So marking this. I will gladly check in and if we have a digital net that one too.
Just need to get coax run from windom to the inside. I have the cable but cant come thru the floors anymore since we have new floors. LOL |

Gents: will be away on business travel this Tuesday so no check-in for me and, more importantly, I will not be able to run the digital net at 2200. Maybe next week!

On friday I assembled the new 100 ft tower that will replace our clubs 140 ft tower that was destroyed by a tornado in June. Some other members were supposed to run the coax on it yesterday. Looks like we will have the antennas on it and set it the beginning of next week. |

I haven't tried too hard, but I couldn't lock in their frequency when I did try. Oh wait, you said QRN. I just have some bad QRM. |

OK, heard a guy talking about amps for a while. Who was that?
He was talking about a 3-tube model (assume he was talking about the Ameritron AL-811) and 4-tube model (AL-811H). And 600 watts being just enough to get you up over the noise, but legal limit getting RF into other electronics. Yada yada. I was only hearing that side of the contact. Could not hear the other side at all. ~ AFM |

Still a little new to this, so I'm still working out trying to track who's who on a net. With so much noise sometimes its hard to tell. I'd love to have an Amp, but I think the XYL would bury me with it... |

Tried a couple times right before you guys closed the net. I guess I was down in the static crashes.
BigDaddy said he could just make a voice out. 
I know my ant. is low enough for NVIS on 75 Central IL to IN should be easier than this. <sigh> JB |

You would think. The 75m part of my antenna is probably pointed the wrong way. I'm in SE IN, down towards Cincinasty. The hot leg of my 75m antenna is pointed right at bigdaddy in Indy, and I couldn't hear him nearly as well as km or k9bob. I might swing that leg a little to the north and see what happens. If the static wasn't so bad maybe we could've pulled it off. 40 seemed a lot quieter than 80 tonight before the net anyway. Never did hear the capt... |
