Well thanks Bill, nice to hear you running the Friday Net. And let's see, yep, I got that right, I'm 100% right and that's basically a good start of the day for me. My two things that I do right off the bat, first thing is to read some Bible verses, second one is a sense of worst code. And those two things are very closely linked to my brain, but anyway, it was great. And we had a roundtable, I think about 10 people, or close to 10, were sending Morse code. And man, I talk about trying to keep your mind straight, copying all these different people, sending code at different levels, different speeds, different qualities, and different signal strengths, and a lot of noise, and playing with the receiver, and pulling them out, and all that. But it was a blast. And I've talked to most of them in the past, probably most of the old men, like myself. But anyway, that was fun. And they were all the way from Florida all the way to Maine. So they're all over the place, up and down the eastern seaboard, as I say. And I do live, I guess, out here in the east now. So I've got to get used to thinking that way. Had a big snowstorm here, four inches of snow on the ground. I'm going to go out here a little bit, shovel it off. I did order a third ICOM 705, but I don't know if it's going to get here before you go to Florida, so I had to call him, DX Engineering. But anyway, it's going to be just kind of a rig just to throw on the backpack and always have with me, because I really need to have some Morse code. I could just throw a wire out the window and do that. Anyway, so that's it, Bill. Hope everyone's having a great time here in the holidays. And we had steak for, I heard about all the turkeys, but we had steak last night. And that was after he walked through a blizzard getting home. I walked over to my brother-in-law's house, and my wife drove me back into Blizzard, and four inches on the ground this morning, and man, it looks like wintertime in Cleveland, Ohio. Back to you there, Bill. This is N-G-O-B-F.
