I'd certainly be willing to try a 40-meter sked the next time, but I
want to be very sure we don't cut too many people out of the loop.
I particularly worry about Ed (K7UC), and Dave (W7OQ). ... Maybe they could
work out a way to communicate between themselves, and take relay check-ins.
I'm certainly willing to try it, though, as long as it's on the week-ends.
