We try to do this every year and it is 25 00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:53.439 always a fan and I've been for the last I've attended ham Cash for the 26 00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:57.400 last I don't know, five six years something like that, and it's always 27 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:04.680 a fun show, especially when especially when it's fifteen to twenty degrees in North 28 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.800 Texas and hopefully not that cold in Florida. Although I was in Tampa last 29 00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:10.599 week and it was they were complaining that it was in the fifties. They're 30 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.439 like, yeah, it's usually not this cold here. I'm like, I'm 31 00:02:13.520 --> 00:02:16.439 right. It was twenty five degrees when I left Texas earlier today, So 32 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:22.479 so it's kind of one of those things. But we're gonna see how it 33 00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:24.280 goes. So let's go ahead and bring the guys on here. Hey, 34 00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:29.439 Glenn, thank you for the super chat buddy, appreciate the support there. 35 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:34.360 So let's go ahead and bring Frank and Michael on. What's going on you 36 00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.360 guys, nothing much. Thank you for having me on the show tonight. 37 00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:42.840 And you were talking about weather. We actually, yes, we hit the 38 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:47.360 thirties here. Oh okay, okay, that's pretty cool. That is pretty 39 00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:52.360 cold for Florida. Yeah, I'll give you that for sure. Wow, 40 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:58.719 okay, So I'll go forward to the warm weather, right, yeah, 41 00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:01.840 I mean it was literally like like this time. Yeah, last Sunday, 42 00:03:02.680 --> 00:03:07.680 it was like fifteen degrees fifteen eighteen degrees in the morning when I woke up, 43 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:12.680 when the right before the sun came up. And that's unusual for this 44 00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:16.479 area. It gets below freezing about two or three times a year, usually 45 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:20.919 not till February. So it's a little bit earlier this year than it normally 46 00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:23.680 is. But you know, it'll be like twenty eight, twenty nine, 47 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.439 thirty something like that. But fifteen degrees that was ridiculous. I'm like, 48 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:31.120 no, thank you, I don't want any part of that. So but 49 00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:36.240 go ahead, Frank, I saw that you kind of let Michael talk first, 50 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:39.039 So it's all right. Yeah, they're the guests on it here. 51 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:42.879 I know that I've been telling you that for like two years. I'm just 52 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:46.840 saying it just finally started to click, you know. I know, man, 53 00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.840 I'm doing good. I'm doing good to keep it warm and looking forward 54 00:03:49.879 --> 00:03:53.759 to the warm weather coming up next weekend for our Winter field Day event. 55 00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:57.319 And it's going to be awesome, man. Hopefully yeah, yeah, hopefully 56 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:00.800 the weather's warm. Yes, a, then we have a week of rest 57 00:04:00.919 --> 00:04:08.919 and then or let no yep. Jim says he was in Orlando yesterday and 58 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.520 it was cold. I'm from Texas also. Okay, so you said us, 59 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.080 what like, what is it right now, Michael? What is it 60 00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:19.399 today? Today? Right now? Is probably about fifty outside? Okay this 61 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:24.000 morning that was in the mid thirties, so about thirty six this morning? 62 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.240 Oh wow, sheeesh Okay, but we posted to warm up. They're staying 63 00:04:28.240 --> 00:04:30.399 by the end of the week. We supposed to be back in the seventies. 64 00:04:30.120 --> 00:04:33.079 Oh good, okay, Okay, Well, I'm I I can remember 65 00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:38.319 some years past when we got we got to the festival, like first thing 66 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:42.319 in the morning. I used to ride with two guys that always have tables 67 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:45.399 inside the flea market area, so they'd get there earlier, like ride at 68 00:04:45.439 --> 00:04:47.759 sun up because they want to go browse on the flea market tables. And 69 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:51.519 it was it was chili. It wasn't thirties chili, but it was chilly. 70 00:04:51.600 --> 00:04:54.519 I was. I was like, man, I need a light jacket 71 00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:58.279 this morning, so it can get it can get a little bit cool up 72 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:00.759 there. So all right, man, well, once again, thank you 73 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:04.000 Michael for joining the show. Ham Kashi is always a fun event. What 74 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:08.040 what can we look forward to this year? How's it been going. How 75 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.560 do you guys think sales have been going as far as vendor tables, flea 76 00:05:11.639 --> 00:05:14.199 market tables, ticket sales and all that kind of good stuff. So what's 77 00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:18.480 the what's the latest so far? Everything's been good. Cells seem to be 78 00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:26.480 up really good this year. Our main commercial building has sold out. We 79 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:30.920 have a little bit of space left in our north building. Uh for the 80 00:05:30.959 --> 00:05:34.720 first time ever that I know of. Our swaps, which is our indoor 81 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:39.920 flea market tailgate area has been sold out for a week and a half now 82 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:46.560 wow, no tables available in there. So now we've noticed the influence of 83 00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.839 people buy inteligate spots since pretty much everything's sold out there, so that's been 84 00:05:49.879 --> 00:05:55.560 coming in lately, and ticket sales are up this year so far for pre 85 00:05:55.680 --> 00:06:00.839 sales. Okay, good, excellent, that's that's great news. Then, 86 00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.720 Okay, well, yeah, because I always there's a lot of people who 87 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.040 do tailgate and like swapfest type sales out in like the RV area, And 88 00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.720 along that road in the back there that one guy that's always on the corner 89 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:17.959 of the main road that goes between the commercial tables and he's and the road 90 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:21.319 that's perpendicular to it, he's right there, and he's always selling used Pelican 91 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.759 cases. I just remember that guy. He's always there. But but the 92 00:06:27.240 --> 00:06:30.519 the building on the far I don't know if that's I don't know if that's 93 00:06:30.600 --> 00:06:32.439 east or west. I don't know the far side over there where the swap 94 00:06:32.680 --> 00:06:39.120 table is. That's usually. Yeah, usually in yours past, there's been 95 00:06:39.160 --> 00:06:41.680 you know, you'll walk up and down the aisles and there's like I don't 96 00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:46.399 know, maybe four or five tables that are just kind of sparsely by themselves 97 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.160 and not filled. So that's great that you've sold all of those for this 98 00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:51.959 year, hopefully everybody shows up for it. Yes, that's that's the part 99 00:06:53.000 --> 00:06:57.000 you're not sure of until the vient. But yeah, yeah, good deal. 100 00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:02.839 Okay, what are we doing any sort of like, uh youth type 101 00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.040 robot wars, youth forums or anything like that this year. I do know 102 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:13.279 there's a couple of youth forms for the actual robot robot stuff that we've done 103 00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.600 in the past. It seems to be falling on the same weekend as a 104 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:21.040 championship for them the last couple of years, so we haven't been able to 105 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:28.279 get first Robotics in because of that. But for youth forums, I know 106 00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:33.319 the Boy Scouts is actually doing a merit badge for their communications during Hamcasion, 107 00:07:33.319 --> 00:07:36.319 which they've done it for that past three or four years. Uh So, 108 00:07:36.360 --> 00:07:41.199 there'll be about twenty of them walking around. They talk to certain vendors that 109 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:44.720 actually go over some of the stuff that they have to learn, and then 110 00:07:44.759 --> 00:07:48.399 they go to the Carol Perry has her forum there. She'll be there again. 111 00:07:49.000 --> 00:07:55.800 Uh so yeah, okay, good. Yeah. That's where Word Silver 112 00:07:55.879 --> 00:07:59.439 has a has a that yasmy Foundation whatever he calls it, is over there 113 00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:01.759 in that kind of that same area. I think, yes, Okay, 114 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:09.879 good good forty five says he needs to win a Hamcasion non merit scholarship. 115 00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:11.240 Yeah, good luck with that, buddy. You can afford yourrone ticket. 116 00:08:11.279 --> 00:08:18.879 Seriously, but so okay, So what I mean other than you know, 117 00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:20.879 just kind of like the obvious, well, let's see what Kenwood's gonna do 118 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:24.680 that kind of thing. So is there anything new that's happening this year that 119 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.879 that you guys haven't done in the past. For this year? I do 120 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:35.320 know first time in a long time. Actually, Gordon West will be back 121 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.519 this year. Okay, so he will actually be at the Arl Boost so 122 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:43.159 people can go see him there. It's been prior to it's probably been about 123 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.519 five six years since he's been there, so I know he's doing a large 124 00:08:46.559 --> 00:08:52.440 for him also for his stuff. We do have a lot of new vendors 125 00:08:52.440 --> 00:08:56.000 this year, reallything. Yeah, we probably have ten plus new vendors. 126 00:08:56.879 --> 00:09:00.919 So you can go to the Hamcasion website look under Vene listen see them. 127 00:09:01.159 --> 00:09:05.440 We have a lot of international vendors this year.

The 169 00:12:07.080 --> 00:12:11.679 other thing new for this year, we've actually have NWS Melbourne coming over. 170 00:12:11.799 --> 00:12:13.840 They're going to have a booth this year, and also for the first time 171 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:20.480 ever, they're actually going to do a skyworn class on Sunday. You're in 172 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.039 hanmcasion, you have to go to the form site and actually click on the 173 00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.279 link and register for it. Anybody can attend it, even if they're not 174 00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:35.559 out of NWS Melbourne's area. You can still get skyworn certified and by doing 175 00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:41.000 this also, the other big announcement is Sunday is a free day to attend 176 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:43.879 Hamcasion. There's no you do not have to purchase a ticket on Sunday. 177 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.480 Okay, okay, excellent, good, Thank you for sharing that link. 178 00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:54.440 Frank so okay, good, Yeah, you guys have done that in the 179 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:56.320 past, though, haven't you with the free Sunday thing. This is our 180 00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.399 first time, actually, is it. Okay, Dayton's done it past couple 181 00:13:00.440 --> 00:13:03.440 of years. Maybe that's what I'm thinking about. This is actually our first 182 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:07.759 time doing it for Sunday. Okay, good, good, that's excellent. 183 00:13:07.799 --> 00:13:13.519 So let's see, I'm trying to remember parking for himcash for those who may 184 00:13:13.559 --> 00:13:16.320 not have attended before. How is that handled? All parking is free, 185 00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:20.919 It is all on site. We have plenty of parking in different areas throughout 186 00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:26.360 all outside the fence line there. We do have security. We actually have 187 00:13:26.480 --> 00:13:31.440 Orlando Police Department that patrols the parking lots. We have parking attendants that actually 188 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.200 help people park. We have a large area for handicapped parking. Of course 189 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:39.960 it's never not enough, but we do have an area. So make sure 190 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.720 if you want a good parking spot, you get there early, of course, 191 00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.039 to get a good parking spot. Good, good, excellent, Okay, 192 00:13:48.559 --> 00:13:52.799 Well that's good. It sounds like it's coming together. Well so do 193 00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:54.960 they. I mean, if if Florida's like Texas, which I think it 194 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.159 is, who knows how many times. The weather's going to change between now 195 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:03.840 and then. But what are they predicting for for the forecast for that weekend. 196 00:14:05.120 --> 00:14:07.639 I haven't looked yet. It's kind of far out. You're over three 197 00:14:07.639 --> 00:14:11.919 weeks away right now. Yeah, so it's it's right on the edge of 198 00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:16.080 its starting to show like Monday Tuesday, but not actually deering handcasion. Okay, 199 00:14:16.399 --> 00:14:18.960 but like like you said in Florida, it could be raining in the 200 00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:22.960 morning, five minutes later it could be sunshine and then never looked like it 201 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:28.679 rained. That's right, Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yep, good are 202 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:33.600 you guys? You guys in the chat. If y'all have any questions, 203 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.960 please feel free to speak up. Frank is watching the chat. The other 204 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:41.320 thing we're doing this year also is Wednesday night we're doing the kit build with 205 00:14:41.360 --> 00:14:46.399 Joe Eisenberg again. Oh right, yeah, okay, So it will be 206 00:14:46.679 --> 00:14:52.679 six pm in the Swaps building. If anybody's coming to it, they will 207 00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:56.519 park actually out in the handicap area for that night, and we'll actually have 208 00:14:56.639 --> 00:15:00.200 golf cars running back and forth to the Swaps building. This year, you're 209 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:07.879 the kit will be a q RP dummy loads slash watt meter. Okay, 210 00:15:09.799 --> 00:15:13.519 so that we'll be doing, but you do have to register to do it. 211 00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.600 Space is limited. We do still have some spaces left. If you 212 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.720 go to ham Cash under affiliated events, you can actually sign up for that 213 00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.960 also, okay, affiliated events. There's an oxcom class it looks like, 214 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.720 correct, you have to preregister for that. That was during before hamd cation. 215 00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:35.360 Yeah, yeah, from the six to eighth. Okay, good? 216 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:39.120 Yeah, good. And then there's a kit building if never and and I've 217 00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:43.399 never been to Joe's one of Joe's kit building classes, but I know for 218 00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:46.080 a fact he does a very good job of it. So if you guys 219 00:15:46.080 --> 00:15:50.240 are interested in kit buildings, then that's definitely something to sign up. And 220 00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:54.240 everything's free. We'll have all the tools, the kits are free. Everything 221 00:15:54.360 --> 00:16:00.519 is actually donated by OARC and ham Case. So nice for and for the 222 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:06.000 build good okay, excellent, that's a cool thing that you guys do. 223 00:16:07.200 --> 00:16:10.240 Okay, good. Do you have any let me know if you have any 224 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:15.879 questions. From the chat, Frank, I got mostly people saying they passed 225 00:16:15.879 --> 00:16:22.200 their licenses. I haven't seen a question about ham Fest about itself. Maybe 226 00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:26.120 I just saw one. Is there disabled parking when the event's going on? 227 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.320 Correct? Just like I said. Actually, right outside the East ticket booth 228 00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:37.240 there's a large handicap parking area. We do have scooter rentals available if you 229 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:42.200 go to the website under attending hamdcas, scroll down a little bit. We 230 00:16:42.240 --> 00:16:47.559 do have a new scooter company this year called Yellow Scooter that will be doing 231 00:16:47.600 --> 00:16:49.240 it. But if you click the link and follow all the directions there, 232 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.600 you can prepay for the scooter all that and have it there for you for 233 00:16:53.759 --> 00:17:00.120 hamdcas. Okay, I got a question, go ahead, can I get 234 00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:06.119 a scooter? Frank, you will do uh, you will do mean things 235 00:17:06.119 --> 00:17:08.279 to that scooter. I don't think i'd give. I don't think i'd let 236 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.039 let you'd rint a scooter if if it was up to me. But I 237 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:19.119 don't know. Let's see somebody said, uh, Dakota Okay, so Dakota 238 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:23.240 Lithium is attending. That's another new company. I think. Actually John's in 239 00:17:23.279 --> 00:17:26.480 there posting some of our new I saw that, Yeah, I saw John 240 00:17:26.640 --> 00:17:32.799 John posted. Uh, let's see four or five laser works. I thought 241 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.480 they had been there before, but I might be thinking. I know they 242 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.480 go to him mentioned, but they thought they have been there, but they 243 00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:41.519 skipped a couple of years, so they're actually coming back this year. Ok 244 00:17:41.799 --> 00:17:47.400 okay, okay, that's fair. Number six is there on site testing this 245 00:17:47.519 --> 00:17:52.279 year? There is. We do testing on Friday and Saturday. All the 246 00:17:52.319 --> 00:17:57.920 information is on the website under event info under testing. You do have to 247 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:02.480 preregister for that one. And also it's all electronic. We do not use 248 00:18:02.519 --> 00:18:06.559 paper. Everything's done on tablets. Once you preregister, you'll get a four 249 00:18:06.599 --> 00:18:10.119 digit code. You'll go in, you'll show them your license, somebody will 250 00:18:10.119 --> 00:18:12.319 sit you down at the tablet. You'll punch in the four digit code. 251 00:18:12.359 --> 00:18:17.759 Ever, what you pre registered for that test will pop up once you're done. 252 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.279 You will find out instantly right then if you passed or failed really instantly, 253 00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:30.960 Okay, instantly and test results. Yep, that's great. I got 254 00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:36.079 a good one. TICCAD text says can we bring our own scooters? You 255 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:41.759 can't. Scooters are allowed on property. You're allowed to have segways and stuff 256 00:18:41.799 --> 00:18:45.160 like that. Those are not allowed in the buildings though. Only mobility type 257 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:52.240 of scooters are allowed in the buildings. Okay, okay. How to register 258 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:56.759 for OXCMG GREG If you go to the website, let me pull that back 259 00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.799 up again right here and click on event info at the top and then click 260 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:06.079 on affiliated events. It brings up this page and there's a PDF that you 261 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:10.920 can download that gives you more information about the oxcom thing. That's right there. 262 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:18.880 Can you briefly explain what is ox con to us? He just gets 263 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.079 see the smiles. I mean I can, Yeah, I can give you 264 00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:26.160 my version of it, but go ahead, Michael. Oxcom is actually a 265 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:36.880 DHS auxiliary communications course. It falls in line just not amateur radio, but 266 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:45.680 communications of any sort, commercial, amateur, CB, gmrs, pretty much 267 00:19:45.720 --> 00:19:49.559 any type of communication. And basically it's a course that teaches you about all 268 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:53.680 this stuff, how to use it and disasters, how to use it with 269 00:19:55.160 --> 00:20:03.160 emergency management and public safety. I'd like the course because it's always during amcation. 270 00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:06.400 Uh, but uh, I do want to take it out here. 271 00:20:06.440 --> 00:20:08.440 It's a very good course and you learn a lot of information in it. 272 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:15.160 I actually taken the Texas version or the the class here in Texas. It's 273 00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.440 a good course. It's it's not meant for everybody. If you're interested in 274 00:20:21.559 --> 00:20:27.759 musicy emergency communications and helping out with the city, it's also helps that you're 275 00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:32.759 already involved with the city or another group that is working with the city for 276 00:20:32.880 --> 00:20:34.799 that stuff, and this will be a good course, but it's not really 277 00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:40.599 a good course for the everyday man to go and take it and and and 278 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:45.079 try to put those things to practice because it really focuses on some filling out 279 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:51.640 the government forms and what those forms are and everything. Yeah, I've I've 280 00:20:51.640 --> 00:20:53.519 taken a couple of those courses. There's there's some of those that are required 281 00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:59.920 for like racs and skyworn depending on what your race organizations does. Those are 282 00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:03.240 THEMA courses, not the ox COM ones. Well, but they're I mean, 283 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:04.720 but they're all kind of similar, like they all kind of tie into 284 00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:10.119 one another, I think because I took a couple of they weren't OXCOM courses, 285 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:14.240 but they were coming a couple of those other FEMA courses for red Cross 286 00:21:14.400 --> 00:21:17.599 when I registered for Red Cross years ago, and I had to take a 287 00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:19.759 couple of those. But ox COM, the actual OXCOM, I have not 288 00:21:19.920 --> 00:21:25.480 done. But it kind of all ties in together with the right because actually 289 00:21:25.559 --> 00:21:29.599 there is some prerequisitition you have to do before you take OXCOM, which is 290 00:21:29.640 --> 00:21:34.799 actually some of those ICs courses you have to do. Those ICs courses help 291 00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:41.799 you integrate to a integrated command center situation, and OXCOMB helps to support that 292 00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:48.599 by doing the communications part. Yeah, and it will actually be a form 293 00:21:48.359 --> 00:21:53.880 deuring hamcs about Oxcomb and what OXCOMB is. So if anybody is wondering, 294 00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:00.119 you can't attend that form Deeringham CASS and they're explained everything about it. There 295 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:03.160 you go, don I SS one, two hundred, three hundred and four 296 00:22:03.240 --> 00:22:08.680 hundred. I know those numbers. Well, yeah, I've taken I know 297 00:22:08.720 --> 00:22:11.880 I've taken two or three of those. I don't think i've taken four hundred. 298 00:22:11.960 --> 00:22:15.720 But anyway, but I was looking at OXCOM a few years back, 299 00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:18.440 and I know, yeah that, like you said, Michael, there were 300 00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.279 prerequisites for for that, or at least the whatever course I was looking at 301 00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:26.599 at the time said they were so but good, Okay, well that's something. 302 00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:33.160 It's definitely emergency community auxiliary communications is OXCOM is abbreviation, so it's some 303 00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:40.720 sort of auxiliary communications for disasters and whatnot. So it's probably interesting. It 304 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:45.440 always sounded like it'd be interesting to me. So okay, there's Bill in 305 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.559 the chat. What's up Bill between in flight and Chicago. Got to get 306 00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:53.920 my radio fixed. Bill wants to come down to winter Field Day with us. 307 00:22:53.920 --> 00:22:56.559 He texted me earlier today, so we must see him next weekend. 308 00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:04.799 Which bill uh bill Ham radio tectonics Bill oh zero k zero wh WHW? 309 00:23:07.640 --> 00:23:11.480 So I still call my bed? Are we still open for more questions? 310 00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:18.200 Or yeah? Okay, yeah ten tick can tech. That's a tongue twister. 311 00:23:18.559 --> 00:23:22.640 Our generators and fire pits allowed or like solo stoves allowed in the RV 312 00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:29.880 area. For the RV area, generators can be ran during the day, 313 00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.440 but there is power hook up there for all the r vs. There's one 314 00:23:33.519 --> 00:23:37.000 ten all the way up to fifty up on all the poles, so really 315 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:42.960 you shot near the generator. Also fire pits as long as that's a true 316 00:23:44.039 --> 00:23:48.039 fire pit. Yes, you are not allowed to have an open fire as 317 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.119 of build a fire on the ground of course, but yeah, and then 318 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:57.000 grills and stuff like that are allowed to be used. Yes, they used 319 00:23:57.039 --> 00:24:02.559 it. We growed some stuff last year. We didn't, but Matt did, 320 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:06.279 so somebody did. I did that, brought it, I grilled it. 321 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.480 Oh well. We do have a lot of RV spaces also, so 322 00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:15.039 you can actually bring your RV stay on property and walk one hundred feet to 323 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:19.039 the front door handcasion and that's not filled up yet. It is not We 324 00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:25.279 are getting up there in numbers. We are looking for maybe a record year 325 00:24:25.279 --> 00:24:29.920 for r v's this year. During our national convention back in twenty sixteen, 326 00:24:30.400 --> 00:24:34.519 we did have around two hundred and thirty RVs on property. We're probably about 327 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:38.920 two fifteen as of right now. Oh wow, so it's gonna be a 328 00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.559 lot more than the last few years. He was going to see a lot 329 00:24:41.559 --> 00:24:47.599 of RV's this year and do all. There's there's some like boon docking for 330 00:24:47.720 --> 00:24:52.519 RVs in the back. If I'm not mistaken, how many hookup spots are 331 00:24:52.559 --> 00:24:56.799 there. There's enough hookups for everybody. They've actually added a lot of new 332 00:24:56.799 --> 00:25:02.680 hookups out there this year. If anybody remembers where the old pavilion was that 333 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:06.240 they tore down several years ago and built the new one that the forms are 334 00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:10.680 in now that area by the lake, they actually just put all kind of 335 00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:14.880 fifty hookups out there also, so we can host even more RVs out there 336 00:25:14.880 --> 00:25:19.240 now. Good, Okay, that's excellent, Okay, Okay, So Frank, 337 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:22.000 yeah, Frank is posting the RV information in the chat right now. 338 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:26.359 Gray Man Potas says, did you not tell Frank that he's going to be 339 00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.400 sleeping in the laundering room for winterfield days since he skipped a Friday stream. 340 00:25:30.559 --> 00:25:33.839 Actually, I did tell him that. He just keeps saying he keeps ignoring 341 00:25:33.839 --> 00:25:37.079 me when I'm saying that because that room's mine, I only will give it 342 00:25:37.160 --> 00:25:41.359 up to couples. I don't know. I know, we'll see. Tents 343 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:48.240 are allowed in the RV area. No, Unfortunately, the City of Orlando 344 00:25:48.400 --> 00:25:52.200 ordinances you're not allowed to have tents in the city of Orlando. Now, 345 00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.519 there's ways around it. If you have a tent in the back of a 346 00:25:56.680 --> 00:26:00.960 vehicle. There's a lot of people that bring pick up trucks that have the 347 00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.160 tit built onto it. That's perfectly legal. The tit just cannot touch the 348 00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:10.039 ground. There's a gentleman that actually brings a motorcycle that has a tit hook 349 00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:14.559 up that goes on the side of the motorcycle somehow and it sleeps in it. 350 00:26:14.559 --> 00:26:17.480 It has like a little fold out almost like a sidecar type of thing 351 00:26:17.519 --> 00:26:22.440 that like has legs that fold out. It's pretty neat. That sounds fun. 352 00:26:22.559 --> 00:26:25.759 Okay, that sounds fun. I haven't seen that before. I may 353 00:26:25.759 --> 00:26:27.160 have to go take some pictures of that. Guy is there this year? 354 00:26:29.960 --> 00:26:36.000 Good? Okay? Uh okay, So Brian, if someone can't make it 355 00:26:36.000 --> 00:26:37.880 physically, does anyone stream live from there? I plan to do live streams. 356 00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:42.640 I did live streams last year. Josh did some. I think I 357 00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:48.440 think almost a lot of y'all guys did live streams at some point. Yeah, 358 00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:51.440 there's no live stream of the whole event, like somebody walking around the 359 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:56.359 whole time live streaming, but I would probably say follow a lot of the 360 00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:02.799 YouTubers and you will see different stuff bout Hamdcation. I will definitely be doing 361 00:27:02.799 --> 00:27:06.720 some live streams, both inside and outside. So so, yeah, that 362 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:11.240 worked out well last year. Those are usually pretty well received. And having 363 00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:17.160 kind of being able to go through and like let people at home think almost 364 00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:21.359 be like they're there, so let them kind of watch it from that viewpoint 365 00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:26.440 is kind of fun. Good okay. Anything else. The other thing that 366 00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:30.960 we are bringing back this year, we had it several years ago before COVID, 367 00:27:32.079 --> 00:27:36.279 but this year we'll actually bringing back the ham Cation Information Station, which 368 00:27:36.319 --> 00:27:40.720 will be six' ten am radio, So if you actually tune your dial 369 00:27:40.759 --> 00:27:45.559 to six ten am on your AMFM radio, we will be broadcast in pre 370 00:27:45.559 --> 00:27:52.480 recorded messages about handcation, about parking, anything that comes up, and let's 371 00:27:52.480 --> 00:27:55.359 say, if a parking lot is full or something, we can announce it 372 00:27:55.400 --> 00:27:59.519 on there. Any traffic issues in the area we can put out on there. 373 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:03.559 So that's one thing we will have back this year.

See that's how I earned that room. I got. Jim here 390 00:29:17.240 --> 00:29:21.720 says, do you need to bring cast a person's a ticket at the entrance? 391 00:29:22.640 --> 00:29:26.599 Uh no, We take all major credit cards at the entrances, both 392 00:29:26.640 --> 00:29:30.160 ticket boosts on the South Gate and the Eastgate, so you do not need 393 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:36.240 cash.

I'm glad to see it coming together. So 398 00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:56.079 I'm sure it was a lot of work on the back end, but it 399 00:29:56.160 --> 00:30:03.400 looks like everything's been successful so far. Are so hopefully the everything weather wise 400 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:07.000 and travel wise for people can uh you know what am I trying to say? 401 00:30:07.519 --> 00:30:11.680 Uh works with us, doesn't doesn't try to stop us from getting out 402 00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:15.839 there and whatnot. So hopefully there's no ice on the runway in Texas that 403 00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:18.359 keeps our plane from getting their on time. But that kind of thing. 404 00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:22.039 You gotta worry about that stuff sometimes. Yeah, I mean it can be 405 00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.319 beautiful down here, and that happened several years ago where we had like several 406 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:30.400 vendors not be able to make it. People's product didn't make it because it 407 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:36.440 was stuck somewhere and snowstorms. So it happens. Just because it's so nice 408 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:40.359 here, it doesn't mean it's nice all over the country. Right, was 409 00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.480 Orlando the the ham cation that the aa r L lost all their bags for. 410 00:30:45.359 --> 00:30:49.359 Yes, that's that's what I talked about, where they had a snowstorm 411 00:30:49.440 --> 00:30:53.119 and none of their product. Oh man, right, yeah, because they 412 00:30:53.119 --> 00:30:56.119 were coming from Connecticut. Yeah, and it was really bad weather up there. 413 00:30:56.160 --> 00:31:00.400 That's right. They got everything got storm when they all post a ship 414 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:04.279 and it was all delayed by days. So it actually showed up after a 415 00:31:04.279 --> 00:31:11.000 handcasion was over with. Wow, hopefully were hopefully there was someone there to 416 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:14.400 claim it and say return to Cinder on it. There was, It was 417 00:31:14.440 --> 00:31:17.720 already pre scheduled for that person. They knew they weren't going to make it. 418 00:31:17.839 --> 00:31:23.839 But yeah, yeah, wow crazy. Yeah, somebody asked about the 419 00:31:23.839 --> 00:31:30.400 the AM radio station. It is six' ten am. And then let's 420 00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.720 see what else.

Yeah 424 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.440 yeah, yeah, first time though, go ahead. The other thing I 425 00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.160 forgot to mention, we do have several sponsors again this year. Gigaparts is 426 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:05.079 a platinum sponsor. Uh. They've donated a lot of prizes.

So 432 00:32:28.599 --> 00:32:30.839 they've been been a sponsor over there before. So good, good, good. 433 00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:37.200 I got a good question here from John Knox. Are pets allowed on 434 00:32:37.519 --> 00:32:43.559 on the grounds? Uh? Pets are allowed on the grounds uh anywhere outside 435 00:32:44.119 --> 00:32:50.920 Uh for inside the building only service animals are allowed but outside in the r 436 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:54.079 VS, the r V area, any pets are allowed. Nice, Maybe 437 00:32:54.079 --> 00:33:00.799 not any pets, but the reason. Yeah. Yeah, I like this 438 00:33:00.920 --> 00:33:07.559 question by Bob here. This is a they must know topic.

So there is some rumors of 443 00:33:28.119 --> 00:33:32.400 some port Chops maybe coming for one vendor. I do know. They're working 444 00:33:32.440 --> 00:33:37.480 on last year a hit there. Apparently they did very well. They had 445 00:33:37.880 --> 00:33:43.039 ice cream ice cream truck there or ice cream vendor. It did add very 446 00:33:43.079 --> 00:33:45.599 well to the point that they were selling out. So they're looking at maybe 447 00:33:45.680 --> 00:33:50.559 having two of those this year.

I enjoy attending myself, and I know that I think our usual 494 00:37:15.159 --> 00:37:19.360 cast of characters on on the YouTube's is going to be attending this year, 495 00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:22.320 and maybe a couple of new people who haven't been there yet I've been there 496 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:27.679 before might be joining them. I seen some new uh vendor or media badge 497 00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:31.320 requests come in from a couple of YouTubers I've never seen before, Kay or 498 00:37:31.840 --> 00:37:36.000 hasn't been the hamp casion anyway, I've seen that. Yeah, YouTube channels, 499 00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.880 but I haven't seen them my handcasion, so uh, I do know 500 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.559 there's a lot of them, and there's there's actually every year it seems more 501 00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:46.199 and more YouTubers or actually requested media badges which is good. So it keeps 502 00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:51.760 the amateur radio out there in the world. Yeah, true, that that 503 00:37:51.760 --> 00:37:53.280 that made me fake. Earlier when you were talking that people were talking about 504 00:37:53.280 --> 00:37:58.280 tickets, I'm like, I can't remember if I ever requested that. I 505 00:37:58.320 --> 00:38:00.719 don't know. Can you tell me if I'm on your list or not. 506 00:38:00.840 --> 00:38:04.440 I'd like to be on the list. If I'm not, I'm not one 507 00:38:04.480 --> 00:38:07.079 hundred percent sure. I get a copy of it, but I don't keep 508 00:38:07.079 --> 00:38:09.000 a track of it. Actually, my media guy does it, the ones 509 00:38:09.039 --> 00:38:14.719 that makes the badges. Okay, so uh, just if you haven't, 510 00:38:14.760 --> 00:38:16.920 just go on the website request one. If it's a dupe, it's fine, 511 00:38:17.360 --> 00:38:21.440 you know you have it, Okay. Yeah, I was looking. 512 00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:23.760 I mean a lot that's not under tickets that I see, so I didn't 513 00:38:23.760 --> 00:38:30.719 know where where that was. It's actually under actually I think it is under 514 00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:37.480 tickets. Is it ticket ticket? Ticket purchased by male purchase online? I'm 515 00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:40.519 not seeing it, that's yeah. That's one reason that I was like, 516 00:38:40.599 --> 00:38:45.960 well, I can't remember. Some of you guys do it differently than others. 517 00:38:45.000 --> 00:38:47.559 I think on him casion, it's on I'm on him mentioned it's on 518 00:38:47.599 --> 00:38:53.079 the website, but for Okay. Actually I think it might be under contact 519 00:38:53.159 --> 00:38:58.280 us. Yeah, it's under the contact us page. Yeah, I found 520 00:38:58.280 --> 00:38:59.880 it. I was going to send it to you, but there it is. 521 00:39:00.000 --> 00:39:01.679 Okay, there it is. Yeah, media Okay, I'll send it 522 00:39:01.719 --> 00:39:05.000 in because I don't remember if I did or not, honestly, so I'll 523 00:39:05.039 --> 00:39:07.960 send in a media pass. Yeah, I see it, thanks, Frank. 524 00:39:07.320 --> 00:39:10.199 Good. Yeah, I definitely want to get that rolling, so because 525 00:39:10.199 --> 00:39:14.440 I know that on Huntsville, we usually just email Mark and he puts us 526 00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:17.719 on a list. So, but that's a thing, all right, So 527 00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:22.039 you guys do not go out to ham Kashan and request a media pass if 528 00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:25.239 you don't have an actual media account, because we do. Actually, we 529 00:39:25.599 --> 00:39:30.440 do actually check YouTube channels make sure they are legit. Yeah, so we 530 00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:35.519 request When you do it, it goes to a form that requests your channel 531 00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:37.599 name, your link to it, all that. So we we do, 532 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:43.559 uh, we do check on things before we just issue them. That's good. 533 00:39:43.639 --> 00:39:46.039 So last year, I think it was Hamvention last year, Carlos was 534 00:39:46.039 --> 00:39:49.760 on the stream and asking, oh, where do I get a media pass? 535 00:39:49.840 --> 00:39:51.599 We started talking about it in a live stream, and then when I 536 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:54.000 got to him vention, a couple weeks later, somebody came or we went 537 00:39:54.039 --> 00:39:57.599 to get our passes, and they asked me at the media booth the like, 538 00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.239 did you tell everyone in your livestream to go get a media Yeah? 539 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:02.280 So I'm like, no, I told Carlos, but we had three hundred 540 00:40:02.280 --> 00:40:07.559 people listening to us, so I can't help what other people do, like, 541 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:10.679 don't go, don't go request a media pass if unless you have a 542 00:40:10.719 --> 00:40:16.039 legit channel. So yeah, Mike's got one. So yeah, if Mike 543 00:40:16.079 --> 00:40:21.079 can get one, pretty much anybody else can. So yeah, well they 544 00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:24.480 probably looked at his current YouTube name ham Radio two radio. They didn't look 545 00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:31.760 at k radio stuff. Yeah yeah, yeah, no kidding. So okay, 546 00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:37.360 I'm going to search and see if I have that or not media pass 547 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.280 for Ham Kashon twenty twenty three, twenty twenty two. Apparently I haven't done 548 00:40:40.280 --> 00:40:44.400 it yet. I'll go to good do that tonight. I forget, man. 549 00:40:44.840 --> 00:40:46.719 I went to a small local ham fest here yesterday and I went in 550 00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:50.000 in there and I bought a ticket, and I'm like, you know what, 551 00:40:50.079 --> 00:40:51.920 I think, I'm just gonna buy a ticket.

I guess right, 563 00:41:34.199 --> 00:41:39.119 Oh good, okay, but yeah, okay, just looking at the chat 564 00:41:39.159 --> 00:41:45.599 here, guys, h is it true that if Antenna's purchased at ham KSh 565 00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:49.880 give you an extra five dB?

I need to reach out to him. I don't know. We 584 00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:09.039 were uh yeah, we were told the Why Car Why Cars guys are not 585 00:43:09.079 --> 00:43:12.199 going to be in the r VSPA.

Yes, I'm coming down Thursday. 643 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:19.559 I'm gonna be leaving the DFW area around three. I'm hoping to get 644 00:47:19.559 --> 00:47:23.000 out of the Dallas area before that traffic gets too too bad, and I'm 645 00:47:23.039 --> 00:47:30.320 predicting to be there around eight to nine in the evening.

I think we're gonna do the NASA 658 00:48:23.119 --> 00:48:28.599 tour on Friday. I haven't, but you guys are confusing me with all 659 00:48:28.639 --> 00:48:30.440 the tickets to this and tickets to that, and purchased this ticket here and 660 00:48:30.480 --> 00:48:34.519 there for all the different things, and I'm like, I don't know what 661 00:48:34.559 --> 00:48:38.719 I need to buy. So I may or may not buy a ticket just 662 00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:43.119 when we get there or something. I don't know, but but I'm not 663 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:45.800 And that that one that was like two hundred dollars, I don't know if 664 00:48:45.800 --> 00:48:47.880 I'm interested in them, and that one or I would like to do the 665 00:48:47.880 --> 00:48:52.519 two hundred private tour. Yeah, but no, No, the one, 666 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:57.800 the one that we're eventually looking at is I think only forty dollars. That 667 00:48:57.920 --> 00:49:01.079 includes general mission and the tour, so you don't need to buy both. 668 00:49:01.199 --> 00:49:06.639 And they make it known this this ticket does include general mission. Also, 669 00:49:07.360 --> 00:49:10.239 we're just trying to get the right time, just to give us time to 670 00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:15.320 do things. But then, like like you said, man, uh, 671 00:49:15.320 --> 00:49:20.199 starting with our field day Saturday, we'll be at the park and we're gonna 672 00:49:20.199 --> 00:49:22.400 have a whole pavilion to ourselves. You got the pavilion. I'm shaking my 673 00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:27.280 head. Yes, you called about the pavilion already. M hm, yes, 674 00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:31.159 sweet, we got that in the works. Then, uh, setting 675 00:49:31.199 --> 00:49:36.559 up the radios we had, We're gonna planning on four ISH radios, so 676 00:49:36.639 --> 00:49:42.960 we'll be a four station, uh, running majority side band because digital is 677 00:49:43.000 --> 00:49:47.519 no FT eight digital. Mike said he might try some just j S E 678 00:49:47.679 --> 00:49:52.599 call that that is allowed? It is, Yes, that's correct, it 679 00:49:52.639 --> 00:49:59.239 is allowed. M m hmm. What what is ship Shipley? So that's 680 00:49:59.280 --> 00:50:04.440 just the regular ship donuts. I love shipping the donuts. Yeah, I'm 681 00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:09.159 a donut fiend. Uh huh we have Shipley Donuts and oh okay, yeah, 682 00:50:09.199 --> 00:50:13.239 no Bob, what's going on with Bob? Is he going to be 683 00:50:13.239 --> 00:50:15.760 in Orlando? Oh, I'm sure he'll be in Orlando. I haven't talked 684 00:50:15.760 --> 00:50:20.360 to Bob. I mean I talked to him two or three four times a 685 00:50:20.360 --> 00:50:23.119 week, but usually just about shipping our Finder stuff. I haven't spoke to 686 00:50:23.199 --> 00:50:30.079 him about field Day or about Orlando. I'm sure he'll be in Orlando. 687 00:50:30.239 --> 00:50:32.480 I'm sure. Yeah, Yeah, I got a text from Chris at Buddy 688 00:50:32.480 --> 00:50:37.079 Pol yesterday. He'll be in Orlando. Of course he always, he always 689 00:50:37.119 --> 00:50:42.079 makes Orlando. So yeah, but yeah, I'm sure Bob will be in 690 00:50:42.239 --> 00:50:45.559 in Orlando. All right, So if you're in Orlando and you want to 691 00:50:45.599 --> 00:50:52.239 meet Bob, just go and camp out at any waffle House and you're guaranteed 692 00:50:52.239 --> 00:50:58.639 to see him once. That's true, you will. He will hit waffle 693 00:50:58.679 --> 00:51:02.000 house once a day. We did, did we not do? We went 694 00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:07.280 to do a PODA in Orlando last year. Wo want Wo fifteen seventeen says 695 00:51:07.320 --> 00:51:10.840 I may try to poda on the way down to Orlando, didn't we? 696 00:51:12.039 --> 00:51:14.199 I know we went to the park. I can't remember if I sat down 697 00:51:14.199 --> 00:51:16.840 and activated or not, but I think I did. I don't remember that 698 00:51:17.280 --> 00:51:21.800 land. We never doing that in Dayton. We did it in Dayton, 699 00:51:21.840 --> 00:51:25.559 but we did it in Orlando. Also, we rode out there with uh 700 00:51:27.480 --> 00:51:30.599 guy. I can't remember that guy's name now Ken, Ken, remember his 701 00:51:30.679 --> 00:51:35.480 name right now? But uh yeah, we rode out there with him. 702 00:51:35.480 --> 00:51:37.840 He had a rental car and it was you and me and t O and 703 00:51:40.280 --> 00:51:44.880 that guy. Again, I don't think I've seen him since Orlando last year, 704 00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:47.800 so I can't remember his name. But we rode out there to a 705 00:51:47.880 --> 00:51:51.639 park and there were several guys out there activating, and I'm pretty sure I 706 00:51:51.679 --> 00:51:54.679 sat down and activated that park, but I can't remember for sure. I 707 00:51:54.719 --> 00:52:00.639 may or may not have. We'll see. But while if you want to 708 00:52:00.639 --> 00:52:05.440 see Bob go off an arrow rant, just remind him waffle House sells Paddy 709 00:52:05.519 --> 00:52:09.239 Melts, not burgers. That's true, and he will go on so right 710 00:52:09.320 --> 00:52:14.159 saying, you know, waffle House has the best burger in the nation. 711 00:52:15.639 --> 00:52:17.599 Yeah, Bob's a strange duck. He's from New York. So we try 712 00:52:17.599 --> 00:52:21.840 to cut him some slack when we when we when we have to. But 713 00:52:22.039 --> 00:52:25.119 yeah, so you guys, mark down, your mark down your calendars. 714 00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:30.400 For two weeks from tonight, I'm gonna have the YouTubers on uh this channel 715 00:52:30.480 --> 00:52:35.119 for the live stream. We're gonna talk about plans for himcash and and we're 716 00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:37.840 gonna probably just kind of go from there and uh yeah, Joey YouTubers meet 717 00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:40.719 up. We haven't really planned anything official yet, but we'll probably talk about 718 00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:45.159 it between now and then and just kind of announce it that night on this 719 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:49.719 live stream two weeks from now, so we'll probably I'm thinking we'll probably do 720 00:52:49.800 --> 00:52:54.360 Friday night. But but yeah, we'll see. I don't know. We 721 00:52:54.400 --> 00:52:58.920 don't have anything. We don't have anything set up yet, but we probably 722 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:04.039 will. Oh so, yeah, there's no back talking yet on it, 723 00:53:04.079 --> 00:53:08.480 but I know there it will happen, right, Yeah, yeah, yep, 724 00:53:08.880 --> 00:53:16.320 good, Okay.

I should know. 727 00:53:31.679 --> 00:53:34.880 I feel like I should know what that cigar is, but I don't. 728 00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:38.400 I probably would. I probably look at that. Excuse me, I 729 00:53:38.440 --> 00:53:44.679 don't think I had that one. It's gonna be awesome, man, I'm 730 00:53:44.679 --> 00:53:47.360 gonna smoke cigars. It's gonna be amazing. Oh yeah, we'll smoke a 731 00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:52.599 bunch of cigars that weekend. All right, guys, do you have anything 732 00:53:52.639 --> 00:53:54.239 else? Yeah? Go ahead, I got something from my channel, can 733 00:53:54.280 --> 00:54:02.159 I? James and I have done a collaboration together and we are came up 734 00:54:02.239 --> 00:54:07.119 with oh wait, is that the I did copy the link? There's a 735 00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:12.440 character missing. We came up with the next version of the all you gotta 736 00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:17.679 have mousepad slash potapad. This is the we're calling it the tank pad, 737 00:54:19.039 --> 00:54:22.239 and it's the size of a mouse pad and it has all the us BAND 738 00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:27.639 plans on it and it is awesome. I dropped the link in the chat 739 00:54:27.760 --> 00:54:30.360 and I forgot to copy it, and we're gonna do it one more time. 740 00:54:31.159 --> 00:54:36.119 It's pretty cool, man, It's awesome. It has all the us 741 00:54:36.199 --> 00:54:38.840 BAND plans, all the information you need to know, and it's the perfect 742 00:54:38.880 --> 00:54:44.960 size to slide into your laptop sleeve and bring around with you on the activation. 743 00:54:45.519 --> 00:54:49.920 I really like those desk pads that Mike has and he shows off all 744 00:54:49.960 --> 00:54:52.039 the time, but he got to rolled up and it kind of awkward. 745 00:54:52.119 --> 00:54:57.159 Sometimes it stuff that in your pot to pack. So this is a great 746 00:54:57.199 --> 00:55:01.079 mouse pad to use your mouse on and get all your information. Yes, 747 00:55:01.440 --> 00:55:07.039 yeah, so I have. I have James's quirky QRP, his original one, 748 00:55:07.119 --> 00:55:09.400 and that's what I use. It's in my Poto pac my Explorer backpack. 749 00:55:09.599 --> 00:55:13.960 That's what I put underneath my uh my radio when I'm out there. 750 00:55:14.000 --> 00:55:19.519 But I think he's gonna do the clipboard for me. So I think he's 751 00:55:19.519 --> 00:55:22.639 gonna do a clipboard for me. So I saw that mouse pad of yours 752 00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:24.239 and I'm like, hey, that's a good idea because I was I was 753 00:55:24.280 --> 00:55:28.519 thinking about a pad of my own. Actually I talk I think I talked 754 00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:30.079 to Gigabarts about that. So I asked James. I was like, what 755 00:55:30.119 --> 00:55:34.840 do you got that's not a pad because it's you know, everybody's doing pads. 756 00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:36.760 And he's like, how about a clipboard. I'm like, oh, 757 00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:38.400 that's cool, and he says the clipboards have made the USA. He goes, 758 00:55:38.400 --> 00:55:40.199 so you'll like that, and I'm like, that is true. I 759 00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:44.679 will like that. So yeah, more to come on that. But but 760 00:55:44.760 --> 00:55:47.119 yeah, quirky QRP. Check out his Etsy store. That's where Frank just 761 00:55:47.159 --> 00:55:50.960 listed there. He's got a lot of other stuff besides just oh yeah he 762 00:55:51.039 --> 00:55:54.920 got great. He has a clock that has all the old radio information on 763 00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:59.639 it. Yeah. Then all his mouse pads. He has a light up 764 00:55:59.679 --> 00:56:01.880 mouse had I got one.

That he sent me one because 770 00:56:30.559 --> 00:56:32.719 I'd mentioned it on the stream one time because I got his email about it. 771 00:56:32.760 --> 00:56:35.280 I was like, oh, I should order that, and I never 772 00:56:35.280 --> 00:56:37.760 did order it, but he just sent me one.
