Lloyd and all:

Once again, I want to express my appreciation to you and all the others for 
holding the 20-meter cross-country blind ops net together, and the 40-meter 
round table when I can't make it.

I remember the idea for the Sunday afternoon Cross-country 20-meter net 
originated with Kevin (K7RX) and me, back in 2009, when I was out in 
Colorado, and the net has obviously grown over the years.  I think a nice 
testament to that is the number of new folks we see checking in from time to 
time.

The story seems to be the same for the East Coast Mid West 40-meter round 
table on Saturday afternoons.

I know I have been rather sparce on these nets lately, but I very strongly 
believe in them, and will do my bbest to be there as the opportunity arises. 
In fact, I actually enjoy the net control function.  40 meters is now my 
best band for net control, since 20 isn't as reliable for me from up here in 
the North Country, especially during the winter months.
