Roar Nets August 13 2006
Apologies for late service. I was enjoying a
Golden Wedding celebration in France last weekend but I see I missed a good
opening on 20m.
0630z - 0730z Europe - Anzo Net on 14,293
Long Path.
Thanks to Klaus for the following report. : -
Greatings Bill,
Not a big attendance on this Sunday morning,
but for once an opening to VK-land.
Agreed with Brian that I should send you
this report.
06:24z VK4ZD/P, Bill. Initially 33, but
fairly quickly increasing to 55 and topping at 57. Left us again for a
VK contest
06:25z VK2GWK, Henk. Started at 57 and
stayed close to 57 for almost half an hour.
06:42z G3LUW, Brian, acting net
controller. 59, fine signal. A bit too early for the VKs, but Brian
managed later.
06:50z GW4KVJ, John, near Cardiff. 57,
good copy. As always very patient with me when I try to assist the net
controller.
06:55z CT/AD6XX, Laszlo. 44 at best, even
though I was beaming long path towards VK. Glad to report that Laszlo is
steadily improving.
06:56z EA7GSU, Pertti. 22 and never
improving. Brian had to QSP.
07:20z Net closed
I did not attend the International net. I
was not at home at the time.
