Speaker 1: t R Digital Rancher has joined us, and this is
Speaker 1: the camp site. This is my seat, that's the hot seat,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna well that's probably true. Yeah, you can
Speaker 1: thank AT and T for that. I don't know what
Speaker 1: to tell you on that.
Speaker 4: But Wayne B says you're a new YouTuber.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's also true. Yep, this is my first day
Speaker 1: on YouTube, so we're good with that. I can hear
Speaker 1: like three people watching the stream behind me. They don't
Speaker 1: know how they don't know how to mute.
Speaker 7: Correct games out there in the chat, Hey Steve, Well, Steve,
Speaker 7: we've got Kyle out there.
Speaker 2: Kyle.
Speaker 1: I think Kyle was one of the first ones in
Speaker 1: the chat. Actually, yeah, good game. Are you coming to
Speaker 1: hamcash cook question for one.
Speaker 2: But this is kind of like you of this truck, Rob.
Speaker 1: Kyle. We relived that today, So I let Rob have
Speaker 1: the front seat of my truck. And I was like,
Speaker 1: because we don't want to we want to squish Robin
Speaker 1: the way he had to ride across Montana that way.
Speaker 1: So that was that was funny. So, uh we are
Speaker 1: clock Eastern time? Yeah yeah, yeah, so God's time, we
Speaker 1: have correct we have.
Speaker 4: O'clock.
Speaker 1: So Paula just hit her head on that, so she's
Speaker 1: had too much to drink and we're yingling for her.
Speaker 1: That was the rule that A. C. K came up
Speaker 1: with yesterday. I'm just saying, so, why don't you tell
Speaker 1: everyone about what we're doing with meshtastic at this ham.
Speaker 7: Cas Well, We've got we've got the fair grounds covered.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very oh we've.
Speaker 7: Got several solar nodes set up all over the fair grounds.
Speaker 7: We've got the Spec five relay that's up about sixty feet.
Speaker 2: That's the highest one we've got.
Speaker 7: The ham Cation crew also has a couple of solar
Speaker 7: nodes that are in very advantageous area outside.
Speaker 2: We have one of the area. So this place is
Speaker 2: lit up with nine fifteen.
Speaker 1: Right now, you have a specific QR code, got a
Speaker 1: couple of channels. Yeah, there's a ham Cass twenty five
Speaker 1: QR code. And then you need to set your your
Speaker 1: modem for or your is it a modem protocol whatever
Speaker 1: it is for short fast for short fast and turn
Speaker 1: off MQTT turn that thing off. And we want three
Speaker 1: hop limit three hot. Well, I think that's default.
Speaker 2: It may be.
Speaker 1: I think three hop. I didn't change that on mind.
Speaker 1: When I went into mind to change that, it already
Speaker 1: said three hop limit.
Speaker 2: But you know, I know when everybody just starts playing.
Speaker 1: With us, they play with all right, change everything.
Speaker 7: It's good to give folks some guidance there, right. Also,
Speaker 7: local only is a device setting that we do, right, Yes,
Speaker 7: local only Yeah, and you know, I think so far,
Speaker 7: let me see what the node count is and these
Speaker 7: are this is everybody that has followed.
Speaker 2: Directions more or less.
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, challenge.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so so far and it's early. We've got thirty
Speaker 7: five folks that are configured and on the mess right now.
Speaker 1: It'll it'll catch back up here.
Speaker 3: So if the mesh Tastic will be counting pull the most.
Speaker 1: For stories, Oh I certainly hope. So I certainly hope.
Speaker 2: So yeah, Yeah, Bill's back here, hiding somewhere there he is.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Bill's back here. We got Bill Jason, Tim Dave
Speaker 1: Wyatt v h Q hex Dave. He doesn't want to
Speaker 1: be on camera, but you guys come see his booth
Speaker 1: this weekend. Frank is here. Uh, Steve Kale four a
Speaker 1: fl is here, a spectator. You're Sean, I'm a local.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right. Oh yeah you were at the PoTA thing. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right. Okay, got a local here, somebody who just
Speaker 1: wandered in. You got poor powers here. Yeah, there we go.
Speaker 1: So so we're gonna it's been the weather out here
Speaker 1: has been great. And uh they've got like Michael said
Speaker 1: on livestream two Sundays ago, they got fifteen new vendors
Speaker 1: here at him cashin. They've ever had before the Armor
Speaker 1: Loot guys are here their first time ever. They're actually
Speaker 1: camped right behind us. I thought they might come over
Speaker 1: and see what's going on over here tonight, but we'll
Speaker 1: probably get a knock on the trailer about twelve thirty saying,
Speaker 1: you guys shut up, we'll see.
Speaker 7: We need to we need to drag them in early
Speaker 7: so that they're part of the festivities there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then they can't say anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true, that's the plan, but that's it.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So mestastic really good coverage over the whole park, and
Speaker 1: there was some I saw a couple of nose up
Speaker 1: at the PoTA spots, so a couple of people lot
Speaker 1: and running at the Potat spot as well.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so we're seeing lots of people get involved with Meshtastic,
Speaker 7: which is fun.
Speaker 2: What else is going on here early?
Speaker 1: You doing any satellites?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I looked for that antenna.
Speaker 2: Yeah I look.
Speaker 7: Yep, Jason came for a ck brought the ELK antenna
Speaker 7: again for me.
Speaker 2: Thank you, Jason. That's always much appreciated. Uh.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'll certainly find a couple of passes. What I
Speaker 7: like to try to do is find a pass that
Speaker 7: allows me to kind of get right in the middle
Speaker 7: of everything. Yeah, you give everybody a chance to see
Speaker 7: what's going on, So I'll certainly look for those opportunities.
Speaker 2: Got everything here to do that good.
Speaker 1: Have you heard from Tom and Sloan? Are they going
Speaker 1: to be here?
Speaker 2: I have not heard from them.
Speaker 1: No, all right, they I was I was riding my
Speaker 1: bike over there in that area earlier today because they
Speaker 1: always set up right there by the food truck. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and uh, and I thought about them when I was
Speaker 1: riding by. I was like, I wonder if they're going
Speaker 1: to be here this time or not. They're always chasing satellites.
Speaker 1: Say they do sideband satellites, Tom does, He does a
Speaker 1: lot of sideband satellites.
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, but well, you know a lot of times
Speaker 7: they're they're working with the able r L right right,
Speaker 7: And they usually have a schedule at the a double
Speaker 7: r L booth for when they'll be working passes, and
Speaker 7: they work both linear and FM birds on their schedule.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's so, a linear bird is a sideband
Speaker 1: bird HF.
Speaker 7: It's still two meters seventy centimeters, but it's working on
Speaker 7: a transponder which has bandwidth as opposed to a single
Speaker 7: frequency repeater, so you can have several Yes, you can
Speaker 7: have several several conversations going on on that satellite at
Speaker 7: the same time.
Speaker 2: Are still on a two meter band? Are there any
Speaker 2: side band?
Speaker 1: Is there such a thing as an HF satellite?
Speaker 7: You know, there have been some satellites that have had
Speaker 7: some different frequencies. Okay, there's some ten meter frequencies.
Speaker 1: Sloan was working with like two or three years ago.
Speaker 1: He was out there and I think that was at
Speaker 1: him vention, But he was working satellites with a an
Speaker 1: older icon.
Speaker 2: That's that's what he uses.
Speaker 1: That's it's not but it didn't have too It didn't
Speaker 1: have VHF. It was just an HF for it was
Speaker 1: like a seven. It was like it wasn't a seven
Speaker 1: fifty six. But if something similar to that.
Speaker 7: That's the same radio he uses today. That's his two
Speaker 7: meter seventy centimeters It is too Okay.
Speaker 1: I thought it was an HF only radio. I can't
Speaker 1: remember which exactly which one it is, but okay, all right,
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, those.
Speaker 7: Guys are here sometimes. I mean they're always at h
Speaker 7: There's they're always at Dayton there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I bet they'll be here tomorrow. Be surprised
Speaker 1: me if they are.
Speaker 2: Yeah, hopefully, it's always good to see those guys. So
Speaker 2: what somebody's asking, is it worth coming to ham cash Crop.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely worth coming to ham Cashon if you enjoy
Speaker 1: this type of activity. This is the second largest ham
Speaker 1: fest in the United States that happens every year. So
Speaker 1: if you enjoy that type of thing, yeah, it's totally
Speaker 1: worth it.
Speaker 2: And it's not just the ham Fest, right, it's this.
Speaker 2: It's camping, it's hanging out, it's uh, it's.
Speaker 7: Going, it's doing the podah outings.
Speaker 2: It's it's all those things.
Speaker 1: On top of my cigar box. They're Frank, bring me
Speaker 1: one of those roths trials please, and that and that
Speaker 1: wooden box next to it. Yeah, where's the q r'
Speaker 1: A good place to find that.
Speaker 2: So there, it's in a few places.
Speaker 7: First of all, I'll plug my channel Digital Rancher go
Speaker 7: out there on YouTube. You'll find it as in a post.
Speaker 7: I have that listed as the current post. It has
Speaker 7: both the YouTube channel as well as the Hamcas twenty
Speaker 7: twenty five channel. It's also in several Discord Thank you
Speaker 7: if if you guys are Discord users, what you got there?
Speaker 1: Charter Oak roth trouts. Look, you know the bad thing
Speaker 1: about a cigar that size? This will be my third
Speaker 1: one today.
Speaker 2: Is that really the bad thing? Na?
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it depends on how you look
Speaker 1: at it. Dave said these are a great end of
Speaker 1: the day cigars, but I'm like, nah, I smoke one
Speaker 1: of these at eight thirty this morning.
Speaker 7: So but yeah, you can also find those QR codes
Speaker 7: in the Toads hamcation.
Speaker 1: Just because that camera's really wobbly, just be careful with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not oncas. Discord is another great place to
Speaker 2: go find that real quick.
Speaker 7: And then you know also here at the show you'll
Speaker 7: be able to find it around the show floor.
Speaker 2: I know that Spec five is there with those at
Speaker 2: their booth as well. Yep.
Speaker 1: Off the satellite stuff like weather satellites have built, so
Speaker 1: I have repeated questions.
Speaker 7: Yeah, so the question was do I do any of
Speaker 7: the other kind of satellite related activities, And I've not
Speaker 7: that long ago, just a few months ago, I built
Speaker 7: one of the the egg beater antennas for weather satellites.
Speaker 7: So that's that's something that's pretty fun, right that and
Speaker 7: that's easy to do, and that's it's really cool to
Speaker 7: pull those weather images off those satellites, right, that's I mean,
Speaker 7: that's one of those things that gives you a.
Speaker 2: Lot of satisfaction.
Speaker 7: It's like, Wow, that's I just pulled that image off
Speaker 7: that satellite and this is Yeah, this is what's going
Speaker 7: on on the planet right now.
Speaker 2: So there's something really cool about that.
Speaker 7: There's a there's a satellite that was launched I think
Speaker 7: it was in December.
Speaker 2: It's the Ligno SAT satellite.
Speaker 7: It's a it's a Japanese satellite that's primarily made of wood,
Speaker 7: and it has some interesting aspects to its communications capability.
Speaker 2: They haven't published how.
Speaker 7: To interact with that yet, but I keep trying to
Speaker 7: interact with it to see if I can figure it
Speaker 7: out before they get it published.
Speaker 2: So yeah, so I try to get involved in some
Speaker 2: of those other things as well.
Speaker 7: Oh yes, I mean in most cases, in most cases,
Speaker 7: they're circularly polarized right because they're tumbling right in space.
Speaker 7: So you certainly will do very well if you've got
Speaker 7: a circularly polarized antenna, or you can do it the
Speaker 7: way I like to do it by hand and just right.
Speaker 7: You just rotate the satellite and you just listen to it. So,
Speaker 7: but there are some cool things, right, you can pull
Speaker 7: s STV images off of the internet National Space Station,
Speaker 7: so that's a related aspect as well. So yeah, there's
Speaker 7: there's lots of things that you can do besides just
Speaker 7: talking to people.
Speaker 2: Garbage. Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah, there's a great channel out there called Save for
Speaker 7: Parts and uh, you know that guy.
Speaker 2: I would love to meet that guy.
Speaker 7: Sometimes he's just a wild man, but he's great at
Speaker 7: taking you know, those kind of derelict pieces of satellite
Speaker 7: equipment and refurbishing it, reusing it, hacking into different satellites, right,
Speaker 7: trying to figure out what frequencies they're on, how they're configured,
Speaker 7: and pulling data off them. So yeah, that's that's an
Speaker 7: aspect of the hobby. I've not got into some of
Speaker 7: those things. I'd love to talk to him though. He's
Speaker 7: got a lot of great knowledge and he's got a
Speaker 7: really great channel too. If you guys have not seen
Speaker 7: Save for Parts, check him out.
Speaker 2: He's a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: I keep seeing meshtastic messages, I know, I noticed occasions
Speaker 1: across my screen.
Speaker 2: There nodes, messages all, yeah. Stuff.
Speaker 1: A lot of a lot of people, a lot of
Speaker 1: people in the Mettastic system.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's fun stuff. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Uh So in the in the in the Going Home
Speaker 1: series that you're you're reading now, so like around book
Speaker 1: eight or nine, they meet up with the guy that
Speaker 1: brings them Yeah the spoiler alert, this doesn't ruin the
Speaker 1: story at all though. They meet up with the guy
Speaker 1: that brings them images of a storm of from a
Speaker 1: satellite of a storm that's coming into the area, and
Speaker 1: they're like yeah, and they're like, how did you get this?
Speaker 1: And he's like, well, I mean that the satellites are
Speaker 1: still up, we just don't have anything to read it.
Speaker 1: He's like, I built an antenna and I and he
Speaker 1: talks about how he does that and like so he's monitoring,
Speaker 1: Like he's like he is Noah weather now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's no weather now.
Speaker 1: So it's like, okay, so you could actually read the
Speaker 1: images from the satellite. A common person, if they know
Speaker 1: what they're doing, can read the images from the satellites
Speaker 1: and get data that way.
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, there's there's uh, there's satellites that published
Speaker 7: the information and how to pull those images. And one
Speaker 7: of the things that the Safe for Parts guy does
Speaker 7: is he pulls some of those images from military satellites
Speaker 7: which are not published, right, which requires a bit more.
Speaker 2: Tinkering or you know what.
Speaker 1: Some they call hacking, but we'll call it tink We'll
Speaker 1: call it tinkering.
Speaker 2: We'll call it tinkering.
Speaker 9: I know.
Speaker 7: Hey, that's that's his argument and I support them. But yeah,
Speaker 7: there's uh, there's satellites up there that are that are
Speaker 7: sending information to Earth and it's there for the for
Speaker 7: the taking if you can, if you can figure it out,
Speaker 7: that's good.
Speaker 3: So you.
Speaker 2: Had a couple of questions about the you're smoking.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just became.
Speaker 2: Welcome to intro.
Speaker 1: Oh, welcome to intro. Thank you, Steven. I know you've
Speaker 1: been there before, so thanks for This is a charter
Speaker 1: Oak Rothschild. It's a little short stick. It's like maybe
Speaker 1: a forty six ring gauge, I don't know. And it's
Speaker 1: like a like a almost like a mini Robusto. It's
Speaker 1: a great, great smoke for something quick and easier if
Speaker 1: you don't have much time type thing.
Speaker 2: So or not the third cigar of the evening, or it's.
Speaker 1: The third cigar of the evening. Yeah, so comes if
Speaker 1: you guys are at handcashion go see Dave at v
Speaker 1: h Q. X go see his booth, and uh he

Speaker 7: show up and say, hey Dave, Yeah, I hear.
Speaker 1: Don't ask him for a cigar, No, just go see
Speaker 1: his his awesome antenna that he's got. But if you
Speaker 1: already cigar person, he will talk cigars with you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, trade a cigar with him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do some trades with him. That's a great idea.
Speaker 1: So a free cigar with every antenna.
Speaker 2: Hey, always a salesman.
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, I don't think. I don't
Speaker 1: think Jay Zu, Kenwood or Icon are going to say
Speaker 1: that this weekend. So you know, that's that's pretty unique,

Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Sure. So it's digital Rancher on YouTube.
Speaker 7: You'll see digital Rancher with a three as the last
Speaker 7: E and the U and rancher on X.
Speaker 2: I know somebody else already stole it, so don't give
Speaker 2: me any don't give me any business there.
Speaker 7: Well, but I do a lot of satellite stuff. I've
Speaker 7: been doing a lot of fantastic stuff. It's just a
Speaker 7: lot of fun. And then just any other kind of
Speaker 7: quirky thing that catches my attention at the time. Uh,
Speaker 7: you know, nine it is ham radio related, a little
Speaker 7: bit of Linux stuff, just a weed a little bit.
Speaker 7: I've been doing some stuff with some laptops and upgrades,
Speaker 7: some little things like that. But uh, of its ham
Speaker 7: radio and I'm just having fun with it.
Speaker 1: Really good satellite. Do you want to know about satellites
Speaker 1: or even meshtastic? Robert actually knows more than I do
Speaker 1: about meshtastic. I usually call him and say, how do
Speaker 1: you do this thing? So it's really good?
Speaker 2: Well, no, I would I do that.
Speaker 10: I didn't.
Speaker 3: I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, we'll see. So thanks man, thank you
Speaker 1: for being here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, who's next? Do you want to drive somebody?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, because I want him to talk. I want
Speaker 1: you to talk about the day out thing.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah.
Speaker 1: And then oh and by the way, here's the handoff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's the handoff. By the way, those of you who
Speaker 1: are on win link, Jason has been getting me more
Speaker 1: interested in win link, and I'll give credit to Mike
Speaker 1: kdem Erdy. We did some win Link stuff at Winterfield Day. Now,
Speaker 1: I've had a win link account for like three maybe
Speaker 1: four years something like that. I'm not new to it,
Speaker 1: but I'll use it very commonly. Send me a win
Speaker 1: Link email. I will reply to you if correct me
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. If you're sending it from like a
Speaker 1: Gmail or a regular email address, it's just your call
Speaker 1: sign at winlink dot org.
Speaker 11: Correct. Okay, Now, you got to defeat the spam filters.
Speaker 11: So in the subject line, if you're sending from an
Speaker 11: Internet account, yes, you need to put forward slash forward
Speaker 11: slash w L two k in the very first part
Speaker 11: of the subject line. That will bypass all of the
Speaker 11: spam filters. Otherwise it will not come through from an
Speaker 11: Internet account. Now, if you're sending win Link to win Link,
Speaker 11: that never gets till you know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, win linked to wind Link is easy. If you
Speaker 1: have a win link account, send me a win Link email.
Speaker 1: I sent several emails to people earlier today and yesterday.
Speaker 1: So and I did some location spot and some position
Speaker 1: reports from the park today and from our campsite here yesterday.
Speaker 1: That position reporting thing is really cool. It's just something
Speaker 1: I just recently learned about. But okay, so forward slash
Speaker 1: forward slash w L two k win link two thousand.
Speaker 11: Yes, okay, and spell it right, not like Mike.
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't spell it like like Mike's fell stuff. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So we are doing I say we you
Speaker 1: guys are doing with the Daytona Beach Amateur Radio Club.
Speaker 11: Is that correct, Daytona Beach Amateur Radio Association Association. Okay,
Speaker 11: I'm not really a part of that. I've just tried
Speaker 11: to help promote it.
Speaker 1: Gotcha.
Speaker 11: It's the APRS day Out, yes, uh. And for more
Speaker 11: information on that, you can actually go to tiny dot
Speaker 11: CC Forward Slash Day Out and that's got all of
Speaker 11: the details. But basically, if you're here on site, we're
Speaker 11: running one five eighty five for the frequency and then
Speaker 11: the APRS path is Temp one one, So don't run
Speaker 11: your normal wide one one wide two to one. You
Speaker 11: want to run Temp one one. And all of those
Speaker 11: details are at tiny dot CC Forward Slash Day Out.
Speaker 1: It's been kind of a cool thing to uh to see.
Speaker 9: Uh.
Speaker 1: I've seen like what eight or nine stations on.
Speaker 7: It so far.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I me and that it hadn't even started and
Speaker 1: had yeah, hamm Cashon hadn't even started yet technically, so
Speaker 1: we've seen eight or nine stations on it. I've got
Speaker 1: Miken wib seventy four on it and it's working great
Speaker 1: and we send some messages back and forth.
Speaker 11: And we do have Mike Aati Marde programmed for that.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he was actually able to configure a radio,
Speaker 1: which is an accomplishment for Mike. So well, it's an
Speaker 1: accomplishment for APRS for Mike and he is his own
Speaker 1: enemy wors sending me on that as well. But yeah,
Speaker 1: it's yeah, so it's it's just a different frequency with
Speaker 1: a different path and it's just here at ham Kshon.
Speaker 1: It's kind of a neat thing. It's a cool way
Speaker 1: to see how APRS works on a smaller scale. Yes,
Speaker 1: you can see how it works on a smaller scale
Speaker 1: to get a better picture of how it works on
Speaker 1: a larger scale when you're out and about in the world. Right, okay, right, cool,
Speaker 1: so good, pretty.
Speaker 11: Cool stuff to do, and uh, everything is staying here local.
Speaker 11: The Daytona Beach Amateur Radio Association's got a dig you
Speaker 11: Peter set up so even the hds are easily heard.
Speaker 11: That's on a pretty good antenna. Uh, and we'll reb
Speaker 11: podcasting basically cover the entire fairgrounds here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, with that digit Peter good good so.
Speaker 11: And if you want to know how to configure your radio,
Speaker 11: if you do, go to that tiny dot cc forward
Speaker 11: slash day out. There's directions there from a video that
Speaker 11: I did for both the Kenwood D seventy five and
Speaker 11: the Yazoo FT five okay, which are the probably the
Speaker 11: most popular radios on the market right now. For APRS.
Speaker 1: The Kenwood D seventy four is exactly the same as
Speaker 1: the Kenwood D seventy five. The menus are almost identical. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're they're pretty much ichentical, and the FT three is
Speaker 1: fairly similar, yeah.
Speaker 11: Other than a few little changes there. It's if you
Speaker 11: follow the FT five directions, you'll be able to fight
Speaker 11: your way through it on an FT three.
Speaker 1: Okay. But the Mike set it up on his his
Speaker 1: VGC radio, yes, okay.
Speaker 11: Now I didn't cover that in the video, so I
Speaker 11: don't have directions for that, but yes, it's possible with
Speaker 11: a VGC radio with the UV Pro, which is that
Speaker 11: sister radio.
Speaker 1: The Beattech yep.
Speaker 11: And you can even do it in APRS Droid.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's right. Yeah, you can change the path. I mean,
Speaker 1: apr astroid is very powerful anyway, so I've never tried
Speaker 1: changing the path, but I know where that setting is.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 11: No, you can absolutely do it with aprs SKA.
Speaker 1: So you could aprs droid to like with a dig
Speaker 1: you rig to any radio really, if you have it
Speaker 1: a movie lank droid, did you rig well?
Speaker 11: And the cool thing is if you're running those VGC
Speaker 11: or the UV pro with a Bluetooth TNC, you can
Speaker 11: connect that right up to apr astroid yep and configure
Speaker 11: it to run that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 11: So yeah, I'll find that a little easier than using
Speaker 11: the VGC software.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah. The first thing I did with my BTech
Speaker 1: was connected to apr as droid. When the beta kiss
Speaker 1: T and C Farmer came out, upgraded that connected it
Speaker 1: to aprs stroid on my Android phone and it worked beautifully.
Speaker 1: There was no problem at all. It's a good system.
Speaker 12: So Jody's saying that he needs a new poster to
Speaker 12: hang up in his bedroom wall, and what's no one
Speaker 12: there's going to be an updated ham Tubers group photo.
Speaker 1: I just decided that to pray, well, we'll get one.
Speaker 1: This weekend. We'll get one this week. I was gonna
Speaker 1: take one at the PoTA Park and you know, people
Speaker 1: started clearing out shortly after we got there. I don't
Speaker 1: know if there's a hidden meaning behind that or not,
Speaker 1: but you know, uh it was. It was right after
Speaker 1: the pizza was done also, so that's probably more likely,
Speaker 1: but it was. I don't know, but but yeah, yeah, chat. Oh,
Speaker 1: my wife is in chat. Hey, honey, Noles in chat?
Speaker 1: What's up? Dude? Hey, Noah sent you a message on discord.
Speaker 1: I was wondering the updates on the thing we were
Speaker 1: talking about last last week. So no, rush Man, I'll
Speaker 1: get with you next week. Good deal, anything else. I
Speaker 1: can't see the chat from my phone because my phone's
Speaker 1: right there. You guys are watching from my phone, So
Speaker 1: all these guys are watching the chat for you.
Speaker 2: Uh u.
Speaker 5: D R wants you to get dipole from tar Heels so.
Speaker 1: You can do some testing, and a die pole from
Speaker 1: tar Heel where they used the two target. I would
Speaker 1: love to let me tell you something that tar Heal
Speaker 1: what he calls the little HP pro that I did
Speaker 1: a video on. He's got a manual version where you
Speaker 1: just move it up and down. It's not like motorized.
Speaker 1: And then he's got a motorized version now too. That
Speaker 1: thing is freaking awesome. It is a great antenna. If
Speaker 1: it comes it doesn't, I don't remember if it comes
Speaker 1: with the tripod or it has a tripod, but it
Speaker 1: has a tripod that you just set on the ground.
Speaker 1: So if you go to a PoTA park, a national
Speaker 1: park somewhere where you don't you they don't like you
Speaker 1: hanging stuff in trees or drilling stuff into the ground,
Speaker 1: it just sets right there on the ground. It's got
Speaker 1: an adjustable vertical antenna. I've activated half a dozen parts
Speaker 1: with that. It works very well. So I'm gonna take
Speaker 1: one of my new in fact, I need to get
Speaker 1: that new uh. I'm gonna show off that new explorer bag.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take one of my explorer bags and put
Speaker 1: just that tar heel stuff in it, and it's gonna be.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be. That's gonna be one of the packs
Speaker 1: that I carry when I'm on road trips. But yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll I'll talk to Robert. He's gonna be here. Targ
Speaker 1: Hill's gonna be here this weekend from tar Hill Designs
Speaker 1: dot com. Go check out that website and I'll talk
Speaker 1: to him about getting one of their pools. I'd love
Speaker 1: to have one. But he says that. When I was
Speaker 1: talking to him at hand vention, he says he has
Speaker 1: people hang those in their attic if they're in an
Speaker 1: h o A oh wow, He'll he'll have people hang
Speaker 1: those in their attic. And he's like he's people give
Speaker 1: good reports about it. He's like, hey, it's better than nothing. Right,
Speaker 1: you can't have an antenda at your house. So that's
Speaker 1: pretty cool.
Speaker 2: So is a byepole?
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, there's two. Yeah. So it's got a center
Speaker 1: load where you mount it, and then it's got a
Speaker 1: motorized version that's hurt horizontally on either side with a
Speaker 1: whip and then the motor. The motor moves in and
Speaker 1: out simultaneously on both sides. Yeah, he has pretty slick
Speaker 1: He had those at him mention. I was like, man,
Speaker 1: that is a cool system, but it's not as good
Speaker 1: as a hex being put his starring close, So anything else,
Speaker 1: I think that's it? Okay, man, thanks for being here.
Speaker 11: Yeah, absolutely, who's next?
Speaker 1: You want the hot seat? Are you sitting there because
Speaker 1: you want the hot seat?
Speaker 5: Or okay? Okay, all right, I'm a local.
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, yeah, you are a local. You could just yeah,
Speaker 1: just there you go. So what's up?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Good?
Speaker 3: How are you?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 10: Good?
Speaker 1: Tell everyone your name and your call sign.
Speaker 8: I'm Sean KK for Golf Delta, Mike live in the area.
Speaker 8: Got my license, uh three ham Cations ago. Okay, I
Speaker 8: got the general and Tech on first visit, and then
Speaker 8: last year got my extra which is cool that I
Speaker 8: couldn't do thisir you know, because you have to study
Speaker 8: for the test and be ready on Friday morning. Oh yeah,
Speaker 8: that's the best time to take your test. If you're
Speaker 8: going to do it a Ham Casions, do it Friday.
Speaker 1: Get out of the way. Don't clutter up your Saturday
Speaker 1: with trying to take a test. You missed the whole
Speaker 1: show that way, because you're working at it.
Speaker 2: You do.
Speaker 8: And uh so this year I'm able to enjoy it,
Speaker 8: bring out the camper and chill it with you guys.
Speaker 1: Nice.
Speaker 8: But and I've done the PODA last year and this year.
Speaker 8: I didn't know about it year prior.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I.
Speaker 8: Enjoying it hand radio and there's so many parts of
Speaker 8: it that I've been getting sidetracked into. Meshtastic is my
Speaker 8: new endeavor. Okay, I don't have any meshtastic equipment now,
Speaker 8: but that will be solved after Saturday.
Speaker 1: There's at least two mess Tastic vendors here this weekend,
Speaker 1: first time, but I think it's the first time that
Speaker 1: Seed has been here. Yeah, first time they've both been here.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the mesh Tastic is entering the ham radio
Speaker 1: world and doing well, doing well. I mean, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's open source, it's it's on an itsm ban on
Speaker 1: nine hundred megrants at least in the USA it is,
Speaker 1: so it's public ban. Anybody can use it. You don't
Speaker 1: have to have a license to use it. But hams
Speaker 1: are all about communication and it's just another form of communication.
Speaker 1: So it's it's been real popular with that.
Speaker 8: And I looked at their map and where I live
Speaker 8: in northwest Orlando, no nine noes, not one node, nothing,
Speaker 8: And I'm a little disappointed at the participation that this
Speaker 8: area has had. Some wanting to put a note up, uh,
Speaker 8: you know, one public like maybe out an outdoor external
Speaker 8: one sure, and then play with a couple of small units,
Speaker 8: you know, by myself, but.
Speaker 2: Just because you don't see them on the internet. Metchastic
Speaker 2: map doesn't mean that they're not there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they have to go and manually add those, so
Speaker 1: they might actually be nodes out there that you don't
Speaker 1: know about. Yeah. Yeah, So what I would do if
Speaker 1: I were you going there tomorrow, there's going to be
Speaker 1: local HAM radio clubs around the Orlando Ham Radio clubs
Speaker 1: and local suburb hand radio clubs, and just go up
Speaker 1: through their tables and ask them if they've ever done
Speaker 1: anything with mess tasting, because some HAN radio clubs are
Speaker 1: actually buying into it and putting up nodes and whatnot.
Speaker 1: I know that's true in my area in Texas, so
Speaker 1: it wouldn't surprise me there's someone out here doing something
Speaker 1: even if there's not on the map. So I'm a
Speaker 1: I'm a big cyclist.
Speaker 8: I'll let you ride on bicycle to work and stuff
Speaker 8: forward for at T and uh and I had like
Speaker 8: a sixteen mile ride to work that I've been wanting
Speaker 8: to put a mesh tastic node on my handlebars.
Speaker 1: That's a great idea. That's a great idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: That's a wonderful idea. Yeah, hopefully be a repeater. So
Speaker 1: so Frank and Rob flew to Orlando from from DFW
Speaker 1: and they each had their best tastic nodes on the
Speaker 1: same flight, and they were messaging each other back and
Speaker 1: forth on the plane. Please turn off all of your
Speaker 1: communications devices.
Speaker 4: Sure, we will.
Speaker 8: I think they say cell phone. So the cell phones? Yeah,
Speaker 8: yeahs on.
Speaker 1: The cell phone radio was off. Obviously you know what
Speaker 1: they're they're playing. Didn't crash or didn't run into a
Speaker 1: blackhaw helicopter. So I think it. I think it's all good,
Speaker 1: you know, don't give you the thumbs up. You know,
Speaker 1: it was a safe activity, a safe activity.
Speaker 5: There you go.
Speaker 2: Where we got that.
Speaker 1: You're playing?
Speaker 8: Communications is in one Yeah, it's like a m yeah, yeah,
Speaker 8: it's we're nice each other all.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't think it does. I think that's
Speaker 1: a holdover from a long time ago when the instruments
Speaker 1: were maybe more susceptible to r f I. But I
Speaker 1: don't think cell phones actually do interfere with them. Now
Speaker 1: that's my own personal opinion. I don't know that. Don't
Speaker 1: quote me. There a problem by now the smoke detectors,
Speaker 1: is they interfered with smoke detectors. I had not heard that. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, well, we don't want those working anyway. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: totally sweet. Well, thank you Sean, thanks for being here.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: It's good. Good to meet you. Good to see you

Speaker 9: our little podep and everybody's sitting around.
Speaker 5: Smoking crs, playing with their mesh.
Speaker 9: There's been more mesh tastic talk here than Ham Radio
Speaker 9: or maybe fifty to fifty there.
Speaker 1: See, most of the talk here has either been aprs
Speaker 1: or mesh tastic one you're right, one yes, yeah, one,
Speaker 1: the PRS or messagestic Yeah, and we're we're mostly monitoring
Speaker 1: one forty six four five simplex as well. Although did
Speaker 1: did we decide to change Jason? Did we just decided
Speaker 1: to change that? Five?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: What do you have to So so we've we've been
Speaker 1: on one for five, but earlier this afternoon somebody was
Speaker 1: using Fusion digital on that frequency. So if we noticed that, uh,
Speaker 1: there's too many people using fusion or maybe it's d START.
Speaker 1: I think it was fusion, some kind of dvmote simplex
Speaker 1: on that frequency, we might switch to one forty six
Speaker 1: stop four to eight, but so far we're on one
Speaker 1: forty six four five, So you guys look for us.
Speaker 1: There a lot of activity on six top five two.
Speaker 1: Of course, we're just trying to move some of the
Speaker 1: activity off of the main channel. So but it's good
Speaker 1: Bill what you were talking about early or you were talking, well, oh,
Speaker 1: did you make any CW contacts with your cat?
Speaker 5: I did not.
Speaker 9: I was running my mouth chatting with everybody. I actually
Speaker 9: I did not. At the park, I didn't pull it out.
Speaker 9: Maybe I'll get another chance here, but I pulled it
Speaker 9: out when we got back here. Of course it's not
Speaker 9: a park. Mike in for Fox Fox Fox was doing something.
Speaker 9: I think he might have been doing the PODA. He
Speaker 9: came up on my hand alert, so I was trying
Speaker 9: to get him. But the bands were coming in and
Speaker 9: out today, so there was a lot of fading, like
Speaker 9: i'd hear whoever he was talking to. So I didn't
Speaker 9: hear a c q r q r z. I'd hear
Speaker 9: whoever you was talking to, and it would just fade all.
Speaker 2: The way out and.
Speaker 9: I didn't hear anything that gave me a point to
Speaker 9: jump in. So I listened for a while. So I
Speaker 9: did pull out the kh one here at the at
Speaker 9: the command post, at.
Speaker 1: The compound, at the compound compound, No, this is the
Speaker 1: Texas compound. That's Texas. There five people from Texas here.
Speaker 1: Tennessee's close enough to Texas here. Where are they from?
Speaker 2: Carolina?
Speaker 1: South Carolina? Okay, that's good enough, I guess.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, honorary Texas.
Speaker 1: Honorary Texans. Been to Texas a few times. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: Texas outnumbers most people here.
Speaker 5: I was based in Houston for a while, so I
Speaker 5: have lived in Texas. I lived in Houston.
Speaker 1: You're thinking about moving back?
Speaker 5: Thinking about it, man, thinking about it?
Speaker 1: Moving You can do field Day in winterfield Day with
Speaker 1: it's a much easier field.
Speaker 5: Winterfield Day is a blast down there in Galveston.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had a good time with it last year.
Speaker 5: So what what is what are you excited about for
Speaker 5: this one? As far as what we're gonna.
Speaker 1: See Hamcashon, I am. I am excited to see Spec
Speaker 1: five here as a mesh tastic vendor. Seed Studios as well,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be here M and L Electronics or whatever
Speaker 1: they are. Somebody's watching the live stream, but uh so
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see them. I'm excited for the new
Speaker 1: the new Icon radio, the IC seventy seven sixty, which
Speaker 1: has been in retail stores for about a month. I
Speaker 1: think I assume I assume that Icon will have one
Speaker 1: of those displayed here because they've been people who have
Speaker 1: ordered them, they've been shipping.
Speaker 11: I did there, street, Yeah, yeah, there.
Speaker 1: I saw a post on Facebook from Ray like about
Speaker 1: a month ago saying we're starting to ship these to
Speaker 1: the retailers h ro O, mt C, Giga Parts, and
Speaker 1: so pre orders from those websites have been going out.
Speaker 1: I don't know how many. I don't think they've all
Speaker 1: been filled, but you know, they're starting to fill orders
Speaker 1: for those.
Speaker 5: I don't know how I missed that, but I'm not
Speaker 5: in the market for another.
Speaker 1: Big radio, right, Yeah, but I would, but I would
Speaker 1: love to get it, says no. I would have to
Speaker 1: get a video about that this weekend. So just assuming that,
Speaker 1: assuming that Icon has those radios here at their booth
Speaker 1: this weekend, which I assume they will. I'm gonna get
Speaker 1: a video about them.
Speaker 5: I want to see a prototype of the new Yay soup.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that Yesuo has a prototype something knock at
Speaker 1: q REP. Yeah, which one? The twenty seven thirty B
Speaker 1: might be here, y'all. That's true release biable. I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna buy one, but Biable like released.
Speaker 2: Like arriving in stores next week.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so that would be a big surprise. That would
Speaker 9: be nice if they actually had them here for sale. Yeah,
Speaker 9: I've seen retailers do that kind of thing before. Guess
Speaker 9: what early release by right here?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, at full retail because it's brand new, the
Speaker 1: twenty seven thirty B or the seventy seven sixth I
Speaker 1: that radio has been out long enough now, they started
Speaker 1: shipping your retailers long enough now that it would not
Speaker 1: make sense that they did not have one. So I
Speaker 1: assume that they do have one.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I won't recognize it. I'm used to seeing it
Speaker 9: as a bunch of boards laid out.
Speaker 1: It looks like a seventy six to ten but upgraded.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I know y'are.
Speaker 11: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if it's not in pieces, we may not know
Speaker 1: what it is.
Speaker 12: Seventy seven sixty is deliverous four days or in Canada.

Speaker 1: So absolutely, glad you're here, man, Glad you're able to
Speaker 1: get off work.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I appreciate you making room for me.
Speaker 1: So we rented a tailor. As you guys, if you've
Speaker 1: watched my live streams, you know, we rented a trailer
Speaker 1: from a local guy. It sleeps five of us in there.
Speaker 1: It's a thirty five foot bumper pool Jco, which is
Speaker 1: pretty cool. We were comfortable in there last night, but
Speaker 1: we were talking earlier today about possibly renting a trailer
Speaker 1: this size roughly for ham Vention, because I've had a spot.
Speaker 1: I've had a spot reserved at ham Vention for the
Speaker 1: last three or four year or something like that, and
Speaker 1: I usually pull my trailer down there. But I think
Speaker 1: it's going to be cheaper too, because my trailer will
Speaker 1: only sleep three people, depending on which trailer I have
Speaker 1: at the time, and if it falls apart between here
Speaker 1: and there, so so, but my trailer only sleeps three
Speaker 1: people me and two other people. But if I can
Speaker 1: rent something locally in the Dayton area that'll sleep five
Speaker 1: or six people, and then we can split the cost
Speaker 1: between everybody and I don't have to drive the thing
Speaker 1: back and forth from Dayton to Texas at and back.
Speaker 1: Then it might be a better plan to do something
Speaker 1: like that. So we're looking at doing that for him
Speaker 1: mention coming up in May. It's just an idea we
Speaker 1: hatched earlier this morning, and nothing set in stone yet,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna do some research on it and see
Speaker 1: what we can find. So all these guys have claimed
Speaker 1: beds in it already, I think for watching out appreciate
Speaker 1: you guys watching for sure. Good deal but where did
Speaker 1: Tim go? I was gonna call on him next Tim, Tim,
Speaker 1: you want to sit down.
Speaker 5: Here's the hot seat. Okay, hey guys, he's gonna say,
Speaker 5: plug yourself.

Speaker 5: over there. Totally.
Speaker 1: Thanks Bill, Thanks man play, appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Thank you.

Speaker 1: That's right. What's up, buddy? How you do it?
Speaker 4: I'm doing pretty good? How about yourself?
Speaker 2: Pretty good?
Speaker 4: This has been been a fun, exciting adventure.
Speaker 1: And it's uh huh and it just started and its
Speaker 1: just technically it hadn't even really started yet. It starts
Speaker 1: at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
Speaker 4: It's true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, but uh, I always liked I always like
Speaker 1: to get here early because this is this is a
Speaker 1: fun time to me just to hang out do the
Speaker 1: poda thing. Got a new park activated today, a new
Speaker 1: park in my own logbook. I'm at ninety three unique
Speaker 1: parks activated.
Speaker 2: That is cool.
Speaker 1: So I'm working towards that. So I need seven more
Speaker 1: parks to get to a hundred unique parks activated. So
Speaker 1: that's one today that I got that.
Speaker 3: That's cool, you know.
Speaker 4: And it's nice thing, especially when you get an opportunity
Speaker 4: to drive around the country. Yes, to have something to
Speaker 4: do while you're there.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, just it's not just going and showing up
Speaker 12: in a in a different state or something like that.
Speaker 12: You actually have something to do to uh as a
Speaker 12: as an activity or as a destination when you're there. Now,
Speaker 12: I don't know about your wife. My wife, you know,
Speaker 12: we went on that staycation. She's like, oh, there's there's
Speaker 12: a parko there, you can do a poda. Ten parks
Speaker 12: later she was like, I don't think I should have
Speaker 12: said that to you.
Speaker 3: Hey, we had fun though.
Speaker 4: We had I had fun.
Speaker 1: My wife has planned as a trip for this coming
Speaker 1: July where we're going to drive to Colorado and there's
Speaker 1: four national parks in Colorado. So we're going to make
Speaker 1: a circle around Colorado and hit all four of those
Speaker 1: national parks and we're gonna stay and we're gonna rent cabin.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do any tent camping when we're gonna
Speaker 1: rent cabins in almost every national park or nearby somewhere.
Speaker 1: And I'm going to activate the natural parks and one
Speaker 1: one point time, we're going to go down to four corners.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna activate it four times because you just walk
Speaker 1: across the border. You activate it from this state. I
Speaker 1: walk across the border from this state. So you you
Speaker 1: can't do all four states at once because you have
Speaker 1: to be in the state.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I thought, I think that's weird.
Speaker 1: Where Yeah, it's a little weird, right, yeah, exactly places they.
Speaker 12: Should they should make a special exception specifically for four
Speaker 12: corners to stand right on the medallion.
Speaker 1: I would yeah, I'd be okay with that, but uh yeah,
Speaker 1: but yeah, I mean that way, you can activate four
Speaker 1: states in like half hour. So because you just tell
Speaker 1: everyone once you get activated in the first stage, just
Speaker 1: like all right, and one stand by, I'm gonna step
Speaker 1: ten feet to the right.
Speaker 4: But it's the same part, right, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the same entity. It's just you know, how
Speaker 1: you go like a like a historical trail, right will
Speaker 1: travel through many states or a natural park and when
Speaker 1: you when you if you have an updated piece of
Speaker 1: software like Hammers or Polo or something, you go in
Speaker 1: there and you say, I'm at this park, and I'll
Speaker 1: ask you, well, what state you're in, and then you
Speaker 1: put in the state and then you go from there.
Speaker 1: So that's how I'm gonna do four Corners. So that's
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun activation this coming July.
Speaker 5: But that's it.
Speaker 1: That's gonna be a total poda uh coda rich and
Speaker 1: filled with poda trips. So that's gonna be fun.
Speaker 4: Sounds like it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So have you ever been out there?
Speaker 5: I have not.
Speaker 12: When I was in the Navy, I drove from Virginia
Speaker 12: Beach where I was stationed to Indiana, from Indiana down
Speaker 12: through Dallas, Texas all the way across, and I've never
Speaker 12: wanted I've never wanted to drive ever again.

Speaker 1: a waterproof material. That they're calling a waterproof.
Speaker 10: Saiale.
Speaker 1: I already forget, I already forget what that it's. It's
Speaker 1: what they make waterproof sales for out of sailboats, like
Speaker 1: competition racing sales for. So it's a it's a waterproof
Speaker 1: sale cloth, salecloth. That's new waterproof sale cloth. So you

Speaker 13: grill good After you said, hey, I'm gonna be cooking burgers,
Speaker 13: then hey, Frank, go cook coat burgers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I asked you.
Speaker 4: I asked you to you did you did?
Speaker 3: I'm just giving you a hard time, I know, but yeah, man,
Speaker 3: I'm relaxing now. I got a Damnon Off cigarh.
Speaker 13: The one, the last Davin Offs I had from Michael
Speaker 13: Okay my Patreon, Michael Uber Patreon. That would be special
Speaker 13: to break out and enjoy with everybody. Hey there's another
Speaker 13: mestastic note.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I keep seeing the messas notifications.
Speaker 3: Across and now I got Buffalo Trace my cup yep,
Speaker 3: and we do have a we do have.
Speaker 1: A Texas Bourbon bar over here. I got three different
Speaker 1: bourbons from Texas. Someone brought a bottle of Buffalo Trace
Speaker 1: and I traded bottles of bourbon with came for Acyk.
Speaker 1: He brought me a bottle of Tennessee Bourbon and I
Speaker 1: gave him a bottle of Texas Bourbon, another one that's
Speaker 1: just his. And then Frank brought some weller.
Speaker 3: I brought roller, so we drank the weller. It's gone.
Speaker 1: We draked some fun.
Speaker 3: But you convinced me.
Speaker 13: So for the longest time, I've been staying away from
Speaker 13: t X whiskey. About ten years ago I had and
Speaker 13: it was this vanilla garbage that was only good for mixing.
Speaker 3: They probably still have it, but I've just been staying
Speaker 3: with it. Was that their thing.
Speaker 1: I think you're thinking of something else. I've literally seen
Speaker 1: a vanilla Texas whiskey. J Absolutely, you can on my channel.
Speaker 3: Jason brought the TX bourbon.
Speaker 1: Huh.
Speaker 3: I said, fine, I'll try it, and all right, you
Speaker 3: changed my mind.
Speaker 1: So for the last three maybe three years, I think
Speaker 1: k and fort a Ck has brought me a bottle
Speaker 1: of Chattanooga whiskey to Huntsville. He just brings it and
Speaker 1: he hands it to me. I'm like, thank you. And
Speaker 1: this was kind of before I was into bourbons and whiskeys.
Speaker 1: So he's part of the reading that I spent so
Speaker 1: much money at the liquor store. I hope my wife
Speaker 1: is still watching. It's kind of his fault. It's partly
Speaker 1: your fault. Two friends. So last year I took him
Speaker 1: a bottle that Texas bourbon. So there's a TX bourbon
Speaker 1: and a TX whiskey. The whiskey's good, the bourbon's much better.
Speaker 2: The bourbon's dark, a darker color.
Speaker 1: So to me, it's liken to a natural wrapper cigar
Speaker 1: or a Moduro cigar. I like the Moduro cigars better.
Speaker 1: So I've found that I like the darker colored bourbons
Speaker 1: and whiskeys better. I don't know if that has anything
Speaker 1: to do with anything wrong.
Speaker 13: Flavors that will complement themselves pretty well. Yes, well, especially
Speaker 13: if you're just drinking a bourbon and smoking a cigar.
Speaker 13: You just can't have a light or medium body cigar
Speaker 13: because all the nilts from the cigar, you're going to
Speaker 13: lose it. And that's why you need like a more stronger,
Speaker 13: full body Maduro cigar.
Speaker 1: So I took. So I brought Jason a bottle of
Speaker 1: t X Bourbon last Huntsville last year, last August, and
Speaker 1: I gave it to him. We traded, We said thank you,
Speaker 1: and went out the weekend and I texted him byt
Speaker 1: a week later. I'm like, so, what'd you think? And
Speaker 1: I was really scared that he was gonna say, what
Speaker 1: is this crap? But no, he replied, He's like, damn,
Speaker 1: that is good. Where can I get more? And I'll
Speaker 1: bring a cigar, buddy. So, so I brought him a
Speaker 1: bottle of barrel ages this time. I'm still curious to
Speaker 1: see how well you're gonna like that, But yeah, it
Speaker 1: seems to be a.
Speaker 3: I don't think it was open yet.
Speaker 1: No, that one was for him.
Speaker 6: I gave that.
Speaker 3: I gave that to him.
Speaker 1: That's his bottle, So that's not part of the barrow yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's his private.
Speaker 3: How much I share with the group, I expect a
Speaker 3: poor Well, if.
Speaker 1: You can talk him out of a poor go for it.
Speaker 1: That's not that doesn't belong in the bar's.
Speaker 3: I've shared with this group two bottles of Eagle.
Speaker 13: Mckenneth McKellen, Sharon is Karen, and some other super allocated ones.
Speaker 1: So Larsony, Yeah, we we may or may not have
Speaker 1: completely destroyed a single.
Speaker 13: Brand later, but there was this many people drinking, so yeah,
Speaker 13: it was an overdose, but we knocked it out.
Speaker 3: It was a blast. So are you having fun so far?
Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: I've been work, you know, it's it has been. It's
Speaker 1: been cold in Texas for the last three weeks something
Speaker 1: like that. So a couple of weeks ago, we had
Speaker 1: a snowstorm yep, and we had a Texas snowstorm. So
Speaker 1: it was only like an inch or two on the ground,
Speaker 1: and it lasted a couple of days.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Uh, there was like what four or five days it
Speaker 1: didn't get above thirty yep. It was like between it
Speaker 1: was like twenty two twins.
Speaker 13: They were talking about another Arctic blast this weekend or next.
Speaker 1: Right, yeah. So and then and then like the day
Speaker 1: before I left for this trip, it was eighty two
Speaker 1: degrees typical Texas. But then like the day after I left,
Speaker 1: my wife said that there was a cold front blowing.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's kind of up and down, but the
Speaker 1: weather here has been fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 13: So Robert, me and Robert got to the airport and
Speaker 13: I grabbed my stuff and I got my hoodie out
Speaker 13: of the car and he looked at me.
Speaker 3: He goes, throw that back in the car. You're not
Speaker 3: gonna do.
Speaker 1: You're not gonna need a hoodie, like but the play
Speaker 1: He's like, you're.
Speaker 3: Not gonna need it. And that plane was hot. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: oh it was hot something. It took a while for
Speaker 3: the AC to finally kick in. But yeah, man, I've
Speaker 3: been working.
Speaker 13: I shot all video today and a bunch of video
Speaker 13: yesterday that's cut, edited and uploaded dropping tomorrow morning. Yep,
Speaker 13: seven am I think Central I don't know.
Speaker 3: I said it for seven.
Speaker 1: A said it for seven, So what Central time?
Speaker 3: Because that's probably where I'm stationed.
Speaker 2: Maybe that's gonna drop.
Speaker 13: That's a pre show walk through the Podah ext avaganza
Speaker 13: today and us hanging out yesterday and having fun.
Speaker 3: Man, But that's that. That took two hours to upload.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the starlink here is not fast. It is not
Speaker 1: our fast. I don't know if and like when I
Speaker 1: set it up last night, there was hardly anybody here
Speaker 1: in the campsite. So I don't think it's a congestion issue.
Speaker 13: Well I was thinking congestion because I was walking around
Speaker 13: and I counted at least five starlingks.
Speaker 1: Well, but last night that wasn't true. That wasn't came
Speaker 1: into that where most of those people came in today. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's yeah, it's it's yeah, I don't know starlink is.
Speaker 1: It's working, but starlink is not the savior everyone thinks
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 11: Now.
Speaker 1: I'm a starlink fan. I'm not bad mouthing starlink, but
Speaker 1: is it where you can But.
Speaker 3: It's sometimes it's great. Yeah, sometimes it's so.
Speaker 1: So I am I'm I'm streaming on AT and T
Speaker 1: right now, my five G connection on AT and T.
Speaker 1: I'm not connected to starlink with.
Speaker 13: I should have uploaded via my AT and T probably
Speaker 13: would have been faster, might have been, but I was like,
Speaker 13: it's here.
Speaker 3: Screw up, plugged the computer in.
Speaker 1: It's working. It's just not it's it's much setting up
Speaker 1: at the dear least. It's much faster than it is here,
Speaker 1: much faster.
Speaker 3: So so it could be, well, it could just be
Speaker 3: local congestion. There would be a lot of Starlink users
Speaker 3: around here.
Speaker 1: That's that's very possible.
Speaker 3: Just overtaxing that there's a.
Speaker 1: Starlink launch tomorrow morning that several people are going to see.
Speaker 3: Matt and Mike have been twisting my arm to go
Speaker 3: see that.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I want to do it.
Speaker 1: If this was speculation, as you'll be able to see
Speaker 1: it from here, but if it's clear, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: We'll regulations.
Speaker 13: They've been twisting my arm getting me to go, and
Speaker 13: I said no, because I come for the hand fans
Speaker 13: I've come from.
Speaker 3: Yeah, fans.
Speaker 13: The last thing I want to hear is someone had
Speaker 13: two hours and miss me because I was not here.
Speaker 1: Well, and apparently there was a launch like on Wednesday morning, yeah,
Speaker 1: or maybe Tuesday morning. There was two Tuesday, Okay, so
Speaker 1: next year maybe we could here two days early. Well,
Speaker 1: if we just go out to the Sterling lunch site.
Speaker 1: Just sit out there and instead of a special event station,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be like, hey, Collin c Q Starley's flaw,
Speaker 1: why not if it was today?
Speaker 3: Hands down?
Speaker 13: Oh yeah, I would have walked through that place so

Speaker 13: road I will edit that video and we'll done to

Speaker 1: and I just picked up some stuff, some broughts and whatnot.
Speaker 10: Good.
Speaker 3: Nice, good, good, okay, nice, And this is a great cigar.
Speaker 1: Kyle's cooked smash burgers for us last year and those
Speaker 1: were really good.
Speaker 3: Well Kyle taught him.
Speaker 5: I cooked him.
Speaker 1: Oh, I thought he cooked well.
Speaker 6: I think Kyle started, start, Kyle started, and you guys
Speaker 6: did that together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's fifty fifty okay, but those.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't know exactly how to do it, but I.
Speaker 13: Think the perfect size for that is quarter pound, because
Speaker 13: you want small, right, and then you smash it on
Speaker 13: the thing to about a quarter inch and then they'll
Speaker 13: kind of plump back up. Plus they still thin. They
Speaker 13: cook faster, so you can do a lot of them faster.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 13: That was fun, and you don't but y'all are freaking
Speaker 13: selling me on this Blackstone.
Speaker 3: It's great, Frank, have one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a ki y b Why Joe bretton Chat?
Speaker 1: What's up, buddy? Yep, yep, I don't know, Joe Brett.
Speaker 1: There's promenty of camp sites out there. Good. If you
Speaker 1: left right now, you might make it by tomorrow night.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 3: Robert says, I don't need a Blackstone. I cook on Kyle's,
Speaker 3: I cook on yours. I just need to show up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you show up, that's true.
Speaker 13: But man, I enjoy it though overall. Yeah, yeah, I
Speaker 13: do do talk a little bit about it. Yeah, and
Speaker 13: when we get picked on, but I enjoy cooking.
Speaker 3: It's fun.
Speaker 1: We need to get Frank's beans on the next rotation
Speaker 1: wherever that is more X.
Speaker 13: But maybe, but we don't have anywhere to wash pots,
Speaker 13: and that it creates a mess.
Speaker 3: So if we do it and more, I'll probably pre
Speaker 3: cook them, bring them.
Speaker 1: Well, that's fine.
Speaker 3: Now they probably will make a reoccurrence if.
Speaker 13: Kyle asked at Huntsville, okay, and I'll do another croc
Speaker 13: pod or pot of them.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 3: But I cook cut so.
Speaker 13: Many holopios and hobby narrows for that my hands were
Speaker 13: sensitive from the oils. I was like, dang, And I
Speaker 13: chalk the hobby narrows up with a fork and knife,
Speaker 13: so I wasn't touching that.
Speaker 1: You need to get some gloves. You get some of
Speaker 1: those night before. You've never cooked for fifty people before, no,
Speaker 1: before Huntsville last year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so any how, many of you in the chat
Speaker 1: are gonna be attending tomorrow? How many is anyone watching
Speaker 1: from the campsite? Anyone add another campsite watching right?
Speaker 13: Yeah, especially if you see me, because I do love
Speaker 13: doing the line walks. You see me doing the line
Speaker 13: walks tomorrow, shout out a tank radio. Yeah, and I
Speaker 13: probably will cut the audio and have it.
Speaker 10: Yeah, take right off.
Speaker 1: So I can't read the chat. So tell me if
Speaker 1: anybody's see.
Speaker 3: We got Robert watching the chat.
Speaker 1: If anybody, yeah, Robert's watching it. So if anybody's here
Speaker 1: at the campsite or just here in Orlando watching, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be here tomorrow, let us know in the chat.
Speaker 13: I actually there are minus this two other new products
Speaker 13: just walking around.
Speaker 3: I heard about watching this Hamphis.
Speaker 1: From people we know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay.
Speaker 1: Watching. Oh yeah, Sully's over that I met him earlier. Yeah, okay, okay, yep.
Speaker 2: You got somebody who's death valleys.
Speaker 3: Death Valley Valley. That's a I never can't dropping through there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's kind of just gone by again.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Women have a lot of helicopter fly overs. Yeah yeah,
Speaker 1: are you gonna bring those things to uh?
Speaker 3: The question is gonna bring them to More Expo. If
Speaker 3: they're gonna make parents, they'll be re hitting.
Speaker 13: So I'm not gonna be cooking them there because it's
Speaker 13: just the they pot takes like overnight to soak and
Speaker 13: there's nothing to clean there.
Speaker 1: So Freddie Mack, who I think is coming back to
Speaker 1: more this year, had a r V site with water
Speaker 1: last year. Also, what has water in his hiker we
Speaker 1: can get We can get some jerry cans and filled
Speaker 1: with water and a battery powered sprayer, which I mean
Speaker 1: wanting to get one of those anyway. So all right,
Speaker 1: so we can make it work.
Speaker 3: Someone cleans the pot.
Speaker 1: Is file volunteering to clean the pots as I see.
Speaker 1: I know you're in the chat, Kyle. I can see
Speaker 1: you chatting in there.
Speaker 3: So but the Gazelle compound will be making a return.
Speaker 2: I'll have the hot water.
Speaker 1: He's not cleaning that what Robert said. That's good, But all.
Speaker 13: Right, beams are on and where night that is, make
Speaker 13: sure you have a beeline to that bathroom.
Speaker 1: Well, Seeing the good thing about more Expo, we all
Speaker 1: have our own individual tents. We're not sleeping in the
Speaker 1: same trailers. That'd be a great time to do beans
Speaker 1: because I mean, you're not going to offend anybody afterwards,
Speaker 1: so right, no one but yourself.
Speaker 3: I was jealous of you at More though.
Speaker 13: You had the portable AC unit the tent and I'm
Speaker 13: sitting there like, I'm.
Speaker 3: Kind of cold. I had the cold winter gear this
Speaker 3: time better and.
Speaker 1: Yeah he Yeah it was a heat. I didn't use
Speaker 1: the a C Atmore, but it was a boat. Yeah
Speaker 1: that's what I'm it was the heater.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you had that heater going on. But I was
Speaker 3: just like, man, yep, yep, here, I am kind of
Speaker 3: curled up with my little nose out.
Speaker 6: Because yeah, oh diddy, we had the tas of Robert.
Speaker 13: Also there the giant tent that you brought that you
Speaker 13: could almost literally stand up and.
Speaker 1: You could stand up in that tenth Wow. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: saying that the tent he brought to more xpot he
Speaker 1: could stand up in. Robert could a seven.
Speaker 11: Huh.
Speaker 1: It's the last weekend of April, so it's one week
Speaker 1: later this year than it was last year. So it's
Speaker 1: like the twenty five and twenty six, that Friday Saturday
Speaker 1: whatever it is. So it's uh, looking looking more, We're
Speaker 1: gonna do so. Chris Holloway, the guy who runs More Expo.
Speaker 1: I've got him scheduled to come on to a Sunday
Speaker 1: live stream about a week before that show. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about it a lot between now and then. It's
Speaker 1: four months, well three months, three and a half months away,
Speaker 1: so we're gonna be talking about a lot about the
Speaker 1: more Expo between now and then. We want to get
Speaker 1: a large a larger than last year him radio community
Speaker 1: to come to that show. The first year I went,
Speaker 1: I texted Kyle, I'm like, Hey, I'm going to the
Speaker 1: show in Missouri. He's like, sure, Yeah, let's go. I
Speaker 1: can't buy myself. Kyle stayed in a hotel and then
Speaker 1: he figured out he wanted a hiker trailer and he
Speaker 1: bought a hiker trailer. After that, the next year we
Speaker 1: were camping again and it was I don't remember if
Speaker 1: you came that year or not, but it was just
Speaker 1: like two or three. It was me, Kyle and Shane, Yeah, Mee,
Speaker 1: Kyl and Shane that year, and then last year, year
Speaker 1: number three, there was like eight of us there. So
Speaker 1: we've been building the Ham Radio presence.
Speaker 3: At that show for the last community to uh.
Speaker 1: I want to keep going with that.
Speaker 3: No, it's the Gazelle Compound.
Speaker 1: Gazelle Compound. Yeah, yeah, like four or five of us
Speaker 1: had Gazelle tents last year. So it's a it's a
Speaker 1: fun shows if you like camping and you like outdoor gear,
Speaker 1: off road gear, and you know there's some radio stuff there.
Speaker 1: There's we every year we've been there. There's a PoTA
Speaker 1: park about ten fifteen minutes away. We drive out one
Speaker 1: day and do a PoTA activation and come back the
Speaker 1: spot itself. We can't the more expo where it is.
Speaker 1: It's not a PoTA spot, but there's one very close by.
Speaker 1: There's actually a couple that are very close by. I
Speaker 1: think last year we did a historical trail.
Speaker 11: We did it.
Speaker 1: It was a trail activation and that was Freddy Max's
Speaker 1: first PoTA activation that he never.
Speaker 3: I remember Kyle standing next to that on the wheel
Speaker 3: well just out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was just like yeah, oh yeah. We were
Speaker 1: up a little late that night before for sure, but yeah,
Speaker 1: So that's gonna be a fun event in this show.
Speaker 13: So, Jason, are you gonna be in content creator row? No,
Speaker 13: you're not gonna get a spot there.
Speaker 1: No, I want to camp with you, with with all
Speaker 1: you guys. I mean, that's it's it's kind of a
Speaker 1: neat thing to be over there and talk to those guys.
Speaker 1: But uh, there's a couple of really good content creators
Speaker 1: that attend that show.
Speaker 3: But this is what I I hold this to y'all
Speaker 3: several times.
Speaker 13: I was very surprised when I was walking over there,
Speaker 13: even at night, because I walked over there one time
Speaker 13: at night.
Speaker 3: How they weren't conversing with each other.
Speaker 13: So the Hambrado YouTubers were sitting around, we have our
Speaker 13: own Gazelle compound, and we're just talking up a storm
Speaker 13: and jumping on Abel's videos.
Speaker 3: But they were very isolationists from each other. This is
Speaker 3: my ear and that's your area. And I was very
Speaker 3: surprised about that. I didn't really I expect that.
Speaker 1: I've not been a part of any other community in YouTube.
Speaker 1: But I have attended a lot of YouTube conventions, VID Summit,
Speaker 1: Video Marketing World, I'm several others like this and Growth
Speaker 1: Video Live and virtual sessions online. And I think the
Speaker 1: ham Radio creator community is more tightly knit than almost
Speaker 1: any community out there. I mean, I haven't experienced every
Speaker 1: other community on YouTube. Off roading gun guys, you know,
Speaker 1: parachute guys, if that exists. I don't know, but you know,
Speaker 1: Parachute Jesus here Carlos. His new name is Parachute Jesus apparently.
Speaker 1: But the Ham Radio YouTuber community is a more closely
Speaker 1: knit community than any of those other communities that I've
Speaker 1: ever seen.
Speaker 3: The free for all ideas.
Speaker 13: We're all in each other's discord, We're jumping on each
Speaker 13: other's live streams, and it's just it's.
Speaker 11: Like we're all friends.
Speaker 5: Sudly, we're all friends.
Speaker 3: We're sitting around right now, Sharon whiskey and having.
Speaker 1: Having fun, sharing cigars, sharing cigars.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, shirt, Oh thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3: I got cigars and some old fashioned about T shirt.
Speaker 1: The T shirt, well that's the hamcom Z.
Speaker 3: Iion hamcongs, iion. Is that going on again?
Speaker 5: I believe it is.
Speaker 1: But I haven't heard from those guys this year yet,
Speaker 1: so I'm not sure.
Speaker 13: You're not the first person to say they haven't heard
Speaker 13: from them, and their page is not updated.
Speaker 1: I don't know that.
Speaker 3: That was very fun.
Speaker 1: That was a good show last year.
Speaker 3: I like my over shirt. No one likes my over shirt.
Speaker 3: My mommy got me. I saw that.
Speaker 1: I saw that at the at the pots. I saw
Speaker 1: you wearing that. I was like, that's kind of neat.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, okay, and radio duo, what's up here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, Yeah, you guys coming to Dayton coming, you
Speaker 1: just come to Huntsville. You should try dating at least.
Speaker 1: I don't remember what state you guys are in, but uh,
Speaker 1: are there in Alabama? Alaba?
Speaker 3: Alabama is a hop skip and a stone throw.
Speaker 1: Alabama's a heck of a lot closer to Orlando than
Speaker 1: Texas is. So you guys don't have an excuse.
Speaker 3: Jason made it Kennestro with the trailer you fly in
Speaker 3: an airplane.
Speaker 1: He said, maybe, yeah, they live in Huntsville.
Speaker 3: Oh that's easy. Wow, Okay, where where's our Dallas hamcom.
Speaker 1: That's a good question. I don't know.
Speaker 3: We we need to get it.
Speaker 1: Were trying to They were trying to spend something up
Speaker 1: new for twenty twenty six, but I'm.
Speaker 3: Not sure if it's gonna Yeah, I mean.
Speaker 1: Ca then Frank Frank is whiskey, John.
Speaker 2: Thank you.

Speaker 2: Alaka?

Speaker 1: Japan they go to They go somewhere that's congested, smoggy
Speaker 1: and loud. Yeah, that may make sense. Hawaiians go somewhere
Speaker 1: that like where you're miserable. You gotta go go be
Speaker 1: miserable on vacation, right if you live in Hawaii.
Speaker 3: So maybe I should load up the stream and get

Speaker 1: Somebody's asking how a p R S voice alert on
Speaker 1: the way out, So I was. I turned on voice
Speaker 1: alert and I would and I did what I said
Speaker 1: I was gonna do. I would throw my call sign
Speaker 1: out on six top five to two about once every
Speaker 1: couple of hours, every time I came into a metropolitan
Speaker 1: area uh So, Shreveport, uh Mobile, Jackson, Mississippi. When I
Speaker 1: would come into a big area, I would throw my
Speaker 1: call sign out. I never talked to anyone on six
Speaker 1: out five to two until I got into Florida, and
Speaker 1: right outside of Pensacola, I reached someone and we had
Speaker 1: like a five or ten minute conversation and that was cool.
Speaker 1: And then I caught up with a C case shortly
Speaker 1: outside of Tallahassee, and of course we talked all the
Speaker 1: way in because we we caravan dien Wednesday morning. But
Speaker 1: sadly I never reached anyone on six top five to
Speaker 1: two driving from Texas until I got to Pensacola. So
Speaker 1: all the way through Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, a southern
Speaker 1: coast of Alabama, I wasn't able to reach anyone on
Speaker 1: six out five to two. Interesting, so we need to
Speaker 1: we need where were we are working to change that?
Speaker 3: So flying out though.
Speaker 1: I didn't and I was throwing out my call sign
Speaker 1: and no one was responding yeah, nobody else.
Speaker 13: So flying out when we had our mess tastic notes
Speaker 13: on the air, as we got up to climbing over Dallas,
Speaker 13: all the notes were starting to pop in, but once
Speaker 13: we hit altitude, no notes either were too fast or
Speaker 13: that metal hall is just sucking up too much of
Speaker 13: the signal to get through.
Speaker 5: No, it's not that because there's yeah, I didn't get any.
Speaker 2: First of all, Nick says, you followed Jason on a
Speaker 2: b R.
Speaker 1: S thank you longer.
Speaker 2: From Long Island.
Speaker 1: From Island from Long Island.
Speaker 2: The Records.
Speaker 1: Has a question t J Records.
Speaker 2: Younger people getting their handle license.
Speaker 1: What's my opinion on younger people getting their hand license?
Speaker 1: My opinion is they should do it. I mean that's
Speaker 1: an open that's a pretty open question. So what what
Speaker 1: do you mean by that? So, I mean, yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that the answer is yes, Yeah, younger people should
Speaker 1: get their hand license. Absolutely.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Technology at age.
Speaker 1: Right, and there's a lot of Who was I talking? Oh,
Speaker 1: I was talking to Jay Christina, the starlink guy. Uh,
Speaker 1: he's got a Jay Christina is his channel on YouTube.
Speaker 1: I interviewed him on my channel, and then last week,
Speaker 1: a week and a half ago something like that, he
Speaker 1: interviewed me on his channel. So we've each got a
Speaker 1: corresponding video on each of our channels. And he's a
Speaker 1: chel No, he's a starlink channel.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you interviewed him on your overlinkage.
Speaker 1: No, I interview him on him Radio two point zero no,
Speaker 1: it was. It was on a Ham radio channel, so
Speaker 1: so yeah, right, yeah, So he was saying, and uh,
Speaker 1: I lost my train of thought. I forget what I
Speaker 1: was going. Oh oh, I remember. So he was talking
Speaker 1: about a system he had built out of a Raspberry
Speaker 1: Pie to do a and he had a name for it,
Speaker 1: and it was basically connecting Sterling and his T mobile
Speaker 1: system into one router and then the router would choose
Speaker 1: whatever the stronger network was, so if one went down,
Speaker 1: the other one would work. And so it was kind
Speaker 1: of like load balance. It was kind of like load balancing.
Speaker 1: And he was talking about doing this with the Raspberry
Speaker 1: Pie and blah blah, and I'm like, dude, there are
Speaker 1: so many things you can do with the Raspberry Pie
Speaker 1: and Ham radio. There's there's no shortage of things you
Speaker 1: can do with Raspberry Pie. People should be hams seriously,
Speaker 1: because there's there's just a lot of different things you
Speaker 1: can do with Python scripting and with rasbian or whatever
Speaker 1: the Raspberry pie os whatever they call it these days.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different things you can do with
Speaker 1: Raspberry Pie and Ham radio, and a lot of people
Speaker 1: don't realize that. Think so, uh, if if young people
Speaker 1: are interested in Raspberry Pie projects, then Ham Radio is
Speaker 1: definitely a place they can learn more about that.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Old people, old people in Ham radio.
Speaker 3: I think we don't think we have.
Speaker 1: I think I think we have. We have that base
Speaker 1: covered all right. If you're old, I think that not
Speaker 1: that you're not welcome, but you know.
Speaker 2: When you need courage, young people will take clubs.
Speaker 1: That's right, Yeah, young people courage clubs, right, yes, encourage
Speaker 1: clubs not to act old and senile and get get
Speaker 1: young people interested in radios.
Speaker 2: Got his licensed last year. He's seventeen.
Speaker 11: Okay, he's paying for.
Speaker 2: His buddies tests to try to get them involved.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's that's yeah.
Speaker 3: Doesn't the able r L have a reimbursement program for
Speaker 3: use for youth?
Speaker 1: I think yeah, yeah, it might be sick st it's
Speaker 1: either sixteen or eighteen to think.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, but that's uh you hey, that's that's taking
Speaker 2: the south there.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
