Well Brian, I wish you luck. If you informed me that you were going to do a test, but because I'm so close, I'm less than a click away from the receive antenna here on the Capitol Park. I can see the top, the elevator dog house on the top of the Capitol Park building from my apartment. So I threw about 20 decibels of attenuation on my transmitter. So the output, I also have a 1 to 1 SWR. Partially because I have 20 decibels of attenuator on it. So the reflected power needle on my cross needle meter barely moves at all. So it's showing an output of 3.8 watts and not only 5 watts but measured 3.8. And at 1 minus 20 decibels is 38 milliwatts or about 15 dBm. So to hear me directly, Simplex, when I'm only trying to get the repeater of my attenuator stack, and I've used far less power too. I think it's reasonable to attenuate 20 decibels. And I still stomp on people, any normal operators, you know, QRM aside. But yeah, so if you can pick me up directly, if you can't pick me up, keep in mind that I'm only using about 15 dBm, like 38 milliwatts. But I'd be willing to experimentally use more if I knew someone was monitoring to try to pick me up directly. And I do engage with the Simplex net. And if you meant the Simplex net,
