Propagation still in the doldrums, K=2, A=8, Flux=94.
0515z - 0600z - Anzo Net on 7,118.
Many Thanks to Doug ZL1BFS for the following report:-
Klaus
I listened on the 7118kHz (Australian) net at 5:15Z on Sunday 22 July, but heard nothing. Bill VK4ZD and Peter VK3KCD had indicated that they would be at the Rotary Conference in Flinders, and several others must have gone too. On the 14293 ANZO net at 6:00Z and there was a very low noise level. I heard you very faintly - Readability 2, Strength 1. I called but could not determine whether you heard me. I also heard Coco YO9BC, 3-2. But nothing else. An hour earlier when I had tuned up the linear, there had been a lot of traffic on 20 metres. As I mentioned last week, I am currently back at my home in Gisborne, using 500W linear and a Mosely TA53M beam. My prediction program told me that my MUF to you was 13MHz.

Dear Bill,
You missed very little today. At Klaus request I am setting out below what I was able to hear.
Anzio Net.

HB9CQS 5/7 both ways Having difficulty with several stations.
G3OKT 1/1 with me. I think Coco might have had a thin contact.
EA7GSU/P Slightest trace with me, Klaus or Coco may have had some signal but not clear if in Spain or Portugal
PA3AHC 4/3 best then QSB Very much out in the cold.
G3LUW Only 5/4 with me At least he reported sun!

PA3AHC 4/4 When first heard but quickly faded
G8LES 4/2 Occasionally a bit better but rough with QRM

I left for luch at this point but left the rig on. I heard someone talking to Don.
Nothing from across the pond. The weather may be improving in the UK but not the Propagation.
And the following report from Klaus HB9CQS :-
Well done, John. Many thanks.
In fact, at 12:17z I managed to get Mike, N4PF, in Kentucky, but he was only 33 and I lost his report to me.
Also, at 12:25z Don called in as you already noticed. Don was 57 here. Got 59+. I closed down at 12:32.

No report received.
1900z - 1930z N.AM.Transcontinental Net on 14,287
Many Thanks to Jack KF5BD for the following report :-
Hello Mr. Bill,
Hope you are keeping well now .Sorry to learn you were ill for a spell. We need you to keep the UK up and running HI !! .
Today was a small group Bill and we operated on 14.284 because W1AW the ARRL station was operating on our usual frequency. Prop was some better than the last two or three Sundays and we missed all of those who did not find us. I would like to remind those that did not find us to slide up and down the dial at least three Kilocycles when we are not on the usual ROAR frequency.
Treasurer Bob WB7RQG did the net control thing today and his check ins were ; AF1E Joe, KF5BD Jack [Scribe] and W8AUV John former president of ROAR------
Here in the States people who at one time were Rotarians and Roar members but not at present are still welcome to check into the ROAR net and say hello etc . We extend the courtesy to all former members and would like to hear from you.
Sincerely, Jack
