WEEKLY NEWS Brought to you by Bill Learmonth .. G4YZE ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Roar Nets December 18 2011 |
||||||||||
Propagation good. K=0, A=1, Flux=128
0645z - 0730z Anzo Net on 7,118.
Many Thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Good Morning Bill
Present on the 40mx net this week were Peter VK3FPSR, Noel VK2IWT, Phil VK2MCB , Bill VK4ZD and myself. Conditions were marred by some electrical storm activity however all information was passed successfully. Doug ZL1BFS has had poor propagation to VK and so has not been able to participate on this net for a few weeks. We have however had a good signal from him on 20mx.
May I wish all on the nets a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. There will be no official 40mx net on Christmas Day but I think there may be some activity on New Year’s Day.
Finally on behalf of all our members in the ANZO region I wish to thank Bill G4YZE for his weekly bulletins which are greatly appreciated. (Thank you Sir - g4yze)

From Mike N4PF to Pat 8P6AZ
Hello Pat,
I am very glad you decided to join us this morning, and I hope you will check in very often. We have a good group, and recently, fairly good propagation.
I have been a Rotarian for about five years (doubt if I make it to 38!) and am honored to be the President-elect of the Cynthiana, Kentucky Rotary Club for 2012-2013. I will look forward to getting to know you, Pat, in the weeks to come.
Best of the best to you this holiday season!
73, Mike, N4PF
From Jim W1QUO
Season's Greetings To One And All.
Claire & Jim W1QUO
