Can I be seen here in Newcastle? Yes. The Votascope. The Votascope is a great tool. If you're at the homepage of the PSRT.org, off on the right side there is the Votascope. That will show you your relative signal strength on all the different receivers around the area. There's also, if you're on the webpage there, there's a tab that says Repeater. If you go down to Voting System, there is a version of the Votascope that also shows connections. So it will show all of the EchoLink All-Star connections as well as a web of who all is connected. It's kind of cool. It's a really handy tool, especially if you are out and about. You can see how well you're getting into the system and the different receivers. You can test different antennas and different radios and all that fun stuff. I remember when I first got on this repeater system, I was like, what is this thing they keep talking about? Everyone talked about it and I was like, is it Boater? Is it Moat-it? Votascope. That's what it's called. Anyway, had a pretty good day today. I'm going to let Megan talk about the fun stuff that we did today and what we got going on now. I just wanted to pop in and say hello. 731K9 BDC. K9 BDC, K7WFP. Thank you, Brooks. Thanks for stopping by and also for pointing out that second version of the Votascope with a V as in Victory, which gives you the connections. Everyone should know that the connections are fascinating. If anybody out there is looking at it right at the moment, the one with connections, if you click on that little blue text, I don't know what color it is because I clicked on it. I guess it's blue when you start before you click on it. Anyway, it says Bubble Chart right near the top. You hit Bubble Chart and you get, that's loading, taking a minute, a fascinating view of the network that is hooked up to us right now, which just glancing at it quickly has at least, I don't know, a hundred nodes on it, but some of them are collections like Do Drop In is on there. So there are a lot of people who are hooked to us right now. It's kind of fascinating. Let's see where we are now. We're going to go over and talk to Megan, K9. L. R. Megan, how was the day today?
