This is K6HFP John up in Orville. Hope everybody had a nice Christmas. It's, it's always nice when, when Christmas falls on a Thursday because, because those Christmas breaks from work are extra long sometimes so sometimes not even so even when it is on a Thursday sometimes you just gotta go into work but every once in a while you know you get that long Christmas break and it's always nice. So but man we got, we didn't have an astronomical amount of rain this, this system but we did get over, over 10 inches, probably closer to 11 inches of rain and I was kind of surprised that we got that much to tell you the truth. I didn't think we were going to get that much even with the forecast saying we were going to get 10 plus. I really didn't think it was going to be that, that much but now it's pretty close to wind what they forecasted I was, that's why I was so surprised. But anyways now the cold, cold weather comes in before we get some more rain in a couple days. So the winter patterns are, are going to be a plentiful this year I guess. But anyways, hope everybody's having a nice evening. We got a good zoom tonight. A lot of, a lot of folks turned out for that tonight. It was good to see everybody and trying to think I had one other item but it's flipping, flipping my mind at the moment. So I guess that's all I got for now. Hope everybody has a good week and I'll pass it over to Jeff and see what he's up to. KB9 MYF and the net, K6HFP. Well I'm gonna be this week moving a few antennas around, putting them up higher and other than that there's not much going on around here. KB9MYF and already you can't. Thank you Jeff. Ko6jit Ken in Brownsville where I got 13.68 inches of rain from the last system. It was a massive thing up here and dirt road was kind of rutted a little bit. Other than that not doing a whole lot of with radio. I've been doing things with my friend, my girlfriend and family for church and for holiday. Other than that I have no other information. I will pass it to Gary. KF6. Thank you there. This is KF6CWO Gary in Orville. I'm working on building a satellite antenna qfh one of those twisty jobbers that I came across in a YouTube video and it just so happens my son in law and his daughter are into 3D printing. So I was able to have them print some of the parts out that I need. So that'll be interesting to see how that works out. Christmas was nice, a little bit hectic, a lot of plans changed between my two daughters but we had a nice time with family and eventually everybody ended up at our house whereas we were going to go to everybody else's. But that's one thing about family and having a backup plan if something goes on. Need to make changes. Other than that not much going on over here so I'll pass it on back to Jim. W7X Ray Zulu this is KF60 to. Kf6ew om Manette W7X Ray Zulu okay Gary, very good. And well before I ramble here a bit we'll put out one more call. Do we have any additional check ins to the net? W7X Ray Zulu WP6AXM Receiver. Well, nothing heard Christmas here was kind of interesting. I was awakened by the phone ringing about quarter to five Christmas morning. There it was PGE notifying me that I had a power outage and anyway I was getting mentally prepared to set up a generator and run the line into the fridge if it was going to be an all day affair and all that. But fortunately about two and a half hours later around 7:15 the power came back on and I got another call from PG&E on the phone. Automated calls saying your power is back. Anyway, the power was kind of, well let's see, scattered in the area I guess would be the best word. And oldest daughter posted the family for Christmas Christmas dinner at her place and her Daughter, well, she had. She had a power outage that went on till about 3 o' clock in the afternoon, but her daughter several blocks away there in Thermalito had power, never lost it and she ended up doing the honors that far as a bit of the cooking there for the Christmas dinner feast. Anyway, it went as hoped and had something on the north side of 20 family members there for Christmas dinner and the two daughters in town here, the younger the two picked me up early afternoon and then delivered me over to her older sister's place there so I could enjoy Christmas dinner there with the family. And aside from that haven't been doing too awfully much on the air here with the exception of keeping a morning sketch of some fresh friends on 75 meters. Anyway, with that I'll put out one more call. Do we have any additional check in for the net W7X Ray Zulu, Kilo Oscar 6 Bravo Gulf Yankee Paul in Calusa. Ko6bgy. Good evening Paul and thank you for checking in tonight. Don't know how much time you've had to listen to the proceedings here on the net there, but please take a transmission. KO6BGY Manette W7X set. Sure thing. Not too much to report here. Hopefully on the mend of what seems to be, I think a rather bad sinus infection. Left side of the nose is still plugged up and get a coughing fit here once in a while that thing is gonna be the one that takes you out, but it never is. But it's pretty close. It's with that we didn't have anyone over for the holidays because mom and I were both sick, so didn't want to pass that on. But it was still a nice cozy chill Christmas and with that I'll go the cat's getting cats out of the cat. Cats get out of there. Anyway with that I'll pass it back to you. Net control ko6 easy. Ko6bgy and then at w7x ray zulu. Okay paul, very good and well put out. One more call. Do we have any additional check ins to the w7x ray zulu? Nothing hurt. I'll run it back up the line. Does any station have any additional comments for the net w7x3 zulu? Ko6git kio6git. Go ahead. Ken. Yeah, you're talking again about power outages up here or up in this area. On Christmas morning my power went out about 5:04am and I waited to I could see outside to hook my generator up and I got the power back restored and that's when the lightning and hail began. So at that point there I disconnected my antenna from my radio and did not do my skywarn net for the morning. But yeah, it was quite an exciting adventure for the weather for Christmas Day. Okay Ken, well right around, right around the time number two daughter came to get me out of the house here which was around 1:30 Christmas Day afternoon we had a bit of the lightning and thunder and had a pretty good drop of hail here too. So yeah there was definitely some Christmas Day weather all the way around. Anyway, with that, does any other station have any additional comments for for the nav this W7X ray zoo, Nothing heard. Sounds like we might have got it done here. I'll put out a last call for any late check ins or any unfinished business before closing the two mutual portion of the net and giving 10 meters a try. For those who can. This is W7X Ray Zulu K6HFP. K6HFP, go ahead John Hey Jim, I just wanted to thank you for running the net tonight and I don't have my 10 meter antenna up right now so won't be on 10 so just wanted to thank you for running the net and Happy New Year to everybody and back to you KSF HFP. Okay John, anyway thank you for the check ins tonight on 2 meters and also in the Zoom session and Happy New Year. I'll put out one more last call for any late check ins or any unfinished business before closing the 2 meter portion of the net W7XZ. Good evening K8 here late K A6ETB. Good evening Amanda and thank you for the check in tonight and take a transmission please. Ka6ETB and the net W7XZ thank you. I'm so glad the fog is gone. It has been grim gray for so long and it's nice to have a great clear up and have the sun pretend to shine for a while. We had a power outage here too in my neighborhood. I don't know how far out it reached but that was just for probably a couple hours and that was about it. But you know we can't seem to function without those light switches and all our other stuff. But it was in the morning around 8 I think. But other than that it's kind of quiet. So best wishes to all who were on the radio tonight and Happy New Year and thank you Jim for doing the net and all be clear. This is Ka60TV back to Nick, Ka60TB and Nat W7X Ray Zulu. Okay Amanda, very good. And there were some power outages and also my son in law has Tree of Life Tree service based out of Oroville here and he's got a fairly good list of places to send the crew for some tree cut up and clear outs here and there. Anyway, do we have I'll put out one more last call for any late check ins or any unfinished business before we close the 2 meter net. This is W7XZ WE6A X N repeater. Nothing heard. Sounds like we got it done. Thanks to all who checked into the Internet this evening and we'll give this a try again this coming Sunday evening at 8pm local time. This is W7X Ray Zulu signing the Oroville Amateur Radio Society Sunday night Net clear and going QSY to 28.450 MHz upper sideband. Good evening and Happy New Year to all.

K06aub, can I get a signal report, please? Calling from Plummer Peach outside of Reading. Hey, you're making it pretty well. There's, you know, a little bit of white noise, but you're very readable. No problem. This is Paul, W, 6B and H. Thank you very much, Paul. I had an opportunity to be out in the middle of nowhere today, and I thought I'd see if I can get a hop off of this Repeater and about 50 miles west of Redding. That's a pretty good jump. It sure is. And, boy, at least right here, it's a beautiful day to be out. You're getting some sunshine and blue sky there. Oh, yeah. Not even a cloud in the sky. No wind. It's gorgeous. Just enough snow on the. On the roads to make some of the hilltops impassable, but there's bigger things to worry about, I guess. Yeah. Well, enjoy your time out. And, yeah, you're making it great. So that's exciting. Pretty good shot there, I guess. All right, thanks a lot, Paul. Well, I'm going to get back to it, man. Appreciate it. It'll be KO6AUB, clear for now. Seven three. Sir. Yeah. 73W, 6P and H. Clear.

Ka6auq.ka6auq.wb6aew. Good afternoon keel november 6 bravo xrx3 michael mobile north sacramento rated check to the off. Get the yuba repeater. Mobile northbound 99 out of Sacramento from Vendura. Sounds good. Yeah, I was just scanning my YAESU mobile on my way home to Carmichael. Almost home there so. Good. Just want to make sure. My radio sucks. I have a kind of a small low low profile mag mounted tennis so it looks like it's coming. Just the views repair just fine. All right. I appreciate the comeback and hope the fog isn't too bad up there. Are you north of Sacramento? I moved down to Ventura and visiting up to Yuba City here visit my son and grandkids. And your full quiet in the machine sounds really good. Good, that's encouraging. Good. Alex, one of those comet low profile looks like an old cell phone antenna. So I want to make sure it works kind of good way. Especially with wind and all that. All right. Appreciate you. And if I get your nick before you make a whip and you have a safe trip and thanks again. 73 okay? Real fine. Yeah, a piece of code hanger would work at these frequencies. So good luck to you 73. Have a good year. Bye bye. W16 sensory as well can 60x will be clear of soda abuse repeater.

Wb6aew, k6auq. 6 auq.wb6aew just over on 5 2. Thought I heard you calling. I did try on 52 but I guess I didn't wait long enough before I jumped over because just now I'm in north of Vacaville. Well that's good. Yeah, you're scratchy in there. I could just tell it was you. Heard your call and that's. I just told mom to send you a text. That's at 5:2 so we're heading for the house. You're heading for the house. See you there about what, 45 minutes or so? Half an hour. Just about an hour from here. That I misfigured. I thought we'd be there around 3 o'. Clock. Well that's fine because like I said I'm. I'm an hour out. Okay, real good. Yeah, it says 30 miles on the road sign here. How was your day? Went well, slow. We had two crews out on storm. Still looks like they're gonna be getting released this even and the other crew that we had that was out, I think they were on storm over the weekend which means no one's going to be working because they need a 72 hour reset W E6A X N repeater. Well that's good. We've had an uneventful trip. Hasn't it been. It wasn't windy coming over the grade like I thought it might be and traffic hasn't been too bad. Been rolling along at a good 70, 75 miles an hour. Now we're doing about 65 staying within the speed limit. So been a good day so far and looking forward to spending a couple days with you guys. Well it sounds good. I actually have tomorrow off so I took it as my last day that I have on the books so figure I would take it since you guys are here. Full day. Glad you could do that. Glad your sister got to come up yesterday. Yeah, she got in about what, 7:30ish, I think. Yeah, I understand they've been at the mall today. Yeah, they called me. We're just there getting ready to head to Roseville and they asked if I was working a full day today. I'm like well until I hear differently. Yes. I think Emily was happy to be able to see her cousins so now she's learning to drive. But that's a scary one. Well remember I'm not too far off with Nathan. At least he has a couple small cars to drive in. Nathan got the. Those monsters that you drive but really he only has the Yukon xl. That's pretty big. If you remember, I learned how to drive an Aerostar. Yeah, but you could handle it. I think he'll be just fine. Every once in a while I have him move the car in forward or backwards in the driveway. So now I gotta get him out somewhere he can run around a little bit. Well, it makes things a little bit easier. Bit hectic for a while, but easier in the long run. Yeah, he's asking questions when driving. And I'm sure he's doing the same thing when Lisa is. Yeah, Lisa's been cramming on the. She downloaded something on the net, I think, and then she's been taking tests on that. Well, there's always room for taking the exam. But the hard problem is, you know, I'm proof of that. That you can overthink his question, that's for sure. And I hope Nathan doesn't get blown out of the water. Have to take a test. Has he talked anymore about going for his AM license? No, not since Joe in October. I think mom's been reading her book a little bit. Eden and Leland mentioned it, I think shortly after Joda as well, but I don't think anyone's done anything with it. Well, I had the opportunity to check into my 40 meeting that's coming up today. Got made my final check in at Gorman and that they could hear me. Okay, Well, that's good. Yeah, our nets are. Well, I don't remember if tonight there's a club net or not, but then our area's net is Thursdays. Oh, somehow I thought you were on Tuesday like we heard in Ventura. No, we're on Thursday night. Next Tuesday we have a in person Ars net over in Camarillo and so I'm looking forward probably go over to that one. Haven't checked into the net myself in quite a while, but I'd like to go over to the live meetings that they have. Yeah, Dana was talking about it. Not the live, not the area, but the club meeting. He was really pleased with the gift that I gave him. So I'd tell you, but you got one coming too. Okay, well, that's good. Was real successful with those plaques that I engraved. I brought in $100 on them so far. Oh, that's good. I'm looking at the possibility of buying that infrared module for the laser. So I can do some metal. That would be nice. Not ready for that one though. Yeah, they want 500 for it, so. I don't know. We'll see what happens. Well, grandma gave me a chunk of money, so I'm trying to be real careful how I spend it. Also, you will be pleased to know that I spoiled Lisa on Saturday and she has a. We now have a Nespresso machine so you can get your latte type of drinks. Oh, that sounds like fun. K, 6A, U, Q, WB6AEW. Okay, 6A, UQ. Yeah, so I'm. You should enjoy those. I had one this morning. Just coffee. Double ran the espresso pod. Since I'm getting back into drinking coffee, we'll have to see how that goes. I am anxious to try that design I showed mom earlier. Didn't see it. She told me she was pleased with it. I'm just hoping that the lettering's not too thin. Otherwise I have to kind of change the font a little bit. Well, I ordered myself in a hundred more of those bamboo pens and making up some of those for handing out just with sayings on them and Jesus loves you things. Well, they work. I think I still got 15 or 20 left that just have my business info on it. I don't remember. Were those similar to what I bought or did I buy something similar to you? I'm not remembering. Ours are all bamboo from stem to stern. Yep, they're the exact same. I sent you the link on them. Oh, yeah, they're really easy to work with. Yeah. You will be interested to see how I work my rotary too. Now that I got it figured out. Finally, everything's running like a champ on it. I think that's gonna be one of my next next steps before I go. Anything else? I'm having a lot of fun with it. I was using the rollers, but now I switched over to the chuck for the tumbler and it's working well. Now I just need to get Nathan working his lathe. I keep reminding him he picked up another order from one of the kids in the church, so. But we've been kind of dealing with some attitudinal issues between all three kids at home. Oh, I understand that. So has he turned any pins since the one that I saw that he had done? No, not since the one that he did. And we also didn't get the ring done. We were having kind of an issue on how we were keeping the block supported in the lathe because the ring is just so different. You actually have to put it onto a sacrificial block. But I did turn a wood ring and then it got dropped to the snapped. That's too bad. Looks like I have a highway patrol coming up on me real fast here. Well, that would be the 99 for you. I think he paced me for a second. Now he's moving on. Well, I mean you've got antennas all over your car. Yeah, it says communications all over the back of it. Now he's passing continue on. Yeah, I am just now 54 minutes, but 45 miles. So my ETA is 3:30ish. W E6AXM receiver A6A UQ. WB6AEW mobile northbound 99. Yeah, I think we're just right on. Right on the money. We'll be getting there about 3:00'. Clock. Okay, 6 au Freddie. All right, sounds good, dad. Well, we'll. I'll let you finish out your last 20 minutes of travel or so and I'll see you guys about a half hour after you get there. WB6AEW, K6AUQ. Okay, the highway patrolman just turned off. He's turning around. I think he's sitting there waiting for traffic coming the other direction. K6 auq. Have yourself a good afternoon. See you in about within the hour. Love you. And 73. Wow. Aew. All right, sounds good then K6A UQ northbound 505.
