By contrast Pertti reported "a very quiet band".. Busy day in the village. New Mayor's day.
Pertti had been there making some studies and having some beer with the locals. Good Idea! Hi.

Many Thanks to Jack KF5BD for the following report :-
Dear Bill :
Where is the line ? We used to have a few Canada Rotarians and Mexico Rotarians join in the net but not recently. Costa Rica ? Central America ?
( I don't know Jack. Last time the sun had a long holiday was about 1650 to 1725. Now called the Maunder Minimum.
The Thames froze over. They had carnivals and dancing and roast-chestnut stalls on the ice.
And Handel wrote "The water music". We must look on the bright side ! g4yze)
The second Paragraph is the report.
Jack KF5BD was net control today with help from everybody who checked in . Conditions were worse than last week.
Check ins were; W2LGF Reuben, W0TBC Joe, KB6NU Dan and a first for Dan who just installed a beam antenna so he could get heard. Dan belongs to the Ann Arbor , Michigan club of 300. Perti EA7GSU who must have heard net control and checked in via CW. AF1E talked to Perti maybe both ways----CW and Phone what I heard was both.
A challenging 45 minutes for sure. We missed those who could not check in today.
Scribe today was Jack.
Messages Received.
From John EA/G4HMG, by phone, :-
An appeal for UK & European mainland stations to support their 40m net on 7,180 at 0730z on Tuesdays.
This week he had a good contact with Peter G3TKK in Lytham and Malcolm PA3AHC in Holland.

That's all for this week,
73 de Bill g4yze
