[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Report

2024-05-12 Thread Dave New, N8SBE

3803 kHz, 9PM ET Sunday (0100Z Monday).

Thanks to the following check ins (w) and relays (rel):

   Call   State Radio/Amp Name
1  N8SBE  OHK4D   Dave
2  AK4TF  GAFlex 6400/KPA500  Tony   (w)
3  WB9JNZ ILFTdx101d/KPA1500  Eric   (rel),(w)
4  W9PCS  WIK4D/KPA500Paul   (rel),(w)
5  K1NW   RIK4D/KPA500Brian   (rel),(w)
6  K1DIH  CTK4D/Tokyo Hi-PowerBrian   (w)
7  K1ND   MIK4/KPA500 Jan   (w)
8  WM6P   GAK4D/KPA1500   Steve   (rel),(w)
9  K8NU   OHK4D/KPA1500   Carl   (w),(c/o)
10 WW4JF  TNK3S/KPA500John   (w)

(Entries with (c/o) indicate a 'one and done' station that checked out 
during the 1st round. (n/h) failed to respond during subsequent rounds.)


We had a total of 10 check ins this week (including the NCS). Very nice 
hearing from everyone tonight, in spite of the fact that the NCS was not 
audible to most of the net, since I was running 100W into a vertical 
from my RV in Ohio. I hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 
09:26 PM ET.  Sorry for the abbreviated version of the net.


Conditions were poor this evening, as the band was recovering from a 
massive CME earlier in the weekend, and a solar flare that occurred 
earlier today.


We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage 
everyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to check in 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,

-- Dave, N8SBE

[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement

2024-05-12 Thread Dave New, N8SBE
Please join us on 3803kHz plus (not minus) QRM (see the Netlogger discussion, 
below), 9PM ET Sunday (0100Z Monday). Note that the net stays on the same local 
time, when we switch back and forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time 
changes, but not the local time.

As daylight persists more into the evening, we may find it more difficult to 
conduct the net at its regular time.  For the time being, let's keep it at 9PM 
ET, as that is getting late on a 'school night' for a lot of folks, as it is.

Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE. Note that I'm portable and 
running 100w this week, so relays will be much appreciated. 

The group that meets on 3803 kHz before us has been wrapping up operations 
promptly at or before 9PM ET.  There is also another group that normally comes 
on at 10PM ET, so we need to make sure to wrap up operations by 10PM ET.  If 
any stations wish to continue past that time, please QSY to a clear frequency.

If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is 
accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is clean 
and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz of the lower 
band edge of the 80M US General class band.

I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M 
Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've settled on 
for the evening.  If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP the band a few kHz, 
so we can stay in the 80M US General class band.

Hope to see you this evening on the net.

73,

-- Dave, N8SBE
