Good Morning Bill
We had myself, Peter VK3FPSR, Bill VK4ZD and Reg VK7KK on the ANZO net on 7115 KHz.
Very quiet on 14293 KHz until 0643 when I first heard Klaus HB9CQS who came up to 5 and 5 by 0650.
Unfortunately he experienced severe rain static and he had not come back on by 0700 when I went QRT.

Many thanks to Klaus for the following report :-
Greetings Bill, In spite of fairly good conditions, it was a small net. It was also Jamboree weekend. A very fine programme and for once I almost enjoyed the interference. Here is an extract of my log. 06:00z Started listening. Noise and only weak signals. Thought for a moment that I heard Terusan. 06:33z Gerald, EA8CPN, answered my CQ RI call, but then faded out. Heard John, EA/G4HMG. 06:44z VK4ZD, Bill. 57 at first, dropping to 44, but 59 on second peak after net closed. Rain, rain. 06:52z Static rain here giving rise to 59+ noise forced me to close down temporarily. 07:04z EA7GSU, Pertti. Mostly 59. 07:05z VK7XX, John, friend of Bill and Diane. 59+20 both ways. John uses 4 el. wide spaced quad. 07:12z EA/G4HMG, John. Around 57 here. John also worked 07:24z G4YZE, Bill. Very poor copy here. 07:48z Net closed. Continued with Bill, VK4ZD, now 58 here and increasing to 59+ both ways. 07.54z Signed with Bill (ZD). QRT It was wonderful to have John on the net from Looking at last weeks VK - QSOs, I plan to be QRV next Sunday on 14293 from 06:15z and onwards. 73 - Klaus, HB9CQS
