Hi Lloyd,

I really enjoyed the contact on the Sunday net!  Apologies for the late
reply, but I've been on other projects for a few days!

I listened to the net for about 25 minutes but had a strong EA8 station
causing QRM, but I heard the following:

You were 59 with the beam facing me, and 44 off the back.

I heard:

W6PR/0, 33.
KB5YC? Jessie 33.
KB5ZOT 59.
Junior 22.
And there was a Florida station who was very strong in between the QRM!

I'll try again this week, and under better conditions I'm sure I will hear
the 22 stations!

Best wishes, Kelvin Marsh - M0AID

The 20-meter band sounded rather dead when I first checked it.  But 
conditions were surprisingly good, with a mix of sporadic-E and F-layer 
propagation.  And Kelvin, M0AID, heard me off the back corner of my beam, so

we had a nice QSO (after I turned the beam to Europe) before 1955Z.  I don't

know whether he heard anyone besides WB9R, but I suspect that the QRM level 
in Europe reasserted itself after I turned my antenna back to the west. 
Thank you to KG4ITD for relays.  And another blind person happened across
