Good Evening,
Thank you for joining us this evening. It felt good to be back on the
air but I surely need practice :( Sorry about the flubs and such. I will
make sure to set the rig to TEST mode next week and run at 20 wpm until I
get it right.
The second check in was from sunny Waikiki, Hawaii and then off to the
other side of the country with Virginia. Both of these QNI were with
KX1s. Conditions were not as strong as I had experienced on Friday plus
there was some QSB and QRN. Never the less there were a number of folks
willing to brave the heat and humidity to join in.
As I got under way by calling QRL ? Tom greeted me and mentioned I
should QSY. Seems there was a net on frequency who I could hear not at
all. Thank you Mr. Hammond, I don't wish to make a pest of myself by
QRMing others on the band. Thus the net was run on 14051 kHz this
afternoon if you were unable to locate us. That is by my dial so your
numbers may vary.
On 14051 kHz at 2255z:
N0SS - Tom - MO - K2 - 008
AH6RE - Curt - HI - KX1 - 464
K2HYD - Ray - VA - KX1 - 608
VE3XL - Ric - ON - Ten Tec? I just could make out your signal but no
intelligible code.
N4SO - Ken - AL - K2 - 3394 QNI #20 You were very strong into OR until
you and Tom got your beams aligned.
W6WY - Pete - CA - K2 - 2403 (I think I have the SN correct.)
W0QQS - Bruce - MN - K2 - 3646
AA3WF - Mychael - PA - K2 - 1025
If there are any errors (Pete's SN??, Ric's rig) please send me the
corrections and I will post them and update the database to reflect the
correct data. I truly thought the band would be stronger than it was. I
am unsure of where the signals were going but they were not getting
through as well as I would have liked. There is always next week.
73 all,
Kevin. KD5ONS (Net Control Operator 5th Class)
