Please join us on 3803kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY) plus (not minus) QRM
(see the Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0100Z Monday).
Note that the net stays on the same local time, when we switch back and
forth to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes, but not the local
time.
As daylight persists more into the evening, we may find it more
difficult to conduct the net at its regular time. For the time being,
let's keep it at 9PM ET, as that is getting late on a 'school night' for
a lot of folks, as it is.
Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE.
After some discussion, we've decided to try moving from 3806 kHz to 3803
kHz. The past few weeks there has been some sort of noise heard on 3806
kHz by East coast stations, making it difficult to hear net control.
The group that meets on 3803 kHz has been wrapping up operations
promptly at 9pm ET (so far), so it should be clear for our use then.
I'll keep a watch to see if the net that normally occupies 3803 kHz the
hour before our time stays with local time, or moves with the change to
daylight saving time. If they move their local time, it will place them
on top of our 9PM ET net, so we'll need to deal with that if it occurs.
It's typical for 80M nets to use local time, as they tend to be regional
in nature, not nation- or world-wide.
If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is
accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is
clean and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz
of the lower 80M US General class band edge.
I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M
Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've
settled on for the evening. If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP
the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band.
Hope to see you this evening on the net.
73,
-- Dave, N8SBE
