Alright Sean, thanks for your report, but Sounds like your day went alright, and you are staying out of trouble there So yeah The rain will definitely be continuing for a few more days And maybe we'll get some sun. Alright, we had an I.O. from MAC, KI-7UEF from several Thousand feet up in the air and I hope we'll talk to you soon and that's going to bring us next to you, Arthur, KU7 and you. Hi, Arthur, please come ahead. Good evening to Lynette and I believe Paul. I didn't catch your name. Unfortunately, I came in late to Lynette after doing a bunch of chores. But yes, if it's K7PJP, I believe you said that, hello. So yeah, I'm hearing about Camp Quest. I've actually been quite interested in checking out Camp Quest and the fact that there's a convergence of that and the Radio Club of Tacoma. Looking forward to, I hope, depending on busy family schedules and whatnot, I think it'd be pretty interesting to check that out. I have a six and an eight-year-old. the eight-year-old absolutely is quite interested in radio. I think the six-year-old will get there soon. But yeah, hopefully able to make that. But I wanted to mention to KK7QES Justin, I did a similar project just a few weeks ago, actually after the extended outage, I think we had 18 hours of power out in early October here. That's what motivated me to get back on the radio, but doing a couple of dipole projects and then, which resulted in me getting my first HF radio. I found that micro cord is amazing to use, much better than fishing line. Fishing line is so light that it gets tangled really bad. And once a tangle forms, you're kind of in trouble. Also a bow and arrow if you have a friend who, if you have one or have a friend with one, that is definitely my recommended approach. I have lots of Douglas fir trees here. I'm between Eastern Highlands and Issaquah, so abundant trees. So that's one of the things we're blessed with in this region. And so getting a micro cord up first is excellent. And it seems to follow an arrow really well with lots of electrical tape holding on. and lighted NOx are useful as well. Yeah, so check that out, and best luck with antenna projects. They're lots of fun, and who says we can't have fun even out in the rain where Northwestern is after all? So, 73 to the net, KE7 in UI.
