OK, I'll see you during your timer. Perfect every time. Al Brooks and Megan, thank you for doing the net tonight. Yeah, I just got off the Poppa system down south. And every once a month, they do the power mode net. And essentially what you do is everybody checks in using different modes. And they'll take each mode one at a time, like all-star, D-star, then DMR, and then P25, and then Echo Link. And it tests out your system to see if everything works. And it gives you some pretty good practice to get all your different radios lined up in a row to be able to go on each different mode. So it's kind of a fun thing. It's the first Wednesday of every month at 8 PM on the Poppa system. So it's pretty cool. Anyway, here in the Bay Area today, it was sunny out. It hit about, at one point, about 85 degrees here. It got pretty warm. Turned on the air conditioning for a little bit. And definitely works. And does a good job of just running it. And the rest of the day, it's a nice temperature in here, which is great. The squirrels are very active out there. And I made sure they had water. And they had peanuts and nuts out there so they can keep up their strength. And watching them running in all sorts of directions is a lot of fun to watch. Yeah, that's about it, though. I just had some stuff to eat and was watching some baseball. And that was, oh yeah, the Tour de France, a couple of the sets of that. So that's about it. So let me hand it back to you next. AB 678. November, all star, node 6222, located in Shelton, Washington. All right, good stuff there, Jeff. Yeah, I've heard you talk about that all-mode net before. That sounds like a good one. It's always a hard one for me to try to do right before, especially right before running this net on ABM. So I haven't ever managed to go jump on it. But I should try to do it one of these days. But it sounds like you probably make it a regular thing. So good stuff there. Sounds like a lot of fun. Good to hear that the squirrels are doing good. Nice 85 degree weather down there. It sounds like a good day watching baseball and the Tour de France. Yeah, good stuff there, Jeff. Thanks for stopping by. You have a great rest of your evening. OK, next up on the list, we had an I.O. from Peter, KU6RAX. Thanks for stopping by, Peter. Have a great evening. Next up, we're going to go to Scotland and talk to Kerry, MM0RKN. Good morning over there, Kerry. Good evening, everybody else that's on the net. And I'm just thinking about chocolate swirl cake that the VK station was talking about. I got bad at five a.m. in the morning. You have now got a Russian chocolate swirl cake. That sounded very nice. Yeah, we're just talking through a working week here. We're quite a mixture of wearers this week. The weather's been a little bit crazy. But we're going to be talking about the weather. We're going to be talking about the weather. This week, the weather's been a little bit crazy. We had a storm on Monday, quite a summer storm, heavy wind. The winds were about 80 miles per hour. But luckily, this time, the storm isn't through any damage. And you'll just start to feel the temperature fall whenever so slightly. At the moment, it's 15 degrees Celsius, which isn't bad for this time in the morning. But there's just that kind of change. You can see the water's starting to keep in there. It's definitely a bit darker in these mornings as well. And the visual eyes, just the usual, to be honest, being playing about with my all-star modes. And being quite a few contacts on FTE as well, but it's been 20 meters, which is always quite strange. Usually it's 15, 17 meters, but 20 meters seems to be the best plan for me at the moment. And also waiting on a new video arriving. I think it should arrive today or tomorrow. It's the new issue, FT1XF. And it had to be designed for a little while. I thought, yeah, what the heck, just get it. Wanted to do some photo work, some photo activation and get some field work done. And I do quite a lot of traveling to my sister's caravan and things. I bought the Op to my version, so I've got the Op 3 off the 100 watts. Or I can take that off and have the field version. So gently look forward to using the radio and seeing how well that performs. That's really it for me to take breaks, but everybody take care. It's great to hear everybody. And yeah, thirsty's not that bad when it arrives, I promise. Hi. But 73 and 88 and all the numbers to everyone and you know, I can't wait to get control.
