Good evening Brian and everybody on the net. Got all that talk about New York, you know, just kind of sparked my interest a bit. Well, for one thing you mentioned pizza. And so in New York, I can't even remember the name of the place, but I remember there was like this really great pizza. And you know it's good because it's not around pizza. It's rectangle and they cut it into rectangular pieces. The real Italian way of doing that. But yeah, I haven't been to New York much in the last several years. I did go back in 2017 when my aunt passed away. And when I was younger I used to go visit my aunt a lot. She lived out on Long Island and she would drive me to the Logos Valley train station. I'd get the Long Island Railroad and I'd take that to Jamaica, a place called Jamaica not the country with all the reggae. And then I'd go into Penn Station. And then I would just spend the day walking around different places in New York. It was always a lot of fun. One place I really enjoyed last time I was there was going to B&H Photo, the big camera electronics store. I mean for one thing they have all the camera stuff you want and they have all the audio. They have musical instruments. But they have these conveyor belts just moving all the products. Like you say, I want this camera. And they're just moving all the conveyor belts across the place and all that. So anyway, you can do so much in New York. One of these days I think what I want to do is maybe just rent an Airbnb for a couple weeks and just take it in. Anyway, so today I did a Parks on Air activation at Lake Samanish State Park. A very quick one. It was just like an hour long. I had my radio with me so I set it up and I made 24 contacts. 23 of them were FT8, but I did make one FT4 contact. So anyway, that's all I got for now. Good to hear you back there, Brian. And hopefully I'll see you at one of these events soon. KG7ODB. Oh, very cool. You went to the B&H. I have bought products from them online. Very cool about their conveyor belt and stuff. That sounds like a lot of fun. Good stuff on the PODA as well. You might be the first person I've heard saying FT4. So very cool on that. I'll have to look at that. Anyway, yes, I said the same thing to my wife. It's like we should come again sometime. We should get an Airbnb and not stay right at Times Square and stuff and actually go around a little bit more. This was such a quick and very last minute trip. It was very last minute. Anyway, I will say though, as fun as it was, the hustle and bustle, I was – I can't get it. I just immediately go to Yakima, but I was so just looking forward to my nice quiet house. My quiet street. The constant noise and everything. The sirens constantly, constant sirens. I think that was especially worse because the whole NATO summit and stuff. President Trump and all the dignitaries and foreign leaders and everyone was in New York and we were constantly seeing motorcades and just police and everything. Constantly. Anyway, it was good stuff there. Thanks for checking in Dean. I was sad I couldn't hit the rain or shine yesterday, but I was. Hopefully the spooky one coming up here I think should be a go. Anyway, thanks for that check in. We will catch you down the log here. All right, three more in this round. Next up, Elaine, how are you doing tonight? N3OMO. Oink moo oink. Please come ahead with the report.
