I think so. Yeah, I'll stand out here and it's raining all around me. I'm in my woodshed out here with a USB light out here, but actually it was a reasonable light. Took it away, I said I can fix it, and then I just kept it because I just put a battery back on it. And you know, Pasternak, the place I mentioned on these Internet's a long time back about connectors and cables and all this stuff. And it goes extremely high quality to normal, and every kind of connector and every kind of adapter and from highest military and space application quality too. But I was at their website and they have a VNA calibration tool for like $20,000. You know, there's a package with a computer and all these RF tools with it. And then I went to Amazon and it was the same thing, well it says VNA calibration test set for $850. I have a feeling that Pasternak wanted to have actually the real thing, a scientific grade thing. So they have block diagrams in the engineer support section of Pasternak because they sell RF modules for building things like direct satellite TV receivers or typical RF transceiver modules you can plug together. So here's their block diagram page. Automotive 77 GHz radar front end in case you want to do something with that kind of almost imaging kind of radar and play with that stuff. Broadband TV, cable TV infrastructure, so that must include like fiber, I mean Internet stuff, and up and down and all that stuff. And there's a block diagram modules and they sell all the modules for this stuff to build something that's rugged and build your own. So yeah, it's quite a cool little website and every kind of a power divider or terminator or coupler or amp or waveguide component or anything you want they have it. KJ7VEU just a little technical tip and some good conversion charts and stuff. Have a good night Bill. Bill Nye-K7VEU Mike, this is K7WFT. Well thank you for pointing this to that site. I just checked it out. For those that are interested it's Pasternak.com. Pasternak has N-A-C-K at the end of it. It's just this big website with all this really sophisticated stuff. So if you want to just drool over some really cool stuff that you probably can't afford and probably don't need, there you go. That's a good match though. Well very good Mike. That's a really interesting looking site. And now having given Dean's introduction, having walked by the faux Shires, let's talk to the real thing here. Let's talk to Les in the Shires. Les come ahead.
