Oh, thanks Dave. I wrote that call sign down. I'll look it up in a little bit. Kilo Echo 2 Gulf Kilo Lima. I did make a note of it that time. I'll have to check it out just to see. I think you said La Cielette, New Jersey and that sounds very familiar. I just can't remember where it is compared to where I lived in Union County or Clark. Yeah, 851.405 is the ZMR channel that I usually monitor. I try to take one of the IT radios or network radios with me in the shop almost every day and sometimes I'm on the 065 also. Yeah, I knew about the directional antennas for links and stuff in the broadcast world but what I was so surprised about was the actual transmitter antenna transmitting to the public on the radio station's frequency. I thought that would always be an omni. I thought. I just assumed. I never really gave it much thought. I just pictured in my head that a commercial broadcast station would surely be transmitting off an omni antenna and he corrected me on all that and explained why. I was amazed. I was just amazed. That's just 15 degree tilt that we need to build into this mount and they're going to let me do it. They're going to let me do one for sure. They definitely want to try one of mine. It's going to be something different than what I've been doing now. We've got other ones where they had to do a 2 degree tilt for a specific reason. And when I talk to you about it, I'll tell you all about it. It was just a very interesting meeting. It was supposed to be one hour and at the one hour mark we finished up and I stood up to leave and all. And before you knew it, we were standing there talking for another hour. I ended up spending two hours with them which was great. I didn't mind at all. So a lot of interesting info. All right, I'm going to look that call sign up on QRZ in a little bit. I had just gotten in the house here when I checked in so I'm going to get out of my work clothes. And I'll be listening along. I'm going to leave this on so I can listen to the rest of the net. And before you know it, it will be supper time here. I think it's 5.15 or 5.20 now. 1720 I guess. So I'll give it back to you Diggs. I'll get back to listening, back to net control from N9 KGC.
