UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE ERIN PACE PLAN 2021...January 26, 2021
« on: December 31, 2020, 10:06:52 AM »
-UPDATE - Revised January 23, 2021-

I am going to switch things around this coming Tuesday, January 26, 2021.

1) The Digital part of the net will start at 1900 hrs eastern.

Primary         3.588 Mhz USB Contesta 4/250 1000 on the Waterfall
Alternate       7.035 Mhz USB Contesta 4/250 1000 on the Waterfall
Contingency  This email thread
Emergency    Text. Do I have your cell phone number?

When the Net Control Station (NCS) calls for checkin's this is the reporting format,

de your call/name/location/ de your call

Once the NCS has gathered checkin's they will post the checkin's calls/name looking for corrections or additional checkin's.

Then the NCS will start reports. Report format will be,

de your call/name/location/traffic if any/your report for around your AO, Covid, unrest, military movement, etc/weather/de your call

2) At 2000 hrs the voice net will commence.

Primary         3.968 Mhz LSB or higher till clear air
Alternate       7.238 Mhz LSB or higher till clean air
Contingency  This email thread
Emergency    Text. Do I have your cell phone number?

Looking ahead to January 26th (1/27/2021 Zulu) using the propagation predictor, 75/80-meters is 95% or better from northern Florida up north through Lake George, NY and west out to the Mississippi River. Central Florida it is only 85%. Sorry to the folks who try to check in from there.

The reason I am making this change is two part.

Part 1
AMRRON, also holds a digital net also at 2000 hrs eastern on 3.588 at 8PM, Cont 4/250. With digital taking a bit longer to TX/RX and facilitate for the NCS, I thought it wise to have more time before the AMRRON digital net.

Part 2

Once I looked at the propagation predictor, all stations with the exception of central Florida, had a 95% or higher level of TX/RX. Here is a screen shot of NE PA to Knoxville, TN. It is similar north to Toronto, ON., and south to Montgomery, AL.
 


Looking forward to seeing you all on the air Tuesday, night.  :cheers:

Do what I do.  Write in on the dry erases board on the fridge. 

Then be sure to remember to help cleaning up after dinner so you can remember to read the fridge board.

So Johneymac, I'm curious what is your beef with AmRRON? Most of the AmRRON operators I have dealt with Have been good people, patriots, preppers and very well versed in digital modes on the radio.

There is a net from the midwest on 3.963 Mhz splattering over to 3.964 Mhz. and a net above 3.964 Mhz on 3.965 Mhz which is doing its own splattering.

I am going to make a management decision here and start the net on 3.967.50 Mhz which seems to be clear in my AO.

OK, I'm listening for the Digital Net at 3.580 USB plus 1000 Hz. What's up with the guy that seems to be sending CW 24 hours a day at 1500 Hz? He's damned irritating since he never shuts up. I'm going to turn on my Automatic Notch Filter and turn those beeps into clicks. I won't be transmitting on the Digital Net because my radio doesn't like the overpowering audio that my computer sends to it. :popcorn:

I'm using my 706 which isn't interfaced with the PC so I'm trying to get my tab or other PC to receive, unsuccessfully so far lol. And yes the CW is getting old.

   I heard everyone fine on phone.  The KG5 station was banging in good, and I heard Joel well too.  I just sent a CQ on digital.  I agree, the CW dude is a PITA, and he is there often.

I went up there and copied the CW and it turned out to be ARRL sending CW code practice. Crap!!! That sure as Hell isn't going to go away.

We had a good ERIN net last night with six checking in. Great job!

Our digital net was not as good. I take 100% responsibility as when I moved over to 3580 Mhz USB Cont 4/250 my computer was frozen. I could not do anything with it. I had to do a 'hard boot' and let it cycle completely before I finally got on around 1945 Hrs. Of course nobody was there.

Back on December 11th, I sent in my radio to GiGiParts to have the MARS mod activated and received it back late Monday. It came back with the memory wiped so I spent yesterday trying to reconfigure the radio. SSB and digital. Lesson learned - Back up your radio before you send it to any where.  :troutSlap:

Worried that I had reconfigured something wrong, which was why I was not getting anyone on the ERIN digital frequency. So, I went to the AMRRON Digital frequency 3588 Mhz USB at 2000 hrs eastern. At the appropriate time I checked in with, de call/JohnyMac/Penn/No Traff/Code word for the night and viola! The Net Control Station heard me and checked me in.

There you go.

Thank you for all that participated.

73 & God Bless

I have just updated the the phone frequency for next weeks net.

Thank you,
