March 2022 ERIN Net SOI
« on: February 24, 2022, 12:32:14 PM »
Here is the SOI for this coming Tuesday's net. The March phone net frequency will now be 3.807 Mhz LSB or higher till we find clear air. Last week we ended up on 3.815 Mhz as I was splattering over onto net at 3.810 Mhz.

The next ERIN net will be Tuesday March 29, 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, etc/weather/de your call

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         3.807 Mhz LSB or higher till clear air
Alternate       7.251 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.

73 & God Bless,
Johnymac

OK, I'm listening for the Phone net. What Frequency? 3.810 is tied up and 3.816 is tied up. Can we squeeze in at 3.813?

I turned my notch off at one point and it almost took my head off! I actually made a recording of it with the notch off and on. Whatever it was wiped most of the distant signals. Closer folks I could hear well without any issues. Good reports, thanks for running the net JM! I apparently had a senior moment, I had fldigi up and running and the radio on and tuned. Oh well, I got most of the reports to read at my leisure!  :dancingBanana:

Yea, it was like a Massive Phase Shift and it was really loud. I tried every trick in my magic book but I couldn't kill it and then there was a strong Tuner Upper to contend with. I finally got through to Net Control though.

  I could hear the NCS initially, but QRM eventually covered him up.  I'm looking forward to when the net returns to 40 meters.

Bwahahahha....... I finally got enough strength up to work on my 160 meter dipole. I'm puffing and blowing but I fixed that SOB. It was nothing more than the center pin that you solder the hot leg to in the coax connector broke off. I put a new connector on there and took the strain off the wire so it shouldn't happen again. I came in the house and put the coax switch on the 160 meter dipole and now it works on every band. Now, I have no more nagging tasks that need doing until I set up the solar system.

I monitored the digital net tonight. I got 95% of all the messages sent. I'm tuned up and waiting for the 8PM Phone Net. :popcorn:

Working out kinks in the setup on the Doomsday Laptop. Receiving fine now, will try to check in and report if there's another call. Otherwise will be on voice.

Limited copy on NCS. Started good and then decode went away towards the middle/end.
Only one other station heard. Band God's were not kind tonight on my end anyway.

Thx for trying 240Geezer!  :cheers:

Good net tonight. Nine on digital and 12 on voice.

For the most part all is calm. Petrol ranges from $4.49-ish down to $4.15-ish. Price are dropping since last week 5 to 10 cents a gallon.

Shelves are full, few outs however, prices are up and one checkin mentioned that their was restrictions on how much meat they could buy.

Military movements were minor unlike last week where it seemed that the Army was repositioning assets.

Last, it seems that the weather is changing for the better.

till next week,
73 and God Bless

From coastal Virginia: excellent copy of Cooter on forty meter QRP CW just before net, digital net was excellent and voice net was very good, other than the splatter from neighboring stations who think that 'the higher the meters bounce, the better.'. Such is the nature of HF voice.

Thanks for organizing these nets. Especially in these times, it's good to have options and direct eyes-on reporting of conditions in surrounding areas.

Good net tonight. I monitored the Digital net and then checked into the Phone net. I was making Brown rice all at the same time. If anybody is interested, I add a dash of salt, a dash of Black pepper, and a couple of cap fulls of Apple Cider Vinegar. Don't forget to shake it up first because you're supposed to get some of the "Mother" that is laying on the bottom of the bottle. Then, after I pour off all the water and starch, I dump it onto a pile of chopped up really strong Cheddar Cheese. I add all that stuff so it doesn't taste like wet cardboard.
