890	9810	Okay, G700W here from Ham Radio Village. It's time to close out the village for this year.
9830	13610	We're going to go open to our Discord voice channel.
13610	19630	We'll get some shout out comments there and we will see you next year. Let's go to Discord.
21670	26990	Everybody in Discord, I guess let's go to Justin first. Justin, what are our stats for
28450	32750	testing this year? All right, well, yeah, no, this year has been a great testing. It's been
32750	40970	great to work with GLARGVC to be able to roll out online testing from Friday, including today,
40970	47290	as well as starting in 30 minutes. So, with day one and day two combined of testing, we had a
47290	54230	total of 33 people either get their call signs or upgrade with a total of 38 elements passed. So,
54230	60730	each element is one upgrade or one license. And we even had one person go from nothing at all to
60730	65910	getting their extra. So, that's fantastic news. And then starting, like I said, in 30 minutes,
65910	70730	we're going to have 72 people taking their Ham Radio license exams, which is just an
70730	75610	amazing amount. And it's great to see so many people signing up for this test session.
77530	82350	Excellent, excellent. What about our contacts, FTA and voice? You got stats on those?
82350	88730	Oh yeah, you know we do. So, we were operating from Wednesday to Saturday at 11.59 p.m.
88730	96990	We were operating underneath the call sign Kilo 3 Kilo K3K. And we made a total of 122,
96990	102790	and then some more as well, confirmed contacts, like you said, on some digital modes like FTA and
102790	107670	on voice as well. Some of the highlights were contacts from New Zealand, Argentina, Greece,
107670	113510	even another special event call sign this weekend, Whiskey H Tango or W8T, which is the
113510	118890	world's largest teapot in West Virginia. So, it was really great to hear all of those who have
118890	125470	made contacts with us throughout the weekend and hope to hear other people this week or next year.
125730	133610	Very cool, very cool. I just want to give a shout out to AIOJ, Eric, organizing everything,
133610	139830	getting everything sorted out for this wonderful village this year. Shout out to all the
139830	146770	presenters, anybody who contributed whatsoever to this year. It's been amazing, especially for
146770	156550	being offline. Oh, I see Eric there. You got any closing remarks, Eric? Yeah, I mean, I think
156550	160990	pretty much everything's been covered. But yeah, again, a solid thank you to all of our presenters,
160990	166670	all of our attendees, of course, YouBlue for, you know, being co-pilot and all this. And,
166670	174130	you know, super, super happy to see both the turnout, quantity and quality of all the content.
174130	177750	And, you know, we're hoping to be back next year, whether it's virtual or in person remains to be
177750	182450	seen, of course. But either way, I want to have at least twice as much content next year. So,
182450	186470	got some high expectations, but I'm pretty confident in our group that we can get it done.
186470	192370	And thanks, everybody. Thank you, everybody. Anybody have any closing shout outs before
192370	200410	we conclude for the year? I would say thank you for the Goons to making this event such a success,
200410	205110	especially having a guest that kind of learn a lot because it's their first time going online.
205110	213720	But yeah, thanks to the entire Goon Squad. Very cool. Very cool. I was just amazed by the talks
213720	221020	this year. We had everything from satellite operation to the ultimate van life. I want a
221020	228280	van now. I want a news van and definitely radio telegrams. That is just a cool new world for me.
229620	237400	So definitely shout out to everyone, though. And I guess seven threes. We're wrapping for the year.
238420	243920	AIG7OOW is clear. Unless anyone else got some comments as we close out.
246800	248360	AI0J clear.
249880	252140	There we go. Thanks again, everybody.
