You must go to thedipole.com, thedipole.com. The 2025 British Columbia Academy of Balloon Arts and Sciences Awards, the 2025 Flody Awards have been posted to our blog. The Flody Awards are very, very important. If you want to see what we look like and some of the crew here, the Flody Awards video will not disappoint you. So go to thedipole.com, thedipole.com. The video has just been posted this morning. It is of high production value. It is, you've got to see it, you've got to see it. No other thing we've ever done on social media, you've got to go and check out the 2025 Flody Awards. The entire cast of characters is there. It's just, I don't want to give it away. You've got to watch it. You've got to watch it, okay? Repeater station Kilo Kilo 7, November Quebec November, All Star Node 622. Okay, thanks Ernest. With that, we will be, we're going to get into high gear to launch another one here in a few days probably. And we're going to get that high altitude balloon up. I'm, I've been going longer than we wanted to, but we're hoping for August now. So that's it for Mission Control. Happy summer to everybody. Back to Ernest, okay 7-3-1. Thank you very much Scott for that exciting news there. That's along the lines of my topic tonight, this evening. Not about the balloons, but about getting stuff working, having stuff work. Alright, we just heard from Victor Alpha 7 Sierra Lima. Adrian, are you out there with any announcements? Victor Alpha 7 November is over there. Go ahead. V7NZ, good morning Ernest. Everybody on net. Nothing really new to add. I'm thinking of creating a series of recipes to go with the floaty awards of, you know, certain types of food that could be enjoyed. Specialty popcorn, maybe even nachos, I'm not sure. But those are the kinds of things that you should be eating whilst watching the floaty awards. But we'll also take recommendations on that. That's all I have. Nothing else, just very happy about the balloon. It's currently at, interestingly the balloon went really slowly on the circumnavigation. Winds were slow, it stalled at times. We've had days of no reports. We think the solar panels will be pointing the wrong way. But every few days it's the least reported again. And in the last four days since it crossed the circumnavigation, it's just taken off. The jet stream's gone really fast and it's now off the west coast, northwest coast of Spain by about 150 kilometers. So that's pretty cool. If anybody, you can follow the links at thedipole.com or at v7nfr.com slash pico balloons. And if you don't do that and you just want me to send you a link or add you to my email list where I update people on these things once in a while, send me an email to v7nz at myrac.ca and I'll add you to the list. 7-3 and we'll see you next week, v7nz.
