Well, you say on your QR set, musician on the weekends, you've got to be playing somewhere around here. And I found the viola and the Yakima Symphony and Chihuly's and the Seattle Chamber, I forget what it's called, and Mutual Friends on Facebook, I found you, Ryan Schultz, you know, he's PNB too. But myself, I'm just typical community musician playing two community concert bands. I've got to find an orchestra. I play oboe or saxophone I can play all the others if it's outdoor Christmas I can play brass and of course I'll go play tuba Christmas at Seattle Center in December so that's one of the fun things I'll play that in euphonium although I'm not a euphonist and not too confused with euthanist a euthanist definition of you of the euphonist is a euphonium player who loves play euphonium but makes living playing trombone anyway it's but I say that because euphonium is It's a nice low voice, viola I love, I'm sure you know Amelia and Olivia are really good violin kids in their musical places, but I like the warm sounds, I really do. Anyway, I've been sitting messing with radios. We had a problem with the drain today, a friend came over and we snaked the drain out and then we were putting the snake away in a cat file drawer in the basement and he said, ìWhat are these handhelds? of my GMRS radios and I was wondering where they were, somehow they got down in the drawer. I'm trying to charge them right now and they've been so dead that the batteries aren't good except to charge. This week I messed with some UV5R Minis and came with a little better antenna, the stubby that doesn't work really and a little better one and keeps them small and can fold over and once I got them programmed I bought the RT systems but even it had some trouble that and always transmit the power to high, I used the one that was free that you could get from it. Maybe itís a chirp version and it canít be copied into. But using moving data from RT systems, other ones that are heavily like AnyTone, putting that data in CVX and I can copy and paste, move it over. One of those conundrums for you is three different tools to get the data where you want to massage. But itís part of radio, isnít it? Anyway, I'm going to say 73, and everybody have a great day. Tomorrow is Band Day and Museum. Talk to people at noon. W-S-O-N-O-H. Yes, I know the plight of trying to go from the AnyTone software back to Chirp, export to CSV, get the columns right. Hope this one is four digits after the decimal. This one won. All that fun stuff, fun stuff. Hey, I didn't know you played so many different instruments there. That's very, very cool. I actually started off violin when I was five, kind of switched to viola for college. And I've got to say the same thing. I actually like those inner voices, that deeper. I still do play violin occasionally. And I've got to say that higher E string and getting way up there and stuff, I just don't like it as much. I prefer the richer, deeper sound there. Very cool, Dad. Well, thank you so much. It sounds like you did a little Google sleuthing on me and stuff, but glad you found some good stuff there. Not all the bad stuff. All right, thanks so much, Dan. You have a good night. All right, next up here, Mike, how are you doing? KJ7VEU. Please come ahead with the report.
