I will start off the roundtable as ncny, first and foremost, from me and my family, you and all of yours, we do definitely wish you guys a very happy Thanksgiving. And we really hope you guys were able to get some good grub. And as my youngest son likes to tell me, gobble till you wobble. Which I definitely lived up to that today. But yeah, we really hope you guys stay nice and well, first of all, warm and safe, and for any reasons you're out traveling around, we really just hope you guys stay safe, especially with the pod setting in. With that being said, if anybody wants to.

Come forward and has anything for the nets at this time. Please feel free. Just like to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. And I don't know about the safe tomorrow. I'm going to try to get out tomorrow and do some four wheeling looking for some snow, but probably won't find any. I don't know how far up I'm going to go yet, but we're going to try to get out get out of the shack tomorrow. 73 All Happy Thanksgiving. Katie 6 Lok it definitely sounds like a lot of fun, Doug, and I really hope you do manage to find yourself some snow. I know I've been missing that funny white stuff myself, so I hope you have fun and at least try to be somewhat as safe as you can. But it's definitely good hearing you out there, Doug. Anybody else.

Go ahead. Hearing none. I actually would like to ask a question of Paul W6TNH, if you are still there, sir. Yeah, go ahead. This is Paul. Thank you. Thank you. Question I got for you because I know we are definitely wheeling into the holiday season pretty quick here. What are we looking for for the next fox hunt for the Yuba Sutter Amateur Radio Club? Well, I hope to confirm this with Devin, but I think she is willing to run the next hunt and that gives Carla and I a chance to go hunt for it. So I believe we will have a hunt on December 6th.

Saturday, and that's just a little over a week away, so that's what I'm expecting. But I haven't confirmed that with Devin, you know, for sure, but I think she's willing to do that. Devin, if you're out there, feel free to chime in. Back to net W6B and H. In0dve hey, there's Devin. Go ahead, Devin. W E6AXM Receiver yeah, I'm willing to do the Fox Hunt. I just need to get the equipment from you, Paul, and have you show me how to make it work. Yep. I know I've still got that on my list of things to do, and I'll make that happen right away so that you have a chance to. To be comfortable with it. And I'll be in that.

Thanks. And that's good. I'm looking forward to being on the other end of the hunt. Back to you. W6P in H yeah, sounds good. Thanks a lot. N0DPE. Well, I just want to make sure both Paul and Dev as well as Carl on Casey kds. I want you guys to know that these fox hunts are definitely well appreciated and a lot of fun. I know I've always enjoyed them and it's very appreciative that you guys are doing that for the club and for all the hands in the area. So I just wanted to make sure that you guys knew that, that, you know, your guys hard work in this hobby is definitely being noticed. So thank you guys.

At this time. I will open it up and see if we have any others who would like to check in for this evening. If so, please come now. Good evening to the Net. This is kilo foxtrot 6. Hotel, hotel, hotel Dan and Woodland Yellow areas. Just wanted to say happy Thanksgiving to everybody. Thank you Dan. We got you checked in. And very happy Thanksgiving to you and yours as well. Is there any others would like to check in this evening? Please come now. Neil, I'd like to thank Paul for working on making it maybe a little bit easier for Doug to pay his dues. The receipt came back.

And so I am now a renewed member for the Yuba Sutter Amateur Radio Club, and I suggest that anyone that's thinking about it just go to their webpage and renew your dues while you're thinking about it. Thanks, Paul 73 KD6 Lok. I'll go ahead and chime in there and say thanks for the feedback, Doug, and I'm glad to know that worked for you. And just so everybody knows the dues, the link is available on our web page, and it makes it real easy to get to a PayPal spot where you can just put in your info and get it paid. So we appreciate that. Back to net 76P and H. Well, thank you gentlemen for that. And actually, you know, here's what we'll do. This is a a holiday of the.

Giving thanks. So what I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna go down the list that I have here of check ins and if you would like, or you could pass if you, if you would like when you are called, why don't we see if we give something or express something that we're giving things of for this season. So I will definitely start off. I'm very thankful and grateful for not only for all the members of the Yuba Sutter Aries team, for making this organization possible and getting us to where we are with the Aries team, but also to all the outstanding ham radio operators we have out here not only just as voices on the radio, but could be extremely good friends, you know, whenever the call arises.

I know ham radio has definitely been extremely beneficial in my life, not only for the emergency services side of things, but also for my mental health as well. So I'm thankful for each and every one of you guys and gals that come and check in every weekend. And it seems like whenever I pick up the mic, there's somebody out here. And I really, really appreciate that. So with that being said, I will let's give KN6PWW a call and see if you'd like to join in on this. Possibly an in and out. So. And Doug gave one of his Katie sits. Okay. Is there anything else, sir? Well, I can't say I'm.

Much better than what you just did there. That, excuse me, being thankful for the ham community that they're there when you pick up the mic. Yeah, it's been an exciting, if I can use that term, seven years since the campfire. And I kind of regret that I didn't do more myself during that period, during that first couple of days, but learned something. And so next time, next emergency, Doug will be a little more prepared to maybe help some more folks. But again, thank you and Aries for being here. I appreciate myself even though I have not become a member of any Aries. I'm kind of a loner. But appreciate it again. Happy Thanksgiving, folks. 73 KD6LOK. Thank you, Doug. And you got it.

In a position like what you were in, you also got to take a step back and realize you had a lot on your plate while all that was going on. So that's definitely understandable, sir. So awesome. Thank you very much. How about K6 Gab?

Very well said, sir. Thank you very much. How about K6HFP? Hey Neil, thanks for calling back on me. Definitely thankful for friends and family. And I've been in the hobby for about, say, going on about four years, well, maybe five years now. And even though I haven't got much into HF yet, still planning on still excited to get stuff up and doing that. But I was gonna say definitely thankful for all the radio friends out there. This is a fun hobby. And Aries definitely is a great group to be involved with. So thankful for Aries. And yeah, hope everybody had a great day today. And that's all I got for now. Back to you, Neil. K60.

Hfp. Oh, thank you very much, sir. Yeah, it's. I never found a group of people in my life, you know, quite like, quite like the radio people. So it's definitely, definitely something that I'm thankful for every day. So how about we'll go to cable 6BGY, are you still out there? Good evening, Neil, KO6BGY, Paul and Calusa. Thankful for family, friends, amateur radio, community, and just to be alive and have, knock on wood, good health. So we'll pass it back to net control. Ko6bgy, Happy Thanksgiving to all. Thank you, sir. Yeah, when you said, you know, good health, I said noxious.

On wood, and instantly, I knocked on my own head. So there we go. Thank you, sir. W6PNH. Yeah, thanks, Neil. I appreciate you and your. Your role in keeping this group together. And, and just the, the friends that come from ham radio and of course, my family, they support me and all this stuff. I do. And so, anyway, there's a lot to be thankful for out there, and I'd like to put out a thanks to WD6AXM for the use of this wonderful repeater. It's such an asset to the whole, certainly to our community, but far and wide, it's a great repeater, so appreciate all that. Okay, Back to next W6P and h. W. Yeah, definitely. Especially, you know, this, this repeater.

D.

I can honestly say, you know, it's WD6XM. Allowing the use of this machine has been phenomenal. And quite literally lifesavers from anything from Oroville before Thorville Dam, before I was a ham radio operator, to the campfire. You know, this repeater has definitely come come in clutch number numerous times. So, yes, definitely with with WD6XM. I'm fully with you on that. Thank you, Sir. How about Brad KF6riw. So thank you, Neil. This is Brad KM6R I W. And I'm thankful for old friendships. I've since I've gotten old, I've reached out to some people that I have been out of touch with for 50 years. And it's been so pleasant to get back in touch with some of those people. So.

W6 rhc repeater check 3.

So, you know, if you're looking for something to do, you might consider reaching out to one of your old friends and find out what's going on. So back to you, Neil. Well, thank you, sir. Yeah, that's one thing a lot of people, you know, over time, people tend to grow apart, sometimes reconnecting and, you know, just. Just getting back in touch and, you know, finding out what's happened over the years is awesome. So thank you, sir. Thank you for sharing that. How about Devin? N0dve? How about dan? Kf6 hotel, hotel, hotel.

Okay, Well, I don't want to hold up everybody as this is a holiday and I would like you all to be spending time with family and friends. So what I will do at this time is I will open it up for any further check ins for this evening and then, yeah, we'll be closing it out. So you all get back to your celebrations. So if there's any further check ins, please come now. Yes, Neil, this is Carla K6 KDS in Yuba City with a late check in. Thank you, Carla. I do have you checked in. Is there anything you have for the net this evening? Well, I was listening a little bit there and I can say, you know, I'm definitely thankful for a lot of the same things as everyone else has stated. I can say I'm thankful that I didn't overcook the turkey this year, but I'm.

Also, on another note, just very thankful for health and blessings of family and all that. You really think about that this time of year. And that's it for me. Back to you. Thank you, Carla. And of course, I do have you checked in and it's much appreciated. Any further check ins, please come now. KJ6PKQ, Jim and Chico, Thank you. Jim, I got you checked in.

Good morning. KN6MGK. Done. Listening to 80 meters back over to 40 meters. Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well out there and it's going to have a good, productive day. KN6MGK. Good morning. Yeah, it turned out okay, actually. Yeah. Yep. I was listening there. Them guys on 80 meters. I switched over to 40 now. I heard you come in earlier. Sounded good. Yeah. We ended up going to dinner at Feather Falls Brewery. And being as I thought it was gonna be really busy, I was totally wrong. It turned out to be, you know, not as busy as I thought. So that's good. Got right in. Got a nice table and a nice big, full rack of ribs.

Clam chowder and salad. And oh, man, it was better than most turkey dinners I've ever had. Well, we shared the full rack of ribs. I mean, we brought some home. I think we brought half a dozen of them home. So. Because we add. We add the salad and the clam chowder, and they have quality food over there. So, yeah, it's not like just iceberg lettuce, you know, it's all the spring mixed greens and candied pecans and tomatoes, cucumbers and stuff in the salad. Clam chowder. I haven't really found in this area a better clam chowder. So I've been to the coast before and found some that was better. But, boy, recently, no clam chow.

The Oregon coast. It was. It was worse. And it cost way more, too, so I think it was about 50 bucks for both of us.

Yeah. Well, that's good that you have leftovers. And it was a real ham. I'm betting she got you a nice quality one, too, like from a good butcher or something, like a Wagon Wheel up there in Oroville or something like that. Which case, that's going to be some good eats for quite a while. Oh, yeah. Well, we. They were giving turkeys away down here. If you, you know, if you go to grocery stores and spend X amount of dollars, they give you a free turkey anyway, so it's pretty easy to get a turkey like that every year shopping normally. So. But nevertheless, we had our turkey a few, you know, about a week ago, I think is when we.

Had one because we had. It was a frozen one. I didn't want to stick it in the freezer. So I say just throw that in the ice chest in the garage and let it defrost. And when it's defrosted, we'll cook it. So we ended up cooking it, like, about a week ago. We've been eating on it still.

Well, it is 7:05am on Friday, November 28, 2025. So I think that's why the prices are what they are. It's not. It's not even 2019 anymore. We've had Covid. We've had all kinds of stupid hoaxes and things and now we have the tariff war. So that's what it is. But believe me, it's not a tax on America and everything is cheaper than it was before. Lol. Yeah, well, that's what it was in the movie or whatever. 1984, the book by Orwell say.

They actually say a higher amount of chocolate rations, you know, that people are going to be restricted and everyone jumps up for joy, you know, they're going to be restricted more. Yeah. How about like, well, so we throw the National Guard on you so that you can feel more security. In the meantime, people are walking around with machine guns, you know, in your town, and you're all happy about it because you feel like you're going to be more secure. Then a couple of them, unfortunately, and tragically get shot and murdered. And then what's the result? We're going to put more of them on the streets for you see, that's how it works. And then people will jump up for joy. So pretty soon there'll be, you know, thousands of military on the streets of America, and it'll be just like other third world countries. I've been to.

Yeah, well, you said the right thing to advertise. And people are watching TikTok and YouTube and you watch one video and think that's the way it is for everybody, for everywhere and every time. But, you know, where did they place them? I hate my computer sometimes. Ridiculous. Why you get all these ads. He's popping up everywhere. Yeah, that's. Can't stop that from happening. So anyway, yeah, let's say where homicides are in the towns that are bad, like Chicago.

For instance, looks like in 2025, for instance, it's down. You know, I'm trying to look up how much according to this article. That keeps going. But anyway, it looks like 2025. It looks like about a third less homicides, 140 people less killed than in 2024 so far. But in those areas, and it's broken down by community, but that's one of the areas that they're talking about bringing in the National Guard. Right. Is Chicago, the Chicago area? Well, right now, I don't believe they've done that. So they're bringing them into Washington, DC.

Doing okay. Doing okay. Yep. Good morning to you. Sound good this morning. Yep. Hope you're doing well. And I hope you had a good Thanksgiving. Yeah, I ended up going to Feather Falls Brewery over there and having a real nice meal about five o'. Clock. So wife and I shared a full rack of ribs. We did. We brought a few of them home. Yep. And you know, all the fixings, the green beans and a full on baked potato and we had a. Shared a bowl of clam chowder and a nice salad over there. So yeah, it was pretty darn good, you know, and no cleanup, so cost wasn't too terrible. Anyway, it's good quality food over there.

W e6a x n repeater.

Yeah, they can put out some for the price and so forth. They. They put out some good stuff and it wasn't too busy. Now, back to you.

Well, yeah, I'm making my cup of coffee right now for the wife, so I'll be occupied for a few minutes. But I'm going to go up there to see y' all at Starbucks at least. Yeah. Maybe figure out something for lunch after that, if anyone's interested. I don't know. If not, that's fine. I'll just work down there at paradise for a little bit, maybe a couple of hours, and then head on home. Yes, I do have a couple of hours worth of stuff I could do at the property over there. Maybe it'll be a little sunnier than it has been here, so I'll enjoy some sunshine, fresh air. That sounds good to me. KN6MGK because I haven't identified yet.

Well, it's interesting, Jay, on Weather Underground, they're not showing. This is partly cloudy and no rain. So I don't know. I don't see any rain at all in the forecast for 10 days. Yeah. So it gets close at that point, but I mean, that's pretty hard to predict 10 days away.

Hey, can you guys hold it down? There's people trying to sleep out here. Good morning, doll. Yeah. Yeah, that's what you should do. You see, I. I got old Derek the other day pretty good with my. With my gnome. Alaska, while it was up on the mountaintop. Yeah, I thought I heard some gaveling going on here late. Yeah, he fell for it. Six, nine, six, six, nine.

The garage where they come out and try to attack me.

696 Nome, Alaska 696 and he came back to me and I jousted him about. Man, this antenna must be working. You can hear me even if I whisper. All right, well, good morning. I'm gonna go make some coffee and 6 mtm. I think me and Lori are going up to get a Christmas tree from. I couldn't remember his name earlier, but anyway, up in Sterling City saves a tree every year from the fire.

Department. It's Friday after Thanksgiving. Thursday. Yesterday she went and did the turkey trot down there in Chico. 4K, 5K. And today she gets off before the weekend. She's. She's living in tall cotton. I heard her. Hey, good morning, Lori. I heard her voice back there correcting you. I guess the last one they did up here was 4K. Then you did. Damn. Damn this station, I tell you. Well, good morning, Steve. All right. Well, anyway, I'm in the background listening to you guys.

I think Blake ought to go for coffee. Yeah. Yeah. Well, maybe I could try to get going early enough here to meet you over there at Cozy.

Jay, would you be interested in putting the meshtastic app on your phone and taking one of these here nodes with you and playing with it up there in Magalia? Alright, I'll bring one with me that you can play with, see if you can hear anything on it. You can always adapt it to an outside antenna like I have on this discone here. Whatever. But yeah, you'll just have to put the app in your phone.

D.

Well, that's too bad. I wanted to meet you and show you some mesh tastic and get you involved with a mesh tastic node. But maybe Jake can fill you in. That would be nice. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving. Kilo, November 6th. Mike, golf. Kilo.

I normally get on the Nevada statewide net in the morning. That'll go as normal. Yeah. So. Yeah, just be kind of quiet. Otherwise.

Than whatever else is going on this weekend. Okay yeah I was having a problem with my the Raspberry PI that I used to do dstar it kept crashing on me it's one of these ones with that separate transmitter module or GX module that connected with a USB cable I forgot TV something whatever anyway it would just work for a while then I then I'd be listening to people I started getting what sounded like packet loss which is basically dropouts was really I guess it would anyways it was just dropouts and then it was just completely all seize up and then it would just throw out a carrier an analog RF carrier and I have to reset it I was like crap so I'm messing with it thinking I got to re blow the SD card or something I got corrupted and just for the hell that I thought you know troubleshooting 101 if something doesn't act if something doesn't work right check the DCC rail and.

I put a scope on the output or tap off point on one of these wall warts I had for the 5 volts and bigger than shit. It had all kinds of noise on the D.C. and I threw out the wall wart, plugged in a new one, and it's been Fox solid ever since. It's funny how that stuff is, you know, I bought a Zoom Spot. Going to take that back to North Carolina. Not doing that. I just took the RFinder, which, by the way, I'm on right now, and I had all kinds of packet issues with it. You know, you log on to the, to the firmware, you know, use the WI fi and to other things and we're showing like huge error rates everywhere.

I didn't know what to do I tried everything moved the thing around you know rebooted it so on and what turned out to be with the router itself shirt in the house and I just ended up rebooting the router and it's been clean ever since so weird stuff. Yeah I've had some real weird stuff in my network here down in just have to go through and just turn everything off and back on right but yeah over the years I've found out that these cheap wall warts that you get with a device or sometimes you get on Amazon nothing but pain I had a problem years ago on 80 meters and it was over the holidays so I thought it was just the neighbors bicycle lights and stuff like that noising up the van which happened to me around this time of the year anyways long story short it ended up being a bad wall wart in my house and the way I figured it out is I just.

I'm just gonna. I'm gonna. I'm gonna go the niggular option. So I put my. My radio on a battery, and I hit the mains in the house. And the noise just went from, like, you know, 10 over nine to, like, S5. I'm like, all right. So I just went methodically through it and turned on a breaker at a time until I found the breaker that was the. The culprit. And I took an old AM transistor radio and walked around the house in that area where that breaker was, and I went for max noise. And I found the wall work. You get a little bit of. Audio distortion, a little bit there here and there. I got POC radio. Now let me swear I was on Red Mountain on my high post. Now, this will be better.

Well, I mean, it was clean most of the time. And then it had sounded like garble, audio garble, like you're going through. I guess they like backup loss or whatever it was. But anyway, no, it was clean most of the time. It's hard to tell, but. Yeah, you're good there. Yeah. Anyway. Yeah, even some of these USB charging ports, you know, end up putting jokes on some of the lines as well. So anyway, most of the time it works good. But you never know. You know, the most luck I've had with wall warts, or whatever you want to call them, is made by a company called Anchor A N K E R. And they're a little more expensive than.

You know, whatever generic things get. But they're, I mean, they're not like, like double or triple the price, but they're a little bit more. And I found out I've had a lot better luck with those guys and reliability and even, even the cables they sell, you know, the USB cables, much more rigid, are much more higher quality, and they don't break as easily. You know, they're certified for higher speeds. As, you know, with USDC anymore, there's so many different protocols and currents of things can source out and things of that nature. So I've kind of relied on those. All right, well, anyway, hopefully my audio has been good.

Into angel all along. I ended up buying the. The high battery pack for this radio had such huge difference. The other one came with your finder. It would, you know, you get low voltage and it cut off, stop transmitting. I couldn't carry on a fusel at all. But this thing's been great. Well, yeah, had it on for like several days. I'm still at 40 on it, so I'm happy with that anyway. And much else. Just sent the daughter out to go get coffee. TB7REO okay, I'm deploying the driveway. Fellow373 thanks for the shout. And you know, you sound good. We've done a lot of things on angel that reduce that. That saddle noise. Not all the way gone, but it's a lot better. And we're still working on something. Sounds good. The audio is good. Deviation is great.

So. Yeah, happy should be happy with it. And I'll talk to you later. Yeah, you come think of it. Yeah, I haven't heard much noise on that Angel Peak machine, so. Yeah, it's been good. 57 REO considered.

Gets me excited. All right, well, the jammer is getting frisky. Jammer. See, he's in. He's somewhere in between me and you, Chris. But, yeah, he's like 50, about 55 over S9, so he's in that direction. That's because he's running probably very, very, very, very low power. Mel, where are you? There he is. 60 over S9. Way to go. Wait a minute, are you doing a potash?

Hey, I asked me out because he likes the putas. Yes. No, he's working on some electrical. It's official business. That's what he's doing. All right. Clayton, California. You're gonna have to do better than that. We're trying to jam the signal, but it's not working. So now his signal dropped to an S9. So, yeah, he's just running really, really low power, especially if Jim cannot hear him. And Jim is, like, right there. So, yeah, very low power, but that's not gonna work.

Okay. Yeah, he's definitely over here near me. Probably in the city of Clayton. Eating a banana. Hang on. You're interrupting the entertainment from the Jammer. Come on, Jammer, say my name. No, not you guys. The Jammer. I want the. I want the Jammer to say my name. Oh, now the Jammer's got shy. Maybe he's jealous now because somebody else is giving me attention. That's a yes, Jammer. Can you just call me Daddy? You keep saying you want to go inside.

Of me. Why would you? Well, maybe you are, you know, that way. I mean, I. You know, nothing against you, but it's. You know, if you like boys, that. That's a little weird. Yes. Yes. Maybe he likes me. I think he does. So he tends to follow me around a lot. It's really weird. Oh, I've got a friend. I got friends. Oh, that's great. Oh, is the fog still out there? I haven't checked on the fog. Oh, yeah, it's still there.

You're right to the gentleman way out there in the distance. Yeah, I think we're. Oh, I didn't bring my 6 meter antenna. Even though this little antenna will work on 6 meters. So let me go out there and switch antennas. Wait. Or does anybody have 10 meters? Maybe we ought to do like 29.6. Okay, Jammer, you have won. I will let you have the frequency. Now, since you won't let me listen to anyone out there, I am going to disconnect my radio now. Oh no, Jammer. Now your signal is much stronger. It is?

D.

Too much stronger for me. I will get rid of my radios now on Craigslist. Yek. Come on in. You know, this voice sounds awfully familiar. I wonder if it's that control operator from that. Yeah, well, you can do 29.6. Okay. Give me a minute to screw in the antenna and I will be on 29.6. 29.6 FM. Of course, you knew that already. All right, Jammer, before I hit the stop button.

Lee, good friend of mine, he's the one that got me an All Star and talked me into reconfiguring or using All Star so I back on. So our analog radio network never do the other one. Excellent. All right. I'm sure it worked out well. All Stars at best. It's so versatile and programmable. Yeah, you can't go wrong with it. I've been using it for years. It's. It's great. All right. Later. KM12. Yeah, I agree, but we. I still keep our 420 link radios up in the mountain.

Back up every now and again. Nothing in Milwaukee or we lose connection or microwave link goes down. And I switched over to our 420 network or radios which maintains the connectivity. But as you know, when you got multi hops like we've got, you know, by the time you get repeater A to repeater D, you've got all these pickup times. So. And of course degradation of audio quality. So yeah, All Star is definitely prefer it if it's things are up most of the time it is okay. Anyways, take care. Excellent. Just one last job. I had a 2 meter repeater and I had a 440 repeater and I had a 220 megahertz. That was my backbone link to the house. And I had A s car of 73 30.
