[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results (3/1/09)

[Phil and Christina]

Sam and others,

Sorry to those who tried but were unable to check in.  We may need a more
systematic relay approach to help us through the strange differential
propagation conditions we are experiencing.  Some hear others well and some
don't.  I will be looking at a second antenna here (maybe just for receive,
maybe both).  Keep trying.  If anyone who hears most stations wants to stick
around for the entire net to help relay in others, that would be great.
Thanks,

73,

Phil, NS7P

report from W. Texas
only station I heard clearly (S8) was one of the 4's
not sure which one it was,
but he changed the # of which rig he was operating from,
there was a big heterodyne on freq from a signal about 2 kc away
so any copy was poor since my K2 has no notch filter.

I tried asking for a relay a couple of times, but no response.
