Sunday, January 10, 2021.

80 m: 2000 - 2040 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Conditions were awful, noisy band and deep QSB. Didn't hear more QNI's. Hope to meet you agn next week in better condx.
- De M0HTE: Peak reports. Nil heard from any other station.
- De F5LAW: Great EU SSN last Sunday but one of the worst ever today, a disaster! High local noise level so using GB3WB webSDR in Weston-Super-Mare. Peak reports for both stations via direct during round 3.
- De DL2KHU: Skip to long. So I could not check in. Hpe better conds next Sunday. Here my rx-rprts.
- De ON6WJ: I was QRV but due poor propa, condx nada zero could not hear any one the first 10 minutes. So went QRT (too cold in the shack).
- De DC5GD: Totally nil. Sometimes a beep but most time only "Shhhhhhh....". Tried to call in anyway but no response of anybody.

Sunday, January 17, 2021.

80 m: 2000 - 2108 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Short QNI list but very nice session. Local QRM here so using F6BIR and GB3WB webSDRs. Reports via direct: PA3BYW, solid copy throughout; M0HTE, no report, no copy, signal at noise level; M5TUE, at noise level during rounds 1 and 2, then solid copy during rounds 3 and 4 with a signal up to 10dB over S9, great with ten watts!

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: DL5MB, Martin, First time on the net, didn't stay long.
- De DL2KHU: Nice to hear Martin DL5MB for the first time.
- De F5LAW: Most signals much stronger than my local noise level. Excellent +20dB signal from DL2KHU, amazing! QSX on G0XBU and DK0TE webSDRs for weaker signals.

Sunday, February 7, 2021.

80 m: 2000 - 2050 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Well, a total fiasco at this end, atrocious conditions + local QRM. Not same QRM as before but kind of a TV/PC noise, awful! I switched to webSDR at end. Thanks Durk for taking NCS at end, hopeless here. A warm welcome to Dick - PA3CW, let's hope for better conditions next time.
- De M0HTE: Sorry Yann. Condx poor last night. I had you 589 but QSB dropped you to nil. No other stations heard and you couldn't hear me after the first round so I went QRT, better luck next week.
- De PA3BYW: PA3CW, Dick was using his Mag Loop and just started using a cootie. (Being a ex RO, that wont be a pbm I guess).
PA3BYW's homebrew Nano cootie, click to enlarge picture Picture of my home made tiny Nano cootie (size: 35mm x 20mm).
- De DL2KHU: no good conds yesterday evening. I had strong QRM on 80 m. Usually in spite of the QRM on 80 m I can receive also weak signals with the DSP-tricks of my TS-870S but yesterday the sigs were to weak. I heard only Yann with RST 359 QSB.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: PA3CW, Dick, first time on SSN. TS890, Mag Loop, 3D printed cootie. Dick did a very good job on the cootie, FB.
- De F5LAW: What a nice session! Very pleased to welcome Dick - PA3CW who was doing UFB.

Sunday, February 21, 2021.

80 m: 2000 - 2042 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Terrible conditions, we gave up at 2042Z. Very pleased to work Bjarne - SM7FBJ, super cootie operator, long time no hear. I was running QRO 50W but guess that didn't help at all.
- De DC5GD: Deep QSBBBBB, S-Meter jojoing from 2 to 8 without any signal in the air!!! Watching the S-Meter was like watching a tennis match, eyes were always moving left - right - left -right ... Despite using all available filters here most time only heard a "Shhhhhhhhh" (and added "....it" hi hi).

Sunday, February 28, 2021.

80 m: 2000 - 2052 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Good conditions till end of round 2. Then all signals down in deep QSB. Last man standing: John M0HTE.
- De F5LAW: Very nice start but skip changed at end of 2nd round around 2040 UTC and QSB got us all. A warm welcome to Ralf - DJ1RP and great to have Colin - G3VTT with us tonight.
- De G3VTT: Nice to be back again, at least for now. I lost everybody at 2040z and couldn't hear a thing! There is also a noise around 3566 at my end. Better luck next time I hope.
- De M0HTE: Condx good at start but with quite a bit of QSB. Lost contact with everybody except Durk on the last over.
- De ON6WJ: SRI but at the the end of Ralf's round, here the lights went out: only noise, listened for extra 10 minutes but zero SSN sigs here, so went downstairs, put the TV-set on and... fell a sleep (like usual).

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Very nice session with excellent conditions. New antennas: a delta loop in progress at M0HTE (still low, up 2m, waiting for a pole); a new ZS6BKW at G0IIK.
- De M0HTE: Put the Delta loop ant up last week and have had some good contacts but need to get it up in the air. Will ring an aerial rigger this morning and see what they can do.

Notes:

- De F5LAW: Excellent conditions, excellent NCS, great session indeed. Very broadband digital noise at times (amateur origin?), strong at end of net.

80 m: 1900 - 2040 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: 3566 kHz QRL at net time so QSY to 3565.5 kHz and back to regular QRG after round 1. John - M0HTE, well done with the delta loop.
- De M0HTE: Quite a bit of QSB throughout. Changed from LW to the Delta loop after round 2 and was pleased that signals improved. Daughter gave it to me for Christmas and I have only just had enough dry wx to get it up!
- De PA3BYW: Good condx but sum QRM from broad band digi station and a fellow with QSV on 3565.5 kHz. Net shifted to 3566 kHz. Signals from M0HTE were excellent with Delta loop.

80 m: 1900 - 2030 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DC5GD: What a sced! Condx were not bad but terrible. High QRN due to pending thunderstorm and QSB to nil made me quit after 2nd round.
- De M0HTE: I heard Durk PA3BYW 449 peaking 589 at times and Jos ON6WJ 599 but don't think they could hear me. Better luck next week.
- De F5LAW: Unavailable, heavy TSTM, antennas disconnected. Many thanks to Durk - PA3BYW for running the net, well done fellows.

Notes:

80 m: 1900 - 2022 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Very nice session in spite of a bad deep QSB. Special call sign PA60VHSC operated by Bob - PA5V to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the VHSC.
- De DL2KHU: noisy band hr and deep QSB. I did QNI with my FT-7B but this evening the sigs from a strong nearby station came through the 3000 Hz filter and put down the sigs from Yann to R2 and from Martin to nil. So I changed to the TS-870S. Not the right skip to GB.
- De PA3BYW: Rig: TS-830S using first IF to drive my mcHF rig with a bandscope.

- De PG4I: Very nice to be visiting the net from my holiday location, just a few km from the Waddenzee in the North of Friesland. I brought along a TS-520SE and a fiberglass mast with a dipole, key is a Begali Sculpture Swing. Great to have some room for a big antenna! Propagation was excellent.

- De M0HTE: I went QRT after first round as unable to copy stations well enough to read. Hope to QRX next week.
- De DL2KHU: As usually on Sunday evening I sat expectantly in my armchair, the TRX rustled on the 3.566 MHz and I waited for the call from the NCS. But nothing happened. The S-Meter showed the usual local noise, so the antenna seemed to be working. Some minutes after 20:00 UTC a few weak beeps that sounded like a sideswiper, but deep QSB and nothing to copy. Must have been after rnd 1 when I could QNI. First rough copy but then conditions improved.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Signals into noise after round 1. Tnx for trying fellows.
- De DL2KHU: First good conds but after rnd 1 sigs went down to RST 139. I heard, that there was traffic but could not cpi.
- De F5LAW: Nice start but abrupt change after round 1, QSB got us all... Thanks for your patience friends.
- De M0HTE: The Net started ok with following peak reports but QSB took us out. I went down the band after we finished but nothing much there, same on 40m.

80 m: 1900 - 2048 UTC, 3566.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Contest QRM 5, the net shifted up 0.5 kHz. We started the net one hour earlier hoping for better conditions. No significant change, band unstable, PA3BYW and DL2KHU lost one another in round 3, back to RST 599 both ways at end. Great to have DC5GD back with us, Al had to give up because of the contest QRM. Peter - GM3VMB joined the fun at end of net.
- De DC5GD: QRM 5 from a contest station, the undesired stn was 599+60 dB!
- De M0HTE: Unavailable.

80 m: 2000 - 2126 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De M0HTE: Quite a bit of QSB throughout and QRM from ssb station and a strong cw signal nearby. Peak signals:
- De F5LAW: Back to normal start time, 2000 UTC. Hard going at first but all signals improved after a few minutes, great! Happy Saint Nicholas/Sinterklaas!
- De DL2KHU: Good conds, relaxing session. Some QSB at the beginning but then solid signals.
- De ON6WJ: Good condx! A bit QSB + bit QRM of SSB stations in the neighborhood.

80 m: 2000 - 2158 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Rewriting my summary. I was about to report a real flop for this last net of 2021, but happy ending, good QSOs with Durk and Peter after a very tough and discouraging beginning: 1950 UTC, calling CQ SSN. Heard Durk, but 229 at best, NIL most of time. Think I heard another station, DL2KHU, or maybe M0HTE? 129 at best. Tried several webSDRs to check my signal, NIL in UK, Belgium, good on DK0TE in Friedrichshafen. Lots of CQ SSN till 2045 UTC, no takers. Gave up and went in next room to write summary, leaving audio from TRX in shack. 2011 UTC, suddenly heard Durk signing off with good signal, 589, back to the shack and called him and great chat with armchair copy at both ends, up to 599 +10dB. Peter checked in at end and we had a very nice chat. Better cnditions in 2022! A Happy and Healthy year 2022 to you and yours friends.
- De PA3BYW: Heard vy faint signals from Yann F5LAW. No copy, so went to HB9EXC web sdr. There QRK4-5.  Noise level S8 here... :-( Gave up... After QNF I gave my c/s just to see if it could be picked up at a web sdr and Yann F5LAW heard me! Signals gradually improved. Max RST 599+10. We had a nice chat. After my QRT heard Peter GM3VMB: 599. Sorry no QSO. 73 Durk PA3BYW, HNY.
- De DL2KHU: Local QRM on 80 m was S 9 plus 18 dB. Could not cpi any station, sri. Hpe better conds next Sunday. I wish all stations a happy and healthy new year.
