Re: [Elecraft] ECN/30 Report
Dan, Thanks for running the net. My first ECN/30 check-in. Was glad to hear Steve, N7VS whom I had worked a couple of weeks ago when I was at Pulpit Rock for MoonLight Madness with EPA QRP Club. I was calling him to let him know that during the net I was finally finishing the QSL card for that contact (thanks to a photo from Ed, WA3WSJ). Hopefully I'll check in next week again!

Re: [Elecraft] ECN/30 Report
K6DGW's KX1 S/N is #897. I guess it got lost in transmission. I was surprised at the signal strengths out here on the frontier ... NK8Q was easily a "real" 569 as was Daniel. 0100Z works pretty good for us PDT types unless we have family or friends over for dinner. 73, Fred K6DGW Auburn CA CM98lw Daniel Reynolds wrote: > > Just a quick note to acknowledge all who checked in last evening.

[Elecraft] ECN/30 Report
Just a quick note to acknowledge all who checked in last evening. This was our second week operating at 0100z - but with daylight savings time, it looks like quite a few more folks from the west coast checked in.

Thanks again for a great hour of operating, and I look forward to trying it again next week. 73, Daniel AA0NI Oklahoma City K2 #3421 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] ECN/30 report
Last night, I ended up calling on 10.112.7 because I was hearing some occasional broadband digital QRM on 10.102.7, and someone was calling near 10.107.2 just before the net started. The one and only check-in was Rick/WA3TUU in Michigan. Next week, I'm going to try calling the net one hour later (0100z - 8E/7C/6M/5P) to take advantage of the longer spring evenings and folks who get home later. If this works well, we may end up transitioning to 0100z (9E/8C/7M/6P) for spring when DST takes effect next month. I will be calling for check-ins on one of the following frequencies: 10.102.7 10.107.2 10.112.7 10.117.2 10.122.7 10.127.2 ... If we get QRM'd - I will most likely move to the next clear frequency on the list. 72/73, Daniel AA0NI Oklahoma City K2 #3421 ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

[Elecraft] ECN/30 report
Someone once wisely suggested picking a non-cardinal frequency for the ECN - and I think I really need to heed that advice next week - so watch for an odd frequency (e.g. 10118.7) for the net next week. Running QRP-10W has it's disadvantages - especially when a DX station (TO7K/TO7C?) starts calling on top of your net, and then you try to QSY up and wind up in the middle of the DXers trying to call the DX. The net started off quite nicely with AI4BJ/Mark in KY (K2 #3862 - RST 579). Shortly after that, the DX station popped up. My first attempt to move involved a QSY up to 10115.5 - then I started hearing the DXers calling. Then I tried to announce another QSY to 10114.5. So, if you were looking for the net and having a tough time locating it, I finally ended up on 10114.5, and had no more check-ins after calling for about 10-15 minutes. I then decided to make the best of the evening, and tried calling CQ - and immediately was greeted by two replies. The stronger signal was W4ZLU/Bill in AL. We had a very solid path since I was 589 (and he was s9+10dB at 50W). Tuning around shortly after my contact, I did hear W4ATK (with N2KZ) mentioning that he had a K2 at 10W - coincidentally, on 10115 - so, I'm sorry if you were looking for the ECN. The YL/'pre-Master Control' here has given me the okay to play radio while she sleeps in Saturday morning - so I'm looking forward to working all of those Elecraft S/N's out there. 73, Daniel AA0NI Oklahoma City ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
