We'll have to see what people say. My inclination would be to try running a
40-meter net at 0100Z, or 8 PM CDT on Saturday night, to see how we would
do.
We'll see what people think of various options.
Meanwhile, I'll be on 14258 in a few minutes, and W9 and W0 are loud here.
If you don't hear me, listen for K7RX, K0DDA or KG4ITD.
