Hi All, I apologize for being so scarce on the net recently. It seems like it's been a busy time for me. I'm feeling OK, all done with radiation and chemo treatments but the combination really took it out of me and I am just managing to keep working at the moment. Today was my grandson's 4th birthday party and I will be out of town later this week on a short vacation which I hope will help me add to the process of rebuilding my strength and endurance and we won't be getting back until later in the afternoon next Sunday. I should be able to be on net on the Sunday after that so please listen for me. Take care everyone and very 73.

I intend to start the 20-meter net today on 14258 at 2000Z (3 PM CDT). But I have thunderstorms moving in. The QRN level is already rather high, and I may have to shut down by 2020 or so. So please get your notetaking equipment ready so someone else can take charge when I shut down. I assume that not all of you are in Louisville at the ACB convention, h i. 73, Lloyd Rasmussen, W3IUU, Wheaton, Maryland Home: http://lras.home.sprynet.com Work: http://www.loc.gov/nls
