that to your attention. But yeah, Pixies, they're so minimalist and different people have made ways to increase the performance of a Pixie and adding a pre-selector and a better audio amplifier on the end and stuff like that. But then the joke is that a Ford Fiesta with Rolls Royce rims on it is still a Ford Fiesta. A British QRP pundit put it that way. Although it is a fun thing. People have pushed the Pixie to maximize it which isn't hard since its performance is already as minimal as possible. But anyway, yeah, Pixies are fun. I've got a fine line to dig it out. I've also got a Tuna tin too. It's like a 1 watt rock-bout transmitter built into a Tuna can. Anyway, Matt, fine business on that. And you're getting a great J-Pole. Let me bump back to the Vodascope and stare at it. You had a good usable signal in the Cougar and yes, you were basically flooring East Blue Forest Park which is the one receiver, folks, that's in the receiver array that is not on HamWAN. At last I heard it was actually using the internet to connect. But it's not necessary because it fills a certain pole. And of course, Matt, if you don't improve it you're doing fine because you were in fact flooring one of the receivers. And you'd only need to get in well to one of them. That's the point of the multiple receivers. Thank you, Matt. And it's a bit bittersweet saying goodbye to your grandpa possibly for the last time. You know, when someone is really, really old, every time you visit them, you know that any one of those times might be the last. In fact, even if they're not old, you know, because we never know. We never know when our number is up. Take care, Matt. It's good to hear you. All right, moving right along. We've got another well-known operator, Jeff, in Union City, California, which is near the San Francisco Bay about midway. 86MB, this is KX2W asking for you.
