Yeah, VA3VWX, yeah no problem. Like one of the issues that we have here with the implementation of it has been that with with AMBER Alerts, there have been AMBER Alerts issued where you know everybody will get it but it's for a much smaller area. I'm not sure I'm not sure exactly why that is but I know for I know in the States with tornado warnings and wildfires and stuff yeah you'll you'll get it if you're in the area or if you're just outside the area and that's because you're still getting the data from a tower site that's within the warning zone right. So anyhow it's a good system that works in that regard right and this is one of the other things with people in cell phones they don't realize just because you don't have any bars of service on your phone doesn't mean that your phone is the other thing too is don't forget right there's different carriers so your phone might say you have no service but if you dial let's say 911 sometimes your phone will connect because it'll if you're let's say you're with AT&T but Verizon actually covers the area you're in you have no service with AT&T but if you dial 911 you can get through because it'll go through Verizon or vice versa right. So that's what what happens to in some cases and it gets it gets sort of weird like in the backcountry right because you have call I forget the company Colorado Telecom or whatever it is and they they have their own contracts and stuff so it's it can get it can get confusing with all the independent providers that are that are run by co-ops and stuff but but yeah it works. Okay I don't know if there any other questions if not we'll send it back to Ken if you have any questions come on in VA3 VWX
