Speaker 1: this how often do you do this? And it was
Speaker 1: like it's like every Thursday night for like an hour
Speaker 1: or two for like thirteen weeks. And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: can we condense that?
Speaker 3: Can we?
Speaker 1: Cause I need a new general class. The general class
Speaker 1: on my channel, the question pool, expired about two years ago,
Speaker 1: and the club I was working with here they don't

Speaker 1: one recorded last week at Gigaparts and I got to
Speaker 1: work on the editing for that, and we're gonna put
Speaker 1: it up soon. They're also doing drone classes now, doing

Speaker 1: switched around. You never know with Frank if he's going
Speaker 1: to actually, you know, show up on time or be
Speaker 1: here or what's up?
Speaker 2: Dude? How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm usually here. I let you know what. I'm not
Speaker 4: here last week. I'm sorry. I got a killer of
Speaker 4: my graine.
Speaker 2: Oh no, it's all right.
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not even able to fake it,
Speaker 4: so I just laid on the couch.
Speaker 2: That's all right. Freddie Mack did a bang up job.
Speaker 1: We did some We did some all star work that
Speaker 1: worked on the the first time we did it, no way,
Speaker 1: it was amazing.
Speaker 4: I don't believe that.
Speaker 1: It was totally new concept to me. So it actually
Speaker 1: worked the first time we tried it. So it was
Speaker 1: not in Nuggets episode.
Speaker 2: Let's see about that.
Speaker 1: Let me move myself over a little bit there, Sebastian,
Speaker 1: how are you tonight, sir?
Speaker 3: How are you? I I'm great, happy to be here
Speaker 3: with you guys, even if Frank can be unreliable sometimes,
Speaker 3: so I appreciate. I appreciate the effort. Frank.
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is why Sebastian fits in very well with
Speaker 1: this at at the campsite of the Hamfest.
Speaker 2: So h yeah, good dude can.
Speaker 4: Talk smack because he's already been on my channel.
Speaker 1: Right yeah, yeah, totally started out. Yes, Okay, so before
Speaker 1: we get started, this is a good question, right, I
Speaker 1: really like this question right here. So what are you
Speaker 1: guys doing for field Day? Field Day's next weekend too,
Speaker 1: that's next Saturday Sunday.
Speaker 4: So you want me to take that, No, let's smash.
Speaker 2: You go first, and then and then you get.
Speaker 3: Okay, now, the things that I don't have good things
Speaker 3: to say, it's like the the effort here in Sullivan County,
Speaker 3: New York, where I live, we actually fell through. So
Speaker 3: we're not gonna be able to do it. Uh, but
Speaker 3: I'm thinking I might be doing a a robe. I'll
Speaker 3: go visit a bunch of people around here that are
Speaker 3: doing field Day that I have. I have lots of friends,
Speaker 3: like a couple of hours around and might even combine
Speaker 3: that with stopping at at parks on my way and
Speaker 3: activate a few parks. I tried to get the the
Speaker 3: I need to get the ten park rove. I think
Speaker 3: it's the rhino. I have the five to fifteen and
Speaker 3: the twenty five rove awards, but I need to get
Speaker 3: the ten and the twenty park.
Speaker 4: Is that all in one day?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: All day?
Speaker 4: Dare you to do that in Texas? Come down here
Speaker 4: in England.
Speaker 1: You got a picture, you can drive, You can drive
Speaker 1: around Long Island and do ten parks in a day.
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of parks out there. So
Speaker 1: in an hour, yeah, yep, yeah, yeah, and then well
Speaker 1: maybe not an hour, but yeah, quickly. So I did
Speaker 1: a Poto rove of several years back, maybe ten years ago.
Speaker 1: Now it's been a while since I've done that, but
Speaker 1: I did a pro PoTA rove in Texas and I
Speaker 1: drove to the I looked at the scoreboard from the
Speaker 1: year prior and I found the highest scoring club for
Speaker 1: North Texas, South Texas, and I don't remember if I
Speaker 1: went far out as well. There's three section three able
Speaker 1: ORL sections in Texas, North, South, and West, and I
Speaker 1: don't remember how far west I went, but I know
Speaker 1: I went to three or four clubs and they were
Speaker 1: all some of the leading clubs for the year prior.
Speaker 1: So I just went and interviewed them, looked at their setups,
Speaker 1: kind of talked to people about what to do.
Speaker 2: That was fun. I enjoyed that.
Speaker 1: I didn't get to participate myself that year, but it
Speaker 1: was fun talking to everybody else and seeing their setups.
Speaker 1: So what if you, I know, you and Robert got
Speaker 1: something going on, Frank, what do you guys.
Speaker 4: See Robert and Paul, Paul and Paul.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're going.
Speaker 4: To head to Cooper Lake State Park. We got ourselves
Speaker 4: a cabin that has ac and a nice restroom with
Speaker 4: a shower and okay, that was my acquirements for a cabin.
Speaker 4: I was like, I'm not just staying in cabin if
Speaker 4: I have to go and walk to the bathroom. So
Speaker 4: we found that awesome one Oprah Cooper Lake State Park.
Speaker 4: We're going to be running a three station as of now,
Speaker 4: and we're going to run like eighty eighty forty twenty ten.
Speaker 2: And six meters.
Speaker 4: Okay, of course we're going to get that satellite contact also, of.
Speaker 2: Course you will.
Speaker 4: Robert's there, Hey, Hey, hey, I got a satellite station too,
Speaker 4: did y Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, all right, I brought it. You see it?
Speaker 1: Well, I tried calling. This was two or three months ago,
Speaker 1: before I realized I was going to be out of town.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you guys what I'm doing here in a second.
Speaker 1: But I called that that last state part of the
Speaker 1: Dangerfield and try to get that same cabin we had
Speaker 1: and she was like, no, it's rented that weekend. Would
Speaker 1: you like the next weekend? And I'm like no, She's like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's open the next weekend. I'm like, I need it
Speaker 1: for an event on this weekend. If it's not open,
Speaker 1: it's not open. But yeah, she's trying to talk to
Speaker 1: me in the next week. I was like, no, thanks,
Speaker 1: but yeah, good, well, I'm glad you guys found a spot.
Speaker 1: Perhaps I can work you because I will be in
Speaker 1: a park that weekend. I forget which one it is.
Speaker 1: My wife and I are going to Colorado for our
Speaker 1: annual vacation. We're doing a road trip. We're gonna leave
Speaker 1: here on Friday and stay somewhere outside of Denver Friday night,
Speaker 1: but then Saturday and Sunday night. Her cousin. Yeah, her
Speaker 1: cousin has a cabin in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. I think
Speaker 1: that's like in the south west corner of Colorado. We're
Speaker 1: gonna stay there for a couple of nights, but our
Speaker 1: purpose in doing this is we're gonna tour for about it.
Speaker 1: We'll be gone for about eight days. We're gonna tour
Speaker 1: the entire state of Colorado and hit all four of
Speaker 1: the national parks that are in Colorado. I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: some hiking and some of them. I'm gonna activate all
Speaker 1: of them. She's probably gonna activate all of them too.
Speaker 1: I think that's what I said. We'll be in Peghosa
Speaker 1: Spring Saturday and Sunday. I think that's what I said,
Speaker 1: so will be I might have said it wrong. Will be, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday will be in the same spot. I
Speaker 1: think we're gonna change places we stay every night except
Speaker 1: for those two nights. We'll be in the cabin for
Speaker 1: those two nights, and then every other night we'll be
Speaker 1: in a different spot. So during field day I will
Speaker 1: be able to operate from maybe from a park, maybe
Speaker 1: from the cabin. I don't know, but I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: operate as myself. So I will look for you guys
Speaker 1: on the bands, Frank, and hopefully we can. Colorado to
Speaker 1: Texas is challenging, but it's not. I mean, it's it's.
Speaker 4: Pretty I've gotten Colorado.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we can.
Speaker 1: Get Colorado pretty regularly. It was fun, it was fine.
Speaker 1: The band has been so kind of up and down lately.
Speaker 1: When I was in Dalveston last time I had, I
Speaker 1: worked a station in Midland, a station in Olpaso, and
Speaker 1: some other guy in like I think I worked a
Speaker 1: station in the Dallas Fort Worth area, but he was
Speaker 1: down in the noise.
Speaker 2: He was really hard to hear.
Speaker 1: But it's unusual to work Texas that that short of
Speaker 1: arrange on twenty meters, but I did it, so we'll see.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the bands has been characteristically weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they've been kind of weird. So yeah, thank you
Speaker 1: for the super chat.
Speaker 2: Izzo.
Speaker 1: Appreciate you being here, brother, And uh, you need to
Speaker 1: put Ham Bencheon on your calendar, buddy. All right, So
Speaker 1: tonight we're going to talk about pol Polo is the
Speaker 1: subject tonight, and it is a ham radio logging app.
Speaker 1: It's one of the easiest to use most updated apps
Speaker 1: that's out there, in my opinion, the kind of the
Speaker 1: thing that and I'll admit this right now just upfront,
Speaker 1: so everybody's on board. I have Polo installed but I've
Speaker 1: never actually used it blasphem me. I know, I know,
Speaker 1: it's terrible.
Speaker 4: What change screens with me?
Speaker 1: I actually generally speaking, when I'm longing, I do. I
Speaker 1: do take my laptop a lot, yes, but I usually
Speaker 1: when I'm logging, I'm usually on Android.
Speaker 2: Uh not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm probably sixty percent Android and forty percent Windows
Speaker 1: something like that. So but you but but Polo only
Speaker 1: works on Android iOS right right now?
Speaker 2: Yes, right now?
Speaker 3: Yes, you can run it on Mac laptops that the
Speaker 3: new Max can run iPad apps, right, but we're working
Speaker 3: on a on a desktop version that will run on
Speaker 3: any Mac laptop, Windows and Linux. Okay, that's coming up
Speaker 3: in a in a couple of months.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, uh prep, And Paul says, burn the witch.
Speaker 1: They're talking about me not using Polo, and then n
Speaker 1: a Yo says boo this man.
Speaker 4: So right, I feel like I got to take over there.
Speaker 2: It's so good.
Speaker 1: So there's a lot of really good apps out there
Speaker 1: right now, I like and want to use all of them.
Speaker 1: And Sebastian and I were talking at Hamvinchin. I'm like, well,
Speaker 1: we need to get you to come on to the
Speaker 1: show and just talk about Polo. So I can learn
Speaker 1: more about it myself. But yeah, and I think deal.
Speaker 3: I think we're in at a great time for HAM software,
Speaker 3: a resurgence of ham software. There's a lot of of
Speaker 3: people trying to come up with new innovations. I think
Speaker 3: that that we we've kind of been stuck with N
Speaker 3: one MM and UH and three UH and three JP
Speaker 3: of the of the software world, which they've done a
Speaker 3: great job, that's what they've lasted so long. But it's
Speaker 3: kind of like they they never jumped into the the
Speaker 3: mobile bandwagon like right do mobile apps and UH and
Speaker 3: even on their desktop offerings, they all feel like, I
Speaker 3: don't know, a a a certain most HAMP software feels
Speaker 3: like it was built maybe not in but for the
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety seven crowd, right, it's a certain vintage, yes, correct, Yeah,
Speaker 3: there's maybe maybe ninety nine. It's like post Windows ninety eight,
Speaker 3: Windows MT four. That's kind of like where the the
Speaker 3: style came about, Like you know, when when my when
Speaker 3: my space was a thing to the geocds and MySpace. Yes,
Speaker 3: it's predominant in a lot of app and websites, but
Speaker 3: but in the last few years, I don't know, with
Speaker 3: with Hammers, with the World Radio League and other efforts
Speaker 3: and and of course Pollo up the I don't know,
Speaker 3: it's been interesting seeing new apps coming out and offering
Speaker 3: new ideas and new styles of doing things.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, you know.
Speaker 1: And something we hear often as YouTubers is just like, oh,
Speaker 1: Ham radio is dying, it's going away, it's gonna you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna nobody's using it anymore, you know, blah blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And I'm like, you know what, there's
Speaker 1: some really good innovation, innovation and forward thinking projects in
Speaker 1: the software world for amateur radio. And if if if
Speaker 1: Ham radio was really dying, which it's not, it's it's
Speaker 1: just not the statistics prove otherwise. So everybody who says that,
Speaker 1: I was like, now you're just being a blowhard, and
Speaker 1: that's okay.
Speaker 3: And the hardware too, companies are coming with new radios
Speaker 3: and new ways of doing things too, Yep, yep.
Speaker 1: But yeah, there's there's still lots of innovation in hardware
Speaker 1: and software and applications and stuff that does new stuff
Speaker 1: and all kinds of uh innovation still going on. So
Speaker 1: seeing more options become available outside of the m LEE,
Speaker 1: m M and N three F JP is is great
Speaker 1: in my opinion. So yeah, so gonna looking forward to
Speaker 1: seeing what you've got tonight to Sebastian, because I know
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who use Polo that just say
Speaker 1: they started using polo and they're like, yeah, that's all
Speaker 1: all I use anymore. And I don't know, we'll see
Speaker 1: if I get swept up in it when I use
Speaker 1: the f In fact, I'm gonna I'm gonna make it
Speaker 1: a point when we go on our vacation next week
Speaker 1: I will use Polo in at least one part and
Speaker 1: kind of see how I like it.
Speaker 2: So do that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's the best thing. A lot of people
Speaker 3: don't don't want to log on their phones, and that
Speaker 3: the main thing I want to there people is to
Speaker 3: give data shot. I think that logging on your phone
Speaker 3: is more than than possible. Is Actually I actually prefer
Speaker 3: it nowadays, unless it's is like a serious contest effort. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I prefer to log on my phone than to log
Speaker 3: on a on a laptop or even a tablet. I
Speaker 3: don't know. It's it's less things around me. It makes
Speaker 3: the whole thing more convenient.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And I could say the thumb typing on a small
Speaker 3: key it's fine. The speed at which you have to
Speaker 3: type a call sign, it's still very slow. It's the
Speaker 3: speed at which you're repeating the call sign. If you
Speaker 3: can say kilo India to Delta, that's kilo India to Delta.
Speaker 3: That's as fast as you need to type. You don't
Speaker 3: need to type much faster than that. And then not
Speaker 3: having to carry more gear with you, and not having
Speaker 3: to put more stuff around you in the table where
Speaker 3: you're operating or in your lap, it makes a big
Speaker 3: difference to me. I mean, I've I've learned, I've gotten
Speaker 3: used to log into my phone, and the main thing
Speaker 3: I would want to invite people is to give that
Speaker 3: a shot. Go do an operation and log it all
Speaker 3: on your phone, or log it with a tablet and
Speaker 3: a small external keyboard. Tablet keyboards I do hate. I
Speaker 3: don't like typing on a tablet keyboard.
Speaker 1: I've got a big I've got that big ten inch
Speaker 1: our Finder tablet. It's an Android tablet, and I will
Speaker 1: log on that sometimes, but ever since I mounted it
Speaker 1: in my truck, I don't. I won't take it to like,
Speaker 1: I don't take it out of the truck. I just
Speaker 1: leave it in the truck all the time. And someday
Speaker 1: if i'm activating from the truck, which I have a
Speaker 1: Kimwood ts fo ad in the truck, I'll use that sometimes.
Speaker 1: But if I'm getting out of the truck sitting at
Speaker 1: a picnic table, which is generally what I do, I
Speaker 1: like to have the laptop there because of the bigger keyboard.
Speaker 1: But I'm with you on the whole lugging too much
Speaker 1: stuff around. So there's a lot of the times where
Speaker 1: I was driving back from Alabama and I wanted to
Speaker 1: activate a park in Mississippi because I don't have that
Speaker 1: state yet, and I didn't find one on my route.
Speaker 1: I found that there was one that was like a
Speaker 1: forty five minute diversion off the route, which would have
Speaker 1: been forty five minutes to.
Speaker 2: Get back on the route.
Speaker 1: So I stopped at the park in Tennessee again, and
Speaker 1: I just sat there on my phone and logged thirteen
Speaker 1: fourteen contacts from the truck.
Speaker 2: I didn't even get out of the truck.
Speaker 1: So yeah, logging on the phone is perfectly doable. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's certainly good to if you ever find yourself where
Speaker 1: you're like, well, I wouldn't really stopping and you stopped
Speaker 1: by a park. Sometimes I'll be driving along and I'll
Speaker 1: see that's a cool name, like the Lewis and Clark
Speaker 1: Expedition historical site. I'm like, that's got to be a
Speaker 1: pot to spot. But if you ever pass anything, I
Speaker 1: passed a battleship monument one time when I was going somewhere.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is a total and I looked it up
Speaker 1: as like there it is podas So I just sat
Speaker 1: in the parking lot with my phone and logged it
Speaker 1: and it was it was easy. So it's it's always
Speaker 1: good to have that available to you, even if you
Speaker 1: don't like to use it on a on a regular basis.
Speaker 2: But yeah, good deal.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean, I want to invite people to
Speaker 3: try their phones. But we're working on getting Paula on
Speaker 3: all kinds of devices because it is nice to have
Speaker 3: a bigger screen and a bigger keyword too. Yes, it's correct,
Speaker 3: I want it. It's better to have more choices than
Speaker 3: to be forced to do things a single way.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm yeah, yeah, good deal.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I totally agree, totally agree, And I like a
Speaker 1: lot of these a lot of these apps coming out now.
Speaker 1: Are are multi platform, so the work on Android, iOS,
Speaker 1: mac Os, Windows, even Linux, you know, some kind of
Speaker 1: Debian install of Linux. So that's that's a good thing
Speaker 1: as well. So cool man, we'll show us what you got.
Speaker 1: I know you got to share screen for us, so
Speaker 1: let me.
Speaker 3: Share it the screen and give you a quick look
Speaker 3: of what Houla looks like. I'm going to be running
Speaker 3: like a development mode on my computer here, and so
Speaker 3: it's a bit slower to start. And what you're looking
Speaker 3: at is the upcoming July release that has a couple
Speaker 3: of We normally do monthly releases, and I gave up
Speaker 3: on version numbers and I just called them after the
Speaker 3: month of the release. Okay, okay, because people tend to
Speaker 3: interpret too much. And when you moved the major number
Speaker 3: the middle number, what does that mean? Did you change enough?
Speaker 3: You know what it's going to be the month, and
Speaker 3: that's it. We're updating it all the time. We never stop.
Speaker 3: So when you first started, if you were installing the
Speaker 3: first time, and it will ask you for your call sign,
Speaker 3: whether you like to do poda, soda and whatnot, and
Speaker 3: you kind of land on this screen and all you
Speaker 3: need to do is start a new operation. You say
Speaker 3: you want to do it PODA, and it gives you
Speaker 3: all the nearby parks to where you're located, if the
Speaker 3: park you happen to be. This is kind of based
Speaker 3: on the what's known as the yellow dot on the
Speaker 3: PoTA website, which right what they determine is to be
Speaker 3: the kind of like the center of the park or
Speaker 3: the most interesting place. If this doesn't match what you want,
Speaker 3: you can always enter here like like Lewis and Clark
Speaker 3: Memorial State Historic SciTE, or if you want to enter
Speaker 3: the number, you could if you knew the number by
Speaker 3: hand by heart, could enter that and basically activate that
Speaker 3: park that you can get your device location if if
Speaker 3: it doesn't have to happen to match the park, et cetera,
Speaker 3: et cetera. You pick the park and you go into
Speaker 3: CUSS and you can start logging. You can get frank
Speaker 3: yeah yeah, and you notice that little smiley face if
Speaker 3: I tap. We have a list of who is who
Speaker 3: and who isn't in amateur radio. We kind of have
Speaker 3: a list of all the YouTubers, all of the social
Speaker 3: media people, people involved in software development, people involved in
Speaker 3: the PODA programs, the SODA program, the world Wildlife Fund,
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. You can even if you're bored,
Speaker 3: you can click on Tank Radio's YouTube channel and it'll
Speaker 3: open here a on a web browser and you can
Speaker 3: start watching him if the activation gets slow. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I basically I lugged him. I can, I can. I
Speaker 3: don't know. November Kilo two Yankee, my dear friend Jasper,
Speaker 3: who I go roving with the twenty four park road.
Speaker 3: I did it with him. It gets his data from
Speaker 3: cure Z if you've entered your cure Z account settings.
Speaker 3: It'll get his state from cure set if you did that,
Speaker 3: so I don't even have to enter any of that.
Speaker 3: The space key will switch between fields quickly and you
Speaker 3: just log him.
Speaker 1: I just typed in my own call sign and then
Speaker 1: clicked on it and brought up my YouTube channel.
Speaker 3: You got you the channel.
Speaker 1: I didn't know it did that.
Speaker 2: That's fun.
Speaker 4: What is your what's your icon?
Speaker 2: I don't see an icon?
Speaker 3: Oh you have a TV probably I think that the
Speaker 3: standard YouTuber.
Speaker 2: No mind minds of mind's a pig face.
Speaker 3: Oh you know what, because you asked for it. You
Speaker 3: ask for it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were talking about that.
Speaker 1: It's at him mention yeah, last years sam mention I.
Speaker 2: Have was it?
Speaker 1: Was it?
Speaker 2: Okay?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have the pig face on my h I
Speaker 1: picked the face on my profile for Metastic.
Speaker 3: And maybe on ham Cash.
Speaker 2: Maybe it was ham Casion, Yeah, maybe maybe it was. Yeah.
Speaker 3: You can. You can look at the spots and try
Speaker 3: to find somebody to work, and if you do, you
Speaker 3: just stap here and it'll get here and their park
Speaker 3: reference will be already typed and you can just save
Speaker 3: them mm hmm. If not, say you're you're working uh
Speaker 3: canto x, you can enter the park number here. And
Speaker 3: this is this is something that only Polo did back
Speaker 3: when it's one of the first app the first app
Speaker 3: to do it, which is you don't have to type
Speaker 3: the freaking us dash.
Speaker 2: All you need to do is really okay.
Speaker 3: And it'll it'll do it for you.
Speaker 2: That's pretty okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: If you were to be in Canada and he identified
Speaker 3: afkn x to slash ve, you notice this already changed
Speaker 3: to c A yes, or if this would have been
Speaker 3: a Canadian call sign, it will be c A. So
Speaker 3: you type one two, three four and it will be Canada.
Speaker 3: And if and if they're A two fur you just
Speaker 3: press space or a coma and enter the other number
Speaker 3: and they get them both. And when you lock them,
Speaker 3: you see the two trees here that tell you that
Speaker 3: this is a two fer.
Speaker 2: I like that.
Speaker 3: Paulo does not require you to enter them twice or
Speaker 3: something like that. Polo keeps track of the the the
Speaker 3: park references, and we'll export the right data to the
Speaker 3: to the PODA as the program requires. As photo requires,
Speaker 3: you can do. Let's see if we find somebody in
Speaker 3: the spots. Sometimes they have somebody working. Yeah, this is
Speaker 3: a good example. If Polo finds two people working in
Speaker 3: the same frequency from the same park, it assumes that
Speaker 3: they're working together. So you tap here and it comes here,
Speaker 3: and it's a coma, a common list of calls. When
Speaker 3: you save, you get two of them on the log. Okay,
Speaker 3: and if you're working this is like the the a
Speaker 3: very common scenario which is like you're doing, You get
Speaker 3: Jason and Jason tells you, but please stand by. We
Speaker 3: have a second operator. Right, I came here, I entered
Speaker 3: your park reference, and I already ready to save, and
Speaker 3: you say please stand by for a second operator. I say, sure,
Speaker 3: go ahead. Can you tell me you're working with kilo India,
Speaker 3: Kilo one, kilo quilo. I just put a coma and
Speaker 3: submit and I get both of you.
Speaker 1: O would so you don't have to hit some MIT twice.
Speaker 1: You just put on the same field and.
Speaker 3: You don't have to enter the park reference for the
Speaker 3: second one.
Speaker 2: Oh right, yeah, yeah, because you've already entered it once.
Speaker 3: Okay, even if you did this and they came back,
Speaker 3: we please stand by for a third operator. You can
Speaker 3: tap on this one to edit, and you edit it
Speaker 3: and you enter kilo two, kilo quilok and it basically
Speaker 3: duplicates the settings nice or whatever park you've entered. It
Speaker 3: does things. For example, let's say Quilo five AFL. Let's
Speaker 3: let's say that that you are running your calling CQ
Speaker 3: and Kilo five AFR comes and calls you because they're
Speaker 3: tired of running their frequency. POLO realizes that they from
Speaker 3: the spots that there are at this park, so you
Speaker 3: don't even have to wait for them to give you
Speaker 3: the park number because they've recently spotted themselves as being
Speaker 3: at this park. So POLO gets the park reference already
Speaker 3: into your into the field.
Speaker 1: If you if you but you clicked the P two
Speaker 1: P button first, right, I just.
Speaker 3: Clicked to open it. It was visible here already, so okay, okay,
Speaker 3: So I'll pick another one, just to give you an example.
Speaker 3: Victor Alpha three Echo whiskey, Victor. Okay, Victor alpha three
Speaker 3: echo whisky.
Speaker 2: You're not in there, Victor.
Speaker 3: Alpha three, echo whiskey, Victor. Was it? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I think so?
Speaker 3: Or Victor Alpha three Eco whiskey, Victor. I think they
Speaker 3: might have been there for too long.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it could be yeah, fifteen minutes.
Speaker 3: It only does it if you if they've spotted themselves
Speaker 3: ten minutes ago or less.
Speaker 2: Ten minutes or less.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's good, okay, alphte nine Charlie's okay, alph wipe
Speaker 3: everything here. Alpha tell nine Charlie. It'll get you see
Speaker 3: the slash P two P. That means that you've had
Speaker 3: the park to park reference already here there is. You
Speaker 3: don't have to enter it. It just happens. And then
Speaker 3: the other thing is, say that you're done hunting part
Speaker 3: two parks and you want to start running and calling
Speaker 3: c Q. You find yourself a nice frequent see. Let's
Speaker 3: say you're going to talk on seven two hundred. Just
Speaker 3: you could click on the little radio here and enter
Speaker 3: the frequency here and that'll work. Or you can just
Speaker 3: enter it here and press enter and that gets it
Speaker 3: here and.
Speaker 1: It knows you want to war typing numbers, and it
Speaker 1: knows you're talking about a frequency in there.
Speaker 3: So you want to work am instead of a sideland
Speaker 3: you can enter it here. Say you want to work,
Speaker 3: you want to move to seventy two to one, you
Speaker 3: can enter. You can enter it at seven two hundred.
Speaker 3: You can enter it this way. Polo figures out exactly
Speaker 3: what you mean, because that's something that that always bothered
Speaker 3: me at other logging apps. Or I went to enter
Speaker 3: it without the period or with the period, and one
Speaker 3: app once is one way, the other one said the
Speaker 3: other way, and all they do is wrong frequency. Now
Speaker 3: you can figure out which one it is. There's really
Speaker 3: little overlap in those numbers in ham radio.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest pain I ever have is that
Speaker 1: the photo website itself doesn't like periods. Yes, if you're
Speaker 1: on fourteen one four to two seven, oh, there's no
Speaker 1: period in there, And I'm like ah, And I got
Speaker 1: spotted one time on like one forty four megahertz two
Speaker 1: meters and I'm like, no, the period's alone.
Speaker 2: So that's not without I like that.
Speaker 3: And or for example, if I entered two seven to
Speaker 3: oh one, but I could also enter point two oh three, okay,
Speaker 3: and that will move me to seven point two oh.
Speaker 2: Three because you are already on seven right. Okay.
Speaker 3: Now, if I work to seven oh fifty, it will
Speaker 3: change my mode. Oh seven fifty is actually FT four.
Speaker 3: Let's go seven oh thirty. It'll change my mode to
Speaker 3: CW automatically. If I went to seven back to seven
Speaker 3: two hundred, it will change me to sideband automatically because
Speaker 3: it knows the band plan. You don't have to keep
Speaker 3: that updated.
Speaker 2: Nice And then.
Speaker 3: Once you're here, you can come to self spotting. Click
Speaker 3: this button and you're spotted on the PoTA site. Or
Speaker 3: you can even enter two r V here and hit enter.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna do it because then I'll be spotted.
Speaker 3: Get mad when you spot yourself at a at a
Speaker 3: random part, I type q r V and I self
Speaker 3: spot with the message q r V. If I type
Speaker 3: q s Y, you'll self spot with the message to
Speaker 3: s y, and q r T will sell spot with
Speaker 3: the message qr T.
Speaker 1: Now if you type q s Y and self spot,
Speaker 1: do you do that after you've changed the frequency in
Speaker 1: the app or what is Okay, you change and you
Speaker 1: type s y gotcha.
Speaker 2: That makes sense.
Speaker 3: That's kind of like the flow We are working right
Speaker 3: now on cat control so that you will not have
Speaker 3: to type your frequency. The Apple will get it from
Speaker 3: the radio mm hmm. That's that's also coming soon in
Speaker 3: the next month or two hopefully, and you will like
Speaker 3: again if you if you were to hit here on
Speaker 3: the spot, it will switch the frequency and mode for you.
Speaker 3: You'll do all that controlling your radio, VA, Bluetooth or cereal,
Speaker 3: and that will make it even nicer to you, like
Speaker 3: do the self spotting. You're not You're not. You're not
Speaker 3: gonna have to be entering frequencies on the app. One
Speaker 3: of the new features is that you can also spot
Speaker 3: someone else that you've worked.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you just work to park.
Speaker 3: See if you work a part to park and they're
Speaker 3: not spot or you just want to refresh the spot,
Speaker 3: you can spot them here. It's the same control, but
Speaker 3: when when you select someone else that's not you, you'll
Speaker 3: let you spot them instead of the self spot. If
Speaker 3: I DI select this a self spot. Another first for
Speaker 3: Polo was that you could do this and do summits
Speaker 3: on the air at the same time. So now I
Speaker 3: have parts of the air and summits on the air.
Speaker 3: And if I were to spot myself, Oh, I don't
Speaker 3: have my my Soda account set up here, but you
Speaker 3: will get a little mountain here mm hmm, and the
Speaker 3: Apple spot you on both services at the same time.
Speaker 4: Nice.
Speaker 3: If you add World Wildlife, Flora and Fauna, it will
Speaker 3: do the same. You can spot yourself into the park
Speaker 3: into each one of those services at the same time.
Speaker 3: And then when you're done with your operations, just come
Speaker 3: here into the Manager operation logs and it will offer
Speaker 3: you to export the ADI fiul needed for Quota submission,
Speaker 3: the EIGHTI foul needed for Soda submission, and then a
Speaker 3: full adif that has all the data in case you
Speaker 3: want to upload that to your cure z or your
Speaker 3: your desktop law or whatever you want.
Speaker 1: Does it auto upload those to the PoTA and Soda
Speaker 1: website or is it just putting it in a format not.
Speaker 3: Yet, because none of those services let you do uh
Speaker 3: direct uploads.
Speaker 2: Right, That's what I thought. Yeah, okay, okay, I've been I've.
Speaker 3: Been working with the Poda developers. They just have a
Speaker 3: lot of other things they have to go through first
Speaker 3: before they can enable uh direct uploads. I've been looking
Speaker 3: at maybe hacking my way around it, but I want
Speaker 3: to with all the things. I mean, the main thing
Speaker 3: with follow is that I have way too many ideas
Speaker 3: and not a of time. Yeah, the rental photo will
Speaker 3: probably calm after we'd finished the cat control the desktop
Speaker 3: software and also cloud sinking, which is the other big
Speaker 3: feature that's in the works, so that when you're working,
Speaker 3: all of this will be uplated to the cloud and
Speaker 3: will sink between your devices and you will open the
Speaker 3: desk of version and get the same qusos and so on,
Speaker 3: and that is that you have.
Speaker 2: That is a nice feature to have.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have the map. Like old yes and blogging apps,
Speaker 3: you need to have a map. You can even get
Speaker 3: like a nice globe view if you want to say
Speaker 3: it that way.
Speaker 1: Okay, here's the question for you. How does it handle
Speaker 1: d X stations because those because a lot of the Hammers.
Speaker 1: I think maybe Hammers pro handles this better. I don't
Speaker 1: know about the original Hammers. If you entered like a
Speaker 1: Victor Echo or an x ray echo call sign went
Speaker 1: on PODA, it didn't it didn't know where.
Speaker 3: That was yeah, it'll know that it's Mexico just from
Speaker 3: a call sign. Okay, this one doesn't seem to be
Speaker 3: a real call, so I don't know. Uh I let
Speaker 3: let me try to get a Uh.
Speaker 2: Will it put it on the map?
Speaker 3: It will put it on the map if if you
Speaker 3: have if you've configured so if if you go on
Speaker 3: the settings, you can configure your cure Set account. Yes,
Speaker 3: if you don't have cure Set, and that's why it
Speaker 3: was so slow, let me, Uh, I'm not going to
Speaker 3: pace my password here in the screen. But there's there's uh,
Speaker 3: there's MDB. It's a pre service. But you only have
Speaker 3: USA and Canada calls.
Speaker 1: Right, and yeah, that's the one that that Hammers had
Speaker 1: and I just I never enabled qr Z.
Speaker 3: But if you don't have a cure Set account, then
Speaker 3: Paula will figure out the country from the call sign
Speaker 3: and it will show on the map in the center
Speaker 3: of that country.
Speaker 2: Gotcha, Okay, So if I let's.
Speaker 3: Make a trial here, if I if I do for
Speaker 3: folks were for I don't know, Victoria Hotel, that's France.
Speaker 3: I say it here. It has a little flag mhm,
Speaker 3: and then in the map it will show you France.
Speaker 3: There it is, okay, but it's in the middle of France,
Speaker 3: not any not their true location.
Speaker 1: We've got some DX call signs coming into the chat.
Speaker 1: Try h I eight d Hotel India eight delta.
Speaker 3: Yeah, hotel in the H Delta.
Speaker 2: So there's Dominican Republic.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it'll show in the Dominican Republic as you can
Speaker 3: see here.
Speaker 1: There we go, there we go. Okay, yeah, that's see.
Speaker 1: That's an improvement over what I've used in the past.
Speaker 2: So that's that's good.
Speaker 4: I got some questions in the chat. If this is
Speaker 4: a good time, sure, go for it. You were talking
Speaker 4: earlier about Windows. When are you expecting or kind of
Speaker 4: think the Windows version will be released?
Speaker 3: I don't want to give dates because life is complicated always.
Speaker 3: I've I've started working on it. I've made some progress
Speaker 3: because I'm building it in a way that will reuse
Speaker 3: a lot of the code that we use sort of
Speaker 3: for the mobile version. I expect that there will be
Speaker 3: little visible progress as I built all the scaffolding, and
Speaker 3: then all of the features will work. So it's going
Speaker 3: to be all of a sudden I'll have a fully
Speaker 3: featured application, but getting to that point will be hard.
Speaker 3: So that'll take That will take a bit longer than
Speaker 3: I would like to, but I'm going to say this
Speaker 3: year for sure. But I've said things that have been
Speaker 3: wrong in the past, so don't ask me to put
Speaker 3: a bet on it.
Speaker 2: Okay, that's fair.
Speaker 4: You're mentioning cat control since this is a mostly a
Speaker 4: phone application, Will cat control work via the phone?
Speaker 3: Yes. The approach we're taking is that I tried to
Speaker 3: find a way to get the the most features for
Speaker 3: the least work. So we're building a little bridge device,
Speaker 3: which is it's this little Raspberry Pie zero running a
Speaker 3: custom firmware that since we'll start to the stop.
Speaker 1: Stop sharing your screen for just a minute, Sebastians, so
Speaker 1: people can see.
Speaker 3: Let me establish there. There you go, this little Raspberry
Speaker 3: Pie zero to wireless. Any Raspberry Pie that has Bluetooth
Speaker 3: would work. And this is like a twenty dollars plus
Speaker 3: an sty card is another ten dollars, so it's not
Speaker 3: a significantly expensive thing. And this is the thing that
Speaker 3: will connect to the serial port on your radio and
Speaker 3: then this speaks Bluetooth low energy to your phone.
Speaker 1: Okay, what if your radio has Bluetooth like a seven
Speaker 1: O five or something.
Speaker 3: So the at some point will support native CAT of
Speaker 3: the seven O five and say the FX for CR
Speaker 3: or any other They're not that many radios that have Bluetooth.
Speaker 2: No, there's really not. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: And part of it is that I started working on
Speaker 3: controlling the seven or five directly and I run into
Speaker 3: so many little problems and then the idea of having
Speaker 3: to struggle to support every single radio one at a time,
Speaker 3: and then I realized there's the Hamlet library that supports
Speaker 3: all of them already. Yeah, so building this device will
Speaker 3: support any radio that is supported by hamleb and also
Speaker 3: in a way that works on Android and iOS through
Speaker 3: Bluetooth wirelessly, and then we can I mean, I'm not
Speaker 3: going to stop there, but that will like release the
Speaker 3: pressure from having to support CAT. And then people say, oh,
Speaker 3: but I want the Yasu eight nine five ninety one,
Speaker 3: but also on the U nine nine one, and I
Speaker 3: have the YESU eight seven seven, and like, with this,
Speaker 3: it will support all of them more than good enough,
Speaker 3: and then we can we can work on getting better
Speaker 3: support for for the radios that can use better support
Speaker 3: through through through Bluetooth directly or even like network like
Speaker 3: controlling a flex by just being on the same Wi
Speaker 3: Fi network is another possibility.
Speaker 4: Nice Okay, yeah, okay, I've seen sub a question also
Speaker 4: about kind of group logging around field Day events? Does
Speaker 4: it support and field Day does field Day in general?
Speaker 4: And then let's do a second part for group events.
Speaker 3: Let me go back to the screen here and show
Speaker 3: you something, which is that yeah, you could, you could
Speaker 3: start a new one and it's not enabled. So in
Speaker 3: the settings, there are more settings for things like the
Speaker 3: app features. You can enable field Day, you can enable
Speaker 3: thirteen colonies, quso parties. There's like the Georgia State Spark
Speaker 3: on the air Winter field Day, their support for uh lighthouses, castles,
Speaker 3: bunkers on the air, Global Mountain Activity, silas in the air,
Speaker 3: all of those and you can do all of them
Speaker 3: at the same time if if slash when that makes sense.
Speaker 3: But let's say you want to do so. The bad
Speaker 3: news is because we don't have yet the cloud sync,
Speaker 3: it does not support group logging for field Day. That's
Speaker 3: that's something that's very much in our goals and I
Speaker 3: really want to get it right and make it a
Speaker 3: much better experience than on what it usually is. But
Speaker 3: it's not going to be ready this year. Both you
Speaker 3: could do your field day and let's say I'm going
Speaker 3: to be at two Alpha in eastern New York and
Speaker 3: I'm going to be at one hundred Watson less and
Speaker 3: with battery power m and why not? And why there
Speaker 3: you go? And I can do that also with parks
Speaker 3: on the air.
Speaker 2: You can add a part to it also, so.
Speaker 3: You can have both things going on at the same time.
Speaker 3: And when you're done, it'll give you the experts for
Speaker 3: parks and the air and for field Day in Cabrillo.
Speaker 3: As the each one requires different formats, so you get
Speaker 3: each of the experts separately. Now what that means. Now,
Speaker 3: if you notice I now have the class and location
Speaker 3: exchanges from field Day, I can, for example, I can
Speaker 3: I don't care about the five nine, so I'll remove
Speaker 3: those fields. You can select that here if if that's
Speaker 3: what you want, and then I can log field day.
Speaker 3: I can. I can November one Charlie whiskey whiskey Charlie Brian,
Speaker 3: for example, and he'll call me and he'll say that
Speaker 3: he's a two Bravo in uh Tennessee. And for example,
Speaker 3: here it will confirm the location name of the section.
Speaker 3: This is not states.
Speaker 2: This is ARRL sections, AWL sections.
Speaker 3: So you are where are you Jason?
Speaker 2: November Tango x ray.
Speaker 3: So you're November Tango extras so in Northern Texas. Northern
Speaker 3: Texas is easy one. But I always like to give
Speaker 3: the example of California. I hate what I'm doing field
Speaker 3: day and someone tells me they're in Santa Barbara. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: not sure what Santa Barbara is. So if I type,
Speaker 3: if I start typing the name, you give me all
Speaker 3: the list of things that start with Sana and if
Speaker 3: I press space, it will just pick Santa Barbara, okay,
Speaker 3: or if you know it and if you know San Diego,
Speaker 3: says DG, just type it. But you get it confirmed
Speaker 3: right here. So you know what the name is. You're
Speaker 3: November Tango x ray. You're North Texas. So this will
Speaker 3: lock you the sections you'll tell you if if you
Speaker 3: type a class that's two hotel, it'll show in red
Speaker 3: because that's not a valid class these days. If you
Speaker 3: type a location, say you're you're in West Texas, it
Speaker 3: doesn't work. You have to be in southern Texas. Now,
Speaker 3: what's the other Texas section?
Speaker 1: West text WWTX, WTX.
Speaker 3: Why doesn't that show? Maybe because I didn't put a
Speaker 3: call sign. Yeah yeah, killing the to delta will be
Speaker 3: West Texas. And right here, if you top on the
Speaker 3: this line here or what it says here, you get
Speaker 3: a summary of your operation, including the checklist of the
Speaker 3: sections where worked, the points based on your power multipliers,
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. And this is another feature. This
Speaker 3: is an exclusive reveal. No one has seen this yet.
Speaker 3: I've been working on this the last couple of days.
Speaker 3: I was talking with Tim Graymond Poda recently about field
Speaker 3: Day and how you know, the the usual people complaining
Speaker 3: about please copy one alpha. Right, so in the new
Speaker 3: version of POLO, you can log them as please copy
Speaker 3: one alpha. And I don't know where he is actually.
Speaker 1: Indiana and Indiana.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Indiana. And now the little plus tells you
Speaker 3: that they were a police copy and in the stats
Speaker 3: you get a percentage of police copies.
Speaker 4: I love this.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what that is freaking cool?
Speaker 2: Right there?
Speaker 4: What was the that had.
Speaker 2: Kyle's idea PC please copy please? Yeah, that had be
Speaker 2: Kyle's idea, he.
Speaker 3: Said, ken Man, Yeah, it came from gay Man.
Speaker 2: That didn't really come from Tim.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, we did talk about about Kyle when
Speaker 3: we were talking about this.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course we can call it.
Speaker 3: We can call it the Kyle stat Yeah, and maybe
Speaker 3: the the the field day operation that locks the highest
Speaker 3: percentage of field copy of police copies will gain will
Speaker 3: will be awarded the Kyle Memorial.
Speaker 1: Yes, something with a unicorn head on it.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so show me before you click off of the screen. Here,
Speaker 1: you put your doing field Day on the screen right here.
Speaker 1: But you're also in a park, so I think it's
Speaker 1: on that menu kind of it.
Speaker 2: That's right? Yeah, see that.
Speaker 1: So what if someone comes by and there in a
Speaker 1: park you want to log a park to park at
Speaker 1: field Day? Is it in there menu? It's that menu? Okay,
Speaker 1: you had to scroll over to it. I was thinking
Speaker 1: it was right there. Oh you can expand it, okay, good, and.
Speaker 3: Say you care about soda. You can even include the
Speaker 3: soda gotchas here for example, or if you want to
Speaker 3: keep notes, et cetera. Okay, you can expand it. You can,
Speaker 3: you can. Yeah, if you have enough room on your screen,
Speaker 3: you can always have it visible like this.
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, awesome, Okay, I I kind of assume that's
Speaker 1: where it was.
Speaker 2: I just want to do confirm.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you're running on a tablet, let me
Speaker 3: see if this works. If now that I switched the screen. Yeah,
Speaker 3: on a here is a bit tied, but in a
Speaker 3: tablet you have more room. This the screen is split
Speaker 3: and now you have your operations stats visible all the
Speaker 3: time here or the operator information m HM, and you
Speaker 3: have you can have this spall or the map always
Speaker 3: visible and adjust the width of the of this. This
Speaker 3: on a phone is a little bit too tight, but
Speaker 3: on a tablet it looks very nice.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to see how that looks on my
Speaker 1: z fold phone.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, so good.
Speaker 3: And see this like the little tree icon is for
Speaker 3: PoTA volunteers.
Speaker 1: H M.
Speaker 3: Let's see if I can get them. Never demonstrate things
Speaker 3: with development.
Speaker 4: You didn't do your demos.
Speaker 3: Mike is in the PoTA Board of Directors. So you
Speaker 3: will be operating and randomly some people will call you
Speaker 3: and you will note that there are PoTA volunteers, so
Speaker 3: you can say thank you to them for all the
Speaker 3: work they're doing. Yeah, people ask if it'll handle club call.
Speaker 3: If you want to set up a club call, you
Speaker 3: click here. So it could be operating on the Ham
Speaker 3: to K radio club and you will have the station
Speaker 3: calls and b ham to k Radio Club. The operator
Speaker 3: is kindled India to Delta. And while I'm operating, say
Speaker 3: I I want to switch operators. I can type op
Speaker 3: and say cant X becomes a new operator, so I
Speaker 3: type OP ken t X and there's any further accuses
Speaker 3: who will be attributed to him as the operator. So
Speaker 3: it works for multi operators single station field day. It
Speaker 3: doesn't work yet well for multi station field day groups. Okay,
Speaker 3: there's plenty more little tricks. There's there's I mean, we
Speaker 3: have a great manually you can access it from the
Speaker 3: app here and has lots of things on the features
Speaker 3: and how to use everything in there. It's not a
Speaker 3: bad idea to go read it. We have a YouTube channel. Please, actually,
Speaker 3: by the way, before we continue, go on the YouTube channel, subscribe, like, link, comment,
Speaker 3: do all the things that the algorithm likes.
Speaker 2: We have Frank, go ahead and share that in the chat.
Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. We have we have Instagram. We have
Speaker 3: loose Sky, but mostly YouTube and Instagram are our most
Speaker 3: active things. We have online forums and a discord chat.
Speaker 3: They're both equally important. The discord is more interactive, but
Speaker 3: the forums are great for searching what other people have
Speaker 3: said in the past, or if they've run into the
Speaker 3: same problem you have. We have a very yay. I
Speaker 3: broke the app. There you go, let me let me
Speaker 3: we started. I was going to share the list of
Speaker 3: developers that's there in the about page, but it's broken
Speaker 3: on my developer version, so go check it out. There's
Speaker 3: there's we have. We have almost a dozen people helping.
Speaker 3: Because Polo is open source, so it's free as in speech.
Speaker 3: As I say, it's also free as in beer. It
Speaker 3: costs zero dollars. You can all you can get it
Speaker 3: for free. I like to think of it as as
Speaker 3: pay what you want if you if you really like it,
Speaker 3: if you appreciate it. We really appreciate any any donation,
Speaker 3: any contribution you center a way is think of it
Speaker 3: as tipping your your your waitress, your it's a it's
Speaker 3: not but it's not needed. And if you're on retirement
Speaker 3: income and you really can't afford it, I'm more than
Speaker 3: happy to see you use Polo and enjoy Polo and
Speaker 3: not pay any thing. So it's it. That's why we
Speaker 3: made it be like pay what you want and free
Speaker 3: and open source, and the open source is also a
Speaker 3: guarantee that even if I get tired of this and
Speaker 3: abandon the project, other people can pick it up and
Speaker 3: keep it going. They don't even need my permission to
Speaker 3: do that. So if if if I start being a
Speaker 3: dick and say no to people's ideas, then someone can
Speaker 3: take the project and fork it and come up with
Speaker 3: their own version and reuse all the existing features. So
Speaker 3: it's it's that is. It's kind of like a way
Speaker 3: to force myself to pay attention to what people want
Speaker 3: and to to make sure that you're not going to
Speaker 3: get left behind. But if somebody decides to abandon their app,
Speaker 3: if you get invested in POE and learn how to
Speaker 3: use it and that becomes your routine and I get
Speaker 3: tired of it or I get hit by a boss,
Speaker 3: then some other people can pick it up and keep
Speaker 3: it going.
Speaker 2: Good.
Speaker 3: I don't know what else did I might be missing.
Speaker 4: It's you have another list of questions if you're ready.
Speaker 1: One second, one, yeah, yeah, hold on, Frank, I did
Speaker 1: want to mention I didn't want to interrupt you a
Speaker 1: minute ago. But you have a logging thing in there
Speaker 1: for the thirteen Colonies event, which actually starts in like
Speaker 1: eight days. That's July first to July seventh. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be the out of town when it starts, but I'll
Speaker 1: be back home before that. So we're going to be
Speaker 1: trying to work some uh some thirteen colonies from Colorado
Speaker 1: in the National Parks as well. So that is a
Speaker 1: that that's a fun event. I really enjoyed that event
Speaker 1: every year.
Speaker 3: I I I last year and this year I'm gonna
Speaker 3: do it too. I'll be activating for New York for
Speaker 3: Quila Tu Alpha Good and last year I logged I
Speaker 3: did about two thousand quses and I love them all
Speaker 3: using Polo nice okay on my phone with my thumbs.
Speaker 3: So that's the That was a big test that that
Speaker 3: you can log a lot of cuesos in Poland and
Speaker 3: it will still work fine.
Speaker 2: Absolutely.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I imagine this.
Speaker 3: Feature is more for hunters than for activators because there's
Speaker 3: there's a lot more hunters than activators. And it basically
Speaker 3: you get if you work Kila to Alpha, it'll tell
Speaker 3: you here it's a New York colony. If you work
Speaker 3: Kilo too, Beta is Virginia, Bravo, et cetera. And in
Speaker 3: the sorry, if you tap here, you will have the
Speaker 3: checklist for the colonies you've work. But an even better
Speaker 3: thing is that this is my general operation log. Say
Speaker 3: that my field day doesn't overlap in days. But let's
Speaker 3: say that I add thirteen colonies to my field day.
Speaker 3: Now I can see and I during my field day,
Speaker 3: I work Quila two, Massachusetts, Kilo two Hotel. You see
Speaker 3: this little start, It tells me I've worked three colonies already,
Speaker 3: and if I tap here, it will show me the colonies,
Speaker 3: including the ones I've worked in a different operation. Okay,
Speaker 3: so anything you work during that week, even if it's
Speaker 3: through multiple parks, multiple activities and whatnot, it'll show up
Speaker 3: as the checklist here.
Speaker 1: Now, can you go out and export just the thirteen
Speaker 1: colony contacts?
Speaker 3: I was working on trying to figureut how to do that.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it'll be ready for they for the time,
Speaker 3: but yes, it's I know exactly what you mean.
Speaker 1: Like you were, you were showing an example of exporting
Speaker 1: full log or sodo log or potologue by by itself.
Speaker 3: Yeah, sote colonies doesn't have an export just yet.
Speaker 1: Now you don't have to upload thirteen colonies. You just
Speaker 1: have to write down it on the paper and mail
Speaker 1: it or scan it or something like that.
Speaker 3: All you need to do is say that you work
Speaker 3: the stations and write yeah.
Speaker 1: So so they don't require an adive file upload, but
Speaker 1: it's still cool to have it would be.
Speaker 3: Yes, I agree, yeah, yeah, it's and all of this
Speaker 3: you're seeing will go out. We're gonna be releasing the
Speaker 3: July version next week, okay. All the features for field
Speaker 3: Day will be out, and thirteen Colonies starts right after
Speaker 3: Field Days. It's on Tuesday, is the first of July.
Speaker 1: It's always the first seven days of July.
Speaker 3: Yep, the first seven days of July. So starting on Tuesday,
Speaker 3: it will be thirteen Colonies. And the way we do
Speaker 3: it's possible for us to work on this and next
Speaker 3: week release an incremental patch update that adds the export
Speaker 3: so gotcha the there might be there might be time
Speaker 3: to include the thirteen Colonies expert. Okay, before the end
Speaker 3: of thirteen Colonies.
Speaker 1: For the end of July, before July seventh, basically, right, Okay, yeah, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: just a question, all right, Frank, I know you got
Speaker 1: some questions.
Speaker 4: Go ahead, yep, yep, there's a question. This was a
Speaker 4: while ago. If I log a park to park with
Speaker 4: someone like Jason is in a park in Colorado, he's traveling,
Speaker 4: Will the map spot him in Colorado or Texas?
Speaker 3: Colorado as soon as you put a park reference, even
Speaker 3: if you don't have you or Z. We have the
Speaker 3: database of parks and since you said that this person
Speaker 3: was at this park, will use those coordinates for the map,
Speaker 3: for the location and everything else. Perfect.
Speaker 4: Nice. You talked about the partial call sign tracking for
Speaker 4: when you're working a pile up.
Speaker 3: Oh I didn't, but I can do a quick share here.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I saw that question command I wouldn't really follow into
Speaker 1: what he was asking.
Speaker 3: So, so this is this is cole stocking. Now this
Speaker 3: I mean restart the app call. The feature is known
Speaker 3: as coal stacking because you can stack calls in a
Speaker 3: list and then work them as as they come. Okay, man,
Speaker 3: what's going on with my phone today? Virtual phone?
Speaker 2: It's still a beta still in beta right?
Speaker 3: Yeah? This is this is the development version, not the
Speaker 3: so it has all the stuff I've been working in
Speaker 3: the last couple of weeks that will go as part
Speaker 3: of the July release, and so we still need to
Speaker 3: clean up some things. Whoa yeah, live demo. Let me
Speaker 3: see if I can get this. Okay now, it's now
Speaker 3: it came to life. Here we go, so whatever any
Speaker 3: part here. So I'm working a pilot and I hear
Speaker 3: Quilo Charlie five, and then as I was saying that,
Speaker 3: I hear Tank coming up much more loudly and over Jason.
Speaker 3: So I type slash slash and I start getting Kilo
Speaker 3: Goal five Alpha Hotel, and then on top of that,
Speaker 3: I get Whiskey one, Whiskey Charlie. So all of them
Speaker 3: are here, and I know that this is a good one.
Speaker 3: I go back to him, Whiskey Charlie, you're five nine,
Speaker 3: New York, and he said, yeah, you're You're Please copy
Speaker 3: one Alpha Tennessee and I log him. Now after I
Speaker 3: log him, he disappears for the list, but all the
Speaker 3: other ones separated by the double slash are still in
Speaker 3: the list. So I can now say, okay, who's the
Speaker 3: Kilo Goal five? And Tank will say Kilogal five Alpha Hotel, Juliet, Oh,
Speaker 3: Juliet Perfect five nine, New York, and he says one
Speaker 3: Alpha in North Texas. I worked him and it clears
Speaker 3: every thing from the list, and now I'm back to
Speaker 3: the Kilo Charlie five, and I call the Kilo Charlie five,
Speaker 3: what's a call? And you'll sometimes you moved on and
Speaker 3: I don't hear you, so I delete and start calling
Speaker 3: SEQ again.
Speaker 2: Gotcha.
Speaker 1: So it knows that that those partial call signs are
Speaker 1: not complete, right, and.
Speaker 3: It will pick the first complete call. So you could
Speaker 3: even do kilo one slash slash. Let me let me
Speaker 3: demonstrate something here also with uh without the hardware keyboard,
Speaker 3: because it's slash slash. But if you've noticed, well, there's
Speaker 3: the number row here that POLO gives you to enter
Speaker 3: numbers more easily. But even even without that in the indiandro,
Speaker 3: in the phones, even on on an iPad, you sometimes
Speaker 3: don't have the slash at hand. You have the period
Speaker 3: the coma. You can enter a period and it will
Speaker 3: replace that with a slash if needed. So if your
Speaker 3: keyboard has a period, you can enter that instead of
Speaker 3: the slash, and that works the same way. OK. So
Speaker 3: if if I enter kilo one and then I enter
Speaker 3: a full call sign, let's say Kilo India five, Oscar
Speaker 3: echo bravo, H Kilo India five, Oscar Echo bravo, and
Speaker 3: then slash slash, and I hear someone else say zero. Oh,
Speaker 3: so if I hit send. Now it will enter kilo
Speaker 3: in the A five echo Bravo. That's the only full
Speaker 3: call in the list. And then I can say, okay,
Speaker 3: who's the zero oscar and I'll get the I'll have
Speaker 3: to tap here and enter zero oscar. What was it
Speaker 3: called whiskey India zero oscar? Submit and it gets logged
Speaker 3: and I'm back to the Kilo one and I can
Speaker 3: ask for a Kilo one.
Speaker 2: Gotcha?
Speaker 3: That is?
Speaker 2: That is a neat feature.
Speaker 4: I like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like that a lot.
Speaker 4: Yeah, see to use this feature. But then I remember
Speaker 4: me like station and a H stand by I heard,
Speaker 4: but time I've done work in him, I forgot who
Speaker 4: you forget that? Not?
Speaker 3: What you need to do is do slash slash a
Speaker 3: H and it will be there on the screen for
Speaker 3: you to call on them afterwards.
Speaker 1: I like, I don't have to try that on Poda.
Speaker 1: That that's a cool feature. I like that, all right, Frank,
Speaker 1: we got anything else?
Speaker 4: Smoking signals? Don's asking I am operating, I am operating
Speaker 4: phild day and the station states that they're in a
Speaker 4: Poda park. Do I click the P to P tab
Speaker 4: and then entered their park number. Yes, that's all you
Speaker 4: need to do sweet. And this was question was when
Speaker 4: you're talking about exporting logs, do you support expoding logs
Speaker 4: directly to World Radio League.
Speaker 3: Not yet we we I don't know when we'll get
Speaker 3: to it. But I want to make a feature that
Speaker 3: lets you automatically sync your logs to cure Z clublog
Speaker 3: World Radio League, any other app that has any kind
Speaker 3: of API that lets you push log data to it.
Speaker 3: So when you're done with your operation, you get back
Speaker 3: home and you have your Internet, you press a button
Speaker 3: and you'll say, okay, working on it. It'll spinner, it
Speaker 3: says boom, don't you've uploaded all your logs to whatever
Speaker 3: you wanted to upload that that will come soon, just
Speaker 3: not sure where when. Okay, Like I said, lots of ideas,
Speaker 3: not enough time.
Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 4: And here are several different other something's on the air
Speaker 4: that people want you to support, BUCkies on the Air,
Speaker 4: Scouts on the Air, Drags on the Air.
Speaker 3: That we built Polo thinking about the world beyond Poda
Speaker 3: from day zero. It's one of the reasons, I mean,
Speaker 3: Polo has a great support for Soda and great support
Speaker 3: for all the other programs you saw there on the list.
Speaker 3: If you have a program, and and you tell me
Speaker 3: what the list of references are and what the requirements
Speaker 3: are for the logging, we can add it topolo, very easy.
Speaker 3: Like it's not a it's not a big deal. It's
Speaker 3: a harder deal to come up with a program that's
Speaker 3: a I mean, I I want to get breweries on
Speaker 3: the air, But it's it's easy to say that. It's
Speaker 3: harder to get the right list of breweries and decide
Speaker 3: what are Yeah, yeah, you know. It's like by the
Speaker 3: time you were set on the rules, you're so drunk
Speaker 3: you're forgot what the roof where and then have to
Speaker 3: start again the next day.
Speaker 4: Welcome to most club meetings, right, yeah? How many times
Speaker 4: we got to reread the minutes from the last minutes? Yes,
Speaker 4: this was a fun one from dawn, He asked Sebastian,
Speaker 4: what is your favorites? Beverage and or cigar?
Speaker 3: I don't I used to smoke cigarettes a long time ago. Uh,
Speaker 3: And I was like doing even like two packs a day,
Speaker 3: and then one day decided to quit cold turkey good
Speaker 3: for you and uh. And the the main reason I
Speaker 3: don't smoke cigars is that I'm not sure if you'll
Speaker 3: trigger the addiction response from back then kind of avoid it,
Speaker 3: I do, I mean, actually have the bottle here. This
Speaker 3: is one of my favorite drinks is Venezuela and rum
Speaker 3: Diplomatic Goo Ra Cerva Exclusiva. Look for this green bottle
Speaker 3: if you see it. It's worth getting. It's not that
Speaker 3: expensive and it's one of the best sipping RUMs. Don't
Speaker 3: mix it with diet coke.
Speaker 2: No, no mixing.
Speaker 3: This is sipping, not a mixing rum unless you're I mean,
Speaker 3: if you're doing like a fancy cocktail with drum with
Speaker 3: premium drinking, and it's probably worth it. But otherwise it's
Speaker 3: just sipping rum. It's my favorite and I highly recommend it.
Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's true in all the
Speaker 3: all of the US, but they have great distribution in
Speaker 3: the East Coast. I find them on every liquor store
Speaker 3: and usually like between thirty and forty dollars, which is
Speaker 3: not that bad.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's not bad at all. Okay, good to know.
Speaker 3: And if if somebody from Diplomatic is listening to this,
Speaker 3: which I don't expect, but but I'll be your official
Speaker 3: ambassador on the Ham community.
Speaker 4: I had a cigar rep tarked to me over at
Speaker 4: the cigar store and I've been itching to smoke some
Speaker 4: of his cigars. I got a good batch of them.
Speaker 4: But that's that's in here or there. I just just
Speaker 4: you said rap. I was like, yes, I could do
Speaker 4: that for you. Oh we got another one ghost Towns
Speaker 4: on the air. I know the spirits.
Speaker 3: I mean there's there's a famous uh uh what was
Speaker 3: it Walmart parking lots on the air.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was an Instagram thing, I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there is also port on the air. Yeap
Speaker 3: that that's the thing that I need to build better
Speaker 3: support for that for the next time. Mention.
Speaker 2: That was the thing at ham Bension.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had two or three guys do parties on
Speaker 1: the air at Hanvension.
Speaker 3: I'll for next next year, I'll have a better, better,
Speaker 3: better support on the app.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: That's all the questions I banked, sir, Okay, any other
Speaker 1: questions in the chat. Let us know, Sebastian, this looks
Speaker 1: really good. I'm looking forward to trying it out. And uh,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to. I was able to I was

Speaker 1: I did turn it sideways, then it would act like.
Speaker 2: A tablet and side. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so definitely gonna try it that way.
Speaker 2: I like that view of it. So that's that was good.
Speaker 4: H A on the air. Yeah that you're guaranteed to
Speaker 4: get no contacts.
Speaker 2: H we don't want that.
