The weekly LARG Thursday Night HF SSB Nets met at 8 PM June 20, 2019. It was a short net because there were only three of us:

K8SYH, Bill
K3WD, Bill
W5ODJ, John

It’s Field Day 2019 weekend! We all mentioned we have plans to play a little in the event. In the past 9-10 years this day (Friday) would be a big day for our club as we planned to set up a 4A or 5A station for the event. It feels a little strange that we are not doing it this year. I hope each of you have found something to do on this big radio weekend.

73!

Today was a good review of DSP technology given by our very own Jeff Crawford, K0ZR. Always so much to learn!

Breakfast at IHOP was good fun even though it happens at 7am. I’ll need a nap today.

Called the weekly slow cw net at 8:00PM with only two check ins – K3WD (Bill) and me. We had a nice 30 minute qso discussing family visits and vacations.  Also, along with all the other ham activities this coming weekend, don’t forget that this weekend is the Summer Stew Perry 160 meter cw contest.  I hope to get a few more South America contacts after the club meeting and the ham fest.  73 de Dave KE4S

The 75-meter session was opened at 20:00 EDT on 3675 kHz with 3 check-ins:

Signal levels recorded at NCS QTH Potomac Falls in eastern Loudoun County, Virginia (FM19ha)

Short-range conditions were fair. After two rounds of comments the 75-meter session was closed at 20:13 EST.

The 10-meter session of the net was called at 20:14 EDT on 28405 kHz, but no local stations were heard.

Thanks for participating.

We had three check ins tonight on 80 meters, with quiet band conditions: KT9N Chris, K3WD Bill, and KE4S Dave. Nice chat and reminded each other about the club meeting coming up on Saturday. See you there!
