Hi Tom,

I will not be available on Christmas but probably on New Year's Day.  Take
care and very 73.

Subject: Some notes on our week-end nets

Hi, all.

I have a few notes to pass along regarding our week-end nets, and would 
appreciate anyone's thoughts.

First,  we apparently do need to change the frequency for our 40-meter east 
coast mid west blind ops round table.  Even though I can't hear them, we 
seem to be causing some interference for some folks down south, and they 
seem to be pretty perturbed with us.  Even though we could fight the battle,

suggesting that our frequencies are co-operatively shared, I'd rather not do

that.   I'm proposing, then that we switch our Saturday afternoon round 
table frequency to 7.190 or thereabouts.  Actually, we probably should be 
closer to 7.191, so as to not cause problems for those on 7.188, which I 
think is used at our net time.

Secondly, We need to think about our week-end nets for the next two 
week-ends--Christmas and new year.  I suppose we could suspend the nets, but

we could just as well keep things open for anyone who is around, and who is 
willing to take the helm on either day.  Personally, I'm not quite sure of 
my schedule for both week-ends yet, but I do know it is likely we will have 
some holiday activities going on that will prevent me from being there 
consistently.

I'd be interested in what others have to say.

Hope to hear many of you on our 20-meter cross-country blind ops net this 
afternoon--14.258 upper side band at 2100 Z.
