Well, I got the parts yesterday afternoon to build my mesh core repeater. I put it zip tied to the gazebo over the hot tub, and that's holding it up temporarily. I got it up into the area where it should be clear, but I'm still not getting much up here on Union Hill. I just need a little bit of a nearby repeater to help get me into the mesh. But right now I have about a 10% success rate getting in. Not great, but it'll build up to be, as you said, this seems to be the way to go. We got conpugetmesh.org and they are interested and we're starting the early discussions, nothing definite yet. early discussions about putting a mesh core repeater up at our Lake Washington Ham Club repeater site on Rose Hill. So that should be interesting. We'll have to see how that goes. But yeah, they are doing some great stuff over there at pugetmesh.org. And about here, been working with the repeater roundabout crew, helping with a couple more radio programming files. I did that last night, and we have all 157 repeaters in the list now, and I posted the files into the Discord on Cascadia Radio, Discord. Hopefully those files will help people program their YESU FTM-510 and FT-5D with all 157 frequencies. Anyway, that's what I've been up to, had some fun. I'll turn it back to you, Jack, I'm sure you'll have some questions. Oh, and by the way, you asked about Hero's Cafe yesterday and how the price was pretty good. Yep, anywhere, doesn't even need to be a U.S. veteran. If you're a veteran, you can come and eat for free at the Hero's Cafe that's on the third Tuesday of the month in Bothell. And again, they're skipping and combining with Linwood.
