Yeah, copy that. Well, recently we've, the past couple of years, we've had a lot of newbies in our club here. I just joined and I'm sure they take advantage of this, so you have there on your net. And of course your social media as well. And that's always a good place to start and there's lots of stuff on there, of course, doing all that. But yeah, for us to have a local net there with newbies and stuff, that would be great. I recently just set up an all-star system here and I'm kind of learning that system as well, so it would benefit me as well. So anyway, thanks for that information and sending it to me. And yeah, keep up the good work. I'm not too much of a social media fan, but I do check in on lots of others. So I love a lot of the stuff some of you guys put out there. It's good stuff. 73B5RJM. Yeah, my initial reason for doing the social media, I have been talking to them about getting my ham license and all that stuff. They live in rural Louisiana and they don't have Internet and stuff like that. But what happens is I would make a recording here in Canada and then my cousin would go to my parents' house and show him the videos. And he would always laugh because my mom would be trying to talk to me over the YouTube thing. And he's like, no, Auntie, Wayne's in Canada. You can't talk to him over that. But it started with that. And then it was the way I run the net. It's a two way thing and everybody asks a lot of questions, right? And they have a lot of topics. We've had topics from Slow Scan TV, satellite work. But the most important thing, helping people configure things and figure things out. I truly believe that, and that's what I was about to do with the guy over there saying, hey, can I talk to you off the net there? There are some things that I'm trying to figure out and I can't figure it out. So if you have people help you figure it out, you do more on radio. I know people right now that weren't, they were solely against DMR. They were solely against the Fusion stuff, FTA, things like that. Then they came to little demonstrations and they piqued their interest. But the moment someone configured it on their computers or sorted out their radios, they're all in. So a lot of the conversations that we have on my net is just trying to figure things out. And for new people just coming to All Star Link and Echo Link and things like that, it's a place for them that they can try things out and make mistakes and try to get their radios going. And I mean, they're, the thing working, their microphone speaker stuff worked out. We have the patience of Job there. So that's why it's become such a hit. And I have at least 10 to 15 people every Friday night. I'm very shocked and very blessed. Back over to you.
