Mike:
Actually, we got word that we were interfering with a group already on
7.195, so about a third of the way into the roundtable, we moved up to
7.198, which seemed to work just fine.
I'd propose using that frequency again next week.
And, please do keep us posted on the CW balloon beacon!

Sorry I missed it.
Did you use 7195?
I was here, but I was listening for a balloon beacon that a local
middle school radio club instructor had launched from Alabama. Never
did hear it.
He is getting ready to launch one for his club in this area later this
spring.
More details on that when it is about to happen, if anybody is
interested in listening for a cw beacon.

Subject: Report on today's 40-meter east coast mid west roundtable
Hi, all.
Well, to put it mildly, our first ever 40-meter east coast mid west
roundtable was a tremendous success. It was sure good to hear some
calls
and voices that aren't as readily heard on our 20-meter net, at least
from
my location.
Here's the list of participants. If my count is right, there were 27
total
participants, including me as net control.
Thanks to Lloyd, Junior, Lou, Bob, and others who helped with relays.
kb8tyj--Tom--Big Rapids, MI--net control
k1eir--Barb in Connecticut
w3iuu--Lloyd in Kensington, MD
kb5elv--Buddy in Erie, PA
wb9slm--Kris in Highland, IL about 30 miles northeast of St. Louis, MO
kb9zuv--Gary in Indiana
n1umj--John in Massachusetts
N0HOK--Handiham remote station accessed by Chuck in New Zealand
k8lr--Bob in Kalamazoo, Michigan
N4HC--Fred in Florida
kg4itd--Junior in Florida
w8jwa--Jim near Dayton, Ohio
wa3mix--Lou in Williamsport, PA
kw3a--Steve near Phili PA
ve3xeq--Chris near Toronto
kc2qjb--John in New Jersey
kb9yiu--Glenn in Madison, WI
k8sp--Steve in Lansing, MI
k9jau---Pat near Chicago, IL
kk3f--Pat in Frostburg, MD
vo1ryn--Mike in Newfoundland, Canada
wa9top--Howard near Milwaukee, WI
wd9gut--Jim in Minnesota
w4kdk--Ken in Tenessee
k4bfj--John in Florida
wa9ryf--The other Howard in WI
k2joe/mobile--Joe in Florida.
If someone got missed along the way, I sincerely appologize, and I
promise
we'll catch you next week if at all possible.
I'm up for doing the roundtable again next Saturday afternoon. Should
we
stick to the same time--2100Z, or does anyone have any suggestions for
a
time change?
After the 40-meter session, a few of us moved down to 3.815 MHZ on 75
meters, which also worked surprisingly well. I heard Howard (Wa9TOP),
Lloyd
(W3IUU), and Steve (KW3A).
I'm game for trying something on 75 meters as well, so let's kick that
one
around on the list in the coming week too.
Thanks again to everyone for a great roundtable, and I look forward to
next
week!
See everyone on tomorrow afternoon's 20-meter cross-country blind ops
net!
