G4LXD Bill
G3SZF Bob
G3JJR John
G0EGW Vernon
G3OKT John, but his signal was well down and not easy to copy.
PA3AHC, Malcolm, again condx were not favourable but it was good to have him call in.
Conditions and inter-G condx were reasonable but QSB evident. Another interesting net with lots of topics of discussion and again some members would be joining the N4EDT ZOOM gathering later.

From Douglas ZL1BFS
With 32 people on the ROAR Zoom, there is not actually as much opportunity to talk to each other as there is on a noisy 20m QSO However, it was great to see you all this morning. (Well, it is my morning, anyway).
On the ROAR Net on Sunday 21 June on 20m there was only Bill VK4ZD who was copyable all the time, and John ZL2JPM (Whom I couldn’t hear) and Peter VK3KCD who suffered deep QRM, but was there some of the time, and I am told by Bill that Vernon was there too, but I couldn’t hear him. I attended the Rotary Convention this morning (at 0100 NZTime) so by the time I got to sleep again at 2:30am it was tough getting up this morning in time for ZOOM. Bill and Peter - I can appreciate your problem with mid winter early mornings. 8:00am NZT is early enough for me! But hey! The days are now getting longer. We got half a second more daylight today than yesterday! When we get to October, and the sunspots star climbing, the bands might be starting to open up again.
I was reflecting during the Zoom discussion about the proposal for an additional ZOOM for UK, whether it would be practical to make it an ANZO zoom. There aren’t many of us in Oceania, so we wouldn’t crowd the Gs out very much.
