Well you know, I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven PODA stations that I got in the last couple of days. They were just going crazy. And one public service message, remember this was a test question, where can you communicate on the band? I heard one guy calling PODA at 14.348 and with a 3 kHz wide upper sideband signal, that put 1 kHz of his signal outside the band. And I sent him a message, excuse me, I sent him a mail, I didn't want to try to talk to him. What can I do? If I do that, I'm violating the airspace myself. But yeah, remember you can have part of your signal off band if you go too close to the edge because of upper or lower sideband. Not that you were doing that, but definitely I saw that. But yeah, loads of PODA, you can always count on a PODA station to try anywhere from Friday to Sunday. But that umbrella antenna is working super awesome. Why did I do that? At any rate, it was super awesome. I got a coffee can I've been saving in the garage that I might try making an antenna out of one of these days. We'll see. I had this other J-Pole I tried to make. A pole is a disaster. Couldn't get it below one to three. I'm just like wow, so much for that. Antennas are not my bag. I think I'll stick to software. At any rate, be safe with those trees. Don't get your toes smashed. I've got issues on my toes and I would not want to have a piece of wood fall on them. You take care Rich and have a great rest of your week. Okay, let me drop.
