Bitx qso night

Michael Davis
 

I like the idea someone suggested of having Bitx40 night, on a schedule and frequency. How about?starting on Thursday 3/30?24:00 UTM for an hour or two? That would be?8pm?N. America eastern time. Frequency 7285, the QRP calling frequency. If that spot is busy, try 5-10 up or down. We can try it and make a go of it every Thursday. 73

in Europe max freq in 7 MHz is 7.200 MHz.

I think this is a great idea however there is DX broadcast above 7200 Khz so I think somewhere around 7190 Khz. There is a few nets that run in the evening time on 7185 but we could find a spot. ?Is anyone familiar with Netlogger? ?We could start a logger and it also has a chat window and maybe if all goes well we can start a BitX40 net!!!

Sounds good.

OK for all who may be interested in Joining for the Bitx40 radio night.? I'll open up a netlogger session for a net on 7.190 +-5 KHZ for QRM at 00:00 UTC this evening which is 8PM EST.? We will need relay stations to help everyone get checked in.? Lets start something great together.? Seeya all tonight on 7.190 @00:00 UTC

KM4OUS Steve in Florida?

That's why some time ago I proposed BITX calling freq to be 7195 KHz

I'll try to be on next week. ?Unfortunately I'll have to miss tonight. ?
 

We are on 7.195MHZ Join us for The BitX 40 Meter Net

I like the idea - I'm listening right now (0011 UTC) and I don't hear anything. I'm in the Reno, NV area, running an OCF 40m dipole at about 25 ft., and an IC-718. Propagation is pretty bad right now, as I can't hear much anywhere on 40m.
 

listening thru webssr still waiting on my bitx to come. where is the net controller located?

I am listening, and I have been calling for the last 20 minutes, but nothing yet!

This is KG5KYJ in Oklahoma City, I copy N5YAV Darwin Phillips Corinth, MS for relay, RST 45. Net control in Florida, barely audible, not quite intelligible. Everyone else too weak to make out so far.
 

Dang conditions were horrible. I heard Gordon W5OU but he could not hear me. Not sure if he was trying for the net or passing by.

I pulled up the sdr in NJ and heard KM4OUS as well but that's cheating :)
 

I guess it's over. It's just two guys rag chewing now. Not QRP. I heard my neighbor W5OU calling CQ too.

Came too late for the party! At 0045 UTC heard a ragchew on 7195 KHz.
Dropped down to 7193 KHz only to hear another ragchew. ?
QTH: Greenwood, Maine ANT: Home made 40 Meter inverted-V wire dipole @ 39 feet high center drops to 20 feet each end. I hope we'll try again soon.

I think we should keep looking for a more "available" frequency for a BITX40 QRP QSO night. Obviously away from the 7.200 birdie. And not restricted to below 7.200 because of our limit of 7.300, and?it's QRP low power and NVIS nature. Organized local QSO's make a bit more sense than multi state low power nets.

But it was a promising start for some BITX40 action.

What do you think?
 

Why not 7.130. It seems to be a nice and clear when I have a look a round.

What time and day to you all have this as I would love to join in.
 

General Class in US is 7.175 up so 7.178 is the lowest General class can go.
