Unchainedpreppers net Mar. 16, 2018
« on: March 13, 2018, 08:29:53 PM »
I chatted with NCScout via email today concerning our Sunday Net. He encouraged us to try again and was hoping we would try again this coming Friday March 16, 2018. He is doing an advanced RTO class and will be in the thick of it Friday night.

So here is the SOI for a UP Net this coming Friday night.

 SOI:

The purpose of this net is to enjoy the fellow-ship of like minded hams covering NE, Mid & Southern Atlantic regions and to test our equipment. Below are dates, times and a P.A.C.E.

Time:            0000 Hrs. UT Saturday March 17, 2018 (2000 Hrs. EDT Friday March 16, 2018)

Primary:         3.863Mhz
Alternate:      3.863 Mhz + .003 Mhz till we have clear air (3.866, 3.869, 3.871, et cetera
Contingency: 1.960 Mhz + .003Mhz till we have clear air
Emergency:   Go to Unchainedpreppers.com > Communications > Radio >  Amateur Radio 
                     Unchainedprepperts NET, Mar 16, 2018 Post and pass written messages via
                     the forum. If you are not a member of UP no worries as you will still be able to
                     read traffic. 

Call Signs:      Use your existing FCC call sign. I will call CQ using Unchained along with my call
                      sign - KC1***

Comments:    This will start out as a directed net then become a round robin net. No specific
                      topics will be covered, however, if you want to suggest one please do so ahead
                      of time via this subject line or when you check in.

                       For an emergency, I know some folks have suggested CW or internet Comms. I think it is a good idea however I am
                       just not there yet.


I hope that ya'll can attend.
73,
JohnyMac

I will try to make it again. Maybe a topic could be, what kind of radio, power used and antenna are you using to make the net?

We are talking on the default frequency - I think about 5 of us are able to make contact.

b-c, I use to live over in Hoosick Falls, and kept my plane at the Bennington Airport.  Nice to meet up with you on 75 meters.

We had six folks on this evening's net Freq. 3.863Mhz.

We had a few others BUT the band was wacky and was unable to bring 'em in.

For you folks who made the net, what can we change to get more folks from the forum.

Cool Dorton.

I am glad you heard us.

We had one guy from Florida but we lost him into the noise.

Thx for checking in.  :thumbsUp:

I logged on to the net as a guest (before joining the forum).
I was able to establish comms with Net Control and transmit some info, but the band kind of faded out on me.  My 80/40M dipole is rigged for NVIS, and is only up about 20 feet, so I was surprised I even got through.  Next time I may try to rig up a slanting dipole and aim it at PA.
It was fun and I'm looking forward to trying again.

Ah cooter that KN4*&% station was you  :pirateThumbUp: Cool beans.

Yeah, I heard ya' at about a 5/6 then you dropped into the weeds  :'(

NCScout of Brushbeater.com fame will be on the air this coming Saturday night at 2000 hrs. I will see if we have a large enough group to do a impromptu net.

Stay tuned for the SOI.
