Yeah, certain names are universal. They have been for a number of years. So yeah, you're in good hands. Those are names I heard when I was growing up. If they're still alive, they're reputable people. It wouldn't matter anyways. I mean, antenna theory isn't going to change just because the guy's not around anymore. So yeah. Yep, that's the one nice thing with theory. Unless the laws of physics change, the theory should maintain. I actually started thinking about field day and portable operations today. And if it's something I want to get into, that whole PODA scene. I don't know if I want to invest in another frickin' radio. I know I don't want to drag my FTX 10 out and around. I don't know. Something I have to keep going. I mostly participated in Scarborough amateurs. So they furnished the equipment. I was at the latest one. It's always going to be a June-ish type of thing during that part of the summer. So we used the Yahtzee Club near the Scarborough Bluffs. They already had a guy that donated his rig. I forgot what it was. It was a big ass Kenwood. Probably an 850 or something. It had a knob about the size of a basketball. I don't know. Whatever. And yeah, they were basically there from... Let's see. They showed up mad early. I forgot when the contest started. I think it's about Saturday, right? But they were already there Thursday night setting up. And they were already sleeping there Friday afternoon going into the Friday evening. And I forgot when they started. Probably midnight. It's a very strategic time. I forgot. I wonder if it was midnight Saturday. Like the Friday night going into that midnight. And then 2pm Sunday. Where I showed up was about the 9, 10 am part of it. So I did a little bit with them. It's not too bad. It was camaraderie fun. We ate. We joked. We smoked. It was fun. For me it was anyway. It was more fun for them. They were more channeled into their work.
