We're going to try 40M this week -- while 20M worked pretty well at the start of the net last week it really wasn't working too well by the end of the net and we're getting to that time of year. Hopefully even if 40M is weak it works the whole way through. We'll see! ETA: First reminder out at 2330Z. ETA #2: As a reminder it's 7120 KHz, like in the thread title, since I haven't seen anyone tuning up so far. |

I'm betting the bands are going to be useless. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/communities/radio-communications |

I have sorta-clear skies at the moment so all good here. At 3.21 inches of rain since midnight yesterday, so I got a hella good ground today. |

I seem to hear everyone fine. My SWR is fluctuating. Need to Check all the connections at the tuner outside. I may have gotten some water intrusion with all the rain we got in the recent past. Earlier, when testing, I was able to output 100W no issues.  Now not so much lol. |

It wasn't. Heard everyone pretty well except one, and got almost all of his comments. Thanks for running a really great, orderly, and efficient net! |
