Things are very confusing. Are we going to start at 7PM with 40 meters and follow up with 75 meters or are we going to only do 3.977 voice followed by 3.580 digital? At the moment, I'm tuned up and ready for voice at 3.877 and its almost 6:45 PM. I'll be listening for anything.

At the moment, somebody is having a conversation on 3.975 so 3.978 looks like a better option unless you like bleedover.

Crap.... Now there is a group checking in at 3.980.

Johny posted that there wouldn't be a net this evening. Try again next week!

LOL PK. Sorry but as Jackalope reported, there was no net last night. I posted it Sunday I think. There will be one on Tuesday December 29th though.

Sorry for any confusion and Merry Christmas.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #131 on:** December 28, 2020, 05:30:59 PM »

NEW Frequency Tuesday night. Check out revised PACE at the beginning of this thread.

pkveazey · « **Reply #132 on:** December 28, 2020, 10:50:38 PM »

OK, the best I can figure out is 3.977 Mhz. LSB. That's where I'll starting to look up and down the band.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #133 on:** December 29, 2020, 09:13:58 AM »

PK, start out at 3.964Mhz.

Thx Brother

pkveazey · « **Reply #134 on:** December 29, 2020, 06:38:48 PM »

OK, its 1840 and I'm listening for whatever happens. So far There are conversations just above and just below 3.964. I hope they clear out before 1900.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #135 on:** December 29, 2020, 06:52:43 PM »

I'm on

pkveazey · « **Reply #136 on:** December 29, 2020, 06:54:16 PM »

There's a net at 3.963 and 3.965. The only clear space I see is around 3.968 and above.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #137 on:** December 29, 2020, 06:54:54 PM »

I am on 3.968. Mhz

pkveazey · « **Reply #138 on:** December 29, 2020, 06:58:51 PM »

Johnny found a clear spot at 3.968. Come one, come all.

I can hear the gentleman giving a weather report, thats all so far, if I heard the call sign correctly he is from tx

wayupnorth · « **Reply #140 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:14:45 PM »

I called out, sounds like someone was trying to relay me

JohnyMac · « **Reply #141 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:21:40 PM »

Thx for checking in Wayupnorth. Got you on relay.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #142 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:23:16 PM »

Awesome! standing by on digital.

Jackalope · « **Reply #143 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:24:53 PM »

I tried three different antennas tonight. Did I hear correctly that there's no digital net tonight?

JohnyMac · « **Reply #144 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:32:34 PM »

CORRECT! No digital tonight. Sorry folks, my digital radio is in AL. being modified. Hopefully i will be back next week.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #145 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:34:46 PM »

Ok, thanks for the update JohnyMac, thanks Jackalope.

Jackalope · « **Reply #146 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:40:49 PM »

Didn't want anyone hanging out on the frequency searching for the net. I could actually hear everyone tonight. The W5 station had a very nice signal. I think next week I'll fire up the amp, to see if that makes any difference.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #147 on:** December 29, 2020, 07:50:38 PM »

If anybody is interested there is an AMRRON digital net on 3.588 at 8PM, Cont 4/250

I gotta know.... What are you using for an antenna?

Jackalope · « **Reply #149 on:** December 30, 2020, 12:40:17 AM »

I was mostly using an 80 meter horse fence dipole. Also tried a multi-band trap dipole, and a vertical antenna too. The horse fence antenna receives very well, and it's very wide banded, so the SWR is flat across 75-80 meters, but it's only up about 30 feet. The vertical is an Eagle One 31' multi band antenna.

I could hear everyone well. The WA2 was weak, but copyable, as was the KN4 station. The 5 land station was the strongest, followed by you, and Johny was in the middle. The signal strength here proportionally corresponded with station distance, I think. I believe the 5 station is closest, followed by PK, though the KN4 station is probably closer to me than Johny.
