Butch:

You were indeed just at my noise level when you checked in, and I was hoping 
that, as the net progressed and the band lengthened out a bit, your signal 
would come up.  However, when I called for you, you didn't appear to be 
there, and it didn't seem like anyone else heard you.  I tried for you once 
again at the very end of the net, around 5 p.m. my time 4 p.m. your time, 
but heard nothing.

Keep trying to see what you can do in future nets.  I do think it might be a 
bit of a long haul between Michigan and Kansas on 40 meters at the time of 
the round table, especially now with the switch to daylight savings time. 
However, there are others on the net in Illinois and Wisconsin who, I would 
think, should be able to hear you and relay you in if needed.

How much noise did you have tom?  I could hear you vwery well here, but I
gathered I was just above the noise level for you.  I was running the amp
so thought you'd hear me better.  Perhaps this antenna isn't that great on
40?
