K4H is out at VK2DY in northwestern Sydney where it's just come up to 23 degrees which is about 73 Fahrenheit. We can get a few degrees warmer than that but it's not until Sunday or Monday that we're going to get the real heat coming in here. Anyway it is currently 1141 AM but on Sunday we spring forward our clocks so this will then be 1241 PM instead so we're about to do daylight savings time. It's a three day weekend here in New South Wales. It's Labor Day weekend so a lot of people traveling. Schools have been out for a week now, I think it's out for another week so lots of people traveling about, lots of kids all over the place. It is what it is I guess. Anyway it's Halloween. Halloween is an interesting history here. Prior to the turn of the century or the turn of the millennium or whatever you want to call it, Y2K whatever you want to call it, there was no Halloween here really. Small celebrations, not really much of anything. The holidays out of I think it's beautiful spring time here and it's an autumn holiday so it was never popular before that time period and the interesting correlation there is that it's the time where Australian content on TV was lifted and so a lot of American TV programs were coming in and sort of influenced Australia I think and all the kids said Halloween looks like fun and so it's been growing every year since then and it's become a huge thing. Let me reset for a second.
