I don't get So what pissed himoff was this number one? What pushed
his PTT was he got a fiveseven? Okay, I'm sorry, mother
(04:53):
nature just didn't cooperate with you onmy thirty four inch antenna. I think
of five to seven the pretty damngood fucking signal report in a mobile at
seventy miles an hour while you sitthere with your something tron for what is
the word to use. It's likea celestron or a quasi tron, something
that like corn uses and mud veinuses, and they use it on stage
(05:15):
when they're in bands, and youcan make this thing do whatever you want,
right arba or tront not arbitron,something like that. But anyways,
quason, I don't know what itis, but it's expensive and it's rack
mounted. It's a forty eight vaultphantom power supply all that stuff. Well,
number one you're on right now.I'm set to two point seven killer
(05:36):
hurts a bandwidth on single sideband,so I can't appreciate your audio fidelity,
Okay, but the fact is hegot a five to seven right and then
and then he didn't like the factthat he just made contact with somebody that
was using this little eight hundred dollarsmedio of the radio when he just had
(05:57):
to make it clear that his retirementis what I'm talking to. Right,
So he's got a HEXP and that'sgreat. You want to HEXP one,
a DX one on one, fine, don't cut me short, and I'll
tell you why this really pisses meoff. Pushes my PTT because when I
have these conversations, if I don'ttalk about my radio, it goes on
(06:18):
and on until I tell them whatI'm on. Then the conversation is squelched
right there, Okay, So that'swhat really makes me mad. I'm I'm
I'm happy that you have all thisreal estate and you bought your house to
put the TVs in the wall sothat your hamshack which was next to your
(06:41):
twenty acres of farm for your eightyyour one hundred and sixty meters quadruple wavelength
sky loop on telephone poles that youhand mounted with a Comcast bucket truck before
you retire. That's great, Butwhat matters is my thirty four inch antenna.
He gave me a good signal report, and that pissed you off,
(07:02):
and that pisses me off. Howabout that We'll save the QRZ one next
time, and if you appreciate mekeeping this at seven minutes and trying something
new, listen. Doctor Rich alwayssaid this. Doctor Rich was a radio
host in West Palm Beach, Floridafor many years with the Love Doctors.
No, I'm not copying him,but I used to listen to him for
(07:24):
ten fifteen years and every time hesaid when someone would say you should you
shouldn't do this, don't change this, he says, listen. If you
want something to not get stale,you gotta change it. You gotta make
something different to make people want tolisten. And that's exactly what I'm doing.
This may not be a hit.Nobody may email me at Hamberdyo Concepts
at gmail dot com, but ifyou do, please tell me, dude,
(07:46):
this is way better listening to thatgarbage I listened to for the last
one hundred and forty six episodes thatyou put on the podcast. But I
like listen. I like to knowingthat you guys are listen so uh,
anyways, you know what, howabout this? If you don't like that,
