Roger, the topic when I started and so many times we have topics of what's going on in our lives, I'm looking for an extra – I have one mobile radio, a UHF, a UHF, and I have one HF radio. And I have two handy topics. But I found that since I have to commute from work Friday the week from Cornwall to Ottawa, I keep dragging both radios in and out, in and out. And I knew one day something would happen and I dropped my HF radio in a pool of water. It was nighttime. I was staying at my daughter's house and I had it in a basket there with some clothes on top of it and I sat it down thinking I was sitting on flat ground and everything rolled over. My radio was speaker side down and the water and mud all over the back of it and I thought I had lost the radio. So I'm like, nope, it's time to get my pain together. But everything I look for because I want a radio with HF and this shacks in the box spoiled me because I work from six to 160 on it and it's got fusion and it's got FT8 and all that stuff like that. So I was looking for something like that that I didn't have to pay two grand for and that's hard to find. So some folks have put me in like the Ham Shack.com, I'm looking at that. Facebook, Marketplace, never thought about that. Asking some hams for some older equipment and just keeping that in the house. So that's what's been going on there. So thank you for popping in there and saying hello to us.
