Family is everything. Keep them close.

Thank you. It is so true. 73

You are making good choices. Nothing is more important than family. When (or if) you come back, the last thing we need are more radio reviews. There are tons of videos focused on selling people the latest and greatest. I personally would be far more interested in hearing about how you set up the company with radios, the what, way, and how of the process. People have drawers full of radios who don’t have any idea of how to use them. I’d love to hear how you’d integrate radio with the drones aback country search and rescue scenario. It would be interesting to hear how you’d use your radios to communicate on your wilderness trips. Real world stuff working WITH existing structures instead of just preparing for the Zombie apocalypse. Just my suggestions, in case making videos become fun again. In the meantime pie making with your kids seems like an excellent use of the short time we are given here on earth!

Thank you Clyde. You're speaking my mind there. This is what I would like to spend more time doing. I feel like we can have a ton of fun using our radios for everyday, practical means. We should be using our skills to help others figure it out. Should I figure out how to share all that, I will, because, as you've said, we don't need another radio review. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I'll make a note to refer to this again in a few months. - Eric

I just saw this video, so great to see you again Eric ! Family is the most important thing. I look forward to meeting up again.

Thank you Kevin! I've missed our experiments. Once the warmer months arrive I'm hoping to have a bit more time and direction for some radio work. I hope you've been well. I need to check out your new videos still. 73

Thanks for the update Eric. I’m glad you are getting time with family. Those times end too quickly as kids grow up. My suggestion would make a video when it makes sense and when you are having fun doing so. I always loved just seeing the amazing places you’ve been. 73 W1UTE

Thank you David. Family time is precious. I really enjoy sharing the videos and story of operating in the backcountry. Thanks for your thoughts. Meanwhile, I hope you've been out! 73 KI7WJP

Thanks for the update. You are not required to put out x number of videos per week. Live your life and enjoy your family and pop in a video when it makes sense to do so. You are not under contract or compulsion to produce. Thanks for being open about what is going on and I wish you God’s best! Until we see you again, 73!

thank you for this. I guess I feel a bit of responsibility to keep up with it a little bit. I started it and it went somewhere, gained some traction. Thank you for the blessing, stay well. 73, KI7WJP
