Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

1850ft mark east of Chico have clouds and occasionally a sprinkle but I'm almost 200 miles from you.

 

Pouring rain at 4:30 this morning here in the ghetto... micro climate of the peninsula?

 

YWMV, clear in some places, raining in others as storm cells pass. That's what I heard.

 

They can only predict the weather for us. Sometimes the government plains leave to late or have mechanical issues that delay the weather when the spray us.

 

For rainy days the myradar app is ok for tracking cells as they approach. The delay is only about 15 minutes which is enough time for the radar to register a cell off the coast. The app plays a gif of 1 hour that gets updated every 15 minutes or so.

 

Well 100 mile east of you we have bright clear skies too. Most of the storm went north of here apparently: 0.5" snow at 4000'

Tahoe got a foot as reported by @jberry813

 

Anyone every use the QRZ site for a ham practice test? It's freaking awesome. Keeps all the tests you have done and starts you off where you left off.

 

I printed out the full question pool pdf and highlighted all the answers the night before. Then in the truck before the test I skimmed the sections that are tough (the maths ones). The test is then a subset of the question pool with the answers in a different order. semi photographic memory can pass and never remember shit later on, but it is enough to use a ham radio improperly in a truck.

The apps just slowly run you through the question pool, same with the classes.

 

I have a yasue 2900 I want to throw in my
Tacoma along with my 10meter that I converted to CB. I have enough power and channels to reach the moon if needed.

 

Nobody is on the moon to talk to you, though.

 

FTFY

 

Elvis is there. I think.

 

Love me some Kinders. Local, fast, and tasty

 

I totally agree. Oh wait not local for me. I'm going to have to smoke some ribs. This is Killin me!

 

There's one downtown chico.

 

ball tip (yes) with extra bbq sauce. Make it messy

 

I totally forgot them. I know right where that's at. Been there with a sober driver twice. I will have to go hit it.

 

FTFY

I love it the hotter the better.

Then I regret and pay dearly the next morning and swear I’ll never do hot again.
