The QCWA related Net spreadsheet has been attached.? The list shows that Jerry Sams, N5KNU, had 13?attendees this morning on December 1^st. ?I really appreciate Mason Sarles and his thoughtfulness in taking my place as a net controller since I really do not have any way to put out up to 1000 watts I as I have for many years using my Icom PW1 Amplifiers.? Having said above I am hereby telling you that I intend to no longer work as one of the net controllers.? By the time I eliminated all of the power output many people could only barely hear me but many of them could not hear me at all.

?

The normal Sunday QCWA41 7:00 AM net caller sequence is Carl Solomon followed by Jim Popelarski followed by Mason Sarles.? Jerry Sams, N5KNU, has offered to join the regular callers list and we are grateful to have him.? Jerry does a great job as a net controller and we are lucky to add him to our net controller list.? Jay Urish, W5GM, also volunteered to be one of the QCWA41 net controllers this morning. He would do a good job and could probably be heard by almost everyone.? I believe Mason Sarles, Foster Rich and I would be willing to assist Jay if he needed some help with some of the distant stations.? I can hear almost all of the California, Arizona and New Mexico stations using the Reno SDR repeater.

?

I have asked Jay Urish, W5GM, to post the each Sundays Attendance Report on the QCWA41 net so that I do not have to send it out to all of our individual attendees.? I will continue to maintain the Attendance report for the foreseeable future as I have done for quite a few of years.? It will always be published in the Bullzip PDF Printer mode.

?

Please look at the QCWA Net List Attendee Count I attached above and you will see that we have a number of users that have not checked in for quite some time.? I believe we should make an effort to contact these users and see if they intend to begin checking in on a regular basis.? If they do not we should let them know that they will be eliminated from our list of current users.? Each of the QCWA41 Sunday net callers should make this announcement every week as soon as you start the net.

Your faithful servant,
