SSB net cancelled for Sunday, March 30, 2014

[Phil Shepard]

The WPX Phone contest running this weekend will make operating our net challenging, so let’s take the week off.  If we had more big gun powerhouse stations, we might be able to stand up to the QRM. We have a few, but we also have a lot of QRP check-ins.  Have a great week and we’ll see you next Sunday.

73,
Phil, NS7P

Soon there will be a contest every Sunday, Phil.
It almost seems that way now, with all the W1AW
commemorative action!

Just a thought ... perhaps you should consider having an alternate
frequency on one of the WARC bands for major SSB contest weekends (e.g.
somewhere on 17m).

And instead, use your Elecraft radio to work some guys in the contest.
A lot of them will be using Elecraft radios as well!

Perhaps I overreacted to the contest.  I listened to the area around our net frequency this morning, and it’s not that bad.  So, let’s go ahead with the net on the regular frequency.

        Sunday, March 30, 2014
        1800Z
        14.3035 MHz
 
Hope to see you there.

Phil, NS7P
