0530z - 0600z Anzo Net on 7,118.
Many Thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Good Morning Bill
Good propagation on 40mx this Sunday peaking in the middle of the net. On deck were Phil VK2FPDB, Peter VK3FPSR, Bill VK4ZD and myself. The highlight was Bill VK4ZD copying Pertti EA7GSU on CW at 0555z just at the end of the net. Pertti was heard weakly by all participants. Signal reports were exchanged between Pertti on CW and Bill on SSB being our first European contact on this net!
