Hey there, this is Eman, KK7, QLW. And, uh, yeah, you know, uh, what you said about Jonathan checking in, W0X0 checking in from up there, you're right, he did. And he was using his, uh, his beautiful little portable, um, HF, VHF rig, rigs in the, in the wood box. And, um, he put a 80 meter wire up into the, uh, made a big delta loop. And he's using that on 2 meters, and 20 meters, and 10 meters, and it just worked. It just worked across, across all the bands. I was amazed. Um, I, uh, yeah, I kinda wish I'd used it more. Um, but we also had our fishing pole up out on the beach, uh, now with a new edition of, uh, Faraday cloth for the ground plane, uh, which works really well. I was able to talk with Australia on Saturday night. Like, talk with. And I, I mean, I, I made Q-S0s with Brazil, and Russia, and, uh, and a few Q-S0s in Australia, but had an actual conversation with a guy in Australia. Off that, uh, 20 foot tall, um, uh, it's a fishing pole, uh, covered with aluminum tape. And it works amazingly well out there on the, on the beach at Kirby. Um, yeah, so, uh, yeah, thanks for mentioning that about Jonathan. He was, he was out there at camp. His camp name's Haywire, and he was a great addition. I hope he keeps coming back. KK7, QLW, back to you, Jack.
