40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Welcome to Rob, KN4IXU. Good signal last night from NC. I heard Bill WA4FAT one time very light and asked for a QSP but no takers.

- De KA5TJS: Steve came up to copiable on the second round.
- De NI4E: W1SFR - reported NIL on net, but came up to about 529 at net’s end...
- De W1SFR: Man, still a struggle on 40, and 80 is worse. I'm going to suck it up and tweak my antenna system this next season. Maybe an 80M loop? I have the room and 100' Maple trees to hang it from.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: KO1E/M Dave QRP. Thanks for checking in, Dave!

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Another great net.  QRN was a bit high, but great copy in Arizona on all stations.
- De WA4FAT: The WebSDR from Utah was a real lifesaver for me this evening with amazing signals from all stations. (Oh to have a giant log periodic!)
- De W1SFR: Best sigs on 40 I've heard in a long time. QSB still there, but Darrel and Bill booming in here.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Strong QRM on 40m for most of the net, from a QSO in progress. I shifted QRG up a little to try to avoid causing QRM. Because of the QRM I missed Steve putting it over to me at one point. Apart from the QRM, 40m was better on all stations tonight.

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Pretty good signals tonight on 40 for sure with some deep qsb but good copy on all. Days are getting longer so we will see how this progresses into the summer.
- De WA4FAT: Another great SSN with Allen professionally at the helm. The time change didn't seem to make much difference with all signals Q5.
- De K6GVG: From southern California: 40 m did improve with all signals eventually Q5.
- De W1SFR: So many QRN storm crashes I couldn't copy anybody even though signal levels were fine with an average 56. If it ain't one thing it's another ! ;-) AARL is putting the big sell into advertising Solar Cycle 25. Let's hope their marketing program bears fruit.

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Band was still too short for CA. an hour earlier. Thanks Darrel for the QSP on Roy.
- De WA4FAT: K6GVG Nil Must have been a bit early for the west coast.
- De K6GVG: Unfortunately, 80 m was still very short. Could only hear Darrell, who, as usual, was 59+10/15. And Darrell, thanks again for the 80-m QSP. Using Hustler mobile antennas on a condo balcony railing is always a challenge.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Bill, WA4FAT had warned us he might not be able to make tonight because of the weather. Steve had worked Bill just before the net, and told us that Bill had had to take down his antenna.
- De KA5TJS: Very glad Bill made it thru the storms with no damage. A tough one in Bama yesterday.
- De WA4FAT: Unavailable: Severe weather may prevent me from making the Net tonight.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0055 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Decided not to QSY to 30m due to poor condx. A light turnout tonight but a stellar crew of check ins!
- De WA4FAT: Rather decent signals tonight on 40, despite the QRM late in the Net. A joy to be able to copy everyone without so much effort. I especially enjoyed hanging on 40 with no QSY tonight. It made for a far more relaxed session - great idea, Steve.
- De AA7FV: We did not QSY tonight, so had more time for chatting. One of the best sideswiper nets I can remember. Everybody could hear everyone else, and we weren't so rushed for the QSY. Terrific NCS job from Steve.
- De KA5TJS: Some deep QSB tonight but good copy on most all. Good crew tonight and thanks for the QNN Steve.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 2355 UTC, W7I was on 7044 kHz calling CQ and working stations, celebrating the 73rd Independence Day for Israel. I called him, and he kindly agreed to move away from the frequency so that we could take it over for our net. Thank you very much to W7I.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: After the net QNF I was called by Paul KE8NUM in MI (599/599), who was using a straight key and wanted an SKCC number.
- De NI4E: Everyone was sounding very good on this eve. Nice to hear everyone!
- De W1SFR: Some storm QRM here in the wake of some snow from a Nor'Easter. All sigs gud copy. Roy was down in the QRN but if we worked at it, we could have completed a QSO. More a QSB problem than a signal issue. What else is new eh?
- De WA4FAT: Unable to make the 30 Meter session due to 4th Grade homework :-).

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De K6GVG: Thanks all for the QSP’s – I always need them using a mobile antenna! And Darrel, of course, was 59+ on 40, but nada on 30; band way too long. Alas, my less than exotic receiving system just barely picked up a few weak signals here and there, but Bill, WA4FAT, always manages to get through nicely.
- De KT5LA: Sorry, could not hear W1SFR tonight, but AA7FV was booming in 599, and I think I was doing as well there. I could hear WA4FAT towards the end of the net. And K6GVG was just under the noise here. Nice to join you after a bit of absence. My work schedule is changing and I hope to check in more regularly.
- De WA4FAT: Dreadful noise as we have an approaching cluster of storms. Nevertheless, an excellent Net as always - thanks for your usual great job, Steve! And please join us again soon Jay!

Notes:

- De AA7FV: The ionosphere still amazes me: Roy was 599 on 7 MHz but undetectable on 10 MHz.

- De WA4FAT: I have a dreadful noise level issue on 30, may be a local problem. Copy was marginal to start but deteriorated at the end.
- De AA7FV: On 30m signals were mostly weaker tonight, apart from 599 for Bill.
- De W1SFR: I heard Allen, Bill and Roy but no answer to my calls. Kinda weird since 30m has usually been better for me. Ah...the mysteries of propagation!

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Wow, 9 last night. That takes up 30 minutes for sure. I did not hang for the 30 meter session last night. I did not turn the AC on before the net so it was 92 deg. in the shack when we started, Darn its hot.

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Bill also tried a call and got NIL. Worst conditions in a while for sure.
- De K6GVG: Yes, ugly propagation conditions indeed! I had a fairly low noise level, but all signals were in it! Did hear Bill, WA4FAT, toward the end of the 40 m session, though about 219 at best. Boy, I miss Darrel, AA7FV, for his QSP’s – which I truly need, for I am limited to only to a quasi-stealth, Hustler mobile antenna on a condo balcony, and facing west no less!
- De AA7FV: Sorry I missed the net last night, Roy. I had a Zoom meeting that clashed with the net times, and which went on longer than I'd hoped. Clearly conditions last night were truly awful.
- De W1SFR: Heavy QRN QSB here. No cpy on Allen.

Thursday, July 1, 2021.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0024 UTC, 7044.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Sheesh....started the month off with a whimper tonight. I was surprised a contest was going on. A PR station was sitting on 7044 and wasn't budging. Tried 7046 for a bit and no takers. Dropped down to 7044.5 and heard Bill and TJ, but just barely...both a shaky 339. We made a go of it, but QRM, QSB and QRN all nasty. Bill was able to QSP to TJ for me but sigs not good enough to continue.
- De WA4FAT: Just when you thought conditions couldn't get any worse ... sigh. Significant QRM from a 13 Colony Station almost on top of us. Steve moved up frequency a tad to avoid the mayhem and I was lucky to find him - good job! The 40 M session was adjourned early and we tried 30.
- De AA7FV: Nothing heard of NCS W1SFR.
- De KT5LA: Well, I've started cheating...in a good way. After reading a May 2021 article in QST about software called CATSync, I've stated using SDRs as my receivers for HF. I've mostly been using the KFS SDR in Half Moon Bay, CA. CATSync allows me to use my FT-991 to tune and select mode of the SDR. It's very easy to use and this great receive site has really enhanced my enjoyment of HF here in my very noisy So. CA. location. (...) All transmiting, of course, is done from my home QTH, on an 84' long wire. So take my 599 reports for AA7FV and K6GVG with that caveat. Both great signals, though I joined the net late at 00:15.
- De KA5TJS: Unavailable.

30 m: Friday, 0024 - 0055 UTC, 10121.5 kHz.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: All in all, the worst condx for me as NCS to date. Life in the big city eh?
- De WA4FAT: Steve tried valiantly to hear any other check-ins, but nothing was heard ... until after the net (!). The 30 M session was mercifully ended at about 0035Z. I tried the Northern Utah Web SDR on 40 (where it was no help) and had tuned it to 30M where it also provided no help for Steve ... but moments after QNF, I heard activity loud and clear from the web SDR -- AA7FV and K6GVG, both S9. They were about 559 over the air and I was able to chat with both and learned that Darrel conducted a 'western SSN' on 40, not hearing Steve ... so we had dual sessions of the SSN tonight on both 40 and 30. Now that's the old American spirit if ever there were such a thing! I wonder if this has occurred previously?
- De AA7FV: As Bill explains, we evidently had two parallel nets tonight, East and West, with nothing heard between the nets. QRN was very high in AZ on both bands, but the good signals from the stations listed here overcame the QRN.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0035 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: Welcome to Phil, W2OZB, great to have you! Conditions were still sub-par tonight but at least I could hear everyone over the air. I still ran the Northern Utah Web SDR in my other ear for an assist but it wasn't required. Given the conditions, tonight's Net wasn't too shabby at all -- thanks men!

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: Great to hear Roy from Southern California on the 30 Meter session. I tend to worry when I don't hear my friends :-) The Northern Utah Web SDR helped on this band for the west coast crew, especially for Roy who was 599 into the SDR, but only 559 over the air ... still fully readable either way.
- De AA7FV: Conditions were down this evening, although we've had worse. As always, a very professional NCS. The AA7FV shack indoor temperature was 94 F - the shack A/C just isn't up to it.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: AA7FV was unable to make it due to storms in the Tucson area (imagine that!) WA4FAT jumped in to help out, along with K9TJL.
- De AA7FV: Many apologies for not making the net tonight. The lightning hovered over aa7fv right at the start of the net, but then circled around the QTH for the duration. I listened with my 4-ft active vertical, but didn't dare to connect my main antenna, with its 800 ft of copper in the air. No transmissions tonight from aa7fv.
- De W1SFR: Sorry guys. All Nil here last night. I think I heard Allen but at barely a whisper. I hope things are better in a couple weeks when I'm NCS!

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: We had the very same crew up on 30 for the second session of the SSN tonight and I could copy all be Allen KA5TJS. Thanks to Steve for the QSP.
- De AA7FV: 30m sounded better than 40m this evening, but local lightning came up at the beginning of the 30m net, so I had to disconnect antennas, unplug the rig and make a hurried retreat. A view from our front door immediately after the net this evening.
- De KA5TJS: Great job Bill, best 30 meter session we have had in a while. 100 deg. Really!

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0015 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Yikes...40M was a mess last night. I don't remember ever having condx so poor. Is it the heat? I thought it was something in my house and went around turning off fans and air conditioners, but alas, it was mother nature in a foul mood apparently. My apologies to any stations that tried to check in later in the schedule, but with only Roy and Darrel checking in (that I could hear) and only Darrel with marginal copy, we moved to 30 very early.
- De AA7FV: The usual 95 watts and rhombic antenna. The active vertical didn't help on receive tonight. Roy and I contacted each other a few minutes before the net, and just before the net I was called by K7WDA/0 (he was 579) in CO, operating from an RV. Unfortunately he couldn't be persuaded to stay for the net. Because of the heavy QRN, and that Steve and Roy couldn't hear each other, Steve decided to QSY to 30m early.
- De KA5TJS: I tuned up last night and had Darrel 599. Then the thunder storm hit and the power went out. Did not come back on till some time last night. Went to bed without supper. DARN! CU all later.
- De KA1ULN: I was there but the prop did not let me. I was calling you Steve.

- De AA7FV: Very poor conditions on both bands tonight. Thanks Steve for dealing with such awful conditions.
- De K6GVG: Lightning or no lightning, I could only hear Darrel on both 40 and 30 m.  And he was the usual 599 plus.  Actually, my local QRN was S1 on 40 and S2 on 30, the reverse of what I would have expected. But then, a Hustler mobile antenna on the "wrong side" of a concrete and steel structure really doesn't hear much at anytime!

- De WA4FAT: Quality over quantity on tonight's session of the SSN. So happy to be able to QNI!
- De KT9X: I only had chance to listen in on 7044 for the net. At first I heard AA7FV very well, but then QSB got the best of his signal. I could hear just a bit of a few check-ins, not enough to even catch a full call sign. I'll keep listening in and try some of the other frequencies. Had fun trying!

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Seems like everyone was using one of my keys. How crazy is that? I am humbled and grateful to say the least. Thanks guys!
- De AA7FV: A great net tonight.  Signals from everyone were very good, into AZ.  NCS handled the net perfectly.
- De KA5TJS: Deep QSB but able to copy most from all stations. QRN was not too bad tonight.
- De KT9X: I wasn't able to tune in last night for the nets. I assume I will be able to next week. Band condx here have been horrible the last few days with strong QSB. I'm hoping they improve before this weekend!

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Fairly high background noise tonight, especially on 7 MHz, but no lightning crashes for a change.
- De KT5LA: My sideswiper is on my boat, with the /P kit, so I brought my Vibroplex bug to the party today. I enjoy a bug, and figured if I can't use my sideswiper, at least I can show up with a manual key.

Notes:
- De KA5TJS: Great signals tonight. Arm chair copy on all 3 stations. CA and NC could hear each other!
- De KT9X: I heard you tonight, but it was in and out (QSB) and I couldn't tell when/if to check in. KA5TJS was very loud to me. I couldn't hear AA7FV as well, although he would come up to S5 for moments.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0030 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Welcome, Flip to the SSN. An excellent net.  Thanks very much everyone, and see you next time.
- De WA4FAT: A super Net tonight with armchair copy from everyone. Welcome to Flip, KT9X! Sure hope she can join us again. Unable to make the 30M session, sorry.
- De KT9X: Thanks for letting me check into the SSN tonight! It was fun to hear so many of you this time! On 40 I heard everyone but W1SFR, Steve. I plan to check-in most Thursdays and I'm getting the hang of the net now! Loads of fun to connect with other sideswipers! Thanks for hanging in with me through my nerves!
- De WO6W: I was the fly on the wall. Listening in tonight was my first exposure to a net other than a local VHF net some years back. On 40, Darrel AA7FV was a solid 589 here close to San Francisco… Steve W1SFR deep in the noise. I expect to check in to the SSN in the next week or two! My swiping is coming along and I think it’s near solid enough to subject others to it.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: After the net I was called by W0GV, Gerry in CO (589), but not part of SSN.
- De KT9X: I was also hearing your all on 30 fine, then RF in the shack upon transmit took out my tx. I'll have to chase that down... I discovered my issue with RF in the shack on 30m. Although it sounded like TX was stopping (it would cut out completely - nothing heard), I found that the RF was really only affecting my sidetone speaker! Nothing wrong with the Flex Radio! So I've been able to fix this issue and 30M is now performing as expected. I hope to check in on 30m also next week.
- De WO6W: Nothing heard on 30.

Thursday, November 4, 2021.

40 m: Friday, 0000 - 0035 UTC, 7044.3 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: 7044.3 kHz (QRM on 7044.0 kHz). Welcome to the SSN Jim - N2ZUT!  Great to hear you.
- De N2ZUT: I, too, heard W6BZ blasting in right below 7.044 in an extended Rag Chew and he was 599 here in Upstate NY. I kept searching and finally heard Darrel's CQs. He was around 569 with a lot of QSB. I was waiting to hear QNI so I could hear my number. When Darrel invited me to join, I wanted to make sure I followed y'all's procedures. As I learned, after being assigned a number, it's a cool, relaxed format. Sadly, the static was so strong, I was unable to copy much of the other sigs. Toward the end of the half-hour, I did hear Darrel calling me. I was happy to have him at 579 and was able to answer.
- De WA4FAT: Super job as always with Darrel at the NCS position. What a fabulous turnout tonight! Let's hope this is a trend that will continue. Unable to make the 30 M session.
- De K6GVG: Darrell was the usual 599+ then, almost immediately dropped to zero. Checked the entire band, almost dead everywhere! Impact of a solar flare? Then Darrell came up to 59+ and heard just about all signals better than ever on 40. But no luck on the NE stations.
- De KA5TJS: Very poor tonight in some directions for sure. Went to 7.044kc and heard nothing, then heard Roy K6GVG call NIL. He was 589! Responded and got a 589 reports. I tuned around and found the net at 7.044.36kc. Managed to get checked in!

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: A super SSN tonight which I hope is a harbinger for what to expect as the nights grow longer and the weather colder. Thanks to everyone for the excellent participation.
- De N2ZUT: Wish I had a better report but as noted from others, the QSB was restrictive. I was able to hear both WA4FAT and AA7FV at 599 during both skeds. W1SFR is right across the state line from me and I didn't hear him at all. I could have stepped outside, yelled to him, with the same results.
- De KA5TJS: The band was long for me on 40 with really bad QSB on all signals. Could not hear Bill at all so did not even try for a QNI. Roy was the strongest station at 589/599.
- De KT9X: Unavailable.

Notes:

- De N2ZUT: Darrel: Sorry I did leave early. I completely lost all comms due to the QSB. I didn't want to sign off as I didn't want to interrupt ongoing comms. Looking forward to Sunday.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De AA7FV: Halfway through the 40m session, Allen's signals just dropped to 119 or less.   An amazing, abrupt change.
- De W1SFR: Sorry guys. Condx very poor here tonight on all bands as a storm passes here. I only heard AA7FV on 40 at 439 at best and nil at worst.
- De KT5LA: Could hear almost everyone via the KFS SDR tonight. Band was noisy and seemed to deteriorate toward the end.
- De WB5JWI: SWL report from Houston, TX. It was my intent to listen and maybe join in but looks like I’ll have to try again next week. Lots of QSB and one way paths tonight.

- De AA7FV: My local radio club Zoom meeting started, so I had to leave the net. However, I did still listen, while the radio club folks were still figuring out microphones and computer settings. (CW would have been much easier.)

Great to hear folks on Thanksgiving day, and pity conditions were not better.  NCS did a superb job in such awful conditions. I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, and I look forward to the net next week.

40 m: Friday, 0100 - 0130 UTC, 7044 kHz.

Notes:
- De WA4FAT: 40 Meters was going long for most of us at just about Net time, so it made things dicey, but we managed as always. Thanks to AA7FV for his assistance and to everyone for their participation and patience. The SSN rocks!
- De KT5LA: Resorting once again to a remote SDR to join, this time from one in Utah. AA7FV unusually (for me) down in the noise at home at only an S3. K6GVG, KA5TJS: Nil at home.
- De AA7FV: On both Roy and Jay the signals just dropped suddenly by about 40 dB, soon after the net started.
- De W1SFR: I made a failed effort to check in but couldn't hear Bill at all and others were very weak on 40. Couldn't get on 80 cuz I had other stuff to do. Strangely enough, Roy was 55 here above all others. Go figure. Got my antenna up to about 30' but still need to get a line over my 100' tall maple tree to get it up to it's former height.

Notes:
- De W1SFR: Merry Christmas to all and I hope you all have the best of holidays in these challenging times.
- De WA4FAT: Great sigs from all to start but the band began to change toward the end, as you can hear in the recording I made. Here's to wonderful holidays for you all, my friends. Be well and God Bless!
- De AA7FV: RTTY QRM exactly on frequency towards the end of the 40m net.
- De KT5LA: Listened tonight on the KFS WebSDR , as well as the Northern Utah SDR for a bit. The first RST is what I heard here in Los Angeles, the second what I heard of the SDR. "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" (quote from some guy in a red suit...)
- De KA5TJS: All stations had pretty deep QSB and we had a digi dork fire up on us for a while. Merry Christmas and look for all of you next year.
