Bill VK4ZD is looking forward to receiving a GSE team from Korea.
Bill also reported the linking from RI web site to Roar web site has
been completed.
(Look on
www.rotary.org/ -
click "R.I.Programs" - then "Rotary Fellowships" -
then "Complete list of Fellowships" - then "Amateur Radio")
This takes visitors on to our web site which, as all Roar members
know, is
www.ifroar.org
The reverse links from our web site to the R.I. and R.I.B.I. sites
also work alright.
The RIBI web site shows some Roar details but no link to our site.
It needs fixing !

I occasionally listen briefly for this net but usually hear nothing
at readable level.
This night about 1815z I heard Jim/W1QUO 5/6, Nate/VO1NP 4/5,
Bob/WB7RQG 5/7 and Jack/KF5BD 5/8.
I did not call as they were very busy but it sounded viable. Great
propagation !
1900z - 2000z UK evening 80-metre net on 3697
Eight on the net in rather noisy conditions.
Lots of long skip propagation bringing in much Euro-qrm.
We had to give up after half an hour of increasing qrm.
