Kn6gtm, wp6axm receiver.

Speaker A: Kk6vzd mobile.
Speaker B: WP6AXM repeater. KK6SYV mobile. Good evening, Chris.
Speaker A: Good evening. Good evening. Looks like you've got a nice pleasant drive home.
Speaker B: Yep, yep, it's been fine. Made one stop and now I'm on the rest of the way.
Speaker A: Special in your life?
Speaker B: Nothing spectacular. Just been working at reloading.
Speaker A: Reloading, eh? Multiple difference or just basically one caliber?
Speaker B: Just concentrating on my rifle right now. So. 6.5 Creedmore.
Speaker A: All right. That certainly has become a popular load. What's the advantages to it?
Speaker B: It's supposed to be a relatively flat shooting, inconsistent round for the velocities, capable of the, you know, weight of the bullet.
Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, I know my son's father in
Speaker B: law,
Speaker A: I guess he does. I'm not sure whether he does competition shooting, but. So I think that's his round of choice.
Speaker B: Yeah, for general, you know, people, general use. It's a pretty good round. It's not overly expensive and it's readily available. Or you got. Some of the other rounds are a little better for the ballistics, but they cost quite a bit more. Yeah.
Speaker A: Gotta say, I think it looks a little weird because it's got that big fat case compared to the size of the bullet itself.
Speaker B: Yeah, a little bit. But it's, I mean there's other ones that are even more extreme in that sense they call wildcat rounds, but they're just going for extreme velocities and then working towards back towards consistency from there, I guess you'd say.
Speaker A: Yeah. So what caliber does that equate to a 6.5 millimeter? Equates to what, 20, what 28 caliber or something like that. 27.
Speaker B: Yeah. Somewhere close to that range. If there's other rounds that are in that vicinity. It's just that, you know, that particular round they've done with it, that metric reading instead of a caliber reading.
Speaker A: Yeah, but that's somewhere in, around the 270 range.
Speaker B: Yes.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker B: Yeah, I,
Speaker A: I can't say that I know anything much about it because. Well, I've got a couple rifles with their standard calibers. I've got a 7 6, 308 and a 30. 30 and a 5. 5, 6.
Speaker B: Yeah. The first two are they classify in the 30 caliber range, you know, and then the 6.5 is a little bit smaller I believe than that.
Speaker A: Where do you go when you go shooting?
Speaker B: Well, locally, easiest place is Oroville or I've been, you know, if I just need to shoot a hundred yard range for, you know, testing bullets or something like that, I Go to the, the Yuba City range over there by the, by the levee.
Speaker A: Yeah, one of these days I'll actually have to take mine out and Saucy has just been shooting rounds off. I actually have to sight them in.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's where that Yuba City range is kind of nice because it's a little protected from the wind and you know, they've already done all your measurements and have target stands that drop right in at 100 yards. So if you're sighting in at 100 yards, it's relatively easy. And they're only like a few dollars for a rain state.
Speaker A: Yeah, well last time I checked it was if you're not a, if you're not a member, it's like 10 bucks, right?
Speaker B: Yeah, something like that. 10 or $12 for a non member.
Speaker A: Well, a very, very, very long time ago I was a member and went out shooting here a few times but didn't do it enough to warrant being a member all the time. But I did take advantage of the CMP shoot day when they pull out the Garand.
Speaker B: When everybody brings out their M1 and all have a competition essentially.
Speaker A: Well, the club itself owns Garand, so they bring it out to give people the opportunity to shoot them. Yeah, it was kind of fun.
Speaker B: That gives you a little challenge of using, you know, an old school rifle with open sights or peep sights, whatever they have on them and shooting at that hundred yard range with it.
Speaker A: Yeah, well, the attraction to me was gee, I get to shoot an honest to goodness rifle that was used during the war.
Speaker B: Exactly. Military rifle used during service.
Speaker A: Well, you are really close at Oroville range, aren't you?
Speaker B: Yeah, it's about 15 minutes or so from my house to the Oroville range. And if I want to shoot long distance there is at least out to 650.
Speaker A: Yeah, I would. I've always thought that I'd go down to that, that range just north of Lincoln and go shoot there. I've never made it.
Speaker B: Yeah, it's a decent range. They're only 300, but it's a controlled, you know, range with range masters and all that stuff. So if you're worried about that kind of stuff, if you're there by yourself, they're there to help you.
Speaker A: Yeah, my son took me, I think it was last year. We went to a range down by Rancho Seco and they've got quite a set up down there.
Speaker B: I'm not sure if that's what they call the Ione range or near Ione, whatever.
Speaker A: Probably Island's not far from Rancho Seco. So that's probably it.
Speaker B: That's probably in between the two. But yeah, their range has out to a thousand yards. But I think their range is backwards to me. But whatever, that's the way they run their range.
Speaker A: Well, they got quite a list of rules you got to abide by too, which you know, it's good. It keeps it safe for everybody and it keeps the range nice.
Speaker B: Yeah, true, but they're just their thousand yard range and you got to qualify to go onto it first. Keeps everybody safe. But like I said, they run it feet backwards. So they go out and they shoot at 100 yards or 200 yards first and their targets don't move. You move, but you shoot. Everybody says okay, let's move. And then they move back to the berm that they're shooting out for 300 yards and then everybody moves back to the 400 yard and then the 500 yards. Instead of having targets at several different ranges or you just pick the range that you would like to shoot.
Speaker A: Well, yes, that sounds a bit odd. Oh well, hey, I've just pulled into the driver driveway and I've got to get back out again in about half an hour. So I'm going to go inside and get what relaxed patient I can before I go ease again. I'll talk to you later. Have A great evening.

The first is this is the year of the club and there are already some club competitions going on for newsletters and websites and the like. But there will be more things about the clubs and the highlighting of clubs as we go forward. So stay tuned for that. Let me let the repeater drop. All right, and the next announcement is there is a worked All States contest that is going on all year long. It's America 250. This will be the 250th birthday of our signing of the Declaration of Independence. And to help celebrate that, there is a work to all states for 2026 contest that is already underway. It starts with just your standard work to all states in 2026, but there are three special endorsements you can earn as well. One is for contacting the W1AW portable stations in each of the states and that's going to be on a schedule throughout the year. Year. Each state's going to get a couple of weeks throughout the year and if you make contact with all of those portable stations for each state then you'll get a special endorsement. There's another endorsement for contacting clubs in every single state. There's another endorsement for triple play. Worked all states for CW phone and digital. Let me let the repeater drop again. Alright. So there's a lot going on for clubs and just for all of us amateur radio operators in general. General. And you can stay up to date a couple of different ways. You can of course go to arrl.org and find out the latest news. But we also like to republish those on our section website arrsac valley.org so feel free to check that website often.

Speaker A: How you doing? All right. Now, I was just waiting for a sneeze to come through. Oh, pretty good. Just sitting on the side of the road, waiting a few minutes before I go on.
Speaker B: Base, Is the gate not open?
Speaker A: No, with the fog, I left way early. I'm supposed to be out there by 8:30, so I don't want to be too early.
Speaker B: Okay. So, Mike, let's see. I think it's 74 calendar days and 52 working days.
Speaker A: You're counting down.
Speaker B: I've been counting down for months.
Speaker A: You letting everybody know at work, too?
Speaker B: Not loudly, but, yes. Well, yes, actually. Especially the people that I've had, you know, relationship with. I'll see one of them in the hallway or something and let them know. The Count.
Speaker A: Yep. It's definitely something to start a conversation with. Right?
Speaker B: Yeah. You know, if, if I felt like they had me better employed at work, I might not pay so much attention to it. But they don't. So, you know, I guess it has to do. I guess, you know, the Count actually has to do with my attitude towards the whole situation also. It's like, okay, you don't want to use me. You don't, you know, think that my knowledge is valuable, then, you know, I'll be glad to leave this place. And guess what? I've only got this much time left.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah. Well, like, I'm wondering what I have going on out there today.
Speaker B: Well, you mean what activity have they got as far as flying and things is concerned or just what your meeting is going to be all about?
Speaker A: Oh, what the meeting's gonna be about. I guess the general is gonna be speaking and who knows what else. It's a meeting with the honoraries and the, and the base commanders. Together.
Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. So you want to hear something interesting?
Speaker A: He.
Speaker B: He wasn't stationed there, but. And I miss him by a couple of years, but, you know, I think Beale is part of this 12th Air Force, and one of my high school classmates ended up being commander of the 12th Air Force for a while.
Speaker A: Oh, wow.
Speaker B: So if I'd stayed in a couple more years, I'd have been working for him, technically.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah,
Speaker B: I, you know, they did the change of command ceremony or after the change of command ceremony for, you know, when he took over 12th Air Force, he was, he had come to. He was going to come to Beale for some reason. And I saw that in the papers, and I almost went out there to see him.
Speaker A: Yeah, they change. They change, I want to say, every two or four years. And then like my commander will be leaving here in a few months. He won't be leaving, he'll just be stepping down and a new commander will be in his seat.
Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's pretty much about a two year deal when they take those positions
Speaker A: down. The commanders. Yeah, the general. I don't know how long that is, but I know that we, we changed generals quite a bit for the base.
Speaker B: Yeah, I don't recall. I think that was probably his last command before he. Before he retired. And I forget where 12th Air Force is stationed, but. Yeah. Wow. With all the fog down in the river bottoms, it almost looks like with a casual glance that it's flooded down there.
Speaker A: Yeah. Between that and. It kind of reminds me of, you know, flying through the clouds.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: Well, I noticed the reservoirs are. Well, they're not full to the top, but they're fairly full. I think they said that Oroville, which is at like 70 per cent, 77 or 78% capacity, they consider that full.
Speaker A: Yeah, but we still have plenty of room, so, you know, we don't need to worry about it too much.
Speaker B: I guess we're past the storms that were concerning them, so.
Speaker A: Yay. Yeah. Even though, you know, it. It's not too late to have a few snowstorms, which would be really nice. But, you know, because our. This is just my opinion. Our weather has changed, has moved forward two to three months.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, it certainly is not the same as it was, that's for sure.
Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, we'll live through it. Trust me. I'm not concerned about it. But it's moved. I mean, October used to be cold and we're still in the 90s to triple digits.
Speaker B: Well, listen, I just pulled in at work, so I gotta go in there and see what's not waiting for me to do that seems to be pretty much my story nowadays. I go inside and I sit at that desk for eight hours today and then I leave.
Speaker A: Alrighty. Well, you have some fun and I'm gonna go ahead and get in line and get on base. 73 KK6RSQ clear.
