Good evening Rebecca and everybody on the net, I'll be doing you around I'll be. Well I'm on my second pint mug of Lapsong Souchong, very strong tea. Ah dear, I'm trying to think, it's pitch black over here, what 4.55, coming up to 5am over here. But yeah, it's all antenna work, I was listening to the net and fascinated by all the Halloween things. Having brought up four kids, it's been an awful lot of Halloween, but I mean they're all in their 40s now, they've got their own kids. They're all doing their own Halloween thing now so we don't bother with it anymore. Most of the little black I live in, 326 houses and most of the young children have now grown up so we don't really get trick or treating up here anymore. It's all a bit of a non-event unfortunately, I used to probably enjoy it. But yeah, I've taken down the picture off the QRZ of the Halloween pumpkin, I've put up those as a seasonal thing. But yeah, hopefully the rain will stop off today and I can go and load the back of the one yet again. Of course I've done it for the last time this year but it's decided to grow again now so I'm going to have to do that and get out and do some antenna work. So yeah, I've decided to have a bit of a review of the year for what I've been doing with RadioWise. I think this is probably my most radioactive year since I joined the hobby. So in 12 years I've done so much stuff on the radio it's untrue. We'll have to do some more, I'll have to finally get round to setting up the FT8 and trying that out, it doesn't really appeal to me. I've got a radio that will do it so the iCom IC7300 which is already set up for things like the FT8. I need to do it, I can say I've done it and that's it and I need to crack on with the Morse code. And I need to sit down and start reading the syllabus book for the full license over here. I need to get that moving as soon as possible. So yeah, I need to crack on with that. But yeah, lovely to hear everybody in the Halloween store isn't it? It certainly starts my day off on a very positive note. So yeah, I really enjoy the net and thank you guys that do the net control for running these things, it's fantastic. In Seattle I'll probably volunteer my services but as I say unless I come to Seattle I don't think that's ever going to happen. So with that, I've got a lot of help to record here. I'll pass it back to net control and wish everybody a fantastic Saturday. Oh no sorry, it's still Friday over there. So hopefully have a nice weekend guys. I forget sometimes we're a little bit ahead of you here. We're 8 hours older than you guys. No 7 sorry, because we moved our clock last weekend so I'm actually an hour younger than I used to be. But yeah, I'll probably be able to tell. So with that, back to net control, back to you Rebecca, 2-0-L-R-V, and there's from the shop.
