Are we giving this a go tonight or is it next week for the fortnight gap?
I’ve completely lost track of the dates for the net!!

Hey up Lads.
No new Birthdays this week so should be able to scoot away from the grandchildren for a bit and have another try tonight. (Unless the couple of two years old break me whilst using me as a bouncy castle! )
Hoping my 10 Watts and lawnmower lead antenna rewards me like it did a few weeks back.
(Did we miss a week? Just as well me balls are in a bag or I'd lose track of them too! Age and gravity is already having a good go at dragging me back! )
Hopefully catch at least one of you later.

Bit difficult going tonight gentlemen but really appreciate your time and efforts.
Good to get you in the log even with the difficult conditions John and I've also logged you Mike with my dismal 4/2 but you were a good 5/9 for a while.
Graeme, you were booming in as usual and I even heard your quip about the little mouse in the back of the box. (I'm a damn big 6'1" - 18 stone mouse! )
Despite the dismal conditions you all made my day and it's much appreciated.
All the very best, Victor

Good to hook up with you again Victor, unfortunately the skip was running too long for a reasonable QSO around the South of England. Graeme was strong, must be something about Scotland with 500 Miles! (ish) Thanks to Mike for his net control, it was good to talk to him and Graeme again. Hopefully some better conditions next week…

I could hear you on the cobweb slightly better than the hustler. The hustler is just going straight over the top no doubt.
Anyway nice to hear John and Graeme again.
CU all again on the next one.
