2m Simplex (146.520 MHz) recordings for 2026-01-08

And 6 NTM looks like 34 degrees. And they're saying 33 by tomorrow. The start of yet another beautiful day as we head into sunny days. Oh, yeah. Let it dry out. Good morning. And 6 NTM.

Speaker A: Pretty quiet out here this morning. And six mtm.
Speaker B: Yeah, we do, too. And I don't have my tablet, so I can't. I can't see what my temperature is
Speaker A: out here. That's what the Weather Channel said, too,
Speaker B: but you don't get white stuff on the deck at 34.

Speaker A: Well when it goes crunch that's enough to make you fall on your butt. Well Steve
Speaker B: MBV was back in Seattle somewhere up there anyway this morning not that place he's got in the top of Oregon or Seattle whatever it is and and I called him last night at 10 o' clock at night thinking it was about almost his bedtime and when he's over there in Yugoslavia or Bangladesh wherever the heck he went vacation and I forget but anyway and I didn't get no call back last night and Terry was telling me the other day or maybe it was it was John that's right down in Arizona was telling me that he thought he was coming back today but that would have been yesterday when he told me that so anyway I left a voice message last night and one this morning if he'd call me and I haven't gotten nothing back so something's askew there when it comes to the who invited
Speaker A: meet in 97. Same thing 9597 that's them moving.

I didn't want to ask him on the radio because Joe's the one that started that controversy. I said it, he talked to Steve. Steve denied it, Denied that he invited me, that I ought to come to 97 and listen to a great bunch of guys, blah, blah, this and that. I remember the conversation distinctly. It wasn't the first time, it was the second time that I was talking to them on 3900 and Steve came there and I said something about, hey, I get up at 4:00 in the morning, so I'm on there. And Steve said, well, if you're up at 4 o', clock, you ought to come listen on 97. A great bunch of guys. So I went and listened over six months and probably closer to a year, maybe eight months, I don't know. And, and it took a while before I started keying up there because I was trying to recognize some of the people. So, you know, you can act like you're paying attention at. You don't need an invite. But what I was trying to cut short was Joe and Bill both thought that I wasn't 97 qualified. Not that you need any qualification, but you know what I'm talking about, that I, that I didn't fit in. When in Rome, do as the Roman do, Romans do. Yeah. So after those two had said something I, you know, about their dislike toward my end, I, I said, well, I guess we'll just see. I guess if more than half of the people out here really would rather not hear me, then I won't bother them. And that's when I said something about I wouldn't even be here if it wasn't for Steve's invite. So I thought to myself, well, I'm not going to put everybody on the spot about whether they want to hear me or not. And that's when I said something about, well, Steve invited me, so I'll just get with Steve, we'll see what his take is on it all. That way you guys don't have to be fronted off with casting a vote on that topic. And I haven't got no comeback from Steve. Called him over a week ago, but, you know, he's on vacation in another country, so I could understand it. Too busy, whatever. But he should have called me by now this morning because I've made two. Sent one text message and one phone call saying, well, when you get a chance, now I know you're back here stateside. I guess there's like six hours difference the day before, so you can't if you Call them during our daylight hours for the most part. That's when they're in bed. So. But anyway, yeah, I'm a little. I'm a little. No response is really all I need to know. But I'll give it a little more time. He's a busy guy. Yeah, yeah, Joe's let it be known as. Well, let me, let me think about that one for a second. Somebody told Bill this morning that he was a downer. Anyway, negative, negative. So, yeah, but I've always noticed that about him. Anything that you bring up in the news or anything, he's always takes the negative side about it. So yeah, he's just like that. That's his personalities. He also has a whole bunch of good attributes to add to the frequency. So. And he is my elder. So not only that, but he's been out here a whole lot longer. 40 years. 35. 40 years. So you know, based on all those things, he commands a certain level of respect without asking for it in my book. Yeah, I talked to him way early this morning about 4:30. I had bumped my dial and I was. And I was off frequency by 300 cases and I heard him and I looked down, it was off frequency and I twisted back on the frequency and said my call sign and he repeated my call sign back to me and that was the end of the conversation. So anyway, hey, I had a pop noise this morning like the back of my chair hit the radio table and then I smelled electronics. The amp continued to put out a thousand watts. But when I stood up and went in the other room and smelled that electronics now I thought, well, I better shut that off since it was still putting out power. I really didn't know. It could have been my 12 volt power supply that made the noise. But it's doing pretty good right now at 14.2 volts. So I don't think it was that. So I shut that down. Everybody was hearing me loud and clear with 100 watts. So my impressive antenna.

Check. Well, if you want some show and tell, I got this soldering iron iron over here. I don't know how much them guys solder, but for people that have the shakes from time to time, this one here is easy to stop it because you can rest your hand. It's like more like a pencil. Electric with the temperature control. Sorry about that, I left the dog out, but I heard you. Yep, temperature control. And you push the button when you want it to heat up and it's damn near instantaneous. It is an isolated chip but it's DC so you wouldn't have to worry about that anyway. So you could, you can solder chips without fear of blowing them up due to the soldering gun. Electricity. And here's the positive side. Even though it comes with a sponge kit built onto the standard, when you take your finger off the button when you're done soldering, it just goes, drops temperature. No juice being applied to it. So you know your tip stays nice much longer. There they have a three point contact and you, you slip the tip in, you loosen up this little knob on the top. Like a Dremel tool. Exactly like a Dremel tool. And you slide this thing in and it drops down and then it drops down again. So there's two contacts inside there. That whole screw in tip thing. Anything that threads in with something that heats up and cools off. And heats up and cools off. Always degradate. It's the same as a Weller pistol style. It's got two of those. You put the two pieces of the tip in there and then you tighten those up. Pretty soon those don't screw in and out very good. I've had mine almost 30 years. Still works, but it's getting pretty gouged so I don't care for that. This other deal, like a Dremel, it's some type of a non melting, non burning Bakelite maybe. I'm not sure what it is, but it, it's not Bakelite, but it's something like that. It cinches down on it. Like when you're tightening up a drill bit chuck it squeezes it all the way around up, oh maybe a half an inch above those. The contacts that I was describing to you.

Yeah, well, it was great way back in the 20s and 30s for isolation, but it wouldn't work on a Dremel style, which is the best description for how this grabs the tip. Yeah. Yeah. So I haven't seen anybody using Bakelite for a long time that I noticed that that's what it was.

Steve just texted me right now, said that he would give me a call today. See it sometimes it's better just to wait instead of push it. Yeah, I don't feel like going down there to eat Jay. But like I said about the show and tell thing. Yeah, if you want to do that you'll have to stop by on the way over. I. I gotta go to Chico sometime today and I'm. I'm. I'm trying to come up with excuses not to. I just like to have my tablet back and then I got a whole fistful supplements down there that I should pick up too. I'm going to try to put it off until Monday but I mean Saturday, Friday maybe. Yep. I've been already made about five trips in the last three days with them. Not the propane still at 315 but yeah I did see it. I can still get it cheaper at Maverick in Orville and if I go to the casino just a little bit cheaper than that. So I filled up my truck yesterday off that pony tank or whatever you want to call that other tank and there's still a half a tank in that tank. So I'll wait until I need to fill up both tanks but then I'll go down there and hit the casino or Maverick one. One or one or the other. That's pretty darn good. I think it was 260 at Maverick up there in Winnemucca. That's why I filled up last. That's both. Both my tanks were full of that price of fuel. You don't worry about burning fuel at them price. I got a picture on my phone 4 days ago or 5 days ago Lori sent me a picture of a gas station at 7:24 I think or 28 in LA days ago and I saw, I asked him when I was in Northgate Petroleum couple of days ago and he said get it now because we're about ready to undergo the big high price there that not it won't never be as high as la but that's where we're headed. And even better news Jay Trump just sent I can't remember and I just seen it this morning but a huge they, they are investigating him from top to bottom Newscomb for fraud. So not only the, not only the homeless situation but his mismanagement of money but our entire California money situation is getting a fine tooth comb. So we'll see something they already speculated from what they already know that it's higher than Minnesota. The other. Well that's kind of obvious ain't it. But, but the other thing is 22 states refused to give their welfare, EBT and, and health care documentation. What, what how many people they're supporting and if they don't, if they don't though, then they're going to get subpoenaed just like they already have been telling Waltz to set a date. They have to do that first. They have to give them a chance to come in willingly to prove but their allegations are wrong and he hasn't even got back to him. So I think they have another eight days, seven days then they can subpoena if he doesn't come on that he's getting picked up. So I know government moose, snail pace but you could understand it. And right now the courts are pretty backed up with stuff. So there's, that's why they, that's why they have those time. So that they can have enough room to let people off the freeways, so to speak.

Well, he was actually indicted and started to prosecute him here. And he ran back to Mexico, Maduro, and he was in Guantanamo for a very short period of time. And it's a typical democratic move for them to say that we don't have any right, that that guy is guilty of murder on down on down. He controls most of the drug cartels there and, you know, Venezuela. And of course he's involved with the oil as well, which he shouldn't be. I watched a good part of news today that we. We used to get oil from them. In fact, it was us down there putting oil wells in way back in the 60s. Otherwise they wouldn't even have surveyed or did oil prior to that. So, yeah, do, do do. We. We had the first big oil contract with them in. In return we got excellent prices doing the survey and providing the. What do you want to call it, what we know about setting up oil wells, right down to delivering them oil wells themselves because they don't have no place down there where they can build steel oil mills. Pumps. Mills. Oh, brother. I've been in Logan too long. But anyways, yeah, we're gonna see that. The money from the ships that we've acquired. You know, they found a Russian tanker. It was actually a Venezuelan tanker painted to look like a Russian tanker that they got sanction takeaways. So that's pretty funny. Just to show you how tied they are to Russia.

When we were down there, I can't remember if it was Cabo San Lucas or the other Mexican place that we vacationed in the last two years. We seen a Russian ship in the port right there at the, it was, it, it was docked along the land. I don't, I couldn't see if there was, that was a marina. Obviously you wouldn't take a ship into a mar. But we did walk along the beach till we hit the marina down there and that was a big ship. And guess what they were building a five star hotel. Russia building on Mexico. Five star motel. That's what that ship was doing there. When you got cartels that could snuff her anytime they wanted to you, you could see why she might go along the president. But Rodriguez is controlling it right now and they'll make, they'll do their own, they'll do their own voting there on to see who's going to run the country. Maduro actually lost the last election. Okay. And he refused to step down. That was only a few months ago, if that so he, he isn't even, and isn't supposed to be controlling anything. They were trying to say, the Democrats are trying to say, hey, he has the right to bail. You really think they're going to let him out of jail? Oh, no. Trump will step right in there, believe me. First they have to gather intelligence so they can see what group's doing it. They'll put a stop to that. Trump's announced. If you're killing people for reasons like that, religious, if your little cult of people's killing people for their own gain, we'll, we'll step in and stop it doesn't matter where it's at in the world. Of course that obviously you're not going to screw around with Russia too much on that. But if they started killing Christians, they would get sanctioned and, and tariffed beyond belief. Trump's not going to be led into another war no matter what they do. He's not going to start a war unless they, they're actually shooting at us. Then we'll, then we'll f a f. Oh, you know, that's just the way love is. We can hurt him in other ways without putting American boots on the ground and losing American lives. He's pretty against that. Not to say, Jay, that they don't have boots on the ground in El Salvador, Venezuela and any of that because that's how we get, seek information. But we have satellites that we can keep an eye on any place on the planet. So we gather our best Intelligence, just like that. So they. They know when a boat, one of them speedboats leaves Venezuela, Salvador or whatever. They. They can actually watch them being loaded. So they know when there's drugs on there. They'd have to go way out of the way to put things on a boat that weren't drugs, but make it look like drugs so they can say, no, this is all perfectly innocent. And they blew us and killed us up, our people, you know, that's the setup. So they got people right there, right at the docks keeping an eye on stuff. We have boots on the ground, but. But not. Not like troops or anything like that. If you watch the President's Daily Brief TDB I watch it daily. He'll keep you up to date on exactly what's going on anytime anything comes down. He was a CIA guy for over 20 years. And a lot of his friends, close contacts, are still doing that job job. So he gets inside information and he clears it all with the state. You know, the president's people there to make sure that that isn't something that they don't want. It might jeopardize something that's about ready to go down. So believe me, he is getting okayed. If you've never watched Mike Baker on the President's Dad Daily Brief PDP B. You might watch that once a week or whatever. I'm subscribed to it, so I watch one every day. All right. I know you're getting anxious, and it's getting close for you too. So anyway, N6 NTM standing by. Gonna go turn the news back on and waiting to hear from Steve. All right, enjoy. Say hi to the fellas. Yeah, I might. Yes. I gotta go to the bank. All I gotta do is call them. I'm gonna try to stay up here on the Hill today. Good morning, N6NGM.

Well, good morning. Been pretty quiet out here. Put my call out again. Kilo, November 6th. Mike, golf. Kilo. Any mobile stations? Anybody out there at all? Anyone listening? Kn6, mgk.
