Kris:
Could you check 7.185 MHZ at your location at 8 p.m. Eastern, or 7 p.m. your
time, just to see if there is an established net there?
I'll do some checking here, and Junior is going to check from down Florida
way.

Lloyd and all:
000Z or 8 p.m. Eastern Saturday evenings would be fine with me!!!!
Actually, that might be a bit more convenient here too, since we'll be past
the supper hour.
What do the others think?
Again, I have a hunch that something is on 7.185 at 8 p.m. Eastern, so we'll
have to check that out.

I tend to be more available for net control if we do the net at 0000Z (8 PM
EDT) or later, rather than 2300Z, which I can make only sometimes.
