Thank you for choosing to download the Ham Radio two point zero audio podcast rip. This is the audio taken out of a video or a livestream I did recently. You can catch all my videos on YouTube Ham Radio two point zero and catch us live every Sunday night at seven pm Central Standard Time for a different topic each week. Thank you for the support, and thank you for being a member of the community. All right, last time, well,

hopefully hopefully is last time. Okay, Scott, tell me if this makes a difference from this right here, this right here to this right here. Hello, much better? Yes, Bill says, way better. Okay, Okay, it's working now. Okay, Scott, I'm taking your word for it, dude, Han radio for on techies, I'm taking your word for it. It's louder mic working, it's perfect. Okay, good. The mic was not I'm still on my old phone. The mic was not seated

properly. When I took it out, I noticed the connector on the back was loose. Okay, all right, all right, we're gonna try this again. Guys. Thanks for bearing with me. Appreciate that. Wait now I can't hear the wind. That's kind of the point. Hopefully, we'll get all the viewers back. That's what did Yeah, yeah, it looks

like the uh wind All right, I'm sorry. The seat the USB adapter on the back of the microphone was it comes with the USB C and it comes with the fire whatever that's called for iPhone and which I don't use that one. But the USBC that slides on the back was loose. So once I seated it correctly, it was better. Okay, sounds really good now, Okay, thanks James. Hey, guys, let's try this again. I just got a text from Hank Stranger also he's here, so we might

go see if we could find him here in a minute. But what I was trying to say before, let me switch the camera. I can't see the uh the chat if I have my sunglasses on. That's okay, Hey Andy, how are you? So? This is Km four ACKs trailer. We've been hanging out here. This has been our hangout spot for breaks and

whatnot during the Hamfest today and yesterday. But that's his camper right there, and that's his truck right there, and then we're camped with Jess and Ken and then that's Cam nine G's truck right there, and there was another guy named Doug that was parked here yesterday with a really nice overleading rig. But all of this space out here, all of this space out here right here

is open space that could be used for camping. So they've got plenty of more room for people if you want to your campsite or your van, RV whatever out here. This is all boon docking area because there's no some of it's got electrical hookups and some of it does not, and obviously you can't see anything out there. So here we go this way. But again I said in the first video, so yeah, here's all the hookups right here for this area. This is not all the hookups. This is the hookups

for this area. I said in the first video that I wanted to do a live stream from the camp site because I don't think anybody's done that yet. We got inside yesterday part of the flea market. Josh did a live stream from the flea market yesterday. I don't think anybody's come out here yet. So this is gonna be kind of like the RV spot. If you've never been here before, this will be a good artorunity to see what you're missing out on. You've never camped here before or been out to this area.

Hey, how you doing good? Good see you? Oh, that guy's got a dweller See that dweller camper right there. Those are really nice overlanding rigs. I think I did a video about one of those in my other channel. That guy's gotta slide in right there, the Adventurer slide in telescopy masked on the back of that van right there. I'm trying to watch the chat, but the sun's bright. Yeah, Shane could land his balloon out here. Absolutely, Yeah, Shane, take off in the balloon.

By the time you get here, we'll all be packed up and leaving. So that's kind of a neat Looking at camper right there. We'll walk up to the front here in a minute. Guy's got a tar heel in the back of his coach. We are in the video right now. We're live on YouTube. We're live on YouTube. Welcome to ham Cash And that's right. See all this space back here. People could be camps back there if they want to. Okay, there we go. Look at that. There's

a that looks like a pro Master camper van there. Yeah, that's a Mercedes there. I think that's a pro Master, uh win a Baygo model there you go, cool stuff like, man, guys, I want I really want one of these camper vans. I really do. Somebody's dog. So we'll walk up to the front. You can see all the antenna's out here. This guy over here has got looks like two tar heels on his on his bobtail, semi rig I don't see that very often, but yeah, I've seen it before, but not often. And then uh, it's

a little pop up there that rock wood that's kind of neat. Tell missus two point it would buy me a camper van. I actually want to gut it out camper van that I can build out myself. That's what I want. I want it like a Dodge ProMaster or a Ford Transit that uh that has nothing in the back or has you know, maybe seats in the back can just get rid of. I can build out myself. I think that would be a fun project in a series of videos on my unplugged channel.

So that's what I would like to do if I can find. I've done some general looking for camper vans on like eBay and Facebook and auto Trader, and I found a couple that were pretty good. But I haven't bit the bullet yet. This terrain four by four from Jco is freaking rad. This is a sprinter van. I saw this yesterday. This guy's set up really cool. They'll sit up higher because well that was for for would drive, so that of course is going to sit up hire. Some of these just

sit up higher just because their overland style. This one doesn't sit up as high. But this is a ford right here. Some guys over there with the military flags, the army flag right there. See plenty of camping spots right there. There's a casita hobby at Grand Canyon. Year was talking about wanting a casita. Those are made in Texas. There's a ham and Quacker's crailer on the air. Sweet all right, yeah for a second, should be back now that's moving now, so y'all let me know if it's still

frozen. It should be okay. Now, I think the WiFi. I think the Wi Fi got me. I turned the WiFi off. The wife, they said the WiFi. It keeps telling me reconnecting, and then it reconnects and says I'm live again. So he's a starlink man packed that might work back again. Yeah, I don't think it likes the the the at and T has it? Are you hamcasion or two point oh? Two point oh? Yeah? How do you do? Good? Are you? I don't know. Sterling doesn't seem to work. See if that's any better?

Says it's back. I don't know if you guys can see it or not? Though? Hand back? Hello? Hey, hitting any key? That's good? Yeah? Right any I don't know. You don't want to like to do as are what you saw? Let me know if that's it? Says it's going. I don't know though, right now? Much better, okay, as long as I don't move back back going now, okay, welcome back. Radio batteries not included. That's a cool name. Have I seen you before? I don't recognize that name. Okay, I can see

you, T man, what's up? All right? I'm not sure how far I can walk. It's working here. It didn't work between the bathhouse and here. That's where it was, so alright, let's see. Okay, So here is the main area. That's the front gate right there where most people come in. Right over there, and that's the building we were

in yesterday right there. Sorry, This is the main area in between the buildings and pretty much everything on this side of the road is tailgate, flea market, vendor area, and then the r V stuff starts back there. I just came from back in there that bathhouse that you might be able to see the roof line on behind that white truck right there. That's where the center A signal started to drop, and I had to walk all the way

up here to get a better signal. Go figure. I wanted to walk through the r V area because again I said that, I don't think anybody's done that. But the reason nobody's done that was there's no internet back there was worth of darn Although last year I didn't have the Wi Fi to live stream, so I live streamed strictly outside and it worked fine. On my eight and T connection, it worked fine. There was no problem last year

with the outside streaming. So I don't know what AT and T did to their network between now in this time last year, but apparently they did something that was not Maybe there's just more people on it. I don't know. Kit some eighteen dollars corn dogs. I got an eighteen dollar Hamburger yesterday. Parks on the air. This guy does nothing ever for parks in the air. Huh you found a wing stop? Oh gosh, huh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he is. I talked to him yesterday. Okay,

okay, I'll go see him. I'll go see him. I'm live streaming right now. So I just called you out on live stream. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I do YouTube. You do PoTA. There's you know, I'm not saying one's better than the other, but don't worry me. Let me. I guarantee, I guarantee I have more fun than James does on PODA. There's no comparison, no comparison at all. You gotta see Dan. There's Dan. Everybody's work Dan. See you guys. All

right, have you figured out the seventy five? I've figured out about seventy five percent of the seventy five. There's a few things I haven't figured out yet. So yeah, hey, Bud, good are you? Oh you are you the other Mike? Yeah, that's right, buddy, how are you? Thank you very much? Thank you very much. Yeah, thanks a lot, guys, Yeah, I did, I did, thank you. All right. So, so far, so good on this connection.

So we'll see how well it goes down walking down here. Yeah, so all this is lined up and down the street is pretty much all flea market stuff. Okay, I'm gonna put my sunglasses back on because right you guys aren't chatting right now, which is okay. But if you want to have any questions, that's the indoor swap area right there. Walked through there yesterday, some empty table. I'm pretty sure they sold all the tables, but some people didn't show up. Oh well, so I'm gonna walk down this

way, but I don't want to. I don't know how far I want to go. It's gonna lose connection again. Hey, Dennis, see you in there. Andy ham Shack w X five FWT Team Mobile for the you know, T Mobile has been working out here. There's two or three guys that actually have T Mobile. Probably out of the ten or twenty thousand people here, there's probably six of you that actually use T Mobile, and the two people that I've met yesterday that I have T Mobile. It is working

great. So I should have brought my Mint Mobile simcard with me, is what I should have done. But again I did this last You're on AT and T and had zero issues with it, so I didn't expect any issues this time. I don't use T Mobile. On a regular basis because it does not work at the hunting lease at all, so I can't go to T mobile. They don't have enough coverage outside of the metroplex areas. So you could see there's camping like these two rows look like they're all tents and

whatnot, pop up canopies and tents. And then over here's camping over to the left of the camera. Right now, Hey, look at that. There's an old timey minor saw. That's pretty cool. So far this down this way, we can get Tom KB five f h Q and his friend, I can't remember that guy's name. They were out doing satellites out here yesterday, single sideband satellites in this area. So we'll see if we can get to them here in a minute. Alright, let's see or the flea

market area. There's some guys that are camping on the other side of the road right there. Go up there here in a minute, more camping over there. Then we we came from that direction of there, on the other side of bath House. That's where we started. Pretty close. That's the Friday thing. So yeah, you're right, you're right. Have radio and radio tomorrow and radio today. That is what I call my Friday shopping videos. So this is the back row here. Some more campers over there,

guys parked along the back fence here. I'm not sure what that. Oh, oh, that's where the uh, that's the uh. You see those white tents there with the AC two was in them. That's where the forums are held. Those three tenths right there. I haven't caught a format handcasion for the last several years, but that when I was over there a few years ago was nice area. There's a small ponder lake out here somewhere,

and I think that's where they were doing the satellite. Earlier today and yesterday, HARV Radio Network went to their spring rally in Fredericksburg, Texas this year. Earlier this year there that these guys are yeah, all right, don't make it over here today. But they had the right equipment. Well, you already told me what the additional equipment that I need to start off. So man, yeah, y'all aren't going to find satellite sitting under the kenopy

here coming up about another hour? All right, you get are you standing right out here somewhere just right here? You just come out, okay? All right? A good deal man, huh. I ain't gonna answer that, man, I ain't gonna answer that. Yeah, yeah, no, yeah, I was. I walked over from there. I saw you guys from over there, so I think we're good. Oh good, okay, good? Would you see Robert did one right as the doors were opening this morning, the himcsion. He was doing an FM satellite there and he made

like, I don't know, five or six contacts. Yep, I don't remember something. Something I remember so fifty that sounds right, I don't remember, but well, good, good luck, guys. I'll try to come back over here about an hour, about one five. Yeah, okay, all right, hey, how you doing good? See you? Hey? Yeah, So there's a lake. He said. They were by this pond of here. Those guys are crazy, man. He's like slow, and that's the other guy's name, Sloan. He's like, are we hard to

find? I'm like, I'm not answering that must people. Hell of a bird building? Oh yeah? The birds nest on top of that light over there. Yeah, it's kind of prehistoric pterodactyl pterodactyl. Yeah yeah, yeah, that's it. Uh yeah, big bird's nest on top of that light right there is what they're talking about. This guy's standing behind me, so this is Yeah, so there's there's like a body of water right there. It's pretty nice. I don't know if there's any fish in there or not.

Kind of surprising he's out there fishing, honestly. The airstream with the tar heel on top, it's cool. Another uh, Dodge Pro Master van, Those Dodge Pro Master. I really like those Dodge Pro Masters. Those are nice. Those are nice, uh looking vans. I think I'm usually a Ford guy, but I think those Pro Masters look better than the Ford version. Ford puts little dinky, small rim tires on theirs, small wind wheels and wheels and tires, which you can obviously you can upgrade that.

Uh. I don't know. I just think the Dodges look better. It's my opinion. This must be airstream row up in here. Yeah, I don't mind. That's nice. Little tar heel and a tripod right there, Hey, said jco redhawk with a big intent on the back of it. Yeah, this is pretty much the edge of good place over here. This looks cool like this this go box right here out what but I didn't do

it, wasn't me. It's pretty cool you got selling that? Ain't ninety one Matt tuon or thirty of power supplied t y D Dual Band m f J one seventeen a spot. Yeah, i'd have to check that, sucker. I don't know how well it would do. Who got that thousand bucks for? That's not bad, it's not a bad price. So you're having a good show. Good good hear it? Go on listening cagehtraight. Nobody is listening, absolutely no one. I love it. Frank, you're live

on my live stream right now. Case five HPV. Hold on, man, if you go ahead and go to a last week and let me say hello, but you're on the barbecue line. This is Cage five straight. I knew he'd take advantage of that. Thanks Frank, kse five HWV. How long is the line right now? Oh? Not that bad, maybe seven minutes. But I think they're just giving you foods soon as they get it ordered. Well that's good, okay. Those long lines were quite long

last year. We got in line early this morning, so already eight But all right, man, I'll let you go, Ksey five h. I'll catch up with you in a bit o, good man. I halfway expect you to turn it off in the middle of that. I have a good streams KG five h straight favor room, guys, I'm making morelock. This is a cool truck. Oh he's got a kick ass for you. Uh not. I've texted with him, but I haven't found him yet. No, is he inside? It was This was probably a half an hour ago,

maybe longer than I saw him. But he's looking for you. Okay, copy that, good buddy, Good job on the echo there in your microphone. Ten to four. I'm in the bathroom here, so taking the bathroom portable. That does not surprise me one bit. That's okay, brother, exactly. Oh boy, Ksey five HWB. This is the kind of crowd that I get to hang out with at him Cashion, and I must be a glutton for punishment because I keep coming back. So it's my fault.

So as you can see, there's still plenty of camping area. I would love to drive through this one day, but it would be like an eighteen nineteen hour drive for me pulling a trailer. T O says he made it in fourteen hours from Texas. He left Texas late Thursday night. I think it was, or maybe it was like really really early Friday morning or no, I'm sorry, Wednesday night took Thursday morning. Yeah, I'm good. And he said it took him fourteen hours from Texas. He said he

was going fast and he was not pulling anything. He was in his expedition. So I don't know, pulling the camper would be a kind of a bear. But if I had a camper van, if I had a camper van that I didn't have to pull anything behind. Yeah, yeah, that uh one reason I want one so I could take it to him fest. All right, we're gonna walk back over here. Internet is still rolling. Uh you know what, Let's walk down this row because we already walked down

this row right there. Okay, so we just came from that area. We're gonna go this way. Porties on the air, yeah, pee poda, that's correct. Yeah, so I I want I want some credit card on the cause that was my running shorts. And yeah, there's the PoTA guys over there. So we're on the second row. Now more people that are parked and camped next to their next to their swap fest table, which is cool. Oh they's got one of those uh cool hf Intenda's on the

front of that van there. That's cool. See is there an icon or that other company that makes it? I don't I forget which what the name of that is? How you doing? And I was wanting to show you more over here, but that's where we lost internet, so I'm not gonna go back over there again have the internet drop. So we'll walk over here

through the middle see if we can keep the signal going. Uh. One of the guys that are James at the PoTA booths was saying that Scott Katie for m FW with the stealth gt I mobile hammer set up he was. He said he wanted to show me something. I talked to him yesterday, so I don't know what he what he's got, but we'll walk up here to see if we can find him real quick. The food court, dude, and it wasn't even lunch time yet, so they need more tables out

here and people sitting on the ground. We went sat at Jason's trailer to eat lunch early lunch brunch actually, because I didn't eat any breakfast, so it was brunch. OK. What's up? Ed bar beer as opposed to home beer or travel beer, hotel beer, bar beer? Good deal? Okay, this is a this is a terrible looking group of goober's right here. Hell fellow, and Rob's not even standing on a stool. Well it is downhill right there. That's my defense. That's my defense. They were

gonna can turn off, I can turn to buy us off. Yes, all right, Yeah, this guy right here, I got an interview with him on my podcast channel, which I'm going to talk about and upcoming lives stream. Go ahead, I'm sorry. I also recorded a video about this car last year that's on the channel from him Casion twenty twenty three. You guys probably saw that. Hopefully you saw that. If not, go look at it. Oh yeah, I think that guy has enough Intenda's maybe.

I think he would probably disagree with you. He's like, no, I'm missing something for digital mode sideband on one point two giga hurts, uh something I don't know, just guessing. How are you big thing off? Now? Yeah? So it doesn't straight atoss. Yeah. Somebody in the chat says, I think that guy has enough Intenda's maybe maybe, And I said, I said he would disagree with you. I think I could put somethings. I bet you could. Yeah, I swear his wife rise he said,

oh boy, yeah, there's a wee booze right there. That's what I could have used a minute ago. Hell like one Florida, Hello, Lakeland, Florida. How are you? Yeah? Yeah, this is a great show. I always try to make this one. Thank you very much. Thanks, thanks, you've seen this guy in the channel. Then I wanted to show you my latest O Williams expired. Okay, yeah, somebody over there said you wanted to show me something? What is that? Those

are ditchlight brackets? Oh and then I see you later. And so I got these NMO mounts that work with three eighths inch yes poles instead of a three quarter yes. So I saw a ditch some guy at the Overland Show one of the Overland shows I went to that he had a ditchlight mount bracket that had the light on it, but then it had an extra arm on it and an intimate NMO had two ports on it, one for the light, one for the NMO parts. Bronco in there has a ditchlight in m

set up, does it? Okay? Well that's for a Bronco though those things are brand new. See finding them for older vehicles just more challenging. Well, especially something like a GA. Is that what it is? Okay, okay, yeah, okay, all right, I hope you're having a good show. Many we're gonna go inside and see what we can find in there. I know, I think Hank strangers inside. So we're gonna go out there and see him. Maddy, what what you can have something with

the guy here? Yeah, that's fine, not interrupted something there. No, No, it's a live stream, but you're good. Okay, it's a typical uh ham Fest. Now you gotta just turn your camera around them. Yeah, I look like a little so you have to know the guy. Great show and I definitely a lot of Yeah.
