Net Archives 2017.
Region 3 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.

40 m: 0800 - 0830 UTC, 7052 kHz.
Notes:
- De VK5EEE: We had a great first half of the first net -- I arrived late, and found 3 stations, it was great to have Darrel AA7FV with us too! SSN lasted 30 minutes and we will take part two on 14349 shortly at 0900Z.
- De AA7FV: I did take a brief listen at 0900 UTC on 14349 kHz, but nothing heard. Great fun!
- CN8YR and 5T0JL reported NIL heard.

20 m: 0900 - 0921 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De VK5EEE: Just finished SSN #1 part 2 for Region 3 and a resounding success, I feel confident this net will continue! What a big surprise!!! VK7 is normally a bit too close for 20m, but Steve was booming in over S9 here!
- De VK7CW: I joined the net late at 0912 UTC on 14349 kHz. It is wonderful to have a Region 3 SSN trial and I do hope it continues.
- De VK2JDR: I tuned in for 20m however sigs were down in the noise with plenty of deep QSB so I did not call in.

20 m: 0900 - 0940 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De VK5EEE: 0800Z 7053/7052.5kHz NIL - no one showed up -- lots of QRM on nearby frequencies from RTTY contest. 0900Z 14349kHz - By the time Steve JS6TMW joined at 0929Z, David VK2JDR and Steve VK7CW had finished, I guess they would have both heard him otherwise, if condx are similar next week I'd hand net control to Steve in Okinawa as I could often not hear David VK2JDR and there was no path at all to Steve VK7CW from here.
- De VK2JDR: I was ready to call in on 7.052 and your RST when you were announcing the net was 579 amongst the RTTY QRM.
- De VK7CW: Unfortunately signals not as good as last week. I hope conditions better next week.
- DU7DVE Chuck was QSX on frequency, he listened on dipole and could hear only Steve JS6TMW with good signal.

40 m: 0800 - 0824 UTC, 7052 kHz.
Notes:
- De VK5EEE: Called CQ SSN for 14 minutes, another no-show net was prevented by the arrival of Doc VK5BUG!It was nice of you to come onto the net for our first proper QSO so that was an honour!
- De VK5BUG: Tnx for agitating the 40m electrons this evening, Lou, & it was good to catch up with you in making my first SSN net contact, even though I have been a member for a few years now. (...) I'll get some more done to the station enhancements later.

Notes:
- De VK5EEE: Fantastic 3rd week of SSN-3 and our biggest yet: 10 stations in Part 2 of the SSN! Thanks to all for your wonderful participation and I hope we can do this again often for a great many years into the future!
- De VK7CW: NCS Lou - barely audible and unworkable (relay via JL1MUT). G4FAD Rich - solid copy on short path. Unfortunately I was not hearing the local VK stations but all other signals were good into VK7. Look forward to next week.
- De VK2JDR: Was surrounded by electrical storms and bad QRN. Using Ukraine mini straight key. Received my nr 6 via JL1MUT relay.
- De G4FAD: Thank you for the warm welcome it was really nice to be able to work you all for the first time. I was beaming long path today. There were other stations heard but no solid copy this time sorry.

40 m: 0800 - 0846 UTC, 7033 kHz.
Notes:
- De VK5EEE: There was again a lot of RTTY on 7052 and all around... We then QSY'd to 7033 and the frequency was clean. So in future the net should be held on the SSN frequency of 7033 kHz.
- De 5T0JL: NIL heard on 7052 kHz.

20 m: 0900 - 1000 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De VK5EEE: At the start of net after all check-ins, I handed the QNN (Net Control) to JL1MUT because he was in the best position again. Yo San did a fantastic job, he is a great net controller, thanks Yo San. I hope that you can make it every week, because you make it easy for us: the VK stations could not hear each other this time (again).

- De VK7CW: Nice signals this evening except to VK as per usual. Thanks to Yo for great job as NCS. Looking forward to next week.
- De VK2JDR: Couldn't make the net tonight. Next time.

Notes:
- De VK5EEE: 0800Z-0810Z 7033kHz: Nil. We will drop this Net for now. I'm hoping someone else can do NCS for 40m net.
20m: Yo San did net control again this week. Next week I will do QNN and Yo San will again QNN on 26th March. Conditions were: Good -- while the ionisation of the F layer was still strong enough but quickly wore off as the sunlight had stopped ionising our precious F layer(s).
- De 5T0JL: I was listening 14349 in 5T from 0855Z to 0930Z... attempting a few calls too... nil sigs hrd.
- VK7CW and VK4QC were QRL today.

Sunday, March 19, 2017.
40m session cancelled, 20m session:
- De VK5EEE/M: Sorry, we were both indisposed. I was QRV /m but that's useless without a distant QNN, for VK at this time, we are all too close. (...) From my car and short whip antenna, I called but no success and the city noise level was really a bit high so if anyone was there, I heard nothing but noise.
- De VK7CW: Not sure if it was conditions or the fact that no one else participated, but nil heard on 14349 +/-. Calls put out at 0909 UTC and 0911 UTC with nil replies. Remained listening until 0930 UTC and still nil heard and decided to QSY.
- De VK2JDR: I was listening from 09:00 nothing heard, sent a few CQ.

20 m: 0900 - 1030 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De JL1MUT: We started the net on 14349.0kHz as usual but needed to QSY to 14055.0kHz because of heavy QRMs in VK Land. NCS JL1MUT had been holding the antenna heading to VK Land, South. We still keep the long path propagation to West Africa around this time.
- De VK5EEE: Just after starting the net, a huge QRM came wide band (at least 40kHz wide) seemed like FM mode and confirmed by VK4TJ John to be FM, was broadcasting with high power and S9+10dB making huge QRM across VK but not in JA which means it was close by, main suspect is China. QSY to 14055kHz at 0918Z.
- De G4FAD: I had a look at QRG at 0900 and could hear good CW signals but there is a phone contest on and that was just drowning out all semblance of any copy sorry chaps maybe next week.

VK5EEE, Lou San was too weak today. The band condx may not be better. The sunset time in my area was at 0940 UTC today.

Heard DU7DVE calling during QSO with VK5EEE/M, called him after QSO, no reply. VK5EEE/M QRV till end at 0955Z but hard to hold.
- De VK2JDR: I set up a delta loop for tonight's SSN hoping it would help with DX. Unfortunately not to be. I could barely hear JL1MUT and VK5EEE. When I heard a break, I sent my callsign a few times however it went unheard.
- De VK5EEE: I thought it was my imagination but indeed I heard a signal RST 119 but don't know who it was, Chuck, Richard (unlikely) or David. From the car Yo san was solid 549, pleased to say my QTH seems to be below average for local noise levels. Once I started driving there were various noises and weak spots however I could still maintain QSO with Yo san.
- De G4FAD: I put out a few calls but nothing heard at all this week condx are not good at all.

No net:
No checked-in signals were heard though I continued to call CQ SSN from 0859 - 0920 UTC. The band condition may not be bad. I heard IBP beacon of ZL6B, VK6RBP and VR2B on 14100 kHz with around RST 569. Some may be busy for WW WPX CW Contest. I spent the time mostly for the contest in this weekend, too. HI Hopefully I will find checked-in signals next Sunday. All best wishes es 73's.

20 m: 0859 - 0928 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De JL1MUT: 0859Z: started CQ SSN. 0911Z: VK7CW QNI, checked out at 0918Z, RST 229. Normally his signals are solid, RST 579 - 599. So the band condition must be poor today. However, ZL6B and VK6RBP, IBP beacons were around RST 569 before the net. I continued to call CQ SSN until 0928utc but no check-in signals were heard.
- De VK7CW: Thanks to Yo San for persevering in very poor condx and it was nice to have a short QSO even in these poor condx.
- De VK2JDR: I could barely hear some station in the noise. Sent my call a few times, not heard.
- De AA7FV: I listened on frequency at 09:00 UTC (2 am in Arizona). I also put out a few CQ SSN calls. Nothing heard, not even any weak carriers.

- De VK7CW: 0900 UTC 20m 14.349 very light and barely audible CW occasionally heard on Hex Beam on SP JA (north). As the signals were unworkable I did not call in case I disrupted any net that was running.

- De VK7CW: 0910Z, 14349 kHz: I could hear JL1MUT Yo San calling CQ SSN at 229-119 with heavy QSB. I answered several times but he could not make out my callsign. Nil other stations were heard. Once again conditions on 20m were very poor. 30m again much better than 20m with Yo San constant 579. Nil other stations checked in or were heard despite Yo San and I calling CQ SSN several times.

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: We were very busy on 30m especially because 5 stations checked-in. I have never seen so many stations checked-in for a while.
- De VK5BUG: I fired up the station on 10121.5 @ 0900 UTC & ran my calltape until I heard Lou tuning up just after 0930. Two reasons for doing that: to act as a beacon & also to occupy the frequency.
- De VK7CW: As I could not hear any of the other check ins, once I exchanged RST with Yo San I checked out of the net at 0945 UTC.

20 m: 0900 - 0927 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Lou San tried a sloping dipole. We try to compare the doublet with sloping dipole. I didn't find the difference on both. It was very hard to make an accurate report because of QSB.
- De VK5EEE: Antenna #1 was doublet 2 X 7.5m at 10m high on ends (NE and SW) and 8m in the middle. This is broadside for Europe and not perfect for JA.
Antenna #2 was doublet 2 X 6m at 10m high on West end and 4m high on East end, so broadside to JA but sloping to East.
Yo san had the loudest signals I have heard from outside VK on 20m and 30m since I have had up these antennas and done a fair amount of listening. Congrats OM Yo San on FB station!

- De VK7CW: 30m conditions not so good and my signal was 549 with Yo San initially but then went down to 439 and then 229 towards the end of the net. Yo San signal was also fading at the end. Nil inter VK on 30m, but earlier today I had great QSO with VK5EEE Lou on 30m where we were both QRP.

- NB: It is with great sadness that we announce that our good friend Jean Lewuillon - 5T0JL (also ON8RA) passed away at age 88 on August 8, 2017. Jean will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy to Jean's family and friends.
Obituary notice, condolences, Obituary on UBA website (F), Obituary on UBA website (NL).
- De JL1MUT: We were sad that 5T0JL/ON8RA, Great OT Jean J. Lewuillon is SK at the beginning of the net. The Region 3 SSN was going to expecting to hear his keying again this autumn on long path propagation. We will never hear his keying.
- De VK5EEE: Tonight we remembered our special friend OT Jean ON8RA-5T0JL in the net. We were sad that we will not hear his key again.

0900 - 0911 UTC 14349 kHz; 0912 - 0917 UTC 10121.5 kHz ; 0918 - 0921 UTC 14349 kHz; 0922 UTC - 10121.5 kHz.
7J1ATG/2, op VK4BGR, QNI 0935Z. QTH Izu which is not far from my QTH, Southern part of Tokyo area. I guess that the distance is below 100km. It may be too close to communicate on 30m. I lost him soon.
VK5EEE QNI 0949Z. I asked VK5EEE to call 7J1ATG/2 but we didn't find his call back. The band condx to VK5EEE was poor and SSB QRM was heard sometimes. It was very hard to keep VK5EEE at the end of the net.

0911 - 0921 UTC, 10121.5 kHz: CQ SSN, QSO JM1KFD.

1030 UTC, 1812 kHz: Noise level very high, 1035 UTC QSO DU7ET, 2x569 reports. VK7CW NIL.
- De VK7CW:
0910 UTC, 14349 kHz: A quick listen and nil station heard. So I called CQ SSN for 5 minutes with nil reply, so I QSY to 30m.
0915 UTC, 10121.5 kHz: I heard JL1MUT in QSO with another unknown JA station. RST 319 and heavy QSB/SSB QRM. Then Yo San called CQ SSN. I answered but nil reply. 30m conditions very poor.
0928 UTC, 14349 kHz: Yo San and I had very nice QSO and chat with occasional CQ SSN by both of us with nil heard. We must have missed each other on 20m at 0910 UTC by mere seconds!
1030 UTC, 1812 kHz: Very poor conditions, heard Yo San's calls but only peaking 219 with heavy QSB. I also heard Bob, DU7ET but he was also very weak and he is usually a lot stronger on 160m.

- De VK7CW: On 30m I initially had JL1MUT at 559 but then heard nothing except weak CW that I could not copy. Then Yo San came back to me but was only 449 and fading with QSB. He informed me that VK5EEE and VK5BUG were on the net. I presume they were the weak CW I was hearing. I then informed Yo San that I was checking out of the net due to very poor conditions.

30 m: 0910 - 0952 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.
Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Unavailable for 20m, Yagi on ground, typhoon close to my area. Late QNI (0936Z) on 30m due to QSO with VK3IM.
- De VK7CW: I called CQ SSN for 10 minutes on 20m with nil replies. At 0910utc I QSY'd to 10121.5. I called CQ SSN on 30m and worked the following (non SSN) stations: 0913Z F5UQE; 0922Z S57V; 0926Z KC4HCH. Then, 0930Z VK5EEE; 0936Z JL1MUT... A very enjoyable SSN on 30m. It sure was a nice change to hear Lou and be able to work everyone on the net. First time in ages!
- De VK5EEE: My report for Steve San VK7CW on both frequencies was 599, at one stage he was 599+25dB -- we had great path today!

Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Steve San has a fan dipole for 160, 80, 40 and 30m. We checked his fan dipole on 30m. The noise level seemed to be improved on his side when using the fan dipole though the signal strength was down over here. Both his antennas were sending solid signals to here.
- De VK7CW: I conducted a test between my GP and fan inverted vee dipole with Yo San. On the GP Yo San gave me RST 579. On the Inverted vee Yo San gave RST 549. He was RST 579 on both ant but inverted vee much quieter. So tonight the GP was much better on TX.

Very good fun with QRP, the receiver is better as it has nice narrow 200 Hz filter. It is full QSK and has many features, see: QCX by QRP Labs kits. The frequency 10149 was very nice, even with wide filter on big rig, no QRM.

20 m: 0858 - 0919 UTC, 14349 kHz.
Notes:
- De JL1MUT: Normally VK7CW, Steve San is solid on both bands but was weak today. So the band conditions were really poor. And I didn't hear OS0S. I did QSO with ZL station using 400w + Windom antenna at RST 579 around 0700 UTC on 20m. I think the band condition seemed to go down afterwards.
- De VK7CW: Signal reports between Yo San and me varied on both bands from 339, 449 and 559 at various times.

The band condition was not good to Tony San but I managed to copy him at RST 449. I think there was no propagation between Tony San and Lou San. Tony San checked out at 1001 UTC. VK4BGR/7J1ATG, George San planned to join the net tonight according to Lou San. But we didn't hear his signals. I hope to hear him next week.
