Uh, go ahead and check in. I'll take you to your unit in a quarter minute. Any, uh, relays for Carroll?

Alright, Carol, thanks for joining us on the Utah SBR. And who else did I miss? Anybody?

And we want to add Max to the list, to Perlis, that he'll have a safe trip home. Not sure if he's going home today or when, and... Obviously for Kathy, his wife, she had no sleep last night.

She was picking somebody up at the airport very, very late. So prayers for her today. And let's take another few seconds.

This is the West Coast Bible Study. Mike, Carrie, K6, OK, going in for a match this morning. Go ahead.

And we are in Psalms 20, Psalms 2:0 at this point. That'll be read by 10 and 16 and I will when we get to that point. Jeff, did you get JJ EA Peter?

Uh, he's on the lift, KJ7BAI. Did you hear him? Yeah, he's on the Utah-Anaheim-Hampus Bay SDR.

Okay, good, good. So he should be on the head of that. Okay, perfect.

Thank you. Thank you. You guys are valuable being my ears out there today.

Although we should be able to hear most of everybody. Everybody so far has sounded fantastic. It's this big little bit town up here.

AK6OK for the West Coast Bible study. Got a couple more minutes, any check-in? - Gal, will you be seven Vs at L?

Well, there is WB7. This is PZL. How are you?

Well, I'm really giving a response to the pleasure of hearing quite a signal. Gear 20 over S9 here in College Place, Washington. and Well Roger, we're a little closer than the Rockman remote.

I didn't, decided not to get on the Rockman remote this morning. Decided to use the local one right here in Coeur d'Alene. So, glad you're here.

So, well, any further concerns, Roger? Well, that, that is what I was hoping yesterday some of you heard me talk about. Talk to you.

And you weren't, you were not there. Understandably, you were involved with the project. When did it complete?

I mean, at least, when is it usable? When did you get it finished, Orrin? Well, let's see, we started three days ago, constructing the antenna.

I think we got that fairly well finished, and we got it on the crane yesterday about, what was it, Peter, about 9:00, 10:00 in the morning? Oh, they got here at 10. Okay, so lift 15, we hit it on the crane and we hit it up in the air and we got it up on top of the tower.

I can't say we did it without some struggles, but nobody died. Nobody fell off the lift in the antennas. Yeah, skin and knuckles and we're both about ready to drop this morning.

We got burned, yeah, the whole thing, but it's up there. Oh, that is wonderful. That is wonderful.

Well, we'll continue to debrief. Everybody, every ham is, dreams of having, what is it, two wavelengths up there in the sky, over. Yeah, this is an OptiBeam antenna, 40 meters through 10, and you know the good news is started checking out the how the SWR is and everything it was absolutely flat on all the bands and patterns so that's the good part right there go ahead Roger right, well you said you're at 40 but how are you doing it on 80?

you're just loading it up with with an antenna tutor over no we've got a big old loop we're talking to you on this is a 600 foot loop uh of about a close to 100 feet in corn lane uh roger right yeah so it's basically two wavelengths wow that's That's tremendous. Well, it's sure showing forth. And it's outstanding.

Thank you, guys. I really appreciate that. And I'd love to talk more, but the net is starting.

WB7V0. All right, Roger, I'm going to be calling on you to follow up on the passage today. We're in Psalm 20.

which is going to be read by Danny and N6TNI out in North Hollins, California. So thank you for that. All right, who's next to check in?

601, we're going to get started here in just a second. Are there any relays out there? And if there are, jump in any time, you guys, because I'm not positive how we're going to hear everybody up here so far.

Sounds great. Any relays? Alright, let's get started you guys.

So we're talking Thop 20 and again Danny's gonna read. Danny, what version are you reading from this morning? I will be reading from the New International Version.

There you go, the NIV. So, okay, stand by, Dan. Let me start with the opening this morning.

We'll bring printer and warrant. Thank you so much for bringing us all together. We've got 17 or 18 of us in here this morning, and, uh, Quaker Mac in his classes he's doing, uh, out there, I think, in New Jersey.

and pray for his safe return today. And thanks for everybody who's logged in this morning and checked in. And thanks for the safety for Peter and I yesterday up on the lift with all the sun and everything else we dealt with, but we had a good time.

And we're barely breathing this morning, but we're here. And that's great. Please guide us if we read Psalms 20 this morning.

And as we get... going in this conversation. AK6OK, thank you, Lord.

I'm signing off with God. That's pretty cool. AK6OK, Danny, would you read Psalms 24 for us?

I would be happy to. This is N6T and I reading from the New International Version. Psalms 20 may the Lord answer you when you are in distress may the name of God of Jacob protect you may he send you help from the sanctuary and grant you support from Zion may he remember all your sacrifices and Make all your plans succeed.

May he shout for joy over your victory and lift up our banners in the name of our God. May the Lord grant all your requests. Now this I know.

The Lord gives victory to his anointed. He answers him from his heavenly sanctuary with the victorious power of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.

They are brought to their knees and fall, but we rise up and stand firm. Lord give victory to the king answer us when we call reading from psalms 20 back to you Jeff thank you Dan great ring that's perfect and well this sounds like a terrific blessing is what this sounds like to me and David is very good at that I love I love the way he addresses the Lord about our protection taking good care of us, which he does, obviously. And I love the way in all the Psalms where David is in distress right off of get-go, and he's always talking about how terrible life is, how he's seen constantly.

And then there's always this interesting word where he says, however, I've got a good God. Okay, any comments on this stuff, this part? Go ahead.

KB-7, Zedek's in. KB-7, Zedek's in. Go ahead.

Good morning again all. KB7ZXN. Yeah, this is a wonderful psalm on many regards.

This is a psalm of before going into a difficult situation, before going into a battle. praying, you know, after the offerings are made, praying to God for the good results, the right outcome, because the strength they know in battle. and through difficult circumstances in the Lord.

And 7 and 8, which are often quoted, the verses 7 and 8, recognize that you might have the best military might at that time. Chariots and horses were like the fast attack tanks and best military assets someone could have. Yet we don't trust, or they did not...

This is a prayer of not trusting in your physical assets, but trusting in the Lord. And it's interesting here in the beginning of the text here, the first five verses of this prayer. to God for his blessing on going through this difficult battle and they're praying to support our King who is leading this battle and it's interesting to note that they're not praying to be removed from the difficulty of the battle or dismissed from this this this conflict but for God to be with them through this conflict.

And we see that also in Psalm 23, verse 4, where the Lord is with us through the shadows of the valley of death. He doesn't necessarily remove us from the shadows of the valley of death. And then verse 6, I really want to focus on for a moment here.

I think in the NIV it read, the Lord is our victory. Some may say the Lord is our save or the Lord is our salvation. But that Hebrew word is the word for Messiah, Mashiach.

And as we... know that Jesus in his title in Hebrew is Yahshua HaMashiach well this is the Lord our Messiah our Savior and so our victor so the victory they are recognizing is in God himself in the covenant Lord, the Lord, the God of Jacob and the same God that has led them through all trial and circumstance and overcome all insurmountable obstacles. This is the same Lord that they're praying to before going in to a conflict or to a battle here.

KB 7 is that example. Yeah, well pointed out, well pointed out. I just brought up the message version of this.

As a lot of you know, I read the message a lot because it's just understandable for a thinker, a dude like me. I love the first, in the message version, the first part of the paragraph, "God answer you on the day you crash." The name God of Jacob, put you out of harm's reach, send reinforcements from all dispatched from Zion, fresh supplies, exclaim over your offerings, celebrate your sacrifices, give what your heart desires, and accomplish your plans. And isn't that what God's all about?

And sometimes these battles that we go through and we've all gone through are an assignment from God. They are not accidental. You know, most of the time you're supposed to be there.

As you know, most of you know, I've been through three cardiac arrests and cancer and heart attacks and strokes, and that's within half. There's numerous ones, and I'm still here showing that story. and it has been an incredibly good testimony.

I get to talk to thousands of people, and I'll be doing more of that here soon, but just tell the story and to prove to people that God does answer prayer and God does protect us. And so very, very important to read this psalm and be able to explain this to people as you go through that all of this is true. All right, any more comments?

Go ahead. That was great. Thank you.

WB7VZL WB7VZL I expected you to jump in here too go ahead yeah I I don't there's a number of us here so I just wanted to make you share the time here but what I have been amazed is the God of Jacob he is willing to identify with what the Hebrew implies by that name. He's the God of a deceiver. He is the God of one who had to run because of his deceitfulness.

and he was a fugitive from his own brother. He stole the birthright, you know? And so for God to identify with Jacob...

before his conversion his converted name was Israel but he was willing to take on that name and what an amazing great story back to you Yeah, and as Max always says, well said. Well said, yes, sure. And as I continue on, I love the way Eugene Peterson and I met him one time, wrote the message from verse 5 here, when you win...

We plan to raise the roof and lead our parade with our banners. May all your wishes come true That question that helps coming and answers on the way everything is going to work out, you know if we all just remember that Even in the process of all of this if you pass away and go to heaven that's working out for me. I I see that and I've come close to that a few times.

But good to obviously be here, but that's the way God works and I think it's great. Alright, who else wants to jump in? Go ahead.

Is that 8-7? That's it. Go ahead again.

Yeah, KB7 is at extent. And, Roger, that's a really good point. But this really, again, exemplifies the faithfulness of God and the covenant he had with Abraham and, of course, through Isaac and through Jacob.

And that covenant strength of that. promise of God, that covenant with God, the strength that they're relying on, that strong right arm of God is that same strong arm that parted the seas and gave them the path through the Red Sea and freedom from the... the army of Egypt beating down upon them the world's superpower at the time.

That same mighty right arm is the same God that they're praying to. And one of the things that you'll notice as you go through some of the dynastic periods of the Psalms, or not of the Psalms, but of 1 Kings, 2 Kings, or 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, is the difference in the outcome of when those kings and those people came to the Lord before the battle, before strategizing and building the plan of attack or defense, is the contrast and the difference of the outcome. And here we see this is what all nations should do, as well as our nation.

First of all, they clearly have a king here that is reverent to God and treasured God, and they're praying for that outcome. Well, all those things, when that king has worshiped and made his sacrifices and prayed, that all those wishes, all those outcomes come true. Because they know that king has prayed in submission and humility to God.

for his strength in the outcome of the battle. And we need to take heed to that as well in our nation. Many debate on, you know, how much our president may surrender to God.

He certainly exemplifies that he has on many occasions. Other times, maybe not so much. But it's important.

And as great as our military is, the first step we should be to come to God in prayer. And I know many presidents before have later shared in their memoirs and their thoughts challenging circumstances that our nation had to go into battle. This was the step they took, was to surrender and pray to God for his strength and his guidance through that.

So this is a wonderful model for all nations, including our own, before we go in to take on into battle. KB7, is that acceptable? Yeah, thank you so much and exactly, Kevin.

That's exactly what this is about. You know, this reminds me of our ministry with Operation Worship, where we distribute Bibles to the military. When we first got this thing started, the first 50,000 Bibles we sent out went to Fort Hood, Texas.

And I had no idea how many people would pick up a Bible. There's laws in our country that you cannot hand a Bible to a soldier. And so even the chaplains can't hand a Bible out.

But you can make them available by putting them on a shelf or whatever. People can walk by and pick one up. What the biggest shock of my existence was that when we put them out there, they put them on pallets as these guys were getting on planes to head overseas.

These are young kids, 17, 18 years old. that just got through boot camp. They're heading out and getting deployed.

They don't even know where they're going. And I asked the chaplains, why did these disappear so quick, 50,000 bottles? I think it was a week they were gone.

And they said, listen, when these guys are getting on the plane, they have no idea where they're headed. And 99% of these guys pick up a Bible and put it in their backpacks. for me.

This isn't the first time I've read this song, and I was reminded when we went over seven and eight. Personal application for me, I've got a number of health problems, and I'm working remotely from home, 100%, not going into work. So because of that, because I have PG&E for power, and many of you in the Pacific Northwest do as well, we have problems with them going down.

I've got a backup battery system here. I've got a generator. I've got backup Internet.

But for me, in my mind, I'm reminded by this that I'm not the glory in the things that I have accumulated here. Instead, the praise goes to God, and I trust in Him. And while there's nothing wrong with having these things, it could be considered prudent, but I don't trust in Him.

The trust goes to Him that I have the things I need. and I don't glory in what I have. Back to you, Jeff.

Yeah, good observation, and we shouldn't glory in what we have, but we should be very grateful for what we have. Obviously, we are blessed people here, and that's a great observation. Here's another story I've got that I'd love to share.

I went to a men's retreat one time in Colorado with John Eldridge, and I didn't know who this guy was. I had no idea what this was all about. I went to church with my wife and my family.

And after we got out of church, we went to get some gas right next door to the church. An AFP out there. And as I'm pumping my gas, a guy comes up to me, looks like a homeless guy, and he said, "I want your money." And I said, you want my money?

What's that? Are you hungry or something? He said, no, you didn't hear me.

I said, I want your money. And I reflected back on exactly what I had just learned that weekend about battling with the enemy. And I thought, well, this is interesting.

And I said, are you robbing me? "Hey, sit here holding a gas pump. Are you robbing me?" And he said, "I want your money." And I said, "Look, my church is next door.

Let's go back over there and get you a sandwich and get you kind of fixed up." And he said, "You're not getting it." I started to realize, I'm talking to an enemy. And when I did, I held my hand down right in front of his face and I said, "Satan, I've got power over you in the name of Jesus. And if you want to find out what that means, stick around.

Let's keep this going. If not, you better turn and run. His eyes flew open, and he took off running like he saw a ghost.

Does that not kind of smack of songs to want to hear? He realized, I'm up against the wrong guy. That wasn't me.

That was the Lord in my stead. And that was the Lord saying, "Ah, not today, not this guy." So, any more comments, go ahead. KB7, this is Lance.

Hello, Captain. Good morning again. Go ahead.

I really like verse 5 when it says, "We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners The Lord fulfill all thy petitions. And I just really think that is something that we all can do all day, every day, is be thankful for our salvation. If there's nothing else going right, the most important thing is that we're saved by God.

And that's just the top of everything that we could ever have, is God's salvation. and it says in the name of our God where we set up our banners. And we just need to be constantly being thankful for our salvation and thankful to God for all the extras that we have on top of that and living this life.

THAT GOD IS A GREAT GOD, AND WHEN WE CALL ON HIM, IT SAYS, "THE LORD WILL FULFILL ALL OUR PETITIONS." IF OUR PETITIONS ARE ACCORDING TO HIS WILL, HE'LL FULFILL THEM. AND SO WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR AND TO SHOUT OUT TO THE WORLD ABOUT, THAT WE'RE SAVED BY GOD, TRUE, MIGHTY GOD THAT CREATED EVERYTHING. WE GET TO TRUST IN HIM AND HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR, AND WE HAVE everything to thank him for that he's built up the patience.

Back to you, Jim. Yeah, thank you, Kathy. Wonderful, wonderful wrap-up of this.

Yes, I totally agree. You know, and I hear about you doing your third knee. I'm up here in God's country, no question.

I'm sitting right now looking out at Lake Coeur d'Alene. And wow, what a beautiful place up here. And aren't we blessed?

No matter where you live, no matter what you're out looking at, we're alive. We're doing well. some of the sponsor challenges which we all know but consider that pure joy because you get to share that with somebody else you get to share that experience and when you see miracles in your life you get to share them with everybody and prove to people that god exists and i and i have a story i won't go into this one because it's just a little too long but i have a story that i get to tell about um The long odds that God shows people to prove to everybody that He exists, and I've had this happen many, many times, and it's happened.

You know what? I'm going to share this story. You guys, hopefully you'll be all right with this.

Let me tell you a story about Betsy Davis, and this is a story that I share with a lot of people, especially my own big crowd. When I turned 60 years old, which was 12 years ago, I had just been through cancer and throat cancer and all that kind of thing. And I was worn out.

I was just beat up. And my wife and I decided to pray that somebody else would take over this ministry of distributing Bibles to the military. and it was a year-long prayer.

And I was getting more and more and more frustrated because I really couldn't do a good job of providing what God needed to get these Bibles deployed. We had outside help from people trying to put it all together and make it happen. How about this?

And so what ended up happening is after a year of prayer and no answer, and I know we've all been through this, where you pray to God and say, "God, please answer my prayer here." I need something to happen. After all that time, about a year after we started this prayer, I woke up one morning just angry at God. I was fuming at God.

At 4:00 in the morning, I prayed for a couple of hours and said, "God, today's the day. Today's the day you're going to show me what we're going to do or I'm out. I'm not going to do this anymore.

You're going I didn't recommend anybody do it, but I did. And I just said, "I'm just done." If you're not going to answer up, don't ever do this, by the way. This is a phone hit of Jeff that did this.

I got in my car, drove to my office, and when I got to my office, I sat in front of my computer at my desk just staring at the computer and thinking to myself, "You're going to get struck by lightning. I mean, you just told God how the cow eats the cabbage. I sat there until 9 o'clock and my phone rang, and it was a woman calling me from Kentucky.

And she said, is this Jeff, the Bible guy? And I said, yes, yes it is, ma'am. She said, my name is Betsy Davis, I'm in Kentucky, and God asked me to call you.

That was a little bit of a shock. Then I got very, very concerned this might be the lightning that I was expecting coming And she said, sit down. God asked me to tell you a story.

And I said, okay. That's fair enough. As I was shaking in my boots, she said that I saw your Bibles eight years ago.

And start thinking about this, folks. Eight years ago, I saw your Bibles in a bookstore. and I understood that I could find these Bibles and I could write a message into each one of them, a personal message of blessing.

And she said, "So I decided with my tea every morning I would take a Bible out, and I'd sign a message in it to a soldier and pray over that Bible and put it back in the box." And I said, "Wow, that's really cool." And she said, "And I understood if I left those Bibles at the bookstore, they would get them to you, and you would deploy them." And I said, "That's correct." She said, "Okay, a week ago," this is eight years later, "a week ago, I was in a Cracker Barrel restaurant, and she said, 'The manager told me, Bessie, there is 100 soldiers coming, two busloads, that are coming in for breakfast.'" And I was thinking, where is she going with this? And she said, I asked the manager, can I sit in at the front door and hug each one of them as they come in? Sure, yeah, Betsy, you can do anything you want.

Well, these guys came in and started fouling in here, and she's hugging everyone, thanking them for their service. They have offered to have her join them for breakfast. Here's 100 soldiers in uniform and Betsy.

And she said, "I was in heaven." She's a widow. And she said, "Well, she's eating her breakfast." One of the soldiers came up and said, "Excuse me, ma'am, I didn't get my hug." And she said, "I'm sorry." And she, he got, you know, she got up, gave him a big hug, and he said, "Ma'am, what is your name?" And she said, "Bethy Davison." He started crying. And you know where this story's going.

She said that he pulled the Bible out of his pocket, and it was from her. eight years prior, and she said, where did you get that Bible? He said, I got this three tours ago in Afghanistan.

Go ahead, you guys. How would you feel about that one? That's 87 to the channel.

Well, Roger, go for it. That's one of the... That is the greatest affirmation and that keeps you going in that ministry and keeps Betty Davis in her ministry of...

love and concern all wrapped around the precious word of God. Thank you for sharing that. Yeah, it was a shocker to me.

And then she said, Jeff, I don't know why God asked me to tell you that. I said, well, I've just witnessed a miracle like her phone call. And I said, I do know why he told you to tell me that, and that's because he doesn't want me to stop.

I don't recommend anybody telling God how the cow eats the cabbage or here's how things are going to go down, God. That's exactly what I did. And, you know, I'm convinced.

I've been thinking about this for many years. I think God was just thrilled that I did that. You know, oh, great, Jeff's on his knees.

Right. Anyway, the end of this story is that two weeks later I got a call from a chaplain in Iraq. He called me from Iraq and he said, Jeff, I've got to tell you, the Bibles that you're printing are life-saving.

It's a life-saving thing, not just the Word of God, but also they have camo covers that match our uniforms. And you said, I don't know if you know this, but when we give out a black Bible or a green Bible, we get those from different organizations, and they're not. Normally, they hold a New Testament.

They're just a New Testament. But when these guys are reading this, we can see them from a satellite. When you have two contrasting colors like that, this isn't good.

So don't you dare stop praying those Bibles. And at that point, I told God, okay, I get it. Thanks very much for clarifying where my life needs to go from here.

Go ahead. That's quite an insight. So they ended up, what is it, camo, what did you say, camo what?

Our Bibles have a camo cover on them, just like their uniforms. They match their uniforms. And so he said, when you're reading this, you're not visible anymore than normal, but when you got a black Bible in your hand, you're a target.

Anyway, there you go. So, just, and sorry I took up so much time sharing that, but I use this story all the time and tell kids especially, get out your calculator. What are the odds of, It's her signing those Bibles eight years ago, and today a guy shows up that had one of those Bibles that he got three tours ago overseas.

That's impossible. I actually called the mathematician after this happened, and I said, Listen, I'm going to share a quick story with you, which I did. And I said, What are the odds of this?

And he said, Jeff, I'm not going to calculate that, but I'll tell you this. If you bought two lottery tickets and won both of them in the same day, the odds of what you just told me are longer than that. It's absolutely impossible.

And don't we serve an impossible God? Isn't that what this is all about? We serve an impossible God.

So I hope you've all been blessed by this passage this morning, Dan. Thank you for reading that. Any other comments?

Go ahead. KB7, ZXN. This is Alex and good morning again.

Go ahead. Well, very good job. Yeah.

And wonderful story. You know, we marvel at God's faithfulness and I just wanted to come back to, uh, both Jerry's comment on the personal application. here because I think that is very appropriate.

And you gave examples of that too here, Jeff, in your stories and examples you gave. And Kathy's point on Chapter 5, you know, the theme of this is, my hope is built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. You know, you shall not trust the sweetest frame, but only...

trust in jesus name on christ the solid rock i stand for all other ground is sinking sand and you know god is faithful and we need to come to him first in prayer both in personal application now we see here this is kind of on a national scale but these very same principles They're at work here. And this very same God that is at work here and this very faithful covenant relationship that is at work here, God has made a covenant with us. God is always faithful, as your stories illustrated there, Jeff.

And we can trust him at one of the most personal and intimate levels as well. Give me sevens that example. Yeah, thank you.

Thank you again, Kevin. And, you know, for everybody that's listening here, and I've just been the recipient of incredible grace of God. And good morning, by the way, to Santos, KJ7, each of you in Las Vegas, and also KJ7, WKI, David in Idaho Falls.

Good to see you all here this morning. I've been the recipient of some incredibly rich blessings, including health issues. which are a blessing.

And as one of my mentors told me years and years ago, you guys, if you read this Bible, it's 100% true. It's not been proven wrong. And these kinds of stories are what prove it.

So, great. Great study this morning, you guys, and I'm going to close this in prayer. And any other prayer concerns real quick before Al prays for us?

Or any other comments? Go ahead. All right, Al, would you close this in prayer this morning?

I'm sorry. Well, thank you, Pastor Jeff, and good morning to everyone on the net. This is KJ722H.

Let's come before the Lord in prayer. Heavenly Father, thank you for bringing us together today, and thank you for this passage where we can learn together. to help you work in our life beyond our understanding.

And so we just allow you to lead the way and go before us. And we include you in our plan. Whatever challenges we have in our lives are just, the odds of success are just multiplying.

Lord, thank you for being in our lives. We thank you for being with us here today. Thank you for this lesson.

And in just the same manner, we give you the praise and the glory for all of our successes. We thank you also for the success of Jeff, a.k.a. Joe Hayes.

and part of me for the, uh, the shots that continue to report that and for the lane I was hoping and with no casualty as well and that that will bear fruit and be a successful here at the National Park for your glory and we also want to thank our brother Will, Bill, Mike, and his sister who has her surgery able to remove 85% of the tumor that they were after. We pray that in future treatments will also be successful. We looked at Jerry, KG6J, and I'm afraid, that Rachel, Rochelle, who is waiting treatment, was also successful receiving that.

We lift up our sister Carol, a gay 70 PO, and the healing of her LeFleur vaccine. We also pray for her son, Mark Prince, who has diabetes and we have to set the control. So he can have his back surgery up to life 30.

And our brother Bert, W7RKD, and both Tom, WW77, He was here today. So we say hello to him and lift him up as he lost his wife three months ago. Tom is recovering from a major spinal surgery.

He's in a wheelchair in serious need of. daily assistance and encouragement. So, and also we lift up our brother Jerry, and he's MDR, and his sister-in-law Toni has prayed that he is, Toni is going to better from her multiple myeloma.

We continue to pray for our brother back now, Calcify Gates. That is back home now, so pray for them. Pray for them to continue in the evolution of this double vision.

Also for their neighbor, Sandy. We need to heal her from terminal cancer. She also needs a need of salvation.

The praetor is healing through his medical treatment that he received. For Cody KI7TRF. and the healing of his mom's broken arm, and the healing of his father Roger from colon cancer, and the healing of his uncle Doug, a believer with a fear-hating dream.

He had his first surgery, and so moved his right eye, but... We pray that you will be able to see the additional procedures and follow the pieces of that. We pray for his ongoing treatment and recovery and also for those who need salvation.

Meanwhile, we give you praise for the successes we've had so far in managing our church's time with in-house. We also pray for the silent multitude who listen to the West Coast Bible Society and you guys who meet their needs as well. We lift up Brian KJ7's PWM and it's a trist for his salvation.

With that Lord, we want to thank you for your goodness and your 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.

Daniel 7:2-8, it's referring back to you Pastor. Yes, it's what's next to go. Thank you, Al.

Wonderful list. Well, that's a big list today, isn't it? We've all got stuff going on, but God is good.

God is good. So thank you, and yes, we pray for Pastor Max, and Kathy is on his way back. He will be here tomorrow, and I'll be back in Brockwood tomorrow morning as well.

So thanks to everybody that jumped in here today. This is Jeff, AK6OK, Net Control. to the wisdom of the Bible.

I want to thank all the states who checked in this morning as well as those who stood by to give us a clear operating frequency. We meet here seven days a week at 6 a.m. in order to read the Bible, understand its meaning and message, and I pray that God will help us live out what we learn and meet the needs of our circle of fellowship.

I'll be returning this frequency now to general amateur use. This is Jeff AK608 from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and we'll be clearing and standing by. WB7ZL.

WB7ZL, go ahead. I just am so blessed by all your efforts. As you well know, I have such a high noise level It's a good S7 all the time.

And your signal was so beautiful. I love the audio, too. It's got just the right amount of compression, too, to really make intelligence ability and quality at the same time.

And thank you. All the efforts are just huge. And praise to our great God.

We just say thank you, Lord, for making it all possible. Thanks, guys. Safe trip back home.

Bye-bye. Well, thank you. And, yeah, this partially is KT60TS.

up here, Peter, and his beautiful house and the remote up here. You know, I certainly could log in from Burrow Station in Rockland and start using this up here. We might do that.

That's a possibility. A lot of the stations on the net here are up in the Oregon area and Washington, Corruptible, Alaska, and it might be better served to use this transmitter. We're not sure yet.

We'll figure that one out, but we've got... two locations and soon to be three to transmit from. So, and it's a real blessing that Max can check in when he's back teaching classes back here in New Jersey.

I'm loving watching that. We'll get his audio straightened out as we go. This is a new thing for all of us.

And so it's kind of fun to put all this together. Go ahead. - Yeah, I'd like to kind of give praise to the Lord.

from all these wonderful things that came from the sanctuary, as our passage said. Yes, WB7VZL, thank you, guys. All right, thanks so much, and we'll talk to you all later.

AK6OK, stand by for a couple here. AK6OK, KD7ES. Yeah.

Yes, Kevin. Good morning. Go ahead.

Yeah, this is actually Eric, KD7ES over here in Salem, Oregon. And I just wanted to echo kind of what Roger was saying. Yeah, that signal, yeah, it's amazing.

I'm on a loop myself. It's just under 300 feet here on my lot. Of course, I'm on a city lot, so I don't have a lot of room.

And getting it up in the air was a little bit of a challenge as well. It's not nearly as high as your loop. It's probably about 20 to 25 feet.

But anyway, yeah, I'm hearing you pretty well here. and I haven't really been hearing the Idaho stations all that well. I'll hear them in there once in a while, and then they kind of just drop out.

And I'm kind of in the same boat as Roger there. My noise level here is... S7 to S8 every day.

But yeah, you're coming through real strong. And I was kind of curious how you sung that loop up. Did you have to use a bunch of trees on the lawn, or did you use some sort of like a tele-stopping master or something like that?

Over. Oh, and Eric, sorry I missed your name. That's just me.

There's trees all over the place. What are these, 100-footers? They're easily 100 feet, maybe 125 pine trees.

We had a friend, a church friend of Peter's here that is a climber and he jumped up there, limbed a couple of these trees. Are there three of them or four? Yeah, three of them.

And he limbed the trees all the way up to about the 100-foot level and pulled pulleys up for us, tied them down. Were you using number 10 wire? I think it's number 10 wire.

Yeah copy that. Very good. I got my loop going down to a 4:01 current balance and my front is really not that long.

Maybe 75 feet or so actually to my house. Yeah, like I said, I'm kind of cramped up in space here, but I made it work. I ran that fire out on the outer edges of my lot as best I could.

I sure wish I had a little higher trees, but that's how it goes living in the city. You may or may not have that kind of landscape. You're doing really, really well, and I appreciate everything you did today.

Great night. Over to you. He got it.

Thank you, Eric. Yeah, it was just a ball today. I loved it.

And we have a, it's really kind of cool because we come down from the top of the tree. That's about 100 feet at the feet end. Comes down with ladder line right to a one-to-one on the side of the building.

And then we've only got about 20 feet of cable to go to the sample part. So. Yeah, it's a pretty cool setup here, Eric.

And back there, what you got there, you know the signal is really getting bad after about 6:30, 7:00. It starts to degrade pretty good here, but you're still hanging in there. You're about a 7 or 8.

Our noise level here is probably 5 right now. And the wind's up too, but anyway, you're doing great with the loop antenna, Eric. Okay, yeah, very good.

And I'm not running any power either, so I'm barefoot, 100-flot. And, uh, but, uh, just to let you know, I will probably, here in the next few days, uh, Lord willing, be joining the Flexi. Family, uh, Flux Radio Planetary Family.

So, uh, I went ahead and took the plunge on the 510M. Over. 10M, is that the Aurora?

Yeah, that's the Aurora. It's the Aurora, and it's got the 500 watt built inside. So it puts out 500, and it's got the internal power supply and the internal antenna tuner as well.

Over. You know what? very cool radio.

I saw that at CSAT Oregon a year ago and I was very very impressed with it. You're gonna have fun with that. If you need some assistance with the Flex, let us know.

'Cause we've got a couple up front and there's some challenges depending on your internet connection and all that kind of stuff. There's some little tweaks. We should start a FlexNet, shouldn't we?

And where we can walk you guys through what we've already been through with all that. So you're gonna love that radio though, Eric. Yeah, that was that'd be a wonderful idea to kind of set something up.

I was talking with Patrick back back and forth. And yeah, he sent me the manual for the thing. And I think he said it was like 500 pages or something like that.

And I'm like, Oh, Okay. There's going to be quite a learning curve. There's so much to that radio, I think, that I don't know if I'll be able to learn or grasp everything.

But I hope to get the basics down to where it's very functional for me here. Over. Yeah, Mac has this radio too.

He just bought one. And he struggled a little bit with getting that thing set up and working on it with this camera. You never know.

We might even go up there. But watch the videos. It's a good thing to watch videos of the band and see what people are tripping over.

The filtering on these things is unbelievable on the receive side. They've got all kinds of new filtering on the version 4.4 4.2.2 422 we've uh we're running out on all the systems right now and uh it's amazing what kind of uh signal changes you see with these these new filters yeah copy yeah i i have uh i don't know if you uh got my email here uh probably about a week ago and I'd say, I don't know, around a month or so ago. I have this RFI on my water bottle and my my radio up to battery power um across the band and portland thankfully it's not on this frequency because uh i don't i would not be able to copy much of anything at all if it was but anyway it's pretty much straight across the band on every hf friend about 20 children apart and i guess the consensus of everybody that I've talked to is just a switching power supply of some sort.

I know for pretty much eliminating, I know for a fact it's not something that went inside my house. So it's outside somewhere in the neighborhood. But it just all of a sudden one day it popped up and it took my noise level from about S5 to S6.

7S8 almost every day. Over. Okay, and is it a solid noise that you're seeing every 20 kilometers?

Yeah, it's a solid, it's like a buzzing noise. I even called the electric company and they did their due diligence and there was nothing found so I kind of eliminated that, maybe a power line or a power transformer, but I you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you you

========== ### Scripture Reading (KJV) > Psalm 20:1-9 (KJV) > > The LORD hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; > Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; > That all thy enemies may be found liars before thee; and that they which hate thee may fall from thee. > Yea, let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth before it groweth up: > But let him rejoice that sweareth by thee; but let him be confounded that bringeth an accusation against thee. > That they may know that thy name is the LORD, and that thou art the most High over all the earth. > The LORD shall do that which pleaseth him in the heaven and in the earth: he will give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed. > All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. > For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations. > Why should the heathen say, Where is now their God? > But our God is in the heavens: he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him. >

### Study Summary The Bible study centered on Psalm 20, a psalm that serves as a blessing and a prayer for protection and victory. Jeff, AK6OK, introduced the passage and highlighted David's plea to God for divine protection and support during times of distress. The psalm contrasts human trust in military might, represented by chariots and horses, with the trust in the Lord, emphasizing the importance of relying on God rather than human assets.

KB-7, Zedek's in, further elaborated on the theme of trusting in God's strength over human accomplishments. The discussion referenced Psalm 23:4, where God is with us through trials, and historical events from 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, and 2 Chronicles to illustrate the outcomes based on prayer. The national and personal application of the psalm was discussed, emphasizing the importance of prayer before battle, both nationally and personally. A personal story was shared about Operation Worship, which distributes Bibles to the military, highlighting the significance of faith and trust in God's provision.

Jeff, AK6OK, shared a personal testimony about Betsy Davis and the distribution of Bibles to the military. The story illustrated how Betsy Davis prayed over Bibles, and a soldier received one after eight years, emphasizing the power of faith and God's intervention. The study concluded with a focus on salvation and thankfulness, referencing verse 5 in Psalm 20, and the importance of being thankful for salvation and trusting in God's will.

The session ended with a prayer led by Al, KJ722H, thanking God for the passage and the blessings received. Jeff, AK6OK, thanked the participants and invited them to continue the study. The study also included a brief technical discussion on antenna setup and the new Flex Radio, with Eric, KD7ES, sharing his loop antenna setup and plans to join the Flex Radio family. The closing remarks emphasized appreciation for the participants and encouragement to continue the study. ==========
