Okay, thank you very much. Good evening to our stateside friends in Washington. This is Pogo, Pouya, November, Yankee, Sarah. My name is Steven. And it's our lunch break here Wednesday afternoon here, 17 minutes before 1 o'clock in the afternoon. And speaking of Halloween weekend, we're practically gearing up for the influx of everybody who will be coming home to the provinces and visiting the great side of their loved ones. This is also a public safety event here in my homeland that we have. Many amateur age operators here will be gearing up, doing motorist assistance to everybody who will be going home, visiting the great side of their loved ones. And it's going to be a hectic one for us. But don't worry, there are also trick-or-treating for kids here, especially in the air-conditioned malls. 73, stay everybody. Pogo 4, November, Yankee, Sarah, sending it back to control. This is repeater station Kilo, Kilo 7, November. All right, that's, uh, appreciate you stopping by on your lunch break there. And that's interesting to hear about the Day of the Dead and how that is celebrated in the Philippines there and how you make that a day for, you know, for using radio to, you know, for training and all of that. So thanks for sharing that and I hope that all goes well for you. And, yeah, 73. Okay, next we have Brian, KK7MZW. Brian, please come ahead. All right, good evening everybody. This is Brian, KK7MZW. My second net today, the first one was 11 o'clock on the Lake Washington repeater, 5 lot, handheld from Paine Field area. And I was a little surprised I could get in, but they said I was coming in pretty clean. So I was happy with that. And probably enough that was on UHF, so from Paine Field to Kirkland on UHF. I thought that was kind of cool, 5 watts. And here I am back again and 3 made me totally lose my train of thought. I was going to talk about something else, but now I want to talk about watches because I think they're kind of cool. I can't remember not having a watch since I was a boy. And I've got a collection now that's very modest, like 3 watches, but I can't go back and forth between a Timex Expedition and a Seiko dive watch automatic. And I like both of those for different reasons. The Seiko is a little dressier, a little fancier, but the Timex is kind of awesome because it's quite thin and fits under my motorcycle gauntlet. So I can get my gloves on easier when I'm wearing that watch. I've also got some different straps for that including some NATO straps. If you haven't heard of a NATO strap, it's just kind of a different design, but you can look that up and see. But I highly recommend the Timex Expedition. It sounds like what 3 wanted was something kind of no-nonsense and relatively inexpensive and if you break it or scratch it up too bad, you can replace it, not feel too bad about it. That's kind of how mine is, but I've managed to take good care of it and it's lasted for, gosh, I don't know, a couple of decades. It's in good shape. KK7MZW, back to Nat.
