7:30am Sunday —
The SSB portion of the 2m band had activity from many states and grid squares Wed. night. I don’t think conditions were enhanced much; but the overall turnout was very strong.
N9OLT took the 144.240 net from EN64, Green Bay, WI. John will also be net control this Wed., Dec 5th. Start time 7pm central. WB9LYH plans on being back for Dec. 12th and 19th.
N9OLT’s 14 check-ins on Wed. night were: KR8T and KF8QL EN72; KD8IME and W8SOL EN71; N8WNA and K8JA EN82; KC9BQA EN63; KF9US EN55; KC9CLM EN52; KY9E EN53; N9NDP EN62; N9NYA EN43; N9KOR EN44 and K0SIX EN35.
K8TQK had a big night with his 144.252 net from EM89je, south-central OH. Bob’s 30 check-ins included: N8WNA, N8AIA and K8JA EN82; KC8TRL EN81; KD8IME and W8SOL EN71; WB8AUK and K9MRI EN70; VE3SG EN92; VE3VII and VA3WU FN03; KC8YJB and KD8FHY EN91; W2UAD FN13; AC3L/M FN00; K8KGM, KC8QDQ, WT8E, W8WG and W8PU EM89; WB0NPN and W8XTC EM79, AA4DD EM86; WD4NMV EM85; KF8QL EN72; KY4MRG EM77; WA4REE EM65; KI4ROF EM55; W9YZU EM69 and KC9CLM EN52.
Thanks to everyone for getting on and making the airwaves come alive.
Remember to do some CQ’ing of your own after net control has passed you by. The recipe for a truly healthy VHF or UHF band includes many stations spreading out, calling CQ, increasing activity on their own. It’s nice when 30-40 hams will show up to say hello to a few minutes to a net control. But it’s way better when many of those hams will look in different directions and spread the activity.
Again, the Wed. net control schedule for the next 3 weeks is:
144.240 7pm central 144.252 8:30pm eastern
Dec. 5th N9OLT EN64am K8TQK EM89je
Dec. 12th WB9LYH EN54cl K8TQK EM89je
Dec. 19th WB9LYH EN54cl K8TQK EM89je
When I learn what the plans are for Wed., Dec. 26th, I’ll post them here.
I should have a variety of updates here over the next several days. Read thru the post below if you want to know the topics I’ll be covering.
