This is correct. I am sitting perched in my airy Eagle's nest or a lookout the Capitol Hill behavioral observatory or Misbehavioral observatory as the case may be Last night and tonight so far seem to be fairly quiet by the standards of of my neighborhood and I'm flooring Capital Park with good signals into Beacon and Cougar because although I've optimized my J-Pole John Festivus pole on the microphone stand in the northeast corner of my living room, although I've optimized it for the Mike and Key 8.2 machine to which I'm getting in pretty decently it is less optimal for the PSRG receiving antenna which is only a click away or less so I have boosted my power we've actually should say I've removed seven decibels of attenuation to so I only have 13 decibels of attenuation so I've increased my RF power output to 22 DBM or alternatively known as 1 5th watt. I know for me it's kind of QRO isn't it? I have finished reading all of the Anne Cleves, not to be confused with Anne of Cleves, Detective Inspector Vera Starnhop novels. The eight that I have are first eight, there are three more I can read but I've run out of them so I've switched over to Kate Quinn another author whom I adore as a reader and her that I a friend of mine she has a trilogy she does historical fiction and and a friend of mine sent was enthusiastic about Kate Quinn and sent me the middle book of her World War II era spy women and so I had ordered the other two that I hadn't read so there's the Alice Network is the first one the Huntress is the middle one which I've read and then the Rose Code is the third one about the women the code breakers during the Second World War working with Torin so anyway Um, I've talked long enough. Happy third day of Christmas. So, take care, everybody, of all the numbers to all my hams. Joan on Broadway, TX2CW, back to net. TX2CWK7W. Thank you, Joan. I just have this great image of you perched in your area there with your eagle eyes, checking out the behavioral characteristics of the inhabitants of your neighborhood I know it was interesting you mentioned 22 DBM is what you put that right now that's just that's right in the same range as these mesh for repeaters most of them are just about that 22 DBM and thanks for your reference to the fictional stuff you're reading about World War two and women spies I've been on a kick of reading non-fiction spy stuff. We've read a great one by a Russian, well he was actually born in Germany, but he was a Russian agent in the U.S. from the 70s through, I don't know how long he lasted, named Jake Barsky, has a really interesting, just a true-life memoir. And my wife is reading a book, I think it's relatively new, called A Family of Spies. And I'm not sure what it's about, but it's true. It's another memoir about the family of spies. I will read that soon and report back. Thank you, Joan. Let's go over and talk to, is it Arthur? My notes are kind of messy. K-7 N-U-I. I think you said Arthur. Come ahead.
