Good afternoon, Jack, the rest of the net, uh, yeah, the world, everybody that's listening out there. I'm just chilling in this music down behind me. We're on vacation day, as I mentioned earlier on the net, and I got a few of these Mondays I'm doing that, so like next Monday I'm burning another vacation or a week of them. I should have burned them in the nice, uh, sunny time, like, right? But anyways, uh, yeah, and it's always no fun when you gotta pick them beforehand, like, right? I can't just, oh, hey, it's a good day, I'm gonna go on a vacation today. Anyways, I'm here playing with the San Ritsu test unit today. I pulled out of the garage, but actually I'm kind of playing with my, cleaning out the storage unit downstairs in my garage. Cleaning my garage is what I'm trying to do, which means I realized I have a whole disorganized side room of the garage that I should clean that up some. This radio gear up, it's kind of like a nanoVNA, but it's bigger and industrial. I looked one up and this one's and this one's in a better condition than probably that. And I just needed to buy a new battery for it. The funny thing is the battery's like 56 bucks, which is cost as much as a nano-VNA, but this is a kind of industrial gear type thing, so it's like what those are based on, like right? Anyways, I just tested my coax here again, and on the dip, I got a 1.5 SWR, and yeah. See where it was, 146, yeah, probably, That's probably why I have a 2.2 where it says on the meter right now when I'm transmitting 50 watts, so no fun. Yeah, someday it'll stop raining. Hi, hi. You know, I can fix my coax, but probably not. I don't really want to do it in the rain, but maybe I'll do it one of these days in the rain and then say I haven't these days off, but for a hundred I'll replace this old leaky RG8X I bought like five years ago and didn't tape up, which is like you're telling everybody, take your coax, even if you're just pretending like you're gonna do it temporary temporary because you know temporary can seem to last forever sometimes right year 2000 I put this antenna in coax up and it's still being used and well it's destroyed coax now is quite frankly like right it's got water in it I'm sure I know better but you know I can do better jobs but I was like oh it'll just be temporary, right? Yeah, I don't get up on the roof all that often. Anyways, yeah, there's enough ramble out of me. That's what I got going on right now. Maybe I'll make another trip down to the garage and go pull. N-7-U-R-H, over to have a good day.
