G-W-E-S-N-L-G-3-0-V-G-Z, returning. Yeah, okay. I think it's Dave. I don't normally join in on the big nets on here. I'm actually talking to my local repeater, which is three or four miles away. But I don't mind this net because we have a big chat as opposed to any reason of the story. But yeah, nothing on the storms, Dave, at all. It's been pretty quiet. I'm actually one of these guys who's been licensed for over 40 years, and I don't have an Earth system. And when thunderstorms are above me, I'll shop CQ, and I can't get any answers because everyone's switched off and unplugged. I'm a right nutcase, and I'm on the radio. Well, I'm saying nutcase. It's a long story. I was told years ago, what a track lightning is, so don't ask anything. And if you unplug anything anyway, it doesn't matter, because if you have a direct strike, you're stuffed anyway. You'd hit the radios in the same room. So that's another story for something else. But yeah, nice to talk to you at the first time. I've known Graham for quite a few years now, over the years on Zello channels and things, and going to Scotland and I follow them. And he does a staunch job on the nets as opposed to you, because I'm not listening very much. Because this thing overtakes our local repeater, and I object to it quite a bit. The locals can't get in to talk more about than one time. I was a bit of a staunch hater of these nets on this local repeater. But when it's quiet, I think, oh, I'm going to have a jump in. I'm being a right hypocrite. I'll jump in and see. So back to you, Dave, from Gulf Zero, Victor Gulf Zero, which is John, by the way. I'm in Shildon, just near the railway station thing, right on top of the high hill. I've got good take off. I'll probably get you in Wales, actually, in one stage. When I get the beam up, I'm going to call you in at the moment. If I get the beam up, Dave, I'm pretty sure we'll have a QSO simplex. On two metres from Gulf Zero, Victor Gulf Zero.
