2m Simplex (146.520 MHz) recordings for 2026-02-17

35 degrees and dropping. Looks like all day rain. Of course, they're saying it's going to snow, but we'll see. And 6 NTM looks like the start of yet another beautiful day. Good morning.

I would say we are officially snowing in 6 mtm.

Speaker A: I finally got through to them people on the screen. They said between 9:30 and 3. I said, well, make me first. We're supposed to be snowing, but it won't stick. So I think it will, though, because the deck still got ice on it from earlier this morning at
Speaker B: 4:30 or whatever. He said they had a facility up here. I don't believe them. Lori took the truck.
Speaker A: So I can't even go down and get it if they call back saying
Speaker C: it's snowing.
Speaker A: I know. And all you guys got is a little
Speaker B: Fiat Brat? I don't think so.
Speaker A: Well, you don't have a G icon, but that's awful cold air for a long way up there in the sky. Almost 2,000 miles. That's a lot of coal there.
Speaker B: Russia is doing it. Mine says 34. Just meant a 35.

Yeah, yours don't count. All right, I'll be back in 6mtm.

Speaker A: Looks like frozen rain to me. N6 ntm. Oh, I know, I know. I've tried it a few times.
Speaker B: No, they're not gonna. They're not gonna make it. How much money you want to bet they'll try to use the weather as an excuse? Oh, yeah.
Speaker A: Hey, Mike. I doubt it, though. What is it, 1026? Yeah, it's still early.

Gotta have a special truck to haul 10ft. And the outside of that box better be perfect. Otherwise, I'm making them stay here till I open it. I got no faith in the post office or any delivery company to deliver a ten foot box.

Why would you go to the doctors? They haven't been able to help you yet.

They say the same thing. Well, you got to look at it just a little harder. The people that are telling you you need medicine are the people that make the medicine.

Speaker A: Okay. And.
Speaker B: Oh, brother, there goes the frequency.
Speaker A: Oh, don't worry. I've
Speaker C: only been listening for about two minutes. Anyway, good morning to y'. All. That's basically what I wanted to say. But, yeah, no, no work for
Speaker A: me. Moisture.

I think the veterans are guaranteed four rooms or something like that, and the seniors are supposed to get 40% and by the time they whittle it down, they might even have a few places for homeless. I hope not though.

What's the rest of them for? Taylor sheridan's on joe rogan.

Speaker A: It doesn't look like there's going to be any more Yellowstones. No, but
Speaker B: Joe was talking about it at the beginning of the program. He didn't say nothing about another season or nothing.
Speaker C: Well, the new show that's coming out called, like, U.S. marshals or something, Something like that,
Speaker B: I haven't been alerted to. Seems like I've seen some type of advertisement for that name, though. See, we watched that one the other night. I thought that that was pretty fantastic. That was more up your alley, Jay. Called
Speaker A: Forgotten Figures. It's a true story.

Speaker A: This article published February 9, 2026. Casey Dutton may have moved on from Yellowstone Ranch, but the fan favorite Yellowstone character drama in Marshalls, the upcoming CBS original series from the world of Yellowstone. The show follows Casey as he joins the elite unit of U.S. marshalls in Montana. Anyway, I could move on but about it
Speaker B: check. Yeah, he's got, he's got at least six or eight guys and or gals that go from movie to movie with them like land, Land Man's cast and on and on. We could go.
Speaker A: Okay, so here it says creative team behind Marshalls. Marshalls is executive produced by Taylor Sheridan along with David C. Glasser, executive producing for 101 Studios. The role of John Linson, Art Linson, Spencer Hutt, Duke Grimes, Ron Burkhold, David Hutkin and Bob Yardy. So anyway, yeah, That's, that's all KN6MGK.
Speaker B: Yeah, he stars in all his own movies. Well, I don't know about all, but I see him in most of them. Taylor Sheridan, he's on Joe Rogan right now. You want to really see what a person is in his life. No showboating, no acting, no trying to profess any type of star stuff. Joe Rogan experience. You see a better real side of a person. He knows how to bring that out.
Speaker A: And first premiere date is Sunday March 6th. So a few weeks away. It's going to air weekly. It says channel CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. So if you've got Paramount plus you'll be able to get it from guessing KM6MZK. Thank you.
Speaker B: Well, thank you is not going to cut it. You still got to pay.
Speaker A: Well, just listening to y' all as payment.
Speaker B: I don't know. Did, did Kamala teach you that? Stephen, I, I was unable to make sense of that comment.
Speaker A: You guys cost me more money out here than any other frequency on vhf. But every day you guys are talking about buying something different and I gotta go look it up, see if it's something I think I might need. Next thing you know I'm ordering it too.
Speaker B: You know, you wouldn't know what to do with a 150 inch screen.
Speaker A: Yeah, you know most the ham radio operators are out there. So. You're right. Any more of that? Yeah, you're right. And I turned off pretty much all my. All my TV service. So now I'm down to just whatever dream or whatever now. So that'll be interesting. My wife's not liking that.
Speaker B: Well, you knew all about Yellowstone
Speaker A: and
Speaker B: I remember when they wanted an outrageous price to buy it and I said It'll be free next year to Lori. And I didn't even remember any of that, that it was on and playing until you said how it ended.
Speaker A: Yeah.
Speaker B: Oh, well, some. Some things I am willing to pay for. You got to have it now. Got to have it now, but not very often.
Speaker A: What is it that you're expecting in a 10 foot box?
Speaker B: 150 inch movie screen. Yeah, that's diagonal. It's electric. You know, you push a button or a remote control and it comes down out of the ceiling. A screen that big, you got to be able to put it away.
Speaker A: Okay, so that rolls up in itself or something. That's what I'm expecting. I don't know.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's it. We have a freestanding one. It's 120 inches. I look small next to it.
Speaker A: Yeah, I'd almost think something like that might come in like a. You know, it might be a. Side of the box, maybe. I don't know. Yeah. But yeah, I'd be doing what you. I think I heard you say something about waiting to open it. Yeah, that might be a good, good idea.
Speaker B: Well, I'll open it right away. I'll make the guy, whoever delivers it, if and when they deliver it, if that box isn't 100% perfect, then I'll make them stay here until I unbox it. Otherwise you could just take it right back. Anyway, I like the MMA and UFC fights. When the. When the people are the same size as you, you get an idea of what's really going on. Floor to ceiling. In 3D.
Speaker A: I was watching that yesterday, his speech in Munich, Germany. I also played a little bit of him talking at the Hungarian press conference or whatever. That was kind of boring, but the speech in Germany was good. Worthwhile to listen. Yeah. When. When Marco Rubio runs in 20, 28, it's going to be a tough match against him, I think.
Speaker B: Runs for what?
Speaker A: For president? Yeah. Marco Rubio, most likely. I think he's going to run For President for 2020meet advanced my course.

Speaker A: Well, anyway, it looks like you guys got some cool temperatures next few days. Some potential for snow. Pretty. Maybe a pretty sight up there on Friday. I plan on coming up there Friday, check things out. I don't know if I'll go to Magalia, of course, but maybe if there's a lot of snow on the ground, it might be. I like going up there and taking a look at pictures.
Speaker B: Supposed to get down to 750ft.

Speaker A: So all my here. So I'll probably concentrate on it. The paradise is figuring a way to fill containers there with rainwater. That'd be a nice move anyway. Yeah, but the ones here in Chico are full. They filled up. Was using the water over the past month we had. When we were dry. So all my rainwater was gone. So. Got a new plant
Speaker B: there. I sent you a picture. Yeah, well, I mixed up the horse poop into the. Into the big pile of premium garden soil we got out there. It ought to spice things up quite a bit.
Speaker A: And horse manure.
Speaker B: The guy that I'm wiring his shops down there, guy I logged with for 26, 27 years just down in Chico. I've been down there doing the wiring and his next door neighbor's got two horses, premium fed. Oh, yeah. No weeds or nothing either in the pile of poop. Although the turkeys. The turkeys. There's plenty of turkey poop in there too, because they got big turkeys out there by the airport and. And these are good sized damn turkeys. Crazy. There's probably 20 of them or could be as many as 30. And they usually dig through that horse. Horse poop. Getting the giant red beetles and stuff. So I'm sure there's plenty of turkey poop in there too. That's pretty high nitrogen.
Speaker A: Yeah, well, don't want to burst your bubble too much. But boy, that dirt that I got from you that last time, it's alive. And that's a good thing. You know, it's growing. The one thing that grows a lot of is partially. About like, I'm gonna say three feet tall. I was cutting some of it down just for fun, you know. But yeah, I spread a little bit of that in some areas and threw some seed on it. Matted. It grew like crazy. So yeah, that was some good soil. Whatever. Horse manure in there. Well,
Speaker B: yep, he brought me about three yards, two to three yards. Now, I didn't mix that all in there because I didn't want it to be over poked, fluffy. I. I get a little bit of grass growing on that mound of dirt. But I turn it over every couple of weeks, but I'm not noticing anything strange growing out of it Now. Now, some of that dirt that I mixed in with that big pile came out of Orville and it was the field of weeds. That's why they have to cut all that off before they. Before they. That can't be a part of any of the foundation dirt, you know, because they do them radiation tests. But anyway, that pile of Dirt or over where it was. I do get. I do get a little bit different kind of growth out of it. But I back scrape it all the time because I don't. I don't want it growing around here. I'll dig a hole if I have to and put that stuff in there and then cover it up. Then it don't have a chance of coming through the dirt.
Speaker A: Do you guys have a rosemary bush? I forget.
Speaker B: I don't know if she does or don't.
Speaker A: Yeah. Just keep thinking about who I should give this one to. I've got several of them here that I propagated over the last couple years. And one's looking pretty darn healthy, you know, so I'll probably plant one myself up in paradise somewhere. I already planted one small one up there. But I like the rosemary bushes to bring in the pollinators. And if you ever needed a little bit of spice, you could just run out there and clip some off real quick and put it in your cooking, you know, I like herbs like that.
Speaker B: I don't do much of the cooking. Those are some pretty big flakes coming down there, Jake. So I'm not sure what she uses. I don't put rosemary in the couple of dishes that I make. It only lasted for about a minute.
Speaker A: We make a lot of soups around here. A little dash of some rosemary in there. That's a good little addition. If you're making some bread, you could put some rosemary in your bread for herbs. A lot of people do that. But a lot of poultry dishes you might make, whether it be turkey or chicken or whatever, you know, Rosemary is a fairly common herb for that. Springtime before I do now. And they're probably all gonna die.
Speaker B: Yeah. I don't think she's put anything new out. Everything that's out there in the garden now, you know, we got a couple covered things just in case it freezes. Seems like we always get colder towards March anyway. We'll see.
Speaker A: Yeah, we went from like the La Nina pattern into like a little bit of an El Nino pattern for probably about a month. So probably be wet like this for another couple weeks. I bet.
Speaker B: I'd rather have the snow. If we could get three feet here, that'd be 10 or 15ft up at the high lakes. That's the aquifer filling type of saturation that I look forward to. The future water table.
Speaker A: Yep. So we need it. But yeah, maybe.
Speaker B: No rag dump. Got six inches yesterday evening, not last night. But they got even more of them. Sure of it. Overnight last night and today so far. And I seen cars that came out of Sterling city that had 4 and 5 inches on it, so. Oh, yeah.
Speaker A: Well, it looks like a couple people passed away that Robert Duvall, the actor, he was like in his 90s, like 94 now. Jesse Jackson. So there's some more people.
Speaker B: Yeah, I heard about that this morning.

Speaker A: Okay. I went and retrieved my phone. Yep, I sure do. Pretty huge.
Speaker B: That's the little one. That's
Speaker C: what 120 inches looks like. And the projector can do 300 inches.

All right, I'm back at joe rogan. N6 ntm. Kn6ngk. Good morning.

I don't know whether to believe that or not. N6MTM he says I I should be there before 145. Huh?

Speaker A: Well, I'm thinking, sketchy. It's a 916 number, and he's calling two hours before he arrives. Huh. That's about how long it takes to get from outside north Sacramento.
Speaker B: Yeah, pretty sketchy. Ah, I was just
Speaker A: broadcasting. So, the guy just called, said he'd be here at 1:45. That's about how long it takes to get from Sacramento. And the phone number is a Sacramento 916 number. So he's not even out in the truck till maybe right now leaving Sacramento.
Speaker B: How much money you want to bet?
Speaker A: 916-834-5744? You should. You should call him and see if he's driving. He'll recognize my phone number, but he won't recognize yours. You could pretend like you must have dialed wrong.

With the box all wet and bent in the back from hanging over the tailgate. Well, yeah, since we were making fun of them.

This. Joe Rogan's a year old, but it still is pretty interesting.

Speaker A: He only wishes he could talk this far. You know
Speaker B: the little rubbery thing with some threads on one end? That's the antenna. You got to put that on there.
Speaker A: Let me know when you're done laughing.

Maybe if I give him a clue. And 6 ntm.

Well, look how calm it is. It's eerie. Yeah, it's probably going to start snowing here pretty quick. N6 NTM passing by.

All right, it made it here. N6 ntm.

Speaker A: Almost directly overhead. That was a big one.
Speaker B: N6 ntm. And now the hail. Yeah, it
Speaker A: might have been. It might have been a dinky bit off, but it was damn near overhead. Maybe the most of half a mile.
Speaker B: Did you catch the flash? All right, get back with
Speaker A: it. Carbon wrapped motors. That's your next. Look it up when you get a free minute. Carbon wrapped motors. Check out Tesla's latest. 20,000
Speaker B: rpms.

Speaker A: Well, Jay, that's the most hail I've ever seen coming down at one time. Almost a half inch deep on the. On the deck, and
Speaker B: it's still coming down, Straight down. Hail bigger than P. P. S.

Speaker A: You can't hear stephen. Jake,
Speaker B: I think he's not by his radio or he's busy finishing up what he's working on. Stephen, he's coming in just fine here.
Speaker C: Yeah, I believe his name is Jerry. He's up there. I could hear him just barely, but I was trying to get ht, like a bow thing or something. So anyway,
Speaker B: We almost got an inch of hail and it's still coming down. Straight down. Bigger than P. Size.
Speaker C: Number
Speaker A: six
Speaker C: mike Golf, Kimowette.
