How can we as a group increase the results of the Sunday SSB net for those of us who have KX3s running barefoot? Only 2 of the 34 checkins on Sunday were KX3s.

There are several other KX3 Yahoo groups whose many members probably don't
even know that there IS a Sunday Elecraft net. That'd be my first suggestion. 73, Charlie k3ICH ----- Original Message ----- From: "Esquer Dave" <[hidden email]> To: <[hidden email]> Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 2:12 AM Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8 How can we as a group increase the results of the Sunday SSB net for those of us who have KX3s running barefoot?

I was recently able to check in with my KX-3 for the first time in a year.
All it took was driving from Florida to Montana with my Radio ;-) Makes the hobby an endurance sport!

N7SP etal:
If I may make a suggestion that might make KX3 checkin easier. On other nets that I often check into, the first stations invited to checkin are portable, mobile, and low power stations. That gives those stations a better chance of avoiding being covered up by stronger stations. Not sure if this could be incorporated to the Elecraft-SSB net protocol? I have checked in with my KX3 sn475 several times and usually I wait till the near the end of the net when the "dust settles" a bit. I do have the advantage of a yagi at 50-feet. I also checked in with my K3/10 sn4340 barefoot many times before I had an amplifier (I have both 120w and 250w amps). I will try checking in this Sunday with 250w. Past couple weeks prop has not been nice. 73, Ed - KL7UW ---------------------- Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8 How can we as a group increase the results of the Sunday SSB net for those of us who have KX3s running barefoot?

Dave we need to listen better. Also better band conditions would help. I also have the KX3 and have tried to check in but failed. So I use my trusty K3.
Phil goes SOTA and makes it with his KX3. Seriously we need to relay those we hear that are not being heard by net control. Old established net etiquette.

Might I suggest (like I think was done in the past) that a few minutes (defined clearly) are set aside for us QRP KX3 folks to check in?
I am temporarily located in Waikoloa, HI (BK29CW). I can hear the relay from N6JW in Riverside, CA. and sometimes can directly hear NS7P from Elmira, Oregon. When net control transfers to Georgia, no way I can do anything from here. I am in a condo complex with antenna police chasing me … putting up a tower … ain't going to happen. My attic is accessible, but the roof above it is concrete tile. My simple EARC endfed 6-40 half wave dipole (http://www.earchi.org/92011endfedfiles/Endfed6_40.pdf) running inverted v in a palm tree tied to my lanai is my present setup. Respectfully and hopefully, it would be a "challenge" for those running much more power than I to pull out the "small fry" from the noise during the Sunday net.

This last Sunday, I think Netcontrol didn't come down anywhere near me. (The Raleigh NC area)
Just a few hz away there was the marine net on 14.300 that was booming in from Texas. - NO problem hearing them.. but 14.3035? Nope. Nothing. There was traffic up at 14.305 something.. so I know the antenna was working.. just not catching Atanta...(I was probably where he was hitting the ionosphere..)

As sometime net control when Phil is away, I try to make a point of pausing
and asking specifically for QRP check-ins, and for relays from QRP check-ins that I can't hear. Unfortunately, band conditions haven't been so good lately, and QRP signals have been tough to hear. Although I have been able to catch 2 or 3 KX3 users.

Re: Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8

Two Sundays ago, net control DID create a "quiet time" and asked for QRP stations only to call.
I have great difficulty checking into the net from my location in Pasadena, CA, partly because I have a very tall mountain range just out the window, and between me and Oregon, and partly because my K3-10 is drowned out by stations with amplifiers. On this occasion, I was able to check in very easily. So, I concur with those who have suggested a "low power' segment of the net. Even better, two such periods would be desirable, the first about five minutes after the net opens, and about 15 minutes later, to give a second chance for anyone who could't make it the first time. (Band conditions DO change.) More active relaying by net participants would also help. On some nets, stations seem to relay only if asked. On others, they step in to relay if it's clear that a particular station isn't getting through to NC. It would be nice if the Elecraft net adopted the latter approach. One more thing....if NC has a beam antenna, he might announce " beaming east, calls from northeast and northern midwest stations only," etc. And let's all give three cheers for Phil for the great job he does as NC!

The maritime nets on 14.300 [there's more than one] firmly believe they own the frequency and are there daily. They're billed as "maritime emergency nets," although 99% of the checkins are definitely not afloat, and all that I've heard in several years that are afloat are tied up to a dock somewhere [I suppose it's possible to sink at a dock]. I sometimes leave 14300 on when I'm working in the shack. > > There was traffic up at 14.305 something.. so I know the antenna was > working.. just not catching Atanta...(I was probably where he was > hitting the ionosphere..) I haven't ever checked into the SSB net, maybe I will try this Sunday. I do get into Kevin's CW net on 40 on occasion, but with the untimely departure of N0SS [SK], Kevin is just too close for 20 and by the 40m netI'm usually at dinner. It is common on many nets to call for QRP, Mobiles, etc. I've sort of equated it to the 2 Silent Periods each hour when maritime comm was CW [well ... MCW]. I'll see what happens Sun. 73, Fred K6DGW - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the 2013 Cal QSO Party 5-6 Oct 2013 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ 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 |
