I'll make it in some week but this weekend wont' be it. Sunday has become
one of the regular days for my girlfriend and I to get together for the day
and, I think we're booked up for the rest of the year on Sundays. I may
surprise you sometime and check in though.

>> Hi, all.

>> Well, I've been reading the mail on everyone's thoughts regarding our

>>
>> Here goes:
>>
>> Why don't we try two things this week-end?
>>
>> Rather than having our usual formal 40-meter net, why don't we try doing
>> a
>> 20-meter test on Sunday afternoon, and a 75-meter test later Sunday
>> evening?
>>
>> As for the 20-meter test on Sunday afternoon, let's try 2000 Z. I am

>> number of people.
>>
>> Then, how about if we do our 75-meter test Sunday evening at our usual
>> net
>> time of 0100 Z.
>>
>> I am not sure what frequencies to suggest, so if someone could help
>> monitor
>> 20 meters during the days, and 75 during the evenings, maybe we can make
>> an
>> informed frequency choice.
>>
>> My only complication for the week-end is that Sunday afternoon, I may
>> have
>> some help getting my ground rod installed at the home QTH, and I really
>> don't want to turn that help away, since the weather will be warming up
>> substantially by then. Nevertheless, even if I can't be there, you guys
>> could go ahead and do the test, and report on what you found.
>>
>> What does everyone think?
