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.

20 m: 1500 - 1536 UTC, 14055.15 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1500 UTC 14055.150 kHz. (QRM on 14055). Ionospheric conditions to AZ were very good this morning, but with that came a lot of QRM. I believe at least one other SSN was calling, but I missed the call because of QRM. Apologies. Thanks everyone for the first Intercontinental SSN of the year, and I hope conditions stay good.
- De F5LAW: Super path to AZ but strange conditions, signals from S-IL weaker than usual and no short skip at all. First Intercontinental net of 2020, HNY to you and yours friends.
- De K9TJL: Yes strange cndx. End of net the bottom dropped out. FDZ. During net heard Eur. stations calling on 055. Assumed they were attempting comms with AA7FV.
- De DL2KHU: Darrel, the station that was calling you when you pass the key to K9TJL was IK7XJA.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055.250 kHz (QRM on 14055 kHz). Conditions were down compared to last week. In spite of occasional NCS confusion, a great net.
- De KA5TJS: I was their but no one heard me.
- De G4CPA: I could only hr Darrel AA7FV. I called like crazy ,,,,nil response. No others hrd, I checked all SSN QRGs. The contest didn't help.

- De F5LAW: 15m: NIL. 17m: Short QSO with Med but QSB got us. No other stations heard.
- De AA7FV: 0100 UTC 21055 kHz nothing heard. 17m: I tried calling Med, but not sure if he heard me. From a peak of 219, Med faded into the noise. Al called Med, but I don't think was heard. Med was also called by a non-SSN station, but I didn't get the call.

Sunday, January 19, 2020.
20 m: 1500 - 1528 UTC, 14055.1 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 20m: 14055.1 kHz. (14054.9 was busy.) Things were very busy, with some stations doubling and other QRM. Apologies to any stations that may have been calling the net that I didn't copy. Ionospheric conditions were very good today, but that made QRM all the stronger.
15/17m: 1600 UTC listened on 21055 kHz, but nothing heard. 1605 UTC 18088 kHz, nothing heard. Tried a CQ SSN, but nil. I could only hear one station anywhere on the band, who turned out to be in Arizona.
- De F5LAW: Strange conditions on 20m; NIL on 15/17m.
- De DL2KHU: At the beginning i copied Darrel AA7FV with 559 in the peak and tried to check in. Then the signals became vy week, mostly 229... I heard vy week signals from other stations but could not copy a callsign.
- De G4CPA: Condx vy bd hr, deep QSB making vy difficult copy. I only mngd to work AA7FV Darrel he was RST 339, 15.15 UTC lost my rprt in QSB, Sry no other stns hrd.
- De CN8YR: 1600 - 1603 UTC 21055 kHz; 1603 - 1610 UTC 18088 kHz: Nil.

20 m: 1500 - 1531 UTC, 14055.2 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055.2 kHz (Weak QRM on 14055). 95 watts at first, QRO to kW halfway through net.
- De F5LAW: NCS was S5 on peaks at first, S8 on peaks later with QRO. Noise level was S3 at 300 Hz. 15/17m bands both dead here.
- De G4CPA: Condx vy poor hr in North Yorkshire, Sri couldn't hear N4OW, K9TJL and F5LAW, I only managed to work Darrel AA7FV at 15.15 UTC. Nothing hrd on other SSN QRG's.
- De N4OW: Extremely poor conditions at my QTH for this session. (I checked to see if my antenna had fallen down). AA7FV (Low Power) 229 in my noise - QRO 559.
- De N1EA: N4OW was blasting in here. Also TJ very strong, AA7FV very strong, F5LAW was 449. One person (now I know it must have been N4OW) said conditions were poor but I've not seen them this good for quite a while. Receiver ITT/Mackay 3030 with indoor loop. Usually hears nothing, like it heard nothing on 18088 kHz at 1600Z today.
- De KA5TJS: I was there but did not hear a thing on 14.055! Conditions really bad here. I think I did hear Al one time about 119 but don't know if he heard me or not.

- De N4OW: Very happy to check in on 17 net with CN8YR for first QNI.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC 21055 kHz. Nothing heard. 17m: CN8YR peaked to RST 429 in AZ at 1620 UTC just for a few seconds. Otherwise, nothing heard from Med in AZ. Med didn't hear my brief call. Poor conditions today, but great to work Al on 17m.

20 m: 1500 - 1536 UTC, 14054.6 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14054.6 kHz (14055 kHz busy). 95 watts, then later QRO to kW. I believe at least one other station was calling the net, but too weak for me to copy. My apologies. Very long skip conditions this morning. Signals from Europe were very good, but US stations were very hard to copy in AZ. Thanks, Yann for the QSPs and for picking up the stations I missed.
- De F5LAW: NCS was S7 at first, S9 later with QRO. Very annoying QRM from a station tuning up on QRG. I think I heard another station calling, not sure if for SSN, I didn't get the call sign. 15m: NIL. 17m: NIL. Pile up on QRG with good signals from North America.
- De N4OW: AA7FV 229 QRO 569.
- De KA5TJS: Very poor conditions here on Sunday, could hear Yann better than Darrel at most times.
- De G4CPA: I Only mngd to hr/wk Darrel AA7FV. No other SSN stns hrd I checked the other QRG's but nothing hrd.
- De CN8YR: Unavailable.

Sunday, February 9, 2020.
20 m: 1500 - 1532 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, QRO to kW near end of net. I think conditions were relatively poor today, although we've had worse. Most stations were copied well into Arizona, but were not being heard well with most of the net. 1600 - 1610 UTC, I did listen on 15m and 17m, just in case anybody came up. No SSN stations heard.

- De G4CPA: Well condx atrocious here, in middle of storm from hell "Ciaran" 80mph gusts, trees down and villages around here flooded out, lots of QRN QRM & QSB. The first stn I hrd was F5LAW Yann, then vanished, then heard Darrel, also disappeared and lots of QRM.

20 m: 1500 - 1523 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz. (Contest QRM on 14055). Started at 95 watts, then QRO to kW. A good net.
- De G4CPA: Sri nil cpi on Yann F5LAW and TJ, K9TJL. Very active contest today on other QRG's. Nothing hrd on other SSN QRG's. Big storm Dennis passed through overnight. Lots of local flooding damage etc. but we escaped it.
- De K9TJL: Net held on Alt QRG 14349 kHz. Due to DX Contest. Sorry Nil F5LAW/G4CPA.
- De F5LAW: Big storm for the third time this week: Ciara, Inès, now Dennis. Storm in progress during net, very impressive and scary. NCS' signal was S5 on peaks at first, up to S9 with QRO.
- De KA5TJS: I was their but no one could hear me. Darrel was not moving the S meter but I could copy him. Oh well, maybe next week.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then QRO. N4OW, Al wasn't copying me at all. Thanks, TJ for the QSPs. After our 20m net was underway, a weak DX pileup appeared on our frequency, which didn't help. I don't know why conditions were quite so bad today. The geomagnetic field has been somewhat active in the last few days, although we've had much worse.
- De F5LAW: DX pileup a few minutes after net started, QRM 5 at times.
- De N4OW: K9TJL was 439 QSB No other stations heard. Requested QSP to AA7FV.

I thought I caught some noise peaks that would have been consistent with a "4CPA", but I wasn't sure if there was a real signal there at all. Sounds as if it really might have been you! No other SSN stations heard, but a great chat with Yann. Solid copy all the way, in spite of QSB.

- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC, listened on 21055 kHz. Nothing heard. I was trying a new antenna on 17m for the first time. It's just a half-wave dipole, facing roughly towards CN8. Switching between the dipole and the rhombic while listening to Med, although there was deep QSB on both antennas, on average the dipole was about one S-unit stronger than the rhombic. The rhombic is pointing to EU, about 20 degrees away from CN8 from AZ, so whatever rhombic sidelobe there is towards CN8 must be about 1 S-unit down on a dipole. That's not surprising. This is just a temporary antenna at the moment - if the wind blows, it will fall down. I'll try to make it more permanent.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055.12 kHz. (QRM on 14054.87, so I called on 14055.12). 95 watts at first, then QRO to kW because of conditions. Just at QNF: DL6UNF, QRM.
- De F5LAW: NCS was peaking 559 with 95W and 599 with QRO but down into noise at times in both cases.

WebSDR in Santa Clarita, CA.
TJ was heard in K1TTT: K1TTT-#18087.9 K9TJL 1602Z 24 UNITED STATES: CW 13 dB 15 WPM CQ.
- De AA7FV: 1600 UTC. On 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 17m: 1555 UTC, I heard K9TJL calling CQ RBN, but nothing heard during the SSN. 1605 UTC, CN8YR 219. I just caught pieces of Med's call on QSB peaks. I tried answering, but I'm sure Med couldn't hear me. Overall, conditions were poor today, although we have had worse.
- De K9TJL: AA7FV 229(Did not call him) Ytd hrd Darrel 599 on paddles 0n 17 meters in QSO several minutes.

20 m: 1500 - 1520 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055 kHz full of contest QRM, so called on 14349 kHz. First with 95W, then QRO to kW. There MAY have been a weak signal replying to my CQ calls, but RST 119 at best. I couldn't copy any CW characters at all. (From Yann's report, it was almost certainly F5LAW calling.) I think this is almost the first time in 2 or 3 years than I haven't managed to contact F5LAW at all because of conditions.
- De K9TJL: NCS was 339 Then QRO 559-579.
- De F5LAW: 20m hopeless, first time in many months that I can't QNI, sorry. NCS was 239 on peaks, NIL most of time.
- De KA1ULN: Nothing here Darrel. The prop looks good but I am hearing and seeing nothing.

20 m: 1500 - 1529 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then QRO to kW because of poor condx. Conditions were much better than last week, but still very poor. Last week I blamed geomagnetic activity. I don't know what to blame this week. I've a suspicion that I could detect two weak stations in the noise this morning, on the same frequency. In my notes I copied a character "G" (which might have been part of G4CPA at a peak of QSB above the noise) and I also copied down a "KB" which might well have been "KH" from part of DL2KHU. Another 1 or 2 dB improvement in signal strength could have made all the difference! Sorry I couldn't do better this morning.
- De G4CPA: I try every week but nothing has been happening this side, cudda been me you hrd trying today hi!
- De DL2KHU: Maybe that I was the week station calling you- I tried with 20 wtts.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 95 watts at first, then QRO to kW. Rhombic beam antenna, with optional active 4-ft vertical for receive. 14349 kHz. (QRM from WES contest on 14055 kHz). Steve is in a null of the rhombic beam pattern, so much stronger on my 4-ft active vertical. Conditions today were as poor as I can remember. When will conditions improve? 1600 UTC nothing heard on 21055 kHz. 1605 UTC nothing heard on 18088 kHz, I put out a couple of CQ SSN calls, but no SSN replies.
- De W1SFR: Darrel, that looks like a pretty sharp null at that. I briefly had you at 579 and then you went down to zip. I thought that was strange, but perhaps the null shifted a bit?

We missed F5LAW - I can't remember the last time we didn't make it at all across the Atlantic. 1620 UTC 18088 kHz: Nothing heard of Med, but heard TJ calling CQ SSN. K9TJL 569. (Sorry, I was called away so couldn't answer.)
- De KA1ULN: THE PROP IS NOT ALLOWING ME TO COPY EVERYTHING. I hear code but not enough to figure out what the QSO is. There is no QSB or QRM but just the prop is not good yet!
- De G4CPA: Think I'm living in a Faraday cage here, hi! Lots of contest stns hrd, but nothing re SSN activity checked all QRG's.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions were the best they've been for very many months. Thanks everyone for a great net. I hope conditions will continue at least as good as this. K9TJL after QNF. 1600-1605 UTC. 21055 kHz, nothing heard. 1605-1615 UTC 18088 kHz: There was a weak QSO on frequency. Both stations were RST 119, too weak for me to copy any CW characters. I don't know if they were SSN stations. I tried a CQ SSN but no response.
20m had been so good this morning that I'd hoped 17m might have been better. However, 20m was great this morning, so can't complain.
- De F5LAW: Very nice 20m session with good path between AZ and EU. Congratulations and thanks to Uli and Geoff. RX report on 17m: Briefly listened to 17m, heard Darrel's CQ calls at RST 329 with fast QSB. No other stations heard. I couldn't stay anyway.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1450 - 1500 UTC: W1SFR. Truly awful conditions, some of the worst we've had for the net. I've not received any 20m WSPR reports from Europe since September 25th. This is extremely unusual. Solar flux was up to 73 today, but yesterday's Ap index was up to 23, the highest it's been for many months. The Kp index has reached storm levels for the last 4 or more days. It has to get better than this! Thanks TJ for the QSPs.

Another station broke in to say I was being called by a CN station, but nothing heard here. Probably Med was hearing me on a websdr? 1614 -1615 UTC could just hear K9TJL calling CQ SSN at RST 219.

- De AA7FV: I could hear a station there, I think K9TJL according to Med, but too weak for me to copy the call. All signals copied via the antenna, not via any websdr. At the moment, I cannot listen to any websdr simultaneously with operating the rig. The computer is on a different table in the shack, and my headphone cord from the rig is not long enough!
- De K9TJL: Darrel I copied your sig. just fine on K3FEF ON 18088 kHz. Now i know why i did not hear you direct as you were using the Dipole. I also did hear Med weak on the Antenna here. This first in long time i have heard Med via Antenna here. Good job to both. Try using Web Sdr from 3 sites at once and using My station/Antenna at once and Transmitting along with that. EEEE!!!

The 17m net was the best I can remember. Very short sound clip of part of Yann's transmission on 17m this morning. During the recording, I switched back and forth between the rhombic antenna and the half-wave dipole:
0 - 5 seconds rhombic. 5 - 9.5 seconds dipole. 9.5 - 19.5 seconds rhombic. 19.5 - 26 seconds (end) dipole.
As before, recording made just by holding my phone near the rx speaker.

- De G4CPA: I could hear Yann and Darrel in QSO on14 349, I tried calling but no joy. Nothing on other QRG's too much contest QRM.

20 m: 1500 - 1528 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: Very strong echo on Yann, I presume round-the-world echo. The echo was as strong as the main signal at times. My antenna is bi-directional.
- De K9TJL: F5LAW, KA5TJS and G4CPA via webSDR. The recording i submitted today SSN Intercon Net. Not pleased however i hated to erase it as some may like it.
- De F5LAW: AA7FV: Mostly 589 with a very strong and long echo, sometimes difficult to read. Signal up to 10dB over S9 on last over and with less or no echo at all, UFB.

20 m: 1500 - 1531 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: QRM from WES on 14055. Rhombic antenna, 17m dipole, or 4-ft vertical on RX. Conditions were good, except that on 20m I had intermittent S9+10 dB QRN.
- De K9TJL: F5LAW WEB/SDR Booming sig.Via Utah Server 4.
- De G4CPA: I thought Darrel passed back to me 2nd time over, I replied ,then found him wkg W1SFR, so was confused with that hi! (Intermittent heavy QRN at AA7FV). Nothing hrd on other QRGs.

20 m: 1500 - 1532 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz. (Another QSO in progress on 14055).
Here's a picture of part of the operating desk at AA7FV this morning. There are 4 sideswipers, all hooked up and ready to be used. Left to right, there is the "Fat Boy" tbcp from Steve W1SFR, the Twanger made by G3HGE, in the background the GHD GF501A, and on the right a Begali HST 2. During this morning's Intercontinental net, I used 3 of them, swapping between keys on a whim. The one not used this morning was the GHD - in fact I rarely use that at all these days. The other 3 all get heavily used.
- De K9TJL: F5LAW WEB SIG. BIG Sig. Recording of 20m session. MERRY CHRISTMAS...
- De G4CPA: Well shortest day today. Winter Solstice. Merry Christmas to all SSNers. Tnx Darrel great NCS job, CUAGN next session.
- De N1EA: Lovely recording of my dear friends, even though I'm without a transmitter, I listen with my inside antenna and ITT/Mackay Marine 3031A ship's receiver on a small amplified antenna. But nothing as strong as these recordings! Maybe soon again like last year I'll be able to operate from my friend's radio station.

Notes:
- De CN8YR: K9TJL TJ Nil Direct and RX with QSB on websdr.
- De AA7FV: I was using diversity reception on Med. He was on average much stronger on the dipole than the rhombic, but with QSB. The fading on the dipole was usually out of phase with fading on the rhombic, so when Med faded into the noise on the dipole, I could still copy on the rhombic. Yann, sorry I didn't hear your call on 17m.
- De K9TJL: CN8YR Direct and Web Sdr. Med Good 439 at my QTH Via Xcvr.
- De F5LAW: No path at all to NCS. Called AA7FV once but was unheard. MX and HNY friends.

20 m: 1500 - 1541 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: There may have been another station calling in - G4CPA? - but I couldn't copy the call. RST 119. Thanks everyone for another great net, and for a year of great nets in spite of spotty conditions. Hopefully 2021 will have conditions at least as good, if not better. Have an excellent New Year, and I'm looking forward to2021.
- De K9TJL: Long calls from G1YAN (web) may be trying QNI.
- De F5LAW: Excellent signal from NCS with TERRIFIC ECHO! I had to attenuate the signal to improve readability. Think strongest echo I've ever heard on a signal... Storm Bella over western EU, wind gusting up to 141 kph on the F Channel coast. Rather good conditions for the last Intercon net of the year. We'll do even better in 2021... Thanks to all NCSs and QNIs, keep up the good work fellows. A Happy and Healthy Year 2021 to you and yours friends, take care and stay safe.
- De G4CPA: I could, hear Darrel S9 with strong echo making difficult reading. Nothing else to report, I was continuously calling. But no luck this time. Snowing hr at the moment, after very bad storm Bella came through. HNY to everyone, stay safe.
