QCWA Chapter 41 Net Attendance for 02/05/2025

 

开云体育

Good Morning QCWA41 Net Controllers,

?

The QCWA related Net spreadsheet has been attached.? The list shows that Mason Sarles, K5YHX had 18?attendees this morning on January 5th. ?Jim Popelarski, W5WN, Jerry Sams, N5KNU, and Foster Rich, K5EUZ, all assisted in helping out with some of the distant Western United States locations – Primarily California, Arizona, and New Mexico.

?

The normal Sunday QCWA41 7:00 AM net caller sequence is Carl Solomon followed by Jim Popelarski followed by Jerry Sams followed by Mason Sarles.? Jerry Sams, N5KNU, has offered to join the regular callers list and we are grateful to have him.? Jerry does a great job as a net controller and we are lucky to add him to our net controller list.? Jay Urish, W5GM, has also volunteered to be one of the QCWA41 net controllers. He would do a good job and could probably be heard by almost everyone.? I believe Mason Sarles, Foster Rich and I would be willing to assist Jay if he needed some help with some of the distant stations.? I can hear almost all of the California, Arizona and New Mexico stations using the Reno SDR repeater.


Mason had one Guest check in who had only a General Class License and was therefore not eligible to check in on the 3835 MHz frequency that we use every Sunday morning at 7:00 AM.? An Advanced Class or an Extra Class license is required at the frequency we use every Sunday morning.

?

Please look at the QCWA Net List Attendee Count I attached above and you will see that we have a number of users that have not checked in for quite some time.? I believe we should make an effort to contact these users and see if they intend to begin checking in on a regular basis.? If they do not we should let them know that they will be eliminated from our list of current users.? Each of the QCWA41 Sunday net callers should make this announcement every week as soon as you start the net.

?

Your faithful servant,

?

On this upcoming net, I plan on "polling the audience" to gauge signal strength from my QTH. I am not sure who NCS will be, but I will get them to check me in first and then get folks to report how well they hear me.

Mason Sarles had a total of 14 attendees and I have attached a PDF which has the name, call sign, location and some other information on each attendee.? Mason did a superb job of calling the net this morning. He can reach essentially all of our members from his QTH in the far western extent of Oklahoma both receiving and transmitting.

?

Please note that I have moved the two relatively new users, Donald Norton, KB7USA, who resides in Kingman, AZ and Jeff Salmons, N5ECP, who also resides in Kingman, AZ to near the top of our list.

?

The QCWA41 folder you created is a much better place for the PDF to go every week.? Please insert this note when you insert the note in the QCWA41 folder.

Thank you for being willing to do this!

QCWA Dallas Net Attendee report for 9/29/2024

 

开云体育




Ladies and Gentlemen,

?

The net controllers have decided that I should send each of you a net attendance report after each Sunday 7:00 AM QCWA net.? This will give you a moving idea of which members checked in every Sunday.

?

Jim Popelarski ran the net yesterday with 10 attendees. ?I could hear some of the Western US stations on the Reno SDR Repeater and Foster Rich assisted us in calling several of the missing California and Nevada stations.? Mason also assisted us because of his location at the western edge of the Oklahoma Panhandle he can hear and be heard by almost everyone on our list.? He was very helpful in backing us up when our noise levels exceeded the point where we could hear every station.

?

Jim Popelarski ran the net on September 29th ?so Mason Sarles will run it on October 6th.

?

73 and Best wishes to all of you.
