Tom, sorry I missed the net yesterday.
I was at the county EOC putting up a new delta loop for the ham radio there.
I was also informed yesterday that my tower is severely damaged.
It is going to take a new tower.
Either one of two things will happen either it comes down on it's on which
we don't want.
Because it will most likely come down on the house.
Or we use a saw and drop it down.
When that happens I lose all of my antennas.

    John:

Band conditions on 40 meters improved enough by later in the day that we
actually had a fairly successful round table.

It's getting late here now, so I'll send the check-in list tomorrow for
everyone's enjoyment.

It will be interesting to see how 20 meters behaves for tomorrow afternoon's
cross-country net.
