thank you for coming on HamTalk Live tonight.
Well, thank you very much. It's great to be here.
So Brian, we've been talking for a few weeks
here on email and I kind of told you a little
bit of the story here when I started doing the
show in February. I started off with coming up
with, you know, some of the things that I wanted
to do, some little catch phrases and stuff. And
so one of the things I always did was I signed
off with both 73 and 75. then may the good DX
be yours now that may the good DX be yours is
kind of a play on the old WKRP in Cincinnati
newsman Les Nessman that always signed off with
may the good news be yours so I kind of changed
that around and as hams we know what 73 means
it's best wishes but a lot of people have asked
me and and I admit I did this on purpose What
75 means and I've had people go and look up all
these old Western Union message codes and everything
and they're like We can't find anything about
75. We can't find anything about 75. What does
75 mean? So tonight I thought I would finally
reveal on the show although I've answered a few
emails here and there what 75 means and and you're
the guy to Fill everybody in on this. So tell
our audience what 75 means and what its history
is. Well, you certainly have gotten the same
question we have received a number of times.
75 means, may God bless you and yours. And you're
right, it's in addition to the old telegraphy
codes popular in the 19th century. The neat thing
is, if you're doing this with a key, It's 10
quid keystrokes versus over 60 if you spell it
out. So obviously, telegraphers benefit there
to use that. We don't know how far back it goes.
The CARF group has been around for 50 years.
It was started at the North American Christian
Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, 1966. There
are 50 hams. members in that original year. 31
of those now have gone on to be silent keys,
but I had the opportunity to speak with one the
other night, one of our original founding members,
and he said 75 has been with the organization
as long as he's been with it, which is 50 years.
He doesn't remember when we didn't use it, and
he also fully believes that it was used by some
other organization. prior to our using it but
he could not remember back those 50 years. Now
we did look up and see that the first CARF newsletter
was signed with 75 back in September of 1966.
So it's been around for a long time but if you
don't listen to a CARF net or know about CARF
then chances are you didn't hear about it. No
and I think we're the only folks I know that
use it I've gone out there and searched. I've
never heard it used on air otherwise. We only
use it at the Carf Net. So if you hear 75, you're
probably listening to the Christian Amateur Radio
Fellowship Net. There you go. So now you guys
know what 75 means. That's what it means when
we sign off with that. Every week, as long as
I don't run out of time. get too long -winded.
So we try to throw that in there every week.
So when I was a kid, I joined CARF. I'm number
197. And one of the things that CARF did was
provide a place on the air for missionaries to
check in with people back home in the United
States and even provide some equipment so the
missionaries could have some kind of direct line
home when other means of communications were
not possible. And in some of these remote locations
that missionaries would go to, that was always
quite a problem and that was their only live
link back home. uh... sometimes mail would take
you know over a month and maybe there'd only
be one phone line in the village or you may have
to go to another town to get on a phone line
and so we ran a lot of phone patches you know
for missionaries and family and friends and and
a lot of missionaries who did the same kind of
thing and i was qsl manager uh... for a long
time uh... for one and now we've got the internet
and of course the internet isn't everywhere yet
but satellite phone technology is available everywhere
and so since that's become more affordable and
available ham radio is pretty much a recreational
activity for those missionaries now so tell us
you know now that that's kind of taken over.
How has the mission of CARF and helping out people
in the mission field has kind of changed with
the times? Well it certainly has and obviously
some of us are sad to see that those days are
gone but we're also excited about these new technologies
and we have morphed a little bit in what we do
and one of the things we do is We do go to the
Dayton Hamvention occasionally. And the purpose
of that is not just to recruit members, but it's
to be there and show the Ham community that there
is a Christian organization on Ham Radio. So
you can get in and participate in nets and become
part of the service that way. So that's one thing
we've done to continue showing, if you will,
the gospel there. Another thing we had an opportunity
to do, we combined our love of radio with spreading
the gospel. There's a radio station down in Peru,
Radio Achaski. It's located in Aribamba, just
outside Cusco. And it went on the air in 1992.
They do AM, FM, and shortwave. And new transmitters
were installed over the years for AM and for
FM and shortwave. But the AM station, that transmitter
was never replaced. And finally, it got old and
died. And of course, as with most organizations,
the Peruvian version of the FCC said, hey, you've
got to keep your transmitter on the air or you're
going to lose your license and or your frequency.
So it was a real problem. What are we going to
do? How are we going to get your transmitter
up? They're not cheap. And so CARF was able to
come along and learn about this issue. And we
were able to provide a substantial financial
help to get that AM transmitter purchased and
on the air. That's been on the air since about
May 31st of 2014. So really kind of exciting
for us to continue to participate in radio spreading
the gospel and yet maybe in a different way than
we did initially back in the 1960s. Well, I felt
like this was the perfect time to have you on
the show because Christmas is just a few days
away when we're celebrating the birth of Jesus
Christ. So, tell us how CARF is playing a role
in the fellowship of believers who are also ham
radio operators. Well, you know, ham radio is
all about relationships because no matter what
mode we're running, what band, what country you're
talking to or talking from, the type of equipment
at the end of the day, or at the end of the contact,
it's all about connecting with another human
being. And of course, for the CARF net, when
we're on air, that connection includes having
fun, offering encouragement, prayer, fellowship,
listening to other hams, and of course, having
a devotion. Those are some of the things that
we do on our net every day. And the net participants,
some of them are unable to get out easily from
their shacks. to join other believers. You know,
go to church, go to events. They simply can't
do it because of their health. Well, the radio
is great because it overcomes that and allows
them to get right out there with the rest of
the world. And so we in our interaction with
them... play that role of friend and offer accountability
and Christian fellowship. So it's really kind
of exciting to do that. And I've had the opportunity
to visit some of the members in their homes,
including one of our, if you call him a shut
-in operator, at that opportunity earlier this
year. And that was very exciting to go see him
face to face and to see what he was facing and
know that we can play an encouraging role in
that. You know, it is Christmas time, you mentioned.
And for Christians, Christmas is all about a
relationship with Christ. Christ came to earth
as a baby for the purpose of reconciling man
with God. Now, that's about the most important
connection a human being can make. And we know
that some of those listening to our net are not
Christian. And so this allows us an opportunity
to illustrate the love of God, the same love
that he showed for us in sending his son, Christ,
to earth. Very, very good. A couple of other
questions just came to mind. If you're tuning
into a carf net for the first time, and you just
turn on the radio and get the frequency in at
the proper time, give me a little bit of a rundown
of what to expect. How does the order of the
net? go and what should somebody expect by jumping
in on her? Well of course there's a pre -net
that goes on, starts anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes
before and then as the hour rolls around we do
call it and there is a preamble that people will
hear and they'll say Christian Amateur Radio
Fellowship and talk about our frequency and our
time. So then we go, we've obviously written
down a few of the call signs from the pre -net,
we'll run through those and ask for additional
check -ins, invite everybody else out there to
check in. A lot of folks will hang back and listen
a few times before they check in to kind of get
the feel of how the net goes. But I encourage
people, go ahead and check in. We'll carry you
through. It is a directed net, so that's about
the only thing that confuses people. Sometimes
they want to jump right in, and in our case,
we do take and then call the roll as we go through,
and we'll pick up additional stations every quarter
hour. Okay, very good. And then how long do you
guys usually stay on? We run about 30 to 45 minutes.
Generally we'll have two quarters after the hour.
There's additional stations yet desiring to check
in. And then we'll get to the devotion. We'll
have a wrap -up prayer and sometimes some final
comments from the net participants. And anywhere
between about 35 minutes to 45 minutes is our
average length of the net. Okay, very good. And
I've been by the booth at Dayton many times and
I know that you typically have like a sign in
sheet there where you can kind of have a visitor's
log kind of thing and I've signed that. And obviously
you're doing some promotion there. But tell us
a little bit about some of the other things that
you do there with the booth at Dayton. Well,
it's fun to talk to people and encourage them.
Some are just coming by and saying, hey, we're
glad to see somebody out here in the Christian
sector on the air. And they like to see that.
They want to encourage. A lot of discussion goes
on about what churches they go to and their own
experience with ham radio. And then we even talk
about our Christian walk sometimes and get into
discussing how it's going. and what we can do
to encourage one another. That occurs at the
Dayton Hamvention as well. But it's mostly just
an opportunity to be there and provide answers
for questions. I know we've given out Bibles,
we've given out other information, answering
questions. We'll have a lot of people sign in.
There might be 50 to 90 different folks who stop
by there and take the time to sign in, having
an extensive conversation with us. Very good.
Well, we're going to take a break here and pay
a few of the bills. But we're going to come back.
We're going to take your calls. We've already
got a couple of messages coming in by text here.
So we'll get to those and we will invite you
all to call in and talk to Brian. And if you
have any questions or comments, get those ready
to go and we'll be back here shortly to Tell
you when to do that after this message from Tower

The Twitter handle is at hamtalklive. So send
in your comments and your questions. And we'll
be happy to. address those. So before we get
to one question I see that Lloyd sent in here.
Brian, take us through a little bit about how
to find out more information about CARF and anything
else about the net that you want to get to everybody
here. Well certainly Neil, one of the first ways
to find out more about the CARF net is Monday
through Saturday, never on Sunday. at 1100 UTC
in the summer and 1200 UTC in the winter on 3930
kHz. Stop by that frequency during those times
and you will get to know everyone on the CARFnet.
You can also find out more about us at our website
www .carf .net. Alright, very good and that frequency
again is 3930. You have to get up in the morning
and get on 39 .30. Well, I do have a question
here from Lloyd, KC5FM. He wants to ask about
WA9VQL and his remote hams software that he uses
to check into the net from South America. Yeah,
it's a beautiful way. WA0VQL uses that to check
in. He's a longtime member. and he'll call in
through Remote Hams. That's a wonderful piece
of software that allows missionaries like Mark
to participate in the Net -Hear State site. He's
not the only one who uses it, and there are others
from around the world who can use Remote Hams.
It is a wonderful system that allows you to,
over the internet, take control of a station
in another place. And we use a couple of stations
here in the United States. and Mark is able to
do that, thereby join us from his apartment.
Of course, in an apartment, it's difficult for
him to get out on 75 meter or other HF frequencies,
and Remote Hams solves that problem. And if you're
interested in that, you know, if you don't have
a lot of radio gear or you're kind of stuck in
an apartment situation, check out remotehams
.com, remotehams .com. Download that software
and join us on 3930 kilohertz. Yeah, and we've
got a comment here on the website from Clarence
WDX5FOY. He's a shortwave listener and he says
that he's listening to the program tonight and
says you might say something about the shortwave
listening monitoring that he tunes in on remote
hams as well. So anything about the the SWLs?
Well, we have a number that check in with us,
and Clarence is certainly one that we see a lot
on Remote Hams, but he's not the only one. There
are a number of fellows that check in from all
over the world. And not necessarily, we're getting
some from Muslim countries, believe it or not.
And so it's very interesting, the diversity of
the individuals listening. in on our net each
morning. It's kind of exciting. I've had some
email conversations offline with them and been
very wonderful conversations. A great fellowship
we've had and it's good to uplift others and
show the love of Christ. Alright, very good.
Well again, the The phone number 812 -NET -HAM
-1, 812 -638 -4261. Give us a call if you have
something to add to the conversation or question
for Brian. Be sure to call in 812 -NET -HAM -1
or you can tweet us at HamTalk Live. While we're
waiting for some more questions and comments
to come in, Brian, what are some of the things
that you'd like to see CARF accomplish in the
future? Now, I know your three -year stint is
up and you're going to be handing the reins over
as president soon, but what are some of the things
that you hope to see CARF doing in the future?
I want to make sure that we continue to encourage
ham radio operators in their daily walk with
God by providing a solid net opportunity each
morning and giving them an opportunity to become
members of the organization to help lead and
serve in that. There are many things we do and
we'd love to have people come and be part of
that. That's something we want to see more of.
I obviously want to provide an opportunity to
answer questions. about your personal relationship
with God through Christ. We're here. We can answer
them by email. We can answer them on the net.
We're certainly open to conversations about that
and answering any questions that ham radio operators
may have. We're also looking for opportunities
to combine our love of radio with helping to
spread the gospel. We gave the example earlier
of Radio Chosky down in Peru, and a wonderful
opportunity there. We're always looking for things,
so if you're out there and you're listening,
and you've got an idea that we can help with,
a way to bridge those two, we'd love to hear
from you. We'd love to have you be part of the
Christian Amateur Radio Fellowship. Okay, and
Lloyd KC5FM has another question here. He wants
to know if there's a prayer list for Ham Radio
folks. Yes, there is. We maintain a prayer list
and we keep each week that is updated faithfully
and that way it's out there so the members can
pray over other members, but it's not just members
we pray for. We take in requests from Christians
about any number of subjects. We encourage by
praying for them and that is maintained each
week and that way everybody can go over that
list and pray for these various individuals who
need uplifting throughout the week. Very good.
812 -NATAM -1 is the number or Skype us at HamTalk
Live. We have a few minutes remaining so if you
have something to ask Ask Brian feel free to
jump in or something to comment on if you've
had a an experience with car fly Jump on in here.
It's eight one two net ham one eight one two
six three eight four two six one Okay, I see
Clarence added us maybe he'll call in here in
a second see that that he's added us on Skype
How many people are typically checking in on
a regular basis? We have, it varies of course,
anywhere from 15 to 25. Obviously during the
summer months when 75 meter is not quite as favorable,
it's harder to check in. But if you use remote
hams and you combine that with the winter months,
it's quite easy to get above 20 checking in each
day. I think it's not the same people every day.
There's obviously a schedule in there and people's
lives vary. So we have different individuals
checking in each of those days of the week. Very
good. 812 -NET -HAM -1 is that number, 812 -638
-4261. We'll give you a couple of more minutes
to call in or chime in here on Our Christmas
show with Brian Lynn, KD0HII, the president of
Christian Amateur Radio Fellowship. Now I mentioned
that you're going to be handing off the presidency
soon. Tell us about the new group of officers
coming in. What we have at three years is the
limit for our officers that you can serve consecutively.
And we have a new president coming in next year,
AC Zero, BD, Michael Miller. He's also an Iowan,
not too far from me in Polk City, Iowa. He's
our incoming president and he has served the
past year as our vice president. It's exciting
to have him join us. He's a father, a husband,
a Boy Scout leader and a teacher. at one of the
local high schools, and very much involved with
young people, very excited about spreading the
gospel and becoming more involved in the CARF
group. We have a new officer this year, KAGAP,
that's Mark, and he's out of Kentucky. He's joining
us as our Vice President this year, and he's
not served before. This is his first opportunity
as an officer, so it's really good to have him
aboard. And we have returning Secretary Treasurer
in K4REE. Bob is a longtime member of CARF and
he is also our webmaster. We're really, really
pleased to have this group of officers going
into 2017. Very good. Lloyd, again, wants to
know when is all CARF check -in day and what's
the record number of check -ins that you have?
Well, he may stump me on the second one, but
the first part of that is January 28th, 2017.
That's a Saturday morning, and we encourage everybody
to join in. That's where we try to get everybody
out there. I do not know the record number. Our
secretary treasurer probably does, but I don't.
I know that we can have a lot of folks check
in that day, particularly this past year. It's
our 50th anniversary, so all -carve check -in
day for 2016. Brought a number of people. It
seems like we had on the order of 40 to 50 stations
in that morning It was quite an exciting morning.
So join us January 28th 2017 for all car check
-in day Very good. I'll have to try to get in
there The time is always tough for me. I Honestly
not much of a morning person and then when I
teach it's like I've got to get out the door
and and so maybe we can we can make a point to
to do that Saturday and get in there so yeah
that's 3930 is is where the carf net meets so
you can jump in on that day or any other day
but if we get a chance get in there specifically
on January 28th Alright, well Lloyd's typing
again, so let me see if he's got anything here.
We're gonna wrap things up here pretty shortly.
So if you want to call, that number is 812 -NET
-HAM -1. 812 -638 -4261 to be on the show. And
Lloyd says that he'll conveniently give me a
wake -up call. Well, I got the antenna fixed,
so that was another thing too. So I'll have to
get back in there on the net. So Brian, is there
anything else you want to talk about here before
we finish up? We'll give you a couple of minutes
here to do whatever. I'm checking to see if we've
got any more messages on here. and we'll give
people another minute or so to call, but anything
else you want to throw in? Well, you're not the
only one who suffers from being captured by the
blanket monster There are some would check in
that and you know Regulars always on the pre
net and they come in there at two quarters after
the hour I've been guilty of it myself. Fortunately
never on the morning. I was serving as net control
Now that's always embarrassing if you're NCS
and you oversleep that morning if that's not
happened to me yet But it's always good to start
the day with the fellowship. It kind of helps
me get my day started. I get up and listen to
some guys, think about somebody else other than
myself, get in some fellowship or devotional.
Great way to start the day, an uplifting way
to start the day at 3930 kilohertz Monday through
Saturday at 1100 UTC in the summer and 1200 UTC
in the winter. We'd love to have you join us.
Very good. Well Clarence wants to know can people
still get the special 50th anniversary certificate
and says that he proudly displays his in his
shack. Well you certainly can. Anyone who checks
