[R-390] R-390 net update

[DCrespy@aol.com]

Well,  we had a little more success last weekend than the one before.  A 
small roundtable discussion followed checkins.  We did manage to cover the 
topic of the day.  Checkins were:

KC8OPP, Roger in Lima Ohio
K0KWK, Dave in St Paul Minn
W1GZS, Merle in Maine
WA0KZP, Steve in Iowa
KK4DF, Walter in Georgia
KG5LO, Harry in Michigan 

Copy was very poor between Walter and me.  Walter took Roger's checkin.  I 
took the rest.  Conditions did improve toward the end of the net.  Besides 
propogation, QRM was a problem for most of us.  

Thanks to all who listened, but heard nothing (Hank, thanks).  And thanks to 
those who tried to checkin but were not heard (Joe, I thought I heard an AM 
carrier in there, but no copy).  As conditions improve into the fall, we may 
have better luck.

I would welcome feedback on ways to improve the mechanics of making everyone 
heard for the next try at the net.  (HELP PLEASE!)

Just a side note, interestingly, I had one of the R-390A's on, along with my 
KWM-2 and TS-850.  I got the best copy on the R-390A!  The TS-850 was second, 
with the KWM-2 bringing up the rear.   I think it is time to align the KWM-2!
