[Elecraft] SSB Net on 20 and 40 meters

[Edward R Cole]

First off all the e-mail in the digest I received at 8:27am on 
Monday, Feb. 24 were posted on Saturday, Feb.22.  Is it normal for 
the digest to wait 48-hours before posting.  My email is set for 
auto-checking every 30-minutes.

Kevin's CW Net announcement was only 24-hours late by the time I read it.

Not to the topic 80 & 40m SSB Nets:

I tuned in 14.303.5 Sunday at 1800 utc (9am AKST) and band was dead - 
nada - no WWV on 15-MHz; not even digital stuff on 14.070.  So 
obviously did not hear the 20m net.  Made me wonder if triband yagi was broke?

Local Alaskan hams have been saying 80m is good at mid-day and not at 
night!  Very different than what I used to know.  Used to be 40m 
daytime/80m nighttime prop.

So maybe 40m might have some propagation > 800 miles???  Seattle is 
only 1400 miles away.

I only have a inverted-V and 100w for 40m but may listen March 1st.
