(n/h) failed to respond during subsequent rounds.) We had a total of 12 check ins this week (including the NCS). I'd like to thank the relay stations, and in particular, Eric, WB9JNZ for doing a yeoman's job of assisting net control. I was operating portable at a campsite, running my K2/100 into an EagleOne vertical antenna, and only Eric and a couple of other stations could hear me. Next week I'll be at home and back to my usual 500W station. I hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 09:46 PM ET. 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 mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, My prediction of QSB was inadequate to the conditions. I gave one report of S1 to S9 and I was being kind on the lower end. ESP was mentioned more than once. Late spring thunderstorms were stronger on 40 meter than they were on 20. Chatting was limited. On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z: W0CZ - Ken - ND K0DTJ - Brian - CA K6XK - Roy - IA K4JPN - Steve - GA On 7047.5 kHz at z: K0DTJ - Brian - CA WM5F - Dwight - ID K6PJV - Dale - CA Until next week 73, Kevin. KD5ONS - Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative action or executive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of the cells of the economic body - the producers and consumers themselves. __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
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. I will be operating portable from my RV this week, so will be operating at 100W on a vertical. Brian, K1NW and/or Eric, WB9JNZ may assist with net operations if folks can't hear me well. 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 __ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
