Sam and others, Sorry to those who tried but were unable to check in. We may need a more systematic relay approach to help us through the strange differential propagation conditions we are experiencing. Some hear others well and some don't. I will be looking at a second antenna here (maybe just for receive, maybe both). Keep trying. If anyone who hears most stations wants to stick around for the entire net to help relay in others, that would be great. Thanks,

Texas only station I heard clearly (S8) was one of the 4's not sure which one it was, but he changed the # of which rig he was operating from, there was a big heterodyne on freq from a signal about 2 kc away so any copy was poor since my K2 has no notch filter. I tried asking for a relay a couple of times, but no response. -- GB & 73 KA5OAI Sam Morgan ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
