20 m: 1500 - 1535 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Optional 4-ft active vertical on receive. N2ZUT: About 2 or 3 S-points stronger on my active vertical than the rhombic. I guess the rhombic has a null in your direction!
- De N2ZUT: Interesting conditions this morning. Despite heavy QSB, it was still a fun operating sked. Happy New Year to all!

- De AA7FV: Great to hear everyone.  A good start to the SSN year. Please keep safe, enjoy a Happy New Year, and see you next time.
- De F5LAW: Nice sessions in spite of unstable conditions. Sorry, had to go QRT in middle of 17m session. A Happy and Healthy Year 2022 to you and yours fellows.

20 m: 1500 - 1523 UTC, 14349 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz. (QRM on 14055 kHz). I heard two other stations calling, both very weak and with strong echo. ??? DL2KHU?? RST 219 (I copied a "5" in the call, which might have been an "H" with an echo! Sorry I couldn't do better!) and ?????? RST 119. From the delay on the echo, I'm guessing both unknown stations were in EU. Sorry that I wasn't able to copy better today. VERY poor and disappointing 20m conditions. It was the echo today that made things especially hard.
- De F5LAW: Messages from NCS mostly unintelligible: Echo as strong as signal and deep QSB. Rare peaks at S7, S4 in QSB, QRK 5 on short bits but mostly 2 to 1, whatever the signal strength. Heard PA3BYW calling in but very weak, tried to QSP and called him but was unheard, awful conditions. Didn't hear G4CPA and IZ2XAO on 14055 kHz, only contest QRM so QSY to alt QRG.
- De G4CPA: The QRG was in constant use by various chasers of other group interests. However at 15.00 UTC I had a brief QSO with Luca IZ2XAO rst 599 each way! Then he suddenly disappeared in deep QSB, I didn't cpy anymore SSN stns on other QRGs.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 18088.2 kHz (QRM on 18088.0). What a difference! 17m was perfect copy, so we could have a good chat. After net closed, was called by a friend, G3YLA (RST 449) but not SSN.
- De F5LAW: What a difference, armchair copy on NCS, very nice chat. Too bad no path to K9TJL.
- De CN8YR: Unavailable.

20 m: 1500 - 1525 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: At end of net I heard another station calling, but sorry, too weak for me to copy.
- De K9TJL: Recording of end of net. Yes, poor cndx today.
- De G4CPA: Nothing to report, condx so bad nothing SSN wise to rprt sry.

Notes:

20 m: 1500 - 1537 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: A busy 20m net today.  Conditions were deteriorating towards the end of the net, but thanks everyone for checking in.
- De G4CPA: I heard the odd dit n dot from some of the other stns but too weak to read.
- De W1SFR: ALSO HRD W9EBE AND N9EE BOTH 58. -18f here 2 days ago in the morning. Current temp 18F with 8" of snow on the ground. Good net... Thanks Darrel!

Notes:
- De AA7FV: A great, truly international 17 m net today.  Conditions, at least into Arizona, were very much better than 20m.  Thanks everyone.
- De F5LAW: Excellent sessions, no short skip here.
- De K9TJL: N1EA DR I heard you calling me at 1642Z on 18088 kHz, but you Fdz out...
- De N1EA: I tried to listen and participate today but signals were very weak, I heard Darrel but only weakly, he will have to turn the rhombic for me to make up for poor conditions. I know my antenna is poor but I keep trying.

20 m: 1500 - 1525 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: F5LAW 449, down to 339 at end.  Strong echo/flutter on the signal made copy difficult.
- De N2ZUT: Greetings from Upstate New York where the temperature is a balmy minus 10! Interesting conditions today.
- De F5LAW: Very rough copy on NCS due to huge echo, tried all bells and whistles of TRX + 2 antennas but no success. S7 on peaks with some deep QSB but would have been QRK 5 all the way without that awful echo.
- De G4CPA: Nuthin to rprt hr. Just the odd dot n dash? Condx terrible! Must have been yesterday's storm Malik to blame hi!

Notes:

- De F5LAW: QRK 2 max on NCS due to terrible echo.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14054.5 kHz (QRM on 14055 kHz, but as the net progressed we had QRM here too.) Disappointing conditions on 20m today. Our alternate 20m frequency (14349) would have been a better choice today. I also received an SWL report via email:

20 m: 1500 - 1518 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Contest QRM on 14055. Some QRM from splatter from SSB net lower in frequency, and some deliberate CW QRM on frequency.
- De F5LAW: Well, I was feeling uneasy, terrible storm again. We are still in orange alert level with winds over 100 kph. Dudley wasn't too bad here but Eunice was terrible and this stormy episode isn't over yet. Fingers crossed...
- De G4CPA: Condx just like the WX crazy!! Storm Franklin has arrived it's pretty windy. The big problem with this one is the relentless heavy rain causing flooding around lots of areas in the UK, it's supposed to fade away in the morning abt 07.00 UTC. So keep your eyes on this one Yann. My aerial is still up! I only mngd to copy Darrel wkg you he was RST 339. No others hrd.

Notes:

- De KT5LA: Very light copy this morning here on 18.088. I missed the 20 meter net. Lots of contest traffic. AA7FV was only 339 on 17m. I did hear a relay station but am not sure who that was. I hope to join you regularly on the weekend nets because my weekends are now FREE! The benefits of retirement (which I'm living so far).

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14055.1 kHz (up slightly from 14055.0 to clear a QSO in progress just below QRG). F5LAW: with QSB and slight echo.

20 m: 1500 - 1526 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions started with good propagation to NY, lousy to AZ to EU. At QNF, propagation to AZ to NY was disappearing, but EU came up.
- De F5LAW: Geomag indices still against us today: Ap 13 and Kp 6. Strange conditions on 20m, 17m much much better.

- De DL2KHU: At the end of my first over my rig switched off by itself. Power connection failed. This morning I cleaned the contacts of the fuses. Maybe that was the reason. Never do anything at a running system ;-). So here was some hectic to get the rig on for the next over.

20 m: 1500 - 1529 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: After the 20m net was called by N2TNN and K1NIE, but not SSN. The Sun had been quite active in the last 12 hours or so. There had even been a radio blackout at 03:30 UTC, which I had also detected via my 19.8 kHz VLF monitoring of the signal from NWC in Australia. Disappointing conditions today. I hope the Sun settles down a bit by next week.

17 m: 1600 - 1617 UTC, 18088 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I just checked (SWPC), and there was a solar X-ray flare coincident with our 17m net. The event started at 16:02 UTC, and ended at 16:13 . That "nicely" covers the 17m SSN, and would account for why signals between France and Arizona were getting weaker and weaker during the net.
- De KT5LA: No joy for me on any SSN today...not much QRM, just poor conditions.

Notes:

- De F6EEQ: I gave it a try with my /p setup : 40m dipole (8m in center, 1m extremities).
\Darrel AA7FV : did hear the CQ ok, but too low to copy something else, some partial words from time to time.
Yann F5LAW : strong QSB but could copy 80%, which is not bad on 20m!
Tried to CQ but no luck! Next week will be at QRA with delta loop 80m @ 12m, so hope better condx.

From SWPC-NOAA, Sunday, September 04, 2022 12:26 UTC: G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming was observed at 04/0515 UTC and has been persistent since.

Notes:

- De KN6BAZ: There was a station working on the same frequency 14055, and it doubled with Darrel's transmission today. I searched AA7FV on RBN and found a new frequency just below 14055.

Just tuning across the band, I did find a few weak Europeans (G, F, I, DL, OK...) audible in Arizona near the bottom of the 20m band in a massive DX pileup, but I suspect they may all have been using high power and beams.

- De N9EE: I was at our NAQCC-WFL event/Suncoast ARC picnic at the Eagle Point Park in New Port Richey, Florida.  Right on the Gulf, 30 miles NW Tampa.  I had my IC705, T1 tuner, Bioenno 9AHr battery and 17/20m end fed wire, high end up 17 ft. I wanted to get setup by 1500, but did not until around 1540 hrs.  I heard you Darrel on 20m, strong sig, heard a couple others, but by the time I was ready the net went QNF. I then heard N5DR, 599 in QSO after the net so Darrel I could not give you a call.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Based  on solar flux and geomagnetic indices, I was expecting today's net to have some of the worst conditions. In fact, it conditions were the best for an Intercontinental SSN we've had for some time, especially on 15m and 17m.
- De N9EE: Had good time on all 3 bands, heard about all, not DL.  Our path to Florida is not working for DLs.
- De WX7V: Happy to hear all the stations on 20, 15 and 17m.  All except CN8YR and DL2KHU which were nil on all bands.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14349 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Called SSN on 14.349 MHz, because of SS contest QRM on 14055.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14054.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Contest QRM on 14055., and SSB QRM on 14349., so slid down to 054.5 to call the net.
- De WX7V: I'm operating from my lakehouse this morning near Corsicana Texas on Richland Chambers Reservoir.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: At the end of the net I was called by an ?O...? station, but the echo on his signal was as strong as the main signal, with a delay matching his dot speed and making copy impossible.  I would have given him RST 039.
- De DL2KHU: Today an experimental antenna construction. Just finished at the beginning of the session. 15m wire, a small loading coil. But I did not find the right resonance point. No good SWR. Seems to work but not as good as the vertical dipole.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055.1 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I slid up a little to get just a little further from another QSO below 55.0. After the net I was also called by NP3K, but not in SSN.
- De WX7V: Darrell,  Nice job as NCS - I couldnt stay for the 17M net due to family. NP3K RST 539.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14349 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: We had to endure splatter from an SSB station way down the band, and then deliberate CW QRM started exactly on our frequency. So not a very pleasing SSN - many thanks to Ron, Chris and TJ for putting up with the QRM.
- De WX7V: Had a lot of SSB QRM.  Mid way thru our Net - a very week stations started tuning up and sending their call.  I could not copy their call tho.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1530 - 1540 UTC 18088 kHz: worked K9TJL and N9EE/4.
- De WX7V: After Rons turn the band dropped.  I could hear Darrel but not well enough to copy.  There were other stations that I could not hear well enough to copy either.
- De CN8YR: I was at Tafraout in portable condx and QRP.

17 m: 1600 - 1630 UTC, 18088 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: An intermittent undertone of a DX pileup appeared on the frequency, but too weak to copy.  I hope it didn't cause me to miss any other calls to the SSN.
- De KT5LA: Thanks to K9TJL for the QSP this morning on 18.088. Signals were quite low here; made good use of receiver filtering.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14054.65 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: QRM on 14055. The 20m band was quite busy, with a WES contest in progress.  There were strong echos on many US stations (although not on Ron or Dave).  Immediately after QNF I worked a VK station with very strong signals both ways.

Notes:

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I won't be available for this Sunday, December 25 Intercontinental SSN. If anyone else is available then, please feel free to put out a "CQ SSN". I will be back for the Sunday SSN on January 1. Thanks for the very enjoyable year of SSN in 2022 and  I'm looking forward to another great year of SSN in 2023.  All the very best to everyone for Christmas and the holiday season.
- De N9EE: Darrel emailed saying he could not be NCS, so I took it.
