Steve:
Sorry to hear about your mother, and if you can't make the sked, that'll be
completely understandable.
I realize that 40 meters may be a bit of a stretch between you and me, but
it'll be fun to try anyway.
Maybe sometime we'll try 20.
And, as I suggested last night, if someone wants to check out 7.230 in the
late afternoon and early evening for foreign broadcasts, let us know what
you find.

Tom,
I'll make every effort to be there. My mother had a stroke a month ago and
she's still in the hospital. Things are a bit screwy here, with my visiting
schedule depending on transportation situation.
Hope to try out my old Butternut HF-6V that I resurrected last week after
several years in storage.
Not sure if 7.230 is clear at that time, but below 7.200 could be a problem
since this will be the final hour of the Worked All Europe SSB contest.
Many of the EU guys will be in their jammies by that time, but there should
still be EU calling the world and stateside calling EU for those last few
points.
73, Steve KW3A
