Often read the reports from Elecraft Nets and kind of wondered what the
"usual" maximum range for stations on the 80m SSB Net?
I'm in southcentral AK so do not expect to ever hear the net which
appears centered on MI (I was K8MWA 1958-1968 in MI).
Late night 80m prop often brings in West Coast stations (W7 and W6) so
that would suggest a couple thousand miles. Normal daytime 80m is about
400 miles up here.
Also seems as a West Coast 80m net could co-exist with the current
Elecraft 80m SSB Net. Be nice if NC were located in NW (Seattle?) as
that might reach us 1300 miles to the north.
I have checked in the 20m SSB Net in the past with 100w and 3-element
yagi at 50-foot. Building a 1200w linear this winter (might improve
chances??).
I mostly do VHF-SSB or EME but with the great cycle-25 might enjoy what
it brings in!
