Hi Dave,

After Lloyd had signed I put out one final call for the roundtable, and 
got a call from a station in New York.   He was having some audio 
problems, and after getting things  adjusted a little  better at his end 
he asked about my setup, so that is what you  heard.  I was running 
about 700 watts and nice you could hear me even a little bit.   Band was 
not only poor  propagation wise, but also noisy due to incoming T 
storms.   Storm did pass through about 7 o'clock.   Hope to hear you 
tomorrow on 20.

73, Steve  KW3A
