[Elecraft] Elecraft SSB Net results, September 8

Fri Sep 13 14:27:01 EDT 2013

This last Sunday, I think Netcontrol didn't come down anywhere near me.  (The Raleigh NC area)

Just a few hz away there was the marine net on 14.300 that was booming in from Texas. - NO problem hearing them.. but 14.3035? Nope. Nothing.

There was traffic up at 14.305 something.. so I know the antenna was working.. just not catching Atanta...(I was probably where he was hitting the ionosphere..)

KK4QDZ - Now with Extra Class Priv's, and a tiny KX3 to enjoy them!

N7SP etal:

If I may make a suggestion that might make KX3 checkin easier.  On 
other nets that I often check into, the first stations invited to 
checkin are portable, mobile, and low power stations.  That gives 
those stations a better chance of avoiding being covered up by 
stronger stations.  Not sure if this could be incorporated to the 
Elecraft-SSB net protocol?

I have checked in with my KX3 sn475 several times and usually I wait 
till the near the end of the net when the "dust settles" a bit.  I do 
have the advantage of a yagi at 50-feet.  I also checked in with my 
K3/10 sn4340 barefoot many times before I had an amplifier (I have 
both 120w and 250w amps).

I will try checking in this Sunday with 250w.  Past couple weeks prop 
has not been nice.

How can we as a group increase the results of the Sunday SSB net for 
those of us who have KX3s running barefoot? Only 2 of the 34 checkins 
on Sunday were KX3s.

Frustrated and disappointed ? but I keep trying ?

Dave, K6WDE located KH7 temporarily ?
KX3, serial number 4599
