Since I am one of those people who has their reply-to: field set in Outlook,
some of the Blind-hams replies go to me instead of the list. Here's Tom's

Lloyd:
Well, good thinking about the Sweepstakes phone contest. I totally forgot
about it.
As everyone on the list knows, I will not be available for the net on the
22nd because of a trip to Missouri to visit my son and his family, so I'll
leave it up to you guys as to what you want to do about the net.
Should be back to business as usual on Sunday: November 29th.

I was just back from our NFB state convention and a Bible study group, so
forgot about the net until it was too late. Next week the Sweepstakes phone
contest will be in full operation until 0300Z, so I don't think the net has
much of a chance on Sunday night, November 22. That is probably the only
weekend of the whole year where a net at that time on Sunday evening can get
clobbered.
