And July 11th, we're getting married and part

00:10:10.730 --> 00:10:13.649
of the celebration will include a special event

00:10:13.649 --> 00:10:19.450
call sign in 4J, Neil for Julie, in 4J for a

00:10:19.450 --> 00:10:24.450
few days next weekend. And she's always saying,

00:10:24.990 --> 00:10:27.250
when are you going to have me on the show? When

00:10:27.250 --> 00:10:30.169
are you going to have me on the show? And so,

00:10:30.350 --> 00:10:34.200
you know, I'd say, okay, well, okay. I'll put

00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:38.779
you on, and then it's like, well, no. So this

00:10:38.779 --> 00:10:44.379
time, I said, okay, Julie, this is your chance

00:10:44.379 --> 00:10:47.600
to be on the show, and everybody can get your

00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:52.100
side of the story. So here she is, ladies and

00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:55.679
gentlemen, boys and girls, it's Julie Swigert.

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:03.759
Thanks, honey. Don Wilkens was supposed to be

00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:06.440
your last resort guest on the show and you got

00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.019
me on instead. So I think I don't know if I'm

00:11:09.019 --> 00:11:12.860
lower than him or if he's lower than me that

00:11:12.860 --> 00:11:15.299
you asked me before him. I'm not sure where that

00:11:15.299 --> 00:11:20.100
stands. I see everybody keeps saying that. Christian

00:11:20.100 --> 00:11:22.840
says that. Now Don's saying it. Now you're like,

00:11:23.820 --> 00:11:28.419
you're not the last resort. Oh, I am. I'm not

00:11:28.419 --> 00:11:32.210
a him. Operator so I have to be a last resort

00:11:32.210 --> 00:11:38.570
Now the last resort would be like putting Ali

00:11:38.570 --> 00:11:43.710
on although Ali's been on the show Ali the cat

00:11:43.710 --> 00:11:52.210
That would be the last resort So we had this

00:11:52.210 --> 00:11:59.049
wedding all planned out for May 30th And then

00:11:59.049 --> 00:12:07.909
the whole pandemic hit and we postponed it and

00:12:07.909 --> 00:12:11.629
July 11th ended up being the date that we had

00:12:11.629 --> 00:12:15.330
picked. And I had already filed for a call sign

00:12:15.330 --> 00:12:22.690
several times, W8W, which was W for wedding.

00:12:23.080 --> 00:12:25.360
And I thought, you know, that'll be great. And,

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.919
you know, WLW is just down the road, you know,

00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:32.340
and it's in the same town. So, you know, it kind

00:12:32.340 --> 00:12:35.139
of matches up. And every time I would turn it

00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:39.440
in, it got turned down. I don't know why, but

00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.059
they rejected it. And they rejected it. And they

00:12:42.059 --> 00:12:47.940
rejected it. And then we got the idea for N4J,

00:12:48.059 --> 00:12:50.379
because then we could have, you know, Neil for

00:12:50.379 --> 00:12:55.769
Julie. and do n4j. And so I applied for it and

00:12:55.769 --> 00:12:58.450
didn't hear anything back. And I checked every

00:12:58.450 --> 00:13:02.330
day for like a month and there was nothing there.

00:13:02.990 --> 00:13:05.909
So I kind of let it go. And with the pandemic

00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:09.789
going on, I was like, yeah, you know, I don't

00:13:09.789 --> 00:13:12.409
know if we're going to be, you know, we're just

00:13:12.409 --> 00:13:14.669
trying to pull off a wedding. I'm not going to

00:13:14.669 --> 00:13:19.029
push the issue. So I happened to look and it

00:13:19.029 --> 00:13:23.919
was there. they had approved it and i was actually

00:13:23.919 --> 00:13:27.299
thinking about trying to you know call up somebody

00:13:27.299 --> 00:13:29.460
and say okay why is this not getting approved

00:13:29.460 --> 00:13:32.580
what's going on they had approved it so i put

00:13:32.580 --> 00:13:38.220
in for the rescheduled dates and it came up that

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:42.860
same day so so we have this in 4j special event

00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:47.779
station next weekend so so what are your thoughts

00:13:47.779 --> 00:13:57.580
about Having a call sign for next weekend Wow,

00:13:57.580 --> 00:14:05.039
I Suppose the day has been all about what I want

00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.899
in a lot of ways. So if this keeps you happy

00:14:07.899 --> 00:14:14.700
I'll about it As a matter of fact, no threatened

00:14:14.700 --> 00:14:20.710
the groomsmen two of whom are also hams, that

00:14:20.710 --> 00:14:24.990
at 430, if any one of you is not there at the

00:14:24.990 --> 00:14:27.129
front of the barn where we're getting married,

00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:30.070
ready to be married, no antennas sticking out

00:14:30.070 --> 00:14:33.529
of any pockets or set up anywhere in the barn,

00:14:33.889 --> 00:14:37.029
that they will have to deal with me. And I think

00:14:37.029 --> 00:14:39.250
the groomsmen are scared enough of me that I

00:14:39.250 --> 00:14:42.330
think that was a threat enough and we should

00:14:42.330 --> 00:14:49.879
be good. I'm not sure. Yeah, well, the groom

00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:53.019
knows better. But I was actually talking to my

00:14:53.019 --> 00:14:56.480
best friend and will be the best man, Eric, in

00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:00.379
9KDB this afternoon. And he was talking about

00:15:00.379 --> 00:15:04.940
that post on Facebook and he said, I didn't even

00:15:04.940 --> 00:15:07.039
have to read the whole post. As soon as Julie

00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:12.820
said, let me be clear, that was it. That's what

00:15:12.820 --> 00:15:16.659
he said. I'm very easy going. understand this

00:15:16.659 --> 00:15:19.879
is important to you and I don't fully understand

00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.899
it but I'm very very supportive of it because

00:15:22.899 --> 00:15:25.919
you have your things I have mine and we are very

00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:29.159
supportive of each other with that and so it's

00:15:29.159 --> 00:15:33.059
fine Thursday it's fine Friday until about 530

00:15:33.059 --> 00:15:38.519
it's fine on Sunday it's even fine Saturday morning

00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.980
as long as it doesn't interfere with what needs

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:44.019
to happen if you are not there Ready to marry

00:15:44.019 --> 00:15:49.100
me at 430? We're gonna have a problem. Yes, I

00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:55.259
can definitely understand that. But we get our

00:15:55.259 --> 00:16:02.360
own call sign. Yeah, fine. Especially when I

00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:07.480
don't even have a call sign. Well, this is your

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:10.940
chance because your name is on the call sign.

00:16:12.129 --> 00:16:14.070
I mean, it's just a letter. That letter could

00:16:14.070 --> 00:16:15.610
stand for a whole lot of different things. No,

00:16:15.610 --> 00:16:22.330
but your last name is on the registration. Is

00:16:22.330 --> 00:16:26.590
that legal? Yeah, it's legal. What about Sam?

00:16:28.370 --> 00:16:30.210
I've been told so many times I've done things

00:16:30.210 --> 00:16:33.210
that are illegal. I don't even know it. And you

00:16:33.210 --> 00:16:38.330
don't even know it? Yeah. It scares me sometimes.

00:16:40.629 --> 00:16:47.480
All right. moving on so when I was on ham nation

00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.879
a few weeks ago Jocelyn tells me that someone

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.299
in the chat room had this to say when I mentioned

00:16:55.299 --> 00:16:58.419
that you were going to let me have a tower once

00:16:58.419 --> 00:17:01.759
we got a home together this is what they said

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:11.589
marry her marry her marry her So, what are your

00:17:11.589 --> 00:17:15.430
thoughts on how much trouble it's been to try

00:17:15.430 --> 00:17:20.569
to find a home in your area that allows antennas?

00:17:27.269 --> 00:17:30.470
I have to calm myself down before I answer that.

00:17:31.349 --> 00:17:36.730
Okay, so it's not so hard to find an area that

00:17:36.730 --> 00:17:38.450
will allow antennas. We've got to go outside

00:17:38.450 --> 00:17:42.460
of main subdivision. That's doable, but all the

00:17:42.460 --> 00:17:45.240
houses don't meet the prerequisites that we need.

00:17:45.579 --> 00:17:48.660
Like, not only do we have to have a place that

00:17:48.660 --> 00:17:51.680
allows a tower, but no, no, no, the spare bedroom

00:17:51.680 --> 00:17:53.579
that you're working from has to be in the back

00:17:53.579 --> 00:17:55.579
of the house, can't be in the front of the house.

00:17:55.900 --> 00:17:59.059
We found a perfect house a couple of weeks ago.

00:17:59.279 --> 00:18:03.240
Gorgeous. Went to see it, walked through it.

00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:08.380
I fell in love. But it's a no, just simply because

00:18:08.509 --> 00:18:10.410
The master bedroom is in the back and the spare

00:18:10.410 --> 00:18:13.769
bedrooms are in the front. And apparently like

00:18:13.769 --> 00:18:17.529
distance from said antenna or from said tower

00:18:17.529 --> 00:18:21.130
has something to do with something. And so it

00:18:21.130 --> 00:18:23.650
was either the master bedroom becomes your ham

00:18:23.650 --> 00:18:27.329
shack and I end up sleeping in a tiny spare bedroom

00:18:27.329 --> 00:18:31.569
or that wasn't our house. And so we concluded

00:18:31.569 --> 00:18:35.650
that was not our house. So it has been frustrating.

00:18:36.640 --> 00:18:39.599
I would have already found a house by now or

00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:45.980
found land upon which to build a house. But it's

00:18:45.980 --> 00:18:48.259
very challenging and yet I drive by like when

00:18:48.259 --> 00:18:51.240
I come to see you in Indiana, I drive by all

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.039
these places where there's land for sale out

00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:55.440
in the country and it's just so doable. I think

00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:57.720
it's because we're in the suburbs so close to

00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:01.180
downtown Cincinnati that everything is already

00:19:01.180 --> 00:19:04.500
taken and it's just really hard to come by land.

00:19:04.779 --> 00:19:07.440
if we want to build. So that has added a challenge.

00:19:08.019 --> 00:19:10.359
But as far as having the tower, I don't care.

00:19:10.900 --> 00:19:15.279
I mean, again, that's your thing. And that's

00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:17.279
what you're passionate about. And I will always,

00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:21.980
always, always support you in that in whatever

00:19:21.980 --> 00:19:25.740
way I can. So I don't care about having a tower.

00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:28.039
The difficulties in getting a house with said

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:33.660
tower has been stressful amidst planning for

00:19:33.660 --> 00:19:38.019
a wedding too, so. Not to mention in the middle

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:42.099
of a pandemic and literally everything has to

00:19:42.099 --> 00:19:47.720
be done twice. Well, you know, this is my joke.

00:19:48.140 --> 00:19:51.039
We are on the second wedding dress because I

00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:54.079
had an issue with that back in December. We are

00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:58.019
on the second venue after our venue unexpectedly

00:19:58.019 --> 00:20:00.660
cancelled on us three weeks ago, four weeks ago,

00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:05.619
I guess. We are on the second date because of

00:20:05.619 --> 00:20:08.640
the pandemic. So I just keep warning Neil to

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:10.759
watch out because I could move on to the second

00:20:10.759 --> 00:20:15.279
man. I mean, it's an option. I don't know who

00:20:15.279 --> 00:20:17.440
he would be, but it is an option. If I wanted

00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:21.900
to move on there, I could. I'm just kidding,

00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:34.960
honey. You better be. You put up with so much

00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.839
with me for so long now that like you're the

00:20:38.839 --> 00:20:46.799
one I'm keeping you Well But everything has been

00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:49.299
the second it's like we get these cooling fans

00:20:49.299 --> 00:20:52.500
And well now they don't fit so we got to get

00:20:52.500 --> 00:20:56.160
them from someplace else. I ordered ballpoint

00:20:56.160 --> 00:21:00.730
pins So people would have their own pins so that

00:21:00.730 --> 00:21:03.049
we wouldn't have to share pins, you know because

00:21:03.049 --> 00:21:06.430
of the whole pandemic thing They cancelled those

00:21:06.430 --> 00:21:11.069
and I had to reorder them It's like we had to

00:21:11.069 --> 00:21:19.990
do everything twice And now we're looking for

00:21:19.990 --> 00:21:23.470
land Yeah, we did so yeah, we that's true. We

00:21:23.470 --> 00:21:27.410
did we did keep the caterer That's it though

00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:32.859
But that's about it. And each other. That's the

00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:36.680
important part. All right. Okay, so we've got

00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.839
one more question and then I'm getting to all

00:21:38.839 --> 00:21:42.759
these comments and my screen and my phone and

00:21:42.759 --> 00:21:46.019
Twitter and everything is like exploding. So

00:21:46.019 --> 00:21:49.559
we'll get to all that here in a little bit. But

00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:53.539
for others that are listening out there, what

00:21:53.539 --> 00:21:59.160
advice would you give to someone marrying a ham

00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:10.720
radio operator be patient usually Neil does his

00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:12.779
own thing and I know when he's doing ham stuff

00:22:12.779 --> 00:22:16.640
I kind of leave him alone but this whole satellite

00:22:16.640 --> 00:22:20.420
pass thing it has just about done us in on multiple

00:22:20.420 --> 00:22:23.500
occasions I don't know who created this dumb

00:22:23.500 --> 00:22:27.400
satellite thing Any time we're driving down the

00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:29.180
road, and I don't mean dumb, like I don't really

00:22:29.180 --> 00:22:31.819
mean that, but we're driving down the road and

00:22:31.819 --> 00:22:33.720
like he'll just randomly yell at me, okay, we

00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:35.640
got a satellite pass, you gotta get off at this

00:22:35.640 --> 00:22:38.400
exit. And I'm like, oh, okay, all right. So I

00:22:38.400 --> 00:22:40.599
get off and he's like, not that way, go the other

00:22:40.599 --> 00:22:43.900
way because it's higher elevation. And it's just,

00:22:44.039 --> 00:22:46.720
it's very nerve wracking to try and get to where

00:22:46.720 --> 00:22:48.740
I'm supposed to be. And then sometimes it's go

00:22:48.740 --> 00:22:51.200
up that little drive right there. And I'm like,

00:22:51.220 --> 00:22:53.200
honey, that's somebody's personal driveway. I

00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:58.549
don't care, go up it. It's very odd. I've got

00:22:58.549 --> 00:23:05.509
to be flexible. It just requires a certain amount

00:23:05.509 --> 00:23:09.910
of patience. But, because I know it's what you

00:23:09.910 --> 00:23:14.089
love, I'm willing to do it. In the same light,

00:23:14.130 --> 00:23:16.730
you turn around and support the things I love.

00:23:18.630 --> 00:23:20.710
I think it's important that everybody has their

00:23:20.710 --> 00:23:25.130
own interests and their own hobbies. together

00:23:25.130 --> 00:23:27.589
so that you have other places to have outlets

00:23:27.589 --> 00:23:33.730
and I your ham radio friends like I Love them.

00:23:33.750 --> 00:23:35.670
They are some of the dearest people that I've

00:23:35.670 --> 00:23:39.069
ever met I absolutely love them and I call them

00:23:39.069 --> 00:23:42.930
family and so We've met some I've met some amazing

00:23:42.930 --> 00:23:46.569
people because of this being your hobby But it

00:23:46.569 --> 00:23:48.289
does require a certain amount of patience from

00:23:48.289 --> 00:23:52.170
time to time Especially the ketchup incident

00:23:56.220 --> 00:24:01.299
You had your priorities out of line, honey It

00:24:01.299 --> 00:24:04.759
was very clear that your priorities were out

00:24:04.759 --> 00:24:07.559
of line we stopped so you could do a satellite

00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:09.599
pass were in the middle of a field in the middle

00:24:09.599 --> 00:24:13.240
of nowhere and I mean it was technically a parking

00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:14.940
lot, but it was like an old abandoned parking

00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:16.839
lot. There's a Wendy's parking lot in Georgia

00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:19.539
No, we weren't in the Wendy's we went to the

00:24:19.539 --> 00:24:22.779
old empty parking lot beside it beside it. That's

00:24:22.779 --> 00:24:29.670
right. That's right. So We are stopped and I'm

00:24:29.670 --> 00:24:32.789
eating my lunch while he's trying to do a satellite

00:24:32.789 --> 00:24:36.109
pass and I got ketchup everywhere and he just

00:24:36.109 --> 00:24:39.089
didn't care He did not care that I got ketchup

00:24:39.089 --> 00:24:40.890
all over because it was more important for him

00:24:40.890 --> 00:24:43.950
to make the contact He's learned since I think

00:24:43.950 --> 00:24:45.910
I've trained him a little better. That was about

00:24:45.910 --> 00:24:48.170
three or four years ago so I've had some time

00:24:48.170 --> 00:24:52.450
to train him a little bit better that a Stain

00:24:52.450 --> 00:24:56.049
or a crisis on that part is more pressing than

00:24:56.049 --> 00:24:59.230
his satellite path I still think he might argue

00:24:59.230 --> 00:25:05.190
differently but I know I'm right so and you've

00:25:05.190 --> 00:25:09.390
learned about grid squares I have learned about

00:25:09.390 --> 00:25:11.650
grid squares and I saw my first visual of them

00:25:11.650 --> 00:25:13.509
the other day when you posted something so it

00:25:13.509 --> 00:25:18.670
makes so much more sense now I'm always hearing

00:25:18.670 --> 00:25:20.670
I've got to cross the line I've got to go across

00:25:20.670 --> 00:25:23.130
the line we got it and I'm like Where are these

00:25:23.130 --> 00:25:24.769
lines that you're talking about? I'm looking

00:25:24.769 --> 00:25:27.009
everywhere and I don't see them. There are no

00:25:27.009 --> 00:25:31.710
lines But apparently there are in his head Yeah,

00:25:31.710 --> 00:25:33.750
and I guess all you other people understand what

00:25:33.750 --> 00:25:39.789
these lines are, but I look everywhere All right,

00:25:40.029 --> 00:25:44.369
well there we go All right. Well, we're gonna

00:25:44.369 --> 00:25:46.809
take a break when we come back we're gonna start

00:25:46.809 --> 00:25:50.690
addressing all these comments and tweets and

00:25:51.660 --> 00:26:00.319
Calls and whatever else Probably Probably I don't

00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:03.440
think I've ever seen the numbers this high this

00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:10.140
early on in the show So maybe Okay. All right.

00:26:10.180 --> 00:26:12.660
I'll be back with Julie right after this word

00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:15.839
from tower electronics right here on ham talk

00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:20.210
live Is this getting serious? I think so Well,

00:26:20.250 --> 00:26:23.269
how do you feel about it? Just imagine if you

00:26:23.269 --> 00:26:27.309
hadn't run out of PL -259s. Just imagine if your

00:26:27.309 --> 00:26:29.970
connectors weren't from Tower Electronics. Consider

00:26:29.970 --> 00:26:32.250
the sophisticated quality of connectors from

00:26:32.250 --> 00:26:35.150
Tower Electronics. Their silver -plated end connectors

00:26:35.150 --> 00:26:38.390
are so good, they've even been used on the International

00:26:38.390 --> 00:26:41.809
Space Station. I'm not so sure why I ever used

00:26:41.809 --> 00:26:45.849
any other PL -259s. Mine are better. Besides,

00:26:46.009 --> 00:26:49.279
you deserve the best. You know I love you. Don't

00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:52.700
be caught without PL259's. Visit Tower Electronics

00:26:52.700 --> 00:26:55.740

strategically and that's the only way it's supposed

00:33:42.690 --> 00:33:51.329

00:33:51.329 --> 00:33:55.930

00:34:20.079 --> 00:34:25.679
859 -982 -7373. Boy, the lines are lighting up

00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:29.119
here. Let's see who we have here. Hello. Welcome

00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:37.280
to Amtok Live. Hello. Hello. Hello, Neil. Yes.

00:34:38.539 --> 00:34:44.440
Neil, how are you my friend? I'm good. This is

00:34:44.440 --> 00:34:47.679
Skeeter Nash, N -5 -A -S -H, calling you from

00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:55.360
the road. And where are you Skeeter? I am about

00:34:55.360 --> 00:35:01.920
to... Let's see. I'm not quite to Union City,

00:35:01.920 --> 00:35:05.019
Tennessee, which is my destination on this particular

00:35:05.019 --> 00:35:09.150
run. in the big truck. Actually, I started a

00:35:09.150 --> 00:35:14.050
new dedicated route this week. So I am running

00:35:14.050 --> 00:35:18.150
loads of some sort of chicken parts between Tyson

00:35:18.150 --> 00:35:22.050
plants. Pick up the loaded trailer in Union City,

00:35:22.050 --> 00:35:25.130
Tennessee, take it up to Robards, Kentucky, grab

00:35:25.130 --> 00:35:27.710
an empty trailer there, bring it back down to

00:35:27.710 --> 00:35:32.369
Union City and do the whole process twice a day

00:35:32.369 --> 00:35:35.650
through the week. And the nice thing about it

00:35:35.650 --> 00:35:37.789
is it's going to have me home at least for part

00:35:37.789 --> 00:35:40.110
of the weekend and maybe a little bit into Monday.

00:35:40.610 --> 00:35:42.829
So if I have to do a doctor appointment or something

00:35:42.829 --> 00:35:44.750
like that, I can do it on Monday, which is cool.

00:35:45.469 --> 00:35:47.150
But it beats the heck out of being out there

00:35:47.150 --> 00:35:49.030
three and four weeks at a time, which is what

00:35:49.030 --> 00:35:51.070
I was doing before, being away from home for

00:35:51.070 --> 00:35:55.909
that long. So yes, my lovely and gracious bride,

00:35:56.730 --> 00:36:00.449
Sweetie, KF5KRN, she's a lot happier about the

00:36:00.449 --> 00:36:03.730
arrangement. Anyway, this is the first chance

00:36:03.730 --> 00:36:06.969
I've had really to call into HamTalk Live and

00:36:06.969 --> 00:36:10.829
I've got a reminder now that pops up to remind

00:36:10.829 --> 00:36:14.250
me the show is live so that I can listen in and

00:36:14.250 --> 00:36:18.909
check things out. So I want to offer best wishes

00:36:18.909 --> 00:36:22.230
to you and Miss Julie on the upcoming nuptials

00:36:22.230 --> 00:36:24.949
and everything. Or did I miss it? Has it already

00:36:24.949 --> 00:36:28.610
happened? No. No. Saturday. Next Saturday. Next

00:36:28.610 --> 00:36:32.619
Saturday. Eleven next Saturday seven already

00:36:32.619 --> 00:36:35.500
good. So after the yeah, very good. Okay. Well

00:36:35.500 --> 00:36:38.659
my wife and I got married on Groundhog Day in

00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:45.099
2001 and So next year we will celebrate our 20th

00:36:45.099 --> 00:36:48.639
wedding anniversary and we're very very excited

00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:52.780
about that and blessed and so hopefully Well,

00:36:52.780 --> 00:36:55.659
thank you. And and hopefully you guys will also

00:36:55.659 --> 00:36:59.320
enjoy multiple decades of Love and happiness

00:36:59.320 --> 00:37:02.019
and togetherness. I hope your your marriages

00:37:02.019 --> 00:37:05.480
is At least it's not more happier than than ours

00:37:05.480 --> 00:37:09.199
has been and ours has been a good one. So Speaking

00:37:09.199 --> 00:37:11.980
of weddings. Did you hear about the there was

00:37:11.980 --> 00:37:14.619
this there's a there was an important wedding

00:37:14.619 --> 00:37:16.360
recently I don't know if you heard about it,

00:37:16.460 --> 00:37:20.460
but there was a YL that had a 40 meter dipole

00:37:20.460 --> 00:37:24.440
and she got married to an OM that had a 20 meter

00:37:24.440 --> 00:37:27.579
beam Okay, heck or heck beam or maybe that's

00:37:27.579 --> 00:37:29.800
wrong some kind of beam antenna, right? Well,

00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:31.719
you know the wedding really wasn't all that exciting,

00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:38.400
but the reception was fantastic A little radio

00:37:38.400 --> 00:37:43.860
joke there for you guys Yeah, I didn't have my

00:37:43.860 --> 00:37:47.639
uh, I didn't have my punchline sound effect quite

00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:49.880
there. I got it there, but it was a little late.

00:37:50.440 --> 00:37:53.380
Sorry Well, that's all right. That's okay. Timing

00:37:53.380 --> 00:37:58.000
overrun on the chat. Can I clarify something

00:37:58.000 --> 00:38:03.039
for you? I'm sorry, what was that ma 'am? You

00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:05.119
said that your best part of your new route is

00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:08.280
that you're home more often, but I would argue

00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:10.340
that there's also a good part that you come to

00:38:10.340 --> 00:38:12.940
Kentucky. That's always got to be a highlight.

00:38:14.280 --> 00:38:18.920
Well, it's it's mostly I -69 is most of my route

00:38:18.920 --> 00:38:22.739
so it's it's pretty The nice thing about it is

00:38:22.739 --> 00:38:25.400
the biggest city that I go through on the route

00:38:25.400 --> 00:38:28.519
really is like Madisonville, Kentucky, which

00:38:28.519 --> 00:38:31.099
is not that big It's just they've got they've

00:38:31.099 --> 00:38:33.480
got a nice little couple of shopping centers

00:38:33.480 --> 00:38:36.559
and along the interstate there but otherwise

00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:41.199
the traffic is pretty light usually and It's

00:38:41.199 --> 00:38:46.619
more of a rural Highway route and so I I don't

00:38:46.619 --> 00:38:48.679
have to deal with a lot of traffic that way which

00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:53.880
is actually really really nice and so it's This

00:38:53.880 --> 00:38:56.340
has been my first week of doing this and I'm

00:38:56.340 --> 00:38:59.719
getting ready to wrap it up. So it's it's not

00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:03.539
that bad and I Think I can live with it for now

00:39:03.539 --> 00:39:05.719
and I'm just happy to be employed You know, I

00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.800
mean there's there's a lot of folks that are

00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:10.239
still having a lot of troubles with that out

00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:14.210
there but I'm just thankful to the Lord above

00:39:14.210 --> 00:39:16.690
that I can still bring home a paycheck, you know.

00:39:17.610 --> 00:39:20.489
Well, I know that route very well down through

00:39:20.489 --> 00:39:22.809
Madisonville. It's about the size of my hometown.

00:39:24.090 --> 00:39:26.050
And I've been on that road many, many times.

00:39:26.150 --> 00:39:29.929
And you know I -69 is like out my window, right?

00:39:30.190 --> 00:39:34.550
But it's just a lot further north. Yeah, you're

00:39:34.550 --> 00:39:36.550
a lot further north than what I'm going on this

00:39:36.550 --> 00:39:42.320
route. In case anybody has any questions, no,

00:39:42.519 --> 00:39:46.719
I do not have any kind of a ham rig in the big

00:39:46.719 --> 00:39:50.159
truck. Not yet. I'd like to. I carry an HT with

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:52.900
me, and from time to time I've tried to hit local

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:55.800
repeaters if I'm parked somewhere, because of

00:39:55.800 --> 00:39:57.780
course I've got to dial them up. I look on a

00:39:57.780 --> 00:40:00.039
repeater book and find them and dial them up

00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:03.920
on the handy talkie. But other than that, my

00:40:03.920 --> 00:40:07.960
ham radioactivity is very limited with the truck.

00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:11.199
situation right now, but I would love to change

00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:13.940
that at some point. It's just a matter of time

00:40:13.940 --> 00:40:16.639
and money and having the proper amount of both

00:40:16.639 --> 00:40:22.559
in the proper sequence. Yeah, I get that. So

00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:25.260
we're gonna hold you on here for just a minute

00:40:25.260 --> 00:40:31.400
if you can, but before we segue here, as we say

00:40:31.400 --> 00:40:35.860
in these here radio part things, how did you

00:40:35.860 --> 00:40:42.340
go from Calling ice cream to chicken parts. Oh

00:40:42.340 --> 00:40:47.300
Well, that's a good question it's a matter of

00:40:47.300 --> 00:40:51.980
I Had a talk with my driver manager and my terminal

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:55.900
manager the people I deal with My call my call

00:40:55.900 --> 00:40:58.260
driver manager some companies call them dispatchers.

00:40:58.300 --> 00:41:00.179
Okay, he's the person responsible for making

00:41:00.179 --> 00:41:03.420
sure that I Get routed to where I'm gonna go

00:41:03.420 --> 00:41:07.639
and have have miles and everything Well, I was

00:41:07.639 --> 00:41:13.099
kind of unhappy with the situation I was in because

00:41:13.099 --> 00:41:16.400
the miles were up and down and up and down. You

00:41:16.400 --> 00:41:18.699
know, one week I'd make a decent amount of money,

00:41:18.699 --> 00:41:21.639
next week I might have nearly a zero paycheck.

00:41:21.940 --> 00:41:23.920
And it was just because of the way that they

00:41:23.920 --> 00:41:28.219
were running the freight. And there's a lot of

00:41:28.219 --> 00:41:31.280
hurry up and wait when it comes to hauling refrigerated

00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:33.380
loads, which is what I do, the reefer truck,

00:41:34.139 --> 00:41:38.320
reefer trailers. And so I just kind of said,

00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:41.340
hey, can we work something out that gets me home

00:41:41.340 --> 00:41:44.380
a little bit more often, has a more consistent

00:41:44.380 --> 00:41:49.420
method, you know, more consistent mileage and

00:41:49.420 --> 00:41:52.219
et cetera, et cetera. So that's what we wound

00:41:52.219 --> 00:41:54.920
up doing with this. And so I was occasionally

00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:58.199
hauling ice cream loads, but I hauled all kinds

00:41:58.199 --> 00:42:02.800
of things. The timing may be better, but. The

00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:05.739
timing may be better, but that seems like a downgrade

00:42:05.739 --> 00:42:13.019
from ice cream Chicken well Well, hey who doesn't

00:42:13.019 --> 00:42:16.280
well, yeah, obviously Ice cream is wonderful.

00:42:16.400 --> 00:42:18.980
Everybody loves it. You scream ice cream. We

00:42:18.980 --> 00:42:21.380
all scream for ice cream, but back to the matter

00:42:21.380 --> 00:42:26.679
is It's not like I can just open up the doors

00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:28.960
of the trailer and say, hey, I think I'd like

00:42:28.960 --> 00:42:31.699
a drumstick. Doesn't work that way. That's a

00:42:31.699 --> 00:42:34.199
good way to get fired, arrested, charged with

00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:37.440
theft and all kinds of things. Lose your commercial

00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.539
driver's license. It's just not a pretty thing.

00:42:39.840 --> 00:42:44.980
So you don't do that. I really don't care what

00:42:44.980 --> 00:42:48.539
I haul as long as I get that paycheck at the

00:42:48.539 --> 00:42:53.420
end of the week. Doesn't matter to me. Well,

00:42:53.420 --> 00:42:55.579
unbeknownst to you, we have one of your partners

00:42:55.579 --> 00:43:00.619
in crime on the line. I think a little bird told

00:43:00.619 --> 00:43:03.579
me that the technical difficulties have been

00:43:03.579 --> 00:43:07.980
resolved, and Don Holbein's AE -5DW is here.

00:43:08.659 --> 00:43:12.860
I had issues. I was on my Ham Nation wireless

00:43:12.860 --> 00:43:16.320
headphone protocol, and I'm plugged in with the

00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:22.559
Sonys. Couple of glasses of wine and with considering

00:43:22.559 --> 00:43:25.300
the dawn pour that's about four or so Listen,

00:43:25.300 --> 00:43:27.480
I just have a few things that I need to I need

00:43:27.480 --> 00:43:30.400
to I need to address here with the fair young

00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:33.099
The you have a very young Julie the fair young

00:43:33.099 --> 00:43:36.599
Julie. Yes, ma 'am Yes, ma 'am. You had wine.

00:43:37.579 --> 00:43:41.820
Where's mine? Well, listen geography is not our

00:43:41.820 --> 00:43:49.900
friend darling But I do recall a margarita incident.

00:43:50.900 --> 00:43:53.840
But that's not why I called. Listen, I've got

00:43:53.840 --> 00:43:56.559
a couple of questions here. First off, first

00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:58.440
off, listen, if you're looking for a place, do

00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:01.780
what we do. We bought 10 acres. OK. And the only

00:44:01.780 --> 00:44:05.340
the only thing that we cannot do on this on this

00:44:05.340 --> 00:44:09.239
property, you can put as many and as many miles

00:44:09.239 --> 00:44:12.579
of antenna wire and towers as you want on here.

00:44:12.739 --> 00:44:16.219
But we can't raise hogs. So keep that in mind

00:44:16.219 --> 00:44:18.760
when you're looking for property. If the only

00:44:18.760 --> 00:44:21.559
restriction is you can't raise hogs, you can

00:44:21.559 --> 00:44:23.980
put as much ham up as you want to. Now, listen,

00:44:24.019 --> 00:44:26.099
here's the second thing. You were talking about

00:44:26.099 --> 00:44:28.659
these antenna contacts, these satellite contacts.

00:44:29.380 --> 00:44:31.480
I'm already wearing a kilt to the wedding. Yes,

00:44:31.480 --> 00:44:33.380
I'm coming to the wedding. That's confirmed.

00:44:33.679 --> 00:44:37.539
And I'm wearing my kilt. Now, here's the question,

00:44:37.760 --> 00:44:41.539
Neil. If I show up at the door with a handy talkie

00:44:41.539 --> 00:44:43.340
and an elk satellite antenna, will I be turned

00:44:43.340 --> 00:44:48.510
away? You won't be turned away by me. Okay, good.

00:44:48.530 --> 00:44:52.969
That's all I need to know. I told her that this

00:44:52.969 --> 00:44:57.489
back deck on the barn would be great for a satellite.

00:44:58.610 --> 00:45:00.630
See, I think the Elk antenna would be the perfect

00:45:00.630 --> 00:45:05.329
accessory to go along with a kilt. I agree. I

00:45:05.329 --> 00:45:09.650
really do. Hey, uh, John? She's completely speechless

00:45:09.650 --> 00:45:12.829
at this point, which is odd. Yes, yes, yes, Skeeter.

00:45:13.130 --> 00:45:37.659
See, I'm good. If I were to crash the if I were

00:45:37.659 --> 00:45:43.500
to crash the wedding and showed up in overalls

00:45:43.500 --> 00:45:46.119
and playing a banjo, would I be turned away?

00:45:47.579 --> 00:45:49.739
I'm in Oklahoma. I don't care. I'm from Oklahoma,

00:45:49.920 --> 00:45:52.739
dude. I don't care what you're so up in. You'd

00:45:52.739 --> 00:45:53.340
have to talk to Julie. Well, that's good, because

00:45:53.340 --> 00:45:57.170
I can't play the banjo anyway. You know, listen,

00:45:57.389 --> 00:45:59.170
the definition of perfect pitch, by the way,

00:45:59.170 --> 00:46:01.409
and I realize this is off -subject, the definition

00:46:01.409 --> 00:46:04.230
of perfect pitch is standing 35 feet away from

00:46:04.230 --> 00:46:06.789
an outhouse, throwing a banjo at it, and getting

00:46:06.789 --> 00:46:08.829
it in the hole on the first try. That's perfect

00:46:08.829 --> 00:46:12.590
pitch. And hitting an accordion on the way through.

00:46:12.809 --> 00:46:17.550
But I want to tell you, anyway, well, Don, it's

00:46:17.550 --> 00:46:21.550
good to visit with you, and I guess we've kind

00:46:21.550 --> 00:46:24.880
of taken over Neil's show here. probably not

00:46:24.880 --> 00:46:27.960
fair to him. We should probably get our own show.

00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:34.039
Is the world ready for that? No! I don't know,

00:46:34.420 --> 00:46:39.800
but it could be fun. In all seriousness, Don

00:46:39.800 --> 00:46:44.360
is a wonderful friend and we had a good time

00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:47.119
last year in Huntsville. In fact, that's where

00:46:47.119 --> 00:46:49.679
I got to actually meet up with Neil and Julie

00:46:49.679 --> 00:46:52.260
in person for the very first time. We all had

00:46:52.260 --> 00:46:54.880
a wonderful time. Unfortunately, that time isn't

00:46:54.880 --> 00:46:58.760
gonna happen this year, which really sucks. But

00:46:58.760 --> 00:47:04.139
just like to say, I managed to get a report in

00:47:04.139 --> 00:47:06.239
last week and I'm also in this week's edition

00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.019
of Newsline, so it's kind of good to be back.

00:47:08.579 --> 00:47:10.840
I've got, you guys aren't gonna believe this,

00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:15.119
I actually brought my PR30 out with me on this

00:47:15.119 --> 00:47:18.059
run. And I've got a little interface and a way

00:47:18.059 --> 00:47:22.619
to put it all through my iPad. So if Karen, Eve

00:47:22.619 --> 00:47:25.380
Marie, Katie 5, GUT, or no, I've got her call.

00:47:25.699 --> 00:47:28.420
That's not her call. What's her call? Katie 2.

00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.659
Katie 2. Katie 2, GUT. I had most of it right.

00:47:34.099 --> 00:47:36.780
She sends something out for me to do a report.

00:47:36.820 --> 00:47:40.119
I can now manage to do that even if I'm on the

00:47:40.119 --> 00:47:42.360
road. So if you hear a little... Motor noise

00:47:42.360 --> 00:47:44.760
rumble underneath my reports, please excuse that

00:47:44.760 --> 00:47:46.519
because it might mean the engines idling so that

00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:49.599
I can keep the air conditioning running but I

00:47:49.599 --> 00:47:53.239
am about a mile or so from my Destination which

00:47:53.239 --> 00:47:55.099
means I'm going to have to jump out and switch

00:47:55.099 --> 00:47:57.619
trailers and do all kinds of truck drivey truck

00:47:57.619 --> 00:48:02.199
drivey type stuff so You all carry on and thanks

00:48:02.199 --> 00:48:05.039
for letting me get in Neil and I'll try to I'll

00:48:05.039 --> 00:48:08.590
try to chime in if you want me to from time to

00:48:08.590 --> 00:48:13.570
time. Otherwise, 7 -3 to everybody and have a

00:48:13.570 --> 00:48:15.969
great 4th of July holiday. God bless America.

00:48:16.909 --> 00:48:35.050
I'll hang up and listen off the air. would not

00:48:35.050 --> 00:48:37.389
be my first encounter of you with the kilt because

00:48:37.389 --> 00:48:40.190
if I remember correctly before I'd even met you

00:48:40.190 --> 00:48:44.010
I was told that I had to cut out a life -size

00:48:44.010 --> 00:48:49.469
you a fix you to poster board and then cut out

00:48:49.469 --> 00:48:51.789
a life -size you and I remember turning around

00:48:51.789 --> 00:48:55.449
a kilt for that yeah I still have the scars from

00:48:55.449 --> 00:48:58.730
that by the way listen that kit that that life

00:48:58.730 --> 00:49:01.369
-size cutout well it's it's actually like 75

00:49:01.369 --> 00:49:06.110
like 85 % But it is in my office at I heart New

00:49:06.110 --> 00:49:09.610
Orleans right next to a life -size cutout of

00:49:09.610 --> 00:49:12.610
oh God, I've just blanked on her name the singer

00:49:12.610 --> 00:49:19.230
with Sugarland Jennifer Nettles So that that

00:49:19.230 --> 00:49:20.949
kind of is a good company. However, I haven't

00:49:20.949 --> 00:49:22.429
been in the office in three months I know we're

00:49:22.429 --> 00:49:24.130

00:49:26.949 --> 00:49:28.650
each other. My wife and I will have been married

36 years in September and I am thrilled that

00:49:33.550 --> 00:49:38.570
the two of us will be able to share The day that

you guys become husband and wife next weekend

00:49:42.639 --> 00:49:44.800
because we're coming and I wasn't sure it was

00:49:44.800 --> 00:49:46.699
going to happen. My wife said, you know what?

00:49:47.500 --> 00:49:50.039
We got the time and right now we have the money.

00:49:50.079 --> 00:49:53.380

meet my wife of almost 36 years. And I just wish

00:50:01.900 --> 00:50:04.480
that you guys have a fraction of the happiness

00:50:04.480 --> 00:50:08.659
that we've had. It's not been easy. It never

00:50:08.659 --> 00:50:11.699
is easy, but you know what? The result is worth

00:50:11.699 --> 00:50:15.539
the struggle. So bless you too. That's basically

00:50:15.539 --> 00:50:18.599
all I have to say. Thank you, Don. It made my

00:50:18.599 --> 00:50:20.420
day this week when I found out that you guys

00:50:20.420 --> 00:50:23.820
were coming. It was so exciting. Nice surprise.

00:50:24.300 --> 00:50:26.820
Well, mine too. Mine too. And I love you guys,

00:50:26.820 --> 00:50:30.619
and I can't wait to see you. All right. All right,

00:50:30.679 --> 00:50:33.219
Don. Thanks for calling, and we'll see you next

00:50:33.219 --> 00:50:36.820
week. Looking forward to it. All right. Thanks

00:50:36.820 --> 00:50:40.099
so much. Oh my goodness, the phone's still ringing

00:50:40.099 --> 00:50:42.139
and we haven't got to the comments, we haven't

00:50:42.139 --> 00:50:43.960
got to the tweets, we haven't even got to the

00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.599
text. So all right, let's do one more call here.

00:50:46.760 --> 00:50:50.119
Hello, welcome to HamTalk Live. Thanks for the

00:50:50.119 --> 00:50:54.119
welcome. This is KD2GUT. I have been enjoying

00:50:54.119 --> 00:50:59.019
this 21st century version of Burns and Allen.

00:51:01.990 --> 00:51:05.449
The two of you need your own radio show. Oh,

00:51:05.449 --> 00:51:09.849
wait a minute Wait a minute. We have one of those

00:51:09.849 --> 00:51:13.010
And skater was getting off -topic I'm like, wait

00:51:13.010 --> 00:51:16.530
a minute the whole show is off -topic. Oh Life

00:51:16.530 --> 00:51:21.670
is off -topic I'm telling by the way, I wanted

00:51:21.670 --> 00:51:24.510
to give you a tip Julie cover your ears. I hear

00:51:24.510 --> 00:51:28.690
there'll be a satellite over the barn on July

00:51:28.690 --> 00:51:31.840
oh right about the time you'll be Exchanging

00:51:31.840 --> 00:51:34.179
vows. I think there's gonna be a satellite pass.

00:51:34.739 --> 00:51:39.039
No, no Joking joking. It's a joke. Wait a minute.

00:51:39.039 --> 00:51:42.900
It's 430. That's not the right time Exactly.

00:51:42.920 --> 00:51:51.079
It's a joke I'm so happy for you guys So happy

00:51:51.079 --> 00:51:55.139
for you guys Julie I I want to get some advice

00:51:55.139 --> 00:51:59.980
for you You work through the pileup to get Neil

00:52:00.429 --> 00:52:04.349
Right? You got through the pile -up. You're the

00:52:04.349 --> 00:52:08.110
one with the valid contact. And that's happening

00:52:08.110 --> 00:52:12.849
next week. When the station goes on the air and

00:52:12.849 --> 00:52:15.389
they've got the special event happening, any

00:52:15.389 --> 00:52:19.030
tips on how to work through the pile -up and

00:52:19.030 --> 00:52:35.900
make a contact with N4J? Well... Yeah. I have

00:52:35.900 --> 00:52:39.840
suffered through the time that there probably

00:52:39.840 --> 00:52:44.800
will be such a thing because Neil is loved. He

00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:49.000
is well loved by many and I am so grateful that

00:52:49.000 --> 00:52:50.960
the people that love him and want to support

00:52:50.960 --> 00:52:54.760
him have also embraced me. Well you both, you

00:52:54.760 --> 00:52:58.380
both are loved. You both are loved. And you know

00:52:58.380 --> 00:53:05.590
that. You're a part of our family already. So

00:53:05.590 --> 00:53:10.690
I guess I'll just trust to the fates that I can

00:53:10.690 --> 00:53:13.190
land a good contact. I think it's gonna happen.

00:53:13.690 --> 00:53:16.250
I think it's gonna happen. I think your day will

00:53:16.250 --> 00:53:22.369
be blessed. I think it already is. Well, you

00:53:22.369 --> 00:53:24.889
know what Neil was saying, you did everything

00:53:24.889 --> 00:53:28.750
twice or you had to do everything twice. So maybe

00:53:28.750 --> 00:53:33.590
next year in Dayton, you'll exchange your vows.

00:53:33.739 --> 00:53:39.079
with all of us present, for those of us who do

00:53:39.079 --> 00:53:44.500
it twice. Twice is good. Honestly, Dane has a

00:53:44.500 --> 00:53:49.380
bad track record with me. Oh. Like, I've had

00:53:49.380 --> 00:53:52.639
a bad track record. I was denied entry last year,

00:53:53.320 --> 00:53:57.380
um, and I, like, I didn't even want in. I just

00:53:57.380 --> 00:54:00.960
was with Neil, but whatever. And then the year

00:54:00.960 --> 00:54:03.519
before, I had a family emergency during Dayton.

00:54:03.780 --> 00:54:06.099
So Dayton's not always kind, so I'll have to

00:54:06.099 --> 00:54:09.500
be careful with that. Oh, I think we're going

00:54:09.500 --> 00:54:13.420
to change the karma. We're going to change the

00:54:13.420 --> 00:54:19.579
karma. OK. Now you'll be there as Mrs. WB9VPG

00:54:19.579 --> 00:54:23.460
or Mrs. Neil Rapp. It's going to be different.

00:54:23.460 --> 00:54:26.719
Sounds good. It's going to be great. I'm glad

00:54:26.719 --> 00:54:29.099
I got through tonight, by the way. I'm really

00:54:29.099 --> 00:54:32.500
excited for you guys, and the night would not

00:54:32.500 --> 00:54:36.659
have been complete. We'll miss you so much at

00:54:36.659 --> 00:54:39.820
the wedding, but... Yeah, I wish we could do

00:54:39.820 --> 00:54:45.639
it. I wish circumstances were such. I'm glad

00:54:45.639 --> 00:54:48.159
you guys are finally getting married after all

00:54:48.159 --> 00:54:52.800
the hassle of the past few months, but I'll be

00:54:52.800 --> 00:55:00.199
watching. I'll be live streaming Well, yeah,

00:55:00.199 --> 00:55:05.920
I bought special pajamas to wear to the ceremony

00:55:05.920 --> 00:55:12.340
And I'll be wearing a party hat and you'll have

00:55:12.340 --> 00:55:16.280
to trust me on this Now I'm gonna give you the

00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:21.760
tip Julie should have given you on how to contact

00:55:21.760 --> 00:55:27.989
the Look at the groom on n4j. Thank Thursday

00:55:27.989 --> 00:55:35.570
Think that I will because that I will The n4j

00:55:35.570 --> 00:55:38.389
special event operation is going to take place

00:55:38.389 --> 00:55:44.489
whenever it is safe to do so And with Julie around

00:55:44.489 --> 00:55:48.889
I think Thursday is probably the safest option

00:55:52.400 --> 00:55:55.199
Now nobody else is hearing this right? This is

00:55:55.199 --> 00:56:00.619

00:58:00.289 --> 00:58:08.559

gonna take one more call and Then I see who this

00:58:24.539 --> 00:58:28.559
is. So I'm gonna break the rule We're gonna have

00:58:28.559 --> 00:58:29.920
to do this quick though because we're already

00:58:29.920 --> 00:58:31.619
15 minutes over and I haven't even got through

00:58:31.619 --> 00:58:37.579
the treats yet But good evening Scott Cole kb9

00:58:37.579 --> 00:58:41.820
amm neil greetings julie so glad to hear you

00:58:41.820 --> 00:58:45.199
on the air even if it is uh uh through the podcast

00:58:45.199 --> 00:58:47.820
i'll make it brief because i know you are running

00:58:47.820 --> 00:58:51.300
out of time julie you made a good choice in picking

00:58:51.300 --> 00:58:54.219
a ham radio operator to share your life with

00:58:54.219 --> 00:58:57.119
you never have to worry about him going to the

00:58:57.119 --> 00:59:00.079
bars because he'll play on the radios you never

00:59:00.079 --> 00:59:02.619
have to worry about him gambling at the racetrack

00:59:02.719 --> 00:59:04.300
because he's going to spend all of his money

00:59:04.300 --> 00:59:07.380
on radios. You're going to have a wonderful life

00:59:07.380 --> 00:59:11.760
together. I'm really hoping that. Don't laugh

00:59:11.760 --> 00:59:14.420
so hard. You know I'm right. All the operators

00:59:14.420 --> 00:59:19.039
out there know I'm right. I just, my one question

00:59:19.039 --> 00:59:22.340
to you. You're very welcome. My one question

00:59:22.340 --> 00:59:24.119
is what kind of de -expedition are you having

00:59:24.119 --> 00:59:32.630
for your honeymoon? Excuse me? Oh, you didn't

00:59:32.630 --> 00:59:34.809
tell her. And that was not an excuse me because

00:59:34.809 --> 00:59:36.929
I didn't hear you. I heard you loud and clear.

00:59:37.030 --> 00:59:38.969
It was an excuse me of you better change your

00:59:38.969 --> 00:59:45.610
tone. I was just kidding. Honest, honest. I hope

00:59:45.610 --> 00:59:51.230
you guys have a really, really wonderful. Our

00:59:51.230 --> 00:59:54.849
original hunt was supposed to be in Jamaica and

00:59:54.849 --> 01:00:00.460
he actually applied to in Jamaica so that he

01:00:00.460 --> 01:00:02.659
could operate while we were there. And I agreed

01:00:02.659 --> 01:00:05.599
to that. But that has been canceled, and now

01:00:05.599 --> 01:00:07.579
we're just going away for just a couple of days.

01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:10.019
So there will be no ham radio involved except

01:00:10.019 --> 01:00:14.059
for during drive time. Well, I'm glad that you're

01:00:14.059 --> 01:00:15.719
letting them do that during drive time because

01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:18.000
it's still a fun way to pass the time driving.

01:00:18.840 --> 01:00:24.019
And I think in time, You're going to probably

01:00:24.019 --> 01:00:26.000
work on getting your license and I look forward

01:00:26.000 --> 01:00:27.619
to that day, but we're not going to rush you

01:00:27.619 --> 01:00:30.820
on it. Uh, I hope everything goes smoothly for

01:00:30.820 --> 01:00:32.880
the next couple of weeks here that there's no

01:00:32.880 --> 01:00:37.599
other problems that creep up. Um, chances are

01:00:37.599 --> 01:00:39.480
I'm not going to be able to make it to the wedding,

01:00:39.619 --> 01:00:42.199
but it's not totally ruled out as of this point

01:00:42.199 --> 01:00:44.420
in time. And now that I hear that Don's going

01:00:44.420 --> 01:00:46.239
to be there and it's killed, I really have a

01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:49.539
reason to try and be there. I wish I had Mike

01:00:49.539 --> 01:00:52.739
Hilt, but they're still working on it. Omar the

01:00:52.739 --> 01:00:55.920
tent maker is still working on it. Maybe one

01:00:55.920 --> 01:01:10.960
day. Well, I will be thinking about you if I

01:01:10.960 --> 01:01:13.420
don't make it there and we'll probably try and

01:01:13.420 --> 01:01:17.400
catch the... the internet video then and we'll

01:01:17.400 --> 01:01:20.199
see what happens. I still have a couple things

01:01:20.199 --> 01:01:23.559
going on locally here with my eye doctor and

01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:25.159
hopefully I'm going to get that squared away

01:01:25.159 --> 01:01:27.260
and then hopefully things will get back to normal

01:01:27.260 --> 01:01:31.500
for us. So anyway, best wishes, Godspeed to both

01:01:31.500 --> 01:01:37.559
of you, enjoy and be blessed and 73. Thank you,

01:01:37.739 --> 01:01:40.639

01:01:44.110 --> 01:01:47.289
outside with the phone. Okay, 73 guys, take care.

else do we have here on Twitter? Trying to move

01:06:13.030 --> 01:06:16.710
through these as quick as I can. CarlKitty9HQT

the wedding, so he's not gonna be around. And

01:06:23.929 --> 01:06:29.570
let's see, that was Dawn. And Karen Eve Murray

01:06:29.570 --> 01:06:33.880
says, what grid square is the barn? Um, she heard

01:06:33.880 --> 01:06:35.400
there might be a satellite in the neighborhood

01:06:35.400 --> 01:06:37.699
on the big day. Yeah, that's echo Mike seven

01:06:37.699 --> 01:06:41.400

and I commend you both for all your work as educators.

01:06:56.300 --> 01:06:59.800
Brett, W -I -7 -B -G says, Neil, perhaps you

01:06:59.800 --> 01:07:01.960
should get a house with an outbuilding which

01:07:01.960 --> 01:07:09.940
can literally be your shack. Carl also says,

01:07:09.940 --> 01:07:16.480
did you get a spotted cow for the wedding? Do

01:07:16.480 --> 01:07:17.840
we have a spotted cow for the wedding? Why a

01:07:17.840 --> 01:07:24.360
spotted cow? I don't know. I don't know. I don't

01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:30.889
know. We have a Don. Yeah, we have a Don. Scott

01:07:30.889 --> 01:07:33.170
says, Julie, glad you finally got on the show.

01:07:33.329 --> 01:07:36.449
What took Neil so long to have you on? Julie,

01:07:36.489 --> 01:07:38.690
what do you like most about Neil, his affection

01:07:38.690 --> 01:07:43.250
for reruns of WKRP in Cincinnati, the Voice of

01:07:43.250 --> 01:07:46.250
America museum, or his secret desire to do a

01:07:46.250 --> 01:07:57.670
talk radio show? Oh, gosh. You know what? I love

01:07:57.670 --> 01:08:00.809
that he loves people, and so anything that connects

01:08:00.809 --> 01:08:04.429
him with other people, I think that's important.

01:08:06.389 --> 01:08:14.670
So WKRP can go, but anyone else is good. Oh my

01:08:14.670 --> 01:08:19.569
goodness. Oh my goodness. Alright, let's see.

01:08:19.649 --> 01:08:23.500
Pull it around. Oh, go ahead. Which is sad because

01:08:23.500 --> 01:08:25.119
my biggest complaint is that you never watch

01:08:25.119 --> 01:08:27.739
TV with me But so that could be a way to watch

01:08:27.739 --> 01:08:32.859
TV, but like yeah not feeling good Paul Brown

What would you recommend for the matching stubs?

01:09:00.069 --> 01:09:04.189

01:09:04.189 --> 01:09:06.390

story and Yeah, we already did talked about dawn

01:09:57.939 --> 01:10:01.220

01:10:03.479 --> 01:10:05.600

in your head all night mentally shelve it so

01:10:11.130 --> 01:10:14.810
There you go. Lisa, now you met Lisa out in Connecticut.

01:10:15.789 --> 01:10:17.909
Lisa says, if you have the app for 7 -Eleven,

01:10:17.930 --> 01:10:20.789
you can get a free Slurpee any day during the

01:10:20.789 --> 01:10:24.949
month. So maybe we need to go find a 7 -Eleven

01:10:24.949 --> 01:10:28.529
on the honeymoon. Right, that's still the problem.

01:10:28.869 --> 01:10:32.510
We don't have any 7 -Elevens around here. I had

01:10:32.510 --> 01:10:35.489
my first Slurpee experience with Lisa last year

01:10:35.489 --> 01:10:37.449
and I'm so grateful for that. That was a fun

01:10:37.449 --> 01:10:42.779
memory. Yeah, it was. It was. We got free Slurpees.

01:10:44.020 --> 01:10:46.520

01:10:46.779 --> 01:10:50.579

01:10:52.539 --> 01:10:54.420
who's the head of the household. Sorry, Neil.

01:10:54.680 --> 01:11:01.579
Not you. God bless both of you. Oh, Dawn said,

01:11:01.699 --> 01:11:04.479
I'll allow it. This can't be good. And yeah,

01:11:04.539 --> 01:11:08.630
Jill says, yeah, she just burned you. Okay. Yes,

01:11:08.729 --> 01:11:10.949

01:11:39.329 --> 01:11:44.810
Julie stand your ground girl and John w4usf says

01:11:44.810 --> 01:11:47.850
don't leave Bloomington closest city to heaven

01:11:47.850 --> 01:11:54.970
John I I'm not sure that's gonna go over I Don't

01:11:54.970 --> 01:12:01.590
know Troy w9kvr says bear in mind. I'm not living

01:12:01.590 --> 01:12:04.329
in cave country. Sometimes you have to take one

01:12:04.329 --> 01:12:09.770
for the team Well, there you go. All right, let's

01:12:09.770 --> 01:12:14.770
see. What else do we have here? ChrisAA4CB says,

01:12:15.229 --> 01:12:18.569
I was on my second date and pulled into a Walmart

01:12:18.569 --> 01:12:23.869
lot and showed her an SO50 satellite pass. And

01:12:23.869 --> 01:12:26.970
yes, we're still together because she passed

01:12:26.970 --> 01:12:31.329
the I'm a nerd test. So what do you think of

01:12:31.329 --> 01:12:38.779
that one? I'm passing the I'm a nerd test right

01:12:38.779 --> 01:12:43.800
now. People are asking me questions and I don't

01:12:43.800 --> 01:12:47.260
know anything, but as long as you're happy, I'm

01:12:47.260 --> 01:12:50.880
happy, honey. I don't know what's going on with

01:12:50.880 --> 01:12:54.579
ham radio stuff. It's over my head. Maybe if

01:12:54.579 --> 01:12:56.439
you put it in Spanish, it would make more sense

01:12:56.439 --> 01:13:02.060
to me. But I figure if a woman sticks with a

01:13:02.060 --> 01:13:04.180
man after she finds out that he's a ham, she's

01:13:04.180 --> 01:13:08.020
a good woman. Cuz there's a whole lot that comes

01:13:08.020 --> 01:13:14.819
with that. Yeah. Yeah Okay, John says is the

01:13:14.819 --> 01:13:20.039
minister a ham operator this is a must oh We

01:13:20.039 --> 01:13:23.220

01:13:27.659 --> 01:13:30.760
She will take care of us take care of that for

01:13:30.760 --> 01:13:35.020

The link is there. So there you go. Okay. All

01:14:13.140 --> 01:14:16.300
right. And it looks like we finally made it through

01:14:16.300 --> 01:14:19.560
all of that and we're only a half hour over.

01:14:20.739 --> 01:14:26.960
So Julie, this is the part where, where we wrap

01:14:26.960 --> 01:14:31.340
up the show. So I'm going to be a wrap next time

01:14:31.340 --> 01:14:33.300

01:14:33.720 --> 01:14:39.460
So So so this is where Skeeter says just listen

to the man song by Sean Maury and you'll be fine.

01:14:41.779 --> 01:14:46.479
Yes, I know that song very well. So all right.

01:14:46.659 --> 01:14:51.359
Let me let me check. Make sure we got everything

01:14:51.359 --> 01:14:55.500
and OK, I think we're through everything. So

01:14:55.500 --> 01:14:58.220
we need to wrap this up. So this is the part

01:14:58.220 --> 01:15:04.979
of the show when when I give my my guest a chance

01:15:04.979 --> 01:15:10.859
at some final words, so here you go. It's your

01:15:10.859 --> 01:15:13.600
turn. I am supposed to have final words? Yes.

01:15:14.060 --> 01:15:15.420
So these are your closing comments. So here are

01:15:15.420 --> 01:15:19.840
my final words. We are almost down to eight days

01:15:19.840 --> 01:15:23.300
and we will be married and praise the Lord because

01:15:23.300 --> 01:15:27.359

this morning for not doing my UTC conversion.

01:16:10.180 --> 01:16:14.899
So, okay. So, so four 30 plus 12 would be 16

01:16:14.899 --> 01:16:20.039
