Thanks for sharing that and I'll share a little bit with everybody that's there. I can't say New Ham anymore. One of my friends said, hey, you can't say you're New Ham anymore. You've been a ham for two years. I'm like, okay. Surrounded by people who are giving awards for 60 years on ham radio, right? What I wanted to say was, when I have my net on Friday nights on All Star and Echo Link, I have a net every Friday night on 8 o'clock Eastern. The reason I have that net is because I learn so much from people and I notice that a lot of folks that attend my net are new folks as well. So what I was going to say is, for me, I'm almost more comfortable talking with and exploring with folks who are new or newish than I am with people who've been in there for a long time because, you know, as I was at the ham fetch yesterday, they had a tube tester. You know, something I've only seen in the picture and on the display. I was at Dieffenbunkel War Museum and they were showing me a tube that I swear that thing looked like it was 8 inches tall or 10 inches tall and about 3 or 4 inches round. And I've never worked with stuff like that. But when you are surrounded by ham operators who've been in the business for, not the business, but the hobby for 30, 40, 50 years, you're seeing like you're kind of out of sorts and you're trying to talk about Echo Link and All Star and DMR and they're like, what's that? Right? It's almost like two languages. I'm glad you're having fun out there though and keep on at it. Can't wait to get your towers up and stuff like that and you know, the more you talk, the more you know. Thank you for being out there. Alright, any other check-ins from anywhere, this is Victor Alpha 3, Echo Victor with the Transcannon net.
