Alrighty, man, yeah, that is some great contacts there. Well, you know, he, when Jonathan, W0x0, first met a lot of us, I don't think I'd even heard of him, but this guy shows up, he's got this little cube box that he put together, and except for the bottom, which I think it probably had some kind of rubberized cloth on there so it doesn't slip and slide across tables and whatnot, he had, every side of this box has some sort of microphones or input-outputs or, you know, radios hooked to it or set inside the box and holes that he's cut in it. I mean, everybody looked at it and went, what is that? And of course, we knew what it was, it's a wild project he put together, but when we started having him discuss what he'd done and how he had done it, we were like, This is the craziest, coolest thing I've seen in a long time, and I've got a lot of pictures of it. I'll try to get some posts today on the Facebook discussion group page for Facebook, I mean for PSRG, but it is really quite amazing. And I don't think I've ever picked that up, but how much does that thing weigh, do you think there? 15 pounds, maybe? I don't know. Have you picked that up, that box that Jonathan put together? Back to you, Eman. Oh, you know, I would say it weighs less than a bowling ball, honestly. Heaviest thing in there has got to be the battery. He has a lithium-ion battery, I think he said he took it out of a one-wheel, you know, one of those hover-scooter things out of a one-wheel or something like that. And yeah, I mean, it's really not very heavy, because the battery is the heaviest thing in there, and he's got a VHF rig, or VHF UHF I think, and then also an HF rig, so not very heavy at all. It's pretty amazing. Back to you, Jack.
