Yes, good morning, this is WA-78. Good morning to you and the group. I've been following along here for the last hour or so. It's been fascinating depth with a lot of interesting information. I'm almost 78 years old, so computers and I have had our own share of difficulties. I use them a lot at work, only because I'm forced to, but I do not have any computers working in my shack. I just usually do HFTX on CW and a little bit of Sideman. I guess there's a computer involved, but I'm looking up on my laptop, maybe logging a little bit. I'm currently using an iPhone here on Echo Link, so I suppose I am using some form of computerized transmission. But nothing really fancy. I've got a small shack at home in Minnesota. I've got a couple of small radios on a Walmart picnic table right now. So, back to the net, thank you very much for allowing me to put my two-stands up. This is Repeater Station 8-7, November Quebec November. All-Star Note 6222. That was the Alpha-7, Alpha Foxtrot Victor. Thank you, Richard, for joining the net today. I left it open at the beginning of the net for somebody to chime in and say, you know what, I don't use computers at all. No, that's not your case, of course. But, yeah, offering an HF station without a computer and maybe just doing paper logging, that's a thing. Plus, you've got to be a better CW operator because you actually cannot rely on log programs filling in call signs or going off to databases and things to fill in information during contests and things. So, you are forced to really know your code when you do that. So, good on you and thanks for joining the net, Richard. Appreciate it and please join us again in the future. I'm going to open it up. So, I've only got seven minutes left of the net here and great participation today. There are some great ideas from people and some super interesting things that people are doing and lots of enthusiasm for amateur radio. So, good on you all and thanks for joining the net. Open it up to anybody anywhere and see if we can fill up the last seven minutes of the net to net control. Victor Echo 5, Uniform Oscar, Dave in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Please join us now.
