You were 59 here as well. You pretty much always come in good here.

It was yet another week of weather for me. I didn't bother to check in here, I was kind of pissed.
 S9+10 lightning and local as well. The stuff 20 miles south of here was pretty wicked. 9.3 inches of rain in May, and 6.2 inches for June. It's getting old.

 My grass is still growing like it is spring. |

I'm net control for our local 2 meter net this month. It's Thursday. I intend to open it the same way we open our net. Just on the 4th.

So,, tonight was a good reminder for me to slow down and take some time to talk with new Amateur radio operators. Wes from Iowa heard us on and put out his call a few times, after relaying him into the net, I thought you dummy, that's no way to introduce a new ham to the hobby. After Chris closed the net I gave Wes a call an he was still on frequency! We had a nice 15 minute long QSO and talked about station equipment, he was on a homemade 40 meter loop that was making a good trip to Nebraska with his 100 watts, he must have it figured out reasonably well since I turned down to 100 watts a bout halfway through the QSO and he was still able to copy 100%. It was a good reminder to be inviting, and welcoming to the newer operators, otherwise we aren't going to have anyone to talk to when the older ham operators pass on.

You did a great job with him, wish I could have heard him enough to have a QSO.

He's a newer ham and I was his first Alaska contact. I was the first Alaska contact for another newer ham as well. I made 17 15m contacts in about half an hour. I haven't done that much on 15m since the spring.. |

I had a work call right after the net closed so I wasn't able to stick around. Even with the static crashes I has able to copy all of the stations checking in at least 90%.
Would there be any interest in having a separate ARFCOM net called out of Nebraska on a different night to try and reach members out west? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FlatlandBusa: Would there be any interest in having a separate ARFCOM net called out of Nebraska on a different night to try and reach members out west? That's a pretty good idea BUT you have to find a workable time. At 2000 Eastern it's 1600 on the west coast. People are still at work. |

Would there be any interest in having a separate ARFCOM net called out of Nebraska on a different night to try and reach members out west? I think it is a cool idea. I can usually hear you pretty well, even when conditions are not great. Obviously, I am not out west, but would try to check in so that if any western people want MA in their log book, I could make some quick QSOs or at least offer signal strength readings. |

Including the guys out West would be awesome, the time difference has been a killer. I assume you guys will need to start a net around 1800 or 1900 Pacific to make it workable. I'll join in when I can. Does 40m work well from NE to CA/WA? My 40m coverage on SSB stops around TX and CO.

I'll start a thread later tonight looking for opinions on this. The time and date will likely be the hardest part to sort out to get the most check-ins and for me to have time to do it. I should be able to get Montana, Idaho, Nevada, and Arizona. I don't think I would get California, Oregon, or Washington on 40 unless the net was later.
Edit: Might even think about running the net on the same frequency, immediately following the regular net. If the regular net ran 30-60 minutes the time would be about right for an "ARFCOM West" net. |
