My friend Steve, he's put up a pretty good quarter way vertical for 160 metres in his backyard. So it's one of those spider beam telescopic poles, but it's a fixed, he's actually fixed it, so it's not gonna collapse and fall into permanent install in his backyard. So we're gonna be doing a bit of FT8ing on 160 metres tonight. And he does a bit of FT8 into the States on 160, so I wouldn't mind being there when he does that, just to see what kind of signals we get off 160 into your country, so that'll be a little bit of fun. And no, so not doing a contest. Normally when I stay at Steve's, we do indeed, we do a contest, but not on this occasion. So this is purely just a visit for a bit of a, for more of a social catch up, which is in the past it's always been, you know, at the end of business and we do the contest and we do it pretty hard. But no, today's is gonna be a good catch up. Speaking about contests, I won the last contest too, the Trans-Tasman, which I last told you about. Results came in this week and Scott and I came first. We powered through, second place was miles behind us, so we absolutely smashed it. So yeah, we're pretty happy about you. Well, congratulations, well done. Yep, and you zipped off a lot farther ahead of the number two, that's great. That's really good you guys did that. And I know that you had done it, you know, took it last year and then you repeated, which is great. And yeah, it sounds pretty good. Yeah, someday I'll have to do a contest and I'll have to win. That's gonna be a while. But yeah, it sounds like you had the right antenna, the right time and everything. So what contest was that again, by the way?
