March 2023 ERIN Net SOI
« on: February 28, 2023, 09:08:05 PM »
Here is the SOI for this coming Tuesday's net. The December primary phone net frequency will now be 3.964 Mhz LSB up or down the band a few clicks till we find clear air.

The next ERIN net will be Tuesday March 28, 2023, starting at 1900 hrs. eastern with the digital ERIN net. The PACE for that net is as follows,

1) At 1900E hrs. digital net (NCS is usually on frequency at 1850E hrs) 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, 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 ask for a Volun-TOLD to act as back up. They will be the ANCS station.

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, weather, petrol & diesel prices and availability, etc/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. I am also going to encourage sending a SITREP report using AmRRoN's reporting format. More to come on this.

2) At 2000 hrs (I am typically on frequency at 1950E hrs) will commense.
Primary         3.964 Mhz LSB or higher till clear air
Alternate       7.279 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

It was a good phone net tonight. There was some kind of multiple carriers and 2 knukleheads 2 Khz below us but I Notched out the carriers and narrowed my filter to quiet the knukleheads.

Yeah I know. I just do not get it. We were on freq. 30-minutes earlier and yet they had to start their net and splatter 2K north onto us. I just do not get it. Don't folks check before they TX? There is supposed to be 3K separating nets. What ever...

   Yup, I had a decent copy on everyone until the other net started.  I was able to filter them out, but it was still annoying.

The digital net was useful - full copy on all stations.  Earlier, the CW sked with COOTER went well, even with poor band condx.  His MIGHTY 4 Watts are what makes it work ;-)  His rig is about the size of a dack of cards.

I wasn't able to participate in the digital net on Tuesday, but I did read the traffic when I got home.

I would like to make a recommendation if I can. Since I doubt anyone is typing their traffic up on the fly, we should stay in MFSK32 instead of switching back to contestia. While it would be nice to have everyone use FLmsg, regular copy and paste would work and wouldn't be so taxing on those long reports.

Just a thought...

I don't have any problem with the Net operating MFSK 32 for the Digital net. The only thing negative I see is that it takes up a ton of bandwidth. As far as copy goes, either mode seems to be equally fast and readable. If we go with MFSK, just post it on here.  :popcorn:

Just to clarify, the only part that should be in mfsk32 would be our traffic (reports). Everything else would be contestia.

I can not do the beginning of the Phone net tonight as I am collecting weather reports for our storm at 2000E hrs. Can one of you guys be NCS tonight?

If I get done early with the county weather reporting, I will check in.

Please let me know who can do it?

Thanks :cheers:

To use MFSK32 with BLANK FORM

1) Turn on radio and go to appropriate frequency and mode C-4/250 in our case.
2) Launch FLmsg
3) In FLmsg click on forms at the top tool bar and then click on "Blank Forms"
4) The form will launch. Type in or copy & paste from a word doc or other. I type directly in with the
    last line being "End Report"
5) At the bottom of the blank form type in MFSK32 for mode if it is not already in there. If it is not
    already there put check into COMP and then click the drop down menu in the box next to
    COMP and select MSFK32.
6) Click file > Save as and save it as a report with an address like MARCH 14 ERIN REPORT
    and click save in the window that pops up.
7) NCS will automatically switch the net to MFSK32 and when you are called upon to send your
    report click auto send in the top tool bar of FLmsg.
8) Sit back and the computer will do the rest.

Hope that helps.  :thumbsUp:

Last piece of advice - in flmsg, config, ARQ interface: the only thing that should be checked is sync modem to fldigi

I lied - one more. Please, please, please use carriage returns (ie hit the enter button in your tx pane) a few times before sending. Otherwise your text overruns with the gibberish. This makes it harder for NCS/ANCS to get a clear copy of the checkins. Attachment shows the "overrun"

There is a ton of heterodyne at 3.964Mhz. I moved up a bit but found a confab going on on 3.9675. Please post the frequency when you find clear air.
