Conditions seemed good again this week. We had 25 participants over a 25 minute net. Discussions were on what the blank spots on the back of the P3 are for (upgrades/updates?). One station asked about moving the net to 1900Z during standard time. If you have an opinion about the net time, email me

We had a difficult net today. Propagation didn't seem that great, and we were bothered quite a bit by QRM from 14.313 MHz. After a few minutes, we QSYed to 14.315 MHz to get away from the QRM, but it was still a problem. As it was, we had 15 participants over a 20 minute period. Thanks to everyo

The net got off to a slow start due to the terrible QRM from 14.313 and the refuse taking over that frequency today. Rather than fight it, we moved to 14.316 MHz and were much better off. We'll see how the situation is next week and see if we need to move again. Propagation was OK, and we had th
