WD6AXM TX (146.085 MHz) recordings for 2026-03-21

Speaker A: JK6VZD mobile.
Speaker B: Hey, happy Friday, Chris. One week to go, huh?
Speaker A: One week, one week. Not sure whether somebody was doubling with you. There or not, but, uh, yeah, one week. Just thinking about that's going to be really strange. Yeah, I'm not sure if there was another station or not as well.
Speaker B: Uh, it sounded a little odd on my end as well, but anyway, waiting for these two to pass. That's what I get for living on the busiest road. But, uh, happy Friday to you.
Speaker A: Do you live on the east or the west end?
Speaker B: I am on the east end of town, southeast of town. I can, like I said, I can stand on my front porch and I can see the antenna mast on top of the Sutter Buttes from my front porch, so that's pretty cool.
Speaker A: Okay. Oh, line of sight transmission there. W-E-6-A-X. —and repeater.
Speaker B: For the most part, other than these houses and a golf course in the way, but yeah, I kind of lucked out. Didn't think I would ever be a ham, and now I am, and I got a great view of the repeater there. Ever go golfing? Say again?
Speaker A: Since you're that close to the golf course, you ever go golfing?
Speaker B: No, I can't stand golf. It's not for me. I'll leave it at that.
Speaker A: Well, I'm not really a golfer, but I have been golfing, and I've got another retired friend who's a golfer, and I might just start going out with him. And I've never— when I played golf, I never really played it Seriously, you know what I mean? I went out there and I tried my best, but I didn't get all bent out of shape if I had a bad shot.
Speaker B: There you go. I wouldn't mind going to say like Topgolf just to like, I don't know, have some fun with some buddies or whatever. But as far as going to a course, I mean, I've been out on that course, our junior high and high school in the spring for physical education. We'd go out there and, uh, to the driving range, I think, is what we were doing. Then I think we did play a couple rounds. I mean, this is only a 9-hole, so you got to play it and then you got to play it backwards.
Speaker A: Yeah, okay, all right. Yeah, I know it's only 9 holes. I've played that course once and almost, almost clobbered a guy with a drive. He was not yet off of the course, and I was a little bit too quick on the trigger there. And yeah, I was sure that that ball was going to hit him. As it was, I think I missed him by about 10 feet.
Speaker B: That would have been a wake-up call, huh?
Speaker A: Oh yes, oh yes. Yeah, so yeah, I'm going to be— I think I gotta take one guy around and show him a couple of things next week. Other than that, I think I'm gonna be a total, uh, couch potato. It works.
Speaker B: I mean, really, what's the alternative? Are they going to fire you?
Speaker A: Yeah, it's going to be an anticlimactic thing, I think. I'm going to go around and see some people I know, but when it comes time to leave on Friday, I think it's just going to be a step out the door. It's not going to be a big deal. It would be like a Neil Armstrong moment. Yeah, something like that, something like that. So there we go. And then, then I got to think about, okay, now what? I, I've already got the, uh, couple of things in mind. Maybe let me clear out some of my, some of my, uh, well, I've got a technology closet that needs to be cleaned out. I've got my radio closet that needs to be cleaned out. I've got a lot of stuff in my garage that needs to be cleaned out. So I don't know, my wife wants me to scale back on my clothes and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker B: Kelly, tell her not to go too quick because you have the whole retirement to get it done. But then again, it is what it is. I probably could do the same. My wardrobe's pretty much thinned out because I had to get rid of everything. I went from 2X shirts to mediums and pants at least 3, maybe 4 inches off the waist there for the last year and a half, and I finally said I got to get some new clothes, so that's what I did. But the socks still fit from last time.
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, that's pretty impressive. And yes, that must have made quite a hole in your closet when you finally Finally got rid of that stuff.
Speaker B: Yeah, I still have one, I basically have one outfit just as like, hey, that's where you've been. But I tried the pants on the other day and I was like, goodness gracious. And the shirt, that's like a night shirt for someone that likes wearing long night shirts.
Speaker A: Yeah, so not sure I got much to say. I won't be on— well, I might have to. Maybe not get up quite so early in the morning, but still get on at 7 in the morning just so I could talk to people that I'm used to talking with.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's the best part of, uh, I guess, free will. You can do what you want. And, uh, I definitely appreciate, uh, the morning QSOs, even though it slowed down a little bit on my end. But still, it is good to hear someone on there and go from there.
Speaker A: You know, Doug used to be on all the time. Of course, this was actually years ago. He and Grant— Grant lives up in, uh, McCallia. Crap, what's up in McCallia? And so you'd hear them every single day when Grant was on his way to work. They'd have a rag cube going, and I don't know what happened. I think they switched repeaters. I think they started using the repeater up in Butte County.
Speaker B: Okay, yeah, I do recall quite a few times. I can't remember the call sign or the guy's name, but I believe it's a guy that drives from here down to Sacramento area for the railroad or something. He's always got something interesting to say, whether it's about— whether it be about locomotives or ham radio. So I haven't— I don't think I've heard him in a while, or if I did, I just haven't heard Yeah, that's Lester, and depending on his schedule, you'll hear him.
Speaker A: Yeah, KK6SYV. So, oh well. Hey, guess what? I'm destinated. It's another weekend, uh, so I'm gonna drop off, go inside, probably take a nap, and then be up for the Bok Hai parade tomorrow. And then my grandson's first year birthday party, first year, is Sunday. So I got, I got my weekend kind of planned out. So all right, have a great weekend.
