I want to tell the other ham a little story out there about being restricted housing. When we were over in the island of Kauai over there, we had a two-story building. And what I did was I had a roll-up J-Pull antenna, which is made with a twin-lead antenna. And I tuned it up so it resonated both on two meters and 440. And you know, I hung it from the ceiling out there of our rental, and I was able to communicate across from Kauai to the island, which is probably about 60 or so miles across the ocean there. And you know, I had really good results with that antenna. So if someone mentioned to him there's some simple fixes to making things work where you can't have an antenna outside. And you know, you just have to be innovative. Also the ARL has a book out for restricted antennas, you know, areas. And we contend with that in Aria, too. We have people who live in H-ways that have to be careful how they put up antennas in K-6P-KL. Very good. Thanks for the recheck, Bill. And thanks for pointing out that resource for Gordon in Brockport, New York. And also, sorry if you didn't mention this, Bill, about restricted antenna situations and things like that. Let's not forget also that we have lots of great modes and things, and not just on the voice modes, but on HF with FT8s. And all those modes and things really lend themselves to, and I hate to use the word compromised operation, because it isn't really compromised. It's an innovative operation. We can do a lot more with a lot less these days. So it's fantastic. Thanks again, Bill, for checking in. And I'll open it up for another round of check-ins from the U.S. for the Trans-Cambodianette. Please join us now.
