We were over the Ukraine. The altimeter went all wacko. So we figured it was the jamming, frequency jamming system. It said we were at 9,000 feet, at 900 feet. And actually, after it passed over the Ukraine area, it went back to Nodle again. And all other balloons that go in that area gets the same effect. What powers the payload is the solar panels, mini solar panels. And then they have micro capacitors that gets the volts to 4.5 volts. And as long as the sun is shining, it will be taken to the Earth at 0.25 of a watt. It'll transmit about 10,000 kilometers. Over. And that is absolutely fantastic. Fantastic. I've never done a project like that before. And it's mostly finances, not lack of interest, that's for sure, in putting something like that up. Being as we're I'm right over to North Atlantic, I don't know where it would head, probably toward the United Kingdom. I don't know. But I guess until it gets up there, you really don't know. I was at a station from Alabama. Come in there. Station didn't catch a call sign, but go ahead. And good morning. You've got the E1EP and the E1UKZ. Go ahead.
