[K6BW] CW Practice Tonight

[K6 BBQ]

I would most likely need help if we go on 80 as I don't have an 80 mtr 
antenna.   I can get out to kentfield on 80 phone for Chet's net but 
past that distance I don't get very good reports if being heard at all, 
plus not being able to hear others in the net.
