Hi Tom and All,

Great sigs from everyone today except for Junior and the 7's who were too
close to me.  That amp really does make a difference Tom and I'm so glad I
had a hand in getting you on the air with it.

On the net, I would hope that as we establish it on a regular basis, we can
take turns as net control.  You know that I'm always ready to assist unless
I'm not here and I think if whoever is net control simply asks someone in a
different geographic area to ask for check-ins fairly regularly that will
make things run very smoothly.

I'm really pleased with the success on 20 meters and not having to struggle
to hear everyone on 40.

Take care all and very 73.

  Lou:

Thanks to you and everyone for the good report on the amp, and the words of 
encouragement.

I will be the first to admit that I did have a slight case of the jitters 
when tuning up the amp myself for the first time, but thanks to my LDG TW1 
talking watt meter, everything worked out just fine.

I am sorry that there were some I couldn't hear, and I hope I didn't somehow

skip over anyone.  I don't quite have this down to a science yet, but with 
all of your support, I can say one thing for sure:  the cross-country blind 
ops net is a real blast, and I am happy to be a part of it.  I may not be 
able to be net control every Sunday afternoon, due to other obligations at 
times, and I certainly am hoping that others will step in as NCS when they 
can.  Still and all, though, I'll help out however I can with the whole 
process, and please also know that I'm open to suggestions as to how we can 
make things run more smoothly.

I did not use the formal net script this week, but will try to gravitate 
back to that as we get settled into the new arrangement.

Signals faded here in Pennsylvania eventually but when we started, Kevin,
Tom, both Mike and Gary in Mississippi were pounding in. It should get
better as the days lengthen.  Tom, great job as NCS and that new amp makes a
big difference. Lou
