Lloyd:

I can tag team with you tomorrow for the round table on 40, if the 
thunderstorms stay away.

I actually think the worst of them might be over for me  by the time of the 
round table, but it will be a close call.

In either case, I'll be around to take check-ins that you don't hear.

Regarding the 20-meter net, I'm not in the greatest spot to be net control, 
due to my geographic location, and my antennas, but I'll certainly help with 
relays.

Looking forward to getting back on the nets with everyone!
