Fast n' Furious Fourty Net


I'm like a whipped pup after these nets... but it feels great to get another one on the books.

We started off a bit rocky...a DX Station in Newfoundland had the frequency pile-up'd at net time. Brian VO1DSK was having a great time working everybody so I tried taking the net down to a open freqency...7.188...but unfortunately it was too close to another net already in progress. Anyway, eventually the DX party ended on 7.198 so back to the net frequency we went...

And WOW! Did we get BUSY. Despite noisy conditions, we got 20 check-ins (counting Brian in Newfoundland during the prenet) and one guy...Lonnie, W4SQL in Summerville SC, who was transmitting on the radio but was receiving the net via the Internet at www.globaltuners.com ...purty darn NEAT!

Anyway...here's tonight's great check-ins...a great net...a great time had by all.

  2. I'm glad I could make it into the net last night. Conditions made it tough for me to hear some of the stations, but others were great, and they changed over the course of the net. Netlogger really helps in keeping up with who is there and where they are. I was glad to learn about that program from you.

    Looking forward to more nets in the future.

  4. Was alot of fun. Globaltuners really helped. I was listening through a station in Pa. I could even hear myself. So I figure my signal was shooting over Ki4hee,we are are kinda close, in radio terms.. Plus he was most likely doing the same to me. Thanks to all that did the relaying ... 3.915 is the SC ssb net each night(7-8pm edt). They seem to get out all over the place. So maybe 80 m will be good on Thursday. 73 Landy W4SQL

  5. Hey Landy, that's ingenious getting the web based radio reciever to get a better signal. Glad to have you check in. Look forward to hearing you on 80 Meters too! '73 Bob KI4HEE
