Good Morning Bill
Good Propagation between VK3 and VK4 with myself, Bill VK4ZD and Diane VK4KYL present. Later we were pleased to welcome John ZL2JPM to the ANZO EU net on 20mx who had a good signal here and was heard in Europe.
I listened on 14293 from 1100z to 1115z and gave a couple of calls to no effect, 20mx was very quiet here at that time with very few signals from anywhere.

Many Thanks to Treasurer Bob Butler for the following report :-
Hi Bill, We had a good net today with Joe, W0TBC as net control.
Checkins were; Jack, KF5BD Joe, AF1E Pertti, EA7GSU and myself WB7RQG.
We also had two guests, Vern, KJ6OG from Salinas, California with only 4 watts output.
Jack picked him up but the rest of us could not hear. Also Roger W6AQR joined as a guest.
We discussed changing the net time to 1900Z. I will inform you when we make the change as most thought it a good idea.
73, Bob, WB7RQG
Messages Received.
N.B. This weekend Roar in UK will hold our AGM at Buxton.- on 14th May.
Most of our very active members will be there so apologies for our absence from the nets.
G2FUU Tommy does net feel able to attend the AGM so he will be on the radio.
The 20m element of his quad is broken but he will manage on the 80m nets alright.
Listen for G2FUU on 3,693 +/- qrm at 0800z.

That's all for this week,
