0500z - 0530z - Anzo Net on 7,115
Thanks to Klaus for the following relay :-
Peter and Bill (ZD) had a good chat on
0530z - 0700z Europe - Anzo Net on 14,293 Long Path.
Greetings Bill,
Started listening at 05:30z but this Sunday morning to no avail. As time moved on I got more and more convinced that all the regular VKs and ZLs were absent. Then with a delay of 50 minutes relative to last Sunday, the VKs started coming in. The Scandinavian Contest was on and OH8X was operating on 14293 with a 59+ signal. When he heard that I had a schedule with VK friends, he did not hesitate to QSY!!! Peter was calling me at the time. 06:27z VK3KCD, Peter. 54 here, quickly improving to 59 both ways. Peter again used his spider beam. 06:30z VK4ZD, Bill. 54 when initially heard. Got a 53, but Bill then faded out and there was no second peak. 06:36z VK2GWK, Henk. 57 here. Got 55 - 57. The SteppIR plus Emtron linear is a fine combination. 06:52z EA7GSU, Pertti. Mostly 59 both ways. 06:55z PA3AHC, Malcolm. No copy here, but Malcolm got a Q5 from Peter. 07:05z G4YZE, Bill from 07:27z Net closed 73 Klaus, HB9CQS

1800z - 1830z N.AM. Transcontinental Net on 14,288
Many thanks to Treasurer Bob for the following report :-
Hi Bill, I was net control today. Had to move the net to 14.290 because of QRM.
Checkins were; Jack KF5BD, Joe W0TBC, Jim W1QUO
and Pertti EA7GSU by CW by Joe W0TBC. Signals still not good.
YIR 73, Bob WB7RQG
And to Pertti for this report :-
Hello Bill,
I was there 10 min late but the band was like a beehive, full of
splatters. Probably because of those new countries filling the frequencies. BUT... I called on CW and got an answer from W0TBC! He came with 579 slowly but surely!
That was all. Pertti
Messages Received.
From President Pertti re a 40-metre net on Tuesdays at 0700z :-
Hello Bill,
On Tuesday at 0700UTC I heard EA/G4HMG calling several stations on
7.180kHz. I answered at 0701 and we changed reports 59 both ways. For QRM reason we moved 3kHz up. No other members joined our chatting in spite of encouragement offered by both stations! Art of the day, minor stories of weather and intentions for the rest of the day were the topics. We closed the net at 0732UTC. There is plenty of space for more members to join! 73 Pertti EA7GSU ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That's all for this week,
73 de Bill g4yze
