June Erin Net Tuesday June, 29, 2021
« on: May 26, 2021, 09:01:27 AM »
Looking forward I am looking for NCS's (Net Control Station) for both up coming digital and phone ERIN nets. The reason I am reaching out for volunteers are,

> To give folks an opportunity to practice being a NCS,
> For all of us to see how others do the net. We can all learn, and
> I will not be around all the time. Heck, I might get hit by an electric vehicle.  ;)

So far I have one volunteer for phone. Thank you Jackalope! If you would like to volunteer, PM me here at UP.

 
Here is the SOI for this coming Tuesday's net.

The next ERIN net will be Tuesday June 29, 2021, 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 will commence.

Primary         7.110 Mhz USB Contestia 4/250 1000 on the Waterfall
Alternate       3.588 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, etc/weather/de your call

2) At 2000 hrs the voice net will commence.

Primary         7.238 Mhz LSB or higher till clear air
Alternate       3.968 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 interwize is taken down through Executive Order -- Assignment of National Security and Emergency Preparedness Communications Functions.

73 & God Bless,
Johnymac

Well, its 5:45 PM and the wife just came into the hobby room and said, "We can go out and eat if you want." Hmmmm ...... What are the odds that we'll be back in time for the ERIN net? I'd say, Slim to None. :facepalm:

I got lucky and got back from supper about 3 minutes before the net. It was a good net tonight. I could hear everyone just fine.

Here is my AAR on this evenings net.

Digital we had 4 folks who checked in including me. Nobody other than I gave a report. I worry that I scared folks off LOL.

Phone net we had 4-folks too. I heard all pretty good.

I guess with the sun setting later and the weather nice, folks forget to check in.

Thanks to all that checked in.

73 & God Bless

I heard everyone pretty well.  There was a good bit of atmospheric noise at my location, but it wasn't horrible.

A lot of storms in the area today, so probably won't be on the air tonight.  Would at some point like to take another shot at NCS on the digital net if you still need folks for that.  Just, you know, not today.  I learned my lesson with lightning... :))

Ahem... uh, gentlemen...   might this be bumped back an hour (or three)?    I live in Arizona (you might not know that but any alphabet agency interested enough to monitor one more cell of Biden's "Greatest Threat" knows not only where I live but what kind of toothpaste I buy...).
My CCrane ain't picking much up (only have the short reel antennae that came with it).
Fixing to try a 100ft + of 20 gauge stranded run up the hill to ridgeline but still...
What is the farthest you guys are reaching out (in OK atmospheric conditions)?
Anybody know of other check-in frequencies/times further out west?
Thanks!

DUE TO A PARKS ON THE AIR STATION PARKED ON 7.238 MHZ LSB, THE NET THIS EVENING WILL BE ON 7.240 MHZ LSB WHICH IS CLEAR AT THIS POSTING.

THERE ARE A LOT OF THUNDER CLOUDS FROM WESTERN TENN TO THE CANADIAN BORDER. IF YOU ARE CHECKING IN ON PHONE, I UNDERSTAND IF YOU ARE IN THEN OUT.

Felix, We were having the Phone Net at 7PM Eastern Time and the band was not open enough to be effective. So Johnny moved the Digital to 7 and the Phone to 8 and that seems to work better. Now..... You are on the right track with a longer piece of wire. I'm going to suggest 130' piece of wire for the hot lead and another 130' piece of wire for the ground side. That would be a 160 meter dipole and they seem to work very well on just about any band. Since its a listening antenna, the small gauge is not going to hurt your ability to receive.

Good Net tonight. I heard everyone OK and only had to use 1 filter to hear well. :popcorn:

WH Central Florida station here.  Copied NCS report fine even with static in background.  I was running an off center dipole in NVIS configuration so glad you could hear me.  Storms in the area and storms between our station I suspect.

Felix,

Just curious, is your Crane radio SSB (Single Side Band) compliant? If it isn't, you may make out a word or two but, most of it will be garbage. We are broadcasting on SSB. LSB (Lower Side Band) to be more specific.

Just speaking mind you.  ;)

WOW. June is half through.

Remember, the ERIN net this evening.

Digital at 1900 and phone at 2000 hrs. eastern.

Be there or be square. OK, OK, I am showing my age.  :walkingstick:

I monitored the Digital net. So far I haven't been able to get my hands on a newer version of Ham Radio Deluxe that has the ICOM 7300 listed. For the time being, listening is better than nothing. No, No, No, No, No, I will not pay $100 for the new HDR  program.

I'm all tuned up for the 8PM Phone Net.
