Yeah, yeah, so there's a lot of animals here. The wild ones are the coyotes. On this particular area in San Diego, they're pretty aggressive compared to the last residence I have, which is east of the Pines, probably 40 miles east from where I'm at. The owls are aggressive too, and I think we have bobcats. Yeah, but you rarely see them. You see the coyotes first, and then of course in the summertime the rattlesnake comes out. Yeah, it's pretty fun back here. Yeah, well good stuff. We'll definitely stay safe there. I guess where I live too, I pretty much have all of those except the rattlesnakes. I think those generally are in eastern Washington and stuff. Definitely got the coyotes and, oh my gosh, bobcats and all that good stuff there. All right, we'll be safe there for sure. I'll let you get back to hiking and I'll step away here for just a little bit. But hey, thanks for coming in.

The rare ones are probably in South Africa and, what do you call this, South Africa and Europe, some countries in Europe. You're also looking at Antarctica. On Antarctica, I only have like probably less than 10 stations that I was able to log in, but they're all at the F.D.A. and I'm looking forward to doing a phone contact on Antarctica and probably some of the countries that I mentioned that are rare, not the common ones. China is coming out strong nowadays and in the past. There's a lot of stations coming out there. So, yeah, back to you. I love when a D.A.X. station, I haven't seen before it comes up, whether on F.D.A. or on the phone and to see new countries.

On November 16, 2024, 0251 hours, KD6CWI, what is today? Today is the 9th. We're very, very close to exactly one year from the first time we talked on this exact same repeater way back when, from KK7WID. This is repeater station. It looks like you followed my lead on logging and like I said in the past, a lot of people heard me already. I pretty much log everything, including visual contacts like Echo Link, Droid Star, Zello, Peanut. The way to log those, the most important thing is the time and the UTC and the date. The frequency doesn't matter because they'll give you a star on that. I use the default on the frequency, usually two meters, 144.000. On the comment section, I put in Peanut, it's either I use the computer or my phone, which is a Google Pixel 7. I put that on the comment and I can tell the station once we connect again, that's how we initially connected. Back to you. As I heard you were telling the guy that was running that control, you're on some sort of a crossband repeater situation here. You're on a hike on your handheld and you're hitting a node back at your house somehow to get on Echo Link.
