05:33z  ZL1RD, Rob. 54 for a start peaking at 58. Rob stayed with us until 06:23z, always Q5 here.

05:35z  VK3KCD, Peter. 53, increasing fairly quickly to 58 both ways. Rain and hence no Spider.

06:06z  VK4VAZ, Brian from Murgon as guest. 44 to 56 here. Got the same from Brian.

06:14z  VK2IWT, Noel from Uralla. 54 here, peaking at 57. Got 59+ from Noel.

06:17z  VK2GWK, Henk. Big signal. 59+10. Got 59+. Henk worked John (HMG) and Bill (YZE) also.

06:59z  EA7GSU, Pertti. Hardly readable for a start. Increasing to 59 shortly before closing time.

07:23z  Net closed

The skilled handling of the net by the VKs and Rob made it an extra pleasure to take part!  

Just before the net closed I heard Martti, OH6SM, 56, but never worked Martti. Pertti did. Martti's antenna has stuck due to a rotor problem. A new rotor is on its way.

No workable signals from Bill (YZE), John (HMG) or Malcolm (PA3AHC), but they were there.

And many thanks to President Pertti for the following :-

Hello Bill,
Yes I was listening the ANZO 40m net on Sunday morning from 0500 onwards. I heard ZL1RD with 42 and understood that Bill and Peter were on qrg as well, audible but not readable. I tried to catch their attention with CW without success. I believe that someone with a beam had made it. I have GP and dipole only................

The following is a side product from New Orleans correspondence with PA3AHC:

(Last but not least, could you perhaps ask Bill to post me directly with his weekly bulletin which I don't see anymore..
Until the next sked -   73's,   de Malcolm )
  His e-mail is:   malcolm@campbellconsulting.nl     

Have a splendid week
Pertti

I must get a sky reflector of some kind to bring in the short skip.  Hi Hi.

A great net !  Promise of things to come.
