Karen Eve Murray, KD2GUT's writer at 00:05:58.379 --> 00:06:01.279 Amateur Radio Newsline, Amateur Radio's first 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.970 independent news and bulletin service. Karen 00:06:03.970 --> 00:06:06.790 began an interest in amateur radio at age 12, 00:06:06.970 --> 00:06:11.189 but waited until 2014 to take the test and officially 00:06:11.189 --> 00:06:14.449 become a ham. She quickly earned a general -class 00:06:14.449 --> 00:06:17.629 license and she's taken over the editing duties 00:06:17.629 --> 00:06:19.750 at Newsline after the passing of its founder 00:06:19.750 --> 00:06:23.990 Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF. Karen has spent most 00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:26.550 of her career working in print, but also had 00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:29.910 a brief stint in radio. She moved to New York 00:06:29.910 --> 00:06:32.790 City to write for New York Newsday until its 00:06:32.790 --> 00:06:37.540 end. in 1995 and then she transferred to Newsday's 00:06:37.540 --> 00:06:40.740 Long Island edition where she edits copy for 00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:44.100 the Daily Paper as well as its website. She is 00:06:44.100 --> 00:06:46.800 a member of the Great South Bay Amateur Radio 00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:51.199 Club where she is one of the editors for its 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.800 monthly newsletter. Besides news and ham radio, 00:06:54.980 --> 00:06:58.959 Karen's other passion is wildlife rehabilitation 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:04.649 and her specialty, well it's squirrels. So Karen's 00:07:04.649 --> 00:07:08.410 all about the squirrels. She also has a horse 00:07:08.410 --> 00:07:14.129 and she enjoys horse riding. And so we may talk 00:07:14.129 --> 00:07:16.449 about that a little bit too if we have some time 00:07:16.449 --> 00:07:19.089 here at the end. Karen, thanks for taking time 00:07:19.089 --> 00:07:21.949 out of your work break tonight to be on HamTalk 00:07:21.949 --> 00:07:26.629 Live. Thank you so much, Neil. Actually, it's 00:07:26.629 --> 00:07:29.819 good to take a break. from work and what's even 00:07:29.819 --> 00:07:32.160 better than taking a break from work is taking 00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:35.540 a break from work and playing radio. So I'm very 00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:38.240 happy to be here tonight. Yeah. One of the things 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:42.740 we often talk about is how our jobs get in the 00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:46.459 way of ham radio. You know, we need, we need 00:07:46.459 --> 00:07:50.319 the ham radio 24 seven and it just gets in the 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.240 way. Yes, it does. It does. I keep telling myself 00:07:55.240 --> 00:08:00.920 the job. pays for the ham radio, um, and the 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:04.319 job makes the ham radio possible. And in this 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:08.079 case, what's really nice is the job actually 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.959 is part of the reason I'm with amateur radio 00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:13.980 newsline now, because I was able to bring my 00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:18.060 newspaper skills to the table in order to really 00:08:18.060 --> 00:08:23.100 come back to radio. So it's all good. Yup. It's 00:08:23.100 --> 00:08:26.160 worked out really well. And, um, We've had Don 00:08:26.160 --> 00:08:29.899 on the show to tell us a little bit about the 00:08:29.899 --> 00:08:32.500 changes that's happened at Newsline in the last 00:08:32.500 --> 00:08:36.720 year or so. And we've heard his side of the story 00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:42.299 of how you ended up, you know, taking over Bill 00:08:42.299 --> 00:08:46.519 Pasternak's position with Newsline. But let's 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.419 hear it from your perspective. How did you come 00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:55.179 into that? Well, at the time I found out that 00:08:55.179 --> 00:08:58.480 there was a need for somebody, Bill was still 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:03.519 alive. I believe if memory serves me, what was 00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:09.820 happening is Bill was definitely quite ill and 00:09:09.820 --> 00:09:13.559 needed an assistant, someone who could pick up 00:09:13.559 --> 00:09:17.179 the slack and move the news line ahead while 00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:19.690 he... covered while he got his strength back. 00:09:20.129 --> 00:09:23.590 And I may have seen on, I think it was on Facebook, 00:09:25.309 --> 00:09:28.090 a posting looking for people. And it's like, 00:09:28.169 --> 00:09:31.629 hey, I haven't written for radio in ages. I really 00:09:31.629 --> 00:09:34.850 haven't. But radio has always been my first love. 00:09:35.230 --> 00:09:39.490 And so I sent a note off. At that point, it was 00:09:39.490 --> 00:09:43.110 to Skeeter, Skeeter Nash, one of our anchors 00:09:43.110 --> 00:09:47.590 and correspondents. Wrote him and waited a week 00:09:47.590 --> 00:09:51.370 waited another week But in the interim while 00:09:51.370 --> 00:09:55.610 I was waiting Bill unfortunately passed away 00:09:55.610 --> 00:09:59.330 and I just decided to sit tight. I wasn't sure 00:09:59.330 --> 00:10:04.269 what was going to be happening they Got back 00:10:04.269 --> 00:10:07.250 in touch with me. I think after a period of time 00:10:07.250 --> 00:10:14.330 both Skeeter and on Conted me and indicated that 00:10:14.330 --> 00:10:18.190 Bill had actually seen my resume in my note and 00:10:18.190 --> 00:10:21.929 really signed off on bringing me on board Which 00:10:21.929 --> 00:10:25.190 is about as close as I will ever get to knowing 00:10:25.190 --> 00:10:30.149 Bill Pasternak but it's nice to know at least 00:10:30.149 --> 00:10:34.350 he you know, he kind of tapped me for this and 00:10:34.350 --> 00:10:37.970 that it's With his blessing that we were able 00:10:37.970 --> 00:10:42.259 to go forward after his Death and we started 00:10:42.259 --> 00:10:45.820 up midsummer. I think it was sometime in July 00:10:45.820 --> 00:10:52.580 and we've been cranking ever since Yes Very good. 00:10:52.700 --> 00:10:57.980 Well, yeah bill bill put a lot into getting everything 00:10:57.980 --> 00:11:00.679 started and keeping everything going and we're 00:11:00.679 --> 00:11:04.019 so glad that you've been able to to pick up just 00:11:04.019 --> 00:11:07.960 at the nick of time to To take that over. So 00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:12.879 speaking of bill Tell us about this week's edition 00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.480 of Amich Radio Newsline that's going to be coming 00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:19.559 out tomorrow. I understand there's a special 00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:27.220 about Bill. Yes, I am so glad. The timing on 00:11:27.220 --> 00:11:29.720 this, Neil, could not be better. I'm so glad 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:33.200 you asked about that. We are especially proud 00:11:33.200 --> 00:11:38.210 of this week's newscast. because in addition 00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:42.269 to our two segments, which are strong news segments, 00:11:42.549 --> 00:11:45.129 and we try to bring variety every week. We try 00:11:45.129 --> 00:11:47.769 to bring some harder -edged news. We try to bring 00:11:47.769 --> 00:11:51.110 some lighter features. We announce a couple of 00:11:51.110 --> 00:11:55.009 things that are happening. We have news of BXing 00:11:55.009 --> 00:11:58.970 and legislation and whatever else is out there 00:11:58.970 --> 00:12:04.200 circulating. In the news and before we wrap up 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:09.440 for the week we added a third segment which comes 00:12:09.440 --> 00:12:14.620 on the first year anniversary of Of bills passing 00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:20.200 that segment was produced by Don will banks And 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.200 there are some segments in there of folks who 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.990 knew and worked with and cared for bill and We're 00:12:28.990 --> 00:12:33.509 buddies with Bill and we're just all about sharing 00:12:33.509 --> 00:12:36.909 Ham radio with him and having him as the strong 00:12:36.909 --> 00:12:42.509 influence in their lives. That's all I'm going 00:12:42.509 --> 00:12:44.649 to say about that because I want folks to listen. 00:12:44.730 --> 00:12:47.629 It is truly a beautiful, beautiful tribute to 00:12:47.629 --> 00:12:50.970 him. Helped me understand a little bit more about 00:12:50.970 --> 00:12:54.389 what Bill Pasternak was all about and why he 00:12:54.669 --> 00:12:58.490 kept amateur radio news line running successfully 00:12:58.490 --> 00:13:03.490 or as long as It ran and continues to run even 00:13:03.490 --> 00:13:06.309 with him gone that says an awful lot about Bill 00:13:06.309 --> 00:13:10.169 Pasternak So I encourage people to listen to 00:13:10.169 --> 00:13:13.929 the whole newscast, but please Stick around for 00:13:13.929 --> 00:13:16.929 that third segment. It's it's worth. It's worth 00:13:16.929 --> 00:13:20.289 hearing And if somebody wants to listen to news 00:13:20.289 --> 00:13:22.529 line and they haven't been listening to news 00:13:22.529 --> 00:13:29.690 line How should they do that? Well, the simplest 00:13:29.690 --> 00:13:35.629 way is, of course, the website www .arnewsline 00:13:35.629 --> 00:13:39.490 .org. That's the easiest way to download the 00:13:39.490 --> 00:13:44.269 podcast. If you're lucky enough to have a repeater 00:13:44.269 --> 00:13:49.809 that broadcasts us in connection with a weekly 00:13:49.809 --> 00:13:54.809 net, by all means, Listen there. Most of our 00:13:54.809 --> 00:13:59.629 listeners usually hear it one of those two ways. 00:14:00.009 --> 00:14:02.690 That's the simplest. Some folks even just go 00:14:02.690 --> 00:14:07.129 to the website and read the script. But honestly, 00:14:07.190 --> 00:14:11.730 this week, if anything is worth the extra effort 00:14:11.730 --> 00:14:15.129 to hear the newscast, it's to hear all those 00:14:15.129 --> 00:14:19.570 voices talking about Bill. You can feel the emotion. 00:14:19.809 --> 00:14:23.580 You can feel the love for Bill. So I encourage 00:14:23.580 --> 00:14:28.740 folks to find some way to get an addition to 00:14:28.740 --> 00:14:33.539 listen to. Okay, so it's carried on many repeaters 00:14:33.539 --> 00:14:36.159 around the country, so you'll just have to check 00:14:36.159 --> 00:14:40.899 the list and see. And then the other way is arnewsline 00:14:40.899 --> 00:14:45.940 .org just to recap all of that to check out Amateur 00:14:45.940 --> 00:14:48.340 Radio Newsline this week. And that comes out 00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:53.919 sometime tomorrow, right? Yes, indeed. Just a 00:14:53.919 --> 00:14:57.639 few hours from now, so it will be available. 00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.039 Obviously, folks who are on Facebook can see 00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.200 a preview of the script that's posted up on Facebook 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.659 on our amateur radio newsline Facebook page. 00:15:08.259 --> 00:15:15.720 But again, for a real treat, find the newscast, 00:15:15.860 --> 00:15:20.740 listen to the newscast. We have one of our correspondence, 00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:25.679 making his debut as an anchor. It was a wonderful 00:15:25.679 --> 00:15:29.960 effort on his part. I think as great a team as 00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.639 we have on Newsline, and my goodness, we do have 00:15:32.639 --> 00:15:37.500 quite a team, this particular edition, everybody 00:15:37.500 --> 00:15:40.779 worked extra hard to make this happen. And we're 00:15:40.779 --> 00:15:43.480 talking about a team that spans the globe here. 00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:47.000 We've got everybody on board for this. And I 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:52.870 think, Bill would be proud. Bill would be very 00:15:52.870 --> 00:15:57.830 proud, I suspect. I think so too, and I look 00:15:57.830 --> 00:16:01.769 forward to getting that released out in the public 00:16:01.769 --> 00:16:06.830 eye tomorrow. So, as I've read your scripts, 00:16:07.289 --> 00:16:10.070 a lot of your scripts kind of reflect Bill's 00:16:10.070 --> 00:16:13.789 writing, but I noticed that it seems like just 00:16:13.789 --> 00:16:17.250 about every script that I get to read anyway. 00:16:17.529 --> 00:16:22.009 um commonly you'll take multiple perspectives 00:16:22.009 --> 00:16:26.870 on a story and put kind of a happy turn at the 00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:31.070 end a feel -good turn and and i guess it's so 00:16:31.070 --> 00:16:34.309 different from what we get in the headlines of 00:16:34.309 --> 00:16:37.570 just regular news all the time so how did you 00:16:37.570 --> 00:16:40.710 how did you come up with that style of of writing 00:16:40.710 --> 00:16:47.679 to do that well unless the story is Some straightforward 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:52.179 news like for instance legislation Something 00:16:52.179 --> 00:16:58.799 like a tragedy Well when it's more feature II 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:01.320 we like to be able to bring it to life a little 00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:07.380 more it's it's a luxury we have because We come 00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:11.059 out once a week, so we are not really looking 00:17:11.059 --> 00:17:14.119 at being competitive the way daily journalism 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:18.519 is you know by the time we've produced Our newscast 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:21.279 the news is old. I mean here in the newspaper 00:17:21.279 --> 00:17:23.619 business. It's different because every moment 00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:26.779 Your stories are evolving and at least in the 00:17:26.779 --> 00:17:29.819 case of a newspaper website or any web -based 00:17:29.819 --> 00:17:32.700 news product You can change moment to moment 00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:36.710 much like broadcasts But with the amateur radio 00:17:36.710 --> 00:17:40.269 news line, we need to package it a little differently. 00:17:40.430 --> 00:17:43.049 We need it to have legs for a whole week. We 00:17:43.049 --> 00:17:46.609 need it to be relevant so that people won't listen 00:17:46.609 --> 00:17:49.049 and say, ah, that's old news. What do I need 00:17:49.049 --> 00:17:52.390 that for? We want it to make sense to them. We 00:17:52.390 --> 00:17:55.490 want them to be entertained. And my goodness, 00:17:55.569 --> 00:17:57.789 there's a lot of stuff out there that's just 00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:02.140 plain funny. or at least amusing or worth smiling 00:18:02.140 --> 00:18:06.059 at, unusual things we've come across. One of 00:18:06.059 --> 00:18:10.599 the first reports I remember doing when I was 00:18:10.599 --> 00:18:13.539 still getting accustomed to writing for AR Newsline 00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:17.299 was a report out of Ireland. It was a wedding 00:18:17.299 --> 00:18:21.339 between two radio amateurs, and I don't know 00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:24.720 if it was held at the Ham Club, but we had some 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.799 fun with that. We have indeed had some Some cute 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:34.799 stuff our main purpose Of course is to let folks 00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:39.180 know what's going on Let them know if an Aries 00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:44.720 Aries Hams have responded in a tragedy how they 00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:47.440 did what they did the fact that they succeeded 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.579 and that's certainly part of this week's report 00:18:49.579 --> 00:18:53.000 But the point is it's also okay to have fun. 00:18:53.059 --> 00:18:56.940 It's okay to be a little entertained News can 00:18:56.940 --> 00:19:02.380 be funny And, uh, we had an interesting one, 00:19:02.380 --> 00:19:06.440 uh, this week with a, uh, I don't want to give 00:19:06.440 --> 00:19:08.660 too much away here because we want people to 00:19:08.660 --> 00:19:11.839 listen, but, uh, we had a, an interesting, uh, 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.160 story this week that, that was mine that, uh, 00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:22.480 involved, uh, a lighthouse. Yes. Yes. Um, that 00:19:22.480 --> 00:19:26.799 was in Canada. Yes. So you'll have to. have to 00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.700 listen to that but that was one of those those 00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:32.759 feel -good stories and and so we appreciate those 00:19:32.759 --> 00:19:36.599 and um so I guess the the next question is so 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.220 so how does that compare to your your day job 00:19:40.220 --> 00:19:43.900 in in print and do you get tired of writing or 00:19:43.900 --> 00:19:50.539 does that variety of the immediate hard -hitting 00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:55.539 uh style that you do day in and day out does 00:19:55.589 --> 00:19:59.849 Does the news line style add some variety to 00:19:59.849 --> 00:20:03.829 that? Oh, absolutely. I think it's, it's the 00:20:03.829 --> 00:20:06.809 difference between, uh, the difference between 00:20:06.809 --> 00:20:10.289 walking and dancing. Okay. In the newspaper business, 00:20:10.490 --> 00:20:14.170 we walk most of the time, uh, because you've 00:20:14.170 --> 00:20:16.269 got to be straightforward. You've got to put 00:20:16.269 --> 00:20:18.369 one foot in front of the other and you have to 00:20:18.369 --> 00:20:21.650 very, very carefully craft your story and make 00:20:21.650 --> 00:20:26.950 sure it's news. the news is accurate. You have 00:20:26.950 --> 00:20:29.890 to get all the facts out there that you can. 00:20:29.990 --> 00:20:36.450 And it's, it's laborious. It's, it's craft. With 00:20:36.450 --> 00:20:41.930 the features on Newsline, it's, it's a way to 00:20:41.930 --> 00:20:46.430 kick back and breathe a little bit. And I think 00:20:46.430 --> 00:20:50.150 it's a good blend of the two. Newspapering typically 00:20:51.140 --> 00:20:54.279 You put your your hard -edged stuff up front 00:20:54.279 --> 00:20:56.880 and and we do that as well in the news line report 00:20:56.880 --> 00:21:00.400 But I think we have the ability to intermingle 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:04.980 it and to break it up a little bit here so that 00:21:04.980 --> 00:21:09.460 Folks don't get too depressed by by the the unfortunate 00:21:09.460 --> 00:21:12.880 stuff by the the earthquake stories and the wildfire 00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:16.319 stories and the flood stories All of which, you 00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:18.859 know required ham intervention and we report 00:21:18.859 --> 00:21:24.029 on that or the news of the silent keys and prominent 00:21:24.029 --> 00:21:28.690 silent keys in the ham community. We also report 00:21:28.690 --> 00:21:33.730 on people achieving and we interview interesting 00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:39.650 unusual hams. We spoke, we had an interview with 00:21:39.650 --> 00:21:44.470 quite a older ham who was making, must have been 00:21:44.470 --> 00:21:49.279 his 20th trip to Dayton. So we got a perspective 00:21:49.279 --> 00:21:52.720 from him. How nice, how nice that all of this 00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.960 is out there in our universe and all we have 00:21:54.960 --> 00:21:57.660 to do is reach out and, and there are people 00:21:57.660 --> 00:22:00.220 they're willing to talk. Hands are great talkers 00:22:00.220 --> 00:22:04.299 as you know, and, uh, this is just one big rag 00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:08.240 chew. Very good. Well, what's your, what's your 00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:13.819 favorite part of doing Newsline? Gee, you know, 00:22:13.819 --> 00:22:18.750 I thought about that question. I think. I could 00:22:18.750 --> 00:22:21.329 take the easy route and say, oh, Neil, it's the 00:22:21.329 --> 00:22:23.130 writing. I love the writing. I never get tired 00:22:23.130 --> 00:22:25.450 of the writing. And that's true. That's true. 00:22:25.549 --> 00:22:29.150 But you know what? I can write. I can write for 00:22:29.150 --> 00:22:32.170 my newsletter. I can write for a magazine. I 00:22:32.170 --> 00:22:34.789 can write for anybody. I think the best part 00:22:34.789 --> 00:22:38.509 about Newsline in particular is the teamwork. 00:22:39.529 --> 00:22:43.509 We have amazing talent. We have good people. 00:22:44.269 --> 00:22:48.309 These guys are just... Very cool. Very fun. Very 00:22:48.309 --> 00:22:51.869 crazy. Uh, put us all in one room one day and 00:22:51.869 --> 00:22:57.410 watch out. We, we do have a very good time and 00:22:57.410 --> 00:23:01.990 everybody is committed to doing their very best. 00:23:02.210 --> 00:23:04.950 We're all volunteers. I mean, how good is that? 00:23:04.950 --> 00:23:08.910 We are here because we want to be here. And I 00:23:08.910 --> 00:23:11.549 think there's, there's something to be said for 00:23:11.549 --> 00:23:17.799 that. I totally agree. Well, we're gonna take 00:23:17.799 --> 00:23:21.019 a break.

While we're waiting for some calls, 00:25:54.220 --> 00:25:57.779 what would you like to see in the future? Where 00:25:57.779 --> 00:26:07.920 do you see amateur radio news line heading? What 00:26:07.920 --> 00:26:12.279 I would like to see is more more back -and -forth 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:16.440 work with the listeners More distribution in 00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:20.740 chance all Down the line down the line not not 00:26:20.740 --> 00:26:24.859 this year But definitely more interactivity with 00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:29.420 listeners. I'd like between Newscasts to engage 00:26:29.420 --> 00:26:32.539 the listeners in in more dialogue. I think that 00:26:32.539 --> 00:26:36.019 will help them take ownership of this as their 00:26:36.019 --> 00:26:42.690 newscast It will make them have more of a sense 00:26:42.690 --> 00:26:47.390 of input. And I think it will build community. 00:26:49.609 --> 00:26:52.789 And Ham Radio is about community. We are a community. 00:26:53.210 --> 00:26:58.529 We are a global community. And having that kind 00:26:58.529 --> 00:27:01.190 of interactivity in this age, in this day and 00:27:01.190 --> 00:27:04.569 age, with the technology that we have, I think 00:27:04.569 --> 00:27:09.569 it would be easy enough to create that. We do 00:27:09.569 --> 00:27:13.650 get an awful lot of news tips and we rely on 00:27:13.650 --> 00:27:16.210 that. We get contributions from people. We rely 00:27:16.210 --> 00:27:19.269 on that. But, you know, I think having greater 00:27:19.269 --> 00:27:25.650 interactivity from our constituents would build 00:27:25.650 --> 00:27:34.170 a stronger responsiveness. And I think Bigger 00:27:34.170 --> 00:27:37.009 better news line. I don't think we need to grow 00:27:37.009 --> 00:27:40.170 in size or in length We we did pare down and 00:27:40.170 --> 00:27:45.529 that was actually one of Bill's Final recommendations 00:27:45.529 --> 00:27:48.769 last year. He thought we could go shorter lighter 00:27:48.769 --> 00:27:51.710 brighter and tighter and indeed it is a better 00:27:51.710 --> 00:27:57.470 newscast with with a shortened version, but I 00:27:57.470 --> 00:28:03.569 Think getting folks greater greater participation 00:28:03.569 --> 00:28:08.049 would would really be the icing on the cake very 00:28:08.049 --> 00:28:11.730 good very good well let's let's talk a minute 00:28:11.730 --> 00:28:16.430 and by the way out there listen if you're out 00:28:16.430 --> 00:28:20.049 there listening net ham one that's the phone 00:28:20.049 --> 00:28:24.990 number 812 net ham one give us a call if you 00:28:24.990 --> 00:28:30.309 have a question for Karen Eve Murray I can't 00:28:30.309 --> 00:28:35.140 let this go by without at least talking about 00:28:35.140 --> 00:28:39.400 squirrels because you just have this this thing 00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:41.900 about squirrels tell us about the squirrels and 00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:45.220 and i'm going to play the the squirrel background 00:28:45.220 --> 00:28:48.779 here you've heard this before so i knew this 00:28:48.779 --> 00:28:51.400 was coming yes you knew this was going to happen 00:28:53.459 --> 00:28:58.140 Tell us about the squirrels. Well, first of all, 00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:03.160 I issue with disclaimer here. My squirrels are 00:29:03.160 --> 00:29:06.920 not the coax eating type. They have not eaten 00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:10.880 any of my coax. I have plenty of coax and there 00:29:10.880 --> 00:29:14.579 is not a tooth mark to be found on any of my 00:29:14.579 --> 00:29:19.079 coax. So that I just want to say in defense and 00:29:19.079 --> 00:29:25.470 I rest my case. I got my New York State license 00:29:25.470 --> 00:29:29.589 to rehabilitate wildlife long before I got my 00:29:29.589 --> 00:29:36.009 FCC license for amateur radio. I'm now, oh I 00:29:36.009 --> 00:29:37.869 don't want to say semi -retired, but I'm not 00:29:37.869 --> 00:29:41.630 as active taking in orphaned and injured wildlife. 00:29:42.150 --> 00:29:45.490 It is very time consuming and unfortunately I 00:29:45.490 --> 00:29:48.950 don't have the time I used to. But it is rewarding 00:29:48.950 --> 00:29:55.269 to work with these animals and to get them in 00:29:55.269 --> 00:29:57.210 good enough shape that they can go back into 00:29:57.210 --> 00:30:00.730 the wild and we take them to the woods where 00:30:00.730 --> 00:30:04.769 they can resume their lives far from other people's 00:30:04.769 --> 00:30:10.490 coax. And have you come up with a training program 00:30:10.490 --> 00:30:14.430 to make sure that they stay away from coax? A 00:30:14.430 --> 00:30:17.309 few of them come up to me when I was when I was 00:30:17.309 --> 00:30:19.910 studying for my tech and then my general and 00:30:19.910 --> 00:30:22.150 I was it was a summer I was sitting outside on 00:30:22.150 --> 00:30:24.369 the deck a few of them came up and jumped up 00:30:24.369 --> 00:30:26.470 on my lap and looked at my study guide and I 00:30:26.470 --> 00:30:29.829 thought you know I could get licenses for them 00:30:29.829 --> 00:30:32.210 and then they would understand the importance 00:30:32.210 --> 00:30:35.609 of staying off the coax. And then we could have 00:30:35.609 --> 00:30:40.089 squirrels on the air. Squirrels on the SOTA. 00:30:40.089 --> 00:30:44.710 We like that. And of course, the ones on the 00:30:44.710 --> 00:30:47.390 air are the flying squirrels. I could train them 00:30:47.390 --> 00:30:52.130 to hang the dipoles. I mean, there's a whole 00:30:52.130 --> 00:30:55.650 untapped market here for getting squirrels into 00:30:55.650 --> 00:31:01.390 ham radio. But these guys, the property and back 00:31:01.390 --> 00:31:03.650 of the house, we do have nest boxes for them. 00:31:03.950 --> 00:31:07.150 And we believe in live and let live, I think. 00:31:07.730 --> 00:31:11.509 They need to be where they need to be, and we 00:31:11.509 --> 00:31:14.529 need to be where we are, and it's really mutual 00:31:14.529 --> 00:31:19.750 respect. And it's been a good run. But I think 00:31:19.750 --> 00:31:25.430 now we just look out for them. And we still love 00:31:25.430 --> 00:31:31.210 them, but just not as busily as we used to. We 00:31:31.210 --> 00:31:33.670 don't have a little nursery in the house with 00:31:33.670 --> 00:31:37.339 the newborns anymore. And we also have to mention 00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:42.880 the horse. Ah, the horse, yes. The horse is an 00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:47.319 acquisition from last year. You mentioned at 00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:51.359 the start of the program that around age 12 I 00:31:51.359 --> 00:31:54.859 wanted my license. At the time that would have 00:31:54.859 --> 00:31:57.519 been the novice. There was something else I wanted 00:31:57.519 --> 00:32:02.299 at age 12 and that was a horse. So it took me 00:32:02.299 --> 00:32:06.789 my lifetime to get both. And he's a wonderful 00:32:06.789 --> 00:32:11.069 horse. He's worth waiting for. He's a good guy. 00:32:11.890 --> 00:32:15.190 And I'm back to riding after many, many years 00:32:15.190 --> 00:32:20.589 of not. And now, as you say, our jobs get in 00:32:20.589 --> 00:32:24.230 the way of ham radio. The horse doesn't get in 00:32:24.230 --> 00:32:26.849 the way of ham radio. But when I'm on the horse, 00:32:26.930 --> 00:32:29.069 I think I could be on the air. When I'm on the 00:32:29.069 --> 00:32:32.069 air, I think I could be on the horse. So wherever 00:32:32.069 --> 00:32:35.069 you are, wherever you are, you're thinking where 00:32:35.069 --> 00:32:40.029 else you could be. But this horse is an awesome 00:32:40.029 --> 00:32:45.769 quarter horse and he's nine years old. And there 00:32:45.769 --> 00:32:48.450 is a picture on our Facebook page. We've got 00:32:48.450 --> 00:32:53.390 a picture of Karen on the horse. So if you want 00:32:53.390 --> 00:32:56.569 to check that out, you can go to our Facebook 00:32:56.569 --> 00:33:01.940 page. We can probably get an HT to take along 00:33:01.940 --> 00:33:05.799 maybe one day on a trail ride. Maybe hit a repeater 00:33:05.799 --> 00:33:11.039 and activate the horse. So we've got aeronautical 00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:13.900 mobile and maritime mobile. Would that be an 00:33:13.900 --> 00:33:17.500 equine mobile? Equine mobile. There you go. Equine 00:33:17.500 --> 00:33:20.920 mobile. I'm going to find out if we can't perhaps 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.940 get a new category going for equine mobile. Now 00:33:23.940 --> 00:33:26.539 when I was a kid, I had bicycle mobile. I had 00:33:26.539 --> 00:33:31.000 a little gel cell pack underneath the banana 00:33:31.000 --> 00:33:37.019 seat. And the radio in the basket. And a magnet 00:33:37.019 --> 00:33:40.900 mount on the back of the seat. And I had a bicycle 00:33:40.900 --> 00:33:46.539 mobile. Very nice. Now I imagine it was a metal 00:33:46.539 --> 00:33:52.119 frame bicycle. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. So, you 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.849 know, that's... And and you were on you were 00:33:55.849 --> 00:34:00.390 on what two two meters? Yeah, yeah that was that 00:34:00.390 --> 00:34:04.150 was on two meters and actually it was some 11 00:34:04.150 --> 00:34:07.170 meters too, but we won't talk about that but 00:34:07.170 --> 00:34:12.829 but yeah And and I can I've done and I've done 00:34:12.829 --> 00:34:19.389 pool Mobile to cool. Oh Living dangerously. Yes. 00:34:19.550 --> 00:34:23.449 Yes. I've done for a little too. No, no No, just 00:34:23.449 --> 00:34:26.989 that would be for propagation. Yeah. Yeah that 00:34:26.989 --> 00:34:35.650 might help but no So equine mobile think about 00:34:35.650 --> 00:34:39.949 that we may be on something here So I think we 00:34:39.949 --> 00:34:43.150 could get more than a few people to help with 00:34:43.150 --> 00:34:50.059 that. In fact my own club I The wife, the X, 00:34:50.059 --> 00:34:54.980 Y, L of one of our members is involved in horses. 00:34:55.079 --> 00:34:57.780 She just now got her tech and they're trying 00:34:57.780 --> 00:35:03.280 to figure out a way to blend the two universes. 00:35:03.980 --> 00:35:07.320 Perhaps if ever there are wildfires out there 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:12.000 to do equine evacuation safely because out east 00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:16.500 is horse country. So that's a smart. good use 00:35:16.500 --> 00:35:21.920 of ham radio as With so many things in emergency 00:35:21.920 --> 00:35:27.360 work now the squirrel mobile. I'm not sure Yeah, 00:35:27.360 --> 00:35:30.659 itty -bitty radios itty -bitty itty -bitty -bitty 00:35:30.659 --> 00:35:33.860 -bitty radios wouldn't know no, and I think they 00:35:33.860 --> 00:35:38.179 would chew chew those Definitely you would you 00:35:38.179 --> 00:35:40.679 would get much of a signal after about ten minutes 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:42.900 It looks good, and they chomp down on it, and 00:35:42.900 --> 00:35:47.639 that would be it Yeah, yeah, probably not good, 00:35:47.639 --> 00:35:52.019 but a line gray line propagation But I like the 00:35:52.019 --> 00:35:56.659 idea of the dipoles though helping hang the dipoles 00:35:56.659 --> 00:35:59.139 That could be that could be very good. Maybe 00:35:59.139 --> 00:36:02.820 we should try that for field day Well, it's coming 00:36:02.820 --> 00:36:06.480 up like squirrels. So yeah Two weeks from now. 00:36:06.699 --> 00:36:09.880 I may raise that with the club too. It's like 00:36:09.880 --> 00:36:12.639 hey, you know, we do have a native Flying squirrel 00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:16.480 population here. Let's get some wire. Tie an 00:36:16.480 --> 00:36:20.019 acorn to the end. See what they do with it. There 00:36:20.019 --> 00:36:24.960 you go. Sounds like a plan to me. 40 meters, 00:36:25.239 --> 00:36:27.780 flying squirrel. Yep, there we go. The flying 00:36:27.780 --> 00:36:30.760 squirrel antenna. Maybe you can market that. 00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:35.599 Yeah, why not? Well, you know what? Check the 00:36:35.599 --> 00:36:39.320 next catalog. That comes your way and you'll 00:36:39.320 --> 00:36:43.420 see somebody put that in there. Wait a minute, 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:46.980 this was our idea on HamTalk Live. How dare you? 00:36:46.980 --> 00:36:50.239 I can hear the calls to the ham station right 00:36:50.239 --> 00:36:53.079 now. Hey, do you carry the flying squirrel antenna? 00:36:53.719 --> 00:36:58.440 There you go. Or you know, I hear a lot of chatter 00:36:58.440 --> 00:37:01.260 on the line. Oh no, that's just the squirrel. 00:37:01.659 --> 00:37:06.000 That's just the squirrel. That's the squirrel. 00:37:09.889 --> 00:37:12.469 Well, Karen, I know you've got to get back to 00:37:12.469 --> 00:37:15.750 work, so we are going to let you go, but thanks 00:37:15.750 --> 00:37:18.969 so much for taking time to be on the show tonight, 00:37:19.070 --> 00:37:23.409 and we'll be looking forward to that special 00:37:23.409 --> 00:37:28.090 edition of Newsline coming out tomorrow.
