Okay, it is 934 and a half. This is K7LLZ. My name is Ben. I host the PSRG 9 o'clock evening net every other Thursday night, which it is one of those. And our first announcement, it's still a ways away, it won't be until the new year, but the PSRG Educational Meeting. This one's going to be a lot of fun and very timely, and you don't have to be rich to get into it. It's very accessible. So it's January 10th, 2026. That's a Saturday, January 10th, 2026 at 1.30 p.m. It's on Zoom, so you can make it hopefully from wherever you are. And it is a subject, is an introduction to Mesh Core. Maybe you don't know anything about mesh networks. Maybe you have tinkered with Meshtastic. Maybe you already know a little bit about Mesh Core, but Madeline, KJ7NUW, and Amy, KB9IQX, are going to be hosting that Zoom session at 1.30 p.m. on January 10th. Kevin, you basically have everything you need to know to get into Mesh Core. It's a bit different than Meshtastic. I think most of us are having a little bit more fun. I don't want to speak for everybody, but it has been much more reliable where I am here in Tacoma. And you can use your Meshtastic devices, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, if you're interested. There's a ton more to learn. Again, that's January 10th, 2026. And thank you so much to Madeline, KJ7 and UW, who actually got me into mesh stuff with a hand-me-down node at Field Day a couple years ago. And Amy, KB9IQX, who has some of the best node names in the region. So yeah, stay tuned, and that will be a lot of fun. The mic and key swap meet is a ways away, but planning starts as soon as you possibly can. It's going to be a lot of fun. It is March 7th, 2026. I'm guessing that's a Saturday, but I don't actually know that off the top of my head. And again, that is March 7th, 2026. As usual, PSRG will have a contingent. We will be heading down there. I'm sure there'll be some caravanning going on. There's usually a simplex frequency that we use to stay in touch. And we will be doing an annual photo at the fountain at noon. Where is it, you ask? It is at the Pavilion Exhibition Hall at the Washington State Fairgrounds in Puyallup, Washington. It's where you do the Puyallup, even though I don't think it's called the Puyallup Fair anymore. All right, that's the Mike and Key Swap Meet March 7th, 2026. Those are the major announcements. There are, of course, any other announcements that we try to keep you up to date on. You can find those a couple different places. You can find them on the right sidebar of our website, which is psrg.org. You can find them on our events sort of calendar over on our Facebook discussion group at the PSRG Facebook discussion group. And then you can also follow us or join us on Discord, although it's been a while since I've been on Discord, so maybe I'm wrong. But lots of ways to stay in touch. PSRG dot o-r-g is probably the best way to find all those places. Those are the announcements. Let's get some round three going. Who would like to get into round three? coming in.
