It's rare when I can't copy you here seek2. Maybe next time.

I will be present to NC tonight, no storms and everything looks good so far.

First reminder out at 2300Z.

No copy on you again seek2. I copied some others testing very strong. I can hear Olivia down in the noise from you, but no print.

Also that dude just below us on CW is +20 here & hard to filter out.

We can always do a relay, hogsniper.

Crazy since I'm running 150W out and it's olivia, my reach inside CONUS should be pretty decent.

Ghost print here, t-storms are headed here and my noise floor is S9...  I heard hogsniper just fine.

I have just a vertical 33' wire now, much less wire in the air than before. I have some rope on order & plan to put my doublet back up in the air when I get time. I'll just do an IN/OUT when I hear last check in. I got zero copy on your last. I used about 215 watts on my test.

Try setting the BW in flidigi to 500hz, easier than trying to notch out the CW guy. I can't audible hear NCS at all but have a 99% decode.

I'm using DM780 in Ham Radio Deluxe. Yeah, I set it down to 500, that dude is just crazy powerful here.

As is typical of Fall, the size of the net is getting respectable again.

This week, 8 stations + NC. I had virtually everyone at +7dB SNR or better, signals got stronger the later
past net time.

I could still copy you but you were down in the noise.

Interesting, I was looking at the foF2 at https://www.sws.bom.gov.au/HF_Systems/6/5 and it's showing it was 9 MHz at 0000Z
and 8 MHz at 0100Z -- I wonder if it was off 1 MHz and we passed through the magic NVIS moment early around net time
and then was on the other side by the end.

I'll be present to NC tonight's net.

We'll probably need a volunteer NC for the next 2-3 weeks after this week, though.

Comes back to a valid callsign so probably not.

ETA:

I'm not hearing you or the other station on my end, if he's transmitting.

I tried to relay KE8, but I think that I doubled with Rob. Nothing heard after the initial  checkin, no report.

That was me.  FLDIGI hates me for some reason.

OK, well, I have the call in the log if nothing else!

FLdigi hates everyone. Especially people who don't click to the end of the buffer.

OK, I ended up with 9 stations including the late relay. Never heard BD, unfortunately.

Conditions weren't too bad, maybe slightly rougher for me than last week but copied everyone I could hear.

Couldn't hear a couple of you, though.

I couldn't hear the east coast stations tonight during check-in's but had good copy on AZ, opposite of usual. I bounced right after commenting though so I didn't hear the other stations trying to check in later.

I'll keep working at it!  73 all!  

I was copying some of the closer stations, but not NC.

Just a reminder that we need a volunteer NC this week and next or it's a free-for-all, as I'm tied up with work commitments.

I can do tonight. I might be hit or miss on the early warnings.

6 checkins with NCS making it 7. One checkin was relayed to NCS.

New guy checked in tonight, welcome. I lost you at report time, not sure if we lost you or you were in/out.

My shack is still offline due to construction or I would help out. Hopefully next week I'll be able to get on the air again.

I will do it. As usual, I'll miss the 1 hr warning, I have another net at that time.
Link Posted: 11/2/2022 8:35:27 PM EDT

Conditions weren't the greatest for me tonight.

3 checkins plus NC for 4.

I believe there were two very weak staions trying to check in, but I had no decode at all and no relays.

A strong signal started and then dropped before any decode, but I think we got him back at the end.

I should be present to NC this week's net. There is rain and snow in the forecast but if there's no
thunder and I have power, I'll run the net.

ETA: First reminder out at 2300Z, and I'm hearing one of you fine.

Also I need to adjust the ET to 1900 since we do 0000Z, do'h!

2315 and 2330Z reminders out.

2345Z out as well. Only one station heard testing so far.

I bet a lot of eastern time stations pop up at 0100Z wondering where NC is

It's a good thing I just checked the board.  Totally forgot time change.

Conditions tonight were freaking amazing. Two of the three stations that made it in
had S9+ signals on the meter and +10dB SNRs.

Three stations plus NC tonight.

Hopefully everyone remembers the time change next week!

I was tuning up and checking audio levels and heard NCS tuning up.

Wasnt able to make the net since we have bible study this time on Wed so as a fun little practical experiment I did record the spectrum with my SDR and just played it back into my FLDIGI using VB-Cable.  There was some really close annoying CW there that the SDR was nicely able to completely filter out.

I missed all nets tonight, got home late. I should be around next week, but miss the one after that.

My shack is still a wreck, dust everywhere. Paranoid to power any thing on without cleaning everything first.

Time change almost got me. Managed to get fired up and receiving midway through the preamble, sent a quick in/out before dinner.

We usually eat right around 0600 central so my attendance get a little spotty over the winter.

A little late reporting but... propagation was very good again tonight.

We had 5 stations + NC in the net.

Prop was indeed good.  I could copy everyone 100% on my low (15'-20' high) 40m dipole with no problem.

And I almost forgot the time change again.  Hopefully by next week I will be back in the groove.

I will be present to NC the Thanksgiving Eve net.

Hopefully more of you remember it's 1900ET now.
