There's not me.

Right there, one of them?

Everybody you're watching that, Yeah, I'm watching it here.

Oh yeah there's a delay.

Yeah it was a little bit.

It's always a delay.

Hashtag no a p r S. If I wanted to talk about that, I was invited Mike instead of Jason.

Myself. You know what, You know what that brings me to, Hey, help yourself, buddy.

That that brings up a really great topic that we were talking about earlier about.

A p r S.

That's and I think that you have like some new information about it, a pr S, some.

Sort of new firmware or something.

So actually you sparked this, I did, no, no, no, no, no. You sparked the original idea three or four months ago.

Okay. You sent me a text message.

Or an APRS message or something. I can't remember exactly why.

Okay, And you were asking for specific information. Yes, I knew I'd covered it in a video, but I didn't have that link just handy, okay, And I should have had that handy Okay.

That was a fail on my part.

So I decided to create a basic little website just with.

Some links on it, all about a pr S.

Okay.

So that way people could just go to one spot.

They'd get links to videos, they could get links to the APRS Foundation.

It's just a good general spot.

Links to download in a seven Q version. I'm pretty sure that's on it.

I can add it now.

I'm sure you put it on there, because I've got a starting point.

Where I ran into a problem was when I tried to get a domain name. So domain names are well, they're a bit hard to come by. Yeah, I mean, it's twenty twenty six. We've been buying domain names for what thirty years.

Something like that.

Yeah, so that was a tough one, and you definitely want something that's memorable.

Yes, absolutely so I.

Thought about this for days, Okay.

Finally, leaning in bed one night, it hit me as to what this website should be called. Okay, and this was so good. I mean, don't I don't want to too my own horn, but this was so good that I decided to make stickers to commemorate the announcement of this brand new website.

And we're announcing this on your channel right now, live right here on your two Yeah.

So the domain name is K eight MRD is wrong dot com dot com. Yeah, and we have stickers to commemorate it, so we should be easy for everybody to remember this.

Quotes told me simple to remember that.

I mean, you know what, I went and checked that out as soon as you told me about it the first time.

For everybody.

Yeah, here, Mike, there's a brand new sticker for you here, brandy sticker.

Here, here you go.

All your sticker is not good enough, Mike. We want you to have a button too, So a pr stupid.

So you can.

You can go you can go to k mr D Israel dot com and get useful.

A p R information.

It's it's been out there for for a few weeks, so go to it right now because it's there.

All right.

So I've got a very limited number of buttons. Obviously Mike doesn't want one. But if you're here this.

Weekend and you stop being asked for a button, I will give them out freely until they're gone.

Great.

Somebody says the website's timing out because it's getting.

Hammered right now.

Aprs can't handle all the traffic, but it's not reliable.

So oh yeah, you need to keep that wearing it.

If you don't have a cell phone signal, you can send missage.

That's true, you can how long you get it, but you can send one.

Nobody. I want to stick it.

I want to stick it.

I'll be giving stickers out all week.

Yeah.

This is the official sticker that I brought for him Kasion twenty twenty six.

So if you see me and you want a sticker, you're getting a k m r D. Is wrong.

Shane just shared it in the chat.

Is wrong.

Whatever you defamation your character. You have to have character before you get.

Unlicensed use of mine.

Like now that one.

I could that when I could get on board, Jason, I know a little bit more, a little bit more.

Yeah yeah, make sure you proudly.

Proudly display it.
