GE All, and welcome to the Oct. 12, 2026 PCL Net.
Early checkins for Endaf, N6UTC (heading toward
PacifiCon at the end of the week)...Carl, KX4AC
(on vacation with his XYL at Disneyland)...and
Rick, VA7RBP (Canadian Thanksgiving Holiday).

Net order is Daryl, Scott, Bob (NY), Glenn, and 
whoever else shows up.

**

NK5LA:

Our next net holiday is Nov. 23 for Thanksgiving 
Week; Canada had theirs this weekend. I guess that
is why the US gets table scraps (hi hi). But, I 
wish our Canadian hams a happy holiday. Next, I 
hope Carl and his XYL took plenty of money to the 
Mickey Mouse operation in Anaheim (hi hi). I saw 
where the Day Park Pass is now over $300!! Then, 
you add in the transportation, food, souvenir, and 
other costs, you could get a nice radio instead. 
Endaf is going to PacifiCon in the northwest US 
this coming weekend.

I finally got the replacement battery for my APC
UPS unit on the main computer...a similar battery
for another UPS unit has to wait until November.
At least I didn't have to pay any property taxes
this year. When I tried to contact one of my late
brother's ex-wives this spring, I just got a bunch
of noise in the background and left a voice mail,
but never heard back. Since I had sold it all to
her for $1, it's none of my concern now.

I figured out how to work DMR and TGIF with the 
BlueDV program, and got QSO One installed on my 
smartphone. Now, if I can get the energy to work 
things. I crashed out much of today, with stiffness
and a headache. I guess the arthritis is getting 
worse with the change of seasons. There's a chance 
of storms on Wednesday, and we may see a frost or 
freeze in portions of the state this weekend, but 
it's getting to be that time of year. I'm still 
hearing different outlooks on what kind of winter 
we'll have; but we'll know for sure eventually.

I'll be doing a license exam session on Oct. 24. 
Then, I'll miss the Oct. 26 PCL Net, as I'm to have 
a chemical stress test, and an echocardiogram that 
afternoon...so Bob, NS2B, will take the net for me 
that night. I will have to make a co-pay on that, 
but it'll have to wait until early November. I also 
owe the urologist some money...it never ends (sigh!).

I need to plan to early vote later this month...as I
do NOT want to be at the polls on Election Day. And, 
2 days before, on Sunday, November 1, much of the US 
returns to Standard Time. Most net times won't change, 
but check with the various net control stations to be 
sure.

GE Scott, how was your week?? >>>

K0WAV: 


Good evening Daryl thanks for NCS and Bob thanks for 
the venue... this past week was a bit of a blur... but 
to sum up... I got my linbpq working better; in fact, 
I am on it right now. Got my ampr.org vpn tunnel so I 
have a static IP address for it.  

Went to the S.P.A.R.K.-CON hamfest in Sedalia MO, it 
was a bit light on attendance, but there were lots of 
homecomings and such that weekend around the surrounding 
states so there was some competing event.  

I was able to pick up some refurbished mini PC for a 
song and a dance, and I got "Jumped in" to the Brass 
Knuckle Gang  2m CW "gang". Check them out at bkg.club 
for more info.  my BKG number is 703.

Had some vehicle drama during the trip, but all worked 
out well and all home safe.

I will be a 1 rounder so everyone have a great week and 
7 3.  de K0WAV >>> BTU

NK5LA:

Scott, first, thanks for being here. Second, FB on the 
LinBPQ, the ampr.org tunnel, the hamfest, the new mini PC, 
and the brass knuckle gang. There are always competing 
things...that's why there's never a good time for a ham 
radio license class, exam session, club meeting, net, 
demo, hamfest, special event station, etc. -- someone, 
somewhere, is going to miss it. See you next time.

GE Bob (NY), how was your week?? >>>

**

NS2B: 

GE All!

A good week! WX was a little cool - but not complaining.

Received that Quensheng UV-K1 and put the CW firmware in it. 
I think it might make an interesting little QRP weak signal 
radio. Can't wait till the next VHF contest to try it out!

Saturday, 20M was back! Finally got to link up with my buddy 
Steve KB9PVH in Wisconsin - seemed like months since I last 
chatted with him!

Went to the track and flagged for NASA (North America 
Sportscar Association). Last race weekend of the year for 
us. It'll be snowing down there soon enough!

And finished Hamword in 4 guesses today.

That's all for me Daryl >>>

**

NK5LA:

Bob, when you mentioned that rig, I thought of a funny meme 
of the HAM Happy Meal...it's in your box...guess where I'm 
going for lunch?? (hi hi). Hope that rig works out for you. 
FB on 20m working again, on flagging the races, and hamword.

GE Glenn, how was your week?? >>>

**

N3MEL:

Good evening everyone, there has been very little radio time, 
as my wife fell Sunday a week ago, and was in the hospital 
till Friday. She broke her ankle in 3 places and dislocated 
it.

So they had to put her under to reset the leg and then install 
what works like a halo that use if you were to break your neck. 
So she is using a walker now as she can not put any weight on 
that foot. She goes back on the 19th to have the device removed 
then back into surgery for plates and screws UGH..

I felt really bad for her so I took 3 weeks off to help her 
here at the house.

So this months PKTNET starts this coming Sunday I just hope 
I can keep up this month as we will be taking JS8CALL check-ins, 
I do have a few stations around the county helping with them. 

Well that's about it from SEPA same old stuff LOL, btu Daryl >>>

NK5LA:

Glenn, so sorry to hear of your wife's fall. A ham with the local 
club, who has done a lot of work with the repeaters over the years, 
recently had his third fall within a month!! When he was at a meeting 
in August, he looked like death warmed over. So, I hope the officers 
can get things worked out, or their entire repeater deal will go down. 
After having a fall in July, I can sympathize...but, the one thing 
that really broke was the cellphone, when I lost the grip on it, and 
it fell to the porch, and shattered. The repair facility on the mailing 
label was WRONG, so they lost the phone, and I had no phone for nearly 
a month!!

That's it for round 1, back to the top for final comments.

Scott said he was a 1 rounder, so I'll move on to Bob. Thanks for the 
use of the BBS. Anything else?? >>>

**

NS2B: 

nothing more here - everyone have a good week - 73 >>>

**

NK5LA:

Take care, Bob...see you next time.

Glenn, anything else?? >>>

**

N3MEL:

No Daryl, that's it from here, have a great week 73 >>>

**

NK5LA:

Take care, Glenn...hope your wife gets better soon.

That'll do it for tonight's PCL Net. I'll post the scribe this evening 
after I finish another net. Stay safe, healthy, weather aware, and 
radio-active.

73 and GN DE NK5LA >>>


Daryl Stout, NK5LA, Little Rock, Arkansas
