All Episodes

August 4, 2025 109 mins

Picture this: a stunning sunset view from 13,000 feet, radio in hand, making contacts while floating gently down to Earth. That's exactly what Paul (N1OG) experienced during his milestone 50th skydive, bringing together his twin passions of ham radio and skydiving in spectacular fashion.

In this episode, we dive deep into planning our upcoming 24-hour Parks on the Air activation at Greenfield State Park in New Hampshire. This isn't just any POTA event—it's a full-blown ham radio celebration with multiple operating positions, livestreaming throughout, and a $5,000 fundraising goal for the ARRL Teachers Institute.

We break down all the logistics: from setting up the perfect antenna farm with a buddy hex and bandpass filters to meal planning (BBQ dinner, anyone?), and possible parachute mobile operations from nearby Pepperell Skydive Center. The event will feature both SSB and digital operations running simultaneously, with dedicated hangout areas for when you need a break from the airwaves.

Todd continues his journey toward his Extra Class license, tackling questions about MOSFETs, ASCII code, and flip-flops—with varying degrees of success. Meanwhile, we share stories from recent activations, including Paul and Carlos's adventure at Princeton Wildlife Refuge that included an unexpected detour due to a very poorly timed train.

Whether you're planning to join us in person for this epic radio weekend or tune in to the livestream, this episode gives you everything you need to know about what might be the most ambitious amateur radio event we've ever attempted. Will we make our fundraising goal? Can we truly stay on the air for 24 straight hours? Will Todd remember what a "high pull" is without his Massachusetts accent getting in the way? Only one way to find out!

Sign up by August 8th through the link in our show notes if you'd like to attend either for the day or the full weekend. Bring your radio, your appetite, and your stories—this is one ham radio gathering you won't want to miss.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, we're three guys with a microphone and a
podcast.
Next on Live Free in Ham.
All right, hello and welcome toLive Free in Ham podcast.
This is our weekly show wherewe discuss ham radio topics in
New Hampshire, new England andbeyond.
We're thrilled to have you here, whether you're a regular
listener or maybe you're tuningin for the first time.
Hopefully you enjoy thisepisode.
It's going to be fun.
So with that, let's get intoour show.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
I'm your host, eric, call sign N1JUR and I'm with
Paul.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
N1OG the grouch.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Todd W1STJ, the general.
I should update this script.
I still have salty waltz in it.
All right, that's how old thisthing is, all right.
So before we get into our topic,we've got a few things we're
going to catch up on.
So, as always, head on over toour storefront at live brain
hamcom forward slash shop.
You can check out all our merch, pick up a bacon, have a pack
of our hammies or maybe you'reinto a couple of new shirts.

(00:55):
We're always adding stuff tothat storefront, so make sure
you check back there frequently,love to have you wear and style
all our great ham radio stuffand support and show off a live
ham.
So, as always, you can connectwith our community, and we
always do that in a coupledifferent ways.
We've got our discord.
As always, you can head overand all our links are in our

(01:15):
show notes description and ourwebsite and you can then choose
to connect with the community or, you know, once a month and
actually shoot.
I just realized that we haven'tscheduled our live stream and we
have one more day left to theend of the month.
We may be doing another, youknow, june, july thing.
So yeah, with that, you know,obviously you may have learned

(01:38):
that we do a live stream once amonth and we don't know when
we're going to do it, and so nordo you.
So the only way you can know isbecome a subscriber and make
sure you hit that bell and it'llnotify you when we go live, um,
and as always, you know, heck,if you want to come be part of
the show maybe you've got acouple of questions you want to
provide some feedback?
We have a bunch of ways you cando that, um, and you can do

(01:58):
that through our uh, sms andemail links that are all in the
description and on our website.
Or you can do the fun thing andleave us a voicemail at
978-233-1142.
And we will play it on our nextepisode.
And feel free, use that foranything, guys.
That's basically what it'sthere for.
We want to, you know, interactwith you.
Guys.
We want to share some stuff.
We want to hopefully solve someof the world's bigger issues.

(02:21):
Maybe at least in ham radiomight be good enough.
Either way, yeah, leave us amessage and we will share the
next episode.
So, if you'd like to support ourshow as always, we thank all of
those that are strongsupporters of the show Um, and
you can do that through ourPatreon and a bias, a beer links
, and those are, uh alwaysavailable, again, in all of our

(02:42):
show notes and on our website.
But, again, if you're a patronmember, you can easily get
access to a lot of really goodstuff.
Our early access to showreleases are uncut, unfettered
content that most of the folksin the public domain and our
mainstream don't get a chance tohear unless you listen to last
week's episode and I messed up.

(03:03):
However, that works out, um,you know, every once in a while,
a little, uh, you know, blindsquirrel gets his nut and you
got your nut that one time.
So, uh, with that, as always,you know, and and we always, uh,
you say this, but, uh, you know, it doesn't cost a whole lot to
be a subscriber, to uh, livefree and ham and support the
show, and we always play our onemessage to back that up.

(03:25):
Are you playing through?
You can join for as little asthree hours a month.
It's not a big expense.
There we go.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Well, it took a second because I needed to do a
reboot, and I didn't get to doit.

Speaker 1 (03:43):
So you could.
You could put a pause in here.
We'll put a pin if you want,and you can see Todd's already
rebooting.
Plug ahead, paul, reboot.
Well, let's keep going here.
I'll just talk to myself for alittle bit while you guys are
going and recycling there.
So, as always, there we go.
Come on, todd Jump in.
Oh no, he's having cameraproblems again.

(04:04):
What do you break?
And he was going good so far,oh well, alright.
Well, with that you can get allof our great uncut and
unfettered information showstuff like this perfect episode
here.
Sort of little $3 a month.
So outside of that, do we gotanything in the mailbag?
Do we have any win links at all, paul?

Speaker 2 (04:27):
I have two win links.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
Whoa, oh yes.
Well, I would expect we shouldsee one.
I'm almost banking on one, so Iguess with that, then let's
roll our mailbag there.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
Ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your
attention?
I've just been handed an urgentand horrifying news story.
Hello everybody, we got somenews.
Slow down, boog, let me handlethis.
We've got some news, I've gotbad news and bad news.
I have reviewed ship'spersonnel.
Captain, congratulations,you've got mail.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
There we go.
You guys see me?
Uh, okay, do guys see me?
Uh, okay, do you see me?
Why?

Speaker 3 (05:12):
yes, we're gonna figure this out.
Somehow you gotta tell me I wason before and you're like I
said I wasn't there, do you seeyourself?
Okay, asshole, I saw myselfbefore and you guys are like
well, I guess Todd will comeback at some point and I'm
sitting right here.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
I love these shows Okay.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
I'm afraid that if Paul and I get into it, if at
the 24-hour poda we haven't beenhanging out much, we're going
to wrestle.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
It might be, rattle it might be.
It's okay, if we have to, we'llhave our moderator step in
between you guys and figure thatout, or it just might be paul
and I just trashing everyone fora whole weekend if that's the
case, then I'm gonna have tofigure out how we can invest in
one of those inflatable rock'emsock'em robot.
You guys in there, after acouple have it out there.
All right, well with that, yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
What have you got in the Winlink mailbag today?
All right, the first emailcomes to us from
Whiskey8KiloNovemberXray and hesent us an email with the
subject line Hello, fromEveryday Ham.
He writes.
Finally, remember to fire upthe win link and drop you guys a
line over at the Live Free andHam podcast.

(06:35):
Gotta keep the win link.
Network warm 73, rory Whiskey,8 Kilo, november X-Ray the
Everyday Ham podcast sweet yeah,those guys rock over there,
always love to hear from them.

Speaker 1 (06:48):
And Rory Whiskey 8, kilo November X-Ray the Everyday
Ham podcast Sweet yeah, thoseguys rock over there.
Always love to hear from themand they've been doing good.
If you haven't realized thatthey were on as guests a while
back, you can dive back a coupleepisodes.
And we had them on and it wasgreat fun to hang out.
There are younger versiondoppelgangers of us.
I think that's how we relate tothem a little bit.
I think that's how we relate tothem a little bit.
So pretty cool to see.
You know another similarpodcast out there, like us, but
just very different.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, they're the younger Michigan version of us.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Yes, and more put together.
I'd have to say, Like you know,we don't always have our
roll-ins good, we don't have ourscripts together.
We don't sound professional allthe time you know we're just
the way we are.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
We need.

Speaker 1 (07:24):
Don't have our scripts together we don't sound
professional all the time.
You know we need, we need toproduce, we need a producer.
You heard it yep, step up, paul.
Paul needs a social mediamanager.
We need a producer for the show.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
I should ask my brother to do it.
That's what he used to do forwork, like for yeah radio, to
edit our stuff.
He's got a whole studio in hishouse.
Be like what does that do forus well, he can link into us and
you can just push through whatyou guys try to do.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Okay, well, you get on that after you finish all of
the other sponsor stuff that weneed to do for a 24-hour photo
sponsor stuff yeah, remember thegiveaway prizes we talked about
.
We'll get.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Oh yeah, I just want to give away folks.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
Why are we giving?
Why are we giving stuff?

Speaker 3 (08:06):
away what we don't have nothing.
We have nothing to give away oh, we have plenty of stuff.

Speaker 1 (08:13):
We got matt to give away.
You know we're sorry.
Matt's intent is to give away,not matt.
Yeah, we're giving away mattthis year and we got a couple
other stuff coming in the mix,so, oh good, so we'll talk about
that in a bit, but anyway, soyou had one win link.
I know you said you had two, sowhat's the other one?

Speaker 2 (08:31):
all right, yeah, win.
Link number two comes to usfrom kilo delta, nine yankee,
sierra whiskey, uh.
And he writes, uh.
Subject the week of July 28th,which is this week.
And he says, well, it's thelast week of July and really

(08:52):
humid, with the new job Standingnext to 1700 degree furnace to
make cast iron sinks look niceis not that easy or cool?
No kidding, is not that easy orcool, no kidding.
Well, the only HF I did thisweek was sending this wind link
on the UHF VHF side of things.
So it's not really HF, but weget you, we get you.

(09:16):
Oh no, I'm sorry I missed.
I missed the period, I justskipped over it.
So the only HF he did wassending the wood link.
So cool, all right, On the UHFVHF side of things, I've been
putting my call sign out when Ican.
In other news, I was asked by myclub to meet with someone who

(09:37):
is interested in amateur radio.
They do search and rescue withcanines and go to some places
where there is no cell service.
They do search and rescue withcanines and go to some places
where there is no cell service.
They seemed a bit overwhelmedbecause of all the things.
That is amateur radio.
We had a great discussion andthey seemed to understand a

(09:59):
little bit better Programmed aradio that they received.
I did this so that they couldlisten in and also, if they hear
me, they can ask questions viaanother form of communication.
Meanwhile, life goes on and Iwill be posting that video soon
of the photo with the grouch 7-3, chris KD9, ysw, chris Radio
and Live.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Hopefully Chris will have the recording that we made
the contact, but we won't getinto that.
I know it's a sore subject.

Speaker 2 (10:27):
No, it's all right, we can, we can, we can, we can
talk about that when, when Iwhen I discussed my ham radio
week.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
Very cool, Well, Chris thank you for staying on
track with your you know weeklywind link emails.
We appreciate that.
Those are awesome.
They're always interesting tosee.
And, dude, I don't envy youbeing in front of a freaking
blast furnace in this heatmaking cast iron sinks.

(10:56):
But we applaud you andappreciate you.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
For sure, and thanks, rory, yeah, oh yeah, rory too.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
Yeah, totally yeah, good to see that too, so sweet,
all right, well, hey, if youhave, you know, anything you
want to share with us, feel free.
You can always send them vialink, or you can just, you know,
send us a you know a review viaemail or via our SMS or our
voicemail number at 978-233-1142, and we'll be glad to share it

(11:26):
at our next episode.
All right, well, with that,let's get into.
It's everyone's favoritesegment.
And now a little somethingextra with Todd W1STJ.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Still a general.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
All right.
Well, there we go.
We just rolled right into this,like we know what we're doing,
all right?
Well, see, we don't, because Iobviously can roll right into
the script.
Here we go, guys.
Yep, I'm going to get firedafter the end of this.
All right, so we all aspire todo good in ham radio.
Oh, wrong script.

(12:14):
Bye, thank you, oh my gosh.
Oh my gosh, what the heck.
There we go.
My script's all screwed up here.
All right, so, yep, this iswhere you've heard in the past
and maybe this is your firsttime listening.
We apologize, but this is wherewe help Todd study for his
extra class license.
So each episode, we love topick the three questions and we
might actually hear the sameones over and over every week to

(12:34):
week until Todd gets them right, testing his knowledge and
hoping he gets his upgrade.
So if you want to follow along,you can always head over to
hamstudyorg and it's awesomeresource to help you prepare for
your test, and it's recommendedby three out of four or at this
point I think I said four outof four.
100 of all the ve's recommendit.
So, without any further delay,let's hand it over to the quiz
master and please, hopefully youdo a better job than I am.

(12:56):
Take it away, paul all right,uh.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
So uh, today's first randomly generated question.
What is the purpose ofconnecting inner diodes between
a MOSFET gate and its source ordrain?
Is it A to protect the gatefrom static damage.

(13:20):
B to protect the substrate fromexcessive voltages.
C to provide voltage referencefor the correct amount of
reverse bias gate voltage.
Or is it D to keep the gatevoltage within specifications

(13:44):
and prevent the device fromoverheating?

Speaker 3 (13:50):
This is the one we had the other day.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
Not the other day, but we've had this in the past.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
This isn't the one that I was on the live stream,
or whatever.

Speaker 1 (14:00):
Well, that wasn't the other day, that was like over a
month ago.
But yeah, someone was talkingabout the MOSFET.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
You've definitely had it before.

Speaker 1 (14:12):
MOSFET.
Yes, Last week we had adifferent.
We had that weird dual gate onewhere there was a MOSFET.
You argued that you werebitching about the arrow.
Yeah, because it was schematic.

Speaker 3 (14:24):
Yeah, jesus, I don't know.
I'm going to do A.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Yeah, something about static is always about right.
I'm going to go with A Allright, alpha, alpha, alpha.

Speaker 2 (14:44):
I want to say that you guys are both wrong, but
we're going to go with a allright Alpha, alpha, alpha.
I want to say that you guys areboth wrong, but we're going to
find out.
Oh you're right.

Speaker 1 (14:54):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Such a pessimist.

Speaker 2 (15:03):
No, I, I, I, I thought, um, what was it?
I thought the answer was C.
So, uh, but all right.
So here you go.
If you remember that staticshocks deliver kilovolts, you
might hastily choose the tractorto prevent protect the
substrate from excessivevoltages.
But that's the wrong uh answer,because substrate is sturdy and

(15:27):
not at risk.
Instead, you need to protectthe gate from static damage.
Mosfets, unlike otherCMOS-based devices, contain
built-in electrostatic voltageprotection in the form of Zener
diodes.
A typical lightning strike hasbeen known to blow such devices

(15:48):
without protection.
Dumb memory hint.
Zener Z-ZAP static shock.
Protect the gate from static.
Hope that helped with that Allright.
Well, hey, you're off to a greatstart, so here we go.

(16:09):
Question number two what is oneadvantage of using ASCII code
for data communications?
Is it A it uses one characteras a shift code to send numeric

(16:32):
and special characters.
B it is possible to transmitboth uppercase and lowercase
text.
C it includes built-in errorcorrection features.

Speaker 3 (16:52):
Or D D it contains fewer information bits per
character than any other code.
All right for summer.
I don't this.
I I want to say it's B.
It seems like a answer, but Ithink one of them does that
uppercase and lowercase and Ithink it's that one.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
I definitely know it's not that.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
I'm going to stick with it.

Speaker 1 (17:16):
It's not shift, because that's frequency key
shifting.
So it's got to be D.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
I'm going with d okay , well, todd said b, thank you
holy god, wow, nice, wow, okay.
So all right to uh to give youthe explanation uh, ascii or
american standard, wow, okay, soalright, to give you the

(17:46):
explanation.
Ascii, or American StandardCode For Information Interchange
, uses numbers in place of Allcharacters, both uppercase and
lowercase.
65 to 90 are A to Z uppercase.
97 to 122 are A to Z lowercase.
Ascii is an 8-bit codeproviding a potential for 256

(18:12):
possible characters.
As such, it does not require ashift code.
In contrast, odot code is a5-bit code only allowing 32
possible combinations.
Therefore, that can onlysupport uppercase characters.
Great job, todd.

Speaker 1 (18:30):
Thank you.
Wow, I'm impressed, my friend,I'm impressed.
All right.

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Two for two.

Speaker 4 (18:39):
This is the kind of question that's bullshit because
I know it's.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Don't fuck it up now.
Listen, this is the kind ofquestion that's bullshit Because
.

Speaker 1 (18:50):
I know it's here.
You go with your notepad, writedown E7A04.
That's the question.
You can email it to those guysand tell them this is a stupid
question.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
It's not a stupid question.
It's got the stupid answers.

Speaker 2 (19:00):
It's like All right answers, it's like all right.
So for the third and finalquestion of the evening, todd,
yeah, how many flip-flops andthese, these aren't the kind you
wear on your feet how manyflip-flops are required to
divide a signal frequency by 16.

(19:24):
Is it A 16?
I'm sorry, is it A 6?
Is it B 4?
Is it C 16?
Or is it D 8?

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Or is it E I don't know.
You can join.

Speaker 3 (19:42):
Oh.
Wrong button.
So the reason I get it when Iwas studying I was either going
between I think I was goingbetween four and eight, and I
can't remember I haven't seenthis question in a while which

(20:07):
I'm going to go with 8 D, it'sprobably 4, but I'm going to go
with 8, flip flop.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
I don't know if you're doing 8, I'm going to do
4 B alright.

Speaker 2 (20:24):
well, todd said D 8, four B All right.
Well, todd said D eight, andthat is not.
And Eric said B four, which iscorrect.
There we go so if you insert aflip-flop into a circuit, it

(20:48):
will divide the input signal bytwo.
Therefore, to divide afrequency by 16, you simply need
four flip-flops in series.
So here's your lovely equationTodd Log, sub 2 times 16 equals

(21:11):
4.
And then you've got a wholebunch of other formulas drawn
out.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Like I said, I haven't reviewed these in a
while, but I think there's abunch of questions that are so
similar.
The numbers are like, andthat's what irritates me and the
things understood.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
My friend understood, but I think you probably won't
see all four of the same seriesof questions I know, but I'll
probably get it.

Speaker 3 (21:38):
I'll probably pick the wrong one.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
Well, you know you can give up five.
We'll ease your pain.
Eventually Get your extra andyou'll ease your pain All right.
So well, if you're on thejourney of studying for your
technician, general or extraclass, like Todd is, then in

(22:06):
that case hamstudyorg is anawesome resource because it
tracks all the stuff for you andcontinues to drill home the
stuff that you're strugglingwith and make you a better test
taker and helps you get yourticket.
If you recently received maybeyour license, or maybe you
upgraded, then let us know.
We'd like to recognize you onthe next episode for all that
hard work and effort you put in.
Paul, do we have any thatyou've run into at all from any
of the previous testing sessions?

(22:27):
You did that, you remember, orno?
Yes, oh, okay.
Is he frozen?
He was your video's a littlefrozen, but all we heard was yes
.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
Oh, all right, Well, good, okay, yes, so I actually
was part of the Fort Braggsession today.
We had 19 soldiers that tooktheir tests.
Most of them were newtechnicians.
There was a couple that weretaking generals.
They were already techs.

(22:58):
But I will say these Army boys,they need to study better,
because we only had five out ofthe 19 that passed.

Speaker 1 (23:07):
Wow.

Speaker 3 (23:09):
Okay, my boys, I don't feel so bad anymore.

Speaker 1 (23:13):
Dude, you passed your general, you're fine.
It's the extras that you haveto worry about.

Speaker 2 (23:19):
These were mostly all failed techs.

Speaker 3 (23:21):
Technician.
Oh Wow, maybe that sayssomething about our, our
military process.
Fucking generation man, wowwell, hey did any of them did
any of them complain and saythey they identified as uh
passing and you should just givethem what they identify as a

(23:43):
text is.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
is that a no, not not one of them complained about
the text.

Speaker 2 (23:44):
questions is passing and they identify as a tech, so
they should be passing Is that ano, not not one of them
complained about the textquestions or the fact that they
didn't find it relevant to themin that moment, you know they
just took the exam.

Speaker 3 (23:55):
They probably guessed , they probably didn't even open
up, they probably didn't evenknow the questions.
Well, no, because the the examwas exam was the end of a class
that they had just taken, sokidding me yeah, they just
needed to study a little harder,I think understood man, but

(24:17):
congrats to the five that passedyeah, good job, you're on your
way to get you're on your way tobe in general, not even a ham
radio, but also in the militarymight become a general.
You pass a tech class out ofwhat?
Five out of 19.
That's pretty, that's tough.

Speaker 1 (24:36):
And sadly it's not really a tough test to somewhat,
but yeah.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
Okay, it was tough for me.
I didn't, I had to study, hey.
But yeah, okay it was tough forme.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
I didn't, I just study.
Hey, my daughter has zero, zeronegative actually, any
electronics experience I hadzero too.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
I still don't have any experience.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
Get on that all right , well with that, in our usual
format, because uh n1og hasgotten up, I assume, to refresh
his uh libations.
We'll go with you, todd.
How's your ham radio week beenwell?

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I uh, it's actually been pretty good.
I um, I've been messing aroundwith my new radio, the ft m510d,
and I really, really like thisradio.
It's just got cool features toit and it just makes sense.
I mean, maybe it's because I'vehad the 400 and the 300, but
just playing around with thisradio it's like things are just

(25:29):
in the right spots and it's justsimpler, and so are we saying
yeas.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
You finally hit a almost a home run out of the
park.

Speaker 3 (25:37):
Well, it's got some issues, but out of all of them,
the three that I've played with,this one's my favorite one to
play with um.
Yeah, I mean there is some somethings like um, like on one
screen on the rms.
I was trying to do it.
I could take it off the radiobut I couldn't figure out in the
arm.
Maybe it's the, it's not arm.

(25:57):
What is it called?
Rst, ams or no, rts, the, thesoftware program.
So maybe it's not Yaesu.
Oh, you mean RT.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
Systems.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
Yeah, because there's one page on it where you can
like oh.

Speaker 2 (26:09):
Yaesu's is ADMS.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
No, no, no, I'm talking about the software that
I use RT Systems, yeah, rtSystems.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
So on RT Systems.
Well, RT Systems is not thesame as the Yaesu software.

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Right I'm using.
Rt Systems is not the same asthe Yaesu software Right.

Speaker 2 (26:28):
I'm using RT systems, okay, because initially you
were using the Yaesu software.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
No, I wasn't, because they don't have it for Mac and
I didn't want to pay the $25.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
But I said I'm drinking because of you.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
Well, I'm glad I can make your evening happy.
So listen.
Anyway, I like the radio.
The thing was it was a little.
The problem I had is it hadweather alert on it.
So when I would scan, it wouldjust scan whatever you're doing
and then would go to all theweather channels.
So I found a, I'd unclick it,save it and then it would just.
Then we'd go to all the weatherchannels.

(27:06):
So I found a I'd unclick it,save it and then it would just
I'd go back to pages back on.
You had to go to a differentpage to actually turn it off.
So it was kind of like it'smore of a software thing because
I could do it on the radio andnot so much the um software.
On the software.
It was easier to do it on theradio.

(27:27):
Well, so yeah, so um, but yeah,it's, it's pretty cool and it's
um.
I'm really excited I'm getting,I'm putting it in um, hopefully
tomorrow.
I did find um that I haveauxiliary switches on my jeep
that are just empty, so I'mgonna be should make it an
easier install than I expectedand um.
And then I got on the near or.
I hadn't been on the near onein a couple months because of

(27:50):
baseball and stuff.
So that was fun, uh, getting onwith those guys.
And I watched the clubhouseyesterday.
Couldn't hear carlos, uh, whenhe was jumping.
Did you guys, did you try, eric?

Speaker 1 (28:01):
I didn't even know he was jumping.
I know I left near early beforeyou guys had Carl, like Carlos,
justin came on, oh yeah, yeah,that's right, and I watched on
the replay, which got guys get abetter hobby instead of, like
always, like digging back at meafter I jump.
All of a sudden it's like Eric,this, eric this, how, let's
make fun of Eric, let's make funmore.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I had to go, that's what happens when you're the
first one't leave, then it's theeric show I had to go that's
what happens when you're thefirst one to leave.
Yeah, it's like being the firstone at the party to fall asleep
.
You get dicks all over yourface or or marker it.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
Oh no, good to know.
Yeah, no, well I don't know.

Speaker 3 (28:39):
Dude that story, though you told us about the
naked backseat, backseat drivingthat's just.
I don't know, man, I don't knowwhere you grew up, but that
wasn't a thing in my town.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
I grew up in westford .
Please, what do you do?
there's nothing to do latenights and you know you're
hanging out the problem is, Ithink you guys think it's a
whole bunch of guys in the car.
No dude, it was girls.
There's more girls than therewere guys like.
I was myself as a driver andmaybe one other guy that best
friends of mine all in the carand there was more girls.

(29:11):
So that always played in ourfavor.
That's.
That's kind of where that camefrom.
So it wasn't like we're like,hey, there's five dudes in the
car, let's play cohen digga,backseat driving, that's what I
was thinking.

Speaker 3 (29:21):
I'm like man well, come on.
I think that's what I wasthinking.
I'm like man, I don't get it,come on.
I think that's what everyonewas thinking.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
That's what I realized after replaying it a
couple of times.
Dude, they must think.

Speaker 3 (29:30):
I think you need to.
I think you need to.
You're going to have to bringit up again the next year and
clear your name.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
No no, no, because I think everyone thinks that you
were with a bunch of dudesgetting naked in the back of a
car driving around town.
The only thing we're bringingup next year is I'm going to
present Izzo one of those pillbucket things that actually have
Monday through Sunday on themand basically put his individual
pills in them so he doesn'ttake his daughter's birth
control.

Speaker 3 (29:57):
That was funny.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
That was really funny .
Don't understand that one, butanyway, who was?

Speaker 3 (30:03):
Oh, and Carlos was bitching to you because you
never made his shirt I did, Istarted it, but then, he never
finished it okay here.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
so, to my, to my credit, I started it and then I
sent him a copy and he's likedude, you could do a better
picture than that?
And all of like the three hoursworth of work I tried to stitch
it all together.
He sends me another picturelike a day later.
So I'm like I'm waiting andwaiting for him to send me
something.
So he finally sent me somethinga day later and at that point I
lost interest.
So I was like I'm not going todo this any longer.

(30:32):
So he, he sure is he didn'tforget he was.
He was like where's.

Speaker 3 (30:46):
So keep talking and I'll pull it up here and share
the screen here.
Yeah, so, anyway.
So since you were, I couldn'thear him.
Um parachute mobile, eventhough I tried.
So that was unfortunate,because I figured I'd try to
work them.
What do you do?
10 meters, I think yeah.
Was it 10 paul?
Yeah, yeah, I think it was 10.
Yeah, it just wasn't reachingthat way.

(31:07):
He didn't hear him either.
What are you doing.

Speaker 1 (31:15):
Uh-huh what?
We don't hear anything.
No Well, sort of here and there, uncle.

Speaker 3 (31:22):
Elon's messing you up .

Speaker 2 (31:26):
Well, he's up.
No, honestly, it's probably thegate settings on the mic.
I was trying to, you know, holdmy phone to the microphone.

Speaker 3 (31:32):
I got it yeah, so, uh , so, yeah.
So a little bit of ham radioand a little played around with
the.
Uh, listen to some hd.
We were talking about thefrequencies 14, three, one,
three and 7,200.
I find that very interesting.
If, um, if I can't sleep,listen to those guys.

(31:53):
Those guys on there are justinsane.
Like they're like what is likeit's, they're crazy.
They literally like commitfelonies on there.

Speaker 1 (32:06):
They literally threaten to kill each other true
, but like I'm just trying tolike, like you fire up your
radio on your smartphone andthen just leave it running I
went down to the shack and I wasfucking around, so I would.

Speaker 3 (32:20):
We were just talking about I hadn't been on it said,
oh, let's just see what's goingon in there.
And then I was like, oh my,it's like the Jerry Springer
show of ham radio.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Yeah, I don't disagree with that Anyway.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
So, Paul, since you took off on us, how was your
week in ham radio?
Do anything fun.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Oh well, look at you like acting like the host of the
show.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
Someone's got to do it, since you've been drinking
to paul, here we go.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
So this is carlos's shirt, so you guys all get to
see it.
Oh, hope carlos is watching,that's what I was working on and
he was like he's not, heprobably won't, but he'll have
to check out the you know thevideo there.
That's him.
So he was going to send me abetter photo.
So once I finish, you know,making that work, you know this
will be what it will be sort oflike.
So yeah, so it was sort ofthat's fantastic I'm gonna have

(33:15):
to get that shirt.

Speaker 2 (33:18):
Go ahead, paul um, all right, so my ham radio week,
let's see.
So I went to Iowa with Carlosand we activated Princeton

(33:38):
Wildlife Refuge which is justover the other side of the
Mississippi River.
Did you guys have cell servicethere or no?
Yeah, yeah, actually it wasn'tbad.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
I didn't see you on the spotting page.
It's kind of weird.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
That's because we never called CQ.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Well, there you go, can't work you if you don't spot
yourself.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Honestly, we didn't need to um.
So, on the way there, okay, um,I missed.
I missed an exit because we'rewe're shooting, shooting the
shit.
I'm just driving on the highwaylike I'm not, I'm not paying
attention to the phone, I'm.
You know, we're just, we'rejust talking.
So I missed my exit.

(34:24):
I'm like, all right, that's fine, we'll just keep going and you
know, gps will reroute us.
Well, gps rerouted us and, as,as we're trying to connect to uh
, state route 30, which is wherethe previous exit would have
gotten me right, we're gonnacross train tracks and there's

(34:45):
people like workers at the traintracks.
So I'm like it's a littleunusual, right.
So I slow down as I as Iapproach, and then the bars come
down, oh no, and the traincomes, and the train is like a
fucking mile long, and then, allof a sudden, the train gets

(35:07):
like halfway in front of us andstop, and so the the, the guy
standing there, you know, likethe employee, he comes over to
the truck and he goes hey, youmight want to just turn around
and try and find another wayaround, because we don't know

(35:28):
how long the train's going to behere.
So we shot the shit with thisguy for a little bit.
He explained that they werereplacing railroad ties, and so
this was going to be a projectand we were probably going to be
sitting there for a while.
Let me tell you, dude, there'snot many places to cross the

(35:48):
Mississippi river, so I had todrive.
I had to drive like 45 minutessouth to get back to you know uh
, the highway where I could take80 across the Mississippi so
that I could then go back northon the other side of the bank.
But we finally got there and itwas a great activation.

(36:13):
Of course, I left both of mypod rockers here in front of the
RV, so I had zero chairs.

Speaker 3 (36:24):
Wait a minute.
The grouch wasn't prepared forsomething Like this is a first.
This is a first.

Speaker 2 (36:32):
The grouch was prepared.
I just didn't throw the shitback in the truck.

Speaker 1 (36:38):
Oh, I see how that one works.
So there's a we gotta clarify.
There's levels.
So there's the absolute rulesthat grouch has and follows and
abides by, but there's subarticles to that can be the gray
areas.
Is that how we're looking at it?

Speaker 2 (36:51):
Yeah, a chair is a non-essential item.

Speaker 1 (36:54):
Right or direction and GPS Got it Okay.
So I just I use the tailgate asthe radio station table um and
then we just, we just all handsand knees, and you sat on his
back no, no, no, we stood there.

Speaker 2 (37:14):
We stood there, uh, and, just you know, pass the mic
back and forth.
For whatever reason, my, uh, mymilitary handset wasn't working
quite well that day.
But yeah, I don't know, I think.
I think we ended up with 12 or13 in the log, so it was a
successful activation.
We both got to turn a new stategreen and then, yeah, so that

(37:41):
was Saturday, that was, that wasSaturday, and then Sunday was
an absolutely beautiful day.
So Carlos got a parachutemobile in first thing.
That was Saturday, and thenSunday was an absolute beautiful
day.
So, um, carlos got, uh, aparachute mobile in first thing.
Um, so I made another two metercontact with him and then, um,
uh, I, I, I got some jumps inthe last jumps that I could
afford to get while I was here.

(38:02):
Uh, it was, you know, because,um, so the month of July I did,
I did canopy course.
One, oh one, one, oh two, um,and so the cost of the course,
plus the 10 jump block that Ihad to buy for the course and
the gear rental for two daystotal cost ended up being like

(38:25):
870 something bucks, and so thenI had to fix my truck,
obviously, so that was anotherlike 320 bucks that I had
planned on spending this month.
So I really just I just didn'thave a whole lot of money left
to to continue to skydive thismonth and obviously I'm I'm

(38:47):
heading to huntsville, uh, youknow, the beginning of the next
next month, so, yeah, um.
So I was like, well, I've gotenough for for three jumps, and
it happened to be 40, 48, 49 and50.
And so, um, independence Day,when, when we had the big boogie

(39:11):
here, they, uh, they brought ina sky van Um.
So the sky van, uh, it's, it's abigger plane, you can stand up
in it in it.
Um, and instead of getting outthe side, like you see in and
normally in my videos, it's gotlike a c-130 kind of ramp in the
back, and so the plane doesn'treally slow down like you, just

(39:33):
you go out the back and you'regoing, you know, full speed, um,
but so I didn't get to, Ididn't get to jump out of that
plane.
Uh, independent, say, weekend.
So I was super glad that thatplane was back.
Um, so jump number one for theday was out of the sky van.
Um, that was a ton of fun.
Um, then, um, is that one ofthe guys that?

Speaker 1 (39:57):
is doing his um.
One of his jumps from it hasthe benches inside it, like
Carlos is doing his.
One of his jumps from it hasthe benches inside it, like in
the weird side seatbelt One.
There's a different one I'mthinking of, I remember seeing a
plane.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
No, that's just a.
That's just a regular CessnaCaravan.
Okay.
But so Jonathan was was a guythat I had met, he was.
He came for ground school andhe did the AFF process basically
at the same time I did.

(40:27):
He got his license I think theweek after I did, and so he was
here for, you know, he wanted tojump with me.
I told him I could only affordto jump one day, and so he made
it happen that he was here forwanted to jump with me.
I told him I can only afford tojump one day, and so he made it
, made it happen that he washere for for Sunday to jump with
me.
And yeah, so we went up, jumpedtwo together, just did you know

(40:50):
a nice easy two way, you know,just him and I kind of playing
around in the sky having fun.
But but jump number 50, Ifigured it had to be a big one,
it had to be something special.
So I waited to the very lastload of the day and it's a
sunset load and so we went upand Carlos joined me.

(41:12):
We did a high pull together.
I really got to just kind ofsit there and and take it all in
.
I what I did was I held the, Iheld the canopy in quarter
breaks.
So right, so you get thetoggles and you pull the toggles
down, that's your breaks.
So I pulled them down, go aboutmy shoulders and I just put my

(41:34):
thumbs in under my shoulderstraps so that way I had, you
know, a little bit of of time torelax and and I just just sat
there under the canopy and justtook it all in.
Uh, what a beautiful, beautifulthing to see, like you know,
the, the cities and and townsand the distance, and all the
lights come on and, um, there's,there's a big, uh wind turbine.

(41:58):
Uh, you know, array to thesouth of us To see all the
lights start coming on andflashing on the wind turbines.
Just absolutely amazingexperience for jump number 50.
Let's see Other ham radio stuff.

(42:20):
I got a couple videos done.
Only one was ham radio related,but uh, uh.
So I got my wisconsin photovideo done, uh, which was with
kd9 ysw, chris, chris radio life.
Um, so that'll be, uh, that'llbe premiering um thursday night
uh, it'll be last thursday nightfor everybody watching this,
but you can still go on mychannel and watch it.
So, thursday night It'll belast Thursday night For

(42:41):
everybody watching this, but youcan still go on my channel and
watch it.
There you go.
So that was my ham radio stuff.

Speaker 1 (42:53):
So a couple of things .
Your mic splitter stuff.
I've been having problems withmine too, and I don't know
whether it's the actual, likethe little kind of small
preliminary tests I did.
I found that the contacts getcrap in them.
So you might want to doublecheck your that little block to

(43:15):
see if there's not somethingtrapped up in there or something
like that.
Mine was dirty the first time.
The second one it was justbecause the connector got loose,
because I find that these rj45things just never really like
sit in there good enough, and socontact was.
That was when I did with chris.
Uh, down at the cape, and likeevery time I would talk they'd
be like, yeah, you're five, nine.

(43:35):
And then I, you know chriswould use the other mic and he'd
be like they couldn't hearwhatsoever and I don't know what
that was doing or why it wasjust getting jumbled up.
But yeah, I don't know if thatsplitter has got some weird
thing in it that.
But you know, I got to do alittle.
You know, tear apart to see howthe wiring is, to make a better
call as to see whether there'ssome electrical issue with it.
But yeah, it seemed similarproblem all right.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Well, so I was thinking um, so I have, I have a
little pigtail that I keepattached to the radio and that
way I don't have to take theface off all the time.
Right, right, um, but I what Iwas thinking was maybe I should
take the pigtail off and justput the splitter on and leave
the splitter on full time andjust leave a dummy plug plugged

(44:20):
in, and then I can unplug thedummy plug to plug the mic.
In that way it keeps theconnection clean nice, yeah,
that actually probably makessense.

Speaker 1 (44:28):
Yeah, I'd be curious to see, because I think it only
opens the like the contacts onlyopen when that second mic is in
play, when uh, not when theptt's.
I think it's like that secondone automatically just stays
connected all the time and thatmay be a problem.
But I have to, like I said, I'monly guessing because I gotta

(44:48):
tear into that stupid thing tofind out.
But yeah, let me know how yoursgoes and, um, you know see if
that solves the problem before Icut it open surgically all
right.

Speaker 2 (44:58):
And what about you, eric?
How was your ham radio week?

Speaker 1 (45:01):
well, I got one other thing for you, man.
Um, okay, I, I know yourmassachusetts, new england
accents sliding in there everytime you say it, is it high pole
p-o-l-e or high pull p-u-l-lp-u-l-l okay, because I like
every time you say high pole,I'm like you're saying pull or
pull and I'm like what the helldoes a pole have to do with

(45:22):
jumping out of a plane?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
don't insult him for having a massachusetts.
Call it a new england accent,whatever you want, I said his
new england accent you saidmassachusetts did I say mass.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
I don't think I said mass you said okay, my apologies
.

Speaker 3 (45:35):
I said I meant to say he's digging into you, paul,
he's like you know, like allright, he's got something
against you because he's fromMass and you trash it all the
time.

Speaker 1 (45:44):
Dude, I left Mass as quickly as I could.
We're on the same boat, myfriend, I know.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Yeah, so essentially Put it this way Go no, when I
went to you.
Go, paul, take the lead Allright.

Speaker 2 (46:01):
I just wanted to explain what a high pull was, in
case somebody didn't know.
So it's the opposite of a hopand pop, right?
So a hop and pop is you'rebetween 3,500 and 5,000 feet in
altitude and you jump out andwithin five seconds you're
deploying your, your parachute,right, so you get no free fall

(46:24):
time.
A high pull is the same exactthing, but you're doing it at
full altitude and so you, youjump out and then you, you, you
want to, you want to get stableto the relative when five
seconds and and deploy.
So that's, that's all that is.
That's just the.
That's what the difference isthere.

Speaker 1 (46:43):
Yeah, it's just your accent was getting in the way.
That's all Just trying to helpthe rest of the audience.
You know, we're just all aloving bunch here, we're all
good, anyway, all right, well,I'll answer your question.
Actually, did I have one more?
Yeah, whatever, I started towrite down, I guess I ignored it
.
Man, what the heck did I dothis way?

(47:06):
Again, this freaking week hasbeen insane and all over the map
.
I mean.
So we typically for those thatare our regular listeners and
not Patreon listeners we usuallyrecord what like Sunday nights.
So I'm always like geared up.
My weekends are usually prettyquiet Friday, saturday, with no
ham radio per se, unless Idecided to go to the barn or

(47:28):
something like that.
And then Sunday is when I startto ramp up, like you know,
sunday mornings, live stream, Ihave a little bit of a break and
then I'm thinking like, okay,we got to start doing stuff for
you know this recording.
And while we didn't have it,this recording, because I ended
up having some, was it my familyfunction or something like that
?
I can't remember what it set usoff, or no, right, paul, you
had to know that was the weekbefore you had to jump, didn't
you?
Or you were doing some activityright.

(47:50):
And then todd jumped in andsaid he wanted to go fishing oh
yeah, well, I was doing mysunset jump that's right, yeah,
yeah, right.
So, so, yeah, we, you finallystepped in and I appreciate you
stepping in saying fuck you guys, I want to go do this jump
because I was you know, you werealways like dude.
I just want to make sure we'reconfident like I, I by time he
said he was gonna be.

Speaker 3 (48:08):
He said he was gonna be really really late, late I
know which was perfectly fine.
You know, I was like okay so Iwas like quiet night yeah yeah,
okay, listen, sometimes thingscome up.
What did I say?
I had to go fishing.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
That was my fishing or something I had to go back at
the.
I forget what it was.

Speaker 3 (48:28):
I really got, I got to get on that.
I got to get on that Shit.
I seriously can't remember crapanymore.

Speaker 1 (48:33):
We're noticing that every time, even like last week
with the episode.
What did I talk about?
Who's that call an effing idiot?
I don't know, I can't, I don'tremember.
So long story short, yeah, Iwas, so, uh, live stream went
well, um, and you know, sundaywas really quiet so I ended up
falling asleep on the couch, butwhich is probably, you know,
because I think, after my thirdcup of coffee sunday morning, we

(48:55):
, we talked about, um, some uh,you know, nefarious things that
happened in podo, which Ithought was pretty good.
We, uh, shannon and um shaneand a few others, all uh threw
in some interesting stories.
We, we scrubbed them off alittle bit so we didn't, uh, you
know, basically to protect theinnocent, but, uh, it was real

(49:16):
fun to, you know, share some ofthe stories.
When I shared, uh, you know,our, um, our, our um, we'll say
starry past with, uh, mr fd8, uh, you remember that yeah, you
were pretty, uh, because I waslistening.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Yeah, you joined, I just gonna say you, you joined
in.

Speaker 1 (49:34):
I was totally blown away, he, he came on.
I was like wow, he eitherdidn't fall asleep the night
before or he got enough rest.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
I didn't get enough rest, but I, I, I was home and I
was like all right, I'm goingto get on this and cool yeah.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
And so, outside of that, I've been doing a bunch of
videos trying to get thingsarranged.
I got a live stream tomorrow,um, which, by the time this airs
will be, uh, you know whenThursday of last week.
So, fingers crossed, Ihopefully remember how to, you
know, adjust SWR.
And you know, get this antenna.
You know this biscuit antenna.

(50:08):
I'm doing N0APX's antenna.
He sent me the 40 meter antennaand then it was the build piece
and long story short is I builtit, but the instructions that
he had the link provided was forthe 20 meter antenna and so I
built it as a 20 meter and fedinstead of 40 meter and fed.
So I had all these extra partsand I was like, well, what the
heck do I do with this extraToro rate and what do I do with

(50:30):
these extra screws?
And you know, long story short,yeah.
So I'm going to be interesting,to say the least.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
so, yeah, that sounds like fun it's going to be.

Speaker 1 (50:49):
I mean, if anything, it's just going to be a comedy
of errors for sure.
That's like.
The biggest thing that I'mworried about is like I'm not
going from a script.
I'm not, like you know, editingit on the cutting room floor to
make it actually look like it'sgoing to flow well.
So it's going to look like aKeystone Cops you know episode,
I'm sure.
So well, we'll see, people willget a laugh out of it for sure.

(51:11):
So, yeah, outside of that was myham radio week Not really you
know hammy at all, but stillfilled with something related to
it.
So, all good, all right.
Well, with that, we, yeah,don't have anything prepared
this week.
So, you know, we're just goingto let it fly.
You know, ted, who's in thechat there?
Good to see you, ted.

(51:31):
I don't know if you fell asleepalready, but good to see you
know, in the chat.
And thanks, thanks for hangingout with us.
And so, yeah, if you've gotsomething you want to get off
your chest or you want to, youknow, learn something about us.
We're going to kind of justreflow here.
We talked originally early.
Yep, ted's still there, good tosee you know.

(51:55):
We're going to talk a littleabout 24-hour poda, because I
think we need to talk about someof that stuff, what we want to
think about doing and what'scoming up, because we've I've
been getting questions, uh, butI know, uh you know there are
others uh that are wonderingwhat's going on.
Um yeah, so Paul's got at thebottom of the window here our
sign up for the 24 hour photo.
Thank you for all those thathave already picked up and

(52:15):
signed up uh, put their ordersin, so we're moving ahead on
that and it's really good.
So I we got a hard, fastdeadline.
So check out the uh link downbelow if you're considering
coming, even for the day.
I just need to know that you'recoming and whether or not you
want to participate in the uhcatering aspect of it, because
that's a number.
I've got to be able to get backto the barbecue place to be

(52:36):
able to make sure we get enoughfood for everybody, um and uh.
We get enough food foreverybody, um and uh lunch on
saturday, so I guess, kind ofdiving into it, yeah, let's talk
a little bit about that.
I mean, obviously you guystalked heavily on near about it
and you know, of course you'relike what's eric want to do and,
of course, eric's not there toanswer any of those questions.
So what did eric finally decide?
You know, when you guys uh, youknow worked through the details

(52:58):
of our, you know, poda POTUSstation.

Speaker 3 (53:01):
Well, the census is they want to have more than one
station.
Okay, my view is I just mythought when we did this whole
thing is we were just going tohave one station and then just
keep it going.
You know, having two, threestations and then having it turn
off or not.

(53:21):
It's called 24 hour podo, soit's like the one station is
going to be running for 24 hoursstraight.
I don't think we can.
It's not like field, my, my andagain, we can change it.
I don't care.
My vision of it was it wasn'tgoing to be like a field day, it
was like we were going to run astation for 24 hours straight,
calling cq or or hunting ordoing whatever.

(53:42):
Looking for adding extrastations great, but I doubt
we're gonna have all thosestations running 24 hours.
So then it turns into more oflike this uh, field day kind of
thing.
So that's why?

Speaker 2 (53:57):
that's my thought of how, why we should only have one
station, but I don't care so,uh, I I've been trying to think
on the live streaming side ofthings, right, so that's where
that's critical to me.
Um, I, my thought was that wewould have one station outside

(54:19):
that would be the 24 hourstation, but then we would also
allow people to come in and usethe station inside, because this
is going to be the the hub ofthe live stream, and so it's
very easy to just have thiscamera connected to the live
stream, totally forgot aboutthat, right okay and so then

(54:41):
we've got the outside feed,we've got the inside feed, and
then I don't know when are we?

Speaker 3 (54:47):
where's the main?
Where's the main radio going tobe for the like, the 24 hour
pod?
Is it going to be inside or isit going to be?

Speaker 2 (54:57):
close enough.
It's going to be close enoughto the RV that we can run
Ethernet and whatever cameracables we need to connect up to,
so it's not going to be in theRV, correct?

Speaker 3 (55:09):
Well, no, okay, that's the only one, because I'm
going to bring my.
You know the thing.
Watson pissed all over when Ifirst put it up.
Remember that that's what I'mgoing to bring.
I washed it, I know I don'tcare.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
So I sort of envisioned but I like kind of
where you were going, paul,because it made a little bit
more sense.
So I envisioned kind of nearyour camper, whether it was the
tent that you used for Nearfest.
That would be the, the radiotent, meaning we would throw two

(55:43):
radios in there.
And really the only way to saytwo radios would be that if, um,
we got to kind of cater tothree areas sideband, cw and
digital.
And so I was thinking Toddwould bring his DX 10 and that
would just run CW and digital.
Your radio, if you had the7,300, would be the or a radio,

(56:07):
whatever that is.
That would be the sidebandstation and we could have two
people both on there at the sametime doing those two different
modes through.
Uh.
I was going to grab the clubstriplexer and tie it into the uh
buddy, hex, and then matt saidhe wanted to bring like a couple
other antennas.

(56:28):
I okay with that and I'mtotally fine.
Him like putting up one or twofor just like those like
specific area wire kind ofthings, but put them on a switch
box and like that's just anoption someone can have at the
main station, whatever it is,and that would have one camera
on it and that camera wouldcover both of those two radios,

(56:49):
kind of like we put an l tableor whatever, a folding table and
some chairs and stuff like that, and that would be just the
radio tent, the there would beanother tent that um would be a
little farther out or whatever.
That would be the hangout tent,like we did for near, and put to
one or two cameras in there,and I've got enough HDMI cables
to strangle a horse.

(57:09):
With that we can feed back intothe trailer to give you the
video feed that you need orwhatever we need to to get that
there, and then that would justbe the hangout giveaway tent.
People want to be on the livestream can all hang out in the
room and we can just, you know,add more stuff, because for me,
if I'm watching, I'm not goingto really want to watch somebody

(57:30):
24 hours, just kind of doingdigital or making sideband
contacts all the way straightthrough, because that's like
just watching another photo forsomebody else.
You get bored after 10 minutes,but exactly right, yeah, like
just watching another photo forsomebody else.
You get bored after 10 minutesbut it's like watching a day
drive, exactly right.
Yeah, but I'd love to be ableto have the main, like us, to be
able to control from your, youknow, obs station.
You know, being able to do acutout to that tent where we

(57:52):
hang out and everyone gets tohear the banter, and then in the
bottom right-hand cornerthere's a small little picture
in a picture of the operatingstation.
So you see someone makingcontacts or whatever, and you
know, back and forth, we can,you know, easily switch that
through obs.
So that's kind of what I wasthinking in my sense.
But you know, I, like I saidI'm open to I I sort of like the
you know, but I I don't want tohave people in your camper all

(58:14):
night doing operation, you know,at your radio because you're
going to want to sleepeventually or something.

Speaker 2 (58:19):
But well, yeah, and that's why I said that the
station in here wouldn't be the24-hour station, but it's.
It's an alternative, that'sjust.
It's easy to put in the mix,because the the radio's here,
computers here, right, socameras here what radios are?

Speaker 3 (58:39):
what radios are we having?
Well, we're having dx10 is one.

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Yeah, I don't have my dx10 anymore.

Speaker 3 (58:46):
I sold it, so we'll have to come up with another
radio well, that's why I saidwhy don't we just use my dx10
and have that in the thing?
That's the range sideband radioand then if people want to come
and do digital or um, cw thatradio up with all of that
beforehand.

Speaker 1 (59:06):
So, no, we don't have to spend time wasting swapping
the key and going to cw orwhatever well, right, but what
radio are we going to use forsideband?
So if we take, if yours is theprimary radio, I would make that
sideband only because thatradio is really good at sideband
, right, I would then ifactually tim is coming for the

(59:28):
weekend.
So I'm sure he would bring hisdx10 and put that next to yours
and he could be cw and digitaland then we solved that problem
and then paul's a third radio.
If you know people want to doother stuff outside and and what
?
Or inside, that's not.
You know, part of per se, theoperating of the 24-hour photo,

(59:49):
if that makes sense okay, sothis is tim's antenna, really
really far away well, well, Imean, we can do the we'll do.
But you got, you have a band set.
Uh, band pass filters right,paul full set I, I do.
Yeah, I have filters, so so yourfilters and my filters can both

(01:00:12):
filter both of our radios andthen we can put it in the
triplexer and then that won'tkill us for sideband and cw, as
long as we're not, obviously, on20 meters doing sideband and cw
, as long as we're opposite,those filters should be able to
keep us from getting intotrouble, um and whatever else.
But yeah, my thought is I don'tthink we're gonna have like two

(01:00:33):
people doing 24 hour you knowoperation for the whole entire
thing.
Like I don't don't know aboutyou, but like if you measure our
field days, we had one or twopeople total that were doing
full bore all the time and thenthere was a bunch of people just
kind of jerking off or doingwhatever and you know hanging
out, we'll be doing good.

Speaker 2 (01:00:51):
Have one station, it has somebody 24 hours on.

Speaker 1 (01:00:56):
True.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
And yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:00:57):
I think, the side.

Speaker 3 (01:01:03):
I think true, and yeah, I think the sideband.
I think you'd have the sidebandstation man 24 hours and then
if people want to do fta orwhatever or cw, they can come
and go as they please, but weshould be constantly running
that one station, yeah, I mean.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
So, whatever the mode is, I think by having them all
in that same one tent that'sclosest to paul's rv, then we
can have a dedicated camera tothat station.
That's the 24-hour station,because you know whether like
see, I would like like.
So if I was doing sideband forfour hours and then tim wanted
to get in and do cw for a couplehours, I would step away, go

(01:01:35):
hang out and then tim could docw and at least we have somebody
on the station, you know, doingsomething for aren't we going
to keep someone doing thesideband 24 hours?
we don't have to as long aswe're doing it under our call
sign.
That's what I thought we weregoing to do.
Well, so here's the thechallenge we don't know what the
propagation is going to looklike.
So if you get to a certainpoint that we have, everybody

(01:01:57):
wants to do sideband.
Then I said, go do it.
If we want to do both, we couldprobably get away doing it
because we have all the theright tools to make it all work.
Um, and we could have twooperators in the same tent with
one camera on both of thoseoperators and you know, we get
more action on our live stream,you know I mean, it doesn't.

Speaker 2 (01:02:18):
It doesn't matter if the the 24-hour station changes
modes 100 times, it's just thatthe 24-hour station is 24 hours,
24 hours, right.

Speaker 3 (01:02:28):
Yeah, but I just remember when what's her name at
field day switched everythingover to the DX10 to DCW.
It screwed everything up.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
No right.

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
So that's why we have the two radios.

Speaker 1 (01:02:39):
Yeah, so, tim, we've got the 7300 that too.
The only thing I don't want todo is throw cw on yours.
But you know, because you knowyou tailored the way you want.
But you know, tim's already gotit all set up for us, so he
just brings it.
It's now set up for digitalmodes.
It's set up for cw alreadyfiltering.

(01:02:59):
Yeah, yeah, that just sitsthere and looks pretty all right
, so all right.

Speaker 3 (01:03:04):
So.
So basically, in that tent, orwhatever you want to call it,
that shelter, that's the station24 hours.
If tim it's not connected tothe radio, it's connected to the
station.
So if someone's doing sidebandand tim wants to come in and do
cw, we're not going to runsideband we don don't have to.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
We can do it if we want to.
Somebody can be on 15 meters toa sideband and Tim can be on 10
meters doing CW, both makingcalls for W1 LFH.
Okay, as long as, as long as wedon't have a time where
nobody's doing nothing, thatthat's.
The only thing is like Paulsaid, said just, you know, 24

(01:03:44):
hours straight we do whatevermode so when we can't, when we
can't stay awake, fda or orwe're totally shit fate and we
have no idea how, even how tospell our own names.

Speaker 2 (01:03:56):
You know, yeah, that station I'll be calling cq on
7200 24 hour poda you mothereffers make contacts, my friend.

Speaker 1 (01:04:07):
That's all you gotta do, yeah alright.

Speaker 3 (01:04:12):
Now the other thing I was gonna ask and I'm sure when
you cause you know how fieldday you can get credit for like
your log or whatever, by yourcall sign.
Does it work the same way withwhat we're doing?
So, like, if I do 100 contactsat greenfield, I can get credit
under w1stj towards, like, if Iwas going to say towards a kilo

(01:04:34):
or whatever yeah, as long asit's not in the extra portion of
the band where you can'toperate oh, I can, because
you'll be there and so, but youcan't claim credit for those
contacts individually oh, yeah,right, but I can do it yeah yeah
, yeah, so we'll, we'll.

Speaker 1 (01:04:52):
I'll set up n3fjp on uh two laptops and they'll share
the same database and then thatway everything is logged and
then, and then.

Speaker 3 (01:04:59):
What do you do?
You just send me a copy of theadf file.

Speaker 1 (01:05:03):
I can, but basically I won't have to worry about it
because when I upload the logfile it'll have the operator
field in it and you'll get thecredit that way from podo oh
yeah, that's right yep, sosimple.
No problem there I forgot yeah,yeah.
The only person that won't beable to get credit is ted, but
he's getting his ticket,hopefully that weekend.

(01:05:26):
Bob yeah, sorry, I meant yeah,thank you, bob, correct.
Yeah, not Bob, not Ted.
Ted is graciously volunteeredas he's on chat.
That's why I was thinking tohe's like what, I'm an extra
he's been demoted, ted, yougotta take tests all over, my
friend, it's our hazingorientation.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
Are you going to have a roving camera to show away
from the station?

Speaker 1 (01:05:55):
chat yeah, so the other portion to this mix is
that we'll actually have aseparate todd.
You're going to probably bringyour octagon tent or whatever
you had for field day that'll bethe hangout tent that will have
another clam in.
Yeah, the clam the inside out,clam right, um well well, wait a
minute then.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
What are we using for the, for the station?

Speaker 1 (01:06:15):
we're going to use the one paul has already, that
he had in your fest the screenedin easy oh, that smaller one,
yeah, because that I think theclam one's a little bit bigger,
right.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Yeah, maybe yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:06:26):
Yeah, and that one will just have a camera in it
that live streams everybodyhanging out and stuff like that.
And and you know, if we want toput a third camera out there,
we can do one of the whole area,if we, you know.
But we'll, we'll think aboutthose views.
And the perks to being thereFriday is that we can work out
the bugs and get it all working.
I could bring my.

Speaker 3 (01:06:45):
I should bring my plane, you know practice into my
kayak, go fishing, doeverything that weekend.

Speaker 1 (01:06:54):
So, paul, you and I got to do all the work while
Todd's busy playing.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Well, so I I forget who it was.
I was talking with somebody theother day and they were
mentioning the 24-hour quota andit might have actually it might
have been Bob, but so Pepperellisn't all that far away.

(01:07:20):
No, what do you get?
If I could maybe convince theS&DA at the Pepperell Skydive
Center to let me go up with anHT, I could do a high pull there
and try and make contact withyou guys at the campground high

(01:07:41):
pull, high pull.

Speaker 1 (01:07:44):
Thank you, yeah, dude Speaker.
3 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0

Speaker 3 (01:08:03):
Eh yeah, it'd be up high though you might get it.
I don't know what does Carlosget when he's like on two meters
, like how far does he get?

Speaker 2 (01:08:15):
He gets anywhere from a couple hundred miles to close
to 1,000.
Okay, so I'm just trying tothink, I'm just trying to think
Maybe it's not a thousand, butanyways it's several hundred
miles so I'm just wondering whatlike is pac-man adnok in the
way between greenfield andpeperl, or here?

Speaker 1 (01:08:40):
I don't know, skydiving, and then give me
another point here.
Um, so we can do it one or twoways.
We could probably do thatbecause we'll be there friday
night setting up doingeverything we need to do.
I gotta run out probablysaturday mid-afternoon to like
get stuff for lunch for us, for,like, pizzas.

(01:09:01):
But we could, if you could doan early saturday jump, people
on the way up could swing by andwe could do it from there and
then everybody could head upanyway, because they're going to
be heading up that direction,if that's something you know you
wanted to coordinate.
But then we've got to bedependent on whether or not they
don't.

(01:09:21):
Uh, you know we don't have badcloud cover or something yeah,
yeah, well, exactly right.

Speaker 2 (01:09:27):
I mean obviously it's weather dependent, but uh, you
know, I mean if, if saturday,saturday, had really nice
weather, like I just think, thatwould be a cool thing no, yeah,
dude, that would be cool if wecould fit it in I think.

Speaker 3 (01:09:41):
I think, too, we should also ask the club if we
can run the net that night.
Paul, you run great nets.
Have me run the net.
Yeah, yeah, I think it'd begreat, come on.

Speaker 1 (01:09:54):
The near-fest one was awesome Okay.

Speaker 2 (01:09:58):
I'll put the Ed Fong up, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:10:00):
I don't know, dude, the place is in a big hole, so I
don't know if we're going toget much out for VHF UHF.

Speaker 3 (01:10:08):
Because I'm most positive I've been able to hit
the repeater.
Over from that, ed Fong willget it.

Speaker 1 (01:10:12):
Okay.
So then this is your task.
My friend, take Mr Ed Fong withyou when you go to check out
the site and take pictures forus.
Or, if I don't go with you,take your Ed F with you and see
if you can hit it from there.
If you can hit the repeater,then yeah, we'll do it we'll
cross ban.

Speaker 2 (01:10:25):
Repeat from Ralph's house or if, if we could put, if
we could like duct tape, the EdFong to like a painter's pole,
and then like strap, that tolike the side of the RV or
something.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
I've got my 10 meter DX commander in the truck, so
the 10 mast is probably tallenough.
You could throw the head phongon top of that yeah, whatever
we'll play around with it onfriday and, yeah, that'll be
your job, todd figure it out toyou know whether or not we can
actually have reliable uh, youknow access to, uh, the repeater
there.
Uh, where the heck measuredistance.

Speaker 2 (01:11:03):
So I'm gonna do here from here, measure distance come
on, are you looking at a, atopographical map?

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
um, no, I'm just measuring the distance between
here and it's not the distance,it's going to be the mountain.
Oh, I know, but once I do that,then I can actually divide,
change the map location here.
Let's go, come on but it maynot.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
I mean, you'll be higher than the mountain, so
maybe if you're up above it, youprobably be able to it's 22
miles from skydive peperol toroughly greenfield state park.
Based off of that's, easy yeah,the challenge is let me go to
map layers here you need to jumpat 7 o'clock so you can run the

(01:11:46):
net terrain.

Speaker 1 (01:11:52):
I don't think I would have time to run the net let me
just do a little screen sharehere so you can see what we're
looking at here yeah, throw iton there.
Okay, pretty good you can gofull screen okay, yeah, you see
that mountain right there.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
Temple mountain is right in the way you got a
couple of them here.
I mean, there's yeah, but I wastalking.
I was talking about the templemountain.
Yeah, that's a big mountain tothe left.
That's going to be a bear.

Speaker 1 (01:12:28):
Yep, so there's this range in here and you know if,
depending on where you are, likeI don't know, are we on this
other side.
I can't see where it's tellingme here, so it should be here,
not there uh oh yeah, that mightwork, that might work just

(01:12:50):
split the uprights there, myfriend.

Speaker 3 (01:12:52):
Yeah, let me see yeah , thread the needle there, we
should get it.

Speaker 1 (01:12:55):
Yeah, that might do it terrain we're on terrain and
where's greenfield?
That's the center of greenfield.
Where's oh?

Speaker 2 (01:13:03):
yeah, go right to the , go right to otter lake, yeah
yeah, okay, yeah, silly buttondrag.

Speaker 1 (01:13:11):
Okay, let's back up here.
Okay, so, let's go back toterrain.
So yeah, oh yeah, maybe thatshould work.
I don't know, dude, you got athousand foot range here.
What are you going to do?
Ricochet off of these other two, so you split this little gap

(01:13:33):
here.

Speaker 2 (01:13:35):
No, dude, you're talking about me starting Cuso's
at like 11,000 feet, true, Iforgot about that.

Speaker 1 (01:13:44):
Yep, sorry.
Flatlanders were thinkingers,were thinking on the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:13:48):
And so, yeah, by the time I get to 5,000, then I'll
be all done and I got plenty oftime to figure out my landing.

Speaker 1 (01:13:59):
That's possible.
I'll let you guys figure thatone out.
So yeah, people aren't showingup.

Speaker 2 (01:14:05):
I gotta get Pepper to okay it, right, yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:14:12):
So sounds like you can handle that and then, todd,
you can figure out the antenna.

Speaker 3 (01:14:20):
Yeah, go back on that map and let's see where the
repeater's at.
Oh, our repeater.

Speaker 2 (01:14:28):
Yeah, what's Paul?

Speaker 1 (01:14:29):
just go to pulpit uh, penardville, goffstown, bedford
, new boston puppet rock okayshould see pulpit yeah, pulpit
rockhead just go there, that's.

Speaker 3 (01:14:43):
Pulpit Road.
Oh yeah, that's why ourrepeaters.
Well, look at all thosemountains, it's like right in
the middle.

Speaker 1 (01:14:52):
Yeah, it's sucky, it's too many.

Speaker 2 (01:14:54):
Well, it's fucking New Hampshire.
We got mountains, man.

Speaker 1 (01:14:59):
He's 800 feet ASL but he's literally like on the
backside of you know, two verylarge mountains to our South,
which is so funny because it'slike you can hit them, the damn
repeater, from all the way downin Burlington, but you can't get
it, you know, when you're inlike a town.

Speaker 3 (01:15:13):
So yeah, I don't know that there's a lot of mountains
in between there.
Yep, there is, but you know youmight be in Greenfield to this.

Speaker 1 (01:15:23):
I'm always positive this those mountain range in
here because it's a thousandplus fifteen hundred feet.
You're not getting over thatwith the repeater, especially
getting into here, because, likehe's probably somewhere down in
here, like here's Uconunic, sohe's probably somewhere down in
this area.

Speaker 2 (01:15:41):
I'd have to figure out exactly where, but I don't
think he's clear shot to well,only one way to find out, todd
do a test, bring a painter'spole and the Ed Fong and see if
you can hit the repeater.

Speaker 1 (01:16:01):
Yep all right, you heard it here, task item.
So, yeah, I think, um, overall,uh, we'll do the two separate
things, one of the concerns andwhat, and I'll just put it out
here for everybody.
So if you're coming for the dayand you want to operate, that's

(01:16:22):
fine.
You don't have to operate witha camera on you.
I had a couple of folks ask meif I operated, do I have to be
on the live stream?
No, you can turn the cameraaround.
As long as we get your audio,that's okay.
I mean, that's at least getspeople engaged, or you can put
it out to the, you know, thegeneral area or whatever, but
you don't have to be on camera.
If you're camera shy or don'tlike to be recorded, just don't

(01:16:42):
shut it off.
Well, I mean, you won't be ableto shut it off, just don't
unplug it.
That way, at least the nextperson can come around.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
And yeah, how are you keeping all these cameras
battery powered.

Speaker 1 (01:16:54):
Well, paul's got 200 amp hours in his trailer and the
only thing we have to do is runhdmi cables to his trailer so
he can plug into, you know, oneor two cameras, and that's not a
big deal to get the power offof his computer.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):
They'll be powered.

Speaker 2 (01:17:07):
They won't have their little cameras and obviously
solar panels, like I'm going tohave the solar panels out.

Speaker 1 (01:17:15):
Yeah, if worse comes to worse, we're sacrificing your
Jeep.
You got enough battery power tolast us all weekend.
Yeah, I just drive on gas upthere yeah, outside of that, you
know, that's kind of my thoughtis.
And then, you know, I'll bringone more tent for the food
portion so we can kind of zip itup and, you know, keep some of

(01:17:36):
the bugs out of it not thewildlife, of course, but um,
yeah, and then, todd, you'llhave your solo stove so we can,
you know, do campfires and hangout and drink beer.
So bring your favorite beverage.
If you're coming and you'regoing to spend the evening hours
, or even if you're coming forthe day, feel free to bring your
own beverage Drink responsibly.
Obviously, I'm not going to bepolicing folks, but you know,

(01:17:58):
outside of that, you know we'regoing to have fun, hang out.
You know we may live streamfrom another channel, if you
know we so feel led to.
You know, whatever I, you know,ultimately that's.
You know that that's kind ofhere nor there.
We'll figure that out, we'lldefinitely.
I I'm assuming somewhere alongthe line we might even live
stream friday night just to hangout.
But if we don't, you know we'll, yeah, we'll all do something

(01:18:19):
fun.
So, yeah, and we can I'll, I'll, I'll try and.

Speaker 2 (01:18:23):
Uh, I'll try and source one of the propane hoses
to go from like quick connect toyou know, like your blackstone
oh cool, oh yeah, cool, sweet.

Speaker 1 (01:18:34):
Yeah, we'll use that for like breakfast, I mean.
So the menus, if you haven'tread the website Tuesday,
saturday for us, friday night,we're gonna.
You know, if you're coming tohang out and you're coming
friday night, uh, reach out tous.
I already got a list of folksthat are coming.
We're gonna do food, so youknow we might do steaks and you

(01:18:55):
know beers or whatever.
We'll figure out that menu, butthat's just beers and steaks
steak and beer whiskey and beerwhiskey and steak is, I think,
is what we call I'll make my, uh, I'll make some tips, stuff,
okay, yeah we'll put togetherkind of a potluck stuff for
everybody.
There's going to be the eveninghours and you know, I know bob
coughs coming in uh, you know,earlier in the week and mike as

(01:19:17):
well.
So you know we'll make runs towherever we need to go to grab
other stuff.
So you know, don't worry aboutthat.
Um, but you know, if you gotquestions, reach out to me and I
think there's a coordinate Ithink there's a nice little
breakfast place right in townwell, we don't even have to do.
I mean, so we're gonna get upthat morning and I'm figuring
we're gonna have to run outanyway.
So yeah, we can all probably goout and get breakfast and then

(01:19:39):
do all of the stuff we need todo.
And if paul's gonna be jumping,you know we'll have to
coordinate whatever we have todo for him getting that ready.
So we'll have all of our htsand we'll uh put a, an apb, out
to the rest of the world so theyknow he's jumping with a, and
then people will start rollingin, probably around 10, 30, 11,

(01:19:59):
12, whatever um setting up, andthen we'll have our stationery
ready to go and we'll just,we'll kick it off ourselves to
start it off, I guess, and thenwe'll hopefully, as you come in,
we'll have stuff going on.
You can participate, hang out,you know there's lake stuff,
hiking, whatever to keep youbusy.
If you're, you know, soinclined, then part of the menu

(01:20:22):
stuff that people are payinginto is we'll order a shit ton
of pizzas for lunch with a bunchof different stuff to go with
it, and then Saturday night,you'd have it like a Uber eats.
The dude show up you know howmuch that would run cost-wise.
So I'm going to run out and getpizzas, right, and then, yeah,
it would be insane.

(01:20:43):
And then I'll probably go out alittle bit later in the
afternoon to go pick up thebarbecue um, because it will
save us some money and nothaving them delivered to
greenfield and then that'll bebarbecue that night with a whole
bunch of fixings and stuff, andand then, uh, yeah, it was
hanging out doing the thing andand then get up saturday morning
it'll be just like a lightbreakfast kind of stuff.

(01:21:04):
So if you like your ownbreakfast things, bring whatever
, and you know definitely coffeefor sure.
And then get up saturdaymorning it'll be just like a
light breakfast kind of stuff.
So if you like your ownbreakfast things, bring whatever
, and you know be definitelycoffee for sure.

Speaker 3 (01:21:09):

I think right downtown is alittle, we can just go get
breakfast, like uh yeah yeahyeah, I want to get a couple
little things.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):

pounds of bacon, you know somehash browns, yeah we could just
throw that shit on theblackstone.

Speaker 3 (01:27:23):
And you know we're all working out those details,
so we need it, if you're yeah,we also ray novak, you're
invited yeah, listen, and, andthose of you that are listening,
let's, um, let's, start gettingon iso's case to take the day
off for the weekend and get hisass up here.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
So he's got an excuse he needs to be, he needs to be
here if he gets knocked up andbecomes pregnant, that's you
know, he'll be able to leave so,iso, if you're listening,
watching, just take the day off.

Speaker 3 (01:27:50):
It's not going to kill your retirement.
For one weekend to hang outwith those guys from up north
and see what we're really like,I think you'd have a good time
yep, he would.

Speaker 1 (01:27:59):
He knows he would.
That's his problem.
He's just afraid that he'sgoing to come here and have such
a great time that he's nevergoing to want to leave, which,
you know, we'll figure that outlater when we cross that road.
But, uh, yeah, all good there.
So, yeah, that that's kind ofthe nutshell of what's going on.
I know people have been askingabout 24-hour poda and all of

(01:28:20):
that, uh, but, um, yeah, well,more details will definitely be
coming out.
But that's you know what we'rethinking, always interested in
hearing your input.
So, heck, you want to.
You know, let us know what wethink we should do.
We did talk a little bit aboutkind of the antenna setups.
I've got a big buddy hex thatwill be set up and we'll
probably put a triplex aroundthere with a bunch of bandpass

(01:28:42):
filters.
So I know Matt from relianceantenna will be up there that
weekend, so he's gonna bringsome of his antennas and I think
he's got a bunch of bandpassfilters.
So I know matt from relianceantenna will be up there that
weekend, so he's going to bringsome of his antennas, um, and I
think he's got a couple of coolthings in the works.
So, uh, you know we actuallymight have, uh, vhf, uhf.
Well, we definitely have vhfand uhf there in terms of just
regular fm.
So, you know we will makecontacts that way, uh, to add to
that list.

(01:29:02):
So, yeah, all all good,everybody wants to contribute.
You know we're shooting for the, you know the over the moon, uh
, this weekend to see if we can,uh, you know, do some really
cool stuff yeah, and it would bereally cool if you know
somebody like ray k exactly.
You know ray well, you know.
And you want to put a bugger tosay, no, not you like our

(01:29:25):
listeners.
There are somebody out therethat might be good friends with
ray.
You know I don you want to puta bug in his ear to say, no, not
you like our listeners.
There are somebody out therethat might be good friends with
Ray.
You know I don't know Ray well.
I know he was.
He got somewhere.
The guys over at what everydayham.
They got an interview with him.
So you know he's obviously openfor stuff if he wants to come
by, you know maybe he's in thearea his RV, tell him to pull it

(01:29:52):
in.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
We'll, you know, we'll give them a space.
You can come hang out with us.
Hey is, uh, I'll reach out.

Speaker 1 (01:29:54):
I'll reach out to julie from photo power, because
I I hear she's gonna be the endwith ray, yeah, I would say even
julie and von, like if you guysaren't doing anything that
freaking weekend road trip comeon road trip up this way.
You need to turn the newengland states green.

Speaker 3 (01:30:05):
This is your opportunity yeah, hey, um, yeah,
that this is going to be yeah,the more the merrier.
I think it's going to be funand, you know, hopefully this is
works out as well as I hope itdoes and that it becomes like an
annual thing.
I'd like to do it every year.
It'd be fun, but it could be acomplete disaster.

(01:30:27):
The bands suck.
Everybody's like this sucks.

Speaker 1 (01:30:30):
I don't think it'll be that bad.
If anything, it'll be.

Speaker 3 (01:30:33):
You two will be like.
It'll be like two in themorning.
You guys will be so shit-facedand I'm going to be the only one
up.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
I have to stay up all night for keeping the thing
going.
Speaker 3 0 K dad.
It's the way it's going to be.
So it's my prediction.
Speaker 4 0.
If we do this yearly right.

Speaker 1 (01:30:52):
Then that gives me a reason to come back to New
Hampshire every year.
We're not good enough.
We'll never see Paul again.

Speaker 3 (01:30:56):
If we don't do this.

Speaker 1 (01:30:57):
Speaker 0 5th we're rearranging field day next year,
so we're not doing it at thebarn and you better have your
ass up here, cause I gonna needsomebody who knows how to
operate all right, I guess, uh,yeah, I'll have to take a few
weeks, a couple weeks off andI'll come up.

I'll come back up and yeah inconvenience.

Speaker 1 (01:31:18):

I mean, you know it's kind ofsky's the limit, but I figured
24 hour.

Speaker 3 (01:32:23):
poter is probably something on everybody's minds
and I mean I'm I'm reallypsyched for me personally
because I miss field day becauseof baseball and this is going
to be like my opportunity to behanging out with people and
please don't blow your radiobefore that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:36):
I'm going to test it.
Leave it in the box, do nottouch it.
Leave it alone the day of we'lltest it.
We'll test it on friday.
That way we know everything'splugged in the right way and
you're not putting power throughit and blowing the finals.
Yeah, all right.
So all good there, but yeah, I,I, I funny radio story is like

(01:32:56):
I put my dx10 up on all the theboards and everything else like
that, and then uh gave it togary during field day and he
didn't want it to buy it for meand I took it back and I'm like
maybe I don't want to sell it.
And then guess where it's at inmy equipment closet on the
shelf for a long time.
And then we have a new ham inthe club.
I don't know if you met Gary,right?
No, probably not.

(01:33:17):
I know Paul has it, but I knowI don't know if you did or not.
Paul, todd, no, todd, no.
But uh, yeah, he was like, oh,he's been asking me questions
and like he's a typical on fireham wants to get on the air soon
.
And I'm like he's like, oh, Inoticed you happen to put on
your on the, you know, g-ser, uh, you know for sale list that
you were selling your radio.
I'm like man, I don't know if Iwant to sell my radio.

(01:33:38):
And he's like, oh, I'll pay youthe 12.
You know 12, 50 for it, becauseyou know I'm seeing the dx10s
going for less than that now ona lot of the you know the spots.
And he's like I'll pay cash forit.
