Sunday, January 5, 2020.

80 m: 2000 - 2100 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Heard vy faint signals in the background. But couldn't detect any C/S. Sorry I've missed Uli DL2KHU, Martin G4ZXN and perhaps other stations. 73/HNY.
- De F5LAW: Absolutely NIL from NCS at first, I couldn't QNI. Thanks to Giulio - IK2DED who checked in and QSPed my call to NCS, we made it at last. Heard very weak signal from Uli - DL2KHU at very end. First session of 2020, let's hope for better conditions next time... A Happy and Healthy Year 2020 to you and yours friends.
- De DL2KHU: no short skip this evening. I heard RA3PMW, F5LAS and IK2DED in QSO with Durk, PA3BYW, but I could not copy Durk. Also I heard F5LAW, Yann sometimes with a very week signal. At the end of the session I tried to check in but my sigs were too week in PA.
- De G4ZXN: Yes strange conditions, I did hear F5LAS and also Giulio IK2DED, but no one else...

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: 3566 kHz occupied, QSY to 3567 kHz. Enjoyed the session. Great QNI list!
- De F5LAW: Super session with excellent conditions, all signals gradually improveing. Glad Jan - ON4ASZ checked in again at very end, good QRP signal.
- De DL2KHU: A nice session. Vy pleased to work Giulio the first time.
- De DC5GD: What a pleasure to hear you after such a long abstinence! (And I will not be on air next Sunday - shame on me!) Good condx this time, even copied G0IIK, Nigel!!

Sunday, January 26, 2020.

80 m: 2000 - 2113 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Extremely unsettled conditions and heavy QRN here, poor path to PA. What a difference with last Sunday's excellent conditions and great QNI list.
- De DC5GD: what a mess this time. Band and condx were most terrible I ever had. All stns were nil several times. Some signs or even some words like standing side by side and next moment nothing but "shhhhhh" from the loudspeaker. This was not QSB but QSBBB. Anyway it was a pleasure to hear Durk playing his new, homemade key like David Garrett his Stradivari. Really a wonderful clear sound, cher ami Durk.
- De M0HTE: I came up last night and heard Durk briefly 559 then faded to about 229. Nil heard from anyone else on the net. I put in a couple of calls but don't think I was heard. Moving down the band I heard a DL station calling at S9 but he couldn't hear me. Checked my aerial this morning and it was still up!

80 m: 2000 - 2150 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DC5GD: Good session this time despite QRM all the time and QSB during last minutes. Had to leave after more than 1 hour of beautiful cootie sound of NCS and 7 ops. Best session this year! What a mess this time.
- De F5LAW: Great session but some very annoying QRM: digital mode, SSB, AM or FM?, CW beacon in background...

80 m: 2000 - 2035 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Ciara was a very impressive storm, strong wind at 115 kph here + violent gusts. Band was noisy with weak signals, I was wondering if my G5RV was still up... NIL from ON4ADI (QSP de DC5GD/P) and lost both DC5GD/P and G4ZXN in QSB. Been calling CQ SSN till 2035Z but most regulars were unavailable due to storm.
- De DC5GD: only heard Yann in first round, than some poor code from Martin but got the QRA. Some minutes before had contact to ON4ADI, Paul. Sig vy weak but we could exchange greetings and RST. Left after abt. 30 minutes of absolute silence and nobody responding to my calls.
- De M0HTE: Nothing heard on SSN this evening. Storms here today but the antenna stayed up!
- De PA3BYW, DL2KHU: Unavailable: TSTMs, antennas disconnected.

- De DL2KHU: Gld to meet Colin G3VTT for the first time. When checking in, the RX of my Kenwood TS-870 agn made problems. But this time my backup rig Sommerkamp FT-7B was ready installed. I only had to switch the antenna. Congrats Giulio. I saw the pics of the new cootie vendetta. A beautiful key.
- De F5LAW: Great session and very pleased to hear Colin - G3VTT. Giulio - IK2DED was using his new homebrew cootie, the "Vendetta", beautiful key and excellent sending.
- De G4LMW: Poor copy on most stations, so just sitting on the side for this one. Only G3VTT and PA3BYW audible.

80 m: 1900 - 2029 UTC, 3567 kHz.

Notes:
- De DL2KHU: I operated the TS-870 with a lead acid battery and had no RX-problems during the whole session.
- De F5LAW: 3566 kHz QRL, the net shifted up 1 kHz.
- De M0HTE: Hope you could read my Morse. The cootie blade broke just after the last SSN and I am waiting for some brass strip to arrive. The original one was using a hacksaw blade which actually broke while I was sending, hi, and I quickly plugged the straight key in to finish. The hacksaw blade was replaced with a brass strip which has lasted till last week. The Begali HST is not as flexible and it took me a little while to get back into the hang of it!

80 m: 1900 - 2100 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De M0HTE: Blackhawk cootie back in operation. Ordered some brass strip for the blade which took two weeks to get here. Have some spare strips now for when this one breaks.
- De DL2KHU: overall good conds but sum QRM from the crowded band and the sigs from GB not as strong as usual. The TS-870 has RX-problems at vy crowded 80 m band in the evening. Needs a smaller roofing-filter. So agn I used the old FT-7B. The rig is reliable like a Russian tank. Will try to get a small crystal - filter for CW.
- De ON6WJ: Overall condx: good to very good ,not to much background noise, neither QSB here.

- De DL2KHU: Last week the wind blew the upper fixing point of my monopole in the birch away. I had to fix it again with a long fishing rod. Now it is on another branch but seems to play agn.
- De ON6WJ: here picture of 41,15 mtr Zepp + home brew ladderline (plus bird watching on the director) the far end is somewhere in a tree at min 18mtrs up (with help of bow and arrow + nylon fishing line hi). 0,75mm² litze wire + 10cm wide spreaders (called "Rose clips") PVC and UV resistant ,used in flower agriculture.

80 m: 1900 - 2044 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: I'm sure another station tried to QNI, when SP1JPM called but lost him in the confusion of the moment. QSP to group, 73's de: DL2KHU, QNIed but couldn't stay; DJ6UX and G3VTT.
- De F5LAW: Great session in spite of unsettled conditions and some confusion at end. Glad Bob - PA5V checked in with special event C/S PB75LIB.
- De DC5GD: 1st transmission from home. I set up my equipment and the antenna under roof. Performance is very bad. Sunday EU session was not good, strong QSB to nil for all stations. Could not even copy all call signs. Sometimes not even a "shhhhhhh" from the speaker. QRN and QSBBB too. Even Durk and Yann showed very weak signals, of course due to my bullsh... antenna situation. UK was nil, I could not even hear a single "beep".
- De M0HTE: Sorry couldn't stay on last night. Rapid QSB. I didn't hear Durk at first then came in very weak about 229 with occasional improvements. Yann was quite a good signal peaking 589 but nobody else heard.
- De ON6WJ: Copying all stations on HB 3 tube regen RX.

80 m: 1900 - 2022 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Great session in spite of very heavy QRN level, 4 to 5 at end. Too bad we didn't hear Al - DC5GD calling.
- De DL2KHU: The DSP in the IF-Station of my TS-870S (first series) sometimes has problems on 80m and 40m when the band is vy crowded or vy noise from strong QRN. So this time I can only give a R4 to Martin and Nigel and a R3 to John.
- De DC5GD: After re-arranging my antenna things got worse. I heard just Yann, F5LAW and Durk PA3BYW. Tried to join but my sig was not recognized by anyone. Checked it on several SDRS: not sig there too. What a mess! Found some trees where I can put the antenna too. Will place it there the next days and see what happens.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Very nice session in spite of unsettled conditions. Great to work Al with new antenna set up and Durk in Germany near Fulda. John had to go QRT after round 1.
- De DC5GD: new antenna situation improved my condx. Yet not really optimal but much, much better. The S-Meter showed some strange effect while the SSN conversation: Not changing the frequency or anything it moved from 0 up to 5, in peaks even to 7. The "shhh" did anyway not get louder?! During round 4 I had terrible QRN. Sounded like statics. May be this is due to thunderstorms around. I could not cpi any GB stn as always.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Well, we made it but it was tough... QRN 5, phew... I QRO to 50W.
- De DL2KHU: What an interesting session. QRN 5, sometimes deep QSB but overall I could copy the most.
- De ON6WJ: in AGC mode (even with fast decay etc..) due the severe static pulses,the average amplified RF signal is bent towards the noise floor and most of the station's information is hidden or lost into the QRM marmalade. With extra 20dB RF attenuation, I switched OFF the AGC and went into "MGC" mode (manual gain control hi) but in this position the S meter needle does not follow anymore the signal amplitude... So all reports were done by ear.

Sunday, August 30, 2020.

80 m: 1900 - 2054 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Very nice net in spite of heavy QRN. Great to have Nigel - M5TUE back in the gang and nice chat at end with Jean - F5JX. Too bad I missed the calling station, too weak/QRN.
- De DL2KHU: A long an interesting session. At the end of the session I also heard week sigs. My first idea was ON4ASZ Jan, but then Jos would have heard him.
- De M0HTE: Good condx and a nice session. Nice to hear Nigel after some time.
- De ON6WJ: RX: 3 valver Regenerative, antenna =41mtr Zepp + 18mtr 600 Ohm, key is cootie (made by Durk, PA3BYW). Zepp runs from 8mtr (feedpoint) to ± 18mtr (at the odr end) tied in a tree ,used bow and arrow + nylon fishing line to fix the job,( have lost 3 arrows cos nylon rope broke ,did not find them back in the bushes hi x 3).

80 m: 1900 - 2037 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DL2KHU: Vy pleased, that Egon DK6XM joined the net.
- De ON6WJ: RX: 12SH7L RF amp + 12AT7 detector + 12AU7 CW filter regen. Current project: taming cheap (Ali Express) DC/DC converters to use as PSU (HT + Fil) instead of the missing dynamomotor supply in a BC348 receiver. If all works out, hope to be on air next session.

Sunday, September 27, 2020.

80 m: 1900 - 2038 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Nice session after the initial confusion (see notes below). I shifted back to 3566 kHz at 1910 UTC.
- De PA3BYW: Confusing start. A station from Hamburg was calling on 3566 so Uli DL2KHU replied and tried to clear QRG for SSN. Al, DC5GD also tried to QNI but had to much QRN. I started a short QSO with Uli to keep QRG clear. In the meantime Yann F5LAW had a QSO with Arthur, SP3CW on 3565. We all ended on 3566 kHz and net started with some delay. HI.
- De DL2KHU: yes, an interesting start. The station from Hamburg was Egon DK6XM, who joined the EU-Net on 6. September. So I thought, that he agn wanted to join the net. But because of deep QSB he did not recognize my call and my note, that the SSN will begin soon. Then Al DC5GD called CQ SSN with RST 589 but also did not hear us because of strong QRN and QSB. Then here he faded away in deep QSB. Overall strong sigs, rising at the end of the session, but QRN and deep QSB.
- De DC5GD: Seems things are different and depending on QTH: From my side the session was a catastrophe with everything: QRM, QRN and QSBBB (S-meter jojoing from 2 till 9 plus 30 dB all the time). No detailed rapports possible due to me hearing only single dits and dahs, sometimes a letter or two but never even parts of a communication. I gave up after 1/2 an hour listening and tuning between 3,565 and 3,567 MHz for a while. Please note: Even SDRs Eschende and Ravensburg showed no sigs.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Great session and delighted to welcome Peter - GM3VMB. Superb sending with his Optical cootie, Hacksaw blade and Touch operated cootie, all home made. Excellent signal from Durk - PA3BYW/P on the Isle of Texel. Steve - M0ECS and Bob - PA5V checked in at end of net.
- De PA3BYW/P: QTH nr den Burg, isle of Texel. Stn: TS50/ 100W, 10m vertical with coil in the mid action, Keycord cootie.

- De PA3BYW: After QNF: PA5FN, Hans QTH Spijkenisse 599. Was listening for a while. Hopes to be QRV next week. Used a straight key, mostly using Schurr pro or Begali paddles; PA3FUN, Chris 599. Short QSO said 73 to group.
- De F5LAW: QRM 5 from local noise here, listening mostly via a webSDR in the UK. Some reports below at F5LAW but rough copy at times even for strong signals. QRT 2036 UTC and QSX only via webSDR, missed ON4ASZ at end.
- De ON6WJ: Antenna: "Emergency" windom, fed by 600Ohm via open wire line max 5 meter above garden.

80 m: 2000 - 2133 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De M0HTE: Thunder in the air, I had to QRT after my turn in round 3.
- De F5LAW: Local QRM 5 here, listening via: 1st KiwiSDR at GB3WB, Weston-super-Mare. QRM level S9 at F5LAW, only part copy on stations peaking over S9: G0IIK and ON6WJ. QRK 5 on all stations via webSDR. QRT after round 1 at 2031 UTC and QSX via webSDR till QNF. Superb CW friends!

80 m: 2000 - 2033 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: A few attempts failed so QNF at 2030 UTC.
- De DL2KHU: Good sigs at QNI, then deep QSB. Not the right skip this evening. After passing the key in rnd 1 to John M0HTE nil from all stations.
- De M0HTE: A lot of QSB with stations fading out completely.
- De F5LAW: Local noise was S8 at 300 Hz RX bandwidth. Just heard some peaks at S9 from NCS, all others NIL via RX. All QRK 5 via UK webbSDR but lost John although my signal was still strong via webSDR. Strange conditions indeed.
- De ON6WJ: Thought there was something really wrong with my receiver, but no nearly the whole 80m was one QRM-source.

- De F5LAW: I went QRT at 2015 UTC after my over in round 1, then QSX till QNF via UK webSDR. Good signals from all stations via webSDR.
- De DL2KHU: strange conds. Seems, that the skip was to long. So I could not cpi NCS PA3BYW Durk. That made it a little bit difficult. Vy pleased to hear PA5V Bob agn after a long time. Seems, that PA5V was the only station, that could cpi me.

Sunday, November 29, 2020.

80 m: 2000 - 2100 UTC, 3566.4 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Shifted net abt 400 Hz up because strong 599 test terror on usual QRG.
- De F5LAW: Gave it a try but local noise is definitely too high. Heard Durk and Jos both 589 but QSB and noise got them both. Gave up at 2015 UTC.
- De DC5GD: There was a contest running and all I heard was "call sign - 599". What a mess! (...) BTW: I was using the home brew cootie from Durk, not my Junker as usual. I train the cootie hard and forget about the el bug following the advice of Uli. Indeed the millisec timing a el bug is requiring is stressing. With the cootie I am doing well except when I start thinking in dashes and dots. Then my sending ends up in a mess and I switch back to the Junker immediately.
- De DL2KHU: vy crowded contest band. I found Durk a few minutes after 20.00 UTC with a vy weak signal between strong contest stations and with deep QSB. First I only wanted to give a short report but then I stayed. I can say, that I heard Durk, Yann and Jos. I'm not sure, that I heard Al or John when Durk was calling them.
- De ON6WJ: Really fun to play with RF gain potmeter all the time (CW listening is without any AGC here).
- De M0HTE: All with QSB, I put out a couple of calls but don't think anyone heard me. Jos is usually very loud but poor condx last night.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Welcome dr Jon, G0FJT. Excellent sigs wid ur indoor wire loop. Chapeau outstanding cootie CW on the TWanger. Have a nice week. Merry Xmas all!
- De F5LAW: Very nice session under the baguette of Maestro Durk. A very warm welcome to John - G0FJT and great to have Colin - G3VTT back with us. High noise level here so QSX to F6BIR's webSDR from time to time via remote unit, M0HTE and DC5GD QRK 5. A very merry Xmas to you and yours friends, take care.
- De DC5GD: I was vy happy to cpi the 2 GB stations. I have rarely had this opportunity. I got lost after 1st round by a vy strong stn sending at our QRG + 1 kHz. First my filters were able to eliminate most of the signal but then he turned the beam into my direction I guess. (...) I could not cpi anymore after 2045 UTC and went QRT. Frustrating because I hoped to have a chat with Martin and John: These OPs I really heard rarely.
- De DL2KHU: Gld to meet G0FJT Jon the first time.

80 m: 2000 - 2133 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Happy and healthy New Year all!
- De DL2KHU: A bumpy start but then the conditions gradually improved. When checking in I heard only Durk PA3BYW but the sigs did not move my S-meter that shows S6 from the (local?) QRM. Rough cpi. Weak sigs from Jos ON6WJ through the QRM. Nil from other stations. Then the fog cleared. Local QRM went down to S4 and also the sigs became stronger. Yann was rising from nil to S9 and John to S5 in rnd 3.
- De F5LAW: Last EU SSN of 2020. Very rough or no copy at all via direct due to local noise level, switched to GB3WB webSDR in Weston-Super-Mare: Conditions improved during round 3, was able to copy most stations via direct but lost John via webSDR as skip changed. A very Happy and Healthy Year 2021 to you and yours fellows. Thanks to Durk for the super NCS job again this year and thanks all for your company, BCNU next year!
