We had a total of 12 check ins this week (including the NCS). Most 
signals were good all around, except a couple of barefoot stations.  For 
the most part, 80M was in fair condition overall.  Many thanks to the 
relay stations for pulling those stations in and making them part of the 
net. Very nice hearing from the new check ins and hope to see all of you 
again.  The net concluded at 9:39 PM ET.

In spite of the recent frequency change, the turnout continues to be 
encouraging.  Brian, K1NW, was dealing with some loud noise on frequency 
that he was able to help control by setting his manual notch to 330 Hz 
and using NR on his K4D.  It was also noted that sometime after the 
pre-net started that 3803 kHz became clear.  I continue to monitor 
adjacent frequencies to see if we can find another one close by that 
will work better for everyone.  In the meantime we will continue to meet 
on 3806 kHz.

Hope to see you next week!
