So Jeff, I get it loud and clear.

All right, real good. Anything else? No, that's it.

I blamed it on my tennis shoes. But it was being stupid. Yeah, copy that, copy that, alright.

Okay, that's Jeff, AK6OK. Anyone else want to check in this morning, please come down to your call site. KJ7PWM, Brian, good morning, how you doing?

We're very, very deported. We have a letter from the U.S. We have a letter from the U.S.

Alright, well, the farm continues to produce babies. That's great. So we had a little Philly colt.

A little filly horse, I should say. A filly is a female, a colt is a male. And, yeah, getting the mom to accept the baby, sometimes that can be a problem.

When she's a first-time mom, it's like, "What is this creature that just came out of my body?" So, yeah, I've been losing sleep over that. Copy that, Brian. Well, I'm glad that the farm continues to be fruitful and produce new life.

And hopefully all the things that need to be done to sustain that life on the part of the mom, she'll step into that role and do what she's supposed to do. All right, well, Brian, thank you for that good report. Thank God for the new life.

And hopefully mom and baby will get it together and do well in the future. All right, that's Brian, KJ7PWM. All right, any other check-ins this morning?

WB7VZL back home. Well good morning Roger, back home. I'm so glad to hear your voice on your old radio.

And, you know, we heard you the other day, but it seemed like your frequency wanted to drift on you a little up there. It did. And fortunately, I praise the Lord that as the radio, I guess, cooked out the dampness as I left it on, it stabilized.

And then I shut it down. and then I turned it back on later after it had cooled down, and it was still stable, so I... It just was too damp in there.

Over. Yeah, copy that. Yep, radio's gotta be exercised or else they don't do well, so...

Even my backup radios that I have in storage, I'll pull them out and fire them up from time to time and heat them up and just do a little transmitting on them and make sure everything's happy in there. Over. Well, that's a good idea even from me.

I bought a radio here and I haven't done that. Anyway, I praise the Lord that it seemed to stabilize and the big deal was getting that antenna put together, soldered up there. Over.

Yeah, real glad you're able to help out your sister with that. That is great. Alright, Roger, WB7VZL checked in, the net would like to acknowledge Peter, KJ7BA, good morning Peter, see you there on the Utah SDR, thank you for being there.

Let me check Half Moon Bay. Yeah, there's Peter again. We've got JR and Doc checked in.

All right, I think we're all caught up on our SDRs. And any last-minute voice check-ins, please come now. All right, we're going to get started with our West Coast Bible study.

As you all know, we finished the book of Ephesians yesterday. And so we're starting out on Philippians. And this is a wonderful book.

It was written by Paul around 62 A.D., And the book of Philippians is one of the most positive, joyful, upbeat letters in the whole New Testament, even though Paul was in prison in Rome when he wrote it. And so this is the second of the prison epistles. He wrote Ephesians.

And three times he mentioned he was in prison when he wrote Ephesians, and then of course in Philippians he mentioned he was in prison as well. And then Colossians was written about the same time, and then Philemon. So those are the four so-called prison epistles, we call them that because Paul was in prison when he wrote them for the sake of the Gospel.

And as we said, this is a very positive, joyful, upbeat letter. The word joy, or rejoicing, is mentioned 16 times in this four chapters. So constant theme of rejoicing.

You remember Philippians 4.4, that famous passage, Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. So that really is the key verse of the book, and it sets the theme for the book. This joy that Paul talks about is not the result of some kind of blind optimism.

We know Paul is a realist. He's in prison when he's writing this. But it's the joy that results from knowing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

And so whatever your circumstances are, if you have Jesus, You have a reason to be happy and to be joyful. This book is full of Jesus Christ as well as rejoicing. No less than 39 times his name, Jesus' name, is directly mentioned in these four short chapters.

In addition to this, the word Lord, the personal pronouns he and him referring to Christ, occur numerous times more. So the point is, is that we have this combination of rejoicing and Christ, just dominating the language of this letter. And so the happy life, the joyful life, is the Christ-centered life.

And this book is full of joy because this book is full of Christ. And when you see a believer that's full of joy, it's because they're full of Christ. And so those who have Christ have joy, and they have it to the degree that they have him and focus on him.

And we know that people are searching for happiness in all sorts of things, recreation, entertainment, and so on. parties, alcohol, whatever. But joy is only to be found in Jesus Christ.

Now it's quite obvious as you read this letter that Paul loved these people deeply. And his terms of affection for them are very profound in their depth and their intimacy. And so it's out of this love and affection that he pours out his heart to them.

and demonstrates that love by writing this letter to them. Now, the church at Philippi was established on Paul's second missionary journey when he was with Silas and Timothy, and you can read all about that in the book of Acts chapter 16. And so Paul had a special divine call to go there.

And you remember he went and preached by the river side where the women were accustomed to gather, and Lydia was saved, and many in her household. And then of course, you recall that once Paul cast the demon out, he was thrown in jail. And then we have the conversion of the Philippian jailer there in Acts chapter 16, where he says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved." And so this is how the church at Philippi began.

It began with Lydia and her household, it began with a Philippian jailer and his household, and then at the end of Acts chapter 16 it talks about the fact that there were a number of converts. So that's how the church got started. This church was a very, very giving church.

And so when Paul went to the next city of Thessalonica, which is where he went after he was at Philippi, they twice sent him money to help with the work. And then when he was at Corinth, they sent him money there. And then here he is some ten years later in prison at Rome, and they're sending him money again by way of Epaphras from 800 miles away.

So, and of course, along with the gift, Epaphras brings a report of the work, and that is what Paul refers to in some of the things that he says in his letter. So he writes this letter to express his gratitude, to answer their questions, and of course then to supply them with spiritual guidance with reference to various issues in their life. So the theme of this book is the joy we have in knowing and serving Christ no matter what our circumstances may be, And the key verse of the book, as I said, is Philippians 4:4, "Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say, rejoice." So that's a little background to the book.

This book is not real sharply outlined. Paul talks about his condition and situation. in Chapter 1, and then he gives some exhortation and counsel in Chapter 2.

He talks about his companions and helpers there in Chapter 2. He gives some warnings and encouragement, and then talks about his contentment and thanksgiving. So it's really a very personal letter, and personal letters typically are highly organized and structured.

like Philippians is or Romans is. So it's just very warm. It's very much filled with joy, and it is abundantly filled with Christ.

And in that and in him is our joy. All right, that is an introduction to the letter. Before we get started with our Bible reading, we want to open our time in prayer.

Jerry, AE7ER, could you please open in prayer for us this morning? Let us pray. Almighty and gracious God, we give you thanks for our faith and trust, and for this message for us.

as we read through your words. Help us be enlightened, understand what we're reading, and strengthen our faith. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Amen. Thank you so much for that. I appreciate that.

Okay, Roger, WB7VZO, it's good to have you back. I'm going to put you to work. I'd have you read for us, if you would please, Philippians chapter 1, verses 1 through 11.

Go ahead there, Roger. This is WB7VZL reading from the New American Standard Bible. Paul...

and Timothy, bondservants of Christ Jesus to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, including the overseers and deacons. Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God in all my remembrances of you, always offering prayer with joy in every prayer for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now.

For I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart. since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

For God is my witness, till I long for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus. And this I pray, that your love may abound. still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ, having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Christ Jesus, to the glory and praise of God.

Back to you, Max. WB7V0. Roger, thank you for that reading.

Great reading. Okay, so what we have here is not only Paul's opening greeting in verses 1 to 2, but Paul's opening prayer in verses 3 to 11, which Roger just read to us. All right, any comments on this passage or on this prayer or this greeting that Paul brings to the Philippians?

Please come down to the call sign. I guess I'll start it out then. Roger, please go ahead.

very comforting, powerful statement is, and the famous one is verse 6. I am confident that he who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. That's the one that resonates in all of our hearts, I'm sure.

Yeah, and what a comforting promise that is, Roger. to know that Christ always finishes the buildings that he starts. We're familiar with the parable that Jesus spoke in the Gospels where he said, you know, if a man's going to build a building, he sits down and calculates the cost as to whether he's able to finish it lest he gets halfway done and is unable to complete the job and thus brings shame to himself.

And boy, what a comfort that is to know that Jesus began a good work in us when he saved us. He's continuing that good work in sanctifying us. And he will complete that work when he glorifies us and we appear before him in heaven.

ultimately with our resurrected bodies. And so it's good to know that while I may fail in my daily walk and in my disciplines and in my conduct, Jesus continues his work. Never slacks, never fails, never grows discouraged.

He just keeps on building us up into the image of Christ, preserving us in grace. and keeping us on that narrow way that leads to life. And this is a wonderful statement of the security that the believer has, that it's not like he's preserving himself or building himself up, though we have a role to play in that process.

But Jesus is that master contractor, if you will. who has the blueprint, is carrying out all the processes, and in the end, he will present us followers before the Father's presence with eternal joy. And what an encouragement that is, that we're going to make it, because Jesus is in control of the process.

Roger, thank you for pointing out that verse. What an encouragement that is. Alright, any other comments?

Please come down. Mark, KJ7PVT, go ahead.. Thank you.

Thank you. Okay. The thing Mark has done, Mark was just below my noise floor.

I wasn't able to copy what he was saying. I heard something about relationships. Can anybody give me a relay of Mark's comment?

Please come down with your call sign. All right, Mark, sorry, unable to copy. The noise floor has come up a little from what it was this morning.

Please text me Mark the essence of your comment and I will relay that to the group here. I apologize but the noise floor was just a little high. Okay that was Mark KJ7PVT I'm sure with an excellent comment but unable to copy.

Once again any relays from anybody about what Mark said please come now. Okay, alright, well I apologize for that. Um, okay, any other comments on our passage that anybody would like to make, please come down with your call.

Okay, we'll get that. Okay, I think we had a double there. Roger, WB7VZO, you go ahead.

I have written next to this verse 6 that we were commenting upon to, "Will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus," I have written John 14:12. and next to it I said, "The challenge of Jesus." And I'd like to read that passage over. Please do, please do.

Okay, this is John 14:12. It says this, "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to the Father." Now, since Christ is up with his Father as our great High Priest, we should be prepared and receptive to, and I think this relates to, to be receptive and to do greater works. at least the church in numbers should be doing greater than the corporate aspect of Jesus.

But I think of that passage that we have, and I'll let somebody else go ahead. I'm taking too much time. Go ahead, Max.

Roger, you are not taking too much time. You're doing just great. Let's talk about that verse.

"Verily, verily, I ascend you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go to my Father." The ascended Christ is building His church. He's saving His elect. He is defeating the Satan in his kingdom.

Now, it's interesting what it says here that we're going to do greater works than Jesus. We have to qualify that statement, don't we? Obviously, we're not going to be doing works of redemption.

That was done once for all by Jesus, and he finished that work. But I think what he's talking about here is we're going to do works greater in extent. Jesus' ministry was confined to the land of Israel.

Our ministry covers the whole world. So we're going to do greater works than Jesus in that it's going to be greater in extent. We're also going to do greater works than Jesus in that it's going to be greater in duration.

His works lasted three years, and ours have been going on now for 2,000 years. And so what he's saying is you're going to take what I started, and you're going to dramatically expand it, both in terms of geography and in terms of duration. Jesus, you know, had however many disciples He had, a few, certainly the 11 apostles.

There was 120 gathered in the Upper Room in Acts chapter 1. And now there are millions and millions and millions of believers. So what He's saying is that His work isn't going to end.

at the extent and scope that it was when he ascended, it's going to go on. We're going to continue to build the kingdom far beyond what it was that he began as he orchestrated the building of that kingdom from his throne in heaven and through his intercession and by the sending of the Spirit. Roger, good comment.

Thank you for that. All right, other comments on the passage? Please come down.

8K6OK. Jeff 8K6OK go ahead. Uh yeah Max I was looking up bond servant uh wasn't sure exactly what that meant a person bound to service without wages often voluntarily out of love or by choice to a master.

And in biblical context, it signifies a person totally committed to serving God, which is really interesting. So that's where we all ought to be, over. Amen.

Well said. We're not our own. We're bought with a price, and therefore we're to serve God in our body and in our spirits, which are God's.

It says that at the end of 1 Corinthians chapter 6. And so, yes, we are all, all of us, Jeff, are all bond servants. And we don't belong to ourselves.

We're here to serve Jesus. And, you know, the thing of it is, Jeff, no one's free. Okay?

No one. You're either a servant of Satan and in bondage to him, or you're a servant of Jesus in bondage to him. There's no such thing as an autonomous person.

God is the only autonomous being in this universe, and he's the only one who doesn't have a master. And so the question is, who do you want to be ruled by? Do you want to be ruled by Satan who comes to kill and steal and destroy?

Or do you want to be ruled by Christ who comes that we might have life and have it more abundantly? And so when Paul says he's a bondservant, here in Philippians 1 and verse 1, Paul and Timotheus, the bondservants of Jesus Christ, he's saying that not my will but thine be done. So we need to have that mentality that my life doesn't belong to myself.

My choices are not mine to make. I need to ask myself, Father, what wilt thou have me to do? Just like Jesus said to, or pardon me, Paul said to Jesus on the road to Damascus, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?

And so that is what it means to be a bondservant. Back to you there, Jeff. Well, how true that is.

And I tell you, that is one of my prayers every morning. Lord, what are we up to today? My business here, much of my time, but not all of it, and I ask that of the Lord every morning.

What are we going to do today? And God always brings people here, brings situations together, and things just happen. You know, right now we've been talking a little bit about the USS Tripoli out there floating around in Iran.

And I have a meeting Monday. This is a concern that I forgot to mention. I'm meeting with the military airlift command to see if we can have them ship pallets right out of Travis Air Force Base directly out there to the ship.

And we've tried to ship to all these needed things that we're going to ship to them. To do that through the Postal Service is an absolute disaster. The Postal Service has fallen down on that job, fake gun.

Anyway, God's opened major doors for us in this, and I'm just excited to go there and find out what are we going to do? How are we going to get around this mess that's going on where people, including a lot of families, are sending gift packs to their kids and to others? And they're not getting there.

They're stuck in Japan right now. So we'll see what God's going to do here. Yeah, copy that.

And I love that phrase, Lord, what are we doing today? Because you recognize that, you know, we're laborers together with God. We can't do anything without him.

You know, Paul, Jesus said in John 15, without me you can do nothing. But then it says in Philippians 4.13, which we're going to be looking at down the road here, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. So, you know, if Jesus is in it, then it is going to be successful, and God's going to bless it.

And because we're doing it in service to his cause and his kingdom and for his glory. and His people. So yeah, Jeff, what a great attitude.

Get up in the morning, "Lord, good morning. What are we going to do today? What direction do you have for me?" You know, what I used to show up at work, you know, I'd go to the boss and say, "What am I supposed to do today?" He says, "Well, you need to do this and this and this and this." And then I'd go do it, right?

Well, it's the same way as Christians. We wake up in the morning and we turn to our Lord and we say, "Lord, what do you want me to do today?" And then we walk in that path. And His will is revealed in His Word.

His will specifically is also revealed in His providence. And then His will is revealed in that wisdom that He gives to us in our hearts in accordance with that word and those providences. So, yeah, let's pray.

Al KJ7QQH, let's pray for the military airlift command to get Jeff's pallets of gifts to the soldiers safely on the deck of that ship, the USS Tripoli in the Middle East. All right, WB7MX here, net control for the West Coast Barlow study. Any more comments on this passage, please come down.

WB7, please go down. Roger, please go ahead. Well, this phrase in verse 7...

out at me, and because I have you in my heart, that is an amazing moving of the Holy Spirit people who were Gentiles that were a different culture. And as I recall, he wasn't treated very well, but he had bonded and they had bonded to him. And the Philippian jailer, I'm glad you mentioned the Acts passage.

That's an incredible experience. Is that not where the earthquake took place? in Philippi, and he saved his jailer from suicide.

He thought it was hopeless, and he gave him Jesus Christ, and his heart was molded, and I can imagine what kind of believer he must have been after that. So, yes, there's tremendous history, spiritual history, behind this. I have you in my heart in verse 7.

Yeah, and you know, that's the way every Christian views every other Christian. You know, I think of the people around this Bible study. You know, my heart is knit together with every one of yours.

And many of you I've never met, never seen your face, just know you by voice. But there's that instant love, there's that instant bond, there's that kindred spirit that we have. These are my brothers and sisters in Christ.

They're serving the same Lord I am, and they're believing the same gospel. that I am, and they're headed to the same destiny that I am. And that's the foundation of our unity.

It's built around Christ, His gospel, and His plans and purposes. And so when someone else is involved in that, they're in our hearts. And so that's the reason why we can't just take a cavalier attitude towards our fellow believers.

We love them. We do what we can to serve them and build them up in the faith and encourage them in the things of God and meet whatever needs. We saw in Galatians, we're to bear one another's burdens.

and so fulfill the law of Christ. So, Roger, thank you for pointing out the way that Christ not only brings us into union with himself, but he brings us into union with each other. And those are the two great commandments, right?

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself. So we have this vertical relationship which creates that horizontal relationship. And that horizontal relationship is one in which there's not just an external, formal, organizational attachment.

There is a heart communion and connection. in which we live and die with our brethren. Thank you, Roger, for pointing that out.

All right, other comments, please come down. KG6J. KG6J, Jerry, please go ahead.

This will be one of the rare times I'm going to speak up probably, but I'm going to give this a try. And you will correct me if I'm off here. I'm looking at verse 9, and I, speaking with Roger, mentioned he had a note there in his Bible.

I've got a note here from a long time ago, and this I pray that your love that word for love in the Greek was agape. And agape love is the highest form. The Greek language has four words, I think, for love, and agape being the highest, and that is unconditional, sacrificial, selfless, others that are loved.

It's the way God the Father loves us. It's the way our Lord Jesus Christ loves us. And what demonstrated when he went to the crossroads that he had agape love for us, and so that's That's all I had to add.

Back to you, Pastor. Yeah, well said, Jerry, and you're exactly correct. That is what the word love there is, and that is what it means.

And so we pray that this agape love that you described so well may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgments. So we see that love is always connected with truth, and love is guided by truth, and love is never expressed in contradiction to truth. And so a lot of people say, oh, you know, we need to love truth.

this or that. The problem with this or that is that it's a falsehood. And so we see people affirming people out of a desire to love who are engaging in sinful behavior.

And that's not love. anytime love directs us to show acceptance and approval and affirmation of something that is contrary to the word of God then that's not biblical love biblical love is loving like Jesus loved and that's how we need to love others as well sacrificial selfless self-sacrificing service to their needs irrespective of the cost or the return to ourselves. Great comment, Jerry.

Thank you for that. All right. I just got a text message.

Let me see who this is and what this is. Great. This is Mark, KJ7PVT.

I'm so glad you texted me, Mark. We couldn't hear Mark very well. He says, good morning, Max.

Sorry, my noise floor came up a bunch also. I read this from a study on this book that reminded me that Paul spoke to all the churches, as Jesus also did, in amplifying the love we have for each other. This is on display here in the book of Philippians.

A snapshot of the introduction is provided below. And he sent me this copy here. It says, "It seems that this church was closer to Paul than was any other church.

Their love for him and his love for them are mirrored in this epistle. This epistle deals with Christian experience at the level on which all believers should be living. It is not a level which all of us are at yet, but it is where God wants us to be.

Mark, well said, and that's a great comment. And you're right, this book is about loving our fellow believers. As Jerry was saying, and now as Mark is reinforcing, and so we're going to see this whole concept of how close, affectionate, and attached believers are with one another.

And that's why it's such a tragedy when there's a disruption in Christian fellowship due to sin. And there needs to be repentance of that sin and restoration of that fellowship so that we can return back to the closeness that was disrupted by sin. And God provides a process for that.

So anyway, Mark and Jerry, thank you for emphasizing this issue of how the believers are supposed to love each other, which is really amplified in the book of Philippians. All right. Any other comments on this passage?

Please let me know. WB720 Okay Roger, I heard a faint voice out there, other station, please come now Okay, heard you weren't real tuned up on the frequency yet and that's all I got, can we get a call sign please? OK, I got Ron, Romeo Oscar November.

I was having some radio issues here, and I was just trying to figure it out to see if anybody at all was hearing me. Anyway, you were the first station that I was... Not able to tune into you, but I can hear very well.

Go ahead. Okay, yeah, we're copying you in about a 4x3, a 4x3, so your radio's working there, Ron. Thank you for being there.

This is the West Coast Bible Study, and we meet here seven days a week at 6:00 a.m. to read the Bible and to just discuss it together and then pray. So, Ron, thank you for being here.

KB6WBO, we got you checked in, and hopefully we'll hear from you again tomorrow. We're just about ready to wind it up, Ron, so thank you for being here. All right, to WB7MAX, back to Roger, WB7VCL.

Roger, please go ahead. Wow, that was tremendous that you were able to unbury Ron. I'm glad that you were able to hear Ron.

I could just tell there was a signal there but couldn't discern. And Jerry, thank you, Jerry. I hope that you choose to open up on this wonderful verse 9 that your note had here, that your love, may abound and the love that you noted here.

And it builds. It just, it continues to build after verse 9, Jerry, as you see, so that you may approve the things that are excellent in order to be sincere and blameless. So that is a tremendous...

And I've often wanted to know, Max, do you know of, you know, when there was doctrinal issues in Galatians between Peter and Paul and there was a public kind of a standing Peter's aberrant view of the gospel by his actions. Was there ever in the biblical record a time of apology? Do you know of any?

Over. There clearly was, because... Peter said in 2 Peter 3, verse 15, 2 Peter 3, verse 15, he says, An account of the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation, even as our beloved brother Paul, also according to the wisdom given unto him, as written unto you, as also in all his apostles, speaking in them of these things, which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned in an unstable twist, as they do the other scriptures to their own destruction.

So here we have Peter affirming Paul as a beloved brother. and as someone who has wisdom. So yes, when Paul stood up there in Galatians chapter two, and he corrected Peter publicly before them all, because his sin was before them all, there was apparently immediately a repentance and a change of behavior.

Because later on, we see Peter speaking very highly of Paul, commending him and calling him a beloved brother. Back to you there, Roger. Thank you very much.

That took a lot of humility to be able to write those words and implied repentance and turning. Thank you very much, Max. All right, real good.

All right, WB7MAX here. Yeah, when the sin is public, the reproof is public. When the sin is private, the reproof is private.

So if someone's going to sin before others, he's rebuked before others. If he's going to sin privately, then you keep it between you and him. And that's the principle that's set out in the Bible.

All right. Any other comments? Wow, we are out of time.

Man, I let the clock get away from me. I apologize for that. We need to go to prayer.

Are there any final prayer requests? Please come down to the call line. All right.

Al, KJ7QQH, please go ahead and close in prayer for us. Well, thank you, Dr. Maxson.

Good morning, everyone on the net. Let's all come together and prayer for him. Heavenly Father, thank you for us to find together.

In your words, please direct indictment. who have worked hard to apply this into our lives today. We thank you for your many blessings and we also want to bring before you the needs that we have on our part of us today.

First of all, we'd like to welcome Ron to our study and we propose to have him get together with us in the future. Welcome, Ron. So if we want to lift up Roger, WB7BPL, for a safe return home and for this successful fix on Candies Radio and Antimatter, as you'll hear from there in four minutes, we lift up our brother, Lee AL7KG who was recently let him come off a computer stand we just pray that he'll work with the authority to successfully recover the lost promise for a better operation KJ7PWM we lift up his farm and we give praise to the newborn horse and the success of his farm for our brother Jackson aka the co-head We get a phrase that he's getting caught up on his sleep, but now he needs healing for his injured ankle.

The wrenched Jason Mastroff pillow once, and he helped us to get it. We also ask for a blessing on this meeting with the military airlift command to provide service of jet and care packages to the troops on the USS Tripoli Immigration Call. For a brother Mark JJ17C for his safe return from his trip to Montana.

And for our Christian Herald JJ17CO. of his friends of situation and his custody. He gained custody of his daughter Alice.

For Sandy, WSM, FAB, for the computer fueling, the perfect circuit. And for Jerry, KG, Vic, Joe, I've spoken to request for help, life issues, and he's thankful for the pain and back and improving. Doc W6RLJ, we ask for prayer for the serious health problems that he's experiencing at the establishment of dental clinic on the island of Fiji.

That's me, Dr. Whoopi Shaver. close that.

For Darryl, WB7AOT, for the healing of his urology issue. At the same time, we also lift up the Midwest button setting. They're on 3962.5, an hour before our next search.

And for Cody, AI7TRF, his name's Zoe. Now we pray for your salvation. Cody, also needs healing from his diverticulitis.

Charles, 37, P.E.S. Trevor, we're looking up Trevor. As he finishes his seven weeks of anal radiation treatment, a week of difficulty swallowing.

He also has trouble with his right arm, dealing with his face. It's better now, but he still struggles with his balance. He's pregnant with his marriage.

For Keith, WB7RKR, he was damaged by his family. His wife, Ronnie, has an ulcer. His friend does not progress.

We need to cover in knowing that we have also want to look at all others that are on our big dust.

We want to make sure that we keep in mind all those that are shocked, reproached. and we just want to ask you to do your mercy to this chair of those prayers as well. Thank you, Lord, for your goodness and mercy and your grace to each one of us, and for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ, through whom we pray all these things.

Amen. This is KJ7QQH, turning back to you after Mass in that control. KJ7QQH, thank you so much for that prayer.

This is WB7MAX, neck control for the West Coast Bible Study. NET would like to recognize Phillip, K6HSV, and also Dawn, AC7KW. Thank you guys for showing up there on the SDRs.

Appreciate you being there with us. All right. This is WB7NX, NET Control for the West Coast, Bible Study.

We meet here seven days a week at 6 a.m. in order to read the scriptures, understand their meaning, message, and application, and also then to pray for grace and mercy to live out what we learn and for God to meet the needs of those in our circle of fellowship. I just want to thank all the stations who checked in.

and also for those stations who stood by to give us a clear operating frequency. I'll be returning this frequency now to regular amateur use. This is WB7MX.

I'll be clear and standing by. WB7VZL. Roger, WP-70, go ahead.

Yeah, I'm going to... I'm so pleased that Jerry and Ron were able to be pulled through. And I'm glad that your ears were sensitive on your side of things.

But what I'm going to do, and I wanted to let you know this, is that I'm not going to respond when you ask for responses right away because I don't want to cover up these special signals and I'm glad that you heard them along with me. So I'm glad that you're listening I'm going to wait at least five seconds and see if anybody else has anything to say. So I just wanted to let you know that because we want to dig for the jewels out there that might be underneath.

Yeah, Roger, thank you for your consideration on that. Yeah, when we have strong stations, we can run right over stations that we don't even hear. And so I think having a pause and letting people have time to not only think the key especially maybe people who are a little bit bashful, I think that's a great thing.

So, Roger, appreciate that. And I think that's a good thing for us to do. You know, I know that Kevin and you and I and a couple of others here have strong stations.

And so I think the pause is just a good courtesy. for everyone to have time to key up who perhaps don't usually do that. So great policy there, Roger.

I affirm that. Thank you for that. WB7 to Max.

Yeah, and so I feel for you when you're not, you know, not getting a fish, so to speak. So I just wanted to let you know we're waiting to hear the weaker signals. And yes, I could just tell that Mark was in there, but I couldn't read him this morning.

So I'm so glad that he went digitally to respond. I don't know what his circumstances are up there at all regarding the station capability, what he has. At any rate, I'm glad that we have the SDRs that you guys are able to pull him in most of the time.

Apparently he wasn't making it to an SDR this morning, over. Yeah, that's correct. You know, depending upon baying conditions, sometimes I can hear Mark on my radio.

Almost always I can hear him on the SDR, which I pick him up on Half Moon Bay. And I don't get them on Utah, but I do pick them up on Half Moon Bay. Mark is running down foot, so he's 100 watts, doesn't have an amp.

And his antenna situation is not ideal. He's got a smaller lot, and he's got to kind of wrap the antenna around the fence in one thing and another. So he's doing the best he can, and we really appreciate his fellowship and input.

And hopefully one of these days he'll be able to get an amp. I think that will help. And maybe we'll be able to hear him more consistently.

Burt W7RKD got an amp, and now I hear him so much better. So hopefully Mark and Margie will find a place in their budget for an amp so that we can enjoy his contributions. his valuable contributions to the net.

So that's what I do, Roger. I know you don't do computer stuff, which is fine, but that's how I pick him up is on Utah. I mean, on Half Moon Bay SDR, but today, it wasn't quite there.

Back to you, Roger. Yeah, that's interesting that even sometimes the mountaintop or whatever they, wherever they're located don't have the relay capability, not the proper signal strength. And his amp, as he warned us, is over.

Yeah, copy that. Well, I'm able to hear Beck just fine. And he's not booming like he used to, but I hear him fine.

So hey, Beck, Alphalta 5 Yankee, are you there with today's joke? Go ahead. Yes, I am.

Hold on a second. Let me change stages. Yeah, no worries.

Yeah, I hear him alright, but it's nothing like with the app, alright? I'm sorry, Beck, I think he got walked on. Go ahead.

What kind of room does not have doors? What kind of a room does not have doors? Huh, what kind of a room does not have doors?

Uh, boy, I don't have a clue. Anybody else have a clue on that one? Go ahead.

Alright, tell us, Beck. A mushroom. A mushroom is the kind of room that doesn't have doors.

That's funny. That's really good. I like that.

Thank you for the laugh Yeah, that guy got you five by five here, so I got a good voice and a good signal I mean, it's not like it used to be is like five by nine or a We're 5 over 9, but still good signal back over. Yeah, Roger. Well, thank you.

I'm glad that you relayed to everybody any questions that I had. Yeah, copy that. I did try to repeat what people say because I know there's other people who can't hear.

And so we try to make it so that everybody knows what's going on. All right, back real good. And Sandy's proceeding with her rehab on her hip.

That should be getting close to back to normal. How's she doing? Well, she's kind of staggering around without the walker once in a while.

And she was able to change the dog, which is wonderful. She can get in the shower now on her own and do everything. And it's little by little she's improving, and she's going to do therapy today.

And I will get another report on how she's doing. and everything is coming along just fine, roger? Roger that, praise the Lord, good report.

And we're really proud of Sandy for doing the work. I know that's not easy, but you got to work against the pain and regain all of that. But boy, I'm so pleased that she's going to be pain-free in her hip.

and be able to just operate with a great deal more mobility than she had before. So anyway, back to praying for you guys and trusting God to continue to heal Sandy. Thanks for being a good nurse to her.

It's so wonderful when somebody is sick or disabled that they've got that marriage partner there to hold them up and hold them together and keep them going. I know that's worked both ways for Kathy and I through the decades. And just so thankful for that.

Roger, back over to you. Daylene finished all of her radiation. And what's the status now?

Are we just going to wait on the Lord and go forward? Or what are we doing there? Over.

Yeah, she's really red. And she's really miserable. I told her, "Hey, don't wear that seatbelt if it's bothering you." In fact, I unhooked it for her as she drove yesterday.

She is just so red. But, yeah, of course, that's the healing, as you know. all too well.

And let's see, I think I did tell you that the next thing is they're going to try to see if they can do some sort of chemical approach. and I don't know, I appreciate your comments that you didn't feel like it was worth that, the side effect issues. Well, Beck, thank you for the mushroom joke, and Autumn, Autumn sensitized me as to the significance of the nutrition of mushrooms.

And she was such a powerful nutritional person, motivated by her, what she called, autoimmune issues. that she was quite an inspiration for the kitchen, and for all of us. And so we will miss it.

I said, "Otto, will you mentor me in the soups that you put together?" So I'm gonna follow that pattern for at least the foreseeable future. But yeah, back, just to let you know, I've got a noise level, that is not, it is just a hair over seven. My S meter is, reading the S meter, it's just a hair over seven.

And then when you come on with 100 watts, you are not quite, you S9 on peaks. I looked carefully and I could not see the meter actually hit 9 or above. So you can see that my white noise is surrounding your signal without the amp.

That's the deal. That's my neighborhood. It's a noisy neighborhood.

And having an S7 or just a slight hair above S7 is a good day for me. Some days it's even higher. So we were talking about the variation to max of our noise floor, but yeah, I am plagued with noise floor here.

Back to you, Max. WB7VZL. Yeah, Roger.

I understand about the noise floor and how frustrating that can be because, you know, you know, that's coming from another source. You just want to be sure your own household is not causing that noise floor. One of the things I did is I shut off every single breaker in my house without exception.

And then I just turned the breaker on that runs my radio. And my noise core dropped considerably. So I started turning breakers on.

And what I realized is that my kitchen light, which is fluorescent light, was putting out a ton of RF. So one of the rules in the house is that as long as I am on the radio, we don't turn the kitchen light on. The other thing that was causing a great deal of RF in my house was touch lamps.

And so we got rid of all of our touch lamps and went to just regular lamps with switches So eliminating any noise from your house and then of course the problem is that if you have noise from the neighbors, you're probably not going to be able to deal with that because they're not going to change their electrical equipment just to please you. But if the noise is coming from the public utility, which would be the power line, transformers, that kind of thing, public utilities are extremely responsive to RF. because that means something's arcing and their equipment isn't working right, and they want to get on that and get it fixed.

So what you might do is call up your local public electrical utility and say to them, "Would you do an RF sweep in my neighborhood and see if this high noise core is coming from your transformers or your power lines and they will probably do that for you. And they'll also probably be able to tell you if it's coming from the house or if it's coming from the power lines because they have pretty sophisticated equipment to be able to do that. So that's kind of my suggestion, Roger, with reference to noise core issues.

Back to you, Roger. I really like the phrase. a noise floor sweep, an RF sweep of the neighborhood.

That communicates so much to communicating to them on the phone. I have had a vivid experience years before and some of my buddies like Scott remembered that too, that in doing a, I took, I ran a radio, a portable, high frequency radio, pretty good quality, Icom, and ran it from my car battery and then I plugged my dipole
