Hi Kevin The N7WG Bill? you show is actually me. N0SS miscopied my call when I checked in. I was working on my antennas and tuning across the band when I heard the net, so decided to check in, just for the heck of it :-) Was QRU, so just went on with my antenna work. 73, Bob N6WG The Little Station with Attitude
