Changed the subject line. I'll try and remember to swing the beam to the
northeast on the next couple of net sessions, probably 5 or 10 minutes after
2000Z. With that setup I probably would have heard you. But it turns out
that we had a solar flare at around 2015-2030Z, which probably accounts for
some of the weak signals I observed to the west. We try to keep the net
right on 14258 so that we will be easy to find. There is a "tin can
sailors" net on 14255, a Collins users net on 14262, and perhaps some QRP
operation on 14260; the General Class part of 20 meters is always crowded.

Hi Lloyd,
Yes, the Florida station on 14.257 was 59 here, but the band was swamped
with US stations around the 14.255 to 260 allocation. No problem though, as
I will keep trying over the next few weeks!
Set up here is a 3 ele SteppIR and the UK limit of 400 watts, but the
competition from South Europe with better propagation and kilowatts can be a
challenge <smile>!

I'm sorry I didn't read my e-mail before conducting the net. At 1915, 15
was still open to parts of Europe. Additionally, some stations in the
Florida QSO party were working Europeans on 14257 before the net started.
But my beam remained west to southwest. With all the QRM, you would have
needed to be quite loud for me to hear you. I can try next Sunday, if we're
not swamped by the W7 QSO party.

Hi All,
I've set my alarm for 20:00, and I will try to make the 20m net tonight.
Might be a stretch from England, but you never know, so please listen out
for M0AID!

Hi, all.
Well, as usual, I didn't make the 40-meter round table today, so thanks to
Steve and everyone else for holding down the fort.
Had a full work day today with a student recruitment function in the
morning, and then a few hours of work in the office this afternoon, but
things may start to slow down a bit after next week.
Next week-end, if the weather cooperates, and if unexpected work demands
don't conspire against me, the XYL and I may try to take the RV out to our
favorite camp site.
Don't know if we'll get the G5RV back up in the air again out there, but if
we do, maybe I'll need some testing on 40 or 20 meters.
Will keep everyone posted.
At least I'm now over the nasty flu bug that caused me to cut my Michigan
QSO Party contest effort short last week-end!
And besides, it's now sunny and 65 degrees here--the first 60 degree day we
have had this year so far, and a far cry from the snow we had here just two
days ago!
