CQ, CQ, CQ, Ham Radio Ops, Time for a Net!

[qrprat77]

It's ok brother, we'll try again next week.
We'll keep this thread running for info about when the net will be, and where it will be, and this thread: https://www.survivalandpreparednessf...9073#post39073 for who was on the net and what we discussed.

We will hold the net again same bat time, same bat frequency, conditions permitting.
If you don't have a ham license, but do have a radio, feel free to tune in and read the mail! This is about PRACTICE! I will be practicing antenna deployment. I will change my antenna, and we can do some comparisons between my dipole, and my W3EDP (Theoretically, they should be very similar)
CU on the air!

W3EDP antenna deployed. Will be using it and the Dipole for testing, bout 2.5 hours to go fellers!

[qrprat77]

QRM is on 7.208

WEll fellers, I can't find a clear frequency.
try again later perhaps?

I would still be monitoring via the net and we are having high chance of severe weather so it's up to you as I might have shut down or lose power anyway.

So last Sunday, in anticipation of the net, I deployed my W3EDP antenna. I wrote a personal blog article about it here: http://skattagun.blogspot.com/2012/0...-deployed.html
Here's the video playlist of me deploying the antenna:

I will probably be out of town this Sunday, d/k yet where exactly I'll be when, but we will have another net!

Dear Everybody,
I will be testing some stuff in the morning. Will be on 40m, will post exact freq when I get there. Waking Up REAL early (for me at least) 10:00 UTC, QRV (that's on the air) at 10:15 UTC.

Well, that was fail. Managed to awaken, but not to get out of bed, lol. Had some Ammo inventory last nite that may have contributed to a distinct lack of motivation. Will try again tomorrow.
