Okay, and on something earlier, and we do have some big talkers in the house now, so I guess I don't need to overdo it. There's a lot of contributors in place to be right now. Well, bootlegging means a couple of different things for amateur operators. One way is some people considered CB work. You know when you'd use the extra channels like that extra long band because it's illegal, people considered that bootlegging, right? Like let's say you use the talk around the world, and I get some of it, right? I went on the triple nickel and I talked to the international stations. You know how they would make a call and then they would call you on another frequency? I did that. I did that a lot. That was a lot of fun. It was kind of funny, right, because it's kind of like, hey, I'm talking around the world illegally. So that was a form of bootlegging. And of course, since I came or was introduced to CB and came from that world, I contributed it. I was never in any of those clubs. You know those two-letter clubs like your Alpha Tangos, your Sugar Deltas, your Romeo Deltas. I was never a part of those. I used to kind of fake that I was a part of a club. I used the initials of my name, but I don't think anyone believed me, and I don't think anyone cared. And usually the other famous two-letter groups got priority over me because no one's ever heard of me. So that was kind of how I wrote. I mean, I did okay. I wasn't working mad exotic countries, but I worked places far away from my antenna. That's good enough. And let's see.
