Phew, it was another busy and interesting net this week. Doug, GM0ELP, 
put a call out well ahead of 0900 and we managed to hang onto 3630 
despite heavy QRM at times. Three stations with linears helped 
(including Doug with his Acom). I will try and swap my doublet for a 
trap dipole this week and use my K3 + Acom 1000 to assist, although most 
stations were around 59 or better both ways to me.

Subjects included Softrock Lite for the K3, Clifton Labs buffer, LP-PAN 
vs. Softrock Lite (there was a lot of interest in panoramic adapters 
again), sound card choice, microphone choice, setting up TX and RX 
equalisers, fitting 2nd receiver and removing the left side plate to 
help align the intermediate boards, features in latest beta software and 
the 2nd receiver, antenna routing with 2nd receiver, AGC settings, data 
modes and Ham Radio Deluxe.

I am almost net control and secretary!

Stations were:

GM0ELP, Doug
M0GJH, Andrew
G3MLO, Peter
G3XGC, Geoff
G4NWJ, Jim
G0VGS, Ian
G3RXQ, Stewart
M0PIE, Bob
M1PAF, Paul
MW0IDX, Roger (called after I signed)

See you all next week!
