Good Morning Bill
We had the pleasure of welcoming Noel VK2IWT back in VK after 5 months in Canada where he was active on the North American net. VK/ZL propagation was poor but I heard Doug ZL1BFS and Rob ZL1RD here, I understand John ZL2JPM was also present but not heard here. Also on frequency were Bill VK4ZD and Phil V2MCB as well as myself. We were joined by one guest.

Many Thanks to Mike G4WRU for the following report :-
Good morning Bill. Hope you and Josie are ok. Hope you will rejoin us on the net once you have your op. Conditions on 80mtrs this morning were much improved. first station to reply to my cq rotary call was a non rotarian, GI4SAM Sam from Belfast. I was pleased to receive a 59 from him, as I had a new long wire ant. in use. Then tommy G2FUU called in at 59 plus, G3JJR John followed, he had trouble with his rig cutting out intermittently, Norman G0MMO came in at 59, and last was an ex ROAR member Bill from east Anglia boomed in at 59 plus. Tommy and John remembered him. I do not think I will make the evening net, but if i do will send you a further report. I closed the net at 08.59.
All best Mike (G4WRU)
1200z - 1300z International Net on 14,293
Many Thanks to Klaus HB9CQS for the following report :-
Greetings Bill,
Very sorry for the delay.
Pertti was absent and I fumbled my way through net control. In spite of this, we had a fairly good net - at least judged from this end. I thank all participants for their patience.
EA/G4HMG, John was there from the start. Big signal here but not so big on the other side of the Atlantic.
N4PF, Mike, likewise present from the start, starting at 45 here, increasing to 57.
VE3BGG, Bert, 57 - 58 here. Got 57. Bert reported cold weather and at last some rain. Much needed after a dry summer.
KD8WSL, Simon, from Michigan, visiting. 56-57 here. Got 54-55.
G8LES, Mike, big signal here, 59+, dropping to 34 at the end.
PA3AHC, Malcolm, as usual almost skipped out. 33 only.
VK4ZD, Bill, called in and was worked by N4PF, VE3BGG, G8LES and PA3AHC. Bill was only 22 here and I never called him.
12:56 Net closed.
On Pertti's initiative, we were testing propagation conditions in the evening at 20:00z.
Pertti now in control worked KB1TCD, Jose, and HB9AVX, Stefan. Pertti also called KF5BD but no answer.
We both worked N4EDT, Ed, from Alabama and K4GBH, Joe, from South Carolina, a visitor. Ed was 58 - 59 here. I got 54. Joe, K4GBH was 58 - 59 here.
At the moment 20:00z is a better starting time for the Transatlantic net. I am looking forward to the final decision on this.
73 - Klaus, HB9CQS
Also from Bill VK4ZD :-
I also called in to the 1200z - 1300z International Net on 14,292
Mike N4PF was 57 and I got 55
Bert VE3BGG 57-9 - heard me ok Klaus HB9CQS was audible but not readable, he had gone by the time I turned my antenna to Europe Mike G8LES was 33 but 55 when I turned my antenna to Europe Malcolm PA3AHC 33 but 54 when I turned my antenna to Europe after the net.
Regards 73 Bill, VK4ZD

See report from Mike G4WRU above.
1900z - 1930z N.AM. Transcontinental Net on 14,287.
Many Thanks to Jack Page KF5BD for the following report :-
Hello Mr. Bill:
During the warm up session thirteen stations via about three of us located in the states checked in. Of the thirteen , nine were ROAR members and four were visitors.
Joe W0TBC located in Minnesota handled the net control duties today. Only six stations all Roar members hung around for the net and they were: KF5BD Jack, WB7RQG Bob, Joe W0TBC net control, N4EDT Ed , VE3BGG Burt, and EA7GSU Pertti. Others may have tried but propagation did not cooperate. Sorry if we missed someone.
