NCRC members and some other fine folks from far away joined us between 19:30 and 20:30 Local time on 3.9 MHz. This is the second week we’ve tried this and various folks from the East and West Bay checked in. Just like last week, signals that were S5 to S7 at 19:30 dropped entirely into the mud by 20:00, so the consensus was to move the net to 19:30 hours.<\/p>\n
John, WA1ABI, shared a link to a real-time F2 Layer map, which showed that the F2 frequency dropped from about 5 MHz at 19:30 to 4 MHz at 20:00. So the assumption would be that everyone except Willy is mostly relying on NVIS signal propagation.<\/p>\n
Folks that joined the net were:<\/p>\n
KC1SD – Jim (NH)
\nW1LY – Willy (RI)
\nW1DEC – Dave (RI)
\nWA1ABI – John (RI)
\nW1LAB – Pete (RI)
\nN1PSX – Paul (RI)
\nNJ3K – Bruce (PA)
\nWD8ORB – Seth (OH)
\nN7SKI – John (MT)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
