I'd be willing to try the 40-meter round table at a later time if that
is the will of the group.
Again, I want to remind everyone that even though I'm quite willing to be
net control when I'm available, the xyl and I likely will be camping most
week-ends from now until mid August, so I'll be limited to 100 watts and the
screw-driver antenna with the TS480.
But I'm certainly willing to try anything anyone else wants to try. We
could always switch back to the late afternoon time in September.

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.
