We had a total of 22 check ins this week (including the NCS). Most
signals were good all around, except some of the barefoot stations. For
the most part, 80M was in good condition overall. Many thanks to the
relay stations for pulling those stations in and making them part of the
net. Very nice hearing from the new check ins and hope to see all of you
again. The net concluded at 9:44 PM ET.
In spite of the recent frequency change, the turnout continues to be
very encouraging. We ended up on 3810 kHz tonight because there was
another net on 3807 kHz. I asked if 3810 kHz was clear about 850pm, and
a station came back and said that there was a group that met there
starting at 10pm. I said that we would clear off before 10pm and we did
secure the net at 944pm. I did listen to the follow-on net for a while,
and there was considerable discussion about letting a net use 'their'
frequency, and one station was complaining that he couldn't police their
frequency all the time to make sure that it would be free when the group
wanted to use it. Seems this group shows up sometime after dinner time
and talks sometimes until 6am! They also noted that a Flex net came on
earlier on 3810 kHz, and were told by some other station that the
frequency was 'in use', so they moved down to 3807 kHz (which of course,
caused us to move somewhere else).
I've also noted that sometime after the net started that 3803 kHz became
clear. I continue to monitor adjacent frequencies to see if we can find
another one close by that will work better for everyone. In the
meantime we will continue to attempt to meet on 3806 kHz.
Hope to see you next week!
73,
-- Dave, N8SBE
