[MRCA] Sunday Night After Dark Moose and Squirrel Net After Action Report

[W2HX]

Thanks for the report, Breck. For me, the problem was QRM. So many QSOs adjacent to us. I could readily make out a nearby SSB qso that was so close, I didn't have to move the dial from M&S to make him understandable.

I wonder if there is a better freq we could use on 80?

I got on  last night (Sunday)about 10 minutes  early and heard an extremely strong carrier about 5 min  before  22:00 very strong and wondered who the "local station" was.
It was KW1I and Dale was really very very strong, the meter on the R-392 was pegged.
I though that condx would be excellent tonight. Several  AM (with
carrier) stations appeared on the frequency and then the band began to take a heavy fade in and out.  W1AEA was loud one minute and then would fade, Pete was in and out. K1JHM initially was loud. I finally heard W2HX for several mins but rough copy.  But the best accomplishment was hearing  the famous Jack Antonio  WA7DIA from Warner Robins GA, Jack was 
right at the beginning about S-2     - -   -  and I acknowledged  Jack 
and relayed to Dale. But the skip as usual was strange and the deep fades really started.  Overall a successful night  because we were able to hear Jack and Eugene but I had to check out at 15 after the hour for family matters.
So  Jack wins the best DX for the M and S net.
