Norway 7, Echo Charlie Victor returning. Yeah, it's almost championship level for 10 meter there. You know, you mentioned 20 watts. Even on HF, I'm lucky to get past 10 watts for most of what I'm doing. I've been a portable QRP guy for a lot of reasons. When I'm going covert with antennas and stuff, I don't want to be blasting out anybody next to me or anything like that for one. I just like to see what kind of contacts I can get away with, really, and who can hear me is the biggest part. I take more pride into who's out there actually hearing me from those sites than I do. I mean, I enjoy the contacts for sure, but just a quick map of who can actually hear me from that compromised position. In situations where people are listening to respond, that's such a my mind is beat, I guess. I could put it that way, Terry. Pretty fun. I have a good time with it. I mess with a mag loop every now and then too, but it's just so finicky, man. I popped the finals on my SBX a few weeks ago and still haven't gotten it broke open to fix that. So it's just kind of set the Alex loop aside for just more fun and games, I guess. Maybe something I pay more attention to as I'm trying to use. I think the wind knocked it out. I'm not quite sure what happened, but bad all the way around just by accident. Anyhow, it's fun to know that you're active out there and staying active. I hear you on the nets when I can tie in with the dew drop in group and the rest there. So nice to actually fit in with you here for a moment and get a little rag chew. I think we might be connected to the Pacific Northwest repeater group, I think is what it's called now. I think they just came in. So this November 7 echo Charlie Victor. I'll send it over to you, Terry, for a final. We'll wrap this up before maybe another net's going to start.
