Band conditions here were also dreadful. I tried the same process. I could occasionally hear some voice like artifacts in the noise, but the noise was s8 and s9 solidly for the first 30-45 minutes. I tried calling for a relay, but heard nobody. Noise here was horrible. Earlier in the morning I worked a guy in NYC and Chicago.... but by 2 Eastern, the band was a mess.

Asked for relay since I could not hear net control, but nobody came back. So after a half hour I stated "negative contact, going QRT" and shut down. There needs to be some way for us using K3/10 and other low power rigs to get into the net. 73 de Dave KJ6CBS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
