Elecraft CW Net Report

Good Evening,
Both bands had summer storm noise and QSB. Signals were strong though and easy to copy. The biggest problem was separating the calls out from one long howl. I think I copied "howl TX9V" at one point which works out to K4TO, K6XK, and AB9V respectively. Then I worked AK back to back with GA. I like my new antenna. Ken said he was on a vertical which could hear me better. The doublet picked up a lot more noise and less signal so I used it very little. On forty meters KC1ACL checked at least four times, each of them QRP. QSB went from ESP to S7 on some of you. Normally QSB acts like a sine wave. But today some of you had QSB which acted like a square wave. Your signal was on and then off again with no signs of fading or strengthening. Just on and off. We seemed to have found the time when 40 meters wakes up then settles down a little. I'll leave the 40 m net time at 0045z for a few weeks and see how the band changes as the sun moves. On 14050.5 kHz at 2200z: W0CZ - Ken - ND K6XK - Roy - IA AB9V - Mike - IN KL7CW - Rick - AK K4JPN - Steve - GA On 7047.5 kHz at 0045z: KC1ACL - Steven - NM W0CZ - Ken - ND K0DTJ - Brian - CA K6PJV - Dale - CA WM5F - Dwight - ID Today the wind was pruning the fir trees. The branches kept hitting the roof while I was on the air during the 20 meter net. The new vertical fits behind a large fir tree to my west. It was out of the wind. It should be protected from the flying branches. But if it breaks it will be easy to fix. Until next week 73, Kevin. KD5ONS - NICK I headed down the hall in the opposite direction, toward the fire escape. I hadn't a moment to lose... LT. BRADSHAW Hey, Danger! Where's the fire? NICK In your eyes, Lieutenant Bradshaw. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |

Hello Kevin;
Just saying thanks and I agree the QSB was crazy!!! I am wondering if you or others have tried to use APF on the Elecraft radio to pull out weaker CW signals from the noise. I've tried it a few times on my KX3 but wonder if I am setting it up correctly. I'm not sure it would have helped with the QSB as it was today. I'm wondering if anyone created a YouTube video on using APF to pull out weaker CW signals on a KX3? Thanks! Dwight WM5F Snip.... signal was on and then off again with no signs of fading or strengthening. Just on and off. We seemed to have found the time when 40 meters wakes up then settles down a little. I'll leave the 40 m net time at 0045z for a few weeks and see how the band changes as the sun moves. Kevin.

I heard nothing on 40M. 20M was good and QSB was only 2 S-units or so.;
