A very
interesting
net. I
think
Bill and
Henk had
spoken
to
Rob
ZL1RD
earlier -
before I
got the
opening,
but I
did not
hear
him.
Henk had
a busy
day on
the
contest
but
having
problems
with his
log
software
(N1MM)
They had
an
impressive
display
on the
Rotary
Shelterbox.
Henk
got some
pictures.
Bill
VK4ZD
had been
up at
4.30 and
away to
prepare
the
Rotary
Market.
(Dedication)

Bill is
putting
up his
big
tower
with a
Yagi on
top
later
this

think
**
He got
good
reception
of
Pertti
and some
intermittent
sig's
from
John
EA/GHMG.
Pertti
is
planning
to
attend
the
R.I.
Convention,

(Webmaster VK4ZD - Pulled down a 45' tilt-over tower to repair and ultimately erect with a new 10/12/15/17 interlaced yagi on top)

Jim was
greatly
troubled
by
contest
qrm
until
1200z
when
things
became
quiet
but with
deep
fading
on most
signals.
Jim is
now
using a
clarifier
programme
called
"Noise
Away"
which
has
improved
readability
by two
or three
R
points.
Mike
N4PF
gave me
5/8 at
first
but
disappeared
before
we could
have an
extended
contact.
Many
thanks
to Don
and
Malcolm
for
their
support.
Pertti
got them
but I
did not.
Pertti
kept up
about
5/5
throughout.
He is
looking
for
support
at New
Orleans
in May.
All in
all the
net was
hard
work.
We
missed
Klaus !
