I was just back from our NFB state convention and a Bible study group, so
forgot about the net until it was too late.  Next week the Sweepstakes phone
contest will be in full operation until 0300Z, so I don't think the net has
much of a chance on Sunday night, November 22.  That is probably the only
weekend of the whole year where a net at that time on Sunday evening can get
clobbered.
