That's quite a long haul for you so fantastic. Thank you. Any other guest check ins? Okay let's go up to Bill Cape KC6UFE for what do you have for us Bill?
Speaker C: AC6UFE Bill Incapay and good evening to the net and it seems like we've got a new mode to experiment with on the HF bands at least but I think it works everywhere. We have, you know we all have FT8 and then they somebody developed FT4 and now we have FT2. I think it's been around for about a month now and basically it's twice as fast as FT4 and four times as fast as FT8 so people are really latching onto that. It's not quite as good for weak signal to transmissions but apparently it makes up for that with the speed. So if you're watching the Ex Summit or other spotting networks you will see that they are quite populated with FT2 spots. So enjoy everybody. Back to you KC6 UFE.
Speaker B: Okay Bill, thank you for that and that update. The latest going on there with a new mode. Wow, that's awesome. I guess the expedition down to Bove island has been completed. Boy, it was really different this year. I was interfacing with some other operators and they were frustrated that they weren't hearing either by long path or short path on SSB and CW. But evidently FT8 was working fantastic for that expedition. So that's all I know there and hopefully with family now that left this morning, late morning, I hope to get back to working on some projects and antennas and I want to remind everybody. That with this warmer weather all of a sudden on us to stay hydrated. Watch yourselves. Don't push it too hard. We've got to acclimate to the temperatures. We'll be hovering around 90 degrees this week, at least here in Willows at my QTH. That's what the forecast is. All right, do we have any late members or guests wishing to check into the Gars Monday night before we close? Okay, that's the net as it is right now. So in hearing none, this will confirm the Gars Money Night net. Net Control would like to thank everyone who checked in tonight as well as Gary for the use of the Whiskey 6 Romeo Hotel Charlie repeater. We hope that you'll join us next week.

Oh expand Vision but it doesn't say HDLP on those ones 120% longer run time these ones last night even though it we started off with full charges didn't make it to the end of the movie so I don't, I don't while I can still take them back to Amazon. I don't know what to think about this Expand Vision the new improved SP X106 is because they have a whole different it says it covers all 3D stuff but it doesn't say the key words about the DLP link anyway and we got four chairs here so I probably should own four glasses so before I buy two more of what I got since I'm unhappy with the battery life Jay.

Speaker A: You cannot
Speaker B: because the charge cord plugs in between the lenses that right at your nose. I don't see anywhere where
Speaker A: this. Where they say this other one here. Anti theft tag. They don't tell you the price either. And I don't understand what it says. Frame rate frequency is 96 to 240 and the shutter frequency is 48 to 120. This is all new stuff to me.

Speaker A: Well, I'll be able to talk to you from the truck. I'm getting ready to jump in the truck. These are the first of the ones I looked up. I just googled what's the best ones. This is the first one I looked at Expand Vision,
Speaker B: And since they're not listing the price,

Speaker B: Well, Ron, you know the sun does come up every day and some people may complain about it because it gives them cancer. Other people enjoy the warmth from it. So all of our vision on life. I don't know what to say to you. I know dozens of people now that have the M1KE and I've. I've never heard the experiences that you're having. I have no relationship with them, but I know that people love them. So anyway, that was your final. I'm going to throw it over to your final final. I do need to get going. We're past the top of the hour. I need to be closing the net. But yeah, drop on in. And I know that Frank has sent you an email.

And yeah, I just don't want to gamble on that radio on that device and if I get one that the display falls in or the seat connected goes to Akriyama. And I mentioned it. Somebody said, well I warned you about it. I told you maybe that was just a run that they had that was not good. But I don't know, they even tell you in there, be careful with the display. Now if they know they got a problem, why don't they fix it instead of telling you to be careful with it. Fix the darn thing so people don't wind up throwing their money away. 73 thank you very much. And I made a note of this node. I guess you call it a node. I don't know about nodes or whatever, but I made a notation and I will be checking in from time to time. Thank you so much.

It's one of these things where if you grew up in it, you can laugh about it or make those comments. But to call it a car bomb is really considered offensive, especially on St Patrick's Day. And nine muscles. Yeah, obviously something you heard that I did not hear.

Speaker D: Oh Brian. Yeah, Fireside does drop at that time to go over to the Alaska net as I believe is where they go and it's Ruby r u b y-b l u e.com Is that the correct way of selling that website? Case F k v that's it.
Speaker B: Yep. Ruby as in the slippers and blue as in the color of the sky. Ruby rubyblue.com AI yeah and yeah, like I told Ron the east coast reflector Fireside they just skip from net to net to net and they have a hard stop time on us. So thank you. Hey I us 73 yep.

Yeah. W, 6P and H. You're making the repeater and it is still pretty quiet, so try just as close and a little bit louder. Let's just see if that helps.

Good afternoon out there. This is kk6, isq mobile.

Speaker A: Kk6 is q.k6ikv.
Speaker B: This is KK6ISQ.
Speaker A: Did you hear me a few minutes ago or did I not even make it to the repeater?
Speaker B: I heard the repeater open up, but I didn't hear anything.
Speaker A: I just realized as I called you with the antenna on without going through the swr that it was not giving me any kind of an indication of a beat on that, so. Oh, boy. I guess I got bigger trouble.
Speaker B: You want to try it real quick?
Speaker A: Yeah, because it's not even hitting the repeater. So I just realized, oh, that's just a waste of effort, but. Hey, how you doing?
Speaker B: Oh, not bad. Been spraying all day. Heading to the office. Get. Get work done it there.
Speaker A: Oh, yeah, all that kind of fun stuff. Anyway, trying to get ready for the meeting tonight. I guess I got some more research to do. But, hey, that's what it's all about, right?
Speaker B: Yep. Plans, radio. Wait.
Speaker A: Okay. IJD and I am clear. Thank you.
Speaker B: 73, KK6ISQ monitoring.

Speaker A: Sam, That was a pretty quick radio check. Want to try it again so we can hear your audio? Go ahead. N6 kne here.
Speaker B: N6kne. This is w6tsj. W6tango, sierra, juliet.
Speaker A: Okay, that was much better. Yeah, you are. You're loud and clear. Great signal and great audio.
Speaker B: Okay, thank you. I do appreciate that. Your signal here is about 10 over 9. So full quieting on this end also. Thanks for the report. I'm located in Laguna Miguel. I wonder what is your qth?
Speaker A: Well, believe it or not, I am here in Chinatown, Columbia, Columbia, South America.
Speaker B: All right, that's cool. You're part of the. I guess this is part of this wind system. I've been a ham for a vintage ham, but I've getting introduced to some of these networks. Nice talking to you down there in Columbia. This is W6TSJ in Southern California.
Speaker A: All right. And just for information, this is definitely not the wind system. This is the California Amateur Radio linking association, or CARLA. And you can find more information@carlaradio.net org. Yeah, so if you want to take a look there, there's lots of information there for you.
Speaker B: Okay, fine.
Speaker A: Business.
Speaker B: Will do. Yeah, I noticed that there's
Speaker A: a few networks here.
Speaker B: Something in this area called Papa and then wind. And now I got Carla. So I'll continue to look at those and see how they work. It's pretty interesting. I do appreciate the info. And by the way, we're in the heat wave here. We have about 85 degrees heading toward triple digits today here in Southern California. So 73. Oh, by the way, the humidity is fairly low. That might be different than where you are. This is W6TSJ.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's a little bit different. I've got 81 degrees and 71% humidity. Okay, well, good to meet you and welcome to the carless system.
Speaker B: Out of those three systems you mentioned
Speaker A: Carla, Papa, and the wind system, the CARLA system is probably the quieter of. Definitely the quieter of the three. And it is very broad. It covers just about all, well, almost all of California except for maybe a very northern tip along the coast and up there by the Oregon Boulder state line.
Speaker B: Yeah.
Speaker A: So, yeah, go check it out. Carlaradio.net and lots of great information on there. All right, you take care. Good to meet you. My name here is Ken and I am N6KN here in Chinatown, Columbia.
Speaker B: Okay, fine business. And thanks for the info. Good to know. And thanks for the weather report, too. 73W6TSJ.
Speaker A: Clear. Hey, Larry, how you doing? I was going to ask you if Your audio is low on purpose or. I had my volume down. Sounded like I had my volume down just a tiny bit.
Speaker B: Go ahead.
Speaker A: How you doing?
Speaker C: Oh, I'm good. I don't know, I'm talking like normal. Normal as I can talk but anyway, just got home. So I thought I'd say hi to find out.
Speaker A: Well you never ever, ever Larry, want anybody to think that you're normal. They may expect things from you that you just, you just cannot give. So yeah, never, never, never say you're doing imminent normal. Yeah, like I was just telling I. I didn't even look that fella up. I was busy doing some of the things. I didn't even get to write down his call sign. But I'll go back and listen to the recording. So how are things up there in Oregon?
Speaker C: Well I did notice that his audio was a louder than yours but he
Speaker A: kind of didn't make hello good here normal.
Speaker C: Hey.
Speaker A: So I had another friend also looked
Speaker C: at try to do that formatting and
Speaker A: upgrading and he determined which I think he probably determined that there's some running
Speaker C: my little laptop that that drive is
Speaker A: not working properly
Speaker C: not working correctly properly properly and could find the drive onto devices. But anyway there's a termination too something wrong with drive. So I just went ahead and ordered the upgrade. My birthday car heck was.
Speaker A: I'm not going to fight it anymore. Okay. Yeah. So how old, if you were to guess, how old is your laptop?
Speaker C: This is a refurbished think pad I got off Amazon for $95 so who knows how old it is. Couldn't pass up a deal like that. So yeah, and I got it a year or two ago, possibly a couple years ago now.
Speaker A: Just old.
Speaker C: Not much. There's not much.
Speaker A: I guess you'd call it a laptop monitor. Yeah, gotcha. You know where I found a great place to buy?
Speaker D: Dj d6 studio k06fdi.
Speaker A: I don't even know where that's coming from. Take a look. Anyways, Somebody's coming in on vodka there. But they must not have their volume turned up on the radio. Anyways, Larry, I found that you know a local for you. It may not be local, maybe your jean or something but local computer repair they tend to have a lot of great used devices available for sale. I've always had fantastic luck finding like good old fashioned Windows 7 machines and things like that at those computer repair places.
Speaker D: This is K06FBI2 August 3600 India. I didn't get your call time but yeah, I'm on a portable here while driving. Not in my usual vehicle. So I have to bring the portable instead of the port mobile this time. Trying to help my dad on Carlos,
Speaker A: I think you said you're in Sacramento. Sacramento area. Yeah, you did kind of. You did come in in the middle of a conversation. So I'm thinking either you're on, you're listening to some local traffic or maybe you didn't have your volume up. But anyways, go ahead, give your, give your. Your, your party or your father, I think you said a yell, see if he comes back to you.
Speaker D: I'm currently on 101 north just south of Santa Cruz, so I'm trying to hail him from here and maybe because he's on the system 26 I believe I'm on the link but I'll give him a hail here in a couple minutes. He's a waster. Six fox red belt in yet.
Speaker A: I'll be monitoring. Oh, go ahead and give them a try. Larry and I were just chit chatting, nothing important.
Speaker B: But yeah, good.
Speaker A: No, go ahead, go ahead and give your other party a call there.
Speaker D: Correction santa cruz, That you're pretty scratchy there, but I do copy and that's a 06 FBI I'll be monitoring as well. Thanks for letting us get in contact other stations.
Speaker A: Thank you.
Speaker C: No problem.
Speaker A: So anyway Larry, there you go. There's my advice on finding a good used laptop or a desktop.
Speaker C: Yeah, I heard that there is a local shelter in town that heard good things about for.
Speaker A: For that. For use a little bit. I use it and all that. Yeah.
Speaker C: All right, I'll go ahead and back up but just want to give you
Speaker A: double update on my situation. Anyway, you take care of her and
Speaker C: I'll back on out and go back to monitoring.
Speaker A: This is K7GM. Okay Larry, I'll give you a yellow on your 84 right now if you're able. I'll give you a yell on your 84. N6 kne on my 84 here in Chinato Colombia. Can you yell out on your 84.
Speaker E: And hello Ken from 36 and 6trg.
Speaker A: What did you say?
Speaker B: From 36?
Speaker E: Oh, I was trying to catch Ken before He took off to 84. How you doing? N6 GRG?
Speaker A: I'm still here.
Speaker E: Okay, well I know you have have to get over to 8410 so I just wanted to say hello. N6GRG N6 go radio go up in actually, actually too warm near Reddit.
Speaker D: Okay.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's a little humid down here. I didn't hear what Tom said. Hopefully it was nothing too important. Yeah. No, 8, 4 is just. That's the last two digits of my November. And then Larry, the last two digits of his node number is also 8, 4. And because he's born blind, if I tell him which one I'm going to yell at him on, he knows which node the sounder's coming out of, which he's got that figured out already because he's got his speakers arranged in such a way he can absolutely tell which one is talking.
Speaker E: Okay, well, I thought maybe we were. He was connected to like the Oregon Connection or one of those other VHF UHF systems up there, but now I know what he's doing.
Speaker A: Yeah, it's just radio. Some radio list up there. No RF involved, no FCC stuff required. So, yeah, it's just two radio lifts, adapters talking to each other. Working connection. That Oregon connection doesn't even exist anymore. It's all integrated into the. You know what. Now I won't even say it on here. All right, I'll be right back. N6 kne. Good to hear you, Tom. If you had something important, say it. You know, it wasn't just giving you a crap. So that's all. Now my.
Speaker B: My day is complete.
Speaker A: I can go have fun on E4 and we'll talk to you later. And.
Speaker B: Hi, Mike.
Speaker A: And by N6 MVT,
Speaker E: Well, they've got the. We've got the FCC and. And Ken's having to deal with the ccc. Colombian. Colombian Communications Commission or some other. Who knows what
Speaker A: the last C stands for. Cartel.
Speaker E: Oh, boy. Don't go there.
Speaker A: I have to throw in a go.

Speaker A: We6axm repeater.
Speaker B: Hello, phil. Ki6hk. Chuck.
Speaker A: Good afternoon.
Speaker B: How you doing?
Speaker A: Over.
Speaker B: Fine, Phil. Are you still living there in Browns Valley?
Speaker A: Same location 7.5 miles from the gas station. 2.5 miles from Collins Lake. Over.
Speaker B: That's a beautiful spot. I remember it from when I was a kid. Teegarden used to own a place there on the other side of the road from you, I think.
Speaker A: Well, I still got Palomite Ranch. That was where Trigger came from for Roy Rogers. They're still there. Palomaine Ranch. And I got Kane Stake. The mountain still there. I got the irrigation disc. United property for bvid. But it's all the same population, never changed. Still got one gas station and one post office. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, I was fishing in that creek there not far from you, Phil, when I was like six, seven years old.
Speaker A: Okay.
Speaker B: I'm surprised you didn't go to Timbuktu
Speaker A: on the other side. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's for sure.
Speaker A: Oh, how's. What's his name? Colonel Maloney, I think. Is he still alive? Over.
Speaker B: The last I heard, Phil.
Speaker A: Well, that's good. He should be in his 90s by now. Over. 6 HK King 6 Whiskey. Whiskey. London mobile for station ID.
Speaker B: Back to you, Chuck.
Speaker A: Overt.
Speaker B: Yeah, you live far enough out of Browns Valley where you don't have to worry about those underground gold mine shafts that it honeycomb that whole area.
Speaker A: There's some property not too far from the post office. It's three dwellings or 700,000. But the water's contaminated with mercury. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's probably from the gold mining days. I can remember back in the 40s when we drive through Browns Valley on the way to Marysville from up in the mountains. And that gold mine was still lighted up. They had a big framework that went over the road that had lights all over it.
Speaker A: How many shafts they had there.
Speaker B: But that's more on the fans.
Speaker A: Made one mine shaft into a museum or not a museum retreat. And they built a big warehouse there so people can go there and pay and have a tour, walk around. I'm not sure they're going to go inside the shack. I doubt it. Without proper railing and stuff like that to get it over.
Speaker B: Yeah, when I was. When I turned 21, my dad stopped at the. At the bar there in Browns Valley and I had the first beer I ever bought after I was legal age. Yeah, still there.
Speaker A: Change of hands. Probably three of them. I think one of the owners was retired. Right.
Speaker B: Colonel?
Speaker A: From me a little. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah. Good talking to you, Phil. Are you on a handheld.
Speaker A: This is a Kenwood Tangle Mike 281.
Speaker B: Yeah, I'm losing your signal, Phil. You must be mobile. Yeah, I go back to the days Phil there at when there was no Collins Lake. It was a little ranch owned by Pansy Higgins. They were Portuguese family that owned that property in there. Yeah, I'm losing you, phil. Sure good to talk to you. Whiskey. Let's see. K6 whiskey. Whiskey. London. Ki6hk. Okay, jack.
Speaker A: You take care.
Speaker B: Have a nice afternoon.
Speaker A: 73 k6wwo mobile. Bye bye.
Speaker B: 7 3. Phil.

Then there's that mike golf kilo dude on local n6grg36.

Speaker A: Golf, romeo, golf copy. India, india uniform. Golf, Romeo, Golf Al copy. India, India, uniform.
Speaker B: Yeah, I wondered if maybe my. The first part of my call has been cut off or what happened there. But I heard you in 6 grt. How you doing, Greg?
Speaker A: Oh, pretty good. I made a trip to Reading today, and I thought I was just gonna get, you know, some guidance, but the guy did my whole taxes, so
Speaker B: we're
Speaker A: gonna, you know, we'll get together in April sometime, but, you know, I can fill you on the. In on the date when that time comes over.
Speaker B: Okay, that sounds good. Yeah. I would have had a hard time meeting with you today before. Before noon anyway, and it would have been tough because when I got. Yeah, another thing that's going on here is I. My. My lamps have started to. I had to deal with the mother and the lamb that just arrived this morning and get him to go to a separate spot where the mom can deal only with the lamb and not be in the flock, in the crowd, you know.
Speaker A: Well, how many do you got now?
Speaker B: Well, I've only got one lamb, but I'm expecting, you know, probably more lambs than I've ever had ever.
Speaker A: Yeah, I thought you were downsizing so you could buy a boat and join the cruising community over.
Speaker B: I missed the first part of that.
Speaker A: Thought you were going to downsize and buy a boat and join the cruising community over.
Speaker B: Yeah, that's the plan. But final end of the sheep saga is this one, which is that I've got a whole bunch of ewes that are ready to have babies. I had a brand new ram come in. They're absolutely gorgeous lamb coming from him because they're black and white, multicolored things. Kind of like. Kind of like a heifer cow. Like those. What do they call those ones that are black and white and. Yeah, this is the last of it. The lambs sell easier than any other type of sheep. The rams have become easier to sell now and then the ewes. That's the toughest part of all for some crazy reason. But anyways, that's the plan is to sell all of them off.
Speaker A: Well, have you been in touch with the, like, the 4H Club? I know they're in the market to buy young lambs and stuff for, you know, raising them for their projects over.
Speaker B: Yeah, I'll have to target for 4, 8 and future farmers here in Glenn county and. And so forth. And. And then, you know, I advertise also on Facebook. Well, you can't advertise on Facebook. I advertise on everywhere I can though. And yeah, I'll have to actually target the future farmers and the forage.
Speaker A: Yeah, usually they raise them and sell them and you know, you can maybe work out a deal with them, you know, to give you some of the money. Because a lot of farmers will buy 4H lambs over.
Speaker B: Well, they'll just have to buy the lambs and then what happens to them is up to them. You know, that's how it works for me. I don't try to do anything long term with whatever their plans are.
Speaker A: Yeah, I think that's the best way. I know Donna's kids did that. In fact, Donna's daughter went back to Red Bluff. That's where she went to school and she with the guest speaker at the 4H Club, over.
Speaker B: Well, that's cool. Yeah, I, I would have a lot to say about what I'm doing here. I've got the healthiest group of animals I've ever had. But. And I've learned a lot just recently. Now the, the, the ram I have produces females that are capable of giving a fair amount of milk. How much I won't know. I might not ever know. But that's the type of female lambs that they all get from what I have now.
Speaker A: Well, that's good. If there's a demand for it, I guess that's good. This is the Kilo India six. India India uniform for id. Back to you, grg.
Speaker B: Yeah, and I'll, like I say, I'll never know how that works out because I'm not going to keep record. And they're going to be doing what they do and producing milk or not producing milk. But the ram that is the father of all these is a Friesian and immediately you can see his breeding in these animals. The lamb looks very much like him. I haven't even found out whether it's a male or female just yet. But yeah.
Speaker A: How long you been in the lamb business? Over.
Speaker B: I think I'm coming up on 15 years.
Speaker A: Well, you probably know this is Kilo India 6 India India uniform. And yeah, I gotta run to the post office now. You know, they don't. It's funny, my CPA doesn't take card so I had to write him a check and I got to run the post office to mail it to him now. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, I can understand that credit cards require credit card machines and all that kind of thing. So I can see how that. What I would recommend to him would be to incorporate PayPal or maybe Venmo. But they probably tell you that you have to Pay the little percentage that is charged. But that's another way to do it.
Speaker A: Yeah, I could cut him a check. My bank could cut him a check and send it to him, but you know, I don't know what postage is, but no big deal for me. Yeah, I'll just send him a letter. I already wrote out the check and everything. So he'll be getting it probably in a couple days. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, they've even got ways. I haven't dealt with one in a while, but they've got ways where you can. Make a check at the bank site and then the bank site sends the checkout. It's actually possible to do that with some. Some banks. I haven't messed with that in a while though, anyway. Yeah. So are you home now?
Speaker A: I repeat that I missed that. Over.
Speaker B: Are you at home now?
Speaker A: Yeah, I'm at home and I'm getting ready to go to post office and my brother, you know, he spoke. He's in McKinleyville now and he's visiting my other brother and. And he might be coming through here and spending the night on his way home.
Speaker B: Over. Oh, wow. I wonder how the 299 did this winter. It was a crazy winter.
Speaker A: Well, I would have heard by now if he had trouble getting over there, he left here. It takes about four hours from here to get to McKinleyville and I didn't get any phone calls, so I guess he made it all right.
Speaker B: Over. Well, if you've been through in the last five years, you'll see this massive slide project that they had to deal with. Have you been through?
Speaker A: Yeah, I've been through there. Not too much in the winter, but I go through there a lot in the summer. I have never had a problem. Just that I wish there was more rest stops on the way or.
Speaker B: Well, a bunch of those winners. Before they finally got it somewhat worked out, they had to shut it down. Then they had to have guided a guided process to get through it.
Speaker A: And
Speaker B: at some time on, you had to go through only at certain times of the day. It was really tough for a while there.
Speaker A: Well, I never experienced anything like that. You know, I'll keep my ears open, make sure I get through before I leave. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, it's all summertime stuff. Unless something crazy happened right at the tail end of the winner, which if it did, it would take a while and I haven't heard of anything. I used to pay attention to that sort of thing anyway. Well, sounds like you're gonna have. You're gonna be a busy guy for a while.
Speaker A: Yeah, I think maybe we could schedule a face to face in April. I think that'd probably be best. Now, I didn't think he was going to finish my taxes today, but he did, which is good. I don't want to go back there, you know, unless it's a, you know, to meet somebody like you. But. Yeah, I was going to ask you, did India, Quebec, Papa check in today? Were you on the radio today? Over.
Speaker B: No, today was a special once a month Tuesday, a particular Tuesday that happens once a month where I can't be on the radio. I have to get out of here. I. And this particular time to go to where the volunteer effort happened. I actually did it on the E bike and left at 7:00'. Clock.
Speaker A: Well, then, you know, I was interested to see if he made it through La Paz yet or not. I know he was trying to make it to. It was a Cabo Falso. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, you know how it is in, in the Sea of Cortez, you. If you're trying to wait for good wind from the, from the, let's see, from the north, I guess you get it. You should get it a lot. It's the south wind. It's one that you. What you have to wait for. So. Yeah, I would think he would be able to make it that way.
Speaker A: Well, it's not too bad of a run from Partita to Magode, and I think that's where he's going to anchor out at Magode, which is right across from Marina de la Paz. Over.
Speaker B: Yeah, well, I'm just talking about that prevailing wind that generally comes from the north. But when you get inside the Sea of Cortez, it's not always that way, I guess.
Speaker A: You know, the last prediction that we got from the weatherman is their southerlies are starting to kick in, so he's going to get some light southerlies. And I think you can make it easily from Partita to the Magodia. And it's like four hours.
Speaker B: Over. Yeah, what I saw from. I was looking at it really close before I lost Internet and now I've got it back, I can start looking again. But what I saw was that if you tried to do some early morning stuff, there was that offshore thing and it'd be on the beam and you'd probably make pretty good time either direction, north or south,
Speaker A: there's a different wind thing. And around La Paz it's called the Carmels. I don't know if you ever heard of that term or not, but it's a wind that comes up at night and usually runs into the morning and then it calms down. That happens every day in the summer.
Speaker B: Over. Is it offshore or what is it?
Speaker A: It's a. I guess it's a wind that caused from the mountains near La Paz. And it gets really hot on the top of these mountains and then it's like a chabasco and it just moves across and it cools off. La Paz every day. That happens in the summer.
Speaker B: It's weird.
Speaker A: Over.
Speaker B: So it comes down off the mountains and maybe out into the Sea of Cortez.
Speaker A: Well, I don't know if you're familiar with the geography of La Paz. It's kind of in like a big bay area and it just whirls around in there. That's why they call this the magode dance is because the boats that are anchored in there, no matter which way the end the wind is coming from, the boats are all different directions. It is like a whirling wind. Over.
Speaker B: I like swinging around. So yeah, that'd be an interesting situation. I have heard that term cornwell quite a bit, but I've never heard it described. So you're the first to describe it.
Speaker A: Well, that's what usually happens. It not only happens. Well, it happens in La Paz. And then you get the big nasty ones that are called chabascos starting in like June or July and they run all through the summer. And. And those are nasty ones I caught. I guess it was in August one year. And we're talking about hurricane force winds. Over.
Speaker B: What's the pattern for them?
Speaker A: It's a thermally convective storm that comes off the mountains and rushes across the sea. Sometimes the clouds. Your city's big and thunderclouds and they. If they go straight up and dissipate, you're all right. But if they move across the sea, I mean, you're in big trouble. And you never know when it's going to happen. That you only got like a couple hours to prepare for it. Over.
Speaker B: So it could go north to south or south or I mean east to west or west to east. It could come off the western side and flow out. Or maybe come from the eastern side mainland and come out that way. Either way, maybe okay.
Speaker A: First they come off from east to west and then they go either to north or south. They're not predictable.
Speaker B: Over. Yeah. And actually seeing conditions like. Like that in the Sea of Cortez is really tough to do. There's no buoys. If they had buoys out there, you could actually see the wind speed and direction. That's all the buoys that are put out there by the. Well, not all of them, but say half of the buoys that are put out by the usa, which is very tight, they don't go south of the Mexican border. About half of those have wind speed and direction on them. And then there's a set of buoys that are way out in the ocean, but those don't help you when it comes to coastal stuff.
Speaker A: I just got a call from my son in Boston. I'm going to have to take this call. I've been trying to get a hold of them all day.
Speaker B: Days.
Speaker A: So we'll talk to you later, Mike.
Speaker B: Okay? All right. Well, make sure you park the car in the right spot. Talk to you later.
Speaker A: Okay, Mike. We'll talk to you later. Kilo India. 6. India.

Speaker A: I forgot one thing. Did you happen to stop by Sam's to get some coffee cups and lids?
Speaker B: No, I didn't. You want me to do that or do you want to just head out early enough to do it on our way.
Speaker A: Well, I'll leave that up to you. Although I am heading over. The sisters are heading over to mom's about 4, so that might be cutting a little close. So you might maybe ought to go now.
Speaker B: Okay, I can do that. All right, well, I'll see you in a little bit, then.
Speaker A: Okay. One more thing. You might want to stop by the RX counter to pick up some prescriptions. Okay. So I will go ahead and really say 73 now and I'll talk to you soon. K6KDS clear on your final.
Speaker B: All right, well, good info. Thanks for letting me know. And I'll head to Sam's. W6P and H clear.

Ks 6, TWR San Francisco calling any station. System 2, link up. Kilo oscar 6, mike bravo, india. We are having a power outage in the Mission District in San Francisco. If you're anywhere close to that, are you seeing the same thing? Negative. I'm on the Lynx system, system 16 here in Sacramento. So. Yeah, you're not local, so. Okay, well, thanks for the comeback. Yeah, we've been seeing intermittent outages of the Internet many afternoons and now the power is down, which could be due to the heat someplace. Now I do, I do work for a company that has some offices in San Francisco, so I can. I should go check in. Check in. I think somebody else came back with a comment about the Internet. Say you're on Union street. So it could just be a neighborhood thing. So, yeah, thanks for the comeback. System 19, link up.

Cuz you come running back. N6 ntm where's that wip? We're already up here. We didn't take the truck. We dropped off the truck. Otherwise you'd have been hearing me all the way back. She took the Hellcat. I don't know how many highway patrol and police officers she outran. But we made it home. It's got it. They got to be the worst watched car ever from all those Charger back east. And almost 95% colored people trying to get away from the cops in them. And they just don't drive good enough. The car can do it just. They're too powerful for a beginner. But anyway, yeah, we. We didn't just go up there then. Then we continued on up. We came back to Red Bluff which is only one exit away. But I thought that Camping World place was just around the corner when you leave Red Bluff. But it ain't. It's clean up in Anderson. So we went up there anyway and I got one of those deals you put on the water faucet. A regulator adjustable from 1 from 1 pound to 60 I think. But anyway, it's got a nice gauge on it. 33 bucks. And I wanted to get one of those things you can spray out the hole inside of the black tank from the drain. You know, it's that corner, it's the elbow, clear elbow that has a shut off valve on it. And then it's got a sealed place where you can slide that hose in straight in and. And it, it's. It spins and makes. Makes the whole circle. So you can do the roof of the black water tank and the sides and the bottom all at the same time. Yeah, it doesn't do the roof. Cool. Well, that's the reason why it's so clean. Oh well, I didn't get it. I wanted to get it. I got another water filter came with a little short hose for the regulator. With the regulator. So that I wouldn't mind having a 90 degree though so that you're not hanging the hose or bending the hose coming off the inlet. What else do we get? I got those little banana shaped things that you back up on. Goes from a half inch up to 4 inches the height. And eventually someday I need to back up on some stuff and see how high one of the wheels has to be off the ground until the other wheels off the ground. You ever try that?

Speaker A: Yeah, I filled it up a couple times. I just didn't recognize it. Yeah, when I went out to John, she had the regulator on that end. His regulator, he had a big old gargantuous one. I got a neat looking one. Doesn't take up much space and doesn't weigh anything, but. And then I don't. How old is your
Speaker B: dump hose. Anyway? I, I, the one that
Speaker A: John had was the best one I ever saw, really. And then I seen a couple of things. You got four of them. They make a bridge from the bottom of your trailer over to wherever your dump is. So you can make, make a bridge in case they got a curb or anything in the way. So it's downhill all the way. I would have liked to add that, but I didn't get that. I didn't get the one that you drive up on one of the tires and it lifts the other one off the ground. Because I want to see if that works with your kind of suspension. They had a lot of neat stuff. We got a, we got a bag. I did get the other water filter though, and the regulator and the little things you back up on. And then for $37 or something, you get 10, 10 cents off every gallon of gas you buy if you become a member of that camper world. And you get $10 off every national park or something that you go into, which mine are free anyway, but. And you get 10 automatic 10% off at any of the camping worlds you go into. And they give us $10 off right away and a big old phone book looking thing with all the places that have camper worlds and all that kind of information. Yeah. So we had a little bit of fun. Spent $200 there. We'll get that back after a year of roaming around now.

Speaker A: They fix it. But not entirely free. Huh? What it was. That was the $89 deal. That'd be cool. I
Speaker B: mean, they had a whole selection of washer and dryers that fit in most RVs. But the bigger ones. But the bigger ones, we're not going to. We're not going to do that. But I could probably make room for at least a washing machine and hang stuff out. I wouldn't mind having one of those little washing machines, you know, at the. At the kitchen table area.

Yeah. Now, wouldn't be too bad, but I. I just don't picture you. You're washing your clothes, and somebody else's washes their clothes, you know? You know, that's like loaning your comforter out.

I seen a T shirt today. It wasn't at Camping World. It was on one of them programs on keep your day dream style program. That said, just because I'm wandering around doesn't mean I'm lost.

System24 link up.

Speaker A: So none of them. None of them have any used rims that for sale and you know why they sell used rim and somebody gets a blowout they're screwed. And they they want like 250 or more for for a new one So I guess I'm just gonna wait around unless we find some on marketplace or something. Who knows I'll just wait oh I'll go get a can of that chrome looking paint that'll look even dorkier
Speaker B: than white. I don't see a
Speaker A: place for hubcaps
Speaker B: huh.
Speaker A: And and they're not applin wheels so alpen wheel so huh. Yeah let me know I could
Speaker B: probably live with. Remember when
Speaker A: Lucy Ricardo they were touring around in that one that was like 40ft long way way back in the day Black and white show I love Lucy no
Speaker B: that was a camper. That had
Speaker A: to be every bit of 35 or 40ft and yep you know damn well the frame had to be heavy to be that long and I'm pretty sure as I remember it was only a two axle.

Speaker A: Check. Trevor says that all your files on the synology are compressed and it takes a bunch of bandwidth to watch them.
Speaker B: You don't think it'll work? Cool. And all his aren't
Speaker A: compressed, huh? So he's using up a bunch of hard drive space, huh?

I know which one you use. You use the new Scum compression and discard.

Speaker A: Well, I. I'm gonna run outside and take the plastic bags off the swamp cooler. Looks like we're getting close
Speaker B: to using it. That's what I was going to tell
Speaker A: you. Yeah, that's awesome. If it's too late in the day for you, don't sweat it. And if you feel
Speaker B: like it, you're welcome. Oh, yeah. If you were bringing
Speaker A: Blake, I could understand. But you're always welcome. You can break. You can bring Blake, too, whenever you want. He's welcome, too, but he's got to stay outside.

Speaker A: And then you put something bigger in between the slot. It's got to move everything
Speaker B: else down a little bit. Yeah, that doesn't sound good. They did something
Speaker A: at one of the modern libraries. They're all on a long track roller or something, so as they get more books, then there isn't any room, you know, between S and T, for instance. It just makes the whole line longer. Yeah, it's
Speaker B: pretty, pretty cool. Seems like
Speaker A: I remember you saying something using that term. Maybe it was you telling me that
Speaker B: when I drive. All right. Oh,
Speaker A: yeah. Hey, you put one of them swimming pool tablets in there and I don't do any of that stuff. No, nothing. Legionnaires disease. How much does that cost? Mmm. Yeah, well, we don't want to waste any of the water that goes out, the overflow, so we just. We just run that into the faucet for washing dishes.

Speaker A: Kilo Kilo 7 Sierra. Kilo Whiskey doing a radio check on system 16. Carla. Station calling. Kilo7 Oscar Foxtrot Oscar. I got you loud and clear. Hey, roger that. I appreciate the comeback. Just on the east side of Sacramento. I just wanted to see how I'm getting into that back a box. But you're coming in loud and clear as well. Thanks for the comeback. 7 of KW.
Speaker B: No problem. 73 K7. Fkw standing by.

Yeah, Mine's not on the roof anyway. And how I do it out in the garage. But I'm taking that system down as I set the swamp cooler right on that 55 gallon drum, the plastic kind, and I just let it overrun. Then I put a second pump. A second pump out of the bottom of the barrel that pumps up to the top of the swamp cooler, see? Yeah, that works out real good. That way you got some temperature capacity. Yeah. And works good in the garage. But the swamp cooler don't work good in the garage because it, you know, it needs to be outside. I just can't bring myself to cut a hole in the back of the garage. But I was telling Scott the other day that that's the only way it's going to work good. So I guess I'm cutting it probably this year.

Home of the original 105 with a PL tone of 110.9. This is the W6 GRC repeater. Join us for our weekly net on Monday nights at 8:00pm.

Speaker A: Ice don't last long enough. We tried it, the 55 gallon drum underneath the trailer when we lived over in Forest Ranch. That worked fine because it was under the trailer where it stayed cooler longer in the morning than outside. And then that would carry over until most of the afternoon before that barrel warmed up. If you just had a few barrels, it probably last all day. All right,
Speaker B: I'm going to clean it. N6NTM See you, Blake. And 6 ntm.

Speaker B: Ki6 smn, kf6 Obi.
Speaker A: Kf6 Obi, ki6 smn. Just got back. Chico. Saw your text, just thought I'd check it out real quick. And obviously it's working.
Speaker B: Well, thank you. Yeah, it looks like everything is up and running. You'll have to test the HF side this evening sometime or tomorrow. But everything is looking good right now. I didn't find anything. I just cleaned some stuff up, checked everything and then power cycled.
Speaker A: Yeah, copy that. I had before left for Chico. I had unplugged the unit here and only plugged it in now when we got back. So it was offline for what, maybe three hours. And the green light came on. Stayed south. So I figured it was working, but until we could talk to each other, didn't know for sure.
Speaker B: Roger that, it is working. And sorry about last night.
Speaker A: I should have checked it out. I usually turn the radio on about a half hour before and check it to make sure it's working. And I didn't do that last night. So. Thanks for giving me the relay and. And your work today. Appreciate it very much. So 73 from Ki6smf.

Speaker B: Yeah, not the
Speaker A: tuner, I think.
Speaker B: Anyway. Yeah, so LibreOffice opens up that file. No problem. Anyway, on my Linux. But you know, LibreOffice is like. I put it on my wife's when the Microsoft stuff ran out, I just put it on that and she's been using that ever since. And she's using it right now in LibreOffice. So it work on Microsoft systems too.

Speaker A: Okay, yeah. So, yeah, because if you have no program on your computer at all, you have an old Microsoft Windows, you know, it's going to say that of course, because you don't have current whatever registered copy, whatever they call current. But yeah, if you have another program like LibreOffice that you install on your computer instead of Microsoft Office, it has all that stuff, right. Just like you want. You don't, you know, your get rid of publisher. Well, LibreOffice has their version of the same thing, right. So, I mean, people are getting stuck just because, you know, you had it forever or whatever. You know what I mean? But yeah, there's alternatives out there. I'm just suggesting one. There's many alternatives, I'm sure. You don't have to have Microsoft Office. Haven't had to have it
Speaker B: 10 years, at least. Black. What's that mean? I don't know. I'm just looking at a spreadsheet. So
Speaker A: everything's white with black letters. So maybe that has something to do with the color scheme or something like that. I don't know. Take a picture of it on my, on my computer and I'll just text that to you.
Speaker B: I know there's
Speaker A: pictures when I do that, but.
