I called Tom on the phone after the net to apologize for violating the cardinal rule of not following NCS direction. I heard W8QZ offer to QSP Saranac so I asked KB8PGW to give it to him instead of me. When I returned to the net, I really confused the situation. But I guess we're all friends and K8ED straightened me out, so thanks, guys. What would W8FX have said if he was monitoring the net?
73, Mike

Hey, no problems with me.? Same thing happened to me once.? Couldn't keep up with the callsigns and traffic, couldn't organize it all fast enough.

We got one message through- thanks?

Okay, let me confess, I totally lost my ability to keep up with the head copy. So, thank all of you that was on the Friday QMN Early. And a special thanks to Mike, WB8DTT for QNG (and Larry, WB8R).?

Clearly, I have some work to do to not panic and listen better when I'm head copying. A Goal for my New Year!!!
Also, still learning what to do when there are several locations and who to pair up. Back to the NTS Practice and Guide Manuel.?

Thanks to everyone for their patience and kindness!!!!
