All right, the Queen Mary, I'm kind of distracted there, I've finished something. You know, that is one of the kinds of microphones, I would love to get one of those old RCA ribbon microphones, which are actually folks are dynamic microphones, but they have a very tiny output, so they need a preamplifier, or a high gain, a lot of gain on the microphone, which the standard solution is like these days, if you've got an XLR wiring, you can buy something that's phantom powered, it's not for the microphone, but it's called a cloud lifter, which is like a 20 dB preamplifier, the inline preamplifier that runs off of 48 volt phantom power, which is a good solution for an old ribbon microphone, and I don't know what they've got in the Queen Mary station, they probably, you know, since it's radio, probably something completely custom built, but that's a great photo Francisco, and I'm glad you've got that in there, and this is the first time I've logged you, and so I hope that it's not the last time, I hope that you'll be a regular visitor to these nets, and on Monday night, I'm the one that's doing it, Monday night Pacific time, and so, fine business. And with that folks, I am now moving things around in my shack, taking this book off of the stand where I was reading the book, and I'm putting one of my old iPads, I've got three iPad minis here, unfortunately, this power cord doesn't reach close to where I'm located, but that's okay, here I am, here comes the post-damage, I'm going to sign off here.
