Because that war over there is still ongoing, and the offices were destroyed. For the most part, thankfully no one was hurt. But I wanted to make a really short video to talk about this real quick. I found this on the Twitter on their X page X. You call it X, I call it Twitter. I still call it twitter. I just do. That's just
what I call it. I call it Twitter. This is from the X account at rig Expert. I will link this in the description below. Follow back I thought I did follow them? Want to do no? Okay, came across my feed. Whether I follow them or not, they follow me. Today our administrative office was destroyed by Russian ballistic missile. The good news, our entire team is safe, So that's really good right there. Despite the challenges, we remain committed
to delivering our products and minimizing any delays. And there is a picture right there, that's a devastating picture right there about what those administrative offices look like. It looks like there's a bunch of computer monitors and keyboards hanging from the ceiling. Ouch. Look at that. So a lot of really good responses here. You're welcome to restart your company in Portugal. That would be fun. Restarting in another country would be fun. Okay, thank god you're all okay,
terrible news. Glad to hear your team is okay. Amsat replied, sorry to hear this. Please rebuild Slava Ukraine. Slava UKRAINI I don't know what that means, but yeah, long live Ukraine. Probably terrible. Glad to hear all staff are well. A lot of good reports and replies to this Twitter post. And you guys might remember I had rig expert on the channel. This video was from two years ago. Actually, several of them joined my zoom channel. We did it a This was shortly after the it wasn't too long.
I don't remember exactly how long it was. It wasn't too long after the war in between Ukraine and Russia started, the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, I should call it the invasion of Ukukraine by Russian troops and Russian forces. And they wanted to talk about kind of the state of things, how they were and that kind of thing. And at the time they were all safe and all fine, and their factory was still going. But that was two years ago. So very grateful to these guys for allowing
me to interview them back then. I have sent them an email. I sent them an email last night. I sent them another email this morning. I'm saying, hey, guys, any information you can share would be appreciated. I can share it with my audience and share it with you guys. So hopefully I'll have an update to this very short video coming up real soon. In the discrete ription of this video, down here there are iban that's what they
called it. They called it. If you go down here, you say donation accounts, I ban iba in for US dollars and for European dollars. Iban accounts right there, please for the purpose of payment indicate donations for rig Expert. This right there in the description of that video. I'll link that video in this video you're watching right now. However, I don't know if those accounts are still active. That's one of the questions I was going to ask them when I reached out to them. So I don't know
what an IBAN account is. I'm not real sure what that is, but we talked about it two years ago, and I just can't I just can't seem to recall. I can tell you right now now this is a little bit might seem a little self serving, but if you don't want to buy from here, then buy from wherever you want to Rig Expert. Supporting rig Expert means buying their products. It just does. And I can tell you can say five percent at gigaparts with the link in the description. Blow on all the rig Expert products
on this page. Lots of analyzers, their brand new shack Master Power supply, the new Phobos SDR. In fact, the post before for this one, if we go back here, is about their Phobos SDR receiver. This right here, PHOBOSSDR software, recent PHOBOSSDR firmware and software upstates right here. I actually have that product. I have that product. They send it to me. I did a video about it. It's been edited,

Really cool SDR scanning software for the purposes of the purposes of shortwave listening and whatnot. But nevertheless, purchasing rig Expert products keeps them in business and keeps them going. If you don't want to buy from my page, which isn't affiliate link, you can save five percent with
case five HIBB code. Go buy rig Expert from ham radio outlet, from RNL, from a main trading company, Go buy it from wherever you want to buy it from. I think even I'm not mistaken by Two Way Radios has it too.

That's a good way to support their business is by purchasing their more updates to come soon.
