I usually am running 22 to 23 watts. Not only 25 watts, but I hate over rating things. I'd rather under rate things. So I say I'm using 22 watts. But I'm only transmitting from an indoor antenna. I've got a very nice J-Pole, John J-Pole leaning in the corner of my little apartment here. And it's actually the best sweet spot I've found in my apartment is conveniently leaning the J-Pole in the northeast corner. So if you're talking about picking me up when I'm on the simplex net, then I'm running 22 watts. And in that case, no matter where you are, you ought to be able to hear me. But of course, it's also the fun of radio. It's like fishing, kind of like fishing. My dad tried to get me interested in fishing. I was his eldest. I liked being out in the water. I just didn't like murdering those poor fish. They were so mad. I caught this huge pike one time. He was really mad at me. That pike wanted to kill me. That pike, pardon my language, wanted to damn me to hell. But it only had a brain the size of a pea. But it was still mad. That was enough brain for it to be extremely mad. So I like to experiment with radio because it has the kind of thrill that fishing must have. This is repeater station QA-Q07, November, Quebec, November. No fish die in a person. Sorry. I'm a little slight fancy there. Take care, Brian. All right. And Brian was the last in. We also had Cody and Tony. Did I write Tony? It looks like I wrote Tony. KB5TWG. And I'm going to start a fourth round for some reason. I have these little short rounds today. Actually, someone might say, Joan, those are normal rounds. So this is Joan, KX2CW. Bit loopy from the contrast agent used for my CT scan today at the VA hospital. But it's just kind of a headache right now. So I'm moving forward. Move forward, Joan. Keep going. Keep moving. This is KX2CW asking for more check-in.
