NB: Pre-2012 net data are not processed. The Region 3 Net started on February 5, 2017 and ended in 2020.
The following graph and tables provide an overview of the variations in the level of activity for this net and give a general idea of the HF conditions met during the sessions.

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.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18087.5 kHz.

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.
