Alright, good morning everyone. Beautiful, beautiful day here in Joliet, Illinois. I don't see Joliet Jake anywhere, but I do see signs for the Route 66 Diner and I'm actually on Route 66. I'm looking at the historic route sign as we speak. So, uh, it's a year, I think they got a three billion dollar construction project, which I'm doing a small portion of, but they're building an outdoor area with mountains and stages and it's just going to be beautiful. But, uh, I think my favorite radio is my THF6A, is that sound right? The Ken one. It's the Tri-Bander and it has full power on a full five watts. It's 2 meters, 440 and it also has 1.25 meters, 220 megahertz. And that's my favorite of my HTs. But I have several. I did buy that bull thing that Daryl was talking about and I got it on Amazon and my dad kind of like, when I got back into ham radio, he's like, you know, you can get back in pretty cheap with the bull thing. And I took it down to the city of Chicago and it didn't work there. The front end was just getting overloaded by, you know, there's no filters or anything. So, um, that's when I bought the Kenwood. I have my original Yacu back from the 80s. I don't remember what my number is. But if I were to buy another radio, I really like that new Kenwood that replaced my radio that had three bands and now they added digital to it. I think it's only a non-ICOM radio that has that. It's a pretty pricey radio and with my situation right now, I'm on a budget and I just don't see me using it. I already have a D-Sire radio, one that Daryl recommended many years ago and this thing is, you could probably drop it off a building and it would last and go deep-sea diving with it. Anyway, that's the 92A. That's you Josh. That's the K-9.
