Many Thanks to Peter VK3KCD for the following report :-
Good morning Bill
A smaller net this week on 40mx with Peter VK3FPSR/M/5 be3ing first to call in. He had a fair to good signal but struggled with the others as he is limited to 10 watts. Also on board were Doug ZL1BFS, Phil VK2MCB, Bill VK4ZD and myself. We were joined by Pertti EA7GSU who gave Doug ZL1BFS 5x8 and I think Bill VK4ZD got 5x6 both good contacts. Pertti was only just audible here.YIR and 73 Peter VK3KCD

Many Thsnks to Brian G3LUW for the following report :-
Hi Bill, A good 20m net this morning. Bill VK4ZD was very strong throughout, with Peter VK3KCD a solid 5 & 6. Reg VK7KK called in, but was not strong here. Europeans were John EA/G4HMG, Pertti EA7GSU, and Martti OH6SM. John G3OKT and I could hear each other 5&5. Last weekend we had 12 members on the 80m net, but today there were only six. Tommy G2FUU was in charge with John OKT, John JJR, Don JWE, Bruce PCF and myself LUW.
I am closing down for the rest of the day, and I have lowered the aerials due to the forecast of severe gales. 73 Brian G3LUW
1200z - 1300z International Net on 14,292
And Many Thanks to Pertti for the folloqwing report :-
Hi Bill,
Not very successful net.
I heard 1155utc Mike, G8LES and Malcolm, PA3AHC talking with obviously not very good readability. When joining I learned John, EA/G4HMG to be also on the QRG but only later with 44 signal. Mike, N4PF came back to my call with 59 signal but disappeared shortly afterwards. We changed reports with Malcolm with good marks and after many invitations I closed the net when no more members reported at 1220utc. In the ANZO net Bill, VK4ZD told he will be having long weekend next and will try to participate in this net. So keep ears open!
All the best 73 Pertti

Many Thanks as always to Jack KF5BD for the following report :_
Hi Bill:
93 degrees F. in ABQ today as I check in to the net. We had ten check-ins today, six Rotarians and four guests. Check ins were; N4EDT Ed, WB7RQG Bob, Net Control AF1E Joe Spears QTH North Carolina, KF5BD Jack, KC5NRC visitor, EA&GSU Pertti Spain, WA1RCH visitor, W2LGF Reuben, KD0NVY visitor and KF7NSY visitor. Net Chairman Bob Butler WB7RQG requests all members to check in 15 or more minutes early to participate in the warm up session that is informal and usually very interesting.
