Good Morning Bill
Propagation on 40mx was not as favourable for me as it was on 20mx this week. I had a good copy on Bill VK4ZD, struggled to copy Noel VK2IWT at times and had no copy on Peter VK3FPSR. Bill Noel and Peter has copy on each other. We were joined by 2 guests Wayne VK4MAD and Andy VK2FFAC/3.

Many thanks to Jack Page KF5BD for the following report :-
Hello Bill : I listened to the early morning (here) from 1200 until 1330
thinking I might hear you but no luck. (I could just hear you Jack)
Eight or more stations checked into this net today including TI7//AA2UP Richard, Roar's new communicator Editor,
EA7GSU Pertti, Roar president, and WN5V Dave the 2011 RI Convention Roar Booth chairman with the help of Joe AF1E, much Roar and remote base radio convention business .
We had two guests --------VA5BRT Bob, from Saskatoon, SK. Canada, and Ken W7MZG, from Idaho.
Net Control talked to W7MZG after the net was closed and invited him to join Roar. Joe W0TBC also talked to Ken.
The net a real challenge today because of stations on each side of us were bleeding on us.
Reported by Jack Page KF5BD due to the absent of WB7RQG
