RE: Question about K3 nets

[KM5Q]

AD4C,

Some of us started the "Elecraft SSB Net" last March. We had as many  
as 12 check-ins, but we put it to sleep after 2 months. But as  
propagation tends to improve, and especially with more K3 owners out  
there, I'd suggest reviving the SSB net.

For current net information, go to the K3 Wiki at:
http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
A CW net is active now.

Here is the SSB schedule that we arrived at after 2 months of activity:

----------------------------------

ELECRAFT SSB NET SCHEDULE
7.192* MHz and 14.316
MONDAY & THURSDAY USA-NIGHTS / 0130 & 0230 UTC
(In Europe that's Tuesday and Friday mornings)
SUNDAY   1800 UTC on 14.316 MHz
You may need to tune +/- a few kHz to look for the net. If you don't  
hear anybody, please call it yourself -- There isn't always a regular  
net control present.

Elecraft net information is posted at:
http://www.zerobeat.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page

---------------------------------

Again, the above net is NOT currently active. If YOU or ANYONE wishes  
to activate it, please consider the above schedule and check the  
frequencies yourself, then post your wish to the group. I'm sure it  
will happen, propagation-willing.

How to post the net info to the K3 Wiki:
Once the schedule is established, go to the Wiki link again, and hit  
"discussion" tab on top. (Create an account first.) Then you can enter  
the new schedule information to be made public. The Wiki wizards will  
add it to the page.

Meanwhile, in a few hours of casual SSB operation on 20m in the past  
month, I've run into 3 other K3s on the air.

Yeah, I was just getting my K3 when the net got shut down, never did get a
chance to check in.  Would be very much in favor of starting it up again.
Still have it on my net list and still drop by once in a  while to see if
anybody is there.

Don't know how it was run or anything as I never did hear it.  A round table
of those checking in a rag-chew style net with a moderator would be GREAT.
Lots of questions and answers can be had and a lot of new friends made.  AND
we all get to play radio (and the best part - with our Elecraft equipment
and for those waiting for theirs)!!!
