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 3, 2021.
20 m: 1500 - 1540 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: The echo on Yann and Geoff was making copy more difficult than it should have been. After QNF: PE1FJN, W1SFR.
- De F5LAW: Nice start for 2021 but high local noise level here, particularly on 17m. On 20m, echo on NCS stronger at end. A Happy and Healthy Year 2021 to you and yours guys.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: On both 20m and 17m I had a relatively high noise level (S2 to S3) today. Normally my background noise level is down at S1 or less. I don't know if the noise today was man-made or natural. Thanks everyone for a great first net of 2021. I wish a very Happy New Year to all.
- De F5LAW: Heard NCS calling me but very weak signal in the noise. I replied but was unheard so didn't stay.
- De CN8YR: Unavailable, Happy New Year.

Sunday, January 24, 2021.
20 m: 1500 - 1529 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV:
It had been raining, so my rhombic tuning had changed, and was changing during the sideswiper net. There are about 140 spacers on the ladder line leading from the shack to the antenna, and I suspect they were all damp, but gradually drying out. Because of the changing SWR, I didn't use the amplifier at all today. This made for some contortions in the shack. I operate the sideswiper key with my left hand, and the rig with my right hand. The antenna tuner (a Palstar) is to the left of the key. While operating the key with my left hand, I was simultaneously reaching over with my right hand to adjust the antenna tuner on the far left. Fortunately it rarely rains in Arizona, so this isn't usually an issue.
- De K9TJL: All stations intercepted and recorded Via K3FEF Web sdr site.
- De F5LAW: Nice 20m session. I won't try 17m, good conditions (W, ZS etc.) but awful local noise.
- De G4CPA: There was some deliberate QRM, rapid dots from bug? Also French stn on QRG, he asked QRL at first , I sent yes then he began messing about with dits n dahs ...

17 m: 1540 - 1620 UTC, 18088 kHz.
Notes:
- De CN8YR: No direct copy today. Heard K9TJL & AA7FV via Web Sdr. Some exchanges wid TJ. I was testing a 2x15 m dipole (~ 2 halfwaves on 17m) beaming 10° N. So one of the 4 lobes is beaming 280° N toward Mexico.
- De AA7FV: 1540 UTC 18088 I had heard K9TJL on the frequency, but only RST 439. I didn't call. 1550 UTC, 18088 kHz, worked IT9MSB (on the rhombic) while waiting for Med. Not SSN. 1600 UTC listened on 21055 kHz.. Nothing heard.
- De K9TJL: Heard: AA7FV, CN8YR, W0CCA. CN8YR in comms with GM8..//1618Z. Duplex w CN8YR/K9TJL.

Notes:

- De AA7FV: 1548 UTC 18088 kHz: K9TJL 539. 1600 UTC Nothing heard on 21055 kHz. 1605 UTC 18088 kHz: K9TJL 229. I could just hear TJ calling Med, and I could hear a faint signal come up in response, but (presumably) Med was too weak to copy here. I guess 17m was closed to AZ.
- De K9TJL: Med, yes confirm your websdr, also heard you after search of different sdr, best at K3FEF.
- De F5LAW: 15m: Nothing. 17m: less local noise but could just hear very faint signal on 18088 kHz. Too bad because excellent path to USA with signals up to 599.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I could tell that Yann was there (just) and copy occasional letters, but that was all. Awful conditions. This morning I had no WSPR reports from Europe at all, which is very unusual. Worst conditions so far this year. 1540 - 1600 UTC 18088 kHz: Heard K9TJL calling, but only RST 329. By 1600 UTC down to RST 119. Another QSO already in progress on the frequency came up from the QSB.
- De K9TJL: Recording of session via K3FEF webSDR.

20 m: 1500 - 1528 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: The unthinkable happened last night (March 12). It snowed in Tucson! The weight of snow and ice on the antenna wire brought my rhombic antenna down. Most of the lines you can see in the picture above are guy ropes or halyards, but the antenna wire itself is now firmly tangled in the tops of several mesquite trees. You can see the fiber pole bending under the strain.
A progress report (March 13): I've managed to restore one half of the rhombic, and the bent pole is now back vertical. The other half of the antenna is still tangled in the tentacles and grappling hooks of 7 different mesquite trees along the length of the wire. I've given up for today, but will continue tomorrow. I do intend to take part in the International SSN tomorrow, by loading up one half of the rhombic. With luck, it may only be about 6 dB or so weaker than the full antenna.
14349 kHz (WES contest QRM on 14055). Half-rhombic antenna (other half in the trees). kW. Very poor conditions to Europe today. Geomagnetic A index 17, which is always a bad sign.

I was getting essentially no European reports on my WSPR tx this morning - or yesterday morning - which is very unusual. The Ap index been at 29, which is one of the highest values so far this year, and always means trouble. Things can only improve!

- De K9TJL: Heard Med calling SSN on xcvr at 2-2-9. Switch to web sdr K3FEF and had great copy. My sigs. were not present on the SDR due to signal going over top of the east coast. NEVER GIVE UP THE SHIP, NO MATTER WHAT. Thanks to MED. Recording of session via K3FEF webSDR.
- De AA7FV: Nothing heard. Tried a CQ SSN, no replies. Thanks for the K3FEF websdr recording, TJ. I was still listening on channel during your QSO with Med, but heard nothing at all from either of you. (I
was using the 17m dipole, which is best for Med's direction.) I can't believe how well Med was booming into the SDR. Sorry I missed all the fun!

After 5 minutes of no replies, returned to 14055 kHz and called CQ SSN there. I was then called by: AD4K in FL, WB5AEE in TX and K9TJL, glad to have a true SSN QSO this morning! Thanks, TJ. Some QRM on 14055 kHz also, but it was all contest traffic and no other sweet Sideswiper sounds.
1600 UTC tried a CQ SSN on 18088 kHz, but nothing heard. No CW signals at all heard on 17m.

- De KA1ULN: I tried and tried from the start of your net to the end but conditions did not allow me to be heard. I cannot wait for cycle 25 to kick in, maybe better luck Thursday night.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz (QRM on 14055). Truly abysmal conditions. I wasn't seeing any transatlantic WSPR reports at all this morning. Geomagnetic Ap index up to 10, which always means trouble.
- De F5LAW: Awful conditions. Darrel and TJ both QRK 5 via Northern Utah webSDR #2. My signals weren't detected in Utah. Unavailable for 2nd session.
- De G4CPA: No SSN in this neck of the woods condx abysmal!

- De F5LAW: Super path to AZ on 20m but new strong local QRM here, affecting all bands! I was listening also via N. Utah webSDR #2, part copy on TJ and Darrel was much stronger on TRX.

20 m: 1500 - 1533 UTC, 14054.75 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: I worked G3WPF just before the net, with fairly good signals both ways. So, I was hoping the conditions to EU were going to be good this morning, but unfortunately not.
14054.75 kHz (QRM on 14055). Jim W9TK/0 was running 5 watts from the Colorado mountains. Very disappointing conditions, especially with the relatively high sunspot number today.
- De F5LAW: First heard G4CPA calling me on 14055 kHz with very strong signal. Could hear US SSN stations AA7FV, K9TJL and N1EA on Utah webSDR #2 but NIL on air. Eventually heard AA7FV on air at 1519Z on 14054.75 kHz and we made it with QSB.

Notes:

Judging by the ~1-second time delay before the matching thunder, one strike had been within about 300 metres of the shack. The antenna extends ~100 metres away from the shack, so that's far too close for comfort!

- De G4CPA: I was hangin' in there. I could only hear AA7FV Darrel intermittently.
- De DL2KHU: I had to remove my vertical ant for 20m - 10m a few month ago. This afternoon I build a dipole for 20 m. While testing it at the balcony I heard Darrel with RST 559 at the peak. I could not answer because the ant was still not in resonance (that time at abt 13.200 MHZ), but it seem to work.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I noticed this visitor to my antenna last night, coming back from my evening walk with the dog. It's a very poor photo, but I was in a hurry to try to catch him before he flew away. You can just see a bit of my new open wire feeder behind the tree, going up to the top of the pole that's holding up one corner of the rhombic antenna. You can see the owl's tufted ears, as he's looking away from me, no doubt trying to choose something tasty on the ground for his supper. I wish I'd got a better photo of him, but I'm hoping he'll come back.

- De AA7FV: Poor conditions, with some contest QRM. No CW signals heard from EU this morning. On 20m WSPR very few EU stations were heard in Arizona this morning.
- De G4CPA: Well I could hear Darrel RST 239 in QSB, Mucho QRM from an EA8 stn who persisted on the QRG, I informed him there was a net in progress but he didn't seem to understand and continued with QRZ and di di dah dah didis? hi! No further SSN activity heard.
- De DL2KHU: Tried QNI but 10 wtts from the FT-7 were to weak. QRM from an EA8 station. But I also noticed the call EA7HAA calling CQ SSN.
- De EA7HAA: I tried it too, but that EA8 stn is one of that only hear 5nn...

Notes:

I mentioned in the SSN this morning that we'd been invaded by a plague of frogs. Actually it's toads, not frogs - my mistake. We think these toads probably came into the house through the flap of our dog door, which the dog can push open herself when she wants to go out into the yard or come back into the house. They are tiny toads, as you can see in the picture above - perhaps 15 mm long. As I mentioned in the net, last night we caught ten of them hopping around the house, but we know there must be more still hiding around the house. So far as I know, none of them have yet made it into the shack.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz. Contest QRM on 14055 kHz. Sorry that we missed G4CPA and IZ2XAO on 14055 kHz, at the same time.
- De F5LAW: First on 14055 kHz heard: G4CPA and IZ2XAO. After a few minutes I sent "SSN shifted to 14349 kHz" but guess Luca was no longer on QRG. So I was a bit late on 14349 kHz. Very pleased Luca joined the fun on both bands and great to have Steve back with us.
- De G4CPA: I just had great QSO with Luca on 14 055 kHz, he was having heavy QRM, we had a good path from Milan to Yorkshire,599 plus each way,! No other SSN stns heard, welcome to Luca, hope see him again.

- De AA7FV: Great nets! Conditions on 15m and 17m were much better than 20m today, and some of the best 15/17m that I can remember. Solar flux 111 today, although Ap index was 10. I'm guessing that the relatively high SF accounts for the great 15/17m conditions, while the high Ap accounts for the relatively high noise level on 20m. On 20m, F5LAW with an echo, which with the noise made copy difficult.
- De K9TJL: Recording via K3FEF webSDR.

- De N2ZUT: End-fed antenna with my standard straight key. Working hard to begin using my "Fat Boy".
- De DL2KHU: All reports estimated. The rig has no s-meter. I was just testing a HB monoband QRP rig, PWR 3 wtts, ant 15 m monopole. I could hear me back 539 at webSDR K3FEF in NE Pennsylvania. Tried QNI but no way to Arizona. I built an audiofilter with a vy small peek. Sunday was a vy experimental setup and it was difficult to tune the signal so exactly, that it passed the peek. The conventional VFO was drifting for the first 30 minutes. Recording of received signals. I used the audio recorder app with my smartphone. The first 4 minutes the smartphone was not close enough to the speaker. From minute 6:30 on I found the correct setting.

Notes:

- De K9TJL: N2UHC was one of the other stations calling in. Recording via N. Utah webSDR.
- De KA5TJS: Did not try for 17m. May XYL QRM starts about that time.

20 m: 1500 - 1536 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz. (Bad contest QRM on 14055.) Unfortunately, SSB QRM for most of the 20m session.
- De K9TJL: Recording of session, QRM A GO GO.
- De W1SFR: Well my long winded response after you called me was lost to the SSB QRM I'm sure. I had my antenna go down yesterday in a snow storm, and now all wires have a 1" coating of ice on them. I managed to get it back up in the air about 20' but the weight of the ice prevents me from getting it up higher at this time. I only had a small amount of paracord wrapped around a tree and used what I could. Seems like it works just about as good as having it up at its usual height.
- De CN8YR, N2ZUT: Unavailable.

20 m: 1500 - 1529 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: After QNF, I was called by HB9DCL, Frank in Zurich, but not SSN station. A slight echo on Yann, and a stronger echo on Frank.
- De F5LAW: Very strong echo on AA7FV. Some peaks at S8 but mostly S5 average.
- De DL2KHU: Tried QNI. Tnx QSP Yann. I even heard a few weak beeps when Darrel passed the key to Ron N9EE. I made a record after Darrel passed the key a second time to Ron at 15:26 UTC, but I am really not sure if the few beeps are from Ron because even Darrel's sigs then disappeared.

Notes:

- De F5LAW: Weak signals from CN8YR at first, up to 599 at end. AA7FV into noise after a few minutes.
- De N1EA: I was on 18,088 kHz but I heard nothing at all. I have a very poor antenna, it is good at receiving only noise and radiating a very weak signal. Most of my life I have been blessed with exceptional radio locations, now I am blessed with QRN. But I have my receivers on listening on spot frequencies for any CW signals that land there.

20 m: 1500 - 1534 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz. (Contest QRM on 14055.) A great 20m net into Arizona.
- De N2ZUT: Good to be back. Enjoyable net this morning.
- De DL2KHU: In rnd 1 little problems with the TRX. It sometimes unwanted switched back to RX while sending. After tuning the ant it works.
- De G4CPA: I did briefly hear Jim N2ZUT. In the deep QSB, SRY had to go QRT.

- De N1EA: K9TJL called me but my friend, Med, CN8YR could not hear me. But it was nice to at least be heard.

20 m: 1500 - 1540 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: I also heard I5CTE call, but I didn't have time to acknowledge him.
- De N2ZUT: Apologies in advance. Just spent the last two hours clearing ice and snow. If my fist sounds like it's encased in a cement block, it's because it is. Ok, charging myself a $5 fine for whining. Season's Greetings to all and look forward to working with y'all after the holidays!
- De F5LAW: Conditions somewhat unstable on both bands but nice sessions. A Happy and Peaceful Xmas to all!
- De G4CPA: Strange condx today. I had a high noise level, plus an echo on the sigs gathered momentum as we progressed! Occasional QRM from contesters ! Merry Christmas to you all , es H N Y , 73.
- De KA5TJS: Well I was down the band in a QSO and got in late but not as late as Steve HI HI.
- De K9TJL: Recording via Utah webSDR. I was receiving 3 sigs at once. 1. My Receiver; 2. SDR/ Along with the 3rd sig or Tail of the sender's Transmitter. Now you know why I pop in/out of the net. MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL SWIPERS.
- De W1SFR: Sorry for the late check in folks. Lots of snow here last night. We got 10" of the white stuff.

20 m: 1500 - 1532 UTC, 14055 kHz.
Notes:
- De AA7FV: On 20m signals were a bit weaker than normal today, and the echo on EU stations was strong, with the usual QSB.
- De G4CPA: I could only cpi Darrel at RST 559 ,Big echo on his sig, QRM from F5 stn he sent QRL then started C'Qing must have hrd me go back to him he went on for at least ten mins, which made things difficult. Hey ho! Snow on gnd today 5c leaden skies. Tnx fer NCS Darrel, hpe condx improve for next year! Wishing all participants a very happy healthy and prosperous new year!
- De DL2KHU: All other stations nil.
- De F5LAW: Thanks for this last net of 2021, BCNU next year... HNY to you and yours fellows.
