- De AA7FV: Very poor conditions on 40m. Most of the net I was at 95 Watts, but right at the end of the session I went QRO in an attempt to get through better. I don't think it helped.

Notes:

- De AA7FV: Very high background noise on 40m tonight, but the stations I could hear were armchair copy. I had to QRT early tonight for my local radio club monthly meeting, so didn't try 80m. Thanks, Allen, fora great NCS job under difficult band conditions.

Thursday, February 3, 2022.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions from Arizona were quite good this evening. Steve had the worst weather tonight (storm, snow, low temperatures and hoping the power stays up) but John had had sleet and his temperature was only 20 F, rather low for TX.
- De KA5TJS: I did not make it last night. To darn cold in the garage and takes to long to heat it up. Next week I hope.

Thursday, February 10, 2022.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0135 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Some of the best conditions for 40 + 80 meters that I can remember for the SSN.
- De KT5LA: That is what I would call a spectacular net! Conditions were outstanding on both 40 m and 80, Though I see from Steve's comment that it appears the West Coast got the best conditions. Those are the reports from my station directly. I was also listening on the Utah based SDR and everyone was 589 to 599. It was Roy that mentioned that he'd never heard condition so good on the sideswiper net, and I have to agree.
- De W1SFR: Guys, VERY heavy QRN on 7044 here. No way I could check in on this QRG tonight.

Notes:

Notes:
- De W1SFR: I think I'm going to ask Bill to take me in as a boarder next time I an NCS. I don't think the Ham gods like cold weather. WX here has been nuts. 60 yesterday. 25 today. 9 tonight. Heavy snow tomorrow. Sheesh and Bill says it's 75 and flowers are out there! ! Thanks fellas for checking in and bearing with my not-so-great sigs from VT.
- De KT5LA: Well, it was a pretty good net except for the deliberate QRM. I had everybody at easy copy via the web SDR in half Moon Bay California. and almost everyone at home. The only station I had trouble with at the home QTH was W1SFR.
- De KA5TJS: 40 was best from ETX last night. QSB was fast and some QRM. Great job Steve, heard you on both bands but best on 40.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 7043.5 kHz  (QRM on 7044.0). Tonight I was alternating between the Twanger and Fat Boy sideswiper keys. WB5JWI: Great to hear Les on the net.  Sorry you had the QRM.
- De KA5TJS: The QSB was brutal last night. Most signals were good at one time or another HI HI.
- De WA4FAT: Terrific signals across the board tonight on 40 and Darrel's usual excellent stewardship of the Net!
- De WB5JWI: HEAVY QRM here. Lost everything, Darrel you were 599 until I lost all. Sorry.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0035 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Very fast QSB last night with S8 QRN from storm front 80 miles west of me. Great to hear Jon and Hugh in here tonight.
- De AA7FV: Rhombic antenna on tx, optional 4-ft active vertical on receive.
- De WA4FAT: Very noisy band conditions tonight on both 40 and 80, but Allen did his usual excellent job as NCS, thanks! Great to have Hugh, WB4JWD, joining us from Tuscumbia (AL) on his cootie (sounded great).
- De KD4ZFS: I was glad to be able to re-join the net. I've been away too long. As usual, AA7FV was weak for me, but better than normal tonight. Welcome WB4JWD.

Notes:

- De WA4FAT: Guessing the time change may have had something to do with tonight's participation (or perhaps everyone is watching March Madness - Go UAB Blazers!) - Looking for a bigger crowd next week!
- De AA7FV: Very high QRN on both bands, but much worse on 80m. On 40m my short active vertical reduced the QRN relative to signals somewhat, but it didn't help on 80m. (I don't understand why.)

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Again a good conversation with Cliff as no other signals heard. Yep, time to go back up to 30m. 80 was very quiet indeed.
- De WA4FAT: 80 Meters was a bust as NCS couldn't hear us. I think it may be time to retire 80 meters until the fall :-)
- De KA5TJS: On 80 I heard Bill but Steve was down in the noise and did not copy me that I could tell.
- De AA7FV: Nothing heard, not even any RST 119 signal.  I even tried a CQ SSN, but nothing.
- De K6GVG: Now I know why I didn't hear a thing on 30 m., seems the net moved to 80 m. Unfortunately, 80 m will generally be out for any decent Midwest or East Coast QSOs for the remainder of the summer. And so really agree that 40 and 30 m will be the bands of choice for at least the next few months.
- De KT5LA: On 3568, I heard AA7FV at 229 on the SDR and nil at home, so I did not try there.

- De WA4FAT: Heavy QRN here from nearby thunderstorms but all signals were Q5.
- De KA5TJS: Wow, I missed a good one. I did try but Darrel was 559 and the QRN was 579. Very poor copy. The thunder storms had just moved off to the east and static crashes made copy very poor. Then more thunder. I unplugged.

- De KT5LA: On 30 tonight, I had less noise, but I could not hear the station closest to me physically, while on 40, that same station was 59 (and a little over). I listened on the K6KFS web SDR until I started having network issues.

- De K6GVG: Same condition for me on 30 m with Jay, just too close! But eastern stations greatly improved later on this band.  Bill, in particular,  peaked at S9. And Darrel is always S9 regardless of band.
- De KT5LA: 30 meters sounded great tonight, unless I was looking for a station nearby. I couldn't hear Roy just down the coast from me. But he was booming in on 40!
- De WA4FAT: An excellent Net on 30 Meters but the web SDR definitely helped with the west coast stations.

The band seemed in pretty good shape but perhaps I was just too late. I hated to leave W4BWS without inviting him to the SSN. He said he used a sideswiper occasionally, so perhaps he'll join us one evening.
- De AA7FV: Heavy QRN on both bands.  Relatively poor conditions into Arizona tonight. Before Bill called, I heard K6GVG on 7044.0 kHz, with QRM.

- De K6GVG: My particular appreciation to Darrel for the never-ending QSP's on my behalf.  I certainly needed them on 40 m!  The Hustler, balcony-mounted mobile antennas don't hear that well, nor does my pre-SDR Icom 7600 radio.  So help from all is certainly most useful.

30 m: Friday, 0000 - 0025 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions good on both bands, although signals were beginning to drop out on 30m.
- De KT5LA: Well, this was one of those rare occasions where I had a better signal at home on 40 meters than I did listening through the SDR (Utah). I QSO'd with Darrell before the start of the 30 m net, and for the start, (and for most of it) He was a solid 59 signal. But the band began to close during the net and while the signal continued very good, there was some deep QSB throughout.

- De KT5LA: On 40 m, I had to switch to the half Moon Bay, California SDR (the Utah SDR that I was using -- SDR Server #2-- doesn't have 40 m), and signals were much better throughout the 40m net here at home in Southern California.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Both bands were pretty good for me and I had copy on all. Lots of storm crashes and some QSB but not a deal breaker.
- De AA7FV: I also briefly heard K0AMY call, but I don't think he realized it was a net. Just as we were all QSY to 40m, N2TNN called NCS.  I didn't reply.
- De KA5TJS: Real good copy on all tonight. QRN was very low here and the QSB was better than it has been. Welcome to K9NUD, very good signal tonight.
- De WA4FAT: Sorry to be late but we had thunderbumpers rumble through here right before Net time.

- De WA4FAT: I'd describe this session of the SSN as quality over quantity - a very enjoyable Net tonight with FB signals from all on both bands.
- De N9EE: I was going to check in. I had another UHF repeater net at 8:30 (0030 UTC)... I did try around 8:55 (0055 UTC), heard on operator and he said net was QNF.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Two busy sessions tonight.  QRN from lightning here in AZ, but good copy on most stations.  Overall, for me 40m was slightly better than 30m.
- De WA4FAT: Roy's Hustler antenna continues to amaze, and Jay's maritime operation makes me envious. I could copy everyone over the air, but the Northern Utah Web SDR provided significant relief for Jay and TJ (sure nice to hear K9TJL after a long absence).
- De W1SFR: QRN, QSB bad here so couldn’t check in. Hope bands are better next time.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Thanks for going with the flow guys and the QSPs from Darrel. You would think out of all the tons of swipers I send out into the world that we would get at least one other Northeaster to sign in! HiHi.
- De WA4FAT: Once again I was in the sweet spot geographically as all stations had fine signals on both 30 and 40 meters. I had the Northern Utah Web SDR fired up just in case but didn't need to use it at all.
- De KT5LA: Excellent signals from Utah SDR on both bands from all participants. 30m was better for me here... very good copy on almost all stations here in So. CA. On 40, while strong on the SDR, I heard only AA7FV and K6GVG well (S9 both) and WA4FAT just barely. On 30m, Bill was doing well here at S7-8.
- De N9EE: WA4FAT was strong, 20db over.  Could copy most all on both net freqs, best on 30m, even K6GVG. here in Florida.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: Tonight's sessions of the Sideswiper Net were as pleasant and enjoyable as any I can remember. Conditions on both 30 and 40 Meters were above average and every participant could hear the others well - no QSPs needed. And due to the modest turnout, each Net check-in had several opportunities to do what we all love - take pleasure in our sideswipers.
- De AA7FV: A superb net.  Conditions were the best I can remember, on both bands.
- De KA5TJS: Great net tonight! Conditions improved to CA as the sun went down on 30. Real good signals on 40. The extended time was great.
- De K6GVG: I have never been able to copy all stations before on either 30 or 40 m.  Alas, the 6-ft long Hustler mobile antennas don't hear that well, especially from their balcony-railing mount on the even further "left coast" side of this concrete/steel condo.  So, surprising and pleasing to here all!

Notes:

A BIG welcome to Chris, WX7V, in Dallas running one of Steve's fine cooties - great to have ya! Also very nice to have  Ken, WA3RSR join us again from his Lubbock QTH. Have a safe trip back to Maryland.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: N9EE/4, Ron called just as we were QSY to 40m.
- De WA4FAT: Really fine conditions on both 30 and 40 Meters for the SSN on Thursday. I ran the recorder for both sessions. 30m recording.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: Well, 40 is a tad long for me now at 0100Z, perfect for the more distant stations but no copy from about 500 miles in. And 80 was not long enough as I couldn't copy a peep from Vermont or California. Darrel, AA7FV, makes his own propagation with that Rhombic and I could probably copy him on any band :-) All in all another fine session of the SSN but a bit more challenging. I relied on the Northern Utah Web SDR to copy Allen on 40 and Jay on 80, but it was no help with Steve. Thanks so much to Darrel for the QSPs.
- De WA3RSR: I wanted to join tonight. I am back in my Maryland QTH after driving from Texas.  But I could barely hear anyone. Darrell was about 559, but everyone else was in the noise. I thought there was a solar storm or something was wrong with my antenna until I called CQ on 7052 and the RBN gave me decent spots from all over Europe. I guess the band was long in Maryland. Il'll try again next week.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7043.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Wow strange night! Band had strong QSO on 7.044 and 7.045. I moved down to 7.0435 to get away from the QRM. 4 Ops found me. Roy was outstanding with his Hustler mobile antenna. Lost just about everyone on the second round here. Band went long big time.
- De WA4FAT: A most interesting Net tonight. 7044 was busy and so Allen moved down about half a kHz. Perhaps some of the regular crew never heard us there as the turnout was sparse. 40 Meters dropped out like the flipping of a switch, no time even for QSB, just strong one second and nada the next.
- De WX7V: Thanks Bill for the QSP as I could not hear Allen KA5TJS.
- De W1SFR: No joy here last night. Sorry guys.

Notes:

- De WX7V: Happy thanksgiving!  I was looking forward to both nets tonight.
N9EE's X6100 QRP TRX, click to enlarge picture - De N9EE: Good nets tonight.  Copied all on 7.044, but on 3568 copied AA7FV & WA4FAT, but WX7V very weak. I am sure I was to Chris also. Here QRP with my X6100, see attached photo.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: Conditions on 40 were tremendous with the strongest signals I've ever heard from our left coast stations. 2 recordings from the 40 Meter session: This recording was made locally, using the functionality found in my IC-7300. And this one is from the Northern Utah Web SDR.

80 m: Friday, 0130 - 0155 UTC, 3567 kHz.

Notes:
- De KT5LA: 0130 UTC 3567 kHz  There was enormous digital QRM of some sort on and around 3568 kHz. I came on frequency and heard Darrell begin a call, only to stop when a very strong digital signal came on. It nearly popped my eardrums in So. CA, and I could only imagine how loud it was in Arizona, particularly through a rhombic!
- De KA5TJS: Digi Dorks were on 3.568 so we had to move down a little. May have kept a few away.
- De WA4FAT: Propagation was expectedly less stellar on 80 but still more than adequate.

- De KT5LA: Condx on 40 seemed to favor us all by region: west was well heard here, southeast and east, not so much. Happy New Year everyone!
- De WA4FAT: Another excellent end-of-the-year session of the SSN, superbly directed by AA7FV, NCS. From my family to yours, all the best in 2023 with an extra helping of peace, love, and happiness. 73, y'all!
- De KA5TJS: Well I got checked in anyway! Thunderstorms and lightning most of the night and had to unplug after the start of the net. Signals were good with QRN here. 5 inches in the rain gauge this morning. Thanks Darrel for the QNN and everyone have a Happy New Year.
