[Elecraft] Elecraft 80 Meter Net ... 01:00 utc Sunday Night/Mon Morning

[Dave New]

Paul,

There was some guys on 3.816 LSB when I started listening about 1/2  
before our net time.  The typical kind of thing where someone would  
say something, then a couple of minutes of silence, then someone else,  
then a bunch of ID's at the 10-minute mark.

Rinse, repeat.  This kind of thing can go on for hours amongst a bunch  
of old friends.

So, watching my waterfall, I noticed that 3.812 looked clear, so I  
started calling about 10 minutes before the hour, about once a minute.  
  Never heard anyone, so about 10 after, I called it quits.

I did tune up around 3.815 several times during that time, but all I  
heard was the guys on 3.816.  One of them, at least was splattering  
almost down to 3.812.

I still have a very high noise floor from 3.8 up to 6.2 MHz, from said  
neighbor's ATT U-Verse uplink, anywhere from S9 to S9+20 dB.

73,

-- Dave, N8SBE
