[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Report

[Dave New, N8SBE]

Jim,

Yes, sorry about that.  We used to meet in the General class portion of 
the band some time ago, but kept getting chased off of various 
frequencies due to the overcrowding with nets and skeds in that portion 
of the band.

I'm open to anyone that can find us an open frequency in the General 
class portion of the 80M band at 9pm ET on Sundays.  Since I'm already 
involved in attempting to run the net on 3784 kHz, it's difficult for me 
to be actively looking for openings elsewhere during the net time.  Kind 
of a catch-22.

Also, there is no one single source of registered nets, or else we might 
easily solve the problem that way.  Yes, there is the ARRL Net 
Directory, but that leans towards NTS and similar nets.  Netlogger, 
which we use for the 80M net, also shows other nets running at the same 
time, including their frequencies, but it is by no means all-inclusive, 
either.

I'd really like to be as inclusive as possible, and that would mean 
meeting in the General portion of the band.

Ideas, anyone?

73,

-- Dave, N8SBE
