I tried calling the net at the top of the hour, and someone answered me. 
But he wasn't loud enough foro me to copy even his call.  I quit after a 
couple more calls.  Forty is like that sometimes on a summer day near the 
top of the sunspot cycle.  It is more likely to work for us as we get into 
the fall and winter months.

Subject: Missed the 40 Meter Net

Hi

I was waiting in great expectation of getting to finally be able to get on
the 40 meter net yesterday. Then it turned out we were expecting to have
company at the same time as the net. Well, they were late, and so I turned
on the radio only to find that my son needed a fresh bottle, burped, and a
dipper change. Perhaps I will get everything worked out next week. Smile.

God bless,
