This is EO6.AXL just got my license recently and wanted to see if anyone's out there. Yeah, there's probably a few of us out here. How you doing? When did you get your license? Doing. Well, I just got it maybe a little more than a month ago. Okay, well, let me look. Yeah. What. What is your call sign? Kilo oscar 6. Kilo x ray lima.

Okay. So are you john from san francisco area? It sounds like you're not making either. Just to confirm, are you John from San Francisco? Correct, john from san francisco.

Wow. So it looks like you have zero lookups. No. No lookup. So when that changes to one, I may be your very first lookup. Well, hello, John, and welcome to the system. And welcome to the hobby. The name here is Ken, and I am N6KN E. If you look me up, it says I'm in Victorville, but that's not where I live. That's just a mailing address for me. I'm actually down here in Boosta. Gasiga, Colombia. Was that n6axl? No, My call sign is.

November 6th. Kilo, november echo or n6. Kenny. My name is ken. Copy that. Good to meet you, Ken. Yeah, Victorville is actually not too far where I grew up. I grew up in San Francino County. Okay, that's not. Yeah, I never. I've never lived in Victorville. A buddy. Buddy of mine lives there, so he is. He is my temporary mailing address until I get my new Colombian call sign.

Now, which Columbia is that? I am about an hour and a half drive outside of Bogota. Bogota, Colombia. South America. Home of Juan Valderi. Oh, wow, that's quite a distance away. So how are you connecting here? Is this on EchoLink or something like that? No, not Echo Link. It's something kind of similar, but better. It is. It is void, which is void over Internet protocol.

I'm coming in via allstar. If you want to know. If you want to learn more about All Star, you can take a look@allstarlink.org and I'm just using a radioless adapter plugged into a Raspberry PI, programmed up with All Star and connected to the Karna system. Oh, wow. That sounds pretty amazing. I'll have to go look that up. Yeah, it's a nice. It's a nice system. It's basically, basically like the old original phone phone system.

It's now voiceover Internet. So, yeah, it's good stuff and it's a great tool to have, especially traveling. Okay, John, I will let you go and maybe there will be somebody else in here. I want to jump in here and wish you to the hobby or welcome welcome you to the hobby. But I get good, good talking to you and I'm glad I am your first lookup on qrz. You take care. Again, the name is Ken and I am N6TNE here in Fusa Castigara, Colombia. All right. Thank you. Good to stop at. Yes. You are my first amateur radio contact. This is KO6KXL signing off.

November 6th kilo, november echo. This is kilo. November 6th oscar uniform juliet hey ken, are you still on carla? Yes, I'm still here. How you doing? Hey Ken, thanks for checking in. I just caught your conversation with the first time ham user John, but it's fantastic hearing someone from Bogota. I think you're around somewhere after 8pm if I'm right for my world clock. And you're experiencing summertime currently, right? Yes, we're moving into summer. The deeper you guys get into winter, the deeper we get in the summer. But summer here is.

Well, I'll tell you. Yeah, it is. It is just after 8 o' clock here and it is currently 75 degrees outside. Yeah, where. Where I am here. That's. That's pretty much the temperature all year long. All year. That's not a bad temperature to be then. If you got to choose a temperature, just stick with it. That's not a bad temperature. I think this is the longest distance Carla contact I've had to date, so I want to thank you for linking up and setting that up to contact the Carla system from Bogota. I know you said you were outside of Bogota and you mentioned a town name. I'd like to look it up. Could you give me the down name? Slowly? I'm a little slow. Thank you.

Well, if you use APRs, I do have my aprs turned on. You can find me that way. I am, I am just. I live just outside of a town called Fusa. Fusa Gasiga. If you just type in Fusa F U s a Columbia booster, Gasiga will pop up. But yeah, it's Pusa. Gasigai is about an hour and a half drive out of Bogota, and then I am about a 15 minute drive out of Pusa. Fantastic. Yeah, I just got home. It's freezing up here. And by freezing, I mean, I don't know, 44 degrees or so. And I went out flying drones in a nearby recreational area and I came back freezing. But I caught the tail end of your conversation with John. I think he was.

Kilo Oscar 6, Kilo X Ray Lima and I copy you as 11-06-Kilo November Echo Ken from Fusa, Colombia. Thank you so much for a long distance contact. I'm assuming do you participate in HF as well? I do not have HF set up yet. I am waiting for a package with some needed items for an antenna and as soon as those arrive I will get myself set up with HF. But yeah, I've got everything else. I've got a Yaesu991 all ready to go with an antenna tub and once I get that antenna or two of those antennas up off the.

The ground. I. I will be on hf. Y s f n disconnected. Fantastic, Ken. Well, I. I do catch up Southern America on 10 meters occasionally when the band opens up. So hopefully I'll see you down there. N6 knee. Do you have altitude at your location? I'm sorry, do I have what out? I felt like you said Alpha something. Sorry about that, Ken. No, I was just wondering. Are you in the mountains? Do you have altitude at your location?

Yes, I am sitting right about 5,000ft here in the Andes Mountains. That's fantastic. The first thing that came to mind was a big radio tower looming over Machu Picchu. Oh, man, that's so fantastic. Well, I may have my South American countries mixed up there. Like I said, I just got home and I'm freezing. I got the heater cranked up to warm up. Thanks for the contact, Ken. I didn't mean to hold you over. Wishing you a happy Thanksgiving from North Richmond, outside of San Francisco in the Bay Area. November 6th. Kilo, November Echo. The pleasure was all mine, Ken. Thank you so much for the Contact and the QSO. Kilo. November 6th. Oscar, Uniform, Juliet, and I'll get the laptop and everything hooked up and look you up on air.

Aprs outside of bogota and busa kn6ouj. Back to you on your final. Hi, good to meet you. It looks like you are John, right? John from Richmond. Okay, John, take care. I don't know what that is you got on that pole there, but that looks like. Is that the 2 meter you were talking about? You got twin 2 meter yawkes in that picture. It's a duplex. I think it. I think it adds up to. God, I Forget already like 16 elements or something, but it gets out there. It's a great performer. It's a two stage telescoping tower and it cranks up pretty high. I'm at 17 foot.

Altitude, 17 foot ASL. Above sea level, 17 foot ASL. And I'm surrounded by trees, so I got to do everything I can to get my signal out. Well, that looks like a heck of a setup. You got that? Okay. If you know anything about the carless system, we'll probably need to let things cool down here, so. All right, John, nice to meet you. Sure. I'll hear you on here again some other time. I do monitor here just about all the time. Anytime I'm in the TV radio room here, I am on here and monitoring. You take care N6T and E. I'll be listening. Great. Contact. Ks6. Oh, you're.

K06pgy k? N6wnr? WP6a x n repeater kn6wnr? KO6vgy. Go ahead. Matthew, how was your Thanksgiving? Oh, it was good. How was yours? Ours was nice and quiet. There's, like, right around about a dozen of us. I went over to my sister's and her husband's place, and we had the turkey and the ham and now all the traditional Thanksgiving stuff, which they made before we even got there. But my mom made some pumpkin pie and stuffing and stuff, and. Yeah, so we had. We had a little feast over there, and we stayed there for, like, about four, four or five hours. And then.

Came back home and kind of settled down. Chilled a bit. How about you? Oh, I, for the first time in a while. Napped on and off most of the day yesterday. Watched some anime, some Attack on Titan, and haven't done much else. I'm getting ready to hop on the PlayStation 5 and place in Call of Duty here in a little bit. Just finishing up. I made some turkey ramen. I think tomorrow I'm gonna boil some eggs and stuff, or soft boil them for the ramen. Other than that, not much else going on. What do you got doing you have, ready or not? I don't have cod. I. I was always a battlefield player. I have Xbox though, but I think Ready or not, Crossplay. I think I saw an ad for that. I don't usually buy games.

Anymore. But Battlefield, they have a free game out right now, Battlefield Siege, I think it is, or something. If you search the Play Store, it should be there. It's on Android, right? Negative, my bad. It should be on Xbox. I have it on PlayStation 5 and it's free. It's Battlefield something or other. I'm gonna look. Yeah, I have Xbox game pass because I have the gold package that I pay, like, what is it, like 20 bucks a month for? So I'm gonna see. Because I get a lot of other games stuff for free because I pay for that subscription.

D.

Other than that. Yeah, I was just curious if you had Ready or not, because I was going to see if that was cross play. Because I'd like to play that with you. If you text me. Or I'll text you here in a minute. I'm going to look at the PlayStation Network arcade thing here and see if it's on there. It's called Ready or Not. Yeah, it's pretty much. How do I say it? It's a SWAT simulator. Oh, yeah, I don't have it yet. Anyway, yeah, I see it here. From what I remember, it's actually really intense. Like you don't. Not speeding up. You're having to like, methodically do it.

Everything. It's like extremely detailed. It's really realistic. Like it's like intense. I don't know how to say it. It's made by an independent developer too, which is great. So shout out to them that the small little independent developer can actually make a decent game. It doesn't have to be a big company doing it. So that's the cool part. Y I'll probably. I'll think about it. It's been on the list here for a while. So hopeful. See about that. And if I do get it, I'll let you know. Cuz you be the only other one that I knew that had that. But anyway, I'm going to go ahead and sign there for now. I'm going to hop on COD me or text me or whatever and.

See what's going on from there. I'll call you or text you from there, and we'll plan it out that way. Yeah, just Let me know. K06BGY, this is KN6WNR, clear under vinyl. Kn6wnr, k06pty, sounds good. I'll message you. I'll be clear. 3k o6bgy.

Good morning. N6 canadian. Hey, Ken. Good morning. Good morning. How you doing down there? I'm sure the weather's beautiful as usual, right? It is. It was supposed to rain last night, but it didn't. Actually, the wife says it did, but I don't think it did. Yeah, no, it's good. The sun is shining beautifully right now, and we're supposed to have rain.

Later. Later today. The weather. The weather predictions here are horrible. Okay, that's just leaving the house, head to the gym, pretty clear. A couple of contrails up high, but that's about it. About 50 to 50 degrees. So hoping maybe rain on Wednesday and Saturday. I'm hoping that doesn't come to fruition because been checking the temperature on our high peaks where I gotta get up there and replace that repeater or install that repeater and it's hovering about 36 and higher. So I'm hoping we don't get any more precipitation, some of that snow melts off, I can get up there next weekend.

Okay, Very good. And on that note, I have a question for you. I kind of know what you're probably saying. Have you ever done a All Star link from a remote base straight into a repeater's? The repeater's frequency. You know, the in and out of the repeater frequency using the repeater frequencies? You ever done that? I was in Ready too, doing kind of a crossband deal between DHS and UHS at all refill. Its size is known to central Nevada called Mount Ella. Going to click it out yet and we're going to do a crossbound.

Deal into our two meter repeater on Highland Peak? Is that kind of what you're talking about? Maybe not. There's a fellow that wants to hook up an All Star. Trying to help him with it, but trying to talk him out of doing it the way he wants to do it. He wants to set up an All Star of his house. And he wants the Raspberry PI to just plug into a radio that transmits on the receive side of a repeater and then listens on the transit side of the repeater. As far as I know, that's not a good way to go. Number one, you have to deal with Peter Hangtime and Welch Tales and all that stuff.

So yeah, cross band repeat. If I thought about it here for a second, I think I would know what you're talking about. Okay, now I track it. Yeah, that's absolutely not the way to go for all the reasons you stated. And we have done that for race events. There's a high speed on raid road on road race here open called in Nevada Open Silver State Challenge or something. Anyway, it happens twice a year and a Highland Peak repeater is used for that and it's a DHS repeater out connected. All Star and I separated off our main hub for the race so it doesn't interfere with everything. But anyways, long story short, the guys set up, they call the roadside repeaters and they use All Star tie into Highlands either on the data side.

On like 9151 is a node we use. Or sometimes they'll do a cross band deal and they will come into the input of the repeater, you know, and then listen on the output, kind of like a regular radio would. And then what I do to accommodate that is I give it a really quick courtesy beep and I drop the transfer immediately. So there's, for all intents and purposes, no hang time. And that's how I accommodate that. But what's your buddy's talking about? The only way that would work effectively without really screwing stuff up is if he was full duplex. Right. And had a duplexer on everything else. If he's running a simplex all star mode, he's just asking for trouble. Okay. Yeah. I briefly thought about in having two radios and two nodes, one node would be the transmitter.

The other node would be the dc. I think that may work. Is that what you were just referring to? What I was referring to was using a duplex circuit. So basically either two radios, you know, five meg offs or whatever, using uhs, or a duplex radio, which, you know, some of these commercial radios you can get now for pretty cheap, or easy duplex. Anyways, just run that through duplex or one antenna, and it would act, for all intents and purposes, like a full, full duplex link radio like we have, we're talking, we're talking to right now on various mountain tops. And that would work that way. That way, if the repeater is still, still keyed up, he'd be able to use duplex radio to transfer it back into it, and he wouldn't have to wait for hang time and all the other stuff.

But that would work as long as you didn't do anything of silly like turn on a courtesy deep. That tends to really piss people off if you do that. Yeah, yeah, I got you. All right, I'm gonna. I'll talk to him about that. Putting. Either doing a duplex situation or just having two nodes and two radios. One for lease, heat, and one for transit. All right, well, we'll play with it and see what. See what he can come up with. He doesn't have a lot of resources or availability at the site, at the repeater site, but he certainly does a. At his house. All right, well, thank you for that and finish off my breakfast here.

Yeah. Started working on my honeydews. All right, Ralph. You enjoy the gym, by the way. I know there's a couple of. Couple of bars out there that are called the gym just to keep you out of trouble. I don't know if Las Vegas has one or not, but I know the dude's there. Never heard of that. You know, the other thing you can do, too, Ken, is how am I sure if he has access to the repeater? If he's the owner or knows the owner? The other option is just to put a node directly at the site on All Star, hook it into the controller, full duplex, and that way he could connect to it via a hotspot from his house or a POC radio or anything like that. Might be another option. I've got a couple of those nose up at the.

Myself a mountain pass, which is no kidding, just a an allstar hotspot direct, directly connecting to link port. We can do cross mode and cross stump, you know, stuff like that. Anyways, okay, talk later. I'm here. I'm going to go in and do my no Kidding gym workout at 7T Las Vegas. All right, take care. And as you exit your yeah, he does have more knowledge in hooking up a link radio at the site than he certainly does hooking up a PI at the site. He just doesn't seem to have the equipment to hook up a link radio at the site, point it down to the house where the altar is going to be. Okay, take care, enjoy, and the cookie.

Well, good morning, WD6AXM. Good morning. How are you doing today? Doing pretty well. Just sort of getting started for the day. Got a load of laundry in and getting ready to get out on the workbench and clear some of that junk off of there. How about you? Yeah, that's what I need to do, but I think I've got my son. We're gonna get outdoors for a little bit and go sight in some stuff. But that's our start of the day anyway. Yeah, I've been trying to keep up with the leaves and stuff. I've got a tree out front, an almond tree, and it's just taking its sweet time about shedding it leaves and stuff. So. Yeah. Got a few things to do outside yet. Yeah, it's pretty damp. It'll be tough with leaves, but it'll dry out. But yeah, that's some of the other things that we still need to do.

Yeah. And I got a couple of projects there. Some are on the bench and some are elsewhere but I've got to get the calendar arranged in order to get them. Yeah, that's, I think I'm going to be busy all the way through Christmas trying to get the house ready. I know the wife wants to get decorating soon so that's going to be another project but the never ending project. Yeah, well the wife is down grandchild sitting for the most of the week I guess but before she left she said yeah, it'd be nice to go ahead and put the lights up and maybe go ahead and pick out a tree and things like that. So yeah, same thing. Well that's, yeah, I know, I know about that world. So anyway, yeah, at least we're getting out early and getting some things done. It's really dewy out here. It's gotten pretty thick.

I was just looking out the front window here. The roads look kind of dampish, like almost like a sprinkle type of thing. We had a little bit of that yesterday as well. Yeah, I'm really hoping it stops doing that in the next 45 minutes to an hour. Roger that. All right, you have a good day of it there. And good luck with the Christmas decks and stuff and all the shopping and things. Have a good day, WD6AXM. You too, sir. That's good to hear from you. Have a great day. I'll be monitoring.

Kind of chilly and damp for that today, isn't it? Oh, I have the layered look going on, trust me. Yeah, I just went outside and it looked kind of damp out there. And yeah, it's actually down here. It feels like a misty rain almost. Yeah, that's how it was when I left Yuba City up here just got a heavy high fog, almost like an overcast, I guess you'd say. But yeah, when I left Cuba City, the fog was really almost like a mist. Okay. Yeah, not exactly my kind of weather, but. Oh, well. So sighting in a couple of them, or are you wet for long range or what? Oh, I got new scoops on both of them. I'll sight them in for 50 yards and then.

See how they. See how they do after that, both of them. I should be able to hit at least one's at 270, so I should deal with at least one distance. Oh, yeah. There you go. Yeah. Sound like you're getting you just, what, on gps? Getting things dialed in. You're gonna be making a hunting trip here pretty soon. Oh, the hunting trip will be next year. I missed that on this year. Too many things got in the way, you know? Huh? You know that good? Yes, I do. No doubt. Nope. Got a. I brought an AR up here that I. That I built, and then I got the 270s. Both of them have a new GoPro. I got a Spiderman. All right, that. All righty. Well, I'll let you get to it. I want to get the house clean.

Done here. Got some vacuuming and stuff to do. Brides out, grand grandchild sitting for the weekend. And so I got a kitchen path here. Yeah, I'll know how that goes here. Pretty soon.

In the Berkeley, California area. Okay, I'm mobile on U.S. 95 and Interstate 215, Beltway. Right now, westbound northwest Las Vegas, Las Vegas Valley, headed over to southwest Fox Bay.

Bicycle shop. Name me is John Juliet Oscar till November. I got my family with me. We're just driving in my pick him up truck. Headed over to check out this bike shop on the other side of town. What are you up to today there? Go ahead. Today just putting up. Okay, yeah, you lost your path, you lost your signal. You're pretty marginal, pretty scratchy there. Are you on a handy talking HP or something like that? Because had quite a bit of noise on previous transmissions. On this one you were just noise and.

You just dropped out completely. Maybe go near a window or something. Huh. Trying a different location here. Outdoor more was blocked by. Okay, that time was a lot better. A lot better. But the audio is just a little bit low. But I heard you less noise that time. Said something about your student was blocked by some trees or something. That's right. Yeah. Signal was blocked by some trees and buildings. Hopefully it's a little bit.

Better now? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's definitely better. Go ahead. What are you doing today? Yeah, we were going to do the same thing, but we decided to go shopping instead. So I went out to run some errands, do some stuff like that. So. Cool. Well, I just switched repeaters. I switched over to a different repeater because I'm losing the coverage areas. I was on one on Angel Peak and I'm one on Red Mountain, which is down by Boulder City, Nevada, on the other side of town, because I'm kind of up in the mountains.

Now I'm going south along the edge of the Spring Mountain. So I'm going to be shadowed from Mount Potosi and Angel Peak. So I switched to repeater. Just on the other side of the valley that I have a direct line of sight to you. Copy me? Okay. At this time. Copy. Loud and clear. Thank you. Mobile system 32 link up. Okay. Sounds like there's another station. Other station. Go ahead. From NR7G mobile Las Vegas.

S, I believe. N16 2. So I heard that. It sounded like an automated message thing. System 9 link. Is that a message from the repeater network?

Yeah. System. System 9. One of the Carla repeaters. I'm on the LVRA system. Las Vegas Repeater Association System. We have about a half a dozen repeaters scattered around southern Nevada. Also Lincoln County, Nevada. Highland Meat. I'll go into Petite Nevada over by kind of by the border of Arizona and Utah. Southern Utah area. Go ahead. Okay, I'm on the carla 5. Dear. I.

Our systems are linked together through All Star. Both systems, the lvra system and the Carla system, are married together digitally. So that's how we're able to communicate there. Go ahead. Okay. All Star. I just heard about All Star yesterday. Someone else on here that was from near Bogota, Colombia somewhere. He was on All Star as well. Yeah, that's Ken Essex. Kne. He's in Fusa. Fusa, Columbia. So, yeah, he used to be a northern cow. An escapement cow.

Like a station from Redding just popped in just now. Stream Northern California, the Redding station. Take it away from NR7G. Volvo, Las Vegas. Well, maybe they. Now you see it, now you don't. Anyway, all right, well. Yeah, you should check out all star. Go on. AllstarLink.org AllstarLink.org if you're interested in Allstar, there's a bunch of ways you can get in. One of the coolest ways is a device called a clear node company called Node Ventures. You look up online, look up Node Ventures and look for a clear node.

And they're a fantastic device. You can order them in VHF or uhf. I recommend the UHF model. There's a little Raspberry PI device that connects to your WI FI at your house. It has a little radio transmitter in it, receiver about 50 milliwatts, something like that. So it works good around my neighborhood, and I just use it with my ht. I can dial up the world. There's just thousands of nodes out there that you can connect to all over the place. The audio is crystal clear. I use one around my house all the time. And you can dial it up with DTMF tones, or you can use your smartphone in the background to surf around in different places. You can connect different devices together. I recommend you try it out. They cost about three or four, but it's a high quality item. A guy named Jerry Philby Node Ventures over in California.

California. He manufactures them, does a really great job, has excellent customer service, great support. They might be on sale right now for Black Friday, so check it out. Tell them I sent you anyway. Berkeley station. Go ahead. From NR7G mobile in Las Vegas. Thank you for that recommendation. I see it on the website now. Yeah, the. No Adventures. That sounds like a pretty cool setup up. I'll check it out. Thank you. Yeah, there's. They're not cheap, but the high quality items, they're very robust, well made, and they're just so much fun, I tell you. Take your hp, if you just dial up anywhere, connect different nodes together, different things, so there's other ways to get them.

All Star, but we have our mountaintop repeaters link with the All Star, then RF link as a backup backup method. So anyway, all right. I don't want to tie them too much longer. I'm sure there's some other stations want to get in there. So take care and it was great chat with you. 73nr 17 Bubble Summerlin, Nevada. All right, thank you for chatting with you.

John, you are super scratchy the first time, and then. Sounds like you changed your gears. Second time you sounded okay. How you doing? Oh, hey, Ken. I'll just. Yeah, I'm just out here on agt Southwest Las Vegas over here. I'm partnering with a bicycle shop on Sunset, Turango. My wife and son are looking at bicycles over here. So I was just into my mobile rig on my 4100y2 handhelds. First time was on low potassill. It was pretty scratchy, so I turned the knob one click to high potency, and voila. So is this better?

Yes, sir. Much, much better. This is Red Mountain. Can you copy me at all on Red Mountain? Yes, I can hear you there too. A little bit more pap noise, but. Yeah, you're making that one. Not as good, but good enough. Yeah, it's crazy. Red. Red Mountains all the way on the other side of town. Switch over here. Hold on a second. This is high quality. Stick to height.

Yeah, high is definitely much better. N6kn2r. Hey Paul, what's happening with you? I looked and I tried to get into the regular ASL menu on that hub and I can't find the regular one. It keeps taking me to another ASL menu that's got much more advanced features. So anyways, I tried.

Failed. Tried again. Failed again. How you doing? Yeah, okay. Well, you know, I'm not that familiar with ESL 3. Listen, I. I gave you a phone call. I wanted to talk to you about something. I was doing one of my last fixes on here. One of your couch had an issue. So I was wondering if you can give me a call back. 750 is fine. It's the other one I had the issue with. N6 can eat, cans work. Well, you probably saw me this morning. I was playing around with the Skywarm plus trying to get it to work. Reverted back to all the original settings.

There's a major failure there. I just cannot get it to work. I even went down to the bottom down there in the dev and tried to do an injection and it wouldn't work. Tried to do star 831, 832. None of that stuff would work. Yeah, okay, I'll give you a call. You want me to do that right now? Yeah. I just called you because you. I guess you're not kicking the signal cold. Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about something else. I don't know what you're doing with all that other stuff. Yeah, I was trying to fix the PHP session. You're logged in there, and 30 minutes later, if you don't touch anything, boom, it logs off. So I was changing.

In the timer to at least 24 hours. I don't know, 12 or 24 or whatever. And yeah, it won't let me change it. So that's what I need to talk to you about. What happened? Well, keep in mind I've been doing restarts and redo, all kinds of stuff. I may have been in the middle of doing something while you. In the middle of doing something. Okay. John, are you still there? It sounds like John is out taking care of his family stuff there and bicycles, whatever he had going on. Okay. Paul gave you a call right now and.

Kk6vzb mobile w e6a x n repeater. Hello, chris. W6b and h. Good afternoon, Paul. How are you doing? Doing well. I'm just out running. Running a few errands and got back in the truck and heard you put out your call. Yeah, I'm heading out to the hardware store. Gotta pick up. Hate to say this, I gotta pick up a little bit of wire to. Had to revert some switches in the. For the lights in the kitch.

From the new. The new switches I put in there that were supposed to be WI fi and remote controllable to the old, just rocker switches. Because my wife preferred the rocker switches. And I. Yeah, I just. I happen to be missing some. Some wire or I need to make some short runs. I mean, like six inches. Oh, yeah. Well, I know change is hard. Sometimes getting used to different. Different types of switches and the WI Fi stuff, it seems like a good idea. But sometimes just the old faithful is the way to go. Huh? That's true. My wife's issue was that she'd have to push on and push off the switches. Instead of, you know, the rocker, you push the same portion for the wire, WI FI and.

The gears west. Repeater frequency has been changed. It is now. It is now on 1. 46.895 minus PL 123. I repeat. 46.895 minus PL123. W fix R H C repeater check 2.

You know, push the same. Same part of the switch. You push it on, you push it off, instead of, you know, top and bottom. She couldn't get used to that. Yeah. I think it's funny how often I struggle with the switches. We've got a few multi, you know, multi switches. Two way, I guess, two way, three way, whatever. And anyway, they get stuck in the middle or something like that. It's trouble. Oh, yeah, three way. I will definitely remember the first time I replaced our three way switches. And silly me, I didn't do a one by one wire swap from one switch to the other. I took everything apart. Took me four hours to get it. All right. Yeah. There are a few tricks to.

I guess, if you're not real familiar with it. So. Yeah, it's always a chance to learn, right? Very true. Very true. What else are you doing today? Anything special? Just house projects. Well, I'm just coming from Habitat, and I noticed on my way over there was. Looks kind of like a sort of a car show gathering out near Harbor Freight. And I gonna stop by and just see if they're still there. Just looked kind of interesting. So I've got free time. I thought I'd check it out. Oh, sure. You know, I went into the Habitat thing a few weeks ago. Unbelievable. I could not. I think I went in there about six or seven years ago, maybe longer than that, and it wasn't. It wasn't as full as it is now.

I tell you, they're. I would say they're half their space is looks like it's dedicated to Amazon return. I guess they're doing a booming business anyway. Yeah, well, I didn't go in for it, but I saw a Suriobi angle grinder battery powered and I have battery powered Ryobi tools and I just looked at that and for the price, I think I got it for $40. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. It's nice when you find something where you got maybe extra batteries and chargers once you get started down that path. It's nice to see day on it. Yeah. And this wasn't any used or returned. This is a brand new in the box.

Brand new in the box, never been opened. I don't know what in the world, you know, where this could have come from that, you know, they're selling it like that. Yeah. They've got a real mix of things from. From obviously just used things that maybe ought to be. Ought to be in the dump or sometimes brand new expensive stuff that just kind of an oddball use that maybe not everybody needs. Yeah. Yeah. Reminds me a little bit. Not too much. We had this place called Kohler's back in Illinois, not too far from where I lived. And I forget Kohler's, what? But they had a bunch of stuff whenever my dad needed something for the.

House and didn't want to spend new. He. He'd go there. They had. They had old sinks, they had old toilets, they had doors and windows and. Oh, just unbelievable stuff. They had. They had an entire bar. I ain't talking about a commercial bar, you know, in there. Upstairs, they had old wooden shaft golf clubs and golf balls and just so many different things it was hard to fathom. But it was fun looking around. Yeah, that's the thing. It's. You see such variety. It's interesting. I don't go over to Habitat too often, but every once in a while and, yeah, they've always got a good supply of sinks, toilets.

D.

A lot of just miscellaneous plumbing fittings and then all the Amazon stuff. You just never know what you're going to see. I think my dad picked up it was an Underwood portable typewriter. I don't know, made in the 20s or 30s or something. And it's a little thing. He bought that, and I know he didn't pay that much for it. He bought it just as a toy for us kids to be able to pound on. And. Yeah, it's like, you know, I don't know that it could offend that anyplace else. Yeah. Treasures you find. That's fun, for sure. Yeah. Well, I'm getting over here. Close to where the car show ought to be. That's just on the Yuba City side. I just came over the bridge. Might have to check that out.

On my. On my way out of. Out of Home Depot, and that's because it sounds interesting and it wouldn't be too far out of my way, so. Well, good luck and we'll talk to you later then. 73 KK6PZD, clear. All right, Chris, good talking to you. I'll probably know in a minute if they're still there, and let's see if I can just let you know. All right, 73. For now, W6B and H.

Kk6vzd, w6bnh. Go ahead, Paul. Yeah, it looks like they're there right now. It's a lot of Impalas, but a few other just different models, real classic looking stuff. So, like, it'd be worth checking out if you're not too far away. All right. I just want to let you know. Well, I won't be. Is it like a lowriders convention? Well, there are definitely some low riders. No doubt. I see one that's maybe an inch off the ground, but there's I see a Corvair and some kind of old, maybe Chrysler, you know, big old classic, maybe from the 50s or so. And yeah, I haven't checked them out yet, but looks like a pretty good mix. Well, then.

It won't take me that long over here, so I think I will stop by. Thanks for letting me know. I've decimated, so I'll let you go. 73 kk6 vcd. Clearing w6bnh. Clear. T and H. KK6ISQ. Yeah, go ahead, Mike. Hey. How you doing? Yeah, doing well. Yeah, I was just. I don't know if you heard all that, but I had been driving past right out near harbor. Freight plastic cars or different cars. Anyway, I thought I'd check them out. Right on. Hey, were you guys planning on coming Friday? Friday night? I can't remember what the event is.

Is, but I think I remember Carla saying we're not going to be able to make something that we had talked about, so that might be it. Okay. I'll let Colleen know. She was. She's asked me about it yesterday. Yeah. Yeah, I don't. I think we're not. Not planning on that. So thanks. Thanks for checking in and letting her know. Okay. Yeah. That was the museum Christmas party. That's right. Yeah. That. That is what Carla was talking about. So. Yeah, I think we're not going to be able to do it. Thanks for checking. Anyway. It sounds like it's be a good gathering. No problem. I'll go ahead and let you go. I got to get through this storage unit of ours.

Oh, that sounds like work. Thanks. Okay, I'll say 73 for now. 7 3, KK6ISQ clear.

And I just got back a few months ago. Yeah, well I noticed you button on. Did you have a good time? Oh yeah, it was a pretty good family gathering and lots going on. Well, good. Yeah, we just went down here at the lodge, had a good dinner and visited with some people and stuff and oh, you know, hanging out here.

Yeah, I just went back to. I just went and picked up my. My little dog. I didn't take him with me, so I had him babies that night. Just went and picked him up on my E bike and. Oh, man, it is cold outside. Yeah, it's. Well, it's really not that cold up here for this time of year, but I just imagine down there in the valley. I think it said it was like, what, 56 or so? 41 here. Oh, boy. Yeah, I guess that is kind of chilly. And I just rode the. Drove the E bike with regular clothes on and. Yeah, it was a little cool. Yeah, I bet it was. Yeah.

Yeah. One thing about it I don't know about down there in the valley, but up here it's cool. But there's no wind, and that makes it pretty good. I mean, we have a fire just smoldering, just kind of keep the chill off here at the house. But other than that, you know, it's all right. Yeah, that's another thing. I gotta get this thing heated up. It's a little bit cool in here, too. Cooler than usual. 52 in the house here, so I. I got to get a fire make going. Yeah, we found out that, you know, in those fires, you know, fireplaces, once you get the wood all warmed up in the house, it stays pretty pleasant, you know.

But you just. Once it gets like you've been gone for a couple days, the wood itself kind of cools off. And that's what makes it kind of cold. Yeah, this place is a lot warmer. Normally never goes below, like, 65. Anyway, I'm gonna go heat it up, so Happy Thanksgiving. N6GRT okay, same to you, Mike. Talk to you later. Be up here, Modern Kim, watching the news, whatnot.
