The cell is slowing down a bit, let's do onesies for a minute here. AE7WE, Robert, come ahead, give us your report. Yes, good evening everyone, this is Robert, AE7WE, and I had a fun day just because I got to play on the radio all day. I was able to have some friends watch our kids as I went on a hike, I went up to Wilderness Peak and did an activation there for submits on the air. That was a lot of fun to make good contacts all the way up to Olympia and North as far as Kamino Island, so that was a lot of fun. At home, I have a new antenna that I've been playing around with, it's a Comet GB6, and I had it basically at ground level for the last few days, but today I got a couple poles and got it up 20 feet in the air so I could listen on the Simplex net, and that was a lot of fun, I heard so many people. Joel was just on here, I heard him very well, I could hear the host all the way down to Burien, and one station at Granite Falls, so it was amazing, I'm happy I got this antenna. So that's just what I want to talk about, I'm going to send it back to net, AE7WE. AE7WE, Robert, thank you, well I'm going to make a note of that antenna Comet, I think it's a GP6, sounds like it got great performance. Just two questions for you, I don't know where Wilderness Peak is, can you just give us an idea, and how high were you and what band were you on? I will try to answer the best I can, Wilderness Peak is on Cougar Mountain, kind of, I think it's off of exit 13 on I-90, and I think it's about 1300 feet, I'm not entirely sure, so it's a good elevation, but it's not a super high elevation, and I was doing 2 meter FM. Very good, sounds like a perfect day for it, not too hot, not too cold, just right. Very good, thank you so much. Who else wants to join us tonight, this is a 9pm PSRG social net, my name is Bill, K7WFP, come ahead with your call sign and name.

Michael, we have you on the list, let's see who else wants to join us, call sign and name please. W7LCO, I just had a question. W7LCX, what's your question? My question was for Joan about that thing that records the, some kind of wave analyzer that does other things, I was just wondering if you could ask her to say with a model number or whatever I would Google to find out more about that, because that seems super interesting. Thank you, W7LCX. W7LCX, well let's bounce right back to Joan, see if we can get a very quick answer from her and then continue with the net. Joan, can you help us out there? Blatantly, let me turn down the talk back. Well believe it or not, it is a Star Trek the Original Series hero prop tricorder manufactured by the Wanda Company. They have a reputation for making the finest, most accurate hero props. They started like, you know, 16 years ago making a Harry Potter wand that was actually an infrared controller.
