I 00:07:01.029 --> 00:07:03.750 miss Regis. But, uh, who bailed out on you this 00:07:03.750 --> 00:07:07.230 week? Nobody bailed out on me this week. We scheduled 00:07:07.230 --> 00:07:11.949 this weeks ahead. I showered, I shaved, and I 00:07:11.949 --> 00:07:14.569 forgot this was not a TV show. I thought the 00:07:14.569 --> 00:07:17.230 ladies who listen and view your program would 00:07:17.230 --> 00:07:23.490 enjoy this. Sadly, we're audio guys. I have the 00:07:23.490 --> 00:07:27.910 face for radio, so. I do too. How have you been? 00:07:28.189 --> 00:07:31.230 Well, I've been good. I've been busy. You're 00:07:31.230 --> 00:07:37.110 always so busy. I've spent some time traveling 00:07:37.110 --> 00:07:42.100 this summer. Then the old the old job thing came 00:07:42.100 --> 00:07:45.899 back it's like, you know, they they want These 00:07:45.899 --> 00:07:49.120 kids to be taught things, you know, so you have 00:07:49.120 --> 00:07:53.300 to go back to work and teach and Trying to take 00:07:53.300 --> 00:07:58.180 care of some family Stuff so the yeah, you are 00:07:58.180 --> 00:08:04.100 Hey Neil is when you learn the periodic table 00:08:04.509 --> 00:08:07.029 Is that sort of like the code? I mean, once you 00:08:07.029 --> 00:08:09.110 have it, you have it, or do you have to kind 00:08:09.110 --> 00:08:11.569 of freshen up? Or you just, you know what I'm 00:08:11.569 --> 00:08:13.730 saying? Because it seems to me like you look 00:08:13.730 --> 00:08:17.550 at that and you're like, ugh, that chart, this 00:08:17.550 --> 00:08:20.990 thing, and zinc, you know? Is it something that 00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:23.149 just stays with you or because you do it all 00:08:23.149 --> 00:08:26.129 the time like code? Yeah, it's something that 00:08:26.129 --> 00:08:28.870 I use every day and so I've got to the point 00:08:28.870 --> 00:08:32.309 where, you know, I've got half the numbers memorized 00:08:32.309 --> 00:08:36.659 by now. It's kind of the point where I don't 00:08:36.659 --> 00:08:42.379 even look at a periodic table anymore. I just 00:08:42.379 --> 00:08:48.200 do it in my head, but that's after 25 years of 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.879 doing that. Do you have a favorite? Do I have 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:58.360 a favorite element? Yeah. Oh, geez. What excites 00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.620 you to talk about when there's a... When that 00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:03.580 comes up in the next chapter, you're like, yeah, 00:09:03.580 --> 00:09:05.139 this is going to be cool. Let me show you why 00:09:05.139 --> 00:09:11.539 this is cool. I kind of like relating it to real 00:09:11.539 --> 00:09:17.559 life stuff. So talking about talking about cars, 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:25.860 like why is your battery dead? Or, um, the other 00:09:25.860 --> 00:09:29.200 day I was talking about electron orbitals and 00:09:29.200 --> 00:09:32.440 how electrons were not evenly distributed and 00:09:32.440 --> 00:09:36.519 it was kind of like a tire that wasn't balanced. 00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:41.659 That it just wobbles back and forth and so I 00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:46.419 kind of like tying in everyday stuff and that's 00:09:46.419 --> 00:09:48.840 something that comes with time because when I 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.139 got out of school I knew nothing about that. 00:09:52.519 --> 00:09:57.789 I knew the equations, I knew the math. But I 00:09:57.789 --> 00:10:03.009 didn't really tie it to everyday life. And then, 00:10:03.009 --> 00:10:04.649 you know, after I go through this, it's like, 00:10:04.690 --> 00:10:09.049 oh, this is chemistry. I think it's smart because 00:10:09.049 --> 00:10:11.230 especially at that age, these kids that you're 00:10:11.230 --> 00:10:13.509 teaching, they haven't really done much with 00:10:13.509 --> 00:10:15.090 their lives yet. You know, they have their whole 00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:17.429 lives ahead of them. So breaking it and tying 00:10:17.429 --> 00:10:19.990 it into something else is that's important. That's 00:10:19.990 --> 00:10:23.529 just good. I hate that. I hate that you're so 00:10:23.529 --> 00:10:31.549 smart. Well... Well, what else is going on with 00:10:31.549 --> 00:10:34.850 you? Well... See, this is what we did for 45 00:10:34.850 --> 00:10:38.769 minutes before the show. Exactly, exactly. That's 00:10:38.769 --> 00:10:42.129 what we were doing. Well, we were talking about 00:10:42.129 --> 00:10:48.230 radios and... In fact, I didn't tell you this 00:10:48.230 --> 00:10:54.309 part. I ordered a new antenna set up for school 00:10:54.309 --> 00:10:59.399 today. We're trying to find a way to get our 00:10:59.399 --> 00:11:04.080 dipoles to actually work up on the roof. The 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:08.519 penthouse is made out of metal. And so when we 00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:11.500 tie them off from even hanging from the tower 00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:14.759 and try to bring the legs down, the metal in 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.379 the roof of the penthouse and the metal walls 00:11:17.379 --> 00:11:22.000 on the side of the penthouse just mess everything 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:29.029 up. Today I ordered a new tripod that we're going 00:11:29.029 --> 00:11:33.950 to try to put on the roof without screwing it 00:11:33.950 --> 00:11:38.289 down, which is going to be interesting. But just 00:11:38.289 --> 00:11:41.690 to support the dipole, but get it far enough 00:11:41.690 --> 00:11:45.070 away from the building. So maybe that'll cure 00:11:45.070 --> 00:11:47.409 it. We've tried like two or three different things 00:11:47.409 --> 00:11:51.929 and all of them didn't work. So it's fine as 00:11:51.929 --> 00:11:56.049 long as the stepper works. Yeah, I mean this 00:11:56.049 --> 00:11:59.850 ever that goes down I need a backup and we've 00:11:59.850 --> 00:12:03.269 had to use the backup once or twice before and 00:12:03.269 --> 00:12:05.690 we also have to have something for 75 meters 00:12:05.690 --> 00:12:10.169 because The the stepper will handle 40, but it 00:12:10.169 --> 00:12:14.850 won't handle 75 or 80 and So we got to have something 00:12:14.850 --> 00:12:18.549 for that. So We're gonna we're gonna try to throw 00:12:18.549 --> 00:12:20.289 something together here in the next couple of 00:12:20.289 --> 00:12:23.029 weeks before school club roundup gets going and 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:28.460 doing that so the other thing and here comes 00:12:28.460 --> 00:12:34.379 the segue okay the other reason we went with 00:12:34.379 --> 00:12:38.299 this tripod idea is so that if we wanted to take 00:12:38.299 --> 00:12:42.299 our station out in the middle of nowhere and 00:12:42.299 --> 00:12:46.320 do a special event or do the Indiana Q So party 00:12:46.320 --> 00:12:50.279 or or do a demonstration station that you know 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.149 during lunch or something out front where we 00:12:53.149 --> 00:12:57.169 couldn't do it up in the ham shack. We'd have 00:12:57.169 --> 00:13:03.950 a way to do that. Which brings us to fallout 00:13:03.950 --> 00:13:08.870 three. It sounds like a, it sounds like a video 00:13:08.870 --> 00:13:13.409 game. It's fallout three. Yeah. All the crap 00:13:13.409 --> 00:13:15.590 we didn't get right in the first two editions. 00:13:15.669 --> 00:13:21.600 Try it now. So tell us about Fallout 3, it's 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:24.779 a chance to do what we were just talking about. 00:13:24.840 --> 00:13:29.320 Take your antenna and set it up and get out there 00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:32.039 and enjoy the weather. Tell us about it. Yeah, 00:13:32.039 --> 00:13:34.919 man. You know, a lot of people, and I first, 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:38.000 you know, it's not an original idea. Getting 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:40.399 out and getting portable is just a great thing. 00:13:40.440 --> 00:13:43.840 I remember when I first got on HF and I put together 00:13:43.840 --> 00:13:47.539 a portable station and I put it together and 00:13:47.539 --> 00:13:50.320 I went out on field day. And I got clobbered 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:52.960 and I love field day. I think it's a wonderful 00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:55.360 thing. It's a really important and probably the 00:13:55.360 --> 00:14:00.399 biggest Special event each year and I think winter 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:02.580 field day is really cool too. I mean for the 00:14:02.580 --> 00:14:07.039 die -hard so for new hams Getting out there and 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:09.620 working on field day is a blast but I I could 00:14:09.620 --> 00:14:11.759 tell right away I couldn't hold a frequency and 00:14:11.759 --> 00:14:13.440 I was thinking what what could we do because 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:16.000 I was running low power my I'm sure my antenna 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.960 was not efficient Probably putting out 80 88 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.080 or 89 watts or something and you just couldn't 00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:25.820 compete with the big guns Who were you know set 00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:28.379 up you could work then but as for holding a frequency 00:14:28.379 --> 00:14:31.200 I had a hard time that particular weekend and 00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:35.139 so I was thinking what could we do and To level 00:14:35.139 --> 00:14:38.139 the playing field somewhat you can't completely 00:14:38.139 --> 00:14:41.320 level it But it just kind of grew out of that 00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:43.820 another opportunity away from field day to get 00:14:43.820 --> 00:14:46.460 out and be portable and now we've got park programs 00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:50.019 that are really popular and successful. And I 00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:52.360 think this sort of dovetails into those things 00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.360 where you can get out there. If you have a portable 00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.019 station, great. Let's get out there before it 00:14:57.019 --> 00:15:00.240 gets ice cold. Some places are already very cold. 00:15:00.860 --> 00:15:02.659 The Pacific Northwest, you know, they're seeing 00:15:02.659 --> 00:15:05.399 really cold temperatures in other places. So 00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:07.399 it's a chance for us to take that antenna we've 00:15:07.399 --> 00:15:10.460 been working on. And on field day, another thing 00:15:10.460 --> 00:15:13.059 about field day is if you're part of a club, 00:15:13.839 --> 00:15:16.879 You may be the guy running code from noon to 00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.399 two o 'clock and you know, or maybe you're getting 00:15:19.399 --> 00:15:22.519 the potato gun and zoom You're gonna hang the 00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:24.159 antenna and then you're cool for the rest of 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:25.700 the day, you know But maybe you've been working 00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:28.379 on something on your own This is one of those 00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:30.879 opportunities to kind of get out there and try 00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:33.659 some things and then listen for a community Well 00:15:33.659 --> 00:15:36.279 of which you're part of and I'm proud of that 00:15:36.279 --> 00:15:38.100 I can get out there and get on the air and listen 00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:40.799 for other people who are doing it as well. So 00:15:40.889 --> 00:15:43.190 For me, it's kind of that last hurrah before 00:15:43.190 --> 00:15:46.710 things get really cold and I can put it on my 00:15:46.710 --> 00:15:50.690 schedule and I'll do it anytime, any band, any 00:15:50.690 --> 00:15:53.429 mode you want to work on and there's really no 00:15:53.429 --> 00:15:56.990 rules. Just get on the air and have fun and it's 00:15:56.990 --> 00:15:59.570 one of those deals and as an incentive, you know, 00:15:59.570 --> 00:16:01.750 we've got some sponsored prizes to give away. 00:16:01.870 --> 00:16:04.929 I see that does well for HamFest. When people 00:16:04.929 --> 00:16:06.929 go to a HamFest, they throw their ticket in the 00:16:06.929 --> 00:16:09.379 barrel and it's It's an incentive to come and 00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:12.399 hang out and do some stuff. So I put together 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.679 a group of prizes too, but it's not a contest. 00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:18.379 I know you like the contesting element, but this 00:16:18.379 --> 00:16:20.779 is a little bit more casual, but we can put it, 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:25.059 put it in a space where you schedule it in and 00:16:25.059 --> 00:16:28.379 get on when you can. So October 12th through 00:16:28.379 --> 00:16:31.139 the 14th. That's when we're going to hit it again, 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:34.960 Neil. Okay. Well, you know, there's, there's 00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:38.360 a lot of opportunities there. like you said, 00:16:38.399 --> 00:16:40.940 to get on the air yourself, try some things out 00:16:40.940 --> 00:16:44.100 and, and you know, the, the speaking of field 00:16:44.100 --> 00:16:49.559 day, there's one question that, that doesn't 00:16:49.559 --> 00:16:53.500 always work during field day. Do you know what 00:16:53.500 --> 00:16:56.580 that question is? I would say is the frequency 00:16:56.580 --> 00:17:00.649 in use. Yes, that's it. That is it. Is the frequency 00:17:00.649 --> 00:17:05.369 in use? Of course it is. It's so exciting. Everything 00:17:05.369 --> 00:17:09.369 is so close together. It's really exciting. You 00:17:09.369 --> 00:17:11.049 know, it's almost one of those things if you 00:17:11.049 --> 00:17:13.769 don't, you know, you can turn the dial. I go 00:17:13.769 --> 00:17:16.549 up and down, you know, 20 or 40 meters during 00:17:16.549 --> 00:17:19.630 the day and I want to hit the end of the band. 00:17:19.670 --> 00:17:21.930 I'll flip it to the other one and go back down 00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:26.390 and I'll work stations or usually I'll pick states. 00:17:26.990 --> 00:17:30.170 And I work with my oldest daughter, and I'll 00:17:30.170 --> 00:17:31.809 start doing it with my youngest now, too. I'll 00:17:31.809 --> 00:17:34.470 print out a map and kind of color in the state. 00:17:34.490 --> 00:17:36.769 So I don't go around trying to work anybody I 00:17:36.769 --> 00:17:41.049 can. I'll listen for Ohio, Indiana, and try to 00:17:41.049 --> 00:17:42.650 work the ones that I don't have just to fill 00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:46.049 up the map. So I'll turn it into a geography 00:17:46.049 --> 00:17:49.609 lesson, if you will, too. Sure. But I should 00:17:49.609 --> 00:17:52.150 give out the website, if it's OK with you. The 00:17:52.150 --> 00:17:55.509 100WattsOnWire .com is where you can learn more. 00:17:55.819 --> 00:17:59.539 About the the activity itself and just click 00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:03.279 on the activity days page and it'll walk you 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:06.119 through it and and I'm still getting used to 00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:11.420 UTC time So that Thursday night at seven o 'clock 00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:16.240 central time that's actually the 12th, you know 00:18:16.240 --> 00:18:19.599 in UTC So Thursday night seven o 'clock you can 00:18:19.599 --> 00:18:22.319 actually begin running and you know, just call 00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:24.900 CQ 100 watts and wire fallout and we've done 00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:27.640 this Together you and I did it. I don't think 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:31.140 it was in 17 But maybe but it could have been 00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:34.140 16 and you and I were both on the air talking 00:18:34.140 --> 00:18:36.160 to each other and then we took calls You remember 00:18:36.160 --> 00:18:39.279 that? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm 16. I was over at 00:18:39.279 --> 00:18:44.299 the George Rogers Clark Memorial down in my hometown 00:18:44.299 --> 00:18:46.960 Vincennes when national parks on the air was 00:18:46.960 --> 00:18:51.880 going and and did a twofer we did the the fallout 00:18:51.880 --> 00:18:58.039 and the Napoda thing at the same time and then 00:18:58.039 --> 00:19:01.480 last year I think I just ran here from the house 00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:05.140 for a little bit. I think we did talk but We 00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:08.799 didn't take a bunch of calls like I do it Did 00:19:08.799 --> 00:19:12.440 down there in Vincennes? Well, you also had a 00:19:12.440 --> 00:19:14.380 lot going on with your family not to bring up 00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:16.720 your personal life But your last year has been 00:19:16.720 --> 00:19:20.500 pretty pretty rough. So yeah, I Hopefully this 00:19:20.500 --> 00:19:23.319 year, I know you're doing some other things with 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.059 the house and the sale and all that sort of stuff. 00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:28.960 But anytime you can get on, you can just tell 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:31.779 me and we'll get on and do it again. That's the 00:19:31.779 --> 00:19:34.339 beauty of it. There's really no rules. You can 00:19:34.339 --> 00:19:36.480 just do it as you want to and know that there's 00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.039 a community of people out there. And a lot of 00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:42.539 them are more inclined to chase, I've found. 00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:45.579 The parking and the barking, it comes some... 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:47.960 those who aren't a little nervous to kind of 00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:51.380 park and call CQ. And then there seems to be 00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:54.500 a little bit more that like to pounce. So it's 00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:56.759 cool to encourage everybody. Even if you've got 00:19:56.759 --> 00:19:59.140 a little mic fright, you can find somebody friendly 00:19:59.140 --> 00:20:02.079 in the community or a friendly voice or somebody 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:05.000 that you've maybe run into on the Facebook page, 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:08.180 that kind of thing. So it's more of a feel -good 00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:10.779 piece. And at some point, I should tell you what 00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:13.599 we're giving away. It's ridiculous. It's really 00:20:13.599 --> 00:20:17.579 I heard the list and and on your show and it 00:20:17.579 --> 00:20:22.220 it was it was it was extremely Massive, so you've 00:20:22.220 --> 00:20:27.720 got a chance to win a ton of stuff So that'll 00:20:27.720 --> 00:20:30.539 be cool, too. So yeah, hopefully I'll do that 00:20:30.539 --> 00:20:34.140 I just realized that that's gonna be a busy time 00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:37.299 on the air we're gonna have the fallout which 00:20:37.299 --> 00:20:40.359 leads into school club roundup, which is one 00:20:40.359 --> 00:20:44.339 of My busy times because we're on the air after 00:20:44.339 --> 00:20:49.799 school every single day for five hours You know 00:20:49.799 --> 00:20:52.859 all week long and then jamboree on the air the 00:20:52.859 --> 00:20:56.839 next weekend So there's gonna be a lot of activity 00:20:56.839 --> 00:20:59.240 on there. So people need to get out there and 00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:03.640 get on There's also a worldwide flora and fauna 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.720 event. I don't know if you've seen this one They're 00:21:05.720 --> 00:21:08.359 calling it get your park on now There was a there 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:10.720 was kind of a separation between the worldwide 00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:13.599 flora and fauna and parks on the air But they're 00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:16.279 basically, you know compliment each other if 00:21:16.279 --> 00:21:19.539 you will but it's called get your park on and 00:21:19.539 --> 00:21:22.259 It's October 14th through the 20th. So that's 00:21:22.259 --> 00:21:25.700 kind of going along as well I just learned about 00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:29.759 that one and I think it ties in with Earth Science 00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:32.279 Week or something like that. Look it up if you're 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.579 interested in the park programs. They're long 00:21:34.579 --> 00:21:38.059 -going programs in international worldwide flora 00:21:38.059 --> 00:21:39.980 and fauna and the parks on the air that you mentioned 00:21:39.980 --> 00:21:43.559 before. They're just cool programs for people 00:21:43.559 --> 00:21:45.299 who like to get out and get portable and some 00:21:45.299 --> 00:21:47.380 of those guys are the ones and girls are the 00:21:47.380 --> 00:21:50.259 ones that are die -hards that'll go out operating 00:21:50.259 --> 00:21:53.440 their truck in February in Wisconsin. You know 00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.240 guys like me or guys with a tighter schedule 00:21:56.240 --> 00:21:58.380 or younger family. We got to kind of pick our 00:21:58.380 --> 00:22:01.220 spots. We were talking a little bit before the 00:22:01.220 --> 00:22:04.119 show about just getting enough time to sit in 00:22:04.119 --> 00:22:07.960 the chair is hard right now for both of us. So 00:22:07.960 --> 00:22:10.740 scheduling things for me right now is better 00:22:10.740 --> 00:22:14.420 than just like, I think I'll drive today to X 00:22:14.420 --> 00:22:16.680 park. You know what I mean? But I support all 00:22:16.680 --> 00:22:18.599 our brothers and sisters out there doing it. 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:23.529 It's cool to go portable. I've found that most 00:22:23.529 --> 00:22:28.089 of my activity lately has been in the car and 00:22:28.089 --> 00:22:31.829 I've been doing satellites, which is, you know, 00:22:32.369 --> 00:22:35.750 a 10 minute window usually and I do it in the 00:22:35.750 --> 00:22:38.349 car and I bought this new antenna and I've barely 00:22:38.349 --> 00:22:43.470 used it because I'm never home. I'm out in the 00:22:43.470 --> 00:22:46.450 car, but I go out and, you know, sit on some 00:22:46.450 --> 00:22:49.720 grid lines and and get a lot of activity. So, 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:53.839 you know, here's a chance to get on HF, get out 00:22:53.839 --> 00:22:58.940 in the car, get out and set up somewhere or whatever 00:22:58.940 --> 00:23:01.980 you have and get on there and make some contacts. 00:23:02.900 --> 00:23:05.119 I think the parks folks, like the Parks on the 00:23:05.119 --> 00:23:07.460 Air program, they like this because it's like 00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:09.880 double dipping. You know, they can also they 00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.660 pass out their 100 watt IDs. It's not mandatory 00:23:12.660 --> 00:23:15.640 that you have one of those. But, you know, many 00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.410 are out there now. and so they exchange their 00:23:18.410 --> 00:23:21.509 park information and they also do the 100 watts 00:23:21.509 --> 00:23:24.450 and a wire fallout or the tune up whichever you 00:23:24.450 --> 00:23:26.789 know we're doing in that particular season so 00:23:26.789 --> 00:23:29.789 they like to double dip too it's kind of a it 00:23:29.789 --> 00:23:31.569 helps them because they need a certain amount 00:23:31.569 --> 00:23:36.170 of contacts to make the activation official so 00:23:36.170 --> 00:23:39.490 you know having another kind of set of uh you 00:23:39.490 --> 00:23:41.789 know in that double dip it helps them out too 00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:47.059 Okay, so remind us again when it is where to 00:23:47.059 --> 00:23:51.440 find the information Any changes from from before 00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.259 or is it just kind of wide open? Well, you're 00:23:54.259 --> 00:23:57.019 really bossy, but I will give you this information 00:23:57.019 --> 00:24:00.759 yet again nails a sure thing Yep, go to 100 watts 00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:05.119 in a wire comm That's 100 watts in a wire comm 00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:07.920 click the activities page and it'll show you 00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.660 there October 12 through the 14th And, uh, again, 00:24:11.700 --> 00:24:14.839 with the UT, uh, UTC time, it's zero hundred 00:24:14.839 --> 00:24:18.980 UTC, uh, on Friday, which is actually seven o 00:24:18.980 --> 00:24:21.480 'clock central time on Thursday evening. This 00:24:21.480 --> 00:24:23.839 is what throws me off. And you end up running 00:24:23.839 --> 00:24:28.140 all the way up until 2359 UTC, which is one minute 00:24:28.140 --> 00:24:31.740 before seven PM central. See, I've confused everyone. 00:24:32.019 --> 00:24:35.519 I actually can hear them turning this off right 00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:39.240 now. And the only difference your WWV goes out. 00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:43.940 then you can't even see what time it is. The 00:24:43.940 --> 00:24:46.839 world is ending, Neil. Let's not bring up the 00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:50.619 other conversation. We had good grief. Yeah, 00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:52.339 it'll tell you everything there. You know, you 00:24:52.339 --> 00:24:54.740 can go and you can spot yourself on the Facebook 00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:57.559 group or whatever you like to do anytime, any 00:24:57.559 --> 00:25:00.240 band, just a simple exchange, call sign, state, 00:25:00.900 --> 00:25:03.640 100 watt ID if you have them. If you need one. 00:25:03.819 --> 00:25:06.220 You just click the gathering page on the website. 00:25:06.380 --> 00:25:08.740 It'll be sequentially issued to you in a couple 00:25:08.740 --> 00:25:11.859 of days. And again, it's not a contest. What 00:25:11.859 --> 00:25:14.059 you do though, if you go back to the website, 00:25:14.519 --> 00:25:17.579 you can submit your totals. And when you submit 00:25:17.579 --> 00:25:20.640 your totals, you just give your call sign and 00:25:20.640 --> 00:25:23.779 your email address and that sort of thing and 00:25:23.779 --> 00:25:25.900 tell me the countries you've worked. Let us know 00:25:25.900 --> 00:25:28.119 what you've worked. And then you get into the 00:25:28.119 --> 00:25:30.519 random drawing. And I'm going to take a week 00:25:30.519 --> 00:25:32.640 this time because it's growing a little bit. 00:25:32.839 --> 00:25:36.200 each time we seem to get a little bit more. And 00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:38.279 I used to just pick the winners right away. It'd 00:25:38.279 --> 00:25:40.460 be like Sunday night. Let's pick them and announce 00:25:40.460 --> 00:25:43.700 them on the show. And then I would notice that 00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:45.839 results were trickling in during the week. So 00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.960 this time I'm gonna take a full week after the 00:25:48.960 --> 00:25:52.720 activity on the 14th, collect all the entries, 00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:55.599 and then we'll pick a winner and put them on 00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:57.900 the next week's show. But it would be cool. I 00:25:57.900 --> 00:26:01.019 don't have a minimum. But you know some people 00:26:01.019 --> 00:26:03.220 just put one station and you could have worked 00:26:03.220 --> 00:26:05.039 somebody sitting there parking and barking and 00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:07.640 that's fine You could still win a prize but try 00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:09.599 to work ten, you know challenge yourself.

I know 00:32:47.509 --> 00:32:50.950 You've got the net back up in full force and 00:32:50.950 --> 00:32:53.930 that's kind of been a thing that's come and gone 00:32:53.930 --> 00:32:56.509 with time constraints and that kind of thing 00:32:56.509 --> 00:33:01.890 and You had me as a guest on the net a few weeks 00:33:01.890 --> 00:33:05.490 ago So so talk a little bit about the net here 00:33:05.490 --> 00:33:08.269 and then we're gonna take some calls All right, 00:33:08.329 --> 00:33:11.769 on Sunday evening, seven o 'clock central time, 00:33:12.089 --> 00:33:16.250 so it's zero hundred UTC, we get on 40 meters. 00:33:16.289 --> 00:33:18.529 It's been a 40 meter net. We've had issues in 00:33:18.529 --> 00:33:21.829 the past with consistency. So I've kind of, I 00:33:21.829 --> 00:33:23.529 push it out there and we'll do it for a while 00:33:23.529 --> 00:33:25.829 and it'll run great and then something will come 00:33:25.829 --> 00:33:28.130 up and it's like, oh, Thursday's just tough. 00:33:28.589 --> 00:33:32.150 And I'm finding that on Sundays we can get second, 00:33:32.150 --> 00:33:34.569 third shift operators who didn't get a chance 00:33:34.569 --> 00:33:36.630 to check in when we were doing it on Thursday. 00:33:37.000 --> 00:33:40.079 They can come. And every once in a while, I'll 00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.099 invite a guest like Neil and we'll probably have 00:33:44.099 --> 00:33:47.180 old Don Wilbank stop by one and we just take 00:33:47.180 --> 00:33:50.680 calls. It's a casual net and we can spread the 00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:52.839 calls out, get people checked in, encourage people 00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:56.039 to get on and test things out. So Sunday night, 00:33:56.099 --> 00:34:00.900 7 o 'clock central time on 40, usually 71 .92 00:34:00.900 --> 00:34:05.130 ballpark, just to keep it in that. in that area 00:34:05.130 --> 00:34:07.549 there so more people can join us there. So it's 00:34:07.549 --> 00:34:10.489 fun. We'll be on the air right after the fallout 00:34:10.489 --> 00:34:12.929 too. So once the fallout is over, we'll go right 00:34:12.929 --> 00:34:15.469 into our net and kind of wrap it up. It's casual. 00:34:15.670 --> 00:34:18.510 What we do is we take and put myself usually 00:34:18.510 --> 00:34:21.070 here in the middle of America. So you've got 00:34:21.070 --> 00:34:23.650 me in the heartland and then we'll have a station 00:34:23.650 --> 00:34:28.510 in Maine. We'll have a station in Maine and then 00:34:28.510 --> 00:34:31.110 we'll have a station in the Pacific Northwest. 00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:34.230 So we're kind of covering the map. the US and 00:34:34.230 --> 00:34:37.210 we'll run for 10 or 15 minutes each operator 00:34:37.210 --> 00:34:40.050 and then we'll pass it off that way if Propagation 00:34:40.050 --> 00:34:43.190 is just you know strange, which it is. We have 00:34:43.190 --> 00:34:46.449 a better chance of casting a broader net It's 00:34:46.449 --> 00:34:48.670 just crazy. We're in the toilet. Let's be honest. 00:34:48.670 --> 00:34:50.989 This is kind of the bottom Have we hit the bottom 00:34:50.989 --> 00:34:52.909 yet? I mean, I think we're at the bottom right 00:34:52.909 --> 00:34:56.329 or or pretty close Yeah, we've been spinning 00:34:56.329 --> 00:34:58.750 around the bowl here for a while, but yeah, I 00:34:58.750 --> 00:35:02.210 think we're headed down It's got to be the bottom 00:35:02.489 --> 00:35:04.809 But Sunday nights, check out the net. Sometimes 00:35:04.809 --> 00:35:06.769 we'll have special guests and change up the format 00:35:06.769 --> 00:35:10.630 a little bit. Very casual net. We don't do it 00:35:10.630 --> 00:35:13.090 for the numbers, although we do fine with people 00:35:13.090 --> 00:35:15.510 checking in.

So, and they're running 1500 Watts, but probably 00:44:54.300 --> 00:44:58.880 that guy. Yeah.

They 00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:22.860 don't know what to do. It kind of, it jolts you 00:45:22.860 --> 00:45:24.820 a little bit because you feel like, you know, 00:45:24.820 --> 00:45:26.559 and in the early days you don't know if it's 00:45:26.559 --> 00:45:28.739 a rule, it's a law, you know, what is it? Am 00:45:28.739 --> 00:45:31.280 I, did I do something wrong? What, how do I answer 00:45:31.280 --> 00:45:34.539 this? Do I have the right to be here? You know 00:45:34.539 --> 00:45:36.880 what I mean? It's a, it's one of those little 00:45:36.880 --> 00:45:41.559 things Our great hobby and service that it could 00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:44.539 it could put a lot of people off and it is intimidating 00:45:44.539 --> 00:45:48.900 but you know that far out to say 25 minutes from 00:45:48.900 --> 00:45:52.159 now we're gonna have a and Yeah, you know what 00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:55.800 I'm saying. Yeah We let we let them, you know, 00:45:55.860 --> 00:45:58.179 we say okay, you know that they're gonna meet 00:45:58.179 --> 00:46:01.179 here. We'll We'll find someplace else. We'll 00:46:01.179 --> 00:46:04.159 go, you know up until a few minutes before and 00:46:04.599 --> 00:46:07.320 And then we'll hand it over to them and go somewhere 00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:11.360 else. But there's that awkward silence of, you 00:46:11.360 --> 00:46:14.780 know, trying to explain that. Right. You want 00:46:14.780 --> 00:46:17.380 to be a good neighbor. You know, you want to 00:46:17.380 --> 00:46:19.619 move aside, be a good friendly person and go, 00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.519 oh, you know, because I would gladly move. It's 00:46:22.519 --> 00:46:25.599 just do you have enough tact to ask? And then 00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:27.980 when they do it, I think a person who QRM is 00:46:27.980 --> 00:46:33.239 a child or, you know, a student. But most of 00:46:33.239 --> 00:46:36.219 the time in our you know this hobby we hear people 00:46:36.219 --> 00:46:38.619 love to make the contacts with the kids They're 00:46:38.619 --> 00:46:40.639 encouraging we beat each other over the head 00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:44.380 sometimes not us, but you know Hams can be rough 00:46:44.380 --> 00:46:48.039 on adults, but we all seem to gravitate to supporting 00:46:48.039 --> 00:46:51.079 the kids When you hear a kid, and I know your 00:46:51.079 --> 00:46:53.039 situation that you had because we talked about 00:46:53.039 --> 00:46:55.480 it before They know that they're talking to a 00:46:55.480 --> 00:46:58.380 high school kid and the person that's not really 00:46:59.809 --> 00:47:01.909 Seasoned and how to deal with a lot of things 00:47:01.909 --> 00:47:04.309 and I can imagine you trying to grab the headset 00:47:04.309 --> 00:47:09.349 and get get in the chair to to You know send 00:47:09.349 --> 00:47:12.769 back a little a little message on their behalf, 00:47:12.769 --> 00:47:16.010 but Generally people are very kind to children 00:47:16.010 --> 00:47:18.789 and very supportive to the next generation. If 00:47:18.789 --> 00:47:21.989 not, you're probably in the wrong Just you're 00:47:21.989 --> 00:47:27.349 just wrong, you know All right, so so she says 00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:30.840 It's K0, we'll try these on, we've got three 00:47:30.840 --> 00:47:36.900 here.

We're finishing our sixth episode on 00:54:32.699 --> 00:54:36.000 Tuesday night. And of course, we air our first 00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:39.880 episode of the seventh season. So weird to say 00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:43.880 seventh season on Friday, tomorrow night. And 00:54:43.880 --> 00:54:45.960 we're just, you know, we're just waiting. It's 00:54:45.960 --> 00:54:48.840 like we're waiting and watching the ratings. 00:54:49.659 --> 00:54:51.300 Because that's really all that matters, I guess, 00:54:51.300 --> 00:54:54.300 at this point. Well, I know Neil would love to 00:54:54.300 --> 00:54:56.579 have you on his show, I can just say. And you 00:54:56.579 --> 00:54:58.679 know you're welcome to come on 100 Watson Wire 00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:02.440 anytime. When you're ready.

I know the the propagation 00:55:09.590 --> 00:55:12.550 so bad and you got like a tin roof up there You 00:55:12.550 --> 00:55:14.510 know, it's be cool to find out what you're doing 00:55:14.510 --> 00:55:17.469 that works Yeah, it's killing. Well, it's killed 00:55:17.469 --> 00:55:19.429 it. You know, I know you everyone's having the 00:55:19.429 --> 00:55:23.369 same trouble. It's not us. It's like we We made 00:55:23.369 --> 00:55:25.670 a lot of hams and got them all excited and then 00:55:25.670 --> 00:55:27.010 they get on the air and they're like Well, I 00:55:27.010 --> 00:55:29.090 don't hear anything except static. We we went 00:55:29.090 --> 00:55:34.070 on the air Tuesday and I said on our Facebook 00:55:34.070 --> 00:55:37.219 page it was like Listening to bacon frying in 00:55:37.219 --> 00:55:39.860 a pan because that's sort of what that's what 00:55:39.860 --> 00:55:43.000 it sounds like right now. So We'll probably do 00:55:43.000 --> 00:55:46.980 some kind of digital work before long just to 00:55:46.980 --> 00:55:50.480 have some contacts but the fans do like to talk 00:55:50.480 --> 00:55:52.579 to to us just like you know Christian you have 00:55:52.579 --> 00:55:54.460 your net and I know the fans want to talk to 00:55:54.460 --> 00:55:57.239 you and You know gets frustrating people can't 00:55:57.239 --> 00:56:00.420 get through. So we're trying to resort to whatever 00:56:00.420 --> 00:56:04.139 roots we have to get in and say hi and Whether 00:56:04.139 --> 00:56:06.820 that's HF, which we of course enjoy so much, 00:56:07.059 --> 00:56:09.619 and or if we have to resort to the digital modes, 00:56:09.780 --> 00:56:13.119 we'll do whatever we have to do. I know this 00:56:13.119 --> 00:56:15.679 whole ham radio community is so excited. I mean, 00:56:15.679 --> 00:56:17.940 there's a buzz in the community as well to have 00:56:17.940 --> 00:56:21.099 the show back on and I hope Fox treats you well 00:56:21.099 --> 00:56:24.539 and that you can run a long, long time. Well, 00:56:24.539 --> 00:56:27.480 thank you. I really appreciate that. We hope 00:56:27.480 --> 00:56:30.539 to be on for a while to bring good, you know, 00:56:30.719 --> 00:56:33.920 family content to television. And a little tiny 00:56:33.920 --> 00:56:37.440 bit of ham radio to the world. So hopefully you 00:56:37.440 --> 00:56:39.000 guys will tune in. Anyway, I don't want to take 00:56:39.000 --> 00:56:41.780 up the rest of your slap, but it's rare that 00:56:41.780 --> 00:56:44.000 I hear the two of you on the radio or on the 00:56:44.000 --> 00:56:45.599 air at the same time. And I just wanted to say 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:48.780 hi. Let's do a three -way show. How about that? 00:56:48.780 --> 00:56:54.440 Oh, yeah. We're glad that you've called in.

I got a bunch. I, you know, I 00:57:36.579 --> 00:57:39.059 lost a few because people had to make a living. 00:57:39.139 --> 00:57:41.420 So they did have to move on a bit and I'm trying 00:57:41.420 --> 00:57:43.940 to get a few new ones, but I'm, and I'm sure 00:57:43.940 --> 00:57:45.980 that we will because there are people interested. 00:57:46.840 --> 00:57:49.619 But, uh, you know, you guys are like 20 over 00:57:49.619 --> 00:57:53.659 here on, on, uh, on speaker.

We have to think about that. 00:58:06.980 --> 00:58:09.059 But anyway, you know, I don't want to get people 00:58:09.059 --> 00:58:11.599 telling me it's not real ham radio, but it's 00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:13.699 all about communicating.

It's good just knowing 00:58:41.619 --> 00:58:43.960 that he's there. You know, I know this show doesn't 00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:46.820 put out so much ham radio stuff, and they give 00:58:46.820 --> 00:58:48.800 him a hard time sometimes about that because 00:58:48.800 --> 00:58:52.280 it's not all ham radio. It wouldn't work. It 00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:55.880 wouldn't work. But having him there actually 00:58:55.880 --> 00:59:00.019 makes it so. It's there. It's there. His station's 00:59:00.019 --> 00:59:02.539 there, QSL card's on the wall, and it's because 00:59:02.539 --> 00:59:05.780 of John. So it's a great thing. He's kind of 00:59:05.780 --> 00:59:08.360 getting it there, and it's in Hollywood. It's 00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:11.599 great. It is. It's great. And so glad that he 00:59:11.599 --> 00:59:13.860 called in, because I was just getting ready to 00:59:13.860 --> 00:59:18.039 shut things down for the night.
