KM6VFF. I am NCS for an AmRRON Two Meter net on the second and fourth Thursday of each month at 1930 hours, on the W6RHC West repeater. The W6RHC West repeater info is: 145.410, - 600 KHz offset, PL 123.0. I have been able to open the repeater from the Sacto area. The alternate repeater is N6YCK :147.105, + 600 KHz offset, PL 110.9, unlikely you can hit this one unless you have a tall tower.. I usually only get one or two checkins so it doesn't take long. Most AmRRON members in LOS range are using HF and digital modes anyway.
I can also hit this repeater on the Sutter Buttes; WD6AXM, 146.085, + 0.6, Tone 127.3. Glad to have another Brushbeater forum member behind enemy lines

Indeed; I don't think I can hit those but I can try... Hope to hear from you soon. I'm normally on the w6EK repeater or when I am in the Central Valley some repeaters in Stockton/Lodi/Modesto and Livermore....

Bad, very little rain last Winter. All North State reservoirs are very low, potential for reduced power generation. Houseboats have been advised to be removed from Lake Oroville before ramps become unuseable. Many older ( shallow) domestic wells in my AO are going dry, a combination of no recharge and increased ag wells. The State power grid operators have asked EV owners to not charge vehicles during high demand times.
