Alright, let's see if this is... Hey, it's working again! That's cool. Okay, I'm on my newer computer with the newer Echo Inc. Oh wow, yeah, I wonder where everybody is today, but you know, this net was founded almost 20 years ago by Harold, K5MES, and Papa Chuck as we call him, K7ZWP, some of you will remember him. And Chuck used to always say, well Chuck was the backbone, Chuck was the guy that was here every day monitoring the net, much like Keith was after Chuck. But Chuck used to always say, he'd look at the list and he would always say, only 20% of the people check in, the other 80% listen. And we've got a long list of connections. And with Dewdrop, there's even more over there, more than we have over here, so. Sometimes you don't know where people are, maybe they're busy. You know, sometimes like me, sometimes I'm running around the house and I've got the HD with me and I'm just listening in and doing other stuff. But anybody out there that hasn't checked in, if you're new, shy, whatever, we welcome everybody and we'd love to hear from you, because this net doesn't, you have nobody check in, it'd be kind of a boring net. So as Gail always says, let's step on some cricket. So yeah, y'all don't be shy, just check in and say good morning to us. So anyway, just thought I'd throw that in there for you there, Missy. And who is it? Yeah, Chuck passed away April 6th of 2016 and Harold passed away April 6th of 2024. So yeah, those were the founders of this net. So anyway, back to you there, Missy. I got to finish my workout here. KK7Z, back to you.
