Good evening, welcome to the PCL Packet Net.
Daryl is QRT for weather tonight.
Net order is Clint, Rick, and whoever else show up.

This week I started re-arranging the shack. Moved the node computer to
the basement and added an HF radio back on it so we have our HF port back!
Not much else happening with me.
Good evening Charlie and Bob - you guys are after George.
Good evening Clint, been a while since I've heard from you, how have you been? >>>

it.
KF8MZ Clint : Nearly bed time for me today. up at 4am.... Thanks for having me. Back to Net.
