From Tom Burns/KN9H

We are in preliminary stages of planning a trip to southern England  the
last two weeks of June. I will carry Icom 706Mark11 I used to check into the
Rotary net from Germany last August and will plan to check into the nets
portable from UK. Any UK Rotary activities of interest during that period?
Tom Burns, KN9H  ( Mary Ellen Burns KA9JNZ)

(Hi Tom,  look for our UK 80-metre nets on about 3,692 at 0900 and 1900

UK time on Sundays, also the "spanish" net of David EA5ALK on Fridays

at 1000 UK time on 14,285 approx.)

 

From Douglas/ZL1BFS

I have not been on the net yet - I need to get a few things in order first.,

but I hope to get on soon.

Apologies from Sam/ZL1AOE.  Sam is not very well but still carrying on his

duties as our club secretary and still doing his e-mail but not able to get

on the radio.

(Thanks Douglas and Best Wishes from us all to Sam for a good recovery
