k6ccc Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Not much point in a light show as it will be broad daylight. If the intent is the same time regardless of time zone, for me it's noon. Convenient that noon is when the flags are supposed to be raised back to full staff. I could arrange to play taps at that time easily enough...

My house lights will be visible but unless it’s extremely overcast like you said most lights like my matrixs will not show well. Either way I will play taps on the karaoke speaker and all light will be on JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibblejr Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Hmm- I see that. I was going off our news and last year. Thanks for the heads up, I was going to be an hour early. Had it not been for Phil Massey I may have missed it altogether. Took more time that I care to mention (6hours+) to get my FM transmitter recognized by my show computer. It seems that the reinstall of Win10 I had to do a couple months ago changed the headphones port that o have used since new to a different port. And I didn’t get the typical box to pop up saying it found an audio source and which one I’d like to use. What a pain. Thanks again for the news on the time.

k6ccc Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Taps played properly in my front yard. One neighbor obviously heard it, and paused momentarily, but then continued what he was doing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end a great man and friend Phil Massey helped get me fixed up but it was a mess. MS installed 2 x Win10 in my computer and hung me out to dry Thank you Phil JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prevue12 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I played taps on my guitar, amp on 10, next year two amps daisy chained, one wasn't loud enough. I wish I could play a bugle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
