Report Tables.

Sunday, January 1, 2023.

80 m: 2000 - 2013 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: A very bad start to 2023. Good signal at first from GM3VMB but lost in QSB after the intro. I think I heard M0HTE calling and nothing from PA3BYW. I gave up at 2013 UTC. A very Happy and Healthy Year 2023 to you and yours friends.
- De GM3VMB: Never had conditions that poor before. F5LAW was Q4 to Q5 but very weak and fluttery. I heard PA3BYW after we signed but with a similar signal to F5LAW's so difficult to read. May 2023 be a happy and prosperous new year for you and yours.
- De M0HTE: I couldn't hear F5LAW on the radio and only just audible on the sdr.web I called a couple of times but Yann couldn't hear me so gave up. Not much other activity on 80m my end either. HNY and 73.
- De PA3BYW: Total disaster. I heard F5LAW via web sdr in Italy. Tried to QNI but nil. I tried many websdr's tonite from Finland, Fuerteventura (Canarias), Ireland, Italy etc. I could here my signals clearly. But nearby web sdr's nothing. Happy New Year to all.

Sunday, January 8, 2023.

80 m: 2000 - 2118 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: First, wish you and your family a happy and healthy new year. Nice to hear you all but condx were vy unsettled. Some times I had to use a web SDR.
- De DL2KHU: Unstable conds and a noisy band but a great net. Vy pleased to meet you all in the new year.
- De F5LAW: Nice session in spite of extremely unstable conditions, very deep QSB on all stations, peak reports. Excellent signal from DL7ACH running QRP. A very Happy and Healthy Year 2023 to you and yours friends.
- De M0HTE: My vertical antenna is now back up on a new pole. I was using the delta loop most of the time but swapping it with the vert to see if readings changed but S number stayed much the same regardless of which one I had on.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Nice session, welcome back to Gérard - F6EEQ. Thanks to Rob - G4LMW for the SWL report, hope you can get back in soon dear Rob.
- De G4LMW: OK... so my last SSN was in 2009! (wid F5LAW and DK3UZ). Been QRT for quite a while. Was listening on the side tonight and heard most participants (I believe). Was lovely to hear the cootie “music” again. Managed to hook up my key but not having used it for 14 years, wasn’t quite confident enough to call in! Maybe sometime soon I’ll get to say hello again.

Notes:
- De DL2KHU: John, M0HTE: Michael DL7ACH called for the net. I answered and we had a nice chat until abt 19:20 UTC. Sri that we did not hear you. I had opened Maasbree web sdr but the connection froze. So I also could not hear you via web sdr.
- De M0HTE: Nothing heard on the SSN EU Net Sunday. I ran the rig up at about 1850 and listened until 1900 UTC. I heard Michael (DL7ACH) call but he couldn't hear me when I replied. I moved up to 30m and worked a number of stations there before QRT about an hour later.

80 m: 1900 - 2008 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Nice session but QSB a bit annoying. Good signals from Durk - DL/PA3BYW, QTH Hilders, near Fulda.
- De M0HTE: All stations were 599 via a WEB SDR station in Netherlands. I could hear my transmissions via the SDR station as well.
- De DL2KHU: Vy nice net. Conds fair, some local QRM and QSB. Better sigs after sunset. The black tits are ready with there chicks. Hpe the swifts also but I am not shure. So I set up the fishing-pole for the 12 m monopole.

Notes:

- De PA3BYW: Compass cootie on a new h/b Arduino keyer - designed by Peter GM3VMB. This keyer has 3 modes:
- Iambic A ( but Iambic B can be programmed as well if desired). + weight control.
- Bug mode. Dots are made by the keyer but dashes by hand.
- Cootie mode. All is send by hand but the keyer' s timing is used for spacing assist. It kinda forces you in a certain pace but keying is done exactly as I normally do. Strange experience though.
- De M0HTE: Peak as follows but all stations were 599 via WEB SDR.

80 m: 1900 - 2010 UTC, 3566 kHz.

Notes:
- De DL2KHU: Good conds. QSB and local QRM but no QRN at my antenna. Strong QRN at G3ROO web SDR. This Sunday I mounted the 7 m fishing pole at my balcony railing. So I can extend the normal 7 m monopole (direct from the railing to the next tree) into a 12m inverted L antenna. Sunday there are three sessions, 80 m "Siegerlandrunde", 17 m Intercontinental SSN and 80 m EU SSN. So the effort is worth it.
- De F5LAW: Nice session in spite of QSB and QRN, and... 29°C in the shack.

- De PG4I: Great to be back. I hope to find some more time to join the SSN in the months to come. Signals remained stable during the whole session. I had to retune the rig (TenTec Corsair I) 2 times for about 50 Hz during the session, luckily no-one noticed the drift. These old TenTecs have a Permeability Tuned Oscillator (PTO) know for drifting. I am already looking into building a VFO stabiliser. Another nice project!

- De F5LAW: A good start, all stations between S7 and S9+. At end of first round all signals down to 119. QSX to end of net via F4FPR's webSDR in Huelgoat (Brittany, west of F) where PA3BYW and DL2KHU had good signals.
- De DL2KHU: Could cpi all stations at QNI, at rnd 1 only Durk and Yann, later nil from all stations. Could cpi Durk until QNF via web sdr.
- De M0HTE: Condx varied. Sorry, I was called away during round one. Durk PA3BYW was 569 then lost him after round 2. Even the WEB SDR was poor for all stations. Being unable to get back in after first round I gave up and QSY'd to 40m.

- De M0HTE: Varied condx with some QSB and all stations 599 give or take via WEB SDR.
- De PG4I: The net started out with good signals. After 10-15 minutes into the session signals dropped suddenly some 4-5 S-points. Could no longer hear Yann and Durk. Only station I could copy was Jon GW0FJT with a steady 579. Very weird. I could still hear Durk in the very distance but after 40 minutes or so we got bombed by contest QRM.

Notes:
- De PA3BYW: Used G8URE web sdr with good signals on all (except ON4ASZ sri).
- De F5LAW: Very deep QSB on all stations around 2035 UTC. Back to normal for 3rd round but skip too long to receive ON4ASZ and M0HTE.
- De PG4I: At start of the net the MUF for short distances was at 4.0 MHz according to the Dourbes ionosonde but signals where not that great. About 45 minutes into the net MUF dropped quickly from 3.8 to 3.6 MHz and signals were getting weaker. I was afraid we were going to lose it, but then the MUF rose again and signals were getting stronger, very weird. I copied Michael at 589 towards the end.
- De M0HTE: All 599 via WEB SDR. Peak readings as follows.
- De AA7FV: I tried to listen to part of the EU SSN net last night using the Twente websdr, but conditions were disappointing. I did hear F5LAW, PG4I and PA3BYW, but only occasional snatches of anybody else. My Internet connection was also disappointing, with frequent dropouts sometimes making copy difficult.
