Anzo Net on
14,293 Long
Path.
Many
thanks to
Klaus HB9CQS
for this
report :-
Greetings
Bill,
ANZO Net
The band
was
quiet
when I
started
listening
so I
refrained
from
calling
CQ ROAR
and kept
listening. It
was a
mistake
I will
not
repeat. The
band
was wide
open.
The good
numbers
on this
Sunday
were 82
- 1 - 0.
05:45z
VK4ZD,
Bill.
Immediately
59+
here.
Same
from
Bill. Faded to
43
before
second
peak at
56.
05:47z
VK3KCD,
Peter.
59/59.
10 deg
C. Rain
prevented mounting of
spider
beam.
Not
necessary
either.
06:05z
ZL1RD,
Rob. 54
in the
clear
and 56
after
Rob adjusted antenna.
Got
57-58. Lost
rather
quickly.
06:25z
G4YZE,
Bill,
now
working Bill 4ZD
and
Peter. Difficult
for a
start
but
quickly
improving.
06:29z
G3LUW,
Brian,
working
Bill 4ZD.
55 both
ways. I
received
Brian
and Bill
YZE on
back
scatter.
06:40z
G0JWE,
Don,
working
Peter.
Got a 53
from
Peter.
Bill
4ZD had
to
go QRT.
06:42z
EA7GSU,
Pertti,
heard
here,
but not
workable.
06:53z
VK3KCD,
Peter,
now QRT.
Still a
fine
signal, 54/54. I
worked
Peter
for more
than one
hour.
06:59z
EA/G4HMG,
John. 54
here.
Not
heard
earlier.
Got a Q5
from
John.
06:59z
QRT
( During
the
night
between
Saturday
and
Sunday
Bill 4ZD
had to
drive
Diane,
VK4KYL, to
the
local
hospital. A
gall
bladder problem.
Diane is
back
home
again. I
am wishing you
a speedy
recovery,
Diane.
The VKs
tried to
call
Franz,
3D2II,
but to
no
avail.
Peter,
VK3KCD,
will be
absent
next
Sunday.
So will
I. )
And
many
thanks
to Peter
VK3KCD
for this
report
:-
Good
Morning
Bill
The 40
mx net
at 0500z
on 7115
in VK/ZL
had Bill
VK4ZD,
Peter
VK3FPSR,
Doug
ZL1BFS,
Noel
VK2IWT
and
myself
this
week.
Quite a
good
turn out
and
variable
propagation.
It was
great to
welcome
Noel to
the net
on his
return
from an
extended
sojourn
in North
America.
At 0530
14.293
MHz was
busy
with
contest
stations
but the
channel
remained
clear
here. I
had the
pleasure
of
working
Klaus
HB9CQS
for more
than an
hour at
up to
5&9,
Brian
G3LUW, a
scratchy
contact
with Don
G0JWE
and of
course
G4YZE.
Also had
a 3x2
both
ways
contact
with
Pertti
EA7GSU.
I will
not be
in
Flinders
next
Sunday
so will
catch up
with the
net the
following
week.
