Hey Graham, GM0UUB, this is N9KGC. And I heard Mike in there, KB3GPX, I'll say hello real quick. I think he's here on the 851.405. I mean, no, 851.900, I'm sorry. Anyway, I'm done for today and I am home for the night. I had just come in the door when I checked in. I just walked in the house a couple minutes before four o'clock. I am done for the day, home for the night, taking it easy tonight. Probably going to get on HF tomorrow. And it was cold here this morning. They're getting close to freezing. I'll tell you, it was below 40 Fahrenheit. It was like 38, 37 or 38 at 6 a.m. So that's only about, you know, four, five degrees, I guess, from freezing. So, oldest night we've had this year. Well, since probably February or March, I don't know. Other than that, not a whole lot happening. Trying out a new Radtel radio that arrived today, the Radtel RT950. I'm not on it now. I'm on else. But I got this analog RT950 Pro that I just took off the charger. I'm going to be playing with that tonight. See if I can figure that thing out. I'll give it back to you, Graham, back to net control. Oh, you mentioned Machardist earlier. Yep, that's the word. That's the mashup of machinist and artist. I'm surprised you remembered that one. Yeah, you had it right, Machardist. So I'll give this back to net control from N9KGC. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November, Quebec, November. All-star... Well, thank you so much, V. And thanks for reassuring me that it didn't kind of cause any offense. Machardist. There we go. Yeah, machinist and artist, a kind of couple of that. So that's great. So I got it right. As soon as I said it, I thought, hey, listen, am I saying something that may sound offensive? There you go. Sometimes I get so paranoid. I really do. Am I offending anybody? But anyway, thank you. Thank you so much. And lovely to hear your phrase there. You're done for the day and home for the night. And that's absolutely wonderful, especially on a Friday as I start to the weekend. Everybody should be at least done for the week and home for the weekend at least, at least, at least. So good stuff. Thank you so much, V. And did the Vactel, I think you said the 950 Pro. I was actually looking at that. And it's got quite a big receive range there, shortwave and everything else, including SSB and CW, I believe. But one of the reviews I saw was like it was quite deaf. It was quite deaf on shortwave. And was it the 880 or the, well, anyway, the 800 and something. It was better for receive and shortwave. But of course, you can't transmit using SSB or anything else. But anyway, it's a fantastic way that these companies are bringing out all these various radios with all the different possibilities and for receive capabilities, sometimes transmit capabilities as well. It's actually quite exciting. And they don't cost too much. And so, you know, it's quite amazing. And, you know, thanks to people like yourself, I know you could help some reviews and everything else. So we do kind of learn about things before we go and spend our pennies. So thanks for that V. And that's absolutely wonderful. So there we go. I had something else to say as well, but I've forgotten all about it. So I'll throw back to you for any final comments on that. But all these new radios with all the fancy things they can do, receive capabilities, everything else is good to experiment. A9KGC, GM0UUB.
