Lloyd:
Regarding the distinction between round table vs. net, I tend to agree with
you. The 20-meter Sunday afternoon activity was always envisioned in my
mind as a net, since relays are often needed, and because of thee necessity
to keep general order under greatly varying propagation conditions. 40
meters is usually a bit more predictable, and I think more people can hear
each other--hence, the round table idea.
I certainly don't want to get bogged down with semantics here, but as long
as we keep the differences between the bands and likely propagation patterns
in mind, we should be ok.
