Good signal, very nice signal this morning. Yep, I got you 5 by 9, how's D-Lean and Autumn doing? Well, one day at a time, and yesterday was a great day, so one day at a time. Oh yeah, copy that, copy that. Okay, good Roger, we got you checked in. Jerry, AE70R, Jerry, AE70R, are you there? Come back to me. Okay, still not hearing from Jerry. We've missed him the last couple of days due to bad bank conditions. I thought we could pick him up today. But anyway, hopefully he's listening in. And I'll try to give him a call after the net and see how he's doing. All right. I think we've got everybody on the SDRs checked in. I'll be looking at those again to make sure I've covered everyone. But for right now, we're going to get started with the West Coast Bible Study. We are in 1 Corinthians chapter 10, and we are going to be looking at verses 1 through 15 today, 1 Corinthians 10. And the Jews in particular believe this delusion. And so we saw Paul in chapter 9 saying that he's in a race against sin. And he has to fight hard and run hard and discipline himself so that he triumphs over sin and sin doesn't triumph over him. And then he closed that chapter by saying, They didn't lose their salvation. They never had it. But the point is, is that that was revealed by the fact that they did not persevere in the faith. And with Balaam, he loved money more than God and God's people. And Judas, of course, fell in the same category when he betrayed Jesus. four and thirty pieces of silver. So the lust of the flesh after money is what brought these people down. So he's going to give us here a whole list of people and situations in chapter 10 where God gave them tremendous spiritual privileges, and yet they forfeited those privileges by giving in to sins, And as a result, they came under God's judgment. So the caution to us is to, he that stands, take heed lest he fall. So presumption is never appropriate. We always need to continue to work at sanctification and growth. So that's where we're headed today. And we've got quite the scripture reading here. And we'll read that section. But before we do, we want to open our time in prayer. So Ed, in 6XOH, could you please open in prayer for us today? Okay. Sure, let us pray. Dear Heavenly Father, we just come to you this morning. We ask that you bless our Bible study this morning. And it's to ask that you have your Holy Spirit descend upon each person here, that they open their hearts and their minds, that we can get a blessing from this study. that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea and all ate the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them, and the rock was Christ. Nevertheless, with most of them God was not well pleased, for they were laid low in the wilderness. Now these things happened as examples for us that we should not crave evil things as they also craved. And do not be idolaters, as some of them were. As it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink and stood up to play. Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and 23,000 fell in one day. take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you, but such as is common to man. And God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able. But with the temptation will provide the way of escape also that you may be able to endure it. Back to you, Max. WB7 of EZL. to stand. You know, like Jeremiah 17, verse 9, our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked. And so it is very important for us to surrender those hearts and ask God for a new heart every day. Amen. those kind of people. And so it's a warning against presumption. And it's telling us that a lack of perseverance in the faith is not something that God will tolerate, and He will deal with it. And so we see people here, Roger, with tremendous spiritual privileges in verses 1 to 4. But then we see them falling into terrible, both collective and individual sins, in verses 5 to 10, and then you have this advice given in verses 11 to 14. Don't be presumptuous. Learn from the example of others and continue to focus, to exercise self-denial, self-discipline, continue to follow, to serve the Lord. or else you can fall just as easily as those folks. You know, I am sure, Roger, that any one of us can look back on our spiritual history, and we have committed sins that we thought we could never commit. But it's amazing how that step by step you could become lax and careless. and presumptuous, and self-confident, and before you know it, you are doing things you thought you would never do. And so that's why, as you said, every day we've got to renew our heart commitment to the Lord. And every day we have to refresh our repentance, our faith. and our determination to follow the Lord Jesus and to walk in His Word. Great comment, Roger. Thanks for that. All right, any other comments? Please come down. Okay, I'm sorry, that's... Okay, I've got a double there. We'll start out with Will. Okay, Mike, five, five, try it. Will, go ahead. Well, I kind of have a question about verse 2 where it says, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. When were they actually baptized as they were going out of Egypt? I don't recall that being in there. Okay, I'm sorry, that's... Yeah, well, what the deal was there, Will, is that when Moses divided the Red Sea and they went down into the bed of the Red Sea, and the waters were a wall of water on the right hand and on the left, and so they go down, as it were, under the water, and they weren't actually immersed, but it was as though they were being placed under the water as they went down through that wall of water on the right hand and the left, and then, of course, they came up out of that, on the other side. And so that is a picture of baptism. And that's the point that Paul is making here, is it says that they all passed through the Red Sea and were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. And so what we see here... is that by this event, they were saved out of Egypt, delivered from the bondage of Pharaoh. That's a picture of salvation, nationally and politically and collectively. And then nationally and politically and collectively, they went down into the bottom of the Red Sea and back up out. And that's a picture of collective national political baptism. And then, of course, they had Moses as their leader. What a wonderful privilege. So we have deliverance out of Egypt, we have baptism through the Red Sea, we have the wonderful leadership of Moses. Those three massive privileges. You know, it says there in the first part of verse 1, there, Will, that they were under the guidance of the cloud. Remember that the cloud stood between them and Pharaoh's army, right? And so it was light on their side, it was dark on the other side, which allowed them to go to the Red Sea. So here they have God's salvation, nationally speaking. They have God's protection and presence in the pillar of fire. They have this collective baptism that they went through the Red Sea, and they had this wonderful leadership of Moses. Now, there's a list of privileges, Will. Go ahead there, Will. Well, let's say that I thought... they were talking about here, but I was wondering if there was some physical immersion that I think they didn't remember. Okay, bye then. Thanks for clarifying. Yeah, copy that. It wasn't physical immersion, but it was a picture of physical immersion. Just like the rock is not actually Christ, but the rock is a picture of Christ because he's the source of the water of life, right? Okay, there was another station on top of Will. Other station, please come now. There's a spiritual representation, and then there's a physical. You mentioned the rock. There was a time that he struck the rock, and they did drink from it. And that's nothing that Moses did. That's something that Jesus did. And so all of these things that we're looking at here, when we read them, we can almost take them one at a time and go, okay, that is spiritual significance. And, of course, that's what we see the New Testament authors doing, right? They're forever quoting the Old Testament and saying, oh, this is a fulfillment of that. And so that's what authorizes us then to see Christ and salvation and all these other things in these Old Testament people, events, and circumstances. A good comment there, Mark. Thank you for that. All right, other comments, please come down. suggesting is that we take that information and digest it and use it, and then go back and look at the reality of what it was, because there was a reality, like I say, in the story of David and Goliath, David actually did kill Goliath, and God actually did work in his life, and those are physical things, so to grasp both at the same time, to hold them in both hands, and have him, that can teach us. So that's my basic point there. Back to you, Matt. Thank you for that clarification and sharpening of that point. Appreciate that. Yeah, so what Mark is saying is that these Old Testament stories are real stories. They actually happened. And so we can draw lessons out of the real story, and then on top of that we can draw spiritual lessons out of those stories as well that echo truths in the New Testament. So we have a double thing going on there, genuine, real, historical events. They're all by themselves. Teach us good lessons. And then of course on top of that we have the foreshadowing of New Testament truths as well. Mark, thanks for that clarification. I think I heard David, KK7PDI in there. David, go ahead. Yeah, I just wanted to comment on Earth 6 for a minute here as well. When it says now these things became our example to the intent that We should not lust after evil things as they are corrupted. The Old Testament, obviously, was a tutor to bring us to Christ. And to make us understand all these things, Jesus was there all through the Old Testament. From the beginning of Genesis to Revelation, the entire Bible is about Jesus. I would like to point out one thing here, Max, real quickly. And that is what Jesus said to the Pharisees in Matthew 22, verses 41 and 42. While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, Say, what do you think about the Christ? "Whose son is he?" And they said to him, "The son of David." Now imagine that. The Christ ascended before them, and he's asking them the question, "What do you think of the Christ?" This is such a dangerous answer that they gave. And when you imagine being asked the question, so dangerous, so radical, that answering it truthfully would cost you your life. Every year, thousands of Christians around this world, in the world we live today, Max, are persecuted, even executed, for their confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. I want to remind, just for knowledge purposes, of history here, modern day. In 2002, six believers in Pakistan were taken by gunmen, bound, ganged, and shot, all because they affirmed their belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. So the question cost them their lives. And this is the same question all of us are asked today, and religious leaders are asked of this day. What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he? They gave a cello after they sent the son of David. They didn't see him as divine. God incarnate that was with us as we read in John, the first chapter, verse 14. Amen. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Back to you, Max. See you in a little bit, Papa. God bless you. Yeah, thank you, David, for that. You're exactly right. You know, there are many people who will kill you if you confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is the Son of David. He's a physical descendant of David through Mary. we might have hope. And the wonderful hope in this passage is in verse 13. No temptation has overtaken you, but such as is common to man. And God is faithful and who will not allow you to be tempted beyond that you are able to. And David, just a few weeks ago, shared with us around this table the importance and the correlation between if you were just a one-Sunday guy, you didn't grow. But then as you spent more and more time in the Word each and every day reading, praying, attending Bible studies, The word picture that I was sharing of what it takes to be successful in the world in the hunting situation, that's what it takes. You're all in. The same thing applies to your spiritual walk today there, Max. And 7 MPH. Amen, Scott. So well said. Spiritual fitness is an ongoing process. And, you know, you could have been super physically fit, you know, when you were 27, as Scott was saying. But now here you are, 67, and because of lack of exercise and those kind of things... the world, talking about those of the world, hate you because you represent Christ. But if you speak God's word, it will remain just as His word remains today. Jesus' word remains. When you speak His word, it will remain. He gives us that confidence and that assurance that the word will continue. It will not go out vain. It will come back to the purpose It was mentioned. Teal, Teal 7, Papa Delphi, and you're back, you're back. Thank you, David. Great comment and well said. You know, it's so important for us to stay connected and close to Christ. You know, as you said, without Him, we can do nothing. So we have to maintain that connection, that communication, that fellowship with Jesus. that gives us the strength to stand against the world, because as you well said, the world is no friend of ours. All right, before we get to Kevin, I want to acknowledge J.R., K6LBP. J.R., thank you for checking in on the SDR. And also Dave, KE7WKI. Dave, see you there on Utah. Thank you for being there as well. All right, over to Kevin, KB7ZXN. Good morning, Kevin. Go ahead. Well, good morning, Max and everyone, KB7ZXN. And very good comments. Just a couple of quick. thoughts here. One just, what is in the Old Testament concealed is in the New Testament revealed. I think some of what's been said, but there's been some great comments here. And one of the principles that Paul really is focusing on here is that with the great privilege comes responsibility as well. And with that privilege comes responsibility as does not guarantee faithfulness. As in Egypt, you know, they had the great privilege and the rescue from Egypt, and you articulated those symbolisms and representations well in Christ leading them out. But it still took them to take action to go forward and to trust God. Well, in like manner for believers, you know, we have the blessing that we've been saved from of our sins by grace, it is still our responsibility to persevere in faith. And so with that great privilege we have as Israel had, we still also have the same responsibility to go forward in faith and trust God. KB7, go ahead again. Yeah, Kevin, well said. Appreciate that. They had great spiritual privileges, and so they also had great spiritual responsibilities. And, you know, we can start out well like they did, but then as they went down the road, many of them fell away. I wanted to go back to Scott's comment about connecting this baptism to Moses in verse 2 with Joshua chapter 4. Now, there was an initial baptism when they went through the Red Sea. And then as Scott pointed out, there was a second baptism when they went down through the Jordan River and up into the Promised Land under Joshua. Well, the reason for that is because they turned over an entire generation of people. Joshua and Caleb were the only ones left alive of those who initially came out of Egypt, because they all fell in the wilderness, and a new generation grew up. They hadn't experienced that baptism. And so that's the reason why there was a second baptism. picture, if you will, of baptism, of them going through the Jordan River, because there was a new generation. And the new generation couldn't go on the old generation's experience of salvation and baptism. And so that new generation needed to recommit. That's why Deuteronomy, which is the second giving of the law, had so much repetition in it from Exodus. And that's why they had to go down through the Jordan River and then back about, because there was a new generation. They needed a new salvation. They needed new baptism. And so the point is that kids can't ride on their parents' salvation. They've got to get their own, and they've got to have their own experience in that regard. So, Scott, that was a good illustration of the need for each generation to have their own personal salvation. salvation experience and their own personal baptism. All right, we are about out of time. This is a wonderful passage. There's a lot here. And, you know, as you go back and read the stories about these incidents that Paul refers to here in verse 6 and 7 and 8 and 9 and 10, these are all individual Old Testament stories. If you look at your center column reference, you'll be able to go back and read about what Paul's referring to here. And so here the people of God had great privileges, but they fell into great sins because they didn't keep up, as David KK7PDI said, their spiritual disciplines, their connection with Christ, and their humble renewal of the pursuit of the means of grace every single day. All right. Are there any final prayer requests before anybody, before Scott leads us in prayer? Please come down with your prayer request. Quick follow-up. Follow-up, go ahead. Yeah, KD7, Zedixin. I'm just going to say, you know, the picture here is this, you know, someone rescued from drowning in the water but refuses to swim to shore. You know, when we are saved and rescued from sin, we still have the responsibility to act in faith. KD7, Zedixin. Great illustration, Kevin. Thank you for that. Well said. Yep. We can be rescued from drowning, but we still got to swim to the shore. And we can be rescued from sin, but we still got to follow Christ until we get to the shore of heaven, and then we can rest. All right, Scott, in 7 and PA, go ahead and lead us in prayer, please. All right. Let's visualize each one of us around this table. Let's reach out to the one to the left, the one to the right. Let's grab a hand as one unit as we close. Father, it's just so over heartfelt, whelming that I was chosen to lead in this closing prayer. Father, I yield my voice to your thoughts and Father, I just allow that you coming down from the heavens upon this group around this table, that we seek your faith in everything that we do today. When Ed opened up with the opening prayer, Father, he cried out and asked, for a good study. And Father, it's been over way above that. You blessed that. When Ed gave out that partition that you would... grant us a good study. So Father, we come with one voice in closing, thanking you for that, thanking you for this opportunity, this good band, these great discussions coming from every chair around this table, multiple inputs. And Father, we just give you the glory in that. Father, we have come as one voice, lifting Daylene up to you and just praising you, that you have your healing hand upon Daylene. And she is having good healing days. And Father, we give you the glory in that. Father, we are giving you the praise that Louie's mental state is stabilized, and knowing that you can be working in Louie's life in a subtle way. through your guidance of the Holy Spirit and that Louis has found some stabilization. When we come together and lift him up to you, Father, you answer, and now we recognize... you're working and moving and we just thank you Father for that Father we give you praise that it isn't just 2 million Bibles it's 2.5 another 500,000 enough to put a Bible in each one of the members of the military of this nation. And so, Father, we just thank you that this ministry is blooming and blossoming and erupting, and it's answering a call. Father, give Jeff the wisdom to navigate with this. ministry not only Jeff but his team we know that it isn't just Jeff alone but you have the handles on the big wheelhouse and it's a team effort and so Father I just bless every single one that's connected to to this ministry. Father, I give you praise that Jeff is setting down in his busy 100-mile-per-hour life, and he's putting thoughts on paper through pens. Him and others as they begin to write this book. Father, we just give you glory in that. You know, in the opening remarks that each and every one of us have when we come through the door and grab a chair and sit down, Max engages with each and every one of us. You know, it just kept me between the eyes this morning when our brother Glenn, KG7UMW, his wish and what he's looking forward to is that we all will meet in heaven. And I look across the table, and I see Mark, and I see Brian, and I see Ed, and I see George, and I see Carol, and I see Max, and I see Jim, and I see David, you know, all those that are around the table, all of us. Father, are going to be someday together in heaven. That is living water just coming off the solid rock of your foundation like a waterfall. coming down upon us. Oh, how refreshing. How uplifting. Just words that Glenn said to all of us as he come in and sat down in the chair. What beautiful words. Father, we are so thankful. Father, as we have our adversities, Father, we want to lift up George and his diverticulitis, this condition that he has in his stomach and his colon. Everything of it is involved here. Father, we just thank you that you give George wisdom, that he recognized that he needed antibiotics, and we lift George to you this morning. Father, we want to lift up Jade to you and this prostate cancer, and, oh, man, how I can relate. with where Jay is at in this process. Father, give wisdom to the doctors, just like you gave wisdom to the doctors that attended me and the prayer warriors. Father, we recognize that in my flock that you were the great physician and many, many, many, those of you that surround this table this morning, not only the West Coast table, but the Midwest table as well, throughout different churches, different synagogues, all reaching out and asking. Father, we're praying in the same regard for Jay as he starts down this path. Father, give him a spiritual peaceness that he can recognize that you are in full control. Father, we want to lift up a dale to you. It's been a real rough ride. this last month through peaks and valleys on top of the waves and then down in the trough. This is such a life. And Father, I just pray that Dale gave his heart to you just a few weeks ago. That this is graduation day. This is what it's all about. And so, Father, I pray that Dale and Mike and Sherry, the whole family, can be icons for your gospel, and that Barbara can be touched that she can give her life over she's been wandering in the wilderness so Father we lift up Dale to you this morning Father As we turn to the big list, we lift up Amy to you, that we've been praying with this breast cancer, and, you know, with five children, and those all rallying around her mother. And, Father, we hear word today from Carol that Amy... is able to have this surgery like they lean on Wednesday. And so, Father, again, I ask for wisdom for the doctors just in the same regard as Jay's prostate cancer. Father, we lift up Amy to you. And, Father, I just encourage all those that are around the table to be lifting up Amy not only today and tomorrow, but Wednesday as well. And, Father, we just pray for a physically rewarding outcome that she can be mom and teaching spiritual things to these young minds. Father when we spoke to Mike earlier we also want to lift up and I spoke of Sherry I want to lift up Sherry to you as their identity was stolen just the the quicksand that we sink into trying to navigate, trying to get out of these situations. Father, we pray that this problem will properly be resolved. Father, we want to lift up candy to you now in the mission field. And as doctors preparing to go to the mission field, Father, we want to lift up candy to you. And we just pray that... this opportunity of ministry to those that cannot hear, especially, that this will bring fruit. Father, we want to lift up John to you today as... He has a treatment today, and we're sitting on the edge of our bleachers for this report. Father, we cry out. We come to you with boldness. We come with you with confidence, crying out that this report will be one that will bring sweet music to our ears. Father, we also want to lift up Jerry to you with this cough that she's experiencing and this path of partaking in prednisone. Father, we just pray that this will be a short adventure and that Jerry's cough can dissipate and John can have strength. Father, we pray for Max's friend, Rick, as he continues down this path of cancer. And, Father, we just pray that this therapy treatment can right his ship, that this choppy water can bring a calmness. And, Father, we pray that his appetite will return, that somebody will come along and purchase his business, take the stress out of his life. Father, I looked up my cousin Mark, who is currently in the Anderson Medical Center in Houston, Texas. Father, I pray that as he returns to the spiritual life that he grew up in, that, Father, he will no longer... walk silent in the wilderness but shout from the mountaintop of your goodness and grace and kindness Father we want to lift up I spoke of DACA earlier but I want to turn and pray for his wife Marlies and her health concerns. Father, as he prepares in the office this morning, preparing for this upcoming mission trip that Marlies' health issues can be taken care of, and the organization of this medical mission will all fit into place. Father, we want to thank you in closing of your goodness, your mercy, and your grace. Father, we just once again thank you for your son Jesus. This shared blood that was poured out for each and every one of us. that we are so undeserving. And what this allows us to do is like Glenn pointed out, all of us will be able to come together again in heaven, just like we come together each and every day around this table. Father, these are our prayers, petitions what's on our heart, we give you the glory and it all comes through this shed blood, in Jesus name we pray, and all of us together say, Amen back there to you, man WB7MAX and 7PA Scott, thank you so much for the prayer and leading us to the throne of grace. And may the Lord be pleased to answer every one of those requests and grant us the desires of our heart. All right, this is WB7MAX, Net Control for the West Coast Bible Study. I want to thank all the stations who checked in this morning, as well as those who stood by to give us a clear operating frequency. We meet here seven days a week at 6 a.m. in order to read the scriptures, understand their meaning message and application, and then to pray for grace and mercy to live out what we learn. and for God to meet the needs of those that are in our circle of fellowship. I'll be returning this frequency now to regular amateur use. This is WB7MAX. I'll be clear and standing by. KB7, is that a consent? KB7, is that a consent? Go ahead, Kevin. Hey, good morning again, Max. Did something happen with Glenn that maybe I missed something? No. Yeah, negative. Glenn, KJ7UMW, everything's fine with him. We finally were able to talk to him because the band's been so bad, Kevin, the last few days that it's been really tough to communicate with Glenn. And so anyway, we had a good connection today. And he said no new prayer requests, just continue to pray for he and Vicki and their chronic pain. And he wished us all fair winds and following seas. So I think everything's okay there. Kevin, back to you. well that's terrific okay well very good well i wasn't sure there so okay thank you kb7 is that okay km5f uh km5f will go ahead yeah part of the reason for the ban is there's been yesterday there's been a group right under us and there was another group that were uh Yeah, well, thanks for that explanation. Appreciate that. Yeah, when you've got QRN and QRM both, that creates issues for sure. But I'm glad they moved a few more kilohertz away. As I was taught, two and a half should be a minimum. Will, thanks for that analysis and that explanation. That's very helpful to me. Much appreciated, Will. Keelmike 5F, WB7MAX. KJ7PVT. Mark, KJ7PVT, go ahead. When I'm listening, today I've been able to hear you and many others on my radio alone, but there are some that I can't hear, and so I hear CFDR like everybody else. I wanted to mention something that might be helpful. I found that when I get crowded many times in my area by people that are close by as well, and what I've been able to do, and maybe you guys already know this, so this is old news, but I found that on the FDR, you can change the size of what you're accepting there on the FDR. You can shrink it or move it or change it. You can move one end over or away. Get yourself away from that noise and you'll go right away. And you can also change the antenna in your ear or you can extend each side individually or you can also change the center position and those -- you can have the way to know if it's still here. Our group will just find data that's going to be easy. Mark, thanks for that technical advice. Much appreciated. Yeah, Mark was saying on the SDRs we can change the bandwidth. that we receive. I think it's set at 2.5, but we can bring it down to like 1.75 and filter out stations above and below our frequencies. We can also change where the center of that listening point is. So, yes, the SDRs are amazing in terms of not only overcoming noise, but also filtering out all the frequencies except just the one you want to hear. So, Mark, thanks for that advice. That's very helpful. Okay, other comments? Please come down. Hello, Keeley Mike 5 Fox, go ahead. Yeah, another thing just for your information is that you and, you, Roger and Beck have a lot of splatter sometimes and maybe a couple or three kilohertz on either side of us. Maybe Scott can help you clean that up. I don't see it on the Utah SDR or on my radio IC7300, but I do see it on the Mazula SDR, it really shows up, splatter. James, on that. James West: Yeah, thanks, Will, for that. I don't know what to do about splatter. I have my signal WIC set at 2.4 kilohertz, and -- well, it's at 2.5. And so I think, you know, if my radio is not doing its job, of maintaining that, then I'm not sure how to deal with that. But yeah, here's my width of my signal, yeah, 2,400 kilohertz, 2.5 kilohertz, pardon me, 2,400 hertz. So Will, give me some advice about splatter, what that's about and how I should deal with it, over. - Well, I don't know what to do about it, but I thought Scott might be able to help on that. 'Cause his signal is always clean and so is Kevin's. Okay, yeah, well I'll have a discussion with that about Scott on the phone and we'll go from there. I think we also, you know, I lost my train of thought, I was reading the text message Too much compression? Okay, thank you for that. Who am I talking to? Kilo, Charlie 7, Romeo, Juliet, Kilo. Okay, good. Let's see, I got Kilo, Charlie 7, Romeo, Juliet, is that correct? Kilo, Charlie 7, Romeo, Juliet, Kilo. could give you some more information. It's just a really good signal. Honestly, the clarity and the fidelity is much better now than it was. Compression can honestly be different depending upon what kind of radio, but honestly, I like your words being heard far and loud. All right. Well, thank you for that. I appreciate that. And thanks for the advice. I'm not a highly experienced ham operator, and I'm always ready to be taught and instructed regarding the technical aspects. So I really appreciate you piping up here. I do have my mic turned down. I'm holding it further away from my face. And any other advice anybody else wants to give KT7RJK, thank you for that. WB7MX is listening. Bob Alpha. Bob Alpha, Scott, go ahead. Yeah, good to hear your voice there, Ross. Ross, I know here -- oh, shoot. Last spring or sometime, I, well that was on the tower. So I guess that's not gonna work. Anyway, I just wanna share with you, Ross, I'll be at the ears club on the 17th of February, but it'll be a different topic. It'll be the ORC topic. But appreciate you reaching out this morning and you're very encouraging to me. Max, the mic gain and compression are different. It's kind of like -- how can I put this?
