Icom net was on 14.316 today

[Ron Midwin]

I tuned in at 10:00 a.m. PDT and was very excited to hear some strong
stations talking on 14.316 MHz.

 

When I put out my call, someone told me I was on an Icom net that met on
this frequency.  The guy wasn't very friendly.

 

The good news is I was hearing him very well, and the station he was talking
to discussing the new Icom 7600 one of them had just bought.

 

73,

  There were still stragglers on when I tuned them at nearly
  11:00 am PDT waiting for the Elecraft SSB net.

  As usual, I heard nothing on 14.314 at the designated time and
  I "went elsewhere".

Well some improvement this week, this time I heard the control station ask for
checkins at least 5 times during my 30 min of listening. I heard a couple of
N.C. station very well, but alas the few times I heard net control well enough
to be sure I wouldn't be answering on top of someones reports, my signals were
lost in the crowd.

I followed the entire net session and don't recall hearing your call. Do you have a beam? If you do and it was pointed to WA it would explain me not hearing your call, but I normally have fairly decent propagation to Texas on 20m. Did you hear my QSO with K7SJ?

OK, with 400W I should really have heard you. Did you hear the the EI station logging in? He was reasonable strong here in CNY and obviously in WA.
