Hello Bill,
As a happy end to the 2020 year, we had a fantastic QSO on 20m this morning ( evening).
You were 54 to me.
Many Thanks for the welcoming message !!! ....I am just doing my best !!!
You were later going down to 41.
I heard also the guy who was in late (MDR) : G0EGW with a 41 signal.
He is using an echo chamber, which is not very useful. The clearness is not good enough.
Malcolm was also on, but I just can hear his voice.
Nick was suspected.
Best Wishes
Jean-PIerre

Conditions were good although the regular continental splatter did not help reception. An enjoyable discussion about members' Christmas limited festivities and hopes for 2021. Happy New Year to all from ROAR in RGBI.

In the warm up session much discussion on Air Force life and experiences.
After the net opened President Ed asked each of us to share our fondest memories of Christmases past. This was an interesting exercise as there several in the group whose early Christmases were spent in places far from where they celebrated the latest holidays.
Joe AF1E screen shared a stealth antenna ala 007.
A different net but great fellowship and time of sharing.
Looking forward to a new and better year in 2021
