Notes:
- De F5LAW: Hard going at first, poor path to PA and G, but conditions gradually improved. Short QNI list but nice session.
- De M0HTE: Not much doing on SSN this Sunday. I heard F6EEQ, Gerard 559 and Martin G4ZXN 229 and I think I heard Durk PA3BYW just breaking through but gave up trying to call in (I even went up the garden to check that my antenna had not come down!) I moved up to 40m and had a couple of QSO's but condx were pretty quiet...

80 m: 2000 - 2116 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Strange conditions again, hard going on round 3. Very nice to have Al - DC5GD back in the gang. Deep QSB on all stations, except OE8GBK, strong and steady in spite of antenna covered in snow.
- De DC5GD: Challenging session again this time. Strong QSB with sigs from nil to 589 and vice versa. First 2 rounds ok for me, lost contact to all but Yann during 3rd round.

Sunday, February 10, 2019.

80 m: 2000 - 2109 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DC5GD: I heard Durk tuning his PA and the first contact was UUUFB, really: Like he was sitting next to me. But like all other stns he had strong QSB with sigs going down to nil and coming up strong again. I did not hear any GB station all the time but seems at least John M0HTE was there. Sri! First 2 rounds ok for me, lost contact to all of you during 3rd round (same as last SSN) and stopped listening after I could not hear any sig for 10 minutes.
- De F5LAW: Absolutely awful conditions over here. Good path to Germany, DC5GD stronger than usual, DJ3TU booming in with 60W/MLA. Lost most stations in QSB/noise.
- De M0HTE: Poor conditions, all stations faded out during round 3.

- De F6EEQ: M0HTE Not heard, I was going QRT when you came John.
- De F5LAW: Very nice session, thanks to Durk for doing NCS. Congratulations to all on copying my QRP signal. Congratulations to Jos on his H/B regen RX, receiving all QNIs QRK 5, UFB! FYI, The blue tit family has left the nesting box the next morning just before noon.
- De ON6WJ: A - (for first reports I needed S-meter): TS590SG power 70 Watts into G5RV, key: Maniflex copy (made in Mildam). B - from my second tour to the end of session: only TX part of TS590SG + new build 1-V-3 regen RX's "maiden trip"... no Icebergs neither no smoke ;-). All signals QRK 5/5, even M0HTE's signals this time: loud & clear or 599 by ear.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Great net in spite of unsettled conditions at beginning and QRN 4/5 all the way. Signals gradually improving, Durk - PA3BYW started at S8 and was 20dB over S9 at end. Kees - PA3DEB (SK) was with us, Durk was using Kees' gears: The "Old Lady", his TS-830S + Annecke ATU and his homebrew PCB cootie key. Great to hear Jan - ON4ASZ again at very end.

80 m: 1900 - 2121 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: poor conditions boys. But most was heard QRK5 (except for John/ M0HTE) on yesterday's EU-SSN.
- De F5LAW: Strange conditions again, some bad QSB and very poor path to Friesland but QRK 5 on all stations. Smashing signal from Nigel - G0IIK.
- De ON6WJ: since the noisy 80m summer condx are back, I switched to my trusty K2 as receiver for the most simple explanation: the RATIO of "signal to noise" coming out the speaker/phones is much pleasant to listen than with TS590SG or IC7300 or KX3 clone (mcHF).
- De F6EEQ: Tried to check in SSN last night, but our propagation gods were not in a mood! I barely heard Durk and Martin. Yann was OK, but with QSB, and I gave up quickly. Summer time is not favourable to 80m!
- De OE8GBK: Unavailable.

80 m: 1900 - 2038 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DL/PA3BYW: Greetings from Germany. Sorry I couldn't join the fun last Sunday. We were in a German house in the valley of the river Gutach in the Black Forrest. I tried a short 2x6 mtr dipole on the balcony there but much too short for a nice SSN QSO. So listened for a while on a portable radio. Hrd: F5LAW Yann, PA5V Bob, OE8GBK Fried. Yesterday we moved to a small town near Trier (abt 50km east of Trier). Nice place. Here I've setup a 10m vertical with a coil at 5m. Using 2 short counterpoises. Seems to work ok on 80m. I try to be QRV evenings around 20.00-21.00 LT.

Very nice session in spite of local noise here. Great to work Durk from DL and Grumpy with his Bijou key at end.
- De DL/PA3BYW: DL QTH: Frauenberg, abt 50km east of Trier. We stayed in an apartment on a mountain here. Setup: TS50/ 100W, 10m vertical with loading coil at 5mtrs and 3 ground radials. Hb Compass cootie key. Sorry for short stay and QRX. Had a nice chat in between with the landlord, who happens to be a brass player like me.

80 m: 1900 - 2039 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DC5GD: very strange this time again. QSB up to nil with all (including Durk, PA3BYW) stations. The sigs went up to 9++ and seconds later nil. Not caused by my equipment but strange conditions. Perhaps the army was performing a training in their camp near by (neighborhood, sight contact). Nearly no signals from GB stations to be heard here unfortunately, but up to 9+20 for some letters / words. Also Yann, F5LAW I heard only in round 2 and 3. MNI TKS to Durk, PA3BYW for the excellent QSP job. I was lost after round 3...
- De F5LAW: Great session and no local noise here so QRK 5 on all stations. Very pleased to have Al back with us and maestro Durk à la baguette.

80 m: 1900 - 2014 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Very nice session, although somewhat fragmented. No path between DC5GD/P and M0HTE; PA3BYW had to go QRT before round 1 (phone call); PA5V QNI 1950 UTC with very strong signal as usual.
- De DC5GD: Again a strange session. Strong QSB and a QRQ-station some kHz below 3.566 MHz. I could copy as long as he was not sending but my imagination was that he just was looking for contacts ("r r = 599 tu bb" and next station). Send several times QRL to him but no reaction. Perhaps he could not hear me. I was lost after round 2 when I could only copy some letters or in best case single words.

80 m: 2000 - 2132 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De M0HTE: QSB in and out. PA3BYW improving to 579 on the last over. F6EEQ and F5LAW faded out completely on round 2. G0IIK and G4ZXN: lost copy on round 2 and some copy in round 3.
- De F5LAW: Very unsettled conditions. All stations were QRK 5 at first with strong signals. After round 1 most signals dropped down to NIL at times.
- De DC5GD: Unavailable, will be back on SSN ASAP.

80 m: 2000 - 2106 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Extremely fast changing conditions, hard going on M0HTE and PA3BYW most of the time. DL2KHU strong and steady until suddenly NIL at very end.
- De PA3BYW: I tried a ground RX loop, which is 4x7m in my case. Laying around the garden. S/N ratio a little better on Yann's signals but still difficult copy.

80 m: 2000 - 2113 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Obituary QTC sent with my TWanger key for the occasion. It is with great sadness that we announce that :Our good friend Tom Withers - G3HGE has become a Silent Key. Tom passed away on Tuesday 5th November after a short illness. He was a great CW operator and maker of Morse keys. Tom was the inventor of the TWanger Sideswiper key. He will be greatly missed. PSE observe a 30 sec. silence NW, AS... RIP Tom - G3HGE.
- De F5LAW: Nice session with a very touching obituary QTC + 30 second SP for Tom - G3HGE sent by NCS with his TWanger, MCI BCP Durk. Our TWanger keys are now orphans, 73 dear Tom. Conditions deteriorated on last round (4): skip longer, PA and DL stations weaker, YU stronger.

80 m: 2000 - 2030 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Awful conditions. Just heard Durk - PA3BYW and Martin - G4ZXN for a few seconds, then NIL. Been calling CQ SSN until 2030 UTC, no takers, just a QSO with DL6KW (2013 - 2020 UTC).
- De M0HTE: Not sure what was happening tonight. I heard Yann - F5LAW briefly then QSB took him out. I put out a couple of calls but no response. The rest of the band and 40m was also pretty dead here. I even went out to check that my aerial was still aloft!
- De DL2KHU: I heard only Yann F5LAW calling with a vy weak signal. A G4??? station answered and wanted to check in. No other stations heard. I did not try to check in. Sigs were to weak.

80 m: 2000 - 2134 UTC, 3567.3 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: QRG 3567.3 kHz, shifted because very crowded band with Contest QRM.
- De F5LAW: Very interesting session, conditions much better than expected, good signals and moderate QRM from contest.
- De DL2KHU: Good conds on 80 m this evening but many nearby contest stations sometimes made it difficult to copy.
- De M0HTE: Band crowded with 'test' stations and I had a filter on.
- De DC5GD: after a long silent period I was on 3.566 MHz on Sunday for 1/2 hour (20:55...21:25). Nobody was there and I called often "SSN? de ..." ... The contest with the "599 ... test ... fb ... bb" messages was frightening.

Sunday, December 1, 2019.

80 m: 2000 - 2115 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Nice start but quick deterioration after first round, deep QSB and noise. I first lost signals from PA3BYW and DL2KHU in round 2. QSB got all stations at end.
- De PA3BYW: Good first part but band changed. The most nearby stations (F5LAW and DL2KHU) were down to nil during round 2. UK and S-DL sustained a bit longer.
- De DL2KHU: good conds on 80 m this evening in round 1 and 2. In round 3 conds went down but I still could copy all stations except M0HTE. Yann gave the key to me and I answered but then all stations faded out.
- De DC5GD: First round was very good, then QSB out oft nowhere but strong varying sigs. I left after 2nd round.

80 m: 2000 - 2105 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Band unsettled, no path to PA and UK. I heard another station calling but no C/S copied, sorry. Better next time...
- De M0HTE: Nothing heard initially and I went down the band for a while and came back on QRG at about 2030. Condx a bit rough on 80m. I went up to 40m and worked a couple of stations after the Net finished then back to 80m and worked C31CT briefly.
- De DL2KHU: No path direction PA, F, G this evening. Did not try to QNI.
- De DC5GD: Unavailable.
