Hi, this is KM6 TCN operator Dimitri in Oakland Zone 066.
00:08
And yeah, the earthquake woke me up. I was in bed and it was quite a rattle here over near Piedont in Oakland.
00:18
But everything was okay, just a few things fell out the shelf.
00:23
Cam6 TCN clear.
00:29
Very good, thank you, Dimitri. Glad you guys were relatively unaffected. Next up is KI6, IJF. Go ahead.
00:42
This is KI6, IJF, Rowland, Oakland, Evacuation Zone 098.998.
00:49
Yeah, I thought the earthquake was in my dream, but I woke up 15 hours later,
00:56
4 by foot. 5-foot painting fell off the walls because the hangar hook was really too small for the device, so it bented enough that it failed 15 hours later.
01:11
K-A-6, IJF out.
01:15
All right, interesting Yeah, delayed response there
01:20
And good reminder of that attaching things to the wall very securely is important around here
01:26
That goes for paintings as well as furniture, other things like to topple over
01:31
All right, thank you Roland
01:33
Next,
01:35

All right, six stations and my pen ran out of ink in the middle, so I'm going back over this with a pencil right now, before I forget who's what.
02:22
All right, um,
02:24
let us start with N8PDH. Go ahead.
02:29
Okay, good afternoon to everybody on the net, and this is... Right now, we're at near Ashby Ave and Shattuck Ave, I don't know the coat,
02:43
but anyways,
02:46
at 3 a.m. in the morning, yeah, we were woke, I was woke up, Donna was already up,
02:53
and, yeah,
02:54
a couple things fell off the...
02:57
Yeah,
02:59
the thing, especially in the bathroom, but no major things were broken.
03:06
But, yeah, and then we had the one at 8 o'clock,
03:09
and I didn't feel that. Donna felt that one, but I felt the one at 6 o'clock,
03:15
and that's interesting.
03:17
But anyway,
03:19
last week we were talking about even having a gas shut-off valve and batteries, and...
03:27
checking water, so the net was right on spot last week in our discussion.
03:33
NAPH. All right, thanks, Keith.
03:38
Glad to hear you guys fared well.
03:40
Thanks for the check-in. Next up is K6 VP. Go ahead.
03:45
Good afternoon.
03:46
This is Kelo6, Victor Poppa, Dan, in San Jose. I didn't fuel the Berkeley earthquake since it was at 256 a.m.
03:54
4.3 and 45 miles away, I was still sound asleep, and I didn't feel any of the aftershocks either.
04:01
It is 86 degrees in San Jose and 39% relative humidity.
04:06
K6 VP.
04:11
Thank you, Dan, for the check-in, glad you were able to sleep through it all peacefully.
04:17
Very good.
04:18
Yeah, speaking of the weather,
04:20
roof here in Berkeley is showing 80 degrees right now. The forecast was for, what was it,
04:25
87, 89, something, so it's going to get hot this afternoon,
04:29
especially for us here,
04:31
spoiled Bay Area, folks.
04:34
Anyway,
04:35
thanks again, Dan. Next is N6, DLP. Go ahead.
04:41
This is an 16LP Donna in Berkeley,
04:44
evacuation code's role number.
04:48
Wait a minute, what are we? I don't know if it's saying that you're working at. I'm at near Ashby Ave and Shattuck Ave. I don't know what the cold number is,
04:57
but that's what we are.
04:59
And I thought all of them. I happen to be up and walking around when the first one hit.
05:06
And I just sat down on the couch and waded it out.
05:10
This is where everything fall down.
05:12
We have to have things falling down because we're only one mile away from what happens.
05:18
The second one I felt, because I was sitting on the couch,
05:21
and thinking about the happy aftershock eventually.
05:23
He didn't fill it, but I did.
05:27
The third one we both felt because they're up about, up and about getting dinner.
05:34
But it didn't knock things down like the first one did.
05:37
So I can think about what's the time to make sure everything's ready to go.
05:44
So I haven't known, we got expired things, and we got a lot that I like to do.
05:50
I'm just going to change the way the bathroom is because the bathroom was a mess and changed my bathroom around.
05:57
Other than that,
05:58
nothing more to report.
05:59
I'm glad everyone in our building was safe, and everyone that we talked to so far as safe.
06:04
That's good.
06:05
By the way.
06:06
The phone lives in 73 degrees and Berkeley.
06:10
I feel a lot hotter than that. I don't know what it is outside with the phone. Something different than when I'm feeling inside.
06:18
Okay, back to that in that and 60, please.
06:23
Thank you, Donna. Yeah,
06:25
my Webber Station just went up to 81 on the roof here, so it's definitely heating up.
06:29
And, yeah, let me know what you come up with for securing stuff in the bathroom as well as other shelves. I'm trying to figure out how to keep stuff from sliding off the shelves, whether I put a little lip or I know some stores will have like a string going in front of the shelves to keep things from falling off in model earthquakes.
06:48
So ideas there would be interesting to see.
06:52
All right, very good. Next up is W7WEB. Go ahead.
07:00
W7WEB, this is Weldon in Berkeley evacuation zone 4-6. Yeah,
07:07
we definitely felt two of the quakes on Monday. We felt the early morning one, and we felt the 621 p.m.
07:15
Apparently after shock, which I got on the air on this repeater for.
07:19
No real apparent property damage around here. I think the only thing it was damaged was a good night's sleep.
07:25
Neither my wife nor I really got back to... solid sleep after we were woken up close to 3 a.m.
07:31
on Monday morning.
07:33
But,
07:34
you know, if that's the worst damage, I'll take it.
07:36
Back to that control, W7W.EB.
07:42
Thanks, Robin. Yeah, I was so far, well, it woke me up, but I was pretty sound asleep. And so instead of getting on the radio, I couldn't get myself to get up. I was like, oh, if it stopped this quick, I'm going right back to sleep. Anyway,
07:58
sorry to hear you guys were kept up quiet.
08:01
All right, next station is N6 SB. Go ahead.
08:08
Hey, good afternoon, Chris and Nett, N6 SSB Jim Mobile in San Leandro, popping into Kaiser Hospital for the annual flu shot.
08:18
In evacuation zone, SLE,
08:21
E013.
08:22
I slept through the earthquake, thank goodness, which is a pleasant change,
08:29
and nothing else to report here.
08:31
Have a great afternoon, N6 SSB.
08:38
All right, Jim, thanks for the check-in. Great to hear you on the air.
08:42
Good luck with the flu shot.
08:44
Maybe you can get the COVID shot as well while you're there.
08:47
I need to go do that for myself and my son,
08:51
maybe even sometime this week, hopefully.
08:55
Very good. Next station is KM6, IHB. Go ahead.
