Good deal, my friend. Good deal, good deal. Hope you all are doing well down in Texas. Let's go to Mr. Ray out there before he comes over. Well, thanks Jim. Hey, 4G. His first had nothing to do with Ham Radio, but tomorrow, November the 10th, is Marine Corps' 250th birthday from his start at Tuntown in Foyl-El-Fion, 1775. Okay, get that. Okay, our next Sunday night VE test session will be the 4th Saturday of November, which is the 22nd. If you're looking for a VE test session on your electronic type, if you'll go to hamstudy.org forward slash sessions, put in your zip code, and you'll find every place that they're giving a VE test session in your area. You can register right there online. Please register wherever you want to test. Make sure there will be somebody there. Regarding the VE test, you will need a picture ID, your really good email address. That's how the SEC contacts you once they open back up. You'll also need an FRN number, which you'll get from them once they open back up. Since we're an ARL test team, there's a $15 test fee. If you're 18 or older, if you're 17 or under, it's $5 in the Sunday night net. We'll pick that up for you. Break. For those interested in Slow Scan TV, the ISS, International Space Station, will again be sending out their SSTV event titled, The ISS at 25 and Scouts. There will be 12 different images to cut. Celebrating their 25 years, they'll start that on this coming Wednesday, November the 12th. That will have 1730 UTC. That's about 1230 hour time. And will continue through Thursday, November the 20th. Download the 145.800 MHz and they'll be using the PD120 mode. They'll transmit a picture every two minutes, pause for two minutes, and then transmit the next picture and that will follow on this two minute cycle. You can piece them up even using your HD, have your phone next to it, and you have a decode right then or you record it right through your computer. And they will be issued a certificate. You can contact the ISS, the ISS, anyways, you can see if you Google the ISS, SSTV, November 25, you'll get all this good information or I'll be online. You can ask me later. Back to you Jim, 840C. Alright, thank you very much Ray. Quick question, just for clarification, in case anybody needs to know. If you do not have your FRN number yet, and I'm assuming you can't get one right now, how do you go about test taking? Okay Jim, that's taken care of. What we do, we enter in your FRN number, we just put in 10 zeros. They will accept that, of course the FCC is closed, but like the ARL, they will go ahead and accept that for right now. Then once the FCC opens back up, they will then issue an FRN number and we will then just have to upgrade that. I mean you update the FRN number and then it will just go through. But yes, you can go ahead and take the test now and we'll just enter in a 10-0 digits for your FRN number and we'll handle it from there. Back to you, 840C. Great information, thank you very much. Alright, Mr. Emmett, 4EDP, over to you. Thank you.
