WICEN Vic: FW: WICEN HF Net 11/7/17 - NONE

[RikH]

I actually attempted to come up on the net on Tuesday. I could only just
hear John, at times, in the noise and he could not hear me

Hi John & the group.

I can only call in when in VK7 land, or portable. No 80m antenna (rented
property so very limited options) and too much noise at VK3 QTH.

Was on the Spirit of Tasmania Tuesday night.

Would be a pity to see the net disappear.


Kind regards, David

Hi everyone



There was NO WICEN HF net tonight.  I was on frequency (3600) from just
prior to 2030 hrs and checked the frequency was clear, then (when no Net
Control station appeared) took over as NCS and called for check-ins several
times.  No check-ins were heard.  Band noise conditions were reasonable but
propagation was probably poor (as in recent weeks), but in the past I have
always been able to hear someone was there even though copy may have been
too poor to resolve the words. But nothing heard tonight.   

   

I gave up at 2040. 



Did anyone call in and I didn't hear them?  I hope so, as otherwise, the
WICEN HF net has sunk to a new low of no NCS (except for a ring-in) and no
participants.  



Is it time to draw a line under the HF net?  Is it only a "warm shack"
activity?  Your comments invited. 



Net traffic - NONE. 



Rostered net control next week - Me. 



I hope to catch up with you then. 





Cheers,   John VK3ZRX
