[5:58] that's my favorite good so that shows

[5:59] you how much water is coming down our

[6:01] river right now it is literally flowing

[6:03] and pushing the ocean over this way oh

[6:06] the sun's

[6:08] out this is what they call the bar and

[6:11] you'll hear the the term cross I heard

[6:14] that that's because sometimes RVs hang

[6:17] out on them yeah because what happens is

[6:20] that high tide I mean low tide all right

[6:24] I'm going to pause this for a second cuz

[6:25] there's a person coming we met a very

[6:27] cool local she was so cool she was doing

[6:30] crabbing out here and talking about

[6:32] crabs and different places and all kinds

[6:34] of stuff that I know nothing about it

[6:35] was awesome I told her she was

[6:38] awesome we're walking out on the crab

[6:41] dock here the crab dock Little Beach

[6:45] there that's a horrible Beach usually

[6:47] the water's way up here

[6:49] yeah I'm going to miss this place so

[6:53] much I used to go down here bring my

[6:55] folding chair bring my ice chest

[6:59] and I sit down and I put the Crab Pot in

[7:02] the water and I sit for a couple hours

[7:04] watching The View this is night so this

[7:07] is enco River right Winchester Bay en

[7:10] River

[7:11] yeah river is flowing through I've never

[7:15] seen a river act like an ocean well it's

[7:17] just because that's we don't have

[7:20] natural car here we all go through

[7:23] Rivers this is how an ocean reacts not

[7:26] how a river reacts this we are an is

[7:29] this the ocean or the river hi birie oh

[7:32] my God that was so awesome holy crap oh

[7:42] food hoping you got something to feed

[7:44] them here these little buoys that you

[7:47] see that's marking people's C Dots oh

[7:50] really yeah how fascinating you have

[7:54] usually you're supposed to have your

[7:55] name and your phone number on it and

[7:57] then you drop it over and leave it there

[7:59] it's illegal for anyone even to touch

[8:01] them wow they get serious trouble

[8:06] poaching a lot of people don't put their

[8:08] names and their phone numbers on but I'm

[8:10] curious to see how you know I mean how

[8:13] anal I

[8:15] am clear about

[8:17] everything so yeah what they're going to

[8:20] do here they'll put that out probably in

[8:22] the morning and they'll come back

[8:23] tomorrow morning okay and then cuz what

[8:26] happens is as the crabs start going in

[17:03] patterns so that the boats know which

[17:04] one they're

[17:06] at I've discussed all this with

[17:09] AI oh look at that government

[17:13] property that was a beautiful I really

[17:16] wanted to be a Duma where I was supposed

[17:18] to be in April and then my boss one of

[17:21] the coolest Rangers I've ever met in my

[17:22] life she needed to move me to tugman and

[17:26] then then they kicked me out of the

[19:01] lot

[19:04] actually yeah I imagine Sailors coming

[19:07] by and having sex with them that's what

[19:09] I always think about I imagine a past

[19:12] life I was one of them back then there

[19:14] was nothing else up here these trees

[19:15] weren't here they would have kept the

[19:17] trees away to make a clear I mean the

[19:20] one at Kate Blanco that guy would have

[19:21] been so like out there all by himself

[19:24] and sailors would just come on enough

[19:26] and give him a good time yep that's yeah

[19:30] yeah let's just end it there so let's

[19:32] end it with the sign beautiful

Energetic Signature bittersweet grounding

Field State conscious departure

Orientation toward sovereign mobility

Summary

rswfire spends a day exploring the Oregon coast with John, a volunteer friend. They visit multiple locations including Winchester Bay, Umpqua Lighthouse, and South Jetty County Park. The transmission documents their activities: observing a double rainbow, visiting a crab dock where John explains crabbing operations and crab pot markers, walking on jetties, exploring beaches, and watching ocean waves. rswfire expresses deep connection to the ocean and mentions upcoming departure plans to head south to Nevada, then Kentucky, with plans to return in autumn. Throughout the day, they engage in casual conversation about local wildlife (ducks, seals, birds), lighthouse operations, oyster farming, and dune recreation. rswfire notes this will be among his final days in the area and repeatedly expresses how much he will miss the ocean. The transmission captures a relaxed day of coastal tourism and friendship.

Signal Analysis
