Yeah, WB4AIZ from GWA. They're out there over here in Newport, South Wales with the IRNKB1 multi-monad. Okay there, Chuck, you take care. It's great to hear from you. It's been quite some time since we've had a chat. And nice to know you're doing well over there in Florida. Well, we're obviously not as warm as Florida at the moment. We're coming up to about 60 degrees, 2 degrees, at the moment. It's coming up to 11pm here in South Wales in the UK there, Chuck. Fantastic to hear from you. And we'll talk to you again very, very soon. So I'll say 7 feet to Chuck over there in Florida. That's WB4AIZ. And a blue screen check in from Dirk Victor Echo, 3X-ray Delta Bravo. So before I call for any further check-ins, we've got to go to Dirk. V3XDB, we did an ECW lately. One of the HF bands, right, because I have another chance. So listen, V3XDB, WUH-ZL. Well, good evening, Dave. And if Sue is there in the background, hi to Sue and Graham and Helen and Declan and whoever else is listening. Hope all is well with everyone. Yeah, I was on yesterday for a while, but the bands have been just terrible, Dave. Don't even bother. I worked somebody in Ohio on 40 meters across the lake, and he gave me a blazing 439 or something like that. And I gave him a lot of the same. It was just atrocious, tons of noise and that sort of thing. So I haven't been on HF much lately. I've been on FGA a little bit, but not so much. I'll wait until the fall until the wet conditions get a little better. Tomorrow our club is having an antenna building workshop. So we're going to a local park. We did it last year, and this year we're going to a local park again and having building HF dipoles. I think somebody is going to try to build an OCF dipole. Some guy is building 2-meter and 70-centimeter Slim Jim antennas. So we expect 30 or so folks out, so that's great. And our little radio giveaway and sale at low prices project is wrapping up. And a lot of folks are going to be picking up their radios tomorrow at that event. So by the end of the summer, I think we'll have over 50 radios on the air that have been obtained through this little effort. I'll drop for a moment.
