Tom and all,
I haven't been able to join you.  Half of my HF antenna came down when a
tree and telephone pole broke during Sandy.   I'm in day 13 with no power.
The generator can run the Elecraft KX3 easily but I have to get the antenna
up first.  Can't do that until the electric company gets all the wires out
of my front yard.

Hope the rest of you did OK in the storm.

73,
Jim, KY2D

Subject: Report On Today's 40-meter East Coast Mid West Blind Ops Round
table

Hello, all.

We had a great 40-meter east coast mid west blind ops round table this
afternoon.  40 meters was in great shape, and the list of check-ins you will
soon read is a great indication of that.  I heard the vast majority of
stations with no problem, and relays from Steve (KW3A), and Kurt (K6VFO)
were very easy to manage.  Thanks to Steve and Kurt for the help.

Here is the list of participants:

1.  KB8T Y J--Tom from Big Rapids, Michigan (net control) 2.  WB9SLM--Kris
from Greenville, Illinois 3.  W8Q I Y--Lowell from Greenville, Ohio 4.
WD8INW--George from Clarkston, Michigan 5.  K I4KBO--Robert in Reva,
Virginia 6.  K6V F O--Kurt from North Dakota via the Handiham remote in
northern Minesota 7.  KW3A--Steve near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 8.
KG4ITD--Junior in Liberty County, Florida
9.   AC8E L--Bob in East Orwell, Ohio.
10.  VE3N Y--Angelo near Toronto, Ontario 11.  KB2Y A A--Gary near Buffalo,
New York `12.  W A 8RHS--Bill near Milwaukee, Wisconsin 13.  KD8SPF--Steve
in Canton, Ohio 14.  WD9G U T--Jim near Miniapolis, Minesota 15.  W A9R Y
F--Howard II. near Milwaukee, Wisconsin 16.  K A9Y I U--Glenn near Madison,
Wisconsin 17.  N9FQC--Larry in Sterling, Illinois 18.  KC9LTV--Ed in Chatam,
Illinois 19.  V A3 U I--Dave south of Ottawa, Ontario 20.  K A8G U H--Dan in
Syracuse, Ohio 21.  V o1 A X--Mike in Newfoundland, Canada.

Unfortunately, I will not be available for the round table next week-end. 
My son and his family are coming to visit from Missouri, and will be
arriving at about net time.  In addition, we may have a problem with the
ARRL November Sweepstakes phone contests which, I believe, starts at 4 p.m. 
Eastern.  Nevertheless, if someone wants to give the net a try, please go
for it and let us know how things work out.

Thanks again, everyone, for a great round table this afternoon!
