Well, good evening bill. Thank you for doing the net. Good evening everybody on the net. I Hope I I hope I do the presentation justice. I Gotta put some more thoughts together and stuff. Anyway, let's see My first thought is DV switch and all-star. It's great when it works sometimes it has a tendency of not working so I just need to remember that I was trying to I was I was en route I was mobile in Chicago earlier and I just used dv switch to connect up to my node in the clouds my cloud hub server and it just wasn't working and then I was like why isn't it working I was like oh it probably just needs to be rebooted and sure enough I came home I rebooted it and now here I am talking to you so technology technology that's all I'm gonna say let's see I was out in this evening just gallivanting going to some stores doing some shopping and browsing and then then I was excuse me I was trying to chase down mesh core repeaters in Chicago. I have to report that Chicago is a bit of a technological and cultural backwater. I think they're still trying to make mesh-tastic work. There's not much in the way of the mesh core but I set up a repeater here in my second floor window of my mom's house. I'm going leave this here you know under the under the theory if they build it they will come so I've got that and I've got a little 433 megahertz LoRa APRS digipeater as well so I just got to figure out a little housing to put it on the outside of the window so that's going to be my project for this week but I was driving around doing some war driving I went over to some known sites that apparently repeaters on the map and I tried to hit them tried to ping them no avail but I found another one that wasn't on the map anyway it was kind of fun even though yeah we are spoiled in the PNW I've heard that Southern California Boston and the Pacific Northwest are the biggest in the I think in the continent And let's say Continental North America are the biggest adopters. I see Madison, Wisconsin is actually on the map. So there it is. But yeah, the PNW, we're spoiled. I think we've got the biggest network. So there we go. All right. Well, that's it for my report. I think I timed out. So have a good evening, KB9IQX. Thanks for doing the net. KB9IQX, K7WSD. You're very welcome, Amy. Thank you for that thorough report on the status of the United Chicagoans who haven't found their way from their statistics yet. But you're doing your part. You're right. Build it and they will come. And yeah, good for you to do the APRS. I know the word, but I can't think of it. Good for you in any case, and we are looking for that presentation. Wonderful. Let's see where we are on our list now. Oh, we're coming back up. Well, we had the IO from Australia and then OD, KG7ODD. Dean, recheck what you got.
