GEARS E RX (146.250 MHz) recordings for 2025-11-26

Good evening. This is k6jb greg in north chico. No traffic for the net this evening. Thanks for being there. I'm in and out tonight.

K6mgk. Yes, I will.

Okay, well, thanks, Larry. Yeah, for doing the net, I mean, Lester, I apologize. Lester, thank you for doing the net. And thank you for what you do in the communities over there, especially at this time of year where I'm sure a lot of people are fairly thankful of having some holiday food. So in any case, thank you for that as well. And yes to Larry. Maybe he could give an idea as to what the exchange will be for this weekend's contest. Sounds like I won't be able to do much poda. I guess because of that I'm thinking to go out at some point in time. But they will clog up all the frequencies. I'll have to. Maybe I'll have to move over to 17 meters or something like that. That's what I could do. So I'll need to be prepared for that, I suppose. And in that vein, one thing I did the other day was over here at the park I put up my 20 meter version.

Vertical real fast. And it was real slow goings at first. But the first two stations I got on cw, the first one was from Russia, and the second one was from France, so I thought that was pretty good. And then it was real slow. All I think I got was I got my 10 in just barely before I had to leave. But mostly it all seemed to be west coast one in Nebraska, I guess. But for the most part, that was it. And the last thing I'll talk about is meshtastic. Been playing with that today. I ended up putting it up on my outside antenna, which is a discone antenna, and on medium fast. I did get, so far, seven other nodes responding, so. And some of them, one says W6CX and it's named Diablo. So I did look up that call sign, and it shows up to be.

Like the Mount Diablo Amateur Radium Group, so that's interesting. If that's the case, it does show up being like five or six hops away, so makes some sense. But I really haven't gotten any communication yet from anybody on the mesh out there, so something I'm working on. It'd be neat if others in the club would be interested in that type of thing, but we still seem to be talking about SWR and Wolfang radios, so I don't know, but things like this are kind of fun, even the thought of doing some other projects like that aprs balloon and things like that, but doesn't seem to be too much interest in those things, so. Well, I'll catch you all later. I want everyone to have a happy Thanksgiving and we'll see you thereafter. Kilo Nov 6 Mike Golf Kilo, back to you.

Eight, check in on wrong.
