I heard something yesterday about Oklahoma. Apparently Oklahoma in hiring new teachers make the teachers take a test and if it's determined that they don't directly support Trump, they ain't getting hired in Oklahoma. I don't know if that's like a Trump favored state or what but I heard that one on the news yesterday that several teachers that had applied for positions in Oklahoma that had originated in California were given a test about current American goings on and apparently if your answers to the test show that you're not a Trump supporter you don't get hired. I don't know what the truth to that is or what the ins and outs of it are but man if that's what's happening that ain't cool. I mean if you're a certified teacher you should have to, you know your credentials should speak for themselves. You shouldn't have to do a test of American current events to get a job but I guess that's the direction we're headed in. Thanks Chuck and up here all the schools use Chromebooks for the kids. They're all supplied with them. The schools have some company here locally that does all their maintenance and repairs and replacements and all that kind of stuff and so yeah that's what they use up here. Chromebooks, they're fairly decent ones too. They're these Lenovo ones with a touch screen and a smart pen and stuff. Really cool devices for students. I could say I wish I had something like that when I was growing up but I did. I used a laptop all through school. My first one I actually got into third grade had a 16 megahertz 286 processor and it ran MS-DOS with WordPerfect 5.1 on the first laptop I ever used for school and that was a great godsend man for anyone with a visual impairment having to write stuff down. If I write my notes out even my ability to read them back is very reduced because with my vision the nystagmus that I have due to the optic nerve hypoplasia that really makes it hard for me to read handwritten script from anyone even myself. I can write it all day long and everyone else can read it but it's just the way the letters are all connected together and loopy and it just makes it very difficult for me to read. I can read type that someone has written by hand, print, no problem if it's legible but typed up stuff, I've always done it that way. I took typing classes when I was in the second grade and got really good at it and I can still do over 60 words a minute so it's not too bad. Thanks Chuck. You have yourself a good day man. Sean you get the final word this morning man, N7ECV. It's all you for final comments. This is repeater station kilo kilo. Copy that N7ECV to the group here. Well good morning and Darryl Washington your node radio or handheld has got viswar spikes on it, VSWR spikes, making it's timed at the peaks of your signals and it's enough to we can still totally understand people coming through your system but I was paying attention I can hear everybody on the Echo League side full quieting so it could be a number of things I don't mean to blame anything but I'm hearing it as you talk completely and as other stations come through. Just a heads up my friend there's something going on somewhere. But anyway good morning everybody thanks for putting up with my goofy self and I would say let this roll because I got here post whatever the heck happened this morning so I caught the end of the gist of it and that was about it and I was stuck through the whole net and I'm here so I can listen to all of you guys. It's not just banter, ham radio is a sacred spot for us to all be able to voice our opinions including Ron even if you get no emails dude that should be a hint that you're probably preaching to the wrong choir however I will say I hear the passion in your voice. I hear what you have to say and if you're that strong about it my email is on QRZ you can send me any email you want man if I get to happen to read it then want to I'll read the doggone thing that's not the point I think the point is if the group does not respond back to you you should probably adjust to the group or VFO. Have a good morning 73 Norway 7 Echo Charlie Victor.
