Propagation was pretty good, 100% copy on all.

Five stations + NC this week.

Thanks for running the net! I may stay home tomorrow and work on my antenna instead of fishing...


Nah. I'll do BOTH!

I can hear everyone and copy almost everyone 100%.

Kitty doesn't seem to be too bothered.

Is your station 80M capable?

I've been wanting to test some groundwave stuff and there's a dearth of reverse beacon operations in 80M in AZ to test with.

my junk will tune on 80m, but it may be a dummy load there lol.

I'll be around to NC for this week's net, but I'm not expecting a lot of attendance given the holiday.

Remote chance of thunderstorms but I haven't heard anything yet.

I'll try to be there tonight.  We don't plan on going anywhere tonight (that I know of) (yet).  Things may change, but hope to make it tonight.

Decent prop tonight. We're in the middle of a pretty big storm here but didn't
seem to affect anything at all. No thunder.

Two stations + NC this week.

Merry Christmas, hopefully some of you'll be testing new gear next week!

I'll be around to NC this New Year's Eve, though I'm not expecting much activity, the net last week was a pleasant surprise.

For those of you that SWL, don't forget that this is prime time pirate radio night as well.

I heard NC preamble and calls for checkin. Heard the TX station report. Everything decoded well. I could hear NC response to TX station, came through on waterfall. But, no decode at all. I threw out my report when the NC stopped transmitting. NCs response to me came through well with full decode. Weird.

Turnout was low but higher than zero this week - two stations + NC.

Band was pretty quiet as well and SNRs were good on my end.

I should be around to NC. We've got some weather today but so far no thunder is expected.
1/7/2026 8:35:43 PM EDT

Decent net tonight. Propagation seemed a little weak and faded towards the end of the net, but wasn't a problem.

5 stations + NC this week.

Oh crap, the time changed. I think...

QRM tonight is pretty heavy, once it picked up I started losing 100% copy.

I think I lost one of you, calling for late check ins now but not sure I'll hear weak stations.

[#16]
Right after I checked in there was a LOUD foreign voice SSB signal right above us that wiped everything out.    It was S9+ on my meter and totally screwed up the digital waterfall.

It's still on here, and I never heard anything more of the net.

Did anyone else get wiped out by it?
1/14/2026 8:25:58 PM EDT
[#17]
OK, three stations tonight -- I heard a fourth during the net reminders but never copied him after that.

Light QRM that got a lot heavier as the net progressed about 300 Hz above center didn't help much.

Read above and below your posts.

Yeah, they suck.

I should be around to NC this week. Not sure how well the bands will be doing, but we'll try, if anything can do it, it's Olivia.

I can't make it tonight. Hope all do well this winter weekend.
1/21/2026 7:57:29 PM EDT

So far I heard one weak tuning signal with no decode and nothing else.

I do not have high hopes but we're about to find out!
1/21/2026 8:21:14 PM EDT
[#22]
Very weak band, but we had three stations tonight plus NC. One was pure ghost print, saw the call
but nothing on the waterfall at all and all I heard was hissing.

We'll need a volunteer NC this week and next due to my having work commitments at net time.

1/28/2026 8:32:47 PM EDT

3 check ins plus NC.

Thanks GD!
2/4/2026 1:31:27 PM EDT

As a reminder we need a volunteer NC this week as I'm away for work during net time.
2/4/2026 8:18:36 PM EDT

One plus NC, short net.

Smaller net, 2 stations + NC this week.

The band was really quiet, so quiet here I thought my antenna was disconnected. Made for good SNRs.
2/18/2026 1:41:46 PM EDT
[#30]
I should be around to NC this evening, provided I have power -- in a blizzard at the moment and had a few drops so far.
2/18/2026 8:05:32 PM EDT
[#31]
Calling for check ins with no responses so far.
2/18/2026 8:27:30 PM EDT

Quiet band again, minor QRM from south america before net but no real issues.

Propagation was pretty good.

3 stations + NC this week.
2/25/2026 11:06:50 AM EDT
[#33]
We'll need a volunteer NC this week as I'll be tied up with work at net time. Should be clear for a least a month after this, fortunately.
2/25/2026 8:30:21 PM EDT

3 stations plus NC

I should be present to NC this week, thankfully my heavy work is done  for this quarter.
3/4/2026 8:04:41 PM EDT
[#36]
T-storms w/ lightning in my area so antennas are disconnected, so I'm out this week.  Hopefully be back next week.
3/4/2026 8:06:00 PM EDT
[#37]
I saw one of you in the buffer pre-net, but no one has come back to the first call so far.

3/4/2026 8:18:21 PM EDT
[#38]
Really small net this week (one station + NC) and band seemed pretty weak.
3/4/2026 8:19:36 PM EDT
[#39]
Thanks for the net! Band seemed weak here too.

Storms rolled through the entire evening

We have storms here, but I hope to make the net. If you live in a DST area, remember the time of the net changed!
3/11/2026 7:08:58 PM EDT
[#42]
For once I remembered time zones changed and reflected that in the thread title.

I think it's easier to just remember it's 0000Z all year long.

I will be around to NC this week, if anyone shows up!
3/11/2026 7:23:30 PM EDT
[Last Edit: weaponeer1911][Edited] [#43]
With the time sched change I didn't get to be home in time for net.  I'll try to schedule better next week!

ETA:  I might make it afterall!
3/11/2026 7:47:07 PM EDT
[#44]
I won't make it tonight, wrapping up some work.
3/11/2026 8:22:28 PM EDT

Band was meh but Olivia did her thing as usual.

2 stations + NC this week.
3/18/2026 11:34:20 AM EDT
[#46]
I should be around to NC this week's net. Hopefully conditions are a little better than last week.

We're probably not too far from needing to switch to 20M as well.

I won't be able to make it tonight.  Birthday dinner with family.

Happy Birthday, I am trying out a new radio and will be on the net.

I've seen signals from someone that aren't decoding. Looks like Olivia but has some strange hot spot in the middle of the 500 Hz signal.
