evening to everyone. Yo, shows
are fun? Sounds better? Or Tom

10
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:06.280
says, So okay, I think
that should according to my meter over here,

11
00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:07.680
that should be pretty good right there. Of course it's gonna sound better

12
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:15.280
when I talk straight into the microphone. See that looks good there. I

13
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.200
can turn that up just to touch
see if that's good. A little quiet,

14
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:22.799
yeah, I was, I was
noticing that myself. A little quiet

15
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:30.719
myself, So good better? Now, okay, all right, so we're

16
00:01:30.719 --> 00:01:38.200
just gonna oh that's you doing that, Frank. You're messing with the chat.

17
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.040
But when you talk I know,
I know, I know. So

18
00:01:46.239 --> 00:01:49.040
there we go. All right,
Yeah, I've got I've got allergies,

19
00:01:49.879 --> 00:01:53.640
and I need to get some of
that to some of that medicine you had,

20
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.359
Frank, because the only thing I've
found that Frank had some generic Zyrtec

21
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.920
that worked pretty well this weekend.
But to that, the only thing I

22
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:02.200
found that actually works as Ben and
Droll, which puts me to sleep.

23
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:08.000
But there we go. So what's
going on, Frank? Not much?

24
00:02:08.039 --> 00:02:14.479
Not much for the heck of it. I brought up something. Oh what'd

25
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:20.080
you bring? I brought the whiskey
that I had yet to take a drink

26
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.639
out of. Oh yeah, I'm
pretty sure. Mike and I were kind

27
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:30.400
of plowing into that. Like on
Friday when I was allergies kicking my butt

28
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.000
and I was like, man,
I don't feel like drinking. I actually

29
00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:37.879
turned in like nine thirty maybe ten
o'clock, and I just didn't feel like

30
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:39.360
drinking. Then the next day I
was like, let's do this, and

31
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:47.120
then yeah, we went out and
m Richard MTC. Richard was nice enough

32
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:57.639
to hurchase a quantity of shots.
It was his idea, I mean,

33
00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:00.599
the whole thing was his idea.
But yes, yes, I'm glad it

34
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.919
was his idea. Um um,
well, barbecue was getting kind of old

35
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:08.639
having it for all day, all
day long. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

36
00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:12.560
it was still good. Viracue,
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah,

37
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:16.719
of course, of course, Sue. Yeah, that guy was there Thursday

38
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.560
night. We chatted with him.
He came over and sat in front of

39
00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.599
our trailer. We chatted with him. His name, like everybody else in

40
00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:25.560
him radio, his name's Jim also, so great guy, great guy.

41
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.479
Yeah, talk to him a little
bit now. And I wanted to ask

42
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:36.639
him to sit down and get his
you know, backstory how you started and

43
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.360
going to the ham fast and I
thought that'd be a great interview. But

44
00:03:38.439 --> 00:03:43.599
every time I kind of walked over
there, he's throwing logs, cutting me,

45
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:47.039
yeah, lapping people's hand. Don't
don't open that brisket yet. It's

46
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:51.479
not ready. It's still resting.
It's still resting, which is a very

47
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:55.120
important step. And I told it
is Yep, yep, agreed, agreed

48
00:03:55.159 --> 00:04:00.439
with that for sure. So yeah, gosh, I wish I had some

49
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:02.039
of that medicine right now, because
you know, thirty minutes ago I felt

50
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.199
fine, and all of a sudden, it's just it's just boomed there it

So oh, Belton was Belton Hamfest, which is a really good swap fest

67
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:28.360
tailgate event that is that takes place
in Texas twice a year, usually in

68
00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:31.279
April and October, and last year
they did it in March, which was

69
00:05:31.319 --> 00:05:35.120
early, but it's usually around the
first weekend in April, give or take

70
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:44.000
a weekend or two something like that. Oh goodness. So it was this

71
00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:48.439
weekend we got. We left there
about noon on Saturday and drove to Cedar

72
00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:55.120
Hill State Park to do Support your
Parks Weekend. The bands were Junk Frank

73
00:05:55.160 --> 00:05:58.399
and I set up last night.
We each made enough contacts to activate,

74
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:02.839
but the bands were just crap um. The band Henry hrdlog dot net,

75
00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.439
which is an app I used my
phone to show me active band activity,

76
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:09.839
said that ten meters was up.
I couldn't hear anything on ten meters.

77
00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:14.519
I think we made some contacts on
twenty meters and ended up calling in a

78
00:06:14.639 --> 00:06:19.040
night because we worked a very very
shallow pile up for half hour or so.

79
00:06:19.399 --> 00:06:23.720
Yeah, and a couple of stations
here and there, did some hunting

80
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:26.160
and did some park to park stuff. A lot of park to park stuff

81
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:30.079
out but I don't know. It
was not the weekend I was hoping for

82
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.160
as far as parks in the air
games. I was hoping to walk away

83
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:39.680
with three hundred contacts, spending the
night and and and being there the next

84
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:45.439
morning. Oh yeah, and I
came out around seventy to eighty. Seventy

85
00:06:45.439 --> 00:06:47.319
to eighty, Okay, I think
I got sixty five total between the two

86
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:55.360
days something like that. But yeah, um yeah, not obviously not as

87
00:06:55.439 --> 00:06:58.519
as well as as it could have
been if it was an open up,

88
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.360
because you know, support your parks. We's usually a lot of activity,

89
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:05.759
oh the twenty. But what we
could hear was popping and busy. There

90
00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:12.959
was just a lout of um noise
around our station. Well, but even

91
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:15.199
after we turned that off, the
more we turned that off this morning,

92
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:17.199
the band was a little bit better
this morning than it was yesterday. Yesterday,

93
00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:21.199
though lasterday night it was angry.
Yeah, we heard a lot of

94
00:07:21.240 --> 00:07:26.560
people and I describe it as angry
um. Several times. It was up

95
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:31.800
to a five or nine, a
lot, a lot of noise. I

96
00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:36.160
want to know to Dawn make it
out to a park. I saw him

97
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:40.120
in the chat earlier. I asked, I think I asked, but I

98
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:43.800
didn't see it. Answer, Yeah, because said he might try to hit

99
00:07:43.879 --> 00:07:46.160
up a park this weekend. I
want to know the answer to that,

100
00:07:46.800 --> 00:07:51.160
um, because in five skts in
the chat too and he was at our

101
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.079
park. But yeah, I went
home. He said he makes some contacts

102
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:58.959
on two meters. Yeah, hey, I called. Yeah, I called

103
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:03.319
c Q poto the smore from my
tech prepper man pack, and Katie five

104
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:05.439
DK, who lives in the area, came back to me. He's like,

105
00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:07.360
man, I just turned the radio
on and happened to be scanning.

106
00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:13.800
I heard you call. So I
made one actual simplex contact with someone local

107
00:08:13.839 --> 00:08:16.800
who was not in the park on
on on six out five two this morning.

108
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.920
So that was fun. It was
fun, I was. I was

109
00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:22.680
happy for that, so put that
in log book, of course, but

110
00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:26.319
m it was I don't know.
I would have worked late into the night

111
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:31.600
and I would we would have stayed
until closing time today if the band was

112
00:08:31.639 --> 00:08:33.480
cooperating with us. But it just
it just was not. So yeah,

113
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:41.320
yeah it was U two meter was
on fire. Yeah, yeah, it

114
00:08:41.399 --> 00:08:43.120
was fun. I really enjoyed it. UM. I just wish the bands

115
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:48.200
were up better because I would have
liked to burnt it down right right.

116
00:08:50.200 --> 00:08:54.720
Other than that, Belton was amazing. UM hand Radio Hobo came out and

117
00:08:54.799 --> 00:08:58.639
hang out with us for a while. Don made it out to Belton also,

118
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:05.600
and then a whole slew of people
came up to me and said,

119
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.440
Hi, I ran out of my
stickers. I had fifty. I was

120
00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.639
like, fifty should be enough because
I go through one hundred and fifty at

121
00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:18.279
a normal large hand fest, So
something small like this now I used small,

122
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:24.080
just comparatively. Um, it's still
a big event here for our Texas.

123
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.399
UM. I went through fifty stickers. I was like, next time,

124
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:31.919
I would not come that unprepared.
So the ones who got them awesome,

125
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:35.120
y'all, y'all rock. The ones
who didn't, I'm so sorry.

126
00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:37.759
I'm so sorry. Hit me up
next time. I'll give you two.

127
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:43.440
And it was. It was so
much fun. Got several take great earl.

128
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.240
I love hearing that walking around.
Say it to me across the room.

129
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:52.320
That would be hilarious. I heard
someone ask you to say that on

130
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.240
the air this morning. You were
like, well, there's people sleeping next

131
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:58.080
to us. Yes, we were
trying to be quiet because the people next

132
00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:00.679
to us in the campsite, they
were an intent. They were in an

133
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.600
RV spot, but sleeping in a
tent. We're like, okay, let's

134
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.720
try not to be too loud.
Yeah, so Frank would do his take

135
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:09.120
radio. Yeah yeah, Someone's like
take is that you? And usually if

136
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:13.080
you call me out like that,
I will shout into the mic you got

137
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.399
take radio? What is going on
man out here? Down? Yeah?

138
00:10:16.399 --> 00:10:20.200
I was like, yeah, it
was good though. It was good that

139
00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:24.080
we didn't do that. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly exactly.

140
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:26.240
So Don did give us an answer, say he's sorry he did not

141
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:30.600
activate. Had to work. Um
yeah, I saw that. Take care

142
00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:35.120
of the kids, all right,
Um he activated Wednesday instead. Brock on,

143
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:39.120
dude, I missed it. Good
good, I gotta. I don't

144
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:43.080
think I have Iszo's call signing my
ham alert. I have most of you

145
00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:46.879
guys in my hammlert, but I
know I'm missing one or two people.

146
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:50.600
I got a handle. I was
sitting inside watching TV one night last week,

147
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:54.799
like Monday or Tuesday night, and
uh yeah, I was, I

148
00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:58.600
think I was. Um, I
think I was allergies that day too,

149
00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:01.039
but I was, I was.
I was kind of taking it easy that

150
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:05.200
day, and I got a HAM
alert on my watch that Carlos was activating

151
00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:09.440
PODA. So I came out here
and turned on the seventy seven hundred and

152
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:13.960
tuned to his band, and he
was like a five one five two he

153
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.720
was. I could hear him.
He was clear, but he was not

154
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:18.440
very loud, and uh, and
I keyed down. I said, Keilo,

155
00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.080
trollie five, whiskey bob, bravo, and he came right back to

156
00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.200
me, Hey man, how are
you doing? So so got got him

157
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.799
in the log book. That was
fun. So I like to like to

158
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:31.960
try that whenever I'm whenever I'm at
home in front of a radio, and

159
00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:35.960
well, of course I've always goten
radio hooked up. So when whenever I'm

160
00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:37.519
at home and I get a hammlert
on somebody, I like to pick him

161
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.240
up when I can. Am I
a bad Ham? I don't have ham

162
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:45.720
alert set up? Yeah, yes, yes, I just don't have a

163
00:11:45.799 --> 00:11:48.200
radio. Like if I had a
radio, he could well do it and

164
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:54.440
do something about it. Great,
but it would just be more noise on

165
00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:58.919
my phone that I'd be like,
oh that's awesome. I can't do anything

166
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.639
about it. Yeah, so I
there is kind of an excuse. But

167
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:07.480
you can throw some shame at me
for that, but I do I do

168
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.879
want to get ham alert going so
one my yeah, well I have my

169
00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.000
station up yeah close. Um,
I could jump on the bands and be

170
00:12:16.080 --> 00:12:20.480
like, hey, what's going right
and everybody, my lord said, anyone

171
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.440
in Alaska will be in my hand
alerts right. Well, you can.

172
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.919
You can put regions in there,
you can put calls. I just put

173
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:31.480
call signs. I just I just
hunt Colt signs. So like anyone out

174
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:37.480
doing PODA. So every Saturday night
when Josh starts his after chat and starts

175
00:12:37.759 --> 00:12:39.799
get and gets on FT eight,
my my Hamdlert starts blowing up with that.

176
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:45.240
So um. But that's that's good
because I really like to uh,

177
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.840
I like to hunt PODO, but
I like to make contacts with people I

178
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:52.360
know as well, so I like
using it that way. So yeah,

179
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:58.240
I picked up the radio that I
wanted to pick up at Belton YEP.

180
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.639
This is a four eight h check. It is the two hundred Blotton model.

181
00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:05.600
So I'm going to try to get
this thing installed in the truck this

182
00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.639
week before I leave for the More
Expo on Thursday morning. Very much like

183
00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:13.159
to have this installed in the truck. We'll see if I get complete with

184
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.600
it. I want to know,
I need to look and I haven't done

185
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:20.960
that yet. I need to look
on Lido Mounts's website all of my mounts.

186
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.279
We talked about this a little bit
on Hayden's stream two hours ago.

187
00:13:24.639 --> 00:13:26.639
If you guys didn't see Hayden's stream, he did ask an Elmer for some

188
00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:30.519
more radio set up stuff. It
was. It was a fun stream to

189
00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:33.440
be on. Oh I saw about
that. I had something going on.

190
00:13:33.519 --> 00:13:37.440
I can't think of what it was, but I would love to join it.

191
00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:39.679
Yeah, it was. It was
good. I got on there about

192
00:13:39.679 --> 00:13:45.919
five o'clock my time. And anyway, so I told I said, all

193
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:48.639
of my mounts in my truck are
Ledo mounts, so I need to find

194
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:52.320
out if a Liedo mount has I
don't know if they have one or not

195
00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:58.639
for this TS four eighty head,
but that'll be on the list of things

196
00:13:58.679 --> 00:14:01.600
to do. So. But yeah, I was able to pick up the

197
00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.279
radio that I wanted. This was
the one radio that I was after.

198
00:14:05.919 --> 00:14:11.840
I wasn't able to pick it up
the other thing I got that I was

199
00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:18.000
not after. It was not really
not really looking for How did this even

200
00:14:18.039 --> 00:14:20.799
come on your radar? At first? I was just I just like to

201
00:14:20.840 --> 00:14:24.679
walk around the show and look and
see what's good, because I'm always like

202
00:14:24.759 --> 00:14:33.240
on the lookout for a deal or
something unique, something that I haven't seen

203
00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.039
before, or maybe I haven't seen
in a long time, or something I

204
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:39.759
haven't never heard of before, which
is kind of rare. But some of

205
00:14:39.759 --> 00:14:43.240
the older stuff. I found a
really beautiful Collins radio. In fact,

206
00:14:43.240 --> 00:14:46.720
I'm gonna show you guys some Collins
and some Viking stuff that I that I

207
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:50.519
ran into this weekend that I did
not buy. Did not buy any of

208
00:14:50.559 --> 00:14:52.759
that. But if you look at
this right here, they can't hear you

209
00:14:52.840 --> 00:14:58.519
right now, Frank, just heads
up. That's my yazu FT seven thirty

210
00:14:58.559 --> 00:15:01.600
six R. And it is a
very clean radio that I bought from a

211
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:05.480
friend of mine named Craig. He
lives up in Oklahoma City, and I

212
00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:11.799
bought it a two or three years
ago something like that, and I love

213
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:13.879
it. I love It's only twenty
five watts on two meters. But it

214
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:18.000
doesn't have a tone board, so
I can't activate repeaters with it. I

215
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:22.120
can't, I can't. You can. You can add and remove toneboards to

216
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.600
those things. Let me get Frank
back over here. There it is,

217
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:26.879
but that one didn't have a tone
board, so I kind of quit using

218
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.759
it a while back, and I
started using my FT eight forty seven,

219
00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:35.039
which is right there for local repeaters
around the area. Well, I was

220
00:15:35.120 --> 00:15:41.120
walking through the flea market outside on
Friday and there was a guy that had

221
00:15:41.159 --> 00:15:48.240
now the great thing about the Hey, there's Roy Mercer. That's Val.

222
00:15:48.919 --> 00:15:54.120
Hey, I added Val in the
chat. Sorry, Val. But so

223
00:15:56.320 --> 00:16:00.759
I was walking through the flea market
on Friday and I saw a guy with

224
00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.840
a seven thirty six R and it
was not quite as clean as this,

225
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:06.960
and I was talking to him about
it. We've talked about the great thing

226
00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:10.559
about the seven thirty six R is
it's modular. It'll take up to four

227
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:17.200
band modules two meters for forty to
twenty six meters and one point two giga

228
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:21.879
hurts. How can you explain I
heard that thing before saying it was modular.

229
00:16:22.000 --> 00:16:25.000
What does it mean? What it
is modular? It means it means

230
00:16:25.120 --> 00:16:27.600
like for every band you can take, you can open up the radio and

231
00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:32.919
you can pull this module out and
that's what adds the band to that radio.

232
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:37.639
So the radio comes with two meters
and for forty and it comes with

233
00:16:37.720 --> 00:16:42.039
two extra slots that you can add, so you can add two twenty all

234
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:45.679
mode. You can add six meter
all mode, you can add one point

235
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:48.240
two giga Hurts all mode. They
might have a they might have a ten

236
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:51.799
me I'm not sure if they have
a ten meters. Can you stack the

237
00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:56.799
modules? Oh, you can only
use one at a time. You can

238
00:16:56.799 --> 00:17:00.440
only use one at a time.
Yeah, I think you can use one

239
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.600
at a time. But they're all
mode. It's not just FM, so

240
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:07.759
you can use sideband. That's what's
great about it's it's it's sideband. I

241
00:17:07.759 --> 00:17:11.000
don't know if they have nine hundred
megaherts on. I was asking that question

242
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.799
this weekend and I never did find
I never did find an answer. I

243
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.319
don't know if they have nine hundred
megahurts, but that would be great because

244
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:21.960
then there you can you can get
on sideband with that too. So I

245
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.599
ran across a seven thirty six R
with four modules in it two meters and

246
00:17:26.599 --> 00:17:30.519
for forty which your standard plus the
two twenty plus the one point two giga

247
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.640
Hurts. Now that one's kind of
rare, and a lot of times those

248
00:17:34.720 --> 00:17:41.160
modules you when you I found a
two twenty module on eBay that was sold.

249
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.200
I couldn't find anything that was for
sale. I found. I looked

250
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.519
at the sold items and the last
one and this was like two years ago,

251
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:52.079
and I found a two twenty module
and it was like three hundred and

252
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.400
fifty three seventy five something like that, and it's sold for that much,

253
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.000
and I'm like, man, that's
that's almost what I paid for the whole

254
00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:03.440
radio. So I was why,
and Val was telling me that, um

255
00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.720
okay, Val says, there's no, there's no nine hundred for the seven

256
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:08.920
thirty six R. I I didn't
think so, but I couldn't remember the

257
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:18.640
answer that question. Val Val was
an expert on antique radios, um so

258
00:18:18.880 --> 00:18:22.000
I was. And Val was saying
that the one point two giga hurts module,

259
00:18:22.039 --> 00:18:26.160
which is also all mode so you
can do sideband on one point two

260
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:30.079
gear hurts, which is cool.
That one's like goes for like five or

261
00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.839
six hundred bucks on eBay. Well, I found a radio the guy was

262
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:37.759
asking and again it didn't look as
clean as this one here, but the

263
00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.720
guy it had two meters for forty
two twenty and one point two and the

264
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.599
guy was asking eight hundred dollars for
it. And I might shoot. Man,

265
00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:48.559
the two extra modules in there that
you don't get in the in the

266
00:18:48.599 --> 00:18:53.160
standard radio are worth more than that. So I bought it, and I'm

267
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:56.680
going to take the two modules out, the two twenty one point two.

268
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:00.079
I'm gonna put it in my nice
clean looking radio and I probably sell the

269
00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.319
other one. But that was a
that was a really cool fine this weekend

270
00:19:04.359 --> 00:19:10.039
because it was not something I was
looking for. The seven thirty six R

271
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:14.359
as a really cool yazoo Ft seven
thirty six R. If you don't know

272
00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:18.119
what it is, go look it
up. Um it was one of the

273
00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:25.279
original desktop vhf UHF all mode radios, long before the ninety seven hundred existed.

274
00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:29.440
And um, and it's and and
the and I really like those modular

275
00:19:29.480 --> 00:19:36.200
designs that some of the some of
them companies did back then. But but

276
00:19:36.319 --> 00:19:38.359
that was pretty cool. So so
that those were the two things I got

277
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:42.799
and I trade I I did not. I took my yazoo Ft eight one

278
00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:47.000
eight, my Japanese version that I
did the lunchtime live stream on a few

279
00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:48.640
weeks back. I took it up
there. I did not sell it.

280
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:52.319
So I'm gonna I'm gonna be posting
that online for sale. If anyone's interested

281
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:57.119
in that, shoot me an email
and I took on trade Yazoo FtM three

282
00:19:57.279 --> 00:20:02.880
fifty, which is the older version
Yazoo dual band. It's the one with

283
00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:06.880
a really large, beautiful looking screen. I haven't powered it up yet or

284
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.720
looked at it, but I took
that on trade, and I'm probably just

285
00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:11.720
gonna sell that one too. I
don't have a need for It's a good

286
00:20:11.799 --> 00:20:15.000
radio, I just don't have a
need for it. Um So I've got

287
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:18.559
a couple couple more things to sell. I sold my IC seventy two hundred.

288
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:23.119
I sold my So what else did
I sell? So? Something else

289
00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:29.880
I tried. I traded my motor
rolla in for a little bit of money

290
00:20:29.920 --> 00:20:33.279
off this TS four eighty. And
there was something else I sold. I

291
00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:34.799
can't remember what it was. What
else I had on the table right now,

292
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:38.599
but sold a couple of things.
It was at the eight one eight.

293
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:49.559
No, did you have any not
filters, um scopes and band scope

294
00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:56.079
like a psiloscope, not a psiloscope, but a like a antenna analyzer.

295
00:20:56.279 --> 00:20:59.400
Someone came by and we have one. I was like, no, I

296
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:03.279
don't think we have no. No, no, uh no analyzers. I'd

297
00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:10.359
like to point out in the chat
R Field Tech upgraded to extra Friday.

298
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:15.960
Oh nice, very very cool.
Congrats, congrats man. So yeah,

the seven thirty six R and you guys,

301
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:30.079
I'll do a video about that later
on. I'll probably do a video

302
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:34.440
when I change out the modules and
whatnot. So, um, I did

303
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:37.759
Oscar, I did like the seventy
two hundred. I just I don't use

304
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:42.599
it. I just I need to
kind of downsize some stuff. Um,

305
00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:47.559
the seventy two hundreds great. I
have a seventy three hundred that I haven't

306
00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:49.079
used in a year. I haven't
used a seventy three hundred since I got

307
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:53.319
my FTD X ten. And I
just I don't know, I don't I

308
00:21:53.359 --> 00:21:57.200
don't need I don't need all those
all those radios sitting around. So I'm

309
00:21:57.200 --> 00:22:00.519
not selling my seventy three hundred.
I'm keeping that one. I'm hoping one

310
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:03.799
of these days to get a ninety
seven hundred to kind of pair with it.

311
00:22:03.880 --> 00:22:07.160
But you know, we'll see.
I don't know, but yeah,

312
00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:10.440
seventy two hundreds of great radio love. It did a couple of photo activations

313
00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:12.799
with it. Good, uh good, good, clean sounding radio. But

314
00:22:14.039 --> 00:22:15.440
I just didn't didn't need it anymore, so I get rid of it.

315
00:22:18.480 --> 00:22:22.319
Let's see him trying to watch the
chat here. You know who's like hanging

316
00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.319
around right now? Who's Mike?
I don't know, I don't know,

317
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.440
worried. I haven't heard from him
today. Yeah, and uh, we

318
00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:34.279
still got his jacket which out.
If he doesn't claim it, I'm gonna

319
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:37.319
be given it away. That's right, that's right. One of my live

320
00:22:37.400 --> 00:22:45.400
streams have a k A m r
D hoodie, um Bucky's hoodie previously warned

321
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:49.799
and us by k m r D, worn one time, worn one time

322
00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:55.160
by k D m r D.
Hey he left it in the trailer,

323
00:22:55.240 --> 00:23:02.759
so and I claimed that k Yeah, all right, let's uh oh oh.

324
00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:07.160
I bought something at the ham Fest, did Okay? I did.

325
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:14.240
This is the first actual amateur radio
them to purchase at the ham Fest.

326
00:23:14.759 --> 00:23:18.240
As you you known in the past. I bought in like trained stuff that

327
00:23:18.279 --> 00:23:22.799
I've seen. Um, but I
actually bought cable jumpers about one foot in

328
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:29.640
length for HF and using on band
pass filters, so I can. I'm

329
00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:33.160
starting to I want to start playing
with band pass filters. And I got

330
00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:37.119
a couple ideas on how to use
them and some other things. And I

331
00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:40.960
needed some jumpers, so I saw
um Abr, I said that right,

332
00:23:41.039 --> 00:23:45.200
yeah, Abr there and uh,
I picked up a couple of those cables,

333
00:23:45.200 --> 00:23:49.519
man, and I really like their
cables that they build in the um

334
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:56.640
bear day filter on on to the
cable. That it's a choke they build

335
00:23:56.680 --> 00:24:02.400
in a choke. It's a choke. Yeah, a fair rite beat choke.

336
00:24:02.599 --> 00:24:04.279
Yeah. Yeah, that that's pretty
sick. You said Faraday. You

337
00:24:04.279 --> 00:24:07.200
meant fair right, but yeah,
I know what you're talking about. Yeah,

338
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:10.480
fair it's a fairrete beat choke they
build into it. Yeah that's awesome.

339
00:24:10.519 --> 00:24:14.920
So is that supposed to choke out
the RF feeding back into the cable?

340
00:24:15.119 --> 00:24:18.960
It helps with that, yeah,
yeah, it helps with the with

341
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:22.799
RF coming back in, and it
kind of helps with noise reduction as well.

342
00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:27.519
So you don't know, um,
you don't. You don't ness,

343
00:24:27.599 --> 00:24:30.000
you don't one hundred percent need that
all the time, but it does help.

344
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:37.440
So yes, Dennis correct Um says
I should have picked up that cool

345
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.319
skull that posted. I don't know
what's going off my Twitter. I've been

346
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:47.039
getting notifications from everything except about what
my Twitter account is actually People are posting

347
00:24:47.039 --> 00:24:49.400
and replying, so I don't know
what's going on. I posted a picture

348
00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:52.440
and I heard nothing back from it, so I thought the picture flopped,

349
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:57.119
but apparently it did very well,
and it was a picture of Ah,

350
00:24:57.160 --> 00:25:02.440
you're just not gettingifications from it.
Well, I'm getting notifications. But it's

351
00:25:02.440 --> 00:25:04.880
like, hey, Jason posted,
go ahead and look at what he's doing.

352
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:07.880
And so and so posted, and
so and so that he might not

353
00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.440
so and so that you haven't friended
or followed, but you might like,

354
00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:17.640
but anyone someone at replies me or
you know, those are not coming through.

355
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:21.920
That's weird. Okay, I don't
know. So if y'all, if

356
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:25.720
y'all replied to that, I usually
try to look, but I I'm sorry,

357
00:25:25.880 --> 00:25:30.039
Like right now, my phone says
there's nothing. Oh oh and something

358
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:37.680
sad happened. What I dropped my
phone? Oh yeah, you did drop

359
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.599
your phone. He took his He
took his phone off out of the case

360
00:25:41.680 --> 00:25:45.799
to put it on the h the
gimbal, the Osmo gimbal, and well

361
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:51.079
dropped it because I forgot this phone
case. This phone case is green and

362
00:25:51.119 --> 00:25:56.279
it has it built in. Yeah, so this phone case does not and

363
00:25:56.359 --> 00:26:00.240
it's extra thick. And I could
drop this phone case on submit and be

364
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.960
fine. But I had it out
because the the the clamp does it clamp

365
00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.680
on? Here? I can literally
torque the phone out of the clamp.

366
00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.839
So that's why, Yeah, I
bought this guy. Yeah, and um,

367
00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.000
I forgot it. And then this
is why I forget for forgetting it.

368
00:26:18.079 --> 00:26:22.920
I cracked the screen. It's hard
to see. Not too bad though,

369
00:26:22.960 --> 00:26:26.960
I'm just gonna live with it.
It has another couple of years left.

370
00:26:27.920 --> 00:26:30.640
I see Whiskey seven back roads in
the chat. What's up, Brent?

371
00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:33.000
Are you going to more Expo?
I can't remember if you said you

372
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:38.960
were not so, but good to
see in the chat regardless Um to answer

373
00:26:40.279 --> 00:26:45.960
of hand radio crafts courses, Josh
was never I'm not paying or the blue

374
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.039
chat mark. I am disappointed.
I wanted to get the blue chat mark.

375
00:26:51.079 --> 00:26:55.640
I think I just started hitting the
recommended level of followers to get the

376
00:26:55.640 --> 00:26:57.400
blue check mark, and now they
took it away. I got a blue

377
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.079
check mark a few months back.
I went through the steps and then that

378
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.160
was before you had to pay for
it, So I forgot the date.

379
00:27:04.480 --> 00:27:07.599
I think it expires like the end
of this month or something. Yeah,

380
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.519
they're gonna pull all the old blue
check marks. Then then all the current

381
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:17.200
check marks are the ones that paid
for it, right right, right?

382
00:27:17.839 --> 00:27:21.400
So very yeah, Oh well,
I don't know. I might pay for

383
00:27:21.440 --> 00:27:22.440
it, depends on him. I
don't know how much it's gonna cost.

384
00:27:22.880 --> 00:27:26.599
Eight dollars a month, a month, a month, I don't know.

385
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.200
I thought I thought it was like
twenty bucks a year or someone. Nope,

386
00:27:30.319 --> 00:27:33.200
nope, it's eight dollars a month, and it can go up depending

387
00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:38.000
on what features you want with the
blue check mark. Now, and I

388
00:27:38.079 --> 00:27:45.000
understand running things like a business,
but I see so many advertisements on Twitter

389
00:27:45.079 --> 00:27:48.759
as is they should be able to
pay for their servers, especially with the

390
00:27:48.839 --> 00:27:52.920
huge reduction and staff that they did. All right, I'm done being criticized

391
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:57.200
them. Size them. Kyle's gonna
make his own blue check mark, just

392
00:27:57.200 --> 00:28:03.079
so everybody knows, no what we
should do that please please copy the blue

393
00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:11.000
check mark. That's pretty good.
So Brett says he's going to the Expo

394
00:28:11.200 --> 00:28:15.480
East this year. I certainly want
to. I got to. I've got

395
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:17.880
a conflict on that, so I'm
not sure my schedule in that yet.

396
00:28:17.880 --> 00:28:22.359
Expo East Overland Expo is a series
of shows they have five, I think

397
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:29.000
throughout the throughout the nation. So
Expo East is in Virginia, Expo Mountain

398
00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:33.000
is in Colorado this year Overland.
Yeah, because I asked Brent if he

399
00:28:33.079 --> 00:28:37.160
was going to the more Expo this
next weekend, which is an Overland show.

400
00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:41.000
So I will be teaching a class
about how to get into how to

401
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:45.119
get started in ham radio at this
Overland show next year. So and I

402
00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.240
did that last year too, so
they asked me to do it again this

403
00:28:48.319 --> 00:28:56.000
year. So kind of kind of
prostalytizing if you can use that word.

404
00:28:56.000 --> 00:28:59.599
If you grew up in church,
you know what that means. Prostalytizing and

405
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:03.359
if angelizing for him radio at the
Overland Show this weekend, that's a good

406
00:29:03.759 --> 00:29:07.279
Jason. Yeah, thank you.
You earned that two dollar word today.

407
00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:11.559
That's right. Um. The door
Chick has a great point about the blue

408
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.599
check marks have verification by known people, but now any check back went to

409
00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:19.119
a few dollars can get it.
Well, it's true. That was the

410
00:29:19.119 --> 00:29:22.079
point of no, no, no, no, that was she's right,

411
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:26.160
she's she's she's actually she's very very
right. Very Also, I want to

412
00:29:26.200 --> 00:29:33.359
point out her cookie brownie that she
brought us. Thank you. Thank you.

413
00:29:33.640 --> 00:29:41.400
She made They're called Brookies brownie cookie
things, so she she made those

414
00:29:41.480 --> 00:29:44.599
so forest and they're good. They
were good. So Michael, thank you

415
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:48.279
for the super Chat. Buddy,
Katie eight gi ja. I think I'm

416
00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:52.079
reading that right, just because it's
been a while. Prestakeet the super Chat,

417
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:55.839
all right, So um so,
yeah, so this is something I

418
00:29:55.880 --> 00:30:00.759
saw that I did not buy.
Okay, so my wife is in the

419
00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:04.599
chat. No, I didn't buy
anything, and you're pointing out stuff that

420
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:10.079
you could have bought. Now,
I could have bought this Happy I have

421
00:30:10.240 --> 00:30:14.240
wanted a Johnson Viking two for years. I saw it. I got my

422
00:30:14.279 --> 00:30:17.720
brother in law, actually, my
wife's brother brought me some of these old

423
00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:21.559
QST magazines a while back. Somebody
in his neighborhood was getting rid of him

424
00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:23.400
and he's like, hey, those
are ham radio stuff. Should reach out

425
00:30:23.440 --> 00:30:26.920
to my brother in law. And
I got these boxes and boxes of QST

426
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.079
magazines dating back to like the sixties. I think one of them was like

427
00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:34.880
from nineteen forty eight. So I
kept the one that was my birth month

428
00:30:34.880 --> 00:30:37.960
in the year and one of the
and I know, I'm just flipping through

429
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:41.319
them kind of at random, and
I saw this Johnson Viking two when it

430
00:30:41.359 --> 00:30:45.759
was brand new, is like a
fifties or sixties QST, and I'm like,

431
00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:51.359
um, that is uh, that
is just a beautiful freaking radio for

432
00:30:51.839 --> 00:30:56.559
that vintage, for that era.
It's just a beautiful This one looked brand

433
00:30:56.839 --> 00:31:00.119
spank and new. It just it
was. It was this guy, I

434
00:31:00.119 --> 00:31:03.240
wanted five hundred bucks for this thing. It looked brand new. It looks

435
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:07.599
beautiful. Man, It's it's just
a neat looking radio and all the so

436
00:31:07.839 --> 00:31:11.319
this you said this was an amplifier. No, no, no, this

437
00:31:11.359 --> 00:31:14.440
is the radio. This is the
radio. It's it's it's tube driven,

438
00:31:14.720 --> 00:31:17.319
so you gotta just the plate and
the current and all that good stuff,

439
00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:21.240
which I think would be a fun
video because I'm not exactly one hundred percent

440
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:22.559
sure how to work a radio like
that. I kind of know, but

441
00:31:22.640 --> 00:31:26.720
not. I'm sure that somebody knows
better than I do. But um,

442
00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:30.000
but that I think that'd be a
fun video. I think Josh has a

443
00:31:30.079 --> 00:31:33.799
video on how to do a two
amplifier. So he got a two bamplifi.

444
00:31:33.920 --> 00:31:37.920
Don't you have to turn it on
for like ten minutes and let the

445
00:31:37.920 --> 00:31:40.359
twobes warm up? Some of them, some of them. You have to

446
00:31:40.400 --> 00:31:42.559
do that, yes, yeah,
yeah, there's a Yeah, there's a

447
00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:47.079
reason they're called shack warmers. Anyway, anyway, this was a radio.

448
00:31:47.160 --> 00:31:49.240
So guy wanted five hundred bucks for
it. I got his contact info.

449
00:31:49.559 --> 00:31:52.559
He didn't sell it. He I
saw him boxing it up yesterday and I'm

450
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:56.920
like, I don't know, it's
a big radio, but it's just beautiful.

451
00:31:57.079 --> 00:32:00.960
Now. The really cool thing that
was the park this morning. This

452
00:32:01.079 --> 00:32:07.319
sucker. This is this was the
ultra cool piece. This is a Viking

453
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:14.839
thunderbolt. This this is the amplifier. Yeah, and he claims it'll do

454
00:32:15.000 --> 00:32:19.279
a thousand watts on CW, which
means it should probably do a thousand watts

455
00:32:19.319 --> 00:32:25.119
on FT eight seven hundred and fifty
watts on AM and two thousand wats on

456
00:32:25.200 --> 00:32:30.440
sideband, which is which is not
legal. So I would never do that.

457
00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:36.119
I would uh yeah, okay,
Okay, Josh, thanks man.

458
00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:37.359
Yeah, copy the two. Yeah, Josh has it. Josh has a

459
00:32:37.440 --> 00:32:42.920
video on how to tune a two
bamp um eleven. If I'm not mistaken,

460
00:32:42.920 --> 00:32:45.720
correct me if I'm wrong on that
um. But yeah, he's he

461
00:32:45.759 --> 00:32:47.079
did a really good video on how
to how to set all that stuff on

462
00:32:47.119 --> 00:32:51.000
it because the transistor am but kPa
five hundred I have. I just go

463
00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.240
click, turn on. Okay,
we're done, Key up and go.

464
00:32:54.599 --> 00:32:58.640
Two bamps are a little bit more. There's a few more steps to It's

465
00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:00.119
not hard, you just got to
know what to do. So but this

466
00:33:00.160 --> 00:33:05.599
thunderbolt, man, this thing looked
brand spanking new. And here's the coolest

467
00:33:05.599 --> 00:33:09.759
part about the thunderbolt. It takes
ten watts to drive it. He said

468
00:33:09.759 --> 00:33:14.839
it would kick a thousand watts on
CW with a ten watt drive. And

469
00:33:14.880 --> 00:33:16.599
I asked him. I was like, hey, so is it a proprietary

470
00:33:16.599 --> 00:33:21.000
cable to go from the Viking uh, the Viking radio to the amp?

471
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:23.839
Or is it Uh? He's like, no, you can drive it with

472
00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:30.359
anything. So you could take your
cakes to drive this thing with ten watts

473
00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:36.519
kick a thousand wats CW two thousand
wat side band, or you could get

474
00:33:36.599 --> 00:33:39.400
really really creative and do it with
like a freaking a G ninety or an

475
00:33:39.480 --> 00:33:44.319
X sixty one hundred and say thousand
watts of Chinese talking power. Baby,

476
00:33:46.200 --> 00:33:53.960
but uh yeah, Chinese signal,
American American power, American American made amplification.

477
00:33:54.119 --> 00:33:59.039
So so I go back to the
the your your previous one. The

478
00:33:59.640 --> 00:34:05.599
radio. That's the radio. I
can't fathom with all those knobs do well.

479
00:34:05.599 --> 00:34:08.280
One of them is a band change, one of them is UM tuning,

480
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:15.880
UM, one of them's volume.
Of course there's mode. There's a

481
00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:21.000
mode knob for it because it would
do c W single. I think it'll

482
00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:27.000
do c W AM and single sideband
and UM. Yeah. And there's there's

483
00:34:27.000 --> 00:34:30.320
a few others in there. There's
like a plate tuning and and a current

484
00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:32.159
plate and all that kind of tube
stuff with it. But you only have

485
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:39.679
two two UM dials for feedback.
I'm just so amazed by this. Yeah,

486
00:34:39.719 --> 00:34:43.400
it's just it's just crazy. Yes, uh Ralph, Yes, the

487
00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:45.599
thunderbolt is two twenty. There's a
two hundred and twenty bolt. And I

488
00:34:45.639 --> 00:34:49.320
asked the guy. I said like, hey, how much does it weigh?

489
00:34:49.400 --> 00:34:53.840
And he's like it's heavy. I
mean obviously you know I am not

490
00:34:54.000 --> 00:34:58.039
sipping this to you. Yeah right, no, no, no, no.

491
00:34:58.639 --> 00:35:01.199
This guy was in Belton, so
presumably he's in text. I didn't

492
00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:04.679
ask him where he's from. I
got his call signed. I was like,

493
00:35:04.760 --> 00:35:07.639
do you have email? He goes, yeah, So it's very possible

494
00:35:07.719 --> 00:35:09.119
that I'm going to contact this dude
and be like, dude, I need

495
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:14.320
to come get that, come get
that from you sometime. So. But

496
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:16.280
but the other thing I found,
and let me, let me, let

497
00:35:16.320 --> 00:35:20.360
me, let me switch this up. I'm gonna make sure I get the

498
00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:22.239
right picture here, and I didn't. And now, who in the who

499
00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:25.480
in the room is a Collins guy? Any Collins guys in at Collins,

500
00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:29.920
old Collins guys in the room.
I think it's more than seventy pounds,

501
00:35:30.000 --> 00:35:34.360
Jody, because my old uh my
uh al twelve hundred amratronic app is seventy

502
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:38.360
pounds. I think it's more than
that. Um, So anybody is anyone

503
00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:42.599
to call it besides Val? I
know VAL's a Collins guy, but um,

504
00:35:42.639 --> 00:35:46.599
anybody at Collins got old Collins.
Drake's old Collins. He has a

505
00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:51.239
Collins. That guy with a big
antenna, No, this is my immediate

506
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.199
next door neighbor. Oh they guy
with the big antenna has everything stayed the

507
00:35:54.320 --> 00:36:00.599
art Okay, So I gotta I
gotta somewhat crash course. Copyright strip by

508
00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:07.559
Josh about Collins gear this um this
weekend from a guy who had uh,

509
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:10.159
I'm gonna forget the model number right
now, but he had a transmitter and

510
00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:14.320
receiver. He had two of them. Um, he had a transmitter and

511
00:36:14.320 --> 00:36:21.840
receiver looked brand spank and new,
beautiful, beautifully restored m radios that just

512
00:36:21.880 --> 00:36:23.400
looked great. And he had two
of mean trend as like okay, so

513
00:36:23.440 --> 00:36:27.320
tell me about this when he's like
this and this and this, and he

514
00:36:27.400 --> 00:36:30.840
talked to me for like fifteen twenty
minutes on Friday on set up day on

515
00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:36.559
Friday, and um, you know, I was like, I was interested.

516
00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:37.760
I was he was talking. I
was just letting him talk because I'm

517
00:36:37.840 --> 00:36:40.079
like, okay, this is cool. Well then he pulls in and I

518
00:36:40.079 --> 00:36:43.440
said, okay, so these are
separated. This is a transmitter receiver.

519
00:36:43.480 --> 00:36:45.480
He goes yeah, he goes hoh, he goes he goes, oh,

520
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:49.960
if you want, if you want
to see something really cool. And then

521
00:36:50.000 --> 00:36:52.679
and then he pulls this this out. Well actually he didn't pull it out.

522
00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:57.079
He opened the k He had this
in like a suitcase thing. This

523
00:36:57.159 --> 00:37:01.960
is a k w M two and
this is one of the first, if

524
00:37:02.000 --> 00:37:07.280
not the he might have said the
first or one of the first transceivers made

525
00:37:07.280 --> 00:37:13.760
by Collins. It's from night circa
nineteen sixty four five six. I don't

526
00:37:13.760 --> 00:37:16.360
remember exactly. But um, but
yeah, this is one of the first

527
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:21.760
transceivers made by Collins. And on
the bat you can't see it in the

528
00:37:21.760 --> 00:37:23.559
picture, but on the back of
this is a built in power supply,

529
00:37:24.360 --> 00:37:28.559
so you just plug it into the
wall and it's it's a it's a power

530
00:37:28.559 --> 00:37:30.719
supply that powers of radio. And
I think it's a I believe it's a

531
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.960
one hundred watt model. It'll do
um, ten meters, it'll do,

532
00:37:36.039 --> 00:37:38.320
it'll do. It will not do
your work bands. It'll do ten,

533
00:37:38.440 --> 00:37:43.679
fifteen, twenty, forty and eighty. It looks like so that's the that's

534
00:37:43.719 --> 00:37:46.719
the band. That's the exciter tuning
up at the top and the band selector

535
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:50.840
down there. I think it'll do. I think it'll do thirty and now

536
00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:54.440
it won't do sixty, seventy five, eighty. I don't think it does

537
00:37:54.480 --> 00:37:59.199
twelve, seventeen and thirty. I
think it does everything else. But but

538
00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:01.519
yeah, but that's the And this
guy wanted twelve hundred dollars for that.

539
00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:05.079
And I did get his contact info
and I'm like, you know what,

540
00:38:05.519 --> 00:38:07.800
And I have no idea that's a
good price or not. I just he

541
00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:12.920
was very, very knowledgeable in Collins
gear, and I was talking to him

542
00:38:12.920 --> 00:38:15.840
about Colin. I was just I
just like that kind of that vintage look.

543
00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:21.639
Um it looks at man, I
love that the color scheme they chose,

544
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:27.280
and Collins pops as they font plaint
they have there. If I had

545
00:38:27.280 --> 00:38:30.559
the money man, just like you, I know. Yeah, apparently you're

546
00:38:30.599 --> 00:38:34.519
gonna have some less. Uh They
chat saying lay is gonna come after you

547
00:38:34.599 --> 00:38:37.920
with a fat and your kneecaps.
So if you don't want to be any

548
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:43.360
short or paid that fee, oh
yeah, yeah, the copyright straight for

549
00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:46.880
you go uh so uh so yeah
he was, Um, he was.

550
00:38:46.960 --> 00:38:50.960
He was a He was a cool
old guy that that was selling some gear

551
00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:52.920
and and he packed that up and
he didn't sell the cat. I think

552
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:57.440
he sold to the transmitter receiver.
I think it looked like he had less

553
00:38:57.440 --> 00:38:59.960
gear on his table and when he
was leaving, but I'm pretty sure he

554
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:02.159
packed that up and took it home. So um, he's like, well,

555
00:39:02.199 --> 00:39:05.800
I take a credit card, He
goes, can I box this up

556
00:39:05.840 --> 00:39:08.599
for you? I'll take your credit
card. You're killing me, dude,

557
00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:15.360
you are killing me right now.
So Nature's Child says the hole in the

558
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:19.880
top is for a crank starter right, yeah, yeah, just about but

559
00:39:19.960 --> 00:39:22.079
no, the hole on top open. You can open up the cover and

560
00:39:22.079 --> 00:39:23.519
you can do stuff in it.
Yeah, this was back when Hams used

561
00:39:23.559 --> 00:39:29.360
to work on their own radio.
But well, a lot of replace the

562
00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:32.599
tubesh. God, I wanted to
radio. That'd be so cool to have.

563
00:39:32.960 --> 00:39:36.800
I mean, my, my,
my one oh one double right,

564
00:39:36.840 --> 00:39:38.760
there is a two radio and I
made a couple of contacts with it.

565
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:42.519
I made a couple of contacts with
it, but I don't use it extensively.

566
00:39:43.280 --> 00:39:46.519
Um so yeah, um yeah,
I thought that was some really cool

567
00:39:46.559 --> 00:39:52.719
equipment. I refrained and resisted from
buying any of the Johnson Viking stuff or

568
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:55.840
any of the calling stuff. But
I'm gonna do a little bit research on

569
00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.199
my own. I have no idea
what these things would go for online.

570
00:39:59.280 --> 00:40:01.360
I'm not trying to I'm not trying
to look at it to resell like that

571
00:40:01.440 --> 00:40:05.960
seven thirty six R I'm gonna I'm
gonna resell it without the modules in it.

572
00:40:06.360 --> 00:40:09.039
But um, but I just thought, I thought. I just thought

573
00:40:09.079 --> 00:40:13.559
that was some neat gear. And
that's the kind of thing you see at

574
00:40:13.559 --> 00:40:17.079
Belton often. Often. I saw
some guys with some Drake twins there.

575
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:22.000
Um, I didn't see anybody with
any any kin would twins this time,

576
00:40:22.039 --> 00:40:25.280
but very often I've seen guys with
kim Win nine twins, both the silver

577
00:40:25.360 --> 00:40:30.320
and the gold face. Um,
some heath kit stuff here and there.

578
00:40:30.760 --> 00:40:35.039
Um, just a bunch of bunch
of Collins a lot a lot of times

579
00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.920
Collins receivers and whatnot. So,
but that's the kind of thing you find

580
00:40:37.920 --> 00:40:40.840
it Belton. If you didn't if
you didn't make Belton this time, and

581
00:40:40.920 --> 00:40:45.920
if you're within I don't know,
i'd say a four or five hour driver,

582
00:40:45.280 --> 00:40:50.559
especially less than that. Um,
I would say, make plans to

583
00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:52.800
go to belt In next October,
because that's the kind of stuff. If

584
00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:54.400
you're looking for that kind of stuff, or if you have a bunch of

585
00:40:54.400 --> 00:41:00.440
that stuff in your garage, come
come buy a table for ten or twenty

586
00:41:00.440 --> 00:41:04.840
bucks whatever Bilton or a swat meat
by you doesn't have to be ours.

587
00:41:05.440 --> 00:41:09.400
Just go well, yeah, and
participating in your own local swat met Um.

588
00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:13.559
Yeah. You never know where you're
gonna find, and you never know

589
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:15.760
where you're gonna sell unless you go. It's true, that's true. And

590
00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:19.880
you don't even have to have a
stable. I've seen several people walking around

591
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:22.159
with bags that says asked me about
my blah blah blah. Oh yeah,

592
00:41:22.239 --> 00:41:25.920
yeah, yeah, yeah, well
you know, and I, um there

593
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:31.440
was um oh something else cool.
I saw there was guys selling UH.

594
00:41:31.480 --> 00:41:36.760
There was a guy selling uhnate fifty
seven, A couple of guys selling at

595
00:41:36.760 --> 00:41:40.320
eight fifty seven. I saw an
eight ninety seven UH for about five hundred

596
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.719
bucks. Looked with the with the
built with the external tuner that comes with

597
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:50.079
it that's made for it. Um
so at eight ninety seven was going.

598
00:41:50.079 --> 00:41:54.199
I saw a couple of guys with
I see seven thousands. Um yeah,

599
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:57.559
I almost bought, I had it. There was one guy that had an

600
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:01.280
FT twenty nine eighty, which is
a monoban FM only two meter radio from

601
00:42:01.360 --> 00:42:05.800
Yazu that does about eighty watts on
two meters, And I want to buy.

602
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.000
I want to buy something like that
that I can mount in my RV

603
00:42:08.840 --> 00:42:14.159
and just permanently and wire it to
the battery and permanently leave it there so

604
00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:16.559
that when I get when I get
to camping spots, I'll have like a

605
00:42:16.639 --> 00:42:21.320
drive over master or something. I'm
gonna probably attach something to the back bumper

606
00:42:21.760 --> 00:42:23.719
of the RV and have a push
up pull up there that I can put

607
00:42:23.800 --> 00:42:27.239
up like a two meter antenna and
then I can you know, have eighty

608
00:42:27.239 --> 00:42:30.239
watts pumping out on six top five
two. So and you just kind of

609
00:42:30.559 --> 00:42:36.440
something to monitor and talk around the
camp with in case, especially for especially

610
00:42:36.480 --> 00:42:39.639
if your RV park is at a
park's on the ERA or like you know

611
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:46.760
at Huntsville ham Fest upcoming Montisano will
be camping there again. So um but

612
00:42:46.920 --> 00:42:51.559
yeah, yeah, so I and
I saw a guy selling ones in really

613
00:42:51.599 --> 00:42:53.239
good shape. I just I didn't
want to spend any more money. I'd

614
00:42:53.239 --> 00:42:55.840
already bought the two things I'd bought
by that point in time. I was

615
00:42:55.880 --> 00:43:01.679
like, yeah, think o way, well minus one day was beautiful.

616
00:43:02.719 --> 00:43:06.440
Yeah, it was beautiful on Saturday, and it was kind of cloudy on

617
00:43:06.480 --> 00:43:08.639
Friday, and we got a little
bit of misty rain Friday afternoon for like

618
00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:15.039
this half hour it was long enough
to turn into damp this and and lots

619
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:22.800
of water everywhere. Yeah yeah,
mindus that, Um, it was it

620
00:43:22.880 --> 00:43:29.639
was great. It was awesome.
Next year mother Nerve National Park. Yes,

621
00:43:30.199 --> 00:43:35.679
I enjoyed camping at Cedar, but
it feels like it was just camping

622
00:43:35.760 --> 00:43:43.239
my backyard. Yes, but it
was fun. It was a beautiful We're

623
00:43:43.280 --> 00:43:45.440
gonna have to check for day out
far out we can, we can book

624
00:43:45.480 --> 00:43:50.440
a site there. Next when I
was walking to the restroom this morning,

625
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:54.920
there was a hidden playground like this
playground was surrounded by all the trees in

626
00:43:54.960 --> 00:43:59.719
the middle area. That was so
cool. I would have loved that as

627
00:43:59.719 --> 00:44:04.159
a Um. Yeah, great national
park, great camping grounds. Actually,

628
00:44:04.199 --> 00:44:07.679
the camping there we stayed at just
reopened. Um. They were doing a

629
00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:13.119
lot to the roadworks and things,
so that area just reopened. Um.

630
00:44:13.159 --> 00:44:17.719
It's a big national park. It's
what the closest thing we have to a

631
00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:22.880
summit, and it's not a set
Yeah, yeah, no, it's yeah,

632
00:44:22.880 --> 00:44:27.639
it's it's not unfortunately right, it
shouldn't be. Should be. It's

633
00:44:27.639 --> 00:44:30.320
the highest point in DFW for sure. That's not saying a lot, but

634
00:44:30.360 --> 00:44:32.280
it is the highest all the intend
of towers over there, I know all

635
00:44:32.320 --> 00:44:37.480
the all the Tea Intenda towers there. So I'm reading some of the Uh

636
00:44:37.599 --> 00:44:40.639
oh robertson the chat. What's up, dude? So he said he saw

637
00:44:40.679 --> 00:44:45.360
some icon books shelf transceivers. I
don't I don't know what that is.

638
00:44:45.920 --> 00:44:49.480
Icon bookshelf transceivers. I'm gonna have
to look that up. I got to

639
00:44:49.519 --> 00:44:51.800
hang with Robert and Verne a little
bit this weekend, so it was good

640
00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:57.920
to see you guys again. Um
let's see digital Dreamer says, I can't

641
00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:00.159
wait to buy one hundred and twenty
one version of the g NI, the

642
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:02.800
G one twenty X. I think
that's a joke, but that would be

643
00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:07.320
cool to see. I've never seen
anything high power come out up China.

644
00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:09.719
That's worth it, darn. I
don't think that they do high power yet.

645
00:45:09.760 --> 00:45:15.599
I bet they will. Bet they
will. So RF Field Tech,

646
00:45:15.679 --> 00:45:17.920
Don, you said you had an
FT seventy one hundred M. That's just

647
00:45:17.920 --> 00:45:22.960
collecting dust if I'm interested. I'm
not familiar with that radio, so send

648
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:27.400
me an email. Let me I'll
google it. I'll google it and see

649
00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:34.400
what that is. I was wanting
something high power vhf UM for my from

650
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:39.719
my campsite, for my UM for
my RV I should say so. Yeah,

651
00:45:39.760 --> 00:45:44.320
but yeah, a good deal.
Thanks thanks for being here. Don,

652
00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:50.039
I'm glad you're feeling better, dude, So I'm glad he's home and

653
00:45:50.039 --> 00:45:55.000
brand was up to take in the
extra tests to shame. That's right.

654
00:45:55.280 --> 00:46:00.280
Yeah, it's not hard to do, but I know Yeah, good deal.

655
00:46:00.679 --> 00:46:05.760
Good to see anime in the chat
as well. Yeah. Yeah,

656
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:08.039
so anyway, that was that was
a fact. That's the kind of stuff

657
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:15.760
you see at belt and just sometimes
sometimes you find really good deals and find

658
00:46:15.800 --> 00:46:19.440
stuff that you're just like, crap, I gotta go to the ATM now.

659
00:46:20.000 --> 00:46:25.840
Yeah. Yeah. Uh have any
broken radios for SAPE possibly bad diodes?

660
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:30.280
No, because I fixed it.
Ron thanks to yourself. Hey,

661
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:34.800
where were you guys? Is that
okay? Ron? Is that giveaway?

662
00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:37.719
And you know which one I'm talking
about? Is that happening in October?

663
00:46:38.440 --> 00:46:40.840
I think that's happening in October.
I thought you guys would have a booth

664
00:46:40.880 --> 00:46:45.760
set up there. I did some
fusion. Richard from Main Training Company had

665
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.199
a fusion node set up in his
in his RV that was on full time.

666
00:46:49.239 --> 00:46:52.320
So we got to talk on some
fusion this weekend. That was fun.

667
00:46:53.039 --> 00:47:02.199
So apparently I'm doing some digging the
icon ICEE two two bookshelf hhelf receiver.

668
00:47:02.360 --> 00:47:07.360
So the radio is vertical like a
book. Yeah, makes sense,

669
00:47:08.760 --> 00:47:14.480
And I'm not I'm still not familiar
with those models though, but yeah,

670
00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:21.079
okay, And there's a range of
models like that that you can put side

671
00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:29.440
by side and they got the nicknamed
bookshelves good. So that that's interesting today.

672
00:47:29.480 --> 00:47:32.920
I learned something right right, Okay, Ron, I need to start

673
00:47:35.559 --> 00:47:38.519
I need to start sharing that on
my Friday videos, my Friday shopping videos.

674
00:47:38.599 --> 00:47:43.079
So I thought about that the other
day for some reason, I was

675
00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:44.880
like, oh, wait a minute, I wonder if they're going to be

676
00:47:44.920 --> 00:47:52.599
here. But yeah, I saw
a couple of the guys they had they

677
00:47:52.639 --> 00:47:58.440
had an old Collins or yazy old
receiver or something sitting on the table and

678
00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:01.679
it said it was the Something Valley
Digital Radio Club, And I'm like,

679
00:48:01.719 --> 00:48:05.320
so, what what digital modes is
tho call ins to do? I thought

680
00:48:05.320 --> 00:48:07.280
that was funny. I made myself
laugh. It wasn't funny, but I

681
00:48:07.320 --> 00:48:12.000
thought it was funny. So somebody
from your neck of the woods run.

682
00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:15.239
But yeah, all right, so
Robert says, I see five O two

683
00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:17.239
two O two and four h two. I'm gonna have to look that up.

684
00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:21.840
Okay, cool, M cool.
If they're receivers, I'm less interested.

685
00:48:21.880 --> 00:48:27.519
I just don't find the thrilling receivers. But if they're trans they're transceivers.

686
00:48:27.679 --> 00:48:32.440
Okay, Um, it's just the
the series of receivers um that that

687
00:48:32.480 --> 00:48:36.480
are built like you can just stack
them on the book stack him on a

688
00:48:36.480 --> 00:48:39.079
bookshelf. Okay, yeah, cool, cool, awesome. I missed them,

689
00:48:39.119 --> 00:48:44.159
but yeah, yeah, I wouldn't
even know what I'm looking at,

690
00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:47.199
just what it would be like cool
boat anchors, right, yeah, I

691
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:52.320
mean you see those pictures of the
guys in uh in the memes or the

692
00:48:52.400 --> 00:48:54.599
QS old QST magazines, and they've
got like four or five shelves high of

693
00:48:54.679 --> 00:49:00.840
just old, vintage looking gear.
That's what I'm That's what I'm starting back

694
00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.519
here. So I gotta get a
taller shock though, because you need to

695
00:49:04.559 --> 00:49:09.719
reinforce it, right Yeah, ye
Scott hand Radio from not Techie's probably gonna

696
00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:15.239
buy FT four hundred ft M four
hundred to replace the one from the accident.

697
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:19.760
Yeah, wait for the five hundred. It's got some cool updates,

698
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:25.599
I'm told so yeah, so yeah
five So still don't they said march on

699
00:49:25.639 --> 00:49:29.039
that. But I think you'll probably
see that in another week or two.

700
00:49:29.119 --> 00:49:32.519
Actually I'm hoping to. I'm hoping
to get some info about that this week.

701
00:49:32.559 --> 00:49:37.760
We'll see, we'll see what happens
with that. But but yeah,

702
00:49:37.800 --> 00:49:42.400
anyway, so Belton was a great
show and had had a really fun time.

703
00:49:42.880 --> 00:49:45.679
I hope some of you got some
parks on the air. Activation's done

704
00:49:45.719 --> 00:49:51.159
this weekend, and lots of them
had had a good time with that.

705
00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:53.280
So, oh, here's something else
that's pretty cool. Oh no, wait

706
00:49:53.280 --> 00:49:59.280
a minute, hold on, where
did it go? I thought? I,

707
00:49:59.400 --> 00:50:00.519
Oh, well, I didn't take
a picture of it. This guy,

708
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:06.440
the guy that had the Collins gear, had an old, beautifully prestinely

709
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:12.599
restored AM radio desktop radio was like, yeah, big, about maybe fifteen

710
00:50:12.679 --> 00:50:15.840
sixteen inches wide, about foot and
a half tall, something like that,

711
00:50:16.360 --> 00:50:20.039
and it had the big dial in
the middle of it. You turned it

712
00:50:20.079 --> 00:50:23.519
and turned it AM radio. Just
very if you like that kind of old

713
00:50:23.519 --> 00:50:28.639
timey looking stuff, very vintage looking, completely restored. And I think he

714
00:50:28.679 --> 00:50:30.800
was wanting like four hundred dollars for
it because it just it looked brand spanking

715
00:50:30.880 --> 00:50:35.920
new. So something else. That
was pretty cool to see them, But

716
00:50:36.079 --> 00:50:39.639
that's just kind of the neat stuff
you see at Belton. So I like

717
00:50:39.760 --> 00:50:44.400
looking around at that stuff. I've
never bought anything, never bought any of

718
00:50:44.440 --> 00:50:47.400
that stuff yet. Well, I
do have some Kimo nine twins right there,

719
00:50:49.760 --> 00:50:52.119
and one of these days I'll get
those hook back up again. But

720
00:50:52.119 --> 00:50:58.559
yeah, before we go ahead and
sign off. Here. Let's here where

721
00:50:58.599 --> 00:51:05.559
everyone activated. While we like that
question, um, roll out because we

722
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:09.400
activated at the same place. I
what was your contact that stood out to

723
00:51:09.480 --> 00:51:16.480
you this this weekend or you you
well you think about that mind was the

724
00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:21.000
Alaska guy? Yeah, I heard, I heard the Alaska. I got

725
00:51:21.039 --> 00:51:24.599
Alaska. I was so happy.
I was like, Alaska, what's your

726
00:51:24.599 --> 00:51:30.920
park number? Oh you're just working
me from Aska. Thank you, Bat,

727
00:51:30.000 --> 00:51:35.920
You're still awesome. Yeah, yeah, I need uh, you need

728
00:51:36.000 --> 00:51:42.320
to go to a parking and call
way back. Shane activated three parks this

729
00:51:42.400 --> 00:51:46.960
weekend, seventy three, seventy eight
and thirty four twelve. So that's nice.

730
00:51:47.760 --> 00:51:51.599
So what was your standout? You
know what I didn't? You know,

731
00:51:51.599 --> 00:51:54.360
I made so few contacts. Um, but I got Puerto Rico,

732
00:51:54.559 --> 00:52:00.599
which is not that unusual. Really, UM, it's gonna be hard to

733
00:52:00.599 --> 00:52:06.159
top Australia, which I got from
Galveston last month when I was those six

734
00:52:06.239 --> 00:52:08.480
days that I went to the park
in a row. I'm calling is on

735
00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:13.400
ten meters. I'm calling c Q
and freaking Australia guy. He said Victor

736
00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:17.119
Kilo seven something something. It was
not Hayden, And I'm like did you

737
00:52:17.159 --> 00:52:23.239
say Victor Keilo. You hear it, you you hear Canada all the time,

738
00:52:23.320 --> 00:52:27.159
so what Actually I thought he said
Victor Echo at first, which is

739
00:52:27.199 --> 00:52:30.000
Canada. I'm like, did you
say Victor Echo seven? No? No,

740
00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:32.800
Victor Keiler. He was like a
four by four. He was down

741
00:52:32.800 --> 00:52:36.800
in the noise, but I could
hear him and uh, he's a Victor

742
00:52:36.880 --> 00:52:39.239
Kilo seven baba. And I'm like, you're in Australia. Yeah yeah,

743
00:52:39.239 --> 00:52:45.679
I'm I'm like, dude, that's
freaking cool. So yeah, um yeah,

744
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:49.960
ten meter on fire anime, very
very true. So yeah, um

745
00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:52.800
yeah, it's gonna be hard to
top that one, but yeah, that

746
00:52:52.920 --> 00:52:55.519
was that one. That was that
was fun to do. Shane said he

747
00:52:55.639 --> 00:53:01.559
worked Scotland and France today and got
his park to park from Alaska. Good.

748
00:53:02.960 --> 00:53:07.119
Jealous, that's cool. Jealous,
that's cool. I worked Scotland in

749
00:53:07.159 --> 00:53:10.719
France on ten meters from Galveston.
Also, I got several several stations in

750
00:53:12.280 --> 00:53:16.719
England or Manchester that we're at a
park and then I got just somebody,

751
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:21.760
some random guy in Scotland and then
in uh, one guy in France,

752
00:53:21.760 --> 00:53:27.239
one guy in Italy, the guy
in Australia, and UH, a couple

753
00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:31.960
of South of It Chile. Um, I didn't get Venezuela. Venezuela's fairly

754
00:53:32.079 --> 00:53:38.719
easy to get from UH from Galveston. If there's somebody on the air,

755
00:53:39.039 --> 00:53:43.159
I gotta, I gotta. I
got a Mexican station with an x ray

756
00:53:43.280 --> 00:53:47.079
foxtrot call, which is unusual most
of Mexican stations I hear x ray echo

757
00:53:47.119 --> 00:53:51.800
calls. So I got an x
ray foxtrot call on ten minute. This

758
00:53:51.840 --> 00:53:54.000
was all on ten meters when I
was in Galveston last month. So yeah,

759
00:53:54.039 --> 00:53:59.519
ten meters is freaking awesome right now. So I was hoping that ten

760
00:53:59.559 --> 00:54:01.840
meters was going to be great this
weekend, and I was very disappointed that

761
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:06.480
that it was not any good,
not where we were anyway. Wayne W

762
00:54:06.719 --> 00:54:14.079
five w n R said he activated
four four two two, Um, so

763
00:54:14.119 --> 00:54:19.679
awesome there. But Serena activated her
first park nice, so that's cool.

764
00:54:21.599 --> 00:54:29.480
Um then I'm just trying to read
through these. Yeah, oh that's cool.

765
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:34.360
Digital Dreamer says he worked two VK
stations with one wat of power on

766
00:54:34.400 --> 00:54:38.639
his G ninety. Oh wow,
very cool. That's that's working it,

767
00:54:39.039 --> 00:54:44.440
you know it. All you need
is a good antenna, a favorable band

768
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:47.599
conditions. One what would get you
around the world? One what would get

769
00:54:47.639 --> 00:54:53.679
you the long distance um echo where
you can hear yourself. You just need

770
00:54:53.719 --> 00:55:00.840
a good antenna and a favorable day
to do it. So Emily, Emily,

771
00:55:00.960 --> 00:55:04.239
my wife, Emily, she was
asking me, She's like, would

772
00:55:04.239 --> 00:55:07.320
you like would you like let me? Not let me? She I think

773
00:55:07.400 --> 00:55:08.599
she said, do you want me
to activate Poda? And I'm like,

774
00:55:08.679 --> 00:55:12.360
yeah, sure, yeah, We'll
get you out and get you activate PODA

775
00:55:12.519 --> 00:55:15.360
show on her of her own accord. She goes onto the Poda website and

776
00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:22.519
creates her own account with her call
sign, and then she she was this

777
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:25.960
is great, this is I love, this is great. So today she's

778
00:55:25.960 --> 00:55:30.559
a Facebook lurker. Okay, she
goes she joins these Facebook groups and reads

779
00:55:30.559 --> 00:55:34.639
through them and sometimes she'll comment,
but she's she's a Facebook lurker. So

780
00:55:34.679 --> 00:55:37.880
she's on the Poda the Parks on
the Air Facebook group. Now she joined

781
00:55:37.920 --> 00:55:42.280
the group. She's reading through and
everything and she's like, so I read

782
00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:45.519
something today and I'm like okay,
and she's like, Apparently it's a heated

783
00:55:45.599 --> 00:55:51.840
debate about whether you should clear out
on a frequency if you're activating parks on

784
00:55:51.840 --> 00:55:53.320
the air you should clear out if
there's a net about to start. I'm

785
00:55:53.360 --> 00:56:01.320
like, oh boy, oh,
my answer is she said, someone's currently

786
00:56:01.360 --> 00:56:08.039
working the band. They not own, but they're the rightful operator correct time,

787
00:56:08.400 --> 00:56:14.639
and any other station should move and
let that person work the bands because

788
00:56:14.639 --> 00:56:19.360
you're causing interference. So she's a
she said. She said, one guy

789
00:56:19.400 --> 00:56:22.320
came by and says, you should
you should look up all the HF nets

790
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:25.280
and not ever work any of those
frequencies, and and she said that.

791
00:56:25.320 --> 00:56:29.880
All all the replies to that guy
were like, no, that's dumb,

792
00:56:29.880 --> 00:56:32.360
You're you're no, no way,
that's stupid. And because I'm like,

793
00:56:32.440 --> 00:56:36.880
if you look, I could show
you a website that lists all and it's

794
00:56:36.880 --> 00:56:39.840
probably not all of the HF nets. There's a hundreds of them. There's

795
00:56:39.840 --> 00:56:45.159
an HF net on every frequency,
everywhere, at every time of day.

796
00:56:45.920 --> 00:56:47.199
But I mean that doesn't mean you
can hear them all. Some of them

797
00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:50.599
are overseas, some of them are
in other country, some of them just

798
00:56:50.679 --> 00:56:53.719
are on bands you can't hear right
now. But yeah, yeah, I'm

799
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:58.159
like you know that. Here's here's
my rule. If I'm on a PoTA

800
00:56:58.239 --> 00:57:01.400
park and someone comes by and his
light and says, Hey, you know

801
00:57:01.440 --> 00:57:05.360
in about ten or fifteen minutes we
usually start a net this day, would

802
00:57:05.360 --> 00:57:07.280
you mind moving? I was like, no, I don't mind moving.

803
00:57:07.280 --> 00:57:08.880
Thanks for let me know. I'll
be happy to clear out in QSY.

804
00:57:08.920 --> 00:57:13.199
I can find another frequency. Not
a big deal. Most most times I

805
00:57:13.199 --> 00:57:16.519
would agree, I would do that
unless I'm working that that fire of a

806
00:57:16.639 --> 00:57:21.000
pile up. No, man,
I'm not. I'm not giving that up.

807
00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:22.360
You know what, the fire of
a pile up, if you have

808
00:57:22.440 --> 00:57:25.599
it that hot and heavy, they
will follow you. They will. And

809
00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:30.199
you just say, hey, I'm
gonna qsy. I'm gonna try to go

810
00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.480
down five or ten or fifteen killer
hurt something like that. I will spot

811
00:57:32.519 --> 00:57:37.000
myself on the PoTA page when I
get there, and you can I've done

812
00:57:37.039 --> 00:57:39.519
that before. I've done that.
You can use the pilot will follow you.

813
00:57:40.159 --> 00:57:45.119
Um but um but one time,
one time that in my recollection,

814
00:57:45.239 --> 00:57:49.239
one time in my history, and
I was actually I wasn't at Parks on

815
00:57:49.239 --> 00:57:52.440
the air. I was in Costa
Rica. One time. I had some

816
00:57:52.559 --> 00:57:55.599
jackass come on there and he wasn't
even talking well, he was talking to

817
00:57:55.639 --> 00:58:00.760
me, but I was I was
hunting a s QDX station from South America

818
00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:05.519
somewhere, I don't remember where it
was, and he was calling CQDX and

819
00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:07.239
I was trying to go back to
him with my Costa Rica call sign,

820
00:58:07.800 --> 00:58:12.320
and and I kept calling back to
the guy and he wasn't hearing me.

821
00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:14.960
I think I finally worked him,
if I remember correctly, But he wasn't

822
00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:16.400
hearing me at first. But after
I went back to him the second or

823
00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:20.079
third time, some guy gets on
there. He's like, hey, hey,

824
00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:22.119
we're about to start a net on
this frequency, and I just I

825
00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:24.239
just ignored the guy. I'm like, I don't know if he's talking to

826
00:58:24.320 --> 00:58:29.760
me. He didn't call me.
I just ignored the guy. So I

827
00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:31.440
heard the c qd X again and
I went back to the guy. And

828
00:58:31.480 --> 00:58:35.760
then this guy, this this other
net guy, he comes back to me.

829
00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:37.800
He's like, hey, HWB,
we're supposed to we're about to start

830
00:58:37.840 --> 00:58:40.800
a net. I need you to
clear off. And I'm like, dude,

831
00:58:40.880 --> 00:58:44.599
if you would shut up for like
a half a second, I'm trying

832
00:58:44.599 --> 00:58:46.920
to work the cqd X station and
then i'll work. Once I work him,

833
00:58:46.920 --> 00:58:50.159
i'll clear off. But I can't
work him over your jib Jabin.

834
00:58:51.000 --> 00:58:52.800
And he's like, well, can
you tell him to move? I'm like,

835
00:58:52.880 --> 00:58:53.880
no, I can't tell him to
move. You call him and tell

836
00:58:53.960 --> 00:58:57.400
him to move, you can't hear
him. That's something my freaking problem.

837
00:58:57.440 --> 00:59:00.800
I don't I'm not clearing people off
of a frequency that you don't own for

838
00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:05.880
your stupid ass net. So that's
That's not that I feel strongly about it

839
00:59:05.960 --> 00:59:12.480
or anything. So yeah, yeah, so just like but that that happened

840
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:16.840
to me one time. One time, and several other times people have come

841
00:59:16.880 --> 00:59:19.920
by and said, hey, would
you mind, No, I don't mind.

842
00:59:20.119 --> 00:59:22.679
I don't mind. You're being nice, you're being plight. I like

843
00:59:22.760 --> 00:59:25.199
to share. I don't own the
frequency anymore than you do. Yeah,

844
00:59:25.239 --> 00:59:28.880
you got a net starting, I'll
go elsewhere. This's not a problem.

845
00:59:28.960 --> 00:59:34.559
So yeah, I most most of
the time. I usually don't have a

846
00:59:34.599 --> 00:59:37.239
big pile up. If you ask
nicely, yes, I will clear off.

847
00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:44.039
Um, but I don't like the
guys that come in their chess chest

848
00:59:44.119 --> 00:59:47.000
beating. Yeah, we got a
net that we've been running here for the

849
00:59:47.159 --> 00:59:52.559
last thirty years and we haven't skipped
a week. You need a leave because

850
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:57.719
we own this frequency and we're about
to bring up the net for the sixth

851
00:59:57.719 --> 01:00:05.000
time. That in today and the
way I don't like you. Yeah yeah,

852
01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:08.039
but yeah yeah, so I just
yeah, so that could that could

853
01:00:08.039 --> 01:00:12.119
be a topic for another another live
stream. We could just talk about,

854
01:00:13.079 --> 01:00:19.199
uh who owns the frequency dude?
Short short answer, we all do,

855
01:00:20.400 --> 01:00:27.159
yes, so some comics. I
copied down boats Dot Young. He worked

856
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:30.599
Scotland and Finland on a ten meter
hand stick today. I saw that.

857
01:00:30.719 --> 01:00:36.679
Yeah, that's cool. Rock on
Heels. He's in Washington U Marvin uh

858
01:00:37.079 --> 01:00:44.960
warked Park nineteen twenty and got his
five thousand, two hundred QUSO today.

859
01:00:45.199 --> 01:00:52.400
Nice. That that's five time Kilo
award. Damn. Probably I'll have I'll

860
01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:59.360
have a five time Kila Galveston Island
eventually. Shames call sign that we've been

861
01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:05.800
talking about is KI six q FI. He also got a Kilo war today

862
01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:12.360
at Parks number eleven thirty nine.
So thank you very much, rock on.

863
01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:17.079
I'm I'm getting close. I'm getting
close. Um and Randy activated Park

864
01:01:17.199 --> 01:01:27.679
number Kilo nine. I'm sorry,
Kilo zero nine two nine cool awesome.

865
01:01:28.920 --> 01:01:31.119
Well, I'm glad that you got
you guys who had successful PODA today or

866
01:01:31.159 --> 01:01:36.039
this weekend. I'm glad to hear
that ours was successful. We activated the

867
01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:39.119
park. Both yesterday and today,
we got more than ten contacts per day,

868
01:01:39.360 --> 01:01:42.880
all right, at least I did. I got more than ten contact

869
01:01:42.920 --> 01:01:46.159
I got like twenty five last night
and like morning or something like that.

870
01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:53.679
Is there something for the early shift
in PODA. I don't remember. I

871
01:01:53.800 --> 01:01:59.400
remember seeing something that said early and
maybe I'm just making it up. I'm

872
01:01:59.440 --> 01:02:01.599
lugging it now. Yeah, it's
you can go ahead. There's a lot

873
01:02:01.679 --> 01:02:04.800
of different stuff. I don't have
them all memorized. There's a lot of

874
01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:07.960
different awards you can get. There
is a late shift activator and late shift

875
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:12.960
hunter M. There's a there's a
repeat offender late shift activator hunter I think

876
01:02:13.559 --> 01:02:19.199
early shift activator contexts there you go, all right, so that's what it

877
01:02:19.519 --> 01:02:25.320
is. I have four um.
Now we go to I'm assuming that it's

878
01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:30.639
gonna be in the parks. What
it's listed what counts as an early shift?

879
01:02:30.039 --> 01:02:38.119
So my activations see the hill early
shift eight UTC two eleven or eight

880
01:02:38.199 --> 01:02:49.639
UTC to fourteen UTC, which is
what for US none utcers eight UTC is

881
01:02:49.840 --> 01:02:57.000
currently three am for US? What
three AO too? You said fourteen hundred

882
01:02:57.079 --> 01:03:02.079
UTC that's nine am, So okay, so three am to nine am local

883
01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:07.280
time for us right now we're UTC
mine five. So the other question we

884
01:03:07.360 --> 01:03:14.559
had is or I had during this
activation, how many hours it counts for

885
01:03:14.920 --> 01:03:22.000
late shift? Um? Late shift
here is um sos for Cedar Hill State

886
01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:29.119
Park from zero zero UTC to eight
UTC. So late shift is everything up

887
01:03:29.159 --> 01:03:34.440
to the early shift, so that
is eight hours you have. So zero

888
01:03:34.559 --> 01:03:37.480
zero UTC for us right now is
seven pm. Um, so I guess

889
01:03:37.519 --> 01:03:43.280
you'd have from seven to three in
the morning. Yeah, which if the

890
01:03:43.320 --> 01:03:45.320
band was rolling last night, I
would have been happy to work till three

891
01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:50.519
in the morning. Yes, it
been fun. Then you go into early

892
01:03:50.559 --> 01:03:53.840
shift, but that doesn't count it
as a different day. The day only

893
01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:59.360
swaps over on the late swaps one
time twenty every twenty four hours, yeah

894
01:03:59.559 --> 01:04:02.239
counts is it doesn't? Kind of
every twenty four hours at the late shift

895
01:04:02.239 --> 01:04:08.760
time seven o'clock yeah, us,
um, okay, okay, yep,

896
01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:13.480
we can do another episode on all
the different variances on PODA. We ended

897
01:04:13.559 --> 01:04:16.519
up talking about PODA a lot of
the times anyway, So there was an

898
01:04:16.559 --> 01:04:21.840
interesting volcanoes on the air. Someone
mentioned somebody, well somebody was calling c

899
01:04:23.079 --> 01:04:29.119
Q voda Vota on FT eight.
Last night I worked a couple. I

900
01:04:29.159 --> 01:04:31.920
worked two or three ft eight because
the band was so freaking noisy. On

901
01:04:31.960 --> 01:04:35.440
twenty I worked two or three ft
eight before we just got tired and went

902
01:04:35.480 --> 01:04:39.400
to bed. But it was really
dark out there after the light after the

903
01:04:39.519 --> 01:04:44.559
sun went down. Um. But
yeah, somebody was calling c q VODA

904
01:04:44.840 --> 01:04:48.599
on the I don't know if it
was volcanoes on the air or volkswagons on

905
01:04:48.639 --> 01:04:54.000
the air. I don't know.
Everyone jokes around with that, you know,

906
01:04:54.360 --> 01:04:58.400
yeah the air. Yeah, yeah, parking garages on the air,

907
01:04:58.719 --> 01:05:02.320
right, yeah, Walmart, it's
on the air. Yeah, volunteers on

908
01:05:02.360 --> 01:05:04.880
the air. That's what it was. Volunteers on the air. They say,

909
01:05:04.920 --> 01:05:09.760
okay, oh, oh, that's
the a double ril thing, is

910
01:05:09.800 --> 01:05:14.480
it? Okay, yeah, I'm
not familiar with that. That is a

911
01:05:14.679 --> 01:05:18.840
double oril. See if I could
figure that out. All in tears on

912
01:05:19.199 --> 01:05:27.519
the volunteers on the air. I
just I've heard someone called volcanoes on the

913
01:05:27.519 --> 01:05:29.760
air before, so I thought,
I don't think that's really a thing,

914
01:05:29.920 --> 01:05:31.880
but it's kind of cool. You're
sitting on the side of a volcano working

915
01:05:31.880 --> 01:05:35.800
at him radio. So yeah,
that's that's that's neat. So they just

916
01:05:35.840 --> 01:05:43.840
needed. I'm on their page about
it scoreboard. They just need to say

917
01:05:43.880 --> 01:05:46.559
what it is up front. Ron, I have done a volcano on the

918
01:05:46.599 --> 01:05:50.400
air because the place we stay in
Costa Rica is in the foothills of the

919
01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:58.000
Mirror Villas Volcano and we've activated in
there before. So a year long operating

920
01:05:58.079 --> 01:06:03.880
the recognizing volunteers. Yeah, they
got a scoreboard announcement guidelines, not like

921
01:06:03.920 --> 01:06:09.880
a brief explanation. Well maybe wait, we can bring that up another another

922
01:06:09.920 --> 01:06:13.079
live stream. I think we're out
of time now, so well, we're

923
01:06:13.079 --> 01:06:15.039
only out of time. Will we
say we're out of time now? Maybe

924
01:06:15.519 --> 01:06:19.760
maybe I did worry. Okay,
one last thought, I was calling something

925
01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:25.559
else that cool that happened at PODA. I think I was on ten I

926
01:06:25.679 --> 01:06:28.800

was on ten or twenty meters. I

927
01:06:28.840 --> 01:06:30.960
can't remember what band I was on. I've got it logged. But I

928
01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:35.280
