What's your favorite thing you saw this weekend?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
My favorite thing this weekend was really just hanging out
with everybody at the park. Yeah, yeah, the the show's good,
but this for me, this is more about coming and
hanging out with everybody and getting stuff done. So I
did get some good videos. I'm gonna start editing those tonight.
Want to get back to the camper and then head
(04:58):
out first thing in the morning, back us up kill.
Speaker 2 (05:01):

Speaker 1 (05:03):
When it's just the core eight hours with the camper,

bit shorter than me.
Speaker 2 (05:10):

Several people didn't make it today night. Yo didn't go,

Speaker 1 (05:24):
So last night was a rough night for a lot
of people.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Yeah, yeah, not me. I was fine, but yes, very true.
But we had a really good time at the campsite
and the new Nobo trailer did very well. And Steve
rented a Forest River Nobo of a different model, and
he used that what did you think about that?
Speaker 12 (05:44):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
There's a couple of little issues with it, but that's
it's a rental, so that's to be expected. I definitely,
I'm with you. I don't want to slide out when
I get mine. Yeah, that's there's loose panels and I
think it's got a water leak in the slide.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
So oh does it?
Speaker 1 (06:03):
Yeah, okay, all right, if we leave the water on
the same leaks.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Oh okay, all right, but yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
That's just stuff I've got on the list to tell
the girl.
Speaker 8 (06:12):

the live stream next Sunday along with Steve good Game,
and we're going to present numbers and statistics and some
(06:43):
new ideas we had for next year and that kind

Speaker 7 (07:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:18):

Speaker 13 (07:19):
Sharp with gear. That's could be another expensive trip at
some point.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah every time. Yeah, they had cages for
like two or three or four new radios today, and
I'm like, you know what, I got enough of these things.
I don't know, I don't need anything. That's right case that.
Speaker 13 (07:33):
Case that you have for the eight ninety one that
we were using Colorado. Yeah, like I want to rip
off and copy that set up. Yeah that was pretty good.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
Yep, yeah, yeah, that's that's a good I took that
to Utah. Yeah, when I flew out there to help
Buddy Pole move last year, and I'm taking it if
I go on an airplane and I want to take
one hundred, but that's what I take. Yeah, it's easy,
easy to go, so cool. Did you get your battery
and gas from me? Did I give that to you?
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Yeah? Okay, I got that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):

anything else you saw at the show that you thought was.
Speaker 8 (08:23):
Cool, flea Market's always good. I like, I actually liked
the boat anchors.
Speaker 13 (08:29):
They had a lot of Drake and Collins that were
that looked they were stored in like brand new. I
saw a couple of Transhilciana so like one hundred bucks too,
fully functional.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Those are good every time you go there. There's always
good deals on that. Yeah, if you're into boat anchors.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Rob got a new, a very good condition eight one
seven seven for two hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
That's a good deal.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And that same guy had eight fifty seven for five
hundred dollars. It did have a couple of little lines
in the screen. He powered it on for me this morning.
You could totally read what it was. But uh, you know,
five hundred bucks for an eight fifty seven. I walked
that boneyard this time last year looking for an eight
fifty cent I never found one. Yeah, so at least
and that was the second one I saw today, say, a.
Speaker 13 (09:10):
Table for table the flea market at the Hospitals of
US just because.
Speaker 8 (09:13):
Yeah, all high quality?
Speaker 2 (09:14):

Did you go home this morning?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
So?
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Oh you guys, Okay, come on, I'm gonna move the
camera back a bit so that so that both of
you can get in here.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm not sure what to think of you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Oh well, so y'all were go, yeah, okay, I'm gonna
hold it up a little bit like that. How's that good?
Mike and Becky, you guys were on my channel the
first time about a year ago tonight.
Speaker 14 (09:58):
Yeah, it's been a really crazy year. Yeah yeah, our
second hand fest ever and keep going.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And what a serendipitous night like we uh we came
on this live stream last time, and I think there's
several people who found out about our channel that way
and very thankful.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
Yeah, thanks to this guy over here kind of introduced.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Us to the world a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And sure, it's been a crazy year, good fun. How
how how much posting have you done in the last year.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
So we try to post a couple of videos a
week when we can.
Speaker 15 (10:32):
And one of the things is that, like our channel
is primarily about outdoor adventures and in doing CW and
so we one of the things that we post regularly
are are prota activations, right, and we purpose purposely go
at a relatively good speed, good but slow speed. That
way it can be good practice for anybody who's learning CWEA.
Speaker 14 (10:52):
And then we started posting like learning morse code stuff
and we're just trying to help people get on the.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Air and begin our Ah.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Jef Cinton is definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
What's the what's the site that you're doing again, learn
morse code dot org, dot org.
Speaker 14 (11:04):
If you go to dot com, it's really old something.
Yeah if it looks really really old, switched to dot org.
The owner of dot com, Well sorry, if you're the owner,
it's great site.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Learn morse code learn Morse code dot org.
Speaker 15 (11:17):
It has a collection of all the things that we
would want to tell ourselves if we were.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Start starting today. So Becky and I made our first
c W, my first CWT contact on two meters.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 16 (11:30):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It was just across the park, but we were trying
to get people interested in CW and teaching them how
to sit down at the at the radio, and it
was that was a fun contact to make.
Speaker 14 (11:39):
It's kind of like having someone right next to you
walking through it. I think I got Salty Waalt and
kdimrd just a lot of people that some people I've
never been on.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The air before, so it was really kind of core
experienced with W.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah right, yeah, right, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So and then also, uh, Becky often encourages people not
to have Keith right and to get on the air,
and but she doesn't do voice mode that much, so
she got her trying to have mic friens.
Speaker 14 (12:05):
I might have had a little mic frying, yeah, because
I got Carlos and Paul in the air parachute mobile
and I was like, when do I go When do
I go right? Five, five, nine or two numbers three numbers.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
On two numbers usually voice. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (12:20):
So yeah, it's been a great, great hand fest.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
That's for sure.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yeah, this is a fun show.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
This I I keep telling people this is the funnest
hand fest out there. The other ones are great too,
but this one's a lot of fun. I like the
camping aspect of it and and just kind of everything
hanging out with everybody before the show. So yeah, great, we.
Speaker 14 (12:38):
Have our spot booked already for next year.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, I did that. I did this weekend as well.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Yeah, they go quick.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
If you want to camp, yeah, if you're gonna come
next year, the time is now to do it.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So well, okay, so tell everyone about your channel h HAM.
Speaker 14 (12:52):
Radio duo and we're primarily like he said, c W
we go out and activate and you get to see
us mess up, experience do a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Of fun stuff.
Speaker 15 (13:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, And we love little bitty QRP radios
and getting outdoors and and backpacking and doing.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
That kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 14 (13:09):
We get We get great DX on five watts.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's amazing.
Speaker 14 (13:13):
I got Netherlands like six thousand miles away.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wow, random, nice, very cool. Well, thanks guys, appreciate appreciate
y'all hanging out and thanks for being here again. Look
forward to next year. Yeah, all right, we'll go past
the money, past the mic.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Good.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Thanks, thanks a lot, Lon. The first one was across
the pavilion. Yeah, and then they later on somebody who
had the seven to five had to leave, so they
walked out into the field, so it wasn't really across
the park. But you know, we made a lot of
contacts sitting down, sitting around talking with each other on
(13:48):
one forty five two as well like the next day,
so and we made some APRS contact. Oh you say
APRS and this guy shows up? Have you not had
enough of me this weekend? This week, I'm won't see
you again to a February probably, so that's probably. Yeah.
So what's up man? How are you?
Speaker 16 (14:05):
Can't complain? Been a great, great, great, great week.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Did you pick up anything today or yesterday this weekend?
Speaker 17 (14:11):
I got a couple of things, but probably the most
interesting thing would be the uh spake five drone note.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh right, so I picked it up.
Speaker 16 (14:21):
I want to get it back to the house.
Speaker 17 (14:22):
Put it up at about three hundred and ninety feet
and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
On a mast or on a like on a water tower. No,
on the drone. Oh okay, so you're gonna actually put
it on a throne, fly it. You're gonna fly it. Yeah,
well that's what it's I mean, that's what it's supposed
to be done. And obviously that's very temporary because the
drone only lasts like twenty minutes.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Right, So I got three batteries.
Speaker 17 (14:40):
But hey, what if we can get a you know,
every Sunday at one o'clock, whether permitting, we fly the
drone for an hour because I got three batteries.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That's a good idea. So that's a really good idea.
Speaker 17 (14:51):
How far how much can we open up the mesh
you know and kind of bridge some of those islands.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a good idea. Okay, I like it, so cool.
We'll see what happens. Yeah, So, how was APRS this weekend?
Speaker 16 (15:05):
Wall to wall?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 17 (15:07):
You could not get a word in edgewise literally if
you turned the frequency on and just listen to it.
It was packet after packet after packet on top of packets, right,
So it was wide open this weekend.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
But it was good.
Speaker 17 (15:20):
I can't tell you how many messages I got on
aprs this week, including some from you, some from me.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah. I would call him on the radio, he wouldn't answer.
I'd send him an APRS to aprs droid and he'd
come right back to him. He's like, where are you.
I'm like, come over here. And we checked some wind link.
There's a there's a win link node, a packet win
Link node on two meters that's very easily accessible from
an HT antenna on top of Monte Sano. So that
(15:45):
was that was fun to do. Check win link a
couple times this weekend. And the digipedter that you set
up worked. Goodell, tell him about the Temp one one,
explain a little bit how that works.
Speaker 17 (15:57):
Okay, So what I did Saturday, just as an spearman,
and I've done this once before, the little small ham
fist was I set up a TEMP one one digiti
in my truck so that if you're running the Temp
one one path uh as the first part of your packet,
it would go through my truck, which was in repeating
that back out with fifty wives and getting us all
(16:18):
the way up to the mountain where.
Speaker 16 (16:19):
The Digitpeter and iGATE is located.
Speaker 17 (16:22):
So I could literally send messages that would eventually wind
up into the internet if I wanted to send a
long distance message on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So, did do you set aprs DROYD and that's what
you're running in the truck?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Right?
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Okay, do you set that to the eyegate mode to
do that and then just set the pathage not.
Speaker 16 (16:40):
The iegate mode because I don't have Internet in the truck.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh okay, so just the digit. It's just digipeating.
Speaker 17 (16:44):
The eye gate's being done by the local Digitpeter I
gate right here.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Ome the mountain. Okay, okay, so but yeah, what was
that in for HSV?
Speaker 17 (16:54):
I believe, Yes, a yeah wind linked.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Note and great whin link note.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, that worked really well. So we weren't on All
Star much this weekend because there's because my truck is
on Verizon. There's not much of a Verizon signal on
the mountain. But AT and T actually worked pretty good.
I had good luck with AT and T most of
the weekend, So I get doing those things.
Speaker 16 (17:14):
It's still not gonna win any races.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
No, for sure.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Not.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Well, Frank was complaining it took him like thirteen hours
to upload one video.
Speaker 17 (17:21):
I'll upload when I get home.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, so good, cool man. Anything else
about the show you.
Speaker 17 (17:27):
Like, Nope, we're gonna come in earlier next year.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Uh huh.
Speaker 17 (17:30):
So an entire week of nonsense up there on the
mountain next year.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
That's a good way to describe it. An entire week
of nonsense.
Speaker 16 (17:37):
Yeah, and a little bit of ham Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 18 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, we say that the Friday thing is a Poda event,
and it is, and there's like three people that activated
Puda and one hundred and twenty people that we're just
hanging out talking. So but we did we did do
some Poda up there as well, so a little bit, yeah,
cool man, Well, thanks for hanging out. Always a pleasure.
It's always fun to walk through the Hamfest with this
guy because we're both about the same height and people say, hey, Jason,
(18:04):
we're both turning around so and they're like, oh my gosh,
double whammy.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Trying to figure out which one you're talking right.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, it's always it's always fun. So, well, thanks man,
I appreciate it. Go hand the mike to somebody else
whoever wants it. Let's see what did you say out there?
Leave Monta Center. Reservations can only be made a year out.
How did you reserve August? Because you go up to
the window. That's that's true for the website. If you're
(18:33):
on the website, it can only be a year out.
But if you're here, go up to the window and
talk to the check in people and they will. They
will let you book checks for the while check in
talking about reserving your campsite for next year.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Oh yes, absolutely, by all means, do it as early
as you possibly can.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, they're saying that the website still won't let them,
which the website has to be exactly one year out.
But if you walk up to the window, if you're here, yes,
and you can do it. Because I did it on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I think I did so.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
Alabama residents are allowed to do it earlier than one year.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
And I think I've got some special.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Considerations on the website. I'm not sure.
Speaker 16 (19:14):
I know that's what I was told.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
And then.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I used my veterans exemption. Yeah, well they asked me
if I was a veteran and I'm not, but yeah,
you should do that.
Speaker 17 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:26):

Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm tired, tired. I don't have air conditioning in my
Oh that's true. You were in the tent all weekend,
weren't you.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
So I do have one of those eco flow combination
air conditions the way too, Yes, okay, I think that
will come with me next year.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh yeah, I mean you have electric on the a campsite. Yeah,
you could have totally done that this, Yes, okay, but.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Uh, I mean it hasn't it hasn't been bad. But yeah, man,
it's it's it's tiring, but it's fun.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
It is fun.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
This has been a great time. Yep. I was.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I was commenting with Mike on the way over here
that it's like, I can't believe the week is over already.
Mike and I have been here since Monday. Oh yes,
we met here at the campusite Monday and we've we've
been running around.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Uh since fun day, and it's.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's it's long, it's fun.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yep. I'm ay good at home. Yeah, I'm ready to
go home too.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (20:34):
Fortunately it's only a six hour drive from here.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh okay, so I was I was asking everybody and
how long it took them to get home. So it's
so good.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
That was twelve hours coming down because I did six
hours of poda.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh well, okay, so good. Okay, you're just gonna go
straight home.
Speaker 16 (20:48):
Though, probably because I've activated every state.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Between her and Earth. Okay, all right, that's good. Nothing spectacular.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
I don't think there's any like special parks or anything
along the way.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah okay, yeah, all right, good, well cool? What did
did you? Did you buy anything really cool? This week?
Speaker 11 (21:07):
I got the crow bar kit that Tom makes, right
so uh and and he's, uh, well, I'm not gonna
steal his thunder, but he's apparently making one that can
handle a little bit more uh power, so.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
With a higher current ratings, so geared.
Speaker 19 (21:27):
Moore for and I'm looking at it in conjunction with
the station controller that George uses, right so, and it
also is he's working with George, I guess, to integrate
that together so it has the DCN network for management.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
So okay, I think he said probably another another two
months and I'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So I'm good for good.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
And other otherwise I think it wasn't. I didn't see
anything new that wasn't out, although Tokyo.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Hamfairs now next week.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, and I'm sure we might see something new next week.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
If we're gonna see something new, it's probably gonna be
next week for Toko ham Fair. Yea yeah. Yeah. And
the picture is squished. Guys, somebody asked me to go
why is the picture squished? I think it's because I've
got my z fold phone opened up all the way
and it just did know what to do with that aspect.
So this is an audio podcast. If you don't like
the video, just listen to the audio. It's cooling, so.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
I wouldn't look at myself anyways.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Cool man, Well good, it's fun hanging out to him.
Speaker 2 (22:31):

for more.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah. So yeah, I did.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
I did that last year. It worked out great.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
It was a fun week to get away and good.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
So I think I'm gonna continue to do that as
a as a as a regularly scheduled vacation.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
And I came in a day early this year and
I'm gonna do that again next year, and it was
it was nice to kind of have a chill day
on Wednesday and then Gigaparts Day on Thursday, and then
Coda Friday.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
And although I suggest coming down on Monday, yeah, I'll
look at that.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Make it a full week.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Make it a full week? Why not? So good? Well,
thanks man, appreciate it, Thank you. I guess give the
mike to Kyle. He's standing there chomping at the bit
going on that side. So I told so, everyone is
asking what your numbers were, and I told him we
were going to make that announcements on the live stream
next week. Yeah, we're gonna so you can. We're not
(23:27):
gonna do it tonight, right, Yeah, but suffice it to
say we did very well. Yeah, it's gonna be an
exciting thing to watch for next weekend.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And I talked a good game today and got hit
and he said he was available that day. He said
he's getting home like the day before or something cool,
So he's available. He may penciled it in on his calendar,
so he should be able to join us that Sunday
as well.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Good deal.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
So, so what did you did you get anything? Did
you buy anything this weekend?
Speaker 12 (23:55):
I bought a lot meter from uh don w a
four ye kits dot com.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
He uh got a little lot meter for the contest station.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
That's the guy with the with the with the new
satellite rot Yeah. Yeah, yeah, so I bought one of those.
Speaker 12 (24:10):
And uh now, other than that, didn't have anything else
that I was looking for. But it's been a week
we Uh there's been some drama.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Here so.
Speaker 12 (24:23):
I slashed my finger open cutting onions on Thursday night,
so that was drama. And then I woke up this
morning with flat tire. So the last two days, last
three days have just been like good grief.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's always something.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And you rented Pixie your grandma for the weekend.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Yeap Gota got a portable Grandma Renald and Grandma.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Twelve old off grid.
Speaker 18 (24:48):
Grandma twelve old off grid, Grandma full full uh full kilo.
Speaker 13 (25:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
She was great.
Speaker 12 (25:02):
So yeah, but yeah, it was a it was a
good week. Getting here on Wednesday and leaving I'm probably
sure you you talked about this. Getting here on Wednesday
and leaving on Monday is more relaxing, you know, because
here we are kind of like just talking about the
weekend instead of like getting getting out of Dodge on
(25:25):
Sunday morning.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Right and rushing. Well, and the thing is, the show
goes till three o'clock on Sunday. But if you don't
buy Sunday Night, you have to check out of your
campsite on Sunday morning by ten am. Right, So even
if you don't stay till Monday, it's usually a good
idea to buy Sunday Night.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
That way you can leisurely pack up.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And check out whatever time you want to Sunday afternoon.
But I've done that a couple of years. But you know,
I kind of like hanging out tonight and just kind
of decompressing from all the stuff that's going on. Get up,
hit the road tomorrow morning. Yeah, got well.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
And the nice thing is, you know what time you
ought to be out by tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I think it's ten am. Oh really, I think it's
I think it's ten am.
Speaker 12 (26:05):
Okay, So yeah, I get up and have a lazy
morning and yeah, and then I'm gonna head to the
Smokey's for a little bit and then uh go back home.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
And yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Good, Rob said me maw Is on the air.
Speaker 12 (26:22):
That's that's in that backyard with a bunch of pixie
poop is a poda? Might be a poopa?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 16 (26:34):
She she was great.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
She was setting me updates and.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah, good run on my grandma. Good. All right, so
you're going, uh, you're going to the Smokies. Then you
won't be home till.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Next weekend, right, gonna be home?
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Like, I know, when's our stream the twenty fourth?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, it's a week. It's it's a week from this
stream right here.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
Yeah, I'll probably be home in the twenty second.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
So okay, And how how long you're driving tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Four hours? Okay, that's not bad at all. Yeah, good.
Speaker 8 (27:02):

Speaker 2 (27:04):
This is a nice brewery. Yes, yeah this did you
come here with this last year? No? Oh really? Okay, yeah,
this is a nice place. They do have an outside
patio you can bring dogs, but work inside right now.

Speaker 6 (28:19):
I looked at a lot of things that I would
like to tinker with, that I would like to mess with,
but I just would convinced to trade money for okay.
Yeah yeah, So if I had more money, I probably
would have been more convinced.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I got a few in and out things.
Speaker 20 (28:36):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Actually actually got some.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Videos, Yeah, got some videos recorded.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Good, Jason's been on my butt. So I stopped at
one table and they actually asked me, and then I
got a three and one in that one side.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So oh, they asked you for an interview. Oh yeah, good,
that's always nice to hear.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Yeah, people would love to interview me, so there you go.
One guy gave me a book, so I got a
lot to ring. I don't know if you've seen it.
There this guy there that had like this homebrew sdr No.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I don't think I saw that.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
He said, if you can hear it on the flex,
you can hear it on my homebrew radio. So really
I got to check more into that. Interesting. Yeah, was
he in the boneyard?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, yeah, yeah, I did not see that.

Yeah, I can't do the weak thing week by week.
I tried. I tried for you.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
You tried, and I heard you say earlier you didn't
like it. It was too stressful or something.
Speaker 7 (29:39):

himself in the chat. Right now, that's good. Yeah, a
good time.

I did jim for a tandem when I did a
parachute bubble with Paul, and then yesterday we did one,
and today we did one.
Speaker 3 (31:53):
Uh.
Speaker 21 (31:54):
Today was just a tandem and it was not just
a tenant, was a tende with Jess and it was amazing.
Speaker 16 (31:59):
Uh.
Speaker 21 (32:01):
She uh, you know, I won't say she got bullied
into it, but she was definitely almost she was definitely
highly encouraged. Night the bonfire, the whatever what do we
call that? That's not the bonfire. We don't have a fire.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
No, we have a fire. It's too hot. But yeah,
the after hours chat.
Speaker 16 (32:20):
Yeah, the after hours chat, it became a.
Speaker 21 (32:24):
Well, you know, and Steve piped up and said, you know,
if you're if you're brave enough I'll pay for it.
Speaker 16 (32:28):
And she's just like, you know what, I'm just gonna
make him eat his words.
Speaker 21 (32:31):
So you know, she's like, yeah, I'll do it. And
she was up at seven fifteen this one. He's like,
let's go, let's go, let's go. She was just to
take a you know, take a deep breath. I got
other stuff that I got to get done here tonight.
So went to the show, went back to the drop
soon this afternoon, and then weather sucked us in.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Man, Yeah, we.
Speaker 16 (32:52):
Had a bunch of weather.
Speaker 21 (32:53):
We got to do the one jump, and as soon
as we landed, the drop Zone says we're done for
the day.
Speaker 16 (32:56):
It's just not We're not going to dodge this weather
for the rest of the day.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
And so.
Speaker 16 (33:02):
I wish I've.
Speaker 21 (33:04):
Gotten a chance to do maybe ten jumps here, but
you know, weather's weather.
Speaker 16 (33:08):
And yeah, not that we're gonna do about that. Yesterday.
Were slammed the drop zone yesterday.
Speaker 21 (33:13):
When I got there yesterday, wait time for a load
with open slots was three hours. So we got to
do I mean like, we waited three hours to make
one jump, and then we decided we could have stayed
for sunset and get one more jump. In, but we
decided that making him back to the campground and hanging
(33:36):
out with our friends was a little bit more important
to making another jump.
Speaker 16 (33:38):
And I don't regret one bad.
Speaker 21 (33:40):
It's the first time I've made it back to the
campground for Saturday night dinner. And every year in the
past I've I've eaten dinner at the drop Zone because.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
There's just yeah, yeah, it's so late. Yeah, the time
you get done waiting in line, right.
Speaker 21 (33:57):
Yeah, man, Yeah, but this is a lovely place to
come to. The Hamfest itself is not huge, but it
is big enough, and there's some deals to be found
at the In the flea market, I found some tubes
that I was looking for. Uh yeah, and uh I
got a couple. I got a couple of armorlocked pages
(34:17):
and you know, other than that, you just skyt I
tried to skyde have anyhow.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Somebody asked, did you drop anything this year?
Speaker 21 (34:25):
I did not drop anything this year, including including Jim,
although although someone you know threw a very large sum
of money at me and said I'll give you this
much if he just doesn't hook him, and I was like, no,
I don't want the paperwork, right, it's not that it's
not worth the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Sorry, yeah, but.
Speaker 16 (34:47):
Yeah, it's a it's a lot of fun this year.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And I heard n a Yo said he would jump
if Jess jumped and then he backed out.
Speaker 16 (34:54):
Yes, yes, I wasn't gonna call Mike and who told
me that?
Speaker 5 (34:57):
But he told me that?
Speaker 16 (34:58):
But yeah, he yeah, he chickened out. Not that I
blame him.
Speaker 21 (35:04):
I mean he had a bit to drink last night,
so I jumped today would have resulted and uh and
things that nobody wants. Yeah right, yeah, but yeah, man,
it's uh, it's always funny. It's it's a blast to
come out here and be able to make jumps and
take people for tandems. That and not just people, but
like like I do tandems where I work every other
(35:26):
weekend all the time.
Speaker 16 (35:28):
I enjoy them all.
Speaker 21 (35:29):
But it's a it's a different feeling to take someone
I know, uh personally and take them for a tandem.
It's it's a level of trust that you can go
anywhere into a tandem, right hang on.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Hope, Oh no, you just hit the record, But okay,
it's fine. Yeah I thought I messed it up.
Speaker 21 (35:47):
Yeah, I thought there's a level of trust in uh,
in someone saying yeah, I will go do a tandem
with you, right right, and I appreciate that deeply. H So,
you know, Jim and Jess, thank you so much. I
like aviously, I appreciate your trust. And if anybody's coming
next year and you're interested in doing a tandem, we'll
hit me up. We'll get it scheduled out and uh
(36:09):
we'll go have some fun in the sky.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
Sounds good, man though, fun hanging out dude, like always
like do this, do this, do that, do that? All right,
but go give it to uh, give it to Lou
he hadn't been up here yet. Yeah, I'd rather give
it to Pink. You know, she's okay, that's fine, that's fine.
Think is a far better you know, well that's true. Yeah,
(36:32):

He wanted to jump with the ninety seven hundred to
day and do one hundred watchs mine two two, and

I'm Lou with Hiking and Hammon and Chris is over
there aka Pink, my partner in crime and life and
Hiking and Hammon so and she has just started her
own channel. Now I'm closing out on one thousand. Finally.
I did take like a year hiatus, so okay that
that kind of hurt me a little bit. I had
some other stuff going on, but uh, last time I checked,
(39:49):
I was at nine hundred and seven, So give me
a subscriptions on trying to get to that magical one
thousand marks. And Pink has now started her own channel,
so give her a subscription. I think she's got like
three people right now, and it's called Hiking with Paint,
so you should be able to find her. No, she's
been dropping some shorts this weekend.
Speaker 2 (40:08):
Good good, good. You do you pick up anything cool
this weekend?

was at odds and ends and yeah, little stuff.

forty five minute drive, so yeah, well, I was asking
everybody how far they were going. You guys win the
closest win.
Speaker 1 (40:42):
I think it's good and it's bad because she's been
driving back and forth, which is why we were a
little bit late getting here because she was coming back
up from the house. She took some stuff down there
tonight just to get it back down.
Speaker 2 (40:53):

a little bit. Did it seemed like there were less
people to you.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
It didn't seem like that yesterday. Yesterday seemed very full
to me. But the number between yesterday and today was today.
The numbers were very small, very light. Yeah, very light
numbers today.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
But talking to the vendors, I asked them all the
same I asked them all the same thing, that seemed
like it was a little lower this year to you,
and they were like, if it was, we couldn't tell
by our sales. So everything that everybody had great, great sales,
and they were they were pretty much going home with
almost no you know, no merchandise left over.

hanging out with everybody and getting stuff done. So I
did get some good videos. I'm gonna start editing those tonight.

But we had a really good time at the campsite
and the new Nobo trailer did very well. And Steve
rented a Forest River Nobo of a different model, and
he used that what did you think about that?
Speaker 12 (05:44):
I liked it.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
There's a couple of little issues with it, but that's
it's a rental, so that's to be expected. I definitely,
I'm with you. I don't want to slide out when
I get mine. Yeah, that's there's loose panels and I
think it's got a water leak in the slide.
Speaker 5 (06:02):

Yeah, okay, all right, if we leave the water on
the same leaks.

like two or three or four new radios today, and
I'm like, you know what, I got enough of these things.

saw a couple of Transhilciana so like one hundred bucks too,
fully functional.
Speaker 8 (08:38):
Those are good every time you go there. There's always
good deals on that. Yeah, if you're into boat anchors.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
Rob got a new, a very good condition eight one
seven seven for two hundred and fifty bucks.
Speaker 8 (08:50):
That's a good deal.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And that same guy had eight fifty seven for five
hundred dollars. It did have a couple of little lines
in the screen. He powered it on for me this morning.
You could totally read what it was. But uh, you know,
five hundred bucks for an eight fifty seven. I walked
that boneyard this time last year looking for an eight
fifty cent I never found one. Yeah, so at least

I'm not sure what to think of you guys.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Oh well, so y'all were go, yeah, okay, I'm gonna
hold it up a little bit like that. How's that good?
Mike and Becky, you guys were on my channel the
first time about a year ago tonight.
Speaker 14 (09:58):
Yeah, it's been a really crazy year. Yeah yeah, our
second hand fest ever and keep going.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
And what a serendipitous night like we uh we came
on this live stream last time, and I think there's
several people who found out about our channel that way
and very thankful.
Speaker 8 (10:16):
Yeah, thanks to this guy over here kind of introduced.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Us to the world a little bit.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
And sure, it's been a crazy year, good fun. How
how how much posting have you done in the last year.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
So we try to post a couple of videos a
week when we can.
Speaker 15 (10:32):
And one of the things is that, like our channel
is primarily about outdoor adventures and in doing CW and
so we one of the things that we post regularly
are are prota activations, right, and we purpose purposely go
at a relatively good speed, good but slow speed. That
way it can be good practice for anybody who's learning CWEA.
Speaker 14 (10:52):
And then we started posting like learning morse code stuff
and we're just trying to help people get on the.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Air and begin our Ah.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
Jef Cinton is definitely.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
What's the what's the site that you're doing again, learn
morse code dot org, dot org.
Speaker 14 (11:04):
If you go to dot com, it's really old something.
Yeah if it looks really really old, switched to dot org.
The owner of dot com, Well sorry, if you're the owner,
it's great site.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
Learn morse code learn Morse code dot org.
Speaker 15 (11:17):
It has a collection of all the things that we
would want to tell ourselves if we were.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
Start starting today. So Becky and I made our first
c W, my first CWT contact on two meters.
Speaker 8 (11:29):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 16 (11:30):
It was really cool.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
It was just across the park, but we were trying
to get people interested in CW and teaching them how
to sit down at the at the radio, and it
was that was a fun contact to make.
Speaker 14 (11:39):
It's kind of like having someone right next to you
walking through it. I think I got Salty Waalt and
kdimrd just a lot of people that some people I've
never been on.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
The air before, so it was really kind of core
experienced with W.
Speaker 5 (11:51):
Yeah right, yeah, right, yeah, that's great.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
That's great.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So and then also, uh, Becky often encourages people not
to have Keith right and to get on the air,
and but she doesn't do voice mode that much, so
she got her trying to have mic friens.
Speaker 14 (12:05):
I might have had a little mic frying, yeah, because
I got Carlos and Paul in the air parachute mobile
and I was like, when do I go When do
I go right? Five, five, nine or two numbers three numbers.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
On two numbers usually voice. Yeah.
Speaker 14 (12:20):
So yeah, it's been a great, great hand fest.
Speaker 10 (12:23):
That's for sure.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Yeah, this is a fun show.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
This I I keep telling people this is the funnest
hand fest out there. The other ones are great too,
but this one's a lot of fun. I like the
camping aspect of it and and just kind of everything
hanging out with everybody before the show. So yeah, great, we.
Speaker 14 (12:38):
Have our spot booked already for next year.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
Yeah, I did that. I did this weekend as well.
Speaker 8 (12:43):
Yeah, they go quick.
Speaker 2 (12:44):
If you want to camp, yeah, if you're gonna come
next year, the time is now to do it.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So well, okay, so tell everyone about your channel h HAM.
Speaker 14 (12:52):
Radio duo and we're primarily like he said, c W
we go out and activate and you get to see
us mess up, experience do a lot.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Of fun stuff.
Speaker 15 (13:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, And we love little bitty QRP radios
and getting outdoors and and backpacking and doing.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
That kind of thing. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 14 (13:09):
We get We get great DX on five watts.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
It's amazing.
Speaker 14 (13:13):
I got Netherlands like six thousand miles away.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Wow, random, nice, very cool. Well, thanks guys, appreciate appreciate
y'all hanging out and thanks for being here again. Look
forward to next year. Yeah, all right, we'll go past
the money, past the mic.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Good.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Thanks, thanks a lot, Lon. The first one was across
the pavilion. Yeah, and then they later on somebody who
had the seven to five had to leave, so they
walked out into the field, so it wasn't really across
the park. But you know, we made a lot of
contacts sitting down, sitting around talking with each other on
(13:48):
one forty five two as well like the next day,
so and we made some APRS contact. Oh you say
APRS and this guy shows up? Have you not had
enough of me this weekend? This week, I'm won't see
you again to a February probably, so that's probably. Yeah.
So what's up man? How are you?
Speaker 16 (14:05):
Can't complain? Been a great, great, great, great week.
Speaker 2 (14:08):
Did you pick up anything today or yesterday this weekend?
Speaker 17 (14:11):
I got a couple of things, but probably the most
interesting thing would be the uh spake five drone note.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Oh right, so I picked it up.
Speaker 16 (14:21):
I want to get it back to the house.
Speaker 17 (14:22):
Put it up at about three hundred and ninety feet
and see what happens.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
On a mast or on a like on a water tower. No,
on the drone. Oh okay, so you're gonna actually put
it on a throne, fly it. You're gonna fly it. Yeah,
well that's what it's I mean, that's what it's supposed
to be done. And obviously that's very temporary because the
drone only lasts like twenty minutes.
Speaker 8 (14:39):
Right, So I got three batteries.
Speaker 17 (14:40):
But hey, what if we can get a you know,
every Sunday at one o'clock, whether permitting, we fly the
drone for an hour because I got three batteries.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
That's a good idea. So that's a really good idea.
Speaker 17 (14:51):
How far how much can we open up the mesh
you know and kind of bridge some of those islands.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
That's a good idea. Okay, I like it, so cool.
We'll see what happens. Yeah, So, how was APRS this weekend?
Speaker 16 (15:05):
Wall to wall?
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yes, it was.
Speaker 17 (15:07):
You could not get a word in edgewise literally if
you turned the frequency on and just listen to it.
It was packet after packet after packet on top of packets, right,
So it was wide open this weekend.
Speaker 7 (15:19):
But it was good.
Speaker 17 (15:20):
I can't tell you how many messages I got on
aprs this week, including some from you, some from me.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Yeah. I would call him on the radio, he wouldn't answer.
I'd send him an APRS to aprs droid and he'd
come right back to him. He's like, where are you.
I'm like, come over here. And we checked some wind link.
There's a there's a win link node, a packet win
Link node on two meters that's very easily accessible from
an HT antenna on top of Monte Sano. So that
(15:45):
was that was fun to do. Check win link a
couple times this weekend. And the digipedter that you set
up worked. Goodell, tell him about the Temp one one,
explain a little bit how that works.
Speaker 17 (15:57):
Okay, So what I did Saturday, just as an spearman,
and I've done this once before, the little small ham
fist was I set up a TEMP one one digiti
in my truck so that if you're running the Temp
one one path uh as the first part of your packet,
it would go through my truck, which was in repeating
that back out with fifty wives and getting us all
(16:18):
the way up to the mountain where.
Speaker 16 (16:19):
The Digitpeter and iGATE is located.
Speaker 17 (16:22):
So I could literally send messages that would eventually wind
up into the internet if I wanted to send a
long distance message on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
So, did do you set aprs DROYD and that's what
you're running in the truck?
Speaker 3 (16:34):
Right?
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Okay, do you set that to the eyegate mode to
do that and then just set the pathage not.
Speaker 16 (16:40):
The iegate mode because I don't have Internet in the truck.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Oh okay, so just the digit. It's just digipeating.
Speaker 17 (16:44):
The eye gate's being done by the local Digitpeter I
gate right here.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
Ome the mountain. Okay, okay, so but yeah, what was
that in for HSV?
Speaker 17 (16:54):
I believe, Yes, a yeah wind linked.
Speaker 8 (16:56):
Note and great whin link note.
Speaker 7 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, that worked really well. So we weren't on All
Star much this weekend because there's because my truck is
on Verizon. There's not much of a Verizon signal on
the mountain. But AT and T actually worked pretty good.
I had good luck with AT and T most of
the weekend, So I get doing those things.
Speaker 16 (17:14):
It's still not gonna win any races.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
No, for sure.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
Not.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
Well, Frank was complaining it took him like thirteen hours
to upload one video.
Speaker 17 (17:21):
I'll upload when I get home.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah, so good, cool man. Anything else
about the show you.
Speaker 17 (17:27):
Like, Nope, we're gonna come in earlier next year.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Uh huh.
Speaker 17 (17:30):
So an entire week of nonsense up there on the
mountain next year.
Speaker 2 (17:34):
That's a good way to describe it. An entire week
of nonsense.
Speaker 16 (17:37):
Yeah, and a little bit of ham Radio.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Yeah, just a little bit.
Speaker 18 (17:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, we say that the Friday thing is a Poda event,
and it is, and there's like three people that activated
Puda and one hundred and twenty people that we're just
hanging out talking. So but we did we did do
some Poda up there as well, so a little bit, yeah,
cool man, Well, thanks for hanging out. Always a pleasure.
It's always fun to walk through the Hamfest with this
guy because we're both about the same height and people say, hey, Jason,
(18:04):
we're both turning around so and they're like, oh my gosh,
double whammy.
Speaker 7 (18:09):
Trying to figure out which one you're talking right.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Yeah, it's always it's always fun. So, well, thanks man,
I appreciate it. Go hand the mike to somebody else
whoever wants it. Let's see what did you say out there?
Leave Monta Center. Reservations can only be made a year out.
How did you reserve August? Because you go up to
the window. That's that's true for the website. If you're
(18:33):
on the website, it can only be a year out.
But if you're here, go up to the window and
talk to the check in people and they will. They
will let you book checks for the while check in
talking about reserving your campsite for next year.
Speaker 9 (18:49):
Oh yes, absolutely, by all means, do it as early
as you possibly can.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Well, they're saying that the website still won't let them,
which the website has to be exactly one year out.
But if you walk up to the window, if you're here, yes,
and you can do it. Because I did it on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (19:03):
I think I did so.
Speaker 11 (19:05):
Alabama residents are allowed to do it earlier than one year.
Speaker 7 (19:09):
And I think I've got some special.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Considerations on the website. I'm not sure.
Speaker 16 (19:14):
I know that's what I was told.
Speaker 6 (19:17):
And then.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
I used my veterans exemption. Yeah, well they asked me
if I was a veteran and I'm not, but yeah,
you should do that.
Speaker 17 (19:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 9 (19:26):
Yeah, I think I think we've been here a couple
multiple years now.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, I think they realized we're.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Will be back we'll tell everyone who you are.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Tim. My name is Tim.
Speaker 9 (19:36):
I'm a cancer.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
I like long walks on the beach.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I'm tired, tired. I don't have air conditioning in my
Oh that's true. You were in the tent all weekend,
weren't you.
Speaker 11 (19:47):
So I do have one of those eco flow combination
air conditions the way too, Yes, okay, I think that
will come with me next year.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Oh yeah, I mean you have electric on the a campsite. Yeah,
you could have totally done that this, Yes, okay, but.
Speaker 9 (20:04):
Uh, I mean it hasn't it hasn't been bad. But yeah, man,
it's it's it's tiring, but it's fun.
Speaker 7 (20:08):
It is fun.
Speaker 2 (20:08):
This has been a great time. Yep. I was.
Speaker 9 (20:11):
I was commenting with Mike on the way over here
that it's like, I can't believe the week is over already.
Mike and I have been here since Monday. Oh yes,
we met here at the campusite Monday and we've we've
been running around.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Uh since fun day, and it's.
Speaker 3 (20:28):
It's it's long, it's fun.
Speaker 2 (20:30):
Yep. I'm ay good at home. Yeah, I'm ready to
go home too.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (20:34):
Fortunately it's only a six hour drive from here.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Oh okay, so I was I was asking everybody and
how long it took them to get home. So it's
so good.
Speaker 9 (20:41):
That was twelve hours coming down because I did six
hours of poda.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Oh well, okay, so good. Okay, you're just gonna go
straight home.
Speaker 16 (20:48):
Though, probably because I've activated every state.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Between her and Earth. Okay, all right, that's good. Nothing spectacular.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
I don't think there's any like special parks or anything
along the way.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah okay, yeah, all right, good, well cool? What did
did you? Did you buy anything really cool? This week?
Speaker 11 (21:07):
I got the crow bar kit that Tom makes, right
so uh and and he's, uh, well, I'm not gonna
steal his thunder, but he's apparently making one that can
handle a little bit more uh power, so.
Speaker 7 (21:25):
With a higher current ratings, so geared.
Speaker 19 (21:27):
Moore for and I'm looking at it in conjunction with
the station controller that George uses, right so, and it
also is he's working with George, I guess, to integrate
that together so it has the DCN network for management.
Speaker 7 (21:42):
And stuff like that.
Speaker 9 (21:43):
So okay, I think he said probably another another two
months and I'll be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
So I'm good for good.
Speaker 9 (21:51):
And other otherwise I think it wasn't. I didn't see
anything new that wasn't out, although Tokyo.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Hamfairs now next week.
Speaker 9 (22:00):
Yeah, and I'm sure we might see something new next week.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
If we're gonna see something new, it's probably gonna be
next week for Toko ham Fair. Yea yeah. Yeah. And
the picture is squished. Guys, somebody asked me to go
why is the picture squished? I think it's because I've
got my z fold phone opened up all the way
and it just did know what to do with that aspect.
So this is an audio podcast. If you don't like
the video, just listen to the audio. It's cooling, so.
Speaker 9 (22:25):
I wouldn't look at myself anyways.
Speaker 5 (22:29):
Cool man, Well good, it's fun hanging out to him.
Speaker 2 (22:31):
You're gonna go You're gonna come in on Monday again
next year?
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Oh?
Speaker 7 (22:34):
Absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (22:35):
This is just I'm making it one of my vacations
for more.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah. So yeah, I did.
Speaker 11 (22:40):
I did that last year. It worked out great.
Speaker 7 (22:42):
It was a fun week to get away and good.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
Uh.
Speaker 9 (22:44):
So I think I'm gonna continue to do that as
a as a as a regularly scheduled vacation.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
And I came in a day early this year and
I'm gonna do that again next year, and it was
it was nice to kind of have a chill day
on Wednesday and then Gigaparts Day on Thursday, and then
Coda Friday.
Speaker 9 (23:01):
And although I suggest coming down on Monday, yeah, I'll
look at that.
Speaker 7 (23:04):
Make it a full week.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Make it a full week? Why not? So good? Well,
thanks man, appreciate it, Thank you. I guess give the
mike to Kyle. He's standing there chomping at the bit
going on that side. So I told so, everyone is
asking what your numbers were, and I told him we
were going to make that announcements on the live stream
next week. Yeah, we're gonna so you can. We're not
(23:27):
gonna do it tonight, right, Yeah, but suffice it to
say we did very well. Yeah, it's gonna be an
exciting thing to watch for next weekend.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
And I talked a good game today and got hit
and he said he was available that day. He said
he's getting home like the day before or something cool,
So he's available. He may penciled it in on his calendar,
so he should be able to join us that Sunday
as well.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
Good deal.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
So, so what did you did you get anything? Did
you buy anything this weekend?
Speaker 12 (23:55):
I bought a lot meter from uh don w a
four ye kits dot com.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
He uh got a little lot meter for the contest station.
Speaker 2 (24:05):
That's the guy with the with the with the new
satellite rot Yeah. Yeah, yeah, so I bought one of those.
Speaker 12 (24:10):
And uh now, other than that, didn't have anything else
that I was looking for. But it's been a week
we Uh there's been some drama.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
Here so.
Speaker 12 (24:23):
I slashed my finger open cutting onions on Thursday night,
so that was drama. And then I woke up this
morning with flat tire. So the last two days, last
three days have just been like good grief.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Yeah, yeah, it's always something.
Speaker 8 (24:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And you rented Pixie your grandma for the weekend.
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Yeap Gota got a portable Grandma Renald and Grandma.
Speaker 2 (24:47):
Twelve old off grid.
Speaker 18 (24:48):
Grandma twelve old off grid, Grandma full full uh full kilo.
Speaker 13 (25:01):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
She was great.
Speaker 12 (25:02):
So yeah, but yeah, it was a it was a
good week. Getting here on Wednesday and leaving I'm probably
sure you you talked about this. Getting here on Wednesday
and leaving on Monday is more relaxing, you know, because
here we are kind of like just talking about the
weekend instead of like getting getting out of Dodge on
(25:25):
Sunday morning.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
Right and rushing. Well, and the thing is, the show
goes till three o'clock on Sunday. But if you don't
buy Sunday Night, you have to check out of your
campsite on Sunday morning by ten am. Right, So even
if you don't stay till Monday, it's usually a good
idea to buy Sunday Night.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
That way you can leisurely pack up.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
And check out whatever time you want to Sunday afternoon.
But I've done that a couple of years. But you know,
I kind of like hanging out tonight and just kind
of decompressing from all the stuff that's going on. Get up,
hit the road tomorrow morning. Yeah, got well.
Speaker 12 (25:57):
And the nice thing is, you know what time you
ought to be out by tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (26:01):
I think it's ten am. Oh really, I think it's
I think it's ten am.
Speaker 12 (26:05):
Okay, So yeah, I get up and have a lazy
morning and yeah, and then I'm gonna head to the
Smokey's for a little bit and then uh go back home.
Speaker 7 (26:15):
And yeah, it's gonna be.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Good, Rob said me maw Is on the air.
Speaker 12 (26:22):
That's that's in that backyard with a bunch of pixie
poop is a poda? Might be a poopa?
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 16 (26:34):
She she was great.
Speaker 3 (26:35):
She was setting me updates and.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Yeah, good run on my grandma. Good. All right, so
you're going, uh, you're going to the Smokies. Then you
won't be home till.
Speaker 3 (26:46):
Next weekend, right, gonna be home?
Speaker 5 (26:48):
Like, I know, when's our stream the twenty fourth?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
Yeah, it's a week. It's it's a week from this
stream right here.
Speaker 12 (26:53):
Yeah, I'll probably be home in the twenty second.
Speaker 5 (26:55):
So okay, And how how long you're driving tomorrow?
Speaker 2 (26:59):
Four hours? Okay, that's not bad at all. Yeah, good.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
So, yeah, I like this brewery.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
This is a nice brewery. Yes, yeah this did you
come here with this last year? No? Oh really? Okay, yeah,
this is a nice place. They do have an outside
patio you can bring dogs, but work inside right now.
Speaker 12 (27:16):
The catfish bites, I mean, I hate to be ten
years old, but the catfish bites were awesome.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 12 (27:23):
Mike was like, what are those dino bytes?
Speaker 2 (27:26):
I'm like, could be all right, man? All right, well
it was fun hanging out looking forward to next year.
Speaker 7 (27:33):
Yeah, who's right to pass the mic to.
Speaker 2 (27:34):
Whoever whoever wants it. No Brett, maybe all right, he's
over there. Hey, jb.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Come on, buddy.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
This brewery is called it's in Huntsville. It's called Back
forty Brewing. It's kind of on the west end of town.
I think if I'm not turned around and the speed
I did a speed test on the Wi Fi here
when I got here, and I got a hundred megabytes
down and one hundred megabytes up.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
And I'm remember that.
Speaker 2 (28:00):
From last year that the wife Fi was really good.
Speaker 5 (28:03):
Joe Brett, Hey, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Man? Oh my god, there's a stool there.
Speaker 7 (28:09):
Hey, what's up?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
What's up? How are you? I'm all right good? Did
you pick up anything cool this weekend? Just?
Speaker 7 (28:15):
Uh no, no no.
Speaker 6 (28:19):
I looked at a lot of things that I would
like to tinker with, that I would like to mess with,
but I just would convinced to trade money for okay.
Yeah yeah, So if I had more money, I probably
would have been more convinced.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
I got a few in and out things.
Speaker 20 (28:36):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
Actually actually got some.
Speaker 5 (28:38):
Videos, Yeah, got some videos recorded.
Speaker 6 (28:41):
Good, Jason's been on my butt. So I stopped at
one table and they actually asked me, and then I
got a three and one in that one side.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
So oh, they asked you for an interview. Oh yeah, good,
that's always nice to hear.
Speaker 6 (28:55):
Yeah, people would love to interview me, so there you go.
One guy gave me a book, so I got a
lot to ring. I don't know if you've seen it.
There this guy there that had like this homebrew sdr No.
Speaker 2 (29:09):
I don't think I saw that.
Speaker 6 (29:10):
He said, if you can hear it on the flex,
you can hear it on my homebrew radio. So really
I got to check more into that. Interesting. Yeah, was
he in the boneyard?
Speaker 7 (29:19):
Yep?
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Okay, yeah, yeah, I did not see that.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
If I didn't listening to Jason too much.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
I do make videos sometimes sometimes.
Speaker 7 (29:29):
Yeah, I can't do the weak thing week by week.
I tried. I tried for you.
Speaker 2 (29:35):
You tried, and I heard you say earlier you didn't
like it. It was too stressful or something.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
Right, It's just it become work.
Speaker 6 (29:41):
Yeah, And I'm not doing it for work.
Speaker 7 (29:43):
You are, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
You left your computer open because you just talked the
chat out of myself, which is probably just Kyle. Was Kyle,
That's good. I'm the greatest as Joe Bretts typing to
himself in the chat. Right now, that's good. Yeah, a
good time.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
We've done a lot this week, and uh we always
say it's unfortunate that we have to wait a whole
another year to come back. We get to meet yeah,
here and there at different places. Yeah, this is kind
of our relaxed some video and see some good stuff
and relax at the same time.
Speaker 3 (30:19):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
How far drive do you have tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (30:22):
Hopefully just four hours pulling the camper Okay, you know,
get on the side of the road or something that
may be extended.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Yeah, but hopefully that doesn't happen.
Speaker 7 (30:31):
Yeah, so yeah, not near as far as you.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
Yeah, yeah, so far. I think I'm the furthest one.
But I don't know anyway. N Yo had said he
was nine hours, so that's almost as far as one.
Speaker 7 (30:45):

She uh, you know, I won't say she got bullied
into it, but she was definitely almost she was definitely
highly encouraged. Night the bonfire, the whatever what do we
call that? That's not the bonfire. We don't have a fire.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
No, we have a fire. It's too hot. But yeah,
the after hours chat.
Speaker 16 (32:20):
Yeah, the after hours chat, it became a.
Speaker 21 (32:24):
Well, you know, and Steve piped up and said, you know,
if you're if you're brave enough I'll pay for it.
Speaker 16 (32:28):
And she's just like, you know what, I'm just gonna
make him eat his words.
Speaker 21 (32:31):
So you know, she's like, yeah, I'll do it. And
she was up at seven fifteen this one. He's like,
let's go, let's go, let's go. She was just to
take a you know, take a deep breath. I got
other stuff that I got to get done here tonight.
So went to the show, went back to the drop
soon this afternoon, and then weather sucked us in.
Speaker 2 (32:49):
Man, Yeah, we.
Speaker 16 (32:52):
Had a bunch of weather.
Speaker 21 (32:53):
We got to do the one jump, and as soon
as we landed, the drop Zone says we're done for
the day.
Speaker 16 (32:56):
It's just not We're not going to dodge this weather
for the rest of the day.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
And so.
Speaker 16 (33:02):
I wish I've.
Speaker 21 (33:04):
Gotten a chance to do maybe ten jumps here, but
you know, weather's weather.
Speaker 16 (33:08):
And yeah, not that we're gonna do about that. Yesterday.
Were slammed the drop zone yesterday.
Speaker 21 (33:13):
When I got there yesterday, wait time for a load
with open slots was three hours. So we got to
do I mean like, we waited three hours to make
one jump, and then we decided we could have stayed
for sunset and get one more jump. In, but we
decided that making him back to the campground and hanging
(33:36):
out with our friends was a little bit more important
to making another jump.
Speaker 16 (33:38):
And I don't regret one bad.
Speaker 21 (33:40):
It's the first time I've made it back to the
campground for Saturday night dinner. And every year in the
past I've I've eaten dinner at the drop Zone because.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
There's just yeah, yeah, it's so late. Yeah, the time
you get done waiting in line, right.
Speaker 21 (33:57):
Yeah, man, Yeah, but this is a lovely place to
come to. The Hamfest itself is not huge, but it
is big enough, and there's some deals to be found
at the In the flea market, I found some tubes
that I was looking for. Uh yeah, and uh I
got a couple. I got a couple of armorlocked pages
(34:17):
and you know, other than that, you just skyt I
tried to skyde have anyhow.
Speaker 2 (34:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:22):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Somebody asked, did you drop anything this year?
Speaker 21 (34:25):
I did not drop anything this year, including including Jim,
although although someone you know threw a very large sum
of money at me and said I'll give you this
much if he just doesn't hook him, and I was like, no,
I don't want the paperwork, right, it's not that it's
not worth the paperwork.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Sorry, yeah, but.
Speaker 16 (34:47):
Yeah, it's a it's a lot of fun this year.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
And I heard n a Yo said he would jump
if Jess jumped and then he backed out.
Speaker 16 (34:54):
Yes, yes, I wasn't gonna call Mike and who told
me that?
Speaker 5 (34:57):
But he told me that?
Speaker 16 (34:58):
But yeah, he yeah, he chickened out. Not that I
blame him.
Speaker 21 (35:04):
I mean he had a bit to drink last night,
so I jumped today would have resulted and uh and
things that nobody wants. Yeah right, yeah, but yeah, man,
it's uh, it's always funny. It's it's a blast to
come out here and be able to make jumps and
take people for tandems. That and not just people, but
like like I do tandems where I work every other
(35:26):
weekend all the time.
Speaker 16 (35:28):
I enjoy them all.
Speaker 21 (35:29):
But it's a it's a different feeling to take someone
I know, uh personally and take them for a tandem.
It's it's a level of trust that you can go
anywhere into a tandem, right hang on.
Speaker 2 (35:39):
Hope, Oh no, you just hit the record, But okay,
it's fine. Yeah I thought I messed it up.
Speaker 21 (35:47):
Yeah, I thought there's a level of trust in uh,
in someone saying yeah, I will go do a tandem
with you, right right, and I appreciate that deeply. H So,
you know, Jim and Jess, thank you so much. I
like aviously, I appreciate your trust. And if anybody's coming
next year and you're interested in doing a tandem, we'll
hit me up. We'll get it scheduled out and uh
(36:09):
we'll go have some fun in the sky.
Speaker 2 (36:11):

like do this, do this, do that, do that? All right,

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
