Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By FlatlandBusa: I never heard you on either band, better get that SB220 running. Lol it works on every band except 40m.  ETA I didn't try to call on 20 because you were very faint. A few of the responding stations were loud on both bands. Seems like I might be in the skip zone on 20 and I probably need to use my horizontal antenna on 40 instead of the vertical. If you're east of me, I've got mountains that are likely blocking the takeoff angle on the vertical antenna. |

20 is rough for me tonight. The only one above the static has been Bob MA 55.

Net will start on or around 14.338. 20 is reasonably quiet here right now.
Edit: on the phone with a work call should be able to kick it off at 5 til. |

I heard NCS about 40% on 20m, enough to hear the call for checkins. Thanks for the relay from MA. TX was a good copy and I could hear CA.

I made an error when mentioning signal reports. I did actually hear Bruce in TX at a 54 here in MA, which is a rare occurrence; I usually cannot hear him at all.

14.342 looks GTG
