Was also lucky enough to work W0EX before his untimely passing. Sadly, not N0BK though. The net is named in honor of these two SK's. (n0Bk & w0eX, hence BXNet.) Please feel free to check in. It's a whole lot more fun OTA, than on the NG. :-) 73 de Bert WA2SI "Howdy" wrote in message m... Wow, pretty cool. Is this a regular event? "Bert Craig" wrote in message t... Tonight (6/7/04) at 2100 EST or 0100z (6/8/04) 7037 kHz CQ CQ BXN BXN de WA2SI QNI? K 73 de Bert WA2SI It would be b****y CW though, wouldn't it? Hee, hee, hee, YES! w3rv Perhaps we could do a phone net on 7237? Not tonight, though. Yeah, why not ssb and CW versions? Getting past the usual RRAP nonsense and getting a bit serious for once I'd like toss out a thought. RRAP on-the-air getogethers have a (very short) history and some lessons came out of that history. In the first of these sessions a few years ago it turned out to be something of a "long distance" CW round table. PA to CA, MN to TX, everybody copied everybody Q5 at 0130Z +/-. Almost. Helluva lot of fun. But copy this: Both N2EY and I are both in the Philly area. AC6XG didn't exactly overload the front end of my RX but nearby N2EY was even weaker and I had a bad time with copying him. There wasn't much groundwave propagation between Jim and so poof, he skipped right over me. No surprise there considering the freq and time of day. So I have a suggestion. Or two. From what I can tell all the current crop of parties interested in pulling off another one of these sessions be it CW or ssb or both are all rather close together in the mid-Atlantic states. Without further droning on on my part here you guys might consider moving the effort to 80/75M if you try it after dark or maybe on 40M during some weekend mid-afternoon when the gods of propagation usually smile more favorably on medium and short haul HF comms. 73 de N3KIP w3rv |
