[Elecraft] 20 Meter SSB Net for Sunday December 12, 2021

[Jim White]

The Sunday December 12, 2021 edition of the Elecraft 20 Meter SSB Net saw horrible solar numbers but a respectable 31 stations joining the net.  As always a big shout out goes the the relay stations.  Without the relay stations checkin numbers would be considerably lower.  Thanks to relay stations Eric WB9JNZ, Roger N4NRW, Bill AE6JV, Steve WM6P, John N6JW, Brian K1NW, Phil NS7P and all that stations that take time on Sundays to join us.

Of particular note was Peter ZL1PWD from New Zealand with a good signal to the Western states and copyable in Colorado.  Thanks Phil NS7P for your efforts with Peter each week and of course thanks to Peter for making time to join us on Sunday.

And it was also fun to hear John’s KX3 bicycle mobile near his California QTH.  John had a great foot print with good signal reports from SC and RI.  John’s bicycle mobile KX3 install could  hear Peter from New Zealand.  John was even able to assist with relays before pedaling home.

Eric WB9JNZ, primary NCS, is in the process of moving from his old QTH in the urban Chicago area to his new more rural location northwest of Chicago near Woodstock.  Eric promises to have his K3/KPA1500 online with his new antenna farm soon.

And the number of K4’s joining us continues to grow.
