All right, D-E-1-W-I-N. You know, I had a really exciting day yesterday, but I was wrong. I was having a really exciting day until I realized what the true story was. Starlink sent me something. And I said, oh my God, it's my portable Starlink. This is gonna be so cool. And I open it up and there is almost nothing in the box. It's just a little device. It's like a three by five card stack, a few by five cards, about a quarter of an inch thick, and a power supply. And I'm looking at it going, well, where's the antenna? You know, and I'm looking at the quick instructions that even somebody who only knows Swahili can read, and I'm going, there's no antenna. How does this work? Well, it's an upgrade. It's not what I thought it was. It was an upgrade to my router. And this thing is tiny. This is the smallest router I've ever seen. So I'm gonna, later on, I guess this afternoon, I'll go down and swap out my old router for this new one. And we'll see if it works. I'm skeptical. I'm skeptical because one of my backups here is that I can get the Wi-Fi right off the Starlink router. And most of my stuff runs from a table that goes down to the birdhouse by the lake and plugs into the router there, and then it comes up here and I've got Ethernet switches. And all of the stuff, that's the whole thing right there. But if for some reason that goes down, I have a switch go bad or something like that, I can use the Wi-Fi from the boathouse. I'm just wondering if this tiny router is gonna be able to reach my house with Wi-Fi. So we'll see. Elon, you're, dude, you are a very, very short rope. I gotta tell you right now. All right, let's see if anybody else wants to get on the Tuesday morning, Tuesday, November 18th version of the Calabunga net. Come down with your call sign. This is KC2PK.
