Greetings Bill, from the UK 80m 0800hrs Rotary net. We are sorry to learn that your 'op' has been delayed and hope it will not be long before all is well again.
Conditions this morning were quite good with little band noise and all participants giving and receiving '5 and 9'
First on were G3JJR, G0SQH. G2FUU and G0MMO who were soon joined by G3OKT leaving the 20m net and giving us a full report on their activities. Finally G0PCF completed the gathering before conditions started to fall. An excellent net.
The band was very busy at our evening net time although only G2FUU and G3JJR checked in for ROAR. Nevertheless a solid contact was made and enjoyed.
