Good morning/evening
Whoever completed the tweaking (I think that is a technical term !) did an excellent job on PEANUT. Great to talk to everyone today.
20m. There was a contest on today and a Russian had already taken 14.294 and when I moved to the second frequency 14.285 there was another contest station there. Although they were a nuisance on the other side of the coin it was good to see so much activity on the 20m band.
Regards
Nicholas

A round of reports of Rotary and amateur radio activities was followed by a lengthy discussion of ROAR administrative issues including constitutionally controlled powers and authority of ROAR officers. Some discussion of costs of operation of the fellowship was held
A very good net with much encouragement for further amateur activities especially CW and antenna construction.
