Sorry about that, some local QRM. And then the 20-meter dipole, the second element of that, that was, and that needed more wire, so I kind of spliced on some additions there. And probably most importantly, I had been, I had put lightning protectors on, but they weren't actually grounded. A few days ago, I put a long copper grounding rod into the ground right at kind of a point at the end of a downspout where it's real wet, so it's going to have real good grounding to the wet earth below it. And so today I did all the splicing and putting that in. That should be good. I mean, not that we get that much lightning here, but it's always good to have good grounding, lightning or no, and then just a little bit of assurance there as well. So yeah, hopefully that lends to some better HF reception, better UHF reception too. That's something I do want to test since Lake Washington met a few days ago and just get through. Jack had the relay for that. So thanks again, KI7 RMU, if you're listening. But yeah, so good Sunday to play with radio stuff. And I, like Brooks, I have not one more day but two more days. We get off from Wednesday all the way until January 4th, I think. So that's pretty cool. So looking forward to that and whatever projects I get up to. I'm actually looking to the project of many rabbit holes in of itself, but
