Good Morning Bill
Good conditions on 40mx this week and we welcomed Noel VK2IWT back to the net after his winter/summer sojourn in North America. Noel reported that he had had disappointing results from the nets whist in Canada and the USA. We also had Bill VK4ZD and Phil VK2MCB on frequency. Bill advised that the first of the new additions to the antenna farm was in the air and photos have been distributed! No signals from Pertti this time. I had good copy on all stations despite some QRN. YIR and 73 Peter VK3KCD
