[Elecraft] Elecraft 20 Meter SSB Net 9/20/2020

[Jim White NC0JW]

Our regular net control, Eric WB9JNZ, was a bit under the weather today and John N6JW stepped to the plate and hit a home run as net control.  Thanks to John and the relay stations that allowed us to check in 22 stations (including two first time check ins) under challenging conditions.  Propagation was strange today with deep QSB not to mention QRM from several QSO parties.

The Sunday Elecraft SSB Nets begin with the 20 Meter Net at 1800 UTC on or about 14.3035 MHz with Eric WB9JNZ as Net Control in Chicago. The 40 Meter SSB net follows at 1900 UTC with Steve WM6P in Georgia serving as net control on 7.280 MHz.  At 0100 UTC the 80 Meter SSB Net meets on 3.942 MHz with Net Control Paul KB9AVO from Indiana.  With propagation at a low point we employ several relay stations located around the continental USA to assist with check ins.  As conditions permit we take questions and comments after check ins.

Give one or all of the SSB nets a try next Sunday.
