Yeah, good day everybody. The E4 is the only one here in Winnipeg. Uh, myself, I've worked nothing super crazy. I think about the furthest I've worked was, uh, South Africa on 20m phone, running about 70 watts. Um, one of the ones I tend to brag about, uh, last summer, I worked, uh, Kiev, uh, was actually out in Rushing River, near Kenora in Ontario. And, uh, worked Kiev on phone, 20m, running about 3.5 watts. So, uh, yeah, it just kind of proves that it's not the big power you need, it's just the propagation. So, yeah, it's kind of neat to be able to talk that far away, you know, just a little bit of battery. So, that's kind of fun. I guess about the longest distance you'd be able to work on Earth would be yourself. That'd be, uh, I guess right around the globe, so that'd be kind of neat, uh, aside from, like, getting into EME and stuff like that. But, uh, yeah, maybe one day be able to hear myself, that would be kind of neat too. All right, everybody have a great day. From Winnipeg, my name is Owen, E4NOL. Back to neck control. Thanks, Nolan. And, uh, yeah, neat, that's a neat contact there. And, uh, interesting too, talking to someone that's, you know, in the news these days. Um, yeah, we did have someone earlier, uh, who has done that. They heard themselves on 10m. So, it's definitely possible. Thanks for joining us. Uh, next on the list, Victor Alpha 7 November, Romeo Charlie. Uh, Brendan, welcome to the net. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November. National Research Council. And, um, yeah, interesting question. So, yeah, there's actually a f***er who recorded himself while the, uh, Around the World Echo happens. So, yeah, if you Google, uh, Around the World Echo there, uh, there's a fellow Danish commander who actually caught it on video. So, uh, um, so, uh, yeah, on the YouTube video there, you can see the thing. It's very interesting. I did find, uh, the two farthest, uh, uh, stations here that we've reached now. So, I guess, as far as the two-way contact goes, you know, I have, uh, Indonesia a couple times and, uh, Western Australia. That's the furthest, uh, uh, that I have here. And looking at, uh, yeah, the one station here that I have is, uh, 14,941 kilometers, or 9,284.2 miles. Um, and a bearing of 267 degrees west. And then I also was received on FT, uh, a receiving station there in South Africa. And that station is, uh, 16,324.1 kilometers, or 10,143 miles. So, uh, but that wasn't a contact. They just have a, uh, a receiving station there. So, my FT was received. Yeah, well, that still counts, of course. Uh, so some great, great distances there. Yeah, when I first became a ham, we didn't have, uh, we didn't have things like TSK Reporter and, uh, WhisperNet and the Reverse Beacon Network and all that stuff. So, uh, it's, uh, it's a lot easier nowadays to see where you're, where you're reaching. Uh, thanks for joining us today. And last on my list, Victor Alpha 6, Romeo Victor, welcome to the net. Good afternoon. This is, uh, VA6RV, Bob in Edmonton. And, uh, I've been thinking a lot about your, uh, your question. And I'm just doing it from memory, uh, because I, uh, I don't have a log open right now. But, uh, I believe it was Belarus and it was on 40 meters. And I was astounded because, uh, I'd never even come close to that. I have to assume that, uh, his station did all the work, uh, because, uh, because I just have a, uh, a long wire, uh, well, actually, uh, I just got half way. Uh, and, uh, so I was, I was really surprised. I also didn't know about your net. I happened on it today and, uh, uh, really glad I was, uh, was able to find it and get in. Uh, nice topic and I, I appreciate hearing everybody from across the country. VA6RV, PAC 2. Thanks, Bob. Uh, you're our first check-in today from, uh, Alberta. So, uh, you're representing, representing your province there. Um, thanks for joining us. Great, uh, great contact. Uh, it's funny when these things just happen out of the blue and it's a surprise. Um, yeah, this net's here every Sunday starting at 1 p.m. Eastern. And, uh, more information and, uh, a list of all the other nets, uh, are at thecanadahub.ca, thecanadahub.ca. Uh, okay. One thing I want to mention, let me pause. We're talking about distance and propagation and all that. Uh, there's a fun voice net, although they don't call themselves a net. There's a net every day that starts on 17 meters at a certain time and then works its way up through the bands. They go to 15, 12, and 10 if 10 is open. Uh, and how it works is you spot yourself on their website, you type your callsign in, and they call you in. And, uh, you, uh, you give your callsign and they, uh, then it, you see who else on the net, uh, can hear you. So you give your call a couple times and all these people come back to you with signal reports. And in turn you give them signal reports when they put their call in. So, uh, it's a, it's a fun thing, happens every day starting in the afternoon. Uh, that's at hfqso.com, hfqso.com. It's called the HF Activity Group. Uh, I don't always do it, but it's, uh, it's fun just to see where, where you can be heard and do it by voice. Um, okay. Let's open it up. First of all, in Canada, do we have anyone else in Canada or the far north for the TransCanada net? Please check in. Two Echo Zero, Uniform, India Delta. Two Echo Zero, Uniform, India Delta. Okay, I got a few stations there and a whole bunch of partials. Uh, a lot of people, I just got one or two letters. But I did get Two Echo Zero, Uniform, India Delta. I'll be with you in just a moment. Victor Echo 3, Tango, Oscar, Tango, you're also on the list. Victor Echo 5, Romeo, Sierra, Ron, you're on the list. There was one ending in, uh, Delta Charlie Victor, who was that?
