Hello, Ke7 in UI. You did have the call sign correct, November Uniform India. And yeah, I was wondering if the AWS average was going to come up. I wish I had been on Monday evening. I'm sure that was quite interesting and amusing. I'm sure lots of other techies out there in the radio land. Yeah, so being a DevOps engineer and infrastructure engineer, when I started up my current job as a little tiny startup, we had everything in US East One. And my recommendation is we should not build any new stuff here. Let's slowly move stuff away. So I felt pretty vindicated with recommending that, just being an old and overloaded region. The reason I bring up outages is that the outage – I guess there were widespread outages with Comcast Xfinity on Wednesday – yeah, yesterday morning. And so I had no internet. Even T-Mobile, I think their backhaul was down or something, so the phone data was crawling. I was super bored. I'm like, you know what? I should bust out the old ham radio and dust it off. I have a 2-meter mobile radio, put it set up on my desk, and I can plug it into a power pack with a 12-volt DC output. So that got me back on air. It's kind of interesting to hear all the chat. I'm also watching the voters go to see things pick up. Anyway, I guess the silver lining of these outages is it connects us to different kinds of technology that are more resilient. So go radio. Anyway, 73 is out there, KE7 in UI. I had not heard about Comcast, etc., T-Mobile hiccups that apparently were on Wednesday, I think you said. But I was noticing for work I have to use a computer that's sort of tethered to my phone for internet when I'm out and about. And I was noticing all kinds of trouble with that that I just could not explain. And maybe you just explained it. So thank you very much. I appreciate that. Maybe other people are having that realization as well. And yeah, I think I was just thinking to myself, I used to work from home almost all the time. And yeah, things like that were always a great opportunity to turn on the radio or check out Meshtastic or whatever. And that is, I guess, one frustration of having to run around a little bit more. I feel like I'm a little bit farther away from those things and at least where I was through most of this week. It's on the other side of security, so I can't actually just bring in big old radio equipment. Anyway, I can't even bring in a bag of cashews. Anyway, Arthur, pleasure to hear from you. Thank you so much. And yeah, I would have liked to hear a little bit more about outages back on Monday as well. All right, we have three more stations left on this list. We have Sean, Jeff, and Paul in that order. Let's start with you, Sean, KJ7, EXM, tell us what your day was about.
