Subject: Saturday afternoon 40-meter east coast mid west round table

Hi, everyone.

I'd like to share some thoughts on our 40-meter east coast mid west 
roundtable as we get into the late Spring and summer months.

First of all, in the short term, there is a fairly good chance that I'll be 
around for tomorrow afternoon's session.  I will be going to a local ham 
fest in the morning, and have some other places to go in the early and mid 
afternoon, but I think there's a reasonable chance that all of that will be 
done by 4 p.m. Eastern.  So, I'll plan to be on or near 7.185 at 4 p.m. 
tomorrow.  If someone else could be around to take things over, in case I 
get delayed, that would be appreciated.  The only other problems I see with 
tomorrow's net is that if I do it, I'll be running bare foot, since I 
haven't yet gotten my TW1 back from LDG.  Secondly, I think tomorrow is the 
Indiana QSO Party, but hopefully, we'll be able to work around that.

Regarding future round table sessions, I am going to become less frequently 
available as we get further into May and into the Summer months.  This is 
because the XYL and I will be making rather frequent trips to the St. Louis,

MO area to visit with our son and his family, and also because we plan to do

a great deal of camping in our RV.  I have an HF set-up in the RV, but only 
have 100 watts, and a screw-driver-type antenna, which doesn't put me in a 
very suitable position to be net control.

I think we can, and should be able to, continue our round tables throughout 
the late Spring and Summer months, if others can step up and serve as net 
control and as relays.  Of course, I'll help too in any way that I can if 
I'm available on any given Saturday.

These are just my thoughts, and I'd be interested in hearing opinions or 
views from others.
