Yeah, I'm doing quite well. I'm running off of Echo Link off the app, and I got the green check mark to use this, so I'm gonna use it, but yeah, I've been experimenting. Well, yeah, I've been experimenting with APRS recently. I've also been in a course to get my advanced license, and I got an exam coming up very soon. December 1st is when I take the exam, and I'm feeling confident. Well, I'm feeling confident enough, but Let's see what happens, but, um, yeah, I need a seven-year-old to pass then. There's 50 questions, or there's 900 and so many questions in the question bank. So, yeah, that was, uh, that was a study there. But, um, yeah, I was just talking to somebody on DMR, North America, and, uh, there was a kid my age who was actually nice to speak to somebody that was the same age to me, and I haven't done that in a while, actually. And it turns out it was his birthday tomorrow, but it was funny because I was talking with him and I think we started our QSO together around 11.30 and then we spoke for a straight hour. And yeah, we definitely congested 93 there, but yeah, and halfway through it, he said, yeah, my birthday is tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. And I said, maybe look at the time now. So I think me and you were in the same time zone. He's like, yeah, I just noticed it's 12 o'clock. So that was a funny experience there. And it was actually a nice kid. It was nice to talk to him. And that's funny, too. We got our license the exact same day and the exact same year and the exact same month. So that's also a coincidence. And that's funny, too. We also own the same radio. And, uh, we also, um, you know, share a lot of the common same interests that me and Emma have, so that was also, uh, quite interesting there, and, um, yeah, and that's, uh, that's about it. Actually, you know what? I got a new radio for the car, and I got the radio out of the DB25SD. It's a DMR and analog radio, and I can get into the repeaters from that, so I don't have to hook up a handheld every time I go out. It was just easier to put one in the car now, and it does support APRS beaconing, though. It does not support, you know, the full APRS functions there. It just beacons its location, and it's good enough for my use case, but anyways, I'm not going to keep you here longer, I'm going to hand it back now. VA3 FBM back to net 73.
