[MRCA] Saturday Net - W8BUG AAR

[Garret Scott]

I heard several of you in there this afternoon, and I believe I may have
heard Ray calling me, but I didn't have the deployable antenna up yet, and
the mobile whip apparently wasn't good enough.   I was delayed at a
checkpoint where, unfortunately, I did not have my papers in order and it
delayed me getting to the mountain top with enough time to setup.  I'm not
kidding. 

 

Overall the band seemed pretty rotten at my location, on a 3,400 ft.
mountain peak near Oak Ridge, TN.   

 

At Approximately 1300, I had the RC-292 mast and 60m dipole up, and had much
better reception, but did not receive any response.   I did have several
decent QSO's on 7295 AM a little bit later.  

 

Just curious when most members quit monitoring 5357 KHz?

Happy Thanksgiving! Being that I had a couple days off from work with the
holiday I was able to do some of the other part time things yesterday and am
thinking of taking the "Moose & Squirrel" net on the road this Saturday and
operating from the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park, Fort Miles facility in
Delaware. Wanted to try to encourage other stations to try operating from
remote of field locations also.

The Net is at 12:00 hours local on 5357.0 USB
