Good afternoon David,
I got on 40 at noon and called and called. Not a single response. I saw on the list a 20-ssb-2 slot so I went to 20 meters and pointed the beam to Europe. All I was getting was US. If it s ok, I would like to try 20 ssb to Europe later this afternoon. I had
a little pileup the other day when I did. I just do not want to step on the other ops toes on 20. 40 seems dead, but 20 is hopping. 65 QSO's in about 30 minutes.
73's,

Hey David - should we have an after action HF net on 40M tomorrow or Saturday? Just an idea. In the olden days, we had an HF net after the VHF contests at 11:00pm where everybody reported their scores. Great time to get together with your competition. Way before 3830. This event sort of reminds me of the camaraderie of a VHF contest. Not sure of a good time. I would be interested in hearing experiences.

These modes can not be a free for all. I am currently working 15M FT8 (as signed up on sheet) but someone else is on there also. Cause I am getting signal reports and RR73 for stations I am not working.

40 meters dead.
Don't waste your time....
David, K2WPM
Thanks for that, Kay.
Appreciate the Fakebook report.? :-/
File name simply needs your call sign.
Adif or cabrillo fine.

David, would you please refresh my (our?) memory about the file name that's preferred for submiting our logs to you? I believe we can either send an adif or a Cabrillo format, but I kinda remember that
last year there was a preferred way to name our files so you'd know who sent what. Thanks!
On another topic -- I dropped off the Facebook page for the 13 Colonies event last evening because I finally got fed up with people snarking & barking at each other. During the event, there's been criticism
and complaints from newbies and old goats and assorted know-it-alls on that page about the operating habits and the availability of many of the operations. There has never been one single gripe, however, about K2B. Not one. To me, that says that our group
has done a pretty good job of being on the air on the various bands and modes to provide opportunities for the chasers to work us and attain their desired goals. Good job, y'all. 73, Kay N3KN

Just to add to the on-air confusion, there is MX1COL calling CQ on 15m CW! That is the Colchester Club station....

Sure sounds like a plan. I suspect having the "lessons learned" in writing is helpful. We may not really need a net, it was just a thought to provide an opportunity to get together using our radios instead of the Internet. LOL

I would definitely join the after action net. Would be a good way to bring everyone together.

I have long-deferred business and personal obligations for the next several days / weeks.
I would certainly try to attend, but unlikely...
In any event, we will have a post-event thread for recap, suggestions, etc.
I found, having that 'in writing,' helped me improve the experience this year.
(Thanks again to Mike Dodd for those one-hour slots).
I will also prepare and circulate a summary of other colonies, as well as within K2B.
