Los angeles link up. K6lnk system 36, snow mountain range.

Speaker A: Ready. Link up. That should have been the link up on system 25.
Speaker B: There's actually system 20 test in. Thanks. BRG. Going out to beat the critters. N6trg.
Speaker A: And testing on
Speaker B: 36. Just in case my test on 20 didn't go through. And 60 GRG.
Speaker A: N6 mike, victor, tango or
Speaker B: any of the other characters down there. N6grg.
Speaker A: Okay, this is trg going out to feed
Speaker B: critters n60prg. Clear.

Los Angeles link up.

Speaker B: foxtrot monitoring.

Kn 6 mgk mobile in chico.

Well, I wonder if anyone runs JS8 call in Japan. That might be kind of fun to try to get some contacts in Japan on 40 meters and leave some messages for them. I'm gonna have to give that a try. Good evening, everybody. Sun's coming down, Chico. 65 degrees and a nice day. KN6MG squared. It. Got something really scratchy. Not making the repeater. Unfortunately, it's unintelligible. Yep. Obviously something portable. I heard portable. So I heard.

Speaker A: Okay. N6grt on local. Still around, steve. Kn6mgk. N6grt on a local.
Speaker B: Oh yeah, just pulling up to the destination there, but yep, I hear you now loud and clear.
Speaker A: What a late cup of tea?
Speaker B: No, just pulling in home actually.
Speaker A: Yeah, it wouldn't quite get on. It's supposed to be a 10 watt portable, you know, they never are.
Speaker B: Well, you used to have decent antennas that got in.
Speaker A: Oh, I do. It's just that some of the things I was doing I can't do now, but I'll get it all going again. Anyway. Yeah, I was trying a 10 watt portable direct and it didn't quite make it.
Speaker B: Yeah, nice. Well, anyway, I just pulled in but got myself a little bit wet having to water things and stuff like that today. Everything's all dried out.
Speaker A: Yeah, I was just. That's what I was doing when I was talking to you was filling up a water jug. And right now I'm using rainwater for the sheep and rainwater for the garden. So taking it out of one of those big tanks.
Speaker B: Yeah. Around the house here, I'm doing that, but not up there. So I need to do work on something like that to gather at least some. I do have a couple of drums there, but never, never did anything to get them ready to collect some water. Maybe I can have some time to mess with that on Friday, but no time today. That'd be pretty cool if I could catch some of that rain that's coming.
Speaker A: Yeah. I use this tank regardless of whether it's rain water or not. Because if I'm running it into a system where I don't want high pressure, I fill up the tank and shut the high pressure water off and then I use it out of the big tank, which is low pressure. So it's really a cool way to go. And less leakage and less hassles that way.
Speaker B: Yeah, you should go through less. Less though, these days, huh? You have less animals.
Speaker A: I got 15.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, you had 23 or something like that.
Speaker A: Yeah, and a lot of those were big eaters. I just had some. In fact, I'm gonna have. Well, I have some cooked lamb meat that I could have or I have this chicken that I did. I did a chicken. Like absolutely incredible how it turned out. It was. Basically it was smoked because it's one of those old hippie stoves from the old days called the earth stone stove. And they're more like an oven, like a wood fired oven than a wood stove. They're kind of across, halfway in between.
Speaker B: Yeah, that sounds good. Both do. So any of your ewes showing that they might be having their lambs soon?
Speaker A: I figure it's all going to happen in March and because I got my new RAM and it's five months from when I got got my new ram, so it'll be March. I'll probably, probably have more this time than I've ever had before. But I got my, my Mint running in the laptop.
Speaker B: Okay, how's that going?
Speaker A: Really well. It didn't have any JS8 or anything, but I'm gonna put a version. I was talking to the guy that gave me the Mint USB stick with Mint on it and because he just loves Mint and he wanted, that's what he wanted to do. So it's running great and he says that I should put JS8 version 2.3 on there. Not the new improved one 2.4, but 2.3. So that's what's going on there.
Speaker B: Okay. Yeah. Anyway, that should be interesting once you get that going and then you're gonna hook that up to the Icon 7300 and have a go.
Speaker A: Yeah, and you know, he said that, that the CAM4HDK system should work on this Mint. Have you heard anything about that?
Speaker B: No, I haven't, but it's possible. I mean, it depends on all the repositories and dependencies all match. So it probably would be a better question for Cam4 Ack, since he wrote the scripts and everything. And I remember it, you know, I remember it being on like Debian Bullseye. So it might have had more Debian based programs, but some of them cross over to Ubuntu anyway. And that's what Mint is based off of is Ubuntu. I think you said 22. So I'm pretty sure that's the long term support version. So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's more based upon the abunta.
Speaker A: Well, it would be a script, a script problem, not a JSA call problem or a WSJX column problem. It's going to be a script problem if there is one.
Speaker B: But I think I still have a
Speaker A: direct connection to him because I've got, I'm a patriot patron, Patreon they call it, so I can ask him questions.
Speaker B: Yeah, no, you won't have any trouble with JSAs or WSJTX because you know they have those for Linux and Mint, so no problem. I gave you that one laptop with Mint on at that time, but it was probably an older version version like maybe 18 or something like that. You know, I don't remember back then, but I haven't been running Mint for quite a while now. But I liked it a lot. It was a full fledged operating system. It did a lot of things and more than any Windows machine ever did for me. I mean, so many things that came with it. And of course there was a software, software resources part of the menu. You just hit it and you could put it in the search window, anything you were looking for. It could be games, it could be like Stellarium. You've probably heard of Stellarium, like for sky watching, you know, it tells you where the stars are and stuff like that. All kinds of programs like that. You just couldn't get with Windows without having to pay.
Speaker A: Well, I'm reading what, what he says at the. Go back and read what he said because it's not coming up. I'm at GitHub. Well, it's reading off of GitHub 73 Linux and it says 73 Linux is the next evolution of Build a Pie. Not only does 73 support Raspberry PI, but also supports 8,664 Debian based systems. But what I'm wondering is if I can get away with downloading. I'll have to talk to them, but if I can get away with downloading everything. But. Whatever this Linux is actually that supposedly supports the Raspberry PI. I don't know what it is.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's why on his directions on Build a PI and stuff, it was like, you know, you install a Debian operating system first and then you go to GitHub and you, you know, put in the scripts from the terminal window and that essentially loads in everything that he has that he's written for Debian. So yeah, I don't think you can put 73 Linux over the top of Mint, because Mint, I believe is a Ubuntu based operating system. So. But yeah, you can do a lot of those programs that he's doing, like PAT and all those that they have versions for for Ubuntu. You just have to go and get those through the repositories. So an extra step because he's already put all those things together, all the dependencies and stuff in one spot on GitHub. So you just hit a button and he's even put in some special interfaces to make things easy and you can see him and all that stuff. But anyway, yeah, it's just one of those Linux things. It's all possible, but yeah, it's a learning curve. Can6MGK.
Speaker A: Well, see, I Had that system for the PI and it's so cool. It just does it all and it uses the menu and everything just works great. I had everything working, including FL dis. I mean and it wasn't a regular fldigi. It had the parts of FL digi that make it so you can send large documents, you know, the larger documents, formatted documents and the formatted mail, emails and winlink and all that had it all. So yeah, if I can get that going again, I'll be a happy camper and it'll probably be happening on this, this particular laptop. In fact, I ran all the SDRs on it this morning in Linux and it worked.
Speaker B: Kn6MGK. Yeah, well you know, if you, if you already have Linux Mint running, then that means that you most likely have a little mini SD card writer and reader in that machine. I'm just guessing then you should be able to easily now you don't have to deal with like on Windows, like what's that called? The Bleacher or whatever they call that. Etcher. Etcher is what it is. But anyway, I mean you can, you know, download Raspbian direct, put it right on that card and put it and you know, everything you need, Debian and everything and just slide that little card right into the Raspberry PI and go to GitHub and get it. You could probably have that done and well, it depends on how fast your Internet is but you know, within a couple hours you could have that install button back on your Raspberry PI 400, whatever it is. It's a lot easier when you already have a Linux system to do that.
Speaker A: Yeah, and that would probably be the way that I would use 73 Linux. I would download the whole system using groups IO km4ack
Speaker B: stuff. And
Speaker A: so yeah, that'll be what I'll do for the PI 400. I do want to make that thing do all this stuff. I mean it was awesome and so I'm gonna make it happen. But the only reason I'm using mint is because KL7R insisted on giving me Mint. So that's why I'm kind of trying to find out what it'll do and if it'll do any of this stuff. I know I can run, you know, Linux and I mean I can run JSA call and FT8 and all the other things with that system. But I was kind of thinking it'd be cool to use km4ack very much menu wise system. But you're right, he is not, he is not saying it will work with. Ubuntu type programs, Linux types of Linux. It won't. It's not saying it'll do that. He's saying it'll run with other things.
Speaker B: Right? Yeah, just kind of forked off, you know, on Linux, you know, did Debian's kind of one and Ubuntu is the other. Of course they all started like with Unix and all that stuff. But anyway they kind of went their separate directions and in a lot of ways Debian is not as used, I would say. So therefore like it becomes harder to hack, you know, not that Ubuntu is easy to hack, but anyway, a lot more people run stuff like Linux Mint because it's such a good operating system anyway. So I think that's part of the reason why some people focus on Debian is because especially they have a little tactical flair and it does require a little bit more computer savviness, I would say, than something like Linux Mint does. But you know, to each his own I would say. But anyway, that's cool. Yeah, you're edging closer to having some workable systems there. So I'll be excited to hear on Linux mips, they should have a spot on the menu for software sources. You just click on that and in the search area put JS8 and it pops up. I already have a version ready to just hit install, just like an app, you know, just like an app on your phone. So but it'll be whatever version that they put in there. So if, if, if it's, if it's not the 2.3 or whatever, then honestly just do something different, right? Like go to JS8 or whatever, however you get that version and then you'll have to install it with any dependencies it requires. So pick up one of the more difficult versus the Mint software sources of the repositories already have a version already set to go. So I like to use those when I can. But it may not have all the features that you're looking for. KN6MGK
Speaker A: well, believe it or not, look up through the different things that came up from Google. Here's one called Linux Mint forum and the question at the forum is hello everyone and blah blah blah. And I used a bunch of OS's for years, blah blah blah. I wanted to point out a resource Jason KM4HTK access tools build and install. Now it's 73 Linux. So I'm expecting these guys to. Somebody's hopefully gonna say well it doesn't work on Mint or it does or blah blah blah.
Speaker B: Sound probably a good source to check out. Yeah because I wouldn't be surprised if someone hasn't tried it. You know like that temporarily online guy Steve, he's pretty smart with Linux stuff so I wouldn't be surprised that you know people, we do all these experiments and things like that so we try things even though we don't know if they're going to work or not. A lot of times they know how to get around things and get back to where they were. But a guy like me knows enough just to get in trouble and end up bricking something. So anyway, I'm gonna head on inside. Nice chatting.
Speaker A: 73kn6MGK yeah, if I've still got my connection to to him to K4HDK direct through the Patreon thing, I'm gonna ask him direct because this is going on with a bunch of BS that has nothing to do with the question. N60RG US.

Speaker A: Are you still around, steve? N6grg?
Speaker B: Well, I'm on my house unit, but I'm gonna have to go in just a few minutes. Yeah, but I'm around.
Speaker A: He just came for ack. Just told me it's gonna take three or four hours to install this. But it's been stuffed. The whole package.
Speaker B: Yeah, I believe him. Yep. It can be so. But it's a lot of stuff, believe me. If you had to install each one of those things that he has in there individually, it would take you a couple hours for each one. He made it simplified.
Speaker A: Well, do you have a second? He's got the list on here. I'm supposed to select what I want. So what is rdos?
Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. I think some of that has to do with some of the old digital modes. Right. I don't. I'd be remiss in telling you what all those things are if we went through one by one because I don't know what. What they are in a lot of cases either, so. But some of those things like PAT are used for wind length, you know, and maybe even rdop. It might have been an older boat or something. I don't know. Yeah.
Speaker A: Well, I think I'll go ahead and take a lot of these. I know I want a lot of the FL digy suite that I had before, so I want that. That was just so awesome. I don't think I'll use flrig but. Garum. Never heard of it. I don't know, maybe I should get pe6sls on. He was advising everybody at that git but one of the groups who was advising everybody at that that forum I could talk to you about. He was advising a bunch of things there. I was kind of surprised. I could tell it was interesting because he spells his name J A Y E.
Speaker B: Yeah. And some of those things are YAESU specific. Like I think YAK was like a deal that's used like with APRs. And I've never messed with it. I know some of it has to do with like that KISS system.
Speaker A: What's it called?
Speaker B: Keeping Simple Stupid or something. I don't know. That's why I'll be interested when ICOMS comes out with. With their new radio to see how people are using that anyway. But I've never messed with it. But you know how we don't have a enabled. A fully enabled TNC in YAESU stuff. So anyway, some of the stuff that he has on there, like Dire Wolf and all these are things that help Access that using software. So some of it's pretty cool. But I never. So you could spend the rest of your life probably learning all the different modes and stuff that he has and packages in there. Some of them are simple, like a dipole, dipole calculator. Some of them are pretty simple. But other ones are full fledged programs. Yeah.
Speaker A: Okay, start giving me errors. I don't know why it's doing this. It's almost like it's trying to start up Windley. He went to a grid square from me. I don't know. Yeah, sounds like I'm gonna have to be sitting here to make all this work. I can't go away because it's going to keep asking questions.
Speaker B: Well, it's gonna ask you questions for a little time period. Yeah, because it's. That's why he's simplified it. He's making it so that like if, like my grid Square is Charlie Mike, 99 Bravo, Romeo. So if you put that in there, well, it, the spots where it's needed, it already automatically inserts them in there for you. So that stuff comes up just like really probably the really most important thing is any like WI fi, the name and the password thing. If it asks that anywhere, that's going to be really important. So anyway. But yeah, that's why because it'll put your call sign in there and stuff on that little, that thing that populates on the right hand side. I forget that's part of the graphical interface it has. It has your call sign on it and grids and like if you go to Grid Tracker, another one that a lot of people use, they'll already have that information pre filled out for you.
Speaker A: Well, no, he's asking this for the sudo. He's asking for the sudo password. I've never put one into this system. I don't think it has one. So what do you think? Should I put anything there?
Speaker B: Well, have you installed it on the laptop? You would have had to. You would have had to put a password in there at some point, like to get on. So that's what it might ask you.
Speaker A: I'm installing it now and I've never used the password on this machine, so I don't know what it's gonna do. If I just click through this. It says it's required though.
Speaker B: Okay. I don't know what you're. I guess I don't know what you're doing. So if you're on your laptop or whatever. Yeah, you installed, I'm guessing you install on the hard drive of the laptop, Linux Mint. Right. You would have had to put in a password for that.
Speaker A: Nope, it just ran without it. It ran. Everything ran. I never have put a password in and everything I've done is without a password.
Speaker B: Yeah, and it's installed. So you, you know, you know, you, you pull out the drive and it's gone. You don't need to drive for anything else. You know, the little however you, the program. In other words, you're not running it live on the, on the USB drive, Right. You're, you've actually installed it, right?
Speaker A: Well, I haven't installed it because I, if I do that, it makes the entire window system go away. So I thought, well, it's a 32 gigabyte USB, so it's got enough memory to run everything as it is, but it's running Mint without a password. It's never asked for a password. And I don't know what to think about this.
Speaker B: Yeah. So that's why it's not going to work. Yeah, I mean, you have to. I guess I can't say you have to do something because I don't know, maybe there is some work around. I don't know. I'm not smart enough to know. But when you're running a bootable drive like you're running, it's a whole lot different, you know, than, you know, what Cam4 Ack generally had on this stuff was you take that live bootable drive and you install it on the hard drive. Now you could do a dual boot system, whatever, and then, so that, and when you install, install it on your hard drive, it's going to ask you a lot of stuff. The system, not Cam Port HDK's, but it'll ask you stuff like are you in Los Angeles, are you whatever, blah blah, blah, and WI FI information. It'll ask you for how you want to partition your hard drive and what password you want and so on. And that's where the sudo password comes in. Super User do. That's what that stands for anyway. And so you'll have to select that, you know, you'll call it like whatever name you're going to call the machine and everything.
Speaker A: So.
Speaker B: Yeah, and the whole WI FI stuff's got to be put in there and stuff at the same time. So. Yeah, I don't know, I don't want to try to over the radio try to help you with this because I think, I think we're, we just end up screwing something up.
Speaker A: Well, I'm going to install the Thin73 Linux system onto the 32 gigabyte USB and see what happens. And if that works then I'll have a system that runs that system entirely from the usb. This like you used to do but it will be the ham stuff entirely from the usb. So that means I can take any one of these mini computers or anything like that and just instantaneously run the whole KM4HDK system on it. But if you're right, it's not going to work. We'll see. It's continuing, continuing to install everything. So we'll see.
Speaker B: Yeah, well that might work. I don't know. That would be pretty cool. I mean with one exception and you get all that information on there it will, you know, when you go to, you know, you take it out of your Windows machine. Of course your Windows machine just, just goes back to being Windows machine. When you go back to using it again you have to rehaug, you know, get the boot from that again and have it installed. So it takes a lot of time. Right. But not, I mean I say a lot of time for me because a lot of times, I mean like right now if I hit on, on my computer it'll be ready to go in about 30 seconds. Right. Instead of being like, you know, many minutes. Many, many minutes. So I don't know but it would be cool to have something like a bootable drive. That's what I liked about Novix, you know, talked about doing that is I was able to go ahead and like you know, go to any computer. So it would be pretty cool to go to anyone's computer and boot from it and operate your stuff and then pull it out and leave. That would be pretty cool. You could probably sell them. Yeah. If you could figure it out. All right. I was just called away so I need to go. I'll be interested in what you discover. I'll say 73 listen to your final KN6MDK.
Speaker A: Yeah, if it works then that's pretty good information. If it doesn't work then I'm just going to do the install of Mint right onto this machine because I won't miss Windows on this machine. This is one machine I will not miss it on. I have my, I have two or three other much better Windows machines that I can run although one enter. Well, one interesting thing happened. I don't want to talk about to you about that later. Anyway, have a good dinner or whatever is going on. Massage or a, you know, a stargaze session or whatever you're going to do. N6GRG calculator.

Speaker B: Yeah, I gotcha. I don't think anybody was. Was talking. Did you hear anybody? I think I heard one key up. Didn't think there was any Q. So it was going on.
Speaker A: Yeah, we'll stand by here a second. Just confirming there was no one else on the channel.
Speaker B: Yeah, see what you find on that. I would have some time to do around with it but I don't. Not today anyway. I've been messing around a little bit with Whisper Steve over there and Tracy asked me about using the FTX1 on whisper so I couldn't mess with that get it set up and that's pretty cool. I need to play with it some more. It's somewhat working. I need to get to some more adjusting on the sound card levels of radio but it's pretty
Speaker A: interesting. So do you send out like information like you call Simon, you look on
Speaker B: the webpage or something, see which station?
Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. And then.
Speaker B: Then your station sits there and listens for a certain amount of time and then it uploads to a website every all the stations that you heard as.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's kind of interesting. That'd be fun to play with. So there's certain frequencies?
Speaker B: Yeah, it seems to be all preset of the software. Each band has a certain frequency that they use for it.
Speaker C: Sa. Yeah, if you're trying to get in
Speaker B: Eric, you're not making it there. Just getting a couple of key ups. That's you,
Speaker C: Wsx, rpa.
Speaker B: I'll be listening
Speaker A: here for a few more minutes anyway.
Speaker B: Yeah, there might be something going on with the link or something. Maybe this want to work a little better.
Speaker A: Yeah, I hear you're just fine now so just switch computers. Okay. Yeah, it seems like my receipt coming in from you kind of bouncing in and out but I can make out what you're saying.
Speaker B: Can you hit Pleasanton direct? Are you on your base station?
Speaker A: What's the system number? I believe it's 12. Okay, stand by. Let me check.

Speaker A: Yeah, it doesn't appear I can, but it seems to be working pretty good right now. Whereabouts are you?
Speaker B: See, I'm in Dublin, so I don't have much further anyway. But, yeah, if you're around tonight when I. When I head home, I have a DMR radio with me. We can try that tonight.
Speaker C: Yeah, I should be around if I am. Yeah. Got the DMR radio right here, ready to go, so we can play with that. I don't think I have a adapter to
Speaker B: connect it to the outside antenna, so just have to work it off the stock antenna. But usually works pretty good going through the Livermore Valley there.
Speaker C: Yeah, that'll work. So, yeah, when those links are
Speaker A: down, kind of. It was nice having the lab and the site linked
Speaker C: up. Yeah, it goes down every now and then. Another repeater,
Speaker B: that usually works pretty good. I haven't used it in a long time. Is that 3.5 repeaters in Livermore? I think it's up in Morgan Territory or something. And that usually works pretty good on both sides of the hill. Especially if you're on the base antenna.
Speaker C: Yeah, we'll have to play with that one, too. Yeah, portables might be a little rough, but they on the base now. Are you going into work today, or. You'll have. Maybe just a couple hours. I might go in and work on some programming with one of the guys. Do they have some radio
Speaker B: guys over there, too, or are you doing it all on your own?
Speaker C: They've got a couple young guys.
Speaker A: What's up?
Speaker B: Yeah, I gotta remember to let the link come up. They don't have any faulty old guys over there doing it.
Speaker A: The one guy moved to Tennessee, he retired. He's about my age. He retired, moved on out. They had a deputy chief. He wasn't doing any hard programming or anything, managing the system. He retired too, so they kind of ended up with nobody. Kind of one of the reasons I
Speaker C: got hired. Oh, okay. Well, nice if
Speaker B: there's some young guys interested in doing it and carrying it on. Anyway, I was pulling off the freeway here, so I'll get out of here, let the link go and start driving on the surface of the streets here. So I'll talk to you later. I'll let you know when I leave tonight. If you're around, we can mess around again. If not. So I'll catch some other time.
Speaker C: All right, sounds good.

N6kne and six knee from n6mct out there, Mr. Kenny.

One more time for n6kne from n6mvt. And 6m. All right, I went to high power here because I think I'm in a bad spot. And who is that? I didn't quite copy him. Yes, and who is it that I am speaking to? Over. This is Clarence up north here. I'm on system 25. My name is Clarence. November 6th Delta Uniform Kilo Twin. Hello, Clarence. Delta Uniform Kilo. I think it was maybe. Okay, yeah, there's some. I got noise on my signal here and there's some buzzing that's coming from up there, which I think is from the broadcast stuff. So, you know, the aggregate of it all doesn't. Isn't making for the clearest of communications. Unfortunately. Mike gave me a heads up on that. But where, where are you mobile? Oh, currently I am on Interstate 580 going through Castro Valley or up and over the grade. I'm going to drop down into Pleasanton and let you know where any of that is back to you. But the place you mentioned doesn't ring a bell. All right, well, I don't know how the traffic is, but sometimes you get hectic during 580. Let you go. Anyway, you're making it now. You're just, you know, with the noise. So. Anyway, have a good day, Tom. Good here you. It's been a while. Okay, you do the same. It's a nice day out there today. All right, talk to you later. N6MZT. What was the shade? It's probably 75 and there's no wind and anyway. All right, have a good one. Thomas 60, UK 73. I think that power supply pose was on his end. Either unit. System, please link up. I think you were asking about the buzz. Yeah, I think it's. It's something new that we've inherited up there on the receive. And you know, the antennas may be full of snow or there may be snow down on the ground and high reflection or something and you know, doing weird stuff is what I'm thinking. Yeah, that's always something. Yeah, it's like painting the Golden Gate Bridge, right? Get me finished or you got to go back and start over again. Yeah, no kidding, man. Well, talk about job security. I guess until they come up with something new that you know will last forever or start having drones do it or robots or some combination. I don't think it's too far off. Yeah. Remember when they told the toll takers don't worry about. Oh yeah, like my mom told me they said when it was open, you Know, it was only going to be. I don't know what it was back then, 25 cents or something like that. I forget. And you know. No, we'll never raise the rate. Yeah, I remember my dad throwing a quarter in the chute, but Golden Gate, I think was 75 cents or something like that. Yeah. All right, I'm going down the other side. I'm gonna have to switch over and kind of be in a little limbo state here. So I think, you know. And 6 MBT. Yep. By then I'll be back at the. Back at the office. So I'm gonna go finish up my HAZMAT training and download my certificate and I'm good. Hey, I'll be working on Bruno tomorrow, so I'll be making noise from up there. So I think, you know. All right, see ya. W JKV not so mobile. Wait. Well, I still got your attention here. You notice that every now and then when you unkey on 19, that sometimes you hear. Which sounds like intermod. It's not intermod, it's CO channel. I remember this same channel. I was up on San Benito when Len Fringle had it. I was running around in carrier squawks here the other day and heard a conversation coming out of Fresno. So occasionally some of their moles tickle the input to this one, which is kind of surprising. But. Yeah. Bonito. 5,280ft in the air, man. You ever been up there? It's due west of Frederick. I used to work out from Santa Cruz and a couple spots up on 2e. Yeah, great site. Lynn Pringle had his supercise remote up there. Yeah, I know the site, but I don't think I've ever been there. And I want to see what kind of. Maybe there's something gnarly about getting up there or something about it. It was gnarly. I forget. That thing sticks out for sure when you. When you it and you hear something there. That's actually, I believe the coming from the full duplex link. Because there's a full duplex link there northbound and southbound and you know, and that could be in the next hub and that's a full duplex link. So I think that's what you're hearing. We're talking about the same thing. System 12 link up. Yeah, but if that were the case, it would do it all the time, right? Or at least 50% of the time. No, this is not very often. Maybe once, twice an hour. It depends. And then when it does that and put it in Charge of squalls on my mobile here and loosen it up and listen. And sure enough, there's another machine out there, out there in the valley that's making a noise. I talked to the guy that was at one time he took it over from Lynn after he had passed. Okay, I can't. What the hell frequency you were using up there? Something like 325 ending in 325. Or my smoking thing, not the one that's still stuck on Volmer. When, when he did the magic switch, he took my 750 box and moved it to back out and took his three two five off of back. I put it in my spot on Volmer and it was co load with Bill Hudson who was running like, you know, 200 watts there already at the same, you know, in the building next door. That's when. That's when things were real ugly. But you know, you know some of the story. Yep. All the kind of stories you tell your grandkids and you're sitting around the fire, you know. Right. Sonny's having a nice cold 807 or something, huh? Jesus. All right, I'm here. See ya. WB6JTB is definitely, finally totally cleared until I go inside and grab the hd. Oh, God. All right, that's a threat. Don't forget it. All right. Stuck in the traffic going towards, you know, eastbound or. Yeah, eastbound and all that stuff. And 6 MVT, He's not on this one anymore. He had to switch over to 12. So he won't hear you, you're unknow.
