8dMiss you guys a lot. Take care.
K7IN - Paul @K7IN
8dHi Debora! That is a VERY nice looking place you have found. I am glad things are working out and you can get settled into your new life.
Deborah @KJ7YAK
8dHi Paul.
Deborah @KJ7YAK
8dThanks.
Deborah @KJ7YAK
8dI really didn't expect anyone to be here before I left since it's an hour until the net.
Deborah @KJ7YAK
8dUnfortunately 20:00 hours there is 22:00 hours here and we have to get up at 04:30 tomorrow. I will check out the chat tomorrow between chores. I am doing a bunch of food prep this week. Trying to re-stock my freezer.
Deborah @KJ7YAK
8dFeels kinda weird prepping for tornadoes instead of wildfires...
Deborah @KJ7YAK
8dNight Paul. Take care.
K7IN - Paul @K7IN
8dGood night, Deb. I'm glad you have a very sturdy home. Tornadoes are not very nice and I hope you have a shelter there. Good to hear from you too! Please check in as often as you can. I'm sure others are happy to connect.

8dHi, dad!
K7KBJ @kjuenke
8dIs that JC my son?
K7KBJ @kjuenke
8dHeeeeHeeeee
Idaho70 @Idaho70
8dGoing religious on us Ken?
K7KBJ @kjuenke
8dGoing???
JC @JC
8dWell this is awkward because I'm not the son
[/size][size=0px]
(wink)[/size]
Idaho70 @Idaho70 8d
You certainly not the son. Looking forward to seeing you Friday.
JC @JC 8d
Me too! Since I'm beginning this journey, any advice on earthquake and volcano prepping I'm all for learning!
Idaho70 @Idaho70 8d
Very small chat room tonight.
David - K7DWW @k7dww 8d
Ken...Possible 1st queston - WE talk about "Gray Man." Not advertising or standing out as someone that is prepared. What steps or techniques do you use to practice that technique.
KK7CON- Kristin @KK7CON 8d
Good Evening everyone!!
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
JC, email me at [font=Varela Round !important]k7kbj@arrl.net[/font] and I will send you some links that may help answer your questions.
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
Hi Kristin
JC @JC 8d
Oh, I like that question. We just moved to a new area and I'm hesitant of this and haven't heard of "Gray Man." And I'll send an email now!
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
Oh, JC must be Keith's son. I could'a read more.
David - K7DWW @k7dww 8d
Possible question #2 - If, God forbid an event occurs and will last several weeks...and if the repeater system goes down...what types of HF antennas do you recommend and why.
JC @JC 8d
I'm Keith's daughter, but yeah, tied to him

K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
David. Sure, grey man is always a good topic. We can combine that with hiding preps in plain sight.
David - K7DWW @k7dww 8d
And the other ?
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
Oops ! JC, sorry. Couldn't tell
[/color][/size]
[/size][size=0px][/color]
(smile)[/size]
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
Yikes, too many antenna choices depending on where you live and how much room you have. That could take a long time.
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
IMHO
David - K7DWW @k7dww 8d
so...
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d

K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Hello. Sorry I missed Deborah.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Good questions. I tried the repeater again. Not ready yet.
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
Jerry, I try the repeater about 3 times a day.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Wow!
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
I try to be Gray Man at times. I cannot do it all the time as I need to be me and know for publicity purposes. I do have a couple of articles I have written. I will post them, along with several others that I should have posted a couple of weeks agaon.
K7IN - Paul @K7IN 8d
The Virginia Peak repeater and links radios will be back up if all goes according to plan, sometime in May. The repeaters are being replaced with new equipment and most of the link radios will remain that are working properly. So, give them a couple of weeks but, check as often as you like.

Will do, Paul. You may have told me that already and with the memory problems from Gabapentin and age, I probably forgot.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Boy, everyone is sounding good tonight.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Gray Man (or Woman) I try to wear decent but older clothing. Nothing flashy of course, Unless the environment where I am located is mostly people in flashy clothing. The point of gray man/woman is to look like those around you. A person will stand out in very plain clothing if everyone else is dressed very upscale.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
However, in general, subdued clothing styles and colors without identifying marks, logos, etc. Also avoid clothing with slogans, symbols, and such. Especially those that are politically or socially controversial.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
I use gray man/woman. lol
Idaho70 @Idaho70 8d
Gray is the new show off. Things are getting dicey to say the least so go gray and stay there. Keep quiet and keep your stuff out of sight or well disguised.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Obviously military packs really stand out. Using subdued color day packs or book bags, messenger bags. Using computer cases can invite an attempt to steal it.
JC @JC 8d
For smaller items, maybe use a yoga pad bag? No one pays attention to that
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Exactly correct, Idaho. I cannot remember your name. I am sorry. Referemce my memory problems.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Or roll compact things up in a yoga pad with a strap around it if you do not have a pad bag.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 8d
Idaho is Keith and JC is my daughter
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
I will dry to remember. With that post I can scroll up and check for it.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Gray Woman, avoid tall spike heels, not only to avoid attention but to be able to move fast and surely if needed.
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
Yes, yoga bags would probably be good because they are ordinary and not unusual these days.
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
Something like an attache case chained to your wrist.... horrible idea !
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Gray man/woman food can be kept in a small pantry for a couple of days. The rest kept in a separate pantry or other area that is not visible by visitors.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
I have never seen a yoga bag of which I am aware.
K7KBJ @kjuenke 8d
I freeze dried some raw eggs. Totally awesome!!!! They hydrate and cook up perfectly.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
One item I intend to get when I can afford it is a Scott-e-vest. It is similar to a fisher person's or photographer's vest except the pouches are on the inside. There are various models with different numbers of pouches.
JC @JC 8d
My mom freeze dries eggs! Truth be told, I've been using them given egg prices. So good! Egg tacos always make a great day!
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
For HF radio comms during relatively minor situations I like the screwdriver antennas. I have a couple of favorites but they are both pretty expensive. However, there are a couple of less expensive versions available. Some can go from 6m to 80meters. A few can do 160 meters with add-on kits or are part of the original unit.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
Most can be mounted on something like a patio table, especially a metal one. On a stake in the ground, a tripod that is tied down. Or simply have it mounted on a vehicle like normal.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
It is a balancing act. However, I think with some outside-the-box thinking Gray man/woman can be achieved. Again, the articles I mentioned have quite a few of those kinds of ideas. I am not sure how many go to [font=Varela Round !important]nnpg.net[/font] forum and look at the articles, but they are there.[font=Varela Round !important]

K7IN - Paul @K7IN 8d
Storage of prepper supplies can also be done in the crawl space of your home using plastic containers with dessicant pods. These should have a good seal on their lids and can be easily labeled for content. Access is usually through an outside hatch but, you can also cut one into a closet inside the house. That way your supplies are out of sight to anyone coming into your house. Having an access hatch in a closet means you can get to what you need without having to go outside your home.

JC @JC 8d
Goodnight everyone, thank you for all the knowledge!
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
I have used totes full of preps instead of a bed frame. With a... cannot remember what it is called, but the ruffled cloth hanging down from under the matteras to the floor to cover the fact that there are totes instead of a bed frame. I use a two-wide by five end-to-end under my twin size bed. That was twenty totes full of preps.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
And Good Night again. For real this time. I need to take my meds.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 8d
A couple of trips to Reno and half a dozen between my two small storage rooms here to a much larger one here has completely wiped me ouit physically and the theft has done the same thing mentally and emotionally.

K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
Hey, David. And JC. Been better. Couple of bad days. I will punch out of it soon. Got one of the meds I have been waiting to come in. It should help get my blood sugar back down.

Ken...Possible question #1...what benefits will "packet" radio play in the event of an emergency?
David - K7DWW @k7dww 23h
Hi Keith

Glad you could make it, you always add so much to the discussion. Keith
David - K7DWW @k7dww 23h
Keith...we had snow two days in a row...Tell me Idaho is warmer!
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
Since not too many people are geared up for packet it would make a good control channel for leadership people.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 23h
Hit 87 yesterday and 84 today. Too hot.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
We had a couple of those days over the weekend here in Winnemucca. Hit me like a ton of bricks.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
Like walking into a wall when I went outside.
David - K7DWW @k7dww 23h
Ken...Question #2 - We've discussed chickens and rabbits as good prepper animals...what others should be considered and why
David - K7DWW @k7dww 23h
Had 2 inches this morning, but all gone by 10:30
Idaho70 @Idaho70 23h
Snow is pretty much gone up here, but now comes the road repairs and such and then onto preparing for the next winter. But right now spring and summer are absolutely beautiful. Rivers running very high.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
If there is a group that can provide the breeding stock and keep the genetics viable I would say a milk cow. It does take quite a bit of infrastructure however, with needing to be freshened every year, birthing the calf, and doing without the milk for those months between breeding and delivery.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
I would say pigs would be the next best choice until a group could support a milk cow.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 23h
Heat changing so quickly is very toiugh.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
Sounding good on the link on the computer.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 23h
Quail, guinnie (sp) hens. Protein, eggs and security sirens. Worms for fishing, improving ground and feeding the birds.
David - K7DWW @k7dww 23h
Ken's not available...I've got th net tonight...
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
Those with packet will have an advantage over those that do not with the reliability and clarity that packet can make possible. Less traffic interference I believe. Certainly not an absolute, but better than many of the alternatives.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
Good points, Keith.
David - K7DWW @k7dww 23h
Hi everyone
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 23h
I tend to think of the main stock animals such as chickens, pigs, milk cow, beef cattle.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Hey David.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Hey Stacie.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
Gotta keep the birds fed during winter. No bugs to forage on unless you set up your own bug growing facility.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
Hi everyone
Stacie @KJ7RNN 22h
Hi Jerry and everyone!
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
I think, with a vertical grow aquaponics greenhouse, worm beds, and rabbit hutches bugs could also be herded and kept for the various other birds and such. Year round.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
I like the stock animals also as I grew up on a cattle ranch. Need to add goats to list on animals as well as sheep. Cows take up a large area, also include horses for work and travel. People with smaller places can make do with milk and meat goats and sheep.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
I know. I just do not like goats or sheep. We had both a couple of times when I was growing up on the tiny homestead. They were so much work for so little gain.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
That is a really good idea about vertical growing
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Of course we had two milk cows that were serviced by one or the other of a couple of our friends with bulls. 25 or so chickens, usually two runt piglets we got from our landlord who was a cattle and pig farmer and always had a few that would not make it without special care.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
Pygmy goats can produce a gallon or more of milk per day. Being a beef cattleman I must admit I really hate milking animals twice a day.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
I think the combination of a good greenhouse, vertical grow system as part of an aquaponics system with the rabbits and worms completing the circuit.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
I was too young to have to milk. I was the chicken herder and dog feeder and waterer.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
Rabbits give you protein and fertilizer which will keep the worms happy and thus happy and full chickens.

Peaceful Companion @guest1283464 22h
Hi K6ST
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
That is for sure. And worms are a treat for the fish, as well. I believe that a chicken coop can be build against the greenhouse with limited access to the garden for bug control. A large protected run plus a couple of chicken tractors to essentially free range the chickens.

Peaceful Companion @guest1283464 22h
I will check i with a couple of questions
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Did a bunch in southeast Missouri. First by hand and then my father build a mechanical driver that made it much easier. We went to 2" wells after he made the driver where before 1 1/4" was about all we could manage. We did a couple of 2" driven wells by hand and it nearly killed us both.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
We found a really high quality point that had features that made it much better than the standard points with the screen on the outside of the pipe. I will find a link and post it in chat on [font=Varela Round !important]nnpg.net[/font] chat.[font=Varela Round !important]

My chickens overnight in a conex for bear protection. During the day they are free to roam.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
I've been trying for a couple days. Hitting sandstone (I believe) about 6 feet down. I can't figure out how to get through it. I've pounded and pounded and nothing. Tried an earth auger to drill down a bit and got stuck at the same point with that too.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
I will also post my articles and drawings of that driver and the method we used to jet PVC wells.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
I'm in water about three feet down, so it'll work until late summer. But it won't be reliable. Lol
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
When you drive a point into sand it is like gripping the pipe in a vice that has sandpaper on the jaws. It locks it up tight. It takes lot of hammering to get through it. Or, perhaps switching to jetting the point in.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
I'll check the forum and see what else you post Jerry.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Nor safe. Water that shallow will have all kinds of stuff in it.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
Exactly. We just use it for bathing, not ingesting in any way though.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Okay. I will put up all my water and wells articles before next Wednesday. I will try to get it up tomorrow.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Ah. That is not so bad. What has the draw been?
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
I haven't actually tried pulling from the well yet. We've been pulling water straight out of the creek for the last year.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
I tend to agree, Johann. More people will have analog than any other mode. CW would work if you hand send. Given power a Morse generator reader would help, I think. Part of it depends on the goal of the conversation is. Some things need to be as private as possible. Some of it needs to be heard by as many people as possible.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Okay. Got it. Is the creek close enough to where the well needs to be to provide water to use to jet a point in?
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Actually pulling from a tank is better so the water can be recycled the easiest.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Which is needed to get enough clays in the water to help seal the hole as it goes down. Long enough to get the pipe and point to the bottom of the hole.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
Yeah. We have surface water maybe 20ft from where the well is going.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Did you dowse the property for the location for the well?
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
No, just went to the lowest point that is easily accessible, and where I know there is water year round because I dug a hole 🤣
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Oh. With surface water right there just about any location should be adequate. We just had a policy that if we dowsed we guaranteed a minimum of 5-gallons of water or more. If it was lesss we did not charge them.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
That works, too. lol
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
Dousing for water is pretty accurate if done by someone who knows what they are doing. My Dad always said he did not believe in it, but boy could he find the water with a willow fork.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Yep. In over 500 wells we put in after I started dowsing we did not have a single failue. Cannot say the same for the 50 or so that we put in before I began to dowse.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
That's really cool.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
Jerry has the touch!
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Thank you!
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
I'll check the forum in a couple days for your info. I think jetting might work. If that doesn't I'm about to the point that I'm going to dig a huge hole down to whatever I'm hitting and go at it with a pickaxe. That should keep me busy for a few days. Hah
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
You would not believe the stuff I have found myself doing.
Idaho70 @Idaho70 22h
It is truly amazing the things that we now deny in our tech world that really worked back in the day.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Beg, borrow, or ... a small rotortiller to break the gound up for easy shoveling. Be sure to have plenty of ventilation, though.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Yep. My father doubted the dowsing, but after went back and checked some of the wells already in and those that showed being in a stream were the good ones and those went in between streams might have had water but the quantity was much less. He was convinced.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Okay. I found the article about driving steel points and the links are still valid that show the good drive couplings, drive caps, and the points we used. I will get it up right after this net.
W7LTE @W7LTE 22h
Awesome

K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Understood. Yeah, but it sure beats the only alternative!
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
CW is the best weak signal mode.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
While not as good as a good ear and good hand for receiving and transmitting the CW (Morse Code), using a box that reads the signal and displays the letters and the box that takes keystrokes and converts them to the Morse Code and sends it to the transmitter.
K7KKX - Jerry D Young @K7KKX 22h
Like any electronic system, these converters, as good as they are, just simply cannot do quite as well interpreting a a weak signal Morse code CW signal.
