Evan, K9SQG was our net control for today's 7.238 tech net. We had to run the net on 7.241 due to 7.238 being occupied. The band was in terrible shape overall.?

There were 18 stations participating using the following equipment.?

B line: ?1
C line: ?2
TR4: ?2
TR5: ?5
TR7: ?5
Other: ?3

73's,

Is this mostly an East Coast thing? I was listening, nothing heard.
What time does it run, in UTC? I read "4:00pm EST / 3:00PM CST". Does it
change for daylight savings time?

Jerry,

Yes, it does change relative to UTC, as it remains 1600 Eastern (whatever) time.?

Jerry,

It depends on propagation. ?We've had checkins (not today) from Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, Delaware, etc. but propagation holds all the cards. ?The time does not change, it is always 4 PM EST pm on Sundays.

If you can't hear the net directly, ?there are some remote receiver sites on the east coast that can be used to listen in.

73,

Evan, K9SQG

Ah, that's where everyone was.? I was hoping for a critical audio report on a "new to me," TR4-CW-RIT that followed me home.? I also have no VOX on SSB and no delay on CW regardless of how the VOX control is adjusted.? Other than that, it's in "CCA Excellent" condition.

With band condx as they were, it would have been a tough net.? I did not even hear slight splatter from 7241.0 but was waiting on 7238.0.? As I don't yet know all of the people on our net, I figured the folks which were on 7238.0 at 3:30 EDST we early and waiting for the net to start.

According to Dr. Tamitha Skov, "The Space Weather Lady," we were hit with solar storms and that did the bands in:
