to me to allow me, well gold star there Joe as I say, yeah, Worcestershire is something that people struggle with. I'm actually in Worcestershire, it's a county, the county town is Worcester, so is Worcestershire, but I know a lot of people struggle with it, so I, that's doing so many funny memes about Americans trying to pronounce Worcestershire. I just say I'm led from the shire and it takes the Worcester bit away and makes it most easy. So while I'm still going, waving a hand to Lucy, nice to hear you want to hear and come back again. Eventually one day you'll get a license and you'll wonder how you manage without having to radio. But when I heard your name come up, it immediately dragged up in my brain. There's an old song, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, with Pat Tusky's ad in the, he might know it, and he can play it for you. But yes, what are we doing over here? Well, a bit unexpectedly early today, it's actually Tuesday and it's 4.30am, because we put our clocks back an hour yesterday, no are we, Sunday. So unfortunately the world is one hour. This is the computer station, Phello, Phello 7, November, Quebec, November. All Star Node 62, located in Stockton, Washington. I'm still running on summertime, my body is still running on summertime. But then again, I'm probably a different species, very hopefully come home. I don't believe this, which is an older version of mankind. It's something you pick up with age. You've reached the point where you get all your exercise daily from shaking your head in disbelief. And I'll say the famous words, I don't believe it. Every time you see something, you know, I mean social media is such a joke. I tend to wander on there once or twice a week, just to remind myself how ridiculous some people are. I'm trying to be charitable here. But yeah, when it actually gets light here, it's pitch black at the moment, then we've got a new balance put on my trap dipole, and hopefully we can get the HF station back on air again. And as I say, it requires a little bit of dedication because there's so much traffic where I live, like VHF, UHF, repeaters, Simplex, all-star and those are... Yeah, I haven't done it in years, you know. Not since I had my first license. All the logbook was all HF contacts, and now it's all VHF contacts and my middle license. Anyway, I've got to turn over a new leaf. I'm studying for the final exam, so hopefully we'll get there sometime next year. Wish me luck.
