G8PZT was seen on WhatsPack talking about coding Zork for her node

There was also some discussion about nodes broadcasts which recommended
the use of "N " to find out which node reported the node
with to your node.

-- Space!
Everyone was very excited about the Artemis II mission to the moon.
GM0CQV recounted watching the first moon landing on TV.

Less pleasingly MM0UHR reported meeting a small child moon landing
denier, but talked about how science communication skills helped.

The BBC has a "13 minutes to the moon" podcast all about space missions
including Artemis.

Brendan has hired some self-storage for some of his stuff and he is
well pleased with the QR code based cataloguing system.

MM0UHR was trying out the 160m band with no joy. It seemed the band was
closed rather than his radio having issues.

GM0NRT was watching TechNow and Click on the BBC with interest in 3d
printing a laser cutting.
