For the d X if you're in the chat right now outside 34 00:02:55.639 --> 00:03:01.039 of the USA. So I always like to do that, but I usually 35 00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:07.080 read some sort of blog post from from this website. I follow that I'm 36 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:12.120 on their email list, either on the fourth or sometimes on Veterans Day, 37 00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.960 sometimes on Memorial Day, this kind of thing. But this came across my 38 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:22.319 email pretty early this morning, and it's something I was like, you know 39 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.439 what, I'm gonna read that today. So that's just how it is. 40 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:27.120 You're on my stream and you got to listen to me, So sorry about 41 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:34.039 that. This is um a bit historical and about the Constitution. I don't 42 00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:36.840 want to get political. IM not going to talk about really politics or anything 43 00:03:36.879 --> 00:03:40.599 current affairs. This is kind of how a little bit of history about a 44 00:03:40.639 --> 00:03:45.719 little a very little bit of history about how the country was founded. So 45 00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:51.039 our cause is noble. It is the cause of mankind, which is a 46 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:53.439 quote from George Washington. Everybody's going to ask for that link here in a 47 00:03:53.479 --> 00:03:58.960 second. So there it is honor, justice, and humanity. Forbid us 48 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:03.199 tamely to sur render that freedom which we receive from our gallant ancestors. They 49 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:10.560 talk so eloquently in the seventeen hundreds which our innocent posterity have a right to 50 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:13.759 receive from us, in other words, our children. We cannot endure the 51 00:04:13.800 --> 00:04:19.120 infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to the wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if 52 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:26.879 we basically entail hereditary bondage upon them, in other words, bondage of repressive 53 00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:31.600 governments. Which read the Declaration of Independence and everything it says about King George, 54 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.519 if you want some reference on that, that was a quote from Thomas 55 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:39.639 Jefferson and the Declaration of the Causes and Necessities of taking up Arms in seventeen 56 00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:43.800 seventy five. We hold this is a quote from the Declaration of Independence itself. 57 00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:46.160 We hold these truths to be self evident. That all men are created 58 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.000 equal. In the parlance of those times, men means mankind. So men 59 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:55.319 and women are created equal. That's read the entirety of the Declaration of Independence. 60 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.399 I believe that to be true. They are endowed by their creator with 61 00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:01.279 certain unalienable human rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit 62 00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.600 of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, 63 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:10.920 deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. In other words, 64 00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:15.480 the government derives its powers from the people. That's the way the declaration of 65 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:18.439 Independence and the Constitution is written. On July third, the day before the 66 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:23.319 continent of Condrasus affirmed our declaration of independence, as noted in my column. 67 00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:27.560 This is the author of this blog post, writing right now Independence Day and 68 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.759 our legacy of liberty. John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail that the fourth 69 00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:35.160 of July ought to be commemorate quote ought to be commemorated as the day of 70 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:41.560 deliverance from solemn acts of devotion of God to God Almighty. He continued, 71 00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:46.920 start quote again. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with 72 00:05:46.079 --> 00:05:51.319 shoes shws. I don't know what that is, games, sports, guns, 73 00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:56.920 bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, 74 00:05:57.199 --> 00:06:03.839 from this time forward and forevermore yet, bonfire, fireworks, guns, 75 00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:11.480 celebration. That is what today is about, about the celebration of the founding 76 00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:15.240 of this country and the declaration of independence of this country. The defensive liberty 77 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:19.639 requires eternal villigence. Shortly after the Patriots Day battles of Electington Concord, fifteen 78 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:24.560 months earlier John Adams second cousin, Samuel Adams. Hey there's a name. 79 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:33.600 Samuel Adams declared, the people alone have an incontestable, unalienable, and defeasible 80 00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:39.360 right to institute government and to reform, alter, or totally change the way 81 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:44.000 the same, totally change the same when their protection, safety, and prosperity 82 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.079 and happiness require it. In other words, they have the right to make 83 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.680 changes to govern themselves, and have the right to make changes to those rules 84 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:55.600 they set for themselves on those who would not rise to defend the arm Adams 85 00:06:55.600 --> 00:07:00.160 wrote, if we love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility or of servitude 86 00:07:00.720 --> 00:07:06.639 than the animating contest of freedom from go from us in peace. May your 87 00:07:06.680 --> 00:07:13.319 chains sit lightly upon you, and may posit posterity. Forget that you were, 88 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:20.399 that ye were our countrymen. That's important right there. On this day 89 00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:24.639 our nation celebrates independence, I invite you to read about the history of Independence 90 00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:29.279 day and the foundational unalienable rights of man. These are linked from this article 91 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:33.439 that I just shared in the chat for a complete context of our nation's founding 92 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:39.120 and the progress toward the fulfillmentive liberty enshrined in our Declaration of Constitution. Read 93 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:43.759 the Patriots Primer on American Liberty. Note that you can purchase it. Purchased 94 00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.680 this book and whatnot. Reflecting on the American Revolution in eighteen eighteen, this 95 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.839 is a good quote here. John Adams observed, but what do we mean 96 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:54.360 by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American War? Question mark? 97 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.040 The revolution was affected before the war commenced. The revolution was in the minds 98 00:07:59.040 --> 00:08:03.240 and hearts of people, a change in their religious sentiments, of their duties 99 00:08:03.240 --> 00:08:07.360 and obligations. This radical change in principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections 100 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:13.040 of the people was the real American revolutions. So, in other words, 101 00:08:13.040 --> 00:08:20.000 the human need for liberty and freedom, the American need for liberty and freedom, 102 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:22.920 and thus it has remained in the hearts, in the minds and hearts 103 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.680 of American patriots to this day. I probably end with this right here. 104 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.360 As President Ronald Reagan warned, freedom is never more than one generation away from 105 00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:37.600 extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It 106 00:08:37.720 --> 00:08:41.159 must be fought for, protected, and handed down for them to do the 107 00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:45.720 same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and 108 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:48.320 our children's student what it once was like in the United States where men were 109 00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.120 free. To that end, we remain vigilant, strong, prepared, and 110 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:58.799 faithful. So Happy Independence Day and never forget where this country came from. 111 00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:05.840 That is that is the thing. So all right, let's um, let's 112 00:09:05.879 --> 00:09:11.480 start having some more fun here and get get these guys on here.

But got I got Bravo, Echo, 171 00:12:56.919 --> 00:13:03.919 Foxtrot, Juliet and Mike. You're almost half the Yeah, yeah, I 172 00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:09.120 got two stations this morning. I'm doing that at Poda. Yeah. What 173 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.320 I was just before I started going live, I was just bumbling around the 174 00:13:13.399 --> 00:13:16.919 bands like you do, and I stumbled across them. I was like, 175 00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:24.399 oh, good. Yeah, well, um, let's see where did it 176 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:26.919 go? There? It is right there. So this is the thirteen Colonies 177 00:13:26.960 --> 00:13:30.600 event. This is a seven day event for those who don't know. This 178 00:13:30.639 --> 00:13:35.240 is a seven day special event July first to the seventh every year. And 179 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:41.120 there's K two Alpha through K two Mike, and then there's three bonus stations 180 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:46.679 and if you get all thirteen of the of the original thirteen colonies, you 181 00:13:46.720 --> 00:13:52.120 can submit for a like a certificate that hangs on your wall, which is 182 00:13:52.159 --> 00:13:58.559 pretty cool. So but Kyle, I know last year, Kyle, you 183 00:13:58.559 --> 00:14:01.039 did a clean so they call it a clean sweep if you get everything. 184 00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.679 You did a clean sweep last year on three different modes. If I'm not 185 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:09.200 mistaken, I did. Yeah, I went all out and just like I'm 186 00:14:09.240 --> 00:14:13.360 gonna I'm gonna get a clean sweep on CW, single sideband and digital and 187 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.279 like the last day, I think I got the France station on FT eight 188 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:22.639 or something and that was my one station that was I couldn't get and I 189 00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.440 saw them. No, actually it was on CW. I'm sorry, it 190 00:14:24.480 --> 00:14:28.600 was on CW. So I had him. I had him spotted on the 191 00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:33.600 our Hamm alert on the reverse beacon network, and like last day, four 192 00:14:33.639 --> 00:14:37.440 hours before the contest was supposed to be are the event was supposed to end, 193 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:41.759 got them. So it must be nice to have a superstation. Well, 194 00:14:41.120 --> 00:14:45.759 it's nice to have a superstation when you have power to the superstation. 195 00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:48.080 Well yeah, yeah, when you say superstation, it's not just a really 196 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:54.000 tall antenna, but power is usually assumed. You need power to run radios, 197 00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:58.200 to run remote stations, to power the towers to get the signal out. 198 00:14:58.759 --> 00:15:01.240 Definitely, very true, very true. As we talked, we talked 199 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:05.559 bad about Steve long enough, he'll finally join. So what's up Man? 200 00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:13.360 Oh well, oh no, well you got the poor poor cell signal, 201 00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:20.679 but you're in there. Thanks for joining. Man uh forty five says he 202 00:15:20.919 --> 00:15:24.919 only has five, but he managed to get TM thirteen col. I don't 203 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.080 think that. Uh. I don't think I've ever worked. I think the 204 00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:33.080 only special event or I'm sorry, the only bonus station I've worked and all 205 00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.840 the years I've done this was, Um, what are they? What are 206 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:43.000 the three special events or three bonus stations? Uh? You made four thirteen 207 00:15:43.000 --> 00:15:50.360 colonies? Yeah? Uh WM WM three pen yeah, GB thirteen col and 208 00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.720 TM thirteen. I don't think I've ever worked in those two overseas ones. 209 00:15:52.720 --> 00:15:56.440 I've done wm M three PEN a few times, but I don't think i've 210 00:15:56.440 --> 00:16:02.799 ever worked h the France, the English and the stations now so groups. 211 00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:11.639 So I just realized I'm calling KM five tr Well, if if Noel created 212 00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:15.639 an account, then upload that stuff. But I'm just going to change my 213 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.240 CALLI give the club to give the clubs some credit because you'll get credit for 214 00:16:18.279 --> 00:16:22.080 it too. True, it's it's kind of to be, Frank, a 215 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:30.279 pain in the butt to um to do that, because you got it. 216 00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:34.519 I just got an alert saying CAN five trs on twenty fifty eight. It's 217 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:38.200 my bad, my bad. No, No, you're good man, Frank, 218 00:16:38.279 --> 00:16:44.399 summit the log. I'll upload it, I'll do it, I'll get 219 00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:48.360 it done. I know how to do things. I'm like one of the 220 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:55.279 two. So submitting a podolog has to be one of the easiest tasks to 221 00:16:55.440 --> 00:17:00.159 do in amateur radio nowadays. Yes, it's it's easier than setting up your 222 00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:07.000 radio for FTA. Can you not, Well, there's only one there, 223 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:12.400 um, the club, the officer of the the trustee of the call sign 224 00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:17.079 has to submit. Is that correct? Okay, that's great. Yeah, 225 00:17:17.079 --> 00:17:22.960 ok yeah, okay, So doesn't that seem annoying for large clubs with um 226 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:30.880 the the Wee four Adventures Ueah, because they when you sign up for that 227 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.799 that role, you gotta assume that responsibility. That's right, that's right. 228 00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.519 Yeah. What's his name is? It? Is it Kentucky Fried Chris or 229 00:17:38.559 --> 00:17:41.640 whatever his name isn't discord? I think he's something like that. He's the 230 00:17:41.680 --> 00:17:45.799 guy. Hum. Yeah, it's it's like whenever you you sign up to 231 00:17:45.839 --> 00:17:48.720 be a secretary or treasurer for a club and you're just like, I don't 232 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.599 want to do anything with numbers, and you're just like, wait a minute, 233 00:17:52.599 --> 00:18:00.079 that's your job. Yeah, hold on, Carlos Is send me a 234 00:18:00.160 --> 00:18:06.759 message. Get him up, says, get him get get him live being 235 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.079 jumped to our shooting himself out of a plane, right, he says, 236 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:15.440 uh, he just he just replied to me. Um, and he says, 237 00:18:15.480 --> 00:18:18.920 if you're going along, I'm hoping to do a radio jump in about 238 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:25.640 an hour, so presumably that means around like one pm, uh Texas time, 239 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:30.240 which would be eighteen hundred UTC. So we'll see, we'll yeah, 240 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:33.079 and we'll probably go till then. But I just invited I was like, 241 00:18:33.079 --> 00:18:37.960 hey, joined the zoom and announce it. If you like he should, 242 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.160 he should stream it live him jumping out of a plane. Actually somebody launching 243 00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:44.359 him out of a plane. How about that? Yeah? I better yet, 244 00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.200 put him in like a Roman candle tube and shoot him out of a 245 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:55.359 plane. Oh yes, do that with some fireworks, Meerica, So yeah, 246 00:18:55.599 --> 00:19:03.960 absolutely do that. Can you imagine Carlos being shot out of a cannible 247 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:07.680 any jackass? And yeah, and he's wearing and he needs to wear like 248 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.519 the um the Uncle Sam outfit like Apolo creed Ward in the Rocky movies. 249 00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:22.200 Like this for a fundraiser. You have a raffle, have a raffle, 250 00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:25.480 and whoever who are wins gets to kick him out of the plane. That's 251 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:30.559 awesome. That's what we said. Uh, I am committing my full tank 252 00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:36.119 radio funds behind the idea. I have all of three dollars. Yeah. 253 00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.920 Okay, So if Carlos comes on, we have we have a challenge for 254 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:42.920 him for next year fourth of July. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's 255 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:45.920 yeah, that's uh yeah, we got a whole year to plan that. 256 00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:52.119 I guess that'd be good, that'd be nice. It was. It was 257 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:56.160 Okay, I just yeah, a lot of a lot of talk in the 258 00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:00.720 chat about thirteen Colonies. Yeah, so I would like I did not get 259 00:20:00.279 --> 00:20:03.680 a clean sweep last year. I missed it by like two. I think 260 00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:07.279 I would love to get a clean sweep again. I got a clean squeep 261 00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:11.440 a couple of years ago. But me being me, and I'd never see. 262 00:20:11.480 --> 00:20:15.759 You have to get a clean sweep to get the certificate, I believe. 263 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:19.400 So I think you can do individual QSL cards to all the individual stations 264 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.640 and they'll send you a QSL card for that special event station individually. I 265 00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:27.599 believe. I believe that's true if I'm not mistaken. Okay, all right, 266 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:32.599 so, but yeah, to get the actual thirteen Colonies special Event certificate, 267 00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:33.640 which is like an eight and a half by eleven sheet of paper, 268 00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.279 like you know, like when you submit to a log Book of the World 269 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.720 for worked All States or whatever other awards you get, they come in that 270 00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:45.680 size so you can hang it on your wall in that way. But yeah, 271 00:20:45.720 --> 00:20:48.240 you can. You can get individual QSL cards for all the stations, 272 00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:52.440 but to get everything, you have to get the thirteen Colonies. You don't 273 00:20:52.440 --> 00:20:56.440 have to get the three bonus stations. But most people try to do that 274 00:20:56.559 --> 00:21:02.440 also, So I would just like to get the thirteen the thirteen colonies myself. 275 00:21:02.519 --> 00:21:07.640 But I think the I think the bone are the three outside of the 276 00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:11.640 United States. I think that their bonus station, so correct. I think 277 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:15.559 that you can get it two or is it two or three because whiskey mic 278 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:19.480 three pen is inside of the United States. Yeah, that's true, that's 279 00:21:19.519 --> 00:21:22.839 true. I don't know. So, hey, truth, I haven't looked 280 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:30.119 in the rules in a while. Let's take it a look, um clean 281 00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:37.680 sweep. Oh who cares? Yeah, I've already lost interest, are you? 282 00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:44.279 Are you particularly last year and it was just just thirteen and the W 283 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:49.559 three pen so they gave me the ship. Get off of that, right. 284 00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:52.640 I thought you just needed that. I thought you just needed the thirteen 285 00:21:52.640 --> 00:21:56.079 and not any of the bonus station. Now Blake in the chat is saying 286 00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:59.480 the according in thirteen Colonies website, you do not have to get all thirteen 287 00:21:59.480 --> 00:22:04.599 to get a certificate. So yeah, I don't, I don't. I 288 00:22:04.680 --> 00:22:10.759 wonder if the certificate differs then, but hey, we're all about participation of 289 00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:17.200 participation trophies apparently, so yeah, yeah, yeah, that's the thing. 290 00:22:17.359 --> 00:22:21.440 But it's a fun event. It's a it's a really fun event. Um. 291 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:26.119 I wish that I had a better antenna set up so I could I 292 00:22:26.119 --> 00:22:27.160 wish I had my hex beam set up so that I could point. In 293 00:22:27.200 --> 00:22:33.119 fact, I was gonna say I was gonna set up the buddy hecks this 294 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:36.920 week, and it was so easy to get these five. I'm on my 295 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.240 on my dipole just now. I'm just like, maybe I'll just keep going 296 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:44.920 with this. I don't know, um, but we'll see. Yeah. 297 00:22:45.039 --> 00:22:48.759 On the certificate page, it says how to get your certificate, and it 298 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:53.119 basically, you know, outlines how to how to grab the certificate. But 299 00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:59.519 it doesn't say anything about the qualifications for a certificate, doesn't say anything about 300 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:03.119 it. Maybe you just need to participate in the event. Maybe it is 301 00:23:03.119 --> 00:23:07.079 a participation thing, but hey, we've all gone light. It's if you 302 00:23:07.119 --> 00:23:12.200 show up, you get a participation trophy. You win, right, all 303 00:23:12.240 --> 00:23:18.039 right? Yeah, so you know what the most important thing is to take 304 00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:23.400 when you're on a long activation. What's that? Water? Much? Oh? 305 00:23:23.519 --> 00:23:32.400 Much? Yeah? Much? Yeah? Uh okay, all right, 306 00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:36.400 so yeah, James, James confirms what you said for Kyle. You don't 307 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.160 have to get a clean sweep but yeah, but I wonder if I wonder 308 00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:44.640 if there's is there a different certificate for clean sweep? There certainly should be, 309 00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:48.079 I agree, I mean, where's the merit in actually trying? And 310 00:23:48.640 --> 00:23:52.440 you know correct, it's like, oh I turned on the radio and listen 311 00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:56.759 to a bunch of static. I get a certificate, right, right? 312 00:23:56.079 --> 00:24:02.400 Yeah? Correct? Correct? Rewarded. What's up, Mike? What's going 313 00:24:02.480 --> 00:24:07.799 on? Many knew Year? Happy four Happy, Happy Freedom Day. I 314 00:24:07.839 --> 00:24:12.119 can't believe it. Yeah, Happy Independence Day. We're halfway. We're halfway 315 00:24:12.119 --> 00:24:18.599 down with the year already, no doubt. Yeah, don't say this. 316 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:25.079 It's like it's like five to six weeks until Huntsville. Yeah, yeah, 317 00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:29.079 yeah, yeah, it's like just over a month until Huntsville. So that's 318 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:33.880 gonna be fun. That's gonna be fun. But yeah, by the way, 319 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:37.039 Frank, I haven't told you this yet, but since you kind of 320 00:24:37.079 --> 00:24:41.400 like, uh, didn't tell me your plans until last minute for Dayton, 321 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:48.079 Uh, I gave away your seat to Huntsville this year, so what Yeah, 322 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.079 what do you mean gave away my seat to Huntsville. I gave away 323 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.960 your seat to Huntsville in the truck so you can ride home with us. 324 00:24:53.960 --> 00:25:00.200 If you want my wife. Oh boy, I can't say anything that. 325 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:04.000 Yeah, no you can't. I know, No, you can't anything. 326 00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:08.279 So now, Frank, how are you gonna get to hunts so well, 327 00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.279 last time he flew Last time, he rode out there with this in fluent. 328 00:25:11.400 --> 00:25:14.960 So if you just do the if you just do, you're fine. 329 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:19.440 Frank. Oh I lost audio. Oh you lost your seat too. Yeah, 330 00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:25.680 there we go, there we go. Um yeah, yeah, I 331 00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.079 will concede my seat to her. Now, last year you, if I 332 00:25:30.119 --> 00:25:32.839 remember correctly, Frank, last year you rode out with us and flew home. 333 00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:34.039 So if you just do the opposite of that this year, you should 334 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:41.519 be good. On the way back, she f she's flying home on Saturday. 335 00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:48.519 Huh, gotcha. Now it's go back. Do anything. We're not 336 00:25:48.559 --> 00:25:52.160 gonna podo. No, this is Huntsville. We will do the trip in 337 00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.240 one day to get there. We're gonna leave early in the morning, which 338 00:25:56.279 --> 00:25:59.839 is what we did last year. We'll leave early in the morning and we'll 339 00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.160 and it's about a ten hour drive with no with without pulling a trailer. 340 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:07.759 So you know, it's probably eleven twelve hours total with stops, pulling trailer. 341 00:26:07.799 --> 00:26:11.079 Blah blah, blah, definitely, so you always say that, but 342 00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.599 always right, No you're not. You weren't right last time. But uh, 343 00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:21.359 okay, but um, it is I mean it is long, it's 344 00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:25.200 it's actually I think it's like ten and a half hours with no stops according 345 00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.680 to Google Maps, so I usually add one to two hours something like that. 346 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:41.079 But um, but I have the campsite reserved Wednesday night through I don't 347 00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:42.960 remember if I reserved it Sunday. I think I did. I think I 348 00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.519 reserved it through Sunday night so that we didn't have to check out at ten 349 00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:52.759 am Sunday morning. Yeah, we will probably, yeah, we will. 350 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.920 Probably we'll go. We'll drive out during one day. We'll be there Wednesday 351 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:03.000 evening night sometime, and then we will probably leave Sunday afternoon something like that 352 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.880 and drive about halfway back and stay somewhere Sunday night. Which, yeah, 353 00:27:07.160 --> 00:27:11.799 we don't have to wait this year. This year. I'm sorry. Last 354 00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.759 year we had to wait because I dropped the trailer off at that place I 355 00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:17.920 bought it in Huntsville on Monday morning.

It happens somebody in 411 00:31:17.240 --> 00:31:18.839 the chat said your time was off by like two seconds. You might need 412 00:31:18.880 --> 00:31:23.480 to sink your time. I love the random frank comments just out out in 413 00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:30.000 the blood will and the in the column that says DT and in the left 414 00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:34.519 window. Yeah, that's that's your Like, I just say it means drift 415 00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:37.039 time. I have no idea what it actually means. But you want that 416 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:45.440 to be as close as zero as possible. And do you have time synchronization 417 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.559 program? I just run that. Yeah, that's what I do. Run 418 00:31:48.599 --> 00:31:51.359 that app in the background. Yeah, I just right click the time and 419 00:31:51.440 --> 00:31:53.759 hit sinc time. It works if you're connected to the end. Yeah, 420 00:31:55.400 --> 00:31:59.720 dude, this guy go away. I'm sorry, I'm not hearing you. 421 00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:06.640 You're a hearing me. M that happens grabbing me mhm, Greg, I've 422 00:32:06.680 --> 00:32:09.720 never understood you didn't want to be grabbed. Well, you know it'll be 423 00:32:10.039 --> 00:32:15.160 more. Actually i've seen in a while good it's good good points. Yeah, 424 00:32:15.279 --> 00:32:19.119 you know, he's saying, Joe Brett, are you able to join 425 00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:22.720 us in the zoom buddy? So let me pull up Joe Brett's channel. 426 00:32:22.799 --> 00:32:28.359 Joe Brett was in the chat earlier today, and he is those of you 427 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:30.480 who care about such things, which which you should if you want to support 428 00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:39.759 your local YouTubers. Um, let's see, he was about seven or eight 429 00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:47.640 hundred watch hours, which you need four thousand watch hours and thousand subscribers to 430 00:32:47.720 --> 00:32:52.440 become monetized on YouTube. Four thousand watch hours in the last three hundred and 431 00:32:52.480 --> 00:32:57.039 sixty five days, yes, and he's it like three nine nine so probably 432 00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:02.680 actually like like eighty watch hours. Actually they lowered it now, YouTube just 433 00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:08.559 lowered the standards for getting monetized. Oh really on regular videos or on shorts. 434 00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:13.799 Because the shorts on regular videos I believe it's five hundred now and like 435 00:33:13.880 --> 00:33:17.119 two thousand watch hours or something about it a couple of days ago. I 436 00:33:17.160 --> 00:33:22.240 think that's just shorts. I think yeah, because Joe Brett was he showed 437 00:33:22.400 --> 00:33:24.839 showed us a screenshot this morning that he was still not monetized. But you 438 00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:30.119 know what else would help with that? If Joe Brett actually put out videos. 439 00:33:30.559 --> 00:33:32.519 Yeah, I mean I wasn't gonna go there, but yes, yeah, 440 00:33:32.599 --> 00:33:37.000 yeah, it always helps to actually make videos when you're on YouTube. 441 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:39.720 Yeah, nine hours, he says, he has nine hours left to go, 442 00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.960 So leave. I will leave my laptop running on a playlist of Joe 443 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:50.240 Brett, yeah channel stuff. So yeah, you'll go help out, help 444 00:33:50.240 --> 00:33:53.000 out Joe Brett, because he's when he actually posts a video, they're they're 445 00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:57.680 they're pretty darn good, I think, so I'll come. He's got excellent 446 00:33:57.720 --> 00:34:02.440 audio and their medio with things hear we hear the rain in the background. 447 00:34:02.440 --> 00:34:07.279 Oh wait a minute, that's club Yeah yeah yeah, yeah, I mean 448 00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:08.760 he he does. I mean you have to give him credit. He does 449 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:14.760 put out some videos more than others. So he's not he's not in every 450 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:17.760 weeker. But all right, he's got a he's got a playlist called past 451 00:34:17.920 --> 00:34:22.599 live streams. I'm just gonna let that go. Yeah, just let that 452 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:29.920 go. Yeah, we are all right, gang. I My clock is 453 00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:31.519 ticking, so I'm gonna get my stuff ready. I might hop back in 454 00:34:31.639 --> 00:34:35.239 before I leave, but in the meantime, if I don't see you guys 455 00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:39.239 until later seven three, I hope everybody has a great Independence Day and anybody 456 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:43.079 catch you guys on the air out there. Man, all right, all 457 00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.440 right, Bud, yeah, thanks, thanks, Carlos ye fourteen two five 458 00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:49.599 nine. We'll be listening. That's right, yep. Make sure that parachute 459 00:34:49.639 --> 00:34:54.039 opens. Yeah, yeah. Packing is way more important than being on this 460 00:34:54.159 --> 00:35:00.440 stream, right right, yeah, all right. What I don't understand is 461 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:04.440 how you can pack a parachute and it opens perfectly every single time. But 462 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:10.559 whenever I pack, just string into my throw weight and out everywhere, Like 463 00:35:10.679 --> 00:35:15.280 I cannot pack that crap to save my life without a huge time. I 464 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:22.760 can tell you how to do that. The weaver, yeah, red bag, 465 00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.840 Yeah, I do I do, all right. I mean I do 466 00:35:24.880 --> 00:35:29.239 it in a figure eight and I pack it down in there, and yeah, 467 00:35:29.320 --> 00:35:31.239 I do it. I do it the way it's supposed to be. 468 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:37.960 Donne my come on, I think Mike's got a video on that. Yeah, 469 00:35:37.639 --> 00:35:38.519 uh, it's in one of my view. I don't know if I 470 00:35:38.559 --> 00:35:42.000 made a video specifically on it. I probably did. Yeah, well, 471 00:35:43.800 --> 00:35:47.559 you made a video about winding coacts. I don't know if that's how young. 472 00:35:49.159 --> 00:35:52.559 No. For the for the the arborous throw line, you just kind 473 00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:55.320 of do like the hang loose kind of thing. You wrap a figure eight 474 00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:59.280 and you just cram it. And I learned it from Thomas Witherspoon. That's 475 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:01.800 where the credit goes. There's two thoughts on that. The first thought is, 476 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:06.280 is your your figure eight mic that you wrap around and then you stick 477 00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:07.519 that in, and then you do another figure eight and stick that in. 478 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:13.639 The second one is you just push it in to the throwbag and let it 479 00:36:13.679 --> 00:36:17.599 just form even or you know, naturally into the throwbag. That's how knots 480 00:36:17.639 --> 00:36:22.559 form. Well, yeah, that's it. That's how I learned that off 481 00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:28.519 an arborist website. So I don't know. I have never had a tangle 482 00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:30.239 with the figure eight in my arborist throw line. I just use it the 483 00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:34.760 other day, in fact, to put up at home. Never never, 484 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:42.800 nope, figure eight every time. What's up? Joe Brett also fellows how 485 00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:46.079 how how stuff? In Mississippi it's a little warm, probably not as warm 486 00:36:46.159 --> 00:36:51.239 as it is in Texas. But actually I think that the I think the 487 00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:52.760 high here is only supposed to be like ninety four today. Yeah, it's 488 00:36:52.800 --> 00:36:57.039 not hot today, and so I'm looking at my my thermometer. It's only 489 00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:04.159 eighty eight and it's sixty nine percent humidity. Yeah, yeah, what is 490 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.920 it? Scott? I was Oh that was Steve? Sorry? Yeah, 491 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:14.719 yeah, what'd you say again? Ninety seven with one hundred percent humidity like 492 00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:17.639 one ten in North Carolina? How could it be a hundred percent humidity? 493 00:37:17.639 --> 00:37:20.280 It's not. I don't see it raining there.

It just makes the other side 501 00:37:47.840 --> 00:37:52.920 dirtier. So I just have to shift it around playing tetris. M h. 502 00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:57.559 Well, it's take a take a side now that you've got some light 503 00:37:57.599 --> 00:38:00.760 on. Is that an air condisher in the back?

All right, So you got an 506 00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:13.760 air condisher and then you got a bunch of yellow pages in the back there, 507 00:38:14.039 --> 00:38:19.840 and then then you gotta what's what's the deal with the yellow pages? 508 00:38:19.880 --> 00:38:23.519 That's a stack of tid radios, buddy, that's probably true, it is. 509 00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:29.400 Yeah, yeah, all right, FRS and g m r S boxes 510 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:34.000 like thirty dollars worth of radios in there.

I just didn't want to stack them anywhere. 512 00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:42.480 You gotta let going on there. Yeah, good for you. Yes, 513 00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:47.239 yes, it's always a project, all right, always a project. 514 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:52.320 Good, thanks for joining man. Did you get the house cleaned? Yeah, 515 00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:53.639 yeah, we got to. And then I thought I was gonna come 516 00:38:53.639 --> 00:38:55.360 out here to shack them, like all right, they got that done. 517 00:38:55.400 --> 00:38:59.079 And then she's like, let's take the dog to the trail and then play 518 00:38:59.079 --> 00:39:02.760 in the creek, and I'm like, okay, let's go. I told 519 00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:07.320 I told my wife what I had types to you in the in the discord. 520 00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:12.519 She thought that was funny. I had to tell her the backstory behind 521 00:39:12.559 --> 00:39:15.159 that because she was there at Huntsville last year, but not two years ago. 522 00:39:15.239 --> 00:39:17.840 So yeah, it was funny. I don't even think she Shirley likes 523 00:39:17.840 --> 00:39:23.440 the peanut butter whiskey. I don't think she likes to start with oh, 524 00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:25.599 well, I'll put us that way. She sure didn't like it two years 525 00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:30.400 ago. Yeah. I think the only thing worse than that peanut butter whiskey 526 00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:35.719 is that that that mango gelapano whiskey that Frank Scott. Oh yeah, everboter 527 00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:38.000 whiskey is good, I got it. It's too good. Yeah, it's 528 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:42.239 gross. It's uh, it was bad news. Two years ago. It 529 00:39:42.360 --> 00:39:45.719 was you've destroyed your taste buds by drinking too many IPAs with that hoppy stuff. 530 00:39:46.400 --> 00:39:50.800 I actually, I actually have a pretty pretty well developed as palette, 531 00:39:50.840 --> 00:39:54.039 thank you, so do I actually, but everybody's palette is different though, 532 00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:58.840 there's no right or wrong. It's too sweet, it's gross. I'm gonna 533 00:39:58.880 --> 00:40:02.199 agree with Jason on the uh that that stuff. That that stuff that that 534 00:40:02.239 --> 00:40:07.280 one guy gave us last year, Mike, which was like a what was 535 00:40:07.320 --> 00:40:09.320 that flavored whiskey we got last year? That was too sweet? That almost 536 00:40:09.360 --> 00:40:13.800 tastes like yeah, yeah it was, I can't remember. I can't remember 537 00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:16.320 what that was either, but thank Evan, thank you for the super chat. 538 00:40:16.320 --> 00:40:21.519 Buddy. Joe Brett puts out more videos than Mulson. Hey to shape. 539 00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.119 True, it's a great it's a great, um great statement there, 540 00:40:24.440 --> 00:40:29.840 pined that to the top of the chat. What one is one is above 541 00:40:30.000 --> 00:40:37.960 zero? Right, Yeah, that's true. It's all good. So Kyler, 542 00:40:37.039 --> 00:40:40.039 you do are you doing thirteen colonies this year? Well, I don't 543 00:40:40.039 --> 00:40:44.840 have any damn radios to turn on. Come on, what happened to your 544 00:40:44.920 --> 00:40:47.400 radio? What happened to your flax? Well, it's the powers out at 545 00:40:47.440 --> 00:40:52.519 the contest station, because oh, that's why you make it out. So 546 00:40:52.559 --> 00:40:58.239 the actual, the actual physical ac powers out. Yeah, good old tree 547 00:40:58.360 --> 00:41:01.440 fell on the side of the house and that we've got all of our radios 548 00:41:01.480 --> 00:41:06.519 hid and took all the power out, and the radios weren't damaged though, 549 00:41:06.639 --> 00:41:09.519 well we don't know. I mean the and the towers are still standing, 550 00:41:09.760 --> 00:41:15.280 and the towers still have antennas pointing in the right direction. So once with 551 00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:17.400 the power comes back on, we'll check out all the radios and antennas. 552 00:41:17.559 --> 00:41:24.239 The towers are still standing. The bad part, we just got word today 553 00:41:24.280 --> 00:41:29.719 that somebody was down there and the Neutral pulled out of the house, So 554 00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:35.320 that's gonna be a bigger issue. Getting that put back in the power to 555 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:37.480 the transformers one thing, but then the Neutral pulled out of the house. 556 00:41:37.519 --> 00:41:40.079 So I don't know what's going to go on if I can get on the 557 00:41:42.159 --> 00:41:45.519 A big there's a huge contest this weekend that we're not sure if we're gonna 558 00:41:45.519 --> 00:41:49.719 be get on the air. It's I A r U and that is a 559 00:41:49.760 --> 00:41:54.039 big, huge contest. M So SideBander CW what it's all modes? Well, 560 00:41:54.039 --> 00:41:57.880 it's single. Uh yeah, it's digital too. Yeah. I thought 561 00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.639 that they thought that I RU was like did a mode for this weekend and 562 00:42:00.920 --> 00:42:07.119 now it's all modes. So I don't know. We're gonna see. We'll 563 00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:09.559 see. But I'm gonna go out and do a Poda later today. I'm 564 00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:15.599 gonna drive over to There's It's it's Poda and beer. Today we got a 565 00:42:15.719 --> 00:42:22.039 we got a bar called fast Eddies over and all and drink and then Poda. 566 00:42:23.519 --> 00:42:28.639 What a great name.

M nice. Not like getting sauced 571 00:42:47.199 --> 00:42:51.880 up and then getting on the air. Oh yeah, it just gave me 572 00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:55.800 an idea. Yeah yeah, I mean, you know, once you've done 573 00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.199 it on YouTube, getting on the air, it doesn't seem quite as you 574 00:42:59.199 --> 00:43:06.840 know, uh, detrimental to the future of your right right. I'm actually 575 00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.079 sorry nobody has started up Bourbon and Ham radios. Well hang on it, 576 00:43:09.119 --> 00:43:15.039 because I've posted this on Twitter, Like when when my friend Ryan and I 577 00:43:15.079 --> 00:43:19.760 go do podas, were always drinking one percent of the time on Sinco de 578 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:22.000 Mayo. We went out and we're like, he stopped drinking beer for a 579 00:43:22.000 --> 00:43:25.760 while. Um, so we're like, well, it's Sinco to mile, 580 00:43:25.840 --> 00:43:29.840 let's drink some margaritas. And I'm like, wait a minute, those are 581 00:43:30.000 --> 00:43:35.159 poda ritas. Yea. So here's the secret. You get like a like 582 00:43:35.199 --> 00:43:37.039 a tumbling like something like this, some kind of water bottle. Right, 583 00:43:38.599 --> 00:43:43.360 you don't bring a cup because the rangers come by they see that. So 584 00:43:43.400 --> 00:43:46.880 we we had like three of these we had like um tequila, triple second, 585 00:43:46.920 --> 00:43:51.920 sweet and sour all separate, so we just mixed them there and then 586 00:43:51.920 --> 00:43:52.800 you pour it in a water bottle. So it's I mean, it's it's 587 00:43:52.800 --> 00:43:58.039 one hundred and five degrees out. Nobody's gonna suspect you of drinking a Poda 588 00:43:58.119 --> 00:44:01.719 rita out of a water bottle. So true my pro tip of the day. 589 00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.719 But they will now stream. But yeah, you're you're at thirteen steps. 590 00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:15.719 Follow this channel for more activation activating Poda advice. See and I need 591 00:44:15.719 --> 00:44:17.880 to cup with the actual recipe for the Podo rita makes some kind of efficient 592 00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:23.239 drink. Oh, it was top shelf. It was we were using uh 593 00:44:23.519 --> 00:44:29.639 uh shoot what something really nice tequila? And then I forget the brand. 594 00:44:30.639 --> 00:44:36.000 Um wasn't Triple sack it was. It was like Grand Marnier. I think 595 00:44:36.039 --> 00:44:40.880 we were using for triple sack um and then some really nice uh sour mix. 596 00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.880 Not just like the bartender's plastic. It was in like a glass freaking 597 00:44:45.159 --> 00:44:49.920 jar of sweet and starment. Dude. They were they were why don't why 598 00:44:49.920 --> 00:44:54.119 don't you make a video of that? The Kadi m r D Podo Rita 599 00:44:53.000 --> 00:44:59.440 MHAs good. Nay, I will maybe should Maybe I will matter, Mike. 600 00:45:00.159 --> 00:45:02.719 I mean, Matt twelve volte cooler gets so much use just because of 601 00:45:02.760 --> 00:45:08.440 Poda. Speaking of that, Mike, did you end up with a with 602 00:45:08.519 --> 00:45:14.559 a power cable of mine? Negative? Because I'm missing a my AC power 603 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:17.559 cable to my the fridge that looks like yours, and it was underneath your 604 00:45:17.559 --> 00:45:22.320 cables. It was underneath that bag of cookies that was yours inside of my 605 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:24.559 fridge, and now it's gone. I had already asked in the chat if 606 00:45:24.559 --> 00:45:30.039 someone else took it. Nobody. I have my UH Walward adapter and I 607 00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.960 have my uh the other cable that came with it that I have. Somebody 608 00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:42.159 took it because I've got I've got one. I've got my man. I 609 00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:45.480 mean, it looks like a power cable. Maybe you ate it with the 610 00:45:45.519 --> 00:45:50.480 cookies I have. I have the one I have the I have the one 611 00:45:50.519 --> 00:45:53.880 that came with the UH cigarette lighter cable that I put power poles on. 612 00:45:54.199 --> 00:45:57.679 So I have and that that's the one that I ran the fridge on all 613 00:45:57.719 --> 00:46:02.119 weekend. But inside of the fridge was a AC cable and it now it's 614 00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:07.480 gone. It disappeared over the weekend, So it's probably you can probably get 615 00:46:07.480 --> 00:46:10.920 those on Amazon. It's probably not a big deal. But somebody, you 616 00:46:12.079 --> 00:46:14.920 store your cable is exactly the way I store mine, because I kept the 617 00:46:14.920 --> 00:46:17.599 AC thing in my cooler right and then when I ran out of battery when 618 00:46:17.599 --> 00:46:22.079 we when we hooked it up to the UH the eco flow, I was 619 00:46:22.199 --> 00:46:29.119 using my UH yeah well, and and my my ice I had two fridges 620 00:46:29.119 --> 00:46:31.119 there. My ice co had cables in it as well, and those are 621 00:46:31.159 --> 00:46:35.280 still there, but the one from that bang good fridge is missing, so 622 00:46:36.320 --> 00:46:38.039 somebody, somebody took it because it was there when we got there, So 623 00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:43.320 it's probably just shir it'll show up. It's probably it's probably next to that 624 00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:49.440 jumper cable you accused me of take, and now that thing's going, it's 625 00:46:49.440 --> 00:46:54.079 probably sitting in the camper. You should make a list. I didn't use 626 00:46:54.159 --> 00:46:57.960 it that weekend, so I don't know how it would have gotten taken out 627 00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:01.679 of the cooler. So someone else had to have taken out of the cooler 628 00:47:02.320 --> 00:47:06.079 and mistaken it for something because I didn't use it. I didn't plug my 629 00:47:06.079 --> 00:47:08.800 cooler into one hundred and twenty volts all weekend, so I wouldn't have had 630 00:47:08.800 --> 00:47:12.800 a need to use it. But I don't think I even went no. 631 00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:15.639 I had my I had my hater aids in there, didn't I know? 632 00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:19.559 Well, you had your cookie if you had those chocolate chip those chips away 633 00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:22.880 cookies in there, and it was sitting right underneath that bag of cookies. 634 00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.079 Huh. That's why I thought, well, maybe you grabbed it by mistake 635 00:47:25.079 --> 00:47:30.800 when you grabbed the cookies, because that's where it was. So that's why 636 00:47:30.800 --> 00:47:37.800 I asked no, because I've I've unpacked everything other than maybe one thing I 637 00:47:37.880 --> 00:47:40.440 haven't unpacked. You're watching it, he'll find it and then he'll feel bad. 638 00:47:40.519 --> 00:47:44.960 Not really bad, because Mike didn't feel bad about stuff, but uh, 639 00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:47.880 bring out a bunch of cats after I After I accused him of taking 640 00:47:47.920 --> 00:47:54.320 it, he was like, yeah, yeah, that's it. That's it. 641 00:47:55.480 --> 00:48:02.159 So anyway, moving on riveting, riveting, Yeah, yeah, riveting. 642 00:48:04.039 --> 00:48:10.679 That's why man always spares adapters because daptors walk away. Daftors walk away. 643 00:48:12.360 --> 00:48:15.960 You buy multiple adapters, right, that's why you get in one of 644 00:48:15.960 --> 00:48:17.719 Collus tackle boxes. Yeah. I just gonna say, whenever you put all 645 00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.239 the stuff back in the tackle box, you never misplace anything, right tackle 646 00:48:22.280 --> 00:48:25.920 box kids, right until you open it in half. Your crap is going. 647 00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.920 You're just like, well, now I gotta buy more crap until you 648 00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:31.760 you forget to latch it and you pick it up and oh, I've done 649 00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:38.639 that plenty of times. Was I was somewhere, Yeah, I that top 650 00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:45.679 part that that pops over ninety degrees right and secures everything in the back in 651 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:50.280 I have not latched that correctly and pulled that thing up and just everything. 652 00:48:50.320 --> 00:48:53.400 It's like a waterfall of just connectors, you know, and you it goes 653 00:48:53.440 --> 00:49:00.400 in slow motion, you know. Yeah, yeah, you're like, oh, 654 00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:02.440 yeah, yeah, I know that feeling. I haven't done that on 655 00:49:02.519 --> 00:49:07.440 that box yet, but yes, I know what you're talking about. Give 656 00:49:07.480 --> 00:49:09.840 it time, you will do you bring that with you everywhere you go, 657 00:49:09.960 --> 00:49:14.679 Kyle, Well, not everywhere I go, but most places. Yeah, 658 00:49:14.679 --> 00:49:16.920 if I'm going to go out to do poda, but keep in mind, 659 00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:22.119 it stays in my truck. Like it's not something that I have. That's 660 00:49:22.159 --> 00:49:25.920 my second So I've got a video coming out on Sunday that has all of 661 00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:30.599 the my tools. So I take that toolbag and my accessory bag and that 662 00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:35.480 stays in my truck and that's what I use whenever I go out and then 663 00:49:35.480 --> 00:49:38.199 I've got a whole other set of tools that I have here in the basement 664 00:49:38.280 --> 00:49:43.159 that I work on stuff with, right, So those are those aren't my 665 00:49:43.199 --> 00:49:45.000 main tools. Those are just you know, secondaries that I picked up. 666 00:49:47.840 --> 00:49:51.480 But Frank, Frank, mute yourself if you're not going to talk, please, 667 00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:55.000 But I mean, yeah, I'm sorry, man, But I'm not 668 00:49:55.079 --> 00:49:59.039 like, you know, hiking up a mountain with that thing right now. 669 00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:05.880 I mean, I'm not Adam, right right, I don't understand Adam whenever 670 00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:07.880 he takes like his little pixie thing that you know, that is that is 671 00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:13.679 this big, But then like the next video after that, he'll bring his 672 00:50:13.800 --> 00:50:19.519 ninety seven hundred right with four thousand cables and a and a full size yagi 673 00:50:19.719 --> 00:50:23.639 up. Yeah whatever, yeah, whatever, And it's like I don't understand, 674 00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:28.000 Like you're supposed to be the creator of small things and now you're hiking 675 00:50:28.079 --> 00:50:31.639 up with a seventy three hundred. I don't understand your philosophy here. See, 676 00:50:31.719 --> 00:50:36.760 he's a man. He likes to talk about he likes to talk about 677 00:50:36.840 --> 00:50:40.159 light lightweight packs. But he's done the he's done the he's done the manly 678 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:45.719 version as well. So sometimes you need more than one milliwatt, right, 679 00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:49.719 right, yeah, even if you are eight thousand feet in the year. 680 00:50:50.159 --> 00:50:52.360 But yeah, they probably turned the percentage all the way down to one on. 681 00:50:55.480 --> 00:50:59.559 It's a lot of radio for qrp's Like, my battery is only this 682 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:05.000 big, right, you only need to make four contacts up there, so 683 00:51:05.199 --> 00:51:08.639 you know that is true? Yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, 684 00:51:08.719 --> 00:51:13.440 so does well worth hiking up there for an hour and a half to make 685 00:51:13.480 --> 00:51:17.559 four contacts and coming back. That sounds like loads of fun. Yeah, 686 00:51:17.599 --> 00:51:21.719 but it's it's the journey, you know. It is the journey. That 687 00:51:21.920 --> 00:51:29.360 is true. That is true. It is the journey. So I had 688 00:51:29.440 --> 00:51:34.679 mentioned, let's see, I had mentioned on the stream on Sunday, the 689 00:51:34.679 --> 00:51:37.400 one that borked on us really badly. I haven't had that problem since then. 690 00:51:39.119 --> 00:51:50.920 So about doing a giveaway to my email list once I reach twenty thousand 691 00:51:50.920 --> 00:51:55.159 email subscribers. So that list is right here, and I'll share this in 692 00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:58.400 the cha and a lot of people, a lot of you joined the email 693 00:51:58.400 --> 00:52:01.119 list after Sunday night's stream, So I shaate you guys doing that. Um, 694 00:52:01.159 --> 00:52:06.079 so I'm gonna I'm gonna give you know, We've got like twenty eight 695 00:52:06.119 --> 00:52:10.079 twenty nine hundred subs to go. So it's not gonna happen in a week 696 00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:15.679 or weekend. But once it gets there, I'm gonna give away something like 697 00:52:15.679 --> 00:52:22.199 a HF radio of some sort, sent seven ten something like that. So 698 00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:24.880 I got a while togo, but that's okay, So sign up on the 699 00:52:24.920 --> 00:52:30.000 email list. I just shared the link in the chat and uh, today's 700 00:52:30.360 --> 00:52:34.400 Today's email that went out about this had one of Joe Brett's videos, So 701 00:52:34.800 --> 00:52:37.760 that video that that email might have gotten him over the hump already. I 702 00:52:37.760 --> 00:52:39.599 don't know, but we wanted to make sure he got there today. Joe 703 00:52:39.639 --> 00:52:43.559 Brett, check real quick? Are you over the hump? I don't know 704 00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:51.360 if it's updated, we'll see what step are you in? Yeah, well 705 00:52:51.519 --> 00:52:55.960 the last time he had ten tops the question a lot of episodes ago. 706 00:52:58.280 --> 00:53:04.039 Yeah, it hadn't updated yet to still showing nine one. Okay, Yeah, 707 00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:07.880 it might not update till tomorrow. So what Scott was talking about earlier, 708 00:53:07.960 --> 00:53:13.880 They did lower for everything but ad revenue. But it hasn't rolled out 709 00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:16.639 to everybody. They said like two weeks ago. By next week, which 710 00:53:16.639 --> 00:53:21.440 would have been last week, it should be available to just about everybody, 711 00:53:21.480 --> 00:53:28.760 but in the US YouTube is not really known for keeping up with the true 712 00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:31.079 don't you hit that? It's like four thousand watch hours and then they announced 713 00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:35.199 whenever you've got three thousand, nine hund ninety five, Hey, we're gonna 714 00:53:35.199 --> 00:53:38.679 lower this to two thousand, right, But it wasn't you So if it's 715 00:53:38.719 --> 00:53:43.000 if it's not AD revenue, what are they what is that target? Now? 716 00:53:43.039 --> 00:53:47.000 What is that? Super chats, channel memberships, okay, super things 717 00:53:47.159 --> 00:53:52.199 stuff like that, Okay, everything everything but AD revenue, everything but the 718 00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:54.760 addu They still want you to grind for the hours for AD revenue, I 719 00:53:54.800 --> 00:53:58.079 guess. So yeah, yeah, because they want to keep all that at 720 00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:00.800 a right, they're putting ads on your videos anyway, so they yeah, 721 00:54:00.840 --> 00:54:05.119 they want to, they want to. I love it whenever, So you 722 00:54:05.159 --> 00:54:07.599 know, I like Thomas, but you know, whenever he says, well 723 00:54:07.599 --> 00:54:09.360 I don't put ads on my video, I'm just like, yeah, yeah 724 00:54:09.480 --> 00:54:15.760 you do. Well maybe you don't, but they sorry to tell you this, 725 00:54:15.840 --> 00:54:19.880 but YouTube does. Yeah, that's why Adam and Charlie used to say 726 00:54:19.880 --> 00:54:21.880 that. And when they change that, I'm like, you guys need to 727 00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:27.039 turn on monetization and and keep your fair share or just donate it somewhere to 728 00:54:27.039 --> 00:54:30.000 sum him radio, Cause so would you imagine what kind of garbage would be 729 00:54:30.039 --> 00:54:34.280 on YouTube if they just let everybody get monetized, allowed to putting any work 730 00:54:34.800 --> 00:54:37.519 into it. That's true. You know, we all paid our dues by 731 00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.880 doing this, by making countless videos and going through the process of attracting people 732 00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:46.360 to come and subscribe to us. There's I'm not complaining about the about the 733 00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:50.960 stipulations behind it, but but it is frustrating when they change stuff, you 734 00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:54.360 know. But yes, no, I uh no, that's that. Yeah, 735 00:54:54.360 --> 00:54:58.039 it's it's it's a good thing that you can't just create a channel today 736 00:54:58.079 --> 00:55:00.679 and put a cat video on it and just start making money, start making 737 00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:07.559 thirty cents a month or whatever it is. And people don't understand that Google 738 00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:13.440 is notorious for changing stuff and not telling that anybody, or if they do, 739 00:55:13.840 --> 00:55:16.920 they're very either cryptic about it or they say in the next coming weeks 740 00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:22.639 and then four months later, yeah it applies to you. So welcome to 741 00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:25.039 the world of search engine optimizations. Yeah, so we do it that every 742 00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:30.480 day. Google is like whenever our club had we're a non for profit and 743 00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:36.760 we got Google, Google apps, Google whatever, education, non for profit 744 00:55:36.840 --> 00:55:39.480 for free. So everyone got an email address, and there's a whole admin 745 00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:44.280 section back behind there, and they would change crap all the time, and 746 00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:46.440 I would go in and be like, what is this new setting that I 747 00:55:46.480 --> 00:55:51.480 have to now set because Google changed it and didn't tell anybody, you know, 748 00:55:53.280 --> 00:55:55.719 Shame on you, Google. Yeah, I'll tell you what. I'll 749 00:55:55.719 --> 00:56:00.199 tell you. Dale has an excellent idea here, Come on, everyone has 750 00:56:00.199 --> 00:56:04.280 a seventy three hundred give away seventy eight fifty one. I would be happy 751 00:56:04.280 --> 00:56:07.159 to Dale, go ahead and go buy one, go to Hroo, purchase 752 00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:08.239 one, and to have it shipped to me, and I'd be more than 753 00:56:08.280 --> 00:56:10.519 glad to give one of those away. Thank you for the offer, Dale, 754 00:56:12.159 --> 00:56:15.639 I'm getting another part. What a generous soul to want to donate a 755 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:19.519 seventy eight fifty one for me. He's real sweet at him. Isn't that 756 00:56:19.599 --> 00:56:22.320 great? I don't want to send me another Flex two while you're in it? 757 00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:30.599 Right right? I think Last has one for sale? Is he still 758 00:56:30.639 --> 00:56:32.559 selling his? What is it just sixty? Yeah? I'm not I'm not 759 00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:37.480 buying that piece of joke now that thinks like twenty years old? Yeah, 760 00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:40.639 sixty seven, you're sixty seven hundreds? That old yeah, but it's still 761 00:56:40.920 --> 00:56:47.079 it's still a contest grade radio. Not buying I'm not buying a sixty three 762 00:56:47.159 --> 00:56:54.760 hundred that has no hash one uh, no filters and uh uh what all 763 00:56:54.800 --> 00:57:00.880 the other stuff? A D did one? Only one? Yeah? What 764 00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:02.159 do they call it? I always want to call it an MCU, but 765 00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:06.280 that's a Marvel Stematic universe, so I don't know what. Yeah, um, 766 00:57:06.840 --> 00:57:12.840 spectral capture unit. Yeah yeah, spectral capture unit yeah seuu yeah yep, 767 00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:15.400 only one. Yeah. I need an upgrade. I need to. 768 00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:22.119 I was talking to uh Matt at at him Bention and let's talk to say. 769 00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:23.400 I think I want to go ahead and bite the bullet and get a 770 00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:28.159 sixty sixty six hundred And he's like, well, you can trade in your 771 00:57:28.159 --> 00:57:30.199 sixty four hundred and I'm like, yeah, might end up doing that. 772 00:57:30.239 --> 00:57:34.760 We'll see. I'm gonna I'm gonna buy a sixty six hundred at Huntsville, 773 00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:38.840 are you yeah, four to replace your sixty seven or what? Nope? 774 00:57:39.239 --> 00:57:43.119 To uh so I'll have a sixty seven and a sixty six hundred. I 775 00:57:43.159 --> 00:57:46.280 want to do satellites out of the contest station, and the sixty seven hundred 776 00:57:46.280 --> 00:57:52.079 only has one transverter port. The sixty six has two. So and it's 777 00:57:52.079 --> 00:57:58.280 in my master plan to hopefully get everybody on the Flex radio for contesting, 778 00:57:58.880 --> 00:58:02.440 because right now we're just whenever we're down at the locations or at the contest 779 00:58:02.480 --> 00:58:09.320 station, we're running Kenwood nine nineties, which the harshness after contesting for twelve 780 00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:16.280 sixteen hours. It's just it's night and day difference between the hash harshness of 781 00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:22.039 that Kenwood versus the Flex. So the TS nin nineties like their flagship though, 782 00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:24.239 I would think that that had pretty good filtering in Yeah, but the 783 00:58:24.280 --> 00:58:30.360 thing that radio is twenty years old, man. Yeah. Plus, it's 784 00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:36.039 true that the issue with contesters and we do multiops down there is I don't 785 00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:38.039 like the only time I get on that radio is whenever I contest. I 786 00:58:38.039 --> 00:58:40.599 don't know what any of the other buttons do. I don't know, like 787 00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:44.760 sometimes I don't even know how to change bands, you know. So if 788 00:58:44.760 --> 00:58:49.280 we have one set of radios that a lot of people have, and then 789 00:58:49.320 --> 00:58:52.039 also it's kind of set and forget in the Flex world, it makes it 790 00:58:52.079 --> 00:58:59.639 a lot easier, that's true. Gesturing you can do profiles also right right 791 00:58:59.679 --> 00:59:01.280 if you Yeah, you can set it the way you like and then name 792 00:59:01.519 --> 00:59:05.760 name a profile to your call sign, and then when you sit down at 793 00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:09.800 the radio, bring up your profile and you're ready to go yep, that 794 00:59:09.960 --> 00:59:14.000 is true. You know what's unfortunate. I guess there's only one booth that 795 00:59:14.119 --> 00:59:17.880 you really buy a Flex from. So we're not gonna be able to We're 796 00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:23.119 not gonna be able to film you going from booth to booth with bleeping with 797 00:59:23.199 --> 00:59:25.960 him. Well, you know what, you know what we could do? 798 00:59:27.079 --> 00:59:30.039 No at Joe Brett. What we could do is I could go over to 799 00:59:30.079 --> 00:59:35.079 different booths and ask them if they have a Flex radio or two to sell 800 00:59:35.519 --> 00:59:37.920 Reaction right, and then they say no, we don't sell Flex radios, 801 00:59:37.920 --> 00:59:42.840 and I was like, God, go over the next You know what you 802 00:59:42.920 --> 00:59:45.320 do is you go tell Gigaparts you want to buy one, because they sell 803 00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:49.280 all the amplifiers now or the amp, the tutor genius, the attendagy, 804 00:59:49.360 --> 00:59:52.079 they sell everything but the radio right, and say okay, I want to 805 00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:54.000 sixty six hundred, And then you have Steve and Steve would probably play along 806 00:59:54.039 --> 00:59:58.119 with you. Then you have Steve in there He's like, uh, we 807 00:59:58.159 --> 01:00:01.239 don't have that, and you're like, rest that you can hand them Jason 808 01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:07.239 or Mike's code for five percent off, right, that's right, Yeah, 809 01:00:07.280 --> 01:00:13.679 I want this. Yeah right, that's that's odd that Gigga parts. I'd 810 01:00:13.679 --> 01:00:16.800 never thought about that, Jason Gigga parts are Joe Brett. They sell all 811 01:00:17.039 --> 01:00:22.719 but the radio, Like, why don't they sell the radio. I don't 812 01:00:22.760 --> 01:00:24.079 know why they don't sell the radio. I'm not sure why they did that. 813 01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:28.320 But Flex has made which you already know this, Kyle Flex has made 814 01:00:28.320 --> 01:00:36.920 their tuners and antenna switches and amplifiers um almost one compatible with other brands of 815 01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:42.480 radio. So Kim would, Yazu Elcraft will, we'll match up with with 816 01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:47.400 the Flex um peripherals very nicely. Probably probably not as probably not as succinctly 817 01:00:47.559 --> 01:00:52.320 as a Flex radio does. But you can. You can totally get to 818 01:00:52.440 --> 01:00:55.239 when there's a freaking dirt douver on top of my monitor here, just sitting 819 01:00:55.239 --> 01:01:00.599 there, just crawling across. Uh, So yeah, you can get to. 820 01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:07.280 You can get a power genius or a tuner genius or whatever to sync 821 01:01:07.360 --> 01:01:12.079 up with pretty much any radio. Yeah. I think any decent amplifier made 822 01:01:12.119 --> 01:01:15.400 today probably has that ability, right, I think that's yeah, Yeah, 823 01:01:15.440 --> 01:01:20.639 I know that the kPa five hundred that I have works very well behind behind 824 01:01:20.639 --> 01:01:23.159 a nice seventy three hundred. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know 825 01:01:23.239 --> 01:01:29.480 jack crap about amplifiers, but I think anything made recently has got some type 826 01:01:29.480 --> 01:01:32.800 of um, you know, input that takes the frequency or it has a 827 01:01:32.840 --> 01:01:37.920 frequency counter in it and it instantly tunes or and you know, granted if 828 01:01:37.920 --> 01:01:42.800 you've got a resonant antenna, but it it puts out power well. And 829 01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:49.239 the the kPa five hundred doesn't do bands switching like that, but well, 830 01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:52.400 you can get it, but you can. You can do manual bands if 831 01:01:52.440 --> 01:01:54.559 if you do manual band switching, all it is is an RCA cable between 832 01:01:54.559 --> 01:01:57.559 the radio and the alum. Yeah that's what I mean. Yeah, yeah, 833 01:01:57.639 --> 01:02:00.400 yeah, so you can. You can do it. You can set 834 01:02:00.440 --> 01:02:04.760 it up a little bit more intricately than that and do band switching, but 835 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:07.760 you don't have to do that. Just pay attention to your bands. So 836 01:02:07.519 --> 01:02:09.719 but it's good, it's good, it's good. Ample. I really like 837 01:02:09.760 --> 01:02:14.400 that kPa five I'm gonna do a I'm gonna take it out and do a 838 01:02:14.440 --> 01:02:19.639 photo video with it soon, So that's gonna be fun. Yeah anything, 839 01:02:19.719 --> 01:02:23.360 fuh, sorry, flex. Anything Flex makes us great. Anything Elacraft makes 840 01:02:23.480 --> 01:02:27.880 is great. Also, Yes, yeah, Ellocraft stuff is really good. 841 01:02:29.519 --> 01:02:35.199 So all right, Um, I don't know what Carlos's current situation is. 842 01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:39.280 Yeah, Kyle, I really enjoyed that activation from the park over and at 843 01:02:39.280 --> 01:02:44.719 the arch of the day. Oh thanks, Yeah, it was. Um. 844 01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:49.599 You know what's funny is after I released that video, I had like 845 01:02:50.000 --> 01:02:53.960 four people emo me and say hey, I set up like they did the 846 01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:57.920 exact same thing that I did. They took all their crap out and they 847 01:02:58.360 --> 01:03:02.239 like hid underneath the tree or like put themselves like you know, down on 848 01:03:02.239 --> 01:03:06.119 this hill where nobody could see them. And they're like, yeah, I 849 01:03:06.159 --> 01:03:08.559 totally get it, Like I understand now why you did what you did. 850 01:03:08.599 --> 01:03:13.639 I'm just like, I don't know why the Rangers and the arts grounds, 851 01:03:13.679 --> 01:03:21.400 the Gateway Archs grounds are so particular and and butt hettish about amateur radio operators. 852 01:03:21.400 --> 01:03:24.079 But yeah, it's just like the place just gives off the vibe of 853 01:03:24.440 --> 01:03:30.800 we don't want you. Yeah, still require that those crazy I don't know. 854 01:03:30.760 --> 01:03:35.440 I don't know. I didn't even like it's easier to ask for forgiveness 855 01:03:35.559 --> 01:03:37.400 than ask for from Russian. I just didn't want to. I just I 856 01:03:37.440 --> 01:03:42.039 just didn't want to go through that process of me calling down there and then 857 01:03:42.079 --> 01:03:44.360 saying, oh, yeah, you gotta have a permit, and you gotta 858 01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:45.920 do it on this day, and you gotta have a million dollars of insurance. 859 01:03:45.960 --> 01:03:49.440 I'm just like, you know what if they catch me and they give 860 01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:55.639 me a seventy five dollars ticket, so what insurance would would they really ticket 861 01:03:55.679 --> 01:04:00.519 you? Though? I don't know, just making that up. Usually they 862 01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:01.880 just tell you, oh no, you gotta leave. Yeah. Yeah. 863 01:04:02.000 --> 01:04:03.840 Then I just pack up my stuff and go and she's like, oh, 864 01:04:03.880 --> 01:04:06.000 I'm sorry. I didn't know. You know, I thought this was a 865 01:04:06.039 --> 01:04:14.079 free country on the fourth end, lie yeah, gateway to the west man, 866 01:04:14.159 --> 01:04:17.119 come on, yeah, I mean come on yeah right, I mean 867 01:04:18.159 --> 01:04:21.239 went through the arch to get to the other side. Come on, that's 868 01:04:21.320 --> 01:04:30.559 right. I uh yeah, I have. I have. Every time that 869 01:04:30.920 --> 01:04:34.599 a ray a part a state park ranger has come up to us or to 870 01:04:34.719 --> 01:04:39.599 me while doing PODA, they're always they're always like about nine times out of 871 01:04:39.599 --> 01:04:41.840 ten they're like, hey, what are you doing? And I tell him 872 01:04:42.079 --> 01:04:44.840 and they're like, oh okay, yeah, cool, have fun. Every 873 01:04:44.880 --> 01:04:47.639 now and then they'll be like, well, but I've never really had a 874 01:04:47.639 --> 01:04:51.199 problem with the state part, other than the the guy that Ray Roberts had 875 01:04:51.199 --> 01:04:55.880 told us we couldn't drink. He's like, kid, you're not really supposed 876 01:04:55.920 --> 01:04:58.840 to have that out But he was cool about it. He's just like, 877 01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:00.760 yeah, just you're not to have that out here. Just kind of hide 878 01:05:00.800 --> 01:05:03.559 that. And we're like, okay, that's cool. But the National park 879 01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:05.760 guys, those are the guys who they don't they don't get it, they 880 01:05:05.800 --> 01:05:08.719 don't understand. They're like, no, no, you can't be here, 881 01:05:08.920 --> 01:05:12.440 right, it's a national park. I have an annual pass. Yeah, 882 01:05:12.920 --> 01:05:15.800 no, no, you can't do that. I could totally understand, Like 883 01:05:15.880 --> 01:05:17.840 if I tried to take some alligator clips and load the arch up on one 884 01:05:17.920 --> 01:05:23.239 hundred and sixty meters, I would understand that. Sure, yeah, but 885 01:05:23.360 --> 01:05:27.239 I was far away, you know. But I mean whenever we did it 886 01:05:27.280 --> 01:05:30.679 in two thousand and sixteen, back to my channel and you take a look 887 01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:34.239 at my two thousand and sixteen video through on National Parks in the air, 888 01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:38.119 we were right in front of the arch, like right in front of it, 889 01:05:38.239 --> 01:05:41.199 right, and we had our signs out. I mean I could understand 890 01:05:41.239 --> 01:05:45.000 that, but going off like you know, north of the grounds or south 891 01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:47.000 of the grounds and setting up and not being on the way and YadA, 892 01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:50.880 YadA. Just leave me alone. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. 893 01:05:50.960 --> 01:05:56.000 Yeah, you're not bothering anybody, right, not in anybody's way. Jason, 894 01:05:56.039 --> 01:06:00.719 how about the estate trooper that said you couldn't have elector aio? Oh 895 01:06:00.800 --> 01:06:05.519 yeah, that yeah, that was weird. That Yeah, that's the only 896 01:06:05.519 --> 01:06:09.599 time I've ever heard that. That was that Fairfield Lake State Park that they 897 01:06:09.599 --> 01:06:14.000 were closing down. Um, so we went out there. This this is 898 01:06:14.440 --> 01:06:18.639 uh Fairfield, Texas, which is about about halfway between Oh it's a little 899 01:06:18.639 --> 01:06:23.000 bit closer to mic thing it is me but you know, not too far 900 01:06:23.079 --> 01:06:28.159 from being halfway between here in Galveston. But um, there's a straight shot 901 01:06:28.159 --> 01:06:30.840 south down Interstate forty five. So they announced they were closing the state park, 902 01:06:31.039 --> 01:06:33.840 which I think it's still open, isn't it. They changed something. 903 01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:38.599 It's open during the day. Yeah, but I think that I think the 904 01:06:38.639 --> 01:06:45.239 state is getting that whole Uh oh, what the hell is it? I 905 01:06:45.280 --> 01:06:47.239 think? Oh yeah, yeah, that's like that's that's going on, which 906 01:06:47.320 --> 01:06:49.679 I didn't think was going to happen, but so they might they might be 907 01:06:49.719 --> 01:06:54.920 saved. Okay, so yeah, So so they announced they were closing it 908 01:06:55.519 --> 01:06:59.559 and because I think the person or group or company that owned it didn't want 909 01:06:59.559 --> 01:07:01.599 to renew the lease or whatever something like. I don't remember the exact story, 910 01:07:02.159 --> 01:07:05.039 but for some reason it was changing hands. They were going to shut 911 01:07:05.039 --> 01:07:08.320 down the state parks. So we're like, hey, let's go activate this 912 01:07:08.440 --> 01:07:11.239 before you can't anymore. Be a cool, cool thing to have in your 913 01:07:11.280 --> 01:07:15.480 log. So we went down there and my buddy Maurice came five RF. 914 01:07:15.519 --> 01:07:16.639 He went down there and he camped for like a week and a half. 915 01:07:16.719 --> 01:07:19.159 If you go out there, and look, I think he's still top activator 916 01:07:19.599 --> 01:07:24.400 on that park. But so we go out there and we're hanging out on 917 01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:28.199 a Saturday afternoon. Frank's there and Mike, did you come down that day? 918 01:07:29.280 --> 01:07:33.920 No, I was down right, And so we're sitting there with and 919 01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:36.519 I got Electro on a leash and she's tied to the table, the picnic 920 01:07:36.559 --> 01:07:40.400 table we're at, and the park ranger comes by and he's like, you 921 01:07:40.400 --> 01:07:45.159 can't have a dog out near the water because there's a swimming area about one 922 01:07:45.199 --> 01:07:49.639 hundred and fifty feet that way, probably two hundred and fifty feet that way. 923 01:07:50.119 --> 01:07:53.559 He's like, you can't have a dog near the and there's there is 924 01:07:53.559 --> 01:07:55.960 a sign. He's like, well, there's a sign, and there was 925 01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:58.199 this and I didn't see the sign, but I'm like, well, there's 926 01:07:58.239 --> 01:08:00.119 no sign. But he was right. There was a sign, but it 927 01:08:00.159 --> 01:08:03.119 was kind of like off to the side, and I didn't see it when 928 01:08:03.159 --> 01:08:05.280 I was pulling it. There was no sign right there where we were, 929 01:08:05.480 --> 01:08:09.920 But as you're driving in, there was a sign. So I'm like, 930 01:08:09.920 --> 01:08:13.199 well, okay, that's that's awfully strange because I've had this dog at one 931 01:08:13.239 --> 01:08:15.640 hundred different parks throughout the state of Texas. Well, not not throughout the 932 01:08:15.680 --> 01:08:18.560 state of Texas, but like twenty or thirty parks in the state of Texas, 933 01:08:19.039 --> 01:08:23.279 and and he's like, well, they're all that way, and I'm 934 01:08:23.319 --> 01:08:25.800 like, no, no, they are not all that way. No. 935 01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:28.239 I'm like, no, they I can promise you. Oh no, I 936 01:08:28.279 --> 01:08:30.880 worked for all But I'm like, dude, I'm telling you you want to 937 01:08:30.880 --> 01:08:32.439 do this here, fine, you got to sign up. Fine, okay, 938 01:08:32.479 --> 01:08:34.720 I'm not arguing with you about that, but tell don't tell me they're 939 01:08:34.760 --> 01:08:38.640 all that way in the state of Texas. That is untrue because I've had 940 01:08:38.640 --> 01:08:41.880 this dog in thirty parks in the state of Texas. So no, so 941 01:08:41.920 --> 01:08:43.840 I put the dog in the truck. No big deal. And then over 942 01:08:43.880 --> 01:08:45.960 the next hour and an hour, hour and a half as we continue to 943 01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:48.880 operate, and it was a nice cool day outside, that cracked the window. 944 01:08:49.079 --> 01:08:53.000 It wasn't hot. People freaking, oh you put your dog in the 945 01:08:53.039 --> 01:08:56.399 truck. It was not. It was like fifty five fifty degrees outside. 946 01:08:56.399 --> 01:09:00.199 We were wearing jackets and she was fine. But uh, and I check 947 01:09:00.239 --> 01:09:02.439 on it every now and then too. But yeah, over the course the 948 01:09:02.439 --> 01:09:05.239 next hour and a half was we were out there, at least a half 949 01:09:05.279 --> 01:09:09.239 dozen people showed up and brought their dogs out of their car and took them 950 01:09:09.279 --> 01:09:13.079 down to the water, not where even I was. And that's that trooper 951 01:09:13.159 --> 01:09:15.279 was never to be seen again. He never came back, not when I 952 01:09:15.319 --> 01:09:17.399 was there. And I'm like, yeah, this is a really enforced rule 953 01:09:17.439 --> 01:09:20.760 here. He got here, pal, this was a state trooper in a 954 01:09:21.199 --> 01:09:26.520 in a state park. Yep. Wow, yep. Just shows that Karen's 955 01:09:26.520 --> 01:09:30.159 and Kevin's all were uniforms sometimes right, Yeah, it wasn't the state park 956 01:09:30.239 --> 01:09:32.680 police. It was an actual state trooper. I believe it was a state 957 01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:39.000 Well, no, it was a Texas State park trooper. Anger. It 958 01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:42.000 was a ranger. Yeah, okay, yeah, okay, No, no, 959 01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:44.720 no, it wouldn't. It wouldn't. It wouldn't a dot guy. 960 01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:48.520 No, it was a um it was a park ranger. Yeah, but 961 01:09:48.720 --> 01:09:51.279 you know the park the park rangers, they worked all the parks, you 962 01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:55.039 know, they're not usually tied to one park. Sometimes they'll go to other 963 01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:58.199 parks and work, right. Yeah, I just I heard state trooper. 964 01:09:58.239 --> 01:10:00.079 I was thinking, oh, you know a highway state you know. No, 965 01:10:00.079 --> 01:10:02.239 no, no, no, he was a he was a park ranger. 966 01:10:02.279 --> 01:10:06.439 He so he he should have known what he was talking talking about. 967 01:10:06.479 --> 01:10:11.520 But later Steve, thanks for joining bud. Ye see you guys there were 968 01:10:11.560 --> 01:10:15.800 good well man and yeah, but yeah he was he was completely wrong about 969 01:10:16.079 --> 01:10:20.600 yeah, but dogs not being allowed in other parks. So and also one 970 01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:27.520 other thing about that, that PODA activation is there's been thirty or forty people 971 01:10:27.560 --> 01:10:30.800 that have activated the arch And I tell him my my video a story where 972 01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:36.520 I came down and caught somebody that they were the rules of PODA state that 973 01:10:36.640 --> 01:10:42.640 your antenna and your radio and you have to be in the park like you 974 01:10:42.720 --> 01:10:45.800 just can't throw a line over a sign and say, oh, it's in 975 01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:48.359 the park now, and I'm gonna, you know, set on the thing. 976 01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:53.640 And I caught somebody I don't know who it was, and at the 977 01:10:53.680 --> 01:10:57.600 time, I didn't feel like, you know, being a Karen and so 978 01:10:58.640 --> 01:11:01.920 I came down and they were setting on the side of the road with their 979 01:11:01.960 --> 01:11:08.359 co acts across the sidewalk and their antenna in the national park. And I'm 980 01:11:08.399 --> 01:11:12.000 like, hmm, that's not legal, but you know, people are gonna 981 01:11:12.000 --> 01:11:15.680 do what people are gonna do. So yeah, I did that one time 982 01:11:16.079 --> 01:11:26.239 at Galveston because they will. It's it's ambiguous and and and I looked at 983 01:11:26.279 --> 01:11:28.199 it later and I'm like, oh, no, this was totally legal. 984 01:11:28.279 --> 01:11:31.640 But it's like you can park the Super Secret, which is not that big 985 01:11:31.640 --> 01:11:34.960 of a secret that that that Mike and I activate out sometimes. It is 986 01:11:34.960 --> 01:11:40.199 on the very edge of the park on the beach, and they had that 987 01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:42.600 section of the park closed down for a couple years while they were renovating. 988 01:11:42.600 --> 01:11:45.439 But you can't close the beach because the beach is imminent domain. The beach 989 01:11:45.479 --> 01:11:49.039 is public domain. So we I would park on the sign that said Galveston 990 01:11:49.039 --> 01:11:53.199 Island State Park is behind here, and I would park there and put my 991 01:11:53.239 --> 01:11:58.039 antenna out over the over the edge and I would activate. And I didn't 992 01:11:58.079 --> 01:11:59.960 know that at the time. I was like, wait a minute, that's 993 01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:02.000 not legal because you're intenta, you're radiating from there. That that only makes 994 01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:05.279 sense. But if you go look at Google Maps, that whole area is 995 01:12:05.279 --> 01:12:09.279 actually part of the park. They just put the defense that you can't drive 996 01:12:09.319 --> 01:12:12.600 on or that you can't drive past. They put it inside the park. 997 01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:15.439 Yeah, so you're inside the park the whole time anyway, So it didn't 998 01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:17.159 really matter. But I was just like, I thought that that rule was 999 01:12:17.199 --> 01:12:20.920 strange that your radio had to be inside the park. I'm like, I 1000 01:12:21.000 --> 01:12:25.239 thought, you if your antenna was inside the and we're talking about six feet 1001 01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:28.920 here, yeah, talk about you know your intenna's inside the park, that 1002 01:12:29.000 --> 01:12:30.479 should count. So I always thought that was a weird rule. But whatever. 1003 01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:38.119 We play this game every year from Missouri Cuso party where people claim to 1004 01:12:38.199 --> 01:12:41.239 be on county lines, and I wish that they would just remove the county 1005 01:12:41.279 --> 01:12:45.840 line rule and just make it fun and just be in the spirit of the 1006 01:12:45.880 --> 01:12:48.760 contest. But if you take a look at bing maps, open street maps, 1007 01:12:48.960 --> 01:12:55.199 Google Maps, and the topo map for or the the county line map 1008 01:12:55.319 --> 01:12:59.520 on the county website. They all have four different locations of where the county 1009 01:12:59.560 --> 01:13:04.159 lines are located. Oh wow, that's gotta be Yeah, so you know, 1010 01:13:04.479 --> 01:13:06.239 yeah, they put in the rules. Oh, you have to go 1011 01:13:06.279 --> 01:13:10.159 to the you know, you have to go to the courthouse and you got 1012 01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:12.880 to check out the map and then some you know, Mabel has to bring 1013 01:13:12.920 --> 01:13:15.039 it to you on parchment paper and then you got to figure out like you 1014 01:13:15.079 --> 01:13:19.079 know, I'm just like, guys, we gotta quit this. Yeah. 1015 01:13:19.119 --> 01:13:23.319 Wow, that is just and I'm looking at Google Maps right now. That 1016 01:13:23.520 --> 01:13:28.039 is just inside the park? It is? Is this just in fact, 1017 01:13:28.119 --> 01:13:32.079 that road from three thousand and five where we take, Yeah, that road 1018 01:13:32.159 --> 01:13:38.119 is technically inside the park. And so so when you turn on that road, 1019 01:13:38.159 --> 01:13:41.119 you're technically because I I've seen people when you turn on that road and 1020 01:13:41.119 --> 01:13:43.720 you're driving towards the beach. I've seen there's a little pull off section over 1021 01:13:43.760 --> 01:13:45.920 there to the right, and I've seen guy, I've seen our v guys 1022 01:13:46.000 --> 01:13:48.720 parked there before, and I drove by one time there was a guy in 1023 01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:53.079 a big coach motor coach and he had an intenta up I'm like, oh, 1024 01:13:53.159 --> 01:13:55.399 he's got an intenta up, So I'll go down there in the park 1025 01:13:55.399 --> 01:13:57.920 and I sit up and he comes walking down like twenty minutes later. He's 1026 01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:00.079 like, hey, are you doing podos? Like yeah, He's like, 1027 01:14:00.119 --> 01:14:00.840 yeah, I'm up there. He goes, I don't know if I'm in 1028 01:14:00.840 --> 01:14:02.680 the park or not, and I'm like, yeah, you are. You're 1029 01:14:02.760 --> 01:14:05.920 You're on that side of the road, so you're good. But yeah, 1030 01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:09.720 I mean some guys, because you can't get that motor coach down there on 1031 01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:13.560 the sand. You know, you got you got that row of pylons down 1032 01:14:13.560 --> 01:14:15.640 there where we do the poda on the beach there. So if you're park 1033 01:14:16.079 --> 01:14:19.319 you put your antenna on the inside of the pylons where the actual beach is 1034 01:14:19.439 --> 01:14:25.399 whatever is that still considered you're in, Yeah, park is inside. You 1035 01:14:25.439 --> 01:14:28.920 don't we don't have to go through those pylons. But okay, right, 1036 01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:31.079 so you can't. Yeah, so Kyle's got it pulled up here. This 1037 01:14:31.119 --> 01:14:35.199 is a good Uh that's exactly where I'm not sure how you knew where we 1038 01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:39.800 were, Kyle, but that's exactly it. Um. But yeah, you 1039 01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:45.159 see that that that thirteen mile road right there, that's inside the green areas 1040 01:14:45.199 --> 01:14:47.520 the park and so that road that we drive down, and then there's beach 1041 01:14:47.600 --> 01:14:50.279 right here. You can't see on Google Maps or on that that image right 1042 01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:56.119 there, but that whole uh yeah yeah, that whole area right there. 1043 01:14:56.239 --> 01:14:59.359 There's also a set of pylons this just to the left or that circle Kyle 1044 01:14:59.479 --> 01:15:02.119 just drew where you can't you you can't drive pat because certain parts of the 1045 01:15:02.159 --> 01:15:04.880 beach you can drive in park on certain you can't, So they put those 1046 01:15:04.880 --> 01:15:08.279 pylons there so that you can't. Yeah, you can see it right, 1047 01:15:08.520 --> 01:15:11.960 yeah, yeah, but you're inside the park that whole time, so you 1048 01:15:11.960 --> 01:15:14.239 don't even have to cross the pylons. You can sit in your view. 1049 01:15:14.279 --> 01:15:16.279 And I've done this once I figured this out. I went down there and 1050 01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:19.520 I activated from the truck on I see seven thousand for a for a video 1051 01:15:19.520 --> 01:15:21.720 I made. I gave you crap for that too, because I'm like, 1052 01:15:21.720 --> 01:15:25.439 you're not in the park, Yeah I know. Yeah. I was like 1053 01:15:25.479 --> 01:15:28.000 actually yeah, yeah, yeah, because I didn't know where the lines were, 1054 01:15:28.119 --> 01:15:30.800 so yeah, but yeah, I did a vehicle activation from there one 1055 01:15:30.800 --> 01:15:35.159 time and made some contacts. But it well, and as we learned before, 1056 01:15:35.279 --> 01:15:38.319 you're gonna stet up a d X command or you want to be towards 1057 01:15:38.319 --> 01:15:42.920 the top of those pylons, Yeah, be more towards the grass, don't 1058 01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:48.119 your parts? Yeah? Yes, yes, when the tide's coming in, 1059 01:15:48.239 --> 01:15:53.439 you constantly have to move the antenna. Yes, you do. That's good, 1060 01:15:54.520 --> 01:15:59.680 good deal, Mike. You want to talk about that activation you're gonna 1061 01:15:59.680 --> 01:16:04.399 do with the Biowinno Oh that yeah. So I'm actually I'm actually working on 1062 01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:09.039 my DX commander antenna right now. I'm filming the video for a for a 1063 01:16:09.079 --> 01:16:13.319 mod that I'm doing to it. But um, yeah, so I don't 1064 01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:15.920 know when it's gonna happen. We've we've we've been planning it for a year 1065 01:16:15.840 --> 01:16:20.479 at least, but side Boom and I have been wanting to do this thousand 1066 01:16:20.520 --> 01:16:26.000 and want pot to activation. He's got an amplifier, uh, and we're 1067 01:16:26.039 --> 01:16:29.079 gonna use the DX Commander because the DX Commander will handle that much power. 1068 01:16:30.119 --> 01:16:34.079 Uh. So Kevin I told ket I was telling Kevin from Bioweno about this 1069 01:16:34.239 --> 01:16:40.119 at Dayton, and I'm like, you know, what would would you be 1070 01:16:40.159 --> 01:16:43.720 interested in, like sponsoring the video and supplying the batteries. So he hooked 1071 01:16:43.720 --> 01:16:46.600 me up with a couple three hundred amp batteries, uh three three hundred AM 1072 01:16:46.640 --> 01:16:50.439 power batteries and a couple of hundred AMP power batteries to see what they'll do. 1073 01:16:50.520 --> 01:17:00.840 So we're gonna do a battery power Allison Watt Poda activation EIC. Well, 1074 01:17:00.880 --> 01:17:08.279 so he says, the amp draws like eighty amps max. So even 1075 01:17:08.439 --> 01:17:13.680 so we have six hundred amp hours of capacity, really eight hundred, but 1076 01:17:13.720 --> 01:17:16.159 I've I've already got the all the wires and everything, so I put the 1077 01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:24.520 batteries in in parallel. Um, so six hundred amp hours should last us 1078 01:17:24.520 --> 01:17:29.039 with a thousand wat amp quite a quite a long time. Now. Eighty 1079 01:17:29.079 --> 01:17:33.600 amps seems a little low if you think, well, maybe not, because 1080 01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:38.960 I think on an FT eight, my seventy three hundred draws about maybe sixteen 1081 01:17:40.000 --> 01:17:44.159 if we're if we're doing maybe maybe twenty max for one hundred amps. When 1082 01:17:44.159 --> 01:17:48.800 you're when you're keyed down twenty to twenty two thousand watts and only push only 1083 01:17:48.880 --> 01:17:54.760 drawing eighty amps seems low, That's what he said. So I don't know, 1084 01:17:55.319 --> 01:17:57.560 Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't have any amplifiers, 1085 01:17:57.560 --> 01:17:59.960 so I don't. I don't really know anything about him. But you're gonna 1086 01:18:00.079 --> 01:18:02.439 do sideband, I assume. So yeah, it's not gonna be one hundred 1087 01:18:02.439 --> 01:18:05.800 percent duty cycle anyway, which can I could lasts longer, So yeah, 1088 01:18:05.880 --> 01:18:09.600 yeah, that'll be fun, y'all. Yeah, y'all, let me know 1089 01:18:09.640 --> 01:18:12.000 if if if I have time for you'll drive down to mea ch'all down there 1090 01:18:12.000 --> 01:18:14.239 where. Yeah, for sure you're gonna go to Huntsville or do you know 1091 01:18:14.239 --> 01:18:15.960 where you're gonna go yet? Well? He so he lives in Louisiana. 1092 01:18:16.239 --> 01:18:20.720 Yeah, he lives. I think he's probably about four hour drive for me. 1093 01:18:20.800 --> 01:18:27.199 So actually Ryan kfat Iv is probably gonna come along too because he's kind 1094 01:18:27.239 --> 01:18:34.159 of between us. So we're probably gonna do something, um kind of probably 1095 01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:38.439 around the Baytown area, kind of halfway between both of us. It'll it'll 1096 01:18:38.439 --> 01:18:44.119 probably be like on the Texas Louisiana border, um towards the ocean, um. 1097 01:18:44.800 --> 01:18:45.800 But I'm not sure. But we're also playing we want to do a 1098 01:18:45.800 --> 01:18:49.159 five park row down there, so we we We've got we've got a lot 1099 01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:53.119 of activities we want to do, but it's just a matter of coordinating everybody's 1100 01:18:53.159 --> 01:18:58.359 time to yeah to do it, so hopefully sooner than later, because I'm 1101 01:18:58.399 --> 01:19:03.920 I'm wanting to do this totally. Yeah, absolutely, okay, cool, 1102 01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:08.359 keep us posted on the date. Yeah, when I know something, I'll 1103 01:19:08.399 --> 01:19:11.760 let you know for sure. Sure, sure, sure. Yeah. So 1104 01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:18.399 I'm looking at UM the kPa fifteen hundred and it says that the supply voltage 1105 01:19:18.399 --> 01:19:26.560 and current is if you're running uh to twenty it only draws twenty amps. 1106 01:19:26.800 --> 01:19:30.159 Yeah, we're running twelve twelve volts. Yeah, but even if you yeah, 1107 01:19:30.199 --> 01:19:36.399 I mean I think eighty is is high? Okay, I mean, 1108 01:19:36.439 --> 01:19:43.800 hey, that'd be great. I think eighty is high. Yeah, because 1109 01:19:43.840 --> 01:19:46.479 I mean even if it'd be interesting test to see, like you know, 1110 01:19:46.560 --> 01:19:49.800 keep in mind, you know, older houses at even one hundred and twenty 1111 01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:54.760 volts, Like my house had sixty amp service and I upgraded it to one 1112 01:19:54.800 --> 01:19:59.399 hundred amp service, you know, yeah, twenty five years ago. So 1113 01:19:59.600 --> 01:20:03.600 somehow is don't even have one hundred amps coming into them. So right, 1114 01:20:05.479 --> 01:20:10.039 m I don't know. I don't have an app, Like Mike said, 1115 01:20:10.079 --> 01:20:14.359 I don't have an AMPH. Why am I the authority on amps? We 1116 01:20:14.439 --> 01:20:16.880 need to change the subject. Happy Internet, don't don't they have a para 1117 01:20:16.920 --> 01:20:20.359 genius there at the site? No? No, I mean we have we 1118 01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:29.399 have alpha's at manual Alpha's at I think they're Um, I forgot the model 1119 01:20:29.479 --> 01:20:32.119 number, but yeah, they still have the plate and the load and you 1120 01:20:32.159 --> 01:20:38.199 got to tune them and whatnot and uh but yeah, it'd be nice to 1121 01:20:38.199 --> 01:20:43.760 get the Everything else is automated except the amplifiers. So yeah, okay, 1122 01:20:43.800 --> 01:20:47.199 all right, well there you go. All right guys. Well, hey, 1123 01:20:47.199 --> 01:20:50.319 happy fourth everyone, Thanks for hanging out with us today.
