[GreenKeys] HoffNet Testing on Sunday

[Roy Norris]

Hi Bob & HoffNet Gang,

Sorry, I missed the 12:01 PM transmission.  I had to go to RadioShack to
pick up a DB-25 connector so I can get the Hal DS-3100 on line.  I will
be around the rest of the day and will be transmitting on 30 meters only
for now on the hour.

I'll give 20 meters a listen later on and if the contest is over,
perhaps try a few transmission again there.

I would appreciate any and all signal reports.

Best regards -- Roy Norris, K4EEG
