Well, two quite different questions. If our repeater, there's talk of, to make it be an example of good behavior that the PSRG repeater would convert to narrow band. And narrow, I've got the radio I'm talking to on now has narrow band, so I would still be on the air. Although I used to not like the idea because I used vintage equipment. But I've moved on to modern equipment now that can get switched to narrow band. So I don't care. I think the R96 repeater has been on the air for 52 years at least. 53 years, 53 years. I think it went on the air in 1972 in that first decade is when the primitive primordial version of this net started. It was just a health and welfare check in net between some live aboard and then it evolved. My first net manager was Lee Bond and 7KC. That's how far back I go. I might be the old timer now. And so this repeater has been on the air. It's possibly the most, one of the FCC regional directors said at a meeting one time that some people think that this could be the most active repeater in the US. So I think those would be good excuses for us to stay just on regular standard thing. But if we want to be an example and go to narrow band, I'm okay with that.
