Speaker 1: I can't forget a p R S.
Speaker 7: Can I absolutely not?
Speaker 1: And t O is gonna t O is supposed to
Speaker 1: be here and he's gonna talk to us about the
Speaker 1: Poe to day on Thursday. So I said that when
Speaker 1: I saw Jason, I forgot Mike was here. I would
Speaker 1: have said it a lot earlier for that, remember, Michael.
Speaker 2: Paul says Hill Jordas shortly, I wasn't going to show up,
Speaker 2: but then you said we have a frankless evening, So.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, yeah, yeah, Frank free tonight. Absolutely so all right,
Speaker 1: So what so is when? What's everyone's plan for arriving?
Speaker 1: That's the that's gonna be the first and foremost.
Speaker 8: My plans got changed because Josh can't plan. So I
Speaker 8: was I'm getting in on Wednesday to Florida. I'm flying
Speaker 8: into Fort Myers and then my dad's picking me up
Speaker 8: and I was going to take steal his car and
Speaker 8: go pick up Josh at like three. But then he
Speaker 8: texted me last week He's like, yeah about that hotel.
Speaker 1: You forget to reserve me.
Speaker 5: I forgot the boocket. We weren't going to stay at
Speaker 5: the Drury.
Speaker 8: Now we're back at the Rows and in which I
Speaker 8: don't care where we stay honestly, so I'll be there Wednesday.
Speaker 8: So I'm either going to ask you, Jason, if you
Speaker 8: go to bed, I can crash on Wednesday night the trailer,
Speaker 8: or I'll just leave in the morning for my dad's
Speaker 8: house on Thursday and drive up. But then I'm going
Speaker 8: to the t O's thing, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm planning on going to that too. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I texted Bill earlier. Bill's working tonight, so he's not
Speaker 1: going to join us on the stream. I texted him
Speaker 1: earlier to find out when he's arriving, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know when he's getting there yet, but I
Speaker 1: think everyone else is getting there on Wednesday. There's t
Speaker 1: O and if Bill's not there, then you can use
Speaker 1: his bed. But again, I don't know when he's arriving.
Speaker 9: Figure, if you can crash on my couch if.
Speaker 1: You want, I'm gonna guess. Trailer. I'm gonna guess it's
Speaker 1: got more than one bed.
Speaker 9: In it, So no, it only has one bed in it,
Speaker 9: but it's got a really comfy couch.
Speaker 8: I crash on your couch, then that work, all right.
Speaker 8: He'll be there Wednesday, right, yep?
Speaker 10: Okay, we're not until Thursday afternoon, and then same thing
Speaker 10: with Ken and Jess. They're pulling in about the same
Speaker 10: time Thursday afternoon afternoon evening.
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I think I need to turn all you
Speaker 1: guys up. I think everybody's quiet tonight.
Speaker 2: I'm leaving out five a or four am. I've moved
Speaker 2: it up another hour four am Wednesday morning. I'll be
Speaker 2: getting in there hopefully by four or five o'clock on
Speaker 2: Wednesday afternoon. And Mike, if you want a queen size
Speaker 2: bad I do have the other half of the pop up,
Speaker 2: so no sheets, though, You'll have to bring your own
Speaker 2: or a sleeping bag or something.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll figure something.
Speaker 2: I can just sit there all night and go. I
Speaker 2: can sit there and haunt your dreams all night night
Speaker 2: we pass.
Speaker 1: He's probably just gonna be snorting and be like, oh
Speaker 1: my goodness.
Speaker 8: And I can't stay with with smart Jason because he'll
Speaker 8: just be beaconing APRS.
Speaker 5: Maybe I'll just drive up Thursday morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she it's always something. But yeah, so I think
Speaker 1: most of us are getting there on Wednesday, and we're
Speaker 1: gonna try to camp in the same spot we were
Speaker 1: in last year. Of course, that depends on it is
Speaker 1: first come, first serve. You don't reserve a camping site.
Speaker 1: And when I had Michael on the live stream a
Speaker 1: couple weeks ago, he said that their goal was to
Speaker 1: try to open it up. Last year. They were advertising
Speaker 1: that it didn't open until noon, but we got there
Speaker 1: like ten or ten thirty in the morning and it
Speaker 1: was it was open. So Michael said, this year, he's like,
Speaker 1: we want to we want to get Our goal is
Speaker 1: to open it by nine am, which I think is
Speaker 1: what they did last year. So we should have plenty
Speaker 1: of plenty of time to get there and get set
Speaker 1: up and whatnot. So but that's that's where that's what
Speaker 1: I'm planning on doing.
Speaker 7: So probably probably the biggest day for a rival is Thursday,
Speaker 7: not Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Yes, agreed, Yeah, most people could probably be their Thursday.
Speaker 1: But but yeah, we'll see, we'll see what happens with that.
Speaker 1: What's up, Steve.
Speaker 11: Not a whole lot time got away from me. I'm
Speaker 11: in a different time zone.
Speaker 1: You're always in a different time zone.
Speaker 12: I always am.
Speaker 11: I'm I'm in Phoenix time, which is like a very
Speaker 11: special time zone.
Speaker 1: In the US, the time zone that doesn't move.
Speaker 12: Right except for one little, teeny tiny part.
Speaker 2: Talking about camping, I had Michael on my stream on
Speaker 2: Thursday night. It is important for everybody to remember, uh,
Speaker 2: you have to be in the campground by seven o'clock
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. They shut the gates.
Speaker 1: So I don't remember that from last year, but.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's what he told me. So, yeah, that's the
Speaker 2: reason you in. I mean, you can drive a personal
Speaker 2: vehicle out, but they can't. They won't check into camping.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so you can. You can come and go,
Speaker 1: you just can't check in with an RB right, gotcha, gotcha?
Speaker 2: Got you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that makes sense, that makes sense.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's the reason I moved up in an extra
Speaker 2: hour because I need to make sure i'm there before seven.
Speaker 2: What happened?
Speaker 3: It wait a bit later?
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I checked you guys in. Y'all were just
Speaker 1: in a vehicle though, So yeah, okay, yeah, you guys
Speaker 1: and y'all probably be later than that this year too.
Speaker 3: Well, we're supposed to land at six, so should be
Speaker 3: a little earlier.
Speaker 1: Actually, okay, okay, For some reason, I was thinking Frank
Speaker 1: tol Me y'all landed at eight. But yeah, six, okay, good, good,
Speaker 1: that'll work out then, Uh okay, so meshtastic Okay, well
Speaker 1: let's talk about we'll do messhtastic last. Because it's not
Speaker 1: really Ham radio, right, it's not Ham radio.
Speaker 12: It's in the hand bands.
Speaker 1: It counts in the hand vans. T Why don't you
Speaker 1: tell us about the Poda thing, because that's gonna be
Speaker 1: the first thing that actually happens.
Speaker 11: Yeah, So, like I said, all the cool kids are
Speaker 11: getting there Wednesday. That way we can be available for
Speaker 11: the pot on Thursday, which starts around eight am or
Speaker 11: so at Wakiva Springs State Park, obviously in Florida.
Speaker 12: And there's a.
Speaker 11: New thing this year where you have to get your
Speaker 11: park pass online before you show up at the gate.
Speaker 11: Apparently they're not for sale at the gate. It's like
Speaker 11: six dollars. It's four dollars if you show up in
Speaker 11: your own car by yourself. How lonely is that.
Speaker 5: We're all Hams.
Speaker 11: We have friends maximum six eight people are six people
Speaker 11: in the car for six dollars, So for two dollars more,
Speaker 11: bring a friend in and you'll be able to get
Speaker 11: in on the PoTA action. We're gonna have coffee and
Speaker 11: donuts and stuff in the morning. We're gonna have door prizes.
Speaker 11: There will be a couple of walk up radio stations.
Speaker 11: So if you want to get in and get a
Speaker 11: Poda and you want to have one of us show
Speaker 11: you how to Poda, or you want to show us
Speaker 11: how Poda's done then, by all means we have a
Speaker 11: radio setup for you to use. If you want to
Speaker 11: bring your own radio, go for it. I don't have
Speaker 11: enough room in my carry on. And we'll have some lunch.
Speaker 11: I think we did pizza last year. We'll probably do
Speaker 11: pizza again. Stay as long as you want, leave whenever
Speaker 11: you want. Totally, totally open and welcoming to every body.
Speaker 1: Good. Is that the same park y'all were at last year?
Speaker 12: Exact same park.
Speaker 11: This one's got more pavilions and more parking than Lake Luisa,
Speaker 11: So it's Wakiva Springs.
Speaker 1: Whoever that is. Please mute the stream? Is that you, Paul?
Speaker 5: I mean me, my son talking in the background, live stream, Paul,
Speaker 5: Come on.
Speaker 1: Paul, Paul's never live stream before. You'll give him a break.
Speaker 5: So yeah, okay, this up as we go.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the yeah, the place last year. I didn't
Speaker 1: remember the name, but yeah, the parking situation was just fine.
Speaker 1: And uh and the a lot of tables under the
Speaker 1: pavilion too, So that worked out well. I thought, good, Okay.
Speaker 11: Somebody's playing the national anthem. You might get a copy
Speaker 11: right strike on that.
Speaker 1: Chase Well, Wylle the first time that is Okay, coffee
Speaker 1: right for them. Somebody's at Justin Justin Crook in the
Speaker 1: chat just put half time him radio Tuo no greater
Speaker 1: than bad Bunny. I'm like, okay, cool, we're good with that.
Speaker 12: Not hard.
Speaker 2: No.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I said, some game plan and I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is, all right. I think APRS is next.
Speaker 1: Let's do. Let's talk about APRS because we did the
Speaker 1: day out thing last year. And I say we because
Speaker 1: I participated, but I didn't set it up. And they're
Speaker 1: doing that. Is that the exact same thing they're doing
Speaker 1: again or is it changing a little bit or how's
Speaker 1: that working?
Speaker 7: Yeah, exact same thing that's sponsored by the Daytona Beach
Speaker 7: Amateur Radio Association. And if you go to tiny CC
Speaker 7: forward slash day Out, all of the details are right there.
Speaker 12: Okay, and what is it?
Speaker 9: Can you give us like a thirty second elevator speech?
Speaker 7: Yeah? So APRS was the brainchild of Brunanga and it
Speaker 7: was just a way to get people off of the
Speaker 7: primary frequency during an event or a disaster. So it
Speaker 7: kind of focuses just on who's at the event.
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, so it's a pr S for everyone. There's
Speaker 1: that's there at himcasion, so we don't interfere with ambient
Speaker 1: stations around the area. Okay, different frequency, different APRS path.
Speaker 7: Okay, we we even let Mike on this frequency.
Speaker 1: Oh well, I don't know if that's good or bad,
Speaker 1: but okay, it's good to know it's good information.
Speaker 8: Last year, yeah, I'm not. I'm not dealing with that
Speaker 8: crap this year.
Speaker 12: It's okay.
Speaker 5: Well, I gotta do net control for the Wile system.
Speaker 1: We can do that on five to two mm hmm. Sheheesh.
Speaker 1: Net control for the Wile system.
Speaker 12: Okay.
Speaker 1: I actually heard them when I was on POTOASTI I'm like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, yes exactly, yeah, exactly. So okay, time
Speaker 1: I'll put that in the chat because that is a
Speaker 1: forward to another website, tiny dot c c forward slash
Speaker 1: day out.
Speaker 8: Yes, Jody says there's a secret c TCSS tone.
Speaker 5: You guys aren't telling me.
Speaker 7: We can't give you all of the secrets.
Speaker 12: There's no secrets, Mike. Everybody knows.
Speaker 5: It's not one.
Speaker 9: Mm hmm.
Speaker 1: Could be goodness. Okay, all right, uh so okay, so
Speaker 1: that was We're okay, you guys aren't talking much, but
Speaker 1: that that's okay. So Poda day out, Kyle, let's talk
Speaker 1: about food, because I'm going to go to the store
Speaker 1: tomorrow before I leave. Actually, I might hit a cost
Speaker 1: code like on the way. If I can find one,
Speaker 1: I gotta look and see. But I want to you.
Speaker 4: Gotta tell you, gotta tell me what you're gonna buy,
Speaker 4: because so I don't buy both.
Speaker 1: Right, So I was just gonna buy breakfast stuff, bacon, eggs, tortillas,
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Were you planning on getting that?
Speaker 13: No, I was gonna do like lunches, and then also
Speaker 13: on Friday and Saturday, I'm gonna cook Chipotle chicken and
Speaker 13: uh taco meat for tacos on Friday, and then on Saturday,
Speaker 13: I was gonna get probably thirty five burgers and a
Speaker 13: bunch of francs and cook for like, I don't know,
Speaker 13: thirty or thirty five on Saturday. So okay, it won't
Speaker 13: you know, if you guys want to give me a donation,
Speaker 13: that's great, you know, five or seven dollars. It's not
Speaker 13: going to go towards the ARL. I'm just trying to
Speaker 13: cover my costs on getting everybody fed.
Speaker 2: So okay, God help us. So he said there's gonna
Speaker 2: be a lot of francs.
Speaker 1: I bypassed that one kind of let.
Speaker 14: That can we bring condiments or plates or yep?
Speaker 13: So well, I've got I've got plates and I've got
Speaker 13: silver aware. If you guys want to bring like, uh,
Speaker 13: ketchup and mustard and relished, that would be great. If
Speaker 13: you want to bring some sides like potato salad or
Speaker 13: something else to go along with it, that would be
Speaker 13: great too.
Speaker 2: Cool.
Speaker 5: I don't know which way you're coming.
Speaker 1: Are you coming?
Speaker 7: Are you driving in?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 13: I'm yeah, I'm in Daytona Beach right now, so I
Speaker 13: will I'm going to come and hit the Costco on
Speaker 13: Wednesday morning and then probably go over to another supermarket
Speaker 13: and get everything that you can't get a Costco and
Speaker 13: then head over probably around noon or so.
Speaker 2: Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 1: I keep condiments in my fridge truck Mayo, regular mustard,
Speaker 1: spicy mustard and spicy waterburger ketchup.
Speaker 9: And I have all that right now.
Speaker 1: So I've got I've got all that that I keep
Speaker 1: with me pretty much wherever I go.
Speaker 13: If you guys want to get like stuff for like,
Speaker 13: I've got some sour cream and some taco sauce and
Speaker 13: pecante sauce. But if you guys want to get like stuff,
Speaker 13: like you know, a little bit more sour cream, maybe
Speaker 13: some guacamole, I can kiso. Yeah, if you want to
Speaker 13: do kso, we can do keso. So I will have
Speaker 13: the I'll do the marinated chicken and get a bunch
Speaker 13: of corn tortillas and have street street tacos. I'll probably
Speaker 13: have I don't know, sixty or seventy street tacos for
Speaker 13: everyone to have, I don't know, maybe three tacos.
Speaker 4: Four tacos apiece.
Speaker 13: And then we'll cook that on Friday, and then on
Speaker 13: Saturday we'll have burgers and hot dogs, and I'll get
Speaker 13: the buns and all of the meat.
Speaker 4: And we have the meats, and then.
Speaker 13: What I'll do is I'll just get maybe what I'll
Speaker 13: do is I'll get like some rotisserie chickens from Costco,
Speaker 13: and maybe we can do some some Patti melts for
Speaker 13: lunch and some other things. So I think we'll have
Speaker 13: enough food for lunch and maybe some a dinner. And
Speaker 13: then Jason, if you brite breath breakfast food, I think
Speaker 13: we'll be good.
Speaker 1: I am going to cook breakfast on Thursday, Saturday and
Speaker 1: Sunday I Am not going to cook Friday because Friday's
Speaker 1: the opening of the show. I'm gonna be inside recording
Speaker 1: videos and whatnot. Yeah, so Friday's Friday's kind of like
Speaker 1: we're going to the show. Of course, I'm going to
Speaker 1: show Saturday too. Last year I went to the show
Speaker 1: on Saturday for a couple hours. I came back and cooked,
Speaker 1: and we did that last year. So I'm planning on
Speaker 1: doing that to breakfast on those three days.
Speaker 2: We'll also have.
Speaker 1: We go ahead your water.
Speaker 10: We'll also have a cooler full of ice if you
Speaker 10: want to add ice to your evening drink whatever.
Speaker 14: And no probably thrust some bagels or different danishes or
Speaker 14: donuts on the table in the morning, the early morning coffee.
Speaker 9: And I've got too many fridges, the ice coat, a fridge,
Speaker 9: and a freezer.
Speaker 13: So good, okay, But you know, the things that we
Speaker 13: have had trouble in the past. You know, I didn't
Speaker 13: make uh hunts or I'm sorry hamcashon last year. But
Speaker 13: the things that we have had trouble in the past
Speaker 13: is keeping coolers full of ice and keeping water and
Speaker 13: beer because we've had to go out multiple times for
Speaker 13: different beer runs and for ice ice runs. So we
Speaker 13: can figure out a system on people bring ice and
Speaker 13: we can manipulate coolers to to put beer and water in.
Speaker 4: That would be awesome cool.
Speaker 15: We've got ahead, Kyle, I said, I brought a cooler too,
Speaker 15: and I'm going to fill it full of ice and
Speaker 15: I'm going to have that pull of water.
Speaker 13: I'm gonna get probably two cases of iar of water
Speaker 13: at Costco. So if you guys think that two cases
Speaker 13: of water will be good, I think we'll have plenty.
Speaker 10: We're also bringing a five gallon like upright water cooler thing,
Speaker 10: so keep the carrying full to have cold water access,
Speaker 10: and we'll have five gallons right there at our our
Speaker 10: front porch.
Speaker 5: Okay, cool, very good, you'll have four and a half.
Speaker 10: And I'm trying to get Zephyr Hills, so it's.
Speaker 3: Give me good water.
Speaker 1: We've got to the camp around renting has a freezer
Speaker 1: fridge combo, so we can put a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: in there. And I've got the full time fridge in
Speaker 1: the truck too. I was gonna try it. I was
Speaker 1: thinking about trying to bring my extra ice coat, but
Speaker 1: I think I probably won't just because it's just something
Speaker 1: else to carry and there won't be anything in that
Speaker 1: refrigerator in the v I'm renting. It'll be completely empty,
Speaker 1: so we can stalk it full of whatever we want.
Speaker 9: My ice co will be empty. Plus one of the
Speaker 9: too mini fridges will be empty. The other one right
Speaker 9: now has water in it. Okay, so yeah, and we
Speaker 9: have hot and cold water off the back of the
Speaker 9: trailer by my outdoor kitchen.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 9: So if we want to set up like a cleaning
Speaker 9: station or whatever, we can set that up. I heard
Speaker 9: your camperful fancy there, Dave.
Speaker 1: Yeah, cleaning station. So we're going fishing at some point,
Speaker 1: I tell you, let's do yeah, yeah, Or we can
Speaker 1: just shoot dove coming over. If if anyone has a
Speaker 1: twelve gage, we can do that that way too.
Speaker 5: Let's probably get one from my dad. Another combination.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh boy, Okay, that all sounds great, Kyle. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll pitch in some money to you. Yeah, don't get
Speaker 1: any breakfast stuff. I'm gonna get again bacon and eggs
Speaker 1: of course, Frank. I got Frank's beans with me. We'll
Speaker 1: probably do that at lunch one day, or we'll probably
Speaker 1: do that at dinner one day. I would guess I
Speaker 1: want I wanted to cook steaks on Thursday, and I
Speaker 1: might want I might throw some steaks on the Blackstone
Speaker 1: on Thursday. I'm going to buy some steaks, but I'm
Speaker 1: not going to buy thirty five steaks. So yeah, if
Speaker 1: you guys want to bring a steak, I'd be happy
Speaker 1: to cook it. I will bring some for a few people,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to buy all the steaks that
Speaker 1: Costco has in stock that day.
Speaker 9: And this has a griddle grill combo, so if you
Speaker 9: actually want to use gas grill.
Speaker 1: I like the Blackstone, Buddy. I just I kind of
Speaker 1: fell in love that thing when when Kyle was cooking
Speaker 1: with it at camp one day and I went and
Speaker 1: bought my own. I just I absolutely, it's all in
Speaker 1: my head. I realized it's probably all in my head.
Speaker 1: Probably maybe it's not. But if you cook bacon on
Speaker 1: a Blackstone, it just tastes better. I don't know why. Yes,
Speaker 1: I have no idea why, but it's just it's way
Speaker 1: better if you cook it into the black.
Speaker 9: Eggs after the bacon on the Blackstone.
Speaker 1: Well, yes, yeah, of course, breakfast in general is just yeah.
Speaker 2: So it's a next it's next level on the b
Speaker 2: it is it really cakes?
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it really is, so I yeah, So
Speaker 1: the Blackstone's going in the truck and we're going to
Speaker 1: bring that out.
Speaker 4: And are you going to bring a twenty pound propane?
Speaker 1: I have eight? Uh yes, I have a brand new
Speaker 1: twenty pound propane. Then I have the the extra ten
Speaker 1: pound that I keep attached to my truck, okay, which
Speaker 1: is the same size that one you have on the hiker.
Speaker 10: Yeah, and I'll have two online camper also, and I've
Speaker 10: got sixty pounds on mine.
Speaker 9: So thank we.
Speaker 1: Got there's probably there's got to be propane on the
Speaker 1: front of that camper I'm renting. And I doubt we're
Speaker 1: gonna run well, I don't know. I wouldn't think we're
Speaker 1: going to run heaters. You're probably not gonna.
Speaker 2: Be that mos that I've seen. Most that I've seen
Speaker 2: in the forecast have been mid fifties, so probably not.
Speaker 1: Probably not. Then I'm going to run a heater.
Speaker 2: Well, you have different blood ju.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right.
Speaker 3: That evening whiskey keeps you warm.
Speaker 1: That yeah, and I've got my I grabbed I went
Speaker 1: to the hunting lease yesterday and grabbed my Devo slights
Speaker 1: and extra ch Oh. We need to talk about chairs,
Speaker 1: and I grabbed my my fire my propane fire ring.
Speaker 1: So I've got a propane fire ring. So I mean,
Speaker 1: if it's in the fifties sixties at night, we'll fire
Speaker 1: up the fire ring. I mean, why not, you know,
Speaker 1: So it's always good to do at campsite. But yes,
Speaker 1: if you're driving in, I like we say every year,
Speaker 1: if you're driving in, bring a chair, bring an extra chair,
Speaker 1: bring yourself a chair, and bring an extra chair because
Speaker 1: there's some people who are flying in that can't bring
Speaker 1: chairs and they'll probably be people hanging out with this
Speaker 1: all week also, so we want to make sure we
Speaker 1: have plenty of chairs. I've got three. Yeah, I've got three,
Speaker 1: and Frank brought me to yesterday and Rob brought me
Speaker 1: his chair, so he's good. But so I've got I've
Speaker 1: got like three extras with two my two extras and
Speaker 1: Frank's extra. So I mean, with.
Speaker 13: Everyone camping, we're gonna have a crapload of people.
Speaker 1: There, you know. And I somebody in the chat when
Speaker 1: the when the live stream started, asked if we had
Speaker 1: any more any more room, And the answer is probably not,
Speaker 1: because I've got eight people that have said I want
Speaker 1: to be in our little circle. So I there's a
Speaker 1: couple of them I'm that are up in the air.
Speaker 1: I'm not one hundred percent sure about. But we're gonna
Speaker 1: have to figure out when we get there. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have to figure out how best to configure the circle
Speaker 1: because it's going to be larger than it was last year.
Speaker 13: Yeah, we're gonna have to We're gonna have to figure
Speaker 13: out parking and where everyone's gonna go because I think
Speaker 13: we've already run out of room.
Speaker 1: Well, the parking probably won't be a problem because if
Speaker 1: you remember and I get turned around on direction, but
Speaker 1: if you remember where we were last year and the
Speaker 1: part between us in the row, there was no one
Speaker 1: over there. There's no hookups or anything over there. There's
Speaker 1: plenty of field over there, so we can all park
Speaker 1: like within like a literally a twenty second walk to
Speaker 1: your vehicle and it's all right there. I don't think
Speaker 1: parking vehicles is going to be an issue, but we're gonna, well, yes, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So we're gonna try to want to try to arrange
Speaker 1: those in like a you know, circle the wagons configuration.
Speaker 1: I would guess, uh, But we got to make sure
Speaker 1: everybody's got proper hookups too, So.
Speaker 7: Yeah, Jason, we might want to grab two pots.
Speaker 1: That's what That's what Robert and I were talking about yesterday.
Speaker 1: We were in Pod two last year. Is that the number?
Speaker 1: I think?
Speaker 9: So?
Speaker 1: I think that.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So when the ones we ought to snag.
Speaker 1: Either two and three or one and two. We didn't
Speaker 1: choose three last year because there's power lines running right
Speaker 1: over it, which, okay, I don't know how much HF
Speaker 1: operating we're going to be doing from the camp site
Speaker 1: this year is probably not a big deal. But but
Speaker 1: there's power lines in the kind of in the far
Speaker 1: back of the of the area there, so we might want.
Speaker 4: To make deca decahedron or whatever. That thing is a
Speaker 4: twenty sided die.
Speaker 1: Right right, yeah, yeah, so yeah, we might want to
Speaker 1: circle in between two pods, like pods one and two
Speaker 1: or two and three, whichever it is.
Speaker 9: So three we're gonna have to both have thirty and fifty.
Speaker 9: Uh seven and eight.
Speaker 1: Two has fifty because we used it.
Speaker 9: Jerry, you have fifty, which is the first two when
Speaker 9: you come into the left. Yeah, then it goes four
Speaker 9: or five and those are only thirties, which I don't know.
Speaker 9: I'm the only one that really needs fifty, right.
Speaker 1: The camper I read it last year? Uh would Well,
Speaker 1: it had two air conditioners. In order to use both
Speaker 1: of them, you had to have fifty. But I don't
Speaker 1: think we used that because we didn't have a we
Speaker 1: didn't have cable.
Speaker 3: We weren't tight on power. We were tight on plugs.
Speaker 5: I guess is correctly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah, but I don't.
Speaker 7: We ran I think we ran that r V of
Speaker 7: yours own thirty amps last year.
Speaker 1: We did, we did, ok, yeah, because he was trying
Speaker 1: to plug it up to fifty. But I've got a
Speaker 1: new it's a different RV this year, and I think
Speaker 1: it's a little bit shorter, although I don't, I don't know.
Speaker 1: It might be it might be the same thing. I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't look to see what what the emplane was.
Speaker 7: Can you look up to thirty if you need to?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I can do thirty with a single air condition yeah, both.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, And you probably won't need much of an
Speaker 1: air conditioner if it's in the fifties at night, Just
Speaker 1: open windows, you know. So yeah, so okay, all right,
Speaker 1: Well we'll figure it out. I mean, it's it's gonna
Speaker 1: be a. It's gonna be fun to see how how
Speaker 1: we circle everything.
Speaker 9: This thing is not easy to get maneuver. I found
Speaker 9: that out today coming into this park. They have very
Speaker 9: short terms and small roads.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of those RV parks do man State.
Speaker 12: Parks, orangeist. I'm here to tell you. I told you so.
Speaker 10: View Calah Campground.
Speaker 9: Gotta pull through, Yes, yeah, I specifically get pulled through
Speaker 9: this good.
Speaker 10: Now, good, don't blame it a bit.
Speaker 1: Good? Okay, Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm gonna. I
Speaker 1: looked at o'cala today because I was talking to Dave
Speaker 1: on All Star this morning. By the way, if you're
Speaker 1: driving in, connect to all Star with this for three one,
Speaker 1: three six. I'll be there sometime tomorrow, probably in the morning,
Speaker 1: but but when I hit the road for sure in
Speaker 1: the afternoon and pretty much all day on Tuesday. Uh
Speaker 1: So connect to all Star, talk to us on all Star,
Speaker 1: and absolutely monitor one Simplex if you're driving in and
Speaker 1: try to get some simplex activity going, not just not
Speaker 1: just when you're don't turn it on when you get
Speaker 1: thirty minutes away from the show. Turn it on when
Speaker 1: you leave your qth and keep it on the whole time.
Speaker 1: And try to make some contacts. Let's try to get it.
Speaker 1: Don't ever turn it off again, right, yeah, yeah, never
Speaker 1: never turned it off again, Jason.
Speaker 14: Last year, when you guys were on your way in,
Speaker 14: we got phone calls from some of our club members.
Speaker 14: You guys hit them up on I seventy five on
Speaker 14: the way through Kala. They were so excited.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, that would have been me and me
Speaker 1: and Jason because we were we had met up somewhere
Speaker 1: around at the north end of Florida and we're driving
Speaker 1: seventy five down south. So yeah, well both me.
Speaker 7: And you were just yacking going five too, and I

Speaker 14: and our phone were ringing off the I got a job.
Speaker 10: That now, I mean five two's cool, But we actually
Speaker 10: have a one four six nine seven zero. It's over
Speaker 10: one thousand feet no tone, So if you're in Marion
Speaker 10: County or in between the two counties in between them,
Speaker 10: it's easy to get into.
Speaker 14: That one over one thousand foot good, what was Freya've
Speaker 14: we've hit it all the way into Orlando at day
Speaker 14: Disney Springs.
Speaker 1: What nine?
Speaker 14: What is the what's what's the frequency?

Speaker 2: I'm surprised they're not telling you that the maritime mobile
Speaker 2: MAT's gonna start on five to two or something.
Speaker 7: There you go, Hey, Vaughn, what was it?
Speaker 10: Frequency one four six nine seven zero? It's the Anthony repeater. Uh,
Speaker 10: it's a thousand feet. It's on the Ka Country Tower.
Speaker 1: How far north does it go? And we lost them
Speaker 1: so we didn't.
Speaker 10: Just north of Gainesville.
Speaker 1: North of Gainesville? Okay, okay, yeah, y'all blipped for a second.
Speaker 1: You're back now you blipped? So okay, good? Nick gains Will, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I probably gonna My original plan was to stay somewhere
Speaker 1: around Tallahassee on Tuesday night. I might try to make
Speaker 1: it a little bit closer to Okala. I don't know
Speaker 1: where you guys are going, but I know that Uh
Speaker 1: I think Dave and uh Josh and Tim. I think
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna be in the O'calla area that night,
Speaker 1: So I might try to track down to y'all. It
Speaker 1: depends on what time depends on how far I get
Speaker 1: tomorrow and how early I leave on Tuesday. Well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna poda.
Speaker 10: We're gonna poda and then we're gonna go get some dinner.
Speaker 10: So okay, probably.

Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'll just pack mine. Don't worry about it.
Speaker 1: I worry about it. I'll just pack mine.
Speaker 17: But uh yeah, looking forward to seeing everybody totally again.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, okay, all right, Well let's talk about Meshtastic because
Speaker 1: this was the uh kind of the elephant in the room,
Speaker 1: but not really. So, yeah, he left. I didn't call
Speaker 1: him anything. He left. I would leave too if you
Speaker 1: called me so yeah. So I I suspect we're going
Speaker 1: to be running like three versions of Meshtastic when we
Speaker 1: get there. We're gonna some of us are going to
Speaker 1: be on mesh Tastic proper, some of us are going
Speaker 1: to be on mesh Tastic, and some of us are
Speaker 1: going to be on mesh Core. And I plan to
Speaker 1: have a little bit of eat of everything. So we'll see.
Speaker 1: Has anyone loaded the him Cassian firmware.
Speaker 11: Yet we're gonna do it livestream tomorrow night.
Speaker 8: Everybody, can my mesh tastic assistant Dave do it for me.
Speaker 7: I loaded it up and it looks like we're running
Speaker 7: medium fast.
Speaker 9: Short turbo, no short turbo, short turbo.
Speaker 3: This this this is this is a very important point
Speaker 3: that Jason is running into. I think that Dave is Yeah,
Speaker 3: Dave's back, Dave, that you had mentioned and I had
Speaker 3: seen this as well. Right, this is something folks need
Speaker 3: to be aware of.
Speaker 9: Yeah, so let me do.
Speaker 10: There is.
Speaker 9: Sorry, I had to restart, move my antenna and restart
Speaker 9: my start link.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fine, so share, Oh hold on, let me
Speaker 1: turn on sharing for you. All right, go ahead? Did
Speaker 1: you turn this back over here?
Speaker 9: The screen share?
Speaker 1: And yeah, that's amcation dot mestastic dot org. That's the
Speaker 1: link I've just shared the chat. That's what he's showing
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 9: All right? So am I still in?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're good. All right.
Speaker 9: So when you go to pick a device, obviously go
Speaker 9: to ham cation dot mestastic dot org. When you pick
Speaker 9: your device, you can try and auto detect see if
Speaker 9: it'll find the V four. But that's one thing I've
Speaker 9: noticed is with this flasher. Sometimes it doesn't pick up
Speaker 9: what device, but you can go where's the hell tech
Speaker 9: v for? Oh, there it is. It found it.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, good.
Speaker 9: Pick the firmware and when you go to flash, make
Speaker 9: sure to do a full erase and install. Right, it'll
Speaker 9: do that. Yeah, If you don't, it's going to take
Speaker 9: some of what year old firmware was and some of
Speaker 9: what your new firmware is and the jumble it up
Speaker 9: the worst of both worlds. Yeah, and so it's just
Speaker 9: not going to talk to anybody at that point. But
Speaker 9: make sure to do a full erase and install. If
Speaker 9: it's an NRF device, you're going to have to do
Speaker 9: the NRF erase. I don't know if you guys want
Speaker 9: me to show you that real quick.
Speaker 1: Soil inter F is a chip set. It's a type
Speaker 1: of chip. There's basically two chips. There's an ESP thirty
Speaker 1: two and there's an NRF which is a newer version
Speaker 1: which is more battery efficient. So if you have a choice,
Speaker 1: I would choose the NF chip, but the other one's
Speaker 1: just fine too. There's nothing wrong with right.
Speaker 3: One's more feature rich than the other.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, what's in the T one? Thousand.
Speaker 6: Yeah. Yeah, I updated the.
Speaker 16: T one thousand last night and the Woe Tracker and
Speaker 16: didn't have any problems.
Speaker 6: Good and didn't erase anything.
Speaker 12: Good.
Speaker 7: Well seven didn't do the full of race first.
Speaker 3: I didn't, but but Jason didn't think he had any
Speaker 3: problems either. He just got settings that aren't correct.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it still shows the right firmware because I went
Speaker 7: back and compared to what's on the page, but it
Speaker 7: showed up as medium fast. In fact, it's still working
Speaker 7: on the stuff that we run locally here.
Speaker 9: Yeah, and that's that's the issue, is it. The splash
Speaker 9: screen will come up, it looks like it's the the
Speaker 9: correct firmware, but it's not.
Speaker 6: So it's all your fault, Dave fault. That's all your fault.
Speaker 1: Okay, this one has a I have a whiz block.
Speaker 9: So this time it picked up. It's just fine. Say
Speaker 9: the seed card tracker, yep. So you go through the
Speaker 9: regular steps, enter it into the few mode and oh
Speaker 9: right here where it says flash, the ad says erased
Speaker 9: flash of the seed card Tracker.
Speaker 1: Mh.
Speaker 9: You click this and it has some steps. First off,
Speaker 9: you have to enter d f you mode, which it did,
Speaker 9: and you download this UF two, which is an erase
Speaker 9: u F two. What it does is that's how you
Speaker 9: erase the firmware on that device. So you'll have your
Speaker 9: window here and you take and see that it says
Speaker 9: n r F erase and you drag it into that
Speaker 9: folder and then it'll go through and the folder disappears.
Speaker 9: That The other step is you have to open the
Speaker 9: serial monitor and see formatting done. Rebooting device in DFE mode.
Speaker 9: Now you can actually download the correct DF you right
Speaker 9: here or the u F two.
Speaker 1: Is this for all the chips sets? Is this how
Speaker 1: it is the last one?
Speaker 9: The first one I did was an ESP thirty two device,
Speaker 9: but the ones that have the window that pop up
Speaker 9: the NRF devices, you have to follow these steps in
Speaker 9: order to for it to work. Which one this is,
Speaker 9: and then it'll go through and now it'll have the
Speaker 9: full firmware. Yeah, I don't know if all of that
Speaker 9: popped up on the screen or not. Well, it looks
Speaker 9: like I got something to do, right and we So
Speaker 9: there's there's going to be two at least two stations
Speaker 9: at Hamcshion to help you through this. My booth, we
Speaker 9: will be flashing devices for people and then there's another
Speaker 9: booth who's a friend of mine, called maker Nova. He's
Speaker 9: going to have a station set up to help people
Speaker 9: flash their devices as well. He'll be selling non seed
Speaker 9: studio devices and cases and accessories or some of the
Speaker 9: seed studio stuff.

Speaker 9: If you go on Amazon, it just says generic nine
Speaker 9: mets Okay, but it's the It wasn't prepared to show
Speaker 9: off my chest stuff. I apologize.
Speaker 1: It's not like that's what you do every day.

Speaker 1: got on my Uh, I've got a dual band version
Speaker 1: on my kin with D seventy five. This guy here, Uh,

Speaker 1: I thought that Signal Stick was making him, or at
Speaker 1: least he was talking about it. And also you're gonna

Speaker 1: going to be making one too.
Speaker 3: So smiley Antenna's makes one.

Speaker 10: see anything yet.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was just talking about it at one point
Speaker 1: and he never actually did it. But okay, that's possible.
Speaker 1: Seems like that would be an easy thing for him
Speaker 1: to do because they're usually shorter antennas. So uh, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stop your sharing, Dave. There we go, and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and flash this one while I'm

Speaker 2: Jason, has there been any talk about simples and are
Speaker 2: we like from comms within the fair grounds?

Speaker 1: we're gonna use what we the same thing we use
Speaker 1: in the past, which is one forty six to four
Speaker 1: five I believe, so yeah, yeah, so again as we
Speaker 1: could use that too, but the only time we need
Speaker 1: to use that is u ham mention. In my opinion,
Speaker 1: we could.
Speaker 17: Do like what we did in hantspille Jaason to do

Speaker 1: Could do that too.
Speaker 2: Yeah.

Speaker 1: uh six top five two as we're driving in and
Speaker 1: then when you get there, monitor six top five to
Speaker 1: two if you want to still, but six top four
Speaker 1: to five is where most of us will be. I'm

Speaker 1: He's like, he's like, uh, he said something about you've
Speaker 1: been offline. I'm like, no, I haven't been offline, but
Speaker 1: my uh my internet spotty because I'm on Verizon and
Speaker 1: he's like, put a put all, put Starlink in there.
Speaker 1: I was like, Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do, Starlink truck.
Speaker 2: That is something I am actually looking forward to trying
Speaker 2: for the first time because I've gotten my my star
Speaker 2: many out there and it's ready to go. I promised
Speaker 2: my viewers I wouldn't set it up until I get before.
Speaker 1: It's it's great for download.
Speaker 7: Upload sucks. We struggle.
Speaker 1: Do you notice anything as far as the upload goes?
Speaker 1: What does that affect besides live streaming?
Speaker 10: See, our internet just went out when you said, do
Speaker 10: you notice anything in a way.
Speaker 1: So you're on starlink now, okay, so I was on starlink.
Speaker 1: Well okay, so you're on zoom but using like normal applications,
Speaker 1: Like do you have any trouble with it there? Like
Speaker 1: I can watch YouTube TV or YouTube on my starlink
Speaker 1: all day long with no problem and they froze. But yeah,
Speaker 1: they froze again.
Speaker 6: No, you're fine, Dave.
Speaker 9: Oh okay, it's not you, it's them.
Speaker 5: Well I know, I think it is advertisement for starlink.
Speaker 9: We we're talking about starlink and mineus. So that's the
Speaker 9: first time I've used it out of state, I guess,
Speaker 9: oh yeah, on the Ron package and I'm getting like
Speaker 9: eighteen megabits down. It'll it'll pop up to like fifty
Speaker 9: sixty eighty and then drop down and then the up
Speaker 9: is fifteen twenty.
Speaker 3: So I wish I could get fifteen twenty.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you're getting fifteen twenty up, you should
Speaker 1: be able to live stream, no problem. Yeah, But it's
Speaker 1: it's it's the fluctuation is what is what affects it.
Speaker 1: Because when I put the star link at the Galveston
Speaker 1: House last weekend, I was getting like thirty up and
Speaker 1: like one hundred and fifty down and it was it
Speaker 1: was fine, but I don't know live streaming. It blipped
Speaker 1: a few times, so I think it was just it's
Speaker 1: not very consistent.
Speaker 9: Well, it keeps catching the satellites as they come across,
Speaker 9: right right, Yeah, that's one thing I noticed. But at
Speaker 9: the last RV park is about every forty five minutes
Speaker 9: to an hour, I would get a blip, right, And
Speaker 9: so I started watching and there's one satell light that's
Speaker 9: starting to decay and it's got his buddy right behind
Speaker 9: him ready to turn on. But as soon as this
Speaker 9: one decays and goes away. Then this one becomes active,
Speaker 9: So this one's starting to die.
Speaker 2: So the handoff isn't fluid.
Speaker 1: Yes, but do you have your all Star node running
Speaker 1: on starlink?
Speaker 9: Yes?
Speaker 1: And have you noticed any issues with that?
Speaker 9: I nobody can connect to me. I can.
Speaker 1: Yes, the double matted thing isn't understood. I understand that.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering how reliable it is with you connecting out.
Speaker 9: I've never well, so I get a new public IP
Speaker 9: address about every twenty four hours, and so it will
Speaker 9: drop off of my connection to you about every twenty
Speaker 9: four hours and I'll have to reconnect it. But on
Speaker 9: that no issues at all.
Speaker 1: No, it's okay, Okay, that's because once I put mine
Speaker 1: in the truck, I want to connect my my mobile
Speaker 1: all Star node to it, and and then my tablet
Speaker 1: of course, which runs my uh my navigation software.
Speaker 10: But I'm not sure if you has noticed. But it
Speaker 10: was January first when it went from fifty gigs for
Speaker 10: fifty bucks. Now it's a hundred gigs.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's correct, yep, yep, yeah, doubled in, doubled in capacity,
Speaker 1: but the price stayed the same.
Speaker 2: Well, on the pros, the price on the Many itself
Speaker 2: is great right now, two hundred bucks down.
Speaker 1: The last time they dropped the price on one of
Speaker 1: their dishes, that was right before they released a new one.
Speaker 1: So there's we're probably about to see a Mini two
Speaker 1: or something like that of the Universion two. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: guess that's total total.
Speaker 10: Guess No, the same size is just gonna be faster.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would guess that's what I would guess.
Speaker 10: Well, the new version three, I think is what five
Speaker 10: hundred down now, well, so hopefully.
Speaker 9: Catch up to that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I ain't fast up though.
Speaker 1: The version three is what I have, but the Galveston
Speaker 1: house and I'm getting like one hundred and fifty to
Speaker 1: two hundred down and about thirty to thirty five up.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got four people that are at it.
Speaker 1: It's very dependent on location, though, very dependent on location.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
Speaker 9: Obviously in where am I at, wherever I'm at in Louisiana.
Speaker 2: It sucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It sounds like they don't have really good coverage out.
Speaker 10: There and all you need is one tree branch to
Speaker 10: really yeah the day up.
Speaker 14: Yeah, it actually doesn't work bad at the beach.
Speaker 1: When we go to the beach, it doesn't work bad
Speaker 1: at the beach, yeah yet clear. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Not too many trees, No, no, not too many trees.
Speaker 4: Occasional.
Speaker 7: Palm fron right right, palm, yeah, occasional.
Speaker 1: All right, guys, let's uh, let's call this and uh
Speaker 1: uh shut it down. And I look forward to seeing
