Good Morning Bill
Good propagation on 40mx this Sunday saw Diane VK4KYL, Bill VK4ZD, Phil VK3FPDB, Peter VK3FPSR and myself in attendance. Phil is to enter hospital on Monday for some elective surgery and we wish him well. He hopes to be sufficiently mobile to join us next Sunday!

0700z - Net Closed. I listened from about 0530z but the band was pretty dead until 0600z
when it seemed to open abruptly. Peter gave me 3/3 and "very difficult"
Sorry I could not bring Bill VK4ZD up out of the noise which was about S3 here.
Pertti did much better from Spain getting a 4/4 exchange both ways at 0620z.
I guess we shall have to be patient with this net for several weeks now

were rather poor.. Jim reported they had been forced to take refuge in their "tornado shelter"
cellar for a couple of hours on Thursday. There were three tornado touchdowns nearby.
The nearby town of Springfield suffered severe damage that day.

Many Thanks to Treasurer Bob Butler for the following report :-
Hi Bill. Terrible conditions today. Joe W0TBC was net control.
Checking into the net were the following;
Jack KF5BD - Jim W1QUO - Reuben W2LGF - Carlos WI9R, a guest and me WB7RQG.
Jack could hear everyone but had to relay everyone else.
Starting Sunday July 3 we will start the net at 1900Z
This will be one hour later than we have in the past.
Most of us go to church which necessitated the change.
I will send a note to the web master to make the necessary change on our web site.
73, Bob, WB7RQG
