Speaker A: Man, it's quality. Yes, that results on quality. Just make sure there's a C at the end of that name.
Speaker B: The local channel is confirmed.
Speaker A: Someday when you're at a laptop, go to the Carlos System website and just read all that stuff. It'll tell you what those little boot and beeps and things mean and how you can change stuff back and forth and do all sorts of stuff. You have a lot of control over their system. Make sure you know how to use it because otherwise you'll get a talking to like I've had a few times and rightly so.
Speaker B: I will make sure to do that. As far as right now, I think this test is sufficient. I'll meet you back on our Preference. Agreed. Location KO0 or KO6HLB. Clear. Thanks.
Speaker A: Okay. Affirmative. See you back at the funny farm. KO0X going to QXY, over to 146520, clear.

Speaker A: Sam. Sounds pretty good over here in Centennial. NR17. Good evening.
Speaker B: I'm not sure which talk group I think.
Speaker A: Oh yeah, you're a little garbled there. You coming in on maybe BMR or something?
Speaker B: Yeah, I switched this one should be better. Stage 7 access. Good evening.
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, you're better than just over here working the picture tonight. Coming in all star back into making chili tomorrow. Homemade chili for the big game tomorrow afternoon. Have some friends over at the church. What are you doing for the big game? You gonna watch it or no or. Yeah,
Speaker B: I think we're. I think that's the plan. Yeah. Because we've got some food to go along with it that'll be the main attraction. But that's the same thing. Catholic church settle in and see it.
Speaker A: Yeah, I just. The food's really the best part. So we're having decided to do some project American Spare out here. Things like steaks and whatever. We're just having a couple of friends over. A couple single friends and churches over here. My wife and I and my son and a couple dogs. Steak. My friend said they'll pick up some cans of chili.
Speaker B: Oh, that sounds good. Yeah, chewy dogs are good. Especially if you got your homemade secret recipe. See going with it.
Speaker A: Well, I don't know if it's super recipe. I got a couple of. Couple of recipes I use. I have one that I really like that bean. My friend at work, you know, a couple years ago to make fun of man, real chili pestico, real chili but do not have beans. It was. It was with you to eat it with beans. Anyway, I found this recipe, reasonably good recipe that I like online. So it has no beans, garlic stuff. It doesn't use cayenne pepper, you know, especially. So what I have with beans I have is like four different kinds of pepper and chili seeds. This has smoked paprika, different things. But it doesn't have cayenne pepper, chili powder, Onion powder and salt, black pepper, diced tomatoes. This one's got beef sauces. So it's with a crock pot slow cooker. So you know, I made it one before. It's pretty good.
Speaker B: Ah, sounds good. Thanks for my mouth water. So I guess maybe the beans are kind of a good filler. I guess we'd have. I guess you have to use more meat if you don't use the beans, right?
Speaker A: Yeah, I'm thinking so. Because this has double the. Double the meat that the other, the other recipe that you can use cut up pieces of piece of brown like steak and everything and put in there. And some people do that little pieces of steak. Justify it up on your side of me. Those kinds of things. You can do that. But I just use like green ground beef. That works pretty good. Like 97, you know, or you use 90 10. I wouldn't even do much. I would. I don't know. I think like when you make a chili, you make it like patties. I mean the hamburger, eggs. There's no, there's nothing better.
Speaker B: 80, 20
Speaker A: flapped out on a flat top, you know, glowing hot mash burgers. But that I guess maybe just Mashburg ladles with a big thing of mud on chili on it. Now maybe that's. Maybe that's a Super bowl burger. NR 17. The SOL.
Speaker B: And the food every game. Thanks. Thanks for coming back to the call here. This is KG7S73.
Speaker A: All right, take care. 73.

Speaker B: How you doing this morning? Good morning.
Speaker A: Hey, I'm doing really well. I just want to let you all know, for those that do the single sideband on Sunday, I won't be there. I'm still in Oceanside and won't be back until late tonight. I just want to give them a heads up.
Speaker B: All right. I haven't heard anybody on this receiver this morning except for some California folks. If I hear from them, I'll try to pass on your message.
Speaker A: That was great. Thank you. It also gave me an opportunity to check out the ecosystem from where I'm at in these mountains. And it's working pretty good from what I can hear.
Speaker B: I was wondering if you were on echolink because there's a long, long delay after you finish transmitting repeater. Yeah, I was wondering if that's what was happening.
Speaker A: Yeah, I'm sitting atop to some absolutely gorgeous, beautiful mountain top in Oceanside. It's just beautiful out here.
Speaker B: Out there visiting, work, play what's happening.
Speaker A: Yeah, I came out to help some, my fellow Marine, my son get some work accomplished on it. Truck. We had a major job they had to get done in a day's time. So three of us tag teamed it and we got it all done.
Speaker B: All righty then. Plan went as. Procedure went as planned. That's good.
Speaker A: It did. It gave me some time to spend with my son and his submarines and, you know, we just had a great weekend.
Speaker B: The weather out there equally as nice as where we're at.
Speaker A: 71 and Sign Lake Free. Absolutely gorgeous.
Speaker B: Oh, that is nice. We're just at 58 where I'm at. I'm about to. Yeah, that is nice weather. Yeah.
Speaker A: And I got said in the evening time, the wind picks up and it gets cold really quick.
Speaker B: The evenings have been comfortable enough. We had some people over last night for a fire, our first one of 2026. And yeah, it went really well. Temperature was just right, low wind. Everything worked out well.
Speaker A: That's always nice when weather cooperates and you can have a good time.
Speaker B: All right, I'm going to offload my cardboard and recycling here. You have a good day. Have safe travels at home and we'll catch up with you when you get back in town. 89 TRL.
Speaker A: I'm gonna go wake up my young marine. So this is Canine Dag. We are clear and monitoring 73. Is everybody out there? Have a great day.

Speaker A: Kk7DBI is sitting in the man cave playing.
Speaker B: Hey Kim, Good morning or good afternoon or whatever. Yeah, I guess it's a good morning. You going to be watching the game later?
Speaker A: I'll have to ask my wife if she'll let me watch it. She hates football.
Speaker B: Oh, you don't have. You don't have a separate TV in your man cave.
Speaker A: Just for playing, not watching football? I got
Speaker B: another TV in the other I could go watch. I'll probably watch it. What time does it come on? I think 3:30 is when it's supposed to start, so. Yeah, I don't really have a dog in a fight. I might kind of watch it. I'll watch it for the commercials, actually. You can do that on YouTube. You can watch all the commercials on YouTube. Supposed to be some funny ones out there, but. All right, very good. Just leaving the gym. I got to go to my mom's place and get some prep for her. I was going to try to put a VHFPA on my venture to try to fix it today, but I think. I don't think I'm out of time now.
Speaker A: Well, it sounds like you're going to be busy. Y' all probably tune in on
Speaker B: that, watch a little of it, see how it goes if it starts to run away. And if they gonna be a runaway, I probably won't finish watching. I kind of like it when it's a blue game. Yeah. I think for what it's worth, they're saying the Seattle is a favorite, but they're thinking it might be close. But yeah, who the heck knows?
Speaker A: I think the last time the Patriots. Ben, didn't it?
Speaker C: I'm sorry. I
Speaker B: brought my dog on radio off frequency by mistake. What was that?
Speaker A: I think last time the Patriots beat him, didn't they?
Speaker B: I'm not really that big of a football fan, quite honestly. I was raised in Wisconsin, so the packers are in the playoffs. I usually watch just because but I don't really track it that closely. I'm not even sure who won last year or the year before that.
Speaker C: Something to do in the afternoon, I guess.
Speaker B: See how it turns out. I'm just loading a few bullets for Tesla, see if they're any pin or not. Yeah, good deal. Okay. I'm just going through the gates here at my mom's place. I'm gonna see what's going on with her and see what. See what I can get done anyways, hopefully and get out of here and go get that PA done. Lee and I are planning on going up to the rocks next Monday because President's Day, so I'm trying to get some stuff fixed and ready to go before then. Anyways, I'll talk to you later. Thanks for the shout. N17D Las Vegas. Kk7dbi.

Speaker A: Hey, Ralph, how are you doing?
Speaker B: Doing good. What's up in your world?
Speaker A: Trying to set up
Speaker C: broadcastify
Speaker A: off of the Carla admin hub
Speaker C: and I must
Speaker A: have a typo or somewhere today. It's not working.
Speaker B: Looking for.
Speaker A: Looking for the typo.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker C: Okay.
Speaker B: Yeah, I never missed with that. There's a couple of. Couple of groups here in the area that do that every now and again, but it's kind of cool. You gotta. You have to get like a license or something, right? Like. Like some kind of annual subscription or. I'm thinking of something else.
Speaker A: Yeah, premium. 30 bucks a month.
Speaker B: I mean, $30 a year.
Speaker A: Yeah, I already had that. I just received the email back from broadcastifying. They sent me all of the information, But. Yeah, I missed the credentials. They sent me all the credentials. Yeah, it's kind of handy to have, you know,
Speaker B: people can listen to the
Speaker A: caller system via their home Internet.
Speaker B: That's why I run that scanner software at the house. Not all the time, but I run that every now and again. It's nice and nice touch around with it. But anyways, you're gonna watch the game later or jam the dog and play.
Speaker C: Yeah, I gotta.
Speaker A: I gotta find it on Fox Sports or something. I haven't even tried looking for it yet, but I guess I need to do that here pretty quick. I don't think.
Speaker B: Well, I could be lying. I could be lying to you. I don't know who the hell carrying it. I know. I think NBC is doing the Olympics there, obviously. Maybe this.
Speaker A: Well, I'm hoping to find it somewhere.
Speaker B: Okay, I just checked my Gemini thing here. Says it's on NBC, so I guess I was wrong. So whatever your NBC affiliate is, or peacock, whatever, they'll have it.
Speaker A: Okay, that's good to know. Thank you. Is there somebody else trying to come in? We're hearing some kerchunks one in here. What do you have going on?
Speaker B: You talking to me? Yeah. What. What are you up to? What are you doing? Well, went to the church this morning, went to the gym and did my. My weight to work out a little bit of car for about an hour and a half. And then my mom called me and said that she needs yogurt. So I run 45 minutes across town to go buy her a couple of things of yogurt. And now I'm heading back to the house, go grab a shower. And I was going to try to work on a BHFA today, but I'm not sure if I'm going to get to it now. But we'll see that's about it.
Speaker A: Okay. Well, that sounds like a nice quiet date.
Speaker B: I never did have a chance to mess around with those. Those macros to do that. Odd to do that telemetry and the commands for the controllers. Maybe I'll mess with that. Pretty straightforward like I said. Just wish there was a way like on the old controllers, you know, if you do. At least on the linkom controllers and I think the f. I don't know if the fcoms are the same. I know Tom and the guys use fcom. It's been such a long time since I used those. But on a link on. If a site's prefix is 80, all you do is go on any repeater on the network and do a pound eighty and it addresses that site and then you can do whatever code you want and that prevents, you know, if you have a common code to do like a temperature announcement, which we do all the codes in our mountaintops the same. That way you don't have. You don't have 20 mountaintops yelling at you to tell you the time. You know, it's addressed individually. Hard to believe that the All Star dudes haven't done that yet.
Speaker A: Yeah, I'm still working on that whole COP COP command stuff. It's not passing through the. Passing through the All Star nodes like they need to. But I think eventually Tom and Jeff will. Fred maybe will get the porch opened up at the sites that have Supermon or that have All Star nodes.
Speaker B: Then I can go in there and
Speaker A: make those adjustments, pass the TTMF COP commands properly. It appears that each site has to have a copy of the COP command.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, our configuration, as you know, is a lot different. We're not running any L star nodes on the flights from Mount Cops, all RTCNs. The server, the Vulture server is one that has. Runs everything. So I've got it set up. I mean I can enter a macro on any of my repeater sites to, you know, take Carlo offline or take any link off. It goes into control operator mode and then issues a command and then goes back. That works. That works fine. My thing is getting. Getting DTMs, and that's on the mountaintop. My problem is getting DTMs through an all Star node like a clear node or somebody's running a Linux box at their house or what have you and getting that to talk to the server. That's what I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker A: I do know that you have to go to your allstarlink.org account and go
Speaker C: to that server page.
Speaker A: Allow yes or you Know, allow like remote.
Speaker B: I don't remember the verbiage, but it's.
Speaker A: I think it says remote phone. You have to allow that and then allow some other Internet. Some other Internet ordeal. Let me see if I can bring it up.
Speaker B: Yeah, I know what you're talking about. I've already done all that. I've done that on our Vulture server. And both of them, we got two servers that I use. I have a special one set up just for when we support the races and stuff like that so we don't bother the entire network. I just isolate one or two repeaters so they can do their high speed race twice a year. And I talked to one of the all star gurus, Tim, and he's one of the high. Whatever of the big brain guys on. And he even acknowledges. Yeah, that's just. There's just no way to do it unless you're going to build macros or like do those cop commands. Like I said, I was looking for something that was a little more flexible and dynamic.
Speaker A: Okay, very good. You're probably getting close to wherever you need to be, I would imagine.
Speaker B: I'm gonna get back to what I'm
Speaker A: doing here before I forget what I'm doing here. It's beer 30 here. It's 3:30 here, so beer 30 is upon us. And I'm gonna go offer the wife a beer, which is like a champagne type of thing that she loves. And I'm gonna grab myself a Ducati. All right, Ralph. Well, I'll be listening. Good talking to you. And if I get this working, I'll send you a text, let you know.
Speaker B: All right, man. Yeah, enjoy. Enjoy your beer 30. I'm more of a scotch guy, so I got a few hours for that. Yeah, I got about a half hour to go. She's just all the way east side of town. I live all the way in the northwest, so Vegas is quite a traffic challenge these days. All right, take care. M7T ending.
Speaker C: 7 TNB84LB. How's it going, Ralph?
Speaker B: Larry, good afternoon. Afternoon. We're here. I think I'm okay. Okay. Run some errands. Did some stuff today and trying to get back to the house and deciding if I'm gonna do some radio stuff or not. Anyway, how you doing out there? I'm doing good.
Speaker C: The weather's gotten warmer. That's a plus. I thought this was a DX weekend or some kind of contest weekend, but I haven't heard anybody on a contest, so that's all I've been doing besides going through all my music on my
Speaker A: phone,
Speaker C: getting a playlist together when I do my exercises. So that's pretty much it. And I heard you say you said you were headed back home, so nothing like going out running some errands on Sunday.
Speaker B: Yeah, I. I went to the gym, did my workout and had to run to the grocery store and get some stuff for my mom and take it over to her, so I have to head back home. So anyways, yeah, very good. Yeah, I'm not aware of any kind of a contest. I haven't really been looking. To be honest with you. I was. Haven't been on. HM that much lately, which is kind of a shame with the conditions being as good they are as. As they are. What kind of. I don't know if I. If I. I asked you and I forgot, but what do you. What do you got there as far as the tenants go for hf or do you have CC and RS and restrictions or can you pretty much do what you want?
Speaker C: I do pretty much what I want. I've got a Buckmaster 6 through 40 and I have 0543 foot vertical. And we have two acres here. The daughter, son in law and four grandkids live on one acre, you know, one part of it and we live on the other part. So their house is first, ours is second. And then behind us is where my antennas are and we're surrounded by a cat. You know, it's not a real big ranch. You get the smell of the cows and all that kind of stuff.
Speaker B: I've never smelled them.
Speaker C: They grow hay all year round or whenever they can, so it's really nice. But every time I turn a radio on, I have a 0 to f1 noise level that's as high as it.
Speaker B: Yep.
Speaker C: So I'm happy about that.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: Once you mentioned the Buckmaster, I remember you telling me about. Yeah, that, that's. That.
Speaker A: That's.
Speaker B: I hate you, man.
Speaker A: I mean, that is.
Speaker B: That is phenomenal. Zero to S1. Yeah.
Speaker C: Yeah.
Speaker B: Here it's nuts. I mean, 75 meters at night it's S9, S8, S9 sometimes worse than, you know, 20, 20 meters depending on the time of day. It's like S5 to S. It's totally different. I remember a couple years ago, several years ago, a friend of mine lived up in Michigan in the UP and he's got. His backyard is literally right on the lakefront. And I took an IC7100 up there and I threw a wire up in a tree and turned it on. On 80 meters and it was like, that's zero, right? S1, maybe 20 meters. Was like, nothing. I'm like, crap, what is wrong? I'm sitting there trying to troubleshoot what's wrong with the antenna or looking around. I'm like. Then I went ahead and keyed it up and checked SWR and it was flat. I'm like, oh, my God. There's just no noise up here.
Speaker C: Yeah, it's amazing.
Speaker B: 890.
Speaker C: And every once in a while I need help with it. So I called this friend of mine, Northern California in 6 WIP, and we do FaceTime. And he's always saying, zero noise level. I hate you. You know, we. Sometimes I push the wrong button. I don't know where I am. But it's a nice radio. It's just unbelievable, the noise level. Sometimes I feel like the way you did, you know, it's just so quiet, thinking, oh my gosh, there's nothing out there. Then you turn around and bam, there's these signals just popping all over the place. I love it out here for radio reasons. And just being in a small town, takes us five minutes to go to downtown. And that's pretty much everything you want there. You know, there's a Walmart, there's some grocery stores, but we easily go to a different grocery store, Gunnersville. It's about 10 miles. It's like a Raley's, but it's called
Speaker B: Public.
Speaker C: That it's called. And I'm wondering if they're related or same company owns it. N7TND84LB.
Speaker B: That's great, Larry. I remember you told me you're not too far from Huntsville either. I think you said about a half hour or so. Buddy of mine, it works. Senior vice president for Scientific Research Corp. He's out of Huntsville. He was visiting last week. We talked about a couple of projects they're working on, had a nice dinner, got caught up on a few things.
Speaker C: And he was.
Speaker B: He loves it out there. He lived there for. Oh, geez, what are you telling me? 20, 30 years or so. And he goes there between a lot there between Huntsville and Atlanta. I guess one of their other offices is in Atlanta. Most of the time he spent in Huntsville. And that's just general area around Redstone
Speaker C: Arsenal and all that.
Speaker B: And loves it. I've been there several times, done business, and it's always been really, really pleasant. Traffic gets a little crazy every now and again for any larger metropolitan area. But I like the countryside. And people are so friendly, too.
Speaker C: Yeah, they are. Yeah. Hutsville can get a little crazy as far as traffic, but once you get on the south side of the bridge, the Tennessee river, it flows up and we don't have a lot of traffic here in Narap. But, you know, whenever you come out, just shoot me an email and maybe we can get together and get a bite or something like that if you have time. So, you know, that, that would be nice because I haven't seen you in, gosh, 20 years.
Speaker B: They're better. Yeah, I would guess that's probably right.
Speaker C: Not more.
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, no, I'll definitely do that.
Speaker B: Man, I'm not sure when I'm going to be out there again. I've got a. I had a design review. I was supposed to be out there
Speaker A: for the end of April, but it's
Speaker B: getting pushed to the right. But I know I'm going to be out there at least once or twice
Speaker C: this year and I'll.
Speaker B: I will definitely make time. Even if I just go ahead and spend my trip another night.
Speaker C: It's no big deal.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker C: Yeah, that would be nice. We'll get together and hang out and catch up.
Speaker B: So. Alrighty.
Speaker C: Well, I'll let you go and you mosey on home. It's good talking to you as always. 84 LD
Speaker B: yeah, same back at you, Larry. Always a pleasure hearing from you. Glad you're doing well.

November 7th. Delta Romeo Yankee monitoring in Mesquite, Nevada.

Fred. No, link. Pop.

N7 dry. N5 ea. N7 dry. You must have got it working. Yeah, it took a little bit of maneuvering around to try to figure it out. Yeah, seems to be working just fine. Now I have to get my HT program. I can sit outside in the lawn chair in the shade. Use it. Roger. Dad, what's going on with the truck that you got to have it in the shop? It developed a warning for low coolant light on the dash. But the coolant is at the proper level and doesn't overheat. I think it's some sort of sensor. Did a little bit of reading on it and I guess there's is like a float system or something in the tank that can come apart and causes the stay on. Okay. Yeah. Better get that fixed. Are you seeing a Vegas dealer or is there one in Peruvian? There's a performance diesel performance shop here that in Pahrump that Rob went to have his truck work done because his turbo went out. It actually went out before his trip and he went to a shop in address where he was stating at the time they talked him into putting a modulator system 32 link mod. It's the electronic device that operates the turbocharger from the vanes. It's a variable vane turbo. So anyway that device. So they changed that out and it worked for a while. Then it quit again. By the time he got to Corona he found this shop and they did a full tune up on his truck and let's just say they reduced some weight and replaced the turbo. And now he's getting better my race better performance. I don't know if I'll go that route but at least get this flight over. Well that's good. You got a shop that at least has a few references or at least one somebody that you know. Yeah. I guess I was thinking maybe the truck was under warranty but that's obviously not the case. You've had that for a while now. So where are you guys going? To watch the game. You're just gonna. They're in the trailer? Yeah, actually a little bit. I'm right now fixing some trim on the truck or working on it. I don't want to do it. It's pretty hot up on that roof of the truck. Let me find some shade here. But anyway, I guess that's 3:30 or so. 3:00 clock about an hour. I'm outside in the shade working on the trim. I gotta peel up all this double sided tape out of it, clean it with denatured alcohol. I've already Got the truck channel clean and I bought some 3M trim tape that I've got to cut to match. So I got quite a job ahead of me. Want to get it done today though, because I have to have the truck over to that shop by 10. However, this truck is under extended warranty. They haven't explored that yet, but have to see what the diagnosis is. And then I'll have to explore the extended warranty that I bought which goes to over 100,000 miles in seven years. We're rapidly approaching that hundred thousand mile mark. Well, I guess that was a good investment. Yeah, lots can go wrong on new rigs like that. So. Well, keep in touch as you're in the area. You saw my note about my system or the possibility of it anyway. And we'll figure something out on your way, way down or your way back or whatever. Yeah, actually we do plan to make of your way on the way back. I don't know. Haven't quite figured out what our next step is. We do have the gf so we're going to do a little bit of riding. If they have to keep the truck from all tomorrow, we've got this space till Wednesday with a possible extension to Friday if we have to. It took Rob over a week to get his truck done. But they were in a campground, a BLM camp. So they added that spot for, I guess, something like that. They only stayed until they got the truck done. And then they went down to a park, an RV resort on Lake Tabasoo, North. It's on the California side, north of Parker Dam. I'm not sure we want to go down there. We do, we do, but we haven't quite made that decision. Well, it's a good time to go before it gets too hot. This next week looks to be cool. In fact, I think it's gonna rain on Wednesday or Thursday. I gotta run over to St. George on Wednesday, but no big deal. I'm sure it'll get nice after that. So. Yeah, just keep in touch if you want to try your handy later. Just send me a note or something. I'll throw the antenna out on the patio for my other radio. Okay, I'll let you know. Yeah, I'm gonna get busy on this other project and I'll touch base with you. N7DRI. N5E.AA will be 73 on your final okie dokie. My baa. N7GRY and I'm going to go start getting ready for the game. I.
