[TenTec] TEN-TEC SSB NETS SUNDAY

[Art Roberts - W5AER]

Hi John,

I am glad that I was finally able to make one of the Ten-Tec nets. When 
I was listening on 40, it was just too rough and didn't think I would 
make the trip. And, with some help, I did get the job done. I have a 
fantastic rig, but really hurting in the antenna department. Right now I 
just have a short 'long wire' and the Omni VII wasn't really happy with 
it. It does better on 40. Hopefully once the snow is history for a few 
months, I can get up a REAL antenna. I haven't run high power in years. 
I did in the 80's when I was the Oklahoma SM for the league, but haven't 
since.

I am about 8 miles South of the Mass. line and Northwest of Hartford. In 
the Connecticut hills.

Hope to see you all next Sunday, and I will try 40 too.

Thanks for all your work on getting the net together and running it.

73,
Art
