I should be present to NC today's net, but we've been having severe thunderstorms every day for the past week right around net time, so we'll see how that goes. On the bright side, almost 6 inches of rain this month and we've been in a drought so it was much needed.

In the next couple weeks we'll need a volunteer NC due to my work obligations.

First reminder out at 2330Z.

Bad prop tonight.  Barely copied a few words from NC,  less than 20%.  Very deep  fades and then lost completely.  Came back a bit at closing time.

No copy on Chris at all.  Bummer.

I had your test solid pre-net, Weaponeer, and then nada during net time.

We had one check in and your pre-net test this week. Prop didn't seem that bad but
it sure seems spotty this week.

I'll be out a couple weeks but hopefully it's better with more stations when I return.

It was so bad I thoght maybe I had a radio/computer/antenna problem, but I tried two different antennas and two separate radio/computer configs (main desk and my go-box) with the same results.  We've been having similar problems on the SSB net.   I'll just blame it on an early demise to the current sunspot cycle.

I'm working during net time this week and next so we'll need a volunteer NC.

IIRC our usual volunteer won't be around this week so good luck to whoever tries!

I will be able to NC tonight, but I'll be on 40M 7120.
7/29/2026 7:55:13 PM EDT
[#8]
7120
7/29/2026 8:09:19 PM EDT
[Last Edit: GreenDragon][Edited] [#9]
Nothing heard on 7120.
I will switch to 20m 14067.5 and check. I normally can't hear anyone there except NCS.
7/29/2026 8:15:06 PM EDT

Nothing heard on 20 or 40 tonight.

I'm out for tonight, family stuff.

Standing by if anyone wants to attempt a qso on any digital mode.
8/11/2026 8:25:03 PM EDT
[#13]
I won't be around tomorrow, we have family in town.
8/12/2026 12:41:36 AM EDT

I should be around tomorrow to NC.
8/12/2026 1:14:29 PM EDT
[#15]
I'll be around to NC this week.

Plans are for 20M/14067.5KHZ but between 2330Z and 2345Z will trying 40M/7120KHZ to see if 40M is working better if anyone is listening.

I have active lightning nearby, but I think I can still operate. If the hits are closer than a mile I'll pull the plug.

net reminders in about 3 minutes.

ETA:

Reminder #1 out on 20M at 2330Z but at reduced power, 2345Z should be full power.

Put out a request for reports at 2333Z on 40M, nothing heard. Will try a couple more times before 2345Z
8/12/2026 7:51:44 PM EDT
[#17]
Sticking with 20M/14067.5 tonight, no copy on 40M and I heard someone on 20M.
8/12/2026 8:12:13 PM EDT
[#18]
Rough copy on NC on 20m.
8/12/2026 8:44:09 PM EDT
[#19]
Only heard one station, and that was on 20M. Prop was good for that one station.
8/19/2026 3:26:41 PM EDT
[#20]
I'll be around to NC this week. Will check 40M after the 2330Z announcement, but the plan is for 20M.
8/19/2026 7:44:46 PM EDT
[#21]
Did the 2330Z reminder and popped over for 40M, nothing heard. So either no propagation or no listeners.
8/19/2026 7:50:47 PM EDT
[#22]
I'm not gonna make it home in time tonight.  Hopefully will be here next week.

8/19/2026 8:05:14 PM EDT
[#23]
I'm trying to get on, but something is wonky with my system. I heard the preamble, but having to reboot
8/19/2026 8:07:28 PM EDT
[#24]
I'll keep at it, nothing heard so far.
8/19/2026 8:24:55 PM EDT
[#25]
Two stations, a fair bit of fading but overall a quiet band with some really solid SNRs tonight.
8/26/2026 12:15:31 PM EDT
[#26]
We'll need a volunteer this week as I'll be busy working at net time.

Hopefully this will be the last time for a couple months.

I should be around to NC this week's net, but I'll be traveling back to the shack just a couple hours before net time so there's a chance I'll miss it.

If I do, anyone that wants to should feel free to jump on being NC.
9/2/2026 8:00:02 PM EDT

Preamble going out on 14067.5
9/2/2026 8:08:01 PM EDT
[#31]
Nothing heard, switching to 7120
9/2/2026 8:18:52 PM EDT
[#32]
Nothing heard, then arfcom site took a dump while I was trying to post up.
9/2/2026 9:27:41 PM EDT

Thanks for trying, Greendragon.

My appointment with a specialty vet ran long due to really bad news and I didn't make it back in time, obviously.
9/2/2026 10:26:51 PM EDT

Sorry about the bad news, I hope things work out.

Thanks, for the good wishes, GD.

Unfortunately they didn't -- didn't expect them too after the bad news -- but things went south far faster than I expected.

Memorial thread for my cat in GD.

I should be around to run this week's net. Will start on 20M but will check for 40M prop after the 2330Z reminder.
9/9/2026 7:34:17 PM EDT
[#37]
Initial reminder on 20M out at 2330Z, currently on 7120 looking for prop reports. Back on 20M at 2345Z.

9/9/2026 8:29:27 PM EDT
[#38]
Prop had a lot of deep fades but I heard everyone pretty well.

We had 3 stations + NC this week on 20M.
9/16/2026 12:54:11 PM EDT
[#39]
I should be around to NC this week, however severe thunderstorms are expected today so we'll see if it's safe at net time.
9/16/2026 7:47:00 PM EDT
[Last Edit: seek2][Edited] [#40]
Reminders out at 2336Z and 2345Z so far on 20M.

Band seems a little quiet, but better than 40M looks.

ETA: 2350Z out now as well.

ETA #2 0007Z: at least one station hearing me
9/16/2026 8:06:27 PM EDT
[#41]
Summer has been busy, I haven't been able to make the net... and it shows. After fumbling around, I'm listening on 14067.5, but not hearing anything.
9/16/2026 8:17:05 PM EDT
[#42]
Good copy on one station but band seemed a little dead otherwise.

Sorry you didn't hear us, Chalco! Maybe prop will be better next week.

One station + NC this week.

I should be around more, will try next week!
