This last Sunday, I think Netcontrol didn't come down anywhere near me. (The Raleigh NC area)
Just a few hz away there was the marine net on 14.300 that was booming in from Texas. - NO problem hearing them.. but 14.3035? Nope. Nothing. There was traffic up at 14.305 something.. so I know the antenna was working.. just not catching Atanta...(I was probably where he was hitting the ionosphere..) KK4QDZ - Now with Extra Class Priv's, and a tiny KX3 to enjoy them! ________________________________ From: Edward R Cole <kl...@acsalaska.net> To: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 1:22 PM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8 N7SP etal: If I may make a suggestion that might make KX3 checkin easier. On other nets that I often check into, the first stations invited to checkin are portable, mobile, and low power stations. That gives those stations a better chance of avoiding being covered up by stronger stations. Not sure if this could be incorporated to the Elecraft-SSB net protocol? I have checked in with my KX3 sn475 several times and usually I wait till the near the end of the net when the "dust settles" a bit. I do have the advantage of a yagi at 50-feet. I also checked in with my K3/10 sn4340 barefoot many times before I had an amplifier (I have both 120w and 250w amps). I will try checking in this Sunday with 250w. Past couple weeks prop has not been nice. 73, Ed - KL7UW ---------------------- Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8 How can we as a group increase the results of the Sunday SSB net for those of us who have KX3s running barefoot? Only 2 of the 34 checkins on Sunday were KX3s. Frustrated and disappointed ? but I keep trying ? Dave, K6WDE located KH7 temporarily ? KX3, serial number 4599 73, Ed - KL7UW http://www.kl7uw.com dubus...@gmail.com "Kits made by KL7UW" ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net 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:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
