I didn't hear any noise on 316 today with my beam pointed NW from here in AZ.
Just a group of guys who were operating there and they even mentioned that
the Elecraft net would be starting shortly and that they wanted to be off the
frequency by net start time. Very nice of them but then
We kept our frequency on 14.314 MHz again today to try to dodge some QRM
that has been persistent on 14.316 for some people. We had 14 participants
including net control and ran for 14 minutes. The discussions were about
difficulty getting stereo out of the headphones for one station and help
The QRM on 14.316 is unlikely to go away, ever. This is the 4th
harmonic of 3.579 MHz, the TV color burst frequency, and a popular
choice for oscillators in all sorts of consumer and office devices (not
necessarily TV receivers). This has been a problem on 20 meters for at
least 30 years
We switched our frequency to 14.314 MHz today to try to dodge some QRM that
has been persistent on 14.316 for some people. That change was positive for
one of the stations that has reported issues before. However, today a DX
contest was providing plenty of QRM all over this end of the band.
Dear Phil,
Tried to join the SSB net Sunday morning PDT. Couldn't even hear NC.
Just noise.
Two problems: First, there seems to be a carrier just above 14.316
that's there week after week. (At least here on the CA coast.) I
wonder if something could be done about the carrier, say
We had a very short and sparse SSB net today on 14.316 MHz. The signal
levels were not very good. We only had 12 participants including net
control and ran for 11 minutes. My apologies to KB9BNI, but I was unable to
pull your rig information through. Here is a list of the 12 participants:
Phil, NS7P, was away this week.
A group on the net frequency finished up at 18:05Z, and we QSY'd to 14.316,
after my initial call on 14.313.
A special thanks goes to Bill, NZ0T, for calling back east to assist me.
We closed the net at 18:37 with the following 18 check-ins + NCS.

Thanks to all for checking in today. Signals were very good, overall and the
band was quieter here than has been typical. Gary, KA7GKN, wrapped up with a
group on 14.316 at 18:00Z, turning things over to the net.

Please emphasize to relaying stations to pass check-in stations calls and names
to you. I tried to check in and was acknowledged by a 5 land station who
apparently did not pass my check-in to you. Thanks. Roy Morris W4WFB

We had a good SSB net today (1800Z) on 14.316 MHz. The signals from most of
the US and Canada were fairly good to the net control in
Oregon (S6 to S9+). Three WA/OR stations needed relay to me. Some stations
report that they could not hear many others or that the signals were low.
Conditions
We held the SSB net this morning (1800Z). An ongoing QSO on 14316 caused us
to move up 3 kc to 14319 kHz. Thank you to those who put the frequency
change on the reflector. My apologies to those who missed the QSY. The
signals from most of the country were fairly good to the net control in
