K6lnk system 36, snow mountain range. I copy a little bit there, Clarence. Everything good? Pretty well. Short lived, clarence, in 60 uk and 60 qm. Oh, I cough for you. Fine, but I think I have some antenna issues going on. I want to fix that. I want to work on that next year anyway. Yeah, it's going fine. It's raining right now. We had a lot of rain, I guess. Tomorrow, Wednesday, more rain and then supposed to get sunny about a week or so. It said mid-60s plus degrees and all sunny, so dry things out. Sure is wet up here, Glenn. Yeah, well, we're having a nice sunny day today. We're not expecting any more rain for at least a week or so, so the weather's a little bit nicer, Clarence. So, anyway, good to hear you on there. Just wanted to wish you a happy New Year and hope you're figuring out. I really haven't done anything with it. Kind of on the back burner. So I don't know. I don't know if I'll ever get on again or not. Maybe stick on uhf, vhf. I don't know. So, anyway, time will tell. Time will tell. Time. Cheers, all my friends. I tell you, no matter what you got, time will take care of it. But, yeah, time takes care of all things eventually. All right, Clarence, I'll let you go. I'm getting ready to leave, so I gotta. Gotta take the wife out. So. Good to hear you out there. You have a good day. Good to hear you. Seven 3s and six PQM. Okay, Richard. Okay, fine. Business. Well, thanks for the call. Enjoy your sunshine down there. Having liquid sunshine here. So anyway, they all load a lorry for me and give the boot just behind the ear and roll it good. So thanks again for the call. You sound like you're doing okay. 7360 UK.

Wow. Chico, Willows, paradise, and a little bit west of their boy getting pounded. Are you around kn6mgk, n6grt? That's me cheating because I'm trying to keep the repeater over the radio over on this repeater and I'm seeing a huge storm with red in it. Definitely flooding type capability, and most of it's a little bit west of Chico, but some of it's right over the top of Chico and Big grg.

Your audio is a little bit low, but you're in there instead of pnd. Lastly, Thank you for the comeback. KC3DSP. I'm on a handheld in the parking garage. Okay, what repeater are you talking on? What frequency are you on? Okay, that's, that's our repeater on Red Mountain, which is above Boulder City. So that would make sense. You're good into it. You can probably see the repeater set somewhere. You're at it's way on the south part of the Valley. Okay. Yeah, take care. Enjoy, enjoy your time in vegas. N7 tmd. The fellow on the handy talky. Double check and make sure that you are on wideband. Sounds like you could be on narrow band. So make sure that your handy talking is on wide band. And hello to you there, Ralph. Hey, Kim. Good afternoon. Yeah, you. I had to. You almost blew my speaker out when you started talking, so. Yeah, I had to. Had to crank the audio way up to hear the other gentleman. Well, let's see, it's 3:45 my time, so you must be on your lunch break. Actually, I'm heading to a meeting. Oh yeah, that's right. You guys, like you don't get that much breaks and bounce around from meeting to meeting wearing your tie. All right, well, you have a safe, safe drive over to your next meeting. I'll be listening here. I'm still around with the other Carla hub. N6 Canadian. All right, tim. Yeah, good luck. M7 tnt. So the pittsburgh station at samtown, this is m7 khj. Do you copy? Other station on, on the Las Vegas network. What type of radio are you running? N6 GRG. N6 go radio. Go. Well, I assume I'm making it into Las Vegas. N6G. Archie. Okay, I don't know if you're calling for me. M17. Yeah, you got a lot of noise on you. Your audio is really, really thin. Very, very tinny. But you're making it through M17, dude. Okay, let me get a comparison from Ken. Ken, is my audio thin and tennis? It's better. It's better than it was on the other system. Okay, I did hear the station that I'm trying to reach come back. I didn't catch his call. But sir, can you come back again? Yeah, this is Rick. N7khj to the guy over at Sam's Town. Is that correct? Yes, Roger, Roger. N7HK. KHJ or K N6TRG. What type of radio are you running? I'm on a Motorola XTL 5000 which is a mobile 110 water. Yeah. So I'm originally from the Keystone State myself. Been out here about 50 years or so. So I don't know if you saw the football game last night, but. Hell of a game. And due to Baltimore's mistakes, the Steelers made it. Oh yeah, that always seems to happen. Well, if you're running a Motorola, then it might be a little bit tougher to change your audio quality and increase the audio. I don't, I don't think that it's that easy without actually being in a programmer. Comment. Radio has been in the truck five years. This is the first complaint I've ever had. Okay, well, maybe just the particular link you're on. Go ahead, Ken. I just wanted to clarify. There were some misunderstandings there, Mike. The GRG station is in Reading. He's not the, he's not the handy talkie at Samtown. Just there's a clarification. Okay, I'm gonna go back to listening. And this is Ken, M6K and E. Go ahead. Go ahead, Mike. And ready? Okay, yeah, great to hear you, Ken. And yeah, I was just trying to reach that station that you thought might be on narrow. If it's, if it's the Motorola station, then not gonna be that easy to do, just change anything. All right, well, I don't think I can do any more harm or good. So how's it going, Ken? Before I leave N60RG, It's still going. I'm just beside myself here with some of the sky one trying to get the alert script to work properly, but had been extremely unsuccessful. So I think I'm just going to shut it off and let skywarn just do it, do its thing, do what it's been doing, which has been. Okay, just can't get the dog on Sky Alert to work properly using the dtmf DTMF commands. Okay, well the other one was pretty decent before, so that wouldn't be the worst thing. By the way, this is our last day of. In fact, our flood warning is over at 4 o' clock our time and I could tell you what that is probably UTC if you wanted, but whether they'll reinstate it or not, I don't know. I see a huge storm down in the Chico area with heavy rain. So you know, they, they may be having some flooding issues down there, although a lot of it's past them, but it's mostly to the west of Chico and it was pretty heavy. Okay, Ken, really good to Talk to you in 6 GRT on link 36. All right? Yeah, I'm not showing any alerts now on the skywarn side of things. The only thing I'm seeing is small craft advisories for the Bay area. Yeah, that storm is kind of going over the Bay Area. Yeah. Right now. Okay, Well, if you look at radar, it's a heavy storm right over Chico right now and west of Chico. And we've had flood warnings, flood alert warnings for the last four days, so. Interesting. Alrighty, I'll let you work on it in 6trt. For my spot here. This is the first clear sky. Well, it's not a clear sky, but it's no rain. First time where we haven't had any rain in the last four days. Area of no rain. So I'm gonna go out and get a breath of fresh air. Let my doggie take a walk. N6GRG.

System21 link off. Pop. Ae 6ft. What's the weather like there in Stockton? It's a little hazy, a little cloudy, but nothing to complain about. Perfect driving weather. How about you? Where are you? At. Soda Springs, the epidonner summit of I80. Just on my way back to San Francisco from Lake Tahoe. And Nice, a couple clouds, quite a few clouds rolling in, but otherwise it's a nice, mostly cloudy little fun. All right, Paul? Yep. We're gonna, we're gonna eventually be up there. My friend and I are at the checkup. I know another few friends and we're all gonna make our way to San Francisco for a bit of a day trip. So San Francisco home for you? Been there for many years now. It's a great place to live in my opinion. I'm from la, so long way from home. I actually haven't been to San Francisco and anywhere you recommend today. What are you looking for? I love spending time in the Mission or Debo Triangle. Lower Haste. It's all a lot of fun. I listen to cast right now and that also has a lot going on. So good time. And yng. All right, we'll have to give those. Have to check those out also, by the way, sorry for not introducing myself. Name here is Josh. Call sign is November 16th. November Golf. Can I get your call again? Call is ae6b. Name is corey. Charlie, oscar, romeo, echo, yankees. Okay, good to see you. Cory. 86 speed, Mystic Yng. So what type of radio are you using right now? I'm driving my friend's car, so I don't have my mobile rig, so I'm just on an ht and sorry if my signal is a little choppy. Should get stronger further north we go. A Kenwood mobile Tango Mic Victor 71 Alpha. I really enjoy this transceiver, especially for mobile operations, but even at home. So it's about 5,0 watts into my vertical mag mount. Oh, nice. Very cool. I also got a 50 watt mobile in my car. Got a, a few different fans, mainly a VHS guy. So yeah, also put about 50 watts, but right now just doing 5 watts into a Motorola APX8000HT. Three. Fine. A little noise, but easily understood. And on this repeater in particular, system 14 seems like it has of a. A bit of a strange tone on every time it keys up, regardless of, you know, on top of the signal being transmitted. But there it goes. Oh yeah, yeah, I hear that television talking. But from what I heard when I was sharing the stance with a lot of military and radar users, wonder probably something that has to do with that, especially considering how far north you are. I know that activity gets stronger the further north you go. That's a possibility. And there's a station with an air. And I'm not sure if maybe they're one of the same, but I know that the CARLA website mentioned. I ran an organization that also had a 70 centimeter repeater in San Francisco. And so we had plenty of discussion about the pen pave laws as well. You know, within San Francisco you're generally okay, you know, isolated from Fairfield because of the ohf, but you know, gotta be careful not to be at the highest summit with too much power. That's unfortunate. So I think 2 meters is probably surprisingly popular for an urban area where you are at. I'd say Both are popular. 70 centimeters. We just limit typically to about 20 miles. You got a lot of power down at 70cm in LA and lots of high mountain tops and everything. So that's a privilege I certainly enjoy. Anyway, Sarah, great to meet you. Cory. Thanks for the chat. Glad to know we've got some communication with the outside world here out in the far northern regions of California that the Angelinos aren't used to. I do think care and have a safe trip back to San Francisco. Pleasure has been mine. I will get back to riding here. Have a great trip. This is N6Y and. Contacts. A great chat with you too. Hope it's an easy drive for you as well. 73ae6b. System 12 link up and 6 MVT and just to clarify, that tone you hear is actually coming from a fan getting into the. You couldn't see to get rid of it, but we needed it to stay on to keep things cooler. So that's what it is. The paved pause is usually popping noise like a popcorn maker or something like that. But you hear anyhow, have a good day and 6 MVT plus attendance.

Station monitoring, do you copy? N6iwh. Over. N6y h, kd6tw here. Yeah, kb6cwl, zf, tangle with kilema in berkeley. Where are you? I'm in Chico. Retired from the Bay Area. Fact, I used to live in Berkeley. 8:40 page down by 6. Berkeley flatland. No, well. Well, actually I'm over here by the Claremont Hotel. And it's just raining, raining, raining. How's the weather up in Chico? Raining, raining, raining, raining, raining. Darn, I thought it might not be raining somewhere in this. In this silly state of ours. Yeah. Hey, nice area up at the Claremont area. Claremont Hotel. Used to go there. I didn't pay for it, but, you know, people would come up and did it. Stay there, swim, eat the food. Yeah, it's a great place to be as far as being in the Bay Area. It's kind of crowded and expensive these days. But I'm not complaining too much other than about the weather. You know, before you complain about that, my old car was KV6ADP. I got my call at Cal Berkeley, the Watch 6 bouncing boomerang. You got your ticket around, what, 80, 82 later. I'm from Delta 6. I think it was in the late eight. Okay, roger, I got a copy. Do you have any good phonetics like. Hunting wild lima? At the time when I first got my call, there was a crazy going on here on 14529 with a guy named Blake. And he came up with nicknames for everybody. And I think he immediately decided that Django Wispy Lima equated to Totally Wimpy Loser. Hey, that is kind of funny, actually. I. I know Blake. Fascinating if he's still active in the ham community. No, he got out of it years back. In fact, I know the guy who took down his antennas was on Claremont Avenue. Recently passed away, I am. But yeah, Blake had a good signal into 5 2. Now, K7IJ. I mean, he would just kill anybody. Didn't matter. You could sit next to the machine with 30 watts in the car and he was still just walking on you. He was a force of nature. Very bright guy. And he kept it very exciting on 529. I guess a little too exciting for some folks, but I thought he was kind of a kick. Yeah, well, things were different back then for sure. The entertainment factor. I mean, a lot of people getting on fly from ham, imitating voices. I remember Mickey Mouse. I don't think I ever came across that ham. But there were a bunch. There was a community of crazy folks on 529, around. Well, did you ever go to Brennan's? I know Fingers was the fish place. Brennan's was a cross university. Christmas time, everybody would get together. No, I never went to the event. I kind of wanted to. I've been to. I have been to Brennan's a lot of times because I used to work down there as a shipping clerk when I was an undergraduate at uc and we went and had lunch at Brennan's, like, all the time. Turkey, la. Hey, this is not funny. I was just gonna say they have the best Thanksgiving dinner that you can get any time of the year. But turkey, dressing, gravy. Oh. Oh, please. That place is gone now. It's too bad. And then they had just fabulous Irish coffee. Oh, my God, I die for. You know, you're talking to somebody who's never really drank that much. Of course, I've had beer and, you know, wine. I know what it's. What it's about. I've been drunk a few times, but I never really had a taste for alcohol, you know, And I'm in my 70s and people say, oh, gee, you look 50. Well, I don't feel 50. You sound like you're a testament to clean living. I guess. Well, it was for health reasons, you know, yoga, philosophy. I did work out later. A lot of coursework at Cal State Hayward. Athletic training, etc. I was a vegetarian and used to run the track at Contra Costa College. Up and down the bleachers. Now I look back and go, why did I do that? Ah, yeah. So what is it you do up. How long have you been up in Chico and what do you do up there? Well, I stay as busy as possible. I'm trying to trained as an art educator and art acrylic on canvas. I also enjoy dioramas, model making and pop music. Hey, baby, I love you. I hope you love me. Get the idea? So I think so. So, what's your name? I'm Dan. Delta Alpha. November and KV6TWL. Maybe you can give me your name call again. Qualify. November, India Whiskey Hotel. They used to call me idiot with herpes. People somehow remembered that I preferred intelligent, witty ham. Oh, whoopee. Pete or Peter when it's written down. And you know, people tell me I'm a little bit famous for my artwork, but I'm not rich. I don't know if the two go together. You can be famous and not rich. Okay. Okay. Well, we were kind of talking. All right, well, it's great to make your acquaintance piece and fix. I think I'll use the. Not the idiot. Intelligent, witty and happy. Yeah, I called set an ancient. I could do something that has happy in it. See, I'm moving forward two years anyway. Yeah, well, if you're around, give us a shout. You know what? I wake up at night and I look at the HAM radio. I think, oh, hey, that'd be a perfect time. All the grandmas are asleep.

This is kd6, twl clear. Seems like somebody's jamming or something. Talk to you later.
