November 2021 ERIN Net SOI

[FeedingFreedom]

Shoot, I missed your post JM, I would've taken the net. Tuned in at 1840, didn't hear anything until 1915, figured propagation was bad and I couldn't hear anyone. Didn't have much to report other than gas prices going up as normal for the holiday weekend. I have to work Thursday night, so I'll be in the shopping area early in the morning on Friday. Not buying anything this week, but I can see what the crowds are like. I'd expect much lower numbers, thanks to POOPUS and his insane policies.

I have the net preamble and will put it in macros so I'm prepared to be NCS when the need arises.

You rock FF! I don't care what MrsFF says about you. 

The clubs annual raffle ticket drawing was last night. Good take this year. GREAT turn out at last nights meeting too.

I knew that Johhny wasn't going to be available for the net but I tuned in to both the Digital and the Phone. Nope, nothing on either one. Anyway, my report would have been "Same old same old." The only thing odd that I've noticed is "TWINKIES". Where are all the Twinkies? I can't find the 12 pack boxes of individual Twinkies anywhwere. Oh, sure there are a few 2 pack Twinkies here and there but when I want a Twinkie, I just want ONE. I did a bit more sorting of supplies last night and have determined that I'm the most unorganized person on the planet. Why did I find 5 bottles of Liquid Hand Soap in a box full of Raman Noodles? I also found lots of alkaline batteries in another container but I was able to move them into the container that has a ton of other batteries. What? I also found more cigarette lighters. OK, you can never have enough cigarette lighters.

I saw a comment about hieroglyphics when he changed modes tonight.

Make sure you have RXID turned on, if the sender changes modes its a good idea to have TXID on. It should auto sync this way

For those with a "large amount" of traffic, its worth bumping up to MFSK32 (like I should have done). Also, next time, I won't use FLMSG

Good digital net tonight. Even voice net is going well.

I turned the radio and computer on and cop[ied the digital net but the wife sent me to ntown to get supper and it was after 8 when I got back. However, I found the phone net and tried to listen. There was a terrible phase shift going on and I could only hear several stations. Johnny was very hit and miss. I hoped the band would change so I could check in but that didn't happen. Hmmmm..... Maybe next week will be better.

I could hear the NCS fine, and several other stations, however they couldn't hear me, even with the amp.  Quick AO report, temp this morning is 42 degrees, partly sunny. Gas is at $2.97/gallon. No major chinese virus activity, and only a small minority wearing masks.  Was at Wallyworld on Sunday, and there were numerous blank spots, i.e., no waffle/pancake mix, iodized salt, etc.  Retail prices continue to climb, feed prices are increasing about $0.50 per 50 lb. bag each month.
