Yeah, okay, good morning Josh and everyone on the cowabunga net. My favorite handheld I guess is my newest one, my FT5D. I just purchased that back in the spring I guess. I haven't really used it too much yet on digital mode. I live in a small town and there isn't anybody that's got a repeater close to me so when I want to use it on digital mode I have to go to the city and then I can access a UHF repeater in the city and get on digital mode. I like going to KCWIDE, lots of good nets and there's lots of traffic on there which is a lot of fun. But I've got three FT250s, I love those old radios. They're like 30 years old now, some of them, and they still work flawlessly. I've never had any trouble. I finally replaced a battery in one of them this year so that's amazing to me. And I've got an iCom that sits in my shack I guess you'd call it. I refer to it as my computer room slash radio room. But yeah I've got one that sits in the corner, a little iCom V8 is it, that monitors a repeater that's not too far away from me. So anyways, nice day here in Craven. It's a little bit on the cool side, we're at 10 degrees Celsius which is 60 something Fahrenheit but at least there's no wind today. We had a heck of a wind yesterday that was blowing everything away. So it's nice that it's fairly calm today. Anyways, thanks for having me on and hoping everyone has a great Friday and I'll turn it back to you Josh at control. 7-3's.
