Congrats!
A net sounds like a good idea! So, it really was AR-Jedi's fault?! Let's petition to ban him.  This forum cost me at least $15,000 in the last 5 years. I would not trade it for all the tea in China though...

If I can be near the rig, I'd be glad to try HF on the second.
And this IS a great forum, full of knowledge and entertainment! Thanks to everyone for keepin' the pot stirred! Cheers... Jim |

Not sure I can reach all the way out to the west coast with my temporary rig, but I can get as far west as KC and North Texas pretty easily. (Haven't put my OCFD back up from Field Day yet. Running a ZS6BKW hoisted up on a not quite tall enough Harbor Freight flapgpole

What do you guys think about a SSB net 1 hour after the standard digital net?
Digital net @ 00:00z (20:00 ET) SSB Net @ 01:00z (21:00 ET) We just need someone in a good central location to run the SSB net. Any volunteers? As for a band, is 20M still fairly reliable for the East coast guys at that time? |

I'm pretty central, and 20m is doable, but there's a chance may be busy on Wednesday
If I can reschedule I'd be happy to help. |

Hopefully the bands will be cooperative. Last couple of weeks, they sucked. This weekend wasn't too bad, though. I was doing digital with a guy in Mew Mexico on 20m and 40m was busy as well.
Hope for the best, have your amp warming up. (Wish I had one...)

I haven't replaced my main HF antenna yet but I tossed a little PAR End Fed 20m wire in a tree yesterday. I was getting out fairly well when I tested with FT8 & JT65. I will give it a shot. The antenna is only rated for 100W, so hopefully the band will accommodate us.

Storms pending on Wednesday here in NE IL, but if the weather cooperates, I can assist as well. I'm only working patio portable, though 100W and a linked dipole on 40/30/20 at 25' is all I have to work with.

If I can make it, I will. I'm in the middle of a few renovations around the place, and have two younger kids. Haven't really given the Alpha 78 a good workout yet.

Thanks! Just picked it up for $500. It's the -S not the -SG, but I'm happy. It was from a smoker though, so a thorough cleaning was in order. I figured some outdoor air would help, so I spent most of the weekend using it from the patio. ** Wednesday night I'm game guys. Come on Olivia, don't let me down. ** |

I can make an attempt at net control for the SSB net. There is still a chance of storms here in NE IL. I'll probably just work from the truck but with a dipole up on the mast.
Is there a preamble I should use, or just a generic one? I'll be logging with the N3FJP net logger. |

It hasn't started yet.
There is a San Diego station on 14.260.0, though. He's been there for a while. Someone on 14.283.0, too, but I can't make out who it is. |
