June 2022 ERIN NET SOI
« on: June 05, 2022, 01:59:28 PM »
Here is the SOI for this coming Tuesday's net. Based on propagation predictions June's digital net will move to 75/80-meters and phone net will stay on 40-meters. Digital will be 3.588 USB and phone will be 7.254 Mhz LSB or higher till we find clear air. Each net I will post the frequency we end up on for phone.

The next ERIN net will be Tuesday June 28, 2022, starting at 1900 hrs. eastern with the digital ERIN net. The PACE for that net is as follows,

1) At 1900 hrs. eastern the digital net (I am on frequency at 1850 hrs eastern) will commence.

Primary           3.588 Mhz USB Contestia 4/250 1000 on the Waterfall
Alternate         7.110 Mhz USB Contestia 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 check-in's this is the reporting format,

de your call/name/location/emergency traffic/ de your call

Once the NCS has gathered check-in's he/she will post the check-in's for corrections or additional check-in's.

The NCS will then start the reports portion of the digital net. Report format will be,

de your call/name/location/traffic if any/your report for around your AO, Covid, unrest, military movement, petrol/diesel prices, inventory depth/outs, food prices, etc/weather/de your call

Please make sure your RXId button at the top right of your Fldigi screen. This allows folks to send their report via Flmsg. Probably, in the future, we will send reports via Flmsg as it is faster and you can save reports to your computer. Time to get familiar with the mode.

Suggestion...Pre type out your report then copy & paste it to your FLdigi when it is your time to give your report.

2) At 2000 hrs (I am typically on frequency at 1950 hrs. eastern) the voice net will commence.

Primary         7.254 Mhz LSB or higher till clear air
Alternate       3.807 Mhz LSB or higher till clean air
Contingency  This email thread
Emergency    Text. Do I have your cell phone number?

The above SOI will be used at first, if the interwiz is taken down through Executive Order -- Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions. Then we will develop and share a revised SOI.

As we move into a new propagation season, I will have available a new ERIN SOI for when the interwize goes down or other drama occurs that causes a breakdown in normal communication. If you would like a copy of that SOI, please drop me a PM and I will send to you.

73 & God Bless,
Johnymac

Voice net is on 7273LSB   Johnymac has a LOUD signal here in coastal Virginia


JM and I chatted back and forth with me testing/using, my hand-held, tiny 3 Watt signal coming from my Uber Portable rig in the attached picture. It works CW/LSB/USB on 80, 60, 40, 30, and 20 meters bands and also a general coverage receiver for shortwave broadcasts (tune to zerobeat using SSB). I highly recommend it as a back-up and for portable operation.

I hate thunderstorms  :lmfao:

All good folks.

With no digital check-ins this evening and less and less every week: Do we need to drop that mode from the ERIN net? Based on folks input I switched back to 75-meters (3.588 Mhz).

Please advise.

73 & God Bless.

I'm not sure that dropping the digital altogether is a good idea. It might be very useful when the SHTF. Right now its more of a novelty and gives the guys some practice using it. I usually copy the Digital net even though I can't figure out how to make my IC 7300 transmit it without spending $100 for the paid version of Ham Radio Deluxe. I've got FL Digi and I can't make it work on that either.

    I agree with PK, it could be useful during the coming kinetic activities.  The populace is being pushed hard by the Deep State, and sooner or later there will be a reaction.  The introduction of power outages to the mix could make effective communications a necessity.

     Sorry I didn't make the net last night, but we've had 5-6 thunderstorms over the past couple of days, and I was awakened by another one this morning, with more in the forecast for this afternoon and evening.  Our area actually set a daily rainfall total for June 7th,so we're getting pounded.  Looking on the bright side, it's great for the garden, but on the downside my weedwhacker died.  I've been sticking to portable VHF/UHF operations, keeping exterior antennas disconnected until better weather.  So, I'll try again next week.

Great Voice Net tonight!  It led to a bit of discussion with JohnyMac and the swarthy crew and the goodship ERIN. Topics covered were the primary intelligence reporting of fuel prices, COVID and led to a bit about crime trends, gardens,   yeast and alternatives like sourdough and even the NOBLEST use of grain and yeast: BEER BREWING.

A big THANKS to JohnyMac for keeping thiese nets going, organized and for being the ring master for this radio circus.

Good phone net as Sir John Reported. I am glad we had some time to discuss some prepping items other than fuel prices  :thumbsUp:

Digital was a bust. I will blame myself as I was TXing and RXing on the wrong port. When I switched computers (yet again) the new computer kept switching back to an older port  :facepalm:

With the help of OBH for your help!  :cheers:

I was wondering what was up, I was answering you when you were calling CQ before the net. Figured it wasn't a propagation issue  ;). Probably should've contacted you some other way to help diagnose the issue, sorry. I've had an issue lately where my radio stays on the "back" mic port (USB) when I switch from digital to SSB. I was tearing my hair out trying to work some DX until I figured it out, switching between all my mics and headsets.  :facepalm: That's why we do these nets, so we have the problems in practice and hopefully figure them out before we really need comms.

It was another good, informative net.  A big thank you to Johny as NCS and all those who participated.  It's always nice to get information directly from folks throughout the eastern U.S.

I was called-off on a family 'thing', so missed tonight's nets.

COOTER's Report came in via 4 Watt QRP, hand sent Morse/CW. His QRP rig fits in a shirt pocket and can operate on a 9 volt batttery if necessary. Antenna is a common dipole, and therefore, it is too large for a common shirt pocket unless you are VERY clever. Why practice with low power and simple rigs? If the grid drops, low power consumption and simplicity will become critically important. Morse code is gluten free, so you can't have too much of it.

DE COOTER

COVID 23
GAS 4.70 GAL
ALL IS WELL. 
REMAINING IN PLACE.

Ps.  Keep spare radio and electronics in a well sealed can , or reasonable substitute.  It can't hurt and might even help.
