Are you cheers there Dean? Yes, you are correct, we're only a PTT away, yeah. Hey, just a quick one, are you going to, do you use your All-Star nodes very much? The last time I looked on the ASL page, your node was turned off, so are you not a big user of All-Star? I think we did discuss All-Star when I was with you last. Do you know very much? They're over? You know, it's one of those things that I haven't been using in country, But it's one of those things I think I'll go in phases with. I'll probably get back into it. One of these days, I'm more back into D star. I was really into D star for a while. And then I dabbled with DMR, but it never was really my thing. I was like, D star better. But then All Star, yeah I just haven't, I turned it off a while ago and I just haven't plugged it back in to reach speed. I could probably do it right now. I use All Star a lot on my iPhone. Like if I'm out of town, like when I was driving back from Portland last week, I used the, I used to use the repeater phone on my iPhone and I did that when I went to the Eclipse a couple years ago too. I kept checking in from all these different places on my road trip. But yeah, I've got a zoom spot, I've got an open spot, but it's an old open spot, it's that little blue one, the very first one that came out about 10 or 12 years ago. And then I've got just a Raspberry Pi that I basically built from scratch that fits my All Star node. And for that, I don't even have a radio connected to it. It's literally a $30 USB headset that plugs into it, into just the Raspberry Pi, and that is the entire hardware. There is nothing fancy about it, but it works. I watched a YouTube video on how to put it together. I was surprised that it worked. If I tried it again, it probably wouldn't. Anyway, that's Anyway, over to you for actually your final VK3KK K2-70DB. I'll be clear.
