0900z - 1000z UK 80-metre Net on 3,694
No report received.
1200z - 1300z International Net on 14,293
Many Thanks to Klaus HB9CQS for the following report :-
Propagation conditions were fairly good, but the commercial station operating near 14.293 was strong and bothersome. Using the notch-filter it was possible to remove the heterodyne, but the side bands were still there.
At 12:00z three stations called in, Mike - N4PF, Pertti - EA7GSU and myself. Mike was not as strong as last Sunday and with QSB and QRM it was difficult at times. We called CQ ROAR several times, but to no avail. Accordingly, at 12:20z we closed down.
I continued listening and at 12:33z I heard Coco - YO9BC. Coco was 59+25 and he gave me 59+40. Then, at 12:39z Vitor, CT1BJZ, called us. Vitor was 58 here and gave me 59. Coco swung the beam towards CT1 and exchanged 59 reports with Vitor. At 12:50z Malcolm - PA3AHC called us and spoke with Coco until Coco suddenly disappeared. Malcolm was skipped out here. Then at 12:56z Bert - VE3BGG called. Bert was 56 here and he received me 55-56. Bert to my surprise reported fairly mild weather. On my QTH it was snowing heavily.
Coco came back again. He had been hit by a power failure and was now his usual 59+25.
In order to better receive Malcolm my beam was pointing towards NW and at 13:10z Jan - OX3DB, - an old ham friend, called me from Nuuk, Greenland. 13:16z I signed with Coco and continued in Danish with Jan - OX3DB.

Many Thanks to Treasurer Bob for the following report :-
Hi Bill, I made sure that I was sending this report to the correct Bill. Very light net today with only 5 checkins;
Ed, N4EDT was the only member besides me. We had three guests; Tim, KF7KLS Dan, KB6NU and Tom, KL3CV.
I went on the air one hour earlier and put our a call that we had changed our net time to one hour later but heard no one.
73, Bob WB7RQG
