That's great - but being in England, there is little chance - from the
propagation, broadcast stations (there is a Hindu stn on that freq) and the time point of view ;-) Anyone in Europe want to set up a net we can respond to - until sunspots improve?

It ended up on 7185 kHz, due to QRM, I think. I checked in with Roger
about 0235 UTC. I heard quite a few other signals, but all from Texas and west. I just checked the freq again, and there's now a fairly strong broadcast carrier centered exactly on 7185. 73, Dave K7DAA http://www.k7daa.com On Mar 6, 2008, at 6:22 PM, Larry Putman wrote: > Is there anyone on the net tonight? as of 0220 UTC I have heard no > one on 7.188 Mhz? > > 73 > > Larry Putman WB3ANQ > > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Roger Stein <[hidden email]> > To: Elecraft (E-mail) <[hidden email]> > Sent: Thursday, March 6, 2008 5:13:35 PM > Subject: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net Announcement > > Greetings fellow Elecrafters and Elecrafters-to-be!

Hi, Actually I did find the group on 188!
despite very heavy static crashes on my end I could copy several stations out west! I was very impressed with the great audio! Really punched right through!!

RE: Elecraft SSB Net Announcement - how did the K3s do?
|

Hello All,
How did the K3s perform under last night's conditions? At just about 9PM EST, I heard the word "Elecraft" on 7188, and after that I could hear that there were transmissions on that frequency, but given the static crashes and high QRN level, nothing more was understandable (it just goes to show the "Elecraft" stands out). At about 9:15, I clearly heard K4PV in N.W. Florida and he was able to copy me, then he talked to another station who I could hear but not understand. At about 9:30, everything disappeared (except the static and QRN). My K2 does a wonderful job on CW under such high QRN conditions since I can use my very narrow IF and DSP filters to essentially eliminate the QRN, but it doesn't do well at all on SSB - when the signal is barely understandable, using narrower SSB filters doesn't significantly reduce the QRN and makes the signal even more difficult to understand (the SSB filters work better under heavy QRM conditions). And the noise blanker in my K2 of course has no effect on the static and QRN conditions we had last night. So, how did the K3s do under last night's conditions? 73, Bob W1SRB Reading, Ma (just north of Boston) -----Original Message----- From: [hidden email] [mailto:[hidden email]] On Behalf Of Larry Putman Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 9:18 AM To: [hidden email] Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net Announcement Hi, Actually I did find the group on 188! despite very heavy static crashes on my end I could copy several stations out west!

I found the group on 7.185, after listening for a few minutes on 7.188.
I was able to check in through Mark,WQ7X. WA7BOC was barely audible until about 1/2 way through the net. I did also hear another station from Texas (I think) but do not remember his call. Very heavy static, the filters in the K3 (#253) did not do much good. But then I'm only on a vertical. WIll try 20, this Sunday. 73 Ken WB2ART Solosko, Robert B (Bob) wrote: > Hello All, > > How did the K3s perform under last night's conditions? > > At just about 9PM EST, I heard the word "Elecraft" on 7188, and > after that I could hear that there were transmissions on that frequency, > but given the static crashes and high QRN level, nothing more was > understandable (it just goes to show the "Elecraft" stands out).
