Totally agreed, Lloyd.

I very much enjoyed doing the net from Colorado several years ago, and that 
is part of the reason why I initiated the East Coast Mid West 40-meter blind 
ops round table.

It's just a lot of fun to hear everyone's voices, to exchange thoughts and 
ideas in a more conversational manner, and to serve a useful purpose as 
well.

The basic success of our nets also means to me that others feel the same.

It will be a lot of fun as we get more participants and better conditions, 
especially as the seasons change and more people are inside for various 
reasons.
