Victor Alpha 4, Charlie and Juliet Papa, Victor Echo 4 Golf, Whiskey Sierra, and Victor Echo 7, Nolibor, Romeo Charlie. And I got Sierra Mike 6 X-ray Golf Papa as well. So we'll start at the top of the list here and um, Colin, Victor Alpha 4, Charlie and Juliet Papa, Thanks for joining the Trans-Canada Net today and uh, tell us about how you use computers in this hobby. Go ahead. Uh, good afternoon everyone on uh, Net. Yeah, so primarily I run Windows and uh, I also run uh, Hyper-V inside Windows so I can virtualize uh, machines and run virtual versions of uh, hopefully some Linux virtual machines where I do some testing and stuff with uh, DV switch uh, running on Debian. Uh, also been getting quite involved with Raspberry Pis. Um, got a Raspberry Pi 3 that's running uh, an All-Star Sherry node uh, which is how I'm getting into the Net here right away, or right now. Uh, also have a couple of uh, Raspberry Pi W2s which are running uh, digital hotspots uh, for communicating uh, through those kind of uh, nodes. And then uh, yeah, lots of Raspberry Pis are starting to show up on my desk uh, not really radio related but use them for streaming music and also use the Raspberry Pi for doing uh, the uh, ad sync whole kind of thing where it uh, dumps all the ads and blocks them from your web pages. Uh, over. Okay, real good. Uh, thanks, Claude. Appreciate that. And um, isn't it funny how Raspberry Pis just seem to, they sort of multiply you buy two of them and before you know you have a whole, whole litter of them in the ham shack. And uh, very good. And um, yeah, I also do the same thing with the Raspberry Pi uh, to do the DNS uh, ad filtering as well and uh, seems to work fairly well. Um.
