Would anyone on this list be able to help Don on his quest for 75m phone?

The portable equipment I have really doesn't work well on 75m phone.

Hi Ron:

My name is Don/K5DB and I live in Arkansas.   I am a member of a 
Worked-All-States net called the Geratol Net.   Maybe you've heard of 
it.  The net is in its 31st year of operation, and I've been a member 
for about 4 years.  It operates in the Extra Class class portion of the 
75 meter phone band on 3.768 mHz, and operates from 0100 to around 0500Z 
each day of the week.  It's comprised of Extra Class hams from all 50 
states and the Canadian provinces.

We have many awards that we pursue on the net and one of them is working 
Extra Class callsigns in each of the 50 state capitals.   I see from the 
database that you live in Honolulu, and I have only worked 2 Hawaii 
stations on the net, let alone a amateur in the Hawaii state capital.

I would like to cordially invite you to join us on the net in the near 
future, and was wondering if you have 75m capability could you come up 
on frequency and let me and some of the other net members work you for 
your state capital?   We do not use QSLs for the award, so you wouldn't 
have to worry about getting bombarded with a lot of cards, hi hi.   All 
we would like to do is work you for the log.

Could you please reply to me either way, and let me know if you could 
come up and join us some evening for about 30 minutes to an hour so I'll 
be sure and be on frequency (hi, hi)?

Maybe you could come on around 0400 or 0500Z which would be better 
propagation for you?

Hope to hear from you soon and best 73 - Don/K5DB
