ERIN/Unchainedpreppers Net Sunday October 13, 2019
« on: October 02, 2019, 11:23:25 AM »
It's that time of the month again, the ERIN/Unchainedpreppers Net!

As usual, the net will be the second Sunday of the new month. For you Pocahontas followers that means Sunday October 13, 2019. The time and PACE will be posted on or about October 9th.

Looking at the propagation predictor, it looks like 1900 hrs on 75/80-meters. So there is plenty of time to get your 75/80-meter antenna up before that date. I won't point fingers; YOU ALL KNOW WHO YOU ARE!  :troutSlap:

This coming Sunday, October 13th is this months ERIN/Unchainedpreppers net. Below is the PACE. Remember, the folks who only have a Short Wave radio that is SSB compliant, can play too. Tune your radio ahead of time and listen. The SW radio frequency's are posted to right of the PACE.

The propagation predictor is attached to this email.

1900 hrs eastern - Mode phone     SW Radio Frequency's 1900 hrs eastern
P= 3.963 Mhz LSB                                    3963 Khz
A= 3.818 Mhz LSB                                    3818 Khz
C= Unchainedpreppers on this thread no need to sign-up you can see as a guest
E= Text. If I do not have your number drop a dime and give it to me.

Rules of engagement:
1) Let me know here if you are going to be attempting to join the net.

2) I will be on the air about 15-minutes before the start of the net collecting early check-ins

3) The agenda for the first round;
     > Any traffic you have to pass,
     > Weather update for your area,
     > Any local news that is relevant to preparedness that we all should be aware of,
     > Any help that you, family member, friend, needs, and
     > Offer a subject for those folks who might want to stay and rag chew.

      It will be a round robin net starting with the first person who checks in and going around to all in order
      of checking in back to the first station that checked in. At that time as we go around a second time,
      you can say, "73" and go QRT. It is more important that you have an opportunity to check out your
      equipment than to hang and ragchew.

      It is encouraged that if you hear someone and net control doesn't that you act as the "go-between". If
      you hear someone and I obviously do not, say "I have traffic for insert call sign here this is
      insert your call sign here". As an example: "I HAVE TRAFFIC FROM KA7FOX THIS IS KC3LRS". Because
      of propagation we will not hear everybody.

4) Invite like-minded hams that might like to participate. 

5) Have fun!

Looking forward seeing ya' all on the air.
Johnymac

Greetings and Salutations Good Gorlo.  Welcome to this little smidgen of a corner of some cyberthing.

Might want to find the intro place around here and make a note.  I cannot find to point you over.  Yes my computer skills are not good and probably getting worse.

Gorlo, looking forward to you checking in. I received an email from NC Scout earlier and he is planning on attending the net.

Peace be with you two.

   I'll plan on participating.  I've got my dipole up a little bit higher, though it's still not where it should be.

Just a FYI...The Pensylvania QSO party will be finishing up at 1800 hrs. Our net is at 1900 hrs BUT there may be some lingering chatter. As of this writing, there is a little splatter on 3.963 Mhz but we are looking pretty good. Noise level up here in NE PA. on 75/80 Mhz is only around S7 which is not great but better than the other bands.

I will be on frequency around 1845 hrs eastern.  ;D

I'm hearing Johny about 3 x 3.  I tried adjusting filters, which was working okay until a QSO started just above the frequency.

Well thank you Gentlemen for playing.

Yes BC I heard you and Jackalope plus PK joined us and a new contact from the Watertown NY area. The noise was AWFUL here in NE PA and I am surprised as 75/80 was pretty good yesterday until 2000 hrs. At about that time it degraded and i went to 160-meters and it was as clear as a bell.  :facepalm:

I spend yesterday from 1200 hrs local, until 1600 hrs today doing the PA. QSO Party. To be honest it sucked. The only band open was 75/80 and then after 2000 hrs 160-meters. The band just shitted the bed around 1800 hrs local today  :o

Concerning the PA. QSO Party I got 50 out of 67 counties which is not my best BUT not bad concerning propagation....I guess.

People should periodically do contests as I learned a bunch about my radio. I tuned in folks that I might not have QSO'd without the features on my TS 590S.

In closing, my hearing sucks and I am so happy to loose the headphones.  :dance:

73 and God Bless, thank you for playing.

I was on station with my buddy Gorlo, we could hear you JohnyMac quite well. Everyone else was hit or miss, mostly miss.
