Carolyn:
Well, the 40-meter net, then, might be a stretch for you and me during the
late Summer months, but as we get into the Fall and Winter, 40 should get
longer at that time of the day.
At the same time, though, one of our list members (Junior, KG4ITD) lives in
Liberty County, Florida, has a super-duper loop antenna, and we can often
hear him on our 40-meter round tables even at this time of the year.
So, give it a shot, and we'll see what happens.
The 20 meter net would be fun for you to try too.
