Yeah, definitely pretty clear I think that some of the smoke that's in the air. Fortunately at a very high elevation, probably affecting some of the... probably affecting some of the... you know, the color of the sunset and all that during the day as well. Uh, yeah, so the... and definitely a warm day. 91, 92 degrees in various areas. Probably setting some records. Definitely not something we typically get around here, although that's increasingly less the case. So, uh, yeah, thanks for stopping by. Alright, let's go to Janes, W8, WW. Janes, please come ahead. Inact Control, W8, WW. Good evening to Paul and everyone. So, sent a message to our... from President here in Livonia asking to see if we can link our repeater with the PSR for one or two of the nets. So we just need to figure out how to get permission to do that. Just to give her low exposure and maybe it'll increase the muse to her repeater. Take up the RT solutions software for my ID5100. And I now have my dual-driven tunnel about 20 feet above the roofline. I'm going to lower that down next time I get, especially if I can get my nephew to help me. Um, Amazon has some steel wire or aluminum wire, whatever it is, and I think I'm going to want a couple guidelines at the top. Um, it was like 100 feet for like 17 bucks. Since this is just a simple dual-band antenna, I really don't need to have the thickness on the wire and everything. But, um, what I did with the RT systems software is I... There we go. We're back on. I, um, have all these systems added through radio reference. And out of 140-some repeaters, I was able to key up about 40 of them. So I sent a separate key listing or cell listing for that. And then it's sorted by that cell listing. So the first 39 or 40, um, memories of repeaters I can actually reach, which is not bad. I purchased about 800 feet of two-layer, 12-gauge solid copper. And I tied those ends together, and I'm using that as a unique cable from the Blitzbug down to my, um, from the Lightning Oyster down to my grounding lab. And, you know, and, uh, once we had some torrential rains today, so once, uh, I get the next day off, go down, trim the wires so that everything is at, uh, minimum, uh, length. Which is the fastest way to ground, uh, on that. And go from there. Funny thing is somebody had a, somebody had a app online or online, uh, calculator that two 12-gauge, tied together is equivalent of a 9-gauge. So I found that interesting, um, on that. So, um, other than that, I did some cooking today. Quick, uh, quick meals for this and next week. Uh, cubed potatoes, I put those in the bottom of a big, big, uh, cooking pot. Then I browned some country-style pork ribs, put those on top. Then I covered all that with five pounds, yes, there's no, no stutter here, five pounds of sauerkraut. And that's been simmering now for about three to four hours. And, uh, that'll, uh, that'll be my meal, my meals for the week. So back to net control, W8WW. Alright, well that does sound tasty and, uh, previously what you were describing there with your antenna system sounds like some good plans for you to, uh, really make some, uh, improvements to your station. So thanks for sharing that, James. Hope, uh, all is well and the torrential rains, uh, cease for you. I heard that, uh, some pretty intense rain out there in the Midwest. So, uh, 73 to you, you have a great, uh, rest of your night. Alright, uh, 923 Pacific time here. Uh, here at 9 o'clock net, I'm Paul K7PJP, your 9 o'clock net host for Tuesday night.
