The Ham Radio two point zero audio podcast Rip. Thank you for downloading and
listening to this podcast. So basically what I do is I take all the
audio clips out of my videos and upload them to spreaker, and then from
there they're spread out to iTunes and SoundCloud and now Amazon Audible as well.
But I want to welcome you and thank you for joining the audio section of
this series on Ham Radio. I hope you enjoy it, and I would
appreciate you leaving us a comment or a review on whatever podcast service you're listening
from. Thank you. In seventy three, I hope you enjoy it.
I mentioned, well, that's that song you're singing yesterday, Old Rip,
deep River. My home is over Jordan. All right, Mike, game
down a little probably, how do you do that? Jesus cheesus. There
we go. Nope, setting transmitter, Mike's shaking the camera. Yeah we're
live, so you can go ahead and change yeah settings, that's where I
thought it was minus two. We'll go a couple of dB down, okay,
why not one two? One two? Okay? Well you left mine
a little bits okay, yeah, all right, um, let us know
how we sound. I probably sound amazing because I have this wonderful new Lavelier
microphone. I know. Well, these sound amazing by themselves. They're a
little noisy. Five nine, Shane says Shane, are you coming out?
Yeah, Shane, Yeah, Shane, are you coming out? I brought
one of the cigars you sent me just so I can smoke it with you.
Ah, yes, that Dumas cigar or whatever. Do are we backwards
in the camera? H see we're backwards in this but well yeah, but
it's probably because it's front facing cameras, right exactly. But sometimes you sometimes
you gotta know, sometimes this is backwards day. Charlie's at the airport.
Good deal. Thank you for sharing the link. Steve. Yeah, I
did a I set up a live stream this morning, and I told it
on the app. I did it on my laptop, and I told it
on the app that I was going to do it mobile. But when I
went to the mobile app to choose that live stream, it said it wasn't
available. So ah, but wait, at some point I was live oh
am, I yeah, what do you know? So the All Star node
died pretty much right when we got here. Good, okay, pretty much
right when we got here. We had it all in the truck all day
the last two days, and it pretty much died when we got to boot
up. I don't know why. So I texted Kyle this morning. He's
my all star Admin Elmer. He is an all star. He is an
all star. Kyle is an all star. He really is. And and
the theory is that the the SD card went bad. That they tend to
do that sometimes if you plug him up and down a lot. And I
have another SD card with me, but I don't have an Ethernet cable with
me, so I can't access the Raspberry Pie. So Kyle's bringing me an
Ethernet cable. We're going to check it out tonight. Wait a minute,
we are you putting just Rasbian on it? Uh? No, him vo
ip is is its own. It's got it's its own script that has him.
He built into rasbian. Okay. So yeah, because when you first
boot up Rasbian, it should just like if it doesn't see an Internet after
a while, it should just broadcast its own up addressed yah be able to
see his WiFi that way. Yeah, it's it's h Yeah, it doesn't
do that. Um, it doesn't connect to Wi Fi. It doesn't broadcast
in an accident, give me talking computers. So it's um yeah, probably
going it's probably um, but just the SD cards just because the powers of
power to the Raspberry Pie. Yeah, but nothing else seems like it's working.
I was messing with. I had one Raspberry Pie dedicated to um that
emulation station so you can play like old video games. Yeah, dude,
I had an itch and to play Super Mario World like a week ago.
Yeah. So I'm going through like all my SD cards. I'm like,
I know it's on here somewhere somewhere, couldn't find because I had one that
was just like I had all the games on it and everything. Couldn't find
it. So I'm going through all my SD cards and like nothing was working.
So I had to remember how to put games on it, and it
still wouldn't work. So I didn't get to play games. Ah'll kind of
because the Super Mario World's freaking awesome. Yep, yep, I agree,
I agree. What can you do? Yeah, so it's been kind of
a morning of disappointments. Now, the weather is fantastic. I can't complain
about the weather. A little cold, yeah, Mike, think Mike,
things is a little cold. It's chilly. I wouldn't call it cold,
but the All Star Node I couldn't get it to work when we got here
last night. The battery it was plugged into died fine, so we plugged
into another battery, couldn't get to boot back up. So I guess it's
just one twoson when it was plugged in a Little Geek when we were driving,
right, but not after we Yeah, not after we got here,
So I unplugged it from Little Geek when we're moving stuff. So it's probably
my fault. Okay, it got shot unplugging it and replugging it. And
they say that, They say if you don't shut it down properly, which
nobody does that because you'd have to log into it every time. How are
you going to do that? Yeah, you'd have to. You'd have to
ssh into the thing each time you want to shut it down and go in
and send it at a command. Nobody got time. Nobody got time for
that. So now this is another reason I want to get a Sherry note
installed permanently in the truck so it's there all the time. I was pretty
sweet being able to drive down the street and yeah, like it's it's analog
so it sounds good, right, I mean it's still over the internet.
Yeah, like DMR or if you know any of the other ones. But
it's sound like I was using my five dollar boath. No. Yeah,
it works with a five dollar boat that's a great thing about All Stars.
Yeah, it just works with any radio. Yeah, so it was nice.
So we we talked on All Star the whole way here. Talked to
a bunch of you guys in All Star. And there's a bunch of people
connected all Star right now, and I'm actually connected. I disconnected it now,
but I got the DV switch program connected compliments of November eight. Papa
Charlie. He's got his system connected in So if you go to hand Radio
two dot com forward slash all Star, that pulls up my Superman page and
there's like twenty twenty five people on there right now. And when we end
this stream, I will be back on there. I'm not on there right
now because I'm using the phone to stream instead, but uh yeah, yeah,
that's where that is. And so I get So we get here.
Last night, we set up camp and everything. We kind of pull everything
out and unpack all our crap. This morning, I get up and I
put the starlinks them all together. There's no starlink Zenia. There's no Starley
coverage in Zenia at all. You pull up the nap and it's like it's
like there's a little circle of coverage to the to like the northeast of Zenia.
Zenia is here, and Dayton's like I think over here and Dayton's covered,
but Zenia is not covered, and I'm like, crap. So no
starlink at all. So like, as far as travels go, we're when
when you and I have been camping, Yes, I think we're owing three
now for the starlink. H it doesn't work here. It didn't work at
Montisano. It doesn't work there. It didn't work at the Grand Canyon.
Both Montisano and the Grand Canyon. It didn't work because of the trees.
But yes, that's correct. Yeah, yes, I don't care what the
reason is. It didn't work. Yeah, here we got we got blue
skies and Barfie Burgers here and it's still at working. So, m what
can you do? But so I finally updated my uh my my cell phone
plan, so I now have unlimited data. I was on this really really
old grandfather clause. So I'm probably gonna stream something. Uh either I might
stream tomorrow just here if people are hanging out. Um no, and I'm
thinking i'll maybe i'll stream like the outfield the flea market on Friday. I
don't know, but I'm paying for it, so I might as well do
something. Last year I streamed. Um. I think I did the indoor
stuff on Friday and the flea market on Saturday, and that worked out well,
so I'll probably do that again. I'll just pick a time, uh
that doesn't conflict with anybody else. This is a Shane. This is a
Padrone nineteen sixty four anniversary, compliments of Dave from VHQ hex Beam, who
already met. He's already in there with his x beam set up. So
yeah, you gotta go introduce me. Yeah, well, yeah, you
don't want to know what I'm spoken. Yeah, I'm trying to get rid
of these. Actually this is this is the Drewis States Factory smoke. These
are some cheaper ones I got. I got a bunch of nice cigars with
me, but um, this is the sun grown uh one. I like
the Maduro, I don't like this sun grown, so I'm smoking it just
to get rid of it, but it's kind a good drive mean, it's
not bad. I just I don't like this kind of rapper I like.
I like the Maduro's and the more full bodied ones. How is the weather
there to transmit? So that's a great question. I'm glad you asked that
I have. I brought my eight one eight with me and I set up
and antenna last night. I have. You can see the the green hole
behind right here, that's my MFJ forty three foot mask. I've got the
pack tenna hooked up to it right now. I had it. I had
the K six r K n fed hooked up to it earlier. Solid s
nine noise floor on receive. I'm looking actually uh nine plus right, there's
a there's a power, there's a telephone power right there. There's a transformer
right there. So yeah, that probly doesn't help. But there's gonna this
place is gonna be literal with RVs by the time Friday gets here. So
there's gonna be all kinds of RFI here. It's gonna be terrible. I
did make one contact on sideband last night to a med out in California.
He was doing a poda and you were on five watts, yeah, five
watts with the eight one eight. I brought my amplifier, my little MXP
fifty amplifier, but I don't have an extra connector to hook the coax up
to it. So I've got I've got that I just brought. I didn't
get it because you said you said that there the antenna was only handled twenty
wats. Well that well, I have to pack ten up now so we
can. But regardless, there's an S nine noise floor, so we can't
hear anybody. I'm on ft eight and even ft eight from every band twenty
seventeen, fifteen, twelve and ten like I'm sitting on twenty that and there's
still there's not a lot of activities, so I don't know if there's a
solar flare or what. But I don't know, you know, I really
don't care. Sitting at the Green County Fairgrounds. The weather out of here
is beautiful. It's it's if it stays like this through the weekend, we're
going to be golden. It's not going to stay like this through the weekend.
It's supposed to be like this today and tomorrow, and then it's supposed
to rain a little bit Friday and Saturday mornings. Yeah, but I think
it's limited to just the morning, so hopefully it clears up in the afternoon.
I don't know so, but those of you arriving today should have some
really nice weather tonight and tomorrow. Yea, it is chilly at night though
we had the heat on. Yeah, and up until about twenty minutes if
I still had my hoodie on. So but I don't want anything to do
with the cold. I didn't see it. I didn't think it was think
it was that cold. It's cold shorts or jeans weather. I haven't put
on shorts yet. I'm wearing tactical sweatpants right now. It's only going to
be in the mid seventies at the high. It's not gonna be hot like
tonight's gonna be in the forties, I think is a low. So it's
it ain't like last year. Was I get in the eighties, it was
it was pretty comfortable, But yeah, this year is a bit cooler.
So definitely bring a hoodie, you know, bring a sweatshirt or something,
Bring some pants, some shoes and socks. Prepare to not be hot.
Yep, yep, it's definitely warmer. At home than it is right here,
and it had I not checked the weather before I left um because I
was just thinking, all right, it's it'll be like every time I've been
here it's been hot. I checked the weather and it's like loads of fifties.
I'm like, oh, hell, now I'm bringing my hoodie and a
pair of pants. There was one year years ago when it was at hera
that I forgot to bring any cold weather clothes and I bought him vention sweatshirt
in the in the flea market because it was so cold. I was like,
I gotta do that, so I gotta go buy it. I got
it. And last year I came by and I went to go buy a
T shirt on uh was it Saturday morning or Friday morning? It was early
I think it was Saturday morning. First thing I went to go buy a
T shirt and they were sold out everything but small. Because my buddy,
yeah, well I'm not. But my buddy David, when he's like I
can't make it this year, go buy me a T shirt. I said
sure, And I went over there and I'm like, you guys are sold
out? Did you print? Oh no, we printed the same amount.
And I'm like I don't think that's true. Hopefully they printed more this year.
I'm gonna go buy a T shirt first thing this year because I didn't
get one last year. But that is I got it. I got an
embroidered hat the first year I was here. What was that twenty nineteen when
we all came out here. Yeah, and the hat is like so big
it just looks goofy. So I never wear it. I don't. I
don't really wear hats that much though. Yeah. I keep getting though.
Every time I cut you go to hand face, you get a hat,
right, Yeah? No, I got an Icom hat. I don't even
know how I did that. They were handing those out last year, were
they? Yeah? No, because I think I just got it. Oh
damnication. Maybe well they don't know. They were handing out care packages last
year. And I got an icomb hat last year. But I wonder I
have known it somehow. I have an icon hat, and then I don't
know. I have like a million hats now. Shane says, they're they're
any good breweries up here. Yeah, we went to a brewery years ago.
Of course, we'll have a troll pub on Saturday night, will have
local drafts there from local brewery, so you'll be able to sample more than
just one brewery by going to troll Pub. So that's that's that's my plan.
But there's a brewery right here in Zenia too, Yeah, there is.
I think we went there last year. It's called like Devil Something I
feel. I think we went there last year. It might have been in
twenty nineteen. I don't remember. But everything closes early. We got here,
we were ready for dinner at like nine thirty or ten, and like
everything is closed. Devil Wind Brewing. That's it, Devil Wind Brewing.
Okay, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I remember that place. I'm
pretty sure we stopped in there last year. I don't remember now, it
could be wrong about that, but we got a few taps there. I
got probably ten taps there. Yeah, yeah, that's pretty good. Good,
but that is they have twelve, they have them numbered. Look at
that good good. I'll be dying, let me real quick. I was
asked to promote LDG during this trip. Those are you coming to him mention.
This video is officially sponsored by LDG Electronics. You will be able to
save twenty percent off of all LDG products at the Gigaparts booth this weekend.
So if you need LGD tuners or antenna accessories or anything they make, you
should have told me my LDG hat is in the car and would have word.
Yeah minds are the good minds in there somewhere too, So yeah,
LDG twenty percent off of the Gigaparts booth this weekend, and they have they
offered to sponsor all of my videos this week so special thanks to LDG for
doing that. We're gonna get an interview with them probably on Friday. So
I think they have a new um, I think they have a new something
coming out. Maybe I'm thinking of somebody else. There will be a new
rig expert a a three thousand tutor year that will cover a yeah analyzer,
I'm sorry, yeah, um, yeah, I got DG tuners on the
brain. Yeah analyzer will cover up to three thousand mega hurts to be able
to do your two point four gigg hurt's Wi Fi crap with it, so
it'd be kind of fun, ye but yeah, So that'll be on display
at the Giga Parts booth as well. But if you guys go buy gigaparts
and get something, tell them you saw this stream and this channel whatnot.
It's because they like hearing that. They're good folks there, very supportive of
the Ham radio community YouTuber community in general. They are good people. We
were just talking with Steve there earlier. I want to him and his wife
were in there. Oh you saw him, Okay, Yeah, I saw
him in there. Yeah, Steve Molo from Giga Parts. He's already in
here starting on the booth set up flex radios here. I just talked to
those guys. Michael and Lorie are in there, and lou is in there.
Another guy I met for the first time. I saw a whole stack
of tar heel antenna's too. Seriously, yep, wow, Gigaparts. Was
that quicksilver? I didn't say. I didn't see what brand it was,
but I mean it's like literally like you know where that Uh well, no,
I mean was it a reseller of tar heel? Was it tar Heeled
themselves? Booth? They might have been a reseller. I think it was.
Yeah, like just boxes and boxes of tar heels, which is something
I haven't seen for a while. No, that's been a while since I're
looking for a tar heel antenna. I feel I saw many boxes of little
tar heels. I mean they had all the the whole display of all of
their screw driver antennas, so right literally right next to to get parts.
Yeah, where that you know that where that explorer sign is like if you
just if you're facing that Explorer sign look right. See he didn't have any
of the signs that when I was like, okay, so yeah, they're
asking about Frank coming. Oh he thanks for the super chat Arthur. Um
haven't heard you on Uh you've probably been there, but you should see a
bunch of extra people connected to the All Star system. Arthur. He's all
Arthur's always connected. Oh your luster antenna. But yes, Frank is coming.
He and Adam are flying into it's either Since out of or Columbus.
I can't remember where. They're flying into the same airport this evening, five

so. So we got the third the third campers here. Yeah. Yeah.
We got here yesterday and we were the only ones here. I thought
we got here about eleven eleven in the morning on Wednesday last year and there
were three, four or five people set up, not very many at all.
I thought I'd probably be a couple of people there on Tuesday. There
was nobody here in this area. There was a couple of people up front,

have to stretch it around. So I got a right angle and MESSI and
plumey Evo connector for it. I've got some airborne co accs that I'm gonna
run to it. So, uh so I've got that final and I think
it's born seven. Yeah that'll work. So yeah, so that's gonna that's
gonna be a thing. And then uh yeah, yeah that's all good.
So it's gonna be a fun show, fun show, fun show. You're

I feel m hm. So, oh, yes, he's Steve cam
nine G. He's on his way. He said he was gonna leave at
the crack of yawn this morning and drive down from Wisconsin. I think it
was ten or eleven hours shorter than our drive. Shorter than our drive.
So he'll be here. He's way up on the top of Wisconsin. So
yeah, yeah, so he'll be here and m And I don't know if
he's picking up Jim or if Jim's driving separately. I'm not sure how that's
working out, but FEP labs, Jim will be here, and Steve will
be here and Shane Shane, what's your status, dude. I saw Shane
in the chat earlier, but he's uh. We have heard back and forth
about whether he's gonna come out here, and you can get a confirmation from
Shane, that'd be great. Yea, So did you come up through Indianapolis?
Yes, we did. It took us on a different route this time
than it's taken us in the past. It took us all the way north
through Oklahoma into the Droplin area, came through Joplin, through um Saint Louis,
and then through Indianapolis and then up that direction, so we bypassed Cincinnati
completely. Driven up through Cincinnati in the past. Usually I'll take I forty,
I thirty through Little Rock and then I forty and through Memphis across the
Mississippi. That's the way I'd normally go. But for whatever reason, it's
uh, it took me a different route this time. So I'm okay with
not having to drive through Cincinnati. Yeah. Yeah. I seventy is always
under construction and is always a traffic jam. First flight lands at twelve in
Columbus. For who Shane twelve today or twelve tomorrow we talk about you're talking
about tomorrow. I think, I mean he has a second flight. I
think he's try and stand by because he's an airline employee, so I think
he's gonna try to get on that one. I seventy was fine. You
know, we had a fairly uneventful drive the whole time. Not a single
traffic jam, not a single traffic jam. No. There was a couple
of places along the interstates where they closed the right lane or closed the left
lane, but there was so few traffic everybody just kind of merged over and
it went on through. So we had even in Indianapolis. We drove through
in an appolis at through a little after five o'clock, where you think would
be the harder rush hour. Nothing, it was fined on through. We
didn't have any trouble getting a goal, so other than they just the long
ass drive. But you know, I have five flights lined up. Lol.
Wow, so he's really determined to get here. Zack's flying? What's
up? Zach? Loyal is in the chat? He's flying out tomorrow.
You're coming out, too, Loyal, sweep, yep. What's Matt's status,
Zach? Do you know what? I haven't talked to Matt in a
few weeks? Not sure what? Um sure? When when he'll be here?
Is he coming? I don't know. I don't know. I don't
know if he's coming or not. Good question. Hey that's not our free
but oh no, that's fine. Sometime Friday, Shane says, okay,
who Shane says sometime Friday, Shane will be here Friday, Yeah, okay,
Zach says, he's flying last I heard Matt is flying last I heard
my wife says she's starting to feel left out. This is the show,
babe. Yeah, she's coming. She's coming with me to uh to Huntsville.
She's coming hunt back to Huntsville this year. I'm pretty surprised you last
year. Yeah, right, that was fun. Mm hmm, yep,
that is it. But yes, once again, we are those of you
who have All Star. We are on hub four three one three six monitoring
that I've got a connection from my phone. Now Kyle's bringing um, Kyle's
bringing me a new an Ethernet cable to access my failed Sherry note that hopefully
just has a bad SD card. So we're tinker with that tonight at the
Airbnb. But I am connected via phone app. As soon as I am
finished streaming, I'll reconnect again. Well on Simplex. We are on one
four six dot four five right four five on Simplex here at the fairgrounds.
I haven't monitoring now there's nobody on it right now because they're the only ones
here. Yes, that is true. So mm hmm. If you would
learn to light your cigar directly, Don says, yeah, it's definitely not
the crappy Drew Estates three smoke well, because this costs two dollars and fifty
cents. Literally every single don I've got that is I can't. That's or
a field TechEd on No um, I've got these in sixty nine percent Bovidas.
It's just it's just these. When I smoke other cigars, they burn
fine, it's just these drew A States factory smokes. They suck, but
they're cheap. It's just a cheap everyday cigar. You know, every day
cigar. If you want to smoke ten dollars cigar, you want to smoke
a two dollars cigar. I want to smoke a ten dollars cigar, but
go broke hi a cheap cigar and go through one lighter per cigar. Yeah.
Yeah, well gas is pretty cheap. M Yeah. So that coach
behind you still trying to park sounds about right. Took this guy a couple
of times a part two. But I don't know what he's I don't know
what he's doing back there. I'll go park it for him here in a
minute. Hey, he's almost got it. Let's see. Does Ohio honor
your carry permits? Yeah, yeah they do. They are reciprocal so yep,
we got several freedom sticks with us. And this is my boom stick.
This is this is not primates. Yes, several boomsticks with us.
Yeah, and uh say Shane says, when it's poda, we're gonna have
to go poda to morrow. I think, yeah, I think that's we
have to go to Mars about the only day we Uh yeah, I would
be able to. Yeah. Yeah. Is there an official repeater that folks
use when James getting here? Do you know? I don't know. I
don't know when James is getting here? Um, yeah, there are one
forty six nine four is the him vench and talking repeater. But the does
the fair ground allow boomsticks? They do in the parking lot. Yeah.
So funny you say that because I was riding around on the bike and all
the buildings have which you wouldn't be able to carry in a building with this
capacity anyway, when they're like at least in May and the gun laws are
like like public areas that have like a capacity of twenty five hundred or more.
There's there's a few like no churches obviously, you know, schools,
you know, places where people would want to come do your harm. Literally
every door has like no gun signs. Yeah, I'm not sure how official
that see in Texas, that would be a oh it's very efficial, non
non official sign. You can put up a no gun sign, but if
you don't post the ordinance itself, no, it's it's an official. Well,
I'm not trying to go to jail and Ohio. Yeah, that very
I'd rather get back to Texas right. Oh, when you guys go to
PODA, I will need to ride out to the part guys. Richard says,
so, yeah, somebody. I'm sure somebody will have an extra seat.
I think my seat's full. But what battery I knew you to power
my seventy three at the at the camp side. Any battery depends on what
you're trying to do with it. I mean I did for the longest time
when I when when kind of Poda first started taking off and I was doing
podas, I was using my eight ninety one and a ten amp hour battery,
And that was when you'd have to call CQ for an hour just to
get ten contacts. Is nobody knew what the hell Podo was, so boy,
those days, a twenty amp hour battery is a good battery. To
have. I have a thirty amp battery and in my battery box, I've
not come close to draining it, even even when I'm like so like on
Tuesday nights, I'll sit out and watch the Ham Radio clubhouse guys, and
I'll sit here playing FT eight for for a couple hours and maybe use eight
ten amp hours out of it. I'm only running sixty nine percent power,
but still that's I've got three battery boxes with me. My Giga parts box
with the twenty four am hower, and my other two boxes both have fifty
amp hour batteries. So go bigger, go home. And then if you
augment it with solar, you know, we've both got solar panels out right
now, solar panels out. I've got it. I've got a thirty am
bio eno hooked up to my pan it over there, I've got I've got
a thirty amp my battery box, because a thirty amp bio eno in it
here powering my my eight one eight one eight on on transmit on FT eight
five wads puts out pulls like two amps. Power in eight went eight for
for a hundred lifetimes, and then I and then I got one hundred and
twenty white solar panel on the ground. So we're good. Do you guys
know what park you're gonna do? Poda KB nine VBR is at Caesar's.
Caesar's Creek is where we were planning to stay. My buddy West is staying
there, and James from Billy's staying there too, Billy Stan Billy's Billy got
another one. He tried. He tried to get Caesar's Creak and he said
it was sold out. James Um Greater Venture guy. He's staying at caesar
Creek. So we know at least two people that are staying at Caesar's Creek.
So we're gonna go over there probably in tomorrow. We can just roll
up on him too, and they'll just have stuff set up. Yeah,
don't have to. Yeah, we'll let them do all the work. Yeah,
yeah, exactly, Would you push that CQ button for me? Yea,
I hear, I hear that. James kind of knows what he's doing
with Poda, dude. I was just looking at his stats the other day
because I was I was just putting around on the Podo website. Yeah,
he has over one hundred and fifty thousand Poda contacts. That's one hundred and
fifty kiloads. I think, I think, I think he's got he's like
number three on the like total leader. Not quite Okay, I thought he
was number three. He's very close. He's up there. He's up there,
and he's only been doing this for a little over a year. Last
year he did that Bailey Spot Award thing. He literally poted every single day.
But he doesn't just go to one park. He'll do like ten parks
in a day. He stopped. He's only working four days a week so
he can pot him more. Now. He's not, he's just he's he's
he's addicted. He's got he's got problems. Yeah, yeah it. I
tell people when they get emails from people all the time, they're like,
hey, your video has got me inspired to do pot. I'm like,
be careful, man, it's addictive. Yeah. Maybe I didn't tell him
that. No, No, that's true. It's very addictive. True.
Yep. I've been wanting to do a lot of PODO lately, but it's
been freaking raining in Texas every damn day. So brand yesterday or on Monday
when we left, we posted Monday night the day the second I got to
Jason's house to unload my crap and put it in his caravan. Started raining,
It started raining. It was clear all day until Mike arrived and started
raining. You know the Texas snowmageddon we had like two years ago. We'd
never had that in Texas until Mike moved to Texas. A little Detroit boy,
I'm just saying, brought that crap with him from Michigan. Technically,
I was in Texas January eleventh. Yea, the movers, oh, the
movers. But I was in a I was in a like an extended stay
for like six weeks, trying to find a place to live. And then
the movers brought my stuff down. And it was like a day or two
after that because when they were moving my stuff and it was like forty degrees,
I'm like, sorry, it's cold. You guys were coming down to
Texas thing, it's gonna be nice and sunny. I was doing a poda
in my in my uh, in short sleeves in January when I moved down
there. That's very We've done in shorts on January first at the beach twice.
So we are complaining about ham radio tips and tricks. Uh, yeah,
we are complaining about snow. If we wanted to be if we wanted
to live in snow, we wouldn't be in Texas. I was born further
south than most people in this country. Yeah. For the first eight years
of my life, I lived in Lighthouse Point, Florida, which is two
more people, you know, pomping on just north of four Lauderdale. I
know where that is. Two people showing up with the RVs good times,
good times, So steve from him seventeen project. I saw you in there,
buddy, gonna get you on interview again this weekend. We talked to
them. I talked to them in Florida. Yeah, yeah, they're making
some good now. He's in every one of my damn freaking live stream.
Yeah yeah. I wonder if this guy knows he's supposed to back in.
I don't. I think he's angled the wrong way and maybe he's pulling forward
to Yeah. I didn't back in. I pulled. I pulled around that
way. But yes, one thirty, Sorry, Jason. I bought it
d X Commander from Mike. He's selling d X Commander's no for that Easter
thing. I know what he's talking about. I saw, I saw them
all for all you guys. Column texted me. He's like, he's like,
what the well, like they're god. He texted me like a week
before. He told me about the thing a week or two before, and
I said, while I'm on vacation that week. I was in Big ben
that week, and I said, I'll send an email to my email list
for you. Just let me know when he goes. Yeah, yeah,
I like Tuesday or Wednesday or whatever it was. Well, he he put
him up there like a day or two early, and they were all sold
out by the time I got to it. So yeah, yeah, I
just made a video that morning. Yeah, gone, yep, that will
do it great. I don't know if we still I still have an antenna
to give away. I've got two. I've got two because because from that
Easter sale, because I sold out first. Oh right now, I bought
I bought two of the antennas off of my own off of my own link,
and then two of the expedition. So I've got him in the garage.
Actually I bought three, about one for myself. I didn't have an
expedition. I have the Old Classic and Kellum says that it's so old that
it's he's changed everything on it now. No, he's changed him like three
times probably. So I bought a classic or expedition for myself and about two
expeditions to give away wish we're going to be given away probably at the end
of this month, probably on our Happy Hour Memorial Day Happy Hour livestream and
give it those away, so y'all keep watching for that. I guess those
guys are angled this way. It makes sense. Yeah, I gets driving
that way and then you're back in. But I've got it. I've got
the d commander, the twelve meter thing, but I got it. It's
a freaking ranting Ravens house and I I was gonna. I was gonna go
down pick it up last Friday or two fridays ago, but me and Ryan,
Me and Ryan decided to go poda and get drunk instead. Huh,
that was no, that was Sint go to Mayo we had when we had
the Podo Rita's. Oh yeah, I coined. I invented a new term,
Podo reata a poda you drank Margarita's and Saint go to Mayo. Podo
Rita's highly recommend we had. We had good They were made with padrone silver
um, what's that really high end triple sec better than Quantro not? Uh
yeah, Quantro is a triple secon, isn't it. I don't talk about
I don't know. Well, Margarita is a you know, you get to
the tequila, the sweet and sour and triple sack we had. It was
all top shelf and we put him in U like the Thermis tumblers. Oh
yeah, Like you don't want to have like a solo cover or nothing out
that you don't want the rangers knowing you put it in a water bottle.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there, that's the way to be in cognito
here yep. Follow Kay at MRD for more tips, like I'll teach you
how to poda. They don't call me Papa Poda for them, that's right.
Shane says we need to have a build party for d expeditions. He's
got a or d ex commanders. He's got an expedition as well. Frank's
got one. Yeah, and uh yeah, we should get together on that.
It'd be fun. And I'll be there and I'll just set mine up
and I'll be on the air while you guys, I'll watch you guys.
I'll set them up. I need something that I'm glad I got that expedition
because I need something that I can take to a park and put my amplifier
behind. Yeah, and all of the infant halfways won't handle five hundred what
but so me and side Boom side Boom's got a thousand and one amplifier.
Yeah, and we're fixing to do Uh. I gotta I gotta see if
I can get I got see if I can pull some strings to get a
power source for this. But we want to do a we want to do
a thousand wat PoTA activation on p with the on battery power with the d
X commander. Be good. That's gonna be freaking awesome. Yeah, that
would be good because we only live a few hours he lives. He lives
in Louisiana, so he's not too far. So we'll probably go somewhere near
uh, probably somewhere around Baketown actually, um oh yeah, okay, somewhere
in that area, maybe a little bit west, any closer to Orange or
something kind of by the border. Somebody's asking if you can buy tickets at
the fairgrounds. Yes, and you don't have to pre order, you can.
Somebody's calling me, and I'm going to ignore it. Uh so,
yeah, you can buy tickets at the at the at the gate and come
on out. Don't don't be shy. Yep, no shortage of rounds.
Yeah, if you're you know, if you're I was riding my e bike
in there earlier and Michael Caulter he I saw him, so I stopped and
talk to him from it a minute and he's like, he's like, yeah,
you can't ride that during the show. Our insurance won't won't allow it.
And I'm like, so your insurance will allow you to for these really
old guys to ride these scooters that they can't hardly walk to. But I
can't ride a bike that I can control one hundred percent. But okay,
yeah that's fine. I don't care. And then guys the scooters will just
run you over. Yeah, yeah, they don't care. Yeah, they
don't even have a little bell or not, but they got a little I
don't know if they use it, but they got it. So no,
they just run you over. They don't care. I mean, I guess
when I'm that old and ordering, I won't care either. But what time
you heading to Cedar creekd You know, I don't know. Um Adam is
doing a presentation at four days in May tomorrow afternoon. I want to say
it's around one or one thirty, and I say we head over after immediately
after that. So I gotta find out what time adams presentation is at four
days in May. And I'll tell you the best way to find out when
we're on the air, ham alert, Ham alert. Ye, look at
that freaking spider. Holy crap. Oh yeah, yeah, why don't we
dispatch that guy because he's a I don't want to button the dog check.
I don't know where he is, but he in here. Now kick them
in here? Now? Have you not put the new uh firmware on these
No? I haven't done. You can turn the lights off and everything.
It's great. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. No, I
turned the lights off on these things. Yeah. I like to have the
lights on so I know that the battery's not dead. That's what the freaking
receivers for. Yeah, but if you're not looking at the receiver, if
you're front facing your phone interviewing someone, I gotta, I gotta, I
gotta show you how to use your phone, buddy. I well, I
don't have an iPhone, so you can't really show me how to use that.
How did the five hundred do in the trip beautifully? In fact,
I'm still it's beaconing aprs right now casey five h should be dash six.
You can see that we were beaking in the whole whole way here. In
fact, it's funny. Somebody got on All Star they were talking about this.
They're like, because Mike's icon is a little stick man and mycon's a
little truck or the vehicle. And it showed Mike behind me because he was
only beaconing five wats and I was beaking in fifty. So I think it
was just the times that we were. He could be, it could be,
but but I was behind the It looked like the stick man chasing the
truck down the road the APR. I mean, if you if you look
as if you look at it, you can still see us man. Yeah,
probably probably so probably So that was funny. I guess I guess that
guy gave up. Yeah, I don't know. See, you looks like
a homemade he was pulling his power card. I don't I don't think he
was close enough. Ah, Okay, he's just he just pulling around.
So, yes, live from the Hamvention Ferret Grounds. Guys, hope to
see all of you this weekend. Well you can't see it now because the
coach there, but the the building three where Gigaparts and Yasu are is right
there. So you just come out that building, turn a little bit to
the right and walk back here to this RVs. So you see a bunch
of RVs back here, come find us. We'll be hanging out here kind
of off and on. This is our break taking spot. We'll look for
the big tall green mask because that would be up. Yeah, yeah,
the big the m f J mask will be up to be able to see
that starlink is up although it's not connected to anything. And uh, but
we're right the Dara ham shack is right there with the big Yaggy's right there.
So y'all come see us at some point in time. That's the first
it's the first kind of road of the campground and we're five or six spots
in on the left. What did that say last year? Jeff was there
with you. When does he get it? He gets in tonight. I
think he lands at like six or something like that. And then he said
he'd be at the I think we're gonna we're all meeting at the Airbnb later,
so I think he gets there between like seven and eight tonight something like
that. So he's renting a car and driving in from wherever he flies into.
I don't know if he's flying in the Cincinnati or Columbus or wherever.
So yeah, yeah, Josh will be here tonight. Adam Frank will be
here tonight. Rob will be here here in just a little bit, Sterling,
Kyle and Red will be here this evening. Probably somebody else too.
I can't remember who else. But let's run some AM while smoking cigars?
Sure, why not? Some AM with eight with the eight one eight.
We were at the More Expo in last month in Springfield, Missouri, and
Shane had his seventy three hundred set up there at our campsite. He was
We was just hunting poda and he saw the waterfall and AM signal, so
we tuned around to the guy and he made an AM contact and he said
that We sat there talking guy for five minutes and it was like he's like,
man, it's been a long time since I made an AM contact.
Sounded fantastic. We should do that more often we should do a PODA activation
with AM. I've made a few AM contacts, but not many. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, it's been a while since I've done one before.
Before that, it was the it was the one hundred and sixty meter AM
contest, but I was still in Michigan. I used my my MFJ tuner
to tune up my forty meter off center fed dipole on one hundred and sixty.
Yeah, all right, but I made like two or three contacts.
R Field Tech says, when is Sterling going to make more videos? That's
right, he does make videos. That's the question. That's the question,
you know, Sterling. I don't know if he should be allowed to stay
in the YouTuber's airbnb. You gotta be a YouTuber to stay at the YouTuber's
airbnb, So I don't know. It might be a little bit sketch tonight.
You might have an extra bed. We have to tell Sterling has to
sleep on the sidewalk outside, so there might be an extra bed there.
You guys ask Kyle about that. See if we allow Sterling in there or
not. I mean, he has a channel, he has a channel.
Yes, a lot of people have to doesn't take much to be a YouTuber.
Look at me, I know it. Yeah yeah, h m hm,
ooh boy, thank you for watching everybody. We're just hanging out at
the campsite. This is where we'll be rest of the day, probably the
rest of the day to day, well until that we're gonna go meet everybody
at the Airbnb tonight. But yep, fun times. Should be a good
time. Yeah, we're looking forward to the weather out here is very nice,
guys, very nice weather. Yeah, Today in the Morrow are going
to be the two nice days yep. M and then then typical Ham fast
fashion, we'll have some rain. J four. Why is that? I
Eric? I don't know if he's coming or not. Honestly, I don't
think he is. Is he not? I mean I haven't talked to him.
I haven't talked to him since uh Ham cation. Yeah, what's the
post COVID turnout? Last year, they had a really good turnout. And
again when I talked to Michael Coulter earlier today, but about an hour and
a half ago, probably a couple hours ago something like that, he said
they had sold more tickets this year than they had at this time last year.
So the campgrounds, of course it is sold out. They don't have
very many campground spots. But yeah, they've sold more tickets this year than
they did last year, and it should be a really good show. So
numbers are numbers are looking good. Rain late Friday night only, Yeah,
they can changing that. Originally they said it'll change all the time. Yeah.
Originally said am showers on Friday and Saturday, and I think they've changed
that to where it's going to be late Friday. I've had the misfortune of
living in Ohio twice and then working in Ohio a third time, but I
lived just over the border because I was working in Toledo. You have no
idea what's going on here? No, No, the same saying, it's
kind of the same thing everywhere. It is. Literally in all the states
that I've lived in, everybody says the same thing. Oh, just white
five minutes to the weather, it'll change. Done. Matt Weather's Michigan,
Ohio, Virginia, Florida, New Jersey, Texas, X. I lived
all over the place. It doesn't matter. Everybody thinks. Everybody thinks they're
they're unique. Yeah they're got Yeah, I'm very well traveled. Big news
at the DX Engineering Oh yes, Okay, so we're going to announce that.
I do know some big news about because because Calum actually told me that
three days ago. Okay, so Dan, he told me that longer than
that, well, he told me I could announce it three days ago.
He told me that like a month ago. I think I think it was
about a month ago. Anyway. Yeah, DX Engineering is selling DX Commander
antenna's naw yeah, buddy, US distributor inside the USA DX Commander antennas.
That's gonna be huge because you got to when you order from Calum, you
gotta pay shipping DX Engineering. You ain't paying the shipping over ninety nine dollars
with DX Engineering, right right. So that's how they get me because when
I build big geek, I order all my power at my anders some power
polls from them. Oh and it's always like seventy nine bucks or something.
Bastards, So they sucker. Are you into buying something else? Yeah?
Either, no matter what, you're playing one hundred bucks if you get DX
Engineering, but go buy the DX Engineering booth. But they're shipping is fast.
Yeah, well, Callum's shipping is fast. Kelly, if you order
a DX Commander today, you'll have it yesterday. Yeah, that's right,
because they fly around the world the other way. Yeah, so they reverse,
they go the other way of the international date line. That's how they
do it. Yep, that is true. Did not see an email letting
me know about the live stream? No, I didn't send an email today.
We're here in the field. Um, but I did talk about this
live stream on the live stream last Sunday when I had all the YouTubers on.
We were talking about our plans for this week. So and I did
the same exact live stream. I'm just gonna go with Yes, that's from
Skoggins. That's from Scoggins. Yeah, uh sure, yeah, yeah,
tell yeah, tell him. Sure. We're gonna have a really good representation
of Devo's Light Rangers out here, because somebody else texted me with that earlier
too, but it wasn't him, but yes, uh, Devo's light Rangers
for nighttime and uh good stuff. All right, this cigar sucks. Yeah,
I've got some really nice cigars in there, though. You want one?
No, I all right, No, I don't need this. I
don't need the chain smokes cigars. Well, give me fair. If you're
interested in a VHQ hex Beam. I talked to Dave. He's in there
with his hex Beam set up. I did an interview with him at Hampkation
last February and he says that he's a lot due to my video. He
brought I think five or six with him today that you can take and take
with you. So it is if you want the biggest most kick ass Hecks
beam that that it exists today. Now. I love my Buddy Hecks,
don't get me wrong, but the Buddy Hecks is made for portable operations.
The VHQ is made to put up and leave. I know guys who put
up the the Buddy Hacks and leave it, and you can do that,
but that's not really what it's designed for. The Buddy Hecks is designs for
portable operations. VHQ is designed for put up and uh oh there's a hurricane
coming, Just leave it there. It's fine. So yeah, great antenna,
Absolutely great antenna. I think that I think I'm gonna put mine up
on the house. I haven't told my my wife yet, but you just
did. I just did. Surprise. She's gonna look at that and be
like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I want to put I want to
bolt it to my chimney on the top of my two story house. Yeah,
I think that's what I'm gonna do. A pretty sweet legal limit,
buddy. Well think, but think about the guy that lives down the street
from Frank. Oh, I know he's got that. He's got that step
the step by r or something whatever, whatever it is. He's got two
or three good triband farm out. Yeah it does. Uh huh. And
Frank still doesn't have one antenna thrown out. He does, he has,
he's got a he's got a I think he takes it up and down.
But he's got an antenna strung up in a tree in the backyard. Not
when I was there, well, and that was just that was just before
leaves it there. But he does do. What's the plant of it?
I don't know. This is Frank we're talking about. Logic is out the
window. I've got two antenna's up. Yeah. Three Actually, if you
kint the VHF I want, I've got well, if you count my VHF,
I've got three up also, and gmrs and a VHF and a officer
fed dipool for HF. Yeah right now. So Frank's got room. No,
yeah, he's got plenty of room up. He doesn't have our good
excuses. Yeah, I can't wait to get there. Richard Truckingham, Well,
come on, dude, drop your load off and get over here.
There's semi's in here. You should be able to get a semi in here.
I don't know. I think that coach is bigger than his pot.
There's literally you can't see him now, but they're bringing him. Yeah load
true stuff, that's true. And there's there's you know, fifty foot trailers
with pickup trucks bringing them. There's a My understanding is that DX Engineering will
have DX Commander antenna's here at this show. I believe. I don't quote
me on that, but because they just announced this, and I think they
timed it to announce fourhand mevention. So yes, I believe that DX Commander
antennas will be available at the DX Engineering booth this show, hopefully, because
that'd be cool. Yep, it would be cool. That would be very
cool. Oh hello from Cincinnati. I'll be there Saturday. I mean to
be fair, that duly right there. Yeah, it's the same size as
a pickup truck. It's just not as as a semi. It's just not
as tall. Yeah, it's true. That's true. Yep, that's that.
That bobtail is smaller than that coach right there. God, yeah,
that's a little bit. Huh yeah, Richard, I would suspect he'd be
able to get in here. There's another duely, Tom says, Mike,
you're butters stick pro with the stand works great, You're a would you call
try try lamb try lamb lamb de lambda lambda Yeah. Uh, I'm gonna
have to retire before I can ham fest. That's sad. Yeah, you
don't get any holiday time at all. Yell. Working to the bone sounds
like my old job, that's right. Yeah, yeah, I think I
had, like because I was so tenured, I had probably four or five
weeks a holiday every year, and they'd kill you anytime you wanted to take
it. Really Oh it was terrible, terrible, That is terrible. Yeah,
ye seed end up, you'd end up just like taking a payout for
some of it at the end of the year. Oh yeah, well,
well it carries over it because it would carry over to the next year or
two, and it's like, well, yeah, when when do I have
time to take it? Because yeah, I'm your little slave. Have everyone
in your group spend fifty dollars or under and see who gets the best deal
of the hand fest is over. I wish I could, probably, I
wish I could limit my spending to fifty dollars. It's probably not gonna happen.
I don't see myself spending much money at all. I don't, I
don't. I don't need anything. I don't need anything. The only thing
I get it, like every ham Fast is just more connectors. Yeah,
more connectors, you know, adapters whatever. I bought that time. I
bought that IC seven or five case at ham Cason that I wasn't planning to
buy. It was like three three seventy five. So then he bought that
ken Wood at Belton YEP about the Kenwood Belton TS four eighty because I needed
that. I did. Actually I need mobile. Well, I needed a
newer radio than my C seven thousand. Yeah, I was getting a little
long in the two bouncing around in the truck. UM works great, I'm
gonna put it. I'm gonna put it in a packable pack like UM with
the arm alot cages on it. So use that as a PoTA pack.
But that is that. But yeah, I needed I needed a new HF
radio. Nobody makes an HF radio these days except for Yezo, the eight
ninety one. Not a mobile one you got you got seventy one, Yeah,
that's it. Yeah, And I would have I would have gone with
the seventy one hundred, but but I'm glad I found a four eighty for
a good price. And so yeah, I've got two hundred what's that extra
three dbs? Well, plus you got the big tar. He'll so it'll
take, it'll handle more pat Yeah, yeah, don't. Yeah, usually
think the little tar he'll handles. It'll hand them one two hundred ways,
several hundreds. I can't remember, six hundred something like that. I don't
know, but I mean I don't have any more than a hundred, so
I don't care. Yep, yep, I've never needed more than one hundred.
Freak the freaking pile ups you get. It's such like such a compromised
intenna, any mobile, any mobile intenn as a compromised intenna anymore. But
you know, you think about like when I'm out doing PODA a good portion
of the time, regardless of the antenna I'm using, I mean, I'm
usually using the pac Tenna or the Dax commander. Yeah, like if I
had more power or a more efficient antenna, which I mean, yeah,
you get some loss with a forty nine to one just in the transformer,
but not much. Um It's like I did. I did a Poto a
few probably a month or so ago. I had like three hundred and fifty
contacts in like two and a half hours. Like you just you. I
don't know how you could work any more people faster Like no, no,
so no, it just doesn't matter, not really, Gary says two point
zero and MRDI in the same place. This is going to be interesting.
It's been interesting for an hour. Man, where are you been? Yeah,
Dawn's got to sign up, see you Dawn. Oh now, Jason's
calling me, So I'm live streaming Sun Scoggins. Oh yeah, he's called
yeah. Yeah, you forget that he has a hamlet he has them.
Yeah yeah, yeah, Scott, if you're calling me live streaming telling everybody
