March 2023 HF Net

We conducted the February HF Net at 8:30 AM Pacific Time, March 1, 2023. In attendance were:

  • Kirk Crawford KK6KC – Lomita, CA
  • Bob Lanahan KK6WYW – Vero Beach FL
  • Tom Fagan K7DF – Vail AZ
  • Doug McNulty KM4GC – Leesburg VA
  • Al NA1N – Listening in, digital only

We only had time to try phone (voice) contacts. We tried 20M, 10M and 15M.

Here are the signal reports

15M

Due to the propagation issues, it was hard to find a band/frequency that would work for all four geographic locations. It seemed that 12M would do it if we all had it available, but we did not.

Due to the antenna failure at D8, we were unable to use that station.
