Thank you so much, Ray. And hey, listen, yeah, thanks for the correction. Of course, you're not done for the day at home tonight because you're still going to be busy doing other things, but at least you're done for work for the day and for maybe for a few days. Take a little break, sir. You deserve it, and go and have some fun. And you got the call sign right for Helen. It is Mike Mike 7 for Telco Bank Sierra, Helen Queen of Scotland. You got that right. No problem at all. Ray, it's always a pleasure, sir. You stay safe, stay well. Have a good weekend, whatever you do. Stay safe out there on the road as well. So we'll say 73 to you and all the best to N9 KGC. Thanks so much, Ray. And with that, we're going to go and speak to who is a contributor to this month because we are still in August to this month's newsletter and indeed, as they're looking forward to contributing to next month as well, which we so much appreciate. And it's one of our admins across here in the International Radio Network. It's Victor Echo 3 X-ray Delta PRAVO with Doug all the way from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. Hey Doug, welcome, sir. Happy Friday. And hey, listen, it's been a while since we spoke. It must be a good 45 minutes. Anyway, back to you, Doug. Oh, sorry. Over to you, Doug. Welcome to the night. Happy Friday. The mic is yours. Well, good evening, Graham and Helen in the background and everyone else listening. Hope all is well. Ray, nice to hear you. It's been a while since we've spoken. And Craig, I see you on the list here. Nice to see you as well. We had a lovely morning. Normally, we go to the gym on Friday mornings. We said, it's a nice morning. Let's just go for a hike. So we went up to St. Jacobs, which is north of Waterloo, and we took a walk along the Conestoga River. It was a beautiful walk, 15 degrees or something like that. So a lovely morning for a walk. And then we went out for breakfast after the hike up in St. Jacobs. And St. Jacobs is an historic town, which is just north of Waterloo, Ontario. I'm using, today I'm using a new node on a Raspberry Pi. I built a new All Star node on a Raspberry Pi 5. And I put an NVMe drive on it just because, just to see how it works. I mean, it's way overkill, but it's working pretty well. And I'm using an interface called an All Scan UCI 120. And I'm using an old microphone from my Kenwood TS570. So that's how I'm getting into All Star today. And yes, for the September newsletter, I've written a review of this device. So you can read about it there. I'll drop for a moment.
