Check-ins:<\/p>\n
1. NC4CX \u2013 Butch: Unable to check-in last week as he could not hear net control. Did listen to those that he could copy. Did not get on WPX at all this weekend. Listened but nothing new heard. Did work Ivory Coast before they left. Hope they confirm as it is needed. Did get Niger for an all time new one.
\n2. KZ1X \u2013 Steve: Using a different antenna tonight \u2013 a 10 meter squalo about 10\u2019 off the ground. His usual antenna is under construction. Worked 12 contacts on WPX and now only 1 short for a SA prefix for Excellence Award.
\n3. KJ4UZU \u2013 Clint: Has rf audio issues with his FT897. Now using the Kenwood and all is fine. Did work a few countries in the WPX contest \u2013 about 11 contacts. One new one on 80 \u2013 Iceland and now looking for a confirmation. Also worked Western Sahara on 80 and looking for a confirmation. Still stuck at 90 confirmed. Worked Papua New Guinea on 40 from the mobile.
\n4. W4BOH \u2013 Wilson: Nothing new at the Wilson residence. Went to Peter\u2019s over the weekend. Did some metal detecting today with his grandson. Got the Loudenboomer going. Found a power supply issue and also a filter choke issue. Replaced it with a choke from the Land of Magic inventory and now the high voltage is MUCH better. Going to write it up for the link. No new DX \u2013 Niger pileups were horrible. Listened Bangladesh \u2013 wonder if anyone worked them. Had a very enjoyable trip to the mountains but some rain on the way home.
\n5. KG4NNT \u2013 JR: Able to hear Bruce. Glad to be in the net tonight.
\n6. KA5ETS \u2013 Doug: Wilson came up a few S-Units due to turning his beam. Not going to be able to do much with Field Day this year. Got on 60 meters a few months ago and getting used to that. Running some JT65 around 5:00am. FCC may open more of 60 meters up for wider use. Awaiting their decision. Also now have a vertical for 80 meters with 4 radials. Have worked some Europe and Russian stations with JT65.
\n7. WA4PSC \u2013 Howie: Sorry to have missed the OCRA meeting last week. Been involved driving Sarah around but she is on the mend and actually drove her car the other day. Been working on lots of new projects for Dayton. Trying to get parts with long lead times reduced. Just got in from the machine shop \u2013 now eating dinner.
\n8. KU4GC \u2013 Dee: Missed most of the net tonight due to an OCRA Board Meeting. Heard Doug and Howie only. Not much to report. Worked Ukraine on 160 JT65. Also putting some time in on the Link proofreading. Enjoy The Egg and I breakfast.
