in the Lucerne Valley. But, yeah, all around. I think in between Lucerne Valley and Barstow, I think they got some flash flooding along Highway 247. But, yeah, summertime monsoonal stuff. A little muggy. Anyway, that's it for me, Judy. On my way into work. Let me take a quick break, and I'll pull the hunter's joke.

is the head.
00:23
You tickle it in the middle and see which end laughs. All right, everyone. Have a good day. Thanks a lot, Judy. And stay cool. N6VDR. Let's pass this over to Mike. Good morning, Mike. QG. Yeah, I guess Mike is over at his mother's looking for more tolerance. All right. David, Alex, with Petunia, Bonnie, and Eric.
00:52
Don't know where they are. Try one more time. David, Alex, with Petunia, Bonnie, and Eric. Okay, let's see if Ellen DZs with us or if she's out hurting her sheep. And we'll go to Gary, followed by John.
01:13
for it. Judy, I like it when they're all here because I've got lots to listen to. Yeah, I'm about ready to go out with the sheep, and I'll take the H.T., but I'll make this my one and done because if I can break in, I will, but mostly I'm going on the south side, which is there's no more line of sight to Keller. So it is a good day, and it's so much drier today. What a blessing that is because we've just had way too much humidity. So all of you take care.
01:42
This is LMK6DV, and I'll be one and done, most probably. One and done, huh? Well, I've heard that one from you before. Ha ha. We'll see. Anyway, moving along today this morning, it's a beautiful morning over here in lovely Yucaypa. And as far as speaking with the world of electronics and cars and batteries and all that stuff,
02:07
Most of the modern-day cars, I used modern-day. I started around 2000, which already makes that 25 years old, but still, the electronics started getting pretty heavy at that point. The concept of having alternators where the rectifier bridges have leakage and you have AC current going into the system is really not good. And as time moved on, the alternators kept getting larger and larger and larger. So in the event that if you were to take your voltmeter and put it across the battery and put it on...
02:37
AC, you should not see any more than 0.5 volts AC ripple coming across. Otherwise, there's a very good chance destruction of components can start to take place. Like I had mentioned once before, break. It's like shooting at somebody a mile away with no scope, and you can't tell if you shot him and hit him, wounded them, killed them, or whatever the case may be.
03:05
With that little bit of tidbits of information, I think I'm going to pass it on over to John at this point. N6JWH, this is K-O-6HRX. There is N6JWH. Good morning, everyone. 70 degrees over here. It's beautiful morning, nice and clear. Just a little bit of a breeze.
03:32
Looks like it's coming out of the northwest. No rain here yesterday, but part of the Lucerne Valley and northward got hammered. Part of 247 is closed by, there's a restaurant called Slash X on that road there, and I guess a lot of flooding and undercutting of the highway and so forth.
04:02
Highway 66 east of Barstow got flooded, and there was mud across the I-40. So it was pretty wild up there yesterday.
