I'm pointing the wrong way.

Ak6q6qaz. Yeah, I just needed some direction. All right, let's try this real quick. Yeah, that's better. You got to put out more than one watt even though you got a beam. All right, let's see. I'm gonna keep mo. I'll have to see if that's any better. Looks like I'm bouncing off the mountain.

Speaker A: All right, that's facing the east.
Speaker B: Ak6u.

Speaker A: It does. It's too early in the morning, too. Oh, yeah. It's my day off. It's too early in the morning. How you been?
Speaker B: Not bad at all. Just sitting here. I work from home, so my work desk and my shack are the same, which is good and bad, by the way. It's good for in the early mornings just to have a little background on and listen to the net and all of that, which is fun. But the negative side is that I often find myself more focused on the radio than work. But that's okay. I'm doing well, man. How about yourself? I'm doing all right.
Speaker A: I'm doing all right. You know, life is being life. Work is being work. But as I was telling Armand last night on the phone, you know, if you love what my grandfather always said, if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. And I do love what I do. So I have never worked a day in my life for that reason. But, yeah, works being work. But in the good news department, I finally got the last cable put together in order to get the DI box properly in line with the mixer. So that now HF doesn't sound all. All the time whenever I up.
Speaker B: Very nice. Well, yeah, that. Okay, that sounds like accomplishment. That's what that sounds like to me. Well, good deal.
Speaker A: Yeah, absolutely. So.
Speaker B: So you're not deaf now. You can.
Speaker A: You can hear.
Speaker B: Or was it when you keyed up or just listening?
Speaker A: Keyed up. I was going from unbalanced to balanced and nothing in between it to convert it between the two. So I got a DI box and then I got the proper adapters and everything and then found out, oh, wait, the DI box to this one cable is male to male, so I need a female to female jumper in order to make it work. And so that finally came in and I got that hooked up. And I did test last night when I got home from work. Yesterday was Wednesday night into Thursday is my last full working day because I work overnight. And so then I drove home yesterday morning during the coffee break net, and then, you know, all that and I put the cable together and I did a test on 40 and it worked fine. Now I. Now I have other issues. I'm only getting about 50 watts peak out on my, you know, on when I go November Lima Whiskey. You know, when I. When I really emphasis it, that's when I get the higher power out. So now I have to figure out what's going on on the power side.
Speaker B: Well, as you probably no doubt agree, that's the joy of the tinkering side of this hobby. Yeah, but then when you satisfy it or when you scratch that itch, it feels oh so much better, does it not? I gotta get back. I got a 7:30 call here and I'm just gonna finish up a little bit of prep. But good hearing you Frank man. Thanks for the drive by this morning. And I think our friend found the correct push to talk button. Just took him a couple tries there. You know, again, I recognize it only because I've done it many, many, many times. Sendry bud. Have A Good morning. WB1G
Speaker A: did it twice last night thinking the PTT button was still on the VHF side and it was into the HF side. Whoops. Yeah, Smitty, you have a great morning. WB1G key G6NLW almost time for me to hit the go live button.
Speaker B: Yes, it is.
Speaker A: We'll be standing by.
Speaker B: Maybe today I'll watch the net rather than listen. WB1G73.

Speaker A: Good morning.
Speaker B: This is the coffee breaknet of the W6ek repeater. This is the net where the sun is always shining, the birds are singing and the fish are jumping. The coffee breaknet is on every morning from 7:30 until 10:00am ish Pacific Time here on the W6EK repeater, on All Star 51018 and on EchoLink. And we are sponsored by the Sierra Foot Devils Amateur Radio Club which is located in Auburn, California, which is north of Sacramento. It's a beautiful day here. I'm up in Lincoln, California, which is up probably about 20 miles south of Auburn. And it's a beautiful, nice, calm day here. Looks like it's going to be a nice day. All right, as we generally start out, this is just our general ride tunet. But we start out with some quick in and outs when we get going here. So let's do some quick in and outs, find out who's out there, who wants to get their day started. This is Tom on November. November 6 Hotel. November 6 Charlie, Kilo, Victor.
Speaker C: N2 Dyi,
Speaker D: Kilo Delta 6, Charlie Delta Quebec. Rick in North Island,

Speaker E: N6ckv, k2gcp. Kristen matspequa, k2gcp.
Speaker B: Okay, I got n6 ckv, carl. Then there was a double, an rf double at the end there was that. Did I hear larry in there? Ihj

Speaker D: Kilo oscar,
Speaker E: k2 gcp. Chris.
Speaker B: Okay, yeah, K2GCP. I called you before. I already. I got you on the list here, so no problem. And now who was the other station?
Speaker D: Kilo oscar six kilo, mike romeo, over.
Speaker B: All right, K06KMR. Okay, I think that's John. Okay, very good. All right, well, this is a good enough list to start out for quick in and outs. So let me go to the top. Good morning, Patrick. And it is morning. N2DYI. NN6H for the coffee breaknet.
Speaker C: Hey, good morning. Actually, Carl was at the top. I was right behind him. So if you want to take him first, that's cool with me.
Speaker B: Yeah, I figured Carl was probably there early, so I'll go ahead and. I'll go ahead and do that. All right, thanks Patrick. Carl, N60KV Good morning. Good morning, Tom.
Speaker F: And everyone else.
Speaker E: Thanks, Patrick. Yeah, not much going on today.
Speaker D: Gonna put together a lamp that my wife bought and just do other odds and ends around the house.
Speaker E: Not much going on. It's not nice.
Speaker B: Quiet and foggy today. Back to you, Tom. Well, you have fog there. We have beautiful skies up here. It is crystal clear. I see a few little kind of straggly clouds, but it is beautiful up here.
Speaker D: Yeah, there's a light fog but there
Speaker E: was some yesterday too.
Speaker B: It'll burn off by 10 o'. Clock.
Speaker E: Not much going on.
Speaker B: I'm going to say 73. And thanks for running the net, Tom. CKV everyone have a good Saturday.
Speaker D: All right.
Speaker B: Very good there, Carl. You have a great Saturday too. And yeah, fog shouldn't be too bad. Then I definitely tell you you're going to have blue skies coming through afterwards. All right, thanks for checking in and aloha Friday to you, Patrick NT oai thank you for yielding your time.
Speaker C: Good morning again, Tom. I mean, it's been a whole minute and a half since the last time I said that. A lot has changed in that time, I'm sure.
Speaker B: All right, do you want to give us a short recap of what's changed?
Speaker C: Well, that's the problem. So much has changed that there's absolutely no way I could do that in
Speaker F: less than a minute and a half.
Speaker B: Just go ahead and pick one highlight and then we'll go ahead and discuss that.
Speaker D: Okay.
Speaker C: The rotation of the earth has caused the angle of the sun relative to where I am to change very slightly.
Speaker A: There you go.
Speaker F: There's one.
Speaker B: Okay. I wouldn't call that breaking news, but we'll go with it. I never said it was breaking news.
Speaker C: I just said it was something that changed within that time. Anyway, I don't really have all that much. The dog is getting his checkup today. He just turned 13 recently, so time for his six month checkup. I don't think he's due for any shots and expensive medicine. He takes two of them and we'll see how all that goes.
Speaker B: Yeah, it's amazing how much you spend on animals and stuff because they're all part of the family. So hopefully your weather and stuff is improving back there.
Speaker C: It rained pretty much all day yesterday. We got quite substantial rain and it's going to be raining on and off, mostly drizzling and mostly just cloudy today. And then it's going to be getting better over the weekend, especially Saturday. I think it's going to be around 70. Same for Sunday. Then it's going to get cooler again and then by the end of next week we'll be in the upper 70s, near 80.
Speaker B: All right. Well, it doesn't sound too bad. It sounds like spring may be coming. I think we're all looking forward to that.
Speaker D: Yeah.
Speaker C: The fun thing about this time of year is you're never quite sure what the pollen level is going to do. And I kind of got used to New York and so this time of year I have to be kind of careful when I'm back here.
Speaker D: So.
Speaker C: And I haven't been back here during this part of the year in a while. Usually I'm out of here by then. So anyway, don't have too much more to add, so I will let you get to the rest of your check ins. Good to hear you this morning as always. And I will say 73 for now. NN68 Gen2DYI.
Speaker B: All right, very good there, Patrick, 7.3. Aloha Friday to you and thanks for checking in. And we'll talk to you later and probably talk to you on the All Notes net on Monday night at 6pm Pacific, 9pm Eastern with Patrick next, Grayton, KC6SLA. Good evening.
Speaker A: Good morning.
Speaker B: Good evening. Good morning. It was good seeing you last night.
Speaker A: Good morning, Tom. Good morning to the Net. Yeah, it was, it was good to see you as well and see everyone else that attended Ray Abbott's KK6am's Celebration of Life last night. That was a very nice event. Very well, you know, very nice turnout of people. It was just good interaction, good memories of Ray. Everyone had a great time. I got to meet Ray's other child, his son. I'd never met his son before, but it was a great evening.
Speaker B: It was good to see everyone that
Speaker A: turned out and again, it was a good turnout and it was a pleasure to see you again, Tom. Always a pleasure to see you.
Speaker B: It was good to see you and Lisa and to see everybody there. Yeah, it was definitely a great turnout there. It's nice to, to a very, I think it was like Smitty was saying, well, I counted about 32 and then I guess we had a bunch of people come after. So about 40 over 40 people coming. So I think it was very well attended. And you know, we were all kind of put into that little small room.
Speaker A: There was a lot of QRM in that room. It was a small room with a lot of people talking and it was
Speaker D: a real test for him to be
Speaker A: able to pick out who they were talking to through the qrn. But it was fun and it's always great to see Christina and Thomas. You know, we haven't seen them in over a year. Would rather, would rather see them under better circumstances but it's always a pleasure to see them. So I'll let you move on with the list but I just wanted to mention that and you know Tom, I think Ray really would have liked the evening last night. I think he really would have liked the way that we celebrated his life. Kc6sle
Speaker B: yeah, I think you're right there, Graydon. I think he would have enjoyed all the comments and stuff. Of course he would have had his own comments based on some of the things that were said. But they were all at least all true and I think it was good. Yeah, it was good. It was good to see Thomas and Christina there. All right, very good. Well I guess we'll probably see you tomorrow at the Fox Hunt and the monthly breakfast. We have a monthly breakfast tomorrow morning at Mel's 7:30 and then we have a Fox Hunt with a Pre meeting at 9 and maybe the Fox Hunt and Fox Hunt will be turned on at 9:30. The fox will be turned on at 9:30 and we'll have Marty Ko6GXX will be the park stencher and that'll be in the the Auburn area. So that'll be fun. Seven three is to their graydon. Next up I have Rick KD6CDQ Good Morning and hello on Friday.
Speaker D: Good morning Tom and annette. This is Katie 6 CDQ Rick and beautiful downtown suburban urban North Islands. Tom, I got a kind of a curiosity question. You said you live out in Lincoln?
Speaker B: Yeah, I kind of go between Discovery Bay and Lincoln. So yeah, I'm in Lincoln right now.
Speaker D: Well back in my Air Force days when I was stationed at McClellan we used to have what was called the Lincoln receiver site and I was curious if that was still out there. If you know,
Speaker B: I have not heard of that before. I'm there are some other people out here who've been here longer than I have, especially Scott KM6RFP. Anybody hear the receiver side in Lincoln
Speaker D: comment?
Speaker F: Go ahead comment.
Speaker D: Yeah, Cam6YKX here.
Speaker G: If it's the the place that's out off of boy, I want to say it's off of Moore Road or something like that. It's west of Lincoln. It's pretty far out there. Yeah, that site is still there. It's still, you know, has a big fence around it and stuff. So I.
Speaker D: If that's the place you're talking about,
Speaker G: that is still there and still doing whatever it does.
Speaker D: Cam6ykx. Well, I'll be darned, because, you know, they shut down McClellan and after they shut it down, I left the area for a little bit. But anyways, as part of the global communication network, that Lincoln's a receiver site. And out in Davis, they have the transmitter site. And on one of my times out at the transmitter site, I was doing an inspection and some Turkey took a 10K transmitter, tuned it to channel 19 on the Citizen van. Boy, oh boy, oh, boy, did that cause some problems. I think at least one airman could found himself in deep, deep, deep voodoo.
Speaker B: Well, that would definitely cause it. Yeah. I have not heard about that receiver site there. So thank you, Rob, who's probably lurking in the background there for giving us that information. Yeah, very interesting.
Speaker D: Yeah, Lincoln receiver site was an interesting place. I had to go out there to do a quality control inspection While I was in the air force. And on our way out there to the site, the team leader, he was driving the blue Goose. We were in a pheasant came out of nowhere.
Speaker G: Wham. He hit it.
Speaker D: He pulls that blue goose over, grabs that pheasant and throws it in the back of this station wagon we were in.
Speaker C: What are you gonna do with that?
Speaker D: I'm gonna take it home and cook it.
Speaker B: That's funny. Yeah, I definitely will. Maybe I get a chance. I'm roaming around Lincoln. I'll go ahead and check that out there. But anyway, thanks, Rob, for letting us know about that. So. Yeah, maybe I'd get it right up here, Rick, and then you can take a look at yourself and see if
Speaker F: it's a same place.
Speaker D: Well, this is just a curiosity thing since, you know, my air force exposure is very, very limited now. Just a BX or no BX anymore. Just a commissary is all I got left. But anyway, that was just something that was going through my mind this morning as I was getting idle. So everybody have a great day. This is Katy. Six CDQ and 73s.
Speaker B: All right. 7:30 there, Rick, and you have a great day. And yeah, thanks for mentioning that. Yeah, I definitely will check. I didn't realize that history was here in Lincoln, so I'll look at that. All right.
Speaker A: Very good.
Speaker B: You have a great day and enjoy the in North Highlands there. Katie. 6 CDQ next I have Chris, K2 GCP. Good morning and aloha to you.
Speaker E: Good morning, Tom and Annette. Chris, K2GCP, Mass Pequa, NY.
Speaker B: Just had a good week with the,
Speaker E: with the family and getting rid of snow that came down and now I'm back to work today. I'm just actually pulling up, but I hope you guys have a great, great weekend, great Friday and it was good talking to you. I'm glad I got to check in on with way into work.
Speaker D: I always listen to you guys.
Speaker E: I never get to really check in because I'm always mobile with All Star. But have a good one and K2GCP
Speaker B: will be listening on the side. All right, Chris? Yeah. K2GZP NN6H this is Tom for the Coffee Breaknet. All right, very good. Well, stay safe back there. I'm glad you're getting a lot of snow and stuff back there. So glad that you're okay and enjoy your day at work. Hopefully you have a good weekend and thanks for checking in. We got you in the log here. Next up I have VK1 GT juice. JT juicy tomatoes. Good morning, John.
Speaker F: Yeah, good morning, everybody.
Speaker D: Is my audio okay?
Speaker B: And hello,
Speaker F: Roger. Roger, vk1jt.
Speaker D: Is my audio okay?
Speaker B: Yeah, we can hear you fine, john. Your audio is fine.
Speaker F: Yeah, Roger, Roger, guys, no worries. I'm a forensic psychologist and psychological scientist. I did my university through the University of South Australia and I also specialise
Speaker A: in a number of other areas as
Speaker F: well as Raptor autism and ADHD and trauma and what the world today and what's not. And all I can think about is when I used to run into the kitchen as a kid with a book open going, look, mum, look dad, look what I learned today. And then being told to be seen and not heard and you know, makes you wonder that Generation X and the kids coming up today, you know, what would happen if the next network infrastructure
Speaker A: fell down and things like Google and
Speaker F: all those online databases of information just suddenly disappeared and these kids could not actually digitally communicate anymore. And I've got kids of my own and we got everyone's future to think about. So it's something that we all have to be responsible for anyway. That's it from this autistic dad of VK1.
Speaker B: Okay, very good there, John. Yeah, it definitely is a different world these days and the kids are growing up with different, I guess, relying on certain things or having certain assumptions that things are available. And the Internet is definitely a big part of that. And of course AI is going to be a big part of it going forward too, here, for better or for worse. All right, John, thank you for checking in. And good talk to you again. And we'll talk to you next time. So clearing with VK1JT next, I have Will KJ5GWN. Good morning, Will. And aloha Friday.

Speaker A: Good morning. Yep, it's Will. KK5 belfisk and river going up to high 70 today. Supposed to be eight here tomorrow so it's going to be warm. We got some rain coming in, some much needed rain coming in this weekend. Friday night on it as a Sunday. Then next week we got a chance
Speaker B: of rain all week.
Speaker A: So anyway, back over to you, Tom. I don't have much to add here. This is KJ5's gal fishing with them.
Speaker C: Okay, well we got kj5gwn nn6h for the coffee brick net.
Speaker D: Well it seemed like.
Speaker C: Yeah, at least you're getting some mild weather there. Rain, it's easy to handle. At least you're not getting the snow
Speaker B: and stuff like that.
Speaker C: So hopefully you have some plans, some nice plans for the weekend and maybe stay in next week when it's raining there. So anything else for the net this morning?
Speaker A: No, I do have make a run to run the town movies but other than that I'm not going to be doing anything else sweet there. So anyway, back over to you. This is KJ5, Del Christina Weather.
Speaker C: Okay, well you have a great Friday, a great Aloha Friday and a great weekend and yeah and took your time back there and hopefully you can do some, some radio stuff. All right, clearing with KJ5GWN. Next up, Larry. K06IHJ. Good morning Larry and Aloha.
Speaker D: Good morning Aloha, Tom. This is Ko6iha.
Speaker B: Good morning everybody.
Speaker D: Nothing too special. I got up late. I don't even have coffee yet so
Speaker C: I can't even be well informed with caffeine.
Speaker D: I'm looking at the cameras and it's a beautiful day. It looks like I'm gonna get some yard work done today, get some stuff cleaned up.
Speaker C: I don't know if it's gonna rain again. Might rain again, probably gonna rain again.
Speaker D: Other than that it's gonna be an easy day today and this weekend we'll get back to it on Monday. Other than that, everybody have a blessed day. Be careful out there. KL6 highest J Sept3
Speaker C: yeah, very good. I failed to mention what the, what the days are the national days. And one of the national days is no brainer day. No brainer day. And that means basically don't do anything that requires thinking and you know, just kind of go with the flow. So yeah, yard work. I got some weeds here to pull myself so. And it looks like it's beautiful outside here in Lincoln so we'll be doing that. So anyway, yeah, so it's no Brainer day there, Larry. So maybe you can incorporate that into your. Into your day or sonic if you already are. See, I'm a heavy game.
Speaker B: That works for me. No brainer day.
Speaker D: Kind of like me.
Speaker C: No brainer.
Speaker D: Other than that, nothing. So thanks for running that, Tom. Get back to it.
Speaker C: A bunch of people.
Speaker D: I guarantee you're gonna have a bagel pile up your vision. K06 Ice Jake. Good luck.
Speaker C: Okay, very good there and thanks. Thanks Larry. And you take care and have a great day. Have a great no brainer day there. All right, clearing with Larry. And last on my list here is Robert Ko6t. Good morning, Robert. And aloha Friday.
Speaker E: Well, thank you, Tom, and hello to all the net.
Speaker C: I'm going to go to the gym
Speaker E: this morning and drinking a cup of coffee.
Speaker C: Excuse me.
Speaker E: Listening to the great conversation. My extra class is going very well,
Speaker C: just so everybody knows.
Speaker E: And we're right at halfway through. So got five more classes to go.
Speaker C: Plus one.
Speaker E: That is just a review class for a couple hours for review. Then I'll take my test and also going over my CW codes and trying to get that down also. So lots of stuff on the mind.
Speaker C: Over. Okay, very good. Well, good luck there. And I think you're taking the glasses there from Oraine and the group there and that's. That's really good. Yeah. So you should be all prepared to take your extra class on the CW stuff. Are you just doing practice stuff or you've actually done anything on the air or doing any talking to people?
Speaker E: No, just doing the practice stuff right now.
Speaker B: Once I get out of this extra
Speaker E: class, I'm going to go back to the Long Island CW club program and go through that. Then I'll probably get online and do a little bit of chatting over.
Speaker C: Okay, very good. Yeah, it's interesting to see how popular CW is. Back when I got my license, CW was a requirement and then they. They took it away and people were saying then, you know, it's going to die off and all that stuff if you don't require it. But you know, probably like the old film photography, you know, people go back to that because it's something that's new and different versus the digital stuff and it's kind of like cw. Well, since it's not required, it's kind of an art form so people enjoy that. So it's amazing just how many people are active and studying cw.
Speaker E: That is true.
Speaker C: And
Speaker E: I'll get through it eventually. Other than that, Tom, I'm just going to go ahead and sign off, finish my coffee, listen to conversation and head off to the gym here in about 20, 30 minutes. And on that kilo Oscar 6 kilo Micromeo, I'm going to say 73 and listening over.
Speaker C: All right, very good there, Robert. Well, good luck with your study there. I think it's great that you're getting your, getting your extra class and also studying the CW part of it. So that makes it enjoyable, especially when you start getting some, there's some contests and stuff, you know, CW only contest that you can participate in. And also cw, like on field Day and stuff, you know, gives you additional points. So it's a very good skill to learn. All right, well, 7:3 to you and thanks for checking in and aloha Friday. All right, this is Tom NN6H. I am your net host here for Friday, February 27th. And this is the coffee break. Now we do this every morning from 7:30, 10:00am ish Pacific Time on the W6K repeater. And so the national days, which I'll go ahead in here and go through them quickly, it's International Polar Bear Day. It's like I mentioned before, it's national no brainer Day where you don't, don't do anything to think about for today. It's also National Strawberry Day. It's Strawberry Day. It's National Kahlua Day. I think maybe Ray KK 6am would have liked the Kahlua Day. It's National Pokeman Day. Let's see what else. That's about all that seems to come to mind. Anyway, so those are the national days. All right, I'll go ahead here and take another round of quick in and outs for who's out there. Quick in and out for the coffee break. Net, this is Tom NN6H. Good morning, Tom, KV6 SSA,
Speaker F: Kilo Bravo
Speaker G: 6 Lima Uniform Victor.
Speaker C: Good morning.
Speaker G: Juicy tomato recheck.
Speaker C: All right, I got the kd3a n, I got vk1jt for a recheck. I got wb6a, kb6luv k6dcl and I got kb6ssn at the top. Let me go for. So john, that kv1dk1j2 for your recheck.
Speaker G: Yeah, Roger there, Tom.
Speaker D: I was just had a bit of
Speaker G: a special request and one thing, wondering
Speaker C: if anyone would be interested in learning
Speaker G: a little bit about auto autism and ADHD and whatnot. And I thought I'd just throw that
Speaker D: at you, let you get through it.
Speaker G: And if anyone's interested, I can go for it afterwards. Sarah, after you've Finished what you need to do?
Speaker C: My back to you. Okay, John, so, so give me a. Clarify what you're. You want to do there. You want to have a conversation afterwards about, about the topic. Is that what you want to do?
Speaker D: No, I was going to give a
Speaker G: little talk on it rather than a question and answer.
Speaker C: Just a little talk. Well, we can if you want to do something. If you want to do something quick, we can do it later when we get into the rag two part of our session here to do some quick in announce. Right now.
Speaker G: Yeah.
Speaker D: Well, mate, you're the pilot and the captain take it away.
Speaker G: I'll go back to my seat.
Speaker C: All right, John, I can go ahead and give you a call a little bit later here when we get into the rag two stuff there, John. Anyway, thank you for that. All right, so let me go with this list here. So go up to. These are quick and announce. So let me go to Tom, KB6. Good morning. Aloha Friday to you there, Tom.
Speaker B: Well, good morning, Tom. And the net, KB6SSN, Tom here. Yes. And we're all ham radio operators, so that means I think about 50% of us are somewhere on the spectrum. So we may want to listen to what John has to say. Okay, let's see here real quick. CW Interesting story.
Speaker C: World War II command comes along.
Speaker B: One of the problems they have is that the operators they have are hitting walls with their training methods and they can't get above, you know, between somewhere in 13 and 20 words per minute. And there's a whole lot of traffic that needs to be moved in the clear. Not the coded stuff, but in the clear. And they're just not copying it quickly enough. And the task to solve the problem is given to this lieutenant commander. And he is discussing it with, with his wife one evening and she says, I think my music teacher has the answer to this. And I don't remember her first name. I think it was Eleanor, but. Or Elizabeth or something like that. But her last name was Vance. V, A, N, C, E. And he brought her in and she consulted with the Navy for about a year, year and a half and taught them to hear the melody, not the individual letters, and as a result copy whole words as opposed to copying individual letters. And that's how we got the rhythmic method that we use for doing high speed CW today. She never got credit for her work. She went back to being a music teacher. And it wasn't until sometime in the 1990s that her contribution came out. So I thought that was interesting.
Speaker C: Okay, that's interesting. I did not. So I got my license. You know, I got my general class at five words at 13 words a minute. Then I got my extra class at 20 words a minute. When I studied, I didn't even think about the rhythmic method. But you know, it kind of just flowed in there as they started getting faster and faster. It just seemed that was the way to do things, especially with common words and stuff like that. You kind of just recognize groups of words together versus individual ones. Because if you try to do individual ones there, you'd never keep up the higher speeds. But yeah, that definitely is interesting. And that is definitely what happens when you do high speed cw.
Speaker B: Exactly. And it increased the flow of information by about 50% according to the story that I read. So I thought that was quite interesting. The other thing to talk about this morning is the VL1000amplifier is finally in
Speaker C: a hundred percent condition.
Speaker B: We were having some fits with the buttons on the front of it and Larry broke it all down and found out that the bar that supports the buttons behind the panel was bent. Now how that one bar, when nothing else around it could be bent and nothing else, we have no idea. But he got in there and he straightened everything and got all the felts back in place. And if you want to see the results, Confederate sun one YouTube channel. I posted a little 60 second video up there of all the buttons working. So if that kind of bad video interests you, that might be helpful. And then moving on to the last subject here. Worked a guy on 20 meters yesterday. Now I have read about this, I've seen pictures of it, I have read articles about it, but never worked a guy who was actually doing it. Apparently down in Arizona there is a. I don't want to use the word abandoned, but a no longer militarily occupied missile base that become something of a museum or something like that. In any case, they left the antennas behind and a local ham club maintains them. And you can just drive up to this big antenna array and there's a sign there that says please hang up the coax when you're done. But you can plug right into this giant antenna and use it. Well, I bumped into a fellow yesterday that was doing exactly that on 20 meters and we worked him. So that was fun.
Speaker D: Info.
Speaker C: Oh, that's an interesting idea here, Tom. Yeah, go ahead. Info.
Speaker D: Yeah, It's Carl in 60kV. Collins Radio put up a HF discone
Speaker B: out in the Arizona desert and that's
Speaker D: what the people are using.
Speaker C: They just bring the coax out to a table nearby and you can plug in and use it. Back to you, Tom.
Speaker D: N60kv
Speaker F: server info khe6 Vanilla Yep,
Speaker C: that would be an interesting thing. Yeah, you kind of wonder in this day and age that they would get vandalized and stuff, but maybe out in the middle of the desert it wouldn't be. It's interesting, Tom. I wonder you can locate some around here or maybe even put up your own antenna systems for people to use their.
Speaker A: Tom.
Speaker B: Well, you know, I don't advertise it, but I do have two different antennas that are in clandestine locations.
Speaker C: Blue Canyon.
Speaker B: Yeah, that are there and I just drive up and plug into them. But they're well hidden in the trees and they don't work all that well because they're in the trees. But they are, they are there. So I didn't have to stretch them out every time I went up there to play. Haven't been up there in a while. Take a look at that. Anyway, that's all I have for you this morning. Let's see our next project for Larry and I. Going to be a really, really easy one. We have a Yaesu FTM 510, brand new in the box. I pulled the box out to say, yep, that's what it is and put it back and it's been sitting in storage. So probably Monday morning I'm going to drag that out to Larry's house and we'll hook it up and maybe check in on the coffee break and see what this flagship VHF UHF radios are supposed to be all about. So, so far yaesu's made some pretty good radios. We've tested, so going all the way back to the 1960s, we'll see what this modern offering has to offer. I guess we'll talk to you soon, Tom. KB6SSN73 further info.
Speaker C: Yeah, go in. So,
Speaker F: good morning, Tom and Annette. Tom, ssn, you're talking about the Titan Missile Museum down there in Arizona. They're in Green Valley. They're hosted by the Green Valley Amateur Radio Club. And when you're a. When you visit, the antenna is free of charge when the museum is open. It's an 80 foot tall antenna with a large crown at the top. It's a wonderful antenna. The swr, not so great, but it gets out and it does the trick. KG6NLW Good morning.
Speaker B: Well, thank you, Frank. That was very informative. I appreciate that. Back to that KV6 SSL.
Speaker C: Yeah, it would seem like it would be an interesting project if somebody had, you know, a spare piece of land or something. Maybe you know, just a plot of land that they, that they weren't quite using at the moment is just put up a public antenna there and put a sign there says free to use and see if anybody takes you up on that. Yeah, because a lot of people, you know, you know, have HOAs and stuff and they don't have a place to do things. But you know, maybe that would mean a new type of thing. Instead of a poda, it would be, well, maybe public land antenna pla or something. I don't know. It would be interesting social experiment I guess there, Tom.
Speaker B: Well, that would be kind of fun actually. And it wouldn't be. You wouldn't have to even make a large investment in the thing. It didn't have to be an antenna. An 80 foot tall disco. Heck, the antenna that we installed out at Larry's works pretty darn well. We can get something like that for
Speaker C: a couple hundred bucks.
Speaker B: You can throw up a drive up n fed random length, you know, and that thing zooms on every van. So yeah, just drive up, plug it in and your mobile HF rig now has a base station antenna. I think that's not a bad idea, to be honest with you, Tom. It'd be interesting to see who you met.
Speaker C: Yeah, it'd be interesting. And then maybe you put a camera on it so people can dial in and watch people operate on there. I don't know. But then the other question is maybe, you bet how long the thing would actually stay. Maybe someone would steal it for the wire. I don't know.
Speaker B: Well, you know, the sign that I saw in the article, the said please return the coax to the hook. And it showed this coax coiled up on this board that was there. And that was their concern was that people left the coax on the ground. They didn't coil it back up again when they were done. Yeah, that's in that area. In this area. I think we have to have an armed guard on it 24 hours a day and that's going to run into some expense more than the cost of the copper anyway. Very, very interesting idea though.
Speaker D: KB6 SSM.
Speaker C: All right, so your project there, Tom, is.

Speaker A: Find a piece of land that you can do that with and then as an experiment and then offer it out and we'll see what happens. I think that'd be, that actually would be nice for people that like I say, people in HOAs and stuff, you know, that try to do podas, you know, and they may get a compromised antenna with a poda. But to be able to go to a place that has a, you know, maybe a 160 through 6 meter, you know, doublet or something there or you know, multi band antenna, that would be interesting. Anyway, very good. Okay. Anyway, thanks a lot for that, Tom. All right, these are in and outs and I know we're getting long.
Speaker B: Let me go.
Speaker A: So I want to clear with KV6SSN. You have a great day. Let's go to Dave a K6TCL. Good morning Dave and Lucy. Hello. On Friday.
Speaker C: Friday, yeah. There you go. I love that K6DCL here. I almost fell asleep.
Speaker A: Gee.
Speaker C: Anyway, just kidding and good Saturday. Friday my son is coming up to eat with my one of my grandsons and we're going to go out to lunch and I'll put him busy with a couple of things other than that I still love the 3185R yes. 2 meter radio. It is still fantastic and I still get raving reviews. I have a friend of mine down in Sally Springs who's on every Wednesday night there's a net and I'm heading them. So he just is amazed at this 85 watt radio and the receive is equally the same but it was something I was trying to remember but I forget. Doesn't matter. Still scanning the channels and no and Lucy said no to something on the Internet and it's always fun to have breakfast here. K6DCL73 Tom have a great week. Hopefully I hear you on Tuesday night when my gym Rushnet but if not don't worry about it. We got things to do. K6TCL.
Speaker A: Okay. Dave. Yeah. K6TCL NN6H for the coffee Breaknet. Okay. Well you and Lucy have a great day there and yeah, it's like you're here having fun with your radios. Yeah, I will get on the net. I usually get on the net if I'm in Discovery Bay. I can't reach of course here from Lincoln. But I do try to remember to get in there when I can just in some busy weeks here. All right. Well you take care and enjoy this beautiful day and enjoy the weekend and enjoy your lunch with your grandson there. Clearing with K6DCL next let's go to Brett KB6LUV. Good morning, Aloha,
Speaker D: Good morning Tom and coffee breaknet land. It is a lovely Friday here in South Natomas. We got that orange ball in the sky which has made its appearance. Nice thing. Looks like it's actually got darn near toasty yesterday. Had to put on some shorts and a T shirt to go for a walk.
Speaker A: Yeah, I did the same thing. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I went in there in shorts because it was more convenient and it was beautiful. Warm day.
Speaker D: It was absolutely gorgeous. I got out there with my mom Bonnie from Newton, Kansas who's spending the last couple of days here. Say good morning Bob.
Speaker C: Good morning to all of you in coffee break land and yeah, it's a glorious morning.
Speaker A: Well, good morning to you Bonnie and yeah, welcome to California. Beautiful weather here.
Speaker E: This is Sack Valley's original 105 machine W6CRC with a PL tone of 110.9
Speaker D: that she will be here. She's going to be going back to Kansas on Tuesday. But for those who might be up fox hunt tomorrow we will be there. My mom, my wife be and myself, we will be up there joining you lovely folks to hunt down that little fox.
Speaker A: Okay, very good. Well maybe, maybe we'll get to meet ami and your Y30. Yeah. Tomorrow morning the fox hunt. We had the breakfast at 7:30 at Mel's Diner in Auburn and then right after that 9 o'.
Speaker C: Clock.
Speaker A: So 9 o' clock in Mel's parking lot will be a meeting about the fox hunt and then I think the fox will be turned on at 9:15 or 9:30 and Marty Ko6GXX will be the fox tender. So yeah, I guess maybe this will be a highlight of Bonnie's trip to ampa fox hut.
Speaker D: I think it probably will be one of the highlights because most we have we're pouring around here. We got low lights going on high, high.
Speaker A: Well, I'm sure she'll probably be overwhelmed by everybody that's going to be there. Yeah, we typically have about 30 to 40 people at these breakfasts so not so many at the fox hunt but still a good turnout there. So I'm glad that she's going to be able to attend that.
Speaker D: Yeah, it should be good times. We will see you all there at the fox hunt. Preparation breakfast is a little bit early for us but definitely we'll be there for the fox hunt. Just a quick comment on no brainer day. I think that if you go out into humanity I think no brainer day isn't everything. Unfortunately, common sense is not a flower that grows in everybody's garden.
Speaker A: Yeah, well, I guess this is a special day for those that want to be able to veg out there. They can do it. All right, very good. Well, looking forward to seeing you and your family at the tomorrow morning. Yeah. So basically be there at 9 o' clock for the pre meeting and, and you know, bringing HD and all that stuff with you to help find the fox.
Speaker D: Yep, we'll be there with bells on. Maybe fox bells, fox gloves, I don't know. Hi.
Speaker C: Hi.
Speaker D: Anyway, everybody up there in coffee break net land, have an amazing day. Hope you all have a great day. Take care of yourselves, Take care of each other. KB6LUV View of Love 73 clear and listening.
Speaker A: All right, well, seven threes to you and Bonnie and we'll see everybody tomorrow morning for the breakfast and the fox scent. All right. And yeah, enjoy this great, wonderful day here. I'm still looking at these nice beautiful blue skies here. Makes me want to get outside. All right, clearing with Brett. Next up go to Anna KD3AJN. Good morning.
Speaker E: Good morning, Tom and everyone else on the net this morning. It's in the 50s. Going to be in the 50s here today and tomorrow and then snow again. I look forward to that. But hey, it's still winter time. I'm spending some time with my grandchildren. My one grandson has down syndrome and it's such a joy to see his reaction when I get here. He just loves it when I'm here. So did the other kids. But it's just so amazing to see the one with down syndrome.
Speaker A: Well, it's nice to spend time with your grandkids here and I'm sure they enjoy you being there too, so. Sounds great. So you're not at your home, you're at your grandkids house?
Speaker E: Yes, I'm at their house. I'm in Newcastle, Pennsylvania. I'm going to be going back home tomorrow and it's been a nice couple of days to spend with them. Everybody have a good weekend and stay safe. Baby 3 AJN.
Speaker A: Okay, very good there, Anna KD3AJN and N6H for the coffee breaknet. All right, well you have an enjoyable time there with your grandkids and have a safe trip back home. And yeah, it's like your weather is pretty mild there so everything is good there and maybe you get a warm up next week going forward. Good to talk to you again. All right, this is the breaknet on the W6EK repeater I am Tom NN6H. I'm your net host and we do this every morning from 7:30 until 10:00am ish Pacific Time. So yeah, we're reminding people that tomorrow morning for people in the local area, we have a monthly breakfast. It's always the last Saturday of the month at Mel's diner on Highway 49 in Auburn, California. Then that starts at 7:30 and then after that 9:00 clock we'll have a meeting in the parking lot for the Fox Hunt. And this will Fox Hunt. The fox will be somewhere in the Greater Auburn area. Marty K06GXX will be tender. I have a meeting about that at 9am and then the fox will be turned on right after that. So join us for that. If you haven't never been to a Fox Hunt before, you can team up with somebody maybe that's there and kind of show you the ropes. Bring an HT that way. A lot of people have actually found the fox with just an HT and what they call body blocking. Basically using your body to block the signals and then finding out what direction the fox is and then heading that way. So it's always a fun event and it's a good social event. So join us for that for monthly breakfast and the Fox Hunt. Then we also have our club meeting coming up, which is next month on the 13th, March 13th. Friday, March 13th, that'll be at 7:30pm and we have a new location which is the Placer County HHS Conference Center. We had our first meeting there last month and it was a great place, a great venue, great location. And that's in Auburn. And so it's the Placer County HHS Conference center. And we're still bringing food donations for that. We're still trying to help out the Food bank of Auburn. So if you can bring some food donations, that would definitely be appreciated too. For that, then we have the Loomis Ham Fest. That's almost less than a month away. That's March 28th. March 28th, 7am in Loomis, California. It's our big event for the club and it's the first ham fest in the Northern California of the year. So that's at 7am for buyers and 6am for sellers. The Loomis Ham Fest. You can get more information about that by going to w sixek.org and if you're also in the area and you're part of the club or just nearing anyone, we're looking for volunteers. We need people help with parking and safety and set up and Tear down. It doesn't require a big commitment of time, but it gets you there and helps out there. So if you can do that, you can also sign up@thew6ek.org and we do offer donuts and coffee for volunteers, so you might want to consider that. But it's also a great social event too. All right, I'll go ahead here and let me open up here and I'll do some more rag 2 or we can do in and outs here. So it's going to be in and out. Let me know, I'll put you at the top. Otherwise we can do ragchu. So who's out there for check INS and N6H

And for those that missed it last night, the NorCal swap over on N6ICW is on a hiatus. We are not sure when or if it will return so. And if you have any questions about it, feel free to reach out to me. I'm good on QRZ and other social medias like YouTube. With that I'm gonna have a relaxing day I hope here waiting for package to come in so I can get started on a setup here and a video review and whatnot. So that's it for me, Tom. I hope you all have a great morning. And yeah, Coffee Breaknet is live on YouTube. KG6NLW Good Morning Coffee Break and Tom, back to you.
Speaker A: Okay, Frank, KG6NLWN6H for the copyright now. So that was the, the news that was going to be announced there. Okay, well, sorry, sorry to hear that. And like some, some major changes there. Any other details that you can elaborate on.
Speaker B: Without getting too personal or rubbing people the wrong way? There was some QR Mary that just wouldn't go away and because of that certain people in charge said let's take a break. So taking a break we are. Unfortunately though, that means the potential death spike for the NorCal swap.
Speaker A: Yeah, definitely. It's hard when you stop a net, then people get out.

Speaker A: Of the habit of going there. Well, I'm sorry to hear that. That's. That's a sad thing that happens and I'm sorry that that's happening to your net there. I know I've listened to it before in the past and it's a very popular net.
Speaker B: Indeed it was. So you know, Armand has been doing it since about 1998 or so and in the last year here I took over the. Because he was having some health issues
Speaker C: and yeah, it just, it didn't. Yeah, I'll leave it at that, Tom.
Speaker B: Don't want to get too, too detailed on here and I, I can get detailed anyway. NN6H KG6MILW Coffee Breaknet have a great day.
Speaker A: Okay Frank, well thanks for letting us know and I'm sorry to hear that about, about the, about the net and the problems over there. So. Well, hopefully that, that hopefully that will get resolved and you can come back on soon. All right, you have a great day there. Thanks for letting us know. All right, my next in and out here and I think I have hope I have this call sign right was whiskey 6 Romeo Bravo India. Is that the correct call sign? Can get a name and location? Yes.
Speaker D: Tom and Annette. Yes, that is correct name. Here is Ron and I'm here in Paris, California sitting right next to Lake Parish, right on the dry side of the dam.
Speaker A: Okay. Is this your first time coming into the net, the coffee break net? Yes, the first time.
Speaker D: Found you guys on YouTube and figured I would come over here and say hello. Kind of like your form the way you got everything going. But enjoy it.
Speaker A: Okay, very good. Well and welcome to the Coffee break now. Yeah, we do this every morning, every seven days a week from 7:30 until 10am ish on this repeater. We are on All Star Node 51018 and EchoLinx. So yeah, you're definitely welcome to join us. We do it every day of the year except for a few exceptions when we release the repeater for some endurance runs and stuff that are happening in the Sierras. But otherwise we're here. We have different net control operators every morning. So this is a general rag shoe where we do quicken announcement. We also just do different topics and stuff. So you're welcome to join us and glad you found us. Yeah.
Speaker D: Enjoying it so far. Yeah, hearing everybody talk about the weather and I'm standing here, you know, with my third cup of coffee and flip flop shorts and a sleeveless shirt. Kind of feel bad but just planning on going out today with the Xyl and Doing our monthly shopping for the month, and that's about it. Just hanging out here at the house.
Speaker A: Okay, very good. Well, congratulations there and finding the net here. Yeah, we have Mark coming up here at WV6BJN, and he will give us a good weather synopsis up here in California and the rest of the country. He used to live in Modesto, California, and now he's moved back to Tennessee, but he enjoys the weather. So he will give us, if you haven't heard it before, it gives us a pretty good indication of what the weather is doing, why it's doing, what it's doing, and what's maybe coming up in the future there. So you might want to take a listen to that when you get a chance. All right, well, I'm glad. Thank you for checking in and glad you found us.
Speaker D: All right. Thank you. Enjoying this very much. And yeah, looking forward to the weather there.
Speaker A: Have a great day. Seven three. All right, seven three is to you there. All right, clearing with W6R Romeo, Bravo, India. All right, next up, I have another in and out is KO6MMI. Mike. Mike, India. Good morning. What do you have for the net? And can I get a name there, please?
Speaker E: Yeah.
Speaker A: Hello again, Tom.
Speaker E: This is Jeff. Juliet, Echo, Foxtrot, Foxtrot. I switched my antenna over, so hopefully my audio is a little better than what you got last.
Speaker A: Your signal came up. You're a little bit of white noise, but, yeah, you're Q5 copy now, so very good, Jeff. Thank you.
Speaker C: No, I just wanted to check in
Speaker E: and say good morning to the Net and that's all.
Speaker C: It's beautiful.
Speaker E: And the sun is blinding me out here on my back porch in Roseville. But, man, the trees are looking beautifully green after all this moisture we've had. Things look like they're alive out there in the world, and that makes me happy.
Speaker A: Yeah, I'm kind of next door to you here in Lincoln. And, yeah, looking outside, I'm in the backyard here. Nice blue skies, a little bit of clouds. But, I mean, it's a beautiful day. Definitely a nice day to go out and get things done.
Speaker E: I might query your knowledge for a moment there, Tom, with some Lincoln trivia. It's not really trivia. I don't know how long you've been living in Lincoln, but back in the, let's say, mid-90s, there was a kind of like a Foster's Freeze place in the actual Lincoln City Center. The old Lincoln City center. Before they put in the 65.5bath.
Speaker C: Do you remember the name of that
Speaker E: Little ice cream shop.
Speaker A: I think we might have a comment there. I have no clue since I've just been here recently and I'm kind of a part timer here in Lincoln. We had a comment there was probably the answer. That's the one I'm thinking about.
Speaker F: It's called a squirrel cage back in the it was right there in the corner would be Walmart on Main street there. I've only lived here for 58 years.
Speaker E: I remember it being called Bruce's.
Speaker C: I think that's what I heard but
Speaker E: I didn't quite copy and if there's a Walmart in the old city center now I'm that'd be news to me.
Speaker F: The new Walmart took over Rainbow which took over one previous to that. That used to be school that way back in the day where that was at on Highway 65 middle there.
Speaker E: I do remember Rainbow. And was I correct on the name Bruce's?
Speaker A: It was Bruce's and then it was Squirrel Cage and now it's Mr. Pickles. I
Speaker E: that's the one. Thank you. I could not find that for the life of me. Even with all my Google kung fu. That'll be it for me. Thank you for hitching that little scratch in my brain and scratching that hitch in my brain. I should say good afternoon, good evening, good night to the coffee break. This is K06MMI wishing you all 73 clear.
Speaker A: Okay, very good there, Jeff. Well yeah, I did not know that little bit of history there. And also thanks to Larry there. Yeah, I know where the Walmart is. It's not a full size Walmart. It's what these what they call these Walmart community type of stores. And yeah, it's almost like the size of a Safeway type of thing. So maybe it was that REMO market that you talked about then the Mr. Pickles is kind of right across the street there on the side street.
Speaker F: Just kind of a little hole in the wall place.
Speaker A: You could almost miss it. But yeah, so I didn't know that that was Bruce's before. Interesting. Well thank you for that trivia. I guess I'm learning a lot about Lincoln here from the coffee breaknet this morning. All right Jeff, well thanks for checking in and thanks for bringing up that information. So clearing with K06MMI my next in and out is N6RJM Romeo Juliet. Mike, I don't see you in the log here. So I don't know if you New time a new user or new user a new listener to the net here and get a name and location, please. November 6th, Romeo, Juliet. Mike, are you there? And then 6h. All right. I guess we'll have to put him as in and out there. All right, so those are all the in and outs I have. So let me go to my rag shoe. And the top of that would be Mark. WB6BGN. Good morning, Mark. I guess it's Phil. Good morning. Yeah, good morning to you. And how are things in Tennessee?
Speaker C: Hey, thank you, Tom. Hey, things are great in Tennessee. Let's see what, what's going on here. Not much. Hope things are good with you. Sarah and I are doing good and looking forward to a good weekend. My birthday comes up on Sunday and I plan to have a nice big steak dinner. Sarah's gonna fix a steak and taters and steak and potato dinner. Get a big baked potato, eat all the stuff that I'm not supposed to eat on my birthday because I can. Because I can, especially on my birthday. So that's the day I will splurge there.
Speaker E: Go ahead.
Speaker A: Okay, very good. So when is your birthday?
Speaker C: Sunday. This coming Sunday, March 1st.
Speaker A: Okay. Well, I guess early. Happy birthday to you.
Speaker C: I won't be here on Sunday more than likely because I'll be going to church and then we'll come home and so I'll miss the the net on Sunday. But it'll be a nice day and hope you're doing well. And it looks like, it looks like some pretty good weather for California. It looks like it's going to come in like a lamb. Might be a little light rain for places in California, but how are things with you? And then we'll talk about the weather there. Go ahead.
Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, things are doing good. Last night attended Ray KK 6am kind of impromptu memorial we had at the Brewsters and had a lot of people there, saw Thomas and Christina and yeah, just had a good time there kind of talking and celebrating that and then this morning waking up having nice blue skies. So yeah, it's a good day there. It's also a no brainer day. So kind of a relaxing day anyway. So thanks for asking there, Mark.
Speaker C: Had to wait for my no diet. Yeah, for me it's depending on when I get up. It's not no brainer day. It's no brain day. But hey, no, you know what? Good, good deal. Yeah, it's going to be a nice, nice weekend in. In fact it's going to be warm today. You guys are going to be in the 70s in the valley. In fact Modesto, when I was doing the other net check their Weather going to be 75 today and 78 tomorrow. Somebody said something about rain, I think. Yeah, there's a closed low pressure area that's going to today and tomorrow. There's a big high pressure area that spin off of Baja and that's what's causing the warm, very warm temperatures. 75 today in the 70s, mid 70s and then upper 70s tomorrow. And in fact places over in the Bay Area they were talking about. In some of the inland spots it could be warm enough that they're talking heat issues for those who have heat problems. So you know, there's record breaking temperatures. It could be over on the coast down in Southern California they're going to be having 90 plus degree temperatures in some of the areas. So it's a very, very warm situation. Then by Sunday that high pressure area is going to break down and we get what they call a closed or cut off low. That's a, that's a load that is not in the direct westerlies in the upper air westerlies that move weather from west to east. And so it's going to kind of come in and slowly meander kind of around and then maybe open up the first of the week and move on, drop into the Great Basin as kind of what they call an inside slider. But it'll cool things off. It could cause some thunderstorms from the northern Sacramento Valley up around Redding Red Bluff, into the central Sacramento Valley south of Chico and Red Bluff and into Oroville and some of that area just north of Sacramento. The further north you go, the better chance of some showers, maybe a thunderstorm and then also some thunderstorms in the foothills and Sierras. But it's, it's a very warm system. Snow levels could be up around 8,000ft, 7,500 to 8,000ft. Let me take a break. And then, and then. That moves on and then it warms up a little bit, but not like it was last week. There continues to be a little bit of troughing along the coast, but no real big rain situation. In fact, the 6 to 10 and 8 to 14 day starting off March is going to be temperatures above normal and precipitation below normal for California. So that's kind of the picture there. And I think tomorrow will be grand for the, for the fox hunt for you guys. So everybody going out to that and. Yeah, what a neat, what a neat celebration of life for Ray. I bet you guys had some tall stories to tell about Ray and I'll bet that was fun. I wish I could have been there because I bet There would have been some neat stories there, Tom. Let's see, I'll turn it back to you for any comments and then we'll talk about the rest of the nation. Okay.
Speaker F: Mark.
Speaker A: Yeah. WB6BJN NN6H. Yeah, it was just a good time last night. Just good celebration. Kind of remembering some of the Ray's comments and different things going on, you know, his love of the trivia, those type of things. And yeah, just his comments which is pretty classic there. So yeah, it was fun and good to talk about that and good to get together. So yeah, a lot of people came out to kind of celebrate his life and I think he would have loved that. All right, back to you there for the rest of the weather in N6H.
Speaker C: Yeah, I bet it was nice to see Christina and Thomas For a lot of people, they haven't been there in quite a while. It would have been better if they could have been here on a been there on a happier note. But hey, prayers continue to go to them for, you know, for the situation. I know it's a, that's tough. That can be tough. Yeah. So what's happening now is the, it's wanting to be spring back here too, Tom. And so what's happening is there's another little thing of cold air that's going to come down out of Canada, out of the Arctic. And it's an overrunning of cold air at the lower elevations. And then there's what they call warm air advection moving in out of the Gulf and there's a high pressure area that sits over. The Bermuda High. And that Bermuda High also starts to open up the Gulf for pumping moist subtropical air northward. Okay. So what's going to happen is that last piece of cold air comes in, brings some snow into the Ohio Valley and parts of the the Midwest, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Daniel in Illinois, if you're listening, you're going to get a little bit of snow, maybe some freezing rain tomorrow night and Sunday and maybe into Monday and then that goes away. And guess what? It gets warm. That warm air that's being pumped in above that cold air, the cold air goes away and the warm air wins. It wins the battle. And I mean we could be talking temperatures in the 60s, 70s, upper 70s in places, 60s and 70s even in the Midwest. And we got but there's a price tag to pay for that. Tom Let me take a break. And it comes with spring back here and it can be in the form of severe weather. And because there's still cold air to the north, and there's major warm air being pumped up from the south and from the Gulf, and it's going to.

Speaker A: To start with where down in Texas and Oklahoma over the weekend and pretty much go through next week and pretty much start going through next week for eventually the Ohio Valley, the Tennessee Valley and Kentucky. And that would cover me too as we start picking up thunderstorms and there's been no real signal yet for severe weather. But when you start getting this long term thunderstorm and waves, short wave troughs coming through with very warm air, at some point there could be an opening for some major severe weather. And that has been talked about. So we're going to be watching that as things really kind of settle into what could be the start of our severe weather season next week and into the following week and it could be a bit long term. So we're hoping that we escape that Back over there to you WB6BJ on there.
Speaker B: Go ahead.
Speaker C: All right. Yeah. WB6BJN NN6H for the coffee break now. It sounds like definitely some changes coming through for the rest of the country there. Yeah, I think everything here things are turning like spring like we're getting trees and stuff that are blocked and all that. So yeah, it's definitely enjoyable seeing this and hopefully this happens and hope you don't have any of the severe weather back there because of all that stuff too. All right, very good. Well, I guess thank you for giving us the weather forecast there. So any other plans here for your birthday on Sunday?
Speaker A: No, I'm probably going to maybe spend some time and watch some movies maybe with Sarah, maybe work a little, a little ham radio.
Speaker B: I don't know.
Speaker A: We're not planning on going anywhere for eating. We're gonna, it's gonna be all done here at home and we'll probably do pretty much the normal thing. I like to go to church on Sunday morning and, and then come home and have that meat steak day dinner with mushrooms and potatoes and she went to the, she went to Sam's Club just today and picked up a whole bunch of stuff. So sounds like, sounds like some good stuff for my birthday. So turn, gonna turn 74,
Speaker D: Tom and
Speaker A: I feel good, feel good for turning 74. So so far so good. It's been a good year and starting off so that's, that's a good thing. So back there to you, Tom, and I'm, I'll say 73s and I'm going to wish everybody a real blessed day and a blessed weekend and we'll next week there.
Speaker B: Go ahead.
Speaker C: Okay there Mark. Well, you enjoy your birthday. It's like. Yeah, Sarah's going to take care of you there on Sunday and you'll have a great, great birthday there after coming home after church there. All right. And thank you for giving us the weather there and enjoy the nice temperatures going back there next week. And thanks for giving us all that you do there with the weather. And seven threes to you and seven threes to seven three to Sarah. And have a great Aloha Friday and a great weekend there. Mark. WB6BJN and then 6H.
Speaker A: 7 3s everyone. Everybody have a super weekend coming up. WB6DJ.
Speaker C: Okay, 73 mark. All right. And last on my list here is Greg K0 6th. Good morning Greg. Aloha Friday to you.
Speaker B: Good morning Tom. Good morning to the net, Greg.
Speaker A: KO6th lovely day today. Good day for getting out, doing some
Speaker B: yard work but the trash cans are full so darn can't do that. Do have some. Got some recycling to do and another errand to do and a few things around the house. Gonna order some stuff for the boat. I think I need to replace the seals around the windows, the hatches, the ones that open. There's a leak worse now than last time.
Speaker C: So.
Speaker B: Yeah, what do they say? When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging. I think I need to change tactics on sealing the boat up.
Speaker A: There was a good bit of water in the bilge.
Speaker B: Of course the pump took care of all of it except for the last inch. I just sucked that out just to keep the bilge dry. But yeah, got some work to do next week on that and hopefully the parts will come in soon. I understand it's a, a very annoying job to do. One window in particular seems to be the problem. So go after that one first. Anyway, on with the day. Ko6th. Okay.
Speaker C: Yeah. Ko6th and N6h so I know that you went down to Citibo yesterday. It was a beautiful day, I'm sure and probably looking out there and probably wanting to be out for sailing. But. But. So it was a good productive day yesterday.
Speaker B: Yeah, the day was intended to be and was a clean, you know, swab the deck day. So went down, got some vinegar solution and bucket of water and the bristle. Not a mop but a brush thing and had it at it. The bow is nice and shiny now. Everything looks good. So outside it's great. Of course. I mean the water from the hose didn't seem to leak in but somehow the rain did. So I got to track that down. Next time I'm down there probably next week and see what happens. I can't go on Monday because We have the bee session. Maybe Tuesday. I gotta check the calendar anyway, so. Yeah. But the day was very successful.
Speaker A: I do. I was tempted to go out with
Speaker B: it, but there was just wasn't enough time. And I need to get back in time for the Thursday night net and, you know, I didn't want to. We got daylight savings coming next week, so things will be a bit more conducive for later, staying later and coming back when it's so light out. So we'll see about what happens then. Anyway, yeah. So successful day yesterday. Swabbing the deck. Halo 6th.
Speaker C: Okay. Sound like it's a labor of love there. Yeah. Yeah. It's hard to believe that daylight savings is coming up soon here, but definitely looking out here and seeing the blue skies and stuff, you know, I guess I'm getting spring fever here. At least looking out. This seems to be nice here. And I'm sure that I'm going to have to do a little bit of weeding out here because the weeds are liking it too.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, the yard work, actually, I do have some yard work I can do. It is good. The weeds are definitely coming up again. I mowed them all down a little while ago, but they're sprout back up again. But I think the underlying tone of all the work right now is leaks. Not the kind you eat, as in leaky pipes. So we have leaky windows on the boat. We have. I have two sprinkler lines that have leaks in them. Daughter noticed one of the sprinkler heads had water coming out of it. It's. Wait a minute. The water is off. Why is there water coming out? Apparently that valve is not shutting properly. So I got to take that apart. And then there's a drip line running under. This is part of the yard that you know, it's got ground cover on it and it shouldn't have ground cover on. Was at one time just bark. But the ground cover has been taking hold quite nicely. Apparently the drip line that goes underneath there has a leak in it. And whenever that line is on, that area of the yard gets watered and it shouldn't. So I got to figure out what's going on there. It's apparently enough to support quite a bit of plant life, which is not a good sign. I don't even know where the pipe is. I know roughly where it is, but I gotta dig down and find the stupid thing. And I believe it is. Yeah, it is. So the drip wine you get at the store now is from what's the company Raindrip is the current favorite. I got this back when Misty was the brand du jour. And of course the two are incompatible by just a hair. So yeah, Thanks a lot. Yeah. 6th for incompatible signs there. Sizes. Back to you, Tom.
Speaker C: Yeah, the fun of home ownership, right. You know, getting especially this time of year. I've done the same thing where you basically turn on because your sprinklers have been off all year or all winter. Then you turn them on and then you find out, yeah, you have issues and you have to do some work there to fix it. At least it's better to turn it on early and find out that you have problems than later when you actually need it. All right, well enjoy your day, enjoy your task there and we'll talk to you next time there and hear more about your boat saga there. Finding leaks and stuff like that is always not always fun but it is a labor of love. Okay, clearing with you Greg. And maybe we'll see tomorrow morning at the breakfast at Mel's Diner. K06th NN6h
Speaker B: yeah, definitely see at breakfast tomorrow. And yeah, one of the mysteries of life is how an earwig can climb inside of a sprinkler. Sprinkler head. I don't know how they get in there. They sure make a mess when they turn the water back on. KO 68. 73 all talk tomorrow.
Speaker C: All right, 773 there, Greg. All right. This is the coffee breaknet on the W6EK repeater. I am Tom NN6H and the National Day. So let me go through that in case you want to know. It's International Polar Bear Day. It's. It's a no brainer day. We've been talking about no brainer day. It's a day to kind of relax. It's National Strawberry Day. And yeah, that's. So that's about all that stands out in my mind here. So Anyway, this is Tom N6H. This is the coffee brick net. We do have the breakfast tomorrow morning, Mel's Breakfast, which is our club breakfast which is always at the last Saturday of the month at Mel's diner on Highway 49 in Auburn, California. That starts at 7:30. You probably should get there earlier because the tables tend to fill up there and you may end up sitting in the kids section there. So 7:30 for Mel's Diner for breakfast. Then at 9:00 clock we'll have a meeting in the Mels parking lot. A pre meeting for the fox hunt. Fox Tender is going to be Marty K06GXX and so the fox will be hidden somewhere in the greater Auburn area. And then around 9:15, 9:30, the fox will be turned on and you'll be set loose to hunt down the fox. It's a great event there. If you've never done a fox hunt before, they're always fun. It's a good social event and you can team up probably with somebody that has done it before and learned the ropes. Definitely bring an ht. If you're going that way, you can use an HT to do some body blocking and kind of learn some techniques on how to locate the fox, how to zero in on where the fox is. So anyway, it's always great fun and it's a great experience. You don't need to be licensed to do it. You're just receiving the fox so you know you're not transmitting. So really anybody can do it there. So it's the breakfast and the fox hunt tomorrow morning at Mel's Diner.
Speaker B: Okay.
Speaker C: And I mentioned before, we have the Loomis ham fest coming up March 28th. This is our big, the club big event of the year. March 28, Loomis Hamfest. And we're still looking for volunteers. So if you want to help with parking and safety setup and tear down and stuff, it doesn't require a large time commitment and you get to, you know, walk around and see what, what's out there and buy some goodies. And we are offering donuts and coffee as an incentive for the volunteers. But it's just a good event. It's a half a day event. You typically are there the opens at 6:00am for sellers, 7:00am for buyers. We end up showing up around 5:00 clock in the morning. Get things set up and then you're done by noon time. So not too bad. And it's always a fun event and it's always a great sunny day too. We never have rain on the Bam Festival, so that's a given. So that's March 28th. So mark that on your calendars. All right, this is Tom NN6H and we'll go ahead here and open up for more check ins there. Let me do a quick round of in and outs here. Quick round of in and outs for the coffee breaknet.

Speaker C: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't. Didn't realize you were under the knife there. Well, I wonder if maybe your body is kind of depleted there and you picked up something.
Speaker D: Yeah, I'm not sure but it sure feels like it.
Speaker C: So.
Speaker D: Was not a fun experience. Let's just put it that way. So I was gonna go last night
Speaker C: but I just wasn't up to it. So.
Speaker D: Sorry I missed seeing Christina and Thomas and the gang so. But next time maybe. And you know, my, my thoughts are still out there for Ray. He's definitely missed.
Speaker C: Yeah, well we definitely missed you last night and yeah, I'm sorry that you're under the weather there. That's you know, oral surgery is never, never a good thing to get through. I've done has that happened to me and I've. In fact I was doing, doing some, I was doing seminars and I was doing two day seminars and stuff and I had oral surgery a couple days before that and trying to talk and do all that stuff with my mouth the way it was, it was definitely hard. So I understand how you're feeling.
Speaker D: Yeah, it's been like three days. So the swelling is finally starting to go down a little bit.
Speaker A: But I tell you what, I have
Speaker D: never had somebody use a hammer on
Speaker C: my tooth before but.
Speaker D: Oh my gosh, that is a skull power.
Speaker A: Didn't have an announcement.
Speaker C: Yeah, using a hammer. That is crazy. Did we have a break in there? I heard somebody come through. I think it was. I think it might have been somebody from the fire fireside network there breaking in. All right, Aaron. Anyway, sorry for that distraction there. Well, I hope that the whole surgery and stuff was worth it and that it going forward it's going to help.
Speaker D: Yeah, it's something I've been putting off for quite a while so I'm glad to have it behind me. I'll be even more glad in a
Speaker C: couple of weeks when it's all healed up, so that's about all that's been
Speaker D: going on in my life this week. So, anyway, good hearing from all of you.
Speaker C: Okay, Aaron, well, it's good to hear from you, too. And I. And yeah. And hope that you recover. And I hope that you don't get.

Speaker A: Sick there. So just take care of yourself and follow the doctor's orders there. Drink plenty of liquids and just kind of. It's no, no, no brainer day. So kind of just relax and just veg out. Definitely sounds like a plan. All right, everybody, have a great day.
Speaker B: I'm going to try to come tomorrow.
Speaker A: We'll see how I feel in the morning. Everybody have a great day. 7 3W1ATV. All right, 7 3. All right. So concerned with Aaron Watv. Next up, Jeff. KW6U. Good morning. Good to see you last night.
Speaker B: Good morning, everybody. KW6U yeah, it was really nice to see everybody there that went. And it was a crowded rift.
Speaker A: Yes, it was very crowded. It was a good turnout and I'm sure Ray would have loved it.
Speaker C: No doubt.
Speaker D: No doubt.
Speaker A: Yeah, it sounds like you're a little bit distanced from the repeater there. You're a little bit of white noise here. I'm not sure if you're quite holding the repeater up there, Jeff.
Speaker E: Oh, sorry about that.
Speaker D: I miss.
Speaker A: Yeah, we just got. Sorry about that. And then. Then you just dropped out there. So, yeah, you must be mobile or someplace away or maybe out on one of your training hikes.
Speaker C: On a hike.
Speaker A: Okay. I'm sorry, Jeff. You're just not keeping the repeater up there. So you have to move on here. If you're out hiking there, be safe and be careful. And we got you checked in here for the log there. Maybe you can check in when you get to a little stronger area there or do a recheck. So clearing with kw6u and n6h go to Brian ai6us. Good morning, Brian. Good to see you last night.
Speaker B: Hey, good morning, Tom. Everybody in the net.

Yeah, let's see a couple of things here. I was just trying to track down what club he was with up in southern Oregon. So I've reached out to a couple people to let them know and yeah, it was just an awesome thing to be part of the group.
Speaker A: Yeah, it was very good there. And yeah, a lot of good stories and a lot of great turnout for Ray. I'm sure he would have enjoyed that. And it was good to see Christina and Thomas.

Speaker D: Good morning, Tom. Good morning to the net. I'm back over in Redwood Valley and beautiful sunny morning. I'm just waiting for some of the warmth to follow the sun so I can get out and do some garden prep for spring gardening. Here we are. Been waiting for it all winter. It seemed like an extra long winter. I'm sure there's a little bit of it left to be had but time to time to get in gear.
Speaker A: Yeah. I think with our weather here, it sure seems like spring is here. Especially if you look at all the trees and stuff that are blossom. I mean I think it's kind of convincing us that it is spring. At least it feels like it.
Speaker D: Yeah. Just like everybody else. I got some blossoms showing up on some things that I wish hadn't bloomed yet. Some fruit trees that I planted without the best of hopes for fruit trees in this area because I didn't plan on doing anything extra wrap them or any of that kind of stuff. Plan them and whatever worked out, worked out. I went out about a week ago and looked at them and everything seemed to be looking pretty good. Even some little green nubs showing up on some of the branches and some blossoms on a few of them. And then I just did a tour a week later and the freeze in between was enough. Was a deep enough freeze. I think it a few of them out. It's yet to be seen.
Speaker B: Yep.
Speaker A: Well, I think definitely spring has sprung and yeah, a lot of the trees and stuff are showing that.
Speaker B: So.
Speaker A: But also means a lot of now work getting things pretty prepared and the weeds coming up and getting all that stuff knocked back down.
Speaker D: Oh, the weeds. The weeds, yeah. And the poison oak. There's plenty of poison oak on this property. So dealing with that and doing a little dog training and gonna do that next and enjoying listening to the net. And I'll turn it back over to you. KB6CD.
Speaker A: Okay, very good. Well, enjoy the time there. Yeah, poison oak, that's not something you want to deal with. I just have a small backyard there. I'm sure you have a much, much bigger area to worry about. All right, well, enjoy the this Aloha Friday and also the weekend. And good to talk to you there, Ed. Thanks for checking in. So clearing with KB6ed. This is NN6H for the coffee breaknet, Tom. Last on my list here is K06IDV. Good morning, Dan.
Speaker B: Morning, Tom.
Speaker A: How are you doing today?
Speaker C: Not a lot going on my end.
Speaker B: Just working away.
Speaker A: I'm sorry to hear about Ray.
Speaker B: It was always enjoyable listening to him
Speaker A: and Christina and Thomas getting on the
Speaker B: net and talking about their life and childhood and stuff like that. Thanks.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's interesting when you start listening to the coffee breaknet. You know, you listen every morning, you hear all these, you know, these different people get on there. You recognize voices, you recognize names, call signs, and you even start to learn their life history or their story or what's going on. And it's all like family. So it really hits hard when somebody
Speaker B: like that leaves us.
Speaker A: Yeah, I remember, I think when Christina first was getting on, she was telling
Speaker B: a story about when she was younger and driving a car and wasn't too appreciative of it. She grew older, really ended up being appreciative. Back to that.
Speaker A: I really remember that conversation and that net. But yeah, not a lot going on.
Speaker B: Like I said, just working away.
Speaker A: Wanted to check in and say hi to everybody and hope everybody has a good day.
Speaker D: And thanks for running the net today, Tom.
Speaker A: K06IDV. From you. And yeah, with Christina, you know, a couple years ago, we had a field day. We had a get on the air and I was running that station and at that point she had not had her license yet. And I guess, you know, Ray kept wanting her to get the license and stuff. Well, I think a couple months after that, she ended up surprising Ray by getting her her license and also getting extra going to extra class. So that was really a proud, proud day for Ray to know that she did that. And then Ray then also Christina learning CW and stuff. So whenever he talked about her, you could always hear the smile in his voice. So, yeah, we're definitely going to miss Ray. I mean, he brought a different flavor to the net and for the net control operators. So it was almost a challenge to get him to talk and to maybe cheer up a little bit.
Speaker B: But anyway, that was just Ray.
Speaker A: So anyway, we definitely won't miss him. Anyway, thanks Dan for getting in there and also bringing up those memories. So clearing with K06IDV. This is Tom. NN6H. This is the coffee brick net on the W6EK repeater. We're sponsored by the Sierra Foothills Amateur Radio Class Club. We're Also on All Star 51018 and on Echo link. All right, I'll go ahead here and open up for. We'll do our rag two. And if you want to be in and out, I'll put you at the top. Who's out there? NN 6 inch, N9 muf, km6lyw.
Speaker E: Craig in placerville.
Speaker A: Okay, I have a. I think it's Km6. I forgot what your suffix is there, Craig. A Km6 lyw. And then I got the N9M and I saw a K6 lbb. Were you trying to key up there? I think I heard some touchstones.
Speaker B: Yeah, I was just trying to disconnect.
Speaker D: Sorry about that.
Speaker B: Friends don't let friends DTMF AI6 us. Couldn't resist.
Speaker A: That's very true. So. Yeah. So K6LBB, do you want me to disconnect you?
Speaker B: Could you please?
Speaker A: You're a little quick on your response here. Do you want me to disconnect you there, please? K6LBB. Okay, I still didn't get the answer yes or no. You have to wait probably two seconds after you key up. Otherwise we get cut off.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: Would you please k6obb? Okay, very good. I will do that. 7:3. Okay, so I have two of my list here. I got km6lyw and I got n9 muf. Anybody else that I'm missing from this group? All right, Craig, are you an in n out or. It's not like you're mobile there. Are you in and out or are you ragtube?
Speaker E: I am somewhere in between. Probably an in and out.
Speaker A: Okay. Daniel, do you mind if I put Craig up at the top? Of course not.
Speaker E: Absolutely.
Speaker A: I'm here for the duration. Okay. Thanks a lot for that. Okay, Craig. Cam 6l y w. Good morning.
Speaker B: Yeah, good morning.
Speaker E: From Placerville, Shingle Springs area. Hopefully I'm getting through. It's kind of a stretch here. So. Yeah, I'm actually going to Dad's house. I'm going to meet with a real estate agent, going to try and sell the house. So I know we're not allowed to sell things in amateur radio, but if I wasn't on amateur radio, I would say if anyone wants a nice house in southern El Dorado county, we're trying to put something up for sale there. Otherwise I'm always looking for YouTube video ideas about data modes. I know FT2 is out. Hopefully some people have some F2 experience. That's something I kind of wanted to get into. Back to net control.
Speaker A: Okay there, Craig. Yeah, you're coming through okay. I mean a little bit thick at this scene, but I mean you're coming through solid. Well, if you want to talk about FT2, you should talk to Brian. Brian did it in the shack, which is what we do. On the second and fourth Wednesday of the month on Zoom, he demonstrated FT2.
Speaker E: Fantastic. Yeah, I don't know anything about it. So is it just 6 less than FT8 or is there some additional features? I wish I would have caught that presentation. So can you actually communicate or are you just changing, exchanging call signs and signal reports?
Speaker B: Go ahead.
Speaker A: Well, I will let Brian mention that. Brian, are you still listening AI6US?
Speaker B: Yeah, happy to. Good morning, Craig. Yeah, FT2 is just a subset of FT8 then FT4, FT2, it is a very short duration transmission. It does require a higher signal to noise ratio. It's about a 10.5dB attenuation for the short duration, but it's a little wider frequency spectrum. So yeah, it's a 3.75 second cycle and so a full exchange can be made in under 12 seconds. So that is quite exciting to D Expeditions and others who have great conditions. And just an announcement. It is now included in the new 3.1.0 WSJTX improved version and it is now just a dropdown and it's, you know, it's very efficient. I've done about probably 60 contests.
Speaker E: Yeah, copy that Brian. Hey, thanks for the info. Appreciate it. Yeah, so it doesn't break the laws of physics. You can be long and sure or
Speaker B: show slow and sketchy.
Speaker E: Yeah, that's cool. I guess JS8 kind of has that too. They have a fast mode, short mode,
Speaker A: but yeah, I look forward to it.
Speaker E: I'm always looking for YouTube videos.

Speaker A: Ideas.
Speaker B: That'll be a good one. All right, give it back to Net control. Thank you for hosting the net. This is KM6LYW Craig in El Dorado. Okay, very good there, Craig. Yeah, KM6LYW. And thank you Brian AI6US for giving Craig the synopsis there on FT2. Yeah, it was good to see your demonstration there in the shack. That's what in the shack is nice for being on zoom. Kind of like an Elmer now on zoom, but learning new things like that FT2. So yeah, I guess they have FT1 and FT0 is the next set of things. All right, very good. Well, Craig, well, yeah, and your signal is doing good there from Placer county there, El Dorado area. So very good. And good luck with the sale of the house, talking to the real estate guy. All right, so clearing with KM6LYW. And also check out KM6LYW radio on YouTube there for Craig's great video there. YouTube stuff and digipy. Also a lot of good information there for amateur radio stuff. All right, Next up, Daniel N9 MUF. How are things in Illinois?
Speaker C: Quick comment.
Speaker D: Good morning, Tom and Danette. Warming up, I think. Mark gave us some good weather today. So I'm trying to encourage my son to join me for a POTA and just started to get ready for that. So the plan for the day is. Well, it's. Let's just say the no brainer day was definitely for today.
Speaker B: Okay, very good there. Daniel, let me get back to you in a second here. We had a comment. Comment, go ahead.
Speaker C: Yeah, sorry about that, Tom. I was a little delayed there on the PTD button. Craig, KM6LYW. Just an FYI, Steve, KM9G did a whole livestream this last Monday on FT2 and Jim also has some information on it as well. So you know us youtubers, we have that back channel. So go say hi to Steve and see what he has to say about it.
Speaker B: That's all.
Speaker C: K2 6 Another ya.
Speaker B: Okay, thank you Frank for that. Craig, did you get that information? Yeah, copy that.
Speaker D: Thanks a bunch.
Speaker B: All right, very good. Thanks Frank. Okay, yeah, back to you there, Daniel.
Speaker D: All good, all good. It's just been kind of a molasses kind of morning, but fortunately I set up a lot of the to do lists the night before, getting them done in good order and like I said, hopefully a port of this afternoon. So I've already shut down my system, you know, the computer, try and keep it mostly packed up and ready to go anyway. But I pulled a few things out, so It'll be about 10 minutes and I could turn around and get on the road.
Speaker B: Okay, very good. So you're going to have a good weather today for doing a PODA this afternoon. I guess you're getting a storm coming through. So Monday's probably kind of out for a poda, correct?
Speaker D: Yeah, not in the mood for that. And I've got some paperwork I need to take care of on Monday, but today should get up to about 64 down where we'll be doing the PODA today. So very good weather and we'll work on transitioning over to CW. It'll be an FT8FT4 day today, but hopefully within two weeks to a month. I'd like to shift to a CW pota.
Speaker B: Okay, good. Well, it sounds like it's a good mix there. So have you looked at the FT2 that Brian was talking about?
Speaker D: Not yet. I'm going to let the dust settle waiting for that version of WSJTX improved to get into my distro repository. And I've been so into CW lately that the only time that I have done digital modes is either on a PODA or when demonstrating for others. So like I said, I'm waiting for things to if you will get out of alpha mode.
Speaker B: So you're sticking with the original digital mode, cw?
Speaker D: You know, people argue that it could be a digital mode. It can be interpreted by computers that it's Vericode. I have trouble with that, but yeah, very much sticking with it and like I said, trying to get it set up so that my son can join with me as well. I know he's learning cw, but I want to check out some decoders so that he doesn't feel like he's being left out if I put headphones on and just start operating.
Speaker B: Well, I guess I kind of think of CW as being a kind of a digital mode because, you know, digital has two states, right? You know, 01. Well, CW has two states, you know, a dot and a dash. So, you know, with that you can kind of interpret whatever you want there. Yeah, it's all semantics, but. But yeah, no, I think digital is good. CW is good for getting through. And yeah, I was mentioning to Robert earlier this morning that I think it's interesting how CW has caught on as being something that when before people were required to do it, people didn't want to do it, but now that it's not required, people kind of gravitate towards that after they get their license.
Speaker D: I think about a lot of the things that Our parents told us we needed to do in grade school and high school that we absolutely didn't want to do. And then once we became adults and got out on our own, we kind of went, oh, those were actually really good ideas. I think that's also where it kind of comes from. It's when you're told to do it, it's not as much fun as when you do it free.
Speaker B: That sounds like broccoli to me. My mom would try to force me to eat broccoli and I wouldn't do it. But now that I don't have to be forced to it, I eat it on my own.
Speaker D: Broccoli was never that way for me. I always loved it. For me it was always borscht, the rush to beat soup. And that was my mom. If you serve that, I'm making myself peanut butter and jelly salad sandwich.
Speaker B: Yeah, if you can get that option. Some parents don't do that. Yeah, very good. Well, it sounds like you're going to have a nice radio day and maybe a radio weekend or maybe you're going to be doing music this weekend.
Speaker D: We'll see. The plan before we go out on the puta. I want to participate in the K1 USN slow speed event. That's from 2 to 3 central time. So I'll be doing that before we head down. And then radio on Sunday. Saturday is going to be music. My music partner is coming out on Saturday morning. Hopefully we get some bandmates out and get good practice in and then sun Saturday night I've got. Well, it shifts back to radio because I'll be representing Whiskey 9 Whiskey at the Windy Con meeting.
Speaker B: Okay, very good. Well, it sounds like you got a full weekend and a lot of plans going forward there, so very good. Yeah, definitely enjoy the weekend and all the activities.
Speaker D: You know, that's been one of the good things about being out of work. I kind of stayed away from radio. I noticed the last two years of my job because after putting in a 70 hour week, I just didn't want to sit down at the same desk for a weekend contest. And so being able to look forward to weekend contest regardless of the mode, it's been a good thing. Being able to do quotas has been good and that's something I want to keep doing when I get a job. I'm not going to say yes, I'm going to get one eventually. Downside of it might be I'll be a little more limited on the nat, but yeah, there's never, it's never a clear thing so with that I should say 7:3 and let you get back to the net. Thank you very much Tom and nine mel.
Speaker B: All right, very good. Yeah. N9 MUF NN6H for the coffee breaknet. Well you have a great Friday, Aloha Friday and a great weekend and all your activities there and yeah, it's nice to be able to incorporate all the radio stuff there and also doing all the support and doing the teaching that you're doing too to help out new hams and new other fellow hams to get stuff going there. So very good and thank you for doing that. And that's kind of what this hobby is all about. Just helping other people out is nice too. All right, so Seven Three and you have a great weekend with N9 MUF. This is NN6H Tom Coffee Breaknet. We do this every morning on the W6EK Repeater All Star Note 51018 Echo Link. We do it from 7 until 10am ish Pacific Time and again like every day of the week. And we are sponsored by the Sierra Fidels Amateur Radio Club. I want to remind people we have the monthly breakfast tomorrow morning. It's the last Saturday of the month. It's gonna be a Mel's Diner 7:30 in Auburn, California followed by a fox hunt. Fox hunt will be there'll be a pre meeting 9am and then Mills parking lot. The fox will be turned on around 9:15, 9:30 and Marty Ko6GXX is going to be it's his first time being a fox tender and he'll be hiding the fox somewhere in the Auburn area. So check out, check that out. Anyway the fox hunt is a great event to go to. We do it every month and get a lot of good turnout for that. So for that all right I'll go ahead here and take, take more check ins here. I'll do if want to do a rag 2 we do that and then I'll do also in and outs. Just let me know and I'll put you at the top. Who's out there? This is Tom. November, November 6 Hotel
Speaker A: Whiskey 2 Victor X Ray Quick in and out,
Speaker D: K
Speaker E: A6UAI in and out,
Speaker B: K4lgi in and out. Okay thank you for for spacing everything out there. I got K4LGI as an in and out, KK6U for an in n out and W2VX for an in n out. So good morning Doug. W2VX
Speaker A: Good morning Tom. What a beautiful day it is. Got up early and I woke up Connor and He and I went for a walk this morning down to the corner to feed Biscuit the horse some carrots and then over to the park and then back and breakfast. And you know what? It takes a village to raise a two year old.
Speaker B: Yeah. And two year olds will keep you young too.
Speaker A: Yeah, it was a lot of fun. He had his first encounter with slipping off of the big boy swing, if you know, it was a pretty slow MO thing and he was only just kind of rocking back and forth, but the look on his face was, oh, I fell. And then he figured out he wasn't hurt, he just got up and he wanted back on.
Speaker B: So you know what?
Speaker A: That's a trooper if you ask.
Speaker B: That is. And that is all part of growing
Speaker A: up and
Speaker B: teaching him stuff. So very good. Well, did he. Is this his first encounter with horses?
Speaker A: You know, he's been around the house here. This is week three, almost the end of week three. So he and I have been going down to feed Biscuit the horse carrots
Speaker B: for the better part of that, except
Speaker A: when it was raining and he wakes up and he wants to go feed Biscuit and then he wants to have his breakfast and he wants to go
Speaker B: over to the park.
Speaker A: So he's got a routine. I think he's going to be lost when he goes back to Texas and I think his grandpa and his grandma are also going to be lost. There might be some good aspects to being lost because he's a lot of work, but he's full of joy.
Speaker B: Yeah, very good. Well, and he's going to miss grandma and grandpa too, so. Yeah, definitely. You're making memories, so, you know, treasure all that and you know, take videos and photos and all that stuff too, which I'm sure you probably have.
Speaker A: Yeah, I'd say there's probably gigabytes of videos and pictures. Yeah, you know, yesterday, it's a little disconcerting. I know this is a quick in and out, but the disconcerting thing was the neighbors security cameras caught a huge limb falling out of one of our oak trees. No wind, just a tree's probably sucking up water and limb just crashed onto the road. You know, it's kind of spooky. I look at my trees and I think, man, there's a lot of stuff that's gonna fall eventually. But I'm not getting out the chainsaw
Speaker B: yet except to cut up the stuff
Speaker A: that's laying in the road. So that's what I'm doing today. Tom73 sounds like everything started out okay on the coffee breaknet transmitters and everything must have been working receivers.
Speaker B: Yep, everything. Yeah, I checked this morning when I got up. I made sure to make sure we didn't have a. Have the problem like we had before, but everything seemed to be running well. So. Yeah, no emergency calls out there and yeah, that's kind of weird, kind of spooky when you get a branch just falling on its own with no wind, no nothing there. Anyway, I guess you have. Well, I know you have family there too today. So anyway, I want to say seven threes and also wish Iris a happy 90 birthday. Yep.
Speaker A: Thanks, Tom. Yep, 90 years old and still young. Should we all be so lucky? Seven three, WTVX.
Speaker D: I'm clear.
Speaker B: Yep, 90 years young.
Speaker E: That's good.
Speaker B: Anyway, congratulations to her. All right. And thanks for checking in there, Doug. And good, good to talk to you. I mean, we'll talk soon. So clearly wvx. And also say hi to Connor
Speaker D: and
Speaker B: enjoy him clearing with W2VX. Next I have Ron K A6UAI. Good morning, Ron.
Speaker E: Good morning K6UAI. Just wanted to jump in and say I'm glad that Lori and I were able to attend the celebration of life foray last night. That was very interesting and brought back some memories of listening to him on the radio. So I'm glad we were able to make that. And there was quite a crowd there and people talking story about Mount Ray. So that was a good thing. But anyway, that's about all I have for this morning. Another workday for a while anyway and then we'll see about the phasing into the Powhatan here as soon as possible.
Speaker B: Okay, very good there, Ray. Yeah, it was, it was nice good to see you and Lori last night. I just want to mention FYI, your audio is pretty, pretty low there. It's quite a bit lower than Doug and the other people on the net here. So just FYI that your audio is a little low. A little bit. I don't turn off the volume to hear you. Anyway, yeah, it was good seeing you guys last night and yeah, it was good to hear the stories and everybody talk about Ray and it was nice to see everybody showing up to honor Ray too.
Speaker E: Yeah, it was a good thing.
Speaker B: I'll see if I can fix my
Speaker E: audio here, go in and find my mic setting. Then you'll start picking up the noise of the guy with the blower or whatever it is where he likes to stand outside my, my window while I'm working for several minutes at a time. But anyway, everyone have a great weekend coming up. Should be some nice weather today and tomorrow and pretty nice on Sunday, too
Speaker B: with a little bit of shade.
Speaker E: So should be a good weekend. Ka6uai7 3, everyone.
Speaker B: Hey, Ron. Yeah, your audio, I think you might have spoke up a little better, maybe put the mic closer to your mouth there. Yeah, it was a little better that last time. Yeah. These microphones typically are noise canceling mics and you want to be kind of close to it when you talk, kind of talk, go over the mic and they don't pick up a lot of background noise. At least the ones for the amateur stuff that at least that I found Very good. Okay. Well, you have a great day there and hopefully you get some radio time in there too. So anyway, good to talk to you. Good to see you too. You and Laurie clearing with Ka6uai. This is NN6H next going back to Denver, K4LGI. Good morning, Sam. Good morning, Tom, everybody. That Ed here. Sam Wineko link from Denver, where it's nice and sunny and it's been windy
Speaker E: here day after day, just enough to
Speaker B: make it unpleasant to.

Speaker A: Enjoy the sunshine.
Speaker B: So.
Speaker A: And they're predicting perhaps a cold front coming in here. Yeah. You're sounding good this morning, Tom. Everybody. I've heard sounding good. The volume's a little low there on
Speaker C: uai, but you know, I'm glad to
Speaker A: hear some of the things that people are talking about. A lot of people showed up I guess last night honoring 6am and Ray sort of sad to think about that, but maybe if his daughter stayed here, didn't move to Tennessee, maybe he'd still be around. It's hard to say. You think about things like that. Not too much happening here. Got up, had breakfast and coffee, went back, crashed out for a minute or two, hour or two, got up, felt hungry again, had another breakfast. So I turned 28 today. So today is one of those special days when you complete a trip around the sun, have a nice evening there, a nice morning and day, weekend, whatever. K4 LGI.

And one last shout out for Ray KK 6am silent key. He will greatly be missed on this net and our club activities here. And anyway, we're really, really sad for that. And everybody becomes family on here and we get everybody's stories and kind of follow things along. And so it's sad when somebody leaves us like that. So anyway, rest in peace there, Ray. All right. This is Tom and F6. Hi. Thank you for everybody's conversation and check in this morning and we'll see you next week. This is Tom.NN6H sign 7 3. Everyone have a great Aloha Friday and a great weekend. We'll talk to you next time. NN6H clear. And returning the repeater and the nodes back to normal operation, whatever that may be.

Speaker A: Good afternoon. How are you? I'm coming in via All Star from Reno.
Speaker B: That is great. Great sounding also. I'm amazed.
Speaker A: Yeah, I figured I'd try it, see what it sounded like, see if anybody answered. I'm using my phone, using the phone app, so that's good to hear. This sounding okay.
Speaker B: Yes, it is, and the timing is fantastic. Also on the drop key. So, hey, when we get a chance, can we get together so I can get it set up?
Speaker A: Absolutely. I need to bring that radio down. May have some time Sunday or Saturday. I'll let you know.
