N5VLZ:
GE all, and welcome to the Oct 20 2025 PCL
Net. No early checkins.
Net order is Daryl, Bob (NY), Rick, and whoever
else shows up.
Coming up on Sunday, Nov. 2, is the TIME CHANGE
back to Standard Time. The time for this, and
most other nets won't change, but UTC Times for
the nets will be an hour later. You recover that
hour of sleep you lost in the spring, but while
it's lighter in the morning, it's dark by late
afternoon. Forgetting to "fall back" means you
are an hour early for church, work, appointments,
ham radio nets, etc.
Severe storms affected the region Saturday night,
with an EF-1 tornado near Bismarck in southwest
Arkansas. That brings the 2025 total of tornadoes
to 60...our yearly average is around 35. More
storms and possible severe weather are forecast
late this week into the weekend.
I finally used the SharkRF M1KE to check into some
D-Star Nets, but I may have to request a token for
AllStar Nets, even though I won't have a node, per
se. Santa got me an early Christmas present. My
guess is that he needed the coal for the cold
winter forecast at the North Pole (hi hi).
I tried to send a trains net certificate PDF file
via RMS Express (WL2K), but it wouldn't let me do
it. So, folks will have to provide a regular email
if they want a certificate after their first checkin
to that net.
At the area Kroger (where I do my gardening (hi hi)),
they have a new variety of 3 minute pizza...barbecue
chicken...DELICIOUS!! Of course, a ham radio net would
not be one without some talk of food, for H)ave
A)nother M)eal...and one should not be a bad ham, and
go to bed without supper (hi hi). Admittedly, on some
of the pizzas I got, there is ham, so I'm being
cannibalistic (hi hi).
Still no end to the US Government Shutdown in sight,
and the FCC is still closed on processing licenses. I
hope this ends soon.
GE Bob, how was your week?? >>>
**
NS2B:
GE All!
Nothing new on the radio front. Still Hamwording, and
made a couple contacts on Net105 (20m packet).
Went down to the track and flagged my last event of the
year. World Racing League, was supposed to be an 8 hour
enduro. Was more like an 8 hour demolition derby!
But it was good day, nonetheless.
The only thing I hate about the time change is my dogs
don't care. They still want to be fed at their time, which
will be an hour earlier for me!
You'll have to try all the modes on the M1KE!
That's it for me. BTU Daryl >>>

N5VLZ:
Bob, the animals don't care about a lot of things...they
are the rulers of the residence (hi hi). FB on the deal at
the track, even though it was a demolition derby. FB on
HamWord and 20m packet. I will be doing more with the M1KE...
I'm told my audio is crisper.
GE Rick..hope you had a good Thanksgiving last week. >>>
**
VA7RBP:
GE Daryl and all on NET.
Yes, Thanksgiving was great. Our son-in-law cooked up a 22 lb
bird, plus a couple of pumpkin pies, then we had another dinner
at friends the next night (Monday). It'll take a while to work
off.
The rest of the week wasn't that great. I buggered my back up
moving the summer tires from the car to the back porch... that
took most of the week to resolve... it's still a bit tender.
Yesterday, we got our COVID an FLU shots, so we're both sore,
muscles, joints, headaches...
I wasn't able to get to the shack for a couple of days
(withdrawal). When I could, I did my usual 40M and 20M PACTOR,
but mostly did a lot of reading and napping.
That's the gist of my week. BTU Daryl >>>
**
N5VLZ:
Rick, FB on the Thanksgiving food, but bummer on the back injury.
I keep pinching that left hip sciatic nerve, and getting left hip
flexor tendonitis, which makes it hard to walk. I'll see my PCP next
Wednesday, and will either get the flu shot there, or if I qualify,
get a flu shot study at a local hospital. I'm not messing with the
Covid shots anymore...I've had little energy since that 3rd booster.
Understand on the napping...2 medications I take at lunch knock me
out within 30 minutes.
That's it for round 1...back to the top for final comments.
Bob, thanks for the use of the BBS...hope you can get the node issue
fixed soon...anything else?? >>>
**
NS2B:
Nothing more here - everyone have a good week - and yeah, i hope i
figure it out - 73 >>>
**
N5VLZ:
Thanks for being here, Bob...keep me posted on the status.
Rick, anything else?? >>>
**
VA7RBP:
Snow is starting to appear on the mountain tops and in the high
mountain passes, glad I got the snow tires on last Tuesday.
Well, I guess that's all I have for this week.
Everyone have a great week, stay well, and 73 until next time.
BTU Daryl >>>

N5VLZ:
Thanks for being here, Rick...hope your back gets better soon.
That will do it for tonight's PCL Net. I'll get the scribe posted
shortly, before I have to do another net. Have a good week, 73 and
