Okay, got a few there. To Delta Zero, Papa Echo Yankee, you're on the list. Oscar Hotel to Kilo Papa X-Ray, you're on the list. And up first to Echo Zero, Echo Uniform Mike. Uh, Tom, welcome to the net. Another station from Essex. 2E0, EUM returning. If I drop out my battery's about to go but I can quickly dash over to another radio station. Yeah, the furthest I've got was about 8 years ago and I had my foundation license and at that time you're only allowed 10 watts. And so I was playing on 20 meters and I actually got a contact in New Zealand. That was 20 with 10 watts. And that's the furthest I've done. And that was just with a 4 to 9 with a long wire. So yeah, that's my claim to fame as it were. Back to net control from 2E0, EUM. Thanks for that Tom. Another great one. Again, I haven't reached there on 10 meters yet. I have worked New Zealand on 12 meters though. But anyway, another great contact. Thanks for that. And as a foundation level, I'm sure that was probably a thrill at the time. Oscar Hotel 2, Kilo Papa X-Ray, welcome to the net. Victor, Code 3, Romeo Viski, Juliette and the net. Oscar Hotel 2, Lima Papa X-Ray. Little correction for the call sign. Oscar Hotel 2, Lima Papa X-Ray. Operator here is Jukkam, Juliette uniform, Kilo Kilo Alpha. And my QGH is Keouru, central Finland. And I think my furthest gear must be on a HF 10 meter band SSB from Helsinki, Finland to Auckland, New Zealand. If I remember correctly, it was 17,253 kilometers. Back to you Chris. Nice to meet you by the way. Yeah, nice to meet you Juka. I hope I'm saying that right. So looking up here it says Juka, the Finnish guy. That's what comes up on QRZ. Thank you for joining us. Yeah, I'd say 17,000 is very far. Thanks for that. And next on the list to Delta Zero, Papa Echo Yankee, another UK station. Thanks for joining us. What's the furthest you've reached in the hobby? 2D0PY returning. The name here is Gavin. I've been trying to think. So SSB from the Isle of Man where I am. I got South Africa once. And a very big exchange into Thailand over SSB Vois. I don't know if we count FT8, but FT8 I can get pretty much anywhere in the world from where I am. Just on 100 watt which is the maximum my rig can go to. It's a 7300. But then that's kind of like shooting fish in a barrel I guess. Really. So yeah, I think I'll have to say South Africa and I'll say very brief voice into Thailand. And I've got QSL cards for both of those as well which is quite neat. Back to net control from 2D0PY. Thanks Gavin. Thanks for joining us. And yep, FT8. You're the first to mention FT8 but it seems to be the most popular mode on HF these days. And yeah, the weak signal mode certainly, the digital mode certainly helped make it easier. Thanks for joining us. And we're going to move on to Canada going across the country, east to west. Don't worry, we will open it up at the end. So if you're in the US or elsewhere, you can still join us of course. Glad to have you. But let's go to eastern Canada. So the Maritimes, Quebec or Ontario. If you're in that part of Canada and you'd like to join us, please check in. This is the TransCanada net. VE3BZ. Victor Echo 3, Bravo, Azula.
