OK, folks, I'll be listening tonight at 8 PM on 7.238 +- Mhz. :popcorn:
-
Well, did you hear anything?

I didn't hear anything, but there's a QSO on 7.237.
-
I was listening in and could just hear enough to identify JohnyMacs call sign.
-
I was on at 2000. I called x 3, but no reply. There was a net at 7.240 and a couple of AM stations lower in the band, so no lack of qrm
-
Anyone up for the net?
-
Net 2000 ET, 7.238+ MHz
-
I'll do my best to be there listening.
-
Well, I heard people all around there but no ERIN net.
-
A new HAM operator here, General Class, looking for the ERIN schedule. I was told 1800 hrs EDT 7.231 or 3.970 LSB but did not hear anything, only to find out here that 2000 hrs is apparently current. Is there a day of week also?
-
Yes, Sundays, 2000cET on 7.238+ MHz., most of the radio guys are in the Eastern U.S.
-
OK, thanks. I found the "updated EIRN net link" after I posted that question, and it noted Tuesdays at 8 pm EDT 92000 hours). I will tune in both days and see which, or maybe both are valid.
I have only a random wire up at this time, as the Gap Challenger DX is still in a box, but it apparently pulls in pretty well.
-
Well, I tuned in again all around 7.238 tonight and all I heard was a bunch of Conversations going on. I didn't hear an ERIN net.
-
Johny is thinking about getting them started again from what I understand. Especially leading into election day and with the insanity cranking to 10.
-
That would be great. I was at a meeting last Sunday, so I didn't get home in time for the net. I've got another meeting this Sunday too, not sure if I'll make it or not. We've got a mutual assistance group locally and they meet Sunday afternoons/evenings. The meeting is at my QTH this week, so hopefully it'll be done in time, if not, I'll do some live radio training.
-
OK folks, its Sunday and 6:45. I plan to be listening at 8 pm EDT around 7.238 Mhz. I hope I'm not stuck there with nobody else around.
-
I didn't make it due to shooting practice. Some twilight shooting exercises. I learned I need to change the batteries in night vision scope sooner. The scope doesn't work too well when the batteries are dead.

Sounds like time well spent....
