Dear Bill, Bill and Pertti
I rounded Cape Eightyfour today (D-day) and it has taken a great deal of my time. I promised Bill (ZD) to prepare this report and I apologize for the delay.

- - YO9BC, Coco, was there, but too early for me.
06:36z VK4ZD, Bill. 57 - 59 here. Got 57.
- - Malcolm, PA3AHC, was there but too weak to work
06:37z EA/G4HMG, John. Fine signal. Peaking at 58.
06:38z EA7GSU, Pertti. 59+10.
06:39z G3OKT, John. Very weak for a start but increasing to 59+10.

I had to leave early. Here are the stations I worked.
11;31z YO9BC, Coco. 55 increasing to 59+20. Initially Coco had no copy on me. Later 59.
11:48z N4PF, Mike. 56 for a start and fading. Got 45 - 55.
12:00z EA7GSU, Pertti, 56 - 57. Told me that we had started 30 minutes too early.
12:05z G3OKT, John. 59+10. Got 58-59

From various remarks on the nets I gather that you have been to hospital, Bill, for reasons which were not disclosed.
I wish you a speedy recovery. As Laszlo used to say: "Stay upright".

Many Thanks to Jack Page WN55BD for the folowing report :-
G4YZE, Mr.Bill,
This reporter was pleasantly surprised TWICE today.
WA8BOB ROAR member Jerry from Ohio checked in and said he would be checking in more often now that some of his business affairs have been re organized. And Dave WN5V last years RI Convention booth station master W5R checked in. Net control was Joe AF1E today. Others who checked in with us were: KF5BD Jack, W6DY Larry from California and W2LGF Reuben also from California. W8AUV past prez John, and another past prez EA7GSU Pertti .
Reported by Jack .
