Hi Richard!

Yes, I would say propagation was what the thinking was there.

If you had a very high antenna or power, you could probably be heard as far
east as the Midwest on 40, but you'd be pushing your luck.

Was listening for you on 20 this morning. Will keep an ear out for you next
week.

Congrats on the upgrade.

73,
Dave

Hi!

For sure I am going to check in to the 20M net starting next week.  However,
for my edification, why would the 40M net likely be a non-starter for me in
Los Angeles?  Is it some sort of propagation thing with 40M?

Richard,

I think you are in L.A., so  the 40 meter thing wouldn't work for you. 
As Tom suggests, the 20 meter net  would work fine.   With a number of 
stations from all over the country, somebody will hear you.

73, hope to hear you on the air, Steve KW3A
