All right, K-E-7-N-U-I. How are things going, Arthur? Go ahead, please. Hello, Jack and Lynette. Yeah, the talk of the repeater roundabout this weekend sounds pretty interesting. And I think that'll motivate me to learn how to do the software programming on my various radios. I just manually put in repeaters and such. But loading lots of repeaters, I think, I think will be a good thing, especially because I want to start using these for overlanding and more mobile stuff in my off-road vehicle. I did mount my AnyTone VHF rig in my vehicle last week and actually got to test that out on the net while you were running it last Saturday, not this last Saturday, but the one before that. As I was driving to eastern Washington, The reception was getting kind of spotty. I called in and yeah, I guess you got a few letters of my call sign, but the TX even on high power was just not enough given that I was near the top of Snoqualmie Pass and the terrain was just not really amenable. I was hoping that it would reach the Cougar Mountain repeater, but I guess the mountains and terrain weren't quite good for that. But I'm looking at the repeater roundabout map and I do see there's one by Ellensburg. So I actually will be driving that drive again Saturday. So it'll be interesting to check that out and see how that goes. But yeah, look forward to doing stuff on more of the repeaters here. So far I'm... But yeah, thanks for running these nets and yeah, glad I got to test the radio. RX side of things actually did work pretty well right up until about the Snoqualmie Summit but yeah a hundred watts on the mobile rig with the mobile antenna I guess this isn't quite enough thanks 73KE7 in UI
