There was a black brief type case on the  table where  I had  my carrying cases for my gear and when all helped me carry my equipment back down I wasn't paying  attention and Herb grabbed a case  that was already on the table and when we go to the car he handed it to and then I realized where it came from so Herb was gracious  and took it back to the table where it came from.

I had good DSTAR  mobile contact  with Phil all the way home using his hotspot .
