Speaker 1: Ah. I was at Hall's Liquor before I went out
Speaker 1: of town last weekend for for for hunting season, and
Speaker 1: one of the guys was he was just kind of
Speaker 1: being overly, overly helpful, one of the guys behind the counter.
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, well tell me what allocated stock you have.
Speaker 1: Tell me, oh, we got yeah, And he showed me
Speaker 1: a couple of things. But he goes, we got two
Speaker 1: bottles that are new, and he pointed it at Heaven
Speaker 1: Hill and I'm like, well, I've got a bottle of that.
Speaker 1: He said, Galveston. But I've got a bottle of that.
Speaker 2: If you say that, then they will light up. Oh oh,
Speaker 2: let me sell you what else we have, right because
Speaker 2: they know you know your stuff at that point exactly.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I can. I can act like I know
Speaker 1: my stuff. I don't really know that.
Speaker 3: That's they know you're willing to get your wallet out.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's that's what it's all about, right there, Robert.
Speaker 1: I heard you call k I five whiskey something on
Speaker 1: on the forty six machine earlier as I was driving home,
Speaker 1: probably about eleven o'clock this morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's see.
Speaker 1: That was And I waited a few minutes to see
Speaker 1: if they answered you if they didn't, and then I
Speaker 1: called you, you must have turned the doll by it in.
Speaker 3: Oh So, I was doing something. I'm sitting at my desk.
Speaker 3: I'm doing something. I'm not paying attention to the radio,
Speaker 3: but I've got it on. I usually have that that
Speaker 3: two meter that that ken Wood on when I'm sitting
Speaker 3: at the desk, and I heard a call sign come over,
Speaker 3: and it's like, wait a minute, I think I know
Speaker 3: that call sign, but I didn't see I've got both
Speaker 3: the two meter and the seventy centimeter repeaters on, monitoring
Speaker 3: both of those. I didn't know which one it came
Speaker 3: in on. Oh so I called over on the seventy
Speaker 3: centimeter one. And it's funny because the guy was actually
Speaker 3: monitoring both as well, because I saw him come back
Speaker 3: on the two meter side.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, to the side, okay, okay, yeah, because okay,
Speaker 1: all right, good. Yeah, I was on the four forty.
Speaker 1: I was on the four to forty side. That's the
Speaker 1: one I have program in my radio is Bridgeport. It's
Speaker 1: just what I called it. I guess I didn't know
Speaker 1: where it was, but yeah, okay, good, But that repeater
Speaker 1: works fantastic. Surprisingly, I couldn't get it from it is.
Speaker 1: I couldn't get it from the deer stand with an
Speaker 1: HT last night, which there's several repeaters in the area.
Speaker 1: I can get from an HT in the deer stand,
Speaker 1: but I couldn't get that one. But from the mobile
Speaker 1: unit it works great. And from the base station where
Speaker 1: I was talking to you yesterday it worked great too.
Speaker 1: So anyway, I just.
Speaker 2: Want to which repeater.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, Robert, you know more about it than I do.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's a Decatur. There's two Decatur repeaters.
Speaker 4: And.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they've got great range. They've got you know,
Speaker 3: they've got really great reach.
Speaker 2: I was listening to the Detton repeater today over and
Speaker 2: let's drive it through Herst and that'sh But I don't
Speaker 2: know if I was making it back to it. I
Speaker 2: tried to key up several times. No one came back.
Speaker 1: You probably were because, as as you will see in
Speaker 1: a future video of mine, I got a nice ninety
Speaker 1: seven hundred. So put that in the back of your
Speaker 1: mind for a minute. But I was doing h I
Speaker 1: was doing some testing, making a video with it, and
Speaker 1: I keep up that repeater and I talked to a
Speaker 1: guy and he says, they have voters at like uh
Speaker 1: at like Lake Grapevine and like one in the colony.
Speaker 1: I think so they have like remote base that points
Speaker 1: back to the actual one nine two repeater in Denton,
Speaker 1: which I didn't I didn't know that back when I
Speaker 1: was a member of the Denton Club years and years ago,
Speaker 1: they didn't have that. So uh, but you should be
Speaker 1: able to make it, Frank, because there's actually are actually
Speaker 1: a remote base down here that you and I could
Speaker 1: probably get into a little bit easier.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the guys were having a QSO and I thought
Speaker 2: they were done, and I keeped up and I said,
Speaker 2: hey man, this is KG five AHJ I'm a holday
Speaker 2: down here. How's that signal? And then they immediately came
Speaker 2: back and called another station and went on with a
Speaker 2: q SOO. I'm like, you know what, I bet you're
Speaker 2: the same guys that say the repeaters are dead. I
Speaker 2: refuse to talk to anyone else.
Speaker 1: Well, you know what, that's something there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Jason, this this was k I five d
Speaker 3: J L.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's yeah, that's yeah. That was not a call
Speaker 1: sent I recognized. But that's who I heard you call. Yeah.
Speaker 3: So he's a local young man around here. I always
Speaker 3: want to call him a kid, but it's not fair
Speaker 3: to call him a kid, but I do want to
Speaker 3: call him out just because you know, this is a uh,
Speaker 3: this is a local guy here. He's a college student
Speaker 3: at Tarleton, so he's down in Stephenville. And this guy
Speaker 3: is like Ham crazy. This is this is a great
Speaker 3: hammer radio operator. So it's a great example of a
Speaker 3: young Ham radio operator that you know is out there
Speaker 3: doing doing the thing.
Speaker 1: That's good. Yeah, that's really good.
Speaker 3: Good.
Speaker 1: He's not the young he's not the young Ham who
Speaker 1: is at field day, is he?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, I know I know who you're talking about.
Speaker 5: That.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty Dowley. Yeah yeah, yeah, I remember him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he seemed really into it. Yeah but yeah, that's good,
Speaker 1: good deal.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So when I heard him, it's like, I gotta
Speaker 3: I gotta come back to him. Sure, yeah out there.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But like I said, I I just had to take
Speaker 3: a guess on which.
Speaker 1: Which was yeah, always a challenge.
Speaker 2: I was listening on the repeater, so they did quite
Speaker 2: a bit of driving, especially because the storms are coming
Speaker 2: through and I didn't hear any storm nets, so that
Speaker 2: was a good thing. But I did get it, had
Speaker 2: to get q so with another gentleman and on the
Speaker 2: Hurst repeater, and that was funk.
Speaker 1: I was when I got okay, So I'll say that
Speaker 1: in a minute. Why I'm home right now. But when
Speaker 1: I was driving I left the Deer least probably about
Speaker 1: ten forty five this morning, something like that, and it's
Speaker 1: about an hour and fifteen minute drive with regular traffic,
Speaker 1: so you know, so I got home a little bit
Speaker 1: shortly after noon. I'm about noon, maybe a few minutes after.
Speaker 1: So when I was coming into town, coming down one
Speaker 1: fourteen through South Lake, I switched over to the Uless
Speaker 1: machine and there was two guys talking on the Ulis machine,
Speaker 1: and which that's a I wouldn't call that machine a
Speaker 1: very active machine, but it does get used. It does
Speaker 1: get used. And during storm watches and like during the
Speaker 1: snowmageddon and the ice days that we have, two or
Speaker 1: three or maybe more guys will get on that repeater
Speaker 1: and do like just like a wellness check net. Say
Speaker 1: we're going to open this very informal no net control.
Speaker 1: We're just we're monit. If anybody needs anything, you know
Speaker 1: this kind of thing, and that's so so I'll listen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I'm not in Uless, I mean Grapevine, but I'm
Speaker 1: right on the edge. And that's probably the closest to
Speaker 1: repeater to me as the crow flies, and it's it's
Speaker 1: got a it's got a pretty good footprint, and I
Speaker 1: like to listen to that repeater when I'm driving around town.
Speaker 1: So it, uh, it pleased me to to to hear
Speaker 1: activity both on on the Decatur repeaters and the Uless
Speaker 1: repeaters this weekend when I was driving around, So so
Speaker 1: that was good.
Speaker 3: Yeah, those those Decatur repeaters get a fair amount of use,
Speaker 3: so it's uh, that's why I always have them running.
Speaker 3: You're gonna enjoy having those uh set up while you're
Speaker 3: out running around at the dear lease So good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because that, yeah, that two meter machine came
Speaker 1: back really strong. And then and then the four forty six.
Speaker 1: I couldn't remember the I couldn't remember the pl tone
Speaker 1: and I that's why I asked you for for the
Speaker 1: Bridgeport machine. And I guess you didn't know what I
Speaker 1: was talking about, but that Roston machine works incredibly well.
Speaker 1: But I don't hear very many people on it at all.
Speaker 3: It doesn't get the same amount of traffic, but it
Speaker 3: is a good repeater. It's it's got good reach.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, it's it's up really high, like two
Speaker 1: thousand feet. So but yeah, so long story short, I was,
Speaker 1: we went out Friday and I set up camp and
Speaker 1: I slept in my broken ass trailer for the last
Speaker 1: two nights because I've got it. I've got an appointment
Speaker 1: to take it in a week from Wednesday, so we'll
Speaker 1: see how that goes. And I haven't seen Bill in
Speaker 1: the chat tonight. Bill, if you're out there, let me know,
Speaker 1: because I am this close. I am this close to
Speaker 1: go in and getting a Bill trailer and building it
Speaker 1: out nice like a mobile ham shack trailer.
Speaker 2: That know what that will be? Uh contact content?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh, it'll be a whole series. Yeah. In fact,
Speaker 1: I'll probably do a couple of videos on my unplug
Speaker 1: channel just about just kind of the trailer stuff and
Speaker 1: do the you know, do the ham radio stuff on
Speaker 1: this channel.
Speaker 2: But just need to get the wife to sign off.
Speaker 1: I know. I told her about it and she kind
Speaker 1: of looked at me sideways and then yeah, She's like,
Speaker 1: how mad that look She's like, she's like, how many
Speaker 1: radio shacks do you need? I'm like, well, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on, because we're talking about moving. Yes, and in
Speaker 1: a year or two we're talking about moving to Galveston permanently. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you can come down to Galveston, Frank, we'll have
Speaker 1: a spare room.
Speaker 2: Be careful, man, I'll take you up on that.
Speaker 1: I said it, I meant it, So, Tim, thank you

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, hit Frank up in discord. So uh so
Speaker 1: I left there about yeah and oh no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: So I I got to take my trailer in and
Speaker 1: I don't know, they might they might have that thing
Speaker 1: for two or three months. I don't know how long
Speaker 1: we're going to have it.
Speaker 2: Let's time they had it for like three months.
Speaker 1: Three months, it was three. I dropped it off the
Speaker 1: day after Huntsville Hamfest in August, and I got it
Speaker 1: back the day after Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3: So Jason, you know what we should do?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 3: We should we should try to get a two for
Speaker 3: deal on one of those trailers.
Speaker 1: Right, it's an ideal.
Speaker 3: And then you and I went to, yeah, I want
Speaker 3: one as well, And then you and I can have
Speaker 3: like a like a reality show, a YouTube reality show
Speaker 3: where where we see who can build the coolest mobile
Speaker 3: ham shack?
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know I I would much rather do collaboration than competition.
Speaker 2: So competition with.
Speaker 1: No, I understand that. But like if Robert comes up
Speaker 1: with this really great idea, I'm like, no, no, no, I
Speaker 1: want to do that. Also, I don't want to. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I will share all my good ideas with you, yeah,
Speaker 1: and that kind of thing. So yeah, but no, that's
Speaker 1: that's a good idea. Though it is a good idea.
Speaker 3: I mean I'm serious, I would like to buy one
Speaker 3: as well. So if we can get a two for deal,
Speaker 3: we should we can do there.
Speaker 2: I will buy one. I will buy bills so you
Speaker 2: could do it again.
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, so I've got I found a place. There's
Speaker 1: a place in Waksahatchie that carries them. There's a place
Speaker 1: in Hillsborough, and there's a place. Do you know which
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's various. It's just like
Speaker 1: a it's like a I'm not even one hundred percent
Speaker 1: sure if they're new, like some of them will say,
Speaker 1: like twenty twenty two or twenty twenty three models, And
Speaker 1: I don't even care if it's new exactly. The latest
Speaker 1: place I found was in Greenville, and and I found
Speaker 1: all of these on Facebook marketplace. I'm just looking on
Speaker 1: Facebook marketplace for a sixteen by seven by seven trailer,
Speaker 1: so it's sixteen foot long, seven foot wide, and seven
Speaker 1: foot tall. I don't know if that was going to
Speaker 1: work for you, Robert, but you know, for me, that's
Speaker 1: that's fine, Robert. But are you muted? Tim?
Speaker 6: He's just.
Speaker 1: Hear me, Can you hear me?
Speaker 3: Tim to Tim?
Speaker 1: Hello? Tim?
Speaker 3: Tim? Tim?
Speaker 1: All right, Well, sometimes he'll catch up to us at
Speaker 1: some point. So yeah, but they also make they also
Speaker 1: make a sixteen by eight by seven so it's eight
Speaker 1: feet wide. Yeah, and I think they even make like
Speaker 1: it's ten feet wide too. But I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: like ten foot wide is pushing it because that's about
Speaker 1: the width of your lane on the highway, so they
Speaker 1: make it feet would be nice, eight foot would be nice.
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I was talking to a couple
Speaker 1: of guys at the r V at Outback RV and
Speaker 1: Denton about a couple of different brands of trailers, telling
Speaker 1: him about all the stuff that I the problems I've
Speaker 1: been having my with my Forest River. And they have
Speaker 1: this brand up there called Imperial that we're going to
Speaker 1: do a video about soon. And that thing. They build
Speaker 1: four inch thick insulated walls into that thing. Wow, and
Speaker 1: it like it has a it has like a thousand
Speaker 1: watts of solar on top and a twelve I think
Speaker 1: it's either twelve or twenty four volt air conditioner. He said.
Speaker 1: They left it on for three days. One time they
Speaker 1: forgot it was running. They came out and they opened
Speaker 1: the door and it was like seventy degrees in there
Speaker 1: because it's been running the whole time because it's so
Speaker 1: well insulated and it's got all this battery. But I'm like, Okay,
Speaker 1: if I got a sixteen by eight foot trailer, I
Speaker 1: could put four inches on either side three to four
Speaker 1: inches of insulation on either side and still be greater
Speaker 1: than seven feet wide. So I'm like, maybe that's what
Speaker 1: I want to do. And the prices, the prices are
Speaker 1: not very very different between the two sizes. But what
Speaker 1: I found was I found a place in Waksahatchie that
Speaker 1: seems to have a few brands, and I found the
Speaker 1: place in Hillsborough was well a place. Some lady in
Speaker 1: Florida hit me up. She's like, oh, we hear you're
Speaker 1: looking for and I'm like, yeah, where are you? She goes,
Speaker 1: We're in Florida, and I'm like, I'm not driving to Florida. Oh,
Speaker 1: we can deliver it to you. I'm like, sure, you
Speaker 1: can't for a thousand dollars. Yeah, exact, I'm not doing that.
Speaker 1: Come on. She said, we have a place in Hillsboro
Speaker 1: and the trailer she was quoting me was one thousand
Speaker 1: dollars more expensive in Hillsborough than what she wanted to
Speaker 1: sell it to me for in Florida. And I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1: So but the place in Greenville said that they would
Speaker 1: finance me. Now hear me out on finance. Here's how
Speaker 1: I do financing here. I love to do financing like this.
Speaker 1: And I don't know how long they were going to
Speaker 1: give me, twelve, twenty four months, whatever, I just want
Speaker 1: to I just want to pay it off in like
Speaker 1: three months, you know, cause I'm looking to spend six
Speaker 1: to eight thousand dollars. The ones I've been looking at
Speaker 1: have been six to eight thousand dollars maybe nine thousand
Speaker 1: at the very most. And I'm like, dude, instead of
Speaker 1: just dropping eight grand today, I just paid off in
Speaker 1: like four months. Sure, you know, I mean, why not
Speaker 1: mean I don't care. Finance it to me at thirty
Speaker 1: percent for the next two years. I don't care. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pay it off in four months. So uh so
Speaker 1: that's but the place in Greenville said that they would
Speaker 1: do that, and they sent me this link to fill
Speaker 1: out financial information, which I haven't done that yet, but
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm looking at that. I need to
Speaker 1: go out, and I've been talking with Richard, a main
Speaker 1: trading company, about going out and doing a tour of
Speaker 1: their new facility. They just moved nice locations and I'm like,
Speaker 1: Greenville's right next to parents, are just not that far
Speaker 1: from Paris. So I'm thinking about trying to kill two
Speaker 1: birds with one stone one of these days and do
Speaker 1: both of those trip and just kind of swing through
Speaker 1: Greenville to check out their inventory and whatnot and talk
Speaker 1: to them. And if I do that, Robert, I'll let
Speaker 1: you know. But but like my older trailer right now,
Speaker 1: I took to a used car lot about our used
Speaker 1: RV lot like a week ago, and that guy's trying
Speaker 1: to sell it for me. And then my Forest River
Speaker 1: is going in the shop next week. So I've got
Speaker 1: all of deer season left with no facilities at all.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I don't know I've got I've got there,
Speaker 1: I've got a couple of options. We'll see. But now
Speaker 1: might be a prime time to try to jump onto
Speaker 1: something like that. We'll see, we'll see. I don't know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But anyway, Tim, you got us?
Speaker 6: Do you have?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 3: There you are?
Speaker 2: Yeah? All right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think you could hear us at first?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 4: Not much, just just you know, coming back. Actually was
Speaker 4: my son's birthday, so we were out of dinner and
Speaker 4: everything and nice and uh just got home here a
Speaker 4: little bit again.
Speaker 2: Did you get them a tank radio mug.
Speaker 6: You know, yeah, I.
Speaker 2: Couldn't help it. These are awesome, man, they.
Speaker 1: Look like good mugs. They are good mugs, and Frank,
Speaker 1: I haven't I'm going to tell you this on the
Speaker 1: live stream, and I'm doing this on purpose. So you're Tumblr,
Speaker 1: you're whiskey tumbler. I was. I'd used it two or
Speaker 1: three times and uh, it was a perfect size. I've
Speaker 1: got I've got one. I've got a whiskey tumbler from
Speaker 1: my buddy Brent whiskey seven br W seven br and
Speaker 1: he's got his logo on it, and then yours was
Speaker 1: a little bit larger, and then I've got these generic
Speaker 1: ones that are larger than yours. But I was using
Speaker 1: that that ice globe thing and I was, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no. I've got two of them in my fridge
Speaker 1: here as well, and they're a little bit bigger than
Speaker 1: one of Galveston. So I was. I was kind of
Speaker 1: squeezing it and breaking the ice and I poured it
Speaker 1: into your glass and it broke the side off the door.
Speaker 1: It's like, I was like, oh crapose, those were one
Speaker 1: of them. I know it. Yeah, I had to throw it.
Speaker 1: It was broken. Now I'd throw it out. It's like,
Speaker 1: this's my only one.
Speaker 7: I told She's like, what, everyone else's tumblers are worth
Speaker 7: more now?
Speaker 1: I know, right, Yeah, there's less of them in the
Speaker 1: world now.
Speaker 2: So now you got to drink it out of a
Speaker 2: coffee mug.
Speaker 1: I get. Yeah, yeah, something like that.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to say all all the mugs are
Speaker 2: in the shipping. I dropped the last batch off Yester.
Speaker 1: Good, so hopefully the first Nope, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: The first went out last week and I got pictures
Speaker 2: of those that came through, and I heard that they
Speaker 2: cut through the male grate, second batches on their way.
Speaker 2: Everything scanned in. You should have had the updates in
Speaker 2: the shipping and they're they're all out there, so yay,
Speaker 2: and they're they're awesome.
Speaker 3: What's next, Frank?
Speaker 2: You know what? I don't know? All right, so I'm.
Speaker 5: Gonna do it.
Speaker 1: No, do another whiskey tellel or just do it a
Speaker 1: little bit different.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to retread. I do you remember
Speaker 2: the Ammo cans. I had this idea the.
Speaker 1: Ammo cans, like yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: The fire coming out and everything. I bought a kit
Speaker 2: a d Y I kit and I gave it to
Speaker 2: my brother today and this is why it came up
Speaker 2: on my mind. I'm like, I want to do a
Speaker 2: tank radio ammo can with the fire coming out, and
Speaker 2: I want to go and find a laser cutter in
Speaker 2: the area and have my logo cut into it so
Speaker 2: the fire you see the fire through the AMMO can.
Speaker 2: Me and my brother were joking. I'm like, so I
Speaker 2: told him like, oh, you get some lava rocks, put
Speaker 2: it on, or you get the glass a little bead
Speaker 2: and you put it on top of there, make it
Speaker 2: look a little nicer. Then I was like, I wonder
Speaker 2: if someone sells solid metal bullets m so you can
Speaker 2: put the solid metal bullet inside the ammo can that
Speaker 2: you light on fire. I was like, how bad something
Speaker 2: would that be? Just you go, oh, it's ammo can
Speaker 2: and you see like ammunition inside the fire.
Speaker 1: Hold. On a second, Patty Boy gaming, where's the discord link?
Speaker 1: It is him Radio two dot com forward slash discord
Speaker 1: him Radio two dot com Forward slash discord Frank. If
Speaker 1: you'll share that just when you got it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's next. Don's con out the booney hats, my
Speaker 2: booney hats. I'm trying to find the link over at gigabarts.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, those are gigaparts.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, those are awesome booney hats. I have one
Speaker 2: behind me right there, but I chose the ones with
Speaker 2: black and white on them.
Speaker 1: Del Fargas says, what could possibly go wrong with that idea?
Speaker 1: Lighting a bullet on fire in an Ammo can for
Speaker 1: fire pit.
Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys saw Freddie Mack's face
Speaker 4: when when Frank, He's like, all I'm thinking about is
Speaker 4: rounds lighting off there, cooking off.
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just like, I want to go camping
Speaker 1: in California with Frank when he has that, so that
Speaker 1: I don't have to drive him home because he's gonna
Speaker 1: freaking get arrested. So, no, these.
Speaker 2: Solid metals, so you can't put it in there. It's
Speaker 2: just be like, I want the people to be.
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, nobody's ever going to make a mistake and
Speaker 3: confuse that, right and maybe put a real live round
Speaker 3: right that can right, that'll never happened.
Speaker 2: Never happened. So but when I was pricing that out,
Speaker 2: and then the laser cutter and then lava rocks or
Speaker 2: some metal cutter to get me that I was like, Oh,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be like one hundred and twenty dollars item
Speaker 2: and I'm going to have two two of them.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, it's a good idea. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know it's a good idea. Definitely had to
Speaker 1: figure out the execution and see.
Speaker 3: I would just go with you know, you've got it
Speaker 3: down now, frank right, you did it in all your boxes, right,
Speaker 3: Just paint your stencil on the side.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, So that that would be the secondary thing.
Speaker 1: But if you're gonna use it for an AMMO can,
Speaker 1: that's fine. If you're gonna use it for a fire
Speaker 1: pit that's gonna burn right off of there.
Speaker 2: Well you can use resistant, yeah, real pain.
Speaker 1: Okay, that might that might Yeah, that might work. I
Speaker 1: don't know. The first when you buy that kit that
Speaker 1: Kyle has, the first thing they do is tell you
Speaker 1: that they tell you to do is sand up all
Speaker 1: the paint.
Speaker 2: Well, you stand off the paint and then repaint it
Speaker 2: with the paint resistant because the initial paint they have
Speaker 2: on there is kind of toxic if it gets too hot,
Speaker 2: and what are you gonna do set it on fire?
Speaker 2: So yes, that's that's why they have your shaved, scrape
Speaker 2: it all off even on the outside. That repaint it
Speaker 2: so like like I did with the like Roberts said
Speaker 2: with the boxes, I do the inverted ghost spray paint.
Speaker 2: Yeah I could.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 2: I just think it would be laser cut. It would
Speaker 2: just be like, ah, this is so cool. We'll see,
Speaker 2: we'll see. I think that'll just be too high. A
Speaker 2: couple of suggestions in the chat Brandon to put together
Speaker 2: a cigar kit cut her torch slider pouch with all
Speaker 2: your branding. I like that, but I think crowd is
Speaker 2: too limited in that. I would really love to do
Speaker 2: like a branded cigar. And we I looked at those
Speaker 2: laws and no, sir, a flask. A flask, we.
Speaker 3: Could totally do.
Speaker 1: A flask is a good idea, bro, Frank. We need
Speaker 1: to do we need to do a round of whiskey. Yes,
Speaker 1: we need to look at some story right right correct
Speaker 1: and have them bottle it for us in a and
Speaker 1: the way that Okay. So, so we were in New
Speaker 1: Bronzeville for a for a family wedding about I don't
Speaker 1: know a month and a half ago something like that.
Speaker 1: We went into a winery in there, and my wife
Speaker 1: and I and we were and they had on the
Speaker 1: on in the behind the sign of the winery. They
Speaker 1: had do your own wine, make your own barrel of wine.
Speaker 1: That's what it was. I forget what they called. They
Speaker 1: had a term for it, but it was basically make
Speaker 1: your own barrel of wine. So and I said, tell
Speaker 1: me about that, and she goes, what you do is
Speaker 1: you come in and we'll give you a bunch of
Speaker 1: samples the different wines we have, and you can pick
Speaker 1: one or you can kind of do a blended something
Speaker 1: if you want to do that, and then we will
Speaker 1: make the wine. And I think she said it takes
Speaker 1: like six or eight weeks or ten weeks something like that. Forget,
Speaker 1: And they make the wine and then when it's ready,
Speaker 1: you do a reveal party and you bring your people
Speaker 1: up there and you invite people up there, and then
Speaker 1: you get like I think it was like something crazy
Speaker 1: like sixty bottles of wine out of out of a barrel,
Speaker 1: something like that. Whatever it was.
Speaker 2: We looked up the numbers and it was like three
Speaker 2: hundred bottles of bourbon or something.
Speaker 1: Well, a bourbon bottle is smaller than a wine bottle typically,
Speaker 1: I mean just to maybe it was like eighty battles.
Speaker 1: I don't remember it was what maybe it wasn't a
Speaker 1: full sized barrel they had at this winery. Anyway, the
Speaker 1: point is I was like, okay, so what do people
Speaker 1: do with this? She goes, well, I said, because you
Speaker 1: can't sell it because you don't have a liquoralized I
Speaker 1: mean legally, you can't sell it because you can't put
Speaker 1: it on your website, you can't put it on eBay.
Speaker 1: She goes well, most of the time, it'll be a
Speaker 1: company that does it, and like some big corporate company
Speaker 1: who come in here for a team building project and
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, we're going to buy everyone gets one
Speaker 1: bottle of wine. You know, we got sixty employees and
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. I'm like, that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: That's cool. I like that idea.
Speaker 2: But they need to resell it though for us, because
Speaker 2: we can't sell it straight out.
Speaker 1: On We can't sell it straight out and yeah, but
Speaker 1: what we can do now, anybody any lawyers in the
Speaker 1: chat cover years. What we can do, I think is
Speaker 1: we can take it to hamfests and sell people a
Speaker 1: whiskey tumbler. Oh, by the way, you get a free
Speaker 1: bottle of whiskey with that, you know, so or you
Speaker 1: could just say, hey, you know what, I'm giving the
Speaker 1: whiskey away. Oh you want to make a donation, that's great,
Speaker 1: thank you very much, but you know, it's the whiskey's free,
Speaker 1: you know, something like that. So you can kind of
Speaker 1: get the other end of that is maybe maybe they
Speaker 1: will sell it through their website. Say, I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know if.
Speaker 2: That's what I'd be looking for.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we need to find somebody to do that, because
Speaker 1: I think that would be a fun and it needs
Speaker 1: to be a bourbon, not a way I keep saying whiskey.
Speaker 1: It needs to be a bourbon. But I think that
Speaker 1: would be a really cool thing to have a Ham
Speaker 1: radio bourbon that we can and I would shoot, I'd
Speaker 1: buy ten bottles of it myself, and I would legit,
Speaker 1: take it to hamfests and give it to certain Patreon
Speaker 1: members or channel members or something like that. I would
Speaker 1: give several bottles away myself, but you know, and I'd
Speaker 1: probably take keep two bottles myself and put them in
Speaker 1: the cupboard and leave them there for a long time.
Speaker 1: But Aaron says, thirty one gallons and a barrel fifths
Speaker 1: thirty one times five equals one hundred and fifty five fifths.
Speaker 1: I think there's different sized barrels though, but that's probably
Speaker 1: that's probably he's probably standard barrel there. That's so that's good.
Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty five bottles. We could we could
Speaker 1: move one hundred and fifty five bottles of bourbon. I
Speaker 1: just think we could. I would like to. I would
Speaker 1: like to be proven wrong on that. So let's let's
Speaker 1: try it and see.
Speaker 2: All right, man, I will put the leg work in
Speaker 2: and see if we can find someone will do that
Speaker 2: for us, get some pricing, and I hope, yeah, I
Speaker 2: hope that they can also do the resale and then
Speaker 2: just right I, like you said, I'll buy some bottles too. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just want someone else to figure out those laws.
Speaker 1: The wine place was you know, it costs X number
Speaker 1: of dollars to do this and then you get all
Speaker 1: of those bottles of wine at the end of the thing.
Speaker 1: So you were baying you right, Yeah, it was all yours,
Speaker 1: And that's what she was saying. She's like a lot
Speaker 1: of corporate parties and companies do this and they'll just
Speaker 1: they'll just give the wine to their people, and I'm like, well, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of a cool than Christmas thing, maybe
Speaker 1: something like that company anniversary whatever. So I'm like, that's
Speaker 1: a good idea. So Bill's in the chat bill we
Speaker 1: were just talking about, you, buddy, If you have the
Speaker 1: zoom link bill, the same one we always use, You're
Speaker 1: welcome to join us if you are sitting in front

Speaker 4: link in the zoom chat of a distillery that some
Speaker 4: may turn me on too. I haven't had a chance
Speaker 4: to taste it yet. But take a look at their logo.

Speaker 1: New Riffdistilling dot Com. Okay, where are the where is this? Tim?
Speaker 1: Is this in Tennessee, Kentucky, Kentucky? Yeah, well it should be.

Speaker 4: Lexington is that far from Dayton, Ohiowa, and that that yeah,
Speaker 4: should be a field trip.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah. In fact, n A Yo was in Chat
Speaker 1: earlier and I'm pretty sure it's Dayton. And he will
Speaker 1: stop in too. Jack Daniels in two or three different
Speaker 1: Kentucky distilleries on his way to Dayton. Uh not maybe
Speaker 1: not every year, but most years. So and he's like,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, Jack Daniels, how's that? He goes man,
Speaker 1: that you can get stuff to Jack Daniels distillery. They
Speaker 1: don't sell anywhere else. And I'm like, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm good with that. So I had some Jack Daniels
Speaker 1: last night, No Friday. I haven't had Jack Daniels a
Speaker 1: long time, not the old number seven. I haven't had
Speaker 1: a long long time. And I'm like, well, okay, my
Speaker 1: tastes have been kind of evolving. I used to think
Speaker 1: it was I used to think it was good but
Speaker 1: not great. So I had some of the other night
Speaker 1: and I'm like, you know what, that's that's not bad.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not fantastic, but it's not it's not bad.
Speaker 1: It's better than I remember.
Speaker 3: So it's whiskey for coke.
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, that's exactly what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and see, and the guys at Hauls the other
Speaker 1: day he was showing me a bottle of Evan Williams
Speaker 1: that was a single barrel, and I'm like, well, isn't
Speaker 1: that like very bottle? He goes, yeah, they're they're like
Speaker 1: standard Evan Williams is like Walmart whiskey that you put
Speaker 1: in Walmart coca cola. I mean, it's not even really
Speaker 1: good enough for regular coca cola, but it's it's But
Speaker 1: he's like, this single barrel is supposed to be really good.
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, okay, cool, good, so worth a try, right,
Speaker 1: worth a try?
Speaker 2: Yep, you know, you never know about trying this. Heaven
Speaker 2: Hill is kind of decent, but you know how much
Speaker 2: everyone talked it up and what I find right at it,
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, okay.
Speaker 1: It's good. It's not It's like Fuzzy's Tacos. It's not
Speaker 1: worth the hype. I'm like, yeah, Fuzzy Tacos is good,
Speaker 1: but what's the big deal?
Speaker 2: You know what my every day is. I know what
Speaker 2: my every day is.
Speaker 5: M h.
Speaker 1: Four roses.
Speaker 2: Four roses.
Speaker 1: I dare they're cheap?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, twenty eight bucks, this is the leader.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I dare you to beat four roses for
Speaker 1: anything less than sixty dollars larceny good, but it is
Speaker 1: in less than sixty See, I was thinking Buffalo Traces
Speaker 1: a little bit higher than.
Speaker 3: That fifth for twenty bucks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but but where.
Speaker 3: The costco total and more?
Speaker 1: Can you really get it? Okay, Buffalo Trace is very
Speaker 1: good as well. Ye twenty bucks Yeah yeah, yeah, but
Speaker 1: I mean that four Roses is fantastic.
Speaker 3: I'm just really good.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The larsony's good too, but I think I like
Speaker 1: the four roses better. But I don't know.
Speaker 3: We didn't have any trouble with it in Missouri. I
Speaker 3: can tell you that.
Speaker 4: Although no trouble worked, although the company was pretty good.
Speaker 6: Maybe that's what made that.
Speaker 1: Hey, we were just trying to keep warm and all
Speaker 1: we were doing survival one on one. Yeah, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was all medicinal. That's right. Yeah, yeah, really gold Until
Speaker 1: the next night we were yeah, that's right.

Speaker 1: Propagation reserve. That's good, that's not bad.
Speaker 6: I feel like Freddy's been thinking about this for a while.
Speaker 6: He started up a.
Speaker 2: Lot of us l select.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I've got to admit I just tapped it into
Speaker 8: chat GPT. Oh yeah, also hand banded bourbon.
Speaker 3: So there's a bunch of them there.
Speaker 1: Kind of tank tread, uh, tank tread.
Speaker 3: That's like that's like shoe leather liquor.
Speaker 9: Right, that's right, Yeah, yeah, right, no doubt, And I
Speaker 9: seven I'm not going to prove it.
Speaker 2: The mods can get a chuckle out of that. Bill,

Speaker 2: But but like, are we going to do the same
Speaker 2: type of preview ticket? So we get in andto the
Speaker 2: crap count early.
Speaker 1: And okay, So here's uh So. I had emailed Chris Holloway,
Speaker 1: he's the uh founder and CEO of More Expo. I
Speaker 1: emailed him basically the week after we got back, and
Speaker 1: he replied to me like last week, and he's like, hey,
Speaker 1: I just uh, sorry for the delay, blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: That's fine, no problem, no big deal, he says. I
Speaker 1: was just on the call with David Harris out of
Speaker 1: the Nixia n i x A NIXA Amateur Radio Club,
Speaker 1: which I think is in the area. He remind to
Speaker 1: meet a holler back at you, my apologies for missy okay.
Speaker 1: David and I were talking about setting up an amateur
Speaker 1: radio area between the indoor and outdoor vendor areas so
Speaker 1: attendees could meet all of you guys. I want to
Speaker 1: give you space for everyone and all of you to
Speaker 1: come together in a shared location. I have a good
Speaker 1: spot with power right on the main road. If you're
Speaker 1: still interested coming in, please grab a time on my calendar.
Speaker 1: So I have a meeting with him this Thursday to discuss.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds like it sounds like we're going to
Speaker 2: be up front at the camping spot.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't think he's talking about I think he's
Speaker 1: talking about something similar to what he gave Steve last year,
Speaker 1: not a camp site, but during the show, like a
Speaker 1: booth during the show, right, I believe that's that's how
Speaker 1: I read it. Anyway, I can confirm with him when
Speaker 1: I have my call with him on Thursday.
Speaker 2: But the camp like didn't We try a booth several
Speaker 2: times at Dayton and a couple other hand fests, and
Speaker 2: we weren't hardly ever there.
Speaker 3: Just to.
Speaker 2: Healthy counter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it's it would be nice
Speaker 1: to have. I don't know, there's a different ambiance at
Speaker 1: an overland show because we're not overland YouTubers. We're Ham Radio,
Speaker 1: So having a Ham Radio spot might be kind of
Speaker 1: a good thing at this show. I don't know, But
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I'm not on Creators Row where all the Sadie people.
Speaker 9: Were, right, yeah, yeah, did you walk down there, like
Speaker 9: so yeah YouTuber Ham Radio hand uh, content creators, we're
Speaker 9: rubbing airbells, we are stealing and drinking all of.
Speaker 2: Freddy's bourban and we're having enough fun time. I walked down,
Speaker 2: you know, the Content Creators Row for the what the
Speaker 2: overlanding group. They were like, this is my area, and
Speaker 2: this is my area, and this is my area. Some
Speaker 2: they were just kind of talking to the fans. But
Speaker 2: it's one of the big creators. I didn't see a
Speaker 2: lot of you know, intermingling how like we do in
Speaker 2: the hand.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I didn't see a lot of intermingling either,
Speaker 1: that's true.
Speaker 6: And no I got I got at what I got.
Speaker 3: Yeah, soon as like I was like, I got my
Speaker 3: own channel. Oh that's that's part for the course though, Tim, Yeah,
Speaker 3: well that is true. That's right, you're true.
Speaker 1: Consider the source, I guess. But no, I mean it's yeah,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's a different thing.
Speaker 4: Especially that guy with the purple hair. I won't name
Speaker 4: any names, but you.
Speaker 1: Don't talking about right, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we've we've we've well.
Speaker 1: No, there's some feedback coming from you. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go. Thank you feel free to talk whenever
Speaker 1: you want to.
Speaker 2: But you know, uh, band Master Bourbon, yes, ban.
Speaker 1: Master Bourbon like straight key spirits. I like that.
Speaker 6: I just I don't know.
Speaker 2: There was a differ vibe I got from them there.
Speaker 2: I agree sharing maybe if we walk down there at
Speaker 2: night or they might be having fun.
Speaker 4: But I was like, no, one of the one of
Speaker 4: the things most of them are, they're they're a type personalities, right,
Speaker 4: and we are too. But the very nature of HAM
Speaker 4: Radio is to be out there to talk to communicating, right,
Speaker 4: Communicating is really.
Speaker 6: Not where they're there.
Speaker 4: Their things are, they're they're very guarded and it's it's
Speaker 4: all about me, me, me, Where we're.
Speaker 3: They're just used to being out in the middle of
Speaker 3: nowhere by themselves, right right right, well with others.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well the point is that that the good
Speaker 1: the good news is in my opinion, that more Expo
Speaker 1: wants to support us and they want to make it
Speaker 1: easier to get the word out about ham Radio and
Speaker 1: and support our YouTube community. So we are going to
Speaker 1: be making so I'll find out more information from Chris.
Speaker 1: This is not a camp site thing. We're gonna camp
Speaker 1: in the same way we did last year. Cool except larger.
Speaker 1: I hope.
Speaker 6: Can we just get that corner blocked off.
Speaker 2: Whole, like the whole area, that whole sliver, I don't think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll, I'll, I'll see what he has to say
Speaker 1: about that. I was like, you know, I don't want
Speaker 1: any special privileges or anything. I'm not trying to do
Speaker 1: that because it is dispersed camping, first come, first serve.
Speaker 1: I say, we just get there early again like we
Speaker 1: did last year. But yeah, I thought that was really fun.
Speaker 1: It was a fun drive. But uh, I'll see what
Speaker 1: he says about that, But no, I think he was
Speaker 1: talking about like a booth for like during the show,
Speaker 1: to hang out place during the show, kind of like
Speaker 1: what Steve had last year. So yeah, I think it's Uh.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be doing a big push for
Speaker 1: a probably as soon as him cation is done in February,
Speaker 1: you probably start do a couple of live streams, invite
Speaker 1: people on, get the word out that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: and try to get a try to get a larger crowd,
Speaker 1: a larger Ham Radio crowd at more expert this year
Speaker 1: than we had last year, because that's that was a
Speaker 1: fun shine.

Speaker 2: if you give them all bourbon and tell them to share,
Speaker 2: then they become friends. And cigars because you know, we

Speaker 3: I mean, we have such a great time, you know,
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 1: I know it. Yeah, I'll just say it.
Speaker 2: We were cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for each other,

Speaker 1: at the hunting les. Yep. Uh, get yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 1: need one of the laser of thermometers like Kyle has to,
Speaker 1: you know, but yeah, you just kind of keep the
Speaker 1: heat low so it slow cooks things and then you know,
Speaker 1: you can go Okay, it's it's okay. Let's see. Hold on,
Speaker 1: I saw a question or a comment I wanted to
Speaker 1: reply to, but I lost it. Oh, here's Chris Bricker.
Speaker 1: Are you guys taking go boxes and showing off some
Speaker 1: jeep with Oh? Did I okay?
Speaker 3: You're going?
Speaker 1: My battery died? Uh? Where is that?
Speaker 2: I could take it? Are you guys showing got boxes
Speaker 2: and sewing off decked out jeeps for Ham radio stuff?
Speaker 2: Last year Jason did a intro to Ham radio talk
Speaker 2: and that was fun. If we have a booth, we
Speaker 2: might set it up with some Ham radio stuff. We
Speaker 2: did do it last year, but.
Speaker 1: We did not We did not set up a radio
Speaker 1: last year, but we did. But Shame set up a
Speaker 1: radio two years ago. And that was the year that
Speaker 1: he had his seventy three hundred out there and he
Speaker 1: was he found a guy on freaking I think he
Speaker 1: was on twenty meters. The guy was on AM. He
Speaker 1: was calling CQ on AM and we talked it. We
Speaker 1: made contact with him and he's just like, yeah, just
Speaker 1: trying trying some AM. I'm like, oh that and he
Speaker 1: sounded great and I was like, man, that was He
Speaker 1: has his buddy stick pron to seventy three hundred. It's
Speaker 1: all he had and it worked really well. So we did.
Speaker 1: We did drive down the road a short ways and
Speaker 1: do a PoTA activation this last year, my first because
Speaker 1: there's a yeah, that's right, it.
Speaker 3: Was your first.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, huh, but it's uh, there's a there's a
Speaker 1: potas spot, a couple of PoTA spots very close by.
Speaker 1: But it's uh but yeah, I mean, yeah, we should
Speaker 1: set up a radio in camp.
Speaker 2: We should totally do camp or if we have a
Speaker 2: gathering table that the only thing is I don't want
Speaker 2: to wear that, leave my my whole radio kit and
Speaker 2: then go and take video and disappear for two three hours,
Speaker 2: come back to the table and it's been through.
Speaker 5: Oh god.
Speaker 4: So so Steve, Steve did have a couple of radio
Speaker 4: set up. Uh. He did basically showcasing his in tennis,
Speaker 4: but he wasn't he wasn't really there to sell anything
Speaker 4: per se. It was more just kind of education of
Speaker 4: of ham radio in general.
Speaker 7: We're playing a portable All Star note that I've been building,
Speaker 7: and a battery box that my friend is making, and
Speaker 7: he's another hamlet up becoming YouTuber. And this is portable stuff,
Speaker 7: so it has multi uses.
Speaker 1: If if Robert is speaking of it, back to the
Speaker 1: XEL thing, If Robert and I have our way, we're
Speaker 1: gonna keep bringing some mobile ham shacks.
Speaker 3: That's right, that's a point.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm putting my I'm putting my All Star, my
Speaker 1: Britge con Rectorer with the All Star setup in my
Speaker 1: mobile ham shack whenever I get it built perfect, so
Speaker 1: it has one hundred what ample fire on it.
Speaker 4: But yeah, to the one question as far as the
Speaker 4: rigs and everything, so I I had my Bronco there
Speaker 4: last year. We when we went to go Poda, you know,
Speaker 4: we rolled up, drop the uh the UH tree table
Speaker 4: down on the on the tailgate and and set up shopping.
Speaker 6: Uh all was like at least six of us.
Speaker 2: Uh was was that the PODEA activation.
Speaker 3: Kyle was like, yes, exactly that one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well those guys were they were doing that the
Speaker 4: the c WS.
Speaker 2: No, No, he was out like he was out on
Speaker 2: the side of the truck leaning on it Jason.
Speaker 3: When he was sleeping.
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, let's see.
Speaker 3: Oh wait, do you guys remember that dude that was
Speaker 3: in the car next to you, Tim, who was parked
Speaker 3: next to you.
Speaker 6: Yes. Oh I talked to him for a little bit.
Speaker 3: Did you Did he make any sense?
Speaker 11: No?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought, so. I got to hang out somewhere.
Speaker 2: Did the The story I wanted to tell was the
Speaker 2: when I came back, Kyle said, know what if I
Speaker 2: was there, I'll punch you in the nerds. So what
Speaker 2: happened was I I went to the restroom and a
Speaker 2: guy was sitting at the restroom trying to charge his
Speaker 2: uper battery that he charges everything for the weekend but
Speaker 2: he didn't get through one night and he was trying
Speaker 2: to get it charged up. And I walked in there
Speaker 2: and went the restaurant came out and I looked at him.
Speaker 2: It's like, looks like you need a solar panel, right.
Speaker 2: He goes, well, yeah, I said, go to gigaparts five
Speaker 2: percent off. You just take it check out and I
Speaker 2: walked away.
Speaker 11: And I told that poor guy was sitting it was
Speaker 11: it was late, Yeah, it was dark.
Speaker 5: Happened to drink and a cigar. He's trying to he's
Speaker 5: gutifully trying to.
Speaker 10: Get his his station charged.
Speaker 5: And Frank's like, yeah, go buy one.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I told that to the cab and Kyle looked
Speaker 2: at me. If I was there, I'll punch you in
Speaker 2: the nerds.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's sure. Yeah. Uh, let's okay. A couple of
Speaker 1: comments from the chat so k E six G A
Speaker 1: E the Hillbilly Ham. Uh. He says there will be
Speaker 1: a communication he's been chatting with me for a little bit.
Speaker 1: There will be a communication trailer on the and on
Speaker 1: the air station set up at the More Expo. So
Speaker 1: I think he's with one of the local clubs that
Speaker 1: comes out. So he's been he's been talking awesome to
Speaker 1: Chris also, So yeah, we're we're getting we're getting a
Speaker 1: bigger Ham radio presence here.
Speaker 2: I hope Alpha antennas set up at the front gate again.
Speaker 1: I hope so uh Veritas weasel. I'll come back to
Speaker 1: you here in a second, because I'm gonna let Rob
Speaker 1: answer your question. Let's see that this Chad, Chad k
Speaker 1: now that winter's coming, business is slowing down, focusing on
Speaker 1: getting licensed. Have failed the test twice the last two
Speaker 1: tests you can do it, man, so keep going. Don't
Speaker 1: let that discourage you. Go to q r Z or EHM,
Speaker 1: QRZ dot com or em dot net and practice and
Speaker 1: take their free practice tests and keep doing that until
Speaker 1: you get to eighty percent, until you get a consistent
Speaker 1: eighty percent pass rate, and then go take the test
Speaker 1: and you'll be done.
Speaker 6: Hot general.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, keep going, man, keep keep in contact
Speaker 1: with us and let us know how you do. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is good. David Pearson A brief A brief on
Speaker 1: why you're over landing radio coom suck because you mount
Speaker 1: the antenna this far off the body with nothing underneath it,
Speaker 1: and you're using a GMRS radio. But I don't have
Speaker 1: any problems with GMRS radio, but I like, I do
Speaker 1: like to poke fun where I can, so.
Speaker 2: So your GMRS will get out a quarter mile, my
Speaker 2: radio will get out a couple of miles. Actually, to
Speaker 2: be honest, I took I did a test here recently
Speaker 2: and at the mile mark. I did a mile mark
Speaker 2: and I couldn't get back to the house. And I
Speaker 2: think it's because Ulis has a bunch of hills.
Speaker 1: Could be yeah, I got.
Speaker 2: But I couldn't do it with the Freddy has the
Speaker 2: same issue.
Speaker 1: Now Freddy has the same issue, Yeah, with the handhelds.
Speaker 2: And I was kind of disappointed and I want to
Speaker 2: figure out why.
Speaker 1: All right, so this run right here. I'm gonna let
Speaker 1: Robert answer this, okay, so Veritas, Yeah, please recommend radios
Speaker 1: for m SAT. I assume he means satellite a UV
Speaker 1: eight seven eight to two plus or the UV nine
Speaker 1: p X any others. Question Mark, Well.
Speaker 3: Let's see those are those are both handhelds. Look, here's
Speaker 3: here's my recommendation. And anybody that's watched my channel, they
Speaker 3: already know what I'm gonna say. Yeah, I first of all,
Speaker 3: I recommend that you don't use a handheld. It's problematic. Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's you want to have success, right, right, and you know,
Speaker 3: getting a little bit of a little bit of success
Speaker 3: early and easy just kind of fuel the fire. Right.
Speaker 3: There's nothing worse than going out there trying to make
Speaker 3: a contact and struggling. You'll you'll put your radio aside
Speaker 3: and then you won't get back to it. So my
Speaker 3: recommendation is to pick up and ICEE twenty seven thirty.
Speaker 3: That's an icon mobile rig right, So here's the couple
Speaker 3: advantages you have you can go with more power than
Speaker 3: five watts. Right, That then will operate at five wats,
Speaker 3: fifteen watts or fifty watts. Don't throw fifty watts at
Speaker 3: the satellites, please, but you can throw fifteen watts at them,
Speaker 3: and you're going to have much greater success than you
Speaker 3: will using a five watt handheld. You can do it
Speaker 3: with a handheld. But you're going to spend about the
Speaker 3: same amount of money, right, maybe a little bit more,
Speaker 3: but about the same amount of money to get that
Speaker 3: Icom radio. It's a fantastic radio. It does anything you
Speaker 3: want to do from an f or from a analog
Speaker 3: radio perspective. It's only three hundred bucks. Get that radio.
Speaker 3: You will have success right tools.
Speaker 5: For the right?
Speaker 2: Does does Bill have an opinion on that? I saw him.
Speaker 11: I knew yeah that with me, say twenty seven, and
Speaker 11: I didn't know what to do thirty I knew what Robert
Speaker 11: was gonna say. He's from a guy who doesn't who
Speaker 11: had no idea how to get started. I followed his
Speaker 11: suggestions and that radio does well. Get yourself whatever, riggid,
Speaker 11: however you want, Amazon bag whatever everly stock Amazon chess,
Speaker 11: rig and follow Roberts just mimic him.
Speaker 5: Just do what he does and he I mean, he
Speaker 5: doesn't hide it. He'll teach you to do it the
Speaker 5: way he does it. He's successful.
Speaker 11: So follow someone who is successful and you will be too.
Speaker 11: Reinvent the wheel if you want to. I mean, that's fun.
Speaker 2: But that's a challenge for me. Man.
Speaker 3: Well, and there's certainly other radios out there. I see
Speaker 3: Jason says, what about any fifty seven D. Sure, if
Speaker 3: you've got one, right, Hey, if you've got a radio
Speaker 3: and you don't need to buy a radio, that's always
Speaker 3: your best bet, right, But if you're going to try
Speaker 3: to pick up an eight fifty seven D, you're going
Speaker 3: to spend a whole lot more money for a used radio.
Speaker 3: And like I said, three hundred dollars brand spanking new
Speaker 3: on that twenty seven thirty and it's a fantastic radio.
Speaker 1: Mikes, of course he does. The The eight fifty seven
Speaker 1: is just single band though, right, it is? Can you can?
Speaker 1: It's so it's not it's not full duplex duel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I see, you don't have.
Speaker 1: To you don't have to have dogs. Yeah, but you're
Speaker 1: talking about it if you're talking about me successfull yeah,
Speaker 1: right until you get good at it, yep, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: until you understand how it works and understand the nuances
Speaker 1: and get good at it and know what to listen
Speaker 1: for exactly, get it mean, get a dual band, a
Speaker 1: dual band full duplexing dual receive radio. It'll just be
Speaker 1: you'll you'll be a happier person for it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And get yourself an elk antenna or an arrow
Speaker 3: antenna and you'll be making contacts before you know it.
Speaker 10: Ye.
Speaker 1: Yeah, in a Yo and so n a Yo is
Speaker 1: offering to buy you a ninety seven hundred with a
Speaker 1: directional inten and auto frequency control. At least I assume
Speaker 1: that's what you mean, Mike, cause you're expended. You're you're
Speaker 1: suggesting the most expensive damn rig that we've talked about
Speaker 1: so far. So if if you contact inna Yo, you
Speaker 1: can tell him that Jason said that you'd help him
Speaker 1: out on that.
Speaker 2: Mike has my address and he'll send that to me.
Speaker 3: Hey, and remember Icon has the new black edition, yes
Speaker 3: twenty seven coming out, which it's the same radio, but
Speaker 3: it just looks I mean it's like.
Speaker 2: That sounds middle huh.
Speaker 1: It looks like yeah, it's.
Speaker 3: It's it's so cool looking. Yeah, it really is sweet.
Speaker 1: I saw a freaking I saw a freaking Instagram reel
Speaker 1: and it was the last scene in Rogue one where
Speaker 1: Darth Vader comes into the ship and he just completely
Speaker 1: annihilates all those guys and it was done to Hell's Bells.
Speaker 1: A freaking I'm like, oh my and it said the
Speaker 1: title was Darth Vader Hell's Bells makes or Hell's Bells
Speaker 1: makes Darth Vader much more scary, and I'm like, oh
Speaker 1: my god, that is freaking cool. It was really fun.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 11: Did I miss conversation about I don't interrupt the questions,
Speaker 11: but I'm curious. Did I miss conversation about Ham radio trailers?
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what we started on.
Speaker 1: We were talking about that before you joined us, Bill,
Speaker 1: so I I know you are.
Speaker 5: Going to do that, Jason. Did I hear that Roberts
Speaker 5: can do it too.
Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently Robert wants to compete with me, and I'm like, no, no,
Speaker 1: let's do it together so we can neither one of
Speaker 1: them screw up. So but yeah, yeah, he's he wants
Speaker 1: to do it as well, So I'm like, oh man,
Speaker 1: let's let's make this happen.
Speaker 3: So well, you know, it's it's a great idea, Bill,
Speaker 3: it just really is. You know when you think about
Speaker 3: needing you know, I I look, I love the hiker trailers,
Speaker 3: right and I love it that Kyle got I just
Speaker 3: don't agree. I just don't fit in those things.
Speaker 11: We'll tell you right now, if if if I had
Speaker 11: a change of mind a little bit.
Speaker 5: It's my thing is I need the toy hauller so
Speaker 5: that I can move my motorcycle around. I need to specific.
Speaker 11: But when I look at that hiker trailer, I see
Speaker 11: a fifteen watt capability tuner, fifteen amp a radio. I
Speaker 11: can see that radio, you know in the gallery, knowing
Speaker 11: that the Ford storage areas.
Speaker 3: Oh gotcha, gotcha, couple of fans.
Speaker 11: You know, I just what I'm getting at. You can
Speaker 11: you can make that trailer the way you wanted to.
Speaker 11: I'm sure if you get one hundred hands, you get
Speaker 11: one hundred and fifty different.
Speaker 5: Ways to make that trailer perfect.
Speaker 3: Well, they never stand up in it. Nobody's going to
Speaker 3: stand up in.
Speaker 1: It, right I can? I can, Well, I'll be able to.
Speaker 3: You think I don't think you can.
Speaker 1: Seven seven foot trailer.
Speaker 3: No, the hiker trailer, Hiker, the high Oh.
Speaker 1: The Hiker trailer. Well, okay, so Kyle told me at
Speaker 1: at Reneville last month, Hikers coming out with a new
Speaker 1: trailer that will be seven feet on one end. Oh
Speaker 1: they're going to announce that in January.
Speaker 3: So it's still not going to be cheaper than a
Speaker 3: oh no no, no, no, no, no, right, like a
Speaker 3: box trailer that you do your own thing with.
Speaker 1: Is my audio better, by the way, yes, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2: No, I don't here.
Speaker 5: I think you could stand up in mind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 11: You might have to duck under the air conditioner, you
Speaker 11: know that little panel, you know, like you might hit
Speaker 11: the duck. But it's seventh fu supposedly seven foot or thereabouts.
Speaker 11: I have I have no regrets.
Speaker 5: I you know, people, why would you do that?
Speaker 3: I can't, you know.
Speaker 11: I get some comments like you're gonna bounce your radio
Speaker 11: to pieces, and I'm like, well, it's a company that
Speaker 11: makes some radios for the military, and I'm not over
Speaker 11: landing with it.
Speaker 5: We'll see, you know, I'll find out you're absolutely right.
Speaker 11: I'm introducing forces to the radio that the radio would
Speaker 11: not get sitting in your hamshack.
Speaker 5: We'll see.
Speaker 11: But I don't regret it. Sitting there at Huntsville operating
Speaker 11: out of the trailer was so much fun.
Speaker 1: I imagine.
Speaker 5: So it's like pile ups is a hoot, you know.
Speaker 5: I know some people say, oh, that's cheating on.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm cheating on.
Speaker 5: Come on, I'm.
Speaker 3: Gonna sitting in your car.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, for us bringing the you know, one hundred
Speaker 2: watt radio with us, come on now.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: So I have a lot of fun with it. I again,
Speaker 5: I was designing while I was doing it. It's not
Speaker 5: a whole lot I would change. I would have done
Speaker 5: it at different intervals, you know.
Speaker 11: So I ran tons of cat cable, like twice as
Speaker 11: much as I needed, and it already came with with
Speaker 11: some twelve vault, but then I added the inverter and
Speaker 11: inverted charter and some security cameras, and I'm pretty happy
Speaker 11: with it. I would change some things, and you know what,
Speaker 11: it fills up real.
Speaker 1: Quick, right right. You probably get a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: in there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I'm having fun with it, I say, come on,
Speaker 5: come on, man.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of people in the chat right
Speaker 1: now talking about you have a trailer. John just said,
Speaker 1: we have three seventy one hundred radios of buddy hecks
Speaker 1: and two in feds four hundred A battery solar panels.
Speaker 1: So I would like to do some interviews with some
Speaker 1: people that have your own trailer already, So do you
Speaker 1: if you do have? And I want to get Bill
Speaker 1: on there too. We didn't get together at Huntsville. Are
Speaker 1: you going to bring that back to Huntsville this year?
Speaker 11: Bill?
Speaker 2: For sure?
Speaker 5: And that's my I'd like to move out of North Carolina,
Speaker 5: although that's.
Speaker 11: Really nice place for d X, but yeah, yes, but
Speaker 11: I I have to be I'm still working, so I
Speaker 11: have to be able to leave it in a secure
Speaker 11: place and still get back to the airport and leave
Speaker 11: it there for four days.
Speaker 5: And I just don't have a mind made up. So
Speaker 5: right now I'm still set.
Speaker 3: But what was I going to say?
Speaker 5: I can't remember?
Speaker 3: Come back to me.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's fine.
Speaker 2: You know who's you know.
Speaker 11: Who's got a nice one? And I'm sure everyone's is nice.
Speaker 11: But one that sort of inspired me in different ways
Speaker 11: is George from ham Radio work Bench just got one.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I think I've heard about this. I haven't
Speaker 1: seen it, but yeah, I heard that before.
Speaker 11: There's several out there and they're hey, I'm certain you
Speaker 11: know heads and tails about heads above mine. But as
Speaker 11: far as especially finishing, I'm not a finished guy. I'm
Speaker 11: not a decorator.
Speaker 2: How about Chuck's Chuck was the originator of the this
Speaker 2: build out process.
Speaker 11: Chucks is perfect for what Chuck wants. Chucks wants to
Speaker 11: move his dirt bikes, him and his friend's dirt bikes around.
Speaker 11: His is a sixteen by eight and a half. Like, no,
Speaker 11: sixteen by eight and a half. It's a it's a
Speaker 11: big boy. And he's got a nice lab in there
Speaker 11: where he can shower and do his thing. And he's
Speaker 11: got nice cabinets, he's got his radios. It's it's not
Speaker 11: it's what you want.
Speaker 1: I want to do all of that to mine. I
Speaker 1: want to do all of that to mine. I want
Speaker 1: to put a shower in it with a freshwater tank
Speaker 1: and air conditioner, heater, a whole nine yards, and I've
Speaker 1: got this whole Victron system. I've been watching videos about
Speaker 1: the Victron system and like this some really cool stuff,
Speaker 1: great stuff. So yeah, yeah, I want to do all
Speaker 1: of that. So uh, switching back to the uh satellite
Speaker 1: talk real quick, I I'm I guess I'm asking you
Speaker 1: this question, Rob, so he veritas weel same guy who
Speaker 1: asked the question before. He says, thanks, guys, I was
Speaker 1: thinking about the innytoe handheld for satellite because it automatically
Speaker 1: adjusts transmitting receive transmitting receive, he says, for Doppler shift.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so what do they have new? So they
Speaker 3: have some new firmware for that that will will adjust
Speaker 3: the frequency for you.
Speaker 2: Okay, what's whis radio.
Speaker 1: Eight handheld?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they just came out with that, don't know, maybe
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe three four weeks ago. It's fairly new.
Speaker 5: Me.
Speaker 2: It's just.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's that's pretty cool. But it sounds more
Speaker 3: daunting than it really is. Managing Doppler is not a
Speaker 3: big deal. You know, the first the first few times
Speaker 3: you do it, it's you know, you think you need
Speaker 3: to have eight arms and all the rest of that stuff.
Speaker 3: You get that pretty quickly. And you know, the way
Speaker 3: I manage mine is I set it for five killer hurts,
Speaker 3: five killer hurts steps, and so you know, you're adjusting
Speaker 3: the radio four times through the pass. It's not that
Speaker 3: big of a deal. You kind of hear the the
Speaker 3: the signals start to fade, and you just bump. You
Speaker 3: just bump to the to the next memory channel and
Speaker 3: you're good to go.
Speaker 1: Good to know. I didn't know that. I honestly did
Speaker 1: not know the answer to that. So that's good to know.
Speaker 2: So that's also that handheld is a full duplex.
Speaker 3: I believe it is a full duplex.
Speaker 1: Yes, the handheld is a full duplex. Yes.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 1: I wasn't aware that, Adam. What's yeah? Yeah, well this
Speaker 1: new one here, Rob, I don't know if you watched
Speaker 1: my video about this new any tone it says a
Speaker 1: couple of days ago. Yeah, so it says that it's
Speaker 1: satellite capable unlike the eight seven eight, And I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what that means because they're both full duplex.
Speaker 1: But supposedly this one has some more satellite capabilities in it.
Speaker 1: Then then then it's predis then maybe not since the
Speaker 1: firm working maybe maybe they're the same now that the
Speaker 1: new firm working out for the eight seven eight. But
Speaker 1: I was thinking about giving that to you and letting
Speaker 1: you play with it for a few weeks and seeing
Speaker 1: what you thought about it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I'd love to.
Speaker 1: But Adam K six r K, thanks for joining us, buddy.
Speaker 1: Good to see you out there. He made a comment
Speaker 1: that I wonder what you'd have to say that this, Robert,
Speaker 1: and I am not a satellite expert, guys, That's why
Speaker 1: I'm asking Robert these questions. I've never even made a
Speaker 1: satellite contact. Maybe also, so you know, you know how
Speaker 1: to you know how to not make contacts, Frank so
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. Adam says running low power on transmit gives
Speaker 1: you a better odd of hearing yourself on the down link.
Speaker 1: Fifteen watts on transmit made d sense enough to keep
Speaker 1: you from hearing some of the SFM SATs on the
Speaker 1: down link.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure what how Adam is running that,
Speaker 3: if he's running with two different handhelds or or what.
Speaker 3: But de sense is a thing. I mean, that's that's certainly,
Speaker 3: that's certainly problematic. I mean, some guys will run a
Speaker 3: filter to try to help to help with that, especially
Speaker 3: if they're running two radios. With the twenty seven thirty,
Speaker 3: you don't have to worry about that. That's another that's
Speaker 3: another great thing about that, you don't de sense yourself
Speaker 3: with that radio. I've certainly experienced that using two different handhelds.
Speaker 3: I've also experienced that using. I've used the eight eighteen
Speaker 3: to transmit, right, the YU eight eighteen to transmit, and
Speaker 3: I've used a an SDR on my phone running on
Speaker 3: my phone to receive. And wow, yeah that's pretty fun, right,
Speaker 3: I mean you have some neat stuff because.
Speaker 1: It really depends on where the receiver for the SDR
Speaker 1: software is that you're listening to, because you might hear yourself,
Speaker 1: you might not.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so I use an SDR dongle that plugs
Speaker 3: into you know, with one of those go cables, right,
Speaker 3: so you can put in your phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I've set that up with one of those new
Speaker 3: Lek SDR dongles and it works fine. But you'll d
Speaker 3: sense that if if you if you don't have a
Speaker 3: filter on there, or if you're running too much power.
Speaker 3: So Adam's absolutely.
Speaker 1: Right, okay, good to no good no, Yeah, but we
Speaker 1: don't have the problem with the twenty seven thirty. It
Speaker 1: kind of takes care of it for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: What about the V seventy one, does is it?
Speaker 3: Well? Yeah? V seventy one is another great radio to use,
Speaker 3: uh and a lot of people have those. That's a
Speaker 3: great satellite radio and you don't have to worry about
Speaker 3: the D sense issue there either.
Speaker 1: Okay, I have a V seventy one. I haven't messed
Speaker 1: with it in a long time, but that's the one
Speaker 1: that I was going to use with my R finder
Speaker 1: set up. Yeah, with the tracking arm, So.
Speaker 2: H good do you still have that?
Speaker 1: I still have it. Yeah. I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: still many factoris them or not, but it it's still
Speaker 1: out there and it still works. I mean like I
Speaker 1: haven't used it in a couple of months, but it
Speaker 1: still works.
Speaker 2: So I wanted to do a video on it originally,
Speaker 2: and I was waiting for you to get yours done.
Speaker 1: But he's got some uh, he's got some other issues
Speaker 1: he's working on right now, so I haven't. I haven't
Speaker 1: messed with it because he's got he's got other priorities,
Speaker 1: well not priorities, just he's there's some things that happened
Speaker 1: that he's trying to deal with right now. So okay,
Speaker 1: I don't want to say anything more than that, but yeah,
Speaker 1: I will respect that.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I I the the R finder was came
Speaker 2: on the the the satellite spot hot and I haven't
Speaker 2: heard too much about it kind of since then, and
Speaker 2: I wanted to play with it, but it's never got
Speaker 2: my hands on it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I've seen several people mentioned the
Speaker 1: f t X one, David, I see you talking about that.
Speaker 1: Somebody talked about it earlier. Guys. That radio is not
Speaker 1: out yet, so you know, in theory, yeah, it should
Speaker 1: work great, and it probably will, but we can't make
Speaker 1: a determination on that radio until we actually have one
Speaker 1: in our hands. That's the new YAZU q RP radio
Speaker 1: that the announced a couple of months ago. It won't
Speaker 1: be out till like freaking January. So oh, I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I've got I've got one on pre order. I can't
Speaker 1: wait either. It's it's it's awesome. It's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a fantastic radio. I'm gonna I know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: love it. But I I got two or three emails
Speaker 1: over the weekend asking me questions about that radio for
Speaker 1: some reason. I don't know why. Everybody's just talking about
Speaker 1: it again now. I mean, it's it's exciting, it's an
Speaker 1: exciting radio, of course, but I could well's. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be out before Christmas. I don't think
Speaker 1: it's gonna be January. Yeah, it's gonna.
Speaker 11: Has it been confirmed that that radio is gonna I
Speaker 11: have the ability to receive and transmit at the exact
Speaker 11: same time or is that still a rumor?
Speaker 3: I have heard that conflicting n Yeah, no.
Speaker 1: I think Paul was there, right, Paul was there, yeah, right.
Speaker 3: And I'm if I if I recall Paul said it's
Speaker 3: full duplex. He heard that it was full duplex. Paul
Speaker 3: was in the chat here. Maybe you can confirm, Paul.
Speaker 2: But I just I just.
Speaker 1: Right, I just don't want to speculate on that radio
Speaker 1: because it's not out yet. I will I will absolutely
Speaker 1: have one in my hands, use it and tell you
Speaker 1: guys what I think about it once it's available. I
Speaker 1: just but I keep getting Hey, so, how what what
Speaker 1: about this radio? I got an email just like yesterday,
Speaker 1: what about this new Yazy radio against this Icy seven
Speaker 1: O five? And I'm like, I don't know because I
Speaker 1: don't have both those in my hand right now. So
Speaker 1: in theory, the Yazu should be better simply because it's newer. Okay,
Speaker 1: that the ftd X ten is a better radio and
Speaker 1: the FT seven ten or better radios than the seventy
Speaker 1: three hundred because they're newer technology. Okay, seventy three hundred
Speaker 1: is a great radio, don't get me wrong. But yeah,
Speaker 1: until I have both of the in my hand, I
Speaker 1: don't want to speculate. So that's just that's just me.
Speaker 3: Hey, you know what, something just came to mind. Since
Speaker 3: we're riffing on satellites here. Yeah, that new firmware for
Speaker 3: that for that ht I forget eight. That's still going
Speaker 3: to have an issue with that with following with adjusting
Speaker 3: the the frequency for you. I mean, the TL data
Speaker 3: is going to need to be updated very frequently, right,
Speaker 3: That changes every four or five days, So you're going
Speaker 3: to have to have some way to update the t
Speaker 3: L information on that radio for it to be accurate.
Speaker 6: I heard they planned for that.
Speaker 2: Over a p R S.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Wow, tough crowd to Gosh, I got it, I got it.
Speaker 1: I got what you're saying, Tim, Yeah.
Speaker 3: But I was waiting for the rest of it.
Speaker 6: But right, Yeah, they're just gonna use a pr S.
Speaker 6: I mean, they're gonna have a good reason to use it.
Speaker 6: So updating a data on your on your handheld would
Speaker 6: be a good use.
Speaker 3: Right, So I mean that's that's the one problem I
Speaker 3: see with that approach is you've got to have a
Speaker 3: way to update that TL information regularly.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah, yeah, hm hmm. Interesting. Okay, So I
Speaker 1: guess Prepham Paul has a live stream starting in twelve minutes?
Speaker 3: Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yes? He usually it around eight thirty ish.
Speaker 1: I didn't Well, I'm out of the loop. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize he was live streaming on Sundays.
Speaker 2: He's been doing it for the past couple of months,
Speaker 2: but he just goes live around eight thirty, doesn't matter
Speaker 2: if we were running long or not.
Speaker 1: Do we do we have a link? Do we have
Speaker 1: a link to his live stream tonight?
Speaker 2: You can go ahead and you find it.
Speaker 1: Let's find a link to his live stream and sure
Speaker 1: it in the chat if we?
Speaker 2: Yes, sir?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah. The newest, the newest YAZ was in the
Speaker 1: hro O catalog. That's great, but I don't have one
Speaker 1: in my hands, so I'm not gonna speculate.
Speaker 6: Have they announced a price point in on that radio?
Speaker 1: Ah? Well, I don't think so. I haven't looked up.
Speaker 1: I haven't looked up once a week, do you Okay,
Speaker 1: I haven't looked i'n't looked at it since I did
Speaker 1: that video about it a couple of months ago.
Speaker 3: So I looked for the new twenty seven thirty. I
Speaker 3: looked for the new Ken. Yeah, there's nothing out there,
Speaker 3: you know. I'm looking for all three of those, and uh,
Speaker 3: I don't see any news on them yet.
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm interested in the icon only because
Speaker 1: I don't need another six thousand dollars radio.
Speaker 3: Uh that one, the twenty seven to thirty, right, that's
Speaker 3: the one up, the Black twenty seventh.
Speaker 1: Oh, the Black twenty seventh. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, cool.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't need another six thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: No, no, I was talked to you talking about that
Speaker 1: seventy seven to sixty. But I'm very much looking forward
Speaker 1: to both the Kinwin and the Yezu, so I might
Speaker 1: be picking both of those up.
Speaker 4: And if I'm not mistaken, the black edition of the
Speaker 4: twenty seven thirty provides no new functionality.
Speaker 3: It's just uh yeah, I think it's all cosmetic, cosmetic stuff.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well that's how the black.
Speaker 3: It's just quicked cool. It looks really cool.
Speaker 1: The black edition of the ID fifty two that I
Speaker 1: have is yeah, same way the same thing. I think
Speaker 1: it's cool looking, and I'm going to sell my original
Speaker 1: idea fifty two because I've got this anniversary edition that's gray.
Speaker 1: There's only like two hundred and thirty of them in
Speaker 1: the United States. But yeah, yeah, same thing. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just cosmetic.
Speaker 2: Prep pans Paul's stream topic. I already dropped the link
Speaker 2: in the chat and make a preparedness plan now, so
Speaker 2: I agree with that topic.
Speaker 3: Hey, and he just dropped a note that it is
Speaker 3: full duplex he which I'm assuming is somebody maybe behind
Speaker 3: the curtain, Yeah, behind the table said I told him
Speaker 3: directly that it is. So that's good. That's what we're
Speaker 3: counting on.
Speaker 1: I know that's right. Yeah, we're all going to rely
Speaker 1: on du Yeah.
Speaker 6: Did he tell you what the MSRP was going to
Speaker 6: be on that too?
Speaker 2: No, whoever, he don't think anyone right twelve if they're
Speaker 2: going to compete, I'm going to say eleven to twelve hundred.
Speaker 2: That will put it right on the icon level.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna probably I'm gonna say thirteen to fourteen because
Speaker 4: because the.
Speaker 2: Seven oh five is thirteen and some change, isn't it right?
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, Frank's thinking that they're gonna make it a
Speaker 1: little bit less than seven o five.
Speaker 3: I think they'll make it a little less.
Speaker 2: If you make it a little less, kind of undercut
Speaker 2: a little now, I.
Speaker 1: Think they might make it a little bit more because
Speaker 1: the MTD X ten was more than the seventy three hundred,
Speaker 1: and to.
Speaker 2: Say, but but it does a lot more, a lot
Speaker 2: more than the seven hundred. And it was when it
Speaker 2: came out, five not five, eight years newer than the
Speaker 2: seventy three hundred.
Speaker 4: Yes, you can't beat that fidelity on a seventy three hundred, though.
Speaker 1: I don't know, for I got some riddled deers man
Speaker 1: and Paul said, seventy the OVF. I don't get OVF
Speaker 1: flashing idiot lights on my FTD X ten, So.
Speaker 4: I don't either, But I mean I don't get I
Speaker 4: don't get overloaded my seventy one hundred.
Speaker 2: Well you know, I also don't have a mac, so
Speaker 2: I don't have any idiot lights around.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. That's a good point. All right, Hey, guys,
Speaker 1: thank you for joining me tonight. This was very last
Speaker 1: minute and I'm driving back up to the Hunting least tomorrow,
Speaker 1: hopefully after the weather clears. All right, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: cloudy and misty and kind of gloomy. But the deer
Speaker 1: move around in that crap. If it's thundering, they're not
Speaker 1: moving around. But if it's just kind of like cloudy
Speaker 1: and misty and kind of overcast, and the barometric pressure
Speaker 1: is all up and down, which is really good for fishing,
Speaker 1: the deer move around during that crap too. So hopefully,
Speaker 1: fingers crossed, we're gonna get some stuff.
Speaker 2: But all right, let's do a I call some sausage.
Speaker 1: Oh dude, I'm if we get that hog trap. So
Speaker 1: we were so I got that hog trap at the least,
Speaker 1: but we never set it up this weekend because well,
Speaker 1: not everyone showed up number one and number two it
Speaker 1: started raining on us today.
Speaker 2: Won't be out there in the rain.
Speaker 1: No, Sapphire would not be able to make it down
Speaker 1: the gleachy road, I don't think. But but yeah, as
Speaker 1: soon as we get that hog trap set up, we'll
Speaker 1: have some we'll have some pork to go around. But yeah,
Speaker 1: real quick, Okay, we got seven minutes, so real quick,
Speaker 1: let's uh, you guys tell me what's coming up on
Speaker 1: your channels next. Freddy, you go got some reviews coming up.

Speaker 7: how to use it, holler at me and I'll tell
Speaker 7: you how.
Speaker 1: Good information somebody else to the POC radio. It's kind
Speaker 1: of cool they send it to me.
Speaker 5: I'll check it out.

Speaker 1: What I'm coming up on your channel?
Speaker 2: Coming up my channel? I have the ultimate in the
Speaker 2: p O S category radios. Uh crap, I bought on TMU.
Speaker 2: Is it worth it?
Speaker 1: That's great, that's great.
Speaker 2: I really want to put that into the title, but
Speaker 2: I did it. But it's generally is it worth it?
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to backtrack on the radios like it's
Speaker 2: branded and I cannot find it in the phones catalog.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I get that stuff all right, So
Speaker 2: that's coming up tomorrow.
Speaker 1: All right, man, looking forward to it. Robert, what's up
Speaker 1: with you?

Speaker 3: the specs, so check that out. I also have a
Speaker 3: video coming out where I turn some jumper cables into
Speaker 3: power cables for a Victron energy charger, so that'll be
Speaker 3: the next thing out. And then I've got lots of
Speaker 3: antenna maintenance getting ready for contest season.
Speaker 2: Oh cool, that's a good idea.
Speaker 1: Good okay, Tim? What about you? What's coming up for you?

Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do that. Did it work for you?
Speaker 1: Did you get it?
Speaker 6: You'll have to see tuesday night.
Speaker 1: Okay. All you got to do is spot yourself on
Speaker 1: AM on the Poto website. You should be able to
Speaker 1: get it. Should be okay.
Speaker 4: What I will say is that I think we needed
Speaker 4: a little outreach. There are a number of people that
Speaker 4: don't maybe don't realize what AM sounds like when you're
Speaker 4: when you're.
Speaker 1: Not, don't know how to switch the mode between sideban
Speaker 1: and c W. Yes, there's a couple other modes in
Speaker 1: there guys.

Speaker 4: I've got a whole slew of things to do to
Speaker 4: get get the radios uh set.
Speaker 6: Up and and everything.
Speaker 4: So I've got a whole whiteboard of video ideas and
Speaker 4: things that I'm going to record while I'm while I'm
Speaker 4: building this out, and uh uh get some get some
Speaker 4: updated content out there on on things like grounding and
Speaker 4: and uh intended disconnects and and using some of the
Speaker 4: some of the tools like note red to to.
Speaker 6: Do station maintenance.
Speaker 4: Because it is a technically it's a remote station for me,
Speaker 4: so totally even though it's in my house, it's still remote.
Speaker 1: Yeah cool man, thanks for joining tonight. Bill. What about you?
Speaker 1: What's up with you?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 11: Winter comes and I generally slow down, but it's the
Speaker 11: video making videos, so I'm determined to finish that Mobile
Speaker 11: install series. It just it's undone and I haven't said
Speaker 11: everything I think I need to say, and you guys
Speaker 11: have probably all heard this before. But but I'm enjoying
Speaker 11: my radio. I'm doing a lot of remote radio stuff,
Speaker 11: things that I get a kick out of. But it's,
Speaker 11: for instance, I'll come on with one hundred and fifty
Speaker 11: two hundred LASH or something. I'll say if I'm sitting there,
Speaker 11: I'll say portable North Carolina, and they'll say, boy, oh boy,
Speaker 11: you're getting a lot of QRP radio. And I'll say,
Speaker 11: I said portable, not QRPH.
Speaker 3: I get it.
Speaker 11: And then if I'm in the airport or at a
Speaker 11: hotel or something, you know, after work, while I'm still
Speaker 11: at work away from home, I'll.
Speaker 5: Just go remote North Carolina.
Speaker 11: I'm just having a lot of fun with that, so
Speaker 11: trying to put some ideas in my head about putting
Speaker 11: some videos together that way. I don't know enough about
Speaker 11: other ways to do it, so it'll be general, Hey,
Speaker 11: you do it anyway you want to do it, you know,
Speaker 11: But anyway, just enjoying my radio and watching all you
Speaker 11: guys getting ready to move into Tim's new Hamscheck, and
Speaker 11: when he walks in one morning, I'll say, squatter.
Speaker 1: You need to do a video series about that trailer
