Propagation improving.
0545z - 0630z Anzo Net on 7118
Many Thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Good Morning Bill
A very busy 40 mx ANZO net this week, Peter VK3FPSR was on deck first but had to leave early. He will be travelling and hopes to be on mobile for the next 2 weeks. Reg VK7KK was back after an absence of a few weeks with his antenna and rig repaired. Bill VK4ZD, Diane VK4KYL, Phil VK2MCB, Doug ZL1BFS and myself completed the local complement and we were joined by Pertti EA7GSU who had good contacts with VK4ZD and ZL1BFS. The new time was successful for both the 40 and 20mx nets. The propagation was excellent on both bands.
Until next week YIR and 73 Peter VK3KCD.

0800z - 0900z UK 80-metre net on 3,694
Many Thanks to John G3JJR for the following report :-
Hi Bill
Conditions for the 80m UK morning net were vastly improved over previous weeks. The band was quiet and 12 members took part. These included the same six as last week with the addition of g7oai,g8les,g0mmo,g0pcf g4hmg/p (calling in on his return en route for EA) and g4dci after several weeks absence. Reports of 59+ were in abundance with only two stations bothered by QRM (described as electronic noise),. Armchair copy all round.
The UK evening net was held under the same excellent conditions as in the morning. Taking part were g4wru, g2fuu g3jjr with g3luw in the chair. Again armchair copy with 59+ reports all round. Superb!!
Glad to hear you now have a date for your op. Hope this makes you feel better --- we're still longing to have you back 73 John jjr

See report fvrom John G3JJR above.
1900z - 1930z N.AM. Traanscontinental Net on 14,287
Dear Bill, Sorry about missing last week.
N4EDT, Ed who resides in Pell City Alabama was the net control today. Ten stations checked in today-----5 were visitors and 5 were ROAR members. The members were: N4EDT Ed, W0TBC Joe Stillwater MN., WB7RQG Bob, Medford, OR., EA7GSU Pertti, Spain, and KF5BD Jack, Albuquerque, NM. USA scribe. Few of the visitors who check in stick around for the net. This net is doing a warm up session now starting fifteen minutes or more before net time and we find it helps us to get on our freq and hold it. All ROAR members are encouraged to join in the early session. And visitors too!!
Jack KF5BD
