Okay, Ron, I imagine you all get some pretty cool weather up there too. So that's, I expected to hear more from you than what you got. Be truthful. Oh, I did want to mention, you know, George, yeah, George mentioned audio. I didn't do anything different tonight, George. I always use the echo test, and I may have it set, I think I've actually got it set a little bit lower gain on the mic. For some reason, and I have yet to figure it out, I don't always get the same sound from the same volume setting or gain setting on the microphone on this computer. So I don't know what causes the difference. I always use the same Heil headset, almost always. I did one night, not too long ago, try using earbuds that had a mic in the cord. That didn't work very well at all, so I always give that to one time. Other than that, I don't think I've ever used in recent times, at least, anything other than this mic, this headset. I've had it for a couple of years now, and I've used it ever since I've had it. Also, talking about getting on the net early and talking about net control being having it either every week, that's very true. We actually tested this net, tested the idea. Nobody in the club was doing any echo at all, and one of our members, W3TOM, at the time was the Atlantic director for the AWRL, had a repeater at his home and had it on echo length, so we were using his repeater. But Tom travels an awful lot, awful, awful lot. I think he spends a whole lot more time on the roads than he does at home. So that was all over the country, and we were having trouble with him having lightning storms and whatnot. And the repeater would shut down, and he wasn't there to get it started back up. And so we wouldn't have it for a few weeks sometimes. We wound up moving around several times, and we settled on where we are now. We didn't have the multimode net at that point, but we had this C-Link, the node. And that worked out real well, and they offered to let us start using the multimode link. And we jumped on that chance, so let me reset.
