I will tell you what, Graham, the people that have been monitoring and being a part of these nets that we have out here locally, here in the Albuquerque and Rio area of New Mexico, they are tickled when we get some international check-ins. They get all excited, everybody wants to talk to them, and it becomes a free-for-all, sort of. And then there is a lot of discussion afterwards, not even having to be on the radio to have those discussions. I was with a couple of ham friends of mine yesterday for lunch. Dave's name came up, and of course your name came up, a couple of other names came up, and we had a couple of international check-ins in one of our, some of our nets here. We had our YSF reflector net, KB0WMA Paul, he runs that net on Wednesdays local time here at 6pm, so at 7 hours, and that's going to be a late night for you. I was a little surprised on last night, Thursday night, was it Thursday? I think it was Thursday, yeah, just last night, I heard Dave checking into the New Mexico D-Star net, which starts at 8 o'clock our time out here, which is 3 o'clock in the morning, so it's amazing to me that this guy just doesn't sleep. He's out there just staying up all night having his Death Wish coffee, and it just amazes me that he's out there. I'll tell you what, he tickled a lot of people when he checked into that net. So yeah, if you have all that information about what nets to get on out there, I'm sure that a lot of people would really appreciate hearing you, hearing some international ham operators checking in for sure there.
