A novel experience having to wait for the Morse identity. It shows how long it's been, I'm out of practice. GWA, SZ Hill from G0WUR, yep there you go, you've got us with the map. Yeah, a little bit, we basically say that when describing to people, you know, how do you get to where we are? You know, it's Aberdeen and turn left. More or less. So yeah, a good few degrees on the map further north than we were. It's two and a half hours from our previous QTH in Stirling. But it is an absolutely cracking drive, it really is. You know, there's no problems, it's just dead straight, decent road all the way. And yeah, we love it up here, settling in nicely. Yes, we do get some interesting storm weather up here. We have already had one spell of extremely high winds, which did bring down power lines. So ironically, I'm awfully glad that we had the industrial UPS. You'll remember that one day because you helped me get it into the garage back in Stirling. Well that monster is here and acts as the redundant supply for the house. Of course then enhanced by the generator and we have in fact had to wheel both of them into full operation on one occasion since we've been here, so that was a bit of a giggle. But there we go, the joys of. We're very much enjoying it, the scenery up here is absolutely gorgeous. So we're still getting used to everything. I mean we still have, I think we moved up here with like 150 boxes or something. I'm sure we've still got about 80 that we need to work with that. It's a slow process, but we're getting there at long last. So yeah, just being able to take our time with things actually and set the house out the way that we want it to be. So it's all very, very nice. But yeah, it's different. I must admit the one thing I am also noticing about being this little bit further north is that sunrise seems to be earlier. Well that's just perceptual reality, but there we go. Back to you Dave from G0WUR.
