Kevin and all:

From what I can tell, band conditions weren't the greatest on 20 today 
anyway.

Florida was coming in fine, but I heard very little from other parts of the 
country, and a lot of spanish-speaking stations in the early evening.

Kind of strange.

Let's try it again next week-end!

Hi Tom,

Lloyd and I are in total agreement.  It's nothing but contesters all over
the place.  I don't mind contests but I don't know why they have to fill up
every weekend with them.  Take care and very 73.

Hello, all.

Well, 20 meters is wall to wall today with the Florida QSO Party.

In my view, it is probably a rather fruitless endeavor to try our
cross-country blind ops net under these conditions.

I'll stick around here for a few minutes, but if things don't change, I
think I'm going to take a break from my final semester grading and check on
the radio set-ups out in the motor home, just to be sure they are still in
working order after our long hard winter.

I'll listen out there for any net activity too, but I really am not sure
we'll be able to pull it off today.
