Tom,  I really think we should cancel both nets on the weekend of field day.
You are right in that most of us will bde busy on Saturday and the band will
be as well.  But on Sunday, we may all need some recovery time.  

See what everyone else thinks.  

Kris

Subject: Blind Ops nets for the month of June

Hi, all.

For what it's worth, I thought I should let everyone know my situation with
regard to the Saturday afternoon 40-meter round table, and Sunday afternoon
20-meter Cross-country blind ops net for the month of June.

Basically, I will only be available sporadically, due to travel and other
commitments.

To make a long story short, here's the deal:

This week-end, I'll be camping in the RV, so will have the usual limitations
that go with that rather modest set-up.

Next week-end (i.e. June 11 and 12), I will be visiting my son and his
family in the St. Louis, MO area, so will be out of the picture completely.

The week-end of June 18--19 is still up in the air. ... If I'm home, I can
certainly participate in  the nets from there, using my DXCC antenna and
Ameritron AL811H amplifier.  However, it is likely that we will spend at
least part of that week-end out at the RV, which will limit my participation
once again.

Finally, as everyone knows, June 25--26 will be the ARRL Field Day, which
many of us will be actively involved in.  My thinking is that we may want to
scrap the Saturday afternoon 40-meter round table for that particular
week-end, since the band will be wall to wall wit Field Day activity.  I may
be around for the Sunday afternoon 20-meter net, but again, I do not know
whether I'll be at home or at the RV.  Plus, like many others, I will have
been up for most of the previous 24-hours, and may be much less coherent
than I'd like to be at 4 p.m. Eastern.  (grin)

Anyway, these are just my thoughts.  Hopefully, if everyone chips in a
little, we can keep the nets going, even in a somewhat scaled back or
limited way, through the busy summer months.
