Okay folks. This coming Tuesday another try at connecting on the ERIN net. Please notice the freq change. There always seems to be a lot of splatter around the freq we use.

Cooter, 75/80-meters will probably not work for you however, if you are game I would be willing to try 40-meters at 1845 hrs ET if you would like to try. Just let me know.

Immediately following the 75-meter net we will try FLDIGI again. We had two folks on that net this past Tuesday.

Ciao

Sure, I'll take a try on 40M at 1845hrs. I'll stick around for the 75M and try that too. Thanks.
Mike

Don't forget, the 75 meter net starts in about an hour. 3.977MHz, digital afterwards, see Johny's post.

Nothing but static on voice, standing by for digital.

Jackalope · « **Reply #104 on:** December 08, 2020, 07:34:21 PM »

The band dropped on voice, after I worked the NCS, not seeing/hearing anyone on digital.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #105 on:** December 08, 2020, 07:38:46 PM »

Nothing here on digital either, last night I was on 3.588 with AMRRON and was getting guys from all over the east.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #106 on:** December 08, 2020, 07:47:02 PM »

way up north.

Name a time, freq and config for digital again. I just spent 20-minutes on digital 3580 cont 4/250 nada.

Closing down for now. Ciao.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit... I was busy doing something and forgot it was Tuesday. Well, maybe next time.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #108 on:** December 09, 2020, 10:31:44 AM »

No worries PK.

We had three folks plus myself on the phone portion of the net. Then about 1905 hrs ET the band collapsed and everyone disappeared. Oh well.

I also spoke with Cooter on 40-meters from Florida. He made it to 75-meters too. Faintly but he was fully readable.

At 1925 hrs ET, I called CQ on 3.580 Mhz, Cont 4/250, 1000 on the waterfall till 1955 hrs ET then threw in the towel shut things down and turned on Tucker.

Next Tuesday I will not be available for the 1900 hr ET net. I will be doing the Zoom amateur radio class to up grade to the EXTRA class that I reported on earlier in another post here. So, I need a net control volunteer.

Let the group know here is you volunteer.

Take care folks.

Mrs. wayupnorth just pointed out to me that there was a geomagnetic storm (CME) on December 7th which was supposed to hit earth from December 9-11.

I wonder if that had anything to do with the terrible conditions Tuesday night?

JohnyMac · « **Reply #110 on:** December 12, 2020, 10:25:30 AM »

Maybe wayupnorth. One second people were there and then boom there was nothing but static.

Any volunteers to be net control next Tuesday?

Jackalope · « **Reply #111 on:** December 13, 2020, 09:06:56 PM »

Sure, I volunteer for Tuesday night, December 15th, at 19:00 Eastern. Frequency will be 3.977 MHz, same as last week. And I'll plan on starting the digital portion of the net at 19:30 Eastern, 3.580 MHz, Cont 4/250, 1000 on the waterfall. I didn't see/hear anyone on the digital portion of the net last week, but this is a new week with hopefully improved propagation.

Thank you Jackalope for stepping up (I'm not there yet) and thanks JohnyMac for all you do.

Jackalope · « **Reply #113 on:** December 15, 2020, 10:54:57 AM »

Don't forget the net this evening at 19:00 ET, 3.977 MHz. Digital net to follow.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #114 on:** December 15, 2020, 10:59:56 AM »

Thank you Jackalope for stepping up to be net control this evening while I take my class.

Jackalope · « **Reply #115 on:** December 15, 2020, 12:31:05 PM »

It's a pleasure, Johny. Good luck on getting the Extra upgrade!

Jackalope · « **Reply #116 on:** December 15, 2020, 06:57:09 PM »

Calling now, looking for check-ins!

wayupnorth · « **Reply #117 on:** December 15, 2020, 07:02:38 PM »

I'm listening on 3.977 LSB

pkveazey · « **Reply #118 on:** December 15, 2020, 07:16:20 PM »

Me too but I just got back with a Pizza and its 7:15

wayupnorth · « **Reply #119 on:** December 15, 2020, 07:17:33 PM »

Sorry guys but nothing heard on my end, standing by on 3.580 USB for digital.

Jackalope · « **Reply #120 on:** December 15, 2020, 07:26:28 PM »

Phone didn't work too well. The band was wide open prior to the net, and then the band shut down, just like a switch. Going to try digital now.

Gorlo · « **Reply #121 on:** December 15, 2020, 07:28:53 PM »

Jackalope, did you start calling voice net at 4:57pm? 1900 hrs is 7pm as I'm sure you know. I tuned in at 7pm and didn't hear anyone.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #122 on:** December 15, 2020, 07:32:36 PM »

Gorlo, it was 6:57, you may have to go into the forum settings and adjust your time zone, I had to.

Jackalope · « **Reply #123 on:** December 15, 2020, 08:54:56 PM »

I started at about 18:55 ET, 17:55 CT. No joy on digital either. Sooner or later propagation will improve. Johny might have better luck, since I'm about 700 miles or so south of Johny in central TN. I definitely could hear more folks at my old QTH in the Adirondacks.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #124 on:** December 16, 2020, 04:48:01 PM »

I'm in the ADK's and have been getting lots of gobbly gook on digital and nothing coming thru voice, last spring I could hear Johnny and some of you, maybe its the time of year? Oddly on Mondays AMRRON net I'm picking folks up.
