Net control, W8WW, good afternoon, Kirk. Name is James here outside Detroit. Just headed home after spending eight hours on the P25. So, it's a beautiful day out here. My God, I didn't think it was going to be in the 80s, but as soon as we're done here, I got to call my nephew and see if he'll come over and loosen some brackets on the side of the house. I put some guywares on my dual-band antenna, but in the process I lost one of the five-foot masks on it. So, we're going to just put that on the bottom and push or pull everything up. To get it stabilized. My 20 or 25 foot of mask is just leaning almost to the point of drooping. So, I put some 1-6-teeth wire rope on. That should do well enough just to keep everything at 90 degrees. But, yeah, the guy's talking about Windows 10 and 11 and that. Yeah, I'm waiting on some tough heads for some people. And we actually have about 25 of them on backorder that my supplier should have gotten. I would call it a fundraiser that the repeater group I'm part of does. But I'm the one who goes and installs Windows 10 and then ups all the Windows 11. But other than that, not much going on. Bought what I thought was a full tilt mount from RF Engineering. So, it turns out it was for a specific antenna and was only one half of the piece where the piece that comes with the antenna mates with that. So, I think I'm going to 86 the rotatable dipole and go with a five-band vertical once I get some things done. But other than that, nothing else going on here. Back to you Kirk. W8WW here outside Detroit.
