Propagation a little better. K=0, A=2, Flux=89
0600z - 0630z Anzo Net on 7,115.
Many thanks to Peter/VK3KCD for this report :_
Good morning Bill
The 7115 KHz ANZO net commenced at 0600z with Noel VK2IWT, Peter VK3FPSR, Bill VK4ZD and myself. All stations could copy each other but there was no propagation to ZL this week. Apart from a severe thunderstorm in the Melbourne region at the time of the net propagation was more favourable at the later time.
Yir Peter VK3KCD
And to Pertti/EA7GSU for this report :-
... from European angle:
0600 Russian net strong on 7115kHz but around 0620 I managed to hear
the unmistakable laughter of VK4ZD between the Russian turns!! That is all!!

1322z - Net closed. A very good net in decent conditions for a change.
Jim doing very well despite a rainstorm causing occasional antenna glitches.
Jim is moving back home this week,or next, and will likely be off the air
for two or three weeks while he gets re-organised there.
His big log-periodic has suffered much damage in the ice-storms and
they will have to get a new temporary antenna installed and tested.
We look forward to hearing you again Jim !
Great to hear Nate VO1NP again. He reported that his Club had contributed $1,000
to the Honduras "Kids into School" charity.

Messages Received.
From President Pertii :-
Gentlemen and Ladies,
I am afraid we have lost our Editor for the Communicator. Since early September he has been "non-comunicado" in spite of several of us trying to keep in touch with him.
As we do have messages to convey to our members not the least of the reporting of the annual happenings and the approach of the end of the year,
I feel it necessary to ANNOUNCE THE SEARCH for a new candidate to take over the publishing of our Communicator.
It will be a great fun for a person who likes to collect info of us and publish updated info of the ROAR and of the world of ham radio world.
Please do look around to find a member who has been involved with a similar activity or wishes to try it for the first time.
I am sure we will have resources to support anybody wishing to try his/her wings.
Any queries about the job, please contact me.
It would be great fun to work with you!
Pertti EA7GSU President ROAR 2010-2012
