Due to the contest that will be going on, I think it will be almost
impossible to have a net on 20 meters that Sunday.  So if it's 17 meters or
nothing, I'll vote for 17 meters.

Tom,

I think 17 is a great idea.  But then I'm one of the rare folks who has a 
much better antenna on 17 than I do on 20.  I imagine many of our members 
may not have a 17 meter antenna at all.  So we'll have to discuss it here on

the list and, as you say, take a poll on the net tomorrow but, for the 
record, I'm in.  Lou
