9  N2TNN  VAK3Dean (w)



(Entries with (c/o) indicate a 'one and done' station that checked out 
during the 1st round. (n/h) failed to respond during subsequent rounds.)


We had a total of 9 check ins this week (including the NCS). Thanks to 
the relay stations that helped this evening. Very nice hearing from 
everyone tonight. I hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 
09:26 PM ET.


Conditions were noisy this evening for some stations, with lightning in 
the NE and GA off-shore area.  The summer season is coming on.


We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage 
everyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas 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

Interesting article about the interactions between engineers and 
mathematicians as they develop new tools to study the N-body problem.

The great thing about getting older is that you don't lose all the other 
ages you've been.

[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement

2024-04-21 Thread Dave New, N8SBE
Please join us on 3803kHz 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.

The group that meets on 3803 kHz before us has been wrapping up 
operations promptly at or before 9PM ET.  There is also another group 
that normally comes on at 10PM ET, so we need to make sure to wrap up 
operations by 10PM ET.  If any stations wish to continue past that time, 
please QSY to a clear frequency.


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 band edge of the 80M US General class band.


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
