Intercontinental Net.
Section under development.
To move to a net archive page, use the list boxes in the upper-right corner. Select year, net and click on the "Go" button.
NB: Pre-2012 net data are not processed. The Region 3 Net started on February 5, 2017 and ended in 2020.
The following graph and tables provide an overview of the variations in the level of activity for this net and give a general idea of the HF conditions met during the sessions.
-
QNI Graph.
In each month column of this bar graph, the number of participants, Net Control Station (NCS) and participating stations (QNI's), is shown:
- Per week: first week at bottom of column up to fourth/fifth week of the month;
- Per month: red on white background on top of column.
The bottom row in the table shows:
- Total number of sessions;
- Total number of participants;
- Average number of participants per session.
Click on a month name at the top of the graph to jump to the "QNI table" listing all participants per session.
-
QNI Table.
This table lists all net participants per month, week and session. NCS's are marked with "*". "Visitors" are not listed unless they took part in a session. Click on a day date in red to jump to the corresponding report table(s) if available.
-
Report Tables.
These tables compile reception reports received from net participants or listeners (SWL's). NCS's are marked with "*". Each row of a table recapitulates the reports given to the participants by the station listed in the "De" column. Call signs in italics on a different background color in "De" columns indicate reception reports. Reports expressed in decibels, +10dB for instance, must be understood as values over S9.

Report Tables.
Sunday, January 7, 2018.
20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 W at first, then QRO to kW. Another 3 or more dB s/n on the intercontinental signals would make a big difference! Conditions for this first intercontinental net of 2018 were not great. Hopefully things will improve later in the year. All the best for 2018 to everyone.
- De F5LAW: HNY to all, let's hope for better conditions in 2018.
- De KA5TJS: AA7FV Nil to 599 at the end. Signals very low but Darrel came up nicely. TNX and CUL.

17 m: 1604 - 1636 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1603 UTC 21055 kHz: Nil sigs. 17m: Yann and me heard K3CKT Jim and AA7FV Darrel calling SSN from time to time. I lost Yann completely around 1630z. Jim and Darrel signed off at 1636z.
- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1605 UTC, 21055 kHz: NIL. 17m: Good path to CN but Completely lost NCS' signals at 1618Z. Signals back at 1629Z, then QSB, NIL again. NIL from USA here at end.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 17m: I briefly heard another "CQ SSN" under Jim at 1615 UTC (de F5LAW: that was me, sorry, I had lost all signals), but it disappeared in QSB. After signing with Jim at 1635 UTC I heard Med's call clearly, before it disappeared again into the QSB. I tried calling Med, but he couldn't hear me.

20 m: 1500 - 1555 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De KA5TJS: It was ruff but glad to hear you guys. I could not hear TJ at all and only pulled out about 50% on Yann. Jim started to drop out toward the end.
- De F5LAW: QRM 5 at first on 14055 kHz, but heard K3CKT calling, checked in. Checked alt QRG and heard AA7FV and K9TJL, QSPed net on 14055 kHz, QSY back to regular QRG.
- De AA7FV: 1500 UTC. Contest QRM on 14055 kHz, so listened on 14349 kHz, and found TJ (1502 UTC). Yann came up to tell us that Jim and Allen were in QSO on 14055 kHz. So, QSY: 1515 UTC 14055 kHz.

- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1604 UTC, 21055 kHz: NIL. 17m: Good path to NCS, no other stations heard.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz: Nothing heard. 1610 UTC, 18088 kHz: Heard K3CKT and CN8YR, both equally weak, both calling CQ SSN, but not hearing each other at all. Med was in QSO with F5LAW, but I couldn't hear Yann at all. I tried calling both K3CKT and CN8YR, but neither could hear me, even with QRO. Surely conditions MUST get better soon?

20 m: 1500 - 1535 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:

20 m: 1500 - 1544 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De F5LAW: Unusually poor paths intra USA on 20m, crazy conditions.
- De AA7FV: Yann was the only station I could copy well. Exceptionally poor conditions today, but Yann was a good signal in AZ on 20m, doing a great NCS job with all the QSPs.
- De KA5TJS: AA7FV: Very weak this morning, very unusual. K3CKT: Good copy all the way thru. F5LAW Weak but band was quiet. 95% copy.
- De G4CPA: Nothing hrd in Yorkshire, except an EA stn calling for FISTS contacts on 14.055 and nearby contest stns. Condx were bad to say the least, dead on 21 & 18 MHz also!

- De F5LAW: W1SFR and I shifted to 18088 kHz at 1545Z, good signals but awful QSB. 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz: Nothing heard, tried 1 CQ SSN. NIL later on 17m, just very puny signals at 1615Z, no copy. Tried several CQ SSN calls, NIL.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz: Nothing heard. 1606 UTC, 18088 kHz: K3CKT 339, then faded out and disappeared completely.

20 m: 1500 - 1601 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then at end of 20m net QRO to kW. 1500 UTC: QRM on 14055 kHz, so QSY to 14055.5 kHz... I heard K3CKT already in QSO with KA5TJS on 14055, so with Yann we QSY back to 14055 kHz. I did not hear G4CPA after our QSY.
- De F5LAW: 1500 UTC: 14055 kHz QRM 5. AA7FV took NCS on 14055.5 kHz till 1523Z, then back to 14055 kHz with K3CKT and KA5TJS. AA7FV had to QSP most transmissions.
- De KA5TJS: Well I did not hear anything when I came on freq. so made a call and heard Jim. We had a good QSO and then we made a couple of calls. I heard a signal above us and went up .50 and heard Darrel talking to someone. I went back down so Jim did not think he lost me to tell him about Darrel and then he joined us. No other stations heard here in ETX.

- De F5LAW: 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz: Nothing heard. 17m: Lost NCS at end, very deep QSB + QRM.
- De AA7FV: I did not try 15m today.

20 m: 1500 - 1542 UTC, 14055.2 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions not too bad on 20m. No QRO needed. (Just a little HF, to avoid QRM).
- De KA5TJS: Band was very QSB but good copy and both stations. Did not hang around for a QSY as it was breakfast time and upper band above 20 had been bad this morning.

Notes:
- De CN8YR: Closed bands here at Casablanca. I called on 15m from 1600 to 1604, Nil and on 17m from 1604 to 1611. Heard a weak VV on 17m I guessed it was Darrel, but who fainted so early.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 17m: CN8YR was calling CQ SSN, but faded out. I _think_ he heard me call, but I'm not sure. F5LAW, fading out after a few minutes.
- De F5LAW: 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz: Nothing heard, local noise. 17m: No path to NCS, lost AA7FV in QSB at end.

20 m: 1500 - 1537 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Mixed conditions today. Contest QRM on 14055 kHz, so went to 14349 kHz. F5LAW and K3CKT faded out by 1520 UTC. Initially I was using 95 watts, but QRO to kW at end, when signals were disappearing.
- De KA5TJS: Very QSB again today, Got 90% of Yann and Steve. Darrel and Jim were Q5 copy through out. Band was quiet here. CW contest covered up lower portion of the band.
- De F5LAW: Thanks to AA7FV for all QSPs. Extremely deep QSB at end, lost all stations.

- De KA5TJS: I did not hear any other stations. Thunder storms again in the area!
- De AA7FV: I just listened using an indoor antenna (a tuned 2-ft whip) on my FT857D. I also listened at 1600 UTC on 18088 kHz, but nothing heard.
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1604 UTC 21055 kHz; 1605 - 1610 UTC 18088 kHz: No slightest signal on the 2 bands. We miss Darrel's Rhombic. Quick recovery dear Darrel, take care.

- De AA7FV: I think these were the worst conditions I've yet experienced on this Intercontinental net, although the long-standing pipeline between IL and AZ on 20m does seem still to be working. I could hear a weak signal at 119, but could not copy any characters. I'm guessing that my weak signal heard was Yann. 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz: Nothing heard. 1605 UTC, 18088 kHz: I just caught some snatches of "CQ SSN" in the noise, but could not catch any call.

- De AA7FV: Started at 95 watts, but conditions were so bad QRO to kW. As well as weak signals between most stations, there was strong QSB on everyone. The bad conditions caused some accidental simultaneous transmissions within the net, and then a non-SSN station started calling CQ exactly on our frequency. Good to hear everyone, but all in all, very poor conditions today.

- De AA7FV: From 1500 to 1540 UTC I tried listening on 14055 and 14349 kHz, alternating between the web SDR stations at: Twente, Holland, DJ3LE, Germany, KFS, California, NA5B, Washington DC. No SSN stations heard at any SDR. Twente was suffering from high (S7) lightning static, and contest stations were active on the American receivers, but I heard no hint of any SSN station. 17m: Med had QSOs with DL3SXW and F6FLF (whom I couldn't hear) and was calling CQ SSN. High lightning static on the Twente receiver, but Med was coming in above the QRN. Great to hear such a strong and clear signal from Med, until he faded into the QRN at 1620 UTC.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De F5LAW: Extremely weak signals from NCS, I didn't call.
- De N1EA: I was very happy to hear Jim K3CKT on the 1500Z session about 1520Z. At any rate, Jim sadly was very weak but I'm amazed I could even hear him because he is so close. But the station he worked on the SSN was even weaker and I didn't catch his call sign, nor when Jim came back as QSB had taken him out of my little receiver. I use an ITT/Mackay 3030 receiver.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Listened first on 14055 kHz, but so much QRM that I went straight to 14349, as predicted by Allen. I started with 95 watts, then QRO to kW halfway though 20m net. This was also my first QSO with my new Begali HST Mk2 key.
- De K9TJL: F5LAW, just a Tweet. Copied a Letter now and then with heavy/deep QSB. Nice to hear Jim, K3CKT working his station piercing thru the deep QSB.
- De G4CPA: Condx very poor once again + contest rubbish everywhere. I tried QNI but no one heard me. I listen every week awaiting condx to improve HI!

- De N1EA: I heard Med - CN8YR at 1608Z but only by cheating and listening by the SDR at the University of Twente, Netherlands. Sadly conditions must be terrible, you were 339 there where usually you'd be 579 to 599 plus depending on conditions.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: K3CKT, QSB and disappearing. There was another, very weak station calling us, at RST 219, but I couldn't copy the call. Today probably had the worst SSN conditions I've experienced, although the AZ-IL pipeline is still there.
- De K9TJL: Heavy QRM from County Hunters Net (CHN). Strong sigs.

- De AA7FV: 1530 UTC 18088 kHz: K9TJL calling CQ SSN, but I couldn't stay to reply. 1600-1615 UTC 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 1600 to 1620 UTC, 18088 kHz, nothing heard. I put out some CQ SSN calls, but no replies.
- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: Heard CN8YR calling, 219. In the noise/NIL most of time, I didn't call. 17m: CN8YR calling. Rough copy, brief peaks at 539 at 1607Z, I called but was unheard. Down into noise again later.

20 m: 1500 - 1555 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: SKCC QRM exactly on frequency, especially at the end of the 20m net.
- De K9TJL: Post Net Jim and I had short chat. Many Stns rude and no clue how to operate a station. No QSK or maybe no Receivers. Makes it rather difficult and Jim and i Ole school. We both cranked up the speed with double words. We did get our Two cents in regardless. Miss BEN.
- De F5LAW: Heard some EU and US stations on QRG, mostly contesters. No SSN stations heard.
- De KA5TJS: I did not make it again. Rain and thunder storms here in ETX. Then the power went out again.

- De AA7FV: 1600 - 1610 UTC 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 1610 UTC 18088 kHz: Our AZ-IL pipeline is holding up, but no other stations heard.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Signals were relatively weak this morning, with deep QSB, but I was receiving both Jim and TJ nearly 100%. The real problem for me was contest QRM that came up on the frequency after we had been been in QSO for 15 minutes. No signals from outside the USA heard on either band today.
- De K9TJL: I will say "It is what it is". It could be worse as NO/MUF.
- De F5LAW: Very faint signals from unidentified SSN stations till 1514Z, then Jim popped out of the noise, 549 for a while, down into noise again afterwards. I didn't call.

- De F5LAW: NIL on QRG until Geoff started calling CQ SSN at 1506Z, smashing signals, incredible... We had a very nice chat. No other stations heard. At 1530Z, just before QSY, deep QSB. NIL on 15/17m. 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: CN8YR? 119, no copy. 1602 - 1615 UTC, 18088 kHz: CN8YR 319, I called but couldn't QNI, very poor path.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: NIL until G4CPA showed up at 1510Z. Smashing signals from Yorkshire. We had a very nice chat, some deep QSB at 1530Z. Then M0VRW called me, very nice QSO as well. No other stations heard.
- De AA7FV: Contest QRM on and around 14055. Tried a call on 140349 kHz, no replies. Then tried a call on 14055.5 kHz, still no replies. Gave up at 1530 UTC, after a QSO with NO8C, who was in SKCC contest. Extremely poor conditions today. This may be the first time I've not heard ANY SSN stations on 20m. Checked RBN: Looks like Jim may have given up on 20m and gone to 30m at 1524Z.

- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: 119 signals, probably CN8YR calling. 1602 - 1615 UTC, 18088 kHz: Faint signals from CN8YR, QSB to NIL, path not good enough to QNI.

I put out several CQ SSN calls, and did have QSOs with N4NSG and KD3DK, but neither station was SSN. 1600-1610 UTC, listened on 21055 kHz, but nothing heard. 17m: Put out CQ SSN call and was answered by TJ. The AZ-IL pipeline is still there, but I think this is the weakest signal I've heard from TJ. I checked the RBN for any K3CKT reports this morning: So again, it looks as if Jim may have given up on 20m and moved to 30m at 1514z... I think this is a new low in conditions.

I tried listening on 10121.5 kHz, in case Jim QSYd there, but nothing heard. 1600-1610 UTC, listened on 21055 kHz. Nothing heard. 1605 - 1610 UTC listened on 18088 kHz. Nothing heard. 1610 - 1617 UTC put out CQ SSN on 18088 kHz. No replies. The worst SSN conditions yet. Total failure on all bands!
- De K9TJL: 21055 and 18088 kHz: Nil. All three bands were not complete dead, I was receiving returns on all bands Via RBN. Most of the short hop nature and some @ 25DB. No area that had stations trying to check in.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: No other stations heard on 20m. 1600 - 1610 UTC, nothing heard on 21055 kHz. 1610 UTC, put out a CQ SSN on 18088 kHz. Was answered by a weak signal, too weak to copy. ???? 119. Apart from the weak response on 17m, no SSN stations heard on 15m or 17m today.
- De K7FD: SWL report: AA7FV 339, K6III esp level, very weak. No others heard. IC-R8600, 20 m dipole at 60'.
- De F5LAW: 20m: Very faint cootie signals in background, no copy at all. 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: Put out a few CQ SSN. NIL, band dead. 1602 - 1615 UTC, 18088 kHz: Put out a few CQ SSN. Very weak signals in background, no copy at all.

No net:
- De AA7FV:
Nothing heard on 14 MHz. At 1500 UTC, I checked 14055 kHz. A contest was in progress on and around the frequency, although all signals were very weak. QSY to 14349 kHz. 1505-1520 UTC 14349 kHz Put out a few CQ SSN calls, but nothing heard. I received hardly any 20m WSPR reports overnight, which is extremely unusual for recent months. I even suspected my antenna may have fallen down, but it hadn't. Extraordinarily poor conditions last night and this morning.
1600 to 1615 UTC, 21055 kHz and 18088 kHz. No signals, SSN or otherwise, heard on either band this morning. It can't get any worse than this.
I was curious as to why conditions today were quite so bad: G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Levels Observed.; Strong G3 geomagnetic storm.; For reference: What is a Geomagnetic Storm?. I guess that was the problem with today's SSN Intercontinental Net. "A big surprise for everyone which goes to show how unpredictable space weather is."
- De F5LAW: 1500 - 1515 UTC, 14055 kHz: Very faint signals in background, a letter now and then, no call signs copied. 1600 - 1615 UTC, 21055 and 18088 kHz: Put out a few CQ SSN. NIL, both bands dead.
- De G4CPA: No sigs hrd on all SSN QRG's. Condx atrocious!
- De KA5TJS: Nil, Very poor conditions in general.
- De CN8YR: Unavailable.

20 m: 1500 - 1543 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Started with 95 watts, then QRO to kW. I put out some CQ SSN calls, but was called by several non-SSN stations. So far as I know, only Yann, Craig and Carl were using Sideswipers. Conditions were fairly good, but few real SSN stations. The many stations made things a bit hectic this morning. 1600 - 1610 UTC: I listened on 15m and 17m, but nothing heard until: 1613 UTC 18088 kHz, I briefly heard (I think) F5LAW calling CQ SSN, RST 229, before disappearing into the noise. I didn't try replying.
- De F5LAW: Conditions better than expected on 20m, at least good path to AZ, nice surprise. 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: Put out a few CQ SSN. NIL, band dead. 1602 - 1615 UTC, 18088 kHz: QRG QRL with a station from East coast of USA, FB signals, 1607Z put out a few CQ SSN. NIL.
- De G4CPA: I can only hr AA7FV Darrel wkg RG2A. Other CW too wk to copy 14.055.

- De AA7FV: 1600 - 1605 UTC 21055 kHz. Nothing heard. 17m: 95 watts at first, then QRO to kW. CN8YR was in QSO with K2MGR, and was then called by WA9VFD. Med did not hear me. At one point, Med and Jim were doubling, both calling CQ SSN. While in QSO with Jim, I put out a CQ SSN call. I was answered by a station at RST 119, but I could not copy any call.
\- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: NIL heard, band dead. 1602 - 1615 UTC, 18088 kHz: Rare EU/US stations heard on band. NIL on QRG, 1608Z put out a few CQ SSN, NIL.

20 m: 1500 - 1531 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: On both bands, started at 95 watts, then QRO to kW. This was a truly Intercontinental net today, with 3 continents represented. Just a very few more dB of intercontinental s/n would make a huge difference.
- De F5LAW: AA7FV was 459 in the clear at first, then solid 589 with QRO. K9TJL was stronger than usual. Briefly heard OE8GBK, no short skip.

- De W1SFR: I had pretty good copy on Med until QSB totally wiped him out. Darrel was coming in strong on 18088 and TJ's signal was also quite good with minimal QSB and QRN. At first I didn't hear Med cuz I had my filter screwed down to 150khz but I saw his signal right next to Darrel's and opened up my filter so I could hear him.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC. Nothing heard on 21055 kHz. 17m: Med was fading in and out. I copied my report from Med, thanks, but Med didn't copy my RST to him of 339.
- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: NIL. 17m: Due to very poor conditions, several stations were transmitting at the same time without hearing each other, rough copy. Briefly called K3CKT and W1SFR but was unheard. No other stations heard.

17 m: 1605 - 1620 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De F5LAW: 20m: Awful conditions, band noisy, digital mode QRM. Heard a few CQ SSN from 4U1ITU operated by Darrel - AA7FV, RST 219. I tried several CQ SSN myself but no takers. 15m: NIL heard, band dead. 17m: I heard 2 different stations at 119, no copy. Briefly heard 4U1ITU calling G4CPA.
- De 4U1ITU: Reports from 4U1ITU in Geneva, operated by aa7fv. 4U1ITU is the station of the ITU. 20m: Nothing heard. I did try a couple of "CQ SSN" calls, but no replies heard. 15m: Nothing heard. 17m: Heard G4CPA calling CQ SSN. We had a good QSO - the best I've had with Geoff. No other stations heard.
- De G4CPA: Hrd nothing on 14.055 and 21.055 kHz, Then at 16.10 UTC on 18.088 kHz I called CQ SSN. Big surprise Darrel AA7FV using 4U1ITU called me, his sig came up to 5 7 9 at the end ,we had a good QSO in deep QSB.
- De CN8YR: Again no SSN stns heard on 15m / 17m today.

No net:
- De K9TJL: 14055Khz: Am getting great RBN returns from the mid west to the west coast. Some 20db. So the band is open just to the work areas on Intercon. That's why i never have problem working AA7FV. 18088KHZ: CN8YR 2-2-9.
- De F5LAW: 1500 - 1515 UTC, 14055 kHz: Extremely poor conditions, deep QSB. K3CKT: 239. I heard Jim calling CQ SSN. I replied twice but I assume he didn't hear me. 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: NIL heard. 1602 - 1615 UTC, 18088 kHz: Heard very weak signals but no copy at all.
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1604 UTC 21055 kHz: No SSN. A few minutes before the net: RU2K Leri 599; 9X0T 599 (Pileup). 1605 - 1614 UTC 18088 kHz: No SSN. After the net: IN3HJA Winfred 599; 9X0T 599 (Pileup).

20 m: 1500 - 1529 UTC, 14055.2 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: I had put out a call on 14055.2 to avoid QRM on 14055.0. This was the best Intercontinental net we've had for many months.
- De K9TJL: The mighty clouds parted, hark RF sig were allowed to departed. 14055 were allowed to disperse. Hark Darrel, Yann were heard. 20 meters did have a decent MUF. (the boys sez "WERE BACK".)
- De F5LAW: I was monitoring QRG +/- due to heavy QRM. Heard Darrel with TJ on 14055.2 kHz at 1506Z.

- De K9TJL: Nil on SSN. Lite sigs hrd in the white noise, Morse? YES. Well things are starting to perk on this band, hold the report QRX.
- De AA7FV: Jim called in at the start, but I don't think anyone else heard him? After the net had closed, I had a good QSO with Jim, K3CKT. He reported that he hadn't been hearing the other SSN stations. He's hoping to have a better antenna by next week.

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC. Nothing heard on 21055 kHz. 17m: At first, no SSN stations heard, but I had a QSO with G0KPE. Then (about 1620) I heard Med and Yann in QSO, both weak. Not great conditions. As is often the case, just a few extra dB of s/n would make a huge difference. At least we can claim it was truly an intercontinental net today, although conditions were marginal.

- De F5LAW: 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: NIL. 17m: Good path to AZ. Tried a CQ SSN, heard a weak signal, that was CN8YR replying but no copy, sorry.
- De CN8YR: Report from Tafraout, South Morocco. Portable conditions 50W / 2x7m doublet. 1600 - 1604 UTC 21055 kHz: Nil. 17m: Nil till 16:29 when i heard Yann clg CQ, very weak sigs. I came back to his call, but didn't copy him. Gave up at 1636 when DL2RWM began calling in QRG.

20 m: 1500 - 1537 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first. QRO to kW near the end. W1SFR 439 on rhombic, but 569 on the active vertical. I guess Steve is in a null of the rhombic pattern. I switched to QRO after Steve had joined the net. 1600 UTC. Nothing heard on 21055 kHz. 18088 kHz. Two weak stations heard, both too weak to copy. The first station was RST 119, but I could barely detect it and no characters were copied. A second station came up, 20 Hz different in frequency, also at RST 119. I did just copy a "CQ SSN" on one QSB peak, but nothing else. I'm guessing one of the stations may have been CN8YR, but no calls were copied. By 16:20 UTC, both weak stations had faded below the noise level, and I gave up.
- De F5LAW: AA7FV was 58/99 with 95W, 10dB over S9 with amp at end, no echo, superb signal! UFB maintenance on Rhombic. 1600 - 1602 UTC, 21055 kHz: NIL heard, band dead. 1602 - 1615 UTC, 18088 kHz: No SSN stations heard.

20 m: 1500 - 1541 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, QRO to kW near end of 20m net. Another very weak signal (RST 119) sometimes heard between overs. Nil copy.
- De KA5TJS: Darrel was very good today and I could hear Yann. The QRN was very low here. Steve was low but got about 90% but could not hear TJ at all.
- De F5LAW: AA7FV was 569 at first with 95W, up to 599 with QRO. Bad QSB on all other stations.

20 m: 1500 - 1533 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then QRO to kW. It must have been Geoff - G4CPA I was hearing, at RST 119. Another very few dB would have made you R5! Sorry I couldn't copy this time.
- De G4CPA: I was continuously calling on 14.055 kHz but could only hear Darrel RST 549, no other sigs audible.

20 m: 1500 - 1539 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts (no amp in use today). Some weak QRM in the background from contest stations, but good copy on everyone.
- De KA5TJS: I was working the SKCC WES and tuned across the freq. having forgotten about the net. Darrel was booming in and I got all of Yann's first comments but he dropped down on his second into the noise. Great to hear him for a while anyway!

Thanks Yann and TJ for a great QSO, and all the best for the Christmas holiday. See you on the net after Christmas. I didn't try the second session this morning...
- De F5LAW: 20m: Solid copy on NCS all the way, no path to IL. 15/17m: NIL, bands dead. A very Merry Xmas to all SSN stations.

20 m: 1500 - 1536 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: I went QRO to call Geoff (QSB down to 229). If only the ionosphere would give us a very few more dB! Anyway, hearing you made a great end to the year. All the best for the New Year, and let's hope the ionosphere gets more cooperative in 2019. Did not try the second session.
- De K9TJL: WA9VFD Kevin was calling on top of yann/Darrel. Happy New Year to all....
- De F5LAW: 20m poor, 15/17m dead. Last Intercontinental sessions for 2018. Thanks and congratulations to all, NCSs and QNIs, great job despite non-cooperative propagation in 2018, better luck next year... To all SSN stations, a very Happy and Healthy Year 2019 to you and yours.
- De G4CPA: Nil hrd on other SSN QRG's. Hpe condx improve next year, 73 / vy HNY to all.
