We had a total of 12 check ins this week (including the NCS). Signals varied quite a lot this evening, with some QSB. Thanks to the numerous relay stations for the assists this evening. Very nice hearing from the new check ins and hope to see all of you again. The net concluded at 9:48 PM ET.

A shout out to the folks that checked in with classic TenTec equipment (a first in my memory of being NCS of this net), and in particular, Bart, in Murfreesboro, TN, my old stomping ground. I got my Novice license there when I was in high school in 1970.

We have a really great group of folks checking in, and I encourage anyone in the Midwest and adjoining areas to try to check in next week. We also experimented with the Utah SDR#1, and were able to hear a number of us on the SDR. Later, other stations in the western half of the US covered us up on the SDR, although we couldn't hear them direct here in the Midwest.

Also, a couple of stations complained of a 'roaring' noise (like an open mic) on the frequency, which we decided was likely foreign broadcast (or jamming of a foreign broadcast - take your pick). If this persists, we may yet have to go looking for another frequency. I couldn't hear it at my QTH in Ann Arbor, MI, due to a persistent S7 noise floor, here.

As a reminder, if you go to https://netlogger.org at the net starting time, you should see the frequency we are using that evening, if we must QSY due to busy frequencies.

73,

-- Dave, N8SBE
