Sunday Morning Radio Contact

It's Sunday morning. I plan to try to check into the Bermuda net today at 12 GMT on 14.277. My friend Glen, VP9ID in Bermuda is the net manager for this particular net. If you are one of my ham friends in the US perhaps we could meet on that net. I am not sure if I am going to be able to get out on the radio very well. I have switched on the radio a few time since we have been in Horta and not heard a thing. We are tied in the middle of 3 boats on a wall and there are sailboats on all sides of us. Our poor antenna is just surrounded by metal. 

If that does not work and I cannot hear the net or be heard then I plan to switch to D-Star. I finally got some good Internet working here at the boat so I will hop on REF034 C after I have given the Bermuda Net a fair try. I hope to talk to some of you later this morning. 73
