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.
|

Don't confuse where I live with where I'm from.

I will be traveling for work next week and will be unable to call this net. If anyone wants to call it post up here.

There are too many lightning crashes for me to be of use. I haven't done well reaching out West anyway

Let's kick this off on 20 meters tonight. I'll post the frequency @ 19:55CDT.

14.342 looks GTG
Edit: I didn't hear any ARFCOM stations on 20 meters, my noise floor is only S2 so I should have heard anyone out there. I won't be calling the net on 40 meters due to time constraints. |

I forgot what day it is. I cannot hear you on 20m.

I can hear Cory and he heard me, I believe he relayed me in.
The guy from Las Vegas with the inverted v 8' agl was doing well. |
|
|
I dialed in late but soon enough to hear 'this frequency returned to regular use'.
I could hear NE, WI and NV. |
|
|
I heard net control call out early. It was faint but good enough for me to know when to TX. I called a few times.
|
|
|
I listened but was too close in to copy the NCS.

Sic semper tyrannis!
|
I wonder if posting in some of the western state hometown forums would pull more folks from out west.
|
|
Don't confuse where I live with where I'm from.

Hopefully I'll have time to call this net on both 20 & 40 next week.

CRAP...
Forgot all about the net, I was watering my lawn. Last week and last few days have been nice, 75 - 78 degrees. Today was 97, had to get water on the lawn. Got to make myself a reminder for the nets I like to check into. Tom KQ6OT |

Lets kick this off on 20 meters @ 08:00 CDT. I'll post the frequency approximately 5 minutes before.
