This Ranger 3, I was trying to get in touch with operations out here at Oxford Street.
01:40
Go ahead, Ranger 3.
01:44
Yeah, so, again, I'm still working on Nive resources.
01:50
Also, I'd like to try to work out at some point getting a drone out here with infrared capabilities to fly over this line.
02:00
I understand you're still working on your resources for NIDOX and you're requesting a drone.
02:08
Out of fire, it was kind of large.

You choke, Russell, 2.

May not have any, have to worry about any night ops.
02:22
I didn't realize they were making that progress, but they say that they're knocking it out real quick after aviation got here.
02:30
And I do believe aviation may be done for the night.
02:35
But don't hold me to that on the night ops.
02:38
That's one thing we're going to have to figure out.
02:40
We'll use that drone to see how many hot spots that we got that might be a issue.
02:46
But, yeah, I'll get to the bottom of the night ops and get a confirmation on that once we do some more looking around.
02:56
I went direct with command.
02:58
He's going to fly our drone and we will give you a report.

You're mainly looking for the hotspots, correct?

Light firm.

I was checking to see if you had any luck with Charter.
03:57
We've got it for much of the three out of the roadway itself.

However, there's still a pretty good set of a lot that's wrapped through their cable, which has it pulled down from three foot in the air,
04:09
making it impact.
04:10
So I was kind of check to see what you got on it.
04:23
There's somebody out with this.
