Report Tables.

Sunday, January 5, 2025.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: At check-in there was another station calling, but down in the noise and with rapid QSB.  Sorry, I couldn't get the call. ** Yann, I just read your SSN report, and I'm sure that other station I heard must have been you.  Very sorry I couldn't copy well enough.
- De KN6BAZ: 20M NET started with Darrel's signal below 559, rather unusual. I tried to call several times, but Darrel had no copy. Then, suddenly, half way through the net, signal recovered to 599+, and my call was answered. It looked almost like a different antenna been used, considering the difference. Pedro had a good signal with good copy, and I could also copy K2MER, Mark.
- De F5LAW: I gave the Intercontinental sessions a try today but very poor conditions, I didn't stay. A very Happy and Healthy Year 2025 to you and yours fellows, BCNU.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 18088.5 kHz  (POTA activity on 18088.0). 1610 UTC the POTA activity finished, so we moved to 18088.0 kHz. KA9S Jeff in IL, rejoining the SSN after a long pause.  Welcome back Jeff! ** Yann, again, very sorry at didn't hear you on 17m either.  Very poor conditions (see below).  Many thanks for trying to get through. I hope it'll be much better next time.
From: SWPC NOAA. There was an abrupt increase in solar proton flux reaching the earth today, which will have increased the background noise and given extra attenuation to signals crossing the polar regions (such as from EU to AZ). A solar X-ray flare at 16h UTC, just at the start of the 17m net, was responsible for a minor (R1) radio blackout.  The sun has been very busy in the last couple of days.
So overall, not great conditions today.

Sunday, January 12, 2025.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Another station was calling (RST 119), but sorry, I couldn't copy the call.
- De KN6BAZ: Similar to the last week, I had difficulties checking into the 20m SSN NET at the beginning. Darrel's signal was at 559, rapidly increasing to 599+ 2/3 into the net. I called again, and was spotted by Chris, and eventually Darrel replied, confirming a check-in. It is really fascinating how quickly ionosphere changes on 20M in the morning.
- De F5LAW: Unavailable.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 18087.5 kHz (Activity already on 18088.0 kHz). I had trouble with my own key connection this morning, especially at the very end of the net, but problem found and now fixed.   Sorry about that!
- De KN6BAZ: I also tried to check-in to 17M net, but clearly at my QTH the signals were rather weak with QSBs.

Sunday, January 19, 2025.

20 m: 1500 - 1533 UTC, 14055.25 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions were unusually bad today, with more than usual QRM, QSB etc.  It'll be better next time!
- De KN6BAZ: 20M NET Darrel's signal below 529 at the beginning of the net, and I couldn't check-in. Then up to 599 with successful check-in. Good copy on K9TJL, with signal peaking at 529. TJ reported no copy on my signal.

Sunday, January 26, 2025.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055.6 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055.6 kHz  (I moved up a little to avoid activity already on 14055.0). Conditions on 20m were not good,  because of QRM.  However 17m QRM was much worse today.
- De KN6BAZ: The same pattern continues during the 20M NET.  Darrel's signal is weak, around 529 at the beginning of the net, but rapidly improves toward the middle, reaching 599+ and allowing for an easy check-in afterward. I was able to copy K2MER, but the signal was weak and affected by QSB.
- De WX7V, F5LAW: Unavailable.

17 m: 1600 - 1616 UTC, 18088.1 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 18088.1 kHz  (Trying to find a spot away from the pileup, but they were spreading too much.) The QRM on 17m was the worst I've heard during a SSN.  A DX pileup of stations spreading up and down several kHz around the frequency. I think they were probably calling SV1GA/A who was 10 kHz lower in frequency, and who was coming into AZ quite well. I gave up and closed the net early, at 16:16 UTC.

Sunday, February 2, 2025.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Just before, and during, the net this morning there were alerts for minor (R1 and R2 level) radio blackouts. R2 (Moderate) Radio Blackout 02 February. Region 3977 produced an impulsive M5.1 flare at 02/1404 UTC.

Sunday, February 23, 2025.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: One other station called, but at RST 129 too close to my noise level and very sorry, I couldn't copy any of the call.
- De KN6BAZ: Great signal propagation during today’s 20M NET. Darrel’s signal was strong from the very beginning, peaking at 599 and making for an easy check-in. I was able to copy Allen, KA5TJS, but his signal was affected by QSB. Unfortunately, we lost him after the first round.  Hopefully, everything is okay, perhaps just some technical issues... Chris, WX7V, had a strong signal and remained easy to copy throughout the net.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: At 14:50 UTC the SSN frequency was in use by K2JVB  for POTA.  K2JVB very kindly agreed to QSY so that the SSN could take the frequency.  Many thanks!

Notes:
- De AA7FV: K4FTO and W7DMX also called, but only looking for a contest QSO and didn't stay.
- De KN6BAZ: Strong 599+10 signal from Darrel, easy check in, and solid copies through the NET. Dave's signal was just above the noise, making a local copy difficult. I had to switch to a WebSDR.

Notes:
- De KN6BAZ: 17m NET was a bit different, and I had to wait a bit before Darrel's signal became solid and stable, then checked in. 15 minutes showed a big difference from 539 and QSBs to solid 599. I also had a solid copy on Chris, and a good copy on Dave, though at times his signal disappeared.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I had heard another station calling, at about RST 119, but apologies I couldn't get any of the call.  Overall conditions on 20m sounded rather poor. At the end of the net I was called by AE2W in TN (559) but not SSN.
- De KN6BAZ: QTH: BORREGO SPRINGS, CA, USA. I was trying to check-in from Borrego Springs, CA using QRP rig. The dipole antenna had been setup behind a hotel. Before the SSN, I had a few QSOs, one from FL, and all looked good. But Darrel’s signal had strong QSBs, and he was reporting 119 on my calls, no copy. After multiple tries, I was able to checkin with report 329 at the end of the NET. I could also copy other stations. Great and challenging net.

Notes:
