Hey, good morning there everybody. KC7THD and we're doing pretty good. Like Joyce says, we're sitting out here on the porch again and it's really nice. The humidity is way down and the air is kind of dry compared to the humidity we've had the last couple of days. Partly sun and partly shade but there's not a cloud in the sky. It's just absolutely gorgeous here in the valley of the sun. When you can't check in, I have a simple solution where nobody will have any problems checking in. You just keep calling and finally until there's nobody there and you leave a 10 second dead airspace once around and everybody that wants to check in will get checked in. To prove that everybody's there, a 10 second dead airspace calling for check-ins and nobody's there just once around a whole 10 seconds. It works every time it's been tried. Anyway, on this holiday, Joyce and I should be up there with the Jeep and the cinders but there's 50 square miles of cinders and pine trees up in there. It's craters, big craters like Sunset Crater. Well it's right next to Sunset Crater National Monument and it's just really an experience up there. We Jeeped those big cinders, craters and everything at night. We have night runs. You could easily get lost in there and everything. Oh man, it's just an exciting time. We've been up there many, many years in the Jeep with the Creepy Trawlers Jeep Club and there's all kinds of other Jeep clubs up in there. And pretty good size bonfires with the clubs depending on the size of the clubs so everybody can sit around the ring of the campfire at night. And it was just a delightful time. Let's see, there was one other thing but I keep forgetting. What was it? Oh well. I'll remember soon as I unkey kids so I won't delay. Anyway, back in that control. KC7GHC. We're just putting along out here. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7 November. Okay, yeah I'm sure you guys really miss those Jeepin Trips and Campin Trips. Like you say, I'm glad you got all those slideshows and stuff. You can go back and relive them. And by the way, I don't know if you heard that Sue and I are going to be down that way the end of April, first part of May. So I think we'll try to book some time in Phoenix and maybe visit you. So now we're going to be in Sedona the 27th to the 30th of April. And maybe we'll get to see a little bit more about this trip. So with that, let's see. Let's jump down to Junction City, Oregon. AE7MR, KD7WA. Good morning Terry.
