So that's what I was going to say. Herb, if you can't be here in person, you can check into the new net on Saturday next, October 25th, which is at 14 hours your time. And you can vicariously be with us. All right, and so the next, and the other major thing that's on our homepage is the PSRG educational meeting on November 8th, which is Saturday. The topic is satellites and the International Space Station. The November PSRG educational meeting is Saturday, November 8th at 1.30 PM or 13.30 on Zoom. The topic is amateur radio in space, operating cam radio satellites, and the ISS presented by Mike Thomas, KB8-BMY of no retries fame. The synopsis is stated as how to work cam radio satellites using modest equipment with an emphasis on operating the International Space Station. Access the onboard repeater, APRS digipeter, and it possibly, it's happened, my brother's done it, speaking with crew members. These are topics that will be covered. Cause you know, they have, most of the astronauts are ham radio operators. And I mean, you know, ham radio is the ultimate geek hobby, right? What's the ultimate geek occupation in the world? Astronaut. Many, many, many are led that way, but few are chosen. Even I applied for the astronaut program a long time ago, decades ago. I don't know what got into me. I got a polite letter back, but anyway, I'm cracking myself up. So, you know, what equipment would you use? Well, if you wanted to operate ham satellites, but thought it's too expensive and too complicated, you're wrong. You want to see this presentation, you can do it. KB8-BMY will show you how, and that zoom meeting link, hot link is already there. And this is on November 8th, be there or be square.
