Well, I put together a little PowerPoint presentation that talks about how DMR works, the advantages of the two-time slots on repeaters, and why hems like to use repeaters for better coverage, and a little bit about the technology, about the different DMR networks that you can be a part of, and why having a handheld and a hotspot is useful to get you talking around the world to people in the fellow hems. So that's the gist of the presentation. We'll technical stop a little, why it's fun, why it's useful, and then bring up the fellowship aspect of it as well. So just the things that I particularly appreciate about DMR and hotspots and the digital stuff, it's pretty neat being able to use a handheld and talk to people all over the world through DMR and the other digital modes. So that's what that presentation is all about. People come over to see the big faster transmitter with the colourful knobs and the glowing tubes. So when they're done Googling that, I talk to them about DMR or let them look at the presentation, and a couple of channels that are set up and they can talk simplex back and forth, and so they can actually feel what the radio is like and hit the first clock button and talk and hear their voice coming out the other end and hear someone talking back to them. So that's been kind of fun. Back to you from V6 PLC.
