144.240 and .250 SSB nets *ON* tonight.
The 144.240 net called by WB9LYH in EN54cl is *ON*, with the usual 0100Z start, looking east into MI and beyond, if prop allows. Mark then swings clockwise, calling CQ, ending up looking north toward 0215-0230, I will be on 144.250 from EN63ao, calling the Badger Contesters net at 0230Z. I usually spend a good half hour with Milwaukee/Chicago locals before I start swinging the beams clockwise. If you’re in eastern time zone, I may not look that way until 0330 or later.
If you want more details about the 144 nets on Wed., read this post: http://kc9bqa.com/?p=1780 Please read the 2nd paragraph and consider monitoring the net progress via www.on4kst.com real-time chat. A few dozen already follow along in the chat. In time, we’re going to make Wed. a very wide-range activity night for 144 SSB, whether you can work our net or not. 20-30 guys working net control is OK, but dozens of guys taking charge and creating their own activity, in different directions is exactly what VHF/UHF needs.
Keep spreading the word. We’ve got good momentum. During the dead of winter, we’ve got 20-40 guys playing 144 SSB across multiple states and a few dozen grids. Can’t wait until we get warmer weather and better propagation.
