[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results (9-13-09)

[Oliver Johns]

Dear Phil,

Tried to join the SSB net Sunday morning PDT.  Couldn't even hear NC.   
Just noise.

Two problems:  First, there seems to be a carrier just above 14.316  
that's there week after week.  (At least here on the CA coast.)  I  
wonder if something could be done about the carrier, say moving the  
net to 14.314.  I can null it out, but can't afford the loss of signal  
that entails.

Second, I have S8-9 RFI noise here in urban San Francisco on 20  
meters.  The RFI is my problem, of course. Very frustrating.  I'm  
working on a loop receiving antenna.  Stay tuned.

I wonder if maybe the net could be moved to 40 meters until the MUF  
increases?  Or maybe two nets, one on 20 and one on 40 like the CW  
nets do?

73,
Oliver Johns
