"(Glad that we managed to have a

afternoon.
Jim is really doing a fine job
as net controller on the US east
coast. I admire him greatly)
Here is what the ANZO net looked
like in Switzerland this
Sunday------------
At start-up there was heavy QRM
from an ongoing QSO around 14.291
and from a teleprinter-station.
0633z - VK2IWT Noel answered my CQ
RI net call. Gave him 33. The QRM
was overwhelming.
0638z - VK5CV Bill overriding the
QRM. 57 / 55. When net came to an
end Bill was 54.
0647z - VK4KYL Diane. 59 / 59.
Fine signal. Diane was able to
work some UK-stations.
0711z - G4YZE Bill. Only 33
and not improving.
0720z - OH6SM Martti called in
briefly. Marti was unable to work
the VK and UK stations.
0728z - G3LUW Brian 44 here.
0730z - Silence
0731z - Called Martti, OH6SM, and
had a fine 59 / 59 QSO.
0742z - Signed-off with Martti
Correction: Martti is still
using his old tower. Last Sunday I
heard Martti discussing the new
tower.
However, it will be Bill, VK4ZD,
and Diane, VK4KYL, who will be
benefiting from the new tower.
I apologize for the mistake.

From Secretary Noel VK2IWT. : -
"Thanks Bill for the net reports.
They tell me what I am missing. I
think the band may be improving as I
heard stations down
in the bottom region of 20 metres
about 0000Z this morning. (Saturday)
Please pass this info on to
interested parties that my daughter
in California is moving so I
will have a new address for those in
the northern hemisphere for snail
mail. When I get all
the details I will forward them to
you.
I do miss the net. 73 Noel."
