Speaker 1: sign up to join my email list of over nineteen
Speaker 1: thousand subscribers, where I like to send emails about upcoming events,
Speaker 1: upcoming shopping deals, keep you updated with all the stuff
Speaker 1: going on with my videos. Once that list reaches twenty thousand,
Speaker 1: I will be doing a giveaway of another HF radio
Speaker 1: sign up today and thank you for the support. I
Speaker 1: found another video online from another Hamm radio operator with
Speaker 1: the YouTube channel, and I will put links to his
Speaker 1: video and his channel into the description below. But K
Speaker 1: three jr Z was calling cq PODA on a frequency
Speaker 1: that he checked that he said is the frequency in use?
Speaker 1: Several times it was not. He was running a PODA.
Speaker 1: He was doing a QRP PODA and he was working stations,
Speaker 1: and then net control just started talking over him, reasons
Speaker 1: that I shall, reasons that I shall refrain from saying
Speaker 1: alloud on this video. Okay, so once again, guys, who
Speaker 1: owns the frequency? Who owns the frequency? This was posted?
Speaker 1: I have a YouTube, I have a Discord server, and
Speaker 1: this was posted to my Discord server. I have a
Speaker 1: channel in my Discord server for other YouTubers to post
Speaker 1: their videos, and that's where I found this video from
Speaker 1: K three JRZ. And this is a pretty good video.
Speaker 1: It falls in line with several of the maritime mobile
Speaker 1: net videos that I've posted about in the past. This
Speaker 1: was not maritime mobile net. In fact, this was on
Speaker 1: ten meters. This was on ten meters. So I don't
Speaker 1: know what net. I don't think he ever actually says
Speaker 1: what net interfered with him, But some nets somewhere interfered
Speaker 1: with him, and he handled it very well. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: put it that way. He handled it very well, probably
Speaker 1: better than I would have. And we're gonna look and
Speaker 1: see exactly what he did with that right now. So
Speaker 1: check this out. Fast forward in the video until the
Speaker 1: part that we want to talk about today.
Speaker 2: Tell the six Well, so we got two conversations going,
Speaker 2: so I'm out of here and so cut.
Speaker 1: This is the station he just worked on PODA.
Speaker 3: But I am probably lower power seventh three.
Speaker 1: I'm I think I heard him say net frequency and
Speaker 1: he's doing PODA. I think that's what I heard. Now.
Speaker 1: This is the FX four CR radio, which is a
Speaker 1: neat little radio that I own myself. I want to
Speaker 1: take it out and do poda. But the ears on
Speaker 1: it may not be as good as you know, maybe
Speaker 1: your your icon or something like that radio. So let
Speaker 1: me see if I can get a little bit more
Speaker 1: of that in the shot. There there we go, just that,
Speaker 1: just a touch. So the ears on it may not
Speaker 1: be quite as good. But this is ten meters. This
Speaker 1: is ten meters, okay, And there's not as much activity
Speaker 1: on ten meters as there is on twenty all right.
Speaker 3: I could barely hear him now other station, but I
Speaker 3: could barely hear him, and he could get bent putting
Speaker 3: it nicely.
Speaker 1: Okay. So this guy that you can hear talking right now,
Speaker 1: this is the guy that K three JRZ just worked.
Speaker 1: So this is the this is the hunt, the poda
Speaker 1: hunter that he just worked.
Speaker 2: Lot of them too. When you over the key, you
Speaker 2: run over somebody.
Speaker 1: Yes, it is okay, this is awesome right here nine
Speaker 1: Part sub Part B from Part ninety seven dot one
Speaker 1: oh one General Standards. Each station licensee and each control
Speaker 1: operator must cooperate in selecting transmit channels and making the
Speaker 1: most effective use of the amateur service frequencies. No frequency
Speaker 1: will be assigned for the exclusive use of any station
Speaker 1: and part D. No amateur shall wilfully or maliciously interfere
Speaker 1: with or cause interference to any radio communication or signal.
Speaker 1: The net heard me and interfered. I did not hear them.
Speaker 1: That's the The text in red is what he put
Speaker 1: in this little screen cap. This overlaid that he did
Speaker 1: so that so that that brings up a good question.
Speaker 1: If you're calling c Q on a frequency and the
Speaker 1: net just starts and runs over the top of you,
Speaker 1: who's it fault? Okay, let's let's go. This is really
Speaker 1: good off.
Speaker 2: I can't hear you. He was going to move and you.
Speaker 1: On top of the can't can't can't really hear that
Speaker 1: net station at all. Most of these net control operators
Speaker 1: are pretty loud also, so I'm surprised we can't hear
Speaker 1: this guy.
Speaker 3: Michael, you gotta walk away from the radio before you
Speaker 3: replay a G seven q H. Thank you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the way. You kept it down and tried
Speaker 2: to walk all over the top of it so we
Speaker 2: couldn't move off frequently.
Speaker 1: Warm Now he's arguing with the guy, and I can't
Speaker 1: really hear the net control station at all. But K
Speaker 1: three j r Z's not transmit. He's he stopped his
Speaker 1: pode at this point in time, You guy, you got
Speaker 1: bob over on over sounds like somebody else talking saying
Speaker 1: they didn't even check it the frequencies in use. They
Speaker 1: just started a net Uh yeah, yeah, that's what they do.
Speaker 1: Not all of them, not all of them, Not all
Speaker 1: a net control operators are that much of a jackwagon.
Speaker 1: Not all of them are that way. Okay, I want
Speaker 1: to make it clear. I don't think all of them
Speaker 1: do this, but the ones that do this get called
Speaker 1: out like this guy is calling this, this other dude out.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sas has been walked a ready quite a while.
Speaker 2: Quanto pot has got it on this great Quantine. The
Speaker 2: only reason hearing before is because the band band. When
Speaker 2: the band came, he was happy to move off Freequentcy.
Speaker 2: What your net control deciding? He was like, key up
Speaker 2: and complain that somebody was on nor frequency, which you
Speaker 2: already know is not in a fight.
Speaker 1: Yes, and so the net control most net control are
Speaker 1: most planned nets have a backup frequency. Most of them
Speaker 1: will have a backup maybe even a two backup frequencies,
Speaker 1: a secondary and a tertiary frequency. Most of them will
Speaker 1: have that they say, okay, if the if the frequency
Speaker 1: is in use, we'll meet on the backup frequency. And
Speaker 1: I have been calling PODA on frequencies before, never on
Speaker 1: ten meters. Ten meters is very wide banded. We have
Speaker 1: like like from twenty eight dot three all the way
Speaker 1: up to like twenty eight dot seven or eight or
Speaker 1: something like that. I can't remember. The technician section of
Speaker 1: the band is twenty eight three to twenty eight dot five,
Speaker 1: but the general nextra section of the band for a
Speaker 1: single sideband voice goes up higher than that. So we
Speaker 1: have a long area, very wide banded area as compared
Speaker 1: to like twenty meters, which is only like fourteen dot
Speaker 1: two two five to fourteen dot three fifty for generals.
Speaker 1: So you're talking about barely over one hundred killer hurts
Speaker 1: wide there where ten meters is several hundred killer hurts
Speaker 1: wide twenty eight three to twenty eight six seven eight
Speaker 1: something like that. There's a lot of room on the
Speaker 1: ten meter band for you to move your net to
Speaker 1: or pick a secondary frequency, or for the PoTA station
Speaker 1: to move. I have been activating PODA before, and I've
Speaker 1: had some very polite net control operators come on and
Speaker 1: maybe they'll even work me be able to say hey,
Speaker 1: this is UH and they'll give their call sign. You know,
Speaker 1: here are you calling PODA. I's like, yeah, I got
Speaker 1: you in a log wuick ban you're five to seven
Speaker 1: five eight cool? Thanks. Hey, By the way, we have
Speaker 1: a net starting on this frequency in about fifteen, twenty minutes,
Speaker 1: ten minutes, whatever, whatever the time is. Would you mind
Speaker 1: moving for the net? And I'd be like, and you know,
Speaker 1: if he is nice and polite to say, sure, man,
Speaker 1: I'll move for you, no problem, Yeah, sure, I'll do that.
Speaker 1: We were calling CQ on twenty meet I think it
Speaker 1: was twenty meters at the Rendezvous event in the Ozarks
Speaker 1: in October of this year. October of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: Colin I were there and I worked, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I worked a few stations. Then Kyle got on Sideman
Speaker 1: and he was working I think he had his eight
Speaker 1: ninety one, so he was working one hundred wats but
Speaker 1: he was on sideband NOTT CW And some guy gets
Speaker 1: on there and says, hey, we got a net that
Speaker 1: started two kcs below you, would you mind moving? And
Speaker 1: Kyle's like, well, I only need two or three more contacts.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna stay here and get my contacts then
Speaker 1: I'll be done. But they just their net just was yeah,
Speaker 1: the very bad QRM from their net, So they could
Speaker 1: have dropped down a CAC or two themselves and been
Speaker 1: not interfering with the station that was there before them
Speaker 1: as well. So you kind of get it from all
Speaker 1: sides sometimes. Let's finish up this video real quick from
Speaker 1: K three j r Z because I think he handles
Speaker 1: it very well. I think he handles it very well. First,
Speaker 1: let me tell you about Mezzi and ploniko acts. If
Speaker 1: you're doing PODA, or even if your net control and
Speaker 1: you're running a net station, or if you're out there
Speaker 1: just working HF in the field, I recommend Mezzi and
Speaker 1: Ploni coacs made in Italy. You can save a ten
Speaker 1: percent on all of their products, coax connectors, tools, everything
Speaker 1: with the coupon code of HR two Cables. I'll put
Speaker 1: a link in the description blow to the Gigabarts website
Speaker 1: and to Mezzi dot it, which is their own website
Speaker 1: in Italy. HR two Cables saves you ten percent off
Speaker 1: of everything on both of those websites for Messi and Plonies.
Speaker 1: Be sure to thank him for sponsoring him Radio two point.
Speaker 2: Zero just flying with that worthy. He couldn't hear anybody.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, you're operator your net control with war.
Speaker 1: He's got a linear amplifier. Nobody can hear him.
Speaker 2: Wow. Just so we couldn't suit the contact and we
Speaker 2: uh so basically a selfie. I can't believe.
Speaker 3: Apparently the other station from MET just doesn't know when
Speaker 3: to give up. There was a net that somehow got
Speaker 3: onto my frequency after about fifteen minutes or so, after
Speaker 3: hopping on the air for fifteen minutes or so, they
Speaker 3: kind of stuck him behind me, underneath of me or whatever.
Speaker 3: Alpha GOL seven, Quebec Hotel. Michael, thank you very much.
Speaker 3: I really appreciate it. Yeah, people, you can't get boo
Speaker 3: shape if the station can't hear you. You know, I've
Speaker 3: moved frequency plenty of times when another station, either a
Speaker 3: PODA station or a net, somehow it comes on top
Speaker 3: of me.
Speaker 1: And I hope that music doesn't interfere with my video,
Speaker 1: and then.
Speaker 3: I realized that I can hear them, and then I'll
Speaker 3: move a lot of times when I've called to another
Speaker 3: PoTA station or just some station calling CQ, they don't
Speaker 3: hear me. It happens. It's radio and fob.
Speaker 1: Very very well said. Long story short, you don't own
Speaker 1: the frequency, and neither do I. None of us owns
Speaker 1: the frequency. If you get out there and say frequency
Speaker 1: and use frequency and use frequency and use and give
Speaker 1: your call sign and no one replies, and you start
Speaker 1: calling CQ, even if you're even if you're net control,
Speaker 1: you should get on there and say is a frequency
Speaker 1: in use? And then if you hear someone come back, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm calling cqpota. Do you want to work me? You
Speaker 1: get a CQ poto cqpoda and then you can be
Speaker 1: polite and say, would you mind moving? If it's me,
Speaker 1: I want to put you in my potolog book. I
Speaker 1: want to work you. I want your call sign, your
Speaker 1: name and call sign in my logbook. And then if
Speaker 1: your plight and ask me to move, I'll be happy
Speaker 1: to move. But if you're just if you're just gonna
Speaker 1: plow on through me or try to this guy. This
Speaker 1: guy apparently tried to plow through and that other guy
Speaker 1: said he was using a linear amplifier. But you couldn't
Speaker 1: hear the guy. You couldn't hear the net control station.
Speaker 1: So I don't know and of course the AG seven
Speaker 1: station was in a different location than K three Jrz was,
Speaker 1: So changing locations gets you to hear more things on
Speaker 1: the band. You might be able to hear better here
Speaker 1: and there, you might have better access to different parts
Speaker 1: of the band and whatnot. So it makes sense that
Speaker 1: he couldn't hear this guy. This was a PoTA activation
Speaker 1: done exactly the way it should have been done. Okay,
Speaker 1: because we didn't see K three jrzed. We didn't see
Speaker 1: him key up again after this guy was trying to
Speaker 1: run him over with this net. And let's face it,
Speaker 1: these nets they get that. I think these nets get
Speaker 1: a little bit out of control. If you ever look up,
Speaker 1: if you ever google HF nets, there's one that happens
Speaker 1: almost every hour of the day, seven days a week.
Speaker 1: I'm like, really, do we need forty seven hundred nets
Speaker 1: every day? I don't have anything against nets. I checked
Speaker 1: into two or three nets on my last road trip.
Speaker 1: I got my TS four ADHX in the car. I
Speaker 1: think I checked into the o Miss net and maybe
Speaker 1: one or two others. So I don't remember exactly where
Speaker 1: they were. But if I hear someone calling for a
Speaker 1: net asking for check ins, I heard the wildnet. I
Speaker 1: just kept rolling through that because the wildnet calls for
Speaker 1: check ins and then you never hear any wiles on it,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, what's the point. But it's still a
Speaker 1: net out there that has a right to a frequency
Speaker 1: as much as I do, but you don't have more
Speaker 1: rights to it. So have you ever been trying to
Speaker 1: activate PODA or have you been calling CQ one on
Speaker 1: a frequency? And how to a net try to run
Speaker 1: you off? Have you ever done that? If you are
Speaker 1: a net control operator, how would you handle someone on
Speaker 1: the frequency your net that is scheduled on because it's
Speaker 1: not your frequency? How would you handle someone if there's
Speaker 1: someone if you have a net that starts in fifteen
Speaker 1: or twenty minutes, and you hear someone on the frequency
Speaker 1: that the net, that the primary frequency that the net
Speaker 1: is on, how would you handle that? I would like
Speaker 1: to know your thoughts. Put a comment in the description
