[Collins] Saturday net

[David Knepper]

The CRA Collins Net on 20 meters (14.250 Mhz at 12 Noon EST) was not
operational today because of premature equipment failure.  We will be back
on next Saturday.

I apologize for this inexcusable blunder on my part.
The rig of choice for the net is the KWM-380 with a 30L-1 - well, the rig
was acting peculiar and I chose not to press my luck.  In the afternoon, I
found that the antenna changeover relay external was not working to put the
380 on the beam.

Next week, I won't have this problem.
