on the EMS now transmitting via Echo Link from Hoodsport, Washington, where we'll be for a few months anyway. Maybe a little longer, maybe not, not sure yet. But we bought a piece of property here, and so we've got our RV on it, and a little mini cabin kind of glorified shed, and a pergola, and our own two RV stops with hookups. And it's really, really nice, except that the Northwest is on fire at the moment. And so it's very hazy, and the firefighting aircraft are flying over, and kind of an interesting place to be at the moment. We're not in the line of fire, so to speak, but it is an interesting place to be. With regard to MOTS, nothing too exciting on ours. So the first thing I did was upgrade the turn signals on the back of the coach to high-intensity LED amber ones, because we have a gas motor home, and we tow a jeep, and that doesn't work really well in the mountains sometimes. So if we're going too slow and running with the fourways, I wanted to make sure people could see them. And when we go to change lanes, it's helpful as well, obviously. Still working on antennas, currently an ATOS 120 on the back, on the ladder. I've got a little Tar Heel II that I may be using in the future, still looking at that. And while we're here in Washington, I've got a 7x16 cargo trailer that I'm building up as a kind of communications and workshop area, so I'm excited to be able to do that here pretty soon. So a lot of stuff going on in Washington, the seventh for y'all, nice to be back, N8 EMS.
