Garry et al,

I think the list worked as it should, and per the instructions provided.
Bob 'QHG called me after being unable to raise N8NN who was likely at 
church.  I called everyone else on the list since I was unable to raise 
anyone.  I got answering machines at most and left messages. I then went 
on down the list since an answering machine was to be considered a "no 
answer".  I found that WA8WV's phone didn't work.

Most must have been at church or otherwise occupied.

I have no tribander up at present and am using a 20m wire vertical 
alongside the 70' tower.  It barely heard the BS7.  I'm receiving better 
on my 17m yagi with a low power tuner.  I can't put full power to that 
one without a high power tuner.  I'm guessing that my best shots will be 
40 or 17m.

73,

Dave K8MN
