I'm listening and can just barely hear voices. Hmmmmm.... Maybe I'll do better on 80 meters in a few minutes.

I heard very weak voices at 7.236 Mhz. Ooops... I had to edit that post.

OK, I'm listening at 3.970. Is that where the Net is supposed to be?

wayupnorth · « **Reply #78 on:** November 17, 2020, 07:25:30 PM »

I'm on 3.975 LSB right now, the Bravo net, it officially starts at 1930 (7:30pm), not hearing anything but static

wayupnorth · « **Reply #79 on:** November 17, 2020, 07:45:00 PM »

On digital, 3.580 USB, standing by

OKie Dokie.... I copied the Contestia 4/250 stuff just fine. The CW guy up the band drove me nuts though. I turned my Auto Notch Filter on and turned the beeps into clicks.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #81 on:** November 17, 2020, 07:57:38 PM »

I was getting bits and pieces.

I called out 3 times on the digital net in response to JM's CQ call. I think the first two times I wasn't heard. Also when I did get a response it was only a partial copy. There were 2 other stations that I heard, one being Way up North the other a station in NJ. I thought I would also point out that the 80 meter band has been going long around 6:30pm L. Before your net I was on Winlink P2P with another NY station on 80 meters at 6pm L. Very good copy until 6:30 then the bottom dropped out and we could not connect. Also have noticed on the Amrron NY net that around 7pm when we have the net, lately we have good copy on stations in the south and midwest but cannot pick up other NY, PA or NH stations. If this continues you might want to consider having the digital net earlier, say 6pm.

I was monitoring the Digital Net and I heard FWU, IOZ, and IOU. All 3 came up clean on my display.

With all the CONTESTERS screwing up Ham Radio with their $10,000 radios and "How many useless contacts can I make while ruining it for everyone else", I'm almost looking forward to the collapse so they will all go away and real communications can start to take place.

Jackalope · « **Reply #85 on:** November 23, 2020, 09:50:56 AM »

Yeah PK, contesters do foul up large portions of the bands during many weekends. It does add an additional level of frustration when you can't find a clear spot to have a simple conversation. It would be nice if the contest organizers would limit operation to a tighter bandwidth, but I doubt that's going to happen. Still waiting for propagation to significantly improve...

Contesters remind me of the wild Geese that walk single file all around Mall areas. Yep, they're allowed to block traffic and piss everybody off and the drivers are not allowed to run over them. Its just another one of life's painful moments that we all must endure.

Jackalope · « **Reply #87 on:** November 24, 2020, 06:46:01 PM »

Listening on 7.238 MHz, not hearing much yet.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #88 on:** November 24, 2020, 06:50:49 PM »

Listening

Jackalope · « **Reply #89 on:** November 24, 2020, 07:05:52 PM »

Well, I've been calling on 7.238, but no contacts. Hopefully, 75 meters will be more productive.

wayupnorth · « **Reply #90 on:** November 24, 2020, 07:33:04 PM »

Nothing on voice, standing by on digital 3.580 USB, Cont 4/250 1000 WF

pkveazey · « **Reply #91 on:** November 25, 2020, 01:33:58 AM »

Dammit, dammit, dammit. I forgot all about the net tonight.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #92 on:** December 01, 2020, 11:14:17 AM »

OK PK, set your timer now so you do not miss this evenings net. LOL

pkveazey · « **Reply #93 on:** December 01, 2020, 03:57:19 PM »

Hah! 5 minutes ago I was just telling the wife that I was going to try to catch the ERIN net tonight at 7. What frequency? +- 7.238 or +- 3.870.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #94 on:** December 01, 2020, 06:44:17 PM »

3.975 Mhz LSB Be there or be square.

There is a net on that Freq now but they are generally off by 1900 hrs. local

JohnyMac · « **Reply #95 on:** December 01, 2020, 06:58:02 PM »

on 3.976 Mhz

JohnyMac · « **Reply #96 on:** December 01, 2020, 07:23:48 PM »

My computer shut down and now I am restarting it. Patience grass hopper.

pkveazey · « **Reply #97 on:** December 01, 2020, 07:55:57 PM »

Well, I was glad that I got through on the voice net. I fired up the Computer for Digital and saw FWU trying to contact IGF. Voice net was fading a lot and Digital just plain sucked.

cooter · « **Reply #98 on:** December 02, 2020, 09:47:12 AM »

I was on, but couldn't hear anything clearly. I thought I might have heard JohnyMac calling CQ one time, but maybe it was my imagination.
Mike

JohnyMac · « **Reply #99 on:** December 02, 2020, 11:06:39 AM »

We had a total of three folks for voice and one for digital.

No worries, we will try again next Tuesday. Be there or be square.
