Oh dear, I just had a little coughing fit, a mini coughing fit. On mic, the first... I guess there's still a photograph on my QRZ CV that shows my J-Pole John J-Pole mounted on an antenna, or sorry, on a microphone stand. And it was easy for me to turn it around and angle it just like so instead of having a boom on the mic stand. It had a boom, but I threaded the J-Pole up through the hole and used the microphone boom part. I'm not sure if that's on the QRZ profile, but so that I could position the J-Pole and put it at a nice sweet angle. Turns out though I didn't need to do that here. All I had to do is I was putting it in the window and stuff like that. So one day I was moving it around, moving it around, moving it around by hand. And it just so happens that leaning at a steep angle, or it's pretty close to vertical, but it's angled just very slightly, just leaning up in the corner of my apartment, the northeast corner of my apartment, is like the best sweet spot that I found in my apartment. So all I have to do is sit it on the floor. It's sitting there next to my kayak paddle and that leaning in the corner. Why do I have my kayak paddle leaning in the corner of the room? Just to remind myself that I do have a kayak and a kayak paddle, although I haven't used it for a few years. Oh, okay, get over it, John. Just get it down there. Anyway, so these are my thoughts, Jeff, based on your report. Take care, Jeff. It's good to hear from you. And now next we have N3OMO. Elaine in Zephyr Hill, Florida. Haven't even written the FLO. Just FL. I'm trying to standardize and use the two letter abbreviations in the QTH column. And Elaine, you are the sixth YL so far and 16 operators. So it's better, we're better than a third of the operators. A little show, a showing of YLs. Elaine, this is Joan KXTCW asking for you.
