Many Thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Dear Bill
Please ignore my previous email and replace it with the following:-
Good Morning Bill
The 40mx ANZO net was well attended this week and started early as Bill VK4ZD answered my test call at 04:45z. I had replaced my antenna feed line with 450 ohm slotted line that morning and the results are satisfactory. As well as Bill and myself Diane VK4KYL, Peter VK3FPSR and Phil VK2MCB joined the net with Rob ZL1RD joining just as we were finishing.
YIR and 73 Peter VK3KCD
0600z - 0700z - Europe - Anzo net on 14,293 Long Path:-
Hi Bill
Rob ZL1RD was first off the mark this week 59+20 both ways..
Coco YO9BC was aloso quick off the mark with 58 reports both ways - quite a bit of qsb though. John ZL2JPM was next with a solid 59 both ways. Jean Pierre F1CFA was good copy in the clear at 53, giving me 55. Peter VK3KCD was 59 doing well into Europe with his wire beam being fed with new 450 ohm balanced feeder. Klaus HB9CQS with a consistent solid 59 signal (both ways) Pertti EA7GSU started off at 55 and built up to a great 59 signal. Pertti was able to call in Phil VK2MCB who I couldnt hear. John G3OKT was consistent with his 54 signal, giving me 56 Klaus advised that John G4HMG / P checked in but I couldnt hear him Vitor CT1BJZ was a good signal at 54, giving me 55. Keep up the great work with the emailed report Bill.
Regards 73 Bill, VK4ZD

Jack and Bill,
Let me amend Jack’s report. We had 9 check-ins. As the net was closing we had a check in from W2MSR Jack in Maine. Jack is also a Rotarian. It appears that each week more and more Rotarians are finding us. Always good to hear from new folks.
Joe Spears AF1E
Dear Bill for your report, Lots of static but Joe WOTBC with the help of Joe AF1E and others checked in KF5BD Jack, W2LGF Reuben, WB7RQG Bob, WD8QHD Noel, N4EDT Ed, and at the very end EA7GSU Pertti from Spain. Total check ins eight and no visitors this week. WB7RQG was running bare foot with 100 watts but said his new amp that idles along at 1KW would be in the line next week. Reuben is experimenting with antennas. Jack Page KF5BD, Scribe Messages Received :- That's all for this week, 73 de Bill g4yze |
