Hello to all.  Conditions today were "interesting" on both 17 and 20!  I
could only hear a couple of very weak bursts of signals here in Atlanta on
17 meters.  I was checked in on IRC at #elecraft during the net but had no
other stations on the channel.

I could not hear Rich KQ9L at all on either 17 or 20.  When I got to 14.333,
Larry W6LAR and Bill NI5F were keeping the frequency warm (great idea -
thanks!!!) and nothing was heard from Rich KQ9L.  I asked Larry to give him
a call from the west coast but nothing was heard either by Larry or here in
Atlanta.  Since it was a few minutes past 20:30z we started the net.
Stations I logged on 20 meters are listed below.  Again, I am sure that I
missed many others and there are probably some errors included below.  It
was nice to be able to log in Jacques F9OJ and David VE6DRW as dx checkins.
Again, as was true last week, no cw checkins were heard by me (when I call
for cw I do tune + and - 1.5 khz of our net frequency - just to be sure!).
Stations that were logged in were given the opportunity to make any calls
that they wanted.  Mercifully - all declined and just participated in the
"test" - yes, conditions were rotten!!!

Several stations rotated the NC duties and called for * * * * "CHICKINS" * *
* *  - as I recall, Larry W6LAR, Dale WA8SRA and Harry AB2PN - and - surely
I've forgotten someone (sorry) provided checkins and relays.  Stations
checked in by me were:

W6LAR      Larry      K2 #3147   CA

F9OJ         Jacques  K2 #0937   France

NI5F          Bill         K2 #1135 and K2 #2473  (ck'd in on both K2's) MS

N5IB          Jim        k2 #1233    LA

AB2PN      Harry     K2 #3458   NY

NM5U        David     K2 #3014   NM

W7QHD     Kurt       K2/100 # 1538   AZ

K5OI          Tim        K2 # 0063  OK

VE6DRW   David      K2/100 #2171   Canada

WA8SRA   Dale       K2 #3039   OH

I'm not sure how I got into this but am glad that I was able to help out
during the last couple of net "tests".  It's doubtful that I'll have much
time next week and it is probably time for me to get out of the way anyway
so Stephen and Rich can get some more "permanent" help.  If you can
volunteer to serve as a net control station perhaps you could email either
Stephen W3SMK or Rich KQ9L and let them know.  In spite of the frustrations
of band conditions, it really is a lot of fun and I know they will
appreciate the volunteers :)  Have fun ----
