Hey, top of the morning, Roy. K0OVX here on the Colorado Front Range. And like Cliff said, it's cooled off. Thankfully, we're getting some clouds. It was sunny and 100 degrees yesterday. So we've got some cloud cover and cooler weather. Let's see, my wife is in Virginia visiting her sister for a couple of weeks. Her sister had surgery. So she's out there helping her sister. Uh-oh, got to let the dog out. She's out in Virginia helping her sister. And so in the meanwhile, the kitchen has morphed into a radio shack. I sent her a picture. She's not that happy about it. But anyway, I live in the burbs. And so I've got a field antenna set up. I've got a 24-foot mast with an infed sloper, multiband. And so I've been making some contacts, doing some photo hunting on 10 watts. And yeah, it was a real adventure, though. I set the radio up. And so let's see, I'm having a problem with the USB. I'm doing FT8. So I'm having a problem with the USB audio input. OK, I think I fixed that. Still having a problem. Oh, it's the sampling rate. I fixed that. Then I think I'm getting some leakage in my cables. So I threw in a couple of chokes. OK, it's working. But then the radio went belly up. It went into idle mode. It's a JEGU 6100. It went into idle mode. So I had to go and find a software update. So it's finally working. Anyway, after all of that, that's what's going on in my shack. Thanks for the check in, Roy.
