Nothing heard. I am Brian, KA7KZH. This is the 9 o'clock on the Puget Sound Repeater Group repeater in Seattle, Washington. Let's go ahead and get our first report here of the night. Ann, how are you tonight? KA9EHB, please give us a report. Well, this is KA9EHB. Good evening to everybody on the net. As hard as I tried to do nothing today, I ended up playing through all my Christmas carols and finally deciding on what I swear, absolutely swear, is the final list that now has one non-seasonal piece per each set of 12. And so that's cool. And so I think I'm happy with it now. It leaves a little more practice, but that's not too bad. So in spite of my attempt to do absolutely nothing this afternoon, I did actually write and I did actually do the playing of the Christmas practicing. And that's about it. Got to listen to my dear sweet husband, all the names in the genealogy of Noah. That's always fun. He gave me a gift. He read the whole nine chapters of First Chronicles and it's absolutely gorgeous. Someday I have to get a tape recorder and get a recording of him reading that. I love the genealogy. So anyway, that's about all the news that is news. 73, 33, 88. All the numbers. Thanks to Brian for running the net. Thanks to all of you for listening. This is KA9. I love you all. This is KA98. Be my connect. Well, despite your attempts to do nothing, it sounds like you were quite productive there. So I'll be curious in a future report what the non-seasonal ones are within those Christmas carols there. But hey, very good. Never too late to get those lists going for sure. So happy harping and very cool of your husband there. Yeah, get a recording of it. So all right. Thanks for that check in there, Ann. Have a great night and we'll catch you down the lot here. All right. Up next on the nine o'clock net is going to be Lisa. How are you doing tonight? KC7BYJ. Please give us a report. Well, good evening to you and all. I want to echo link. I had intended to get onto a new valve phone, a 5R, but I, you know, headed off to a lonely place to do a little bit of wood setting with a very beginner trumpet person. And so I don't want other people to be subjected to my practice. And so brought along the radio and figured, OK, well, just program in the numbers and wait. No, it's about fun. It's not so easy. So I went to echo link. I was at the Rainer sign today and also, you know, the wedding celebrations or marriage celebration, I guess, more accurately for Megan and my brain is not working and maybe the other half. And well, unless you count the dogs and then there's lots of pieces. But it was lovely and I was expecting it was going to be really hot, but they had an area that was surrounded on kind of a U-shaped surrounded by tall trees, everything but the north. So we were cool the whole day. I was astonished and it was wonderful. So that's what I've got for you. And also, many thanks to you, Brian, for taking the in-outs first. That makes such a big difference. OK, KC7BYJ, neck to neck. Hey, good stuff. Guess it was Megan, K9MLR and Brooks, K9TC, who you were thinking of there. Also very, very cool. Thanks for the report on that. I was not able to make it out today, but I'm hoping to get some good ice cream reports and Megan and Brooks reports today. So keep them coming, keep them coming. So glad you're able to practice that trumpet and a good on you for not subjecting others listening to it. Big violinist myself, I even try to make sure I put on that practice mute so I'm not super annoying to everyone. It kind of dampens the sound quite a bit there. So good stuff there. Thank you so much for stopping by tonight, Lisa, with that report. We'll catch you down the log here. All right. We have two more on this round. Next up, James, how are you doing tonight? And thanks for coming back with your call. I think at least three times. Whiskey eight, whiskey, whiskey, please give us a report. Metcalfe, W8WW, good evening. As a matter of fact, I literally just walked in the house. Not much to report here. Had a, what they call it a solar generator. I call it a battery power box, whatever you want to call it, or an inverter. Had a, one about the size of a large lunch box. And even though it's slightly disappointed on its size, if it puts out what it needs to, I'll be happy. So we'll leave it at that. Back to neck control, W8WW. Very good stuff there, James. I think you echo my sentiment. I've gone off on a rant, maybe not on the air, but I don't like that they call those generators because in my mind, they don't generate anything. They store electricity. It is a big battery. And even though they're designed to be charged off of solar panel, you don't have to charge them that way. They can be charged any which way, off your car alternator or the AC on the wall. And I, it's, I'm just going to rant for a second. It's annoying that you go to Home Depot or go on their website and type in the word generator and all these batteries show up. And it's like, that's not a generator. I digress. I digress. Anyway, I hope it does work out for you. I've got a big EcoFlow lunch. I can even, I daisy changed their 400 watt solar panel. It'd be a lot of fun there. So yeah, I hope it all works out for you. Let us know how it goes and we'll catch you down the log. They're glad you made it home safe there, James. And last on this go around, Charlie, good to see you at the meeting yesterday online. KC2STO, please give us a report.
