Yes, day three, Joan and good evening to everybody at one minute. We are currently one hour ahead of UTC but in about a month's time we will become the same time as UTC when we get into daylight savings for the winter. So yes, six months of the year we're ahead of UTC and the other six months we're bang on time with UTC to start one hour's business because it starts to get very dark. Apparently it was brought in because it was too dark in the mornings for the school children doing the school work so that's partly why they brought in the daylight savings here. So there we go. And the WX here, it's certainly been cooling down the last four weeks for sure. We're in the 50s now and the daytime 57 degrees fahrenheit yesterday. It'll be doing about the same today I think. It's starting to get to that wave, you know. It's getting dark at night and you haven't to wear up again to get the wheel and jumper out and that kind of thing. And I was even sent to yesterday to put the central heating on but I didn't. I'm trying to relent until October because it's very expensive to run the gas central heating. So yeah, that extra month makes all the difference on that winter build. So yeah, I'm trying not to start until October but we'll see what happens. If it gets much colder I might just have to give in and put it on even for a little while, just in the morning to take the chill off. In other news, I've just been having quite a last weekend. I did mess about quite a bit with the new ASU radio and I have been programming it. So now I have all the UK repeaters in that radio. And I set it up working for FT8 for a police officer at a monitor to a P FT8 station now. And the next thing I'm going to be looking at is SSTV, Slow Scan TV and JS8 call. I'm trying to get it all set up running with my laptop that's a MacBook I'm using as I'm going on vacation. I have to run about the middle of October so I've got a good few weeks yet to get it all going. But that is the purpose of working on the radio the last weekend or so. And the next job after that is to get it in the go box. And Joan I've got a quick question. I did see on the Facebook page that there was a Slow Scan TV presentation by the GSRG. And I just wondered will I be able to watch that historically on the website? Because obviously it was, I think it was a microphone. Oh, enough time doubt. Sorry Joan. I just wanted to know that presentation be on the website back to you there. MM0RKN chain 7383 and all the numbers 88 and all the numbers even.
