[Elecraft] Elecraft 80M SSB Net Announcement

[Dave New, N8SBE]

Please join us on 3803kHz (NOTE THE NEW FREQUENCY) plus QRM (see the 
Netlogger discussion, below), 9PM ET Sunday (0200Z Monday). Note that 
the net stays on the same local time, when we switch back and forth 
to/from Daylight time, so the UTC time changes, but not the local time.

Now that we have moved into Standard time and have shorter daylight 
hours, 80M should be stronger now during the winter.

Your net control this week will be Dave, N8SBE.

After some discussion, we've decided to try moving from 3806 kHz to 3803 
kHz.  The past few weeks there has been some sort of noise heard on 3806 
kHz by East coast stations, making it difficult to hear net control.  
The group that meets on 3803 kHz has been wrapping up operations 
promptly at 9pm ET (so far), so it should be clear for our use then.

If you are a US General class licensee, please ensure that your dial is 
accurately calibrated and that your transmitter/amplifier combination is 
clean and free of splatter, since we will be operating LSB within 3 kHz 
of the lower 80M US General class band edge.

I'm using Netlogger, so if you go to netlogger.org and look for the 80M 
Elecraft SSB Net, you will be able to see the exact frequency we've 
settled on for the evening.  If we find 3803 kHz busy, we will move UP 
the band a few kHz, so we can stay in the 80M US General class band.

Hope to see you this evening on the net.

73,

-- Dave, N8SBE
