K1RQG:  some of the comments that follow are in regard to the effectiveness of the EME nets 
        on 20 meters and chat sessions on lower bands. My comments will appear in the heading
        of next Saturdays NET NOTES.

K9BCT/M: just traveling home from N Florida.. has not been on moon.. hopes to be home and on 
        the moon tonight.. just going through Orlando and observing heavy dammage from

        they are collecting uprooted trees and stacking them in this field..

        needs to be real careful with layout.. 

W2UHI:  storms from the West come across the lake and end up in Frank's back yard.. Frank's
        EME activities and search for information are on the 20 meter EME net or shooting the
        breeze on  HF live with others as well as publications that are available.. Frank
        feels that trying to get new blood into EME should be real time ..

        other home projects have been in the way..
