit that bell
and you'll be notified of whatever new content

1185
01:18:46.600 --> 01:18:53.640
jobs because you don't know when that's
going to happen. This weekend Internet Internet,

1186
01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:57.399
Uh yeah, be watching for Josh's
live stream. That that should be

1187
01:18:57.439 --> 01:18:59.960
a fun live stream. I'm gonna
try. I'm gonna try. Yeah,

1188
01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:02.159
I'm gonna do my best. I've
got the Internet. Well, well,

1189
01:19:02.239 --> 01:19:05.600
we know your history of live streaming
in the field, so I'll keep my

1190
01:19:05.680 --> 01:19:11.479
fingers crossed for you. Yeah,
it's gonna be like you're gonna look like

1191
01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:15.079
Adam here a minute, and go
go for it. Make sure yeah,

1192
01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:20.319
yeah, make sure you're nearwhere near
Adam when you're live streaming, because he's

1193
01:19:20.520 --> 01:19:26.520
I cursed or something. I mean, we're literally talking about an island that

1194
01:19:27.079 --> 01:19:29.760
it's ran by the military, so
I assume they have some kind of huge

1195
01:19:29.840 --> 01:19:33.720
data, but not like not civilian
data. So it's not for US data,

1196
01:19:34.079 --> 01:19:36.880
right, not for US data.
Yeah, you don't you have any

1197
01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:40.760
kind of poll with any of them
guys like hey, you know, oh

1198
01:19:40.840 --> 01:19:48.039
yeah yeah, reposition satellite right,
yeah, yeah, I just making geostationary

1199
01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:51.800
for a little while, right,
yeah, just just move it from LEO

1200
01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:56.800
to GEO. Yeah, just put
it up there. That's what the thrusters

1201
01:19:56.840 --> 01:20:02.560
are for. That's yeah, yeah, yeah, been the whole no fuel

1202
01:20:02.600 --> 01:20:10.239
needed. I'll probably live stream since
I can now, but I will now

1203
01:20:10.800 --> 01:20:13.119
wait, wait, what do you
been from live streamer? I know?

1204
01:20:13.359 --> 01:20:15.199
Right? No, No, I
mean from from field day because I was

1205
01:20:15.279 --> 01:20:19.920
on a really old grandfathered cell phone
plan and I only had like six gigs

1206
01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:24.840
of data a month or something.
Now I have an unlimited plan, so

1207
01:20:25.520 --> 01:20:30.560
you actually it's like two dollars less, so go me. But yeah,

1208
01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:33.800
I don't think any of the other
videos that I shoot will be until after

1209
01:20:34.960 --> 01:20:39.000
and I don't I don't plan on
doing any editing at field day. So

1210
01:20:39.720 --> 01:20:45.279
oh no, I gotta edit.
That's really good. There's there's too much.

1211
01:20:45.319 --> 01:20:48.159
There's too much drinking, shooting and
ham radio to to be in front

1212
01:20:48.199 --> 01:20:54.359
of my computer editing. I gotta
get a video out Monday for so I

1213
01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:57.439
want to get a video. Dozens
of people are waiting for the video.

1214
01:20:59.640 --> 01:21:03.159
Yeah, does this tens and tens? And when I travel, uh,

1215
01:21:03.680 --> 01:21:06.920
sometimes, you know, I try
and post Monday, Wednesday and Fridays.

1216
01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:11.000
Sometimes I miss a day or two. It is what it is. Who

1217
01:21:11.079 --> 01:21:15.520
cares. Josh is gonna buy the
Dune Star website. He's bringing it up

1218
01:21:15.560 --> 01:21:17.279
right now. Yep, yep,
oh no, no, it's like,

1219
01:21:17.439 --> 01:21:25.359
leyeah, you are yea, yeah, your kid's bothering you. I think

1220
01:21:25.800 --> 01:21:32.479
I'll be all right back. That's
funny. But yeah, I gotta test.

1221
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:35.159
I gotta test my freaking star link
and see if I can. I've

1222
01:21:35.199 --> 01:21:39.680
got it here, I need to. I can't. Please please make sure

1223
01:21:39.760 --> 01:21:45.119
that's working. Yeah, because we
gotta watch something that's you know, not

1224
01:21:45.279 --> 01:21:49.319
Bob related. And since he's not
there taking up the bandwidth four six streams.

1225
01:21:49.399 --> 01:21:54.960
He's watching it at once and sleeping
through. Yes, Mike's laugh because

1226
01:21:54.960 --> 01:21:58.479
he know it's true. It's no, it's true. It's all about inside

1227
01:21:58.520 --> 01:22:01.399
and watch YouTube. I know,
just like why is that TV odd?

1228
01:22:01.560 --> 01:22:08.680
And your laptops on and your phone's
on and your tablets something else and it's

1229
01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:13.840
just sleep. Yeah, yeah,
yep, that is true. That is

1230
01:22:13.920 --> 01:22:17.760
true. So yep, it's gonna
be a fun weekend. I always look,

1231
01:22:18.000 --> 01:22:21.600
I'm looking forward to it always is. Probably I'm probably gonna wake up

1232
01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:27.000
like really early on Thursday just to
get out there because I'm I'm just I'm

1233
01:22:27.039 --> 01:22:30.680
excited. It's it's there's a great
time, you know. Yeah, totally,

1234
01:22:30.960 --> 01:22:32.600
totally. I'm not sure. I
think I'll probably be out there Thursday

1235
01:22:34.359 --> 01:22:40.319
lunchtime something like that. Yeah,
we've got we've got some we've got some

1236
01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:45.119
construction going on in our house right
now. We're having our den remodeled and

1237
01:22:45.479 --> 01:22:50.920
um den, our den, our
downstair where our main TV room is.

1238
01:22:54.199 --> 01:22:57.039
I haven't heard that we have.
We have two living areas. We call

1239
01:22:57.159 --> 01:22:59.119
one the living room and one the
den. I mean, I don't know.

1240
01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:01.479
I like that old fashioned wood style
that you know, we hated that.

1241
01:23:01.680 --> 01:23:04.960
No, it was when we bought
the house. It was like that

1242
01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:08.880
we hated that. We finally that
was the first thing we said we were

1243
01:23:08.920 --> 01:23:12.359
going to change. It's when twenty
freaking years we're finally changing it. So,

1244
01:23:12.840 --> 01:23:15.319
um, it's should be really nice. Yeah, it should be really

1245
01:23:15.399 --> 01:23:17.359
nice. But all that construction is
going on. They're supposed to be done

1246
01:23:17.399 --> 01:23:23.600
by like a week from tomorrow,
so I gotta figure out how that's going

1247
01:23:23.640 --> 01:23:28.119
to fit into my field day schedule. But um, yeah, I'll probably

1248
01:23:28.239 --> 01:23:32.920
leave somewhere around late morning something like
there, trying to be there by lunch

1249
01:23:33.000 --> 01:23:38.279
time or something. Um, but
that's yeah, we'll see. I don't

1250
01:23:38.319 --> 01:23:41.720
know how I'm gonna pack everything.
I don't know, right, I've got

1251
01:23:41.760 --> 01:23:45.319
a lot of stuff. Well,
all these batteries do you have to bring

1252
01:23:45.600 --> 01:23:53.039
all I just have so many radios, so many antennas. I've been ordering

1253
01:23:53.159 --> 01:23:57.680
parts to make like a really big
box. But I don't know. Yeah,

1254
01:23:58.319 --> 01:24:01.760
I don't know like I'm gonna bring
all that. I probably won't have

1255
01:24:01.800 --> 01:24:06.159
anything done by field day. Just
well I just got I got we don't

1256
01:24:06.239 --> 01:24:09.479
we don't need we won't need it. But I mean, I know you

1257
01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:12.600
want to play with it, so
and which is cool, but I might

1258
01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:15.600
just end up bringing one of the
bigger batteries, okay, um and using

1259
01:24:15.720 --> 01:24:18.960
that because I don't even have I
don't even have an extra charge controller.

1260
01:24:19.000 --> 01:24:21.600
I was looking through all my crap. Um, I mean I do,

1261
01:24:21.760 --> 01:24:25.960
but it's like this bouge ARV.
It's like a ten amp charge controller and

1262
01:24:26.159 --> 01:24:31.600
oh yeah, um yeah. It
was like, no, I've got I've

1263
01:24:31.640 --> 01:24:35.079
got bio enos in all my h
in all my battery boxes. But I

1264
01:24:35.199 --> 01:24:38.800
have well here, I'll show you
guys. If you don't, I've got

1265
01:24:38.880 --> 01:24:43.600
a sixty I've got a sixty amp
Rhenergy. There's there's a couple there's a

1266
01:24:43.680 --> 01:24:45.720
couple three hundred amp hour batteries there, and there's a couple of hundred amp

1267
01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:49.199
batteries. And so I just got
this. He's building a little alter.

1268
01:24:50.279 --> 01:24:56.840
Yeah yeah, right, it's my
alter to Kevin from I just got that

1269
01:24:57.119 --> 01:25:00.319
zero gauge wire today. Um got
some other stuff. So I'm gonna have

1270
01:25:00.359 --> 01:25:05.039
to Kia dude. I love him, man, he's awesome. Yeah,

1271
01:25:05.119 --> 01:25:10.399
he's cool. I needs a good
guy. Yeah. So so I I

1272
01:25:10.600 --> 01:25:17.199
want to build a six hundred amp
hour battery box. M sure, because

1273
01:25:17.520 --> 01:25:24.359
I get power the problem is like
how, um, I need to really

1274
01:25:24.479 --> 01:25:28.680
think about how I would actually design
it. I don't even know. Like

1275
01:25:28.760 --> 01:25:30.800
it's got to have wheels. Each
one of those three hundred hour batteries is

1276
01:25:30.840 --> 01:25:35.640
seventy eight pounds, so there's you
know, I don't do maths on live

1277
01:25:35.680 --> 01:25:41.239
streams, but that's close to one
hundred and sixty pounds yum, which I

1278
01:25:41.840 --> 01:25:45.159
can lift. One hundred and sixty
pounds. I'm pretty sure buck pounds um

1279
01:25:45.399 --> 01:25:49.119
got to be in a wheeled case. Yeah, one of those. If

1280
01:25:49.199 --> 01:25:53.079
you said seventy eight and you wanted
six of them, no, no,

1281
01:25:53.199 --> 01:25:56.479
no, no, all right too. We're definitely not doing frank math on

1282
01:25:56.560 --> 01:26:01.520
a live stream. But but you
you said six six hundred ampowers, yea

1283
01:26:02.720 --> 01:26:08.600
three hundred two of those together,
that's six hundred. I thought you met

1284
01:26:08.600 --> 01:26:12.560
one hundred am powers. Well,
yes, but six of them, yeah,

1285
01:26:13.680 --> 01:26:17.760
you'd still be around the same weight. So Dennis's Dennis's uh, Dennis's

1286
01:26:18.520 --> 01:26:23.239
mind is running right now. He
says, unlimited power. So so we're

1287
01:26:23.239 --> 01:26:27.399
gonna see a six hundred am Denco
battery this time next month. I'm guessing

1288
01:26:28.079 --> 01:26:32.680
he's gonna do seven hundred. I'll
probably do six hundred and one ampowers.

1289
01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:35.439
So I don't know how I'm gonna
build it. I don't even know how,

1290
01:26:36.000 --> 01:26:40.000
um, because I would like to
be able to use these batteries if

1291
01:26:40.039 --> 01:26:44.039
just everybody wants to plug into these
for their radios, Yeah, that'll power

1292
01:26:44.159 --> 01:26:48.319
all our stations. Um, I
bet it would. Yeah. Yeah,

1293
01:26:49.239 --> 01:26:54.239
you think for the little bit of
radio. It'll depend on the number of

1294
01:26:54.359 --> 01:26:58.880
radios and how much they draw.
We're gonna have overdraw three radio Yeah,

1295
01:26:59.199 --> 01:27:02.359
I think four four are we gonna
have four four radios one hundred watts?

1296
01:27:02.399 --> 01:27:06.199
The draw is going to be interesting. That's actually side band. Yeah,

1297
01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:10.880
so it's probably true, but I'm
sure. I like, like, we

1298
01:27:11.039 --> 01:27:13.880
did a lot of FT eight at
the Plaque event a couple of weeks ago.

1299
01:27:14.760 --> 01:27:17.640
Yeah, that was unreal. How
much FTA every time I looked at

1300
01:27:17.720 --> 01:27:23.760
y'all you were doing. Yeah,
And I suspect I suspect we'll probably be

1301
01:27:23.800 --> 01:27:26.720
doing more of that just because it's
easier and a lot of times we're just

1302
01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:29.399
shooting the breeze, hanging out.
Like field Day for us is not like

1303
01:27:30.960 --> 01:27:32.359
I mean, I've said this for
years, like field Day is every day

1304
01:27:32.359 --> 01:27:36.239
because I do PODA, you know, so field Day itself isn't as special

1305
01:27:36.319 --> 01:27:40.279
to me anymore because it's just another
day. It's field Day is more a

1306
01:27:40.399 --> 01:27:44.359
time to get together with your buddies, and it's the camaraderie. It's the

1307
01:27:44.439 --> 01:27:47.720
camping, it's the shooting, it's
the smoking and joking. As you were,

1308
01:27:48.520 --> 01:27:53.800
um that kind of food d yes. So it's just about having a

1309
01:27:53.840 --> 01:27:57.720
good time, you know. Um. But yeah, I've never done FT

1310
01:27:57.840 --> 01:28:00.560
eight for field Day, so I'm
actually looking forward to doing that. And

1311
01:28:00.960 --> 01:28:03.720
uh him Radio Crusader says, you
could APRS for six years with six hundred

1312
01:28:03.720 --> 01:28:10.199
amp hours. That's a damn good
idea. That's a good point. That

1313
01:28:10.319 --> 01:28:14.039
is a really good idea. You
could probably do like a one kW six

1314
01:28:14.159 --> 01:28:19.079
meters APRS beacon. Just you know, I made an AMP. I don't

1315
01:28:19.119 --> 01:28:23.720
have an AMP. So the reason
I got these Kevin So, Kevin uh

1316
01:28:24.439 --> 01:28:29.640
is going to sponsor this from Bioeno. Um side Boom and I have told

1317
01:28:29.680 --> 01:28:31.479
this story before with side Boom and
I have been talking for like over a

1318
01:28:31.600 --> 01:28:36.680
year now, probably since I moved
to Texas. Um he's got this thousand

1319
01:28:36.720 --> 01:28:40.279
wat amp and we've been wanting to
do this. And screw you, Josh

1320
01:28:40.319 --> 01:28:45.720
for doing this before. Me because
yeah, yeah, and you've got that

1321
01:28:45.760 --> 01:28:48.880
awesome amp. So we want to
do a thousand wat PODA activation. We're

1322
01:28:48.880 --> 01:28:51.640
gonna bring out the d X commander. We need, but we need power.

1323
01:28:51.760 --> 01:28:58.439
So uh. Kevin was kind enough
to to sponsor this uh endeavor and

1324
01:28:58.840 --> 01:29:02.359
he was like curious to see what
they'll do too. So it's really the

1325
01:29:02.640 --> 01:29:05.920
the antenna is the question that comes
up when you start talking about doing a

1326
01:29:06.000 --> 01:29:10.720
thousand wats PODA, what anten are
you going to use? The ex commander.

1327
01:29:12.159 --> 01:29:15.920
That's true. It should be able
to take calum testing sixteen hundred two

1328
01:29:15.920 --> 01:29:19.079
thousand wats or something key down for
a minute and it didn't even phase it.

1329
01:29:19.199 --> 01:29:25.640
So yeah, it's the commander is
a high power antenna. I couldn't

1330
01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:28.439
do that at the beach though,
in the parking lot with everybody running around.

1331
01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:30.880
Yeah, that would be nice.
Don't do that r F field test.

1332
01:29:31.880 --> 01:29:35.520
Yeah, and you're fine, just
don't do that, just skip,

1333
01:29:35.560 --> 01:29:40.279
don't do it. Yeah, rias
here, don't Yeah, rias here though.

1334
01:29:40.399 --> 01:29:45.000
Yea, she's not with the Arral
anymore. She's keeping us autist.

1335
01:29:45.039 --> 01:29:49.800
She's keeping us autist. Yeah,
you are. Fxport evaluation no matter how

1336
01:29:49.960 --> 01:29:53.960
much BS it is well, I've
got a bunch of messing and polony cable

1337
01:29:54.000 --> 01:29:57.800
that. Well, I've got plenty
to keep it the antenna far away so

1338
01:29:58.399 --> 01:30:00.560
from us. You know, I
can't I can't say anything about the pedestrians.

1339
01:30:00.640 --> 01:30:02.560
But because you know, nothing's worse
than when you wake up in the

1340
01:30:02.640 --> 01:30:09.479
morning you're like, hey, my
eyes don't work right anymore. I guess

1341
01:30:09.520 --> 01:30:13.199
that's the thing. Oh yeah,
certain frequencies, your eyeballs are going to

1342
01:30:13.239 --> 01:30:16.000
be the first thing that gets hit. Bro. Probably not HF, though,

1343
01:30:16.960 --> 01:30:23.079
uh depends on the frequencies you're talking
about higher side microwave, maybe no

1344
01:30:23.680 --> 01:30:29.319
high The funny thing is that,
according to the charts, HF is actually

1345
01:30:30.159 --> 01:30:33.079
worse than some VHF frequencies. So
it goes like this and then it goes

1346
01:30:33.159 --> 01:30:44.159
down and it shoots straight back up
from microwaves. Mayhap will exercise a tiny

1347
01:30:44.279 --> 01:30:49.520
bit of caution. Yeah, but
it can't be I mean, what thirty

1348
01:30:49.600 --> 01:30:55.439
fifty feet maybe something like that.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, you

1349
01:30:55.520 --> 01:30:58.479
were running eight hund watts and you
were in the bed of your truck.

1350
01:30:59.279 --> 01:31:01.840
Yeah, but I'm but I was
also running twenty twenty meters. I wasn't.

1351
01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:05.600
I wasn't at a frequency. Yeah, will probably be on twenty or

1352
01:31:05.640 --> 01:31:10.000
fifteen. And I and I know
everybody's like, oh, you didn't do

1353
01:31:10.039 --> 01:31:13.279
the calculations, right. I did
the calculations, right. I did test

1354
01:31:13.479 --> 01:31:16.319
higher frequency. I got well away
from it and there was nobody around.

1355
01:31:16.439 --> 01:31:19.359
But at eight hundred watts, at
that frequency, you were about five or

1356
01:31:19.399 --> 01:31:23.479
six feet from the antenna, which
I was well away from that. It

1357
01:31:23.720 --> 01:31:27.199
was fine. Fine, yeah,
yeah, go ahead. Good. No.

1358
01:31:27.439 --> 01:31:30.119
The other thing too, is that
the MP limits are like really conservative.

1359
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:35.439
Like I mentioned the chat that you
know, um Apple has like this

1360
01:31:35.680 --> 01:31:40.640
iPhone next to text to your brain. And the reason I get away without

1361
01:31:40.720 --> 01:31:45.079
running it multiple gi yeah, they
you know, they use SAR testing,

1362
01:31:45.119 --> 01:31:49.119
which is more precise. I've got
enough call acts to get us. Yeah,

1363
01:31:49.199 --> 01:31:53.479
you'll be fine. Oh yeah,
we've got plenty of room out there.

1364
01:31:53.520 --> 01:31:56.279
That's not a problem with just or
I will just overlay in the video

1365
01:31:57.039 --> 01:32:00.680
Kenny Loggin's danger Zone the whole time
and there you go to the case.

1366
01:32:00.159 --> 01:32:03.159
You know, we'll scatter your ashes
in one of these parks. Okay,

1367
01:32:03.279 --> 01:32:09.840
that's right. Remember about eyeballs is
that like your body really doesn't even acknowledge

1368
01:32:09.880 --> 01:32:13.840
them as things. A lot of
times like, eyeballs are really like complicated

1369
01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:17.840
thing with the human body, and
they're really susceptible to stuff like shoving RF

1370
01:32:18.000 --> 01:32:24.960
into them. So just seriously,
justus just be cautious about what you're doing.

1371
01:32:25.119 --> 01:32:28.600
I want to know where your research
counting frowns on that one. All

1372
01:32:28.640 --> 01:32:30.960
right, well, let's let's put
an end to the fun police. I'll

1373
01:32:31.000 --> 01:32:33.399
send you a link. I'll send
you a link. Please please, We're

1374
01:32:33.439 --> 01:32:39.199
gonna sound have some fun. Okay, that's the Yeah, Yeah, that's

1375
01:32:39.239 --> 01:32:47.279
what's good. Who's Fred Fred McGuire, he's Rido Crusader. He's in the

1376
01:32:47.359 --> 01:32:53.760
chat. He's he's good Radio Crusade. So I have I don't know that's

1377
01:32:53.920 --> 01:32:58.039
that's his that's his zoom name.
Don't worry about it. So I have

1378
01:32:58.159 --> 01:33:03.159
about five hours of go flow that
I'll be bringing to the dear lease.

1379
01:33:04.159 --> 01:33:08.720
But I think that's going to be
for all of the other things and up

1380
01:33:08.760 --> 01:33:17.600
for radio. So you don't measure
batteries and why Empires took six six thy

1381
01:33:17.800 --> 01:33:23.720
forty eight wide hours divided by twelve, it's five O four Okay, yeah,

1382
01:33:24.079 --> 01:33:27.640
yeah, I've got the Delta two
Max Pro or Delta two Delta two

1383
01:33:27.720 --> 01:33:31.279
Pro Max whichever one it's called.
So, yeah, things pretty cool.

1384
01:33:31.439 --> 01:33:33.359
That thing, it's pretty cool.
I'm going to take that out too.

1385
01:33:33.880 --> 01:33:36.760
I took I took an AMP to
Poto like two years ago when we went

1386
01:33:36.760 --> 01:33:41.239
out to Outer Banks with a Ham
Radio ad Venture Club. I took my

1387
01:33:41.319 --> 01:33:44.720
kPa five hundred out there. And
that's a that's I've told the story before.

1388
01:33:44.760 --> 01:33:46.960
That's the story I tell where I
was operating sideband. It was great,

1389
01:33:47.159 --> 01:33:50.239
and then na Yo sat down in
front of radio and started operating CW

1390
01:33:50.520 --> 01:33:57.319
and my AMP was being run from
my small generator and you could hear the

1391
01:33:57.399 --> 01:34:00.880
Morse code on the generator when it
would bog down the RPM as he was

1392
01:34:00.960 --> 01:34:06.560
tapping on Morris codes. He would
be like it was freaking awesome, but

1393
01:34:06.720 --> 01:34:10.640
he but yeah, we were pushing
about five hundred fifty watts from that kPa

1394
01:34:10.720 --> 01:34:14.880
five hundred off the icy seventy three
hundred into the buddy hacks from a park

1395
01:34:15.000 --> 01:34:16.159
and I'm like, oh, that
was fun. I got to do that

1396
01:34:16.199 --> 01:34:19.039
again. So I'm gonna use my
eco flow to take out to a park

1397
01:34:19.199 --> 01:34:25.359
um probably next month sometime and try
to see how long that'll last. It's

1398
01:34:25.399 --> 01:34:29.600
gonna be a double test test for
Poda at the park and a test for

1399
01:34:29.760 --> 01:34:31.920
the how well that eco flow performs
with with an AMP running behind it.

1400
01:34:32.000 --> 01:34:34.760
But I think it'll do great.
I think it'll do just fine. Yeah,

1401
01:34:35.039 --> 01:34:39.920
I've used well it's one twenty.
Um, so I run my um,

1402
01:34:40.279 --> 01:34:44.760
myself with a power Genius on.
Um. Actually I run on power

1403
01:34:44.840 --> 01:34:49.520
kits now and um it's fine.
But with it the para is the Para

1404
01:34:49.600 --> 01:34:56.239
Genius one twenty. Right, Well, I have two power kits and I

1405
01:34:56.319 --> 01:35:00.119
have two forty volts wired to my
house. Yeah yeah, well two your

1406
01:35:00.159 --> 01:35:02.399
house, sure, yeah, but
I'm talking about like a portable set up.

1407
01:35:02.560 --> 01:35:06.119
Yes, you can use the power
Genius on one twenty. Okay,

1408
01:35:06.399 --> 01:35:10.720
you can use it on one twenty, but you only got like eight hundred

1409
01:35:10.720 --> 01:35:13.720
wats out of it. Yeah yeah, see the kPa five hundreds went ten

1410
01:35:13.800 --> 01:35:16.279
only one twenty only. But it's
only five hundred, five hundred fifty wats.

1411
01:35:16.319 --> 01:35:20.359
It's not a high powered amplifier.
So um yeah. So the switching

1412
01:35:20.439 --> 01:35:24.920
power supply will you know, it'll
detect and the way it does it the

1413
01:35:25.000 --> 01:35:30.039
internals is that it will um you
know, uh basically pad an attenuator input.

1414
01:35:30.199 --> 01:35:34.159
So yeah, yeah, cool,
good, Well that'd be fun,

1415
01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:38.960
Freddie, what's up, dude,
ain't not much guys, how are y'all

1416
01:35:39.000 --> 01:35:41.960
doing? And I gotta you got
a freaking uh, you got a freaking

1417
01:35:42.000 --> 01:35:44.520
great shirt on. That's the only
way I was about to say. Man,

1418
01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:48.960
I did not playing that. That
was not me all day. I

1419
01:35:50.560 --> 01:35:55.399
rewatched Hayden's view of his video where
he's walking down the stairs and meets us,

1420
01:35:55.680 --> 01:35:58.359
and Josh was quick to point out
that he was. He was wearing

1421
01:35:58.359 --> 01:36:01.159
an hrcc T shirt. So you
gotta take the shots for you. I

1422
01:36:01.159 --> 01:36:04.159
mean, you got you gotta grab
the shots when they're there. Man,

1423
01:36:04.279 --> 01:36:09.560
come on, that was awesome to
see from Hayden's perspective, that whole thing

1424
01:36:09.600 --> 01:36:12.800
with us down in the basement and
walking down the stairs. It's pretty cool.

1425
01:36:12.920 --> 01:36:15.119
I didn't. I didn't see Hayden's
video. It's on his Uh,

1426
01:36:15.199 --> 01:36:18.199
it's on his it's on his channel. It's an uploaded video on this channel.

1427
01:36:18.239 --> 01:36:20.960
What's up, Freddy? How are
you tonight? I'm hanging in there.

1428
01:36:21.000 --> 01:36:25.399
It's been a long day at work
and uh, spending some time with

1429
01:36:25.479 --> 01:36:30.359
the grandkids tonight, and it's uh, I'm more out frankly, actually,

1430
01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:33.800
I bet I bet you, But
trying to get some things done. Got

1431
01:36:33.920 --> 01:36:42.640
fourteen days to retirement fourteen Wow?
Really almost there. I really close to

1432
01:36:42.680 --> 01:36:46.800
the finish line. And it's been
busier than it has the last thirty three

1433
01:36:46.920 --> 01:36:51.560
years. Wow, because they know
I'm leaving. Yeah. Yeah, so

1434
01:36:53.840 --> 01:36:56.920
you actually leave, it doesn't matter. Oh yeah, actual leave? Is

1435
01:36:56.960 --> 01:37:01.239
that fourteen working days or just two
weeks? Fourteen? Actual? July first

1436
01:37:01.640 --> 01:37:05.640
is technically the last day, and
it's a Saturday, so I'll be off

1437
01:37:06.119 --> 01:37:09.880
the last. But you just come
back as a contractor and make four times

1438
01:37:09.920 --> 01:37:14.720
as more. Right, ironically enough, that's that's in the works. So

1439
01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:17.560
Maybury will happen come August first,
a couple of days a week and some

1440
01:37:17.920 --> 01:37:21.159
side contracts stuff, so we'll see
what happens. My wife wants to do

1441
01:37:21.319 --> 01:37:26.159
that. She's she's looking at early
retirement and she's like, I could do

1442
01:37:26.279 --> 01:37:29.560
contract work and make more money.
I'm like, let's let's do that.

1443
01:37:29.800 --> 01:37:32.720
Yeah that's work. So yeah,
that's pretty cool. What are you doing

1444
01:37:32.800 --> 01:37:36.039
for field day? Man? Man? I tell you what. Me and

1445
01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:42.199
my cousin coordinate our family reunion every
year and it always falls the first weekend

1446
01:37:42.279 --> 01:37:45.720
after her Father's Day. So this
is where we're gonna be this year.

1447
01:37:45.920 --> 01:37:54.039
Now I'm gonna try to slowly work
someone else into my responsibilities for next because

1448
01:37:54.119 --> 01:37:58.439
normally we go up to Toss up
to Woodward Park and join the TRC for

1449
01:37:59.439 --> 01:38:02.560
field Day. So huh yeah,
not this year, I'm afraid. There

1450
01:38:02.680 --> 01:38:08.119
was one day. There was one
year that my family, my wife's family

1451
01:38:08.239 --> 01:38:12.600
reunion, actually was on. It
moves around sometimes, and there was it's

1452
01:38:12.720 --> 01:38:15.279
usually in well, they had it
for years, and for several years in

1453
01:38:15.279 --> 01:38:17.920
August, and we were always wanting
to move it back to June because it's

1454
01:38:17.960 --> 01:38:20.960
so hot in August. And then
there was after we moved it back to

1455
01:38:21.000 --> 01:38:25.199
June. Vire was one year that
it was field Day weekend. Ever since

1456
01:38:25.239 --> 01:38:29.399
then it's been early June. But
that year I took my Maestro with me,

1457
01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:34.600
so I just uh clicked up the
Maestro operated right back here, right

1458
01:38:34.680 --> 01:38:36.920
back home to that radio sitting right
there. I was like, hey,

1459
01:38:38.079 --> 01:38:41.880
I made like seventy or eighty contacts. It wasn't much, but I participated

1460
01:38:41.960 --> 01:38:45.279
in field Day. So I was
real happy. I was real happy that

1461
01:38:45.359 --> 01:38:48.720
you're a great idea. Actually yeah, yeah, so it was fun.

1462
01:38:50.920 --> 01:38:54.520
Hey, thanks for having me on. I appreciate it. It's you bet,

1463
01:38:54.960 --> 01:38:58.520
it's a it's a it's a bucket
list item for me. So well

1464
01:38:59.640 --> 01:39:03.720
the least it's gonna be a good
deal awesome. Working on a series of

1465
01:39:03.800 --> 01:39:06.760
All Star videos. I'm trying to
do something from beginning to end, and

1466
01:39:06.840 --> 01:39:11.840
I've got three of them in all
ready to drop after first of July.

1467
01:39:12.039 --> 01:39:18.479
So looking for that all Star.
Yeah, yeah, a Star. That's

1468
01:39:18.560 --> 01:39:21.520
that thing that you that that you
need to build and never have. Frank

1469
01:39:21.880 --> 01:39:27.079
I built kind of like DX Commander
for me. It does not work for

1470
01:39:27.560 --> 01:39:30.159
you. That's how I see Donna
like fix it. I'm done with this

1471
01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:35.760
now. I'm working on art it
man. Artis awesome. I love artis

1472
01:39:35.800 --> 01:39:44.600
fun. That art Star is cool. But the thing that fails with All

1473
01:39:44.720 --> 01:39:48.640
Star, UM, Hot Spots and
other like little networks like that, is

1474
01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:55.399
um, is it really hand radio? One? I'm transmitting watts to a

1475
01:39:55.720 --> 01:40:00.479
thing that is right here, and
it's amateur radio between me and the thing

1476
01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:03.000
that's always a couple of feet the
way. Yes, yes, the answer

1477
01:40:03.119 --> 01:40:06.399
is yes, but not a loss. It is yes, but but barely.

1478
01:40:06.880 --> 01:40:11.560
Yes. No, it's really amateur
radio. It is it is.

1479
01:40:12.079 --> 01:40:16.439
Yeah, you're talking about you're talking
about You're talking about micro and Miller watts.

1480
01:40:16.520 --> 01:40:18.760
What the hell do you think QRP
is it? We got a whole

1481
01:40:18.840 --> 01:40:28.079
group of people that won't. Yeah, but QRP is not wats QRP means

1482
01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:30.680
low power. There's not a number
on it. But but that is still

1483
01:40:30.760 --> 01:40:38.319
transmitting over distance versus if you're doing
if you're doing a digital conversion, it

1484
01:40:38.520 --> 01:40:42.159
is Ham radio up until the point
that it hits your little do hickey that

1485
01:40:42.239 --> 01:40:45.479
connects to the Internet. That's the
reality of it. I don't know,

1486
01:40:45.720 --> 01:40:48.880
I guess I guess that means APRS
and Rohan radio DWAN. Either it is

1487
01:40:48.960 --> 01:40:53.079
if it's point to point or when
link. If it's point to point,

1488
01:40:53.199 --> 01:40:56.479
it is absolutely a lot of people
enjoy the point. But but but it's

1489
01:40:56.600 --> 01:41:00.279
it's a lot of the huts.
But I see the useful wait wait wait,

1490
01:41:00.279 --> 01:41:04.720
wait, waits. But so let
me say something. Let me say

1491
01:41:04.760 --> 01:41:09.760
something. Just because something connects to
the Internet and makes you enjoy it more

1492
01:41:10.119 --> 01:41:14.319
doesn't mean it's bad. And to
say it's like not truly Ham radio,

1493
01:41:14.399 --> 01:41:16.079
there's nothing wrong with saying that.
It's like, yeah, it leverages the

1494
01:41:16.159 --> 01:41:18.600
Internet, but it's still super fun
and you used to still do it.

1495
01:41:18.920 --> 01:41:23.199
You should just know that going in. That's all I'm That's all I'm saying,

1496
01:41:24.039 --> 01:41:26.159
right, Yeah, that's fun.
Yeah, that's a good part.

1497
01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:28.960
I mean I used to anything away
from it, like, there's no reason

1498
01:41:29.039 --> 01:41:31.560
to get upset about It's like,
yet it highly leverages the Internet. But

1499
01:41:31.680 --> 01:41:35.680
guess what we highly leverage the internet
for with everything, And isn't that right

1500
01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:40.319
about ham radio that we can integrate
it with the Internet. That's the best

1501
01:41:40.399 --> 01:41:43.000
part. Used to get stuff.
I used to get a lot of comments

1502
01:41:43.079 --> 01:41:45.960
on my DMR videos. This was
this was a long time. People have

1503
01:41:45.039 --> 01:41:47.439
pretty much come around on this.
Well. I used to get comments all

1504
01:41:47.439 --> 01:41:49.640
the time. I'm DMR saying well, yeah, but DMR is not real

1505
01:41:49.680 --> 01:41:54.159
ham radio because you can't use it
without the Internet. I'm like, yes,

1506
01:41:54.279 --> 01:41:57.560
you can, you can. You
can use you can use DMR simplex

1507
01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:00.159
just the same way you can do
any other mode. I use DMR in

1508
01:42:00.279 --> 01:42:04.159
my search and rescue group. We
have DMR repeaters and they're all local,

1509
01:42:04.560 --> 01:42:09.680
and we have DMR simplex frequencies.
We can use two. We could talk

1510
01:42:09.760 --> 01:42:14.199
on the same frequency on two different
simplex on two different time groups. There

1511
01:42:14.359 --> 01:42:17.359
is usefulness in that. But this
the hot spots really I'm just like,

1512
01:42:17.760 --> 01:42:20.920
it's right there. Well, yeah, don't get me wrong. It enhances,

1513
01:42:20.960 --> 01:42:26.439
it enhances the existing mode. It
now now for everybody that lives in

1514
01:42:26.520 --> 01:42:29.760
a in a small town where there's
one repeater and the guy who owns it's

1515
01:42:29.840 --> 01:42:31.800
kind of a jerk and you don't
really jibe with everybody on that repeater,

1516
01:42:31.880 --> 01:42:36.279
and we all know you're probably that
person. There's probably somebody watching right now,

1517
01:42:36.520 --> 01:42:40.279
right, so you know what A
hot spot is the best answer.

1518
01:42:40.399 --> 01:42:45.119
And I'm not taking anything away from
that anything at all. Right, that's

1519
01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:50.279
the point, right, it's it. It's anybody who puts like a hey,

1520
01:42:50.760 --> 01:42:55.279
this is good and that's bad,
That's not what I'm doing. I

1521
01:42:55.359 --> 01:42:59.520
just want you to understand the reality
of it. The reality of it highly

1522
01:42:59.760 --> 01:43:03.279
high the Internet leverage, but often
better than the tools who won't let you

1523
01:43:03.359 --> 01:43:09.880
talk on their repeater because that's their
space in the free the free air that

1524
01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:12.720
you're all living in, that that
have a big attitude when you go on

1525
01:43:12.760 --> 01:43:15.279
there, there's a ton of people
to have that problem. Get on your

1526
01:43:15.319 --> 01:43:17.319
pie Star, get on your open
spot. I enjoy your radio. I

1527
01:43:17.399 --> 01:43:21.119
don't really think that Frank believes all
that Crappy's saying I think he just is

1528
01:43:21.359 --> 01:43:28.680
pissed that he can't get his all
start. No, no, I got

1529
01:43:28.800 --> 01:43:30.399
my worked All States over DMR.
What are you talking about? Yeah,

1530
01:43:30.560 --> 01:43:38.199
yeah, yeah, I got DXCC
over d MARKS. Yeah. Now,

1531
01:43:38.319 --> 01:43:41.239
Frank, you need All Star man
now starts fun. Don't give up your

1532
01:43:41.359 --> 01:43:45.039
HF radio for it. But my
god, it's fun. How great mode?

1533
01:43:45.239 --> 01:43:48.239
How do people link repeaters over the
internet? They're not doing microwave linking.

1534
01:43:48.359 --> 01:43:56.199
Some do, some does, but
but most of them are Internet linked.

1535
01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:59.640
And there's a system school too.
There's a system in North Texas called

1536
01:43:59.640 --> 01:44:03.920
the ETC North Central Texas Connect.
They used to have literally three three machines

1537
01:44:03.960 --> 01:44:09.159
at every repeater side, the repeater
itself a transmit and receive to linked to

1538
01:44:09.319 --> 01:44:12.399
for RF linking between the spot.
They've linked everything to the All Star now

1539
01:44:12.439 --> 01:44:15.640
because they got tired of doing maintenance
on three repeaters, three repeaters at every

1540
01:44:15.680 --> 01:44:18.560
side, and they had like twenty
repeater sides, twenty five repeater sides,

1541
01:44:19.640 --> 01:44:27.000
seventy five system Amanda, yeah them
too. It's not high on my list.

1542
01:44:27.079 --> 01:44:30.600
I'd rather play with art end and
HF and other things. And when

1543
01:44:30.720 --> 01:44:35.159
when um All Stars sitting like just
right there, it's not like and that's

1544
01:44:35.199 --> 01:44:39.960
great. So Amanda ham Nation,
Amanda, she got an a r DC

1545
01:44:40.319 --> 01:44:43.840
you know, grant for her club, right, and they now have microwave

1546
01:44:43.920 --> 01:44:47.079
linked repeaters up and down Colorado.
Now that's cool. That's my boy,

1547
01:44:47.479 --> 01:44:51.279
that's all. That's cool. Well, maybe I'm miss speaking. There are

1548
01:44:51.399 --> 01:44:55.640
they are? They are RF linked? I might have misspokes saying they're microwave

1549
01:44:55.680 --> 01:45:00.399
length there. Yeah there r RF
linked? Yeah they might maybe, who

1550
01:45:00.439 --> 01:45:03.359
knows. I don't want to.
I don't want to. Yeah, I

1551
01:45:04.079 --> 01:45:08.640
know the factual is RF linked?
Is the point? Yeah? Yeah linked?

1552
01:45:08.720 --> 01:45:11.199
Yeah. It's fun to be on
All Star, Frank. That's why

1553
01:45:11.199 --> 01:45:13.520
I keep telling you need to join
all Start so you can keep up with

1554
01:45:13.600 --> 01:45:16.479
this one. And the audio quality
is good. All Star has good audio

1555
01:45:16.640 --> 01:45:23.319
quality. It's good stuff. D
Yeah, can't so to just know what

1556
01:45:23.439 --> 01:45:25.479
you're doing, that's all. It
is easy, the whole point. It

1557
01:45:25.680 --> 01:45:29.920
was pretty cool that what you did
with Jason running All Star on what what

1558
01:45:30.159 --> 01:45:32.439
service was it in the cloud?
You're doing cloud compute? Yea with it?

1559
01:45:33.000 --> 01:45:38.640
Um I was it on um aszor
was it Amazon? Or No?

1560
01:45:38.760 --> 01:45:43.159
It's dream Host, dream house.
I've had dream Host is my web host

1561
01:45:43.199 --> 01:45:47.680
for like twenty years and I just
purchased a new vps U virtual private server

1562
01:45:48.039 --> 01:45:53.239
from their data center that I spun
up a new version of Debbian on and

1563
01:45:53.359 --> 01:45:58.279
installed um hey sel on. So
it was it was all we did,

1564
01:45:58.319 --> 01:46:00.760
all on a live stream. Kyle
was with me, and we just installed

1565
01:46:00.880 --> 01:46:03.840
all star in a in a vert
in a on a Debbian server in the

1566
01:46:03.920 --> 01:46:09.039
cloud, so totally doable. And
now and and it hasn't It hasn't dropped

1567
01:46:09.079 --> 01:46:11.800
since then. It's amazing. How
much better a cloud server in a data

1568
01:46:11.840 --> 01:46:17.079
center on a on a triple redundant
backups is a p than a pie pie

1569
01:46:17.119 --> 01:46:20.800
two sitting right there under. It's
amazing how much better it works. So

1570
01:46:21.680 --> 01:46:25.800
uh, Dawn, and the chat
says, Frank is just upset there's no

1571
01:46:25.880 --> 01:46:29.199
one else who exchange oars and packets
with him. I was like, I

1572
01:46:29.359 --> 01:46:32.359
have four nos in my house running
right now. I don't need I mean,

1573
01:46:32.600 --> 01:46:38.520
if you if you yeah, I
mean Arden is Arden often relies on

1574
01:46:38.600 --> 01:46:41.479
the Internet also, so let's put
let's call a spade a spade here.

1575
01:46:42.239 --> 01:46:48.119
The main point of artist to have
a mesh network across a city that here

1576
01:46:48.199 --> 01:46:53.079
in the flat lands. Here in
the flat lands, it's not that practical.

1577
01:46:53.199 --> 01:46:58.000
California has a really good rf arden
network here do yea, but here

1578
01:46:58.039 --> 01:47:02.319
in the flatlands super out and it
gets everybody. Yeah, why is it

1579
01:47:02.439 --> 01:47:06.640
bad in the flat lands. Isn't
the flat because because nobody nobody, because

1580
01:47:06.680 --> 01:47:11.199
nobody has a note up, because
we don't have mountains here to put they

1581
01:47:11.239 --> 01:47:15.079
can't propagate. But you have flat
lands, so you theoretically don't have mountains

1582
01:47:15.119 --> 01:47:19.319
to go over. I can't.
Yeah, but then that takes that takes

1583
01:47:19.359 --> 01:47:25.239
people's people actually putting effort into putting
arden nose on towers. And we're talking

1584
01:47:25.239 --> 01:47:30.039
about him radio operators here. So
yeah, really quick, Mark Wolf,

1585
01:47:30.159 --> 01:47:34.680
thank you very much for the offer. K Booty, my favorite Booty of

1586
01:47:34.800 --> 01:47:40.640
the amateur radio booties. Yeah yeah, has sent me actually two all star

1587
01:47:40.840 --> 01:47:44.840
nodes. The first one leverages the
the a Linco, which I love,

1588
01:47:45.359 --> 01:47:47.359
but I had nothing about problems getting
that thing running. And so now he

1589
01:47:47.680 --> 01:47:51.119
did send me a Shari and I
do need to do it and there will

1590
01:47:51.119 --> 01:47:56.760
be a videoies are really really good. Yeah. Yeah, I mess mine

1591
01:47:56.840 --> 01:47:59.359
up and that's why it's not running
at the house. Yeah, So there's

1592
01:47:59.399 --> 01:48:01.239
the The first one I built was
the room and linko. It's right there

1593
01:48:01.319 --> 01:48:05.439
actually, and Don several times to
fix mine. I just need to take

1594
01:48:05.479 --> 01:48:09.560
it up on it. Yeah,
that that deserves you know, a mention

1595
01:48:09.640 --> 01:48:13.880
too. So Arden, if you're
doing Arden with a tunnel that's tunneled over

1596
01:48:13.960 --> 01:48:16.600
the internet, right, So it's
it's the same. It's if you want

1597
01:48:16.640 --> 01:48:19.760
to if you want to get a
high row with your hand radio, right,

1598
01:48:19.840 --> 01:48:25.319
like that's that's also that's also fits
into that like not true hand radio,

1599
01:48:25.479 --> 01:48:28.640
right. So that's why I have
a five giga hurts and ten on

1600
01:48:28.760 --> 01:48:32.239
my roof with an Arden pointing to
Mount Wilson. It you know, some

1601
01:48:32.479 --> 01:48:36.960
huge elevation. Yeah, yeah,
it's well it was, but Melt Wilson.

1602
01:48:39.720 --> 01:48:43.600
Guess because that one repeater went down, I lost all connection to like

1603
01:48:43.920 --> 01:48:47.000
everybody, right, So that happens
that, it happens that So that's that's

1604
01:48:47.039 --> 01:48:50.279
still why you need to promote Arden
because you have the supernose, and the

1605
01:48:50.520 --> 01:48:55.279
supernos are not meant to be your
backbone. They meant to help establish the

1606
01:48:55.359 --> 01:48:59.520
network. And once the network stablished, your backbone or their supernose will go

1607
01:48:59.600 --> 01:49:03.760
down. You're all the other are
connector nons would just work and that Frank,

1608
01:49:04.279 --> 01:49:09.560
you're you're spot on, but I
mean that. Okay, so this

1609
01:49:09.800 --> 01:49:12.800
this deserves you know this. This
is a huge point in hid radio.

1610
01:49:13.319 --> 01:49:18.600
Guys. We're an hour starting this. This is beautiful, Frank, It's

1611
01:49:18.640 --> 01:49:21.000
a you know you, Frank,
you know this. Everybody on this chat

1612
01:49:21.119 --> 01:49:25.239
know this. It's a marathon,
not a sprint, right, So there's

1613
01:49:25.279 --> 01:49:29.199
always a way to improve your station, better antenna. I'm gonna get it

1614
01:49:29.279 --> 01:49:31.760
up higher, I'm gonna I'm gonna
have that super node like Frank's mentioned for

1615
01:49:31.880 --> 01:49:35.560
argin. But then I'm gonna have
like a nice omnidirectional thing around me to

1616
01:49:35.640 --> 01:49:41.560
bring everybody into what I'm doing and
propagate them. Those are all plans upon

1617
01:49:41.800 --> 01:49:45.800
plans that you build upon, and
if you're always thinking that way, then

1618
01:49:45.840 --> 01:49:48.479
you've always got something new and interesting
and fun to do in this hobby,

1619
01:49:48.560 --> 01:49:51.560
which is, you know, just
awesome. That's that's what it's all about,

1620
01:49:53.119 --> 01:49:57.199
right, I don't know. This
weekend this became the mentor Frank sect

1621
01:49:57.479 --> 01:50:01.880
section here of the because I keep
telling it's because it's because I keep telling

1622
01:50:01.920 --> 01:50:03.960
Frankie he's to get on All Star
with the rest of us, and he's

1623
01:50:03.960 --> 01:50:06.680
trying to make excuses, kind of
like me with building my d ex commander.

1624
01:50:06.880 --> 01:50:12.560
He's trying to make excuses why I
han't done it yet. I can't.

1625
01:50:12.640 --> 01:50:16.359
I can hold a candle to the
Mulston rans several key subjects. True,

1626
01:50:16.600 --> 01:50:21.520
I just don't. I don't choose
not to stand on the soapbox because

1627
01:50:21.680 --> 01:50:26.680
of yeah, you know, and
and I and I'll say this about already

1628
01:50:26.800 --> 01:50:30.920
drank half of whiskey. That's why
we're here. Right now that we're here.

1629
01:50:31.199 --> 01:50:35.800
I'll say this about the Internet too. People say, what Internet,

1630
01:50:35.920 --> 01:50:42.680
let's do one if the Internet goes
down, let's fill the gambling and that

1631
01:50:42.960 --> 01:50:48.520
starts. That has number all star. That has never happened, because the

1632
01:50:48.640 --> 01:50:54.600
Internet does not go down everywhere.
He goes down in areas. Not yet,

1633
01:50:54.760 --> 01:50:57.760
what goes down in areas? There's
a way. I'm not saying.

1634
01:50:57.840 --> 01:51:00.199
I didn't say it couldn't happen.
That's not what I said. I said

1635
01:51:00.239 --> 01:51:03.359
it has never happened, not until
the day that chat chat GPT becomes correct.

1636
01:51:03.560 --> 01:51:06.520
Yeah, well when Scott when yeah, yeah, when when skynet becomes

1637
01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:10.720
self aware. That's a different story. But yeah, yeah, it's just

1638
01:51:10.840 --> 01:51:13.960
never. It's never, you know, when when when hurricanes and cyclones and

1639
01:51:14.279 --> 01:51:16.680
nine eleven type situations happened. The
Internet goes down in an area, but

1640
01:51:16.760 --> 01:51:20.479
it's not down everywhere, so the
Internet's never gone down. So having an

1641
01:51:20.560 --> 01:51:27.439
Internet assisted Ham Radio, it's not
PODA, it's not HF. HF is

1642
01:51:27.439 --> 01:51:30.399
still the coolest thing, the most
fun. The most fun I've ever had

1643
01:51:30.479 --> 01:51:33.479
in ham radio was going to Costa
Rica and working as the d X station.

1644
01:51:33.880 --> 01:51:39.479
It was awesome. Fifteen years,
all day long, twelve thirteen hours,

1645
01:51:39.520 --> 01:51:42.159
sitting down in a chair, working
fifteen meters all day long. It's

1646
01:51:42.199 --> 01:51:45.720
awesome, and I love that I
do. That's my favorite thing to do

1647
01:51:45.760 --> 01:51:47.680
in him radio. But I don't
want to discount all the stuff you connect

1648
01:51:47.720 --> 01:51:50.640
over the internet. Alls we also
had in Costa Rica. I brought my

1649
01:51:50.720 --> 01:51:55.520
DMR hotspot with me and I was
connected to people at home, so you

1650
01:51:55.600 --> 01:51:58.880
know, talking to them on on
VHF. So it was all good.

1651
01:51:59.000 --> 01:52:01.520
But yeah, I just it's just
my opinion. I mean, you're not

1652
01:52:01.680 --> 01:52:05.279
wrong, you're not wrong. But
also it's like, you know, the

1653
01:52:05.640 --> 01:52:10.640
Ham Radio aspect of is like h
RF that's under a control, right,

1654
01:52:10.720 --> 01:52:12.880
that's the way I look at it, right, Yeah, and at some

1655
01:52:13.039 --> 01:52:15.399
point it turns into something that's kind
of like out of our control. And

1656
01:52:15.520 --> 01:52:18.279
once you once you lose that a
little bit, then it's like okay,

1657
01:52:18.720 --> 01:52:23.239
then it's then it's a color of
gray. Yeah, that's true. It's

1658
01:52:23.279 --> 01:52:27.079
not black and white. It's it's
a grayish color. And then there's nothing

1659
01:52:27.279 --> 01:52:30.000
wrong with that. There's nothing wrong
with that. Just know what it is.

1660
01:52:30.239 --> 01:52:32.239
Just don't like, don't try and
say like this one's better than the

1661
01:52:32.319 --> 01:52:34.840
other. I'm not saying that no
one else should say that. It's just

1662
01:52:35.079 --> 01:52:42.960
that's what it is. Just just
know it going in it's it's another fascinating

1663
01:52:42.960 --> 01:52:45.079
of the hobby that you can explore. Charlie Charlie's Charlie's got it down.

1664
01:52:45.119 --> 01:52:47.840
If Internet goes down, I'll just
use five G on my phone. That's

1665
01:52:47.880 --> 01:52:54.520
it. And all the Hams are
sitting here thinking, I hope the power

1666
01:52:54.640 --> 01:53:00.439
goes out right, Yeah, yeah, I've got I've got sis with a

1667
01:53:00.439 --> 01:53:04.119
battery, I could last for a
week and half the power. Charlie.

1668
01:53:04.239 --> 01:53:08.720
Charlie came by the trailer at him
mentioned and he's like, boy, you

1669
01:53:08.800 --> 01:53:12.079
guys are serious about your battery boxes. Because because because between me and Mike

1670
01:53:12.159 --> 01:53:16.199
we had like six of them there, I saw plugging things. He's like,

1671
01:53:17.039 --> 01:53:21.680
Charlie's my phone's on four percent?
Can I charge it? I'm like,

1672
01:53:21.840 --> 01:53:27.800
take your pick, dude, whatever
you are. This is why I

1673
01:53:27.920 --> 01:53:30.720
want the power to go out right
here. Yeah, yeah, no doubt.

1674
01:53:30.960 --> 01:53:35.880
Wow, that is crazy. Jesus
Christ, that's all. That's what's

1675
01:53:35.920 --> 01:53:40.520
your average noise floy there? Eight? Or is it showing a nine right

1676
01:53:40.560 --> 01:53:44.359
now? No? This is like
ten over Oh Jesus, yeah, oh

1677
01:53:44.479 --> 01:53:49.159
there it is, I see it. Not no, I mean that's with

1678
01:53:49.319 --> 01:53:56.840
the the ref all the way up. But then uh, stay tuned to

1679
01:53:57.039 --> 01:54:01.000
the to the Ham radio two point
zero h happy hour when we're all twenty

1680
01:54:01.079 --> 01:54:05.199
years older and we're living in the
middle of nowhere and all our live streams

1681
01:54:05.399 --> 01:54:10.760
are zero, and like that's great. It was like, this is a

1682
01:54:10.800 --> 01:54:13.439
bit I should have done this so
many years ago. Are you kidding?

1683
01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:15.479
By twenty years from now, there'll
be they'll be gig about ether net in

1684
01:54:15.479 --> 01:54:19.119
the middle of the woods somewhere you
live, and I mean, come on,

1685
01:54:19.439 --> 01:54:24.960
we will be starlink. Yeah we
start well, in fact, I'm

1686
01:54:24.960 --> 01:54:27.920
going to commission a r DC.
We need to put up a Ham radio

1687
01:54:28.079 --> 01:54:32.039
starlink system. Boom, make it
happen. Let's go. Yeah, Channel

1688
01:54:32.239 --> 01:54:35.600
channel minus two. Let's do it
all in the all in the all in

1689
01:54:35.640 --> 01:54:43.920
the sky. Then it's actually not
so many hams would be so mad though,

1690
01:54:45.000 --> 01:54:51.359
why not? Why why why can't
we just get a centric Yes again,

1691
01:54:51.600 --> 01:54:56.720
yes, I always start FREA has
to go to Germany to get access

1692
01:54:56.800 --> 01:55:01.399
to a to a proper satellite we
need. That's true. Yeah, I

1693
01:55:01.560 --> 01:55:05.199
kind of know somebody who was kind
of in the position. Guy to make

1694
01:55:05.279 --> 01:55:08.640
one, guy, I know what. Yeah, guy, I have a

1695
01:55:08.760 --> 01:55:13.880
jersey. I know everybody. Yeah
right right yeah, so um yeah,

1696
01:55:14.079 --> 01:55:16.760
So I don't know. That's it's
a possibility. I don't know when it

1697
01:55:16.760 --> 01:55:21.199
will happen, but it's always possibility. It needs to happen to be good.

1698
01:55:21.680 --> 01:55:26.840
It does. So all right,
guys, let's let's start to wind

1699
01:55:26.920 --> 01:55:29.720
this down. It's we've been going
almost two hours. That's that's a great

1700
01:55:29.760 --> 01:55:32.800
knowledge. Which time. I still
got my radio set up on the porch.

1701
01:55:32.840 --> 01:55:39.119
I'm gonna go play some radio radio
due to Yeah, the cigar I

1702
01:55:39.159 --> 01:55:43.560
had earlier. What what'd you just
have, Mike? So I had a

1703
01:55:43.880 --> 01:55:46.399
It was just a Drewid States factory
smoke. Okay, I'm sorry. It

1704
01:55:46.479 --> 01:55:48.560
was one of the sweet ones.
No, they're they're good, they're they're

1705
01:55:48.600 --> 01:55:53.319
good everyday smoke. But this thing
just so I got a humid art and

1706
01:55:53.319 --> 01:55:58.560
I'm still trying to get it to
like stay at the right humidity. So

1707
01:55:58.640 --> 01:56:01.159
I finally just put all my cigars
in that, but um, it just

1708
01:56:01.359 --> 01:56:08.760
it kept canoeing and it was pain
in the hands. Does cigar wastes still

1709
01:56:08.760 --> 01:56:13.000
exist? Does cigara wastes still exists? Probably it's the little box he put

1710
01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:15.520
I'm trying to keep. Yeah,
so right right now. So like I

1711
01:56:15.640 --> 01:56:19.960
seasoned the woodeny stuff and I did
everything that everybody said, but the humidity

1712
01:56:20.119 --> 01:56:25.439
was just way high. So now
I have zero humidifiers in the in the

1713
01:56:25.520 --> 01:56:29.560
human door, and then I put
all my cigars in it. Uh,

1714
01:56:30.199 --> 01:56:36.680
yesterday, I feel and it's it's
sitting it sixty nine well depending on which

1715
01:56:38.000 --> 01:56:43.800
nice depending on which hygrometer I look
at. But I bought one and I

1716
01:56:43.960 --> 01:56:47.520
and I I calibrated it. So
the one that's calibrated I just looked earlier

1717
01:56:47.600 --> 01:56:51.319
it said like seventy one. So
it's just kind of I don't I think

1718
01:56:51.319 --> 01:56:55.199
I'm gonna return this human or actually
I'm not happy with it, but yeah,

1719
01:56:55.239 --> 01:56:58.119
it's just it's it was I was
not. It was it was a

1720
01:56:58.239 --> 01:57:00.039
sweet cigar, like it was dipped
in something. You know. I don't

1721
01:57:00.039 --> 01:57:01.520
know why, I don't. I
don't have a sweet tooth, but I

1722
01:57:01.600 --> 01:57:04.039
was craving it. So, like
six o'clock today, I went out and

1723
01:57:04.079 --> 01:57:06.960
set up my radio and played some
f Tate and had that and I just

1724
01:57:08.119 --> 01:57:11.239
I kept having to touch it up
and fix the canoe in and stuff.

1725
01:57:11.279 --> 01:57:14.239
So I just it was not an
enjoyable smoke. Plus it was one hundred

1726
01:57:14.239 --> 01:57:17.359
and five degrees on my porch.
Yeah. Literally, that'll draw the human

1727
01:57:18.439 --> 01:57:25.359
Yeah yeah, not in not in
Houston. No, that's true, Not

1728
01:57:25.439 --> 01:57:28.680
in Houston. It's US. I'm
looking at my weather station. It's eighty

1729
01:57:28.760 --> 01:57:31.600
seven and seventy eight percent in humidity
right now. Oh my god. Yeah

1730
01:57:31.720 --> 01:57:34.760
yeah, so that's why you don't
live in Houston. Man. No,

1731
01:57:34.880 --> 01:57:39.760
I love it. I love it. But the AC is actually at seventy

1732
01:57:39.880 --> 01:57:44.479
four right now, but depending on
which So this is the hottest room in

1733
01:57:44.560 --> 01:57:48.199
the house, and my weather station
says eighty two in here, so depending

1734
01:57:48.359 --> 01:57:50.760
so I might move the humid or
around a little bit. I think I'm

1735
01:57:50.760 --> 01:57:55.600
just gonna return it though, But
it's because it was too humid. I

1736
01:57:55.680 --> 01:57:59.359
think, yeah, if they canoe
like that, NY means they're they're yo.

1737
01:57:59.479 --> 01:58:01.359
Does I've I mean, I have
a bunch of the Draw States factory

1738
01:58:01.359 --> 01:58:04.880
smokes. They're great, they're they're
like three bucks, and you know,

1739
01:58:04.960 --> 01:58:08.680
it's just a good every day because
I don't want to smoke at ten fifteen

1740
01:58:08.720 --> 01:58:13.439
dollars cigar every day, you know, right, totally cool, that's all

1741
01:58:13.479 --> 01:58:15.520
right, I'm gonna do well.
Let's um, let's go around the room

1742
01:58:15.560 --> 01:58:18.359
talk about what's coming up on your
channel. So, Josh, you're at

1743
01:58:18.359 --> 01:58:23.600
the top corner. Oh thuh podcasts. I have to record it tonight.

1744
01:58:23.720 --> 01:58:27.279
I took my kid to bring your
kid to work today at Nice, so

1745
01:58:28.119 --> 01:58:30.000
I didn't want to stay up until
two am doing the podcast. So we're

1746
01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:34.560
doing that tonight. Land I'll be
out there recording live stream. Tomorrow is

1747
01:58:34.680 --> 01:58:38.720
going to be the start track again. It's coming back. I have it

1748
01:58:38.840 --> 01:58:45.640
working at I saw your Instagram reel. Yes, spoiler alert. The solution

1749
01:58:45.760 --> 01:58:50.119
is Ham Radio Deluxe. It Hammer
Radio Deluxe works it completely without issue.

1750
01:58:50.560 --> 01:58:55.359
It's gonna be fan It's gonna be
great. It's gonna be fantastic, the

1751
01:58:55.439 --> 01:58:59.960
best, the best Ham Radio tracker
ever. Uh and then of course next

1752
01:59:00.159 --> 01:59:03.119
week. Actually we already talked about
San Clementi. I'm gonna put it out

1753
01:59:03.159 --> 01:59:08.119
a video next week on Common Antenna's
I did a whole now that I have

1754
01:59:08.239 --> 01:59:12.199
the Lightning and with the NMO mount
I'm doing a whole series on m NMO

1755
01:59:12.279 --> 01:59:16.000
mount antennas for mobile users. So
comment is the first brand I'm gonna hit.

1756
01:59:16.000 --> 01:59:19.880
Then I'm gonna hit all the others
we do obviously hit signal stuff,

1757
01:59:19.920 --> 01:59:24.800
signal stock on that list. So
look for that video. And I've got

1758
01:59:24.920 --> 01:59:27.640
like some others that I got to
post too, So hopefully I get that

1759
01:59:27.680 --> 01:59:30.880
all done next week, but who
knows, who knows? Who knows?

1760
01:59:30.920 --> 01:59:38.520
I've got a I've got to follow
up to my s bidex y posting probably

1761
01:59:38.640 --> 01:59:41.119
Monday. So I got the I
got the update to work. Um.

1762
01:59:41.159 --> 01:59:43.720
I emailed a Shar about the problem
we had on the live stream and he

1763
01:59:43.840 --> 01:59:47.840
was very responsive to it, so
very forthcoming with the information. So I

1764
01:59:48.279 --> 01:59:54.640
also have one and a Shar has
been very proactive in responding to my problems.

1765
01:59:54.720 --> 01:59:57.159
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's
all I say about that, But

1766
01:59:57.199 --> 02:00:00.680
there will be a video forthwith on
all my problems were the only problem I

1767
02:00:00.720 --> 02:00:02.880
had was the update. Everything else
has worked fine so far, so but

1768
02:00:02.960 --> 02:00:06.439
I haven't taken out to the field
yet. So it's it's PODA ready if

1769
02:00:06.479 --> 02:00:08.800
you think about it, like,
yeah, it is, you know,

1770
02:00:08.880 --> 02:00:10.760
if you got to set up,
yeah, it should be good. So

1771
02:00:11.520 --> 02:00:14.119
good, good deal, Kyle,
what's coming up for you? Thank you

1772
02:00:14.199 --> 02:00:16.199
Jason, by the way, thank
you for doing Oh yeah, absolutely,

1773
02:00:16.680 --> 02:00:20.880
yeah. So I got a video
dropping on Sunday. I think it's UM

1774
02:00:21.640 --> 02:00:27.720
using fast log entry for PODA entry. So if you do paper logs and

1775
02:00:27.840 --> 02:00:32.880
you want to do PODA, UM
upload into the Podo website through fast log

1776
02:00:33.039 --> 02:00:36.880
entry. Got a video on that. UM. Monday night, I got

1777
02:00:38.000 --> 02:00:42.279
a live stream with UM. I
think his name's Jeremy. His first name

1778
02:00:42.359 --> 02:00:47.319
is Jeremy, but tufflin antennas.
Oh yeah, yeah yeah, two ten

1779
02:00:47.439 --> 02:00:53.199
antennas. Yeah yeah, So we're
gonna I'm gonna talk to Jeremy about some

1780
02:00:53.319 --> 02:00:57.079
of his antennas, and then on
Thursday, I've got a FLEX centric stream.

1781
02:00:57.119 --> 02:01:00.960
We're gonna set up w K flex, which is the cwker, the

1782
02:01:00.039 --> 02:01:04.600
remote cw ker for Flex. There
seems to be a lot of confusion around

1783
02:01:04.920 --> 02:01:10.399
UM remote cw operation, so hopefully
we can get that up and run and

1784
02:01:10.800 --> 02:01:15.840
make some contacts and then um yeah, on the twenty six, which is

1785
02:01:15.920 --> 02:01:20.880
every other Monday night, I got
I host the new CW Operators stream and

1786
02:01:20.920 --> 02:01:25.960
we're gonna talk about field Day.
So that's what I got coming up on

1787
02:01:26.479 --> 02:01:30.239
the channel. So everyone go out. I'm gonna do CW during field Day.

1788
02:01:30.359 --> 02:01:31.479
You can work to me. That's
great. If not, we'll catch

1789
02:01:31.600 --> 02:01:36.680
up sometime else. I should be
on your new a new CW Operators stream

1790
02:01:36.720 --> 02:01:42.520
because there's no one newer at it
than I am. Yes, yes,

1791
02:01:42.680 --> 02:01:46.199
call a spade a spade here.
I've got this really heavy u z N

1792
02:01:46.319 --> 02:01:54.399
nine z x h entree zn key
here. Yeah, that's just itching to

1793
02:01:54.479 --> 02:01:59.000
be used. So yeah, you
know. I also I gave a presentation

1794
02:01:59.359 --> 02:02:08.199
to the Northern California UH Contest Club
about note red and the future of contesting

1795
02:02:08.840 --> 02:02:13.119
and gave my thoughts and opinions.
Sterling and I kind of got together a

1796
02:02:13.199 --> 02:02:15.079
long time ago and kind of did
a If you go to my channel and

1797
02:02:15.760 --> 02:02:24.600
type in contest modernization, you'll see
um Sterling and I rapping about what we

1798
02:02:24.720 --> 02:02:30.920
think the future of contesting looks like. And we sat therefore after the stream

1799
02:02:30.039 --> 02:02:34.079
was over, we sat for another
three hours and talked about the future and

1800
02:02:34.199 --> 02:02:38.680
what it looks like. And there
were some salty hams in that zoom,

1801
02:02:39.479 --> 02:02:44.520
a bunch of curmudgeons that you know, just didn't didn't want to have any

1802
02:02:44.640 --> 02:02:47.960
ideas any It wasn't open to any
of ideas of you know, what the

1803
02:02:48.079 --> 02:02:51.720
future might look like, of what
the youth are thinking. You know,

1804
02:02:51.760 --> 02:02:57.560
whenever I say youth, I'm like
fifty. It's like fifty and under right

1805
02:02:57.840 --> 02:03:01.760
is the people that we don't want
to contest for forty eight hours. We

1806
02:03:01.880 --> 02:03:06.600
want to do contesting and sprints.
Right, Our attention spans are small.

1807
02:03:06.760 --> 02:03:14.239
We we the rules that govern contests
today don't work for us. We want

1808
02:03:14.279 --> 02:03:18.399
new rules, you know, And
I think I'm going to do We're not

1809
02:03:18.439 --> 02:03:20.680
going to get into it. Yeah, okay, okay, we're not doing

1810
02:03:23.199 --> 02:03:27.359
I want to dig it. Let's
go. Well, then watch Kyle's livestream.

1811
02:03:27.520 --> 02:03:30.760
Right, So, I think I'm
going to put together a series of

1812
02:03:30.760 --> 02:03:34.319
live streams with we spun up a
group's io, a few of us,

1813
02:03:34.560 --> 02:03:40.720
and we're going to talk about ideas
on what can contesting be in the future,

1814
02:03:40.920 --> 02:03:47.680
and how can technology help bring people
to contesting and integrate technology because I

1815
02:03:48.000 --> 02:03:53.079
feel like we're just we're stuck in
the dark ages with contesting on. There's

1816
02:03:53.079 --> 02:03:56.119
so many cool things that we could
be doing, but we're not doing it.

1817
02:03:56.800 --> 02:04:00.199
This is all Sterling's plant to,
like we need to live stream a

1818
02:04:00.319 --> 02:04:03.359
contest. Well, yeah, it
goes beyond that, you know, like

1819
02:04:04.159 --> 02:04:09.359
some of the the ideas that we
were discussing on that that zoom. So

1820
02:04:09.520 --> 02:04:16.079
if you if you search for NCCC
and my call sign, it's out on

1821
02:04:16.199 --> 02:04:18.760
YouTube. You're gonna have to go
out and find it. But go to

1822
02:04:18.960 --> 02:04:25.159
like three fourths of the way through
and they they recorded some of it and

1823
02:04:25.520 --> 02:04:29.560
you'll hear some of my thoughts and
whatnot. And then the discussion continued for

1824
02:04:29.640 --> 02:04:32.199
another two hours after that and they
cut the recording off. But go and

1825
02:04:32.319 --> 02:04:38.279
watch that live stream at the end
where we're discussing some of the there's a

1826
02:04:38.359 --> 02:04:41.520
bunch of courmudgeons in there that you
know, we were we were trying to

1827
02:04:41.640 --> 02:04:44.000
like, you know, it's almost
like a jury pool, right, You're

1828
02:04:44.039 --> 02:04:46.920
trying to convince somebody to be like, hey, this is a good idea,

1829
02:04:47.000 --> 02:04:50.960
you should do it. Um.
But I think that we need to

1830
02:04:51.079 --> 02:04:55.520
get the word out and the and
the way that we can do that is

1831
02:04:55.560 --> 02:05:00.560
by literally live streaming, having zooms
and having round tables about let the future

1832
02:05:00.600 --> 02:05:05.239
of contesting look like and what that
can what we can do with technology today,

1833
02:05:05.359 --> 02:05:11.079
and it's it gets to the point
where you can have contests and the

1834
02:05:11.159 --> 02:05:14.439
old curmudgeons can do their own their
thing that they want to do. On

1835
02:05:14.520 --> 02:05:18.000
Secret Worldwide, we'll just make our
own rules and we'll participate on our own

1836
02:05:18.079 --> 02:05:23.119
contests. We'll just use your contacts
and you being on the air in your

1837
02:05:23.159 --> 02:05:28.000
exchanges. But we're just not going
to submit a record or a file to

1838
02:05:28.199 --> 02:05:32.800
your contest. We're gonna submit a
cabrilla file to my own contest that we're

1839
02:05:32.840 --> 02:05:36.920
gonna we're gonna buy. See right, We're gonna overlay our contest on your

1840
02:05:38.000 --> 02:05:42.119
contest. But I don't need you. I need you to participate, but

1841
02:05:42.239 --> 02:05:45.159
I don't need you to submit your
log because I just need your contacts.

1842
02:05:45.520 --> 02:05:48.399
Like for Secret Worldwide, you can
get on the air, I'll make a

1843
02:05:48.520 --> 02:05:55.239
contact, but I'm I'm participating under
my own rules. We just need to

1844
02:05:55.399 --> 02:06:00.119
pool our money together and buy ten
acres of landing like Chile or Honduras and

1845
02:06:00.279 --> 02:06:04.000
put up a big tower with five
thousand watts, yeah, with a flex,

1846
02:06:04.520 --> 02:06:09.359
and we say it as an Italian
station. Yeah, and then we

1847
02:06:09.439 --> 02:06:12.680
just we just remote into that and
key down five thousand walks and call seek

1848
02:06:12.720 --> 02:06:15.920
you to acts and work all the
stations you want, just every day meta

1849
02:06:16.079 --> 02:06:20.600
contesting. Yeah, so they can, they can have their contest, go

1850
02:06:20.640 --> 02:06:24.760
ahead and contest, but I'm going
to make I'm going to contact you like

1851
02:06:24.880 --> 02:06:28.640
I would be playing in your contest. But I'm playing by my own rules.

1852
02:06:30.560 --> 02:06:32.439
So whenever they come and say,
hey, you can't sell spot because

1853
02:06:32.520 --> 02:06:35.399
you're you know, your single operator, screw you. I'm not playing by

1854
02:06:35.439 --> 02:06:39.479
your rules, not playing by us. Yeah, yeah, all right,

1855
02:06:40.359 --> 02:06:44.199
I look forward to to seeing that, Kyle. So we're my my,

1856
02:06:44.520 --> 02:06:45.920
my, my waving flag. We've
been going so long. My waving flag

1857
02:06:46.039 --> 02:06:50.720
changed to a bird eating bird seed. I don't know, literally it's literally

1858
02:06:50.760 --> 02:06:55.760
a bird. Literally. Yeah,
Michael's coming up on your channel. You're

1859
02:06:55.800 --> 02:07:01.119
looking for that. I will be
fair helps when I'm remuted. Yeah.

1860
02:07:02.199 --> 02:07:10.319
Videos good good. I just shot
I shot next week's Monday video today,

1861
02:07:11.479 --> 02:07:17.439
and I've got a ridiculous new HT
antenna to look at. I just got

1862
02:07:17.560 --> 02:07:21.439
I think I just got this yesterday
or the day before this new tid radio

1863
02:07:23.560 --> 02:07:25.720
HT that I've been playing with.
It's actually pretty cool. I like it,

1864
02:07:26.600 --> 02:07:32.439
um smarter things that I can't think
of. Satan will be supervising.

1865
02:07:32.479 --> 02:07:36.399
Of course he's taken an apperate good
good little guys tucked about. He's been

1866
02:07:36.439 --> 02:07:40.800
sleeping all day. Oh yeah,
that sounds like my dogs. Yeah.

1867
02:07:41.000 --> 02:07:43.880
Yeah, they get they get really
worn out of Lane on the bed all

1868
02:07:43.920 --> 02:07:46.399
day. Yeah. And then I
mean obviously with the batteries, I'm as

1869
02:07:46.439 --> 02:07:48.960
soon as I figure out what the
hell I'm gonna do with them, I'm

1870
02:07:48.960 --> 02:07:54.000
gonna, yeah, some kind of
that's gonna be fun. I'm looking forward

1871
02:07:54.039 --> 02:07:59.840
to you and whenever you and right
you told me? Yeah, so yeah

1872
02:08:00.079 --> 02:08:03.800
and side boom. I've been playing
this, but more think Yeah, well

1873
02:08:03.840 --> 02:08:05.399
he'll be there too, Yeah,
well he's he's They're both. I'm thinking

1874
02:08:05.479 --> 02:08:13.279
other Ryan, there's two Ryan sims
Um. But more just like what I'm

1875
02:08:13.319 --> 02:08:20.000
gonna do with these batteries, yeah, ye, to be more useful than

1876
02:08:20.079 --> 02:08:22.039
just a battery sitting in the right
in the corner of my room. Some

1877
02:08:22.119 --> 02:08:26.520
way, some way to make him
semi portable. Yeah, Like I'm well,

1878
02:08:26.520 --> 02:08:28.000
I'm thinking bigger, like what you
know, because they're I mean,

1879
02:08:28.039 --> 02:08:31.159
they're big freaking batteries. So what
can we do other than just for Ham

1880
02:08:31.319 --> 02:08:35.680
radio because I've got this this one
odd gauge wire here now for like high

1881
02:08:35.720 --> 02:08:39.920
capacity stuff, you know, high
current, but um, you know,

1882
02:08:39.039 --> 02:08:43.159
for just ham radio. I gus
look up like twelve gage on. Yeah,

1883
02:08:43.239 --> 02:08:48.560
but you know, so I the
ideas are turning in the head,

1884
02:08:48.640 --> 02:08:50.720
just like what I want to do
with them. So I'll be excited,

1885
02:08:50.960 --> 02:08:54.960
uh to come up like building your
box. You're the mega geek as I

1886
02:08:56.000 --> 02:08:58.039
called it was, yeah, un
building that took us. That took us

1887
02:08:58.039 --> 02:09:01.159
a few months just to find the
box, to put it right correct m

1888
02:09:03.199 --> 02:09:05.279
and then yeah, and now I've
got to and now I've got a bigger

1889
02:09:05.279 --> 02:09:07.199
battery. I need one for Oh
Jesus, well let me. I think

1890
02:09:07.239 --> 02:09:11.079
I have a I think I have
a box. I think what do you

1891
02:09:11.199 --> 02:09:15.800
have? One hundred damp that hundred
damp mini from red Odo. Oh okay,

1892
02:09:15.960 --> 02:09:18.359
it's just a little bit. It's
just a little bit larger than the

1893
02:09:18.439 --> 02:09:22.720
fifty. That's not that much.
Then I bet that it will if it's

1894
02:09:22.760 --> 02:09:26.199
not any taller. It is taller. It's it's it's it's it's not as

1895
02:09:26.319 --> 02:09:31.279
deep and it's about the same length, but it's taller than the fifty.

02:10:48.119 --> 02:10:54.640

that's a major thing. I have a

1914
02:10:54.680 --> 02:10:58.479
few other things. I have one
thing that I'm continuing. Believe it or

1915
02:10:58.560 --> 02:11:01.600
not, people have been asking me
about my radio and a Tesla video as

1916
02:11:01.640 --> 02:11:05.880
well. I have an update coming
up that's probably an interesting subject. Yeah

1917
02:11:07.279 --> 02:11:09.560
yeah, might Josh have all the
fun with evs and radio you know?

1918
02:11:09.720 --> 02:11:13.479
Yeah? Yeah, yet Tesla is
the one that came out and said we're

1919
02:11:13.479 --> 02:11:18.199
not gonna put AM radios in the
cars anymore. Oh yeah. Anyway,

1920
02:11:18.279 --> 02:11:20.039
No, I got something cool coming
up, and um I think people like

1921
02:11:20.159 --> 02:11:24.199
it. But um, that'll have
to wait until after I get back from

1922
02:11:24.239 --> 02:11:26.680
Europe. But yeah, no,
it'll be It'll be great. Um.

1923
02:11:28.199 --> 02:11:31.439
And of course I have the podcasts
and radio show going. We have a

1924
02:11:31.520 --> 02:11:37.000
new time slot on w RMI now
Thursday nights, so um that's when the

1925
02:11:37.119 --> 02:11:41.319
radio show comes on. But I
publish it to my YouTube channel and podcasts.

1926
02:11:41.359 --> 02:11:46.560
So cool, good sounds great.
Thanks for being here. Thank you.

1927
02:11:46.960 --> 02:11:50.039
Yeah, Freddie, what's coming up
for you? Man? Will?

1928
02:11:50.479 --> 02:11:54.720
I got the series of All Star
videos that Frank at least to watch apparently

1929
02:11:56.359 --> 02:12:00.159
coming up the Frank July first.
They're gonna start dropping July first. I've

1930
02:12:00.159 --> 02:12:03.399
already got three of them stage.
But I don't know if you all know

1931
02:12:03.520 --> 02:12:05.079
this or not, but I've been
in law enforcement for like thirty three years

1932
02:12:05.079 --> 02:12:09.680
and I'm retiring in fourteen days and
We're gonna hopefully thank you live stream.

1933
02:12:11.359 --> 02:12:15.159
Well, thank you. I appreciate
that we're hopefully going to live stream my

1934
02:12:15.239 --> 02:12:18.640
last call. They you know,
there's a last call that you can they

1935
02:12:18.760 --> 02:12:24.640
do for retirees, and we make
our last call on the radio at the

1936
02:12:24.720 --> 02:12:28.359
end of our last shift. And
it's kind of a big deal and it's

1937
02:12:28.399 --> 02:12:31.439
something I didn't really plan on doing, but I was informed today by my

1938
02:12:31.600 --> 02:12:35.000
boss that it was going to happen. So with any luck, maybe I'll

1939
02:12:35.000 --> 02:12:37.760
get to live streaming. At the
very least, it will be recorded and

1940
02:12:37.920 --> 02:12:43.000
it'll go out on the Channel two
and we'll get that out there. It's

1941
02:12:43.239 --> 02:12:46.800
it's just something to kind of kick
off the channel more or less, because

1942
02:12:46.239 --> 02:12:48.439
you know, I've been going for
a little while now, just trying to

1943
02:12:48.439 --> 02:12:50.960
get things built up because this is
my side gig. You know, it's

1944
02:12:52.000 --> 02:12:56.000
going to be my retirement supplement.
So but I have a lot, I've

1945
02:12:56.039 --> 02:12:58.640
had a lot of fun with it
now and I just i'll tell you what,

1946
02:12:58.800 --> 02:13:01.920
I find myself more about producing for
the channel than I do at work.

1947
02:13:03.000 --> 02:13:05.399
So Retimer, it's not going to
get her quick enough. I hear

1948
02:13:05.479 --> 02:13:09.800
that. So I got a lot
coming over that good good look forward to

1949
02:13:09.880 --> 02:13:13.359
it. Well, good luck to
you, Thank you cool well, thank

1950
02:13:13.399 --> 02:13:16.119

hours always fun. I love these

1952
02:13:20.359 --> 02:13:24.039
nights that we do this, Um, Kyle and I will have to figure

1953
02:13:24.079 --> 02:13:28.840
out what to do it what night
to have this same setup next month.

1954
02:13:28.680 --> 02:13:31.640
I'm kind of open next month,
so got a got a few, uh

1955
02:13:33.399 --> 02:13:35.920
couple of options to use for next
month. Thanks, thanks things, uh,

1956
02:13:37.159 --> 02:13:39.439
since things are starting to settle down, Jesus a lot of asses.

1957
02:13:41.079 --> 02:13:46.159
Um, I'm toying with the idea
of bringing back my UM Friday night game

1958
02:13:46.279 --> 02:13:50.439
nights. That'd be fun. That's
cool. Maybe run that before. It's

1959
02:13:50.479 --> 02:13:54.520
still on the calendar, so that's
not it's on the calendar, but it's

1960
02:13:54.800 --> 02:13:58.159
not happening right now. Okay.
I didn't know if you're still doing it

1961
02:13:58.319 --> 02:14:00.960
or not. I want to bring
it back, but I need to figure

1962
02:14:00.960 --> 02:14:03.920
out a good way to bring it
back. I was thinking about like nine

1963
02:14:03.960 --> 02:14:07.600
hour Friday. You need to like
a you need a really good game.

1964
02:14:07.720 --> 02:14:11.560
You need a really good game that
will bring people in to be honest like

1965
02:14:11.640 --> 02:14:15.479
that they can do like a like
a reoccurring like like a live D and

1966
02:14:15.560 --> 02:14:20.880
D session. Oh Jesus, D
n D radio. How about how about

1967
02:14:20.880 --> 02:14:24.199

with Mike with Mike, with Mike drinking

1968
02:14:24.319 --> 02:14:28.560
beer, Mike playing, Mike has
to play the bard, Mike has to

1969
02:14:28.640 --> 02:14:35.840

about. I gotta roll a D nine

1970
02:14:35.880 --> 02:14:39.720
