Welcome to the May 12, 2025 PCL Net. No
early checkins.
Net order is Daryl, Bob (NY), Bob (OK),
Rosti, and whoever else shows up.
Sorry I missed last week, but there was a
neighborhood internet network failure, so
that made me QRT. Some idiot must have
taken out a pole with careless driving.
The SimpliSafe Alarm System is now fully
set up, and I'm really happy with it. I'm
paying about the same as I was with ADT,
but I'm getting more benefits. I had to
pay extra for installation of the outdoor
camera, but I could install all the indoor
stuff myself.
I got a huge bill from being in the nut
case/psychiatric ward last November, but
they set me up for a 4 1/2 year payment
plan, with the total charge of $32 per
month, including a $5 service fee. That
is 1 meal from eating out, so I can deal
with that.
It's still a stormy time around here, but
it's supposed to be in the 90s in a few
days. They're expecting well over 100 in
much of Texas... I'm putting some heat
safety items in next month's square dance
publication that I do.
I had to delay my second lawn mow this
month, due to the grass not growing that
much, plus of juggling finances. I have
to make a Post Office Box run Wednesday,
as I have medications coming Tuesday, and
some items from Amazon on Thursday...then
we have storms forecast Friday through the
weekend.
GE Bob (OK), you'll be after Bob (NY).
Bob (NY), I guess we lost Rosti, but I'll log
him. How was your week?? >>>
**
NS2B:
GE All!
Not a bad week. It rained most of last week.
But the weekend warmed up and was sunny.
Today was particularly nice. Almost 80!
Mowed my yard. Hauled the mower over to MJs
and mowed her yard. Then I dropped it off at
the Cub Cadet dealership to fix what I think
is a faulty fuel shutoff. From a cold start,
it acts like it's flooded. But once running it
behaves normally. They'll figure it out and
take all my money!
Not much new happening on the radio front.
Still Winlink and packet. The old Alinco DJ-G5T
I had been using for a Winlink radio I finally
decided to return it to normal HT use. I think
the battery has seen better days, so a new one
is on it's way.
That's all for me. BTU Daryl >>>

N5VLZ:
Bob, those batteries never do last, no matter what
they are in. Hope they get the mower fixed, and
you're right...they'll probably take all your money!!
We had a nice weekend, with highs in the 70s. Very
unusual for May.
GE Glenn, you'll be after Bob (OK).
GE Bob (OK), how was your week?? >>>
**
KF5TVG:
GE Daryl and all on the net!
Nothing new on the radio front, but have been
keeping up with Winlink Wednesdays and hamword.
Have been to two Neuropathy treatments since last
net. Can't say I have high hopes... This seems
very similar to treatments I tried 6-8 years ago.
They inject some B vitamins into my feet and attach
electrodes to legs and feet and give me a mild
"tingle". I guess I'll see how it goes.
That's all for now. BTU Daryl>>>
**
N5VLZ:
Bob, I've got some minor circulation issues in
my left foot, but I had to postpone 2 medical
appointments this month, due to the HMO sending
the drivers elsewhere, and I can't afford Lyft
this month, except for a PO Box run in the morning.
My sugar was down to 84 late last week, but it has
rebounded. Guess I need to get some peanut butter
(hi hi). FB on Winlink and Hamword.
GE Glenn, how was your week?? >>>
**
N3MEL:
GE everyone, been a few weeks since my last net here.
Camping season has started and we were out this past
weekend, and had a great time. I spent some time on
psk31 and made about 10 contacts on 40m. It was great
to see the activity there.
I am getting ready to send out the PKTNET instructions
for the May net starting this coming Sunday.
Been testing the new IP400 UHF high speed mesh, working
with the developers to get a kiss transport later added
so mesh device could be added to BPQ as local high speed
port.
Thats it from SEPA and BTU Daryl>>>
**
N5VLZ:
Glen, FB on camping season. Field Day is just over a month
away. I won't be doing anything with it, though. FB also on
the PKTNET deal. GL on the rest of the packet things.
Rosti has been having connection issues tonight, so I will
keep him on the log, but skip him for now, as I don't know
if he'll be back or not.
That's it for round 1...back to the top for final comments.
Bob (NY), thanks for the use of the BBS...you can let me
know of Rosti's status. Anything else?? >>>
**
NS2B:
I know he's coming in with an RF connect to N3IP. I just
don't know how stable his RF connection is.
Nothing more here. I think I need to take a nap after the
lawn mowings today. Everyone have a good week, catch you
next week! 73 >>>
**
N5VLZ:
Bob, mowing is a pain in the grass...that's why I pay
someone else to do it (hi hi). Thanks for being here.
Bob (OK), anything else?? >>>
**
KF5TVG:
Nope. Many thanks to Daryl and Bob for keeping this net
going! 73 all! BTU>>>
**
N5VLZ:
Take care, Bob...see you next time.
Glenn, you get to wrap it up tonight...anything else?? >>>
**
N3MEL:
I see Rosti here on vhf and he is using a digi and the digi
keeps dropping him.
Nothing more from here, have a great week and 73! CUL
**
Thanks for being here, Glenn.
Rosti, I better get you know before you get dropped again. >>>
**
KC3FQF:
Hi thank you for having me here, i am new to packet but enjoying
it alot
**
N5VLZ:
I'll email him a PDF file on the net...if he can get in via
telnet, he might have better luck.
That will do it for tonight's PCL Net. We will be here next
Monday, May 19, but OFF on May 26 for Memorial Day. Everyone
stay safe, healthy, weather aware, and radio-active. I will
either post the scribe in a bit, or sometime Tuesday.
73 and GN DE N5VLZ >>>
