The poll results are as follows:

• In favor of QSY: 19
• Wait 30 Days: 11
• Stay on 7205:  3
• Stay and publicize DX window: 1

Majority rules therefore the 40 meter SSB net will move to 7.195 MHz pending Tandy, K5TRM, making contact with what may be a regular local sked in his area and elicit their participation and approval. Assuming Tandy is successful (and why wouldn't that silver-tongued devil NOT be?) the 40 meter QSY will take place on May 1 local time.

At that time we will also go to DAILY operation on 40 meters. At this time the NCS roster is KU0G, W5BLH, K5TRM, KG5RJ, and KD0ETE. The current NCS schedule on 40 will remain the same unless somebody wants to swap days. We need volunteers for Monday, Tuesday, and Friday plus possibly Wednesday.

• Monday, K5SMH
• Tuesday, OPEN
• Wednesday, W5BLH 
• Thursday, W5BLH
• Friday, OPEN
• Saturday, KU0G
• Sunday, K5TRM

I am pleased to announce the awarding of NCS Certificates as follows:

• NCS Novice: KD0ETE
• NCS Novice: K5TRM
• NCS Pro: W5BLH
• NCS Advanced: KG5RJ
• NCS Pro: KU0G

Certificates are being prepared and will be available in your awards inbox in the next few days!
