Matt:
We have a 40-meter east coast mid west blind ops round table on or near
7.191 at 4 p.m. Eastern Saturday afternoons, and a 20-meter cross-country
blind ops net at 4 p.m. Eastern Sunday afternoons. Those times translate to
2100 Z, but they will change to 2000 Z when we go back to Daylight Savings
time in most of the U.S. in mid March.
P.S. Am I correct that you worked me as W1AW/8 Saturday afternoon? If so,
I'm sorry I didn't recognize the call properly. Hopefully, we can connect
on HF sometime too for a more leisurely QSO.
