Good Evening,
The net was interesting this evening. A little QSB but not all that
bad. Maybe I am learning something. Or maybe I am just plain lucky ;)
Rounded up a few lost sheep this week: Ken and Ray had been absent for a
few weeks but they explained their absences. Jim was trying to tell us
all that September in Arkansas is usually dry. Tom agreed by stating
Missouri weather is much the same. You guys: I grew up in the Midwest and
can see a leg pulling contest a mile off! Enjoy your tall tales and soggy
climate ;)
Russ checked in running QRP but I never would have known from his
signal. N5EBD checked in strong and then faded off. He had slow QSB on
his signal. Not like last night into AK. The QSB was so fast it was hard
to catch the dits. I also learned something in an email from K1EV that
helps me understand why the AK folks are running a voice net on 7093 kHz.
To wit: "Phone and image modes are permitted between 7075 and 7100 kHz for
FCC licensed stations in ITU Regions 1 and 3 and by FCC licensed stations
in ITU Region 2 West of 130 degrees West longitude or South of 20 degrees
North latitude. See Sections 97.305(c) and 97.307(f)(11). Novice and
Technician Plus licensees outside ITU Region 2 may use CW only between
7050 and 7075 kHz. See Section 97.301(e). These exemptions do not apply
to stations in the continental US." Hmmm... I did not know that. Thank
you Bill. Good thing I have been using CW to check into the Alaska Bush
Net the last few days.
On 14049 kHz at 2300z:
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008 QNI #105
N9IV/QRP - Russ - IN - K2 - 4650
AK2B - Tom - NY - K2 - 4482
K3KYR - Jeff - NY - ? - ?
N7GS - Mal - MT - K2 - 456
N5EBD - Ken - TX - K1 - 34
KI8JM - Bob - OH - K2 - 3630
WU5X - Jim - Dry (?) AR - K2 - 3440 QNI #15
WA6GCL - Jerry - CA - ? - ?
N6JW - John - CA - K2 - 3290
W0CZ - Ken - ND - K2 - 1031
K2HYD/4 - Ray - NC - KX1 - 608 QNI #45
Any corrections or fills to the above list would be appreciated. I'll fix
the database and post the errata here.
Thanks to you all for making this so much fun.
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
