(Entries with (c/o) indicate a 'one and done' station that checked out 
during the 1st round. (n/h) failed to respond during initial (was only 
checked into Netlogger) or subsequent rounds. (p) indicates a portable 
station. (m) indicates a mobile station.)

We had a total of 13 check ins this week (including the NCS). Thanks to 
all the stations that helped with relays, and a big thanks to Brian, 
K1NW, who hosted my K4D to his K4D connection from Michigan to Rhode 
Island and Greg, K8CGS, who hosted my K4/0 to his K4D connection from 
Michigan to Michigan while my antenna is down for construction at my 
home QTH. I hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 9:50 PM 
ET.

We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage 
everyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to check in next week.

As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting 
time and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you should see the frequency 
we are using that evening, if we must QSY due to busy frequencies.

Also, check out https://hams.live to find out how to set up a multi-SDR 
receiver on your PC, which greatly aids in hearing folks during poor 
propagation or high noise levels.

Also, also, please check out https://mikeg-dal.github.io/QK4/ for the 
latest QK4 K4/K4D remote software for Windows.  This is currently Beta, 
so some things are not complete, yet, but I think you will find it quite 
useful.
