I copied your 5 minute about 40%.
Copy on Nmbmxer 100%. That's all I'm hearing. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By KB7DX: Thank you seek2! I hear you 100% but only about 30% of NC. Prop is strange, I'm assuming I'm hearing you via groundwave. Crazy since there's a half dozen mountain ranges between us. ETA: I head nothing for the relay, not sure if you tried or I just didn't hear you. Band got real quiet and then suddenly came back as well so it might have been then. |

I think I see DX on the screen but the noise level here
went nuts. I think the neighbors must have a plasma TV or something that generates a ton of noise from time to time. Ahh. City living.

Thankfully plasma TVs are almost all gone. I remember how bad it used to be.
My noise floor is zero unless one of the neighbors runs whatever QRM machine they have, I think it might be a battery charger. Considering there's only a half dozen places within a half mile whatever it is has to be way out of FCC compliance. ETA: Hearing CO BULLSEYE super loud here, probably enough to overcome a plasma TV. |

Great net. Glad Seek's signal came up, it went from 0% to 100%. One station was relayed in, but we were unable to hear him at report time. Another station checked in, but wasn't heard at report time.
A new station checked in, welcome. 8 total checkins plus NCS for 9. |

In this case, it's refused to decode it AT ALL. That 50% was where it at least recognized CW, even though it gave me gibberish. Or Swedish, I couldn't tell the difference most times. Finally got the sound card input right where it's doing CW at about 70% accuracy now, but i have to constantly fiddle with the squelch level. |

I should be able to NC this week. I can't guarantee anyone will hear me, though.
Slight chance I might be late for the countdown, but I should be back by net time. No thunderstorms the past few days so I should be good. I've done a ton of antenna upgrades this past week, and hoping one last bit of equipment shows up before the net -- but I should have a much better signal all things being equal. |

Prop looks better than last week on my end.
FYI after the upgrade the tuner (when it cooperates, which it wasn't earlier) can get a 1:1 SWR and everything is running at 200W without causing troubles. I have one more thing to do and I should be able to run my amp to its limit without RF in the shack if my suspicions are right. Anyway... 200W right now. |

Thanks for the report, I saw your 18:30 CDT net warning but was filling my comment buffer at the time. The print is all there. The "A" index is at 5 but the "K" is down to Zero so we'll have good conditions for the net.
