Greg, K-068, lots of stuff going on. The battery build is coming. I have glue drying. Still haven't seen any hint to the bus bars, though. Got the video started from last Wednesday, the presentation from Dr. Ed Fong on a tri-band antenna you can build, two meter, 220, and 440. Interesting design, really interesting. It looks like the video's gonna be okay, so working on that. Still waiting for data from one of the presenters from this club meeting. And what I should be doing is being in the car, driving down to the Bay Area, the Vintage Computer Festival's going on today. And I just couldn't get my act together in time. But yeah, a lot of good stuff happening down there. So a lot of things happening. Too many, too much fit in the day. K-068, shout back to you. All right, very good. Tell me a little bit more about this Vintage Computer Festival, where it's happening, and I guess what is the nature of it, why I guess it's all vintage computers. Yeah, things pre-dating the IBM PC and that kind of stuff. The Commodore's and the PETs and the Trash 80s, and I've got a 6502 chip system, known as a Jolt, J-O-L-T, from back then. It still works, and it's being held at the Computer History Museum in Buttonview. So they've got all kinds of stuff happening. Apparently there's a get together, this is what I should be doing, is going down there for this, a get together of the original Home for Computer Club members. I wasn't a founding member, but I was a member from really early on. Yeah, they're getting together just after, the 50th year anniversary this year, five zero years since that club was formed. These computers were a thing. I'm always thinking about just getting in the car, driving down there, it's a long drive and all that kind of stuff, but it'd be kind of fun. Anyway, too much going on. But yeah, that's the idea, is just having their stuff out there and people selling stuff and showing stuff and whatever else. Festival, right, P06TH. Comment? Do we have a comment? JV6LUV, Roger. Hey, I have my Timex Sinclair ZX81 with the incredible 16 megabyte expansion card. Still sitting in my closet, I'm sure it would still fire up if I decided to do so. Dating myself, JV6LUV. Back to you guys, 73.
