Greetings Bill:
Peter, VK3KCD asked me to send in the report on the ANZO 40 metre net for January 22.
The net opened at 0640Z
Checking in were Bill, VK4ZD; Phil, VK2MCB; Peter, VK3FPSR, Peter had a friend in his shack, Alan, VK3AO who knew Bill, VK4ZD from his VK6 days.
Peter, VK3KCD also checked in.
A visitor David, VK2FEAA from Wyong, NSW checked in for a signal report.
We had a roundtable discussion on Bill's new microphone and Rotary activities during the Christmas/ New Year recess.
Some QRN was present but as usual, the signals came through it all.
At 0730Z we QSY'd to the 20 metre Anzo - European net.
