The net can still occur without Johny. I suggest giving a few calls on frequency around 20:00 hours ET. If we're all aware of the net frequency and time, try it and see what happens. We're so spread out, and with recent band conditions, it makes it difficult to have a traditional net. Sooner or later band conditions will improve. I'll try to remember to listen and call on Sunday.
As a side note, I understand there's a couple of hurricane nets on 7.246 MHz and 7.268 MHz for those that are interested.
