Good Morning,
It has been a rainy few days. The weather has returned to normal
here with steady, heavy rainfall, wind and cool temperatures. The
daffodils got fooled into blooming early but now they are paying the
price. Normally they don't even start until April. The sun has been
active and caused a few communication blackouts this week. Hopefully
the added ions will improve propagation for all of us.
Please zero beat the net control frequency. I cannot tell you how
difficult it is to track everyone down who is off frequency. Where your
signal would be a solid 579 I am forced to give you a 339 or worse
because you are not zero beat with me. Yes, I could use RIT and track
each of you down but I am doing three things at once during each
contact. My hands are busy with pencil, paddles, and two sheets of
paper which makes tracking you down more difficult. I cannot change net
frequency to follow you because I normally have to find an open
frequency near where I have announced them. Make life simpler for all
of us and zero beat the net frequency which may or may not be the
announced frequency.
Here are the times and approximate frequencies of today's nets
Please join us this afternoon and evening.
14050 kHz at 2200z Sunday (3 PM PDT Sunday)
7045 kHz at 0100z Monday (6 PM PDT Sunday)
73,
Kevin. KD5ONS
I use CWT on my K3 to keep track of where people are in relationship to
net frequency. That is why I can never give you S9 + xxx since that xxx
part is not displayed while using CWT.
