ARFCOM, WEEKLY SSB (PHONE) NET. --Tuesdays @ 8:00 PM EST on 40m. See first post for the latest info. (Page 7 of 208)

Ok, it took a bit longer. I had to go through the whole list and was checking each callsign on QRZ for a possible Arfcom symbol. I had to guess several times. I probably missed several member's check-ins. Sorry if this happened. Please PM me or post a reply and I'll gladly include you into the list. One station from Colorado, gave me a screen name: Glock-something. Please PM me with your info. Station from Colorado Springs, I must have written your scree name wrong. Let me know the correct name. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arfcom members who checked into the net: Kekoa Weaponeer1911 AA777888-2 Derek45 LTsetme SCWolverine UMDRanger Bluedog1971 Justinbowser Timmy668 NAM Stanprophet Alembic BJDFL53 Ricklaut CatskillDraht cjk MyOtherGlock Planemaker Total: 19.

The pileup was a bit unexpected. It usually happens when propagation opens into Europe/Asia. They just kept calling, even after I stated that it was - ARFCOM net. I hope we all learned valuable lessons and had fun. Lets try again. I'll try to correct my mistakes and will definitely ask for screen names, even if it takes longer to check in. |

As was proposed earlier, an many agreed, our next net is today, Tuesday 3/24/20 at 20:00 ET on 40m. Net TODAY, Tuesday, March 24th, at 8:00 PM ET. Primary Frequency: 7.213 Mhz Secondary Frequency: 7.285 Mhz, +/- QRM +/- QRM means that we may be slightly above or below the scheduled frequency if the frequency is already in use or there is a QRM on it. Usually it takes at least 3 kHz to move away from a station's bandwidth. So, check at least 3-10 Khz above and 3-10 kHz below the frequency. I will update the frequency here if needed but please, get used to searching near the scheduled frequency. It's a very important skill for emergency communications. |

It will be interesting to see what this evening brings. I am 50/50 on making the net. The day is already shot with probably about 4 hours of snow removal to do right away  |

The day is already shot with probably about 4 hours of snow removal to do right away His means of checking via QRZ isn't going to net a ton. Heck, my page is still blank so I wouldn't show on the list (I wasn't on that net but should be tonight). |
At this point in time, are you of the opinion that nothing that's come out about Andy or his wife should be looked into in regards to conflict of interest, or, regarding his wife, quid pro quo shenanigans?

Extremely impressive any way you slice it. I'm going to try and get in tonight with my daughter. She thinks it's neat. |
There are hundreds of reasons to own a gun but it’s mostly the reasons I can't think of that make me glad to have them.

Guys, this time I'll make sure to get all screen names, unless you don't want to give it out. Just say - "No screen name". It's no problem. We will try to come back to each station at least once. It'll be nice to get a situation report from each area but feel free to share anything you want. Question: Should I explain over the air what Arfcom is and where to find us? |

I wouldn't. But that's just me. I occasionally check in to the ERPN USA net, they're of a similar mind as people here for the most part. Last night some douche kept trying to interfere with the net, calling everyone Nazis, talking over people, etc. Eventually he went away after everyone just ignored him. I shouldn't be, but I'm still amazed at how hateful leftists can be. |

That by itself is not a bad thing, but it does have great potential to turn this good forum, into a QRZ type of forum. I won't be there, as I will be trying my luck in the SKCC, straight key sprint. |

Question: Should I explain over the air what Arfcom is and where to find us? I'd just call it "arfcom: an online group of HF enthusiasts" somthing simple and ambiguous. |
