8
00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.039
<v Speaker 1>sign up today and thank you for the support. Yesterday,

9
00:00:29.399 --> 00:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>the rig Expert offices in Ukraine, the administrative offices were

10
00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>bombed by a Russian attack. Because that war over there

11
00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:41.039
<v Speaker 1>is still ongoing, and the offices were destroyed. For the

12
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.039
<v Speaker 1>most part, thankfully no one was hurt. But I wanted

13
00:00:44.079 --> 00:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>to make a really short video to talk about this

14
00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:53.240
<v Speaker 1>real quick. I found this on the Twitter on their

15
00:00:53.600 --> 00:00:55.719
<v Speaker 1>X page X. You call it X, I call it Twitter.

16
00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 1>I still call it twitter. I just do. That's just

17
00:00:57.479 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>what I call it. I call it Twitter. This is

18
00:00:59.520 --> 00:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>from the X account at rig Expert. I will link

19
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>this in the description below. Follow back I thought I

20
00:01:05.439 --> 00:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>did follow them? Want to do no? Okay, came across

21
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 1>my feed. Whether I follow them or not, they follow me.

22
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:15.560
<v Speaker 1>Today our administrative office was destroyed by Russian ballistic missile.

23
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 1>The good news, our entire team is safe, So that's

24
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>really good right there. Despite the challenges, we remain committed

25
00:01:20.879 --> 00:01:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to delivering our products and minimizing any delays. And there

26
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>is a picture right there, that's a devastating picture right

27
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>there about what those administrative offices look like. It looks

28
00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>like there's a bunch of computer monitors and keyboards hanging

29
00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.000
<v Speaker 1>from the ceiling. Ouch. Look at that. So a lot

30
00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:39.040
<v Speaker 1>of really good responses here. You're welcome to restart your

31
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 1>company in Portugal. That would be fun. Restarting in another

32
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.400
<v Speaker 1>country would be fun. Okay, thank god you're all okay,

33
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:49.560
<v Speaker 1>terrible news. Glad to hear your team is okay. Amsat replied,

00:02:00.680 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of good reports and replies to this Twitter post.

38
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.879
<v Speaker 1>And you guys might remember I had rig expert on

39
00:02:08.319 --> 00:02:11.759
<v Speaker 1>the channel. This video was from two years ago. Actually,

40
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>several of them joined my zoom channel. We did it

41
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:17.319
<v Speaker 1>a This was shortly after the it wasn't too long.

42
00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:19.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember exactly how long it was. It wasn't

43
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:23.520
<v Speaker 1>too long after the war in between Ukraine and Russia started,

44
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:26.199
<v Speaker 1>the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, I should call it

45
00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the invasion of Ukukraine by Russian troops and Russian forces.

46
00:02:30.159 --> 00:02:31.919
<v Speaker 1>And they wanted to talk about kind of the state

47
00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:33.400
<v Speaker 1>of things, how they were and that kind of thing.

48
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:35.159
<v Speaker 1>And at the time they were all safe and all fine,

49
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:37.319
<v Speaker 1>and their factory was still going. But that was two

50
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 1>years ago. So very grateful to these guys for allowing

51
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.759
<v Speaker 1>me to interview them back then. I have sent them

52
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>an email. I sent them an email last night. I

53
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 1>sent them another email this morning. I'm saying, hey, guys,

54
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 1>any information you can share would be appreciated. I can

55
00:02:52.599 --> 00:02:54.199
<v Speaker 1>share it with my audience and share it with you guys.

56
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 1>So hopefully I'll have an update to this very short

57
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:00.639
<v Speaker 1>video coming up real soon. In the discrete ription of

58
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.439
<v Speaker 1>this video, down here there are iban that's what they

59
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>called it. They called it. If you go down here,

60
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:09.439
<v Speaker 1>you say donation accounts, I ban iba in for US

61
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:13.560
<v Speaker 1>dollars and for European dollars. Iban accounts right there, please

64
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>link that video in this video you're watching right now. However,

65
00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if those accounts are still active. That's

66
00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>one of the questions I was going to ask them

67
00:03:24.879 --> 00:03:26.639
<v Speaker 1>when I reached out to them. So I don't know

68
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.879
<v Speaker 1>what an IBAN account is. I'm not real sure what

69
00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 1>that is, but we talked about it two years ago,

70
00:03:30.759 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>and I just can't I just can't seem to recall.

71
00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you right now now this is a

72
00:03:34.680 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>little bit might seem a little self serving, but if

73
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:39.280
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to buy from here, then buy from

74
00:03:39.479 --> 00:03:43.400

75
00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:46.120
<v Speaker 1>buying their products. It just does. And I can tell

76
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.560

80
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:01.680
<v Speaker 1>post before for this one, if we go back here,

81
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.919
<v Speaker 1>is about their Phobos SDR receiver. This right here, PHOBOSSDR software,

82
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.159
<v Speaker 1>recent PHOBOSSDR firmware and software upstates right here. I actually

83
00:04:11.199 --> 00:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>have that product. I have that product. They send it

84
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 1>to me. I did a video about it. It's been edited,

85
00:04:15.719 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 1>it will be uploaded. I'm gonna upload that today, actually

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:28.240

<v Speaker 1>buy it from wherever you want to buy it from.

95
00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.720
<v Speaker 1>I think even I'm not mistaken by Two Way Radios

96
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:49.839
<v Speaker 1>has it too. There are several websites out there where

97
00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>you can purchase rig Expert products if you ever, if

98
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 1>you've been looking at something like that, that is just

99
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.199
<v Speaker 1>they're a business. That's a good way to support their

100
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>business is by purchasing their more updates to come soon.

101
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Hopefully after I talk to these guys, if I can

102
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.519
<v Speaker 1>get them back on the channel, I will certainly do that.

103
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>So everyone keep rig expert in your thoughts and prayers.

104
00:05:10.040 --> 00:05:12.959
