NC was the only station I had readable copy on. Some very scattered partials from one or two other stations on 20.

Yeah, I'm getting maybe 50% with the CW drowning NC out here.

I think you called me but my RX is so choppy I wasn't sure and didn't respond. SNE here.
Weaponeer1911 is strong here. Going to call it a night. |

Looks like 40M got a lot rougher after net time compared to before.
3 official check ins on 40M, plus NMBMXER on 20M. Hopefully things are better next week. |

I'll give 20M a try at 2330Z but it's not critical anyone be there, it's more just to judge if it's worth switching to 20M
and so far the answer to that has been no, and we're practically at the summer solstice. |

I'm struggling here to get good copy on stations I usually hear fine, I have 50% copy on the net warnings. It gets better later in the net, the beginning is rough.

I think that shows that it's related to 40M prop during the day v. night, pretty classic behavior for 40M to get better
as the sun sets (or gets closer to, at least.) Too bad 20M is so flaky. If we had more stations 20M might work better than 40 using relays, but given the thin attendance, 40M it shall be. |

Smaller net but 40M seemed better behaved than last week, imo.
No issues copying anyone at all. Three stations + NC tonight, plus one or more SWLs  Thanks for checking in and listening! |

Hello old friend, nice to see you again:
 Attached File40m has not been been cooperating with me this summer. If I had to NCS I think we'd miss a third of the direct check ins. It was funny tonight, ncs calls Mach and he doesn't reply. I take my turn and immediately I hear the loudest RSID ever, I know who instantly who that is: Mach! |

I'd say conditions were the best they've been for a month or so tonight.
Five stations total + NC, and thanks to NMBMXER for the relay. Hope everyone has a good field day! ETA: I had solid copy on everyone but bigdaddy0004, who was pure ghost print. I didn't even hear tones and the waterfall was clear. It's always spooky when Olivia pulls that off. |

ETA: actually don't know if I heard everybody, I never heard NC so I don't know who was on the net. I am now thinking I didn't hear some others too. |

Smaller net with fairly bad conditions on 40M tonight.
I counted three stations + NC. Propagation deteriorated significantly from pre-net testing by net time. |

I hopped onto JS8 just to make sure that I was able to receive, and that I hadn't messed something up. 40 is doing well for me there.

I should be around to NC tonight. Hopefully the band is better than last week.
ETA: I may have spoken too soon, depending on timing I may miss the warning TXs or the net entirely as I bring home a cat from the vet. ETA2: Yep, I'll be away from the radio during pre- and post-net. So we need a volunteer NC or it can be a free for all. |

My main issue with being a NC for this net is that I am also being a co-net control on our local 2meter simplex net at the same time each Wednesday night. (Because I am up on top of a hill.) I can manage a check-in and short comment on the digital net while I’m listening for folks and relaying calls on FM voice simultaneously, but I wouldn’t be able to concentrate on running the digital net.
