Yeah, good evening Dave. Yeah, I'm actually, so home PTH is Atlanta, Georgia. I'm currently, ironically somewhere near Jim in the Carolinas. I'm on a road trip, which last time I checked into this net, on the same road trip, driving from Georgia to Virginia. But I really, Jim's check-in really kind of hit close to home because I think we were licensed pretty close at the same time with the way the call signs line up. I also in a former life was a commercial fisherman and spent a lot of time on radio and ever since I've been licensed as a ham have quite a bit of mic fright. I actually spend a lot of time on the networks over in the UK. They seem a little more forgiving for the mistakes we'll say. But everybody for the most part I've encountered on amateur radio has been very nice and forgiving and welcoming. It's been a great hobby. I really enjoy it. I just wanted to check in. I listen every week but most of the time I'm on my drive home from work and one reason or another I don't check in most of the time because I'm too nervous to push the button because I don't know what to say or what order to go in. There's always something you make up in your brain that uh that makes you makes you a little hesitant to push the DTT when you're new but yeah so I saw that as my opportunity and I really appreciate you guys running the net I guess I'd have listened every week and I really enjoy it and also a small world the United States I've been on that roller coaster in Dollywood about five or five years ago and it's one of the few that made me nervous I don't know if it was the speed or the the wooden roller coaster I'm just getting old but yeah it's it's quite a ride that's for sure so yeah thanks again for running the net and I'll turn it back to Nekatrol KR4FLS
