Signals were all equal to or stronger than 59 to this station, with a noise floor of S6, so all readable. Very nice hearing from everyone tonight. I hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 9:39 PM ET. We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage anyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to try to check in next week. As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting time and look for the 80M Elecraft SSB Net, you should see the frequency we are using that evening, if we must QSY again due to busy frequencies. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
[Elecraft] Elecraft CW Net Report
Good Evening, QSB was present on both bands with two rates. A slow S3 rate and a fast S1 rate, it chopped up code a little. Low noise helped me copy into the depths. Weather reports were consistently mild. What should be the last snow storm of the season is just getting underway. The bird population will increase soon after it melts. On 14049.5 kHz at 2300z: W0CZ - Ken - ND K4TO - Dave - KY WJ7S - John - UT K4JPN - Steve - GA K0DTJ - Brian - CA On 7047.5 kHz at 0100z: W0CZ - Ken - ND K4TO - Dave - KY K0DTJ - Brian - CA K7TXA - Jim - ID WM5F - Dwight - ID K6PJV - Dale - CA W8OV - Dave - TX Until next week 73, Kevin.

[Elecraft] Elecraft 20M SSB Net Results
The 20M Side Band net met today at 1800Z. Conditions were poor with a high noise level and QRM from the NC QSO Party (thanks to KA4HIM for graciously moving when the net started). Eric, WB9JNZ, was busy with family so Brian, K1NW stood in as net control with the helpful relaying of John (N6JW), Stan (K6VWE), and Jim (NC0JW). We had 30 check-ins from 19 US states and 1 Canadian province. Please join us next Sunday at 1800Z on 14.303.5 Mhz.

[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement
Please join us on 3803kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY) plus (not minus) QRM (see the Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z 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. Now that we have moved into Standard time and have shorter daylight hours, 80M should be stronger now during the winter. 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. 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 __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
Re: [Elecraft] O.T. Increase inDigital data on 30m
Yes, Jim, you are correct. My mistake. I've participated in enough NA QSO Parties, both CW and SSB, I should have remembered they are 100W parties. One of the reasons I like to participate in them is because the power limitation helps level the playing field for us 'little pistols'. 73, -- Dave, N8SBE On 2024-02-24 21:27, Jim Brown wrote: Thanks for the explanation, Dave. One small correction -- today's RTTY contest the North American QSO Party, is intended as a 100W contest, and features team competition with a limit of 100W. There are people who enter at high power, but they are a very small minority. If I'm not mistaken, those running high power are considered check logs. 73, Jim K9YC On 2/24/2024 5:23 PM, Dave New, N8SBE wrote: It's not easy finding open frequencies for an exercise of this sort, especially because today was the NA RTTY QSO Party (which doesn't take place on 30M because it is a contest) that completely wiped out the digital portions of the bands that we normally use for Winlink messaging. So it was difficult to work around the KW RTTY stations, to say the least. __ 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 Message delivered to n8...@densbe.com __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
