Good evening, Brooks, and hello in the background to Meg and Kenan, MLR, and to two of my favorite puppy dogs in the whole world. Penny dogs are sitting right here with me. Yeah, I said your name. She's wagging her tail at the radio. It was then 7IQZ, and it was 2130 hours, and we just finished up with training for all of the rally hams that are volunteering for Tour de Forest rally, which takes place this Saturday, October the 4th. And it was a really cool turnout. We had a bunch of great questions, and I'm so thankful for all the hams that are volunteering. We got about 52 hams coming out for the rally, and about 124 total volunteers. And it was a really cool call. I went over all of the procedures and stuff and the ham plan, and I'm just reminded how much I love this hobby because I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there may be volunteerism missing from a lot of the parts of the world, but not within the ham radio community. This is a group of people that love to get out there and do things to help the public, to provide service, and use this amazing radio hobby to bring good into the world. And so it's always inspiring to see the people that turn up to do a task and help other people. Thank you.
