Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Worked Al - DC5GD/P just before net, good recovery.

- De ON6WJ: My set up was TX: WS19MK2@10W + RX: BC221 Freq meter as Direct Conversion receiver with one stage RF amplifier (no other help). One stage regen RF amplifier + cathode follower to feed the 1942 BC221 beast (all credit to Lewis Mc Coy QST Nov. 1962). According the BC221 (first calibrated against nearest -red-calibrating marker in the book) all SSN stations were exactly on 3566 kHz +/- 10 Hertz hi x 3.

80 m: 1900 - 2013 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DC5GD: Catastrophic this evening, miserable conditions, awful QRN and QRM. I could copy letters now and then and some call signs. I went QRT after 20 minutes.
- De F5LAW: Very nice session in spite of heavy QRN and deep QSB. Thanks to Durk - PA3BYW for running the session and to Darrel - AA7FV for listening to today's nets via webSDRs.
- De F6EEQ: Well... for me it was not a nice session!!! Very heavy atmospheric background noise (not QRN). I already had the problem in the morning in our regular QSO (3564, 8:45/9:30) noise making some kind of interference with CW and erasing the signal. At the beginning I could barely copy Durk, and absolutely no copy on John. During second round, things were better, and I could copy everyone. Before the SSN I was with Al DC5GD but signal were very weak. We had a short QSO, so I could improve my German copy, but then he sent me a SMS to say that for SSN there was too much QRM and small signals.
- De AA7FV: A very enjoyable net. It was great to hear the keying of so many friends that I have not yet been able to work. Many thanks for the greetings at the close of net.

- De M0HTE: Durk and Yann gradually improved to 599. Rudy, 599 throughout. Fried - nil copy but thought I could hear you faintly at the end but not enough to copy.
- De F6EEQ: once more, a bad SSN session! I was listening at 20:40 (LT) and could barely hear Yann CQ. After Durk had some burst @ 589, but only for a handful of seconds. I heard also Rudy, but also with very deep QSB. Finally I switched off @ 21:30, without calling the gang because propagation was too bad.

At end, even a big "anti-mosquito wax candle" didn't help anymore, I gave up ,stopped the fight and applied for asylum in the house LOL.

80 m: 1900 - 2049 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Good signals, some heavy QRN at times. At end of session: G4ZXN with 25W into MLA was RST 599; same report with the One Valver (EL84) running 5W into the G5RV, UFB Martin; ON6WJ was RST 599 +10dB with the WS19 running 12W into the doublet, UFB Jos. MCI BCP to Darrel - AA7FV for the very nice SWL report from Geneva, much appreciated!
- De DC5GD: Strong QRM with 9+60 dB by an (SRI) idiot not reacting to my "QRL PSE QSY" sent several times. He was just sending a single long tone always. Perhaps German army located directly by my side... WX extreme: thunderstorm with wind abt. 100 km / h and heavy rain. Many flashes so I had to go of. Was listening for some time via SDR in Constance but no fun when one is just listening hi hi.
- De ON6WJ: G4ZXN 599 +20dB steady. Afterwards Martin's signal frm Magloop/15W good for only 599 ;-).
- De AA7FV: Listener reports from aa7fv in Geneva. Using a small portable receiver with a 55-cm whip antenna, inside my hotel room. Naturally, a very high noise level here inside the hotel.

Could only cpi single letters and when I was called the carrier was in the air. So nothing to report from me. Hopefully this will get better next time(s) but now it was already the 3rd time this - pardon me - idiot was there and disturbed me.

80 m: 1900 - 2024 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F6EEQ: As usual John is very difficult to read for me, as his report is always around 589/579 just under the background noise. This session was particularly noisy with heavy QRN. I do not know if this is coming from sun conditions, but this is annoying. I also think that the skip is not very favorable for north, but it is strange that I hear Martin rather well, and almost not John.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: François - ON5AG turned 91 today (28/10), Happy Birthday wishes from the group.
- De DC5GD/P: All Stations strong QSB up to no signal but anyway cpi most msgs. Heard Martin rather good, not often the case, vy happy about his clear and very accurate Morse code.
- De ON6WJ: Doublet with one leg sloping to grnd level (was attached at electricity pole, but this mast is removed ,so must find another solution.)

80 m: 2000 - 2128 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: M0HTE: 579 first round, but 339 later. F5LAW: 239 at QNI but went to 599+20.
- De M0HTE: QSB, stations were in and out quite a bit. NCS: constant signal. F6EEQ: Better than I have heard you for a long while Gerard. OE8GBK: Nil copy first round then came in 229 with a slight improvement last round. F5LAW: Usually 599 for me but was not audible on call in then gradually improved to 559.
- De F5LAW: Extremely unstable conditions, poor paths gradually improving. Absolutely NIL at beginning from M0HTE and no copy on NCS, OE8GBK had to QSP my QNI to NCS and my QRY from NCS. Much better at end, strange conditions...
- De DC5GD: Unavailable.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Short session, bad QSB and no path to PA land. Thanks to Fried - OE8GBK for all QSPs.
- De DC5GD: an exciting session this evening - QSB and QRM up to loosing sigs of all stns. Anyway fun but speed is getting to a range difficult to cpi for me.

80 m: 2000 - 2124 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Very weak sigs/ QSB from OE8GBK. Hrd u were QRP. Heard some partial words but impossible to cpy. Hope better path next Sun. SRI no path to Villach, but good copy on John M0HTE.
- De OE8GBK: Normally I work from my "River side Cottage" but today from my flat, only with small power and provisionally LW antenna on balcony.

80 m: 2000 - 2058 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Short session but very good signals, solid copy in spite of contest QRM.
- De M0HTE: I switched on at about 1930 and found the band swamped by contesters and wondered if the Net would operate. Yann was calling at about 1950 but only partly heard through the QRM. The QRM cleared a space for us...

Sunday, December 9, 2018.

80 m: 2000 - 2129 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Very nice session in spite of very heavy QRN and deep QSB. Some CW and SSB QRM at times. Signal from OE8GBK stronger than usual with new FD4 antenna. G4ZXN went QRT after round 1 due to heavy local noise.
- De OE8GBK: Unusual strong QRN - like an thunderstorm. But the WX was vy clear and cool (temp -1 C).
- De M0HTE: QSB made condx worse by round three so I dropped out at that point.
- De PA3BYW: Annoying QRM from "CQ Icom" station and sum SSB QRM. Watched SM- web SDR. All stations were on the waterfall up there.

80 m: 2000 - 2116 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: I had a short QSO in between with Claude F6IJU fm Cluny in Burgundy, nice 599+ sigs with his 83m square sky loop. Didn't stay for the net. My rig: mcHF + KN electronics PA (kit - just finished), driving with 2W and 40W out.
- De F6EEQ: Did not participate too much on last sessions, but this one was OK: no QRM, low QSB and good signals. I think it's the first time I can copy John all the way along.
- De F5LAW: Very nice session, brand new IC-7610 TRX at F6EEQ and PA kit finished at PA3BYW, UFB!
