Nice talking with you.  Lot's of noise but I could hear you.  Maybe better conditions next time.

Thanks for the contact, noisy here too, hope to catch you again.
 I try to check on this thread on Tuesdays so maybe next time conditions will be better.

That seems to be the case, but I'd love to see it revived.

It seems like there is very little interest in SSB PHONE nets. We tried.
Perhaps some guys are microphone shy and prefer digital modes? Maybe not all have antennas for 80 meters? We can switch to 40 meters and change time and day of the week if it's easier.

The upper part of the 80 meter band kind of sucks. All you hear are little groups of old guys. Some talk non-stop while others spend their time 'holding the frequency". No one hardly ever calls CQ on the phone portion of the band.
Personally, I operate CW, 99% of the time on that band.

We can try again, if you guys want.

Finally trimmed the antenna rod on the 6BTV to tunne into 3.700 range, and the Drake MN-7 getting me at least into 3.800 territory, so would definitely like to give a SSB net on 80 (around 3.800 or lower) or anywhere on 40/20/15

I'll be monitoring at 2130 EDT, just need the band/ freq - 3.805 or 7.180 would be ideal, but I can try to tune higher on 80m - good to go anywhere on 40m.

We tried. I can't understand why but most members prefer digital mods. Perhaps it's because of antenna restrictions or some guys are just microphone shy.

I'm game if we get enough people interested. We should probably start a new thread. Something like: "Weekly SSB Net".  It doesn't have to be on Tuesday. Maybe Saturday night works better for most participants.

I'm back into my ham phase now so let's take advantage of it while we can lol

I'd be up for a weekly net. Even if it's some sort of wellness check. My local club has a VHF wellness net daily. Checking up on everyone and making sure no one is in critical need of anything.
