It's great to be here. 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.259 So Brian, we've been talking for a few weeks 00:07:56.259 --> 00:07:59.699 here on email and I kind of told you a little 00:07:59.699 --> 00:08:01.620 bit of the story here when I started doing the 00:08:01.620 --> 00:08:06.029 show in February. I started off with coming up 00:08:06.029 --> 00:08:08.550 with, you know, some of the things that I wanted 00:08:08.550 --> 00:08:11.769 to do, some little catch phrases and stuff. And 00:08:11.769 --> 00:08:13.870 so one of the things I always did was I signed 00:08:13.870 --> 00:08:20.920 off with both 73 and 75. then may the good DX 00:08:20.920 --> 00:08:23.800 be yours now that may the good DX be yours is 00:08:23.800 --> 00:08:27.399 kind of a play on the old WKRP in Cincinnati 00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:31.360 newsman Les Nessman that always signed off with 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.840 may the good news be yours so I kind of changed 00:08:34.840 --> 00:08:37.919 that around and as hams we know what 73 means 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:42.639 it's best wishes but a lot of people have asked 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:48.120 me and and I admit I did this on purpose What 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:53.539 75 means and I've had people go and look up all 00:08:53.539 --> 00:08:56.259 these old Western Union message codes and everything 00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:59.000 and they're like We can't find anything about 00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:02.080 75. We can't find anything about 75. What does 00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.899 75 mean? So tonight I thought I would finally 00:09:05.899 --> 00:09:09.480 reveal on the show although I've answered a few 00:09:09.480 --> 00:09:13.740 emails here and there what 75 means and and you're 00:09:13.740 --> 00:09:18.289 the guy to Fill everybody in on this. So tell 00:09:18.289 --> 00:09:21.769 our audience what 75 means and what its history 00:09:21.769 --> 00:09:24.629 is. Well, you certainly have gotten the same 00:09:24.629 --> 00:09:26.730 question we have received a number of times. 00:09:27.149 --> 00:09:31.669 75 means, may God bless you and yours. And you're 00:09:31.669 --> 00:09:33.990 right, it's in addition to the old telegraphy 00:09:33.990 --> 00:09:36.950 codes popular in the 19th century. The neat thing 00:09:36.950 --> 00:09:39.830 is, if you're doing this with a key, It's 10 00:09:39.830 --> 00:09:42.350 quid keystrokes versus over 60 if you spell it 00:09:42.350 --> 00:09:45.789 out. So obviously, telegraphers benefit there 00:09:45.789 --> 00:09:48.029 to use that. We don't know how far back it goes. 00:09:49.750 --> 00:09:51.629 The CARF group has been around for 50 years. 00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:54.230 It was started at the North American Christian 00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:58.269 Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, 1966. There 00:09:58.269 --> 00:10:02.259 are 50 hams. members in that original year. 31 00:10:02.259 --> 00:10:04.539 of those now have gone on to be silent keys, 00:10:04.940 --> 00:10:07.100 but I had the opportunity to speak with one the 00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:09.419 other night, one of our original founding members, 00:10:09.460 --> 00:10:12.559 and he said 75 has been with the organization 00:10:12.559 --> 00:10:15.580 as long as he's been with it, which is 50 years. 00:10:16.299 --> 00:10:19.480 He doesn't remember when we didn't use it, and 00:10:19.480 --> 00:10:22.259 he also fully believes that it was used by some 00:10:22.259 --> 00:10:24.889 other organization. prior to our using it but 00:10:24.889 --> 00:10:28.110 he could not remember back those 50 years. Now 00:10:28.110 --> 00:10:31.190 we did look up and see that the first CARF newsletter 00:10:31.190 --> 00:10:35.870 was signed with 75 back in September of 1966. 00:10:37.250 --> 00:10:39.450 So it's been around for a long time but if you 00:10:39.450 --> 00:10:43.090 don't listen to a CARF net or know about CARF 00:10:43.090 --> 00:10:47.090 then chances are you didn't hear about it. No 00:10:47.090 --> 00:10:49.429 and I think we're the only folks I know that 00:10:49.429 --> 00:10:51.740 use it I've gone out there and searched. I've 00:10:51.740 --> 00:10:54.500 never heard it used on air otherwise. We only 00:10:54.500 --> 00:10:56.960 use it at the Carf Net. So if you hear 75, you're 00:10:56.960 --> 00:10:59.600 probably listening to the Christian Amateur Radio 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.759 Fellowship Net. There you go. So now you guys 00:11:02.759 --> 00:11:06.940 know what 75 means. That's what it means when 00:11:06.940 --> 00:11:08.799 we sign off with that. Every week, as long as 00:11:08.799 --> 00:11:12.309 I don't run out of time. get too long -winded. 00:11:13.029 --> 00:11:15.690 So we try to throw that in there every week. 00:11:16.090 --> 00:11:20.490 So when I was a kid, I joined CARF. I'm number 00:11:20.490 --> 00:11:24.009 197. And one of the things that CARF did was 00:11:24.190 --> 00:11:26.990 provide a place on the air for missionaries to 00:11:26.990 --> 00:11:29.929 check in with people back home in the United 00:11:29.929 --> 00:11:33.250 States and even provide some equipment so the 00:11:33.250 --> 00:11:35.889 missionaries could have some kind of direct line 00:11:35.889 --> 00:11:39.370 home when other means of communications were 00:11:39.370 --> 00:11:42.409 not possible. And in some of these remote locations 00:11:42.409 --> 00:11:46.269 that missionaries would go to, that was always 00:11:46.269 --> 00:11:48.809 quite a problem and that was their only live 00:11:48.809 --> 00:11:52.419 link back home. uh... sometimes mail would take 00:11:52.419 --> 00:11:55.440 you know over a month and maybe there'd only 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:58.039 be one phone line in the village or you may have 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:00.759 to go to another town to get on a phone line 00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:04.039 and so we ran a lot of phone patches you know 00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:07.019 for missionaries and family and friends and and 00:12:07.019 --> 00:12:09.200 a lot of missionaries who did the same kind of 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:12.080 thing and i was qsl manager uh... for a long 00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:16.399 time uh... for one and now we've got the internet 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.620 and of course the internet isn't everywhere yet 00:12:19.620 --> 00:12:24.700 but satellite phone technology is available everywhere 00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:30.600 and so since that's become more affordable and 00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:35.360 available ham radio is pretty much a recreational 00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:39.279 activity for those missionaries now so tell us 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:42.379 you know now that that's kind of taken over. 00:12:42.919 --> 00:12:48.440 How has the mission of CARF and helping out people 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:51.019 in the mission field has kind of changed with 00:12:51.019 --> 00:12:54.779 the times? Well it certainly has and obviously 00:12:54.779 --> 00:12:57.259 some of us are sad to see that those days are 00:12:57.259 --> 00:13:00.379 gone but we're also excited about these new technologies 00:13:00.379 --> 00:13:03.240 and we have morphed a little bit in what we do 00:13:03.240 --> 00:13:06.409 and one of the things we do is We do go to the 00:13:06.409 --> 00:13:08.850 Dayton Hamvention occasionally. And the purpose 00:13:08.850 --> 00:13:11.929 of that is not just to recruit members, but it's 00:13:11.929 --> 00:13:14.990 to be there and show the Ham community that there 00:13:14.990 --> 00:13:18.870 is a Christian organization on Ham Radio. So 00:13:18.870 --> 00:13:22.549 you can get in and participate in nets and become 00:13:22.549 --> 00:13:25.090 part of the service that way. So that's one thing 00:13:25.090 --> 00:13:28.330 we've done to continue showing, if you will, 00:13:28.710 --> 00:13:31.450 the gospel there. Another thing we had an opportunity 00:13:31.450 --> 00:13:35.559 to do, we combined our love of radio with spreading 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:39.120 the gospel. There's a radio station down in Peru, 00:13:39.460 --> 00:13:42.460 Radio Achaski. It's located in Aribamba, just 00:13:42.460 --> 00:13:45.500 outside Cusco. And it went on the air in 1992. 00:13:45.820 --> 00:13:50.120 They do AM, FM, and shortwave. And new transmitters 00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:52.759 were installed over the years for AM and for 00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:56.500 FM and shortwave. But the AM station, that transmitter 00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:58.779 was never replaced. And finally, it got old and 00:13:58.779 --> 00:14:02.580 died. And of course, as with most organizations, 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.960 the Peruvian version of the FCC said, hey, you've 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:07.720 got to keep your transmitter on the air or you're 00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:09.580 going to lose your license and or your frequency. 00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:12.759 So it was a real problem. What are we going to 00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:14.059 do? How are we going to get your transmitter 00:14:14.059 --> 00:14:17.179 up? They're not cheap. And so CARF was able to 00:14:17.179 --> 00:14:19.700 come along and learn about this issue. And we 00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:23.080 were able to provide a substantial financial 00:14:23.340 --> 00:14:26.620 help to get that AM transmitter purchased and 00:14:26.620 --> 00:14:28.519 on the air. That's been on the air since about 00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:32.539 May 31st of 2014. So really kind of exciting 00:14:32.539 --> 00:14:36.220 for us to continue to participate in radio spreading 00:14:36.220 --> 00:14:39.379 the gospel and yet maybe in a different way than 00:14:39.379 --> 00:14:45.230 we did initially back in the 1960s. Well, I felt 00:14:45.230 --> 00:14:47.389 like this was the perfect time to have you on 00:14:47.389 --> 00:14:50.169 the show because Christmas is just a few days 00:14:50.169 --> 00:14:52.690 away when we're celebrating the birth of Jesus 00:14:52.690 --> 00:14:56.409 Christ. So, tell us how CARF is playing a role 00:14:56.409 --> 00:15:01.009 in the fellowship of believers who are also ham 00:15:01.009 --> 00:15:04.330 radio operators. Well, you know, ham radio is 00:15:04.330 --> 00:15:06.950 all about relationships because no matter what 00:15:06.950 --> 00:15:09.669 mode we're running, what band, what country you're 00:15:09.669 --> 00:15:12.789 talking to or talking from, the type of equipment 00:15:13.019 --> 00:15:15.620 at the end of the day, or at the end of the contact, 00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.279 it's all about connecting with another human 00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:20.820 being. And of course, for the CARF net, when 00:15:20.820 --> 00:15:23.460 we're on air, that connection includes having 00:15:23.460 --> 00:15:27.019 fun, offering encouragement, prayer, fellowship, 00:15:27.440 --> 00:15:30.059 listening to other hams, and of course, having 00:15:30.059 --> 00:15:32.419 a devotion. Those are some of the things that 00:15:32.419 --> 00:15:35.220 we do on our net every day. And the net participants, 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:38.840 some of them are unable to get out easily from 00:15:38.840 --> 00:15:41.200 their shacks. to join other believers. You know, 00:15:41.259 --> 00:15:43.960 go to church, go to events. They simply can't 00:15:43.960 --> 00:15:46.000 do it because of their health. Well, the radio 00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.799 is great because it overcomes that and allows 00:15:48.799 --> 00:15:51.379 them to get right out there with the rest of 00:15:51.379 --> 00:15:53.919 the world. And so we in our interaction with 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:56.980 them... play that role of friend and offer accountability 00:15:56.980 --> 00:15:59.240 and Christian fellowship. So it's really kind 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:01.879 of exciting to do that. And I've had the opportunity 00:16:01.879 --> 00:16:04.879 to visit some of the members in their homes, 00:16:05.019 --> 00:16:06.860 including one of our, if you call him a shut 00:16:06.860 --> 00:16:09.460 -in operator, at that opportunity earlier this 00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:11.980 year. And that was very exciting to go see him 00:16:11.980 --> 00:16:14.480 face to face and to see what he was facing and 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:16.980 know that we can play an encouraging role in 00:16:16.980 --> 00:16:19.440 that. You know, it is Christmas time, you mentioned. 00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:24.019 And for Christians, Christmas is all about a 00:16:24.019 --> 00:16:26.720 relationship with Christ. Christ came to earth 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.299 as a baby for the purpose of reconciling man 00:16:29.299 --> 00:16:32.299 with God. Now, that's about the most important 00:16:32.299 --> 00:16:35.279 connection a human being can make. And we know 00:16:35.279 --> 00:16:37.139 that some of those listening to our net are not 00:16:37.139 --> 00:16:39.860 Christian. And so this allows us an opportunity 00:16:39.860 --> 00:16:42.600 to illustrate the love of God, the same love 00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:45.299 that he showed for us in sending his son, Christ, 00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:50.820 to earth. Very, very good. A couple of other 00:16:50.820 --> 00:16:56.960 questions just came to mind. If you're tuning 00:16:56.960 --> 00:17:01.919 into a carf net for the first time, and you just 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:06.900 turn on the radio and get the frequency in at 00:17:06.900 --> 00:17:10.400 the proper time, give me a little bit of a rundown 00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:16.039 of what to expect. How does the order of the 00:17:16.039 --> 00:17:21.140 net? go and what should somebody expect by jumping 00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:23.880 in on her? Well of course there's a pre -net 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:26.579 that goes on, starts anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes 00:17:26.579 --> 00:17:30.579 before and then as the hour rolls around we do 00:17:30.579 --> 00:17:33.759 call it and there is a preamble that people will 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:36.700 hear and they'll say Christian Amateur Radio 00:17:36.700 --> 00:17:38.960 Fellowship and talk about our frequency and our 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.180 time. So then we go, we've obviously written 00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:43.319 down a few of the call signs from the pre -net, 00:17:43.740 --> 00:17:46.059 we'll run through those and ask for additional 00:17:46.509 --> 00:17:48.990 check -ins, invite everybody else out there to 00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:51.349 check in. A lot of folks will hang back and listen 00:17:51.349 --> 00:17:53.869 a few times before they check in to kind of get 00:17:53.869 --> 00:17:57.130 the feel of how the net goes. But I encourage 00:17:57.130 --> 00:17:59.529 people, go ahead and check in. We'll carry you 00:17:59.529 --> 00:18:01.569 through. It is a directed net, so that's about 00:18:01.569 --> 00:18:03.970 the only thing that confuses people. Sometimes 00:18:03.970 --> 00:18:05.829 they want to jump right in, and in our case, 00:18:06.269 --> 00:18:08.809 we do take and then call the roll as we go through, 00:18:09.109 --> 00:18:11.349 and we'll pick up additional stations every quarter 00:18:11.349 --> 00:18:16.359 hour. Okay, very good. And then how long do you 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:20.500 guys usually stay on? We run about 30 to 45 minutes. 00:18:21.259 --> 00:18:23.000 Generally we'll have two quarters after the hour. 00:18:23.180 --> 00:18:25.900 There's additional stations yet desiring to check 00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:28.200 in. And then we'll get to the devotion. We'll 00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.720 have a wrap -up prayer and sometimes some final 00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.599 comments from the net participants. And anywhere 00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:37.000 between about 35 minutes to 45 minutes is our 00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.509 average length of the net. Okay, very good. And 00:18:41.509 --> 00:18:44.890 I've been by the booth at Dayton many times and 00:18:44.890 --> 00:18:47.990 I know that you typically have like a sign in 00:18:47.990 --> 00:18:50.970 sheet there where you can kind of have a visitor's 00:18:50.970 --> 00:18:55.950 log kind of thing and I've signed that. And obviously 00:18:55.950 --> 00:18:59.910 you're doing some promotion there. But tell us 00:18:59.910 --> 00:19:01.589 a little bit about some of the other things that 00:19:01.589 --> 00:19:05.299 you do there with the booth at Dayton. Well, 00:19:05.299 --> 00:19:07.680 it's fun to talk to people and encourage them. 00:19:08.160 --> 00:19:10.039 Some are just coming by and saying, hey, we're 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:13.079 glad to see somebody out here in the Christian 00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:15.839 sector on the air. And they like to see that. 00:19:15.839 --> 00:19:18.259 They want to encourage. A lot of discussion goes 00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:20.859 on about what churches they go to and their own 00:19:20.859 --> 00:19:23.700 experience with ham radio. And then we even talk 00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:27.099 about our Christian walk sometimes and get into 00:19:27.099 --> 00:19:30.400 discussing how it's going. and what we can do 00:19:30.400 --> 00:19:32.319 to encourage one another. That occurs at the 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:35.220 Dayton Hamvention as well. But it's mostly just 00:19:35.220 --> 00:19:38.339 an opportunity to be there and provide answers 00:19:38.339 --> 00:19:40.200 for questions. I know we've given out Bibles, 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:42.859 we've given out other information, answering 00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:45.660 questions. We'll have a lot of people sign in. 00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:49.339 There might be 50 to 90 different folks who stop 00:19:49.339 --> 00:19:51.579 by there and take the time to sign in, having 00:19:51.579 --> 00:19:56.079 an extensive conversation with us. Very good. 00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:59.299 Well, we're going to take a break here and pay 00:19:59.299 --> 00:20:02.039 a few of the bills. But we're going to come back. 00:20:02.079 --> 00:20:03.460 We're going to take your calls. We've already 00:20:03.460 --> 00:20:06.480 got a couple of messages coming in by text here. 00:20:06.500 --> 00:20:10.839 So we'll get to those and we will invite you 00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:16.059 all to call in and talk to Brian. And if you 00:20:16.059 --> 00:20:18.119 have any questions or comments, get those ready 00:20:18.119 --> 00:20:23.299 to go and we'll be back here shortly to Tell 00:20:23.299 --> 00:20:26.440 you when to do that after this message from Tower 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:30.240 Electronics right here on HamTalk Live.

So before we get 00:23:19.740 --> 00:23:23.839 to one question I see that Lloyd sent in here. 00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:27.940 Brian, take us through a little bit about how 00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:33.299 to find out more information about CARF and anything 00:23:33.299 --> 00:23:36.759 else about the net that you want to get to everybody 00:23:36.759 --> 00:23:40.099 here. Well certainly Neil, one of the first ways 00:23:40.099 --> 00:23:43.119 to find out more about the CARF net is Monday 00:23:43.119 --> 00:23:46.950 through Saturday, never on Sunday. at 1100 UTC 00:23:46.950 --> 00:23:51.170 in the summer and 1200 UTC in the winter on 3930 00:23:51.170 --> 00:23:54.329 kHz. Stop by that frequency during those times 00:23:54.329 --> 00:23:56.630 and you will get to know everyone on the CARFnet. 00:23:57.029 --> 00:24:00.009 You can also find out more about us at our website 00:24:00.009 --> 00:24:11.470 www .carf .net. Alright, very good and that frequency 00:24:11.470 --> 00:24:16.539 again is 3930. You have to get up in the morning 00:24:16.539 --> 00:24:21.700 and get on 39 .30. Well, I do have a question 00:24:21.700 --> 00:24:27.279 here from Lloyd, KC5FM. He wants to ask about 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:34.799 WA9VQL and his remote hams software that he uses 00:24:34.799 --> 00:24:38.440 to check into the net from South America. Yeah, 00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:42.700 it's a beautiful way. WA0VQL uses that to check 00:24:42.700 --> 00:24:46.049 in. He's a longtime member. and he'll call in 00:24:46.049 --> 00:24:49.430 through Remote Hams. That's a wonderful piece 00:24:49.430 --> 00:24:52.670 of software that allows missionaries like Mark 00:24:52.670 --> 00:24:55.410 to participate in the Net -Hear State site. He's 00:24:55.410 --> 00:24:57.769 not the only one who uses it, and there are others 00:24:57.769 --> 00:25:00.309 from around the world who can use Remote Hams. 00:25:00.829 --> 00:25:04.690 It is a wonderful system that allows you to, 00:25:04.690 --> 00:25:07.910 over the internet, take control of a station 00:25:07.910 --> 00:25:11.190 in another place. And we use a couple of stations 00:25:11.190 --> 00:25:14.019 here in the United States. and Mark is able to 00:25:14.019 --> 00:25:16.819 do that, thereby join us from his apartment. 00:25:16.960 --> 00:25:18.680 Of course, in an apartment, it's difficult for 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:23.119 him to get out on 75 meter or other HF frequencies, 00:25:23.559 --> 00:25:26.319 and Remote Hams solves that problem. And if you're 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:28.039 interested in that, you know, if you don't have 00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:30.720 a lot of radio gear or you're kind of stuck in 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.240 an apartment situation, check out remotehams 00:25:34.240 --> 00:25:37.640 .com, remotehams .com. Download that software 00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:42.140 and join us on 3930 kilohertz. Yeah, and we've 00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:45.259 got a comment here on the website from Clarence 00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:52.339 WDX5FOY. He's a shortwave listener and he says 00:25:52.339 --> 00:25:55.839 that he's listening to the program tonight and 00:25:55.839 --> 00:25:58.980 says you might say something about the shortwave 00:25:58.980 --> 00:26:03.180 listening monitoring that he tunes in on remote 00:26:03.180 --> 00:26:07.119 hams as well. So anything about the the SWLs? 00:26:07.210 --> 00:26:10.130 Well, we have a number that check in with us, 00:26:11.109 --> 00:26:13.789 and Clarence is certainly one that we see a lot 00:26:13.789 --> 00:26:17.029 on Remote Hams, but he's not the only one. There 00:26:17.029 --> 00:26:19.390 are a number of fellows that check in from all 00:26:19.390 --> 00:26:24.069 over the world. And not necessarily, we're getting 00:26:24.069 --> 00:26:26.710 some from Muslim countries, believe it or not. 00:26:27.089 --> 00:26:30.609 And so it's very interesting, the diversity of 00:26:30.609 --> 00:26:34.559 the individuals listening. in on our net each 00:26:34.559 --> 00:26:36.680 morning. It's kind of exciting. I've had some 00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.259 email conversations offline with them and been 00:26:39.259 --> 00:26:42.319 very wonderful conversations. A great fellowship 00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.880 we've had and it's good to uplift others and 00:26:45.880 --> 00:26:50.400 show the love of Christ. Alright, very good. 00:26:51.000 --> 00:26:55.509 Well again, the The phone number 812 -NET -HAM 00:26:55.509 --> 00:27:02.529 -1, 812 -638 -4261. Give us a call if you have 00:27:02.529 --> 00:27:05.930 something to add to the conversation or question 00:27:05.930 --> 00:27:11.250 for Brian. Be sure to call in 812 -NET -HAM -1 00:27:11.250 --> 00:27:16.730 or you can tweet us at HamTalk Live. While we're 00:27:16.730 --> 00:27:20.109 waiting for some more questions and comments 00:27:20.109 --> 00:27:22.849 to come in, Brian, what are some of the things 00:27:22.849 --> 00:27:27.089 that you'd like to see CARF accomplish in the 00:27:27.089 --> 00:27:29.710 future? Now, I know your three -year stint is 00:27:29.710 --> 00:27:32.210 up and you're going to be handing the reins over 00:27:32.210 --> 00:27:35.970 as president soon, but what are some of the things 00:27:35.970 --> 00:27:40.009 that you hope to see CARF doing in the future? 00:27:40.809 --> 00:27:43.829 I want to make sure that we continue to encourage 00:27:43.829 --> 00:27:46.349 ham radio operators in their daily walk with 00:27:46.349 --> 00:27:50.009 God by providing a solid net opportunity each 00:27:50.009 --> 00:27:52.630 morning and giving them an opportunity to become 00:27:52.630 --> 00:27:56.309 members of the organization to help lead and 00:27:56.309 --> 00:27:58.930 serve in that. There are many things we do and 00:27:58.930 --> 00:28:00.910 we'd love to have people come and be part of 00:28:00.910 --> 00:28:03.990 that. That's something we want to see more of. 00:28:04.470 --> 00:28:06.589 I obviously want to provide an opportunity to 00:28:06.589 --> 00:28:09.569 answer questions. about your personal relationship 00:28:09.569 --> 00:28:12.069 with God through Christ. We're here. We can answer 00:28:12.069 --> 00:28:14.109 them by email. We can answer them on the net. 00:28:14.670 --> 00:28:17.609 We're certainly open to conversations about that 00:28:17.609 --> 00:28:21.529 and answering any questions that ham radio operators 00:28:21.529 --> 00:28:25.160 may have. We're also looking for opportunities 00:28:25.160 --> 00:28:28.079 to combine our love of radio with helping to 00:28:28.079 --> 00:28:30.500 spread the gospel. We gave the example earlier 00:28:30.500 --> 00:28:33.400 of Radio Chosky down in Peru, and a wonderful 00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.019 opportunity there. We're always looking for things, 00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:37.759 so if you're out there and you're listening, 00:28:38.339 --> 00:28:41.359 and you've got an idea that we can help with, 00:28:41.539 --> 00:28:43.880 a way to bridge those two, we'd love to hear 00:28:43.880 --> 00:28:46.259 from you. We'd love to have you be part of the 00:28:46.259 --> 00:28:50.170 Christian Amateur Radio Fellowship. Okay, and 00:28:50.170 --> 00:28:55.589 Lloyd KC5FM has another question here. He wants 00:28:55.589 --> 00:28:58.269 to know if there's a prayer list for Ham Radio 00:28:58.269 --> 00:29:01.829 folks. Yes, there is. We maintain a prayer list 00:29:01.829 --> 00:29:05.369 and we keep each week that is updated faithfully 00:29:05.369 --> 00:29:08.089 and that way it's out there so the members can 00:29:08.089 --> 00:29:10.930 pray over other members, but it's not just members 00:29:10.930 --> 00:29:16.029 we pray for. We take in requests from Christians 00:29:16.380 --> 00:29:20.779 about any number of subjects. We encourage by 00:29:20.779 --> 00:29:23.079 praying for them and that is maintained each 00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:25.440 week and that way everybody can go over that 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:28.579 list and pray for these various individuals who 00:29:28.579 --> 00:29:34.339 need uplifting throughout the week. Very good. 00:29:34.619 --> 00:29:40.140 812 -NATAM -1 is the number or Skype us at HamTalk 00:29:40.140 --> 00:29:43.299 Live. We have a few minutes remaining so if you 00:29:43.299 --> 00:29:47.589 have something to ask Ask Brian feel free to 00:29:47.589 --> 00:29:50.990 jump in or something to comment on if you've 00:29:50.990 --> 00:29:55.910 had a an experience with car fly Jump on in here. 00:29:55.910 --> 00:29:59.750 It's eight one two net ham one eight one two 00:29:59.750 --> 00:30:07.029 six three eight four two six one Okay, I see 00:30:07.029 --> 00:30:10.509 Clarence added us maybe he'll call in here in 00:30:10.509 --> 00:30:14.470 a second see that that he's added us on Skype 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:22.880 How many people are typically checking in on 00:30:22.880 --> 00:30:27.559 a regular basis? We have, it varies of course, 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:31.339 anywhere from 15 to 25. Obviously during the 00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:34.240 summer months when 75 meter is not quite as favorable, 00:30:34.819 --> 00:30:37.579 it's harder to check in. But if you use remote 00:30:37.579 --> 00:30:39.920 hams and you combine that with the winter months, 00:30:40.420 --> 00:30:43.279 it's quite easy to get above 20 checking in each 00:30:43.279 --> 00:30:46.130 day. I think it's not the same people every day. 00:30:46.170 --> 00:30:48.789 There's obviously a schedule in there and people's 00:30:48.789 --> 00:30:50.849 lives vary. So we have different individuals 00:30:50.849 --> 00:30:55.809 checking in each of those days of the week. Very 00:30:55.809 --> 00:31:01.009 good. 812 -NET -HAM -1 is that number, 812 -638 00:31:01.009 --> 00:31:05.230 -4261. We'll give you a couple of more minutes 00:31:05.230 --> 00:31:11.500 to call in or chime in here on Our Christmas 00:31:11.500 --> 00:31:17.420 show with Brian Lynn, KD0HII, the president of 00:31:17.420 --> 00:31:22.160 Christian Amateur Radio Fellowship. Now I mentioned 00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:26.460 that you're going to be handing off the presidency 00:31:26.460 --> 00:31:30.480 soon. Tell us about the new group of officers 00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.440 coming in. What we have at three years is the 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:36.460 limit for our officers that you can serve consecutively. 00:31:36.759 --> 00:31:38.940 And we have a new president coming in next year, 00:31:39.279 --> 00:31:43.900 AC Zero, BD, Michael Miller. He's also an Iowan, 00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:46.940 not too far from me in Polk City, Iowa. He's 00:31:46.940 --> 00:31:49.440 our incoming president and he has served the 00:31:49.440 --> 00:31:52.539 past year as our vice president. It's exciting 00:31:52.539 --> 00:31:55.799 to have him join us. He's a father, a husband, 00:31:56.579 --> 00:31:59.529 a Boy Scout leader and a teacher. at one of the 00:31:59.529 --> 00:32:02.230 local high schools, and very much involved with 00:32:02.230 --> 00:32:05.289 young people, very excited about spreading the 00:32:05.289 --> 00:32:08.170 gospel and becoming more involved in the CARF 00:32:08.170 --> 00:32:11.329 group. We have a new officer this year, KAGAP, 00:32:11.390 --> 00:32:14.549 that's Mark, and he's out of Kentucky. He's joining 00:32:14.549 --> 00:32:17.089 us as our Vice President this year, and he's 00:32:17.089 --> 00:32:20.529 not served before. This is his first opportunity 00:32:20.529 --> 00:32:22.950 as an officer, so it's really good to have him 00:32:22.950 --> 00:32:26.710 aboard. And we have returning Secretary Treasurer 00:32:26.710 --> 00:32:31.420 in K4REE. Bob is a longtime member of CARF and 00:32:31.420 --> 00:32:34.000 he is also our webmaster. We're really, really 00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:36.339 pleased to have this group of officers going 00:32:36.339 --> 00:32:43.220 into 2017. Very good. Lloyd, again, wants to 00:32:43.220 --> 00:32:47.599 know when is all CARF check -in day and what's 00:32:47.599 --> 00:32:50.359 the record number of check -ins that you have? 00:32:51.000 --> 00:32:52.980 Well, he may stump me on the second one, but 00:32:52.980 --> 00:32:57.630 the first part of that is January 28th, 2017. 00:32:57.869 --> 00:33:00.609 That's a Saturday morning, and we encourage everybody 00:33:00.609 --> 00:33:02.829 to join in.

Our 00:33:05.589 --> 00:33:08.650 secretary treasurer probably does, but I don't. 00:33:08.670 --> 00:33:10.470 I know that we can have a lot of folks check 00:33:10.470 --> 00:33:12.990 in that day, particularly this past year.

Well, I got the antenna fixed, 00:34:46.429 --> 00:34:49.369 so that was another thing too. So I'll have to 00:34:49.369 --> 00:34:56.130 get back in there on the net.

Fortunately 00:35:31.739 --> 00:35:34.679 never on the morning. I was serving as net control 00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:37.260 Now that's always embarrassing if you're NCS 00:35:37.260 --> 00:35:39.440 and you oversleep that morning if that's not 00:35:39.440 --> 00:35:42.559 happened to me yet But it's always good to start 00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:45.039 the day with the fellowship.

I get up and listen to 00:35:48.739 --> 00:35:50.880 some guys, think about somebody else other than 00:35:50.880 --> 00:35:53.880 myself, get in some fellowship or devotional. 00:35:54.119 --> 00:35:56.059 Great way to start the day, an uplifting way 00:35:56.059 --> 00:35:59.960 to start the day at 3930 kilohertz Monday through 00:35:59.960 --> 00:36:03.659 Saturday at 1100 UTC in the summer and 1200 UTC 00:36:03.659 --> 00:36:05.800 in the winter.
