Well, I'm headed back to another hour of Extra prep, someday I'll learn to negotiate a check in or talk?

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By weaponeer1911: No problem, glad to relay. You and NC were both S9+ here in Central Texas, but he couldn't seem to hear you. And I've got lots of T-storms and their noise rolling in. Time to disconnect antennas. You had a solid signal on your relay, but I didn’t hear Ohio_Sharkman that time for a relay. Crazy propagation |

He got 2/3rds of my call on 40m. I could just barely hear him over the noise here. Talked to him on Zello instead...

Are we giving it a try this evening? Finally have transmit capability at my new shack, but 100 watts only into an 80-meter OCF which needs to be higher than it is.
 I've almost finished the new shack I built in my basement, and have made some pleasant contacts in the last day or two. Don't know if I can reach any of you, but would like to try! Cheers...

We'll start on 20 meters at 7:30 - 7:40 PM Eastern and switch to 40 meters for the regular net at 8:00 PM Eastern US.
No license, no radio - no problem. Want to listen to your signal? I'll be "broadcasting" the net on our Zello channel (ARFCOM HAM RADIO channel). Zello is a free app. Works like a web based walkie talkie. Very simple to use. Download and install to your phone. search for ARFCOM HAM RADIO channel and join us. |

Just check into the net tonight. First time on an ARFCOM net since 2007 or 2008. This is the first time I have login to my account since about 2014. Glad I could still get in.
Great sounding net. Net control was +10 over into Miami. Edit I forgot to log off and back on after paying for a membership.
