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.

Sunday, January 6, 2019.
20 m: 1500 - 1533 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first but then QRO to kW for most of net. Poor conditions, but we've had worse. Given the conditions, a fairly successful, truly intercontinental net. The IL-AZ pipeline was blocked at first, but we cleared it!
- De K9TJL: I did hear Geoff @ 1-1-9 but failure to let NCS aware of fact. Sorry Geoff.
- De F5LAW: First Intercontinental net of the year. To all SSN stations, a very Happy and Healthy Year 2019 to you and yours.
- De G4CPA: No one else hrd other bands dead hr, I was calling like mad but to no avail hi! HNY TO ALL SSN!

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 21055 kHz: Heard a station calling CQ at RST 119, but don't know if it was SSN and didn't get any call. 17m: Again, we seemed to clear an initially blocked AZ-IL pipeline.

20 m: 1500 - 1536 UTC, 14055.2 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Allen, sorry I missed you and Jim. I put out a SSN call on 14055.2 kHz, because there was QRM on 14055.0 - but the QRM wasn't either Jim or you. I had a great chat with Yann on 14055.2. No other SSN stations heard. It's raining here, so ground reflections probably helped the signal from the rhombic today more than usual. The soil conductivity here is normally very poor.
- De F5LAW: I heard just weak signals on 55, then AA7FV calling on 55.2 kHz.
- De K9TJL: W9EBE (Chip) reported a QSO of over an hour with K3CKT on 30 Meters. Jim reported he was doing fine, same issues with Antenna. I may tune to 30 more and I just might catch Jim. We had first Snow yesterday abt 5 Inches.
- De KA5TJS: Well managed to hear Jim K3CKT fairly well on 14.055 today.

Notes:
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1603 UTC 21055 kHz: Nil. 1603 - 1610 UTC 18088 kHz: Band empty, noise.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, nothing heard on 21055 kHz. 18088 kHz: 1610 UTC Heard a station calling CQ SSN, at RST 119, but no call copied. May have been Med? I see from RBN that Med was calling and being heard in the USA. 1615 UTC, I heard K3CKT calling CQ SSN. I called Jim, but he faded out completely and I don't think he heard me. There were no RBN reports of Jim this morning. So at least from Arizona, 17/15 meters were not useful this morning.

20 m: 1500 - 1543 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Started at 95 watts, but QRM came up so QRO to kW on 20m. W1SFR was called by F3OA, who didn't know about SSN: [F3OA 449]. In spite of poor conditions, it was a busy net. Just a very few more dB better propagation would help such a lot!
- De G4CPA: SRI couldn't hear any other stns on other SSN QRGs.

Notes:

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC I took a listen on both 21055 and 18088 kHz, but nothing heard on either band, until: 1630 UTC 18088 kHz, K9TJL 599.
- De F5LAW: I had to go QRT, didn't try 15/17m.

20 m: 1500 - 1535 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then partway through the net QRO to kW. G4CPA 349. Peaked to 449, then faded down to 239. I _thought_ I heard W1SFR calling into the net too (RST 459), but with so much QRM and QRM I think I was mistaken. No replies heard from Steve. There was a lot of QRM on or very close to the frequency this week, added to the usual QSB and QRN. After QNF I was called by AK4NY, but I don't believe he was using a sideswiper.
- De F5LAW: Heavy QRM from 9H1 and IT9 stations calling CQ on QRG. AA7FV was S6 at first, S8 with QRO. I won't try 15/17m, QRT.
- De K9TJL: AA7FV/K9TJL Vpn still works.

Notes:
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1609 UTC 21055 kHz: Nothing heard. 17m: QSO N6WT Kent / CA. Some other stations calling but to weak to copy their call.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC listened on 21055 kHz. Nothing heard. 1605 UTC 18088 kHz: CN8YR Med was calling CQ SSN. I only caught occasional snatches of his call, but he was called by and worked a couple of US stations. By 1612 UTC Med had disappeared completely. I tried calling, but
not surprisingly was not heard. 1610 UTC: I just caught a brief call from K3CKT 50 Hz higher in frequency than Med. By 1615 UTC Jim had disappeared completely. I guess 15m and 17m were not workable today.
- De N1EA: Nothing heard here on 18088 kHz. ITT/MACKAY Marine 3031A with E probe.

20 m: 1500 - 1534 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Started with 95 watts, then QRO to kW. I think I heard another weak station calling, but could not get any call and wasn't sure they were calling SSN. Maybe that was Allen. After the net I worked K2MD, but he was not SSN. I agree with Allen. Conditions this morning were the worst we've had on 20m for many months. When will conditions start getting better?
- De F5LAW: I heard a weak station (Allen - KA5TJS) calling but no copy. I can't stay for 2nd session, sorry.
- De KA5TJS: Well conditions sucked here this morning. I could hear Darrel 229 and Yann about the same. I called once but nothing. Very poor here today.
- De G4CPA: Absolutely ZILCH, sry!! Condx rubbish! Cu next time???.

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 17m: CN8YR with QSB... But with many repeats we were at least able to swap reports.

20 m: 1500 - 1555 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- NB: The net split up in 2 groups: Due to QRM, F5LAW and K9TJL shifted to 14349 kHz with NCS; G4CPA and EA7HAA were able to QSO on 14055 kHz.
- De AA7FV: QRM on 14055 kHz, so QSY to 14349 kHz.
- De F5LAW: QRM 5 on 14055 kHz, shifted to 14349 kHz. Unavailable for second session, sorry.
- De G4CPA: At 1545 UTC I had my first QSO wid Jose ,EA7HAA, on 14.055 kHz. I cud hr weak CW on 14 .349. Nothing on other SSN QRG's.
- De EA7HAA: Long time without being on the Net. Today, just one QSO. No more SSN Stations were heard by me. I'll try to be more active. BCNU.
- De KA5TJS: Well, I tried! Heard a little on 14.349 but not good enough for a QSO. Better luck next week.

Sunday, February 17, 2019.
20 m: 1500 - 1539 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Contest QRM on 14055. Mostly 95 watts, QRO to kW at end of 20m session. I could hear both Jose and Fried there every time - a solid, steady RST 119 (!), but just too weak to copy anything. Conditions very poor today. 20m was the worst we've had for many weeks.
- De F5LAW: Very poor on 20m again but great to have Jose and Fried with us. QRT, can't try 2nd session, sorry.
- De EA7HAA: AA7FV, Darrel, I'm sorry. Too weak signals, however I knew you were there, but I couldn't copy you.
- De G4CPA: Darrel, I heard you wkg Yann on 20 m you were 339, Yann barely audible SRI, I tried lots of QNI's but nil.

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 21055 kHz nothing heard. 17m: CN8YR, we had a good chat. No other SSN stations heard. This was the best signal I've heard from Med for a long time. Med was almost as strong on my 4-foot active vertical antenna as on the rhombic; CN8 is only in a sidelobe of the rhombic. For me, conditions on both 20m and 17m (at least to CN8) were good today.

20 m: 1500 - 1542 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: No other SSN stations heard, although had a great chat with TJ. Conditions were the worst I've yet experienced on the 20m Intercontinental net. Fortunately the AZ-IL pipeline is still holding up well.
- De G4CPA: No other stns hrd.
- De EA7HAA: No more stations were heard. Switching between two vertical antennas: 8,2 m (original) and the new vertical for low bands made with two wires running up in parallel: abt 21 m and 11 m (finally, I set up another wire to my vertical, the second wire is a bit longer than a quarter wave on 40 m and now works FB on 30, 40 and 80 m bands). TNX Darrel for your advices.
- De F5LAW: Strange conditions on 20m, great QSO with Jose. S6 with big vertical, S8 with shorter version. Solid copy all the way in spite of QSB. Unavailable for 2nd session.
- De KA5TJS: 20 was totally dead here this morning. Heard something way down in the noise!

- De F5LAW: Very poor conditions again, no short skip. Very stormy WX, strong winds at 116 kph here. Unavailable for 2nd session.
- De EA7HAA: Today, I just was able to copy one station on 14349 kHz.

I think I copied a "SSN" at one point, but no call copied - not even a "CQ" copied. Assuming I was hearing CN8YR, then he was RST 119 on peaks(!). I didn't call.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1500 UTC, no SSN heard. Called CQ. No SSN replies but 1510-1520 UTC QSO KA4UPI. Until 1530 UTC I put out some more CQ SSN calls, but no responses. 1600 - 1615 UTC. Listened on 15m and 17m. Nothing heard. On 17m the ONLY signal on the band was one weak S. American station, briefly rising above the noise. Very poor conditions indeed. No SSN stations.
- De OE8GBK: I heard no signals on 14055/ 15.00 UTC. Calling SSN but no answer.
- De G4CPA: Got to agree worst condx ever... Nothing hrd on SSN QRG's.
- De F5LAW: No SSN stations heard. EU QSO on QRG but nothing heard before and afterwards. I didn't call. Conditions seem pretty good today, heard several W and VE stations on the band. Unavailable for 2nd session.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Today's conditions were the best propagation, both on 20m and 17m, that we've had for a long time. The Ap and Kp indices has been very low indeed for the last couple of days, so the promised geomagnetic storm from the recent solar CME evidently hasn't yet arrived.

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 21055 kHz nothing heard. Band sounded dead. 17m: Best QSO with Med for a long time. Very deep QSB, but switching back and forth between rhombic and active vertical helped a lot on receive. Peaks on the rhombic corresponded to nulls on the vertical, and vice versa. The rhombic points to EU and has a narrow beam, so Med is in a sidelobe, which is predominantly horizontally polarized in Med's direction. The vertical is of course vertically polarized, so the QSB must have been mainly because of rotation of the linear polarization direction. Med was about equally strong on peaks in the 4-ft vertical and the rhombic - if anything, the vertical was stronger - confirming that the rhombic has no gain in his direction. I really must put up a better antenna for North Africa.

20 m: 1500 - 1520 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts, rhombic antenna, QRO to kW later. Very pleased to hear Yann this morning. The Ap geomagnetic index had been a little high in the last 3 days (6,10,6,4) and the Kp indices for this morning (3,4,3,1,2) had been their highest since 17th March. The 10.7 cm solar flux was only 69. I was surprised that conditions were as good as they were.
- De F5LAW: 20m poor but better than anticipated, NCS s6 and S8 later with QRO. Unavailable for 2nd session.
- De K9TJL: Web SDR report for F5LAW. K3FEF Sdr on Northeastern coast of USA. Yann sig from 549 / 559 with QSB.
- De W1SFR: I was going to check in and heard Yann at Nil/329 but decided against it. Called SSN a couple of times with no response. Nil on you Darrel so I packed it in.
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1608 UTC 15m / 17m. Called on 21055 kHz and 18088 kHz but Nil.
- De AA7FV: 1600 - 1610 UTC. I did listen on 21055 and 18088 kHz, and put out a call on 18088 kHz, but nothing heard. No signals heard on the band. Not surprising, given the conditions.
- De K9TJL: 17m: AA7FV and CN8YR Both received on the East coast SDR Calling CQ SSN. Sigs at 439. (SIMO) At the same time.

20 m: 1500 - 1525 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 30 seconds silence in memory of Jim, K3CKT. RIP Jim.
Very poor condx this morning. Very few signals audible on the band, and high QRN from lightning near Tucson. The Ap index has been relatively high for the 10 days or so.
- De F5LAW: Very moving 20m session in spite of awful conditions. Thanks to NCS for special QTC + 30 second SP in honor of Jim - K3CKT. So nice to send "73 to Jim - K3CKT"... Unavailable for 2nd session.
- De KF6C: I heard Darrel AA7FV and TJ K9TJL. Darrel was a little further above the noise than TJ but neither was strong enough for me to attempt to join in.
- De N1EA: I feel like I was listening to a dream in my head! At 1502Z I heard AA7FV Darrell and I believe a G4 station who was the net control station. They both got very weak as if having difficulty hearing each other. Within a transmission from each station they were gone! I see from the reports that I must have been wrong about the G4 station and that it was K9TJL instead. I didn't hear the tribute - or maybe I did - maybe that's why the two stations suddenly went off the air. I said my morning prayers, and I remembered our dear friend Jim, K3CKT...

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, I listened on 21055 kHz, but nothing heard. Band seemed dead. 17m: Nothing heard at first, but after my own CQ SSN on 18088:: F5LAW, CN8YR. Then contest QRM came up - a North American station calling CQ on exactly our QRG. Yann and Med both faded down into the noise. Very poor conditions, but at least we did make contact between 3 continents today. 73 to Med and Yann, and to Kees.
- De F5LAW: NIL on 15m. 17m much better than anticipated, too bad no path to Med here.

20 m: 1500 - 1526 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 20m: 95 watts until the last round on the net, then QRO to kW. Conditions were the best they've been for some months, especially at the beginning. 1600 UTC 21055 kHz nothing heard. 1607-1615 UTC 18088 kHz: CN8YR calling CQ SSN, RST219. Just caught occasional "SSN" and pieces of Med's call. RST 219 on peaks(!) I did call Med, but didn't expect Med to hear me. As well as Med's marginal signal, I did sometimes hear a very weak signal about 20 Hz below Med's frequency. I couldn't even confirm that the signal was sending CW, so perhaps that makes it RST 019. It sounds as if that was probably F5LAW's signal. Poor conditions on 15 and 17m. Very few other signals heard on the bands.
- De F5LAW: 20m: Very good signal from NCS with 95W at beginning, deteriorating at end, 569 at best with kW. 15m: NIL, band dead. 17m: heard Med - CN8YR (RST 539/QSB) and Darrel- AA7FV (RST 319), I called them both once but was unheard.

20 m: 1500 - 1540 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Great chat with TJ today. No other SSN stations heard. Very few signals heard even on 20m, in spite of the WES contest. Checking WSPR, almost no reports at all today from outside the USA. I note the planetary geomagnetic Ap index was 22 yesterday, the highest it's been since the end of February. Whenever the Ap index has been above 10, conditions on 20m have always been fairly hopeless for me.
1600-1625 UTC: Nothing heard on 21055 kHz. Nothing heard on 18088 kHz. I put out some calls on 18088 kHz, but no replies.
- De K9TJL: AA7FV, We had long QSO today on SSN freq. I copied Darrel QRK 5 both on QRO and less than 100 Watts. Got some practice with all three keys, so not all in vain. I did hear AA7FV on 18088, but i did not respond, as i knew he would of heard me.
- De N1EA: Darrell, fabulous keying.
- De F5LAW: 20m: No SSN stations heard. NIL on 15m. QRM 5 from a pileup on 18088 kHz, briefly heard CN8YR RST 229 through QRM, I didn't call.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: AA7FV unavailable from AZ, I took NCS on 20m. 1500 - 1515 UTC, 14349 kHz: QRM 5 from contest on 14055 kHz, shifted to 14349 kHz. CQ SSN but nothing heard. Thanks to HB9/AA7FV for SWL report. 1600 - 1603 UTC, 21055 kHz: CN8YR, RST 339. QRM from contest, I called but was unheard.
- De HB9/AA7FV: SWL report from aa7fv, from inside a hotel room in the middle of Geneva. Small portable receiver, with the antenna just 2 metres of wire thrown across the room. Very strong contest QRM on and around 14055 kHz (and most of the band). 1500 - 1515 UTC, 14349 kHz. F5LAW 449 down to 229 at the end. Yann was calling CQ SSN. I didn't hear any other SSN stations. Being inside a hotel and in the middle of a city, I'm sure my local noise level must have been very high. Although I was only copying Yann weakly, and no other SSN stations at all, the QRM on 14055 was 59++9 from all over Europe.

Looking at my WSPR reports, I was getting no transatlantic reports on 20m, although many transatlantic reports on 30m. Only now (1530 UTC) have a few EU reports on 20m started coming in.
1600 UTC, 21055 kHz. Some very weak FD stations, but no sign of CN8YR or any SSN stations.
1605-1615 UTC, 18088 kHz. Nothing. No signals heard, SSN or otherwise. Not even any QRM.
This has not been a good net day.

1600 - 1605 UTC, 21055 kHz. Nil. Band seemed fairly dead. 1610 UTC 18088 kHz: K9TJL. At last, a SSN station this weekend! Thanks to the AZ-IL pipeline.

- De CN8YR: 20m: Heard Darrel - AA7FV calling CQ w/o success; I copied your QSO with WW2IND but didn't heard him. You noticed bad chirp and a drift hard to follow. N4ARI was calling you. (FYI: websdr copy).

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055.25 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: QRM on 14055, so moved 250 Hz higher in frequency to call CQ SSN. Conditions seemed fairly poor, even within the USA. Immediately after the net I checked my WSPR tx reports on 20m. Only one report from outside the USA, and that was a very weak report from Japan. Nothing from Europe. This is unusually poor at this time of day.
1600-1605 UTC, 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 1605-1610 18088 kHz, Nothing heard at aa7fv. No hint of any signal at all. On websdr at Twente, heard CN8YR at 569, with deep QSB.
Although the solar flux is low (67), the geomagnetic field isn't being particularly badly behaved at the moment, so I'm not sure why conditions are quite so bad.
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1604 UTC 15m; 1605 - 1609 UTC 17m: Nil on both bands. 17m: Heard K9TJL calling Darrel (websdr).

1600 UTC, 21055 kHz. Nothing heard.
1605 - 1612 UTC. 18088 kHz. Nothing heard at aa7fv. 1605 - 1612 UTC, 18088 kHz on the Twente webSDR. Still nothing heard.
A very disappointing day for SSN.
I checked my 20-m WSPR reports immediately before and immediately after trying SSN, and I was getting reports from around North America and from TF and LX, so the band wasn't completely dead.

I heard G4CPA calling SSN, about RST 339. Geoff worked I5EFO, but faded into the noise. I tried calling G4CPA back, but we never made the QSO. Strange conditions. All USA signals (except for TJ) were very weak, and about the same strength as EU signals on the band. 1600-1612 UTC: Listened on 21055 and 18088 kHz, but nothing heard.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: After I had closed the net, I was called by K1ATS and W4ATL, but I couldn't stay to QSO. 20 meters was in terrible shape today. Very few signals audible on the band. I have been getting no WSPR reports from outside the USA. Yesterday's daily planetary geomagnetic Ap index was 37, possibly the highest I've seen this year. Today's 3-hourly Kp indices were all higher than yesterday's. Not a good sign for propagation.
From 1600 UTC to 1612 UTC, listened on both 21055 and 18088 kHz. Nothing heard. No CW signals at all heard on either band. Given the state of the bands and the high geomagnetic indices, probably not surprising.

- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1605 UTC 21055 kHz: Nil. First real session on 17m since many months.
- De F5LAW: Nothing heard on 15m. Conditions were surprisingly good on 17m, excellent signals from CN8YR (on G5RV) and AA7FV (on beam pointing to USA). Encouraging!
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC nothing heard on 21055 kHz. This is the first time I've worked Med on 17m for many months! I see that the 3-hourly geomagnetic planetary Kp indices for today, from 0h to 18h UTC were 0.7, 0, 0, 0, 0, and 0. These are the lowest I can remember seeing for many months. A nice quiet magnetic field!

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, later QRO to kW. Welcome to Arnie - NA5ET in Texas. G4CPA: Great to hear you at last Geoff. By the end of the net, becoming the best signal I've heard from you.
- De F5LAW: Nice to welcome Arnie - NA5ET on 20m. Very strong signal from NCS, 579 with 95W, up to 599 +10dB with kW, UFB! Heard weak signal from Geoff - G4CPA at end of session, no path.
- De G4CPA: Also hrd Yann's sigs towards end of QSO but too weak to decipher, I managed to QSO wid Darrel RST 559 at end, nil copy on NA5ET. Darrel has the big ear and QRO, whilst I hve little ear es QRP 100 watts to lw i.e. G5IJ ant. NB: We put our clocks back 1 hr next weekend.

20 m: 1500 - 1522 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De F5LAW: Antenna maintenance at AA7FV, I took NCS. Good signal from VT, excellent signal from AZ, Darrel was using the remaining half of the rhombic antenna, UFB.
- De AA7FV: Antenna: half a rhombic. The other half is still in the trees. Yann took NCS today, and was a very nice steady signal in Arizona. The band sounded extremely quiet today, with very low background noise. I don't know if that's because of my antenna being half down. The geomagnetic Ap index was very high (up to storm levels, Ap=24) yesterday and the day before but is quietening down today. It's been my experience that whenever the Ap index is high, then the following day the path Arizona-to-Europe is usually poor. I didn't try 15/17m today - need to work on the antenna before wind comes up.

- De F5LAW: Very moving silent period in memory of Tom - G3HGE, thanks to both NCSs, 73 dear Tom.

- De KA5TJS: Fra did well this Sunday but state side was poor. Bob was a little better than Yan. Great to hear him on the SSN. With the time change I have a shot at making the net now.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1500 UTC. 14055 kHz full of contest QRM, so called CQ SSN on 14349 kHz. 95 watts at first, before QRO to kW. Conditions were very poor today. Even on WSPR I've been getting very few EU reports this morning.
- De KA5TJS: Could hardly hear Darrel call the net but by the end he was solid copy. Never did hear TJ and had a good copy on Yann due to very low QRN levels here.
- De F5LAW: Disastrous conditions on 20m but amazingly, the path to IL and TX was better than usual, very poor path to AZ.

- De K9TJL: No response to my call.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 21055 kHz. Nothing heard. 17m: Heard at least two very weak CW stations, 80 Hz apart. Both were too weak copy any CW characters, so I didn't try calling. 1617 UTC, I just copied "CN8YR de W1SFR" at RST 229. Steve sent 73 to Med.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, QRO to kW part way through net. After QNF, IK7FPU called, but I had to QRT. Thanks everyone, a great net. Conditions were fading out on most signals by the end of the net, but we've had much worse. At start of the net, I was hearing a fairly strong echo on my own signal, which suggests conditions were not too bad.
- De F5LAW: NCS was S7 with 95W, S9 with kW, QRK 5 all the way, UFB. No trace of echo with 95W, but with QRO a rather long but weak echo. No short skip.

- De AA7FV: We gave 30 seconds radio silence in memory of Francois, ON5AG, SK on Dec 24.
95 watts, then QRO to kW. It was cold in AZ, -4 C earlier before the net this morning. The shack here is separate from the main house, and no heating turned on. Keying fingers numb! Thanks everyone for a great 20m net, and for a great year of SSN. All the very best for the New Year.
- De F5LAW: NCS was QRK 5 all the way, S7 at first, up to S9 with QRO. Very touching message and SP in memory of our good friend François- ON5AG. Thanks to NCSs and all QNIs for great job, participation and summaries in 2019. BCNU all in 2020. A Happy and Healthy Year 2020 to you and yours friends.
- De N4OW: Best wishes to all SSN members for a Healthy and Happy 2020.

17 m: 1604 - 1625 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1603 UTC 21055 kHz: Nil. 17m: No SSN heard. Sorry for Al, didn't copy you. Wish you All a Healthy New Year.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 21055 kHz Nothing heard. 17m: CN8YR 119 Too weak to copy, although I just caught a "CN8" on one QSB peak, and an "8YR" on another peak, so I'm sure it was Med there. I heard Al called Med, but he was not heard. I didn't try calling. I heard K9SO working Med later, but by then I couldn't even detect Med's signal.
- De F5LAW: NIL on 15m. 17m: Only heard a weak signal, I didn't call. Probably Al - N4OW I heard calling on 17m, RST 119 but sounded like Al's great cootie fist. NIL from Med, MCI BCP VX for your 1st class NCS job again in 2019, BCNU in 2020. HNY fellows, take care.
