[PPRAANet] Local communications on 40m

[John Evans]

All,

   It might also be useful to collect some info in advance, in 
particular accurate descriptions of antenna(s) used for local comm, QTH 
(which can be obtained from QRZ.com), and successful and unsuccessful 
QSOs including stations worked, date and time,  and power run.  Any 
thoughts of other data that might be useful?

   I'm retired as well so I have more flexibility as to schedules.

I nominate Phil to pick a new date/time, and an HF frequency, and we'll see if we can get a few folks on the air to experiment. Phil, if you pick a time that the 147.345 repeater is not occupied, maybe we can coordinate on that repeater, so one person can transmit at a time, and listeners can report results?

If you have a low antenna that supports local communications (NVIS as it were) and would be willing to test out 40m SSB, I'd appreciate chatting about and trying to chat on the air.
