2m Simplex (146.520 MHz) recordings for 2026-01-16

Anybody on the air know if Jim's gonna show up? This is W6JS. Is he okay, or. What happened? He just. Alarm clock didn't go off.

Well, at least I know my antenna is working and my radio is still good. I was wondering. Didn't get no. Nothing. Feedback or Nothing. This is Tom, W6JS.

Well, this is tom w, 6js. A little cold in my hamshack. I don't have any heat or air conditioning in here, so it's cold. I'm going to call it. Call it quits and I'll give Jim a call maybe tomorrow and see what happens. This is Tom W, 6Js. We're clear.

104 I agree with you 100%. Being 78, I'm right there behind you. So I'm surprised. Everything that's going on, I can't say I'm against it because it isn't our people in this country that pull this off. It's foreigners. And that. That's. I don't know. This is Tom W. 6Js no political.

Speaker A: Did someone call out? I don't know. I thought I heard something. Kn6mgk. Flam chico. Okay, yeah, that's very possible. I don't know. Yep. But you're out here, that's what counts. You sound real good. Been having some fun with some meshtastic stuff lately. I've been really getting stuff going up around paradise and stuff. Well, it's a lot less civic to you when you start figuring things out, but yeah, no, you need other. Other stuff. I got about 140 miles today on it. You're going to have plenty of issues just trying to run 1.2 gigahertz. Everybody I know, like the guys from paradise and Magalia, at least three guys up there, there's Clarence in courting. All of them said that it really just wasn't worth much for them. End of it. Kn6mtk. I'm not hearing you. No, I didn't. My phone's in the other room, so. Yeah, no, whatever you said didn't go through. Maybe you took your finger off the pickle. Oh, yeah. There was no carrier, no sound, nothing. Anyway, I was talking about 1.2 GHz. It's enough of that, I guess. But on the, on the mesh stuff, at least around here in Chico and stuff, we do have the search and rescue group and they put stuff around, so. But Chico still is quite a ways away from having really a good mesh and I would say paradise and at least the lower part of Magalia is not too far away. Maybe a half a dozen more nodes around. Yeah, I think we're going to build a couple more. I think we're up to like 17 or 18 now. That was this first around. Yeah, well, I don't see him on any mode, so. I mean, we have three maps we look at now and there's nothing over there in the west side that I could see in the mountains. It would be appearing on Long Fast on the maps, if he had the settings right. It's not on the maps. Maybe he doesn't want it to be on the maps and that's fine too. But still, then we'd be able to see it from the notes and I mean, I could go over there and change my mode to Long Fast. I mean, we've done that in Magalia, by the way. Just on the last weekend we changed over to. I didn't. A couple of guys changed over to Long Fast for a while to test it out, so. And they didn't see anything. Yeah, we seem to be having about two meetings A week, Wednesdays and Fridays, Pretty big hunt. Talk for hours about it. So I don't know, coffee a couple times a week and stuff like that. So it's been an ongoing thing for a month. And you will rack your brain, that's for sure. The apps, they're different for Apple than they are for Android and so on. I mean, the settings have to be just right. I'd like to know what Unity has too, because right now we're having the best success with the Heltech. The Heltech V4s, they almost put out one watt, so like somewhere around 800 milliwatts. So versus, like I put one of these solar seed nodes up on my roof and I think they're only putting out like say 140 milliwatt. Yeah. Rockland doesn't mean anything. That's the company. Right. So they didn't make it. It's the, the node, the development board inside. But I'll look it up. It's just a little to go. It's just probably just. What do you call it? ES32 or whatever. One of those. Just like my little T deck. Not T deck, my. My T beam or whatever. Esp32 chip or something. And yeah, they're not. They're. They tend to be a little bit more efficient. And I've already told you about those little antennas. They're not very good, as you can imagine. You can buy the ones from Amazon that are 20 bucks for two of them. They're way better.
Speaker B: On many levels.
Speaker A: Oh yeah? Yeah. Well, anyway, that, that unit, I, I see based on what we've been doing now, that would be like your personal node. You know, you carry it around with you. You'd have it inside your house, stuff like that. Right. So then like, say you'd have another one probably a little higher powered, like the Hill Tech or something that you would put, you know, a little bit above your roof line, you know, and that way there, the one from inside talks to the one from outside and it puts the information outside and so forth. So that would be the way to operate that if you have higher expectations than you when you're with, you know, you need to be in an area that's got a good amount of mesh. So where I was today, I could see that someone went up Highway 70, you know, about 24 hours ago. So sometime last evening. And when they did, they, they put out their beacon or whatever you want to call it, just like aprs. It made the map so I could see where they were.
Speaker B: Yeah. Absolutely. We have hams. Right. One of them doesn't use a computer.
Speaker A: Yeah. This is not. It doesn't have to be ham. There's some up in paradise. You know, I would say there's probably four to six nodes out right now for people who are not ham radio operators. They don't put their call. There's no call sign associated with it. It doesn't have to be. You could use like an avatar or you could use one. A person looks like they have a picture of a cookie that's their node.
Speaker B: There's just not that many tech minded people in this town, apparently. You know, it's just not. There's nothing like that. There's none near me. And even when I was hitting them, the only one I could hit. I don't know why I can't hit them. Oh, and when Boyd had his repeater gone, then I could get stuff a little bit, but now I can't get anything.
Speaker A: Yeah, well, to give you an idea as to what my one the roof will do sometimes is I. I could take a walk towards Raley's from my house and about the backside of Raley's. I get it. But if I go much further towards the estimate, forget about it.
Speaker B: Yeah, I can believe that. That gives you about half the three quarters of a mile range.
Speaker A: Right? That's it. So that tells you how many more. I mean, the search and rescue building on the other side of town is the main one. Trying to tie everything together and it's tough. And they did stick another one over on Whitney hall and told and I think I saw it come up on the map one time, so. But there's another mobile guy who runs around sometimes. I think he lives kind of close to me. And when he pulls into his house for the night, I have great coverage all the time. But when he's gone in the morning, forget about it.
Speaker B: Yeah, interesting. Then there's a. There's also repeater for sheriff over there where that satellite TV place used to be there off of East Avenue along the railroad track. I wonder if SAR put anything there.
Speaker A: Well, nothing that shows up for sure. There's Chris said, you know, he lives pretty close. He and I can communicate via those nodes no problem usually. But there's another Chris here in town. He lives off of West 11th, so it's across the channel from me. I can't get in direct, but if I go down to the end of my street, then I can get him direct sometimes. So that's the difference. That's only like say I'M gonna call that 75 yards.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's like a football field, right?
Speaker A: Yeah, exactly. So, yeah, it's way better than it was a couple years ago when I first bought the first. No, but, yeah, it's got a ways to go. And we're getting it down up around paradise, at least, and getting down into where I've been able to have a conversation via texting to one of the people in paradise for two days now, back and forth, and I've been able to get out to the Bay Area and even Nevada, I think, from my Chico node as long as that other guy, like I said, from far is here, where he, you know, it hops from mine to his to the Search and rescue building, and they're tied in to the bay. To the bay, what they call the Bay mesh. So there's a whole bunch of people out there. There's one guy in Redwood City that I gotten twice now, so. Interesting. And when you sit over there by the Chico Mall, you're in a really good spot, by the way, because we're getting all kind of traffic in the morning when I go and have a cup of coffee there by Panera. So a lot of traffic coming into there on there on the mesh. So kind of what's. What's happening with that? Anyway, it's in progress, but still more work needs to be done. Kansix mgk.
Speaker B: All right, well, sounds like you're making headway with it, that's for sure. You had your luck making content.
Speaker A: Yes, a couple times now. Once from my house, but multiple hops. And today when I was sitting up there off of Highway 70, I was direct to him in El Dorado Hills. So I was making a pretty good long contact from that spot right to his right to his node and getting acknowledgement back. So. So yeah, I've been getting some success in that regard, but gets to be in the right spot. So that's. That's all I've got about that, by the way. Nothing. Nothing in, you know, in, like, say, if you go to. I think Anderson, I'm only seeing one and a few and a couple in Reading, and that's it. So there's not a whole lot going up north.
Speaker B: Yeah. Even the repeaters up and ready since the one guy moved to Nevada, you know, the repeaters up there, the activity on them dropped off to almost nothing.
Speaker A: Yeah. And, you know, for your area there, if you guys do want to make the mesh, the mesh definitely need to have a lot of contacts around, but I think you do have Some, you have some strategic hire locations. Like maybe there's a tower that you know, of kind of downtown. There might be a water tower in another spot. If you can get. I've been sitting over there at Rolling Hills Casino and they're kind of up above Interstate 5. If someone can be friendly with them or the golf course somewhere out there maybe be a good spot. You have to get quite a few of these nodes all around.
Speaker B: Yeah, we need one on the pole at the firehouse, right?
Speaker A: Yeah, that'd be like the first spot. And it needs to be one that puts out like 1 watt or near it, like the Heltechs do or something. And so I think that's the next step we're going to do is build, is build a little solar node. We're not subscribed right now. We've been buying the little seed nodes and they're about 115 bucks. But they only put out like 150 milliwatts. And we put a better antenna on them and they do better, but there's still nothing like putting out. You know how it is when you have, you have 100 watts and it's like someone's putting out 25 watts and you're putting out 100.
Speaker B: Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I know.
Speaker A: Yeah. So yeah, if you can, if you're only going to put out, you know, 150 milliwatts and then you could have spent, you know, say, you know, $25 more, $50 more, and put, and put out one watt, then that's what you should do.
Speaker B: Kind of like me blasting you with 100 watts right now.
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. So you get, you get the point there. But it's not all about how much money you spend, but sometimes the build itself, they're kind of fun to tinker with, but the apps are nuts. Run off your phone or whatever and you might have to reboot your phone, reboot the device, you know, take communicate again. So that gets frustrating.
Speaker B: Yeah, it sounds a little frustrating.
Speaker A: Yeah. Now one thing that I saw today, and this is interesting why it's still a developing thing, so you might be limited to text, but today someone put out, you know, and most people that have these devices have smartphones, obviously. So what happens is you can put out a mesh text, you know, basically, but they put in a video, a YouTube video link in there. And so right when you look at it, you know, it says, check this out, and gives you a description and then you can click on it and bam, it goes right on your phone and opens up, say YouTube and then the video goes along with whatever it was that they were saying or whatever. So think about that. Like you're in a location somewhere, there's a bunch of protesters and you got mainstream media telling you that they're all peaceful and you can sit there and make a little quick video. This is your peaceful protest. And there'll be fires going behind you and stuff like that. So you can post it on the mesh. So it's not nothing to do with cell towers and all that. And people will open that up and see that the mainstream media is all bs, you know.
Speaker B: Absolutely. Did you see the video that KMRD put out on the Yay C tuner?
Speaker A: No, I didn't watch it. Yeah, I mean I looked at the tuner and I go, that looks like an old thing. So I didn't watch it yet. I usually watch all of his videos. I come back around to it, so it sounds like one I need to watch. Yeah, a tuner wouldn't even tune anything
Speaker B: but 80 meters on a Pac Tenno.
Speaker A: Interesting. Well, I think it was like something FP80, so maybe that's why.
Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know. But he said that's a terrible tuner then today. I see. But it's for members only and I hate when they do that, make you buy and pay to be a member when I already pay for YouTube. I'm not going to pay. But you know, he put one out today showing him testing other tuners with it and they were all better than it.
Speaker A: Yeah, sometimes those member only ones, you know, a few days or a week later come out. You know, I think km4ack does it right. Because he might put them out like on Patreon. Right. And then, you know, a couple days later they come out on YouTube. Something like that.
Speaker B: Yeah, but I don't on YouTube and not being able to have access when I pay like $13 a month for premium YouTube, I'm not gonna pay anymore.
Speaker A: Yeah, I don't pay for premium YouTube and I get hit with commercials about every five minutes at times.
Speaker B: Yeah, I can't handle them. It adds too much time to the videos as it is. I don'. Have time to watch them as it is. So yeah, it's just real, real interesting. But yeah, that's a video you need to watch. He had some pretty harsh words for ya too.
Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. Well, is the FT80 a new tuner for something? I don't recall that one.
Speaker B: For that new Charming radio they rushed to market this year. That HF radio.
Speaker A: Okay. Okay. And that's an FT80 it looked like a big honking thing so they're expecting you to take that out in the field with you?
Speaker B: Anything that's a powerful tuner well, there's
Speaker A: another YAESU tuner that that people buy for the 891 that only tune like 3 to 1 or better I got a kick out of that when I was reading all that and people talking about it and the gentleman in Mineral, he got suckered into buying 891 with that special YAESU tuner.

Speaker A: And I don't have the heart to tell them that, hey, you know, don't listen to those salespeople. You gotta look that stuff up. I wouldn't buy that tuner for nothing. Not for three to one. That's nuts. Maybe they'll do four to one.
Speaker B: You would have been better off by an mcdx10.
Speaker A: Yep. Yeah, no, he was talking the whole time about buying the 710. 710. All the time. I kept. I even sent him emails with specials where I see one selling for 900 bucks on Main trading and stuff like that. But no, he went and went there and bought a brand new one from I don't know where, n radio outlet, I think probably or Giga Parts or whatever. So I don't know. But somehow he ended up with that. Now, the size, the modular size is fine, like your 7100, the size. So I think that's, that's why he was going for it. But I mean it. Well, you know, they don't have as good a filters and stuff like that. Yeah, at least it has a. It has a sound card in it. So he'd have to get one of them digi rigs too. There's another 100 bucks, probably 110 now.
Speaker B: Somewhere in there. The 71.
Speaker A: So. Hey, well, I got you. I'll have to go in just a couple minutes here, but are we gonna make it out to Black Butte to kind of scout out the spot where you want to go or do you care or is it not one of the things that you're. You're doing right now? You're not involved in that. You're just going to show up on the day of if you're going to go.
Speaker B: Well, at this point, I intend to go at least for a while. Michael there yesterday and looked at the site and he thinks it's a good site and I guess they're gonna take the trail.
Speaker A: Okay, so he's picked the site already out there. Did he tell you if it was by the restroom or is it further down or what?
Speaker B: Well, the site I had mapped is down the old house site. The restroom might be better.
Speaker A: Yeah, well, the restroom area is better actually, when, you know, there's that big oak tree to the right. Maybe it's a thousand yards or could be a quarter, maybe an eighth of a mile or a quarter mile down further. But it opens up into a nice big open area. So now is that great? Well, it's good for hf. I know because I've done that. But it isn't good for wind or some other factors. But there's that one tree. That's it.
Speaker B: That's what he said. There's only one tree there. The other comment I made to him when I kind of picked that area, I didn't anticipate the weather being this good. And that's a pretty heavily traveled equestrian area.
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, not so bad right there. But we had that trouble the last time I was there. Boy, one of those, you know, good thing it had the right rider on it. He was a big old Mexican and man, he could ride a horse because that horse was bucking him all over the place. And he must have come within six feet of us. And I'm not even exaggerating it. Buck around and he'd have to pull up on the reins right there and be like 20 horses going by. But we were deeper in. They weren't on that big. I think they were taking the. Their big, big horse trailers down that gravel road. But yeah, they. They were. I don't know what you call it, but taking them out of the trailers and riding deeper into where like we had already gone.
Speaker B: I just making a comment that, you know, it was nice.
Speaker A: Pretty. Yep. Well, anyway, so yeah, where I was, you could pull over and have a spot, but you definitely can't clog up that road. People got to be able to go by and it can get dusty. Not that it will be then because it might be a little wet and stuff, so. But the biggest problem is going to be is how many transmitters and that type of thing. Right. So the antennas, I was usually just hand fed halfway when I was going right to that tree. That tree was the other part of it.
Speaker B: Yeah, I can believe that. Yeah, I understand and I understand what you're talking about. But you know, that's kind of out from the no fee area and all that. That's what makes it life.
Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. Anyway, I'll have to think about it. Just a vertical and that's it. I don't know. I know it was RF quiet out there still, so that part was nice. But anyway, do you know how many transmitters they're thinking at this point?
Speaker B: I'm guessing.
Speaker A: Yeah. Well, you know, I won't be operating out of there, so if I go.
Speaker B: Yeah, I'm. Well, there's filters, so we should be able to come up with some kind of plan, but I'm not. People call. I got calling me wanting to. They can't keep the same phone number. Want to talk on the phone for an hour and I Don't really want to talk to them, if you know what I mean.
Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Well, there was some question about what time it starts by Greg K6 Gab. I heard him asking that kind of a question or I think he may have texted me. I said, I don't know, probably 8 o'. Clock. But I told him, you know, to get in touch with, you know, that club. So that was just my guess. I know that OBI likes to start pretty early,
Speaker B: seven, but you know, eight o' clock probably fine. You know, doesn't start till what, 11.
Speaker A: Yeah. Well, the thing is though, people like him, he wants to go there first and then he's going to run right over to Oroville wherever Gears is doing. Doing theirs.
Speaker B: Yeah, I don't understand why they're doing that and starting it.
Speaker A: Well, I don't know. That's like a poda. So they're acting like it's a PODA time. So I don't know. Yeah, it is odd. They're an odd group over there. I can't figure them out. But for the PODA purposes, it would be okay. I guess you might actually get two. Two podas out of it if you did it right. But. Yeah, for the Field Day event. I mean, you're gonna leave it. I don't remember. I don't remember where in Orego they're doing it or saying. I think they said it's probably that thermalito after bay. Right. Okay. Yeah. But you know, McGears, people wouldn't care about that, Right? Yeah, I think you ought to. Yeah, I'd be more interested in that too. But I can tell you right now, them here's people, they wouldn't care, most of them. Where's. Where's that going to be? I don't know. I'm just thinking. Thinking out loud. I didn't read nothing but neighborhood church or something. Usually it's where they run bigger ones like that. Okay, yeah, that. I hadn't thought of that either, but makes sense anyway. Well, hopefully I'll be able to see something on the news about all that. That'd be good. Sad deal set for freaking area E2KN6MGK said that? Yeah, no, he. I don't think he was politically motivated one way or the other for his way he represented people and that's why he got reelected so many times. So. Just like Wally Herder. But anyway. Alrighty, Jeremy. Well, let's see tomorrow. Yeah, I'm gonna be going up towards paradise tomorrow and do some work up there. So that's all I got going on. Nothing else do here. Pleasure hearing you and sorry there was no net tonight. I'm not sure what happened there, but maybe there'll be one next week.
Speaker B: Okay.
Speaker A: N6MGK I'll list for your final.

Well into Asia again by Korea this morning. Good morning everybody. Can 6 MGK is awake.

Speaker A: 06:00 clock. N6 npm and it looks like the start of yet another beautiful day. Good morning. N6 npm
Speaker B: Good morning from the valley floor.
Speaker C: Oh, looks like Stephen's breathing again.
Speaker B: I just been up
Speaker D: since about 4. Been working some 40 meter FP8 and doing some mesh research here. That's about it. Yep. Gonna head up that way in a few
Speaker B: hours.
Speaker C: 20.
Speaker B: Well you know that you're always really solid. Full scale.
Speaker C: No Jay, huh.
Speaker B: That hurt him and everyone
Speaker D: was kind of concerned. We didn't hear Jim for the net last night. You know two meter net.
Speaker A: Yeah we need to find somebody to do that. Jim can do it sometimes, I'm sure maybe every other weekend. We're getting ready to vacation so. Yeah, I don't know when we'll be around very much so. But I'll do it when he don't do it. One of these newer up and coming fellas. I'll print up the preamble and you get the first 10 pages of the list of names. Gives you about seven areas or to make check marks so you know who to go back through the list with. But yeah but if he would have came on last night I would have came out here and announced that what I just said there. It's getting hard for Jim to do it I
Speaker C: guess.
Speaker B: Yeah well I think people are just
Speaker D: concerned, you know that he's okay. You know when he doesn't come on at all sometimes he'll come on a few minutes late or something like that. But I
Speaker C: don't know
Speaker D: how many people were out there. Jeremy and I were talking after you know the fact that he didn't show. So anyway but nobody else really popped on at the moment. But I know he's been pretty discouraged by it by only
Speaker B: having say a half a dozen check ins.
Speaker C: Yeah, I was
Speaker A: busy with a projector TV here can do a whole wall floor to ceiling and. Oh heck. What somewhere between 15 and 18ft wide. 4K. Time was flying by and I was. I was enjoying enjoying
Speaker C: the scenery. Good morning.

Speaker A: You can put it on standby for five. Oh, wrong radio.
Speaker B: Yeah, I'm
Speaker A: sitting here studying
Speaker B: the MGK3 node right now on Mesh view, looking at all the lines that going off. Got a huge line into the. The Butte Sar, into Chico and into Forest Ranch, looks like to me, both of them. But then of course, several people from paradise got good lines into them as well. And then way down into the South Bay there at least. Anyway, I find that pretty intriguing.

Yeah, I got hung up on hf. Sorry about that, Steven. So, what did you read that thing about the Ansi lumens verse? Lumens, Mr. J.

You know. That's all. Excuse my language. N6 10km.

Well, that Starlink is. That's about the easiest setup you you'll ever do any anywhere. Pretty unbelievable results too. N6 NTM.

All right. Morning thunder. Breakfast from yesterday heating up.

Speaker A: What happened? Why did you throw it out? Well, I never
Speaker B: heated up. The potatoes taste great. I never heated up sour cream before. I don't know what that
Speaker A: does. Yeah, well, I never heated it up before, but that's good to know. Thanks, Jay.

My phone keeps making a Cha Ching noise like a cash register. I don't know who turned that on.

What time are you taking off? Did you pick up a soldering gun case?

Yeah, I had that happen before. I go all the way down there, get in there and go in there, and they didn't have the color toolbox. I was really looking forward to getting that. Yeah, I was a little depressed. I just went outside, down to the end of the sidewalk and sat around with the homeless for 20 minutes. That cheered me up.

Maybe it was the funny smelling cigarettes that that cheered me.

Yeah, I'm only familiar with the one with a big three foot handle on it. And you do the bending manually? Yeah, it looks like a swap machine.

Speaker A: Well, the mini hookup is simple. I did not get a router and I guess you don't need. Hasn't. It's all WI fi built in. I don't know if that's coming out of the wall work or the dish itself. There one other cable you can hook up if you want to direct wire it into your network or a computer or whatever, you're going to use it for a TV.
Speaker B: RJ45. The tv,
Speaker A: the projector tv. Jay, you're not going to believe that. You're just not. You're not even going to believe how crystal clear that is. And the Starlink mini is only has one adjustment. You just go put it outside and then you can look at it on your phone. It'll tell you which way to tilt it, this way or that way. It just sits on the ground. It doesn't need a pole, it doesn't need a stand, nothing like that. You could, you could just lay it flat on a, on a picnic cable. You plug in the one cord, you plug that into 110v, which they have some options. You can get a 12 volt little inverter that you. It only needs 40 watts or something. So you can plug it into 12 volts DC and it'll, you know, upvert it so that it gives it the voltage it needs in case you only have 12 volts wherever you're setting up. But anyway, the little wall work thing that it comes with, that weighs about a pound. It'll work. You can plug that in just about anywhere. It works on 100 volts to 220.

So it's just got that one cable they give you 50ft that you plug into the wall and the other end plugs into the Mini which is about half the size of the home unit. And it does all the spinning and corrections inside the unit. No moving parts. Kind of like that antenna, that high Q antenna. No moving parts on the outside. Yes sir. I don't know what generation I got because it doesn't say. But probably after I hook it up I'll be able to see it on the phone. I, I'm thinking Gen 3 though. So today when I get back from John's I am going to. Hook the Starlink up straight to the projector. I get a 30 days free trial on that and you can turn that on and off the composite anytime you want. So if you had 20 days left over, that's cool. And if you go with the roam package for 165amonth you can turn that on when you use it and when not. They keep track of the days that you used, which I like. I'll probably use it every day though when we're on the road because you know I like to watch TV at night. You can turn it on and off. You can pause it anytime you want. You just go on your phone, go to Starlink and hit pause and you save whatever days you have remaining until you restart it again. No charge to restart it. And it's $5 a day when you're in pause for the month. For the month. $5 a month if you're not using it. They're offering me a plan right now for half off. So you can get a 40 gig and you can get what ends up being a hundred gigs. They upped it to a 100 gigs for which isn't enough for me or you or you can get that unlimited plant.
