Well good evening Bill, thank you for doing that. Good evening to everybody on the net. Let's see, from curbside I'm standing in the back of the jeep in the bed. Imagine if like the jeep was a chariot, which it is, you know it's my chariot, but they were like a Roman chariot. That's kind of the look I'm going for now. I, let's see, I built a, I have a receiver hitch, or a hitch receiver, and I built a bike rack, or a bike, yeah a bike rack. Something to haul my bike, which I think is ironic since we're like on the cusp of autumn and the waning days of summer I finally get this thing built, but I'm really happy with it. I just had some spare aluminum, some spare aluminum angle, and a piece of unistrut. That is my high-tech bike rack, so I'm very excited by it. What's going on there? Okay, anyway, other than that, let's see, so I did that. I did some, goodnight! I will! Sorry about that. Anyway, let's see, so now I'm remounting my antennas. I made, I took other pieces of angle, steel angle, and I remounted my antennas, so I'm very happy about that. I've got a tri-band, 2 meter, 220, and 440, and then I've got a 6 meter whip, but according to my calculations I can have this 6 meter whip going, and then in front of it, 4 1-1 1-2 inches in front of it, just like the J-Pole, John J-Pole, if I put a stub, if I just screw on a stub, it becomes, I think, according to calculations, a 2 meter J-Pole. So there we go. I'm going to try it out someday, one of these days. So that's my shenanigans here. Jeep curbside, KB9IQX, everybody have a great weekend. Well, thank you, Amy, that sounds very interesting, that approach with the 6 meter whip, and you make it into a 2 meter J-Pole with a stub. I'll have to look that up. That sounds very interesting. The image you give us of standing in the back of the Jeep, it does sound like a Roman chariot, and all I can see in my mind's eye is Charlton Heston in better, from like 1958 or something. Can you grimace like Charlton Heston? That would add to the look. Oh, I keep getting messages from Jack. He's saying rain is coming in two and a half hours. Interesting, I didn't know that either. All kinds of things happening I don't know anything about. Well, let's move ahead from Amy, always entertaining Amy, to always entertaining John's case, W7JSM. How are you, John?
