Alright, nothing heard there. I do have some notes that I will make. As always, we have our club nets I want to remind everybody about. 40 meter nightly net on 6 nights a week, Sunday through Friday, 7 p.m. Central Time. Don't know if it's going to go with the time change yet or not. Don't know what will typically... Well, I can't say typically. It's just not the same every year. We've tried both ways. But, anyway, it's currently coming on at 7 p.m. Central Time, 72-64, Sundays through Fridays. At 7 p.m. Central Time. We have also a 40 meter net on the West Coast, we call it. That's on Mondays and Wednesdays on the same frequency, 72-64. Those are 815 p.m. Pacific Time, so that makes it 10-15 to 11-15 Central Time or Eastern Time. Mondays and Wednesdays only. And then we have a 20 meter net that's on Tuesdays and Thursdays daytime net. It's on at 11-15 a.m. Central Time. And it's on 14.283. That's Tuesday and Thursday only, 11-15 a.m. Central Time, 14.283 MHz. And then we've got this net on every Thursday evening at 8 p.m. Central Time. And we have a video net on Zoom. And you have to go to the website and click the link for that. It's on Zoom at 8 p.m. Central Time on Tuesday evenings. And I can't read that. It's got the long link, so you're better off just going to the website and clicking on the website. What else have we got going on? We've got some upcoming events. We've got a whole rally that just completed and we've got Quartz Nest coming up. We'll have some people going over to Quartz site Arizona for Quartz Nest. And that happens on January 18th through the 20th. Alan and Jay are AC0F and SWR5E will be coordinating that. So there's no link on our website, but you can look them up online and get in touch with them. There's going to be information coming out about it, so hopefully it will be on the website. And we have a spring rally that is going to be in Florence, Indiana. Let me reset. Spring rally next year will be on May 9th through 13th at Markland Town Road in Florence, Indiana. That's Follow the River RV Resort. I understand it's right on the Ohio River, on the Indiana side of the Ohio River. So look for that information to be more complete information and all that on the website shortly. But there's preliminary contact information out there now if you just look at it on our main page. And we've got starting to make plans for a fall rally. It looks like it's going to be in Milton, Florida in October of next year. So that's what we've got coming up for there. How it's going to be Howard N5IL is going to be hosting that for what I understand. None of those have got complete information on the website yet, just the dates and who's hosted them and that's about it. More information will be coming up shortly. That's about all I've got to say. Okay, well I didn't mention Orlando-Hampcation. We don't have any organized gathering going on there. I'm sure we'll have some members down there. Maybe somebody will want to get a mail list going or something between the food holes that will be there. If that happens, we'll start announcing it as well. If somebody wants to jump and do that, we'll be glad to have them. Alright, let's see. So far I have KI5ECE and 82IH. And it looks like that's all I've got so far. I'll log in. If we have anybody else out there that would like to check in at this time. This is repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November. All Star Node 6222. Located in Shelton, Washington. Alright, looks like we're just going to start with a couple which has been the case recently. I picked a topic tonight. It was one of them that was suggested somewhere along the line. What's the worst snow or rain that you had when you were camping? What kind of problems did you have with it? Were you prepared for it? Anything you got to add? If you didn't have those kind of problems, just tell us what other kind of problems you might have had. I mentioned sometime just recently that we had freezing weather at a camp site that we were in a number of years ago. But before we got the motorhome, I believe. So we got the motorhome in 2012. It got down to 17 degrees and we were staying in Alabama at the time, near our family. We spent several nights in freezing weather. Now we had to go out and buy an electric heated water hose. We had water. Disconnect and drain the sewer hose, of course. Keep it from freezing up. We didn't really have any problems. We did have a little bit of a water drip that wound up being some great big ice. It was over rips. It didn't get above freezing for several days. We had the water dripping in the water bay and it dripped into icicles hanging out of the water bay. Formed icicles. That's the coldest I think we've ever camped in. We've been below freezing shortly. A few other times. Rain is another story. Everybody gets rain all the time. We've been in some pretty heavy rains and actually had to evacuate the coach several times due to tornadoes in the area. I guess that's probably the most severe rain we've ever been in. Currently we've got a drain line. Our air conditioner has a drain line that goes down through the water bay and it's apparently stopped up or else the pumps quit working. Because it's starting to drip into the coach of all those places. Through the bottom of the air conditioner. So we've got to get somebody to look at that. It doesn't happen unless it rains a lot. But it does happen. Alright! Let's stop and see what Tom got to say about weather. KI5 ECE from K4H County.
