KL7ILH, you are going to wrap the net up for me today. So let's go back to the top of that list. We've got the KJ7EU. Mike, how are you doing, my friend? I'm pretty good, Robert. And yeah, I'm in the house. I've got my LMR on my HT. And I've got to leave it bent like this and connected. It's either my HT, the pin broke off in the connector, or these cheap adapters where you unscrew it and it comes out with the socket, the pin, and the insulator, and then the other part, the shell is left, that kind of thing. Or it's the, I don't think it's the LMR connector. I bought this 100 and something foot piece from R&L all made up. It's been really nice. I mean, I got this huge long piece and my loss is really low up to my ground plane. The comet up there at 175 feet in this hole I live in. Everything I do, really pretty much the repeater, it's like H effect. So I've got to really have that thing up there. My 4 watts getting out well. Although, and I did have the beam only. I was in the HT antenna. I hit W7NY flying around St. Helens at 9,000 feet, even with the 4 watts. I get out real good toward Rainier and the other direction toward Salt Spring Island and L'OCCOCCI, which is in 4,000, sort of. So everything in that direction comes in full gliding and stuff. And then great stuff from, oh, that somebody in Roy or Buckley, I was getting them because they had like a 22 ohm in beam, like 400 watts or something. Yeah, it was crazy last night and interesting to listen to simplex with three stations reaching out to all the corners. Back to you, Robert. Thanks for letting me check in and have a nice afternoon. I just got in from a bunch of yard work. I'm trying to cut my way through so that next summer things grow out and I won't be trapped in the back or front of my house in the jungle. Thank you, Robert. KJ7VU. Thank you for stopping by, Mike. I do appreciate that. It's a pretty great day. It's the perfect weather for this. It's not too hot, it's not too cold, it's just right. And definitely loving the day. So thanks for that and I hope you have a great one as well. And we will be out with you again soon. Next on the list we've got a recheck from Mike, KV8, BMY. Y'all see a real good rudder. First of all, MA in there. Roger, roger. Okay, real good. You mentioned something about using APRS to give you a notification if you have a Winlink message. How is that set up or is it too lengthy to talk about right now? I want to say you just add Winlink next to your status message. I've got it set up on my radio, I don't have it set up on Tammy's because she doesn't have Winlink going. But I'm pretty sure you just add the Winlink phrase to your status message and we'll do that for you. If that doesn't work, I'll check when I get home when I'm the Chief and let you know what the special command is. You just add the Winlink or the command to the end of your status message and when that status goes out the Winlink system will hear it. And find out if you've got messages and we'll respond back with this next response message telling you how many messages you have pending. So I hope that answers your questions. Yeah, it does partially. I appreciate it. I'd like to set that up on my APRS. If you find out, let me know. If I'm not around, just send me an email real quick. I'm good on QRS. Whatever the command is, I'm not sure what that would be. But I appreciate it, Robert. You guys sound pretty good up there. Sounds like you're having a good time. I'm down on the water right now looking out. I'm a couple of feet from fusion sound here. But thanks again, Robert. KVA, VMI. Sure, my friend will do and thanks for stopping by and letting us know how well we found that. It was quite interesting and it was pretty static on receive. But not getting any noise from some of the equipment around here. But it was a cold night for all I know. So, thank you for that and I will definitely send you a message with information. Next, I've got a recheck for C-97 RMU. Alright, thank you very much. Great job today, you two. Thank you very much. I'm just wondering, Robert, if you could give everybody a brief rundown of the setup you're using, how you did it just real quick. Are you using battery power or what? And if you could, just kind of curious about how you did it today, if you don't mind. KIA-7 RMU. Well, that's a great question, Jack. So, I played the laser today and I'm in the Inwood DMZ 710G mounted in the AMV truck. I have the Eagle Flow in the back with the charge cable hooked up to my Surface tablet. I've got my secondary monitor set up here so we've got dual screens on the dash to know what's going on and to have control of the repeaters. And I've got my phone in the wrong spot as well as the clear note alpha is in the back of the rig with the ADD on the rear bumper. So, folks walking by or anyone out there can also hear what we're doing and be able to get in if they so chose to. So, yeah, that's what we've got going here. I did bring the AMV go box just in case we had a better opportunity to set up. But we didn't. And I did put the J-Pole up on the opposite truck with the tripod mount like I normally do. But oddly enough with the extra height, I think I was starting to get some bullseye paths so our receive was really, really rough. So I just switched back to the mobile mounted antenna she's got on there. Switching on the wrench to the rack which is working fantastic. There you go. Thanks for asking, Jack. And I know Kimmy got some photos. We'll definitely post those to the group so we'll get to see exactly what we've got going on here. So thanks for all your support. Thanks for that promotion. Do you want to get us out here to do some of this stuff? We had a lot of fun doing it. So, all thanks to you. Next up and wrapping us up is I've got the J75-L8. How are you doing, my friend? Roger that. It's KI-7-ILH appearing in the system. That's my good antenna somewhere else and I put up a T-I-1. Exactly. I wanted to make sure it was working properly and let you get on with your day as long as you can hit me okay. Yeah, we got you coming in loud and clear, my friend. So thank you for that. And I got the correct call sign, KI-7-ILH. And I definitely appreciate you stopping by. I'll get back to you so you can wrap up with your call sign. Thanks for watching.
