Hi Bill

Myself, VK4ZD and VK4KYL Diane.
ZL1BFS Doug 57, gave me 59+10
VK2MCB Phil who met up with us last Friday here in Lockyer Waters. Reports were 59+ both ways.
Phil lamented that due to Fathers Day here in
Once that is working Phil hopes to join us on the 20m sched into
VK3FPSR Peter was also present with a 57 signal. Peter was called by a friend who stayed on after the net to chat with him.
Towards the end of the net we heard EA/G4HMG, John calling us but he seemed unable to hear both my signal and ZL1BFS.
EA7GSU, Pertti also called in but was having trouble hearing us. Pertti gave me a 24 report and was 44 here.
Pertti acknowledged that we would catch up on 20m but I didn’t hear him at all on 20m.
