I'll do it in for your note as you're doing the reboot. Back in now, V3KDC. The question I had was, hopefully you can hear me, when you were talking about the Arctic ice minimum maximum, I just want to make sure that I heard you correctly. And if I did, then I have a follow-up question. Or did I perhaps mishear you? You were talking about the Arctic minimum, sorry, Arctic minimum. I have to say minimum occurring during the North American summer. To me, that just appears counterintuitive. So I'm wondering if I heard you correctly, or maybe I misheard. Anyways, back to you. VH3, VWX, you're VH3KDC. I'm, VH3, VWX returning. I think I heard what you were asking. I just don't know how it's counterintuitive. Okay, so, it's summer in the Arctic. So the Arctic minimum occurs, so August is a month that has the, for a monthly period, August will have the least amount of ice. And that also carries over into the first week, maybe two weeks of September, depending on the year. And then after that, it'll start cooling down enough where ice will actually begin to grow in the high Arctic. So ice cover for the Northern hemisphere is the absolute lowest. So snow and ice cover is the absolute lowest for the entirety of the month of August as a monthly measure. And then for the first week or two weeks of September, once you get into the third week of September, snow cover and ice growth goes up. So that's what's happening. And vice versa, the opposite happens in the Southern hemisphere. They get into their maximum, so you have the maximum amount of ice growth in the Southern hemisphere. And it typically peaks in that first week of September, and then it'll begin to very slowly diminish. And then speed up as they move towards their spring in the Southern hemisphere. And okay, I'm glad. Hopefully that all makes sense to you, which I'm sure it does. We'll send it back to you if you have any response. VAWX. Yeah, thanks Tom. Actually I misspoke twice now. So I texted you while you were telling me that everything you just said makes complete sense. I must have just somehow misheard. In my defense, I was driving home. So thank you for explaining that and clarifying. I'll send it back to you, and then I'll let you throw it back again. But it definitely answers my question. Thanks again. V3WX or V3KDC? All right, V3KDC, V3WX. Yeah, no problem for that Omar. I'm glad that, yeah, no worries you misheard. It's all good. It's there, yeah, and August is typically the warmest month of the Arctic summer season, where many places will consistently have temperatures above 10 degrees. I want to say north of 10 degrees, but they'll have daytime highs getting well above 10 degrees consistently. And many of the places still have, maybe not exactly 24 hours of daylight, but the daylight hours are still much, much longer than anything you get south of 60 degrees. So they're still getting long days. So that all helps, of course. Okay, I don't know if there are any other questions, but we'll send it back to Kenan if there are. He can take them. And if not, he can move on with the net. This is VA3VWX back to net control.
