Okie dokie artichokie. Oh, I just forgot what I was going to say to you. Oh, yes. Now you are somewhat under modulated. No panic. I mean all you have to do is either turn it up a little bit to hear you, your perfectly clear signal. But you know in music school they actually teach you a miking technique. And if you get excited or you have to do something loud, how to back off, and then if you're going to speak soto focho or sing quietly then you get closer. In fact, if you ever see Barbara Streisand and how she holds her microphone when she's belting it out on stage, you'll see that she's got the mic up to her mouth and she's singing the quiet, you know intimate part of the song. And then when she built it out, she pulls the microphone way away from her mouth. Still aiming it at her mouth, but I love that. I remember seeing her pulling the microphone away because she was singing so much more loudly. Otherwise the engineers have to scramble and the preamplifiers distort and everything. So there's similar problems in radio. Anyway, Shawn take care and have fun. And I've got the first round and I'm going to read from the announcements. Some amplified announcements that Jack messages to me. And as usual Saturday, November 29th, every Saturday the Radio Colvat Tacoma has their open house during the middle of the day. If you're a ham or guest of a ham or a visitor, just go. They've got their own clubhouse. They've got two ham shacks upstairs. One is the museum. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7 November Quebec November. Also, the other one is totally modern. Also Saturdays and November 29th is no exception the simplex net on 146.56 at 20 hours. That's 8 p.m. Then next one Saturday, December 13th is the next PSRG board meeting and that is held in the afternoon on Saturday. The next one is December 13th at 1 30 p.m. That's 1330 on zoom. As always everyone is invited, although only board members can vote. By the way, my screen on my iPad mini 6 has just gone to night mode which has thrown me off slightly. Alright Thursday, December 25th. Anybody know what's happening? It's some kind of holiday or something. I'll have to look it up. And then Winterfield Day is January 24th and 25th of 2026. And that's next. It's a month more than a month from now. It's a couple of months from now. And then it then there's more announcements that are going months and months ahead. Alright. There is some artwork here, which I've just expanded for the Seattle Marathon Sunday, November 30th from 7 in the morning till 3 in the afternoon. And they especially need hams on wheels bikes, e-bikes, scooters and sag vehicles to cover the 26.2 miles. Much of it on bike paths. And to volunteer here's an email address. It's france by the way. 10 3 hfs at yahoo.com.
