20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Ron and Allen reported other stations trying to call into the net. There was some QRM from stations calling, but I didn't copy any other calls.
- De N9EE: When OE3ACA checked in also N1PYT was calling.  He was 539 and evidently was covered by OE3ACA at Darrel's QTH.
- De KA5TJS: Thought I heard N1BYT and AJ4SB in there. TNX for the Net Darrel, outstanding job as usual me friend!

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: After the 20m net, I listened around and could only hear a couple of very weak EU stations.  Because of flutter they were almost unreadable.  Conditions within the USA were good, but across the Atlantic terrible.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14054.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: A QSO already in progress on 14055 kHz. After QNF was called by: N9EE/4 and K9TJL.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: No EU stations heard on either band this morning. There had been a radio blackout warning about 3 hours before net time. Extremely strong echo on W1SFR.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Great sessions, although signals from across the Atlantic were weaker than usual.
- De K7TRT: 20M was actually better for me than 17M this time. It is usually the reverse.

20 m: 1500 - 1535 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: The latter part of the 20m net suffered from QRM from the wrong end of a DX pileup, with stations obviously not listening on the frequency before transmitting.
- De N9EE: Was good seeing European stations on SSN.

17 m: 1600 - 1625 UTC, 18088 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions on 17m were much better than 20m, although still not great.
- De G4CPA: My friend Julian - M7JSH is too close fer me to cpi. Too much echo on AA7FV on 20m but gud cpi On 17m, I don't think my S-meter is true. Sometimes sigs very loud showing nothing on the meter, occasionally I cud cpi Yann F5LAW, 229.
- De K7TRT: Conditions on both bands were quiet. SIGs were good for USA, but not for DX. EU DX opens up later in the day here.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I heard one station calling (probably Yann) at RST 149 but masked by my background noise. Usually my noise on 20m is low, S0-S1, but today noise was S4.
- De G4CPA: F5LAW RST 599 on 14055 kHz, RST 559 on 14349 kHz. No other SSN stns hrd on 20m.
- De F5LAW: I called twice but was unheard by NCS. Heard Geoff calling, we had a short chat but QSB got us after we shifted to alt QRG. G4CPA RST 579 on 14055 kHz; RST 339 on 14349 kHz.

17 m: 1600 - 1621 UTC, 18088 kHz.

Notes:

- De G4CPA: I could just abt detect Darrel AA7FV on 17m, nil other SSN stns.
- De KN6BAZ: Also heard AA7FV on 17m 599 during the 1600-1700 UTC NET, but couldn't join the net.

- De AA7FV: The AA7FV rhombic beam is not terminated, which means I have a strong back lobe only about 3 or 4 dB down on the main forward lobe. This makes it easier for echos from the long path to get into my antenna.

20 m: 1500 - 1535 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I heard K9TJL (589) call FR4PU after the 20m net, but I couldn't hear Jean.
- De KN6BAZ: DARREL, AA7FV very loud today, both NETs. I checked with WebSDR in Half Moon Bay , and other stations' signals been very weak on West Coast.
- De N9EE: I checked in with my X6100 at 10W.  Later changed to the FTDX10 at 100W.  It could hear slightly better on the DX10, was hearing F5LAW at about 30%.
- De FR4PU: 15:00 UTC I heard AA7FV, RST 239 – No other stations. I tried to transmit until 15:19 UTC but did not hear any crisp or at least sufficiently decipherable clear response.

20 m: 1500 - 1533 UTC, 14349 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14349 kHz  (Contest activity on 14055 kHz).
- De KN6BAZ: Had to retune MAGLOOP at the beginning of 20m NET. Been waiting at usual frequency, and then replied to Darrel CQ call at 14349.0 with VY high SWR.
- De G4CPA: I think phase distortion on Darrel's sigs both paths and louder periods at times, sry didn't catch anyone else.
- De N9EE: I was operating from Brooksville, Florida at Aid Stn #3 for the Gran Fondo Bike Ride. I was on 2m thru our club repeater on 146.715. I setup my X6100 10W and 20m End Fed Antenna with my portable flag pole tied to a stop sign at the intersection of our post.
- De FR4PU: On 20 meters was not so exciting. Received SSN call signals from Darrel at 3:00Z, attempted EM at 3:05Z and 3:18Z, but no response.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Very deep, slow QSB on all stations.  Alex almost disappeared at one point, then came up to 589. There was occasional QRM from a neighboring pileup.  If conditions had been just slightly better it would have made a big difference.
- De FR4PU: Very happy to have been able to make a QSO with Darrel on 18.088 at 16:05Z. RST 549 with QRM. I would not despair of being able to be with you one of these Sundays, well that was yesterday. Good jobQTH equipment: Rig: Yaesu FT450D, ANT: inverted V type ARIAL 51 – 404 UL at 10 meters high, power 100w and my fidel Kent cootie.

20 m: 1500 - 1517 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Awful conditions on 20m today.  Very disappointing, but 17m much better. Ap index was up to 13, which is never good (although we've had worse.).
- De F5LAW: No echo on 20m but awful again. Another weak station in background, no copy. Don't know if a QSO in progress or a station calling the net.
- De FR4PU: Reception of the call from AA7FV (Darrel) RST 549 with QRN and local QRM – I heard the transmission of AA7FV which would have been in QSO with F5LA or F5DA?? At 3:03 p.m. then nothing between 3:03 p.m. and 3:06 p.m. 3:07 p.m. EM attempt with testing – 3:07 p.m. AA7FV RPT 229 – 3:10 p.m. Unusable signal with more QRN. 15h12Z QRT FR4PU.
- De G4CPA: Condx not good! I could only just detect Darrel AA7FV.

- De G4CPA: Much better on 17m but I couldn't stay too long.

20 m: 1500 - 1529 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: There was another, weak station calling, but I didn't get the call. It may have had a "4" in call, so perhaps was Jean, FR4PU?.
- De FR4PU: 15:04Z attempted transmission “AA7FV from FR4PU KN” - No response. 15:27Z another attempt to transmit – I think I hear an answer but I can't confirm if it was for me because signals are unusable. All I can say is that it was a long transmission.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14054.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 14054.5 kHz  (A small pileup of some kind was already on 14055.0 .) WB8SIW/M, Jim was /M on the Interstate 80 in Indiana, using a Vibroplex bug. Two other weak stations were calling, but I couldn't get either call.  My apologies. Conditions were not good on 20m this morning.  Most stations couldn't hear each other.
- De KN6BAZ: Conditions are better today. Darrel been 599 very loud and solid all time. Previous several sessions I had no copy on any station, and WebSDR showed very weak signals.
- De F5LAW: Disaster today on 20m, QRK 2 at best on NCS due to an extremely strong echo. I replied but was unheard.
- De G4CPA: Hrd nothing worth mentioning, I tried both 20 and 17 mtrs, the condx were not favourable.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Things were getting busy on 17m, where conditions were very good, especially to EU.  After QNF there were several EU stations calling.
- De N9EE: I heard only Darrel and N1EA. Could hear some for a few seconds at a time due to QSB. I normally can hear TJ, but not this Sunday.
- De WX7V: I tried to join the 17M net but couldn't hear anything - even Darrel who's signal is usually very reliable from AZ to TX was quiet for me. Glad you all had fun! I'll be on next Sunday.

20 m: 1500 - 1524 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions in this morning's SSN were very disappointing.  It turns out that the CME on its way from the sun arrived at the Earth earlier than expected. Here's a plot of the Kp index for the last few days from Potsdam. The geomagnetic storm started building up just before our SSN this morning, with the Kp geomagnetic index increasing from less than 2 yesterday up to Kp=8 just after our net.
- De N2ZUT: good to be back. Darrel, you were the only SSN operator I heard and you were a solid 559 even with QSB.
- De N1EA: This explains much: The coronal mass ejection from the M1.7 solar flare that took place two days ago has arrived at the DSCOVR satellite. We admit... this coronal mass ejection arrived earlier than we expected!
- De FR4PU: Unusable SSN frequencies – QRN – QRM.
- De NP3CW: Nothing heard in 14.055 and 21.055 kHz today heavy QRN with S6 noise.

20 m: 1500 - 1527 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Geomagnetic A index was 30, so perhaps we were lucky to have a net at all!

Notes:
- De DL2KHU: today I could only use my 7 m monopole. The black tits are feeding her chicks at my balcony. So I will not mount the fishing-pole for the vertical dipole. But the short monopole (7 m wire from the balcony railing to the next tree) works better than expected with the 25 wtts. Sigs were rising at the end of the session. I enjoyed the session in spite of the poor conds.
- De W1BLU: NO ONE! I checked the beacons for: 10M; 12M; 15M; 17M & 20M. Only heard the NY beacon on 20M & Venezuela on 17M… both barely! Apparently my latitude (SFL) didn’t help anything. I’m aware we’re experiencing a (G1) solar storm with a Kp of 5 so I’m sure that’s part of my propagation problem. I’m glad I did my POTA park Friday.
- De N9EE: I was ready to check into the 17m net after the 20m net, but got called away to do a chore on my home. Got back to the station around 1625 and net was QNF.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: The 17m net frequency had been clear for at least 10 minutes before our net, and I sent several unanswered "QRL" before calling the net .  Nevertheless, about 10 minutes into our net a DX pileup started exactly on frequency.  Maybe it came up because of changing band conditions.  I closed the net early as the QRM had made it unworkable. [From dxwatch spots, the pileup station was first reported on 18088 kHz at 1608 UTC.]
- De DL2KHU: Today only a listener rprt from Cologne. Tried QNI but poor conds. Could only cpi Darrel AA7FV with rst 439 QSB. Other stations nil.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: No other stations heard, but had a great chat with Alex. After the net I was called by Keith W0BAV (579), but he was QRP from central Tucson.  I'm NE Tucson.  Real DX!
- De KN6BAZ: I heard a lot of stations today in a contest and thought conditions were pretty good. Despite Darrel's multiple calls we were the only two stations in today's 20M SSN net. We had a great chat! After the net, I copied W0B0V with pretty strong signal. I couldn't listen to all exchanges, and from Darrel's report learned Keith worked QRP. The signal strength been comparable to Darrel's, though Darrel been QRO kW level. Great job Keith!

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055.14 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Today was Field Day, so lots of QRM.  I checked the 14349 frequency, but that was occupied with SSB, so I tried to squeeze in just above 14055. No other SSN stations heard on 20m.  Thanks, Med for the sdr report via the Utah sdr. I see that the Ap geomagnetic index was up to 16 this morning, which is not good. There had been class C8.5 X-ray event which finished at 12:30 UTC today, but I don't know if that was responsible for today's poor propagation.
- De KN6BAZ: Barely found Darrel's call in the sea of FD QSOs. Darrel's signal been weak, which was unusual. He called multiple times, but there was no reply. Just a hint, I always use RBN to locate and tune to NCS call. Been working really great for congested situations like today.

- De W1BLU: I was using a 17’ dipole and was QRO.
- De KN6BAZ: Darrel's signal QSY a bit on 17m NET probably trying to void QRM, and Dipole setup on 17m works better in my (West) direction: [559].

20 m: 1500 - 1510 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Great to QSO Yann, but awful conditions on 20m.  The usual QSB and QRN, but the combination of contest QRM and DX pileups was just too much.  There was SSB QRM on our alternate frequency of 14.349 MHz. Overall the worst QRM situation I can remember for the SSN. Closed the 20m net early because of the poor conditions.
- De G4CPA: Nothing heard.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I believe I was called by another station too, but sorry, didn't get the call.
- De W1BLU: Conditions seemed Good. No QRM as experienced previous weeks, (OTHR?). Light QSB & QRN. It seemed as though it was going to be a good net. I’m on a Homebrew 17M dipole at 17 feet using an Icom IC-7300 at 100W and was using a Cootie. After me, F5LAW was up. Nothing heard… from either. What did come booming in was the thunder. It snuck up on me. No doubt the downpour affected my reception. I quickly went QRT.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I thought I heard F5LAW at  one point, but I was confused by QRM from several other stations calling at once. After the net worked KF0LRQ, Ron in MO, but not part of SSN.
- De N9EE: Good net on 20m. I copy AA7FV 599 best for a while. But no copy others here in Florida. Darrel hears very well 2000 miles farther from Europe than me.
- De KN6BAZ: QTH: AREA EAST OF BIG SUR STATE PARK, MONTEREY COUNTY, CA, GRID "CM96gf".
- De F5LAW: QRM 5 from local electric noise. Heard AA7FV peaking 589 but I didn't call and gave up after a few seconds. I didn't try 17m.
- De FR4PU: As usual I heard very weak signals on 14.055 and 18.088 MHz, but I know that the time slot of our weekly radio contacts is not the most favorable for me. But I always enjoy join you...even just by thinking as the spread and the terms and conditions allow me no other things.

- De W1BLU: Conditions seemed Good. Initially no QRM as experienced previous weeks, (OTHR?). Light QSB & QRN. Then 1611 UTC: QRM.

20 m: 1500 - 1522 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: There may have been a weak signal calling, but if so only at RST 019.  Sorry I couldn't copy anything.
- De F5LAW: QRM 5 from a 4X station calling CQ on QRG. He was there before net started and couldn't hear AA7FV and vice versa. I could briefly hear Darrel between the 4X's CQs and QSOs. Thought I'd say a short hello before QNF.
- De N9EE: I was late for 20m net, 1520, heard nothing.

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Just before the net I worked Tony kj5xf, who was taking part in WES, but who kindly let me take over the frequency for the SSN. ??N9PA?? There were 2 stations calling on top of each other, both about S5, and at least one of whom had a very strong echo.  Unfortunately, because of the echo plus the doubling I couldn't copy either call.  The "N9PA" I wrote down is a garbled mix of both calls.  From the extreme echo, I guess that at least one of the stations may have been beyond Europe.  Edy? My apologies for not getting either call.  Better luck next time.
- De FR4PU: Unavailable.

Notes:

- De KT5LA: I tossed my call out on 18.088, but AA7FV was only about 33 here. I heard you acknowledge a “5LA”, but wasn’t sure. Later, I heard the “W” on your list call, and deduced who that might be. Couldn't hear anything else so abandoned the net for breakfast.

- De W1BLU: AA7FV Darrel was the only station I heard at 339 & had an echo. 10 minutes later 229 fading to nothing. No 17m beacon was heard at my QTH. I’ll be grateful when the earth starts giving the southern hemisphere these conditions instead of us.

20 m: 1500 - 1531 UTC, 14054.7 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Lots of CW contest QRM today, and our alternate frequency 140349 was also occupied. From the GOES X-ray flux, there was an M-class solar flare at about 14:30 UTC, just in time for our SSN. Geomagnetic Field:  Major Storm. I'm guessing that this major geomagnetic storm in progress was mainly responsible for the strong flutter on transatlantic signals that we observed in the net this morning. Net conditions could have been much worse this morning.
- De G4CPA: All hell broke loose when contest, trampled all over us hi!
- De KA5TJS: I checked on 14.055 and 14.349 and only heard KP4Q and we talked until 15:00 and dropped out for the net. Never heard a thing. 20 was covered up with SS test. Hope for better luck next week.

Note: A great, big geomagnetic storm on Sunday disrupted the second day of ARRL CW Sweepstakes. Planetary A index for the day was 57, and the highest 3-hour planetary K index readings were 6, 6, 7 and 6.33 from 1200-2100 UTC. This was triggered by a coronal mass ejection (CME).

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: At least one other station had called me, but too weak for me to get a call.  Sorry.
- De F5LAW: Unavailable.

Notes:

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: nominally 14055.0, kHz but moved slightly off because of contest QRM.  (Our alternative of 14349 was also occupied.) One other station tried to call in, but sadly was too weak to get the call.  Apologies.  Heavy contest QRM on 20m today.  Thanks, Glenn and Allen for braving the QRM and calling in.

20 m: 1500 - 1533 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: A relatively high (S4) noise level at AA7FV on 20m.  It's usually only about S1.
- De KN6BAZ: Darrel booming on 20M but no copy for other stations.
- De F5LAW: Didn't try to QNI, huge echo, QRK 1.
- De FR4PU: I wanted to try a cage antenna used by the RAF during the Second World War sized for 14 and 18 MHz, but it was disastrous. Nothing of nothing.

20 m: 1500 - 1535 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: There was at least one other weak station calling, but sorry, I couldn't get the call. Jean - FR4PU, I'm very sorry I didn't copy you this time.  On both 20m and 17m I did hear another weak station calling, but partly because of QRM I didn't copy the call on either band.  If it was you I heard, it would have been about RST 239.
- De FR4PU: I received AA7FV's signals within the first seconds of the intended contact on 14 and 18 MHZ. Good game. Perseverance pays off in the end. I worked with my asymmetrical inverted V antenna, the tip of which I set at 14 meters and adjusted the angle (apex) between the two strands to 120°. Next Sunday I will try my 8.25 meter otura3 vertical. If that doesn't work out, I'll always have my trusty inverted V.

17 m: 1600 - 1634 UTC, 18088 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 1540 UTC: I heard G4CPA calling CQ at RST 549.  Good copy then, but by net time signals had faded down. 1555 UTC G0BIN was calling CQ on net frequency (RST 569), but he kindly agreed to QSY and he didn't stay for the net. 1600 UTC called CQ SSN.
- De KT5LA: I tried checking in to the 18088Mhz net, but conditions were very poor here; I could barely hear AA7FV. Sent my call twice to no avail. I don't press calling in too hard on the weekend nets, as F5LAW and KT5LA share a few characters and I don't want to step on "the DX".

20 m: 1500 - 1532 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: I had started to call on 14055.0 kHz, but then realized there was already a weak QSO in progress on that frequency that I'd not heard before, and which hadn't responded to my "QRL?"  So, I shifted to 14054.5 kHz and we started the net.  Then, QRM came up on that frequency, but the original 14055.0 had become free, so we shifted back to that original frequency.  Thanks everyone for keeping up with the repeated QSY.
- De KN6BAZ: QTH: EAST OF BIG SUR STATE PARK, MONTEREY COUNTY, CA, GRID "CM96gf". Darrel's sig started low gradually returning to the usual 599+10..20 level on 20m. 17m SSN NET deep QSB for almost all stations.
- De NP3CW: Came in late.

Notes:

From N0NBH predictions (via QRZ.com), geomagnetic A index 14, with  "20m Poor" and "17m Fair" propagation, and "Geomag  Field: Min Storm".

20 m: 1500 - 1530 UTC, 14055 kHz.

Notes:
- De F5LAW: Our NCS, Darrel - AA7FV, was unavailable, I took NCS. Very disappointing conditions and very sorry I didn't hear Jean - FR4PU. Thanks to TJ - K9TJL for the great help on both bands. Merry Xmas to you and yours fellows.
- De AA7FV: Thanks, TJ.  Your K3FEF websdr was much more useful than the Utah sdr I was listening on.  The biggest difference was on Yann on 20m. With your recording it was essentially perfect copy, while via Utah Yann was essentially unreadable because of the strong echo. Thanks, and all the best for Christmas.

Notes:

- De WA7SPY: I could barely hear F5LAW. Yann was un- readable here in Not Cal. I was able only to copy K9TJL 559. I tried to check in and gave my call one time because I wasn’t sure if I was stepping on someone?
- De FR4PU: 15:45Z. : nothing, quite a bit of local interference, then at 15:51Z. series of tests vvvv vvvv followed by F5LAW de FR4PU = hw? pse KN. Again this test until 15:58Z.: But nothing. QRT QRU AR FR4PU at 15:59:45Z. I wish you all and your families a Merry Christmas.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Conditions to Europe on 20m were very poor indeed today. IT9HEL(?)  249.
- De G4CPA: Condx hopeless on 20m. Heard Darrel very weak, no-one else.
- De FR4PU: Tonight I won't be on the air. I wish you all a happy new year. Health and prosperity. See you soon, 73 from FR4PU.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Just after QNF: DL7USD  Sergej from Berlin.  Good to hear you again. 17m was in excellent condition, certainly compared to 20m. Many thanks everyone for another great net, an excellent ending to 2023.  I look forward to our nets in 2024.  A very Happy New Year to everyone.
- De F5LAW: As usual, 17m much better than 20m. A Happy and Healthy Year 2024 to you and yours friends.
- De WX7V: Condx at the lake were FB on 17M with the HexBeam up at 35 Feet, beaming towards EU. 73 all HNY es Gud DX! Chris de WX7V.
- De G4CPA: 17m a bit better, managed to work Darrel. I cpd Med at 559 on 17m couldn't attract his attention! Thanks to Yann for attempting QSP ! So HNY to everyone 73s. Things can only get better in 2024, I hope hi ! Big tnx to TJ fer recordings, es to Darrel fer great NCS, to My Mate Yann for QSP's.
