Hey, this is Eman, KK7QLW. And just sitting outside, it's a beautiful day here in Kirkland. It's 74 out and had a good net over on Lake Washington AM Club talking about when the last live music we listened to was. And that brought to mind the awesome camper and counselor band that we had at Camp Quest. Just finished a week at Camp Quest. Got home on Sunday with a fresh load of COVID. So my batteries are running pretty low. But when I'm sitting outside, I don't have to wear a mask. Inside I'm quarantining in my office and trying to do as little as possible outside of my office. So not a lot of fun. What else? Oh, I talked to Cammie from camp on the 146520 on the calling frequency from our tent at camp. But unfortunately, I was not able to hit the PSRG repeater very well from up there this time. You know, sometimes it's just a matter of a few hundred feet in one direction or the other. We had set up our situation in a different location this time and weren't able to hit PSRG or Lake Washington very well. But we did get into some of the local repeaters up north. Chatted with lots of folks on the repeaters. And we got out to BC on 20 meters and on two meters. We were on a two meter repeater in Canada. And I got onto YouTube again. The HamJazz fellow, Simon, V-A-7-V-I-X. I got on his YouTube video where he's testing out his bike trailer, his little kid bike trailer that he turned into a M-Com station with a battery pack and solar panels and the ground plane built into the trailer itself. It's pretty cool. I feel like I'm close to a timeout. KK7, QLW, back to you, Jack.
