Good morning everybody, VE4GWN in Winnipeg. Like Rosie said, we went to a ham fest yesterday. It was hosted by the Braddon Amateur Radio Club, which is about two hours, a little over two hours to our west. But it was held in Austin, Manitoba. And Austin, Manitoba is host to a Threshold Minutes reunion every year, which would have been last week. And traditionally, the hams from Braddon used to volunteer a lot, providing communications for that very large gathering. And so the following week we'd have the ham fest there. It used to be an entire weekend event. Unfortunately, it's now down to only one day. But I think they said we had 154 in attendance. We took a couple of friends of ours who are not quite amateurs with us. They seemed to enjoy walking around and talking to different people that I introduced them to that had different interests and aspects of the hobby. And of course, the walk through the Amateur Radio Museum and the Austin grounds was very nice, as well as some of the other displays that we walked in around that area. So it's definitely a good day was had by all. With that, I'm going to say 73 and back to neck control. VE4GWN in Overcast Winnipeg.
