Lloyd and all:

Once again, I want to sincerely thank everyone for keeping our 40-meter and 
20-meter week-end nets going over the Summer.

I think that doing so has been very important, since it's clear that there 
is a substantial and even growing interest in these activities.

I have now gotten back from my extended family vacation, and am in the 
process of re-grouping and getting things back to normal for the start of 
another University teaching year.

Over the next few week-ends, the XYL and I are still going to try to enjoy 
some sorely-needed camping in our RV, which means that I won't be in the 
best position to be net control.  But, I promise that, as we get through 
August and into September, I'll step back up to the plate and do my part as 
net control or at least relay station for both nets.

Thanks again to everyone, and I'll see you on the air again real soon!
