Lloyd and all:
The XYL and I just got back a few hours ago from our trip to the East Coast
to tend to my mother's ongoing medical situation, so if all goes according
to plan here, I should be recovered enough to take the 40-meter east coast
mid west round table tomorrow afternoon at 4 p.m. Eastern.
If things change, I'll post something to the list to let everyone know.
Actually, given the challenging week we have just had, doing tomorrow's
round table will be a nice relaxing break!
As for Sunday's 20-meter net, let's all not forget that we switch to
Daylight Savings time early Sunday morning, so Sunday's 20-meter
cross-country net will begin at 2000 Z. This is still 4 p.m. Eastern, 3
p.m. Central, 2 p.m. Mountain, and 1 p.m. Pacific, but will be somewhat
earlier in the day as far as daytime propagation is concerned.
For the time being, I still must refrain from volunteeering to take net
control for the 20-meter net, but hopefully, conditions up here in the north
country will improve enough for me eventually, so that I can take my turn at
some point.
