As far as the contest goes in October, we'll be working all bands, all bands, all main bands. But as far as tonight's activity goes, well, we're running to a bit of FTO to 160 and we want to work a few stations in the States on 160 from here. So that's what we're going to do tonight. And I don't know, we might do 40 should be going to the States too tonight, as it usually is. If you've got decent antennas like Steve does, he's got a... an UltraBeam, a three-element... UltraBeam, which is a masterpiece, I call it. I call it his masterpiece because that's what it is. So we'll be to a bit of 40 in 160, I think, tonight and see how we go. But the main band, while I'm here on this weekend, will be the 160-meter antenna, if it is newest antenna. And that's what we'll be focusing on. But anyway, I want the past, when it's a contest, we get down to business and we go pretty hard. It'll just be a nice social catch-up with him and his family tonight, so that'll be good. So, yeah, that's what we've got planned there, Jeff. So, yeah, so anyway, all good on... You mentioned TalkGroup 91 as well on DMR. I've gone off TalkGroup 91. A lot of their audio sounds absolutely terrible. I've really gone off... The audio on DMR, Jeff, is terrible. A few of us locally, we're actually putting up repeaters for P25. And the P25 audio, to me, sounds so... So much better than DMR. I reckon DMR is the worst audio that I've ever heard in communications. That's my view anyway. And all you've got to do is listen to TalkGroup 91 and you're forever adjusting your volume pot up and down because audio levels are just... One person blows your speaker out and then the next person you can barely hear. And it's really bad. Back to you.
