I will be on for today's 40-meter roundtable, and Kevin will be running the
20-meter net tomorrow.  I think that if we can't move the 40-meter net to
the evening, we should suspend it for the summer and resume it in the fall.

Conditions were good last night.  I worked some Russians on 20, then several
VK's on 15 after 11 PM.  They were working Portugal, and that station was
also reasonably audible.  Probably another geomagnetic disturbance coming,
though.
