Good Evening,
My ears are still ringing from the QRN on 40 meters! Whew, it was hard
to copy at times because the noise got to S5 with signals at S2 or lower.
However, between the two nets we had 40 check ins. That is the most ever
for any Sunday! Yippee, I think we may be on to something :) Thanks go
out to first of all Tom, N0SS, for doing very fine work in the middle of
the continent. And thanks to you all for joining us on the air. I know I
missed a couple but the noise on 40 made things rough. The first net was
forty minutes in length but I think we got them all on 20 meters while the
second net ran for over an hour.
It looks like I'll have to put in an hour or so on the database to get
caught up. I may just copy everything over to a larger sheet or branch it
to multiple sheets to ease the scrolling. 497 different folks have
checked in since we started in June of 2002 for a total of 3451 times. I
have no clue how many times I have run the net :) I have missed a couple
but others have taken on the task. What makes it tough to count is we
jumped from one net each week to two nets back to one and then back again
to two. I would have to count week by week to keep track. I did finally
put my serial number into the database though. Since I checked in with
Tom from KL7V/5's house in Oklahoma I figure I am now part of things :)
There are 373 serial numbers listed. I don't have all of you in there yet
but we will keep trying.

If there are any errors in the above lists or if you would like to send
me any additions please feel free to email me. Like I mentioned earlier I
need to get the database updated as well as the website. When the dry
season starts I will be home for as long as it takes to get the carpentry
and roofing finished. I may be able to squeeze in time to do the
aforementioned work so all will be up to date. Typing after a day of
pounding nails is not always easy though. We shall see how all of the
work progresses. After a few weeks of carpentry I should be in fine
shape. The first few days should either make or break me :) Luckily I
have this 27 year old nephew who may prove useful in lifting and carrying
things. As long as he does not fall off the roof or cut off any fingers!
Thanks for the enjoyable nets today.
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control 5th Class)
