We had a total of 12 check ins this week (including the NCS). Signals
came in strong after the initial check ins, then faded a bit during the
73 round. Thanks to the relay stations for the assists this evening.
Very nice hearing from the new check ins and in particular from KD9YVJ
who was using the gutters on his house for his antenna and the first
check in from WX0MIK using a Collins 30L-1 amplifier! I hope to see all
of you again. The net concluded at 9:42 PM ET.
We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage
anyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to try to check in next week.
Also, a couple of stations have complained of a 'roaring' noise (like a
foreign broadcast jamming station) on our planned frequency of 3806 kHz,
so I decided to find an alternate frequency this evening, which is how
we ended up on 3824 kHz. Brian, K1NW, reported that 3803 kHz was free of
the noise, and that the folks that meet there just prior to 9pm ET have
been closing their net promptly at 9pm, so I propose we try 3803 kHz
next week.
As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting
time and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you should see the frequency
we are using that evening, if we must QSY again due to busy frequencies.
73,
